REFUGE FOR PRISONERS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—l again address you on the subject which is of
paramount importance to the whole community, and
which I am happy now to state has produced most gra-.
tifying encouragement in the course I am pursuing to
obtain an effective remedy to arrest the increasing and
direful misery of nearly 50,000 unfortunate and un-
friended fellow-beings, who are annually ejected from
our prisons.

With a most influential committee, the cause has
hitherto been completely successful—the people as well
as all the corporations have been awakened to the cause
of humanity, and are impressing upon the Legislature
by petitions the urgent necessity of a remedy. The
Duke of Richmond, the Marquis of Westminster, the
Bishop of London, with many other noblemen and
warm advocates in both Houses, deserve the thanks of
the country at large for their noble and unceasing
efforts to obtain permanent shelter and employment for
so many misguided creatures. The object of all
punishment is prevention, and when atonement has been
made to the offended laws of the country, to pursue the
poor outcast further is ill befitting a Christian country
or people. I will not interfere with the difference of
opinion in the treatment of the penal convict; my
object is to prevent him arriving at so degraded a posi-
tion, from which nothing offers at present to rescue him.
It is gratifying to see the short sighted prejudices
fast diappearing, to see what public opinion is now
doing for those often misguided creatures, and to hear
the Duke of Wellington state that Government mean
now to grapple with the subject and grant a remedy.
Thus have we gained the first step in that noble struc-
ture that will save and reinstate so many thousands who
will live to bless the exertions of those kind and bene-
volent benefactors who have stretched out a hand to save
them.

A bright day is beginning to dawn upon these poor
outcasts, and I still call upon all to aid and assist in the
glorious woric, and to the whiled with short of
an effective and permanent remedy by the Legislature,
who rule for the public good, and who will yield to
public opinion.
My humble efforts have thus far been successful, and
I hail with pleasure the progress of this most merciful
cause, which must eventually triumph, and still further
exalt us as a nation and people in the scale of humanity.
I am, sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN LAURIE, Sheriff, &c.

Sir,—l have to request that, in conjunction with Dr.
Playfair, you will inquire into the means at present
adopted for the prevention of smoke in various parts of
the kingdom, with the view of ascertaining how far
those means are generally applicable to large towns and
populous districts. For this 1 urpose you will direct
your attention particularly to the towns of Leeds, Man-
chester, Bradford, Derby, and other towns already pos-
sessing Local Acts for the prevention of smoke. If in
any of these towns you find the Acts inoperative, you
will ascertain the causes which have made them so ; and
in others you will inquire as to the manner in which
they have been carried into execution.
You will be so good as to direct your especial at.
tention to ironworks, distilleries, potteries, sugar re-
fineries, and other works, which, in the last session,
claimed exemption from the Bill then before Parlia-
ment, and to ascertain whether these claims are well
founded. In doing so you will have to visit Newcastle,
Swansea, Merthyr, Stoke, and other places, where ob-
jections have been chiefly made to the extension of the
provisions contained in the local Acts referred to.
I am, Lc.
(Signed) LINCOLN.
Sir Henry T, De la*Beche. &c.,
TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT CANNING, &C.

Museum of Economic Geology, March 30. 1846.
My Lord,—We have the honour to state, that in con-
formity with the instructions contained in the letter of
the Earl of Lincoln, dated the 27'h of August, 1845,
we have devoted our attention to the moans of obviating
the evils arising from the smoke occasioned by factories
and other works situated in •large towns, as therein
directed, and that we have visited certain of these towns
for the purpose of correctly ascertaining on the spot
various facts connected with the subject.
In all the towns referred to complaints were made of
the absence of power to inflict a small fine upon the
stoki.r for carelessness in managing any smoke con-
suming apparatus, or even in stoking ordinary fires.
Upon this point the opinion is universally expressed,
that all Acts will be inoperative unless the stoker also,
as well as the master, be made an interested party in
seeing to the due execution of the Act. The practical
manner in which the Acts have been followed out is to
proceed gradually, selecting several of the most smoky
manufactories, in the first instance, and giving them the
proper notice to mitigate the nuisance within a fixed
time. The smoke inspector, after this prescribed time,
proceeds to examine the chimney at stated periods. In
the execution of this duty various methods are em-
ployed; perhaps that used in Manchester is the most
practical, and it has without difficulty been accepted as
evidence before the magistrates. It consists in shading
on a form the number of minutes during every hour that
a chimney continues to emit smoke. Better modes of
collecting evidence might easily be suggested under a
general Act.
The general results of our inquiries as to the execu-
tion of the smoke clauses in the local Acts is, that they
have proved unsuccessful.
1. From legal difficulties in procuring a conviction
under the present ambiguous wording of the smoke
clauses.

2. From inefficient supervision, and want of com-
pulsory powers to make the execution of the Act im-
perative.

3. From the want of adjustment in the amount of pe-
nalties, which in some cases are so small as to be prac-
tically useless ; and in others so large, and accompanied
with so much expense in obtaining the conviction, as also
to be inefficient.
• Lord Lincoln's letter does not authorise us to make
any recommendation as to legislative enactments ;
but it may be proper to mention that in every lo-
cality statements were made to us that the
only mode of obtaining an abatement of the nuisance
was by summary conviction before a magistrate,
the penalty being exacted once for any part of a day
during which a chimney continues to smoke. At the
same time it must be observed, that when we consider
the magnitude of the interests affected, the expense at-
tending alterations, whoa the cause of the evil is con-
nected with deficient boiler room or inefficiency of
draught, it is necessary that there should be provision
made to insure the parties against undue application of
powers generally intrusted. Tour Lordship will doubt-
less consider whether, in such instances, it would be ad-
visable to cause the expensive process of an appeal to a
higher Court to be the only means of redressing such
grievance, or whether the same principle might not be
applied as that contained in the Health of Towns Bill, to
enable the Government, on application to that effect, to
institute inquiry by a properly qualified officer, as to
Deftly- tried tfro
nary means for abating the nuisance, and whether
further time should not be granted for continued experi•
ments.

It cannot for a moment be questioned that the con
tinued emission of smoke is an unnecessary consequence
of the combustion of fuel, and that as an abstract state-
ment, it can be dispensed with. But your Lordship will
perceive that there are grave difficulties connected with
a general law to the effect that it shall be unlawful for
chimneys, after a certain date, to emit smoke. With
regard to steam engines, the processes for the prevention
of smoke have been matured, and in very many instances
successfully employed. In this case, therefore, a law to
that effect could be most easily and promptly carried
out. In other cases mentioned in Lord Lincoln's letter,
such as distilleries, dye-works, &c., the Legislature
has already granted powers in the Manchester
Local Act ; and as there are certain instances
in which processes for the prevention of emoke have
with them proved successful, it may be anticipated that
the nuisance arising from these sources may be much
abated, if they be subjected to the general law with that
forbearance and caution which, under certain cases, is so
advisable. There are certain processes in glass-works,
iron-furnaces, and potteries, in which it is neither pos-
sible nor desirable to apply a general law for the pre-
vention of smoke ; although the nuisance may be par-
tially mitigated by causing the steam-engines employed
in them to be so constructed as not to emit smoke.
The emission of that which is improperly termed
smoke from certain manufactories, such as the copper-
works of Swansea, is another question, and involves
very different consideration from the prevention of smoke
from fuel.

It is useless to expect, in the present state of our
knowledge, that any law can be practically applied to
the fire-places of common houses, which in a large town
like London contribute very materially to the pollution
of the atmosphere; but it may confidently be expected,
that by a wise administration of a legislative enactment,
carefully framed, a great progressive diminution of the
smoke of large manufacturing towns will be effected,
and that the most happy results will thus flow from this
improvement, in the increased health and moral feeling
of their population, the intimate connexion of which
with facilities for cleanliness has been so often pointed
out.

In submitting to your Lordship the foregoing state-
ment, we are desirous of observing, that, though we have
endeavoured to execute the task with which we have
been charged to the best of our abilities, yet that pos-
sibly our opinon may not be considered so conclusive as
might be desired. Should this be the case, we are
anxious again to call the attention of your Lordship to
the very great difficulty of the subject, a difficulty felt by
all who have carefully approached it, and one which
we have found increase and not diminish during
our inquiries. Such as the statement is, we trust that
it may be accepted as the results of our best efforts to
meet a very complicated subject ; one requiring very
careful legislative enactments, should it be deemed ad-
visable to provide for it in that manner.
We have, &c.

" Lalla Rookh." It is a flattering testimont fa)
popularity of that poem, that since its publication txa
the present day, it has continued to furnish to art some ,
of its happiest subjects, and to the stage its most
favourite and gorgeous spectacles. More than twenty
years ago it was the subject of an exhibition memor- -
able in the annals of court pageants. On the occasicsa
of a state visit paid to the court of Berlin, in the yew
1822, by the Grand Duke Nicholas and the Grand,
Duchess, among the festivities prepared to welcome them,
was a grand divertissement, founded upon the poem of
"Lalla Rookh," and got up with all the taste and !Tien- -
dour which so princely an occasion demanded. The
Grand Duke acted Feramorz, while to his duchess fell, of-
course, the part of the heroine, Lalla, Rookh. The
various groups that under the titles of Dames de .
Cashemire, Dames de Bucharie, &c., attended the Grand
Duchess, and among these attendants are found names
of the Duchess of Cumberland, the Princess Louisa
Radziville, the Princess Alexandrine, &c.

The splendid volume containing the account of this
royal pageant was published at Berlin in the year 1822,
and contains twenty-three coloured engravings of the
most remarkable costumes worn on the occasion. The
different scenes and events of the poem were represented
in the tableaux vivans, and the effect of all was
heightened by appropriate and touching music. "Ls
Romantique," says the editor of the Berlin account,

THE SWINDLER "J. H. WYND-

HAM."

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—It has just been ascertained,
from a letter which Mr. Dotesio, of the Royal Hotel,-
Slough, has received from Inverness, and, by compar-
ing the writing of a dishonoured cheque inclosed, with
the cheques drawn by "J. LI. Wyndham;" at Windsor-
and Slough, that the same party was at Inverness in
October last, and also about the same time at Edin-
burgh and Glasgow, where he successfully victimised
several hotel-keepers north o' the Tweed, under the
name of " Jamieson Williams." The following is a
copy of the letter, and its inch:sum forwarded to /Sir.
Dotesio

Caledonian Hotel, Inverness, June 13, 1846.
" Sir,—l have seen in the newspapers an account of a
swindle' practised on you. In October last, a person
answering the decription given of your customer came
to the Union Hotel here, which I also keep, and lived in
it about eight days. I was foolish enough to take a
cheque in payment of his bill, and give him the
difference; which cheque proved to be utterly worthless,
and I soon discovered that he did' for several other
hotel-keepers in Edinburgh and Glasgow, in the same
way. Scotland having become rather hot for him, I
should not be surprised if he is the person who has
lately favoured you with his patronage. As it may be of
consequence to prove a number of cases against him, in
the event of his being taken, I enclose the cheque to
which I refer, that the handwriting may be compared,
and will be obliged by your returning it when you have
done so. If it turns out that he is the same person, I
can furnish the names of other parties whom he has
swindled.

" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
(Signed) " JOHN GRANT.

The cheque referred to in the above letter, which is
not drawn upon a printed form, is clearly in the hand-
writing (without any apparent attempt at disguise) of
the same party who committed the frauds upon the re-
spectable tradesmen in this vicinity. It is to the fol-
lowing effect:—

" Yarmouth Bank, London, Oct. 21, 1845.
" Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, and Co., Bankers, London.
" Pay Mr. Grant, or bearer, the sum of ten pounds.
" 10/. JAMIESON WILLIAMS."
Upon it being presented by Messrs. Barclay and Co.,
to Messrs. Glyn sad Co., it was returned to Inverness
unpaid, the drawer being wholly unknown to the London
bankers.

A letter, signed by " Mr. Wyndham," posted in
London, and dated June 3, was received by Mr. Do-
tesion, a few days after he left Slough, in which the
writer stated that if Mr. Dotesio would not take any
proceedings against him, be would return part of the
money he had received on account of the dishonoured
cheque of 10/. ; and requesting that an answer might
be returned through the medium of an advertiement in
the Times newspaper. Mr. Dotesio, who, it may be ob-
served, had no faith in the promise of a man who ren-
dered himself liable (if caught) to be severely punished,
and who has expressed his determination to enter into
no sort of compromise with the swindler, but to let the
law take its full course, took no notice of the letter. By
last Monday's post another letter was received, bearing
the Liverpool post mark, of which the following is a
copy :

" Liverpool, June 12.
" I have written you, to which you have given no
reply. I now offer to pay you in full for the amount of
your account on your letting me hear from you.
(Signer)) "J. H. WYNDHAM."

Rohl_ and Wl,arlsnr bankers,
have given Mr. Yarrow, tailor, of Eton, credit for the
cheque he received from Mr. Wyndham for a " wedding
suit' on the day of his departure from Slough for Lon-
don by the Great Western Railway.

DEATH OF LADY JANE MITIRREAD.—This venerable
lady expired on Sunday last, at the advanced age of 81 years. Ilex
Ladyship was only sarviving daughter of John third duke of Atbo
and, consequently, great aunt of the present Duke, and Viscountess
Strathallan. The deceased was born Dec. 2, 1764, and married
Aug, 1785, Mr. John Grosset Muirhead, who died exactly ten years
since.

FATAL ACCIDENT OFF CREMORNE GARDENS.-A
most melancholy accident happened off the Cremorne Gardens at
Chelsea, by which a boy has lost his life, and others very narrowly
escaped. The deceased, whose name was Greaves, lived with his
parents in the Commercial road, Chelsea, and was sent to school at
his usual time. Instead of going there, he went with some others
to Cremorne Gardens, and on the edge of the river they commenced
" larking," during which the deceased was pushed into the ricer.
Assistance was rendered, but too late to restore life.

BEER TRADE.—Wednesday the Beer Trade Protection
Society took their eleventh annual steam excursion. The company.
consisting of a number of families, with provisions open the plc-nie
plan, went on board the Star, which cleared out from Adelaide-wharf
at ten minutes to nine. The vessel carried upwards of 400 persona.
At Blackwell she took on board about 50 more passengers, and dashed
on for Gravesend, where she landed those who did not wish to go
further, and then steamed on to Southend. The company, at South-
end pier, went on shore, and were allowed three or four hours to re-
fresh themselves at the Royal Hotel and other houses on the hill
above the beach. After such recreation and their walk upon the
pier, they returned to the vessel, and on the way back called at
Gravezend for those they left in the morning. It was past ten at
night when the Star reached London-bridge. Music and dancing in-
creased the pleasure experienced by the party.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT THE NEW HOUSES OF PARLIA.-
mrNT.—Wednesday, between the hours of five and six, an elderly
man, in the employ of Messrs. Grisell and Peto, was engaged at the
New Houses of Parliament, hoisting a block of stone to the top of
one of the towers, by means of a travelling crane. The poor fellow
was in the act of turning the handle of the traveller, when by some
accident the same slipped off, and the unfortunate man losing his
equilibrium, fell to the ground a distance of upwards of 50 feet. Some
of his fellow-labourers immediately went to his assistance, but he
appeared quite insensible. He was, therefore, removed to Westmin-
ster Hospital, where he was attended to by the house-surgeon• bet
the injuries be had received were of such a dreadful distracter that
he died shortly after his admission.

was discovered floating under the arches of Waterloo-bridge, on
Monday morning. In the absence of all identity or evidence to prove
how she came into the water, the jury returned a verdict of " Found

25 years of age, rather stout, and was dressed in a half-mourning
gown, without any bonnet or shawl.

FATAL ByGiLisTIC ENCOUNTER.—A prize fight came
Off at Southampton on Friday evening, and terminated in the death
of one of the combatants on the following evening. The fight origi-
nated in a low beer-shop, the resort of the worst class of "navvies,"
and the deceased was the challenging party. The amount of the
stakes was about 305., and it is said the surviving combatant was
unwillingly forced into an acceptance of the challenge by certain
personages, some of whom have figured as principals in the prize
ring, and by whom the money was .subscribed for this fatal encoun-
ter. The fight took place a mile or two from the town, on the oppo-
site side of the River Itchen ; and after a combat, which lasted up-
wards of an hour and a half, the deceased fell heavily, and became
senseless. He was removed to his lodgings in the town, where he
died on daturday. Deceased, whose mane is Travers, was awfully
bruised about the face and body, and was in a dreadful state. A
jury was empanelled before the borough coroner, Mr. Cosewell, on
Monday, when the medical gentleman who had attended him wax
examined, and the inquiry was adjourned until Wednesday. the
medical man being ordered in the mean time to make a post morteni
examination of the body.
