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 would 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 upon this !min+, it is only necessary to remind the public of the extraordinary progress Made in the sanitary movement, during the last sixteen or seventeen year; in spite of the apparent indiffer ence of the Parliament and of the lamentable procras tination of the Government. Although officially nothing practical in the desired direction has been yet accomplished, the quest i on has been so widely agitated and 5o perseveringly explained, 1; , o enforced by' argument and re-enforced by statisti,v.al revels- Eons, that there is perhaps 110 other subject of equal importance more completely or thoroughly under stood by the population. This fact has been recog nised, indeed, only very recently, by the leader of the el:isting Cabinet. Scarcely a naonth boa elapsed since THE SUN, the Earl of DERBY alluded to the necessity for some immediate and comprehensive sanitary innovations as a matter of actual notoriety. N o w, we would simply inquire, how hes it come :0 pass that such is the case with the Mi n i s t ry inactive, and the Legisla ture negligent ? It comes exclusively from the humane efforts of private well-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 continue to place, Mr. GEORGE AL/RED 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 h n e may be sa id to have orig,i ated 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. Scarcely a journal pub lished in the United Kingdom has refrained from la bouring 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, " bears off the body of our dear brother here departed, to a hemmed-in churchyard, 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 bang about official back-stairs—would, to Heaven they had departed I—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 lower 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 I 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 I' " Solemn words, and very touching and beau. tiful in their soleumity—words through which Genius has acknowledged that the horrors of Fiction may be enhanced and rendered yet more fearful by the gri m 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 meat; but hitherto the enactment, as we ourselves predicted from the first, has proved wholly and lamentably inoperative. A commission no doubt has been installed during the last few years in the offices and drawing-rooms of Gwydyr House, 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 I 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 thennancialßetrenclunent 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 upon the treatment of what has been (in a two-fold sense) aptly called the "Dead Man's Question," depends in a frightful manner the amour of the annual mortality. distress The lengthened paroxysm of with which Irel an d h as b een visited has to so great an extent monopolised the public mind in England us regards t he calamities which in our days h ave thi c k ene d round the en Celtic population of th ese i s l an d s , th a t we re a very inconsiderable portion of attention pamphlet has b een Western ui directed bi to the afflicted condition of the justg ads and Islands of Scotland.

B y Wallace if—gn" London: Ridgway, 1852. arvey. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 3. 1852 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 coat 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, wbo derivq 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 enly 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 QUEEN OF THE SOUTH. We some time back gave an account of the trial trip of the General,Screw Steam-ship Company's new vessel the Queen of the South to the Nore Light, which proved highly satisfactory, during which she attained an average speed of ten and a half miles per hour. Nye h ave s i nce personally inspected her in the East India Docks, when, through the courtesy of Mr. Ford, the superintendent of the company, and Capt. Hyde, her comma n d er , f rom 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 witb, 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 unu , ullly 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 con-trucced, it is probable that, the damage being confi ne d to a smaller space, the ship might still have floated, a n d so great a loss of h uman lite pre vented. Her engines, which are of 300 horse power, were constructed by .llaudslay, and are on the direct action principle, by which means the shaft of the screw is brought i n t o di rect connect i on with the . engines, whereby a great reduct i on i s ma d e 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 thT. 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 and pleasant voyage. THE Auzer.—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 China, tad the 59th t o A vistraliA. arranged that the Isth should proceed to been previously serious social drag on those other portions of our empire, where a population possessing the essential requirements of cisilizstion support, ,by a well direc'ed 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 is to be beard 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 cbin- 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 THE FRENCH REPUBL We have received the Paris pap-ra of yesterday. There is a long article in the Pays on the Bill for preventing the agglomeration of dangerous characters m 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 example of England, pointing to in the expose des motifs, appears 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 any previous order or warrant, every idle or disorderly person 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 give a satisfactory ,account of himself. All these facts are subject to penalties which the magistrate can apply. Why should not the same system be adopted in FruncP? There would no doubt be an additional category of offences in oar laws, but social interest would be safeguarded 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, Efficient, and usefu 1 to public safety, and to the liberty of ea c h ; an d w hi c h , i n our op i n i on, 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. LEFEBVRE - DURIIFLE, 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 for Fon tainebleau. M. FRANCOIS CHANIBOLLE, 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 Genoa, and that he had'no intention of having any thing to do with any journal, and that he believes the report is equally unfounded with regard to M. MARTINET. General Count DE GoxoN has recently pardoned, in the name of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, seven per sons in the department of the Loire who had been condemned by the mixed commission to transports. Lion to Algeria, or to be sent out of the department. He has commuted the punishment of eight others. The file of the distribution of the eagles to the different regiments in garrison at Lyons took place OD Monday and yesterday. General DE CASTELLANE reviewed the troops, and in presenting the eagles to the regiments delivered an appropriate address, which Was received with loud marks of enthusiasm towards the PRINCE PRESIDENT and his government. There was a tilting match given at the Hippodrome by the Dragoons and the Cuirassiers, with various other amusements, and in the evening of yesterday there was to be a grand ball, and a part of the city illu minated. The G aze tt e d u Midi says , it i s pos iti ve ly ass o r t e d that Mme.

CITY, O'CLOCK The sales of cott on at Liverpoo TWO l, 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 l -16 d. per lb. dearer. The sales comprised 6,000 American, 400 Pernam and Maranham at 54c1. to 600 Egyptian at 6id. 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 month, Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewabury 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 Autra lian 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 Sail 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 "di, gins" 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 be 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 us that there will be plenty of vessels available, and although the owners and brokers witl 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 full, and among recent examples of his vigilance, we are pleased to re cord tee 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 away from California, we may call attention to the subjoined table of the commerce of San Francisco during January, February, and March, which showe more departures than arrivals, especially of United States' vessels:— No. of No. No. of No. Arrived.

The know ledge that there are orders to buy for investment when ever the market recedes necessarily keeps up the values. The Bank of England has not yet inti mated that it will lend on stock, aed Ex chequer-bills on lower terms than heretofore, but it is considered that few persons will be content with the present abundance of cash to give more than li per cent.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived. According to accounts from Manille, an expedition left that place on the 13th of March for the Island of Mindano, carrying with it a quantity of artillery and stores, in order to put the 'fortifications in a proper state of defence. Another expedition was in contem plation to occupy Jolo, and leave a garrison there to defend it against pirates. The Madrid Gazette publishes an account of the estimated expenses of the treasury during the month of June, - which amounted to 111,627,277 reals (about 1,120,0000 It is stated that the QUEEN will not go to the sea coast for bathing at the commencement of the sum mer, but will remain at La Grania. The Three per Cknts. were done at 44k; the New Three per Cents. at 22k; the Debt of the first class at gi; and that of the second at 5 5-16.

The treaty, however, will not be executed immediately ; it will be postponed for some time, and there is reason to think that there are very serious reasons for the delay. Lord DERBY proposed to abandon the initiative to Prussia, under the moral co-operation of the other European Power., as she is , the most interested i n th e a ff a i r o f N eufchate l ; b ut las the international side of the affair had determined the conclusion of the treaty on the part of the other Powers, England could not do otherwise than accede to it." The official journal of Berlin publishes the budget of 1852; the expenses are fixed at 99,434,734 thalers, and the receipts at 97,001,021 thalers.
