ENGLISH, MISERY versus AMERICAN SLAVER., or
commenting on the recent response to the Stafford-leg?
ladies, Douglas Jerrold says :—" There can .be no 69
that there is much truth in what Mrs. America is
to speak. But the moral destitution, the moral blackp
of a thousand English outcasts do not make—five bun/,
free negroes of as many slaves. Very true is it tile,
have wretched, wo-begone children in our alleys; bate,
have
have " illicit" costermongers ; that our needlel.,pf
have starved, or, at times, anticipated death by a P"jiiii
from Waterloo-bridge ; true that there has been grill
misery in factories; misery unceasing,,remorseless ag
machinery once set at work. But all• this evil—BY
degrading, crushing woe, mocking—as with the moci
of a devil—our professions as a Christian people, all ttiii/

bitterness—this darkness where slavery is :2'oi. We of
/
sell it like a young hog ; we may not separate cO5Ol
monger Joe from his frail companion Sal. Poor Saloi
have a child at her breast, and one or two at what,/
call a home; yet Joe and Sal are safe from the Pei
buyer, and may love on and quarrel on, and their "
barbarians" may still dispute with the pigs on the
heap,—no human flesh-dealer daring to cast his 1'
bargaining eyes upon them.

IMPORTANCE OF TOWN DILAINAGE.—It is ilTlo,9;j,
to over-estimate the importance to a community of VA
the soil and the buildings kept in a state free from
tore, not only as regarda the health and comfort ?op;
inhabitants, but also in. reference to the preservatli
property of almost every description ; but the rel
the offensive refuse arising from dwelling-houses,
&c., and the thousand deleterious compounds disclo
from manufactories, form a still more important d efoo
ratum. The consequences of a good system, of sel°oo
are not confined to mere bodily comforts or advali
but produce an important effect in elevating the wboleaf;
of society ; while an inefficient one not only furnisheOL
tile source of disease and discomfort of a physical cbOV4
to all classes of the community, but renders the '6
degradation of an otherwise degraded popnlatioti.e6
hopeless and complete. This, then, is the main obi (r,)
draining a town—not that the soil be rendered free")
damp—not that the town should be put beytnd tbe.tt
of being damaged by an occasional flood—but 04°,1,
great cause of that squalor and misery, to which c/e.:ol;ei
is frequently an unwilling witness, should be re„,"o-16'
and
.the air in the poorer and more densely-PS/if,
districts rendered pure and wholesome.—The Bto
