LONDON, MCNDAY, JANUARY 3, 1848

Among the numerous improvements which will be
expected from the Legislature during the new year,
not one is more requisite in an economical sense, and
with a view to the diminution of the national mor-
tality, than those of a sanitary character. Among
the multitude of innovations of this nature, none are
more absolutely essential for the public welfare than
such as will immediately dissipate the evils arising
from the onerous imposition of a window-tax. In
another column will be found a communication from
a competent medical authority, whose statements
have a peculiar bearing upon this particular.
After describing the compact and ad-
mirable structures erected at Birkenhead, by
the munificence of the Dock Company and by the en-
terprize of private individuals, the writer insists upon
the necessity of removing, or, at the least, of modify-
ing, this impolitic and injurious burden upon the
community. Almost every kind of taxation, however
indirect, would be preferable to so odious and op.
pressive an impost—an impost which tends more than
any other to generate disease and to enhance the
numerous discomforts of the poorer classes.
No sanitary undertaking of a local description has
engaged our sympathies more entirely than that to
whichlthe letter of br. HUNTER ROBERTSON hai
eapeciol reference. At an outlay of nearly 50,0004
a-pile of dwelling-houses has been erected capable of
accommodating three hundred and fifty families of
labouring people connected with the magnificent dock-
yard in the neighbourhood of Birkenhead. Another

structure, containing in all sixty-four dwellings, has
ueen erected by a gentleman of the name of LAIRD;
and a third, consisting of seventy dwellings, by a
gentleman named HUGHES. The answers given to
Dr. ROBERTSON by several of the occupants of
these tenements are pleasant to read—they
are expressive of so much satisfaction, of so
much comfort, of so much happiness, and of a
contentment almost unprecedented among persons in
their situation. One says, "My house is most
comfortable ;" another, " I think my house excellent;''
another, " We resided formerly in Oliver-street, and
had much illness there, but have all been in excellent
health since we came to reside here ;" and a fourth
declares, " I never was in so comfortable a house ;
we have never had such continued good health as we
have had since we occupied this house," &c.,
&c. Here, therefore, is a broad and mani-
fest improvement in the domestic condition,
the mental quietude, and the physical health
of the poorer parts of the population. Here
is order for those wbo have hitherto been only accus-
tomed to confusion ; neatness where there were pre-
viously only the tokens of the habitual sloven ; clean-
liness for those heretofore compelled to exist amidst
perpetual• accumulations of filth and rubbish ; abun-
dance of water and excellent drainage. The tenants
are filled with delight at the possession of a house
characterised by such moral advantages. And yet—and
yet—there is an evil which presses with a serious in-
convenience upon both the tenants themselves, and
their generous and poorly-remunerated landlord. That
evil is the imposition of the tax upon windows. In the
first place, the tax is a heavy draw-back upon the net
rental, amounting absolutely to 1271. on the 64
cottages erected by Mr. LAIRD, and to somewhere
about 6001. upon those built by the Dock Company !
And, secondly, it materially interferes with the
bodily health of the inhabitants. Every one of the
tenants examined by Dr. ROBERTSON, notwithstand-
ing his gratification with his abode, expresses
in a decided manner his solicitude for a better
system of ventilation, an anxiety arising solely from
the inadequate number of windows. How far the
complaint is justified by physiological fact is suffi-
ciently shown by the statements elsewhere made by
several distinguished members of the profession.
Sir JAMES WYLIE mentions the recurrence of
certain virulent diseases in a spacious barrack at St.
Petersburgh, where the victims of the epidemic were
three to one on the dark side of the edifice,
when compared with those who perished on the light
side. Upon the same principle it has been declared
by Dr.EDWARDS that deformed children are frequently
the consequence of their parents having resided in
obscure cellars. DUPUYTREN, indeed, is said to have
demonstrated on more than one occasion the extra-
ordinary connexion existing between disease and
darkness. It will be observed, on reference to the
paper of Dr. ROBERTSON, that he proposes as
a substitute for the present baneful system
of window taxation, the levying of a certain per
tentage on the rent of every dwelling producing
more than 15/. per annum to the landlord. In other
words, a property tax—that tax which we have so
long advocated—the least burdensome, and the most
equitable. When the window-tax shall have be en
altogether removed, and a judicious property-tax
substituted, we shall then have done something. to-
wards the diminution of the mortality of the United
Kingdoms.

We are not among the assailants of the Roman
Catholic clergy. We have at all times borne our
willing testimony to the zeal and activity, the noble
self-devotion, exhibited by the vast majority of the
body, who unhesitatingly encountered all the horrors
of pestilence and famine, and applied the whole of
their scanty resources to the relief of the afflicted,
and not only willingly submitted to the greatest pri-
vations, but exposed themselves to the dangers of
contagion, and overtaxed their bodily powers, that
they might bear comfort to the wretched in the dark
hour of suffering. The person who would at-
tempt to censure the general body of the Roman
Catholic clergy would (as Lord BROUGHAM happily
remarked on a recent occasion) " be guilty not only
of the. greatest want of charity, but of the grossest
ignorance of the state of Ireland as regarded the
pastors of the people." But when individuals are
guilty of reprehensible conduct, when they scruple
not to depart from the duties of their sacred calling,
in order to influence the possions of an easily excited
people, and by their injudicious speeches promote
the crimes which it should be their chief aim and
object,?
...,as.....C.,,htsuttkaineminiensissitieigrs,lneto nuonreevsetntindri:
nation with which such proceedings should be
regarded. It is because we respect and esteem the
class that we unsparingly censure those who disgrace
the cloth they wear, and are guilty of acts calculated
to throw unmerited odium and discredit upon their
brethren.

The altar denunciations, as they have been termed,
have recently attracted the public attention, and
persons of every class in society have been horrified
at statements which, if well founded, almost involved
certain ministers of religion in the guilt of being
accessories before the fact to the most atrocious,
murders. It was reported that the blood of
the victim had, in more than one instance,
been shed within a few days after he had been
spoken of from the altar as worthy of the execration
of the people. These denunciations could not have
been resorted to fcr the purpose of inducing the par-
ties censured to abandon the courses complained of,
or through an anxious desire for their spiritual welfare,
for they did not belong to the flock,- nor were they
under the guidance or instruction of the denouncers.
They could not directly hear the reproof that had
been uttered. A private communication might be not
only justifiable but praiseworthy; but public con-
demnation in the sacred edifice, before a suf-
fering people, could lead but to one result
too fearful to be contemplated, involving some of the
congregation, whose spiritual destinies were confided
to the guardianship of that pastor, in the dreadful
crime of murder, and, perhaps, occasioning the
sudden death of a human being—one of our own
fellow-men—at a moment Mien he was totally un-
prepared for the awful change. Some of the most
distinguished lay members of the Roman Catholic
Church have deeply deplored this state of things, and
have remonstrated with the prelates for permitting
so deep a stain to remain on their religion. The
admirable letter of the Earl of ARUNDEL and
SURREY cannot speedily be forgotten, nor the address
of Lord BEAUMONT in the House of Lords on the
occasion of the debate on the Irish Crime and Out-
rage Bill. We could have hoped that these remon-
strances would have been received by the whole body
of the clergy in Ireland in the spirit in which they
were offered,; that if the assertions were without
foundation, their accuracy would have been denied in
the tone and manner becoming ministers of the Gospel,
and the privilege, if privilege it can be called, of re-
viling a person not a member of their congregation,
ur in a position where he could defend himself, repu-
diated.

We regret that the resolutions which have been
adopted at a meeting of the Roman Catholic clergy
of the archdiocese of roam do not confirm these
expectations. They are couched in language similar
to that which has been so justly censured in Arch-
deacon LAFFAN and Mr. M'DERMoTT. They speak of
" the rabid calumnies with which the English press
is teeming against the Catholic people of Ireland,
more especially their clergy, "which (they say) cannot
be accounted for on any principle, than that those
who injure are always studious to defame, in
order that, with a wicked consistency, they may
justify their own misdeeds, and save themselves from the
public odium which such injustice is:sure to provoke."
'We regret to see a body of Christian ministers
indulging in such uncharitable and unwarranted
imputation. The whole document is of an equally
objectionable and painful character. We trust most
sincerely that the Irish clergymen will no longer
maintain a silence, but will earnestly disclaim a par-
ticipation in the sentiments conttined in the resolu.
tuns of Dr. ANIALE and his subordinates, more par-
ticularly that part from which the assertion of the
right of denunciation may be implied.

The Levant mail brings Malta papers to the 24th
ult. They announce the arrival of Mr. MoEE
OTERRAL, the new Governor of the island.

te official journals of Modena contain the follow-

ing :

" To prevent all false and exaggerated relations

which may be made relative to some attempts at dis-
Fla,— within the last few
turhances which hqw- !Arm
days at Modena and Reggio, we publish the following
statement :—At Modena, on the morning of the 12th
December, about a hundred persons went beyond the
gate of Bologna, at the hour of the promenade, to
await the passage of a person of distinction. On his
arrival seditious cries were uttered, and this led to the
arrest of three individuals, two of them being Jews.
The following day the rumour was spread that in
the evening similar demonstrations would take place
at the same time at Modena and Reggio. It Modena,
groups went towards the theatre of the Court, where
a society of amateurs was to perform for the
benefit of the poor. Attempts were made. to prevent
them from going, and the tickets of certain persons
were demanded and torn up. The arrival of a patrol
dispersed this assemblage. At the theatre of Reggio,
where there was an extraordinarily large assemblage
of spectators, seditious cries were uttered during the
last act. After the last act a crowd o:-.bout three
hundred men assembled on the principal place, and
uttering the same cries mixed with the crowd which
was returning home. They then divided into two
bands, one of which went towards the Square of
Saint Prosper, the other towards the Square of Saint
George. A patrol of the line and another of five
dragoons ordered the bands to disperse. The former
obeyed, the latter resisted, whereupon the dragoons
drew their swords against the rioters, who imme-
diately fled in different directions. In the tumult
the soldiers only employed the flat sides of their
swords, but two persons were wounded, one of them
grievously, having, as it appeared, been stabbed by a
poniard, which was found on the ground. The
patrols who traversed the streets during the night
stated that everything was in order. The Govern-
ment has the means of obtaining order and is resolved
to employ them."

We have received the Paris papers of Saturday and
Sunday.
They contain the important intelligence of the
arrival of ABD-EL-KADER as a prisoner at Toulon.
After his defeat by the forces of the Emperor of
MOROCCO, he proposed to surrender, but the terns
proposed were so severe that he rather chose to enter
into negotiations with the French authorities. The
Due D'AUMALE was immediately sent for, and on his
arrival the Emir surrendered to him. The French
authorities had guaranteed to him that his life should
be spared, and that he should be permitted to reside
either in Mecca or in some part of Egypt.

The following is the letter by which the Duke
D'AusaALß announces to General Count DE HALIT
FOUL, the Commander-in-Chief of the military divi-
sion of Toulon, the capture of .&.BD-EL•KADER

'• Mers•el-Kebir, Dec. 25.

" My dear General,—Abd-el-Kader has made his
submission to France. Surrounded by the Moorish
troops, and by our cavalry, he could not any longer
save his deira ; but he had still the possibility of
reaching the south with some horsemen. He, how-
ever, decided on confiding in the generosity of France.
This is an immense result, for his presence in the
midst of the tribes, which still feel for him a great
attachment, might cause us exceedingly great embar-
rassments. Having arrived at Nemours on the
morning of the 23d, I quitted it on the 24th, with
the ex-Emir on board, together with his family and
some of his relations On arriving here this morning,
I very fortunately found the Asmodee in the roadsted,
and I charged that vessel to carry to France at the
same time the news of Abd el Kader's surrender, and
Abd-el-Kader himself. She will first proceed to Port
Vendres to land letters, and then will go on to Toulon
with her passengers. In case the telegraphic dispatch
which she has to send on shore at the first of these
ports should by any cause be stopped, I send you a
duplicate of the direct mail, requesting you to for-
ward it forthwith to the Minister of War.
H. D'ORLEANS,
" Lieut.-General, Governor General of Algeria."
The Marseilles papers thus announce the intelli-
gence of the arrival of the Emir at Toulon :
" A supplement of the Semaphore of Marseilles,
says—
" Abd-el-Kader, who embarked the 25th at Oran
on the steam-frigate the Asmodee, has arrived at
Toulon. It is known how critical his situation had
become of late, and from what danger he escaped in
the recent combat which he sustained against the
troops of Morocco, commanded by one of the sons of
Abderrharoan. After this last defeat all hope of
escaping the pursuit of the Moors having been lost for
him, he surrendered himself to H. R. H. the Duke
d'Aumale, at the camp de Nemours. We can give
this good news, which has been brought by the Phe-
nicien as official. This last act of the military career
of Abd-el-Kader terminates the war of Africa, and
assures to France the peaceable submission of
Algeria."

The Nouvelliste also publishes a supplement con-
taining the same intelligence in the following

terms :

"Abd-el-Kader having surrendered himself a
priscre.r, bas ti.!:l arrive.d!A.TodilmeorLbaidualatientigg
at 'the camp de Nemours, having lost all hope of
escaping from the Moors."
The Caurrier de Marseille, on its part, also pub-
lishes the same intelligence in a supplement which
runs as follows :
"We hasten to publish the official intelligence of
the submission of Abd-el.Kader. He has arrived at
Toulon, and is to be transferred to Egypt. We have
no need to dwell here on the precious advantages
which must result from this event to our colony."
The funeral of the Princess ADELAIDE to take

place on Wednesday at Dreux. It is said that by her
will her Royal Highness Madame the Princess ADE-

LAIDE leaves her forests of Crecy and Armainvilliers

to the Duke DE NEMOURS, the forest of Arc• en-
Barrois to the Prince DE JOINVILLE, and her magni-
ficent estate of Randan, with the chateau enlarged
and embellished by her, to the Duke DE MONTPEN
SI ER.

The Debals gives the following account of the visit
of condolence of the Peers and Deputies :—" The
Chambers haring, through their presidents, sponta-
neously expressed to the KING their desire to give
him a proof of their sympathy and respect, his MA-
JESTY directed the Minister to state that he would re-
ceive it with gratitude as the only possible consolation
to his profound affliction.—Accordingly, at three
o'clock, the Chancellor of France, accompanied by
the high officers of the Chamber, and by nearly all
the Peers in costume, waited on the limo, and the
Chancellor addressed the consolations of the Chamber
to his MAJESTY. His MAJESTY replied with great
warmth of expression. He was accompanied by the
QUEEN, the Duchess D'ORLEANS, the Princes and
Princesses of the Royal Family all in deep mourning,
Having perceived the President BOYER, who in spite
of his infirmities had caused himself to be conducted
to the royal audience, the KING went to him and
thanked him warmly for this touching proof of his
devotedness. The Chamber of Deputies went in a
body to the Tuileries preceded by its officers. The
Deputies passed along the Pont and Place de la
Concorde, the garden and the Pavillon de l'Horloge,
and at four o'clock were received by the KING. The
number of them was greater than had been seen
for a long time, and there were among them
members of all parties. All the chiefs of the
different fractions of the dynastic Opposition,
M. Tarots, M. DUFAURE, M. BILLAULT, M.
DE REMUSAT, and M. ODILLON BARROT had
oined their Conservative colleagues in expressing
lively sympathy and profound respect for the
memory of a Princess distinguished by her devoted-
ness to the KING her brother, and by her love to the
country. The President of the Chamber of Deputies,
addressing his MAJESTY, merely said, in trembling
accents, Sire, we do not come to trouble your grief
by words, but to associate our grief with yours, and
to bring you the lively sympathies of the country 1'
The KING wept, and his tears choked his voice•
The Deputies who were close to him could only
catch these broken phrases—' I had hoped to-morrow
to hare had to thank the Chamber for its reception
—That would have been sweet to my heart—l
feel that am giving way to my sorrow—lt is very
bitter---I am touched to the heart by the testimony
of your sympathy, and at seeing the Chamber so nu-
merous around me.' "
All the Ministers were present at this reception.
On its conclusion his MAJESTY, accompanied by the
QUEEN and the Royal Family, then retired to the
private apartments.
It was said that A BD-EL-KADER would arrive in
Paris on Sunday morning.
A heavy fall of snow took place on Saturday night,
anal the roads in the south of France were rendered
impassablie ; consequently, we have no intelligence
from Spain or Italy.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO Tli
The Markets at Liverpool were closed on Saturday,
being New Year's Day.
The advices received from the manufacturing districts
are rather more favourable. Messrs. M`Nair, Green-
how, and Irving :fate that
" Although the market throughout the month has been
characterised by excessive gloom, and much apparent
inactivity, the results warrants us, we are happy to say,
in expressing our disbelief of any abatement in the feel-
ing of improvement perceptible at the date of our last
Circular. On the contrary, confidence appears to us
to have been materially strengthened, and to
have acquired a stability justifying reasonable
hopes of a slow but progressive advance into maturity.
December, even in ordinary years, we need scarcely re-
mind you, is not regarded as of much business import-
ance. Notwithstanding the gloom and apparent inac-
tivity before referred to, the aggregate transactions of the
month have somewhat exceeded our expectations. Prices
of both goods and yarns, which are lower than they were
a month ago, have again been necessarily very irregular,
and regulated in most instances by the position of the
seller, and the extent of the operations submitted
to him. Stocks may be considered much about the
" same as they were at the end of November. Our quo-
tations represent the market value of each article as
nearly as it can be given. Production is on the increase,
and with it consequently increased employment for
the operatives. There are still, we lament to say, vast
numbers totally or partially unemployed, a matter
much to be regretted at this season of the year
particularly. More failures have unfortunately taken
place, none of them, happily, to any great extent, but
forming collectively considerable liabilities. Though
the monetary panic may be considered at an end, there
is, we fear, considerable suffering to be experienced
amongst the smaller class of traders, whom the conse-
quences of the crisis have only recently reached. The
demand for goods during the month has been but little
assisted by purchases for the country trade ; a matter
which may be• readily accounted for by that to which
we have just alluded, the absence of employment in
the manufacturing districts, and the withdrawal
of large sums heretofore in circulation for the payment
of wages, Sze., connected with railway and other under-
takings. Such then, briefly, is the state of this market
at the close of another year. We are not amongst those
who anticipate a speedy improvement with the new
year. The embarrassment consequent upon the dis-
astrous events of the last few months must necessarily
render it slow but progressive."
We regret to find, upon a perusal of the• accounts
received from the West Indies, that they are still of a
gloomy character. The suspension of the West India
Bank would prove exceedingly disastrous, it was feared,
especially in Barbadoes, where was its head establish-
ment. The stoppage of Barton, Irlam, and Iligginson.
will be a heavy blow to Barbadoes, which had the full
advantage of the large resources at the command
of the firm. In most of the other colonies, as may
be supposed, money was very scarce, and the state of
public feeling very depressed, but still there was some-
what of a hostile spirit in the Jamaica Legislature which
was inclined apparently to persevere in charging upon
the general revenue part of the existing parochial taxa-
tion. It is presumed that conciliation will prevail,
however.
The Funds are very well maintained. Consols have
ranged from 85 to 85ii, and are tiros now at higher
quotations, owing to the rather favourable advices from
India, the bullion received from Mexico, and the
expectation that the revenue returns may prove more
satisfactory than was anticipated. Exchequer bills are
