The Act of Ejectment thus destroyed the hope which animated the more liberal and enlightened prelates of the Church in the seventeenth century —that the Established Church might continue to embody and represent the religious life of England. But it is impossible not to see that it has exercised a more disastrous influence on the Church than the mere loss of numbers and influence. It helped directly to destroy her spiritual freedom and power of independent action. From that day she lost all voluntary command over her own movements, and became to • disastrous extent the creature and in strument of a superior power. Her eager but short-sighted partisans two hundred years ago bartered her spiritual freedom for temporal power, and the fetters which in a moment of triumph the Church exultingly held out her hands to receive, bind her still. All the more liberal, earnest, and enlightened sections within the Establishment feel this, and desire to have these bonds relaxed. They know that the real power of the Church is weakened by these injurious restrictions. They justly feel that its power depends on the grand body of Christian doctrine, supplied by the writings of its theologians and divines, on the depth, simplicity, and spiritual power of its services and liturgy, on the exquisite beauty and solemnity of its worship, and the self-denying zeal and devotion of its ministers. All this would still remain if the severity of subscription were re laxed, and its formularies revised. And there is no reason why the true friends of the Church should not celebrate the present year, as they wished to do, by a united effort to accomplish these results, and thus remove some of the ad mitted evils which inconsiderate zeal inflicted two hundred years ago. The old leaven of intolerance, however, still meets every plea of wider compre hension by a more determined effort to retain every remnant of injurious patronage, every form of antiquated abuse, and every vestige of recog nised injustice that yet remains to weaken and deform the Church. F u N, EVERY WEEK, * ONE PENNY. Zhe erareogs. To prophesy smooth things is certainly much more pleasant in itself and much more graciously accepted than the hard discussion of adverse con tingencies, but, to speak truth, there is as yet no new element of hope in the great cotton question —there is no light descending on this now de pressed branch of trade. What has come to pass is simply what had been long foreseen, though those concerned in the trade refused or neglected to guard against it. Even now, when the weight of distress has fallen upon the population, and when some consolation might be sought in the old adage that " when things are at the worst " they must mend," the journalist who wishes his remarks to be palatable had better turn to some other topic than that of cotton. The only clam who thrive are the speculators. Those who have had the nerve to gamble in cotton and its manufactured products have made immense profits. Speculative shippers of goods to Indian and other foreign markets have been marvellously favoured by fortune.—even beyond their deserts. At home it is only legitimate business that does not thrive, while those spinners and manufacturers who have departed from the strict sphere of their vocation, and have turned speculators, have realised gains so large that we would fain hope the pressing claims of charity at this season will meet with a proportionate response. It would be folly to shut our eyes to the fact that the prospects of employ ment in the cotton districts are at present worse than they have been at any previous period. The distress is as yet only beginning ; whether it has reached its climax may be seriously questioned. We would request the attention of our readers to • few salient facts which will best inform them of the position of this vast interest. In the first place, there is now scarcely any cotton at all in first hands in Liverpool, the great mart for the raw material. The total held is only 82,420 bales, whereas at this date Lest year it was 912,130 bales. The speculative excitement in the market last week was moat extraordinary. The transactions have reached between 110,000 and 120,000 bales, representing perhaps • value of about two millions sterling. The mar ket reports testify that the week's advance in the prices of some descriptions is to an extent not witnessed since the year 1825, and the force with which this movement will operate may be inferred from the fact that it comes in addition to a con tinuous rise of so many months' duration. This new advance will be the signal for a further I ' enrtailment of employment over whole dis tricts. The supply of American cotton is rapidly becoming extinguished, and these sorts have consequently risen during the past week no less than 4d. to sd. per lb. For the future, Ameri can cotton, as being quite a " fancy" article, will command a "fancy" price—indeed, just such a price as the limited number of holders may choose I to demand for it. Accordingly an interesting revo lution is taking place in the manufacture. American cotton passes out of consumption, and the small quantity remaining will be husbanded and used only in those fine articles which are worn by the wealthier classes of society. The cotton of Surat—the description now chiefly entering into consumption—cannot be worked into the finer sorts of yarns and goods ; before it will become available for them its quality must be greatly im proved. It is very suitable, however, to coarse fabrics, and with coarse fabrics we must be con tent until such time as America sends her produce here again, or the cotton of other countries im proves in quality as well as increases in quantity. To gain • just idea of the course of prices of the raw material, we have only to compare the present quotations in the Liverpool market with I those current at former periods. Middling New Orleans is now worth 230. per lb. ; at this date last year, although the market was then disturbed, it commanded only 81d. Middling Surat, which last year was at 5t,d., is now worth about 14d., while middling Egyptian has risen in the interval from 81d. to 20}d., and middling Pernambuco from 9d. to 22}d. Carrying the comparison farther back, we find that the price of fair Upland, now at about 240. per lb., and which at this time last year was 9d., was only 6P. in August, 1860, 7,P. to 7id. in 1858 and 1859, and did not exceed 81d. in August, 1857, amid all the speculation in produoewhich preceded the commercial crisis of that year. It is another note-worthy feature that the prices of yarns and goods have not risen by any means in pro portion to the advance in the raw material. The discrepancy has hitherto tended to pre cipitate the closing of the mills, owing to the unremunerative prices which were offered to spinners and manufacturers, and now that so many mills have been closed, with little prospect of the owners taking courage in the pre sent sdais of the trade to re-open them, specula tion ifepa in, and sees occasion fori running up the prices of goods to a point more in accordance with the price of cotton. This is but another illustration of the abnormal condition of the trade, of the premiums and fine openings offered to spe• culation and gambling, and of the way in which legitimate traders " get cut to pieces" (as the phrase is) in the conflict. It seems highly probable that henceforward, I and more particularly after a few scores of addi tional factories shall have been shut up, and the workpeople thrown upon the poor rates, the articles produced from cotton will attract specula tive attention in even a larger degree than the raw material itself. Cotton has had its run and has outstripped the manufactured fabric ; the turn of the latter may now come. The wild excitement reported by the past week's despatches as pre vailing at Bombay, where all sorts of imported cotton goods have experienced an enormous rise, indicates what may occur in this direction. After overstocking the markets of the world in the must reckless manner, our shippers find the venture succeed beyond their most sanguine expectations. We believe that the stream of capital which is flowing back from the gradual realization of these old enormous consign ments has much to do with the favourable ten dency of the foreign exchanges, while the enforced retention here of the many millions sterling which we usually send abroad in payment for cotton further explains the remarkable ease in the money market. LAT r.toT l • TELIAUENUIL (D49 , pa's rusozANß.) DECLARATION OF THE "MONITEUR" ON We have shown how small is the present stock of cotton, and, looking to the immediate future, the prospect is gloomy in the extreme. Chief re liance is placed upon the supply of Surat sorts, but it is not by any means encouraging to find that the total quantity from this source now afloat and on the way to England is only 90,000 bales more than it was at this time last year, being 390,000 bales, against 300,000 in 1861. From no other source can the deficiency now indi cated be made up, save with time. THE ROMAN QUESTION. PARIS, Auouerr 25. The Moniker of this morning say; :-"Several newspapers have asked what will be the attitude of the Freuoh government in view of the agitation which now prevails in Italy. The question is so clear, that any doubt seems impossible. In view of insolent threats, and the possible consequences of a demagogic insurrection, the duty of the French government and its military honour oblige it more than ever to defend the Holy Father. The world must be well aware that France does not abandon those to whom, when in danger, she extends her protection." After a glance at the revolution of 'B9 and the saturnalia of '93 (France having failed to take the warning given to it by the previous revolution of England), the barricades of 1830, and the days of June in 1848, " a melancholy necessity," it counsels the Italian government to persist in its energetic reso lutions, and "in the name of true patriotism to reduce to inaction that incorrigible party which would govern by perpetual insurrection, and be a power within a power ; the party of which Mazzini is the chief, and of which Garibaldi, unhappily for his fame, has consented to become the instrument." Then comes the bouquet of the article. "For let it be well understood, it is not the possession of Rome, it is not even the possession of Venice, which will restore calm and peace to Italy. Is it not well known whither tends the ambition of the Coryphei of Mazzinism, and must not they be credulous indeed who suppose this party will be satisfied with Rome and Venice, and renounce the triumph of their insensate theories 1 It is quite evident to all who know the history of political parties that, in possession of Rome and Venice, their pretensions will but increase." We may expect to see a succession of such articles in the semi-official papers, all having for their aim to counsel more or less dis guisedly the " Decemberising" of Southern Italy. What is to be done with this glorious portion of the Peninsula, when it shall have been "Deoemberised" —whether it is to be Murstised, or Jeromised, or simply " annexed," may possibly also be dimly shadowed forth in the course of these articles to those who read between the lines. The Opinion Nationale has already taken the alarm, as we learn in an article in yesterday's number, from the pen of M. Gueroult, on the subject of Italy and the new journal La Prance. The following extract is suffi ciently significant, being, as it is, a voice from the Palais Royal : To suppose that La Franey speaks seriously, and that it believes a single word which it says, is to attribute to that journal a simplicity it certainly has not. There are many people who think La France not a bit less semi official than the Constitutionnel, only that the two do not hang on the rme side. The patrons and inspirer, of La France are named in whispers ; but we shall keep a discreet silence thereon. As to its policy, that is not so very simple as may be thought. It does not look for the Pope's conversion to He liberal programme, neither does it expect, as far as can be judged from ita words, to reconcile by means unknown, uncomprehended, and in• comprehensible, the temporal power and the unity of Italy. It well knows that is a political absurdity ; so it does not be lieve in it any more than we do. Neither does it admire the government of cardinals any more than we do ; nor has it the least faith in the endurance of this thing without a name. All the noise it makes in favour of religion, of the Holy Father, of the two hundred millions of catho lic', is but a sign -board. But behind this sign board is some merchandise of a far more serious charac ter. This merchandise we beg leave to unpack. La France has not accepted Italian unity. The French irovernment acknowledges the Bing of Italy, but the journal La France does not. It wishes the annexation had not taken place. ! It regrets that Mews. de Reixel and Poniatowaki did not succeed in preventing the annexation of Tuscany ; it regrets that Grxibaldi was not taken and hanged before he got to Marsala,; it regrets that Francis 11. was unable to hold Gaet►, where it protected him with all its good wishes ; it rejoiced when be went to Rome; at one time it hoped much from brigandage, and upon the misdeeds of which it closed its eyes. While M. de Lavalette sought in vain to lead the Pope's mind in a liberal direction, it rejoiced that M. de Guyon held an opposite language. Lastly, it now stands up against the Constitutionnei and treats it as revolutionary. When intelligent men per. slat in repeating nonsense, one must resign oneself to seek their meaning behind their language. So long, then, as La France obstinately insists upon the French occupation of Rome, we must admit that there is a double bottom in the business, and endeavour to examine into it. La Prance, then, hopes (may the event prove it is in the wrong !) that in persisting in the Roman occupation against all right and reason we shall wear out the patience of the Italians. Either we shall throw them into civil war, or we shall unite them against us by a feeling of common irritation. Then a cry of ingratitude will be raised, the defiance which they fling down will be taken up, Italy will be crashed, a second and perfected edition of 1849 will be repeated, and out of the fragments of unity a confederation will be formed, of which Austria will hold one end by Venice, and we the other by Naples. La Frame (we mean the journal) will triumph, sad fools who, like us, have believed in a disinterested policy in the creation of a great kingdom, the birth of which should put an end to the secular rivalry of France and Austria—such fools, we say, will be confounded. But, it will be said, all this is an intrigue—it is foul treachery—it is the disavowal of our official policy, of the acknow ledgment of the kingdom of Italy. We do not deny all thin. On the contrary, we say it is an intrigue. But who knows whether such en intrigue is not now on the point of succeeding? Ouly let the hour of difficulties and complications arrive, and it will be seen what this intrigue will weigh in the destinies of France. It is a/I very well for the Conaritutionnel to disavow. Who can assure us that the affirmations of La Prance are not worth as much as the denials of the C,,netitationnel l In the presence of this quarrel, where the future and the honour of the country are engaged, we look for a word in the Moniteur, but the .Voniteur is silent. " L'Arche-sainte est muette et ne rend plus d'oraclea." It seems that henceforth the word is with events. Let us wait. The departure of the King of Italy for Naples is generally looked upon with satisfaction here. The confusion of accounts renders it difficult to ascertain the immediate intentions of Garibaldi ; but one thing is evident: that is, that while Victor Em manuel is in his own city of Naples there is no great fear of his magnanimous ally making a move thither in the cause of "order." We have a repetition of the famous Roman tele- gram given in Bid/ices Correepowlemee, which will, no doubt, have reached you. M. Gueroult simply observes upon it: " What thinks the Con etitutionnel of this 1" I perceive that • private correspondence from Rome, in the Temps, alludes to such an interview as having taken place on Monday last, between the Pope and MM. Lavalette and Montebello. The writer says all Rome is asking what took place, and that it is generally supposed the ambassador &s -auna' the Pope of a present, and not an absolute and indefinite, protection of the states of the church against invasion. Prior to Prince Alfred's excursion to the eolith, the Emperor Alexander accompanied him in visit. to the fortress of Crenated; the docks, and the naval hospitaL When his Majesty paned the English squadron, ha was saluted by all the vessels, and the Huainan frig►te Gromoboi returned the salute, all the Russian vessels at the same time hoisting the English flag. His Majesty went oil board the English vessel, St. George. The Emperor and the Prince afterwards prooseded to the Menchikoff and Oranienbaum port The Russian sailors give flta daily to the crews of the English vessels. The muse of M. Horace Vernet's illness is said to be the following :--.9onie years ago he fell from his horse and broke a rib, which was badly set, and a fresh fall which he had a few weeks ago broke the stone rib, and brought on ► painful ►nd alarming tumour. Dr. Jobert de Lam belle was obliged to perform an operation, which appssra to have sucoeeded, and has led to an improvement.

HIGli MATIIII AT LONDON bIIDEM. TRIP DAY Mmmins. fh- Om.....AMeromm, Oh. Urn. Taitoasor—llondag, 20. 60m. LONDON, MONDAY, AUGUST 25. Sr. BAZTHOLCIIIM'S Day two hundred years ago marked an important crisis in the history, and especially the religious history of England, and the bicentenary of the day has been celebrated in a characteristically English manner. On the 24th of August, 1662, the day on which the Act of Uniformity came into operation, two thousand clergymen voluntarily abandoned their livings rather than stain their consciences by compliance with its designedly severe conditions. The day falls this year, aa it did two hundred years ago, on a Sunday, and the Nonconformists throughout the country accordingly determined that, in connexion with other forms of celebration,their services yester day should have • special bearing on this great and critical event in their history. From their various pulpits the Protestant Dissenters of the kingdom were yesterday reminded of the sufferings and patience of these early confessors, and exhorted to admire and imitate their unfaltering fidelity to conscience, and supreme devotion to what they held to be the truth. It is not only avery natural, but, as we have said, a thoroughly English pro ceeding, for those who are historically connected with these expelled ministers to commemorate in their own way the completed centuries of their eject ment. Our whole national life, social, political, and religious, has an historical basis, and amidst the eager conflicts of the present, every sect and party is more or less influenced by the example and authority of the past. In the discussion of public questions the unfettered exercise of reason is com bined with an enlightened respect for experience, the connexion being carefully traced between new principles or what appear to be so, and those which have been already accepted as rules of action. This historical element,this living hold on the past, is a moral force of enormous power, and it is not surprising, therefore, that every party in turn should seize on the opportunities most favourable for turning it to full account. The two hundredth anniversary of an event so important in itself and in its results as the eject ment of these two thousand ministers could hardly be passed over in silence. Such a noble instance of self-denying sincerity deserves commemoration. The more liberal opponents of the ejected ministers accorded for their conduct at the time " the " price which is due to heroic virtue in an enemy," and their act is, in its motives at least, one on which Englishmen at large may look back with legitimate pride. But the consequences of the event have invested it with peculiar value and importance. These results have been of the most various, extensive, and permanent kind. The Act of Uniformity was, indeed, passed in • moment of violent reaction, and its more vexatious and op pressive provisions breathed the violent passions and vindictive spirit of the hour. It was a measure of severe retaliation, but its momentary success, under all the circumstances of the case, can hardly excite surprise. It was violent and tyrannical, And avowedly directed against the Presbyterian party in the Church. But it was passed at a time when the principles of toleration were very imper fectly understood, when the practice of it was almost unknown, and by • victorious party in the flush of sudden and overwhelming success. Unfor tunately, however, this sweeping measure survived the passions of the hour, and was permanent in its effects, and those effects have been quite as injurious to the victors as to the vanquished. The blow dealt by the triumphant Church in the moment of victory, while telling at once with full effect on the enemy, recoiled in the end with even greater force on herself. In driving out a large body of able and conscientious divines the extreme party divided the religions life of England. By that fatal act they exaggerated the differences between themselves and their opponents, ex cluded all hope of compromise or recon ciliation, created a large body of high-minded Nonconformists, and threw them wholly on the people for support. What was the result ? Being thus thrown on the people, the I ejected ministers voluntarily adopted the Con gregational form of Church government. Up to this time great numbers of them had no rooted objection to Episcopacy. No special form of go vernment was of Divine authority in their eyes, the machinery of the Church being regarded as • question of fitness to time and place, and the adaptation of means to ends. Hence forth, however, in the eyes of • large sec tion of Englishmen Episcopacy was identi fied with tyranny and oppression, and a rival form of Church government began to pre vail. The same effect was produced in relation to the voluntary principle. The ejected clergy were not opposed to a connexion with the State so long as it was not incompatible with their Christian integrity and spiritual freedom. By this act of violence that expelled them they were, how ever, led to rely wholly on the voluntary principle, and the result has proved fatal to the exclusive pretensions which inspired the Act of Uniformity. Since that measure was passed the new principle it quickened into life has won its way amongst the people, covered the land with places of worship, and produced • body of ministers of various denomination& almost equal in numbers and superior in circumstances to the ebt Court.

ITALY AND GARIBALDI. The following is the full text of the report ad dressed to his Majesty the King of Italy by his ministers, requesting him to place Sicily in a state of siege, a telegraphic summary of which has already appeared : Sire,—General Garibaldi, forgetful of hi duties as a citizen, has raised the standard of revolt in Sicily. Your name and that of Italy appear again upon that standard to mislead the simple, but only to serve to veil the intentions of European demagogy, to the service of which he seems now to have lent his sword and his fame. The cry of " ROlllB or Death!" and the insane insults against your glorious ally, hailed only with applause by the enemies of liberty and of the unity of Italy, becomo on his lips the cause which chiefly delays the moment when, according to the wish solemnly expressed by the national parliament, the seat of the Italian government shall be established in the Eternal City. Obstinately deaf to the voice of duty, be has not been moved by the idea of creating civil war in his country ; your voice, which he once respected, has now no effect upon him. More energetic action has now become necessary. The representatives of the government in Sicily, not easily forgetting the services rendered by the General, out of respect for the feeling of the country towards him, and especially in consideration of the particular benevolence with which your Majesty has honoured him, hive acted towards him with a tolerance which, under other circum• stances, would have been blameable. The means of ordinary repression which sufficed to prevent the attempts which, on a previous occasion, at the foot of the Tyrolean Alps, threatened the safety and the peace of Italy, are to-day powerless in producing the same results. Now that all hopes of his contrition are over, and that rebellion has been openly declared, the government would be wanting to the King's confidence and to that ma nifested to it by the parliament in its recent votes if it did not propose to yoar Majesty to suppress your own feelings sod to adopt all the mesas with which, in virtue of the laws and from the very foroe of circumstances, the royal authority is provided, to suppress on every point this audacious revolt, and to re-establish the empire of the law trodden under foot and outraged throughout the whole island. The question in point, sire, is to shield the principles pro claimed in the plebiscites against every enemy, to assure the unity of the kingdom, and to leave open to Italy the path to which her high destinies call her. It would be culpable to hesitate to act in presence of such circumstances ; it is the imperious duty of your minis ten not to decline their mission, and to provide for even. tualities. The imminent danger and the character of the misfortunes which threaten the country render legitimate the measures which we submit for your approval. By raising a standard in opposition to your Sag, by arming citizens against the faithful troops of your Majesty General Garibaldi has placed himself beyond the pale of the law ; those who follow him have placed themselves in open hos tility with the state; it is, therefore, neoessary to treat the country which they occupy as a country occupied or menaced by an enemy. This is why, sire, we propose to yon to place the island of Sicily in a state of siege during the whole time that the rebellion shall last, and until order shall be oom• pletely restored. Your Council of Ministers frankly assume the responsi bility of these exceptional measures, because they com prise the safest means of most promptly re-establishing the rule of law and liberty in the insurgent provinces, as also of putting an end to the terrible anxieties caused by the dangers and fears of civil war. They will, moreover, contribute, airs, to protect the representative monarchy which we have all sworn to uphold, acid to obviate a most serious obstacle to the accomplishment of Italian unity, and to resolve all the elements of Italian glory and prosperity.

Although myself an Italianissimo, as the saying is, and a firm believer in the ultimate success of the great cause of Italian unity, I am bound to record the reappearance of certain symptoms, which speak unmistakeably to those accustomed to read the fluctuations of tie Paris press as those of a political barometer, and which have an ominous character in the eyes of the leas sanguine friends of Italy. I note, then, the revival of a manifest ten dency among the semi-official journals, after the fashion of the clerico-legitimiat organs, to gene ralise the situation arising out of the Garibaldian movement—that is to say, to treat the subject as if Garibaldi, instead of being, as he is, the single minded champion of Italian unity and the friend of Victor Emmanuel, were the apostle of Maz zinisru and subversive revolution, and the foe of monarchical institutions all over the world. The object of this, in the eyes of these alarmed friends of Italy, is evident. They say if Napoleon 111. can be made to believe, or can make others believe, that the present state of Southern Italy has • tendency to unchain the revolution, and let loose that element among the populations of Europe, where the materials for its propagation are already so abundant, he, as the self-constituted chief constable of Europe, will have formed a plausible excuse for setting at defiance the non-intervention principle, which he will only too readily seize. Himself the very incarnation of the revolutionary principle— this elected of the million—is, they say, already watching the opportunity to put down the first germ of revolution in • neighbouring country, in the interest of IGuropean order. Briefly, he is pre ' paring, if necessary, to meet Garibaldi at the head of 90,000 Dieu at Naples. TheComstitationssel, after fight ing with and slaying the France, and finally dancing its war dance over the body of its foe, hastens to retreat from the too advanced position it had, to answer a momentary purpose, taken up. Gari baldi's appearance on the scene, it declares, as the agent of Mazzini is a fact by no means new in history. On the contrary. "On the morrow of I all social and political movements which give birth to a new order of things, wise men and moderate patriots, they, in a word, who are able to organise and to establish, find themselves in presence of factious impatient and in love with the impossible, to whom it is necessary to reply by the audacity of good, because they have the audacity of evil" M. ROBINS SOIRENS PAATASTIVUES. Not the least interesting of the many entertain. meats before the London public is that now being given at the Egyptian-ball, by the well-known French wizard, M. Robin. The dexterous sleight-of-band tricks performed with cards, coin, rings, pocket-handkerchiefs, and other mis cellaneous articles borrowed from the audience, by this accomplished professor of the art of magic—to say nothing of the feats accomplished by several automaton figures at the word of command—would alone be sufficient to repay a visit to one of M. Robin's spirits. The "magical illusions," however, are followed by some curious and instructise elec. triad experimenta by means of a monster induction coil, the power of which is so great that by its meant a piece of glass, upwards of an inch in thickness, is ir.stantanoouly pierced by the electric current in the presence of the spectators, and but for the attendantdanger, the same effect could, it is said, be produced upon a piece three inches in thickness. The powers of electricity are certainly not yet exhausted, for M. Robin shows that by it. agency the trade of the lamplighter is in a fair way of being interfered with, if not superseded. By connecting two gas chandeliers, one at each aide of the stage, with the induction coil, some eight or ten feet distant (the distance, however, being an imma. terial point where the electric current is concerned), all the burners are instantaneously lighted by the electric spark. A mimic thunderstorm is vividly pourtrayed, a n d it. causes brought home to the meanest capacity by the same wonderful and mysterious agent, amidst the applause of the audience. The other experiments in this part of the entertainment are of a varied and astonishing cha racter, and its introduction may be pronounced u a decided MOON. On Saturday evening, however, an entirely new feature was added to the many other attractions. For the first time the " History of the Creation of the World" was gives, consisting of • lecture accompanied by a series of geological illustrations by means of the " Agioscope," sh oe . ing the different changes our planet has undergone from its origin to the creation of our first parents. The audience on Saturday was • crowded and attentive one. NOXIOUS VAPOURS. The report of the Lords' committee appointed to inquire into the injury resulting from noxious vapours evolved in certain manufacturing processes has been pub. Halted this morning. The following is the most important portion of it : " The committee think that it would be most desirable that the laws respecting nuisances generally should be coa -1 solidated and made uniform throughout the country ; but whether this be practicable or not, there are certain points on which amendment appears to them to be urgently re quired. They recommend that the provision of the Smoke Prevention Act respecting offensive trades should be made of universal application ; that gases evolved in manufactur. ing processes from furnace' or chimneys should be placed on the same footing as smoke from furnaces ; that f ull effect should be given to the 23 and 24 Vict., c. 77, s. 13 ; that medical inspectors, when appointed, should have the right of free access to all works productive of noxious vapours at all hours when such works are in operation ; that the power on the part of the defendant, of demurring to the jurisdiction of the magistrate, should be abolished, and if any appeal be allowed to the superior courts, they would be inclined to restrict it to came in which the magistrate should certify that they involved questions of law fitting to be there bawd and decided. While, however, the committee think that the alterations they have suggested will be found adequate for the more ordinary nuisances, yet, looking to the very serious injure caused by alkali and other chemical works of • like description, to the great extent of those trades, and to the proved and admitted preventibility of a•y nuisance by proper precautions, they concur with the manufacturers engaged in those trades, that they ought to be dealt with by special legislation. They do not hesitate to exprem their opinion that the legis lature should not attempt to prescribe the specific process by which the nuisance should be prevented, but that • sub. atantial penalty should attach to the escape of gas or va pour during the proems of manufacture ; that any person should be at liberty to sue for such penalty ; and that It should be recoverable at quarter sessions, without appeal to the superior courts, except in cases in which the magistrate should certify that they involved questions of law fitting to be there heard and decided. Bat the committee feel bound to record their opinion, that, for the effectual suppression of this nuisance, it will be neon wiry that inspectors, properly qualified, should be appointed, who should at all Cams have free acacia to the works, with or without notice, so far as may be nommary for ascertaining that nuisance is effectually prevented, and who should be officially charged with the duty of e•fore. ing the law ; and, without desiring to imply ►ny suspicion of the local authorities, they concur in the opinion, ex. premed by more than one witness, that such inspectors, by whomsoever appointed and paid, should be wholly inde pendent of all local control, and removed as far ea mead* from all local influence. The committee have resale to believe that, in framing a measure on them principles, her Majesty's government will have the cheerful co-opera. tion of all the moat respectable manufacturers engaged fa the trades affected by it."
