The Mrosecno is something unspeakably humbling and exasperating in Gazette was informed that about a thousand Polish our own sluggishness.—Macntiffan's Magazine for Sep cOnvicts (or only fifty, according to the invalid) had tember. revolted in the neighbourhood of Irkutsk, on the 24th of Juno, 0.5., and that having half killed the officerin command of the detachment by which they were guarded, and made prisoners of the guards, they had marched off, or rather driven off, in carts seized at the post stations, to the Lake Baikal, in the direction of the Possolek gold washings, where a considerable number of Poles are kept. On their route they seized provisions, cut the telegraph wires, and destroyed all bridges and boats. Numerous Polish exiles joined them, and, says the Moscow Gazette, they were all armed with muskets, revolvers, and swords, and provided with ammunition, which showed a certain amount of concert and preparation. The general in command of the forces in Siberia marched out against the in surgents. The troops were oonveyed in two steamers across Lake Baikal, and soon began to fall in with the Poles, who, having taken refuge in the woods, were occasionally obliged to sally out for provisions. The woods were, moreover, surrounded by Buriates and Twiguaes, with whose assistance 494 men were recaptured and incar oeratedat Irkutsk, bythe 11th (23rd) July, in addi tion to 36 killed and 45 wounded and sick. The re mainder of the insurgents, according to the Invalid, ,fled to the mountains near Lake Baikal, but soon gave themselves up one by one, until by the 25th July (6th August) only two of the convicts who had rebelled were still at large. The Russians lost one officer killed, while they had only five men wounded. However, the Moscow Gazette is not satisfied with the statements made by the Invalid, and even the Petersburg Gazette passes some severe strictures on the government for the silence which has been kept on the subject. A correspondent writes to the Moscow Gazette on the sth (17th)July,thatthe principal rising of the Poles took place at Balagansk, and that two hun dred Poles had arrived that day in chains at Irkutsk, having been taken in action. Among the prisoners was the leader of the rebels, who called himself chief of the staff, and whose name is Dom broffaki. A very curious document also fell into the hands of the victors—a receipt for government money signed by "Ryk, Chief of the Sibe rian Legion." On Dombroffski were also found proclamations of a revolutionary character, and many letters on the same subject from various parts of Siberia and even from Russia. But the most astounding intelligence, if true, is this :—" The Poles have a very regular organization ; they have already five regiments, each with a waggon train ; they have arms and powder and even scythemen t as they had in Poland." Reports are current of the escape of a considerable number of Poles by way of the Amur, but at such a distance it is very difficult to ascertain the real state of affairs. Never theless, it cannot be a matter of surprise that Poles should rise and attempt armed resistance when we consider how extensive the deportations have been, and how thickly Siberia is strewed with Polish patriots. Even in such a vast territory as the Rus sian empire it has been found impossible to de prive the Polish exiles of all chance of combined attempts at liberation. Besides, Siberia is a country where convicts, and political exiles in particular, are looked upon with much favour by the indigenous population. The woods and mountains give shelter to thousands of escaped convicts, who obtain the necessaries of life without difficulty in the villages and settlements, where the houses are actually left open at night to enable the hungry and thirsty convict, whether Pole or malefactor, to obtain the bread and milk which the peasant always keeps ready on a well-known shelf for the accommodation of such travellers. But the evil does not end here. The sin of re moving Polish families en taasse to distant parts of the empire entails a most certain retribution. It propagates a spirit of insubordination and discon tent, and it demoralizes the lower orders, who arc thus taught to regard the transported mur derer and exiled patriot as only equally unfortu nate. The Russian government has indeed been sowing revolution broadcast over the country,land one harvest it has already reaped in the Kara kosoff conspiracy, of which I have much to say in my next.

After Mr. Satterthwaite had finished his long list of names of people to whom he had given bribes, several of the persons whom he had mentioned were called upon to give evidence. They deposed to receiving sums varying from 101. to M., and might all be classed as poor persona, after the style of one of them who thought himself a poor man, although he was owner of a fishing smack. Sevuld persons tendered evidence to the effect that, although their names had occurred in Mr. Satterthwaite's long list, they had not received from him or from anyone else any money as a bribe for voting. Mr. Sattertliwaite acknowledged that he did not remember having seen them at the time of the election, and could only account for their names being in his list by their having been personated by others, to whom, of course, the money was paid. It seemed to have been comparatively easy to draw money from Mr. Satter thwaite. He was unknown to the Yarmouth people, and they were unknown to him. When anybody called to see him be had to take for granted that the names they mentioned were either their own or the names of men for whom they were authorised to speak. The inquiry was again adjourned. The evidence of Lieutenant-Colonel Dawkins was taken yesterday by the Totnes Commissioners. He was very anxious to get into parliament, in order that he might expose what he considered to be the injustice of his own case. Mr. Spofforth, the tory manager-general of elec tions, introduced hint to Totnes. He went there, spent 4,6991. 16a. 6d., and was not returned. Full of anger, he petitioned against the return of Mr. render and Mr. Seymour. Negotiations were opened for the with drawal of the petition, and Colonel Dawkins's terms were his own election expensed and the institution of an investigation into his case by the House of Commons. The commissioners very naturally inquired who he expected to move the house to such an investigation. Colonel Dawkins promptly replied the Minister of War. He did not expect the minister to be a party to the corn ' promise, but he did expect him to move for an inves tor, tanilt As he pe w lio ali n wknenotwfothte. negotiations . were broken An addition was made yesterday at Reigate to the list of pat canaries, tortoiseshell cats, and other fancy articles which realise fancy prices at election times, in the shape of an old cannon. One Russell, a gardener, announced openly that whoever would buy his cannon should have his vote, and the Monson party had both for 6/. A 'wive : quent offer from the other side was rejected, and the voter I was evidently proud of having remained firm to his first I bargain. The . piece of ordnance was an old salute gun which lay rust ing in an adjacent park. A REFORM DEMONSTRATION IN BRIGHTON.— Folk/Wing in the wake of London, Birmingham, and other large towns, Brighton is about to respond to the late tory challenge—already so unmistakeably answered—on the question of ref ern.. Arrangements are made by the local branch (which is now fairly nnched) of the London Re form League for the holding of a great inaugural public meeting on the 24th inst. Mr. Edmond Bodes, the pre sident of the league, and Lieutenant-Colonel Dickson have accepted invitations, and the demonstration will be held in the riding school of the Pavilion. We anticipate that Brighton will, as heretofore, speak with "no uncertain sound" when the occasion arrives. Mr. W. Coningham, late M.P. for Brighton, has consented to accept the presi dency of the local branch, and will probably take the chair at the demonstration.—Brighton Guardian. ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—The usual meeting of the Fruit and Floral Committees was held yes terday, when a splendid collection of China uteri was shown by Messrs. Veitch, as well u numerous objects of interest to the floral world by Messrs. Standish, Downie, Laird, and Laing ; and new and rare plants by Mr. Bull. Several new fellows were elected, and the Kingswood Hor ticultural Society was admitted into union. *porting intelligence. WARWICK RACES.—TFycsney. This meeting iri;;e;tedWitl7jorTaiderabliiii;ia interest than even the very excellent racing would command by the great im portance which attaches to It from the fact of its being the last gathering of any importance previous to the greet SC Leger, and standing in the same position to that event as Bath does to the Darby.

The weather has so interfered with the progress of the harvest that too much cover exists for the birds, and in conse quence (sportsmen being almost wholly confined to turnips) only small bags were made. Some owners have entirely deferred the shooting for a fortnight. The crop of birds, is, however, good, and they are strong on the wing and in forward condition. Hares and rabbits are prolific, but pheasants are scarce for the coming season. HanleEr FAlR.—Yesterday wall the opening of this three days' fair, but in pursuance of orders her Majesty's Privy Council all traffic of horned cattle was suppressed by magistrates through whose districts stock would have to pass en route to this fair, awl the large pasture fields at Barnet were this year entirely without horned stock. The horse show was extensive, and com prised a miscellaneous description of useful cattle. The Welsh pony droves were, as usual, large, and some herds of well-bred Irish colts were exhibited. The sheep fair was larger than usual, and the flocks were in healthy con dition. An advance was obtained for store and stock sheep. In the horse fair business continues active, and many horses were sold. Aged and stale horses made low prices. There were several fine herds of very promising unbroken Irish-bred colts, and which found buyers at 11 to 25 guineas, and choice selections realised 35 guineas. Among the large droves of Welsh forest ponies there was a lively business, and unbroken two-year-old ponies made K to 10 guineas ; yearling colts, 3 to 4 guineas ; and Welsh cobs, 11 to 15 guineas. There is yet a large field of hawses unsold. The horse race will take plane in the fir fields on Thursday afternoon. Rzunit's TELYGRA3IB. —An additional cable to the continent is about being laid by Reuter's Telegram Company (Limited).

ILLYSION-BOUBE BELIEF COMMITTEE. Yesterday at a meeting of the working committee, held at the Mansion-house, a resolution was unanimously passed on the motion of the Lord Mayor, to the effect that in furtherance of the conference recently held between them and the committee of the Bishop of London's cholera fund, at which it was agreed, without a dissentient voice, that a part of the funds of each committee be set aside for imme diate distribution amongcholera convalescent patients. The Mansion-house committee apply a sum of not less than 2,0001. for that purpose, and that a copy of their resolu tion be forwarded to the Bishop of London. The committee also passed a unanimous resolution on the motion of the Lord Mayor, in substance that in their opinion it would be undesirable for them to select any public institution, or to take upon themselves any respon sibility in reference to the placing of orphans, but that the amount (5,0001.), previously resolved to be devoted by them to that purpose, be divided among the various local com mittees, and that those local committees should be em powered to select the orphan children, and to arrange for their maintenance, subject to the approval of the Mansion house committee. There were present at the meeting yesterday, besides the Lord Mayor, Sir Mordaunt Wells, Mr. John Abel Smith, M.P., Mr. Charles Hutton, Kr.. IL W. Ripley. Mr. Richard Hoare, Mr. R. B. Wade, Mr. W. J. Maxwell, and Mr. R. N. Fowler. The Lord Mayor took occasion to say that these resolu tion/ having been adopted, and the information they had received from various quarters leading them to believe that the disease was materially subsiding, they would forthwith hold a conference with the local committees, to whom they were all deeply indebted for their cheerful and valuable co-operation in the emergency, who had done the work assigned them well, and in whom they had implicit confidence, as to the disbursement of the money which the Mansion-house Committee had set aside both for the benefit of convalescents and for the maintenance of chil dren made orphans by the epidemic. The whole committee signified their approval of the course suggested by the Lord Mayor in those respects. THE HEALTH OF LONDON. It appears from the return issued by authority of the Registrar-General that in the week that ended on Saturday, September 1, the births registered in Londouland twelve other large towns of the United Kingdom were 3,827 ; the deaths registered, 3,206. The annual rate of mortality was 27 per 1,000 persons living. In Loudon the births of 861 boys and 899 girls, in all /,760 children, were l registered in the week. In the °erre sra:to,ne= weeks of ten years 1856-65 the average number, for increase of population, was 1,937. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,413. It was the thirty-fifth week of the year ; and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction fur increase of population, 1,259. The death. in the present return exceed the estimated number by 154. The excess is ac counted fur by 198 deaths from cholera. The deaths from cholera during each of the last five weeks have been 1,053, 781. 455, 265. and 198 ; from cholera and diarrhea, 1,407, 1,045, 649, 394, and 326. The deaths born cholera and diarrhea in ten weeks have been 6,012. Of the 196 deaths from cholera, 6 occurred in the west districts, 15 in the north districts, 9 in the central districts, 122 in the east districts, and 46 in the south districts. While in the east districts cholera has declined rapidly, it is nearly stationary in the southern districts, the deaths happening chiefly by the river, at Deptford and Woolwich, where it is to be feared the au thorities and the people are negligent. The pumps demand attention. Due care is not taken to prevent the diffusion of the cholera matter. Dr. Greenhill gives a remarkable instance of mortality due apparently to the introduction of a dirty cholera bed, thus enforcing the iinportance of the precept—hum all the dirty bedding and linen of cholera patients. Undoubtedly much credit is due to the people for their exertions in suppressing cholera ; but with steadier effortson their part, and on the part of the water companies, the disease will die out more rapidly. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 per 1,000 in London, 22 On Edinburgh, and 24 in Dublin ; 18 in Bristol, 18 in Birmingham, 64 in Liverpool, 29 in Manchester, 20 in Salford, 27 in Sheffield, 30 in Leeds, 22 in Hull, in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 26 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna was 34 per 1,000 during the week end ing the lrth ult., when the mean temperature was 1 . 5 deg. Fahrenheit higher than in the same weak in Lon don, where the rate was 31 per 1,000. The cholera epidemic in Liverpool, after a small de crease in the previous week, again shows a serious increase for the week ending last Satunlay. Of the 592 deaths there registered last week, exceeding by 282 the average of the corresponding week of ten previous years, corrected for increase of population, Z 25 were referred to cholera, 78 to diarriora, 29 to whooping-cough, 20 to scarlatina, and 12 to typhus. The fatal oases of diarrhea have been nearly stationary during the last few weeks, while those of cholera have been respectively 45, 87, 101, IN, 1:97, 146, and last week 225. In Dublin, the 147 deaths returned last week included 41 from cholera, although the mortality of that city from all causes scarcely exceeds the average. Vienna has been through the summer almost free from this disease, but in the return fur the week ending 18th ult. 16 of the 366 deaths are referred to this head. THE CHOLERA IN SOUTH DEVON.—At Dittieham during the early part of the past week there were but few cases, and those only of diarrbuw. On Thursday, how ever, the epidemic set in again hi its most malignant form, and on Friday was fatal, Mrs. Searle and her aces being the most notable cases. The utmost alarm is again felt in the unfortunate village. Happily there is no relaxation of help, stud on Saturday things appeared somewhat altered fur the better. At Stoke Gabriel the disease still lingers, and occasionally manifests its presence by carrying off a victim. During the past week there were several cases, and up to Saturday five deaths—two men, one woman, and two children—had been recorded. Every thing 10-sible is being done to alleviate suffering. and two Sisters of Mercy, one from London and another from Plymouth, with a staff of nurses, are taking charge of the sick, and giving sustenance and shelter to several poor orphans whose parents have died from cholera. At 13rix ham matters have grown considerably worse during the past few days. On Wednesday two oases were reported in the family of a fisherman named Charles J'eek. Their dwelling was at " Havre-gain," enjoying all the fine breezes of Toibay, with an eastern aspect, but the living rooms were in a sod plight, consisting of two very sm all rooms on the ground floor, or more correctly speaking, ono room cone - cried into two by means of a wooden partition, the inner half used as a bedroom for the entire family, nine in nainber. The misery endured by this family must have been great, and the husband is a deplorable drunkard. Both the members of the family who were at tacked, motherand child died, and on Tuesday evening were buried, and the bedding and sundry other matters were destroyed by fire, the dwelling and remaining furniture being disinfected. On Friday, several cases of diarrhoa occurred. A little boy named Crang diedlin Higher-street. ; and on Sunday morning a young fisherman's wife, named Youlden, died of cholera after some twelve hours' illness, at Havre-gain, but in a different quarter to that of Peek's. further from the bay, and with a southern aspea. In the after part of the same day two more deaths took place, that of a child named Crang. in Higher-street , the second child of the same family which has died within a few days, and a woman named Ann Cesely, between forty and fifty years of age, residing in Paradise-alley. The authorities are active, doctors attentive, and all is being done that can be. At Dartmouth there have also been two fatal cases of cholera during the last few days, Mrs. Robison and Mrs. Lewis having died after a short illness.— Wertera Meriting \'e es. HEAVY RAINS IN THE MIDLAND COUNTIES.— During the past few days the midland counties have been visited by heavy rains, and the various rivers and tribu taries are bank full. The harvest has been delayed, and farmers are now looking with the greatest anxiety for favourable weather in order that they may progress with the harvest. In Notts, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and Lincolnshire, harvest work is stopped by the rains. Grain (barley, wheat, and cats) are much discoloured by the moisture, and there is now no doubt that the crops have to some extent been injured. The cold temperature and high winds have prevented mildew. The barley which is now in shock will soon begin to sprout if it continne much longer in the field, and there is now (September 4) no immediate appearance of settled weather. Wheat being a more hardy plant has not yet suffered to any ex tent where it has been prematurely housed. A great breadth yet remains to be cut, and there is a good deal in shock. In some places the crops are far from being ripe, and the want of sun renders the maturing of the grain a very slow process. The harvest is a very protracted one, and even with favourable weather could not be secured by the middle of September, and farmers express great anxiety for the ultimate safe gathering of the crops. ClotsiAL PALACE.—The great autumn show of flowers and fruit opens at twelve o'clock this day. From the large number of entries declared last evening it has been requisite to erect staging the entire length of both the north end south naves. The palace will be lighted up to nine o'clock this evening ; the show will close at six to-morrow. A
