CRUEL 7 I' 70 CALVES.

Every cry of anguish, however weak and help-
less, is sure to find a generous echo somewhere.
Even the moan of the wretched calves whose
miserable death we lately touched upon has met
with pity. It is well to state at length what the
helpless creatures endure in order that the veal
may he made white. The calf is dragged away from
its mother into shambles reeking with the odour of
blood, which terrifies quadrupeds. It is so fastened
that it cannot lie down, stabbed in the jugular vein,
and left to mom and bleed till it faints. Then a
plug of tow is pushed into the wound. When a
human being undergoes such a loss of blood, ho
feels a swimming of the head, a strange sinking,
painful respiration, and a sense of fear, which is
dreadful to bear. The calf suffers the same tor-
ments. Oa recovering a little, it gets cruel to keep
up the action of the heart, and the vein is again
opened. If no blood issues, the tail is twisted or the
animal is tortured with kicks and blows to stimulate
the flow, till at last not a drop more will come. The
sufferings of this further haemorrhage are dreadful ;
the breath is only fetched by gasps ; the body
' loses its heat and shudders ; the throat is parched
with a horrible thirst, so that the animal can with
difficulty cry or moan. When the butcher has got
the calf to this stage, he knows that he must kill
it soon, and in the midst of the agony it is slung
up by the heels, head downwards, the skin of the
neck is cut, the vessels underneath are divided, and
it is again beaten to get the last drops of blood
away by means of its anguish. Often, while the
creature is still alive, the skin is, loosened in certain
places, in order that air may blow in. At last the
victim is permitted to die ; but not till the execrable
suffering has been prolonged always for hours, and
sometimes even for days. The new-born beast has
to bear all this torment in order that veal may come
white to our tables. The natural colour is pink,
and the flesh thus cooked is infinitely more whole-
some and savoury ; but an unhappy fashion has
ruled that we should eat calves' meat in a bloodless
state, and all the bitter cruelty is therefore perpe-
trated. Would English housewives patronise the
detestable system any longer, even though the veal,
as they have it, were healthier and better than the
natural carcase? If we must kill the lower creatures
for our food, there ought not to be the slightest un-
necessary pain inflicted. We have the right to
butcher them, but we have no right to torment them,
so that they feel an age of misery in dying. At
any rate, grace before meat, over whitened veal, is
a mockery that surely few can now venture on,
when it is known that the blessing has to be asked
over the flesh of a creature to which we have shown
such elaborate and ingenious mercilessness as no-
thing but the devil of custom could PerPetnate.—

yrison. 7.1 )z.
Yesterday afternoon Mr. I.ltri
Surrey coroner, held an inquiry, at I Car4rveinfvg
•,
lane Gaol, respecting the death of Itlr. Trtlia;
Watson, aged 72 years. The deceased was a trades-
man. carrying on the business of a glass and china
dealer at No. 335, Old Kent-road. lie had been
very ill for the last 18 weeks, and the evidence
proved that on Monday, the 27th of May, the
officers of the sheriff of Surrey arrested him for a
trade debt of £3l 2s. 9d. The men entered his
bed-mom and showed him their authority t,, arrest
him at the suit of his creditor, a dealer in glass, Mi.
Philip Jacobs, of Crown-street, Finsbury. Ile was
suffering from disease of the lungs, and he said " I
am dying ; I shall never get over this." Ile begged
hard to be allowed to die on the bed, but the officers
replied, " We must do our duty," and they said
that they could only. leave him there if he 'mid the
debt and costs, £3l 16s. The unfortunate man
was under medical treatment, and his nurse and
friends entreated of the officers not to " take a dying
man." They wrapped him up iu a blanket, and he
was carried to a cab that was outside the street door.'
When in the cab the following certificate was read
to the officers:--" It having come to my knowledge
that it is in contemplation to remove Mr. Watson,
a patient under my charge, from his sick bed by
violence, I beg to express my opinion that such a step
would be fraught with great peril to the patient's
life, and 1 hereby call the attention of all whom it
may concern to the grave responsibility which will
attach to all who engage in this proceeding in the
not improbable event of its proving fatal.—Samuel
Hayne,. M.R.C.S., medical registrar to St. Thomas's
Hospital. St. George's-road, Camberwell, May 27."
When this certificate was read one of . the officers
replied, "Twenty doctors' certificates would not
save him ; Shylock must bare his pound of flesh.
If he dies on the road we Must take him. It is our
duty, and if we did not do it we should lose our
expenses." It further appeared that the nurse was
allowed to attend the deceased in the prison .from 9
in the morning till 7in the evening. The coroner
remarked that if the removal of the deceased was
legal, and it was carried out as a duty, and death
had not ensued in consequence of the act of remo-
val, the parties concerned in it could 'apt be held
criminally responsible. If the sheriff of Surrey had
not arrested the deceased, .the creditor could have
sued him for the debt and costs. The officers ap-
peared e
to have used
him reasonable care.

THE NEW METROPOLITAN MEAT AND
POULTRY-1114RKET.

Yesterday the Corporation of London, through
their Markets Improvement Committee, of which
Mr. H. Lowman Taylor is chairman, laid the foun-
dation stone of a new meat and poultry-market for
the whole metropolis, for which purpose they have
been empowered by Act of Pirliament to raise a
sum of £235,000, and an additional sum of.
£70,000 for the coast of a new street connecting
the market with Victoria-street.
The site of the market now in course of erection
is on the north side of Long-lane, partly on ancient
Smithfield itself, and partly on land purchased for
the purpose, and over the goods depot of the Great
Western and Metropolitan Railways. The building,
which has been designed by Mr. Horace Jones,
the City architect, will be 631 feet long from
cast to west, and 245,feet Wide from north to south,
the area enclosed being somewhat more than 3f
acres. The preliminary work of clearing the ground
has been of a formidable kind. Before any part of
the superstructure could be begun upwards of
300,000 cubic yards of earth had to be removed
about 2,000 rods of brickwork executed in vaults,'
arches, and retaining walls, and 3,000 tons of
wrought iron formed into 240 niltrane. More than
five miles length in all of wrought-iron girders had
to be prepared and placed in position, and upwards
of five acres of brickwork have been covered with
asphalte or concrete. A new road, 60 feet wide,
will be formed on the north side of the market
building, and continued westward to a junction with
Farringdon-road. New roads of the same width will
also be constructed on the east and west sides, Long-
lane will be widened to 60 feet, and a public road-
way, 50 feet wide, will pass through the centre of
the building from north to south, thus connecting
Smithfield with St. John-street-road. A central
avenue 25 feet wide, with shops facing each other,
will run through the entire length of the market
from east to west, with side passages and shops
branching off to the north and south, and the whole
building will be well ventilated. Refreshment rooms
will be provi led at its four corners, as will also post
and telegraph officesin central and convenient places.
The position of the market directly over the railway
depot will afford great facilities for the direct trans-
fer of the meat from the vans to the shops by means
of hoists placed at various convenient points
throughout the building, and there will be for pas.
sengers a staircase communicating with the railway
below. The roof of the building will be carried
on wrought-iron plate girders, supported by 240
cast-iron columns 26 feet high, and it has been so
designed as to combine the utmost amount of ven-
tilation and light with the effectual exclusion of the
weather and sunshine. The part of the roof imme-
diately over the central avenue especially, will, in
its semicircular ribs and ornamental spandrils, give
a pleasing architectural appearance to the interior.
The roof over the roadway, with similar arrange-
ments for light and heat, will be elliptical in form,
of wrought iron, and filled in with light ornamental
ironwork.

. _
Externally the market building will present an
arcaded screened wall 33 feet high, in the style of
the cinque-cents or Renaissance, and the four 4°
angles of the structure will be marked by towers 90
feet high and octagonal at the tops. The en-
trances to the main road way will be ornamented
with arched pediments and abutments of clustered
pilasters. The gateways at intervals in the fronts
leading to the side passages will be of rich, open,
cast-iron scrollwork, and the elevations of the east
and west ends will have their central features in the
gateways to the central avenue rising boldly above
the general line of front.
The Corporation have been authorised to impose
a light toll of a farthing for every 211 b. on all meat
conveyed to the market by rail or otherwise, with a
view to the gradual liquidation of those sums of
£235,000 and £70,000, with interest, and upon that
liquidation the toll will cease.
After the ceremony of laying the chief corner-
stone, which was performed by Mr. Lowman Taylor,
the Markets Improvement Committee, with a
limited number of guests, dined together at the
Trafalgar at Greenwich in honour of the occasion.

Republican newspapers have been established at
Newburn (North Carolina) and at Selma (Alabama).
