f _ _B __^_^_ 1 __ m ______ Wm m ma ~ mmm ~ m mt ' THE STANFIELD HALL MURDERS . _TUBTHEB _JXAJiTKATION OF RU 6 H . Norwich , Tuesday . — Yesterday , James _JSIorafield Rush , the suspected assassin of Mr Isaac Jermy and his _<* _an , at Stanfield Hall , underwent another magisterial _examination at tbe Castle of this city . The magistrates present were the Rev-Edward P-ostle , of Telverton ; Sir J . P . Boiieaa , of _Eetteringhara Hall ; and the Rev . C . A . Woodbouse ; Hr J . S . C & nn , of Wymondham , being the clerk to the bench . This unexpected examination teok place in order that the prisoner ( Ru-h ) might hear the additional statement which Emily Sandford had made at the last meeting of the coroner ' s jary , and which had not been taken in the evidence sworn before the magistrates on the _ocjasiou of their fully committing him for trial .
On Rush being brought forward by Mr Pmson _, the _f overaor of Norwich _CaBtle , the prisoner ' s unhappy dupe , Emily Sandford , was introduced by Mrs Bryant , tbe matron of Wymondham Bridewell , in whose custody she still remains . Having been duly Bworff , she went into a more lengthened detail of the prisoner's condnot on the night of the murder than-ehe gave before the coroner . She minutely described his coming to her bed-room door on ihe night of the murder , and his gently knocking for admission ; that on his entering he leant against hrr _bzd ,
snd she . perceiving hu violent trembling and agitated state , inquired of him 'Good God , what is that matter V That he told her sha must be firm , and if any one asked her how long he had been out . to gay that he had not been more tban ten minutes away . Tbat she again asked him what was the matter , and thathe replied , * Nothing ; bnt you may hear of something in ih * morning . ' AH these facts were redHced to writing , and others which tended to show the intimidation he evidently held out to the nnfortnnate creature net to divulge his movement ? .
Rush ' s reamer towards the witness on tbis occasion wai cal _* a , and contrasted strongly with his violent behaviour towards her on her former exami * natior . The search for the weapons with which the witnesses are peiitive the murders were committed , still excites the greatest attention . In an official letter tbo search ia thus described : — 'The Potash Farm is no longer ia t _*> e actual posses-ion of the . police ; one man is , however , still kept open the premises . To discover the pistols , twenty pit * have been - pumped out , and every particle of mud removed from them : had a pencil' case baen at the bottom , it must inevitably have been found . The fences and ditches have in like manner been cnt
down and drained oat—every rabbit or rat hole has been probed to the bottom—forze and other bushes grabbed np—muck heaps , turnip heaps , mangel wnrz 3 l heipa removed—turnip fields most _minuttlc examined—plou _. hed lands peforated with heavy crow-bars—grass _fields pierced with iron spears having a * row p _^ ots , so that no loose sod coold by possibility avoid detect ; 03 . To test the labourers and policemen _employed in thia labour , pieces of tarf were cut out indifferent parts ofthe field * in which they were placed , and replaced , go as to be impossible to be discovered on one most minute inspection . They were all found and brought on the points of the bathed arrow on which they were pulled up . In the house , fire places , hearths , floor * , have been removed , chimneys examined , house carpenters and masons employed in every part . Only one stack has been removed ; but each remaining ene will
undergo the like examination , whenever it may be required in the barn for thrashing . The fieli at the back of the garden has been completely dug np from one end to the other . Every tree in the park baa been moaated and minutely examined . In fact , Buch a search I really believe was never made before . Not that the evidence of the pistols is new at all necessary , in my humble opinion , but to satisfy the public mind , and tbe country in general . ' Several interesting facts have _bsen collected by Michael Haydon , a shrewd officer ef the London ( City ) detective police force , which will tend to establish a strong chain of evidence in support of the prosecution . It is not the intention of the authorities to apply for a special commission to try the accused . Mrs Jermy , and the maid , Eliza Chestney , are progressing favourably . As soon as practicable . it is the intention to remove Mra Jermy to London .
A Pabachtjtjs Fob. Coai.Ri.Ts.—To Descen...
A Pabachtjtjs fob . CoAi . ri . Ts . —To descend into mines . and coal-pits , and to ascend by means of vertical ladders , are operations so fatiguing tbat the Belgian pitmen prefer , in spite of the regulations which / forbid it , to expose their lives to the risk of the strength of a rope , which , unfortunately , often breaks and precipitates them to the bottom . We ( Brussels Herald ) attended last Wednesday , an experiment on a large scale , which demonstrated in the most efficient manner , that henceforth this danger . no longer exists for the pitmen . By means of an extremely simple apparatus , the cuffat remains suspended in the middle of the shaft when the rope breaks . This trial was not made b y means of a working model , bnt in a pit of some depth ; the apparatus was worked by men who remained suspended in the well when the rope broke short
off-For the future the parachute for coal-pits is no longer a theory ; its efficacy is now established by practical facts . The effect of this apparatus was shown before a numerous company , comprised of men of information , the greater part familiar with the working of mines . Their satisfaction was so great that tbey spontaneously offered to the inventor to make affidavit on the spot of the facts to which they had been witnesses . Amongst the party was a gentleman who wished the experiment to be tried upon himself ; the rope having snapped he and the workmen accompanying him were spontaneously stayed' withont feeling the slightest shock . We shall not fail to acquaint our readers of the new applications which will not fail to be made of tbis invention , doubly interesting , whether looked upon in a humane point of view or as a matter oi economy i a the working ot mines . ¦
The British Museum . —On Monday last tne British Museum -was re-opened to the public ; it will continue open on Mondays , Wednesdays , and _fridaya _, without intermission , between the hours ef ten and fonr , until the 1 st of May , and will be then closed till the 7 th , when , on _re-openirg , the hours will be extended from ten till seven . The new building , with the exception ofthe addition to the Gallery of Antiquities , erecting in lieu of the Townl y Gallery , is complete , and earl y in the ensuing month of February the last remaining portion of Old Montague Home , fronting Great Russell Street , will be * removed .

CHOLERA- AMONGST THE PAUPER CHILDREN AT TOOTING . The following official report ef the state of the juvenile pauper asylum at Tooting was on Taesday night forwarded to the various boards of guardians who have children in tbat institution : —Surrey Hall , Lower Tooting . Jan . 9 . 1349 , 6 p . m . —I have toreport respecting the cholera cases here that the number of fresh ones are on the decrease , and that these do not present the very severe _symptons tbat the first cases did . We have had fourteen new cases of children attacked with oholera _symplons , eleven with diarrhee * . only . The number of deaths frora cholera in the twenty-four hours have amounted to sixteen . Tfae rest have been removed to the convalescent wards . From the numbers that have boen
removed altogether , we hope tbat of the few remaining a very small number will be attacked with the disorder . Howards of one hundred have been removed from Tooting belonging to the Strand Union . Ths chloroform waB administered last night and today by inhalation with very good effect in more than one case . —( Sinned ) W . J . Kim , eurgeon , & c . ' It iB generally considered that this return from Mr Kite , so far from showing that there ia any actual diminution in the number of attacks * and fatality of the dieease _, the contrary is the _cs _<* e , wben the diminished numbers now in the asylum are taken into _eonsidertion , nearly 1 , 009 children having been removed .
Stbavd Ukion . —The guardians of the Strand Union b _?> ve hired for three _montbs the premises of 'he Society ofthe Refuge forthe Destitute in Ogle vStreet , Marylebone , and have removed to that place their pauper children heretofore resident at Tooting . Sx Pahoba . 8 . —A meeting of the direotors of the _ooor of St Pancras took place on Tuesday , when a report from a committee appointed to visit the establishment al Tooting was read . The following rep ort was a so read from Mr Bird , a medical gentleman , specially appointed by the board to attend the St Pancras ohildren since their removal , ' To the directors of the poor of St Pancras —Gentlemen , — At your solicitation I havo undertaken the medical _euperintendance of the children recently brought
home from Mr Drouet ' s establishment at Tooting , where Asiatio eholera had made its appearance , end received about 200 children on Saturday last . Two were taken ill as soon as admitted . Acting npon the principle 'that prevention is better than cure , ' I carefully examined each of them , and administered appropriate medioine to all . I visited and watched every child in their beds every half honr during the night ; and although many of both sexes were relaxed , I had no cases tbat exceeded the premonitory symptoms , whieh counter-irritation with calomel and opium checked , and every ohild arose on Snnday morning apparently in good health , and made a most hearty breakfast of bread and milk . I maat say , in justice to Mr Drouet , aa far as an observer conld
have judged , the children generally looked well and in good condition . Unfortunately this state of things did not oontinoe . They were evidently predisoosed to the epidemic , and ten were attacked . Boiled mutton and bread was given to each child for dinner , and they appeared cheerful , hearty , and thankful for the attention bestowed by all parties , ln the afternoon , tea more eases occurred . Soma of those that were in a state of collapse , seemed improving _. On the night of Sunday , aboat thirty were more or less attacked , leaving about fifteen of each sex under treatment . During ths whole of Monday only one oase occurred up to eleven o ' clock at night , and I was greatly io _bopea that I shonld have been able to report this day ( Taesday ) most favonrably ,
butBeventeen were attacked during the night , and three have reached the state of collapse , notwithstanding every attention on the part of Mr Wilkinson , bis assistant , and myself , leaving tha statistical account at present asunder : —Number attacked , 67 ; deatbs . _'G ; nnder treatment , 27 ; state of collapse , 4 . I cannot close this report without bearing my humble testimony to the prompt , ready , and _efficient assistance rendered to me and bestowed upon the children by Mr and Mrs Eaton , and all parties acting under my directions , aa well as making mention of the unlimited power yon yourselves have plaeed in my hands , to endeavour to allay this melancholy affair . —( Signed ) _Hmi Bird ,
Surgeon . Chelsea . —On Tuesday an adjourned special meeting oi the guardians took place , when Mr Jelf Baid he thought that the children ought not to be removed , but at the same time he thought it was tha duty of the guardians to Bend farther medical assistance down to Tooting . —He therefore moved a resolution to the effect that it would not be expedient to _remove the children . —Mr Eyre seconded the resolution , which was oarried _unanimou-ly . It was then moved and carried that a commnrication Bhould be made to Mr Drouet to know if he wqnired any fur . her medical aid , or aid in the ibape of nurses , and if ao that the board would supply them .
THE DEATHS IN THE TOOTING PAUPER ESTABLISHMENT . Coroksr _s Ik que _vr . —Several of the children belonging to the Union of St Andrew ' s , Holborn , were removed from the Infant Pauper Establishment at Tooting on Friday last , some of whom have died of cholera in the Royal Free Hospital , Gray ' s Inn Lane . It appears that the deaths among the children brought- to that institution amounted to four . —The names and ages of the ohildren are—James Andrews , aged six ; Jeannette Johnson , aged eleven ; Bridget _Qainaged five ; and Michael
Har-, per , aged _niae years , —For a period of about fifteen _montba the guardians of the _Hilbora "Union bave had , upon an average , 198 pauper ohildren in Mr Drouet ' s establishment , at a weekly cest of 4 s . 6 d . per head . As soon as the cholera was reported to have mads its appearance in the establishment , the _guirdiaEB directed one of their medical officers to repair to _Tosting and report upon the state aud condition of the children . This was done , and on Thursday this report was made , and it was of suoh a character as to lead the guardians immediately to _remove the whole of the _cbildcea—QQi into the
¦¦—^M—M^M-M— M——«^— . . ¦ The Cholera. T...
workhouse , for there they had no reom—but into two unoccupied wings of tbe Royal Free Hospital , whioh bad been _offered to them , until some permanent place could be provided . The removal was effeo ' edin vans , under tbe superintendence of the clerk and one of the medioal officers of the union , on Friday week , the girls arriving at six in the eveningand the boys later , that is at half-past ten . The . to ' al number removed was 152 . It waB fonnd _neoen sary to leave about forty still in the establishment , at Tooting , beoause their removal conld not be tffect ? d without danger , and eight had previously died . Oa arriving at the hospital , the whole of the 152 , who had been pronounced healthy , were served vrith a substantial meal of milk and b _.-ead . They we e alsi _medioallyinseected _. and 135 were found to be
infested with the itoh . Although pronounced well , Bev ral of the children , both bojs and girls , were _taken ill , tha symptoms being similar to those observed at Tooting . Andrews , who waa _fir-Bt seized , died on Saturday forenoon ; Johnson the same afternoon ; Quin expired on Sunday morning , and Harper on Monday morning about one o ' olock . At a late hour on Monday , the others who had been seized we ' re going on well , and no more fatal cases were expected . —The guardians oauied information of the deaths to be made to Mr Wekley , M _. P _., Coroner , and the inquest was appointed to be held the same day , at the Royal Free Hospital . Mr Wakley . however , was not present , being seriously indisposed , aod Mr Mills , the Deputy Coroner , presided in his absence . —After the Jury had been sworn
they proceeded to view the bodies , which severally presented a most distressing appearance . Those of Andrews and Johnson appeared to have undergone a post mortem examination . —The Deputy Coroner , upon tbe return of the Jury , briefly addressed tbem upon the nature of their duties in this important investigation . He stated that none of the bodies ought to have been opened without an order from the Coroner , who bad resolved that the strictest inquiry should be made into the causes of death , unless the gentlemen by whom the examination bad bien made were not awara of the intention te bold an inquest . With the view of affording time-to
prepare the neoessary evidence , it will be requisite to adjourn the inquest to a future day , when the Coroner himself would be present . The'Jury must have observed that the bodies were comparatively thin , feeble , and poor . These conditions might arise from a variety of causes , and he wonld recommend the Jury to be guided in their conclusions only by the evidence whioh would be brought before them . — Three nurses tben gave formal evidence of the deaths ; after wbich the inquest was adjourned — Instructions were given for an examination to be made of the bodies of Harper and Quin ; and Dr Goddard , of Harley Street , waa directed to be present on the part of the Coroner ,
On Friday morning an inquest , adjonrned from Monday last , was resumed by Mr Wakley , M . P ., at the Royal Free Hospital , Gray ' s Inn Road , on the bodies of Johanna _Joh'son , aged II ; Bridget Quin , 5 ; James Andrews , 6 ; and Michael Harper , 9 , children belonging to the Holborn Union , who had been inmates of Drouett ' _a Pauper Establishment , at Tooting . The deceased , along with a number oi other ohildren belonging to the Holborn Union , had been removed from Tooting to the Royal Free Hospital ( where accommodation was provided for them ) , in consequence of the fatal _epidemic whioh had broken out in Mr Drouett ' a establishment , and were seized with illness soon after their arrival at the hospital .
Tbe proceedings exoited considerable interest . Mr Drouett had received notice of the inquest , but was not prasest . The prinoipal witness was Mr R D Grainger , who gave a lengtbv report to the General Board of Health . The treatment theee orphan pauper children received at thia establishment will bs best explained by the following extract from Mr Grainger ' s report :- _» ' I first entered those on the female side , when I waB _Btrook by a sense of the extreme closeness , oppression , and foulness of the air , far exceeding in _ofienoiveneBS anything that I have ever yet witnessed in apartments , in hospitals , or elsewhere , occupied by the sick . There was especially , in the highest degree , that peculiar and sickening tmell familiar to all who are acquainted with close , unventilated , aad heated
rooms overcrowded with children . The rooms were crowded with beds , utterly disproportioned in number to the space allotted to them . In a room , for example , sixteen feet long , twelve feet wide , and less tban eight feet high , there were five beds ocoupied by e ' even ohildren , all ill with cholera . In another room of the aame dimensions , there were four beds with fourteen cholera patients , of whom four were in one bed , and tbree in each ofthe others . In a third room eighteen feet long , sixteen feet wide , and eight feet high , there wera nine beds with sixteen children in cholera , two ofthe beds having tbree patients in eaoh ; a circumstance which I observed likewise ia other wards . The lighting and ventilation of the whole of these wards was totally _insafficient .
' On tbe boys' side there was a room containing eighteen beds nearly touching eaoh other , in which were thirty-five bays ill with cholera ; twenty-five bring in bed ( two in each bed ) , and ten Bitting round the fie , being _osnvalescent . One boy had just died on my entrance . Iu this ward , which ia an example of the arrangement of all the main bnildinga of thia establishment , there were windows only 6 u one aide —a construction total _l y incompatible With a due supply of light and air . ' On the girls' side I fonnd only one regular nnrse , who was passing in and ont to attend to the children in several wards ; and on the boys' side , in the room above described , containing thirty-five patients , there was only one nnrse ( a man ) in attendance . ' To those who are acquainted with tho _nattira of cholera , with the vio'ent and most sudden evacuations both by vomiting and purging , it is needless to pomt ont the utter inefficiency of auch attendance _.
' I found that the children were continually vomiting in the beds and on the floor , aud that consequently the sheets , bedding , and floor were covered with the _discharges ; that no efficient aid wai in a single case afforded to those suffering children ; that some of them were getting out of bed ; and tbat al ] needed , not only for decenoy and comfort but for actual safety , that careful and watchful attention which cholera patients in the stage of collapse eo urgently demand . ' The _varieuB appliances found in all properly
regulated institutions for administering relief to patients Buffering under cholera , and especially for applying continued heat td the surface of the body — a point deemed by all authorities to ba one of the moBt essential means for the treatment of collapse—were either totally or quite inadequate . 'In passing through the girls ' cholera rooms'I observed some small apartments containing unoccupied beds ; and on inquiring why _those were not UBed , in order immediately to relieve the over crowded beds , I was informed that they were unprovided with fireplaces , or other means ef beating . '
At the conclusion of Mr Grainger ' s evidence the inquiry was adjourned to Tuesday . It was stated in the course of the proceedings that one hew case of cholera had occurred among the ohildren in the Free Hospital on Thursday morning , bat that there had been no new case today { Friday ) , We propose giving full particulars of this iuquirj next week .

PancrioE , aged 28 , a Greek Bailor , who waa killed on Thursday week by falling from a carriage on the Blackwall Railway , owing ( it was alleged ) to the carriage door not being properly fastened . From the evidence of Juan De Kaltisani and ethero , countrymen ofthe deceased , it appeared that on the arrival of the quarter-past eleven o ' clock down train at the Minories station of the _Blaokwall Railway , tho deceased and several others got into a seoosd * class compartment of the Poplar carriage . The door was
closed after them , andthe guard stated most positively that he properly fastened it ; on the other hand , the deceased ' s countrymen who were ia the carriage allege otherwise , for on tbe train passing the Gun Lane Bridge , between the Limehouse and West India Dock stations , the deceased placed his right elbew on the top of the carriage door . He had no sooner done so , than the door flew open , and tho deceased fell out of the carrh ge headforemoat , on to some iron railway plates , which were lying on the side of the line , with such violenoe as to shatter his Bknlltp atoms , and the wheelaofa carriage _paseed CT _w-T * B , utllatin l" * * n _aBhocking manner . —Mr _Wigatmau _, on behalf of fee _company , produced

F « B 8 IN BMHHU . GB s-H-.-On Saturday last , two fires broke out in the parish of Bethnal Green , b _* th attended with a considerable destruction of property . The first occurred upon the premises of Mr Lon g _, cabinetmaker . Church Street . The flames origi - nated in the workshops at the rear of the dwellinghouse _, and on tke arrival of the eng > ues , not only tke entire range of workshops and all they contained were found in flames , but tbe fire had penetrated the back windows of . Mr Long ' s private house , and the greater part of the furniture was in a blaee . Before work
the fire was _extinguished , Mr Long's shops were totally destroyed , the back _wiadow-aasaes of tbe dwelling burned out . and the furniture much damaged . —The second fire broke ont at neoa in a large store , about sixty feet long , _belonging to Mr Phillips , a _onra-chandler , in Anne Street , Po lard ' s Row . The buil ding was filled with hay , and very speedily the place was en fire from end to end . The flames were , however , confined to that portion of the property in whioh they originated , aud which was entirely burned down . Mr Phillips was not insured , and will be a serious loser .
Imhoman Tbeaimehi cf a Convict . — . On Tuesday morning . Mr Bedford , tho oaroner , held an inquest at Milibank prison upon the body of John Sherry , a tailor , who died in the infirmary of the above prison , u pon Sunday last under the following circumstances : _Mr'Foriter , the deputy-governor of the prison , deposed that deeeased was received at half past six o'clock oa the morning ofthe 3 d instant , from Liverpool Borough Gaol , under sentence of ten years ' transportation ; but upon examination by Dr Baly , he was rejected as unfit for transportation , having lost his right leg . He appeared to be in good health otherwise , and was tolerably cheerful when admitted . Jameson and Stockwell , the reception warders , proved that they reoeived him and nineteen others from a
van upon the morning in question . At a quarter paBt one the _following dav , deceased _oomplained mnoh of cold and Bhivering . Information of the fact was immediately conveyed to Mr Rondell , the resident surgeon . Dr William Baly , _physioian to the priBon , was thea called . He stated tbat he found deceased suffering from very severe inflammation of several of tbe air tubes of tbe lungs , producing the disease known as acute bronobitip , of which he died . In answer to questions which witness bad pat to deceased , he stated that he had travelled from Liverpool on tbe night of the Snd , in a carriage , open at the top , and that he had suffered most severely from intense cold upon the journey , and that he attributed his attack to the oold whioh he then suffered . The
disease of which he died would result trom exposure to great cold , and no doubt did result from such exposure . A juror expressed a wish to know what clothes the deceased wore during the journey , and they were accordingly produced . They _consisted of a pair of thin and tattered trousers , without lining or drawers , a short jaoket , and a miserable waistcoat . The shirt had no back , and was a mass of rags . He had no flannel or other covering'to bis body of any deBoription whatever . —Henry Smith , a prisoner _, who had travelled ud from Liverpool with the deceased , called and _examined . I knew the deceased , having been confined with him two months in Liverpool gaol . We left Liverpool between seven and eight o ' clock on the evening of Tuesday , and were
ten hours upoa the road . The van in whioh we oame had a sore of open wire lattice work at the top , with spaces of about an inch and a half square between each crossing of the iron-work . There were occasional crossings of timber , so that the top was about half open wire-work and the other half wooden beams . Tbe wire-work was close to our heads , and the wind came in very much . We had our own clothes on , and a small rug about large enough to cover a truckle bed intended for one person . There were not rugs enough for us all . Before leaving Liverpool , about half-past four in the evening , we had some gruel and bread to eat . We had nothing else until we arrived here , excepting once upon the journey , about twelve o ' clock at night , when we had two small
biscuits and butter and a glass of whiskey eaoh . 1 believe the van belonged to the gaol and not to the railway company . —Dc Baly , in answer to questions from the coroner , said that the clothing was _notsufhcient to make the journey safe . One female prisoner who travelled to London in the same van has been suffering from a severe cold , which wonld be likely to be produced by the same cause . —The coroner summed up at considerable length , and the jnry found , ' That the deoeased , John Sherry , died from acute bronchitis , _accelerated by the severe cold ex _paiienced during a journey by night from Liverpool in a van not sufficiently _protected frcm the weather . ' Thejury further recommended that in future these vans should be better protected .
Extbwsivjs Sbizobb o _* Imicit Spirits . —On Saturday night , about ten o ' clock ,, a seizure ef spirit * still , andthe usual apparatus for oarrying on a very extensive trade in illicit distillation , was effected by a Custom House officer named George _George , who is now stationed at the West India Docks . From information George received , he proceeded with three police constables , all well armed with pistols and cutlasses , to the house No 22 , Catherine Street , Limehouse Fields . Two of the constables were stationed in front of the house , while George and the other constable entered the adjoining house and proceeded to the baok of the premises . The smell of
spirits was very strong , and it was evident that a still was in full operation . George found upwards of _SOOlbB of salt , soap , and the _necessary apparatus for oarryine en a very extensive trade in illicit distillation . There was also found in tbe ssme room 800 gallonB of waBh , in a state of fermentation , and several bladders , whioh had contained illicit spirits . A man and two females were the only persons found in the houte . and when questioned , they said their name waB Cotterell , and that tbey were only lodgers in the houso , They were quite ignorant of the still being in the kitchen . George seized the still , spirits , and all the utensils , and conveyed them to Broad Street .
Inquest on _ietb Body op Mb Stephenson , the Portrait Painter . —The adjourned inquest waa resumed on Mrnday , when Mr Noad _, the chemical lecturer of St George ' s Hospital , gave evidenoe as to the contents found in the stomach of the deceased , and the jury returned a verdict of 'Natural death . ' The deceased gentleman has left a widow and several children _. Gold Mines or California . — -Four companies are already formed in London for sharing in the riches discovered to lie in abundance in California .
_PiiOuoa Mohday . —Monday laBt being Plough Monday a petty session was held in the Guildhall , by the Lord Mayor and Aldermen for the purpose of receiving the returns and presentments of the several wards;—Mr Godson , foreman of tbe inquest fer _Aldersgate ward , eampl & ined of a _moet intolerable _nuisanoe which proceeded from a whalebone manufactory- The nuisance was not visible , but closely embedded in the heart of the ward , and the effeot upon the organs of smelling was altogether beyond _description . Added to that , he stated that Borne dis orderly houses of the worst kind were ina state of
constant offence , and _Aldersgate Buildings needed thfl operation of draining so much that it would be difficult to find in tbe City of London & neighbourhood in which sanitary regulations were more necessvy . Alderman _Challisexpressed surprise that the Alderman ofthe ward had not represented the mat ters of complaint in the Court of Aldermen . —Mr QodeoD , who is ona of the deputies ofthe ward , said thit Sir Peter Laurie had complained of the nuisance by which the inhabitants were almost poisoned , but the evil remained uncorrected . —The Lord Mayor assured the deputy that the Court of Aldermen would eke np the subjeot with all possible expedition .

meeting , but , at the same time , thought that something of a more extensive bind shoald be adopted , Individual _esertion was not Bu'ffi ; Uat , however well loteatloned . We wanted means , and the way te obtain them was by a reduction of expenditure . Let the Army , Navy , and Ordnanoe estimate * be reduced , ai well as other public establishments . ( Loud cheers . ) He feared he was too _politic-l tor some , but it . ' was bis vocation ; and it must not be _forgottea that a vast quan » tity of the people had come te the conclusion that a great hangd was a neoessary prelude to any soeial change—{ . ond cheers )—and when this took place , men would 1 _BJBtto the Haass of Commons who could understand
tso wants and sympathise with tbe _condition of the poor ( Laud cheers . ) Ur Lughlngton concluded by _movlsg tbe _resolution plaoed in bis band , in approbation of the Lel « cester Sq-jare Soup Kitchen aad Mount Saint Bernard Hospice . I This resolution was seconded by Tho Rev . _SiUOEL _Johes , In a _sp'eoh replete with aboBB of * Levellers , ' ' _Comraunhtt , ' and ' Rsd Republicans , ' interlarded with loripture , but the indignation of the meeting , soon brought the Rav . gentleman ' s peroration to a full etop .
Ur Hcao . it' contended , that ( he people shoald bt firat fed and then legislated for . He was for placing taxation on the _right ahoulderp , _namoly , that of property —( loud cheers)—snd depend on it they would soon become Financial Reformers . ( Hear . ) He paid a high compliment to the British people , sb the most industrious and orderly In the _. world , ( repeated cheers ); the ; deserved their rights , end must soeu have thorn , Indeed they would aot be men if they did not ; what they contended for was , employment _jjfor the poor , and rights for all . ( Much applause . )
Mr _AiEiANDEa Caupbell congratulated the people on having a meeting convened for suoh a parpose . He was sorry to hear a reverend gentleman _iaaineate that tbe working people were desirous of _approptl » Mng tho property of others . On tbe part of tba _Indnetrlans classes he repudiated snoh a doctrine . No ; all they ashed wa » employment , that they might create more wealth ef which they might become partakers . ( Loud cheers . ) Dot this they were denied , as the land was locked up from them . Mr C * mpbell here rsad frem the' Trades ' statement , as presented to the House of Commons by Lord Ashley , tho number of unemployed operatives , and the quantity of uncultivated lands in Eagland , and said , things had now become worse ; there might be a calm for a time , but-there was a point beyond _endu . ranee , ( Tremendous _oheerlog . ) Statistics showed him tbst tbere were between three aod four millions
of people In Great Britain alone , living * oa charity , or being fed from poor-rates — yet the land of England alone would yield support to one hundred and twenty million souls , but it was looked up- —and , turning te Mr _Loshington , he said , ' Sir , I hope yon will tell your friends in the haute , that there oan be no Free Trade while these things are so . ' ( Great applause . ) Mr Campbell prooeeded to commend self-supporting' Home Colonies' as a national remedy for the national evil—want of employment . ( Lead cheers . ) He did BOt objeot to Mr Oobd-n , or any other _finanolsl re . former , he believe ! Mr Cobden was honest , and woutd teach some where _. the shoe pinched , but tinkering was of no use , the system itself wat radically wrang . There were fifteen million acres ef land alone in an uncultivated state . Then , wby not cultivate them , and employ the people t Ay , evea at the expense of government , funds could be raised to build prisons , to imprison those persons rendered criminal by their own criminal system , ( Great applause . )
Mr S . Kico in rising , was received with immense applause . He said , pauperism had existed from the time of EK-ubeth , down to that of _Victoria , and he did not tnink it conld be got rid of in a day , a month , or a year—he had no objeotion to soup kitchens or street sweeping—better give a man sonp than let him starvebetter let bim b _» usefully employed in cleansing tbe streets , than be a useless burden on sooiety . Mr Camp _, bell bad commended to their notice Home Colonies , ' he agreed with them in prinoiple , but he ( Mr Campbell )
bad asked what objection could Parliament have to sanction a bill for their adoption 1 Wby were not tbe gentlemen who composed the Parliament men ef rank ! Had they not paBBed and adhered to the New Poor Liif ? The gentleman who so ably presided orer this meeting had told them that in his parish of Saint James's , they bad au anomaly—namely , a number of very rich and a number of * ery poor men—and ha ( Mr Kydd ) wonld very much like to know who waa to compel those rioh men to support the poor , seeing that the _wooing olasses had no voioe in making the law . Did not
' Lawgrlad the poor , and rioh men mako tbo law V We bave heard muoh of revolutions oa the Continent . _Poverty was the great revolutionist , and it was impossible tbat things could remain as they are for ever . Jews had gotten rioh out of our industry—nay , mere , these fsies had made nations rich , whilst Britain ' s own people were the veriest slaves on the face ef tbe earth , The question of Labour was tbe great question ofthe day , and he was for having it fully _disoussed , not en the principle of the Rev , Mr Jones— ' _Lsarn nothing from a Chartist ; ' bnt on the principle of * Hear all things , and hold fast by that which le good . ' Mr Kydd resumed hie seat amidst tremendous oheering _. The resolution was then put andesrrled _.
Mr Charles Cqchr » ne , ia rising to move the second resolution , said , he must be allowed to state , before he entered into the merits of his resolution , that neither he nor the conveners of that meeting put forth wbat they were offering as ¦ national remedUefor ' _natlenaldiseases , but as simple temporary expedients ; and be _begged _permisei n further to state , thathe respected the opinio ? _, of others who did propound national remedies for national evils , be they either political or _soolal . Working men were not the licentious , debauched creatures some would
make them . Tbe' street orderlies' bad coavinoed them that it was only necessary to treat them kindly , and _ttad tbem ' employment , to m & _ka them eood members of society , ' and good _cltlsens . _Sosatlin * d were the householders and * ratepayers with the t-reet cleansing , that he believed it wonld be adopted _throughout this great metropolis . Mr Cochrane concluded by moving a resolution in favonr of street cleansing , ) as a _meana of sup . porting the poor of the metropolis ; also tbe adoption of a memorial to the Comtaiseloaers oi Sewera in favour of he tame .
The Rev ; Mr _Bbswn _. _Ib seconding the resolution , spoke highly of cultivating the _wastelands , and the Agricultural Tillage Society , as recommended by Mr Morgan . He had even gene bo far as to speak to Lord Morpeth on tbe subjeot , more especially with referene to tbe cultivation of Epplnr feres t . After apologising for hie reverend friend Mr Jones , he said , he must en . treat of tbsm not to look on the proposition he was seconding as anything but what it wbb , namely , a simple expedient ; he by no means wished them to take it as a sort of' _Morlson's Pill '—( laughter )—a sort of cure all . Mr H . Ross said , he did not wish Mr Cochraae or the
gentlemen who acted with bim in getting up this meeting , to suppose for one moment tbey bad oome there in a spirit of antagonism , but they did wish that Parliament whleh was just _abaut to assemble , should under _, stand that they , the mechanics and artisans of London , did require some more extensive measure than one which merely gave them a basin ef soup to eat , or a broom with which te sweep the streets . We want suoh measures that shall find profitable employment for all , and enable us to well feed our stomachs , and wellolothe the backs and _mlsds of oar children , whioh he thought was home colonisation and a goed secular eduoation . ( Laud cheers , )
* A Mr A ' Beckett , said to be a solicitor , and a contrl . butor to the columns of _Pokcu _, attempted to ridicule the working-men , by reoommendlBg ' shoe blocking , ' but was literally laughed from the platform . Mr _ARH 3 TRONO Waltom rose , and after quoting from the Trade ? Pamphlet , recommending home colonies , said , the bill _convening the _meeting called on th ' e mechanics and artisans to attend , end be thought tbat being called there they thould give expression to the _' r feelings . He represented large masses of mechanics . He had listened to what had been proposed , and did not think that proposed neat far enough . He had listened with _admiratloa to tome of the speeches , especially tbose of Meters XyeTd and Campbell , and did not wish to move any amendment
, but thought the fallowing oould he added as an addition to the resolution submitted - . — ' That this meeting is of opinion , that the unparalleled amount of distress among the mechanics and artisans , arises chiefly frem the want of employment , and that Great Brltaia and Ireland contain a superabundance of lsnd , labour , _tktll , and capital , to profitably employ and comfortably support doable the amount of the present population ; this meet . Ing , therefore , recommends to the people the propriety of _preislBgon the government the neoesslty of introduc ing into parliament a bill sanctioning the establishment of Home Colonies as the best means of securing profit .
able employment for the numerous but compulsory unemployed portion of our population . ' Mr A _Cahpbeil seconded the adoption ef the addition . The High _Biiurv thought the _addlttea had better be submitted as a third and substantial resolution and If the mover agreed , he ( the Hfgh Bailiff ) would , oonsider both propositions moved and seoonded , and prooeed to put them .
