The motion was seconded by Mr. HanliSH, and carried usan".moutly. OPENING OF THE FLEET DITCH. The report of the surveyor, in reference to the complaint of the inhabitants of the Crescent in New Bridge-street, in ecotone nee of the opening made in it by the Fleet Ditch, to enable certain repairs to be performed, wee then read. Mr. li• ywood, after enlarging upon the importance of this sewer, stis :--°. I beet directed the hole complained of to be closely hoarded in, and deodorising powders to be used ; and beyond this nothing tan be done, except fleeing it altogether." The 3letnexbOrrtexte said there could be no question that the opening of the sewers was a source of offensive nee unwholesome effluvia, though perhaps the degree might be somewhat over estimated by the neighb Mrs ; and if the works were unnecessary, there could be no doubt about the fitness of immediately closing them. (Hear, hear.) Whatever the present evil might be, a per manently unsound condition of the Fleet sewer would be a much greater evil, allowing soakage] and undermining homes. (Hear, hear.) Tae report was then received, and the court adjourned. CORPORATION REFORM. Subjoined is the copy of a letter which has been Manua to the Lord Mayor by Mr. Coleridge, the Secre tary to the Royal Couuniuioners appointed to inquire into the state of the corporation of the City of London. It is somewhat remarkable that the letter does not state the date when the commissioners will assemble, whilst the para graph with reference to supplying printed copies of the evi dence to the persons " more particularly in'erested in the proceedings" would seem to indicate that those proceedings are to bo conducted in private. if this is to be the ease, the inquiry will not probably prove very satisfactory to, or mint much the sympathies of, the public : " Downing-street, Oct. 22. " My Lnrd,—l am directed by the commissioners for in quitieg into the state of the eorporation of the City of Lou den, to inform your lordship that at their first meeting, which they have held this day at the OiliCiA residence of the Fret Lord of the Treasury, they have taken into consi deration the coarse of their future proceedings. As full documentary evidence with regard to the consti tution of the City of London, up to a very recent period, already (mists in an authentic form,the commimioners purpose to commence their investigation with receiving the evidence of persons who may have complaints to make, or attentions to suggest, with respect to the present state of the corpora ties. At a',,futan stage of thelinqniry the commissioners will be prepared to examine the Akan of the corporation. With a view to afford the requisite information as speedily as possible to the persons more particularly inte rested to the proceedings of the commissiOn, the commis sioners will take steps to communicate to them printed co pies of the evidence taken beton them from time to time.

LCSTEXX QUESIIO.V. -•• • - A crowded meeting of the inhabitants of Pimlico sad Westminster was held yesterday afters ran is the lec ture hall of the Athemeam Literary Institution, Mr. Smaturroar, of the Synder &hoot Ut:or, in the their. Mr. FiLANCIS Town moved the first recilutiun, namely, "That this meeting ia of opinion that the conduct of the Cur Nicholu, his ambassadors, and armes, is apposed to common justice, international law, and untrersui right." Mr. Ebw.ttio RouNh, the secretary of the Westminster ,theateurn, seconded the resolution. The resolution was carried by acclamation. The next resolution was as follows :—" That this meeting is of opinion that the want of energy and immediate dad, 'ion et - i4eneed by the Aberdeen of public censure." is dc set ving Mr. LA U r. proposed as an amendment—" That con. eidering all the circumstances connected with the Eastern question, the conduct of the government is we:thy of natioual approbation." Like Lucius of old. he disagreed with the many, Semproniuses who shouted so loudly for war. He hoped the question would ell, be settled without any al.pral to arms. (Hear, bear.) The day for war. when war could be avoided, bad passed, and perhaps experience had taught the aged premier the costliness of war, and that it was to be avoided at almost any sacrifice. Mr. WILLOUGHBY seconded the amendment ami I st some interruption ; and after some discussion, the original resole ties was carried, there being only two hands held up for the amendment. A vote of thanks to the chairman termi nated the proceedings. LORD CLARENDON AND THE SHIPOWNERS OF NIIIELDS. The following reply bee been given by the liArl of Clarendon, in answer to a let•er from tte store to ciety " Foreign-oface, Oct. 22, 16.;3. " Sir,-1 am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to ac knowledge the receipt of the letter dated the 14th instant, in which, on the part of the Shipowners' Society of North Shields, you call his lordship's attention to the Gunther et British vessels trading with ports in the Baltic and Black Sea ; and in which you also ask to be informed whether, in the event of hostilities between this country and Russia sufficient notice would be given to enable British vessels to clear cut of Russian ports in time to avoid capture ; and also request to be informed whether Lord Clarendon consi ders the present state of affairs so critical as to wake it ex pedient for the Society of Underwriters to prohibit the chartering and sailing of vessels for Russian ports. " I am to state to you in reply that there dots not exist any treaty stipulation between this country and Russia, by which the giving such a notice as that to which you refer is made oblistatory on either government ; and the, with re spect to the general questions, whilst it is of course impos sible tor her Majesty's government to answer for future coatinencies, wild; might depend on the conduct of others, her Majesty's government will neglect no step in their power which may cmduce to the security of the made of this country. •• With regard to the last point referred to in your let ter, narraly, the question of the amount awarded to British ships of war in cases of recapture of a British Teasel from an enemy, 1 am to state to you that this is a Braes ques tion of law and policy upon which Lord Clarendon does not feel himself called upon to express any opinion.

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING TILE WEEK --• The Registrar-General'a weekly return shows that • thousand and fifty-four deaths were registered in London in the week that ended on Saturday. In the ten corre sponding weeks of the years 1543-52 the average number was 958, which, with • correction for increase of population, becomes 1,054. It happens that the actual mortality of last week, and a ealeul•tion founded on the average of the same week in former years, present in this case identical results. It will be seen with regret that the deaths from cholera, which had declined in the two previous weeks from 66 to 4.5, rcse again last week to 83. 40 males and 43 females perished by this disease. The districts on the south side of the river still assert their fatal pre-eminence, 49 out of the whole number of cases having occurred there ; Rother hithe, Dattessea, St. Saviour, St. George, are the parts of that division which suffered most. The deaths from cho lera in London in the corresponding week of 1548 were 38. The public have teen frequently cautioned against indul pnee in spiritous liquors at periods of epidemic cholera. The readen of the registrars' notes, published from week to week, will find too many instances in which this advice has been neglected. A person drinks to excess, in a few hours he is suffering from an attack of diarrhers, and the disease ruse through its several stages to a fatal termina tion. When cholera is at the door temperance in the use of intoxicating liquors, and an almost total abstinence from gin and other spirits, becomes extremely necessary for the preservation of life. It is admitted that dianhara generally precedes cholera ; that there are few, if any, exceptions to the rule. But it is of importance both to establish the rule, and show its ex tent, by a mar of observations accuretely recorded. It is therefore desirable that medical informants should inquire specially in all cues whether the attack of cholera com ment= by "diarrhoea," and state the interval of time in hours and days between the appearance of climber s and the supervention of spasms, or of the other characteristic symptoms of cholera. _ _ The sixth aonivereary dinner of the supporters of the tore charitable institution, took piece yesterday at the L.ndca Tavern, and was one of the most tally attended sad best supported of the season. Nearly all the heads of the building trade were present, sad the amount of the sebscriptioas proved the sums of the president's appeal en behalf of the iutitatioa. The chair was taken by Press ROL?, If/q, M.P. ; and the following eminent Sr., were repessssted at the &neer : Peto, Cubitt, Gress!, Dowsoa,Forrest, Piper, °Airedale, Jackass, Locke, Todd, Jos. Higgs, G. Spencer, Smith, Wm. Lees, M.P. Newshans, Myers, Sewell, Byron, Dummage, Tyumen, Potter. It. Forrest, Peters, Smith, Nowhere', Newsome, sen. tad jun., &a. The health of the Clues caving been duly honoured, as well u the other customary toasts, the chairman proceeded to call attention to the merits of the Institution, in whose behalf they had assembled that day. He felt the more ooa6deese in doing SO, OS seeing himself surrounded by men who had given the building trade such madames by their energy sad success. (Cheers.) But they should remember that trade was fall of viciseitudes, and that many who were now ti.e recipients of their charity bad once been as pros perous as any of the present company. (Hear, hear.) At this moment the institution numbered 72 pensioaen, but he would also remind the company that at the last meeting of the committee several applicants were rejected from de ficiency of funds. He trusted that this evening'. subscrip tion would placer these poor people beyond the reach of want. (Hear, hear.) List week the 83 deaths from cholera occurred as fuL Iowa: In the west districts (population, 376,427) 2; in the north (population, 490,396), 5 ; in the central (population, 393,256), 3 ; in the east (population, 485,322), 24; and in those on the south side of the Thames (population, 616,638), 49. " The Chairman," " The President," " The Brighton Breech," and other toasts were successively given and an luwwiedged, after which subscriptions were announced to the amount of SOU Last week the births of 743 boys end 720 girls, in all 1,463 children were registered in London. The average number in eight eorrespondine weeks of the years 1845-62 was 1,400. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer In the week was 29.357 in. The mean temperature was 48 6 deg., which is slightly below the average of the sum week in 38 years. The mean tempera ture rose from 47.6 deg. on Thursday to 67.6 deg. on Satur day ; the latter is 8.0 deg. above the avenge. It was be low the average on the first an days of the week. The mean difference between the dew-point temperature and air temperature was 2.8 deg. The wind was generally in the south-west. Wmsoit notice has been given le Tiaiton to the Cutle that it will be closed on and after Monday nett until further tittles. THE SHIP ;Gs.—The body of Mrs. Butterworth, wife of the late commander of the Dal housie, which, as our readers will recollect, was wrecked off Beachey Head this :day se'tnight, was picked up on Monday by some fishermen belonging to Hastings. The body was discovered floating face downwards, about two miles from the shore, and when taken on board the fishing smack presented a fresh life-like appearance, the cheeks being quite ruddy, like those of a person in the bloom of health. Deceased had on a chemise, marked with the Oulu. " E. 8.," a night dress, flannel petticoat, stockings, and laced boots. She had two gold ear drops fastened in bet ears, and two plain gold finger rings were discovered in the smack after her removal from it, which were supposed b have fallen or been taken from her fingers. An inquest was held on the body yesterday, in the Town Hall, before John Neaps, Esq., deputy coroner, at the clime of which the jury returned a verdict of " Found drowned." De ceased was 34 years of age, and was a remarkably hand mme woman. Several articles belonging to the unfortu rate vessel have been cast upon the beach at Hastings, in cuding a trunk, much damaged ; a care of spy glasses, a atity of clothing, a mahogany writing desk, having a kass lid plate, with the name " John Kay" engraved on i: • and a parchment label for a trunk, inscribed " T. It. ?hose, surgeon, ship Dalhousie." SUSPECTED MURDER IN GUERNSET.—A dreadful carder is believed to have been committed in Guernsey. The victim is • respectable lone widow woman, named Tangoes, who lived in a place called the Canichers. The coroner's verdict was as f illows :—" That the deceased was found burnt near her bed, having on her head &Mins wound, which appears to have been inflicted before her death, it appearing also that the burning must have com menced before life was extinct, and there are strong sus picions that death has been caused by force and violence." Two men, named Limner, alas Telmer, and Simon have been apprehended on suspicion. The body of Mrs. Langoa was discovered in her bed-room smouldering on Wednes day last. Her house was robbed, and many of the thing s stolen have been found near the residence of Twee!. Telmer is a clerk in the engineer department, in Fort -Gime, in the island. THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 26, 1853. THE WAGES MOVEMENT. THE LONDON LONDON BOOT AND SHOE MAKERS. Lad night a meeting of the journeymen boot and shoe-makers was held at.,the Druid's Hall, Snow Hill, to tale into consideration a circular lately issued by the em ployers. Mr. ACLAND took the chair. lie was sorry there were no employers present; they had been invited to attend, and if they had done so, he was sure they would have been met by fair discussion. He considered their absence showed they were wrong on the question now under discussion. Mo. WILSON moved • resolution to the effect, " That the meeting expressed their most emphatic disapproval of there hostile proceedings, as being uncalled for and unjust, whilst at the same time they highly approved of the peace able and prudent manner in which the journeymen had conducted their late strike, and that the meeting further assured them of their, b earty support." Throughout the country advances in the pries of labour had been made without a reactionary movement—(cheer.), and the sich muter. of London had alone stood against this act of justice towards the men. (Cheers.) He called upon the meeting to show they would stand togetherifor their rightsen they did in 1838, and if the masters broke faith they would rise again at a future time. (Tremendous cheering.) Mr. WAILBLAND seconded the ?volution. Mr. EVANS, an employer, then addressed the meeting. He bad been _pleased at their demeanour during the whole movement. Their demands were reasonable, and they de served all they asked. (Cheers.) He strongly disapproved of the circular complained of, sad thought that it masters and men would meet and calmly discuss their grie fences, they might be easily adjusted. (Hear.) He believed that boot:makers, who worked on an average 13 or 14 hours a day, were the most ill paid class in sentence. (Hear.) He would give their movement his hearty support. (Liud cheers.) The resolution was carried unanimously. Several other workmen having addressed the meeting, which was a very large one, a vote of thanks to the chair man terminated the proceedings. THE ATTEMPT TO MURDER IN PARE-STREET, KINNINOTOS.—Hannah Grinney is going on favourably, according to reports from Guy's Hospital. It will be re membered that the unfortunate woman was severely cut about the neck and hands in struggling with her husband, James Grinney, daring hie attempt to murder her on Tuesday morning, at their residence, No. 35, Park-street. The wounds are not of so serious a nature as was at first •ppppnnheaded. The house surgeon stets' that she will be sulseiently recovered to attend the examination of her hus band at the Lambeth Polite-court on Monday next. BRITISH AND FOREIGN BIBLE SOCIETY. BIBLES FOR CHINA. Yesterday a very numerously attended meeting of the subvcribers and friends of this society was held in the Egyptian-hall, at the Mansion-house, to celebrite its jubilee year (the society haying been established in the ychr 1S0.1), and to assist in rai.ing a fund to be appropriated to the circulation of the Scriptures in China. The Earl of Shafteo , ury, Mr. R. Spooner, MP . Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Vire, and a numb. r of City gi men and clergymen (both of the established church and the various Protestant dissenting sects) were on the I,:siforin The body of the hell was almos: exclusively occupied by ladies. The Res. Gro. Raow:i (one of the secretaries of the sxiety) haying opened the Du inns of the day by Dialog e nue passages of Scripture, read letters of apology trow tbe Archbishop of Caaterbury, Lord John Russell, Mr. Labou chere, M.P. (who enclosed 231.), Mr. Fortner (who for warded 1001), and Mr. Thornton, the treasurer of the society, alleging illness or business as the cause of their absence. The LORD MeVon said he tilt very great pleasure in having the opportunity of presiding at a meeting of this society, and a great hoaeur to contribute in a humble degree to the promotion of its glorious purposes. TRW were cir cumstances of peculiar interest in the present meeting. This was the jubilee year of the society, and it was desirable, when they celebrated those rare recurring periods,that they should 1114111ille w Nether the objects (Attie society were stiel the same, in what way its proceedings Ind been car ' lied on, what had been the extent of its wetulnese, and whether it presented the same claims upon public atten lion that it did fifty year ago. All these queetions could be answered satisfactorily. At the present time the num ber of branch societies in connection with the parent so ciety was 8,:122, end the languages into which the scriptures were now tmoslated, anal in which the society had pro moted the distribution, iniating, or translation of theme as not less than 150, whines', when the society was tire established, the translati i.s of the Bible, hi whole, or in part, extended only to abut 50 languages. (Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he called attention to the opening which was afforded by present events in China for the circulation of the Scriptures there, end to the proposal fur sending them a million copies of the New Testament in the Chinese lan guage, obeervirg that as they might be sold at 4d. per copy, they would be thus brought within the reacts of all classes of the population of :hat empire. He thnucht the City of Landon, leukiag at its vast wealth, and the cent menial benefits it derive. from the opening of the Cline trade ought to provide the means for furnishirg this million of Testaments. (Cheers.) The Rev. Mr. 'incises then presented to his lordship the copy of the Bible, from which the passage of Scripture by winch the meeting bed been opened had been read, as an acknowledgment for his aid and countenance to the society, and fur his kindness in presiding on the present occasion. Ills LORDSHIP briefly acknowledged the comiliment. The Rev. ltuneur Futter then read a statement of the purposes oh the meeting, tae history of the society, and an nouncing that the aggregate of the Jubilee fund raised up to the present time was 32,0001. The Earl of Susere-ecue, who was loudly cheered, appealed to the meeting to support a misty whose ob ject was to dispense to others that Word of Clod which had wen the means of blessing this country with internal peace and civil and religious freedom. (Hear, hear.) The Hon. and Rev. Canon VILLIERS moved a resolution acknowledging the labours and the success of the society, welcoming its year of jubilee, and praying Gad to multiply its resources and its usefulness, which, having been seconded by Ae Rev. Dr. Tidosen, was carried unanimously, as was another proposed by Mr. Samuel Gurney, and seconded by Mr. Alderman and Sheriff Wire, declaring it eo be the duty and privilege of Great Britain to use all her opportunities and influence to promote the widest possible circulation, both at home and abroad, of that Holy Book to which she owed so much of her social, civil, and religions pre-etniamice. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor, moved by Mr. R. Bevan and seconded by the Rey. Dr. Becham, wale then put and carried by acclamation, and after a brief acknowledg ment from his lordship the meeting separated. Amongst the subscriptions announced was one of 1001. from Mr. Bevan. BERDAN'S GOLD•CRUSHI\'G MACHINE. Yesterday a very large number of gentlemen and a few ladies attended, on the invitation of Mr. Berdan, to witness hie newly invented machine for pulverising, wash ing, and amating gold and other ores, in operation at the Windsor Iron Works, City toad. The construction of the apparatus is simple. It consists of a cast-iron basin, seven feet in diameter, revolving upoc an inclined ails or shalt. In this basin are placed two cut iron balls, the larger one 31 inches in diameter, and weigh ing two and a half tons, the smaller one 24 inches in dia. meter, and weighing one ton. Under the basin, and at tached to and revolving with it, is a furnace of conical form. The whole, being bung in a strong framework of timber, receives motion from hand, horse, or steam power, by means of simple ceg-gearing. The operation is as follows : fire is made in the furnace beneath the basin ; quicksilver is placed in the basin, and the auriferous ore thrown in, in lumps of considerable sire. The apparatus is then set in motion; the balls, by their gravity, revolving in a direction opposite to that of the basin. The two balls, moving in contact with each other and with the inclined bottom of the basin, receive a spiral as well as a rotary motion—a combination which is found to possess the greatest efficiency in the pulverisation of the ore. The ore is brought under the balls, and instantly crushed to an impalpable powder. The crashing is effected, of course, at the point of contact between the large ball and basin, and below the surface of the mercury. Thus, the moment the gold is diaeugaged, it comes in contact with pure and heated mercury, which seises upon it, and secures every particle. The refuse powder rues to the surface of the quicksilver, whence it is carried off, in the form of • thin paste, by a small stream of water, which runs in at the upper sae et the basin, and escapes through suitable open ings, just below its rim, into a trough placed for the pur pose. The tailings may thus be preserved for analysis if desired. _ . The novel features of the machine are both mechanical and chemical. The arrangement of an inclined revolving buin in connexion with balls of corresponding size and weight, produces a rolling and grinding motion never here tofore attained, and as efficient as it is new. The chemical novelty consists in the heating of the mercury, which greatly increases its affinity for the gold. The result of the combination of these features is, that every particle of gold is secured. Thus the machine erudite, washes, and amalgamates at one and the same operation. It has been found that a ma chine consisting of four basin; in one frame will pulverise, wash, and amalgamate 40 tons of ore, of average hardness. in ten bouts with 15-horse power; but any number of humus may be used in one frame, nod driven by one main shaft. The esperimeut of yesterday was made with a two basin frame, in one of which 4441b5. of Poltimore ore was placed, and 3201b5. of ere from mines in Merionethshire, were placed. The operation commenced at 12 o'clock, and was over at 2, the result being that in that short period two " nuggets " of pure gold wen produced—that from the Pohlman ore weighing 5 dwta. 11 _grains, and that from the Welsh ore weighing 51 dwts. The operation excited the greatest interest amongst the visitors, several of them being persona of high scientific reputation. The experi ment was considered to be entirely successful, and Mr. Belden was felicitated on the result. DRAMA. HAYDIARKET. Mr. George Vandenhoff, after a long absence in the United States, appeared last evening, for the first time at this theatre, in the character of Hamlet. His performance did not furnish room for much com ment, as it neither exhibited any striking beauties, nor betrayed any remarkable faults. In face, person, and deportment, he was a very fitting representative of the character. His conception of it was just, and his acting, in every scene, was marked by intelligence and propriety. Not only there was nothing to find fault with, but there was much to approve, and that very highly. Yet the effect of the whole was not what might have been expected from the goodness of particular parts. There was not that power, possessed by the great tragedian, of stirring the inmost hearts of his audience and commanding their strongest sympathies. Mr. Vandenhoff was much and deservedly applauded, but the applause was a cool expression of satisfied judg ment, never an uncontrollable burst of enthusiastic feeling. One thing which detracted from the effect of his performance wee its slow ness. He dwelt too much upon everything, thus dragging out the scenes to an unusual length, and producing a corresponding amount of feebleness; for in acting, as in everything else, a certain impetus—a certain rapidity, is an essential element of power. Mr. Vandenhoff, in short, is an actor of much merit, capable of doing justice to an extensive range of parts ; but Hamlet, the most difficult of all parts, does not seem to be within the reach of his powers. The play, in its cnsembk, moved very heavily, and lasted till the unusual (we should suppose unprecedented) hour of a quarter past eleven. A CHILD EATBN BY A PIO.—A horrible case WY heard at the Clifden sessions, at which Mary Krne, an infant, awed by her father, John Kyne, a person named Michael Mahe', to recover compensation for a frightful personal injury. The defendant was the owner of a pig of remarkable ferocity, which went into the house of Ipso during the absence of all the family except the plaintiff, and pulling her out of the cradle, ate off one of her hands and three fingers of the other. The defendant had had notice of the brute's ferocity, for a short time previous it had attacked another of Dyne's children. The court awarded the plaintiff 101., to be paid by yearly instalments of 21., the monoto be placed is the hands of Lord Leitrim, and in by his lordship for her benefit. THE CHOLERA.

TWO MEN POISONED BY THE EXHALATIONS FROM • CESSPOOL.—Between twelre and one o'clock on Monday morning, a man named Adcock and three assistants were engaged in emptying a cesspool belonging to an empty house in Pelham-street, Soita'fields, which had been ordered to be cleansed by the sanitary authorities. One of the : party,' named Walker, was descending a ladder into the receptacle, when he suddenly fell backwards into the sot'. Adcock immediately went to his assistance, but only to share the same fate. They were both extricated as qw.,My as possible, bat they were found to be quite dead. (Tram Watson' Board or Health, Oct. 23.) • • From reports transmitted this day to the General Board of Health front the superintendents of the metropolitan police, K, L, M, P, 14, T, V, and Thames divisions, it appears that, between the 17th and 23rd inst., there have occurred in those districts 27 cases of cholera, of which 13 have proved fatal. 01 the latter 3 had been previously reported as under treatment. In one instance the patient died in 12 hours after attack. Another case in Hill-street, Mackie jars road (where the patient died within 24 hours of the attack) the surgeon states to have been the most virulent case of Asiatic cholera which has come under his notice this season. " The next-door neighbour describes the stench from the drain in the yard between 4 and 5 every evening as insufhlable," and states that " when the wird sets in from the direction of Green-street, the stench from Footman's hone-boiling premises, Newan and Winkley's horse slaughtering yards, and from the catgut makers, is very bad. She has suffered so much from th ose abominably disgusting smells that her health is rapidly sinking under it. Her house is infested with numbers of filthy black flies which smell very offen sive." The soap-boiler's premises opposite (Anderson and Certhy) are described as filling the houses with thick, heavy, sickly vapours, the smell of which has caused her to faiut away. It damps the bed clothes, and the stench on these occasions is so intolerable that her husband is frequently obliged to leave the house. Complaint is also made of tubs of putrified fat kept iu the yard of 24, King's Bench-walk, and of the liquor from the bone-boilers in Green-street, of the knacker's yards, and other like premises ad joining. It was yesterday reported that no fewer than six cases of cholera and two of choleraic diarrheas had occurred in one house, 33, Upper Chapman-street, in St. George's-in-the-East, two of which had proved fatal. It may be added that almost all the cases were from the inmates of a single small room, in I which as many as 12 persons slept. It is satisfactory I to know that, upon the certificate of Mr. Garrett, the medical officer of the district, most of the inmates have been removed from this house. There has been no fresh cue in New-court, Blue gate-fields, where two deaths occurred last week. A good deal has been done to cleanse and purify the place. The owners of this property, as well as of the passage leading to it, ought to be compelled to tlqg it immediately. There is a considerable amount of diarrhoea in the district, and it is somewhat on the increase. KENSINGTON.-Dr. Milroy, in company with Mr. I Frost, the medical officer of the district, recently re inspscted the " Potteries," in the Notting hill division of Kensington parish. Special reports were made in this notorious locality in 1849, to the General Board of Health, by Mr. Grainger and Dr. Waller Lewis, and to the Metropolitan Commissioners of Sewers, by Mr. Lovick. On the re-examination of the district, within the last few days, Dr. Milroy states that he can perceive no abatements of its horrible nuisances; no signs of noticeable improvement since his former examination of it in August, 1849, with the parochial medical officers. It is represented as being now what it was then—one large slough of loathsome abominations, revolting alike to sight and smell, and fatally pernicious to health, as was attested by the high rate of mortality at all times among the inha bitants, and by the large number of deaths from cholera in the epidemic of 1849. "At the time of my visit last week," says Dr.' ' Milroy, " the roads and streets were no better than long tracks of black putrescent slush with pools of , foul stagnant water in different parts. It would be difficult to parallel in any other part of the metro polis the state of things in Thomas-street. To cross from one side to the other without getting ankle keep in stinking mire, was impossible; nor could I but feel the reasonableness of the remark which the people themselves made to me, that the state of the roads was as bad as that at the pigsties themselves. Certain it is that even if these nuisances did not exist it would be scarcely possible for the residents to keep themselves clean or comfortable while the thoroughfares remain in their present state, nor have I any hesita tion in affirming that this is one of the principal causes of the insalubrity of the locality. It was re cently stated in the public journals that the filthy piggeries which have for many years rendered this place so notorious,were removed. The numbers may not be at the present time quite so large as they have been occasionally, but they still are as re voltingly disgusting as ever, and it would be difficult to conceive anything more horribly offensive than the rears of some of the houses whose yards slope down to the huge pond of filth known as the Ocean.' In other spots are to be seen heaps of dung and odors which some of the people are in the habit of collecting in the immediate vicinity of their doors for weeks or months at a time till an opportunity occurs for selling it; while here and there you are assailed with the peculiarly nauseating stench produced by the boiling of fat and other offal, an occupation that is carried on by some of the pig feeders. The tubs and barrels, too, containing the filthy wash and other refuse for the food of thi se animals, serve to increase the pollution of the atmosphere. " There are, of course, other sources of impurity more immediately connected with the houses them selves, such as foul privies, neglected ashpits, &c.; but these are only common to this with too many other metropolitan localities where the poorer classes are obliged to reside. There is, however, one grievance to which the inhabitants are especially subjected in the Potteries; and that is the miserably defective supply, amounting to all but the want of 1 water. „ The great bulk of the inhabitants, and the popu lation is estimated at upwards of 1,200, are neces sitated to go to a well in a field for every drop of water which they use for drinking and cooking. Such is the deplorable state in which hundreds of our labourers and their families are left at the pre sent time; and this, too, in one of the West-end wealthy parishes of the Metropolis. As a few of the houses have water laid on, I presume that it remains but with the will of the landlords to have the same done to all. That the various sanitary evil, enume rated above, tell most perniciously upon the health and lives (not to mention the moral habits) of the inhabitants in the Potteries, has been demonstrated over and over again since Dr. Southwood Smith first specially drew public attention to the subject in his Report to the Poor law Commissioners in 1838. During ten months in the course of last year, sod when no particular epidemic disease prevailed, as many as 40 deaths occurred, a ratio equal to nearly 4 per cent. of the residents; and of these 40 deaths, no less than four fifths occurred at 6 years and under. The natural situation of the place, although lying rather low, is anything but insalubrious; as, indeed, may be inferred from the rows of handsome houses which have of recent years sprung up in the immediate neighbour hood. Nor can the density of the population be alleged as the cause of the excessive mortality; for it is obvious that space is prodigally wasted, and that six times the amount of people might, if lodged in suitable dwellings, be well accommodated on the area occupied.” It will be instructive to compare the mortality which is here represented to have occurred in the Potteries with that which took place last year in the establishments for improving the dwellings of the industrious classes. The population of the Potteries is estimated at 1,200 souls; the population in the various establishments of the Metropolitan Associa tion is 1,343. In the Potteries there occurred in 10 months 40 deaths; in the establishment of the Me tropolitan Association there occurred in one year seven deaths. In the Potteries four-fifths of the tatal deaths were under five years of age ; in the establishments of the Metropolitan Association the deaths under 10 years of age were not one-half of the total deaths. In the week ending Aug. 6, 1853, the number of deaths from cholera in the metropolis was 4 ; in the corresponding week of 1848 the number was 19. In the week ending Aug. 13, 1853, the deaths were 19 ; in the corresponding week of 1848 they were 17. Week ending Aug. 20, 1853, number of deaths, 10; in 1848, 7. - Week ending Aug. 27, 1853, number of deaths, 18 ; 1848, 7. A% eek ending Sept. 3, 1853, number of deaths, 16 ; 1848, 7. V ending Sept. 10, 1853, number of deaths, 7 ; in 1848, 6. Week ending Sept. :7, 1853, 16 ; in 1848, 7. Week end ing Sent. 24, 1833, 29 ; in 1848, 4 Week ending Oct. 1, 1853, 48 ; in 1848, 13. Week ending Oct. 8, 1853, 66 ; in 1848, 30. Week ending Oct. 15,1833, 45; in 1848, 45. Week ending Oct. 22, 1853, 83; in 1848, 34. Thus le will be seen that in Ib4B the number of deaths in the 8. weeks ending Sept. 24 was 74, while in the correspozuling weeks of this year they were 119; and that in the remaining 4 weeks the deaths were, in 1848 1 122; while in 1833 they were 242. The total number of deaths during the 12 weeks in 1848 was 196 ; in 1833, 301. DUNDEE, Oct 24.—Cholera, 1 death. CocKEnstoun, OCT. 22.—Cholera, 4 deaths. HEMEL HEMPSTEAD, OCT. 24.—Cholera, 1 death. NEWCASTLE, OCT. 24.—Cholera, 1 death ; diar rhcea, 1 death. The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Newcastle during the pre sent outbreak has been 1,530. In the same period (viz., the first 33 days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera in 1831-2 the number of deaths was 294. LUTON, Ocr. 24.—Cholera, 1 death. This death occurred in a place previously reported as " filthy, overcrowded, and unfit for human habitation." SOUTH SIIIELDS.—A return from the clerk to the South Shields Union transmitted to the General Board of Health states that 6 deaths have occurred therein from cholera since the 16th inst., five being in South Shields and one iu Whitehaven. These, with the 54 deaths vreviously reported, make up 60 deaths from cholera in the South Shields Union during the present visitation. LtvimPorm.—Dr. Duncan reports to the General Board of Health, that since his last communication of the 18th to the 24th, there have occurred in Liver pool 10 new cases and 9 deaths. In Bof the new cases the parties were Germans, 6 of them emigrants. One was a servant in a German emigrant lodging. house, and one had been resident nearly three weds in Liverpool previously to the attack. Two fatal casts occurred among the residents of the town. STOCKIIOI.3I.—The last accounts render it probable that the spidemic is nearly at an end in that city. The cases are not only becoming fewer in number, but milder in character, the most certain sign of the decline of the epidemic. On the 14th instant, being the 62nd day from the first outbreak of the epidemic, the returns were, of premonitory diarrhoea, taken ill during the last 24 hours,l9 ; convalescent, 44 ; passed into cholera, 1 ; remaining under treatment, 263 ; of cholera, taken ill during the last 24 hours, 7 ; con valescent, 6 ; passt d into collapse, 1 ;remaining under I treatment, 152 ; dead, 8. From the commencement I of the epidemic the number of attacks of premonitory diarrhcea have been 5,819, of which 5,096 recovered I and 438 passed into cholera. Of cholera, the number of attacks have been 4,123, of which 1,617 recovered and 2,634 died. MORE GRAVEYARDS TO BE CLOSED
