We have repeatedly pointed out the ne cessity of a close inspection of the Chinese quarters of the city being instituted; and con: tinued throughout the whole year, in order that the town may be kept as sweet and clean as possible and so that filth diseases may not have such opportunities of obtaining a 'hold, upon the place as they at present enjoy, But gar Sanitary Authorities appear to place implicit faith in the maxim sufficient for the day is the evil thereof, and so long as no epidemic exists, mp steps are taken to guard against one. Our Janes and alleys are allowell to degenerate into su many rubbish bins and spools, and as long as they are sufficiently removed from the main thorough fares of the place as to escape the observation of the European public matters are allowed to take their own course.
