THE - NEW DOCKS AT NEWPORT, MONMOUTHSHIRE. NEWPORT, TUESDAY MORNING.—The public cere mony of opening the new and splendid docks which have just been completed at this port took place yes terday. The day was observed as a holiday by all classes, and in all probability there never was a period at which the town of Newport presented so animated and gay an appearance. As might have been ex pected, the influx of strangers from the surrounding districts of Usk, Tredegar, Monmouth, Caerleon, Car diff, &c., as well as from Hereford; Bristol, Gloucester, and other more distant towns and cities, was unusually great. It is calculated that there were from 5,000 to 10,000 strangers in the town. The festivities of the day were commenced by a splendid champagne breakfast, given by the worship ful the Mayor, Lewis Edwards, Esq., at his house, to the members of the Corporation. After the repast had been disposed of, the civic procession, consisting of several barouches and four, accompanied by the police and other public officers, proceeded down Stow hill, and over the bridge to the Caerleon-road, where it had been arranged that the general cortege should be formed, preceded by bands of music. In the procession were the equipages of the princi pal noblemen and gentlemen of the neighbourhood; those of the Lord Lieutenant (whose attendants were dressed in their full court liveries of scarlet and gold), and of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., Gen. Sir Digbv Mackworth, Bart., and, Octavius Morgan, Esq., M.t t:or the county, attracted considerable notice. On arriving at the dock, where the ground was kept by the. 73d regiment, commanded by Col. Love, the cortege formed round the walls of the principal dock, the Freemasons' and Odd Fellows' lodges occu pying the front rank. A very large fleet of vessels, moored in the dock, were dressed out in their gayest. flags, with their yards manned, and kept firing salutes at intervals. The banks of the river, the surrounding house-tops, &c., were crowded with spectators, and there could not have been less than from 20,000 to: 30,000 persons present. The docks have been con structed at an expense of about 150,0001., and their most prominent feature is the entrance lock, which is the widest, and one of the longest in the known world, and is capable of admitting into the dock the largest ship in the British navy. The dimensions of the lock are 64 feet in width and upwards of 200 feet in length. The depth of water 35 feet 6 inches. The civil engineer by whom they were designed, and under whose superintendence they were constructed, is Mr. Green. The contractors are Messrs. Rennie and Co., who contracted largely on the Great Western Railway. The works were com menced in 1835, but owing to difficulties, pecuniary and otherwise, the progress was so retarded as to have carried on the period of their completion to the pre sent time. The inhabitants of Newport anticipate, as the result of their completion, a very great increase in the com merce of their port, as the large ships of different nations will now he enabled to lay their cargoes in the port instead of having, as now, to have it carried in small vessels to other ports and transshipped. A very considerable carrying trade is also expected to spring up, an expectation which would seem, to a great extent, to be justified, when it is considered that Newport is so closely connected with the following extensive coal, iron, and tin-works :—Risca, Black wood, Gellygroes, Rock, Tredegar, Vartey, Hengced, Bedwellty, Waterloo, Beaufort, Sirrhowy, Pennmaen, Mannowl, Victoria, Union, .Penyban, Ebbw Vale, Crwnlin, Pont-a-brig, Crwndruss, Abercarne, Blaine, Great Rymney, Nantyglo, Gellyare, Blaenabon, Pont : na-wynyd, Pont-y-moile, Stourbriclge Glynos. Clyde, Cwmbram, Hanson's new tin-works, Caerleon; Llanelly, &c. The opening of the lock commenced at twenty minutes past ten o'clock;and occupied twelve minutes. The Usk steamer then took the Henry in tow, both . vessels being covered with flags and streamers, and proceeded with her into the dock. The Hercules steamer followed, having in tow a ship called the Great Britain ; the Eirene, Channel mission-ship, having on board the Rev. Dr. Ashley, Channel chap lain, followed, and then came the Tiger steamer, tow ing in the Rothschild, of London. This noble vessel, whose burden is above a thousand tons belongs to the wealthy metropolitan firm of Rothschild Brothers. The opening dinner took place in the afternoon in the National School-room, erected a few years since by the venerable and universally beloved Sir Charles Morgan, of Tredegar. Covers were laid for upwards of three hundred, and the company included all the rank and fashion of the neighbourhood. Ladies were admitted to the gallery,' who by their presence cheered and animated the scene. The fine band of the 73d .was also stationed in the room, and played various marches, overtures, &c., in a manner which elicited the frequent and loud plaudits of the com pany. The Chair was taken by R. Blakernore, M.P., and the Vice-Chair by Samuel Homfray, Esq., of Bedwelty ; on the right and left of whom we observed Sir Charles Morgan, Bart., M.P. ; Colonel Love, Com mandant of the South Wales district; Octavius Mor gan, Esq., M.P, for the county ; the Rev. A. Isaac son. Vicar of New wort ; the Rev. Dr. Ashley : Josiah Baily, Esq., M.P. ; Major Dawson ; General Sir Digby Mackworth, Bart. ; R. H. Blewitt, Esq., M.P.; Colonel Vande Mutin ; Augustus Morgan, Esq. ; William Booker, Esq., of Velendra ; L. Edwards, Esq., Mayor of Newport ; Thomas Powell, Esq., of the Gaer ; Captain Jones, of Llanwith ; William Meyrick, Esq., of Gwylud-y-garth ; Somers Harford, Esq., Sirrhowy ; 0. A. Wyott, Esq., &c. On the cloth being removed, the CHAIRMAN pro ceeded to give the usual loyal and patriotic toasts. In proposing the toast of the evening, "Prosperity to the Newport Docks," the Chairman addressed the meeting at very great length, pointing out the man ner in which they were calculated to promote the commercial prosperity of the port and its neighbour hood, to assist in 'developing its manufacturing and - mining advantages, and 'to render available the great facilities afforded y the natural safety and excellence of the river Usk. The Hon. Gentleman contended that the importance of the neighbourhood demanded the formation of such an undertaking, for it was a fact that the commercial increase of their population had greatly exceeded that of other parts of the king dom. In support of this argument he quoted from various statistical tables, showing that the increase had been 36 per cent. at every census, except that of 1821, while the average of the kingdom had been only 14i per cent. In alluding to the natural and local advan tages of the port, and the benefit likely to accrue from the completion of the works, he compared the cost of carriage between Birmingham and-Liverpool and Birmingham and Newport, the former being from 15s. to 255., and the latter at the most only 10s. per ton, affording en a quantity of 200,000 tons a saving of 100,000/. The Chairman further referred to the connection of their town with the mining and iron districts, and concluded his speech by proposing the toast, which was drunk with great applause. " The County Members " having been drank, OCTAVIUS MORGAN, Esq., returned thanks for him self and colleague. The CHAIRMAN then gave " The Health of Sir Charles Morgan, Bart." Sir CHARLES MORGAN, returned thanks in an eloquent speech. The CHAIRMAN gave "The Health of the Member for the Borough, R. H. Blewitt, Esq." Mr. BLEWITT returned thanks. Various other toasts were drank, and several ex - cellent speeches delivered. In the evening a very grand di s pl a y o f fi rewor k s took place, on th Rodney wharf, in the presence of a very large concourse of spectators. A large beacon fire was also lighted on the summit of the lofty moun tain, Twm Ba.rlwin, which was the signal for similar bonfires on the summits of other eminences. The day was altogther creditable to Newport and its inhabitants. 3PIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY. GLOBE.—We fully expected the attempt which the Times and the Standard are making, to throw on the New Pour -law the blame of the , straitened means of th e great consum i ng c l asses . This attempt imposes upon us the duty of setting the subject in a just light. ci The Excise reve nue," says the Standard, " and every other branch. of revenue which depends upon general consumption, has been steadily diminishing since the New Poor-law. Bill Caine into operation. This surely cannot be the e f fect of accident." It is very well known that, for several years after the passing of the new Poor-law, the Commis sioners were enabled, in their reports, to exhibit a very considerable reduction in the expense of the pauperism of the country. The mere fact that so stringent a measure of amendment had passed the Legislature, even before its pecu liar machinery had come generally into ope ration, produced the effect of restricting expendi ture, which that machinery was meant to pro duce. It had always been in the power of the parochial authorities to take for themselves those restrictive measures which the law now estab lished generally; and, consequently, they did take them, to such an extent as greatly to re duce the expenditure. Now, in those first years of reduced Poor-law expenditure, were the great branches of revenue impaired? Did that effect result from the restriction of pauperism, which the Times aid the Standard would have us assign principally to that cause? So much the contrary, that it is notorious, trade internal and external, consumption, and, consequently, the evenue, were never in a more flourishing situa tion. And when was this situation altered? When Poor-law expenditure was still farther screwed? When Poor-law machinery came in fuller operation? It is mere treacherous trifling to pretend this. It is notorious Poor-law expenditure has increased again. It is notorious that, in the manufacturing districts especially, whose falling-off in the power of consumption is acknowledged as so large a part of the whole deficiency,—it is notorious, we say, that in those districts, no general lavish ness of relief had existed, and that, in this last year, the relief given has been doubled, or pro bably more than doubled. We regard theas.ser tion that the past and present scales of relief are at the root of the difference in the past and pre sent conditions of the consuming classes, as a diffi n fro cu m li t ie li s e . a o t t f e m t h p e t t t o r u e e ff e e a c u t s e a 3 d o i f v e o r u s i r o fireasgela'ar'clth It is well observed by Colonel Thompson, in his piquant and original, if sometimes ec centric " Exercises," that "when a great op pression is to be maintained, the most effectual way of doing it, whether by design or not, is to get up an outcry of another oppression somewhere else. If the rats in a cage were stock- ing-makers, the best thing that could be done f►r keeping them from resisting the master oppres sion which sets them all starving upon a limited ....•-••• •• ••••• ~,...., .•••.,•.. .....- - - quantity •, of food, would be to persuade the work men rats it was all the fault of the master rats, and so put them on trying their teeth on on e another, instead of the cage which is the foul'- , dation of the mischief." But tactics even more impudent then setting factory operatives against employers, are those of diverting the working classes generally from the Coen-laws by de nouncing the Poor-laws. The whole question being a food question (confessedly so, when Poor-laws are made the cardinal point of it— since Poor-laws simply mean food gratis), what the labouring people are asked to believe is— that a law for giving theta food gratis would compensate them for the mischietS of another law stinting the supplies of food. STANDARD.—The history of the world proves that manufacturing industry never begins to arty extent in a country until agricultural in dustry has nearly reached its seeming limits; . but though, d ou btl e ss, the preference which every man will have for agriculture operates to some extent, the more efficient cause for the re gular transition from agriculture to manufactures is the accumulation of wealth, and the necessity of fityling employment for it. A country once cultivated up to a certain point must become rich, for agriculture is the ultimate source of all wealth, as it is only art th a t i s u ltimately pro ductice, and when me n b ecome r ich, they of course desire to becom e r i c h er, a nd .to make their wealth the mean s o f f art h er ac cumulation. New and inure profitable mo d es of agriculture are tried—these, to their extent , d e populate the • fields, and the field lab ourer i s driven into the manufactory, wher e wea l t h is ready for a time at least t o g i ve him employ ment. This is a proc ess as un ifiem and as certain as any other governe d by the laws of nature. Now a little attention to the considera tion laid down will explain why Germany has made so little progress in manufactures. Ger many had been the seat of war for centuries; but. in a country exposed to this affliction, neither wealth, nor population, nor even the art of agri culture, could advance at t h e natura l ra te; nay more, in a country exp ose d to the poss ibility of becoming the seat of wa r , ne i t h er ca n wealth, population, nor art, mak e t h e natura l progress? Supposing, then, that a considerable amount of capital has been realised in Germany by the late practical freedom of our corn-trade--as doubtless that trade has bad its usual effect of transferring some of our wealth to those who sup plied us with food—it is st i ll un lik e l y t h a t the German capitalists will, to any considerable ammeit, invest their m oney i n manu f ac tures. A free trade with this country f or half a dozen, or ten years, might, indeed, produce in Germany that plethora of wealth and population from which an inland nation can find relief only in manutlictures ; but the time does not seem to have yet arrived for German manufactures, and until England shall transfer a little more of her g ua rantees than any yet con ad Pe st i l e ia‘ a ,le l l t di l , : apvtioeoG)haeebtrityienratln the peace of Euro never u, will, Zollverein resolves very It may be that the vigorously, and that the resolutions of the Zollverein are enthusiastically populati on ; but neither the vi gour of nor the enthusiasm of receivedr theby th Z e ollverein, the people, will create capital,. skill, and mar kets; and without these manufactures cannot be called into existence, or, if called into ex istence, must soon perish. Indeed, the ex cessive . enthusiasm upon which so much re liance is placed to change the habits of the German people, is, if w e ma _ y say it without offence—and we are sure that we intend none. one of those defects in the national character which has, more than any other, tended to keep the nation (speaking of the Whole German.po pulation as one) comparatively , poor. They em bark inconsiderately in speculations beyond their force, and of course fail. We have copied from the Frankfort Journal an articl e in which the extreme enthusiasm of which We speak will be seen pourtrayed in picturesque, if not in carica ture. Music meetings and the like are cited, ! as testimonies to the growing manu facturing pros perity of Germany. Alas for the efficacy of such agents. Music meet ings will not invite men to the eternal gasp and g r b an of the -steam engine; or the ceaseless thunders of the tilt hammer. To conclude, we repeat our profession of indifference as to the resolutions of the Zoll verein, because we know that in the end these resolutions must be waste paper. , ft ----...,_ "' A LI 3 EMARLE-STREET, PICCADILLY, (directly opposite the York Hotel), and c i re 76, KING WILLIAM-STREET, CITY.

Sia,—l have observed a paragraph in your valu able Evening Paper, of the 6th inst., headed " Slave Trade," copied from the Journal du Havre, stating a fabricated )ccurrence supposed to have happened be tween her Majesty's brig Rolla and a piratical armed slaver, which article commences with an untruth and ends with a falsehood. In the first place, the Rolla never belonged to the Congo station, and was there only ' a few hours, and then in company w ith h er Ma jesty s sloop Persian. There is no slaving establish ment in the roadstead at the Congo, or within sight of it. The Rolla never had a man killed by the slaving pirates—reason why ! they always gave her, and her boats, a wide berth. Very unfortunately for her crew, and fortunately for the piratical clippers, the Rolla did not sail very well. I beg to caution all Editors of respectable papers not to be imposed on by „specious reports from unprincipled slave dealers, or their agents, who are all well known •to be the scums of the earth, totally divested of every Christian prin ' ciple, and void of every spark of humanity.—l am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, CHARLES HALL, Commander, late Rolla.

During one of these pain ful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair's Pills, from the use of which I found immediate relief, and very soon en tirely recovered.

The meeting of Portuguese Bondholders held to day was a short and uninteresting proceeding. On the recommendation of Mr. R. Thornton, who spoke much in praise of the honourable and straightforward inten tions of the Portuguese Government, under the ad vice of the present Ministry, to liquidate the interest and principal of the foreign debt, the whole of the persons present with the exception of two who were for no compromise, though willing to accept whatever Portugal might offer as part payment of their claims, agreed to enter immediately into the scheme of con version, so long a subject of debate among them. Mr. Thornton's chief reasons for acquiescing in what he had before strenuously opposed appeared to lie in the belief that - the present Ministry are conducting the business of their country on an economical scale, and will, therefore, be able faithfully to discharge what they promise to the Bondholders, which, according to calculation, he says will produce them an interest within a fraction o? the rate paid upon Consols. Re solutions were passed pledging the meeting to carry out the conversion, and one included the recommenda tion to the Committee of the Stock-Exchange to quote the new bonds in their official lists. Captain Britten, one of the parties who was opposed to the concession, publicly resigned his seat at the Commit tee, on the principle of not submitting to any sacrifice connected with these securities. At the conclusion of the business Mr. Thornton said, that as connected with foreign loans there were now 100,000,0001. due to British capitalists, he threw out the hint for the adoption of more competent per sons of the or°anization e , of a " Foreign Loan Asso ciation," which if it were conducted with spirit and perseverance he was sure would speedily gain a set tlement of these claims. One objection to the proposed alteration of bank ing hours not yet adverted to has been well put by a correspondent, who remarks that for nearly 200 years the custom with bankers of opeiiing their doors to payments at nine in the morning, and closing them at five in the afternoon, has been recognised by the Judges, who have in innumerable instances estab .. ished that custom as law, and hence it has been allowed to regulate all the monetary affairs of indi viduals. But it must be perfectly senseless for them to expect, by any act of their own, to infringe this custom with impunity, by altering the hours of pay ment. They ought at least to weigh carefully the possible consequences to themselves of doing so. The public in general might perhaps submit quietly to the arrangement, but sane tronblesome person would ine vitably be found who, having some banker's accep tance to present, would select a time after four o'clock, the proposed new limit, for doing so, and being refused would repair to the Royal Exchange, then occupied in the usual business of the day, and proclaim to the assembled merchants the fact that the particular banking .house had stopped payment. To carry his power of annoyance still further he might early on the day following, serve each partner with legal process. Such a proceeding woald place the bankers to say the least of it, in an uncomfortable position. In fact, the whole thing is now blown upon in the city as frivolous, ill-considered, and unworthy of them, and the sooner they retrace their steps, and allow the whole to be forgotten, the better. The agitation of the subject will have been of some use if it leads them, by augmenting the number, to lessen the labours of their clerks, a point which has been drawn into the discussion by main force, but with which the public, in reality, have no concern whatever. POST.—The funds were rather depressed in the early part of the day, owing to an unfavourable im pression created by the publication of the revenue tables for the quarter just ended. The public had been led to believe that, as the Income-tax has come partially into operation, the result would have been more encouraging ; but, if something has been ac quired by her Majesty's Exchequer from the source alluded to, it must be b3rne in mind that there has been a considerable relaxation in the import duties. In the wine trade, in consequence of the uncertainty which exists with regard to the adjustment of our commercial relations with Portugal, and the expecta tion which prevails of a diminution in the duty on port wine, there has been a palpaMe falling off in the pay ment of duty during the last three months, but con sumption goes on as usual, and, the treaty being con summated, it may be reasonably assumed that the de ficiency of the quarter ending yesterday, will be com pensated for by the increased payments that will be made at a future period, probably between this time and the sth of January. A more sober view of the matter being accordingly taken, as the day advanced, the quotations rallied before the transactions of the day were concluded. At the meeting of the Portuguese bondholders the proposition for agreeing to the confiscatory measure of the Portuguese Government was acceded to by a large majority. The bonds fell subsequently to the meeting, a tolerably clear proof that the operations in the first instance were, as was suspected, confined to parties who had confederated for the purpose of prop- ping it up. An attempt was 'made to depress the market for Brighton Railway Shares. It, however, did not suc ceed. They left off 35i to 36a. The guar terly sales of indigo commenced to-day. The large quantity disposed of at the July sales, and the unsettled state of the trade generally since that pe riod, produced a stagnation in the market until the ar rival of the Overland Mail in the beginning of last month, stating that the growing crop in the principal districts had sustained great injury. This information gave another tone to it. higher prices were de manded, and, in some instances, an advance of 3d. to 6d. per lb. on the July rates was obtained. On Fri day last accounts from Calcutta of ,a month later date came to hand, confirming the preceding statements to the full extent, and expressing a fear that further da mage to the crops was almost certain through inun dations, in which case the supply would fall short of 70,000 maunds, and which, at the best, and with the most auspicious weather,. could not exceed 100,000 maunds. Such a change of prospects, was calculated, as is observed in the circular of Messrs. Wilkinson, to check the downward tendency, and to create firmness, as well as confidence among the buyers. The circular proceeds to say that— " The sales opened by the importers of the first parcel buying in 18 lots at 6d. to Is. 3d. per lb. above the July prices, when finding only one single bid, they withdrew the remainder, namely, 689 chests ; after which several other parcels were withdrawn, amounting in all to 1,808 chests, in addition to this 576 withdrawn before; after which a great part wa s g h e a n v e e r abl been y e from g on fitelh.rotougihs. to-day, out bought in is. to ls. 6d. per lb. above the July rates, e when the biddings commenced at more moderate fin,ding purchasers. rates, where the importers were disposed to sell, auil r e s4 a t d 7s t e ‘ s v , e r t e h e withdrawn ar a t nd 405 bouallt irk At the l3 llhB i c it e 6h s July e r lh a oe l prices, without reference to quality ran 'g• 1 .1) v from 9d. to ls. 6d. per lb., but irk sgme initaumfroin 6d. to 2s. per lb., about fh .Itllx rates,, and 394 actu ally sold from VI le, per IN. averaging about Bd. per lb. above the July prices.

TILE Btsitoi of CARLISLE.—On Friday l4s,t, a poor man and his wife left Hexham by the Newcastle and Carlisle train, and proceed ed to Newcastle in search of work. Having tw money to pay the fare, the man, 'wheal at liexham, put his watch into the hands a the guard, as a guarantee that it would ti paid afterwards. On arriving at Newcastle., the man accompanied the guard into the stAtinuAeuse, to ac quaint the clerk with the circumstance, and to request that the watch might be safely kept until he returned with the money, which was 53.

LIVERPOOL SHIPMASTERS' AS SOCIATION. We are glad to observe that the Committee of the Shipmasters' Association have been taking means for disseminating much valuable information to the young shipmasters of the port, by making arrangements for the delivery of lectures every alternate Monday even ing, on subjects interesting to navigators. An intro ductory lecture on practical navigation was delivered on Monday, 26th September, by Lieut. Tracey, R.N., as stated in our paper of the 28th. Mr. Livingston, on Monday evening last, commenceda series of lectures on that most intricate and mysterious subject—Oceat Currents. We regret that our space will not admit o our giving even an outline of Mr. Livingston's obser vations, which were ranged under several important heads, as Channel Tides, Currents in the Bay ofßiscay, on the coast of Portugal, and in the Straits of Gib raltar; Tropical Currents ; the Gulf Stream ; North east winds on the coast of Portugal ; trade winds, &c. Mr. Livingston concluded by earnestly advising masters desirous of acquiring as thorough a know ledge of currents as can as yet be attained by study, to consult the interesting work of the late estimable and revered Major Rennel. We were much pleased to see so many shipmasters present, and were parti cularly delighted with the attentive manner in which the lecturer was listened to throughout his discourse, which was delivered in a pleasing, familiar, and per spicuous manner. We are induced to hope that the good example thus set by Lieutenant Tracey and Mr. Livingston will be followed by many others of the in telligent shipmasters who visit this port. It is the bounden duty of every man to make known his expe rience for the benefit of others ; and as it is of the great est consequence that every information should be given reseeding the currents, rocks, shoals, and the dangers which beset the mariner's course, a register has been opened by the master of the rooms of the 4ssociation, for the purpose of recording such extracts from the log-books as may relate to any new discoveries or the confirmation of previous observations. As these notices will be sent periodically to the Nautical Magazine, it is hoped that masters will assist in so desirable an undertaking by forwarding to the Asso ciation all such particulars as they may deem inte resting or useful.—Liverpool Courier. [We will venture to suggest to ship-owners, ship mazters, and all concerned with shipping, that the conduct of the Liverpool Shipmasters' Association should be generally imitated. Proceedings like theirs are much readier and more certain to improve ship masters than Acts of Parliament.—En. Sun.] BRIGHTON POLICE COURT. At the close of the business, on Tuesday, a man stepped into the witness-box, and, addressing the Magistrates, said he was a poor man—which his ap pearance denoted—and that he travelled about the country with music. Yesterday he was going to Shoreham, and when he got to the toll bar, the keeper demanded 3d. He looted at the board to see if there was any allusion to him, and he found none. Vehicles drawn by a horse, mule, beast or ass, were charged, but his vehicle was not drawn by any of those ani mals, and therefore was not subject to charge, and he told the keeper so ; but the keeper pointed to a part of the board which stated that every vehicle drawn otherwise than by animal power should be charged 3d. " Now," continued the man, " I am an animal, and so is my child, and therefore am not chargeable, because you see it was drawn by animal power."—(Laughter.) " Are you an animal," asked the toll. keeper ?" " Yes I amr I said, " and so is my child.' " No, you are not," he replied, "and I shall have the toll." The poor man then proceeded to state that, as he refused to pay the 3d (he being quite positive that he was an animal) the toll collector had seized his violin, and he (the musician) now applied to the Magistrates to give him redress. Mr. Upperton referred to the Act which imposed tolls on vehicles drawn by horse, mule, beast, or ass. and on those propelled otherwise than by animal power. Major Allen—But it was drawn by animal power. Major Willard—ln parliamentary language they do not allow a man to be an animal.—(Laughter.) Mr. Upperton—Well, the Magistrates will grant you a summons if you like. The applicant remarked that it would detain him, and added that the instrument cost him 2/. Mr. Upperton suggested that the best way would probably be to send a note to the toll keeper, and this course was adopted. THE REVOLUTION IN SERVIA. FRANKFORT, OCT. 4.—According to the Anna Ga zette, which, appearing so near the scene of action, ought to be good authority, the Consuls of France, England, and Austria are at open variance with the Pacha commanding the fortress of Belgrade, having addressed to that officer a joint note on the subject of the recent revolutionary movements. They allege, it is stated in this document, that the Sultan having by a hatti-sheriff, conferred on Michael Obrenowitsch the rank of Muschir and reigning Prince of Servia as the Sultan's representative, they are bound to regard all who do not acknowledge this rank as rebels, not only with them, that i, against the Prince, but agai ns t th e S u lt an .

The IntAt important part of these proceedings is the conduct of the Austrian Consul, who was able to communicate with Vienna in six days, and thus may be stlepoSeci to have acted under the authority of his G•ON:orument. The other Consuls, of course, acted on their own responsibility, The decided position taken by Austria, as well as the conduct of the Russian Consul, who no only seems to have abstained from joining in the remonstrance of his colleagues, but by refs mg his visa to the passport of the Russian Mi uister,.whom Prince Michael desired to send to St. Petersburgh, took a singularly hostile part against the Prince, leave no other view of all these occurrences other than that taken in my first letter. The firmness of Austria, and the unity of sentiment shown by the three , Consuls, ifannouneed in sufficient time at Constantino- I pie, may save, the independence of Servia ; and the cur._ sequent punishment of the disturbers of the peace, -, v h o have now, for the third time, thrown the coun 4 4 --- y into confusion, will leave, it is to be hoped, ; l c, see d s of distrust for the future.

EXTRACTS FROM THE is INQUIRY INTO THE SANITARY CONDITION Ws Tti4 LABOURING POPULATION OF GREAT BRITAIN."—(CoIsrxNUED.) Wood, when pinned together and laid on a firm substratum; appears to be less retentive of wet than most tbrms of stone pavement, end to possess very considerable advantages over this Maradamised roads fur crowded thoroughfares. If it be brought into general use, it will have an advantage in removing the granite-dust, which medical authorities believe to be much more pre judicial to health, in exciting or aggravating lung diseases, than the public have been aware of. Where there is much dust in the working of close quarries, the effects of it are almost as destructive to the lungs of the operatives as the knife-grinding to the operatives of Sheffield who do not guard against the steel-dust. " It is scarcely conceivable," Dr. Arnott states, " that the immense quantities of granite-dust pounded by one or two hundred thousand pairs of wheels working on Macadamised streets, should not greatly injure the public health. In houses bor dering such streets or roads, It is found that, not. withstanding the practice of watering, the furni ture is often covered with dust even more than once in the day, so that writing on it with the finger becomes legible, and the lungs and .air tubes of the inhabitants, with a moist lining to detain the dust, are constantly pumping the same atmosphere. The passengers by a stage-coach in dry weather, when the wind is moving with them, so as to ke.la them enveloped in the cloud of dust raised by the horses' feet and the wheels of the coach, have their clothes soon saturated to whiteness with the dust, and t h e i r lungs of course are charged in a corresponding degree. A gentleman who rode only twenty miles in this way, had afterwards to cough and expectorate f or ten days to clear his chest again."--p age 50, Mr. John Martin, the artist, has endeavouss e a to direct public attention to the sewerage of th e metropolis, and proposed the erection of a grand, cloaca maxima, and various architectural Ivor's% lalong the Thames, with the meritorious objec sa of preventing the pollution of the river. :and saving the refuse. His plan was to form a c ana l on each bank parallel to the river, so as V., inter cept the whole of the'sewcrage, and cov e y it tot large reservoirs or places of deposit m a distancrs, His" Plan for the north bank was a canal, con structed of iron, costing 60,000/. per mile, 'ex tending from Westminster to the mouth of the Regent's Canal, " where the grand receptacle should be from which the soil should be con veyed to barges, and transmitted by canals to parts i of the country:"—Committee ota Sewers' Report, p. 169. The primary objection. to this plan is that it would send the refuse stall further out of the reach of large districts, whe re it is wanted as manure, to a place where it would. only.be available to the places for which ca na l conveyance would be convenient; that it avould leave untouched the great obstacle to the use of manure, namely, the cost of removal and appli cation by cartage and hand labour. The con struction of the canal would also involv e the dis turbance of the whole of the wharf property; as originally proposed, it involved their entire re construction, and the erection of a grand colon nade along the banks of the river. For the r e -- moval of the refuse, eng i ne e rs of Practical ex - perience agree that the most eligible plan ay.:as by various small conduits, not larger, where iron pipes might be necessary, than the pipes 'used by the water compani es i n b r i ng i ng waSefs into the metropolis, at a cost not a fifth, pesisaps, of one large canal, and without any distui:b .mince of property. For the application of the. manure, practical experience. at Edbi 'refuse as burgh,'and of irrigation elsewhere, shows that most ef fectual mode of distribution for use is by water meadows or drainage and irrigasion combined; forming an unseen, unostentatas,,„, self-acting system of excretory ducts, Oscoge t her super seding- cartage or hand labo'‘,., and conveying the refuse in closed stream acting constantly and rapidly until they dis t Alone the refuse i n t o the field of production.--- '? age 63. I have reason to belie'ie that in many parts of Scotland the want of a good supply of water is one of the most mat . e •rial impedime n t s to t h e furtherance of clea n ly • habits among the working people. Besides the immediate evils of a nar row supply, much ti; ne is wasted, and many bad habits are acquired l a y those who have to wait their turn at the wells in a time of drought. Dundee, Stirling, 'D un f erm li ne, L anark, and Ar broath, are all. believe, imperfectly supplied- The community of Dundee have spent about 30,000/. in a contest between the supporters of two contending water-bills; and I underfitandl that an Act 'which was passed about three yealA ago has been found incapable of being put operation Where there is a posit ive deficiency of the element on the spot, the ussans of procuring a supply from another place -are sz) various and so dependent on local circumsf.ances, that nothing but some arbitrary authority, p )s -sessed of sufficient funds, could ensure its being obtained in every instance.--Page Gc's. The Itev. Whitwell Elwin, the chaplain of the Bath Union ; gives the fisllowiug illustration of the habits of many of the working population even of that city, which is well supplied with. water :—" A man had to fetch water from or,e Of the public pumps in Bath, the distance fr. Ali his house being about a quarter of a mile,—' .t is as valuable,' he said, :Ls strong beer. e can't use it for cooking, or anything of that sort, but only for drinking and tea.' Then where do you get water for cookincs and washing?' Why,, from the river. But It is muddy, and often stinks; • bad, because all the filth is carried there.' Pso, you, then, prefer to cook your victuals in watt• r which is muddy and stinks, to walking a quart er of a mile to fetth it from the pump?' We erai't help ottraelyes, you know. We could not t r o all that • way for it.' There arc many gentlesoen's 'Souses in the same district in which the ma:ter is not fit for cooking ; and I know that much pri vation and inconvenience is under rune to avoid the expense of water-car r i age . I have often wondered to see the s hift s which hav e b den en dared rather than !' e at the cost of an (Au ra p a il of water, of which the price was three half pence. With the poor, far less obstrzcles are an absolute barrier,- because no privatlon is telt by them so little as that of cleanlin•,,ss. The p ro _ pensity to dirt is so strong , the steps s o f ew and easy, that nothi ng but die utmost facilities for• water can act as a counterpoise; and such is tf.e love of uncleanliness, when once contracted, % / mit no habit, not even drunkenness, is so difficu',t to eradicate." --Page 70. In most towns, and certainly in the larg er ma nufacturing towns, those members of a tinnily who are of strength to fetch water are usually of strength to be employed in profitabl e industry, and the - mere value of their time expended in the labour of fetching water, is 'almost always much higher than the cost of rea - alar supplies of water even at the charge mace by the wr.ter companies. In Glasgow the charge for sur.ply ing a labourer's tenement is ss. per annura ; in Manchester Gs. In London the thival chr.rge is 10s. for a tenement containing two families, for which sum two tons and a half of a-ater per week may be obtained if needed. Fo - e . ss. per annum, then, as a water-rate (on. which , from ten or twenty per cent. is paid to the ovii , .fir for col lection), each labourer's tinnily may bye suppli e d in the m etropolis with one ton and a. quarter of w a t er weekly, if they find it necessiay t o use so much.
