It is not enough that a good har vest has enabled us to bridge over for a season the howling gulf which yawns for our commercial sys tem, under the name of the sliding-scale. These and other substit u t es may m i t i gate t h e pressure; occurring auspiciously as they do, they mitigate of course the discontent ; b u t amongst t hi n ki ng people —and in Lancashire we trust there are some few who think—they cannot, they ought not, to mitigate the undisguised contempt which is inseparable from a contemplation of the course taken by the Tori es on the questions relating to Bra z il. We will ven ture to say that so strong a case of national injury was never before made out against a party. It is proved to demonstration. Mr. Ellis is our witness for the last Sear; the Viscount Abrantes would bear testimony for the present. Sir R. Peel is plausible but this Brazilian indictment, speaking as it does with a distinctness of accusation never hitherto sur passed ; charging him, as it will do, before the as sembled Comm Ons, with sacrificing the best interests of the country to selfish party purposes, and the trade and commerce of the empire to objects purely fac tious ; this Brazilian indictment will bring the true merits of the Whig budget and the Tory intrigue un reservedly before the public, and the merchants of England will see more clearly than they hitherto have done, the enormous price they pay for the Peel Administration. It costs us, they will see, a conti nuance of the sliding-scale. It costs us a continuance of the con-tart struggle which ascendancy introduced into Ireland, and which ever and anon breaks out, with greater or less intensity, as the fires of the social volcano are inflamed or assuaged by circumstances. It costs us in France obsequiousness to a Minister who does not ratify his treaties—who, alone, of mo dern statesmen, holds his head aloft, and assumes the privileges of conventional equality with diplomatists of other countries, without the chivalry of standing or falling by his acts. We have a great respect for M. Guizot—his industrious life, his emi nence in literature, the general firmness and fixity of his public life, entitle him to much consideration at our hands ; but really lie ought to ratify his treaties. No one knows Vattel better; he is deeply read in Grotius and in Puffendorf; there is not a page in the " Law of Nations" with which he is not conversant ; but we defy him to show a precedent more fatal to diplomatic intercourse than that which he has esta blished; and we firmly believe that had Lord Pal merston been in power, the Crown of England would have been saved from the indignity, and the cause of humanity would not have suffered so serious a dis couragement Last year Ministers introduced a Bill for the admission of free sugar; but upon discovering that the favoured-nation clause would let in the sugars of Louisiana, and some other districts, the moral principle gave way, the fixity of their scruples disappeared, Mr. Gladstone took again to his Igna tiox Loyola, and slave-grown sugar can come in. When Lord Sandon moved his amendment, fixed principles and a settled antipathy to slave productions were the order of the day. Gentlemen who have learned their emancipation lessons since the death of Wilberforce presumed to lecture the associates of that venerable man. The son of Mr. Gladstone re hearsed homilies on anti-slavery which would have driven the old planter into hysterics ten years ago. Sir R. Peel, who had never raised a finger for the negro, but had borne their miseries with cheerful ness. for many years, of a sudden turned fanatical, and you would have thought that he had sent his card to Mr. Buxton to recruit the militia of philan thropy. But when the Sugar Bill of 1844 came be fore the Ihuse of Commons, fixed principles in sugar were placed upon the footing of fixed principles in Church and State ; and Sir R. Peel and Mr. Glad stone were as much prepared to vindicate the ano malous accidents of occasional incomings of slave sugar as they were to draw distinctions between coffee and muscovado. We have, therefore, much II and 3. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OP THIS DAT.

ACCOUNTS. the wilds of New Zealand are not every man's El Dorado, or that intesested " emigation agents" ire :not the appointed and trustworthy instruments for raising any given desert or solitude whatever into the most flourishing and civilised of peopled cities. We are not by any means sure, indeed, that the time when there will be a railway to the antipodes -nay not be nearer at hand than ordinary folks dream; but we despair, we must confess, of seeing :t. in our own days altogether realised. New Zea land in the back parlour is the only thing that can .lefeat the emigration jobbery ; and this is certainly a consummation, as yet, more to be wished than hoped for. European Princes, however, are already, as we read, making " shooting excursions to Ceylon and Bengal," and getting up tiger parties and ele phant battues to come off on the Indus or the Ganges, as quietly as people in old times used to arrange a grouse campaign for the Highlands of Scotland. "Royal visits" are already becoming terrifically enterprising. British India is no longer too distant for a European potentate's morning call ; and the sport which is to be expected on the Himalayas seems as if it would soon be a fashionable attraction in European Courts.

Why, could there he imagined a case less illus trative than this is of the extreme policy or practice of the emigration companies? This is merely in the ordinary line of business. This is only a specimen of that ordinary line of business which is, in our opi nion, so infinitely more disgraceful to the inventors and practisers of it, than it can possibly be uncompli mentary to the sagacity of its unfortunate dupes, that we hardly like even to introduce this latt:T element of consideration into the question at all. It were idle, indeed, to think that land in New Zealand is to the New Zealand Company in the same predicament as land in Middlesex or Surrey ; or that it is equally safe to deal with an emigration society for " warranted" commodities lying beyond the Straits of Malacca as for property situated only at the end of the Croydon Railway. But when people will think so,--why, then the Company say, " Whose fault is it that such belief is turned to account?" Infatuation indeed ! To imagine that an emigration company is to be trusted on the point, of all others in the world, of a bargain and sale of land! Why, for what other object is an emigration company formed at all, if not for this, of getting rid of supposed landed estates to would-be emigrants ? Our memorialist's case is undoubtedly a hard one. He was, unfortunately, guilty of be lieving in the New Zealand Company. This was his only fault. lie purchased of them, " a section of land," he tells us, "in what is termed the second series £1 1031 £2 0 71 £2 1531 £1 1 $ 1 Xi 3 9 An.

TO EMIGRANTS, TO THIS AUSTRALASIAN COLONIES, assured for the whole of life, this Company offer the permission to proceed to, and reside in, any of those colonies without extra pro mium, and to pay their premiums there.

This was in August., 1839. Unfortunate man ! Deeply, indeed, did he atone for his single error. How great a punishment is involved in the making eon), pneehase" as his! A ~etieo, too r Poor deluded individual We wonder how much it was that he gave for his bar gain—how much was added to the price for his liberty of choice—how much fur the right of ranging through all the vast domains which the Company " might hereafter acquire." The memorialist does not himself say bow much he gave. " With the fullest confidence," he shortly says, he set out for New Zealand. He had no more idea that he could be imposed upon than if he had only had the Croydon Railway instead of a brace of tropics between *him self and his bargain. Innocent, unsuspecting crea ture! He went ! He went, and took his family with him ; but when he got to the antipodes he found, as most other people do ' that he and his were all precisely reversed ;—that he stood upon his head, instead of upon his heels, as he had expected ; and, that, among other wonderful transmutations, the "settle ments" of the New Zealand Company were "translated" also. The roguery, in short, came out. After two years' fruitless badgering with the Company's one " agent," the unhappy memorialist found, after all, that his magnificent right of choice was only a theory, and had practical existence nowhere save in the bureaux of the London Directory of the Company ; and after having been most effectually and completely " done" in every possible way, the unhappy man returned home in July, 1844, without either his family, his money, or his land, to memorialise (but in vain) the Colonial Secretary I Such is the unhappy fate of colonists who become such only on the speculation of screwing a bargain out of those whose express and only business it is to be bargained withal! Such is emigration in the hands of an emigration company-. This poor gentleman's case is evidently not a singular or by any means an uncommon one. It is a system. People are led over to our colonies—settlements are—it would be a mockery to say founded—but, settlements are crudely thrown out, or swelled to unwieldy numbers, merely and solely upon the ground of the single assumed fact—a " fact" which, as in this instance, often turns out to be entirely an assumption, and no fact at all —that unoccupied land is to be had in New Zealand or Canada, for which th ere are unoc cupied buyers here in ingland. The sole notion of colonisation seems to be, in the eyes of one class of politicians in this country, " Sell the land. The buyers will do the rest." So everything is thus left to take care of itself ; and the practical result is, that sometimes even the land, the sale of which was to be the great foundation of the whole, turns out to be a mere fiction and a sham, arid the intended colonist only a ruined and deluded dupe. Such is modern colonisation — such is the system which we have to compare with the great colonial developments of ancient Greece and Rome—with the communities which sprang into life and vigour at once, like Minerva armed from the head of Jove, full-grown and perfect, the worthy and in all respects complete imitation of the institutions and framework of the parent state. We recommend the contrast to the attentive consideration of Mr. Charles Buller. He has already signified that he is by no means blind to its existence; we think that the more it is considered, and the more public attention becomes fixed upon our modern methods of colonisation, the more remarkable will be found our inferiority in this point to the heathen empires of old. CHRONICLE.—The merchants of London are to entertain Sir Henry Pottinger at dinner to-mor row. He is to receive a similar mark of the estima tion in which his services are held by the merchants of Liverpool on Monday next. We trust that the town of Liverpool, in commemorating the services of Sir Henry Pottiager, will not forget those of Viscount Sandon. The first has opened the trade with China, the second has closed that with Brazil. Sir Henry Pottinger is distinguished for the magni tude of his benefits ; Viscount Sandon for the unex ampled extent of his destructiveness. To the arms of one, and to the faction of the other, we owe widely different results. Under the guidance of Lord Pal merston, the Baronet has enlarged the boundaries of British power; and, without the injustice and other questionable accompaniments of power which occa sionally detracted from their renown, has added, like a Hastings or a Clive, a new hemisphere to the com merce of Englishmen. The latter, under the guidance of Sir R. Peel, has obtained a notoriety scarcely less distinctive, and has placed himself on a par in com mercial mischievousness with the author of the sliding scale. It is but fair, then, that a town like Liverpool, which has so deep an interest in China and Brazil, should give some little indication of her gratitude to the diplomatist and also the statesman. The truth is, that, like the Ministers, they are in a fix. Nothing could be inure agreeable to them, as Tories, than to turn out the late Administration ; but nothing could he more disagreeable to all, except West Indians, than the loss of the extensive commerce with Brazil. It is not enough that we have refuge in guano, and have our shipping employed, in greater numbers than could have been believed three years ago, in the faith in their waist of fixity ; we cannot suppose they will lose the Brazils for the sake of an ounce weight of consistency. THE 'WEATHER. THE ACCIDENTS ON THE ICE, Sze: The slight fall of snow which took place during Sun day night did not have any material effect in diminish ing the severity of the frost which had previously existed. At seven o'clock yesterday morning the mercury in the thermometer at the Receiving-house, Hvde•park, stood as low as 24 ; at noon it had reached 27 degrees, and varied throughout the afternoon from that point to 29} up to six o'clock, when it rose to 32, the freezing point. The wind throughout the day continued blowing, though not severely, from the N.N.E. The Parks were, from an early hour, again thronged by respectably-dressed people. The ice on the Serpen tine and the round pond of Kensington-gardens had, in consequence of the continued frost during the night of Sunday, considerably improved in condition, but still in many parts it was exceedingly dangerous, and in no few instances were the services of the icemen called into re quisition. With the exception of several immersions, no accident of anything like a serious character occurred. It is computed that from 8,000 to 10,000 persons must have been on the Serpentine during the day. In the Regent's Park, although the snow which fell during the previous night rendered the surface of the ice on the ornamental waters, through its adhesion to it during the earlier part of the day, exceedingly dangerous, still the ice itself was found in excellent condition, and upwards of two inches and a half in thickness. Through. out the day this place was visited by several thousand persons. The only casualty which occurred was to a young gentleman, named Bingham, a medical student, residing in Maida Vale, Edgware-road, who, coming in violent collision with a gentleman who was skating in an opposite direction, was thrown down and received a severe fracture of the right thigh. Being in company with several friends, a cab was procured, and he was at once conveyed to his residence. Although the members of the Skating Club have not yet pitched their tent in this Park, a number of its members were observed, during the day, enjoying this healthful recreation. The spot selected by them was not, as usual, facing Sussex terrace,- but in the more secluded part of the ornamental water, near the Marquis of Hertford's villa. The number of persons on the lake of St. James's Park was limited, in consequence of the extreme in security of the ice ir man 7 places, owing to breakages made therein for the aquatic birds, and also on account of the accident which had taken place on Sunday. It is now feared that several persons were on that occa sion drowned. During the day the Humane Society's men have been employed in dragging, and what con firms this belief is, that three or four hats bave been found, and the reporter was informed that one of them had been identified by a female as belonging to her son. who had not been home since he went out on Sunday afternoon. Up to seven o'clock last evening, however, no bodies had been found. A NEW AND IMPORTANT EDITION OF THE SILENT FRIEND ON HUMAN FRAILTY.

B. Percy. The Leamington sta tio❑ is somewhat inconveniently placed at a dis tance of one mile from both Leamington and Warwick, and the fact of its being only a single line is probably attributable to the extortionate demands on the Company for land, which in some instances had to be purchased at 7001. and 8001. per acre. The principal part of the line runs through the estate of the Earl of Warwick and Lord Leigh, the latter of whom has had the family escut cheon engraved in very beautiful style in large granite characters in the front of one of the bridges. The first train to-day started from the Leamington station at twenty minutes past eight in the morning, its departure being witnessed by a large proportion of the population of the town, who continued during the day to throng the various avenues to the line, await ing the arrival and departure of the trains, which performed the distance (nine miles) in between eighteeen and twenty minutes. The event was cele brated by a public dinner of the inhabitants at the Regent, the principal hotel in the town, where about 100 gentlemen sat down to a sumptuous dinner pre pared by Messrs. Breach and Jeffry. Captain Mus grove, 'R.N., took the chair, supported by Dr. Jephson, Hon. Colonel Cathcart, Hon. W. Somer ville, Dr. Middleton, Rev. H. Harper, Captain Mor gan, Mr. Hanbury, Mr. Drinkwater, and several of the fashionable residents. Formerly the distance between Coventry and Leamington occupied about an hour and a half ; by rail the distance will be done in eighteen minutes. MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CITY, MONDAY EVENING. TIMES.--The plans for the 220 railways having been all sent in for the examination of the Board of Trade, the numerous parties interested in these undertakings are of course becoming anxious as to the fate of the various schemes. As yet it is not known whether the Board of Trade will reserve the expression of their opinion for the opening of Parliament, Or whether they will accept any plan for communicating their decisions at once. Many of the proprietors hope that the latter course will be adopted, considering that it will be very tedious to wait for three or four months before they learn the fate of their property. A letter addressed by the Board of Trade to the directors, informing them of their opinion, would probably be the most welcome form of communication. So great would be the weight of the Board of Trade in influencing Parliament, that if their approval is obtained, the projectors do not seem to anticipate any fatal obstacle on the part of the Legis lature, notwithstanding the ordeal of Committees. In support of the movement which is now making to obtain a repeal of the import duty on cotton wool, two tables have been published in the Glasgow Argus, show ing the competition of the British spinner with those of Europe and America. These tables contain the decimal series of yarns, from No. 10 to No. 105, but a notion of the results may be given by taking only the extreme numbers. The import duty amounts to 5-16ths of a penny, and 5 per cent. per lb., with 1-16th of a penny for duty on waste. In the first table, which shows the competition of our spinners with these of Europe, under No. 10 there appears 3.50 d. for cost of material, 101 as the per centage of pressure of duty on that cost, and 64 as the per centage of pressure of duty on the cost of the twist. Under No. 100, the figures to these three items are respectively 14d., ,2 per cent., and II- per cent. ; and hence the table shows that the pressure of the duty on the low numbers is unequal as compared with that on the high numbers. The cost of the cotton in the above calculation is estimated at the present market price in Great Britain. In the second table, which shows the competition with the American spinners, the cost of the cotton is estimated at the price of the port of shipment of America. Under No. 10, the cost of material is set down at 2.75 d., the per centage of pressure on material at 134, the per centage on cost of twist at 8 per cent. Under No. 100 these items are, re spectively, 13.25 d., 3 per cent., and l per cent. There is also 6-16ths of a penny per lb. paid by the British spinner, as extra freight and insurance, more than the American spinners. This, added to the duty, gives a pressure of 12-16ths per lb., and this pressure on raw material and on twist gives two additional items. The pressure on No. 10 is 27 per cent. on raw material, and 16 per cent. on twist ; while on No. 100 it is 6 per cent., and 24 per cent. CIIRONECLE.—We had lost sight of the proposed " Dunedin Bank" in Edinburgh. It has, however, been brought forward in a different, or at least modified, and judging from the programme of business proposed for the first meeting, which takes place on the 12th instant, apparently in a successful shape. It is now before the public as a Non-issuing Bank, and it is said that 200,0002 of the intended capital, all of which is to be paid up by instalments, has been already subscribed. Should this bank be established, it will form quite a new feature in the history of Scotch banking. Much pains seems to have been bestowed by its promoters in the preparation of the plan and details, amongst which we observe it is intended to reduce the time for regulating the exchange between Edinburgh and London to eleven days, and to make advances on the security of wholesale warehouse stocks and bales of goods above a certain value. SUN.—English Stocks have gone up again this afternoon Consols haring attained the high price of 1004 4 for the opening, without the dividend. Exchequer Bills were 58s. premium ; and New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. remained firm at 103.

The great scullers' contest between William Robins, of Horsleydown, and Thomas Coombes, of l'Aillbanl4 came off yesterday, and, had it taken place at any thing like a seasonable period, would, no doubt, have proved highly attractive. Notwithstanding the in clemency of the weather, Messrs. Chapman, Bump stead, Esrnshaw, and other members of the great aquatic clubs, with a tolerable sprinkling of general company, were present to witness it, and accompa nied the men throughout the entite distance. The race was for 101. aside, and the distance from West minster to Putney, with tide. Coombes is the brother of the champion, and, under his very.able training end tuition, has, during the past three or four sea sons, distinguished himself as an oarsman and sculler, more particulrrly in a race amongst picked men for the iron steam-boat sovereigns. Robins is but little known to the public, his principal performance being an oars' wager with Lett, in which they won the Duke of Buccleuch's purse last season. Both men have been in severe training for the present contest, and a first-rate exhibition was expected, but in this the public were disappointed, it being one of the most uneven runaway races on record. The men made their appearance at half-past twelve, at Westminster bridge, when Mr. Bumpstead having consented to be referee, they went to their stations—Coombes, who had won the choice, to a pier near the centre, on the Middlesex side, and his opponent to the next on the south side. The start was taken evenly and well ; but before they had cleared the new Houses of Par liament, Robins had almost drawn his boat clear of his adversary, and, at the horseferry, was a full length a-head. Coombes laboured hard to obtain the first place, but from this moment to the termination of the race never had a shadow of chance. Robins was two lengths a-head at Vauxhall, eight or ten at Batter sea, and went through Putney-bridge the winner by upwards of two hundred and fifty yards. Robins has considerably the advantage of his opponent in weight ; but his rowing of yesterday shows- that he will be a very powerful antagonist to any first-Tate man. SIB Usual' POTTINGEIL—NearIy the whole of the tickets for the Liverpool banquet to Sir Henry Pot tinger have been sold off, and the subscriptions fur the Liverpool testimonial to the distinguished Baronet are on the increase. Accommodation can only be afforded at the banquet for 392 gentlemen. The subscriptions for the testimonial exceed 1,0001. In Manchester the subscription exceeds 2,350/., and tho banquet in that town is fixed for the 20th instant. The Mayor of 'Man chester will preside on the occasion. A suggestion has been thrown out that the whole of the funds collected in London, Liverpool, and Manchester should be united, with the view of presenting Sir Henry with a testi monial of surpassing magnificence ; but we believe it is a suggestion not very likely to be adopted.—Liverpool Albion. The two leading authorities, the Senate and College of Elders, of liamhurgh, have declared themselves in favour of the e mancipation of the Israelites. The rea• son assigned for this measure is, principally, the im mense sacrifices which the Hamburgh Jews have made for the relief of the numerous victims of the great fire of May, lii4a, ANNUITIES, Annuitants participate In the profits of the Company, and receive a rate of annuity much more favourable than CUM be granted by any Company making Its investments wholly in England.

ELSLEY, M.A. A New Edition, revised and corrected by R. WALKER, M.A., Lincoln College, Oxford. The following are the advantages which this Improved edition pos sesses over its predecessors. While the Editor has given all the necessary references to those Commentators whose opinions are cited in the work, he has carendly avoliied the repetition of names which are needle sly produced often in two or three parts of the same quo tation—a tautology which has been felt as a source of annoyance and confusion, rather than of assistance, to the inquiring student. Neither has ho perpetuated the accumulating errata of a series of former edi tions, each of which, in passing through the press without any parti cular critical revision, has generally added its own quota to the fit iltw mass but he has beStowed the utmost pains to impart a character of correctness to all the scriptural references, as well as to the Hebrew and Greek quotations. The vowel points have in every instance been added to the biblical Hebrew, a practice not required in passages from the Rabbinical writers. Thus, "while a consider able advantage has been gained in point of compression, it is hoped nothing has been lost in general utility." Oxford: printed by J.

That the announcement, therefore, of an historical romance bi longing to that period, and bearing the title of " THE PALAIS ROYAL," should have excited unusual curiosity, was not to be wondered at ; and the publication of the work has not disappointed the expectations it raised. The principal characters that figure in it are among the most remarkable of their age and country. Some of them, such as Conde—le grand Cond6—Mazarin, De Retz, and Tun nne—amongst the most remarkable of modern times ; and the secondary ones, such as Anne of Austria, the Duchess de Chevreuse, the Duke of Beau fort, the Duke of Orleans, &c. &c., are perhaps still more fitted than the it greater contemporaries for the purposes of the novelist. The novel is replete with spirited and stirring pictures of the times and the events which have given it birth, and it will be read with eager interest wherever works of this nature find their way. The inhabitants of Preston-street were startled on Tuesday evening by a flock of stormy petrels alighting on theyoofs of their houses, where they continued during the night to utter their shrill and doleful cry, as though in apprehension of some great calamity.

LEAMINGTON, MONDAY EVENING.—To - day this line, connecting Coventry, Kenilworth, Leamington, and Warwick, by means of the London and Birming ham Railway, with the metropolis, was opened. The line is about nine miles long, and 120 from town, being within four hours journey of the metropolis. It has been constructed under the superintendence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, is what is technically called a single line, has cost 170,0001., and has taken 18 months to complete. On Monday last the Directors of the London and Birmingham made an experimental trip over it, accompanied by Major-General Pasley, the Government Inspector of Railways, starting by the six o'clock, A.M., train from London, and after exa mining the most important points upon the line, reeched Leamington at twelve, and partook of a cold collation. They returned by special train to town, General Pasley expressing himself highly satisfied with the works and general engineering. One of the main advantages of this extension will be the facilities it will confer on the inhabitants of the southern dis tricts of Warwickshire for the economical supply of coals. The line is of a singular construction, being a continued series of ascents and descents, form ing an undulating surface from terminus to terminus. Kenilworth, the only station between Coventry and Leamington, is five miles from the former, and three and three-quarters from the latter, is situated on the outskirts of the town, and within a stone's throw of the castle. It is built of Kenilworth stone. The Leamington station is ele gantly constructed in the Roman Doric style, and is situate in the main road between Leamington and Warwick, at a place called Emscott, in the parish of Millverton. A continued series of cuttings and embankments occur throughout the distance. The branch diverges, by a sharp curve, out of the main line at Coventry, and preserves an undulatory course to Leamington, a perpetual impetus being kept up between the ascents and descents. One of the prin. cipal works is that of the Milburn viaduct, prettily situated in the centre of a valley, and composed of seventeen arches of red brick faced with stone. Then follows a timber bridge of fifty feet span, uniting the roads of Leek-Wootton, Hill-Wootton, and Stoneleigh, with Guy's Cliffe—so named after the celebrated Elul of Warwick, Mc MOP viadu ct, e , 47 ' idi '~ ( 7 ~~ cttiz e • • SANITARY IMPROVEMENTS IN MANCHESTER. (From the Manchester Times.) A few months ago an unanimous resolution was passed by the Town Council of Manchester, recom mending the Improvement Committee to apply a portion of the very ample funds accruing from the Gas Works, the property of the corporation, to the purpose of open s ing out the ends of close courts and alleys, so as to, secure a thorough ventilation of the places in which the working classes reside. In the discussion which took place on the motion, it was stated, from the evidence of Dr. Southwood Smith, Mr. P. Holland, and a number of other gentlemen of high professional reputation, that the rate of mortality in ill-paved, ill-drained, and ill-ventilated alleys and courts was very much beyond the general average, and nearly double the rate that prevailed in first-class streets, the re sidences of persons whose circumstances enabled them to choose their locality. It was also stated, to show the practicability of a great sanitary improvement, that in a great number of in stances the removal of a few small cottages here and there, and the pulling down of walls and sheds, which t s h e i r i o a u ra g t i e l d o u c t o court from which t ttccuorurretn, current d o , would give some le v som n e air, i r h : g i hitherto nes, excluded, might be directed. The Improvement Committee, entering zealously into the spirit of the Council's recommendation, ap pointed a sub Committee to the arduous task of per sonally visiting all the more closely-built districts of this closely-built town, to ascertain v. here sani tary improvements were required, and how they might be made. The evidence, during their fiist two or three days' investigation, presented to their senses of sight and smell, but too strongly corroborated the truth of the statements made by the medical autho rities quoted. The reading of their report to the Ge neral Council, from which the following is an ex tract, was heard with deep interest : " No. 5 is a range of courts of irregular width, the approaches to which are from Long .Millgate throe ;h narrow entries. These courts are crowded aith inha bitants living, or, more properly speaking, confined in abodes which are not only destitute of every arrange ment conducive to comfort and health, but surrounded by a mass of filth sufficient to appal the mind of any one accustomed to the comforts arising from clean and airy dwellings. Your Committee cannot refrain from expressing their surprise that the malaria engen dered in these localities, and which is so fatal to the poor people living in them, has not proved, more, extensively disastrous in the surrounding neighbour- hoods. Your Committee are of opinion that the whole of these courts might be ventilated by the formation of a street from Miller-street to I3Arlow's court running along the top of the courts, and w hick would, at the same time, very much facilitate the intercourse of the inhabitants ; and although the dis tance is considerable, the expense would be compara tively trifling, as, with the exception of two or three small buildings, the proposed street would run through yards separated simply by walls." In these earlier investigations, it was seen that, al though a great deal might be done in effecting better circulation by the simple removal of obstructions, such as cottages built across the end of a narrow street, or pig -styes and privies separating one court from another, it was of nearly equal importance that, the aid of the Paving and Sewering and the Nuisance Committees should be called in; and a further course of visits to other parts of the town, brought the con viction, that unless these Committees put forth all the powers invested in them by the late Police Act. vigorously, and we may almost say relentlessly, the work of sanitary reform would be not one fourth done. In the streets running from Queen -street, and between that street and Alport-town, there seems to have been originally a good back yard, or small back garden, to each house ; but within the last twenty or thirty years, those vards or gardens have all been built upon, and so closely that spaces of only from four to six feet width has been left for passage, light, and air ; and the only entrance from the street to each such closely crammed court is through the lobby of the front house, both front and back door being taken from the hinges to allow ingress and egress, while almost every room in the front tenement is occupied by a distinct family. To make this horrible state of things still more horrible, most of the courts are unpaved and undrained, with the filth and the water thrown out from the houses, lying in hollow puddles, offensive alike to the eye and the nostrils, and sending their pestilential effluvia right into the doors that open upon the abomination—and all this aggravated by pig-styes and privies poisoning the air which the wretched inhabitants are compelled to breathe ! It is difficult to suggest an effectual remedy in such cases. Poor people must have cheap dwelling houses, and they must live near their place of work, To pull down the whole and to rebuild with airiest the space would only be to dislodge two thirds of the population to the immediate over crowding of some neighbouring locality ; and to throw ventilating open ings between court and court, where all is one mass of buildings, is impossible. The first sight of this locality made the visitors almost hopeless of e ff ec ti ng any good; Mit tnere were, nere and there, wnere considerate landlord had possession, eircumstanaes which again raised their hopes. When flags hail been put down and a channel had been made, with a well kept grid over a sewer, there was an approach to an appearance of snugness and comfort, and in such places it was almost invariably seen that the houses were kept neat and clean, and that the in habitants were decent and tidy in their appearance. It was felt that what had been done voluntarily in some cases should be effected compulsorily in all. It will be seen from the report of last Wednesday's Council meeting that a new Committee has been ap pointed, consisting of members from the I.mprove ment, Paving and Sewering, and the Nuisance Com mittees; and we presume that their duty will be to facilitate the exercise of powers which will be obtained by a special Act, of which the Parliamentary notices have been given, for effecting sanitary im provements. They will bring before the Improve ment Committee every case in which, by the pur chase amid removal of obstructing buildings, a better ventilation can be secured; they will apprise the Paving and Sewering Committee of every case where draining and flagging are required; they will ask of the Nuisance Committee to prevent the accumulation of filth; and they will compel present owners to re move every nuisance-producing building, and pre vent any future such erection, while they will exact the provision of all the necessary conveniences that decency requires. In carrying out such powers there will be some cases of individual hardship, and consequently some outcry ; but the duty of the Council will be to go en firmly and determinedly, keeping in mind that though, in a certain sense, every man may do what he likes with his own, he is not to do so to the injury of his neighbour. It is in the power of the working classes, for whose health and comfort these improvements are to be made, greatly to aid the Council in completing its beneficent design. In every instance where they have a choice of residence let them choose it in places which are well paved and drained. Let them tell their landlords that they are determined thus to choose. Let them say, "We will not live in bad health, and sacrifice one-half the term of our natural existence, merely because you are stupid enough not to see that you would be promoting your own interest by making our abodes more healthful," In all inspections of the localities in which the poor reside, the visitor receives increased conviction of the necessity of an abundant supply of water. The English are essentially a cleanly people; but the virtue—for it is a virtue, and a great one—of clean liness cannot be exercised under present arrange ments. The poor ought to have double, aye, triple or quadruple their present supply of water, and we do think it might be contrived that they should have it, The Council cannot supply them with sufficient food, for the deficiency there is the work of a crue l, im politic, and selfish legislation ; but it may give them an increased supply of those other essential neces. saries of life, light, air, and water. INVERNESS AND PERTH RAILWAY.—A tneeting of the sub-Committee was held yesterday, in the Ex change Rooms here (Mackintosh of Mackintosh in the chair). to receive the interim report of the en gineer on the progress of the survey. Draft plans and sections of the line were submitted by Mr. Mitchell— in a complete state, from the River Nairn to the county march betwixt Inverness and Perthshire% and in sections of the line thence to I)unkeld. The result of these details was most satisfactory, show ing that, notwithstanding the elevation of the country through which the line would pass, the gradients are unexpectedly favourable. The progress of the survey through the Athol estates has been unfortu nately stopped for the present by Lord Glenlyon ; but, from the explanations given by Mr. Mitchell and the sub-Committee, it is hoped his Lordship's objections will be removed. Mr. Mitchell stated that if the weather keeps open he is immediately to proceed with the survey of the branch line from Inverness to Elgin. The sub- Committee passed a resolution, expressive of their regret at being deprived of Lord Glenlyon's countenance tied, co-operation in this great public undertaking, an d directed application to be made to him that ho may be pleased to grant the desired facilities. They further ordered the subscriptions for the necessary outlays to be forthwith called in and published; and the thanks of the meeting being voted to the Chairman, for his conduct in the chair, the meeting adjourned,—lnvernesN Courier, Wednesday.
