MORNING SUN. CITY OF LONDON BURIALS. " HOMINEM MORTUUM IN URBE NE SErELITO. " • Roman Law in the Twelve Tables. " Mr. Anderton, at a Court of Common Council held in the City on Thursday last, said that he rose to submit a mo tion of importance to both rich and poor. He was able to show that there were the most unanswerable arguments for applying to the Legislature to pi event the sepulture of the dead in future in the City of London, the only great city in the world, he be lieved, in which the practice was permitted.—( Hear, and cries of Refer it at once to a Committee.') 111 r. Anderton imme diately thereupon made a motion to that effect, which was car ried by the Court unanimsusly."—See Sun, Friday, July 30. The learned author of the Funeral Monuments sets apart a chapter especially, to show that the oldest and most savage nations never broke in upon the healthiness or salubrity of their own living quarters, by interment of the bodies of their dead within the walls or precincts of town or city ; in this case showing themselves, old and barbaric as they were, to be wiser than we, who might comparatively account ourselves as the "children of light.' } 4 rom the above quoted author, and other sources, we shall succinctly lay an account of these cities before our readers, which will of themselves bear silent testimony thia the ancient Pagan of every region upon earth has been wise enough to know that burial-places in the neighbourhood of the living are a worse than national evil ; and that they looked upon them, even in the crude state of their physics, as the originators of every noisome ness and pestilence ; while they clearly understood that the necessity for the entire removal of the dead from the immediate proximity of the living was founded upon the dangers which arise from the invariable foetid exha lations of animal decomposition. The dusk shades of the past present us with, first, the great Misraimitic branch of the Noachian family— the sage and wise Egyptians ; and then, in order due, others that acted likewise with themselves. Great as was the veneration of the Egyptians for the ashes of their ancestors, amounting almost to adoration, and though they embalmed them with myrrh and spice, yet so fearful were they of the contaminative nature of any thing that had passed into death or corruptibility, that from every wall and every city they peremptorily ex cluded those very ashes, while the places which had been consecrated for ordinary burials were destined to receive the urns. Their soldiers were from time to time employed in constructing subterranean cavities at a dis tance from the city, and the influence of their laws, na ture, and religion, was always exerted to separate the dead from the - living. Second in the category of the great cities who adopted this practice, were the Jews. The cave of He bron, and other places situated in open deserts and un inhabitated places, contained in themselves the bodies of the first women of the post-diluvian period, with the giant patriarchs themselves. There was Abraham bu ried ; there Isaac, Leah, and Rebecca, The road-side from Jerusalem to Ephratah served as the wide-removed burial-place of her whom history knows as " the beau tiful mother of Israel." Even when groaning under Egyptian thraldom, tae burials of the Israelites were still in remote and distant spots ; the valley of Moab mourned over Moses himself, and the vine and the lily on the mountains of Ephraim, bewailed the burials of Joshua and Eleazar. This dread of propinquity in any shape to the dead, took on itself a heightened form when the Hebrew multi tudes coalesced in the Land of Promise. Law then made it peremptory that to bury the dead in the houses of indi viduals was to render them utterly unclean. Nay'. so formidably did they dread any intercommunication with the departed body that travellers were even forbade to walk upon places where they were buried, and the white cenotaph, or pillar, served equally as a warning beacon as, in a minor point of view, for a memorial. The great valley of Jehoshaphat, stretched out in gloomy grandeur, as the Valley of Tombs ; and the word Ge henna deduces its origin from that continual fire, which burned perpetually in the ditch of Tophet, or vale of Hinnom, to consume the dead, and other filths of the city. Every city had, moreover, its public cemetery out of the walls. The grand public cemetery of Jerusalem itself was out in the valley of Kedron, and the burial spot for strangers, the Potter's Field, closely adjoined it. After the primitive .custom of cremation by fire gra dually grew disused among the Greeks, their lee ° islators made it the chief point in their code to abolish, ultra nurnia, the dead. Cecrops, at Athens, wished the dead to be inhumed without the city. Inviola ble rule was this also, in Thebes, Sicyon, Macedon, and the Chersonese. Plato, in his republic, would not even permit inhumation in fields fit for tillage : he re served for that purpose, dry, arid, and desolate grounds, which were available to no other use. He 'who violated this rule was cursed with maledictions, and, in a word, the whole religious doctrine of the Greeks, tended only powerfully to support the laws which directed the bodies of the dead to be removed far away from the living. Rome is not behind in her authorities. On the top of Mount Janiculum, in her first days, Numa rested his crowned head, the Mount being not then within the city. Between the city and the Tiber, lay the Kings in the Campus Martins. The imperative voice of the Twelve Tables further corroborated this law. " Hominem mortnum ill , isrbe ne sepelito neve urito" was as mighty its a Mosaic commandment; nor was it less uncondition ally obeyed. The highways were alone the burial-spots of the noblest families, and when in later times popula tion grew more numerous, Adrian prohibited, anew, in humation in cities, and Antoninus Pius, in his rescripts, included even the suburbs of the empire. It is at this point—the sun-dawn of Christianity—that the custom first began to be disregarded. Death, at this period, became invested with a holy loveliness, and the saints and martyrs who expired in its cause, were sup posed to breathe from their bodies the odour of sanctity, and to invest all precincts with a celestial perfume. Raimented, as their souls were supposed to be, in the beauty of holiness—and plenished with the sweet influ ences of the clivine Spirit—their bodies were looked upon, not in the light of bestiality and corruption, but as sanc tified and imperishable, and, by reason:of intense self mortification and penance, to have been. fitted to shine before the Throne of crystal, and to stand beside the chasteness of the Holy Son on high. Converted thus, into an object of loVe and appreciation, the practice of shrining them in cathedrals, churches, and consecrated grounds began. This at first was in a certain degree in offensive and innocent ; the noxious effects were dimi nished by reason of the unfrequency of the occurrence, and they partook, as yet, of nothing of that fearful viru lence which has taken place, like a crying plague, in our modern towns and cities. Under the Emperors Gratian, Valentine, and Theo dosius the Great, the practice of intrusion into towns and cities, was, for the reasons above cited, becoming universal ; till it had grown to such enormity, as called for the famous 'Theodosian code to be partly constituted for the sake of its annihilation. The clauses of the law which in particular relate to this circumstance express themselves as designed to prevent the infection of the atmosphere which so many funerals necessarily occa sioned. Theodosius sternly forbade the interment of the dead in the interior of the cities, and, what was stronger still, ordered that the bodies, even with every urn and monument whiCh WAS in the city of Rome, should be summarily carried without the walls. This decree was fulfilled to the letter throughout the whole llom'an empire. The Christian churches however, had by this -" m i n a , found that burials within their precincts, were a ',dame of rich and invaluable income, an. 4. the Harpagons 1f the reli gious orders yziher encouraged than resin, ce d the en croachment." * evertKeress the Council of Bracar :frt. Christi 563) published their celebrated canon, bywhich not only interment in churches was peohi',,ited, but cities had even the right to prevent any individual from being buried within their walls. Among the modern sta.t4tes against interment in churches and towns, ther s are " numbers without num ber." The Parliament:l. of Paris have, over and over ag ai n , prohibited this custom ; and the records of the t i me are eternally- speaking of the noisome and sickly inffuence which they exercised on the surrounding dis trictS: These restrictive acts have consequently created ithtige . many cemeteries which are now her safeguard s of health: Ibis a strange fact in science that till within the last century it was scarcely believed that cadaveric emana tions destroy life instantly, or give rise to va r i ous kinds .of disease, whose effects depend upon the co ncentration 'of the poison, or other accidental circumstances. But the direct and indirect effects of the churchyard are t ,„. 'somewhat better understood. Eminent men, both i n France and England, have given up their time tht?lethitsi'll,n vestigation, and unequ i vo cally determine, v support have adduced th e most f r i g htf u l i n stances in pport the fact, th a t th e d ea dli est v i rus w hi c h can come upon om the, living, i s th at o f po i sonous gases perilated miff ns, vaults, and c h urc h yar d s. Nearly all the London churchyards and churches are filled with de a d b o di es ; they have been trave ll e d over and ever again by the sexton's spade ; 1,000 graves are opened every week in the metropolis ; the earth is satu rated with " h uman putrescence," and permeated by the ascending vapours, and these vapours are dreadfully mephitic, an d, i n certain circumstances, instantaneously fatal. The mortality of the metropolis is 45 per cent. higher than the.rtiortality of the country districts ; and although no death or epide m i c can b e di rect l y trace d t o the churchyards, yet there cannot be little doubt, as an eminent medical authority axpresses himself, that a part of the ex.cessive mortality is due to their concentrated exhalat',ons, and fevers, in most cases, of a violent ty phoif). nature, are the immediate and terrific results. ifard upon the commencement of the past year, 1840, fthe author of " Gleanings in Graveyards" gave to the world the result of his practical experience, after investi gation of some of the chief burial-grounds in the metro polis, and as the City has again taken u p thi s su bj ect i n +R warm and po s itiv e manner, for the further rectifica ti'm of the evil, a condensed and accurate recitation of the then infamous state of the London churchyards will tend to apprize the reader of what the genera it/ of them were at that period, and from these few he may gather the enormity of the system, and judge of the very dread ful extent in other qucrters, more central in the C.ty, which have not yet been under examination. eL ENE NT'S-LAN E. —The back window of the houses on the east side of this lane look into a burying-e•round, called the " Green Ground ;" on the west side the win dows admit the odour of another burying -place —a pri va t e one, called E non Ch a p e l—t o p er fl ate the houses ; at the bottom, the south end, is the burying-place of the alms houses ; and in the centre of the Strand are the burying ground and vau lt o f St. Cl ement ' s D anes. So that in a distance of 200 yards the living breathe on all sides an atmosphere impregnated with dead odour. They are consequently very unhealthy, and typhus fever rages in it* most aggravated form. /3 ITRY/NG-G RORND, PORT LIG AL-BTREET.—This called the " G reen • Ground, " is absolutely saturated with' human putrescence. Graves have been frequently seen open, and baffles brutally exhumed. The effluvium froin it is at times so offensive, that persons l• • er it are. din- Rusted,. a t t h e , lying over mad moist fluid. onour. Th e wa l ls, too, reek with BNoN c1i4114, %lapel s adparated from ifs lower part underneath by a boarded floor. It is used as I a burying-place, and is crowded at one end, even to the ceiling-top, with dead. Vast numbers of bodies had, in 1839, been placed here in pits, dun for the purpose, the uppermost of which were covered by only a few inches of earth. Soon after interments a peculiarly long nar row black fly is observed to crawl out of many of the coffins, produced by the putrefaction of the bodies. A Sunday-school is weekly held over this pit of corrup tion, and it is familiarly known to undertakers as the " Dust-hole." ST. CLEMENT'S, STRAND.—There is a vault under this church called the Rector's Vault, and the products of the decomposition of the animal matter are so power ful that lighted candles at the entrance of the vaults are extinguished. On these occasions the windows of the church are opened to admit the perflation of air from the street to occupy the place of the emitted gas. Thus a diluted poison is given in exchange from the dead to the living in this thoroughfare. DRURY-LANE BURYING-GROUND.—This is a most in tolerable and highly dangerous nuisance to' the entire neighbourhood. The inhabitants of the houses arc fre quently annoyed by the most repulsive sights. RUSSELL -COURT, DRURY-LANE.—The rats here abound and grow fat with corrupting flesh. ST. GILES' BURYING-GROUND.—This ground has the melancholy notoriety of originating the plague in 1665. It was the fashion in those days to ascribe that visitation to imported contagion ; let us look to indigenous effects. Pennant spoke of it in his " London" as having often "pu trid corpses, tacked between some slight boards, dispers ing their dangerous effluvia over the capital." The pre sent condition of it is asserted not to be much better. The vaults, are however, better ventilated than the gene rality. WHITECHAPEL CHURCH.—Of this, Mr. Walker says, the vaults underneath it have been suffered to become very dilapidated ; and the smell from them, owing to decomposed bodies, is dreadfully offensive. The bury ing ground, in the midst of a dense population, is dis gusting in appearance, and the putrefactive process goes rapidly on. Numerous diseases are doubtless the result. BETHNAL-GREEN.—Here eight or ten funerals take place every day, and three or four grave-diggers are constantly employed. Water flows at four feet deep. ST. LUKE'S, OLD-STREET.—There are three burying grounds belonging to this parish. The grave-digger knows well what is the scent of the effluvia. CLERKENWELL.—Four burying-grounds belong to this parish; they are all crowded and in disorder. In this filthy neighbourhood fever prevails. SPA-FIELDS.—Though the burying-ground is large, it is well saturated with dead. So of others—so of all. But these we consider to be comparative purities, were they put in juxtaposition with some of the plague-like City grounds. Horrors would accumulate without end, and smite the senses into sick ness, were but a tithe-part of their horridness recited. One alone we will advance as a casual sample; its authen ticity may be relied on : The vaults of a church in the City, not to be named, perhaps, for evident reasons, were in a most revolting and dangerous condition, and the parishioners had for a long period during church-time been most dismally an noyed. At length, one of the churchwardens, thinking the cause of complaint might arise from external agencies vitiating the atmosphere, ordered the windows, roof, and every part of the building to be examined and made secure, and double doors were made at the entrance of the Church. Notwithstanding this precaution, the stench was still in supportable, and the congregation was at various times compelled to leave the church, some being seized with sickness during service, and conveyed home. Finding all the precautions he had taken still continued ineffec tual, the church itself was finally examined, when up wards of one hundred bodies were found in an active state of putrefaction. The workmen employed on first entering the vault were almost instantaneously pros trated on the floor, and had not the second been dragged away by force, he would have been quickly one of the corrupting mass. _ _ Whether to attribute the sluggishness which appears to have existed on the part of the City to this most vital and important point, to apathy or fatuity, we know not, but when, from the eternal agitation of the question at Paris in later years, with the dreadful and calamitous accidents with which both the English and Parisian press have been constantly rife, we remember at the same time that no single citizen in London can have failed to be a witness of this broad-staring evil, it seems to us utterly anomalous that no notice or movement should, till the present moment, have been taken of the subject. As Mr. Anderton declared before , the Common Council Court, and we have ourselves shown from record and chronicle, the vast and enlightened city of London is the only unparalleled and ostensible city, which, from the Chaldee Nineveh down to the town of Paris, has, ever adopted the insufferable and life-destroying practice of burying within the compass of its walls. At last, however, we rejoice to see that over-startling instances of terrifying occurrence, in con nexion with the lou3-languaged voice of past history, have at last wrought up some one person to battle with the nuisance—the city of London, as Mr. Anderton has emphatically learnt from both sources, was the only great city in the world, he believed, in which the practice was permitted. Now that full conscious ness of the evil is obtained, its abolishment should be as instantaneous as utter. This nuisance into lerable must not for many days longer rest like a black, pestilent plague -spot upon the City scoeheon. The pauper thousands who work in that huge Babylon from sun-break to nightfall, have enough waste of body and emaciation of limb from natural toil and labour, without having their lives shortened by extraneous means, or every gulp of air that they take—which ought at least to be balmy from heaven and salutary to existence—bloated with malaria, and suffocative of life. And this not alone for the poor, but eqiially for the rich. The lungs of her princely merchantmen axe as apt to imbibe the poison as the poorest hound. Vault, and churchyard, and char nel must no lbngrer hearse putrefaction. Alley, and lane, and roadway must no longer have its gales polluted. Stench, rottenness, and disease must be shovelled any where but amid the vitals and heart of the City. The Legislature will enact, and the nuisance be annihilated. To those miserable wiseacres who allege the insuper able expense of distant burials we say nothing. The leading question is not to be troubled with such obstruc tive vexations. If the Romans of old found a possibility of maintaining their Cop iate, who were specially appointed for removals of the dead without the city, London may do the same. To those far-seeing calculators, who would pose by questioning as to where ab ou t London the millions of her dead should be carried, we, in like vein. answer, that if Lacedmmon had its :ieramicus, Jerusalem its burial field at Ketiron, and I'aris its Pere-la-Chaise, London may easily find spots large enough and isolate enough close at hand. ISlackheath, to wit—a broad and un bounded table-;and. Sufficient p raiseca cannot be bestowed upon the decisive, unanimous, conduct of the Common Council upon the lilimed l .4te making of Mr. Anderton's motion. They have now only to follow it up with alacrity and despatch. Y,.onths must not be allowed to slide away, but clays be counted, so long as this worse than Egyptian plague perils the City. Let them cause the immediate ordinance to be passed, identical with that of Rome—" Hominem mortuum in Urbe ne sepelito." MURDER IN LISBON. LISBON, JULY 23.—A whole family, consisting of four persons, was mudered, last night in a house not 100 yards distant from my residence. - The victims were a French widow of the name of Lobo, her daughter about•lB years of age, her son a boy of twelve years, and a ser vant woman. The alarm was first give n (unfortunately too late) by a young Englishman, who lives in the house opposite, and who having heard a scuffle and seen a man go to the balcony and throw a little dog out, which he knew was a great pet of the family, immediately suspected that something wrong was going on, and at once ran off to call the police guard. Meanwhile some other neigh bours who had heard the noise, and were looking out to see what was the matter, saw a man leap out of the first floor window and run on. This took place at about one o'clock in the morning. Shortly after the police came, and having forced the doors open, found the mother, the little boy. and the servant dead ; but the girl, who was still alive, cried out, as soon as she saw them, that the murderer was her own cousin Lobo, a student of medicine, living at No. 4, Rua de S. Bento, and that he had had no accomplice in the deed. Imme diately the guard set out in quest of him, and seized him in a few minutes after he had reached his home, where they found him with his hands and clothes St eeped in blood, and with a quantity of bank no t es and Government bonds, of which he had pl un d ere d ms v ictims, about hi s p erson . He war at once brought back and ' confront e d w ith th e g i r l, w h o aga i n decla re d that be was the murderer, and that he had requested her and he did not lif e h hou ;e that night as to allow him to stay in the servant had died that evening, T - he to pass the night in the same house with a corpse. in g, but fortunately fogrirlhdied at nine o'clock this morn eweonudlsdof justice she lived long enough to give the fullestt wretch would in all probmaebevidence, e but for which ihceh was to have gone by the stea relationship to the family Oporto next day, and his suspicion. The sensation caused by this him from has been so great that I have just tis dreadful crime the C rt o pro se heard e th te a s t the Minis ter of Justice has gone down to that by a legislative act the multitude of dilatory orms by which trials are protracted for years in this country should be dispensed with in this instance, and that the criminal should be tried by a summary process and exe cuted without delay. 1 MELANCHOLY CASE OF MANSLAUGHTER. —On Sunday morning last an elderly labourin g Ivan, named John May, who has brought up two gr an d sons ' at Laindon Hills, Essex, their mother being dead, de sired one of them to go to church, when, the lad re fusing, a quarrel ensued, and the old man turning round hastily, with an oil bottle in his hand, swingi ng it, struck him with it in the temple, which caused a concussion of the brain, and uaetappily occasioned the boy's death. An inquest has been held, and a verdict of " Manslaughter" returned against the grandfather, who has been committed to the Convict Gaol, Spring field, on the Coroner's warrant. The prisoner, who is between sixty and seventy years of age, and bears the highest character, evinces the most distressed feelings. Deceased's name was John Parker, and he was about sixteen years old.—Chehnsford Chronicle. THE CROWD AT LIVERPOOL LAST WEEK. - - Immense as is the amount of accommodation in Liver pool, it was quite insufficient to meet the demand made upon it during the meeting of the Agricultural Society. A guinea a night was in many cases paid for a bed ; and at some of the inns the guests were obliged to put up, not only with sofas and chair-beds, but with sleep ing places on the floors. The railway companies and innkeepers must 'have made a splendid harvest. If the weather had not been as disagreeable as possible on Tuesday and Wednesday, the influx of visitors, immense as it was, would have bpou still greater,--Liverpool . Times, THE SUN, LONDON. TUESDAY, AUGUST 3, 1841 THE GOODWOOD RACES. The following is extracted from the British Queen : THE CUP DAY. ' A RIDE TO GOODWOOD AND BACK THE SANE DAY !"—This inviting placard, in letters sufficiently large to attract public attention, decided our wavering opinion as to the route ; and on entering the office, White Bear, Piccadilly, and finding the charge mode rate (505.), we at once booked our place to start at five o'clock on the Thursday morning ; and there we were. RS' punctual as to a hunting meet ; but no open office, no elegant four-in-hand greeted our arrival ; and, after kicking our heels for some half-hour, an omnibus of a doubtful caste arrived, and we began to suspect a " do," until we saw Wilmot, an acquaintance of the box, who politely told us " All right," and at a few minutes to six found us safely deposited in the South Western Railway deuxieme Voitures, with a couple of foreigners, and a few town faces of bygone sporting days. Coming events throw their shadows before them ; and the ele gant four-in-hand drag dropped down to a has• been, vamped up like a pair of Monmouth-street understand ings—a little wear soon unmasking the false show. The curvetting in that manner which a too free use of stimu lants creates in the lords of the creation, was so much so, that a good-natured Homo drove up to ask whether we were aware of the nature and state of our wheels? Of dislocated and broken bones we have had quite enough ; and our fears for an upset were not relieved by the remark of an outsider, that he had been like Jack, amusing himself for the last hour at speculating which wheel would come off first ; and just then the drag broke, going down one of those fearful steep hills that . form one continuous up-and-down all the way seam Guildford to the race-course. However, with chu pru dent care of walking down the hills, ar, - the manner Wilmot handled the ribbons, we cot safely on the course long before the first race. Ttie company, although the first rank in the county, was not such as we had expected to find. That, show of beauty that in our mind's eye we had 'pictured was more select than nu merous, but there-was gems, rich and rare, beauteous faces surpassing fair diamonds of the first water in quality, not in quantity, that was filled by the opposite and ae.miring sex. We never saw a greater assemblage of the first-rate sporting characters together ; to give a ,tithe of the names would require another sheet, of those whom we have the honour of being personally known to, and forming the elite of sporting society. The noble Earl of Chesterfield, Lord M'Donald, Marquis of Waterford, Lord Westminster, Earl of Uxbridge, Lord G. Bentinck, Honourables Horace Seymour, Brand, Radcliff, De Burgh, Mildmay, and the host of betting men, assembled on the lawn in front of the grand stand, afforded much amusement to our foreign compagntons de voiture, who could not understand how it was possible to effects bets so easily, while a hundred tongues at once were offering and taking bets (some from the midst of the grouped beauties on the balcony of the Grand Stand) indiscriminately, apparently from the motley mob below where peers and paupers book their bets, and legs and landholders do the same ; but this is the grand feature of an English race course. Here it is seen to greater advantage than most other meets—here is con centrated, inside and out, all the rank and respectability that visit Goodwood. Beyond the stand no elegant equi pages line the course ; it is a mere assemblage of such a kind as you meet at at a country fair or minor race course. The Grand Stand is a beautiful building, but no accommodation, such as English ladies and gentlmen are accustomed to, is to be had. No retiring room could we find, so much required after so long and dusty a ride. They should not merely provide for eating and drink ing, which was done most liberally, but first equally adding to other wants. We think that it was the late Sir Walter Scott that said, the man who invents fresh means of employment for his fellow-men, is a public benefactor (then he was assuredly one, as he found not only beneficial employment, but beneficial amount for mankind), in a minor degree. Keeping this in view, we would suggest to tonsors of the fete, that they might find profitable employment attending races, and placing the heads of the lieges in a proper form to appear before the ladies—not such mops as we saw under the tiles of the otherwise well-dressed gentlemen, giving them more the appearance of having passed the night in the watch-house than their morning at the wash-hand stand. " Nov clear the course, the bugle sounds, Instead of the race, we are thinking of hounds." FIRST RACE. Lord Albemarle's Taurus beating Lord G. Bentinck's Mustapha, the favourite, by a neck. An excellent race, but disappointing the certainty men. These certainties are not safe always, says one of 'the spicy betters in a starch white necktye. THE CUP. The preceding races, although of the first order, were to us lost in the interest attached to the cup. The bet ting had so fluctuated, that it was dangerous to act upon the office. At length, it settled decided in favour of Charles the Twelfth. On seeing him parade the course, we regretted our choice ,of Hyllus, although the running showed how close it was. The starting was most excellently managed by Lord George B en ti nc k - , who paraded with a flag beside the horses, giving each rider a fair view of the office to go, no excuse to hang fire after the horses were brought altogether, Malgre une Mechant Animale, who wanted to spoil sport, down went the red flag, a beautiful start for place, and a most beautiful race en sued ; and when they passed the Grand Stand, on return ing, it was interesting in the extreme, Charles and Hyllus neck and neck, difficult to say which was first. We have seen such things called dead heats. This most excellent day's sport finished with a race by Gentlemen Jocks, and won by good riding by that fine old English foxhunter, Osbaldiston, on Currier, beating Dismal Jemmy easily, a change of when they run again will tell a different tale. A change for the better, in our carriage, brought us safely back to Woking Common Station, where we had been promised a quick train to start at twelve o'clock ; but, after waiting an hour at one of the most uncomfort able stations we ever saw, up came the slow baggage and bullock waggon trains, in which, with the other animals, after two hours snail-pace, we arrived at Vauxhall, the clock striking three, which, if those employed had kept faith, we should have arrived at one, thereby nearly keep ing the promise to have a ride to Goodwood and back the same day.

T . -eek T . h extensiveeT in Paisley, and the reported danger of similar occur rences in Glasgow, have acted prejudicially upon that portion of business transacted with Scotch connexions. The deranged state of monetary affairs on the Continent has caused the twist buyers to be very careful in their operations, and to'confine their purchases to their most urgent wants, or to those offers of yarns which might be caused by immediate want of money on the part of the spinner, which, in consequence, might be sold at a sacrificing price. Most of the mills which went on to full time a few weeks ago, have it in contemplation to resort again to short time. The stock of goods and yarns is large, but not so extensive as might be imagined from the lowness of price. The majority of the spinners and manufacturers, from the long period during which they have worked to a loss, and the diminishing.accom modation of the banks, cannot hold. The result is, that goods are sold as they come round, in many cases at any price. We understand that some of the larger houses show a disposition to stock themselves, provided goods can be obtai ne d at extremely low rates, in anticipation of a slight stir in the market, by which prices will be raised. In fact, both goods and yarns, in needy quarters espe cially, are so remarkably low, as to afford a fair guaran tee of profit to the speculator by holding a few weeks or mon th s. —Ma ndester Tittles.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—In the present position of parties, we are not surprised that the Tory organs indulge in copious abuse of the Liberal Ministry, the succession to whose office they are anxiously expecting. Such conduct, though far from generous, is consonant enough with the ordinary tactics of party in the exultation of victory. In this general assault the foreign policy of the Cabinet (which, from the complexity of external relations, pre sents a wider front to the attacks of opponents than any other branch of administration) bears in a considerable degree the brunt of the fray. Nothing is more easy than to find insta n ces of affairs abroad going counter to the views of politicians at home, and to supply the con. : necting link of British influence, flattering as lie sup position even of its misdirection is to national vanity, to make out the connection of cause and effect.. In these tirades of the Tory press, we find the same writers who allege one day that the councils of the Liberal go vernment have brought the country to the verge of ruin, are ready to arrogate for England, on the next, the most absurdly extended influence in the affairs of fir-distant nations. The Times and Herald haves ve last week, been sign a li s i ng tl• during the ~.emsels in this warfare ; the former confiL es - the relations between itself chiefly to x'rance and this country, and the affairs of„. Morn Turkey arising out of the interminable E _:.'sern question, which some of our writers, in spi n'. l -the French, have decided shall not be extinct, of the declaration of the Five Powers in the r'..xent Convention ; the latter excurses into Central Asia, and gives us a list of the misdoings of our Minis ter for Foreign Affairs, in Persia, Affghanistan, and the *lndian Archipelago. n the ardour of controversy, the Times turns round in no small degree on its articles of last year, laudatory of Lord Palmerston's firm attitude in his resistance to French encroachment relative to the Eastern Question. It now selects the policy of England, and its results for especial animadversion. STANDARD.—We are told that the condemned budget is to be once more presented ; and this is the apology fur the Ministers, convicted of a violation of the spirit of the Constitution, and duly sentenced to dis missal, presuming to meet the new Parliament. It _ is unnecessary to repeat what we have more than once before said of the total insufficiency of such an excuse ; it is as if a culprit, after a verdict of guilty had passed against him, and the judg ment had been formally recorded, should insist upon an opportunity of repeating his offence in order to have occasion of arguing anew the legality of his previous conviction. The advancement of . such a demand is an insult and a crime—not to be reasoned with, but to be resented and punished. However, we are gravely assured that the demand will be advanced, and that, by a rather violent strain of the prerogative, the opportunity for advancing it is to be secured. How Parliament will deal with such an insult and such a crime must depend upon the greater or less amount of courage and patriotism possessed by the majority. As we have already said, it is a case for impeachment, but we fear that the day for impeachments and for the punishment of the greatest criminals has gone by. Justice now reserves all her ter rors fer poor petty larceny knaves, or at the highest for weak-minded Chartists. O'Connell is unhanged but O'Connor occupies a felon's cell. The condemned budget will then be reproduced by its convicted authors, probably without incurring any more serious punishment for the of fenders than a second failure—a punishment, if it is to be called one, amply salved beforehand by three months of sa lary and patronage fraudulently obtained. As we are to have this budget again, it may be well for the people to inform themselves of its grounds and merits ; with this view we recommend to particular attentive—what ? a Conservative pamphlet or a Conservative essay ? Nothing of the kind—we recommend to all who would appreciate the total futility of the reasons offered for the notable scheme, and the transparent falsehood of Lord John Russell's pretence that it was advisedly brought forward by the " deficits"—to all such we recommend the apology for the budget in the last number of the Edinburgh Review. The name of the review gives war rant that a curious defence is intended ; gives warrant, too, that the case of the Ministers does not suffer by de fect of zeal or talent in its advocates. Still, we say, if any one wants to be thoroughly impressed with the atro cious injustice of the Ministerial propositions, and with the profligate contempt of truth manifested by Ministers in pretending that the propositions were not the last re source of despair, let him read the sixty pages of apology in the review. MONEY MARKBT and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. CHRONICLE.—'The financial and commercial re forms enunciated in the Whig budget of 1841, and in especial the proffered boon of the repeal of the bread tax, are prizes worth fighting for, and render the return of the Whig party to power at an early period necessary as the, means of securing them to the nation, unless the Peel Cabinet should bring forward similar measures, and proceed with the revision of the tariff on imports, so soon as the new Government is definitely constituted, and the preliminary steps are gone through in the Parlie; mont about to assemble. We shall not stop to consider the point of political consistency connected with the propound ing of such measures by those who were chosen for the special purpose of preventing their success. That is a point beyond the sphere of our department, and which the majority of the new Parliament must settle amongst themselves. We are contented to state the fact, and to leave Conservative statesmen to arrange the con sequences to their party. It is plain, however, that the doom of monopoly is sea l e d , and that no section of po litical men can conduct the Government of this country subi with m s t uc t c o es t s a , x u a n t l in, e o ss they ad o pt a lib era l s yst em o f com mercial policy. Th e peopl e are t oo en li g h tene d to in order to supply the deficiency in the public exchequer, after a practicable scheme has been brought forward by the responsible advisers of the Crow n to increase the revenue to the amount of 6,000,000/. sterling per annum, by reducing the taxes en the chief necessaries of life, and approxi mating to the principles of free trade by a judicious relaxation of the duties, charged upon articles imported for home use and consumption. Various schemes, no doubt, have been hinted at as likely to be adduced in stead by Sir Robert Peel to equalise the public revenue and expenditure, but all of them founded on the assump tion that he will either propose new taxes or have re course to a funding of Exchequer Bills, or a loan, as an expedient to give him time to take that calm, " compre hensive view of the financial position of the country" which he intimated to his followers in the defunct Par liament would be his special business, should the past elections (as they have unequivocally done) return a majority of his supporters. It is certainly quite in the power of the embryo Mi nister of Finance to fund Exchequer Bills preparatory to the issue of a fresh batch of them, but by so doing he will accept the rejected offal which his predecessor spurned, and add several millions more to the public debt, for which taxation must still be the final provision. It would be a far more business-like thing for him to come forward at once as a borrower in the Money Market, which he might do to the extent of 10,000,000/. at the present rate of Consols, without doing much to pro duce a depression in price, for the London capitalists would readily supply him to th at extent, an d t h e additional business it would give the jobbers would render the proposal popular on the Stock Exchange. But whether Sir Robert Peel should give notice of a funding of Exchequer Bills or issue notices for re ceiving tenders for a new loan, the one or the other, or both, arc neither more nor less than pitiful make-shifts ; temporary expedients to afford breathing-time ; a mere putting off of the evil clay ; and let him take one or the other, or both, they will make an increase to the public debt of from p,000,0001. to 10,000,0001., to provide for which new taxes must ultimately be imposed. To that complexion must he come at last, while by the adoption of such a miserable hand-to-mouth system of financial patch-work, the root of the evil remains untouched, for neither by a funding or a direct loan, to plug the hole in the Exchequer, would any fillip be given to trade. The mill-owners would not be enabled to turn their short hours into full working time, nor would a single mouth ful more bread be distributed amongst the thousands of destitute, starving families, that crowd the streets of our manufacturing towns. TIMES.—The letter:, froM Manchester allude in de sponding terms to the depression of business, which had within the last week been increased by the numerous Scottish failures. The joint-stock banks of Manchester arc accused, in the first instance, of having produced these deplorable results by their imprudent advances to parties whose great aim was to turn a large amount of business without considering the unsoundness of the basis upon which it was conducted ; and it is mentioned that one suspended firm had ttoknowledged having turned with the assistance of these institutions, .130,0001., upon a 6,000/. capital. Such was the distressed condition of the operatives in consequence of the stagnation of business, that we are told about 800 hand-loom weavers were out of employment, and exposed to the horrors of starvation. An appeal on their be half has been got up, addressed to the " merchants, manufacturers, and gentry," particularly of Manchester and its vicinity. • It is stated that many of these poor fellows have not the means of providing food either for their families or themselves for a single day. The meeting of creditors for the choice of assignees in the bankruptcy of Daintry, Ryle, and Co., was to take plane on the 3d proximo. The yearly meeting of the Stalybridge, Hyde, and Glossop Bank, was held on the 30th, and the report stated that no losses had been incurred during the year, but that 71 per cent. pro fit had been made upon the paid up capital, upon which 5 per cent. was divided, and the remainder ordered to be carried to the "reserved fund," to meet any future contingencies. The — following letter was written by the Spanish Mi nister of Finance to a gentleman in the city, who had re quested to know whether it was the iatention of the Government to capitaliFe the overdue interest into a three per cent. stock :-- " Madrid, July 21, 1841. " Sir,—ln reply to your obliging letter of the 7th instunt, I beg to say the Spanish Government has always entertained the most favourable opinion of the loyalty of the foreign bondholders. and is convinced they will take into considera tion the evils aad disasters which have been caused in this unhappy country by a most cruel civil war of seven years' duration. in consequence I have thought it my duty to ca pitalise the overdue coupons, and exchange the..i for a three per cent. stock, as it was announced and promised in the de cree of the 21st of January last. Orders have therefore been given to expedite the new bonds necessary for the conversion ; and the Government, you may be assured, will not neglect any measures leading to the fulfilment of the promises that have been made to foreign creditMs, being anxious to attend to all their claims.

A correct copy of this claim should be kept, and the party who serves the claim should immediately write on the copy to whom the claim was delivered, and the day of the month and year. He should then copy from the Overseer's list the names of any political opponent that he believes not be be entitled to a vote ; and, should he be disinclined to take the trouble consequent upon objecting himself, lie should forward his intbrmation to a Reform or Regis tration Society, if there be one in that borough or city, or to some active Reformer residing therein,—as it is necessary that the objector, or some one on his behalf, should appear in the Revising Barrister's Court to sup port the objection, though the proof of qualification will fall on the person objected to.

RINGWOOD.—An inquest was held on Wed ' nesdayltst by Charles Castleman, Esq., at Bistern, on view of the body of Mary Johnson, a young married female, residing in this town, the circumstances at tending whose death have created a considerable sen sation here : the investigation before an intelligent and respectable jury occupied nine hours. From the evi dence adduced, it appears that the deceased, aecompa , nied by her brother, a little boy ten years of age, and a young woman named Tilley, were returning from Avon to Ringwood, on Monday afternoon, when two waggons or trucks loaded with stone passed them ; one of the carters asked them to ride, which they at first refused, but afterwards got up on the hinder waggon, when the man who was driving called out to his companion driving the foremost team to come back, telling him that he had got a young woman for him. This man accordingly left his team, came back, and seated him self on the shafts of the ,waggon on which the females were riding ; he then began taking improper liberties with the deceased, who remonstrated with him and told him she was a married woman ; notwithstanding which, he continued his disgusting behaviour, and she requested them to stop the - horses, as she wished to get down, but this they refused to do. She again en treated them, but they persisted in driving on, when she declared she would jump off. The man then got off the shafts, and the deceased (in order it is sup posed to avoid a repetition of insult) immediately sprang from the waggon and fell underneath the wheels. which, with their ponderous weight of four tons, passed over her body, crushing and lacerating it in a most horrible manner. A labouring man in an adjoining field, who witnessed the catastrophe, lifted her from the ground ; and the only words she uttered were, "Oh dear, I am crushed to pieces." She died in about two hours afterwards. The Jury, after some deliberation, returned a verdict of " Manslaughter" against James Ingram and Charles Crauter, the two waggoners. It will scarcely be credited that such was the brutal indifference of these men, that instead of stopping their horses when the accident occurred, and rendering assistance to the unfortunate deceased, they proceeded on their journey ; and the companions of th - e deceased were obliged to jump off the waggon as it was going along. —Hampshire Independent. FATAL ACCIDENT:—A melancholy accident happened at the West Half-way House on the Dundee Road last Thursday. A man, named James Scrinigeour, lately residing at the Horse Cross here, and who entered into possession of the above-mentioned premises at last Whitsunday, got upon the top of a laden cart at his own door for the purpose of tightening a rope. While mak ing a strong pull the rope broke, and he was precipitated backwards on the hard road. He fell on his head, and in consequence of the injury, expired in about five hours after the accident. He has left a wife and a young family. —Perth Advertiser.

DESPERATE ASSAULT.—On Saturday last as Major Smith, who commands a detachment of the 15th Regiment of Foot, at present in Deptford Dock-yard, was passing down the Lower-road, Deptford, he met a private named Duckwood, who was in a state of 'intoxi cation. Major Smith desired him to go to barracks. The man walked for a few moments, when he suddenly turned round and struck Major Smith a violent blow, at the same time exclaiming "You once caused me to be flogged, you b—, and now you may shoot me." Major Smith instantly called for the assistance of some persons to secure the soldier, when two privates, who werein a public-house close to the spot, ran out for the purpose of doing so, when Duckwood kicked 'Dula a dangerous part of the body. and he' fell to the ground. Some persons, seeing the violent and determined conduct of Duckwood, ran to the Docks and procured a guard, and he was, after con siderable resistance, handcuffed.and taken to the barracks by upwards of twenty soldiers. On the following morn ing he was brought in custody before Major Smith, when he appeared fully sensible of the awful situation in which his conduct had placed him, the offence of which he had been guilty rendering him liable, according to the articles of Ivar, to be shot. He expressed the greatest sorrow and contrition for his conduct; and Major Smith after properly admonishing him, ordered him to be con fined to barracks fur two months. Such a lenient sell , tence for so unProvoked an assault is much talked of by the soldiers in the Dockyard. On the 24th of this taontli the gamekeeper of Mr. W. Nelson Clarke, at Aberuchill Castle, in Strath earn, flushed in an oak coppice wood a brood of woodcocks, consisting of two old birds and three_ young ones. Of the latter he nearly caught one, as it rose with difficulty. A few days after Mr. Clarke himself flushed two old and two young birds of the same kind in another wood, besides a single' old bird in a different part of the cover. Not long since another gentleman in the neighbourhood flushed a brood in the park at Drummond castle. It is probable that more birds of this species breed in Seotland than is generally supposed, for in the vast extent of natural wood which exists in the Highlands, there is su little disturbance during the summer Months, that Many - birds may remain. without exciting observation. The wood in which the above were seen is quite open and bellow untlerneatlik LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Aug. 2. ROWLEY I' ADANS.-JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave judgment in this ease, which was argued before the Court sometime since: The case came before the Court upon appeal from the deci sion of. his Honour the Vice-Chancellor, and the appeal sought to introduce into the decree pronounced in the cause in 1836 a direction to the Master to take the ac counts of the partnership subsisting between two gentle men of the name of Wyatt. His Lordship was clearly of opinion with the Court below, that no case had been made by the appellant for what he asked, and or• dered the appeal to be dismissed with costs. MARTIN V. WICHELLO. His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case, which came before the Court upon a creditor's suit, claiming to have the benefit of an execution that had been obtained. The Court ordered the bill to be dismissed with costs. TULLOCK V. lIA.RTLEY The further arguments in this part-heard case were resumed, and occupied the whole day. ROLLS' COURT, Aug. 2. The whole morning was again occupied with the case and cross case of Sheppard v. Morris, and Morris v. Sheppard. It is a mere question of account, and of no importance to any but the parties concerned, COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 2. IN THE MATTER OF MR. %Y. VARDY. The bankrupt in this case carried on business as a printer and bookseller in Newbury, Berkshire, and ap peared in Court, by adjournment, to have his final exa mination, his accounts notbeing ready at the previous in vestigation. The assignees having assented to his passing, Sir F. WILLIAMS, in allusion to an apparent discrepancy in the bankrupt's books,said that he was afraid that in the many other occupations attending the bankrupt's busi ness, he had neglected to attend to his accounts. He (Sir F. Williams) thought if there were one thing more to be observed by the fair trader, and more to be re spected than common honesty, that thing was to keep his books clear. It was satisfactory to the cre ditors, and what they had a right to expect. In many cases bankruptcies would be prevented if those in trade attended more to the state of their boOks, and observed from them the declension of their prosperity.. He should most emphatically protest against the system sometimes adopted by persons when they first found themselves involved in difficulties of neglecting to attend to their profit and loss accounts. In his opinion that was the time when the strictest and most scruti nising attention was required from the tradesman both on his own account and as a matter of honourable feel ing towards his creditors. IN TIIE MATTER OF JOHN STUNMORE. In this case the bankrupt had carried on the business of a brush dealer in Charles -street, Grosvenor-square. lie had borrowed at various times different sums of money of his sis ter, Charlotte Stunmore, and in January, 1832, he had given her a memorandum stating that he was indebted to her in the sum of 3871., and he had subsequently deposited with her a lease of a furnished house as a security for the debt. In the course of the present summer she had got a judgment against her for the debt of the house, and the furniture was taken possession of by the Sheriff. She had, however, given up the house and furniture, worth 6001. to the general body of the creditors, and now sought to prove under the fiat for the debt and interest, amounting to 4871. She underwent a most rigid examination, and was highly com plimented by the Learned Commissioner on the manner in which she had given her evidence, and the proof was admitted. Various other proofs were admitted, and the assignees having been chosen, the meeting was adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A young man named Archer, who had been previously examined on the charge of dangerously injuring Richard Sutherland in a boxing match, was again placed at the bar for further examination. Mr. Humphries appeared for the prisoner and applied to the Bench that he might be bailed. A certificate from the attending surgeon of Bartholo. mews' Hospital having been put in stating that Suther• land was still in a dangerous state, the prisoner was re• minded to Thursday. BOW-STREET. . James Vincent was placed'before Mr. Hall, charged with having stolen eight cigars, the property of Mr. Simpson, of the Albion Hotel, Great Russell-street. Wm. Daly, head-waiter at the Albion, stated that on Saturday evening last he saw the prisoner go up to a stand and take three cigars, and witness called in a po liceman, who searched the prisoner, and five other cigars were found upon him. The witness stated that he had reason to suspect the prisoner for some time past, and that this practice had been carried on to a much greater extent. Mr. HALL said, in answer to the request of the pro secutor, that he could not feel justified in passing over this offence summarily, as the practice was gaining ground, and it was necessary, by example, to check it, he should, therefore, commit the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal Court. QUEEN-SQUARE. Mustapha Ali, a Greek, about 30 years of age, who speaks English fluently, was placed in the dock before Mr. Burrel, charged with the following fraud : Mr. BURRELL, upon seeing the prisoner, said—Why I have seen you repeatedly here. Prisoner—Oh, yes, Sir I I have come nearly every day to hear the cases of felony,—(Loud laughter.) Blr. Wood, a bobt and shoemaker, living at 34, Tot hill-street, Westminster, said, that on Friday, the 16th ult., the prisoner came to his shop and bought a pair of shoes which came to 3s. 6d. ; he did not pay for them, and prosecutor did not press for the payment as he knew the prisoner lived in the neighbourhood, and he was in the habit of seeing him almost daily. He came again a few days afterwards, and bargained for a pair of bluchers, and agreed to give 4s. 6d. for them ' which made the whole debt Bs. The prisoner called for pen, ink, and paper, and wrote a draft upon Cox and Green wood, bankers, of Parliament-street, for IL, to be placed to the account of Colonel Leicester Stanhope; the prosecutor, said he had not the difference with him, and the prisoner said, " Never mind, I'll call again for it." He went that day to Cox and Green wood's, and the cashier said they had received no order from Colonel Stanhope to pay such an amount. He called the next day, and still no order had come, and the cashier advised him to wait upon Colonel Stanhope. He did so, and the Colonel told him that he had never au thorised the defendant to draw any draft or check in his name, or by his order, and that he was an irreclaimable vagaband. On Saturday last the prisoner came to price a pair of boots, and with the greatest assurance asked if the draft had been honoured. Prosecutor told him he would honour him with an abode in the interior of a gaol. Prisoner ran off, prosecutor followed and caught him, and gave him over to the police. The prisoner admitted having given the draft in pay ment of the boots, and when he heard next day that it had not been honoured, he went to Colonel Stanhope, and told him what he had done, and the Colonel replied that he knew well he had no right to use his name, and was very angry with him. Mr. BURRELL—And, indeed, he had cause to be angry, I think, with a person who first drew drafts upon him, and then came and asked him to honour them. Pray, in what relation do you stand to Col. Stanhope ? Prisoner—l was adopted by Lord Byron, and at his death Colonel Stanhope brought me over from Greece and took care of me. (This individual was found, when a mere babe in the oven of a house in some town in Greece, the inhabitants of which house had been massacred by the Turks, who overlooked the babe, hid away by his unhappy mother. Lord Byron brought him up, had him taught him the English tongue, and at his death Colonel Stanhope brought him over to England. He was in the Colonel's service some years, when the latter got him a situation in the Post-office ; but this he lost through his misconduct, as also one in a banking-house. Since then Colonel Stanhope had dis carded him,) Mr. BURRELL--I shall remand this case till Thursday next, when I hope Colonel Stanhope will attend. DUNFERMLINE.—There was no fast-day here. The ecclesiastical authorities set themselves in rebellion against the Assem'Ay's appointment ; and had only ser vice twice a-day in St. Andrew's Church, and in the evening a meeting in the Abbey Church, in which the remaining three ministers took part. The people being taught by this arrangement that obedience was not ex pected of them, acted accordingly. There might be about 400 people attending the services of the day. ' The banks were shut ; but scarcely a single shop or counting room was closed. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night a man who was proceeding over Black friars• bridge was observed by police constable Roe, 356, suddenly to stagger and fall. Roe immediately ran to his assistance, when he discovered that the poor man was in a state of insensibility, and with the assistance of Sergeant Taplin he conveyed him upon a stretcher to the station-house, where he was promptly attended by the surgeon, who opened a vein in the arm, but no blood would flow. The body was afterwards conveyed to the BrideweW bone house for identification, and to await a Coroner's inquest. It is dressed in a dark coat and trousers and plaid waist coat, and has the appearance of being that of a working mechanic.

T am, Sir, your obedient ser. vant, Henry Cowper."—Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, A lbemarle.strect, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William.street, City, state that their newly. invented Invisible Voice Conductor Sound Magnifiers enables per. sons at an advanced age, and of forty and fifty years' standing of extreme deafness, to join in general conversation, and to catch the sound of a distant low speaker at a public assembly. They are the size of a very small gold seven.shilling piece, and when in the cavity of the ears, they are not the least perceptible nor more un. comfortable than having a small piece of fine wool in its place. Messrs. Solomons' newly.invented Spectacles, immediately they are I laced before imperfect vision, that mist and dullness whicli appears before the eyes is at once removed, every object becoming clear and distinct, so that the most aged defective eye.sight become s bright and brilliant, 110 is brought to its youthful, natural s ,anti Ori &ITO statc, MORNINS SUN.
