THE CHOLERA. Woo'mica, OCT. 16.—There have been four new cases since twelve o'clock yesterday, making in all thirty-five cases of attack. There has been one death to-day, and the names of those who died of cholera having been returned, it appears that eight have died •of the disease. The following are their names, and - the date of the days on which they died :—Oct. 3d, Owen Vones ; 7th, John Rutherford and James Jones ; Bth, James Efrgwood; 10th, John Debank ; 13th, George Mitchell; 14th, William Eastman; 16, Edward Devine. The number of recoveries are returned five, same as yesterday. No cases, or the least appearance of cholera, have been returned by the medical practitioners in the town and parish of Woolwich up to twelve o'clock to-day, so that the disease is still exclusively confined to the Justitia convict hulk. BIRMINGHAM, OCT. 16.—We regret to state that a decided case of Asiatic cholera is said to have oc curred in this town yesterday. Mr. John Cheetham, a clerk in the bank of Messrs. Attwoods and Spooner, was seised with unequivocal symptoms on Saturday evening, and expired last night. Mr. Cheetham was attended by Dr. Wright, Mr. Chavasse, and Mr. Blake, and no doubt is entertained of the disease being that of Asiatic cholera. The deceased was a healthy person, of regular habits, and resided in •eorge-street, Eclgbaston, which is considered to be a very healthy part of the town. The cholera, we are well pleased to state, does not make much progress in this country. It has arrived late in the yew, and we hope to prove that its fearful energies have been expended in less fortunate climes. It appeared as if the close, damp, oppressive weather which hung over us many days at the commence ment of this month was the cholera blight; for since the air has become more brisk and open the disease seems to have been checked. We are desirous of preventing our readers from experiencing any unne cessary alarm on bhis subject, therefore we have forborne to occupy our columns with the numerous F peculations, nostrums, and rumours thereupon which are going the round of the papers. We believe that very few more instances of the disease will be heard of. Even where it has presented the most fatal aspects, the deaths, though exhibit ing a large proportion to the cases, have shown but a small one in relation to the population. In Edinburgh, for instance, where of 30 attacked 25 died, those who fell victims are described as " all persons already broken down by hunger and dissi pation, the very class who form the ready victims of disease." In Hull a few persons continue occa sionlly to drop off, principally in the vessels trading to Hamburgh, where they appear to obtain the seeds of the cholera epidemic, which on the voyage or soon after their arrival break out fatally. On board of the steamer Rob Roy, which arrived at Hull yester day, the stewardess died on the passage. In London comparatively few cases have occurred. No case has yet been reported in Glasgow or Liverpool, and we have every hope that the disease will die out with the present cold weather, and that the towns on the western coast will escape the infliction.—Liverpool Albion. We are happy to state that there has been a marked decrease in the number of cholera cases towards the end of last week. Four cases -which occurred on Wednesday were reported on Thursday, the localities in which they occurred being Canongate, West Port, and Newhaven ; three of these proved fatal within ten hours. On Thursday there wero only two cases ascertained, both of which restAted fatally; one was a man residing in the West Port, the other man a patient in the Royal Infirmary. On Friday we understand that three cases occurred, all of which terminated in death • two of the victims resided its the Canongate, th e other one in the Gra:market. On Saturday there was only one cue, that of a woman living in the last named locality, and who Is now convalescent. Yesterday a man residing in Gladstorte's-close, Canongate, died of cholera, and in the evening a woman from the same close, who had caught the epidemic, was carried to the Infirmary. The great mortality among the cases reported cannot but be remarked, but when the condition of the loca lities is considered, as well as the circumstance that several mild cases may have occurred which have been treated privately, and have not terminated fatally, it will occasion less surprise. In Leith cholera is said to have brokea out on the 9th inst., and we are sorry to hear that eight or ten fatal cases have oc curred there, chiefly about the foot of the Kirkgate. In the meantime the authorities of the city are active, and a meeting of the Local Board of Health took place on Friday in the Council Chamber, but the re sult of their deliberations was not made public.— adedonian Mercury of yesterday. The CrtoLaaA.- 2 :-There are still some cases of cholera occurring here, but their number seems to be gradually OR the decrease. On Wednesday there were four cases; but stnce that time there have beeen only two. It is calculated that about thirty-six cases, in all, have occurred in Edinburgh; and of these, about thirty have terminated fatally. In Leith, we are sorry to say, that the epidemic appears to be spreading. It first brol:e out there on the 9th in.tant; and it is re p.-mted that, altogether, about a dozen cases have oc ,urred, and of such a bad typo, that most of the indi viduals seized have died after a few hours' illness. In the neighbouring village of Newhaven the disease is also progressing. It is stated that sixteen cases, and eleven deaths, occurred up till yesterday atternoon.—Scotsmun. QUARANTINE IN ENGLAND. . The notification of the British Privy Council of the sth instant, enforcing the performance of six days' quarantine by all steam-vessels coming from ports where the cholera is prevalent, is a measure which must excite general and just surprise. We are not here alluding to the special and partly severe regulations of the edict, but to the entire arrange ments of the same, which, indeed, will not reflect additional credit to the often lauded praise of the' " practical" mind of England, which does not seldom regard the doings and acting of the European continent with special disdain. All the countries of the European continent, with only the exception of Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, have become con vinced by experience of the inutility of cholera quarantines, and in their sanitary regulations have most carefully guarded themselves against the fresh introduction of vexatious obstructions to traffic, by which both commerce and industry have so mate riallysuffered, at the time of the former outbreak of cho lera some fifteen or sixteen years past. England alone is disposed to disregard most glaringly her own in terest and that of the different nations with which she stands connected by her commerce, and thus considers it necessary again to call into existence measures long since acknowledged as useless to the purpose, and merely suggested through blind and ignorant fear. And that at a time, too, when it is thought an un necessary hardship to enforce quarantine against the plague t and in spite of the daily increasing number of voices raised against the same in the British Par liament. Besides, it must be observed that the cholera quarantine, pursuant to the notification of the Privy Council on the 6th instant, is no longer applicable to carry out its pretended object, namely, to prevent the invasion of the disease •i for it is a notorious fact that the cholera has already broken out in different parts of England as well as Scotland; consequently any furthei precautions or preparations directed towards foreign parts must prove worthless, even if the theory of immediate contagion were admitted. However, wt :do not doubt, ere long, it will be evi dent that the cholera quarantine is, in every sense, an untenable measure, and that the British Govern ment, when instructed by numerous complaints of the unnecessary and tiresome impediments to com merce caused by its strictly observing an almost uni versally abandoned system, will speedily remedy the evil, by the withdrawal of the order issued by the Privy Council on the sth instant.—[We quote the above from a Hamburgh paper, and, for the sake of our commerce with the northern:ports, we trust that the Privy Council may be induced to reconsider the subject. The General Steam Navigation Com pany have appealed to the Sanitary Board respecting the hardship inflicted on them by the order in coun cil, as to ships from Hamburgh being subject to six days' quarantine, making at least four days from their arrival in the Thames.] MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—OH Saturday, the neighbourhood of Neath was thrown into a state of much excitement, in consequence of the following distressing incident. It appeared that a daughter of Mr. Tamplin, a publican, residing a short distance from Neath, acci dentally fell into the canal, which was near the house, whilst playing with her younger brother. The little fellow lost no time in giving the alarm, which was heard by the canther, who repaired to the spot and immediately jumped into the canal. After considerable effort, she succeeded in getting her child into her arms no less than three times. notwithstanding which her attempts to save it proved fruitless. The deceased in her dying struggles proved too strong for the mother, and her foot slipping, both got into deep w a t er near ly ou t o f s i g ht. A man having seen the desperate position of the mother, gal lantly plunged in, when he too nearly lost his life, in consequence of the powerful grasp of Mrs. Tamplin, who pulled him under water. Another man being for tunately at hand, and seeing the state of matters, jumped in and ultimately succeeded in rescuing the other man and the mother, hnt the daughter by this time had dis appeared. Mrs. Tamplin was carried to her house in sensible, and, when brought to herself, found, to her inexpressible grief, her child was gone for ever. The bony was recovered in about a quarter of an hour after wards. The deceased was nearly seven years of age, and was universally beloved, being a very amiable and interesting child.—Cambrian. SCOTTISH CENTRAL RAILWAY. —The details of the arrangements for leasing the undertaking to the southern companies are now finally concluded, and the agreement has been signed by the chairman and other officials of the companies interested therein. The Scottish Central is now guaranteed in perpetuity seven per cent. and half surplus profits by the Edinburgh and Glasgow, Cale donian, Lancaster and Carlisle, and London and North- Weate"rin at *tact rate it will yield to purchasers at present priced a minimum return of 71. 18s. per cent.— Aberclem Herald. TILE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1848. PROPERTY OF LOUIS PHILIPPE. On Friday the s eport of M. Berryer, in the name 1 of the Committee of Finances, on the proposition of M. Jules Favre, to declare that all the property com posing the private domain of Louis Philippe should be taken by the State, was distributed to the Assem bly. After some preliminary observations, and after setting forth M. Favre's proposition in detail, the report states that the Provisional Government had decreed that the real and personal property called biens de la liste civile should return to the State ; that the properties known as biens du domains prive should be placed under sequestration ; and that the real and personaliproperties of all the members of the ex-Royal Family should also be sequestrated. The Committee then proceeds to say that the proposition of M. J. Fevre is of a different character, and would have dif ferent effect to the acts of the Provisional Government. M. J. Favre had laid down that the deed of 7th Aug., 1830, by which Louis Philippe, before formally ac cepting the crown, made over all his private property in France to his children, reserving only a life in terest, ought to be considered " null, of no effect, and as stained with fraud," the object of it being to prevent the legal union of the properties of the Duke d'Orleans to the domain of the crown, in conformity with the old principles of the law. But the Committee shows that the properties constituting the apanage of the Duke d'Orleans were made over to the State on 9th August, 1830; and as to the private patrimonial possessions of the house of Or leans, the Committee declares that though it was the principle of the old monarchy that the private proper ties of the king should go to the State, that principle could not be maintained when an entirely new state of things was established in 1830; and it further shows that a law of 1832 specially enacted that the king should preserve, or dispose of as he pleased, the pro perties which belonged to him on his accession to the throne. The permission to him to retain these proper ties was, the Committee observes, subsequently urged as a reason for refusing dotations to his younger sons and daughters. The Committee declares that, even without the law of 1832, Louis Philippe was justified in making over his property to his children by the deed of 7th August, 1830. " Until (it says) the day on which he accepted the revocable compact between him and the Chamber of Deputies, the Prince, as proprietor, was only subjected, like all French citi zens, to the rules of the common law. He ascended the throne on the faith of the validity of the act which he was able to make in favour of his children. The events which have caused him to descend from it, and which exiled his family, justify all the provisions of the donation." The Committee then adds :—" Far from seeking under present circumstances an oppor tunity of annulling such an act, justice, good faith, national dignity ought to surround it with more severe respect. Henceforth the holders of the patrimonial properties of the house of Orleans cannot be dispos sessed of them without a manifest violation of the contract; to declare these properties acquired to the State would be consecrating a violent en croachment on the right of property, would be pronouncing an arbitrary confiscation." The report, after branding in strong terms the idea of confiscation, proceeds to state the se cond part of M. Favre's proposition, that a com mission shall be nominated to superintend the liqui dation of the debts of the private domain. It says that such a commission already exists, and that the law enacts that the debt of the Civil List must be paid out of the private domain. As to the proposition that the princes of the house of Orleans shall be constrained to sell within six months the real properties they possess in France, the Committee thinks it unnecessary and impolitic. " The seques tration of these properties," it says, " appears to us to present for public tranquillity greater security than the conversion of such vast domains into disposable capital." On the whole, then, the Committee recom mends that M. Jules Favre's proposition shall not be taken into consideration. But the Committee recom mends that a law shall be passed regularising the se questration, and authorising, for the liquidation of the debts, that sales and loans on mortgage shall be effected. It announces that all the members of the house of Orleans to whom the properties were made over by the act of the 7th of August, 1230, have consented, by regularly-executed deeds, to a general and special mortgage on such properties, in order to secure the payments of the debts of all kinds owing by their father. The Committee states that the debts of the Civil List are 30,000,000 f., and that the Treasury is creditor for 25,000,000 f. more. To meet these, the properties of the private domain, which even in these times cannot be estimated at less than 100,000,000 f. in value, present a sufficient security. But, as the revenues of them are merely sufficient to pay the in terest of the debts, capital must be raised by sales or mortgage. The revenues are put down at 4,900,000 f. of which 3,200,000 f. to the private domain, 200,000 f. to the properties of the Queen, 1,500,0001. to those of the late Maclaine Adelaide, the outglings for administration, repairs, assurance, taxes, &c., are represented to amount to 1,900,000 f. ; leaving a clear income of 3,000,000 f. The Commit tee recommends that, as the real properties afford sufficient security for the payments of the debts, the personal properties of all kinds and the properties disposed of in marriage settlements shall be imme diately given up to the princes of the house of Orleans ; and that, until the completion of the liqui dation, the Council of Ministers shall fix an amount to be paid from the sequestrated properties to each of the proprietors. "We have thought," says the Com mittee in conclusion, " that it would be contrary to the dignity and generosity of France to impose other sufferings and other miseries on those who must feel so much at being proscribed from the territory of the Republic, or of leaving foreign states to offer the homage of their assistance to a family which for nearly twenty years had the honour of governing our country and commanding our army and our fleets." HORRIBLE CIRCUMSTANCE. —On Saturday last a woman from the neighbourhood of the Windy Gap elec toral division of Addaergole, stated at our office that a man in her neighbourhood (her own brother-in-law) had made away with his two children (by his first wife), a boy, aged fourteen, and a girl, eleven years, and buried them in a field or skirt of a bog, where the bodies were afterwards found by the neighbours, covered with heather and earth. Our foreman instantly brought the woman before Sergeant Conroy, of the constabulary, and Mr. R. Gallaher, clerk of petty sessions, where she made the following statement: The father, step mother, a- d children were in the poor-house, from which they were sent out upon the out-door relief; that the step-mother swore the children should not live with her, nor be partakers of the food allowed by the union; that the children had to go away beggim; ; that they returned to the father's house on Sunday, the 4th instant, when the wile swore a horrible oath that beneath her roof they shoul.l not sleep, and the father insisted they should remain that night; the children related those facts to their aunt, who told them to sleep in the house, as it was their father's wish. She never saw them again alive; and next day the father was seen, with some bulk in a bag, and a spade under his artn, going in the direction of where the bodies were found. On the fol lowing Thursday er Friday, a man and woman were ob served by the villagers—the man carrying a bulk in a bag—going to the same spot. The man and woman then left the neighbourhood, and went to another part of the union, where the woman's relatives reside. Policemen were instantly dispatched to the place, and there the bodies were found by them as described by the woman. On the same evening the father wart arrested, and on Sunday he was brought before Dr. Dillon for examination, and finally was set at liberty. No inquest had been held that we can hear of—nor were there any of the villagers confronted with the accused.—Castlebar Telegraph. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—On Saturday afternoon, the ten minutes past eleven A.M. train from Edinburgh, of the Northern Railway, which reaches Ferry-Port-on- Craig at twenty-four minutes past one, struck the wooden barricade at the extreme end of the platform, at the latter place when a concussion was felt over the carriages, and the passengers were pitched with consi derable violence against each other. The shock seems to have been felt most severely amongst the second class carriages, all the passengers in the first and third classes having escaped with little or no injury. So far as we have been able to discover, the parties hurt are—Mr. Smart, Montrose, and his servant, both bruised; Joseph Robertson, sailor, Dundee, cut on the head; Mrs. Fra ser, from St. Andrew, and a gentleman from the same place, both cut about the temples; Mr. Shand, W.S., Edinburgh, presently residing in Ferry-Port-on-Craig, cut on the temple. These, with one or two other trifling cases, seem the only instances of suffering. Dr. Laing fortunately happened to be near the platform when the accident took place, and three of the passengers were carried to his house, and had their wounds dressed. The Dundee and Broughty Ferry boats, waiting the train, continued their trips without stopping, and one of them returned in about twenty minutes afterwards for the pas sengers and luggage left, when the parties for the north were all able to embark. The accident is supposed to have originated from the engine going at too great a speed, a miscalculation of the distance when it should have been checked, but principally from the wet on the rails, making the break have less power over it. The driver, stoker, and (the parties in charge of the train) are all reported to have been steady and cautious men.— Aberdeen Herald. ROMAN REMAINS AT CHESTERTORD.—The Hon. R. C. Neville having, by the kind permission of Mr. Edwards, commenced excavating that interesting por tion of the Borough-field described by Stukely as en closing the remains of the " Temple Umbra," has in vestigated accurately the plan laid down by that cele brated antiquary ; the result of which proves the incor rectness of his statements, the remains being decidedly those of a dwelling-house rather than a temple. We take this opportunity of acquainting our readers with a fact which may not be generally known, that there are at present the foundations of no less than three Roman buildings within the space of a mile, which have been lately excavated by Mr. Neville, open to public inspec tion—namely, a dwelling-house and temple in the parish of Ickleton, and a dwelling-house in the parish of Great Chesterford. ROI3I3ENT AT THE EICHE@UER• OFFICE. - The Exchequer-office, Lincoln's-inn, was entered after the termination of business on Saturday, and plundered of a quantity of gold and silver, the thieves getting clear away with their booty.

The new Ministers would inquire into all social sufferings, and the remedy of those evils would be the incessant object of their solicitude and en deavours. He regretted to say that the very name of Republic inspired fear and distrust, in consequence of the recollections of another period, and the apprehen sions of a return to a system which wag now out of the question. This was the real cause of the distrust, by inspiring doubts for the future, and the country hesi tated to trust in a Government which did not afford it every security. These apprehensions, sincere and fatal, constituted the weakness of the present Govern ment. The new Ministers should, by every means, com bat those apprehensions, and endeavour to demonstrate to the people that the Republic was not an agitated state of society and the revolution en permanency. They would labour to seat it on the solid basis of liberty, society, family, and property. The country no longer thought of monarchy, but it knew that, without the fulfilment of those conditions, no Govern ment could endure. It recollected that fifty years ago, France threw herself into the arms of military despo tism from a horror of anarchy. The Cabinet would strive to put a period to all disorders and to re• alize principles so wisely proclaimed, which ensured inviolability to the humblest citizens, under the pro tecting aegis of the Republic. The future destinies of Europe depended on the restoration of order and tranquillity in France. The cause of liberty and ci vilization were also at stake. The Ministers would endeavour to realise those objects; their acts should ever tend to that end, and they should be constantly animated by a profound love of the Republic. They, however, hoped toat the Assembly should grant them a support and confidence, without which power would expire in their hands." on the part of dealers little desire is manifested to make sales, prices are in consequence rather lower for Gunpowder and fine Hyson.. The public sales of 8,900 pkgs went off flatly, and only 2,500 found buyers. For public auction on Wednesday 16,000 pkgs are declared.

TALLOW.—There are sellers of Russian on the spot at a further reduction, still on the part of the trade little desire is manifested to make purchases, 44s 9d to 45s is the worth of fine new V. Y.

Tan WEATHEIL.—This week the weather has been generally favourable for securing the remainder of the grain harvest in the uplands. Our mornings are ushered in by mists, which are soon chased away by the sun's rays. On Tuesday night we had a glorious harvest moon, and in several parishes the creaking of the wains from the field to the farm-yard were heard till long after midnight. Our accounts as to the quantity and bulk of the crops are still of an agreeable character. Turnips have improved vastly from the late open weather, the best proof of which will be found in the brisk demand for sheep at the Falkirk Tryst this week. Potatoes are abundantly sup plied in our market at from sd. to 7d. per stone—the former indifferent in quality ; the latter excellent. We hoar little or nothing of the progress of the disease in the country, which we take to be equivalent to good tidings. —Scotch Reformers' Gazette. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

It will be recollected that on the 12th of last month a highly respectable clergyman of the Established Church, the vicar of an extensive parish in the county of Kent, was brought i❑ custody to this court, and placed at the bar, on the charge of passing a counter feit half-crown to an omnibus conductor, in whose vehicle he had been a passenger from Oxford -street to the Walworth- road ; and that, upon an investigation of the charge, it appeared perfectly conclusive that the Rev. Gentleman, if he gave the half-crown ob jected to at all, was perfectly ignorant of its being a bad one. On that occasion Mr. Norton complimented the Rev. Gentleman for the spirit and determination evinced by him in resisting what he conceived to be a gross attempt at imposition, and expressed his deep regret that a gentleman in his position should have been put to such an inconvenience, and treated as he had been. On the following day Mr. Norton received a letter from Mr. Peterson, the barrister, on the sub ject, which, on reading, he deemed to be of such im portance that he immediately wrote to that gentle man, requesting his sanction to publish it. Mr. Peterson having left town for the continent on the morning after he had written, his answer to Mr. Nor ton's note had not reached the hands of Mr. Norton until a few days ago, and in that answer he gave his full permission to the publication of his former letter, which was as follows : " 1, Essex-court, Temple, Sept. 13. "Sir,—Excuse the liberty I take in addressing you, but in the police reports of this day's papers I see a case of a clergyman charged with passing a bad half-crown to an omnibus conductor; charges of this sort are by no means uncommon, but very few of the parties have either the courage or spare time neces sary to follow the charge. In my own case, not very 1 long since, I gave a conductor a shilling, I got my sixpence back, and was walking leisurely away, whe❑ I was collared by the conductor and charged with passing a pad shilling, which was tendered to me. On declining to give another one, a mob soon gathered and I had the satisfaction of being roughly handled, and was glad to give another shilling, at the same time insisting upon the number of the conductor, which he prevented me from getting, and ran away to his omnibus. The crowd, however, did not leave me until, by good luck, the son of a respectable tradesman in the street recognised me, and freed me from the mob. Now, in the first place, even supposing the coin was bad, the treatment I was subjected to was very unpleasant and wrong ; yet, as the coin I gave was good, and in ninety cases out of one hun dred, when the charges are made, the passenger has given good coin, how hard it is to be duped by a vagabond conductor, passing off his own bad coin, and at the same time having you locked up for a whole night on the charge. In my case the coin tendered was good, having no other money in my pocket but what I had drawn from my banker's, in Bond-street, about ten minutes before I entered the omnibus. Now my object in writing this, is to suggest that in cases of charges like this, the police should have orders to search the complainant, and see what coin he has on his person, and they will most probably find some base coin. Ooe conductor of an omnibus is at this time undergoing hit, punishment • for passing bad coin in change to the passengers, and he admitted that he had made on an average some thing like fifty shillings a week by the trade. Hoping you will excuse the liberty I have taken in making the above suggestion, " I have the honour to remain yours, obediently, " A. T. T. PETERSON. "Hon. G. C. Norton, Lambeth Police-court." WORSHIP-STREET. Sarah Smith, a young woman with a infant in her arms, was placed at the bar be - ibre Mr. Hammill, charged with having been found engaged in the ma nufacture of counterfeit coin. Sergeant Brannan, of the G division, stated that between five and six o'clock on Saturday evening he proceeded with Sergeant Dubois, and four constables, to the house, No. 5, Nelson-place Hackney-road, in pursuance of instructions from the authorities of the Mint, who had received information that the premises were occupied by a notorious gang of coiners. Find ing the street-door secured on the inside, they in stantly burst it open, and hastily entered a lower room, where they found the prisoner seated at a table giving the final polish with a hard brush to a base shilling, to render it fit for circulation. They immediately secured the coin, together with two others which were lying upon the table ; and the prisoner at the same time dashed over a cup contain ing a powerful acid in solution, a portion of which they also succeeded in securing. Upon further search the officer found secreted in the back kitchen a complete galvanic battery, which had evidently been recently in operation for electro-plating coins, and a jar connected with which containing a solution of the same description as that the prisoner had attempted to destroy. They discovered a quantity of base metal, a strong knife encrusted with plaster of Paris, and other implements and ma terials used in the fabrication of spurious money. The whole of the articles seised were conveyed with the prisoner to the station-house, and witness h a d been since directed by the Mint solicitor to apply for a remand, to enable him to attend and prosecute the case against her. The prisoner, who was recognised as having been repeatedly in custody for offering counterfeit coin, declined offering any defence, and was ordered to be brought up again for the completion of the evidence. Mrs. Jane Randal, a cowkeeper in Sebright-street, Bethnal-green, was summoned for keeping a large number of pigs upon her premises, and thereby causing a nuisance prejudicial to the health of the in habitants. It appeared that the nuisance in question had ex isted for a considerable time past, in a yard at the rear of the defendant's residence, and in the centre of a cluster of houses, densely occupied by poor weavers and their families, whose repeated com plaints of the mischief and annoyance occasioned by the noxious effluvium arising from the place having been altogether disregarded by the defendant, the subject was brought under the notice of the Police Commissioners, who directed the present proceedings to be taken. The defendant's daughter, who attended on behalf of her mother, denied having been cautioned that they were acting in violation of the law, and prayed for sufficient time to abate the nuisance. Mr. HAMMILL, however, said that at a time when fatal epidemics, most of which were engendered by nuisances similar to the present, were impending over the metropolis, it was the imperative duty of those in authority to take the most active measures for their immediate suppression, and he should therefore only adjourn the summons until Wednesday, when, if the cause of complaint should still continue, he should visit the defendant with the highest penalty imposed by the Act under which the proceedings were in stituted. In the course of the afternoon a gentleman, wbo was understood to be attached to the City Mission, addressed the magistrate, and stated that he was de puted by Mr. Jackson, of that institution, to attend for the purpose of refunding to the poor•box the amount contributed towards the temporary ' relief of Anne and Emma Lofinck, the emigrants wives, whose case has been so frequently brought before the public. In answer to a question from the magistrate, the gentleman briefly intimated that a passage had been taken for the conveyance of the women, with their children, to their husbands at New York, and that they would sail in the Panama emigrant ship on the following day. Mr. HAMMILL expressed his gratification that such a proper course had been adopted, and the gentle man having handed over the money, about 305., left the court. Mition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock.

On the sth instant, being the anniversary of the King's birthday, and the period fixed for the general election of the states of the kingdom, his Majesty received the representatives in the palace of Chris tianburg, and was addressed by the President in a speech from which we quote the following pas sage : " The Danish people will be always ready to make every sacrifice that may be required for the defence of the boundaries of the country and the honour of the nation. They will recollect with the most lively gratitude that the promise of a free constitution was made by the King, motu proprie, immediately after his accession, whilst, in other countries, such conces sions were only extorted from Princes by popular insurrections." The King expressed his satisfaction at these as surances in appropriate terms, and renewed his pro mise to base the strength of his kingdom on the love of his people. In the evening a general illumination took place, and the King paraded the streets on horse back amid the acclamations of his subjects. _ _ The result of the elections has been favourable to the Ministry, which is composed of members of the democratic party. The States are to be opened on the 23d inst., at Copenhagen. ITALY. The Piedmentese Gazette, of the 12th instant, an nounces that Baron Hector Perrone de San Mar tino, Minister for Foreign Affairs, had been ap pointed President of the Council, in the place of the Marquis Alfieri de Sostegno, whose resignation had been accepted. Another decree of King Charles Albert revoked the extraordinary powers conferred on General Durando on the 6th ult., the causes which had rendered that measure necessary having ceased to exist. The King reviewed on the 11th the gar rison of Turin, composed of 10,000 men, and was received with the greatest enthusiasm by the troops and population. The National Congress of the Italian League met at Turin on the 11th, under the presidency of M. Mamian, and divided itself into three sections—political, economical, and military. Count Cabrio Cassati was elected chairman of the first section ; P. Sterbini, of the second ; and General Racchia of the third. The Congress afterwards pro ceeded to admit the Neapolitan members, Spaventa, Massaria, and Leopardi, and the Roman members, Sterbini and Pino. The Tuscan Professor Giorgini had not arrived.

(From the London New Price Current of Oct. 17.) SUGAR.—To-day merchants were anxious to sell raw Sugar, and for almost every sort a further decline in the value took place; there was also a large quant it y pressed upon the market. In conseqence of a reduction on former rates of Gd per cwt havin g been submitted to for West India Muscovado, a good business was concluded, and the purchases amounted to 500 hhds and tierces, including a public sale of 158 hhds Barbadoes, which went off heavily—fine yellow at 41s, good 37s 6d to 395, mid 36s to 375, low 35s 6d, very ord 34s 6d ; 36 hhds, 48 trcs, 55 brls Jamaica, low yellow 35s to 35s 6d, mid 36s to 36s 6d, good 37s ; 121 hhds Trinidad, middling yellow taken in at 34s 6d to 355, low 33s 6d to 34s ; 113 hhd s SO barrels Berbice, ord yellow 34s to 34s 6d, and good brown 33s per cwt. REFINIM.—To-day Refined Goods were dealt in with caution for home-trade purposes , and prices are further reduced—brown melting lumps selling at 47s to 47s 6d, and standard lumps 48s 6d per cwt. The market for Bonded Crushed Sugar is firm at 26s to 26s 6d; there is also a good demand. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the trade manifested little desire to make purchases in Mauritius Sugar, and 4,195 bags at auction went Gd per cwt cheaper, whilst not above one-half sold; fine yellow 38s 6d to 40s, good 37s to 38s, middling 35s 6d to 36s 6d, low 345 to 355, ordinary brown 28s 6d, low to good grey 34s to 36s 6d, and out of condition 27s 6d to 38s Gd. EAST INDIA.—This afterdoon little disposition shown to do business in Bengal Sugar ; at the public sales which comprised 1,500 bags, and a part only sold at about th e f orme r w orth --good yellow like Mauritius at 38s, fine 39s to 395 Gd, and damp and washed 36s 6d to 395, fine strong white 43s 6d, and washed 435. Madras is not much wanted ; 2,300 bags were withdrawn. FOREIGN.--Today there was little passing in Foreign Sugar by private treaty, and 2,218 pkgs Santa Martha at public sale went at about the former value—damp yellow 34s 6d to 40s, washed 23s 6d to 36s 6d, white 42s 9d to 43s per cwt. COFFEE.—This afternoon there was little activity in I the Plantation Ceylon Coffee market ; and at public sale 178 csks 600 bgs were nearly all taken in at the full value—fine 655, good 54s to 56e, low middling 43s to 455, fine and fine fine ordinary 30s to 39s Gd ; but damaged sold at 27s to 295. Native sells with more freedom, and 2,000 bags at auction went at stiffer rates—good and real good ordinary 270 to 28s, very superior yellow 39s to 29s 6d. Mocha finds a dull sale ; and 220 bales were taken in at 481 for middling yellow. COCOA.—Of West India there is a plentiful supply, and on the part of the trade little desire is shown to do business. At public sale, a small part only of 867 bags Trinidad found buyers—low to fine red at 39s to 44s` and grey 88s to 40s; 34 bags St. Lucia 38s to 40s, and 54 bags St. Vlncents 37s per cwt. For Foreign the market is in a dull state, and prices tend downwards. Ms.—Prices are still supported for Black, still the demand has been limited, and a larger quantity is pres sing upon the attention of the trade. The value of ord and good ord Congou is 7d to Sid. With Green the rouriwt continues to be well supplied, and TIIAME S. Mr. George Wickes, a cow-keeper, in Mill-yard, Whitechapel, appeared before Mr. Yardley to answer a complaint made by Brown, the beadle of White chapel, by order of the trustees acting under the local Act, for suffering an accumulation of dung, manure, offal, and filth on his' premises, detrimental to the health of the persons living in the immediate neighbourhood. Mr. Henderson, solicitor, appeared on the part of the trustees. This was a proceeding under the Act for the more speedy removal of certain nuisances, and the preven tion of contagious and epidemic diseases, the 11th and 12th of Vic., cap. 123. A plan of the premises was put in, from which it appeared that Wickes occupied one of the arches of the Blackwell Railway, on the eastern side of Mill-yard, and in this limited space kept 17 cows and six horses. Swine were also oc casionally kept in the same place, which had been visited by the parish officers, by the Committee of Health,' and others, who were of opinion it was a nuisance, and prejudicial to the health of the in habitants. Mr. W. H. Black, one of the keepers of the public records, and minister of a chapel in Mill-yard, which has existed MS years, said he had an official resi dence adjoining the chapel and immediately conti guous to the nuisance, which he described as most intolerable, and constantly emitting a most noxious and disgusting effluvia. He was unable to open the front door and the windows looking south without being annoyed by a most dreadful and overpowering stench. There was a great accumulation of cow dung and filth• of every description on the premises. There were no styes in the yard or arch, and the pigs were suffered to roam about the place, which increased the nuisance. Liquid matter of a most offensive descrip tion was constantly oozing through a defective wall into the yard behind a small house, occupied by a person named Macdonald, where fever now existed. The cow-yard was unpaved, and it was a cotnnlete swamp of fetid matter. The drainage was also ex ceedingly defective. Mr. Black concluded a long description of the evil by declaring that it was a complication of nuisances quite intolerable, and ought not to exist in a close neighbourhood amidst human habitations. Mr. YARDLEY asked Mr. Black whether the refuse of the animals was removed daily, or allowed to accumulate. Mr. Black replied that the matter accumulated for several days, and was allowed to ferment. When he came home in the afternoon he was fre quently so overcome by nausea as to be unable to eat his dinner. Mr. YARDLEY said he should pause a long time before he came to a conclusion that the keeping cows and horses was to be prohibited within the bills of mortality; but the defendant's cowyard might cease to be a nuisance without having to abandon his business, and the first step was to remove the offensive matter daily, and prevent fermentation. The defendant said he was anxious to do everything to accommodate his neighbours, and would obey any reasonable order of the magistrate. Mr. - YARDLEY said this was not a matter of per sonal accommodation, but a question where the public health was concerned. He must, therefore, insist, in the first instance, that the waste of the cowyard be removed daily, and the yard be washed down. The defendant pleaded hard that he should be allowed every alternate day to remove the offensive matter, but the Magistrate was inexorable. Mr. Straw a trustee and guardian of the parish, said that until the place was paved it would continue to be a nuisance. He also complained that the drain age was defective, and that the liquid manure over flowed and ran down an artificial descent into the street. It was alike disgusting to the smell and the sight. The defendant said there was a hole in the wall separating his place from a neighbour's, and the con tents of a cesspool and the water from a tank was continually running into his yard. He had recently expended 101. in repairing his drain. Mr. YARDLEY said he must pave the) yard and secure good drainage, or he must remove his business elsewhere. Mr. Henderson, who appeared in the double capacity of solicitor and commissioner of paving, said the exhalations from the defendant's premises were absolutely poisonous, and arose principally from the keeping of pigs, than which nothing could be more nauseous in such a crowded locality. He submitted that some steps should be taken to limit the number of animals in such a confined space as one of the railway arches. The atmosphere was tainted by the accumulation of so many animals and 30 much de composed animal matter in such a limited space. The population of the immediate district was so dense that it resembled a rabbit warren. The old notion that a cow-yard in a populous neighbourhood was healthy had long since been exploded. Mr. YARDLEY said he could prevent the defendant keeping swine in the place, but he could not prevent him keeping cows, as long as he removed the offensive matter daily. The defendant said his cow-yard was not unhealthy, and asked the magistrate to look at him. He was the biggest man in the parish, and in capital health, only a little lame.—(Laughter.) One of the defendant's neighbours said the cow yard was not a nuisance, and that he lived opposite to it, and enjoyed good health. The greatest nuisance was tho 'filthy habits of the lower orders of Irish living in Mill-yard znd vicinity. Mr. YARDLEY then made the required order on the defendant, wbo promised to remove all the objections made to his place. Pali.

The following is the programme of the new Ministry, as read from the tribune of the National Assembly yesterday, by M. DUFAUBE : " M. Dufaure, Minister of the Interior, ascended the tribune and presented a project of decree, tending to obtain an additional credit of 100,000 f. for secret service purposes. M. Dufaure said that General Ca vaignac, in virtue of the powers rested in him by the Assembly, bad invested several of its members with the direction of the affairs of the country. It was consequently indispensable that it should know the sentiments which animated the new Ministers, and they had seized that opportunity to ascertain in a solemn manner whether those sentiments were con formable to theirs. It was impossible to conceive two different systems of government. The country had spontaneously proclaimed the Republic, a Govern ment which called every citizen to participate in the government of the country, a noble insti tution, resting on the principle of the sovereignty of the people, and on liberty, equality, and fraternity, proclaimed eighteen centuries age by Christian revelation. None but insane men could disown those principles, and they should be culpable if they attempted to elude them and not carry them into effect. Every man, gifted with any elevation in NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 16.—The Commodore-super intendentship of the Indian navy, vacant by the death of Sir Robert Oliver, is expected to be conferred upon Captain Sir Henry Leeke, K.H. (1826), late of the Queen, 110. The committee appointed by the Admiralty (Captain Horatio Austin, C. 8., of the Blenheim; Mr. Brown, Master-Attendant of this dockyard ; Mr. W. H. Thompson, Master of the Victory ; and Mr. H. C. Allen, Master of the Blenheim) to revise the rigging warrants of the steam fleet sit daily at the Master- Attendant's office in the dockyard. The Hermes steam-vessel, Mr. W. Martin master, sailed to-day for Plymouth, with supernumeraries for, that port. 'Die Bellerophon, 78, Captain R. L. Baynes, C. 8., was to have been paid wages to-day, but her pay-books have not arrived. She is to take a number of disposable boys for the squadron of Vice-Admiral Sir W. Parker, Bart., G.C.8., and guns for the Queen, 110, Captain H. Bruce. The Reynard steam-schooner, Commander P. Cra croft, came into harbour this afternoon by Admiralty order. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Commander H. Dumas resq, is ready for sea, and will sail this evening for Jersey. The Lightning steam-vessel, Petley master, is ordered to Woolwich, and is to bring supernumeraries or anything else needful, from the different eastern ports to this place. In fact, it appears as if the Ad miralty were ashamed of keeping her here so long in a state of utter inactivity. The Grampus, 50, Captain H.B. Martin, will be ready for paying off next Wednesday. Whether she will be paid off or not will depend on the Pay-office or Treasury clerks at Somerset House, who appear to be anything but diligent. Her marines will have to be sent to their division at Woolwich. The Plumper steam-vessel was undocked and taken into the basin to-day, and the Urgent steamer, Lieu tenant A. Mann, docked in her stead. Wind N.E., moderate breezes and cloudy weather. APPOINTMENTS. Mate—J. Edye, to the Impregnable flag-ship, at Devonport. Assistant Surgeons—J. R.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] A DREADFUL ABSCESS UNDER THE CHIN CURED IT HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PlLLS.—Robert Davidson, shoemaker, of An struther, had suffered for more than five years with s very dreadful abscess under his chin. During this time he had been under the care of two surgeons in Anstru ther, and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect of a cure ; in this miserable condition he began to use Holloway's Ointment and Pills, which in the short space of two months soundly healed the wound, and he is now enjoying the best of health. These fine medicines are admirable remedies for King's evil, wounds of all kinds, burns, scalds, piles, fistula, and bearings down.
