CHOLERA MORBUS, OFFICIAL REPORT. This malady, we are sorry to say, is extending itself in Newcastle, but at present it is chiefly confined to Sandgate, a dirty street at the end of the Quay side, leading by the . banks of the Tync to North Shields, and for filth and wretchedness only equalled by our Petticoat-lane and its pur lieus. It will appear by the annexed official re port that there are 16 new cases in that town, making in the whole 24, of which three have died. COUNCIL OFFICE.-(THIS DAY.)

Little or no business of importance was transacted in the House of Commons last night. Mr. PROTHEROE gave notice that on the twenty-first of January he should move for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the municipal Government of the city of Bristol, an amendment much required, and which we heartily hope may be successful. Mr. WESTERN afterwards presented the Reform petition of the county of Essex, which called forth the very absurd remark of Mr. G. DAWSON, that the county meeting in question represented neither the feelings nor the wishes of the people of Essex. Mr. HU ME moved for accounts of the ecclesiastical receipts from tithes in Ire land, but the motion was ultimately withdrawn, on the understanding that Sir ROBERT INGLIS also should give notice to move that the order he had moved for should be rescinded. The House adjourned at seven o'clock. The Orange faction, that sworn foe to all im provement, has again reared its head in Dublin. A meeting of the squad, from which, however, it. is but justice to state many of the more re. ' spectable and influential Orangemen absented themselves, was held on Wednesday, Thurs day, and Friday last, at MortnisoN's Rooms, the Earl of RODEN in the chair, The speeches were of the usual average excel lence in point of temper and sagacity, and would be worthy of comment, were they not so exquisitely absurd and unreasonable. The orators, as a matter of course, were all in a violent passion, and blustered after the most approv e d fashion of such amusing bullies as Ancient Pis tol, Captain Bo6adil, Major Sturgeon, and the other warriors of that immortal school. The great theme of their vitupera tion was the conduct of Government as respects the Irish tithe system, any amendment in which they asserted would be the utter ruin o f all existing establishments. The Reform question also came in for a fair share of their indignant declamation. Among the most absurd speakers we felt gratified in being able to state that Lord MANDEVILLE bore away the palm. The competition was great, but his Lordship was decidedly triumphant. He stood proudly pre-eminent among th e emulous dozens of titled and untitled Orange men, who were compelled, with a sigh, to acknowledge his superior absurdity. The resolutions passed by this intellectual synod of consummate patriots M ere all vehemently vituperative of Government, and called upon all classes of Irishmen who had the good of their country at heart, instantly to come forward and range themselves under the conservative banners of—the Brunswick Club redivivus. The following are extracts from Brussels and German Papers, received this morning:— BRUSSELS, DEC. 10.—The Envoy of the United States in Holland has caused overtures to be made in the name of his Government to the Belgian Ministry, to learn the basis on which the Belgian Government would be inclined to conclude a Treaty of Commerce with the United States. M. de Bulow, Prussian Minister in the Conference at London, has made the same over tures to our Envoy at London.—Courricr des Pays Bas. We are assured that our Government is seriously engaged in laying the foundation of a commercial treaty with France. The Minister of Finance will shortly submit to the Chambers a project of law on the new system of Customs. On the 16th, Te Deuni will be performed at St. Gudule, in commemoration of the Treaty of Peace, and on occasion of the anniversary of his Majesty's birth-day. The preliminary works for laying down a rail-road between Antwerp and the Ithenish provinces are proceeding with great activity. Several engineers are on the spot to make the surveys, and the result will be laid before the King in the beginning of January. The intended road will be between 35 and 38 leagues ill length, and it is calculated that a loaded waggon will not be more than 24 hours in travelling that distance. De.c. 11.—Dr. Antomarchi, Physician to Napoleon at St. Helena, has arrived at Brussels. The Agricultural Committee of Brabant has resolved to pe tition the Government to take into its serious consideration the treaties of commerce to be concluded, and in revising the financial laws, the interests of agriculture, especially the breed ing and dealing in cattle, the wool trade, the cultivation of flax and hemp, &c. Dec. l2.—A letter from Antwerp, of the 11th, says, that that city had just escaped a great disaster : whether by accident or design is not yet known, the powder magazine was near be ing blown up; happily only a wooden lodge, occupied by the porter, was burnt. A sentinel, who saw two men run away when the fire broke out, gave the alarm. On examination, a hole, made with some instrument, was discovered in the wall of the powder magazine. Some persons, among whom is the porter, have been arrested. The Moniteur Beige says :—" A Journal justly observed some days ago that the treaty of peace must be accepted not only by Holland, but by the German Confederation, but that journal is mistaken when it doubts of the acceptance by the Diet, foe it gave in the beginning of September full power to the Ministeri of Austria and Prussia at London." The Monitcur gives the text of a Protocol, dated Sept. 9, by which the Plenipotentiaries of Austria and Prussia are expressly authorised to support the rights and interests of the German Confederation in the conference at Lendon ; but reserving the consent of the Confederation, but with the special stipulation to take as the leading and unalterable point of view in any change of territory whatever, that the town and fortress of Luzern burg as indispensable to the safety of the Confederation, with suitable tract of territory adjoining, as well as the rest of the German territory of the Confederation, be once for all excepted, and that there be no cession of territory that may affect the line of defence of the Confederation. The 3loniteur announces that a new journal will appear at Brussels on the 15th of December, which is intended to state the opinions of the majority of the Chambers. The Courrier says that Messrs. Lebeau, Devaux, Nothomb, &c. are con cerned in it. BRUSSELS, Dxc. la—Yesterday the King gave a private audience to General Belhard, Lord Russell, Sir A. Adair. s e _ veral Ministers and Deputies had the honour to dine with his Majesty, M. A. Sol, secretary to the French legation, is gone to Paris. General Tibiere Sebastiani arrived at Brussels yesterday. A n English Cabinet messenger passed through yesterday evening, on his way from St. Petersburgh to London, with dispatches. An English Cabinet messenger set out yesterday evening, with dispatches for London. _ _ _ The Inds pendent of yesterday says :—" News has been re_ ceived that the Courts of Prussia and Austria ratified th e treaty of peace in 27 articles on the sth of this month. The ratification by Russia is expected by the end of the month." We find nothing in the Moniteur Beige to confirm this news. The Dutch Journals, which we have received up to the 7th, say nothing of the addresses stated to have been presented to King William by the Second Chamber of the States-General, relative to the proposed loan. They only say that the sections are engaged in examining the project of law relative to it. The Prussian State Gazette of the Bth December has no news from Russia or Poland. In the Chamber of Representatives the Minister of Fina nce presented on the 10th the project of law for the ways and means for 183'2. The sum total required by the Government is 7.1,160,751 florins, of which '2'2,470,000 florins are required for the two loans created by virtue of the laws of Sth April and '2lst October last; and 18,029,766 imposed on us by the treaty of separation between Holland and. Belgium, for the amount of the arrears and of the interest of the first year. The estimated revenue of 1831 is only 30,000,000, recourse must therefore be had to the sale of the public domain, the presumed value of which is 6,329,38! , , and to a loan of 48,000,000. The discussion of the project of law for the loan of 48,000,000 was fixed for the 13th. His Majesty has almost every day reviewed different corps of troops. BERLIN—CHOLERA. New Cases. Recoveries.

COURT OF CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY•) NEWTON v. MANN/NO.-A WARD. The LORD CHANCELLOR disposed of this ewe in judg ment, which *as argued before him two days ago. The applica tion was on the part of Mr: Aughstus Newton, th a t th e C ourt would coffimit his brOther, Mr. Marcellus Newton, to the fleet prison, for abetting in the removal of their sister Coralie, a ward of Court, out of the jurisdiction, and leaving het in P a ri s , him self having returned to this country fora limited period ; and that such an order might he. made oii their father ( a hi g hl y respect able old gentleman at Weymouth) as might appear just to the Court, for the purpose of compelling him to use all his efforts to bring back the ward to England. His Lordship regretted that the case should have appeared before the public at all. He would not add, however, to the mischief that the public discussion might have occasioned by stating more than the result of his de. liberations upon the case. He had read the affidavits and corre spondence; and, in the petullar Circumstance s o f thi s case, re gard beitig had to the father of the ward being alive, as well as to the other very peculiar circumstances, he did not think it proper t, make the order prayed at against Mr. Marcellus, nor to interfere at all. Had it not been for the peculiar circumstances surrounding the case he should have felt it to have been his duty to have done more than simply to have expressed his opinion of the unsatisfac toriness of the explanation Mr. Marcellus Newton had given of his interference in the removal of the ward. His Lordship steeply regretted that there should have been so many differences amongst the younger branches of this family as there appeared to have been, and which he in a great measure regarded as the consequence of young ladies having fortunes left to them on their attaining twenty-ohe years Of age, hdependently of their parents. Miss Coralie Newton, however, retifed from this Court if she could be said to have been brought into it at all by this proceeding) without the slightest imputation on her character, motives, or conduct, as well as did her aged father. In this ease a circumstance had occurred which his Lordship hoped wouldnever happen again. Every Judge who did not choose to trust himself by picking tip all the facts of a case from arguments at the bar, and who wished to make himself master of the wh o l e case, had only the Yesort of calling for the affidavits, that he might read them in private. On such an occasion it was of course under stood that such affidavits only should be handed to him as had been read at the bar, hut in the present instance an affidavit on the part of the plaintiff had been sent to his Lordship which had only been sworn on the day on which the case was argued, and which had neither ever been mentioned at the bar, nor shown to the party against whom it was intended to have been used. It was the affidavit of Sir Robert Price, Bart. On seeing the name it occurred to his Lordship's mind that it had not been read, and on looking to the jurat he found it was impossible it could have been read. Of course his Lordship had not read a line of it. Sir EDWARD SUGDEN said he had never heard that such an affidavit had been made. Mr. PEPYS observed that it was made so late that he had carefully abstained from using it at the bar, and that he knew nothing about the papers that had been handed to the Court by ' the solicitors. His LORDSHIP was confident that it had been done in mis take, but he had distinctly to request that such a thing might not be repeated, because that which was done in one case by mis take, might be done in another by design, and by such a practice the Court might be misled and injustice be the result.—Motion dismissed without costs. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY,) FIELD v. FIELD. The circumstances of this case, which was part heard yester day, were of rather a singular nature, very much resembling the great case of " Morris v. Davis," of which the public have heard Fu much, it having gone through every Court in Westminster hall. The plaintiff m this case (an infant) claimed, as the only son of a person named Thomas Field, to be entitled to certain sums left by the testator to trustees for the benefit of his son Thomas Field, and his issue. The defendants admitted that the plaintiff was the son of the wife of the testator; he admitted that a mar_ riage had taken place between the parties, but they dis puted the legitimacy of the plaintiff upon the following grounds. It appeared that in the beginning of the year 1817 in consequence of Field's discovering the existence of an impro per intercourse between his wife and a person named Archer, a quarrel took place between them, which ended in a separation, On the 14th of January, 1818, the present plaintiff was born ; and the defendant, who would be entitled to the property in case of his illegitimacy, contended that no intercourse whatever having taken place between the husband and wife since the sepa ration, it was impossible that the plaintiff could be the son of Field, but must be the child of Archer. On the part of the plain tiff several witnesses had been examined, for the purpose of proving that in the intervening period between the separation and the birth of the plaintiff the husband and wife had met together several times—that they had lived in the same village— that interviews of an hour and a half had taken place between them, and one witness, of the name of Ann Filby, deposed to a visit on the part of the husband to the wife, at a house of a relation of her's, where they remained for some period, that she heard the husband persuading his wife to go up stairs, and that after some hesitation she consented. Another witness spoke of the very great re semblance which the plaintiff bore to the testator, who had always acknowledged the boy as his, that on one occasion he gave hills a shilling, told him to come and shake hands with his father, and to be a good boy. O n ano th er occas i on h e h a d gone w i th the witness on an excursion on the Thames, that in going through London Bridge they were very near being drowned, and that after they were in perfect safety, the testator said he felt th an kf u l t o God th at his life had been spared, for if it had not he did riot know what would have become of his wife and his dear child. Several of the witnesses had been cro s--examined for the purpose of ascertaining from them whether there was not a report its the village where the parties removed (Chesham), that the child was the son of Archer, all of whom stated, that they had never heard of such reports. Mr. BICKERSI ETH submitted, on the part of the plaintiff, that the Court would not decide against the legitimacyof a party, unless it was clearly proved that the husband and wife had been in such situations as to render access impossible. Mr. PEMBERTON, on behalf of the defendant, stated that though these parties had been married upwards of seven years at the time of the separation, they had had no children, and it was an exceedingly strong circumstance against the legitimacy of the plaintiff, that some time atter the legitimate intercourse between his mother and Archer had taken place he should have been born. Added to this, he - had the positive declaration of the wife herself, that no intercourse had taken place between her and her husband during the separation: The witness, Ann Filby, was directly contradicted by a person of the name of Hartness, who deposed to having been requestedby the testator to accompany bins to where his wife lived, as he (the tes tator) was going to blow her up, and wished some one to be there as a witness of what took place, lest some interested person should take advantage of it ; that at that interview words rose so high that the witness was glad to leave, and the testator shortly afterwards joined him. The MASTER of the ROLLS observed that upon such con tradictory evidence he thought Mr. Pemberton's client was en titled to an issue, to try whether the plaintiff was the legitimate child of Thomas Field, and that as most of the parties resided in Buckinghamshire, his Honour thought it best to direct that the issue should be tried at Buckingham. COURT OF KING'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) Lord TENTERDEN sat to-day at Guildhall to hear Common Jury causes. Two cases were heard, but the particulars were wholly uninteresting to the public.

The National Congress of Chili, conceiving . that the present d rea dful crisis, in which the nation appears to be on the eve of the horrors of a civil war and anarchy, in mature deliberation, has, this day, August 14, 1831, issued the following Decree, di. reefing the Convention to be called together, to amend the Con stitution of the 6th August. The Convention shall be composed s ix great public functionari es , an d f ourteen of the N obles of sixteen of the present Chamber of Deputies, elected by th e petiole of the 'Senate. (From the Eastern Argus.) We have received the following official account of the pro ceedings of the Governor and Council:—The Committee of the whole Council, to which was referred the subject of the recent transactions at Madawaska, ask leave to report. That in com mon with their fellow citizens, they view with feelings of just indignation the unwarrantable and oppressive act of the authori. ties of the British province of New Brunswick, in invading the territory of the State with a military force, and arresting a num ber of peaceable citizens. From the exposed state of our fron tier settlements, and the danger to which they are subject by encroachment, we recommend that the Governor be ad vised to issue a general order, requiring the Militia of the State to hold themselves in readiness to meet such requisitions as the President may deem necessary to protect our territory from invasions; this report being read, was accepted by the Council and the Governor.

Returns had been already made from 1,191 clergymen who had made composition for their tithes, and the amount for which the composition was made ; and he did not see why returns should be refused from those parishes where no such composition was made. Sir R. PEEL said there was a great difference between the returns now sought for and those made pursuant to Act of Parliament. Under the Tithe Composition Act, the amount was registered, and there could be no difficulty in obtaining it in each case. After a few words from Sir R. INGLIS and Mr. HUME, the motion was withdrawn for the present, and Sir R. INGLIS gave notice that he would move to have his order rescinded. On the motion of Mr. Huaty, there was ordered an ac• count of the number of sinecure offices executed by deputy in England, Scotland, and Ireland. Mr. ROBINSON moved for copies of all the treaties relative to trade and navigation entered into between Great Britain and other States; also specifying those States with which no such treaties were entered into.—(A laugh.) Mr. S. RICE said the return would be very voluminous and not necessary, as most of them were already before the House. Mr. WARBURTON presented a petition from James Hitchens, surgeon, of Lincoln, praying for some regula tions for facilitating anatomical studies. The other orders of the day were digpoeed of, and the House adjourned at Seven o'clock. PRICKS OF THE STOCKS TF Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Red ....... 4 32 Mi 3 per Cent.

EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—On Wednes day se'nnight, Mr. SAMPSON WARWICK, of Mount Stampen, ❑ear St. Austell, accidentally ran a pin into one of his arms ; the wound was trivial, and the accident did not attract any notice until a few hours after, when a vio lent inflammation took place, which ended in mortification and death within forty-eight hours.

We have been assured that one of the speakers in the unknown tongue, and who is desig nated by the title of Miss, is the wife of a Polish Jew ; and it is the Hebrew with the Polish accent which she yells out. But the owners of the chapel ought to be ex posed by name, if they do not shut it up.—Times. The Princess MARIA THERESA Of ESTER HAZY, who for many years was the " presiding genius" of the gaities of Chandos House, is, we understnad, at pre sent residing with her mother, the Dowager Princess of TOUR and Taxis, in Germany ; and it is said that hei Serene Highness contemplates a permanent residence abroad. The daughters of the Princess, the young Pain cesses MARY and RosA, the eldest of whom was educated in England, and has just attained her 18th year, are ac companied by their mother abroad. The Lady of the Austrian Minister is allied to the Royal Family of Great Britain ; her mother, the Princess of Toon. and TAXIS, who before her marriage was the Princess MATILDA of Mecklenburg Strelitz, being sister to her Royal Highness the Duchess of CUMBERLAND. Mr. Baron VAUGHAN, one of the Judges who tried those atrocious criminals Bailor and WILLIAMS, was present at the dissection of the body of the former murderer at the King's College last week. The Learned Judge was accompanied by Dr. F. lIAwKaNs, one of the Professors to the College. Previous to the body being opened, the Professor of Medical Jurisprudence delivered a lecture on the appearances, external and internal, of death, by strangulation, drowning, and other violent means, to exhibit which the cavities of the head, chest, and abdomen of the murderer were then carefully examined by the Pro fessor of Anatomy. The brain presented an unhealthy ap pearance, a circumstance attributed to the great mental anxiety which Bistioe underwent during his repeated examinations and at the trial. We understand it is in tended to preserve the skeleton of Basator in the King's College, in the same manner as that of CORDER'S in the hospital of Bury St. Edmund's. OAKS IN AMPTHILL PARK.—The oaks in Ampthill are particularly celebrated for their great size and age; several of them are supposed to be upwards of 500 years old, and some do not hesitate to say 1,000 years; the girth of many of them is ten yards or considerably more. A survey of this park, by order of the Conven tional Parliament, in 1653, pronounced 287 of these oaks as being hollow and too much decayed for the use of the navy. The whole of these remain to this day, and may perhaps continue two or three centuries longer; some few of them have been scathed with lightning.— The Mirror. The anticipations of the lovers of fiction, re specting Miss LANDON'S first work in prose, have been surpassed by the appearance of the volumes. " Romance and Reality" has been pronounced to be, in more respects than one, a new production ; it is dissimilar in manner and subject from its predecessors, and will, most probably, originate a separate class in novel-writing. The fable, the style, and the principal character, bear upon them the im press of originality---that severest test of genius; and the public has recognized, with one accord, the talent and in vention of the authoress. A remarkable instance of the extraordinary sagacity of a dog of the Newfoundland breed occurred yes terday in the family of Mr. PRENCIIFLEY, of Brome-ter race, Bayswater, whereby, in all probability, the lives of three individuals were saved, and the destruction of the whole house and furniture by fire prevented :—lt appears that the cook and housemaid were left in charge of the house during the temporary absence of the family, the latter haviag the care of an infant child between thirteen and fourteen months old. Between twelve and one o'clock the attention of the cook was drawn to th e d og , who came running down stairs, barking in a viol en t man ner, t (' o e r d r and, a takingh ein t towards play, holdw took no further r d of the the u skirtst airs. rt of r She, supposing the h animal w was notice r gown, att em pt e d of it until the dog returned down stairs a second time, barking and whining, and again took hold of her gown, and drew her towards the stairs. She suffered it to lead her to the door of the back drawing-room, which on opening, the smoke poured out so violently that she was nearly suf focated, and the fresh air being admitted, the room was instantly filled with flame. An immediate alarm being given, the fire was, with much difficulty, extinguished. It was found to have originated from some window curtains being placed too near the fire. The housemaid and Ile in fant child were both asleep at the time in the room over. head, and, but for this fortunate discovery, the whole of the house would probably, in a few minutes, have been on fire. 111 Per ( CHOLERA AT NEWCASTL: DERLAND. TO THE EDITOR OF ri#4o` l7 Str.,—The following is a copy of tie t .his morninz NEWCASTLE_VroN-TYNE, Ditc. I , ()al ref DAILY REPORT OF CASES OF SPASMODIC CIIOLERA. Remained at last report New cases Total Recovered Died Remaining this day at IO o'clock n.rit JOHN BROWN, Secretary to the Board of Health. Candour obligea me to declare that I have no longer any doubt that the spasmodic cholera is in Newcastle, hut I am convinced that it does not exist to the extent repre sented in the above report. Our Therikal gentlemen have been long anxiously looking for the dise, , ,e, and now that they have got it, they seem resolved to make it appear as formidable as possible. The faculty at Sunderland were extremely unwilling to admit that the cholera had reached them. The factf:t7 at Newcastle appear resolved to dis cover the cholera in every disorder. I suspect that many cases are improperly included in the reports, because, though not present at the meetings of the Board of Health, I know that some have been very wrongfully admitted into them. A woman of the town, for instance, of the name of Helen Al'Donald, was attacked with illness of some descriptityn on the 6th of December; on the 9th and 10th she gave birth to a child ; on the 11th she died ; and on the 12th she was put into the official report as a case of spasmodic cholera! This day lam informed Dir. Alder man Sorshie, a member of the Board of Health, objected very decidedly to a case being included in the report, be muse it was not a case of cholera ; but he was over-ruled, and it was included among the rest. It would be much more satisfactory if the names and residences of the parties were published. We should then be able to decide between the true and the false. In a former letter I said the di'ease was confined to the street called Sandgate. I regret to state that this is no longer the case. It is not only on the New-road which adjoins Sandgate, but it is now in Pandon, Queen -street, and Castle Garth. These are c'ose and dirty streets. There is, I hear, a case of cholera at St. Peter's, and one at Dent's- hole, villages on the river, distant from a mile and a half to three miles from Newcastle It will be satisfactory to you to know that the majority of the cases have not only occurred in the filthiest situations, but where the parties were both ill-lodged, ill-clothed, and ill-fed. This was particularly the case with two children, of the names of Dennison and Millar, who were attacked at what is called the Black-gate in the Castle Garth, in this town. An hospital has been established in the parish of All Saints, at the North Shore, for the accommodation particularly of Sandgate, where the greatest number of the patients are, Other hospitals are to be provided in the other parishes without delay. Dr. Daun still remains in Newcastle. The disease at Sunderland appears to be on the decrease. There were 6 deaths on the 12th, and I understand there are only 3 this day (the 13th), and only 21 cases remaining under treatment.—l mu, Sir, your obedient servant, PHILia.ETHES. Newcastle-on-Tyne, Dec. 13, 1831. '• LEEDS, DEC. 13. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sex,—l have seen a reply to my letter, by Captain Car den, in The Sun of last evening, on which I feel exceed ingly sorry Captain C. should have grounded any con struction of offence. Inferring that Captain C. supposed the hot air bath had not been tried in Sunderland, from the general tenour of his later, 1 had no other intention than to set him right on tlntt head ;—certainly not to deduct from Captain C.'s claim to its invention or introduction, or even, that by his recommendation, it had first been tried on the cholera i❑ Sunderland. I acknowledge, with much pleasure, its great utility in many diseases in which I have had considerable oppor tunities of witnessing its effect., especially in the early stage of rheumatic fever, in which its action is miraculous, and I am perfectly willing to confess Captain C. may have used it, even before 1 knew such a remedy was in exis tence. I presuppose also, it may be an auxiliary in cholera when the circulation has been brought about, or is recovering its tone, by the use of other remedies. As yet, it has had no effect in promoting perspiration in this disease at Sunderland, the accomplishment of which cer tainly seems to hold out the best hope of effecting a cure. I regret exceedingly Captain C. should have descended to personal invective, is one mode of strengthening his argu ments. My visit to Sunderland was, I hope, for a better purpose than " to make my name and fame known to your numerous readers," (much as I am flattered by your noticing my correspondence,) neither has my " self knowledge of cholera" at all had the effect of " bloating me like a city Ald ," but I forbear. I am not able to make the comparison for want of experience : myi.world may have been circumscribed. It certainly has not ex tended " through Europe, North and South America, Africa, Arabia, p irts of Turkey in Asia, Lower and Upper Egypt, many parts of India, and many nations of the isles ;" but still I have seen a disease which Drs. Daun, Gibson, and Barry declare to be the Indian cholera, which I believe is new to the medical practice of this country, and one in which I shall be most happy if the use of " Barbadoes naphtha and the hot air bath," jointly or severally, may have all the benefit Captain C. presumes they will have. I am aware the " Board of Health" in Sunderland do not want me for a champion. I was not aware there was any antagonist in the field, or I should not certainly have taken up arms in a cause, with the bearings of which I ant not yet sufficiently acquainted. . In conclusion, I beg again to assure Captain C. my note was not intended to be " thoughtless nor intempe rate." It was worded in haste certainly, which is always a fault, but not meant to give offence, and I trust he will still think so, though I venture in addition to express soy satisfaction, under all the circumstances of the case, that I am still a resident in Leeds and net in Bath. I am, Sir, your's most truli7Obliged, ROBERT BAKER. If, from the frequency with which the asser tion is made—if, from the number of persons who nuke -- it, we are induced to grant that the spasmodic cholera is actually in Newcastle, we sincerely believe that the ac count which has been given is exaggerated, that diseases are included in the reports which ought not to have been included, and which are most certainly not cases of spas modic cholera. This is calculated needlessly to increase alarm. Let the reports contain all undoubted cases of cholera, but nothing more. We are happy to observe that there is every disposition in Newcastle to meet the malady firmly and manfully. The Subscription Gas Company have liberally granted the use of their large house at the North Shore to the parish of All Saints, as an hospital, gratuitously. The other parishes in the town intend also to provide hospitals. The Committee chosen to dispose of the funds for the relief of the poor have met daily since their appointment, and have expended large sums in providing bedding, clothing, and fuel for the poor. The medical gentlemen appear to be very attentive and anxious to render every professional assistance in their power. So far the disease has confined its ravages to Sandgate, beyond all question the most filthy part of Newcastle. We do not believe that it will ever reach the extent it has done in a neighbouring town. We conceive that there are fewer here exposed by their situatio❑ and tilth to its attacks; and that the lower classes are more addicted to beer drinking, and less to spirit drinking than they are there. It ought to be a source of great satis fection that we know from the experience of Sunderland and other places, the causes which chiefly predispose to this disorder. They are filth and want of ventilation in [louses, intemperate habits, want of nourishment, whole. some food, and exposure to cold. To these we may add terror of the complaint. Nothing certainly can be more absurd than that nervous apprehension which some persons exhibit who are very unlikely subjects to be attacked. No thing can be more reprehensible than the ptactice of me dical men going about putting on long grave faces and saying to all sorts of people without discrimination—" this is beyond all'doubt the Asiatic cholera." Its having made its appearance in Houghton, Newbottle, Penshaw, Seg hill, and North Shields, is an additional reason for think ing it may be here. But we believe it will be found that its nature is modified by the climate, food, and habits of the people, &c. The best course, we conceive, for us all to adopt, is never to trouble our heads about the cholera, to keep our minds perfectly easy, and make ourselves warns and comfortable at our own fire sides...--Tyrie Mercury.
