The office of surgeon to Guy's Hospital, vacant by the death of Mr. Aston Key, has been filled up by the appointment of Mr. John Hilton. The cholera has almost altogether ceased its ravages itt Salisbury. The board of health assemble now but twice a week. NEWPORT, 1.W., SEPT. 6.—A fire, which at its outbreak appeared likely to prove highly destructive, broke out about three o'clock this morning, in the ex tensive workshops of Mr. Ellis (formerly Lancaster and Ellis), in the centre of this town. The Newport engines were early on the spot, and being full of water soon got to work, but there was a great difficulty in keeping up a supply, though there was plenty of water in the mains. The barrack-engine and a large body of troops were also brought down, but it being circulated that there was a great quantity of gunpowder in the stores, and also a quantity of oil and turpentine, many were deterred from assisting till the former was removed off the premises. BY great exertions, the fire was got under, but not till after the workshops in which it broke out were destroyed; but the shop, stores and stock were saved. We hope that good may come out of evil, and that a better ar rangement may be made with the fire-plugs, as the ne cessity is now seen of getting the water from them into the fire-engines, which was not thought of before. ELOPEMENT OF A WIFE AND SUDDEN DEATH OF HUSBAND.—The inhabitants of Walworth-road h ave lately b een much scandalised by the conduct of 1 1 1, Ira. Bryan, the wife of a respectable tradesman resid ng at N o . 5, near th e El e phant and Castle, who has be en for some ti me past openly carrying on an intrigue . a 3 oath named Ward, whom her husband ha d taken ~,1 1! 0 the Ilona) from motives of charity. A week a g o r d Was observed by the police blowing a railway Onal whistle under the windows, and shortly afterwards / / ,,Piok up something thrown out to him and walk away. vvas taken into custody, and three purses with money feared found upon him.

At length, on Saturday night last, Mrs. tt jah absc on d e d w ith 601., th e property of her husband, an d neither s h e nor W ar d h ave s ince been heard of. The T st melancholy pzrt of the tale remains to be told. On ne a daY afttreoon Mr. Bryan was seized with cholera, notwithstanding the best and most skilful treatment, .7v;laiired a t an early hour on t h e f o ll ow i n g morning. wa u tle the hand of death was on him Mr. Bryan, who torleYr, 1:) e years the senior of h wor his at- ~n to whom he dictated his is if last will e,sent and f a teament, to so disposed of his property that his wife cannot " v eil it. ou t eott TUAMPTON, FRIDAY MORNING.—The Havra °t l market continues dull at late quotations, without f r - 0 1n g in the s li g h test manner a ff ec ted by the late advices in al N ew York. The sales yesterday were 500 bales ; YYorkarticles trad e r a ther brisk. The Argo aid the ori c t l3 °llic both arrived at Havre yesterday from New tiv,l3_,R,latiTON.—Our arrivals continue to increase 1, 1 1 1 - 'Y, and numbers are daily flocking in from London. ~,_,es_to.wn is so situated that the hottest weather is tern 'icerst(ll either by a cooling breeze from the sea, or a re thr° In g current of air from the Downs, which swoops t h, _u_gh the streets, and materially assists in purifying pai.,!Lmosphere and cleansing the town. The late heavy z,:ts, 71 have Gaalso re done much good in that respect. -- w THE SON MAGAZINES, &c.—(CO NTINUED.) L. dra in the d present nuinb,:r of Tait, be true—if the Polish nobles bear the remotest resemblance to Count Stanoiki and his son Casimir, then we are not in the least surprised at the failure of the outbreak of 1845, or at the massacres of the nobles by the serfs. The nobles should have come into court with clean hands, and have commenced their movement by giving to others that which they claimed for themselves—liberty. Any Polish movement to deserve success should begin by a general emancipation of the serfs. The " Modern Vassal" is to be concluded in the next number. Tait this month is rich in tales of travel. The most interesting of these is " There and Back Again," a sentimental journey, by James Augustus St. John. In the present portion of his narrative Mr. St. John takes us over the Simplon to Milan, and thence through Lombardy into Piedmont. He is the most delightful of travelling companions, tells a piquant anecdote with the most exquisite point in the world, and dashes off a sketch of society with the ease and spirit of a Balzac. As a specimen of his descriptive powers, take the following picture of the passage of the Simplon before sunrise : " Never shall I forget that morning. Far in the dis tance behind us the summits of the Bernese Alps, blanched with snow, pierced the sky, while the bright moonlight seemed to repose with pleasure on their cold, glittering peaks. Towards the southwest the sight plunged down a series of deep valleys, partly lighted up by the moon, partly enveloped in shadow, while one solitary lamp from some window, perhaps in Brigg, sparkled like a star among the rocks below. Scattered masses of white, silvery vapour hovered over the distant valleys and lowlands far beneath, and looked like a broken floor, through which the moon's rays penetrated to the earth. Close by the road, chasms, which in the moonlight appeared of prodigious depth, wound along, while rapid torrents, whose white foam was once or twice visible between the dark pines, brawled and roared at the bottom. Here and there, vast conical mountains sprang up from these abysses, and their white heads, clothed with preternatural beauty by the moonlight, at once astonished and delighted the imagination. The stars shone with amazing brightness, and the constella tion of the Great Bear, in particular, seemed to have a brilliance and beauty I had never observed before. But the exquiste beauty of the dawn surpassed everything. The snow-sprinkled peaks of the Alps now seemed to become transparent; while starlight, moonlight, and the pale yellow metallic brilliance of the sky, flushed with the first approaches of the dawn, diffused over every rock, and glen, and stream, and forest, and glacier, a wild, sparkling, mysterious, unearthly beauty, which electrified the very soul. I see lam repeating the same terms again and again; but language, with all its plastic power, is insufficient to render with fidelity the nume rous exquisite emotions which at such times crowd upon the mind. I was certainly for a time literally `wrapt, inspired.' Heaven appeared to touch earth, and Poetry sat enthroned upon the mountains." But it is not alone amusement that may be found in the perusal of this new sentimental journey ; the conversations of the various travellers are replete not with wit only, but with wisdom. What can be more just than the following criticism on Machiavelli:— " Machiavelli,' he replied, was essentially a revolu tionary writer; he despised all the established govern meats of his time, and laboured earnestly to subvert them by propagating those principles of expediency which render men indifferent respecting the means they employ to accomplish their ends; he esteemed liberty the greatest good that men can enjoy, and thought them justified in wading to it through seas of blood. The princes and rulers of his time set no value on human life, which they sacrificed in all ways to gratify their most despicable caprices. He therefore counselled the people to follow their example, and laboured all his hie to undermine the sentiment of respect for greatness which is one of the most fatal weaknesses incident to human nature. To dissipate this feeling, he dwells on the crimes and follies of kings and princes, and seeks to overwhelm them beneath a load of contempt. No man can rise from the perusal of Machiavelli with the same sentiment of loyalty with which he commenced it. His attack is conducted in the most insidious manner, for he often praises what he wishes you to hate; but is careful that his praise should be calculated to provoke your detestation.' " Strange,' interposed Carlotta, that of so great a man's life so little, comparatively, should be known.' " ' Signora,' replied Castrucci, the lives of the greatest men the world has ever produced have been obscure, like his. We see the effects their genius produced, but are unable to measure the productive force; just as, in our own country, we behold a mountain thrown up into the air by volcanic agency, but never perceive the power at work.' " What may be the length of the journey which Mr. St. John contemplates we know not, but if he goes on as he has begun the longer it is the better. Among the works of imagination in the present number of Tait there is one which is quite a literary curiosity ; it is entitled " Tarass Boulba," and is a translation from the Russian of Nicolas Gogol of a tale illus trating the manners of the Zaporog Cossacks. Under the title " The Hungarian and European Wars," Tuit gives a resume of the history of the last eighteen months, which he thus concludes :—" This is the wretched end of an eighteen months' struggle for freedom, and the game might have been better played." Undoubtedly it might, but the end has not arrived yet. "If it was na weel bobbit we'll bob it again." TILE HISTORY OF PENDE NNIS. No. XI. By TV. 111 Thackeray. Pendennis is now regularly engaged on the " Pall Mall Gazette," and the present number of his history is replete with piquant sketches of the purveyors of periodical literature of every grade. The description of the grand dinner given by Bungay, the publisher, to the contributors to the " Pall Mall Gazette," of which he is proprietor and publisher, is one of the best pictures of society that Mr. Thackeray has yet gives us, but it is unfortunately too long to extract. The following could have been written only by one who had himself been behind the scenes : "Considerable success at first attended the new journal. It was generally stated, that an influential political party supported the paper; and great names were cited amongst the . contributors to its columns. Was there any founda tion for these rumours? We are not at liberty to say whether they were well or ill founded; but this much we may divulge, that an article upon foreign policy, which was generally attributed to a Noble Lord, whose con nexion with the Foreign-office is very well known, was in reality composed by Captain Shandon, in the parlour of the Bear and Staff public-house near Whitehall stairs, whither the printer's boy had tracked him, and where a literary ally of his, Mr. Bludyer, had a tem porary residence; and that a series of papers on finance questions, which were universally supposed to be written by a great Statesman of the House of Commons, were in reality composed by Mr. George Warrington of the Upper Temple. That there may have been some deal ings between the Pall Mall Gazette' and this influential party, is very possible. Percy Popjoy (whose father, Lord Falconet, was a member of the party) might be seen not unfrequently ascending the stairs to Warring ton's chambers ; and some information appeared in the paper which gave it a character, and could only be got from very peculiar sources. Several poems, feeble in thought, but loud and vigorous in expression, appeared in the Mall Gazette,' with the signature of P. P.'; and it must be owned that his novel was praised in the new journal in a very outrageous manner." HOME. BY TEE BEY. JOHN YOUNG. (From Eliza Coot's Journal.) " Our home is not where we are, but where we wish ..._ to be. "—DIAMoND DUST. 'Tis Home where the heart is, wh, rever that be, In city, in desert, on mountain,• in dell ; Not the grandeur, the number, the objects we see, But that which we love is the magical spell. 'Tis this gives the cottage a charm and a grace, Which the glare of a palace but rarely has known; It is this, only this, and not station or place, Which gives being to pleasure, which makes it our own. Like the dove on the waters, a rest•place to find, In vain for enjoyment o'er nations we roam; Home only can yield real joy to the mind, And there where the heart is, there only is home. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 3. Her Majesty and the Prince, accompanied by the Princess Royal, the Princess Alice, and Prince Alfred, drove out in a pony. carri age this afternoon. The Prince of Wales, attended by Mr. Birch, rode out on horseback. The Earl of Aberdeen has arrived on a visit to the Queen. SEPT. 4. Her Majesty will hold a Privy Council this afternoon. The Council will he attended by his Royal Highness Prince Albert. Lord John Russell, the Earl of Aber deen, and Earl Grey. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Lord Iligh Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and from the Governor of Gibraltar. Viscount Palmerston returned to town on Wednesday evening. SUDDEN DEATH OF Miss HOBHOUSE.—We regret to state that the above young lady died yesterday, at Erlestoko Park, the seat of Sir John Ifobhouse, alter a very short illness. Sir John had just returned from a tour in the Channel Islands with his family, when Miss flobhouse was suddenly seiz2d with illness, which, un fortunately, ended fatally. DEATH OF COULON THE DANCEIt.—CGUIOD, the well known operatic dancer, died at Paris a few days ago of cholera. WREXHAM THEATRE.—This place of amusement will be opened by Mr. George Owen, the celebrated tragedian, on the Ist of Oct o b er , t h e o p en i ng play being Othello —Othello by Mr. Gt•orge Oven, who has gone to a very heavy expense in newly decorating this beau tiful theatre in a novel manner;. the walls are hung with 300 yards of costly chintz, and tce theatre elegantly beau: ified. AMERICAN IcE —Amongst the late imports into Liverpool, we notice 200 tons of Wenhain Lake Ice, which has b,'en imported by the proprietor of /the Waterloo Hotel. As the stcck of this article on hand was rapidly diminishing, this arrival has come in good time. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS przo-, 1 : T"1! PArt. OF TITIS , os er-seuguiee pessehs suppose," that the new Muriel et" of France, who had laved a great portion of his life out of his own country, and who had sojourned for many years in England and America, would nee the propriety and fitness of abolishing the execrable passport system. But though the Duke of Orleans, subsequently King of the French, must have been well aware of the folly and and futility of the passport system—though he must have been aware how much it interfered with the busi ness avocations, the pleasures, and the free power of locomotion, of Frenchmen and foreigners—though he must have known how little security it afforded to the honest and well-intententioned—and how little calcu lated it was to put a bit or a bridle into tl e mouths of knaves—yet for 18 years he and his various Ministers suffered the execrable, the lying, the fraudulent, aed the exacting system to continue, to the shame and disgrace of France, and to the spoliation and an noyance, not alone of natives, but of all foreigners of all nations. Such a system of fraud—such a means of rising money—such a despotic interference with the liberty of the subjece was well worthy of that Government which raised the budget which in 1829 was fixed for 1830 by the Government of Charles X. at 972 millions of francs, to one millard and a half. The time for delusion, for deceit, and for tric kery, is now past, and it is due to history and to truth to declare that never was there so reckless, so profligate, and expensive a Government in France as that of the ex- King Louis Philippe the First. At the commencement of the present century, and in the most glorious epoch of the Consulate, a budget of 500 millions sufficed. In 18 0 7, in a period of five years, those 500 millions increased only to 720—in 1810 they had risen to 795 millions — and in 1814 and 1815, with all the expenses of a restora tion, of a restored nobility, and of indemnised emigrants, the budget was only 884 millions. In 1822, the year before the expedition of the Duke of Augouleme into Spain, it was 912 millions; and in 1829, the last year of the restoration, it was 972 millions. The revolution of 1830, however—called the best of republics—namely, a monarchy surrounded by republican institutions—greatly increased the public burdens. The lowest budget of the Government of July was that of 1835, which amounted to one milliard twenty-one millions. In the twelve years from 1835 to 1847 the budget of the fallen Government presented a scale of continued and progressive elevation, till at length it attained, as we have already stated, the enormous figure of more than a milliard and a half. The disproportion between income and expenditure—not withstanding all the legerdemain tricks of French finan ciers—must have ended in bankruptcy by 1850, had not bankruptcy been anticipated by a revolution in 1848. Bad, however, as the financial condition of France was, public liberty suffered in a greater degree at the hands of the best of republics. In 1827, 1828, and 1829, though passports existed in France, yet, except in gar rison and frontier towns, they were rarely demanded, and foreigners were under no obligation to take a passe provisoire. But, no sooner had the " best of re publics" been installed in 1830, than this system was altogether changed. Vises and examinations greatly multiplied, and every foreigner was obliged on landing to take a passe provisoire at an expense of two francs. For very many years, we entertain no manner of doubt, that the yearly tribute derived from the English alene, in this respect, amounted to an annual sum of eighty thousand pounds or more, making, from the period of the accession of Louis Philippe down to February, 1848, a sum, in round numbers, amounting to about 1,500,000/. What became of this money, or how it was applied, we have no means of informing our readers. But this we will say, that a more unjust or more iniquitous spoliation was never committed by one civilised government upon the subj , eta of another than the exaction of this money in de tail. The pecuniary sacrifice and expeucliture, however, was by no means the worst feature of the transaction. Most of the per sons who travel abroad are psrsons in the batter classes of life, in very easy circumstances, to whom a sum of one shilling and eightpe rice is of no manner of moment. The pecuniary tax, though a most unjust one, was not, therefore, half so much felt as the unwarrantable inter , feience with one's personal liberty. An Englishman, whether of the highest or of the lowest rank, always felt himself degraded by this passport system. He was obliged to attend himself, or to send a commissioner from his hotel, at the bureau de police of the frontier town at which he landed, and there his signalrnent, or per sonal description, was entered down in a book, and re gistered on the passe provisoire which he obtained. This signabnent, meant for the protection of himself and others, was in ninety-nine cases out of every hundred grossly incorrect. We have seen passports by hundreds, in which men with blue eyes were described as men with grey, in which men with brown hair were de scribed as black haired, and in which men and women of fair complexions were described as basanes, or tawny. We have seen passports in which women of sixty were de scribed as thirty and thirty-five, and men of seventy-two and seventy-five as forty-eight, and fifty. If the system were good for anything—which it plainly is not— it should have been strictly and correctly enforced by a proper and trustworthy description; whereas, not in one instance in 20,000 was the description given of Englishmen, or any other foreigners, in the faintest de • gree correct, or even approaching to correctness. Nor was the system more exact in reference to French man or French women. We have seen French men with long faces described in the passport as " visage ovale," and French women with long sharp chins described as menton rend. The system, though so vexatious, mi nute, and exacting, afforded no security what ever. So notorious and well-known a personage as the Duchess of Berry, at a period when her capture would have been of the highest importance, traversed France from one end to the ether without recognition or discovery; and Don Carlos, a personage equally well known, made his escape from London to Spain, though the French police and all the prefects and gensdarmes of the kingdom were on the alert. A more striking in stance, however, is afforded in the case of the present President of the French Republic, M. Louis Napoleon Bonaparte, who, though well known in that part of the country, escaped from the fortress of Ham, in Picardy, with a false passport, and arrived safely in London. How a man who availed himself of a false passport to deceive the police and gensdarmes, and who succeeded in deceive ing them, can allow so worthless and vexatious a system to continue, we cannot imagine. The whole thing, from be ginning to end, is a delusion and a mockery, affording no one real advantage, harassing the honest and well-intentioned, arid too often misleading the officers of justice in pursuit of criminals. Chateaubriand, in his most interesting memoirs just published, tells us, that when proscribed as an emigrant he lived during the Consulate in Paris for many months as a Swiss, with a passport under the name of Lassaing; and we have ourselves known three Minis ters of Charles X. and one Ambassador (two of the gen tlemen are still alive) who lived in Paris for months under false names and with false passports when a price was upon their heads. To suppose that the passport system favours the detection of criminals and aids the French police in scenting them out is the greatest of all delusions. There is not a bagne in France, from Brest to Toulon, in which there is not a regular fabric of false passports—nor a large town in which a criminal cannot find a passport and a disguise for a very small sum. The escape of so many criminals—political and social—during the last 18 months under a pass port system affords the best evidence of the utter worthlessness of that system. Political criminals have always been more vigorously hunted down in France than murderers or forgerers ; yet within a few months see how Caussidiere, Louis Blanc, Ledru Rollin, Boichot, Demontry, Felix Pyat, and so many hundreds of others, have escaped. Compare this system with our own, in which, without passports, Manning and his wits., Tawell, and the murderer of Mrs. Henrichson at Liverpool, are apprehended almost instantaneously, and there can be no question as to which is the more efficient and prefer able, on every public, private, and social ground. At the present season, when so many English are leaving London, many of whom land at Boulogne, Dieppe, Calais, and Havre, the discussion of such topics is ex tremely opportune. English interests at Paris ought surely to be represented by the only English journal in that capital, Galignani, and we could wish to see that paper directing the attention of the French Govern ment to a grievance which must, more or less, affect every one of its subscribers. ADVERTISER.—The slaveholders of the - United States appear to have great expectations in reference to California, expectations which, if realised, will convert that El Dorado into a scene such as the most fiendish spirits in this or any inferior world must contemplate with ineffable delight. They have discovered that slave labour will be very profitable in that country, "parti cularly so since the discovery of the gold mines." Their unbiassed judgment, after due consideration of the whole subject, leads them to the conclusion that " no Lbour can be so well adapted for mining purposes as slave labour;" and they are quite satisfied that the people of California will soon ascertain this fact to a demonstra tion, and, as the result, insist on the introduction of slaves into that country. Of course it will create no surprise in the mind of any one, that there shoal be found in our day, as there have been in former times, men so completely under the influence of selfish prin ciples, as to be morally incapable of perceiving the ini quity of anything by which their lust of gain may be gratified. If these men, who have accustomed them selves to regard one portion of the human family as essentially inferior to themselves, and created for the purpose of occupying a place scarcely superior to that of beasts of burden, should now discover that Africans were created expresfly to fill the pockets, and augment the happiness of southern men, the discovery would be just such as we should expect them to make, and every way worthy of the men by whom it might be made. It would, however, then remain a question, in the solution of which we should take a deep interest, how far these men are under the control of pu4lic opi nion throughout the world, and we should be concerned to ascertain whether or not there is power in the Northern States of America, in Great Britain, or in other non-slave-holding countries, to prevent these mon sters in human shape sporti ng with t h e f ee li ngs o f hu manity, and re-enacting the worst deeds that have blackened the annals of man's history. It is somewhat amusing to observe the manner in which the slave holding Americans deprecate all interfence, on the part of Congress, with ti - eir assumed " right" to do wrong to the slaves whom they are anxious to carry into Cali fornia. "For the Congress to interfere with that right to introdue them would be not only unconstitutional, but grossly oppressive and unjust." How strange— that men whose occupation is to trample on the rights of human nature, and grind their victims in the dust, should still have such a delicate sense of justice in reference to their own most precious selves. 'rho Congress will, we hope, when this most important question comes under discussion, for ever disappoint the expectations of the men who, without its sanction, will be unable to accomplish the purpose on which they are intel•t. It is a happy circumstance, in favour of those who are destined by these slave-mongers to toil for LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 7, 1849, their benefit in "the diggings," that the Congress will have the power to frct,tr.lte their evil designs. They <. qzk C4;tr <;_ ILUf y 00 V C2:y bl - .s:l•lf --c :A time slave-holding states on the Pacific, represented in Congress by slave holding citizens, Ns hose voices will be raised in trumpet-tones in defence of the institutions of their forefathers." Considering the progress of legis lation in the United States, bow it is gradually ad vancing in favour of freedom, we indulge expectations the very opposite of those which are expressed by " these slave-holding citizens. There may, indeed, be voices raised in " trumpet tones" in defence of the oppressive " institution," but there v.ill be other voices in still louder tones raised against it. Those who wish to convert Culirornia into a hot-bed of slavery cannot act alone; if this most disgraceful result should ever be brought about, it must be done in the name of the whole Federal Government, and by its consent. There is, in our estimation of the aholutionists, too much of determined purpose, of wakeful intelligence, of daily increasing influence, to render it possible for this most iniquitous project to succeed. At the same time, bearing in mind how great is the prize by which the cupidity of these " Southern people" is tempted, and the desperation of which they have given such frequent displays, and which drowning and dying men may be naturally expected to display, we are prepared to witness a tremendous conflict before this great question is finally decided. The friends of freedom in America have the honest arid philanthropic men of our own and every country on their side, while the traffickers in human flesh may rest assured that their miserable cause is one against which are arrayed, not only their own country. men in the Northern States, but a host of powerful and energetic men in every civilized land, who will not allow the cause of freedom to retrograde, but are pledged to its advancement throughout the world.

Yesterday the committee assembled in Guildhall, Mr. Barclay in the chair. INTERMENTS IN CITY CHURCHYARDS. The CHAIRMAN said the following letter had been transmitted to the Town clerk from the General Board of Health. Gwyelyr House, Whitehall, Sept. 5, 1849. Sir,—l am directed by the General Board of Health to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 4th in stant, inclosing a copy of a letter addressed by the com mittee on health of the Corporation of the City of Lon don to the churchwardens of the several parishes within the bounds of Oat) City, n the danger arising from the interments now taking place in the confined churchyards, and I am to stew in reply that the Board are gladlto find that the attention of the committee has been directed to this very import ant subject, which has also come under the special consideration of tho general board. The Board, however, are required by law to proceed by a separate inspect ion of each burial ground; and from the present severe pressure upon the attention of their in spectors, they are unable to undertake the task of in spection so rapidly as could be desired. I am, Sir, your most obedient, servant, ALEXANDER BAIN, Assistant Secretary. The letter WENS entered as read in the committee. REMONSTRANCE. AGAINST THE PLAN OF RAISING A TEM PORARY CHOLERA HOSPITAL ON THE SITE OF THE OLD FLEET PRISON. A very numerous deputation from the inhabitants of the ward of Farringdon Without, with Alderman Sidney at its head, waited upon the committee in consequence of a report in the newspapers, from which it appeared that the committee :had directed the City architect to make a temporary hospital for the reception of cholera patients on the site of the Fleet prison in Farringdon-street. A discussion then ensued, in which several members of the commiti.ee and the deputation tth,k part, and upon the rnot2.on of Mr. OwDEN, seconded by Mr. MATTHEWS, it, was determined that the committee should adhere 0..0 its former resolution, that a temporary hospital should be erected on the site of the old Fleet prison, in the event of no more suitable place being found. The numbers for the affirmative were 5, for the nega tive 3. The gentlemen of the deputation were then called in, and informed a the result, and they retired expressing their determination to agitate the question and to resist the decision of the committee with all their might. THE CITY OF LONDON UNION AND THE GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTII. The CITY SO LICITOR detailed the substance of a con ference wh i ch a. deputation from the committee held with the members of the General Board of Health, in the ccurse of whicl i it was strongly recommended that the system of house-to-house visitation should bo adopted in the city. The deputation took leave of the Board with the under standing that they would report to the committee, and that in all probability the recommendation of district visiting, as sunested by the Board, would be recom mended to the Court of Common Council. The commiti ee then adjourned. METROPOLITAN SEWERS COIIMISSION.—Yesterday a general court was held at the of f ices, Greek -street, Soho. Sir John Burgoyne presided, and the following justices were present:—The Rev. Messrs. Stone and Murray, Mr. Bullar, Mr. Bain, Mr. Leslie, Mr. Johnson, and Mr. Hawes. Mr. Bullar said that, considering the cholera returns; showed upwards of 200 a day, and that doubts existed as to whether flashing operations were beneficial or not, he proposed that a circular letter bo forthwith sent to various medical practitioners request ing their opinions of the effect which the flushing of sewers has had on the general health. Agreed to. The Honourable Commissioner also moved—" That the Trial Works Committee be authorised to expend any sum not exceeding 250/. on the ventilating and trapping of sewers in those „cases in whi c h t h ey t hi n k it would be Most beneficial. Mr. Leslie objected to the motion on two distinct grounds, namely, that no notice had been given, and that no plan had been exhi bited to enable the Court to judge of the feasibility of the proposition. The resolution was then carried by a majority of five to one. A long report was presented from Mr. Grant, respecting the cholera iu the IV andsworth• road. Albion-terrace, Wandsworth -road, consisted of seventeen houses, with an annual rental varying from 501. to 801. each. In twelve of these houses deaths from cholera had occurred ; from July 27 to Aug. 13, there hid been thirty-eight cases, of which twenty-five were fatal. These had lately increased to fifty. The malady had been ascribed to the Heathwell sewer, to the removal of foul matter, and to bad water. The report attributed the spread of the epidemic mainly to the contamination of the water with which the terrace was supplied. As remedies, it recommended an altered system of house drainage, the cleansing of ce,spools, and the destruction of the brick drains. The entire cost of these improve ments would be about 101. per house. By this outlay the property would most likely be much increased in value. There had bceu nothing dune by the Commission which, in the opinion of Mr. Grant, would have caused the recent outbreak of the cholera in that neighbonrhood. It was intimated that Mr. Grant might inform the pro prietors that they could peruse this report on applica tion. The Court then adjourned.

MA NS/ON-HO USE. 17-r, th e cuarge uf ,having attempted lo violate a little girl who woiked for him for miserable pay. Mr. Brown, a surgeon, deposed that the attempt had been made, but bad not been successful. Jarvis, the officer who apprehended the prisoner, said, the prisoner confessed that he had made the at tempt, and that the confession had been made in English, although he pretended at the first examina tion not to be able to speak a word of the language. The LORD MAYOR asked the child what pay she received from the prisoner? to which she replied, that all she got for her week's labour was three-halfpence, and that her mother had determined not to let her work for him any more. The LORD MAYOR—I commit the prisoner for trial. Mr. Goodman (the chief clerk) said, there was a cants ontissus in the Act which prevented, in a case of misd emeanour , th e expenses o f th e prosecution from being paid, and the parents of the child, who was under t we l ve years o f age , were ve ry poorin deed, and could not afford to pay anything whatever. The LORD MAYOR said, it would be monstrous to allow a case of such a nature to fall to the ground from a defect in an Act of Parliament when the pa rents were too poor to prosecute. When female children, to eke out the scanty income of their indi gent parents,. were driven to go out to work, they were placed in the power of their employers, and the law was bound to throw its protection around them. He should direct the City Solicitor to pro secute, The - child's father begged to say a word. The parents of the prisoner were, he believed, in a state of great poverty, and the prisoner was the only sup port of them and some brothers and sisters. They had implored him to ask for his Lordship's merciful consideration. The LORD MAYOR said he could not attend to any such suggestion. He placed the case in the hands of the City Solicitor to prosecute. Committed for trial. DERBY, 1850. 1,000 to 30 agst Duke of Richmond's Compass—taken MORPETH RACES w EDNESDA.Y.

DONCASTER RACES.—The directors of the Great Northern and Eastern Counties Railway Companies have adopted our suggestion with regard to a special train on Monday next, and have announced that it will leave the Bishopsgate station at 10 A.m., and arrive at Doncaster at 5 P.m., thus avoiding change of carriages and road travelling; a special train will also be started on the St. Leger day at 5.4.; A. 31 due at Doncaster about 12 at noon, to return the same day at 5 r.sr. On the last day (Friday) a train will leave at 5 P.m. to ar rive at Bishopsgate at 11.30. These arrangements seem every way calculated to meet the wishes and conveni ence of the racing community. CLOSING OF ST. CLEMENT'S GRAVEYARD IN PORTUGAL STREET, LINCOLN'S INN, BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF HEaurn.—The authorities of the Board of Health yesterday issued a peremptory order under the Nuisance Removal Act, to the churchwardens and over seers of the parish of St. Clement Danes, Strand, toclose the graveyard belonging to the parish in Portugal street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, against any further inter ments in the ground, at al.l events during the prevalence of the prevailing epidemic, and to make other provision for interments. REFORMATION OF JUVENILE OFFENDERS.--A t a meeting of the governors of the Ph ilanthro p ic Society, held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. W. Glad stone, treasurer, in the chair, it was announced that the late Mr. J. Denison, M.P., had bequeated 500 i., free of legacy duty, in aid of the soci?ty'n farm-school, at lit d hill, Surrey, the Philanthropic being. the only charity named in his will. The treasurer also stated that Lord Carlisle had favoured the society by accepting the office of vice•president. GUILDHALL. William Jordan, of 89, Waterloo road, who had his arm broken, was charged before Alderman Law rence with being drunk, and incapable of driving his horse and cart. Robert Allen, 321, stated that about nine o'clock the provious evening he saw the prisoner (who had been bailed out) driving a light spring cart down Ludgate-hill, and when opposite St. Martin's Church the horse fell, and Jordan, another man, and a female, were thrown out of the cart. The woman was taken to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood in an insensible state, and it was found that one of her thumbs had been fractured. The other man had his wrist broken. Witness took the prisoner, who was very much in toxicated, to the station, and charged him with being drunk and incapable of driving his horse, upon which he was locked up. About two o'clock in the morning the prisoner complained of a great pain in his arm, upon which he was taken to the hospital, and on exa mination it was found that he had broken his arm in two places, although he had not given the slightest intimation previously of having received any in jury. His arm was set and he was afterwards bailed out. Alderman LAWRENCE asked the prisoner what he was ?—Jordan replied that he was a butcher by trade, and certainly was tipsy when the accident occurred. He and his friends had suffered severely through his folly. Alderman LAWRENCE—WeII, you have paid dearly for your indiscretion in getting intoxicated, and _I hope it will be a warning for you in future. You are discharged. Jordan thanked the Alderman, and then left the court. Sir PETER LAURIE took the opportunity of stating publicly that there was no want of hospital room in the City for cholera patients. He had been to St. Thoma. s Hospital, and had ascertained that due pro vision had been made at that noble institution for the emergency of the times ; that hitherto no cholera patient had been refused admission ; and that there was ample preparation should such patients be brought in. He had also been to St. Bartholomew's Hospital that day, and he was gratified to find that ample accommodation had been also provided there, and that there were at that house several vacant beds. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. An elderly woman made the following statement to Mr. Hardwick :—One of her daughters was mar ried to a bricklayer named Thomas Read. About four veers ago her daughter was confined, and another of her daughters went to nurse her. The husband took advantage of the circumstance to reduce his wife's sister, and the result of the intercourse was a little boy, now about three years old, by whom she was accompanied. The child had been sworn to the father, and an order to pay a stated sum per week made on him. The child was given into her care by her daughter, and she continued to maintain it, with what she could get from the father and her own labour, up to the present time. For some time past, however, the father had refused to contribute to the support of his offspring. The mother of the child had totally abandoned it by going off with a man to Aus tralia. Now, as the whole burden of the child's maintenance was thrown upon her, and as she was a woman who worked for her living, and far advanced in years, she was totally unable to keep the child, and she wished, therefore, to know if the Magistrate would assist her to get the child into Marylebone workhouse, as that was the child's parish. Mr. HARDWICK having procured the attendance of Mr. Carter, one of the overseers of Marylebone, in quired if the parish objected to take the child into the workhouse, under the peculiar circumstances of the case ? Mr. Carter was quite willing to do what the law required, but he apprehended the law did not reach the present case. The parish could only act against the father through the instrumentality of the mother, except in certain specified cases, and this was not one of them. Mr. HARDWICK said the parish was empowered to act against the father where the mother was either dead, insane, in prison, or transported. In a case like the present, where the mother had gone to a colony of her own accord, the law make no provision to enable the parish to act; still, if the parish was willing to try the question, he would have no objec tion to issue his summons against the putative father. Mr. Carter said he was always unwilling to com mence proceedings in cases where he felt any doubt of being able to carry them on to a successful issue. It was astonishing how well th© defects and omissions of the Bastardy Act were understood by persons who came within its operation, and how eager they were to shelter themselves from the penalty by laying hold of any legal flaw or difficulty. However, he would do what he could in the present instance, and he would lay the case before the board to-morrow (this day). The grandmother was ordered to attend Kith tl.e deserted little child before the Marylebone board at twelve o'clock. MARYLEBONE. James Minchin was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long, on the charge of having wilfully set fire to a hayrick, the property of Mr. Robert Young, Brent-street, Hendon, and thereby caused damage to the amount of upwards of 601. Police-constable Field, 300 S, said—Yesterday evening, as I was on duty in the New Finchley road, by Golder's-grsen, I saw a hayrick on fire, and on repairing to the spot I observed that the rick had been lighted at the bottom. On looking round I observed, at a distance of 20 yards, the Lea of a shoe protruding from a heap o f ru bbi s h, an d on my laying hold of it I drew forth the prisoner. I asked him if he knew anythin g o f th e fi re , an d h e rep li e d th a t h e did not. I told him that I should take him into custody upon suspicion of having fired the rick, and on my searching his pockets I found in one of them six lucifer-matches, which he said he carried for the purpose of lighting his pipe. He had neither pipe nor tobacco in his possession. The prisoner declined to put any questions to the witness. Other evidence was gone into, from which it was shown that the loss sustained by Mr. Young was no less than 651. The prisoner, who had nothing tosay, was committed for trial. The inspector mentioned to the Magistrate the singular and painful fact that one of his constables, named Sibley, who was at the scene of conflagration, and who for some time past h a d b e en suffering fro m a disease of the heart, died at three o 'c a l i o i ck pro tt a a! (yesterday) morning, his death having, bility, been accelerated by the exteintecniesenibatettct)hwrohwicnh. he had, under the peculiar circumstances , at 2, Little Margaret Keefe, an IrjsliwTm v .l n iv g ing i violently as- Park street, was charg d e of beekeepers of the poor, at saulted Mr. Kirby, the Marylehone workhouse. Complainant's evidence was, that on the same morning he received a medical certificate of the death of one of defendant's children by cholera, and the document set forth that the body should be instantly removed. Complainant accordingly repaired to the place, and on his demanding that the body should be delivered up, and deposited in the dead-house until the burial should take place, de fendant abused him most grossly, and struck him several times. He said he had no wish to press harshly against the prisoner, as regarded the assault upon him. He did not succeed in his attempt to bring the child away, and he wished to call his Worship's atu-nticei to the fact that in the room where the dead child was lying, there were six other children living with the father and mother. Every room in the house had a family in it, and the place altogether was most unhealthy and likely to engender cholera. The MAGISTRATE (Mr. Long) impressed w . 3on the defendant the necessity of her suffering the child to be removed by the parish officers, who were quite willing to let her bury it in her own w ijita it het-, own expense. Th s ;.;.; ;" Richard Mahoney and John Blake Cse\thate...d. with misconduct at the house of Riciitrd--Harrison, grocer, Coleshill street, Pimlico; and ..To7V-porn - pith attempting to rescue the p r i soner M a h oney. 'S. Mr. l3eckerson, an inspector of the A division, before the charges were proceeded with, intbrmed the magistrate that the complainant in this instance was the person who, with his wife, was held to bail about a fortnight ago at this court, to answer the charge of cruelty to their child at the next Middlesex sessions, sad ever since their appearance before the magistrate there had been continually a large crowd of persons opposite their shop, the presence of three or four con stables at a time toting necessary to preserve order. The evidence went to show that the moment Har rison put his head out of the door to close his shop shutters, a number of missiles were discharged at him by the mob, and he was suddenly justled into the shutter box, and struck on the head. The bay Mahoney was seen to throw a handful of something at Harrison, and the latter appeared to entertain a strong opinion that Blake was one of those who thrust him into the shutter-box , while the police clearly , proved that Thorn laid hold of Mahoney, endea voured to pull him away from the constable, and said he should not be taken. Mahoney admitted he threw a bundle of small sticks at complainant; but Blake denied in the most positive terms that he had touched the complainant, and Thorn said he meant no harm. _ _ Mr. BURRELL fined Mahoney and Thorn 10s. each, or, in default, 10 days ; but as there appeared to be some doubt with respect to Blake, he would give him the benefit of it and discharge him. The worthy Magistrate observed, that if any more of this sort of conduct took place he should feel it his duty to punish it with the utmost severity. WORSHIP-STREET. A donation of 101. was received by the magistrates from " A Lady at Merton," who desired that the amount might be applied to the relief of the numerous poor families in Bethnal-green and Shoreditch who had been placed in a state of destitution from the ra vages of the prevailing epidemic. The half of a 51. note (No. 69,436, 14th July, 1849) was also received from an anonymous correspondent, who promised to transmit the remaining moiety upon seeing the first acknowledged in the daily papers. Mary Ann Davis, an elderly woman of repulsive aspect, who was well known to the police, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Arnold, charged on suspicion of having administered some stupifying ingredients to a young orphan girl, named Sarah Hunt, 14 years of age, and with having subsequently robbed her of the greater part of her clothing. Mr. ARNOLD said that it was a very serious charge, and as the positive testimony of the complainant, which he saw no reason to discredit, was corroborated to some extent by the evidence of other impartial witnesses, he should order the prisoner to be remanded until Tuesday next.

Loss OF THE WOLVERHAMPTON MAIL -BAGS: On Wednesday night late, the mail-bags from Wolverhamp ton, Bilston, &e., were lost in tf ansitu, under the follow ing circumstances:—lt appeals that r. W. Fairburn, hairdres.er, of Wednesbury, is the contractor for the conveyance of the mail-bags, which are carried by small pony-cart, and that he has been in the habit of employing occasionally a mau named John Clarke to drive the mail for him. Oa Wednesday night Clarke was employed to drive the mail, and received the bags at Wolverhampton, Bilston, and Wednesbury, as usual. On his arrival at West Bromwich, the postmaster, on coming out to receive the bags, perceived the flap of the cart down, and it was then discovered that the whole of the mail bags were missing. The matter became suspicious from the answer given by Clarke on his return to Wed nesbury, " that the bags were all right," when he at the same time knew that he had lust them. and he was given into custody.

As a work of art it is a valuable acqui sition to the monumental stores of our venerable cathe dral.—Kentish Observer.
