How necessary they may at once perceive if they will turn for a mo- meut to the statistics of life and death, che bills of mortality of the days when there wss no Metropolitan Board of Works and no ‘4main drainage,’ and when that fearful spectre, the plague, stalked periodically abroad through the Githy sireets, striking down his Victims right and left with bis mularia-envenomed darts. Jt ig almost impoasible, in the light of modern com. | forts and couvenicaces, to Imagine the conditions of domestic Ife in Loudon in the “good old times’ — those uges of picturesque squalor, vcloved of tbe aftust tut abborred of the sanitarian.

TUR PLAC “It is to be remembered,’ says Sir William Petty, jn an essay on te growth of Loudon, published in 1682, “that, one time with onother, a plague hap- peneth ip London once in twenty years or there. abouts, and it is also to be remembered that the | plgues ot Londou dy commoaly kill one-iitth of the inbabitants;” and, further, “the plague of London is the ciuol impediment and objection against the growth of the city.’ In fact, Within the ceutury preceding | she ume when he thus wrote Londen bad | been visited by five separate piugues, which had | carried off upward of 200,000 persons, the iast of the Ive, the “yreat plague’? of 1668, being responsible for 70,000 out of that number, And it must be remem- dered that these desolating rayages occurred among ® population and inacily much mmierior in pumbers and exiont to those of Loadon of to-day, In 1603, for instance, the deaths from tho plague were 3 out of &7 from aii other diseuses, aud im 1625 there were eight | times us many deaths us there were christenings in the preceding year. Were the suine proportiun to | occur now, in a city which numbers more iwhubitants | than aligcotiand, gatherod together on 78,000 acres of ground, the result would be a bill of mortality such as | the world has uever seen. ‘hanks, however, to the | progress of civil engineering and to the greater value | now set upon human hie the death roll bes cvesed to astouish aud terrily, The tables bave, tp fact, been | turned upon the king of terrors, and now the mortalny | bill shows au aunusi balance at credit, the morease of population amounting, year by year, to about 50,000 boule, ANCIENT SCAVENGING, To traco minutely the progress of improvemest in Banitary engincering trom the time when its principles first began to dawn ou the minds of the Londoners would be « too long and somewhat tedious story, but % may he Mentioned that tt was in the year 1531 that the first “commission” was appointed which had for its aepeciul object ihe regulation of the gutters and Bewers, such as they theu were, The parishes them. | selves Were the first orgauizations fur the cleansing of | cities; but even in the time of Elizabeth the work was tov heavy fur the parochial aathorities, and the sov- | ereign bad to take the matter into his or her owa | hanes, and appointed court or city lavorites as com- migsioucrs of sewers, These gentiomen were men of more considerable inportauce, socially and politically, than their modern representatives, and scemed to be Vested with absolute control, tor the king himself Could not ciean the avenues leading tv his own palace without their auchority, and when he did was asked to pay half the cosis, For instance, the Commussion- ers of Sewers in 1663 ordered “thut the King’s Mayesty (Charles 11.) bewre vue-bull the cuurge of tue carrying away vi Lue ruubish at ihe siuice by bis suid Majesty's Dowling green ;” aud, a bundreu years ater, Kine George LiL bad to obtain the commissiocers’ teave to make @ sewer irom the queen's palace in St. Jumes?
