REMOVAL OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.

The Committee appointed by the House of
Commons to examine and inquire into the peti-
tion praying for the removal of Smithfield-
market, has nearly brought its labours to a close,
On Friday last it resolved that the petitioners
had proved their allegations respecting the unfit-
ness of Smithfield,as it now is, for such markets
as are held there, and the great nuisances which
arise from driving cattle to and from it. Tito
conduct of the Corporation of London, with
respect to this market, deserves some notice.
For years the public have been crying o'ut
against the intolerable nuisances of Smithfield,
and the Corporation have allowed them to pass,
without taking any steps for their removal.
Now, however, when the application of an efFce-
,tual remedy is likely to pass into other hands,
they admit the evil, and ctnuc forward with plans:
for the enlargement of the market. One of
those plans was submitted to the Committee on
Thursday last, by Mr. Galloway. it proposed
an addition to the present site of about four
acres and a quarter on the western side, and
that in this space a public slaughter house
should be erected, capable of affording accom-
modation for the slaughter of nearly all the
beasts brought to market, by which, as Mr. Gal-
loway observed, the chief nuisance of Smith-
field—that of driving the cattle from it after
sale—would be abated. So it would, no doubt,
if the butchers sent their cattle there to be
slaughtered ; but part of Mr. Galloway's plan is,
that there should be no compulsion in that re-
spect. Now the butchers do not affect to con-
ceal, that without compulsion they will never
send their cattle to any slaughter-house but their
own. Mr. Galloway's plan, therefore, would
leave the principal nuisance of Smithfield un-
touched, after putting the city to the expense of
erecting au extensive building, which would
thus be rendered useless. The expense of
Mr. Galloway's plan including purchase of
ground, good will of houses, erection of
buildings, &c., would be nearly 200,000/.,
and it was hinted that this sum might
be raised by allowing the Corporation to
draw upon the old stock purse of the city—the
Orphan Fund ! The master butchers also pre,
sewed a plan, which, omitting buildings of any
kind, would add about an aere and a quarter to
the extent of the present site. This the butchers
think would afford a sufficient accommodation to
the public. - The cost of this enlargement was
estimated at, we understand, about 70,000/. In
our opinion, neither of those plans would abate
those nuisances of which the inhabitants of the
metropolis have most reason to complain. To
those who resort to the market on business, or who

reside in its immediate vicinity, it would, no
doubt, be a convenience that it should be en-

EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL EFFECT;
FROM THE STING OF A BEE.-Last week a man of the
name of TAYLOR, residing at Glenlednoek, Perthshire, was
stung by a bee in the face. For some time no remarkable
symptom was apparent, except that the inflammation
which followed was attended with an unusual sensation of
itching. This, however, soon brought on an uninter-
rupted fit of sneezing, which proved till painful and dis-
tressing to the poor man, that his family became alarmed,
and sent off one of his sons to Cowrie for the attendance
of a medical gentleman. In the mean time the fit in-
creased with such obstinacy, that the poor sufferer soon
sunk under it, and died in the utmost agony, before any
relief could be afforded him. Ile has left a wife and fa-
laily...—Ediribursh Evening Courant.
