ers In all the other wards, hewever, Mr. Dclavan has
been able to keep the work. though ID not sure
they win long continue unless the Councmen concur
with tho action taken by the Aldermen yesterday.
or this happy to DO able to inform our readers
that there is every probability. Though the plan desired
by the Mayor his colleagues did not succeed yesterday

The moment the Councimen concur Mr.. Delavan will
proceed 10 operations with degree vgor that will
relieve tho city the piles Of dirt garbage ashes &c
which present threaten with terrible pestience
