F. FERGUSON CAMROI7I, See, COURT OF COMMON - COUNCIL. Yestordsy a Court was held for the despatch of pub lic business. The paper of business presented a long list, but the subject of greatest interest was a p:om'.sed motion for the consideration or the propriety of providing better abodes for the working classes. The galleries were crowded with a most respectable auditory. ' The Court was occupied for a length of time in discus sing the merits of a petition from the rector, church wardens, and parishioners of St. James, Duke's-place, for aid in the purchase of an organ. It was contended by those who advocated the p4i tion, that as the churches of the rich parishes of the City were supplied with organs, it would be invidious to deny to the poor parishes the advantage of church mu sic—a luxury of the most pure and exquisite description, and not calcuLtel, like luxuries of another kind, to draw away the mind from the contemplation of the most sublime objects. By the opponents to he petition it was objected, that as the parish of St. James, Duke's place, was an indigent parish, it would be v.ry cruel in the Court to aid it in the purchase of an organ, for the possession of such a luxury would entail upon the poor parishioners a heavy annual expenditure in the shape of an organist ; that., after all, 'the music of the human voice, eloquently uttering the poetry of the Church in full harmony, far exceeded the music of the pipes and whistles of the:mec'eanical instrument ; and that if the Corporation had established a precedent by acceding to the requests of the parish of St. Peter's, Cornbill, and other affluent parishes, for similar indulgences, the cor poration had a very powerful argument for their acqui escence in the very considerable sums of money paid in the form of rates, &e. • The petition was rejected by 54 to 42. petition THOMAS DEW JONES, otherwise WIL TAM JONES.—TEN POUNDS REWARD will be paid to any parson giving Information of THE PRESENT ABODE of the above named Person, or proof of his loath. He left the house of his brother, Mr. George Edward Jones, in the neighbourhood of White chapel, Londoli, some time in the month of June, 1842, and has not since been heard of by his friends. Ile was then about seventeen years of age, five fzet six inches high, with sandy-coloured hair, and grey eyes, was much freckled, and very stout. About 1841. he was in the employment of a farmer at Ongar,- in Essex; and in the beginning of 1842 he was in zervice at the White Swan Inn, To.- tenham, Middlesex, and was called Bill Jones.

Besides, it was to be borne in mind that fever was only one of many complaints arising from a vitiated atmosphere. It appeared, from indisputable calculation, that the class of artisans, instead of attain ing the average of forty-one years, were cut off at nine teen, thus losing fifteen years of existence, and including in that, the loss of fifteen years of -productive labour to :society. In the ward of Furringdon Without, the habi tations f the poor were in the most deplorable.condttion. Behind the finest streets, with their magnificent plate glass windows, displaying the Most costly productions of the earth, was to be found a revolting mass of filth and misery, which it was impossible to describe. In liol born they had Field-lane, and its shocking courts. On the other side they had Phuntree•court, with 600 inha bitants in twenty-eight houses, the houses not averaging more than four rooms each. The rooms were but eight feet in ighth and width, and the average of occupants was six persons to each room, while the lospectors of Prisons allowed a room of ten feet to every individual prisoner. The houses in the court were built back to back, and the cellars, which contained an accumulation of every filth, acre never cleaned out.—(Hear, hear.) From these nests of pestilence were hourly issuing poisonous gases, fatal to animal life. They need but enter a newly-painted room, to find how soon substances suspended in the air imperceptibly entered and impreg nated the fluids of the body. So fatal was the poison to which he yfluded, that medical men were afraid of . . applying a blister to a patient, from the fear it would rui, into a mortification. The mortality arnoegst children was apalling ; and the ravages made by a!1 the pre-, ventible diseases, exceeded what the most powerful Ulla-. ginstion could conceive. Similar close courts, in an qually bad state, were to be found off Fleet-street. In the Old Bailey there were nine courts, all without sewers. Conta•gion was never absent. In pl u kllear-alley, w l,4) ! was on!y two iaids wide, .aidlad bit five loti-Ts; ht: had himself attenc'ed, in one summer, forty cases of typhus. By the census return the average in England and Wales was five persons to each house. but in John's• court, and Crown and Phce:dx-court, Fleet-street, he found in flirt e-roomed houses eighteen people to each house. In some of the dens called lodging-houses, he had found six beds in a room, with two and three per-, sons in each bed, at twopence a head. In Fetterlane there were 2,000 inhabitants to 145 houses ; and in Plough-court, in thirty houses, there was an ex• . cess of 400 over the healthy standard, and no sewers to mitigate the impurities. The number of occupants in a house might bt• taken as a good criterion of their circumstances. There were twice as many residents in the wretched hovels as in the better class of lanes ; and it was exactly where it was ;lost wanted that there was the greatest want of every sanatory pro vision. Both physical and moral deterioration were the inevitable consequences of all that misery. The children grew up of diminished stature, of weaker fibre, and so devastating was the effect of these injurious agen cies that a fourth generation was a phenomenon seldom or ever to be met within the blasting circle of their in fluence. How few of the Court of Aldermen were na tives of London ! how few of that Court were the sons or grandsons of natives I not one-half. London ab sorbed the strength of the country in body and mind, and at the end of the third generation, in came another influx of new blood to supply the place of that which had been vitiated and exhausted. That the morals of the people were contaminated by such means was equally undeniable. Mr. Adams, the Chairman of the Clerken well Sessions, had declared from the judgment seat that such places were haunts of crime, and that where there was a large number of poor families crowded together, every feeling of modesty, of Morality, and even of decency was utterly abandoned. He preferred sending juvenile culprits to prison, than to those hotbeds of crime, those nurseries- of thieves and prostitutes. The Lord Mayor had shown an anxiety to make the school supersede the gaol, and by doing so he would render his Mayoralty more distinguished and meliorable than by any display of pageantry or profusion with which he could possibly invest it.. To mitigate the evils so inadequately de scribed, they naust in the first place, provide a constant and unlimited supply of wa t er t o th e poor. They inust ehut up the wretched hovels which generated disease, and appropriate some of their vast revenue to accommO date the poor with cheap, well-drained, and well-venti lated cl.vellings. Of the 125 who died daily in London, fewer than nine died of old age. The supply of water in London was a gross monopoly in the hands of a private company, and their charge was most exorbitant. Dr. Lynch here exhibited the prospectus of a company, with Lord Francis Egerton as chairman, and Mr. Baring and Mr. Jones Lloyd as trustees, which was ready to furnish the metropolis with filtered water, 40 gallons per diem to each house, at the rate of twopence a week, or seven shillings a year. That was no speculation ; it had been successfully tried in Nottingham, Greenock, Paisley, Ayr, Glasgow, Preston, Philedslphia, and New York, and was now ready to be applied to London, if the citi zens, or those who acted in their behalf, would only give their sanction to the undertaking. Amongst the many wise dispensations of Providence, there was none that more •clearly indicated its divide. origin than the inti mate connexion which sub.,isUd between our interest and our duty. Whatever was best calculated to promote the well-being of the huroan family, would be found to be the most economical in the end. On the contrary, whatever violated a sanatory law, or t nded to produce suffering amongst any portion of the people, would be found to operate injuriously upon the rest. There was a bond of union between the different classes which rend. red it an act of common prudence, as well as of humanity, to observe the condition and provide for the comforts of those who stood . .lowest in the social scale. Humanity, economy, public duty, good policy, called upon them to protect the public health. Without health the labourer must become a pauper. It was his capital, his stock in trade, his fortune ; and society was bound to protect it for him. Ancient cities, once the envy of surrounding nations, had fallen because they did. not secure their permanency by providing for the hap piness and improvement of the masses.—(Cheers.) The interest of the labouring man ought to be an object of endearing interest with the members of that Court. By labour they lived—by labour they had won wealth and distinction amongst their fellow-citizens. By labour the country had obtained, within the last fifty years, a mechanical power eq ua l t o th e l a bour of five hundred millions of human beings. London boasted to be the centre of civilisation ; the mighty heart of the political frame, whose siz s and wealth, whose pomp and commerce, had gathered within its limits all that could contribute to the wants and pleasures of mankind. He referred to this picture of its greatness and glory,ln order to contrast it with the deep disgrace of having such hovels as homes for the protective classes in the very heart of the first city of the first empire of the world.—(Cheers.) lle hoped, however, that they would now act a part more consistent with their honour ; that having done so much for the ornamental they would at length do something for the useful, and lay the founda tion of a good work, for which the press would praise them, the people would bless them, and their own con sciences would reward them as benefactors of the poor and the afflicted.—(Cheers.) Dr. Lynch concluded by moving that the petition be referred to the Improvement Committee. Mr. ANDERTON stated he seconded with the highest pleasure the motion of 1)r. Lynch, after whose admirable speech it could not be expected that he could say much. In all that had fallen from the lips of the mover, he most heartily concurred, and he hoped the proposition would be unanimously adopted. He had, within the last eight weeks, visited, several of the wretched places which the professional occupation and the indefatigable exertions of Dr. Lynch had made that gentleman familiar with ; and he confessed that his astonishment was only equalled by his compassion for the unhappy inmates.—(Hear, hear.) He rejoiced that such an appeal had been made to the Court on behalf of the poor but powerful claim ants upon, their consideration ; but notwithstanding the vivid description which they had just heard, they must accompany Dr. Lynch on his " circumnavigation of charity," to form a proper estimate of the arrors by which they were surrounded.--(Hear, hear,) In order to get rid of crime they n:ust assail it in its hot-bed, the densely crowded habitations of the poor. It was there that crime was engendered, and there they must go to rendei permanea service to those who were destitute of the means of in the slightest degree, improving their condition.—(Hear,' hear.) Mr. Kix° differed altogether from the gentleman who had just addressed the Court. He considered that the petition vas one which the Court could not for a mo ment entertain. It was, in fact, completely farcical to present it, with the expectation that anything like a compliance with its prayer could be given--(Murmurs). People were in the habit of taking credit to themselves f)r the inclination to do good. Although he was not one of those people, perhaps he was not less disposed to do good than any of them. He did not consider that his approbation of the measure proposed would be by any means evidence of his intention to render service to the Petitioners ; for, in fact, he looked upon their appeal as ridiculous and n onsensical.—(Laughter, and murmurs.) Why what could be more absurd than for these poor people to ask the Court of Common Council for places to dwell in ? They might very reasonably aptly to Parlia ment, but what on earth could the Corporation do ? (Cries of "Hear, hear," and murmurs.) They required that part of the 20,0001., which had been voted for distinct and specific purposes, should be given to make dirty people clean, to make wicked people holy, to bring about a millenium—to reform, in fact, the populous neighbourhood of Farringdon Without.—(A laugh, and loud expressions of disapprobation.) How could the Court think of entertaining a petition with such an ob ject? He was determined, for the sake of common sense, which was outraged by such an appeal, to give it his most strenuous opposition.—(A few cries of " Hear," drowned in strong expressions of dissent.) Mr. STEVENS said it was important to the working classes that the Court should manikstits sympathy with them.—(Hear, hear.) What the Court might be able to do was another thing. It had been mentioned that the petition had a visionary object. When it was said that cleanliness could be produced if the inmates of these wretched habitations were supplied with watt r, was that, he. would ask, .merely visionary?--(Hear.) Was it Merely a visionary good, if the tottering and miserable hovels which bounded the City wore pulled down and substituted by cottages in which cleanliness could, according to the statement of Doctor Lynch, be supplied at so cheap a rate?—(Hear, hear.) Whatever the Court might ultimately be able to do, it was at all events the duty of the Court to treat such an appeal, not with:silence, but with respect and attention. Mr. STACY said, that although he was not very sanguine in the expectations that all the petitioners asked for would be granted, still he trusted it was in the power of the Corporation to make an essential im provement in their condition.—(Hear, hear.) The Comthisaioners, of whom the benevolent Mr. Peacock • was the chairman, were, he knew, deeply interesting themselves for their poor fellow citizens.--(Cheers.) iTe hoped and he believed that they would take up the question in their way, and according to their capabilities, It was allowed on all hands that an abundant supply of water would eff_.ct a saii of revolution in the densely crowded lanes and a ll e y s of the City. If the Commis sioners of Sewers would begin by directing their labours amongst the inhabitants, in supplying them with the one great necessary of health, the good example would - be speedily followed, and all classes of the community would feel the blessing of the benefits.—(Erear, hear.) Sir JAMES DUKE (the Alderman of the Ward) paid the highest compliment to the talents, energy, and virtues of Doctor Lynch, and expressed a hope that the petition would be unaniinoudy referred to the Committee. After a few words in reply from Doctor Lynch, who was greatly cheered, the petition was agreed to by an unanimous majority, no more than three hands having been held up against it. INSTITUyION:OF CIVIL EN- GINEERS.---MAncx 10. (Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the chair.) The paper of the evening was an " Account of the Drops used for the shipment of Coals at Middlesborough on-Tee, with a description of the town and port of Mid dlesborough," by George Turnbull, M. Init. C. E. The communication first gave an account of the town of Middlchorough-on-Tees,and then &scribed the docks, ind the coal drops used there. „The rapid rise of the town into commercial importance was treated of and accounted for, chit fly by the fact of a branch having been constructed from the Stockton and Darlington Railway to Middlesborough, which, as a port for shipping, pos sessed many advantages over Stockton. As an example of this increased importance, it was stated, that the quantity of coals sent down the Stockton and Darlington Railway and shipped at Stick ton and Middleborough, in :825-26, was 7,926 tons ; and in 1840-41 it had in creased to the comparatively immense amount of 498,092, tons. The handsome manner in which 'the town was laid out and built, and its active manufactories, were also noticed. This commercial activity necessarily caused the want of a dock to be felt, and the present works were accord ingly executed. Vile approach to the dock was stated to be by a chan nel of more than a quarter of a mile in length, which was kept open by sluicing ; the entrance lock, built of stone, was 132 feet long by 30 feet wide, the area of the dock itself was about nine acres. The branch railway diverges from the Stockton and Darlington line, and terminates in ten double lines, lead ing to the ten coal drops. The manner of working the drops was thus described:—The loaded waggon is run on to a cradle or stage, which is arrested in a position immediately Over the hatchway of the vessel to be loaded; it is then let down perpendicularly, by means of counerbalance weights, and when it has nearly reached the deck of the vessel the contents are discharged into the hold; the counterbalance weights then preponde rate, and the empty waggon is raised to the level of the rails. At the ordinary rate of working, about thirty waggons can be discharged an hour by each drop. In a statement annexed to the paper, it is mentioned that in the year ending July 1, 1845, 505,486 tons of coals were shipped by means of the ten drops here described. The cost of the drops was 7,300/. The total outlay for the whole works amounted to 122,000/. These works were designed by Mr. W. Cubit, Vice-President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Mr. G. Turnbull being theacting engineer. Mr. Slemen's chronometric governor was exhibited, and after being explained to the meeting, its merits as a regulator of machinery were testified to by several gen tlemen who had used it for corn and other mills, and it was acknowledged to be very superior to the ordinary pendulum governor of Mr. Watt. The following paper was announced to be read at the meeting of Tuesday, March 17 : N. 734.—0 n the relation between the velocity and the resistance encountered by bodies moving in fluids, by J. M.

BENCRAFT IN VESPECT TO lIIS SADDLE We cannot do less than give the following, as corroborative of what is stated in the public announcement in respect to Mr. P.ancraft's invaluable patent. The authority we now quote will quiet the minds of the most sceptical, and prove that in the multitude of every-day improvements the march of the mind has in nothing . .else exceeded the patent now under our consideration : Croydon, March 4, 1846. Dear Sir,—lt is with peculiar pleasure that I tender the following remarks upon your - highly-important inventions, viz.:--" The Pa tent Thunes," and " Elastic Spring Saddle." For the last twelve- - months I have had the !tames almost in daily use, upon a variety of horses; my joarnies have been long, on roads of ti ariablo charactet% not. unfrequently has - big to ascend hills of unusual aelivities, coarsely ' , ravelled. These tests have per4ixtly-convin ,, ,,l me that toy hors , have receivcd . a 6.re , 4 1 b OOl 4- • The distinguished features of merit are thy cl , se a‘laptat ion 4. , IL., collar, and the nniformity of its presaora cpon all proper seais of bearin - , the patent 'tames, aahaitting of such a salutary division of the points, thereby not only affording increased facilities On' draught, but avoiding, all abrasion. These circumstances combined have a temlewy to diminish or re riove a bad habit acquired by some horses called heaving, or break - - ng into a sort of half canter, a sad bane with many otherwise good muggy horses. I am also able to bear testimony that by using your hawea galled shoulders may be healed in the inlil4 of work. Your elastic spring -saddle I have ridden upon, within the last nine months, some thousands of miles, the average number being from ten to fifteen miles per day upon the road, including two' days a week severe stag-hunting; the same saddle possessing the singular quality of fitting three of my horses. " I am of• opinion that concussion to the hunter carrying high weight is avoided in almost endless variety, during an arduous chase, owing to the construction of your elastic spring saddle re lieving the ridge 'of the spine from pressure, and diffusing or equalising the burden over a more extended muscular surface ; this must tell not only in speed, but I apprehend far more in a suc cession of difficult fencing, where the animal is-required, with the weight of his rider, 'first to elevate, secondly, to elongate, and thirdly, to land himsclf :irmly and judiciously. With such extraordinary denumds upon this noble aalmal's muscu lar powers, a diffusible spring, well arranged, must be a grand desi deratum to every sportsman's saddle.

LATE OUTRAGES at CAMBRIDGE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—You will al' ige b y allowing me to put a ques tion (through the medium of your journal) to Mr. Fisher and Captain Bailey—the case of assault being clearly proved against the Hon. G. Calthrop, why it was abandoned, and, for a similar offence, why was the other gentleman, Mr. Billy Moden, fined 10s. ? So long as outrages on public order and decency are thus connived at, and dealt with, what may we expect but a recurrence of such manifestations of aristocratical buffoonery, to the clanger and annoyance of every peaceable citizen. If the farce here acted is not an evasion of the law, and a corruption of the civil force, what is ? I am, Sir, yours respectfnlly, A MICITS PACIS, Durham, March 11, 1845.

The following petition from the Metropolitan Work ing Ciacscs' Association for Improving the Public Health, _ _ _ Humbly Showeth,—That the Corporation have set the example of applying a large, and, as your petitioners are informed, a sum of no less than 20,0001. per annum to the improvement of the City as a part of the me tropolis. That your petitioners ti ink the improvements goad in themselves ; that the widening of the streets is good as a means of ventilation ; that your petitioners admire wide and magnificent streets, and take priie in the im proved general aspect of the City and of the metropolis. But they humbly submit that whilst all is thus made fair and good to behold without, all should not be left foul and miserable within ; and that these benefits may be carried out otherwise than to the injury of the working classes, which effect has been and is now pro duced. Your petitioners aver, that by every old street occu• pied by the labouring classes, pulled down to form a new s:rset, the evil of over-crowding the existing. old streets, courts, and tenements, near the street pulled down, is generally aggravated. Your petitioners know that this effect was produced by the pulling down of houses to form the Farringdon Market. They know (and it is in evidence before the Commissioners for inquiring into the means of improv ing. the health of towns) that the like effect was pro duced by the pulling down old houses to form the Black wall Railway. They know that the like effect has been produced by the removal of the old and poor houses to form the new streets which traverse the site of St. Giles. Good new streets have b?en formed, but the poor po pulation of St. Giles's has been only wedged in more densely upon the poor. population of Seven Dials, and the bad made worse. Ycur petitioners see that new lines of railway .are 'proposed to be carried, some into the City of London, others through other parts of the metropolis, and that large numbers of old houses are to be pulled down, but they see no provision made, or consideration given, for building new ones for the accommodation of the poor people who cannot remove from their places of work. Your petitiOners pray, that whilst the Corp Oration de votes its funds to the formation of new and magnificent houses, it will, at the same time, exercise its power in building for the working:classes, at reasonable, and yet remunerative rents, improved tenements, in numbers equal to those pulled down, • and by so doing a benefit will be conferred, instead of an injury inflicted, on those whose condition most needs improvement. Your petitioners observe, with much satisfaction, that new large main sewers are in course ef construction down the main streets. They regret, however, to find that the streets occupied by the labouring classes are sti:l badly drained; that their houses are still left un - drained; and whilst in the new prisons, and for the use of prisoners, an apparatus of the nature of a water closet is provided, and a supply of water carried into each cell; the houses of the working classes are only provided with disgusting and unwholesome privies and cesspools, and have omy dear and bad supplies of water, kept stagnant in but in the yards, exposed to contami nation from soot and dust. Your petitioners further pray, that at the same time that drains for houses and sewers for streets are provided, your Honourable Court will exercise its power, and in fluence to procure a good constant supply of water, to make the drains and sewers to act, and constantly re move all accumulations of offensive matter, and to have such supplies carried at a cheap rate into every set of rooms occupied by honest and industrious labouring men, who are willing to pay a fair and reasonable rate for the accommodation, whereas the price now charged for bad supplies is proved to be more than three times the amount for which the supplies of a better description might be ensured. Your petitioners humbly represent that besides sewers' rates, payment of scavenging, and cleansing rates are made on account of most of the houses occupied by the labouring classes. That whilst their houses are badly drained, and the streets, in respect to which the owners or occupiers pay scavenging rates, are badly cleansed ; and that however the service of the scavenger may be contracted for, and paid for, the duty is rarely, if ever, properly done. Your petitioners beg leave to bring be. fore your notice the evidence in this respect of the medical officers, given in answer to the inquiries made under the authority of the Government, and appended to the Report on the Sanitory Condition of the Labour ing Population. The petition, after quoting the evidence of several ex perienced and scientific persons, concludes with praying the immediate attention of the Court to the object of the petitioners. Mr. KING requested to be informed, by one of the pe titioners who stood at the bar, who the chairman of the association was ? The petitioner replied that the chairman was the Bishop of London.—(Cbeers.) He gave equally satisfac tory answers to other questions. Dr. LYNCH stated that as the petitioners were work. ing men; and had been in waiting on three or four occa sions, in. the expectation that a question so vitally con cerning their interests would arise, and he thought the Court would neon the present occasion excuse the at tendance of more than one or two of their represen tatives. Several members expressed their entire satisfaction at the arrangement. Doctor Liercie expressed a hope that the appeal made to the Court would receive their countenance and sup• port. It was a subjeci of congratulation with every re flecting mind to see the working classes struggling to improve their social condition. It was one of the most gratifying results of the diffusion of useful knowledge, and one of the best signs of the times. That laudable endeavour had originated with their clear-headed brethren in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Dundee, where public meetings were called and resolutions adopted, which showed how well they understood the evils, and the means kit calculated to remove them. The deter mination to form similar associations in each of the great towns of this country had met with encouragement from the highest, the noblest, the most pious, and some of the most scientific in the land. —(gear, hear.) Ap pealing to the municipalities, to whom the guardianship of the public heed' essentially belonged, the petitioners alluded with gratitude to the noble streets constructed in the City, and he would take that .opportunity to acknowledge his obligations to Mr. R. L. Jones, and the Court of Common Council, for the generous spirit in which they had seconded his exertions in behalf of tl e suffering poor. To return to the petitioners, howver. They stated, with great truth, that the wants of thepoor who were dispossessed by the alterations had been en• tirely overlooked in the new arrangements.—(Hear, hear.) That was a great evil, and had a s t rong ten dency to aggravate all the evils arising from the ne glect of proper sanatory regulations, and affecting the comforts and even the lives of the working classes to an extent that would appear quite incredible, if it were not for the searching and well-digested investigations of the Parliamentary Commission for inquiring into the health of towns. — (Hear, hea r .) N o public man should be ignorant of the f ac t s di sc l osed by the labours of that Commission, or of th e i nva l ua bl e suggestion by which it proposed to alter a state of th i ngs melancholy and alarming• Within the last half century the proportion of the . agricultural an d the manufacturing population had been m ore t h an re versed. Half a century ago the proportion of agricul turists to manufacturers was as two to one. At present the portion of manufacturers to agriculturists was almost' three to one.—(Hear, hear.) Although with that in crease there had been a concurrent increase of wealth, and although every other class had been benefited by the march of science, no provision had be en ma d e f or t h e benefit of the working classes. The result was that one half of the children barn in Great Britain died before s ta 4 i s the average ng the young a th n e d y th r e ea o c l h d ed tog fi e v t e he 3 r . e , a t r i : en o t f 3 a „ g s e ix ; y ar e t a d r , at which people died in London, and seventeen in Li verpool. Five thousand died annually of diseases which might be prevented by proper precautions. Typhus e as Mr. Chadwick justly observed, carried off every year more than fell at the battle of Waterloo. —(Hear, hear.) In the middle ages six millions of peeple had been carried of in fiVe years by the plague; a bad form of typhus, but by the drainage of swamps, the adoption of sewers, and other improvements, that evil had been arrested. The gaol fever used to carry off the prisoners by hundreds, as if the angel of death bad smote them ; but by better arrangements that disease was extirpated, and the adoption of the plans suggested in the petition would soon mu& typhus a disease ~ ~~/ /' i / I • THE LAW OF ENTAIL IN SCOTLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " EDINBURGH ADVERTIER." The question of the justice and propriety of the present law of entail in this country, is one which is at the present time occupying a very considerable share of attention among those more immediately interested in the satisfactory adjustment of the question at issue. A meeting of landed proprietors, and o th ers, i s to b e held on Thursday in:theglopetoun Rooms, "for the purpose of considering the great national evils connected with the law as it now stands, and the propriety of an immediate application to the Legislature thereupon." For the pur poses of bringing the subject more fully before our readers, we give the followings extracts from a docu ment with which we have been favoured, entitled, " Me moir on Entails," and which ably discusses the subject in all its bearings. " All lands, entailed and unentailed, require a capital for management, contingencies, and improvement. En tails hurtfully withdraw this capital, and prevent even a credit on the lands for the most important benefits to the heir in possession, as well as to the public. The attempts to remedy this by Acts of Parliament have only been sufficient to show the admitted evil, not to cure it. Entails are a constant tutory, never advanc ing the possessor of the estate above the character of an heir, and keeping him in perpetual restraint ; where by it is necessary, for his interest, to strain every means in his power to the utmost, and to do the least possible good to others. No person can deal with pre fect safety with an entailed proprietor ; because he can not ...know how he is restrained, what security he can give for sums advanced, or engagements made. As little encouragement as possible is given for improve ments, and aids admitted or given, are often lost in the constant recurring conflict of necessities of heirs and executors en the death of each heir of entail. " As to the heir of entail himself, he is called to the succession burdened with every debt and obligation that can be charged against him, and with many debts which he has contracted, or been forced to contract, before his succession—not knowing, certainly, what right he has to the estates—and loaded with provisions to wives and children of his predecessor, which often exclude all power to benefit his own family, lle is likewise made to feel his nearest blood as a spy and complainer ; sod his son, freed from the salutary restraint of trey ribk from displeasing his par en t by rec kl essness and folly, often becomes disregardful.ot his own interestand the ip . . sea Wrests of his family, wed looks to the other members or it as little more than ineumbrances on him, w hid) much diminishes the natural affectien due to them, and makes them far more dependent than they ought to be. The parent may feel all this, anti see his younger children destitute of the position which they should be maintained in, but with no power to prevent it ; and further, see that an increase of the same evils wilt be transmitted by each succeeding heir, destroying every feeling of cow fort and independence, and rendering his title of en tail as if it had been made only to delude himself, and his heirs, and all around him ; reducing the considera tion and the usefuluess of the family in every way, and in many instances forcing the fiunily to leave the coun try, and take all their income Irate it to support them in the retirement of the Continent, completely vett anged from their own estate and neiOltrourhood, and from all a!tachment to their country. The whole, of Scotland is thus deeply poisoned, tmlearrassed, anti injured by en tails. The evil is rapidly increasing, and threatening to stagnate the fairest parts of the land, and to alienate the respect due to the proprietors of the country. " These miserable effects are said to be necessary to preserve the aristocre.cy of the land. Men who love their country, and wish to live on their estates, and to im prove and benefit all around them ; men naturally dis tinguished for vigour and soundness of mind ; men who naturally despise the idea of being kept from harm by leading. strings, and who would feel the honourable re sponsibility of preserving their station by the generous regard to what was due to their own high sense of duty to their ancestors, to their families, and their country, far beyond all the chains and shelter that could be ap plied by the capricious restraints and evil securities of a decjtful entail, made under a bad law, devised for the selfish vanity of a Dh:cs, to perpetuate slavery in his fa mily, by c.ttuteracting the laws of Providence, which attach the wise penalty of loss of consideration to reek- Itssness and disorder, and do not protict the bad by continually paralysing the good, a course which, in time, would reduce the landed proprietors of Scotland to the state of the most expatriated paupers, instead of being a blessing to their country, and encouragers of vigour and improvement, and comfort to all around them. These are no vain and theoretical ferebodings. The country is already labouring under the influence of them to an excessive degree ; and it is not too much to as sert that more than one-half of the entailed proprietors in Scotland have not half their income to live upon, and their families are more burdened and kept down titan any other class in the country. " One 'great source of the revenue of the country is the stamp-duty on the conveyance of property; but the entailed estates are freed from this; and they do not pay a single farthing of legacy duty, which alone, if charged to each heir on his succession to an entailed estate, in the same way as it is drawn from the children of his poor tenant, and from the children of the poorest merchant of the country, at the very time when they have lost the income obtained by the labour of their pa . rent, would aff. , rd above 1,000,000/. sterling every year to Government. Should it still be thought that an in come must be preserved through a succession of profuse heirs, for the chance that they might become the honoured parents of good 11,-irs, the best entail would be an Act of Parliament that all lands should be exAutled from difgeece. This would do es, t• justice to all parties, and only the soon( r s t - exce=sive evil of the stagnation of any Lind of pro• perry. Or if it be necesary to seeure a large income from capital, free from all change, in favour of any class, it might be safely dyne by requirieg the parties to purchase the (overnnient fund', to tire ex'ent re quired, and never to alew more to be so tied up than what the State required. This would. make the funds valuable, and give these parties the greatest interest. in the prosperity of the country. It would require no management, and never pre vent the improyemeut of the csuntry ; and all taxes would as easily be taken from that capital as from any other, anti without any serious damage to those who held such special entails. The aristocracy holding this fixed income, and left free to purchase, anti to keep . and leave to their heirs as large estates as they could .acquire and improve, would hold them as free men —a far- more commanding and respectable character than a halt-ruined heir of entail. The tenantry , and the country would deal safely with then), and respect them as men freely maintaining the high station which -th e good condnet of their noble ancestors raised them to, and preserved them and the country would feel that integrity was fixed as the basis of right, dignity, and title to every property in the kingdom. - -to FIRST SIGHT OF A Hotta; —The sensation produced by the presence of the strangers had not in the least subsided at the period of our arrival at the islands. The natives still flocked in numbers about the encampment, flood watched with the livclie*t curiosity every thing that was going for ward. A blacksmith's forge, which had been set up in the shelter of a grove .near the beach, attracted so great a crowd that it required the utmost elforts of the sentries posted around, to keep the inquisitive multitude at a sufficient dis tance to allow the workmen to ply their vocation.
