Consolidation of London.--The House of Commons has appointed a committee to inquire into the local government of the great British metropolis, with a view to the establishment of a municipal government over it that shall embrace the whole city. As now constituted, London embraces a number of distinct municipalities, having their separate boards of officers, including police, and separate jurisdictions, and as a natural consequence there was a good deal of friction in the operation of these independent governments. The frequent conflicts of jurisdiction, and the numerous obstacles to the execution of measures important to the public welfare, with the constant squabbling growing out of this state of things, have completely disgusted the Londoners, and now Parliament has set to work to remedy the evil.
