Cur Sewers , —The Commissioners sat on 7 nesday at Guildhall . A " report , was agreed to for granting 700 ? . for fixing charcoal purifiers in the air shafts of the principal City sewers , to be carried up above the houses . The Attention of the Court was called to the alleged it-regularity in clearing away Wood and offal froni the slaughter-houses in Newgate market , and the inspector of the district was ordered to summon in future , all offending parties . Measures were also ordered to be taken to get rid of the existing nuisances in LeadehhaH-market . Some conversation then Vook ; place respecting the difference between the mode of visiting common lodging : ; - houses in the City and that in the metropolitan districts ; but the Chairman ( Mr . . Deputy Christie ) reminded the Court that there was no motion before it , and the matter dropped .
This Election Commissions .- ^ -The rev elations of electoral corruption which we' continue to report from Gloucester and Wakefield ought by this time to be complete , but the lawyers , who prolong these inquiries ,: seem to have no interest in bringing them to a speedy conclusion . The evidence taken at Wakefield is now very complete as to the bribery that was practised oh both sides , and . it begins to show that this bribery was accompanied by intimidation at the poll , such intimidation as amounted to the breach of the peace . At Gloucester , it is not lawyers alone make what is called" a clean breast of it , but gentlemen who hold a high position in the town . Even ah alderman , \ rho , as a magistrateV ought to give an example of obedience to the laws , affords an instance of the ease ¦ with which a confession of lawless conduct can be
made . The Gas TVrants of London * . —A meetingof delegates from the different metropolitan vestries was held ou Wednesday , at St . Martin ' s Vestry-hall , to consider the question of the supply 6 f gas to the metropolis , and to pass resolutions for thepurposeof obtaining legislative assistance in reforming various existing abuses . Jn' the statement read by the secretary-we find the following : —We seek to render null and ' void certain arbitrary notices arid acts by the gas companies —such as cutting off gas without notice ; and charging arrears due . by former tenants . The latter unjust and despotic power is removed from the Imperial Company by their last act , but it 1
exists and is enforcedby most other compnnies up to this 1 hour , and numerous case ' s are constantly handed to usin Which this oppressive power is exerted . We seek to fix a standard of illuminating power , ad ' is c ' Pmmdn in all provincial gas Acts , but which is matter of contract in London ; and I need npt say , from the gerieral ignorance of the public in such matters , the companies' are able to supply apparently unanswerable arguments , which generally ends in a . ' vogno tind uncertain standard , exemplified in the wretched "lights burning in our public lamps . With" regard to the overcharges jind 1 deceptions practised on consumers , one gretftf diflleulty is popular ignorance . Men un-Herstnnd ins . little about gas as about u watch . Tho meter inspector comes round , and , supposing you use n wot mote * -, fills it up with water . You
are thuroby defrauded , and instances were proved ot this fraud operating to the extent of even 60 per cent , against tho consumer . On the'question of the prico'ofgasi the engineer to the naeociation says t—M 29 / por 1 * 000 will cover all charges \ n Whitehaven , why in ' ot in London ?

Bryan King , and the Vestry Clerk , had taken part , ' was submitted . The 15 ishop announced that Mr . King had consented to abide by his decision on t-yro pbirfts . First , the hour at which the Lecturer ' s service should commence ; and second , the vestments ' be
worn in church by the rector and the other officiating clergy . He said that these were the only two subjects upon which his mediation was accepted , and with regard to the other matters in dispute his treatment" of them must be limited by his legal powers , and from their peculiar nature considerable time must elapse before lie could give judgment . The Church Affairs Committee , in reply , protested against the partial character of the reference , and this feeling was shared in by the Vestry meeting . .

NAPOLEON AT BORDEAUX . The Emperor and Empress arrived at Bordeaux on Tuesday , and received the authorities of the town . The Cardinal Archbishop of Bordeaux addressee ! a fulsome , and , at the same time , Je suitical speech , to the Imperial visitor , which elicited the folio wing announcement as to the future policy of France in the Papal States : — " The Emperor thanked his Eminence , for haying understood the high mission of the Emperor by endeavouring to strengthen the confidence in his good intentions , rather than spread needless alarms ; . The Emperor expressed his hope
that a new era of glory "will rise for the Church on the day when every one will share his conviction that the temporal power of the Pope is not opposed to the liberty and independence of Italy . His Majesty further said that the Government which was the means of restoring the Holy Father to theTPontifical throne , would only give utterance to such respectful counsels as were dictated by sincere devotedness to the interests of his Holiness ^ but his Majeisty cannot but be alarmed about the day , which is not far distant ; when' Rome will be evacuated by bur troops . For Europe will not the French
allow that the occupation of Rome by troops , which has lasted for ten years , should be prolonged indefinitely . When our army shall be withdrawn , what will it leave-behind ? ' Anarchy , terror , or peace ? These are questions the importance of which cannot escape any one . At the present time , in order to resolve these questions , it is necessary , instead of appealing to the ardent passions of the people , to search with calmness for the truth , to pray to Providence to enlighten the people as well as the Sovereigns upon the wise fulfilment of their rights , and that they may well understand their dutius . "
News From Paris . —The Emperor and Empress arrived in Paris on Wednesday night . The Emperpr has not been well for tho last week or so . He complains of severe headaches , owing perhaps ^ to the prolonged heat of the weather and the influence of the atinosphere , " sttturated "with electricity . —On the occasion , of thp ' visit of the Emperor at Bordeaux most of the Italian residents in the tpwn wore arrested during his stay ? but were released after hjs departure . These arrests wore made on account of a despatch having been received from the Prefect of Algiers , stating that four passports had been stolen from the Sardinian Consulate in that place , and with
which four Italians had started for Frunce apd passed through Moutpellier , where further trace of them was lost ;—Sonie atrocious lies on Thursdaycirculating on the Bourse—viz ., tho outbreak of a revolution at Home , a conflict between tho English and French naval forces in tho Tangierwaters , and tho departure of Baron do Bourqueney from Zurich , were officially contradicted . —It is stated in Paris that the works of the Sues Canal are suspended by order of the Sultan .

FARINI AND THE MURDER AT PARMA . The Dictat or Farini lef t Turin , for Parma , on Monday , in order to see that signal j ustice was administered for i ; he murder of Colonel Anviti . When he received the sad news ; he exclaimed , " The wretches have fltamed with blood the noblest cause ; but X give my word to Italy that I shall avenge her honour . " Immediately- « po » his arrival a proclamation was issued , which states that Italy has risen , through the noble and devoted conduct of her sons , in the esteem o f all civilised nations , and her public conscience insists * upon satisfactiPn for this horrid : deed , and it shall be obtained . The Dictator says : — 'I am invested by the people with the andbefore all
mission to protect its rights , , * those of justice . The guilty shall be punished , and the name o f Italy shall not be dishonoured . Citizens and National Guards ; gather yourselves around meiunder the standards of civilisation and of Italy . The flag of Italy is always placed on the spot where men make sacrifice of their life , not where their honour is tarnished . The heart of Victor Emmanuel has been afflicted by this dreadful event . He is used to govern a people which sheds the blood of the enemy only oh the battle-field , and which knows liow to maintain liberty for itself , as well as to procure it for others-,, because it knows how to obey the laws of thes
country . Another energetic proclamation m the same sense has been published by General FantL The Procureur-General and the Juge Instrueteur in the case have been suspended . The townspeople have begun to deliver up their arms . Public tranquillity prevails at Parma , and the persons suspected of the ttturder are arrested . ¦ "
