L'ONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 201 1851.

suffers such a state of things to remain as the Regis-
trar-General reports is at this moment existing in
Taylor's-place, 'William' street, Borough, we cannot
be entirely without apprehension. Mr. ELLIOTT, the
registrar of the district, thus describes the present
state of Taylor's-place, in his remarks on the case of
a child who died there of scarlatina maligns :
" Taylor's-place comprises three small houses in a
yard, the entrance to which is in William-street, but
there is no thoroughfare. A boy aged 7 years,
brother of the deceased, died in the same house on the
2d August of remittent fever and pneumonia. The
statement of the mother, when giving information on
Friday regarding nuisances by which the occupiers
have repeatedly been annoyed, appeared so extraor-
dinary that I requested that it should be made in
writing, and have accordingly received the accom-
panying letter from her husband :

" About six or seven weeks ago a watercloset to our
yard was opened for the purpose, as was said, of making
a drain. It was found full; and instead of being emp-
tied properly by a eiglatman, a considerable quantity of
the soil was removed in open day past our dour, and de-
posited in a watercloset common to the three houses
composing Taylor's-place, in one of which I reside. A
few days afterwards a part of our yard was taken up,
and a further quantity of the soil deposited two or three
feet below the surface (in spite of remonstrance) and
covered over; and had not the police interfered, a much
larger quantity would have been laid there, although
opposite and within two or three yards of my win-
dow. On the sth of August, in a remarkably short
time, during the temporary absence of my wife, the
ground under my door was opened in search of a drain,
although my son was at that time lying dead; but
on returning from my employment, finding the
place in such a state, I immediately filled it up. Two
days afterwards it was opened again (as also a further
portion of the yard) and kept open, to no purpose, for
two days; when, through the interference of some one,
it was filled up. I have had the whole of my four chil-
dren dangerously ill almost at the same time, and two
of them have died. My son was carried off two or
three weeks ago, after an illness of less than 24 hours;
his sister is lying dead, and the eldest boy is now ill. I
firmly believe this calamity has happened in consequence
of what I have stated above; and I should be glad, for
the cake of others, if some friend would take the trouble
of putting the case in train for inquiry. Since writing
the above I am informed that the medical gentleman
who attended my children has confirmed my suspicion
regarding the true cause of their illness.'

I have visited the spot, and been informed that a woman
living in another house has been ill ever since the occur-
rence to which the statement refPrs."

`What shall we say oftia; vigilance of the Earl of
SHAFTESBURY and his Board if they wera ignorant of
the state of Taylor's-place ? What of that activity
and zealous attention to the performance of their du-
ties, of which the Noble Earl made such boast the
other day in the House of Peers, if, knowing the ex-
istence of this foul ojficina of pestilence, they supinely
suffered it to remain ? At all events, here is such a
strong prima facie case against the Board as to render
it the duty of the Government to authoritatively call
upon them far an explanation, and should that
explanation be unsatisfactory, or should the Board
continue its.present do-nothing course, we hope the
Minister will infuse a little new blood into it by
placing at its head a thorough practical man of busi-
ness, who will enforce upon his colleagues the neces-
sity of reporting a great deal less and doing a great
deal more. It is time that the philanthropic talker
made way for the active worker.

should have been realised, on account of the Exhibi-
tion and the extraordinary stimulus thereby afforded
to railway traffic; and if we only get 53- per cent,
now, how can we hope to maintain the same rate
when the Crystal Palace has been removed or con-
verted to anot her purpose ?" The answer to this is
equally simple. The Exhibition has unquestionably
increased the receipts largely, as will appear by the
next half-yearly accounts ; but a very small portion of
it—what in fact was realised in June (in May there
was nothing doing)—came into the present account,
and that was more than absorbed by the extraordinary
preparations that were rendered necessary, all of
which were charged against the revenue of the present
half-year, while their fruits are in course of realiza-
tion, and will be distributed in the spring. We be-
lieve we may safely assert that the last half-year's
revenue was rather injured than improved by the
opening of the Exhibition. This ground of objection
is, therefore, removed from under the feet of the ca-
villers. The dividend after the rate of .534 per cent.
per annum we regard as being fully as safe as the
dividends in the public funds, and indeed we shall
feel considerable disappointment if a gradual improve-
ment be not perceptible ere many years have elapsed.
We may say the same of the other great lines which
have maintained their usual rate of dividend ; we trust,
at all events, that any alarm which may have been
entertained by our readers will be allayed, and that
shareholders will not consent to make undue sacrifices
through any foolish and unwarranted timidity.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Tours and Nantes Railway was opened with
great ceremony on Sunday. The Minister of Public
Works was present, and in the course of his speech
apologised for the absence of the PRESIDENT of the
Republic.

Serious disturbances have taken place in Ardeche,
for which the celebration of the festivals of the
Church were made the occasion. The Prefect has
in consequence issued the following proclamation.

MONE Y and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at from 6,000 to 7,000 bales, of which 1,000
American were taken for export, and 1,000 on specula-
tioa. The market was ♦ery firm, and American were
ed. per lb. higher; all other kinds without alteration.—
'rhe Share Market was dull, and prices suffered a fur-
ther considerable decline.
There are numerous sales to-day in the Produce
Markets.

The rates at which bills of exchange, dated 90 days,
were negotiated yesterday afternoon upon the principal
continental cities, were all higher, Paris being at 25 25
to 30, Amsterdam at 11 18 to 18i, Hamburgh at 13 8
to Bi, and Trieste at 11 55 to 59.
The result of the meeting of the Spanish Bond-
holders we stated yesterday, and we find upon
inquiry that it appears to give satisfaction. It is quite
true, nevertheless, that there are many parties who
would have preferred an indignant ra jecti of the con-
fiscatory plan embodied in the law which M. Bravo Mu-
rillo has induced the Cortes to sanction, but these par-
ties are either wealthy or do not perhaps consider that
the whole case is surronoded with difficulties. It
they can afford to wait, the miserable families
who have for years existed upon a mere pit-
tauce, are not in the same happy position, and
therefore will, however reluctantly, come into the unjust
compromise. The general remark is that the debtor is
dishonest and insensible to the high tune of moral feeling
that obtains among other European country s, conse-
quently it is wiser to get what is offered. One thing,
at least, should be well understood. Spain deserves eo
thanks, no eulogy, no gratitude. Stie has her own
reward, for in the preamble of the Bill she boasts
of national faith, public principle, and so forth,
ad nuuaeam. Still we believe that the Spanish people
are not to be confounded with their Government, the
study of which, for years past. has been only to ens
rich its several Members and Queen Christina and her
favourites. Any one who objects that the resources of
Spain will not enable her to do more, should remember
that her forbearing and generous creditors do not ask
more than she can grant. they simply desired that Spain
should keep her debt and interest intact, pa) ing what she
could afford now, and more hereafter. This, however, was
too honest and straightforward a course for any Minister
at Madrid, and accordingly half the interest in arrear
was unblushingly cut off, and the debtor told the claim-
ants they must take what they could get. Had the pro-
posal not been accepted by the meeting yesterday, the
Spanish Government would have gone on quietly paying
the dividends to the minority who sent in their assent
privately, or might even have declared that
as a majority did not acquiesce, the law
should not be carried out, and there would
be possibly a delay of one or two years more.
Under these circumstances, strong as is our feeling
against the Spanish Government, we think the bond
holders had no other course but to accept, nor do we
consider it would bare been practicable to apportion the
money between those who held their bonds with the
coupons attached, and those who had cut them off and
sold them in the open market.
In this "piping time" of railways, when a new
scheme is quite a rarity, there needs some
special recommendation to induce participation in it.
The Western Railway of France, comprising the section
from Paris, through Versailles to Coartres, La Louppe,
and Le Mans, has bees conceded to Messrs. Peto, Geach,
Brassey Betts, Fox, Henderson, and Stokes. The con-
ditions appear to be very favourable, and the Govern-
ment guarantee a minimum rate of profit of four per
cent. per annum on all the capital. There will be
880,0001. however issued in class A shares, and these
will receive the whole guarantee so as to yield six per
