Fortunately for the people of England, the apathy of the Legislature does not appear to diminish the enterprise of individuals. Were it otherwise the country woull be destined, we fear, to witness very little improvement either in the social or political condition of the general community. As illustrative of our meaning u p on t hi s po i nt, i t i s on l y necessary to remind the public of the extraordinary progress made in the sanitary movement - , during the last sixteen or seventeen years, h ,pito of the apparent indiffer ence of the Parliament and of the lamentable procras tination of the Gover oment. Although officially i no thing practical in the desired dir ec ti o n h as b een yet accomplished, the reyition ha; been so widely agitated and so perseverin g l y explained, so enforced by argument and re-enforced by statistl ea l revela tions, that there is perhap no other snhject of equal .:.impurtance more ccnipleterly or thor oug hl y under stood by the population. This fact has been recog nised, indeed, only very recently, by the leader of the lusting Cabinet Scarcely a month bas elapsed since ! the Earl of DERBY alluded to the necessity for some immediate and comoreheosive sanitary innovations as a matter of utual notoriety. Now, we would simply inquire, how does it come to pass that such is the case with the Ministry inactive, and the Legisla ture negligent ? It comes exclusively from the humane efforts of pri v at e we ll-wishers of the community! It arises entirely from the benevolent assiduity of those very philanthropists who are usually spoken of by men of business and members of Administrations as fantastic dreamers, or crackbrained enthusiasts. To the efforts of these large-hearted and industrious bene factors of the community, are the people indebted for the exposure of evils which, but for their beneficent perseverance, might have remained unnoticed and unsuspected. Foremost among all the sanitary re formers we have always placed, and must always continua to place, Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the man who first revealed the atrocious abomina tions of intramural interments. By his per sonal exertions in collecting evidence of those very horrible practices, and by his numerous works, recounting the result of his singularly repulsive in vestigations, he first opened the eyes of the people to the demoralizing influence and the desolating atmo sphere in the midst of which the sin and the disease in our larger cities are engendered. In this manner he may be said to have originated the sanitary move ment as indisputably as COLUMBUS originated the scheme of navigating the waters of the Atlantic. To his endeavours, and the endeavours of those who have emulated his proceedings, we owe the disclosure of facts such as must eventually lead to some very extra- ordinary improvements. Meanwhile the Press, it must be admitted, has been not altogether inactive. Scercely a journal pubs lished in the United Kingdom has refrained from la , bowing in the good cause, disseminating by this means truths of the most beneficial tendency through out the population. Provincial as well as metropo litan organs have participated in this advocacy of the required innovation. At first one or two almost so litary voices were heard—the cry was then gradually taken up in other directions—and ultimately the principal portion of the fourth estate may be said to have broken out into a chorus of unanimity. For ourselves, we may maintain without arrogance our right to the credit of having from the outset insisted upon the necessity of carrying out the proposed changes with rapidity and comprehen siveness. Yet, up to the present moment, notwith standing the arduous labours of Mr. G. A. WALKER, notwithstanding the assiduous efforts of the Press, both provincial and metropolitan, nothing whatever of importance has been Effected for the diminution of the evils complained of, or for the preven tion of the continuance of these long ex posed intramural abominations. Insomuch so, that the Great Delineator of human Life, the most popular Author of his Age, CHARLES DICKENS, can write in his new story, Bleak House, page 106, when recording the funeral of Nemo, that the beadle, with his pauper company, " hears off the body of our dear brother here departed, to a hemmed.in churcbyare, pestiferous and obscene, whence malignant diseases are communicated to the bodies of our dear brothers and sisters who have not departed ; while our dear brothers and sisters who hang about official back-stairs—would to Heaven they had departed !—are very complacent and agreeable." Thus, continues the Master-No velist, "Into a beastly scrap of ground which a Turk would reject as a savage abomination, and aKafir would shudder at, they bring our dear brother, here departed, to receive Christian burial." Yet more accurate, if possible, is the de scription which follows—a description as exact in its verisimilitude as it is noble and persuasive in its elo quence:—" With houses looking on, on every side, save where a reeking little tunnel of a court gives access to the iron gate—with every villany of life in action close on death, and every poisonous ele ment of death in action close on life—here they lover our dear brother down a foot or two : here sow him in corruption, to be raised in corruption : an avenging ghost at many a sick bedside: a shameful testimony to future ages how civilization and barbarism walked this boastful island together. Come night," he cries, " come darkness, for you cannot come too soon, or stay too long, by such a place as this ! Come, straggling lights, into the windows of the ugly houses; and you who do ini quity therein, do it at least with this dread scene shut out ! Come, flame of gas, burning so sullenly above the iron gate, on which the poisoned air deposits its witch-ointment, slimy to the touch ! It is well that you should call to every passer - by, 'Look here !' " Solemn words, and very touching and beau tiful in their solemnity—words through which Genius has acknowledged that the horrors of Fiction may be enhanced and rendered yet more fearful by the grim and sordid horrors of Reality. Everywhere, indeed, it would appear, there is the recognition of a necessity for sanitary improvements, saving and excepting within the walls of the Impe rial Legislature. Everywhere the atrocity of the system of intramural interment is appreciated, everywhere the perils of its evil consequences are understood, saving and excepting always within the hallowed precincts of the Parliament. A Metropoli tan Interment Bill, it is true, has been passed, and efforts have subsequently been made to bring about the possibility of its amend ment ; but hitherto the enactment, as we ourselves predicted from the first, has proved wholly and lamentably inoperative. A commission i n n o t d h o e u n b f a t h e b a e n e i d n d n r s a t w a ng d . r d n u o :i n Il3 g o f t h G e w l a y s few yrH y o e u a s r e s , but hitherto without any other result that can be seen, but the printing of many pounds weight of blue books filled to repletion with an interminable and fruitless correspondence. These peculiarities, both on the part of the Legislature and on the part of the Government, should, we submit, be borne very carefully in the remembrance of the electors on the the occasion of the ensuing dissolution of the House of Commons. Upon the Sanitary Question, not less than on the Free-trade Question, or the Parliamen tary Reform Question, or the Financial Retrenchment Question, or the Education Question, the possessors of the franchise should be curious and vigilant. They should evince no negligence upon this head in their cross-examination of the various candidates. For upon the settlement of the demand for sanitary inno- vations, and first of all, of course, for the great and exigent innovations relating to intramural interments, depends, possibly, for the next seven years, the comfort, the morality, the health, nay, the very existence of a large portion of the community. How far we are accurate in so speaking, may be comprehended when we remark, in addition to what has been already here observed, that upon the state of the City grave-yards, or up on the trtatment of what has been (in a two-fold sense) aptly called the "Dead Man's Question," depends in a frightful manner the amount of the annual mortality.

London: Ridgway, 1852. serious social drag on those other portions of our empire, where a population pe .-4:-.sing the essential requirements of civiiization support, by a well directed industry, the dignity and honour of a great national name." And it is observable, that in the Northern Highlands, Ross, Sutherland, and Inver ness, where the Celt is considerably modified by a Scandinavian or Saxon admixture, no such appalling distress h to be heard of as that witnessed in the west. But the grand root of the evil is to be found in the policy, or rather want of policy, of the landed proprietors. That class have, through a long and steady course of bad management, brought themselves to pretty much the same pass as the Irish landlords. It is a fact that the landed property in the Highlands is at the present moment burdened to the extent of upwards of 75 per cent—the average amount of burden over the whole of Ireland prior to the operation of the Encumbered Estates Act. It is manifestly impos sible that men mortgaged and encumbered chin deep can, even with the best intention, aid or assist, them selves impoverished, their impoverished tenantry and dependants. The landlord cannot, in self-defence, with a fearful amount of yearly interest gnawing at his vitals, afford to make a remission of rent in bad years. He cannot in this manner supply the tenant with capital to enable him to use those proper and necessary ap pliances for the requisite cultivation of the soil. " Necessity on the part of the landlord to keep up his annual interest, forces him to exact the pound of flesh from the tenant, and from a certain peculiar attachment which the Celtic people, beyond any other, seem to have for the soil of their birth, they are induced, year after year, to submit to the hard terms, rather than remove to some other lo cality, where, possibly, a new mode of industry might be opened up for them." But, as in this unnatural state of things, matters must be becoming daily worse, the unhappy tenant, before any great distance of time, goes to utter ruin. Would not, then, the adoption of such a measure as is in Ireland, rescuing properties from the impotent hands of over-involved proprietors, introduce a new class of landlords, and so tend to effect that infusion of Anglo. Saxon blood, under whose influence the capabilities of those dis tricts would receive a sure development ? The in gress of capitalists being thus facilitated to the Western Highlands, employment would be afforded to the resident natives, and encouragement would be given, by the demand for labour, for the settlement of lowland labourers among them also. Thus would the commencement of mixture of blood be established, and in a generation or two we might expect to see a people arise combining the best qualities of the two races, and much of the misery of an interesting por tion of the empire become a matter of tradition. The great territorial noblemen, who are still men of wealth, are likewise reprehensible for a proper want of public spirit and regard to their dependants' interests, and to which is to be mainly attributed the inattention on the part of the Imperial Government to assist by legislation the development of the natural resources of this portion of the kingdom. There could be nothing better calculated to improve the industrial capabilities of the Highlands than bringing the Lowlands into prompt and easy communication with the principal highland towns—and those industrial capabilities are very great ; for in stance, the establishment of railway communication from Oban to Glasgow would be the means of con veying every species of industrial produce from the remotest quarter of the Highlands to the Lowlands, in the space of four hours, the line passing through districts susceptible of the greatest possible improve ment. Yet it is evident that a scheme necessarily promising a remuneration more remote than would be the case in more cultivated regions, is not likely to be taken up by private speculators. Neither is it to be expected that the entire cost would be incurred by Government. A considerable period would of neces sity elapse before the traffic could become sufficiently extensive to yield a return for the outlay of capital. In the meantime the measure could only be regarded, not in the light of a pecuniary speculation, but as a political attempt to improve the social position of a hitherto neglected and wretched district. Such an attempt would be eminently worthy of Government, but the impetus should emanate from, as well as a cordial co operation be afforded by, the great landed proprietors, who derive their wealth from the extreme poverty of their dependants. They it is who are the natural guardians of a poverty-stricken population, and it is their bounden duty to foster the interests of those humble and attached friends by whom they are sur rounded, performing their duties as " trustees of land for the behoof of the people," and abandon ing that apathy which has freezingly retarded the advance in social comfort of the whole population of the Western Highlands. A speedy wholesale revolution in the proprietorship of land is probably after all the sole effectual remedy for the unfortunate state of things there. Emigra- tion is of course a great relief but not a radical cure in such an exigency. " Emigration can only be a temporary alleviation of the injurious effects of a redundant population. The population of the Western Highlands is not redundant, but the,reverse. To be efficacious to any community it is necessary that those left behind have ample means of employ ment. What beneficial effects can emigration in duce to an agricultural district of country where there is neither capital nor energy amongst any class to carry on any settled course of industry whatever ? To be of use in pro moting the effect intended, there must of ne cessity be an emigration of landlords as well as of people. The miseries of the latter are so unquestion ably the result of the mismanagement of the former that the mere removal of the minor evil, while the greater is allowed to exist, can only serve to coun tenance and perpetuate a system which an examina tion into facts demonstrates to be barbarous." THE weseme ti Q ea U e E bac E k N ga Gs v F e a T n H a E c o S u n O t U o T f H t h . e trial trip of the General Screw Steam-ship Company's new vessel the Queen of th e S ou th to the NreLig Light, which proved highly satisf ac t or y, d ur i ng which she attained an average speed of ten an d a h a lf miles Per hour. We have since personally inspected her in the East India Docke, when, through the courtesy of Mr. Ford, the superintendent of the company, and Capt. Hyde, her commander, from whom we received every attention, we were enabled minutely to inspect the various arrangements for the comfort of the passen gers. In our former notice we described fully the dimensions of this splendid steamer, we will there fore only mention a few particulars which the Captain kindly furnished us with, and those which we our selves observed. She was built by Messrs. Mare and Co., and is a very fine specimen of iron shipbuilding. She is divided into seven watertight and fire-proof compartments, an uausuilly large number, which must prove a great security in case of accidents similar to those of the Amazon or Birkenhead. Had the Birkenhead been similarly constructed, it is probable that, the damage being confined to a small e r space, the ship might still have floated, and so gr ea t a loss of human life pre vented. Her engines, which are of 300 horse power, were constructed by Maudslay, and are on the direct action principle, by which means the shaft of the screw is brought into direct connection with the engines, whereby a great reduction is made in the complication and space occupied by the machinery, which, by this contrivance, is almost entirely below the water line. Her small horse power, which is but, three hundred, enables her owing to the consequent economy of fuel, to continue under steam for a longer period than would other wise be the case. The following are a few particulars which we received from Mr. Ryder, her chief engineer : Diameter of cylinder, 55 inches ; length of screw shaft, 23 feet 6 inches ; pitch of screw, 17 feet. Several important improvements have been made in the machinery, which we stated in our impression of the 17th ult. The Queen of the South is fitted up with every possible care and attention to the comforts of passengers ; she has accommodation for 130 ; is lofty between decks; can stow 600 tons of coal, and 800 tons of cargo. She is a remarkably fine vessel of upwards of 1,800 tons. Her bulwarks are remarkably high, and slant inwards, affording thus convenient protection to the passengers during bad weather. She will sail on the 10th instant for Ply mouth, from which port she will take her final de parture for the Cape on the 15th : and, in fine, we return Captain Hyde our thanks for his politeness and attention ; and wish him and his passengers a prosperous end pleasant voyage. THE ARMY.—We understand that orders have been issued for the 40th Regiment to prepare for embarkation from Cork for Australia, and that in consequence the 15th will remain at Ceylon, and the 59th at Hong-Kong, it having bee❑ previously arranged that the MI should proceed ti China, and the 59th to Australia. THE FRENCH REPUBIA We have received the Paris parrs of yesterday. There is a long article in the Pays on the Bill for preventing the agglomeration of dangerous characters in Paris and Lyons. The Pays expresses a fear that, if this Bill were to be adopted in its present shape, it might lead to consequences injurious to natural rights, and which are not in the intention of the framers, but it admits to the fullest extent the necessity of legislation on the subject, and recommends modifica tions of the measure with the view of rendering it conclusive as well as just. It says in conclusion : " The examrla of England, pointing to in the expose des motifs, apars to us to offer a system capable of satisfying at the same time the wants of society and the rights of justice. The Act of George IV., therein mentioned, gives the constable the power of arrest ing, without my previous order or warrant, every idle or disorderly parson who disturbs the public peace, or who is suspected of evil designs, as well as every in dividual found from sunset to eight in the morning lying down, or ,wandering about, on the public way, and not able to given, satisfactory account of himself. All these facts are subject to penalties which the magistrate can apply. Wh7 should not the same system be adopted in France? There would w.) doubt be an additional category of oflences in our laws, but social interest would be safegtarded as it deserves to be without the principle of the separation of the powers being compro mised. Such a Course would constitute a compromise alike feasible, tfficient, and useful to public safety, and to the liberty a each; and which, in our opinion, would above all have the great advantage of taking away from the intended measure, in the eyes of the public, the character of a measure exclusively poli tical." The PRINCE PRESIDENT will, it is said, take up his residence at St. Cloud almost immediately, and will remain there until his journey to the South. The receptions and Cabinet councils will be held at the Tuileries. M. DE PERSIGNY, the Minister of the Interior, is about to take a leave of absence of ten days. M. LEFFBPRE-DURLIFLE, the Minister of Public Works, will, by decree of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, dated yesterday, carry on the business of his department in his absence. M. DE PERSIGNY has left Paris fur Fon tainebleau. M.PRANCOI3 CHAMBOLLE, son of the ex-repre sentative, has addressed a letter to the journals con tradicting a report that his father was about to publish an Oriental journal at Genoa in conjunction with M. MARTINET. He states that his father is not at Genos, and th a t h e h a d no i ntent i on o f h av i ng any thing to do with any journal, and that he believes the report is equally unfounded with regard to N. MARTINET. General Count DE GOYON has recently pardoned, in the name of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, seven per sons in the department of the Loire who had been condemn e d b y the m i xed comm i ss i on to transporta tion to A!gerit, or to be sent out of the department.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 500 American and 500 Surat were taken for export, and 100 American on speculation. The market closed very firmly with prices of all kinds 1-16 d. per lb. dearer. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranham at kid. to 69d., 600 Egyptian at 65d. to Bd., and 1,000 Surat at 3d. to 4id. per lb.—Railway Shares were dull at rather lower prices. In reporting upon the state of the Indigo and dry saltery, as well as the general markets, during the past montb, Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewsbury remark that there has been considerable activity and that advanced prices have been readily obtained. The Continental de mand has been good. As to the stocks they have been increased by large arrivals. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. Bd. per quarter, and the last week's sales officially returned were 90,158 quarters. Now shipping is being so freely taken up for Antra lien emigration, statistics bearing upon the probable supply of vessels are interesting. It has long been stated that a large number of vessels have lain idle at San Francisco, owing to the desertion of crews, but as the excitement wears off, the seamen evince less dis position to abandon their favourite occupation, and those who have made money at the " diggins" are anxious to work their way back. In this case we may assume that the number of ships in California is much smaller than it was. Another matter, however, that has to be considered is, whether craft of a very inferior class was not sent to San Franoisco upon the assumption that they would have to he left to rot there, and if this be so, they are not fit for the conveyance of emigrants. Inquiry and experience alike tend to satisfy ua that there will be plenty of vessels available, and although the owners and brokers will naturally exert themselves to " make hay while the sun shines," and push up their charges as much as possible, competition will prevent any serious hindrance to emigration. The Government agent at the port of London has his hands fall, and among recent examples of his vigilance, we are pleased to re cord the fact of port-holes having been ordered to be cut in a first-class clipper vessel, adapted perhaps more for speed than passenger accommodation. In corroboration of the view we take that ships are getting sway from California, we may call attention to the subjoined table of the cemmerce of San Francisco during January, February, and March, which shows more departures than arrivals, especially of United States' vessel. ..
