ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF STREET
CLEANSING, Bcc.—Yesterday a deputation of gentlemen con-
nected with the above Association waited upon the Commis-
sioners of Sewers, at Guildhall, for the purpose of presenting
a memorial, signed by nearly 700 persons, consisting of
bankers, merchants, and other influential persons of the City,
praying the Commissioners for their sanction and assistance
to enable the Association to continue their present opera-
tions. The memorial was very lengthy ; concluded by the
following munificent offer, made by Charles Cochrane, Esq.,
the president of the Association, that he would cause to be
transferred the sum of 6,000/., Three per cent. Consols into any
bank in the name of the Commissioners of Sewers, if they
would employ 520 men to cleanse the City, as now performed
by the Association, and if, at the end of 12 months, in a pub-
lic meeting convened for the purpose, the inhabitants should
decide that the outlay was not attended with a corresponding
degree of good, that the 6,0001. referred to should go to pay
the additional outlay. The Commissioners received the depu-
tation in a very courteous manner, and their statements
listened to attentively; they were promised that the matter
should undergo a thorough examination. The plan no doubt
will ultimately be carried into effect. The cost of the experi-
ment has been 987/. to the Association, 430/. of which has
been received by public subscription.

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE RIVER.*— The colli-
sion which took -place in December last, between the Erne-
' rald, Diamond Company's packet, and the John Bull, Steam
Navigation Company's packet, will, it is said, lead to a legal
collision between the two companies, the last-mentioned
having rejected the compromise offered by the first, to have
the damage to the Emerald repaired, each company paying
half the cost of it, the Steam Navigation Company alto-
gether denying that their vessel was in the wrong.
THE LATE RIGHT HON. W. DUNDAS.—The will of
this Right. Hon. Gentleman, as far as regards his leasehold
and personal estate in England or elsewhere, except in Scot-
lane, has just been proved in London—the personal effects
within the province of Canterbury being sworn under 30,000/.
He appointed his nephews, R. A. Christopher, Esq., M.P.
for North Lineolnshire, and Lieutenant-Colonel Philip Dun-
das, to be his executors; to each he has left a legacy of
500/. for the trouble they may have. The rest of his
property, including his messuages in Lower Grosvenor-street,
Saint George, Hanover-square, and at St. Leonards-on-the
Sea, money and securities, he bequeathes to his executors, in
trust for his wife—a sum of 5,000/. being set apart in the
funds for his nephew, William Pitt Dundas, Esq., Deputy
Register of Scotland, his excutors, administrators, and as-
signs, subject to the life interest of testator's wife, in the di-
vidends, but his said nephew to possess the vested interest
in the principal, immediately on the decease of the testator.
The residue of his personal estate, included in this testa-
mentary disposition, he leaves to his wife, fer her own abso
lute use and disposal.—Post.

THE HIGH FLOODS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF
Wrsnaort.—The late and long-continued heavy rains have
caused the Thames to overflow its banks, inundating all the
low lands for miles above and below Windsor-bridge, to the
depth of several feet. Nearly the whole of the Home Park,
in the north and east sides of the Castle, is completely under
water. The flood between Windsor and Datchet, and also
between Windsor and Clewer, is upwards of four feet deep
on the high roads leading to those villages. The far-famed
Runnymede, between Windsor and Egham, is one sheet of
water. A complete stop has been put to the water traffic
between London and Oxford. On the Buckinghamshire side
of the Thames, serious injury has been sustained in conse-
quence of several stacks of hay and wheat ricks having been
washed away by the force of the current. The cellars of the
whole of the houses in the town of Eton, as well as many-
at the College, are filled with water. The Thames rose
several inches in the course of yesterday.
NAIL-FORGERS' STRlKE.—Upwards of four hundred
nail-forgers in Hales are again on the strike. It will perhaps
be remembered that some weeks back a similar strike took

place, when the masters, after mature consideration, agreed to
give the full price, without discount. Accordingly the men
commenced working, and continued doing so up to the last
two or three weeks, when the principal master began to re-
duce the make per thousand, on some sorts equal to a discount
of from ten to twee ty per cent. In consequence the nail-
forgers' association have caused the workmen to strike, and
are now supporting them at a cost of about 801. per week.—

Two or ‘• THE PEOPLE."-Sir Robert Peel tells the
burghers of Tamworth that he is one of themselves, the son
of
.a cotton-spinner; and that his wife was the daughter of a
private. soldier. Lady Peel is the youngest daughter of Ge-
neral 61r John Floyd, who rose from the ranks.
