VENTILATION AND LIGHT.

30. Is sufficient attention paid to the ventilation of
workshops and houses occupied by the poor in your dis-
trict ? _ _ _

31. Is the neglect of it productive of demoralisation,
such al drunkenness, &c. ? _ .

32. It is proved that the want of ventilation is a pro-
lific source of disease, such as fever, consumption, scro-
fula, &c., among the inhabitants. Do you think that
public means should be adopted for promoting a proper
system of ventilation in all edifices for public assem-
blage and resort, especially those for the education of
youth ?
33. It is likewise proved by the evidence taken by the
Health of Towns Commission, that overcrowding in
common lodging houses in poor neighbourhoods is a
prolific source of disease and demoralisation. Are you of
opinion that such lodging-houses should be placed under
inspection and controul ?
34. Do you think that in the construction of dwel-
lings for the poor, provision for the efficient admission
of light (especially solar light) and air should be en-
forced ?

35. Do you think it would be desirable to give power
to parishes, or to the local administrative bodies, to
raise money to purchase property for the purpose of
owing thoroughfares whereby both light and air would
bwmore freely admitted into the abodes of the poor?
36. Can you suggest any plan reconcileable with the
feelings of the poor to remedy the evil of keeping the
bodies of their dead (frequently for a week or upwards)
in th'e same room with the living?

STREET CLEANSING,
37. How often are the streets, courts, and alleys
cleansed in your di.trict, and by what means?
38. Are they effectually cleansed?
32. Are the habits of the people as to cleanliness af-
fected by the condition of the streets, alleys, &c.
40. What is the reason that in some parts of the me-
tropolis the street, courts, and alleys are cleansed daily,
while in others they are only cleansed at indefinite and
irregular periods?
41. Are those courts which are private property
cleansed by the public scavengers?
42. Ought mews to be kept as clean as the streets?
43. If the public thoroughfares were skilfully con-
structed, proper attention being paid to surface drain-
age, and efficient kennelling, would there, in your opi-
nion, be a diminution in the price to be paid for cleans-
ing them?

INTERMENT IN TOWNS.

44. Is not interment in towns frequently attended with
desecration of the dead, as well as with outrage on public
decency, and is not the frequent disturbance of the.earth
in churchyards, saturated with the gases of decomposing
animal matter, deleterious to health ?

BATHS AND WASHHODSES.

47. The Legislature having passed art Act to autho-
rise municipal authorities and vestries to establish baths
nd washhouses for the poor at very low rates of pay-
ment, are you of opinion that they should be brought
into use in your locality without delay ?
48. Would you recommend baths being introduced
into parish and union workouses and hospitals, not as
a remedial measure only, but to promote the health and
cleanliness of the inmates ?

49. Do you think that habits of uncleanliness are pro•
ductive of demoralisation ?

50. Should it not be an object of the Legislature to
encourage the spirit of commercial enterprise in the
execution of the measures for sanatory improvement ?
51. If the expense for sanatory improvements should
be charged upon properties, and be distributed over a
term of yeare, coequal with the probable duration of the
works, and if a special rate of small amount be levied
upon the occupiers until the capital and interest shall
have been repaid—do you think the burden would be
felt by the people ? _

ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH., WESTERN RAILWAY.-
On Saturday last an accident of a most alarming cha-
racter occurred at the Pinner station of the above rail-
way. Between one and two o'clock in the afternoon a
policeman, named Charles Chadband, was on duty at
the station, and giving signals to a luggage train which
was coming up amidst an unusual noise, and in turning
round he was struck by the buffers of a pilot engine, and
knocked down, and the wheels passed over his feet.
The poor fellow is greatly bruised about the head,
being cut in severs': places, besides sustaining the loss of
three of his toes and other injuries. The injuries about
the head are stated by the surgeon at the University
Co:lege Hospital, to which institution he was at once re-
moved, to be of a dangerous character.
NOT GIVEN TO CHANGE. —An elderly maiden
lady, Miss Symons, died at her residence in Park-row
last week, at the advanced age of 86. Miss Symons
!las. born in the house in which she died, and never,
Sag the period of her long life, resided in any other.
The same rooms, to use a figurative expression, bad
seen her an infant and a decrepit old woman.—Bristol

Loss or WRIGHT ON COTTON.—The American
Chamber of Commerce of Liverpool has communicated
to the Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures of this
town, and also the Manchester Commercial Association
the following resolutions Complaints having been
made of the frequent loss of weight on cotton imported
from the United States, and it having been represented
that in many instances this loss arises from inoicing
eorton jilq weights ascertained when it is first revceived

HEALTH -0-F LONDON ASSOCIA-

TION.
The following queries are now in course of circulation
by this association, upon a sheet containing space for the
ansvvers to be annexed:—

SICKNESS AND DISEASE.
1. Have you observed sickness and disease to arise
from badly-constructed and ill-ventilated dwelling., from
imperfect sewage, and from bad cleansing of the streets,
courts, and alleys ?
2. Have the poor power to remedy these evils ?
3. Are there any nuisances existing, or are there any
offensive trades carried on in your locality, such as
tallow-boiling, slaughtering of cattle, pig-styes, the
burning and boiling et animal or vegetable matter, &c.?
4. In your neighbourhood are there any noxious or
offensive chemical works, especially lead, colour, mercu-
rial, and water-gildinl, factories ?
5. if so, have you found them injuriously affecting the
health of those engaged in them, or of the neighbour-
hood ?
6. Would it be advantageous to the public, that an in-
spector of nuisances and a public officer of health should
be appointed ?
7. Do you approve of the establishment of a council
of health to watch over the sanatory condition of cities
and towns, with power to rectify all those evils which are
removable, and which are prejudicial to health ?
8. In the evidence collected on the sanatory condi-
tion of the labouring classes by the Poor-law Com-
missioners, and by the Government health of towns
Commission, it is therein stated, that it would be
a pecuniary saving to the rate-payers to remedy at the
parish expense, the insufficient drainage, the bad
cleansing, and the imperfert ventilation of houses, work-
shops, and public buildings, inasmuch as sickness, and
the evils attendant thereon, entail heavy burdens on the
public, not only through voluntary institutions, such as
hospitals, dispensaries, &c., but add to the increase of
poor-rates. Do you agree in this opinion ?

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.)

GILL V. LORD CURZON.
This case, which was in part heard yesterday, was
resumed this morning. After the cue had been pro-
ceeded with for some time,
The LORD CHIEF BARON intimated, that in consequence
of the order obtained during the progress or the
action, from Lord Langdale, by the application of the
defendant for the purpose of taxing the bill of costs of
the plaintiff in the present action, he was not quite
certain but that the whoie of the proceedings which had
already been taken in this court should have been dis-
pense d with. It was his opinion that the interpretation
to be given to the order of Lord Langdale was that the
question of liability should first be tried, and if decided
against the defendant, then the amount of the verdict •
to be regulated according to the taxation.
After a short discussion, it was arranged that the
matter should be referred to Mr. Willis, ith power to
call to his assistance the services of one Of the officers cf
the taxing master.

GREAGHTY v. BARNARD.
This was an action to recover a balance alleged to be
due from the defendant for professional, travelling, and
hotel charge, connected with a survey of three miles
and three quarters of the South Midlands and South-
ampton Junction Railway, of which defendant was en-
gineer.
It appeared that the plaintiff had been engaged to com-
plete the survey at the rate of 25/. per mile, but that
when surveying some land, the property of the Duke of
Buckingham they were ordered off by his Grace. They,
however, were convicted of trespass, and placed in "du-
rance vile" by some officers of the law. A representa-
tion of these circumstances was made by the plaintiff to
the defendant, who informed him that the survey must
be completed, no matter at what cost. Accordingly,
some fifty persons were employed, who, armed with sticks,
made the survey at night. The expense of employing
the additional force formed a considerable item in the ac-
count of the plaintiff.
The LORD CHIEF BARON said it was very clear that
the plaintiff could not recover for any charge of that
kind. The hiring of a band of ruffians to commit an
act of trespass could not be sanctioned in any court
of law.
Mr. MARTIN, on the part of the defendant, contended
that the sum of 180/. 165., which had been paid to the
plaintiff, was ample remuneration for the services ren-
dered by him. A contract was entered into at the rate
of 251. per mile, including all expenses.
Witnesses were then called on the part of the defence,
who stated that the custom of the profession was, that
when a contract war entered into to survey by the mile,
it included all expenses whatever.
Mr. WHATELEY, in reply, contended that the contract
was to pay 251. a mile and all expenses ; and now the
work was done, it was most unfair to turn round and
saddle the plaintiff with expenses which he incurred at
the express direction of the defendant.
The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, the jury
returned a verdict for the plaintiff—; 41. 12s. 7d.

SMOKE AND GASES.

45. Are not the quantities of smoke generated in cities
and towns injurious to the health and comfort of the in-
habitants ?

46. Ought not the Lef,r,islature to make eTery possible
exertion to abate the nuisance ?

BATHS AND WISIIHOUSES.

47. The Legislature having passed an Act to autho-
rise municipal authorities and vestries to establish baths
nd washhouses for the poor at very low rates of pay-
ment, are you of opinion that they should be brought
into use in your locality without delay ?
48. Would you recommend baths being introduced
into parish and union workouses and hospitals, not as
a remedial measure only, but to promote the health and
cleanliness of the inmates ?

49. Do you think that htbits of uncleanliness are pro
ductive of demoralisation ?

50. Should it not be an object of the Legislature to
encourage the spirit of commercial enterprise in the
execution of the measures for sanatory improvement ?
51. If the expense for sanatory improvements should
be charged upon properties, and be distributed over a
term of yearn, coequal with the probable duration of the
works, and if a special rate of small amount be levied
upon the occupiers until the capital and interest shall
have been repaid—do you think the burden would be
felt by the people ?

18. Have the houses of the poor separate privies, or
are the inmates compelled to use a common one, indis-
criminately as to sexes?

cleanly habits, and a better state of health?

CABINETS D'AISANCE OR WATER-CLOSETS, AND URINALS.

abundant supply of water, and to protect the poor from
high and unreasonable charges ?
27. Would not a constant supply of water to the I
public at large, and to the poor in particular, at high
pressure, instead of the present intermittent supply at
low pressure, greatly conduce to the comfort, cleanliness,
health, and morality of the people ?
28. Would it not be advantageous if all dwelling-
houses capable of being benefited by an amply supply of
water were rated in the same way as for sewage and
other local purposes ?
29. Are the present water companies sufficiently under
the control of Government ?

mission, as well as by the Select Committee of the
House of Commons, appointed April 30, 1846, to ex-
amine the application for local Acts, &c., that all water-
works, all work for drainage of towns, for sewage, and
for paving, should be placed under one administrative
body. Does your opinion coincide with these recom-
mendations ?

14. Are you of opinion that the new legislative mea-
sures are required, applicable to all towns and populous

of an ample supply of water for public and private
purposes ?

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT ROTHEREITHE.—On Friday
evening, shortly before five o'clock, a fire of a most fear-
ful character, by which several hundred pounds worth of
property was consumed, broke out in the premises be-
longing to Mr. Thomas Knight Tippett, an oil and
colourman, situated at 3, Stringer's-row, Lower-road,
Rotherhithe. It appears, that whilst the proprietor of
the buildings was passing through the kitchen with a
measure containing four gallons of spirits of turpentine,
he fell over a chair, and the whole of the turpentine
fell on to the floor, and into the fireplace. Owing to
the combustible nature of the spirits, not half a minute
passed away before the apartment presehted one im-
mense sheet of flame, and it was with the greatest diffi-
culty that Mr. Tippett could effect a safe retreat. The
engine from the station in the neighbourhood, belonging
to the London Brigade, quickly attended, but unfortu-
nately it could not be set to work for upwards of twenty
minutes, on account of a want of water. Meanwhile the
flames made dreadful havoc, seizirg upon everything of
an ignitable characterin the shops, and extending from
thence to the two upper floors of the building. Several
other brigade engines with Mr. Braidwood, the superin-
tendent the West of En2land engine with Mr. Connor-
ton, and those of the parish, arrived in rapid succession,
and as soon as the mains in the district yielded any
water, the firemen, under their foreman, Mr. Henderson,
set to work most vigorously, but upwards of two hours
were spent before they succeeded in extinguishing the
flames, and not before the whole of the stock in trade
was consumed; the furniture, wearing apparel, and other
effects destroyed, and the premises entirely gutted. A.n
adjoining house, No. 4, Stringer's-row, has the back
windows burnt out; and the house in the occupation of
Mr. Lilly, straw-bonnet maker (No. 2) is extensively da-
maged. Mr. Tippett's stock in trade, we understand,
was insured for only 450/., and the building for 2001.
The other parties were uninsured.
THE SUSPECTED MURDER BY POISONING IN
ESSEX.—FRIDAY EVENING.—This morning, at ten
o'clock, Mr. C. Lewis, one of the coroners for Essex, re•
sumed, for the fourth time, the inquiry into the sus-
pected murders by poisoning of James and Joseph
Chesham, the children of Sarah Chesham, who at pre-
sent is awaiting trial in the Chelmsford gaol, on a charge
of attempting to administer a deadly drug to an infant.
Some additional testimony was received, after which the
inquiry was adjourned for one month.

LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1846.

Since the memorable commencement of the Penin-
sular war, when the Grand Duke of BERG was nomi-
nated to the temporary government of Spain, when
CHARLES and the Prince of the ASTURIAS were at
Bayonne, and JOSEPH, King of Naples, was hurry-
ing towards Madrid to assume the Spanish sove-
reignty, the political position of that country has
never been one of such dramatic embarrassment, and
the passions of the Spanish population have never
been so universally aroused, as at this particular
moment. With the first announcement of the in-
tended marriage between the Due DE MONTPENSIER
and the Infanta LUISA the latent nationality of the
Spaniards was developed. Since then every moment
has served to elucidate still more remarkably the
intense indignation with which the populace regard
that alliance. The Progressista protest was re-
sponded to by thousands, of all degrees of
political opinion ; signatures accumulated with
astonishing rapidity. The public journals ut-
tered no quibbles of discontent, but pronounced them-
selves against the proposed arrangement in language
of the most scornful emphasis, and in terms of the most
decisive hostility. Notwithstanding the interference
of Bens-d'armerie, and the seizure of newspapers and
other similar endeavours to prevent these ebul-
litions of violent sentiment on the part of
the citizens, Madrid has been throughout in-
volved in a general paroxysm of indigna-
tion. Nor have the provincial inhabitants of
the Peninsula been backward in their expressions of
rage. From Badajoz and Seville, from Saragossa
and Ayamonte, the antagonism of the capital has
been answered with alacrity and earnestness. So
bitter is the feeling entertained by the people, so
furiously do they yearn for the preservation of their
nationality, that every opportunity is seized, and

ARRIVAL OF THE WEST INDIA

MAIL.

The Royal mail steam-packet Avon, Robert Steer
Norton, commander, arrived at Southampton on Satur-
day evening, with thirty-seven chief cabin passengers,
and the usual mails. She has made an excellent voyage,
and notwithstanding eight days' head winds, arrived two
days before her time. Her dates are—Puerto Bello,
August 1; St. Jago de Cuba, 18; Jamaica, 23; Jacnael,
25 ; Puerto Rico, 28 ; Demerara, 18 ; Tobago, 20 ;
Trinidad, 20 ; Barbadoes, 24 ; Grenada, 25 ; St. Vin-
cent and St. Lucia, 26 ; Martinique, ominique, and
Guadeloupe, 27 ; Antigua, Montserrat, Nevis, and St.
Kitts, 28 ; Tortola, 29 ; St. Thomas, 30 ; Fayal,
Sept. 13.
Amongst the Avon's passengers are Dr. Malley and
lady, whose house was attacked and ransacked at Ma-
deira, in consequence of her attempts to make converts
to Protestantism ; and Sir Robert Schomberg,, from
Barbadoes, after a railway visit to that island. This
packet brings on freight 161 bales Of sarsaparilla, 68 of
tobacco, 62 tierces of coffee, 2,200 dollars, and a small
quantity of gold and silver.
By the most recent accounts the Company's ship Dee
was on her way from the Gulf, and the Medway at
Mexico ; Forth, at Grenada ; Severn, at Bermuda ;
Thamet,, at Trinidad ; Tweed, Spanish Main ; Rein-
deer, Demerara ; and Eagle, at St. Thomas. Her Ma-
jesty's ships Rose, Endymion, Alarm, Daring, Electro,
and Vesuvius were at Vera Cruz ; the Vindictive at
Halifax, the Hyacinth at Newfoundland, and the Persian
and Viper on the fishing ground. •
The Ocean Queen, elch, was wrecked on the Grand
Caimans on the 28thAf July, where the Rapid, Thomas,
was wrecked on the 20th of June.
We learn by this arrival that the crops are generally
good, the weather fine, with a great deal of lam; and
several slight shocks of earthquakes had lßen felt at
some of the islands. Sickness was commencing at Ja-
maica when the Avon left. She had a fine passage home,

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 2l, 11446;

under the 9th of Geo. 4, cap. 61, as licensed victualler3.
It was manifestly the intention of the Legislature to con-
fine the powers of entry given to the police by the 7th
section of the 4th and sth William I V., to those who
sold beer, eider, &c., and the words " spirituous liquors"
used in the first part of the section, must have been in-
serted by mistake ; this was evidknt by th:, latter part
of the section, where it was state.-4 that upon a se: md
offence the magistrate should have power to disqualify
the offender from selling beer, ale, porter, cider, or perry.
No allusion was here made to spirituous liquors or wine.
Under these words the magistrate could have no power
to deprive a licensed victualler of his license to sell
spirituous liquors, so that, in fact, a magistrate could not
enforce the penalties for the second conviction—the
clause would thus be inconsistent. Under these cir-
cumstances, it was quite clear that the clause could not
be held to apply to licensed victuallers, but only to beer-
shop keepers. The powers given by this section were
calculated to inflict great injustice ; even the Police Act
contained no such clause. There was on- Instance in
which the police had entered the house of a most r,.•
spectable licensed victualler, at night, and had actually
obliged him and his fatally to turn out of bed in order
that they might search the house.
Mr. BURRELL said he had paid the greatest attention
to the argument that had been used, which was very
ingenious, but not strong etlouA t overrule the expre,s
wards made use of in the first Rift of the section. If,
however, Mr. Duneumbe's client wa,: desirous of appeal-
ing, he would inflict a fine above 3/., in order that the
appeal might be made under the Police Act.
Mr. Duncombe said his client was not rich enough to
desire the expense of an tippet!.
Mr. BURRELL then fined the defendant 10s., which
was not enforced.
