MR. LEVESON GOWER.—We regret to state that
a somewhat serious accident happened on IVesines-
day to Mr. J. Levoson Gower, of Horkesley, one of the
county magistrates of the Lexd6n and Winstree division.
Mr. Gower was riding his horse along the Bergh°lt-road on
his way to the Colchester flower-show, his carriage contain-
ing a party of ladies being in advance. Mr. Gower's horse
shied and threw him, injuring his head and neck, and he
lay for some time by the road side bleeding. Mr. Gower',
servant, who was riding behind, proceeded to his master',
assistance, and the injured gentleman being placed in his
carriage was driven home. Mr. Philbrick, surgeon, of
Colchester, was shortly in attendance upon him, and we
aro happy to hear from that gentleman that his patient was
as well as could be expected, no bones being broken, and
it was hoped that he K as not soriously injurod.—Chelins-
ford Chronicle.

The Journal de Frankfort publishes the follow-
ing :—‘, A certificate of studies has been communi-
cated to us, which was delivered at the expiration
of the half-year 1821-2 to the future Emperor
Napoleon 111., who was at that time in the fifth class
of the College of St. Anne, at Augsburg. The docu-
ment is as follows :—' No. 21. Prince Charles Louis
Napoleon, son of the Duke de St. Leu, of Rome ;
born at Paris ; belonging to the Catholic reli-
gion ; aged fourteen years and five months ;
gifted with many good qualities, in the develop-
ment of which he has laboured with much zeal,
so that he has made good advancement in the
German language, in Latin, and in arithmetic, and
pretty good in Greek and in history—in general,
therefore, considerable progress. His quiet manner
towards his fellow-pupils is deserving of praise, as
also the respect and gratefulness with which he has
accepted even disagreeable tasks. He has the 24th
place ; the difficulties of the German language, of
which he is not yet master, have prevented him
from obtaining a higher rank. Besides he is
publicly commended, and he can pass into a
superior class.' The certificate for the preceding
six months rays :—' This pupil possesses an ardent
feeling for all that is elevated, good, and beautiful ;
he would have made great progress if illness had
not on several occasions prevented him from at-
tending the class.'"

THE SETT/AGE OF TOWNS.

A mass of valuable information on this subject has
just been issued from the press. The papers by
various authors read at the congress on the sewage
of towns held at Leamington,Warwickshire, last year
have been gathered into a volume. It is stated
in
the introduction to the papers that one chief object
of the congress has been attained in making plain the
nature and causes of the failures in our sanitary ar-
rangements, and the many evils which have arisen
out of them, owing to the unnatural admixture of
excreta with large quantities of water, and to the pre-
vailing custom of employing water as the vehicle for
their removal out of our houses. It is argued that
vast benefits will accrue to the community at large
from ceasing to use water, and, in place of water,
resorting to the natural agency of earth, which is
as old as the creation itself. Experience has taught
that, after the admixture of water with excreta, a
putrid fermentation and decomposition result. The
noxious gases generated while this decomposition is
in progress fill our habitations with impure air, and
become the frequent cause of epidemics, while the
decomposing sewage water, escaping from the Wl'
perfectly constructed sewers percolates into the wells
of drinking water. Mr. Hitchman goes on to state
that the result of irrigation with sewage water
unsatisfactory in a commercial point of view, and of
doubtful value agriculturally; while, in a sanitary
point of view, the effects of saturating a large
sur-
face of land with decomposed sewage water becomes
a still further source of evil. Both the liquid
and solid excreta may be made portable and
inoffensive, and removed from houses with
regularity by a staff of officers duly appointed.
By the exclusion of water, and the mixture of earth
with excreta, which is in accordance with the laws
of nature, all the evils of a putrefactive decomposi
tion are avoided. The working of the earth-closet
system at Baron Rothschild's estate is described by
Mr. James to be perfectly successful. " The cot'
tagers express themselves grateful for this addition
to their health and comfort. The village has uulti
no foul smells, nor are the ditches any longer fillet'
with liquid filth." This is the result of a simPle
mixture of dry earth with the soil ; and is in accord'
ance with the Divine command, received throng°
the great lawgiver Moses, in his well-known rule
for the sanitary arrangement of the Jewish 014;
Mr. Garnett, of Quernmore-park, describes the
rf
sult of the same system in the neighbourhood (3'. 1 0
Lancaster thus :—" The dry earth system 110 ,
operation affords accommodation to about 200 faul.,ll
lies, besides 170 bands employed in a cotton ral`
180 in a iron foundry, 350 in a large waggon Wol.l°o'
180 boys in the Royal Grammar School, 340 cbildffie
in the National Schools, and to 12 cells in the Cast
of Lancaster, occupied by male prisoners, and in
case has any complaint been made ; on the COII,O
trary, the system, after having had a fair trial!
pronounced to be successful. Mr. Craig, treytll/:
the subject as one of national as well as sanitary
importance, shows that Austria is almost banklll„i
in her exchequer, mainly through the exhaustion;
the soil. Until recently she exported her bone mautii.oo
and threw away her sewage into the Danube; 1/1.1_,0
China and Japan have turned both to profitable;
on the land. Belgium, with the poorest of Orlo,
maintains the greatest amount of population iuP ip
portion to the extent of its surface of any nati_A°l3lo.
Europe, and sustains at the same time the Pru".o,
tive powers of the soil by a liberal and judiciousl3l,l
plication of manure to the land. If Engialaci, 100
adopted, -long ago, the dry earth system which
been found to work so successfully on Baron 11° and
child's estate, at Lancaster and at other places' jog
had been more practical and prudent in return
the guano to the soil, instead of throwing tmLl-g
;400
source of national wealth into her rivers, to poo,o
fish, pollute the water, and disseminate disease joiv
death, thousands of lives destroyed through dritie,
ing impure water in times when cholera was' ePO 030
mic might possibly have been saved. But, ° ago'
other hand, the danger to be avoided by the tthe
cates of the earth closet is its near approach 1:0
abominable cesspool. In the event of the dry De
system becoming general, would there nut,orrei
tendency to allow the refuse to remain ; or, 0:3
moving it in large quantities, would it not vereato
doing away with a nuisance in one place W
another at a distance?
