RESPECT FOR THE POORER CLASSES AND THE
DECENCIES OF HUMBLE 'LIFE IN RAILWAY TRAINS.—
It clearly appears (krona Parliamentary returns of 63
British lines.of railway), that the inferior class carriages,
compared with the first class, are really the superior in
amount of returns, by nearly dotible the sum yielded by
the first class; and that the second class, of itself alone,
here exceeds the first by nearly 300,0001. Surely, then,
the inferior class passengers are entitled to a little more
respect and accommodation than that received oc-
casionally by those who thus actually contribute millions
of sterling money out of their own hard-earned gains.
A poor man complains, in the Times, that the accommo-
dation and respect represented by the munificent adjunct
of a penny, or even a halfpenny, candle, during the
transit of Parliamentary or cheap class trains at night,
was denied to a carriage of forty persons of both sexes,
paying, in all, at least 161. 36. 4d. to the company (the
South Eastern), who nevertheless really "could not afford
it!" If the object of railway companies be to disgust the
poorer classes, and prevent them from presumptuously
riding by rail at all, we could help them to a much more
effectual scheme than that—a scheme once most effec-
tually adopted in the evacuation of certain other "classes"
by a chemical professor in the modern Athens, we
remember, on occasions when the occupants were induced
to remain too long in the voluptuous enjoyment of cheap
but fascinating odours
in
in the courseofthwehpro-
fess
or's experiments n organic chemistry—and
by the way, we would recommend as attractive towards
first-class carriages, whilst the professor's succedaneum
—sulphuretted b) drogen—would be found in practice a
much more expeditious evacuant of the classes of in-
ferior or less desirable grades than mere darkness.— The
Builder.

CITY Or LONDON SEWAGE.—The first meeting
after the recess of the Commissioners of Sewers for the
city of London, takes place at Guildhall, this day, and it
is expected, the propriety of applying to Parliament for
more extensive powers to purity the City of puny of its
nuisances will be taken into consideratioa. This step
origirates with the Commissioners, in consequence of
Lord Morpeth's Bill for the Health of Towns which was
introduced into Parliament last session.
