farmers—the persons affording employment by
which the labouring classes are supported—
will sustain a heavy pecuniary loss. Those
persons who formerly remained quiescent will
now have a powerful motive to preserve the tran-
quillity of the country ; a prompt pursuit of the
guilty parties, in which the peasantry join with
activity and alacrity, will prove that the public
feeling in that vicinity is in a healthy state, and that
there is no occasion for any extraordinary measure
to be introduced where the people have acted in so
praiseworthy a manner. The clause by which per-
sons refusing or neglecting to join in the search and
pursuit of those who have committed, or attempted
to commit a murder, when called upon so to do by
any justice, peace-officer, or constable, are made
guilty of a misdemeanour, and subjected to two
years' imprisonment, with or without hard labour,
will likewise prove most serviceable to the cause
of peace and order, and will be found to be, pro-
bably, the most valuable provision of the Bill.
The clause which was added at the suggestion of
Mr. BAINES effects an improvement, the necessity of
which has long been recognised—indeed it is diffi-
cult to conceive any reason why it has so long been
overlooked. It will be especially useful at the pre-
sent moment, when Lord CLARENDON has declared
his intention of making all those who comfort,
shelter, and protect well-known assassins, and enable
them to escape the punishment due to their
offences, amenable to the law as accessories
after the fact. Formerly no person could be brought
to trial as an accessory (unless tried with his princi-
pal) until that principal had actually been convicted-
This defect was, however, remedied, so far as related
to accessories before the fact, by the 7 Geo. IV., c.
64, by which it was enacted that " accessories before
the fact to any felony, whether by common law, or
by statute made or to be made, shall be deemed
guilty of felony, and may be indicted for a substan-
tive felony, whether the principal shall or shall not
have been convicted, or shall or shall not be
amenable to justice, and may be punished in the same
manner as if convicted as accessories to the felony."
No change was, however, made in the law so far
as it related to accessories after the fact, and conse-
quently, if the murderer escaped from justice, no
punishment could be inflicted on those who enabled
him to do so. Mr. BAINEs's clause will obviate this
defect in the law, and make both classes of acces-
sories subject to the like regulations. This most
beneficial enactment should, however, be made per-
manently, and not as a part of an Act which will ex-
pire in less than two years.

Indebted as the people of the United Kingdom are
to the exertions of Dr. SOUTHWOOD SMITH, of the
Marquis of NORMANBY, of the Earl of LiNcomq, and
of Viscount Monprrn, in the furtherance of the cause
of sanitary improvement, they are in no small mea-
sure indebted to the labour of Lord DUNCAN and
Mr. ROEBUCK for the abolition of the iniquitous tax
upon windows. We are induced to couple the two
projects together, from a reason similar to that which
induced the Commissioners at Gwydyr House, to de-
clare, last year, that no sanitary measure could be
regarded as perfect which did not entirely abolish
the window-tax. Without the removal of that into-
lerable obstruction the health of the community can
never obtain anything like adequate protection, for
upon the sufficiency and excellence of ventilation
the lives of the multitude are principally de-
pendent, and ventilation can never by any possbility
be effectual with an indifferent number of windows
in our dwelling-houses. For several years past
the representatives of Bath have recognised this ne-
cessity, and have advocated with consistency and
earnestness the destruction of this paramount obstacle
to ventilation. Now that Mr. ROEBUCK has been
prevented from entering the new Parliament through
the ingratitude of his late constituents, his noble
colleague is compelled to pursue the old system of
agitation without his customary assistance. At the
meeting of the delegates of the metropolitan parishes,
which occurred yesterday in the Court-house, Mary-
lebone, Lord DUNCAN again insisted upon the re-
markable advantages which must accrue to the com-
munity by the dissipation of those imposts which are,
perhaps, the most burdensome in the whole system
of taxation.

The intelligent mind of DuruTTREN has long since
demonstrated the intimate connexion which exists
between light and ventilation and the maintenance
of the healthy condition of the animal economy.
Without a proper supply of the light of heaven, and
of that atmosphere which is the chief source of
nourishment to men, disease must be prevalent and
death must be of unnatural frequency. Of all
the means which the DiviNivr has employed
for the support of life in the animal and
vegetable kingdoms, not one is so universal
and perpetual in operation as the air, which is alike
respired by the lungs of the one portion of creation
and by the leaves of the other. Considering how
requisite is the purity of the atmospheric gases for
the sustentation of both human and vegetable exist-
ence, considering the continual consumption which
is taking place in its constituent portions, and that
such an accurate equilibrium is essential between
those parts as shall leave 21 per cent. of oxygen,
and 79 per cent. of nitrogen, or azote, in
connexion with one-thousandth part of carbonic
acid—it is a matter at once of amazement and ad-
miration
that the atmosphere is everywhere else on the
surface of the globe, excepting in those localities in
which the ignorance of humanity has thwarted the
designs of OMNIPOTENCE, as pure as on the morning
of creation. The manner in which this has been
effected is depicted with considerable accuracy in a
pamphlet, recently published by Mr. MATHER, of
South Sheilds, who observes that this eternal puri-
fication is attributable to " the gentle airs
that undulate along earth's surface ; the winds
that blow through the atmosphere ; the storms and
hurricanes that rouse the aerial mass to its depth ;
the electric fluid that streams and flashes in it, agi-
tating its bosom and setting its clouds in motion ;
the different temperatures of the various climes, pro-
' polling it ever onward, seeking equilibrium and rest,
and finding everlasting motion ; the rivers, seas,
oceanic streams, and tides producing aerial currents ;
the sun's rays ; the great law of the diffusibility of
gases ; their various specific gravities, projecting some
into the higher regions, diffusing others in mid air,
and rolling along or sinking others in the ground ;
their absorption by water, aqueous vapour, clouds, or
rain ; and the actions of vegetable life, forming new
and healthful combinations." Such is the reciproca-
tion of activity which would invariably lead to the
nourishment of mankind through their most subtle
organs of respiration, but for the evils which
are permitted to accumulate in the vicinity of
their homes, and the cruel dispensations of the
Legislature in imposing a serious tax upon the
daylight and the atmosphere. By the total and im-
mediate abolition of the window-tax we can alone
hope to ensure to the multitude the benefits of sani-
tary improvement. Among the preliminary mea-
sures of this character, the most necessary for the
prevention of a frightful increase in the national mor-
tality are enactments having reference to the Asiatic
Cholera. The assertion made the other evening by
the Prime Minister, that the new Acts are un-
necessary because those of 1832 are still in
operation, proves to be altogether erroneous.
So far from the enactments, 2 William IV., c. 10
and 11, and 3 and 4 William IV., c. 75, being still
in force, they expired with the dissolution of the
very Parliament in which they originated. Some
additional measures are, indeed, absolutely requisite if
the Government would take the most ordinary pre-
cautions for the mitigation of one of the most destruc-
t ive scourges to which the human family is liable.

Switzerland, as to international law, and to the in-

tegrity and independence of the Confederation, acquired.
as the note expresses it, at the price of its blood and
guaranteed for ages past by Europe, as well as by the
treaties of Vienna. A brilliant serenade was given last
night to General Dufour, at which an immense crowd
was present. An address was then presented by the so
ciety of the Liederta fel to him, expressing their warm
admiration of the able manner in which he had fulfilled
the important duties confided to him as Commander-in-
Chief. The General returned a suitable reply, declaring
that all the merit of the late successful events was to be
attributed not to him but to the troops under his com-
mand; and still more to the Diet which had by its energy
proved that 'they knew how to put down insurrection at
home, as well as that it could successfully oppose in-
trigues coming from abroad. That body had shown to
the world that Switzerland was capable of causing itself
to be respected by foreign powers, and could repel all
attacks on her independence, from whatever quarter
they came.' Loud applause greeted these observations.
Colonel Ochsenbein gives to-day a grand dinner to the
General and to the principal officers of his staff."

A letter from Modena announces the arrival in that
city of the Archduke FERDINAND, brother of the
reigning Duke, and of his newly-married wife, the
Princess ELIZABETH. The Government, it is said,
had sent a body of troops to Ceserano and Fivizzano,
to prevent these places from being attacked by the
inhabitants of Pontremoli. It was rumoured at
Massa that the Duke of MODENA was about to arrive,
and to accord a general amnesty.

The Diario di Roma of the 27th ult. announces
that the appointment of Cardinal ALTIERI to the
Presidency of Rome and the Comarca, having vacated
the post of Secretary of Memorials, the POPE has
conferred it on Cardinal FERRETTI, Secretary of
State.

his submission. Already has General Lamoriciere, com-
mander of the division of Oran, repaired to the extreme
frontier, where he will no doubt be shortly joined by the
Duke d'Aumale. It was only after having exhausted all
means of entering into a negotiation with the Govern-
ment, by which all his overtures have been rejected, that
the Emir, whose position became more and more critical,
has resolved to essay a last attempt. He cannot expect
to treat with France as one sovereign treats with ano-
ther. He once did so, at a period now remote. We
may, consequently, suppose that Abd-el-Kader will make
his submission on certain conditions."

A letter from Cherbourg, of the 6th, gives the fol-
lowing statement of the works to be done during the
ensuing year in the building yards of that port:—
" The steam-frigate Sane, the first-class steam-cor-
vette, of 320 horse-power, the Colbert, and the steam-
corvette, the Newton, are to be completely finished.
An advice-corvette of 200 horse-power, to be called
the Milan, is to be laid down, and on to 8-24ths. A
20-gun brig, to be called the Obligado, will be car-
ried during the year up to 12-24ths. The Austerlitz,
ship of the line, will be advanced to 12-24ths ; the
third ship of the line the Tilsit to 16-24ths ; the
second-rate frigate the Bellone to 18-24ths ; and the
Euridice corvette to be finished within 3-24ths."

By an order of the Minister of Marine, issued
Nov. 29, the following new vessels will be laid on
the stocks at Rochefort in the course of 1848 :—The
Dugueselin, of 70 guns ; the Algeria, a frigate of the
third rank ; the Entreprenante, a frigate of the first
rank ; the Laborieux, a towing vessel of 220 horse
power. The following are to be completely
finished to the degree of forwardness men-
tioned below :—The Mogador steam-frigate will
be terminated and put in a position to
be armed if necessary; the Ulm, a vessel
of the first rank, will be carried up to the 22-
24ths ; the Semiramis, a frigate of the first rank, to
the 12-24ths ; the Flore and Circe, frigates of the
second rank, each to the 12-24 tbs ; the Constantine
corvette, to the 22-24ths; the Catinat steam-corvette,
of 400 horse-power, to 22.24ths ; the Coligny steam-
corvette, of 300 horse-power, to 22-24ths ; and a
vessel of the third rank, to be called the Alexandre,
will be put on the stocks and carried up to 4-24ths.
The man-of-war, the Ulm, and the Semiramis fri-
gate, will be fitted up with steam•engines. At
Lorient, the Minister has ordered that in the course
of 1848 the frigate of the first rank the Vengeance,
and the brig the Chasseur, shall be completely ter-
minated and launched ; a frigate of the first rank, the
Pallas, the floating battery the Protecteur, and the
brig Zebre, of 20 guns, are to be put on the stocks ;
the construction of the man-of-war of the second
rank Duguay-Trouin and the Annibal, the frigate of
the first rank the Entreprenante, the frigate of the
second rank the Dryade, the corvette the Thisbe, and
the steam-corvette, the Tisiphone, be advanced, The
Annibal and the Entreprenante will receive steam-
engines.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The SPRAYER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock.
Mr. M. ARCEMALL took the oaths and his seat for
the county of Fermanagh.
JEWISH DISABILITIES.
Mr. RICARDO presented a petition from Wor-
cester in favour of the repeal of the Jewish disa-
bilities.

ELECTION PETITION.
The SPEAKER stated that the recognizances in
the case of the petition against the return for Great
Marlow had been examined and found unobjection-
able.

JEWISH DISABILITIES.
Mr. E. GLADSTONE wished to know whether
it was the intention of the Noble Lord at the head of
the Government to bring forward his Bill for the re-
newal of the civil and religious disabilities of the
Jews on Thursday, as he had stated ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said that the Noble Lord would be in his place on
Monday, and it would be more satisfactory if he then
stated to the House the course he intended to pursue.
CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order of the day for bringing up the report
Noon this Bill being read,
Mr. J. O'CONNELL said that it was not his in-
tention to oppose the Bill upon that stage, seeing that
the sense of the House was so decidedly in favour of
the Bill. He hoped, however, that he should not be
considered as adopting a factious course if, upon the
third reading of the Bill, he should think it his duty
to take the sense of the House again upon the mea-
sure, more particularly with respect to the question
that the House had refused to adopt remedial mea-
sures before passing the Bill.

The report was then brought up and agreed to.
Sir G. proposed some verbal amendments
in one
of
which were agreed to. He also
tGheR
clauses,Eir
proposed to bring up a clause authorising the Lord-
Lieutenant to remove prisoners under sentence of
imprisonment from any gaol in which they might be
imprisoned, in case of fever or any other disease. In
the last session an Act was passed giving the Lord-
Lieutenant power to remove such prisoners, and it
was thought desirable to give the same power to
the Lord-Lieutenant under the present Bill, autho-
rizing him to remove prisoners from any gaol in any
of the proclaimed districts, leaving the expense of the
maintenance of the prisoners to be borne by the
barony, county, or district, from which the prisoners
were brought.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL wished to know whether
the clause would be confined to prisoners aftur con-
viction ?

Sir G. GREY said that it would. Under the
former Act it referred to an prisoners whatever.
Mr. J. U'CONNELL thought that in case of fever
or other disease the provision in question would be a
valuable one, and in case it would not increase the
severity of the measure, he had no objection to offer
to the insertion of the clause.
The clause was then agreed to, and the Bill ordered
to be read a third time on Monday next.
The House adjourned about twenty minutes past
Twelve till Four o'clock on Monday.

DREADFUL INCENDIARY FiltE IN ELTRAISL—Last
night, about the hour of eleven, a most terrific destruc-
tion of property commenced on the estate of a gentleman
named Clarke, residing at Eltham, in Kent. From the
information, obtained, it appeared that at half-past ten
o clock some persons were proceeding along the road,
and observed a sudden glare of light near the haystacks
of Mr. Clarke. An alarm was raised, and the inhabi-
tants were promptly on the spot, but from the inadequate
power of those present, till the arrival of an engine from
a parochial district, nothing stayed the progress of the
destructive element. About one o'clock the West of
England, several of the London Establishment, the
County, and several other engines from London arrived,
but unfortunately they could not be provided with the
necessary supply of water, having to supply each other
from a large ditch some distance from the flames ;
yet such were the exertions of the firemen, that not-
withstanding this great difficulty, the firemen saved the
dwelling house
as also the barn, but the sheds for the
reception of beasts, four stacks of hay, out-buildings,
and considerable other property were destroyed. At
three o'clock the firemen had succeeded in their efforts in
allaying any farther alarm, though it was necessary to
keep two engines working, to preserve five stacks of hay
left in jeopardy. It was ascertained that Mr. Clarke is
insured in the Sun fire•office, so that the object of the
incendiary in that respect will be thwarted. The loss
cannot be estimated at less than 7001. or 800/. The '
horse and foot metropolitan police rendered every assist-
ance.

Sir De Lacy Evans has been prevented by influ-
enza from voting for the Catholic Relief Bill, and the
Prevention of Assassination Bill, and against adjourn-
ments.

We are requested to state that Sir Montague J.
Cholmeley is prevented attending to his Parliamentary
(latices in consequence of having dislocated his shoulder
by an accident in hunting.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has con-

The great increase in the bullion, reserve of notes,
deposits, &c., suffices to prove that the Bank is fortified
for a long time to come, and that it is more likely to
have a difficulty in employing its funds than otherwise.
There are not any arrivals announced this day from
our colonial possessions. It is understood that as far as
the West India trade is concerned, that a more easy feel-
ing exists, under the full impression among its members
that the Government will propose to the Legislature
some measure of relief. How this is to be effected,
should such be the fact, is a point upon which no in-
formation to be relied upon has been made public.
It was known that the firm of Lysaght, Smithatt, and
Co. had yesterday afternoon suspended payment, and,
as reported, for 60,000/. to 70,0001. We understand
that the accounts given are much exaggerated. The
partners were engaged in the East India agency business
principally.
The Consol Market has been rather heavy this morn-
ing. The Account price has been at 84i, the half-year's
dividend off, and at 85i 86 for Money, with the dividend
on. The value of Exchequer-bills has remained
from ss. to Bs. premium. The prices quoted fer Bank
Stock to-day have been from 184 to 188 i.
Mexican Bonds have been steady at l7i the Spanish
Three per Cents. at 28i, and the Grenada One per Cents.
at 18-.
In the Railway Share Market there has not been any
business of interest transacted to-day.
