Public Health. One Of The Most Prominent...
PUBLIC HEALTH . One of the most prominent points in the Ministerial programme for the present session , was the promise it held out of exteusive sanitary reforms . Atthe commencement of the year , the salutary terror inspired hy the calamitous and deadly visitation ofthe Cholera had not quite faded from recollection . But in these eases "Time _v * orks wonders . "' With
the lengthening days of spring , the memories of last year , and the desolation and mourning whicn entered so many homes , grew fainter . Sanitary Eeformers are listened to like the tellers of some thrice told tale , very good in its way , but rather a bit of a bore ; and our hardworked Government and Board of Health , have , as yet , gone no further than the initiatory Blue Books—if we can apply the term initiatory—to that which may introduce nothing .
Now , considering the fact that measures introduced after Easter have but little chance of passing in the same session , and that the two great measures of Sanitary Reform , which are most imperative , are also certain to be bitterly opposed , because they involve interference with private vested interests of considerable value , it is ; certainly high time that the promised measures of tho Government made their appearance .
One of the most important and interesting of these measures to the whole of the inhabitants of London , is that relative to a better supply of water . The two millions and a half of inhabitants in the province of brick which lines both sides of the Thames , are dependent for a suppl y of this most indispensable article upon a number of private companies , who measure their extortions by- the extent of tlie necessities of thehel pless masses the Legislature has delivered up to them . The filthy , partially
filtered , water of the river—itself the common outfall and receptacle of all the unutterable and enormous impurities of London—is the main supply for its inhabitants , and that at very high prices . There are tens of thousands of houses not even thus supplied , and in the case of whole districts , which are solely inhabited by the poor , the suppl y is intermittent ; All medical authorities have agreed that this was one cause why the cholera was so deadly in these districts , and why so large a proportion of disease is constantly present in them .
Considerable activit y was evident some time since with reference to this matter ; but , if we are rightly informed , nothing is to be done this year at least . The new plans referred to a Committee of the House of Commons will be reported against , and the whole question shelved for the present . "We do not , inthe slightest , mean to impugn the decision of the Committee -with respect to these plans , but *\ ve do . say , it will be most disgraceful , if , after all
that has heen said and done , the _, public are still"left at the mercy of the Water Companies , and compelled to pay dearly for the scanty and impure liquid now doled out to them . No doubt the question is one of considerable difficulty and magnitude , but that is an additional reason wh y no time should be lost in dealing with it . Further delay will onl y give greater strength and means to those whose interest it is to maintain the present system .
Another sanatory measure of the . most essential importauce , is the abolition , of burials in towns . The public are deepl y indebted to Mr . G- . A Walker , surgeon , for his untiring zeal , and for the time , energy , and resources , he has devoted to the exposition and demonstration of the . evils arising from this cause . But the necessity for a large radical and general measure , no longer rests upon his authorit y , or npon the authority of single individuals . The General Board of Health has presented a Report to Parliament , in which the
pestilential effects of the practice of intramural interments are fully set forth , and a new and comprehensive plan of extramural interment is proposed . It is shown , that the gases generated by the decomposition of putrescent bodies permeate the surrounding soil , and escape into the air above and the water beneath ; and that this decomposition and expansion often takes place with so much force that they break the leaden coffins in which the body is confined . In the great majorit y of instances , they rige upwards , and directl y pollute the air . In estimating the effect of these deleterious ema-

' . ' _Decaying wood , or tainted flesh - for . example , / is capable of _^ caus ing similar . decay , ' or putrefaction , . _^ n another piece , of wood or . flesh . When -ihe
living body is exposed to tliese putrid emanations , in a highly concentrated state , > the effects are immediato and . deadl y when more diluted , they still taint the system , inducing a morbid condition , which renders it more prone ' io disease in general ; hut especiall y to all forms of epidemic disease , Malignant fevers , and . dysentery , are almost specific results of their action . Two instances of the terrific
and fatal character of these gases are given in the Report , among many of a similar kind . Two grave-diggers perished instantly , in 1841 , on descending into a grave . in St . Botolph ' s churchyard , Aldgate . Four of . the crew of an American ship went on shore in Whampoa Roads , near Canton , to bury ' one of their comiuides , who had died of dysentery , they happened to select a spot where a human body had been interred two months previously . The instant the spade went through the lid
ofthe coffin , a most dreadful effluvium issued forth , and the two men engaged in the work , fell down nearly lifeless . With difficulty tlieir companions approached hear enough to drag them from the spot and to fill up the place with earth . By the succeeding morning , tho symptoms of malignant putrid fever were fully developed in both men , of wliich disease one of them died on tho fourth day , and the other on the morning of the fifth / their comrades were also affected , but more slightly .
_: The mass of evidence adduced as to the deleterious effect of the church-yards of the Metropolis , must bring conviction home to the mind of ; every person who reads ifc , that by permitting these centres of pestilence to remain amongst a large population , we are surely aud largely poisoning them . The evidence is , moreover , not confined to London ; in every one of our large towns the deadly miasma is at work .
The report also shows the incompatibility of town burials with the decency aud the solemnity of interment , and the consequent injurious reaction on the moral feeling of the community . Hitherto , however , this most objectionable and fatal practice has been maintained , becausethe _. clergy , and * class of speculators in town grave-yards , had a vested interest in it . The General Board of Health proposes to abolish entirely all interments within towns , and to provide public burial grounds at suitable distances , with a limitation as to the building of new houses in their
vicinity . They also propose to make it unlawful to inter more than one corpse in one grave , and , with respect to expense , they propose to regulate all funerals according to a series of scales or classes : the tariff to be prepared b y the Board of Health we presume , from time to time , in accordance with the varied circumstances of each case ; and , to prevent imposition , that all the charges for each class shall be paid iu one sum . Compensation is to be given to existing interests , and the present public rights are to be preserved intact in the new burial grounds .
Now such a measure as this is imperatively called for . The poor man—as we have frequently shown—suffers far more from the loss of health than the rich man . To the former health means bread and shelter , and the means of supporting his family ; its want means poverty , debt , starvation , the workhouse , and the pauper ' s grave ; with the consequent degradation , dispersion , andprobably criminality of his family . But as yet there is no appearance ofthe Bill , by which benefits of so
important a character would be conferred upon the community . We have heard , in quarters where correct information is likely to circulate , that the Board of Health , even after their admirable report and outline of an efiicieut remedy for the evils they set forth , are likely to succumb to sinister influences , and play into the hands of the Parsons . If so , it will only be another illustration of the baleful influonco which a privileged State Clergy exerts on the public interest .
At all events there can be no question that if the Government means to do anything towards the redemption of its pledges on this subject , it is high time that their measures should make their appearance . If they do not do so soon , we may make up our minds that another year is lost , and that , the public interest in the matter having cooled down , it will be suffered to rest until another visitation of the Cholera spreads dismay and death among all classes of the population .
Successful Moral Force Rebellion. The Co...
SUCCESSFUL MORAL FORCE REBELLION . The Colonists at the Cape of Good Hope have regularly defeated _< 'Her Majesty ' s _Secretary of State for the Colonies , '' and thereby set an example to other Colonies that may be catching . Earl Grey , in defiance of thc arrangement that the Cape was not to be a penal Colony , sent over last year a cargo of convicts in the ship Neptune , with a full determination to land them there ; and issued positive and unbending instructions to General Smith , the Governor of the Colony , to enforce his mandates . The Colonists immediately formed themselves into an Association , and
¦ resolved upon sending the Governor and all his understrappers to Coventry—they would neither buy with them , sell with them , eat with them , nor drink with them . Contractors , who had entered into engagements under penalties to supply the Colonial Government with stores , were compensated for breaking their contracts , and , in short , the Governor and his troops were regularly ¦ ' starved out . " At length , however , the obstinacy of even Lord Grey was subdued , and with a very bad grace he ordered the ship with its cargo of convicts , which had , during all the months of the contest been l ying in the bay , to proceed to Australia .
The victorious Colonists have , thereupon , duly celebrated their victory by passing a series of resolutions , which must be gall and wormwood to the Colonial Office , and in which they-treat some offensive remarks ofthe "' noble lord " very cavalierly . They inform his lordship , in return , that they - ' are fully prepared and resolved to follow tlio same course , should his lordship or any other of his successors in office , even threaten them with a similar insult or wrong . " A grand illumination wound up the affair upon the departure of the obnoxious vessel .
This is quite a new method of warfare , and we hope that this instance of its efficacy will have the effect of causing it to be more generally adopted in disputes with obstinate and wrong-headed Governments ' . * We observe , also , that ' -Annexation" Candidates have succeeded in several important districts in Canada ; that , as we have alread y said , is only a question of time . Tho vaunted constitution for the Australian Colonies , about which so much has been said at home , seems , hy the last advices , to have produced no excitement
whatever at Sydney . Our hold upon our Colonies is relaxing . The Free Trade system has loosened the bonds which mi ght otherwise have bound them to this country as the centre of a great empire , closely knit together by race and commercial ties . They will now form such alliances as may most conduce to their own immediate advantage , and pursue their own career uninfluenced by any conside ? rations of the effect that may be produced in Great Britain . It may take some time before that policy is consummated , but that it is already in progress seems jo admit o no question . _J

Shattered Party" atthe c ommand of the Ministers . If the " Party " was ¦¦ Shattered" then the events of the first . three sitting ** of the Houso of _Coriimons of tlie Easter recess must havedestroyed ,
entirely , what little a _* emains of cohesion and vitality it still possessed . If the Manchester toadies and tuft-hunters , who crowded round Lord John Russell during his Easter visit to that City , had been more truthful and less flattering ; if instead of glozing and sugared compliments upon his past political career , they had spoken plainly as , to .- the requirements of the present hour ,, ho might have perhaps better comprehended his position with the public . Aa it is , it almost seems as if he and his Cabinet were of opinion that they may safely defy public opinion , and deny with impunity every reform or improvement that may be asked for , whether that reform . be large or small .
Previous to going into Committee on the Ordnance Estimates on Monday , Captain Boldero proposed an improvement in the position of Assistant Surgeons in the Navy . Their case offers a strikiug illustration of the oligarchical and offensive character of our institutions . The assistant-surgeons havo the nominal rank , and the real pay ofa lieutenant , in the army , but , they are really placed on board ship in . tho same conventional position as tho midshipmen . Instead of being allowed to mess with officers of their own , or even inferior rank , and like them allowed
separate cabins for sleeping and study , they are huddled into the cock-pit to consort with youug lads , boiling over with fun and animal spirits , and are allowed only the few inches : of space necessary to sling their hammocks . The cockpit , as Capt . BotDEito described it , is , * ' a place in the hold of a " ship whore the sun never penetrates , where the only lig ht is afforded artificially . by means of lamps or candles , and where an , impure atmosp here constantly prevails . " Any one who wants to get an accurate idea of the accessories amidst which an assistant surgeon must pursue his professional studies has only to read Smollett ' s Roderick
Random . The writer himself had endured / the indig nities and the disgraceful treatment he so graphically and powerfully describes , but from that . time to the present little has been done to ameliorate the condition of this most useful and indispensable class bf public officers . They are still compelled . to associate with the "middies" under circumstances totall y opposed to anything like consecutive study , or professional improvement , and made to smart under the consciousness of a social indignity . Their case has been frequently brought up , and as frequently admitted to be one of great individual hardship , as well as public loss ; but successive Governments havo been obstinately obstructive .
Neither a sense of personal justice nor public benefit , has prevailed upon them to give the men entrusted with the care of the lives of our " jolly tars , " those fitting means and appliances which are indispensable to the efficient performance of their" duties . - Engineers have been provided with separate cabins , and masters' mates also ; but then they have charge of property , surgeons only look after life . Everybody knows the difference in the estimate
set upon the two things m this country , when the lives happen to bo tliose of the working and poorer classes . Thc consequence of these offensivo and degrading arrangements on board ship , has been to deter well qualified persons from accepting the situation ; and notwithstanding the pressure of competition among a tolerably numerous profession , the Admiralty have , at times , been unable to find persons to fill the placo , the pay of which is admitted to be , upon the whole , liberal .
In 1805 , it was agreed by the Lords in council , that assistant surgoons in the navy should be placed on the same footing as those in the army . In 1838 , the present sovereign ordered that the medical officers in the two services should be assimilated ; and so late as 1847 , the committee on tho army and navy expenditure strongly condemned the existing syst ° m ;¦ but the oligarchical exclusive spirit which prevails among the aristocratical classes who monopolize the superior positions in these two departments , has rendered all these orders and
recommendations nugatory . Admiral Dundas , in reply to Capt . Boldero' s unanswerable speech , mumbled a tew disjointed senteuces _, which were as devoid of common sense as they were of logic , pertinence , or argument . In one thing , however , he showed himself a true "Whig . In the face of an overwhelming avalanche of petitions , in favour of the change , he averred , that it was uot wanted by the navy surgeons , who had not petitioned , Mr , Hume promptly and properly replied , that when the Admiralty Board snubbed even admirals when they presumed to find fault with its
management , it was not likely that poor men would run the risk of censure aud dismissal , for complaining of their High Mightinesses , The House showed its sense of the official reply , by beating Ministers with a majority of eight , whereupon Sir F . Baring—the First Lordbacked by a subordinate Lord ( Admiral Berkeley ) virtually snapped their fingers ' in the face of the House , and told them it was no use agreeing to resolutions that could not be carried out , videlicet , that these , same - lords" are detprmined not to carry out . We shall see what the upshot will be—whether Ministers or Parliament will succumb .
Iu tho discussions on the Ordnanco and Navy , which occupied the remainder of the night , the usual revelations were made ofthe expensive , unsatisfactory , and , iii many instances , profligate expenditure in our National Establishments . What do our readers think bf a charge of £ f } Q , 061 for an establishment maintained for the purchase of about £ 100 , 000 Worth of old stoves a year % The only defence offeredby Col . Anson , was that , bad as that is , there was a time when it was much worsewhen it cost more , and did even less . That , no doubt , is true enough . But what then ? Is it any justification for making " ducks and drakes" of the money wrung from a toiling , and , as far as large masses are concerned ,
a suffering peop le ? The establishment not only costs this enormous sum for doing such a small business , but it does that very badly . Col . Anson himself was driven to admit , that the store accounts "have been kept in a most imperfect and unsatisfactory manner '" though presenting in themselves no difficulties to men of real business . The truth is , that the whole department seems to be arranged upon the principle of " hide and seek . " Ifc has abundance of strength , but it is so arranged that the officers spend their time in hunting after each other . The machine is curiously contrived to produce the least possible effect , with the largest possible expenditure of power and money . Jack does-nothing , and Tom helps him . ¦/' ¦ _V' ' X . '
Asusuaioua' _^ vip _^ ly _^ night . '" the Houso was almost empty ' _'XThV Ministerial benches had a few members thinly dispersed to make a show . Colonel Sibthorp , and one other Member ,-for a very long time , were tho sole occupants of the Protectionist- _^ and , so-called _Opposition V—benches . This fact enables usVto judge , of the sincerit y of some of the tenants of these benches , ' who , upon other occasions , put themselves forward as advocates of economy and reduction of taxation .

When they talk of financial remissions ' and alterations , they simply intendtokcop all they have now got for their _elass , and to throw somo of the taxation they now pay on the shoulders of the middle and industrious classes . They want to get more froni , and to pay less to , the National Exchequer .
The gallant Member for Lincoln made , an unsuccessful attack upon . the Balaries and establishment of the Admiralty . He flew at high game , and proposed not onl y a " reduction in the salaries of the LoHDS themselves , but also in their number . " That thero was room for reduction may be judged from the fact , that the management of the Admiralty costs the round sum of £ 137 , 100 . Of this £ 13 , 700 goes to six Lords and their Secretaries , and no less a sum than £ 37 , 700 to . the porters , .
messengers , and servants who wait- upon , and run the messages of , these said Lords and Secretaries ! The manner in ivhich this singular result is brought , - ' about , is a curious illustration of the ingenuity of official folks , in contriviug plans foi spending the people s money , and multiplying places and patronage for themselves . They keep two different establishments in London , in preference to conducting all . the . business under one roof , or at least in contiguous premises ; hence the host of porters and messengers required . Then the salaries of these same
porters , and messengers are most gentlemanly . True , there is liotquite as much intellect and scholarl y qualification required for the situation , as for a "N ational Society schoolmaster , or the surgeon of a Poor-law Union , but the pay is , in , some cases , six or seven times , in others three or > fo . ur times as much , , A happy and a well-paid set of porters , messengers , and servants , are they who live under the benign and generous svv ay . of the ' Lords of thc Admiralty . But looking at the composition and duties of the Board- itself , our wonder ceases at this .
The members are ; evidently an easy-going , pleasure-loving race . Their main duty seems tobe to run down Occasionally to our great naval ports , and under the pretence of a . "tour of inspection" to indulge in sundry junketings , and eat a few good dinners with tlie magnates ofthe locality . Now we have no objection to anybody enjoying the good things of this life , but we grumble , " rather , '' when wo havo to pay the piper , and are mulcted of even ordinary comforts , in order to provide the means for these and similar extravagancies .
We need not say that the voting of the Estimates was not interrupted by any " untoward accident . " Mv . Hume , Mr . Cobden , and two or three other members , kept np a running fire of interpellations and objections ; but thc business proceeded steadily , and at an hour past midnight , the few who had weathered out the long sitting , went home with the satisfaction that they had disposed of a good round amount of the annual taxation ; and maintained , untouched in all their rank luxuriance , those " pleasant fields and pastures green , " whicli form the refuge and browsing ground for that aristocracy that does us the honour to condescend to manage our affairs for us .
The consequence of reckless and unjustifiable extravagance ou Monday night , was illustrated on Tuesday . Lord Duncan moved for the Repeal of the Window Tax ; a clearer , stronger , more unanswerable case , never was laid before Parliament . On every ground it was triumphant . In 1845 , when he first mooted the question , Sir Robert Feel , then Minister , admitted . tho justice ot the demand , and promised it his consideration . Had he remained in office , we have no doubt ho _v-ould have redeemed his promise , and dealt with the
question in some way or other ; but iu that year , Lord John Bussell , by a factious and unprincip led combination , drove him from office , and , in 1848 , was obliged by Lord Duncan to confess , that the argument was wholly in favour of the suggested remission . Why was the tax not repealed , then ? Because the then deficiency in the revenue would not permit it . The case ia now altered . We have a surplus , not yet exactly disposed of , notwithstanding the Chancellor of the Exchequer' s Budget . Besides , we have the mischievous and costl y African Squadron , that we might
easily get rid of . That would furnish of itself one million sterling towards the sixteen or eighteen hundred thousand pounds produced by this most partial , unequal , oppressive , and health destroying tax . Sir C . Wood ,-in reply , blundered and stammered and boggled more than usual with that burning and shining light of Whiggery . He was evidently at fault , and did not know what to say , while with the obstinacy in wrong-doing which characterises
the whole party , he was resolved not to y ield . He was the only man who ventured to open his mouth in opposition to tho motion for Kepeal , theother " noble lords" and "hon . gentlemen , " who voted with the Government , were as dumb as Egyptian mummies . It would havo been satisfactory to have had Lord Ebhington ' s reason , for instance , for voting against the Repeal of the Window Tax . He professes to be a great Sanatory Reformer ; and so enthusiastic was he in the cause , that he
even went down to Plymouth and delivered a lecture to his Constituents on the subject , in which he strongly aud unequivocally condemned this tax , as the fruitful source of _manj physical and moral evils among the working find poorer classes . Yet , on Tuesday night , he voted against its remission . The unanimous opinion of all great economical , social , and medical authorities aro decisively condemnatory of the tax ; and the excessively partial way in which it falls upon only a very small section of thc community , and that mostly a struggling one , renders it a most obnoxious impost .
On a division Ministers were virtually beaten . Seventy-seven voted for thoRepon ] , and eighty against it , leaving a miserable majority of ' three I in support of this ' most ; _nefaririous _. aud unjust tax . Mr . King aud Mr . ALCOCK , the members for Surrey , -were prevented by the Quarter Sessions from arriving in time for the division—which , by the way , was pressed on with' all the consciousness that nothing could be said in defence of the taxotherwise the majority would only have been
one ; If we had honest meu , or capable men in office , such an unequivocal demonstration of the feeling Of Parliament would produce an immediate effect ; but we have no hope whatever of the present Government . They seem to be devoid of an official conscience . Defeats make them , only cling more closely to their seats . Warning divisions impel them to a more determined defence of abuses : they
seem to glory in defying not only the opinion out of doors , but also in Parliament , wherever they think they may do it , and not lose place and salary . If Lord Duncan , however , follows up his virtual victory on Tuesday , as we think he ought to do , or if some other member was to renew' the motion before the brick dust and illusory budget ofthe Chancellor is carried , we are of opinion , that even in this session this most indefensible tax could
be swept away , despite of the inst inctive tena city wherewith Whigs cling to an abuse .
Another instance of the almost infatuated determination of tho Cabinet to resist every improvement , as far as they possibl y can , was afforded on Wednesday , when Sir Gr . Grey opposed the extension of the jurisdiction of the County Courts from £ 20 to £ 30 . The
