laving referred so repeatedly to the advantages
accruing from the employment of a deodorizing and
disinfecting fluid, it is but reasonable that we should
in some measure explain the proportions and pro-
perties of the different ingredients. From experi-
ments recently made in the Observatoire of Paris, it
has been conclusively shown that the use of simple
sulphate of iron is altogether ineffectual in preventing
the deleterious exhalations arising from the decompo-
sition of animal matter. Another preparation was
found to be absolutely necessary for the purification
of a vitiated atmosphere. M. LEDOYEN and Sir
WILLIAM BURNET have proved that the discovery of
some such substitute was practicable, and a recent com-
munication from Mr. FORDRED, published in the
columns of a medical contemporary, explains how
that substitute may be manufactured with facility
and with comparatively little expense.* That the
employment of such a compound is almost miracu-
lously beneficial has been attested by the various
experiments made at Brussels, at Paris, at Liverpool,
in the metropolis, and elsewhere. Nor are the ad-
vantages produced by the application of the disinfect-
ing fluid merely partial or temporary, they are
declared to be complete, instantaneous, and
permanent, upon the authority of Mr. CHARLES
ELLERMAN. And besides destroying the effluvia and
vapours which are found to be so prejudicial to
health, the liquid changes these pestiferous substances
into the most nutritious of all manures. It has been
demonstrated by THENARD and DUPUYTREN ti,
when the air is infected by 1-300th part of :.11:
phuretted hydrogen the life of man ceases ; that
when it is infected by 1-1000th part dogs are suf-
focated; and that birds expire when it is infected by
merely 1-1,500 th part. So destructive is tliii terrible
gas And it is this gas which is principally evolved
from the drains and cesspools from the decay of the
feculent matter accumulated therein—the aaote
changing into ammonia, and the sulphur into
sulphuretted hydrogen. Now these pernicious
evaporations are altogether prevented by the
employment of the disinfecting fluid, that
fluid neutralizing the deleterious gases by
changing them into salts, and by so doing materially
enhancing the value of the putrescent matter for agri-
cultural purposes. How far this assertion is correct
is shown by the emphatic declaration of JUSTUS
LIMO (see Agricutural Chemistry, p. 365), that
" all the qualifications necessary for agricultural
purposes are to be found in solid and liquid feculent
matter; they not only containing ammonia, but
alkali, silicates, phosphorates, and sulphates, in the
proportions requisite for cultivation." Left, however,
in a state of gradual decomposition, the feculent
matter has an injurious instead of a nutritive effect
upon vegetation, the leaves and even the stalks of
plants being blighted by the copious disengagement
of sulphuretted hydrogen. By the infusion of the
disenfecting fluid therefor, the sulphuretted hydro-
gen is changed into a salt which imparts a new ex-
cellence to the soil as a manure."

The extensive application of the liquid to which we
have alluded would consequently be productive of a
twofold advantage. It would purify the air in the

_ -
most pestilential localities, and tend to the develop-
ment of our agricultural resources. It would dimi-
nish disease and increase vegetation. It would
lighten the responsibilities of the Sanitary Commis-
sioners, and render the arable land throughout the
country more productive. If anything deserves the
encouragement of the Health of Towns and Health
of London Associations, it is this. If anything merits

a legal tender in every part of the country,
except at the principal office of the Bank itself.
By this means the dangerous consequences
of a run for gold would be greatly mitigated. The
only reasonable objection that could be offered against
the circulation of one-pound notes throughout the
country is the possible results in the case of a panic,
or at a period of great political excitement. In order
to avoid this shadow, real evil is encountered. In
consequence of the subtraction of the small-note cur-
rency, no less than 10,000,000/. sterling, in gold and
silver is used merely as a token in passing from
hand to hand. We venture to affirm that if one pound
notes were sanctioned, the tenth part, or, under the
most unfavourable circumstances, the fifth part of that
amount would be amply sufficient for every purpose,
and that at the very least 40,000,0001. might be given
to the Bank in exchange for small notes. How
greatly would this improve the position and add to
the stability of that corporation, supposing, exempli
gratia, that 20,000,0001. of notes had been issued from
the issue department, the amount in gold in their
coffers should, according to the terms of the Act, be
6,000,0001. This would give a proportion of but
thirty per cent. of bullion to the paper issued against
it, or only six shillings in the pound, a rather
discreditable dividend if the Bank were called
on to pay ; but if we further take into
account the amount of the deposits, public and pri-
vate, which on the average may be taken at from
fifteen to sixteen millions sterling, every farthing of
which should also be paid in gold, if demanded, we
should ad that proportion still further reduced, and
that the dividend in gold would not much exceed
3s. 6d. in the pound—a melancholy instance, as
some of our contemporaries would say, of over-
trading and over-speculation, and of the impolicy of
investing capital in investments not immediately con-
vertible. Now, if small notes were sanctioned, and
even 20,000,000/. (only one-half of the 40,000,0001.),
were exchanged therefor at the Bank, we should find
that there would be 28,000,000/. of gold against
40,000,0001. of notes, or 65 per cent., and if the fifteen
millions of deposits were added to the former, there
would still be twenty-six millions of gold against
fifty-five millions of liabilities of every description, or
nearly 48 per cent. We need scarcely say which
would be the safer position for the Bank, or in which
case there would be the greatest probability of their
being unable to meet every demand upon them in
specie.
We have put forward the above, in order to show
the unnecessary stringency of the present laws, and
that much of the suffering which has taken place
might have been avoided without the principle of a
convertible currency being in any manner touched
upon. We do not, however, conceive that anything
but en issue of State paper, an ample currency which
will be received in payment of all the national
burdens of taxation and duties of every de-
scription, and which will be secured on
ail the national resources, will ever be effectual
or give permanent prosperity to tl:e country, and save
us from the fluctuations to which we have been pe-
riodically exposed, and which have had such injurious
results. We would again direct the attention of our
readers to Russia, where there was no attempt to
alter the nature of the currency after the war ;
they kept the paper out, and it is out to
this time, and answers all the internal wants
of the country ; and Lord ASHBURTON, one
of the most able financiers of this or any other land,
in his evidence before the Committee of the House
of Commons on agrieulture in 1836, stated it as his
opinion that "by doing so they had kept money in
pretty tolerable steadiness." We have seen the
result which has allowed the AUTOCRAT to invest,
since the month of March last, 6,600,0001. in
the French and English funds, and to lend two mil-
lions sterling in addition to the Bank of England
at the present crisis. Notwithstanding which, an
enormous amount of bullion is still remaining in his
hands. "low long will the British nation suffer its
prosperity to be frittered away, and its children
pauperised and exposed to every species of privation,
from an obstinate adherence to theories, and to a
system that has occasioned such wide-spread misery
