She would not be the worse of it ; and that kiss—oh, I

I gave no time Sir thought to cool, but entered the

is a ;of a i-a tg editorial of the Loudon Morning
Herald, of March noth :
Not very f r from ’he s;h>? where we write, within no
very grea distance of the residences of many of our ar
istocracy, lies out* of those dark and gloomy “courts”
viiich, all over London, are thronged by the poor. It
s not, we believe, worse than hundreds of others, bu
it ha been ■ p ore 1, and to the humanity of those
who h ivt- v si ed its dism >1 chatr.bers, we are indebted
ti-r a des rip inn of the dwellings, and the daily life of
myriads ofeitv swar ning population.
The “cour ” of which we write, Charlotte buildings,
off Gray’s inn-lane, contains In houses, and these
houses give, each containing eight rooms, shelter, ui>or
he very lowest calcul ti.ui, to a population of very neur
lv 1,0 >o persons! The ilcsei ipl ion of one of these hou
■s is the description of all. \\ ill our readers bear with
us while we take them through its apartments as they
ire desc ib.*d bv an eyewitness? We begin with two
rooms upon the ground-floor.
In the front room “there are r.o bedsteads, chairs, oi
abler, a few ragged Holies are* drying before the tire
hi Ihe grate; above the mantel area looking glass ab >ut
liree inches high, and some torn prints of the crucifix
ion, Ac ; in the cupboards, without doors, are pieces of
h.oken crockery; a kind of bed in one corner, with
children asleep; the floor rotten in many parts, the
walls ami ceiling sadly cracked. Tli * rent is “s sd p “
week, which is called for every Monday, and must be
paid oil Wednesday.”
We arc no* old who are the inmates of this chamber,
bu: the mom immediately b hind it ‘presents a sad
scene of and stress - the man, wife and his chi'.dr u. eirn
i a living by chopping firewood ; the man had been ill
i a::d not able to rise for two days; he was lying on a
| quantity of wood shaving, and was covered with an old
j black and ragged blanket; bis skin did not appeal as j*
j it had been washed tor weeks; he was very ill, and evi
dently in a state of fever; his wife was almost eq ‘ally
dirty. ‘We have no wood io chop,’ was ihe expression
of tludr ultimate distress. This room was much dilapi
dated. and they had suffered greatly during the late se
vere* weather, ow ing to the broken coud tion of the win
dows. The rent was Is i'd per week : the window
overlooks a back-yard, the condition of which w is shock
ing.”
These, it will be remembered, are not the haunts of
‘.'in- out easts of society, who live by plunder. The
wretched back loom is the hiding-place of a miserable
i . “iij.h* who, with their ch'hlre'.i, attempt to earn their
bread by an humble and iil-requited, bui an In n s’ i.i
----du-o v. The cxpiv- .a of their worst tears .s, “We
have no wood to chop.”
“The hr -rfloor, continues the writer, “boh back
and front, was crowded with inhabitants. The people
•lokumvledged that fifteen persons slept in the two little
Mims last night, the wall- were cracked and dirty; and
t!ie ceiling cot.rtttiitlv t ills tqion the floor while the in
mates are taking their food. One woman said that a

accustomed to the Rembrandtish gloom, we found
lifeen persons! Some had been selling onions, Ac. in
the streets; some begging, one or two were seemingly
bricklayers, laborers, and others had been working at

The others presented the same dismal picture, with ;
the additou of holes in the root, through which the
\ winds, and rains, and snoas, made their wav u; on the
inmates of this wretched tenement. For these atics
the rent was the same as for the lower apartments—
an anomally accounted lor by the fact that “the land

shilling or so in arrear of root.” The annual sum ex

It i> difficult to realise the appalling truth, that in
one small court of this great metropolis, one thousand
human beings are at this moment thus existing
Multiply this number by that of the similar receptacles
of human misery ihat surround us, and we may ven
ture* to set against all the degradation of human nature
that prevails over ten thousand quare miles of the
most savage districts u|kiii earth, the utter abasement
of our fellow creatures, which is, at the very hour when
we write, continued within .he metropolis of great and
Christian England.
Lot men prate as they will about our progress, we
do not believe that .--cenes like these existed in the olden
time. Discomfort there may have been ; distress and
bard pinching times, but we do not believe that any |
generation but our own has ever witnessed so hideous

Singular Duel —Kendall, in h s last letter front
Paris to the X O. P-o y-'-’e, gives the following amus
ing account of a duel:
An original and most singular duel, and a most ludi
crous uitlud, was fought here in Paris a few days since,
the parties being a couple of coachmen di ii ing lor pi :-
vatefamil.es. i here t.ad long been a grudge between
them, a deep-sealed animosity, which led to constant
quart el* whenever the me. By aicident, the bob
happened a’ a wine shop or cabaret, one evening la-i i
week, Btid after a fev. i.-gh words one of them said o
ill” other: “Oar quarrel has now lasted long enough—
it is time to nut an end to it. Let us have one tight,
and Lt that oe tiie last. We nei her of us undei stand

At a given “igu.fi hey commenced cutting and slash

anil the pairs of either became more a< uit*. There was
no let up on either side, on the contrary, they belabored
each other with a will which showed the violence < t
their hatred. The shouts and oaths of the combutanis
at rogth reached the oars of some of the gendarmes in
the vicinity, who catnc up and arrested l.Mitli while still
unmercifully cutring each oilier righ: and left, and
niarrhed them off to the gnardhonse. One of the bel
ligerents had received a severe* lash or gash across tlie
Lee, tin* other had an ear almost cut off, and both were*
severely punished about their heads end shoulders. All
accounts agree that both parties behaved with the great
est coolness and gallantry while thus settling their ut

air. ind has discovered a means of compressing it, to a
merely nominal cost. A paper on the subject has been
read to the Academy of Sciences. M Julienne propo
