Hitherto that metal . has been considered to be confined to a very
limited quarter , ^ capable ¦' of very email extension , and Spread ovet ft , very small portion of the globe ; but suddenlyy to the astonishment of the world , from various distant regions , at one and the same iimey it ispbliring in upon us with , a profusion that is astonishing all ranks and afi classes , the effect of which , it is difficult to foresee , ; but of which it is not difficult to say that it must work strange and extraordinary revolutions in the system of society ( Loud Cries of ' ¦ '¦"¦ Hear ;?

Lord Derby's Conference With The Slnmry ...
LORD DERBY'S CONFERENCE WITH THE SlNmRY ISEFOBMEB ^ : A numbeh of gentlemen , depnted by the Sanitary Reform Association , had an interview with Lord Derby on Wednesday . The party , headed by the Bishop of London , comprised the Rev . Dr . Cumming , the Rev . C . Hume , Mr . B . Bdnd Cabbeli , M . P ., Mr . T , Abraham ; Dr . W . EC . Brown ; Mr . Wm . Rogers , Mr . R pi . Mqllandj Mi- - George Godwin , F . R . S ., Mr . W . I >^ JBruce , F . S . A ; , Mp . iiouis Hume , Mr . John W . Smitb , Dr * Gavin Milroy , Mr . C . F . J . Lord , Mr . Robert Fox , Mr . H , Egberts / F ^ S . Ai , Mr . F- 0 . Ward , with the Rev . M . W . Lusigrian , M ^ A ., Mr . A . Barnett , M . B ., and Mr . H . IT ^ alsh , honorary secretaries . Lord Joba Manners was with the Premier . The members of the deputation ; were introduced by the BisTiop of London , and they were received by Lord Derb y with marked courtesy . Several of them then delivered the statements of tleir case , to ^ ^ the follbwing effect :- ^ - The Bishop of LoiTDOiir said that he did not propose to trespass at any length upon his Lordship ' s time , as there were several gentlemen present who would lay before him : the different subjects to which the Metropolitan Sanitary Association desired the attention of the Government to h 0 directed ; bnt he must be permitted especially to convey to bis Lordship the deep anxiety be felt with reference * to tlie delay that had occurred in carryin g into effect the-Metrbpolitett Interments Act . Connected aa he was with the metropolis , and representing , as on this subject he felt lie did , the opinions of the clergy , he wasdesirpus of urgbag upontne Q-oTernment the imperative necessity of sonlethtng being at once done to remed y the evils so fully adtnitted and loudly cotriplaraed of . Jfoom the reports and minutes of correspemdence which had emanated from tbeBoard of Health , it appeared that the principal difficulty which , prevented
the * Interments . Act being carried into operation was , tlrat thatfboay noti "Beir ig of a permanent character , capitalists were unwilling to advance money , considering tho security insufficient ; so -that thougb . companies wero willing to advance the necessary funds for carrying the act into execution ; a tecbhical difficulty was discovered . He would on this occasion , therefore , urge upon bis Lordship to take immediate steps to put an end to the present system of intramural interments which reflected disgrace upon tho mefaropolis . During the past year 40 , 000 bodies had been interred in the same graveyards , wbicb eight . Or ten years ago were found to be filled to overflowing . The public had long been expecting that a discontinuance should be put to a system which was not only dangerous to health , but opposed to all decency . He did , therefore , hope that her Majesty ' s Government would direct earnest and immediate attention to this most important subject .
The Bishop then pointed out the present impure and insufficient state of tho water supply to the metropolis , and the exorbitant rates charged for such an essential element of life , whilst it had been shown that it might be supp lied at a cost which would render to all s a constant , unlimited supply at 2 d . per house per week . Mr . Lonp observed that the memorial now lying before him stated that the death-rate of London was 26 per thousand per annum , or double the attainable minimum of mortality as established by the Registrar-General . That this needless rate of excessive mortality implies a proportionate excess of disease , and a corresponding depression of the public health . That this high rate of avoidable death bore directly on the Nuisances ltomoval and Disease
Preyontion Act , wlnoh the Association felt to require some alteration to render it permanent in its operation and effective in its machinery , so that the measure may operate effectually against ordinary and domestic , ns well as against extraordinary or foreign pestilonces . It is shown that the direct cost of , and estimated money lbsst through , typhus fever alono in tho metropolis amounted during the years 1843 to 1847 to 1 , 828 , 000 ^ ., or 265 , 600 ? . annually . Tliis sum is exclusive of tho amounts contributed for the purohase and maintenance of fever hospitals . For , in 1848 , whon tho mortality from typhus hod increased to 3669 , tho direct coat and money loss was estimated at 440 , 0 ( XM , Mr . Lord specially drew attention to the largo class , of
provontible disease Which was still allowed to scourgo the holploss poor and infeot socioty at large , and he quoted tho following from tho Bogiatrar-Genoral ' s remarks on tho sad mortality ftt Albion-terraco , Wands worth : — ¦ " No median ! polioo had interfered to disturb the oontents of Mr . Biddle ' B celfnre , and now , when the nineteen—masters , Borvimta , parents , iind children—who perished during tho late epidemic , at Albion-terraco , Wandsworth-rood . roatintlielrffravos , it appoars to ba tajcon for granted that blamo uttabhen to nobody , to nothing—neither to tho householders thomselvosnor to thp guardians of the district—nor to tho institutions of Uio inanimate
oouiury . r >« ou moan inatrumenta of aeatn onn ho invofttod with iu > dramatic interent ; but iixing our ey-tm oa tho riotima , it w well worth considering whether eubstnutiiUJy it ia . not as muoli a part of tho sound polioy of tho country that livos-liko those ill Albion-terr ^ co elioiild bo eavod , as that thd murderers of a man in Bermcmdaey should ho hanged . " Numoroua oasoa were datly coming under tho obaorva * tion of medical men winch suggosted similar roflootlonfl . Mr . Lord added that the Association were in earnest j « the expression of their opinion that to one body or class . of officers alono should bo committed tho execution of thft Nuisanoea Eomovol Act in each district , so that the responflibUity should be real and not appftren ^ as at pteaexk ^
