The Dank-Slums of London.
In " Oliver Twist" and Jack Sheppard,"
and sonic other of DICKENS' and AINSIVOIITII'S
writings, mention is made of the haunts, com
monly •called "The Back-slums of London,"
in which crimes are plotted, and poverty and
guilt are lodged, in the meanest and most gre.
garious manner. A friend of ours, who paid
his first visit to London a few years ago, and
had some curiosity to ascertain whether the
great novelists had been truthful or exagge
rating in their delineations, actuafly visited
these haunts of vice, under the protection of
two of the keenest police officers in the Metro
politan force, and halt yielded to our request
that be would permit us to publish a few pages
out of his diary. The first of these papers we
now place hetbre the public. The second shall
appear to-morrow.—En.

LONDON, 1853.
The next evening, after my visit to Windsor
Castle, a party of us started at 9 o'clock from the
hotel to see some of the sights of London that are not
visible to theoasual observer. To Maio this survey,
it Is necessary to be accompanied by two or three
pollee. We had made our arrangements several
days previous, and were so fortunate as to have
for guides Inspectors C. F. Field and Shinny, of
the detective force ; the former had been head of
the pollee for many years, and knew (meetly where
to take 119 O. The laver was not far behind him
in hie knowledge, and between the two we felt in
good hands. We were careful to remove all money
or valuables from our persons, as we were about to
enter iota the company of some of the greatest
thieves and rascals in the United Kingdom. The
party numbered six In all, and occupied two eche.
The first place visited was In the vicinity of the
SevetrDials. We loft our vehicles, and, groping
up narrow, dark lanes, on each side of 'which were
old rickety frame houses, stopped in front of a eel.
„ lar-door. A crowd of miserable-looking specimens
of humanity instantly collected, and would hardly
allow us to proceed further. Stationing two of the
local police at the door, Mr. Field, beckoning us
after him, prepared to descend the stairs, saying,
as ho did so, "Gentlemen, we are going down here
to pay a visit to Rat's Castle." With somediMMilty
we reached the bottom, and found a confined eel
lar. It wes about twenty-ono fiTet by fifteen. On
one side was a long deal table, around OM were
benches. A bright fire was burning, a candle in a
hole in the table was the only luminary by day and
night. Nero we found about twenty-five men;
some playing cards while others were looking on.
In a corner ono was lying asleep; all were mise
rably dressed, Upon our entmce we were
scanned very closely, bitt this over, they continued
at their amusement. " Ilow are you, my boys?"
said our leader. "Very well, sir," cried all, ex.
cept one who arose and came towards us. His hair
was out close to his head, being just from prison.
Ile was "not very well to-night." "No, I sup
pose not, my boy; but where's the governor?"
said Field. "Rem he le, sir," was board to pro
eoed from a corner, and immediately a short, sal
low-looking, unshaved creature stepped , forth.
" There, gentlemen, there's the Earl of Warwick ;
look at him ; take off your hat! I am ashamed of
you, my lord, to see you standing there with your
hat on. There, gentlemen, look what a head that
is for a coronet! Well, my old fellow, take care of
them chaps; give them something to warm them
selves with. Now, you rascals, all of you get up
and give three cheers for the American flag."
At this they arose, dld. as requested, sad we
amended to the street, where the mobbed been !n
-arrated by nearly all the residents of this loath
vice alley.
"Now clear the street there, will you?" cried
the pollee. A way was opened, and we hastened
through the cut-throat looking crowd. When we
wore fairly out, Mr. Field turned to us and said,
"Those, gentlemen, every one of those fellows in
a title!. Were either of you to go down there
Rhine. , you would never oome up alive ; they would
mostes ertalnly murder you."
Turning a corner and traversing another long
alley, we came to a kitchen, in which wore mum
men talking and playing cards. Ascending the
clukety stairs of an old out-house near by, we were
shown some bed-rooms; here was' room lt by 8
feet, in which they usually lodged thirty-two peo
ple—mon, women, and children. The miserable
areeturec were lying on the floor, some having no
covering but an old piece of linen, while others
were not protected so much as that. Tho room
was perfectly dark, but with the assistance of the
strong lights which the policemen carried, we were
enabled to ilistinguish all the objects. Upon our
entrance, some of the boarders raised themselves
on their arms, and looked inquiringly at us. Seeing
who wo were, they lay down again for another
nap. An old Irish woman, who said she wan the
proprietor, asked for a few pennies to " keep a lone
wilder from starving;" these were given her, and
with her "God bless you!" wo loft. The atmosphere
of this room was sickening in the extreme ; we
were nil glad to get a taste of fresh air upon our,
descent to the street.
Frpm this place wo went to arothor, where a
repetition of the former sights met our oyes.
There was a small window in the mein ; near it
was au old box, the most desirable place for sleep
ing. An extra charge was made for this spot.
Thence on to another—noisome, filthy, disgust
ing, and sickening the extreme.
After this we left this street for a different one,
in which, after turning through dirty lanes, came
to a dilapidated portal ; this we entered, and pro
ceeded along a narrow, dark, and broken-down
passage to a small room. Mere were seated ten
men. A young girl stepped up to Mr. Field, and
said, " Allow me to show ties gentlemen our bed-
NOM ?" "Who are you ?" said Field. "Ch,
sir," with a curtesy, " I am maid of all work."
" Oh ! very well ; we do not care about Heil* the
room tomight ; bat here's a bob (shilling) to drink
our health with." On the wall I noticed, in large
letters, "Lodgings for single gentlemen, thi.
a-head."
We thou visited another lodging house, kept by
Patrick Carnally. Tho rooms were about,the same
size no those we had seen before, and lodged the
sumo number of people. After this, to a small,
decayed tenement. In the kitchen were seven
mon, all broken-down cab-drivers. All looked
,miserable and spiritless. They were seated around
the room, doing nothing. In this place, by paying
one penny, they could come and sit all night, and
have the benefit of a candle and shelter. We
also inspected the bed-rooms.
We were then told by Mr. Field, before taking
our seats in the cabs, that wo had soon what is
called the Rookery of St. Giles, and " here Is the
spot which Charles Dickens has drawn upon for
many of the scones In Oliver Twist, and that is the
house," pointing to an, old ruined building, " the
description of which he has token for Fagin's rosi•
donee. Now, driver, to the old Mint in the Borough
over the river."
Arrived at the other side, at the request of ono
of the party, we stopped at the station-house and
took a view of the cells; in one, was a man ar
rested for murder ; ho sat on the floor, and kept
his hoed down when the door was opened. In
others, drunken teen and women. Ono of the lat.
tar was screaming for a cup of water, at the emus
time sho baitt bucket full by her. This was the
station-N.lo , in which Mrs. Manning received her
charge; she was arrested by Inspector Shippey,
who, in her youthful days, had known her well.
Ile gave us a graphic and interesting description of
her seizure.
From the station, we drove to a small house, in
the kitchen of which were a number of men. One
was making toasting forks of wire, another sowing
a pair of pantaloons, and a third was standing by a
blazing tiro. Re was called "the artist ;" his voca
tion was this : In the morning ho started out, and
finding a suitable place, drew with chalk, on the
sidewalk, different designs ; he sat there until some
of his associates came, from one of whom ho re
received a :shilling for his work, and then started
I or another place, where he repeated the drawings
and sold them again. By this means he was able to
make a few shillings In the course of the day. The
parohasersof the designs were repaid by the chari
table passers-by, who threw them pennies, for what
they supposed to be their work, and; no doubt, many
parsons think they are encouraging merit when
they bestow money on those poor, miserable crea
tures they see sitting on the pavement, before
graceful scrolls and pretty landeopes.
Leaving this, we were taken to Jaok Sheppard's
house, and saw the house in which Joe Bluoskin
resided. It was very old, and had three large semi.
olsoular windows projecting over the sidewalk,
and, as well as a number near it, is uninhabited,
except by rata, who turned and faced us as we
walk() I throUgh the dull, eel& ehoorlees, and
empty rooms. 'the rafter , . that tool, mouldered
away, piolomeal, during a long mica of years, now
protruded. through the die;:y mortar, a great por
tion of which . trod likewise fallen down in flaky
fragments and left the brick work bare, battered,
and open to view,
Going down a short and narrow street, we en
tered what was once Jack Sheppard's domicile. 'I he
lower story was the only part that was peopled;
hete were five men. Upon Mr. Field addressing
ono of them, whose name was Samuel Bright, be
said, " Gentlemen, all you see here, in this ancient
and renowned building, does not amount to much;
but yet there are men whose souls have been tried.
I, for myself, em no leveller of ranks I admire
the consistency of Hume ; his work I have been
perusing and inwardly digesting, and have arrived
at the ultimate conclusion that society has depreci
ated very much since his time; but yet Iwouid
not have the coroneted queen or lofty noble consort
with the low and depraved creature who begs from
door to door for a pittance to sustain life in all its
horrors, and, after dragging out a miserable exist
ence, lays him down to die. No! I ask not for
this; society will find its own level, and it behooves
us not to contemplate for an instant or to endeavor
to pervert the will of a Divine Providence. Gentle
men, I feel a great (tendency in my oratorical
powers ; had I them fully developed, I should has
ten my departure for America, there turn poll.
Sedan, and wield the sword of Justice." We were
all much surprised at hearing this language ema
nating from such an unlooked-for source; but were
told that be was the son of a nobleman, and was
called a "Cadger," that is, he lived by begging
through the country.
In another kitchen there worn twenty.foar men
seated by a TO. On the wall my eye cangbt Ibe
following :
RULES OVJUIN MUIR
No water to be taken out of the boilers except
for ton or coffee.
No washing to be done on Sunday.
No card•playing before six o'clock in the morn.
leg, or after ten o'clock in the evening.
No preen allowed to go up stairs after ton o'clock
in the morning.
All strangere to pay before using this kitoben.
"Ah! my boys, ail right to nitht ! Deputy,
just show us the rot ms," was the first remark of
Field. Again we are taken up shaking stairs into
small rooms in which were low truckle beds. The
Deputy" had a candle in an old porter bottle
with this, he walked from. bed to bed, disclosing a
sleeper in each ; on all the sheets I noticed the
words "STOP THIEF !" The reflections of a noted
author on this subject came into my mind: "To lie
at night wrapped in the legend of my slinking life;
to take the cry that pursues me waking, to my
breast in sleep; to have it staring at me, and
clamoring for me as soon as consciousness returns ;
to have it for my first foot on New Year's day, my
Valentine, my blrth•day salute, my Christmas
greeting, my parting with the old year—Etror
Truer."
Upon coming out of this house, Mr. Field pointed
to an old farm house, "There is the old Manor
House of these parts; it stood in the wintry once."
We did not eater here, but ail we were going down
the alley met the proprietress; her name was Mrs.
Phillips ; she bid us good night and passed on. As
we wore informed, we were then in dangerous
quarters ; this was the scene of many a midnight
murder. Vent.
Letter from Missouri.
[Correspondence of The Press.]
Sr. JOSIPH, Mo., November 2.5, 1859
As you frequently Rehash oommunieations from
Superior City, St. Paul's, Council Bluffs, and other
prominent points In the North and West, a few
lines from this place would, perhaps, not be ureic
eoptable to your readers. This oily Iles on the
north side of the Missouri, and contains about six
teen thousand inhabitants. It Is near six hundred
miles by river, and three hundred and six miles
by railroad, from St. Louis. It is the largest place
west of St. Louis, and is rapidly inoreasini in
population and wealth. It has all the °harass
teristics of a thriving young city, and work
men are busily employed laying pavements,
Macadamising streets, and making other •no
°emery improvementr Quite a number of
tine stores, hotels, and dwelling-houses are
In process of erection, and will be ready' for
occupancy by next spring. The Pater House is
worthy of special notice, as it is certainly one of
the fluent buildings in the West. It is one hundre&
and forty by one hundrel and fifty feet front, font
stories high, and contains something like one hun
dred and fifty rooms, capable of nemommodating
three hundred guests. The house is elegantly fur
nished, and is, in every respect, a firabeiess hotel.
The proprietor, Mr. H W. Alden, Is favorably
known to Pennsylvanians, as being for eighteen
years connected with the Monongahela House,
Pittsburg. The other hotels here, although not so
large, are generally welt•kept, and doing a good
business. The people here live well, as the cents.
try round produces the finest grain and vegetaltles,
and game and all kinds of provisions are abunditnt.
A stroll through the market house, of a susy
morning, would convince any one that everything,
and of the best quality, can b. had, that the most
fastidious taste would require.
This city receives nearly all the trade of the
towns on the tipper Missouri, Leavenworth, Omaha,
Nebraska City, and Council Bluffs. It also shares
with bt. Louts the trade of southern Missouri and
the Kansas rive; towns.
Its excellent railroad facilities, being the teimal
nu of the Ilannibal and St. Joseph Railread,'and
only eighteen hours distant by the substa 4 tial
broad gauge railroad from St. Louis, enable the
merchants here to supply their customer' frith
goods almost u cheaply as they-can be purchased
at the latter place. A. largo proportion of the
goods shipped here are bought in Philadelphia, and
lam glad to find your merchants have their payee
open to the importance of the trade here. A heavy
business wilt be done here in the spring in addition
to the regular trade, as it will be the general fi tting
out point of parties emigrating to Kansas and the
gold mines.
A large number of miners are returning to their
homes to winter in the States, but neatly all ex•
press their intention to return to the gold field/
again in the spring. The oilstones of gold, in
large quantities, at Pike's Peak, to now an esta
blished fact. Mr. W. Villard, eorrespoudont o r the
St. Louis Republican, lately returned from . the
mines, and at present in this city, and who is well
posted in all that relates to the affairs of Jefferson
Territory and the gold diggings, told me the country
vratynot nearly all prospected, and that it was the
opinion of many experienced miners, as well as
himself, that more of the precious metal exists' yet
undiscovered than the people of the States have
any idea of or aro willing to believe.
There are three daily and two weekly papers
published here, and as all have a reasonable sub
loription list and do a large advertising business,
they appear to be '• going on their way rejoicing."
Success to the craft. The place is well cup sited
with laxyers and doctors, but there is pledty of
room yet for enterprising, energetic young men to
push ahead in the professions. The wages of me
chanics and laboring men generally, are good; and
for mon of limited means, who desire to invest their
money in real estate, I do think that Northwestern
Missouri offers as fair,inducementa as can bo found
anywhere in the West. Tho laud la of first-rate
quality, and can be had for reasonable pricei. A
great many go farther West, while they could do
just es well here, and have the advantage of a hotter
market. Of course, everybody is in favor of the
early construction of the Paciflo Railroad. and all
are united in the belief that theirs, the middle or
Platte River route, is'infinitely to be preferred to
any other yet proposed.
Tho City Council have called a meeting, to be
hold next week, to give a more decided eipression
to the sentiments of the people of Western! Mis
souri on this important matter, and in n manner to
respond to the Railroad Convention held is San
Francisco in September. Everything appears
quiet in political circles. The more violent Of the
pro-slavery mon will not bo satisfied with anything
short of Congressional intervention for the ptoteck
tion of slavery in the Territories. Bat the late
events, particularly the Northern elections, cannot
fail to convince any reflecting Southern Democrat
that to nominate a' candidate on a platform incor
porating such a dogma is the sheerest folly.
Captain James Craig. member of Congress from
this district, left for Washington yesterday. The
Captain is a talented and popular gentleman, and
will refleCt honor upon the people ho represents.
Yours, J. M. B.

the Newark Daily Advertiser, under date of No.
vember 6, 1859, says :
~ The American circle here has been sadly be
reaved ibis week by the death of Mr. Win. Henry
II
Beck, of Philadelphia. He died rather tied only,
after a brief Illness, on Tuesday morning, n the
thirty-sixth year of his ago. The funeral so emni-
ties were performed on Thursday by Rev. Mr.
O'Neill, chaplain of the British legation, and ho

MknieSO, hiinneeotll, NOT 4 22,1850.
Of all the falls I have ever experienced, this,
Without exception, has been tha *ost delightful:
It really seemed 04 though snowier, loth to leave,
was determined to encroach on the colder months
and remain with, us. It hes been characterised by
its remarkable mildness and exemption from rains;
although generally we are not visited much by
rainS, yet the contrast with last year at this time
it groat, This is one of the remarkable features
of this northwestern climate;. whilst you in the
East have weather to provoke consumption, bron
chitis, and other troublesome and dangerous
eseases, 'we are comparatively' , removed from all
danger. The inducement's hereeffered to the in
valid are much greater than tliose of the Southern
States. We are, therefore, betaonaing competitors
of the South, and will eventually Mks from it muoth
of that travel which has bean erect mueir ptenniary,
advantage in days gone by. We are becoming ro
closely linked, with the Atlantic States, that we
can go from here to Philadelphia in two or three
days lose time than it used to take to go from
Pittsburg to your city. We are witbip one bun
di..ed and fifty miles of the railroad which connects
with the Eastern lines, and during beating Ma
me statement' ply daily between here and Saint
Paul, and connecting with the Mississippi boats.
When the railroad is completed between here and
La Crosse, the distance will be Mater/411Y lessened. ,
and enabling ns to roach youroity in two days and
a half. There is now a line of tri-weekly sta,ges
carrying the mall across the country, and also e
dolly mail line by the way of Saint Paul.
The general condition or the country is Wish bet
ter than a year ego—in fact,better tban it has been
for two years past ; instead of having to send large
amounts Of money on{ for grain and flour, as here
tofore, we stand now in the light of exporters In
stead of importers; and It is estimated that a mil
lion and a half surplus of grain has been raised in
the State during the past year. In Blue Earth
county, fire times ,as much grain bas been
raised Is driving any previous year, some of
which is being ' honght up to ship in th• spring.
The farmers can readily dispose of their produce
at the stores for groceries or goods at fair prices.
It is said that tho Minnesota Crops are far superior
this year to these of any of the neighboring States.
The avenge yield of wheat to the acre in Illinois,
I am informed, was only eight bushels—in Minne
sota twenty-five. At the Agricultural Fair, which
was held in the beginning of lest month, I saw a
sample of wheat whichyielded forty bushels to the
acre; also, a sample of oats, theyield of widish tin
seventy-five buthels to the acre. And it must be
taken into consideration that it was without the
expense and labor of fertilisers;. for the soil is ea
rich that the aid of manure will not he needed
for years to come. Some little wheat, at an ave
rage weight of sixty-fire pounds to the bushel, has
bun sold, but In consequence or the dispropor

holding back; in seme Instances having it manu
factured into flour. The facilities for grinding
grain baring been very much Increased in the
county, hoar is not commanding as high price as a
year ego.
For the Information of your readers I will give

BF.-ELECTION OF BVCRANAx.—The New Orleans
True Delta, referring to the efforts of Mr, Bu:
chasten to secure a re-election, Jays:
Wo heartily rejoice that this Is so; we are
truly glad to find the favored son of the( Old
Keystone State' resolved to test the question of
the popularity of his Admiestrationlefere a Na
tional Convention; and deservedly poor as his
chancre, in our opinion, are; unworthy as we es
teem his official career to have been thus far, we,
nevertheless, cheerfully concede that, compared
with adboreats In and out of racial life, and con
nected or unconuebted with his Cabinet, who are,
likei himself, aspiring to a nomination, he Is as
Ilyperion to a Satyr. The candidacy ofßnshanan,
besides, will be the proper way to test, net the
sentiment of the Democratic party, which he has
menoged to divide and destroy, but the sense of
the country at large as to the merits and demerits,
nationally viewed, of his Administration; and It
is because we so believe, we receive his •nacaneed
nomination for re•oleotlon with unfeigned asstsfas
tiou.
"Among the entire Democratic representation
in the Congress about to convene, there aro not,
perhaps, a baker's dozen of atrietly Administra-
Goa supporters—that character having been suffi
cient, it would seem, to cause the exclusion from
Congress of monv otherwise well-fitted for legiele
tiro honors; while it tea note-worthy feet. we be
lieve, that no Demoerat of the eighteenwho divi•
ded last Congress against the Administration upon
the deficiency bill, has failed to obtain a renewal
of the confidene• of hie constituents. For all that,
Buchanan has a right to make a direct Appeal to
the country for a - decision noon tha merits of his
pretensions, and we are delighted to find Mat tak
ing the initiatory steps for the peepers@ before the
Charleston Convention, although we 'lncubi pre
fer to see him make the issue before the peo
ple themselves, independent of Conventions, for
in that war only, perhaps, can his exact political
!tales be determined, or the claims of his Admini
stration to public gratitude be decided. There is
much reason to fear, also, that if he submita his
claims for re-election to a Convention, its members
may he more solicitous for 'party @emcees thaw Pre
sidential vindication ; and thinking, possibly, that
he cannot again reach the White Rouse, while some
other person may, the Convention may overlook
his wishes and decline a risk the cost of which
looks so alarmingly disproportionate to any gain
which can accrue from It. For this reason, we
would have advised the good old Buck to have ap
pealed at once to the people, and, instead of put
ting hirriself before a Convention, had his name
placed before the public by the office-holders and
retainers of Government in the various States of
the Confederacy."
'LT The Richmond Enquirer of the 2d inst. has
the following editorial remarks in regard to the
execution of John Brown
" 'Tts Max.—Virginia has vindicated her out
raged laws by the execution of John Brown, the
leader of the liarper's Ferry raid.
" We anode to this execution not for the purpose
of exultation, ; we hope we are incapable of enter
taining any such feeling; we vex not his ghost,'
but. in recording the event,we desire the Abolition
world to know that their offers of bribe, their
proffers of political preferment, their threats of
vengeance, their entreaties for mercy, have all
proved of no avail
" If the oxeoution as criminal makes that felon
a martyr, Virginia is prepared to incur all the con
sequences of that martyrdom; if from his grave
route the bloody results to the South so often
threatened; if from his blood spring the armed
awsaasins of A bol ition revenge, wo have only to;oy,
Virginia will meet those results with rope,, for
which South Carolina grows the cotton, and Kens
tuck• the hemp.
" We hope conservatism may now rally to the
cause of the Union, and exhibit some of that 'Mau.
once so often boasted as still potent at the North.
Conservatism has given place to fanaticism quite
long enough; it Lehigh time to assert its pretended
supremacy, or acknowledge Its reel impotency.
We hope the gallows of John Brown may as ef
feeteally rally the conservatives as Lt assuredly
will the fanatics."
