An atrocious offence was committed on Sunday morning on the railway near to Wolverhampton. On the south side of the Great Western Railway station near to that town the systems of the Great Western and the West Midland unite, and there are the customary junction signals, one set of them worked from a signal-box, the occupant of which, through the intervening of a bridge, cannot at all times see the lights and the arms respectively. At a certain time, between two and four in the morn ing, two trains pass the junction in opposite direc tions at nearly the same time, but are prevented from colliding by the signals of one or other of the lines being kept up at danger. On Sunday morning the Great Western train found the signal by which it was regulated down, and the driver therefore brought his train on ; but he perceived that at the same time the West Mid land signal was down also. On passing the box of the signalman he called his attention to the subject. The signalman then found that he could not work the levers of the signals iu question ; on examina tion, he discovered that some one had, by operating upon the lamps without entering the signalman's box, put the signals of both lines at " Safety ;" and, to keep them in that position, had so hung the weights of the base at the signal -posts that the levers could not be worked in the box. Suspicion rests upon a discharged servant. A Visit to Portland. (From a Correspondent of the Morning Post.) Tho island of Portland is, perhaps, one of the most curi ous natural formations to be met with around our coasts. It is about four and a half miles long, two in breadth, and nine in circumference. Towards the south it slopes grad ually towards the sea, where it forms a blunt point, which, seen more especially from West Bay, assumes the appear ance of the bill of a huge bird—hence its name Portland Bill, so well known to all sailors who frequent the English Channel. With the exception of the southern extremity all the other portions of this remarkable island are raised a great height above the level of the sea, the cliffs in many cases being precipitous, while in others yawning chasms, huge rocks scattered about in confusion ages ago by some great convulsion of nature, and the debris of quarries, all attest the fact that it is for the most part ona solid mass of stone against which the waves have beaten for centuries without making any serious impression upon it, though in all probability they scooped out a passage for themselves between West Bay and Portland Roads, and which is now blocked up by that marvellous ridge of shingle called Che sil Beach, where the fishermen hand in their seines during the mackerel season, when as many as 50,000 fish are some times captured at a single draught. The Romans, who had extensive settlements at Dorchester, Ham Hill (Somerset), Ilchester, and numerous other places in the west, un doubtedly occupied Portland. Tho inhabitants are rather a peculiar race, retaining many primitive customs, and some persons even go so far as to say that their forefathers came from the Basque Provinces. The soil is for the most part thin, very much subdivided, except in a few in stances where property has been consolidated by family arrangements, and tho cultivation on tho whole is any thing but satisfactory. The Portland sheep is a small horned animal, with a long tail, such as may be seen on the Welsh mountains or on the wilds of Donegal, woll known to the epicure; but we are obliged to dissi pate that pleasing myth so generally believed about its eating the little shell snail which pervades the grass in millions, and to which is ascribed the delicious flavour of Portland mutton. Every shepherd whom I questioned told me that there was no truth whatever in the popular notion prevalent on this subject. The wheatoar, or British orto lan, abounds on the island, and builds its nest among the rocks. It is rather larger than the skylark, and is much esteemed as an article of food. Lobsters and crabs are very plentiful all along the rocky shores, greatly to the advan tage of the fishermen. Portland Roads form one of the finest harbours of refuge in the world. Land-locked on all sides except towards the east, or sea-ward, they only re quired the present breakwater, which as such may now be said to be almost completed, in order to render them a place of safety for war or for merchant ships to enter during stress of weather when passing up or down Channel ; and it must be borne in mind that thero is no other haven of the kind all along this rugged coast from Torbay to Ports mouth. After the Duke of Wellington called public atten tion to the defenceless state of the kingdom, at least so far as the fortifications of our shores and dockyards were con cerned, it seems to have occurred to military men that the occupation of Portland by an enemy would, if it ever oc curred, cause us great trouble and anxiety. If once esta blished there, even in comparatively small numbers, fur nished with modern artillery and having the command of the ocean for a short time, he could have been furnished with ammunition and provisions, and, from the towering heights which dominate the sea as well as Chesil Beach, he might have been enabled to resist all attempts to expel him. Now this stronghold, or at least those portions of it which command the approaches to the island, have been bought by the Government, and fortified in every possible way which military science and engineering skill can suggest. The Verne forts which are erected on the highest point of the island, could, with their guns, maintain a terrific plunging fire against the vessels of an enemy entering the " Roads," with a view either to cut out merchant ships, or to land troops ; while the Nothe fort (the works on which are being actively prosecuted by the Royal Engineers) would, from its prominent position close to Weymouth harbour, bo competent not only to protect the town and the shipping, but also to use its guns in de fending the roadstead. At the extremity of the breakwater there is a circular fort now in course of construction, which is already several yards above the sea level, and which, when finished, will be armed with guns of the heaviest calibre. The bottom is composed of stiff blue clay ; and some idea may be formed of the quantity of stone necessary to lay its foundations when we say that the depth at low water is 63 feet, while at high tido it is 69 or 70feet. Last winter, owing it is supposed to the foundations of this structure not having been broad enough, and to the tides having washed away portions of the loose stones that had been thrown in on which to erect the superstructure, a crack °crime(' in Mn work s-s+snainz right across it. Additional materials wore added to widen the ease—Lnu fissure was closed up by heavier blocks of stone than those that had been used before, and tho fort is every day pro gressing towards completion. The materials for construct ing this great artificial ridge (as it may be termed) of rocks, the result of convict labour on the island, wore conveyed to their destination on trucks drawn by locomotives along a tramway erected on piles, and afterwards discharged by the withdrawal of a spring, which caused the bottom of the carriage to give way, when the contents, consisting of irregularly shaped pieces of rock of various sizes, the re fuse of the quarries, dropped into their places, causing a noise and splash which were a never failing source of in terest to the numerous visitors who came to inspect this great national undertaking. There is an opening in the breakwater sufficient to admit of two large vessels passing one another, which is likewise commanded by two forts, ono of which is completed. The tide rushes through it with considerable velocity, scours the bottom of the road stead, and will enable vessels to proceed to sea without going round the breakwater. The staging and rails are still standing, as they are necessary to the completion of the fort to which we have already alluded, and doubts have been expressed as to the propriety of removing them. Storms, it is asserted, may be expected to wash away or to displace certain portions of the outer foundations of the structure, which must be replaced. Were the staging and rails taken away, some people fear that there would bo no means of conveying materials to the spots where damage might be done, except by lighters, which would prove a very tedious and expansive process as com pared with the present plan of locomotives and trucks. It has been proposed to close the opening in this great work; but what effect such a step would have on the depth of water in the roadstead is a problem which actual trial alone could determine. The tides here are peculiar. There aro four hours of flood, four of ebb tide, and four of low water. During the continuance of the latter the "guldur," or half-tide, sets in for about an hour; and after it has re tired, the regular flow commences at the usual time. The influence of t e cause of the " gu ld ur " i s, we believe, i nvolved in consider abled in Channels oin by e obscurity, th ough by some it is supposed to originate in the ho Englishxecise wayorothefrormon and currents the peculiar position of Portland. Under any circumstances, it is to be hoped that Government will complete the outer break water by erecting a sea-wall similar to that already built on the inner. Were the rails and scaffolding removed, a drawbridge might be constructed of sufficient strength to span the opening, and a tramway extending from one and to the other of the entire structure would enable the authorities to convey ammunition and provisions to the troops stationed in the forts, and in other respects tend to render this scheme of national defences, noted for utility and strength, and of which the breakwater forms a very material element, one of the most efficient in the United Kingdom. The distance from the Verne to the fort now being built at the extremity of the breakwater is, speak ing roughly, about one mile and a half ; that from thelatter to the Nothe two miles and a half ; and from the Nothe to the Verne about three and a half or four miles, as the crow flies. These forts, forming a sort of triangle, command the roadstead, which has a depth of water, oven at low tide, to float the largest vessel that has ever yet been built, as the Great Eastern remained at anchor here for several days during her unfortunate trial trip down the Channel, after she was launched, and when an explosion took place which killed several persons, wounding others, and might have blown up the big ship. The bed of the bay and roads is a stiff blue clay, forming excellent holding ground ; but it is said that if a vessel once begins to drift, the fluke of the anchor becomes so clogged with this stiff adhesive sub stance that unless it cants or turns over there is little chance of her being brought up again. However, casual ties of this kind must always be extremely rare, as the roadstead is both safe and capacious. Tho approaches to the Verne from the shore are all scarped, while a deep and wide ditch, cut out of the solid rock by convict labour, isolates the fort on the land side, and an overwhelming fire could bo poured across the island in the direction of the Bill, on which, if an enemy had the temerity to land and afterwards attempted to advance northwards, he would speedily be ann ihilated, as all rocks and other obstacles capable of giving s helter to invaders have been removed, fortifications rendered and the space south of thecom paratively level. Chesil Beach is commanded by guns n above the village of Fortune's placed at a great elevation io Well, and it is believed that in the event of a hostile force West Bay on this mountain of attempting a landing fr om pebbles, the shot and shell from Verne, in addition to the havoc which they would commit among a body of men more or less confused by the very act of landing, would also be greatly aided by the showers of stones which on striking them would be raised ; and every ono of them, at short range, would be almost as destructive as a bullet. The lower portions of the island intervening between the Verne fort and the shore have boon made available for the erection of batteries. Earthworks have been con structed on the most commanding positions, and nature and art have hero combined their resources with a view to make this one of the strongest places in England. It has been suggested that, in order to render this system of fortifications complete, forts should be constructed on the opposite side of Weymouth Bay, as the distance across either from the Notho or from the breakwater fort is, it is feared, too great for even the heaviest guns to keep up an accurate fire on an enemy attempting to land at or about the Preventive Station. Guns placed on the heights either of Osmington or White Nose, or on both; would, it is sup posed, add greatly to the completeness of the great scheme of these defences, of which Portland may be considered the key. The public, we believe, aro convinced of the im mense utility and prodigious strength of these works. The harbour of refuge will be useful not only for our war ships, but also to our merchant vessels under various circum stances, and of late years it has been much resorted to by the latter. The Eviction of Colliers at Cramlington. --~-- Some further disturbances occurred at Cramlington, near Newcastle-on-Tyne, on Friday, in connection with tho eviction of the colliers who are on strike from their cot tages. Tho Newcastle Chronicle says :—" About half-past nine o'clock a special train was seen approaching with the candy men; or bailiffs, and a protecting body of police. Behind and within a very short distance of this train was an engine and van, conveying another lot of constables. Upon the arrival of these trains opposite to the landing place, the mob, which consisted of about one thousand men, orowded round to see the parties alight, and showed their disapproval of their coming by reviling, hissing, and hooting. The candy men walked in single file between two rows of police officers, and were pre ceded and followed by stronger bodies. As they were passing in at the gateway leading to the farmstead, the rush was so great that the order of procession grew irre gular and was well-nigh broken, so that the objects of attack—tho likely to rocoiyo morriloss treat ment. Tho police, who were pushed to and fro, at last forced back the colliers. Stones were thrown at the bailiffs and constables on the turnpike by men in ambuscade, and the colliers who were on the same track got into the carts, determined not to be left behind. The drivers good naturedly bore with the intrusion, and the long and thick black line so formed moved sluggishly to the row of about ' fifty dwellings which was to furnish them with work. The inhabitants wore on the look-out. Some might be seen peering out of a small attic window, and others, more courageous, were ready upon an approach to turn in and shore up the door. This precaution had been taken in many instances, so that entrance was any thing but easy of accomplishment. First one door and then another was tried without avail, and upon each suc ceeding disappointment there was an outburst of cheering, of laughter, and derision. Mr. Potter and Mr. Telford came up, and orders were given to batter the doors down. About 14 of the candy men were in this respect assisted by some of the officials of the colliery, amongst whom was the blacksmith. The dwelling of Mark Robinson was the first house assailed. The free application of the heavy ham mer of the blacksmith made the place resound. Its re peated blows were followed by the groans, deeper and deeper still, of the irate men. The wife and three children came out, and the place was left to bo dealt with by the bailiffs, who proceeded to bring out the effects. The horsemen formed a semicircle in front of these premises to keep a clear space for the carrying on of the business. The pit men pressed forward, and as they did so the horses were backed by their riders, and many mon and boys were jammed against the walls or received other slight injuries from being thrown down in efforts made to escape. Spades and pick axes were to be seen here and there, and the pos sessors of those implements of industry converted them into weapons of warfare, with the former striking the horses on their flanks, and with the latter threatening their riders. The windows of nearly every house were broken, the spout ing was pulled down, and the doors and other woodwork smashed to pieces. A large butt, which owing to the late rain, was full of water, was overturned, and wet slush was thrown in the faces of some who bore a badge of distinction such as rubbish of that sort striking a man on the face might be supposed to confer. A few women also endeavoured to frighten the steeds by rattling upon blazers, and making other discordant and alarming sounds. One man was badly squeezed against a wall, and an older one had his hat knocked off, and was toppled to one side. A third, who was backed upon by a constable in the same way, uplifted a pick axe and with angry expressions avowed that ho would deal a blow at the neck of the horse if not at the rider. The house inhabited by John Richard son, a widower, and his daughter, which adjoined, was de serted, the removal having been to the Fox and Hounds, in Cramlington village, not far from the Traveller's Rest, to which Robinson had gone. The task which the candy men had before them in breaking open the house of William My croft was a hard one. Strong props had been placed 4.-1.4,,,t the door, so that lc 4-- 4,, hn 1.--"^-.d for some minutes before it showed any sign of giving way. Tile iron catch bunt but would not, break, and the panels had to be knocked into pieces before an opening could be made and admission gained. Mycroft, his wife, and three chil dren, and their furniture, were taken out. Attention was next directed to the house of James Lee, who had a wife and two daughters, as well as three daughters of a relative who had gone to Australia. The furniture here was re moved in the midst of a row similar to that which we have narrated in conjunction with a preceding case. James Simp son was then dealt with, and after him George Armstrong, who had an elderly and motherly woman living with him and ono child as well as three workers. The greatest battle of the day, however, was fought in front of the house of John Carr, who had a wife and four children. The door was well shored up inside, and seemed to defy tho blows of the blacksmith. The people, too, became infuriated by the pushing about which they were subjected to by the police, and stones, earth, brickbat; and pieces of wooden railing were showered upon those who guarded the candy men and the housebreakers. This cottage was full of men—it literally swarmed with men. Three or four faces could bo aeon close together, watching anxiously the ope rations of those below, and at length the window was opened, and some broken ware and small articles were thrown out. The constables outside had great difficulty in keeping their ground, their horses being either pricked or punched. Meanwhile lots of men got over tho rails into some gardens in the front, and commenced pelting stones. They were helped by the great throng of pit men on the main road, and the order was given to charge. The constables drew their staves, and a gene ral melee followed. Tho men, however, found some stones, and used them as fast as they did so from their hands, or little stones which they had in their pockets. Had the police charged further on the road in the direction which the men were tempting them, a huge heap of paving stones was to have been the place of for midable resistance, and the consequences would have boon fearful. Several persons were injured. One was struck on the left temple and the other on the crown of the head by the policemen with their staves, and Dr. Davidson had to be sent for. Their wounds bled profusely, and caused faintness and illness. When the police entered the house about a dozen men jumped rapidly in succession from the window, others escaped through the roof of the pantry into the field adjoining, and many got out at the top of the house where the tiles had been swept off for the purpose in case of emergency. Only one small shattered piece of hanging wood remained of the door; the window frame was broken to shivers, the walls damaged, and the building given up as a total wreck, as an enemy would leave a fortress useless for the conquerors. A table had been broken up, and the legs of it were in the hand of the invaded party for protec tion. Tho police captured a few men, but in several in stances they broke away, or it was not thought advisable to retain them. In addition to this exploit, there were other circumstances as untoward. Five or six of the loads of furniture had been stopped, and a score of men untied and put into the same or other houses the goods only a short time before taken out with so much trouble. It was decided to give up for the day, and the candy . men were conducted by a posse of police to the train which was wait ' ing to carry them to Newcastle. T he y left, as they arrived, amid derision and danger, after abo ut three hours' work, which had only ended in one real removal from . the place. destruction act t n e d f a be p a ain rs f t u e l s dr tim ani on 3 y .,, to the The Terrace thisn it° w is ae third wreck,it Foreign Mail Packet List.

VALETTA, Oct. 11.—The only movements in the fleet to be reported this week are the arrival of the Supply, 2, iron screw storeship, Staff Commander C. Bawden, on the sth inst., from Woolwich and Plymouth, passengers, Mrs. Norcock and family ; the arrival of the Enterprise, 4, ironclad corvette, Commander C. J. Rowley, on the 9th inst., from Castellamare ; and the departure of the Assurance, 4, screw gun vessel, Commander 11. B. Wooll combe, on the same day, for the Bay of Naples. Letters from Naples of the 3d inst. say that her Ma- 1 jesty's ship Caledonia (bearing the flag of Rear-Ad miral H. R. Yelvertou, C. 8.) has been ordered from Castellamare to Palermo, where she is to remain till the 20th of Oct. She is then to go to Agosta, a port between Catania and Syracuse. The Enter prise is to join the Caledonia,,at Palermo. The Rev. F. Thompson and the Rev. Mr. Coghlan, army chaplains ; Capt. G. F. T. Whitlock, 84th Regi ment, and family; and Lieut. H. C. Clanchly, left by the Syria for Southampton. Lieut. C. Cooke, R.A., left the French steamer Junon for Mar seilles. Major Graham, Lieut. Hammersley, Mr. Clarke, and Dr. Stables arrived by the Pera from Southampton. Capt. Herbert and the Hon. Mr. E. Seicluna arrived by the Ripon from Marseilles. The iron sailing ship Rinaldo, 1,100 tons, Com mander J. C. Liston, R.N.R., belonging to Messrs. Liston, Young, and Co., of London, arrived at Spit head yesterday morning with invalided and time expired troops on board, under contract with the Hon. Council of India, after a very favourable pas sage home from Calcutta. The officers, non commissioned officers, and men on board consist of Lieut. J. C. Maling, 87th Foot, in command of detachment ; Surg. Rennie, M.D., 20th Hussars, in medical charge ; and her cabin passengers were Capt. Chichester, 7th Dragoon Guards ; -Lieut. H. J. Wheeler, and Lieut. H. J. Pete, 43d 8.N.1. ; and Mr. Nutt, and twenty-three time expired soldiers, five invalided soldiers, three women, and four children from regiments serving in India. The Rinaldo sailed from Calcutta on the 21st of June, rounded the Cape of Good Hope on the 21st of August, crossed the equator, in long. 21 W., on the 10th of September, and called in at St. Helena on the . Ist of the same month. Light trade winds from the line to the Western Islands were experienced, the wind keeping well to the east ward. After passing Fayal strong winds were met with from N.E., N.W., and W.N.W. Soundings at the entrance of the Channel were made on the 11th inst. There a furious gale from the N.W. was fallen in with, which lasted 18 hours. From Oct. Ist until the 10th the barometer fell gradually from 30 to 29.30. During the height of the gale the baro meter marked 29.28, and on Oct. 12, the day after the gale, it had reached 29.60. The following ships, which are supposed to have not yet arrived home, desired to be reported :—On July 10, in lat. 4 41 N., long. 94 25 E., the American ship Mary Russell, from Moulmein, 35 days out; Sept. 11, in lat. 1 47 S., long. 22 28 W., the Northern Belle, from Bom bay for London; Sept. 30, in lat. 12 41 N., long. 28 1 W., the Eglantine, from Ceylon for London. The Rinaldo will transfer her troops this morning by Government steam tender to the Royal Victoria Military Hospital at Netley, and to Portsmouth garrison for regimental depots, and will immediately afterwards sail for London to deliver her cargo. At a naval court-martial held on board H.M.S. Victory, at Portsmouth, on Saturday, Mr. William Rogers, paymaster, of H.M.S. Basilisk, was tried on a charge of drinking intoxicating liquors between Sept. 20th and Oct. sth last, so as to incapacitate him from fulfilling his duties. The court sentenced the prisoner to be dismissed from her Majesty's ser vice, but in consideration of his previous good con duct, and the very high certificates of character he produced, the court recommended him to the mer ciful consideration of the Lords of the Admiralty.

After six weeks of drought and fine sunny and summer-like weather a complete change took place on the first day of the past week, rain having fallen at 7 a.m. while it was very wet at 9 p.m. On Mon day morning it was apparent much rain had fallen in the past night, and the forenoon was showery, with the afternoon very wet. This will prove a most ac ceptable change, enabling the farmer to set the ploughs at work on all the heavy soils and to proceed with wheat sowing on the lighter lands, giving an op portunity of getting the seed into the ground in fine order. On Tuesday there was not much rain up to 2 p.m., when it became showery, and the night was very wet. Our advices on that day from the West Riding of Yorkshire state—" After two showery:days and a rainy night, we have a flow of waterin our river again, which is very acceptable. Farmers too will now bo able to plough and to sow wheat and tares, as weather permits ; and if it keeps mild, turnips will improve in some cases, though too far gone to do so generally. A good breadth of rye will no doubt be sown, as it was last year, and came in well for the sheep. Ido not hear much complaint of potatoes, and the finest of the wheat is what the public will have." Wednesday morning was foggy, and heavy showers fell at intervals throughout the day. Wind S.W., thermometer GO deg. ; barometer as low as 29.20 inches, with boisterous weather on all the east coast ; and the " drum" signal generally hoisted, with a rough high sea up to Scotland inclusive. One account from Wales makes the fall of rain within 24 hours to register 2.32 inches, and such falls would soon balance accounts of the dry weather previously. Thurs day was a fine breezy day, freshening the atmosphere and doing much good. The farmers were busily engaged in all directions with their autumnal tillage, and will now make up for lost time in waiting for a fall of moisture.

From the East Riding of Yorkshire it was observed—" After about six weeks of continued dry hot weather, rain has at last set in, and we have had about a couple of days of heavy downfall ; but still, with a high range of temperature for the time of year the benefit to the country must be great, as seldom has such dry summer-like weather been experienced at this season." From Northumberland advices run—" The weather continued fine up to Sunday afternoon; since then it has been very wet; wind varying from south-west to south .east." From Lancashire it -was stated—" The long-continued drought has at length been relieved by a plentiful fall of rain last night, and the barometer this morn ing has receded to a point indicative of more wet. The drought has naturally affected the production of flour in France, by the stopp a g e of many mills de pendent on water power." From Suffolk, on the coast the advices say—" Since our last we have had some heavy rain, which was greatly needed." In Scotland the weather broke on Sunday last, since when there has been rain and wind.o throughout All accounts the n agree legt h in a t n h d e great activity going n breadth of the land with autumnal tillage, and some fine samples of white wheats have been secured, with those from Scotland in the best order. The red straw white and Chidham from the Lothians are very fine; rough chaff qualities are to be met with in England, and very select red nursery, and occa- _, sionally a prime lot of golden drop. Friday and Saturday were fine days, with a much lower tem perature, on . the latter day down to 56 degrees ; barometer much higher, up to 29.80 inches, with the wind variable, almost all round the compass, always s•n indication of rain, and at 8 p.m. there was a return of wet. On the whole, during last week, a large extent of land was ploughed, and a good deal of wheat got into the ground most favor ably. The weather now will be suitable for the maltsters, who will want a greater supply of barley, and they must pay full prices for the best qualities. Other sorts may go for grinding purposes, but the present low rates for these arc far from being re munerative.—MClrk-Lanc E.tpress of yesterday. THE CHOLERA IN MALTA. VALETTA, Oct. 11. that will the e s e e e i n to l f e r r o a m s t t l l e l a lt e ng o e n r i s p a a n t y n i o n n g g d u a s i yp pro re ports lt bably owing in some degree to a return of very sultry and oppressive weather. The cases continue to be almost entirely confined to the poorest villages. Indeed, the epidemic may be said throughout the present visitation to have spared the wealthier classes. The alarm which its advent at first created has long since subsided, and many persons who took the opportunity of travelling on the Conti nent are returning to Malta. It is only justice to say, however, that we have witnessed none Thereoning their have e i of those scenes of blind panic which ap bpeeeanr tono instances ne e s occurredof families elsewhere.abandoning bd 1 cholera-stricken relatives, of officials neglecting their posts, of priests refuring to assist the dying ; and if it has happened that a medical man has shown the white feather, such has by no means been the rule. The Relief Committee, who have sat daily at the Exchange, under the presidentship of an honourable member of Council, deserve great praise, they having by their personal example and influence done much to allay the fears of the popu lation, and, with the funds charitably placed at their disposal, have been enabled by timely medical assist ance and wholesome food to relieve a great amount of distress.

In Gozo the decline during the same period has been seven attacks and four deaths. I have not heard of any fresh cases in the regiments, which after the first rains were removed from their temporary encamp ments into their old quarters. But a soldier of the Bth Regt., in Pembroke Barracks, was attacked the day before yesterday and died in a few hours. Ile was a man of very irregular habits, and was always undergoing some kind of punishment for breaches of military discipline. He had recovered from an attack of cholera some time ago at Gibraltar. The barracks are situated at St. George's Bay, in one of the healthiest spots in the island. The Governor has issued a notice prohibiting the importation of all kinds of cattle, as well as horses and dogs, from the United Kingdom, in consequence of the cattle disease existing there. The same no tice also orders that vi 001, hides, horns, bones, and hoofs coming from Great Britain and Ir eland shall be subjected to sanitary measures for the purpose of disinfection. Clean bills of health are now issued at Alexandria, but gessels are not yet admitted to pratique on account of cholera still existing at Cairo. The Cattle Plague. -...- WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. Yesterday the Michaelmas Quarter Sessions for the West Riding began in the Town-hall, Leeds, Mr. Wickham, M.P., presiding. A letter was read from Mr. T. G. Baring, of the Home-office, dated Oct. 12, in which that gentleman said he was directed by Secretary . Sir George Grey to inform the inagis ,..mes that it has oceuliuu. 41..6 it might be desirable that the attention of the justices of the West Riding should be directed at these quarter sessions to the order of the Lords of the Privy Council of the 22d ult., with reference to the cattle plague. After reciting the terms of the 19th section of that order, by which, after notice, justices can make it unlawful to bring animals to a market or fair from infected districts, the latter pointed out that the power given therein had already been exer cised in several instances, but it had been repre sented to Sir G. Grey that the advantages to be derived from it would be materially impaired if, while the power was exercised with reference to some markets or fairs, no action was taken with respect to others in the neighbourhood. It was clearly desirable that the various local authorities should, as far as possible, act in concert,with a view to the effectual exercise of their power; and Sir G. Grey would be happy to be the means of communica tion, if necessary, between the justices of the West Riding and other local authorities, as defined in the or der, with respect to any proceedings which the justices might think it expedient to take on this subject. As it was obviously important that ample information of any order made for the purpose of preventing ani mals being sent to any market or fair should be given to the public, not only in the immediate neigh bourhood of the market or fair, but also in the dis trict from which the market or fair was supplied, Mr. Baring said he was to suggest that means should be taken for the widest possible circulation of infor mation by means of the chief constable of the county or counties concerned, or otherwise, as the justices might think expedient. No discussion ensued upon the reading of the letter, but the Court directed that a copy of it sL9 uld be forwarded to the clerk of the • however, that according peace to every pot i; sessional division in th e Ridi ng.
