so many successive years by Mr. CHARLES VILLIERS,
inasmuch as the preservation of public health, by an
abundant supply of nutritious provisions, was dif-
ferent from the preservation of public health,
by abolishing nuisances of a very deleterious
and pernicious character. Facts are inces-
santly transpiring which demonstrate the im-
portance of some legislative interference in
this regard—facts which are infinitely more cogent
than the most lucid arguments of the journalist. In
pleading thus for some effort on the part of the Go-
vernment we are not striving to realise the pecuniary
advantages of any association of speculators—we are
not advocating the cause of some philosophic experi-
-1 mentalist—we are not demanding the trial of some
vague scheme for the aggrandisement of any one
portion of the community ; we are pleading for pure
air to those thousands of our fellow-citizens which
are pent up, from one year's end to the other, in the
populous streets and alleys of the metropolis. We
are pleading for decent interment for those fifty thou-
sand corpses which are annually borne over th 2
thresholds of this capital for sepulture. We are
pleading for the requisites of life and the sanctity of
death. •
Exposures are occurring almost every week, of
the vicious system upon which nearly all of our
intermural burial-grounds are regulated. It is now
well-known that the Spa-fields burial-ground is
not the only spot in which the earth is filled
to repletion with dead bodies. Other areas in
London present equally villanous spectacles.
The ground in these areas is not only sa-
turated with decomposed matter, they are
not merely stuffed with such an abundance of putre-
faction that the atmosphere is vitiated in their vicinity,
they are not merely exhaling pestilential vapours
during the rainy seasons, and reeking with an in-
supportable stench even during the summer months ;
but they are productive of consequences still more
horrible. The execrable scenes recently represented
in Friday- street burial-ground afford a lamentable
example of these consequences. It appears, that for
the purpose of making room for fresh carcasses, the
tombs are violated—the coffins are exhumed and
broken to pieces—the decayed bodies inside are
jumbled together like mere offal from the slaughter-
house, and are thus cast forth upon the neighbouring
dungheaps to rot in a more convenient and less costly
manner. Are these things to be permitted in a laud
enlightened by civilisation—we will not say in a
land blessed by Christianity ? Are the holiest sen-
timents of our nature, and the dearest associations of
our hearts to be thus destroyed for some ignoble and
sordid consideration ? Are the sensibilities of our
population to be thus blunted by rendering death
more loathsome than it is already, by connecting those
memories which should be revered and loved with
everything that is debasing and repulsive ? France,
Prussia, Spain, Austria, Italy, Russia, America, do
not exhibit any such spectacles ; and shall Great
Britain ? Paris, Vienna, Berlin, Madrid, Rome,
Philadelphia, St. Petersburgh, are, to say the very
least of them, unpolluted by such proceedings ; and
is it right that London should be crowded with these
abominations ? In Pere la Chaise the graves are
verdant, and many of them decorated with garlands
—in Spa-fields, according to Mr:WALKER, the grave-
diggers are sometimes up to their knees in masses of
corrupt flesh, stamping it down into a closer compass !
The church-yards of Wales and Switzerland are
perfect gardens—the burial-ground in Coleman-street
is described at this meeting of the Common Council
as " emitting, through holes made in the tomb-
stones, an effluvia which rendered the air pestilential
Not merely do these facts fill the public mind
with disgust, but they act in the most pre-
judicial manner upon public health. It is un-
deniable, and we may even say self-evident, that
they tend materially to increase the mortality of the
metropolis. Dr. LYNCH has condensed the whole
truth into the following emphatic lines :—" There
was to be seen," said he, " the narrow plot of ground
reeking with pestilence, its soil saturated with sul-
phuretted hydrogen and carbonic acid gas, its surface
strewed with bones and moist with matter and ex-
halations alike disgusting to the senses and destruc-
tive of health. That plague spot was hemmed in
with hovels, in which space was economised to the
verge of suffocation, and the narrow streets and cess-
pools aided the morbid exudation to percolate the
subsoil, and under the dwellings of the pow., by
which means fever, dysentery, scrofula, and con-
sumption were never absent." Frightful as that pic-
ture is, it is proved, by incontrovertible statistics, by
the bills of mortality, and by the statements of the
Sanatory Commissioners, to be no exaggeration. Nor
can it bear the semblance of exaggeration when it is
remembered that from forty to fifty graves are not
unfrequently opened in the course of a single day in
one of these horrible pits of interment.

Scarcely less pernicious in its effects upon the
health of the population is the nuisance of smoke,
whether arising from steam-engines or furnaces,
manufactories or other establishments. The atmos-

phere is thus impregnated with a multitude of dele-
terious particles, and the lungs are compelled to
inhale large quantities of carbon. Instead of oxy-
genising the venous blood_by respiration, we are
absolutely drinking in a kind of diluted poison. It
is not surprising that contagious diseases are so pre-
valent in this vast capital when we consider the

amount of impurities mingled with its vital atmo-
sphere. If only as an unsightly superfluity this nuisance
should he immediately abolished. The manufacturers,
and the like, should be compelled, under penalty, to
resort to those simple scientific contrivances by
which smoke can be consumed, and which con-
trivances are in very general application at
Liverpool and elsewhere. Nearly all the principal
architectural beauties of London are tarnished, if not

entirely concealed, by the crusts of dirt deposited by this
smoke nuisance. Even the Nelson Column and the

new Palace at Westminster are becoming dingy
under its influence, before their completion. It is
not, however, with simply " an eye to appearances"
that we are so desirous for the abatement of this
nuisance ; it is because smoke and burials within

towns are productive of infinitely greater evils. It is
because we are assured that upon their prohibition
depend the comfort, the happiness, the morality, and
the lives of thousands. Hence we are deeply re-
joiced at these resolutions of the Court of Common

Council; and we look with the most earnest anxiety

for the development of those sanatory schemes pro.

raised to the people by Lord JOHN RUSSELL when
last the Premier stood upon the hustings at Guild-

hall. The proof of the excellence of those sanatory
measures will double the popularity of the present
Government, and lessen the mortality in an almost

equal proportion.

Accounts from Palermo state that all the roads of
Sicily are so infested by brigands that travellers are
frequently stopped and robbed in the open day, even
at the very gates of large towns.

Madrid papers of the 19th have arrived. They
contain the conclusion of the debate on the address
and the result, which is already known.
The Heraldo says that the Due DE MONTPENSIER,
" out of a respect for Parliamentary priyileges,"
would not leave Paris until the result of the debate
was known. The 21st was fixed on as the day when
Mr. BULWEE was to present his protest against the
marriage of the INFANTA. This protest is, it is said,
couched in the strongest terms.
The dispensations from Rome for both marriages
had arrived at Madrid.

Count BRESSON, the French Ambassador, on hear.
ing of the protest of Don ENRIQUE, waited on the
QUEEN and demanded that the young Prince should
be banished from the Spanish territory for
ten years. Is Spain already become a pro-
vince of • France that a French Ambassador, act-
ing the part of Viceroy, orders the banishment of a
Prince of the blood for 10 years ?
The Carlist insurrection in Catalonia is rapidly in-
creasino and Thursday last was, it is said, the day
fixed for a general Carlist rising in all the northern
provinces.

MADRID BOLSA, SEPT. 19.—The Three per Cents.
were done at 36} for cash ; the Four per Cents. at
22 ; the Five per Cents. at 22i ; the Debt without
interest, at 6g; and the Coupons at 202.

We have received the Paris papers of Thursday.
The Government received on Wednesday a tele-
graphic dispatch from Madrid, supposed to have an-
nounced the fact that Mr. BULWER had, in the name
of his Government, formally protested against the
))dontpeusier marriage. A Cabinet Council was im-

mediately held, and, if we are to judge of the result
of their deliberations from the article on the subject
of the Montpensier marriage which apilears in the
Journal des Dibats, the French Government is de-
termined to proceed at all ht'zards. " The French
Government," says the Dgbats, " has the right to do
what it is doing, and it will maintain that right. It
will not allow itself to be moved by jealous clamours.
The Duke DE MONTPENSIER has been freely
chosen by Spain as the husband of the INFANTA.
The marriage of the Duke DE MONTPENSIER will take
place ! Without fear and without boasting, the Go-
vernment will go on (passera outre)." And after
some bitter attacks on the Opposition papers, it thus
concludes :—"The Duke DE MONTPENSIER marries
in Spain ; he espouses the sister of the QUEEN ; his
marriage is glorious for the dynasty, glorious for
France ; it happily puts an end to the question of
the marriage of the Spanish Princesses, which ap-
peared like a gauntlet suspended over Europe; it
secures two things—the triumph of constitutional
principles and the perpetuity of French blood in
Spain. Every one feels and appreciates the grandeur
of this alliance. The Opposition alone, in all its
shades, and according to the measure of the parties
who compose it, exclaim, blacken, threaten, excite the
Spanish Progressists to arms, partake in and foment the
jealous spite of some foreign journals. Shall we pre-
vent their continuing their course ? Certainly not."
In the meantime the preparations for the marriage
proceed, and the Duc DE MONTPENSIER has himself
addressed the following letter to the Minister of
Public Instruction :--
" I am about, Monsieur le Ministre, to beg you, in
consideration of my approaching marriage, to grant a
week's holiday to the pupils of the different colleges of
the University. It will be pleasing to me to be able thus
to remind them, on an occasion so interesting to myself,
that I have been, on the same benches, the fellow-pupil
of their predecessors. My brothers, from the same feel-
ing, and under similar circumstances, solicited and ob-
tained the same favour from your predecessors and from
yourself. Accept, Monsieur le Ministre, the renewed
assurance of all my sentiments towards you.—Your
affectionate, " ANTOINE D'ORLEANS."
It is needless to add that the Minister has complied
with the request.
We yesterday stated that the Duc DE MONTPEN-
SIER had signified his intention to refuse a dotation
which the Spanish Cortes might vote to his bride!
On this subject the National jeeringly observes :
" Great news ! M. Bresson at Madrid has received
orders to declare that the Duke de Montpensier re-
nounces the dotation which might be voted to his future
bride ! This generosity, it is said, must confound the
entire opposition of Spain ! It is enough, in fact, to
excite ecstacies I But let us look a little further. Fer-
dinand left to his two daughters seventeen millions of
piastres, which is equal to 85,000,000 f. The Spanish
Treasury has hitherto assigned to the Infanta an annual
provision of 250,000 f. Would it continue this to a
Princess who has become a Frenchwoman ? This is
very doubtful, for no one can tell how the next elections
for the Cortes may go. At all events the discussion of
this unpopular marriage would be renewed. It is con-
sequently an hypothsis which has been yielded to !
But the moiety of the 85,000,000 f. is a reality care-
fully preserved. Besides, in thirteen years, 42,500,0001.
must have been greatly increased. This is an
invincible temptation —so much money already
securely and productively invested ! What ! when
the Spanish Treasury is largely in arrear, and when the
claimant is out of Madrid, must a regular formal demand
of payment be made by a summoning officer ! Oh, fie !
no ; we will behave nobly. We will relinquish the pro-
vision of 250,000 f., and be content with the private for-
tune' I Why, however, is it carried to only 30,000,000 f. ?
Oh ! Queen Christina has had the guardianship for 13
years, and the trust of 85,000,000 f. causes much trouble.
Then, Madame Munoz has had many mishaps ; she has
been running about the world ; she has eight children
by her second husband ; she has had to bribe insurrec-
tions ; she has been a partner in banking-houses, and
one of these in Paris has lately caused her a loss of
10,000,000 f. She also, in her turn, has been a rival in
generosity. Take 30,000,000 f., and call for no account
of the trust. The bargain was so good for both parties
that it was concluded without haggling ! But we have
at one stroke renounced a doubtful dotation of 250,000 f. !
Shade of Louis XIV. ! thou still hoverest over thy de-
scendants !"
In another article the National throws the whole
blame of the existing complications on M. GUIZOT.
" Only fancy," says the National, "M. GUIZOT
allowed the KING of the FRENCH to believe that the
marriage of the Duc DE MONTPENSIER had been
accepted. Louis PHILIPPE thought that the Queen
of ENGLAND followed for a long time the phases of
that negotiation, and he was amazed when he found
that she never suspected such a thing. To conclude
an affair of this kind without saying a word to a
friendly Cabinet, to an allied Government, is a very
cavalier proceeding, and one at which England is
offended. M. Guizoz concealed the thing from every
one. He has hurt the feelings of England by not
consulting her. He has, besides, deceived the Km*
in letting him believe that diplomatic communica-
tions on that subject had taken place, and in making
him believe that Lord ABERDEEN had consented to
the marriage."
Speaking of the conduct of M. GUIZOT in thus
wantonly breaking up the entente cordiale, it says—
" If his policy had any sense, it was the intimate alli-
ance with England from which it was derived. And
what is he doing at present ? He assumes the responsi-
bility of a marriage which changes the good relations
between the two Governments. He wishes to accom-
plish this act, which was conceived, prosecuted, and
executed without the knowledge of England by a sur-
prise and against her will. Ile commits against Lord
Palmerston the identical fault with which he had so
warmly reproached that Noble Lord during his embassy
to London. He inflicts a wound at pleasure on the
self-love of the British Cabinet. He excites the suscep-
tibilities of the nation, and he succeeds so well that
Queen Victoria herself feels offended, and complains
with a certain bitterness. What superior interest,
therefore, could have decided M. Guizot to commit so
giddy a bravado and so grave a provocation—an act so
inconsistent on his part? Where can ho now find the
force from which he derived his existence? Is it Chris-
tina or Narvaez that can render to his system what the
marriage deprives him of in England? Is our foreign
policy about to change its principles? Who will defend
it—who will protect it? If we can dispense with Eng-
land, we have been imposed on during the last fifteen
years. We were told falsehoods in 1840, and the Duke
de Broglie's speech in 1845 was but a fallacy. All the
speeches of M. Guizot were a tissue of falsehoods. There
was, therefore, no necessity to fly Tangiers as if van-
quished, and to pay for our glory there. There was no
necessity to follow the English to Texas, and to invent
the balance of power in America. The Pritchard in-
demnity was, therefore, but a useless infamy. Either,
therefore, all that we have seen is a dream—all that rye
have heard is an illusion, or M. Guizot, who so openly
breaks with the British alliance, is the most insane and
the most inconsistent of Ministers. It appears difficult
to us that M. Guizot should long survive his triumph.
Perhaps even had he,any feeling of real pride remain-
ing, he would not wait to be immolated ! But he is
rivetted to the car. The marriage must be accomplished,
as well as all the other destinies ; and, perhaps, the
epitaph of the great policy may serve as the epithala-
mium of this glorious hymen."
The Courrier Francais says that the ilfoniteur will
publish shortly an authentic apt, in which the

Due DE MONTPENSIER will declare in the most ex-

panions in exile, to be confined in the departmental
gaol."

Notwithstanding all these precautiens, however,
General MONTENEGRO, the best artillery officer in the
Carlist service, has managed to escape, and to join
the Count DE MONTEMOLIN, as has Senor MoN, his
secretary.
A large body of troops have been ordered to con..
centrate at Toulouse, and dispatches of a very pressing
nature have been sant from Toulon per Castor steamer,
to the Prince DE JOIN VILLE, who is cruizing in the
Gulf of Spezzia.
The Courrier Francais and the Constitutionnel
both find fault with the abandonment of the Protec-
torate of France over the Society Islands.
It appears by the following extract of a letter
from Toulon, published in the Constitutionnel, that
hostilities are on the point of commencing between
ADD-RL-KADER and the Emperor of Moaocco :-
" Great preparations are being made on both
sides ; but the activity displayed in those critical
circumstances by the Emir are incredible. Succours of
every description have arrived to him from the most re-
mote provinces of the empire. Abderrahman, on the point
playing his last stake, has, if we are rightly informed,
demanded the armed intervention of France ; but we
understand that the latter merely promised to assemble a
considerable corps of troops on the frontier of Algeria,
in order to cut off all retreat from the partisans of Abd-
el-Kader, in case they should be beaten on the other side
of the Tafna, and seek refuge on our territory. The
French Government does not appear inclined to interfere
openly in the contest about to take place between Abder-
rahman and Abd-el-Kader, but it has pledged itself to
forward supplies of every sort to its ally, and a battery
of six pieces of artillery with their caissons, destined
for the Moorish army, is actually on its way to Toulon,
where it is to arrive on the 27th and to embark on the
28th, in the steam-frigate sailing on that day for Algiers.
This battery will be sent as quickly as possible to Oran,
to be delivered by General Cavaignac to the Emperor's
agent, or directly forwarded to Tangiers. Each piece is
accompanied by a chief gunner or instructor, who will
probably enter the service of the Emperor."

THE PRIVY COUNCIL.—A special train was or-
dered at two o'clock at the Paddington station of the
Great Western Railway, to convey the Cabinet
Ministers to Slough, on their way to Windsor Castle,
to attend the Privy Council appointed to be held by
her Majesty this afternoon, at three o'clock. Lord
John Russell, Lord Minto, Sir George Grey, Lord
Morpeth, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and other
Ministers, were expected to proceed by the train.
Lord John Russell, it is expected, will remain to
dine with her Majesty and the royal circle at the
Castle, and continue on a visit until Monday next.

CRIMINAL COURT-(THIS DAY

OLD COORI:

(Before Mr. Justice MAULE and Mr. Baron PLATT.)
RAPE.— William Keppell, aged 40, an Irish labourer,
was charged with having violated the person of Mary
Haley, a child, aged 11 years.
The evidence of the surgeon proved that the felony
had not been committed.

Mr. Justice MAULE summed up, and
The jury at once found a verdict of Not Guilty.
The prisoner was discharged.
Martin Ryan, a porter, aged 29, was charged with
having committed a similar offence on Ann Ware.
This case was peculiarly atrocious, inasmuch as the
girl was idiotic. The poor creature appeared in court,
but no answer could be elicited to any of the questions
put by the Learned Judge. The exhibition was so pain-
tul, that Mr. Baron Platt almost immediately requested
the father to take her away.
The surgeon proved that a felonious assault had been
committed, and other witnesses stated that they disco-
vered the prisoner in bed with the unfortunate girl.
The prisoner called no witnesses.
Mr. Baron PARKE summed up, and the jury returned
a verdict of Guilty.
Mr. Baron PLATT then, after a feeling and impressive
address, sentenced the prisoner to transportation for life.
The prisoner, on the sentence being given, exclaimed,
" Oh, that is too hard, my Lord—that is quite too
hard."
Mr. Baron PLATT—No, not too hard, considering the
heinous offence you have been guilty of.
Prisoner—Oh, quite too hard; and I'm innocent too.
The prisoner was then removed to the cells.

NE W COURT.
(Before the COMMON SERGEANT.)
Eliza Miller, a damsel of easy virtue, was indicted for
stealing a gold watch, value 201., the property of Wm.
Edward Gibb, in a dwelling-house.
From the evidence adduced, it appeared that the pro-
secutor, who is in the army, on the 12th of the present
month had been dining out, and having taken too much
wine, he was returning home, when he met with the
prisoner and went with her to a house of ill fame. After
remaining with her some time he left, having forgotten
his watch, which he had laid on the table. Upon recol-
lecting that he had left his watch behind him he returned
to the house, but found the prisoner and his watch gone.
The prisoner, on the same evening, went to a pawn-
broker named Dolree, and offered the watch to pledge
for 51. The pawnbroker inquired whose it was, and
upon the prisoner stating that it was her husband's, he
desired her to bring him, and detained the watch.
Ultimately the prisoner was taken into custody, sbe
asserting that the prosecutor had given her the watch.
Mr. Clarkson appeared for the prosecution.
Mr. Horn was counsel for the prisoner, and con-
tended that the prosecutor, being intoxicated, might
have given her the watch without recollecting it.
The COMMON-SERGEANT having summed up the case,
the jury found the prisoner Guilty, and
The COURT sentenced her to four months' imprison-
ment in the House of Correction, and hard labour.

BOW-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
Patrick .Nyland, the Irishman, who has been so often
remanded on the charge of throwing two bricks from
the roof of a house in the Strand, and seriously injuring
Mr. Harvey and Miss Tomkins, who were passing at
the time, was finally brought before Mr. Idenry this
morning. _

It appeared that both Mr. Harvey and Miss Tornkins
were now out of danger, and that neither of them in-
tended to appear against the prisoner.
Mr. HENRY therefore discharged him, but warnedihim
that if either party had died he would have been tried
for manslaughter.

MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY.)
George Huddlestone, a boy about 16 years of age, was
put to the bar charged with turning to account the su-
perstition of the people of Tottenham-court-road.
Police-constable E 166 said he was on duty in Totten-
ham-court•road last night between ten and eleven
o'clock, and saw a large crowd about Tottenham. court-
road Chapel, collected by a number of boys, who gave
out there was a ghost astir. Shortly one and another of
the ghost-seers began to find that their pockets had been
lightened, and to complain to the police. He said he
watched the boys in the crowd, and distinctly saw the
one at the bar with his hand in a lady's pocket.
The defendant denied the charge made against him.
Mr. HARDWICK remanded him till Tuesday, that in-
quiry might be made about his character.

THE YoccA GLORIOSO.—Four of these beautiful
plants are now in flower at the Surrey Zoological Gar-
dens. It is supposed the extreme dryness and warmth
of the weather has occasioned such an unusual occur-
rence. These plants are " miniature aloes," shooting
their flower stems from the centre of the plant exactly
after the fashion of the aloe, and the shape of the stem
and form of the petals are very similar. The flower stem
grows to the height of eight or ten feet.
The Baron Itehausen, Charge d'Affaires for Sweden
and Norway, with his suite, arrived in this country yes-
terday morning, by the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's mail-packet John Bull, from Hamburgh.
SPLENDID METEOR.--The most brilliant and re-
markable specimen of a " shooting star" that we recol-
lect to have ever witnessed passed over the metropolis
last night. At fifteen minutes to ten the atmosphere
became suddenly lighted up with an intense glare, fully
as strong as the brightest moon-light, but of a lurid
blueish tinge, and the attention of every one who hap-
pened to be in the open air was immediately attracted to
the magnificent phenomenon passing over head. The
meteor first made its appearance in. the shape of a
globe of fire, a little south of the zenith, and shot
across the heavens towards the north, until it be-
came extinguished after passing a few degrees beyond
the polar star, and then the fiery train which it left
behind appeared broken into two; the shorter
part being nearest to the nucleus and disappearing first
after it, whilst the remaining part, which seemed to be
more than twenty degrees in length, retained its vivid
brightness for about thirty seconds. The most singular
feature in the phenomenon was then observed. The
train, which had been changing gradually from the
bright phosphoric white to a dull red, assumed a ser-
pentine appearance, which soon changed into a semi-
circular one, and perfectly resembled a cluster of minute
stars, gradually becoming fainter and fainter until, after
a lapse of nearly five minutes, it quite vanished. The
phenomenon excited very general interest. The atmos-
phere was beautifully clear, and several shooting stars
on a small scale were observed during the evening.
A laburnum tree is now in full bloom in the
garden of Mr. Barnes, jun., in South-street ; such an
instance at this period of the year, not being remem-
bered by the oldest arborist in our neighbourhood, ex-
cept this season.—Dorset Chronicle.
EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY.—Some person or per-
sons entered the tower of Crowle Church, a few nights
ago, and took away the hands from the parish clock. A
reward of 104 is offered by the Vicar, the Rev. Mr. Dun-
combe, for the detection of the offending party.—Don-
caster Chronicle,

The Post-office authorities are now most stringently
carrying out the last notice as to Post-office orders.
With the view of affording the fullest information to
those who may want to avail themselves of the facilities
in this respect, we may usefully insert here the follow-
ing extract from the General Post-office notification
Great inconvenience having been produced, owing
to the neglect of parties who obtain or receive money
orders in not attending strictly to the regulations laid
down for their guidance, the public are requested, when
applying for the payment of money orders, to comply
strictly with the rules laid down in the money order it-
self ; and when obtaining money orders, to take care
that the full christian and surnames of the persons in
whose favour the money orders are obtained, as well
as their own, together with their address and occupa-
tion, are properly given, and that the names are correctly
spelt, as should these precautions not be complied-with,
payment of the money order, when it is presented, must
be refused."
We are practicably enabled to confirm the fact stated
as to the " inconvenience" from parties not attending to
the requests of the Post-office authorities, but to demand
the Christian names of all parties in a firm, in whose
favour a Post-office order is obtained, and sent, seems
