Southampton Town Council: the sewerage of the town: A memorial, numerously and respectably signed, was received respecting the present condition of the sewerage of Southampton: It was to the following effect: That your memorialists view with considerable anxiety the present condition of the sewerage of Southampton, which appears to be in a very defective state. That bearing in mind the recent condition of the public health in this town, they cannot but feel that it be of the highest possible importance that the drainage of the town should during the present winter be thoroughly perfected. That they beg respectfully but firmly to point out the great amount of responsibility that would be thrown upon the authorities of the town in the event of any injury happening to the public health if consequence of any delay taking place with regard to so momentous a question. That they have seen with great regret that the business of the Council has frequently been occupied with discussions on matters of comparatively trivial importance, while a subject so essential to the public safety is not yet effectually dealt with. Your memorialists, therefore, beg that you will be pleased forthwith to call the Council of the borough together for the express and special purpose of taking this question into consideration, to the exclusion of al! other business whatever, and renew the meeting, if necessary, from day to day, until some effective means can be found of dealing with a question so seriously affecting the property and the health of the burgesses of this borough. The following signatures were appended:  C. A. Day, J.P., J. H. Cooksey, J.P., Edward Palk, J.P., B. Coxwell, coroner, R. Parker, R. G. Bassett, Jas. Long, G. Atherley, J.P., G. N. Cooksey, H. J.

Destructive Fire: A fire broke out at Exeter on Saturday night, about ten o’clock, on the premises of Mr. Strong, general carrier, of the Commercial road. The Sun fire-engine, under the management of Mr. Tucker, soon arrived and commenced operations, and did valuable service. It was followed by the Norwich engine, and the West of England engine, which, however, did not play. The premises, which were the property of Mr. Strong, were totally destroyed. They were let out in tenements, one to Mr. Ridge, and more property was destroyed by water and hasty removal than by fire. The other portion was in the occupation of Mr. Pinsent, a wheelwright, whose workshops were burnt to the ground. Mr. Bodley’s foundry, which is adjacent, was in imminent danger, but owing to the exertions of Mr. Bodley and his men, only a little damage was done to his smithy, boiler house, and plate foundry. He is insured in the West of England office. At the commencement of the fire, Mr. Strong had in his stables 16 horses, which were all rescued. A quantity of oats, barley, straw, hay, and harness, Mr. Strong’s property, were consumed: Mr. Superintendent Steel, and Inspectors Lake and Preston, with an efficient staff of police, rendered valuable assistance. Being Saturday night, the crowd was larger than usual. The estimated loss is from six to seven hundred pounds, which will fall chiefly on the Royal Insurance Company. The origin of the fire is unknown.
