SANATORY REGULATIONS.

The Corporation of London are determined to adopt
the strongest measures to secure the observance of
sanatory regulations. In the Court of Aldermen held
some days ago, Sir James Duke made some observations
founded on the emphatic representations of Doctor
Lynch, in the Court of Common Council, on the state of
the lanes and alleys of the extensive district of Furring-
don Without ward. The following letter was transmitted
by the clerk of the Commissioners of Sewers to Sir
James Duke, in consequence of the remarks made by
that Alderman, urging the necessity of making efforts
for the protection of public health:—
"Sewers-office, Guildhall, Jan. lb, 1847.
Sir,—l am directed by Mr. Deputy Peacock, Chair-
man of the Commissioners of Sewers, to signify to you
that he has seen in the Times newspaper of Tuesday last,
a report of some observations made by you, in your place
in the Court of Aldermen, on the preceding d
ay, refer-
ring to a presentment made by the inquest jury stf
Dunstan, relative to some old houses in Fetter lane, in
which you- are made to state 'there was abundant me-
dical evidence to show that the densely crowded state
of the neighbourhood, and the want of sewage, produced
fever to an alarming extent, to which the presentment

" The Chairman desires me to draw your attention to
Commis
fact that within the last four years alone the Comis
sionors of Sewers have expended about 20,0040. in the
construction of sewers in the ward of Farringdon Without,
and that they are proceeding in that work carefully and
steadily. They have reason to believe that upon in-
quiry, but very few places in that ward will be fuund to
be without a sewer. But the Chairman directs me to
say that upon finding any such place, however remote,
in which a public sewer can b 3 constructed, which at
present has it not, if you will be good enough to attend
the Court, as a Commissioner, or otherwise point it out
to the Commissioners, their immediate attention will be
given to remedy the grievance as far as possible.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your very obedient
servant, JOSEPH DAW, Prin. Clerk."
The most firm hopes of a strong support of the efforts
of Government to improve the health of the vast popu-
lation of the metropolis are entertained, in consequence
of the prompt attention paid by the Committee of Sewers
to the subject of complaint.

EXTENSIVE BURGLARY IN REGENT-STREET.—
Tuesday morning. between the hours of one and five, a
most daring burglary was committed upon the premises of
Messrs. Hallstatt and Hannaford, jewellers and silversmiths,
No. 223, Regent-street. It appears that about the latter
hour a policeman was going his usual rounds, and on ar-
riving at the door of the above house, he as usual gave it a
push, and was surprised to find it open. A search being
made, it appeared that some thieves had effected an
locks
two doors made their way into the shop, from which they
took property, consisting of gold and silver plate, to the
amounts
wharfin weight value of upwards of 3001. Fifty sovereigns which were left
in the till on the previous night, were fortunately overlooked
by the thieves.
A heavy barge arrived from Rouen two days ago,
at the of St. Nicolas du Louvre, with the last part of
the antiquities from Nineveh, consisting of 99 blocks, some
weighing as much as 14 tons each. The whole cargo
to 275 tons. Preparations are being
made for their being landed and transported to the Louvre.
