FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE.
FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRAXCE. Loui" Napoleon continues to make the mo,t of the concluding weeks of the recess by munificent civilities to the ninety thousand uiminitive prartorians of the garrison of Paris." M. de Montidivet has lately given us some idea of the ample sums spent in charity by Louis Philippe; but the French had yet to learn how a President oo the eve of a "revision of the Constitution," may manage to BDend out of a handsome allowance a more than imperial fortune in treating the ooJdiers of the Republic to cliicki-n and cbainp igne. Human nature is iu>t unsuspicious enough to believe that a needy, but not tlioughtl. s<, man could throw away so much money without an object, so the Pari- sian papers are prosecuted forlibel accordingly. The accounts from O.tend of the Queen of the Belgians are unfavourable. The bulletins state that the great weak- ness which the Queen has felt for some time past has be- come complicated with an increase of fever. King Leopold appears profoundly affected. His features reveal a disqui- etude which is certainly very natural. his Majesty goes out.searcely at all, and passes the greater part of the day by the Queen's side. DENMARK.—There has been moreunprontabte carnage in Schleswig. Unable to draw out the Danish army from the strongly fortified line of position it has occupied since the battle of Idstedt, and defeated in the endeavour to turn that line on the left, General Willisen has attempted a cor- responding operation at the other extremity, and as far as our present advices go, with a little better success. But as Friedrichstadt is an open town, and lies considerably in ad- vance of the Danish line, supposing the insurgents ulti- mately to succeed, not much would have been gained by its capture to compensate for the calamities which the opera- tion has entailed upon the inhabitants. The surrounding country has been laid underwater, and the greatest part of the town burnt to the ground. The Schleswigers have reason bitterly to rue the revolt which has made their fertile meadows the theatre for a struggle between the German and Scandinavian races, and a campaigning ground for a war which offers employment and pay to the restless spirits of the great military nations of Europe. By a tetter from Hamburgh, Hated October 4, we learn that the brave Danes still hold out at Frederichstadt. The attack, we are told, is becoming an investment, and the difficulties of the undertaking appear to develope themselves as a more perfect knowledge of the grouud is obtained. The Holsteiners have the advantage of heavy artillery, but the country is so cut up by canals, watercourses, and dykes that they have advanced but little beyond the point where they were three days ago. Theoperations are still continued, but cautiously, for the desperate measure of a storm would be a certain loss and of, doubtful result, the only approaches .2_ & .& o the town being narrow, aua tne noisiemeis i™. ire masked batteries commanding them. The slack fire of he Danea it is believed is only aru^e, and probably they •eserve for a decisive attack. This may yet be deferred for .Mo or thrfe days. Since writing the above, we team, from a second edition )f Wednesday ¡naming's. Ti".È". the full particulars of a iefeat of the Holstcin attack on Frederichsta'dt:—" After preliminary qperaiionS of five days (from September 29 to October 3), which were directed to carrying or destroying the outworks before the town to the east, it was thought that these objects were so far effected that a storm of the the place might be attempted. The cannonade against the town was continued throughout the day of the 4th, princi- pally on the houses on the outer border of the place, which the Danes had converted into defences of considerable strength. At half-past five o'clock it was considered all uas ready for the attack, and the troops forming the storming part es were ordered to advance. They did so in three columns, one by the chaussee that crosses the marshy level from the town to Seeth, a second along the Treene-d)ke, and the third by the Eyder-dyke. It was the battaiion (the 5th) which took the named road that met the severest loss. On all the three points the attack failed. The belief that all the obstacles had been removed by the previous cannonade turned out to have been too hastily formed. The troops encountered more difficulties than were expected, and the movements were attended by a series of disasters; added to this, the Danes, who, during the previous days had replied to the Holstein canuouade very slackly, and as it they were short of ammunition, opened against the storming columns, on the whole line of defence, such a murderous fire of cannon and musketry that nothing could stard against it; the column formed of the 6th battalion, though it continued to advance with great bravery, was thrown into contusion and driven back with immense loss. A second attack, made by the 15th battalion, was attended by the same result, its ammunition waggon was blown up by a shell, and the column scattered and driven in; the bat- talion that was to have supported it could net, as the storm- ing bridge over a wide ditch, cutting the chaussee from the Blockhouse broke in. and could not be reconstructed. The Holstein artillery kept up a cannonade on the town during the whole attack and afier the repulse, but with no result save tljat of setiing the town on fire on several points. At midni"ht the cannonade ceased, and the troops took up the same positions they had held during the last five days. Of the loss the Schleswig General himself can yet give no ac- curate account; he estimates it from 200 to 300; it was nearly 100 on the first day ot the operations, and since the storming it is stated by one authority that 200 wounded have been brought into Ilensburg alone. From the nature of the ground and the conflict, it must have been very severe. Of the 6th battalion every commissioned officer fell, killed or wounded, in the storming attack-a circumstance almost unexampled in military annals.

ARRIVAL OF ANTIQUITIES FROM NINEVEH.—The Apprentice, Captain John Hardy, has arrived in the St. Katherine Docks, from Bussorab, having on board a great quantity of Assyrian and other antiquities, consigned to the trustees of the British Museum. Among them are the great bull from Nineveh, repeatedly noticed in the Literary Gazette, weighing twelve tons, ami a lion weigh- ing nine tons. There are also seven coffins, containing many curious relics rof the manners and usages of Eastern countries regarding the ceremonies observed in burying their dead. This vessel was chartered by the British Museum, and these antiquities were shipped in April last at Bnssorab, and great care has been taken by Captain Hardy to bring them home perfect and entire. The Ap- prentice was off the Cape of Good Hope during the late gales, when so many vessels were lost or sustained severe damage, but she providentially escaped injury, and has safely arrived with her valuable aud interesting freight. The Academy of Sciences has at present under consi- deration a plan of a most extraordinary character, being neither more nor less than a suspension-bridge between France and England. M. Ferdinand Lemaitre proposes to establish an aerostatic bridge, between Calais and Dover. For this purpose he would construct strong abutments, to which the platform would be attached. The suspending power is to be acquired by a series of balloons. What next? The American papers announce that the mayor of Bos- ton has made a donation to that city for the purpose of founding a free library,—and the Hon. Edward Everett has offered to appropriate. towards the same object his collection of pubjic docuorents -aud State papers. The latter gift is^ it is said, of great value,- amouriting to about 1,000 volumes, and containing everything of mate- rial importance relative, to the political history of the country from the foundation of the Government to the year 1840. We must Dot omit to put on record a munificent act of charity which we see attributed to a lady by the organs of the daily press. Miss Howard, of York Place, has assigned over to trustees (the Earl of Fiogall and Mr. Mackinnon) the amount of f45,000 in money and land, for the purpose of erecting on her property at Pinner a crescent of twenty-one houses. The centre house is for the use of the trustees and the other twenty houses are for twenty widows, who are to occupy them free of rent and taxes,—and to receive also JE50 a year, or more if the fund will allow. The widows of naval men are to have the preference, then those of military men, and lastly the widows of clergymen.

THE MURDER NEAU HEBDENBRIDGK. —Nothing cer- tain appears to have yet transpired as to the murderer or murderflrs of the unfortunate cripple, James Smith, keeper ct )t)n King-street toll-bar, near Hebdenbridge, on Friday night last, but probably some further light will be thrown upon the affair at the adjourned inquest on Monday next. It appears Smith was last seen alive by William Holt, who tirives a carrier's cart between Heptenstall and Roch- dale, and who passed through the toll-gate a few minutes before twelve o'clock 00 Friday night. At that time Smith was sianding at the door of the toll-house, and re- marked to the carter, on his Russia" through the gatf, that he was only just iu time, and that had he been a few minutes Inter he would have been subject to a fresh toll, The door of tbe toll.house, it appears, was usually fastened inside by an iron bar, and it is supposed to blubeeA 10 fastened on tb« night of the murder,
TOTAL WHECK OF EAST INDIAMEN.
TOTAL WHECK OF EAST INDIAMEN. SUPPOSED DliEADFUL LOSS OF LIFE. By the arrival of the Overland Mail from India, on Fri- day afternoon, the .onder-r-teis at Lloyds were put in possession of information relative to the melancholy loss of three first-class ships employed in the East India trade, namely, the Manch^s^er, (>00 tons, bou ud for Loudon; the A, iadne, 700 tons. of Greenock, bouird for Liverpool; and the Nereid, 700 tons, of London. That of the Ariadne created the deepest regret, I he intelligence of her loss leav- ing- very Utile doubt but that all hands, together with some passengers, had met wi'h a watery urave. The unfortunate ship, we understand, sailed from Calcutta for England in the latter part of July, with a valuable freight on b lard. About three weeks afterwards some vessel hound to Calcutta, ill passing near Palmyras Point, on the Indian coast, dis- covered a wreck, which proved to be that of the Anadoe. Ii.0 UK'U\«J firPs^tiSSpa'tclied a Government steamer to the spot, with instructions to search along the coast to ascertain if possible the fate of the unhappy crew. A few hours be- f re the mail Bteamer started for England, the steamer returned to Calcutta wrth intelligence confirming the loss of the ship and cargo, and that grave doubts existed regard- ing the fate of those belonging to the ship. The chief mate of the Ariadne was picked up by the steamer off the coast foity miles southward where tiie ship was lost, where he foity miles southward where the ship was lost, where he had been carried on a spar. The poor fellow was in a shocking state of exhaustion. He had been twelve days exposed, subsisting entirely on some beriies. As far as could be gleaned from him, it appeared that the master and crew had been carried out to sea on a raft in agaleof wind. The steamer went in Hf arch, and after several days'cruising about was unable to gain the slightest tidings, and returne l to Calcutta. It is reported that there were from thirty to forty persons on the raft, and from the violent state of the weather when it was driven out to sea it is doubtful if she weathered it. Still hopes are entertained that they may have been picked up by some vessel. The ship and cargo were valued at £30000. The Manchester (Indiaman) was wrecked on the S.tuger Islands the 6th of August, a few days' sail from Calcutta. Several of her crew met with injury by the falling of her mainmast after the ship struck, but all hands were fortun- ate enough to escape in the boats before the vessel broke up. It is considered a very heavy loss. She was said to be insured. The other unfortunate ship, the Nereid, foundered on the morning of the 9th of July last, in lat. 4V.52 S. In a tre- mendous gale of wind she encountered, some days previous she sprung a leak, and eventually the men were compelled to take to the boats, the ship going down head foremost within an hour afterwards.' The gale had abated when the boats left, and it was with great exertions they were wot to a vessel-the Emperor, from Calcutta-the maiter ofwhich had hove to and remained by from the previous night. They were taken on board, and received every kindness. The loss of the three ships is calculated to exceed £100,000.

THE CARDIFF AM) MERTHYR GUARDIAN. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1850. HEREFORD COUNTY ELECTION.—On Tuesday last the writ for the election of a member for this county in the place of the lnte lamented Mr. Bailey, was received, and the high sheriff has fixed Friday, the 18th inst., at eleven o'clock, in the 9hirehall, for the election to take place. We understand it is the intention of the friends of Mr. BOOKER to meet that gentleman at the Red Hill, one mile on the Ross road; at ten o'clock on the above day, to escort him tc/the place of nomination. The flattering reception Mr. BooKER has met with throughout the county, whilst exceedingly gratifying to himself, must at the same time be a source of rejoicing to the Protection- ists, in the prospect of sending a representative to Parlia- ment who will faithfully advocate such measures as may lend to brighter and better days, and, we sincerely trust, to the prosperity of^ithe agricultural interest. Mr. BOOKER'S experience in) and knowledge of the commer- cial arrangements of our country, will also render him a valuable friend and adviser in rimet) of depression among the trading constituency of Herefordshire. — Hereford Journal.' MR. BdoKErS'It is perhaps not generally knoivn that -name has' been for, ifcatay yeas* on the county register of electors for a family estate in Tedstone Delamere, to the incumbency of which parish, the hoii. gentleman's father, the Rev. Dr. Booker, was instituted in 1805, on the presentation of Richard Btakemore, Esq., M.P. Dr. Booker vacated the rectory in 1814, for the important parish of Dudley. In his history of Broxash Hundred Mr. Duncomb has published a poem by Dr. Booker on the brook which traverses the romantic dingles of Tedstone.— Mttf. HIGH TIDES.'—In the early part of this week the tides rose to rather extraordinary heights, being impelled by a violent gale, which caused the waters to be dashed fu- riously against the station,- and works of the South Wales Railway. This influx of the tidal stream was well calcu- lated to test the solidity of the embankments which, we hear, bore the shock without suffering the slightest injury. PASTORAL AID SOCIETY.—On Wednesday afternoon next the Bishop of LLindaff will preside at the annual meeting of this society -the proceedings to be commenced at three o'clock precisely. In addition to his lordship, several clergymen, and the deputation, the Rev. E. Tot- tenham, the able and eloquent Prebendary of Wells, will attend and address the meeting.-See ado. SURVEY OF CARDIFF. — A party of surveyors from the Board of Ordnance, under the direction of Captain HEATTlE, are erecting a platform on the summit of Saint John's tower, prej aratory to taking from thence a trigono- metrical survey of this place and its immediate neigh- bourhood, by which the chain measurement of the men, who will be employed to make a more detailed survey, can be checked. Thus the work will be done in the most accurate manner. BOROUGH OF.CARDIFF.—Charles Vachell, Esq., Mayor, and Messrs. William Nell and William Alexander, asses- sors, held a court at the town-hall, on Monday last, for revising the list of burgesses; but as there were no ob- jections, the business was strictly of a formal nature. RHUDDLAN EISTEDDFOD. — We omitted to state in our last, that Mr. Llewelyn Williams, of Caerphilly, who was declared Second-to Mr. Ellis Roberts in the early part of the Eisteddfod, subsequently came off victor in another contest, viz.,—For the best performeron the triple harp, a premium of E8, and a silver harp, value £ 7. EGLWYSILAN.—T^e eighteenth annual harvest meeting was held at Eglwysilan church, on the 2nd and 3rd of this month, when the sermons delivered on the occasion were of more than ordinary character, which very visibly affected all the attentive audience which this year was unusually large. -There were twelve clergymen present, viz the Revs. M. R. Morgan, J. Morgan, W. Leigh Morgan, E. Leigh, W. Davies, E. Pric^, T. Walters, J. Griffiths, W. Williams, J. Griffith, W. Leigh. THE LORD BISHOP of the Diocese held a confirmation at Glyntaff church tin Wednesday last, when about 150 persons were recipients of that apostolical rite, which was administered in English and Welsh, and in the latter with perfect accuiacy, much. to the astonishment of the Welsh part of the congregation. The service was read I in hothlanguagfs by the vicar of the parish. FlUE IN THE CANAL.—At rather a late hour on Sun. day night the Catherine, of Exeter, lyiug in the Ghmor- gaushire Caual, was discovered to be on fire in the cook- ing-house: but with the assistance of the crews of the neighbouring vessels, those on board were euabled to extinguish all cause of alarm before the arrival of the police with the fire-engine. Mn. WiL^TAJT' LEWIS, of. Smith-street, is this week giving 'fresh evidence jjf-h'* determination to be foremost in providing his- friends and the .9 toe (fn'tcn'lenheisij^xpo'ries to public inspection, STREET SwEEt'lKG.- The estimated expense to be in- curred in sweeping and cleansing the streets of this borough forms a very considerable item. It was stated to the Board of Health on Wednesday by Mr. Thomas Watkins, clerk, that the cost of sleeping and hauling for the ensuing thiee months would, probably, be £ 104, which is at the rate of £ 656 per annum. Upon the warm recommendation of the Mayor, the scavenging busi- ness of this town is to be performed by contract, by which he hopes to effect a large reduction, as the con- tractor will have to do the work in his own way, without dictation, merely being strictly required to keep the streets in a proper state. The Aurora, from Cardiff, was wrecked off Holyhead on the 7th instant,—crew saved. Goon SPORT—On Tuesday last Mr. Harding, keeper to R. F. Jenner, Esq., of Wenvoc Castle, went to Barry Island, where he put up a covey of thirteen partridges. In twelve shots he killed twelve birds, and what is very remarkable they were all cocks. GROCERY STOLEN.—Agriculturists who bring carts to market and make them the place of deposit for grocerv and other articles which they may purchase, must learn caution from the following circumstance: -On the night of Saturday last there was stolen from a cart, the property of Mr. Nicholas Jones, of Lambethery, a basket contain- ing shop goods of various kinds. The cart was standing us at the door of the market-house; and had, no doubt, attracted the attention of some of the numerous thieves who prowl about the streets. GARDEN ROBBERIES.T-We have heard of several de. predations of this kind lately; and on Sunday night three daring attempts were made tc steal the grapes which hang in beautiful bunches from a magnificent vine that Mr. Roberts, Ty'n-yr-ardd, has on his premises. For- tunately, Mr. Roberts was at home, and his presence scared away the scoundrels.. DEAD BODY SEEN IN THE CHANNEL.—Mr. Richard Rose, master of the Morvalhalham, of Bristol, now lying in the Bute Dock, saw at It A M., on the 5th instant, in the Bristol Channel, off Clevedon, the body of a man floating on the surface of the water. The deceased ap- peared to have been a member of the rifle-brigade; but his remains were too much decomposed to be meddled with. He had a cap on his head, was lying on his back, and had his arms extended. ACCIDENT ON THE TAFF VALE RAILWAY.—On Friday last, a man named Evans sustained very serious injuries on this line through his own imprudence. It seems that he neglected taking his seat in one of the carriages when the train arrived; and that when it was on the point of moving he jumped on the step of a second class carriage, from which position he was removed. He then ran back to one of the first class carriages; and supported himself on it by seizing the handle of a door; but being unac- customed to ride in such a position, or careless, he fell down between the carriages and the platform, by which one of his arms was broken. A carriage went over his leg. He had been previously cautioned. THE LATE ATTACK OT CHOLERA AT THE SEA LOCKS (1849).—MALARIA FROM PUTRESCENT MUD. While epidemic cholera was prevailing in the town of Cardiff, in the month of June, 1849, a sudden attack of the dis- ease took place in a cluster of houses about a mile and a half distant from the tpwnt situated near a canal, from which the water had been, drawn off, leaving a large sur- face of black putrescent mud to the direct action of a hot sun, and the result waa;.ihiat very offensive effluvia were immediately.perceptible. The smelt:was complained of by the inhabitants of all the adjoining houses, and pro- duced a variety of symptoms, varying in intensity in dif- ferent individuals. There were on this spot 22 houses, 3 of which were vacant, and the total population was 117 souls. Out of the 19 inhabited houses 15 were attacked, so that only 4 escaped..There were in all 43 cases of diarrhoea, 33 of developed cholera, and 13 deaths so that nearly one-third of the inhabitants were attacked with cholera, and one-ninth of the whole perished. The works of the canal were finished as expeditiously as possible, and the water admitted. Persons ou the spot stated that the air felt purer immediately, and the disease was nr- rested.—From the Report of the General Board of Healtla on the Epidemic Cholera. A SINGULAR SCENE occurred at the close of the pro- ceedings in our borough police-court on Monday last, caused by an application which a decent-looking woman made for a summons against a Latter-day Saint" and his wife. Applicant's story was, that she and her family were sitting down peaceably by their humble fire-side on Saturday night, enjoying a frugal meal after a hard day's toil, when suddenly several violent kicks were given to the door. She got up and saw outside a Saint" in a most unseemly plight—drunk, cursing and sweating, and vowing vengeance against her and her husband. She was not aware that she had given the man any provoca- tion further than having upon more than one occasion expressed an opinion that Saints" could not cast out devils, perform miracles, or cure diseases by the applica. tion of holy oil." Oh, but," said the Saint's" wife, you may depend upon it that they can, although the people of the world do not believe it: they can cast out devils easy enough;" but applicant persisted in discre- diting the averment—appealing to the presence of «• devils" in many of the "Saints" who got drunk, beat their wives, and were guilty of other atrocjties. It appears that those disputes ended in an open rupture. The magistrates granted a summons, as the woman solemnly swore that she feared the "Saint" would do her some bodilv harm. WHUCHURCH.—The police bf this town having sue. ceeded in driving several well-known thieves from their usual haunts, they are compelled to prosecute their nefari. ous employment in our rural districts, where parties are not so guarded. We have heard that the Maltsters' Arms public-house, at Whitchurch, was entered on the night of rhuisday week, and that the plunderers stole theiefrom en pounds in silver, some hams, some women's boots, ind two boxes of cigars.

CARDIFF BOARD OF HEALTH.
CARDIFF BOARD OF HEALTH. An adjourned meeting of the Local Board of Henlih was held in the council-room at the Town-hall, on Wed- nesday last, when "there were present— CHARLES VACHELL, EsQ^Mayor.in the chair, A'derman Coffin I Aliermsn Morgan „ Moore, M.D. | And the following councillors: — Mr. William Bird I Mr.Prichard „ William Harris Pride „ M. A. t.:sle „ Tredwen Gritritli Pliilips NN. P. Watkius Also, Mr. Thomas Watkins, clerk; Mr. Bowen, collector; Mr. Clinton, surveyor. pro tern.; and Mr. Stockdale. inspec- tor of iiuiaances. The MAYOR said that the first business to which he should have to direct the attention of the board, was the estimates which the clerk had received instructions to make, in order to enable the board to proceed to declare a rate to meet the exigencies of the town. The CLERK (Mr. Thomas Watkins) then read the minutes of the last meeting; and said that in accordance with resolutions which had been entered into he had pre- jl pared estimates for three months; and also for six months, I inasmuch as the object which the board had in view in requiring estiuistes to be made was to cover as much time as should intervene between the present period und the completion of the survey. That could not be done under five or six months; and, therefore, he had thought it better to cover that period. He bad from Mr. Clinton a detailed statement of all the expeuses which were likeiv to be incurred^ it^ «r»~ i> afrd ^Cr. ac- CUU.IT OI tne rate street commissioners, showing th* state of their finances up to the time when they were super- seded by the Board of Health. ? This account, which was very ably drawn out by the clerk, enabled the members to see at a glance the position in which they stood. He read the principal items, com- menting as he proceeded and ausweriag every question put to him. He also read the following estimates:— Estimate of the Money required for tlie purposes in respect of which a General District Rate is to be made, chargeable on all property situated within I duyards of any public lamp. .&. B. a. For the purpose of paying the debts contracted by the commissioner* under the Local Act 576 16 7 For the purpose of paying the expense of light- ing the public ftreex from the 15th August, 1850, to '25th March, 18ol 393 4 7 For the purpose of paying interest on loans 67 10 0 Total £ 1037 11 2 Rateable value of the property a-sessable to the above Rate. £ 23,774. The amount of rate necessary to be made for such purposes upon each pound of such va- lue, at one shilling iu tbe pound £ 118S 14 0 Estimate of the money required for the purposes in respect of which a Genetal District Rate is to be made, chargeable on all the property within the borough of Cardiff.

It was stated that the Glamorganshire canal was only rated at the value of the land which was covered by water, whde a (ltfferent principle prevailed with reference to the Taff Vale and South Wales railways and the Bute-docks and the clerk explained that the Canal Company had secured such a privilege by a clause in their act of par- liament. r A considerable period was occupied in discussing these estimates, as the gentlemen present took the greatest interest in examining into their present position and in discussing various matters of detail, which required and Iv had received the clerk's closest attention. Mr. TREDWEN aBked.whafc w<iul4 became of those wffb ■* were in arrears of payment under the old actf The CLERK: They will be made to pay, Mr. WILLIAM BIRD: It would be a very good thing to publish their names. Mr. WILLIAM HARRIS. I think they ought to be pub- lished. There are many in arrears who can afford to pay well enough and wbo ought to be made to pay. There was a general feeling of displeasure towards parties who had not paid the rates due from them; and the collector was instructed to take the most energetic measures to enforce payment. The MAYOR said it appeared that two rates were neces- sary,-one of a shilling in the pound for that portion of public property hitherto under the operation of the Street Act; and another rate of ninepeuce in the pound for general purposes. As far as he could judge, it seemed to him that the clerk had proceeded very properly in making the estimates, and that the rates were absolutely necessary. The question was now submitted to the board whether they approved of such rates being imposed on the town. Mr. W. B. WATKINS: Does that estimate comprise the expenses that will be incurred in all parts within the borough 1 The CLERK: It will include all the limits within the borough. The MAYOR: It will reach the wharf, 1 think (laugh- ter). I have seen Nelson Terrace cleansed. Mr. LISLE: I think that the arrears should be collected firat, before you make a new rate. The CLERK said that he bad included the arrears in his estimate; and the amount likely to be collected had been deducted. The shilling rate was then unanimously ordered. The MAYOR: Gentlemen,— The second proposition is that a rate of ninepence in the pound be granted for gen- eral purposes. An eightpentiy rate will just cover the amount required but the clerk has very judiciously put it at ninepence as many things will have to be deducted. Mr. PRIDB: I do not see that we can have any alter- native but to approve of it.-Carried unanimously. TENEMENTS UNDER TEN POUNDS' RENT. The CLERK then read the 95th section, the marginal note to which is, —" Composition for and recovery of rates upon tenements under the annual value of ten pounds, &c." He observed that the local board might compound with the owners of such premises for the pay- ment of all or any of the rates to be made under this act, upon such reduced estimate of the net annual value, not being less than two-thirds or more than four-fifths of the net annual value at which the premises are assessed. He wished to know what course the board would take so that the collector might know how to proceed. The MAYOR: You are aware that some of those tene- ments are often unoccupied. Alderman MOORE Are the owners not allowed an abatement when. their houses are vacantT The CLERK Yes; in the event of a tenement being unoccupied an equivalent is allowed.
