SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY

we have endeavoured to demonstrate the scheme to be
objectionable upon other grounds, such, for example,
as its affording upon false principles a very unfortu-
nate and pernicious precedent. Yet, in spite of all
these reasons for hesitation, so great is our sense of
the evils arising from the baleful system of intra-
mural interment, that we gladly swallow all our
regrets and disappointments to welcome the measure
itself, and the carrying of it into operation. What-
ever errors are committed in the recent plans of the
Government, as far as this sanitary innovation is
concerned, they are as nothing compared to the
horrors and abominations arising out of the old and
atrocious method of huddling our dead bodies indiscri-
minately into our pestilential city graveyards. Instead
of this latter practice, anything different, no matter
how repulsive to our ideas of :propriety, would be
preferable. Our first solicitude is, of course, to put
an end at once and for ever to those fiendish and
brutal violations:of the.sanctity ofl the tomb which
GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, the originator of the
whole sanitary movement, dragged into the light of
day and revealed to the scrutiny of his fellow-
country men. Our first anxiety is to wit-
ness the realization of all the dreams of this
good and brave-hearted citizen, one of the truest,
the noblest and the most self-sacrificing of our
national benefactors. While referring thus inciden-
tally to the great personal achievements of Mr.
WALKER—to whose single hand and unaided energy
may be traced all the sanitary reforms already adven-
tured upon by the Legislature—we cannot refrain
from adverting to a brief but genial tribute lately
paid to him by a very able member of the medical
profession. On the occasion of delivering an official
address to the students at the London Hospital, Mr.
NATHANIEL WARD,* the assistant surgeon of that
establishment, followed up in these words his refer-
ence to the reforms already effected in the promotion
of sanitary improvement :
" Weil may we be proud of reckoning among our
number the promoters of such grand improvements.
Well may we hold them up to you as brilliant patterns
of extended Christian charity; of the unbiassed devotion
of philosophy to the attainment of a definite object,
fraught with peace, with health, with plenty, to many
whose lives, at the pres"nt moment, are debased and
embittered, and whose death is prematurely accelerated.
In pointing them out to you, we refer your attention to
no one among them with greater pleasure, with purer
satisfaction, than to George Alfred Walker, whose
name and whose deeds will ere long occupy more than
one bright page in the annals of fame."
What may be the precise views entertained by this
distinguished citizen as to the advisability of select-
ing Erith as the locality to be employed for the pur-
poses of extramural sepulture, we cannot of course
say ; but of this, at any rate, we rest assured—
namely, that he, in common with ourselves and the
rest of the community, is prepared to rejoice at every
additional step in advance, at every step which car-
ries us nearer to the realization of his generous vi-
sions of philanthropy.
" Introductory Address, delivered at the London
Hospital," &c. By Nathaniel Ward, F.R.C.6.E. Bvo.,
pp. 32. London: Cox, 1850.

The Chairman of the National Reform Association
acted judiciously in impressing upon the minds of
the people the great truth, that if they desire " an
extension of their political rights, they must win it
through their own exertions." There is no royal
road to improvement. Before the dreams of
the Financial Reformers can be realized a long
road, crow led with difficulties, will have to be
traversed, and every step in advance can only be
achieved by strenuous and unceasing efforts. There
can be no rest, no cessation of labour during the
ascent. The goal must be reached before there can
be time for slumber or enjoyment. If they persetere
in time, they will arrive at the loftiest pinnacle, but
they cannot remain stationary ; they must either
advance or retrograde. They have a crafty and insi-
dious foe to encounter, who will make the most of the
advantages of their position, and increase the
difficulties of every movement. It is only by
cordial union, by steady and combined exertions,
by zealous co-operation, that the numerous obstacles
and impediments can be surmounted. Any division or
difference in the patriotic band will, if not absolutely
proving fatal to their hopes, at least materially impede
their progress; and to sow these dissensions will be
the chief object of the reactionaries, as well as of
those who argue for the finality of the Act of 1832.
Let every true reformer, however, resist the attempt,
and be prepared to sacrifice a portion of his individual
opinions in order to produce that unanimity which
is so essential to success.
Many persons desire not only a large extension of
the suffrage, but insist, as a sine qua non, that every
man of full age, unstained by crime, and free from
any legal disability, should have a vote in the
selection of a Member of the House of Commons,
"and we freely and readily admit that, so long as a
single item of indirect taxation is continued, such is
his unquestionable right and privilege. That there
shall be " no taxation without representation."—that
every man who in any degree contributes to the
liquidation of the national liabilities, or the main-
tainance of the national establishments, should have
a voice, either by himself or his representative, in the
Legislative Assembly, is the constitutional theory of
the British nation—a theory which has been recog-
nized and acknowledged by the most emi•
vent statesmen and judges of the land. But,
unfortunately, the attempt to obtain that
full measure of justice, and the rejection of all
intermediate ameliorations, would be destructive to the
popular cause. Numbers of really honest men are
not prepared for such rapid progress; they have
been taken by the specious fallacies of the obstruc-
tives, that the people are not yet prepared for uni-
versal suffrage, that in such a case liberty would
degenerate into licentiousness, and the remedy be
worse than the disease. To meet these cautious
doubts, the association has decided for the present to
advocate the extension of the franchise to every adult
male occupier of a bona fide dwelling, whether it
be the whole or a part of a house. Would this,
then, be regarded as a boon of so little
magnitude that it should be rejected with disdain by
any class of reformers ? In place of the electors being
limited to about one million of persons, it would im-
mediately quadruple the number, and every man de-
serving of the franchise, and duly qualified to exercise
that important trust, would see his way to its speedy
attainment. Let the Chartists, before they permit
themselves to be turned into tools of the Tories, seri-
ously consider the incalculable advantages that would
result from this extension, and let them regard as
their worst enemies and the worst enemies of the
community,
who
would

treme views, and to impede the proceedings of the
real reformers, who seek after that which is practi-
cable, and may be speedily attained if there only be
" a long pull, a strong pull," (but above all) 44 a pull
all together."
But it is not only in the extension of the franchise
that the National Reform Association desires to ex-
tend the privileges of the people. It would afford
ample security against the exercise of any corrupt
influence in the exercise of the suffrage
thus obtained. It would at the same time
guard against bribery or intimidation, and
for this purpose it would give THE BALLOT,
which would prevent venality on the part of the
elector, as well as coercion on the part of his landlord, I
employer, or customer. It would protect ".
duty he was called on to perform from every species
of outrage,, and ensure the Inc ' lependence of his vote,
the certainty that it
his own priv:,',e
person, for whom he voted would be known only
to himself. Are not the Chartists '

The third proposition of the associat• ion.---triennial
Parliaments—is a fair and reasonable compromise
between the existing state of affairs and the annual
elections demanded by the Chartists. Many grave
objections cau be pointed out to each of the extremes
which are not applicable to the "golden mein." A
man may calculate on a seven years' tenure of his seat,
as enabling him to despise the remonstrances of his con •
stituents. It will afford ample opeortunities for payi I • nga
dishonest game, and intriguing' with the Ministers for
the time being, if he be so minded.

with respect, and their wishes and suggestions re-
ceived and acted on with zealous attention. Rattings
and tergiversations are ever rare during the last
years of an aged Parliament. But it may be said
that all those arguments are more in favour
of annual than of triennial Parliaments. Granted.
But there are serious inconveniences to which
1i the former are exposed from which the latter are per-
fectly free. There would be a constant and unceas-
ing excitement that would be by no means benefic La
to the general interest of the empire. There won a :
be no rest or repose, and the country would be ex
posed to a very heavy expenditure at too frequen n-
tervals. Besides, Hon. Gentlemen would not in a
single year have sufficient opportunities of acquiring
experience and showing the stuff they were made of.
Many valuable representatives might be rejected, and
their services lost to the country, because they had
not been able to conquer the diffidence
and mauvaise honte that must to a cer-
tain degree attend maiden efforts. For these
among other reasons, we confess that, as at present
advised, we prefer triennial even to annual Parlia-
ments; and they have this additional recommenda-
tion, that if it should be thought advisable, another
stage might be taken in advance, whereas if annual
Parliaments were once established it would be impos-
sible to prolong the term, however desirable it might
be to do so.
The equalization of the electoral districts is so ma-
nifestly just and equitable that it scarcely requires a
word in its favour. It is, indeed, too absurd to say
that Thetford, with its 223 electors, should neutralise
the West Riding, with its 36,750 voters, or that
Richmond (Yorkshire), or Harwich, with their 250
, or 260 voters, should be equivalent in the Parliamen-
tary scale to the Tower Hamlets. Let all classes
then unite cordially and in sincerity. Let them sink
minor differences in order to attain the common ob-
ject, and we promise a more speedy success than most
sanguine reformers have ventured to anticipate.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The 3loniteur published official returns, showing
the receipts of the Customs and Excise department
for the nine months of the present year, from which
it appears that the receipts of the present year exceed
those of the corresponding period of 1849 by 28,1831.,
and of 1848 by 41,227 f.
The Constitutionnel, as in duty bound, publishes a
long article glorifying the Government for these
results.
The Siècle in commenting on the departure of M.
DuriN from Paris, calls upon the Committee to con-
voke the Assembly at once. It appears that the sar-
castic DUPIN " trotted out" General D'llAurpour. on
Friday to the great amusement of the Committee of
Permanence. "Would you not have punished cries
of 'Down with the President,' " said he to the heavy
Minister of War. "That I would," replied General
D'llAuTrcam. "Know then," sarcastically observed
M. DuriN, "that ' Vive l'Emperereue means a bas
le President. "
It is said that Generals EXCELMAN9, OUDINOT
and CITANGARMEIt, are to be raised to the dignity o.
M:

.arshals of France.
There are rumours current of an npproacbin g change
An the Ministry. It is said that General D'llArrrroui.
will resign, and be succeeded by General LAIIITTE as
Minister of War, who in his turn will be succeeded
in the Foreign Department by M. DE PERSIGNY.

to cashier and punish all who disobey his orders, and
to fill up the vacancies occasioned by such regula-

that the resignations have not been accepted, and
that General HAYNAU has not made use of his powers,
having sent all the resignations to the Government at
Withelmsbad. At Julda and Bocksnheim several

other substance, in a given quantity of sumach ; or, if
ho bo of opinion that for all purposes for which the
sumach is intended, it is sufficient to have discovered the
quantity of tanning acid or any other matter, in order
to deduce therefrom, independently of the mixture, the
excellence of the sumach, in such caie the inventor
shall be rewarded, provided he clearly prove the said
propositions, and afterwards prepare the easily and

proved by the institution, and found correct.
"If various plans be sent in which answer the pur-

to be the most easily practicable in every respect shall
be rewarded.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 4,000 bales, chiefly American, and nearly all
to the trade. The market closed quietly at previous
rates.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at
previous quotations.
The Corn Market is very steady, and with a small
supply. Prices had rather an upward tendency.
It appears that there has been no very satisfactory
result at the quarterly meetings of ironmasters held last
week, and prices were rather feebler, being irregular
also, for it is asserted that there were sellers who had,
for some time, been frittering away their capital, or
gradually involving themselves, by doing business under
the average of the trade generally. The competition
in producing the better descriptions of iron is repre-
sented as being greater than it was, for formerly only
the leading establishments turned it out. Speculation is
exceedingly dormant in the:article, and, under circum-
stances, we cannot see that it can be expected to be
otherwise, as there is no opening for increased con-
sumption at present. The simple fact has long been
apparent that the make is too large. It might not have
been deemed t xcessive during the fever of railway con-
struction, but as it is notorious that now furnaces were
brought into play expressly for that occasion, it is as
evident that when the outlet is closed the supply
should be curtailed, and no one will be surprised to learn
that different works are changing bands.
Accounts to the beginning of September from Hon-
duras, give a very eacouraging representation of the
state of trade, and one party writes as follows :
"In this settlement we are very busy manufacturing
the vast quantity of mahogany got out by the late floods.
The Public Meeting has held a special session since my
last. Much ill feeling exists between that body and the
Executive. The latter has received notice of recall,
which is highly satisfactory to the former, who seems
determined to have the Chief Justice also removed, and
will leave nothing done to effect his recall. This quar-
rel is local, and of no interest to your readers. In the
states of Honduras and Guatemala, the. Indians, having
met with many reverses, and having lost many of their
most skilful and successful leaders, have given up the
contest and retired to the 'mountains, where they
are comparativly :safe from the whites, who, flushed
with success and victory, are pursuing and
occasionally taking prisoners and slaying some
stragglers. The roads are now free. Cochineal and
Indigo are daily arriving from Guatemala. An un-
usually large amount cif goods has been purchased fur
that market during the list month. There are a large
number of merchants from the interior now here making
purchases. Merchandise is scarce and high. Some
house might he established here for the sale of American
domestics, which could not fail to be very profitable.
From ten to twenty thousand bales of coarse goods
could (with proper care) bo disposed of for cash, or
cochineal and indigo, every year. I hope some of your
readers will look to this.
"From the Leland of Ruatan we have re thing in-
teresting. The people and magistrates having got tired
of quarrelling have set to work planting, which will be
far more profitable to them and this settlement. Our
provision market is in a very good state. All articles
from the United States are paying very well. Mahogany
and logwood aro eking better than formerly. Turtle-
shell, indigo, cochineal, sarsaparella, are eagerly sought
after; and on the whole we are in a prosperous and pay-
ing condition."

The English Funds have been very firm again, and the
transactions are on a moderate scs.le. The settlement
of the Account being now over the payments were made
this morning, and one party who had been giving
" options" has been declared unable to meet his en-
gagements. Having succombed on a former occasion,
however, his liabilities are but small. Consols have been

Three per Cents. 9GB to 97. Bank Stock is worth 209
to 210, and India Stock 20. Exchequer-bills have been
655. to 685., and India Bonds 87 prem.
The Foreign Investments have been steady, but the
arrangements for " carrying over" have been in pro-
gress. Mexican have been at 311, and Peruvian at 80-i
to -I- for the Four- an '
d-a-Half per Cente and at a rise to
36} and 37 for the Deferred. Grenada Bonds have been
quoted 184; Buenos Ayres, 584•' and Brazilian
91. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 57k.
The settlement of the account iu the Railway Share
Market has engaged almost exclusive attention, and is de-
cidedly in favour of the,speculators for a rise. The extent
to which speculative purchases have been made is such,
that parties are running about offering very high rates
of " continuation," as much, indeed, where the accom-
modation is but for a day or two, as would amount to
30 or 40 per cent. per annum. These, however, are,
of course, only exceptional cases, and merely indicate
temporary pressure. North-Western Shares, being
scarce, have risen to 1161 I, Midland have touched
45, Great-Western 72, South-Eastern 21k, and York
and North-Midland 26k. great Northern have been

NARKILT NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCH AN GE.-11'EDNESDAY
The quantity of English Wheat cn sale in to-day's
market (from a good clearance of the supply b-ing
effected on Monday) was small. On the whole, the de-
mand for that grain ruled steady, and last week's quota-
tions rare well supported. The imports of toreign
Wheat have amounted to 9,410 quarters.. Selected
parcels were in fair request, at fully late rates. Ia the
middling and inferior kinds next to nothing was doing.
Fine Malting Barley was soarer', and quite as dear. In-
ferior qualities commanded very little attention. Malt—.
the supply of which was on the increase—ruled heavy,
but we have no decline to notice in prices. There was
less doing in Oats, at about stationary prices. Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn were much neglected. Flour was
held at fell rates of currency.

(Before Mr. Secondary PoaTEn )
KENNY V. ARCHDELL—SLANDER.
This was an inquiry to assess damages in an action
for slander, the defendant having suffaeci judgment to go
by default. The plaintiff is one of the clerks on the
Black wall Railway, and defendant is a young man of
good family residing at Shadwell.
Mr. Parry appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Clark-
son for the detendant; and it was agreed that a verdict
should be taken by consent for 51.
Mr. PARRY said it would be unncerssa.ty for him to
go into the particulars of the care, as the defendant had
expressed his regret for using unwarrantable expressions
towards the plaintiff, who was only performing his duty;
and there was no imputation on his integrity, and he was
still in the company's employ.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant, expressed his regret
that tEe language had been used in a moment of irrita-
tion arising out of a dispute relating to some tickets.
It was clearly a mistake, and defendant wished to
make the best amends he could by acknowledging
his error.
The jury gave a verdict for 5/.

111ARLBRO'—STREET.—(THISDAY.)
MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY AN ITALIAN.-- GiOVanni
Zannelli, an Italian street musician, was brought before
Mr. Hardwick, charged with violently assaulting David
Rees.
The prosecutor was not able to attend, being at pre-
sent in Middlesex Hospital in a meat dangerous state
from the injuries he had received. A certlticate signed
by the house surgeon to the above effect was produced,
when a young man named Shernon, who had witnessed
the assault, stated that yesterday afternoon he was in
Charles-street listening to the prisoner and his com-
panions playing, when he saw the man who is at present
in the hospital,igo up and speak to one of the men
who was playing the harp, and who in reply laughed, as
in a good-humoured reanncr. The prisoner then, with-
out the least cause or provocation, left his com-
panions and seizing hold of David Rees, threw him with
great violence into the road, the back part of his head
corning in contact with the kerb stone. Witness ran
forward and picked him up in an insensible state, and on
carrying him to a surgeon's it was found that the back
part of his skull was fractured. A constable was then
called and the prisoner was given into custody. Rees
was subsequently taken to the hospital.
The prisoner denied the charge and said the injured
wan used insulting language, and eventually struck him;
in return he (prisoner) merely gave him a push when he

fell down.
Mr. HARDWICK remanded the prisoner until Wednes-
day next.
ROBBERY AT HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. - John
Williams, a young man with about 20 aliases, was
charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of
Mr. John Hinde Hale, brewer, No. 11, Oxford-street.
The prosecutor deposed that on the previous night
he was at the promenade concert at her Mjesty's Thea-
tre, and on making his way through the crowd he felt a
tug at his watch. Ho looked round and saw the pri-
soner close by his side, and on witness feeling in his
pocket ho missed his watch, which had been cut
away from the guard. Witness immediately collared
the prisoner, and taxed him with robbing him
of his watch. The prisoner denied it, and having extri-
cated himself from witness's grasp, endeavoured to
make his escape from the house. Witness, however,
kept him in sight until he got to the door, when he gave
him in charge to a constable.
Police-sergeant Mount said he received charge of the
prisoner, and conveyed him to the station, where he was
searched, but the watch was not found. The prisoner
was a member of the swell mob, and was well known to
the police.
The prisoner, who protested his innocence, was re-
manded till Saturday next.
