PROJECT FOR RETAINING SMITHFIELD
MARKET.—A scheme is nuw on foot for excavating be-
neath the whole area of Smithfield market, in order to
form abattoirs. The plans are nearly completed, and we
understand will shortly have to be brought before Parlia-
ment. A. depth of not less than. 25 feet is talked of, fie
capable of being applied to the purpose of slaughter-
houses, and without any want of sufficient drainage or
light. The cattle being driven into the market during
the night will be slaughtered on the spot, and thus, the
projectors think, obviate the main objection to the present
locality. Mr. Andrew Moseley is the architect employed.

STEALING GARDEN STUFFS.—A man named Charing
Hughes, and a youth named Sweeney, were yesterday
charged with stealing lettuce, &c., from several gardens
in Bootle-lane, Kirkdale. They were apprehended by
police-officers 69 and 70, and it appears that the depreda-
tions in the locality are frequent and serious to grcrvars-
The boy was discharged, and the man committed to o°l
for a month under the statute provided for the offence.
RATHER BACKWARD._—Upwards of three thousand

years ago, the people of Israel had a sanitary code of
and an efficient sanitary police : it is necessarily two thou`
sand years since the cities of heathen and barbaric Rome
were constructed with an aspecial reference to the health
of their inhabitants, lavishly supplied with the means 0'
preserving it, and placed under efficient sanitary superill-

dente: but Christian England, in the middle of thenine."
teenth century, has only just reached that stage of, cis!i'
lization and enlightenment in which a large and compre-
hensive measure of sanitary reform, could command the
attention of its legislature, and engage the sympathies of
its people. How full of reproof is that simple statement
of facts,—People's Journal.
CHANGE OF SEASON. —Now that the present fine
weather unmistakably indicates the rapid approach of 8
sultry summer, it may not be out of place to advise those
who prize the valuable jewel, health, to devote the serious
attention to it which is absolutely imperative at this

season. It is a well-established fact that the majority of
" the ills which flesh is heir to " are mainly attributable
to an unhealthy state of the blood and consequent iinper-
feet circulation. To remedy this, and promote a healthy
and regular action at the secretions, we recommend
trial of " Priestley's Consentrated Decoction of S 3
parilla." It is prepared on scientific principles by '1
