GUTTA PERCH A. TUBING for WATERING
GARDENS.
The GUTTA PERCIIA COMPANY have the pleasure to acknow-
ledge the receipt of the following testimonial from Sir. J. Farrah,
Gardener to Boswell Middleton Jalland, Esq., of Ilolderness-house,
near llnli.
I have had 400 feet of your Gutta Percha Tubing, in lengths of
100 feet each, with union joint, in use for the last twelve months for
watering these gardens, and I find it to answer better than any-
thing I have ever yet tried.
" The pressure of the water is very considerable, but this has not
the slightest effect on the tubing.
" I consider this tubing to be a most valuable invention for gar-
deners, inasmuch as it enables us to water our gardens in about one-
ha'f the !itne, and with one half the labour formerly required.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
emences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
Melt have produced more misery in Vouth, degradation in Man-
"ood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
articularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
'heir physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the h‘qiith. happiness, and privileges io which every human being is
e'ititled.

It Is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
p inciples of personal management which cannot be violated with-
oat incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret suc •
caed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those penalties
nay be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be'removed,
ml how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and, above all,
hat there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

CDNVICT PEISONg.—The fourth annual report
is just out. 2,277 persona of both sexes were in durance
in the Government prisons on the let of January, 1858,
there being accommodation for 3,486 if required. Only
21 were in custody in the county and city gaols. 29
male criminals were sentenced to transportation last
year, and 266 to penal servitude (eight for life). Eight
female convicts were transported, and 123 condemned
to penal servitude. 590 were discharged uncondition-
allo, 22 on petition, and 293 were released on " orders
of license."

THE MURDER NEAR COVENTRY.—Yesterday the ad•
journed inquest respec ing the death of a man named
Owen, whose body was found in the road at Ryton,
near Coventry, was re9umed at the Blacksmiths' Arms
there, before Mr. W. S. Poole, coroner. A surgeon
deposed that the deceased died from a gunshot wound
in the neck, and gave his opinion that the gun must
have been fired from within a f•iot of the deceased, Two
men named Kimberley and Ringroe, who have been
taken into custody on suspicion of having been con-
cerned in the crime, were present, and several witnesses
were examined. Their evidence, however, did not
directly inculpate the pr sonere. The inquest was ad•
journed, in order that further information might be
obtained.

BAPTISM IN Loops.—At Chicago last week (says an
American paper) a rather amusing scene took place
during the baptism of a young lady by the pastor of the
Tabernacle. The minister requested her to assume the
dress peculiar to such an occasion, but she declined to
take off her hooped skirt; the minister told her of the
inconvenience that must result from her obstinacy, but
she persisted. When she came to descend into the bath,
the inflated skirt touched the water and rose up around
her like a balloon. Her bead was lost to the congrega-
tion, she was swallowed up in the swelling skirt ; the
minister tried to force her down into the bath, but she
was kept above the surface by the floating properties of
the crinoline, and was buoyed up so successfully that it
was not until after much difficulty and many forcible
attempts to submerge the lady, the minister succeeded
in baptising the fsir one. Finally, it was effected, to the
relief of the minister and the seriously-inclined audience,
who could not keep from laughing in their pocket-
' handkerchiefs.

SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY•

Dr Letheby, medical officer of health, presented
the following report to the Comathsioners of Sewers
yesterday '
"Gentlemen,—The Inspector's returns, which
are before you, relate to 194 houses that have been
inspected during the week, of which 64 are com-
mon lodginu-houses, and I beg to submit a list of
48 places that require your orders for their sanitary
improvement.

" STATE OF THE VAULTS OF THE CITY CHURCHES.

" In accordance with your instructions, I visited
the Church of St. Botolph, Bishopsgate, on Fri-
day last, and examined the state of the public
vaults, and the mode which is adopted for heating
the church.i I was accompanied on my visit by
your engineer, Mr. Haywood, and we were of
opinion that the vault, which extends •under the
graveyard, should be permanently closed. The
coffins, which are in a very deeayedstate should
be carefully arranged upon the floor of the vault,
and covered to the depth of two feet with earth.
The entrance, which is from the general vault
under the church, should be bricked up ; and I
am likewise of opinion thatsome means should be
adopted for ventilating the vault otherwise than
into the public way. I also agree with Mr.
Granger, the Government inspector, that the pre-
sent means of warming the church by means of
hot air drawn from the vaults should be at once
abandoned, for it is fraught with danger to the
health of those who frequent the church. I speak
confidently of this matter because of the experience
which we have recently had of the pernicious ef-
fects of the vapours from these vaults on the human
system. For about two months [have been occu-
pied with Mr. Granger in inspectiiig the vaults of
some of the City churches, and we have found that
the emanations from the bodies have been so hurt-
ful to us that we have been compelled to discontinue
the inspection for nearly a month. Mr. Granger
has been affected with a sort of low fever, accom-
panied withintense nausea and greatprostration of
vital power. The effects on me are somewhat simi-
lar, but, instead of nausea, there has been an in-
tractable diarrhoea ; and Dr. W. Lewis informs me
that when he was engaged a few years ago in the
same inquily, concerning the state of the vaults in
the City churches, he was affected in a similar man-
ner, and, like us, was often obliged to discontinue
the work, and could never" enture upon the in-
spec:ion oftener than twice a week. Now, in our
cases it may be said that we are greatly seasoned
to the work ; for Mr. Granger has almost lived in
the dissecting-room for the last 30 years, and my
own occupations are frequently with putrid organic
vapours. If, therefore, these miasma can exert
such powerful effects upon us, it may readily be
imagined that they are nut less injurious to the
public generally. The results of our inspections
up to the present time are, that in the vaults of 25
of the City churches, there are not less than 5,700
dead bodies, and_ this number does not include the
burials that have taken place under the aisles of the
nrches . If the same proportion holds in respect of
all the City churches, there are about 16,000 corpses
beneath the pews occupied by Sunday congrega-
tion.. In some cases the effluvium from the vaults
is most offensive ; for although it is the general
practice to confine the body in a lead coffin, yet
the metal gives way after a longer or a shorter
time, and there oozes out a dark, treacle-I ke liquid
which stinks abominably, and which is, I believe,
a most deadly poison. I have seen this escaping
from a lead coffin that had been deposited in the
vault for more than 100 years, so that there is no
saying for how long a time the mischief of decay
and slow corruption may be carried on. Again,
the way in which the coffins are piled up on each
other leads to the crushing in of the lowermost
of the series when the wood decays, and then the
putrid matter is squashed out through the fissures
of the broken coffins. In many cases the vaults
are entered by imperfectly closed traps or doors
from the geueral area of the church, and the vaults
are either not ventilated at all, or they are venti-
lated into the public way, so that there steams out
incessantly a poisoning vapour that may be the
cause of much mischief. Complaints have sometimes
been made, either by the congregation or the passers-
by, of the foul smells from the vaults, and iu the for-
mer case it is generally noticed at night, when the
churchislighted up with gas, and when the warmrari-
fied air rises out of the church and draws from the
graves and vaults the mephitic gases which have
accumulated during the week. It is true that in
most cases precaution is taken to shut in the vapours
by means of stone and cement'; but so powerful in
its action is the. diffusive law of gases that, with
all our precau ions of wood and lead and stone, the
vapours will find an outlet, and will mix with the
surrounding atmosphere. The remedy therefore
for the evil is to divert the gases from the vaults
into a proper channel ; and by conveying them
through a shaft to a high level, they may be safely
disposed of. This has been done in the case of the
Roman Catholic Chapel in Moorfields, and, as I
hope, with public advantage. A better mode of
disposing of the remains is to arrange the coffins on
the floor of the vault, and cover them with dry lime,
or fresh earth, as has been done in the vaults of All-
hallows, London-wall; and better still, to cover all
with a layer of peat charcoal to the depth of six
inches, and to shut off all communication with the
interior of the Church. This, however, is a mat-
t r which will form the subject of a report by Mr.
Granger to the Secretary of State for the Home
Department, and I trust that our notice of it will be
the means of remedying the evil. Wh. n our in-
spections are finished—for as yet we have only seen
about one third of the City Churches—l shall sub-
mit the results to you in the form of a general
report,—l am, &c.,
