We cannot have a better proof of the value at tached by the United States to British America than the fact that they urge the general government to assume the provincial debts, and to annex the territory. Mr. Taylor possesses statesmanship enough to provide for an improvement to which the Canadian Government have shown most reprehen sible indifference—the enlargement of the Canadian canals. Mr. Taylor proposes to appropriate fifty millions of dollars " to aid the navigation of the St. Lawrence and the Great Lakes, that vessels of 1,500 tons burden shall pass from the Gulf of St. Lawrence to Lakes Michigan and Superior." Although ignored and neglected by the Canadian Government the scheme is quite feasible.

STAMPED sd . of which was a dispensary station, open night and day. Five men were employed in disinfecting. In the district of Bow and Bromley, with a popu lation of about 50,000, there had been between 2,000 and 3,000 cases of diarrhoea during a week and cholera in proportion. On Thursday last, ac cording to the medical officers of the Local Board of Works, there were 154 new cases of diarrhea, 17 new cases of cholera, and six deaths. The private practitioners on the same day reported 112 new cases of diarrhcel, 13 of cholera, and one death ; but their returns were imperfect. The committee made a grant in this case of £l5O. In the Christ Church or Marsh district of Strat ford there were 150 cases of cholera under treatment yesterday, but the reports were rather more favour able generally in the East of London than they had been. Before the committee separated yesterday the Rev. W. Rogers urged upon them the necessity of taking steps • towards establishing a temporary home for convalescents, referring to a case in which a whole village had been infected by a convalescent child which had been removed thither from London. The Trinity-house, Corporation have made a donation of £5O to the committee for this express purpose. During the past week the epidemic has been steadily though slowly on the increase about the river and the docks, and the number of patients re ceived by the Dreadnought authorities on board the Belleisle up to this date amounts to 35. The Com mercial Dock still continues to contribute a large proportion of this number, and the locality of other cases indicates a very defective sanitary condition of the upper and lower pools, particularly off the well-known landing-place called Stone-stairs, where colliers and other small craft are moored in tiers of two or three deep. The Committee of Management of the Seamen's Hospital Society have resolved to commence a daily inspection of vessels lying on the river between Loudon-bridge and Woolwich, and there is no doubt that this arrangement will, as a preventive aid, afford very great benefit to the vast floating population of this port.

Sin—However good the water supply may bo made by care or filtering, it is poisoned afresh in every house by the modern cheap, abominable practice of having ono and the same cistern to serve both water closets and sinks for drinking purposes. To all water closets there is a length of pipe more or lees always full of the foulest air, which, on the lifting of the valve, rushes up into the cistern, ever polluting it, and in the time of epidemic making it the wet nurso of contagion. To the fond belief or assertion that the water descending drives out the bad air, I declare to you, sir, most emphati cally and earnestly, that it is not true. Lot any one stand ever a cistern where a closet below is used, let any house keeper, any builder, or ono of my own profession do it, 1.1111111 • A.-. supply to the kitchen boiler, and he will see and smell what ho will not easily forgot. Let any ono come to mo and see two cisterns side by side both emptied and refilled daily in constant use by sinks and closets, he will seo that for the former clean, the latter with a horrible scum. You speak plainly of the danger of the poor pcopio using the same pails for fetching water and for cholera patients (and it is no time now to be pricking for words when hundreds are dying), but if the air from the stool of a patient can be seen rising into a cistern or butt at the very moment that some one is drawing water for drinking or cooking can that bo harmless ? We drink the virus of disease. I would gladly show how easily and cheaply an old or new cistern can be divided to keep the sink or clean part from contamination by the closet or foul part without an addi tional service and ball-cock. I have had the arrangeinent in use for years, but the owners of poor property will not afford, and there is not time for alteration. This, however, can be done quickly. The district boards can have stand pipes in the infected neighbourhoods for all corners for drinking purposes. The visitation is more fearful than frost or fire.—l am, sir, yours faithfully, J. J. COLE, Architect, Stock Exchange. the route at Lake Erie. On the other hand, it takes the Welland Canal on the Canadian side to Lake Ontario—to Oswego—passing by the canal of that name to the main Erie Canal. The latter connects Lake Erie with Albany—the waters of the Hudson. Such is the pressure of the trade that a vessel is eleven and twelve days passing front Lake Erie to the Hudson. New York is thus the one seaport of the West, but it would cease to be so to a great extent if the Canadian canals were deepened, and the navigation improved, as Mr. Taylor, who is a Western man, has the sagacity to see. No little of the trade would then be transferred to Boston, which, indeed, might become the depot of the west. But the greatest benefit resulting from this work would accrue to Canada. If the canals were deepened so thata sea-going vessel could pass, without breaking bulk in its cargo, to the Far West, the maritime high way would be through that province. For it may be said that the Erie Canal can be improved only to a very limited degree, owing to the difficulty of obtaining water, which is nowadmitted tobe barelysufficient. It is true that the work would cost millions of dollars, and that the shallow waters of Lakes St. Louis and St. Francis would require a large expenditure to dredge them ; further, the necessity of keeping the naviga tion open while the enlargement was in progress would add greatly to its expense. But no one has doubted the feasibility of the scheme, or, at all events, has put his objections in such a form that they can be examined and answered. On the other hand, the condition of improving the navigation has been examined both by American and Canadian writers of eminence, at length, and with ability, to the extent that the information at the disposal of the writers would admit. It is plain that the American authorities are conversant with the value of the St. Lawrence as a highway, and General Banks may be considered to represent the public opinion of his State when he proposes that it shall be developed. Here lies the value of his extraordinary pro position to the English statesman. Even its ridicu lous side disappears when it is so considered. The well-wisher of Canada ought, therefore, to be thank ful. But to judge by the tone of indignation which without exception, characterises Canadian journal ism, British America is not particularly grateful to the General at the offer of incorporation in the great republic. If, however, Canada, and the maritime provinces would examine it from our standing-point, they might thing differently. Very probably the attention of English statesmen may be directed to the subject by it ; and, what evidently is more diffi cult to effect, Canadian politicians may be turned away from their bickerings and intrigues to consider a policy which will advance every interest in the province, and will give a healthy stimulus to trade, so that progress will really be effected. It is hard, indeed, to unlerstand the indifference with which this important project has been treated. ',~ -~.~- . 2 -44 ‘el a s TO THE EDITOR. OF THE TIMES. Sir, —In your impression of the 6th inst. I noticed a letter from a correspondent, signed J. J. Cole, Esq., relat ing to the impurities of water occasioned by the practice of having ono and the same cistern to serve both water-closet, sinks, and for thinking purposes. The remarks he makes are quite correct, but only refer to the ad system of water-closets, which require a service box at bottom of the cistern with a valve, which is opened when the handle of closet is raised by means of wire and cranks. Attached to the service box is an air pipe, which causes the foul air to pass from the closet into the cistern. This is entirely obviated by my patent W.C. apparatus, as service box, wires, cranks, and air pipes are entirely dispensed with. My patent W.C. apparatus consists of a valve and brass air regulator attached to the closet, allow ing a column of water to remain in the supply pipe, which immediately flows into the basin of the closet upon the handle being raised. The supply pipe is fixed at the bot tom of supply valve, forming a dip or trap of about six inches, and thereby preventing the possibility of any foul air passing up the supply pipe into the cistern should the cistern at any time become empty. The valve is a safety one, opening with the expansion of the water in frosty weather and preventing the pipes from bursting ; whereas, according to the old system, the water in the pipe is en tirely discharged, allowing foul air to accumulate, which forces itself into the cistern, causing the water to bo affected, and producing the scum mentioned by your correspondent. I beg to remain, Sir, your obedient servant, If. G. UNDERHAY, Engineer, Clerkenwell. The Value of British America. (From the London Review.) General Banks, of Massachusetts, out of his own State, is not known to fame. In the days of the American cilil war he was heard of for a moment as the cause of ignominious failure and disgrace to the Federal arms; and he subsequently attracted some attention by his absurd conduct in connection with the Paris Exhibition. He now comes to the surface again, and we fiud him bringing a bill before Con gress to annex British North America to the Unit ed States. The proposal, however, that the !Jill!

Blagden, the coroner for the western division of Sussex, opened an inves tigation at the Railway Arms Inn, Horsham, into the circumstances attending the death of John Snatt, aged 23, a stoker in the employ of the London and Brighton Railway Company, who was killed on Sa turday night by a collision at the Itchingfield Junc tion, as described in our yesterday's paper. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded by spe cial engine, accompanied by the coroner, to view the body, which was lying at the Itchingfield Junction, and the scene of the accident. Mr. J. J. Merriman, solicitor, of Queen-street, Cheapside, attended on behalf of Edward Reay, the driver of the Portsmouth down train.; and Mr. Car penter, superintendent of police on the Brighton line, represented the company, On the return of the jury, Edward Jackson, engine driver in the service of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, spoke to the identity of the deceased. Mr. T. Bryan Greenwood deposed that he was a surgeon at Two Mile Ash, and that on Saturday night, at a quarter to 10 o'clock, he was called to the junction. He went directly, and found the de ceased lying on the metals, quite dead. The frontal bone of the head was driven quite in on to the brain, which was quite sufficient to account for death. James Strudwick said-1 am a signalman at Stammerham Junction, on the Mid-Sussex Railway. I do not know how far Stammerham Junction is from Horsham or Itchingfield. The Portsmouth express train from London ought to leave Three Bridges at 8.33, and run through Horsham without my box at 8.50. The 7.15 up train stopping, passing from Brighton is due at Horsham at 8.33. From my signal box I can see the distance signal at Itch ingfield signal box, but we cannot see the semaphore at Itchingfield. At night our signals are by lamps, red indicating to stop, and when it is all right to go on the distance signal shows white, and the " auxi liary" signals at the branches show green. The Portsmouth express passed my box on Saturday night at 9.16-8.50 was the proper time. I always book as they pass ; it is part of my duty to do so. I noticed nothing about the signals as she passed. 'T'ha 111 } .rains Crnm npicriAnn should have passed my station at 8.29. On the night in question tne train never reached my box, but I heard the trains go together at about 9.17. I did not leave my box or look at the other signals then. I had to book my train. By Mr. Merriman—l am not certain whether the train which preceded the Portsmouth train down was behind time or punctual. The preceding up train from Brighton was behind time. I have not my book with me. (The further evidence of the witness on this poi n t was postponed f or t h e produc tion of his book.) On Saturday, just before this accident, I did not see the Itchingfield distance sig nal. If I had seen the signal at Itchingfield indi cating danger I should have stopped the train. If I had seen the Itchingfield distance signal indicat ing danger I should not have allowed the Ports mouth down train to have passed without warning it. By the Coroner —If I had known there had been anything the matter before the train got to my sig nals I could have stopped it. By Mr. Me rriman —Unless I had been instructed by signal I should not have stopped the train. I was not told to-day either to bring my books with me or to leave them behind. By the Coroner—The signal to stop from one box I had no instructio ns f rom t h e Itchingfield to another is by five beats on Tyer's patent signal. signal man on that night to stop the train, and it would not have been right out such instructio ns. for me to stop the train with- Charles Hunt, fireman of the Brighton up train on Saturday, said—nn Saturday night we ought to have left Bright on at 7.15, b ut we were twelve minutes late at starting. The driver of our en gine was James Manwell, and William Burgess was the guard. Coming to the Itchingfield Junc tion the distance signal was " off," showing that the line was clear. It showed a white light. The sema phore at the box and the distance semaphore were also a green light.

Burgess, deposed—l am a guard Bur in g and W enveloped i I ian l in the service of the company, and on Saturday evening last I left the Brighton station with a train from Horsham. Our right time for leaving was 7.15, but we did not leave till 7.27. 'The reason of our being late was that we waited for the arrival of the Loudon train. We left Southwater at 9.10, but were due there at 8.26. This delay was occasioned by our waiting 17 minutes at Shoreham for the Portsmouth train, and 14 minutes extra at Part , ridge-green, waiting for a down-train from Hor sham. I noticed at Itchingfield that the distance signal was all right, the auxiliary showed a green light, and the semaphore a green light--indicating everything clear. The distance signal really had no light. I took up my Staff just before we got to the auxiliary signal, and was showing it on the left side of the carriage. While so standing I found that something struck my back. I cannot remember much more, as I was stunned by the blow. By the Coroner—The distance signal, which showed no light, ought to have showed a white light. I saw, however, that the disc was all right and indicated " all clear." It was dusk ; but it was light enough to see that on the bank. Mr. Merriman—Are you not instructed when a signal-lamp is out to stop the train ? Witness—Our instructions are when a distance lamp is out to go on to the next signal. Mr. Merriman—How far should you have gone past the distance signal before you stopped ? Witness—Until we got to the auxiliary, and then if that had been out we should have stopped. If the auxiliary showed all right our duty was to go on. By the Foreman—l certainly expected to see a white light at the distance signal, but as it was not there I looked at the disc, and saw that it was all right. The coroner here indicated that he should take the evidence of every person who presented himself before him, whether his conduct might have been such that it might hereafter be called in question or not. James Manwell, driver of the Brighton up train, corroborated the evidence given by the fireman Hunt and by the last witness as to the signals, ex cept that he stated that there was " a shave" of white light in the distance signal where the last witness said there was none. As it was so small he sounded the whistle, shut off steam, and prepared to stop. When he got up to it, however, he saw the auxiliary and the semaphore showing the proper green light. He then took off the break and proceeded with the train. About 50 yards further he saw the head light of a train coming. He spoke to his mate and said, " Good God, is that a train coming? If it is he is coming riglA upon us." Witness found that he was foul of the road, so he put on steam and tried to get across, but in an instant the Ports mouth engine ran into his tender. Witness's en gine broke away from the train, and he stopped it just beyond the signal box. The signalman stood outside close by the ladder. Witness said to him, " Good God, how was this managed ? My signals were all right." He said, " Yes, if you were coming off the branch ; go back and look for yourself ; the main line signals are at ' stop.'" Witness was at that time standing looking at the signals. The semaphore was at " stop," but he could not see the distance. James, the under-guard of the Ports mouth train, observed that the down distance signal was off, and witness replied, " I can't answer for yours---I know mine showed all right." By Mr. Merriman—Our instructions are if a lamp is out to regard it as a stop or danger signal. The distance signal was not out. There was a little light in it. It was next proposed to call the signalman, but as it appeared that his instruction-book was not in court, it was determined at this point to adjourn the inquiry. An adjournment accordingly took place to Fri day next, when the company will produce plans of the line and All the instruction books required. THE CHOLERA. 3IANSION-HOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE. Yesterday, at the Mansion-house alone, irresrec tive of the sums paid into the banks in connection with it, upwards of V.,324 was received towards the fund now being raised there towards the relief of the suffering and destitution occasioned by the visitation of cholera. It is the largest sum that has been received there in one day since the movement was set on foot by the Lord Mayor, acting in con cert with a committee, and it has raised the subscrip tion to nearly £6,000 as tae result, of barely six days' work. The committee were engaged upwards of three hours yesterday in hearing applications for assistance from the fund by local bodies, and in making grants proportionate, as far as possible, to the distressed districts. There were present the Lord Mayor, Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., Mr. Alfred Rothschild, Mr. Nathaniel Rothschild, M.P., Mr. Joseph Hoare, Sir Moldaunt Wells, Mr. R. B. WTade, Mr. Alderman Cotton, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Mr. Needham, the Rev. Wm. Rogers; rector of Bishops gate ; the Rev. F. G. Blomfield, rector of St. An drew Undershaft ; Mr. W. J. Maxwell, Mr. Ripley, Mr. Andrew Johnston, Dr. Andrew Clarke, and Mr. Charles Hutton. A communication was read from the Rev. Robert 11. Atherton, incumbent of St. James's, Ratcliffe, describing the state of that parish, and the rev. gentleman attended before the committee to afford additional information. There, he said, the disease had been fatal, and a local committee, of which he was chairman, had been giving medicines, disinfec tants, and food, as far as their means allowed, but which were wholly inadequate to the necessities of the case. The deaths in Ratcliffe from cholera alone had been 21 for the week ending July 21, 44 for the next week, 47 for the next, and 31 for that end ing Saturday last, being four or five times more than the ordinary average from all diseases. These sudden deaths, he said, had created an immense amount of distress which called for immediate re lief, and while he was writing a poor woman was dying whose husband died on Saturday, leaving her with five children altogether unprovided for, and in a few hours they would in all probability be orphans. That was only one out of many cases, and he should rejoice to help them.. A poor man who died on Friday of cholera was ill twelve hours, and a woman who lived in a back room in the same house, and who went in to see him, died the same day. A child in the same house had since been taken ill, and now the man's wife was dying. The people in the neigh bourhood were becoming greatly excited. The committee made a grant in this case for St. James's, Ratcliffe, of £5O, with five gallons of port wine to be distributed at the discretion of the local com mittee. . According 'to the Rev. Isaac Taylor, incumbent of St. Matthias, Bethnal-green, the epidemic has attacked that part of London with great severity. About 50 cases had come to his knowledge, more than half of which had proved fatal. A local com mittee had been formed, consisting of the clergy, churchwardens, and leading parishioners, and they had already taken energetic measures for preventing the spread of the disease. St. Matthias has a popu lation of between 6,000 and 7,000, and is situate in the very poorest corner of Bethnal-green. On the motion of Sir M. Wells, the committee made a grant of £5O, with five gallons of port wine. From a state ment made to the committee by the Rev. S. Han sard, rector of Bethnal-green, it appeared that the number of applications at the free dispensaries dur ing the week ending Saturday last was 5,783. Of these 2,983 had recovered, 37 had died of cholera and choleraic diarrhoea, 1,340 were under treatment and 1,423 were unaccounted for. Altogether, how ever, he said, there were 118 deaths from cholera and choleraic diarrhoea in the parish last week. A place for an hospital capable of containing 30 beds had been obtained and would be ready on Wednes day. The vestry, of which he was chairman, was convened to consider the Order in Council before an official copy of it had been received. Au hospital would also be opened by the Sisters of l‘lercy, under two medical men, capable of holding 300 patients, in Counnereial-street. The Sisters of Mercy bad also an excellent dispensary in Bethnal -green, under the superintendence of a medical man, and they had made arrangements to supply any number of wipes on an emergency to sick people in Bethnal - green. There were five dispensa ries at work in the parish ; and a house-to-house visitation had been attempted, but the staff was not y et e q ual to it in consequence of the pressure on the dispensaries. The vestry had a three qualified medica l visitors and three assistants, and the parish divided into three districts, in each The Channel Squadron. TORBAY. On Thursday morning, the 9th of August, the Channel squadron got up their anchors. The Admi ral led them out towards the Start Point ; a fresh breeze from north-west was blowing, with a heavy swell from the westwards ; they were in two lines as before, the flagship Caledonia leading the weather line, then the Hector, then the Liverpool. On the port beam were the Achilles and Pallas. Nothing in the way of evolutions took place that day. Towards ,n.•••• • • 1 nwftir south-west, under steam and sail, close hauled on a wind, and standing off and on, with difficulty mak ing any progre,s3 towards Falmouth. When morning dawned the Achilles and Pallas were a long way astern. The Lizard was about 30 miles on the port bow. About 8 o'clock signal was made " prepare two targets" to each ship. About 9.30 they all went to general quarters, and the battle was begun. Each ship dropped a target overboard and steamed slowly round it at 1,100 or 1,200 yards. The firing of shot, shell, and grape was kept up incessantly for two hours. The four ironclads formed a magnificent marine " quadrilateral." There was quite enough swell on to try their gunnery capabilities, of which it may be fairly said that the aim was quite as correct as is generally seen from wooden ships under similar con ditions. The engagement terminated a little before noon by the discharge of a concentrated broadside of shot and shell fom one battery of the Caledonia, the effect of which seemed formidable enough, as, far and near, along the foaming and furrowed bosom of the ocean, the storm of projectiles swept on. The consumption of coals during the last 24 hours showed that the Liverpool had used 18 or 19 tons, and the ironclads about one-third more. In the afternoon the flagship steamed towards Falmouth ; all five ships anchored there at 5 p.m., and the Helicon then came in. PLYMOUTH, Monday Evening. Yesterday at noon the armour-plated ship Lord Clyde hove in sight from the eastward and proceeded down Channel close to the land. At 4 this afternoon eight ships belonging to the Channel squadron hove in sight from the westward, under steam. They consisted of six armour-plated ships, a frigate and a despatch boat. Admiral Yel verton was leading in the Caledonia, followed by the Achilles. The Liverpool was in the rear. To wards 5 o'clock they set their head sails, and con tinued their course to the eastward. A stte7am. o'clock they were off the Bolt-head under full i v l e l ida ni from G.sOohhfiseerthe his lords hi p sense of ;he perform arduous £ b e t Ps hi sm l l: B l t 3 h s i:1 subscribeds t , I have THE SUBSCRIPTION FOR T hw ll otinhpn E ei fol lowing letter from Sir Richard Mayne og C a f p E nn . pe x — ds a uo rs Th uo top i e n aisdt t a h tto o e Times iu tho : Ti : Se Times r, that — I in request (lue additions t yo tou police on the occasionlgoef mtheisb y da L y or r d ece W i by persons anxious tow ttehhmeemPl'arwtteharonisdbtasf:reibeebeen injured ark, and to assist the forbearance or disabled those "long ance of an arduous and painful duty."
