(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.) G UILDFORD, HALF-PAST ONE. Owing to the wide separation of the polling places (seven in number), and the absence of any telegraphic communication between them, it is impossible to ascer tain accurately the state of the poll. The committee of Mr. Evelyn state, that on the returns from Godalming, Guildford, Farnham, and Chobham, that gentleman is in a majority of 50 over Mr. Edgill. These polling places, it should be remembered, are in the heart of an agricultural district. BANKRUPTCY.--(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. CommissionQr SHEPHERD.) THE PETERSPIELD BANK—IN RE CHARLES COTTON BUTTERFIELD. 24% 9 lit To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who bad carried on business as a banker at Petersfield under the firm of Butterfield and Co. The bankrupt did not surrender at the last meeting, and it was stated that he had gone abroad to avoid his creditors, and he has not since been heard of. Proofs to a considerable amount were tendered or claimed against the late firm, in which Mr. Currie, a solicitor of Lincoln's Inn, was a partner; the partnership, however, was dissolved. An objection was taken to the claims being admitted against the separate estate of the present bankrupt, as there were large assets of the joint estate, and Mr. Currie was also a solvent partner. His Horroun hell that the proof could not be admitted, but the remedy was against the joint estate or the solvent partner. No accounts have been filed, but the debts are esti mated at from 10,000/. to 12,0001., and the assets, in round numbers, at B,OOOL, but subject to a decree in Chancery for a heavy sum. The assignees are Samuel Seward, of Weston, gent., Charles :Parr, of Sheet, gent., and Richard Gale, of Horndean, merchant. The bankrupt, should he not surrender, will be pro claimed outlawed in the usual manner at the rising of the Court. THE SALMON FISHING IN THE NORTH.—The salmon fis.hings in the north closed on Friday last (14th instant). The season, though not very successful, has yet been better than the preceding one. The Doveron has been moderately good, and the principal catch has been grilse, which infallably indicate a good salmon fishing for next year. The Spey river fishing has been much below the average ; and, indeed, it has been de creasing for several years, owing, it is supposed, in some measure, to the great number of bag nets around it, the produce of which has been pretty fair. The Ness fishings have been considerably below an average, caused chiefly by the ravages of the late flood: , . Such, indeed, is the state of most of our Scottish rivers, that it may become a matter worthy of the consideration of the pro• prietors whether they might not profitably follow the example of the Duke of Sutherland, and grant the fish a year of jubilee.—Banffshire Journal. Two MEN SUFFOCATED IN A COAL PIT.—An accident of a melancholy nature occurred at the Garallan coal-works, parish of Cumnock, on Tuesday, by which John Miller and William Hastings lost their lives. They were engaged, along with several others, in drawing the pumps out of a coal-pit. Miller was lowered down the pit on a scaffold suspended by a rope, for the purpose of screwing off a joint. He was heard to give a heavy groan, and one of the men asked if anything was the matter? He received no answer, and Hastings, on the impulse of the moment, slid himself down by the rope to see if anything was wrong. He reached the scaffold in safety, but did not return any answer to the inquiries of those on the pit head regarding Miller, and immediately after Hastings was observed to fall powerless from off the scaffold into the water below. It was then observed, for the first time, that the pit was charged heavily with carbonic acid gas, or, as the colliers term it, " choke-damp," and this tact at once accounted for the accident. They then commenced to pull the scaffold (with Miller on it) cau tiously up the pit, and dispatched a messenger to Cum nock for medical assistance. Mr. Sharpe was in attend ance at the pit month before Miller was got out, but human skill was of no avail. There being at the time about 50 feet of water in the pit, the body of Hastings was not got out till the following morning, after mae sures had been taken to clear the pit of gas. Both of the; deceased were married, and have left wives and families to lament their untimely fate.—Ayr Observer.

We asked him why ho wept, mother, Whene'er we found the spots Where periwinkle crept, mother, O'er wild Forget•me•nots: " Ah, me!" he said, while tears ran down As fast as summer showers, " It is because I cannot see The sunshine and the flowers."

ELIZA COOK. 4 0 2 17 HER MAJESTY'S DEPARTURE FROM BALMORAL. WEDNESDAY, SETT. 19, 1840. As the period of her Majesty's departure approaches, the inhabitants of Deeside—particularly of its upper districts—appear to be feeling, in all its intensity, the sentiment so poetically expressed by the unfortunate deceased poet, Thom : " She leaves when Autumn, wearie, Bids Winter waste the plain— She looks on lands mair cheerie, Till our's are green again. Oh! would SUE dwell amarg us, When dales are deep in snaw, Dour winter couldna wrang us, Nor Simmer seem awa l . However your correspondent may sympathise with, and admire these beautiful lines, there can be no doubt that even the talismanic effect of her Majesty's presence, and the halo of joy and happiness which accompanies her, would be too dearly bought at the expense of her making a winter residence of Balmoral. Already are the days creeping in and becoming chilly, while the frost-covered moors intimate fre quently to the early riser that "dour winter" is ap proaching with no tardy strides. It seems now to be definitely fixed that her Majesty will leave Balmoral on the 26th instant. (Wednesday, next week), proceeding by the same route to Perth which she followed in coming north, via ,- Spittal of Glenshee and Blaergowrie to Perth, where she will remain during Wednesday at the Royal George Hotel. A. special train on the Scottish Central has been ordered for Thursday morning, by which her Majesty will proceed to the junction at Greenhill, and thence by the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway, through Edinburgh, and by the North British, York and Newcastle, and Midland Railways to Derby, where her Majesty will pass Thursday evening, resuming her journey en route for the Isle of Wight, on the following day. I have, as usual, little to chronicle in the proceed ings of her Majesty —not, I need hardly assure you, because there is nothing interesting to report, but simply because we must not encroach on the retire ment which it is so well known her Majesty desires. Still, there is a certain limit, beyond which the anxiety of a loyal and affectionate people cannot be kept—a limit which I feel assured her Majesty fully recognizes. As I informed you in my last, the weather was very bad during the earlier part of the past week, and her Majesty was more than usual kept within doors. On Thursday, however, the face of the heavens brightened, and the royal excursions were resumed. On that day his Royal Highness Prince Albert had splendid sport in Bsllochbuie Forest, where he killed no fewer than five splendid stags. Her Majesty, as usual, showed her subjects a good and pious example on the last Sabbath-day, by attending the parish church, when a sprinkling of strangers augmented the usual congregation. The clergyman—who is a very uncouth looking gentle man—seems to be acquiring greater confidence in the royal presence than he was wont to exhibit. — Court Journal. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, SEPT. 22. Her Majesty drove out yesterday afternoon, accom panied by the Princess Royal, Princess Alice, and Prince His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, rode out on horseback. The Royel dinner party this evening will include Lady Perlman, Mr. and, Mrs. Farquharson, of Invercauld, and 1)r. Robertson. Her Majesty will leave Balmoral on Wednesday next, the 26th. Sir David Davies left town yesterday afternoon for the Priory, Stanatore, the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Dispatches from the Governors of the West India Colonies, and also from the Governor of Bermuda, were received yesterday at the Colonial-eflice. CRICKET.—A match came off on Sparkes's ground, Edinburgh, on Saturday, between eleven gentlemen of Edinburgh and the Edinburgh garrison, for 2001. aside, which, notwithstanding the unpropitious state of the wea ther, attracted a vast concourse of spectators. It having been agreed that if the match was nut finished in one day,' the first innings should decide it, it will be seen from the numbers affixed that the gentlemen gained the victory, they having scored 125 to their opponents 58. The game stood thus at the end of the day's play:—Gen tlemen, first innings, 125; second, 70; military, first innings, 58; second, 60. DEATH OF CAPTAIN AP4LLAR.---This highly respected officer was a native of Greenock, where he died on the 17th inst., and is a fine instance of what may be done by steady exertion and uniform good conduct. He entered the navy without any patron, and advanced himself rapidly to the rank of master, which he obtained in 1796, more than half a century ago. On the return of the Stadtholder to Holland, in 1813, he served in the Warrior, under Lord Torrington, and on the termination of hostilities in Europe, returned to pursue an active and successful life in the mercantile marine, from which he had retired some years to a real state of "otium cum dignitate," and, as the promoter of everything rational, social, and good, showed a bright example to his fellow men. his memory will long be cherished.

SECOND EDITION OF "KING ARTHUR, AN EPIC POEM IN TWELVE BOOKS By Sir Edward Bzilwer Lytton Our admiration of this splendid effusion of genus —the masterpiece of one of the most remarkable minds of this generation—has been nobly verified. Its popularity. has already commenced; and that popu larity, we are satisfied, is not ephemeral, but vi ill prove, on the contrary, of an elevated and enduring character. On the occasion of its first appearance we endeavoured to subject the poem of "King Arthur" to such a severe and scrutinizing analysis that we find but little left for us to say now, beyond the simple announcement of its republication. It is due, never theless, to the illustrious author to remark that the present edition has undergone a very careful and laborious supervision; and that wherever any reason able objections have been entered in the way of cri ticism, there the text has been submitted to emenda tion. We are proud to know that we ourselves may be numbered amongst . those reviewers whom Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton has thus honoured with his coinci dence. The plenary spirit with which the literary journalist reverently proffered his suggestions has been shared by the poet in the collation of his original manuscript. "King Arthur" must now win for itself the admiration to which it is entitled by its numerous and exquisite beauties. Henceforth its fame must rest upon its own intrinsic excellence. All that its creator could effect in its regard has been accomplished—the last touches of his pencil, still glowing with the warmth of novelty, and still bloom ing with the freshness of adolescence, have been im parted—whatever was crude or jejune has been ripened by correction—the work, so far as the capacities of the writer are concerned, has attained the period of its completion. Conscious of this, we do not consider ourselves premature when we tender, as we do, our most earnest felicitations to Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton on the fulfilment of his des tiny, on the achievement of his highest success, and the attainment of his loftiest ambition. In him the future critic cannot fail to recognize a brilliant evi dence that the most extreme versatility is not incom patible with the most felicitous adventure. Yearning, as he has undeniably done throughout his career, to acquire celebrity as a man of letters, our author has obtained the most signal triumphs not in one alone, but in all the various and, until now, apparently incongruous departments of literature. In prose and poetry, in romance and biography, in fictitious and historical narrative, as a lyrist and as an essayist, as a bard and as a dramatist, in comedy and in tragedy, he has successively advanced andsuccessfully retreated. Unlike Sir Walter Scott, he has commenced with prose fiction and terminated with heroic and chivalric poetry: And his last production has surpassed all its predecessors. In the preface to " King Arthur," Sir Edward very judiciously exclaims—" On this foun dation I rest the least perishable monument of those thoughts and those labours which have made the life of my life." Each perusal of a poem which we have read more than once assures us that in so speaking he has formed a correct estimate of his powers and of their performances. It were well for his renown, as a novelist, if the same pure and rarified atmosphere had been always re spired by his imagination, during the intervals of the composition of his earlier writings, as that atmosphere which he has breathed in his poetical and of late also in his prose productions. It were well if the sensual genius of French romance had never exercised over his fine, but occasionally distorted, in tellect its pernicious fascination. It were well if some of the more youthful novels of Bulwer had been cha racterised by the sweet and wholesome morality of the last two novels of Lytton—by the unsullied merits of " Harold," and the gentle and humanizing tone of the " Caxtons." Now that the collected works of this distinguished man are being re-issued in a form such as will extend their popularity by scattering them more widely throughout the population, we would most earnestly suggest to him the increase of his labours of emendation. Five of his admirable fic tions have already been completed in the cheap edi• tion ; and yet our respectful suggestion comes not too late, seeing that in none of those five do we recog nise the necessity for corrections such as those to which we are alluding. In saying this, Sir Bulwer Lytton will perceive that we are not among the hypercritics whom he has so very logically refuted in the mas terly pamphlet penned by him as a vindication from their aspersions. Our hint at emendation is directed along a very different channel. For, with him, we are satisfied that the delineation of great and tragic crimes, such as those committed by Lucretia, and such as those wrongfully imputed to Aram is strictly within the province of a literary moralist; and that, if handled as he has endeavoured to handle them, they are calculated to exercise a bitter but salutary influence over the community of readers. What we cannot, however, regard as bene ficial in this or in any other analogous walk of lite rature is that roseate and impassioned delineation of vice which ravishes the heart and intoxicates the brain with its voluptuousness. Tell us not that our feelings in this particular are the feelings of a prude, and that our objections are the objections of a fribbler in morality. Talk not of the lessons of virtue incul cated through the medium of these bewitching por traitures of depravity. We are neither blind to the truths of common sense nor deaf to the arguments of right reason—we know, and feel, and see that the effects of this fictitious licentiousness, especially when accompanied by the seductive tones of eloquence and clothed with the resplendent decorations of genius, are not to be counteracted by an ejaculation of re morse, or by a sentence expressive of awe for reli gion, however cleverly turned or sententiously arti culated, We are conscious, moreover, that the noble intellect of a man like this stands in no need of any such meretricious assistance. That a writer with a corruptible reputation, as for example Charles Paul de Kock, should have recourse to such tricks of passion to win his way to the darker nerves and pulses of humanity, to make them thrill and throb at his bid ding, is not surprising. But that a man gifted with such extraordinary and diversified faculties should condescend to the emulation of minds so inferior; that he who can at pleasure place his band upon the noblest chords of our nature and make them vibrate to the measure of his inspirations, should ever, even for a moment, interrupt the melodies of a lyre dropt from heaven t " the lascivious breathings of a lute" picked from the kennel, has been to us matter of earnest regret and deep astonishment. Hence we have spoken. Our regard, or rather we should say, our admiration for the genius of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton prompts the suggestion. We would see his collected works, fraught as they are with beauties, purified from those casual blemishes. Without making any invidious catalogue of the passages we yearn to know have passed under his own generous emendation, we may refer as examples to an incident befalling Ernest Maltravers and another occurring to Lumley Ferrers. Our anxiety to wit ness this expurgation has been enhanced by the con trast afforded by the two latest of the prose and pceti cal productions of the poet-novelist of England—the pure and beautiful story of the " Caxtons ' and the untarnished splendour of " King Arthur." Of the latter, as a superb national epic, we do not hesitate to predict that its appearance will hereafter be ranked among the most memorable literary events of our, generation—an anticipation which is fully justified when we reiterate that it is the masterpiece of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton. THE TOWER-WATER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STR,—The Tower of London, which, prier to the draining of its moat, was notoriously one of the most unhealthy garrisons in the country, has since taken a much higher position in a sanitary point of view, still it has had to contend against a disadvantage of no ordinary kind, namely, a deficiency of water. Through the columns of The Sun the proposal for the removal of the moat (or ditch, more correctly speaking) first emanated—and through the same medium let it be known that the latter evil no longer exists. A communication has, during the present week, been made between the fortress and the Ar tesian well at the Royal .Mint, by which means a bounteous supply of pure spring•water will be con stantly available to the troops therein stationed. I need not expatiate on the value of such a blessing at such a time, and am persuaded that you will be deeply gratified to hear such news. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, Sept. 22, 1849. AQWEIUS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Can England do nothing to testify her ad miration of the heroic Garibaldi, who is described, in a letter written by a lady at Rome, as being " as good as he is brave, and more of a French cavalier than all the French army put together." I would suggest that a penny, or sixpenny subscription be got up throughout the kingdom, and that with the proceeds (which I have no doubt will be considerable) a sword, designed after the old Rman fashion, be purchased avid presented to the General, with this, or a similar inscription : THE FEOFLE OF ENGLAND TO GARIBALDI, THE DEFENDER OF ROME. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, LIBERTA& Ilfracombe, Sept. 24th, 1849. THE SILK TRADE OF CHESHIRE.—It is gratifying to state that the staple trade of Macclesfield and Congle ton; the two great seats of the silk trade in Cheshire, continues in a thriving and healthy condition. Weavers are in demand, and all the dye-houses arc in full and constant employment. The silk trade, up to a late period, had been in a drooping state, and- the working classes engaged in it bad suffered much and seveyo pri vation. At present the 'Awning population are in com paratively easy circumstances, and the cheapness of food adds much to their domestic comforts. MARY LEBONE THEATRE. Mrs. Mowatt made her debiil for the season here last evening, as Beatrice in Much Ado about Nothing. This is one of the most perfect of Mrs. Mowatt's Shaksperian impersonations. Vivacious and witty, yet lady-like withal, her representation of Beatrice is at the same time spirited and graceful, pointed and polished. She was admirably supported by Mr. Davenport, whose Benedict is one of the best on the stage. They were called for at the conclusion of the comedy, and Mrs. Mowatt was nearly overwhelmed beneath a shower of bouquets. The theatre was crowded to the ceiling. MEETING OF MASTER BAKERS IN ST. PANCRAS —Yesterday evening a numerous meeting of muter and journeymen bakers was held at the Argyle Tavern, Liverpool-street, King's-cross, to establish a district House of Call and Benefit Society, for the mutual co operation and support of the masters and journeymen bakers in the district of King's cross, Somers-toen, Tottenham Court-road, and Camden-town, with a coffee, reading-room, and library for the use of the members; to establish a Trade Protection Society for the master bakers of the district; and also to establish a District Branch Association, in connexion with the Operative Bakers' Society, to obtain a diminution of the hours of labour, and the abolition of night-work in the baking trade, Mr. IL M. Nevill, of Sidmouth-street, in the chair. Resolutions were adopted to the effect, that a legislative enactment was necessary to remove the evils consequent on the undue amount of labour exacted from the men ; and that the meeting pledge itself to support the Opera tive Bakers' Society in that object; also that for the better organization and improvement of the members of the trade in that district, an institution be established for their accommodation, convenience, &c., and that a committee of masters and men be appointed to carry the object into effect. THE MURDER IN LAMBETH.—Yesterday afternoon an inquest was held at the George Tavern, Lambeth, by Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, on the body of Louisa Charlotte Watson, an infant, who was drowned by her father in the water butt on Thursday evening last. The facts of the case, as already stated, were clearly proved, and, under the direction of the Coroner, the jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder" against Henry Watson, the father. There is, however, no doubt that the unfortunate man was insane at the time that ho committed the act, though that question is, of course, re served for another tribunal. NIGHT GLEANING.—A novel mode of plunder has been practised in South Devon during the harvest. I❑ the wheat fields, after it has been cut and stood in stitches, some night marauders have, with a sharp in strument, by handfuls cut the flush of the ears end carried them away. Mr. Adams, of .Woodleigh Farm, lost in one night about one bag of wheat, and Mr. King, of Cross Farm, Loddiswell, a similar quantity, and one farmer of Kingbridge from three to tour bags.—Sher borne Mercury. .., 161 IV ••• ~, 3 0 • • • ••• 3 ••• 3 ... 16 0 ... ••• 0 7 2 22 . , 184 •.• 2 ... 77 ... 12 ... 10 ... 0 ... 2 ... 0 ... 3 ... o ... 2 ... o ... o .. . 0 ~~~i~~ S U N =!

The experiments were on a stockade, made of some of the oak timbers of ber Majesty's brig Curlew, lately broken up in this dockyard, against which a charge of 51b. of gunpowder in a flannel car tridge was placed on the ground, close to the bottom of the defence, which was fired by four feet of Bick ford's match. The stockade stood the shock, and was not in the least injured. A charge of 101 b. of pow der, similarly enveloped, was next hung about three feet from the ground and fired in like manner, and with a similar result. A third trial was then made with 51b. of powder, in a flannel cartridge, over which a large bag of sand, weighing about 1201 b., was put, which was fired in the same manner as the former. This blew down three'planks of the stockade, and threw the fragments in all directions, some of the splinters being blown a considerable distance. We re gret to say the experiments were brought to a close by an accident happening to Commander Hewlett, of the Excellent, who was struck on the left leg by one of the splinters, and knocked down. Much alarm was excited, and surgical aid instantly sent for, and was immediately rendered from her Majesty's ships Illus trious and Excellent, and Dr. Nutt, of the latter ship, conveyed the sufferer on board her, where every attention that skill and judgment could render was paid. As far as we can glean, and as far as may be judged from the very swollen state of the limb, we believe we are correct in stating no bones are broken, but the patient is suffering great pain. We trust the experiments will be continued to a satisfactory close, as we know of no point in an officer's education of more importance than practical instruction in the approach to and attack of stockades, which the dis astrous results of the Heki pah warfare in New Zea land, in 1846, most amply proved. Captain Gordon, of the Cormorant, has arrived in London from Germany, and is expected here to morrow to take up his appointment to the Encounter steam- corvette. The Myrtle steam•tender, Master• Commander Bradden, returned from Plymouth this morning with marines and seamen paid off from the Scout. The seaman Bunday, who fell from the masthead of the Tartar yacht, at Spithead, during the contest between that vessel and the Drift for 1001. aside, expired of the injuries received at five o'clock last night, leaving a wife and child to mourn his premature loss. Wind—S. S. W.; light breezes and fine weather. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 24.—The Monkey steam vessel, Master Commander W. Bryant, embarked Captain Flude's company, 7th battalion Royal Artillery, with detachments of the 2d, 3d, 7th, Bth, and 9th battalions, at the dockyard, at six o'clock, A.m., and conveyed them to Greenhithe, where they were transferred to the Hercules store-ship for a passage to Gibraltar, and the detachments to fill up the companies at the stations on the Mediterranean. The Terrible steam•frigate, Captain Ramsey, is ordered to retain her guns on board, and will he paid off without being dismantled, and all that will be required to render her again fit for service will soon be Effected. Several of the articles have been recovered from the Bee lighter, which sank along side of her, but the vessel has not been raised. IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE SANITARY COMMITTEE. Last evening a meeting of emergency of the Sani tary Committee, convened by Mr. Corder, the cleric to the Guardians, by direction of Mr. Poolton, the Chairman of the Committee, was held in the Board room at the Workhouse. At the hour of meeting (half-past five o'clock) there was a numerous attend ance of the committee, consisting of Mr. Poolton, their zealous chairman ; Mr. Dee, the Chairman, and Mr. Allday, the Vice-Chairman of the Board of Guardians ; Messrs. Ilebbert, Mason, Beale, Jfbn Hinks, Joseph Hinks, Mills, Collins, Heaton, J. W. Lloyd, Maiden, and others. The CHAIRMAN reported that he had received a letter that morning, the contenis of which he would submit to the committee ; and he further stated that, considering the serious nature of such communication, he lost not a moment in directing Mr. Corder to convene that meeting ; and he trusted, when they heard the letter read, they would deem its importance a sufficient apology for calling the committee to gether on the Sabbath-day.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Poolton then read the communication as follows " Birmingham, 23d September, 1849. " Sir,—l have been informed that the Cavalry have been removed from the Barracks at Coventry in conse quence.. of several deaths from cholera. At the prt sent time there are four or five soldiers not tit to be removed. I understand that the barracks there are to be taken charge of by a guard: from the Infantry Barracks here, and to be relieved every seven or ten days by a fresh party from here—the others returning to the quarters at Beardsworth's. In my humble opinion I don't think that is fair for the inhabitants. If you agree with me, Colonel Arbuthnot is the gentleman to see, at his office, Vauxhall, about eleven A.BL—I am, &e." The name of the writer of the letter did not transpire. Mr. ALLDAY stated that he had seen the captain of the infantry at the barracks in Cheapside that morn ing, on the subject of the communication received by their chairman, who had communicated the Same to him, and that the gallant captain admitted the truth of such statement, and informed him that he had, by order of the commandant, sent some of his men frcm Birmingham to take charge of the barracks at Co ventry, where the cholera was now raging, and that such men were to be relieved on Saturday next. These communications created quite a sensation in the meeting; and Mr. DEE strongly protested against the introduc tion of any of the military from Coventry into the town under the circumstances ; and if driven to such an alternative he, for one, would join his brother townsmen in opposing their entrance.—(Hear.) It was then moved by Mr. ALLDAY , seconded by Mr. BEALE, and resolved—" That Mr. Dee and the Chairman be requested to wait on Colonel Arbuthnot this (Monday) morning, for the purpose of remon strating, on the part of the Sanitary Committee and the inhabitants of Birmingham, against the proposed removal of any of the troops from Coventry into this town." Aftcr the transaction of some other business the committee adjourned. We are happy to add that no further case of cho lera was reported to the committee. As cleanliness and pure water are strongly recom mended by the Board of Health, it is satisfactory to know that the authorities of the Birmingham Water Works Company have, at the suggestion of the rani• tary committee, resolved to furnish the town daily with a copious supply of water. It is a remarkable fact, and one that ought to form a subject for deep and reverent thankfulness to the Almighty disposer of events, that whilst the prevail ing pestilence is committing its awful ravages, and daily sweeping off its numerous victims in so many other districts, _including the metropolis itself, the -borough of Birmingham, with a population exceeding 200,000, souls, has had but one indigenous case of bliolera.—Aris's Birmingham Gazette, Sept. 24. THE PREMIER AND THE CIRCU- LATING SOCIE TY OF REVOLUTIONISTS. TO THE EDITOR OF TEE SUN. Six,—The Governor of Malta could not allow the Roman refugees to land, as they might possibly belong to that formidable society—a society evidently omnipotent, and also omnipresent. They first inflamed all Sicily, then Paris, Berlin, Naples, Vienna, Milan, Prague, Venice, Rome, Frankfort, Florence, Baden and Hungary. Why, they even attempted a revolu tion amongst us on the 10th of April ; but, meeting with such bad success, I question whether they did not open their travelling bag to let out the cholera upon us. They are well provided with gold, they speak the language of every country, and they have only to present themselves in any metropolis, cad immediately the throne is upset. Seeing , however, that thrones still maintain themselves, some by fair and some by foul means, they are now all gone off to California to collect a new supply of gold. Why, surely Mr. More O'Ferrall must be almost as great a statesman as Lord John Russell himself, and quite as penetrating and humane. C. S. THE RUSII TO CALIFORNIA.—Somebody has fur nished us with the following dialogue, which occurred in this town a few days since between a shipowner and a stringer:—Stranger—" flow much do y ou as k M r. ---for a cabin passage to California?" Shipowner— One hundred dollars, cash down, in advance; but I cm% take you; all full in the cabin." Stranger— " Well, suppose I go in the hold; how much do you atk Eighty dollar s; b u t I can ' t take then?" Shipowner —" you—hold is full." Stranger—" But can's Igo in the sore peak? What is the price of a passage there?" Shipowner—Eigty dollars; but I can't take you. Full fore and aft." Stranger—" Well, can't Igo aloft some where—and suppose I do, what will you charge?" Ship owner—" We charge eighty dollars to go anywhCre; but can't carry you aloft; got to carry provisions there." Stranger—lt's a hard case, isn't it.. But I wart to go tolerably bad! what will you charge to tow me?" The shipowner retreated suddenly,:and didn't make his ap pearance again tll the vessel had sailed.—Sandwich island Polynesian. SUDDEN DEATII.-011 Saturday last an inquest was held by Mr. James Lewis, coroner for Roeli(ster, on board her Majesty's ship Royal George, lying in Salt pan Rash, between Chatham and Sheerness, to inquire into the cause of death of George Brown, a lad nine years of age, son of Mr. Hudson Brown, a warrant officer in charge of the above ship, whose death was oc casioned in the following singular manner:—Deceased, whilsv walking from the ward-room to the cabin for the purpose of cutting a candle, carrying with him a pair of scissors, tripped and fell, when the point of the scissors pierced the jugular vein just under the jaw- bone, which caused almost instantaneous death.
