Thes I desired consider to One of these has recen tl y appeared, which bids fair are— to be the text-book of the champions of sanitary re form within the limits of the City jurisdiction. Mr. John Simon, the medical officer of health under the City Commissioners of Sewers, has within the last few days given the results of his year's experience to his employers in an admirably digested report, which we printed on Wednesday of last sveek for the instruction and information of our readers. Never was a more convincing or solemn appeal made to a public body. Mr. Simon has care fully classified and explored each source of the misery of the poorer inhabitants of this metropolis. He has not only explained the nature of the existing evil, but he has suggested the practical remedy which should be applied. He refers to six main heads the causes of all the present mischief :—I. Defective house drainage. 11. Incomplete and insufficient water supply. 111. Offensive or injurious trades and occupations. IV. Intramural burials. V. Houses insusceptible of ventilation, and absolutely unfit for habitation. VI. The personal habits of the lowest classes, and the influence of destitu tion in increasing their mortality. Each of these heads would prove an apposite text for longer com ment than our space admits of to-day; but in antici pation of future opportunity we will let Mr. Simon recapitulate for himself the remedial measures he has suggested to his employers for the abatement of evils so intolerable as those he has described : " To provide an inoffensive outfall fur the sewerage of our vast population; to render the river a sourco of unqualified advantage; to give an indefinite extension and a sounder principle to the system of water supply; to suppress all trades and occupations which taint the atmosphere with materials of organic decom position; to ebito the nuisance of smoke ; to pro• vide the facilities for extramural interment, and to procure the prohibition of all further burial amidst our living; to improve the domestic arrange. ments of the poor, and to insure for them an adequate supervision ; to hinder the o ccu p a ti on o f h ouses wh i c h breed pestience; to destroy such as are irremediably hostile to health, and to thin the stiffied population of courts and alleys; to establish public baths and laun dries which may offer to the poor the utmost facili ties 'and inducement for the maintenance of personal cleanliness; in the stead of .su2b courts as wo may hope to depopulate and destroy, but in op.n streets and with perfect ventilation, to erect and to place at the disposal of the labouring classes houses and lodgings which not only may offer to their inhabitants every convenience es sential to health, and decency and co m f or t, b ut may like wise serve as a:el. is of household economy for the whole district in which they stand ;—these, gentlemen, are the heads, briefly recapitulated, under which I have Ix en obliged, as it were casually in my report, to touch on many subjects perhaps foreign to your jurisdiction, but lying at least on the confines of your province, aid which it now remains with you either to retain or to transfer." Now, the excellence of Mr. Simon's report con sists in this—that not only has he probed these social sores to their depth, and mapped out all their con sequences in the shortened lives and wide-spread demoralization of the poorer classes, but he has pointed out practical remedies—remedies which, if not the best the wit of man might devise, will cer tainly answer the purpose in the absence of still more valuable suggestions. The day has surely gone by when the old exploded absurdities can be gravely propounded in an assembly of men of average intellect and honesty. Surely after our recent experience of the spots where the cholera came soonest, stayed longest, and raged most violently, it will not be maintained that the reeking sewer and the bubbling cesspool are balmy infl uences f avoura bl e to h ea lth. A whiff from a London churchyard, where the corpses of former parishioners are rotting within a few inches of the surface, is not acceptable even to a churchwarden. It is not a wise nor a salutary course for a citizen, Sunday after Sunday, to take his wife and his young children, and to sit down with them fur two hours at a stretch in a close build ing,. the atmosphere of which is iiafected with the gaseous influences of corpses undergoing decompo sition in the vaults beneath. It is nut a prudent step, even in the interest of Belgrave-square or of Hyde-park-gardens, to keep up extensive nurseries of typhus, dotted in various advantageous si tuations throughout the town. It is not worthy o f a civilized community to endure that mad dened cattle should be driven through their most crowded thoroughfares twice in every week; nor that the most filthy and noxious trades should he carried on precisely in the spat where the pulse of life throbs the deepest and the quickest. It is not politic to deaden every human eeling in the humbler classes; to leave them in squalid dens where parents and their adult children are huddled together on one filthy bed, beneath one filthy coverlet. Yet all these things, and many more such, are ofdaily and hourly oc currence in every quarter of the metropolis of the Er t;sh empire. What can the poor people do unless the ini tiative be taken by the more opulent and powerful "1. Strength combined with lightness. "2. Great capacity of stowing. " 3. Safety. "4. Speed. " 5. Durability. " 6. Economy in repairs. "7. Cost. " 8. Draught of water." And Mr. Grantham " proves that iron vessels possess advantages under all those heads in so emi nent a degree as to render them superior to wooden vessels." In considering the benefit obtained by using iron in preference to wood, we must not forget that the leaking of an iron vessel is scarcely appreciable, and if leaks occur they are commonly very easily dis covered and stopped, so that there is no bilge water, a consideration of great importance in carrying corn and other food. It is true that there may exist strong prejudices to be overcome. So there were against steam-vessels, as fraught with danger of many kinds ; so there were also against the introduction of iron beams instead of ) wood for steam-engines; there are engineers now living who remember this change, and the preju dices. low difficult it would be to avoid the snap ping of a beam, if the engine struck on the spring -beams ! How frightful would be the calamity of the cast-iron beam of a pumping engine fall ing into the engine-house, or of the other tumbling down the shaft of the mine ? Many such prognostications were made, and some realised ; but does any engineer, or sound mechanic, contem plate the idea of reverting to the wooden beam with its cast-iron caps and wrought-iron straps? An ex cellent engine beam of eno►mous strength might be made of wrought.iron plates ; but the a'tempt would be almost vain to form a framework of wood, however elaborate or well designed, that should be equal to the strength of the cast-iron beams now used for the engines in Cornwall. If iron were not applicable for engine -beams, the engines of Cornwall must of neces sity be much smaller in their dimensions and power; the deep mines could not be drained nor their wealth developed; and so it may be said of iron for the use of vessels; without it we shall remain stationary or retrograde amongst nations in the march of com merce; hut if we avail ourselves of the vast advantages placed within our reach, we may remain proverbial for intelligence and prosperity. B , ATIIS AND WASIMOUSES.—The Court of As sist-ants of the Grocers' Company have contributed an additional sum of 1001., making 2001., in aid of the funds of the committee for promoting the establishment of baths and w ashbouscs for the labouring classes towards the completion of the model establishment, Gonlston square' Whitechapel. We lear n , w i t h muc h sat i s f act i on, that the first and second-class baths, in number 94, have been got to work again, but trifling damage having been done to this part of the establishment curing the recent fire. The repairs tendered necessary to the washing depar'meat will be proceeded with as rapidly as posbiblo, in order that this important branch of the establishment may be re-opened early in the ensuing year for the ac• commodation of the numerous poor wh.) reside in the locality of Spitulfields and Whitechapel, and by whom the partial closing of the establishment is greatly de pl( red. It is the desire of the committee to complete the whole of the southern ranges of the wasbhouse with the drying, mangling, and iroairg compartment at the same time the repairs are proceeding, and as soon as the funds to be collected for this purp 6 se will warrant the committee incurring the liability. THE TEA PLANT.—The cultivation of the tea ulant which was undertaken by Mr. James Smith, neat Gr eu field, S. Carolina, 1848, has so far prove a highly success ful. In the fall of 1848, about 500 plants were received from China, via L- radon, and in December they were planted in his garden. A considerable quantity of tea seed was planted at the same time. Notwithstandit g the severe winter ar.d spring, the plants which were lett to take care of themselves were unharmed, and are now in a nourishing condition. Several specimens of the green and black plant are in bud. The tea plant buds one year, but does not fruit till the next. Next year 11 , 1 r. Smith expects to pick tea, although his great object for some time to come will be to increase the quantity of his plants. The tea seed was planted at a wrong season, sad did not amount to an d thug. Mr. SmiLli estimated the annual consumption of tea in the Unit:d State; to be 11 millions of pounds ; in Europe 50 ; total 61 millionF. China proLluces over 900 millions of pound s , o f w hi ch t h e Chinese export. only about 70 millions. An acre of land will produce 517 lb.; consequently the cultivation of 20,109 acres ut laud in the 14 tea growing states, will supply the pr, 5,d it consumption of the United States. To supply Eli: ope would require 91,411 acres of land. He supposes that there are 14 of our states that would grow tea, and that 111520 acres of land, cultivated as tea plantations, , iveraging 7,965 fur each of thell4 states, will supply the consumption of the article both for Europe and the United States. The experiment Mr. Smith is engaged in is a highly interesting one, and will be attended with vast benefits to the country if CODb• pletely successful. sown' WALES RAILWAY. No. 2.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Tuesday was solem • nised at All Souls' Church, in Langham-place, by the Rev. Count J. Dela Field, Canon of Middleham, the mar riage of Paulet Henry St. John Mildmay, of Hayle grove, in the county of Somefset, Eiq., grandson of the late Sir Henry St. John Mildmay, of Dogmersfield-park, Bart., and Caroline Adele Catherine Valentine, daughter of the late Orlando and Lady Lucy Standish, of Brecon hill Tower and Scaleby Castle, iu the county of Cum berland, and Farley-hill, in the county of Berks, and granddaughter to the late Earl of Limerick. The core • mony was attended by a very numerous assemblage of the nobility and gentry, relations of the bride and bride groom, who subsequently adjourned to the residence of the Countess (Dowager) of Limerick, in Mansfield street, where a superb dejeuner was served. The happy e aiple left ton at three o'clock in an elegant equipage and-four for Farley-hill, in Berks, the seat of Pery Standish, Esq , the brother of the bride. Mr. Harding, of Cliffszd-street, had the honour of furnishing some very beautiful bridal bouquets for the occasion. CREDITON.—MORE GRATEFUL STILL THAN GOOD VIANDS.—At the recent court of J. H. Hippisley, Esq., he Id at the Ship Inn, Croditon, his tenants were regaled with all the gird things for which mine host is so eel° brated, and in addition their landlord sent them a large supply of game and grapes. the latter being of most un usual siz. , and exquisite flavour. The numerous com pany, however, w e r e a th ousan d t i mes more d e li ghted on an announcement being made that there was an abate ment of ten per cent. on the rental. Colonel Sir 11. F. Davie, Bart , and J. W. Buller. Esq., have also made a like abatement. As these three gentlemen, immediate neighbours, own a large tract of land, and may indeed be termed practical agriculturists, if not " farmers' friends," we hope their example will be generally fol lowed; for it must be confessed that the agriculturists of Devonshire and Cornwall suffered even more than those of other counties during the last unpropitious year. DARING GANG OF BURGLARS.—On Tuesday night lest the hems.? of Mr. Hooper, of Dey.vland Barton, which i 3 almost contiguous to the village and church, was for cibly entered, and his writing-desk, containing all the cash which he kept in the house, together with his plate and a quantity of spirits, were carried off. The bur , glans were heard by Mr. Hooper, who, however, was per suaded by Mrs. Hooper to be still, she imagining the noise which they made to proceed from the servants having risen early for the purpose of brewing. Mr. Hooper, however, at least hearing the dogs bark very loudly, went down stairs, when he found the house in the greatest confusion. The robbers, however, bad de camped, but repaired to a neighbouring wood, where they had slaughtered a sheep, and dressed a part of it by a large fire which they kindled, the smoke of which was observed by some labourers as they were going to their work, but who imagined it was caused by gipsies, who often frequent the neighbourhood. The same gang, it is supposed, broke open the house of Mr. Leverton, of Wooley-Barton. in the parish of Seaford, and carried off a deal of plunder. A WARNING FOR RAILWAY COMPANIES.--..A com mercial gentleman gives us ( Glasgow Herald) the following statement:—Oa Tuesday morning last his business ur gently requiring his attendance in Edinburgh at one o'clock the same day, he left Aberdeen at two in the morning by the mail-coach, for Montrose. On his ar rival there he was booked from thence on to Edinburgh, per railway and steam-boat, but in the journey between Montrose and Perth a period of twenty minutes had been lost, and the consequence was, that the train for Burntisland (rhe ferry station) had departed pre vious to the arrival of the train from Montrose. In this dilemma, with no train to carry him forward, he requested an interview with the superintendent of the station, and politely told him that unless a special engine and carriage were furnished to carry him on, he would post the road by carriage, and pursue the company for damages. They had engaged to carry him into Edinburgh at a certain hour, and they were bound to fulfil their engagement. The superintendent, after a consultation, furnished the engine and carriage, and the result was, that not only our informant, but all the others who stood in the same position, were brought on by express. It was also telegraphed to Burntisland that a special train was corning forward, and desiring the ferry steam-boat to wait until its arrival, which was ac cordingly done, but still detaining the passengers by the ordinary train fully a quarter of an hour.
