EXPERIMENTAL STREET CLEANSING AT SALFORD.
—Pain.= LABOUR O. hiACHINRRY. The Manchester
Guardian pabliskes a statement of an experiment tried in
Salford, to compare the expense of street cleansing by the
sweeping machine and by pauper labourers. Every care
was taken to make the oomparison a fair one ; both efts of
workers being placed in the same line of street, on the same
day, and the 'treat was of its ordinary degree of dirtiness.
It was intended that the men employed should not have bees
aware that any experiment war being tried, so that they
might work in their usual manner ; but it is believed that
some person, desirous that the hand sweeping should appear
to be the more troonomical method, urged the sweepers
to unusual exertion ; for it was re,narked, during the day of
trial, that they were working with extraordinary diligence.
It is stated that the men working the machines were kept in
entire ignorance of the trial gleg on. It appears from the
statement prepared under the direction of the Salford
scavenging committee, that the cat of hand sweeping was
at the rate of 2731. 18. s. Bd. per annum, while the machine
sweeping costa at the rate of 2041. 12... 9d. The hand
sweepers cleansed 12,122, and the machine 18,216 square
yards in the day. The real cost to the rate-payers of
hand sweeping u, according to the Manchester Guar-
dian, more than would appear front the previous state-
ment ; for, of the thirteen men employed, six were
paupers, whose labour is charged in the account at
the rate of only Is. 2d. per week each, this being
the sum paid by the committee, the rest of their maintenance
being paid for by the guardians of the poor out of the poor's
rate. With this exception, every item of expense seems to
be included ; and the result is, that, out of every pound
spent in hand-sweeping, 10 shillings is wasted. With regard
to the qualityof the sweeping, Mr. Lowe, the superintendent,
reports, that, "the machine sweeping is decidedly prefer-
able, as the brooms of the machine, by sweeping the
street in the direction of its length, act upon the
pavement so as to level the earth in the inter.
sties, of the stones, whilst hand sweeping has exactly
the opposite effect." This is not very distinctly ex-
premed, but we understand it to mean that the machines
remove the loose mud and superfluous soil only, whilst hand.
sweepers are apt to remove the gravel from between the
stones ; thus rendering them loose and uneven, The same
paper says: "Then are, we knew, those who contend that
it is better to continue the more expensive process, because
it gives employment to hand-labourers. We suspect it
would be very difficult to persuade any of these anti.
machinists that it is wise for them to lifeline • superior
article made by machine, at a shilling, and to buy,
in preference, an inferior one for two or three. Yet
this is exactly what they do as guardians of the
public purse. Out of every pound they spend in hand
sweeping, they waste 109., besides what in paid out of the
poor rates. But it is urged that this 10e. is not weeted—it
goes to pay wages! And would it not also go to pay wipe
if it were left in the ratepayer's pocket, to be expended by
him as he might choose ; or, better still, if it were spent in
increasing the health and comfort of the poor by effect
bully cleansing some of the numerous dirty courts and
back streets which the scavenger now but rarely en-
ters ? It is quite right to set the paupers to work,
and probably impossible to find any work for them,
the returns of which are equal to the full cost of their
maintenance; but surely some work may be found in
which the tom will be less than 50 per cent., and the loss of
land-sweeping is more than that. Surely, also, some more
suitable work might be found for aged or infirm men, as
many of** paupers are, than one which, like scavenging,
exposes them so much to wet and cold ; something more like
what they have been accustomed to do, which will expose
them less to the public gaze, and which will not, by showing
their neighbours that they sr, reduced to the necessity of
asking parochial relief, stamp them as paupers for ever."

WARI

SUPPOSED MURDER AND MUTILATION.—An inquest
commenced yesterday evening in Birmingham, on the body
of an intent, whose remains were discovered under peeelier
circumstances. It appears that a young woman, named
Elisabeth Steadman, who, it is alleged, is the wife el a
young man recently transported, has latterly filled annalists
as domestic servant, at a public-house in Cirokine-street, in
that town. On Friday last she was found to be very unwell,
and for satisfaction of her employers, a medical man (Dr.
Mackay) was called in, who, after seeing his patient,
I expressed has opinion that she had brag Ws sem-
fined. This being denied, a diligent erne mse
commenced on the premises, but it was not till Saturday
afternoon that the remains of an infant wens discovered in
the cesspool attached to an outhouse, in nes lea than seven
different parts, the body having been so divided. The queer
tion of conesalemmt and mutilation will, it is thought, be
fully borne out u against the mother, who, from Lbws, is
unable to attend the inquest ; but as regard!, the mess minas
question of murder, no conclusion can be arrived at, swing
to no evidence of the post movies, examination haring beam
adduced at the time of oar Birmingham parcel being IYa
warded.

A HINT TO Couterstesurr Lintss.—The Earl of
Yarborough is adopting some valuable improvements on his
estates at Brocklorby. " Upon his estates" observes the
Eargern Camas' Herald, "as upon many ethers, the ma-
jority of the Magas have been let with the fsrma hitherto,
the farmer subletting them to the labourers either for rent
in money or as pert of their wages. Lord Yarborough has
loud been convinced that a radical evil existed In a system
winch phased the labourer so completely at the mercy of the
farmer. His lordship, therefore, is now making arrange.
