LAW-THIS DAY. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS AND THE ARMY-IMPORTANT DECISION-BELLEVILLE V WARNER. This was an action for certain goods supplied to the de fendant, and for certain boxes and bags alleged to be detained. Plaintiff deposed to having received an order from de fendant for some oil bottles, and to having delivered the same as per contract. Defendant said that he had taken a large Government contract for oil bottles, and a certain sample was sent out by the authorities. This sample was handed to the plain tiff, who had not, however, strictly followed it out. Defen dant would prove to his Honour that the plaintiff's bottle was not according to the sample, and for that reason the Government inspector turned a lot of the bottles out. Two bottles, apparently made of zinc, with brass stoppers, were then handed up to his Honour, who said, " What are these bottles used for ?" Defendant—For the soldiers. They contain the of which a soldier may require. His Honour—l cannot see much difference in the bottles produced. Defendant—The Government sample is rather larger than pliiintiff's bottle. His Honour—Well, but plaintiff's bottle seems very wel made. Defendant—Yes, but it was rejected. The pockets are made just the size of the bottle. His Honour—So far as I can judge, the plaintiff's bottle is the better of the two, but as the Government inspector has rejected it, and as it does not appear to be quite like the sample, plaintiff cannot recover. Defendant must, however, return the packages, and the case will stand till May 17, to enable him to do so. NEW TRIALS.-HrMPIIREYSO:N V. 'WHIFFEN. In this case Mr. Buchanan urged upon the Court the necessity of deciding as to whether the defendant should have a new trial. It was a manifest injustice upon the plaintiff that she, being a poor woman, should have her case postpoeed longer. At all events, under any circum stances, defendant should be ordered to ?ay the money into Court. He :Mr. Buchanan) was of opinion that Mr. Beard had done ntthing in support of the rule nisi to warrant the Court wanting a new trial. His Honour considered that it was some hardship upon the plaintif, and promised to decide the question speedily. POLICE-:-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH STREET, THIS DAY. VISCOL77T MILTON CHARGED WITH OBTAINING A PAIR OF EAR-RINGS BY FRAUD.—William Wentworth Fitzwillian, Viscount Milton, was charged before Mr. Knox witl obtaining, by means of false pretences, at 74, New Bond-street, a pair of ear-rings of the value of £lOO, the propery of Messrs. John Cordy Crouch and William Henry Wgrre, trustees of Mrs. Sophia' Stephens, pawn broker, of 35, Brewer-street, Golden-square. Mr. Leis, jun., (4 . Ely-plac e , at t en d e d for t h e defence. _ _ Yiscourt Milton, who had been bailed by Mr. Bishop, of Bond-stret, was placed at the bar. Colin rainey, assistant to Mrs. Sophia Stephens, of 35, Brewer-stnet, said—This gentleman came to the shop yes terday betmen five and six, accompanied by a female who had pledgtl a pair of ear-rings, and requested to see them. I producee the ear-rings, and the gentleman requested me to take tlan in the evening to 47, New Bond-street, Madame lAchel's, and he would redeem them. I went to Madame tachel's by myself about six o'clock, and waited sole time. I put them on the table in a room adjoining he shop, and the gentleman then put them into his 7aistcoat pocket and produced a cheque for £2OO on th London and Westminster Bank. I refused to take it. 'lle ear-rings were pledged for £65. I sent for a constable nd gave the prisoner in charge. He rave him self up to he constable,and the ear-riturs were handed over to the contable. I wish fora remand,that the trade solici tor may atend. Mr. Leis, jun.—When were they pledged ? Wiines—On the 21st of April, by Madame Rachel, of New Bon-street. Mr. Kux—Produce the duplicate ? Mr. Leis, jun.—Did you know they were her property ? Witno3—She took them from her ears, and I was led to believe tey were her own. She said they were her own. he hadludged diamonds before. Mr. 'Avis, jun.—What is Madame Rachel? Witnet—She deals in scents. Mr. Iwis, jun.—Don't you know that she enamels ladies' fa!s,and that she was the other day in the Insolvent Debtors ()tut ? Witnes--That is the mother of the one I took them of. I do not liew the name of Madame Rachel's mother is Levison. I am not aware that she was committed to New gate for Pjury lately. I did not take the trouble to see if she had Gained the earrings by fraud from a lady—a friend of the gerleman. I know she lives in New Bond-street, because Lave been there on business. Mr. Luis, jun.—Not to have your face enamelled. (Laughte) Witn2s—l decline to tell you what for. The gentleman at the barold me that he would pay me, but did not pro duce any ,oney. He did not say the earrings belonged to a lady from 7 1orn they had been obtained by fraud, The gentleman G.-say that he would send for a constable and hand them to Mr. Lewis, .—You cannot ray that he has no money in the Lonol . and Westminster Bank. Witness-No, I cannot. Mr. Lew, jun.—Then,what iq the false pretenc? Witness-Madame Levison showed me the cheque. ?Ir. Lew, jun.—What is the false pretence ? Witness-His saying that if I took the earrings to New Bond-strectthat he would pay me, and then taking posses sion of the roperty without handing me the money. Robert Lryd, 84 C, said he was sent for at eight yester-. day evening to No. 47 New Bond-street, and on arriving there, he aced the prosecutor what he charged the gentel man with, E ad he said the gentleman had been to his shop. and told bir to bring a pair of earrings to No. 47, New Bond-strert,and he did so, and then laid them on a table, and prisontrtook them and put them in his pocket, and then retusetto give them up. The gentleman said he wished to Foto the station, and give up the earrings, and the gentlemi went with him to the police-station. Mr. Lewi s jun.—He was bailed immediately by the in spector. Witness-.''e s . Mr. Lewi—He said he vvivhed to give the earrings up, and wanted o go to the station ? Mr. LewisitTn., said it was only right, on behalf of the gentleman a the bar, that he should say that Madame Rachel, of wlose history it was unnecessary to speak, had obtained the erring by gross fraud from a lady, and pledged th-m for £6s,and although the gentleman might not have acted quite legally, or as any one a little older would, per haps, have dole, he having gone to the place where they were pledged Ind asked that they should be taken to New Bond-street, end then, on their being brought there, put them in hi. pocket, still there was no pretence for say ing that he meta to steal them, or make off with them. A cheque was poduced, but there was no evidence to show that there was nt money at the bank ; and at the time the gentleman was ttken into custody, although he had net been searched, sal he (Mr. Lewis) understood that he had more money in Lis pocket than enough to pay for the ear rings. What evdence was there that the ear-rings were obtained by false iretences ?—none whatever. If they came to a question of lqality, the oar-rings were not obtained through the presentation of the cheque, for they were taken up before the cheqte was produced. The case was nut concluded when we went to press. SHIPPING-THIS DAY. LONDON, May 2.—Wind this day at noon—Westerly ; moderate breeze, aad fine weather, but rather cloudy.

NOMINATION (THIS DAY). This morning, at ten o'clock, Mr. Onslow, the returning fficer, proceeded with the election of a burge.,s to serve in Parliament for the borough of Lambeth, in the place of Mr. Roupell, who has resigned. The hustings were erected near the Horns Tavern, and very excellent arrangements were made by the returning officers for the representatives of the press. In front of the hustings, at the commencement of the proceedings, there were about 400 people, more than half of whom were persons in the employment of Mr. Doulton, and chiefly boys. Mr. JOHN WILL lAMB came forward to propose Mr. F. Doulton, as a candidate; the nomination being secoadtd by Mr. WINTERBOTHAM. Mr. LYON pro f osed Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, who formerly represented the borough, which was seconded by Mr. RENTON. Mr. RICHARDS proposed, and Mr. STRAZER seconded Mr. W. Campbell Sleigh. Mr. DOULTON came forward, and was received with cheers and hisses. He acknowledged the fair and candid manner in which the election had been conducted up to the present moment, but he could not say the same of the half candidate, Mr. Wilkinson. (Cheers and laughter.) He had hesitated to come forward to ask the suffrages of the electors until he received a requisition signed by nearly 5,000 electers. (Cries of " No, no.") He was in favour of a large extension of the suffrage, and would give to every resident registered inhabitant a vote in the election of members of Parliament. Closely associated with the exten sion of the suffrage was the ballot, of which he should be a strenuous supporter. He characterised Mr. Wilkinson's address as abominably impertinent, and expressed his opinion that the electors would place that gentleman where he deserved to be, at the bottom of the poll. (Loud cheers.) On the principles expressed in his address he rested his hopes of being returned member for the borough by a ma jority of at least two or three thousand. Mr. SLEIGH, was very cordially received, the numbers in front of the hustings having increased by this time to some thousands. He thought Mr. Doulton was right in the re mark he made that this contest had been conducted with the greatest good humour and courtesy. (Hear,hear.) With regard to the candidature of Mr. Wilkinson, ho was not anxious to occupy the time of elect. rs further than to say that , he regarded the appearance of Mr. Wilkinson among t them as a great grievance to both himself and Mr. Doulton. For himself he might ray that if he had known that a geetleman who formerly represented the borough would come forward he should not have had the presumption to declare himself a candidate. He repudiated the insinuation that he was only a reformer for the day, for 12 Years ago he was a member of the Parliamentary Reform Association, of which Mr. Wiliam s,theirpresent member, and Mr. Wilkinson, their late member, were also members. His he4rt had always throbbed for the unonfranchised classes, and he had always hopefully anticipated the time when large numbers of men should be brought within the pale of the constitution. He would ac cept for the present the £6 franchise, with an extension of the suffrage that would admit lodgers of intellect and edr.cation. If they elected him they would find him the un flinching advocate of civil and religious liberty, and the strenuous enemy of church-rates. He regretted that the Government had not proceeded with a Reform Bill, but with regard to foreign policy he thought that the present Government, presided over by that manly and fearless statesman, Lord Palmerston, had made the most successful endeavours to preserve the peace of the country. and had steered us clear of an awful American war. (Loud cheers.) The returning officer took a show of hands, which was largely in favour of Mr. Sleigh. For Mr. Wilkinson only twe or three hands were held up. A poll was demanded on behalf of M,. Doulton and Mr. Wilkinson. A STAUNCH LIBERAL. When our friend paid his second visit to Sir John Ringwood, he was introduced to his kinsman's library; a great family tree hung over tt e mantel piece, surrounded by a whole galery of defunct Ringwoods, of whom the baronet was now the re presentative. He quoted to Philip the hackneyed old Horatian lines (some score of years ago a great deal of that old coin was current in conversation). As for family, he said, and ancestors, and what we have not done ourselves, these things we can hardly call ours. Sir John gave Philip to understand that he, was a staunch Liberal. Sir John was for going with the age. Sir John had fired a shot from the Paris barricades. Sir John was for the rights of man everywhere all over the world. He bad pictures of Franklin, Lafayette, Weshington, and the First Consul Buonaparte, on his walls along with his ancestors. He had lithograph copies of Magna Charts, the Declaration of American Independence, and the Signatures to the Death of Charles I. He did not scruple to own his preference for Republi can institutions. He wished to know what right had any man—the late Lord Ringwood, for example —to sit in a hereditary House of Peers and legis late over him ? That lord had bad a son, Cinqbars, who died many years before, a victim of his own follies and debaucheries. Had Lord Cinqbars sur vived he would now be sitting an earl in the House of Peers—the most ignorant young mar, the moot unprincipled young man, reckless, dissolute, of the feeblest intellect, and the worst life. Well, hid he lived and inherited the Ringwood property, that creature would have been an earl ; whereas he, Sir John, his superior in morals, in character, in in tellect, his equal in birth (for had they not both a common ancestor ?) was Sir John still. The ine qualities in men's chance in life were monstrous and ridiculous. He was determined, henceforth, to look at a man for himself alone, and not esteem him for any of the absurd caprices of fortune. As the re publican was talking to his relative, a servant came Into the room and whispered to his master that the plumber had come with his bill as by appointment; apon which Sir John rose up in a fury, asked the ser vant how he dared to disturb him, and bade him tell - he plumber to go to the lowest depths of Tartarus.' Nothing could equal the insolence and rapacity of tradesmen, he said, except the insolence and idle ness of servants; and he called this one back, and asked bim how he dared to leave the fire in that state ?—stormed and raged at him with a volubility which astonished his new acquaintance; and, the man being gone, resumed his previous subject of conversation, viz., natural equality and the out rageous injustice of the present social system.— Cornhill Jr, agazine for M iy. SKETCH FROM 711 E ITALIAN PA.RLIARENT Punctuality is not apparently one of the virtues for which the deputies aspire to be celebrated, and when the President opens the sitting, he has not many to feel his authority, but gradually and mysteriously the fresh arrivals swell up into what we should call a full house. After a few preli minaries, the long process of callii g over hundreds of names commences, and the stranger is perhaps the only person present who is not, at least for the first time, bored with it, for it stems to refresh his memory about the historical character of those famous men of the era who have done so much to enable the Chamber at Turin to receive " Italian" representatives at all—Gari baldi, Cialdini, Bixio, Crispi, Gallenga. &c., are names easily caught, and remembered with crowding association of ideas. In time the debate opens, and though the building is as per fect, accoustically, as it is possible for anything of its size to be, one must suppose the English visitor in the gallery to be rather looking on than,wit . h his limited knowledge of Italian, understanding the speeches as they are delivered. With a wi h to be present at a variety of declamation rather than any discussion of solid importance, he is slily gratified to find that the orators are, likely fiery steeds, too impetuous to last out long. In the end, after enjoy ir g many fresh tones of voice and divers kind of gesticulation, he observes that the addresses are, on the average, v.:ry short, unless some un lucky minister is kept on his legs by the gravity of the (•ccasion or the number of interpolations. He hears signs of approbation or the reverse expressed in a way to denote earnest attention to the proceedings on the part of the whale house, but not beyond the c ntrol of the tinkling bell of the President, who. if he be but a gentle but firm one like Tor rearsa, has no insuperable trouble in keeping order. Any wise the listener conceives the impression that the Italian language, grandly adapted as it is for the slow utterance of a Capuchin preacher, loses much of its charm when submitted to the rapid volubility if Deputy-eloquence. If our stranger happens to be present when a division takes place.be will notice that, besides the resemblance to the old Roman theatre in the house itself, the mode of voting is p •rtially renewal of that of the " Comitia Majora" of the Republican times. Perhaps with an eye to again passing 1-iwsin or near the Campus Martins of history, the Italians have their "Pons" to pass over, and their black and white baits sup plied to them by " yellow plush" diribitor es at the side from which they start. On their left hand are two urns, one at each end of the " Pons," from the pro or con balls respectively, and the ballot seems to involve the putting the hand into each to conceal what is done for either, with a sly peep now and then into the depths:of the receptacle to see how the favoured cause is prospering.

OF lITARMORA. ...-____ The Levant licrald of the 23d April says :- 1 "It wou.d be difficult to compress into the same space more inaccuracies than appear in the follow iing account of this disaster, as narrated in the Paris correspondence of the Independance Beige of the 15th inst. : " Not one single incident of this whole string of allegations has a particle of foundation in fact. The collision, to begin with, did not take place in the Black Sea, but in the Marmora ; secondly, the Turkish Government not only has ordered no inquiry to be instituted, but has no power to do so ; thirdly, the official protest of the Russian commander and his officers which we have seen—does not even ventur e to pretend that the officers of the Laconia wero either drunk or asleep, and does not say that the latter vessel steamed on and away without stopping —as would, of course, have been contradicted by the fact that nearly 60 passengers were actually saved ; and finall y , the Russian and British consuls are taking neither joint nor senarate action in the matter, which has, on th e 1 contrary, been referred to her Majesty's Suprem e Consular Court, where an action has already been begun, and before which the tt'uth is likely to he arrived at in a very different shape from that pre aented by the correspondent of the Brussels journal. It is incredible that such a version of the disaster could have been in any way furnished by either the Russian agency or the Russian consular authori ties; and yet it is difficult to understand whence else so malicious a fiction could have emanated." MURDER AT W ()ROES fER. WORCESTER, THURSDAY EVENING. A shocking murder has been committed here. A blacksmith,named Timothy Grundy, has been taken to-day before the county magistrates and remanded on a charge of murdering his sweetheart, a young woman named Emily Jones, by throwing her into a pool of water. He was remanded to Tuesday next. This afternoon the inquest on the body of the de csased has been held at the Gun Tavern, near this city, before W. S. P. Hughes, E-q., coroner, when a good deal of evidence affecting the prisoner was given, from which we glean the' following facts. The prisoner had been keeping company with the deceased for some time past, and on Tuesday evening last they were together at a suburban tavern, the Gun Tavern, Newtown, near the Shrub Nill station of the West Midland Rail way. They sat there together from six to ten o'clock, the prisoner drinking ale. The girl refused to drink with him, and was displeased because he would not give up to her a bottle of laudanum which he kept in his pocket, and with which he had threatened to destroy himself. He had been before the magistrates at Worcester on that very day for making the attempt but had been discharged. Teey sat together until 10 o'clock on Tuesday night, when they left the tavern and wandered about until one, when they went to a hut occupied by a catcher on the railway, where they remained until morning. Early next morning they wandered about the fields at Newtown, and were seen by several persons sit ting on the stiles and on the grass. About half-past 8 o'clock they were noticed by a labou r i ng man named Giles. The deceased apparently did not wish to accompany the prisoner, and hung hack, when he returned and took her by the arm, on which she walked with him across a field in the direction of a pool. They had got to within 70 yards of the pool, when Giles lost sight of the m. Two hours afterwards the dead body of the woman was found in the pool by a working man, who, on seeing it, ran off to his master. His master came to the spot, and seeing the body ran off to find a policeman, and thus at 11 o'clock when the officer arrived a crowd of people were found assembled round the pond staring at the body, which no one attempted to rescue from the water. About the same time Grundy had arrived home, and being questioned about Emily Jones, at once said that he had " dot e for her. lie was accordingly taken into custody. The prisoner has been an inmate of a lunatic asylum, and was released as cured in October last. The landlord of the Gun Tavern, at which he was drinking on Tuesday night, deposed that ho then appeared perfectly sane. The inquest was adjourned to allow of a post mortem examination of the body. MOM 111ARKETS-THIS DAY. CORN EXCHANGE. Very moderate supplies of English wheat were received fresh up to this morning's market. Both red and white qualities, however, moved off heavily, and rric.g were barely supported. In foreign wheat a limited business was transacted, yet no quotable change took place in the currencies compared with Monday. The show of s_►mples was tolerably ex tensive. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow reque , t, yet prices ware firmly maintained. For barley there was a steady demand, and all good and fine qualities were decidedly firm in value. - Fine malt changed hands to a fair extent at full cur rencies, but inferior parcels were a dull inquiry. Oats—the supply of which was moderate—ruled firm, and, in some instances, prices had an upward tendency. Beans and peas changed hands at extreme rates, and the market for them was firm. Flour moved off heavily at barely stationary prices. The top price of town-made is 51s. per 280 lbs. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Whet Barley. Matt, o a t ß . Fl our.

THE ELECTIONS IN PRUSSIA. A letter from Berlin, dated April 29, says :—The one engrossing event of the day is naturally the elections, which show, as far as their results are yet known, the complete triumph of the party of progress, whose most sanguine expectations appear to have been surpassed. To speak first of the capi tal. Here they have gained the only seat which they did not succeed in obtaining at the last elec tions. Of the four electoral districts into which Berlin is divided, the first, which comprehends the west part of the town on the left bank of the Spree, is the richest and most aristocratically inhabited, and particular importance is attached to its choice. A meeting was held last night of the soohlmanner, who had been elected for that district in the morn ing. The well-known Radical deputy Waldeck was voted into the chair, and the names of a number of candidates were brought forward. The Constitu tional party proved to be very much in the minority. Of those candidates proposed by them not one ob tained the requisite number of votes (50) entitling them to be accepted as such by the Assembly,while Messrs. Twestem,Taddel, Waldeck, Carlowitz, Pro ' fe ssors B oeekh and Sybel, and others of the Forts chritt party, were chosen by an immense major ity. The proceedings were very animated. M. Twe sten made a speech of considerable length, which was received with enthusiastic applause. The accounts from the provinces published in this morning's papers, and others which have since been received, are in great part favour able to the Liberals. At Konigsberg, out of 344 wohlmanner, 287 are Fortschritt, 27 Con stitutional, 13 Conservative ; at Dantzig, out of 287, 261 are Fortschritt ; Potsdam, 102 against 56 ; at Breslau the Fortschritt's party has 300 out of 521 ; at Gorlitz 102 out of 111 ; Erfurt, 115 out of 124. In not a few of the elections already known the whole of the wahlmanner (with here and there one or two exceptions) are of the decided and Liberal party. Most of the toahltnanner of this party ob tained very large majorities, and few of their elec tions were closely run. The Catholic party will, as was anticipated, be more fully represented in this Chamber than in the last. From Cologne, Coblentz, and other places in the Rhino provinces, the ac counts received are highly favourable to the Lib e . rals. As regards the position of the anti-Liberal, or , as it is commonly cal.ed, the Feudal party, w e await further info, mation, which to-night's Kraus Zeitung will doubtless give. The Moderate Con stitutional party will have lost seats. The sole deputy they had for Berlin in the last Chamber, M. Kuhne, had very few hands held up for him at last night's meeting. Their organ, the Berliner Allge. tneine Zeitung, makes no remarks on the prospect of the parry in its number of this morning, and the papers generally have no articles on the elections, but content themselves with a paragraph or two respecting the general results, and with giving full lists of the toahlmanner chosen in the numerous electoral divisions of Berlin, affixieg to their names the initial letter of the party to which they belong, among which one seer column after column of" F." standing for Fortsehritts porta. The Ministerial Stern Zeitung gives no list, nor say a word about the elections, save three lines of small print in a back page, which announce that, as it has not been able to get the names of all the persons chosen in the districts of Berlin, it postpones communicating the result of the eleo,tions for the capital. Concerning those for the provinces it is equally mute, although others of this tmorning's papers publish the ac ootiris received from a large number of places. The iberals attribute the much stronger majorities obtained this year than last by their candidates to the injudicious measures of the Government, and especially to the circulars of the Minister of the Interior and the pressure attempted to be exer cised. The silence of the Government organ is quite intelligible ; it is unpleasant to have to chro nicle the complete defeat of one's friends, and, as far as yet known, there are no consoling ciream stances for them in the course the elections have taken. So the Nern-Zeitung, turning with dis taste from domestic occurrence, and the whole of its columns, on the mor row morning of a gener a l election, with foreign news. • The number of persons who yesterday exercised their electoral right was larger than last autu.,,,_ dome otnclals and persons otherwise dependent on the Government kept awey, but their places were much more than supplied by voters who, on pre vious occasions, had neglected to avail themsolyes of their privilege. A great tnvny tradesmen who had remained away from Leipsic fair on purpose to vote left last night and this morning for that city. A commission, consisting of a Prussian naval captain, a shipbuilder, and an engineer, has been appointed to proceed to England to collect informa tion with respect to the construction and advan- PLSTILEN Sometimes a ship has become so notoriously sickly, that her name has become a name of dread, and has been changed. In the case of one such ship, the Rosamond, formerly the Eclair, the ventilation between decks was found to be most imperfect, and " there was a considerable accumulation of filth under the magazine." Forty cases of fever broke out between April and June, 'fifty-six, in the Eurotas, while in the Mediterranean. Her medi cal officer was "unable to account for the disease, unless it arose from the extreme lowness and close ness of the deck on which the men were berthed." In May, 'fifty-eight, there was an outbreak of fever in the Valorous, when on the way from Ferrol to Plymouth : the sole ascertainable cause defective ventilation. "Air," said Sir G. BI ane, " con tam in ated by foul and stagnant exhalations, particularly those from the living body, is the ascertained cause of typhus fever, which has been a more grievous and general source of sickness and mortality in the navy then even the scurvy. The infection of fever is gene rated by the breath and perspiration of men, crowded for a length of time in confined air, and without the means of personal cleanliness." Freer ablution is no doubt more practised by sailors than by soldiers, among whom, with all the enforced regard to cleanliness of dress, real cleanliness of person is under our barrack system still impossible. The smell of a marching regiment is sometimes in tolerable. The state of the air where men sleep in barracks is as serious a cause of invaliding and death, in the army, as the want of pure air for the sailors in their berths between decks is of inva liding and death in the navy. Lord Herbert put the country on the road to mighty changes ; and lives enough to make a brigade of men are now saved every year through his exertions. There is still more to be done. "Wholesome air to sleep in is a first requisite of health certainly not yet secured in every barrack, or on board of every Queen's ship. Fever broke out in the Princess Royal when she was conveying troops from Malta to Alexandria, in January, '5B. Boisterous weather made it neces sary to keep the ports, both on the main and lower deck, barred in, during nearly the whole of the pas sage. The disease was checked by bringing the men up to the main deck. But the Princess Royal, though a new ship, had been always sickly ; im perfect ventilation of the sleeping space being the sole assignable reason. Whatever the disease, the want of fresh air by the sick will beget or strengthen it. The Megtera, in '5B, put cif from Calcutta with cholera on board. At sea the cholera increased. There came boisterous weather, the main deck ports had to be kept shut, and the. sick therefore were brought on deck and p . leic_e! under an awning. Flom that time, though d the disease eighth part of the crew had perished, disease was then making head, the cholera Ire she and soon disappeared. In the Britannia, w here of the was in the Black Sea, just before the sailing anbsided, days two expedition to the Crimea, within file nine hundred and twenty-nine of a crew and twenty were attacked with c holera, ,and of n . ine died.
