CITY SEWERS COMMIOSION.

The weekly meeting of these commissioners was
held at the Guildhall on Tuesday, Mr. Deputy Da
Jersey in the chair. It was reported that the
officers had condemned during the past week 626
lbs. of meat as unfit for food, the greater porgy on of
which was diseased. The mortality returns are
exactly the average for the corresponding week of
the last seven years. Twenty-two, or nearly half:
the deaths, were among children of less than 5
years of age, and 8 were among old persons of 6,
and upwards. The chief causes of death were
Phthisis, 3 ; pneumonia, 3 ; bronchitis, 1 ; mesente-
ric disease, 5 ; hydrocephalus, 3 ; whooping
cough, 2 ; scarlet fever, 1 ; diphtheria, 1 ;
English cholera, 1; and infantile diarrhoea, 2; mak-
ing together 11 deaths from tubercular affections of
the lungs, and only 7 from diseases of a zymotio
character.

Dr: LETUEBY informed the commissioners that in
consequence of the remarks made in a former report
respecting the adulteration of the German yeast
brought from Schiedam into the ports of London
and Hull, the authorities at Hull had seized a large
quantity of such yeast during the last fortnight. On
making an analysis of six samples of about 7,8001b5.,
it was found that the proportion of pipeclay was
from 23 to 36 per cent. The Local Board of Health,
therefore, acting under the advice of their law
officer, took proceedings under the Nuisances
Removal Act, and obtained an order from the
magistrates for the destruction of the yeast. About
£177,000 worth of this article id annually imported
into Eogidnd, the greater portion of which is used
in the preparation of bread. The general purposes
committee was ordered to inquire into and report
upon the matter.
Mr. BAYLTS laid before the meeting the heads of
an agreement with the London, Chatham, and
Dover Railway Company respecting the viaduct
which is to cross Ludgate-hill. The Railway Com-
pany have to provide in its construction for the
widening of the Hill to the extent of sixty feet.
The agreement was then signed.
