ON THE SANITARY STATP, OF SOME PARTS

OF LIVERPOOL,

" In litihln, a town of monks and bones,
And pavements fang'd with murderous stones
And rags, and hags, and hideous wenches,

All well.defined and genuine stinks!—
Ye nymphs that reign o'er sewers and sinks,
The river Rhine, it is well known,
Doth wash your city of Cologne;—
But tell me, nymphs! what power divine
Shall henceforth wash the river Rhine ?"

Coleridge's Table Talk

Mx. EDITOR,-It were to be much wished that the
poet-satirist of Cologne had hapFeried to have paid a
visit to Liverpool: he would have felt himself obliged to
tax his powers of description even to a greater pitch, if it
had been possible, in order to do justice to the pre-emi-
nent stinks teeming from her overcrowded habitations
and surcharged cesspools. It is a great loss to society,
for had be lived and been retained for the lofty purpose
of setting in the rich framing of his satirical fancy a true
full-length portrait of Liverpool Proper, to be held up as
a rod " in terrorena" for after-coming cities, what a boon
might have been thereby conveyed !—what an heir-loom
might have descended as a warning to posterity ! The
facts for the portrait might have been furnished from the
armoury of our medical experierwes ; the lights and sha-
dows might have been culled from Dr. Duncan's pam-
phlet ; and not a few tintings, perhaps, from the contri-
butions of current writers-down of the historical gaps of
Liverpool Im-proper. Some are disposed to think he
meant the above description for Liverpool.
Lest the data should not yet have quite accumulated
up to an adequate conviction point, I shall continue to
give to the public some further observed facts and reflec-
tions from my note-book. I attempt to reduce them
under something like heads, for obvious convenience.

TOPOGRAPHICAL ADVANTAGE FOR DRAINAGE AT A

DISADVANTAGE

A court in Blair-street ought to have attracted the at-
tention of the authorities, by some means or other, weeks
ago. The solitary policeman on his beat might have dis-
covered the condition of this court, or rather back alley
—perhaps it is not a court at all, although definitions for
such like quarters in Liverpool are ratber difficult, but
call it an alley—l say he ought to have discovered the
disgraceful condition of it even if he had only one eye,
and that eye even not gifted with a vision capable of dis-
criminating between men and trees. I have an idea in
my head about the proper sphere of duties for a police-
man, which leads me to the conclusion that nuisances
palpable, visible, smellable, ought to obtrude themselves
upon his vigilant commission. But no ! I must be la-
bouring under a mistake in this respect. Their range of
duty bears most indirectly upon filth and horrid nuis-
ances, but most directly upon what concerns the high-
way—an old woman's comparatively inoffensive apple-,
stall—a ragged urchin chalking his early alphabet, or first
lines in perspective, on the flag-stones—an umbrella open
with a few halfpenny tracts spread upon it—a milk-jug
spilt—or a bottle broken, and its crystal fragments left
to ornament the spot—where a wreck has happened, or a
chance-medley of the pushing crowd has precipitated the
egg-basket to an untimely rendering up of its account—
all such little moving incidents, or mute relics of what
hath been, will call forth with the fittest appropriateness
the policeman's officious comments, be they in the accents
of an order for peremptory retiring such nuisances as
obstructions from the offended pathway, or be they, in
some happy moment of the official's self-complacency,
expressive of commiseration or pity for the unhappiness
or bad luck of the wretched milk-jug owner, &c. &c.
I do not mean to say that even these trifles may not,
ought not to engage his attention. Undoubtedly they are
subjects of proper oversight, but they become insignifi-
cant items of duty when compared with other and vastly
more important duties. These greater duties about
greater nuisances ought to be " done," and the lesser
need not therefore be left "undone." Society will at
once appreciate this correct order of things. An apo-
thegm will confirm it :—" His mind is great who can
attend to great things ; but his is greater who can take
into the scope of his attention things little as. well as
great." I have rendered the sense, though not the exact
words, of some remembered author.

Let the policeman have the amount of credit due to him
for looking sharp after orange peelings, milk-sioppings,
and other salvages of the highway wrecks ; but why, in
the name of common sense, should he not take official
cognizance of heaps as well as particles—of oceans or
pools as well as drops? It seems, to the mind of a medi-
cal observer, nothing but right that he should; and that
iu the light of common sense—not specially of medical
sense. Whether the public will agree that such medical
common sense is based upon common sense, cannot be
predicated safely in the instance I am going to mention;
but it is quite possible the thing may be realised in the fact
of the abatement of the nuisance in question. If this
abatement does take place, then are the authorities and
ourself " at one," and we shall have the satisfaction of
knowing that we possess not only sense common to so-
ciety, but also to the authorities ! But, if so, why should
not the police have credit given them for common sense;
and if they do obtain, like ourselves, this credit, why is
not their duty based upon it? Why does it not square
with it? If it does, then the state of much of the filthy
degradation rests upon the neglect of this duty ; and it is
fitting they should be told of it, and invited by an humble
individual to increased vigilance in the discharge of that
duty ' • not for the future reign of the Sanitary Act, dating
from Jan. 1. 1847, but now/ now, whilst disease is rife,
and epidemic disorders are lifting up their fatal beads.
If, on the contrary, these gentle monitions of a medical
practitioner are wrongly based on the assumption of su-
pererogatory duties of police, what can police duties be
made of ? They cannot he made of that stuff we call com-
mon sense; they must be compounded of some super-
sense—some cut-and-dried police sense, which medical
authorities know not of, and which is entirely foreign to
the natural history of disease and death ! And then, if
such is the case, what are the police rates levied for, and
the scavengers' rate, and so on ? Unless they are instru-
mental in waging war with the hot-beds of disease, and if
they leave the "filthy to be filthy still," in an over-
crowded population, where are we? If the authorities
only knew the numbers of rate-payers amongst the small
tenement-holders, who are grumbling at the hard-hips of
contributing to rates the application of which is too par-
tial to reach their doors with vivifying streams and hesoms
destructive of filth, they would issue now immediately or-
ders to all their numerous staff, not only to remove nui-
sances complained of, and which is only half the cure, but
to complain of them themselves. Then something would
be done effective and hope-giving. As it is, a lethargy
broods over police and population, and the activities of
malaria are making sad inroads upon human constitutions,
because " knowledge is" not power," and virtuous habits
do not overcome vicious ones.

How can the relay of policeman after policeman, cn a
beat, so quietly pass by, day after day, week after week,
month atter month, year after year, all those foul and
loathsome accumulations with which alone my own pen
has been contaminated for this long time past—let alone
the catalogues of other observers.
These remarks have reference extensively to the gene-
ral neglect cf duty by the police in nuisance matters, as I
cannot have failed to establish, although they spring par-
ticularly out of a case in Blair-street, which certainly
might, without exaggeration, be taken as a type of the
nuisances of Liverpool Im-proper. A back court, or
alley, leads from the street down the declivity of the
hilly ground on which the street stands. At the foot of
the alley, the rear wall of the back premises of some
houses appears to block up the passage into a cul de sac
form. Whether there is any outlet here, or further
downward vent, deponent knoweth not, as he had not a
boat!—but evidence goes against the supposition very
strongly. If there is, or was, it is not a vent at the pre-
sent either for footsteps or fcr water-escape even. A
bcdy of filthiest fluid is retained between the walls of
ashpit-, &c., on the sides and the blockading wall at the
bottom end. The descent of the passage is rapid, and all
the fluid is stagnated at the lowest part, of course; and
this to a height of 2or 3 feet at least. Some time since,
I believe I am fully correct in saying, it could not have
been less than 3 or 4 feet. To gauge its actual depth,
could not be accomplished by any but a courageous nil:ht-
man. The walls themselves form a tolerable index. This
has been stagnant there for weeks, and a more abomina-
ble place cart rarely be found. It is passing strange how
tenants can allow day after day to witness such an accu-
mulation and overflow. The contribution would appear
to be formed from several back yards and their drainages.
The only place I can imagine where the policeman's eyes
were who goes on duty there, must have been in his
pocket. The resources of physic must be plied in vain
where sickness claims them in such a quarter. The na-
tural advantages of the ground, therefore, must be at a
discount—or indeed rather, once such a blockade is al-
lowed to take place, the tiQe becomes the abuse, and the
tendency of gravitating fluid would serve to maintain, as
an increasing evil. such a nuisance, in spite of all the re-
sults of evaporation.—l remain. yours, &c.,

DROWNING OFF THE OgMstiEAD.—A man, named
Daniel Hicks, one of the seamen on board the steam-
packet William Penn, which plies between this port and
Waterford, was unfortunately drowned when the vessel
was off the Ormshead, on the morning of Saturday last.
On Saturday morning, the deceased was standing upon
the rails in the afterpart of the vessel, for the purpose of
fastening a sail to dry to one of the stancheons, when an
iron rod. which hooked in the stancheon. slipped out, in
consequence of which he immediately fell overboard. A
life buoy was instantly thrown towards him; but he did
not appear to notice it. The engines were also stopped.
and a boat lowered by the men, in which he was secured
just as he was sinking the last time. Every means which
were available on board the packet, were resorted to for

the restoration of the unfortunate man, but without effect,
He was quite sober when he fell into the water.

STRANDING OF THE STEAMER DDNDAI.KI—During
the greater part of Saturday night and Sunday morning,
we were visited by a very heavy fog—indeed the weather
was so thick at intervals that it was impossible for inward
or outward bound vessels to observe the lights. The
powerful steam-ship Dundalk, inward bound, with a
heavy cargo, under the command of Captain_ Hutcheson,

who had most judiciously greatly slackened speed, got
aground on Bootle Sands, about half a mile to the south-
ward of the Landmarks. So slow, however, was she
going, that her touching was scarcely perceptible to those
on board; but on the tide receding she was left snugly
high and dry. The active agent, Mr. James Metge, (to
whom, as well as the commander, every praise is due,)
lost no time in providing steamers, in case of necessity.
By the aid of. two of the Seacombe boats, the deck cargo
was discharged, and on the coming tide the vessel was
floated off. .At four o'clock she was berthed in the Cla-
rence Dock, neither the vessel nor her freight having
sustained the slightest injury.

rigged, and with a screw propeller as an auxiliary to her
sail propulsi,m, made a trial-trip which proved to be most
gratifying, inasmuch as it shows that the judicious com-

all probability, and that soon too, effect a revolution in
the structure and appointment of a large portion of our
sea-going mercantile marine with greater advantages, (at
a comparatively small cost,) in speed ; and consequently
advance to a yet incalculable dPgree the career of com-
merce with all parts of the world.

About h,lf-past seven a ni., a party of gentlemen, in-
vited by the owners, embarked in a river steamer at the
Seacombe Slip, and were taken on board the new vessel,
which was lying at anchor in the offing.
The Antelope—built from a draught by Mr. John
Grantham—was seen from the quay to great advantage,
and her appearance commanded the marked attention of
hundreds of spectators. Her foremast is stepped well aft,
on account of her sharpness forward, and all her masts
have a considerable rake. Her spars and rigging, though,
on a near approach, rather heavy for our taste, become
her well ; and her model being fine, and her length great,
she has the apl,earsrrce of a handsome corvette; and if it
were war times, a would-be privateersman's mouth would
water at the sight of her, particularly if he considered
that she had, in addition to her other wicked qualities, an,
invisible and strong propulsion in addition to her sails.
The following are the dimensions, &c

The engines are on the direct-acting principle intro-
duced by Mr. Grantham, and these, together with the
coal bunkers, occupy in all only 27 feet of the length of
the vessel, so that the machinery takes but little from the
stowage. She is the property of Messrs. M'Tear, Had-
field and other gentlemen, and is to run between this port
and Rio Janeiro, with goods and passengers, The cabins
are most elegantly and chastely fitted np. The dining
room is panelled in richly feathered and polished maho-
gany, with pilasters of satin-wood between. The fancy
capitals and cornicing iv of a light tint, touched with gold,
and the ceiling to correspond. It is lighted by two large
square deck lights of stained and variegated glass. The
dormitories are large and replete with every convenience.
At one end is a splendid picture of Rio Janeiro, seen from
the sea, and amongst the shipping is easily recognized
" The Antelope," as the most rakish craft amongst the
fleet. On the walls are four other views from the neigh-
bourhood of the same port—all of them beautiful, deli-
cate, and illustrative of the locality, which is one of the
finest in South America. These are enamelled on
papier mache, and in gilded frames surmounted (as are
all the door-ways to the bed-rooms) with the semblance
of the Antelope in alto and gilded. There are berths for
35 first-class passengers, and a proportionate number for
those of humbler degree

The Ladies' Cabin is a beautiful apartment, empa-
nelled and painted in light colours in an elegant style.
and provided with sofas. There is also a fine after-
cabin, with circular sofa seats, and having the advan-
tage of the stern windows.

There were on board Mr. Mc Tear, Mr. J. P. Mather,
Messrs. Timothy and Thos. Jevon, Mr. Braga, the Vice-
Consul of the Brazils, Mr. T. R. Robinson, Mr. T. P.
Forwood, Mr. W. Brice, Mr. Newton, of the firm of
Currie and Newton, Mr. Ross, of the Chronicle, Mr.
John Grantham, Capt. Thompson, of the new ship " Sa-
rah Sands," Mr. Thompson, of Messrs. McTear and
Co's., Mr. Montgomery, an American gentleman, and
others. The morning was beautifully fine, with the wind
light from the southward.
After the party had partaken of an excellent breakfast
the anchor was weighed and the vessel steamed up the
river, at half-past eight o'clock, to opposite the south
end of the Albert Dock warehouses, where she rounded,
and ran down the river with steam only, though the
wind was then southerly. She reached the rock at two
minutes past nine. At Oh 53m she passed the Formby
Lightship, having accomplished 4 miles in twentv-three
minutes. She reached the Bell Buoy at twenty-four
minutes past ten, which, including stoppages from the
unavoidable heating of parts of the new machinery, and
which occupied in all twenty minutes, made 8 knots an
hour good going. At one time she made 9.1 knots an hour,
and we have no doubt but that when the stiffness of her
engines is worn off, and sh has a leading wind, she will
accomplish from 12 to 13 knots an hour.

The wind now chopped to the N.W. by W. and blew
stiffly, with rain. At forty minutes past eleven o'clock,
the North-West Light-ship was about two miles distant,
the ship being on a wind, and going under her three
topsails, fore any main trysail, &c., close hauled. She
stood well to her canvas, and was as stiff as a crutch.
It must be added, that though there was on some occa-
sions a heavyish sea, into which other vessels were dig-.
gang their noses, she dashed onward with great ease and
steadiness, and without shipping a drop of water. The
engine made from 35 to 36 strokes per minute. The
vessel beat out to within a short distance of the Ormshead,
and would have proceeded, but during great part of the
day, after passing the Formby Light-ship, the rain fell
heavily, and somewhat marred the enjoyment of the trip'

and, this being generally thought to be the finale,

Captain Thompson (:,f the Sarah Sands) paid a h'gh
compliment to Mr. Grantham. He had asked that gen-
tleman what engine room would be required to attain
seven knots an hour, what for eight knots, and what for
nine ; and the reply led him to the conclusion that the
proportionately small space and engine expense for the
seven knots would be the cheapest. Out of this, the
seven knots was taken for this vessel, but they had got
eight knots out of her, which was more than Mr. Gran-
tham, in his anxiety not to mislead, had calculated upon.
with the 27 feet only. (Cheers.)—M:. Court proposed,
with a high compliment, the " health of Captain
O'Brien," to which that gentleman ably responded•
—The "health of Mr. Forwood" was proposed, as a ship-
per to the Brazils.—Mr. F. returned thanks. He sale
that machinery was yet in its infancy, that improve"
ments would_ go on, and that we should yet " bridge
the Atlantic."

On the health of the Emperor of Brazil, connected
with the name of Mr. Braga, being drunk, that gentle-
man, in a truly eloquent address, referred to the con-
nexion between this country and that which he repre-
sented, and expressed an assurance that they would ibt
b-come more intimately attached ; to which object be,
should lend his utmost aid. lie proposed the health of
her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain. (Cheers.)
Mr. Court, in terms of eulogium, proposed the health
of Mr. Grantham, who modestly replied, simply express-
ing his gratification that the estimates which he had
given as to speed had been admitted to be more thrill
realised. He furnished instances of vessels, even coasters.
on the principle he bad laid down, that had performed.
with large cargoes, unusually rapid and profitable Pee;
slges. The Antelope could receive in her bunkers-1411
between decks—sufficient coal for 25 days steaming, which
was generally enough for a voyage to the Brazils.
The ship made good way in returning homeward, and
the weather having cleared up, those on board enjoyed
themselves to a high degree. She passed many vessels
under double the same press of canvass. She ran from
the Bell Buoy to the Rock in one hour and six minutest
and afterwards anchored in the Sloyne. The guests thence
debarked by boats, highly delighted by the day's ex-

THIS highly-attractive MODEL, the most interesting
subject ever submitted to the world, has lately been visited

by upwards of 50,000 Persons, of all rant
in Dublin, Belfast, &c.

This beautiful and elaborate Work is the production of a
Private Gentleman of distinguished Biblical and Literary repu-
tation, who; to indulge his own ardent aspirations for a just
notion of -the great scene in" which the Mystery of Man's Re-
ilemption' was.wrought, undertook and executed it as a lahour
of love. It occupies a space of more than 100 Superficial
ware Feet, and has been prepared from exact measurements
to en on the spot, after a diligent study for many years of all
the Historical Passages in the Sacred Scriptures and Josip`mis,
as well as of all the learned authorities upon the subject, from
the writers of the middle ages, down to Villepandus and Camlet,
and thence to the writings of 1)r. Wilde, Robinson, Bartlett,
Williams, &c., giving a faithful and correct delineation of

PATENT C ENTRAL.FT REGUN,
WITH SAFETY NIPPLE.
JBENTLEY respectfully calls the attention of
• Sportsmen to his IMPROVED CENTRAL-FIREGUN,
the advantages of which over the old plan need only to be seen
to be at once acknowledged.
The plan has given great satisfaction to all who have adopted
it, as the numerous testimonials J. B. has received amply

prove, and which he will be glad to show to any Gentleman who
will favour him with a call.
THE SAFETY NIPPLE
is acknowledged by all who have seen it, to be what it is de-
scribed—in reality, A SAFETY NIPPLE. From the method in
which it is fixed in the breach, it is utterly impossible it can be
blown out ; and, when the many accidents from Nipples being
improperly fixed are taken into consideration, it must be pro-
nounced one of the greatest improvements in the Fowling-piece
which has for many years been submitted to the Public.

THIS DELIGHTFUL LIQUEUR stands pre-
eminent as a finished specimen of what Punch should be.
It is in a high state of concentration; and when diluted, pre-
sents to the connoisseurs in tangible reality, that which before
existed but in imagination.

most successfully combined with other wholesome ingredients;
and introduced as a delicious LIQUEUR, known as

ORANGE GINGERETTE :
And, in a strongerform, (as an anti7sp_asmodic,)under the style

GINGER BRANDY

These, as well as the eximious IMPEKIAL LIQUEUR

sent them to the consumer in a convenient form, these Liqueurs
are BOTTLED, SEALED, and LABELLED by the Distillers,

IMPORTANT

INFORMATION

TO MESSRS. HILES AND COMPANY

Gentlemen,—l have tasted several times the sample of Im-
perial Green Ginger Wine with which you favoured me, and
am of opinion it is much superior to most home-made Wines.
It may, indeed, be considered a good stomachic, and, even
when taken diluted with water, will be found a safe and very
refreshing beverage.—l am, Gentlemen, your most obedient
servant, D. MACRORIE, M.D.
Duke-street, May 6, 1846.

IMPORTANT TESTIMONIAL.
Worcester, March 23; 1846.
Gentlemen,—l have tasted (conjointly with others conversant
with the qualities of Wines) your Imperial Green Ginger Wine.
I have also subjected it to Chemical Analysis. It is in our opi-
nion a GENUINE ARTICLE, but also as a home-made Wine, one
that may fairly compete with any beverage of similar preten-
sions. As a STOMACHIC? taken undiluted, it is warm and
wholesome, and diluted with water, or added to Lemonade, it
is a very salubrious and refreshing drink.—l remain, Gentle-
men, your most obedient servant, JONAS MALDEN.
