All kinds of street and yard offal, including the carcasses of oats. dogs, fowl, together with the most offensive garbage, is enmped close to the shell road, causing a horrible stench. Indeed, there ia such an immense quanti'y of putrefying atiimal and vegetable matter here sprea out to sun and rain as to render the neighborhood almost nnapproaohable. Persons driving along tbe shell road are nearly stilled by thi loathsome smell, as well as sickened by the disgusting sig-t forced upon them. There are famines living in the immediate vicinity who are rufieiing severely from the effeots of these unhealthy emanations.

Nearly four thousand cart loads of the sail newly made from these deposits have been, by permission of the authorities, hauled back into the city to till lots. More tban a hundred hogs are constantly rooting in the dumping groand. I would earnestly recommend the immediate selection of a location to be used as a dumping ground, unobjectionable ia a sanitary point of view, as oa First street, beyond the Claiborne canal at leapt one eqnaie.
