necton with the celebrated burglar, Thomas Sulli-

"CoMMIT NO NUISANCE" There is a certain
portion of the jewellers in the "high-ways and
bye.ways" of this good city who would do well to
now writing; and although it be somewhat of
commonplace character, it might be found, in
practice. of great public utility. Our city authori-
ties could not do better than enforce it on the
special attention of that subterranean section of
soclety,wh sojourn!n cellars and who are, though
low in the world" highly distinguished for pro-
viding employment for those civic functonares
called scavengers.
One of the leading causes of the filth of the
streets is the custom of throwing out of the cellars
all the garbageSand rubbish which the jewellers
therein do not find it agreeable TO retain. Very
probably In most cases those who thus offend the
public eye, and bring blame upon the public SER
wants. are constrained to act SO for want of access
to the rear OF their habitations; but whether of
choice or necessity, the fact is less true that SO
long as 1t 7revas,we never can have clean Streets
no matter what pains and expense are incurred to
that end and it is no less true that in other parts
of the world, where there is a well organized
police, this same dscharging the sweepings and
filth Of cellars into the streets is punished by fine,
and checked with the utmost vigilance Ofcourse
it is for the Common Council in their wisdom to
see TO this nuisance and provide remedy. All
they can expect from their best friends is to be
informed of their duty in the premises
