THE SEWAGE OF TOWNS.

LEAMINGTON, Triratmizv, 6 p.m.
This afternoon a congress was held at the Royal e
of our Pump Rooms, in this fashionable watering-place, to dis-
cuss the question of what to do with the sewag
large towns. The subject was a singular one to be brought
prominently forward in one of the cleanest, healthiest, and
best-kept towns in the kingdom, and which is generally sup-
posed to have a larger number of old ladies resident within
its precincts than any town of its size in the kingdom.
The local authorities, however, in their zeal for cleanli-
ness, rather overlooked the tastes and wishes of their neigh-
bours, who, having residences on the banks of the Learn
and Avon, did not fancy having those streams polluted even
by the clean-looking innocent sewage water, which hail
been " limed," deodorised, filtered, and cleansed, until it
was thought fit for any culinary purpose. Accordingly,
an appeal was made to the Court of Chancery, who pro-
nounced the pollution to be a nuisance, and issued an in-
junction against the local board. This body wished to try
the irrigation scheme, hut up to the present moment have
not succeeded in obtaining a suitable "
plot of ground for
the purpose. The proposal to hold a Sewage Congress"
was, therefore, accepted, in the hope that a feasible way
might be found from their difficulties, and informa-
tion afforded to other towns in a similar position. In
pursuance of a numerously signed requisition, Lord
Leigh accepted the chairmanship of the congress.
The interest excit,d was BO greet that deputations were
sent from Blanchester, Macclesfield, and other munici-
palities in the North of England, and at least 300 gentle-
men assembled to listen to the opening by the chairman,
Lord Leigh, whose remarks however were but brief. Mr.
Hawkesly, from London, read the first paper.

mum of this tumult was the entry into the church a two
women and four men attired in what they designated their
" vestments." These consisted for the most part of se-
venl pieces of paper either pinned or sewn together in
the farm of • cloak, and intended to a cope. On
the back, in the gayest colours, were paper ar-
ranged in the form of a large cross. One man wore a high

the constables be good enough to come up to this part of

Hunt whispered something in the ear of the constable,- on
which that functionary seated himself beside the pulpit,
and the service was then proceeded with, though not very
quietly, for at intervals there was a scuffling of feet, and
loud coughing. Several times Mr. Hunt paused and
looked sternly round, frequently addressing himself to
those standing, sad saying, " Sit yourselves down, please
sit down." When thus appealed to some eodeavoured to gad
seats, the others standing still. On leaving the pulpit
Mr. Hunt proceeded to the vestry, and again came forth

fume was scattered over the church lever,' persons pre-
tended to be seized with violent fits of coughing, which pro-
voked from others shoute of laughter, and amid this noise Mr.
Hunt repeatedly ejaculated, " Be quiet," " I must request
you all to sit flown," " Get off the forms," &c. The Com-
mandments were then read, in the comic of which one of
the men dressed as mentioned above rose from his seat
near the •
and walked down through the aisle. This
was the s for another burst of laughter, which was
renewed s ortly afterwards when another of the men thus
dressed rose from his seat, walked u Mgr. aisle, &tad occu-
pied the seat just vacated. After Hunt concluded
each prayer there were loud and prolonged cries of
"Amen," which caused more outbursts of laughter. One
man, while the Epistle was being read, put on his hat, and
kept his head covered with it foe some time. Instead of
reading Mr. Hunt chanted the Gospel, at which there were
other ;narks of disapproval manifested. While reading
the prayer of consecration, one man rose from his seat,
and -walked up and knelt upon the Mope of the altar.
Although, of course, many member' of the congregation
were shocked to behold this profanity, the great majority
of those present laughed loudly. Mr. Hum, addressing
the *instable near him, said, " Will you remove this
person" and a voice called out, "What for ?•' Mr. Hunt:
" Constable, I can't go on with the service unless you re.
move this man." The policeman then touched him on

took place.
