THAMES.

Mr. Peter Mellish, the vestry-clerk and clerk to the
trustees of the parish of St. Paul, Shadwell, waited upon
Mr. Broderip, to ask his advice respecting a very great
nuisance which existed in New Gravel-lane, adjoining
the eastern basin or entrance of the London Dock, where
a man named Lewis Cowan carried on the business of a
tallow-melter and bone boiler, to whom large consign-
ments of the carcases of oxen in a putrid state had been
made, to the annoyance and disgust of a crowded neigh-
bourhood. Mr. Mellish said he was deputed by the
parish authorities to call the attention of the magistrate
to the evil, and he was quite sure if it were continued,
fever and disease would be engendered. The health of
the inhabitants had already suffered by the frequent ar-
rivals of dead beasts in a decomposed state, which were
brought from Blackwall, and boiled down for the fat—a
process that ought not to be carried on in such a densely
populated neighbourhood as Shadwell. It was known
that large quantities of cattle died on their way from
Ireland, Scotland, and the continent, arising, principally
from their being stowed so closely in the holds of the
steamers which brought them over ; and they were sold
to the tallow-melters and bone-boilers. The stench
arising from the decomposed remains of large animals
brought into Shadwell was quite overpowering. No-
thing more horrible could possibly be conceived, and the
inhabitants had made repeated complaints to the parish-
officers. The police-constables themselves had informed
him that they could scarcely remain on their beats in
the locality when the carcases were brought to Cowan's
factory, and during the process of melting; and they
were obliged to apply handkerchiefs steeped in vinegar
to their noses. On Sunday morning the carcases of six
or seven oxen, :aiffocated on board the screw steamer
Lord John Russell, on her voyage from Holland, were
brought from Blackwall to Cowan's factory. They were
quite putrid, and some of the carcases had burst in the
vans which brought them to Shadwell. The effluvium
was dreadful. Nothing more nauseous and horrible
could be conceived, and the carcases were melted down,
the Commissioners of Customs having very properly
stationed an officer on duty on the premises to see that
the beasts were cut up and boiled, and used for no other
purpose. The inhabitants, who were driven from their
homes by the stench, came in a body to the beadle,
Deverell, and complained of the nuisance. The exhi-
bition of the dead animals in the vans was most dis-
gusting.
Mr. BRODERIP said he could give no advice on the
subject, as he might be the judge called upon to give a
decision against the party complained of; but he should
say that the proper course to pursue would be for the
parochial authorities to indict the parties who carried
on the alleged nuisance at the sessions. If any case was
legally brought before him, he should know how to deal
with it. He knew that many oxen were over-driven,
and brought here in a state of fever, and that they were
landed from steamers in a high state of fever, and
slaughtered in crowded parts of the capital. There was
a most intolerable nuisance in Whitechapel, where a
great number of beasts were daily killed in the numerous
close sheds behind the butcher's shambles in the High-
street, which was covered at all times with blood and
garbage. No one could pass along Whitechapel High-
street without being disgusted, and such a nuisance
ought not to be suffered in such a crowded district. The
animal effluvia produced miasma. This country was
certainly behind France in the march of practical im-
provements; all beasts were slaughtered out of Paris,
and cattle and sheep were not allowed to be driven
through the streets of that capital.
Mr. Mellish said he understood the abattoirs of Paris
very well, and that such nuisances as Smithfield, White-
chapel, and the tallow-melters and bone-boilers in New
Gravel-lane, would not be permitted to exist in the
French capital. He was afraid the healthy of the inha-
bitants would be endangered by the nuisance on Cowan's
premises.

Mr. BRODERIP said such places ought to be placed
under proper regulations, and not permitted to exist in
densely populated districts. He had no doubt the parish
officers would adopt immediate steps to abate the alleged
nuisance. He then repeated his observations; and
The vestry-clerk, having thanked the worthy magis-
trate, said he hoped the very excellent observations
which had fallen from the bench would obtain the
publicity they deserved.
It is understood that a meeting of the inhabitants of
Shadwell will soon be convened for the purpose of
devising means to suppress the nuisances in the parish,
which the crews of the shipping in the London Dock,
as well as the inhabitants, have made complaints against.

THE HORRIBLE MURDER AT CHESTERFIELD.
Connected with this horrid affair an opinion prevails
that the deceased's body was cut up and carried away
in parts to the cesspool, in which his mangled remains
were discovered. This idea, however, is not supported
by the surgeon who examined them ; ho clearly ascer-
tained that the first vertebra, which connects the head
with the spine, had not the appearance of having been
separated by any violence, as it was found complete. But
it must be borne in mind that the second and third
vertebra are not to be found, and if the head were sepa-
rated from the body after death, those bones would be so
broken up as to be undistinguishable afterwards. The
mangled remains were interred in St. Thomas's church-
yard, Brompton, on Monday last, followed by a large
party of friends and relations, including Ellen Beres-
ford, and attended by an immense concourse of spec-
tators. The prisoner was removed to Derby gaol on
Friday morning, in the custody of Sharpe, an active
constable of Chesterfield ; a great number of people
congregated at the railway station to witness his de-
parture; he arrived a short time before the train, and
made a request to see Mr. R. Statham, butcher, by
whom he was employed, and with whom he conversed,
seemingly without reserve, and did not seem in the least
unnerved; when the train arrived, he was hurried
through the crowd to the carriages, upon which he ap-
peared pale and agitated. He shook hands with some
a-quaintances, and bade them good-bye. He also told
Ntr6 Statham that he was innocent of the murder. There
was some groaning on his proceeding to the carriage,
otherwise there was no strong feeling manifested by the
congregated throng. He is a very diminutive man, being
only five feet one inch in height, stout built, active, and
having a repulsive countenance. Among the fraternity
he and his brother, in derision of their small
stature, were known by the names of " Gog "
and " Magog." A few days ago he addressed
a letter to Mr. R. Statham, which contained little more
than desiring his respects to his acquaintance and
assertions of his innocence. He did not, however, forget
his old friend " Nero," a favourite dog, to whom he sent
" his respects." Prisoner is described by his late em-
ployer as being remarkably temperate in his habits, and
a rather timid disposition. Collis, the supposed mur-
dered man, was a good-looking person, 26 years of age,
about the middle size, dark hair, and light whiskers, and
well known and respected in the neighbourhood. Ellen
Beresford, the young woman to whom he was betrothed,
is a pretty and respectable-looking young woman, and
her case has excited much sympathy, as it is stated to
have been the intention of Collis to marry her had he
lived. A number of benevolent individuals, feeling that
she was deprived of a husband, and her child of a father,
by this tragical occurrence, have laudably determined to
raise a subscription in her behalf, and there is no doubt
but their praiseworthy object will meet with the success
which its merits.—Derbyshire Courier.
THREE LIVES LOST ON THE RIVER.--On Sunday
evening two accidents happened in Erith reach, near
the Half-way House, and we regret to add that one of
them involved the loss of three lives. A pleasure sailing
boat, called the Miriam, went down the river to Erith,
on a pleasure excursion ; she was managed by Joseph
Leonard, a waterman of Blackwall, and brother of one
of the Thames police inspectors, and another man con-
versant with the management of pleasure yachts. There
were three gentlemen on board, who names have not
transpired. The wind freshened in the evening, and
while the boast was coming up the reach one of th men
went aloft to reef the gaff- topsail, and while he was
doing so a squall of wind caught the sail, and the top
weight of the man above caused the frail barque to cap-
suite, and the whole party were immersed in the water.
Two of the party almost immediately disappeared, and
were drowned ; Leonard clung to the hatches and other
floating gear for some time, but ultimately sunk before
assistance could reach him, and also met a watery grave.
The other waterman, and one of the gentlemen, said to
be owner of the boat, were saved by Margatroyed, a
waterman and sailors' lodging-house keeper, who was
rowing his boat up the reach at the time, and who also
recovered some of the materials of the pleasure boat.
The unfortunate occurrence has created a great sensa-
tion among the owners of sailing yachts and pleasure
boats on the river. It is reported that the Miriam had
actually been sailing a match with another pleasure boat
and came off the winner on Sunday, and having parted
with her opponent, Leonard, who had been down the
river with another gentleman's pleasure boat, and re-
mained ashore at Erith till she was gone, requested a
" cast up" in the Miriam, which was granted. None of
the bodies have been recovered. Soon afterwards
another accident occurred in the same reach ; a quay
skiff of large dimensions, and containing seven persons,
which had been down on a pleasure trip, was capsized in
a squall ; six of the party clung to the boat, while R.
Hamilton, a waterman, swam towards a sailing barge at
anchor, and made known the danger of his companions ;
the bargemen immediately put off in their boat, and saved
the whole of the party, who, after drying themselves on
board the sailing barge, were sent up to London in a
steamer.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE OXFORD RAILWAY
STATION.—A dreadful accident happened at the Oxford
station of the Great Western Railway on the evening of
Saturday, about seven o'clock, whereby two men of the
names of Bates and Gardiner, employed as porters at
the station, lost their lives. It appears that the two
poor fellows, with several others, were employed in re-
moving large blocks of deals from a boat in the Isis to a
truck, for the purpose of conveyance by rail, when sud-
denly the crane (from the great weight attached to it)
broke, and falling on the two unfortunate men killed
them both instantaneously. The head of Bates was
completely smashed, and the other poor fellow had his
neck and arm broken. The rest of the men escaped un-
injured.

PROSPECTUS.
'e object of this Company is to construct a direct anti continuous
railway, on the narrow gauge, from Cheltenham, through
:i 'lleach Burford, and Witney, to Oxford, and thence, by Thame,
„le ono ...
. junction with the London and Birmingham Railway, at
hid",;),Dening the shortest route from those towns and the surround-
ta;,•:,latlicts to the metropolis, and by means of the Oxford and
and other lines in connexion therewith, to Bedford, Cam-
-1,,'4, Norwich, and the whole of the eastern side of the kingdom.
,litt7 undertaking is promoted by parties locally interested in the
4,4lct'lloldersthrough which the line will pass, in cnction with e
lin the Oxford, Witney, Cheltenhaonjm,u and Gloucestther
'clident Company, who introduced a Bill into Parliament during
84itiession which has just closed for making the line between Oxford
Cheltenham, which failed upon technical objections only. It
11),,ue the anxious desire of the Committee to consult the wishes of
ett;lll4lntants as to the terminus and mode of approaching the town
;f. teham.
4.1,11 V'ge Proportion o fthe capital will be subscribed by the London
*N'crth-Western Railway Company, who have also agreed to
coat the line in perpetuity, at a rent equal to four and a half per
a the outlay, with an equal i ivision of surplus profits.
o louu• will reduce the distance between Cheltenham and London
Zee Whiles,
being a saving of twenty-two miles as compared with
4 iesent route, and the distance between Oxford and London will
kt,,,°rter than by the Great Western Railway, without taking into
