BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY EVENING.—The examination of witnesses who could bear testimony with respect to the cause of the late unfortunate occurrence in the neighbourhood, was resumed this morning. In conse quence of the evidence already adduced, the following letter was read from the Home-office:— " Whitehall, Nov. 19, 1846. " Sir,---I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to inform you that his attention has been drawn to the inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate persons who lost their lives by the recent explosion in Mr. Parker's colliery at Oldbury. Sir George Grey thinks that in formation bearing on the subject, which may be useful to this inquiry, is to be found in the enclosed report on the subject of the explosion at the Haswell Collieries in tlieptember, 1844, and Sir George Grey will be g lad to be informed whether the precautions recommended in the enclosed report appear to have been observed in Mr. Parker's colliery. " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " S. M. PIIILLIPPS. " To Mr. George Hinchliffe." The evidence addueed varied little from that which has already been published. Mr. Haynes, the mine sur veyor, produced a plan of the workings o f mine. In the course of his examination, he stated that every pos sible means had been taken, in his judgment, to secure safety. New gates, or air-passages, had been recently constructed, and, in fact, no expense spared by the pro prietor. Ho declared it to be his opinion that the acci , dent occurred in consequence of the falling in of a por tion of coal, which had been not worked out in conse quence of its inferior quality ; and he further stated it as his opinion that the dams between the new and old work had been constructed with sufficient substantiality; but several of the jury expressed an opinion that the current had not been sufficiently strong to force out the noxious gases which had accumulated in the " crop," the place where the cause of the explosion is supposed to have originated. Mr. Brettell and the other gentlemen who had been appointed to examine the state of the pit, declared that it was at present so filled with sulphur as to render it impossible they should proceed until Saturday. The in quest was accordingly adjourned until Monday. RAILWAY RETURNS.

GRAVESEND, FRIDAY, 11 P. 211.— The calamitous fire which occurred here yesterday has caused great excite ment in the district, and throughout the day the streets have been thronged by the inhabitants of the neighbour ing villages, who flocked into the town to witness the effects of the devouring element. The fire has not been entirely subdued, but from the precautionary measures which have been adopted, there is little danger of its ravages extending. It is satisfactory to state that the fears which were entertained, that the lives of several individuals had been lost, were unfounded. It has now been ascertained, beyond doubt, that the inmates of all the houses which have been destroyed escaped in safety. It was a most fortunate circumstance that at the time the fire broke out the wind was blowing from the south ward. There can be little doubt that, with a northerly wind, the conflagration would have extended up the High-street, and as the houses in that district are prin cipally constructed of wood, it is fearful to contemplate the result. Among the houses destroyed are the Privateer Inn (Mr. Tisdale's) ; Mr. W. Edwards's, general dealer ; Mr. Horton's, fishmonger (whose house was pulled down to prevent the progress of the fire); Mr. Skillen's, green. grocer ; Mr. H. Pettit's, eating-house ; Mr. Lambert's, eating-house; the Rum Puncheon Tavern (known as Curtis's Hotel); a warehouse called the " Old Brew house;" the Bole-in-the-Wall public-house; and the ale and stout stores of Mr. R ichard Jerry. No complete statement of the destruction of property occasioned by this lamentable event has yet been prepared. It is due to the Rev. Mr. Joynes, the rector of Gravesend, to state that, when the serious nature of the conflagration was ascertained, the church and church yard were thrown open for the reception of the goods of those persons whose property was placed in jeopardy, and that Mr. Joynes, with great consideration, ordered the church to be lighted up. It is said that there was on the premises of Mr. Troughton, ironmonger, no less than 2 cwt. of gun powder, which was fortunately removed before the flames extended to the premises. We understand that Lieutenant-Colonel Kelly (who commanded the detachment of troops from Tilbury Fort), the Mayor, Mr. Oakes, a magistrate, Mr. North, the superintendent of police, and many of the respectable inhabitants of the town, exerted themselves in the most indefatigable manner in directing the efforts of the fire men, the military, and the police. The bank of Messrs. Hills, M'Crae, and Co., in West street, was burnt down, but the deeds and other important papers in the hands of the concern, as well as their books, &c., were fortunately saved. At the time this report left the fire was not entirely extinguished. The engines were still playing upon the upper story of the Pier Hotel, and occasionally a fitful flame darted from the ruins of the destroyed houses. OFFICIAL. REPORT OF THE DAMAGE. Some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the fire by the subjoined report of the engineers of the brigade force (who were sent down at an early hour to ascertain the list of the sufferers), made up to the latest hour, six o'clock; but it is expected that there are many other losses that have escaped their notice, in consequence of the great excitement that prevails. West-street (waterside) No. 74—Mr. Garratt, grocer and tea-dealer; dwelling-house and shop destroyed, warehouse and stores at the back fronting the river also consumed. Mr. Garrott is insured in the Sun Fire-office for• 7001., which will not cover his loss by nearly 1,000/. Buildings insured iu the Kent Office. No. 75.

There are a great number of other damages occa• sioned by hasty removal of goods, furniture, &c. ; they, however, are of not much amount. The total loss is roughly estimated at between 20,0001. and 30,0001.; the chief hulk of which will fall on the Kent, County, Phcenix, Sun, Alliance, Licensed Victuallers, and Royal Exchange Insurance-offices. WESTMINSTER LITERARY AND SCIENTIPIC INSTI TUTION.--On Thursday evening last, Charles Cochrane, Esq., President of the National Philanthropic Associa tion, delivered a lecture, pursuant to invitation, at the above institution, "On the evils consequent upon im perfect municipal and sanatory regulations." He com menced by stating the importance of the subject, by referring to the great number of deaths occasioned yearly, owing to the absence of proper sanatory regula tions, and drew a frightful and vivid picture of the state of the poorer districts, comparing the average duration of life of the wealthy and the poorer classes. He showed that in some towns the richer classes lived twice, and in others three times, as long as the poorer; that from the want of pure and an ample supply of water, the absence of light, proper food, ventilation, drainage, cleansing, &c., the children of the poor suffered to a dreadful extent. He then went at some length into the difficulties necessary to be surmounted in producing a change for the better, viz., the lukewarmness and indifference of the municipal and other authorities, to whom the administration of the law was entrusted; the number of irresponsible Boards of Commissioners who, regardless of the duties they had to perform, sought in a most unwise and unjust manner to keep down the rates by neglecting to pro mote the sanatory improvement in the neighbourhoods of the poor. He instanced the fact of the great desire of the poor to take advantage of everything tending to promote cleanliness in their persons and dwellings, by re ferring to the great number of poor persons who supported baths and washhouses; that in some cases the latter, although only charging mere nominal sums for admis sion, had realised profits amounting to 100 per cent. Mr. Cochrane concluded his lecture by urgently re questing all present to work individually with the view of inducing the authorities to give to the poor that which the rich could take for themselves, and by such means to raise morally and physically the condition of the former class. The lecture was very respectably attended, sad listened to with much attention. MADEIRA ORANGES.—The cultivation of this deli cious fruit is likely to form an important feature in the export trade from Madeira, the soil being in every way adapted for the growth, the temperature being similar to that of the Azores. A small parcel in boxes, the first received in this country as an article of commerce from that quarter, has just arrived, consigned to Keeling and Hunt, Monument-yard, by the Dart, Captain Newton. The fruit is perfectly sweet. This vessel has likewise brought a large quantity of bananans in a ripe state, specimens of walnuts, chestnuts, green citrons, and sugarcanes, all the growth of Madeira, being sent over as a sample of the productive capabilities of the place, to test their applicability to English tastes. The interesting and novel entertainment, by Ma dame Warton and her troupe, at the rooms of the late Miss Linwood, in Leicester-square, are respectably and numerously attended. The tableaux represent, in living figures, the works of the most eminent artistes, and we arranged with the greatest taste and delicacy. Of those received with the most applause arc " Ariadne," " Cain and Abel," and a Grecian Harvest Homo." The figures in the latter are grouped as peasants dancing and merry-making on the green, each * decorated with gar lands and ears of corn, emblems of their rural occupa tion, the band playing a favourite air, accompanied by a choir of singers. This joyous group has altogether a pleasing and lively effect, and is nightly encored. Decks repetita placebit." Mr. Adams, in conducting the scenic arrangements, displays the same taste that so frequently drew forth public encomium during the time he so successfully catered for the visitors to Vauxhall. Tan WlLL.—This subject, so abundant in various interest—exciting now to laughter and now to tears, is the theme of a new work of fiction by a very clever writer, who has already obtained for himself deserved reputation. This new romance, which will appear next week, i 3 entitled " The Will ; or, the Half Brothers." There are reasons why the present work must appear anonymously. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. ronTsmou'ru, Nov. 20.—The Terrible steam-frigate. Captain Ramsay, arrived at Spithead this morning at eleven o'clock, and saluted the Commander-in-Chief with seventeen guns. The Myrtle steam-vessel, Second Master Commander Balliston, is ordered to Cowes to-day with the band of the Royal Marine corps, the attendance of which is com manded by her Majesty to perform this evening at Osborne during dinner, and to serenade the Princess Royal to-morrow morning, on the occasion of the sixth anniversary of her Royal Highness's birthday. A most severe gale has been blowing here since six o'clock this morning, and the tide having risen unusually high, has caused much damage to goods and property in ground stores alongshore. The Emerald tender arrived last night from Plymouth, from which port she sailed on Monday afternoon. Be tween twelve and one on Tuesday morning, being off the Start Point, with a fresh southerly breeze, and going about eight knots, she ran on board a schooner going in the opposite direction, and who, having strangely enough taken her to be a fishing-vessel trawling, thought she could pass her ahead. The collision was so violent that the schooner sank in about a quarter of an hour. Her crew (five in all) were fortunately saved by the Emerald, and landed at Dartmouth, to which port they be longed. The vessel was called the Fancy, and belonged to Brixham. Thp night is said to have been very dark, and the weather thick. The Emerald has received but little damage; her port bulwarks are partly stove in, and her bowsprit iron wrenched out, The Rhadamanthus steam-transport, Master Com manding Thomas Leen, arrived this afternoon from Ply mouth, with the extra marines brought by the Terrible from Sir William Parker's squadron. The Scourge steam bomb-vessel, Commander James C. Caffin, is ordered into harbour to land her mortar and shells, preparatory to taking stores, dispatches, parcels, &c., for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker's squadron at Lisbon. Can any commentary be necessary after such acknowledgment as this of the inefficiency of a steam bomb-vessel? In Harbour—St. Vincent, Victory, Excellent, Vic toria and Albert, and Rattlesnake; Penelope, Myrtle, Echo, and Fairy steamers. At Spithead—Terrible, Scourge, and Rhadamanthus. , In Dock—Prince Regent, Edinburgh, Leander, Ajax, Resistance, Serpent, and Champion. In the Basin—Vengeance, Crocodile, and Naiad. Woonevecu, Nov. 20.—Rear-Admiral Sir Francis A. Collier Knight, C.B. and K.C.H., accompanied by Com mander Smith, of the William and Mary yacht, went on board the Avon steam-vessel, Captain Denham, to inspect the crew and vessel on their return from the coast of Africa, to be paid off at Woolwich. The captain, officers, and crew enjoy excellent health, and the captain has succeeded in accomplishing the object for which the vessel was fitted out—to survey a difficult part of the coast of Africa, and went over a greater extent of coast than was originally contemplated, with satisfactory re sults. Captain Denham has brought home a number of live botanical specimens in perfect health, with various seeds of rare plants—some beautiful live love-birds, and pre served specimens of the quadruped and insect tribes. He has also numerous specimens of the dresses, arms, and canoes of the natives, and other objects of a rare and interesting nature. On the hearth-rug, in front of the fireplace in the captain's cabin, lay a beautiful African gazelle, one of the smallest species of the deer tribe, evi dently in the enjoyment of the best health. It is full grown, and only betwixt 12 and 13 inches high, although three years of age ; it is of delicate symmetry, the thickness of its fore legs, below the knees, being under half an inch in diameter, with the hairs of its skin scarcely longer than the soft surface of a piece of velvet. Its head is proportionably small, and tapering to a point almost as pointed as the bills of the feathered tribes. Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier, on leaving the Avon steam-vessel, proceeded on board the Gorgon steam• vessel, Commander Crouch, to inspect the crew on the return of the vessel to be paid off, after three years and ten months' service on the South-American station. The Royal Marines, Marine Artillery, and crew, were mu,tered on deck to receive the Rear-Admiral, and went through their duties on hoard in a very efficient manner. The Encounter steam-sloop was towed up the river to-day, having been brought round from Pembroke, where she was launched, to have her engines fitted by the Messrs. Penn. The Seringapatam, 42- gun ship was towed down the river yesterday by the African steam-vessel, to Sheer ness. It is said the Seringapatam will be fitted with jury masts, and taken to the Cape of Good Hope, to be used as a coal depfit. SHEERNESS, Nov. 20.—The Belleimle troop-ship, Cap tain Kingcome, having completed her refit and drawn charts for the Mediterranean and South American sta tions, sailed on Saturday for Devonport to receive her final orders. The Rose, FS, barque rigged, Commander Pelley, ar rived on Sunday from Spithead and the West Indies. She was towed into harbour on Monday, and will bo paid off this day. The Mutine, 12, Commander Tryon, arrived from Chatham on Monday, and having undergone the usual inspection by the Commander-in-Chief, sailed on Tues day for Spithead, where she is to be paid advance wages before proceeding to the Mediterranean station. The Euryalus, 42, convict-ship, will be ready for sea this day, but as she leaks considerably, it is intended to take her into dock to recaulk her bottom. The Speedwell, tender to the Blazer, has arrived from Harwich to be refitted. The Raven cutter, Commander Stephen, was paid off on Monday, but will be immediately re-commissioned. The Goodwill, lighter, has sailed with stores for Devonport. The Birkenhead, steam troop-ship, Commander In grain, is progressing rapidly with the many alterations in her interior fittings. In Dock—The Formidable, 84, Horatio, 44, the Birkenhead, and the Dart , 3, building. In Harbour—The Ocean, 80, Rose, 18, Raven, 3, and Wildfire steamer, CHATHAM, Nov. 20.—The Mutine, 12 guns, Com mander Tyron, owing to the wind and tide, did not leave the harbour until the 16th instant, when she was towed to the Nore by the African steam-vessel, and thence proceeded to Portsmouth the following day. The Al batross, 16 guns, Commander Farquhar, is in harbour, progressing with her rigging, and is complete, excepting trifling jobs incidental thereto, and some anticipated alterations in the cabins. The Boxer steam gunboat—The works on this vessel are ordered to be suspended, and the works of the Eury alus are also suspended, waiting for orders for the situa tion of the screw. The Duck sailed this day with stores for Sheerness Dockyard. The Rochester remains loading for Portsmouth, Ply mouth, and Milford. Mr. Whittle, chief clerk in the Captain Superinten dent's-office, is promoted from third-class clerk to that of second-class. This morning a detachment of the men of the Royal Marines from this division proceeded en route for Wool wich, where they will remain for further orders. Admiral Sir E. Codrington, G.C.8., is on a visit to his son-in-law, Captain Sir Thomas Bourchier, K.C.8., Captain Superintendent of this yard. The Gallant Ad miral is expected to remain some days. THE REPRESENTATION OF WEYMOUTH. FAIDAY.—Last night a meeting of the Liberal electors T of this borough was convened at the Royal Hotel to receive the new Liberal candidate, Colonel Freestun, and hear his political sentiments. The late mayor of the borough, Mr. W. Devenish, took the chair. Mr. Dinar= came forward amid loud cheers, and reminded the electors that on a recent occasion ha had referred to Mr. Gordon's conduct towards himself, and had stated at a public meeting in Weymouth that he had received a letter from Mr. Dodson, avowing that he had strong reasons for believing that Mr. Gordon had been engaged in intrigues against him (Mr. Christie), not there, but elsewhere. He added that, for the sake of Mr. Gordon's character as well as his own, there should be inquiries and explanations elsewhere. He was afterwards called on to explain, and informed that if an explanation satisfactory to Mr. Gordon was not given, he must resort to that which was usually understood to be the resort on these occasions.—(Laughter.) Now he (Mr. Christie) was not ashamed to say in that public meeting what he said to the friend who brought him the message, that he had long since made up his mind that under no circumstances whatever would he be a party to a duel.—(Ceeers.) It was a crime forbidden by the laws of the country and the commands of God; he considered it his duty to use his utmost influence for the purpose of preventing others from following it, andlwith these views he had joined the London Association for the Prevention of Duelling. But, although he would not fight a duel, he considered it a duty to repair to the utmost of his power any wrong that he might uninten tionally have committed, and he therefore placed himself in the hands of an experienced and discreet friend, Sir Denis le Marchant, who, being of opinion that the words amounted to a charge against Mr. Gordon, he (Mr. Christie) made the amends honorable in the following words, which ho sent to Mr. Gordon:— " Mr. Christie, having placed himself in Sir Denis le Marchant's hands, and finding. that he views the words extracted by Mr. Gordon from Mr. Christie's speech as amounting to a charge of intriguing elsewhere, feels bound to take upo n hi mse lf the responsibility which Sir Denis le Marchant attaches to the words, although he had no intention of making a charge, and. be therefore readily states that he had no sufficient ground for the charge, and expresses his regret that he should have used words which had that effect." The Hon. Member then adverted to the part he took in Parliament last session. He was a friend to the poor laws, and believed the principles of the Poor-law Amend ment Act to be sound, just, and benevolent ; but the ad ministration of it by the present Commissioners had been as bad as it could be—(Hear, hear)—and he believed the Weymouth Union would afford an illustration even as strong as that of Andover of the necessity of summary removal of men whe had so abused their trust. The Hon. Member concluded by recommending Col. Freestun. Colonel FREESTUN then stood forward, and shortly addressed the electors in a speech in which he avowed himself a staunch supporter of the present Government. Ho was, he also said, an advocate for a searching inquiry into and revision of the Poor-laws. The meeting was afterwards addressed by Mr. Taskor, Mr. Rebens, Admiral Ferris, and Mr. Raggett. Resolutions pledging the meeting to support Mr. Christie and Colonel Freestun at the next election, were carried., STATE OF TRADE IN SOMERSET.—At Chard some of the manufactories in the bobbin-net trade are work ing day and night continually.—Sherborne Journal.

War-oftieP " , o s , .04ov. 17. 1846. Sir,—The arrange t _ one settlement s w ith sol :0 from the army and the allow ancesn such occasion, having been under d c o i e ii r s s id o me n raa t dt h ieo e tn i ro, T d t ~,s .e c a o r ...ave the honour to signify to you her Majesty's pleasure that in every ease of the discharge of a saiier in Great Britain or Ireland, whether with or without pension or gratuity, except when he is dis charged by purchase, or for bad conduct, the following rules shall be observed from and after the Ist of January, 1847, instead of those hitherto applicable, viz. : Rule 1. The discharged soldier, whatsoever shall have been his rank or the rate of his pay at the time of his discharge, shall receive an allowance of one shilling per diem for twenty days from the date of his discharge, and if he shall have necessarily attended at Kilmainham for the completion there of his discharge, this allowance shall be extended to twenty-five days ; and in case the soldier shall be entitled to a higher rate of pension than one shilling a day, he shall receive the difference be tween the allowance of one shilling and his rate of pen sion for the twenty or twenty-five days respectively. Rule 2. He shall also be provided at the public ex pense with a conveyance to his home, or intended place of residence, if not more distant than the place of his original enlistment, by steam-vessel or railway, as far as either shall be available and least expensive, and when not available, by such other suitable means as shall be found, at a cost not exceeding railway fare. Rule 3. If any part of the distance shall be necessarily travelled on foot, and the pension of the discharged soldier shall not exceed Is. a day, he shall re ceive for every complete ten miles, and the pro portion over, if not less than five miles of such part of the distance, an allowance of 6d.; or if his pension exceed ls., anti be less than Is. Gd. a day, the difference between these rates. But no allow ance for distance travelled on foot shall be issued to a discharged soldier whose pension amounts to ls. Gd. a day. Rule 4. The stoppage to be made from the discharged soldier for rations when actually supplied to him on board any steamer or other vessel in proceeding to his home or intended place of residence, shall be 6d. a day. Rule 5. For the discharged soldier's wife and children, conveyance at the public expense shall also be provided for the same distance, and in the same manner as for himself, as stated in rule No. 2. And for such distance as shall be necessarily travelled on foot, as adverted to in rule No. 3, an allowance of lid. a mile shall be issued for the wife, and Id. per mile for each child not above 14 years of age. Rule 6. If the discharged soldier, with his wife and children, shall be unavoidably detained at any port waiting for a passage by steam or other vessel to proceed to his home or intended place of residence, an allowance of 10d. per day for the period of such detention, except for the day of arrival and that of embarkation, shall be issued for the wife, and 6d. a day for each child not above 14 years of age. And when rations in kind at the public expense shall not be supplied on such passage, an allowance of 6d. per day for the probable period of the passage shall be issued for the wife, and 3d. a day for each child not above 14 years of age. I have to add that appropriate forms for charging these allowances will be supplied from this office upon requisition in the usual course. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant. F. MAULE. TILE NEW SYSTEM OF PRISON DISCIPLINE. War•offiice, Nov. 17, 1846. Sir,—lt being very desirable to ascertain the effect produced by the new system of prison discipline, as adopted in the military prisons, on the general character and conduct of soldiers who have been confined therein, I am directed to request that you will cause the enclosed forms of return to be filled up in duplicate, and trans mitted to this office for the half-) ears to 30th of June and 31st of December, 1845, and to 30th of June, 1846; and that you will in future cause similar returns to be made up and forwarded to 30th June and 31st December in each year. These returns should in future be completed and sent off at the expiration of three months after the above half yearly periods, so as to allow of sufficient time to enable you to form a judgment of the character and conduct of men who may have been released from confinement in a military prison on or shortly prior only to the 30th of June or 31st of December. When a regiment is ordered to proceed abroad, the return for the previous half-year should, if possible, be transmitted prior to its embarkation, and a return for the whole regiment should be forwarded for the broken period to the date of separation of the service companies and depot by the former, at the expiration of three months from such date. The depot companies will, of course, render a separate return from the date of their separation from the service companies to the end of the half.)ear, and continue similar returns half-yearly. The service companies of a regiment arriving at a foreign station where a military prison is established, and set apart as such by the Secretary-at-War, under the 28th section of the Mutiny Act, will render similar returns for the half-yearly periods subsequent to its arrival at such station, but not otherwise. I have the honour to be, Sir, Year most obedient humble servant, L. SULLIVAN. HEALTH OF SOLDIERS IN MILITARY PRISONS. War-Office, Nov. 17, 1846 Sir,—lt having been represented to the Secretary at War that when a prisoner is committed to a military prison with appearances of recent medical treatment, or symptoms of being affected in his mind, the medi cal officer in attendance on the prison, unless fur nished with full information on the subject, has fre quently much difficulty in deciding on the cause of the former or the truth of the latter, and whether the man is malingering or not ; and he is therefore obliged to depend for the discovery of the facts on his own tact and judgment, or on the prisoner's own statement of his case. lam directed, therefore, to request, in order to avoid the risk of injuring by hard labour a prisoner debilitated by recent illness previously to his commit ment, and to defeat on the other hand imposition on the part of malingerers, that you will direct the medical officers of the regiment under your command to transmit to the medical officer of the prison, in all such instances, a special medical report of the prisoner's case, in addi tion to any remarks that he may think proper to append to his certificate in the body of the form of commitment. I am further to acquaint you that when it is found ne cessary to remove soldiers confined in a military prison before the time stated in their commitment as the ter mination of their imprisonment, a short notice of the in tended removal should be transmitted to the governor or officer in charge of the prison, by post) or otherwise, in order that the medical officer of the prison may have due intimation of the prisoner's removal, and time for inspecting them medically previously to the arrival of the escort.—l have the honour to be, &c., L.

X 33,772,1517 CETLON.—APPEARANCE OF THE CHOLERA. —By letters from Ceylon of the 9th of September, it iippears that the cholera was rife at Kandy. Several soldiers of the 95th Regiment had died of the disorder. The sittings of the Supreme Court had been removed from Kandy to Colombo, on account of the sickness.—The Lancet. THE TROOPS IN SINDE.—The following is an ex tract of a letter just received from John Level!, a private in the Ist battalion of the 60th Royal R ifles, by his friends residing at Oakley - green , near Windsor, dated " Camp, Kurrachee, Lower Sinde, September 24, 1846 :" —" This is one of the most unhealthy stations in India. First, there is nothing but a barren desert for hundreds of miles around us ; and , secondly, i t is visited with the very worst of diseases, such as dysentery , jaundice, liver complaints, brain fever, and several others equally dan gerous to Europeans. We have also been visited with the true Asiatic cholera, the most fatal disease of all others. That disease visited us with dreadful 'violence in June last. It broke out in th e camp on the 15th of J une , an d took from the 86th Reg iment of the Line about 200 men, from the Bombay Fusileers 150 men, and from our regiment, the most fortunate in the camp, 83 men, in only five days. On the 15th we buried 18 men in one large grave we dug for them, and on the following day 27 of my comrades and one child in another large pit. Coffins could not be provided,' and the immediate burying of the bodies was indispensable. They were, therefore, sown up in canvass, and laid i n one grave , p ac k e d t o g e ther like herrings in a barrel. Lime was then strewn over them, to consume the remains, and to keep off infection. The number of the natives who died during the time the cholera raged was estimated at 6,000 ; but no accurate accounts can be given, as they fled from their homes at the first outbreak to the mountains, and those who sur vived did not return until the expiration of upwards of six weeks afterwards, when all farther danger was sup posed to be over. The scene, during the raging of the cholera, was awful in the extreme. Since we have been in the country we have lost in our regiment, 1 officer, 122 men, 22 women, and 47 children. Lieutenant-Colonel Marsham is now in command of the battalion." SEVERN NAPIG4TION.—It is expected that in the course of a fortnight the works will, be so far completed as that a clear six feet channel will be open from Stour port to Gloucester. The company will 3 then be enc!.• powered to exact tolls. The engineeers express their belief that the present number of locks and weirs will be sufficient, and that the required cl. , ,pth may at all times be maintained by dredging.— Worcester Journal.

NIVRAY'S BALSAMIC PILLS, a certain cure for gonorrhoea, strictures, pains in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages. These Pills, having been employed in upwards of . 1,800 cases in private practice prior to being adver tised—in many thousand cases since, and in no one instance known to fail—are strongly recommended as the only safe and efficacious remedy in present use in all stages of those disorders, and entirely obviating the necessity of having recourse to those disgusting, nau seous, and in many cases highly injurious medicines, as cubebs and copaiba; the dangerous results of the latter in the inflammatory stages are too well known to need any comment. Prepared only IT M. 0. Wray ; and sold wholesale and retail at 89, Fetter-lane, late the White Horse Booking Office ; may also be had of all respectable Patent Medicine Vendors in town and country. Subjoined are a few of the many favourable notices of the above Phis by the Press, with which M. 0. Wray has been honoured, and numerous medical gentlemen and private individuals have borne testimony to their superior efficacy. " The illusions of prejudice are at once dispelled when the bright beams of truth flash conviction on the mind. In what appertains to medical science, prejudice often predominates; this was evi -1 deuced even with a malignant propensity to the illustrious Dr. Har vey, who first discovered the circulation of tile blood in the human body. Every improvement In the science of Therapeutics, or the art of healing, renders the person who introduces it a friend and bene factor to mankind. There is a medicine, against which, we believe, no prejudice exists, and the transcendent excellence of which has been infallibly demonstrated by the immense good it has invariably effected. We refer to Mr. Wray's Balsamic Pills, of Holborn-hill, which are prepared without a particle of that nauseous and delete rious article, copaiba."—Sunday Times. " In the annals of medical science, few medicines have obtained so high and well merited a degree of celebrity as Wray's Balsamic Pills. Their infallible healing properties are fully demonstrated by the perfect restoration to health of an immense number of persons afflicted with strictures and other disorders of the urethra. The pro prietor of this invaluable medicine has most judiciously excluded from these pills that deleterious article, copaiba, which may ac count in some degree for the astonishing cures they have effected, and which have established their fame for ever." —Morning Chro nicle. "Every discovery in medical science must be hailed as an auspi cious event. This observation will especially apply to the Balsamic Pills prepared by Mr. Wray, of Holborn-hill. The unique properties of this invaluable medicine in the cure of local debility, disorders of the urethra, &c., have been fully demonstrated, and reflect a lustre upon Mr. Wray's professional skill, which is enhanced by his judicious exclusion of copalba."—Bell's Life. " Indefatigable researches into various branches of science have in numerous instances proved abortive ; but in some they have proved pre-eminently successful, and highly beneficial to the public. In support of this observation the medical skill developed in the pre paration of Mr. Wray's Balsamic Pills is a full corroboration. No medicine has been more efficient, or better calculated at once to be nefit the community, and reflect permanent honour on the abilities and talents of the inventor and proprietor, to whom may be applied the motto of the immortal Nelson—' Palmam qui meruit ferat.'

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what ken T. reach in health full threescore years andt en." These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects o very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able b understand ought to know, but which information:in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionab e hannels, is at a very terrible:discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every render shall become his or her own physician any mere than their own lawyer, 1•72 t it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the law whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several Isealth3 states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our Individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happines within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in Milling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his ewe wilt hags, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.
