CITY COURT OF SEWERS.
Yesterday a court was held, Mr. Deputy Peacock in
,he chair.
Mr. Tickner, the second clerk, having read the
minutes of the last court, the inspectors presented 0 teir
respective reports for the last week, which gave a m oat
favourable account of the scavengers' work in the varit
districts. pus
A deputation from the inhabitants of the ward of Fe ir-
ringdon Within waited upon the court for the purie ise
of complaining of the appearance of a largo portal de
urinal at the west end of Cheapside, and requesting ti tat
the magistrates would cause its immediate removal fr. yin
its presout locality as a much greater nuisance thanany
of those which it was intended to supersede. The
curiosity excited amongst tho female population by so
unusual an object, which looked like a monster of the
omnibus kind, and was gaudily painted, seemed to be
the principal objection to the introduction of the strangler
some of the gentlemen of the deputation having boon
actually put to the blush several times in the course of
the morning upon being asked by ladies, who popp ed
their heads into the shops, " Pray, what is that?"
A discussion of some length took place upon the
question of the immediate removal or the bulky ma-
chine, the introduction of which had been sanctione d by
the court itself as an experiment, and it was argued, by
those whose delicacy seemed to be most excitable, that
the model which had bean exhibited at a former coart,
when the permission of the members was solicited and
obtained, was by no means copied in the article itself,
the one being excessively' modest and unobtrusive, and
the other being, as a commissioner observed, carried e.ut
upon a principle of the " most glaring, attractive, and
offensive description."
Upon the other side it vas contended that the curiosity
would very soon be at an end, that so slight an objection
would naturally vanish al together before the great argu-
ment of public utility; competent judges of which vvere
crowding the metropolis :very day from all parts of the
world. That public decency would be greatly prom oted
by an invention which had been successfully tests, i in
other great cities, and that before the court pronon need
their condemnation, they should quietly watch the pro-
cess of a little experience. Allusion was made to ;t ve-
hicle of a similar kind, which wee placed in King Wil-
liam-street, where it was c nnsidered by some members
as a very welcome visitor.
Ultimately the matter was referred to a committee
with directions to report.—;The court then adjourned.

The Rev. Professor Smi th had an interview with Earl
Grey yesterday at the Col oaial-office.
EXHIBITION OF PICT URES BY THE PAINTERS. OP
ALL NATIONS AT LICNIFIEI ,D HOUSE, ST. JAMES'S-SQUARE.
—The directors of this novel gathering of pictorial art are
actively preparing to open their exhibition. Among the
foreign painters, whose works are already arrived, are Paul
De la Roche, H. Scheffer, E,. De la Croix, H. Lehmann, Rosa
13onheur, Goats. Thuilliers, E. Slingeneyer, H.
-TAP, Signol,
Chauvin, E. Verboeckhoven, Willerns Baron Guslaf %%rappers,
Genisson, and many others. The saloms are intended to be
opened for an evening exhibition, brilliantly lighted by gas,
to afford the numerous classes of the community, who are
occupied by their daily avoc.ations, an opportunity of enjoy-
ing the view of these works of art, among which many of the
finest works of the English school, we are told, will fully
sustain the dignity of the national character in fine art.—
