advantage of an unbroken line of embankment free from
recesses for the accumulation of mud, and from the un-
sightly and disgusting mouths of sewers and drains.
"For the south side of the river all the minor:drainage
should be turned into the Great Duffield, or any other
main sewer which runs from Vauxhall to Bermondsey,
which should discharge itself into a receptacle at some
convenient spot opposite the London Dock, near the
Great Surrey Canal, or even lower if expedient ; the
bank should then be rendered equally useful by the for-
mation of quays even more capable of being ornamentally
diversified according to the situation of the ground. In
this way the
_Surrey shore, which, from the numerous
docks and other obstacles,'has always been considered the
.most difficult, will be easy of execution, every objection
being removed, and all the advantages of a uniform quay
afforded at greatly diminished expense. As regards the
receptacles it is not advisable to make them very large and
deep, for the manure is found to be se much more effi
cient when liquid, that it is desirable to preserve it in
that state, and it could, therefore, be removed as it enters,
at small expense, by the application of a simple hydrau-
lic principle. In time of flood sluices should let the sewage
pass freely into the river, and sweep the drain clean as it
does at present, but without the disadvantage of being
backed by the tide, which renders the existing sewers for
twelve hours out of the twenty-four mere cesspools, the
mouths being closed by sluice gates, but for which, every
-house in Westminster, even as far as Park and James-
street, would be inundated by the filthiest of floods ; this
would not affect the general system, as the small portion
of sewage lost would be so diluted with flood water as to
be of comparatively little consequence, especially for
such a short period of the year, and so very seldom ;
neither would the river be injured by the superabundant
drainage, as the violence of the floods would scour and .
force it away to the sea almost at the first tide."

We cannot afford further space at present to Mr.
.Martin's plan ; but must express our hope that in any
arrangements which may be finally adopted in con-
formity with them, his early appearance in the field
as a suggester of these metropolitan improvements—
essential as they must be to the healthfulness and
grandeur of our great capital—may not be forgotten.

OPENING OF THE

ICPRITISH and FOREIGN INSTITUTE.
His Royal Highness the PRINCE ALBERT, Patron
of the Institute, having graciously communicated his inten-
tion to honour the Opening Soirée with his presence, and the
Noble President, the Right Hon. the EARL of DEVON,
having most kindly acceded to the wishes of the Committee
by consenting to preside on that occasion, the Evening of
FRIDAY, the 2tl of February, has been fixed on fur this
purpose, heSoiree will he held at the Rooms of the Institute, No.
13, George-street, Hanover-square, which will be opened for
the reception of company at half-past eight o'clock.
The admissions will be confined exclusively to Members, and
such Ladies only as may be included in their regular Tickets
of Membership, or who may receive the special invitation of the
President and Council for that evening ; and each Member and
Visitor will be required to leave their Cards of Address with the

THE STATE TRIALS.

It is supposed that the Attorney• General will bring the
case for the Crown to a close about Thursday or Friday next.
It is said that Mr. Henn will not speak for the traversers, in
consequence of being briefed with his senior, Mr. Richard
Moore, the late Solicitor-General. This will be a great loss
to the traversers, and a great disappointment to the public,
who expected a splendid display of argument and eloquence
from this eminent advocate. He is, however, unremitting in
his attention, and takes a very active part in all questions of
law which arise in the course of the proceedings.
The order of the speakers will, we understand, be as follows—
Mr. Sheil, M.P., will open for Mr. John O'Connell.
Next Mr. Moore, for the Rev. Mr. Tierney.
Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., for Mr. Duffy.
Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., for Dr. Gray.
Mr. M'Donogh, Q.C., for Mr. Barrett.
Mr. Hatchell, Q.C., for Mr. Ray.
Mr. O'Connell will dote this formidable array of forensic
power, and, as you may infer, on his own behalf, but of course
will not confine himself to a mere personal defence. The Hon.
and Learned Gentleman will go into the entire case of the tra-
versers and the Association, and it is generally supposed will
occupy two sitting days of the Court in the delivery of his
address. He sits under the Clerk of the Crown each day, and
devotes himself exclusively to the perusal of documents relating
to his defence. Mr. Henn co-operates with the Member for
Cork in taking copious notes of the evidence.
It is right to mention that the conduct pursued by the
Morning Herald, in handing over to the Government the
notes of its Irish correspondent, has excited one general feel-
ing of disgust and indignation, not only among persons
connected with the press, but also among the bar and the
public. Such a proceeding is unexampled and unprecedented
in the history of the newspaper press, and is not only calculated
to lessen that confidence in the honour and integrity of public
journalists, which is so essential to the protection of the public
interests, but also to bring journalism itself into odium and con-
tempt.—Dublin Letter in the Advertiser.

" The various positions of lover, husband, and parent, the
inherent privileges of mankind, are frequently marred and pre-
vented through the follies and frailties of early indiscretions.
To such, among others, this essay addresses itself; and by its
perusal many questions may he satisfactorily adjusted that ad-
wit of no appeal even to the most confidential friend."—Stafford

DAMAGING A PICTURE IN
NATIONAL GALLERY.
William Adams, a lame young man using crutches. was
brought to Bow-street, yesterday, charged with wilfully
damaging a valuable picture, by striking at it with one of' his
crutches.
Mr. Edward Grant, breeches maker, 0, Piccadilly',
said he was in the first great room of the National
Gallery abaut three o'clock that day, when he saw the pri-
soner deliberately lift up his crutch and strike it through the
canvas of one of the paintings. The prisoner took aim, and
struck just as if he was knocking down a bullock. There were
three er four persons in the room at the time.
Francis Morris said he was on duty at the Gallery, when he
was called to take the prisoner into custody for damaging a
picture. He found the prisoner before the picture in ques-
tion, which was broken to pieces from the force of the prison-
er's blow.
Mr. G. Thwaites, secretary to the trustees, and assistant.
keeper, said he was sent for in consequence of what the pri-
,oner had done. He found that great damage had been done.
to a valuable painting, by P. F. Aloia, of Jupiter and Leda.
The painting was one of the best specimens of an excellent
painter, and was worth from 1201. to 150/. It had been part
of Lord Farnborough's collection, and had formerly been in
the Orleans collection. The damage was so extensive that,
although the painting might be mended, it would in future be
comparatively valueless as a work of art.
Air. Maltby—Did the prisoner say. anything? Mr. Grant
—He did not say a word. He stood before the picture for
some time, without speaking. Theis he lifted his crutch and
struck at it.
Mr. Maltby—What have you to say, relisoner, to the charge
of damaging this picture ? Defendant—l have nothing to say.
Mr. Maltby asked Mr. Thwaites if he could account in any
way for she prisoner's conduct? Mr. Thwaites-4 cannot give
the slightest reason for his action. He was, lam told, in the
gallery about three quarters of an hour before this occurred.
Our usual pr.ctice is to take away sticks and umbrel;as ; but
crutches or sticks used in cases of lameness we allow to be taken
into the gallery.
111 r. Maltby asked the prisoner to state what he ‘vas?—
The prisoner said he was a watch finisher, living at No.. 13,
Paradise-,treet, Westminster. He repeated he had no m0,,10
for what he did.
Air. Thwaites said he had no reason to suspect that the pri-
soner's intellects were unsound. At the station•house the pri-
soner expressed his sorrow for destroying a picture of such
great value.
Mr. Maltby, after some consideration, finding that his juris-
diction only extended to cases where the value was under 51.,
decided upon remanding the prisoner until the following day, in
order to ascertain what law reached the case.

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

We must decline publishing any letters against Lieut.
Munro. The seconds were the real culprits. Munro
has lost his commission ; he is compelled to flee his
country ; and had he not fought the duel, agreeably
to the barbarous practice sanctioned in the army, he
would have been equally expelled from his regiment.
