Sir'llobert Peel, we are glad to learn, has given
ten guineas towards the subscription now in progress
for a testimonial to Mr. Rowland Bill. This mark
of the Premier's due appreciation of Mr: Hill's merits
is highly cred..table to the Right Hon. Baronet, and
We hope the other Ministers will follow his example.
It appears from an announcement made by Mr.
Cobden last evening, at the Great League Meeting,
that it is the intention of the Council of the League
to have a Bazaar- in Covent-garden Theatre before the
close of the season, in aid of the League fUnd. At
this _Bazaar it is intended to collect, as it were, into a
focus, every species of manufacture in the kingdom.
Specimens of everything made in metal, from a steam-
engine to a needle, will be found there. Specimens
of every kind of silk, worsted, or cotton manufacture,
of all that the ingenuity of the manufacturers of
England can produce, will be brought together at
that Bazaar. It will be, in fact, a complete exposition des
drts et des maim, and will constitute one of the most
amusing and instructive exhibitions in the metropolis.
That this exhibition will give a great impetus to the
progress of free trade principles no one can, for an
instant, doubt. The industrious classes are already
free traders. The idlers—at least such of them as
possess minds—would be so if they would only give
themselves the trouble to think, or if their attention
could be in any way directed to the subject. This
exhibition will se direct their attention. It will be-
come a fashionable'lounge everybody will go 'to it,
and, to quote the words of ' Mr. Cobden, " after
viewing this exhibition we will put to Them this
question, and this question only--' Do you think that
the hands that made these ingenious articles ought to
lie hanging idly by the sides of men who are .pining
for the want of bread ?' " They will thus be brought
to-think seriously on the subject—to investigate it in
all its bearings:. and the result must necessarily be
that they will become free traders, not in the abstract
only, but thoroughly practical anti-monopolists.
MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number
of deaths dui ing the week,.ending Saturday April 13,
is below the average. The total number was 870,
the average being 883. In almost every case there
is a decrease. Small-pox, epidemic diseases, and
typhus show 'a slight increase, but so small that it
hardly requires notice. The number of deaths from
small-pox is 21, average 12 ; and of the 21, 14 had
not been' vaccinated. The deaths from diseases of
the lungs are 257, average 269 ; pneumonia 55, ave-
rage 65 ; bronchitis 17, average 11,; consumption
136, average 155 ; old age 64, the same as the ave-
rage ; violent deaths 13, average 24. In this list the
number oC suicides is 3, murder 1, drowning 2,
accidental, and from scalds 2. The thermometer
during the week has stood very high for the season,
the average being 61.1 for the highest. The highest
temperature was on Tuesday and Wednesday, when
the thermometer stood at 66.7, and the lowest on
Monday 34 degrees. The wind during the week
was westerly, and the weather altogether uncommonly
fine for the month of April.
WATERLOO BRIDGE.—The Hungerford Chain
Bridge will he completed in a few months, and the
fare will be only the half of that paid for passing Wa-
terlao Bridge. What preparations are the proprie-
' tors of the first bridge in the world making for the
change ? Have they taken any steps to put a stop
to the nuisances which prevail there more than in any
part of London ?. Canova said that taking Somerset
House and Waterloo bridge together, it would be
impossible to find in any part of the world two monu-
ments within the same space so honourable to the
nation, yet one of them is now a disgrace to the coun-
try, because the proprietors will not be at the expense
of a watchman to take offenders into custody. At
nine o'clock in the morning, we know no spot in the
whole metropolis so absolutely offensive as the 'West
side of Waterloo bridge. Will the proprietors won-
der, if not a female passes the gate when 'the other
bridge is opened ?
