MR. H. G. HARBORD'S LECTURE ON THE
SANATORY CONDITION OF THE TOWN.

An interesting lecture was delivered last night in
Toxteth Hall by Mr. Harbord, surgeon, by request of
the Health of the Town Committee, to a numerous
audience of the middle and working classes, upon the
effect of deficient sanatory regulations in inducing atisease
and criminal habits. J. B. Yates, Esq., took the
chair, and amongst the gentlemen on the platform were
the Rev. T. Nolan, the Rev. H. Hampton, Mr. Joseph
Harrison, Mr. John Smith. Mr. Haeiord commenced his
lecture by remarking upon the necessity of legislation
upon. the subject, as shewn by the registrar's returns ind
the report published by the sanatory commissioners, and
proceeded to explain the objects of the Health of the
Town Association. In commencing the subject matter
of his lecture be quoted largely from a series of letters
which he published originally in the Liverpool Standard,
under the signature of " Medicus Achates," and went on

the mode of avoiding those risks, they should .he made
cdtolaaisslyhseersL from inattention to sanatory precautions, and-
acquainted, to a certain extent, with some of the leading
facts of physiology. It is from the ignorance of the
nature of those animal machines, our bodies, that our
legislators have committed errors which have been so
fatal to the people, and that the people themselves have'
aided the injurious operation of many of the causes which
are daily destroying their lives and health. Medical
men, the lecturer admitted, are to some extent to blame.
They devote themselves too exclusively to the cure of
disease, and make its prevention a secondary object.
The lecturer proceeded to describe the structure and
functions of the principal parts of the human machine,
the heart, lungs, skin, blood, &c., and proceeded to tract:.
those causes of ill-health of these organs which may be-
neutralized by proper regulations by those in authority.
Amongst such regulations he enumerated the improve..
ment of the sewerage, the drainage, the ventilation, and
the general construction of cotton and other property.
As connected with these improvements he noticed the
influence which landlords possessed in promoting them,
and argued that if the landlords would `properly consider
their own interests, they would find themselves benefitted.
by adding to the comforts of their tenants. The scaveng.:
ing of the back streets he noticed as detective, and there
was a lamentable want of privy accommodation.
The lecturer proceeded to make some excellent remarks
upon the advantages to the working classes of having
their wages paid on the Friday, instead of their being
deferred until Saturday; and the further advantage of
their being paid elsewhere than at a public-house, the
evil tendency of which he shewed. A second class of
causes were next noticed, viz: those over which poor
people themselves have control, amongst which he
enumerated ov, rcrowding in houses, stuffing chimneys in
sleeping rooms, cleanliness and general domestic manage-
ment; and in treating these be shewed that filthiness
leads to drunkenness, and the two to disease and death.
The lecturer went on to offer some excellent remarks
upon the mismanagement of their earnings by the labour-
ing classes, upon huckster dealing, and other modes of
tempting extortion and robbery ; and, on the subject of
the advantage of possessing proper places of recreation,
paid a deservedly high compliment to Mr. R. V. Yates
for the munificent provision of a park for the public en-
joyment in Toxteth Park. The lecture was concluded
by some striking remarks upon the great mortality
amongst the children of the labouring classes, from small
pox, measles, &c., &c., especial), front quackery and
mismanagement of the severe attacks of illness. Mr.
Harbord concluded this very instructive and interesting
lecture amidst great approbation.

At the conclusion of the lecture Me.. J. B. YATES, the
chairman, expressed the satisfaction with which he had
heard the lecture, and expressed a hope that the lecturer
would resume the subjea on a future opportunity. The
Rev. T. Nolan moved a vote of thanks to Mr. Harb,ird
for his admirable lecture. and to the Chairman, which
was secolded by Mr. J. Smith, afLr which the meeting
adjourned.

PROCESSION OF ABSTINENCE SOClETlES.—Yesterday
morning the members of the Rechabite Tents, a,id
Abstinence Societies, assembled at the Comirercial.hall,
and thence walked in procession through many of the
leading streets of the town, with flags gayley fling and
bands playing. Many of the larger flags were fixed in
carts, which conveyed parties, male and fem:ile, in the
line of procession. The whole were in their holiday
attire, and looked remarkably well. Ti, abstinence fes-
tivities of these societies will, it appears, be kept op Every
evening in the pre.ient week, by tea-parties, &c. at the •
Commercial-hall.

EXPORTS OF FLOUR FROM THE UNITED Sa.
The writer of tire city article in the New York Mottling
Herald, in giving a statement of the exports ct Ameri-
can flour in 1841 and 1844 remarks—" It will be observed,
that Great 11 itain arid her Colonies are our best markets:
Brazil comes next." The exports to England in 1844
were 166,576 barrels, value 742538 dollars ; British West
Indies 303391 barrels, value 1396630 dollars ; British
Guiana 20773 brrrels, value 97806 dollars ; British Ame-
rican Colonies 319.032 barrels, value 1,397,817 dollars.
and other dependencies of Great Britain about 10,000
barrels, value 40,000 dollars. It is worthy of remark
that this statement shews a decline in the exports to
Great Britain since 1841.

A WITNESS EXTRAORDINARY.—RaiIway projectors
occasionally get hold of queer folks to assist to consume
the time of committees and the money of shareholders
as witnesses in favour of their schemes. In the Oxforyl
and Wolverhampton Committee the other day, a worthy
bookseller, of Rugby, was called to speak to the traffic of
tbat town ; and, on his cross-examination, stated that if
the Great Western line were obtained, " be should have
books cheaper." Imagine a railway line being decided
for or against on the score of cheapening the carriage of
booksellers' parcels! The same genius added that "his
trade depended upon the prosperity of Rugby" (of
course); and " that prosperity mainly depended upon an
increase of population—leaptciallg if it teas literary."
From such a literary"" increase, we presume the worthy
bookseller anticipated an increased demand for horn
books and reading-made-easys.

STAFFORDSHIRE IRON WORES.—III the Lords' com-
mittee, on Tuesday, Mr. Barker, iron and coal master,
of South Staffordshire, was examined. He said the make
of iron in the district of South Staffordshire was 9000
tons of pig iron weekly, being nearly one-third of all the
make of Great Britain. The whole make of pig iron for
the United Kingdom was 30,000 tons weekly. Of this
10,000 were made in South Wales, 9000 tons in South
Staffordshire, 7000 tons in Scotland, and the remaining
3000 tons in Derbyshire and Shropshire.
THE STOAT AND THE HARE.—A farmer while on
his way to attend Bedford market, on Saturday, heard
screams as if from an animal in distress, in a field ad-
joining the road. He proceeded to the spot, and found a
hare attacked by a stoat, in the agonies of death. So
intent was the ferocious little creature on the destruction
of its victim, that the approach of the stranger was un-
heeded, who, with the butt end of his whip, and before
the death-struggle of the hapless hare had ceased, laid the
stoat dead at his feet. The hare was of the male kind,
and very large, weighing about 10Ibs., whilst that of its
little blood-thirsty antagonist scarcely exceeded half a
pound.—Bedford Mercury.
MINISTERIAL MAJORITIES.—A minister with a large
majority, like a tradesman with a great capital, may go on
for a long time in a bad way without coming to ruin. He
may break into his principle over and over again without
being compelled to relinquish his business : but the time
will come at last when he will be under the necessity of
doing so. The Whigs have already afforded an instance
of the inevitable failure that results from a course of reck-
less extravagance or unprincipled expediency. They
commenced by a large capital which they dwindled away
by degrees, and Sir R. Peel is doing the same thing as
speedily as possible. The stock of popularity which the
ministers had at one time to back them has long been
sensibly diminishing, and the proceedings at some of the
recent elections serve to show that the government is in
very bad order.—Times.

subscribe the following declaration :—" I, A. 8., do
solemnly and sincerely declare, that I acknowledge and
receive the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testa-
ment, as containing the revealed will of Almighty God."
As it regards a professedly Christian pestle, could anything
less be requited, or anything be less objectionable, or
anything more appropriate, in respect of the teachers
of colleges to bk: paid from the national resources? The
objections stated by the Home Secretary to the clause are
most justly described by the epithet contemptible. That
Mr. Gladstone should be found among the opponents of
it is mournful • but, at the same time, is instructive, as
more fully developing to the country the unsound notions
of that remarkable man. He objected (we quote from
the Times) to the test " on account of its ambiguity.
He likewise objected to it because it involved a new
theological proposition of a solemn nature, and because.

in his opinion, that proposition should not, without
further investigation (1), be established as a part of the
permanent law of the country." The right honourable
gentleman advanced other ohkctions of equal potency.
The real objection, as we believe, was stated by Mr.
Redington, in the following words :—" The introduction
of such a test as that proposed by the hon. gentleman
would excite great dissatisfaction among the Roman
Catholics of Ireland." Yes, such are Papists.

notice of their intention to stand their trials at the present

Thursday, but they have been advised to keep out of the

The population of the districts thus placed in direct

amount to 570,000 on the north-east, and on the south-

sion to subside and reason to interpose, and the person so

to murder. If, therefore, two persons deliberately fight
a duel, and one of them be bided, the other and his se-
cond are guilty of murder, no matter how grievous the
provocation, or by which party it was given ; and even the
second of the deceased is guilty of the same crime, as

THE ELECTIONS.—On Monday the nomination of a
candidate for the representation of West Suffolk. in the
room of Colonel Rushbrooke, took place, when Captain
Bennet, an opponent of the leag-w, wit: returned without
opposition. On Tuesday, Sir F. Thesiger, the new attor-
ney-general, was re' urned for Abingdon, by a majority of
30, the numbers being at the close—Thesiger 156, General
Caulfield 126. Sir J. Duckworth was returned for
Exeter, the same day, by a majority of 670, the numbers
being,—Duckworth, 1,258; Briggs, 588. At Abingdon
the governmPr t :ias received a lesson ; though not so dis-
tinct an one as was desirable. The Attorney-Ge-
neral, alrc.idy representing the borough, of popular
manners ~nd good character, and having a day's start in
the ca-iN ass, has been able to gain no larger a majority
than thirty votes, over a mere stranger! And this in a
borough which has never been contested since the Reform
Bill, and which was considered so " safe" that the govern-
ment gave Sir F. Thesiger his promotion and sent him
down for re-election, without the slightest apprehension of
any danger. So far, then, has the Maynooth Bill ope-
rated, even in the quiet borough of Abingdon. Cam-
bridge presents a painful scene. The two parties, Whig
and Tory, have there conspired against the Protestant
feeling of the town. Here the government was aware of
its danger, and hesitated several days before it would in-
cur the risk. It was only when it was known that a mere
Whig would be the opponent, and that the Maynooth
question would not be raised,—that the government ven-
tured to appoint Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, and to send him down
for re-election. Had a good Anti-Maynooth candidate
been started, it is highly probable that Mr. Kelly would
have declined the contest, and would have taken refuge in
some pocket borough.

STRUCTURE OF THE TEETH.—The teeth, it is well
known to physiologists, are composed of bony structure,
which is covered with a coating of enamel—a substance of
a fibrous nature, and so hard as to strike fire with a steel.
Notwithstanding its apparent hardness, the enamel is,
however, extremely susceptible of injury, and it thus be-
comes highly important to ascertain what preparations are
best adapted to preserve so important a substance in its
pristine integrity and beauty. We do not hesitate there-
fore to recommend ROWLAND'S ODONTo, OR PEARL
DENTIFRICE, as the most valuable means of purifying,
embellishing, and preserving the Teeth and Gums, yet
offered to the public.--See advt.
