The ease of the journeymen bakers is thus stated
by Kr. Miran, of early closing celebrity.
In London, as also in some of the larger provincial toiras,
• erinsiderable proportion of there men ere required to work
loth not and de y. For instance, they oeutruence their
week's kbou an Sunday at 11p.m., and continua at it till
about foe, p.m. the following day. During the dreary
hours of the night, when most other persons are in
bed, and when all nature may he supposed to be at rem,
thus men are engaged in preparing the dough, and leaking
the bread ; and when at length morning conies, instead of
then taking repose, they have, uit were, to begin afresh,
being required to deliver that same bread to the out-
door customers, sometime' carrying • hundredweight
or mere on their backs, and at others peavey*
it in band-trucks—in either ciass,. sua. extremely

rime operation, which often occupies them till late in
the afternoon. To these men all days and nights are alike
through the week, up till Thursday, when matters too often
become still worse, especially in the came of the " under
selling* 'hope, where, in • large number of canes, the
area are required to work on continually from 11 p.m
OM the eve lltal mentioned, till late on Saturday afternoon,
making in all 40 hours labour at a stretch. It must
also be bane is mind that in the case of many, if not most
situsiffirea, this ohms of journeymen have to be in attend-
ees* en libunday, form about 10 a.m. till 2 p.m., to see
to the "dinner-bikinis." Taking it altogether, therefore,
it will be found that a large portion of three men are em-
ployed weekly for the almost incredible period of 112 hours
—averegleg upwards of 18 hours per day out of the 24
reekenteg six days to the week. It is true that in some
eetablishments those who begin at 11 o'clock at night
get finished by one ur two o'clock on the morrow ; but then
its also true that in the case of other shops of this clam
the operatives do not get done before five or six p.m. Now,
out of the 112 hours per week that so many of these men
ithethas required to labwr, the only respites they have is
to snatch their meals (often barely sufficing for that pur-
pose) and from an hour to an hour and a half during the
night, when they madly lay themselves down upon the
hard boards in the bakehouse, breathing all the tame the
same hot, unwholesome atmosphere which they inhale
during the other tedious hours of the night. Now, it must
he evident that these brief intermisaions from active

labour—prtieipted in under
next to melees as periods of rest and refreshment, men
especially as the men dare not trust themselves to get
into a sound sleep (even if they could do so), lest they
should lie too long, and thereby get into trouble by spoiling
the breed.

FATAL ACCIDENT I 1 OONNILLION WITH TIM NITRO.
rounds UNDMOBOUND RAlLWAT.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley
resumed an inquiry adjourned from the previous Thursday,
at the Lord Name Tavern, Duke's-row, Euston-road, on
the body of Andrew Ismirfoid Wall, aged 8 ere, the eon
of a glazier, living at 51, Burton -crescent.
The investigation involved the eenrceet either of the three.
tors or of Mr. Ja, the contractor for the works for con.
atructieg the Metropolitan Underground Railway, passing
under the Fasten-toad to King's-crow. It appears that
loud complaints have been made by the inhabitants, of the
road and pavements being blocked up by the immense
mounded clay and soil thrown out of the excavations for
the new sewer connected with works of the Metropolitan
Railway. On Tuesday, the Nth inst., the decreased with
some other children was on one of these mounds, and
whilst stoopAtemo pick np • piece of clay
heed, • portion of the
mound all and the child was pitched heed foremost
under the w Is of an omnibus paining at the mo-
ment, width went over his bead, neck, and chest.
Strange to relate, the child after this jumped up,
and Ten several yards, and then fell dead into
the arms of • man who rushed forward to rescue
hie. No blame whatever was attributable to the omnibus
driver, but the question arcs as to whether, under the act
of parliament for constructing the railway, the mounds
were legally placed, whether due care and precaution
bad been taken on the part of the contractor and
engineer of the company regarding them, and there-
fore whether criminality attached to any party in the
matter. In order to ascertain these point. the inquiry woo
adjouraed, to enable the coroner to see the oda of parlia-
ment and lay his opinion before the jury. Mr. Jay, the
connector, mu present, with Mr. Valiance, his solicitor.
The coroner having 'toted the result of his investigation,
the jury returned the following verdict, " That Andrew
Lwfurd Wall died from the effects of injuries of his head
awl chest, caused by their being crushed by a certain om-
nibus ; and the jurors further say that the said Andrew
Lawfunl Wall fell from it heap of cloy and subsoil which
had been left in the bieton-mad by the contractor of the
Metropolitan Railway Company. The jury further consider It
tc be their duty to stets that the works where the accident
happened have been executed in • e3reless, unguarded man-
ner, and la a way calculated to endanger human life. The
yon
ii,fxrew consider that the surveyor of the vestry has
to see that the provisions of the law have beset
carried into effect."
