fourth %bitten SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. FRANCE. The Constitutionnel has the following on the come mercial relations between France and Germany , " For some time past seriously thinking persons have been occupied with the approaching opportuneness of a co mmercial and customs treaty between France and Germany. This is an idea which will gain ground, for it responds to the tendencies of the present epoch. Itis there fore necessary to begin to state the commercial movement of France with the German Customs Association. England and France bad already accomplished their industrial re volution, while Germany still struggled against the inva sion of fresh discoveries. Our neighbours beyond the Rhine have long regarded machines as dangerous inven tions, and they have not consented to change their mode of production except in face of the most evident neces sity; bat when once in the path of innovations, they have persevered with that patience which is one of the features of the German character. It is more particu larly by the establishment of the Zollverein that Germany has shown her resolution to take rank among commercial Powers. That great institution has rendered to the States associated in it the same services as did the abolition of the internal barriers in our French provinces in 1789. It is from 1833, the year of the formation of the Zollverein, that the impetus given to German industry takes date. The prin cipal merchants and manufacturers of Prussia, Bavaria, and Saxony then began the excellent custom of meeting together periodically, in order to discuss their common interests. The press published an account of every new and ingenious process. The most eminent men did not disdain to examine into the difficulties of manufactures. Not only did M. de Reden publish in 1844 his remark able work on the commerce and manufactures of Ger many, he took on himself to procure samples of the linen made in Ireland; he compared them with similar articles made in Silesia and Westphalia; he ascertained the re spective prices of one and the other, and sent those sam ples to all the great manufacturers of the country. These and other similar efforts soon placed Germany as a producing country immediately next to England, France, and the United States. The considerable developments of German industry are proved by the tables of the commerce of France with the Zoll verein. Although the figures which we are about to put forward only express the official value of our special trade with Germany, they are, how ever, very significative, and deserve serious con sideration. In 1820 we exported directly into Prussia and the rest of Germany 96,209,185 L merchandise. In 1840 the amount fell to 48,.66 2 tuul little In 1848 it was only 35,852,000 f., but rose agal space w ort? „‘‘, o c. in 1849, when it was 42,357,0001. Thus, of 30 years, the total amount of ourinexp o r tsthe one-half. to - the States of the Zollverein has diminished by 1849 the Daring this same period from 1820 t im ports from Germany into France to followed an 1820, they rose to upward course. From 23,838, 2851 . 0 1 0 n 0f. in 1842. They 47,981,000 f. in 1840, and 05 0 The i then fell to 49,551,000 F. in 1847, 38 'and in 1849 returned to 29,980,0001., d h therefore portation pro uce as nearly the same as in 1820. portation into France of Germa h The ensem ble o f our direct remained about stationary. exchange with Prussia and Germany was 119,940,047 f. in 1820; in 1849 it was only 73,337,000 f. Such are the facts which it was important to establish befor e see ki ng on what bases commercial transactions between Faance and Germany must be henceforth regulated. Every one will understand that the treaty must be of such a nature that both countries shall find their account in it; the balance between concessions and compensations must be equal."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,—ln discussing the question of a tax on property or income, it is, I think, necessary at th© outset to de termine upon which the tax is to be levied. Until this is done, it is useless to enter into such discussions as those of Messrs. Warburton and Farr, as given in their evidence before the Income-tax Committee, ac extract from which you published in your paper of the 25th instant. If the tax is to be one upon property, then we should require the aid of our best accountants and actuaries to teach us how to come at the real value of our property, and to settle its relative taxable value. Bat, from what we have already seen amongst men learned in figures, I fear the task would be a difficult one. If the tax is to be one upon income, then wo should simply have to take the next income, and have the same per centage deducted from all, irrespective of the source from which it is derived. Just, as the amount amount realisedAl valuel pro perty, is in per37' disadvantage t o a f x p e r s o , direct or indirect, are taxes on income.

The question is still an open one, and I should like t o see those gentlemen who are now dis cussing the relative values of different incomes, giving their attention to the f,llowing paints : Whether direct taxation is preferable to indirect ? Whether a tax upon property or income is the most di rect ? Whether there ought to be any exemption To arrive at the net ince me, what are the allowances which ought to be made off different trades or pr o f ess i ons ? This settled, we could then go further, as to the amount of rate to be levied, and to what extent we could get rid of the present system of indirect taxation.

QUESTION OF METROPOLITAN WATER SUPPLY NOT SETTLED. The question of the proper supply of proper water to Loudon is not settled, and none but the wilfully blind, or the naturally stupid, Kill say it is,—none but igno ramuses or shareholders, the latter of whom, by the way, merely act as others would do in the same position. We do not usually employ coarse language; but this is too important a matter to minc e wor d s upon . Th e water supply question is not settled, any more than the drsinage of Lonrion is settled because one set of hand-tied com missioners after another—dummies in spite of them selves, according to their account—have been appointed, and have met, and have killed their officers and them selves, have spent money without reference to a plan, an d h a ve got miserably . into debt, witho u t a d v an c in g the p ur pose of their existence a single step. The water supply question is not settled any more than the burial in towns question is settled because an Act of Parliament has been passed which permits amelioration but does not enforce it. The water-supply question will not be settled, and must not be considered settled so long as we have any but the best wa t er , b ot h i n a san i tary an d an econo mical point of view, an d t h e most efficient supply possible.—lt is really a very i mportant quest i on f or t h e metropolis, a involving h ealt h an d money to a l arge amount; question whi c h s h ou ld b e sett l e d—b ut i s not. Well-informed, honest, and able men may express them selves contented with the present arrangement as a sac rifice to expediency; but they must feel that this can not last, and ought not to last. It is not the course they would take in their own arrangements: it is still less the course which should be pursued by a wealthy and powerful community.—Budder. ERECTION OF A CHURCH FREE FROM THE BISHOP or LONDON'S CONTROL, —The absence of sufficient church ac commodation! at Stoke Newington, has long been severely felt by the inhabitants. It is now, we are glad to hear, proposed to erect a new church at the corner of Albert Grove, a site peculiarly adapted for it, owing to the erection of about 1,000 new houses being now in progress. The edifice is to be registered in the Archiepiscopal Court of Canterbury, for the performance of Divine Worihip, according to the rites of the Church of England, The plan is in the Italian style, and the cost (estimated at only 1,0501.) is to be defrayed by Pu blic subscription. There is to be seat room for about 800 people. GRIMSBY, AtrG.3— Wind S.W.—Arrd. Kitty, St. johon's,, Brunswick. Cw un. 30.—Acrd. St. Vincent, Young, Syd ney, New Scuth Wales. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. HAMMERSMITH. Mr. Thomas, the secretary to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, applied to Mr. Beadon, the sitting magistrate, shortly after the disposal of the night charges, for three summonses against Mr. T. B. Simpson, the proprietor of ere morne-gardens, and M. and Madame Poitevin, for cruelty to a horse which was suspended to a balloon that ascended from the gardens on 1 hursday after noon last. The applicant stated that he was prepared with evidence to prove that the balloon ascended at half past six o'clock on Thursday afternoon last from ere morne-gardens, and that Madame Poitevin sat upon the back of th e h orse, w hi c h was suspen d e d f rom th e machine. Her husband was in the car of the balloon at th e time, and Mr. Simpson, the proprietor of the gardens, was also present when the ascent was made. H . e should a l so b e able to prove t h at Madame Poite via remained for some time upon the back of the horse while in the air before she entered the car with her husband. BEADON supposed that it was intended to raise the question whether it was an act of cruelty to the horse to suspend it to a balloon ? Mr. Thomas replied that it was, and said the weight upon the animal's back while suspended in the air and he construction of the bandages would be sufficient to prove the act of cruelty. Oae of the officers of the society was present during the ascent, and also a veteri nary surgeon, and they both would be able to prove the act of cruelty to the animal. Mr. BEADO N said he fully expected that the sum monses would have been applied for, as it was a ques tion of considerable importance, and should be settled. Mr. Thomas had stated quite sufficient for the sum monses to be granted. Mr. Thomas was then asked whether he intended to proceed aga i nst t h em f or t h e ascent or d escen t. Mr. Thomas said for the ascent from Cremorne gardens. Mr. BEADON observed, in that case the matter would not come under his jurisdiction, as the whole ofCremorne-gard ens w as in the district o f the West minster police -court. Ilia district only extended as far as the road near the gardens. Mr. Thomas said he was very sorry for troubling his Worship unnecessarily, but he had been informed that Hammersmith was the right court to apply to for the summonses. ➢lr. BEADO N inquired where the balloon descended, as if it fell in his district he could then grant the summonses. Mr. Thomas said the balloon descended at Heston near Hounslow. Mr. BEADON aaid that place was also out of bis district. He believed that the first balloon ascent of M. Poitevin with his horse terminated by the machine falling in Wimbledon, which place came under his notice at Wandsworth, and, if Mr. Thomas had evidence of that descent, he would listen to the application. Mr. Thomas said he had not. The only evidence he had related to the ascent of the balloon on Thursday last. He understood that Madame Poitevin in tended to ascend that evening upon the back of a bull, from the same gardens, as " Europa carried away by Jupiter." Mr. BEADON thought the best course to adopt by apply Mr. Thomas to the sitting magistrate at Westminsterw po as lic to e court for the summonses, as the question was an important one, and ought to be de cided in the proper district. Mr. Thomas thanked his worship for the attention he had paid to the appli cat i on, and sa i d h e s h ou ld apply immediately to the magistrates at Westminster police-court. THE NATIONAL LAND COMPANY. Riceemav R SWORTH, ~AT UIIDAY.—An important and rather remarkable inquiry has been proceeding here Weak, under th e during the and 14 and 15 direction of the Court of Chancery - Vic., for dissolving the Na tional Land Company and Chartist Co-operative Land for disposing Society, and of its lands, properties, and principel estates connectedwithwhi ch situate the O'Connorville situate ar, , or Herring gate, three miles from Rickmanswoeth ; at Minster ' L a ove i ll,near witney ; a t Redma , rle . Y, near Tewkesbury; and at ga d Snig s End, near Lowlands Gloucester. The , though not the most ex estate called O'Connorville e of the earliest located, and was pur -1 tensive, was on chased in 184 6 , and parcelled out into allotments, upon the experimental plan of en a bli ng i ts occupants, " b y means of the re-productive and co-operative principle, and by moderate industry, to live in comparative comfort and independence," on two and three acres of land, an d at the same time to form th e nucleus of a political pro paganda for p romot i ng the exp l o d e d s i x points of the charter. In the attainment of both these objects the experiment , the pr esen t inquiry goes to a s show, has pro ved a signal delusion, the occupants of the estates being, more or l ess, i n em b arrassmen t, an d the projector of the plan, as is well known, in a state of mental aberration. The sittings to inquire into the subject have been held here at the S wan Hotel, before Mr. Willi am Goodchap, one of the official assignees of the Court of chancery , assisted by Mr. Roxburgh, as counsel and assessor ; 11r. John T uc k e r, of the fi rm of Tucker and Sons; and Mr. Woodthorpe, s urveyor and architect ; Mr. C. Roche, of the firm of Symons and Roche, representing the allottees or oc cupants, who attended very numerously. The report of the official assignee set f ort h that instituted under the dir ec ti on of the inquiry w as the Court of Chancery, to inquire into the cases of all those pers ons to whom lands had been allotted, but who had r elin q uished title or claimed compensa tion for loss or e x p enditure in res p ect of them, and t o ascertain by the best and most economical means to w hat amount the value of the ca p ital and l a b our expended by the allottees had exceeded the value of the occupation, and the advances of aid money, see d , by the b company, and to determine and stock made went very the sum by way of rent to e paid for past occupation by each allottee who should prove his title, making all constitution . of the National all just allowances. The report, w hi c h fully into the origin a 3 regarded tae purchase and al- Land Company, as 0 , c e enor as trustee, further stated lotment of lands and the balloting for members by Mr. Fearg that on 11 qi April, 1846, it was notified t o th e share shareholders by Mr. Feargus O'Connor that he had purchased the O'Con norville estate, consistin g of 130 acres, for 2,3441., subj ect to an annuity of 60/. per annum, conveyed by T. Ayres and J. M argetson, hut the title deed of which is now retained by Mr. W. P. Roberts, solicitor, of Manchester, on the ground of alleged lien. Soon after a ballot, for two, three, and four acres respectively, took place among those members of the com pany who had paid 2/. 105. deposit, being the value of one share in the company. ,The members who became located were principally mechanics, or weavers totally unacquainted with agricultural pur suits. from Stockport, B, adf ord, Manchester, L ee d s, and Wigan. The two-acre balloted members holding one share had allotted them a house, two acres of land, and 151.; the three acre members, a house, three acres, and 221. 103. ; and the four-sere members of two shares, a house, four acres, and 301. In this way the 103 acres were parcelled out, two acres being set apart for the school at the head of the estate. The members entered on their locations on let May, 1847. Some are still in possession; others have underlet. During the period they remained they received aid money , cu ltivation money , and bushels of wheat. S ome so ld their right of loca t ion, which latter was of the average value of from 40/. to 1001. In some cases distresses were levied on the goods, chattels, and growing crops, and this state of things continued until the Act of Parliament for winding up this and other estates in a similar position was 0b... EXPLOSIONS IN COAL MINES. The Select Committee appointed last session to inquire into the causes of the frequency of explosions in coal mines, with a view to prevent the appalling loss of life arising from them, and who were em powered to report their observations, together with the minutes of evidence taken before them, to the House, have considered the matters to them referred, and agreed to the following report : " Your Committee had in the first place to consider how best, in the short space of time permitted them in the present session, so to prosecute their inquiry as that some early advantage might be derived from it to that numerous class which is employed in the coal mines of Great Britain. "If they had consented to receive evidence from every quarter from which it was tendered, not only would the whole of their time have been occupied in the examination of witnesses only, without an opportunity being afforded to them of offering any conclusions of their own, but the evidence would have been of that voluminous character which renders it practically useless. " Your Committee, therefore, considering the pressing emergency of the matter committed to their charge, how deeply the interests of humanity were involved (the deaths from explosions having latterly increased to the fearful number of about 1,000 per annum), determined only to examine witnesses of the highest and most expe rienced character, in the hope that they might be able to derive sound information on which to recommend ad ditional means for the prevention of such widespread calamities during the present session, ' " They were the more induced to adopt this course from the circumstance of a Committee of the House of Commons having inquired into the subject in 1835 (Mr. Pease chairman), and of a Committee of the House of Lords (Lord Wharncliffe chairman), having repeated the inquiry in 1849; and of a great mass of evidence having been published by those Committees. "But early in their sittings, the report from the South Shields Committee, appointed to investigate the causes of accidents in coalmines,' was brought under their notice; to which report the attention of the House of Lords' Committee was also directed in 184. On examination, this report proved to be a repertory of in formation, so extensive, important, and apparently so accurate, that it seemed to supersede in a measure the necessity of examining very numerous witnesses. This committee was appointed by a public meeting in South Shields, held in consequence of the dreadful loss of life by the explosion of the St. Hilda Mine, in 1839, close to that town. It continued its labour for three years; visited in person various mines, com municated with many of the most scientific and prac tical men of the day, at home and abroad, and terminated its labours by that report. " The first witnesses, therefore, summoned by your Committee, were the chairman of the South Shields Committee, Mr. Ingham, late member for that borough, and Mr. Mather, its honourary secretary, to authenticate the accuracy of that report. The result was satisfactory. To the evidence especially of Mr. Mather, whose labours in this interesting cause of humanity are worthy of the highest praise, they beg to refer. So much value do your Committee attach to this document that they have added it in extenso in an appendix to their report. " The Committe of the House of Commons, in 1835, called public attention to the undue confidence that hitherto had been placed in the Davy lamp; suggested that reliance should chiefly be placed for security on in creased ventilation ; and concluded by expressing the hope that the evidence they published would stimulate to such increase. It is to be regretted that so little at tention was paid to those beneficial suggestions. " From the Committee of the House of Lords ema nated a recommendation for a Government inspection of mines, which has since been adopted. The inse curity of the Davy lamp, under particular circum stances, was implied. They report—' Better ventila- Wien, however, appears to bo the improvement most generally needed and most to be aimed at.' They state, in addition, that the mines of Scotland are compara tively free from danger from explosion. To this a me lancholy contradiction has been given by the calamitous tragedy, last year, of the Nitshill colliery explosion, near Glasgow; and by the statement of the Government inspector of that district, Mr. M. Dunn, in a late report to the Secretary of State, in which he says that the de partment of Scotland exhibits a greater succession of ac cidents, in proportion to the number of persons employed, than in England.' "The Committee of the House of Lords refers also with some stress, among other plans, to the proposal to increase ventilation by means of the steam jet. This plan had been suggested by Mr. Goldsworthy Gurney, its inventor, to the Committee of 1835. It is the system al most exclusively relied on by the South Shields Com mittee in their report for increased security from ex plosion. " Having considered, therefore, the laboura of those who have preceded them, as well in reports of Com mittees of the two Houses as in those of inspectors and others; and having verified the authenticity of the South Shields report; and having discovered that nothing new upon the subject appears to have been elicited since the report of the South Shields Committee, except on some important conditions connected with ven tilation pointed out by Mr. Gurney before the Lords' Committee, as to what he termed the furnace limit,' and the formation of a natural brattice,' and the furnace paradox;' and all these reports having leaned to the conclusion that increased ventilation was the only true and secure means for the prevention of explosions, your Committee determined, if possible within the limits of the present session, to bring the matter and the means of increased ventilation to some more practicable issue than that to which it had hitherto been brought; and for the conclusions to which they have come, they beg to refer to the very interesting evidence which they now publish. " Your Committee are of opinion— " That any system of ventilation depending on com plicate machinery is unadvisable, since under any dis arrangement or fracture of its parts the ventilation is stopped or becomes less efficient. " That the two systems which alone can be considered as rival powers aro the furnace and the steam jet. " The furnace system, under favourable circumstances , i. e, of the area of the shafts being large and deep, the air-courses sufficient, the goaves (or old workings) well insulated, and the mine not very fiery, appears to be capable, with strict attention, of producing a current of air that will afford reasonable security from explosion; but when the workings are fiery and numerou s as well as remote, and the intensity of the furnace or furnaces requires to be raised in order to increase, on any parti cular emergency, the amount of ventilation, the n the fur nace not only refuses to answer the spur and to increase ventilation, but from a natural law (discovered by Mr. Gurney, and scientifically and practically confirmed be fore your Committee), there arises a dangerous stoppage n iea to the ventilation going on through ou t the mine. An explanation of this is given ura i l n er th th e e , r h r e ec ad h heads ' Natural Brattice,' and Furnace Limit,' Defi nitions and Explanations' at the foot of this report. Under the head of Furnace Paradox' will bo shown the importance of the water gauge as a test of the drag of the mine which produces the furnace limit under the furnace system. " To the powers of the steam jet, on the other hand, there appears to be no pract i ca l limit; for although it acts, when placed (where recommended) at the bottom of the upcast as a rarefier to the extent of the steam used, and fire under the boiler, its principal or direct efficiency depends upon its power of propulsion. The heated air not only rises from rarefaction , bu t an y amount of cold air can be bodily pushed up the upca st, t he amount merely depending on the number and size of jets em ployed, and the pressure of steam. " This power of the steam jet, although recommended so strongly by the South Shields Committee, in 1843, did not appear to have been so extensively introduced, or so thoroughly tested, as to be taken by your Committee for granted, notwithstanding the testimony borne to its efficiency by most intelligent witnesses. They held their judgment in suspense for the greater part of their in quiry. They adjourned to the Polytechnic Institution, and there had ocular demonstrations of its power; they summoned before them Mr. Nicholas Wood, considered the most experienced exponent and defender of the fur nace system. They heard nothing from him to weaken the impression which grew upon their minds of the great power of the steam jet as a ventilator. Still, from its having been, as stated, ignorantly applied in some cases, and producing less effect than had been described in such cases, the superiority of it over the furnace in actual practice had not been adequately proved to them until Mr. Foster, next to Mr. N. Wood, it seems, the largest viewer of the north of England, appeared before them. " The evidence of Mr. Forster in favour of the steam jet, from long and constant use, was conclusive, and any doubt previously existing was at once removed. To the whole of his moat valuable evidence reference should be made. "Your Committee are unanimously of opinion that the steam jet is the most powerful, and at the same time least expensive method for the ventilation of mines. " Previous to 1848, when Mr. Forster introduced the steam jet into the Seaton Delaval Mine, the firedamp was constantly seen playing around the face and edged of the goaves and oter parts of the workings. Since that period the mine is swept so clean that it is never observed, and all danger of explosion seems removed in a very fiery mine. The increase of ventilation is from 63,000 cubic feet per minute, under the furnace system, to 84,000 under the steam jet; and to double that quan tity, which Mr. Forster considers sufficient, would, he says, only require the application of some extra jets. Mr. Forster states the original outlay for tho steam jet to be less than for the furnace by 391. I ss. 61, and the annual cost to be less by 50/. 12s. id., while the power of ventilation is increased to nearly double. " Notwithstanding the increase of ventilation which Mr. N. Wood states he has obtained in one of his col lieries where the areas of the shafts aro very large, and by the aid of three furnaces, it appeared in evidence that the explosion at the Killingvvortu Colliery last autumn, un,ler Mr. N. Wood's management, took place under the furnace system of ventilation. " Although a few of the witnesses (two of the most intelligent of the Government inspectors among the number) seemed to have misunderstood the m o d e i n which the steam jet operated as a ventilator, and pro fessed themselves so fur unacquainted with it as to be unable to form an accurate judgment on its merits, all the witnesses, with scarce an exception, coincided in the opinion that in a fiery mine, even where the furnace system was thought sufficient under ordinary circum stances it would be a prudent and almost necessary pre caution to have a steam jet apparatus at the top of tne downcast, connected with the boiler of the engine which worked the mine, in case a sudden and great increase of power was required under pressing omergenny. 1852. " It was stated in evidence that 70 per cent. of the deaths from explosions were occasioned not by the ex plosion of firedamp, but by the' afterdanrip ' which suc ceeds it. If the latter be inhaled in its pare state by the miner it causes immediate death. Bat since, from the miners being subsequently discovered in various stegcs of prostration, it is apparently inhaled in various degrees of dilution, it seems clear that a power like the steam jet placed at the top of the downcast, out of reach (which the furnace at the bottom of the upcast occasionally is not) of the effects of the explosion, and capable of sweep ing the galleries of the mine with an almost irresistible force immediately atter the explosion, might be the means of saving a large proportion of the lives now lost for want of such a power. The furnace under such pressing emergency is inapplicable, and incapable of being used for the purpose. " Your Committee, however, are unanimously of opi nion that the primary object should be to prevent the explosions themselves; and that, if human means (as far as known) can avail to prevent them, it is by the steam-jet system as applied by Mr. Forster, although even in such case it might be prudent in a mine espe cially fiery to add an inexpensive steam-jet apparatus at the top of the downcast, as a means in reserve in case of explosion from neglect or otherwise. " Your Committee still are unwilling to recommend a compulsory enforeernent of any particular system of ventilation; they would rather paint to the conditions under which alone they consider the mine to be safe, and leave it to soma improved system of inspection or control to secure those conditions being universally adopted. " The proper condition of a mine, as regards its venti lation, your Committee consider is when the current of air through all the air -courses, more particularly in the extreme workings, is from four to six feet per second in rate through an ordinary-sized airway (say) 50 feet sec tional area. This, in the extreme workings, would com mend a rate of current to a much greater extent (and which would be necessary) through the less remote work ings of the mine. Without a current of air at the rate of at least four feet per second, equal to about three miles per hour, in every part of a mine at all fiery, the miner cannot ho considered safe from explosion. Such current would be the truest indication of the actual amount of fresh air circulating through the general workings of the mine. It seems immaterial by what mode this rate of current is produced, so that it be cer tainly produced, and a means be furnished to the inspec tor at each visit to ascertain that such rate of curt cut has constantly existed during his absence. " There is a seeming contradiction to the conclusion at which your Committee have arrived, that a generally increased ventilation is the truest security against ex plosions, in the fact that these explosions have become more frequent, in spite of more attention having been given of late years to the subject of ventilation. The contradiction, however, is in appearance only. To pro duce explosion of the firedamp the presence of a cer tain quantity of air (or proportion of oxygen) is re quired to make it explosive at all; and with less than that proportion explosion does not take place; and, also, after certain additions to that proportion of oxygen, the tendency to explosion ceases. In the former case the atmosphere of the mine is unhealthy, in the latter it is healthy. The postulatum in this matter of ventilation may be considered to be such a thorough ventilation as, together with a wholesome air to breathe, should so sweep the mine clear of the gases as they escaped from the goave and fissures, or so dilute them with pure air, as that they ceased to be explosive. To leave the mine to its natural state of ventilation would be to leave it in undisturbed possession of a poisonous, but possibly inemplosive atmosphere; proper ventilation, on the contrary, would, by dispelling that poisonous atmosphere, leave to the miner an atmosphere to breathe nearly as pure as the outer air. But a partial introduction of an insufficient quantity of atmospheric air into a fiery mine may cause the very mischief against which it is intended to guard. It should not be forgotten by the coal proprietor that the unhealthiness of some mines, together with" the danger of explosion, greatly enhances the rate of wages they must pay, so long as their workmen have to encounter such evils; while the removal of those evils, on the other hand, must tend ere long to reduce the rate of wages in collieries more to a level with that of labourers in ordinary occupations. These observations, of course, extend also to the injury to health and risks arising from black' or choke damp' (carbonic acid gas), J The poison generally, in smaller quantities, is slow in its operation, but not the less sure. The miner is proverbially short-lived. " The attention of your Committee has been directed to scientific and practical means of decomposing or neutralising the explosive gases as they exude from the coal and goaevs; but it does not appear to your Com mittee that science has discovered any practical means for producing this desirable effect. It is, however, on the minutes of evidence, that an individual well versed and long engaged in mining operations, a member of the House of Commans,* has offered, through the Royal College of Chemistry, a premium of 1,0001. for the dis covery of some simple practical means for the attain ment of this important object. " Your Committee would now refer to some more in cidental means of security against explosion; first, stating their concurrence in the opinion expressed, I directly er indirectly, by the Committees of 1E35 and 1849, and also with that so strongly expressed by the South Shields Committee, that where a proper degree of ventilation does not exist in a mine, a Davy lamp, or any modification of it, must be considered rather as a lure to danger than as a perfect security. Prac tically secure in a still atmosphere it may be con sidered; and in the hands of a cautious overman an admirable instrument for exploring, or as an indi cator of danger; but in a current, as admitted by its il lustrious inventor himself, it is not a security; and in the hands of an ordinary workman, under circumstances of excitement, when danger is threatened, it is not im probably, far oftener than imagined, the very cause of the explosion which if was intended to prevent. The experiments of Dr. Bachhoffner, at the Polytechnic In stitution, before your Committee, were very interesting on this point. Nevertheless, in a mine that is at all fiery, it will be a prudent precaution to work with a lamp, until it can be proved that by means of ventilation a mine can be so far cleared of all explosive gases, as to prevent any accumulation of them in the workings, goaves, or elsewhere. Some of the witnesses point to such a possibility ; and, if it were for the sake of the health of the miners alone, a current of fresh air teasing through the mine which could prcduce this effect would render such a power one of the most valuable contribu tions of the age. One of the principal objections to the Davy lamp on the part of the workmen has been the in sufficient light which it affords. A lamp of greater re flecting power, which would, at the same time, admit of a double gauze protection, has been suggested, and is ex plained below. Too entire a reliance on the safety of the Davy lamp appears to have led, in not a few instances, to the neglect of ventilation. " In the furnace system of ventilation the power de pends on the difference of the temperature of the air going down the downcast shaft and that coming up the upcast; and w h en t em p era t ur e of the outer air is high the power of th e furnace is reduced. Whe n the ther mometer, therefore, exhibits a high rate of temperature, the ventilation is lessened. This may account for acci dents being generally more frequent in spring and summer. It is very desirable, under such circum stances, that an extra power of ventilation should be applied. Under the ordinary pressure of the atmosphere its weight operates in a fiery mine to keep the escape of gas from the recesses of the mine. When the pressure is less the explosive gases have greater power to escape. Whenever, therefore, there is a fall in the barometer, showing a diminished pressure of the atmosphere, danger is indicated, and an increased amount of ventilation re quired. In every mine, therefore, it should be impera tive for a barometer to be kept. It should be placed near the ventilating power, properly connected with the external air, through the downcast, so as to take the pressure of the atmosphere. A " differential barometer" is much more sensitive than a common one; and, since it costs only a few shillings, there would be no excuse for not having one. " A water gauge should be placed at the bottom of the upcast, to indicate the power of the drag of the mine, where the furnace system is used, so as to indicate the presence or approximation of the furnace limit. " Bat an instrument of even greater importance than the above, especially in reference to the periodical visits of inspectors, is a self-registering anemometer, by which the inspector would know at each visit the rate at which the current of air had been passing through the mine in his absence. The best instrument of this kind at present known, perhaps, is that of Mr. Biram. Three, at least, of these should be kept in every mine ; one at the intake (bottom of downcast shaft), one at the return (bottom of upcast), and, especially, one or more in the extreme workings. " The gcaves (old workings) in extensive mines are a principal source of danger. It has been suggested, if the water would permit, that the gm-es might be, as it were, drained of the explosive gas by a bore-hole from the surface, acted on by a steam jet; that gas, being lighter than common air, would thus be drawn through the bore to the outer air. For a similar purpose gas drifts have been recom mended, as described in the Technical Definitions and Explanations.' .6 4 1 t was suggested by Mr. Gurney, also, that refuge stalls might be established at small expense, in places familiar to the miners, throughout the workings, to which, upon an explosion, they could at once fly from the fatal effects of the afterdamp. A description of these will be found among the " Explanations." "It has been stated in the evidence that boys a re . h employed in mines to perform duties tho neglect of wh ic h in a single instance might be productive of greatltoosst. e life. They are employed, is particular, to attend necessary the opening and shutting of the doors or traps tilation. regulate the courses of air in every system in ofhveenbest-dis It has further been stated that, eve n t g uilty of ciplined pits, where the man are rarely, if ever, t been serious acts of neglect or carelessness , it r Dheagsli;nce on found impossible to guard against „Il.th een traced to a ppears that the part of the boys; and, according , in various instances fatal accidents e l o ' e the duti.s allotted such negligence in the performacc to them.

" It has been strongly recommended by several wit ter neridse(stf explosions, of knowledge and experience that, in the inq uests ht more diligent inquiry shou ld be insole than has hitherto been customary into the re mote wellas life. Your Committe e wou ld further recommend to the attention of the Home-offi c e whether it might n ot be expedient to institute such an effice as a Special Coro ner for these investigations. In connexion with this suggestion, it may also be worthy of consideration how far local feelings or prejudices may not tend, in °case i ional instances, to interfere with the impartial discharge of their duties on the part of juries. " In the letter of Sir 11. De la Beche to the chairman (vide appendix), it will be seen that education is a polo° insisted on as a precautionary means both among the working colliers and their managers, as also that the qualifications of inspectors should be rigidly teste pre vious to their appointment. In these views your Com mittee entirely concur. They not only trust to see education more rapidly spreading than heretofore among the working colliers, but schools of mines established, without certificates from which no overman, under looker, or manager shall be legally appointed to his office. " The qualification of inspectors for their office is a point of the first importance; and should be efficiently tested before a competent board, analogously with the, test exacted in various professions wher e the interests ed of life and health are involved. They s hould be acquaint generally with natural philosophy (especially pneuraes tics), chemistry, mechanics, also a c ompetent knowledge. of geology and miceralogy; and should also have bad practical experience of colliery working. " Almost every witness, however, bore testimony: to°. the total lug& quacy of the present system of inspeot,t t e d. The numbers were tee. small, its powers too liaSi t L t e es Each of the inspectors summoned before the COMM 1 / 3 0Ie had something like 400 mines in his district, the of which he would be unable to go through in lssw_thean_ four years. Many mines they had never visited. 1 t.. ", Committee cannot, therefore, hesitate to recommend that the number of inspectors should be increased. They at present amount to six. That , should at least be doubled; and two sub-inapectoerbes each chief inspector added. pear Sir 11. de la evidence'l3e letter' it is indicated, and it appd also in ~,_, that the present salary of an inspector was too sma ll' least to induce a person really fitted for the office of le specter to remain in his situation. • t ench " To increase the power of the inspector is a te ,. more pobsiiblytc: delicate matter.
