THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

A very numerous deputation from the Metropolitan
Sanitary Association waited, by appointment, upon
the General Board of Health, at Gwydyr House,
yesterday, for the purpose of presenting the memorial
agreed to at the public meeting held at the Free-
masons' Hall on Wednesday week. One of the main
objects of the memorial, it will be remembered, was to
impress upon the board the necessity of including the
metropolis within the provisions of the Public Health
Act. The deputation was headed by Lord Robert
Grosvenor, M.P., Mr. Slaney, M.P., Sir William
Cloy, M.P., and Mr. Wyld, M.P.
Mr. Slaney, Mr. W:eld, and Dr. Gavin, briefly ad-
dressed the board in reference to the necessity which
existed for a constant supply of water to all parts of
the metropolis, and to the increasing mortality during
the last four years.
The Earl of CARLISLE, on behalf cf the board,
agreed with the deputation that it would be very dis-
astrous if no further attempt. were made to remedy
the sanitary condition of London. The time of the
Board of Health had been given incessantly to the
objects they bad before them during the past year,
and it was now specially devoted to matters
con-
nected with the improvement o f the sanitary condi-
tion of London. It was not in his power now, asa
member of the Government, to state the exact time
or order in which it may be found possible to sub-
mit legislative proceedings to the cognizance of Par-
liament ; but he trusted
that very little time would
be lost before a beginning in that course is made.
