There hardly happens a single marker day but people are driven into my shop by alarm. I have lived on Ludgate.hill 46 years, and consiOer Smithfield Mat ket a guest nuisance. Mr. Bumpas, bookseller, Skinner -street, says—The: general feeling is, that the market is a great nuisance; and the wish is, that the Market should be removed. Robert Padmoi e, shopman to Mr:Marriott, cm nee of, the Old Bliley, furnishing ironmonger, says—On Mon day last we had One beast put his head through the winckw ; we are obliged to have a person at the door to. keep them off; and last Monday week we had a sheep ; got into the shop and fell down the cellar staits into the cellar amongst the workmen. f think fewer customers, come to the shop on Monday ; the Ladies would not, ,come to the shop if there was a crowd of bullocks; they would not come into the shop to do business. The re moval of S nithfield Market would be a great conve nience to business ; my master would do greater bisiness. Mr. Hickson, whl has for maingy sears kept .a shoe warehouse in Smithfield, ,desctibea the nuisance if the market, and says—There is not sufficient space for the btssiness•condocted there; that it is highly inconsistent with the tights of humanity and the interests of the public, the grazier, and the butcher; the noise and con fusion that take place about that time are indescribable and the cruelty practised on the cattle in beating them; into tines no person can believe unless they have seen it. The Committee conclude these ezuacts from evidence relative to the nuisance of Smithfield Market by quoting tile words of the City Remembrancer, who. in referring to the ezerti ms made by the Citt 0'044 to enlarge or remove the - market, says—The complaints made in respect to the market certainly induced the Corporation , to do every thing in their power for the purpose Of re moving what w is really considered to bean abominable nuisance. in lavour of which no satisfactory testicnorty hes been s aJduced. t.

The following is the Report of the Committee ap pointed to inquire into the siate.of Smithfield_ Market, and,theSlaughtetinguf Cattle in the Meti op .lis, Ike., The Committee presented a Report on the Bth inst. tecommeeding, Irefrise they had ,concluded their ioqoi ties. that leave should be given to bring in a. Bill for enabling the Corporation of the City of IlAndon to pre 'vent the passing of carts, waggons,,drays.ao4 carriages. through . Saiithlield, dur i ino so may bouts as- they Oat think fit on Mondayi,ond Fridays ;,but.as such intended Bill was aturideteCto be within the Standing Orders of the Rouse relative to Private Bite, it has been nem wily abaudonedlor .the present rSeisiou t Toe Com mittee have now completed their inquiries, and, having examined many witnesses in support end . t in refutation of tbe.allegation of the petitions referred to them, take leave to repo. t theit Ow rations theteopoe to theliouse. That the passing of live stink-toad from Smithfield -isa nuisance to the inhabitants of the neighb o u r ho o d, and4o.the public at large,- and that the present.size and arrangement of the market does, not afford sufficient accommoihitioo for, the livestock therein offertd for sale, are propositions which the Committee are prepared to maintain. Although these propositions may be con sidered as aelf..evident„ yet the Committee trust they shall be permitted to call the attention of the House, in support thereof, to the testimony of the following wit nesrest—Mr. Gurney .says, I have thought much on the subject, and frequently it has appeared to me to be, with the increasing extent of the metropolis, a great and increasing nuisance to have such a very importaot mar ket as SMithfield is now become in the centre of the metropolis. We all know when it was first adopted as a market it was without the City ; but the City having entirely grown beyond it, tl;e outside has become the centre; and it does appear to me, as I think it must to any body who walks through London streets, especially 1 on a Monday, to be a very great nuisance. I think it must be evident to any body who goes into Smithfield market, that however suitable it might have been for the purpose originally, it has grown beyond it, both geographically, and also in the size of it; and that which was the most suitable place originally has become exceedingly unsuitable and a great public nuisance. I "am clearly of opinion that the space of Smithfield is ex-' ceedingly inadequate so the purpose, and that the evils are very much aggravated by the want of space, both as to cruelty to the beasts, and confusion in the arrange tient. . D. Gordon, in his evidence, sars--At eleven o'clock at night large bodies of cattle come in from Islington on the west side 'of Finsbury-square; and large droves also from Essex come up Sun -street; and from eleven to four o'clock in the morning there is one uninterrupted. scene of noise and confusion, which is greatly aggra vated by the exclamations of the drovers endeavouring to keep tlie cattle in order; coming from the narrow streets, of course they scatter, and the cries of the cattle and the screams of the drovers are so great, that it is a well• know fact that any individual coming from the country, is unable to sleep for several nights; it begins on Sunday night at eleven, and ceases at lour in the morning. It is perhaps well known to every body that Monday is a great day of business in the City ; there is a greater influx of individuals in the City on that day, and it is precisely on that morning that the large droves of cattle are driving backward and for wards; and as a physcian I can speak with certainty to the point, that on Monday the City is almost ion. passable from the cattle; it adds greatly to the inter 'option we meet with in the City. Most deciJedly I consider that the continuation of the cattle market at Smithfield is a nuisance to the City. Mr. Dorton, an eminent stationer, informed the Com mittee that he had noticed fur a number of years chat the citizens have been put to inconvenience by cattle going through such a great city as this—we might as well have the market where it would not annoy tne clizens. . Mr. Win. Clay, a woollen•draper in Smithfield, says, Smithfield Market appears to use much too small for the present business done there, and a considerable deal of cruelty is consequent upon such a crowded market ; when the markets are very huge, the cruelty consequent upon having such a number of beasts is very west. Mr. Sparrow, te.o.fealer and winequer:baut o Lad- In providing a remedy for the inconveniences com plained of and proved to exist, three plans have been submitted to the consideration of the Committee— firstly, to remove altogether the present market; 2d17, to enlarge it by the purchase of additional ground, ac compsnying that measure with authority to stop during market days the thor ughfare through the market; and thirdly, to permit S nithfield to remain in its present state, and to e.t .blish one or more subsidiary markets. THE REMOVAL OF THE MARKET. That tl e site of a Live Stock Market in a thickly inhabited part of the metropolis is highly objectionable the Committee cannot reasonably doubt, and not only has the attention of Parliament been frequently directed to the complaints of those. who have been aggrieved thereby, but twice Bills have been introduced under the sanct.on of the Corporation of London, authorising the removal of Smithfield Market ; and the Committee have every re ison to believe, from the examination of the City Law Officers, and of Mr. Jones, a Member of the Com mittee of City Lands, that every fseility would be given by the Corporation to any measure which Parliament might think fit to adopt for the accommodation of the public. Mr. Mills, in his evidence, advises the estati: lishment of two markets—one at iiirghgate, and the second in Battersea fields. Mr.,Hebb proposes , as the most convenient site, a spot of ground near Bagnigge Wells; and the premises of Mr. Laycock at Islington,' which have been visited with much satisfaction by se veral Members of the Committee, have likewise been, recommended Its the best substitute for Smithfield. A strong feeling exists among all' the practical. men whom the Committee have examined, that one large market is to be preferred, as giving to the purchasers a greater choice of cattle of different descriptions, and affording to the seller a more ceitain.demand. Considerable stress .has been laid by Mr. Pocklington on the necessity of communicating by post on Monday evening with the graziers in the country, and of the advantage arising from a frequent exchange of cheques on bankers; but the Committee, cannot but hope that arrangements might easily be made by which those objections to the removal of the market might be obviated. The distribution of live stock to this great metropolis and its vicinity having for so many centuries taken place at Smithfield, the Committee are aware that the interests, habits, and perhaps the prejudices of those concerned in the trade, render the removal of the market no easy task; and it must be admitted that innkeepers and other persons in Smithfield, whose business is intimately con. netted with the existence of a live stock market, would, in the event of such removal, have strong claims for the full consideration of their respective interests. The Committee proceed to consider the second alternative; THE ENLARGEMENT OF THE MARKET. All the witnesses who have been examined concur in stating that considerable increase to the area of the market is required. Mr. Helps thinks an acre and a half, bat other witnesses have reduced* as low as half, an acre. On behalf of the Committee of Butch ers , M r . Dean produced a plan by which about half an acre of ground might be kidded, removing about sixty houses, at aril expense, including all. the attendant improvements, .of about 110 or If:0,000/. Mr., Galloway produced also a plan, by which one acre of ground might be added to the market, and three acres appropriated to a great slaughter-house, and_ he did not estimate the ex pense of procuring the whole of this ground at more than 75,0001. Mr. Bush produced a third plan, recom mended by the Company of Butchers, by which fewer houses would be removed and le,s expense incurred.— None, however, of these witnesses had sufficiently pre pared themselves to give the Committee satisfactory answers es to the detail of expense, and therefore they do not feel themselves called upon to give. any opinion of the comparative. merits of these plans, the evidence relative to which the House will be best able to judge and appreciate. The Committee, however, referring to the expense incurred in obtaining ground in the City of London for other public improvements, are apprehensive that no considerable addition to the area of Smithfield could be obtained without a heavy expense. SUBSIDIARY MARKETS. It remains for the Committee to consider the third plan, of adding Subsidiary Markets to Smithfield. The Corporation of London conceive that they have a t re set iptuve right to prevent the establishment of any mai ket within seven miles of the ancient walls of London; but the Committee have no reason to suppose that such a right (if it be well founded) would be exercised to the detriment of the public interest. The Committee, how ever, are apprehensive that, of the three plans suggested to them, the establishment of Subdiary Markets would be this most difficult to accomplish ; they therefore de tain the House no longer with statements on a schemeb The system of slaughtering ;ode in London was especially submitted to ate consideratiOn of the Com- Mittee, and hlthoughitappears objectinnable in many respects, there is no evidence by which i t can b e collected that tse health of the inhabitants is prejudicially d Elect t. obY it. The mMittee here take leave to call , the attention of the liOnste to die enclose. of Mr. Mills, relative to the Abattoirs of Paris.. It must, however, be ctbserved..thist:iiihissigh . public slaughter houses are established with manifest adisiotire to the Community almost every C it y, yet compulsory enactments, by which cattle could only be slaughtered under the superintendence of public inspectors, would be repugnant to the feelings of Englifhmen. It was stated to the Committee, that in New York and Phila delphia . no cattle can ,be privately slaughtered; but great d fficulty might arise in instituting similar com pulsory regulations is London. The Committee, how ever, would rejoice at the establishment of slaughter houses on an improved.plan,rhicb, by affording every facility to tbehutcher, might tilincluee a bet:er system , and. to *WO those connected with the trade might b 4; induced voluntarily to resort. Such establishments (for there should be, in their opinion, several in the environs of London) would well merit the patronage of the public. to whose opinion on sbch a.subject, if strongly mani fested, the butihers must yield. and from whose decision there could he no appeal.

Having thus ericlavoured, howeVer imPirfectly, tp submit to the impartial review of the House thediffereot modes by which the present system of MUM* and slaughtering live stack in the metropolis and its vicinity. might be improved, the Committee take leave further to add, that the subject involves other considerations of no small importance. The profanation of Sunday has been strongly pointed out to the Committee. Mr. Wilson, Vicar of Islington, we: forcible and emphatic language. The brutalising effects of the present course, the nuisances and ihe im proprieties, are such as to produce upon the minds of the keepers of the public-houses, and the drovers theM• selves, the very worst moral effects.. And again, there is a brutalizing effect produced by the !bole of Sunday being occupied chiefly by those "drOvers . withoUt may public worship ;ind'that is inc,eased with the inceease of the market, and the increase of persons employed. Mr.Blac Burn, the Dissenting Minister of Pentonville, 'also complains of the gross violation of the Sabbath. and the miseries which quiet and orderly familiesendure in that neighbourhood. Th e C o M m ittee are aware that these Gentlemen might, however improperly, be suspected of being unduly biassed ; they therefore refer to the testimony of men of business. Mr. Merritt, s salesman, says, There are 700 individuals employed on Sanjay ; 500 of those would not be employed at all, if the alteration took plice from Monday to Tuesday.— And again, There are from 50 to 60 public houses kept open under pretence of accommodating these drovers and salesmen, and so forth, and the abuse atiendant upon that I will leave the Committee to judge, rather than describe. Mr. Hebb, also a salesman, being a:ked, Have your drovers any time for rest on Sundays? says, Tney ate employed in nothing but their pursuits; in taking care of the sheep, and separating them. And again, when asked, Would it not be desirable to let t' em have that day for rest? answers, Yes, it is very desirable; but in the situation they ate placed in, they can hive no rest on Sunday ; if they did, they would soon lo.e their situations. Mr. Pocklington, a money changer in Smith& details the occupation of his own clerks on the Sunday': and being asked how many hours of the day (Sunday) they (the drovers) are employed, says, I should think the whole of the Jay ; but, on being ablfect, Although the London drover might have an opportunity to lest on the Sunday, would not the drover at a distance be employed in driving cattle forward on tie Sundry replies, Yes, certainly. I only gave my answer as my own idea; not that it would be so desirable and eligible to the trade itself. The obvious remedy to this alleged profanation of Sunday is to change market day t.) Tuesday ; but the Committee submit, that though the evidence adduced is of a nature to deserve the most serious consideration, 'it is met by objections of such great importance, and such evident truth,f as to induce the Committee, how ever reluctantly, to abstain from recommending, at the present time, the adoption of such an alteration. It seems clearly established in evidence, that ttie habits of the greater proportion of the population of London are such, that but little meat is bought by the lower and middle classes f society on Mondays. The butchers, consequently, on Tuesdays. are so busily employed in supplying their customers,, that the greatest incon. venience would arise from their inability to purchase live stock and to attend to their retail trade on the same day. It is to be observed, moreover, that supposing the alteration to take place of the live stock mat ktt, the hay market, now held on the Tuesday, must necessarily be changed to Monday —much to the annoyance of the farmer,who, as some witnesses state,would,consequently, employ his men on Sundays; and also producing other serious inconveniences; as detailed in the evidence of Mr.Tarling, and other hay salesmen, who were examined before the Committee. It may, therefore, be inferred, that persons connected with the hay trade might be induced to devote the Sunday to labour ; the evils arising from such labour would thus be removed further from public •iew, but would probably spread over a larger surface, and pro duce effects as much to be reg►etted as those which have been detailed in evidence. The Committee, however, hesit ite not to advise that the Islington Local Act should be amended. They would propose that live stock should be prevented from entering that parish after nine o'clock on Sunday morn ing, nor should they be driven from their lairs before tei o'clock on Sunday night; and police regulations might be formed to prohibit the assembling of cattle arid sheep on Sunday evenings is the approaches to the market, whether such market continue at Smithfield, or be elsewheie established. It has frequently occurred to the Committee to inquire why a market for live stock should not be re-establidred on Wednesday, having beat fnmerly held on that day; such an additional market, if encouraged by influential
