CELIBACY. —Singleness is not always the con sequence of disinclination, disappointed affection, or a diffi culty in meeting with a tit helpmate. Thousands of the unmarried would with joy embrace the sacred conditions of Matrimony, did they feel themselves equal to its obligations; and the chequered page of life reveals innumerable instances where, under that blighting consciousness, man has permitted the most ardent affec tion to consume him to the grave, rather than consign its object to that life of uninitigablo anguish ant fettered solitariness into which his affianced would he plunged if he married. Some are, however, wilful enough to gain the affections of the other sex under these circumstances; and, though not so villanous as to proceed to the altar, will make such excuses for procrastination as contribute to his selfish desire of exclusively_ enjoying her society, by precluding her fr , m accepting other offers. There is scarcely a street where this history is not enacted ; and yet with the exercise of common foresight, its frequency might be so lessened as to ren der an instance rare throughout the entire kingdom. The disqualifications for Marriage have more than one primary source ; the chief of which is Impuissance, arising from four causes :—namely, Natural Deficiency ; the Prostration produced by Early Habits ; the Weakening effects of Later Excesses ; and Nervousness of Tempera ment ; the next sources of importance are hereditary and acquired disease ; and, lastly, men are prevented from marrying by the effects of disease—which, when ill-cured, leaves traces that forbid all im- pulse towards wedlock. In each of these instances it is unhappily too common for the sufferer to consider his case beyond remedy, and he fails to consult even his own medical attendant. such Will dad all obstacles removed by reference to a valuable Manual on Nervous Debility and Generative diseases, the thirty-seventh thousand of which has just been published by its Authors, J. L. CURTIS and CO., Consulting surgeons, 7, Frith-street, Soho-square, London, entitled MANHOOD ; the Causes of its Premature Decline, with Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration, &c., &c. This eminent Work, which is forwarded by W. Strange, B•ookseller, 21, Patnernoster row, London, post-paid, in a sealed envelope for 2s. 6d., in postage stamps, has saved thousands, and the result of its perusal has in variably been a restoration of the reader to his position as a useful mom , er of society. 0 V E is the leading feeling of the human breast. Moro exalted than mere passion, it soars high above every other impulse of nature, and is not only stronger than avarice, but more engrossing even than ambition. No man is exempt from its, influence, or can avoid its sway ; and business, pleasure, philo sophy, and divinity itself become neglected under the enthralling power of LOVE, which, unlike most things, increases in intensity with time, until it receives the sacred consummation of marriage. When union 'does not take 'place, however, this passion, this fervour, this golden tide of the manliest feelings becomes a deadly potson in thy heart, • w hich now darkens, as it before bright ened, all things_ upon 011irth. How ls It that men, of , most un changeable habits, will aninge at the very altar, and after a life time spent in the fulfilment of every engagement, snap the very con tract asunder which should be most binding to an honourable mind? It is the effect of censciencl. The Lover, by enervation of early habits, or - the results of secret disease, knows himself to be disqualified, and dares not enter a state which has , been instituted by Divine Law for the fulfilment of Important ends. The wretched condition of such a being mast subsequently be beyond measure deplorable I Loving and beloved, he entails the most miserable disappointments on the object of his choice, And upon himself a desolation the most horrible, when the simple possession of natural attributes would change the scene, and yield to both a life of unalloyed happiness.

BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON. . - Last night, between the hours of nine and ten, an accident happened to a girl of the name of Long, resid ing in Dutton-street, Cromer-street. It appears that Long and some other girls were at play at the corner of Riley , street, when she got upon the post at the corner, and fell off. She was immediately picked up and taken to the Royal Free Hospital, Qray's Inn-road, where, upon examination, it was ascertained that her arm was broken. The limb was immediately set, and she is now progressing favourably. 40. E v NAVAL IN-TEL LIGENCE..; APPOINTMENTS. Mate—D. J.

The Rifleman, 4-gun schooner, Lieutenant Crofton, is left behind at Cork, as the admiral would not trust her-with him with her heavy guns on board, not con sidering her safe. The Stromboli steam-sloop 6 guns, Commander Lord Amelius Beauclerk, and the Dragon, 6, Captain W. H. Hall; were left at Dublin to attend upon the orders of the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. The Frolic, 16, Captain Vansittart, lately detached from the squadron, arrived at Gibraltar, en route to Malta, on the 20th inst. THB COMMAND IN CHIEF OF PORTSMOUTH.—On Saturday night, at six o'clock, the flag of Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Admiral of the Red, commander-in-chief of the above station, was hauled down from the mast head of her Majesty's ship Victory, flag-ship in Portsmouth Harbour, that officer's period of command having that day expired. It was succeeded yesterday morning at sunrise by the flag of the Hon. Sir Bladen Capel, K.C.8., Admiral of the Blue, now commander in-chief of Portsmouth. The flag was saluted as customary by all the post ships in port at nine o'clock, they at the same time changing theirensigns from red to blue. Sir Bladen Capel commenced transacting his official duties at the Admiralty House in the dockyard yesterday morning. Admiral Sir C. Ogle, the late commander-in-chief of Portsmouth, is staying for a few days at Brighton. The Undine steam-yacht, Lieutenant Jones, R.N., -commending, which lias been attending upon the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty throughout their official inspection of Portsmouth, Plymouth, and the Channel Islands, sailed from Portsmouth for Dover on Saturday morning at daylight. Woormicu, OCT. I.—Captain Lord John Hay, C. 8., and Captain Alexander. Milne, Lords of the Admiralty, visited Woolwich Dockyard yesterday, and inspected the factory; they then proceeded to the Styx steam-vessel, in the east dock, and it has been decided that she is to be taken to Deptford for altera tions and repairs. Their Lordships remained about an hour, and then left for London. The Myrmidon steam-vessel arrived at Woolwich on Friday afternoon, to undergo some repairs. The Sharpshooter _steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Com mander Bailey, returned to Woolwich yesterday evening, from her experimental trial, but the result is not yet known. The Vivid steam-vessel, Captain Smithett, arrived at Woolwich at one rad. to-day. The Vivid brought back the inspector and men of the A division of me tropolitan police; and having left Aberdeen at a quarter past two o'clock Lad., o , made the passage in 47 hours t o WOorw ard, in very unfavourable weather. The Meander, 44, Captain the Hon. H. Keppel, and United States frigate Auckland, were at anchor, at New Harbour, Singapore, on the 6th August. Capt. Keppel has been trying some experiments for the pur pose of ascertaining the eligibility of New Harbour for erecting fortifications, so as to command the passage through the Straits of Singapore, and to afford protection to the island in the event of attempted aggression. The extensive group of islands situated to the eastward of Borneo, and notoriously known as the rendezvous of the pirate and slave vessels which annually visit the shores of the Phillipines, Borneo, and Banca, has at last forced itself on the notice of the British Government. Sir James Brooke, Go vernor of Labuan, has been authorised to negotiate a treaty with Mahomed Ali al Kahier, Sultan of Sooloo, of a somewhat similar character to that already made with the Sultan of Borneo. Sir J. , Brooke was to proceed in the Meander frigate to Sooloo in a month or two, and submit the treaty for his .Highness's approval and signature. The treaty also proposes to forego any cession of the dominions of the Sultan of Sooloo to the Governments, subjects, or citizens of any other state, without the consent of the British Government. Particulars had recently been received of the loss of an American vessel at Sallibobo, one of the_ southernmost island. of the Sooloo group. After the loss of the vessel the sur vivors experienced several desperate encounters with the natives, attended with dreadful slaughter on the side of the assailants. It is estimated that not less than 300 natives must have been killed before posses sion was gained of the • nierchandise and articles removed from the vessel. Neither the vessel nor the cargo was insured, so that the loss to all concerned was a severe one.—Hampshire Telegraph. THE ARMY. ROYAL ARTILLERY, WOOLWICH, OCT. 1.

Her Majesty did not sail from Aberdeen Harbour at the intended hour (2 A.M.) this morning. A driz zling rain, attended by a thick mist, added to the heavy sea without, induced her Majesty to change her intention of going by sea to London, and to adopt the more agreeable mode of travelling by rail to the metropolis. At eignt o chick this morning the Lord Provost went on board the Royal Victoria and Albert yacht to learn the pleasure of the Queen, and after an inter view with the Right Hon. Sir George Grey, he was informed that her Majesty's commands would be com municated to his Lordship at noon. The !Lord Provost accordingly waited on the Home Secretary at the appointed hour, when it was intimated to his Lordship that her Majesty had de termined ,to abandon the sea voyage, owing to the stormy weather, and would proceed at two o'clock, to Perth, there to pass the night, and thence go by rail way direct to London. No time was lost in making the necessary prepara tions for the relanding of her Majesty and the royal retinue; and when it transpired that the royal party was again to pass through the city, a vast concourse of the inhabitants began to congregate in the tho roughfares through which the royal carriages were to pass. It was raining fast at the time, but the showers could not damp the loyal ardour of the populace, who assembled in large numbers, so that the police, assisted by a few " specials," or, as they are termed, "Her Majesty's Honorary Guard," had some difficulty in keeping open a passage for the royal equipages. Between half-past one and two o'clock her Majesty, attended by Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, landed from the Victoria and Albert Yacht, followed by the Prince Consort and the youthful members of the royal family, and at once entered the royal car riage, which was bro ug ht t o th e quay . Si r G . G rey, the ountess of Gainsborough, Sir James Clark, and the other passengers in the royal suite, occupied the two other carriages. From the very disagreeable state of the weather, the carriages were of course closed, and her Majesty's anxious subjects who mus tered to obtain a parting glimpse of the illustrious personages were doomed to disappointment. The Lord Provost and the principal civic functionaries were in attendance at the landing of the Queen and royal party. The cartese proceeded at a rapid ,pace along the quay by - Marischal-street,Unfort-streer„,ind nolborn, along the new road over the Bridge of Dee on the Stonehaven road, and was soon out of sight en route to Perth. Expresses had previously been dispatched from Aberdeen to Perth to provide the necessary relays of horses at the various stages, so that no inconvenience might be experienced by the Royal party from any delays on the road. It was calculated that her Majesty would reach Perth by eight o'clock in the evening. It was understood to have been arranged that her Majesty and the Prince Consort and Royal children would sleep at the George Hotel that night, and, on leaving that place, that they would travel by the Scot tish Central Railway, the Caledonian, and the North Western, to London. PERTH, SATURDAY, Tax, A.M.—This ancient city yesterday afternoon was thrown into the greatest possible excitement by the unexpected news that the Queen and Prince Albert, and their Royal children, were to arrive that evening from Aberdeen, the con templated voyage along the north-east coast having been given up owing to the continuance of tempes tuous weather. At an early hour this morning the inhabitants crowded to the railway station in order to obtain a view, if possible, of the royal party, and the church bells were set a ringing to testify the loyalty of the citizens. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the rest of the royal suite, arrived at the railway terminus at an early hour this morning, and were received by the Lord Provost, several of the local authorities, and the principal officials of the railway, and without the least obstruction or delay, departed by a special train for Edinburgh, and thence via Car lisle and Lancaster to London. During the short period her Majesty stayed she was welcomed with every demonstration of regard by the people. DER MAJESTY'S ARRIVAL IN LONDON. Yesterday morning, at about ten minutes after ten o'clock the Queen and Prince Albert and the royal children arrived by a special train at the terminus of the North-Western. Railway in Euston-square from Crewe, where the royal party slept on Saturday night at the Royal Hotel, the train which brought her Majesty,from Edinburgh not having proceeded further than that station on the line. We understand the special train which brought her Majesty and suite to town left Crewe soon after seven o'clock, and only stopped When the engine required to be supplied with water. , Mr. Stewart, the- -secretary, • Mr. Creed, Mr. Brooks, and several: gestlemen connected with the railway company, were in attendance to receive the Queen and Prince Consort. From the admirable facilities afforded by the management there was not the slightest delay,- so that in a few minutes after the arrival of the train her Majesty was on her way to Buckingham Palace. Her. Majesty and her illustrious Coniort appeared to be in the enjoyment of excellent health and spirits, and in nowise fatigued by the long journey, whic h extended oven a distance of more than five hundred miles. .

' IMO U Ng 2 4 - _ REVIE.WV the lIJONEY MARKIIi for the MONTH of SEPTEMBER. This has been a very quiet month ; but there has been a tendency towards improvement more or less distinct in almost all quarters. Money is almost as cheap as in, the spring. First class paper can be done at something very near 24 per cent.; and on the Stock Exhange employment is not easy at a per cent. less. Consols have been exceedingly steady, and leave off at 86. Exchequer -bills have vibrated at about 25 to 30 ; and the only class of people who seem to have any sound cause to complain of a formidable depre ciation are the holders of railway shares. There cer tainly has - been a remarkable fall during the last few months in these securities. The following is a specimen of the prices at pre ' sent• • London and worth Western . 110 Great Western BO Midland York and North Midland • Comparing these rates with the rate of 1846 or ,even df 1847: is not a pleasant, although it may pos sibly. be an instructive employment. Recovery must Cone.from the companies, and not from the money market. The money market is as ,easy as it well can be. But so long as the public are justified by events in looking with suspicion on the financial stability of these concerns, it can excite no great surprise that an article which everybody distrusts will fall into the hands of somebody it a characteristic price.-- Banker's Magazine: STATE OF TRAIPE. MANCHESTER, SEPT. 30.—Our report this month Ls of a less favourable character than that for the pre ceding one, and we regret that it should be so. Though during the greater part of August the market was seriously and prejudicially influenced by causes which we enumerated in our last circular, yet shortly previous to and at the close of the month a change for the better became not only apparent, but in reality existed. Such was the improvement then, and such did it continue, accompanied with a comparatively active demand up to about the middle of the present month, since which period, the prevailing characteristic of the market has been that of gradually increasing de pression, if we except the momentary existence of a better feeling arising from the accounts from India by the last " Overland Mail," which induced many at the time to believe that they were decidedly favour able. So far they have only induced a little more inquiry. Stocks are rather heavier than they were at the end of August, and many descriptions of both cloth and twist, which are again becoming irregular in their value, are lower in price than they were at the same period. Many spinners and manufacturers are yet producing to order. It is only, therefore, as re gards those whose contracts have expired that any abatement in price has been conceded. With the completion of existing engagements, according to present appearances, and with the present extent of production, it is more than likely that the rates ruling previous to the last advance will be barely maintained generally, and that operations for a while will be limited to existing wants. The demand during the month has been again chiefly for export, that for the home trade having been to a much smaller extent than what it usually is at this season of the year. Though operative spinners and weavers are generally pretty well employed, there are many artisans, such as joiners, masons, bricklayers, &c., out Of employment. We would fain hops that the present dulness and inactivity. may prove# only temporary. There is, however, 'a considerable deal of uneasiness and dis trust arising from the present anomalous position of the money market. Confidence is not yet re-esta blished. It is, we fear, sadly too true that the means of many parties are drippled from their connexion with railway matters: Credits too are necessarily much curtailed. — Ttese, with the present unsettled political state of the continent of Europe, with con siderations attaching to the harvest, potato crop, &c., while they last, are sufficient to interrupt the progress towards permanent amendment.—McNair, Green hew, and Irving's Monthly Circular. ! NUMEROUS FIRES IN ONE NlGHT.—During the night of Saturday five fires occurred in the metropolis ; one was at No. 7, St. Swithin's-lane, City, belonging to Messrs. G. and H. Hussey, hair-dressers. It was dis covered by one of the inmates who was fortunately up at the time, or it is probable that the entire building would have been destroyed. The engines of the Lou don brigade from Watling -street quickly attended, but the firemen were unable to get the flames extinguished until considerable damage was done to the premises. The loss will rail on the Sun Fire-offiee. Another fire happened at 117, Royal Mint -street, Minories, belonging to Mr. R. Morris; considerable difficulty was experienced in getting the fire out, as it had penetrated into the shores of the walls. A third fire broke out in the extensive pre mises belonging to Mr. B. Young, glue-maker, Spa road, Bermondsey. It was caused by the upsetting of a lamp. The engines promptly attended, but the fire was extinguished by the workmen in the interim. A fourth fire took place at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, the property of Mr. William Burn, No. 12, Luke-street, Mile -end New Town. It was caused by the heat of the stove in the next house, which set the beam and flooring of the cellar on fire. By 'the timely exertions of the inmates and strangers the fire was confined to that por tion of the premises to which it commenced. The fifth fire happened at No. 8, William-street, Lisson-grove, but in this case the damage done was only trifling. COMMITTAL OF A QUACK DOCTOR POR MAN SLAUGHTER.—An old man, named Thomas Whitehead, who has for many years been imposing upon the igno rant and the credulous in Sheffield and the vicinity, by pretended skill in surgery, has been committed fbr man slaughter, in causing the death of a young man, named George Taylor, alias George Booth, aged 19, a razor grinder. At the inquest on the body it appeared that some months ago the deceased became afflicted with pain in his left arm, and gained admission on the books of the Sheffield Dispensary, as a patient. The visi•ing surgeon discovered a small tumour connected with the covering of the bone, and prescribed leeches and fomen tations. Nu danger was apprehended, but the case was expected to be chronic. Three weeks or a month after wards Taylor discontinued his attendance at the dispen sary, and put himself under the treatment of White head, who said it had been mistreated at the dispensary. He pulled off some loose skin that had been raised by poulticing, and ordered ointment to the wound, "to brine." ' it to a head." A w it ness th us d escr i bes what took place at one of the deceased's visits to the prisoner :—On the following Saturday I was present when Whitehead again dressed the wound. It appeared very bad. He got a pair of scissors and began cutting the flesh round the outside of the rim of the wound. He was cutting the bad flesh off. The deceased cried out much. His mother had gone out, having first asked me to go in, because she could not bear to stay. When Whitehead had cut round the ridge of the wound, a piece of the fleshy rim, as large as my fist, fell off upon the floor. It appeared putrifled. Whitehead then took his scissors, the point of which he put into the wound down to the.bone, and prized bits off. This conti nued about 10 minutes. When he had done that, he told him he must go into the infirmary directly and have his arm taken off, or else it would kill him very soon. On that day, the 19th of August, the sufferer was received into the Sheffield infirmary. Everything which could be done was done, but Taylor died on Friday, the 22d inst. After the Coroner-had summed up, the jury re, turned a verdict of " Manslaughter against Thomas Whitehead, and he was conveyed to York Castle, by virtue of the Coroner's warrant, to take his trial at the gaol delivery in December. APPREHENDED CATASTROPHE IN ST. JAMES'S CHURCHYARD, TOXTLTH PARK.—In the year 1839, a very serious and painful circumstance occurred in this grave yard by the falling of a portion of the wall on the north side, whereby a number of coffins and putrid re mains of the dead, were precipitated into the streets. But, at the present time, a calamity of a much more aggravated character is to be apprehended. The upper and larger portion of the grave yard is on a level of seven and a half feet above the lower part. The wall which bears up the mass of earth, the tombs, and graves of the higher gro u nd, h as f or man y years been gradually getting out of perpendicular, but within the last two years the declination has so much increased as to occa sion great alarm. The wall is now shored, and is eighteen inches out of perpendicular.' The first heavy and continuous fall of rain is expected to occasion the disaster. It is quite impossible it can stand the approach ing winter. When the wall does come down, which, without prompt measures, it inevitably will, the number of graves and vaults which will be dragged in its fall and exposed will be from fifty to sixty in all probability. T o attempt to describe the revolting exhibition which such a catastrophe will occasion, is quite horrifying, and the authorities of the church trust to the correct feelings of those interested in the prevention of such a calamity, to meet the exigency without such a portraiture. Each grave, it is well known, is private and freeh o ld property, over which the minister and wardens have no control. —Liverpool Mercury.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN. SlR,—Perceiving in your paper of yesterday an article on a work lately published by W. James, mes senger, General Post-office, I venture to hope you will give insertion to this. I should be sorry to detract from the merits of any work to which praise is due, but having carefully perused the work in question, I cannot agree with you in the strong marks of appro bation you have bestowed upon it. The author has certainly, considering the advantages he must have had, displayed anything but a practical knowledge of the subject he has undertaken, and I should much doubt from the ignorance of many of his suggestions (such as window cleaning, gas burning, &c., which, are not all applicable to the public) his being suffi ciently qualified for the situation he holds. Like many other visionaries, his grand idea of pos tal reform appears to be an attempt to effect a great reduction in the salaries of all employed in the de partment he belongs to. Would this be a reform? Assuredly not. All the public journals have, if I mis take not, from time to time, strongly advocated a more liberal allowance to the officers of the Post-office, on the ground, that persons to whose zeal and fidelity so much depends, in a-great commercial country like our own, and to whose care to much valuabl: property is daily entrusted, should be liberally remunerated, in order that no temptation, from the smallness of their pay, should induce them in an evil moment to break the trust- reposed in them. The very title of the book itself bears a doubtful character ; it professes to contain testimonials from the Postmaster-General and Rowland Hill, Esq. It is true there are two let ters contained in it, orie from his Lordship's secretary, the other from Mr. Hill ; the latter of whom refers James to the head of the department to which he be longs for a testimonial as to character, &c., and as no such document is appended to the book, the natural inference is, that James did not take Mr. Hill's advice. Altogether, I confess, I cannot see any suggestion at all calculated to benefit . any portion of the commu pity, but rather the contrary ; the author's sole ob ject (like many others) being, in my opinion, a desire to aggrandize himself at the expense of that public, he wishes it t o b e b e li eved, his sole object is to serve. Your insertion of this will oblige, Your obedient servant, A SUBSCRIBER. Camberwell, Sept. 29. THE CHOLERA. TO THE EDP! OR OF THE SUN. SIR,—As the cholera has again made its appear ance in Europe, and report says it has just appeared at Hull, perhaps the following statement may be in teresting, if not beneficial, to many of your readers and the public who may not be influenced (as is too often the case, both in reference to the arts and in medicine), to believe that for a thing to be good or meritorious it must needs be complicated, expensive, or uncommon. When the cholera was some years ago in the north, I happened to be in Scotland, where it was raging with considerable violence. I became acquainted with a medical gentleman at Edinburgh, of considerable practice, named Thompson. On i one occasion, con versing on the subject, he addressed me to this effect : —" If you at any time feel seriously affected in your bowels, from whatever cause, let me advise you to go to the nearest chemist's shop, and take a full dose of castor oil, and if it does not operate in an hour or two, repeat the dose; do not be alarmed, it will at all events not hurt you. Abstain from taking any food or liquids that are of an irritating or inflammatory nature, and I will guarantee your life•against the fatal effects of the cholera"—adding, "that. out of a great number of patients that I have had under my care I have not lost one, where the parties have applied to me in time; hence I make it my invariable mode of treatment-- observing further, that if the disease is allowed to produce a collapse of the bowels, neither oil nor any other medicine will have much chance of arresting its fatal progress." I will only add, that 1 have followed his advice I think advantageously, and what is perhaps important, it has relieved my mind from any fearful apprehensions. I remain, respectfully yours, THOMAS MOTLEY, Bristol. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, SEPT 30. NEW COLLEGE.-A' fellowship and also a living belonging to this college are now vacant, the former by the death of Octavius Walford Holloway, who died yesterday at his father's house, Chadlington ; and the latter by the demise of the Rev. A. Price, vicar of Chesterton, Oxon, which a l so took place yesterday. The fellowship must, according to the statutes, be filled up in eight day s after it becomes vacant. CONSECRATIO N OF THE CHANCEL OF LITTLEMORE CHURCH —The consecration of this chancel and tower, which has been erected through the munificence of Charles Crawley, Esq., a resident of Littlemore, as sisted by a few of his private friends, took place yes terday ; the ceremony of consecration was performed by the Lord Bishop of the diocese, attended by the Archdeacon, Registrar, and other officials, as well as by a large portion of the neighbouring pirochial clergy. The sacred edifice, which is capable of con taining six hundred persons, was filled in every part. At the conclusion of the ceremony (which included the administration of the Holy Sacrament) the Bishop and the clergy were entertained by Mr. Crawley, who, like a " fine old English Gentleman," while en tertaining the great, did not forget the small, butt x tended his hospitality to the children of the parish school, as well as to the families of the resident poor. MADEIRA.—SOUTHAMPTON, SUNDAY, OCT. I. The packet brig Brilliant, Captain Newton, arrived here this morning with mails of the 14th from the Island of Madeira. Although this vessel has experienced adverse winds and calms, she has made the voyage in fifteen days from Madeira. The Falmouth packet of the 4th of September had not arrived out when the Brilliant left. There were no English vessels of war at Madeira. Tlie American corvettes, Jamestown and Acadia, and Arne. rican brig of war Porpoise, were in Funchal roads. Ma deira was perfectly tranquil, and there was no news of political or commercial. interest. On Friday morning, the 28th ult., at eleven o'clock A.M., Captain Newton re• ports having fallen in with a squadron of her Majesty's ships about sixty miles south of the Lizards The squa dron consisted of three line-of-battle ships, two frigates, and a steamer. The St. Vincent, 120, with flag of Rear-Admiral Sir C. Napier, was a head of the fleet, and hailed the Brilliant. The latter vessel considerably outsailed all her Majesty's ships, for at six o'clock P . M . they were six miles ast ern . The Flact would to reach. Hymoutlyto-dayS Tbellrilflant sails for Ma deira on Wednesday, the 3d instant. (From the Hull Adv s) - Considerable alarm has exi., .Hull duri, 'k, fqam the report which slimed on Monday,: ti lad at last arrived in England, and Ues ad occurred in Hu 1. For two g r three days in the earlier part of the week much uti - certainty generally existed, both as to the"nrimber aof deaths and the circumstances in connexien with the m t. It was rumoured that the &ceased had been poisor. Led, and the statements prevalent in support of this rums lit?‘ were plausible enough. In order to dispel-all doubts the.matter, we give the following circunistau flak r ee it a ,c . on the accuracy of which the fullest reliaiiice may be ple,„7ed : The Prussian barque Pallas arrived in Hull in the month of April lasi, with a cargo of timlAr from Dantzic, and was prevented from returning in conse quence of ,the Danish blockade. Her commander, Capt. Moller, for the sake of economy, discharged his crew, who returned home. When the armistice was recently declared, he engaged a fresh one at Barth,.iin Pomerania, and on the 20th arrived in Hambure , h, and took them on board the steamer Victoria, which oat the following morning sailed for this port, though it is to be feared that the men in the interim were ore shore. It seems pretty clear that during the passage to Hull, notwithstanding the precautions of- the cap tain, they indulged freely in eating fruit, especially plums, of which the Victoria brought a considerable quantity. On arriving in Hull,' ,tp Friday, the captain left the men (ten in nualberYon bo!rd the steamer, until he had made every erten geiFet for their comfortable reception on board the:Tapas, Which vessel, for the space of a month, had beet left under the charge of the carpenter, who appears to have had the hatches off daily, and to have--dons everything to promote cleanliness and tijoicough ventilation. On the following morning (Saturday), about nine o'clock, the captain was informed . thitt one of the seamen, named Carl Peter, "was VeryTick:' The captain went to him and found he had been enuth purged, and had vomited largely ; had considerablesain in his back and loins, and violent spasnak. He imme diately ordered some strong camomile tea to be given him, and went to Mr. Lambert, the druggist, in;Carr laee, who administered such medicines as•he.thetight the ewe demanded, but the Poli-'marapifeci A` littlek=- after midnight. About eight o'clock On Sunday monitik a second roan was taken ill, with similar symptoms. Mr. Lambert was immediately consulted, and the same course taken as in the last case. At one o'clock Captain Moller called upon Mr. Bright, the Prussian Consul, who immediat e ly reques t e d Dr. Cooper to see the man who had been attacked, which he promptly did, and under Dr. Cooper's treatment the mail was restored. At about one o'clock A.m. on Sunday, a third roan, Carl Rose, the cook, was seized. Dr. Cooper wa s immediately seen, and prescribed for him, but in this case the symptoms were worse, and the attack far more virulent than in either of the previous cases, and the man died at nine o'clock—eight hours after being seized ! About the time he died, the mate, William Fischer, was attacked ; betweep ten and eleven o'clock was evidently beyond hope of recovery ; and at four o'clock in the afternoon died. Two other men were also taken ill, and under the direction of Captain Moller and Mr. Bright were removed front the vessel to lodgings on shore, and have since recovered. The rest of the crew at the present time are quite well. These are the only cases of cholera which have occurred in Hull. There have been no other attacks in the town. Too much praise cannot be accorded to Captain Moller, for the promptness and skill which he has exhibited throughout the trying circumstances in which he has been placed. Not only did he apply the proper remedy immediately on his knowledge of the men being attacked, but, in every case, lost no time in calling medical aid. The whole crew, with the exception of himself, were more or less indisposed, and had a dread of approaching their shipmates who were fatally attacked, but he waited as a nurse upon all, being unabl e t o procure ass i stance. After thew. men were removed to lodgings on shore he fumigated the cabin, roundhouse, and hold, with brimstone, and subsequently washed them with chloride of lime, be sides immersing the clothes of all who had the disease in the dock. To such a man not only the town but the nation is greatly indebted. The cases of cholera having been reported to Lon don, an official order was addressed to the Custom house authorities at this port, to place the Pallas in quarantine, all communication between her and the shore being cut off for six days after thel ast death, excepting to medical men under certain re staictions. This has called forth some animadversions. from a correspondent, which will be found in a letter below. However unpretending the signature, the writer is a gentleman of high standing in the town. On Wednesday the Town-Clerk received a letter from Mr. Edwin Chadwick:, requesting him to give every facility to Dr. Sutherland, who had been sent from London to inquire into the facts of the cases of cholera which have occurred. -- Information was con , veyed to the magistrates and to the Sanitary CORl inittee of the Town-Council, and yesterday C-aptlln I Moller, Mr. Bright, the Prussian Consul, the Mayor, several of the magistrates, members of the Sani tary Committee, and medical men were ex an fined by Dr. Sutherland, for the purpose of eliciting, as far as possible, every fact con nected with these cases, so as to be enabled to draw any general deductions therefrom, and also to general in qu i r i es respecting the sanitary mak stateort e he town, and the nature of the interco.upse between this port and Harnburgh, so that, if the disease should break :out in Hull, the Board of Health, in London, may be prepared to advise the course to be taken, and to pronounce on the expediency of imme diately establishing a Board of Health in this locality. In conclusion, it may be well to state that the rumour spread yesterday that the captain of the brig Cato, which arrived in the morning from St. Peters burgh, was laid dead on board, of the cholera, was entirely groundless. A counter-rumour was also prevalent that he died in a state of delirium tremens, arising from excessive drinking. This is n o t l ess fhl se . Captain Har e , w h o has bog been a total abstainer, was well when the vessel left Petersburgh, about a fortnight ago. He became ill the day after leaving Cronsradt, and was attacked with spasms at the chest, of which he died ten days since. Not a drop of any kind of beer or liquor was on board. We simply mention this that our readers may be on their guard against attaching credence to all the reports which, at such s-asons, are often wickedly originated and cre dulously believed." SINGULAR AND FATAL ACCIDENT..--.0/1 Thursday morning last, at about two o'clock, Parson Cocker, a labourer on the East Lancashire Railway, found the body of a man lying on the rails, near the Canal-bridge, in Rishton. On examination, the body was discovered t.► be that of Lawrence Lee, a stoker of the line. The deceased had been with the train which left Preston at 9.5 in the evening. John Wild, the engineer, had spoken to him at a short distance of the place where the body was found, but had not missed him till the train got to Accrington station, when he went back four or five hun dred yards to look for him. The deceased is supposed to have fallen off accidentally, or to have been struck by the partition of the bridge while leaning over the tender, as was his occasional practice. Au inquest was held, on the body on the same day, i❑ the Commeroial Inn; Church, and a verdict of Accidental Death returned.— Manchester Guardian. HOME SUMMARY.—Other " houses" being closed, the drama has taken refuge in the Old Bailey. " The Blushing Court," an original comedy, has been brought out with great success. The principal characters were the Attorney-General and Mr. Kenealy, who blushed for each other, and Mr. Justice Erie, who blushed for theta both, "The Visionary President," a broad fame, followed. Principal characters•—" Lying Tom," Cuffey, Lacy, and Fay; allegorical characters:—" Luminaries," " Hellfire Jack," " Young Bombshell," and "'!both. picks." The piece went off rather heavily, and will not be repeated. The company, it is expected, will have an engagement at Sydney. The accounts of the above theatricals have been atrdited at Marylebone. The county of Middlesex is to subscribe 36,0004 and the Consolidated Fund 12,0001. to make up the defieit. Popular entertainments are expensive. —John Bull. FALLING OP THE ROTHE& VIADUCT.--A dreadful casualty, attended with loss of life, occurred at the Bother Viaduct, near the junction of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway with the AlidlanZl, at Heighten, on Saturday morning. The viaduct was about a quarter of a mile in length, and was to consist of 36 arches, built on soft clayey grounds. Upwards of 20 of the arches were completed, and the rest were in pro gress ; the late heavy rains had, however, interfered with the work. The river bad overflowed, and the water bad found its way into the foundations of the piers. The piers had sunk 14i inches since the commencement of the building, but measures were taken to support them, which were unfortunately unsuccessful. The 20 arches fell in, killing two men on the spot, and so se verely wounding another that he died shortly after. Two other men were also severely injured. The piers yet stand, but the brickwork of the fallen arches having up the channel of the river Bother, the country around is flooded to such an extent that the place is al. most inaccessible.

ANECDOTE OF A CORNISH LORSTER.—Dr. Borlase relates the following marvellous anecdote of instinct dis. played by a Cornish lobster:—" As he was fishing one day, a fisherman observed a lobster to attempt an oyster several times, but as soon as the lobster approached, the oyster shut his shell. At length the lobster, having waited with great attention till the oyster opened again, - made shift to throw a stone between the gaping shells, sprung upon its prey and devoured it, F d q A•
