AN ESSAY on the ELECTIVE FRAN CHISE and the REJECTED BILL. By GEORGE CONDY, Esq. Barrister-at-law. London : James Cochrane and Co., 11, Waterloo place, Pall-mall. Manchester; C. H. Lewis, Market street. COURT OF ALDERMEN. A very unusual scene took place in this Court, on Tuesday last. Our reporter was not permitted to enter, but he collected the following particulars . . from various impartial sources : About one o'clock the Lord 4ayor entered, ac companied by Aldermen Thorp, Thompson, Kelly, Wil-on, and Cowan, who were followed in a short time by Aldermen Garrett and Copeland. Al though there was much business, as well as inquests waiting, and brokers to be sworn, a Court was not formed till past two. It is usual at the first Court of the new Mayoralty to move a vote of thanks to the late Lord Mayor, but as the brokers had been detained upwards of an hour before the Court was made, they were first called in. Alderman THORP then said that he had great pleasure in moving, a vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor for his conduct during the past year. He felt satisfied that the resolution would be passed unanimously, as it cautiously avoided all allusion to politics. Alderman THOMPSON bad the greatest pleasure in seconding the motion, in every sentiment of which he most cordially agreed. Alderman COPELAND never rose with greater difficulty than on the prtsent occasion; for although he fully agreed with the mover and secomder that she vote did not contain one word in which all could not fully agree, yet an imperative sense of duty to himself, and the respect he felt for the high and re- sponsible station he held as a Member of that Court, compelled him to perform the painful duty of oppos ing the motion of thanks. He would never consent,' while he held a place there, that the rights and pri vileges of the Court should be frittered away. They had been deprived of their just rights and privileges by the result of the late election. They had been most unjustly deprived of them; and he should never cease to regret that they had not continued firm in their opposition to such an unjust aggression. lie felt ashamed of himself for not having continued his opposition, by voting again at the last election in opposition to his Lordship ; but, (and he blushed when he stated it) he dared not. He was afraid to vote as he wished. His property and his person hail been threatened if he did. his Worship con- eluded by moving the previous question. Alderman WAITHMAN rose to second the amend ment. He was astonished that Alderman Thorp had introduced the motion of thanks to an indivi- dual who, instead of attending entirely as he ough to have attended, to the Magisterial duties of the office, had lent himself to all manner of schemes only for the purpose of gaining popularity, and who, by proettating all the influence of his office to support the political views of himself and party, had rendered the office altogether a political one. When be (Alderman Waithman) was Lord Mayor, he would have nothing to do with politics, and he had per formed the whole duties of the office without sub jecting himself to reproach. The Lord Mayor had grossly insulted that Court in his letter of the 28th of September, wherein he stated, that if the system of rotation were adhered to, the elective franchise would be a mere farce, and the election would lie in the Court of Aldermen. He for one would declare boldly that any other body had no right to deprive the Court of Aldermen of their rights. As a body that Court had eternally disgraced themselves by giving way in so cowardly a manner to an attempt to vindicate them. For himself he should never cease to regret the vote they had come to cn the first election. The Livery of London, by re-electing, and the Court of Aldermen by foolishly Ruling way, had held out to the world that the Lord Mayor possessed more talent than any of the other members of the Court, and that he had fulfilled the duties of his station more honourably than ever be fore had been the case. Now he lAlderman \V.) would unhesitatingly state that there was not a single duty of any kind or sort to which the Lord Mayor had ever attended; and while a set of individuals had re-elected the Lord Mayor, who had never per formed one duty, they had insulted himself, who had served them for forty years most faithfully. In com mon justice they ought to have elected him, who had so much, instead of the Lord Meyer, who had done less than nothing. Alderman GARRETT would not vote at all, and hoped the Hon. Mover would not press his motion. Alderman HEYGATE would bear testimony that the splendour and hospitality of the Mansion-house had never been surpassed by any former Mayoralty. The kindness which he, as well as every othermem ber of the Court, had invariably received from the Lord Mayor, must endear him privately to all of 'hem ; but he (Alderman Ht ygatt) sincerely re gretted that the Lord Mayor had made the office toLtical. He agreed with Alderman Garrett in hopeig that the motion would not be persevered in, Alderman WILSON was surprised to find any of his brethren so far suffering t he mortification of a defeat, as to get the better of their honourable feelings. As to his Lordship's hospitality, from ail he had heard or seen, it had never been surpassed, if ever it had been equalled. According to one Worthy Alderman's statement, the Lord Mayor did not possess one good quality of any kind or sort whatever. Ile really was astonished how men of honourable feelings could so far forget themselves, as to suffer any disappoint ment to induce them to adopt such a course. Alderman COWAN fully concurred in r,hat had fallen from Alderman Wilson. The LORD MAYOR said that With regard to the remarks made by those whose political feelings were opposed to his, he felt the same respecta4 if they had joined in the vote ; but as to the paltry feeling which arose from an exasperated disappointment, he certainly entertained a mixed ft chits', one part of which seas compassion. In fine, he hoped the deci sion would be as speedy as possible. Alderman WAITHMAN denied that he had any wish to be Lord Mayor again, Ile declared that if the motion were persisted in, he should count the Court. Alderman WILSON was surprised to hear the threat to count the Court, when there was no chance of success for the amendment. There were not thirieen present, and of course, if the Court were wanted, the motion must fall to the ground. The Court had been broken up on Saturday last by the same Worths , Ald e rman, and if the same plan were now adopted the public business would suffer con siderable impediment. Aldermen Thew and THOMPSON pressed the vote, but Alderman WAITHMAN counted the Court, which of course broke up. _ The Countess 0f JERSEY, the Countess of ciIiNaALL, the Cotmtess of WiN,:tirt.r,xA, and Lady.

LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 17, 1831: COUNCIL OFFICE. IVIIITF.HALL, Nov. 16, 1631. In confirmation of the cautionary measures recommended by the Central Beard of Health, ender date of the 14th instant, with regard to the use of saline medicines during the existence of epidemic diseases, we are authorised to pablisli the following extract of a letter from Dr. Daun, dated Sunderland, the 14th inst.:— " One of the cases of malignant chalera which has just occurred I was called in to see; the patient felt slightly indisposed yesterday morning, about seven o'clock, with slight uneasiness in her bowels. About ten a.m. she took a dose of Epsom salts before she sent for any medical man to see her ; in about an hour after taking the salts she was seized with spasms, and began to sink. I was asked to see her in the evening, which I did, but when I arrived at her house she was inarticula mortis ; she died in about an hour after I saw her. It is one of the least malignant cases of malignant cholera which has oe• curred since my arrival here. Having in India seen the dis ease in several instances supervene after the administra tion of a dose of Epsom salts, I have thought it might be of use to caution the public against the use of saline purgatives, and I have caused a notice to be circulated, recommending in their stead rhubarb, magnesia, and ginger,. or any other warm aromatic powder, during the continuance of the epidemic." SOUTHAMPTON and LONDON RAILWAY. (From the ilamprldr; Advertiser and Salisbury Guardian.) On Tuesday the landowners of Winchester aiid s neighbourhood met to inepect the engineer's pro- posed line of road. As early as nine o'clock in the morning gentlemen commenced arriving at the George Inn, where maps of the plan were spread out on different tables, and the room appropriated to _ . the purpose was crowded till twelve o'clock, the hour appointed for the meeting in the Grand Jury Chamber. Among the gentlemen who attended the George were noticed, Sir W. H atheote, Bart., Sir Thomas Baring, Bart., Colonel Wall, and several other of the principal landed proprietors of the . . county, in addition to several of the clergy con nected with the College awl other departments of the Church, the Mayor and Magistrates of the city, and many of its wealthy inhabitants. As the prin cipal object was to obtain the apurobation of the city of Winchester, and the landowners in its neigh bourhood, to the proposed line, that subject was then so far elucidated that there was less occasion after wards for lengthened details. Sir Thos. BARING, Bart. being unanimously called to the chair, said he would take it pro forma. Having in another place expressed his opi nion on the selected line, he did not yet feel au thorised to go further, for beyond it he had indeed very little information. It was only on the previous evening he hail read a very able speech of Colonel Henderson's, and a comprehensive report of Captain Stephena's. Theae publications, though truly credit able to their composers, and perhaps satisfactory to those who had the benefit of additional informa tion,—did not yet enable him to feel justified in re commending a work of such magnitude, and involving so vast an expence, to the hasty adoption of the gentlemen who had done him the honour to place him in the chair. As a private individual connected with the county, he should be ready, even if he should ultimately disapprove of this measure, to al low theportion of his land, which it appeared would be required ; to be taken fur the purpose in the event of its being generally adopted; but in the position he then occupied it behoved him to recom , mend to the gentlemen around him fully to investi gate the merits of the case, to ascertain how the mercantile interests felt on the occasion, as well as the landed interests on other parts of the line. Per haps the managing directors present were prepared to give satisfactory information. He should be glad to receive it; but until he had, he felt it his duty to abstain from offering anything that may be con strued into a pledge to support so vast an under taking. These manly sentiments of the Worthy Baronet were loudly applauded. Colonel HENDERSON stated that the Directors had endeavoured, by every means in their power, to spew the great advantages of carrying the proposed work into execution, and for that purpose had pub lished several statements, which had been exten sively circulated. He would not, therefore, take up their time in repeating arguments which had al ready been placed before them in another shape, but would read a short statement which had been drawn up under the inspection of the Directors, and which would point out some of the leading features of the undertaking, and would embrace some calculations which it would have been impossible for him to have committed to memory. lie stated that the subject had now been before the county for upwards of a year, and during that time every means have been resorted to for giving publicity to the under aking, and for courting that investigation without which no work of this nature ought to proceed. Hitherto no opposition has been offered; on the contrary, all classes agree in acknowledging the great benefits which must result from the measure. It has been long a desideratum to obtain a direct coramunica tion between the metropolis and the BrritiestliteaCblainty nel for goods, and, as far back. as the year 1809, Mr. Rennie, in his report upon the pa of unit ug the Basingstoke Canal with the Itchen navigation, adverts to a railway Ira a means of passing a summit level between Wi n _ cheater and Basingstoke. There is no novelty, therefore, in the present suggestion ; and tfie Directors claim no merit on that head. Their de-ire has been, by tie most effectual means, to supply the deficiency of a communication so long crated for ; and, after a loeg and laborious investiga tion, they have come to the conclu-ion that th e line of railway now proposed will not only eminently conduce to the benefit of the country- and town , near which it will pasq, but will yield to the sub scribers an ample return for their capital. The com pany, in their prospectus, state that no public work can offer greater advantages than this promises to yield to all classes of persons. It will afford certain and increasing employment to thousands of the labouring population—it will open markets for the whole agricultural produce of the Southern and Western parts of England—it will give increased facillies to travelling and commerce—and, in realiz ing all these important national and local a dvantages, it will secure to the shareholders an ample return on their capital. On the first of these advantages, as stated in the prospectus, namely, the employment of the labouring classes, I shall beg leave to offer a few words. There is not, perhaps, one person here present who will not admit that to find employ merit for the labouring classes is at all times, but more particularly at the present, an object of the greatest importance. We, every One of us, feel the heavy pressure of the poor-rates—we know, end would strive to alleviate, the diatresses of the poor. Now, it is manifest that it a work, such as that now pro posed, were to be carried into effect, every iada s 7 trious and able-bodied labourer in the parishes cone tiguous to the line might find full e and constant ens ployment. >f we can, therefore, urge forward measure productive of such benefits, are we not called upon, by every tie that can bind society togee ther, to use our utmost exertions in such a cause ? If we can carry content and plenty to those abodes where poverty and want new p - evaii„ are we not -timulated tp do so by the best feelings of our hearts ? And if, in attaining such objects, we can give a fresh' impulse to agriculture and commerce Can open a cheap and rapid communication for un veiling and the transport of goods—can introduce fuel end other atticleaat a comparatively low rata-- and can, at the same time, secure to the subscribers an ample return on the capital which they may em• bark; surely we are justified in saying, that no public work can offer grewer advantages than this promises to yield to all classes of persons ; and surely we may anticipate the cordial support of the public in for warding the undertaking. The Directors have been unremitting in their endeavours to obtain intelligence on the subject of the proposed work, and they have collected a body of information which will enable them to bring the measure to a successful conclu sion. They ate now only waiting until a sufficiency of funds shall have been subscribed to justify their proceeding Gent to obtain an Act of Parliament. They have deputations to different places, and, amongst the rest, to Liverpool. With your per mission I shall read a few extracts from the minutes' of the Liverpool deputation, as they may be inte resting to those who have not had an opportunity of seeing a railway, or obtaining correct information in respect to the Livevpool and Manchester line. 1 [Here Colonel Henderson read extracts from his report, delivered at a meeting in Southampton, which was published in our Paper of the 17th of l September last, and to which the reader -will .of course refer.] The Directors have been most anxious to select the best line for the 'proposed railway, and Mr. Giles has surveyed no less than six lines in order to ascertain this most desirable point. He now pro nounces this to be the one subject to the fewest ob jections. It passes chiefly over land of little value, and avoids, generally, invading the privacy of pre prietors along the line. It is as short a line as can tie executed, keeping in view the desirable objects of approaching Winchester and Basingstoke. At one point only, near Battledown farm, it will be ne cessary to have some heavy cutting, or a tunnel of upwards of a mile in length. The latter is cer tainly objectionable, but, as it can be executed at a much cheaper rate than cutting, it will become a matter of further consideration which plan will he resorted to for overcoming the difficulty. In re epect to the generality of the line—perhaps no portion of equal extent in England can present greater facili ties for the execution of such a work. The proposed line has been submitted to many of the landed pro prietors through whose estates it will pass, and 1 re joice to say that it has met with unqualified appro bation. This flattering reception has given US fresh encouragement to proceed, and the effect which the announcement of this fact will produce in London, from whence we expect to draw a large proportion of subscriptions, will, no doubt, be gratifying, as we have been repeatedly assured by some of the most influentiel capitalists of the city, that if we can carry with us the approbation of the land owners and the general support of the country, we need not fear obtaining a sufficient subscription it. London to make up any defic'ency left unappro priated in the country. This is the position in which the undertaking now stands, and it will in a great measure depend upon the support which we shall this day receive whether or not we shall be enabled to take the preliminary steps for obtaining a Bill in the next Session of Parliament. You are not, perhaps, all aware that the standing rules of Parliament require that notice should be given in three different weeks prior to the 30th Nov. of all parishes through which a railway is intended to be laid down,—that a plan on a scale of three inches to a mile must be lodged, on or before the 30th November, with the clerk of tl.e peace of each county, together with books of reference,shew 'ing each pet son's property through which it will pass. In consequence of the great delay which has been occasioned by surveying the different lines, there is now barely sufficient time to complete these documents before the 30th of November; and, previous to incurring the ex pense which such operations must involve, the Directors are anxious to see some subscriptions raised sufficient to meet the charge. The Directors have already incurred expenses in giving publicity to the undertaking, and sending deputations to London and elsewhere, raised solely from their own funds. In order to cover the preliminary expenses, the Directors and a few of their friends at South ampton have subscribed about 500/.; no other part of the county has been asked to contribute to these expenses. But now that the exigency of the case requires a further supply, in older to ensure the of obtaining a Bill in the next Session, tPhes'T)liiiretcYt ors hope that those who are favourable to the measure will allow a portion of their deposits to be h p e l c p a b i l r e e c t t o o t r l s i e a s e indispensable p by their reli preliminary ch arges. The regulations io lrg i t i a s es. not to incur the expenses of preparing the Act until one-half of the capital shall have been subscribed for; they have, therefore, no other means left for securing the possibility of obtaining an Act in the next Session except in appropriating, by permission of the shareholders, such portion of their deposits as may be necessary to prepare such preliminary surveys and documents as will enable them to comply with the standing rules. The Directors are happy in be ing enabled to state, that the proprietors of the Basingstoke canal have shown a disposition to meet this Company on the fairest and most liberal footing, and the Directors anticipate a cordial support from that Company. Hitherto this undertaking has been confined to Southampton ; and, until the line could be defined, the Directors were unwilling to press the matter on your consideration ; but now that the measur e has met with the approbation of so many of the landowners, and is likely to be taken up warmly along the whole lint, it becomes desirable that a certain number of Directors should be nomi nated at various points, to represent arid guard the different interests. Having now, Gentlemen, laid before you the present state and prospects of the Company, I shall conclude by expres.ing a hope that you will cordially join in forwarding an nedere taking of such vast importance to this part of the country, arid one which is calculated to produce such beneficial returns to the shareholders. Yon will observe that the utmost caution has been adopted in guarding against the misapplication of y not isposed inaty t betim l xe i n e epi,(reoei t alotlnttii,lid: have ei h e, r t v l ti t ebhn s teit i t : re c o h df te s otp t h i w b o:s s ir c id : s i sr h; t r eti s leuetr t a b, pe s erd: m itg7 a uched, in e aban dolled for want of ,fl-4d,,, equal to half the capital, he Hon. ting on which is u contingency that, 1 trust, need not he contemplated. e Ti. s P el , ,, L c n t L o A ti ci o u f tE , n ,„ }: i c ii o d i:g ci r o a t t i u s l a ate c t , l ha th ir e . nisn, whose advice to them fully to ins-es-igate the subject before they came forward to cepport it was completely in accordance wieh the views of the Di rectors. They hed eatmly applied more than twelve mete he to its investigation, and now only cailed on the public to follow their example by dispassionately considering its merits, and then determine whether ^r not they will enable the Directors to proceed with the survey, and take. the necessary steps to a .1.101 in the, next Session of Parliament, in the event of its receiyiug such countenance from the community at large as will justify the a }petition. The worthy Chairman had spoken of the went ot . information. He would exnlaio ev'oet the Directors had not earlier nreseed it Gil him. Their first duty vian. to contrinc 4 themselves. This had occupied much tithe. It was not enough that the deneeatlen to Liverpool, of which his gallant colleague had just read some of the entiuees, gave assurance of the utility of a railway communication between London as the capital of the kingdom, and Southampton, as affording a direct connection with the English Chan nel ; it was not enough that the inhabitants of the PRICE 7D. town of Southampton and Basingstoke, and man, influential merchants in London, looked favourably toward the undertaking; it was not enough that the country between London and Southampton offered no' impediments to such a work; it was necessary to discover that particular line that would avoid in jury to individuals,, and at the same time afford the greatest benefit to, the community. Until that line, which the Directors now confidently laid be fOre;the meeting, was discovered, it was impossible to know through whose property it would pass, the Directors, therefore, abstained from a useless in trusion on the worthy Baronet and other land owners; but so quickly have they availed themselves of the earliest moment of making them acquainted with it, that note day has been lost. The time now open for compliance with the standing orders of the House of Commons Was indeed short, but he trusted the important advantages embraced, as the informa tion so generally circulated has shown, and the wants of the public have so long demanded, would induce this meeting to sanction its further progress. If any gentleman will look at the position of Basingstoke on the map, they will see it connected with all the great roads leading from . the West of England to Loudon; and that a junction from thence with the Kennet and Avon Canal may easily be formed by a branch railway, which would connect Bristol, and through it Wales and Ireland, with the channel and southern coast of England, and give those advan tages to the sister kingdom, as well as Wales aid the western parr of this kingdom, which have been so many years felt to be of primary importance. If a railway communication between Bristol and London should be adopted, in all probability it would follow the line o'f the Kennet and Avon navigation, and would most likely unite with this railway at Basingstoke. The deputation which has been to London were there informed by one o► the most influential merchants in the city, that th,• support of the landed interests along the line, and of the principal towns, would ensure whatever part of the capital that may be required to be raised there. The arectors have taken every care to ob tain security for the deposits of the subscribers, and the appointment of trustees has been very generally approved. Of the superiority of railway carriage over every other mode of conveyance DO doubt can now remain. Steam carriages upon common roads have been supposed likely to supersede rail-roads, but all they have yet effected has been to carry a weight equal to that of the engine at ten or twelve miles an hour ; and a gentleman who is intimately connected with the subject, has declared that the engine which, without burthen, could go 30 miles on a common road, could complete 150 on a rail way. Under all the circumstances which have been stated to the public, the Directors submit to this meeting whether it shall be proceeded with or not ? All the expenses hitherto incurred have fallen on a few individuals, independent of the concern, but the funds raised for that purpose are now expended, and unless further means are now afforded, the stir vey thus far accomplished must be deferred, if not altogether abandoned. J. S. PENLEazE, Esq. M.P., regretter) his una voidable attendance on his Parliamentary duties had prevented his giving the attention to this great ob ject which he was anxious to have done. The Hon. Gentleman forcibly urged the adoption of this mea sure on public grounds. Unfortunately great dis tress had existed, and still exists in the country, and the best means of alleviating it, is the currying on great works of this description, which will employ so many thousands of the labouring classes, and be productive of other important advantages. The local and national benefits to be derived from this under taking had already been so ably explained that he need not attempt to enforce them. By executing the work iu time of peace, not only will it be done at the cheapest possible rate, but in war all that im. portant relief to the commerce of the kingdom would be provided, that must then be so desirable. Fur himself, the Hon. Gentleman said, every exertion of his should be applied to promote it ; and in his place in the House of Commons his humble services may be depended on. Sir THOMAS BARING observed, that he admitted a prima...facie case had been established; but still though he admitted great benefit appeared likely to accrue to the public and the proprietors, he did not yet feel authorized to give his name as sanctioning the measure, until he knew what are the feelings of the mercantile interests in London, and the landed gentlemen. The able speeches of Colonel Hender son, Mr. de Blaquiere, and Mr. Penleaze, carried great weight with them ; but, as the Chairman of that meeting, he required further information. The Hon. Mr. DE 13c-tilt:mut: then entered into a full explanation of the countenance the Directors had received from different eminent merchants in London, the Basingstoke Canal Company, and the land-owners in different parts of the line, and shewed the case to be so strong, that Sir THOMAS BARING again rose, and expressed himself so far satisfied, that with a view to enable the managing Directors to proceed with the survey, and give the necesary mice for applyitg to Parlia ment for a Bill in the next Sessions, he should sub scribe in the first instance for fifty shares, or 501. re serving his further support when he shall have more fully entered into the subject. tievei•al Interrogatories were put by Dr. Little hales, and others ; and Mr. Lindley, the surveyor employed by the engineer, explained the survey, and stilted on the authority of Mr. Giles, that it would he completed for 1,000/. ; after which the Rev. Ruben Wright proposed the rsolutions, and a unanimous vote of thanks. to &Sir Thomas Baring, for his impartial and upright conduct in the chair, was followed by a subscription to a considerable amoea. 'We do riot know the exact sum, but have much pleasure in stating -.hat the amount now sub : scribed for this great work exceeds 100,0001. CAUTION TO TAVERN ii,EEPERE.—There never was a time an requi,i.to as the present for keepers of taverns to be on their guard against swindirs. Sunday night s i we'd-dressed man, catrying a carpet bag, applied a: t he Queen's Arms Tavern, Newgate-street, for a hed—h: was sbotvn to the coffee-room, where he took hix grog, paid his bill, and retired for the night, &clan after h , kft in the morning it was discove7:;tl that he had taken from another bed-room, a clis, great coat, and a pair o shoes, and left in the chimney in the room in which he slept, hat, a piece of green baiz , , and bundle of rags. A person committed a similar depredation a short time since at the Angel Inn, Islington.--L This parattr..ph would have appeared yesterday but was mislaid by mistake.] RAIL ROAD.—Notieo has been given of an application to the Legislature of this State, to incorponve a company, to snake a rail-road from New York, throuyi the southern tier of counties and Jamestown, to Lake Erie, with a capital of 6,000,000 dollars.

Such a vi sitation in Aux Cayes is unknown in the anustt of ti.is island."; The. Central Board of Health have drawn up, and ordered to be issued, the following important paper to au various Boards of Health : COUNCIL OFFICE, NOV. 14, 1931. SIR,--The Central Board of -Health having ma turely weighed all the information which has been transmitted to them relative to the progress of ;hp Asiatic spasmodic cholera in various parts of Eu rope, but more particularly guided by the conclusions on this head to which Drs. Russ.ll and Barry have arrived, after a few months' careful and laborious observations of the character of that disease in those parts of Russia which they have visited, beg leave to suggest for your consideration the following sana tory- hints : I. AS TO PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES. In order to insure the adoption and realise tile benefit of any system of sanatory arrangements in a large community, the first essential point is to divide that community into subordinate sections, and to form distinct Boards of Health, each to consist, if possible, of a resident clergyman and a number of sub stantial householders, and of one medical wan at least. These Boards should be charged with the fol lowing duties in their respective districts, viz.:- 1. To appoint inspectors. Each inspector to visit daily, and to inquire carefully after the health, means of .Ithsistence, cleanliness, and comforts of the initiates of, say 100 houses, more or less according to local circuni. stances. - - 2. To receive and examine the reports of those inspect ters, which should be made up to a given hour on each day. 3. To endeavour to remedy by every means which as tlividual and public charitable exertion can supply such deficiency as may be found to exist in their respective districts in the following primary elements of public health, v:z. the food of the poor, clothing, bedding, ventilation, •• •, elesuliness, outlets for domestic filch, habits of tem— perance, prevention of panic. 4. To report to their principal 131mila respectively on the above heads, as well as on the actual state of the Li alth of their districts. The subordina►e divisions of each district ought to be numbered or lettered, and each district named; the names of each Board often had not been attach, d to them, and that of the visiting inspectors employed should be placarded in conspicuous places. Principal Boards of cities, towns, or parishes, to report directly to the Central Board in London 1. On the actual state of health of the who'e popul .tion. 2. On the precautionary measures already carried into effect. 3. On the measures contemplated. 4. On suspected sources, if ens there be, from whence this particular disease might possibly sp r i ne . With regard to precautions as to intercourse with suspected or really infected persons or places, t h e Board are confident that good sense and good feel ing will not only point out, but morally establish, as 'nay be practicable, the necessity of avoiding such com munications as may endanger the lives of thousands. But they strongly deprecate all tneesures of co ercion for this purpose, which, when tried upon the continent, invariably have been found productive of evil. The best inducements to a prompt acknow ledgment of the disease having entered a family, as well as to an early and voluntary separation of the sick from the healthy, will edweys be found in the r.-afinesss and efficiency with which public chari able institutions attend to the object in S. It is with much satisfaction that the Board feel themselves authorised 'o declare, anti it will, no doubt, be highly consolatory to the pubis to learn, that wider the proper observances of eleetilitie , s and ventilation this disease eehioto spree& in families, and rarely passes to those about the sick under such favourable circumstances, unlees they happen to he particularly predisposed. It will riot, therefore, be necessary when there is space, and when due attention is paid to cleanliness and purity of air, to separate members of ramifies actually affected by the disease, nor no insulate indi vidual houses, unless in eases of crowded, tilthy,liadiv ventilated hubitations,and other contingencies which involve the health of all. It having been proved, by ample experience, in more than one city in Europe, that the fitting up and flunishing of hospitals for the reception of the poorer classes supposed likely to be attached by the disease, at a period too long before its actual break ing out, has been productive of great waste of means, by the •poiling of various articles, and the consequent want of wholesome accommodation when most required, the Central Board would recommend that proper and sufficient house-room only be se cured and prepared in the first instenee, and that the charitable be called upon only to pledge themselves to furnish, at a given notice, such articles of bedding, furniture, &c., or the value of them, as they ‘1 ould at once have contributed. By this means the deterioration of perishable ar ticles will be avoided; and should the district en tirely escape, the contributions will be saved. The situations which the Board would recom mend for temporary cholera hospitals would be those most detached, insulated, and thoroughly ex posed to free and open air; the description of hotse such as would admit of the most perfect ventilation and cleanliness, and the largest space around the sick. The Board would recommend, where a family is reported to be in an unhealthy stare by the sub inspector, and the disease confirmed to be cholera by a medical member of the District Board, that the head of such family, if unable to afford accom modation at home, be advised to send the sick per son forthwith to the temporary hospital, and that the other members of the family be supplied with such additional means and comforts as their state may require, to enable them to resist the influence of the infected atmosphere. 11. MEDICAL AND DIETETIC: PRECAUTIONS. These will be found of considerable importance, from their contributing to prevent or diminish the susceptibility to infection which individuals may possess at the moment the disease breaks out. No sudden nor extensive alterations should be made in the usual modes of living. All changes (if food to he useful, indeed not to be absolutely pr. judicial, should tend to render it drier, tnure nutritive, and c,ncen trative ; moderately costive bowels, the almost in variable cone. , quence of a dry, inviguniting diet, will be found more conducive to exemption from cholera than an opposite habit. Whenever aperients may become indispensable, hose of a %vrpn aromatic kind, in moderate doses, or domestic means, should be alone resorted to. What is generally understood by salts, viz. Cilaubet's salts and Epsom salts, as vvell as other cold purgatives, should not be taken in any quans , ities, nor on any account, without the express pre ..cription of a medical man. Tne medical members of the Board beg to state ti tlis most decided manner, that no specific pre ventive against cholera is known to exist, and that the drugs hitherto offered with this pretension, in countries where the greatest ravages have been caused by this disease, not only did not possess the negative virtue of doing no harm, but are found to be absolutely injurious. The two preventives are a healthy body and a cheerful unruffled mind. Looseness of bowels should be immediately checked, and any thing like periodical chills or cold perspirations should be met by quinine in suitable doses, but habitual drugging, t all times anproper, :is to be depreca ed in tho the above p recaut i onar y s strongein terms when epidemic disease is appreh tided. The Board have been anxious to lay before the public, as early as p assible, outlines, which they trust will t en d, toget h er w - it h he su g gestions emanating from the wisdom of your and other local Boards, if not to exempt the whole popula.ion of these realms from the scourge of spas cholera, at least to enable them to meet 1., in the event of its appearing amongst them, with phy cal and moral constitutions the least likely to suffer min its virulence. The Central Board will avail themselves of the e aliest opportunity to trans , ait to you 4 , 1 further atiatory suggestions which in..y oecur ;0 them oft ire subject of precautionary massuies, %%ell as 'labile of instructions now ail piepar,i ton tut com- Aiunities supposed to be actually a iricked.--I have the honour to be 6,r, your most ob-dieto servant, E.
