LONDON' WEDN-ESDAY • ' flikw w rtw, 662 • weiro A 7 . _ . The advantages which have accrued to agricultural pro= duce from the facilities afforded by railway communicatidn of conveying their produce to market, as welt as the reci procal advantages derived by the consumer, have been rendered apparent whbrever the railway system has been adopted. In the neighbourhood of large cities, such as London, Paris, and New York, the fact is particularlyre markable. It has been proved that since the opening of the London and Birmingham, the Great Western, the South-Western, and the Eastern Counties lines, the metropolis has been better supplied with milk,' butter, cheese, poultry, and the general articles of farm produce, than at any former period. Nor has it been only with re spect to the quantity supplied that the advan'ages of rapid communication have been demonstrated. The quality, too, of the articles referred to has undergone pro portionate improvement, and it is well known with respect to milk, that that article as now sold in the metropolis, is no longer of a quality so artificial that it might be doubted whether, in strict propriety of language, the name milk could be applied to it. From the means of transport which are now so abundantly within their reach, the farmers of Essex, Warwickshire, Oxford shire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, and Hampshire find a ready market in the metropolis for articles which they formerly never dreamed of sending thither. In former times London was chiefly supplied with arti cles of a perishable nature from a circuit comprehending parts of Middlesex, Essex, Kent, and Surrey, with a radius of not more than three or four miles. The speed' of railway conveyance being seven or eight times that by cart or waggon (in the times referred to the means of conveyance) the consequence has been, that such articles are now supplied to the metropolis from a circuit seven or sight times the length of that which formerly supplied them ; consequently the land now available for the metropolitan markets is from forty-nine to sixty-four times its former extent. The profits accruing to dairy farmers from their sale of milk have increased 300 or 400 per cont., and the number of cows now reared for the purposes of the dairy, are eight to one what they were fortherly. Equal encouragement has arisen from the same cause for the cultivation of vege tables of every denomination. But the advantages of railways to farmers are almost more remarkably evinced in the superior supply which now exists of animal food to the metropolis. Before the com mencement of the railway system, the animal food supplied to the London market was not only defective in quantity, but unwholesome in quality—comparatively, at least, with what it might have been had the tract from which it could have been supplied been rendered more ex tensive. Formerly, cattle from along distance were always driven to Smithfield ; now they are conveyed in railway carriages adapted for the e= pecial purpose. More or less injury was always sustained by the animals from the fatigues of the journey, and their value was considerably • lessened owing to the inferior quality of the meat from being slaughtered in a diseased state. But it was not merely the fatigue of travelling which injured the animal, but also the absence from its accustomed pasture. The transport of calves and lambs from a greater dis tance than 30 miles was formerly altogether impractic able. Now, however, these and other live cattle are brought from all parts to London, in as many hours as they formerly took days to travel. To convey cattle without injury, not only speed, but evenness of motion is indispensable, which two requisites are answered by railway communication. The same results have been shown in conee.xion with the lines which now diverge from different parts cf Paris. A French man consumes, on an average, triple the quantity of milk consumed by an Englishman ; and from the faCilities which the farmer, to a distance of 40 or 50 miles from Paris, now enjoys of conveying his produce thither, Parisians are supplied with abundance of their favourite article. Fruit and all kinds of vegetables, grown at a distance, also find a new market in Paris ; while the increase which has taken place within the last two years, in the `French capital, in the consumption of butcher's meat, also forms a no lecs interesting subject of observation as springing from the same cause. Cattle are now brought to the--Parisian market from Brittany . and Normandy by railway, as also from all other loca lities with which the same means of . communication exist. A New York paper makes known the fact, that the factitious value which tracts of land immediately surrounding that city maintained previous to the esta blishment of railways, has been since moderated, and a portion of their advantages transferred to the more re mote districts ; thus equalising the value of agricultural property, and 'rendering it, in a "great' measure, inde pendent of local circumstances.

IPSWICH, MONDAY EVENING.—The half-yearly meet ing of *the shareholders of this Company was held this afternoon, at the company's offices, in Brook-street. The meeting was also made special to confirm the purchase of the Hadleigh Junction Railway, to authorise the directors to call in. the old Harwich line scrip, and to re. issue new scrip in such a manner as might be deemed expedient ; to sanction an application to Parliament for powers to construct'a branch line to Harwich from Man ningtree, and to raise 20,0001. by issuing new shares. Mr. J. C. Cobbold took the chair. Mr. J. F. SAUNDERS. the secretary, read the report. It stated the Eastern Union line was openel for traffic on the 15th of June, and the results hitherto have ex ceeded the expectations which your directors enter tained of the first receipts upon it. With only three engines the returns have varied, since the first week, between 4001. and 4751. A slight re-action in pas senger traffic occurred during the operations of the harvest ; but such has invariably been found to he the case in agricultural districts, and naturally ex plains itself. In the last week for which the returns have been made, namely, to 23d August, the receipts are again 478/. 15s. 7d., and in the week just concluded, at your own stations they have still further increased, and the through trains have been better than any since the line opened. The traffic, although large (for it now exceeds 1,450/. per mile annually), is limited much by the want of locomotive power ; and your directors have been subjected to delays in procuring it which were be yond their control. The works of Messrs. Hawthorn and Co., from whom they were to receive, in July, three engines, were destroyed by fire; but from that establish ment, and from. Messrs. Sharp, Brothers, and Co., six other engines are expected in a very short time. The opening of the line to Bury, and 'successively to Digs (to which point the works are comparatively easy), and onwards to Norwich, justifies them in expressing acon fident opinion that, with the traffic fully developed, the seventeen miles of line will give the proprietors as large a dividend as any railway in England. Economy' will be practised, and the working ex penses kept down as much as possible, consistent always with the observance of regularity, and with the perfect safety of the public. Up to this period not an accident, or even misfortune, has----bappened between Ipswich and Col c h es t er , and a solitary instance only has been reported of a train being behind time on arriving at Colchester. Those details will not .be deemed by the proprietors trivial and unnecessary, as the directors are desirous that the arrangements, which really do credit to the engineer of your Company, and to the superintendence of the traffic and stations, should be known to the public. The directors have the means of assuring you that the contracts for making the line from the junction of the present line at Haughley to Norwich, have been determined upon by the Ipswich and Buxy Company, that the ceremony of turning the first sod at the Nor wich end is fixed for an early day, and further, that the whole undertaking will be prosecuted with undiminished vigour into the city of Norwich, where an excellent station will necessarily command the largest and best portion of the through traffic. _ A public meeting was held last night •in the theatre of the Literary Institution, Edward-street, Portman iquare, to consider the wrongs of the ex-Rajah of Sattara, and the claims he had on British justice. JOHN WILLIAMS, Esq., having been called to the chair, said his brother electors in the borough of Mary lebone had done him the honour to call on him to pre side over that meeting, and he did so with great pleasure, as he always did if he thought be could be the instru ment of good. He said this meeting originated in a meeting of some of the electors of Marylebonc, who were convened to hear the tale of the wrongs of the Rajah, and who from what they heard on that occasion were desirous that others should be made aware of the same facts. He said the Rajah was a native of the Marattah nation, and illustrious for his descent. In 1818 the fortunes of war had put him in the power of the British Government, but in consquence of an agree ment with the British he was established on the throne of his ancestors. For 18 years he conducted the affairs of his territory in a manner to gain the applause and call forth the commendation of tile Indian authorities. In 1836 the Rajah appealed to the sovereignty of England against an infringement of his sovereign rights, and his enemies then preferred a charge against him of con spiracy, which charge was entertained by the Bombay Government. The Rajah requested a copy of the de• positions against him, which was promised to him, but that promise bad never been redeemed. In 18:38 two other charges were preferred against him—one of con spiracy with the governor of Goa to expel the English-- the other with having corresponded with the ex-Rajah of Nagpore, but no evidence has ever been adduced against him. In 1839 he was requested to sign a paper acknowledging that he had acted treasonably to the British Government; he refused to sign the document, and thereupon was dethroned, banished, and stripped of his private property. The Earl of Auckland, the late Governor-General of India, and Sir Robert Grant, both agreed that injustice had been done the Rajah in not having put him on a public trial, so as to give him an opportunity of meeting his accusers. But, he said, ho would not detain the meeting when others were to ad dress them better able than himself. Mr. G. THOMPSON then came forward amidst great applause to address the meeting. After entering upon thegeography and history of the Alaratah country, he said it was not till 1817 that this country was fully subdued under the British power ; and at that time the Prime Mi nister of the Rajah, afterwards of Sattara with his com panions in arias, was overthrown. The Rajah was then under age, but the Governor-General of India, the Marquis of Hastings. thought it proper to set him on les the throne of a small principality called Satt a ra. Thi s was dons on him e i n acid the 1818 ; ia ß executed be tweenrafter this he had ruled with a wisdom which drew forth rliBtils9h a Government treaty was ; B EARD'S COLOURED PHOTOGRAPHIC •• " PORTRAITS. ~... ed, As a 1, d 45. die " A great Improvement has been effected by the patentee ; the method of colouring . renders the portraits agreeable and lite-like." —Times.

These interesting little'volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of• immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all , by the availment hereof in fulfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the lilt e advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation 3f our faculties, whicth is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations.

BENG° BAPOJEE then came forward to address the meeting, but said, as he could not use the English lan guage with case, he would hand over a written docu- The CHAIRMAN said, since the opening of the line 50,000 persons had travelled by it, giving an average of 5,000 weekly. With a view of developing the merits of the line and the ports of Ipswich and Har wich; experiments had been made to the opposite coast, which, as they would be aware, proved the most satis factory, and in the course of next year an arrange ment would be made that would give the shareholders the benefit of those experiments. He now wished to allude to two memorials which hal been pre sented to the directors, soliciting the withdrawal of all trains that arrived in or departed from the town on Sunday. They were signed by many clergymen and gentlemen of much weight in the neighbourhood. He could assure them that the board of directors were anxious to pay every observance to the Lord's day; but, after giving the matter every consideration, they found they could not consent to the prayer of the memorialists. There were only two trains that ar rived and departed in the course of the day, and they were so arranged that they did not run during the periods of Divine service. To effect that alteration they were obliged to apply to the directors of the Eastern. Counties Railway to change the time of one of the trains, who met their desire in the most honourable way, and acceded to the proposition, notwithstand ing they would arid had received a practical loss in income. There were a great many parties who, being closely confined during the week, had only the Sabbath to visit their friends or enjoy the pure a:r of heaven, and now that the ordinary means of travelling had been removed by the construction of the railway, he did not think that they ought to close the only con veyance left them, and that on a day on which only they could avail themselves of it.—(Hear.) Therefore, in justice to the public and the poorer and industrious classes, the directors could not accede to the suggestions contained in the memorials. He for one did not think that they ought to prevent the poor from breathing pure air even on a Load's day. , Mr. Jourisorir, of Halesworth, regretted the determi nation the directors had come to. They were reaping the fruits of Sunday trading, a traffic which created drunkenness and many other abominations on the Sab bath. He intreated the board to reconsider the_enbieet_ sacred day. The Rev. Mr. SMYTHERS, of Colchester, approved of the course the directors had taken. The making re ligion a bugbear did more harm than good. It was monstrous to curtail the enjoyments of the poorer classes on the Sabbath, the only day they could recruit their strength by breathing the fresh air of the country. After some further discussion on the matter, nearly all persons coneurring in the conduct of the directors, the report was adopted. The resolution confirming the purchase of the Had leigh Junction was then put and carried, as also those for creating 20,0001. by new shares, and the sanctioning of another appeal to Parliament for leave to construct a branch to Harwich. With a view to assure the shareholders and depositors of the con stant management of the Bank under the rules laid down, and to keep them at all times acquainted with its condition and security, there will be three auditors, whose duty it will be at least once in every month, and as much oftener as they may think proper, to in spect the accounts and securities in the Bank, and who will have a discretionary power to call a special general meeting of the proprie tors, at any time they may think such a measure advisable. A preliminary account has been opened with the Bank of England, in the names of six of the directors above-mentioned.

Express.—" The work now before us will he appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance of distinguishing between irritative' and inflammatory' action in determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for the 'latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr. Franks does not . content himself with asserting the fact, but pro ceeds to show, by argument and demonstration, which appears to us conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully perused Mr. Franks'a book,' 'we can state with confidence, that it ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the Information it con tains maynot only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed, but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices of the unskilful and the empiric." From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the ruinous banks founded by manslaugbtering quacks."

T H E UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER 30 to 50 per Cent. Saved I The Patentees beg to call public attention to the following facts, The advantages resulting from the invention are nt„ ce r various c and striking. Indeptndently o f a saving of 30 to 50 par the om bustion is perfect, and the brilliancy produced superior to any light hitherto discovered. It emits neither smell nor smoke, and burns steadily for any period ; and such is its purity, that it neither affects or soils the most delicate colour or the finest fabric. Objections have made to the introduction of gas in dwelling-houses, to the expense of fittings, to its destruction of furniture, draperies, gold moulding, these are entirely obviated by the " rATENT UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER." As the cost of laying on gas is muck lower than is com monly supposed, it is adapted for private dwellings, as well as for club-houses, hotels, manufactories, and public buildings. One of the small burners is amply sufficient to light a good-sized room, at a sum immeasurably lower than spirit, oil, or candle, with the avoidance of waste or trouble. The merits of the "Burner," its brilliancy and economy surpassing every other known light, aro shown by the annexed authentic opinions of the qualities of the UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. Extract from the Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers, Tuesday, 26th May, 1846, Sir JOHN RENNIE, President, in the Chair. " A gas burner of a novel and ingenious construction was exhibited. The principal novelty was the introduction of a stream of air to the centre of the flame by a hollow button in the middle of the lumen The air passing up through the hollow stem of the button, was Ilea' ed, and passed out by two series of fire-holes around the periphery, and Lnpinging, with force on the flame of the gas curved it outwards in the shape of a tulip, while the oxygen of the air, mingling with the carburetted hydrogen gas, produced a very perfect combustion, The flame was quite white down the top of the burner, w as very steady, as was amply demonstrated by the excellent light of the Institution, where these burners have been used. In comparing the consumption of these burners with that of the concentric ring burners, and trying the power of the two lights by the photometer, the new burner gave a better light, with a saving of rather more than one-third?' CERTIFICATE. POLYTECHNIC CHEMICAL SCHOOL.—" In testing Clark, McNiel, and Co,'s Universal Gas Burner with one of the best shawdowless turners, it gave a more pure and brilliant light, with a saving of 20 to 25 per cent." GEORGE CRISP, Engineer, ROUT. LONGBOTTOM, Secretary, CERTIFICATE. " In a series of experiments made upon Clark, Mc Niell, and Co.'s Patent Universal Gas Burner, its superiority was satisfactorily esta blished in economy and the quality of the light. Tested against argand burners, Nos. 4 (12 holes), and 6 (15 holes), it afforded a s aving of at least 25 per cent., and against three fish-tail burners, N,., 4, 40 per cent. The colour and brilliancy of the flame is supe rior to any other burner." T. W. KEATES, Consulting Chemist, J. D. PALMER, Mechanical Inspector.

A list of forged seals and documents, purchased by Lieutenant Charles Ovans, ex-resident at Sattara, of a gang of robbers, for the sum of 401. and a free pardon, which were prcdueed in evidence against the Rajah of Sattara, was then read, and excited profound disgust. Mr. GEO. THOMPSON then addressed the meeting. He said he had been in the habit, for six years, of bringing the question before the India House. He said that the Directors were never able to substantiate a single charge against the Rajah. His very accusers believed him to be a noble and enlightened prince; illustrious for virtue, and untainted with a shadow of crime. The gentleman then gave an animated description of the birth and an cestors of the Rajah of Sattara, of the institutions of his country, up to the time of the collision with the English power; and of the defeat of the Marattahs, when the infant Rajah and his mother were taken prisoners. He then showed the superior education and moral attri butes appertaining to the Rajah. In 1821, Captain Duff, his tutor, notified that be vas competent to rule Sattara. Instances were then adduced of his prudence in the management of his monetary affairs. He parti cularly alluded to a noble instance of liberality exhibited in the declaration of the Rajah—that every individual in his dominion should be educated. He entered into a minute detail of the circumstances which first brought on a collision between the Rajah and the East India Company, in a very eloquent strain; observing that it had been admitted, even by the Court of Directors, that the principle document against the Rajah was a forgery, and that the evidence in proof of its being forged was withheld from the Government by the British!political agent at the Rajah's court. He then gave a humiliating description of the interview between Sir Charles Grant and the Rajah, in which the duplicity of the former was such as to make General Lodwick, who was present, to blush crimson for his countryman. He said the chief evidence, of the charge of conspiracy with the native governments against the Company's power had been given by two sepoys, in the British army, then stationed at Sattara. These men had entered upon a plot to ruin the Rajah, at the instigation of a Brahmin, and took the most sacred oath which a Ilindoo could swear that they would preserve inviolable secresy. These two men had subsequent interviews with an officer of their own troop, to communicate first hints, then fuller statements, respecting a treasonable combination be tween the Rajah and the native powers, saying that they had had private and confidential interviews with the Prince. This testimony was forwarded to the Bombay Government, and proceedings against the Rajah were immediately founded upon it ; the result of which was as had been already stated to the meeting. For the past six years the Rajah had been incessantly labouring to pre vail on the Indian authorities to give him an opportunity of rebutting the evidence ; but the only answer he could get, was, that it was inexpedient to re open the question. He then stated that several gen tlemen, British residents at the Rajah's court for a long series of years, Generals Briggs, Robertson, and Lod wick, had laboured with him in the same cause, but all in vain. He said if any charge that he bad urged on the attention of the meeting was found incorrect or false, he was liable to be committed to Newgate for libel, but he reiterated every charge, and challenged disapproval. He then made a stirring appeal to the British public, adding that he hoped he would not appeal to them in vain to redress a flagrant wrong, committtd and per sisted in by the Indian authorities. Some other gentlemen afterwards addressed the meet ing, which, after thanks had been voted to the chairman, broke up. IRISH MARBLES.—The recent importation of green marble from Ireland was made on the recommendation of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who expressed his opinion to a deputation of the Council of the Society of Arts, of which he is president, of the applicability of the article, samples of which had been sent over for their official investi gation, to various economical and ornamental purposes. It is not generally known that the position of his Royal High • ness, as president of the Society of Arts, is not merely hono rary, for although he does not take part in its ordinary proceedings, everything brought to its investigation is sub mitted to his private inspection. Amongst other intellectual qualifications the Prince Consort is a good chemist.

RAILWAY. ANDOVER, MONDAY.—A large and influential meet ing of the clergy, gentry, and other respectable in habitants of this borough and neighbourhood, interested in this line, was held in the Town-hall this day, con . vened by requisition to the mayor. The requisitionists hawing heard with regret that the Bill recently before Parliament, for making a railway communication between Manchester and Southampton through Andover, had been thrown out by the Committee of the House of Lords, and feeling the great advantages that would arise to the town and neighbourhood, and to the public generally, if such an undertaking were carried out, con sidered it advisable to urge the directors of the under taking to renew their application to Parliament in the next session. Tho disappointment, says our corre spondent, in this borough among the shareholders and inhabitants generally, scarcely knew bounds on its first becoming known that the Committee of the Lords had rejected the Bill, as not only Andover, but Whitchurch, Stockbridge, Marlborough, and other important towns, are yet without railway communication, much to the pecuniary injury of every tradesman, it costing at the present time more for the transmission of heavy goods from the station to Andover (ten miles) than it does for the whole of the other distance, either from London or Southampton—to the great deterioration of trade generally—as the price of articles, such as groceries, coals, building materials, &c., have to be kept up in price in this borough, so that the retailers or tradesmen may get a profit, or compete with tradesmen at Winchester, and other towns on the line. Henry Earle, Esq., was voted to the chair. Mr. HENRY MARSH, of Hatherden, stated the benefits that must be derived by this line passing through Andover. Were not all the inns half shut up? There was nothing to bring people to Andover at the present time without railway ; therefore the more they had through the town the better it would be ; therefore ha said persevere, and you must eventually prosper. Mr. B. HAWKINS, draper, seconded the resolution. All the opposition had been withdrawn or overcome, but from the Groat Western, and they, it appears, had in fluence sufficient with five of the Lords to cause the re- jection of this measure. He concluded by expressing a hope that the second attempt would be more successful than the first.—( Applause.) Mr. HENRY LOSCOMBE, solicitor, proposed as an amendment, " That the meeting should not bind them selves to any particular line of country." His opini:m was, that a line by way of Didcot would be more direct and of greater advantage than through Marlborough. Mr. FOWLE thought not, as the present proposed line went more into the heart of the iron and other large manufacturing districts. Mr. W. 11. HEATH, banker, expressed himself in favour of the original plan. After some further discussion the amendment was withdrawn. Mr. JOHN PoonE, spirit merchant, proposed the second resolution. He feared some under speculation contributed to getting it thrown out—(Cheers)—while such noblemen as the Earl of Aylesbury supported and approved of the line, he thought they had but little to fear. When he heard that a Russell Ns as the chief op ponent, nent and had the greater share in getting this Bill rejected, he at first thought it was the present Prime Minister. Mr. FOWLS, of the firm of Tasker and Fowle, large iron-founders, seconded the resolution. Mr. SANDERS proposed an amendment to the follow ing effect :—That this should be a free and independent line, unconnected with the Great Western or the South Western Companies, which was ultimately negatived. The following resolution was passed unanimously : " That the inhabitants of this town, having learnt with deep regret that the Manchester and Southampton Rail way Bill has been rejected by a committee of the House of Lords, upon the opposition principally of the Great Western Railway Company, and not from any deficiency of its merits or want of proof of its necessity or im portance to the district through which it was intended to pass, and being fully convinced of the immense utility and advantage such a line of railway, if made, would prove to the pubic generally, and to this town and neighbourhood in particular, do earnestly request the committee of management and directors of the Man chester and South-Western Railway Company to renew the Royal Artillery in that island in December, 1843. Intelligence has been received at Woolwich of the death of Captain Stanway, Royal Artillery, command ing the 6th company of the Ist battalion at St. John's, New Brunswick, to which station he proceeded with his company in August, 1845. This gallant officer served in the Peninsula and France from February, 1812, to July, 1814, including the siege of San Sebastian and passages of the Bidossa and Adour. His remains were interred in the new burial-ground with military honours. Her Majesty's troop-ship Belleisle, Captain King come, arrived at Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Wednesday, July 29, with the 89th Regiment, and two companies of the 14th Regiment, from Quebec, and embarked at Halifax on Monday, August 3, the whole of the 2d bat talion and three companies of the reserve battalion of the :Rifle Brigade, for conveyance to Canada. The Rifle Brigade had been quartered about four years in Nova Scotia, and during that time, by their exemplary conduct, recommended themselves to all classes of the citizens, who universally regret their departure from the garrison. SUMMER CHOLERA—ITS CAUSES There is a much more efficient and much more proba ble cause than either pickled salmon or plums. Under the streets of our best-drained towns and cities there is a widely extended magazine of miasmata. That magazine is hidden from our view, yet it is übiquitous. It enters every court and alley, and during the heat of summer it is put into fearful activity, and night and day evolves suspects until pre_ l many thousand cubit inches of foul air; and t hat foul air. i i s s eovftoelnveidmapnedrceapseteibnldestforothme everysen s gull y-ho l e, N obody es.ly-h, ie, viously to or during rain , when it is held in solution is the aqueous vapour of the atmosphere, and becomes per ceptible to the sense of smell. People will answer y ou, if you inquire the condition of their house draina ge , " Oh, it is very good ; the drain in the back kitch en never smells except against rain; it is very sweet in deed." Yet night and day a miasm is ascending . from the cess-pool called the sweet drain, through the sink hole in that " sweet back kitchen," and infecting the air of the whole house. Bat whether it stinks or not it is of very little consequence ; it may have no smell, cr no unpleasant smell, and yet be a deadly poison. There is no smell in pure carbonic acid gas, and it is only an in nocent odour of (garlic that characterises the fumes of arsenic ; yet both these are deadly things. What it offensive to the sense of smell is injurious to the system * or some part of it ; that is generally true ; but the reverse is not true ; you carnot say that what is inoffensive to the sense of smell i s not injurious. I hold it, then, as an established principle, that. the malaria arising from the abominable sewers„ especially in the metropolis, .where water-closets and crowded churchyards abound, is the fruitful source of our summer epidemics ; and you may rely upon thin, that wherever you have cholera or typhus epidemic, there you have a source of malaria. I always inquire into this matter, and I always give the sufferer or sufferers a practical lesson in hygiene, whether they be poor .or rich. You find a family suffering from cholera or fever, and there is a filthy drain close by. You say to the head of that family, " Would you like to know why you all have the cholera? It is that abominable drain." The, answer will be, "It is really most nauseous, sir, but our :landlord will do nothing." " Well, thee," answer, " pay a pound or two a-year more rent, in a healthier spot, where the landlord will do something ; you will more than. srsve the sum in escaping sickness." Now, this is a way of.' effect ing sanitory reform without an Act of Parliamenit, and a very e ff ectual way too.—Mcdical Gazette : Dr. Lay cock's Lectures. AMERICAN ELOQUENCE. —The following is an extract from a speech of General Bu ncum in favour of 54 40 : " Mr. Speaker—When I open my e y es, and look over the v ast expanse of this country — when I s e e how the yeast of freedom has caused it to rise in the scale of civilization and expand on every side—when I see it grcwing, roar ing, like a spring freshet—l cannot resist the idea ; ir, the day will come when this great nation, like .a young school boy, will burst its straps, and become entirely too big for its boots. Sir, we want elbow room—the continent, the whole continent, and nothing but the continent—and we will have it. Then shall Uncle Sam, placing his hat upon the Canada', rest his right arm upon the Oregon and California coast, bis left upon the eastern seaboard, and whittle away the Blitish power, while reposing his right leg, like a freeman, upon Cape Horn!
