•Following The Examp Le Of St. Martin's ...
• Following the examp le of St . Martin ' s in the Fields , the ° h of ghoreditch has made an attempt , but unsuccessful to obtain power to raise a sum of 600 ? ., for the pur-»« of sending out pauper emigrants . It was urged by ? i AooTJonents of the movement , that the trustees already wp nower to spend 1000 Z . on emigrants ; and the propo-£ /« i defeated by an adverse majority of 79 to 2 , in favour of an adjournment . An important fact was stated at the last meeting of the TTarly Closing Association , by Mr . Lilwal , the secretary . rro / aid that at the corresponding period of last year they
were in debt to the extent of 3001 . ; but having since col-11 cted 4 QQI-, and Mr . Hitchcock having presented them with a similar sum , the result was that , after discharging tie demands upon them , they had a balance remaining of 500 Z . He had attended meetings at Leicester , Nottingham , Eeadinw Croydon , and at other places , and the consequence was that ' the cause had progressed very considerably in the country . In London a great advance had been made rlnrin ? the past year ; Shoolbred and Co . had arranged to
close their extensive establishments at seven o clock , mcludin" Saturday evening , and their example had been followed by establishments at Knightsbridge , Pimlico , and other places . One establishment in Soho-square was closed at half-past six o ' clock , and that example had been followed by Wilson and Swaile , Hanway-passage . A considerable advance had been made amongst the woollendrapers at Holbom and Blackfriars-road , and Mr . Peek , of Ludgate-hill , had agreed to close at six o ' clock . He referred to other cusps showing that there had been a gradual increase every
year of the early-closing houses . But his most important statement was this . " He called attention to the effect which the present desire for emigration must have on the movement . Before the emigration commenced it was impossible to say the young men were free agents ; but now there were more situations than young men to fill them , and if the present circumstances were properly . taken advantage of , they must tend to improve their position . " _ Sanitary reform is only in its infancy . The following verdict was returned by a jury which sat to consider the cause of the death of a young woman living in Duttonstreet , St . Pancras : — " That the deceased Maria Havhard , on the 23 rd day of September , did then and there die , and the jurors do say that the death of the said Maria Havhard was caused by the mortal effects of typhoid puerperal fever , produced by the unhealthy state of the atmosphere
of the house and locality in which she lived acting injuriously upon the impaired body and health of the said Maria Havhard . And the jurors express their regret that the nursing of th « deooaeod woman was imperfectly performed , and that an effort was not made by the friends of the deceased to procure the attendance of a parochial nurse . The jurors entertain an earnest hope that the vestry of the parish of St . Pancras will promptly exert the legal powers they have at their disposal , in order to improve the sanitary condition of different portions of the parish , and to prevent the occurrence of death from causes similar to those which have now called them together ; and the coroner is hereby respectfully but earnostly requested to eommunieato the above verdict and this appendix to the vestry of the parish of St . Pancras at his earliest opportunity . "

A Dutch engineer has invented a break which , it is said , will instantaneously stop a train . A new sugar-making process has been discovered , whereby the great saving of about sixty per cent , upon the old system can be effected . The inventor is a Mr . Bessemer , of Old St . Pancras-road . Great damage was done to the Tyne soap and alkali works at Newcastle by fire on Sunday . A fierce gale blew all night in the Irish Channel . Several wreckVtoqk place . The violence of the wind may be guessed when a steamer , which had put into Kingston harbour for shelter , was obliged to return to Dublin , in consequence of the tremendous roll of the sea .
Two houses fell down suddenly on Monday night , on the Seven Dials , and several persons were crushed in the ruins . Noble efforts were made to save the wounded ; and by these means seven persons were got out more or less hurt . It is supposed that the wall of one of the houses being higher fell on the roof of the other and forced out the walls . An outrigger boafy with four persons in her , came in contact with Putney-bridge on Sunday , and of course turned over . Three , who could swim , were saved ; and one , who could not , was drowned . This is another illustration of the risk of outriggers .
HEALTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK . Last week 1077 deaths were registered in the metropolitan districts . There is an increase on the return of the preceding week , when the number was 913 ; but this is chiefly due to coroners' cases , many , of which occurred at previous dates , but were not registered till the end of the quarter . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842-51 the average number of deaths was 1042 , which , with a correction for increase of population , becomes 1146 . Fatal cases produced by epidemic diseases amount in the present return to 271 , nearly the same as in the previous from measles at the
week . The mortality arising present time is unusually low , only two and five cases respectively having been registered in the last two weeks . Scarlatina , however , makes progress , as is shown by the steady increase of deaths referred to it since July ; the numbers during the last 8 weeks were : 38 , 47 , 49 , 51 , 53 , 58 , 67 , 83 . In a case that occurred at 14 , Dean's-place , Vauxhall-bridgeroad , the cause of death is entered thus : " malignant scarlatina ( 3 days ); imperfect drainage . " Diarrhoea , which continues to decline , was fatal last week to 61 children and 11 adults ; cholera ^ to 7 persons ; typhus , remittent fever , Ac , to 45 .
Last week the births of 847 boys and 793 girls , in all 1640 children , were registered in London . The average number in seven corresponding weeks of the years 1845-51 was 1360 . At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 * 873 in . The mean daily reading was above 30 in . on Wednesday , Thursday , Friday , and Saturday . The mean temperature of the week was 54-3 ° , the same as in the previous week . On Tuesday the mean daily temperature was only 49 ° , which is 6-9 ° below the average of tho same day in ten years . The wind was for the most part in the south-west .

Sattteday, September 25. The "Leader" An...
Sattteday , September 25 . THE " LEADER" AND THE RED REPUBLICAN " QUESTION . ( To the Editor of the Leader . ) September 24 , 1852 . Mr Dear Fkieitd , —A note in your first edition of this week calls upon me to make , a statement which I should gladly have waived , as I am opposed to the opinion that all newspaper writing should be signed , or that all writers should be held personally responsible for the work of their pens , when executed in concert with their colleagues . The rule which make- the editor responsible is quite sufficient . And I should not now speak , if my doing so could in the slightest degree discredit the friendship between us . WTien the conduct of the Leader passed into your hands , I notified my surrender of It in a ^ tter signed by my own name . That letter notified nwii form but a fact . Subsequently to that letter I have continued to serve you with my pen ; and I need not invite you to avow the cordiality which subsists among the staff around you . Combination is impossible unless personal distinctions of opinion be rendered subordinate to broader agreemeats of opinion ; and I have been proud to accept the conditions of a discipline which I have always found to be cheerfully and frankly obeyed when it was my duty to enforce it . In transferring the management to you I expressed the confidence I then felt-that the paper would be as efficiently guided by you as by myself , as zealously , and as usefully ; and my confidence has not been disappointed .
It is a personal accident , however , which in the present instance renders nay position somewhat different from that of the other writers on your staff , or from my own position on any other journal with which I have been connected . The strictures on the comments which were published in the Leader , on Red-Republican politics , have been mingled with suggestions that I myself , personally , have receded from opinions which I had formerly expressed . It is my rule never to defend myself ; and I should have thought it unnecessary to answer the personal allusions , if your answer to tho attack on the doctrine had not read like an admission that no answer was possible to the other portion of the attack .
My reason for speaking is this . It so happens that the politicians of the working class take a more lively interest than politicians of other classes in the personality of journalism , and your silence on the one part of strictures advanced against you , would by my friends of the working class be construed in such manner as to deprive me of their confidence . The number of those who honoured me with their confidence had already been diminished by the part I took in adhering- to a compact at Copenhagen-fields ; by my unreserved adhesion to u particular politicaf tenet , and by other
causes , the explanation of which would require rne to discuss the conduct of other men . I did not defend myself on any of those occasions , because as soon as a man becomes my accuser I cease to value his opinion ; and as soon as any mrm withdraws his trust from me on tho mere report of a third person I cease to covet his trust . But even n tacit falling off from doctrines which 1 hold would deservedly lose me the trust of the friends that still remain to inc . Lest want of explicitness should give rise to mistake , I will state the two points which appear to concern myself .
Some of Ihe loading men among French Socialists are also " Republicans : " with some of those men I sympathize most heartily . I dissent from the censure which the leader has passed upon them ; believing that it is not applicable cither to tho leaders of tho party whom I know , nor to the working men who camo out to defend with their blood the Republic compromised by tho " Moderate" Itepublicsinn , and who were /
slaughtered by the aoldiery of those Moderate Republicans . That i / onr opinion is founded on your own personal knowledge I know ; that you havo not formed if , hastily I also know ; thai , the utterance of your opinion was ina . de under the Htrong compulsion of conscience I . am equally aware ; and I perfectly approve of your avowal . Hut , if , must not puss for the avowal of my Nent . inienfs among those who have reason to believe that I hold other sentiments .
Seeing t . hat ; fom > is nso < l nof , less now Mian in old times , by particular classes , very limited in numbers , f . o keep down ( he peoples of tturope , I hold thai , those pcoplvs will not bo free , until I hey arquiro ( he generous courage l , o lake arms on their own wide , and , sdlinpf ( heir numbers Hguinsl , the skill of the mercenary troops in the lmy of their Kiil > jugalorn , conquer JtWco by lbrcui
