PAYMENTS 01' THE COMMISSION.

At the opening of the court the existing practice in
reference to payments by the Commission was brought
under consideration. Under the present system it was
required that the cheque or order for each particular
amount should receive the signature of six Commis-
sioners, being the number required to constitute a full
court. As a good deal of inconvenience and delay
arose from this regulation, it was determined that one
Commissioner should be deputed to examine the ac-
counts during the week, and, being satified of their
accuracy, that his signature should be sufficient to
each cheque. In order to carry out this regulation
more satisfactorily, it was agreed that a balance-sheet
containing the exact state of the funds and liabilities
of the Commission should be drawn up and presented
weekly to the general court, or to the committee ap-
pointed to inspect the accounts.
It was ordered that a uniform rate of 6d. in the
pound be made on the undermentioned districts of
this Commission, viz. :—The Spitalfields, Wapping,
and Nightingale-lane Level ; Hackney Brook Level ;
Lower Wapping or Green Bank Level; Hermirage-
street Level; and the eastern division of the NV est-
minster sewers.

Tenders were accepted from Messrs. Humphreys
and Thirsk fur works in the neighbourhood of St.
Giles's.

Lord EBRINGTON remarked that these works would
take in a large block of houses in a most wretched
neighbourhood, including Church-lane, Carrier-street,
and several others; and they would then be provided
with a proper and efficient drainage.
On the sum of 71. 15s. being proposed to be voted
to Mr. Inspector Field, of the metropolitan detective
police,
Lord EBRINGTON said, in reference to the sum
proposed, that some time since a portion of the Ord-
nance map was destroyed in the office, and that Mr.
Inspector Field had been employed to trace the
offender. As he had rendered very efficient service in
tbis duty, he supported the sum now proposed.
at may be remembered that some sheets of the
Ordnance map were wilfully destroyed in the drawers
in which they were placed in the office, by nitrate of
silver being poured upon them.)
The proposition was unanimous agreed to.
It was agreed, on the recommendation of the com-
mittee, that 1,600 feet of sewer should be constructed
near to the Cutlers' Alinhouses at Ball's-pond, at an
expense of 960/.
It was stated that this plan would fall in with
any general plan of drainage that might be after wards
adopted for the drainage of the north side of the
Thames.
The recommendation was agreed to.
_ _ _

It was next proposed that 2,090 feet of sewer, four
feet high and two feet six inces wide, should be con-
structed from James street, along York-street, and
across the Broadway and Tothill-street, Westminster,
at an expense of 2,1941.
Lord EBRINGTON said it might be satisfactory to
the public generally to know that the outfall for this
sewer would be into the New Victoria-street sewer,
in continuation of• the general plan of drainage, cf
which that sewer formed an important branch.

ings, embracing a portion of the parish to which their
attention had been particularly drawn by a deputation
of the parochial authorities that had waited upon them
a short time g go.

THE CLOTHING MANUFACTURES. :en
THE WOOL TRADE, LONDON, TRURSDA.Y.—The
ports of wool into Loudon during the week ending 'u;
day have been 634 bales, of which 352 were from
Bombay, 196 trom Bkrdianski, and 86 from GermOr
The market is very firm for English, Foreign, and Colo,'
nial sorts.
FOREIGN WOOL, LEEDS, OCT. 11.—The demand for
foreign wool continues without any material challge_a'
about an average business having been done. Prig'
also remain firm.
111
ENGLISH WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, OCT. 11.--Sales
combing wools have Ix en to a moderate extent. Pri_c.l
firm and stationary. In short wools we do not quote Dv'

alteration. 1
LIVERPOOL WooL, OCT. 10.—Business in seoo,oo
quiet, but steady, at late prices. Public sales of 2,d,.
bales are fixed for the 23d, consisting of East 101
Buenos Ayres, Oporto, Egyptian, &c., as well as item
lot of South Australian. The imports the past week
83 Mogadore, 20 Buenos Ayres, 39 Mohair, 437 Pis
India, 254 Adelaide, and 1,725 Alpaca.
LEEDS.—There has nut been near so much d°i.ts%
either in the markets or by direct deliveries from ""t,
manufacturers as has been the case for a long time Psi
but the stocks are yet very light in all hands, and 13,r'e,0
are firm. A moderate quantity of business has 0,1%.
done in the warehouses since this day week, princirl',l
by drapers from all parts of the country, but the la e-
buyers have done less than of late.
BnanFortn, THURSDAY —Wools—There is no di<
sition to enter freely into the purchase of combing o°°,,i
and there is a sort of lethargy apparent. The priori
wool in the country being higher than here ta,*o
stapkrs hold firm, but large sales cannot be effect
the prices sought. Noils and broker are in good recritig
at late prices. Yarns—The inquiries for yarns s rip
keep pee with the production; a good many orders 110,
yet on hand, and the chances are there will be no sego
lation of stocks during this side Christmas, as there •
rather wore doing for Lancashire. Pieces—There 150
f.ir demand for goods for the season, and as the adviltk
on goods has not kept race with that in wools and Yur,"i
both in worsted and cotton there is less chance of ""'
•
alteration in price.
MANCHESTER, THURSDAY.—The arrival of three (18114
later °Ames from America, announcing a very 1e4,711
state of the United States' cotton market, has had 1-.
depressing effect on business here. Very little ets
dente is felt here in the continuance of the present b'eo,
rates. The market to-day has been exceedingly
dilos
and though producers are tolerably firm, barge 41
evidently unwilling to give present rates for all°
beyond what will satisfy immediate wants.
1,00
LEICESTER.—Both the London and country P"-lat
continue buoy, and a good demand for hose, exceP'el
the better kind of wrought work, keeps up. The 4,1-0
hosiery and glove branches are also very brisk, a",ted
the former large orders remain for execution. WOr-os
yarns have risen a halfpenny per lb. this week';
spinners thus following the increased value of thew bib'.
and they say they cannot replace their stook even arty
advance. Wools are very firm at a shade advance
price.
