( :331154 LONDON, 'FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 17, 182. ---'‘)..--_ Sanitary improvements, although long delayed, appear to be among the number of those reforms which possess the largest prob a bi l i ty of their ulterior realiz *ion—and th is simply becaus e they appeal to us through the commonest dictate% sti lt 0. e „ u•pre.P,•vo tion I Never w as a necessit y for chan ge more forcibly or more pertinaciously thrust upon the Population. Scarcely a week, har dl y a da y , barel y ev en a Single hour elapses without yiel din g some new an d striking evidence that in this dire ction is required certai n rapid and radical innovations. It is a question, i n _ deed, affecting the health of the community. It is a problem, the satisfactory, and, in some respects, the readily attainable solution of which would materially diminish the amount of the general mortality. If any evidence were wanting in support of this position—it would be sufficient to demand the attend ance of the Registrar-General before a Com mittee of the House of Commons—and the country would soon Lam from the lips of that intelligent and experienced official the good likely to accrue from the alteration proposed by the advocates of sanitary im provement. Death would, assuredly, be deprived of a very considerable portion of his power in the metropolis if once those wholesome measures of pre a‘ltiou were enforced by the authority of the Legis -I"ure—supposing, for example, that there were purer water and more decent burials, and better drainage, and better ventilation t Almost eve • of ry L weekly report, in reference to the Health Gene London, issued from the office of the Registrar 11,:iii of con h stitutes a melancholy illustra tion of the ments. Ta,:e one of . rse large sanitary improve °l he very latest of these reports in proof, and bnz in mind While glancing down the list of particulars that the dreadf u l t scourge of the Asiatic cholera has again a ). Pnred in the eastern states of the European Continent. Remembering this circumstance , and p rese rving in recollection the state ment fact of the very fear ful rava ges caused b y the the epi demic in Warsaw , w e cannot b ut obse rve es with the Registrar-Gener a l made by culiar feelings, amounting in intensity almost t o th p se of consternation. Turning to this official report, therefore, of the mortality in the metropolis, We find in the single division referred to, that within seven days there were eight deaths by " cholera" and fifty. three by " scarlatina." The cholera, it is true, w as not the virulent disease known Lis the Asiatic, but that lesser, though still of:en fatal, attack of a similar ki n d wh i ch has unhappily in a great measure been gradually rendered indigenous. Whether termed the English Cholera or the Summer Cholera—the disease • la question proved itself in the week to which we - here - . a-e eloae g allusion, in all respects sufficiently formidable. It carried off one person in three days et Peeding, , oe , another in five days at Chelsea, anetle'r in a e week at Belgravia, another in a week at St. Gi/e s ' 8. another in twenty four-hours at Whitecross-street I another in twelve J THE SUN, hours at Bethnal-green, another in four days at Bromley, and another by the " cholera infantum" at Kensington. Those were the eight cases within seven days, and in the catalogue it will be perceived that we have particularly italicised two of the localities because we could not but be struck with their juxta-position in the Registrar-General's Report as in the highest degree significant. It is another evidence, if any additional one be required, that the cholera finds equally ready access into St. Giles and into Belgravia. In the same Report, from which we have already quoted, the Registrar-General mentions a variety of details in regard to the mortality in the capital, showing the urgent demand of sanitary improve ments. Besides the eight cases of English or Summer Cholera before enumerated, we find the record within the same week of upwards of a hundred deaths by diarrhoea—sixteen adults and eighty-nine children ! Referring to three out of the fifty-three deaths by scarlatina already specified, the Registrar- General remarks that these three deaths occurred in one house at Hoxton, and adds, " In that house there are frequently very offensive smells, arising from im perfect drainage, and having a tendency to produce in fectious disease. The above cases were in a state of collapse when the medical attendant was first called in. The fatal results might' have been prevented by ss and seasonable one medical proper attention to cleanliness aid." At Walbam-green, again, where fatal cases of diarrhoea had occurred, it is stated that the houses in the locality‘‘arenacsreowis oeed edtnopeeixdceshsy; each room in nearly eve r y a family of from four to six or seven individuals. There is no drainage, and the smells are very yThe prevalent medical most offensive. D iarrhoea i s there now"—the loca l re g is t r ar adding," officer of the Wallsam- green district informs me that the whole of his district is suffering severely from diarrhoea and a low sort of fever, which he attributes t o preventible causes, such as the overcrowding of cot tages, want of ventilation, and deficiency of sanitary ar rangements:' Unfortunat e ly th e same g h as tly tokens of the want of these neglected improvements are discoverable in almost every lane, and nearly every garret in the metropolis. Testimony of this, we re peat, i 3 contained, week after week, in the important and impressi ve re t urns o f t h e R eg i s t rar -G enera l . Hitherto we have looked, but, alas ! in vain, to the Legislature for the desired improvements. Now that a Cabinet has been formed that stands in need of ex tending its popularity by patriotic efforts in the way of innovation, perhaps we may count somewhat more confidently upon receiving the boon of a new and adequate sanitary organization from the hands of her ZYLIJESTI ' S Government. It is matter for surprise and regret that other Chambers of Commerce have not followed the ex ample set them by that of Belfast—of actively taking measures for the reduction of the foreig❑ wine duties. The countries—France, Germany, Spain, and Por tugal— from which we principally import wine, un fortunately and unwisely maintain tariffs hostile to the produce of British industry and skill. We fear that, while they do this, our Government will not feel called upon to reduce the duty on wine. It is now five shillings and sixpence a gallon, and a duty of one shilling, with the increased consumption which would certainly follow, would speedily make the re duction no loss to the Treasury. In the course of last Session the House of Com mons appointed a Committee to inquire into, and to take evidence upon this question. The result of the inquiry is embodied in the following :—First : The high duty now imposed encourages adulteration, by which the revenue suffers. The public pay dearly for an impure article, and the general health is im paired by the use of deleterious compositions sold for wines. Second: A low duty would prevent those evils ; the revenue ( judging by analogy from all former experience) would speedily recover itself, and in crease. Third : A diminution in the consump tion of spirits would ensue, and a conse quent improvement in the moral condition of the working classes, who would thus enjoy, at a cheap rate, sound and wholesome beverages. Fourth : A large export of British manufactured goods would take place to the wine growing countries, it being a sine qua non in granting the reduction of the duty upon foreign wines that the countries so favoured should at the same time admit British manufactured goods at a corresponding low duty. This .sine qua non, by the way, involves the whole question of reciprocity. It is unjust that, the rate of duty being the same upon good as upon inferior wines, the rich man, who can afford the first cost of seven francs for a bottle of . the best wine, has to pay no more duty upon it than is payable upon a bottle of drinkable vin ordinaire, the cost price of which is sixteen sous, and which ought to be sold in this country at about fifteen-pence. The large and uniform duty has the effect now of making adulteration almost inevitable ; and it is a curious fact that whereas the vendors of other taxed articles are generally anxious for the reduction of duties, en the natural expectation of i7creased profits from larger calls, the wine trade neither ask nor want a reduction of the duties on wine—for more is made by the present mixings, and adulterations, and "adapting the wine to the English palate," than they could expect to make in the regular course of business without " these means and appliances to boot." If foreigners expect that we shall reduce these duties, without their admitting British manufactures at corresponding low rates, they cherish a vain expecta don. Mr. DISRAELI has authoritatively announced that be will consent to no such thing. If foreigners want to multiply their wine exports by ten or twelve, they must commence by making their tariffs friendly to us. Of all the wine producing countries, Portugal alone has an idea of entering into a liberal system of commercial policy. It is stated that several impor tant modifications of her tariff are proposed, one of which would reduce the export-duty on port wine from 603. per pipe to 65., which would speedily lead to the total abolition of that duty. But more than this must be done. The "protective" duties, in Portugal, against British manufactures and produce, range at from 50 to 100 per cent. Contraband trade is the inevitable result, to the great loss of the Portuguese revenue. We recommend Portugal to be " up and stirring" in this matter of reduced taxation on imports to and exports fro m Great Britain. Port wine, however " tawny," is by no means so popular in this country as it was, where it i s in course of being fraudulently supplanted by French Wines. It may become the policy of France-- avowedly anxious to conciliate and stand well with En g l a n d— o adopt a liberal system of com mercial policy, which would allow a fair exchan ge o f F r ench wines for,British manufactures and produce.

The health of the living does indeed require, and even demand, that future interments shall take place out of town. With the unhappy probability of a visitation, next year, from the Cholera—which has been among us, like a devastating plague, twice dur ing the last twenty years—it especially behoves the public to see that proper and efficient means of extramural burial be supplied ; and we are happy to find that great desideratum judiciously pro vided.

LONDON, for the common is a table land about 100 feet above the railway level, and its geological formation makes it " dry" as well as " high." Its elevation w ill ha v e the advantage, too, of excluding the Necropolis from the view of railway passengers, as the line runs through the company's land in a deep cutting, so that the burial-ground rises far out of view. The vast area on which the primary operations will be commenced possesses many advantages, one of which is its great salubrity. Another is that, like a pa norama, it commands a series of extensive and pictu resque views. A third, that its distance from Lon don renders it most unlikely that, at any time, how ever remote, it can be built up to. And, a fourth, and not the least important, is the fact that, including the expense of railway transit, even the burial of paupers will be less expensive at Woking than it now is in a metropolitan burial-ground. The design is that each parish, each district, or each religious com munity, shall have its own distinctive place of sepul ture, and that, instead of presently expending money in the purchase of separate burial grounds, which would involve the parishes in debt, and lead to the increase of local taxation, the pay ments to the Necropolis Association shall be made by contract, according as the interments take place. This saving of expense is a very striking feature, and one which must particularly recommend the undertaking to the parochial authorities. A primary outlay of 1,000,0001., and an annual expenditure of 80,0001., will be saved to the parishes by their contracting with the Necropolis Association for the interment of their dead. To the living will be the comfort of knowing that the national burial-ground cannot, at any future time, or under any circumstances, be liable to the desecration which is so constantly taking place in intramural places of interment, where the black mould, saturated with the decayed and decaying mortality of centuries, is constantly carted off to make room for modern " improvements." Henceforth, at the Woking Necropolis, the rights of mortality will be respected. The parishes of the west and south of the metropolis will probably be glad to avail themselves of the advantages offered by this new Cemetery. Those of the north and east may have their wants provided for elsewhere. But the area at Woking—consisting of an extent of 2,000 acres, three miles in length by half a mile in breadth—is suffi cient to contain all the dead of the metropolis for centuries to come. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Some of them contain long biographical notices of the Duke of WELLINGTON, and annex to them com ments. It is with satisfaction we see that, with one exception, the Ministerial journals speak of the illus trious deceased in terms which show that they have more regard for truth and propriety than for 0119 popularity that they would gain among a certain class of readers. The language of the Constitutionnel 19 more than fair, it is even complimentary. This journal, indeed, pretends that the victory of Water loo throws no lustre up on th e m ilit ary - talent of the Duke, and that it w as th e resu lt o f goo d fortune arising from an error o f j u d gmen t ; b ut this depre ciation . will excite only a sm il e , an d the langu age which follows shows th a t it was w ith no ill to the Duke, but as a consolation to wounded national pride that it was used. The Constitutionnel says:— " The most competent jud g es have admitted tha t the dispositions of Napoleon must have infallibly succeeded, that victory was on our side until the arrival of the Prusaians, and that the Duke of Wellington had com mitted an enormous fault in placing his armyin such a position that it could not retreat. Let us, however, be just to every one. The fault of Lord Wellington power fully served his cause. In placing his soldiers in such a manner that they must either conquer o r be de stroyed, he gave additional farce to that justly . re nowned solidity of the English troops. He himself set them an example of determination carried to the length of heroism, and of obstinacy which became a military quality. Six hundred officers fell around him, and 10,000 soldiers perished before his eyes. The Cul ratsiers of Kellerman, the old Guard , under Ney, fell on the immov a bl e squares, and his regiments dis appeared one after the other, crushed beneath the avalanche of men and horses. Lord Wellington on horseback, behind the English lines, in the midst of a terrific fire, his countenance calm and serene, though with an air of sadness, replied to one of his generals, who said to him, But if you should be struck, tell us what is your plan.' My plan. he replied, ' consists in dying here unto the last man. Lord Wellington was an English general in the full acceptation of the word, cool, calm, methodical, without enthusiasm, but without any false brilliancy, sure of himself, confident in his soldiers, and always firm both in good and bad fortune. It has been justly remarked, that in the numerous dis patches which he published, and which form twelve enormous volumes, filo word glory wryer occurs. His only dominant passion was love of his country. His conduct and his character may be summed up in a word— he was a Pitt on horseback." The Pays says— " The name of the Duke of Wellington was Euro pean. The vast events in which he was mixed up, the immense part which he played during many long years in the destinies of the world, the eminent place which he occupied in the councils of the Crown in England, and the great authority which he exercised over his party in Parliament, have made this personage one of the most remarkable of our time. The news of his death will produce a profound sensation in Europe." The Patric is an exception to the good feeling manifested by the other Ministerial journals. In closing its biographical sketch of the Duke of WEL LINGTON, it says— " The Duke of Wellington died full of days, over whelmed with honours, with pensions and sinecures; but in descending into the tomb, he must havo carried with him the painful certainty that the undertaking to which he devoted his rare faculties was dead; and that the liberty for which he had refused to draw the sword had triumphed everywhere, in his own country, first of all, and in the rest of the world after wards ; and, to complete his disappointment, that the great name of Napoleon, which he had believed buried for ever under the pyramid of ^font-Saint•Jean, with the honour of France, had risen more full of life and more popular than ever." The article in the Siecle is by no means ungene rous. We extract as follows : " We have not the pretension to appreciate, in a few hasty lines, such an occupied existence. We confine our selves for to-day to noticing the differences which exist in the spirit and therelations of the two nations, between the present time and that at which enthusiastic England sa luted the more than doubtful conqueror of Waterloo. The ardent rivalities, the hatreds of centuries, have be come appeased. France and England have realised im mense progress in all the branches of human activity. The Duke of Wellington- was, during the first period of his life, the last representative of the fatal animosities which so long armed one against the other, the two powerful nations whose accord is now neces sary to the march of civilisation. The sword—it is to be hoped at least—has for ever been sheathed. The fields of battle, on which France and England have so fiercely contended, have become transformed, and the pacific conflicts of manufactures and commerce have suc ceeded to sanguinary contests. In our eyes the Duke of Wellington's best title to glory is, that he understood in the latter years of his life this striking transformation, and identified himself with the spirit of the century. We will make no other reflections in the presence of the tomb in which the old general is about to descend. In 1815 he went about Paris with five cockades in his hat, as the Moniteur of those days relates; and the cos mopolitism which he then displayed had a signification which no doubt he did not divine, but which had a pro phetic character. The union of nations, whose symbols he wore, tends every day to become a truth." The Debats gives a short biography of the Duke without comment. The Assembles National, the Union, and the Univers merely give the telegraphic dispatch announcing the death. The Government has received the following tele graphic dispatches : " Bourges, Sept. 14, 11 o'clock at night.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export and on speculation. The market was tame but closed firmly; American were a shade higher, other kinds without alteration. The stiles comprised 6,000 American, 150 Pernam and Maranham at 6id. to 6id., 30 Bahia at 6id., 150 Egyptian at 6id. to Bd., and 500 Surat at 34d. to 44d. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at lower prices. In most articles of consumption there has been a good business done this week, and prices have been fully sup ported for sugar, Ceylon coffee, tea, rice, &c. The con sumption goes on steadily. A merchant ship, the Ilelaae, has arrive from Port Philip, but her advices are not of such late date as those previously to hand. In the ordinary course, unless the India mail anticipates it, we ought now to expect later news by sailing vessels, and in November the steamer of the Royal Australian Mail Company will be back. It is then that we shall , in all prob a bi l i ty, have important information concern. ing the gold mines, because the staffs of some of the companies, sent out at an early period will have got to work, and be enabled to form an opi nion as to their future success. Under proper manage ment, indeed, no one can doubt of this, but the public will very naturally be anxious to have facts and results, and, quiescent as they may be at pre sent, they would manifest great ardour, wo may assume, as they usually do when a rich reward appears to invite. The true policy, however, seems to bo to purchase when securities rule low rather than after they have risen, provided investigation has satisfied the party buying that the depression has not arisen from any other cause than mere inertness, misapprehension, or timidity. The Overland Mail is telegraphed with Calcutta dates of August 8, but we have no details yet. The letters for America will be taken out to-morrow by the steamer Canada. From Amsterdam, under date of the 15th inst., we aro informed that the business transacted in Dutch Stock was at about previous rates, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 64/. Spanish Bonds were rather firmer; Portuguese very feeble, and Russian steady. Stocks are looking better here this morning, but with as little doing in them as for some days past. Consols have been 99' 4 1 to par for Transfer, and 99i. a for Ac count. Exchequer-bills of March were at 745. premium, and India Bonds at 84s. premium. East India Stock was at 227, and Bank Stock at 228. Some of the Foreign investments are again rather fluctuating, the settlement of the half-monthly ac count being in progress. Brazilian Old Stock has been at 103} to 104. Mexican are firmer at 25k, and Grenada Deferred keep steady at 12i 4. Portuguese Four per Cents. have again realised 384 to 39k, and Spanish New Deferred, 231 The Turkish Loan has not been higher than 941 to 8. Danish, French, and Dutch Stock have been comparatively dull. The Railway Market has been more buoyant, and tho circumstance of the account being got through seems to be in their favour. Belgian and French shares have been very brisk. Gold Mines are steady. The Mutual are I, and the Cordillera about i premium. United Mexican have risen about 11. Oonaols *GO Go• Ditto Account.

The long- GERMANY. expected Royal decree respecting the for mation of the First Chamber of Prussia was published on the 12th. I t enacts that that Ch am b er shall con sist of 120 members ; of whom 90 are to be nomi nated by the electoral colleges, and 30, representing the great towns, by the Communal Councils. The Dumber of electors in each college is to be 30 for every member to be elected ; and the electors are to be those persons who in each district pay the highest amount of direct taxes. To be eligible, a candidate must be 40 years o f ar , mus t have belonged during five Years at least to Prussia, must be domiciled in the place in which the election is made, and must possess all the qualifications required in communal elections. The session of the provincial diets of Brandenburg and Pomerania, in Prussia, was opened on the 13th. The President, in an opening speech, intimated that the most important subjects to be examined are the cantonal and communal laws, which are about to be submitted to the definitive sanction of the Legis lature. The Cologne Gazette states that the Military Com mission, charged by the Austrian Government to make a report on the forces of the Germanic Confe deration, has drawn up its report, and that it contains details as to the disposable force that Germany would possess to resist any attempt at invasion by 1 ranee. According to the Cologne Gazette, the report estimates the amount of the army that France could send against Germany at 500,000 men, and states that the Germanic Confederation has also 500,000, but that 200,000 of these would be required by Austria for the protection of Italy. The Cologne Gazette adds that some of the states of the German Confederation have recommended an augmentation of 150,000 men, but that Prussia and Austria object to any increase, regarding the present force as quite sufficient under existing circumstances. This journal does not state from what source it derives its infor mation, and our readers will probably do well not to attach implicit credit to it. A letter from Vienna says :—" From the Ist of October next the mails between Austria and France will no longer be sent by Vienna, Inspruck, and Bale, but by Vienna, Leipsic, Frankfort, Carlsruhe, and Strasburg. They will thus arrive thirty-six hours sooner." OVERLAND MAIL We have received the subjoined intelligence by electric telegraph, via Marseilles : MARSEILLES, SEPT. 15, HALF-resT 9 P.M.

It has already b to-morrow purpose. ornin Mr. Holland, the undertaker, has received the necessary di re ctions for the re moval of the body , and intends leaving London this evening in order to carry out his instructions. The will has been opened, and it has b een found that his Grace has expressed a e wish that his mortal remains may be disposed of as the Sovereign may direct; and under these circumstances it is not difficult to suppose what will be the decision of her Majesty upon the subject. The public funeral of the de ceased hero will doubtless be conducted on a scale of great magnificence. It is supposed that his Grace's remains will be brought from Walmer Castle to Apsley House by a special train along the South-Eastern Railway.

THE OVERLAN D M AIL. — ACCIDENT TO THE A USTRIA N LLOYD'S STEAMER AusTRALIA.—ThO A nze i ger Zeitung of Sept. 11 has the f ollowing :—.‘ We have just re ceived intelligence t hat the ne w Lloyd's steamer Australia, that which set out on her first voyage to Alexandria on the 27th of last month, met with an accident. After having per formed the voyage to Corfu in an unusually short time (38 hours), the left wheel unfortunately broke, on the 30th, just as the vessel had reached Cape Crio, in Caudia, and she was therefore obliged to return to Corfu, where she landed her passengers and the mail, to wait there for the next steamer. Unhappily, this delay will likewise affect the Netherlands mail, which was forwarded by the Australia, and we must be content with receiving our news from India and China, in this solitary instance, happily, by way of Marseilles, in stead of receiving it as usual on the 20th. An old legend, however, current among seamen, accounts for the accident— though not exactly upon scientific principles. The accident mainly occurred because the Australia left Trieste on a Friday, and had, moreover, a Franciscan monk on board— s combination most assuredly enough to sink the vessel." DEATH OF THE CENTENARIAN, JAMES COLEMAN, OF ST. MARTIN'S-IN-THE - F IELDS.—Thi s very old man departed this life, in full possession of his faculties, on Wednesday evening, at half past seven o'clock, h av i ng at tained the great age of 102 years 7 months.

ROYAL BUCKS AGRICULTURAL ASSOCIATION. —The annual dinner of the members and subscribers of the Royal Bucks Agricultural Association was held yesterday, at the Swan and Castle Inn Buckingham. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was to have been present, but Mr. Howard, the secretary of the society, received a letter from the Right Hon. Gentleman, stating that it would be impossible for him to attend, as he was so overwhelmed with business pre paratory to the approaching session of Parliament, that he could not spare a moment either for health or recreation. The Right Hon. Gentleman enclosed a cheque for the " Disraeli Prize," and also for his annual subscription. Mr. Box (the Mayor of Buckingham) occupied the chair, and the attendance of members was very numerous. After the usual loyal toasts had been disposed of, the rewards to farm. servants were distributed, and the judges made their awards in favour of the successful competitors in the pl6ughing matches, &c.
