HARDCASTLE'S CURE for ASIATIC CHOLERA ! And also his GRAND PREVENTIVE of CHOLERA, or CURE for DIARRHtEA, (Common Bowel Complaints), whieh often precedes Cholera. The astonishing success which has attended the use of the above 'trainable Medicines (not a single failure having yet taken place out of - upwards of 200 cases), has induced the Proprietor to bring them more prominetly before the Public. Having witnessed the great mortality by Cholera which took place in Stockton seventeen years ago, when about 130 persons died in a Very short time, Mr. 11. directed his earnest attention to discover some more efficient Preventive and Cure than were at that time employed, and has succeeded in compounding the " Dlarrhcea Pow dell" and " Cholera Drops," which have rescued many from prema- Ulf?, graves, to whom reference can be given. Their great efficacy lies caused them to be 8) much esteemed in Stockton and the Neigh bourhood, that the Proprietor has now made arrangements fur ex tending their sale to other places. After the Cholera has ceased to exist, the " Cholera Drops," will still be kept on sale, under the title of " Spasm Drops," a most excellent remedy for all stomach complaints ; and the " Diarrhoea Pawders" are most useful medicines for railway travellers, families, and ships, in case of sudden attack ; and no captain ought to go to sea without having both in his medicine chest.

MAJOR AND lIIS WAGER. A smart young fellow of the name of Major Iteselv'd one day That he would lay A singularly interesting wager. The bet which Mr. Major laid was. this (And certainly 'tis not so much amiss); Six Overcoats were to be made By different artistes in the trade. The number of the Coats was not much heeded, For, as it happen'd. they were, just then, needed. The garments being made, Were on a taste to be laid; And after that an umpire was to fix On one among the six, And if the one selected from the rest, As being best, Turn'd out to be the Coat of M. and SON, The curious wager Of Mr. Major Was to be view'd as honourably won. The umpire cholen was a Mr. Grainger, A man whose taste Is rightly placed, And, I would add, to this a perfsct stranger. The time arrived, and Mr. Matthew Major Was all agog to hear about his wager. The friends all met, the umpire came, Straight to the coat-clad table, And in a way most able, Presided at the same. The new-made Coats were thoroughly inspected, Aad one, as choicest, was at length selected. All in the room save Mr. Major, Who laid the wager Looked right straight down their noses; For, as you'll guess, The choicest dress Was that obtained of MOSES. LIST OF PRICES. ULDY MADE.

Reader, remember, this letter was put int the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Ilerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the h air on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than lever was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'r Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an I Is. bottle if tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ;as a toilet perfume itt far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough." In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, matte it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repent it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heats, it has such a peculiar cooling Influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See paraphlet of testimonials.

From the evidence of Mr. Woodman, Mr. Tyler's sub • scribers' list-keeper, it appeared that deceased was ac companied from Whitechapel by a youth named Smith, about her own age, to visit the above gardens. They had net proceeded more than half a dozen yards into the gardens when sbe complained of great pain in her chest, and fell, apparently, in a fit. Mr. Woodmen ran to her assistance, and restoratives were immediately brought from Mr. Tyler's house by the housekeeper, who ren dered every possible aid. Mr. Vinall was also sent for, and promptly attended, but life was extinct. The de ceased bore an excellent character, and the jury being fully satisfied, returned a verdict of "Natural death." The Gazette du Bas Languedoc contains the fol lowing:—" A few days ago a sinister-looking man in rags, and with an immense quantity of hair, was seen hanging about the village of Rochefort, department of the Gard. All at once it became rumoured that he had brought the cholera. The peasantry immediately as sembled, armed with muskets and scythes, and went in search of the man. They found him lying under a tree near the Chapelle of Notre Dame, and presented their muskets at him. What are you about?' cried he, greatly terrified. Is it you, scoundrel, who have brought the cholera?' No, gentlemen, no!' ' But you have it there, fastened up in your wine flask!' No; the flask only contains wine, and to prove it to you I will drink the wine!' God forbid!' cried the terrified pea sants, that you should open the bottle and let the cholera escape. There—be off, and if you appear here again we will kill you!' The mendicant, for such ho was, immediately decamped.

BOTOLI'II, OPSGATE.—At a vestry meeting, held yesterday, Mr, Smart, the vestry-clerk, in answer to an inquiry from Mr. Hopgood, said that a vestry would probably be held the week after next, to confirm what had been done with reference to the closing of the churchyard and the vaults. He thought it important to Elate that there had only been ten interments in the vaults in the last ten years; and, fortunately, there had not been a single in terment in the new ground beyond those in the pur chased graves, of which there were only nitr.. Mr. Hopgood—And of course, under these circumstances, no more graves will be sold Y Mr. Smart—Certainly not. It was stated by Mr. Prockter that there was now no cholera in the entire ward. It was a remarkable thing that in those localities which adjoined the churchyard, as New Broad-street, and Broad-street-buildings, there had not been a single case. COLTCORD.—WHERE IGNORANCE Is BLISS.—A waggoner was employed last week to convey some articles of furniture from Bruton to the watering place of Seaton. On leaving the-latter place on his return he seated himself on the right hand corner of the waggon to drive. He had not proceeded many yards from the town when the hind-wheel on the left got disengaged from the axle unobserved, and rolled into the ditch. The weight of the driver on the opposite side pre vented the waggon from losing its position, the driver continuing his journey very comfortably, es timating his return to Bruton in time for the fair, which was near at hand. By and bye he was met by a man who with a grin accosted him with " Why, master, ono of your wheels is off." This being re ceived as a joke, was met with the ironical request to the informant "putt'n on again." At length Colyford was reached, and the same salutation greeted the driver as before, who angrily gave the same reply, without suspecting the fact. The turnpike-gate was passed, and afterwards the village of Musbury—the un believing driver, who, no doubt, thought that the natives were a very frolicsome set of beings, still being hailed by every passer-by, and answering in the same style as before. At last he reached the Black Dog Inn, Axmin ster, and having travelled seven miles, thought it was time to refresh the inner man. Accordingly, he pulled up with the usual " We, ho !" and straightway jumped out, when down went the tail-end of the waggon on the protruding axle, and the driver found himself really in a fix, and matched for his uncouth behaviour on the road. His weight had actually balanced the waggon on three wheels for seven miles. It was then dark, and lanterns and assistants were procured to search for the lost wheel. After groping the ditches all the way, it was found at Colyford, where it had been brought by a person who had found it near Seaton, and who imposed a lien upon it of hall a crown. After proceeding to Seaton to borrow some money of his employer, which this reverse of for tune had rendered necessary, and rolling the wheel to Axminster to be attached to the waggon the driver pro ceed, d on his way lamenting.

IN THB RDIEE.—The Iphegenia, lent by the Admiralty to the Seamen's Hospital off Greenwich, has during the past month received on board nearly 300 seamen of all nations attacked with this fearful epidemic, and such was its malignant character, that one-half died within twelve hours after their having been brought alongside. A debt of gratitude is owing to the unre mitting exertions of the officers of this admirable insti tution, all of whom were constantly at their post in the 1 hour a duller. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE INDIA AND CHINA SQUADRON. TRINCOMALEE, AUG. 7.—Her Majesty's steam slcop Fury, Commander Wilcox, left this for Madras on the 19th ult., to bring coals and provisions—the former for herself, the latter for the small squadron here. During her absence the Canada freight ship arrived with abundant supplies of everything from Deptford, and on the 23th ult. the Fury returned from Illadras. A small schooner, the Australia, purchased for the colony of New Zealand, at Bombay, and brought here by the Cambrian, 40, Commodore Plumridge, C. 8., left this place for Singapore on the Ist instant, in charge of Lieutenant Webber, of her Majsty's ship Hastings, 72, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier, C. 8., So. On her arrival there she will he handed over to the lion. Captain Keppel, of her Majesty's ship Meander, 44, which ship is about to quit this station for the Pacific, and on her way will leave the Australia at New Zealand. The Hast- ipirs-and-CowbsUn-Layib-reasaineslaaaa.siabeeills aoth of June, t‘afferd time for the proceedings of `hoard" of revision of the dockyard expenditure, composed of the senior officers of both ships; its sittings being now terminated the squadron Once more about to disperse. The Hastings and Fury sail to-morrow for Singapore, and after a week's stay there will proceed to China .)nce more to remain there all next winter, while the Cambrian, after touching at Madras, will go on to Moulmein, conveying a variety of stores requisite :for the Malacca steam- sloop, now in course of construc tion at that place. The Hastings will meet the Columbine, 16, Commander Hay, at Singapore, on her way home, about the first week in September, and will probably remain at that port until the arrival of the Cleopatra, 26, Captain Massie, and the Reynard, 11, Commander Cracroft, from England. Report says, and (adds our correspondent) I believe truly, that the Hastings will not winter as before at Hong- Kong, but proceed to Woosung, where a colder and clearer atmosphere prevails, and where the health of he officers and crew is most likely to be renovated tiler the intense heat of the Indian summer. Various opinions are expressed with respect to Captain Keppel's proceedings in the affair with the authorities at Macao, and much curiosity is felt to know what view the Government at home may take of it; but as far as he himself is concerned (and I write impartially, being a perfect stranger to him personally), the universal feeling is, that his conduct was in perfect keeping with the manly and dashing character he has maintained throughout his career in the service, and that the navy and the country would gain by having a few more officers of his stamp in active employment. When the Hastings and Fury leave for the Straits of Malacca and China to-morrow, the Cambrian will remain the sole representative of the British naval power in the Indian seas, which is surely not right. PROMOTIONS AND EXCHANGES IN THE SQUADRON SINCE LAST MAIL. Patrick Digan, M.D., acting surgeon of the Colum bine, and Henry,Baker, M.D., surgeon of the Amazon, have exchanged ships. • Lieutenant F. Frobyn, recently promoted, has been appointed (additional) to the Hastings. Mr. Glyn, midshipman, has been transferred from the Hastings to the Cambrian. Mr. Carneiro Leao, an officer of the Brazilian navy, who came out in the Hastings, and has been serving in the Cambrian for the last nine months, has been appointed to the Fury for the purpose of study ing steam as applied to the purposes of navigation. Leao is an officer of singular zeal and merit, tnd is much re'pected in the squadron. The Admiral is much better in health than he has been for some time. The squadron is also healthy. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 27.—Captain- Superintendent Sir Edward Parry is on leave of absence, attending he family of his late brother-in-law, the Bishop of Norwich. Captain Henry, of the Royal Marine Artillery, proceeded this morning to Bath, on two months' leave, to recruit his health. Cqtgivrareeil, of -the; Superb, 80, --- at Spitheact is noTextected to rejoin before the end of the next week, being on leave with his family in Ireland. Captain Gordon has taken up his appointment to the Encounter, and that ship is now nearly ready to :eave the harbour. She looks very handsome. Commander Hewlett, of the Excellent, is progress ing favourahlyhtowards convalescence after his late iccident at thz stockade. The Persian, 16, Commander Wodehouse, arrived at Halifax on the 13th ult., after a boisterous pas iage of 28 days from Plymouth. She encountered a , ale off the Western Islands, and met with a large water logged, which they boarded, but found her quite deserted. The Persian would sail for Ja maica in about ten days. The Wellesley, 72, Vice- Admiral the Earl of I)undonald, was at Halifax. the Sappho, 12, Commander Michell, at Vera Cruz. She has been very sickly, and has lost one of her ieutenants (Mr. Dashwood). The Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, would be at Halifax in about three weeks, from Newfoundland. The Wellesley was :he only man-of-war at Halifax at the date of our letter. WooLwicu, SEPT. 27.—The Archer steam-sloop went down the river this morning at an early hour to try her screw-propeller, after its being reduced to 10 feet in diameter, and the average of four runs up and down the measured mile gave a speed of fully seven knots per hour, a considerable advance over her previous trials. The Terrible steam-frigate, Captain Ramsey, was paid off to-day, and many of the men have left the vessel with regret, as they have been remarkably comfortable under their gallant commander, of whom they speak in the highest terms for his uniform kind ness to them. They are also proud of having served in a vessel which has obtained so high a character from Admiral Parker, on the Mediterranean station. Many of the crew are most anxious to serve again in her, which they would do with pleasure if Captain Ramsey was reappointed, but they will not decide wadi they know who is to command her. The general impression is that the Terrible will be im mediately recommissioned, and take out troops to the East Indies, to test her further capabilities, as she has been found to answer well in other respects. A fatal accident occurred yesterday evening, be twixt eight and nine o'clock, to one of the crew, a caulker on board the Inflexible. The deceased had been visited on board by his sister, and proceeded in the boat with her to see her safe on shore. On his return to the vessel, and when ascending the ladder, he slipped his foot, and was precipitated into the river, and it was so long before his body was re covered that life was extinct and surgical assistance was of no avail. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY, SEPT. 17.—The Pe ninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Montrose, Captain John Bowen, sailed this afternoon, at two o'cloc k, with the usual Spanish and Portuguese mails. She has thirty passengers, amongst whcm are his Excellency John B. Clay, the new American Chargé d'Affaires to Portugal, and family. The freight com prises specie value 3,0001. and 76 tons measurement of general cargo. The next homeward mails from Vigo, Oporto, Lisbon, Cadiz, and Gibraltar, will be brought by the Iberia, Captain C. F. Burney, due on the 4th of Oc tober. The Ripon, Captain R. Moresby, with the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, may be ex pected about Monday next. The Sultan, Captain George Brooks, leaves on Saturday for Gibraltar, Malta, and Constantinople. LLOYD'S.—A half-yearly general meeting of the members of Lloyd's was held on Wednesday ; Mr. Wm. Chapman Harnett in the chair, in place of Mr. G. R. Robinson, M.P., who was prevented attending in con sequence of illness but who is shortly expected to be able to again preside over the committee of manage ment. The report of the committee, which related solely to internal affairs, was read by Captain Halstead, R.N., and carried unanimously, after which the honorary silver medal of the establishment was voted to Robert B. Forbes, Esq., of Boston, United States, a passenger on board the Europa steamer, to mark the sense entertained of his gallant and disinterested conduct in leaping overboard at great personal risk, and assisting in saving a part of tho passengers of the Charles Bart let, when that vessel was unhappily run down by the Europa steamer on the 27th June last. WHAT IT COSTS TO PLAY AT SOLDIERS.—France has spent upon its war establishment, from 1831 to 1849, no less than 288,000,0001.! This enormous sum may be said to have been spent upon reviews, for not one war (the razzias in Algeria are even too contemp tible for the contemptible name of war), broke out during the above period. Therefore it cost France 10,000,0002 a year for reviews: really there is no game so expensive as playing at soldiers. Louis Philippe's motto was "La Puix a tout prix," and he certainly paid dearly enough for it. According t ) the late King's tariff, peace was nearly as expensive as war. But then it was "an armed peace." It required 500,000 men to prevent France from fighting ; that is to say, nearly as many as Napoleon required to fight all Europe with. We must say we doubt the peaceful intentions of such a warlike nation. A. peaceful man does not walk about with duelling pistols in his pocket. And it is probable that France will have to pay for its eighteen years of childish reviews with a perpetual income tax. We only hope it will be a timely warning ,to other peace-preaching and war-practising nations.—Punch. LANSDOWN E. 11011 SE.—The Marquis of Lansdowne has, to a considerable degree, thrown his splendid town mansion and grounds, in Berkeley-square, open to the view of the public, by the erection of an iron gate in Berkeley-street, directly opposite /Uphill. [PRICE SD. REVIEW OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 27.—M. Drouin de Lhuys, Ambassador from France, with Madame Drouin de Lhuys and a party of ladies and gentlemen, visited Woolwich t o -d a y, accompanied by Major-General Fox, Surveyor-General of the Ordnance. The whole of the Royal Artillery in the garrison, with the exception of those on duty, assembled on the common at half past ten o'clock, A.m., the Royal Horse Artillery under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Brereton, C. 8., K.H. ; the right battalion of the Foot Artillery, under the command of Lieutenant- Colonel Bent, with Captain and Adjutant Campbell ; Captain Marriott's company, with 9 pounder field batteries, the gunners dismounted, under the com mand of Lieutenant-Colonel Ingilby ; the left batta lion of Foot Artillery, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel James, with Captain and Adujutant Doraville; and the Field Batteries, consisting of three companies, with four light 6 pounder guns each, under thocommand of Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, with Captain and Adjutant Rogers; the whole under the command of Colonel Cruttenden, with Captain Adjutant Radcliffe acting as Aide-do Camp. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., Commandant of the Garrison, arrived on the ground at eleven o'clock, accompanied by Colonel Campbell, Lieutenant-Colonel Reid, Commandant of the Royal Engineers and Royal Sappers and Miners at Woolwich ; Lieutenant-Colonels Furneaux, Evans, Wilson, Wright, Brigade -Major Bingham, and Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster- General, with Captain and Adjutant Bradling acting as Aide-de-Camp to the Lieutenant -General. Major-General Fox joined the staff of the Lieut.- General, and M. de Lhuys remained at the flag-staff. The troops received the Commandant with the usual salute, the band playing the National Anthem. Ac companied by the staff, he rode down the front to inspect the men, who then broke into open column, and right in front marched past at slow and quick time. The field batteries then marched forward, and went through the exercises of a field day with excel lent effect. A serious accident happened to gunner Lomes, of Captain St. George's company, who lost four fingers of his hand, and had his face singed, and one of his eyes injured, by the charge he was ramming home going off before he could withdraw the rammer. The Royal Hone Artillery then marched forward, and went through their evolutions in a superior man ner, each troop having two 12-pounder howitzers and two light 6-pounder guns, and each howitzer and gun served with thirty rounds of ammunition. The men attached to the 6-pounders dismounted them, and again commenced firing with great celerity of movement. The troops then marched past in single file to the barracks. M. de Lhuys, with Major-General Fox and party, accompanied Colonel Campbell to the Repository grounds, and were conducted over the Rotunda by Colonel Campbell and Captain Anderson, and ap peared much interested with the model of Rio de Ja neiro and other curiosities. Colonel Campbell next conducted the Ambassador and his friends to the place where the hearse is kept on which the remains of the Emperor Napoleon were conveyed to the place of interment in St. Helena. On leaving the Repository-grounds the Ambassador with his friends returned to town. CITY of LONDON REGISTRATION. Wednesday morning the Court was opened at ten o'clock, when the revision of the list for Bridge, Can dlewick, and Walbrook Wards was proceeded with. PARISH OF ST. MART, ABCHURCH.-QUESTION AS TO THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CIIIIRCHWARDEN AND OVERSEER. It appeared that the notices of objection by the Conservatives had been served upon a Mr. Marshall, who was not an overseer of the parish, and the party serving the notices had called upon Mr. Swepson, the churchwarden of the parish, but, upon some person representing on that occasion that Mr. Swepson was only the churchwarden, and that Mr. Marshall was -the overseer, the notices were afterwards served upon the latter. From these premises, Mr. Browne argued, that the mere calling on Mr. Swepson with the notices, and being sent by him to a person who was not an overseer, could not be con strued by the Court into a service upon Mr. Swepson. The COURT decided sgainst the objection, on the ground that the notice was not a good one. Mr. Brown then contended that the notices served on the part of the Liberals were invalid, inasmuch as they had been served upon Mr. Swepson, who was a churchwarden, and not an overseer. In support of his argument he cited the 6th Vic., c. 18, s. 17, which enacted " that evry person whose name shall have been inserted in any list of voters for any city or borough may object to any other persons as not having been entitled on the last day of July next preceding to have his name inserted in any list of voters for the same city or borough, and every person so objecting shall, on or before the 25th of August in that year, give or cause to be given a notice to the overseers who shall have made out the list." The 101st section, which was the interpretation clause, went at full length into the subject, but it did not include the word churchwarden within the meaning of the term overseer. This clause enacted that " wherever any notice is by this Act required to be given or sent to the overseers of any parish or town ship, it shall be sufficient if such notice shall be de livered to any one of such overseers, or shall be left at his place of abode, or at his office or other place fur trans acting parochial business, or shall be sent by the post addressed to the overseers of the particular parish or township to which the notice may relate." Upon the authority of these enactments he (Mr. Browne) sub mitted that the Legis!ature drew a distinction be tween the office of churchviarden and that of overseer. Their duties were entirely distinct, and it was clear that a service upon a churchwarden could not be en tertained as a service upon an overseer. Mr. Smith contended that under the authority of the 43d Elizabeth, chap. 2, the churchwardens were cx officio overseers. This Act stated that the church wardens of every parish shall be called overseers of the poor of the same parish ; and it was quite clear from the interpretation clause of 6 Vic., chap. 18, that the statute was intended to refer to any person who exercised the duties of overseer. But he sub mitted that the decision of the Court of Common Pleas in the case of "Beenlen v. Hockin" (reported in Lutwyche's Registration Cases), was conclusive upon the question. Chief Justice Wilde had there said (in reference to the same point which had been raised on the present occasion) " The question turns upon the meaning to be given to those words in the 17th section of the 6 Vict., c. 18, which say that notice of objection shall be given to the overseers who shall have made out the list. It is contended that service upon a churchwarden of the parish who had not signed the list was bad ; but I think an effectual answer has been given to that objection. The several sections of the Act which have been re ferred to, beginning with the 10th, are general in their terms, and apply to all those who fall within the description of overseers of the poor." He (Mr. Smith) continued to urge that, upon the authority of the statutes he had cited, and also • upon the opinion expressed by the Court of Common Pleas, the party now in question stood in the position of an overseer, and that therefore the notices of objection were valid. Mr. M'CIIRISTIE held that the services upon the churchwarden were good according to the authorities quoted. ST. BENET, GRACECHURCII.—ADMISSIBILITT OF EVIDENCE.—SamueI John Nail, whose name ap peared on the list as the occupier of a counting-house at 10, St. Benet's•place, was objected to by Mr. Browne (for the Conservatives) on the ground that his landlady resided on the premises. The claimant stated that the building in which his counting-house was situated had only one street-door, and the counting-house was on the ground-floor. He did not know of his own knowledge whether the landlady lived on the premises. Mr. Browne said he bad a witness who was pre pared to prove that the landlady's son bad told him, on his going to the premises to make inquiries into the subject, that his mother had no other place of abode than No. 10, St. Benet's-place. He (Mr. Browne) thought that under the circumstances the Court was bound to receive such evidence, Mr. Nail himself being unable to give any positive information on the subject. Mr. Smith objected to the reception of such evi dence. Mr. M'CHRISTIE was of opinion that the evidence tendered was inadmissible, and that the name must be retained. The Court then adjourned. Sir Robert and Lady Peel, and Miss Peel, leave Eilean Rigas, near Blauly, N. 8., the second week in the ensuing month for Drayton Manor, Staffordshire, for the winter. The Right Hon. Baronet and her Ladyship in tend to make visits en route to the south, to several dis tinguished friends. Lady Peel and Miss Peel, accom panied by Captain W. Peel, R.N., went over to Inverness to be present at the northern meeting. Sir Robert has received a select circle of visits, the party never exceed ing eight in number at one time, from the limited ac commodation afforded at his shooting box.

BALMORAL, SEPT. 25. 4 for Maji sty and the Prince drove out this morning into the Forest of Invercauld. The Princess Royal, attended by Miss Hillyard, rode out on horseback yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. Farquharson, of Invercauld, will have the honour of dining with the Queen this evening. Earl Grey arrived at -his seat, Howick Hall, North umberland, on Wednesday evening, from Balmoral. The Chancellor of the Exchequer arrived at his resi dence in Downing-street last evening, from his seat, Hickleton Hall, near Doncaster. ROUTE OF HER MAJESTY. (From the Glasgow Daily Mail of yesterday.) - A considerable alteration has been made in the arrangements as to her Majesty's route southward, and also as to the time of departure from Balmoral. It was understood last week that her Majesty would arrive in Perth yesterday, and remain during the night in the Royal George Hotel ; indeed, the whole house was engaged for the Royal party, and it was understood that the Queen would proceed next morning by the Scottish Central, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and North British Railways ; but owing, as is alleged, to the state of the public health in Perth, a change of route was deemed advisable, and arrangements were made for her Majesty passing Wednesday night in Gibb's Hotel, Stirling. Sub sequently, however, it was decided that her Ma jesty should not remain a night in Scot land at all, but that the Royal party, by leav ing Balmoral at nine_ o'clock this (Thursday) morning, should post to Cunar-Angus, and then proceed by the Scottish Midland, Scottish Central, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and North British Railways, to the seat of Earl Grey, Howick Hall, Northumberland, where her Majesty will remain for the night. The Royal party will most probably ar rive at Cupar-Angus about two o'clock, and then proceed direct for Edinburgh. At the railway station at Cupar-Angus the splendid royal saloon carriage, which has arrived by the North British Railway from England, will be in waiting to receive her. Her Majesty will arrive in Edinburgh between four and five o'clock, but she will make no stay there. As soon as the engine of the one railway com pany is exchanged for that of the other, which will be the work of only a few minutes, her Majesty will proceed along the North British line, passing to the Newcastle and Berwick line at Berwick, and making no stoppage till she makes Longhoughton station, which is about thirty miles beyond Berwick. Her Majesty will then leave the railway carriage, and drive to Howick, the residence of Earl Grey, about two miles distant. This change in the arrangements had not b ecome genera ll y k nown; for at Stirling yesterday, the railway station was crowded by a large assemblage of people anxious to obtain a glimpse of her Majesty. The Countess Grey, who was accompanied by Lady Duncan, passed through Edinburgh on Monday after noon, to make arrangements for her Majesty's recep tion at Howick. Arrangements for her Majesty's reception in Edin burgh have been made by the authorities. The Queen i s no t expecte d to l eave h er car riage on arriving at the terminus of the North British Railway. The engine will be changed in two or three minut es , w h en the Royal cortege will at once proceed southwards. Every precaution has been taken by the authorities here to secure the comfort of her Majesty and the Royal family in their rapid transit through the city. There is no desire to prevent access to any point of view from which the royal train may be visible, without on the one hand exposing the spectators themselves to the risk of injury, or, on the other hand, rendering any accident to the train in any way possible. The Eastern Prince's street Gardens will be open to the public on the north side over all the space to the north of the lower of two strong stockades which have been erected there. Nobody will be perpitted to pass the lower stockade. And from the south side of the East Gardens the public will be altogether excluded. The nature of the ground, taken in con nexion with the operations now in progress at this spot, make this exclusion imperatively neces sary on the ground of public safety. The West Prince's-street Gardens are of course ac cessible only by permission of those who have keys to them. But effectual means will be adopted to prevent anybody from coming too near the walls close to the railway. There are other points which are in Mae manner to be carefully guarded from all hazard either to the railway or to the public. On the Waverley Bridge we understand that the ma gistrates will permit a row of hackney carriages to stand frcra the curve at Prince's-street, downwards along the palisade for some distance. But all persons will be prohibited from occupying the Waverley Bridge. The North Bridge will likewise be strictly guarded, so as to prevent the people from looking over the parapets. And in general this necessary pre caution with regard to bridges will be everyw here enforced. Sheriff Gordon, with Mr. List, has in spected all the line of railway within the county which her Majesty is to traverse ; and the most im plicit instructions have been issued to prevent any bridge over the railway, of any land, being occupied by anybody on any pretext whatever. A handsome platform is being erected within tha terminus, to afford the Lord Provost and magistrates, Major- General Riddell and his staff, and the railway direc tors and other officials, an opportunity of quietly testifying by their presence their duty to her Majesty. We have no doubt that the utmost regularity and tranquillity will characterise the whole very rapid. proceedings of the day. HER MAJESTY'S WALKS AT BALmonAL.—At the Bridge of Crathie, a short distance from the castle, there is a cluster of cottages. Some of the labourers, and others connected with the grounds, reside there, as well as several persons at the adjacent distillery. Her Ma jesty almost daily passes these in her walks, and is no stranger to the hearths of many of them. H e r visits have been frE quent and most friendly. It appeared that she was anxious to introduce his Royal Highness to the villagers; and, accordingly, they walked out together, going first to the distillery. They visited several houses there, and also examined a bothy, where some of the persons employed in the distillery sleep. On returning, they took the Bridge of Crathie in their way. The houses of the brewers there they also visited, inquiring with much minuteness and interest into their domestic arrangements, and examining their accommodation. Her Majesty wa3 quite familiar. Both conversed with the mistress of the house with much urbanity and frankness, but the Queen had to sustain the principal part of the conversation, his Royal Highness being unable wholly to understand the " auld wife's" meaning until it was put in other language.—North British Mail. NEW ELECTRO-TELEGRAPH PATENT.—The intro duction of the electric telegraph a year or two back ex cited amazement, but the working hitherto of that ex traordinary power has not been worthy of the subtle agency employed. We learn that this most striking in vention of modern times has now been brought to a state of perfection in the working which will cause it to bo generally used. The prices of transmission will be 300 or 400 per cent. under those now charged. A business man at Liverpool, or elsewhere, may communicate with his commercial confidant in London or Pa-is without the possibility of a third party penetrating their secrets, and all this is done with a rapidity unknown to the existing system. The new invention occurred to the minds of an American and an English gentleman almost at the same time. The two patents have now been united, and the working management has been entrusted to excellent hands, Messrs. Wilimer and Smith, of London and Liverpool, whose energy and activity, as representatives of the United States and the metropolitan press during the last thirty years, are familiar to most newspaper readers. These gentlemen will be enabled to print mes sages at the rate of two hundred letters a minute. The French Government have conceded to the English paten tee, Mr. Jacob Brett, the exclusive right of telegraphing between this country and France. Altogether the invention of House and Brett is one of the marvels of the age. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE ARISING OUT OF A DEATH FROM CHOLERA.—Yesterday an inquest was held be fore the Borough Coroner under the following peculiar circumstances:—On Thursday last a girl, aged eight years, residing with her parents in Sherwood-atreet, died, and was buried in St. Martin's Cemetery. It was understood by the neighbours that the child had died of cholera; but on naming the matter to the father and mother of the deceased,• they were informed that there was no troth in the report of the child's death, but that she had gone over to Ireland. One of the neighbours being satisfied that the child was dead, and had been buried in St. Martin's Cemetery, instituted an inquiry, and found that the child's death had been registered as having been caused by cholera, and the party further learnt that the surgeon who certified had never seen Nab deceased during her illness. Information was then given to the coroner, who ordered the body to be exhumed, and at the inquest yesterday the father of the deceased was examined, when he admitted that he had told the neighbours that his daughter was not dead, but gone from home, and that he took this course, and ordered his wife and children to do the same, to prevent any alarm to the neighbours. It appeared from his evidence that no medical man ever saw the deceased during her illness, and that the certificate was obtained upon re presentations made by him. Mr. Woods, surgeon, was next examined, and stated that he had mado a post mortem examination of the body, and was of opinion that the deceased had died of cholera. A. verdict was therefore returned accordingly.—Liverpool Courier. ENGLISH GRATITUDE.—A few days ago a medical man was passing through the Quartier St. Germain, in Paris, when he was attracted by a crowd, in the midst of which he found a poor Englishman smitten by an at tack of apoplexy. He hastened to render him the as sistance that medical aid could afford. Tho next day the medical roan called upon his patient to inquire how he felt. The Englishman asked him what he was to The doctor replied, 10f. for two visits, at sf. each. P . .. Oh," cried the Englishman, " my life is worth more than that;" whereupon he handed the physician a cheque for 500 f.
