Northern Times. — Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1857-06-24 00:00:00

MR. JAMES M'DONALD & THE CORPORATION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES. was in hopes that my friends - (?) would have allowed me a short respite, a little breathing as it were, after the various garrotttigs I have been subjected to during the last few years, but, as usual, I, have hoped against hope. In your impres sion of to-day I find a letter signed, " A Town Councillor;" intimating to me that there are some Christians abOut making a movement to place me beyond the influence.of absolutestarvation in my old- age.— But your correspondent, the " Town Obuiidilldrj7:.hints an insinuation, or rather, in plain: language, he makes a demand on me to explain my conduct in regard to, the " Smoke Prevention Committee." Your correspondent is perfectly right in his general statements. It is qaite. _ true .I was s. common policeman, and that I was inspector, superintendent, and so on, and it is equally true that I was, unfortunately, for myself, but fortunately for the inhabitants of Liver poolas every day's experience will prove, appointed manager of the Water Works. Your correspon dent appears to admit that my conduct in these various departments was unimpeachable, and moreover, he s iys, " I did render some service to Liverpool," but that " I had got myself into a mess because I would have nothing to do with the Pike water," and that having got an office under , the Corporation, I ought to have been perfectly contented. Now, Mr. Editor, I am about to wash my hands of the Pike and all connected with it; and I think it just as well that I should make a • clean breast about my smoke experience. As my kind friend (?) I have no doubt, who calls himself Town Councillor, demands an explanation at- my hands, "before he unbuttons his breeches pockets" he shall have it. But you must pardon me, sir, if I, in making this confession of faith, should so far forget myself as tocell " a spade a spade?' I can assure you, sir, no recipient of a bounty ever felt more grateful than . -I did .to the' Health Committee when they conferred on me the high hon our of appointing me their Inspector for the S uppres. sign of the Smoke Nuisance, I entered on the duties of that office with a zest which I had hardly ever ,OXperienced before. Not merely because I was the fortunate recipient of 1501. per annum, but the duties were to me a labour of love. I was, sir, a smoke inspector—not a mere police spy. I knew the duties of my office, and performed them so long as I was permitted to do so, honestly and conscien tiously. My mission was not to play the part of a detective, but to prevent the offence. Acting upon this principle, I undertook a task which had baffled all the so-called smoke engineers who had ever meddled with it. "It is all very well," said an intimate friend of my own, and a large fifrnace owner, to me one day, " I must admit that 'you can prevent the emission of ' dense volumes of black smoke' from stationary furnaces, but the thing never can be done on board steamers." Well, this was the question which had to be solved. I asked and obtained permission from the Smoke Committee to pursue my own course. I went on board these steamers as a common stoker, and something more ; for, at first, when I made my appearance in the stoke-hole, there was a general migration to the deck, leaving me, of course, responsible for the entire machinery ; not only so, but the most villianous tricks were resorted to, by certain engineers, to cause a disaster, hich would -have been, as a matter of course, laid to my charge ; but, fortunately for the Smoke Committee, there was no blow up. I knew my duty, and I per formed it. Ignorance is the curse of the human race—always has been, and unfortunately it is not, confined to a class. In my experience of smoke 'burning • I have found as much—aye, more, in certain crooked ferry boat pioprietors than I have amongst their own stiff-necked stokers and engi neers. However, perseverance will always prove successful in the long run. I did persevere. I wrought in these hot holes, while the thermometer sometimes indicated 1.80 degrees, days, weeks, -and months, until I had gained the ascendancy, and even more, I may say, the friendship of a class of men who, at one time, would --nay, tried to give me my quietus. I shamed them out of their perverse prejudices. And, as a general rule, it will be found that our Liverpool steamers emit less smoke than any lay class of vessels in the country, using the Bailie description of fuel. And how has this been ac complished ? I will leave my rather crooked ferry manager, one of the most bitter and unscru pulous opponents I had on this subject, to speak for himself. Meeting this gentleman the other day, I asked him, " How are you getting on with smoke ?" "Oh," says he, "we have no bother now ; we make no smoke, we save our coals, we save our boilers, and we save labour. They are only humbugs who would turn out smoke !" What a confession from the quarter from whence it came. But I think I hear you say, " That is all very well, but what has it to do with the present posi tion of the question ?" You have been called upon to give an account of the reason why you fell into disgrace with the Smoke Committee, and got turned out of your situation. We all know that the Smoke Nuisance is virtually extinguished, but that circumstance is no reply to the charge made against you by a Town Councillor, of having for feited your office by some act or acts of indiscre tion, which is impressed on the minds of- many of your very best friends. Now, sir, I am aware that this is the common tail of the town. I have, however, already informed you, that although only a common policeman, I never condescended to be a common informer. So long as the Smoke Committee placed -confidence--in my proceedings, I was their most zealous and devoted servant. When they tied me down to prosecute parties of whose guilt I had grave and -serious doubts, I ceased to look upon them with respect. I had to attend a committee once a week, and at that com mittee I had a fierce battle to fight, in order to keep down frivilous and cruel information. A' man's profession ought to be no degradation to him. Character, conduct, and intelligence, are as likely to make good legislators as the " scions of the, veriest aristocrat" who ever wore an imperial. Perhaps you will not longer wonder that I reeolved-to wash my hands clear of all such parties ; perhaps I did not adopt that bold and straightforward course which I usually pursue, but I did not wish to make myself more notorious than I had become, and hence I walked out or the way to enjoy a mouthful of wholesome air, Now, sir, your correspondent, and my other friends (?) know the reason why I did not appreciate, in the way a more discreet man would of course have done, my position as Smoke Inspector, with my handsome stipend of £l5O per annum. —Yours truly, J. M'DONAT.D. LOSS OF THREE LIVE; IN A SEWER.—On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held, before Mr. W. Baker, at the town of Ramsgate, Wapping, on the bodies of Georee Groves, Francis Wortley, and Evan Macarthy, who lost their lives, en Wednesday afternoon last, in a sewer at Wapping Wall, by the escape of mephitic gas. From the evidence of a witness named Miles, it appeared that the three deceased, in company with others, .repaired to the sewer for the purpose of cleansing it. On opening the sewer a lighted candle was lowered for the purpose of ascertaining the state of the air, when all being found correct, they commenced ;work. A second and a third opening were then made, and on each occasion lights were lowered. On the last occasion, after the men had remained below some time, a sudden flow of water overtook them, the effect of which was to disturb the sediment, causing it to emit a noxious vapour, technically known by the name of melhitic gas. One of the men, being operated ea by the inhalation of the gas earlier than his companions, exclaimed, " It is so bad, I cannot stand it," and witness, on Wining his attention to the speaker, discovered, to his aarprise, that the li g ht w as extinguished, and he had , con sequently to grope his way towards him. Another candle was then procured and lighted, which, on obtaining .a certain depth, also went out. Means were then rapidly taken for the extrication of the men, and after considerable difficulty they were all brought up, the above being unfor tunately found dead, and taken to Wapping workhouse. The jury returned the : following verdict :—" That the deaths of the deceased were occasioned by the inhalation of , mephitic gas which was caused accidentally, and they recommend that in future great caution should be observed when engaged in such worko,,, NUISANCES.

The Market for the Public Funds and Securities to-day was very steady, and with a moderate busi ness doing. No change occurred in prices. The closing quotations were for Consuls on Account, 93 to 931; Exchequer Bills, 3 dis to 1 pm, and the New Throe per Cents, 921 to 931 ; Messrs. Brown, Hunter, and Co., in their circular, dated this after noon, make the following remarks upon the state of trade generally, and the Money Market particularly : The effects of dear Money and high prices are clearly seen by a contraction of business, ands growing indisposi tion on the part of buyers to enter into operations, except to meet their present requirements ; hence in our Produce , Market during the past month less activity h as been ' observable, and prices have been supported only in conse quence of the supply having proved inadequate to - the demand. The state of the Money Market has been watched with some anxiety ; still, notwithstanding the efflux of gold has continued to a greet extent, the large arrival of specie, together with the improved position of the Bank of France, Which has lowered its premium for gold, the more favour able returns of the Bank of England, and the propitious weather for the growing crops have induced a more hopeful feeling that some relaxation would shortly take place ; the public, however, were taken by surprise by the directors at their last meeting reducing the rate of discount from 64 to 6 per cent,—a step which must be regarded with satisfac tion, and as calculated to inspire confidence in the fature. The stock of Bullion in both departments of the Bank of England. by the last returns, was £10,909,255, against £9,853,609 last month. The course of business during the past six month@ has not been characterised by any peculiar events ; the prospects at the commencement of the year were certainly encouraging, and it is satisfactery to observe that the retrospect of the first half must have realised the most sanguine expectations,for whilst there have b:en'some temporary checks, business generally has been profitable to most engaged therein. The supplies of Produce having been incommensnrate with the increasing consumption of the country, have not only sufficed to maintain the late high prices, but, with few exceptions, an upward tendency has prevailed, notwithstanding the adverse circumstances of re stricted facilities and dear money.had to be contended with, the demand for money for several months has been excessive, and although large importations of specie have taken place, the continuous efflux of bullion, and the unfavourable position of the Bank of France have not only absorbed the increased supplies, but caused greater stringency in monetary affairs than before existed, and in April the rate of discount was further raised from 6 per cent., at which it had stood since December last, to 64 per cent., at -which it remained until last week ; the stock of bullion in April having been diminished to a lower amount than since 1847. Taking these facts into consideration, it must be evident that the provisions of the Bank Act of 1841 are obortive ; for whilst the value of money is so much increased by the imposition of an exorbitant rate of interest, which fetters commerce, and causes serious inconvenience and loss to the trading community, the restrictions have failed to arrest the export of gold, and for a trifling diminution in the stock of bullion, although with plenty of money in the country for all legitimate purposes, produce, under ordinary circumstances, and property become depreciated in value, and commerce unduly taxed thereby. It is to be hoped that the inquiry now going on into the principles and operations of this act will be productive of measures ensuring a more uniform value of money and preventing such oscillations in the rates of interest, -which would not only establish the commerce of this country upon a sounder basis, but be highly beneficial to the interests of those engaged in business. In the London Share Market there was very little doing to-day, but prices were unchanged. Tus CORNISH FISHERIES,—At St. Ives, on Wednesday The following were the closing quotations : ast, several boats brought on shore from 3,000 down to Caledonian, 741, 751 ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 100 mackerel, which sold at 17s per 100.

The prices TO VII EDITOR OP THE NORTHERS", TIMM. Sir,—ln the Health Committee, yesterday, Dr Duncan is reported to have said that " the most of the nuisances complained of did not last more than a quarter of an hour, in two or three days, and he did not see how he could certify that they were injurious to the health of the inhabitants." With reference to one of the two cases then under the consideration of the committee, Dr. Duncan ought to have known he was giving utter ance to that which was not correct. The manure manufoctory, in Great Howard-street, emits the most horrid and disgusting smells it is possible to imagine. Its operations are not confined to any particular hour, but from " rosy morn to dewy eve," and sometimes into the hours of the night, it con tinues, at intervals, to send forth its deleterious gases and vapours to such an extent, that often times( the stench is intolerable at a distance of three hundred yards from the works. If Mr. Duncan will venture to assert that a viti ated atmosphere such as this must naturally pro duce is not injurious to health, then I would ask him why pull down the poor man's pig-stye in the brick fields, or-close the marine store dealer's cel lar with its hundred weight of bones, and yet per mit in a great .thoroughfare like Great Howard street—a place consuming its hundreds of tor* of boned, and by the application of chemical fluids generating noxious smells and vapours to the injury of the surrounding population—is it because the one is a rich and the other a poor man, that the greater evil is deemed the lesser? "What in the captain is but a choleric word, is in tho common soldier rankest blasphemy." The Chairman, Alderman , Dover, thinks it should be looked at in a Pecuniary light, and that manufacturers are deserving of consideration from the benefits arising to the town from the renting of cottages, wages, circulation of money, &c. So long as a m inufactory is conducted with out injury or annoyance to the neighbour hood, it is right that the authorities give every due facility for carrying it on ; but when it becomes, as in the case of the manure manufactory. a gigantic nuisance and dis grace to the locality, ,the pecunia l tty gain of one man ought 'net to be permitted to stand in. the way of the health and comfort of a thottsiind men; but those to whom is delegated the preservation of the public health shouldexercise the powers vested in them, and at once take effectual means to put a stop to so intolerable and objectionable a nuisance.—l am, sir, yours, &c., Liverpool, June 19, 1857. ANTITITOSPRAT.E. THE WATER QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES, Sir,— The Memorialists have engaged the atten tion ot the Council on the water question, but their request is, for the, present, denied. It appears that a councillor can snap his fingers at us when he gets through the doors of the Town•hall, and an alder man is completely independent. We have had a good illustration of this, of late, at the " waters of strife" in the Council chamber. But we are denied pure spring water from the wells; and where is our remedy, or how can we help ourselves ? Mr. George Holt retired ere the " waters" came on ; Mr. William Earle was placed for some time on the stool of repentance ; and Mr. Buck Lloyd is now an exile from the Council chamber. These are public testimonials which our Council ought to place before them when they set their faces against the requests of the people. But this is a tedious .remedy, however effectual as it regards our coup cillors, but so remote in. respect to aldermen that we must regard them as an offspring with whom we have positively nothing to do. In cases of great emergency, such as the case at issue on the water question, we are laid by them perfectly prostrate, without power and without remedy. We shall, ere long, come into the Dog Days. Let them take care what they are about ; the public are soon excited. They may save themselves by giving the spring water only to the people ; but if they refuse this in time, let them take themselves off to the Highlands, lest an excited people should take the case into their own hands, and their escape be after the fashion, and as perilous, as that of the late Sir Charles Wetherell over the house-tops of Bristol. This is no menace—it is a caution ; and everything can now be put right without outraging the feelings and endangering the lives of the people. —Yours, &c., A LOVER OF PEACE AND PURE WATER. THE CLOSING OF PRINCE'S PARK: TO THE EDITOR OF THE NORTHERN TIMES, SlR,—Allow me to suggest through your columns the propriety of the curators or keepers of the Prince's Park being ordered to ring a bell, or give some other significant signal before closing the _gates in the evening. Parties, for the want of such notice, are occasionally put to great incon venience. The worthy proprietor of the Park would, I am sure, at once remedy the evil if it was pointed out —Yours, &c. _ B. obtained were barely equal to those quoted on Friday last. The business at Manchester was not over active to-day, but prices were stiffer than on Tuesday last. _ _ . The Traffic Returns of the Grand Trunk of Canada Railroad, for the week ending May, 30, show receipts of 8,9051, against 4,6871., corres ponding week last year; being an increase of 4,2181. Telegraphic advices from St. Petersburg, dated Friday last, mention that the price of Tallow had advanced to 179.50 for the last three months, and 184 ro. on the spot. The demands upon the French money market bid fair to continue heavy. The conditions upon which the four millions sterling, forming the new capital of the Bank, are to be issued, have been published. On and after Thursday next, provisional certifi cates will be delivered to the present shareholders at the price of 1,100 f., payable in four instalments of 275 f. (11/ ) each, on the 10th September and 10th December, 1857, and on the 10th March and 10th June, 1858, with a right to the dividend of the second six months of 1857. The requirements of the French railway companies are also considerable. It has already been announced that the Northern of France Railway Company is about to make an issue of new shares,the proceeds of which will go towards the prosecution of the works on the new Perla and Soissons and other lines, included in this com pany's system. The shareholders will receive one new for every four old shares, and the issue will take place on the l.st of July. A first payment of 8/. per share must be made upon these new shares. The dividend of 40f. upon the old shares will be due at the same time. The price at which the new shares are to be issued is not yet settled. It is alleged that the company wish to fix it at 201. per share, and the government at 600 f., or 241. The Amalgamated Lyons and - Mediterranean Railway Company has ale() announced the issue of 115,500 new shares of 201. each, representing a total capital of about 2,310,0001. sterling. The first payment, amounting to 81. per share, will require 924,0001. In this case also ,the issue price remains to be fixed e 700 f., or 281. per share, is spoken of. The shares of the Great Western Railway ; Corn pany of Canada experienced a fall yesterday, the week's traffic being reported at 9,7841, against 10,1971. in the corresponding week of last year. The continental letters received to-day describe the rates,of exchange on London as firm, the sup ply of bills on this country being scanty. The steamers Rhine and Seine have arrived in the Thames from Boulogne. The former vessel has brought thirty, and the latter vessel ten cases di - silver, the total value of which is computed at in - 3 - 0,000/ or upwards. Advices from Cape Town, dated the 28th of April, state :—" The Clarendon steam-ship Shuttle worth, from Dartmouth to this port, Mauritius, and India, arrived here April the 14th, and is now being surveyed, to ascertain whether she bo in a proper state to proceed on her voyage, the vessel making much water. The Wool Fair at Berlin, on the 20th inet., wont off with great spirit, most of the wool being sold in six hours, and at prices Id. to 2d. per lb. above those of 1856. In England the sale of German wool is very difficult ; prices are very unsatisfactory to impor ters, and it appears that very little has been taken at the German fairs for English account. Nothing is at present known for certain as to the date of the next public sales at London, but it is ex pected that they will commence about the second Thursday in July. The market here is at present very flat. The annual meeting of the South Australian Banking Company was held to-day. E. Divett, Esq., NI P., in the chair.
