Yesterday the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty gave notice at the Underwriters' and Merchants'-rooms at Lloyd's in the Royal Exchange, as also at Liverpool, that they require a number of good coppered ships, of from 600 to 800 tons burden (new measurement), to be employed in the regular transport of troops for three months certain, and further, should the public service require them, at the rate of 20s. per ton per calendar month, to take the place of others in the Black Sea.

By the Court—Do you know that Colonel Garrett re proached Lieutenant Perry for reporting, and called him a fool for his pains ? Witness—l do not. By the Court—ls it within your knowledge that Lieu tenant Perry made a threat to the colonel, either by word of mouth or in writing, that he would appeal to the general of the district? Witness—lt is not. By the Court—Are you aware of Colonel Garrett re primanding an officer for annoying Lieutenant Perry, and was Lieutenant Perry subject to annoyance after this reprimand ? Witness—l am not at all aware of the circumstances, either of the reprimand or of the subsequent annoyance. By the Court—Will you state the particular case when the complaint was made and was ineffectual, and when did it happen ? Witness—The case of ill-treatment—or of practical joke—alluded to by myself was that of a subaltern of my own company ; it was Ensign Bythesea, in 1842. Major-General Wetherall—l wish that answer to be recorded. You might as well go back to the battle of Waterloo. I only protest against your going back so many years.

In a few days, In 2 vols., with Portraits, 215., T HE QUEENS BEFORE THE CONQUEST, By Mrs. MATTHEW HALL. The news of the war s h ows act i vity in the Bal tic, and stagnation on the shores of the Black Sea. On Tuesday last a main attack on Bomarsund was to be made by the allied fleets and the French troops in the Baltic. An army of 10,000 French men, and 2,000 English Marines, co-operated against the Russians. The result was foreshadow. eel pretty plainly by one fact related in the des patch of our correspondent. A nnouncement had been made in all the churches that Russian sway in the Aland Islands was over. The statement can scarcely be call e d premature. Telegraphic advices from Stockholm, of the 15th, report that " one fort had been taken," and Sir Charles Napier is not likely to stop till the islands, once the pro perty of Sweden and still occupied by Swedes, have been completely wrung from the grasp of the Autocrat, who has held them now about half a century. These deeds in the North should pique our forces in Turkey to action of some sort. The letter of our correspondent at the Camp near Varna draws a very painful picture of the results of inaction and mismanagement there. Who is to blame for the sufferings of the English troops ? That our soldiers should suffer will surprise no one who remembers that they have over them officers like Lord De Ros. By whose infatuation could that extraordinary specimen of the " titled" E ng li s h officer have attained his pre sent position ? Be his patron whom he may, he has much to answer for. Sir George Brown also will be hereafter called' to account for more than one blunder. When the Russians crossed the Danube and en tered the Dobrudscha, we foretold the ravages they would suffer from disease. When the English were landed at Varna, we again drew attention to the fatal character of the country our troops were ap proaching. The Russians were the first to pay the price of their ignorant temerity. Our own regi ments are now suffering the penalty of their com manders' neglect of friendly suggestions about sanitary laws. A most startling series of statements will be found in our letter from the camp of Monastir. The charge is flatly made that, in addition to being kept in that state of inaction which begets despond ency and disease, the men are half-starved. No wonder that " a general gloom prevails," in spite of orders to the bands to play "lively marches." Who can enjoy music or be lively with a stomach but half-filled, and that with Bulgarian beef? Marching and counter-marching before breakfast with empty stomachs, and breathing an atmosphere far from the healthiest, cannot fail to tell in a very deadly fashion on the gallant fellows who left our shores, as it were but the other day, cheering and cheered, and on the way, as it seemed, to fight in a good cause, instead of famish in an aguish camp. Well may the authorities of the army in Turkey object to the presence of any correspondent but one in the Russian interest. Here is a picture for Englishmen to contemplate : It may sound strange, and it may appear incredible to people at home, but still it is a fact, that the troops out here in Bulgaria are half-starving. I am fully aware that such a statement will appear monstrous to those who recollect the statements (and very correct ones, too) of the liberal provision made for the necessities and com forts of the soldiers. The people of England have read, and rejoiced in reading, that the Oriental expedition had been provided for with an almost paternal care by the country ; that care had been taken, not only that the J rations of the soldiers were good and plentiful, but that the smaller necessities and even the luxuries of life should accompany them on their march, and be retailed to them at cost price by the commissariat. Rice, coffee, tea and sugar, ale and porter, were to be sent in the rear of the army; our soldiers in Turkey were to have all the creature comforts to which they had been accustomed in England at prices considerably lower than the average of English prices, and the nation to fight and bleed for which they were sent out marked its grati tude beforehand by making a liberal provision for the wants and comforts of its defenders. It is a well-known fact that enormous stores for the use of the army were bought at the public expense and sent out to Tur key, but it is not less a fact that the troops have had little benefit, if any, from those stores—that they were late at Gallipoli, irregular at Scutari, wanting at Varna, and utterly absent from the day the troops left for Ala dyn and Devna. The commissariat was unwilling or un able, or both, to send stores to the distance of 20 miles from the depots, and yet the nation had willed it that those stores should follow the army on its march across whole provinces ; and most assuredly the gentlemen of the commissariat are appointed and paid, not for any special merits of their own, but simply for the purpose of forwarding and distributing those stores. The effects of such Commissariat arrangements are most melancholy on the health and efficiency of the army. Order received y all book,ellers Published for H.

A circular memorandum has been isssued from the Horse Guards, which states : " The Essex Regiment of Rifle Militia having re ceived orders to move from the Tower of London to Ganterbuay, the General Co mmanding-in -Chief desires to express to the commanding officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, his entire satisfaction for their very exemplary conduct during the time they have per formed the grrrison duties of the Tower. " The General Commanding-in -Chief deeply laments the loss which thernilitia service has sustained by Lieut.- Colonel Lord Jocelyn's death, and he condoles with the Essex Rifle Militia or losing a commanding officer who had so entirely gained their attnchment by his attention to it their . welfare, an d t h e i r confidence by his professional abilies - OFFICIAL VISIT TO WOOLWICH. Rear-Admiral the Hon. Richard Saunders Dundas, C. 8., and Captain Peter Richards, C. 8., Lords of the Admiralty, arrived at the Royal Marine Barracks, Wool wich, at half-past 11 o'clock yesterday, and were received by the Royal Marines, under the command of Colonel Samuel B. Ellis, C. 8., the men presenting arms and the band playing the National Anthem. Their Lordships, acompanied by the Commandant of the Division, Col, S. R. Wellesley, Assistant-Adjutant-General, and staff officers, proceeded to inspect the men, and expressed themselves highly pleased with their clean and excellent appearance. The companies then marched past at slow and quick time, headed by the band, and under the com mand of Lieu.-Colonel Mitford. Their Lordships next proceeded to the building erected for ship-gun drill prac tice, where they were received by Capt. Paine, instruc tor in naval gunnery. They there witnessed the instruc tion the men of the Royal Marines receive in tying knots, in splicing ropes, and other duties of the blue jackets, which render the marine corps so useful when sent to join a ship on her being commissioned. The great gun exercise was carried on with eight 32-pounder guns, and was performed with a celerity of movement and precis sion which elicited their Lordships' highest approbation, the practice on each occasion of loading being with double 32-pounder shot. On leaving the ship gun drill exercise their lordships paid a visit to the boys' and girls' schools, and appeared pleased with the clean and neat manner in which the children were attired, and the satisfactory pro ess of their instruction, considering their age. From he schools their lordships proceeded to the Hospital or Royal Marine Infirmary, over which they were conducted r, 3 7 Dr. Christie and Dr. Jenkins, Dr. 0. Evans, Deputy Inspector of Hospitals, being absent on leave. The wards for the patients were all very clean, well ventilated, and kept in the best order. The non-commissioned officers' nbi ary was next vi , ited, and, then proceeding to the front of the barracks, they inspeeted the barrack-rooms for the men, and at the rear the lavatories and baths for their accommodation.

The large ships on the West India station seem to have been everywhere but the right place, and nothing larger than the colonial built 3-gun schooner Bermuda was to be found at Greytown to witness the atrocities of the American corvette Cyane. Had the Calypso, 18, Captain Forbes, or the Vestal ; 26, Captain Thompson, or even the little brig Exprees, been there, the Yankee would not have dared to do that for which he will assuredly be called to account. The fact is the force in the West Indies, as on all other stations, has been most injudiciously reduced to swell the Baltio and Black Sea fleets. The good old rule has not been observed, that wherever a foreign man-of-war may present himself he will find a British pendant of superior force. Some of these days we shall have a catastrophe to deplore much more serious than the Greytown affair, which is only comparable with the Sinope massacre.

On arriving at the dockyard their lordships entered the official residence of Cow inodGre Shepherd, and shortly after proceeded to the basin at the west end of the yard, to inspect the Arrow screw steam despatch gun-boat, expected to be ready for sea this afternoon.

Witness—lt might. Prisoner—May I ask the privilege of putting one question through to Court, the prevent the necessity of having of having the witness recalled ? The President—Yes. Prisoner.

The Lords of the Admiralty y esterday g ave no ti ce th a t they intended to reduce the amount of imprean retained THE LORD AUCKLAND. Orders have been received at Plymouth for the re embarkation of the troops from the receiving -ship Endy mion into the transport Lord Auckland, Capt. Skinley, in Plymouth sound, bound to Bombay. Captain Lock, the naval surveyor to the East India Company, has thoroughly inspected the transport, and when provided with provisions, in place of those consumed in harbour, she will be ready for sea. The soldiers will probably join her on Monday. No new cases of sickness have appeared for some time. Mrs. Bardsley, wife of the deceased corporal,- followed her husband on Sunday. The whole of this family, father, mother, and two chil dren, have been swept off by cholera. Three convales cent cases were discharged on Sunday, and yesterday there I was on board the hospital-ship Endymion only one case left, that of a soldier suffering from extreme debility, following a choleraic attack. Assistant-Surgeon Wm. B. Dalby, of the Royal Hospital, who volunteered •to take charge of the military and other cholera patients from the Lord Auckland, and who has fulfilled that duty alone from the first, appears to have been eminently successful in his responsible and difficult t as k ; and Major-General Sir Harry Smith has expressed his ap proval of the satisfactory manner in which he has treated the unfortunates who have been placed under him. CAPTAIN OF GREENWICH HOSPITAL. Captain Mark Halpen Sweny (1838), has been appointed one of the resident captains of Greenwich Hos pital, vice Dickenson, deceased. The following is a sketch of his career in the service. We may add that Captain Sweny for many years has been found actively engaged in the managing duties of most of the naval charitable institutions. He was born in 1785, and entered the navy June 5, 1798, as first-class volunteer on board the Formidable, 98, commanded in the Channel by the present Sir James Hawkins Witshead ; and in February, 1799, he became midshipman of the Castor, 32, Captain Edward Leveson Gower, in which frigate he appears to have been severely wounded while fitting at Plymouth.

They have been somewhat numerous, and yet they have been uniformly most scrupulous.

Prisoner— Do you think that only twelve men of the company not being more than twenty miles from head quarters, and trains passing daily between head-quarters and the detachment, would be a sufficient reason for another company being taken from the bottom of the list, and being sent on foreign service ? Witness—l can scarcely form an opinion. That is o all f opinion. n a i n o o. say I leave o h n e o skunbotclte.d knowledge t o is f th m e er ely matter circ umstances. Prisoner—Be kind enough to look at this Army List, and state which companies should have gone, according to her Majesty's regulations, on foreign se rv i ce ? Witness—Withont any previous knowledge of the circumstances, I can give no answer to the question. Prisoner—l would here hand in the states of the different companies, but one of them is mislaid. I am told it is destroyed, and it is the very company that I am most anxious to refer to. I want the state of the light company on the 14th of July. (After a pause.) I shall not trouble the Court with any more questions. I wish to show that it was not Lieutenant Shervinton and Captain Hardy who should have gone to Turkey. By the Court—When did you quit the 46th Regi ment ? Was it prior to the prisoner being placed under arrest for certain misconduct at Manchester ? Witness- 7 i left tho regitaeut is October hut, at Prisoner—Do you recollect me being on detachment at Cork when under the command of Captain Colin Campbell, and do you recollect my writing a letter to you from Middleton, telling you to go and get an answer from Captain Campbell relative to my leave ? Witness—Yes, sir. Prisoner —What were my instructions in that letter ? Witness—To ascertain from Captain Campbell whether Lieut. Perry was to get leave for the day following, and if he did not get leave I was to go over by the three o'clock mail car next morning to Middleton ; and if he did get leave, I was not to go. I went to the mess waiter, who was attending the officers at the time, and asked him to ask Captain Campbell if Mr. Perry had get leave for the day following, and he told me that it was all right, I was to go by the three o'clock car, to let Mr. Perry know if he had not been given leave, in order that he might be in time for the 11 o'clock parade. Prisoner—What mess was that ; and was it not a pri vate mess between Lieutenant Shervinton and other officers in the barrack ; and was I a member of that mess? Witness—To the best of my belief, Captain Campbell, Lieutenant M'Alester, and Lieutenant Shervinton dined together in Mr. Shervinton's room. I never knew Mr. Perry to dine with them. Prisoner—Will you inform the court what state my room used to be in in the morning ? Was or was not my shirt torn and my umbrella broken in the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin ? Witness—ln the Linen-hall Barracks, Dublin, I have known Mr. Perry's room-door to be broken, the lower panel of it, the latch-lock burst and broken off, his broken candles thrown on the floor and smeared on the boards. The collar of his night-shirt was torn, and his room was very " unregular," his things all knocked about in it. The catch of his umbrella was broken. He could not open it. That is all I know about its being broken. No questions were put to this witness either by the prosecutor or the court. Lieutenant Lennard, late of the 46th Regiment, was then called. Prisoner—l believe he is not here. I think a medica certificate has been sent to state he is unable to come, in consequence of an attack of diarrhoea. I have not seen the certificate myself ; but I understand it has been put into the hands of my solicitor. The Deputy Judge-Advocate said—l will read it, if it is required ; but, The Prisoner expressed himself quite satisfied, and would not trouble the Court with the reading of the cer tificate. The President—lt is nearly two o'clock; we will ad journ for ten minutes. Prisoner—Before you adjourn, will you allow me to say a few words ? What I have to state may probably cause an adjournment till to-morrow. He then addressed the Court as follows :—Mr. Lennard, who has been summoned as a witness on my behalf, is, I understand too ill to attend. Ensign Stratton is now in the Turkish service, and cannot, I fear, be obtained. Captain O'Toole, Captain Hardy, Lieutenant Shervington, and Lieutenant Knapp, who are all witnesses material to my defence, were sent to Turkey ; and although , I could greatly strengthen my defence by their evidence, I will, under the circumstances, proceed with my defence rather than continue by protracted delays the present harassing and painful proceedings. As lam conscious of my per fect innocence, may I request that the court may be ad journed until one o'clock to-morrow, when I will read my defence. I shall require to put in the certified ex tracts of the proceedings on Lieutenant Greer's trial, and the state the companies. The Court adjourned for ten minutes, and sat with closed doors until four o'clock. The Court will reassemble to-morrow (this morning) at eleven o'clock. REFORIIATION OF YOUTHFUL, OFFENDERS. —The new act for the bettor care and reformation of youthful offenders in Great Britain has .just been issued. The object of the act is to make use . of reform a t ory sc h ools for the better training of j uven ile offenders. It is en. acted that, on application, the Secret ar y o f S tate may order one of the prison inspectors to report on the rc. formatory establishments. Juvenile offenders may now, on the expiration of a sentence, be sent to a reformatory establishment for not less than two and not more than five years. The Treasury may defray the cost of main t _mance at reformatory schools. Cost of maintenance to be partly recovered from parents and others. Youthful offenders absconding or refusing to conform to the rules way bo Not to A boom of correction AN throe months. Whatever provision may have been made for the food of the troops, I believe there is not a single man—not a general officer, in the camp at Monastir, who will dare to assert that the rations served out to the men are sufficient for their maintenance. * * * * A soldier's daily ration of one pound of this meat, minus the sinews, skin, bones, and other articles unfit for consumption, reduces itself to about one-third of a pound of dry, tough beef, which can be swallowed by dint of hard chewing, and which may be nutritious to a certain ex tent. But it is not too much to say that the troops have for the last two months mainly subsisted on their pound of bread and the meagre soup which hard boiling has extracted from the beef aforesaid. The bread has been good since the soldiers took the baking of it in hand. This is a mercy, for Heaven knows to what state they would have bee❑ reduced if the bread too had been bad. No vegetables, not even dried ones, are included in the soldier's rations. It is evident enough what the results of all this must be. In England we are accustomed to see our soldiers full of robust health—here the men are bronzed with ex posure to the sun and air, but they have got thin, and the muscles of their legs and arms are in an alarming state of softness. I felt the arms and legs of many, and those not men that were on the sick list, and I was quite startled by their leanness, and the unhealthy re laxed condition of the muscles. The generality of the men complain, not of hunger, but of want of appetite. They cannot eat their food, feel weak, and are unable to move. Bad arrangements on the part of those in com mand lead to all this. With weakened frames the soldiers are unable to brave the consequences of an atmosphere charged with malaria ; and cholera enters upon the scene. When the army left Scutari for Varna, and when it became known that spots for encampment had been se lected on the banks of the Devna lake, some of the phy sicians of Pera, men who know the country, told me that the military authorities had pitched almost on the worst locality that could be found in this part of Bulga ria. I was informed that the exhalations from the Devna lake and its marshy meadows are pregnant with disease, and that low fever and dysentery are always to be found in the villages—few and far between—in this part of the country, I thought it my duty at the time to report to you this opinion; as coining - from men competent to judge, whose hopes and wishes were all for the good of our troops and the success of our arms. I know that both Lord de Roleliffe and Lord Raglan were informed of the danger to which the troops were exposed in the encampments which had been selected for them. But it would appear that it is a rule in this war that no opinion shall be listened to and no advice taken. Experience is to be bought, no matter at what price ; and in the pre sent instance the commanders of the army believed in the unhealthiness of the Devna district only when the plague had broken out and the men under their charge were dying around them. The disease which has broken out among our troops is cholera in its most malignant form. It has attacked all the regiments, but chiefly those who were exposed to the currents of air that swept along and carried up the mists from the Devna Lake. In the Rifle Brigade a few cases only occurred , and the 77 th Regiment was spared for several days ; nor did the germs of disease declare themselves until alter their dislocation f Devna to Monastir. The 33d suffered severely. The 88th (Connaught Rangers), too, had serious losses, but the regiments which were most exposed to the poisonous breath of the lake are the 23d Welsh Fusiliers, and the 7th. They were the first to have the disease, and lost the greatest number of men. The first case oc curred on the 22d inst. in the 23d, when two men were attacked with cholera, and died within seven h ours a ft er h t ad ind s ehni shown n al in all themselves.naseThose There symptoms ym s wer p e to a m lm s os the up - turned ey es , th e w hi t i sh was the pale fa ce , wrinkled eram p disposition hand s , Nvi cramped fingers, an d th e yof th the body generally, which those who have seen the ri L l'ignant f orms o f c h o l era ka w in e do r i e wl i so n of a l "iS-tetta'l e eaoonrfdilli(ao' null.

From the 22nd to the 26th instant the 7th Fusiliers lost 18 men ; the 23rd Welsh Fusiliers lost 17, the 33rd lost 9, the 88th had 11 deaths, the 77th 1, the 19th 5, and the Rifle Brigade lost 3 men. It is quite clear that nothing can bo worse than keeping our troops in a sickly neighbourhood, and in idleness —idleness which weakens them both morally and physically. Some active step is im peratively needed in Turkey, almost as much for the health and discipline of our troops as for the preservation of our nationalhonour. The transports are known to be ready—the munitions of war are ample—the cause good. Wallachia is safe, and the Turks are in Bucharest. What, then ' does Lord Raglan wait for ?

MlLLlUM—Yesterday Mr. Bedford held inquests on three more persons who died from Asiatic cholera in the Millbank Penitentiary, making 20 deaths in the whole from the disease within the walls of that prison. The first inquiry WaS into the death of Oliver Pen le bury, aged 50, who was admitted into the gaol on the 25th of May for four years' penal servitude, having been convicted of robbery after he had been dismissed- .es a ticket-of-leave man from Portland Prison, where he had been confined under a sentence of 17 years' transporta tion. The unfortunate man was seized very suddenly with the attack while in school, and, upon being'cons veyed to the infirmary, the usual symptoms of Asiatic cholera set in, and he died the same night from the disease. Mr. Attfield, the resident surgeon, said that the disease, although there were cases every day, had abated 10 per cent. That part of the prison---viz.; pen tagons Wand 2—where most of the patients came from, had been entirely vacated and closed np. Everything was, in fact, being done by the authorities to prevent the spread of the awful scourge, and with that object the prisoners were being continually moved to country , quarters. About 400 had already been sent to Dorches ter Gaol, and upwards of 300 more were going Co be forwarded also to Dorchester to occupy the barracks as well as the prison. The diet, under the direction of Dr. Baly, had been entirely changed, and two ounces of ruin were given to each inmate every day. Verdicts of death from Asiatic cholera were returned in the two cases. The low parts of St. Clement Danes have long been unenviably renrious as one of our chief London strong. holds of fever and cholera, and admirable have been the outposts by which it has been defended from the access of cleanliness and health. To the west the slaughter houses and rotting garbage of Clare-market, and to the north the plethora of corruption bursting out at every pore from the over-fed grave-yard in Portugal-street (only recently closed), have maintained for many years a manufactory of death on the largest scale. And who ever will penetrate into the interior recesses of this sad region may discover for himself how perfect are all the arrangements for securing the largest possible amount of unhealthiness and filth: A labyrinth of lanes, alleys, and courts twists and winds and writhes its ugly. net work over a space of , ground scarcely larger than the open gardens of Li nco l n s-inn-fields—a space which, had it been built upon in accordance with the laws of health and sense, should not have contained a quarter of the buildings that are now crowded on it. Alleys turn out of alleys and courts out of courts. Dusky passage s , between overhanging and black ene d wa ll s, wind oat of and into one another at every third step, as though their main object was to "dodge" the external air and shut it out by the intricacy of their convolutions. High above the pavement soar the foul and crumbling walls, blink ing, like damaged human faces, with their shattered windows, half blind with dirt, and fluttering with coloured rags and paper ; and, leaning towards ' one another overhead, as if in a sort of drunken fondness, or as though the universal stignation and indolence of the place had deprived the very houses of energy enough to keep themselves upright, the tall roofs and craggy stacks of chimneys still further bar out the upper light and air. A CANDIDATE FOR THE CHOLERA.— Considerable consternation has been caused amongst the inhabi tants of the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, Granby-street, and the surrounding districts, in consequence of the following appalling discovery, whish, had it not been made when it was, might have been the means of spreading the cholera, or some other frightful disease, amongst a number of poor families. • From what can be gleaned, it appears that a female, named Sophia Payne, had for some time past resided at No. 53, Granby-place, New-cut, and was supposed to get her living at shoe-binding. She was of such an eccen tric manner that she scarcely ever spoke to any of her neighbours. During the last few days she was sud denly missed from passing to or from her habitation, and, her room remaining fastened, various rumours were soon in circulation in the neighbourhood, so that it was deemed advisable to call in the assistance of the police. No. 55 of the L division was therefore sent for, and upon his knocking at the door and demanding admission, it was at first refused ; but on his threatening to break the door in, it was at length opened, when the officer was nearly prostrated by a fearful stench that arose from the room. The woman appeared to be breathing nearly her last. Dr. Dod was promptly sent for, but he requested the officer to open the window and sprinkle chloride of lime over the floor, as the stench was prejudicial to any one entering the place. Thoseprelinainaries having been done, the room was found in such a horrible state that it would be difficult to describe it, and the woman, who had apparently been trying to starve herself to death, was completely covered with vermin, and could scarcely breathe. Not fewer than sixteen live cats and three live dogs were in the place, whilst the skins and skeletons of a great number of other cats and dogs were found, either sticking to the floor or piled up in different parts of the wretched hovel. Dr. Dod having temporarily attended to the woman, she was removed to Lambeth Workhouse, but she is in such a reduced condition that little hopes can be entertained of her recovery. The authorities, apprehensive of an out. break of cholera, at once adopted measures for purifying the court by means of limewash, &c., and the room has been cleared of the dead cats and dogs. THE CHOLERA IN ESSEX.—The Essex Herald says:— We regret to state that this malignant scourge has visited Essex with all its untamed virulence. On Friday week it first made itself apparent in Epping Union house, and since that time no fewer than 16 inmates have died, and five of them since Friday night. In Romford Union-house, too, the disease has made its appearance, six cases having occurred there last week ; and deaths have taken place at Dagenham and Ilford. CHOLERA IN GLASGOW.—The epidemic has spread still more widely since our last. On Thursday there were 32 cases in the City Parish, 11 in the Barony, and 2 in Govan ; on Friday, 19 cases in the City Parish, 16 in the Barony, 12 in the Govan ; on Saturday and Sabbath, 44 in the City Parish, 16 in the Barony, and 7in the Govan. On Thursday there were altogether 22 deaths reported ; on Friday, 19 ; and on Saturday and Sabbath, 19.—Scottish Guardian. PAISLEY.—In Charleston, a large suburb situated on rising ground to the south of Paisley, a good deal of ex citement and alarm prevail in consequence of several cases of cholera having occurred there within the last day or two. On Saturday and yesterday there were no fewer than four cases in one family, that of a man named White. This man's wife and one child died on Satur day; a son, of about 12 years of age, di e d yesterday ; and a daughte r was so ill yesterday afternoon that no hopes of her recovery were entertained. The locality where these cases have occurred suffered very severely, it will be remembered, on a previous visitation of cho lera.—North British Mail. THE CASE OP MR. EDMUND OTLAHERTY: A commencement of criminal proceedings has been made in this case at Dublin. Mr. H. Lazarus and Mr. Salomans, of that city, appeared on Saturday, with their solicitors, before the sitting magistrate at Capel-street Police-office, and producing bills which they hold, and which are alleged to have been issued by Mr. E. O'Fla herty, late special income-tax commissioner for Ireland, they swore informations to the effect that Mr. Godley and Mr. Gregory, whose names appear on the bills, have repudiated the said bills as forgeries. Application was then made for summonses to compel the attendance of Mr. Godley and Mr. Gregory, and accordingly, in com pliance with the summons which he received, the former of these gentlemen attended in the police court on Tues day, before Dr. Kelly, and•stated that be was obliged to depart that day for London, on pressing official busi ness ; but that he was prepared to give any viva voce evidence that he could on the subject underinvestigation. Mr. Godley subsequently swore an information to the effect that two bills, one at three months for 450/., and the other for the same period for 701., drawn on him by his late colleague, Mr. Edmund O'Flaherty, were for. geries P and that he neither directly nor indir ec tl y aut h o . rised Mr. O'Flaherty to attach his name to these bills. This information was prepared and received with a view to ulterior proceeding. The case of Mr. ex-Commissioner O'Flaherty and his forgeries was resumed on Wednesday, before the magis trates at Capel-street Police-office. Mr. Lazarus deposed that on the 22d of last March Mr. O'Flaherty passed to him a bill for 701., dated the 22d of March , 1854, whi c h purported to be his draft upon Mr. John R. Godley, Commissioner of Income Tax, and to bear the acceptance of that gentleman ; that about the 19th of April he passed to him another bill, purporting also to be his draft on Mr. Godley, and accepted by him, for 450/., and bearing what purported to be the endorsement of Mr. William Keogh, the Solicitor-General ; and that, on the 11th of August, he (Mr. Lazarus) showed the bills to Mr. Godley and Mr. Keogh, who both declared that their names attached to them were forgeries. Mr. Maurice Salomans deposed that on the 2d of May last Mr. O'Flaherty passed to him a bill for 4051., dated the Ist of th a t mont h , and purporting to be theraft of Lord Dunkellin upon and accepted by Lord Bolingbroke, and to have been endorsed by William Keogh, Esq. ; and on his showing the bill to Mr. Keogh, on the 11th of August, he declared the signature of his name upon it to be a forgery. coons Mr. oGn Monday,y, aas already a nd having stated, vi e w a s t d t attended bills s p in on r FlU 4s ra o3 * and 701., d e p ose d th a t t h e s i gnatures of h i s name o i to ndirectly w them. .e r e authorised forgeries, person ne to o ad never directly s ignhisname to The Solicitor-General attended on Wedneg lay in puma. ance of a summons, and deposed that the signature of his name to the bills for 4501. and 4051. were forg a e l r i i_e t s .he ; that he had never authorised Mr. O'Flaherty to put his name to any bills ; he had, on one occasaion a , pp re a c c e a i t v i e o d a payment from him of money he owed him, and for which be (Mr. O'Flaherty) had pas:ed a bill, but he had c.ted:ythat place of resi nelvnerrhepatliyatnoyanlilalptprllenasztlicotnioonisi u hi; et England, relative trate said he would grant a warrant as soon as i n t l o i rm w a as ti o s n ta s te w d er i e n perfected, cted, court but tii a r t i no further o international g to on t e ha t t o e c ff o e p c e t n w h a a s ge m n a , d h e a d v u in r g in s g el t e l deuce, because of the non-existence of a treaty between Denmark and giving up of fugitives from justice. , relative to the iatilheer.tinYahglal DEATH AT A PRAYER MEETING.—Mr. Thomas Speak• man, aged 64, one of the Chatham town missionaries, at. tmded a tea meeting held at Zion Chapel, on Monday week, and was called upon by the Rev.
