The Royal Albert, 121, screw, yesteiday, at high water hauled out of the graving dock at Sheerness t into the basin, and is lying now under the sheers in the uockyard ; her internal fittings are fast completing. We understand steam will be got up without delay, to ascertain how her engines work. The machinery in all departments is now nearly finished; she will then proceed to Portsmouth for volunteers, and take in her stores ; her rudder will be shipped to-day. It was unshipped in consequence of there not being sufficient room for her to lie in the graving dock with it hung. The St. Vincent, 101, and Stromboli, 6, paddle, Comman der Hall, arrived yesterday morning at Spithead from Sheer ness. The St. Vincent is reported to have several cases of cholera on board. She will dispose of her sick, and after wards go into harbour to resume her duties as ordinary guard-ship. Stromboli had been ordered into harbour to instantly refit for further service; but a telegraphic message sent her off instantly to the eastward, as well as the Fire Queen, Master Commander F. W. Paul, probably to help the Royal William to Brest. The Algiers, 91, screw, Captain Talbot, Sheerness.—The dockyard authorities have visited this ship, and have ascertained that there is room enough for her to go into the graving dock. Her machinery appears to be defective, and will require many repairs previous to her being considered sea-wortby. The principal defects appears to exist in the end of the screw-shaft con. jiecting with the screw, and air-pump valves, together with many minor deficiencies, that require immediately being perfected before going to sea. The few invalids she has brought home have been forwarded to the Chatham Hospital. One marine died on the passage. This vessel, notwithstanding the defects in machinery, has only five engineers—that is, including the chief, Mr. Downie, who has 'used every exertion to make up the deficiency.of me chaniCe in that department. - The Inconstant, 36, fitted as an hospital ship for Cork, was towed out of Devonport harbour on Thursday, by the Confiance _and _Pike, and sailed direct, in charge of Mr. Thomas, master ofthe Impregnable, and a party of seamen fxom the Calcutta. She had a fine breeze and fair wind, and may be expected at Cork by this time. The Termagant,' 24, Capt. the Hon. Keith Stewart, was taken into the steam basin atPortsmouth yesterday to com plete a few , repairs and adjustments of her machinery. The 'screw steam storeship Supply, from Sheerness, has sailed with shot and shell for Varna. The barque Fingal, Capt. Dankin, 141 days from Laun ceston, Van Diemen's Land, for London, passed off Ply mouth on Thursday morning. _ _ The frigate Indefatigable entered Plymouth Sound yes. terday morning. APPOINTMENTS. Vice-Admiral Dnndas, C. 8., Commander-in-Chief of the British Fleet in the Black Sea, has selected Lieut. J. W. Douglas 11`Donald, at present serving as gunnery lieute nant of the Britannia, 120, flagship on the Black Sea sta tion, to be his flag lieutenant, vice Chambers, promoted. Lieutenant George Durbin (1846), from the Coastguard to the Curacoa, 30, screw steam-frigate at Portsmouth. Acting Assistant-Eugineers of the third-class John West, Edward Connor, John Birch Laud, Daniel 31' Wil. ham, John Henderson, and Henry Alphonso Henri have been appointed to the fleet. Acting Assistant-Surgeon—Thomas Roche (185 P, to the Curacoa. Chief, granting them 7s. per diem for each officer, irre spective of rank, and the sum of ss. per day for each of the officers' wives brought over with them. On the same being communicated to teem through the interpreter ? they ex pressed great satisfaction. They are all on parole, and permission will be granted for each officer to have his ser• want'on shore with aim, he guaranteeing for the servant keeping his parole. The parole granted them at present is three miles around the towns there. Perry during his late trials commands alike the respect, and demands the thanks, of every lover of justice and hater of tyranny. With you, lam of opinion that the scandalous verdict just pronounced against him by his military judges is disgraceful to all concerned in the matier ; and the start ling fact that there should be found 15 men, holding com missions in about as many different regiments in her Ma jesty's service, who could come to such a disreputable con clusion, is a melancholy proof that there are others than the officers of the 46th Regiment who disgrace the name of gen tleman, however they may rank as such in the army. You, sir; have nobly and fearlessly done your duty by directing public attention to these infamous proceedings, and it now only remains for Englishmen to show, by their ready and frienfily sympathy with this victim of military oppression, that they love and cherish the spirit of justice and honour. That a munificent subscription may speedily bo collected for Mr. Perry, so as to render him independent of the cruelty of his enemies, now that he is "permitted" to quit the society of the ruffians of the 46th Regiment, is the hearty wish and sincere prayer of his sympathising friend, Norfolk, Sept. 6. WEST NORFOLK. LIEUTENANT PERRY.—Mr. J. Bedborongh, the Mayor of Windsor, has been inundated with complimentary letters enclosing subscriptions from all parts of the kingdom, and even from France, towards Lieutenant Perry's Defence and Testimonial Fund ; among some of the most recent date are Mr. W. Digby Seymour, enclosing 201. ; .Mr. Charles Dickens, 51. ; Earl Fortescue, 10/. ; Mr. G. 0. Higgins (County Mayo), 51.; Mr. Brinckman, St. Leo nard's, Windsor, 51., eke. The subscription list already amounts to 5001. The verdict of the court-martial in this case being contrary to justice and common sense, it is ex pected' that it will be set aside by the Court of Queen's Bench, before which tribunal it is said the matter will be brought in the course of e. few days. Lieutencnt Greer left Windsor yesterday for his mother's residence in Ireland, where she resides on a little freehold farm, consisting of about 100 acres, meadow and arable. Mr. Greer now in tends to "tumble sword into the ploughshare." The 46th Regiment Arvin hourly expectation of the route to march for the East. THE RETURN OF THE FRENCH ARMY FROM BOMARSUN.D. The return of General Baragnay d'Hilliers and his army to France is an event which, in other times, would be startling. It now seems as if men had surrendered all care about the movements of their rulers, .and there is scarcely any one to ask why the French troops have been recalled from the Baltic, after their only triumph, the insignificant affair of Bomarsund. Why they have been recalled we do not pretend to say, although we may surmise. The fact is, however, that the French army has returned. It is said of a French monarch under the old regime, " The King of France, with fifty thousand men, Marched up the hill, and then marched down again." But we do not believe that Louis Napoleon is just the man either to send out his troops without an object, or recall them without reason ; and we must seek for the explanation of the problem in something else than the passion for marching and countermarching which distinguished the prede cessor of the Emperor of the French. It is quite plain that there remained nothing to be done in the Baltic in which the French Emperor believes that his troops could win glory in being enga g ed. If we were in earnest in the war with Russia this could not be the case. The truth we believe to be, that Louis Napoleon has wiihdrawn his troops be cause ho would not permit them to be condemned to the inaction to which the policy of Lord Aber deen is so fatally consig ning the military and naval armaments of England. It may be said that Bomarsund being taken, the object of the Baltic expedition is achieved. The first and most obvious answer to this is, that which is worth taking is worth keeping. The troops, who in the middle of a war desert a conquest, emphati cally declare that their conquest is worthless. But there is another and a better answer. The import ance of the possession of Aland has been as abeurdly overrated ac.) has been the achievement of its cap ture as a military operation. The chief value of that capture was that it had neither brilliancy nor difficulty to make it splendid. It had little glory lecauseit was easy. But the easiness of the victory added to its real significance what it took from its glory. The real importance of the fall of Bomar snud was, that it conclusively proved that the granite fortresses of Russia were not granite at all. At all events, they were granite which tumbled into a confused mass of rubble masonry before the cannonade of our ships. But the granite of Bo marsund is the granite of Cronstadt, and once its material was thus tested, the capital of Russia was at the mercy of the allies, we cannot say without striking a blow, but literally without receiving one. Bomarsund was battered down at long range, and the casualties of the assailantsare all to be set down to the accidents that attend the handling of their own guns. The path to St. Petersburg was open. Why is no attempt made to enter on it ? Why aro the French army recalled? Shame, shame to England ! Wo must seek the cause in the pusillanimity of our councils. These brave troops were brought home because our cowardly policy had left them nothing to do.

No one will toll us that army was sent merely to take a subordinate part in this miserable victory of Bomarsund. It fol lows, then, that the purpose for which they wore sent out is not accomplished. They return home without doing their work—through whose fault ? This is the question that the people of England must ask. The more the withdrawal of the French army is reflected on, the more serious will it appear as an indication of the policy that governs the conduct of the war. It is very hard to believe that it is not withdrawn in something very like disgust. At all events, it is withdrawn without accomplishing the plan of campaign to carry out which it was sent. What was the obstacle to its being carried out ? The obstacle was not in the Russian fortresses; they were infinitely more yielding than was expected. Where, then, was the obstacle ? It was in Eng land !—in the Cabinet of Queen Victoria !—in the ministers who first tried to prevent a war, and, since the nation have forced it, have done all in their power to retard the movements and paralyse the exertions of our nays and armies. Lord Aberdeen it is who has driven home the French army from the Baltic. The Emperor of Russia could well afford to part with Bomarsund while ho retains Lord Aberdeen. His true strength is in Downing-street, and ho will give ten of his best fortresses to save the First Lord of the Trea sury. Without the chivalry of James, the Czar might adopt his language, anti apply it to the ministerial existence of his hoary friend— " My fairest earldom would I give To hid Clan Alpine's chieftain live." While Aberdeen is Prime Minister the capture of Aland costs the Emperor but little concern. Better have Bomarsund battered down and Aberdeen Pre mier, than have the allies beaten back and an honest man at the head of English affairs. The re puke of the attack on Bomarsund would not have driven the French army away from the Baltic. The success of that attack has. There is a Pene lope that sits in the British council chamber, and the dark intrigues of the night undo all that is accomplished by the noon-day valour of our soldiers and sailors. How long this is to last we know not. Perhaps the Emperor of Russia does. For verily it would seem he has much more share in the direction of our English councils than the public opinion of England. Who would have thought, when we were exulting over the demolition of Bomarsund, that its only effect would be to drive back the French troops ? When the cannon of the Invalides thun dered their salvos at Paris Russia perfectly under stood that the guns were those of a retreat. Happy Lord Aberdeen, who can make the de feats of Russia the instruments of her highest suc-' cesses. Bomarsund falls, and Lord Aberdeen manages that its fall shall drive the French army home. The Russian army is driven from Silistria, and the friendly forces of Austria occupy the Prin cipalities. Let Sebastopol be but taken, and we may expect that it will be the signal for the realisation of all that Russia has ever asked.-- Morning licrald. POPULAR FEELING IN SWEDEN--The Stockholm journal, the Aftonbladet, publishes a letter from IT e l. sinborg, in which wt read :—ln no part of Sweden has the news of the taking of Bomarsund been received with more joyous satisfaction than at Helsingborg. Th e prin cipal inhabitants of the town, upon hearing of it, got up a banquet, at which the following toasts were drunk : "To the conquerors of Bomarsund, and may that for tress become a safeguard for Sweden." "To the memory of the French and English killed before I3omarsund." " To the memory of Charles XII., and may some of his great feats of arms be renewed against our hereditary enemy.

CHOLERA ITS ORIGIN AND PBEVEN TION.SINGULAR REPRESENTATION. A gentleman connected with the fraternity of millers, whose name, for obvious reasons, we refrain from men tioning, attended before Alderman Farebrother, at the Guildhall, yesterday, with the.following communication relative to the fatal epidemic which is at present spread ing its devastating influence' over every part of the me tropolis. He stated that in 1842 he purchased a large quantity of old foreign flour in bond, and while tasting it for the purpose of separating the fresher from the staler, both fie and his men were seized with sickness and excessive salivation, accompanied with disordered bowels. He tried some of the same old flour in his own family, and the consequence was that three of his chil dren were seized with violent purgings and sickness, as in the case of cholera, which disease soon after made its appearance in London. After attentively watching its progress, be was convinced it arose from the consumption of old bread-stuffs, and he accordingly determined not to suppl y any old flour to his customers The result proved that not one of them had the cholera, even in its most incipient stage, although exposed to the same disadvantages in other respects as those around them, who were daily falling victims to this sad malady. He wrote to Sir Robert Pcel, who was then Prime Minister, and his letter was referred to the Board of Health, who granted him an interview, bid as he was not a medical man they merely listened to him, and there the matter ended. On ono occasion he became aware that a quantity of stale wheat was about being shipped from London to Leeds, and he foretold that if that corn was allowed to reach its destination the. cholera would follow in its wake. Within 15 days after? the cholera broke out in Leeds with great virulence. Ire - said that in all the Russian wars against Turkey and- Poland fle cholera had always accompanied the armies of either country when traversing navigable rivers ; and in the war of independence in Poland, 'when news arrived that Warsaw was short of proilsions and had surrendered, he prognosticated that the cholera would visit that part, because he knew that War saw would have to draw upon the same old stores that had previously given to the Russians that disease. The visitation did come, attended with the most calamitous results. He did not complain of five or seven years old wheat ? He alluded to that which was received fu the above countries in lieu of money for taxes, and which was stored in warehouses for 15 or 20 years without see ing daylight. It was remarkable that cholera rarely ap peared during years of plenty; and in India, when failures of the rice crops produced a scarcity of food, the old stores were ransacked, and, as a matter of course, the cholera commenced its ravages. In 1849, when cholera again visited London, and the armistice between Den mark and Holstein removed the embargo on corn-laden ships bound for London, he wrote to the Board of Health, anticipating a supply of fresh corn, to say that one of the causes of cholera was about to be removed, and that there would be an abatement of the disease of 100 per cent. in twelve days. The subsequent returns issued by that body showed an abatement exceeding his calculations, fully establishing it as a fact,. that as soon as the new wheat got into consumption the cholera de creased, and ultimately disappeared. He condemned the practice of abstaining from fresh vegetables and fruit, because it led to an increased consumption of bad bread-stuff. He said the disease was more general near navigable rivers or watercourses, where the import of the stale corn takes place, and is warehoused, because the consumption was greater in such localities, the ex pense of carriage preventing its being sent far inland. The disease more frequently showed itself in large insti tutions, such as prisons, unions and emigr an t s hi ps , where cheapness w as th e chief object in their contracts for bread. It was only when fresh corn became so scarce as to make a great difference in the price, and nearly the whole traie were tempted to resort tothe old stores, that the cholera attacked the higher circles, where there was neither want of cleanliness nor over-crowded habita tions to generate or aid the disease. When the cholera was raging at Newcastle-on-Tyne, he went down there to prevail upon the authorities to try the experiment of oatmeal or some other substitute for bread in the union or prison, but without success, as the general opinion was that cholera proceeded from want of cleanliness, notwithstanding the disease continued unabated after the town was cleansed and purified, and it did not diminish until the corn market introduced a supply of fresh corn. He was satisfied if new wheat was tried to the exclusion of the old, in any place where the cholera existed, that the disease would not only be stopped immediately, but that no new case would appear atter twelve hours ; and in cue of failure, he would willingly pay every expense attending the experiment. He concluded by observing that he should be happy to furnish every information and assistance to any s9ientifie gentleman who would take up the matter, and would show in what manner old wheat may act, through the animalcules it contains, to generate cholera - Alderman Farebrother asked the gentleman what he wished him to do on the subject ? The Gentleman said his object in coming forward was not for any personal gain, but to avert a great national calamity, which he thought might be done if inspectors were appointed for the corn markets, the same as for the dead meat markets, with power to seize all wheat offered for sale th it was unfit for human food. Alderman Farebrother said it was the duty of the Legislature to appoint inspectors if deemed requisite, and if they declined to do so, the magistrates had no power to interfere ; but he thought that any one offering for sale corn that was unfit for human food would be liable to the same penalties as the vendors of bad meat. The gentleman then thanked the alderman for his kind attention, and after expressing a hope that the press would give publicity to his statement he retired. Somo.—The first outbreak of cholera in 'the vicinity was about 14 days ago, and with such virulence did the epidemic rage that during that period no less than 150 deaths occurrel in the immediate neighbourhood. The applications for relief in cases of choleraic diarrahcea at present averaged CO per diem at the Westminster Dis pensary, the pecuniary resources of which were in a very bad condition. In consequence of the excessive mor tality a great number of those who were able to do so had shut up their shops and houses and quitted the vicinity for a time. Mr. Tilley, the surgeon of the dis pensary, was seized with cholera on Sunday evening shortly after having attended 6)1110 cases of cholera, and co violent was the attack that in a few hours, notwith standing every effort of medical skill, his case became hopeless. The unfortunate gentleman lingered for some hours, and then expired. Precautions are now being taken against the spread of the disease by various sani tary measures, and particularly by watering the streets with a solution of chloride of lime. ST. BOTOLPU, ALDGATE WITHOUT.—A Government inspector from the Board of Health has been visiting the worst parts of this densely populated and neglected parish, which is immediately in the vicinity of the Lon don and St. Katharine Docks, the Tower of London, the Royal Mint, the Trinity House, &c. ST. GEORGE'S - IN-THE-EAST.—The mortality in the dis• trict of St. George's in the East is much on the increase, and yesterday a fourth death was recorded in one family named Darlow, and the mother of the tour deceased persons is now under the care of Mr. Ryan, the sur geon of Leman-street, Goodman's-fields, and no hopes are entertained of her recove.iy, as consecutive fever has set in. The husband is a cabinet-maker, and resides in Ellen-street, Back Church-lane. The house is appa rently free from nuisances of any kind. The husband is alen under the care of the same medical gentleman. Two deaths have taken place on board ships in the London Docks, but no inquests have been held on the bodies. A quack medicine vendor, named John Stephens, of the Ratcliffe-highway (a disciple of Dr. Coffin), is carrying on an extensive business by the sale of narcotic poisons, which include lobelia and other powerful herbs, which is sold to the poorest class of persons, who can obtain a cholera powder for twopence. The vendor las been pro wetted by the Apothecaries' Company for the illegal traffic, by order of Palmerston and was fined 201. ; but he still carries on the sale of the nostrum; and visits his patients at their own houses. The number of cases of cholera at the hospital in Bath-terrace, Back-road, is much increased, but the accommodation is good. HULL.—The records of the registrars of births and deaths prove the health of Hull to bo at the present mo ment, and to have been for the last six months, better than the rest of the years that has occurred since the in stitution of the registration districts. The most diligent efforts have been made to put the town into a healthy condition, and especially the alleys, squares, and more confined parts of the town. EDINBURGH.—Since our last six cases of cholera have been reported in this city. One on Saturday from Tan field ; another on Sunday from the Pleasance ; two o Monday from B runsw i c k- street and Forrest road, then latter having come from Corstorphine ; andreotromwito_brymiedsagtieeigr day, . DORCHESTER. —Cholera in an n its onew of;s°tra nant Asiatic cholera—has, beyond all possibility of doubt, broken out in Fordington ; and, it is feared and little doubted in consequence of the clothesr and bedding f om the barracks of the convicts having been taken wa s h e d . d e ff ow ee n te d to (t E h a e st elo F ti o l r e d s in a g n t d on he t d o di b n e (gaboouftup67 r e e o n n t v a i l et e s a ) ci i i i ) i , two and stimieallcot clothesta This was ards of 700 cottages dried in per th ic streets afterwards. The women had askedwhetehepruthe could not wash them at the barracks, and were refused, y partly on the ground of the laundry having been turned into a barrack for the Pensioner Guards, and partly be cruse women are not to be admitted into the barracks. Last Thursday this dread disease first made its appear ance, and the death of a child, nearly close to where the clothes had been washed, followed. Since then, to the present time (Tuesday night), there have been alto gether nine deaths, and three or four are now lying in a dangerous state with this horrible disease. A. meeting was instantly convened at the Town-hall, to take immediate steps to stop the spread of the disease, l so far as p rac ti ca bl e. Each even i ng s ince similar , meeting has taken pl ace , h ouse -to-house visitaticli u other plans having entered ist?.ry**orite hum?. been adopted, and subscriptions ~~ TFIE GUN BOATS. The Snake, the sixth launched of the screw steam-de spatch gun-boats, immediately after being launched, was taken to John Penn and Sans' wharf at Deptford to have her engines put on board. The Pelter, one of the light draught gun-boats, having had her engines put on board, has been taken to Northfieet to be made ready for service. THE COLOSSUS-THE SCREW PROPELLER. The Colossus, 81, screw, Captain Robinson, will receive ber crew from the hulk in Portsmouth Harbour on Monday. She has been fitted with Mr. W. W. Bonney's patent gutta-percha speaking tubes from the poop netting to the engine-room, from the poop netting to the knight heads, from before the mizen, too, tubes are carried to each deck at fora and aft quarters for gunnery orders. These tubes have met the approval not only of the captain and officers of the Colossus, but also of the whole of the dockyard officers. Tbey were officially tried yesterday by the patentee and the official staff of the dockyard, and they were found to transmit all orders in a full .natural tone, quite to the surprise, as well as the gratification of all present, although some of tho tubes wero above 200 feet long, with very tortuous leads. The ships already fitted with this invention are the Royal George, 120 ; James Watt, 91; Algiers, 91 ; Nile, 91; Exmouth, 91; Hannibal, 91 ; Malacca, 17 ; Royal Albert, 121 (now fitting) ; the Cossack, 36; the Curlew, 8; the Curagoa, 31 ; the Harrier, 16; the Swallow, 8; and the Termagant, 24, will most probably be fitted, their commanders having requested to have the tubes applied to their vessels. THE RUSSIAN PRISONERS. The Royal William, "120, Capt. Kingcome, arrived in the Downs, from the Baltic, at nine o'clock on Thursday even ing, and remained there till yesterday morning, when she proceeded down Channel with a fresh easterly wind, having received orders to proceed to Brest with the Rus sian prisoners. The Algiers, 91, screw, Captain Charles Talbot, ran into Sheerness Harbour yesterday at three p.m., and dis charges the 450 prisoners, together with seven women and five children, on board the .Benbow, her Majesty's prison-ship. Only one prisoner died on the passage. The Sphinx, steam-sloop, at Sheerness, Captain Wm. J. C. Clifford, arrived at 8 p.m. yesterday, from the Downs, with Russian prisoners brought home in the St. Vincent. The following Russian officers arrived by the Sphinx :—Lieut. Niketin, Commissaries Jverskoj and Porhinsky ; Ensigns Dalin, Grotenfelt, Backman, and Leistedt ; with 251 soldiers, all Russians : also the under mentioned Finnish officers :—Major Grahn, Captain von Essen, Captain Sneliman, Lieutenants Hook, Dalin, Grotenfelt, and Bollfras ; also 122 Finnish soldiers, 10 wives of soldiers and three children, making a total of 356. The Sphinx left Lodsund on the 20th ult. in com pany with Commodore Grey's squadron ; on the same day took the Royal William in tow, and towed her into a fair wind off the island of Gothland, then proceeded to Elsinore to coal ; left Elsinore on the 281 h ult., and took the St. Vincent iu tow the same evening. She anchored off Foreness on the 31st. On the Ist inst. received the in telligence of the death of Captain Mansell, caused by a diseased heart, after eight days' illness; same day took the St. Vincent in tow, kept her in tow until the 4th, towing her through the Great Belt. On casting off, the following melancholy accident occurred :—At about ten p.m. Captain Clifford was standing on the starboard side of the upper deck between the after eponson bollard timber and the mainmast, the 14-inch towing hawser being passed round the mainmast from the turns on the atter bollard, in consequence of the foremast bollard in the after sponson having been carried away on towing the. St. Vincent on her outward passage to the Baltic, which prevented them getting proper turns over the two bol lards for security. On Captain Clifford giving the order to veer away the hawser from off the mast, the end with a sudden jerk ran round the mast and struck him across both his legs just below his knees; he fell to the deck, and upon the surgeon examining him after he was placed in his cabin, it was found that both legs had received simple fractures. A seaman, named James Brooks, who was standing near the captain, received a slight contusion on his left foot. We are happy to say he is going on very favourably under the medical care of the surgeon, Mr. John C. Sabben. On the day after the accident she took the St. Vincent in tow, and anchored in the Downs on the 6th inst. Ou the 7th the St. Vincen tranferred her prisoners into the Sphinx and Janus, and they arrived at Sheerness on the Bth at 8 p.m. with the Janus—the Janus having the following officers and men prisoners on board, all of whom have been put on board the Benbow prison ship (under charge of the Commander and officers of the Devonshire, assisted by Lieutenant Everest) :—C. Kerman, surgeon of the Artillery Company in the forts at Bomarsund ; 132 Russian soldiers, 9 women, and 13 children ; 20 of these prisoners were convicts des tined for Siberia, but sent to Bomarsund to assist in work ing the guns in the principal fort. They are reported to be most depraved characters, and have been condemned to Siberia, many of them for murders, and others for detest able crimes, and many of the latter have undergone the first part of their sentences by being unconditioned as men for their future lifetime by the Emperor's order. The Sphinx was commissioned on the 24th of May. She con veyed and landed French troops at Bomarsund, and took a very prominent part in the bombardment of the forts at that place. Generally speaking the crew have been very healthy, thanks to the continued and prompt attention of Dr. Sabben, who has been indefatigable in his watchful ness over every officer and man, as need required, in check ing the premonitory symptoms, by which actual cholera has been kept in chock throughout the ship. Strange to say, three fresh cases, of a very virulent nature, broke out among the prisoners just as they were being put on board the Devonshire yesterday. Yesterday, at 2 p.m., Captain Lord Frederick Kerr, . Flag-Captain to the Commander-in-Chief, came on boar( • the Devonshire, and informed them that their applicatim for subsistence-money had been granted, and that th e Adrairolty bid oont an order down to the Cemmander.in. ROYAL ARTILLERY. The men of the Royal Artillery returned unfit for ser vice assembled at the Ordnance Hospital, Woolwich, yes terday, at 9 a.m., and were medically inspected by the surgeons of the division to which they are attached. Sixty fine horses for the field batteries arrived in Wool wich garrison on Thursday, having been purchased by Lieutenant-Colonel Wingfield in Yorkshire, and sent up to head-quarters for exercise in their new employment. THE DISEASE ON BOARD THE HANNIBAL. SHEERNESS, Sept. B.—By a letter from the Hannibal, whilst in the Downs, we have a melancholy account of the continued disease ant d ea th s i n h er up to the time of the letter being written. The writer says : " We do not know on board how long we shall remain here, as it is reported we are to perform quarantine ; even if it is so, it will most likely be for a few days. God knows we have had sickness enough on board the Hanni bal to deserve quarantine. I would not in my other letters sent you, my dear wife, alarm you and the children with the truth, but now that we are comparatively speaking free from sickness, I can tell you some of our misfortunes. The day after we left Calais the small-pox broke out amongst the troops on board; a few days after, typhus fever appeared amongst all hands ; then cholera came on top of all, so that we had three horrible and contagious diseases at one and the same time. Well, after the French troops were landed, the rem a in s of disease left on board *ere partly .blown away bY our, leaving the anchorage where our division of the fleet was laying, and cruising about outside the Sound ; then, when the forts of Aland were stormed and taken, the Russian prisoners refused to deliver themselves up to the French, and so we had to take them aboard of us. They had not been on board an hour when two of them died from malignant cholera, so there we were again. We have been cruising about for tho last eighteen days, and I think if the deaths had not at last diminished, the commodore would not have got home yet, as we all believe he was anxious that no deaths should bo cur for a few days before arriving. However, I believe he will be out in his calculations, for there is one of the prisoners who is now nearly at hie last gasp. Poor fellows, they suffer dreadful. We have indeed had death stalking through our ship, and no mistake. We have buried seven of a day, and have had from 180 to 200 on the sick list, all slung in hammocks on the lower deck. From the gun-room door to the foremast bitts the hammocks and cots were slung, some four and some six deep. lam thus particular, as I have no doubt some ac counts of our goings on have appeared in the newspapers. We hear on board that the fleet in the Black Sea have also suffered severely, and also that cholera is prevalent at home ; but you can have no idea of the little we know of what is authentic. Some say we go to Sheerness, some to the Motherbank. We are all for the first ; the other is a yellow flag station ; but I shall not close this until I know that something decisive is to take place. All I know is, that we aro now riding here with forty-five fathoms of chain out. We have only a few tons of coals on board, and only a few days' supply of other necessaries. How ever, anything can be got here on the shortest notice. There is a steam-boat alongside waiting orders, and if we go to the westward she will take invalids to Chatham Melville Hospital. _ _ "We arc off to the westward. Orders have just been given to the purser, we find, to supply slops for the sick going to hospital. The anchor is now being hove up; we are off—we do not know- where—steering west, with a fine E.S.E. wind for us. I must tell you our third lieutenant, the Hon. 0. W. M. Lambert, is sent to Deal Hospital amongst the invalids. From the time the ship left Calais to her return to the Downs he has been an invalid, and the greater part of the time confined to his cot. There is no doubt he will be invalided. He has been, and is still, suffering from internal abscess." ARRIVALS AT MALTA. A letter from Malta, dated Sept. 2, says : " The only arrival of troops since my last was by the Golden Fleece on the 27th ult., on which day she came into port, having on board Lieutenant-Colonel Ainslie ; Majors Stuart and Lord West (Lieut.-Colonel); Captains Haines (Lieut.-Colonel), Hon. J. L. Browne, Kirkland, Dalyell, Boldero, Legh, and Finley ? Lieutenants Steward, Aldridge, Templeman, Sh,offield, Carleton, Clarke, King, Dunne, Hurt, Killeen, and Image ; Second Lieutenants Clarke, Stephens, Beaumont, and Lee; Ensigns St. Clair and Fowler (Adjutant); Paymaster Hawker, Quarter master Cassidy, Surgeon M`Kiunon, M.D. ; Assistant- Surgeons Greer, West, M.D.; and Patrickson ; Commis sariat officers Goold, Briuden, Foslung, and Watkingt 974 rank and file of the 21st Fusiliers, and 14 horses. " All the men landed ex Medway are now fully recovered from the cholera, and have been released from the quaran tine to which they were subjected. " The portion of the outward India mail, via Marseilles, reached Malta on the 30th, and the bulk by the Tagus on the day following. " Mr. Wotton, a gentleman from the Peninsular and Oriental Company's office in London, reached this island per Tagus, to assume the duties of the company's superin tendent hero vice Captain Lindquist, superseded. " The Tagus proceeded to Alexandria yesterday. " Our news from the East that reached by the French mail is very meagre. It may be summed up in the one pas sage, that the army, well provisioned and supplied with all necessaries for the expedition, has embarked in high spirits for the Crimea, and was to leave on the Ist (yester day) for its destination. "Lord John Hay goes from the Wasp to the Fury, and Commander Chb.mbers to the Wasp." The Malta Mail, under date of Constantinople, Ang.2s, ova : `` By the French mail-boat, which arrived here on 31st ult., news has reached from Varna to the 25th. " Three steam-ships wore lying off Sebastopol to watch proceedings, and it seems tolerably certain that not more than 4 1 ,000 Russians aro in the Crimea. "The cholera, after committing fearful ravages both in the army and navy of tho allies, is abating rapidly. Tho French have suffered more severely than t h e English, although our loss has been far from trifling. Among the names of the staff offic ers th at have been repor t e d as vic tims, in addition to those already made public, are Lieu tenant-Colonel Ainslie, 93d, and Lioutenant-Colonel Treve lyan, Coldstream Guards ; and Lie u t ena nt-Colonel Doyle, Assistant-Adjutant-G enera l on the staff of Sir R. E ng l and, is so unwell as to have re s i gne d hi s appo i ntmen t , an d is on hi s wa y t o E ng l an d b y the Palmyra transport. " In the ships the cholera was hot enough. The Britannia bad had 132 men sick at one t i me, of whom, i n 48 h ours, 110 had died, while the Queen had not had a single case." LIEUTENANT PERRY'S CASE. The following letters have been addressed to the editor of the Times sin,—Under what species of hallucination the Com mander-in-Chief was induced to ratify the extraordinary sentence on Lieutenant Perry it is difficult, no doubt, to conceive. Is it possible that he considered that wore Lieu tenant Perry acquitted, not only would the 46th Regiment stand undeniably condemned, b ut the reputation of the whole army would be compromi sed, and so was led to sacrifice an innocent person t o avoid unpleasant con soquences to many ? Two things are now imperative— someimt toaybepurged of the odious scan dals whichstink all undefiled nostrils ; and a ti be fou n d for such a mockery of means or other must be inst antly devised by which the military sub sh professionatNe substitute m a must e justice and satire on honour as the Wi ndsor tribunal has now finally proved a court - martial to b e. Perhaps it would be best to appeal first to the Crown, hAve had a good u.d many Royal commissions—a c ommission on sewers, for example, with a blue-book on various kinds of filth ; let us now ask for a commission on barracks, with a blue-book on the causes of the pernicious atmosphere lately revealed to exist in certain officers' quarters. Then let regulations be issued for the immediate purification of the said quar ters from all unwholesome influences, tho presence ox un clean bodies, refuse characters, and the like ; and, lastly, let us have, if we may, a moral board of health, a wise, ex perienced, and just tribunal, ter' try all offenders against these regulations. Surely if we can abate the virulence of cholera by sanitary precautions, we can do a little, by the same sort of care for cleansing and due ventilation, towards preventing barrack rooms from becoming the nuclei of moral infection. As for justice towards offend ers, we have not much difficulty about that in civil mat ters—why should we make ourselves contemptible by such blundering in our military courts? Setting aside the case of Mr. Perry, as a specimen of court-martial ad ministration take tho totally incomprehensible award in that of Lieutenant Greer —" Acquitted, but ordered to sell out !" Iu the name of common sense, how is this ? On what principles is a prisoner acquitted and punishment awarded to him in one breath ? Verily, this military judge and jury is worthy to be held in everlasting remem brance, and let them have a niche, Sir, in the Valhalla of wiseacres by the side of that celebrated jury of Milesians who pronounced the prisoner not guilty, with a recommen dation not to do it again.—l remain, Sir, your obodienl servant, d Sept.

WORCESTER, Friday Evening.—The concluding con cert at the College-hall last night was honoured with s crowded attendance ; and never, perhaps, was the old monkish refectory fill e d w i t h so large and so brilliant a gathering. The programme presented some very attrac tive features, including a selection from Weber's Oberon. Miss Dolby's appearance in the orchestra at the com mencement of the concert was the signal for a warm weilcsme. She appeared nearly recovered from her indis position, and went through all the pieces set down for her without any apparent difficulty. The overture to Oberon was played in a finished man ner, and the music of the fairies in the opening chorus was delivered with characteristic .delicacy. Sims Reeves delivered the glorious song "O 1 'tie a glorious sight to see " magnificently ; and produced a startling effect in hii delivery of the passage, "The fight is done —the field is won." The characteristic eastern chorus, " Now the evening watch is set, went beautifully. The principal treble parts were sung by Miss Dolby and ' Madame Castellan, and to Clara Novello was assigned the recitative and air, " Ocean, thou mighty monster," which was one of the most magnificent things ever lis tened to. The very first note of the recitative, ringing through the rafters of the old hall, gave earnest of the treat in store. The passage, " And now the sun bursts forth," was a glorious burst of music, and her execu tion of the arduous finale was triumphant, bringing down repeated rounds of applause at its close. After this Mrs. Weiss sang the Mermaid's song, "0 1 'tie pleasant to float on the sea," under disadvantages, but it was given very smoothly, and she also received her mead .of applause. The choruses " Who would stay ?" and., " Let us sail," brought the best part of the concert to a happy termination. Herr Formes then sang his favourite air from the Magic Flute, "Possenti numi," with massive grandeur of effect. He was encored, and sang a German song. Madame Vi ar d o t, i n the air, "Non piu mesta," fro m La Cenerentola, had an opportunity of displaying to ad vantage her wonderful facility of execution. The of a an o h o o k u hour a w v a a n s t a a g l 1 e o w o e f , , b Which h t a i c k h . sin gular chorus of Dervishes, from Beethoven's Ruins of i l ty o f o af the quarter company Athens, finished the first part of the concert, after which a th n e in m t a e jo v i a ing a cool promenade in the • conveniently adjacent cloisters. Mendelssohn's symphony in A mayor, which r, opened the second part, went off admirabl but many thought r it too lung. Signor Gardoni was in the air from La Favorita, ~ s e . se t rvedly ti e l uo an el the brilliancy with which Madame r°gen executed Castellan . the delightful air from Linda • lace di dt Chamounz, "o i quest' anima.," drew down It. Blagrove played a fantasia up on the concertina, and obtained d eserved plaudits. Miss Dolby de lighted her audience with her Irish and Scotch melodies, "ne Oh, Lay of Dublin," and " Over the Sea." No o knows better than Miss Dolby how to sing a ballad, and the simplicity with which she sang these airs charmed everybody, while their freshness came in as a pleasing relief to the more ornate selections of the even ing. In consequence of the lateness of the hour the air from Sonnambula, set down f or Clara Novelle. was airs amused a now-tired omitted. Viardot's Spanish h s from Flotow's Martha, audience ; and the quarte , t 'was s ung by Clara Novelle, " Wass soli ich darn sagen, Miss Dolby, G-ardoni, and Herr Formes, amidst a gene ral move.
