Ellis, C. 8., the men presenting arms and the :)and playing the National Anthem. Their Lordships, I.companied by the Commandant of the Division, Col. -; 1 R. Wtllesley, Assistant-Adjutant-General, and staff ,fficers, proceeded to inspect - the men, and expressed .liemselves highly pleased with their clean and excellent ,ppearance. The companies then marched past at slow ind quick time, headed by the band, and under the corn nand df-Lieu.-Colonel Mitford.' Their Lordships next ,roceeded to the building erected for ship-gun drill prac . ice, 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, ,vhich render the marine corps so useful when sent to jilt) a ship on her being commissioned. The great gun .xeicise was carried on with eight 32-pounder guns, and vas performed with a celerity of movement and preci non 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, mid appeared pleased with the clean and neat manner in which the children were attired, and the satisfactory pro ;less of their instruction, considering their age. From the schools their lordships proceeded to the Hospital or Royal Marine Infirmary, over which they were conducted by 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 ,ept in the best order. The noncommissioned officers' l i brary was next visited, and, then proceeding to the Mint of the barracks, they inspeeted the barrack .rooros ror the men, and at the rear the lavatories and baths for then. accommodation. Their lordships left the barracks at a quarter.past one p.m., after expressing their great satisfaction to Colonel 'Ellis at all they had witnessed. On arriving at the dockyard their lordships entered the official residence of Commodore Shepherd, and shortly after proceeded to the basin at the west end of the yard, to inspeet the Arrow screw steam despatch gun-boat, expected to be ready for sea this afternoon. Their lord : ships went on board and remained upwards of an hour, inspecting the various details of the new description of gun-boat. The Beagle, another of the *despatch gun- boats, has been masted, and her two 68-pounder oval guns of 95 cwt. each have been brought from the Royal Arj sepal and placed alongside, ready to be put on board; The Arrow, in addition to her two 68-pounder-oval guns, has received and mounted two 12-pounder brass howit4 zers, each weighing 10 cwt., and they are placed aeterij of the large guns. Their lordships having concluded their inspection left the dockyard by the factory-gate at a quarter past three o'clock p.m., on their return to the Admiralty. take the place of the Ist Lancashire in Portemcnith garrison. The Royal South Lincoln Militia arrived in garrison, at Chichester, on the 14th inst., from Grantham. A detachment from the depots quartered in Ninchester proceeded, on the 15th instant, to do duty in the Tower of London. Yesterday a detachment of the Royal Artillery was marched to the Royal Mint, Tower•hill, to guard that establishment. The head-quarters of the 51st Regiment left Chatham yesterday, and proceeded, rid Gravesend and Blackwall, to the North-Western Railway, where a special train was in readiness to carry the men on to Manchester. The 94th having received their arms from the Tower, have been inspected by Major-General Beresford, who was highly pleased with the regiment. The departure of Col. Walker, of the Fuelleer Guards, for the East, by - the Harbinger, has been countermanded, in consequence of there not being accommodation on board that steamer for more than the horses of Sir G. Cathcart and his staff. Royal Engineers — Lieutenant-Colonel Broughton has been appointed commanding Royal Engineer in Ports mouth garnson, vice Sir Frederick Smith, C. 8., pro moted to the rank of major -general in the army. THE ESSEX RIFLE MILITIA AND THEIR LATE COLONEL, A circular memorandum has been' Walled from 'the Horse Guards, which states :-- " The Essex -Regiment of Rifle' Militia having re ceived orders to move from the Tower of London to Ganterbuly, the .

THE WEST' INDIES. The large ships on the %Vest 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 lound at Grey town 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 Expre.s, been there, the Yankee yvould 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 Baltic and Black Sea fleets. The good old rule has not been observed, that wherever a foreign man-of-war may present himself he will fihd 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; th,e,,Sinope massacre. It is Russian all hver. The Calypso was at Antigua on the 24th ult. Buzzard, 6, paddle, Commander W. H. Dobbie, was at St. John's Newfoundland, 25th July, all well. The Arab, 14, Commander Ogle, arrived at Barbadoes from the coast of Africa station, on the 18th nit. THE BRAZILS. —The Vixen, 6, paddle, Commander F. L. Barnard, was at Monte Video, July 3, all well, about to leave for Buenos Ayres, and expecting again to go up the Panama with Mr. Gore. The Madagascar, store ship ; Sharpshooter, 87 - iron screw, Lieutenant Corn• mander Parish ; and Bonetta, 3, Lieutenant-Commander Charles Wake, were at Rio. The Trident, 6, iron paddle, sailed on a cruise on the .11th July. The Ex press, 6, Commander Boys, was at Bahia. SECOND COURT-MARTIAL ON LIEUT. PERRY, AT WINDSOR. FOURTEENTH DAY—WEDNESDAY. The Court appointed to try Lieutenant James Ed ward Perry,. of the 46th Regiment,• assembled at the Infantry Barracks, Windsor, this morning, Colonel James Edward Kelly, of the provisional battalion, presiding. Major Stuart, late of the 46th Regiment, was then called and sworn. Prisoner-- Were you until recently a major in the "46th RegiMent ? Witness—l was. Prisoner—Do you know Mr. M'Gregor, the army agent Witiess—l do. PiiSnner—Will you look at the letter produced, and say whether you believe the same to be in his hand. writing ? Witness.L . -I think it is all his handwritioit. The sii ! nature I am sure is his ; the first part of it seems written differently. • Prisoner—The letter is now put in. The Deputy Judge Advocate the.' read the following letter : Dublin, previous to the regiment coming to this country. • Colonel 'Fordyce then read the charge, and it was s matter of surprise that it had not been done earlier. 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-4t is not. By the Court—Are yon 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. Oar labours will be endless ; but Ido en treat that every answer may be recorded. President—The question and answer are both ordered to be recorded. By the Court—Were you present with the regiment in the Linen.liall Barracks, Dublin, when the occurrencts4 alluded to in the charge took place! Witness—l . was present with the regiment all the time while it was in the Linen-hall Barracks, with the exception of a few days' leave—perhaps a week. I lived, however, in lodgings. By the Court—To your knowledge, was Lieutenant Perry more subjected to tnose practical jokes than the other younz officers. ~ Witness—l have no knowledge that he was. By the Court—Was Captain Nicholas in the habit of annoying young officers on joining the regiment, or of aiding or abetting others in so doing ? Witness—l have no knowledge whether he was or was not. By the Court—You stated that you bad reason to ,believe that Major Maxwell bad ordered young officers to be brought down out of their beds ; can you state any particular case of your own knowledge ? Witness—l have been told that he had done so ; but I have no knowledge of any particular case. By the Court—What reason can you then have for believing it. Witness--Because I have already said that I was told so, and I believe what I was told, I can name, if the Court wish it, the officer who told me. Prisoner—l should like to have the name. Witness—l will mention the name now, if the Court wishes it. The Court was then cleared. After a lapse of a quarter of an hour, the Court was re-opened, and The President stated that the Court had decided that the name of the officer should be mentioned. Witness—lt was Captain Hardy, of the 46th Regi ment. • • • • By the Court—lf Lieut. Perry had threatened to ap peal to the general, would- not the circumstance hate come to your knowledge ? " Witness—Such a circumstance might have happened very readily without coming to my knowledge. By the Court—Could Lieutenant Perry's threatening • to make a, report to the general of the district have been the subject 3f common conversation; and could his so ciety have .been shunned in consequence, wtihout your being aware of either circumstance ? • Witness—lt might. Prisoner—May I ask the priVilege of putting one question through to Court, the prevent the necessity of ;laving of having the witness recalled ? The President—Yes. Prisoner (through the Courts—May I request you to explain why you lived out of barracks, as you, being a Inajor, could always secure apartments in the barracks Witness—There were only two field offi3ers' quarters in the barracks. The witness then retired. Private Edward Lawler, of the B company, the servant of Lieutenant Perry, was then called, and the charge was read over to him by Colonel, Fordyce. He was then sworn. Prisoner—Do you recollect me being on detachment it Cork when under the command of Captain Colin .'2ampbell, and do you recollect my writing a letter to you irom 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 got 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- Jate mess between Lieutenant Shervinton and other olicers in the barrack ; and was I a member of that mess? Witness—To the best of my belief, Captain Campbell, Lieutenant M`A.lester, and Lieutenant Shervinton dined ogether in Mr. Shervinton's room. I never knew Mr. Perry to dine with them. Prisoner—Will you inform the court what state my roam used to be in in the morning ? Was or was not my hirt 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 hie 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 diarrheca. 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 required ; but, The Prisoner expressed himself quite satisfied, and .vould nut trouble the Court with the reading of the cer ificate. The President—lt is nearly two o'clock ;we will ad journ for ten minutes. Prisoner—Before you adjourn, will you allow me to , ay a few words ? What I have to state may probably fiuse an adjournment till to-morrow. He then addressed the Court as follows :—Mr. Lennard, who has been .;ummoned as a witness on my behalf, is, I understand moo ill to attend. Ensign Stretton is now in the Turkish , ervice, and cannot, I fear, be obtained. Captain O'Toole, Captain Hardy, Lieutenant Shervington, and Lieutenant Knapp, who are all witnesses material to my lefence, were sent to Turkey ; and although I could ;reatly strengthen my defence by their evidence, I will, under the circumstances, proceed with my defence rather than continue by protracted delays the pTesent harassing and painful proceedings. As lam conscious of my pe l t:- . feet innocence, may I request that the court may .lir readi journed until one o'clock to-morrow, when I my defence. I shall require to put in 'trial, and .. the certified wl ex f tracts of the proceedings on Lieutenant Ureer the state the companies. The Court adjourned for ten minutes, and sat with closed doors until four o'clock. ' The Court will re assemble to-morrow (this morning) at eleven o'clock REFORMATION OF YOUTHFUL OFFENDERS. — The new act for the better care and reformation of youthful offenders in Great Britain has just been issued.

Telegraphic sth, report that ;ir Charles Na- pier is•not likely to stop till the islands, once the pro perty of Sweden and still occupied by Swedes, hive 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 E ng li s h 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" English 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 Dobrudsuha, 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 beino , 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 iu 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 hail starving. lam 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 fir 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 be en t a k en , no t on l y t h at t h e 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 G Blip ili, irreguar at S wantinn• at Varna, and utterly absent from the day the troops left for Ala ('yn and Devna. Tne commissari it 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 array 2n its march acres 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 wit' distributing those stores. The effects of such Commissariat arrangements are most melancholy on the health and efficiency of the army. Whatever provision may have been made for the food of the troops, I believe there is not a single inan—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 confzumption, reduces itself to about one-third of a pound of dry, t ,ugh beef, which can be swallowed by dint of hard Clewing, 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 subsi , ted 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 been reduced if the bread too had been bad. Ne 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, rot 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. Witu 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 theDavna 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 Re Icliffe and Lord R tglan were informed of the danger to which the troops were exposed in the eucampments wh ch had been selected for them. But it would appear that it is a rule in this war that no opidon 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 arity believed in the u7illealthiness of the Devna district only when the plagoe had 1r .ken out and the men under their charge were dying ar mud them. The dis ass which has broken out among our troops is cholera in its mo t malignant f .rm. It has sits ked all the regiments, but chiefly those who were exposed to the cm rents of air that swept along and carried up the mists nom 'he Devna Lake. In the Rifle Brigade a fax cases only occurred, and the 77th Regiment was spared for several days ; nor did the germs of disease declare themselves um alter their dislocation from 13,- , vna to Monastir. The 33d suffered severely. Th e BSth (Connaught Rangers), too, had serious losses, b it the i-eitne,lts which s% ere most exposed to the poisohou breath of the lile are the 231 Welsh Fusiliers, arid the 7th. They were the first to havo the disease, and lost the greatest number of me•t.

A great many of the patients were in a state of hopeless collapse from first to last ; some were quite Niue, and the only description which applies to some of them is th a t they were ' living corpses.' From the 22nd to th e 26th i nstant the 7th Fus ili ers l ost 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 be worse than . keeping our troops in a sickly ne i g hbourhood, 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 fur the preservation of our nationalhonour. The transports are known to be ready—the munitions of war are ample—the cause good. W;illachia is safe, and the Turks are in Bucharest. What, then, does Lord Raglan wait fur?

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 Pet the Castor, 32, Captain Edward Leveson Gower, in which frigate he Appears to have been severely wounded white fitting at Plymouth. He continued to serve on the home station in the Barfleur, 98, flag-ship of Rear-Admirals J. H. Whitshed and Cuthbert Collingwood ; Donegal, 74, Captain Sir Richard John Strachan ; Neptune, 93, Cap tains Francis William Austen, William O'Brien Drury, and Sir Thomas Williams ; and Renown, 74, Captain Sir R. J.

The first inquiry was into the death of Oliver Pendle bary, 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 bad been dismissed as a ticket-of-leave man from Portland Prison, where he lied been confined under a sentence of 17 years' transp.rta tine. The unfortunate man was seized very suddenly with the attack while in school, and, upon being con 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 1 and 2—where most of the patients came from, had bet-n entirely vacated and closed up. Everything was, in fact, being done by the authorit:es to prevent the spread of theavful 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 to 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 rum 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 uneeer;ably .orious as one dour chief Lonion strong holds of fever and cholera ' and admirable have been too outposts by which it h a s been defended from the access of cleanliness and health. To the west the slaughter houses and r tting 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 Liuceln'e-innefield s —a spece 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 coults out of courts. Dusky passages, between overhanging and blackened walls, wind out of and into one another at every third step, as though their main object was to " dodge" th e extereal air and shut it out by the intricacy of their convolutions. si g h a b ove the pavement soar the foul and crumbling walls, blink ing, like dens .ged human fac e s, wi th t h e i r shattered windows, half blind with dirt, and flutteriteg with coloured rags and paper ; arid, leaning towards one another overhead, as if in a sort of drunken foedeess, or as though the universal st geation and indolence of the place had deprived the very houses of enerey 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 ishabi tants of the Lower Marsh, Lambeth, Granby-street, and the surrounding districts, in consequence of the following appalling discovery, whi •h, 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 S phis 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 :mete 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 acre 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 doer in, it was at length opened, when the ~ fficer was nearly prostrated by a fearful stench that arose from the room. The woman .tepeared to bd brea;hing nearly her last. Dr. Dud was promptly scut for, but he requested the officer to open the window and sprinkle chloride of lime over the floor, as the stench was 1 retidicial to any one entering the place. Those preliminaries Laving been done, the room eas 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 ec, , urge has visited Essex with all its untamed virulence. On Friday week it first male 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 haring 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 34 cases in the City Parish, 11 in the Barony, and 2in G. ;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.—Seittise Guardian. PAISLICY.—In Charleston, a large suburb situated on tieing 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 chili died on Satur day ; a son, of about 12 years of ate, died yesterday ; and a daughter 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 M ail. THE CASE OF MR. EDMUND O'FLAHER77. A commencement of criminal p rocee di ngs h as been made in this case at Dublin. Mr. H. Lazarus and Mr. Salomans, of that city, a pp eare d on S aturday, with their solicitors, before the sitting magistrate at Capel-street Police-office, and producing bills w lich 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 fur summonses to compel the attendance of Mr Godley and Mr. Gre g ory, and accordingly, in com pliance with the summons which he r. ceived, 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 Lon:Ion, on pressing official busi ness ; but that he was prepared to give any viva v ice 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 hr 70/., drawn on him by his late colleague, Mr. E.irnund O'Flaherty, were for geries, and that he neither directly nor indirectly antho- T ri i s l e is d n A f f o r r . m o a ' t F i o la n h w e r a t : t r o epa a r t e ta d c a h nd his r e n c a e m i v e e d t theseo with a b i lls.view to ulterior proceeding.
