M R. lIARDCASTLE'S CURE for ASIATI C CHOLERA 1 And also his.GRAND PREVENTIVE of CHOLERA, or CURE for DIARRIREA., (Common Bowel Complaints), which often precedes Cholera. The astonishing success which has attended the use of the above invaluable 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 iu 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 "Diarrbeea Pow ders" and " Cholera Drops," which have rescued many from prema ture graves, to whom reference can be given. Their great efficacy has caused them to be sa much esteemed in Stockton and the Neigh bourhood, that the Proprietor has now made arrangements for ex tehding 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 " Diarrhaca Powders" are most useful medicines fur 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. The Cholera Drops, is. 110. and 2s. each bottle; Diarrhoea Pawder (to make a gill " doctor's bottle") 10%d. each, stamed. Fall directions with each. The Diarrhoea Powders can be sent by Post to any part of the United Kingdom, on forwardisg twelve postage stamps. 5 * Boards of Guardians and Families desirous of administering the above medicines to the poor, will be supplied at Wholesale Prices. Persons unable to pay, will be supplied Gratis. Invented and Compounded only by W. lIARDCASTLE, Chemist, &c.. Stockton-upon-Tees. IV.

F 11• MAJOR AND HIS WAGER. tq A smart young fellow of the name of Major Reselv'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 ta ale to be laid ; And after that an umpire was to,ffs On one - among the six, And if the one selected from tha 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 chosen was a Mr. Grainger, A man whose taste Is rightly placed, And, I would add, to this a perfect stranger. The time arrived, and Mr. Matthew Major Was all agog to hear about hts 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, A]d one, us 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 PRIM. READY MADE.

BOTOLPII BISII OPSCIATE.—At a vestry meeting, held yesterday, Mr. Smart, the vestry-clerk, in answer to an inquiry from Mr. llopgood, said that a vestry would probably be held the week after m xt, to confirm what had been done with reference to the closing of the churchyard and the vaults. Ho thought it important to state 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 nin". Mr. Ilopgood—And of course, under these circumstances, no more graves will be sold ? Mr. Smart—Certainly not. It was stated by Mr. Preellter that there was now no cholera in the entire ward. It was a remarkable thing that in those localities which adjoined the churchyard, as Ntw Broad-street, and Broad-street-buildings, there had not been a sinvie case. - COLYFORD.—WHERE IGNORANCE is Mass.—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 ho seated himself on the right hand corner of the waggon to drive. Ho 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, one of your wheels is off." This being re ceived as a joke, was met with the ironical request to the informant " puten 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 pet 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, ho pulled up with the usual " 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. fter groping the ditches all the way, it was found at Colyford, where it had been brought by a person who bad found it near Seaton, and who imposed a lien upon it of half 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 ceeded on his way lamenting.—Yeovil Times.

Woodman 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 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 santF, 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 he was, immediately &camped. This seem, witnessed by ono of our correspondents, does not do great credit to the present enlightened century." SINCE LAST MAIL. Patrick Digan, acting surgeon of the Colum bine, and Henry Baker, M.D., surgeon of the Amazon, have exchanged ships. Lieutenant F. Probyn, recently promoted, has been appointed (additional) to the Hastings. Mr. Glyn, midshipman, has been transferred from the Hastings to the Cambrian. Mr. Carneiro Leao, en officer of the Brazilian navy, who came out in the Ilastingc, 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 naviption. Mr. Le lo is an officer of singular zeal and merit, and is much respected in the squadron. The Admiral is much better in health than he has been for some time. The squadron is also healthy. PORTSMOU r if, SEPT. 27.—Captain• Superintendent Sir Edward Parry is on leave of absence, attending the family of his late brother-in-law, the Bishop of Norwich. Captain Henry, of the Royal Marine Artillery, proctetled this morning to Bath, on two months' leave, to recruit his health. Captain Purcell, of the Superb, 80, at Spithead, is not expected 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 leave the harbour. She looks very handsome. Commander Hewlett, of the Excellent, is progress ing favourably towards convalescence after his late acci lent at the stockade. The Persian, 16, Commander Wodehouse, arrived at Halifax on the 13th ult., after a boisterous pas sage of 28 days from Plymouth. She encountered al gale off the Western Islands, and met with a large ship 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 Dundonald, was at Halifax. The Sappho, 12, Commander Alichell, at Vera Cruz. She has been very sickly, and has lost one of her lieutenants (Mr. Dashwood). The Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, would be at Halifax in about three weeks, from Newfoundland. The Wellesley was the only man•of- war at Halifax at the date of our letter. - Woormica, 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 &so 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 until they know who is to command her. The general impression is that the Terrible will be im mediately recommissioned, and take out trJeps to the East Indies, to test her further capabilities , as she ha s 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 oti 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. 2r.—The Pe ninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Montrose, Captain John Bower, railed this afternoon, at two o'clock, with the usual Spanish and Portuguese mails. She has thirty passengers, amongst NI , horn are his Exeollency John B. Clay, the new American Char 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 ho brought by the Iberia, Cap.uin C. F. Burney, due on the 4th of Oc tober. The Ripon, Captain R. Moresby, l‘ith the East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, may he ex• pected about Monday next. The Sultan, Captain George Brooks, leaves on Saturday for Gibraltar, Malts, and Constantinople. LLOYD'S. —A. half-yearly general meeting of the mcinbers of Lloyd's was held on Wcdnesda,y ; Mr. Wm. Chapman Ila,rnett in the chair, iu place of Mr. G. 11. Robinson, M.P., who was prevented atten.ling in con sequence of illness, but who is shortly expected to he able to again preside over the committee of manage ment. The report of the committee, which related solely to internal affairs, was real 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 Statue, a passenger on board the Europa steamer, to mark the reuse entertained of his gallant and disinterested conduct in leaping overboard at great personal risk, and assisting in saving a part of the passengers of the Charles Bart lot, when that vessel was unhappily run down by the Europa steamer on the 27th June las'. WHAT IT COSTS TO PLAY AT SOLDIERS.—France has spent upon its war establishment, from 1831 to 1849, no less than 289,000,0001.! This enormous sum may bo 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 10.000,0001. a year for reviews: really there is no game so expensive as playing at soldiers. Louis Philippe's motto was "La I'aix d tout prix," and ho certainly paid dearly enough for it. According to 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, uearly 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 cud war-practising nations.—Punch. LANspowNa.vovsn.—The Marquis of Lansdowne has, to a considerable degrte, thrown his splendid town mansion and grounds, in Berkeley-square, open to the view of the pubic, by the erection of an iron gate in Berkeley-street, directly opposite hay-hill. ROUTE OF 11ER MAJESTY. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE INDIA AND CHINA SQUADRON. TRINCOMALEE, AUG• 7.-11 er Majesty's steam sloop Fury, Commander Willcox, 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 tilt. the Fury returned from Madras. A small schooner, the Australia, purchased for the colony of New Zealand, at Bombay, and brought hero by the Cambrian, 40, Commodore Pluturidge, C.B , left this place for Singapore on the lst instant, in charge of Lieutenant Webber, of her Majsty's ship Hastings, 72, flag of Hear-Admiral Sir Francis Collier, C. 8., Etc. On her arrival there she will be handed over to the Hon. Captain Keppel i 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 Haat- ings and Cambrian have remained here since the 30th of "June, to afford time for the proceedings of .a board of revision of the dockyard expenditure, composed of the senior officers of both ships; its sittings being now terminated the squadron is 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 once 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 construe• 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 neynard, 11, Commander Cracroft, from England. 140ort says, and (adds our correspondent) .1 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 the officers and crew is most likely to be renovated after 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 Ilastings 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 REVIEW OF THE ROYAL ARTILLERY. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 27.—M. Drouin de ',buy's, Ambassador from France, with Madame Drouin de ',buys and a party of ladies and gentlemen, visited Wpotwich to-day, accompanied by Major-General Fox,.Sidreyor-Geaeral 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. 11.; 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 C;iptain and Adujutant Domville; and the Field Batteries, consisting of three companies, with four light 6 pounder guns each, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, with Captain and Adjutant Rogers ; the whole under the command of Colonel Cruttenden, with Captain Adjutant Radcliffe acting as Aide - de Camp. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Do wnman, 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 tile 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 Horse 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 olonel 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. PARISII OP ST. MART, ADCHURCH.-QUESTION AS TO THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN CHURCIIWARDEN 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 against 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 for 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 Legislature drew a distinction be tween the office of churchwarden 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. Stnith contended that under the authority of the 43.1 Elizabeth, chap. 2, the churchwardens were ex officio overseers. This Act state .1 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. ITockin " (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 Viet., c. 18, which say that notice of objection shall be given to the overseers who shall have made out the llit. It is contended that service upon a churchwarden of the pat ish who hail not signed the list was bad ; but I think an effictual 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." Tie (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'CiatisTir, hell that the services upon the churchwarden were good according to the authorities quoted. ST. BENET, GRACECHURCII.—ADMISSIBILITY 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 had a witness who was pre pared to prove that the landlady's son had 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'CIIRISTIE 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 W B Eileen Rigas, near Wanly, N. ~ the second week in the ensuing month for Drayton Manor,Staffordshire, for the winter. The Bight Hon. Baronet and her Ladyship in tend to snake visits en route to the south, to several dis tinguished friends. Lady Peel and Miss Peel, Levan panied by Captain W. Peel, RN., went ovor 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 afbrded at his shooting box. MINSTER.—That direful disease the measles is very prevalent in this village, several children having recently died from it. It is believed that the late sudden changes in the weather have caused the disease.—Aen- Get U4sorrcr, (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 %% f oal 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 Quo en 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• s. quently, however, it was decided that her Ma jesty should not remain ‘ a night in Scot land at all, Lut that the Ito\ party, by leav ing Balmoral at nine o'cloc this (Thursday) morning, should post to Cupar• Angus, and then proceed by the Scottish Midland, Scottish Central, Edinburgh and Glasgow, and North British Railways, to the seat of Earl Grey, Ilowick 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, bat 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 Longhoughtoa station, which is about thirty miles beyond Berwick. Her Majesty will then leave the railway carriage, and drive to Ilowick, the residence of Earl Grey, about two miles distant. This change in the arrangements had not become generally known ; 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 Ilowick. Arrangements for her Majesty's reception in Edin burgh have been made by the authorities. The Queen is not expected to leave her car riage on arriving at the terminus of the North British Railway. The engine will be changed in two or three mi nu t e s, w hen the Royal cortege will at once p rocee d sout h war d s . E ver y precaution has been taken by the authorities here to secure the comfort of liar 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 ull the space to the north cf the lower of two strong stockades which have been erected there. Nobody will be permitted 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 like manner to be carefully guarded from all hazard either to the railway or to the public. On the Waverley Bridge we understand that the na gistnites will permit a row of hackney carriages to stand from 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 everywhere 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 the 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 BALMORAL..—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 them, 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. Her visits have been frequent 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 alto examined a buthy, where some of the persons employed in the distillery sleep. On returning, they took tho Bridge of Crathio in their way. The houses cf the brewers there they also visited, inquiring with much minuteness and interest into their domestic arrangements, and examining their accommodation. Her Majesty was quite familiar. Both conversed kith 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 ELI CTRO-TELEGRAPII 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 emp!oyed. 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 be generally used. The prices of transmission will be 300 or 400 per cm'. under those now charged. A business man at Liverpool, or elsewhere, may communicate with his commercial conficant in London or Pa is without tha pr,s,ibility 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, Mes - as.!liner and Smith, of Lia-,don and live' pool, whose energy aad 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 he enabled to print mes sages at the rate of two hundred letters a minute. The Fr, rich Government have conceded to the English pa:en tee, Mr. Jacob Brett, the exclusive right of telegraphing between this country and France. Altogether the invention of louse and Brett is one of the marvels of the age. CURIOUS CIRCUMSTANCE ARISING OUT OF A DEATH }Tom CllOLERA.—Yesterday an inquest was held be fore the Borough Coroner Linda the following peculiar cireumstances:—Oa Thur,cl4 last a girl, aged eight years, residing with her parents in Sherwood- street, died, an-I wax 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 truth 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 ben registered as having been caused by cholera, and the party further learnt that the surgeon who certified had never seen the 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 exan3iried, when ho admitted that he had told the neighbours that his daughter was net 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 illnese, and that the certificate wads obtained upon re presentations made by bin-. Mr. Woods, surgeon, was next examined, and stated that he had made a post mortem examiaation of the body, and was of opinion !hat the deceased had died of cholera. 4. verdict was therefore returned accordingly.—Liverpool Courier. ENGLISH GRATITUDE.—A few days ago a medical man Was passing through the Quartier St. Germain, in Pari3, where he was attracted by a crowd, in the midst of which he found a poor Englishman smitten by an at tack of apoplexy. li e hastened to render him the as sistance that med ical aid could . • afford. The next day the medical man called u p on his p atient to in q uire how he felt. The Englishman asked him what he was to o The doctor replied, 10 f. for two visits, at s f. each.
