tare for the removal of Smithfield market. Instead
of the area of the market being filled with live beasts
standing for a period in pens, it would be crammed
with meat slowly decomposing on counters. Gar-
bage would be scattered about the paths, and
blood stagnating in the gullies. It would
fly in the face of that resolution of the Committee of
the House of Commons to the effect that there had
been "great benefit to the health of the neighbouring
inhabitants, from the presence of a large open space
such as Smithfield." The Committee in the same
resolution expressed their hopes that in any contem-
plated alterations, the greater part of the open space
might be retained. Finally, it would violate the
Charter by which the Corporation were authorised
le um Smithfield as a "whet. The said Charter de-
aling that no license should be granted to build upoa
the ape space, and in express terms provided for
the inesseion of the spot to its original less,

Grown property. An opinion of the law officers of
the Crown asserting this, was given more than a year
op, and has never been rebutted by the City. It
remains to be seen what opposition to the scheme
will proceed from the intelligent portion of the
citizens who have of late years done so much to pro-
I mote sanitary regulations.

This sanative appeared in oar impression of
Thursday lest, bat we re-publish it is this prominent
position for the purpose of forcing it upon the notice
of Lord raisins& The incident is the theme of
conversation in all circles. It is the universally ex-
premed mess of the London public that Lieutenant,
Hors sad his twenty-five gallant volunteers deserve
special nodes and distinguished reward. From
another source we learn that at the moment of the
explosion, Lieutenant Hors, who was the only officer
of his regiment left in camp at the time, with a
degree of self-possession beyond his years,
seined the bugle sad sounded the " Assem-
bly" for the men to fall in and parade. The self-
possession and promptitude of resource thus evinced,
combined with hie subsequent loathes and generous
self-devotion, show that he is the true metal to make
a leader oL His coolness and judicious loaded in
sash an awful and unforeseen emergeacy Is a far more
real proof that he possesses the highest qualities of
a soldier, than Mere gallantry in action mold be.
The beam refloated on his family by Lord HOPITOUN
, of Peninsular fame (Mr. Hors is the only son of the
Lad Justice Clerk of Scotland) will be augmented yet
by his young relative. The truly brave are always the
, most ready to assert the claims of others. We feel con-
fident that any reward conferred upon Lieutenant
Hors would lass great part of its value in his esti-
' pieties, if the brays and devoted men who volunteered
along with him were sot rewarded at the same time.
