Froffi several towns under the Public Health Act,
where public works have been delayed from various
causes not under the control of local boards, satisfactory
reports have been received of active exertions in pro-
gress to meet and avert extraordinary as well as ordinary
epidemics.

METROPOLIS.

The returns from the D, 11, IC, M, and V, divisions
of the metropolitan police give 13 new cases, and 4
deaths.

The guardians of St. George, Hanover-square, at their
meeting on the 16th inst., resolved to appoint the paro-
chial medical officers as the sanitary inspectors of their
respective districts, with the view of giving greater
efficiency in the adoption of the precautionary measures
of the removal and abatement of all nuisances, the thin-
ning of over-crowded rooms, &c., so needful for the
protection of the public health at the present time. It
was stated on a previous occasion that this parish has
been, ever since 1849, systematically carrying out
many of the requirements of the Nuisances Removal
Act, by - the periodical reports of an inspector of nui-
sances; but the guardians considering that many of the
most important duties of hygienic examination can only
be performed by a competent professional man, have
wisely determined to devolve the responsibility upon
their medical staff during the continuance of the exist-
ing order of her Majesty's Privy Council.
In consequence of the increasing amount of diarrhoea
and cholera in one or two of the districts of St. Maryle-
bone, the sanitary commission of the parish have nomi-
nated five medical men the district vaccinators, in addi-
tion to the parochial officers, in order to afford prompt
medical relief in all cases, premonitory and developed,
of the epidemic.

THE CONDEMNED CONVICT Moss.—Since the con-
viction of the wretched culprit Mobbs, who was found
guilty at the last Central Criminal Court sessions of the
murder of his wife in Enoch-court, Aldgate, and the
announcement to him by the Sheriffs and the rev.
ordinary that the dread sentence of the law would be
carried into effect on Monday morning next, he has con-
ducted himself with calmness and resignation to his
fate, having, as he repeatedly stated, and was deposed
to on the trial, the certainty that, notwithstanding his
recovery from the injuries he inflicted on himself after
the murder, to an extent on the very verge of death, his
life would not be spared, and that lie was cured only to
be hanged, he listens attentively to the exhortations of
the rev. ordinary, but from his habitual moroseness it is
not easy to say with what real conviction. It has been
generally stated and believed that the extreme penalty
of the law would not be inflicted, and representations
have been made through the authorities to the Right
Hon. the Secretary of State for the Home Department
on the subject, who, after communicating with Mr.
Justice Cresswell, before whom the prisoner was tried,
has intimated, that he does not see any ground for re-
commending the Royal clemency ; and as far as was
known up to last night, the law will be left to take its
course, and instructions have been given to the officials
to make the necessary preparations,
