From the Sydney Skrald ^ : ! ' — - ' ^ We this day present 6 ur ; readers with ¦» series oif documents which has reached us : froin an authentic source , ; affording the most irrefragable evidence of the job that has been made with the colonists' money , Appropriated to the purpdges of erhieT&tiori i and . of the . fearful sacrifice of the lives of British subjects emigrating to this colony , as illustrated in the case of the ship Lady M ^ Naghten . ; . A perusd of these documents will present facts so appalling as almost to supersede the necessity of oar commenting thereupon . .
Here vre have a committee of emigratien , acting nnder tn > autnority of His Majesty ' s Government , equally bound . to superintend the discreet application of the public money , and to protect and provide for the health and welfare of the emigrants during their voyage , contracting with a party , we presume , at sjomubh per head ( which , we ; dare say , on iriveotigariori will not be found to be anything shart--ef the Government bduniy of £ 20 for each adult , arid in proportion for children ) for the conveyance of those emigrants from the United Kingdom to this colony . The contracting party thereupon charters a vessel of from 500 to 600 tons burden for the purpose , for the consideration of about j £ 2 , 000 ; he hurries her off
to Cork with insumcierit fittings , without hospital convenience * , arid without adequate medical comforts , or even medicines ,- —without preliminary examination into the state of the health of the emigrants , who are also , in most instances , without a sufficiency of apparel necessary to cleanliness , in inany with single change , in some cases ( those not a few ) with the clothes on their backs : the-emigrants , 420 in number , are huddled on board , and the vessel , lumbered with merchandise and stores for private sale , is hurried to sea on her voyage of 16 , 000 miles . ' for every day ' s detentioh is the consuniption of a day ' s provisions , at the cost of the . affroighter-or contractor . '•
The Mayor of Cork , it will be seen , after the eiribarkatibn of these unfortunate people , proceeded on board , the vessel with the local committee and others , and expresses himself thus : >—^ That he never witnessed such a scene ; that it was his opinion , one-. half would die before they reached their dest ination . " Yet they are sent to sea ; and , we sunposej thV party contracting for their conveyance will long er < J this have received the ; colonists' money at so much per he 3 d , according .-to the numerical strength , of the embarkation return ! " ¦ " ; Witht a cheap , charter—and a cheap potato-diet to begin with , for the emigrants—and a relief ere long from tlie necessity of any diet all for no
inconsiderable portion of their number—a very pretty sum the contractor must have made of it , under the management of a committee acting by the authority of His Majesty's Government ! Itis not , however , the contracting party that wo are disposed to . blnine , so much as the committee and the Home Government , who are responsible , we should imagine , for the consequences to Parliament and to the country ; which doubtless will call for a , solemn inquiry into tlie case of the emigrant ship"Lady M'Naghten , " The cupidity of agents and contractors in all emigration business was a known evil to guard against ; and we shouldlike to know what security
the committee in London or the Home Government may have taken ' . from , the contracting : parties , either in the sli . tpe of peimlty or forfeiture , to prevent what experience has shown might always be expected to occur where such precaution was not adopted . . ' . ' .. Thesalutiiry provisions of various acts of Parliament Wlricli have been j " and are in force , as to crowding ; ships with passengers . could notbe unknown to a Minister of the Crown , if they wlw to members of tlie emigration committee . But the authority of the Minister was " ' . and .- is necessary to the issue of that money for emigration- service ; ' and he , we conceive , is the responsible party , if , from tlie absence of propor precaution , or if , from the presence of something else—if , for instance , ' 'the . emigration contracts have been made a matter of . patronage ,
and a waste of public monies , and what is of more consequence , a culpable sacrifice of Britishlife have thins taken place . The local Government , and the Board of Inquiry convened at its instance , it will be seen , nut ' only to acquit llie commanderof the vessel and his officers of all lilame , but award to linn , the -highest praise . He is himself a considerable sufferer by , his detention , and the imposition of charges incident thereto . It is not , iiowi'ver , upon any grounds of his private interests ¦ , which do not require it at our hands , -that we allude to the commander , as lie has been found , on careful inquiry and investigation , not to blame , - tire Question resolves itself into twWWho is then ? , . an irfespon . siblt ? Secretary of State , or an irresponsible emigration committee , exercising patronage under that irresponsible iimctio ' iiarv ?¦ ' ' .. "
Thu . foH « -J-wiug extracts from the captain ' s official report , and from the . Surgeon ' s diary are weU ' worth . tlie attention of such of our countrymen as may ' feel inclined ro . be deluded by the prospects oft ' ered ' by the emigration coniinittee . ¦ . "In the first p lace , the embarkation of the people on board my ship at . Cork was most disgraceful ' . ; tho vessel ' s hold , fore and aft , being already filled with stores , provisions , and cargo 'belonging to the aureiguter—no space had been allotted for the reception of the emigrant ' s baggage , except between decks , yet they were allowed to bring what they liked , box Upon box , without any one to keep order or regularity amongst them . The surgeon thought it necessary to have their boxes opened—upon doing , so lie found many nearly empty , and the contents of such were only a parcel -wf old clothes , bats , and blankeis , not
nt for use ; consequently be ordered such boxes to be emptied and left on board the steamer by . which the emigrants readied the vessel , there not being rooin in llie ship for nearly one-halV . As for many wishing to embnrk , of this 1 know iiotliiug—I believe tvvojor three did get away b y stealth ; but it was the express command Of the emigration agent to tlie surgeon that none should be allowed to leave the ship again , and that as soon as ever the embarkation was completed we -should immediately get under weigh , # nd proceed to sea , which I refused to ' do in the condition the ship was then in , not only from tlie ' ¦ ' . number of persons put on boand \ but the quantity of baggage which came with , .. them ' , the hold of the vessel being previously filled with stores , surplus provisions , arid cargo . In corroboration hereof , I refer to tlt& surgeon's journal , dated Nov . 3 .
" The baggage was thus necessarily placed in between decks , filling the place from deck to deck , arid leaving only a narrow alley on each side for the inmates to get to their berths ^ and of course , obstructing all free circulation of air . My refusing to get the ship under weigh , called down the Mayor of Cork ( Mr . Pinnock ) , the Government agent , Lieutenant Friend ^ arid tyir . Marshall , with several others interested . The . rnaybr accompanying me down in the between-decks , remarked 'that never « uch a scene was witnessed , arid thatit was his opinion one half ' ( the aggregate number embarked , being 420 , " theshi p 55 S tons burden ) ' would die before they ruaclied their destination . They , however , all came to . the
decision , mat the ship should proceed to sea in this state , arid thut as the p rovision and water-casks were emptiedj they were to be broken up , and the baggage stowed in their places . Therefore , I leave you to judge , gentlemen , the state Yre were in . I will just name yon at this place , that , at the very time we left Cork , a very bad kind of scarlet fever was raging there and proving- very fatal . I have no hesitation in saying that . it was brought on board by some of-the emigrants ; and I believe I may also safely state , that no precaution whatever , by previous examination , was adopted to ascertain the state ; of their health , or even to ascertain whether they were . provided ; generally with sufficient changes Of the most
indispensable articles of wearing apparal ; • * I have , been employed for ; many years in conveying a great number of lnV Majesty ' s subjects , dril and military , amounting to between 5 , 000 and 6 , 000 passengers , J may say to all parts of the world , and I do assure you , never did such a set as the last come under my notice ; with the exception of about twenty families who were reall y respectable . I considerit a great pity these families were obliged to mix with the rest ; the agents at home paying no respect to the character or state of health of the individuals so long as they got syfficient ; to fill the- ship . I wall here observe , that two cabins under the poop , 9 feet by 8 feet 6 inches , were fitted up with berths to contain eight fernale adults each , and could that rinmber have been obtained , there would have been sixteen
persons in that small space , without any restrictions or consideration of the great annoyance it must have been to the cabin passengers . That plan was defeated , as the number could not be got . ' ^ am decidedl y of opinion that two medical men ought at least tohave been sent out witn the numbers we had , as of course it mightbe expected more sickness would take place when there wag such a number of young children and females . We were also withou t a single necessary article of any description , either for the comfort or convenience of sick persons , riot having a single spare bed , or bedding , towels , or , in fact , arrythmg that ought tohaye been nut into a hospital . TTiemedicalconaforts were equally deficient , having supplied many things , including : sago , &c ., from my own private stock . "

_ w ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^ mm ^ mms Nor . 28 . — " Whilst on the subject of illness I must express my regret at the entire arid unnecessary lack of all proper conveniences in that part of the ^ ship appropriated for the sick , and in its present state , certainly no hospital . - In thenrat place , even with the stern-ports open , it is so dark , that it b qiiite impossible , on this score alone , either to dispense medicine or perform the shghtest operation either with security or convenience . 2 .

MACCLESFIELD POOR LAW UNION VrORKHOUSE . y ; This building was forinerly the workiiOuse under the old law , and not being sufliciently commodious ^ or adapted to the views of the Poor Law ComnuV sionefs , it was resolved that a new one should be erected from a design by Mr . Goldsmith , architect ^ of Manchester . : No sooner was this workhpuseia agitation , than the inhabitants , ¦; were on the alert , iand b y a spirited opposition succeeded in driving the commissioners from their purpose . Thus , being defeated , it was thought advisable to alter thepresent vvorkhouse , and by several additions and building of partition walls to separate the sexes , they were enabled to accommodate about 150 inmates t
but the assistant-commissioner ,. thinking that the outside / : galls' were too low—that is 12 feet—they were raised six feet higher , and covered with brokea glass to prevent escape , and that a pair of lar ^ e gates in front of the building affordedtoo ready an egress , ordered them to be , walled up , and the only entrance is a wicket door , behind which sits a porter to watch any intruder from without , or anj' pauper within , who might be anxious to get put ; thus the extended boundary of the workliouse isinade sptis defy art or favour to get out . . : Ori my entrarica through the portal of living death , I was struck at ^ the sight of a placard headed " Kotice is hereby given to vagrants ; " reading on , 1 foiirid that it was the conditions upon which they were , to receivt
relief—viz ., their , hair should be cropped , that they should be stripped and wished , and - before they were relieved , tlie ^ must grind a certain ; quantity ^ df corn . I inquired if the cropping of liaif was sull carried on , and I was answered 'in the negative ,, bnt : that . - ; * '' the rest of the conditions were ; strictly enforced . " Be this as it inay , the dreadful warningremains to strike terror into the hungry applicant for relief ; I was : ushered into the presence of tte governor , a very civil gentleman to all appearance , formerly , a quartermaster of a' marching regimen V who ordered one of the paupers to show me through , ( he house . The first place 1 entered vvas the men ' s dny-room ; here were near 50 men standing and . sitting like so many disconsolate prisoners in a
convict s day-room .. " .. -One fine young man I questioned as to his present ; condition ;; he had a smiliiigj ) at » in his arms , which he seemed to earess ' vvitlian extraordinary degree / of" paternal fondness . ' Is that your child ? " said L " Yes , " he repliei l Isits mother in the house : ? "' " Yes , on the other side . " " ¦ How do you like being separated ?" ^ Wh y * I don ' t like it , you- may be sure . " > Do tliey . ailow you to see your child , then . ' ¦ '; , ' " Sometimes ;; but he grumbles hard when I go for it . " " Who grumbles ? " " The governor . " : "How do you like your situation '¦! " " 1 should like it better if we had better meat . " I was surrounded by the poor inen ,
and thinking 1 might give offence to the Governor , I proceeded on with my guide . ' . I was then shown the com-inillj where the vagrants have to ' earn their poir tage . It is a mill for grinding the flour used iii tliehouse , worked by a double crank , handle ,- similar to n ship pump . At the end of this yard is the men ' s refractory ward , adjoining which is the dead-housey which ; then contained , a corpse . I wasi next sho ^ vii the boys' bed-roonis , containing fifteeri beds , some of chailV some of strawy and scfrrie ' of flock , \ vith good covering . ; The men ' s bed-ropm contained eighteen beds . of the same materials , the rooms were ¦¦ whitewashed ; and well ventilated ! , ' - and - ' seemedtolerably clean . The women V ward was of th «
same nature as the real , and the women's and * girls ' bed-rooinscoritaiued ten beds , arid in good condition . I was then showi : the wash-honse , cookingrhouse . ^ . hospital , and workshop . The potatoes were usually boiledin the wash-house ^ next to the clothes' boilert which I thought not one of iixn best places for tha purpose , though the boiler appeared clean . Thfi tread used is of very fair quality , to say the vroist of it , and such as I could myself eat , and the oatmeal pottage also was of a fair quality ; but when I was told , and afterwards saw it in the dietary tabls , that only thirty-eieht purices of this bread , wasallowed to each pauper for the whole week , it detracted from tl \» little ; good existing in the dietary rules . I here subjoin a copy of the dietary used is thisworkhousa : ^ - : :. -.:,, .. " . ; -. ¦ ;; ^ . V

^ Sb that frorii this statement , ( which I copied iroTtt the governor ' s instructions , it is endent , that hoffever good the quality of the breadmay be , the poor unforturiate inmates get a small sliare of it , and however fair inquality . the oatmeal porridge may be , they get too much of it . I stated to the govenior tW opinion I entertained regarding the dietary , and also snbTmtted a copy of the" dietary table used in th » Salford Anti-Poor : Law "VYorkhouse , which he promised to lay before the board of guardians . Tl * governor also complained much pf the excessire duties ; he hjad to perform » arid the tromble it took to keep the paupers in subordination . From this it would appear that the inmates are far . from heiD £ satisfied Avith their unfortunate situations , and *> they ought to be , when such vile coercive measure * are used to torture them becaase they are poor . In one corrier of the yard I saw a Strong iron door stcured by a heavy chain and padlock . ; npon inqnirj ^ is to its use , I ; Was told that siube the separation hat been carried on , it is pu t there to keep the men from the women . I was so horrified at the idea , that I said to a friend , a native of the town , who was neat me , ' ^ How like a felon's dnngeon gate is this , and for what criminal purpose is it erected . '" Heartsick at the thought of being in one of those curses of the ; poor ,, 'I turned asidevhoping :, to God that I niigW never enter one of tlie * ejplaces under arcumstnnce different from tha ^^ pregerii Notmthstariding it < cleanliness , ftere was . something so repugnant to genuine English feelings , something so systematicj p rison-like , so degrading , to see so many of fff fellow-countrynien deprived of their natural h'bertf because misfortune ^ has ; dealt ripori them the hand <» afflictipri , and poverty is their only crime .

Henry's French Meroine Pills , will attend every Wednesday and Thursday ^ at No . 4 , George Street , facing East Brook Chapel , Bradford . A TREATISE IS JUST PUBLISHED . ON THE VENEREAL & SYPHILITIC DISEASES , AND GIVEN WITH EACH BOX OF
vm . HENBY'S FRENCH MEROINE PILLS , CONTAIN ING plain and practical directions for the effectual cure of all degrees of the above complaints—with observations on seminal weakness arisingfrom early abuses , and the deplorable consequences resulting from the use of mercury , the whole intended for the instruction of general readers ^ so that all persons can obtain an immediate cure with secrecy and safety . Prepared and sold by the sole Propr ietor , at No . 74 , Cobourg Street , Six Doors from Brunswick Chapel , Leeds . In Boxes , 2 s . 9 d . and 4 s . 6 dL each . With each Box is given directions how to take these Pills , observations on points beneficial to the patient , being hints worth knowing by those who are , or have been , sufferers from this dreadful aud devastating malady . . ' . ¦ ' .-.. _ - ¦¦ .: "• r That cruel disease which has destroyed so many thousands is now unhappily so well known that a recital of its effects is quite unnecessary , its malignant influence extending by inheritaace from family to family , and when the great Doctor Henry became professor to the University , he conferred an invaluable benefit upon mankind by the discovery of his grand panacea for the cure of this deplorable complaint . The certainty with which the Pills are continually administered can be attested by many thousands who -axe ajnraallv cured by theni . What medicine can be more appropriate than that which has given such general satisfaction ? The French Pills Toot out every particle of the insidious poison , purifying in their progress the whole mass of fluids . They not only remove the disease but they renovate by their action the different functions of the body—expelling the grosser humour , and in a manner so imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers . They neither contain mercury nor any other mineral , and may be taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery ; they require no restraint of diet , loss of time , or hindrance of business , but effect a complete , cure without the least exposure to the patient . At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist it willbe well to have recourse to the French Pills ; for when taken before the disease has made its appearance they act as a certain preventive , removing the complaint effectually and secretly . The deplorable state in which many persons have been when visiting the Doctor ( from the n » e of mercury ) renders it imperatively necessary to caution the public against that dangerous mineral when injudiciously administered . - The Doctor , after an extensive practice of Thirty Years , has rendered hi $ counsel an object of the utmost consequence to all who are labouring under hereditary or deep seated maladies ; to those troubled with seminal weakness , his advice will be invaluable ; hundreds have owned his skill in these complaints . To the youth of both sexes , ¦ whether lured from health by the promptings of passion , or the delusions of inexperience , his advice is superior ; in his practice he iinitss a mild gentleness of treatment , and possessing so thorough a knowledge of his art , the most deplorable cases afford no resistance to his skill . His extensive practice has rendered him the depositary of many distressing secrets which are kept with unblemished faith and honour ; to persons so afflicted , it is highly necessary to observe that an early application is of the greatest importance , and that with such a practitioner any hesitation in disclosing their disorder , must amount to a delicacy as destructive as it is liaise and unnecessary . To the neglect of such attentionj are attributable many of those hapless instances , which , while they excite the commiseration of the beholder , should also impress him with the fear of self-reproach . To all such , then , we address ourselves , offering hope—energy—muscular strength—felicity ; nor ought our advances to appear questionable , sanctioned as they are by the multiplied proofs of thirty years' successful experience . Letters ( post paid ) inclosing a remittance , answered by the return of post , and Medicines punctually transmitted to any address , either by initials , or name- Private entrance , No . 28 , Queen's Place , Hack Cobourg-Street ; With each Box will be given practical observations , gratuitously , on the above disease . The Doctor will attend daily from Eight in the morning till Ten at night , and on Sunday from Nine till Two , where he will administer advice to any one taking these Pills , or any other of bis Preparations , without a fee
