THE StTN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY,_.TpLY 7, 1841 MORNING SUN. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. TIMES.—The Ministerial Morning Journalist is loud in his :threats and boastings of what is to be hereafter. The damned -poet appeals to posterity. To " shame the rogues" of 1841, he -" prints" his drive.ings, that all mankind may set him down for —what he is. This organ of a Cabinet of bankrupt adventurers tells us that Sir ft. Peel's majority (the fact of the majority is graciously admitted) will be "a very small one," and that the " Opposition will not only be very numerous, but powerful be ndyo anything ever known in the history o f this countr y ." " Sir Robert Peel's majority, on the other hand, will consist of the most discordant materials." Crow on, gentlemen. Make the most of the twilight hour. When broad day shall once be let in upon your dunghill, the " shrill clarion" that now wakes us will be quiet enough. Sir Robert Peel has the misfortune to differ from the self-consoling prophet of the Morning Chronicle, with respect to the character and composition of that party by which the frauds of Whiggery have first been exposed ; and next, the foul and motley dominion of Irish Papists, English Dissen ters, and Downing-street jobbers, has been so signally and irretrievably overturned. Sir Robert Peel does not allow (why should he?) that the party which on public principles he has so successfully formed. " consists of the most discordant materials." The Right Hon. Baronet, on the contrary, affirms, that the Conservative party was from its outset bound together by one main and vital principle, viz., an "attachment to the ancient institutions of the country "—that it has bound itself by no obligation, and " entertains no shadow of a desire, to resist such changes as the progress of society may demand, but that it is determined to maintain on their ancient foundations the institutions of the realm in Church and State "—that it is a party of which the foundations have been rapidly widening, and its influence over public opinion consolidating—that, powerful in its spreading numbers, it has become infinitely " stronger in the confidence of the country," than even in its overwhelming numbers—that, growing in amount from num bers scarcely exceeding 100 Members of the House of Com mons, to upwards of 320 or 330 Members, such an in crease could never have arisen but from the vast moral weight and authority which it possessed with the nation — that having intrusted its confidence to the Right Hon. Ba ronet, he (Sir R. Peel) assures the country, that " all the ru mours which have been circulated about differences of opinion and jealousies are absolutely without foundation ; that the party which acts upon his advice and councils is a united and tompact party, in which no difference of principle prevails, as to the course which we ought to pursue." How far, indeed, -the past position of the Conservative party bears testimony to this uniform and consentient spirit. is a question of fact which it needs no assertion to prove, nor any great ingenuity to cavil at. We take Sir R. Peel's words as a pledge of prospective be nefits, and a conciliating policy. What is past is a matter of his tory, which it is useless to pervert, and impossible to conceal. Men are to be tested by principles—not principles to be brought down to the level of men. Conservatism is a principle ; its strength consists in unity, and in proportion to their conformity with its doctrines are its disciples to be deemed worthy of it. CHRONICLE.—As the county elections come on, it is anre than ever incumbent upon persons connected with agri culture4o consider well the tendency of their votes, and to weigh the inconveniences of impoverishing their customers, irritating their labourers, and subjecting themselves to the losses of continual fluctuations in price, against any temporary evil from disobliging- landlords who have no moral or legal right whatever to interfere with the use they make of the suffrage. The unsettled state of the Corn-law question is an enormous injury to the farmer. Three years ago, Sir Robert Peel desctibed it as intolerable. He dwelt, with just empha- sis, upon the confusion thus introduced into all the arrange. ments of the cultivator, and the Ifardship of never know in! what extent of outlay was warranted by his prospects of remuneration for the ensuing year. There is great truth in this view of the case. Under the most favourable and steady circumstances, the farmer is more exposed to uncertainty than those who follow any other kind of industrial occupation. On him alone, or most severely, falls " the penalty of Adam, the seasons' dif ference." Every fluctuation in the condition of the millions affects the quantity of food they can afford to purchase. 'they cannot sink towards starvation without pinching the farmer. And their relief from famine, by the importation of foreign grain, under the present absurd and unjust law, becomes his im?overishetent. If prices fall, rates rise ; and if prices rise, mite rise fa'ter The shdiag scalc insures perpetual fraul a.nd ;ambling. It aggravates ad the fluctuations that natural causes or social relations generate. Witld the !•hort, space of the last six years it has sent the pric cf v,heat per quarter above 70s. and under 40s. The farmers' returns go up Ike the rocket, and down like the stick. Anil all these ha rassing vicissitudes are multiplied and embittered by a formtda ble aid growing agitation against the law, spreading itself through all c'asses, and even in louder and yet louder tones demanding change—such change as millions deem essential to their interests, their rights, and their security from plunder and starvation. Here is all the uncertainty of a chaos ; water that none can swim in, and land that affords no firm standing. Surely every farmer must feel the soundness of Sir Ro bert Peel's assertion, long since made, that his inte rests imperatively require the speedy laving to rest of this last and greatest element of change, the Corn-law ques tion. Surely a, prompt and satisfactory settlement of it should be the object of the farmer's vote at the poll booth. But the farmer who votes for a Tory votes against settlement. He polls for the continuance of ruinous fluctua lion. The Parliamentary Tories, aided by a portion of the 'Whigs, have striven for a settlement in vain, by the forlorn hope of discountenancing the discussion. They have tried again and again to scout the question from the House of Com mons. Any partial success has only the more signally illus trated the fact that upon the whole they were decidedly baffled. They were utterly incapable of burking the subject, even be fore Ministers made it an open question. Having once been adopted as a Government question, no future Government can dream of consigning it to oblivion or quietude. The Tory party has been a broken reed to the farmer's trust. Rest was promised him ; and yet every year augmented, and con tinues to augment, the obvious amount of uncertainty. What can he get by voting for the Tories? POST.—The elections for Scotland have now begun ; and after tha nroofsw. amt hid of the Conservative reaction among the town constituencies of England, it is only natural, that we should look with great anxiety to the northern part of the kingdom. Circumstances exist in the political position of Scotland that do not operate here. A ten years' possession of general elective franchise has not been altogether sufficient to cool the thoughtless impetuosity with which men are apt to exercise a newly-acquired right ; and the mischievous mis representation by the Liberal party, of the opinions of the Con servatives on the unhappy Church question, have net been with out their effect. We especially mention these two points be cause we are anxious to prevent any exaggerated anticipation of improvement in the character of the representative body ; but it must at the same time be borne in mind that in Scotland, as in England, considerable disgust has been excited by the continual exhibition of Liberal promises violated and Liberal pledges unredeemed. If, therefore, the causes we first enumerated may interfere with the achievement of the same success that has attended the Conservative efforts in Eng land, those that we last mentioned are calculated to afford a well-founded hope that the elections now in progress will fur nish a result very different from that which was presented in the Parliament just dissolved. There, out of the 53 Members allotted to Scotland under the Reform Act, we had only 19 Conservatives to do battle with 34 Liberals. We put it to any man acquainted with the character and habits of the people, whether this unfortunate majority of Destructives could be considered as in any way fairly representing the Con stituency ? We ask if to foster the Roman Catholic religion in its most secular and factious form ; or to devise a scheme of general education into which the inculca tion of morality and religion should not enter, were in con formity with the religious feelings of Scotland? We ask if to support an Administration that clings to mere office after the power to carry on the Queen's Government has passed away from it ; that last year opposed the vast innovations in our commercial system, which they this year declare to be the only means of preventing a national bankruptcy—be consistent with that reputation which the people of Scotland have so long enjoyed for the possession of sound good sense ? We further ask whether to have frittered away a surplus revenue of two millions sterling, and to have substituted for it a melancholy deficiency of seven millions, can be an especial recommenda tion of Liberal policy to a class of our countrymen more re markable, perhaps, than any other for prudence and carefulness in the management of pecuniary concerns? HERALD.—We assure the public that we never did more 'violence to our own modesty than we are compelled this day to do—by quoting—ourselves. The offence against good taste of such a proceeding we feel to be enhanced by the very recent date of the article from which we are about to repeat a passage. It appeared in the Herald at no remoter a period than yester day. We said, by way of illustrating a certain proposition,— " to borrow a homely phrase from brother Jonathan, there is nothing like going the whole hog ! If you have an insinuation to establish don't spoil it by . trying your hand at a plausible deduction from the, facts against your adversaries :—take the are of t ur r s a e l lf. ly rue We of really you r of id facts as they are , an d the more they areeagainst y ou , th e more stoutly stick to it , that they ponent, and scandalously false not take s efficient credit to ourselves for the very hi gh cozilet ti w hich the. Globe is dis p osed to feel for our lc t. Resolved to signalise this flattering homage by seizing the earliest opportunity for its mani f estation, th e Globe came out yesterday evening with one of the most practical and complete comme ntaries on t hedoctrine we had sported, in the morning—as mere b n adiale— ve h r t y at much to certainty ) could astonish—as it ought (we pD gratify us. It had an announceentseut rn o .a m s ake to its peculiar class of readers well calculated, from its nature and ten dencies, to shock the overweening pres um p tion and reckless theories of the whole school of the " anti-monopolists" a they are pleased to call themselves. It had a disclosure to s make about the results of the quarter's revenue and the comparative statement of the public incom e in the years ended, respectively sth July, 1840, and sth Jul.v, _ lB4 . 1, that it foresaw must be appalling to every man in t h e ing k done who had the common power of combining those results , and considering them in relation to the present state of tn I country, its immediate exigencies and its future prospects. saw the impossibility of averting from its official patrons, on ac count of their disgraceful conduct in office, their compromising policy of hazardousexperiments and timid expedients—the entire blame of the disastrous issues presented by these accounts, of which it had learned the general aspect. It readily surmised that unless it could by some enormous—invention, deceive and mislead the really honest and impartial few among the mass of zealous and bigoted, and not very scrupulous partisans of the present Ministers—it must leave the. latter to that fate which the past and the coming elections had pretty extensively and certainly prepared for them, but which the publication of this official paper will surely precipitate. Accordingly, our evening contemporary, in strict observance of the injunction pro nounced at Guildhall the other day by Mr. Jones Loyd, " girded up his loins" and marched into the field with false co lours. and a matt kkes manifesto of Whig-radical effrontery. ADVERTISE Already are the Tories quailing in ap prehension of the verdict on their policy about to be returned by the Irish constituencies. The " Great Thunderer" itself despairs of its power to subdue the indignant resistance by which the constituencies of Ireland are preparing to repel the ' attempt of the Tories to re-establish in that country their op pressive, baleful, and sanguinary domination. In England the more advanced state of political science and institutions, and their consequences—a more advanced civilisation, and a mere unerriuring abhorrence of oppression—for years prevented the same exacerbations of Tory outrages as marked with features of revolting deformity their administration in Ireland. Time after time, however, has Ireland wrung frogs the reluctant hands of her rulers concessions calculated to equalise her political position with that of England ; and time after time also have tyrannical administrations—making Ireland experimental of the extent of pepular forbearance— endeavoured to sustain obligarchical anti ecclesiastical tyranny in undiminished excess, and by coercive laws endeavoured to force england leek into the depressed and degraded position from which Ireland has been labouringito emerge. Such was the nature of the conflict, ':which even Catho lic Emancipation failed to appease, which raged with scarcely mitigated fury till the passing of the Re form Act, and which, even then, would not have become less violent in its manifes tations but for the administration of the law under a Liberal Ministry having been made to harmonise with the ameliorative been the active anitZer pokey of its enactment. Such also has pre eztive influence mutually be tween the, policies n exercised such the question upon w hichgl England and in Ireland; and that they must again put forth h th4lrish constituencies now feel ir strength, and neutralise or overcome the ascendancy places achieved over their own rights and has in Watt. over those of the empire of which the y for tsand.interest"' wait as part. , GLOBE.—We are far from " rejoicing," as is charged upon us by the Tory organs, at this deficiency in the na tional finances ; but we do appeal to it as affording indis putable proof of the necessity of a complete revision of our fiscal system. Taxation has reached its utmost limit of productiveness. Fresh impositions will but in crease the sufferings of the people, without adding to the national resources. Distress and discontent will settle down into confirmed disaffection to Government, by whomsoever administered ; and lead to the deplorable consequences which such a state of feeling has inva riably produced. The measures of the Government would have increased the revenue, and thus gradually, but certainly, have provided for the deficiency, without adding to the burden of taxation : they would have re lievecctrade and commerce from the restrictions which fetter its operations, and would thus have improved the condition of the population, by increasing the demand for their labour. TherFories, by successfullycounteracting these essential changes in our fiscal and commercial policy, are about to make the dangerous experiment of laying addi tional taxation on a people, already forced to the utmost verge of endurance by want of employment, and conse quent privation and suffering, without holding out to them the slightest hope of a change in the system which has involved them in these calamities. So far from " rejoicing" in the prospect of these calamities, we sin cerely and deeply deplore the certainty of their inflic tion. But, seeing their approach, we hold it to be a part, though a painful part, of our public duty, to warn the country of the disasters which seem to threaten it. CO I:RIER.—We have now before us the complete re turns from the cities and boroughs in England and Wales, and upon the balance of the whole these show a gain of eight seats to the Conservatives. This is a great and gra tifying proof of Conservative strength among consti tuencies heretofore so remarkable for Whig-Radical tendencies, and, consequently, so liable to be led away by the artfully concocted delusions to which Ministers had had such frequent recourse in their desperate extre mity.:The counties are now about to exhibit their strength; the result is certain ; Sir Robert Peel will receive an accession of strength from the English counties against which the combined forces of Whigs and Radicals will be utterly powerless. A prescience of this fact is be coming painfully perceptible to the Ministerial journals. We yesterday disposed of the pseudo prophetic warnings ' and threatening menaces addressed by these self-con stituted advisers to the great Conservative leader, who may now be considered the Prime Minis ter of England ; we then showed the fallacy of the grounds on which their croaking ratiocinations were avowedly based. To return to the demolition of these fictions or to those prophecies which the rage and rancour of faction alone inspire would be " twice to slay the slain." It is, we know, the privilege of the "bea ten" to grumble and complain, and has ever been a habit with the vanquished to seek consolation for their present disasters in the anticipation of a similar fate for the vic torious ; but we marvel much at the hardihood which continues to give forth to the world its prophetic ravings, after the whole course of events had falsified former pre dictions and proved to the world that it is not the blind and malignant spirit of party that can either foresee or interpret the shadows of " coming events." Really we should be curious to learn by what factious manoeuvre, by what process of infernal magic, the shattered remains of Whig-Radicalism, the " reliquias Danaunz," can hope to thwart (to displace it is beyond hope) Sir Robert Peel's Government, commanding, as it undoubtedly will, a majority of over fifty in the new Parliament. We readily admit that the Right lion. Baronet is no match for his opponents in that quality of adhesiveness which sticks to place without power ; or of that endurance which survives defeat and patiently submits to disgrace. STANDARD.—The county elections have begun well ; but they must proceed well if the agriculturists are to be saved. The enemies of British agriculture dare to calculate upon retaining thirty county seeps —if they retain one, the disgrace of those to whom they shall owe it will be signal. The farmer who shall, upon any consideration, vote for the supporter of " New Poor-law" and Anti-Corn-law Ministry will well deserve the mercies of the union workhouse, to which, to the extent of his power, he will consign him self and his family. Let the propositions of the Anti- Corn-law League, practically adopted by her Majesty's Ministers, be circulated in every county—not in gar bled extracts, as passages from the Quarterly Review and the Standard have been circulated in great towns and boroughs—but in their complete form. Let these propositions be universally circulated through counties and country villages, and farmers will see what they have to anticipate from a neglect of their duty on the present trial. We want nothing but the promulgation of the truth, and the whole truth, to ensure a full success. It has been reproached against this journal by some respectable Contemporaries, the Manchester Chronicle, for example, that we have injured the cause of Conservatism in the manufacturing dis tricts, by an " ill•judged" publication of facts and opinions. We confess the truth, that we may, by the freedom with which we have spoken, have in some degree furnished the enemy with arms. But this was una voidable. It is the duty of all who presume to address the public to speak of all useful truths without reserve on the score of party convenience. The maxim of Fonte nelle, that truth must not be let out by the handful, respects the interest of those who are to receive it, not the interest of those by whom it is to be dispensed. And no truth can be more usefully dispensed both at home and abroad than this, that the greatness of Great Britain does not depend upon manufactures or foreign trade in nrifactured goods, but upon the prosperity of her eritiiiie commerce, and above all, upon the prosperityia- her agriculture. This is the spring-head of ail lxiar strength and affluence, the' source of the national greatness is thus now committed to the care of those whcehave a vital domestic interest in its preservation—wiW t hey prove faithful to the sacred trust? We cannot doubt 'dot they will. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM TEE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. HERALD. —A rather uneasy feeling was excited in the Stock Market this morning by the tenour of the intelligence front the United States by the 3reat Western, which was looked upon to be of a threatening character. It would, however, not be worth wl ile perhaps to attach so much importance to the dis cussions in Congress about foreign affairs and the case of M‘Leod. as they are tinctured so strongly with party spirit and a desire to embarrass the new Government, but for the almost contemporaneous address of Governor Thomson on opening the United Canadian Legislature, which smacks rather strongly also of belligerent notions and warlike recommendations to put the provinces into a state of defence as, at the eleventh hour, the present Whig Government has really intimated a formal resolution to defend and retain them as integral por tions of the empire. From the tone and the terms of the Go vernor's speech. it is tolerably transparent that matters are not so satisfactery, nor likely to run on so smoothly, in the Canadas, as the country has been falsely led to believe. Other causes contributed moreover to depress that firmness and tendency upwards visible of late in the Stock Market, for to say nothing of the banking failures in town and country recently made public, the stoppage of a discount firm of some considera tion in the City was announced to-day, whose engagements or responsibilities, direct and indirect, are variously rated at from 200,0001. to 300,0001. The immediate cause of this unfortu nate event is likely to prove more extensively injurious to a large portion of the community than by itself, under other circum stances it could be, for the primary occasion of the failure is stated to have arisen from the previous embarrassments of two large woollen manufacturing establishments somewhere about Bradford, in Wiltshire, which must perhaps necessarily result in depriving greatnumbers of operatives of employment. Notwith standing these adverse considerations the depression in the funds was but of slight account, for Consols left off at 89-1, sellers for the opening. POST.—Some additional failures of considerable magnitude have taken place in this part of the town. A French house in the Havannah trade stopped payment on Saturday (the parties disappearing), and this morning, it was announced, that the firm of Cull's, Thompson, and Harris, bankers and bill brokers, had been reduced to the same necessity. The extent of the liabilities of the French house has not been generally stated ; it is thought, however, to be limited, but those of Messrs. Coils and Co. are said to be probably not far short of 300,0001. Their failure is ascribed more immediately to embarrassments brought on the firm in connection with certain Blackwell Hall factors, and, if the reports upon this point be well founded, it follows, as a matter of course, that things are not proceeding so smoothly as could be desired in the woollen trade. The stoppage of the house of Whitmore, Vrells, and Whitmore, has been followed by an announcement from the old banking establishment of Messrs. Ladbroke and Co., to the effect that they have come to the de termination of " settling all their engagements." This they propose doing by paying off the balances due to their deposi tors, or , i f it should b e agreea bl e to t h e l at t er , by the tra ns fer of such bal ances to t h e b oo k s o f Mes s rs. Glyn and Co. The dissolutio n of the house of Ladbroke and Co., ought not to excite much surprise. Such a measure has been in contem plation th ese two or ' three years, and was made a matter of very general discussion among our men of business upon one particul ar occasion within the interval. The competition of the numerous joint-stock banks has operated much to the pre judiceme trepooflist,hewholodre they school of private bankers, especially in the due bounds by the Bank (thejoint-stock banks) are kept within aa England where c h a the t charter, r , managementwhich f o s forbids i is, s the issue of their own Lte o s r , generally speaking, unexceptionable. The Sub-Committee holders presented , we understand, and Portuguese bond ant last Wednesday at the weekly me eting of the Committees, t ecopy of a me morial to the Lo the use ofthe previous to a petitio n being sent to the rd British Mayor, f he bondholders Legislature to extend to honour itsprotection towards them, and begging the Lord Ma y or Egyptian Hall for a meetingrequesting guedfo the meeting by most r o h t hundreds and making this application taking the t C o h ahiirs.

Toreno's conversion scheme in 1834, Mendiza bal's mal-practices in 1836, w hen 5,000,0001. of ficti tious bonds were thrown on the market while the divi dends were suspended ; the unpaid Treasury bills of 1837, and the arbitrary decree of the 2d of November, 1840, are forcibly brought under his Lordship's consideration, as are also the frightful losses sustained by the bondholders, whilst numerous unprincipled adventurers have amassed colossal for tunes. Records of the proceedings of the House of Commons are referred to in support of loans being a legitimate branch of trade, and equally entitled to the protection granted by the Government to all other commercial transactions. Lord Pal. merston's opinions are quoted in.favour of this principle. The Lord Mayor is, moreover, reminded of the numerous meetings which have been convened at the Egyptian and Guildhall in behalf of the Italian, Polish, and even Spanish refugees. TIMES.—The introduction of railroads into the Brazils is ,mentioned in the private letters last received from Rio Janeiro, and the project of one to extend thence through the wealthy districts of St. Paul, Iguasser, Piraby, Barra, Manza, Re ierido, Campo Bello, &c., a distance of some 120 miles, was already before the public. It possessed exclusive privileges from the Emperor, and seems to be taken up with some spirit by several of the chief coffee planters, through whose districts it will pass, as it will be the medium for the transmission of their produce to market, and so impressed do they appear to be with the utility of such an un dertaking when finished, that they have granted accord ing to these letters, portions of land for this purpose gratuitously. The only drawback that is seen to th• p• as of such a concern is the high rate of discount, nearly 10 and 12 per cent., now current in the Rio market, and this seems in a measure to have struck the projectors themselves, who, however, hope to obviate the difficulty by the influential list of persons who have already undertaken to give their sup port to it. They certainly acknowledge that parties who loan out their moneys at such high rates of discount will not be over-inclined to invest them in the shares of a railway under taking, where the profits for the present must be a matter of secondary considerat►on. Notwithstanding this, they express themselves very sanguine of carrying out this scheme, coupled as it is with the countenance of the Government, and the in terest of some of the most influential persons in the Brazils, and they hope to effect at as moderate a cost as those of the United States. COURT OF ALDERIIIEN. Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of re ceiving a Report from the Gaol Committee on the im portant subject of the ventilation of the Courts of the Old Bailey. Doctor Reid was present during the pro ceedings. SWEARING IN OF SHERIFFS MAGNAY AND ROGERS. The two new Sheriffs were introduced and sworn, in accordance to the usual forms. VENTILATION OF THE OLD BAILEY COURTS. Sir MATTHEW WOOD said he brought up the Report of the Committee to whom it had been referred to con sider Dr. Reid's plan for improving the ventilation of the Courts in the Old Bailey. The Committee were of opinion that the plan ought to be adopted—he con sidered it a matter of great moment, and moved that the Court should agree with the Committee in. their Report, which was as follows : To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor and Court of Al dermen. We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, your Committee in relation to gaols, do certify. that our at tention having lately been called to - the complaints made by the Judges, Magistrates, and other parties attending at the Central Criminal Court, in the Old Bailey, of the bad and defective state of the ventilation of the same, and it having been represented to us that a very effectual mode had recently been adopted for ventilating the Houses of Parliament by Dr. Reid, we requested his attendance, and accompanied by the clerk of the City's works, went with him to the Sessions House, to give him an opportunity of inspecting the same ; and to re port to us how far his plan might be applied with ad vantage there, and we directed the clerk of the works to , afford him every facility in making any further survey he might find requisite. That we have since been attended by Dr. Reid, who laid before us a report of the result of his labours, with sundry plans explanatory of the same, together with an estimate of the expense, which we have caused to be hereunto annexed for the information of this Hon. Court, and we recommend the same to their serious and atten tive consideration. We beg further to certify that as the Sessions House and their works and alterations are more immediately under the directions of the Committee, for letting the City's landS, we requested a conference with a depu tation from that Committee, to whom we exhibited Dr. Reid's plan 4, and who fully explained to theni the nature and extent of the same ; and we have sirice re ceived a resolution from the deputation, stating that they would recommend the Land Committee to await the decision of this Honourable Court upon the subject. Under these circumstances, and feeling satisfied that it is highly desirable the work should be done, and also considering that at the period from the termination of the present : sitting of the Central Criminal Court to the next sitting of that Court, would afford the best oppor tunity for effecting the same, we recommend this Ho nourable Court to direct a communication to be made to the Committee for, letting the City's lands, requesting they will present a report to the Court of. Common Council for authority for the work to be proceeded with under their directions accordingly. All which we sub mit to the judgment of this Honourable Court, this 6th. day of July, 1841. P. LAURIE. MATTHEW WOOD. MICHAEL GIBBS. REPORT AS TO THE VENTILATION OF THE NEW AND OLD COURTS, OLD BAILEY. My Lord and Gentlemen, The defective State of the ventilation at the CoArts in the Old Bailey, which I have examined according to your instructions, arises principally from the following causes :- 1. The inadequate supply of fresh air. 2. The imperfect discharge of the vitiated air, a large proportion of which is returned indefinitely upon the person, instead of being removed with certainty and decision. 3. The severity. of the:currents, arising from inade quate diffusion, and the necessary opening of doors and windows from time to time, when the complaints are great from the deficiency in the supply of air. 4. The imperfect nature of various parts of the appa ratus in use, which presents different causes that render the air less wholesome and agreeable than it otherwise would be.. 5. The contamination of the small proportion of air supplied to a great extent with vitiated air, more parti cularly from the hall and other passages. In the kitchen there is a cesspool having no connection with any drain, into which about thirty pails of water arc introduced daily during the sitting of the Courts, all of which ap pears, so far as I have been able to ascertain, to mingle by evaporation with the atmosphere the kitchen, and to find its way to the passages. • It will be obvious that defects Buell as these cannot be effectually remedied without introd4cing arrangements of proportionate magnitude, as in the, orginal construction of the Courts, it could not be expTted, from the period at which they were built, that proirin would be made for meeting the views now entertained as'to the nature and importance of ventilation ; wile ~ the chambers be low and above both Courts, excelittg on the roof of the New Court, are so much occupied that few facilities are presented for diffusive ventilation, by which alone any degree of comfort can be given in places so liable to a fluctuating attendance as these Courts must be. Under the circumstances, and proceeding upon the assumption that two thousand persons are as many as it would be necessary to provide air for, according to the replies to the various inquiries upon which I entered in reference to this point, I have to propose the following arrangements. It may be proper for me to premise, however, that 2,000 persons, twelve hours a day in Court, require air for 28,800,000 respirations during that period, independent of what may be neces sary for the surface of the body 1. Let a chamber be provided for the reception of fresh air where it shall escape much of the contamina tion it receives at present from eating houses, chimneys, &c., in the immediate vicinity. 2. Let the air be filtered from soot as it enters the chamber, washed, when necessary, with lime-water to remove various impurities, and finally be propelled to the Courts by a fanner worked by a steam-engine. This!ar rangement appears to be the only economical plan that will ensure the ventilation of the Courts, considering the peculiarity of their position, and the manner in wich they are hemmed in on all sides by different apartments. 3. Let chambers be provided below each Court, that the air may enter diffusively, and as imperceptibly as possible, the diffusion being regulated by perforated zinc or porous cloth at every place represented by the red dotted line in the plan of the Courts. 4. Let a mild hot water apparatus be procured, and let it be arranged in such a manner that by the mere opening or shutting of a valve, it may be made to afford any propor tion of warmth, such as the circumstances of the moment may require.. I must here remark, that though ventila tion may be induced without warming the air before it enters the Court, still the two questions are inseparably connected, more especially as in an apartment not venti lated, the vitiated air stagnated around the person pro duces part of that warmth which ought to be procured from other sources, and which is required to a greater and greater extent, the more freely the air is supplied. To some constitutions, the absence of offensive currents, and the supply of air at a proper temperature, is as im portant as a supply of pure air. 5. Let the entrance of the air to the Court be regulated by a single valve, so that the amount may be pro portioned to the state of the external atmosphere, and the fluctuating attendance, so that the effect pro duced upon the person may in all cases be as nearly as possible the same, whatever changes may ensue, either in the attendance at the Court or in the external atmo sphere. 6. Let the foul air also be discharged through a single aperture, a valve being provided there, also to be used under particular circumstances. 7. One external discharge from each Court may be provided, but one alone for both would be preferable, but also more costly, from the cuttings required in the roof. 8. The external discharge should be protected from the action of currents of air by a cowl, or any equivalent modification of the cowl. 9. The galleries should be supplied with pure air from the fresh air chamber. 10. A communication should be established between the cess-pool in the kitchen and the adjoining drains. All the above points are essentially connected with the ventilation of the Courts alone, and would cost, as nearly as I can estimate, about 1,9251. In stating this sum it may be proper for me to mention that a precise estimate cannot be formed, as the precise facilities or difficulties that may be met with in following out the underground cuttings must necessarily modify the result. But Ido not consider that there would be a difference of 1001., which might be either left or more than the sum mentioned according to details that could only be ascertained as the works proceed. I ought also to observe, that my estimate is founded prin cipally upon the cost of similar works executed in the Queen's Benoh and Bail Courts, Westminster, in the In solvent Debtors' Court, and in various other buildings in London. I should not consider this Report complete did I not submit for your consideration, that it would be advisable that some minor arrangements should be made for the ventilation of the hall, staircases, and some of the principal apartments in connection with the Courts, In places where the principal room has been venti lated without some attention being paid to lobbies and contiguous apartments, the contrast between the air where ventilation has been introduced, and where it has not, often leads to complaints that would not other wise be made, and to the introduction of ventilation in these minor apartments at a future period at a consider able increase of cost. An additional sum of 1501. or 2001. would enable the ventilation to be greatly improved in all the places now referred to. Again,oilny inablylbuildings constructed in the usual man ner, there is a d e f ect o b serve d i n t h e moveme nt of air entirelyne r windows n double coldweather, windows, which this not can essen tially connected with th e genera l arrangemen t s for ven tilation, though most imp or t an t i n p reven ti ng local dis comfort in the seats next th e w i n d ows , i s b r ought before your notice as a separate question that can be considered remediedd ied either at present or at a future period. Lastly, in making the above report, I have to men tion that I have had the advantage of communicietiDg with Mr. Montague, who has assisted me in obtaining the information required as to the present state of the buildings ; and I have the satisfaction to state that he is of opinion that the several works may be executed without interfering with the character or stability of the building. I have the honour to remain, my Lord and Gentlemen, Your very obedient servant, (Sigtied) D. B. REID. Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion. He trusted the Court would be unanimous in recommending the adoption of Dr. Reid's plans. It was universally admitted that he had successfully applied them in the ventilation of both Houses of Parliament, an object of paramount importance, which had often been attempted, and as often failed.—(Hear, hear.) The best evidence that Dr. Reid had been completely successful in his operations on the Houses of Parliament was to be found in the fact, that at the conclusion of his labours they had rewarded his talent and perseverance with a complimentary gra tuity of 1,0001. over and above the stipulated compensation. The proper ventilation of courts of justice was of the deepest consequence, not only to the health and lives of judges and officers of the Court, •but to the administra tion of justice itself. It was impossible for a judicial functionary to pay undivided attention to the all-impor tant subject before him, or vigorously to grapple with the difficulty of an intricate case, with a body subdued by the weight of pestilential exhalations, or a mind dis turbed by watching the constant changes to which he became exposed, if he attempted to relieve himself from a foetid atmosphere by admitting currents of air through open windows, to which, in the present imperfect state of all their Courts, they were compelled to resort.— (Hear, hear.) The Report was confirmed, nem. con., so that the complaint will soon be effectually removed. The Court then adjourned. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the CommoN SERGEANT.) John Groom was indicted for obtaining by false pretences the sum of 10s. the property of Ann Cole. The prisoner went to the house of the prosecutrix who keeps a shop at Islington, and asked her for change for half a sovereign for Mrs. Harris, a friend of the prosecutrix. She counted out the money on the counter, and the prisoner took it up, saying he had forgotten the half sovereign, but would return in a few minutes with it. He then went away with the money but not returning as he had promised, the prosecu trix sent to Mrs. Harris, and found that she had sent for no change whatever. Information was given to the police and the prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner said nothin g in his defence, and the Jury at once found him Guilty and he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. George Hart and Ann Miles were indicted for uttering a counterfeit half-crown. _ _ . Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Doane conducted the prosecution. It appeared that the prisoners who are old offenders, went together to a coffee-shop, where the female prisoner tendered a bad half-crown in payment for two cups of coffee. It was immediately discovered to be bad, and the prisoners instantly attempted to escape, but were prevented, and detained till a constable arrived. The constable requested to see the half-crown, and when it was presented to him hart snatched it out of his hand and swallowed it, but it wai afterwards found along with another counterfeit half-crown which the prisoner had also swallowed on the same day. The coffee-house keeper marked the half-crown immediately on receiving it, and was therefore able to identify it. Both half crowns had been made by the same mould. The Jury instantly returned a verdict of Guilty against both prisoners. The COMMON SERGEANT sentenced them to be seve rally imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for one year. Samuel Holmes, a youth only 17 years of age, was convicted of burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Charles Crpsi, with intent to steal. The prosecutor, who keeps a public-house in Blooms bury, stated that on the night of - the 2d instant, he closed his house at twelve o'clock, and, fastened all the doors and windows. About two o'clock he was alarmed, and on going into the parlour he found the prisoner lying under one of the tables, and a quantity of lucifer matches by his side. A police-constable proved seeing the prisoner climb up the water-spout attached to the house of the prosecu tor, and get in et one of the windows ; he instantly gave an alarm, and the prisoner was taken into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had arrived from the country only the day previous, and having walked about for a long time, felt tired. On passing the prosecutor's he saw a man standing at the door, and on asking him whether he could find a place to sleep in, the man told him he might sleep in. the parlour, but not to go away till he saw him again. The Jury, in consequence of the prisoner's youth, re commended him to mercy, and The Learned JUDGE sentenced him to three months' hard labour in the House of Correction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. WORSHIP-STREET. Subeicrous ATTACK.—SamueI King, who wore the garb of a butcher, was charged before Mr. Bingham, with having violently assaulted Mr. Alford, a shoemaker, living in College-street, Hackney. The complainant (whose face was shockingly dis figured by marks of violence) stated, that soon after twelve o'clock on the preceeding night, he was passing through Grove-lane, Hackney, on his way home, when he saw the prisoner lying motionless at the side of the road, and, supposing that he was in a fit, he advanced towards him for the purpose of rendering him some assistance.. Upon stooping over him, however, witness perceived that he was " wide awake," and that he was evidently simulating drunkenness ; and he was about to proceed on his way when the prisoner started upon his feet and struck him such a tremendous blow between the eves that he fell senseless to the ground. It was his belief that the blow was inflicted with a stone or some other hard substance. On recovering his senses he found himself surrounded by several persons, amongst whom was a policeman, who had the prisoner in custody. Not a word was uttered on either side prior to the attack. Police constable No. 77, stated that he was on duty in Grove-lane, when his attention was attracted by the sound of a heavy fall, and on reaching the spot, he found the prosecutor, whose face was suffused in blood, lying insensible on the ground. The prisoner was in the act of making off, but witness stopped him and took him into custody. He did not appear at all intoxicated, and when the complainant charged him with the outrage, he said the latter assaulted him first. Sergeant Hawk, No. 6, said that the prisoner had been convicted of felony at the Old Bailey, and. he bore a most infamous character. Grove, the gaoler, also recognized the prisoner as having been charged with felony at this Court. The prisoner denied the assertions of the officers, and said that it was not he but his 'brother who had been in Newgate. Mr. BINGHAM said that he strongly suspected the pri soner's object in snaking the attack, was to commit a highway robbery, but as there was some doubt on the point, he should give him the benefit of it, and treat the case as a simple assault. He should order him to pay a fine of 60s. or be imprisoned for two months in the House of Correction.—The prisoner was committed. Sarah Clarke was finally examined upon several charges of having stolen plate and other property from dwelling-houses in which she had occupied apartments. The prisoner in all the cases had employed the same stratagem in order to accomplish her nefarious design, that of despatching the inmates on sham messages to the East India House, and plundering the place during their absence. Several witnesses attended who were desirous of preferring fresh charges against her, but the Magis trate considered it unnecessary to enter into them, those already heard having been clearly made out. The depositions in three cases were completed, and the prisoner was committed for trial. THE tWEATHER.—NooN, JULY 6. ROYAL GALLERY OF SCIENCE, ADELAIDE-STREET.

The value of Sight and Hearing can never be truly estimated but by its loss. Sedentary occupations, close ap plication to business, continual reading and writing, Intense study, the use of bad and improper Spectacles, and Earlnstruments, all conspire to injure these best of nature's gifts, the Eyesight and Hearing. It is, indeed, of vital importance that the adop tion of Spectacles to imperfect vision should be regulated on proper prin. ciples. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Albemarle-street, Pie.. cadilly, opposite the York Hotel, arid 76, King William.street, City, have devoted their whole lives to this branch of science, which has enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a new construction ; immediately they are placed before imperfect vision, either by day or candlelight, that mist and dulness which appear before the eyes is at once removed, every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most aged imperfect sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is brought t o it s y o uthful, natural, and original state.
