LONDON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14, 1850.

Among the numerous impediments in the way of
sanitary improvement not the least formidable, is that
caused by the multiplici,y of changes required, and
the uncertainty felt as to which of those alterations
should have the precedence. Upon this subject our
impression is that the readiest means of obviating the
difficulty is to acquire some clear and accurate sense
of the principal evils now injuriously affecting the
health of the population. So long as these evils con-
tinue to be jumbled together in the public considera•
Con, so long must there inevitably be confusion in the
projects started for their removal. Out of all the mis-
cellaneous causes of illness and mortality, the more
considerable must. be taken into account separately,
so that the chief objects of reform should be ranged
apart, under distinct and insulated categories. Then,
but not until then, will the pathways of sanitary
improvement be easily recognized in their various
and somewhat eccentric ramifications. It must be
remernbere4, for example, that amongst the promi-
nent requirements in the way of the proposed inno-
vation,
.-Abe Governmeat will have especially and
-severally to regard the want of ventilation; the want
of drainage; the want of purer water for
domestic consumption ; and the want of all
those systems of organized cleanliness such
as are secured by a more effective purification
of the streets, and by the multiplication of such ad-
mirable establishments es the public baths and
washhouses. Each of these necessities for the dimi-
nution of the general mortality must be regarded
separately, and treated separately, though, of course,
with a due reference to their ultimate association in
a complete system. Ventilation, Iror example, in order
to be rendered in any reasonable manner effectual,
presupposes the discontinuance of intramural
interments. Otherwise the atmosphere admitted
more freely .into the dwellings of the corn-
munity would only be enabled to diffuse the
more rapidly the invisible poison with which it is
impregnated, circulating through the homes of the
people the pernicious vapours perpetually. arising.
from the pestilential graveyards of our cities. In-
directly alluding to this essential priority of a change
in the s)s,em of burial to a change in the system of

Ey the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of ferfelture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to kis representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
through this Society.

3 UN,

The LORD CHANCELLOR did riot precisely un-
derstand the question the Right Rev. Prelate wished "to
put to him. If he meant to ask whether persons asso•
ciatin,g together to hoot down one another were not
gull y of a misdemeanour, he (the Lord Chancellor)
would say they were guilty of a misdemeanour; but it
did not follow that everybody who happened to be stand-
ing by at the time could be charged with taking part in
these proceedings.
The Bishop of CHICHESTER said that that was the
answer which he expected he would receive. He be-
lieved that if her Majesty's Government were to issue
instructions to magistrates to put an end to those dis-
order!y proceedings, it was impossible that they cuuld be
continued.

Tho Earl of RODEN said he deprecated a wicked
system of proselytism as much as any one. Ile had
never suggested the appointment of a Commission in
that case, but he believed that the establishment of a
stipendiary magistrate here and there would prevent the
evil in question.
The motion was then agreed to.

MARKET NEWS.-( THIS DAY.)

CORN EXC HAN GE- WEDNESDAY.
The supply of English Wheat on sale in to•day's
market was very limited. For most descriptions, not-
withstanding that the attendance of both town and coun-
try buyers was small, the deratind ruled steady, and
Monday's quotations were well supported. Very con-
tradictory accounts have reached us respecting the po-
tato crop.

Only 3,070 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to
hand this week. Fine dry parcels moved off steadily, at
lull rates of currency. In the :middling and inferior
kinds comparatively little business was transacted.
We were scantily supplied with all kinds of Barley,
in which stc ady sales were concluded at full prices. In
Malt next to nothing was doing.
There wrs rather more inquiry for Oats, the supply of
which was but mcderate, and prices were well supported.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were quoted as
dear as last week.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner PANE.)
THE GENERAL COMMISSION SHIP LOAN AND INSURANCE
COMPANY.
To-day was appointed for the last examination of Mr.
Bureau, the managing director of the General Com-
mission Ship Loan and Insurance Company, who had
been nominated to represent the company.
Mr. Berman had not surrendered, nor had he filed
any accounts as ordered by the Court.
Mr. PEARCE said Mr. Burnan was present, and he
therefore wished him to be called in the usual manner,
so that, if he did not surrender, ulterior steps might be
taken. _

Mr. LUCAS, for Mr. Burnan, said as this was the last
day Mr. Bureau would surrender, but he could not file
a balance-sheet, as he had been compelled to give up
the books under a❑ order of one of the Masters in Chan-
cery under tho Winding-up Act.
Mr. PEARCE said the order of the Master was not
served until after that of this court.
Mr. Loess said an account and balance-sheet would
be made out and filed in the Master's office, and a copy
could be obtained for the purposes of the court.
It was ultimately agreed that Mr. Bureau should sur-
render, and the examination was adjourned sine die.

BOW-STREET.—(T--
HIS DAY.)
THE LATE /19CUSSING AND ROBBERY CASE.—Jams
Cole alias Cotter, who stands charged with hocussing and
robbing Peter Thwaites, a fruiterer in Covent garden
market, of two cheques, ono for 351. and the other for
311., two 100/. notes, and about 204 in gold, was again
placed at the bar before Mr. Henry.
Peter Thwaites deposed that on last Friday afternoon
he called in at the Mercer's Arms, Long-acre. There
he met the prisoner in company with another man and
two females. After a short time witness called for some
wine, of which they all drank. Witness paid for it, and
in less than half an hour after he bad entered the house
ho became quite insensible. He remembered nothing
afterwards. He fully believed the wine of which he par-
took was drugged by the prisoner and his companions.
A potter in the market stated that he went into the
Mercer's Arms on the night in question, and there saw
the prosecutor with the prisoner and a woman. Witness
went to Mr. Thw aites's shop and told them there that
Mr. Thwaites was in bad company and very drunk. A
servant went with witness, and they met the prisoner
running very hard. He was stopped just getting into a
cab. He said nothing when taken into custody.
Mr. Henry again remanded the case till Tuesday next.

TILE CHEAP SYSTEM.—An eminent tea-dealer of
Bath, who for many years has been celebrated for the ex-
cellence of his goods, was some time since astonislisd to
find his customers express their disapprobation of the qua-
lity of his teas; months rolled on with a declining custom
before he discovered that the fine flavour of his beverage
which " cheers but not inebriates," had been destroyed by
the offensive odour which proceeded from some tea papers
which had been printed fur him at Birmingham at an ex-
traordinary low price; the ink with which they were exe-
cuted being made of the commonest oil, the effect on the
tea was of a most nauseous nature.—Bath Paper.

ITALY.

The Risorgimento of the Bth, and the other Turin
papers, give an account of the steps taken by the
Government in the matter of the refusal of the
sacrament to Chevalier Santa Rosa on his death-
bed. The irritation of the inhabitants of Turin at
the conduct of the monks of the order of Servi
(servants of God), who had the direction of the
parish of San Carlo, to which Santa Rosa be-
longed, and who had, even before they received
orders from the Archbishop, refused to send the
viaticum, had risen to such a pitch that the Mu-
nicipal Council held an extraordinary sitting, and
unanimously voted an address to the Government,
praying for the removal of the abovementioned
friars. The Council of Mintsters was assembled
when the address arrived, which, being in ac.
cordance with what had previously been determined
on by the Ministers, received immediate execution.
The Intendant-General, Chevalier Pernati, and
Chevalier Bellono, Syndic of the town, imme-
diately proceeded to the convent to notify the
determination of the Government to the inmates,
and to make an inventory of their moveables, as well
interest
public a seizure of all the papers which might
public justice. The fathers made no resistance, only
begging they might be allowed to draw up a protest
against what they called a spoliation, which was
accordingly granted. But baying in this protest
declared that they were expelled by force, alluding
to the escort of Carabineers which was to accom-
pany them, the Syndic and Intendant-General
signified to them that if they did not suppress
that declaration, the escort would be withdrawn,
and they left to go alone. The fathers, feeling
that the escort was intended for their personal
safety, and not for the purposes of coercion,. pre-

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Northern Free Press of Hamburgh has the
following from Rendsburg of the Bth :—" Since
eight o'clock this morning fighting has been going
on in our centre. The Danes attacked us with large
forces near Sorgbruk. We heard the cannon for
hours, but it gradually became more distant, and
for the last two hours we have heard nothing. It
is said that the Danes have been driven back to-
wards Kropp, and that we have made some pri-
soners; but it is probable that it is only a reconnais-
sance, and that the battle will take place to-morrow."
The following from Hamburgh, of the 9th, appears
in the Brussels journals :—" We have this moment
learned that part of the Danish army yesterday at-
tacked that of Holstein on all the line; the at-
tack was principally made on the left and right
wings, the centre was only feebly assailed.
It is possible that the Danish general desired
to take advantage of the tumult occasioned in
Rendsburg by the explosion of the shell manufactory,
to make an attack. The result has been the aban-
donment by the first corps of light infantry of Hol-
stein of the town of Frederichstadt, situated in
Schleswig, and its retreat on this side of the Eider.
At about live o'clock a slurp cannonade was heard
between the centres of the two armies, both in the
Schleswig territory. If a second battle should take
place, the result will probably be known to-morrow."

FAVOURITE SONG BIRDS.

This book is announced as a " Popular description
of the feathered songsters of Britain, with an account
of their haunts, habits, and characteristic traits, in-
terspersed with choice passages from the poets, &c."
This promises much, but it performs the promises,
especially as regards the quotations from the poets,
which are very numerous. These two numbers are
descriptive of the nightingale and goldfinch, cer-
tainly two of the chief among British songsters.
Each number is ornamented with a coloured illustn-
tion, representing the bird which the part describes.
This little work will he found highly attractive by
all who take an interest in the feathered tribes.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORNEXCHANGE- WEDNESDAY.
The supply of English Wheat on sale in to•day's
market was very limited. For most descriptions, not-
withstanding that the attendance of both town and coun-
try buyers was small, the demand ruled steady, and
Monday's quotations were u ell supported. Very con-
tradictory accounts have reached us respecting the po-
tato crop.
Only 3,070 quarters of foreign Wheat have come to
hand this week. Fine dry parcels moved off steadily, at
full rates of currency.' In the middling and inferior
kinds comparatively little business was transacted.
We were scantily supplied with all kinds of Barley,
in which steady sales were concluded at full prices. In
Malt next to nothing was doing.
There was rather more inquiry for Oats, the supply of
which was but moderate, and prices were well supported.
Beans, Peas, ,Indian Corn, and Flour were quuted as
dear as last week.

FRAN CE.

The Itioniteur du Soir announces (as follows) the
arrest of M. B mnelier, who was a leading orator at
the Bonapartist meetings before the election of the
10th of December :

" The old demand of highway robbers is well
known--' Your purse or your life. It appears that
this kind oi demand has been somewhat varied
in these latter days. M. Hippolyte Bonneiier,
it seems, had taken it into his bead that he would at-

tempt to attain the place of of director of the Odeotithel-
atre by the protection of the President of the Republic;
and, accordingly, he applied on the subject to M. Au-
guste Chevalier, Secretary-General of the President,
who had lately obtainea for him some pecuniary
assistance to extricate him from great distress. The
nomination not arriving, H. M. Bonnelier, it is said,
wrote a letter of threats and violence, afterwards carried
into effect. On Saturday, when M. A. Chevalier was
leaving the EiyEee, M. H. Bonnelier suddenly accosted
him with most abusive language, and apparently was
prepared to prcceed to acts of violence; but M.
A. Chevalier remained cool, and, without allow-
ing himself to be intimidated, had the porte-cochere shut,
and sending for the guard gave him into custody. M.
H. Bonnelier was taken before the Commissary of Po-
lice of the district. That magistrate considered the case
grave enough to order his provisional arrest. Yesterday
he was placed at the disposal of the Procureur of the
Republic."

A QUEER BOOK. Second Edition. By the
Rev. W. Wickenden.
Commendable as a literary eccentricity, genial in
its tone, and, generally speaking, sound in its philo-
sophy, this latest of the productions of Mr. Wicken-
den has already secured to itself a share of popula-
rity. To the majority of our readers it will not pro-
bably have remained for us to introduce the author

as one now for a considerable time known in the
west as " The Bard of the Forest," and in the east as
" Gherei, the Anglo-Circassian." His previous effu-
sions have familiarised many with a style singular for
its mingled quaintness and volubility. His prose
and his poetry, his " odd fancies" and "rustic lays,"
his " Australasia" and his " Circassia," his " Bled-
dyn" and his " Count Glarus of Switzerland," have
each indicated some new phase in his protean and
fantastic character. The " Queer Book" before
us is the crowning indication of his talent
and facetiousness. The very dedication to Miss
Dosy Scraggs, wherein the writer tells, with the most
ludicrous particularity, an anecdote about an obese
partridge, is as droll in extravagance as the famous
testimonials to the virtue and efficacy of the Polu-
phlosboio Oleaginous Detergent Ointment! Within
two hundred pages the volume comprises three di-
visions ; first, " Adventures in the Peninsula ;" se-
condly, " Animals and their Wrongs ;" and thirdly,
" More Remarkable Passages in the Life of Gherie,
the Anglo-Circassian." Mr. Wickenden is evidently
a decided wag—one that can only be designated by
that comprehnsive epithet, " a character." His wild
and infectious love of the laughter-moving follows
him everywhere, in his peregrinations as well as bis
ruminations, in his travels and his literary composi-
tion. Every where he is cracking his jokes ; every •
one or almost every one be is girding at
in succession. The blade of his wit is as
trenchant as the sword of Sir Hudibras. He cuts
and comes again, and certainly after its fashion
we doubt not that the " Queer Book" will secure for
its readers a right to a similar commendation as that
just bestowed upon the wit from which it has
emanated. Those readers will not fail after cutting
its leaves to return to the perusal of the volume more
than once, if only from a sense of curiosity and be-
wilderment.,

Parkins Jones, John Kelly, Fulham
Gale and Nicholls of Pimlico were entered, but did
not come to the post. They made a very tolerable start,
but Blue, although rowing at a great pace, lost consi-
derable way by steering too much to the Surrey side,
and in fact crossing Pink's water although well ahead.
Pink narrowly escaped a capsize by missing his water in
a stroke. A good race ensued between White and Blue,
the former leading slightly, but closely pressed by his
opponent all the way up. White ultimately won by two
lengths.

The inhabitants of Turin are moat indignant at the
bigotry exhibited by Archbishop FRANZONI in the
affair of the late Minister SANTA ROSA. The incar-
ceration of the Archbishop in the fortress of Fenes-
trella may be regarded as an attempt to shield him
from the vengeance of the people, who assembled in
large numbers to accompany him on his progress
thither, and gave vent to their just indignation by
loud cries and imprecations. It was with difficulty
that the authorities preserved him from popular
jtistice.

GERMANY.

HAYNAu has gone to Hanover, and has been most
cordially received by King ERNEST.
The Austrian Government has issued a decree, re-
quiring that all newspaper articles shall be signed by
the writers.

Count LEO Tuurf, the Minister of Public Instruc-
tion in Austria, and the tool of the Jesuits, has pro-
posed that no private school shall be suffered to exist,
the teachers of which are not licensEd by the Govern-
ment, and i❑ which the Government (i. e. the Jesui-
tical) plan of education shall not be adopted. In
consequence no Protestant schools can be tolerated.
This is what the Jesuits understand by " liberty of
instruction."

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Danish Ministers of Finance and Justice, ac-
companied by Russian and French Envoys, who will
be speedily joined by an English Envoy, have arrived
at holding, to negotiate a settlement of differences

has, it is said, taken place.

DUBLIN UNIV.ERSITY MAGAZINE.

Entertaining and instructive as is the present
month's number of this talented and admirably con-
ducted periodical, the most interesting contribution
with which its pages are enriched is decidedly, in our
opinion, a biographical sketch of the hero of the East,
the gallant Gough. The brilliant and successful ex-
ploits of that great and good general, whose valiant
achievements in the field have enrolled his name on
the scroll of British history next in martial renown
to those of Marlborough and Wellington, are vividly
recounted by a masterly band, whose graphic
delineation of his renowned countryman must
win the sympathy and admiration of every
reader. We would earnestly recommend it
to the perusal of all to whom the name of the veteran
victor of the Sutlej is familiar ; and, having ever in-
tignantly reprobated the sneers and slanderous dispa-
ragements with which at one brief period the fame
of our great Indian commander was most unworthily
sought to be tarnished, but which were speedily and
triumphantly silenced, to the shame of the traducers,
by the annihilation of the stubborn enemy on the
glorious field of Goojerat, we cordially unite in the
noble and truthful aspiration with which this admi-
rable sketch is concluded :
" Go, then, grey-headed warrior to thy happy retire-
ment; not more full of years than of virtues; with all
" ' that should accompany old age,
Honour, love, obedience, troops of friends.'
May the evening of thy days be as peaceful as the morn-
ing was busy and honourable, and the noontide glorious!
May others catch, from thine example, how Christian
excellence is compatible with military renown ! how
the man who has learned to govern himself is ever the
best fitted for governing others! and how the Sovereign
is ever best served by him who is, in the truest sense of
the word, the servant of his God! Mayest thou long be
spared to do family by whom thou art adored, to teach
thy children and tby children's children bow to live and
how to die, as best becomes the British soldier!"
The portrait of Lord Gough, which illustrates the
memoir, conveys by far the most perfect impression
of his lineaments of any which we have seen. There
is a delightfully readable notice of De Vere's
" Greece," Tennyson's "In Memoriam," Taylor's
" Virgin Widow," and a few other recent produc-
tions in an article entitled "Latter-day Poets."
We would willingly, did space permit, extract an ad-
venture which befel De Vere at Constantinople, and
which, as the reviewer truly remarks, "is one of
the best told stories we have ever read." ;" The
Gifts of Science to Art" and " Maurice Tiernay,"
are continued, " The Mysterious Compact" con-
cluded, and the remaining pages filled with a very
just critique on Mr. Sirr's popular volumes "Ceylon
and the Cingalese ;" a thrilling tragedy, "Andrew
Carron's Money ;" a scholar -like and tasteful series
of remarks on the age and writings of lEschylus, and
a few specimens of poetry of that standard merit
which distinguishes the bards of the Empress of Irish
Literature.

DEFERRED ANNUITIES.

By the operation OfthessWrie principles, the SoCiety is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
,,eous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tribution of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving. may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself In advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
en ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
the following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages which the judicious application of a small saving car: secure
through this Society.
