Among the difficulties attending the manure ques tion, there are some that are peculiar to London, and that will tend to show its appl:cation to be far less favourable there than in any other locality : Pint, the great amount of stable dung and other surface manure available to the immediate neighbour-- hood, so that for four or five miles around London, comprehending the City, itself a very extensive area, the sewerage matter would be comparatively of small value, and would require a conveyance or removal to considerable distances. Secondly, milt such a dense population the perfection with which all the arrangements for the edlection, preparation (if any), end removal of the matter must be carried out. Thirdly, the increased expense of attaining that perfection, as well as of every part of the establish ments that must necessarily be situated even in London or in its immediate neighbourhood. Nor can London in its site be said to possess any advantage for its collection of the sewerage. It is for the most part lo w an d fl at, w i t h out f a ll s or soils favourable to the construction of channels and receptacles, and necessarily requiring the matter to be raised by mechanical means to render it available for manure. . . .• N°: 17 - 852.1 LONDON ) WEDNESDAY - . - • .

After de ducting interest upon the capital expended in furni tute and fittings, ten per cent. upon that elpital for depreciation, and allowing 5001. a year for tenant's profits, there was left a gross rental of 1,194/. From that they deducted, as they were entitled to do, a sum sufficient to keep the place in such repair as to -command that amount of rent, and after these de- . ductions there was a net rental of 964/., at which sun the trustees contended they ought to be rated.

Eiders are found in greatest numbers in Iceland and the Ferri Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to be Proof against the most severe cold, and even the small quantit3 Which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wil serve in the formation of a Palet6t, which, while it has most extra- ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the fines , and thickest blanket, the great desideratum for a winter garment being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.

Tin BIRMINGHAM CATTLE SHOW.—BIRMINGHAM, TUESDAY.—Ths private view, to the admission of which the price was considerably enhanced, was this day at tended by a numerous and most influential company of persons interested in the improvement of breeding and farming stock. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen present were the Earl of Aylesford, Lord Hatherton, Sir Francis Lawley, the Hon. Mr. Ly ttelton, Mr. Spooner, M.P., Captain Dilke, Mr. W. Matthews, Mr. Craddock, Mr. Jesson, Mr. Lucy, the Mayor of Birmingham, &c. Upwards of 1,000 persons visited the Bazaar during the day; and to this number may be added an attendance equally large, which will, no doubt, visit the exhibition during the evening. This, considering the exclusive charge, is considerably beyond the anticipations of the managers. If the succeeding days—Wcdneaday, Thurs day, and Friday—are equally successful, the Birming ham and Midland Counties exhibition may be deemed completely and permanently established, and there is now every reason to _augur that such a consummation will be achieved. question. Entertaining a jealousy with regard to the unfortunate woman (his wife), he ,accused her of in fidelity, and said to her, "No woman can love two -men at once," and immediately afterthe had spoken he got up and stabbed his wife in•the neck with a table knife. They then grappled, and both fell down the stairs, in 'doing which the 'woman was stabbed three times in the neck. She cried out, "Don't murder me for the sake 'of my child," and then the prisoner was heard to say, "1 have now fini -bed the job." The woman was taken to the Manchester In firmary, when it was found the prisoner had stahhed her twice on the left side of the- neck, once on the right side, and once under the chin ; a severe cut also was found upon the Tight thumb. .The table knife with which the wounds w er e i n ffitt e d was f o und in the prisoner's room covered - with. blood, and on its being shown to the prisoner at the: station-house, he said, "That's the thing with' which I did the job." The prisoner, in defencersaid that he had been drinking at Bolton, and that at the time ha committed the act he was so intoxicated lie was iiot aware what he was doing. His LORDSHIP summed up, and left it to the jury to say with what intent the prisener stabbed his wife. The jury returned a verdict of cutting and wound ing, with intent to murder. - His LORDSHIP, in passing sentenee,r'allul4 to IV fatal effects of intoxication, which had nearly ' caused; the prisoner to murder her whom it was his duty to protect, and ordered sentence of death to be recorded, intimating that that sentence would be commuted into transportation for life. John Nelson was charged with being at large in the city of Manchester without lawful excuse, before the expiration of the term for which he was trans ported. Mr. Monk conducted the - prosecution ; the prisoner was undefended. _ _ It appeared from the evidence of several officers of the detective police in Manchester, that the prisoner, under the name of John Clough, was tried and convicted at the Borough Court of Manchester in 1847 of a burglary committed in the house of a haberdasher named Thomas Keats, for which he was sentenced by the Court to be transported for ten years ; in pursuance of which sentence he was sent as a convict to Gibraltar, from which place he escaped in the February of the present year, and having been advertised in the Hue and Cry, the Man chester police were on the look out, and succeeded in capturing him in October last. The prisoner, in his defence, said that he had been transported under the name of James Crabtree, and having been sent to Gibraltar, he was set at large by the authorities at that place. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence —fourteen years' transportation. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice TA LFOURD.) William Smith was charged with having at Liver pool, on the lath of November, forged an order for the delivery of goods. Mr. Simon prosecuted; the prisoner was unde fended. It appeared that William Howson, who is a hosier and hardware dealer in Paradise-street, Liverpool, received the following note on the afternoon of Tues day, the 13th of November Halewood, Nov. 12, 1849, "Robert Neilson, Esq., desires me to order from you as under—Mr. Neilsen having Leen informed your goods were of first quality :—Two pair Scotch Singlets ; two ditto drawers, woollen ; three pair lambswool hose. If these are good, you may expect Mr. Neilson's orders. I beg to ray 3 our orders for coals would be esteemed a favour. "I am, sir, yctir obedient sei vant, "E. F. WILSON. " To Mr. Howson, Para iise•street. "P.S.—You will please send them, with bill enclosed, under cover to Mr. M'Gee, flour dealer, corner of Alice street Paddington•edge-bill, before six this evening (Tuesday). Payment will be made in the course of a or two." The prosecutor, not thinking that all was right, saw Mr. Neilson, and finding that he had not or dered the goods, nor authorised any person to do so for him, a psrcel was made up, and directed to M`Gee's, and an officer was placed to watch in a concealed part of the shop. Siortly after the pri soner called, and asked if there was a parcel for him;- to which Mri. AlTTee' %plied-that .there was a parcel for Mr. Robert Neilsen, and theri - the prisAer said, " That's me." Mrs. M'Gee then delivered the parcel to him, which he carried off, but was imme diately pursued, and brought back by the officer who was in hiding. 1113 LORDSHIP summed up. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence—twelve months' im prisonment. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Dec. 11. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge.) The Court sat specially to take the following case:— THE TRUSTEES OF EXETER HALL, STRAND, V. THE POOR-RATE OF ST. MLRTSN-IN-TI3S•FIBLDS. Mr. Bodkin and Mr. Ballantine appeared for the appellants, and Mr. Pashley and Mr. Huddlestone for the respondents. After rather more than an hour had been occupied by the counsel in a discussion as to which side had the right to begin, Mr. BODKIN proceeded to state the ease fur the ap pellants to the Court. After briefly alluding to the contest that had taken place as to the right to begin, he stated that the present was an appeal under the provisions of the Act 6 and 7 William IV., cap. 943, sec. 6, against the present assessment of Exeter Hall to the poor-rate of the parish in which it was situate, the trustees of that establishment appearing as appellants. For some considerable time khe sum at which it was so assessed was 1,0001., the fair rateable value of the property, but the parish officers raised th 3 assessment and fixed it at 1,500/. ; and though the trustees were satisfied that such an assessment as that was one much beyond the rateable value, they preferred to abide by it, rather than become involved in any contest with the paro chial authorities. But in the present year the parish officers had thought proper to raise the assessment from 1,5001. to 2,5001., which the trustees felt them selves bound to protest against, and accordingly they appealed against such increase to the special sessions, by which the proceedings of the parish officers were confirmed, and consequently the trustees were com pelled to come to this court to obtain that which they could not obtain in the court below, a just and fair rating of their property—not that he in any way impugned the judgment and the discretion that court had exercised in this matter. Now he should pro duce to this court, to enable it to come to a right conclusion as to what the rateable value of Exeter Hall was, the accounts of the receipts and expendi ture, which he apprehended would speak for them selves. Exeter Hall had originated in the public spirit of some individuals, who were sensible of the necessity that existed for some establishment to be devoted to the purposes of meetings of a charitable, benevolent, or scientific character; and in these and other respects the edifice in question had provided the public with an accommodation they did not be fore possess. By the deed of incorporation the pro prietors were bound to confine the building to re ligious, charitable, and scientific purposes ;" but it had been urged that the steps that had been made in the place to advance the science of music was a devi ation from the principles upon which it was origi nated ; but he could not see any reasonable basis upon which such an assertion could be founded. Lat terly the accommodation the building afforded had been extended; it had occasionally been let to musical associations and for musical entertainments, and con sequently the revenue had been increased; but he apprehended that because at any particular period there had been an increase of revenue arising from fluctuating causes, such as a passing excitement in the public mind, when the accommodation the place afforded was in full demand, the parish officers coal‘i not come in and assess the establishment upon the amount of revenue that was derived at such par ticular period. That was a fictitious value—a real rental could not be calculated therefrom. But the course he proposed to take was this—to take the average rental for the last three years, snake the necessary deductions, and then give the net rental as the rateable value. The receipts for the three yeare ending in April last gave an aversg s of 3,3821. for each year ; but such were the variations to which this return was liable that, in a former year, there had been an entire loss of some 9001. or 1,0001. It depended upon the public taste, and upon the competition t 1 at was rising up. All upon which the revenue depended was uncer tainty ; and therefore it was better that an average income should be taken rather than the income at one I particular period. The question was what rent would During the investigation Mr. Sergeant ADAMS inquired whether the directors had an absolute con trol over the building, and the deed of incorpora tion was handed to him. Having perused it, he said it appeared to him that the directors were bound to confine Exeter Hall to " religious, charitable, and scientific" purposes. It was competent, therefore, for the teaching the science of music to be carried on there, but he was inclined to think that it was not competent for them to give public concerts. M. Jullien and other musical celebrites were in attendance upon subpoona, bat they were not exa mined. The court then adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. tTIANSIOIV-HOUSE. The unexpected appearance of Joseph Ady yester day to answer another complaint made by the Post office authorities, brought together a great number of people in the justice-room. Mr. Peacock attended for the Post-office. Ady was summoned under one of the Post-office Acts, for having neglected to pay the sum of 11/. 63. due to her Majesty for the duty of postage, and to show cause why a warrant of distress should not be granted for the recovery of that sum, pursuant to the directions of the statute. Before the defendant appeared he sent the follow ing extraordinary document to the Lord Mayor ADIIO decimo et undecimo, ,Vicorize liNginm, cap. 71, intituled ' An Act for the more easy recovery of Small Debts and Demands within the City of London, 2d July, 1847,' page 447, section 24:—And be it en acted, that nothing in the Act contained shall be con strued to alter or affect the Court of Hustings, in the city of L. ndon, or the Court of Our Lady the Qaeen, holden before the Lord Mayor and Aldermen in the Chamber of the Guildhall of the city of London. or to take away, lessen, or diminish the powers and jurisdiction of the s lid courts, or either of them, i. e., the two courts. My Lord Mayor, this Act, intituled for the more easy reco very of small debts, 84c., supersedes yours, viz , the Lord Mayor sitting in the Poultry, and not at Guild hall, theri.fore I protest against )our summons " Respectfully, " JOSEPH ADY." Upon appearing to answer the complaint the de fendant read and handed in a paper, of which the fol lowing are the contents : " I request and demand that my protest bo entered on the jouri a!3 of the court. " My Lord Mayor, prior to pleading to the charge made against me, 1 bog your Lord6hip's sanction to au adjournment of the case to a future day, fur the loilow fog reasons:— At a late hour on Friday night, indeed after I bad retired to rest, your Lordship's summons was left at my residence. This summons calls me to answer nearly 1,400 distinct charges, and I am invited to inspect the whole of those letters, four hours only being allowed me. " On applying to Mr. Peacock for an adjournment, ho refused me, offering, however, to extend the. time to be allowed for inspection four hours only. When I re ceived this concession two hours of the time had passed away, leaving me but six hours to accomplish an impos sibility, as your Lordship will readily perceive when you consider that it would give me leia than a quarter of a minute to inspect each letter. "I am anxious, my Lord, to have full opportunity to car4ully and more leisurely inspect these letters, as I am advised that I may have good ground of defence against this claim, or, at least, a consider able portion of it. Upon this ground I trust your Lordship will grant an exten sion of time, a!, upon such investigation, I shall deter mine whether or not to cell in professional aid. " What forgery is easier done than for that wretch accursed of Moses, ex-magistrate of Greenwich, who was detected in concocting fake evidence, end bribing false witness to support 500 of them.—(Laughter.) " Whet is easier than to print a few thousand imi tations of my circular intended for owners of unclaimed dividends, printed in 1848 in the Bank, and direct each to dead men who cannot receive them—(Laughter)—and then, of course, have them returned to the Post-office, for the purpose of putting me to expense." The Loan MAYOR said he had no alternative but to proceed with the case, and that it was well known the defendant had been treated upon all occasions by the Post-office authorities with the utmost indulgence. Mr. Peaccck then stated the case, as it was after wards supported in evidence, and said that the de fendant had resorted to the stratagem of making hundreds of the letters he had posted appear as if they had been stamped, and that the stamps had been re moved from them. Mr. William Scrivener, clerk in the Dead Letter office of the Post-office, said—l produce 1,356 letters, which have been returned to the Dead Letter office, on account of the officers not baing able to deliver them to the persons addressed. I have examined the letters. They purport to come from Mr. Joseph Ady, and the charge for the postage is 111. 6s. W. Morgan, assistant to the letter receiver in Fen church street, said, Mr. Ady is in the habit of posting letters at our receiving house. On the 16th of October 700 letters were posted by Mr. Ady. They were unpaid, and most of them bore marks as though they had previously been stamped, and the stamps had been taken off. They were mostly ad dressed to farmers in the country. Ady—Pray who posted those letters ? Witness— You did. You brought them in a bag with you. Ady—Oh ! very well !—(Laughter.) Witness—l examined them immediately. Ady—Can you swear that there were no ',stamps on them ? Witness—l can swear that if theft had been stamps on them the stamps were off when I re= ceived them. Ady then desired to be allowed to examine the letters, and upon looking at one of them asked whether the witness could say that it had had no stamp upon it ? The witness—That was one of the 700 you brought in the bag. You brought them to sue inside, and gave them into my hands. Henry Daniels, letter-carrier to the General Post dice, said—l tendered these letters to the defendant, and demanded 11/. 63. postage on 1,356 letters. I saw the defendant himself, and the answer he gave me was that there was no money. Ady—My Lord Mayor, you surely cannot say that was a refusal to pay ?—(A laugh.) The LORD MAYOR-17ou are summoned for having neglected to pay, and the fact of your not paying is what the law considers neglecting or refusing to pay, Ady—No man can swear that I refused to pay. There was no refusal, and I protest against any con viction. The LORD MAYOR—Have you anything more to say, defendant, than what your paper contained ? Aday—No, I don't know that I have; but that I shall appeal I do know. The LORD MAYOR—The evidence has satisfiel me that you owe for the postage of 1,356 letters ; and Sou must pay 117. ss. and costs, amounting to 35., forth with. There is no appeal. Ady—Oh yes, there is. The LORD MAYOR—Under what clause ? Ady— Well, then, you will allow me to protest ? The LORD MAYOR—Certainly ; you may protest if you please. I have no objection at all to that ; but you must pay the money nevertheless.—(Laughter.) Ady then requested to be allowed a month, but his Lordship said the distress warrant should be forthwith issued ; and it was to he hoped the defendant would take means of avoiding so disagreeable an alternative. The postage end costs were paid before the pro ceedings terminated. Theloup MAYOR requested that the press would oblige him by acknowledging that he had received the LAMBETH. Yesterday James Sinclair and John Anderson, who had been remanded on two previous occasions on a charge of being concerned in several daring highway robberies and using the most murderous violence to wards their victims, were again placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott. A third person, who gave the name of Daniel Fitzgerald, was also placed at the bar as an accomplice. Sergeant Hardwick, 7 D, who apprehended the prisoners, stated that there were in attendance two officers belonging to the Millbank Penitentiary, who would prove that the prisoner who gave the name of Anderson, but whose real name was Ferguson, bad been convicted and sentenced to transportation, and had been sent from Miilbaek on board the Warrior convict-.ship, lying off Woolwich. Some years ago he (Sergeant Hardwick) apprehended the prisoner Fitzgerald on a charge of felony, and he was then con victed and sentenced to seven years' transportation. On apprehending him on the present charge, and on their way to the station house, Fitzgerald told him that the prisoner Anderson had been a fellow-convict with him on board the ‘Varrior, and that his real name was Ferguson. He (Hardwick) was not yet able to prove the fact ; but he should be able to show that Sinclair was also a returned transport, and that he had made his escape from one of her Majesty's dockyards. Thomas Barry, the deputy-landlord of a common lodging-house, No. 16, Short's-gardens, Drury-lane, who had been examined on a previous day, was again called, and repeated that the prisoners Sinclair and Anderson came to lodge at his house about the middle of the last month, when Sinclair-described himself as a pensioner, and said he had ls. 11d. a day pension. On the morning of the 20:1i of that month both the prisoners were without money, and borrowed a six. pence from him, , saying that they were going to Green wich to receive some cash. On the same night, be tween the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock, they returned, in company with the prisoner Fitzgerald, and at that time they were much intoxicated, but their companion seemed sober. Sinclair pulled from his pocket and placed in his (witness's) hands the sum of 11. 12s. 14(1., and the other prisoner also gave him 16s. The other prisoner spoke to Fitzgerald in a free and friendly way, said he was a good fellow, and hoped they had satisfied him, and if not they should do so the next morning. John Wilson, a lodger in the last witness's house, repeated his statement that Sinclair had told him that he had been transported, but he did not say for what or when. The same Rrisoner had also asked him if he thought he could dispose of a watch at one of the lodging-houses at the outskirts of the town. Both Sinclair and Anderson always lived very well and seemed to have plenty of money, though they never did any work. John Evans a eabinetmaker, al s o l o d g i ng a t th e same house, said that on one occasion, when in con versation with the prisoner Sinclair, that person admitted that he was a native of Gloucester, and that his name was Robinson. On another occasion, when the landlord, Barry, was giving a distre sse d lodger an order for employment at the Mendicity Society, the prisoner said he should knock down the first man or woman he met in the street, rather than work for a shilling a day. The conversation was subsequently directed to the landlord of the house, and upon its being said that he was in the habit of going weekly to take away the rents collected from lodging houses in Whitechapel, Union-court, Holborn, and Short's gardens, Drury-lane, Sinclair asked where he lived, and said he would be worth meeting on his way home. Lockyer, the gaoler to the police. station, said on that morning, on locking up the prisoner Fitzgerald in a cell by himself, he was leaving the place when he heard the prisoner exclaim, " Hallo, Jena! You are all right." The prisoner Sinclair, from another cell, replied, "Oh ! yes, I was nailed three weeks ago in Marrowbone-lane upon three front propping' (meeting persons and striking and robbing them) cases. Fitzgerald said, " Oh, yes, I saw it in the papers." Sinclair continued and said, " Yes, but I smashed them all. You must say that you were with us on the night in question, and that we had a drop of beer together, and that will save you." The prisoners were all remanded. THE SEWAGE QUESTION. suoJEcTs THAT MAY BE NfOIITHY OF ATTEN 'nos- IN CONSIDERING PLANS OR SYSTEMS FOR THE GENERAL SE WERAGE OF THE ME 'rROPOLIS. The only objects of the Commission are— First—To rid the metropolis of the noxious sewer age matter, and of the druinAge waters, efficiently as regards health and convenience. Secondly—To effect this object with the least pos sible delay. The Commissioners consequently have nothing to do with the application of the matter to manure, except so fur as it may be combined with saving of expense to them in carrying out their pri mary object. Thus they have no right to enter into isuy prooced_ ings for its application for manure that is to increase the aggregate amount of their outlay in the smallest degree. The general benefit to the country may be of hundreds of thousands of pounds, or a million an nually ; but if the cost to the metropolitan ratepayers is only of a few hundreds of pounds to gain that ad vantage, the Commissioners would not be justified in incurring it. Such an extraneous object must in that case be taken up by others, to whom, no doubt, it would be the duty of the Commissioners to give every facility. But if it can be clearly proved that the extra cost of a system for its collection and distribution as manure, with equal advantage to health and conveni ence, would be remunerative, or even unattended with loss, it would be decidedly the duty of the Commis sion to adopt that course, a 3 uniting a great national advantage with their more peculiar charge. Such a proceeding could, however, only be justified on clear undisputed proof, foundtd on experience, and not on speculative calculations. It will probably be admitted by every one that an efficient system of sewerage is only to be obtained by an abundant flushing of water, from the very houses and first receptacles down to the final outlet and dis position of the products, and that this is incompatible with any system of boil-pits. This condition would at once put an end to many of the projects for the conversion of the matter into manure, viz , those which have for their basis the procuring of it in a snore substantial form ; and leaves to be dealt with only those in which it is calculated upon being obtained where collected in that diluted state. The quantity of water for this purpose will be very large, and it becomes a question of importa nce h ow it is to be provided. There is no self-supplying stream from a more elevated level available ; it must, therefore, be raised mechanically, and from some ample source. The Thames is at hand for the purpose in never failing quantity, standing higher, and consequeutly requiring a less lift, than any other source that could be resorted to, and of a quality good enough for this particular object. _ The mechanical means of raising it will be economized by adapting the heights of the receptacles for it to the levels, which will be just sufficient service, of the elevations of different varying districts. With regard to the manner of getting rid of the sewerage and drainage of the metropolis, the most simple and cheapest in first effect would undoubtedly be to pour it at once into the Thames. That river forms the most central, the lowest, and readiest outlet. By such a proceeding districts might be taken up and dealt with independently of one an other, and probably a great mass of the existing sewers will be turned to account, and the system combining sewerage and surface drainage might be rapidly devised and carried into execution. But two great objections are made to this system:— First, the pollution of the Thames. Secondly, the loss of the manure. With regard to the pollution of the river, it may be a question how far the objection, although very generally entertained, is sufficiently sound to justify an absolute prohibition at any cost, and whether the very dilluted state to which it is contemplated to reduce the sewerage, combined wish the best princi• pies of construction and material for the outlets, ard considering how the current from the sewers will be diffused among so large a mass of water as composes the Thames at London, would not be a complete remedy for the sanitary evil effects and sensible nuisarce (which may probably be classed together) now complained of. As to the water in the river being rendered unfit for drinking or cooking purposes, I submit the ob jection to be of Hale conaideration. ,The inhabitants ought to be provided for those purposes with better water from other sources than could be obtained from the impurity of the Thames even were all the town sewerage removed from it. The manure question is of tar greater importance and of more difficult solution. If it can be worked out to the advantage of apply ing all the sewerage matter to manure, it at once gets rid of any discussion as to polluting the river; it will however, require an entirely new and probably com bined general system—one that is full of difficulties will scarcely obtain any aid from all that at present Although most towns in this and other countries are more favourably circumstanced, I am not aware of any one that can present us with a specimen of sewerage that affords all the desired advantages and great profits that we are told are so easy of attai n m en t. It is true there are man y that well exhibit the ob jects partially obtained—that is, perhaps, on one side, and for particular portions and descriptions of land ; but in such cases that it is not generally applied where there is an example and fruitful benefit shows that it is not universally applicable. Even in cases where an entire town may be found to afford an example, it should have been followed by every other of the same country where that success must be well known. Or should even all this be found, still the analogy must be made good between the circumstances of those places and London. It would appear, however, rather that a great ex periment is to be 'nada of London, which, on account of the magnitude of the operation, is most unfavourable to the attempt. The Commissioners are, consequently, placed in a very difficult and delicate :position, and if the practi cability of the profitable application of the sewerage product to manure is ultimately decided to be estab lished so as to be a sine qua non and a leading feature in the system, I apprehend that it will be a work of much time and difficulty before the precise manner of carrying it out can be settled. While the most urgent demands are made upcn the Commissioners to accelerate, or rather not to pro tract delay in proceedings for an efficient sewerage of the city, the operation is thoroughly embarrassed by this manure consideration, one almost entirely of speculation, for experience affords very little guide towards forming a judicious project for so enormous an undertaking. The great desideratum for a plan for adoption would, in my opinion, be one, the primary object in which would be to carry off the whole matter to some available outlet in the cheapest efficient way, but in such manner as would afford facilities for intercepting and applying it as manure as a distinct measure. Then should there be a failure, it would only attach to that particular measure, and not affect the entire operation. Assuming that the Commissioners come to the con clusion that as a fixed principle all the sewerage matter is to be carried away by abundant flows of water, it may not be difficult to fix on the degree of dilution to which it is to be reduced—that is, so :.s to settle upon a minimum inclination that shall be allowed for its current, either generally or according to the classes of the several channels from the details of house drainage to the final discharging tunnels. This will bring one very important element to bear upon the plans of the sewerage, and facilitate their construction ; as would also, in a degree, fixing on dimensions for the several pipes and channels, accord ing to classes of the duty they will have to pereorm. I apprehend that the plan very generally proposed for carrying off the sewerage by one general line of tunnel (or one on each side of the river), placed longi• tudinaLy through the town, into which all the lateral sewers are to discharge their contents, is erroneous in principle : - 1. Because it must be throughout of a depth suffi cient to afford a fail from the lowest part of the city, which would very much increase filo expense and difficulty of construction and removal of the matter. 2. It must necessarily be of great length—that is, of several miles ; and, to carry the prescribed fall, it will require a depth, to which it must be carried, that would be most embarrassing, and the construc tion of which would be enormously expensive, while at the same time very great mechanical power will be required in constant and endless operation to raise the sewage matter, which, in a liquid state, will be immense in quantity. 3. It is rendering the whole city liable to the con tingencies or a No modification of this system by multiplying these longitudinal euanai. that are to run through the town, can remove the ob jections which would seem to be sufficient to con demn the principle, unless they are to subdivided in lengths as to partake of the character of a district ar rangement, which would appear to be the better cow se—cne by which each district would only be attended with those difficulties absolutely belonging to it, and not carry the greatest of them through the whole system. Systems for ventilation of sewers, which have been great subjects of discussion and di ffi culty, will be mt ch simplified, if the necessity for them at all be not entirely removed in many districts, by establish ing a free vent to the open air, towards which the uninterrupted stream shall flow. Nov. 9. J. F. BURGOYNE. THE APPROACHING HIGH TIDES AND INUNDATIONS, 1849. TO TIIE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD. Eir,—About the 29th or 30th of the present month, between the hours of two or three in the morning, a very high tide will take place, which will affect all the tidal ports of the United Kingaom, about the hours of high water at the different places ; but if continued rain should accompany the event, a tem porary inundation of the lower parts may be expected. However, not wishing to create any unnecessary alarm among the multitude, but only to put those on their guard to whom public interests, shipping, &c., are entrusted, by calling their attention to the effects of the probable extraordinary high tide, I venture to paint out the contemporaneous circumstances calcu lated to produce and increase the magnitude of the great tidal wave, which, although periodic, is yet of very rare occurrence. On the 29th of December, 1849, the earth is at its least distance from the sun (hence a superior solar tidal wave) ; at the same time the moon, being . at its full, is also at its least distance from the earth, and, by a remarkable coincidence, also at its greatest northern declination; hence the combined tidal in fluence, the destructiveness of which may be dimi nished by proper precautions. Nearly the whole of the northern hemisphere will be subject to the full force of its influence, and wherever opportunities of observation exist, we may expect to hear of high tides from all parts of the world; thus, Canton, Bombay, Aden, the West Indies, &c., will feel its effects. In a local point of view, it will be very great on the banks of the Thames, if also united to the effects of continued rains, winds, &c., which may be ex expected, having had a hot and a comparatively dry period for many months, and thus, by the law of compensation, mske up the average quantity of rain. From its sanitary influence on a great scale we may regard it as a real good, which may, perhaps, wash away many a plague-spot. Thus no ultimate benefit would result from any expensive attempt to avert an extraordinary overflow, as the banks of the Thames cannot be altered from their natural level so as to meet these temporary emergencies. Should a hard frost set in about the 29th it will check the overflow; however, the probable height of the tide at London-bridge will be thirty feet. It will be reinark,el that the tides during the day will be less, but at night much greater. I am, Sir, yours obliged, ARTHUR GEARING, Teacher of Mathematics. 2, Ranelagli-street, Le=amington. . DEATH IN COUNTING sous:.—At a large silk merchant's estaLiishment, at the west-end of Loi.don, three stout healthy young country men, who had come into the house one after the other to act as cashier, had died. The counting-house was a close room, without a window, and in which, consequently, gas was always burning. We were engaged about the house profes sionally when the last man (tied, and were requested to "do some little thing" towards ventilating the room. The step we took was to place all round the walls, im meiiately under the ceiling, a 3-inch pipe of perforated zinc (a pipe full of innumerable small holes), both ends of which were connected in one corner with a tube that came down the angle, and was taken under the floor into a flue. An amazing improvement in the atmosphere of the room was effected, and its after-cccupants re. mained perfectly healthy, albeit it ever will be a melan choly den for a man who loves sunlight, to spend the days of his youth in.—Builder.
