MOSES & SON is in all senses suitable for the change —its strength and neatness, its style and workmanship, its quality and price, still leading onward, under the attention and patronage of the Public. A GUIDE TO PURCHASERS. OVERCOATS, in several hundreds of styles, comprehending speci mens of the Tailoring art which have no counterpart in the Trade. These are novel and gentlemanly costume —they are made to Fit with correctness and comfort—they are cut from superior materials, and finished in the best and firmest way—they are sold at much lower prices than are charged elsewhere, and have had more pa tronage than any previously manufactured. SPORTING DRESS, proof against cold, damp, And wet—is easy in all exercises—is quality is proved superior to any as yet produced, and it is charged according to E. MOSES & SON'S uniform low scale of prices. MECHANICS WORKING DRESS, serviceable, warm, and comfortable, and free from every imperfection which appears in working clothing manufactured by others. The LADIES, whose judgment in HOSIERY, FURS, and cloth ing for themselves and children cannot be doubted, are politely re quested to it spect the novel Stock of Goods offered at the Establish ment of E. MOSES & SON. The prices in all articles are lower than at any house in the world. EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA. All emigrants find London the best port for embarkation to the land of golden realities. All Emigrants have likewise found E. MOSES & SON'S OUTFITS the most advantageous, and thosewho procured them previous to their voyage, have had more comfort and success than any of their compeers ; Indeed, the benefits they have reaped in the quality and price of the goods are said to have equalled the most fortunate "diggings." To supply all Emigrants with OUTFITS and CLOTHING. with every other requisite, E. MOSES & SON keep a separate depart ment in these great Business Establishments, where the best and cheapest goods can be selected by all classes now intending to emigrate. Ship sailing information, anal full lists of Outfits for ladies and gentlemen, may be had on application, or post free, to any part of the kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 84, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

Aqua se habia Espanol • MEDICAL AD POUT AN ON THE SECR MATURITY.ETINFIRMITIES OF 'YD IN • DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 67, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Slatricelated Member of the Universily of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apotheca ries' Hall, London, &c., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervou Marri s Debility, various terms of Insanity, Unhappy habi t s, to ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its cowequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rev arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters mast contain the fee of 11., and advice and medicines can be forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF-PRESERVATION.", A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage, and Nervouk and Genera tive Debility, illustrated by fifty coloured engravings, and des cribing in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in .the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s Gd, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

PITMEN'S STRIKE AND RIOT.—On Thursday morning, at a n early hour, a serious riot took place at Wallsend Colliery, in consequence of the refusal of the owners to accede to an advance of wages claimed by the men. On the previous day there was a general strike, and at one o'clock on Thursday morning Mr. Clark, the viewer, and Mr. Atkinson, the under viewer, accompanied by several of the men, proceeded to the pit for the purpose of trying topece some of . the coal hewers to suddenly to work. near the pit-mouth they were attacked by 60 or 70 men and lads, all of whom were armed with picks, sticks, and staves. They were all disguised in wom en's clothes, and wore masks and had staves. There w as a very . severe stru g gle, which Atkinsonan hour,e escaped, but not until and ultimately Mr. a l c a l s a t r e k d uapnwdarmdsr.of half they were severely injured, Mr. Clark being cut on the eyes and temples, and Mr. Atkinson injured in the back. On the following day a body of police from Newcastle were stationed at the colliery, and they succeeded in preventing a further breach of the peace. On Friday, 16 men consented to return to their work, and were accompanied down the p it b y t h e police, who pro tected them from the assaults of their fellow-workmen. The remainder of the men, n early 100 in number, still con tinue on strike. It is said thast about 12 months agothe wages of the men were reduced one Id. per ton, a promise being held out that when prices improved the same wages as heretofore would be paid. Prices having re cently risen, the old wages were demanded and refused, and hence the present strike and riot. On Friday after noon six men, named Thomas Davison, Peter Elliot, Matthew Robson, William Thornton, John Giles, and Robert Harrison were apprehended on suspicion of being concerned in the riot, and will undergo an exami nation before the county magistrates next week.

TaOS. DAgIN• SAMUEL HAYNE. W. F. A: DELANE. Upon the motion of Mr. EL HALL, the chairman of the improvement committee, the. report which was brought up the last day , of meeting n ass read. The CHAIRMAN of the irerproventent committee (Mr. Hall), in moving the adoption of the report of the com mittee, said that he could plainly perceive, from the state of public feeling upon the subject before . the Court, that . nothing would be well done before the whole of the matter as to the Fleet-valley question was disposed of. He hoped, therefore, that they would agree with the report, which step would tend to promote further proceedings in that assembly. The report had been care fully considered by the committee, for a long time they had had the subject under consideration, and they were convinced, from all they had selln of the matter, that it would be impossible to carry deb all the views of the projector without an immense amount of outlay, while the proposed new street to Coppice-row might be ef fected with great benefit to the citizens, under the powers of the new act of Parliament, with a much smaller ex penditure of capital. The motion—" To agree with the committee in their report," having been seconded, Mr. DAKIN, in a speech of considerable power, sup ported the memorial. He instanced in the course of his speech the many advantages • which the inhabitants of the city or London would especially receive from the establishment of a central. terminus in the locality named, supporting his opinion . by letters he had received from some of the most eminent persons . in the city, for the insertion of which we regret we have not space. He concluded his address amidst loud cheers, finishing with the remark that the plan now proposed was only an instal ment of what was intended, it being the determination of the promoters of the scheme to complete the whole of the originar design whenever it might be the wish of the corporation to have it carried out. He contended, also, that it was not possible for the corporation to carry out their project as to the new street to Coppice-row upon the low level, and that if it were ever done, a much larger sum than that named would be necessary. Mr. ANDERTON supported the proposition for the in troduction of the railway into Victoria-street. He ad. mitted that his opinions with regard to the railway ter mini into the City had undergone some change, but the circumstances of the case in this instance were very dif ferent from the proposals some years ago, to bring the Blackwall into Fenchnrch-street and the Minories. He would therefore move that the report do lie on the table. Mr. ROSE seconded the amendment. He thought the scheme before them, which appeared in the memorial of the directors of the City Railway Terminus Company, I "in relation to the proposed opposition of the corpora tion to their bill," was one of the grandest he had ever witnessed. He could introduce a variety of facts to show the want of judgment on the part of the corpora tion on former occasions, and he thought that if they opposed the present application, they would prove their adhesion to antiquated prejudices to the injury of their fellow-citizens. He agreed with Mr. Dakin, that it I would be perfect folly for the committee to attempt to form their extension of Victoria-street to Coppice-row upon the low level. He gladly seconded the amend ment, because as they were entrusted with large funds, on the part of the corporation, they ought to see them expended for the good of the citizens at large. Deputy BENNOCH warmly advocated the plan for a central terminus. He showed from a reference to facts the evils which had arisen from the neglect on the part of corporate and other authorities in provincial towns and cities, to the inhabitants at large, and to commerce in particular. He instanced the fact that Manchester was gaining largely in trade since a central terminus had been established there—that in Nottingham, where the autho rities had resisted the introduction of the railway, the population had decreased—while in conse quence of its having been adopted at Derby, the numbers had increased to double the number. He also named the important places—Leeds, Edinborough, New castle, and other influential cities and. boroughs, in order to show the benefits which had arisen from such a medium of communication, when placed either in the centre of a locality, or the heart of a town or city. If Mr. Ander ton would permit him, he (Mr. Bennoch) would propose, instead of his (Mr. Anderton f s) amendment, one which he thought would be likely to reconcile all the conflict ing elements in the Court upon the subject. That amendment was as follows :—" That the report of the Improvement Committee be referred back to that Com mittee, with instructions to confer with Government on the whole of the projected improvement in Holborn valley and Farringdon-street, in order to ascertain if Government will co-operate with the Corporation in ac complishing the whole of the plan proposed, and that, in the meantime, the progress of the bill nor before Par liament be suspended." Mr. ANDERTON readily agreed to substitute Mr. Bennoch's amendment for his own, and begged leave to second it. Mr. BL ARE supported the new amendment, as did also ' Mr. Alderman LAWRENCE, in a speech full of power, and replete with interesting facts. Mr. NORRIS, on the other side, denounced the whole of the proposal of the City Railway Terminus scheme in unmeasured terms, and at its close he was met with .continued cheering. At this stage of the debate, Mr. CHARLES GILPIN rose and said—My Lord Mayor, I am anxious of expressing my opinion upon the matter before the court, but I rise for the purpose of proposing that this debate be adjourned. (Cries of " No, no.") My lord, I have two reasons for this course. In the first place, I believe several parties are desirous of ex pressing their opinions upon the subject ; and in the second I have a more serious reason—one of our body, I hear, has suddenly died—l mean, Mr. Lart, one of the members for . the Ward of Cripplegate Within. My lord, I move the adjournment of the court. Mr. DE JERSEY seconded the motion. Carried unanimously, the numerous assembly depart ing from the busy scene in mournful silence. The debate was adjourned to Thursday next. JAMES BURCHELL. THOS. LAWRENCE. WM. TAYLER. GEORGE VIRTUE. WM. WHITE, jun. JAS. WAGSTAFF." NOSH COLLIER, Secretary. 45, Cheapside. CITY RAILWAY TERMINUS. THE CITY RAILWAY TERMINUS COMPANY. On Tuesday the attention of the Court of Common Council was particularly called to the following memo rial, of the undersigned directors of the City Railway Terminus Company : " That their company was established to carry into exe cution a project recommended by the Improvement Com mittee of your Council, i n th e mon th o f December, 1845, again recommended by th e Fl ee t- va ll e y Improvement Committee, in January, 1852 , an d on b o th occasions ap proved by the,COurt of CommonCommonCouncil. . "Your memorialists learned, with regret, in Decem ber laif, that the Iniprolement Committee had entered a dissent against the company's bill in Parliament, in con seqUence of its provisions not embracing the entire improve ment§ originally proposed, but though their desire to ex tend their • undertaking in this respect was 3 matter of public notoriety, your memorialists restricted the opera tions of the company, in its commencement, to the con struction of the railway north of Holborn-valley, for reasons which they have already explained to the Improvement Committee, and to afford an opportunity of removing the ob jections of those members and officers of the Corporation who, in 1846, expressed a decided opinion, that although railways might be allowed to enter the precincts of the City, yet there was a line of demarcation that should not be overstepped—a line nearly coincident with the limits of the railway described in the plans at present submitted to Parliament. " Your memorialists readily availed themselves of the invitation of the Improvement Committee to submit to them explanations, to remove whatever doubts appeared to embarrass their minds, and they beg to refer the Com mon Council to that communication. The deputation of directors further assured the committee, that they would be ready to offer any additional explanation which the committee ini,ght desire,k . tolear up any points un noticed in tho - directore communication ; but .when the de putation expressed their desire to enter into negotiations with the committee respecting the means by which the pro posed public improvements were to be carried into effect, the chairman of the committee informed the deputation, that the committee was not authorised to enter into any negotiation with the company, and must not be taken to express any views respecting the undertaking. To obviate any undue haste in dealing with interests of such importance, to allow ample time to correct effectually ad verse impressions, should they still be entertained, and for adjusting differences of opinion by amicable negotiation, the company's solicitor undertook to have the second read ing of the bill postponed (which has since been done) to the 14th of March next • but the committee having proceeded to a report, without this company being favoured with any further opportunity of communicating with them, your memorialists now beg to submit to the Common Council such explanations of the project as they trust will correct any mis-apprehension still existing, and they at the same time announce their assurance, that they are pre pared to acquiesce in whatever provisions may be reason ably suggested in the bill to insure ,the best execution of the present limited plan, and to guarantee its extension to the whole design as soon as its details and the terms of co operation are settled and sanctioned by the Corporation. "It is now objected to this company's project, that the Royal Railway Commission, in 1816, recommended that no railway then projected north of the Thames should be permitted to come within the boundary line of the Edg ware-road, from Oxford-street to the New-road, and of the New-road and City-road to Finsbury-square, and of Bishopsgate-street, but that a railway round the metropolis would be preferable ; first, with a view to external defence, because it would be better to convey troops and stores round the , outside than through a populous part of the metropolis ; secondly, because railway viaducts in crowded situations are calculated to impede that improvement ; thirdly, because goods and passenger stations in narrow and crowded streets might cause obstruction to the thoroughfares. Whether these objections applied to the company's project, when they were at that time suggested, need not now be discussed ; but it may be confidently asserted, that they cannot now have the slightest weight ; for, first, the circular railway, viz., the East and West India Docks and Willesden Junctions, is nearly constructed, and will, it is hoped, be completed in time for the military purposes for which it may be required,: and it may be here observed that the conveyance of passen gers in a circle several miles broad around London will at no time facilitate their speedy arrival at its centre ; secondly, the projected railway, as shown in the model open for public inspection at the company's offices, is much below the level of the streets, and stands distinguished from all other lines by the peculiarity of being constructed in the only part of London where the viaduct over the railway is of itself the greatest direct improvement which the citizens and inhabitants of London have long desired to see accomplished. Thirdly, the Royal Commissioners never appear to have contemplated the dif ference betwqpn frequent small twins, at intervals of a few minutes each, conveying comparitively but few passengers, and the enormous trains, which reach London at long inter vals, bearing the traffic and passengers of several hundred miles, which would remain at the existing stations, sending in only a portion for this particular locality, and that, probably, by successive trains. But the arrangements pro poised by the company are not even open to objection with the greatest extension of traf f ic. The stations would be at the sides of • nne of the longest itnd: widest streets in the , kingdom, with inlets and outlets in eve direction, and much traffic which now encumbers the streets, would be received into markets and warehouses at the sides of the railway, beneath the street, and redistributed by the same means. "The Corporation, recognising those views, have not merely discredited the Royal Commissioners' report, in twice approving the company's project, but equally with the Government, have entirely disregarded it, by permitting bills to pass through Parliament, with out opposition, which allow the traffic of the London and North-Western, and the Great Western, • and the Eastern Counties Railways, of the New Tilbury, the Dock Junction, and the North oolwich lines, to be conveyed altogether by a narrow railway to a narrow station in the heart of the narrowest streets and lanes in one of the most crowded districts of the city. A bill for another, com mencing under circumstances totally opposite, and most favourable, which will relieve the city of till's obstruction, cannot, then, call for opposition, but rather for the zealous support of the city of London. (Cheers.) " In recent times, the chief cities of England have been endeavouring to correct the evils arising from the bygone idea of keeping termini at a distance from the heart of their cities. The Town Council of Birmingham has co-operated to construct great stations, and - to cant great lines through the centre of the town. The Royal Commissioners themselves seem to have doubted the soundness of their own conclusions when they suggested that, if railways should be ultimately allowed within the circle, they prescribed it should be in continuation of street improvements, in a manner which the company desires to effect by its bill, and that the costs should be borne in just proportions hetweenthe localities to be benefited and the rail way companies. This the directors have endeavoured to ad just with the advice and assistance of an architect, whose re port ()xi the subject they beg to submit to the consideration of the Common Council. It will explain the details of the project, and elucidate the advant ages w hich the Cor poration and the citizens would derive from the extensive railway works and grand street improvements, approved equally by themselves and the country, and advocated by the public press. The directors of this company are not railway speculators, but for the most part men of business, connected with the city of London, either by corporate or commercial ties, who, having carefully examined into the project, accepted their trust at the hands of a large body of their fellow-citizens. 'Being convinced of the advantages it would secure to the city of London, the direc tors desire to proceed, with all deference to the Corporation, in the manner most conducive to its interests, consistently with the obligations they owe to their shareholders, whom they are bound to protect, and hitherto they have been guided by what they believed to be the views and wishes of the Corporation of London ; the directors have pledged themselves to the shareholders not to enter into any contest with the City, and though they have thereby divested their undertaking of an ordinary railway character, and deprived themselves of much present support, which they believe would otherwise have been accorded different mone tary and railway interests, they have secured a large and sufficient subscription contrast, and whenever the Corpo ration may relieve them of the existing state of doubt and suspense regarding its own intentions, they feel sure of pro curing whatever capital maybe required of them, as a company, to meet any engagements which the City may de sire them to undertake. The Common Council, however, will perceive, that a project of such detail, and so extensive as that proposal was, must necessarily be the subject of much ne gotiation, carried on on both sides in a cordial spirit of co operation, with an earnest desire to arrive at a successful issue, and that the directors trust that the Common Coun cil, adhering to their former views, will adopt the mea sures by which they may be speedily realised.. Your me . of their me morialists, presentor ial i s ts bi Tor thate e t s h p e e c e i e a m l p y asneye being then e i a n r e l e y rp passing e re t,e d may be better able to sustain its ground in these negotiations, whilst the work which they would then be enabled to un dertake, cannot retard, but must facilitate and expedite the improvements already commenced, as well as those in immediate contemplation, instead of a short section of a street, for years in a state of ruin and waste, being still left untouched, an impulse would be given to secure the completion of works tenfold greater in the time, which may otherwise pass away in prolonged a n d unprofitable dispute. Should the Common Council, however , now recede from its former opinions, abandon all idea of furth er improve ments,bn but dnirreweatnrid psi irretrievably commit itself to a Course which will evil of Holborn valley, the directors will remit their trust into the hands of the shareholders, leaving it to them to adopt their own course, whether they dissolved the company, or, connect ing themselves with powerful and independent interests, pursue a policy differing from that by which the directors have been guided. Such of your memorialists as are con nected with the Corporation will regret the loss of an op portunity of effecting long-desired improvements, under the most advantageous circumstances, and by the co-opera tion of a company recognising the superior authority, and offering to work in due subordination of the control of the Corporation ; but they will be freed from the respon sibility of leaving the City open to the attacks of those who maybe disposed to enter into a contest with it, and of those who may by the force of powerful private and public in terests, repudiating alike the assistance and authority of the Corporation, surmount its opposition. Should such a contest arise, it would not be forgotten that your memo rialists placed the interests of their company in the hands of the Common Council, and sought its co-operation with out avail. But your memorialists rather rely with con fidence on the wisdom of the Common Council to uphold all our consistency, and to adopt the course which will show that improvement in the city of London is not synonymous with the maintenance of exi s ti ng evils—but that it keeps pace with the increasing demands of society, to afford free access to its markets, facilities for trade, and the greatest measure of convenience far its inhabitants, and the public at large. " Your memorialists, therefore, pray that the Common. Council will be pleased to take measures to afford - the re quisite co-operation and support of We city of London, to ensure the bill now before Parliament p ass i ng into a with such modifications as the COMM= Council may deem EAST and WEST INDIA DOCK COMPANY.

Sir,—lt is scarcely to be credited that the Common Council of the City of London will so far stultify its past resolutions, as to countenance anything like serious oppo sition to the magnificent project of the new City Railway Terminus. But, nevertheless, it must be forgotten, that there is a small but active body in the corporation who cannot, by any means, reconcile their minds to the idea of modern social progress. Everything that promises improve ment upon a large, and really effective scale, is sure to meet their strenuous, and somewhat viru lent opposition. They seem thoroughly imbued with the spirit of the old- slow-coach times, and have, like wise, a few former grudges to remember. Sone of these gentlemen can neither forget nor forgive their defeat ,upon the question of the removal of that monster nuisance, Smithfield, with all its attendant horrors and abomina tions ; and also, in spite of their hostile prognostications, the successful reduction in the price of gas. But they are apt, likewise, to extend their resentful feelings to the per sons and plans of those who have succeeded in thwarting them on former occasions. It is from this party alone that the entire success of one of the greatest improvements ever contemplated in a modern city, is in any degree of danger. But they aro skilful to make up in litigious activity what they want in real power and numbers, and may therefore contrive, unless due vigilance be used, to curtail the pro ject of much of its grandeur and utility. Against this, the friends and promoters of the scheme should be especially on their guard. Upon the entire subject nothing could have been more to the point than the speech of Mr. Deputy Bennoch, in the Court of Common Council, as reported in your paper of this morning. With his usual sensible earnestness and practical wisdom, he appealed to facts, and cited the case of other large towns which had benefitted immensely, both as to trade and local improvement, by the introduction of railway termini into immediate contact with the chief centres of business and passenger traffic. In short, he dealt with the whole question as a man fully disposed to meet, and as it were anticipate the exigencies of the coming time. The project is doubtless a large one, but not greater than is absolutely required for the locality and the occasion. And the proper way is, as Mr. Bennoch's amendment suggests, to appeal to Government for such aid and encouragement as they, having regard to the extent and importance of the plan, may be able or inclined to bestow. For years the question of a viaduct at Holborn-hill has been the great and insurmountable difficulty of the City. An opportunity now presents itself such as may never oc cur again, of providin s a most complete and effectual re medy. At the same time the entire locality has been for years a worse than barren and useless waste, for want of some mode of adapting it to a really useful and beneficial purpose. Are the myriads of passengers from the north and the west, for all time to come, to be doomed to take the incovenient route of the Blackwall railway, some nine or ten miles out of the way, when three or four would suf fice to bring them to the Farringdon-street terminus. It would bo just as reasonable to insist upon all shipping for the future going round Cape Horn instead of by the lake of Nicaragua or the isthmus of Darien in order to reach the Pacific. The public in the City are deeply indebted to you, Sir, for the manner in which you uniformly advocate all the great and liberal measures brought forward from timo to time for their especial benefit. Your various papers and articles upon this interesting subject, have been of groat use in rivetting public attention upon it ; and if the Corpo ration will but heartily take up the question in the tone and spirit of Mr. Bennoch's amendment, final and complete success cannot fail to be the result.--I am, yours respect fully. A CITIZEN. City, Feb. 23, 1853. RUMOURED APPEARANCE OF Two FRENCH STEAMERS OFF THE COAST.—On Thursday last, considerable sensa tion was produced in Exmouth by the report, brought in by some fishermen, that they had noticed two French steamers off the bar. The object of these steamers ap pears to be to take the soundings of the port, as they are noticed to advance at dusk, and to retire at day light.--Enter Gl/4tatte. [PRIC E &D. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commissioners assembled' on Tuesday, for the purpose of transacting the general business. THE CITY SEWERS BUSINESS FOR THE . YEAR 1852. --THE LABOURS OF THE COMMISSION FOR THE LAST YEAR. The SURVEYOR laid before the Court his report of works performed during the year. It was of great length, was divided into 21 distinct heads, and gave an abstract of the various works executed by the Commis sion, and a general review of their proceedings. The following is an outline of the most important 39809 39819 SEWERS • During the year sewers had been constructed in 22 dif ferent places, their aggregate length amounting to 4,459 feet, or abont five-sixths of a mile. Most of them have been built in courts and poor localities, previously without sewers ; others in extension of sewers existing, in portions of the length of various streets, and the remainder intended for surface drainage only. The total length of sewers 'now existing within the City is about 49A miles. The total length of sewers within the City by the gradual abandon ment of the ancient sewers will, in future years, probably be nearly stationary at about 49 miles, and may be ex pected to diminish, rather than to increase, in their aggre gate length. I feel it to be my most imperative duty to draw your attention to the systematic usage of gulleys as the common receptacle of rubbish of every description, and regret to state that there has been no abatement of the practice, which, being unchecked, has, I imagine, induced the be lief amongst many of the poorer classes that a galley is a perfectly legitimate dustshoot. The surveyor proceeds to state that this evil can only be effectually overcome by the agency of the police, whose co-operation he begs the Court to procure as speedily as possible. HOUSE DRAINAGE. The total number of premises drained during the, year was 281. The approximate number of premises drained at the expiration of 1851 was 11,233. The total number of premises which may now therefore be said to be drained is 11,514, and undrained 4,786. The number of rainwater pipes which delivered dirty or offensive water upon the public ways, and which have been connected by new drains directly with the sewer, is 17, and 144 others have been connected with the existing house drains. In all cases where a house is drained, the emptying and filling up of the cesspool is the preliminary operation, and the number of house drains annually constructed will therefore coincide nearly with the number of cesspools destroyed. No com plete survey of the condition of every house within the City having been made, the precise number undrained cannot I be given, but my impression is, that the actual number of houses undrained does not exceed 2,000, and perhaps riot 1,500. The inspectors, indeed, who have now had long acquaintance with their respective districts, consider even the latter an exaggeration of the reality. The surveyor here describes the advantage of keeping a record of the houses drained, as well as plans of their drain age, and indicates the extent of these advantages by point ing out the inconvenience arising from the ignorance of the direction, depth, &c., respecting the drains in many neigh bourhoods. WATER SUPPLY. The water supply to the City of London remains much in the same condition as during the previous year, the supply being given daily (Tuesdays excepted) upon the intermit tent system, and in the poorer localities; this supply being afforded sometimes twice a day. The question of supply of water to the common lodging houses within the City has been considered, and a quantity of 24 gallons per room per diem delivered as the minimum for which storage should be provided. The consideration of this subject brought proininently forward the advantage of the constant supply being essayed as speedily as pos sible (indeed, the inconvenience of having a water supply in a transition state is daily felt) whenever the question of the provision of sewerage comes before you or your officers. Upon application from the commissioners, the New River Company agreed to supply all common lodging houses in the vicinity of which they have pipes that will enable them to do so, with a daily high-service supply, without additional charge to the owners'or occupiers, on condition that adequate cisternage is provided to receive it, and proper means be taken to guard against waste. The public urinals are still supplied at a nominal rental of ss. per urinal per annum. The supply of water for cess pools, cleansing, flushing sewers, and public purposes, is still gratuitously given, and the company h ave appointed at their own expense, a man to attend, at all times and occasions, to the various requirements which are made for water by your officers. IMPROVEMENTS. I last year, for the first time, noted in my annual report the improvements which wore, under your auspices, from time to time effected in various portions of the City, and adverted to the immense benefit which resulted from your seizing favourable opportunities for prosecuting them under the general powers of the Act 57th George 111. The opportunities which have presented themselves have been still more numerous during the past than during the previous year. Improvements have been effected by widening a portion of Lime-street towards the southern end, in Gresham-street, at the north-eastern corner of King-street ; a considerable length of Budge-row has also been widened, and an additional length at the south end of Fetter-lane, Rose-alley, New-court, Bishopsgate-street, has for a length of 90 feet been widened from a previous width of 5 feet 6 inches, to 15 feet ; the largest portion of White's-alley, Moorgate-street, from 5 to a width of 20, and a length of 119 feet; in West street, Smithfield, from an 18 fr waresl to 30 feet in Ntittni. 1 Negotiations have been compl e t e d f o r w id e ni ng a f ur th er portion of Upper Thames-street, east of Peter' s -hill ; f or continuing the widening of White's-alley, eas t war d, by re moving the house at th e ang le of Pit c h er - cour t ; an d a l so for making the public wa y k no w n as P r i n ti ng -h ouse -y ar d, Moorgate-street, 20 f ee t w id e an d s t ra i g ht, i ns t ea d o f being, as at present, eight feet wide and crooked upon the plan. Also for ext en di ng th e i mprovemen t commence d by this Commission some years ago, and from time to time prosecuted as opportunity offered, at the southern end of Chancery-lane ; and for continuing the widening of Fetter-lane ; and negotiations have been opened for effect ing an alteration at the western end of Throgmorton-street, for widening the eastern entrance of Tudor-street, for con tinuing the improvements in Lime-street still further southward, and opening a public passage-way through Whalebone-court, ' .tite's-alley, and widening another portion of Upper Thames-street. When the whole of those have been carried out, which there is every reason to believe will be the case within the present year, improvements 4wi }then have been effected, since the beginning of the year 1851, in 20 different localities, and I believe that the whole of them may be re garded with gratification by your honourable Court, from the evident advantages derived from them by the general public, the great satisfaction • they uniformly give in their immediate neighbourhoods, and, I may add, from the ' comparatively reasonable expenditure at which they have been made. I believe that, at the end of another year, when the value of some of the surplus ground, which the commissioners will have to dispose of, shall have been real ised, it will be found that the outlay has been insignificant in comparison with the benefit effected by the expenditure. The surveyor intimates that he will postpone his com ments upon the street orderly system till the contract, at the cost of 12,1001., to conclude at Midsummer, shall have concluded. SLAUGHTER-HOUSES. One of the most important powers gained by the new act was that of abolishing slaughtering in basements, or collars. At the beginning of the year there were 66 such places used for slaughtering, the whole of which, upon the Ist of January, became illegal, and since then have been entirely suppressed. Additional slaughter-houses have been registered during the year, and the total number now existing within the City is 87. At the end of the year 1851, there were 155 (including those in cellars) ; there has, therefore, been a reduction in their number of 68, equal to 44 per cent. on the number formerly existing within your jurisdiction. The whole of the slaughter-houses are occasionally super vised by the inspectors, who agree in stating that for the most part the proprietors evince a desire to second your exertions, by maintaining all the con diti ons required. CHURCHYARDS. The churchyards have been from time to time supervised by your district inspectors, who report to me that care appears to be taken by the parochial officers to prevent ex posure of human remains (once so common an occurrence) wherever the ground is excavated for additional inter ments; that burials within the churchyards generally have, since the passing of your first act of Parliament, been annually decreasing in numbers, and that during the past year their belief is that a very considerable decrease over any previous year has taken place. As the act relating to metropolitan interments passed during the last session of Parliament (subject to the con currence of the City Common Council), has given into the hands of your honourable court powers enabling you to provide a place of extramural sepulture for the City of London, the time when the entire abolition of extramural sepulture within the limits of your authority shall be ac complished may now be said to rest with you ; and as you have already unanimously concurred in the expediency of its entire suppression, and adopted a report to the City Common Council, recommending steps to be taken for the advancement of that object, and the matter is now under the careful consideration of the committee to whom it has been referred, it will be needless to advert to it further. The SURVEYOR, in alluding to the recent act, relative to common lodging-houses, anticipates great benefit from the strict observance of the regulations based upon the suggestions of the medical officer of health, and states that a number of houses were inscribed upon the registration book of lodging-houses at the expiration of the year. SMOKE CONSUMPTION. At the commencement of the yea r a surve y was ma de b e the district inspectors of the furna ces and chimneys w h emitted opaque smoke in a quantity sog c r s e t a fi a s to cause cases annoyance to the neighboirhoods.

I may say generally that I b e li eve adopting me much good has been effected, but that a very great deal still [remains to be done. The proprietors tof furn aces y ou r jurisdiction have in most cases had reco e apparatus.

NU ISANCES. The inspectors have, during the year, examined into the condition of 1,477 h ouses under the direction of your offi cer of health, the houses being mostly those where deaths have occurred ; they have also examined 558 other pre mises upon various complaints, and for other purPo"s• The total number of premises examined by them, there fore, has been 2,035.

My estimate of work for the present year has verified what I then wrote, and the sewers rate has ac. cordingly been reduced one-half. There is still, however, much work to be performed in the reconstruction of the exceedingly ancient sewers, of which so many exist within your jurisdiction, and the adaptation of others not built with the view to modern acquirements, as well as other works of general improvement ; but as these require much care and attention, and can only be shortly priiceeded with, the present rate will doubtless be sufficient to meet any further demands upon it, and your honourable eourt may at length enjoy the satisfaction of being able to reduce the rate, knowing at the same time that in so doing you leave no works undone immediately essential to the health op comfort of the inhabitants within your jurisdiction.—l have the honour to remain, your most obedient servant, " WILLIAM HAYWOOD. The report was ordered to be Printed. THE MA YNOOTH GRANT. (From the Times. ) Notwithstanding the impracticable character of the Maynooth difficulty, and the convictions gene rallY, though perhaps reluctantly, entertained on the subject, it is in no degree surprising that the question should create an annual debate of consi derable warmth and prolixity. We believe that no statesman of distinction either admits or antici pates the expediency of reversing that Parlia mentary resolution which endowed a Romish se minary with 30,0001. a-year ; but the feelings of many independent members are strongly engaged to a contrary belief, and the tendency of public opinion in a like direction was incontestably evinced at the late elections. The choice, in fact, is a choice of evils ; but while the greater evil is prospective and remote, the lesser is ever present and exaspe rating. To comprehend and balance the arguments of the debate, the reader should bear in mind not only the historical circumstances of the case, but the leading principles at issue in the controversy. After the solemn and deliberate condemnation of Popery by the English people, first at the Refor mation, and next at the Revolution of 1688, the Roman Catholics of the country were subjected to oppression and persecution by a Go vernment which reflected the opinions of the nation in suspecting their politics and abhor ring their creed. As time wore on, and as Papists grew less formidable and Parliaments more tolerant, various measures , first of relief, next of emancipation, and eventually of support, were suc cessively carried, until at length the Maynooth en dowment for the education of the Papist priest hood was sanctioned by the Legislature. The op position which these proceedings encountered was based on a combination of motives. A great reli gious party regarded the Romish faith as idola trous, anti-00istian and abominable ; a smaller political party desired to defend the old Protestant constitution of the country against this serious en croachment ; a more dispassionate class looked with misgiving ( to the practical operation of doc trines essentially irreconcileable with civil liberty and progress, while throughout the country were diffused certain indefinite traditions of jealousy and dislike which had never ceased altogether to exist. In the event, however, the principles of religious freedom gained the day, and it was to complete the measure of conciliation.that Maynooth College was first scantily, and afterwards liberally, en dowed by the State. It is now alleged that this endowment has failed in its purpose, and that it ought to be revoked. In perusing the two days' debate upon this ques tion the reader will discover the operation of all the original motives of opposition enumerated above ; nor can it be denied that experience has given them considerable additionp,l warrant. Mr. Spooner is evidently actuated in no small degree by the antipathy of religious conviction ; but as the arguments thus suggested are no longer re puted tenable, he appeals to the house on the more popular ground of plain secular expediency, and endeavours to prove that the doctrines taught at a college endowed by the State are not only " an- tagonistic to the Holy Word of God," but " inju- rious to the State itself, and completely subversive of the allegiance due to the Sovereign. " This ac- cusation is encountered on the part of Roman Ca tholic members by an averment that nothing is taught at Maynooth but what the college was esta blished to teach, that the endowment implied no favour on one side or obligation on the other, and that it would be absurd to suppose Roman Catholics had accepted the means of instruc tion on the condition of making this instruc tion inefficient or unproductive. It is argued, in short, on one side, as if disappointment might naturally be felt at seeing that a well-endowed. Popish college had. given an impulse to Popery ; whereas it is retorted with more reason, on the other, that but for such a result the endowment would have been no boon to Papists at all. .These atitittptiinii will be found to comprise the sub stance of the speeches respectively delivered. Both sides, in our opinion, enjoy their own share of right. We believe entirely that the Popery of Dr. M'Hale and Mr. Lucas is nothing in the world but the true Popery of the Romish Church and the infallible fruit of Popish teaching. We ac knowledge also that Popery is naturally encouraged by a semillarx founded for encouraging it ; but at the same time,' it cannot be denied that these prospective deirelopments were carefully concealed at the time. the endowment was proposed. The simple truth is that Papists, whilc , struggling doubtfully against the instinctive Opugnance of Englishmen' to their tenets and rtctices ' - made large profeisionS of inno cence an d g c,0.1. intent, dis guised their views , reserved their `designs, and received every instalment of relief Tllth such ex _ _ pressions of thankfulness as would lead -, st readily to another. Then, when the first check "As given to their ambitious proceedings, they bank d sud denly round, and availed themselves of tht-„wijage ground already gained to exert all their resources' . of hostility and annoyance. They verified to the letter every prediction which had been hazarded by the opponents of the measures for relief. After gratefully accepting toleration and freedom for their religion, they pushed its pretensions higher and higher, till they are now demanding the reduc tion of the Established Church to their own level, and are but one step, in fact, from the assertion of supremacy. They have kept the Roman Catholic portions of the empire in greater agitation than before, have brought into conspicuous prominence the unnational features of their creed, have re vived the most repulsive doctrines of " Popery " in its worst acceptation, have openly converted spiritual authority into secular influence, and have clamorously declared that they will regulate all their political duties by the interests of an ambi tious priesthood. Mr. Lucas and his friends maintain that this is a very natural and proper exemplification of their religion. We have no de sire to contradict them ; on the contrary, we are of the same opinion ourselves. We very much doubt whether in England, or indeed in any free Pro testant country, a true Papist can be a good sub ject ; but if all this had been avowed some years ago the opportunities of Popery would never have been what they are. And why, then, should such legislation be per petuated ? Or why, having discovered our error, should we not retrace our steps ? Simply because the error was not in our acts but in our expecta tions, and because none of the evils now rampant could be removed by the revocation proposed. What we are now witnessing is the operation not of educated Popery, but of Popery itself ; and, i n _ The ef u p ns ap eru ist pul agi ous tat an mos or al deed, Popery is no antagonistic to e d uca ti on of all d results sorts that even a Maynooth College is b e tt er than t n t r o e a 0 college nabl e a t all. audacity not from the endowment of a seminary, but from the removal of all control by the progress ous liberty.
