L ie rn,_heis pocket... Ile has. administered the r _ o iv teal Medicine to all his family, and his vy Mu:lending them to all her neighbours. In consequence of their receiving such a substantial benefit they are determined to have no other medicine than the Hygean pills, which they so much esteem. The next case I shall mention is a lady near the Tower, who had laboured under a complication of disorders for the last fourteen years, and who called at my house to make inquiry about the astonishing cures which have been per formed by Mr. Morison's Universal Medicine, and as she was well acquainted with me for some years, she could place confidence in the veracity of my word. I gave her a detailed account of the wonderful good it had done me, and lent her the Morisnniana, requesting her to inspect it it very minutely. In a few days she sent for a I Is. packet, and went through a regular course, and so strictly did she pay attention to the directions, that in one month she came to thank me for my attention to her case, and declared that the Hygean pills had done more for her in one month than all the medicine she had taken for the last fourteen years. She said that she would always keep them in her house, and recommend them to her friends, for they had made a perfect cure of her. Mr. —, her husband, immediately commenced taking them. He had very recently had an apoplectic fit, and found relief. He has no fear of the return of his disease, and has no doubt the pills have prevented the return. The next case is a gentleman's daughter, in Bedford. square, whom I have known from her infancy ; she was always a very delicate younc woman, therefore I embraced the opportunity of calling on her father to inquire how his children were. He told me he expected to lose one in a decline, for she was given over by all the doctors, and he had this moment paid a M. D., in the parlour, between eighty and ninety pounds, and she was worse than when he undertook to cure her. He had just pronounced her incurable, begging, at the same time, that she might be permitted to die as easily as she could, as they could do no more for her. I was desired to take a seat in the parlour, and my friend would see me immediately. He had no idea that I came to recommend Mr. Morison's Vegetable Uni versal Medicine, but I immediately inquired the particu lars respecting the young lady. Her father said it was all over with her new, for, the last, M.D. had pronounced her incurable. I, nevertheless, urged the necessity of at least a trial of Mr. Morison's Hygean Pills. Her father said that it was of no use, but referred to the mother. It was in vain, however, to say anything to her, for she would not hear so much as the mention of them; there fore, after a long conversation, I bid them farewell. When I returned home, I reflected on the importance of saving a life that might prove valuable, and the awful consequences of neglecting to exercise the power that God in his providence has thrown in the way to save it, and at the same time made up my mind to pay another visit. Ac cordingly, the next day, after breakfast, I walked to Bed ford-square, and found them just sitting down to breakfast, and of course, being an old friend, I was asked into the room, and as my business was urgent, I introduced the business of the number of cures the Hygean Pills had perfortned,and in very similar ca , es. The lady said they had been recommended from another gum ter, but she was snre they would be of no service to her, and to prove what she said, she requested me to put my ear to her breast, and I might easily feel her heart beat like a ham mer. I was very much surprised, but was thoroughly convinced in my own mind that she would be recovered by Mr. Morison's Hygean Medicine. They were all against it, but I urged the necessity of trying them. They wished her to die as easy as she could ; as she was persuaded by her medical adviser. I then re quested she would indulge me by reading the " .Morisoniana" at her leisure hours, and she said she certainly would do herself the pleasure of gratifying me the next day. I left the book, and promised to call in one week. I called according to promise, and found her parents very low in spirits respecting their daughter. I told them to cheer up, and that 1 would venture to bay that their (laughter would recover, if she would abide by the directions given by Mr. Morison, and requested at the same time that she would call on Mr. Morison at his house. She promised to do so. I attended at the time appointed, and found that the principles of the Great Hygean had shaken her resolutions ; likewise her parents. The father said he was determined to mike up his mind to permit her to use her own judgment ; therefore, he would leave it to her; and said, my friend, you shall have it from her own mouth. She was called into the parlour, and after taking a seat, she appeared more like a corpse than a living person. Her father said to her Mr. Coverly wishes you to say whether you have made up yiiur mind to try Mr. Morison's Vegetable Universal Medicine. I will thank you to say what you thought of the Alorisoniana. Sir,—l do declare I cannot express my feelings. (Her eye appeared to brighten and voice was very distinct and elear.) I, with pleasure, at this moment declare to you I am satisfied with Mr. Morison's theory, and will go through a course without fear. I have made up my mind, I will begin immediately. I assure you I felt my self very much gratified, and said, I ant quite persuaded they will cure you. She purchased a I ls. packet, and of course found herself very poorly at first, but when she had got over the first sensations the difficulty was over, and she continued, with cheerfulness, until she had increased to the amount of twenty every dose. The next visit I made, I was surprised to find her mind lively, and her hopes increased, and when I called next week, I found her quite another person in appearance, and by her deter mination to pay strict attention to Mr. Morison's regula tions, to eat no salted meat or salted fish, and in par ticular to refrain from taking any spirits, she is now quite another person, and in less than three months had, with her husband, given the sum of 500/. for a business in the country, and is repeatedly behind the counter attending the business. The next case I shall report is Mrs. - a lady near the Tower, who has laboured under a ♦ery severe afflic tion of the passing of gall stones. I was desired to call on her at - and after a li,tle conversattun, she showed me a 11,,x of stones, some of them were as big as the top of my little finger. 1 viewed this box of curiosities, and felt myself very thankful that it was not my case. I lent her the Practicle Proof, and after she bad read it, she agreed to take them, and in a little time her son came for more pills, and declared the Vegetable Universal Medicine had done for her what no other doctor could do, for it bad cost her a large sum of money for advice, and she was the same as when she first began. The Hygean Pills bad reduced the stones into sand, and she intended to con tinue to take them, and I have no doubt but they will be of the most essential service so her. I will just mention that a gentleman shoemaker who was very much afflicted with the rheutnatisot in the hips and his wife with general debillity, both in one month found themselves quite recovered from their inability, and have left off taking them, quite satisfied of the utility of keeping the Hyge in Pills always by them. The next case is a German gentleman, who was given over by a number of the faculty, and had been recom mended by the father of the person who went into business. Wien he came to me he could searcely stand, but in three months has recovered his inabillity, and now is following his business. His lady likewise has been taking them all the time of her pregnancy, and is now doing well, and they say they will recommend them wherever they can. They likewise continue to keep them in the house. If I were to report every case that has come under my notice, you would soon till a volume with cases of small impost, such as tick-do!ereux, urinary obstructions, pi'es, lumbago, or extreme costiveness, &c. &c. &c. therefore, I shall just say I visit e d a gent l eman , a t t h e west en d, w h o positively told me that his own physician begged of him not to mention names, and he would without hesitation inform him that all his family, who are now in the country, are in the habit of taking them. In fact the greater part of those that have taken them once, tell me, they never will be without then], and in general beg that their names may not be made public, but I will gratify any inquirer, and, upon oath, if required. A gentleman upon the point of going to France, who has taken at least 1,200 Hygean Pills, was with me last night. He has received the greatest benefit, for a complication of disorders, and has been under a number of 111.1).'s, none of whom could do him any good. This gen. tleman has been very particular in attending to the printed directions, and has absolutely been living on milk all the time that he has been taking them. He declares be will take them to France with him, and snake them as public as possible. Sir—l think you will be gratified at the astonishing progress the Vegitable Universal Medicine is making in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, and especially at this time, when the cholera morbus has again made its appearance. I am Sir, with due respect, your very bumble servant, EDWARD COVERLY.

The Montreal Papers of Wednesday furnish the following intelligence of the progress of this traveller on an errand of humanity " On Monday last two canoes, manned by voyageurs of the Honourable Hudson's Bay Company, arrived at Lachine from the interior. By these, letters have been received from Captain Back, dated the 19th of June, from Jack River, a small depot and trading post of the Company at the north west extremity of Lake Oninioique, in which Captain Back reports himself and party in excellent health. He also expresses himself much satisfied with the arrange ments made and zeal manifested in the interior to facilitate the object of the expedition. The following is verbatim: As the season is fast advancing, I purpose proceeding immediately in a light canoe to find out the Thleu ci cho, and also to select a wintering station, which may be effected before or by the time my heavy barges reach the Athabasca, and by this means they will be enabled to come on direct to the end of their journey.' "—New York Papers, Aug. 20. GENERAL DISPENSARY, ALDERSGATE- SeßEET.—Wednesday a general meeting of the Governors of this institution was held, for the purpose of considering and revising its laws, particularly those relating to the election of officers of the establishment. A very warm discussion ensued upon a motion relative to the period when a govei nor should become entitled to vote. After it had been disposed of several of the medical gentlemen complained of the proceedings, and eventually resigned their offices. Those who resigned were Dr. Clutterbuck, Dr. Lambe, Dr. Roberts, Mr. Salmon and Mr. Coulson. Dr. Birkbeck, in expressing his intention to resign, read a letter from the Duke of Sussex, the President of the institution, in which his Royal Highness stated that if the medical gentlemen resigned, he should pursue the same course. It was then moved and carried (there being now no medical men attached to the institution), that in future no member of the pro'ession be allowed to sit on the com mittee of management. An English mail had arrived at St. John's on the 18th of July, bringing the intelligence that Mr. Stanley's motions respecting the compensation to be given to the slave proprietors had passed the House of Com mons. The House of Legislature was convened by special c ill, and the Governor forwarded to them a despatch from the Colonial Secretary, recommending their unreluctant acquiescence in the purposes 01 Government relative to emancipation. A respectful acknowledgment was made to the Governor for the communication, with an assu rance that the House would gi ve its contents their serious consideration. No comments whatever appear to have been made on the communication. Mr. Stanley's despatch appears, with one or two exceptions, to have reached the whole of the West India colonies, and to have been wel received in all of them. THE WOOL TRADE.—The attention of the manufacturers, and others engaged in this trade, has been directed this week to several public sales of colonial and other wools. Yesterday about 1,500 bales of Australian, Van Diemen's Land, and other wools, were offered, and the buyers from Yorkshire, &c. were in full attendance. Some of the finest fleeces from Australian flocks fetched 3s. to 3s. 4,3-1 per ib., which fully maintained former prices. The lower description of wools were in demand. The finest fleeces from Van Ditmen's Land obtained from 2s. to 2s. 5d per lb. Early in the week about 1,100 bales of Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales vvo , Is were offered, and fully maintained former prices. To morrow a further sale of 700 bales is announced, and as the stocks are still low advatictd prices are expected to be realised for peculiar qualities. The biddings at the sales that have already occurred were very spirited, and from the present activity which exists i❑ the manufacturing districts, an opinion favourable to the future state of the trade is held. POACHERS.—The most scientific poacher, and the least likely to be detected, is the one who snares partridges in the open country, or catches hares and phea sants in covert, in the middle of the day. Take a covert, for instance, the poacher with snares and silk ❑ets, goes through it, and quietly sets them. When this is done, throu4hout the whole extent of covert, where there are paths or runs, the coppice is then disturbed by a mute and unsuspected cur, and the destruction immense, if well supplied with game. The grand time for this is on a Sunday ; or on a wet day, when no sports men are likely to be out. The fellow, if caught, has of course some prepared excuse, such as that of nut ting ; of cutting a stick; having lost his way, Sc.. You can find no game upon him, and therefore can do nothing with him—while possibly his fifty brace are hid awry in sacks to be brought off at midnight to the receiver.

RAIL-ROADS IN FRANCE.-CURIOUS LI TIGATION WITH A MINING COMPANY OVER WHOSE MINE THE ROAD RAN.-The Temporary Chamber of the Tribunal of St. Etienne gave a lodgment on the 31st ult. whic;i appears to be of considerable importance he regards rail-roads running through mining districts. The parties to the case were the company of share-holders of the rail-road between St. Etienne and Lyons, of the one part, and the proprietors of the Couzon coal mines on the other. The case was first brought befoe the Tribunal in St. Etienne in the year 1829, and was successively . carried before the Court of Ly ons , b e f ore t h e C ounc il o f the Prefecture of the Loire, b.-fore the Council of Mines, and lastly before the Council of State. The question in dispute was as follows :—The Rail-road Company, in its operations, having occasion to cross the mine of Couzon, the Prefect of the Loire forbade the working o the mines either under the rail-road, or within a given distance of it, in order to guard against accidents, and in his zeal for the public safety. The coal proprietors protested against this as an interference with their rights of property, and applied to the Rail-road Company for remuneration for the loss which this prohibition caused to them, and the point to be set at rest was whether or not the demand wal legal. Mr. Smith, Procureur to the King, ably sup ported the case of the miners, and in a speech of two hours entered into a consideration of the nature of mining property, and also of that of rail-roads, and contended that the proprietors of the latter were in possession of a pro perty of no use to the public, whilst the Mining Company were deeply associated with the public interests. The Court decided i n f avour of the claims, and appointed Commissioners ssii c in o e mp rs a t n o y determinethe payin amou n t of n v tof of whatth R compen sation to the proprietors of the mines. OLD BAILEY EXPERIENCE. BY THE AUTHOR OF " THE SCHOOLMASTER'S EXPERIENCE IN NEWGATE." This is a work of immense value, which every Member of Parliament, but especially those interested in the amendment of the criminal law, ought to have on their tables. Some of the matter it contains has already appeared in Frazer's Magazine, but much of it is original. We have had it so long on our table, buried under a pile of papers out of notice, we are ashamed to say, that we almost despair of being able to quote any interesting part of its contents not already known to our readers. As its title implies, the work not only enters largely into the principles on which our criminal jurisprudence is founded, but gives all mariner of details respecting the practices of the thieve s of every grade. The following story is found under that of housebreakers : " I can n tine several boys now in custody, who have been actors in some of the most complicated schemes of burglary, i and from whom much on this head might be elicited. One in particular, who began his career by robbing a gentleman in Mark Lane of plate to a consider able amount ; and as it shows one method of committing a robbery, I will relate how it was accomplished. The boy wed under sentence of death when 1 got the history of his !de from him, he having been nine years in the suc cessful commission of crime; and although nearly eighteen years of age, his appearance gave him credit for only being fourteen. Whilst in custody, his constant theme of regret was that be had left the parties in whose services he had been so long and securely employed, to join some of his own age, embarking in business for themselves ; by which he was nicked' (taken up.) He was an orphan, and had been brought up in the poor-house, whence he was apprenticed to a sweep in the city. Ile was a remarkably sham p boy, which no doubt was noticed by those who are always on the look out for agents, to aid them in their schemes. He was nut one morning early, with the soot bag on his back, by a man who pretended to be his uncle, and who gave him a half-crown piece, making another appointment for a meeting, the result of which was, before he hail served sixteen months of his time he bad given information by which fifteen robberies had been committed. He, of course, had been paid fir his services, which soon made him disgusted with the sooty business; and he made an arrangement with the man who drew him into crime, to leave his master's service, and to commit with biro a robber yon their own private account before he left. The house fixed on was the one above alluded to in Mark Lane. The premises had before been surveyed, and deemed im pregnable; that is to say, were consideted too well guarded to be robbed without detection. They, however, got possession of the plate in the following manner:— " The boy was a favourite with the cook of the house, and she would have no other to sweep her kitchen chimney; a matter of business which was performed the last Saturday in every month. It was concerted between the man and the boy, that the former should dress himself in the character of a sweep, and accompany the latter as hie overlooker, or assistant. The real sweep overlooker, of course, must be kept out of the way ; and here laid all their difficulty. It cost the boy (to use his own expres sion) six months longer punishment as a sweep, and the man six appearances, at an early hour of the morning, in the same character, before the object could be carried, namely, to get rid of the real sweep. At length, one Saturday, by pretending to forget the job until all the men were gone out about other work, the boy, affecting suddenly to recollect it, persuaded the master to let him go alone, saying he himself could perform the duty. It was five o'clock in the morning when he and the dis guised robber reached the house ; the cook opened the door, having nothing on save a blanket thrown over her shoulders. The arch young rogue said, It's only me and Harry; it's a very cold morning ; if you like to go to bed again, cookey, we will do it well, and leave all clean, and shut the door fast after us.' She went to bed, and they went to the plate depository, which had been well noted ofttimes before. They put the whole of its contents into the soot bag, and fearlessly walked through the streets with it on their backs. The boy, a few hours afterwards, was so metamorphosed, being dressed in the smartest manner, with cane in hand and fifty pounds in his pocket, that he walked the streets in full confidence that not even his master or his fellow apprentices would know him." " Others of the gang, belonging to housebreakers, employ themselves in courting the servant girls ; by which means they frequently obtain admittance to the house during the absence of the principals, and thus become acquainted with all the localities of the premises, and the habits of the family ; after which, they lay their plans with almost a certainty of success." The " march of intellect" may be noted even among the thieves. The author thus narrates and exemplifies the change which civilization has produced on the thieving community : " Highway robbery, according to the usual accept ation of the term, is now an unknown crime; llaynes, of Hounslow Ileath memory, being the last of those termed highwaymen. It is now only committed by occasional desperate men, and generally in the suburbs of the metro polis, or in a crowd, where a gang of fellows sometimes surround the person, robbing the party in the face of all the standers-by. Nothing but the vigilance of the police can cope with these characters, as the recklessness and dte, perate state of the thief at the time, arising from went of money, places the offence out of the pale of al precau tionary measures; and it may be relied on, that the gene rality of thieves have even an abhorrence of any violence committed on the person. They have a very unfavourable opinion of any of the fraternity who cannot carry on their business without it. " I had an opportunity of seeing a remarkable instance of this last year. An Irish itinerary tinker knocked a captain of a vessel down, in the neighbourhood of the London Dock!, in a most brutal manner, in the dark, and robbed hire of his money. When the fellow was coin mime! to Newgate, he applied to me to make out his kief : from the desperate nature of the offence I at first declined doing it, knowing he must suffer; but the man urged me so much, that at length I consented ; be saying, 6 It I am found guilty I know I am as dead as Harry the E;ghth, and shall not blame you.' There were in the saute yard where lie was, before his trial, nearly a hundred prisoners, one half of whom wete transports, but not one of them would associate with him, in consequence of the instructions nature of for his aff mak e i n n e g e ;a w out the thehenbrliesen his f v ,t t h t e o y take i called out for me not to do it; and I got some insults for o i having und er t a k en i t. T hey afterwards led the man such a life, that lie app e a re d t o b e re li eve d when lie was con demned and sent to the cell. From this it may be seen, as !. On the Lord Byron m t r t:s, morning of ntl°liisienalaren,sx all e evil.'ecution, not a word of commiseration lor him, or reproach on the practice of hanging, was uttered, by one hundred and twenty men who followed crime as a trade. On the contrary, they all, nemine contradicente, said he deserved his fate. Yet Mr. Wakefiehrl says (p. 185, second edition), It can hardly be doubted, that every year persons confined in Newgate, who have never committed crime accompanied by any violence, are converted into savage burglars and merciless footpaths, by the feelings of anger and desperation which the killing of their late companions engenders.' " The explanation of this is, that the character and feelings of the public thief, as of all other classes of so ciety, have undergone a visib'e and marked change within the last thirty years. Whether it has been for the better, is another question. Formerly the heroes of th,ir party were fellows conspicuous and famed for open and dating acts of plunder, in whom the whole body had a pride, and whom they all felt ambitious to imitate ; failing only to do so for lack of the same quantum of courage. The more desperate and numerous the instances of robbery, the more were the parties lauded and admired. It was then the fasbion among these men to boast of their conduct under punishment. In those times there must be no snivelling, no 'peaching, no contrition ; and the malefactor must die bravely to entitle himself to fame. The Turpins and the Jerry Abershaws of the day were the objects of their admiration ; such men as those on the road to execution would stop and drink gin, offering libations to the success of all highwaymen, and when or, the gallows kick their shoes off, swearing with an oath, they always said they would never die with them on;' or like Despard, who' when brought out for execution, remarked to the execu tioner that it was a tine morning, and wondered whit sort of weather it was in the other country ; adding, ' But never mind, I shall soon know all about it.' All this kind of heroism has subsided ; their leaders now are men rendered famous for scheming, subtlety, and astute ness. Formerly, the passport to enrolment under their banners was a name for boldness and monstrous acts of outrage; now a certificate must he brought of the man never having committed an indiscreet act in his calling ; and that the party is up to all the moves upon the board, and knows something.' This ' knows something' is a sentence ever in the mouth of the thieves, and has a very extensive meaning. When an associate of a set of rogues recommends an acquaintance for admission into their party, the first question asked by all the members is, What does he know ?' If the answer be in the super lative degree, Every thing, and is a good operator,' he is admitted ; but if the reply be in the comparative, and He only knows something,' then they are very cautious, even should the party bLt admitted, cf entrusting him with all their movements: nor will they allow him what they call regulars; that is, a fair proportion of the plunder. This is dune by an underst• nding among the rest." The following presents a picture of a different kind, and although a strong one, we will ven ture to say, was . .ng but of an uncommon kind during the . Are- such fact - occurring ought of itself to be sufficient to make the Le gislature free the nation from the monstrous stain which the practice of impressment casts upon it : " Meredith, speaking of a bill which was passed to punish with death, stealing in a shop, or lifting any thing off a counter with intent to steal, relates a case which is too remarkable for rue to omit. He says, " Under this act, one Mary Jones was executed, whose case I shall just mention ; it was at the time when press warrants were issued, on the alarm about Falkland Islands. The woman's husband was pressed, their goods seizd for sonic debt of his, and she, with two small children, turned into the streets a-begging. 'Tis a circumstance not to be forgotten, that she was very young, (under nineteen,) and most re markaltly handsome. She went to a linen-draper's shop, took some coarse linen cff the counter, and slipped it under her cloak ; the shopman saw her, and she laid it down : for this she was hanged. Her defence was, (I have the trial in my pocket,) that she had lived in credit, and wanted for nothing, till a pressgang came and stole her hosband from her ; but since then she bad no bed to lie on ; nothing to give her children to eat, and they were almost naked ; and perhaps she might have done something wrong, for she hardly knew what she did.' The parish officers testified the truth of this story, but there bad been a good deal of shoplifting about Ludgate-- an example was thought necessary—and this woman was hanged for the comfort and satisfaction of some shopkeepers about Ludgate-street. When brought to receive sentence, she behaved in such a frantic manner, as proved her mind to be in a distracted and desponding state; and the child was sucking at her breast when she went to Tyburn. Let us reflect on this woman's fate. The poet says, An honest man is the noblest work of God.' He might have said, with equil truth, that a beauteous woman is the noblest work of God. But for what cause was God's creation robbed of this its noblest work ? It was for no injury; but for a mere attempt to clothe two naked chil dren by unlawful means. Compare this with what the state did, and what the law did. The state bereaved the woman of her husband, and the children of a father, who was all their support; the law deprived the woman of her life, and the children of their remaining parent, exposing them to every danger, insult, and merciless treatment, that destitute and helpless orphans suffer. Take all the circumstances together, I do not believe that a fouler mur der was ever committed against law, than the murder of this woman by law." LONDON NEW CATTLE MARKET AND ABATTOIRS. The utility of a new cattle market and abattoirs on the skirts of the metropolis, so as to do away with the nuisances that have so long disgraced many densely populated parts of London, and endangered the lives of the inhabitants, has long been felt; and we have great pleasure in stating that a public spirited individual (Mr. Perkins) has at length ac complished so desirable an object. It is situated is the Lower-road, Islington, and was on Tuesday last submitted to the inspection of several scientific, literary, and professional men. The new mart stands upon an area of 22 acres. The situation is airy and healthful, and is peculiarly appropriate for the purpose, as it is on the high road for the northern and eastern parts of the country ; from whence the principal supply of cattle for the London market comes. An immense square is en closed by high walls, around which are erected a continuous range of slated sheds, supported by no less than 244 plain Doric pillars, under which cattle may at all times be protected from the severity of the weather. These sheds are subdivided into numerous compartments with lairs en closed by oak palings in front, to wlich the beasts may be either fastened, or allowed to be at liberty so as to be conveniently subject to the examination of the purchasers. In each lair there is a water trough, constantly supplied with fresh water, by means of pipes passing under ground, from too immense tanks, which are kept filled by machinery from capacious wells which have been sunk for the purpose. The average length of the sheds is S3O feet, and they are capable of ac commodating at least four thousand beasts, and here they may remain from one market day to the other, or till such times as it may be convenient for the purchasers to remove them—an advantage wholly impracticable in Smithfield. The open space in the centre is divided into four quadrangles, intersected by wide pas-ages, and in these quadrangles are to be erected sheep-pens (the materials for which are all ready), capable of holding forty thousand sheep, and so placed as to be approached with perfect facility. Other pens are constructed for calves, pigs, arid such animals as are usually brought for sale to the cattle market, upon an obviously simple classification, so as to avoid confusion or irregularity of any sort. Every necessary office for the salesmen and clerks of the market will be erected in a large area in the centre, and the ingress is obtained through a large arched passage under the market-house, a fine sub stantial building, with appropriate offices on each side for check clerks, and with accommodation up stairs, either for the counting-houses of hankers, or public meetings connected with the business of the establishment. To the leads of this house the visiters proceeded, mid from thence a full view of the whole market was obtained, as well as of the sur rounding country, at once sliowing the perfect appro priateness and unobjectionable character of the site, which, in point of extent, is four times larger than Smithfield. The piers and layers are all to be paved, if we may use the expression, with hard bricks ; and the drainage is so contrived as to insure perfect cleanliness in the most unfavourable weather. ABATTOlRS,—Adjoining the market it is intended to erect abattoirs for slaughtering cattle of every description, in which persons may be accommodated with private slaughter-houses or have the animals slaughtered under appointed inspectors at a certain fixed and moderate rate, so that all the expense, inconvenience, and mischief arising from the present mode of driving the cattle through the crowded streets on the market day may be avoided. So much has been said on the great importance of this part of the plan that it requires no further remark. A market tavern, with stable-yard, stables, and sheds, capable of accommodating the horses of the frequenters of the market, is also to be erected, to gether with a range of shops for the sale of such things as are calculated to meet the wants of the vari ous classes who may be drawn to the spot by their respective avocations. Every possible want has, in fact, been foreseen ; and as the place is open for inspection, the public h a v e an opportun i ty of judging of its utility by personal observation. It would seem that the Corporation of London have already taken alarm at the popularity, ,which this market is likely to attain, and in May last Ahey served a notice on Mr. Perkins (the proprietor), forewarning him against building or opening his pre mises in violation of their " rights, privileges, fran. chises, charters, liberties, customs," as if sueliiights, in the present enlightened age, were 'to interfere with positive benefit to the comMunity,and to entail upon the metropolis, in perpetuity, a nuisance not only offensive to humanity, but injurious to health. At the conclusion of the inspection, the major part of fae company dined at White Conduit-house, where the new mart again became the subject of en comium, and Sir Anthony Carlisle, Dr. Hodson, and several of the professional gentlemen present, expressed their surprise that in this, the first city in the woad, distinguished as it was over all others for its vast improvement, and for the regard which was paid to public health and convenience, the mon wrous evils arising from the market in Smithfield had not long since been remedied. Again, with regard to the abattoirs, which they were happy to find were to form part of this establishment, nothing, they said, was more wanting, as there could be no doubt that the existence of slaughter-houses in crowded neighbourhoods had been productive of the worst consequences to the health of the inha bitants, and was calculated in warm weather to en. gender the most fatal diseases. Ou the continent these things were managed better ; and rot only were those abattoirs in appropriate situations, but public inspectors were appointed, whose duty it was to see that cattle were in a proper state to be killed, and fit for human food. They hoped such inspec tors would, by legislative enactment, be attached to the new mart, as every day's experience showed that nothing was more common than to send meat for sale to the public markets which was utterly unfit for the food of man. The CHAIRMAN having proposed "the health of Mr. Perkins, and success to the new cattle mar ket," which was drunk with every demonstration of respect, Mr. FAULKNER rose, and, in the absence of Mr. Perkins, begged leave to return thanks in his name. He assured the meeting that Mr. Perkins was a man above all personal vanity, and in the present undertaking he was influenced by motives far removed from ostentation or desire of personal gain. His sole object was a philanthropic wish, not only to benefit his fellow creatures, but to ex tend the same feeling of benevolence to that brute creation intended by Providence for man's use. Shuddering at the repetition of these horrors he had anxiously hoped that the corporation of the City of London, urged as they had been by the entreaties and arguments of the whole civilized com munity of the metropolis, would have long since applied the only rational remedy to the evil, by erecting a new market, as had been repeatedly sug gested, in the neighbourhood of London ; but find ing this plan every year more distant from adoption, he at last determined to erect such a mart hiniselc leaving, it to the :public and the Legislature to deal with his project as they might think it deserved. — (Cheers.) lie had now nearly completed his be nevolent and gigantic undertaking, at an ex pense little short of 100,0004, every farthing of which he had expended out of his own pocket, asking no man for a shilling, and thus freeing himself from the suspicion of intending to draw others into a speculation job, with a view to his own profit. It was Mr. Perkins's intention to apply to Parliament next session for its sanction to the new mart, and before that period he trusted every member would have an opportunity of per sonally witnessing the completion of his plans and forming his own estimate of their utility, lie ha I already received warns assurances of support, and al though aware that he had much opposition to en counter, yet he was persuaded, when his motives were appreciated, that he would have the counte nance and assistance of every enlightened and hu mane man in the kingdom.—(Cheery.) He (Mr. Faulkner) wat; unwilling to say more at present, and he was the more reserved in speaking of the high attributes of the gentleman to whom he al luded, because he well knew that nothing was more repugnant to his mind than an ostentatious display of philanthropy. lie was one of whom it might be said, " He did good by stealth, and blushed to find it fame."—(Loud cheers.) Several other gentlemen addressed the meeting, and the evening was spent with great harmony and conviviality. PUBLIC HEALTH. We feel much pleasure in giving publi c ity to the following letters, copies of which have been commu nicated from Lord Palmerston's office to the Diplo matic and Consular Agents of foreign countries now in London. These documents show that we are again free from cholera, which, even by its partial re-appearance in the metropolis this summer, had caused some uneasiness : COPY.) Council-office, Whitehall, Sept. 11, 1833. Sir,— The port of London and its vicinity having been declared on the 6th and 9th instant, by certificate of the Medical Inspectors, to be free from cholera, which had partially re-appeared in the course of July and August this year in some of the metropolitan districts, and a letter, of which a copy is enclosed, having been this clay written to the Customs ordering the issue of clean bills of health on and after the 19th instant should the public health continue in its present satisfactory state, 1 am directed by the Lords of the Council to request that you will move Lord Palmerston to communicate the same to the Foreign Diplomatic and Consular Agents now in London, for the information of their respective Governments. I am, Sir, &c. (Signed) C. C. GREVILLE. Sir George Shee, Bart., &c. &c. COT Y. Council office, Whitehall, Sept. 11, 1533. Sir,—The Medical InMpectors employed by Government to inquire into and report upon the state of the public heilth in the metropolis having declared London and its vicinity to be free from epidemic cholera by their certificates of the 6th and 9th instant, I am directed by the Lords of the Council to convey to you their Lordships' wish that bills of health of the annexed form only shall he issued by the Customs from the 19th instant, should the public health continue uninterrupted. And as it is certified on the text of the bill that epidemic cholera does not exist in this port, no note nor observation of any kind need be hereafter inserted, so long as the present exemption from that disease shall continue. Their Lordships, however, wish it to be clearly under stood, that though they consider the disease may be now looked upen as domicilated in the greater part of Europe in the same manner as the small pox, and may therefore be expected to re-appear occasionally, mingled with the common autumnal cholera of those places in which it has already prevailed, yet, with the view of keeping good faith with those countries where rigid precautions ate still kept up, their Lordships have deemed it necessary to continue the powers of the Cholera Prevent on Act, in order that they may maintain a mole strict watch over the public health, and he prepared to meet the disease, should it unfortu nately re-appear at any fu!ure time in a more dangerous form. Their Lordships trust that this assurance, together wi:h the total absence of all concealment on the subject of cholera in this country, will induce the agents of other countries not to found upon vague rumours aov Reports to their Governments calculated to interrupt the ordinary current of commercial intercourse.—l rem tin, &c., (Signed) C.
