CLEANSING OF THE AIRE AND CALDER.. -REPORT OF THE COMMONS COMMITTEE, ---4 Mr. lienrick has reported from the Committee on Police and Sanitary Regulations with regard to the West Riding Conservancy Bill that they had agreed to the following report :—The Bill is promoted by the Joint Committee for the Rivers of the Wesb Riding of Yorkshire, constituted and incorporated by an order of the Local Government Board, confirmed by the Local Government Board's Provisiona Orders Confirmation Act, 1393. The Bill in some respects gives further powers than those contained in the Rivers Pollution Act, 1876, which, by the said order, the Joint Committee are authorised and empowered to enforce, That it was proved to the Committee that the provisions of the Rivers Pollution Act, 1876, are in many respects insufficient, and such as to preclude effective action of the Joint Committee for the improvement of the condition of the rivers of the West Riding and tha tributaries of those I rivers, That it was proved to the Committee that ' the polluted and filthy condition of the said rivers and tributaries urgently demands such improvement. A report from the Local Government ' Board relative to the Bill was referred to the Committee, and the manner in which the recommendations in that report have been dealt with by the Committee is set forth in the appendix. The Bill does not contain any power to raise money by borrowing. The Bill does not give any powers which can be so well obtained by means of byelaws made subject to the restriction of general Acts already existing, That there are no other circumstances of which, in the opinion of the Committee, it is desirable that the House should be informed. Mr. Kenrick further reported from the Committee that they had examined the allegations of the Bill, and had found the same to be true, and had gone through the Bill and made amendments thereto. The Bill has been ordered to lie upon the table of the House of Commons for consideration last night. THE COUNT! BOROUGH'S OPPOSITION, Representatives of the five chief boroughs held another private conference in the Council Chamber at the Leeds Town Hall on Tuesday. The meeting was convened by circular, and was attended by several prominent members, and nearly all the Town Clerks of Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Huddersfield, and Halifax. The Mayor of Leeds having been voted to the chair, all the pros and cons bearing upon the deadlock above indicated were discussed in detail for an hour and a half, after which two important resolutions were agreed to. In the first place it was decided to ask, by signed requisition that the Conservancy Board shall meet forthwith to consider the advisability of dropping the Rivers Bill for this session. By the second resolution all the delegates present pledged the county boroughs they represented to oppose the bill in the House of Lords should the promoters of the measure persevere in pushing it forward this session,  The man Harvey, who murdered his paramour at Saltley, near Birmingham, last week, died on Thursday morning in gaol. Before committing the murder, Harvey took rat poison, which very gradually produced fatal reEults,  „,, ',•3 4 > !#4.3•(>at".:' . ',54- ".% "I^ 41.' *'''';:e” ''''''t4ls i';',4J't-fi.
