SEWERAGE OF THE CITY.-The Mayor has sent a
message TO the Common Council, directing their at
tention to the state of the sewers We do not know
any subject connected with the affairs of this metro
polls, which so much demands the attention of the
civic authorities and the community as the sewerage
OF the city. One of the very first things which dsa-
greeaby attracts the notice OF intelligent travel
ler on arriving in New York, is the filthy condition
of the streets, arising not only from the miserable
pavements and negligence of the scavengers, but
also from the total absence of proper system OF
sewerage Even in Broadway, the principal tho
roughfare, deep open cutters line the street on each
sde and at almost every corner up town the passage
of vehicles is rendered a work of no little difficulty
and hazard, in consequence of the broad deep gull
lies which interrupt their progress. But the wreched
condition Of the city in this respect is known to
every body. And yet, year after year, whilst the
city has gone on increasing and increasing the evil
has been allowed to continue and grow.


Now that the Croton water has been introduced,
and such abundant means of making good system
ofsewerage perfectly successful, we trust that the
subject will be taken up with prompttude and vgor
The cleanliness, and course the health of the city
dependent, in great degree, on the construction
of properly constructed sewers in all the streets, and
the matter should not be any longer neglected
