A B. LM j a r the f, an BAD II A. RV ZST • Under this title a small Publication has made its appearance, from which we extract a few pas sages which we think Calculated to be'eminently Useful at the present era. The Writer takes rather a desponding view of the state of, the Country, and lays tlie 4 foun dation for his advice in, we hope and he; lieve, an exaggerated view of the deficiency and "badness , of the late harvest, not .only in the British Empire, but throughout the World. This, however, if an error, is an error on the safe side, and should the economy lie recom mends not rest on the basis of necessity, it will still be a wise and good course to pursue on the basis of expediency. After enlarging on the failure of the crops and the wetness of the season, the author says the only remedy is " a system of rigid economy in the use of bread."—He then proceeds : •" To promote the general adoption of such a system, a few practical hints sh here be offered to the considelw on of the reflecting purt of the public. it may not be amiss, however, to pie mise„ that On the supposition shut the eanse alarm is here over-statetl, a system of economy in the use of bread, is calculated to produce a be neficial effect on the market, by lessening the de mand for Bread-Coro, and thereby keeping down Abe price of that most important article of con sumption; whilst, on the other hand, if the cause for alarm really exists to the extent here sup posed, such a system affords the only means of averting one of the greatest evils which can,hefal us--the failure, for a time, and how long it is im possible to say, of the umst important of the ne- , cessaries of life. • _ " In considering this important subject it can scarcely fail to occur, that much of the con.tonp tion of Bread .n the counts y ire owing to the habit, so prevalent among all classes of society, of eating only the finest Wheaten Bread, made of the pure flonr, without any mixture of bran. If, iwthis time of scarcity, even the seCOlld sort of Bread (commonly called. Household), could be bronght Tutee general use, so great a saving wottld be thereby made, tkat all cause for alarm would cease to exist.. But, unhappily, . this salutary change is too strougly opposed by prejudice, espe cially among the lower classes, to admit of any hope of its adoption, unless in a case of such urgency as to require the exercise of. Legislative authority.. Still, however, its adoption by the higher orders would be productive of .. a consider able saving ; and the salutary example, especi ally. when aided by the persuasive fotce of reason. log, might not be without its effect among the in ferior ranks." A few pages are next devoted to enforce the advantages of abstaining from pastry and , fresh baked bread ; and of taking care to avoid waste fn families. There is much practical utility in the ,following remarks : " It can scarcely fail to occur to those who are Sensible of the necessity,of %trio economy, at this time, in the use of bread, that nothing would tend more to defeat that object than the prac tice to which, in times of smutty, benevolence is too apt to result—that of enabling the poor to purchase bread at a reduced price. Nothing can be more evident than the tendency of such a prac tice to augment the existing scarcity, by prevent ing that decrease of consumption which affords the only effectual means of alle% ieting the evil. The momentary relief which the poor thus re ceive, fs, in reality, an injoryi aa it exposes them . to the danger of future want. The high price of bread,- at a time of scarcity, operates as a protec tion of the commodity, by checking, an improvi• dent consumption ; and all consumption most be improvident, which would prevent the stock from lasting the tune it is Wanted. The dearness of the article is thus a Security 'against its totul failure; and it it of the utmost importance that this safeguard libould not be removed, by enabling the most numerous part of the community to pur chase under the actual price. Every pound of bread they so purchase is an anticipation of their future supplies, und a source of future distress ; while every saving which is now made is, its ef feet, an addition to the stock-on which they have to depend for subsistence, for many months to conic. Upon the same principle, 'Whatever relict is now afforded to the poor should he furnished,' as much as 'possible, in miter articles—rather than in bread. 'The only effectual way of reliev ing. them in this article is f y means of a reduced consumption, aided by.every effort of care and economy, in order to bring the stock of wheat up on a par with the time it has to last.", The Pamphlet COIILIMILS as fOIIMVS '' Of-all substitutes for Bread, potatoes are, perhaps, at: once the moat commodious and the. most nouriahing. They are, Aso, the most ge nerally agreeable to the lower classes '; because, of all such substitutes' they most nearly resemble Bread. They form almost . the sole diet of the Irish peasants; who are a r6tirkably strong alid robust race of people. It is, as has been already observed, the misfortune of the present year that the crop Of potatoes is scanty. It is necessary, therefore, to txtoul our system of econdtny to the use of this article, Making rice the chief sub» stitnte for Bread, it least in affluent families, in order that potatoes may be more within the reach of the poorer classes. "But it has pleased Providence, in the present year, to alleviate the calamity of a bad harvest by an abundance of animal fond, which (except when made wastefully flit) is now unusually cheap. ,Here, then, a substitute may be found, of the most.nutritious kind, to enable the poor to re duce their consumption of Bread ; and it behoves the higher classes to assist them in availing them selves of this substitute, in the cheapest and Mon commodious tOrm. Experience has • abundantly shewu, that the form in which animal food can be turned to the best account is that of soup ; and it redounds to the honour of this country, that nunierotfs .estabilsitments hare been formed for the benevolent purpose of supplying thelowel•- classes with that ,salutery and nutritious Stich institutions, in the present state of , general distress, present the most judicious and effectual means_of distributing charity, in the true sense of the term, by affording relief where it is really wanted, Pecuniary donations are generally thrown away upon the undeserving ; anti they tore, in fact, a premium to idleness and profligacy. But -the distribution of soup is, perhaps,' in e'fitue scarcity, the best mode that can be devised:of feeding the hungry, and of preserving multitudes from perishing with want. In order to give.the fullest effect to these benevolent institutions, it might be expedient for all persons who are dis posed to bestow promiscuous charity, to he pro vided with tickets, entitling the bearer to applyv at the place there specified for a bason of soup.-- Such a plan, besides • affording substantial relief to those who are really io went of it, far beyond the ordinary amount of pecuniary donations, would.furnish a test to distingeish beiween real distress and fraudulent pretensions ; and it would tend materially to defeat those attempts at impos ture, which so frequently assail us in the garb of mendicity. " The charitable distribution of soup is, however, calculated only for populous districts, and chiefly. for the lowest classei of society, But it is ex.. tremely desirable that the cottager, and indeed persons of the middling rank, should- know lioW favourable this wholesome and palatable.diet Is to that systematic economy, which .lie circumstances of the times so imperiously demand, by turning animal and' vegetalle food to the best account, and by making it go as far at possible. This is . a lesson which, unhappily, they have. still to learn; in which respect, the corresponding classes in other countries have greatly the advantage.— it has been justly observed, that in England is pound of meat is simply a pound of tood ; and, indeed, when dressed in the usual manner, it does not afford so much. By the usual mode of roasting, baking, or boiling animal food, a very large portion of its nutritious juices is entirely lost. But when carefully stewed with potatoes, turnips,* barley, onions, split pease, cabbage, carrots, or rice (varying the dish according to circumstances), its nutritive powers are multi plied in proportion to the ingredients on us bleb it is made to act : insomUch, that a pound or two of meat will, with such helps, and actually does in other countries, furnish a comfortable •tueal, and a very cheap one too, for at least six or eight persons. In the Appendix will be found some receipts to assist the poor in providing for their comfort, by a judicious selection and use of the articles which may be the best employed by them in the making of soup. It would be a perthatient benefit to the lower classes, if their present dis tresses we t s :v to have the effect of inducing an habitual use of soup in their families. Such a change would he favourable to .health as well as ti, economy. For it is the opinion of many me dical men, that tloe health of the poor would be' improved by the adoption of a more varied diet, and by the connivent reduction In their con sumption of Bread. " It is no small advantage attending the use of soup, that the cheapest articlei of meat will answer as well as the dearest, and, whh the aid of vegetables, will produce a dish fit to be brought to the .tables of the moat . opulent. Time intro duction of a few bones into the stew-pan will help the cookery, " It may here be observed that it would, at this t i me , he a most useful effort of charity to take care that the lower end middling .classes be sup plied with iron-pots or stew-pans. This would; et once, prowite both economy and comfort in j their families, and furnish some relief to an int., portant :branch of Manufacture. These valuabie articles • might- be judiciously alonbuted by soup establishments, to poor persons evincing a dison shim, to make a proper use of them; and the gift might be accompanied with directions how to use them to the best advantage in the making of soup. " Upon the wILJ'e, the use of soup, as a par tial substitute for bread, is; at this .time, reit- Harry calculated to afford Subsistence to the ne cessitous; to relieve the distress which presses upon varions classes of the community ; and to promote that reduction in . the consumption of bread, whieh scents to he the only sure and ef• fectual remedy for the late bad harvest." The Appendix gives the receipts for :nuking soup, which appeared in TllB SUN of the 4th of January ; and for which, as we then noticed, the Public dre indebted to the benevolence of Lord Radstock: * While we have to lament the deficiency of the crop of potatoe.. we have to rejoice that the crop of turnips is most abundant I—and this vegetable is a most valuable iugredieut iu the making of suup. FOR TUE SUN. Me. EDITOR,—Ai it seems to be generally agreed upon, that all the benevolences at, this period col lecting for the unemployed industrious class should he applied to occupy them , in some useful work, allow me to suggest the folloWing, among other fit labours almost every village, thc houses of the working people are less attentively' purified than those of affluent persons. This is a common source of infectious disorders, such as dyseuteries and fevers, in addition to its offensiveness and constant Una holesomeness,• especially for dill &en. To relative those nuisances, I recommend all die ir , ditches, and geitteii; which convey putrid 'matter from cottages and inferior 'looses, to be freely opened, and drains constructed'for the future passage of such noxious things also that the privies and' other offices, too frequently left in a filthy state, should be cleansed and puri fied by quick lime. if the working people could be once matte fully aware of the comforts of such cleanliness, and of the slight efforts ,aftarwards demanded to maintain it, 1 am persuaded that the rising generation would be improved in health and decency. To the shame of almost every village, and particularly at inferior Inns, the total neglect of these decencies render, the abode at peasants more filthy than the worst alleys of the metro polis.

Ile was surprised to hear that the deceased was dead the nett morning. His death took place after eight, and the witness did nut apprehend he was so pear his dissolution: There were, however, many deceptions in a ease of this kind. • • In answer to questions from souse of the Jury, the witness strtted,,.lJuat the deceased did not say a word about ill treat ment at, .174.Thomas's hospital ; that in all probability his death was' niit accelerated by the refusal of the porter to admit hies, .and that as great care WWI Aitken of him at the Compter as could lie expected in }toy Witness no. &World that the deceased hail bee'ti taken to St. Thomas's hospital, ;+,ol refused admission. One of the jury ashed`why the deceased had not been taken to Bridewell after the refusal to admit him into the hospital MVVettgue said, that he could not have bean adwiticd without a commitment into lirlilewell, and therefore , N4ll • brought to the Compter, which was an asylum to all pour creatures from any parr of the town without tiny forum, The Coroner expressed his dissatisfactiuu at the absence of Allen, in whose care the deceased had been NMI to the hospital, and who bad Witnessed the refusal. Mr. Teague said, that Alien could merely state that he had taken the deceased in the closed cart lib the hospital, end that alter thu refusal he conducted him to the Compter. Ile also said tlpt Allen bad no idea That his presence would be ne. cessafy at thd Inquest. The Coroner, its addressing the Jury, said, it was e'Vlifeht that the deceased, upon Isis discharge fronritadtwCll, must have been, to till human appearance; •in a state different from that of h dying man, else he would not have been so dis• charged. If theease were otherwise, blame was attachable there. If the appearance of the man also at the Mansion-house, Subsequently„ was in dicative of danger, he should not have been kept there for several hours before he was presented to the presence of the Lord Mayor ; 'and it would still be more - blameable, if he really was in the state described whets taken to the hospital, to be refused or interrupted in his admission. The porter, however, • who had acted as relat ed, teas ' not • only subordinate to certain roles, but perhaps an ignorant person ; no evidence, however, appertaining to this person had been ad doted, and the . jury therefore could not take the accounts they had either heard or read respecting him into their consideration. lie would postpone the investigation if the jury thought proper, in order to Ithtain the evidence of Allen, but from all the- circumstances, particularly those of the deceased, appearing so well at the Compeer, eat ing end drinking so heartily, but labooring na 'doubt wider sense very uncertain disorder, he MIS at opinion that he cause to his death naturally.
