A CATHEDRAL TOWN I!! A DIFFICULTY. is
100
(From the Times)
A reoent Report from an officer of the Privy
'
Council enables se to give • unions picture of an English er
town is the year 1866. The city of Ohiobeater is outwardly t
a model city. In sitnaticso, upset, and plan it appears to;
the tourist or visitor to be all that he weld desire. It N.
studs in one of the most beautiful parts of England—on r;
the long pleas which extends from Peetamouth to Brightens, se
just at the termination of a geode slope from the South ill
Down hills. It Is freely open to currents of air on every rk.
aide, and it is so built sa to turn these precious opportunities se
to the hest sement. Though we do not know that it
was laid out upon a comprebeesive and scientido
plan like New Sarum, it is actually as well-arranged as ti•
Salisbury itself. Its streets are wide, straight, and open, ea,
relining, worth, south, east, sod west, and interseeting at N.
a centre marked by the most beautiful market-cross is the
kingdom. When the late Mr. Pogin wanted to entreat It
the edifices of mediaival days with the structures of the
present, he selected Chichester woes as an example con- tan
natio' us of degeneracy. Thu the city, while as open and It
reotangelar as Chicago or Baltimore, is as pietureaque as ek.
/Salina or Louvain. Add the sea coast within easy reach, to
the South Downs for exercise, a cathedral establishment,
sad a barrack jut large enough for a battalion of Foot N.
Gaudio, and we seem to get a complete ideal of a ooltutry
town. N
Unfortunately this In all on the outside. Within, Chi. St
°better is full of all uoc:eanness. It is as bad as Gray's-
eta
inn-lan• or Serie Dials. The mortality in this charming te
city is higher than in nine of the metropolises anions. It 0
is little below the death-rate of all Lodes. Even daring ea
the last two years, when epidemics have prevailed in the ti
metropolis, the mortality has not bee* moth higher than 7;
the mortality of Chichester. Yet Chichester hu only ie.
about 8,000 inhabitants, has no manufactures such as it is it
now proposed to introduce into Oxford, enjoys ample home
space, and is unusually well provided with gardens. Nay,
even the soil is as favourable as possible, for the le
town stands on a bed of gravel nearly 20 feet t
deep, below which you get to the London clay. Thee 2
there is not so much as a noxtouc or effusive trade carried
oo in the place ; and why, instead of beteg the beidthiest,
it should be one of the unhealthiest spots of the smith, it
would perplex anybody at first sight to conjecture. No
smoke from factory obtosoiss contaminates the pure breezes
from the sit and the Downs ; so evidence of pollution or
mischief is visible in any direction. Nevertheless, here is
the tale of desths-211 is 1858, 207 in 1884, and as many
io the interval as will bring up the average of the levee
years to 196. They ars bad deaths too —deaths from gastric
or typhoid fevers, with a great deal of sickness sod inva-
lid* from the same cause. Fever is some type or other
iseeseantly haunts the city, and not merely the lowest parte
of it. The handsomest homes suffer from ite visitations.
Oos, inhabited by a profeeional gentleman in a favouritel
part of the city, contributed sixteen cases of fever is legal
than five year% every fresh servant mooing to the house
being attacked as • emitter of coarse. The hospitsl Itself
ie no better then any other bulb:line, as was rather seriously
discovered. When the death-rate was reckoned up and the
totals looked ugly, abatement was claimed as the snore of
the county hospital, to whiah patients were brought from
other dietricts for madicel treatment, sad where they ova-
sionally died. Oo inquiry, however, it was found that
may of the patients who died is the hospital died. not of
the diseases which they had brought there, but of disaaree
outraoted in the place itself—that Is to say, of lowliest
Chichester disorder'.
The reader may, perhaps, be impatient for the solution
of so extraordinary an enigma, and we give hie two words
—bad water ; not water impure by nature, but water pol-
-1 lilted by draisege. There is so system of drainage to
Chichester, nothing but esespools. Cesepoole are sunk
is
the ironed to a aerials depth, and wells are seek clue by
them a little deeper. Here Is the story as told to the Privy
Council :—" The drainage of all the bonus is into cesipoole.
These are nothing mere than sonto? holes in the
porous soil, walled generally by brick sad mortar, the
liquid that flows into them being either absorbed by'
the ground beneath or overflowing and rousing
into the soil nearer the surface. Out of other
deeper boles in this porous soil all the drinking water is
takes, these wells being en constructed that any fluid stuff
may percolate into them laterally. The whole city is thus
I riddled with boles, the deeper holes, or wells, being fro-
, queotly within a few feet of the shallower holes, or case-
' pools." So the murder is out. Of course the frequent
contamination of the drinking water is inevitable, and
equally inevitable is the Chichester fever.
It happen', too, that though Chichester bee no offensive
trades or manufactures, it is exposed to a periodical visita-
tion of no wintery character. Once a fortnight the city is
turned iato a lepton by • cattle huirket held in the streets.
At this market it is net uncommon to see ae many as
10,000 spicule ; one day there were 15,000; so that what
we could not tolerate in Smithfield is still seen in
full proportions at Chichester. No wonder that " market
reface" should " old to the contaminstion of the wells"
as well as poison the sir for the time. It is obviously, how-
ever, more from had water than bad air that Chichester
suffers, end the former impurity is now known to be the
more dangerous of the two. Happily it is also the more
avoidable. If the air around na is bad, we must needs
breathe it, but if the water is bad we need not drink it.
Very often when the wells were low for want of rain, and
the water more offensive than usual, the Chichester people
used to fetch better water from a distance ; but in the sod
present °Denotes°. will &Ivey' prevail over calculations of
risk, and as soon as the water became moderately pleasant
to sight and smell again the wells were taken into use ones

The object now is to relieve Chlabeiter from its evils,

forwarded to the town clerk of Chiabeater, and at the lams
tints their lordships, " adverting to the very urgent ne-
cessity which the report shows to esist for a more effective
sanitary government is the ally," request to be apprised
in doe worse of the measures which the Town Connell
may decide upon adopting. This information the
public will be very glad to share, bet in the mew-
-1 time there is au example from which the authorities of
Chichester may derive both instruction and encouragement.
By some unlucky fatality cathedral cities have been rather
specially notorious for bad drainage. but there was nose
worse than Salisbury. It is not very long sines Salisbury,
which somewhat resembles Chichester is the piss of its
streets and the disposition of its houses, resembled it also
lin its mortality ; but good drainage and good water have
now so effaced the blot that them Is not a healthier town
•
to Emslarid. Now, Chichester, Is advantage of situation,
surpasses Salisbury, and it may expect still more favour-
able results from the removal of the evils by which these
advantages are aeutralised. What Bashery has dose
Chichester may do, and with even greater Fait.

It has been stated that some of the principal
London Insurance offices are likely to Wee con-
siderable sums by the recent conflagration at Con.
stantinaple. We understand, however, that this
statement is incorrect, the greater portion of the
houses destroyed having consisted of the wretched
dwellings inhabited by the lower classes, and which
' would be regarded as quite uasoiteble for insurance
by au English office.
In view of the approaching announcement of a
new Brazilian Loan, it becomes interesting to glance
at the most recent facts bearing upon the financial
and general position of the Brazilian empire. It
must be admitted that the conduct of Brazil towards
her foreign creditors has been unimpeachable, and,
if only upon this ground, any financial over-
tures from bee government deserve to be treated,
if not with indulgence, at least with respect.
A large part of the existing debt of Brazil repre-
sents either the cost of independence or of public
works, and it is being extinguished at various but
substantial rates of amortization, regularly and
punctually applied. At those rates, apart from
new loans, it will all be paid off within twenty-five
years. The last financial operation was io the
main a conversion of the old 5 per cent. debt into
• 45 per cent. stock, with an augmented sinking
fund. The addition it made to the foreign debt
was insignificant ; to the actual debt it made no
addition, as the fresh sum borrowed went to pay off
outstanding treasury bills. The foreign debt of the
empire does not much exceed two yeas' annual in-
come, and the Tenets is lacewing. Its trade,
particularly with England, is rapidly extending.
Our importations of raw cotton lass year were
valued at about 4 millions sterling ; and our ex-
portations of oaten goods to Brazil were about the
same amount. In a short time the coasting trade
of the empire will be thrown open to all flags.
Within the last 12 months a second steam service
(from Liverpool) has been commenced. A monthly
steam service between Brazil and the United States
is about to be established. France already has a
steam service doing • very large business. The
relations of Brazil with the French govetn-
ment are cordial, while those with the
English government are about to be re.establiebed.
Such are some of the considerations upon the
strength of which a certain class of investors will
extend their attention to the coming loan, notwith-
- standing the leases which have been incurred upon
all the late issues of Brazilian government stock.
These longs may now be mitigated, and existing
interests largely conciliated, should the new loan
be issued at • price affording the prospect of a fair
immediate profit.
The Brighton Railway traffic return shows this
