susceptibility of the brain within to outward impressions.
The restless fiery eye indicated that greater degree of
susceptibility ; everything startled the beast so charac
terhed, and it was constantly on the move. The muscu-
lar action quickened the respiration, a greater amount of
oxygen was admitted into the system, and the organic
combustion went on so rapidly, that the carbon and
hydrogen, which formed the basis of fat, were exhausted
as fast as they were supplied to the system, by the vege'
table food. The animal with the qniet good-natured eye
took things much more easily, and accommodated itself
with as little trouble and movement as possible to the
circumstances in which it found itself. Its digestion
was not affected by excitement, its breathing was regu-
lar and not too quick—there was no waste by undue mus-
cular action, and no excess of oxygen ; and conse-
quently the combustible elements of the vegetable food
wera rapidly accumulated, and the beast brought, with
great saving of time and expense, to the condition prized
by the butcher. Gentlemen, I have said that I wished
more particularly to offer to your notice on this occa-
sion, a few observations on the benefits to agriculture de-
rivable from connecting with it the best principles of the
drainage and sewerage which it has lately been my duty
to consider in relation to the improvement of the health
of towns. I know no place better calculated to illustrate
the reciprocal benefits which the inhabitants within and
the lands without a town may derive from connecting
the improvements of sewerage with those of agriculture,
than the Wien of Lancaster. It is situated on a hill, al
most every house has the advantage of a natural declivity
for its drainage, and a rich tract of land intervenes be-
tween the hill and the river, which winds round the
base. I allude to the marsh land; and it is not without
feelings of regret, not unmingled, as a townsman, with
feelings of shame, that it still deserves the name which
it hai always borne. The thick mist that shrouds it at
early dawn, and settles upon it at eventide, told too plainly,
as I viewed that rich expanse from the windows of my
present abode, that the common principles of effective
drainage, now uaiversallf recognised to lay at the
foundation of the productiveness and full value of the
land, had still to be applied to fields held in trust for the
benefit of the town sad its ancient freemen. In their
present state the best land, yielding what is called the
marsh grass lets for 41. per acre, the greater part of the
low land which has not the advantage of a natural de-
clivity, for about 30s. per acre. In Edinburgh the low
land to the east of the city produces 151. per acre.
Yet by nature that land is of a poorer quality than our
marsh lands. Here, then, is a capital fact. How is it
to be explained ? Simply that the Scotch, premising
deep and efficient drainage, irrigate those meadows with
sewer-water. Gentlemen, our town marsh lands are
neither efficiently drained nor irrigated ; nor is any part
of the sewer-water applied to their fertilisation; the soil
has become adhesive and deteriorated by the long action
of superfluous moisture, which might so readily be drained
off into the neighbouring river. But without drainage,
irrigation is impracticable. I fear that this word, which
must become so important and significant in the science
of agriculture, is new in that sense to many here pre-
sent. Mr. ames Dean, whose evidence before the
Health of Towns Commission you will find in the
volumes which I have deposited in the public library of
the town, states that at Ashburton in Devonshire, where
they have carried on the practice of irrigation for more
than forty years, they have grass for the ewes and lambs
a full month earlier than in most other situations not so
treated, and at a time when lambs produce double or
treble the price they usually sell for at other periods. In
its present exhausted and undrained condition your
marsh lands, I perceive, produce rushes, carex, and the
comparatively innutritious stoloniferous grasses. You
now can only amend the produce by the rude, laborious,
and comparatively expensive application of solid manure
as top-dressing. Efficient drainage alone would produce
a diminution, and ultimately extirpation of -the rushes
and carex ; irrigation would produce or promote
the vigorous and effective growth of the poas, the
fescues, and the vernal grass all abounding in nutritive
matter, consisting of sugar, mucilage and extract.
Irrigation with sewer-water would be followed by such
a degree of productiveness as would unquestion-
ably raise the value of the present marsh land, situated
as it is near a populous and manufacturing town, to the
value which land similarly treated has acquired in Edin-
burgh. Under the present system of sewerage of Lan-
caster, this last and most important application to the
neighbouring land is impossible. The contents of the
town soughs and drains—which are as valuable when
rightly applied, as they are noxious and detrimental
when detained in or near a town by a bad system of
sewerage—are ultimately received into the old mill-race;
this race, so named on the principle of the Lem a non
lucendo, commencing from Dalton-dam extends through
the lower parts of the town from the Green Area to the
old bridge, where it empties itself into the tidal river.
At low water its contents flow sluggishly towards that
outlet ; at spring tides they are driven back towards
their source ; the miasmata then rise abundantly from
your untrapped gully-holes ; the decomposed matter is
well mixed and agitated by this flux and reflux ; and the
vile odours of the stream, which is, in fact, an elongated
cess-pool, have led by degrees to the expensive operation
of arching it over through nearly its whole extent. My
friend Mr. George Burrow, through whose garden this
ditch receptacle of the sewers flows, has recently been
compelled by its offensiveness to cover it over at an
expense of upwards of one hundred pounds. Why, for
that sum, or less, you might have the requisite flood-gates
and other machinery erected at the outlet of the stream
which would ensure a constant and more rapid flow of
the whole mill-course into the river;—for the .sums that
must have been expended in bringing over the whole ex-
tent of the mill down from Germany-bridge to Bridge-
lane, you might have established an efficient system of
sewerage for the whole town, admitting also of its appli-
cation to the agriculture of the adjacent lands. And
what has been gained by thus hiding this noisome feature
of the sewerage of Lancaster from public view?
" It does but skin and film the ulcerous place,
Whiles rank corruption, mining all within
Infects unseen."
I find the records of the public infirmary and the testi-
mony of every medical man in private practice concur in
pointing out the vicinity of the mill-course, as the most
common and fertile source of fever. I hold in my hand
a pamphlet, published in 1875, by the late highly re-
spected Dr. Campbell, giving an account of a typhus fever,
which raged in Lancaster in the years 1782-3 and 4, of
which 500 cases fell under the doctor's observation at that
early period of his career. The sources of febrile mias-
mata from imperfect sewerage, bad ventilation, and the
accumulation of privy-middens, in crowded and ill-
built courts and alleys continue unaltered, unabated
to the present day. There needs but the coincidence—
a very possible one—of certain conditions of atmos-
phere, with unfavourable seasons, with the existing local
causes, to excite an equal or more extensive outbreak of
typhus, or of some other and more fatal form of conta-
gious disease. I shall merely repeat that the natural
advantages of Lancaster are such as to render the adop-
tion of an efficient system of drainage and sewerage—
and here I beg to say, that the sewerage of the Castle
and the town must be combined into one and the same
efficient system—that such a system, removing the evils
and dangers of the present, and involving the benefits of
the application of the products to the adjacent lands,
may be carried out with every prospect of a remunera-
tive interest for the capital expended. Time permits
not now for an exposition of the facts and details which
bear out and demonstrate the truth of that asser-
tion. I trust I shall be able to make it clear in the
report on the sanitory condition of this town,
which I shall have to submit to the Commission for
those inquiries, of which I have the honour to be a mem-
ber. In the meanwhile I have sent copies of the
report laid before the Houses of Parliament last session
to the library of the Amicable Society, and to the Medi-
cal Book Club, and recommend to those more especially
interested on the subject, the evidence of Mr. Hawkes-
ley, Captain Vetch, and Mr. James Dean. Gentlemen,
the investigations requisite for a right knowledge of the
best, and cheapest, and most effectual mode of improving
the health of towns, and applying the sewerage to the
advancement of agriculture have been carried on and
completed to such an extent, the means of being ac-
quainted with these investigations and discoveries are
so easy, that ignorance can no longer be pleaded as an
excuse for passiveness and inert supineness in those who
are intrusted with the important trusts connected with
the health of a town, or the productiveness of common
lands in the neighbourhood, for the benefit of that town
and its inhabitants. Gentlemen who accept such honour-
able and important trusts should look well to the re-
sponsibilities which they incur by that Act. Supine in-
activity in remedial measures for the improvement of
health, or in agricultural operations for the improve-
ment of the land, can only. bo excused by the plea of ig-
norance. But ignorance is now impossible, or if wilful,
most culpable. And knowledge has its duties as well as
its delights. It is a serious thing if, atfer the acquisition
of the knowledge of an evil, of its nature, and of its easy
and practicable removal, any unnecessary delay be per-
mitted in commencing the cure. I would that every
preacher, of whatever sect and denomination, would aid
in bringing home to the bosoms of those men who have
taken upon themselves the official trusts on which .the
health and prosperity of a community essentially de-
pend, the awful nature of the responsibility of such
trusts. I trust, and most willingly believe, that the ma-
gistrates who regulate the internal economy of the gaol,
and the gentlemen of the town who form the Commis-
sioners of sewerage and pavement, and manage the com-
mon lands for the benefit of the town and the aged free-
men, need no such exhortation ; but that considering
impartially the evidence in proof of the practicability of
an improved sewerage, and its application to agricul-
ture, they will not wait for the application of a compul-
sary superior power to commence the requisite opera-
tions. It would be a 'source of just pride, if Lancester
should take the lead in the adoption of the measures re-
commended by the Commission for the Health of Towns,
and afford, as it undoubtedly would, from its great na-
tural advantages, the example of a sufficient water sup-
ply, an effective sewerage, and a valuable and perma-
nent source of productiveness in the neighbouring lands,
obtained by an outlay, which would prove to have been a
most profitable investment. Should he prove to have

been at all instrumental in promoting this most impor-
tant and desirable effect, Professor Owen concluded by
observing, that he should feel that he had done some-
thing more than merely wish the welfare of the Lan
caster Agricultural Society.—(Loud cheers.)

Itroops of littera!' Singh out of two fox
doing tn,; same with the others ; but the\-.llfitharBjah,
who was highly ,;:.:Tnsed at the Raja's cotittifctt, on 0244
I occasion, peremptorily Io,tade him to execute his Pur-
pose, threatening, at the same `ime, that he would not
refrain from extreme measures if GooLb Singh renderd
such interference necessary. The writer of this assures
the public, that there have been several (Efferent
versions of the fate of Peshora Singh ; but that the fol-
lowing is correct :—When he ran away from battle, int
his arrival at Kurrian, he was informed that if the Raja
Sahib found him he would kill him, Fearing for his life
he ran away to Multan. Surjun Singh hearing this, in-
formed the Raja Sahib of it, who dispatched Maher
Singh to bring him the Raja Sahib. The Prince has-
ing arrived, he was accordingly brought, with his mother,
before the Raja Sahib, who bestowed the Governorship
of Kirriallah on him, with a salary of 60,000 rupees a
year. Misher Laub Singh and Meean Laub Singh were
detected to have embezzled an enormous sum from the
Treasury of Lahore, and have been in consequence dis-
missed from the Raja Sahib's service. The Raja Sahib
has given orders to every one of the surdars in the Sheik
territories to engage 1,000 soldiers, who are to be either
Puthans or Affghans. The mother of the Maharajah
has quarrelled with the Raja Sahib and Pundit Jonah.
The present pension allowed to her Highness of I,ooors.
per day was found to be too small a stipend, and an in-
crease of another 500 to the 1,000 was according applied
fur ; this the above personages refused to grant, and have,
therefore, incurred her Highness's serious displeasure.
AUGUST B.—Surdah Lenah Singh writes ,to his Ma-
jesty that he is raising levies at Sareiez, a province of
Cashmere, and that after this has been accomplished he
will return with his troops to Lahore. Ajeet Singh, it
was reported in Court, has excited a rebellion among the
inhabitants of Lahore Pinder, and is plundering and
otherwilie persecuting such as have repelled his insinu-
ations and continued firm to the Maharajah, with great
cruelty. Alarmed at this intelligence, the Maharajah
consulted with the Raja Sahib on the measures expe
dient for this occasion, and was advised to dispatch
troops who should subdue the insurgents. But his Ma-
jesty contented himself by addressing to the Vakeel
of the rebel chief a letter, direCting
vise his employer to desist front
pro-
ceedings.
From Lahore we have letters to the 6‘lllth of July,
without, however, any items of particular interest.
Goolab Singh continues to hold out against the solicit-
ations of his nephew for a reconciliation, and it is
strongly reported that he has been joined by Meean
Lab Sing, who lately took leave from the durbar, and is.
known to be now at Jumboo. A son of Meean Singh,
chief of some consequence, has been seized and put to
death in Cashmere; and the proceedings against the Sir-
dars, originating mostly with the Pundit Jella,will doubt-
less work out the revolution, which is, on all hands, ex-
pected to take place shortly after the troops return to
the capital. Sizaiar Mungul Singh (a brother-in-law of
Kurruck Singh) who put down the Tawana insurrection,
is on his way back to Lahom. He did not succeed
in capturing Futteh Khan, but has :..-r ought with him the
wife and children of that chief. Mungul Singh was shot
in the arm, and is reputed a good soldier. nothing is
known of the result of the border dispute, thougi: it is
suspected to have been fomented by Heera Singh.
(From the Delhi Gazette, Oct. 10.

Our letters from Sukkur are to the 29th or 30th ult
we cannot exactly say which. One of our friends has
obligingly gone into a detail of all that passed of late,
and we shall give from his letter such particulars as
have been hitherto but partially dwelt on, though at the
risk of a little repetition. Between two and three
hundred names of culprits in the 64th Infantry, had
been given in to the General by the European and
native officers, when called upon to furnish lists of the

arose entirely out of former transactions chiefly enacted
between Kurnaul and Ferozepore, and into the secret of
which our valued correspondent " Goban Saer" long since
admitted the public; and which, though of a grave and se-
rious nature, may be extenuated to a certain extent by
the reflection that had the 64th not been induced some-
how or other to go down, no power possessed by Go-
vernment would have succeeded in coercing them and
others to march from Ferozepore; a dilemma the conse-
quences of which are too dreadful to think of. IN.P are
glad to hear that all continued quiet since the trials We-
meneed, and that the men do the duty " with the usut
inditizTence of the native." The order regarding thee
discharge of officers and men alluded to before, seems,
as we read the communication before us, to have been in-
tended to embrace the European officers; but surely Sir
Charles Napier cannot the power which such an
order would presume; or if he has, we must confess it
is in very dangerous hands. We apprehend, however,
there is some mistake in this matter: On the clay the
64th were deprived of their colours, the regiment) was
wheeled into a hollow square, the European company
fronting the colours, when Captain Shortreed, who
had been in command of the corps since the arrest of
Captain Burt, explained the station orders, and the co-
lours were taken out of the square and delivered over to
the officer commanding the party. The scene is said, and
we should think truly so, to have been most humiliatino.
Captain White, of the 69th, was appointed to act as De-
puty Judge Advocate-General on the trials, and we ard
told that a better selection could not have been made. In
fact, all the acts of General Hunter on this unfortunate
occasion are pronounced by our friends at Sukkur to
have been most judicious, considering the means at his
disposal. It is believed that Sir Charles is not quite so,-
tisfied, but that the General has the entire approbation
of Sir Hugh Gough, of the Adjutant-General, and of
the Governor-General in Council. Our latest leeters
announce that the trials had been all concluded, sad
though nothing positive can, of course, be known regard-
ing the sentences pronounced, it is strongly suspected
that the punishment of death has been awarded in several
cases, especially in those of the sepop who personated
the Governor-General, Commander-in-Chief, and °then
members of Council, and who are reported to have formed
a punchayet in the lines, protected during their consults.-
dons by a chain of sentries, with orders not to allow any
one to interfere or enter the magic circle without being
duly ushered in, the native officers and even havildars
being especially excluded. We mav,_ therefore, speedily
look forward to the promulgation ofthe CPntences by the
Commander-in-Chief. The orders from the Government
to Sir Hugh Gough to send down the Bun;flekhund
legion, a regiment of Europeans, and a regiment of irre
gular cavalry, via Sirsa and Bahawulpore, wei.;t known
at Sukkur, but have, as our readers are already appriSecl,
been countermanded.

(From the Delhi Gazette, Sept. 7.)
Our letters from Shikarpoor and Sukkur are to the
25th and 26th ult., and from the former place we learn
that Captain M'Kenzie has had another brush with the
" gallant robbers," and also, that he and his irregulars
have this time given a go;,-$1 account of them. There had
been reports for some days prev;ously of the Beloochees
being in the neighbourhood, but not-L:lg definite was
known ; one thing was, however, certain, that a large
body of the enemy were on the move in the . of
Mobarickpoor, with the intention, it was supposed, Pf
attacking some small out-post detachments in that
neighbourhood. On M'Kenzie hearing of this, he al-
lowed tkem to advance well into the country, and then
started off with his head-quarters, and intercepted the
enemy, who were engaged with a party of 50 men of the
6th Irregulars, and as many of Tait's horse, making a
running fight of it. Captain 111‘Kenzie advanced at a
smart pace on hearing the firing, and though the main
body of the mounted Beloochees escaped, he fell in with
two wrong parties on foot, and entirely cut them up, the
Irregulars going to work with the determination of pay-
ing off old scores, and making Sir Charles give a better
report of them than he has hitherto done. Upwards of
150 of the enemy were left " biting the ground." The
loss on our side was not very great ; one sowar killed,
about 20 wounded, and some 20 or 30 horses killed and
wounded. It is reported that Dr. Comberbach, the
surgeon of the 6th Irregulars, who charged with the
body, has been wounded, though it is said slightly. We
shall look with anxiety for further particulars, but we
have heard since we received the above that it was the
intention of the enemy's horse to draw out our two small
parties of cavalry, and when they were well in the
jungle, for the infantry, lying in ambush, to attalk
them in the rear ; they were, however, caught in their
own trap. Dr. Comberbach's wound is a sabre cut
across the thigh, but he is doing well. Captain Holmes,
second in command, was a Kira-ke-Ciburree, and it is
thought probable that ho will also come across the
enemy and make a good report of them.
Sickness has decreased. It appears that Lieutenant
Griffiths, of the artillery, whose death we mentioned
some slumbers back, was very suddenly attacked with
fever ; it rushed to his brain, and he sank rapidly.
The sepoy of the 64th, who was condemned for murder,
was executed on the parade-ground in presence of all
the troops.
From Sukkur we learn that the troops were paraded
to hear the proclamation regarding the change of
Governor-Generalship read, and a salute of nineteen
guns was fired ; the troops are represented as making a
good appearance, and the worthy General as looking
well and hearty. There was but one commanding
officer present, the others being on the sick report. The
following are the arrangements regarding the move-
ments of the Queen's regiments, which differ somewhat
from those previously given:—
" The Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light
Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel
Vigors, of that corps, will embark on or about the Ist of
September, in steamers sent for their conveyance to Ko-
tree. On the 25th of August a wing of the 78th High-
landers will commence its march from Kurrachee to Ko-
tree, where it will encamp ifnd wait the arrival of the
Ist division of the 13th (Prince Albert's) Light Infantry,
from Sukkur, which will disembark at Kotree, and taking
over the camp equipage and carriages from the wing of
the 78th Highlanders, will commence its march to Kurra-
chee, the Highlanders proceeding to Sukkur in the
steamers which brought down the 13th. On the 21st
August a wing of her Majesty's 86th Foot, with its com-
missariat carriage and camp equipage, will cross the
Indus to Kotree, and commence its march
On the 23d of August the remaining wing of hremainingMa-
jesty's 86th Foot, with its carriage, &e., will move
across the Indus to Kotree, and commence its march
to
Kurrachee. On the 31st August the remaining wing
of the 78th Highlanders will take the carriage, &c.,
which brought the first wing of the 86th from Kotree,
and commence its march to that place, there to await
the arrival from Sukkur of the 2d division of the 13th
(Prince Albert's) Light Infantry, when a similar ex-
change will be made as detailed above, and the corps will
proceed to their respective destinations. The arrangements
for the movement of the women, sick, and heavy bag-
gage of the several corps will be separate from the above,
i and will be consequent on the receipt of intelligence
from the officer commanding the Indus flotilla, The
