Wo are glad to notice the great improvement which beon effected in our neighhomhood, by the acti- vity of Capt. Haly, of the 41st Regt. M. N. I., in having had all the drains in the Upper Bazaar cle- ansed; the residents are now relieved from the hor- rid and noxious odour which formerly greeted their olfactories when passing along the Queen's Road. near our locality. Great praise is due to Capt. Haly for the diligent manner he has attended to the purity. ing of the Bazar.

A most important and beneficial regulation has been established by him, viz draining the water at the head of the Bazaar and letting it rush through the drains morning, and evening, so as to carry the filth into the sea.

enre sorry to say that there is a probability of our soon losing the services of Capt. Haly, for we understand his Regt. is ordered to India, wo regret this the more, as we feel confi- dent, judging from the active steps he took for clean- ? sing the town, the sanatory regulations, about being put in force, would have been efficiently carried into operation under his direction.
