ASSOCIATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF STREET
CLEANSING, &c.—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 pa,
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 9871. to the Association, 480/. of which hat
been received by public subscription.
MR. SERGEANT MURPHY. The following letter
from Mr. Sergeant Murphy, in connexion with the fact that
anew writ was moved for this city in the House on Thurs-
day night, informs us that he is no longer our representa-
tive. We can only repeat•now what we have said often
before, that Cork never had, for practical purposes, a more
efficient and useful Member We wish him in his honour-
able career at the bar every. success, and we have no doubt
but his great talents will ultimately him into eminence
in his profession :—" Sly dear Sir— to inform you that
I have this day been appointed stewarde
seat
the manor of
Northstead, in the county of York atforCfoork is
therefore vacant. I presume the writ will :e moved
morrow.—With the most friendly regards to all my fellow-
citizens, I beg to also subscribe myself, yours most faithfully

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE RIVER. The colli-
sion which took place in December last, between the Eme-
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.
'1:11E LATE RIGHT HON. W. DUNDAS.—The will of
this Right. Hon. Gentleman as far as regards his lessehok
and personal estate in England or elsewhere, except in Scot-
lane, has just been proved in London—the personal effects

property, including his messuages in Lower Grosvenor-street
Saint George, Hanover-square, and at St. Leonards-on-the

THE HIGH FLOODS IN THE NEIGHBOURHOOD OF
WINDSOR.—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 uncle'
water. The flood between Windsor and Datchet, and als,
between Windsor and Clewer, is upwards of four feet deed
on the high roads leading to those villages. The far-famec
Runnymede. between Windsor and Egham, is one sheet o
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 beet
washed away by the force of the current. The cellars of tit:
whole of the houses in the town of Eton, as well as man)
at the College, are filled with water. The Thames rosi
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 tc
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 I-:rincipal master began to re-
duce the make per thousand, on some sorts equal to a discount
of from ten to twe. 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 80/. per week.—
