reached him, or been reported to him. During 1852
there were several rumours to the effect that Sir B.
Walker was going to resign. Witness used to sit in the
same room with Mr. Stafford, and the papers that passed
through Mr. Stafford's hands also passed through wit-
ness's. Saw the circular of the 26th April, but could
not say it came to him after it had passed the board.
Papers relating to appointments and promotions gene-
rally came through his hands. Witness here entered
into explanations, with reference to the system of
appointments and promotions at Devonport. It was the
usual course, after papers had gone through the legal
department, where the appointments were made out, for
them to be sent back to the Surveyor of the Navy. The
circular of cancelment was not looked upon as an impor-
tant one at the time it was issued. Could not say whe-
ther it was ever submitted to the Lords of the Admiralty.
He meant to say the Secretary of the Admiralty did not
look upon it as an important circular, and that he, as
private secretary, did not.
Mr. Stafford was then called and examined at great
length on the case of Wells. This examination, which
was one of great detail, chiefly went to attempt to esta-
blish the statement that Wells never had any appoint-
ment, in consequence of its not having been properly
made out and signed, although Wells was recommended
by the submission of the Surveyor of the Navy. The
appointment not having been properly made, would not
consequently be found in the Record-department. He
admitted having seen the submission of the Surveyor of
the Navy, recommending Wells, on his return from the
Mediterranean at the latter end of September, and that
it was signed in the usual way by Admiral Parker, which
would convey to him the impression that Admiral
Parker had approved of it. The date of the appoint-
ment of Cotsell was the let of October, and, on seeing
the document appointing Wells on the 26th of Septem-
ber, he told Admiral Parker it was his great wish to
appoint Cotsell to Portsmouth. He did not go to Ad-
miral Parker's room on the subject, but after the board
met him. Witness said there would be a difficulty,
but Admiral Parker expressed a strong opinion in favour
of Wells. Admiral Parker, in.his evidence, says—" I
remonstrated with Mr. Stafford before I left town on the
appointment of Costell to Portsmouth," but it was a re-
monstrance before the appointment was made. He was
aware that Admiral Parker had been superintendent of
dockyards at Portsmouth, and could not, therefore, say
the admiral was an incompetent person to give an
opinion. According to the circular of 1847, the opinion
of such persons would have great weight, more particu-
larly on subsequently becoming a lord. Witness be-
lieved he named Admiral Parker's remonstrance to the
First Lord, but to the best of his memory the First Lord
gave no opinion on the subject. It appeared that Admiral
Parker not only remonstrated with witness but with the
head of the board by letter, according to the evidence.
Thought Admiral Parker wrote the First Lord when he
was absent on leave. Had no recollection of bringing the
matter to the notice of the First Lord before the appoint.
ment took place, but thought he consulted two other
members of the board as to Cotsell's appointment. They
were Captain Duncombe and Sir T. Herbert, and their
names were to the warrant. Knew it was against the
opinion of Admiral Parker, by his signing the submission
of the 9th of September, but he did not know that he
mentioned the remonstrance to the board. Witness con-
sidered Cotsell the best man, and did not consult Com-
modore Eden at all. Endeavoured to ascertain the
opinion of the superintendents, but did not communicate
with any to obtain their opinion in writing. If he found
that Wells had got the appointment, or the letter adopt-
ing the appointment, nothing on earth would have
induced him to disturb it. He considered that all sub-
missions and recommendations for promotion signed by
Captain Hamilton were either irregularly or inadver-
tently so signed, and that Admiral Parker went out of
his province in signing or initiating the admission of
Wells, for he considered all this sort of patronage in
dockyard appointments was the secretary's, because the
Duke of Northumberland had given him almost all of
them. The principal appointments commonly belong to
the First Lord ; but the inferior ones to the secretary.
The letter he wrote to Wells, dated 18th October, 1852,
explained this. It was as follows :
" Admiralty, October 18, 1852.
" Sir,—l have received your memorial without date ; and.
I am commanded by my Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty to acquaint you that they are not aware that you.
have received any appointment from them, and that their
lordships do not consider you justified in designating your-
self `late master smith of her Majesty's Dockyard at Ports-
mouth ;' they therefore return your memorial. If, how-
ever, from any communication with any of the officers of
the several departments, you have been led to expect such
an appointment, their lordships are prepared to give their
consideration to any memorial from you on that subject ;
but my lords cannot recognise you as a late master smith of
Portsmouth Dockyard, as no warrant has been given to
you by their lordships for such an appointment."
He had been in the habit of asking who were the best
men in the service, and had heard Cotsell's name always
favourably mentioned. He gave to Cotsell the " stereo-
typed" answer given to all persons, that their " applica-
tion should have the best consideration." This meant
very little. When Cotsell made his request he considered
that it was one that ought to be granted. Did not bring
Wells' memorial before any of the Lords of the Admi-
ralty before answering it, though he had heard of its
having been said by Admiral Parker that either " he or
I would leave the Admiralty." Thought the Duke of
Northumberland looked to making peace and mediating
between Admiral Parker and himself. He had already
stated that he was ready to take the resonsibility of the
documents not appearing in the records department, and
never knew the papers were lost until some months after
he left the office. The Admiralty not having Wells'
address, it was not on that account sent him. Had I
(continued Mr. Stafford) had further experience in office,
I should have looked more closely to the original circu-
lar, and have consulted others on the subject before I
cancelled it ; and with my present experience I never
should have cancelled it without laying it before the
board. I have no hesitation in saying I think it was a
hasty step. I was young in office at the time, and I did
not attach the importance to it that I now do. I think
Sir Frederick Smith had recommended Cotsell to my
notice.
Captain Richards, captain superintendent of Chatham
Dockyard, was then examined at considerable length.
He stated that he was appointed by Sir Francis Baring,
on the understanding that he was not to meddle in
politics. He considered the operation of the circular of
1849 very beneficial to the service, and that reversing it
was prejudicial to it, and without his approval ; and read
the following letters in the course of his examination :
(Copy of a note from Sir Francis Baring, Bart., to Captain
Richards.)
" Admiralty, July 2,1F49.
" Dear Sir,—Captain Eden will write you a etter re-
specting an application which I have had from one of your
people. I should like to know the man's character in the
yard, as his application is most improper, and I must take
measures to put an end to these proceedings, which are
worse at Chatham, I think, than anywhere else.—Yours
truly, "F. BARING.
" This inquiry is not intended to be confidential ; on the
contrary, though not a letter by direction of the board, it
is well it should be known in the yard, that notice has been
taken of the memorial."
(Copy of a note from Captain Charles Eden, Private Secre-
tary to Sir F. Baring, to Captain Richards.)
" Admiralty, July 2.
"Dear Richards,—l am desired by Si F. Baring to
forward to you the accompanying letter from Joseph
Ridgway.
" You will observe that this application for promotion
is made in direct contravention of their lordships' circular
of February 27, 1847, under the head of promotion. Sir
F. Baring would wish you to call upon Joseph Ridgway
to give such explanation of his conduct as he may be able,
and that you will forward such explanationto him.—Yours,
very truly, CHARLES EDEN."
" Chatham-yard, May 2, 1852.
(Extract from a letter from the Captain-Superintendent of
Chatham-yard, dated Ist March, 1852, transmitting the
usual monthly list of vacancies for workmen.)
" First-class leading man of metal mills. An entry from
private trade is recommended for this vacancy ; neither of
the inferior leading men being competent for such a posi-
tion. "R. M. RICHARDS, Captain-Supeiintendent."
(Extract— From Sir F. Baring to Captain Richards.)
' There must be some understanding that you will not
meddle with politics. I make this understanding with op-
ponent and friend, and I do not think that you are likely
to object to a condition which will oblige you to look to
the public service alone."
(Extract—Answer.)
"The condition which you are obliged to attach to your
gratifying favour is most acceptable to me, and I pledge
myself to its rigid observance. Had I been in a condition
to have proposed any stipulation, it would be precisely
that which you have been pleased to enjoin, and which
claims my added thanks."
(Private and confidential.)
" Chatham Dockyard, April 8, 1852.
" Sir—Under the very grave responsibility that rests on
me as the superintendent of this dockyard, tat
rests lord-
ships' instructions of February 27, 1847, and by Mr.
Ward's letter of the same date, I hope I do not misunder-
stand my duty in referring to you, in the mode permitted
in Mr. Ward's said letter, the apparent difficulty caused
by their lordships' order of the sth inst., for the promoti

of Joseph Ridgway, second-class leading man tn

therefore that I feel it a duty imperative on mu to bring

THE NATURAL PRINCIPLES of BEAUTY,
As Developed in the Human Figure.
By I). 11. HAY, F R.S.E.
" The main points of this treatise are the clear and detailed state-
ment of the principles on which the author's system is based, and
very explicit particulars of its verification by experiment.
cannot refuse to entertain Mr. Hay's system as of singular intr*nsic
excellence. The ain-Plicity of his law and its generalitimpres
themselves more deeply on the conviction with each time of enforce-
s
went. His theory proceeds from the idea, that inchature every-
thing- Is effected by means more:4mph) thsn any r that could
have been conceivecl,—an idea certainly cons!stent with whatever
we can trace oat or imagine of the ad-wise framing of the universe."
—Spectator, Jan. let, 1853.
" This is a treatise which, in its ingenuityy not less than its sub-
ject, is exquisitely beautiful . . . riefl, it is here proved that
man, the image of his Maker, has, even in his low estate, a frame
based on the type of the most perfectly conceivable symmetry. By
founding (If we may so phrase it) this noble theory, Mr. Hay has
covered his name with distinction, and has laid the basis, we con-
ceive, of no ep 'enteral reputation. By
illustrating it anew, through
the medium of this graceful treatise, he has
oking conferred a real boon
upon the community, for he has afforded the pubic
another oppor-
tunity of following the golden rule of the poet—by
lo through
the holy and awful mystery of creation, to the holier and yet more
awful raystery of Omnipotence.'--The San, March 17, 1853.

with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors
In relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from Debility of the
Generative System, or Sexual Hypochondrirsis.
Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD
"Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practi-
cal contributions to German medical literature. This is the first
Jime, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the noa-medi-
eal reader. We trust this may not be the last, if he shall
detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his
oower to correct."—London Medical Gazette, May 30, 1851.
"We promised in a former number that we should recur to this
wors, in order to exhibit its aim more clearly. The author lashes
with great severity the impostors who make a livelihood by preying
on the credulity of the public. The tribe of Quiet Symathisers,'
and ' Medical Friends, are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those who suffer from th com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hindreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much money ......This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spermatorrhcea, and to place the treat-
ment upon a more rational and physiological basis. It is, therefore,

Such are cases ix., xi., xii., and xviii. No. ix. had resisted, for a

THE INCOME TAX.
SHOULD this portion of the Budget pass,
Income Tax ni. st paid by millions now exempt; yet it will
then be useless to " look daggers " at the Tax, though many persons
will regard it as a great" bore" for penetrating their pockets and
their earnings—a cha,acter often given to other articles of daily
consumption called Taxes. None needs waste flesh by useless re-
pinings, for the sacrifice may be easily and pleasantly survived by
agreeable retrenchments, in which much is gained and nothing lost ;
and even if the Tax is paid, an annual gain may be accumulating,
which will ecesstiiute a respecabie fortune for Individuals ,and
Families. This is one o: the advantages derived from business

and ability in the man.
" You will, I am sure, do me the justice to believe that I
do not for a moment presume to question their lordships'

Sir J. DUKE, M.P., stated that he had been called upeis • •
to preside over large and influential meetings of his con-
stituents in reference to the object of the deputation ; and
he was a witness to the unanimous and most cordial appro-
bation with which the project was hailed and supported.
In the ward of which he was the alderman, the site of the
proposed improvement and terminus was included, and he
could bear unequivocal testimony to the fact that the ex-
ecution of the plan was most anxiously desired by alltheh
inhabitants of the district, whose unanimity of opinion
upon.the subject afforded the best proof that in their judg-
ment the admirable arrangements made for passengers and
vehicles, to and from the intended station, would form no
impediment to the free passage of the streets.
Mr. J. MASTERMAN, M.P., as member for London, was
in a situation to corroborate fully the statements of his
colleague as to the general wish of the constituency for the
accomplishment of the objects sought by this deputation.
There could be no doubt of the stste of public Opinion On
the subject, or of the advantage which would accrue to the
City from its being supported by the Government.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS, M.P., could assure his lordship that
the objects of this deputation were not merely local. As
representing a borough on the south side of the river, he
could attest the interest with which the inhabitants of
that borough looked to the progress of this movement as _
generally calculated to promote the comfort of the poorer
classes, and to afford facilities for trade. He might add
that, as having been himself long and extensively engaged
in business in the city of London, he could vouch from
personal experience for the accuracy of much of the detail
of difficulties which had been laid before his lordship by
the commercial gentlemen who had preceded him.
Mr. APSLEY PELLATT, M.P., also represented a consti-
tuency on the south side of the river, and could speak from
a somewhat intimate knowledge of the subject. He had
attended several of Mr. Charles Pearson's expositions, and
having also carefully examined the documents and plans,
he was prepared to say that the execution of the works
would diminish the present crowding of the streets, pro-
mote sanitary improvements, and would be received as a .
great boon by the inhabitants of the metropolis at large ;
and it was so regarded by his constituents.
Mr. WILKINSON, M.P. said, as a metropolitan member,
he rejoiced in the prospect .before them of seeing this pro-
ject carried out. He confessed that he regarded as one of
its most important features the means it would afford to
artisans, mechanics, clerks, and porters to enjoy the privi-
lege of passing their nights with their families in conve-
nient and healthful habitations, away from the scenes of
their daily toil. A cheap railroad accommodation to the
heart of the metropolis would enable the Corporation and
the Government to proceed.with this great street improve-
ment without adding to the overcrowding of the dwellings
of the poor, by destroying, as had been the case, thousands
of houses, and driving their inhabitants to take refuge in
the wretched habitations that remained.
Mr. BUNCOMBE, M.P., bore testimony to the deep in-
terest the borough he represented took in the success of the
measure. The evils which had been so faithfully depicted
by preceding speakers were necessarily on the increase, and

destitute of conveniences which were enjoyed in other
places. Birmingham and other large manufacturing towns,
had railway stations in the centre of their business. The
accomplishment of the present measure would place Lon-
don upon a level in this particular with other towns.
Mr. HALT said the object of the deputation w as,not to
ask money from the Government, but to urge them to
carry out the principle of the commissioners' report. The
railway proprietors must look after their railway them-
, selves, but the report required the Government to watch
over the public interests, and the duty thereforect res
whited
with the public authorities to support a projech
would effect such a great public improvement.
Mr. BUCKMASTER, late chairman of the West London
Board of Guardians, said that the clergy and parochial offi-
cers were all favourable to the plan on account of the im-
portant benefits it would confer on the poor.
The Rev. Mr. JACKSON, being the incumbent of the
parish of St. Sepulchre, would be glad to see the project
adopted on sanitary grounds alone, for he had nothing to
do with its commercial features. He felt sure it would bo
the means of improving the wretched dwellings in which
the poor were compelled to live ; it would give facilities
for obtaining better habitations five or six miles from town,
where their families might reside in comfort and health.
Mr. HOWELL (of the firm of Ellis and Everington) de-
sired to impress upon his lordship the importance of giving
immediate attention to the subject, for all the causes of
complaint were growing causes, and 20 years hence the
evils would be very much worse. There was now an op-
portunity of grappling with the difficulty at a compara-
tively small outlay by reason of the great extent of ground
already laid open, which, if built upon, would not again
be rendered available, except at an enormous cost. If
the budget passed, the omnibuses and cabs would be so
cheaply kept, that the City would be deluged with them
to a still more inconvenient degree, unless better means
of conveyance were afforded by substituting cheap, prac-
tical, and expeditious railway trains.
Mr. WALKER (of the firm of I. and C. Boyd and Co.)
entirely concurred with preceding speakers as to the great
benefit this measure would confer upon both the whole-
sale and retail traders of the City, by diminishing the
crowding of the streets, and facilitating the means of
transit for both passengers and goods. But he desired to
direct the attention of Government to the important bene-
fit the country would derive from the improved postal
arrangements which a central terminus, in direct commu-
nication with the Post-office, would afford.
Mr. SIMON, the officer of health to the city of London,
said that great improvements had been made in the sani-
tary condition of the city by improved drainage and water
supply, but he felt convinced that by cheapening railway
conveyance for the labouring classes between the outskirts
and the centre of the metropolis, more would be done to
effectuate the wise and benevolent designs of the Govern-
ment and other public authorities in improving the moral
and sanitary condition of the poor than by any other mea-
sure that could be devised. The district which it was pro-
posed to clear was the worst in London, and very many of
the houses to be removed were unfit for human habitation.
Lord PA LatER STON said that, prompted as well by personal
feeling as by a sense of official duty, he should be happy to
do all in his power to promote any measure having for its
object so many advantages as had been suggested to him by
the respectable and influential gentlemen who had addressed
him. Every person who had occasion to go into the City
know that it required almost as much time to pass through
one mile of its crowded streets as to travel thirty miles
by rail. It had been truly said, that the overcrowding of
the streets was daily increasing, and he might add that it
was fortunate that it was so ; for the causes of that incon-
venience must be looked for in the increasing trade of the
City, the enlargement of the metropolis, and the growing
prosperity of the country. In a measure like that under
consideration there might be parties who opposed it. He
was not aware of any ; but reserving to himself a discretion
to consider any fair objection that might be brought for-
ward, he gave the matter his mostwilling consideration; and,
as far as he was at present informed, it was deserving the
support of Government. The details, of course, fell
within other departments. The railway portion of the
measure would devolve upon the Board of Trade for con-
sideration, and the proposed street improvements would
be inquired into by the Office of Works ; but he regarded
the project as a whole to be highly deserving all the sup-
port that the Government and Parliament could fairly

" If I have erred in so doing, if I can have misunder-
stood the instructions and injunctions of the 27th of Fe-
bruary, 1847, which have induced me thus to address you,
may I beg, as the greatest favour that can be conferred,
you will be pleased to say so in such explicit terms as shall
leave no room for future doubt.
" I have much to regret in not having the honour of

prevent me from making this communication personally

The Chairman then read the following letter from Mr.
Disrae

" Grosvenor-gate, May 3, 1853.
"My dear Lord Henry,—l should feel very much obliged
to you if you would have the kindness to attend the dock-
yard committee this morning, and state to the chairman
(Lord Seymour) that as my name has been injuriously in-
troduced into the evidence, I am prepared and desirous to
to appear before the committee at their convenience.
" Yours sincerely,
" B. DISRAELI."
" House of Commons, May 3, 1853.
"My Lord,—ln compliance with the wish expressed in
the enclosed note from Mr. Disraeli, I have attended before
the dockyard committee, respectfully to request that your
lordship will call Mr. Disraeli as a witness, should you, as
the chairman of that committee, be of opir ion that any
evidence has been adduced before you which can in any
way impugn the character and conduct of Mr. Disraeli
while helield office under the Crown.—l have the honour
to remain your obedient servant,
" HENRY GORDON LENNOX."
" The Right Hon. Lord Seymour."
The committee then adjourned to Thursday, at eleven
o'clock.

The following is the third letter of Admiral Parker to
Sir Baldwin Walker, produced in evidence, but not yet
published

"2lth August, 1852.
" Dear Sir Baldwin,—l quite agree with you about the
master smith, and that it will be of advantage to the pub-
lic service. Captain Richards, the superintendent of Chat-
ham yard, was with mo this morning, complaining of the
jobbing taking place in Chatham yard. My advice was to
rest on the good. cause. It is really lamentable that such
a system should go on through a secretary who fancies
himself First Lord. It is disgusting, and the sooner it is
exposed the bettor.

CITY TERMINUS-DEPUTATION TO LORD
PALMERSTON.

On Monday afternoon a very numerous and most influ
ential deputation from the citizens of London and the me-
tropolitan districts waited, by special appointment, on the
Home Secretary, at his office, to solicit his support, and
the active co-operation of the Government, in carrying out
the projected City improvements at Farringdon-street and
Holborn-valley, in connexion with the proposed City rail-
way terminus, as designed by Charles Pearson, Esq., City
Solicitor. The deputation included members of the firms
of Fisher and Robinson ; Morrison Dillon, and Co. ; Brad-
bury, Greatorex, and Co. ; J. and C. Boyd and Co.- and
many other of the great wholesale houses. The deputation
was attended by the members for the City (not in office),
and several of the metropolitan representatives ; also by
the late Postmaster-General, Lord Clanricarde, and by se-
veral clergymen and medical men, who take an interest in
the sanitary improvement of the metropolis, and in ame-
liorating the condition of the poor.
E. CURItIE, Esq., having briefly introduced the
deputation, thus stated their object :—My Lord, a royal
commission acting under the instructions of the Secretary
of State for the Home Department in 1846, reported that
railways ought not to be admitted into the City, except in
combination with extensive street improvements, to be
effected at the joint cost of the railway company and the
localities to be benefitted by them, and to be executedwith
the approval and under the supervision of a department of
Government and the Corporation of London. Mr. Charles
Pearson's grand project of constructing a trunk railway in
connexion with the removal of the acclivities of Holborn and
Snow-hills, has been approved by the Corporation, and re-
quires only the concurrence of the Secretary of State, sub-
ject to a negotiation now pending between the company and
the Common Council, as to the proportion in which the
cost of street improvements should be defrayed. The plan
proposed is not a measure of mere city or even metropolitan
improvement. It is an object of national --of universal
interest ; for it proposes to provide, both by road and rail,
a grand arterial organ of communication between the ter-
minal stations of the railways and the outlets north of the
Thames, and the heart's core of the metropolis of the em-
pire, in which are and have been concentrated for ages the
greatest public monetary and commercial establishments
in the world. By the plan proposed 10,000 persons will be
daily conveyed by this great iron highway, composed of
four double lines, to stations in Farringdon-street--the
widest and least frequented broad street in London—with
diverging streets for passing passengers in all directions to
and from the stations without confusion and without in-
commoding the ordinary traffic of the st;eets. Thousands
of omnibusses and cabs, which now creep through our
principal thoroughfares, plying between the western and
northern outskirts of London, and the great railway sta-
tions in these directions, will by these means be superseded,
and their passsengers will be cheaply and expeditiously
conveyed by rail in a well-lighted and well-ventilated
subway to within a walking distance of their places of
destination. Gentlemen attending in this deputation re-
present 15,000 influential and intelligent persons of all
classes in the City and its suburbs, who, for various reasons
expressed by them, have petitioned in favour of this plan.
It has received the support of merchants, bankers, and
professional men in great numbers, because it will diminish
the overcrowding of the streets, while it will largely in-
crease the facility and economy of railway travelling, by
giving to the inhabitants of this vast metropolis the benefit
of cheap, frequent, and punctual trains, which the daily
travelling of such masses of a migratory population entitles
them to expect. The great wholesale houses of the City,
who aro represented in this deputation byinembers of leading
firms, support the plan, because it will enable them to get
their goods carried with more economy and less delay to
and from the great railways which conduct the transport
of goods. The retail dealers give the project their support,
because, by facilitating and cheapening railway carriage
for their customers, and by diminishing the overcrowding
of the streets, they hope to recover some of the retail trade,
which for some years has been passing out of the City, as
obstructions in the thoroughfares have increased. Philan-
thropists and sanitary reformers are represented in this
deputation by clergymen, laymen, and medical men, who
take a deep interest in the sanitary, social, and moral wel-
fare of the poor, and who advocate the plan because this
railroad will practically annihilate the distance between
the green fields in the suburbs and the pestilent courts and
alleys in the centre of this metropolis. By means of an ex-
traordinary reduction in the charge for railway conveyance,
which nothing but extraordinary numbers can warrant, the
power of residing out of town will be extended to thou-
sands of small shopkeepers, clerks, mechanics, artisans,
porters, and others employed in the City, who will be
enabled to obtain (the price of daily railway conveyance
included), comfortable dwellings, in healthful situations,
for less money than they now pay, in pestilent situations,
for wretched rooms, unfit for human habitation. The pro-
jected railway penetrates into the very heart of the City,
and through densely-populated portions of the northern
suburbs. Those districts, and the parishes with which the
railway will be connected by means of tributary lines, in
action and in contemplation, contain a population above
half a million, requiring cemetery provision for more than
10,000 deaths each year. A cheap railroad, with one or more
funeral trains daily to a suburban place of interment beyond
the metropolitan area, would remove some of the chief diffi-
culties which have impeded the execution of the Government
plan, by supplying conveyance for both the living and the
dead, at a charge below the present cost of walking funerals.
This deputation desire thus briefly to bring the main fea-
tures of this remarkable undertaking under your lordship's
notice ; not in its character of a railway project, but in its
collateral bearings upon the health, convenience, and phy-
sical and social improvement of the masses of this great
city. They believe that the peculiar energy, the pre-emi-
nent ability, the indefatigable devotion to the public ser-
vice, which have long signalised your lordship's career in
one of the highest departments of the Government, may
now, under Providence, be the means of conferring
domestic benefits no less remarkable—no less deserving the
labours of a great statesman—on millions of your fellow
countrymen ; and in this point of view, and under these
impressions, they respectfully submit this important under-
taking to your lordship's attention and favourable con-
sideration.
Mr. LOWREY (Holyland, Rogers, Lowrey, and Co.) said
that the leading commercial houses of the city of London
usually abstained from taking part in the local affairs of
the city, but upon a subject so deeply affecting the trade
of the city, they felt it was their duty to step out of their
usual course, and to press upon her Majesty's Government
the importance of giving its support to the measure

TEE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY.—A deputation
from the executive committee paid a second visit to
Yorkshire last week, to explain the objects of the society.
It consisted of the Rev. Dr. Worthington, R. N. Fowler,
Esq. (of the firm of Dimsdale and Co. Bankers), C. E.
Lewis, Esq., L. S. Gorman, Esq., ander. Morgan, Esq.
A public meeting was held at the de Gray Rooms, York,
on Wednesday, when a very full explanation and satis-
factory account of the rapid progress of the society were
given by' the various speakers. It was announced that
the deputation had viewed land in the neighbourhood of
York that day, and they might eventually purchase it
for the members. A meeting was held at the Odd-Fel-
lows Hall, Halifax, on the following day, over which
George Haigh, Esq., of Halifax, presided. Several
interesting speeches were delivered on the occasion. Mr.
R. N. Fowler, in the course of an able address in ex-
planation of the principles and plan of the society, said
it was not their intention to disguise the fact that this
was a Conservative Society, and that their object was to
further Conservative principles. If stronger efforts on
the part of the Conservatives were not made, ere long
all the county constituencies would be in the hands of
their opponents. Considered as a commercial scheme,
it was based on the same principles as other societies
founded by their opponents. It afforded to every
man the means of obtaining a small portion of
land, without the great difficulties which had
hitherto attended the purchase of small allotments.
Hitherto an investment to the amount of 501. required
as much legal acumen as one to the amount of 5,000/.
This had been a great impediment to the land being
divided into small portions amongst the working men of
this country. But it was very desirable thatijo iitnsvleiusteldd

tion, which left the management entirely in the hands of
the members, and the next advantage was, that no mem-
bers could by any possibility be risking anything by
joining. It was announced the committee were taking
measures for an early purchase of land at Halifax.-
Branches of the society, with influential local committee,
are in course of formation in the principal towns of
Yorkshire.
