Having received much additional information as to the progress of cholera towards Europe, and as to the means of its prevention, we find— That the disease, as it has recently appeared in Persia, in Trebizonde, and in Rnssia, is unchanged in its general character ; and that it is at the present time, according to the latest informrtion, in a similar position to that in which it was in 1831, when its progress was arrested by , the frost, previously to its advance upon Europe immedi ately after the thaw took place. That the more recent experience in Russia has led to the general abandonment of the theory of its propaga tion by contagion; a conclusion in which, after a full consideration of tho evidence presented to us, we fully concur. That the views which we adopted in relation to the inexpediency of special cholera hospitals, except in cases of peculiar necessity, have been confirmed by the coincident adoption of the same conclusions in Russia. That we have received much information, tending to establish the conclusion, that cholera is not the sudden disease which has hitherto been supposed ; that the commonly known form of the malady is, in reality, its second stage ; and that its first stage is manifested by the premonitory symptom of diarrhoea, which is com monly unattended to, but which, if met by the strict observance of proper regimen, and by appropriate me dicine, may be arrested before passing into the more violent and fatal stage of the disease. That, in addition to our former recommendations, we further recommend, that preparation be made for what appears to us to be one of the most important measures of alleviation, the establishment of local dispensaries, where persons affected with the first stage of the disease, as manifested by the premonitory symptoms, may be immediately placed under the proper treatment for ar resting the further progress of the malady. Having examined, as closely as the time and means at our disposal would permit, the late extraordinary increase of mortality in the metropolis, amounting in eleven weeks to 6,145 deaths above the usual average, an excess of mortality during those eleven weeks greater than the entire mortality from the cholera in the metropolis during the twenty-one weeks when it pre ruiled in the year 1832, we find— That of this excess of 6,145 deaths 1,522 deaths were registered as deaths from epidemic influenza, but that the deaths from epidemic typhus and from pneumonia, bronchitis, and the whole class of diseases of the lungs, commonly brought on at all times by cold, damp, and atmospheric impurity, have also been very numerous; the number of deaths from typhus having been during the eleven weeks 999, and the number above the average from diseases in the lungs (apart from influenza) 2,655. That sickness and mortality from diarrhoea and from typhus of precisely the same type as that which preceded the former vistation of cholera have been excessive amongst the population of the low, ill-drained, ill. cleansed, and over-crowded neighbourhoods that aro marked as the cholera tracts of 1832. REPEAL OF THE WINDOW-TAX. Last night, a meeting of the inhabitants of St. Mary, Islington, was held in the Fox Tavern, Islington-green, for the purpose of petitioning Parliament to repeal the window duty. The room was densely crowded by respectable and influential inhabitants of the parish. 1). W. WIRE, Esq., the chairman, opened the pro ceedings by stating the object of the meeting. They could not have been called together to consider a more unjust species of taxation.—(Cheers.) There was no doubt that all taxation was in itself an evil ; but as society was constituted, it was one which had to bo sub mitted to, in order that we might obtain the protection and security of a settled Government. But there was a just and an unjust system of taxation.—(hear, hear.) A just system of taxation apportioned the burdens fairly to all classes of the community, and raised no more than what was absolutely required for the services of the State. Every farthing required beyond that was an in justice.—(Hear.) There was the other side of the ques tion, in which the taxes were unduly apportioned, and in which more was raised than was absolutely requisite; and, unfortunately, the older that the Governments grew, the more they adopted this unjust system of taxa tion, and the more necessary it became for the people to review from time to time the national burdens, is order to see whether a reduction in these burdens could not be effected.—(Hear, hear.) Of all the taxes that could possibly be imposed, that was surely the worst which went directly to deprive the poor of air and light, two of the primary requisites to healthy existence. Yet he saw, by the report of the interview of a deputation which had recently waited upon the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the subject, that he told them the revenue could not afford it, and asked them what they would propose as a substitute? The deputation, he regretted to say, did not answer that question—and indeed, it was none of their duty to do so, or take upon themselves the office of the Chancellor of the Exchequer.—(Hear.) But if they had chosen to answer the question, he thought that there were many substitutes which might easily have been named. Their Hon. Representative (Mr.Wakley), who was present, and who, indeed, was always at his post—(Cheers)—would tell them better than he could, what were the evils resulting from the window-tax. He could tell them professionally, that the exclusion of air was not only the source of uncleanliness, but of disease in the dwellings of the poor.—(hoar, hear.) Darkness and dirt generally went together, and in the wake of these two generally followed worse evils.— (Hear, hear.) For so injurious an impost as this surely they might have found a substitute in the revenues de rived from the land and property of the country, which at the present time possessed almost an immunity from taxation.—(Cheers.) But he did not see why they should talk of substituting at all.—(Hear, hear.) lie thought that it would be more just, and was certainly 'more necessary, to see whether they could not effect a reduction by a revision of our whole system of taxation. —(Cheers.) If such an inquiry was entered into, he was sure that many of the items upon which the money wrung from the. struggling, industrious classes was expended, would be found to be of a character not only most unnecessary, but most wasteful and mis chievous.—(Hear, hear.) Why, take for instance one item in the recent budget. We were called upon to pay 1,100,0001., not for the protection of the people— not for the advancement of commerce—not for the promotion of public health, the spread of education, or the diffusion of morality, but for a miserable war with a horde of savages in a distant colony, the whole of the houses . and property in which was not worth as much, as purchase-money, of this Kafir war had coat us. He said, therefore, that it was the duty of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to revise the whole system of our taxation, with the view of imposing the public burdens more equally, of pruning all unnecessary expenditure, and of taking off such taxes as the window duty, which had been indisputably proved to be detrimental in the highest degree to the health, the comforts, and the morals of the poor.—(Cheers.) If such an inquiry was honestly and fairly entered upon, he had no doubt that a clever Chan cellor of the Exchequer, instead of coming down to the House of Commons to propose additions, would be ena bled to propose changes which would save four or five millions a year after he had fairly tried the experiment. —(Cheers.) He would not longer trespass upon the attention of the meeting, but call upon it to give an im partial hearing to the speakers who might address it, and concluded by stating his entire and cordial concur rence in its object.—(Cheers.) Mr. Jusnes, in moving the first resolution, expressed his pleasure at seeing their excellent Member (Mr. Wakley) in his place; and he would at the same time say, he only regretted that their Hon. Chairman was not in the House of Commons, assisting him.—(Hear). The motion he had to submit was the following: —" That of all species of taxation, that which affects the health, re tards the cleanliness, and, consequently, tends to de moralise the people, is the most objectionable to the c9infort, the cleanliness, and the health of the people." The deputation alluded to by the chairman, when asked for a substitute, might have asked the Chancellor why real property was exempted from burdens which fell upon other kinds of property ?—(Hear, hear.) The tax upon light and air was not only a violation of the prin ciples of social morality, but of the first principles of taxation themselves. When he and others were com pelled to block up their windows, in order to escape the tax-gatherer, it was not because he did not want light and air, but because necessity compelled him and them to do so, and thus convert into an unhealthy dwelling that which might have been otherwise.—(Hear.) They had of late years done much towards sanitary reform; but until they let in a plentiful supply of light, all their efforts would be comparatively abortive.—(Hear, hear.) As for the means by which the deficiency might be made up, there could be but little difficulty in finding one so long as the land and the real property of the country were so lightly taxed.—(Cheers.) Mr. VOUSLEY seconded the resolution. The resolution was then carried unanimously. Mr. G. SEIEW moved, and Mr. BOYKETT seconded the next resolution :—"That the window duty, which shuts out the air and the light of heaven, which renders the homes of the poor dark, unwholsome, and damp, is as impolitic as it is unjust, inasmuch as it is opposed to all sanitary regulations, and to the cosnfort, the cleanliness, and the health of the people." Upon being put to the meeting, it was unanimously adopted. Mr. KEASLEY moved the third resolution :—" That a petition, founded on the foregoing resolutions, be pre pared, signed, and presented to the House of Commons by Thomas Wakley, Esq., M.P. for the borough, and that he be respectfully requested to support its prayer." To this resolution Mr. Maims moved an amendment, which was subsequently adopted as a substantive reso lution, and the motion proposed by Mr. Beasley was carried with two dissentients. RAILWAY SHARE TRANSACTIONS. Mr. John Field, jun., of the firm of Field, Son, and Bayley, of 9, Warnford-court, Throgmorton-street, stock-brokers, appeared before the Court, in answer to the petition of Mr. Horatio Folliott Nelson, charging him with having acted in violation of the rules laid down by the Court for the observance of brokers for the pre vention of fraud. Much interest was excited by the ease, as it related to railway matters. Mr. Edward James attended for the plaintiff, and Mr. Clarkson for the defendant. The petition, which was presented by Alderman Cope land, stated at considerable length, that of which the following is a summary: —The petitioner in 1843, and up to May, 1847, employed the firm of Field, Son, and Bayley, as his brokers, in the purchase and sale of shares and stock, and during that period there was an account current between them, which never had been closed or settled. In June, 1845, having reason to believe that the Wexford, Waterford, and Valentia Railway Company, then about being formed, would soon after the allotment be at a high premium, communicated with the defendant, one of the partners of the firm, and agreed to give him the name of the com pany, and other information, provided he would pur chase with his own money, on their joint account, a con siderable number of shares, profit or loss to be equally divided between them. The defendant accordingly purchased in June, 1845, letters of allotment or scrip for 670 shares in the company, 500 being purchased at 2s. premium upon, and in addition to the deposit of 1/. 7s, 6d. per share; 50 more at 2s. 6cl. premium, and the remaining 120 at ss. premium. Subsequently to that agreement, the petitioner had 100 shares in the said railway company allotted to him, in which the defendant claimed to be equally interested, on pay ment by him of the deposit of 1/. 7s. 6d. per share, which deposit, amounting to 1371. 10s., was ac cordingly paid. About the 4th of September, 1845, when a rise began to take place in the value of the shares, the petitioner received from the defendant, but in the name of the firm, a sale-note of the 670 shares, purporting that a sale of them had been effected at a premium of ss. per share, the settlement for which was to take place on the 16th of the same month ; and in that sale-note was unduly included a charge for commission amounting to 411. 17s. 61, which the petitioner never agreed or understood he was to pay. The petitioner never received from the defendant any intimation of intention to sell the shares at that time, and never having authorised or consented to sale, complained to the defendant of the great want of judg • ment in so selling them, believing at the time that they were actually sold. Ou the Bth and 10th of the same month the shares were selling at 10s. premium, and the defendant in those days purchased, on account of the petitioner, 120 shares in the company, at that price ; and on the 26th of the same month they were selling at 1/. premium ; and early in October were selling at 2/. 10s. premium. In or about the same month the petitioner received from the defend ant, but in the name of the firm, a cash account re lating to his dealings with the shares, together with a charge for interest on the money advanced by the defend ant for the purchase of 670 shares, and the payment of the deposit on the 100 shares allotted to the petitioner, at the rate of 101. per cent., which he never agreed or understood he was to pay; and by such account it appeared that a heavy loss had accrued to both by the purchase of the shares. About June, 1847, the petitioner, on the examination of the second ac • counts existing between him and the defendant and the firm, having strong reasons for believing that the 670 shares were not sold at the time, and in the manner specified in the sale-note, requested the de fendant to furnish him with the name of the purchaser, and the date of the sale, and for a long time repeatedly , endeavoured to obtain such information, but the de fendant refused and still continued to refuse to afford him any information of the kind. The defendant admitted to the petitioner and a friend of his that the shares were not sold at the time and in the manner stated in the sale-note, but were subsequently sold at a large premium, and offered the petitioner a proportion of the sum, as alleged by him, they actually realised, but refused to give him the particulars of the case and the name of the purchaser. By the accounts as sent in to the petitioner from the firm, there appeared to be a largo balance due from the petitioner, . against which the firm held numerous shares, or certificates for shares, belonging to the petitioner, and they were unable to agree and settle them. The petitioner con cludes with praying that Mr. Field might be required to produce his broker's book, and to deliver an account of full particulars of identity, and of the names and addresses of the sellers and purchasers, and the dates, prices of the 670 shares, and also of the 100 shares allotted to the petitioner, and also that the firm might be required to produce their broker's book, and to deliver full particulars of all Falls of stock, scrip, and shares effected by them during the before-mentioned period, on account of the petitioner. and of all shares, Sc., now in their possession or power belonging to him, or that the court would grant him such other relief as should seem meet. " Resolved— " That it appears by the official documents laid before this Court that, in the year 1836, a secret inquiry was instituted, by order of the Government of Bombay, into an alleged breach of the treaty of the 25th September, 1819, subsisting between the East India Com pany and his Highness Pertauti Sheen, the Raja of Sattara. " That on the 26th of October, 1836, the Raja appeared before the Secret Commission, consisting of Colonel Lodwick, Mr. Willoughby, and Colonel Ovens, and requested a Mahratta copy of so much of the ' depositions of the two Soobandars and the Bralunin as affected him self, which was not at the tithe objected to.' " ' That on the 27th October the Commission were occupied the greater part of this day in preparing Mahratta translations of the evidence regarding the interview at the Palace, for the ultimate use Of his Highness the Raja of Sattara.' (Par. Pa. No. 569 of 1843, p. 348.) " That Sir Robert Grant, Governor of Bombay, recorded in Ilinute of Council, on the 15th of August, 1837, (Par. Pa. p. $6, para. 15) 1 hat he was strongly of opinion that, before the case is conclusively disposed of, the Raja should be made acquainted with the fresh evidence that has been elicited against biol, and should be allowed the opportunity of offering defence or explanation.' And again, in his Minute of Council of the 20th of September, 1837, (Par. Pa. p.lOO, para. 130 suggests, That Colonel Ovens should be instructed to prepare a complete statement of the case which has been established against the Raja, in order that when his inquiries are concluded, it may be furnished to his Highness for any such explanation, or answer, as he may choose to offer.' " That Mr. IVathen, Chief Secretary to - the Government of Bombay, iill6s letter to Colonel Ovens, dated the 27th of September, 1837, 'directed Colonel Ovens to prepare a complete statement of the case established against the Raja, that it may be furnished to the Raja, and that if this statement be denied, his Highness should be con fronted with the witnesses, the most effective measures being adopted for their protection.' (Par. Pa., p. 422, para. 48.) "That Sir Robert Grant, again, in a Minute of Council, dated the 31st of May, 1838, says, The Raja has not been told of the evidence taken by Colonel Ovens, and undoubtedly has a right to be heard Its his vindication.' -` I repeat) this opinion (which he) expressed iu a Minute of Council, in August, 1837, not meaning that there should be merely the form or farce of a trial, to be closed by a ready-made judgment, but that the defence should be fairly heard and impar tially weighed.' (Par. Pa., p. 205, para. 53.) " That Lord Auckland, the Governer-General of India, in a Minute, dated 23d of September, 1838, ordered in the following Words would, as suggested by Sir Ititert Grant, request that the Raja should be furnished with a written statement, embodying a full and clear detail of the facts connected with the several charges, and of the names (with any reservations which may be absolutely required for the Safety of the party) of the witnesses by whom they nee-prthgekevitlre-notioe of the circumstances under which the evi dence wee obtained, and call for from him, within a certain reason able time to be fixed, a similar written statement of whatever he may desire to urge in his own behalf.' (Par. Pa., p. 229, para. 12.) " That notwithstanding the preparations of the evidence promised by the Commission (which closed its proceedings on the 4th November, 1836 ), and the repeated desire expressed by the Governor of Bombay, and-the Governor-General of India, that a statement of the whole of the evidence taken against the Raja should be piaced,in his Highness's hand, such statement was withheld, for reasons secretly stated by Colonel Ovens, Colonel Ovens personally informing his Highness, That the proceedings of the Commission being strictly secret, it did not consider itself authorised to grant a copy or any part of thoso proceedings to any person whatsoever.' (t'ar. Pa., p. 367.) That thedethronement of the late Raja of Sattara,when ',no sud den creergency, nor imminent danger, nor any preparations made by him for' commencing' hostilities,' threatened, without obtaining the previous and express sanction of the Home authorities for the act, was a violation of the 33d George Third, cap. 52, sec. 42 and 43 , made and prov ided to guard against and prohibit the exercise of such dangerous and despotic power by any subordinate authority in India, viz. : • ",Section 43—'.It shall not be lawful for the Governor-General in Council, without the express command or authority of the Court of Directors, or of the Secret Committee, by the authority of the, Board of Control, in any case (except where hostilities have actually been commenced, or preparations actually made for the commencement of hostilities against the British nation in India), either to declare war,:or commence hostilities, or enter into any treaty for making war, &c.' " 1 Resolved,—That this Court, taking all these circumstances into Consideration, is of opinion that the dethronement of the Raja of Sattara, by Sir James Carnac, without furnishing him with a copy of the evidence taken in secret against him, and thereby withholding from him the means of making a defence, and without the previous consent and authority of the Court of Directors, or the Secret Com• mittee of that Court, and of the Board of Control, was unjust, pre mature, and contrary to law ; and, therefore, the guilt or innocence of the late Raja of Sattara, and the conduct of the Bombay Govern ment, in these transactions, ought to be made the subject of a public and impartial inquiry, alike for the protection of the Princes of India In alliance with the East India Company, from the perpetration of sinallar wrongs, for the satisfaction of the ends of justice, and for the vindication of the honour of the British nation, and the security Of the British Empire in the East."

That the climatorial changes observed, as antecedents to this recent excess of mortality in the metropolis, have been an excess of humidity in the air, and rapid and extreme changes of temperature; tied that such exces sive humidity has been the chief observed antecedent to former visitations of influenza. That the inmates of a model lodging-house, and the prisoners in the chief prisons in the metropolis, where the drainage, cleansing, dryness, ventilation, and warmth, are better than ordinary, have been distin guished by proportionate immunity from typhus, in fluenza, and other epidemic diseases affording an exem plication of the freedom from such disease, which would probably follow the extension of similar sanitary ar rangements. That in the lower, the ill-drained, and the worst cleansed districts, in the close streets, courts, and alleys, chiefly occupied by the poorer population, typhus, and other epidemics are now prevalent, with an increasing frequency and intensity, constituting, in our opinion, the state of evil contemplated by the Contagious Disease Preventive Act, which authorises the appointment of local boards of health, with powers for cleansing and the adoption of other preventive measures. That :seeing the advantages derived from the visits and exertions of such boards in 1832 and the probable length of time which must elapse before new and com bined works of drainage, cleansing, and water supply could be executed, we recommend that beards of health should be immediately constituted with a view to carr y out, more especially in the districts where the visita tions of epidemics have, of late, been most severe, such measures as may be practicable, as well for checking the progress of typhus and other prevalent maladies as for making preparation against the probable invasion of Asiatic cholera. • EAST INDIA HOUSE, FEB. 23, 1848.

JAMES C. 3IELYILL, Secretary. Having observed the excessive mortality in the northern districts and certain of the suburbs, as com pared with the central portions of the metropolis, we directed our attention to their sanitary condition, and we find— WHEREAS by a DECREE of the HIGH COURT of CHANCERY, made in two causes of :C,OLLyER v. ASHBURNER," earl "COLLIER v. ASH '''I,RNER," it is referred to Sir GIFFIN Witsos, one of the Masters of the Court, to inquire who are the persons designated in the Will of Robert Pounds, late of 15, High-street, Camden town, in the co unty of Middlesex, Esq., (who died on the 24 th April , 1846 ) , as "James Pounds, Robert Walker Pounds, and John Pounds, sons of ara es Pounds, formerly of Philadelphia, in North America ;" and hether they arc respectively living or dead, and if living where they rfsPectively reside, and if dead who are their legal , personal re presentatives. Tkeretbre the persons so designated , if li ving , or if !iead their legal, personal representatives, are forthwith to come in before the said Master at his chambers, in tielltilaMptoll - buildings, is ' l, e county of Middlesex, and e.stablisk their claims to be the persons A bove described as the sons of the said James Pounds , in order that they:r may not be excluded the benefit of the said decree. The said 'Tames Pounds, the father, resided at No. C, Parker-street, Philadel- Dhia, in the State of Pennsylvania, North America, and died on the alst ~, May, 1842, leaving his sons, the said James ltobert Pounds, a Vacksmith (in the will called James Pounds), the said Robert Walker F ounds, and John Pounds, a printer, him surviving. James Robert Pounds and John Pounds are , it is b e lieved, residin g in Philadelphia. Robert Walker Pounds in the year 1842 was serv ing an apprenticeship to a tin-plate worker, in Philadelphia, and left that place in the early part of the year 1844. In the month of January, 1845, he was in the employment of Mr Illaise Rossetti, of 29 , Drury-lane, London, coachmaker, and was afterwards employed In the capacity of porter at a store or warehouse in Liverpool, where he was living in the month of June, 1845. In the month of August In the same year he went on hoard the " DANIEL WEBSTER " (supposed to have been bound for Philadelphia), and nothing has since been heard of him. Dated this 231 day of February, 1848. That large tracts of suburban land, namely, the Poplar Marsh, the I,le of Dogs, the Essex marshes, and the Greenwich and Plumstead marshes are in e7ccedingly bad condition; and that much of the upland s i n the 01 1,,, r suburbs consist of stiff, undrained clay land, exten sively charged with moisture. That theca. marsh and undrained lands are exces sively intersected with open, ill. kept, and stagnant ditches. That, these being no systematic land drainage, and no proper pre-appointed system for the drainage of hind intended to be used for the sites of houses, or of new suburban dwellings, when new dwellings are constructed a greAt part of the drainage from the suburban houses is carried into these open stagnant ditches. Mr. CLARKSON objected in limine to the Court's juris diction, inasmuch as Mr. Field was, and had acted as a partner with Mr. Nelson in these railway speculations, and not as a broker, and he contended that the produc tion of the books and the investigation applied for would be likely to prejudice the case before the only tribunal to which it could properly be referred. Ile thought it would be infinitely more beneficial to refer the matter to arbitration, and he considered the City Solicitor, to whose inspection every book and every document should be submitted, as one of the best qualified persons to decide upon its merits. He was prepared to go at length into all the transactions in which the two gentlemen had been concerned, but he thought that a great deal of trouble and unnecessary exposure would be avoided by the course he suggested. Mr. JAMES declined any course but the direct interfe rence of the Court in an affair wholly within their juris diction and authority. The object of the defendant in seeking to be considered a partner, was to get rid of the serious liabilities which he had incurred by the myste rious sale of shares, in the disposal of which he had evidently acted without due sanction, and in refusing to give regular accounts of which, he had violated the rules laid down by the Court for the prevention of frauds. The Learned Counsel confined his charge to the mere trans action of the 4th of September, 1645, and only wanted the name of the party to whom the shares had been sold. Mr. Nelson had oddly enough charged commission upon the sales of the shares, and then appeared, when required to give the name of his principol, not in the character of a broker, but in that of a partner and a principal. Mr. CLARKSON said the fact was that Mr. Field had been engaged in the transaction about these shares of himself, without any participation as to the firm with which he was connected ; that Mr. Nelson, who had been concerned in boundless speculations of the kind, became so involved in liabilities for the pur chase of them, that the firm whom Mr. Field actually employed in the transaction, had been obliged to sell the scrip for what they could get upon the approach of the panic, and that the petitioner took the opportu nity of appealing to the Court of Aldermen, on the ground of an alleged violation of their rules, in order to counteract the effect of an application against himself elsewhere. That in one of these marshes the proportion of open ditch is 181 to 450 acres, or one acre of ditch to 24 acres of land ; stagnating and giving oil' r maLations from the decomposition of animal as well as vegetable refuse ; and that in the Surrey district of sewers alone there are f ieo a l s - er b u e d in d g itc s h u e g s na a n n t d , oapsernecyketivtienrg cnoeuarrsl3e.s,7ocommpilleasinoedf u o i house-drainage, and as giving off much offensive mois ture. That marsh diseases prevail at times amongst the agricultural population of the Essex, Plumstead, and other marshes, and that, after the wind has prevailed for some time from these ill-drained lands in the direction of dwelling-houses, marsh diseases aro constantly noticed among the adjacent population. That there is no doubt that the mists and humidity arising from the suburban ill drained land is carried amidst the habitations of the adjoining districts, and exercises, at all seasons, a pernicious influence on the health of the population. That there are perceptible differences in the amount of epidemic disease in the agricultural suburban dis tricts, according as they are well or ill-drained; and that where drainage works are properly carried out the amount of humidity and mist is speedily diminished. That the excess of moisture on the marsh and ill drained land is detrimental to the productive power and value of the land and to good husbandry. That the operations for improving the land by drainage are obstructed by the exceedingly imperfect drainage arrangements; only some of those arrangements being, while all of them ought to be, within the general drain age jurisdiction of the Commissioners of Sewers. That powers should bo given to the Commissioners of Sowers enabling them to cover in all open ditches, to drain roads, and to substitute for ditches tubular drains, in connexion with the general drainage levels. That, if such drains are properly laid down, and con nected with the general drainage works, the quantity of stagnant surface water will be diminished to a very im portant extent; the roads will be kept drier, in conse quence of the greater depth of their drainage and the more rapid discharge of surface water; the lands adja cent to the roads will be greatly relieved of surplus moisture; and valuable outfalls will be formed for the land drainage, which is now much obstructed by the state and construction of the open ditches used for the drainage of roads.

Mr. WAKLEY, M.P., then made an eloquent and powerful speech on the financial policy of the Govern ment, and at the conclusion of his address, On the motion of Mr. MABBS, it was unanimously resolved—" That however unjust and odious the window tax may be, it is the opinion of this meeting that a de termined effort should be made to oppose the imposition of any addition to the income-tax—that as reduction of expenditure must precede any diminution of taxation, this meeting earnestly requests the Members for the borough to insist upon a searching inquiry into the present enormous expenditure of the Government, for the purpose of making a very considerable reduction therein, and to strenuously resist the voting of any sup plies until such a thorough investigation has been made." It was also resolved to call a public meeting of the inhabitants of the borough on Friday evening, to strengthen the hands of its representative in opposing the budget. Thanks were voted to the Chairman, on the motion of Mr. WAKLEY and Mr. C. COCHRANE; and the compli• ment having been acknowledged by that Gentleman, the meeting broke up. After arguments of considerable length from both of the Learned Gentlemen engag.d, the Court decided to hear evidence upon the transaction referred to as having taken place in the case of the sale of the 670 shares on the 4th of September, that transaction aloae, without any reference to partnership appearing to come within the cognizance of the Court of Alderman. That in connexion with the general drainage works, under the direction of the commissioners of sewers, facilities should be given to owners and occupiers for the drainage of the lands adjacent to the suburban dis tricts by advances on loan, repayable by instalments, with the advantage of the general survey, and the aid of the superintendence of the officers of the commission. That where land continues in a state of mash in jurious to the health of the population compulsory powers of drainage should be given and exercied in re. l a tion to it. •!4" - That, however perfect the drainage of the interior of the urban districts may be, the beneficial effects on the population must be greatly diminished unless the drain age of the suburban land be put in proper relation with it. All which we humbly certify to your Majesty. ROBERT GROSVENOR. EDWIN CHADWICK. T. SOUTHWOOD SMITH. RICHARD OWEN. RICHARD LAMBERT JONES. Gwydyr House, Whitehall, Feb. 19. Mr. Nelson was then called and examined, and he dis tinctly proved the allegations in the petition with regard to the sale of the particular date referred to, and stated that his repeated applications for the name of the pur chaser of the shares had been ineffectual.: The books of the defendant were called for and pro- duced, and examined, and there was no entry of the name of the purchaser or of the seller of the shares, as required by the regulations of the Court of Aldermen. Mr. CLARKSON admitted that his client had not com plied with the regulations, but declared that so far from having entertained a thought of fraudulent dealing, he had been a most serious loser by the unfortunate con nexion he had formed in these share speculations, which so many had reason to deplore. The court was then cleared, and the Aldermen re mained some time in consultation. MATCH AGAINST THE CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.- In a cottage not very far from the well-known village of Ecclefechan, which can boast of more bridges than even the metropolis itself, there wons a gudewife who is now in her 92d or 93d year, and is able, notwithstanding, to read without the aid of spectacles, and use her legs with more vigour than many who are her juniors by a couple of scores of years. From her cottage abe com mands a view of the Caledonian Railway for nearly five miles, and often amuses herself with watching the trains careering along, speculating on the unto changes which lave taken place since the days of her girlhood. While discussing these matters the other day she laid a bet of a crown piece with her son that she would start from her house, which is three-quarters of a mile from the line of railway, as soon as the mail train came in sight, and reach an accommodation bridge which it crosses before the train came up, The proposal agreed to, she kilted up her petticoats as soon as the locomotive showed its fiery nose, and away she ran, three fourths of a mile against four and three-quarters ; but for the one a 7ery elderly pair of legs, for the other the steam steed rushing along with more than the velocity of the race-horse. For once, however, even steam was too slow, and, with wind in very fair order, the nonage narian gained the bridge, ran below and back again, ere the ponderous train whizzed above the arch. During the race she met a younger female acquaintance, who wished to speak to her. " I hue nae time the noo—eh, eh—l'm riunin' a race wi' the train, ye see—eh, eh— unless—eh, eh —ye keep up wi' me." This her friend attempted to do, but soon found she had bellows to mend, and was forced to give in. The winner went home triumphantly, pocketed the stakes with great gusto, and was so little the worse of her exertions that she offered to run the same distance against her son, who, after the specimen he had just had of his mother's powers in the racing line, very prudently declined the proposal. There is evidently no great need of sanitary reform among the braes of Annandale.—Dumfries Courier. When the doors were re-opened, The RECORDER informed the parties that Mr. Field, jun., had committed, in the judgment of the Court, an infraction of the law, in not having registered in his books the names of the purchaser and seller, and that if ho required to be heard on the question, whether his bond should be put in force against him, the Court would appoint an early day for hearing him. Mr. CLARKSON intimated, that such was the anxious wish of his client, and next Tuesday week was appointed for the decision. CAUTION TO SUOPIEEPERS.—The public had better be on their guard, as two respectably-dressed and rather interesting young females are in the habit of calling on silk mercers and drapers, generally in the dusk o f the evening, turning over a variety of goods, and causing great confusion. This they often manage especial ly if the salesman be inexperienced. A favourite plan s to i ask for gentlemen's silk handkerchiefs, and try to get as the pretence i many pieces on the eounter as possible, on of looking for a particular make. When this s managed, they open a piece fully out over the others, as if for the purpose of seeing the size; they then, if not too narrow l y watched, manage to sly a piece or t wo under their shawls as a prize for their ingenuity.—Scotch Reformers Gazette.

MACREADY PROM THE STAGE.—On Friday night, Mr. Macready took his benefit at the Theatre Royal, Newcastle-on-Tyne. At the conclusion of the comedy, Mr. Macready was called in front of the curtain, and on making his appearance was hailed with loud cheers, - which were again and again repeated. On silence being gained, Mr. Mac ready, who was labouring under deep emotion, thanked the audience very sincerely for their kind expression of regard to him. He said he looked upon Newcastle as an old home: his visits to it wero anticipated with pleasure, and he left it with regret. It was amongst the first to encourage his juvenile efforts, and their kindness he had never forgot. The next visit ho should pay them, would, in all probability, bo his last, he would then have to say the word " Farewell," a word always painful to utter, but to him on that occasion doubly so. He proposed retiring from the stage at an early day, not because ho felt ago creeping upon him, or his faculties or energies im paired, but because of the present deplorable condition of our national drams. Wishing them all health and prosperity, he now for a season bade them adieu.

FOUR MEN SMOTHERED.—The sloop Mary, from Shieldaig, of Applecross, with a crew of four, while at anchor in the harbour of Lochinver, was boarded on Sunday, the 13th inst., by two sailors from a vessel lying alongside the quay there, who, on looking into the forecastle, were horrified to observe one man dead. Oa farther inquiry it was found that the whole crew, con sisting of other three persons, were dead. After a mi nute investigation of the circumstances, it was satisfac torily ascertained that the cause of their death was suf focation from smoke. They bad been dead three days Wore they were dilmerel—lioss - shire Advertiser. AT SEd numerous ships it has already saved, and the captains gratefully ac knowledge the glorious results. Two testimonial extracts shall suffice : " Captain Greig, from Quebec to London, status that the Fountain Pump tieing fitted in the Caroline, its great power was the means of saTing the ship and 230 souls ea board, two seams in the bottom being partly left without calking." " The Argus brig, from Cadiz, sprung a leak when three days out at sea, and soon after her common pump elm:lkea and became use less. Captain Rutherford states all then depended upon her Foun tain Pump, which for nineteen days and eighteen nights was in ac tion without a minute's respite, when all arrived safely in London, with a thank God for the Fountain Pump." ON LAND the New Portable Fire-engines are of infinitely better service than a fire brigade. They act Instantaneously at the ontbreak of a fire. " We are delighted with the invention—it is a great boon to so elety."—Edi tors Liverpool Mail. The New Portable Fire-engines hare preserved a large portion of Norwich from destruction, for out of eighteen different properties on flra In aid near the city, they saved eleven solely and seven mainly, including in the seven the Queen's Cavalry Barracks ; and in the eleven, Messrs. liorton's dycry, and 12,0001. worth of consigned pro perty; Stoke mustard, starch, and tour mills, and Messrs. Butcher's grocery warehouses, just in time to prevent a large quantity of pt powder therein from exploding, which must have spread around de struction and death. " North Walsham.—At this fire the Portable Engine was of great service, and by haying one of them ready, there is no doubt but half the property now destroyed might have been saved."—Norfolk Chro nicle, August 22, 1846. At a Norwioh fire June 2, 1847, the two Portable Engines were the pets of the public. The cry was, feed the little engines and they will do the work, which proved true. The four large engines present proved useless. Portable Engines speedily prove steam-boilers to a dont atm,- lpheres. Now the fact is this, all former Force Pumps, Lift-force Pumps, Lift Pumps, and Chain Pumps are bad machines : they rub, grub, and scrape the water upwards by friction, which wastes two-fifths of the power used, and progressively falter by leakage, which Drs. Young and Hutton, with many other eminent experimenters, lamented thus :—The quantity if water actually raised by any machine seldom exceeCs half the power consumed, after overcoming friction and leakage ; and notwithstanding the best engineers in the world had tried in vain for two thousand years to abate these palpable defects in hydraulic machines, nevertheless, at last the victory is won, and won for ever ; for friction and leakage are low both annihilated by the new rolling principle in pumps, and their effect augmented fens twelve to twenty (or about seventy per cent.), and frequently with out more outlay. Most teen can sustain heavy rapid pump trials for 40 sceends,:but some men drop at minute time. With a best new heavy working Fric tion Pump an active sound-winded young man of 140 lbs. weight can raise 10,000 lbs. of water one foot high in a minute, and with a Foun tain Pump 9,000 lbs. in half a minute. Thus a continual and most extraordinary luerative advantage is gained over perpetual and uni ♦ersal ignorance, clearly preying that Knowledge is Power. Job. Clanton Roberts, Esq., in Isis popular work, No. 1,110, did well in placing Gosset's French l'ump Abortion (that slaps the water upward) side by side with the Fountain Pump, which upset a good deal of Folly. Because Mr. Mallett, Dublin, a thorough-bred pump maker, Mr. liaddiey, London, an everlasting pump-writer, and Mr. Ewbank, America, an ignorant pump book-maker, asserted that the two pumps were identical, But the Yankee out-fooled John Bull aid Paddy in No. 1,183, and in No. 496, Book-maker Millington's remarks are preposterous. However, en the ether hand, Dr. Birk beck, Aberdour, Ilay, I'arkington, with many other discerning men, after witnessing the perfect effect and the beautiful simplicity of the rolling principle, gave the invention the following true and sustain able character:—The Fountain Pump is the most important improve ment in the art of raising water that has appeared within the last two thousand years—the greatest advancement in the useful arts in modern times. The Censensmation Fountain Pumps are successfully oarricd out for private end public uses, at lifts below and above 100 feet altitude, for man, horse, and steam power; delivering from half a pint per stroke to 100 barrels of water per minute, and rendering every fair trial at competitive ridiculous, whilst their durability' is guaranteed at less cost than common pumps.

A PARENTAL DIALOGUE; OR, THE WISE CHOICE. 9. few evenings back (for I happened to see) Mr. Smart and his lady were sitting at tea ; And Harry, their first-born, a beautiful lad, Completed the bliss of the Mammy and Dad. Now, at times each as this, it is often the case, That a family chit-chat is heard to take place ; So it was with the Smarts on the evening In question, And thus Mrs S. made a useful suggestion : " My dear," said the wife, with a smile that bewitched, " Don't you think it's high time for the boy to be breech'd ; " For my own part, I certainly think that it is; " And now for his suit—for I'm rather a quiz. a I consider there's no better thing can be done, " Than to go to the Warehouse of MOSES and SON." " Of course," said the husband, " you couldn't suppose " That I'd ever go anywhere else for his clothes. " Messrs. MOSES my highest approval have won, " Aed they, therefore, shad furnish both father and son. " You remember, my dear, how I stood to remark, " Each juvenile suit as we walked through the Park ; " And I know they were MOSES and SON'S by the cut, " And Harry shall have one, without if,' or ' but.' " Messrs. MOSES are faultless in all that they sell, " In hosiery, clothing, and fur goods as well. " And quality blended : with cheapness is ono " Of the mighty attractions of MOSES and SON."

Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the Loudon Hospital Medical Society, &c. Marriage reqttires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the veil, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised, and its true source in every instance disclosed, in how many could Übe traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap pointments. Excesses are always injurious; the gift, which when used in moderation is flAnght with advantage, becomes, when abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less Injury to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses. on .he nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate, are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frame, than any other to which it is subject. This work contains ae accurate and caerrplete ucceunt of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of their relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly requires the closest attention' and study, for what subject can be of more importance than the preservation of the health, and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. It unfortunately happens that the millappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while sufferiag from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can he procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination i ii ascertaining the causes of disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, Inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the medical man who can show by his possession of the requisite legal qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr. Lt'MEltT has obtained the highest medical honours, as his diplomas certify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experience, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these diseases.

I NQ UEST ON MR. ROBERT COATES.—Yesterday a coroner's inquest was held by M r. W akley, M. P ., and a hi g hly respectable jury, at 28, Montague square, on the body of Mr. Robert Coates, aged 76, who some thirty years ago was well known as "the amateur of fashion" and " Romeo Coates. It appeared from the evidence of Mary Ann Castle, lady's-maid, that the deceased gent l em an had been brought home early on Wednesday morning by Mr. Burton, of King's College Hospital, and a policeman, and that he was much injured. He told witness that he had been run over by a cab. He did not blame any one, but spoke o f t h e rec kl ess d r i v i ng b y street cabmen in general. He died in the presence of witness on Monday last at noon. Mr. T. Tatum, of 3, George-street, Hanover-square, surgeon, proved that he was called in to see the , deceased on Wednesd a y morning last, at eight o clock. Deceased had nearly recovered from a state of collapse. He was suffering but little pain, and seemed cheerf u l. H e to ld w it ness that he had been knocked dow n an d run over b y a street cab ( Hansom',) near the Hummums, Covent garden, shout one o'clock that morning. He said that having l e ft his opera-glass at D rury -l ane Th eatre, h e was returning to fetch it, when th e acc id ent occurre d . Witness found several ribs broken on both sides of the deceased, there was also a slight injury of the knee; the wound afterwards sloughed, and there was diffused inflammation; mortification came on, an d d eat h was the consequence. Sir B. Brodie saw the deceased gentleman on Thursday, but to one in so advanced a period of life there was no hope after such extensive injuries. There being no other evidence, the jury, und er the advice of the Coroner, returned a verdict of "Died from injuries received from being run over by a street cab—man slaughter against some person or pers ons un k nown. " After the verdict was deliveredit was stated by a p o li ce inspector that there was not yet a direct clue to the in culpated party; the cab had a grey horse in it, and of the two persons who had seen the accident, one, a m a n of colour, was lin prison for felony, and the other had given a false address. The deceased gentleman had l ong since retired into private life and was held in universal esteem for his charitable character. LOCK HOSPITAL AND ASY LUM.—Th e ann i versary dinner of this most useful charity took place last night at the London Tavern, and was most numerously and respectably attended. Lord Morpeth presided ; and among the company were ..Lord Kinnaird the Hon. Arthur Kinnaird, Colonel heppell, Mr- B. Bond Cab bell, M.P., the Hon. W. Cowper, the Bishop of Madras, the Dean of 'Winchester, Sir Ralph Anstruther, Mr. Hudson, M.P., Mr. R. Hanbury, the Rev. J. Gamier, Mr. David B. Chapman, and Mr- H. Hoare, The Noble Chairman, in proposing the toast of the evening, made a very forcible appeal on behalf of the charity, the value of which is well known, and has long been recog nised by the benevolent public. Subscriptions were an nounced to the amount of nearly 9001. The dinner and arrangements connected with it were excellent, and gave general satisfaction. The choristers of Winchester Ca thedral were present, and delighted the company by their musical performances. Mr. Higgs was an efficient toast master. It is due to the interests of the i nst i tut i on to mention the gratuitous exertions in its behalf of Mr. Jenkins, assistant-secretary to St. Mary's Hospital. JUQGERNAUT.—The worship of Jagan-nath (th e lord of the t, crld) is a disgraceful mixture of cruelty and obscenity. The supposed character of the deity is marked, as of old, by the Phallic orgies, and bis favour is thought to be most effectually procured by the self immolation of his votaries. Like the Egyptian Osiris, the god of Orissa has his sacred bulls, which familiarly mingle with the deluded pilgrims; like tho Assyrian Mylitta, the Cyprian Venus, and the Armenian Anais, he is propitiated by female lewdness; and, like the war god of Egypt and the agricultural god of Phoenicia, he is drawn on high festivill days in solemn procession seated in a towering car,—Poynder's Literary Extracts (New Series).

The operations of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared expressly tor that purpose by two eminent actuaries. The leading principles of this Seci,,ty are 1. Perfect equality of benefit between all the Members, whether borrowers or not. 2. Certainty in the amount of advance to which each Member wishliag to anticipate his Shares will be entitled at any given period of the Society's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely at any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the valise at the Sharct of continuing Members. Members may pay up the whole or any portion of their subscrip tions for the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 4/. per Cent. per annum, will be allowed for the sums so paid. Members wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period com pound interest at the rate of 6/. per Cont. per annum will he allowed upon the mans withdrawn. Shares may he transferred free of stamp duties. By the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at any period, and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have 0:1111i advanced to them without paying up arrears of Subscriptions ; and the precise amounts that will he advanced either to old or new Members, are out forth in the Tables, a eopy of which will be sup plied to every Member. This is manifestly far preferable to the un equal a..d obiectionable system usually adopted of putting the shares rip to auction, and advancing the money to these who submit to the largest discount ; by which moans the object of the Legislature, which contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the same advantage, is entirely frustrated. The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow ing Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the end of the Society; borrowers are, therefore, relieved front the heavy monthly " redemption fee," and the mutual principle is car ried into full operation. No Member lass any responsibility beyond the payment of his own subscriptions. Prospectuses and copies of Rules may be obtained at the office of the Society, 15, Old Broad-street.
