The Piedmontese Gazette, of the 13th inst., quotes
a letter from Venice, stating that, during the night of
the 6th, the beseiged had taken by surprise a bat-
tery erected by the Austrians on the bridge of the
railway leading to Venice. The assailants consisted
of volunteers from the different regiments under
the orders of Captain Buell. They advanced along
the embankment, and having invested the battery
completely surprised the Austrian cannoneers, several
of whom were killed. Captain Buell, who first en-
tered the battery, was shot dead. The Venetians,
after spiking the guns, retired without experiencing
any further loss.
The Milan Gazette of the 12th states that the
Austrian steamer Vulcan had run aground on the
night of the 3d, within gunshot of the Venetian fort
Monfrin, whence a terrible fire was opened upon her,
which however did little damage, owing to the dark-
ness of the night. At daybreak the Vulcan opened
her fire upon the batteries of fort Monfrin, and
silenced them.

The Oesterreichishe Correspondent states that ac-
cording to private letters which had reached Trieste
on the 9th, the Austrians on the night of the 7th
had got possession of the Venetian battery
on the Lagoon Bridge, and spiked all the can-
nons which they found. They were, however, ob-
liged to retreat with a loss of twenty men and two
captains.

There was an earthquake at Ragusa on the 30th
which lasted from three to four minutes.

CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

On Tuesday the C.mmissioners assembled at Guild
hall; Mr. Deputy Peacock in the chair.

THE STATE OF THE SEWERS, DRAINS, &C.
A memorial was presented from the ward inquest of
St. Sepulchre's parish. It stated that although con-
siderable improvements had been effected in several parts
of the parish, still there were most offensive odours con,
sternly assailing the inhabitants, that numbers of houses,
in each of which two or three families resided, were
supplied with no more than a few gallons of water daily,
and that one of these houses actually contained as many
as eighty-one human beings ; that the slaughter-houses
about Smithfield contributed much to the stench which
existed, but as that question referred to a matter in con
truversy, the memorialists did nut think it necessary to
go generally into its merits; that they would have ap-
plied to the Court of Aldermen, but that they were pre-
vented by the apprehension of di lay, which they were
aware could be obviated by their appeal to the Court of
Sewers, to whose exertions the public were already so
much indebted.
The CHAIRMAN said the Court were obliged by the
communication, and were ready to adopt the most ad-
visable course of proceeding to meet the wishes of the
inhabitants. With respect to the supply of water they
had rvery reason to bdieve that the directors of tne New
River Company were determined to prevent any well-
founded complaint as to that most necessary article.
The manager of the company had intormed the commis-
sioners that there should be nu deficiency if application
were made to him for flushing the poor neighbourhoods.
The inqui-st having repeated that they relied upon:the
energy of the eommissioners,

The CHAIRMAN said, the gentleman who represented
the parish had submitted their case to the proper autho-
rities, and immediate attention should be paid to it by
the officers of the Court.

Mr. WOOLLER appeared upon the " part of the Ar-
tesian Well " in the neighbournood of Farringdon-street,
about which an extraordinary statement had been made
at the last meeting of the commissioners. Upon
that occasion it had been stated that the
well in question, which had been dug at a great
expense as an experiment, by a company at the unfor-
tunate period of the panic, and which was capable of
supplying an immense quantity of the very finest water,
was a nuisance to the neighbourhood, and calculated to
engender dangerous maladies, in consequence of having
been made a depository for dead dogs and cats, and
other matter in a state of revolting decomposition.
Now, that well had been, in consequence of the panic, left
in an unfinished state; but instead of being a nuisance
and an ottence, it was serviceable to the neighbourhood,
and it was only to be regretted that an experiment of so
beneficial a kind bad been checked, instead of being
generally adopted, as a means of adding to the health
and comfort of the City.
Mr. G. WALTER said, that he had made the represen-
tation, and not
wwithoutbic goodad b
caeuesbe. b
rSo
oi ngcbethfeorhwadarmdadbye
the complaint, h b
several of the inhabitants of the vicinity in the first in-
stance, and confirmed by his own observation, and that
of the inspector of the district, some improvement had
„peen effected by the removal of the superficial filth, but
:he apprehended there was no such change made as would
answer the general requirement.
Mr. WOOLLER said he had seen the well bithself, and
he believed that a finer spring could not be-found. It
had been dug to an immense depth, and 'waif tafiable of
producing a supply of 1,000 gallons a minute.
The digger of the well was then called. Re said he
had been employed by Mr. Stopford, the secretary to
the projected company, to sink the well, and that the
water was pure and good, only the lads used to throw
things into it.
The CHAIRMAN—That is the very thing of which we
complain. Cats and dogs thrown into it must occasion
a nuisance, and we must put a stop to that. The pro-
prietor was with me yesterday, and he assured me that
he would do all we might require.
Alderman LAWRENCE said the commissioners were
not disposed to advertise the company to which the well
belonged.
Mr. G. WALTER said the foreman of the inquest, Mr.
Turner, the inspector, and himself, had gone to examine
the well very recently, and they found, as he had stated,
an improvement as t) the surface, but it was surrounded
by small houses, from which it could be readily supplied
with the very matter which constituted the nuisance in
the first instance.
The CHAIRMAN and Alderman LAWRENCE did not
consider that Mr. Wooller had a locus standi it he came
to the court as the "adv..crtte of the well," according to
his representation, and that he was bound to name a
client with a human liabi.ation and a name.
Mr. Wooller then produced Mr. Stopforcl as the pro-
prit- tor.
The CHAIRMAN—Why, this is the gentleman who has
been represented as the secretary to the company.

much less btrvicea bit, than it is LOW.

COFFEE BOASTING:
A14•11X1A11 SIDNEY said, the neighbourhood of pt.

Bride's had been in some degree alarmed by an ob-
servation which had been made by one of the corn•
miisiont,rs, to the effect that danger of cholera might
arise from the process of coffee roasting upon his pre-
mises. Now, nothing could be more erroneous than
such an opinion. He had consulted two medical gen-
tlemen on the subject, and they had concatre i in
opinion that the essential oil which was thrown off by
the process was calculated to weaken the effect,i of
cholera. That opinion received additional strength from
the fact that his men, who had been in the cwistant
habit of roasting coffee for 20 years, were in excellent
hi alit].

Mr. Deputy CORDER said he had been a ooffae-roaster
for 30 years every week from Monday morning till Sa-
turday night.

After some desultory conversation as to the state of the
sewers leading to Blackfriars-bridge, directions were given
to the surveyor upon the subject.
The coestion as to the experiment of Mr. Walker's
traps, as a substitute for the traps now in general use,
and pronounced to be exceedingly defective, was referred
t,) a committee to examine and rep art.

REPORT OF THE OFFICER OF HEALTH.
Mr. &mot?, the officer of health, reported the eases of
cholera in the City to ba rather less than the numbers
named last week. This result he ascribed to the zealous
conduct of the commission and the inspectors and police
on duty reporting the condition of the several localities,
and in promptly attending to the sanitary precautions in
the same.

Ordered that the report of the medical officer be en,
tered upon the journals.

DRAINAGE IN THE NEIGHBOURII )0D OF PRINTING -
HOUSE- SQUARE.
A gentleman from the Times' establishment appeared
before the commissioners to complain of the condition of
the drains in the immediate vicinity. He thanked the
commissioners for the exertions they had already made
to serve the locality, but there still remained an intole-
rable nuisance which all that had been done by the com-
missioners and by the proprietors of the Times had not
succeeded in abating. Such, in fact, was the stench pro-
ceeding from the bad drainage, that those who were em-
ployed were frequently obliged to leave the office. There
were between 200 and 300 persons in censtant occupa-
tion in the establishment, so that some idea might be
formed of the serious inconvenience and annoyance to
which they were subjected.
Mr. HAYWOOD (the Surveyor of the Commission) said
the neighbourhood to which the gentleman had called
their attention was certainly not so perfect as it ought
to be as to drainage, but the sewer was kept clean and
all the lanes and alleys were flashed and swept with the
utmlst care and attention.

The complainant admitted that such was the case, but
he had no doubt that the nuisance proceeded from the
undrained condition of some four or five houses behind
the premises, which houses had no communication with
the sewer, and, consequently, disgorged their filth into
the most abominable cesspools. He had narrowly ex-
amined the !neighbourhood, and was prepared to give
every information the commissioners might require on
the subject.
The CHAIRMAN said, the commissioners were much
obliged by the communication, and would pay iti3me-
diate attention to the complaint, for which they regretted
there existed so much cause.

Mr. HARVEY (the Commissioner of the City Police)
who was in attendance on a matter connected with the
force, said he had been given to understand that the
warm water which proceeded from the working 4d the
machinery of the Times was in itself a cause of annoy-
ance and inconvenience.

The complainant said he could most satisfactorily
prove that there was no ground whatever for such a
supposition.

Mr. Deputy GODSON said, be could not see how the
warm water which proceeded from the Times' machinery
could be off nsive, when the warm water which pro-
ceeded from great manufactories in much greater quan-
tity gave occasion for no complaint whatever.
The CliamstAN then issued directions to the surveyor
and inspector, and repeated that everything t•heuld be
done to remedy the evil.
Mr. HARVEY said, he attended to state to the
commissioners the amount of service rendered by the
City police in furtherance of the sanitary intentions
of the Court. They had minutely inspected 7,064
houses, and they had specially reported 119
houses which had been in a bad condition, but were
now in progress of sanitary correction. Their attention
had been particularly directed to the houses of the poor,
and he trusted, when their exertions in the present
emergency should cease, their labours would be still
made available in order that the condition of the indi-
gent classes, as to water and other sources of cleanliness,
might be clearly ascertained. He had also to state that
the police had the best means of ascertaining the extent
of the cholera. They had reported that 151 cases had
occurred in the City within the months during which
their assistance bad been rendered, 95 of which had
been fatal, eight had recovered, and of the remainder
nothing decisive was known. Now, the reports of the
Board of Health did not include that number, which he
feared was smaller than the actual amount, for the poor
were incommunicative upon the subject, from the ap-
prehension of the removal of the bodies of their relatives
and friends.

Upon the motion of Mr. Deputy CORNET, the thanks
of the Court were given to Mr. Harvey.

STATE OF PARTIES IN
ENGLAND.
(From the Paris Constitutionnel.)

The session of the English Parliament is drawing to a
' close, the sittings of the House of Commons will hardly be
prolonged until the latter end of July. One single Act of
importance will have marked this session—the abolition of
the navigation-laws, which, although it has excited less pas-
sionate opposition and provoked less striking debates than
the abolition t,f the corn-laws, is not the less a revolution
quite as serious and quite as complete in the commercial
and maritime system of England. A few secondary laws,
a few Irish reforms, have, with this great measure suf-
ficed to occupy the time of the session. In politics these
last few days will have witnessed the accomplishment of
a fact, the consequences of which will hereatter produce
very important results—the dissolution of the party of
Sir Robert Peel.
Since the abolition of the corn-laws for ever sepa-
rated Sir Robert Peel from the Tories, and necessi-
tated his retirement from power, some 100 or 120
Members of the house of Commons have remained
faithtul to the fortunes of the ex-Minister, and regulated
their conduct by his. This compact phalanx tovk
up an intermediate position between the Whigs who
occupied the Ministerial benches and the obstinate
Tories; sometimes the Peelites offered to the Ministry
a sort of semi-opposition, and sometimes they assumed
the part of its protectors. Ou several occasions those
100 votes alone prevented Lord J. Russell's Cabinet from
being left in a minority in the House of Commons.
This state of things has now lasted fur two years and
a half. Sir Robert Peel, weary of having ministerial
views imputed to him which did not even enter his
imagination, and of bearing the responsibility of a
party leader with,,ut having the adventag s of the Mi-
nistry, or the hopes of the OpposAfuti, was desirous
of putting an end to all cotninentaries. He loudly ad-
vised his friends to dissolve as a party, and to enrol
themselves according to their own personal predilections.
Sir Robert Peel could not disguise the divi.loris which
were springing up in the bosom of his party; he was not
blind to the value of the hopes which his friends per-
sisted in conceiving; he was unwilling to lend the au-
thority of his great name to enterprises which he :deetned
Utopian; he was unwilling that the men of talent who
had followed him into retirement, should continue to
lose,,.and as it were annul themselves in a sort of third
party without a future. He has always preferred clear
and open situations, for others as well as for himself.
The youthful and active section of the party long re-
sisted this advice. The Peelites believed in the strength
of their position, and their small number did not frighten
them; they included in their ranks almost all the old
colleagues of Sir Robert Peel, that is to say, men of un-
questionable capacity, and in a condition to make head
against the Whig Cabinet; neither the science of public
business nor the power of eloquence was wanting to
their leading men; they knew that they were an indis-
pensable adjunct to the Ministerial majority whenever
the Tories voted in a body; it appeared to them impos-
sible not to derive great advantages from such a posi-
tion; they were convinced that they should at length
batter a breach in the Ministry, and conquer several
positions by force or stratagem.
They accordingly wished to march alone under the
guidance of Lord Lincoln, and to turn to advantage both
their own personal influence and the prestige of Peel's
name. Instead of effecing themselves as during the
first year, they took an active part in the debates of
Parliament, and it must be admitted that they alone
were capable of commencing or sustaining any struggle
against the Ministry. In order to carry on the
war with more energy and effect, they kired the
Morning Chronicle—long the organ of the Whigs—and
which, under their influence, has carried on an incessant
warfare against a portion of the Ministry whilst it has
exhaused its powers of coquetry to win the good graces
of the Tories.

The campaign was an animated one, because they who
carried it on felt that it must be decisive. Twice a sort
of armistice was concluded, and negotiations were opened
with the Whigs for the effecting of a fusion and the for-
mation of a coalition Ministry. Twice. as we before
explained, the negotiations were broken off. The Peelites,
by exacting the immediate sacrifice of Lord Palmerston,
and the ulterior sacrifice of Earl Grey, required Lord
Russell to decapitate, not only his Ministry, but his
party, the kernel of which consists of a few aristocratic
families united by alliances. They demanded before
the battle as much as after a victory. Lord J. Russell,
who felt that, under present circumstances, public opi-
nion was disposed to support his Cabinet at all hazards,
in order to avoid a Ministerial crisis, and who perceived
that the mass of the Tory faction was more incensed
than ever against the Peelites, saw at once that hi, had
110 coalition to fear, and refused all extravagant conces-
sions, preferring to try to win over individually the men
that he could not conquer combined.

It was remarked, in iact, that notwithstanding the
resumption of hostilities, Lord J. Russell persisted
in treating the Peelites as friends. Several impor-
tant offices became vacant, as well as NOMe of the
high ecclesiastical preterm,nts and rich preb-nds
in the gift of the Crown. These advantages were con-
ferred without solicitation, and as it were, haphaz-Ard,
on the friends of the Peeiites, and finished by fixing
some of them as staunch supporters of the Ministry. An
enemy who l ads you with benefits is not to be resisted!
Fatigue and the ennui of the contest threw the party
into confusion, and the divisions which always arise
from failure completed its disorganisation.
The Canada question exhibited in broad daylight
the hesitations and the dissensions of the faction.
We have already related how the Tories em-
braced with ardour the cause of the Canadian "
loyal-
Nho protested against the indemnity grarved
to the rebels of French Canada ; how they burnt
one of the legislative chambers, and drove out the

representative of Ow Queen from an excess of fidelity to
her Majesiy. The English Mmistry did not hesita,c to
suprrt a mea-ure regularly passed by the Coknial
gi.kture, and declared its int-ration to sanction the
liill.and to maintain Lord Elgin as Governor-General of
Catoadzi.

Ilereup,tn Mr. Gladstone, a eollettgue of Sir R. Pci 1.
a wan of vaeillatin4 character and a rather mystic:ll turn
•)t mind, thought lie saw an opportunity of a! tackitt
E4r. Gr-v, th, Colonial Moister, and resolved to take
th, pin of toe Canadian loyalists." He undertook
to prt sent h. it petition, and supported its prayer vtith
all his talent, amidst the applause of the Tories;
he was about to achieve a victory over the Ministry,
when he himself was seized with a panic at the probable
consequences of his success. He was terrified at the
responsibility that was about to devolve upon him if he
upset the Cabinet, and so occasioned a ministerial crisis.
He prayed Parliament not to go so far as himself, and
withdrew his motion. The next day he resumed it,
ur,-;ed by the solicitations and the reproaches of the
Tories.

But the next day it was too late. Sir IL Peel had de-
cided to support the Ministry, and addressed to Mr.
Gladstone an overwhelming reply, which the remem-
brance of their former cunnexiun rendered more sig-
nificant and peremptory. The attitude thus suddenly
assumed by him whom all acknowledged as their mus-
ter, threw the young Tories into confusion. Lord Lin-
coln durst not vote either for or against the Ministry ;
others either shirked the division or voted on either side;
the rout was complete. When, a few days afterwards,
Lird Lincoln attacked Earl Grey on his own account,
on the subject of the Hudson's Bay Company, the anni-
hilation of the faction was proved by the untimely death
of the debate. and the necessity to which Lord Lincoln
was reduced of avoiding a division.
It would be difficult to predict what will become of
the remains of the dispersed party. It appears certain,
however, that Mr. Gladstone goes over decidedly to the
Tories, and that he is about to enlist under Mr. Disraeli,
who has much need of such a lieutenant.
Lord Lincoln is going to travel in the East for a year
at least, and will decide upon the course to be adopted
whoa affairs have taken a turn. As to the two most
able men of the party—Sir J. Graham and Mr. Cardwell
—there is every reason to believe that they will join the
Whigs. Sir J. Graham was long a member of that
party, with which he broke on the Irish Church ques-
tion, and Lord Russell has made more than one at-
tempt to induce him to accept a place in the Ministry.
As to Sir Robert Peel, he has resolved not to mingle
any more in active politics. He will content himself
with being the favourite orator of the House of Com-
mons—with allowing his authority to be invoked
by both parties, and with acting as a dreaded
censor to both. This great personal situation
suffices the ambition of his old age. His time will be
devoted to his magnificent picture gallery and the sur-
veillance of his senools at Tam worth ; and when the ses-
sion clones he will go and shoot partridges and hunt
deer in Scotland. He has hire d from Lord Lovet a
whole island—the island of Aigus, or "Eilam
Aigus," five leagues from hverness, and
near Beaufort and Erchless Castles, the seats
of the Beauforts and Chisholms. Sir R. Peel publicly
proclaimed his intention at a late dinner given by the
Lord May or (Sir J. Duke) to the members of his party.
He there pronounced the funeral oration of his Adminis•
tration, and his explicit speech admits of no doubt re-
specting his determination.

The dissolution of the Peel party will reduce the
number of sections into which the House of Commons is
divided from four to three. There will be none but
Tories, Whigs, and Radicals. The accession of the
Peelites will fortify the feeble majority of Lord
John Russell, and as the Radicals cannot as
yet act by their own strength, and almost always
vote with the Government, the old contest of Whig, anti
Tories is about to recommence. The latter (the Tories)
will be more fanatical than ever, whilst the Whigs will
be more liberal than they have been of late. But it is
only next session that the cons,quence, of this fact,
which dates from yesterday, and hich cannot sooner
produce any definite re•ailii, will become apparent.
The fusion of the majority of :sir R. Peel's friends
with the Whigs may have a hapy effict in England. The
peculiar character of the Parliamentary history of our
neighbours is this—that with them political di!cus•
sions have always bean, and sill are, a duel between
parties, and not a contest between different classes of
society. Two fractions of the aristocracy, leaning, by
preference, the one on the agricultural, the other on the
commercial interest, conduct the Tories and the Whigs;
but in the bosom of each party there is no interruption of
continuity from the first steps of the social scale to the
last.

Since electoral reform has given so much more
influence to the manufacturing interest, a certain
number of the representatives of the large towns,
such as Manchester and Birmingham—Mr. Cobden,
Mr. Bright, and others—keeping aloof from parties,
although generally voting with the Whigs, have
affected to introduce new classifications into Parliament,
and to represent the majority of the Whigs as attached
to aristocratical interests, and themselves as more espe-
cially the organs of the popular party in the nation.
This classification tended to identify the Whigs
with the Tories, and to break up existing parties.
Here was the germ of those ridiculous and
odious distinctions of class which only end in dividing
what ought to be united and to scatter the seeds
of civil war. The accession of the Peelites to the ranks
of the Whigs, by constituting a great party, in which all
persona who wish to satisfy the exigencies of their amour
propre by refinements, subtleties, and distinctions, will
be lost, will stifle these tiers•parti attempts, and these
culpable endeavours to substitute class rivalries for con-
tests of opinion.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
WarrEaniens Doc NIIISANCE.—A deputation from
the itiqu-.t of the parish of St. Bride, in Farringdon
Without Ward, waited upon the Lord Mayor, for the
purpose of entreating his Lordship's pariicul4r attention
to a representation which they regretted they had to
mike.

Mr. Nilson, the foreman of the inquest, then handed to
his Lordship a piper, of which the foLowiug is a copy ;--
" To the Eight Honourable the Lord May or of the City
of London.
"The inquest of the, parish of St. Bride now attend
your Lordship as chief magistrate of the, metropolis; to
represent that the duck at the end of Whitetriars is a
source of great danger to the public health, which at the
present time, require s immediate attention.
"In , that deck the sewer, which receives the night
soil during the absence of the water, has to traverse a
Oistance to the tidal part of the River Thames or many
hundred yards, exposed to the rays of the sun and open
to the air.
" The tide at high water enters the cloak and floats
into it a vast collection of mud, dead animals, and filthy
refuse, which, as the tide recedes, are left at the bottom
of the dock.
" Stenches of the most offensive description issue from
this dock, and impregnate the air of the neighbourhood,
which is densely populated.
" The urgent representations made by the inquest to
the Court of Sewers of the fatal diseases which might be
produced by these causes not having produced a remedy,
the inquest consider it incumbent on them, in the per-
formanca of their duty, to request the aid of your Lord
ship in accomplishing a remedy for this evil, which the
inquest suggests should be effected by the sewer being
carried into the river beyond low-water mark, and the
rest of the dock filled tsp.—Dated this 18th day of July,
1849. " WILLIAM NASON, Foreman of the Inquests
" THOMAS COTTERELL, Churchwarden.
" JOHN JEWELL, Sidesman.
" JOHN Lows.
" ROBERT FINCH."
The LORD MAYOR said that as he had been informed
of the intention of the deputation to apply to him on the
subject-matter of the various complaints contained in their
written communication, he had sent for Mr. Daw, the
chief clerk to the Commissioners of Sewers, who would
probably be able to give some explanation as to the per-
manent existence of so pernicious an abomination as that
which the paper described.
Mr. Daw said the Commissioners bad no jurisdiction
beyond the boundary line of the sewer, except that
which was given by thp late Act of Parliament. Accord-
ing to the authority which the Commissioners possessed,
they had given directions within the last few days that
the dock should be cleaned out. The other power,
which related to the project of carrying the sewer into
the river beyondlow-water mark, belonged to the Lord
Mayor and the Navigation Committee, and upon their
authority that plan could be carried into effect.
Mr. Nason—As foreman of the inquest of St. Bride's,
I have considered it to be my duty to represent that this
dreadful nuisance has been during the period of disease
keeping up a horrible existence. I have already reported
it to the Commissioners of Sewers, and I have during
the last five or six years applied to the Court of
Aldermen upon the subject, but in vain. Still no
attention has been paid to the complaint. The inhabi-
tants at length, assailed by cholera which surrounds
them, and is dealing death amongst them, have deter-
mined to represent their case to your Lordship, in the
hope and belief that you will afford to them the relief
which has been withheld from them elsewhere. I
assure your Lordship, that although Mr. Simon, the medi
cal officer of health, has just reported more favourably
of the condition of the city of London es to the prevail-
ing epidemic, the register which I have ke-v of the mot•
tality which prevails in our parish shows a very diffsrent
state of things. In my register of the week before last,
I entered eight deaths from cholera, and in that for last
week, I entered 13. This mortality is, ne Moos;., in a
peat measure, attributable to the xistence of such
filthy nuisances as that of which we complain, and
which, if not immediately abated, mv ex, end its pesti-
lential Mee. ce must extensively through the
Tne LORD MAYOR—I shall immediately give direc-
tions, atid take upon myself all responsibility and heeled;
for the total removal of so dangerous a nuisance, whet her
toe authority be a divided one or not. At such a period,
;trid under such circumstances, I will riot allow it to
exist.
One of the deputation said they were happy to re,Tive
satisfactory an as.urancee. Their c,r, at object 1,,
watting upon the Lord Mayor was nut wily to obtain his
Lordship's aid, which they were sure to obtain, but to

learn whether the Corporation of London had or hao
not the power to interfere—it was so much the fashi.*,
in ease,' of extremity to shift off respoasibility from 011"
party to another.
Mr. Haywood (the surveyor to the Commissioners 01
City sewers), who entered jut as the deputation
bad concluded their etatement, said that Whitefristie

of Sewers had no jurisdiction over these dock,, exc.e.Pto

cleanse them. The state of irlrbitefriars-dock raildra,
ported to them a few daya sizce, and he had 'll3„,rit

within twenty-four hours, and the inspector had,Si-og
sequently reported that auc'l was in the course ue-
done Mr. Haywood added that he believed Whitefrisro'f
dock bad been the cause of more mischief than any
the sewers.
The 14 RD MAYOR said he was resolved to visit
the
dock himself; and to see that the most speedy tamed,
should be afforded, and he warmly thanked his fell,

citizens for having afforded him the opportunity of
