SMOKE AND SOOT of FURNACES :
THEIR INFLUENCE ON PUBLIC HEALTH.
(From the Report on the Sanitary Condition of the
Labouring Population of Great Britain.)
The most important, perhaps, because the
most cheap and accessible authority for reclaim-
ing the execution of the law for the protection
of the subject against nuisances, fbr punishing
particular violations of it, was vested in the
Courts Leet. The statute of the view of Frank-
pledge, 13 Edw. 11., directs inquiry to be made
of waters turned, or stopped, or brought from
their right course, and obstructions in ditches
were presentable at the Leet; but the stopping
up a watering-place for cattle was held not to be
presentable as a common nuisanc.—(4o Lit. 56 a.)
The juries, commonly called "annoyance juries,"
itnpanelled to serve on Courts Leet in towns, are
accustomed to perambulate • their districts to
judge of nuisances upon the View. But the state
of this machinery will be seen in the state of the
evils which come within its jurisdiction.
With all this legal strength, however, there is
scarcely one town in England which we have
found in a low sanitary condition, nor scarcely
one village marked as the abode of fever, that
does not present an example of standing viola-
tions of the law, and of the infliction of public
and common as well as of private injuries, the
tenements overcrowded; streets replete with in-
jurious nuisances, the streams of pure water pol-
luted, and the air rendered noisome.
The chimneys of the furnaces which darken
the atmospheres, and pour out volumes of smoke
and soot upon the inhabitants of populous towns,
afford niost frequent examples of the inefficiency
of the local administration, and the contempt of
the law for the protection of the public against
nuisances which are snecially provided for.
Most modern private Acts contain penalties on
gas companies permitting , their washings to con-
taminate streams, or using for steam-engines fur-
naces which do not consume their own smoke.
The general statute, 1 and 2 Geo. IV., c. 41, em-
powers the Court to award costs to the prosecu-
tor of those who use such furnaces. Where the
grievance may be remedied by altering the
construction of the furnace employed in the
working of engines by steam, the Court may make
an order for preventing the nuisance in future.
The specific effects of an excess of smoke on
the general health of a town population has not
been distinguished, but from the comparatively
high average of mortality amongst the middle
classes in situations undistinguished by confined
residences, or defective drainage, or anything but
an excessively smoky atmosphere; from the com-
paratively rapid improvement of convalescents
on removal to purer atmospheres, there is strong
reason to believe that the prejudicial effect is
much more considerable than is commonly ap-
prehended even by medical practitioners. As
the smoke in Manchester and other towns be-
comes more dense, the vegetation declines; and
even in the suburbs the more delicate species die.
Besides the prejudicial effects on the health of
the population by the deterioration of the quality
of the air that is breathed, a serious effect is
created by its operation as an impediment to the
formation and maintenance of habits of personal
and household cleanliness amongst the working
classes. Even upon the middle and higher
classes the nuisance of an excess of smoke, oc-
casioned by ignorance and culpable carelessness,
operates as a tax increasing the wear and tear of
linen and the expense of washing, to all who
live within the range of the mismanaged chim-
neys. In the suburbs of Manchester, for ex-
ample, linen will be as dirty in two or three days
as it would be even in the suburbs of London in
a week. One person stated that, on the Isle of
Arran, a shirt was cleaner at the end of a week's
wear than at Manchester at the end of a day's.
The appearance of the towns on the Sunday,
when nearly all, the furnaces are stopped, when
there is little more than the smoke from the
dwelling-houses, when everything is compara-
tively bright, and the distant hills and surround-
ing country that are never visible, though the
atmosphere of the town in the week-days may
be seen across it, presents nearly the appearance
which such towns would assume on thOworking
days, if the laws were duly executed, and the
excessive smoke of the furnaces prevented. On
inquiry of a peace-officer acting where redress is
provided for under a local Act, how it was that
the dereliction of duty occurred that was visible
in the dense black clouds that darkened the
town, he replied that the chief members of the
Board were the persons whose furnace-chimneys
were most in fault, and he appealed whether a
man in his condition was to -be expected to pro-
secute his patrons?

London : John Churchill, Princes-street, Soho.

At a inciting of manufacturers and others, held
at Leeds, for the suppression of the nuisance of
the smoke of furnaces, and'to discuss the various
plans for abating it, the resolution was unani-
mously adopted, " that in the opinion of this
meeting the smoke arising from steam-engine
fires and furnaces can be consumed, and that,
too, without injury to the •boilers, and with a
savin: of fuel." Notice of legal proceedings
being given against Messrs. Meux, the brewers
in London, for a nuisance arising from the chim-
neys of two furnaces, they fbund that by using
anthracite coal they abated the nuisance to the
neighbourhood, and saved 2001. per annum. The
West Middlesex Water Company, by
ing the smoke of their furnaces saved 1,0001. per
annum.

The gas companies in the city of London were
indicted for throwing their refuse into the
Thames, and compelled to dispose of it other-
wise; and they found out that they bad been
guilty of waste as well as of nuisance; and it
is stated that the whole of what was formerly
cast away has now become an important article
of commerce. •

In the rural districts the Courts Leet have ge-
nerally fallen into desuetude.' lii illustration of
the feeble tenure on which they were held, I
may mention that in some- instances, where it
has been necessary to disallow payments of fees
paid to the officers of those Courts from the
poor's rates, the stewards have stated that they
should hereafter discontinue the Courts; and it
is probable that they did so. In the towns,
Courts Leet are sometimes held, and inquest ju-
ries appointed; but it is objected to these bodies,
and frequently to the bodies constituted under
local acts, that they are usually composed of
tradesmen, who attend unwillingly, and at an in-
convenient sacrifice of time; who can have little
or no infbrmation in respect to the evils in ques-
tion; who have no arrangements to bring the
evils in question betbre them; no time to master
such information as may be brought before them
casually; little interest and scarcely any real
responsibility imposed for ensuring any mastery
of it; and neither time nor adequate means at
their disposal for the removal of such evils as
those in question, when they are presented to
them, and proved to exist. •

EMPLOYMENT OF WOMEN IN THE. FORMATION Or
RAILROADS.—The Moniteur des Chemins de Fer
says, one will remark with astonishment that nearly
one-half of the labourers employed on the Vendre
Railroad are females, who are preferred by the con-
tractors to men for works of importance on account of
their superior docility, strength, and courage. The
country of Liege has this particularity, that the fe-
males undertake all those works which require supe-
rior skill and application that in other countries are re-
served for men.

PRESENTS FROM. THE QUEEN
OF SPAIN.
WINDSOR, TIIURSDAY.—Four beautiful Spanish en-
tire horses arrived at Windsor'yesterday morning as
presents from Isabella 11. of Spain to her Majesty.
These horses reached this Country shortly after her
Majesty had left for Scotland, and were landed at
Woolwich, where they remained till yesterday morn-
ing, when they were taken to Paddington, and con-
veyed from thence to Slough by the Great Western
Railway, under the care of four grooms who arrived
with them from Spain, and a superintendent holding
the rank of Captain in the Spanish service. Yester-
day afternoon, at two o'clock, shortly after their arri-
val, they were taken by the Spanish grooms to the
new Riding-house, where they were seen by her Ma-
jesty and Prince Albert, who were attended by
Major-General 11 emyss
Colonel Bouverie (Equerry to the Prince). The
the
horses having been shown to her Majesty, were after-
wards ridden by(her Majesty's Equerry) and
Royal Equerries, and subse-
quently by Mr. Myers, Prince Albert's riding-mas-
ter, by whom they were

DUNBAR, SEPT. 19, 1842.—Mr. Lyon, of Glas-
gow, the contractor for the new harbour here, has
lately introduced that wonderful agent, the galvanic
battery, to aid him in his extensive blasting opera-
tions. Several explosions of considerable magnitude
have recently taken place. The largest contained
601bs. of powder, distribute•' in five bores of great
depth. The bores were placed so as mutually to
assist each other, and ' the conducting wires so ar-
ranged that the whole five were fired simultaneously
by one battery. It was surmised that by this
method the effect would be much greater than ex-
ploding the shots singly, and the almost incredible
quantity of rock thrown down showed the correct-
ness of the anticipation. In another instance, in
order to throw down a part of the celebrated Castle
of Dunbar, three bores, fifteen feet in depth, were
run obliquely into the rock below the foundation.
They were exploded together, and lifted from its bed,
in one unbroken and compact mass, a body of ma-
sonry weighing not less than 150 tons. These expe-
riments have been conducted by Mr. R. Thompson, a
young engineer in Mr. Lyon's employment.—Corre-
spondent of a Scotch Paper.
PRIVY COUNCIL.—Her Majesty will hold a Privy
Council at 'Windsor Castle, either to-morrow or on
Monday, when a proclamation will be agreed upon
for further proroguing Parliament from Thursday,
the 6th of October, to a future day.

Her Majesty having made a selection of two for her
own use, presented the others to her Illustrious Con-
sort. One of those retained by the Queen is a beau-
tifully marked skew-ball, standing 14 hands high, and
six years old. The other is a well-formed cream-co-
loured horse of the same height, and rising seven years
old. The tails of these two animals reach to within
an inch of the ground, and are perfect curiosities from
their extraordinary size and extreme fullness. The
horses presented by the Queen to his Rvyal Highness
(one a bay and the other a brown) are' both aged, and
of the same height—about 1i hands. These have
enormously large tails (compared with the great ma-
jority of horses of the English breed), but they are
not nearly of the size of the other two. The manes
of the four are very full and long, flowing to the
length of upwards of 14 inches over either side of
their necks. Their heads and necks are peculiarly
large and full, very much resemblin,, the horses of
Flanders and those bred in the Low Countries.

PRESENT TO THE QUEEN.
We have great pleasure in recording the following
pleasing instance of her Majesty's considerate regard
to a class of her subjects, who, although denied the
gratification which so many thousands of her people
enjoyed, of seeing her Majesty in her Royal progress
in Scotland, and of witnessing the splendour and
magnificence of her Majesty's reception, are never-
theless animated by as devoted a loyalty to their
beloved Queen, and have felt as cordial an interest in
all that they have heardof her Majesty's visit to Scot-
land, as any of the subjects of the realm. The inmates
of the Glasgow Asylum for the Blind, on hearing of
the Queen's intention to visit Scotland, prepared in
their own quiet way, under the direction of the matron
and her assistant, an offering for her Majesty, which
was transmitted by Mr. Alston, the honorary Trea-
surer, to Lady Belhaven, who takes an active and
benevolent interest in the Institution, and was pre-
sented by her 'to the Queen, when her Majesty was
at Tay mouth Castle. Th© present consisted of a
beautiful hassock, knitted with silk and worsted,
gracefully fringed, and lined with satin, and intended
for a sofa pillow. The hassock was accompanied with
several other ingenious specimens of the workmanship
of the blind, including a pretty play-ball for the
Prince of Wales. Her Majesty was graciously
pleased to accept the present, and expressed her ad-
miration of the taste displayed in the workmanship,
her
rhted sense to
o add
the feelingby commissioning four more hassocks of the same de-
scription to be made for her Majesty; and we are de-
dtha
that her
Majesty,whichprompted this offering by way of marking
on the part of the blind, was graciously pleased to
transmit, through Lady Belhaven, the sum of ten
pounds for the Glasgow Asylum for the Blind. At
the same time, her Grace the Duchess of Sutherland
requested Lady Belhaven to order three hassocks, of
exactly the same kind as had been presented to her
Majesty, to be made for her Grace. We are also in-
formed that Lady Campbell, the amiable lady of the
Lord Provost, has commissioned two of the Queen's
hassocks.—Edinburgh Paper.

THE BREADALBANE FAMILY.
• The present Marquis of Breadalbane is descended
from Sir Cohn Campbell of Glenorchy, a
younger son
Of the first ennobled person of the house of Campbell ;
he was one of the Knights of Rhodes, subsequently
designated of Malta. The fourth in descent from
this warrior, also named Sir Colin Campbell, of
Glenorchy, built the original house, the name of which
was till a recent. period Balioch that is bealoch, a
mouth or gap, expressive of the situation of the man-
sion at the opening of the valle of the Tay. In 1681,
Sir John Campbell of Glenorchy
was raised to the
peerage by the title of Earl 'of Breadalbane. • He had
married, in 1657, Lady Mary Rich,
daughter of the
Earl of Holland, the celebrated founder of Holland
House, at Kensington. This young lady having
a fortune of ten thousand pounds, was esteemed one
of the most desirable matches of her time. When
Sir John Campbell, out of innumerable suitors, suc-
ceeded in gaining her hand, he retired with her to
his Perthshire fastness in -a truly primitive fashion.
Upon one of the two Highland ponies which he had
taken with him to London, he himself mounted, with
his bride behind him ; Upon
the other he disposed
his ten thousand pounds, which was all in gold,
and at each side of that precious horse-load he dis-
posed a full-armed Highland gilly, who ran beside it
as a guard. The strange cavalcade arrived safe
in all its parts at Balloeh : and a small room used
to be shown in that old castle, which, for some
time, formed at once the parlour and bedroom
of the happy pair. This gentleman possessed
great natural talents, which, with his rank and
fortune, gave him considerable political im-
portance. It was to him, after the rebellion of
Viscount Dundee against the Revolution settlement,
that the Ministers of King 'William entrusted the sum
of 20,0001. for the purpose of purchasing the peace of
the disaffected Highland chiefs. His answer, when
afterwards called upon for an account of the disposal
of the money, is yet remembered :—" Gentlemen—
the money is spent, the Ifighlands are at peace, and
that is the only way of accounting among friends." In
1716,
when advanced to his eighty-first year, he was

SINGULAR RECO VERY of STOLEN

HORSES.
On Saturday se'nnight, about twelve o'clock, two
labouring men, who were rather groggy at the time,
were coming, out of the Magpie public-house, at
Whittington, when they observed a couple of men,
with long frocks, ride by, having neither saddles nor
bridles, but guiding their horses with halters. Being
primed for a good spree, one of the labourers called
out to the horsemen, " I shouldn't wonder but you've
stolen them horses." The riders made no reply, but
instantly galloped off as quickly as they could. This
at once aroused the suspicions of the labourers, and
they pursued them, calling out " Stop thief!" In de-
scending the hill they kept up well with the fugitives,
but lost ground again in rising the opposite itsce.t.
At this juncture they saw a man coming in the oppo-
site direction, and called out to him to stop the
horsemen. No sooner did the latter perceive that
they were, likely to be captured than they dis-
mounted, jumped over the walls at the road side,
and scampered off, being soon lost in the dark-
ness. The labourers immediately took the horses
which they had so unexpectedly captured to the
stables of Mr. Cupit, a neighbouring farmer, for
whom they work. Next day one of the animals, a
black cart mare, was discovered to have been stolen
from the premises of Mr. Cox, of Calow ; and the
other, a three-year-old, was found to he the property
of Mr. Biggin, of Chesterfield. Mr. Cox's son called
at 'Wittington, in the course of the morning, having.
traced the footmarks of the mare towards that place,
on account of the peculiar form of one of its shoes;
and was equally surprised and gratified to recover it,
-and to learn _the .Inanner of its recapture. Mr. Cox,
sen., had observed two men answeriwg to the descrip-
, lion of the fugitives strolling near his premises on
.the Saturday evening. On learning; the manner in
which the animals had been relearning;ed,,he generously
presented the labourers with half a sovereign, and
promised to use his utmost exertions to induce the
Chesterfield Association for the Prosecution of Felons
(of which he is a member), at their next meeting, to
reward them further, for the seal and determination
they evincel in the affair.—Sheffield Iris.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
CHATHAM, SEPT. 22.—Last night, about 10
o'clock, as one of the parish watchmen was going his
rounds, his attention was directed to an unusual quan-
tity of smoke issuing from the back part of the
premises occupied by Mr. Coster, plumber, painter,
and glazier, High-street, Chatham. Feeling per-
suaded that the house was on fire, he knocked at the
door, but finding no one answered, immediately
alarmed the neighbourhood, and the shop door was
soon burst open ; the air having been thus admitted,
the whole house was soon in one body of fire. The
flames extending rapidly, threatened destruction to
all around ; and from the many combustibles on the
premises used in the trade, the scene became terrific
and grand ; every minute volumes of flames were
thrown up to a very considerable height ; fortunately
the night was calm, or the damage would have been
most extensive and calamitous, as upwards of a dozen
small tenements, inhabited by poor people, abutted the
premises in rear of the fire, not one being injured.
The Kent county engine was first on the spot, and
was soon followed by another, belonging to the Royal
Marines, and one also from the Royal dockyard,
manned by the third division of the Dockyard police,
under the superintendence of Lieut. Wise. Several
others, with the Sun engine, followed in rapid suc-
cession ; but owing to the want of water, they were
rendered useless until a supply was furnished, brought
in beer barrels on drays, from the brewery establish-
ments of Mr. John Best, Messrs. John and Michael
Lock's, and from Mr. Hulk's, at Rochester. A sup-
ply, of water having been thus obtained enabled tlw
engines -to work with the greatest effect for nearly
three hours. The fire having strong hold, seemed to
bid defiance to the streams of water poured upon it,
and the flames soon extended themselves right and
left. The premises occupied by Mr. Cooper, boot and
shoe maker, are very considerably damaged, his stock
and furniture not being insured. Two of Mr.
Cooper's children were taken out of bed, at the top of
the house, by a ladder, and safely conveyed to a
neighbouring house. A widow lady, named Ar-
lidge, lodged in the house, and escaped unhurt, but
she has suffered severely in the loss of property; she
also is not insured. By one o'clock the fire was so
far got under as to allay all danger. The fire is sup-
posed to have originated in the back parlour, as it i.
stated by Mr. Coster that when be left his residence,
about nine o'clock in the evening, with his brother,
there was a small portion of fire left in the stove,
with some shavings near, and a cat 'lying on them,
but how the fire originated no one can tell. Some of
the neighbours state that the fire originated in the
workshop. Mrs. Coster and her two children were
from home, attending the exhibition of Price and
Powell's Circus. Mr. Coster's stock and furniture
are insured in the Royal Exchange. The four houses
partly destroyed are insured in the Kent. The inha-
,

bitants canna bestow too much praise on the goo('
conduct exhibited by the military on this as on al,
other similar occurrences.

ACCIRENT TO THE MAIL TRAIN ON THE NORTH
ANION RAILWAY.—AS the up London mail train,
which passes through Preston at three o'clock in the
morning' was proceeding on tts journey ria Wigan,
it came, when about three or four miles from the
latter place, in contact with some cows which hai
strayed on the line up to Coppall. On examination
it was found that two of them were killed, one of the
carric.ges being thrown off the line, and drawn in that
state for more than 100 yards. The engineer, finding
something wrong, stopped the train as soon as pos-
sible. It was immediately ascertained that no ma-
terial injury was done to the passengers, although
some of them were much alarmed, particularly those
in the latter carriage, which was the one thrown off
the line. Although there were many cows, and also
a horse, straggling on the railway, yet they all escaped
uninjured except the two before-mentioned,which were
quite dead. The morning was an extremelydark one,
and a luggage train coming up in the opposite direc-
tion at the time of the accident, made it almost
a miracle that no further damage was sustained. The
carriage thrown off the line was unhooked from the
others, and left behind, and the passengers occupyieg
it requested to take their seats in the other carriages ;
but, although they were then only about five miles
from. Wigan—the place of their destination—it was
with the greatest difficulty that any of them could
obtain accommodation amongst the other passengers
in the train. To such a pitch was this incivility car-
ried, that one gentleman, on soliciting admittance into
a carriage which the passengers objected to his en-
tering, found a seat totally unoccupied. Two or
three others were allowed, as a favour, to sit amongst
some ladies, and five were compelled to ride on the
engine-tender the remainder of the distance. These
gentlemen were returning from the Guild, at Preston.
The cattle, we are informed, belonged to Mr. William
Swift, of Standish, to whose servants tke blame is at-
tributed of leaving a gate open, by wh'sei the cows
entered upon the line. Of the latter we are not cer-
tain, but we suppose he must bear the loss, which to
him will he a serious one.—Liverpool Chronicle.
THE INNKEEPERS' HARVEST IN SCOTLAND.—The
Edinburgh Bonifaces reaped a capital harvest during
the period of her Majesty s visit to Scotland The
same may also be said ot that fraternity in a the
other towns in those neighbourhoods which her Ma-
jesty and the Prince honoured with their presence.
Beds, and indeed every other description of furniture
which could be, however tortuously, appropriated
for a resting-place at night, were amazingly up in
the market; chairs and tables at a high premium,
mattresses and paillasses scarce, though eagerly in-
quired after, and only to be procured at an im-
mense advance; and as for easy chairs and sofas,
happy and fortunate was he who could secure
the half of a couch, or the loan of a little
bit of an easy chair, at the rate of some-
thing like half a sovereign per night. One
gentleman connected with the Royal household slept,
or rather attempted to sleep, for six nights, upon the
only resting-place he could procure at one of the
largest inns at Edinburgh, which consisted of three
very hard serpentined wooden-bottomed chairs. For
this species of " accommodation" he was charged by
the modest Bonifitce the very moderate suns of only
half-a-sovereign per night. A story is told of George
who, stopping to breakfast one morning at a road-
side inn in Germany, was charged a guinea for a
new-laid egg. The king very naturally inquired if
eggs were scarce? " Not at all, your Majesty," re-
plied Boniface, " but Kings are." The Scotch, no
doubt upon the same excellent principle, caused evert-
thing, from a mutton chop to a feather bed, to look
up in the market during the Royal visit to the land
o' cakes, and attributed the sudden rise in creature
comforts to the scarcity of a Queen north of the
Tweed.

RATING THE GREAT WESTERN
RAIL.W.A.y,
CORSIIAM, SEPT. 21 —The long-expected decision
of the Mastrates in this case was given at the Petty
Sessions held here this day. Mr. Saunders, the

cretary, Mr. Knapp, the Solicitor to the Company,
Mr. G. Goldney, and several other
private a fair
ti ng
just
of l u partiestte rbi interested
stthe
l ee
in the decision, were 'present. Mr. e
Chairman, regretted that Sir J. Awdry, who had
taken very great pains, and had gone into a variety of
calculations to enable him to
come
to
conclusion,the j
tlstiNcev ass, notsir
,John present:
hadAt stated to them his a
reasons and calculations, in which the other
Magistrates entirely concurred, and
they had
accordingly come to the conclusion of adopt-
ing the principles laid down by Lord Den-
man at the late contested case in the Court of Queen's
Bench, but reducing the sum at which the Company
were assessed from 1,450/. to 9001. per mile. Mr. Knapp
and Mr. Saunders thanked the bench for the trouble
they had taken, though the latter, with due submis-
sion, thought it a very unsatisfactory result, and re-
quested permission to see the calculations of Sir J.
Awdry. This was of course thought likely +
to open the
whole question again, and therefore coul not be com-
plied with, without the consent of Sir John Awdry;
but the Chairman would make the application if Mr.
Saunders wished it. The decision now given was,
however, final, as far as the Magistrates were concerned.
Mr. Saunders then applied for expenses, which he
thought ought to be allowed, more especially as the
reduction from 1,450/. to 9001. per mile was so very
considerable. He would not, he said, press the ques-
tion, had it not been for the monstrous effort made by
the parish to rate them so high. Mr. G. Goidney ob-
served in reply to the latter remark of Mr. S., that
he had gone again and again through hi: figures, had
furnished Mr. Saunders with them, and conscien-
tiously believed his calculations to be correct. The
Bench thought each party ought to paY their own
expenses. The rate was then amended. Nothing
was said of an appeal to the Court of Queen's Bench,
which must be made within five days.
