CORD WAINERS (6). _ _ _

In this ward Mr. Alderman SalornOns presided for
ie first time since his election to the aldermanic chair.
A. new ward clerk, Mr. Desborough, jun., also made
Lis appearance for the first time, in the room of Mr.
Webster, who filled the office for many years, and
who has resigned owing to ill-health. Good humour
prevailed, and that feeling was probably heightened
owing to the prospect of the worthy Alderman's
yard dinner, which was to have taken place
last evening at the London Tavern. Although
Mr. Salomons is Alderman of this ward, we believe
there is not a single co-religionist of his own amongst
the electors. The old members were re-elected, viz.,
Mr. Deputy Muddell, Mr. W. Crouchier, Mr. T.
Scott, Mr. T. Joyce, Mr. Jolliffe, and Mr. Taylor.
tVir. Whistler called attention to the many abuses
which he alleged existed in the Corporition on the
subject of paving, and alluded to the lavish expendi-
ture of money which the citizens had witnessed for
some years back. Experiment after experiment was
tried, each costing money, yet none succeeding. He
had himself on one occasion refused to pay the rates,
with the hope that he would have been summoned be-
core the Lord Mayor, when the whole subject would
'nave gone before the public in the true light. He
was not summoned, however, before the Lord Mayor,
but before the Commissioners, so that no other option
was left him than of paying the rates. Mr. Ainger,
fornerl.y of the Common Council, and Mr. Taylor,
replied to Mr. Whistler's remarks, which they con-
tended, so far as the Commissioners of Sewers were
concerned, could not be borne out by facts. After
seine further discussion the subject dropped. •

2.entleme'a in the room of those who retired,
Mr. SrEar. said that ho had two accusations to
make against the corporation of the city of London.
The first was, that they had not paid any attention to
the s3nitary condition of the City until they had been
forced into it from fear of the Government taking the
matter into their own hands ; and the second was,
that in their so-called improvements they had pulled
down a vast ntiniberof buildings, and had taken no
Lseasu res to erect any habitations whatever for the

the at tination of the corporation to these subjects ;
since I e had complained of the state of the densely
inhabit ed parts of the ward, and had recommended the
buildi x g of homes for the poor, where ventilation,
sewer :age, drainage, and cleanliness, should be had
