LONDON, THURSDAY, JULY

The Commons held an early sitting yesterday, in the
sonrse of which
Lord Jogs RussELL announced that the Government
would not attempt during the present session to carry
any measure for regula:ing the water supply of the
metropolis.
On the motion of Mr. EANK.Es, and with the assent of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, the petition of the electors of
complaining of an undua interference of the
oreers of the Government at th 3 last election, was or-
dered
_to be referred to a Select Committee.
"" of Evidence Bill used throur7h Committee.
°tber Bills having been advanced a stage, the House

went into Committee upon tine County Courts Further
Extension Bill, the discussion of which occupied the re-
mainder of the sitting.

Revelations have again been made, illustrating the
necessity of some well-considered and comprehen-
sive system of sanitary improvement. In accordance
with the suggestion of the Hon. Baronet the Member
for the borough of Marylebone, a report recently
made to the Board of Health by one of their most in-
telligent inspectors has been printed by order of the
House of Commons. And from this document may
be obtained a mass of evidence sufficient to satisfy any
one of the grievous want experienced by large
classes of the metropolitan population, of some
interference in their behalf on the part of
her MAJESTY'S Government. The district espe-
cially selected for investigation is that of
Agar Town, a densely crowded locality in the parish
of St. Pancras. Turning over the first half-dozen
pages of the report relating to this quarter of the
British capital, it is impossible to be otherwise than
saddened by the spectacle of squalor presented therein
to our imaginations. Abodes, scarcely suited in any
particular to the most impoverished and degraded
members of the community, appear to be jumbled
together in Agar Town in the most foul and pes-
tilential confusion. The whole quarter, according
to the avowal of the inspector, " has the aspect
of one of the most neglected parts of the
metropolis." Even to the appearance of the
thoroughfares, if those disgusting channels of offal
and ordure can be so designated, the spot presents
a view of almost unexampled wretchedness. Dis-
gusting, nevertheless, as the road is during the
drought of the summer solstice, we find it remarked
by one respectable resident when questioned, " Oh !
it is nothing now, but in the winter it is awful !"
Nor can any wonder be experienced at this abomi-
nable accumulation of dirt in the roadway, when it is
borne in mind that among the evidence adduced, a
little further on, it is observed that although " the
scavanger cleanses Church-lane, &c., daily, the people
state that he does not go into the alleys and courts,
and will only remove the dust, &c., when it is placed
in the street." Whenever, indeed, they have com-
plained that "the dust and filth were unbearable," the
scavenger seems to have contented himself with
replying that it was no business of his to go into the
courts and byways. While this habitual negligence
is tolerated, it is obviously idle to dream of witness-
ing any real amelioration of society, cr any diminu-
tion whatever in the maladies which periodically
break out to decimate the population of the me-

tropolis.
Doubtless there are many who regard inquiries
such as the present with mingled sentiments of con-
tempt and loathing. It may appear to them a viola-
tion of all delicacy to enter into these painful expo-
sures. They would shrink instinctively from a scru-
tiny calculated, according to their ideas, only to revolt
their nature with such detestable and sickening par-
ticularities. It was against butterflies of benevolence
like these that HAZLITT many years since directed
his noble and withering scorn, when he spoke
of them as men who hated. the look of the
people, the touch of the people, the smell of the
people—fribbles of fashion who would have perfumed
the fields with pachouli, clothed Egeria in brocades,
and viewed the glories of Nature only through an
effeminating atmosphere of coventionalities. It
was not thus HOWARD felt when he entered the
fever wards and the dungeons of all the most pes-
tiferous prisons thrOughout Christendom. It was not
thus the canonized philanthropists of the middle
ages felt when they tended the victims of " lame-
ness and lunacy, blindness and leprosy." And
it is because we have ever recognised a
generous disregard of these repulsive obstacles to in-
vestigation on the part of the Noble Lord who has
recently succeeded to the Earldom of Saaftesbury,
that we have always regarded his personal exertions
in behalf of his fellow-creatures with such
earnest and spontaneous admiration. If, like him, we
are really solicitous to extricate the poorer classes
from the miseries with which, until now, they have
been more or less surrounded, we must despise
with equal resolution the disgust evinced in
reference to these things by the over-fastidious
and undiscerning. Away then, and for ever,
with all these petty qualms and weaknesses! Away
with all this morbid and miserable false-delicacy !
Let us look the evils we have to remove steadily in
the face, as the surgeon does the gangrene or the im-
posthume. We must learn to call things by their
right names, moreover, if we would not be for ever
beating about in a haze of uncertainties. We must
arrive, likewise, and that with all reasonable rapidity,
at the conviction which can alone 'enable the masses
to rise out of their long-continued and, there-
fore, perpetually accumulating wretchedness. 'We
must see that if we would effect any genuine
improvement in the morality of the labouring classes,
we must first of all enable them to live in decency,
surrounding them with wholesome means of existe
ence, if we would ever hope to see them imbued
with pure and lofty sentiments, having more regard
for their physical condition and for the salubrity of
their homes, if we would ever dream of witnessing
their intellectual education and social improvement.
Bear these solemn and persuasive truths in re-
membrance, and we warrant that no indi-
vidual gifted with even the most ordinary
amount of sensibility will shrink henceforth from
inquiries such as those here indicated in the report of
Mr. GRAINGER. Turning to the 9th page of the docue
ment, read such a melancholy revelation as this :
" At the top of a narrow alley in Church-lane I saw
an old hole full of excrement, and sickening to the smell.
In this alley are four small dirk huts, or single rooms,
black with filth, crowded with children and adults. In
one of these hovels, in which I could not stand upright,
was a pour woman cowering over a few embers in the
cold stage of ague, a girl with fever, and, standing at
the door, a man who was attacked with typhus last
January, had been three months ill in the workhouse,
and, although discharged, was still ill and ailing, and
his eye-sight so much affected from the fever that he
cannot go up any scaffolding, and consequently is un-
able to get work."
With such a villanous den as this for a house, how
can we look to these poor creatures for the virtues
and energies desirable in the industrial ranks of our
population ? It is for the transformation of such styes
into clean and habitable cottages that we are perpe-
tually solicitous, and to this end, consequently, we
are continually insisting upon the necessity of a grand
system of sanitary innovation.

The " English Thugs" have again commenced their
atrocious practices in the metropolis, and notwith-
standing all our boasted improvements, notwithstand-
ing the brilliancy of our gas lights, in spite of
the boasted organization, nay, we fear, that we
must add in consequence in some instances
of the culpable connivance of the constables of the
police force, passengers are attacked, rendered sense-
less, and robbed in the streets of London at midnight,
at an hour when all London is stirring, and when
many of the shops, and none of the taverns or other
places of public entertainment, are closed. In the
columns of a morning contemporary we find the fol-
lowing letter :

" Sir,—Allow mo to draw your attention to a high-
way robbery perpetrated on myself last night. On my
going home, between twelve and one o'clock, two or
three villains rushed suddenly, I imagine, from a door-
way, One of whom pressed some hard substance against
my throat, whilst the others pushed me down a gate-
way. I became almost instantly insensible from the
pressure producing suffocation, and no doubt I should
have died if I had not become insensible so soon, as it
enabled them to rob me and release my throat. After
lying, 1 imagine, about half an hour, I recovered my
senses, and found I had been robbed of a gold watch and
chain, and also of my money, about 41. I am at pre-
st nt suffering great pain, but hope I have not sustained
mat injury. Now, Sir, this atrocious attack was not
a g in b 1, •
committed a y- p Ace, but in a public thoroughfare, a
public-house being open and within half a minute's walk;
anl I would observe that these diabolical robberies are not
of rare occurrence, but I believe they are concealed by
the police. I do hope you will take some notice of this
matter, which concerns the
doorway
at large; for my part,
I shall be afraid to pass a or any place capable
of concealing these
Sir,scoundre yourslsv.eryl sreensdreycottuumny,y address.
I remain," A SusnixEn.
"July 16."
In our introductory remarks we said that we feared
that in many cases these robberies were perpetrated
with the connivance of the police force, and we re-
peat the assertion ; but at the same time we wish to
guard ourselves against misapprehension. 'We do
not believe that all, or nearly all, or any considerable
fraction of the police force, would connive at, or aid
or assist, or abet in the commission of such atrocious
deeds. As a body, we know no set of men who act
so admirably, so firmly, yet at the same time so tem-
perately; sunder in modo, fortiter in re might be their 1

motto, and this description still applies to all the old
officers. But within the last year or two there has not
been exercised that care and judgment in the se-
lection of men which had been exercised heretofore,
and the consequence has been that on several
occasions of late policemen have figured away before
magistrates as defendants, and it has been a not un-
common occurrence of late to find a conviction re-
corded at the Central Criminal Court against an ex-
policeman. A circumstance, too, has recently come to
our knowledge which proves that among certain
members of the force corruption, or rather extortion,
is by no means uncommon; we have been informed
by a person on whom we can rely that on a recent
occasion, in which some French and some English
were engaged in a drunken row, a policeman took
them into custody. On their appearance before
the magistrate the next morning, the Frenchman
was discharged and left the police court ; he
was followed by the policeman, who stated that as
the late prisoner had been discharged in consequence
of the favourable evidence given by him (the police-
man), he should expect a gratuity. The Frenchman,
who considered this a very queer occurrence, gave
him a small gratuity, and thus the matter
ended. But this circumstance shows the ne-
cessity of the institution of a strict and
searching inquiry into the characters of the men con-
stituting the police force ; the man who would ask a
gratuity of half-a-crown from a Frenchman for
having given evidence in his favour, would not re-
fuse
a sovereign from a Thug who should ask him in
return to be out of hearing of a certain door at
certain hour, and there can be no doubt but that
all parties would take care that there should be ample
evidence forthcoming to prove that the policeman was
most assiduously engaged in the performance of his
duties elsewhere. Another cause of the impunity
with which the " Thugs" are enabled to commit
these robberies is, that although the ratepayers of
the metropolis are over-taxed and over-policed, they
' are unguarded. The number of men enrolled in the
Metropolitan Police force is sufficient to guard, and
amply guard, a metropolis of even twice the extent of
ours, whilst the number of men actually employed
in guarding it is miserably deficient. No sooner
does any disaster occur in the country, occa-
sioned by the parsimonious conduct of the
"great unpaid" of the provinces, in refusing
to organize a police force for themselves, and to rate
themselves for its maintenance, than a detachment of
the Metropolitan Police force is sent down. Thus,
when the extortion and tyranny of the Welsh
squires had driven the whole population of
South Wales into rebellion, a large de-
tachment of that Metropolitan Police force was
immediately sent down into Wales, and the in-
habitants of the metropolis were not only rated to
maintain a police force for South 'Wales, but their
own homes were left without that 'guardianship for
which they bad paid, which was trans-
ferred to the Welsh squires, who paid nothing.
Again, during this last week how many of the Metro-
politan Police have been drafted off to Windsor to
protect the Duke of RICHMOND and the fat pigs and
calves and other notabilities of the great bucolic
interest ! Surely, if the Welsh squires or
the English showmen of fat cattle need
police protection, they should pay for it themselves.
One thing is clear, that we have not policemen suffi-
cient in the streets of the metropolis to protect us from
highway robbery ; and another thing is
clear, that if the services of all the con-
stables supported by the metropolitan ratepayers were
confined to the metropolitan districts, we should be not
only amply guarded, but should be enabled materially
to reduce the numbers of the force. We commend
these things to the attention of the ratepayers, and
hope soon to see a series of meetings to uphold the
principle—" The Metropolitan Police for the Metro-
politan districts alone."

DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FOR WINDSOR CASTLE.
—Tub DAY.—Her Majesty held a Court and Privy Council,
which was attended by the Ministers and great officers of
state, this afternoon at two o'clock, at Buckingham Palace,
and immediately after the breaking up of the Council, the
Queen and her illustrious Consort, accompanied by the Royal
childr.,n, and attended by the Viscountess Jocelyn, Lord
Elphinstone, Lord Charles Fitzroy, Lieutenant-Colonel
Francis Hugh Seymour, Colonel the Honourable Charles
Grey, Lady Caroline Barrington in attendance on the
youthful Royal Family), and the usual retinue, left the
Palace, escorted by a party of the 3th Hussars, for the Pad-
dington terminus of the Great Westan Railway, where a
special train was in readiness to convey the illustrious party
to Windsor. They were received at the station with
the usual military honours, and thence proceeded to the
Castle, where they will sojourn some days.

THE EXHIBITION.—On Tuesday the girls and
boys of the school at Havering-atte-Bower, Essex, were gra-
tified by a visit to the Great Exhibition. The school had
been sanctioned by Royalty on her Majesty's accession, who
was pleased to ho._our it by a donation of 20/. The parish
was once a royal residence, and has been visited by Queen
Elizabeth. The peculiar neatness and healthy appearance of
the children in their new dresses attracted very great notice.
They were attended by the clergyman, the master and mis-
tress, and a company of the parishioners..
SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, ROYAL GIFT.—
Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to present a very
beautiful dark African leopard to the Surrey Zoological
Gardens. The animal, which was a gilt to her Majesty from
the King of Geeboon (on the west coast of Africa), has been
only a few days in England, having arrived in the Heroine
brig of war, now lying at Plymouth. The gardens have at
length begun t,) feel the benefit of the extraordinary influx
of visitors to London. During the last fortnight the num
ber of visitors each evening has been from 10,000 to 14,000.
ASSAULT or ARMS.—An assault of arms, in which
almost every variety of attack and defence was exhibited,
took place on Tuesday evening at Saville-house, Leicester-
square. The spacious apartment in which the sports took
place was crowded with visitors, among whom were a vast
number of foreigners. The programme contained the names
cf most of the celebrated French swordsmen now in Lon-
don, and the names of many eminent English boxers. The
great novelty of the evening and the exhibition which at-
tracted the principal attention was, howeve-, the display
given by M. Leboucher and other proficients of the science
of French boxing of what is called the savate —a method of
kicking an adversary in the face. This (to Englishmen)
perfectly new mode of attack, as exhibited in a contest be-
tween two strong and active professors, excited the wonder
of those who were unacquainted with its effects. It cer-
tainly exceeded the speculations of the English pugilists,
and is a formidable and dangerous manner of doing battle.
The arrangements were under the management of Mr.
Green, the proprietor of the place, assisted by Mr. Harrison
and other well known professionalists.

GRAVESEND.—Yesterday a special session was held
in the Town Hall, for the purpose of' deciding a question that
has for some time past been the subject of much discussion in
Gravesend, viz., the liability or non-liability of the Terrace
Pier and gardens to be rated towards the support of the poor.
Mr. Levy, the present occupier and lessee, claimed exemp-
tion on the ground that the land occupied by the pier and
gardens, on which formerly stood the old Block-house Fort,
was extra-parochial, it being Crown property, and that the
Pier Company were under covenant to give immediate posses-
sion of the land in the event of the Crown demanding it.
The magistrates, however, decided that the pier and gardens,
having been underlet by the original lessees, and, the pre-
sent lessee deriving a profit from the ball and concert that
nightly takes place, he was liable, and must pay the rate.
ST. MARTIN'S• HALL.A selection of choral music
was performed last night, under the direction of Mr. Hullah,
by the members of his Upper Singing Schools. The masters
drawn upon were J. Bishop, Lotti, Horsely, Croce,
Reynolds, Croft, Danby, Tieck, Wilbye, Orlando Gibbons,
Bennett, Mendelssohn, and Lord Mornington. The pro-
gramme was, on the whole, very interesting, although
somewhat monotonous. The most beautiful piece was a
part-song of Mendelssohn, " 0 hills and vales," which con-
trasted quite freshly with the somewhat pedantic character
of most of the other compositions. Wilbye's quaint
gal, " Flora gave me fairest lowers," was equally welcome
in its way, and for the same reason. It was exceedingly
well sung, and encored unanimously. A hymn by Mr.
Hullah, " 0 trod that mad'st the earth and sky," a favour-
able example of that gentleman's skill in the art of writing
for voices, and a part song, "Pack clouds away," by the
same composer, even more pleasing and melodious, both
met with the utmost favour. The latter was admirably
performed, though the former left much to be desired. The
whole of the first part of the selection was sacred, and the
whole of the second secular. The concert terminated with
the National Anthem, which created the accustomed exhi-
bition of enthusiastic loyalty. The performance appeared
to give entire satisfaction to a numerous and attentive
audience.

REFORM ON THE CAB-RANK.—A correspondent
says, that within the last few days the Metropol tan Com-
missioners of Police have suspended the licences of 800 cab-
drivers. The Commissioners having ascertained that num-
bers of the licensed drivers were brothel-keepers and other-
wise improper persons to be entrusted with the public ser-
vice, on the last manual licensing day in 1850 gave individual
notice that strict inquiries would be made on the next occa-
sion, and all who were found as above-mentioned, or notori-
ous drunkards, would be deemed unlit persons and their
licences retused. The result has been the suspension of up-
wards of 800. These vigorous measures cf the Commissioners
have astonished the whole fraternity, and several meetings
have been held to consider the position of the body.
One or two of the New York papers are once
more reviving the sea-serpent story. An American captain
has, it seems, seen a whole brood of sea serpents, and has
even been fortunate enough to secure the head of one of the
young members of the tribe.

THE FRENCH REPUBLit),

-
We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
They all comment on the speech of M. COQUEREL
on the sultect of the revision in the sitting of the
Assembly d the preceding day. In the course of
his speech, M. COQUEREL highly eulogized Louts
Pnimprz and his family, and whilst protesting an
ardent attacament to the Republic, more than insinu-
ated that he was no very determined opponent of the
re-election cf Louis NAPOLEON.
The speeca of M. Simnel, (de Bourges), the leader
of the most scvanced section of the Mountain, is also
commented oi, and even the re-actionary journals
are compellec to acknowledge that M. M 1 C El EL treated
the subject mil great ability, great eloquence, and
great moderation. We give the conclusion of Tues-
day's proceeditgs. M. DE FeeLoux had interrupted
M. MICHEL (iho was protesting against a Russian
alliance-) by asking whether the Emperor NAPOLEON
never threw his eyes on the side of the Cossacks
M. MIcuEL (de Bourges) would reply that he had
one day thrown his eyes on the Cossacks of the Don,
and the flames o' Moscow attested how he had re-
garded them. At Saint Helena the man was still re-
splendent in that ocean which formed his prison. But
where was the god, the hero, the saviour who com-
manded armies and secured victory ? He said to
himself cni do no more ;" and he then thought
of the Republic, and exclaimed :—" Yes, Republican
or Cossack."--(Loud approbation on the Left.) He
saw appear the tatbarisna of the north, and he sought
a remedy for those who had been his tut-j-cts and
who were then his equals ; and he said, " The Re-
plsblic alone can save them."—(Renewed applause on
she Left.) The Hon. Gentleman here complained
of being fatigued, and proposed that the discussion
should be adjourned.

This was agreed to and the Assembly rose.
In the sitting of the Assembly, yesterday, M.
MICHEL resumed his speech, and at the conclusion
thus explained what he meant by the Republic :
" He did nut wept an ancient republic, which was or-
ganized brigandage, and the struggle for ill-got wealth
among robbers. The ancient republics, which were
vaunted in the schools, did not acknowledge the claims
ef labour, the origin of capi:al, and extorted it by
slavery. The republic desired by him and his friends
was that of the United States, the unity minus the
slavery. Their capital and labour gave one another the
hand, and all were called directly or indirectly to make
the law. Capitalists would lose perhaps by the Repub-
lic, but revolutions would no longer be possible. Lyons
had been fifteen months under state of siege. He liked
the soldier, but he liked him better out of the country.
—(Laughter.) He would not have him employed to
set up is dictator. He had been reminded that he bad
not 'Token of the abolition of the punishment of death.
He would only say that monarchies kill because they
are in a false position, but republics can pardon because
they are the truth itself.—(Loud cheers on the Left)"
He was followed by M. BEERVER, Rho declared
that he should look upon the re• election of Louis
NAPOLEON as the greatest misfortune which
could befall France next to the triumph of Socialism,
and called upon all the friends of order to rally round
and maintain the Constitution, unlsss its revision
should be voted by a legal majority. The debate bad
not concluded when the post left.
The Moniteur publishes the following decree, dated
the 15th, from the PRESIDENT of the Republic, and
countersigned by the Minister of War :
" General Maguan, commander of the 4th military
division (Strasburgh), is appointed Commander-in-Chief
of the army of Paris, iu place of General Barraguay
d'Hilliers, whose resignation is accepted. The auri-
butions of the command of the territorial division re-
main entire in the hands of General Carrelet, who com-
mands at the same time the first division of the army of
Paris."

General MAGNAN, who is one of the most ardent of
the partizans of LOUIS NAPOLEON, and whose ap-
poinzment has given great offence to all the old
officers and to the Members of the Assembly, has re-
signed his seat as representative of Paris, conse-
quently a new election must take place, the result of
which will be looked forward to with interest ;
and as one member only is to be returned the election
will enable us to calculate with tolerable accuracy
the comparative strength of the respective parties in
the capital.

The Moniteur publishes a return of the receipts
from the indirect taxes for the first six months of
1851, as compared with those of the corresponding
period of 1849 and 1850. The produce of the indi-
rect taxes amounts to 363,660,0001., having been for
the first half-year of 1850, 350,467,0001., and of 1849
334,436 000 t. The augmentation in favour of 1851
over 1850 is consequently upwards of 291 millions,
and over 1849 13 millions. The items showing
most increase are the registration dues and the stamps
duties, in consequence of changes effected by the Bill
passed on May 18, 1850. The duty on home made
sugar has given 4,233,0001. more in 1851
than in 1850 ; whilst the duty on colonial
sugar has fallen off 4,112,000 f. The duty
on potable liquors shows an increase of 1,874,000
francs, that on salt 935,0001., and the post-
office department 1,298,0001. ; tobacco sales,
2,846,000 f. ; import duties at the customs, 723,0001. ;
and the export duties, 491,0001. The produce of the
sale of gunpowder shoa7l a diminution of 426,0001.,
owing to the difficulties thrown in the way of the
sale by the Administration, in consequence of poli-
tical considerations. The collection of the direct
taxes has been unusually favourable, the sum received
up to the 30th of June having been 175,925,0001.,
which gives 43 per cent. of the whole bUM to be re-
ceived for the year, and is nearly five millions more
than was due up to that period.
The Committee on the Budget was occupied yes-
terday with the important question of ways and
means applicable to the expenses of the extraordinary
public works, a question reserved to the end of its
deliberations. After having heard the Minister of
Finance, the Committee, in concert with him, pro-
poses the creation of rentes on the State for a sum
equal in amount to that set down in the budget of
expenses for the execution of extraordinary works,
namely, upwards of 50 millions.
We read in the Bulletin de Paris—" It has been
said that M. TEUERS intended to speak in the debate
on the question of the revision of the Constitution.
This statement is erroneous. M. Tarsus has de-
clared that he will not speak on this occasion."
The Monzteur du ..Soir says—" Woiktnen have
commenced preparations in the principal apartments
of the Hotel de Ville for slits which is to be offered
by the city to the members of the Royal Commission of
the Exhibition of London. M. BERGER, Prefect of
the Seine, is to leave this week for England, in order
to make the invitations. It is hoped that Prince
ALBERT, President of the Commission, the LORD
Maro.a, and several of the Ministers wilt attend the
file."
The Council of State has expressed a decided opi-
nion that LEDEU RoLLIN, being under a judicial con-
demnation, would be ineligible for the Presidency, but
that the Prince Joitiviize, although comprised in the
decree of banishment against his family, might le-
gally be elected.
The Nemenchas, an Arab tribe in the province of
Constantine, have broken out into open rebellion.
The Bourse was more animated than it usually is at
this season of the year. The Five per Cents. opened
at 94t. 750., and fell to 94f. 60e., but rose subsequently
to 951. 5c., at which price they closed f9r the end of
the month.; the Three per Cents. closed at 57f.;
