During the five decennial periods in which we had taka3 the census the ratios of increase had stood as follows 1801 to 1811 1811 to 1821 1831 he 1831 1831 to 1841 1641 to 1851 The greatest increase, it would be observed, was is the kit two decennial periods, and those twenty years were years partly of war; 8 years of the first 10 years were years of war, 5 years of tee sec.nd 10 years were years of war also; and yet then the population increased more rapidly than it had done in any other two decennial periods since that time. But it had increased in an unproductive popu lation—of children and of aged people ; and since then the tortes,. bad been a wholesome increase, limited only by our prudential feelings, and corresponding with our ad vancement as a sat an.

For while the truck has thus gone on increasing, the roots have shot abroad more widely into the soil—they have forced their way in this direction :and in that, wherever they could find nutriment for it ; and whilst the trunk has been enlarging and the rows spreading, the limbs have been toss.ag themselves high in air, and by their thickening faliage from year to year yielding shelter to man and bus% whilst the bi r d s of heaves ease amongst their branches. (Rapturous applause ) It was said that this increase had been affected by emigration. Ile could scarcely, however; think any material effect could be traced to this cause. The emigration in the last thirty years was between three and Pair millions, and the population of Ireland had decreased is the last ten years to the eatent of about • million and a hilt.

Mr. K. Snivzxaox said a series of resolutions had been put into his hands, which he would reed to the meeting, and move their adoption ; they were as follows:—" That the actual events in the East have proved that the present ministry are incompetent to manage the intercourse of nations with due regard to the interests and honour or England, and the acknowledged rights of her allies. That by means of such ineompetency the physical power of Great Britain ceases to exist for the main tenance of our interests and the protection of our honour, and that, on the contrary, it comes to be trod for ends injurious and fatal to the one and the other. That such a state of things is not endurable and must he altered; that while it endure*, freedom is an empty word— government a mockery—and peace or war alike dangerous. That these townships shall employ every means their power to induce their representatives to put an en& to permanent embassies, to secrecy is diplomatic business, sad to compel a return to the legal practice of the constitution, so as to p intercourse between the servant of the crown and the representatives of a foreign state, save under the warrant of the Great Seal, issued for that special pur pose. That we will use our best endeavours to induce other constituencies of the kingdom to act is like manner. That the best thanks of this meeting be given to the Sultan of Turkey for the noble nand he has made against the Russian invader, and the firmness displayed by him en all occa sions, notwithstanding the deceptive policy of pretended friends." Mr. Mona Tom seconded the resolutions, which after a lengthened address from Mr. D. Urquhart, were carried. A memorial to her Majesty, in the same strain as the rem lotions, was also adopted, and the proceedings terminated. IRELAND. 11Init.'''. Oct. 6. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY COLLISION.—DISAS- THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 7, 1853. THE PROPOSED MILTON CLUB IN LONDON. A number of the leading Nonconformist gentlemen of Manchester assembled to breakfast yesterday morning at the Royal Hotel, to receive from the London deputation a further account of the progress this undertaking had met with since the aid of the provinces had been sought. At a firmer meeting in Manchester it was stated that the Milton Hall and Club in London was projected to " afford a recog nised place of resort in the Metropolis fur all those who, holding Evangelical sentiments with Nonconf rmist prin. ciples, can meet on common ground, while yet retaining entire freedom of denominational end individual action." The cost was estimated at about 30,0001., which it was sought to raise upon 601. debentures- The deputation from London, consisting of Mr Bateman, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Wilson, now explained that since last visiting Manchester, they had beta to Leeds, Sheffield, Liverpool, Birmingham, and other large towns, in ell of which they had met with encouraging success. About 24,0001. towards the 30,0001. required had been taken up, sad they had been successful in buying premises in a very central part of the metropolis on which to build. The situation was in Lud gate-hill, nearly opposite the Nonconformist office. The deputation dwelt at some length upon the object sought by this erection, which was to bring the heart and soul, the power aed the will of the great body of Evangelical non conformists into a focus, so that by concentration they might be able to use their power—religious, benevolent, and political—with greater effect. They were at present too scattered and isolated : what was doing in one part of the country was unknown to the body in another, and a vast amount of power was lost for want of co-operation and unity of action. There were about 30 to 40 gentlemen pre sent at the breakfast, including Mr. James Sidebottom (of the firm of Kershaw, Leese, and Sidebottam), who pre sided, Mr. James Watts, Mt. Kelsall, of Itoehdele, several ministers, and other gentlemen. The shares taken at the previous meeting in Manchester reached about 2,0001, and at the present sue about 10 or 12 additional shares were token. The meeting went off well, and the deputation ap peared to be highly pleseed with their success.

A terrific occurrence scarcely to be paralleled in the whole gloomy history of railway accidents took place last evening on the Great Southern and Western line, between Cork and Dublin, resulting in the loss of a large, but as yet unascertained, number of valuable lives. The only detailed account of the lamentable affair is that which I subjoin from the Freeman's Journal, all the particulars in it having been obtained from eye-witnesses: One of the most appalling accidents that it has ever been our sad duty to record occurred last evening on the Great S suthern and Western Railway, about half a mile beyond the Streffan station. A passenger train, up (rum Killarney and the south, that was due in Dubl:r. about six o'clock, p.m., was brought to a stand still between the SABins and &reran stations, owing, we believe, to some defect in the engine. Mr. Croke! Barr:agtou, the solicitor to the com pany, who was a passenger by the train (and who was ac companied by Mrs. Barrington), got out, and di rected one of the railway servants to go down the line with a danger signal, as there was a heavy cattle and luggage train following. The man departed accordingly with a red (danger) lamp. lie had been gone about twelve or fifteen minutes when the red lamps in front of the cattle train were seen approactiitig. It watt taken for granted that it was coaling along at slow 'peed, for the line was straight, and its pace could not be judged, and in consequence of this unhappy confidence some per sons who had got out of the carriages of the passenger train re-entered them, fearing lest their engine might be got into motion, and that they would be left behind, and feelinrr satisfied that the danger signal had been observed by toe driver. Scarcely had they done se, however, when the cattle train ran at full speed into them, going cleats through a first-class carriage that was last in the passenger train, and driving the remainder Otto a heap of ruing. The third carriage from the front of the passenger train, • second.class carriage, broke up and turned over, bura ting the powerful iron links which held it to the carriage immediately before it. The impulse given to the two for ward carriages, thus freed, was so tremendous that the roof was cut clean off the one next the ruined train, and it actually fell upon the spot which the carriage bad just berme occupied, the utrooftd carriage with the one before it, the tender, and the engine, being sent flying along , the line, which they traversed for nearly three quarters of a mile before they stopped, paasiag the S.raffan station about a quarter of • mile. Of the peaaen - * en in those two carri ages scarcely any ea aced without serious injury. Two were killed ; two men were nut likely to survive the night, and five or six were badly injured, all having broken limbs or serious contusions. Amongst the les, seriously hurt was Mrs. Barrington. the wife. of Mr. Croker Barrington, the 01 the killed, the only manta we have us y, t as certained were, Mr. Jelly, of Maryborough, and Mr. Egan, of i der. Amongst the passengers was Captain James Collis, the commander of the Times steamer, on which the fatal eeci• dent occurred a few months back °lithe Pigeon House Fort by the bursting of the boiler plate, and whose activity and humane conduct neon tee ovc.ision (Hutted so much praise. Captain Collis got out of the train when it came to a stand. He had for some time previously been thinking tbat all was not right with the engine, fur the train was t levee minutes behind its time at Sillies, and when it stopped it was about a half mile short of the station at Straffaa. His example was followed by a few other gentle men, but only four, viz , Mr. Coarser, of Newbridge ; Mr. Kelly, of the same place ; Mr. Leitch, of Armagh ; and an English gentleman, whose name he did not ascertain, re• =tuned upon the embankment with him. The others un fortunately returned to their carriages. And here a most msiancholy episode occurred. The Eng lish gentleman was accompanied by his sister, his wile (a beautiful young lady of one and twenty), and their little child, an infant of about nine months. A passenger, a Mr. Jelly, of Maryborough, a very large man, had got out of the carriage in which the two English ladies and the baby were, and stood talking with Captain Collis, but on seeing the cattle train coming along he got in again and stood in the doorway watching its approach. The ladies gut alarmed on hearing that the train was coming, and wanted to get out, but the English gentlemen advised them to stay as they were, and be was about to get in himself, and was only waiting for Mr. Jelly to get out of the doorway, when the collision took place. Mr. Jelly was instantly decapitated, both his legs cut off, and his body torn to pieces. The ladies were both killed, and the agony of the unlortunate husband ar.d brother, when he cast himself upon the lifeless body of his young wife was quite indescribable. The baby was extricated from under its unhappy mother and aunt, and was living. When Captain Collis saw the train approaching he checked the other gentlemen who were about to enter the carriages, and advised them to wait, as there was no calculating the speed at which a train, end on, was approaching. He glanced along the shining part of the rails, and observed by the glitter atilt reflection from the lamp, that the speed was full. The train was then within a couple of hundred yards. He at once shouted, " My Clod, she's coming at full speed ! Look out ! look out !" and, turning round, he sprang over the wire fence into the field. Mr. Leith followed his ex ample, but fell. Mr. Connor and Mr. Kelly threw them selves on their faces, having no time to retreat. Captain Collis having gained the field, looked round and saw the scene we have described. When the engine came to a stand still in the midst of the ruin, he jumped back again, and ran with Messrs. Leitch, Kelly, and Connor, to assist the wounded. They had dragged a few out, and all who ware able to move had congregated round the shattered train to render aid. When he noticed the violent throbbings of the engine, he sang out for the engineer, who was helping to extricate some passengers, and bid him instantly jump on the engine and blow off the stam, or they would have an explosion that wo u ld destroy them all. The engineer did as be was ordered, and thus the lives, in all probability, of even more than had been sacrificed by the collision, were preserved. Captain Collis, having seen fourteen dead bouiee, and having helped to extricate about fifty wounded people—a labour which occupied some hours—arrived in town about midnight. It is to him we are indebted for the dreadful narrative. Captain Collis said after passing the Sallies station the engine went slowly, and stopped about half a mile short of the Straffan station; it remained stationary about fifteen minutes. Five passenga n got out with me, Mr. Jelly, of Maryborougb, a very fine looking, tall, portly gentleman ; Mr. Connor, of Nirarbridge ; lir. Kelly, of the same place ; a Scotch gentleman, Mr. Leitch, from Armagh; and an English gentleman, whose name I did not ascertain. He was in too much trouble for me to ask hint after all was over, for he lost his pretty young wife and kit sister. Mr. Croter Barrington, the solicitor to the company, who was riding in a first-class carriage next the engine, got out and sent one of the railway servants (the stoker I think it was) down the line with a red lamp to stop the luggage and cattle train that we knew was about half and hour babied us. Wu were, however, eleven minutes behind our time at Satins. He had been gone about ten, or from that to fifteen minutes, when we saw the lights of the cattle train approaching. We all thought, of coarse, it was coming along suite slow. Mr. Jelly stepped into his carriage, stopped to the doorway and looked out. The English gentleman's wife and sister were behind Mr. Jelly, and they wanted to get out, but he bid them not stir, and he was himself going to get in. Mr. Kelly was going to step into his carriage also, when I said " Stop a little, there is no hurry, the train won't go with out some warning, and, at all events, you and I are active enough to jump on if it should. But just wait till this train comes up." " Oh," said he, " it es merely walking up to us ;" but, nevertheless, he waited. I stepped cloth to the line and cast my eye along, when I saw by the reflection of the light upon the shining rails that It was coming at fall speed, and I heard by the beat of the engine that the steam was not eased off. I at one, shouted out, " Good God ! she is coming at full speed—look out, look out," and I jumped over the wire fence into the field and looked round me. I saw the cattle train run right into the last carriage of the passenger train, indeed through it. In an instant all was a pile of ruin. I ran back and saw the driver of the cattle train, who seemed horrified at the frightful calamity. I asked him was be hurt? He replied, " No, but I'll never get over it." lie then proceeded to assist the wounded passengers. I perceived that the steam was being generated, and that in a minute more we would all be blown away by the explosion of the engine, and I sang out for the engiaeer and bid him blow off the steam. He did so, and then we set to work. The first sight I came en was the bodies of two women quite dead; they lay on the bank as if they had been shot out of the door. Near them was a priest, or friar, or monk : he was quite dead, lying close to the rails, as if he had been thrown against the embankment and had rebounded bath. I next taw a man, both of whose thighs were broken across Messrs. Kelly and Connor, and I pulled hies out from under the ruins of the car riages; he was living, and we laid him upon the bank. We were then attracted by the cries of a lady, whose hand was jammed between the carriages. Her sister lay near her, either dead or insensible. After labouring very hard for some time we failed to extricate them, and had to turn to others whilst more hasistance was being procured. From a heap of ruins, where we saw shawls, hats, and hand kerchiefs, we next got out a lady, greatly disfigured, but still alive. We then came to the body of Mr. Jelly, which could hardly be recognised, hie head being torn sad smashed off, his legs both cut off, his body torn up, and his clothes torn all off him. I adjusted his clothes, and we put the body aside, and from near him we got out the bodies of the Eng. lish gentleman's wife and sister. Poor fellow ! He threw himself frantically upon the body of his wife, and kissed her frantically, and then we got the little baby from under her and the aunt's clothes:alive. We then went to the fiat-class carriage that had been first struck by the engine, and there we saw the bodies of two ladies, apparently cut in two at the waist. They were so jammed in that we could not get at them. Near them was the body of another lady, whose dress only we could see, she was so buried in the ruins. The cries of a little boy then attracted me. He was about eight years old He was lying under the axletree of a carriage which had broken both his little legs, and was lying across them. With great difficulty we got him out by raising the axle with a crowbar. I then returned with more help to the two ladles, one of whose hands was jammed, and we got them out. I den't know whether the insensible lady was dead or ' net, hut I think she was. We laid her on the bask. Tee other was not much hurt. We next discovered the lx dy of a very large man under the train. His head was cut off and cone. We found be trace of it. Both his legs were cut off also from the thighs down. We got out the re mains and placed them on the bank. I was at this time a rod deal exhausted, having worked very hard. Sir Edward Kennedy now came up. lie had been • passenger in the carriage next the engine which bad been shot on by the collision } est Stralfau s'atiun. He had escaped unhurt, and had rendered every mundane* to the passengers in those twocarrieges, which,with the en gine, had been sent on by the concussion. He then returned diem the line to help there and took the command front mo to my great relief, for I wee quite worn out. 1 cannot tell you how hard he worked, u also did those gentlemen whose mimes I have mentioned, and indeed every one, railway people, country people, and all. I broke off a piece of a car nage and helped to make &litter of it on which we placed a lady who had her two legs broken, and the English gentle. man's little child, and took them to a house convenient. Sir Edward Kennedy sent for a doctor and a priest at once. Seeing that some people were picking up carpet bags I suggested the necessity of the luggage b.ing guarded, whicn was at once done. Messrs. Kelly, Connor, Leitch, and I then walked on to Straffan, thinking we had seen all the damage, and not knowing about the two carriages that bad been shot away. At the station we found a Mr. Roe, who had escaped in one of those carriages, and who wee very active in rendering assistance. In tho station room eight or nine people were lying tide by side. One of them seemed dead. I placed my hand upon his forehead, and found that he wu dead. He was a Mr. Egan, of Bier. I said lie was dead, and his body was at once removed, and the gentleman died soon after. A priest was hearing the confession of another, who evidently had very few moments left him in this world. The dead bodies were removed from the room. Mrs. Barrington was lying in another room in the station, very bully hurt I heard. One of the ladies I saw at the station had her chest broken in. I don't think she would live till morning. Several hal their legs broken. One servant boy, who was very badly hurt, had been sent by Sir Edward Kennedy on his own car to some hospital in the neighbourhood. There was medical gentleman present who was doing all in his power to alleviate the sufferings of the wounded. I believe there were several medical gentlemen, but I am not sure of more than one. Ths Hen. E. Lawler war there working very hard; and there was one young man, • dealer, named John Rooney, who was going down in toe Kilkenny train when he heard of the accident at the 'tuition. lie at once threw up his passage, quitted the down train, and set to work to help the sufferers in a most extraordinary manner. Such vigour, and kindness, and gentleness as ho exhibited could not be surpassed. A train was got ready about half-put ten o'clock, and by it I came to town. We arrived at the King's-bridge Terminus about 12 o'clock. Neither the driver nor stoker of the cattle train war injured. Another account says : Several passengers, including Do. tor Cusack, jun., had previously jumped out of the carriages ; but two ladies who sat in a first-class carriage, against which the engine of the goods train struck, were killed instontaneonsly ; the body of one of the ladies was literally severed in two. A Mrs. Farrell had her leg torn away and her arm broken ; end Mr. Jelly, of Maryhorough, had his head torn off. As well as could he ascertained, it wns believed ten persons were killed; sevea were brought to Steevelis's Hospital very dangeruusly wounded, one of wheat has since dies and three more are not expected to recover; and several others were more or less injured. There was great difficulty, howeve:, in aseensining the exact number of casualties, as it was believed that several persons were lying under the carriages. At the time of the concussion Lord Guillamore, his lady, and daughter threw themselves on the floor of • first class carriage, and escaped unhurt. Mr. and Mrs. Stokes were passenger* by the ill-fated train ; the former escaped berm, but the latter was severely hurt i• the face. Immediately on the news reaching the King's-bridge Tertrinu-, Mr. Ilberry, one of the superintendents, hastened to the scene of the disaster, accompanied by Doctor Stokes, Surgeon Fleming, and a number of other medical gentlemen, who rendered every possible assistance to the sufferers. Doctor Geoghe gan and the coroner of the county were also in ettendence at Straffan. Some of the sufferers were accommodated in houses at the locality of the accident; others were con veyed up to town by the railway last night. There being no person present who was competent to bring the disabled engine to town, Doctor Cu.uck, jun., after seeing the suf ferers properly taken care of, took charge of the locomotive, and at considerable personal risk and much labour suc ceeded in bringing it sate to the company's works at In ehicore. the Tenant-right Conference resumed its sittings yesterday ; Mr. Tristram Kennedy, M.P., again taking the chair; and the same parties, with the exception of Mr. Sharman Crawford and the other Igentlemen from the north, who did not appear, and a few other exceptions, composing the assembly. A protest against the resolutions adopted the preceding day was presented on behalf of the Rev. Julius M'Cullogh and the Rev. Mr. Rogers, presbyterian ministers, and of Dr. *Knight, of Belfast. Speak ing in the name of the northern dissentients, the protestors say : We adhere to the original principles and constitution of the Tenant League in despite of systematic efforts to throw upon us the odium of making a breach in the tenant-right ranks. Hence wo protest against the adop• tion of an absurd system of pledges which some of their advocates have this day publicly acknowledged that they accept, with a reserved dispensation from their literal observance, according to the requirements of private " con science." Wo protest against a parliamentary policy unreasonable in itself, in addition to its having air, ady tort and rent the tenant right party in the House of Com mons, while every item of the success realised has been gained in virtue of its practical abandonment. It is con fessedly by meeting the present liberal administration in a spirit of justice, us well as of rational independence, that any progress whatever has been made, and the policy which experience has hitherto demonstrated to he successful needs only to be continued in order to the completion of our in dustrial triumph. Instead of following out this practical course, whose beneficial results are now exultingly owned by the very men who reject the means by which they have been secured, the conference has committed the extraordi nary absurdity of putting its negative upon an amendment which all parties professedly affirm, in order that room may he left fur a policy which no man acquainted with states manship can seriously intend is enforce without detesting his own object. We do not pronounce upon the absolute inventions of parties, but about the tendencies of their act ings there can be noznistake, and we consequently protest against the course adopted as calculated, in our judgment, to damage the tenant right cause, to endanger the position already gained, to embarrass all united effort, for an advan tageous settlement, and to keep open a source of national grievance, until the unfortunate people of Ireland, who might be rendered happy by its abolition, shall have found a refuge in the union workhouse, or an assured home in some other country. A long discussion ensued as to whether the signers of the protest should be expelled from the League, but the subject ultimately dropped without any motion upon tt ; and after the expenditure of a great deal of indignant eloquence, several resolutions were carried, and the Conference adjourned to this morning. In the evening, however, a soiree, announced as a " Grand National Demonstration to the Irish Inde pendent Opposition Party in Parliament," was held in the Round Room of the Rotundo. The principal table was laid upon the platform, and the other guests were accommodated at tables ranged down the body of the room. The number of persons pre sent was about 400, but preparations had been made for a considerably larger number. The principal portion of the company were Roman catholic clergy men. In the account of the proceedings of yesterday it was stated by mistake that the amendment proposed by Mr. Bowyer was carried, the contrary having been the fact. The Maynooth commissioners have been sitting during the past week between four and five hours daily; and it is understood that they have already made considerable progress in the inquiry for which the commission was issued. Chief Baron Pigott, one of the commissioners, has been prevented from attending, by severe indisposition. - ; - The Sheriff has received the writ for the new election for Lisburn, which must, therefore, take place in the course of next week. It is still uncer tain whether Mr. Jonathan Joseph Richardson, the liberal candidate, will have any opponent on the hustings. The Limerick Chronicle, a well-known authority in military tattle, has the following strange state ment: A very curious circumstance has occurred in Dublin garrison by a Held officer of the 90th Light Infantry pla, log his commanding officer under for alleged drunken ness. It it feared the affair will end in a court-martial. It is the second affair between the officers. GREAT FAIR AT BALLINASLOE. BALLIN•bLOE, WIDNESDAY EVENING. 5 o'CLocx.—• This morning the sheep fair was continued, and I have to acte a comparative dullness in the tone of business. Nothing was done in the way of sales until after 10 o'clock, and even then there was a manifest shyness evinced between buyers and sellers. The best stockmasters seemed quite undecided as to the rates they could afford. Yesterday's prices were fully maintained, and numerous flocks of wcthers changed owners at high prices. Lambs met with • ready sale, but ewes continued • drug in the market, except young ones, which went off slowly at fair prices. The following are a few of the sales:— Mr. Alexander K. Ilanly sold 150 lambs at 335. Mr. T. Tully sold 20 awn at 60a. Captain Shaw Taylor, 100 we thers at 41s. ' • 100 ditto, at 37r. 6d.; 100 ewes, at 395. ; 50 ditto, at 375. 64. Char les 11. Connor, Esq , 160 hoggets, at 575. 6d. Lord Dunuandle, 200 wetherv, at 345.; Mr. Robert Fair, 300 Cheviots, at 261. I might give you a great many additional quotations, but the fort going will he sufficient to show what has been done at the fair. The sale of Mr. Itcynell's pure-bred Leicester rams occasioned much interest. The following are some of the prices obtained by that gentleman :—Oeorge M'llon nrll, E,q., one rem, at 221. 10s.; Hon. H. King, one rem, at 151. ; Sir Thomas Itedington, one ram, at 151. ; Hoa. F.

Lord Clancarty sold 140 wethers at 425. Eleven o'Clock.—l am sorry to announce that the awes suffered a consider.b!e depression in the evi ning, et least to the extent of 3.. each. Ltrge numbers of sLeer, it is con sidered, will remain unsold :—Oct. 4 and 5, 1853, sold. 42,089 ; unsold, 9,929. Oct. 4 and 6, 1952, sold, 46,950; unsold, 6,288. The demand fur blood horses c ntit.ues V. ry good, and the sporting ger.tra seem to hare ®uttered in great number.. Large number; of b h .ck cattle are on the green, and will be disposed of to morrow. This morning hie Excellency the Lord Lieutenant received the addressee from the town and district of Ballinaeloe, and also from the Ballinaeloe Agricul tural S, ciety. THE CHOLERA. Mow the Hoard of Health.) LONDON. A fatal case occurred in the York-road, Waterloo road, on the 3rd instant ; one also at the bottom of Stangate-street, Westminster. Since the beginning of the present week several deaths have taken place in the low filthy courts and streets in the Borough; and there has been a large increase of bowel cum plaints in several districts. The local authorities of St. George the Martyr evince much zeal in using the power in their hands to abate all removable nuisances, and in improving the condition of their parish. They have appointed their medical officers to act as sanitary inspectors of their respective districts, and are prepared to increase the staff at once whenever it may appear advisable. Unfortunately their exertions are most seriously im peded by causes over which they have little or no control. The monster nuisance is the horrible con dition of the principal sewers. The sewer in Friar.street, six feet high and three wide, is no better than a huge lengthened cesspool of the vilest description, choked with black mud, the effluvia from which pollute the atmosphere all round. Already many persons have lost their I lives from the poisonous air with which this receptacle is continually charged. The stench is frequently so overpowering that even the in mates of the Bench Prison are obliged to keep their windows shut. The evil is not a little increased by the noxious exhalations from the yards of bone- I boilers, wholesale butcher*, and other similar trades carried on in the midst of a crowded population without regulation or restraint. The great deficiency of the water supply in the Borough, while it is a serious privation to many of the poorer classes, adds to the difficulty of cleansing the streets and yards, and to the remcval of various nuisances. Several of the crowded courts have only a single tap for the use of all the inhabitants, who arc thus necessitated when the water is laid on to collect their stinted supply in an old bucket, fish kettle, or buil) for the use of their famili e s. E ven the public urinals which were put up some years ago have never yet had water laid on fur elcansiug them ; the result is that they have become a positive nui sance to passers by.

Two visitors have been sent to Stockton to aid in can., ing out more efficiently the house to house visitation system already commenced. GUISBOROUGH. Oct. 4.—Cholera The Board of Guardians have applied to the General Board of Health to send down a surveyor competent to advise on the removal of nui sances, at such salary as the board may deem just. Other applications of the same nature have been made to the board. HOUGHTON-LE-SPRING. From the reports of the medical officers of this union, it appears that they have had under their care 702 cases of diarrhoea since the lat inst., not one of which, in consequence of prompt treatment, has passed into cholera or terminated fatally. On the other hand, four cases of cholera have occurred, three of which have proved fatal. Two of the cholera cases occurred in a small pit village in the town ship of Newbottle, called Success-row; another in the village of Newbottle; a third at Downs-lane, in the township of Hetton-le-hole; and the fourth at, West Rainton, three miles from Newbottle. The guardians in each township of this union are stated I to have formed themselves into a committee, with certain other inhabitants, for the purpose of making combined efforts for the immediate removal of nui sances, and the improvement generally of their respective districts. This joint committee hold their meetings three times a-week. From a return of the pilotmaster of Londonderry it appears that on board the bark Vireinia, from Oottenburg to New York and New Orleans, there have occurred, between Sept. 4 and Sept. 30, eight deaths from cholera. MANCHESTER. A meeting of the board of guardians took place yesterday, at which reports from the registrars of two of the districts were made as to the state of health. One report was from Ancoats district, and was as follows : Deaths 438. The smallest number regietercd in any cor responding quarter, since 1845—July, 125; August, 162; September, 147; exclusive of 14 in quest.. Diarrhoea has not been so prevalent as is usual in this quarter, only 76 deaths are attributed to it, against 184 last ye..r; of these, 41 were infants under one year, and 22 from one to two years old, and in many instances, diarrhwa was merely the Niguel to other diseases. The registrar of London-road district says:—Whilst admitting the duty of the authorities by all means to secure the health and comfort of the public, by enforcing cleans ing, titc., I think it also a duty for individuals to do all in their power to allay unnecessary alarm in a time of panic. I will therefore make no apology for intruding on your notice, and, if you think proper, of the guardians, a few particulars connected with the mortalit7 in my district. The following shcrt table will chew this district at least has been very healthy during the quarter just closed. I have purposely selected e pe periods mber in t qu a r ter , ixe a ionuntthoef years mor tality was greatest, averaging within a fraction of 400 en tries—of 19 other quarters the average is about 230 —whilst the return of the present quarter is Out 232: Sept quer.

The Silu Greenman and the Isaac Wright, emigrant ships, from Liverpool to New York, have had cholera amongst the passengers. The former was lying in the Mer sey, outward bound, when the epidemic appeared, and all were removed to the workhouse at Liverpool. Up to yes terday morning 21 fatal cases had occurred. The Isaao Wright (as before reported) met with an accident off the coast of Ireland, and was compelled to put back to the Mersey—but it has been stated that nearly 50 victims were I committed to the deep before she made the port. The pas sengers on board the Isaac Wright complain very much of the treatment they received on board. They were unani mous in the assertion that the water was bad, and quite rot'en, and that it induced sickness ; that only one-third the quantity, both of water and meal, was meted out to them, and that they could not get the water boiled, except on payment of 6d. the quart to the cook. Tbey also com plsined of the surgeon, who had not only been very inatten tive, but bad used the coarsest and most disgusting expres sions to the female passengers who had been taken ill. Captain Schomberg's (the government emigration officer in Liverpool), attention has been called to the statements of the passengers, and it is stated that be will cause en inn' tigation to be made. CHOLERA AND TRADE. Shopkeepers (.ays a cerresponecat), often grumble at paying rates for the improvement of the health of a town ; but there is not a shopkeeper in Newcastle, looking no farther than hi+ till, but would have paid three times the amount of rate be has been accustomed to pay, if cholera could have been kept out of the town ; as the following fact will show :—Duribg five daya that the cholera was raging in that town, the pri prietor of a levi,ithan drapery e•t ihltshmLnt was SON. sh..rt of his or Hoary rteeipts. There is not a shopkeeper in the town but lizoa suit, -eel in the same proportion. The same is told of the !own et ff-t -ham. THE Fatne.—The :Mayor of Sun& rhnd hes given notice that in c:Jnniocnce of the l r , v4:ei.ce of cho!rra in the district, the fair in that town is p.atpcned. Thc antho rides baya also prohibited the holding of Houghton-le- Spring feat. . - THE BicavrEits.—Since the outbreak of the cholera in Newcastle, there has been au almost entire cessation in the consumption of malt liquors. During the put two or three days, housewives have been unable to procure yeast to bake their bread with. SCOTLAND. We reeret to sty that cholera has made its appearance very decidedly in Szotland. On Monday evening, a woman walking along Minto.street, Edinburgh, suddenly dropped dawn ; on being carried to the Ink. n.ary she w...s pro nounced to be labouring under a severe attack cf cholera, aad was immediately sent to the enolera hospital. The case has not as yet proved fatal. On Tue,day, how ever, a fatal, case occurred at Leith ; another is reported from Glasgow; and a third from eltddil o ,ham, in Ber wickshire. One death took place at Ihrise a few days ilgt); and from the fact that medical u.sietance was gig tor to Edinburgh from that town on Tuesday, it is to be feared that other cases have made tl.eir appearance there. Three fatal CMS, we have been informed, also occurred on Monday at a village near Linlithgow —two of the parties seized being colliers, and the third a pancer. Four persons have also Seen attacked at the village at Ar madale near Bathgate—the first was a woman of about 60 years of aga, and she died in 13 hours ; the second was a woman Racist 40 years of age, and the else proved fatal in 24 hours; the third was a son of the beg-mentioned woman ; he also ded within IS hours. A man who lodees iu the house in which the second ease happened has also been attacked. In two of these cans, we are ii.tormed, chloroform was used ; it allayed the spasms, bat although the patients were kept under its ii.thience fully halt an hour, the collapse went on to a fatal teintivation.— Scots man.

IHRKBECK FREEHOLD LAND SOCIETE. - - The shareholders in the above society held their first annual meeting at the Mechanics' Institution, Chan cery-lane, yesterday evening, to rec ei ve the directors' re port, reconsider the rules, and for the purpose of a ballot. Mr. Bast presided. From the balance•sheet it appeared that the total re ceipts had been 5,213/. Is. 82., including 3,1)001. borrowed money. The principal disbursements had been 3151. de posit en the Highgate Estate, and 4,2001. purchase money for the Norwood Estate. The balance in hand, after de ducting various working expenses, was 3881. Ms. Id. The CHAIRMAN', in introducing the first anneal report, congratulated the society on its rapid progress. Members were rapidly comirg in, and two eligible estates had been purchased. The first was at Highgate, in the Archway road, and consisted of 64 acres of excellent building land, upon which a deposit of 345/. had been paid. the purchase to be completed on the enfranchisement of the copyhold. The second and most important estate was at Lower Nor wood, near the Crystal Palace, having a frontage of 1.100 feet to the new road to Dulwich Common. This estate con tained 10 acres, 28 perches, and was so desirahle that the directors had already been offered 6001. for their bargain. As a means of increasing the funds of the society, tue di rectors had considered it expedient to issue paid up shares, entitling members, upon payment of 30/. in full, to choose an allotment on each estate offered for dish ibutien. an in terest at the rate of 51. per cent. being allowed on such shares. After some further observations, the tbairman moved the adoption of the report of which he had recapi tulated the principal features. The report basing been adopted, the consideration of some new rules use post poned for a month, in order that they might he primed for circulation, and a ballot was proceeded with for the distri bution of the Norwood estate.
