Up to baitpast 1 this morale', neatly forty perms' were engaged ta excavating the roads abets the sewer in Haag worttsstreet, for the purpose of snaking apertures over the spots where the bodies of the unknowns victims' of this dreadful catacrophe are supposed to be lying. The sewer at this part lies at the depth of between tea and twelve feet under the roadway, and it is not expected that they will succeed is entering the sewer before 6 o'clock this morning. That them other men are at present in the sewer hat been proved beyond a doubt, as, when the parties were diet mired—that is, when surprise was excited at their sot coming out at 6 o'clock last evening—two persona in the employ of the Sewers Connonsion, named Coristie sad Whiting, went down the trap in Kenilworth.street, they there saw the bodies of three persons. The sudden shock as seeing thelfeless bodies of their fellow workmen, and the effect of the carbonic gas quite overpowered them, and it was with difficulty they beat • retreat. Upon inquiry at the hospital it was saeertained that Mr. Welt', the surgeon, died belot• he arrived st that establish ment. The unfortunate gentleman, who was the first to ma in to endeavour to save the lives of ho fellow creatures, bed only recently established himself in the neighbourhood, sad leaves a young wife to deplore his untimely depth. The constable Walsh, who is a relative of Mr. Coen, the cieputy.governor of Tothill•Fields Bridewell, had only recently been transferred to toe B Division, and was noted in the tome for his daring and eourtoo one character. Directly he heard that parties were missing, without a moment's de lay, he rushed into the sewer, and succeeded in brulgiog out one of the sufferers; but upon going in spin. he was om powered by the gas. His body, when brought out, was per. tec'ly black. Mr. Francis Morten, the Clerk of the Sewers for the Pim lico district, arrived at the scene of the catastrophe at inc o'clock, with a large body of men in the employ of the Sewers COM/1111/011, to render any assistance tom might be necessary. He informed the reporter that three men, named respectively Thomas Joe Carpenter, John Attwood, an.' William Barton, is the employ of the Metropolitan Commis sion of Sewers, were sent down at 6 o'clock yesterday morn ing, tor the purpose of meararing the soil in the sewer, in order that it eoliths be let to contrition for rem Meg or flushing out. The permits not coming up as wee expected at has o'clock (the usual boar at which they left off), two per e,ns named Christy and Whiting, who are also is the employ of the commission, went down into the sewer, where they saw the lifeless bodies of their fellow-workmen. IMITHIUL PeIiTICIII4III. DISCOVERY OF THREE MORE BODIES. At a few minutes before four o'clock this morning the excavators succeeded in breaking through the sewer in Kenil worth street, opposite the Earl of Clarendon Tavern, at about 14 feet below the surface of the road. So foul was the gas which immediately rushed out, that it was with great dif. Scully those engaged on the works amid maintain their feet. Large parcels of straw were then procured, and ignite d over the aperture, and, after burning off the gas, several men connected with the sewers commission west down, and, atter a slight exploration, succeeded is dimoveriag the knit meu. From the potitios in which they were found it is quite evi dent that they bad scarcely been in the sewer five minutes before they were suffocated, as they ware not 60 yards from the spot where they Ant entered. The bodies were (*nerved to the surfacer, and taken to the Clarendon T , to a+ sit a coroner's inquest, which will be held on Monday. The bodies of the anfortanzte men were perfectly black, and bad swollen up to a fearul size, and it was with the greatest del- Sonny that they could be recognised even by their friends. THE RIGHT OF MAGISTRATES TO FLOG APPRENTICES. PUBLIC MEETING AT MANClina esin. A crowded and motting publio meeting was held in the Corn Ezehaege, Manseester, on Thursday evening, fee the purpose °treenail', (es the advertisemeat stand)) " their dhapprebaties of the ouzel sad unjust mum pined at the Tom hell, Sallied, upon Thom Bailey, late an ap• peewits to Keens. J. sad J. It. Worrell, dyers. This man was sentenced teens month's imprisonment with hard labour, and to be flagged, who has sines been acquitted at the Conn of Queen's Bench." Tat meting was peiscipally composed of working men, but Mr. Councillor Heywood presided, and opened the preasediegs. The decenniums whisk led to the meeting were these, Some months since the workmen of toe MOWS. Worrell, dyers, struck for higher wages, and an apprention hafted Thomas ßailey absented himself at the same lime. The than. Woerall, Wooers*, had no remedy ardent the jouneymen, but they obtained a warrant spinet the ap pretties, and at the close of last week (on Friday) the offender woe brought before Mr. H. L. Trafford (the 5ti r..6.7) and other magistrates ed Salford.. Mr. W. P. It .bens , attorney, was employed by the dyers' union to dn feud the young um, end urged that as he was bound ap propriate at the age of 17, and ww now 21 years of age, the Magnum was no longer biedirg upon him. On the other side it was urged that the apprentice, having neglected to wake his deetion at the age of 21, or on attaining his majo rity, he had forfeited the power, and could not subsequently do it. Mr Trafford (the magistrate) took the latter view , and acid teat the prisoner, having neglected to make his elecion, hod no right after committing the offence to tern round end pl. ad n than. Mr. Roberts urged that there was no offence nen., th e i n d en t ure . That document became void on we a, prentice attaining his majority, and no written cannot being made subsequently to continue the apprentice ship, the magistrate bad no power under the statute. It might be said that the prisoner was working under an im plied contract, from week to week, and that be had no right to desert and leave his employ without notion If that was so, let the magistrate punish hiss for that: ben in inch cm he could only inflict upon his the penalty for having broken • civil contract, whereas under the indenture the punishment would be • pew!. se, imprisonment with he. 1 labour. These meats were overituted—the magistrates declined even : 11 the can stand over till the judgment of a superior court could be had—and the prisoner was sentenced to one month's imprisonment with herd labour. It was discovered after the young man had gone to gaol that the commitment contained an additional clause, "and to be corrected," which his gaolers an said to have told him meant to be flogged with the at.ce-nine-tails," and that before he left the New Bailey prison they should have ago et him!" Mr. Roberts being apprised of these facts by the dyers, went to London on Saturday, found Mr. Justin Tallinn% in chambers, and obtained an habeas corpus to remove the prisoner from gaol until the legality of the sentence weld be reised. Oa Tuee :ay the argument before Mr. Jessica Tallinn' took place, and resulted in the liberation of the prisoner, who, by tLo instrumentality of the electric telegraph, was aware of the happy change in his destiny half en hour after the lean ed judge had pronounced his decision. The CHAIRMAN, having opened the meeting, called under these eirconnitasegg, /dr. JOHN TREE, teerstary to the Dyers' Union, moved the first resolution : " That this meeting deeply regrets the continued obsti nacy of the Messrs. Worrell in not having acceded to the jut sad reasonable claims of the men late in their employ for that admen of wages conceded by the other employers." Mr. TEES. gave the history of the strike, stating in effect that the wsges of the diets having been reduced through • sompelltion among masers from 235. per week to 141., the men bed been oolipelled to combine in seltdefenee, and their mushisation nd the regains :renew which they had bon skis to urge masters, bad induced the majority of dim to galvanic • h‘: rata of wakes again.

Mr. T WHEELHOUSE, in seconding the motion, showed how the Dye's' Union and Sick and Burial Society' had progressed since its ..stablighetent four years ago. He said he Wand (ha' iron 1831 to 1836 their contributions had amounted to 4.1081. 19s. 31d., that in the next year thn were 3,31 W. 17.. 6i , in Vie third year 2,9441. 10s. 64., end in the year 1837.8, 2,1441. 13s. 41d.

(Renewed cheeting.) The resolution was supported by Mr. DOHERTY, sad earned. Mr. STOREY moved— . That this meeting expenses its etroog disapprobation of the trail and unjust sentence paned soon Thomas Bailey." Ile. R. J. RICHARDSON (bookseller) seconded the motion. He said it might be right to imprison an 'Nine ties, but was it right to employ that most inhuman torture— which the laws of England, he contended, never did, and he hoped never would know or recognise—the application of the creel and inhuman torture of the lath ? (Cries of " No.") Here they were told that a young man in the prime ef lde— who, it had been acknowledged before the court, had cow ducted himself to the time of this strike in a metal, indite thous, and sober manner—merely because he had broken an engagement, a civil contract merely ; and though he had committed no really criminal act against society, was to be Bogged by the sentence of a magistrate holding the Queen's commission. But this was an ego in which men's mind re ironed from such barbarous and degrediag punishments. (Cheers.) He hoped in • Christian country those leelings would not die away: for it this fl ggiog system were ty u, k . tinued end ezen:ieed in such cases as the.,, we should c newly be fit to be chimed as equal to the Hermes and Windischgrwsee, and the blood-stained Russian sod Au. trim savages, whose cruelties to the Hungarian' bad filled all Europe with horror and indigestion, Mr. W. P. ROBERTS, the attorney, was called upon to support the resolution, and was reel ived with loud cheering. He said he bad listened to the last speaker with great plea sure, and he only hoped and trusted that the meeting fully participated in that indignation so generously expressed by him in this ease. He said, It is one of our misfortunes, and a very greet one, that the indignation some of us may feel—the done to battle with oppression—snot participated in by the working classes genteelly, hat they meet us with their apathy, and so sanction the cruelty they ought to resist. I tract that a different spirit is coming upon us. I only look for England's ea:,stion when the time shall have some that every working man looks upon an injury to his WOW bour as an injury to himself, and when they shall arise as no man to res is t oppression ' wherever it rears its head. (Cheese.) I only know it is a healthy work. (Laughter and cheers.) I nave been in it 20 yeas; and I never felt hspp:er, stronger, healthier—(loud sheen)—than I de at this moment, and never felt a beerier pleasure than I de now in meeting the oppressor, ant rasing, defying, and I eshiag him. (Great cheering.) I aoi glad to see you have welcomed this young man, Thomas Bony, to the meeting, and shown nick generous sympathy for him. I was there whi a they bad him before the ministrant. I saw him sent to gaol, and I thank you and the high heart within I have been ahle to ere him out of the " den of thieves:* (Load sheers) Now, it is jest pomible that sans of yea may think that this Begging pan of the eentwee—the w. ads in the warrant an, that he be impel weed and put to bard labour, and that he be corrected. It is possiblethat some of yea may think that this last term mews nothing. But I asked the governor of the gaol if the Priapism was to be flogged ? He said, "Yes, he will be flogged with the cat. o'-nine Oulu" and I know that these gaolers are not backward in inflicting the puniiihment. I know some of them have • relish for it ; and one of them once told me he never knew ewe a thrill of joy come over him as when he lifted the eats'-trine tails—" be liked to pitch it into them so." (Cedes of " Shame," and great sen sation.) It is a mere accident that Bailey was not flogged on fine pies into the gaol, and then our endeavoun to save him through an application to the judge would have been too late. Fortusately there is a sort of humanity about them 'wins at the New Bailey. It seems to be • part of that huitanite that they like to seed a youth or • man home to his parents or his wife with hie back lacerated, that the may foal his ignominy and share his twinge. (Renewed vise of " Shame.") You know what an awful thing this application of the lash is. Yon have seen it la the newspapers, no doubt, that • man threw himself from the mast of a ship and was dashed to pieces rather than have the at applied to his back ; and another man, a solJier, perished fear the lash at Hounalow. Mr. Roberts went on to =prunes the nesting the necessity or prenerriag their anises. . _ Tbe resolution we. serried.

MR. KEENE'S FORTY DAYS MAIZE. We inserted in our publication of Toursdaya brief antis, of the harvesting of the experimental maize crop in St. James's-park. We have sines had an opportunity of examining more closely some of the cob's', and can coosoisntiou-ly say that they are a good, substantial, and well ripened pain. We have examined one Cobb, a specimen from a similar experimental crop grown near Petersfleld, in Hampshire, which we have found equally good. We have seen letters from agri culturists who are giving the hybrid main a trial in various other districts, and all speak favourably of the promise of their crops. The hybrid or forty-days maize in St. James's park flowered a day or two later than the fort'eth day, and was harvested in a stets of perfect ripeness on the moth day after being sown. The average season for sowing this grain in Ergland is from the 30th to the 30th of May ; the average time of harvest would therefore fall in September. This year the climate and temperature have been proved adequate to bring it to rich maturity. Hu 1849 been a fair ge year? We bays certainly had a luxuriant general harvest; but it will be remem bered that in June we had a tract of unnaturally cold weather, and that we had much broken 'airy weather is the course of September, at least in the south of England, where the experiments to which we have been referring were made. As far as one year's experience can go, we may say that the adap tation of Mr. Keene's hybrid maize to an English climate has been proved. We suspect that most of what has been called Cobbett's core his by this time fallen into a state of claimed decline. This is not to be wondered at seeing that no pains were taken to select a species of maize adapted to the climate. Almost every province in the maize countries has its peculiar sort. The forty-days' maize of Mr. Keene is a hybrid between the dwarf maize grown at considerable elevations en the northern side of the Pyrenees, and the more luxu riant sorts grown on the ;lains at the foot of the mountains and at lower elevations on the range. It is characterised by b. *ring only one °ebb, by being of smaller proportions than the maize that grows on plains little elevated above the sea in more southern countries, and by flower ing and coming to maturity in shinier time. It was recommended by Mr. Keene for culti vation in England, on the ground that the tempera ture of the region in the Pyrenees, where he has for years cultivated it, does not materially differ from that of England, nor the length of the summer. As we have already observed, the experience of 1849 goes fa to confirm his expectations. More than one distinguished agriculturist has expressed the desire that maize cruld be acclimated in England. The experiment of Mr. Keene is the more important on account of the recent failures in the potato crop. On the subject of its value as an article of food we are not at present going to enter : it was largely ventilated during the Irish famine, when tracts were published and industriously disse minated to recommend maize for this purpose, and to explain the verious modes in which it may be prepared. In a pamphlet published by Mr. Keene, and which las already reached a second edition, he gives the fol lowing directions for the sowing, culture, and gather ing in of the maize : Upon a piece of ground, in good filth, open furrows with the hoe plough, like for plintieg potatoes, about 3 inches deep and 26 inches apart, that is to ray, 26 inches from the bottom of one furrow to the bottom of the other. Drop in the seed as you would that of French Want, about three inches apart; then throw over the seed in the furrow some well rotten stable manure, and finish by covering up with earth, raking ell level. Covering the seed with stable ma nure servos as a protecticn to it whilst striking its first roots. and renders the rising plant less sensitive to atmospheric change*. Oa no account let the seed be sown or dibbled into holes—it will come up with difficulty, or perhaps rot in the hole. Sowing in holes is a bad system. The right season for sowing is about the middle of May ; that is to say, your land should be ploughed ready in the beginning of May ; and so soon as you see that the cock chafer is flying in the air, you may think of putting in the seed. Do not sow before this; the earth is too cold; hat boo may sow any time within twenty days after the cot k chafer has come cut of the ground, which is the surest sign that the temperature of the earth hat Tie= to the degree favourable for receiving the seed. Sown sooner or later, the crop will, in all probability, be poor and unsuccess ful, and you wi'l find the right time will be somewhere between the 10th and 30th of May. No appear ances of fine weather can, in my opinion, justify the lowing of this seed in England before the 10th of May ; and, if you du not see the cockchafer, I will further indicate that the fl .wer buds of the apple trees in open orchards must be very lull blown before you can confide the se, a to the ground with safety. In about eight days after sowing, the plant will appear pointing through the ground, and when about ten inches high —that is to say well and strongly up—it should have is first h,eineand earthing up, exactly as you would earth up po tatoes. It two plants have come up tog.ther, root up or break off the weakest. They may no, be left till nearly three feet high, except thae,whe re they may apposite° thick, you may, day by day, as wanted, pies along each row and pull up the surplus plants till what you leave stand at ten inch. s distance ; ',tying attention to remove, in preference, thou tb .t do sot appear to be forming their seed lobe, which swells out like a kind of full pocket at the side of the stalk. Tone 'undue plena ere sweet food for your horned cattle. You will then, when they are about three feet high, give a second hoeing, earthing them up well. In garden culture, t 1 rot sow u..der shelter to transplant, nor seek to transplant from these standi^g too thick in the open ground. You cannot do it with any chine. of succ.st. Such a system is inapplicable in farming, and with this phut it is bad, even in gardening. Avoid all shade if sown in the garden—let toe plant nave the clear sun end air, es is the open fidd. Al you ere now in full summer, the crop will advance rapidly alter the second hoeing, sod about the fortieth dm y. u will find some of them jut beginning to push out the( flower stalks. Toe head of maize throws out a pretty minuet, drooping feather, and the denping of the dual of the fiswer upon ttie feather impregnate the seed head, and makes it yield its full *rale. Now as the silk dries, so se to almost crumble, ' when int the heated' the day you roll it hymn a the II ger and thumb, pats along the rows, and with a knife cut off the flower calk, at an inch OT two above the first joint over the seed teed. A* you pass along the rows cutting these tie them together in small lots of about eighteen stalks, sad then hitch them on the ma se stalk for two or three days to dry ; but hitch them so as not to shade the set d head; or, which is better if you have room, take them away to dry elsewhere ; it is excellent winter food for rattle It is of imporance not to neglect curing off the flower-stall for it w only prejudicial to the plant from the time the sap begins to dmoend, as it shads the seed Cobb, and hods moisture after rain or night dew. There now remains on the stalk the seed had and some lug leaves While these leaves begin to get a yellow colour at wher they spring from the stalks—pass along the rows and a . rip them off with a downwsrd pull, using each hand for strip , ping the leaves on each tai te of the stalks, doing both sides at sass. As you pet the two bands full of leaves, pit; them meather and make whets of them, aid hitch them on the stalk, when you leave them two or three days to dry. It is equal to best hay fur homed cattle and has a mach sweeter odour if dried in fine weather. Teem sow only remains the guise stalk with the cobb nun it ; and this mart be 1. ft standing rid it gets se riper the mese will allow. That is to say, it is now autems, but the head of corn is so well envelop. d and shel tered by the many folds of its covering *heath, that it will stand heavy rains, and many early frosts without harm, and though it neared the night dew, it will dry and ripen bard in the fine weather of the day time.

We also subjoin Mr. Keene's remark on the value I of mair.e as an element in the rotation of crops : i' It will to wen that this culture cleanses the grossed as much as the culture of the pots° ;* and that after twice earthing op, the maize stalks stand, or come out at it were from a well formed, regular, straight high ridge. At the second earths:rig up, the writer has very sucesefolly sewn turnips, having children to go along each row with • small i • cup of turnip seed in the left hand, and opening with a pointed ated stick in the right, a little furrow from stalk to stalk ' I lathe maize; then dropping along a few seed, covering it 1 1 II immediately with a dash of the stick. The turnips roes well, and did not suffer from the fly ; being on high ridges were easy to thin oat, and when the maize was gathered off, ease forward as a rapidly sueceedisg scup, rising as regular on the top of the ridges as though drilled in line. , Incarnate clover Is also sown in the mailer at the mond i euthieg, and I have rarely known it to fail. It is sown thick, breed sass, on the ridge and valley ; walking over it . I afterwards for gathering is the maize dote it to harm. It is generally ep high and strong before winner frost, and ready to out, giving a very heavy green crop by . {i the let of May following. I Cattle, however lean, fatten immediately upon this clover; but it must only be given in small quantities the first five days, augmenting the ration daily, and afterwards as much 4 as they can eat of it. Horns out of condition, fed open it whilst the crop lasts green, which is abo ut a =oath, get up their flesh rapidly, and their coats become fine and sleek as satin. As a dry food it is not in high estimation. The reason for its sucoredieg so rarely in England is, that the deuced seed only is sown, whereas • ' the writer sows it with the rough pellieule, as ;tethered. it This pellicule seems to act as a protection to the rang plant till it gets strength. The clean seed goenstinses rises u well as the rough, but it invariably drop off in strength, and very often the whole disappears as completely as though nene had bath put into the ground; wherein seed of the same growth, not cleansed, sown alongside, has re- dated the cold temperature of the soil, and turned oat yr- ow plans. Teen are thousands of scree in the South of Frown of good soil, but much less in heart than the arable lands of England, sad on which maize is grown two years following, then the maize is eueoreded by a mop of wheat; which is ' again followed by two years of maize, with crop of incarnate i clover, twines, and often flex, interealwed as I have de- r scribed ; and the ground is, and has been, fra m time imme- morial under this rotation. I have been, and am cultivating in this way myself with adventure. Employing more ma- nure, I get better crops than my neighbours. Tree rapid 1 I ' growth of maize permits this succession of corn crops-I . I I mean that it permits it without loss of season-I do not ;Je- anne to recommend the system to English farmers, who , would, no doubt, arrive at the practice et • much better rotation • I merely mention it as being does 1n my neigh- I ' brurhood. I have been borne away by the current of example I and am ea. idled. I had, last year, a crop of maize on a ' I field which has been thus cultivated past my memory, and a finer crop has never been seen on it. It had maize In the year preceding, with turnips and incarnate Cover, and wheat the year before. It is now sown in wheat, to be fel- . 1 I lowed next year in maize ! ! D I look upon it that this plant must not be regarded purely a as a corn or " white" crop. It must be looked upon as par- a taking of the nature of • green and white crop at the same , time, and perhaps as possessing more of the former action " than the latter. It is certainly a much lea exhausting crop " t 'r than wheat; for though it is acknowledged that wheat could I - not be grown two years running but at a loss, Melia gene. I rally follows maize with advantage as a preparation for wheat. , The ultimate chemical analysis of the whole plant has shown i that it draws from the soil other elements than those need- ful for the support of the wheat plant, taking out of it much 1 of wlist the letter refuses, and prepaing the soil for the re- , I- turn of the purely white crop. • If maize Can be intercalated into the English rotation, the farmer will derive great advannee, because it occupies the • ground less time than any other cereal plant, and gives b time to get rid off the land of any preceding crop which re may be lingering on it before maize sowing in the month !* May. In tact, it occupies the ground less time than the 1 . 1 ! potato. and in the same season. `" The thinning+ out from the crop, and the cuttings from Hi the stalk beads, necessary in the proper culture of tne plant, I furnish the best kind of green 100,1 for horned cattle; in- *" deed they will leave any other:for it. u. An acre will yield ail quarters of corn, and ten cwt. of L'l dry cuttings and leaf fonder. The husk furnishes a sweet eavoured elastic stu ffi ng for mattresses , or a Uugh vegetable in material for making cartridge paper, superior to that made from rags, and the sticks and cobw furnish excellent clean I E ; fuel for &slighting ; in fact, there is no part of this vale- " sole plant without its use. It. Poultry fed on =Sze acquire a higlnfl +toured flesh like he the pheasant, and obtain a preference in the market. The ut k eggs are also of superior colour and flavour. The hams are to high repute where the pigs are fed on maize. S ee To have the torn sound and wholesome for human food, it 7 should be grown in the country where it is consumed, kept 4, in the cobb, and be shelled out only as wanted to be und, l b s k or sent to the mill. Stowage on shie-board and sea voyage always injure it ; and, for these reran., agricultural socie• r Ir " ties would do well to offer premiums for the successful culti- *o vation of Ineue not less than as acre, en as to induce the ° 1 1 , 6 firmer to acquire a practical knowledge of its management ry * end value as a green and dry forage and corm trop. ith These fries are worthy the serious attention of the English agriculturist, after the recent experience tar of the potato crops, and at a time when he has just 1 nCentered upon the field of unrestricted commercial ~ competition. Mr. Keene is entitled to the warm, at or approbation for the patient research and tact for ob- rly EC: vation with which he has studied the qualitits aid 1 . characteristics of his forty dais maize, and for the L t d perseverance with which, after encountering undo- served apathy and slight, he has succeeded in gaining i e c i li the ear of intelligent agriculturists.
