The English traveller should not fail to visit these useful edifices. He will return with a wish to reform those nuisances, and abodes of cruelty, filth, and pestilence, which disgust him in the capital of his own country. The other abattoirs of Paris are—that of Menii montant, which is about 870 feet long by about 750 in breadth; the abattoir de Grenelle, about 600 feet long by 480 ; and the abattoirs of Ville juii and Roule, which are somewhat smaller. In-all of them there are certain great principle& kept in view, namely, sufficient isolation from inhabited buildings—a spacious area— proper inspection—thorough cleanliness, and a large supply of water.

This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news aper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itabout four months, nd the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. purchase an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and produotion of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact..-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and orevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the grown of the heal ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on ehildren's heads in a few appplications. It used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials.

The following circular has been issued by order of the Commissary General-- "Augmented ratio of donations on subscriptions for affording gratuitous relief, and providing food for sale, .at first cost, &c. "TO THE SECRETARY OF EACH RELIEF COMMITTEE IN IRELAND. "Commissariat Relief Office, Dublin Castle, 20th January, 1847. "Sir,—Commissary General Si; R. Routh desires to state, that in consequence of the distress prevailit.g in districts where the union workhouses are full or unavail able, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant has authorised the recommendation of grants in an augmented ratio on subscriptions, having reference to the extent of destitu tion in each district. " Where much distress exists, the grants will be equal to the subscriptions. In some cases a greater amount will be recommended. "Under the circumstances adverted to in the first pa ragraph, the Government regulations allow of gratuitous issues to the infant poor, to widows, orphans, and chtl, dren where the supporting member of the family is inca pable from sickness or other cause to maintain them. "To persons requiring relief on such grounds, the food is a free gift of charity ; but when the committee sell, it is not desirable to do so under cost price, for it. is an object to maintain the funds of the committee as unimpaired as possible, so as to make them applicable to the whole season. " Donations granted before the present regulations was made cannot now be enlarged ; but the lesser ratio of such grants will be considered whenever lists of ad ditional subscriptions shall be received from the same relief districts. _ _ _ " Subscriptions and donations in aid of them, may be appropriated, where a distinction is necessary, to loca lities for which the sums subscribed shall have been in tended by the contributors ; but must still be managed by the committee, or a sub committee of its members. "It is particularly requek-ted that the certificate re quired by the 27th article of the general instructions may be affixed to each subscription list. " Grants are only given placed the of counties, th„anner pointed out by t_ of Government, issued through this office. " Where such committees do not exist, application may be made to the lieutenant of the county, to form them when necessary. " The food considered to be best suited for gratuitous relief is soup. This should also be provided for sale, where practicable, with a view of economising the con. sumption of corn.. "Inquiries being frequently made as to the payment of salaries to the secretaries of relief committees, this opportunity is made available for recommending, that in future a member of the committee be requested to act as secretary, and that a clerk be employed occasionally, as required, and paid out of the relief fund. " Where secretaries have been already employed in expectation of receiving salaries, these can only be paid where relief funds have been formed, there being no other source from which the expo uses incurred by com mittees can he defrayed.—l have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, " W. STANLEY, Secretary." SLAUGHTER HOUSES. The slaughtering of animals in town is necessarily attended, by circumstances which render the practice in jurious to the health of zhe community; and it is very questionable whether any regulations, short of prohibi tion, will materially amend the present state of things. It is no doubt possible to abolish private establishments of this kind, and to compel all parties to make use of those specially provided tor the purpose; but, as long as the practice itself is permitted within the precincts of towns, so long will it be a public nuisance, requiring removal. The views expressed on this subject, in the second re port of the Sanatory Commissioners, are very decided, and, we think, perfectly warranted by the facts of the case. The Commissioners state that— House by her Royal liiihness. The Queen will hold a Privy Council on Thursday after noon, the 4th inst., at Windsor Castle.

" The effluvia arising from the blood and the entrails of animals, whet e recently slaughtered, renders the curry ing on of such business in the precincts of large towns incompatible with due sanatory regulations, even when the offal and filth are speedily and effectually removed. In scarcely one instance, however, in which shambles or slaughter-houses have come under the observation of the Commissioners, either in the metropolis or in provincial cities and towns, have there been found iu force any regulations or authoritative supervision to compel the speedy and regular removal of offal from, or the efficient cleansing of such places. They have, on the contrary, been found to be, almost without exception, centres of the diffusion of noisome influences, affecting, with more or less intensity, the immediate vicinity, deteriorating the sanatory condition of the surrounding population, commonly poor and dense, as recorded in the local re ports of the Commissioners,land in a more remote degree vitiating the general atmosphere of the town, and thus `►ecoming a nuisance to the inhabitants at large." It may be laid down as a general principle, that all the towns of England suffer more or less in this way ; and that a thorough change is needful. In the " Report on the Sanatory Condition ofßristol,"it is stated, that— "Slaughter-houses in Bristol are scattered over the town without any special regulations. Very frequently they are situated in unventilated courts, and are much complained ot; both by medical witnesses and by the in habitants of the courts themselves." Dr. Reid, in his "Report on the Northern Cities and Towns," states that,— " Private slaughter-houses formed on the whole the most extreme subjects of complaint, and to such an ex• tent do they prevail, and so little are they confined to particular sites, that one of the worst cases occurs in a central street in Newcastle, or, at least, immediately ad joining it." Dr. - Iteid further gives it as his opinion, that— "ln all drained and low-lying districts, slaughter houses very often, if not always, sustain a perpetual malaria around the neighbouring habitations : they are a fruitful source of fever and other diseases. Similar evidence is given by Dr. Shapter in his report on Exeter. He says: " More inconvenience is suffered from the keeping of pigs and the nuisance of slaughter-houses; both these nuisances are most urgent, and prevail to a greater ex tent than is generally supposed, and by the poor obliged to live within their influence is much complained of. Cases frequently occur of serious fevers, nervous pains, and sickness of stomach, which they refer entirely to swallowing' bad smells from these resources." Similar evils also exist to a great extent in the Lanca shire towns. Dr. Lyon Playfair says in his report, that, from the state of the law, " If these slaughter-houses be in private courts they are permitted to remain, however injurious to the in habitants, and in whatever state of filth they may be kept. Thus, in the township of Manchester alone, there are seventy-seven slaughter-houses (in many instances six or eight butchers killing at the same place); but all these are without regulations. In Bolton, for example, I found several courts in which the middens attached to he slaughter-houses were filled with the offal of the laughtered animals, and had not been cleansed for at leasi - two months. In other towns I have found slaughter houses below dwelling- houses, the smell in which was roost insufferable, and in many of these dwellings the in habitants looked pale and sickly, and charrecea fre quently prevailed, although. absent from the courts con tiguous." The foregoing extracts will be sufficient to show the general bearing of the matter under consideration on the public health and comfort, but they do not comprehend all that is objectionable; for the commissions rs state that " A second evil and nuisance, necessarily contingent upon the locality of slaughter-houses, however strin gently supervised and regulated, in the miebt of large ind populous towns, is the quantity of animal ordury deposited upon the public streets and thoree..- 1 Leading to such slaughter-houses, which, besides fermihe ' a most ofFen4ve addi t i o n t o th e or di nary sur f ace fil t h , excites and accelerates its decomposition, This evil is augmented in the ratio of the size of the town ; and where, as in London, most of the surface filth of the streets is washed down into the seaers, the continual passage of cattle, sheep, an.l pigs, in the neighbourhood of the intra mural slaughter-houses, must materially in crease the amount of that decomposing matter, the ema nations of which are constantly escaping from the en trapped gully-holes, to infect the atmosphere of the metropolis. Nor ought the occasionally fatal injuries, and the constant peril of life and limb incurred by the inhabitants of large towns, the streets of which are so frequently traversed by goaded and over-driven cattle, to be overlooked in an enumeration of the inevitable evils of slaughter-houses situated in the crowded parts of towns, and as strengthening the more general sanatory grounds for urging upon the Legislature the expediency of abo lishing them, and of establishing properly constructed and efficiently regulated places for slaughtering cattle in the suburbs." In these opinions we entirely concur ; for we believe that nothing short of the absolute prohibition of slaughter-houses in towns will afford an adequate re medy. The poor, in this as in other things , are the chief sufferers ; and it matters little whether they be subject to nuisance from private shambles or public establish ments, for in either case the injury is inflicted. The situation of the public slaughter-houses in Liverpool renders them a source of great annoyance to the neigh bourhood, and it is not the less an offence against right feeling that they are placed amidst the dwellings of the industrious classes. We have learned on competent authority that the noisome exhalations which proceed from them are found to produce the usual effects ob served in other towns, such as diarrhoea, sickness, nervous complaints, &c. ; and persons suffering from these diseases have been obliged to change their resi dence before recovery could take place. The value f property has also, in some instanc es , been deteriorated. It It is proposed by the Sanatory Improvement Act to limit the slaughtering of_animals, for wholesale pur poses, to the public establishments. This willnodoubt be a boon to those localities where there are private shambles, but it will increase the nuisance arising from the public slaughter-houses. Previous to the year 1809, the cit • of Paris had suf fered to such an extent from the existence f private shambles, that it was determined to abolish them entirely, and erect five vast abbatc.irs beyond the boundaries of Norfolk (Branch from Wymondham to the Norwich Ex tension of the Ipswich and Bury St. Edmund's, and th proposed Thetford and Reedham Railway near Diss).

SOUP. _ - - - The following letter, introduced by a note to the editor, appears in Saunders News Letter (Dublin paper). It con veys a most favourable view of the working of the system of soup kitchens in Ireland : " Office of Public Works, January 22, 1847. " Gentlemen,—l should be most ungrateful indeed, if I allowed longer time to pass without expressing to you and to my kind friend Sir James Dombrain, both on my part and that of the unhappy population surrounding Glandore, in the county of Cork, my cordial thanks for your ready re sponse to our application on behalf of the electoral division of Kilfanaghembeg, in the Union of Skibbereen. " When I left that place last week our soup establishment was in full work; and if I was to name one word which should convey my opinion of the most prompt, the most efficient, a.lcl the most practicable means of saving the lives of thousands, that word would be soup; not food, food, food, but soup, soup, soup. "In our village they now distribute 7,000 quarts of soup daily, excellent substantial stuff; poor beef, slink calves, beans, meal, bruised peas, rice, and a littla oatmeal, with a small portion of commissariat biscuit broken up into it. We charge I a quart, and with a staff under 2s. a day, we find that this cau be done at au expense of less than 10s. a day loss. "The labourers going to the roads take a pint in the morning, and a pint on their return; they are no longer staggering from weakness, their aspect is already improved. and their physical powers amazingly so; the women and children in the village and its neighbourhood also participate in the advantage, and any benevolent persons who wish to give gratuitous relief, purchase tickets, which have, instead of coppers, now become the only relief circulating medium. " I should not omit to mention that the digester is of in finite value in working up the meat and bones, and in boiling the peas. Wherever Igo I endeavour to promote soup esta blishments, and I am happy to say that the Government have now instructed the Commissariat to give their cordial aid in setting them a-going. —l have, &c., - "J.

THE CONVICT HULKS AT WOOLWICH.—Sir George Grey, the Secretary of State for the Home Department, has ordered the strictest investigation to be made relative to the statements made in the House of Commons by Mr. Thomas Duncombe, M.P., on the evening of Thursday last, respecting the convicts at Woolwich ; the investigation is now in pro gress, and will be made public in the most unreserved manner, the parties charged being most anxious that a true statement of the treatment of the convicts should be elicited by a searching investigation. Letters from Odessa speak of the continuance of purchases in the grain markets on account of Belgium, France, and England, and the result has been increased firm ness of prices. For delivery in June a great deal of business had been transacted. The last advices from England are stated to have exerted much influence on the general condi tion of the market. LIBERATION OF MADAME LAFFARG E.—The French correspondent of the Atlas announces that this criminal, concerning whom so intense and factitious an interest bas been ket up, is about to be liberated. " The fact of her enlargement," he says, " appears certain, and the anticipa tion has given rise to almost as much excitement as the his tory of her crime did upon the occasion of her trial." •It seems that the matrimony-agent through whom she was introduced to her unfortunate husband, instead of shrinking abashed from the notoriety which the ill-assorted union brought upon him, boasts of it to this very hour; and his advertisements are lengthened by his efforts to bring it to the public memory.
