CUSTOMS' DUTIES. The followinc, , minutes on the payment of Cus toms' duties by bankers' checks have been issued by the Treasury "TREASURY MINUTE, DATED AuG. 4. " My Lords have before them representations of cer tain traders of the city of London, again urgin g upon their attention th e g rea t a d van t a g e w hich would be de rived by the mercantile community if any system could be adopted by which the checks of merchants_ upon their bankers could, with sa f e ty to the revenue, be received at the Custom-house in payment of duties; and thus that the great danger at present incurred by individuals in procuring large sums in notes and coin from their bankers, amounting in the whole, in London alone, to about 13,000,0001. a-year, and transmitting them to the Customs might be obviated. " This question has, from its great importance, occu pied the attention of this board at various times since since 1353 ; but hitherto no method has been suggested by which all the objects in view could be accomplished. In the first place, it is obvious that any plan that could with propriety be adopted should be such as would secure the following objects : " 1. It must give perfect security to the revenue, or at least a security as great as that plan which is now followsd—e. g. the receipt of bank notes and gold. "2. It must be of a character which will not impose greater labour or delay upon the operations of the mer chant ; and, if possiblo, lessen Loth. " 3. It must be such as does not depend upon the re 02ectability of particular firms who may adopt it, but must be applicable alike to every one who may wish to avail h . m;elf of its provisions. "To obtain these objects many plans have been sug gested from time to time. " It has been proposed that Eank of England notes, of a special form, and to be used only for the payment of Customs duties, should be made by the Bank, and furnished to merchants by their banker* so that if lost, they could be applied to no other purpose. The Bank of England were quite prepared to adopt this plan, but the other bankers objected to it, inasmuch as it would imposed upon them the necessity of retaining in their possession a larger amount of notes in reserve than would otherwise be needful, as it would always be uncertain to what extent such Customs' notes would be required, and which they would have to keep in addi tion to their ordinary amount of notes. " Again, it has been proposed that checks upon pri vate bankers should be received, provided such checks were marked beforehand by suct ,, bankors in such a way as to secure their payment: To Ais plan there were two obvious objections : first, it would throw upon the Customs the invidious duty of determining what banker's security would be received ; and, secondly, it would expose the revenue to risk from forgery, not only of the check itself, but also of the banker's undertaking to pay. " Again, it has been proposed that merchants should furnish a current security, either by personal bonds or by the deposit of public stock, to an amount equal to that for which they would require their checks to be taken. But while this plan might be 'sufficient to guaran tee the checks given by such merchants, it would still expose the revenue to the risk of forged checks being presented and taken for duties which the merchants might fairly refuse to honour. "The only plan which has hitherto been devised by which it has been found practicable to meet the wishes of merchants in any degree was that adopted by the minute of this board of the 13th of March, 1836. By that minute a plan was sanctioned by which certificates should be given by the Bank of England for money paid in on ac count of duties, and which certificates were to be transmitted to the Customs by official messengers periodically throughout the day. But this plan, though continued to this time, has proved very insufficient for the purpose. In the first place, it has not removed the nece,sity of traders receiving the money in notes and coin from their bankers in order to send them to the Bank of England, involving in some ca,es as much risk as sending them to the Custom-house at once ; and, in the second place, it involves considerably more time and labour ; so that it has not been very generally re sorted to by merchants. "My lords, however, are of opinion that a plan may be adopted by which this important object may be at tained, and which will combine advantages to all parties concerned, and be unattended with any of the objections adverted to. "1. My lords propose to abolish the present system of payments into the Bank of England, and the trans mission of certificates during the day from the Bank to the Custrm•house. "2. My lords propose that checks shall be received in payment of duties upon any of the banking firms whose names are affixed to this minute, who have been elected only with ,reference to their proximity to the Bank of England and the Custom-house, and who by letter shall signify to the Commissioners of Customs their willingness to comply with the regulations laid down ; that all such checks shall, before being received, be crossed with the Words 'Bank of England for Cus toms' duties ;' and, after being received, be again legi bly stamped on the face of the check, Received for Customs' duties the day of 1854: That the checks so received shall be sent out by a clerk every hour from 9 o'clock in the morning till 3 o'clock in the afternoon, both inclusive, who shall carry the checks to the different banks where they are payabie, and at each shall receive as indorsement from such banker, which shall be an authority to the Bank of England to pass the amount to the debit of such bankers with the Bank of England. The clerk shall then pro ceed to the Bank of England, when lie shall deliver all the checks in accordance with a list which shall have been furnished to him before he left the Custom-house, and which list shall be signed by the proper officers of the Bank, as a certificate thet all the checks are duly received by the Bank as cash to the credit of the Re ceiver General. In the event of any check not being so indorsed by the bank upon which it is drawn, or not being received by the Bank of England as cash, it shall be returned to the Custom-house, first being erased from the list in the bank certificate, and deducted from the amount for which the certificate is given. "In the meantime, while the collection is going on, which it is supposed may occupy about an hour, the ne cessary entries of goods will be proceeding, but the final authority to deliver shall not issue until the return of the clerk with the certificate that the checks received for the duties have been passed to the credit of the Receiver- General at the Bank of England, which in most cases will he quite as eoon as the necessary entries for the clearance of the goods are completed. " By this plait, my lords are of opinion that the in terest and convenience of all parties will be insured. The trader will be relieved from all risk in the trans mission of notes and coin ; the Customs' department will be relieved of much labour in receiving, examining, and marking large amounts in bank notes, in weighing gold, and of any risk which may attach to the receipt. of forged motes or bad coin ; private bankers will be re lieved of the necessity of keeping so large an amount of Dotes on hand to meet the demands of their customers ; and, finally, as those payments in London alone amount to an average of about 13,000,000/. a-year, a consider able economy in the use of bank notes and coin will be effected by this plan, by which the p a y men t o f C ustoms ' duties will be reduced to a system of transfer of credits in the books of private bankers and those of the Bank of England. " Lastly, my lords are of opinion that the plan should be attended rather with economy in the establishment of the Customs than with any increased expenditure. In the first place, the existing plan of hourly transmis sions from the Bank to the Custom-house will be abolished ; and, in the second place, my lords would suggest to the consideration of the commissioners, whether the use of checks in the payment of duties, in substitu tion of the present cumbrous system of receiving only notes and coin, will not enable them to dispense with some of the clerks now engaged in the receipt of duties, and employ them in the collection of the checks as herein described. " Transmit a copy of this minute to the Commission ers of Customs for any observations they may wish to make thereon. " Aug. 4. Jamas WILSON. "LIST OF BANKERS REFERRED TO IN THE FOREGOING 3IINETE.

" Having received a report from the —orernissioners of Customs upon the minute of this board of the 4th of ) August, in relation to the payment of duties a t the ) Custom-louse by „h ec k ! , upon bankers, in plate of cash as at present, my lords resume the consideration of the euhjecte xi s 01 I. .As it is the opinion of the Commissioners of Cuetems that, in adoptitee the plan proposed th e propos minute of the 4th of Augeete the existing practice by which mereants are a/. ablest to mai, a payments, ttll a , Yon:,t, of kjwiez, into the JUDI.; of England, , the certificates of which receipts are sent in loeked .boxee erery hour from the Bank to the Custom-house, ehould not Ito discontinued, roy Int& Ate pleased to continue that arrengereent until the let of Jaen, ry :next, in ereler tint Au inconvenience way be eepea ieeeed in the change. But i's it is obeieus that no peeeible convenience can arise to any one by the con tinuance of such a practice after the one proposed is fully established, my lords Seale) object to be gained by con tinuing it longer, and especially as my bids regard it as important in the transaction of business to establish one uniform system which shall combine the greatest secu rity, simplicity, and economy of time to all connected therewith. "2. My lords are pleased to direct that in other re spects th e system of receiving checks in payment of Customs' duties, under the t,' regula ions generally as laid down in the minute of the 4th of August, shall take effect from and after the 10th of October next. But as it may prove convenient to all the parties concerned that 17- 1 ‘ E SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 28. 1854. the changes in the present practice which will then take place should he clearly stated, my lords proceed to indi cate the same. " 1. AS REGARDS THE MERCHANT PAYING DIITIF S. " In place of requiring; to send notes and coin for the amount of the duties to be paid, the merchant may send his own ordinary check upon any one of the bankers whose names are included in the list attached to the minute of the 4th of August, and who shall, before the 11th of October, express his willingness to comply with the regulations therein. " It will, however, be required that all checks shall be crossed by the merchants with the words Bank of England for Customs' duties,' legibly written upon them, in order that it may be impossible that such checks can be applied to any other purpose ; and it is suggested that those words should be impressed in large letters w i t h a s t a mp, for the purpose of more clearly exhibiting the specific use for which they are to be dealt with throughout. " - Merchants will bear in mind that all checks which are paid up to each even hour during the day (from 9 till 3 inclusive) will be sent out at that hour, and that checks received at any time after the even hour will not be sent out until the next hour. But as soon as the checks are received at the Custom-house, all the usual entries will immediately proceed in the same way as if the duties h a d b een p a id i n cash, with a view to the clearance of the goods. "For the purpose, however, of further facilitating the progress of the clearance of the goods for delivery, and in order that no time shall be lost, the merchant will be required, in addition to the ordinary document called an entry or warrant,' upon. which the clearance now pro ceeds, to deliver therewith another document containing a short abstract of the contents of the entry or war rant,' and which will be termed a discharge bill.' As an example, the following is a usual 'entry or warrant' now in use : WEST INDIA DOCKS. ' Wellington.' Johnson ® Matanzas. British ship. Home Consumption. RUCK= AND CO. JJ T 100 boxes. Five hundred boxes. P Y C 150 boxes. LR 0 150 boxes. One thousand eight hundred and J V Y 100 boxes, fifty-three hundredweight, two quarters, and fourteen pounds Half-past Brown Clayed Sugar, not being 12, equal in quality to White 13 Sept. Clayed, the growth and pro -1854. duce of and imported from Matanzas. Warehoused by C. Smith, 10th August, 1854. (104) £1,112 3s. 6d. Duty not paid. 11th October, 1854." " With this ordinary document must be delivered a discharge of which the following would be the proper form : " WEST INDIA DOCKS. Discharge Bill, Wellington.' Johnson et, Matanzas. RUCIUR AND CO. Cwt. qrs. lb. ZOO Boxes 1,853 2 14 Brown Clayed Sugar. £1,112 3s. 6d. Two o'clock, 13 Sept., (104) 1854. Duty paid. " 11th October, 1854." —the latter document being a short abstract of the for mer. " In the event of all the entries in the Long-room beirg completed before the collecting clerk had returned, the first document (the entry or warrant') will be de spatched to the delivery department, in order that the necessary preparations may be made for the actual deli very of the gcods. This document will go from the Customs marked Duty not paid.' As soon as the clerk shall have returned, the discharge bill' will then be forwarded to the delivery department, with the words Duty paid' imprinted thereon. In the event of the collecting clerk returning before the entries are all com plete in the Long-room, which win usually be the case, both documents will he sent together to the delivery de partment, and in any cae as soon as the discharge bill' has been received the goods will be delivered. " The only additional duty, therefore, which will de volve upon the merchant will be to snake out and present with the entry or warrant' the bill of discharge,' in lieu of all the trouble, time, and risk which at present attend the obtaining of notes and coin, and sending the same to the Custom-house. " 2. AS REGARDS THE FORM OF BUSINESS AT THE CUSTOM- HOUSE. "At the same stage of the entry of goods at which money for the amount of duties is now received, checks for the same, drawn upon any of the banking-houses in the list furnished which shall have complied with the terms of this minute, will be taken. At each hour, from 9 to 3 o'clock inclusive, a list will be made of all the checks received in the preceding hour, classified according to the banks upon which they are drawn, in such a form as to show the total amount upon each bank, and the aggregate amount of the whole, each check having pre viously been stamped with legible words, Received for Customs' duties, the day of , 1854.' " The collecting clerk will then be immediately de spatched to the various banks upon which the checks are drawn. At each bank the checks will either be endorsed in such a form as shall entitle the Bank of England to pass them as cash to the credit of the Cus toms, or a transfer order will be received from the private banks for the full amount of the checks upon it, which will authorise the Bank of England to transfer the amount from the amount of such bank to the Customs' account. The clerk will then pro ceed to the Bank of England, and obtain an acknow ledgment attached to the list originally furnished of the amount received by the tank to the credit of the Cus toms, with which be will return immediately to the Custom-house. In the event of any check not being paid, the same will he erased from the list at the Bank, the amount for which the receipt is given reduced ac• cordingly, and such unpaid checks will be returned to the Custom-house. " In the meantime, the entries at the Custom-house will have been proceeding as usual ; and, if they are are completed in the Long -room before the return of the cellecting clerk - , the entry or warrant' will be des patched to the delivery department, but marked ' Duty itot paid,' in order that the documents for the delivery of the goods may be prepared ; and as soon as the clerk shall have retumed with the certificate that the checks are paid, the discharge bill,' with the words Duty paid,' in red ink, legibly stamped thereon, shall issue. In the event of the clerk being back in time, both those documents so marked shall be sent together to the deli very department. In all other respects the business will proceed as at present. ' Al REGARDS THE BANKING-HOUSES UPON WHICH CHECKS WILL BS RECEIVED. " It will only be necessary that they shall appoint an officer to whom the Customs' collecting clerk can apply at once, without being subject to delay (regularity and despatch being essential to the plan), who will be au thorised either to mark the cheeks produced in f-uch a way as will entitle the Bank of England to treat them as money, or who shall furnish to the Customs' clerks a transfer order upon the Bank of England for the full amount of the checks presented. Each bank may eliclt either of the plans mentioned, but in each case to be uni formly acted upon. " 4. AS REGARDS THE BANK' OF ENGLAND. " The only duty which will devolve upon the Bank will be to receive the payments from the collecting clerks, and sign the lists, as certifying the receipt on behalf of the Customs of the amounts named therein. " 3. By this machinery their Lordships hope that they will thus materially abridge the labour and risk imposed upon merchants in the present mode of paying duties ; effect a considerable economy in the circulation, as well as in the stocks, of bank notes necessarily held by bankers and render unnecessary the present practice of sending a Bank clerk to the Custom-house each day for the pur pose of cancelling and destroying all the notes received on such day ; and thus bring the operation of Customs' payments into strict harmony with the modern practice of trade, by which much economy of time and money is eff cted. At the same time they entertain a hope that these advantages will be obtained at little or no addi tional cost to the department of Customs. " 4. Their lordships, however, do not wish it to he understood that the introduction of this plan—which will, no doubt, on account of the great convenience which it will afford, be generally adopted—will prevent persons who may still prefer to do so, from paying their duties in cash as at present. " Transmit a copy of this minute to the Commissioners of Customs, and request that steps may be taken forth with, with a view to the introduction of this system on the 11th of October next. " Transmit a copy of this minute to the Bank of Eng land for their information, and to each of the banking firms named in the list attached to the minute of the 4th of August, and request that they will intimate, by; letter, to the Commissioners of Customs, their readiness to comply with the provisions contained in this minute so far as they are concerned, in order that theirnames may he placed upon the list of bankers upon. whom clo , cks will he received for the payment of duties. " JAMES WM ION." • EXTRAORDINARY DEATH.—Mr. Davis held an Inquest en the 23d instant, at Knockmoles, near Swords, Icounty Dublin, on the body of a man named Patrick Sherlock, who, unhappily, came by his death under the following circumstances appeared that som e d a y s b e f‘ re th e a deceased and a man named Patrick Falkner were Plough ing together, when the latter offered playfully to make it wager of a halfpenny that he would fasten Sherlock's b-hind his hack without a string, and put iiin in and t that he could not get out.

Rocs LIFE COMPANY.—A meeting of the Rook Life Company yesterday attracted attention, in consequence of its being for a septennial division of profits and the large amount of property thus to be dealt w ith' The assets of the company were stated at 2,207,734 and the liabilitiesat 1, 575, 666/., leavinga surplus sof 7 .32i071/ out of whieh a bonus of 609,7611. was declared:---one third in additional stock to the shareholders, and two. thirds in an increase of the policies of the assured. POLICE IIVTE'LLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—A. Hungarian refugee applied to the sitting magistrate, Mr. Henry, for his advice under the following circumstance. He stated that the London .To7svii,i/ had been publishing supplements, the profits upon which had been devoted to the fund which was being collected fir the wives and children of the soldier now on service in the East. Anxious to assist even in a very bumble way, in the good purpose, he left at the office of the publication in question the manuscript of part of an unpublished work fur publication in the sup plement, as it had a bearing upon the topic in connec tion with which the supplements were issued ; but it had not been published, and be had applied six or seven times personally, and twice by letter, for it to be re turned, but he could not get it. If it was published he should not care, but it was now wanted for the work of which it formed a portion, and which related to the Turks and people of the eastern countries. . . Mr. Henry said the usual rule was that manuscript contributions were not returned if rejected. The applicant said be left the manuscript in question on the condition that it was to be returned if not used. Mr. Henry said he could not interfere. If the appli cant resorted to law on the subject he must go to a county court, and there try the question if newspapers and periodicals were bound to return manuscript which wan not used, or if not, whether in this particular in stance there was a condition to that effect. James Coppick, cab-driver, No. 3,214, was placed at the bar sharo•ed with having used abusive lan g u age . Mr. Frederick Mortimer Lewin, of the Wyndham Club, stated that he took the defendant's cab at New gate in the morning, and desired him to drive him to Long-acre. He did not know that he was in drink. When he arrived in Long-acre he remonstrated with him for having driven in a most reckless manner, whereupon defendant commenced abusing him iu language of the most disgusting nature—calling him a vagabond and a scoundrel, and among other things he said it would not take him two pins to punch his nose. Deponent Procured two persons to witness this, and by the advice oftone of them he re-entered the cab and desired the de fendant to drive him to this court. The inspector on duty, finding that the defendant was somewhat the worse for liquor, had him locked up for a tim e b e f ore h e was brought before his worship. .Inspector Mitchell said he did not think the defendant had then recovered from the effects of drink. The defendant denied that he had drank anything that day, except what he took with his breakfast. Two gentlemen gave evidence fully corroborating the prosecutor's statement. The defendant denied that he used any abusive lan guage whatever, and assured the magistrate that he was quite sober, and that he had driven in the streets for over twenty years and bad never been complained of in all his career. As to the reckless driving, he said gentle. men must know that it was not such a very easy thing to drive straight with a " shoful," and if he did go in and out a little he could not help it, and the gentle man need not have got quite so " cheeky " about it as he did. Mr. Henry said the offence had been most clearly proved, and he should teach the defendant that such conduct was not to be passed over lightly. Defendant must pay a fine of 31., or be imprisoned for one calendar month. GUILDHALL—Mr. William", a dairyman, was summoned by the inspector of meat for Newgate-market for sending the body of a cow to rilarket for sale which was totally unfit for human food. It arpeared, front the statement of the witnesses for the prosecution, that the cow was delivered at the shop of Mr. Weaver, a salesman of Newgate-market, in the ordinary way in which meat intended for human con sumption was usually forwarded ; but Mr. Weaver's foreman detecting the quality of the meat refused to take it in. The porter, however, said lie should not take it back, and accordingly threw it on the shop floor, and one of Mr. Weaver's men suhsequently hung it up in the back of the shop. Information was then given to the inspector, who, on examining the meat, found is not only unfit for human food, but actually in a putrid state, the cow,being what was termed in the market a " wet'un," having been killed to prevent its dying, from a disease it had long bee n suff er i ng from. Th defendant said the cow appeared to him in good health, and the only thing that induced him to have her killed was that she dropped off in her milk, and got gradually rather thin. He did not see the meat after it was dressed, and it was put into the cart to go to mar ket before he was up in the morning, and he therefore had no opportunity of seeing it before it went away. Sir W. Carden and Alderman Rose severely censured the practice of sending meat in such a state to market at any time, but more particularly during the prevalence of such/a fearful epidemic as that from which all London had been suffering, and to which thousands of persons had fallen victims, but as they had no summary juris diction in the matter, they had no alternative but to commit the defendant to take his trial at the sessions. Committed accordingly. SOUTHWARK.—Mr. A'Beckett was engaged for several. hours in investigating several charges against parties carrying on offensive trades under the arches of the South-Eastern Railway, in the parish of Ber mondsey. Mr. Ballantine, instructed by Messrs. Drew and Gray, solicitors to the Bermondsey Improvement Commis sioners, appeared to prosecute ; and Mr. Solomon was retained for the defendants. The first case was against Messrs. Garner, leather dressers arid japnners, carrying on an offensive business in Nos. 11'3, 117, 118, 119, 120, and 121 arches, under the South-Eastern Railway, adjoining Russell-street, Bermondsey. Mr. Ballantine said that the defendants' business was very obnoxious, and carried on in such a place as to spread disease and terror among the inhabitants. The very spot in which they boiled the compound for japan nit], was directly under the lin e of ra il wa y w h ere t h e tickets b were collected from the passengers, and so offen sive was the smell that complaints were hourly made by parties compelled to travel by that railway. Not only that, but the inhabitants of the surrounding neighbour hood made bitter complaints to the commissioners ; and he was instructed to say that the nuisance was so bad, that many parties were seriously indisposed at the pre sent time in their houses adjacent. For the protection of the lives of the inhabitants he must press upon his worship the necessity of its instant removal. Mr. Garner said that they would do no more boiling under the arches. Mr. Ballantine—But you still carry on the dyeing, which is equally offensive. Will you discontinue that Mr. Garner—We have 195 degrees of heat in that de partment, and I suppose we must keep the windows shut. Mr. Ballantine—Yes, and kill your own men. Your business is injurious to the health of the inhabitants, and it must be discontinued. Mr. Garner— We will construct a shaft to carry away any offensive smell. Dr. Challi?, the medical officer, here said that if shaft was constructed it ought to be thirty or forty feet above the railway. He was sure that could not be done. The vapour arising from the factory was very heavy, and must be, at the present time of serious injury to the inhabitants and railway passengers. Mr. Garner—But there has been no complaint made before. Mr. Ballantine—Typhus fever and cholera existed all around the premises, and the effluvia must he got rid of. If the defendants undertake to remove the nuisance I suggest to the commissioners the necessity of allowing the summons to stand over. We had these matters be fore Mr. Justice Crowder at the Central Criminal Court last week regarding a Lucifer-match factory, and the learned judge laid down that no business could be car ried on that endangered the lives of the inhabitants. Mr. Garner—We will remove the nuisances immedi ately, if that is the law. I Mr. Ballantine—The magistrate at my request will give you a fortnight to do so, and unless that is done you will be indicted at the Central Criminal Court. Adjourned accordingly. James Oates, a bone boiler, carrying on business in Nos. 243, 244, and 245 arches under the South-Eastern Railway, in Bermondsey, was next summoned for car rying on certain trades or manufactures so as to be in jurious to the health of the neighbouring inhabitants. Mr. Ballantine said the defendant's factory is at the corner of Blue Anchor-lane, a very crowded neighbour hood, and if his worship thought fit he would carry the case to the Central Criminal Court for indictment. The law was perfectly clear on the subject, and, as before al luded to, no one could be allowed to carry on a business injurious to health. The defendant's business was so, and he was consequently liable to he indicted unless he removed the nuisance. It would be impossible for the defendant to construct a chimney of a sufficient height, connected by the railway, to carry off the obnoxious smells, as that would interfere with the railway. As it at present existed it was dangerous in the extreme, and parties coming from the pure air in the country when waiting for the ticket collector over those arches, were sickened by the noxious effluvia emitted from defendant's premises below. Although not the immediate cause of death, he was instructed to say that such smells predis posed persons to the prevailing disease, and swelled the lists of mortality in Bermondsey. He must say that the authorities had been extremely active in putting down all nuisances in their district, as no less than 450 persons had been summoned by them for nuisances, and in all cases they were immediately remedied. He, there fore, called upon his worship to assist them in putting down the present offensive nuisance. Mr. Solomon said his client did not wish to carry on any business that was likely to be injurious to the health of the inhabitants. When he took these premises there were no houses near him, but now he was surrounded. If he should be ordered to remove immediately it would ruin him. :11r. IlAllantine said he did not want to injure the de fendant, and he was willing to allow him time to remove hk im-ine.e , s, provided that he refrained from continoing the nu ißan ce. Mr. Solomon replied that his client would do what was ri within a month. Mr. A'Beckett then adjourned the summons for a month. THAMES.—Ceor•ge Bennett, 17, late apprentice on board the Ythan, lying in the St. Katherine s•dock, was charged with cutting with a knife the body of Alfred Audsley, who is now lying in a dangerous state at the hospital at Leghorn. Inspector Bolas, of the river police, who bad charge of the case, put in a document from Mr. Alexander M‘Bean, British consul at Leghorn, directing the cap tain of the Ythan to have the prisoner brought before a magistrate in this country on a charge of endangering the life of Audsley, and another document stating that the wounded man had been paid off at Leghorn, and lodged in the hospital there. Mr. James Joseph Moore, master of the Ythan, said he did laot know what led to the quarrel between the prisoner and Audsley. His attention was called to the fact that the latter had been stabbed in the thigh, and, on going to visit him, he found him bleeding profusely. He at once stopped the flow of blood, and had him immedi ately conveyed to the hospital, where he lay in a dan gerous state when he (witness) left. Mr Yardley—Have you got the knife with which the wound was inflicted ?—Witness : No, sir. It is to be sent over with some documents pertaining to the case by the British consul. Inspector Bolas—The captain told me ' sir, that mor tification had set in before th e vesse l l e ft Leghorn. Captain—l could not speak of my own knowledge as to the fact, but such was the rumour. Inspector Bolas said that a man who gave evidence on Saturday, and who was a material witness, refused to come up unless his attendance was compelled. Captain—l have not paid that man, for had I done so it is impossible to say when or where he could be found. Mr. Yardley—You did perfectly right. I shall issue a summons for his immediate attendance, and commit the prisoner for trial. That witness shall be bound over, and if necessary I shall order him to find sureties for his appearance. The captain's depositions were then taken. He said the prisoner was apprenticed to the owners of the ves sel, and the wounded lad (Audsley) was au ordinary sea- Hu had been left iu the hospital at Leghorn on the 21st of July, suffering from a severe wound in the thick part of the thigh, which was calculated to do him serious bodily harm, Witness had had no conversation with the prisoner on the subject since the occurrence took place. ShUrtly before the magistrate left the bench, Inspector Bolas returned with William Brown, cook of the Ythan, who said—l know the lad Audsley whom we left in the hospital at Leghorn. In the latter end of July, I think about the 25th, he and I, and the prisoner, and others were taking tea together in the forecastle. The pri soner had a pair of ragged canvas trousers on, and Audsley laughed at him. I told the prisoner not to mind it. He had a knife in his hand at the time, cut ting his meat, and I suddenly beard Audsley cry out "I am struck." Seeing that he was bleeding profusely, I called the master, who put bandages on the wound, and Audsley was taken to the hospital. I said to the prisoner, "This is a rash act," but he made no reply. Inspector Bolas said the prisoner was handed to him at Gravesend by a sergeant of local police there. When in his custody he said, "I did stab the boy. I was taking my tea, and he took hold of me by the pri vates. I went to push him away and the knife went into him." The prisoner was committed for trial. THE CHOLERA. ISLINGTON.—The epidemic, which had considerably abated in this parish since the late change of weather, has again broken out, no less than six cases having been admitted yesterday into the cholera wards of the Royal Free Hospital from the above parish. The total present number of deaths in the metropolis generally, as compared to 1849, has not been so great ; in sixteen weeks in 1849, 10,143 persons died ; whilst up to the present, in 1854, in ten weeks, 7,669 have died. As we had expected, the Registrar-General's figures show a decline in the same week —nay, on the identical day ! fully 25 per cent. of decrease ; whilst be fore October (next week) the returns sent in will in all probability show a further decline to one-half ; and yet in the worst parts of London, in ten out of the 36 dis tricts into which the metropolis is divided, such as Ber mondsey, Camberwell, the London Ho , pital and Tower districts, Cliel,ea,, Kensington, the admissions to hospi tals are rather on the increase this week than otherwise. In more than half the 36 districts, however, it is believed to-day (Sept. 26) cholera has all but disappeared ; house to house visitation is now found in London and Paris the one prophylactic remedy worth all the rest. This has been opposed in Bermondsey and St. Olave's, the accom modation afforded patients in St. Thomas's and Guy's rather destroying the private energies of the local boards. In St. George's parish there has been also an increase of deaths from 84 to 100; here the medical arrangements have been also very deficient ; near the Westminster Hospital, in one house, there were 16 cases of cholera, one after another ! In St. James's, Westminster, and Golden-square, there has been a rapid diminution of deaths, from 287 to 67 ; this outburst originally no one could have calculated on, due to sporadic causes ; in every other particular the cholera of 1854 has been the same as the previous outbreak of 1849. The cases brought into hospitals are obviously an uncertain test of the diffusion of the choleraic poison out of doors, and the figures of the Registrar-General of this week are rather the test of the cases under hospital treatment 10 days ago ; and so of those of the previous week, when the first diminution occurred, and, as we stated, Guy's wards were closed, now a fortnight paused by.—Medical Circular. OvroßD.- - MONDAY'S RETURN.—New cases ; Diar rhoea, 169 ; choleraic diarrhoea, 5 ; cholera, 1. Old cases ; diarrhoea, 156 ; choleraic diarrhoea, 12 ; cholera, 17 ; deaths, cholera, 2. WARRINGTON.—During the past week considerable apprehension has been felt respecting the outbreak of cholera in an epidemic form in the town. A report of several cases having occurred in the union work-house spread rapidly, and the number was, as usual, much exaggerated. But as yet there has been no reason for alarm. The total number of deaths in the house has been but eight, and these occurred in the early part of the week. In the town itself, but two cases are regi stered. One as cholera-diarrhwa, the other as cholera. These, we believe, were in one house, in Turner's.fold. From the analogy which this attack has presented to that of 1849, it wulld seem no unwarrantable conclusion that the worst period is past. In Warrington in the last outbreak the disease was at its greatest intensity in the week ending Sept. 14, and from that time rapidly declined ; and although isolated cases occurred up to October 14, it seemed to have lost its virulence after the autumnal equinox.— Warrington, Guardian. EDINBURGIL—We regret to say that there was a great increase of cases on Saturday, ten having been received into the hospital on that day ; there were also five deaths. The want of authentic and adequate returns, showing the progress of the epidemic here, has, we understand, again engaged the attention of the publi c authorities and medical boards. On Friday the College of Physicians had a conference with the Board of Super vision on the subject, when measures were proposed with the view of collecting complete returns ; but these, not having yet received the sanction of the General Board of Health, have not yet been made public. The only case in the county we have heard of since our last wag one which proved fatal last week at West Calder.— Nortli British Mail. LIVERPOOL.—We regret that we cannot announce the decline of the fatal epidemic. according to previous accounts the disease raged most at the north end of the town. Whilst it continues to increase in that district it has broken out in Toxteth-park, where within the last few days the cases have been very numerous, and yes terday a number of patients were removed to the hos pital of the West Derby Union. On Friday last there were admitted into the hospital at the Liverpool work house 10 patients, on Saturday 14, on Sunday 5, and and yesterday six. During the same perio i there have been 14 deaths in the hospital. A number of the patients were emigrants, and the remainder mostly from the over crowded and filthy districts of the town. There now re main 42 patients under treatment, and 15 have been dis charged convalescent since our last. Fur the week ending Saturday last there were 72 deaths from cholera in Scot land ward, the district in which the disease has this time prevailed with the greatest virulence. The week pre vious the deaths were G. In addition to the deaths from cholera in Scotland ward there have been 20 from diarrhoea. The deaths in the ward last week were one in every fourteen hundred of the inhabitants. In the other wards of the town the deaths average one in ten thousand. In Vauxhall ward the deaths from cholera far the last week also numbered 72, and from diarrhoea 18, 43 of the deaths being in one street—Naylor-street. In St. Peter's and Exchange wards there were 18 deaths from cholera and 4 from diarrhoea. In Taxteth-park 25 deaths from cholera and 9 from diarrhoea are reported up to Saturday last. Yesterday there were 5 more deaths entered. In Castle-street and St. Peter's wards there have been 9 deaths from cholera, and in Pitt-street and Great George wards 11. St. Anne's and Lime street wards have had 18 deaths from cholera, West Derby ward 4, and Everton and liirkdale 9. For the week ending Saturday, 36 persons died in the workhouse hospital from cholera ; whilst out of the hospital, in Rodney and Abercromby wards, there was only one death from the prevailing disease. For the week ending Saturday last the deaths from cholera were 275, or 102 more than in the previous week. The deaths front diarrhoea for the week were 60.--Liverpool Mercury. SHEEP WITHOUT A SHEPHERD.—A curious incident took place at High Halden on Sunday week. The Rev. R. Shute, rector of Halden, and a minor canon of St. Paul's, London, having been absent from his clerical duties four Sabbaths out of the last five, during which time the church going people have had to return to their homes without their usual spiritual admonitions, the congregation assembled on the 17th inst. proceeded to make the best arrangement in their power for public worship. The parish churchwarden and the church warden of the absent rector with common consent gave Out the old hundredth psalm, after which the parish churchwarden read a portion of Scripture, selected from Jeremiah, chap. 23; an anthem followed, sung by an ex cellent sacred choir. The assembly being not quite satis fied with so small a portion of sacred writ, the church warden read another p Ttion of scripture selected from St. John, chap. 3, succeeded by another anthem from the choir ; and in conclusion 16 verses were read from the 10th chapter of St. John. The churcliWardens deemed it expedient to offer praise and thanksgiVing for all past mercies, and likewise an appeal against cholera, which is very prevalent in the village and surrounding neighbourhood. The churchwardens and parishioners feel that their proceedings have been consistent with common sense and humanity, and that they had done their best, there being no minister to visit the sick or ad minister the sacrament to the dying ;, while interments have actually taken place without a minister to perform the burial rites over the departed.—South Eastern 9azette. THE LICENSING SYSTEM.—At the annual Brewster sessions, held by the magistrates in Newcastle-on-Tyne last week, 31 applications were made for new licenses in various parts of the town, but only three were granted. It appears that there are in this borough only 40 places of public worship, open for a few hours per week, with 50 ministers of religion, while there are 500 public houses open nearly night and day, and every day of the week. There is no doubt that it there were fewer public houses in this and other places, and their supervision more strict, crime, Sabbath-breaking, blasphemy, and • many of those revolting cases continually-coming under the cognisance of the bench, would materially diminish. 61' u (1 11V YEL 1,1 c; LA E.
