TIIE TRANSIT OF COMBUSTIBLE OILS.
To the Editor.

Rome six months since, I wrote to Mr. W. Rrymer,
M.P., telling him I had what in my estimation was rather
an important matter I should feel obliged if he would
bring under the notice of the Government No notice
was taken of my communication. I think the late sad
calamity inthe Regent's (!anal has awoke the public mMd,
and per some one will see to it There are hundreds—
might I think, say thousands—of barrels of combustible
oalsdatly in transit in the United Kingdom by railways. We
all know how the sparks 8y from engines, yet I never
saw one of these barrels covered up. I once had a small
quantity brought from Liverpool ; one barrel was very
leaky, and it was not half full on arrival: the balance
was in the truck. I should say there was • good half-inch
all over the ti uck. Those Liverpool gentlemen are a very
active business-like sort of people. I bought once some
hundreds of barrels of them, and got them to store them
for ; one barrel was more unfortunate than the rest,
because, I suppose, it lay nearest the entrance when they
sent their man for samples, It was a good brand—
C. Pratt's—l always purchase good brands, and sup-
pose that is the way! have repute ; but to my narrative:
the man had plugged my barrel with miss in no less than
18 places. I think there was about six gallons in that
barrel when it arrived. My object in naming all this is
'imply to draw attention in those great centres, and the
parties who have the dispatching of trucks thus laden
might, and might to have their attention called to it.

THE CONVICT ROIJPELL.

It is now denied that Wm. Roupell has obtained a
ticket-of .leave, and will quit Portland. The ex-11. P. for
Lambeth was sentenced to penal servitude for rd, for
forgery on September 24th, led 2, so that he has
served exactly twelve years. It may be remembered
that his offence warn the altering of a will matte by his
father In favour of his legitimate son, to a will in
favour of the convict, an Illegitimate son of the same
father, and that after he had mortgaged the vast pro-
perty to the last shilling he confessed his crime, and
the rightful heir thus recovered his property, the
mortgagees being the losers. Since his Incarceration
Itoupell has behaved in a most exemplary manner,
and ham been especially useful in attending upon sick
Donvicts, 'moving himself an excellent nurse, both
kind and patient, and many dying mid sick convicts
hav,, thanked him for his careful attention to them.
During the past year upwards of twenty inquests
have been held within the prison walls, and at most
of these ltoupell has given evidence. He is in
tolerable good health now: at first the prison disci•
pline told msui him. His mother has visited him
several times I lurin: the year. A petition in favour
of tho convict's dischar.fc was numerously signed by
members of Parliament during the last session.
