The following is from a third edition of the Morning Chronicle : VIENNA, THURSDAY. Accounts have been received, per Trieste tele graph, from Constantinople, to the 26th. The French and Austrian Ambassadors had urged the Sultan to accept the Vienna Note ; but he refused to do so. The Grand National Council consequently met, and approved unanimously of the Ministers' con duct in declaring war. A meeting was also held to frame an address to the Sultan, requesting him solemnly to declare war. The Berlin telegraphic correspondent announces the departure of General Guyon for Warsaw. Report says that the Austrian soldiers on fur lough are all to be recalled forthwith. Another telegraphic dispatch, via Trieste, says : " The beginning of the war is very probable. Firmans with regard to it were expected on the 27th, and were already sent to head-quarters. " There was great financial embarrassment, and a great augmentation of paper currency." WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT CHOLERA ? The question may be asked with equal force of any single phenomenon in nature. What do we know of ourselves ? but that " we are f ear f ully and wonderfully made." What do we know of this earth ? but that it floats in space —a speck in the universe of worlds ; we know th ere i s an enveloping atmosphere, liquid ocea ns, and a cr us t, so lid at t h e sur f ace, b a l anced b y gravity.

Medical analyses have proved that water Z iaci air, co mparatively pure, are absolutely necessary to health ; and sanitary science has shown that men seldom Pol i t s i il I if acient attention to these most important facts. c l economy has recently been raised to the rank et . a sci ence, and men are taught how best to buy, to sell, and to get that gain ; but they have yet to learn lat it is huinan life alone which is of inestimable val ue. 11'..-me Manchester School has learned, and has taught the commercial lesson of free trade in things necessary to th e artificial comforts of life, but men have Yet to learn the sanitary lesson necessary to bodily health, and to a moral and religious enjoyment of life.• The all the text, " What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul," may, para. ra sed, be taken for a sermon on the necessity of sani 41 eprovenaent.

Like the Assyrian General, he wishes to witness the doing of some One th eorist will great thi ng maintain that cholera is owing to 'Volcanic a gency ' the solid crust of the world must be convulsed„ to satisfy his profound imaginings. The choleraic element s aro generated in mysterious subter ranean reservoirs, and, through the tremblings and crackings of the earth, are vomited forth and dispersed in the surrounding atmosphere. We know, however, that cholera has appeared independent of the earthquake, and that the earthquake takes place without producing cholera. A second theorist states that cholera is partial to definable geological systems, and to certain strata. A commission of French physicians reported that cholera was rarely, if ever, found upon the granites. It has also been said, " Cholera follows the course of rivers." Another set of theorists will have it that "a diminution of electricity tends to produce cholera," that there is "a deficiency of ozone in the atmosphere ;" then there is the fungus theory, and the animalculas theory, and the doctrines of contagion, and of non-contagion, advocated and denounced by men of European reputation—men who place M.D. after their names. But,for the " cer tain and unfailing cure of cholera," receipts out of num-, ber are published, pro bono publico, by eminent phy sicians and army surgeons of twenty years' practice, until the public are fairly bewildered ; and, to mend the matter, or rather to disgrace the professors of medicine in the eyes of all the world, we have the medical men sent to Newcastle-upon-Tyne by the General Board of Health, set upon in the midst of their labours (the plague half stayed), and denounced by the local medical men. This, however, does not answer the question— What do we know about cholera ? Without dog matising, we may say historically, that cholera had its birth beneath the burning suns of India —that it was brought forth in a crowded, dirty, ill-ventilated town, surrounded by a thick jungle and by immense swamps—the town of Jepore—that its elder sister was fever. We may also say that cholera con tinues true to its parentage, and ever claims its first vic tims from CROWDED, DIRTY, ILL-VENTILATED PARTS OP TOWNS, having a damp, undrained subsoil. Theorists, in their speculations, have for the most part overlooked one simple fact, namely, that the existence of human beings are necessary to the development of cholera, and that, consequently, where human life is most abundant, there is most scope for the development of cholera, eßpe- cially if the same set of conditions also exist as at the place of its birth. What are the facts in the history of cholera ? Seaports are built on the banks of rivers, on low, swampy, and undrained sites ; population is crowded for purposes of trade, and the character of the people needs not to be described. We know that in such towns there is overcrowding, want of ventilation, filth, and vice in its most degrading forms, in excess. Cholera, therefore, "tracks rivers," and "rages with greatest violence in low situations." But large towns are built on "particular formations," inland for pur poses of trade. The coal measures of England have given birth to Birmingham, to Wolverhampton, to Man chester, and many other secondary towns. Manchester is from 100 to 150 feet above the sea. Wolverhampton and the district around, Bilston, &e., are 500 feet above the sea. Sunderland is situate upon the magnesian limestone. Liverpool and Wolverhampton are upon the new red sandstone. Bilston and Newcastle-upon- Tyne are upon the coal measures. Hull is upon the oolites. London is upon the tertiaries. Dover is upon the chalk. Plymouth is upon secondary limestones. The towns in Cornwall and in the north of Scotland are upon granite. In all these places cholera has raged ; and the wretched, the dissipated, the foul livers, have ever been the greatest sufferers. In Liverpool, cellars were most crowded with human life, and in them least attention was paid to the necessities of health. In the Liverpool cellars occurred so fearful a mortality that an act of Parliament was obtained to prohibit their use. In Glasgow and in Copenhagen houses are let in flats, cellars are used as stores, ground floors as places of business, first floors as best-class residences, whilst the upper floors take the place of the Liverpool cellar tene ment, being crowded with human life, caring nothing for cleanliness nor ventilation. In the upper storeys of these houses cholera raged most, showing that the disease strikes its prepared victims where it finds them, be it on the river's bank, in a morass, or on elevated table land—in the damp and unwholesome cellar, or in the overcrowded, unventilated, and equally unwhole somdlattic. It is said that cholera does not confine its operations to the filthy and to the impure. Fire, once allowed to obtain the mastery, will destroy things in flammable, and so will cholera. The commencement of a fire and of cholera must be prevented, if there is to be safety. What do we know about cholera? This, we fear, must for some time to come, through the blind neglect of men, be a recurring question, and it may never be solved in its entirety. We may, however, presume to say that cholera is controllable, just as fire is controllable, if the proper measures are promptly taken ; and we may also say that, like this subtle element, once ignited it gathers strength if neglected, and only ceases its action when the food upon which it preys has been exhausted. That fever may be diminished, and that cholera may be controlled, there is abundant evidence ; as also that sanitary works, properly executed, and sanitary regula tions efficiently carried out, will save life to an appreci able extent. The sanitary operations in Liverpool have reduced the rate of mortality in that town by upwards of three hundred deaths per annum, and as much re mains to be done in sewering, draining, water supply, cleansing, and regulating, the value of life will still further be added to. The laws governing epidemic pestilences may be be yond the ken of man. Epidemics are not all of one kind, as their history sufficiently proves, and there may be pestilences against which no previous care shall be a protection. Our system threads a mysterious way through space ; and, as the slightest alteration in the composition of the atmosphere will cause disease and death, the whole race may suffer beyond human remedy. The law governing cholera seems, in one respect, to be simple—namely, that its first outbreak in any place is amidst over-crowding, and defective ventilation, filth, squalor, and vice. There has been no exception to this rule in England. From such points the disease has spread (radiated) as the raging of a fire ; or, as the ripple on water after the plunging in of a stone. During the epidemic in 1848-49, Dr. Sutherland noticed this fact in the large towns be visited. The Registrar-Gene ral has published maps of the metropolis, and of the country, showing that on a grand scale the disease obeyed the same law. Cholera does not attack indis criminately, as influenza for instance, and may, there fore, be more readily warded off. That the virus or cholera poison is something positive--something which must have a fitting soil to grow in,—or fitting materials to act upon, seems pretty cer tain. The atmosphere must, at all times, have in numerable seeds of the mould fungus floating harm lessly in it, waiting the presence of decaying animal or vegetable matter to develops them into active and visible life. Where there is rigid cleanliness these seeds remain harmlessly dormant, and so of cholera. This last dread visitation in the north of Europe and at Newcastle• upon-Tyne, has clearly proved that neglected filth in vites the disease. The fact has also been verified that, where local boards of health have been established, and have done their duty, there cholera, though imported, could not spread. R. R.

Colburn's United Service Magazine and Naval and Military Journal. The most interesting article in this magazine is a long memoir of the late Lieutenant-General Sir Charles James Napier. A portrait is prefixed to it. It is remarked—" We do not suppose any of our readers to be unac quainted with the eventful life of Sir Charles Napier, but it will be, we are sure, a pleasure to them and to us to enumerate once more the most striking features in the course of a man who ranks among the bravest and wisest to whom this country has given birth, and who, while he possessed a mind and intellect in every way in keeping with the advancement of our own era, yet retained a singleness of heart and a self-devoting spirit that would have ranked him among the brightest orna ments of the age o f k n i g htl y c hi va l ry ." " St. Cyr" is the subject chosen i n th e p resen t descrip tion of military schools and colleges in France ; it was the residence of Madame de Maintenon. A third article is given on th e " O rgan i sat i on o f th e Russian Army," which is likely to prove a source of interest to many readers at this juncture. The Art Journal.—Two of the plates in this number are from paintings in the Vernon Gallery. They are " The Monk," by E. V. Rippingille, and " Dry Reading," by A. Geddies, R.A. The other engraving is of the statue of Flora, by R. J. Wyatt. The " Illustrated Almanac of the Month" is con tinued. An illustrated article of the exhibition of decorative furniture at Gore House is very interest ing and elegant. No. XXIII. of the " Great Mas ters of 'Art" continues the account of Gabriel Thetsu, a French painter of the last century. "An Artist's Ramble from Antwerp to Rome" is continued. One of the most curious papers is on the domestic manners of the English during the middle ages. The illustrations have a very singu lar and amusing effect. Subscribers to the Art Journal are informed that, in carrying out their intention, of engraving the whole of the pictures in the Vernon Gallery, the publishers are compelled to engrave some which are not satisfactory ; but they consider this disadvantage will be compen sated for by the completeness of the collection. They assert that several of the most beautiful have yet to appear—such as the " Peace and War" of Landseer, the " Dame's School" of Webster, and the " Hamlet" of Maclise. Such a prospect ought to render subscribers contented with any inter vening deficiencies. Prince a falsehood—namely, that the entrance of our ships into the Dardanelles was intended to coerce the patriotic population of Constantinople, and so mitigate the wrath of the Czar—at that very moment, the Turk, with a spark of the old spirit which nearly conquered Europe and struck down the iron oligarchy of the Mamelukes, threw off the fetters, or rather the nets and meshes of diplomacy with which England had trammelled his limbs, and declared that, come weal, come woe, he at least would not sacrifice his honour, but die with his scymitar in his hand, and in the broad light of day. Will England desert him now ? Englishmen, such is the position of affairs abroad. Are they better at home ? For what do you keep in power the present Ministry ? What have they done to de serve your confidence ? Is it because they sacri fice the honour of England's soldiery—that soldiery that never sacrificed their own—to propitiate the Romish priests of Ireland Is it because by their procrastinations and imbecility they have paralysed the commerce of England in the East of Europe, and thrown doubt and confusion over every transaction in that quarter ? Is it because by their financial arrangements you will have to meet large demands which were never calculated on in the budget? Is it because you have got the income tax for seven years, on the faith of a pledge that the price of all consumable articles would be reduced, and you have to pay it, with bread at 10d. per 41b., and wheat at 70s.—not to say 80s.—a quarter ?Is it because they have encouraged a bubble trade to Aus tralia, where the markets are glutted and the goods lying unsaleable? Is it because they have managed to produce a fall of 10 per cent. in the funds, and that you have only 15 millions of gold in the Bank against 22 last year, notwithstanding the enor mous sums imported from Australia ? Again we ask, for which of these good things the men of England support the Ministry of Lord Aberdeen ? But we hope for better things. We believe that the people of England will insist upon having a man for their representative and chief. Symptoms are not wanting that such is the case. Sheffield has has spoken, Stafford has pronounced, and Leicester has emphatically declared her opinions. In a few days we shall have to record the expression of the feeling entertained.by the metropolis of the world —how long to be so, if these things are permitted ? —and we have no doubt that feeling will be spoken in a voice of thunder —that England has been be trayed—that her allies have been deserted—that her great name has been disgraced--and that the Coalition which has done all these things, and more also, shall no longer cumber her councils, or con tinue to make her a bye-word through th e wor ld and cowardice. for treachery, meanness, THE NEIV METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. Yesterday, in the afternoon, the members of the Markets Improvement Committee, appointed by the Corporation of the City of London, to carry out the details connected with the new Metropolitan Cattle Market, in Copenhagen-fields, proceeded, in company with the chairman, Henry L. Taylor, Esq., to the site, near Holloway, for the purpose of inspecting the pro gress of the works, the whole of they ascertained to be in a very premising state of forwardness, considering the gigantic character of the undertaking. The levelling and preparation of the ground, for the market itself, for the several roads and approaches, for the cattle lairs, the public and private slaughter-houses, and other works, present to the public, now, something like a rough outline of the vastness as well as the fit ness of the plan prepared for the purpose by Mr. Bunning, the city architect. In order that visitors may obtain a more complete bird's-eye view of the whole of the arrangements proposed, the commit tee have caused a temporary but substantial platform (approachable by several steps) to be erected ; the place upon which it stands being the identical spot upon which will be built the market banking-houses. This erection, which will be surmounted by a clock-tower, will show twelve frontages. Its situation will be exactly in the centre of the great square, or market, enclosing 15 acres and 4 perches of ground, intended solely for the penning of sheep and the tying of bullocks brought for sale. Within this area there will be ample room for the accom modation of 40,320 sheep ; and, allowing two feet of rail for each bullock, 6,794 bullocks may be "tied" there. The Corporation of the City of London having declared their intention of carrying into execution the act of Parliament (14th and 15th Vict., cap. 61, denomi nated the "Metropolitan Market Act, 1851,") out of their own funds, the tolls, &c., will be received by. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons for their own use, and may be paid and applied as they may direct." When the market-place, slaughter-houses, and conveniences, now in the course of construction, have been provided, and a table of tolls and payments pre pared, the days for holding the market will be ap pointed ; after which the committee will have to report what they have done to one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, to which report a copy of the table of tolls and payments, fixed as aforesaid, will have to be annexed. Then it will be lawful for such Secre tary of State to fix a time for the opening of the mar ket and slaughter-houses, and, " by a notice under his hand, to be published in the London Gazette, to notify that such market-places and slaughter-houses have been provided," also specifying " the time when the same will be opened." From that time " Smithfield-market will cease to be a market for the sale ofcattle and horses ;" and from the time that it is officially notified that such is the case, the markets for such purposes will be holden in the respective places provided under the "Metropolitan Market Acts," such markets to be deemed "public mar kets." No " new market for the sale of cattle or horses" to be afterwards " opened in the City of London or Westminster, or the liberties thereof, or the Borough of Southwark, or at any place distant less than 7 miles in a straight line from St. Paul's Cathedral, in the City of London." It has been reported by some party, whose statement is not to be relied upon, that " the new mar ket will be opened for the sale of cattle at the ensuing Christmas Show." The work which has to be accom plished before the opening can take place, and the stipu lations of the statute as to the official process which must be gone through before the whole of the market and the conveniences connected therewith can be de clared, in Parliamentary parlance, " provided and fixed," proves the rumour to be unfounded. The committee themselves believe, that the Christmas of 1854 is the most likely period for the opening of the new market. SPORTING NOTES. THE RUNNING AND DEFEAT OF NANCY. Nancy actually put in an appearance at Chester. She started for the principal Handicap, and was ingloriously defeated. This was the only interesting and important incident connected with the meeting—an incident that created a "sensation," and occasioned not a little per plexity and suspicion. Notwithstanding the boasting of her partisans, and the rumours of her regenerated racing power, I was prepared to witness her defeat ; and my opinion on her chance, and the movement that again brought her prominently into notice, was expressed in The Sun on Monday. Her performance gave no indica tion of racing ability, and was so utterly bad as to destroy all confidence in her for the future. Although she obtained a good start, she never once figured in com pany with the leading competitors. At the commence ment of the encounter she was last but four, and she gradually dropped into the rear until she became abso lutely last. On passing the stand, however, the first time, she slipped, and was thrown out of her stride, but this occurrence was not sufficient to jeopardise her chance, if, indeed, she ever had a chance. She was the first beaten in the race, and she walked in, her jockey bespattered with mud, amidst the jeers and shouts of the spectators. Her condition was anything but satisfactory. She had apparently undergone no preparation, and she gallopped short and stilty. Nancy will, I believe, run for the Cesarewitch ; but it seems reasonable to suppose that her party would scarcely have allowed her to start for a comparatively insignifi cant race at Chester, where she was liable to an acci dent, and where her victory would have increased her weight, bad they entertained a belief in her ability to win that event. Her party have either made a gross mistake, or have systematically practised upon the gul libility of the public. On a future occasion I shall again refer to this and other proceedings connected with Nancy. On Saturday I shall institute some odious compari sons between the chances of the probable competitors for the Cesarewitch. A FRESH MAN. 100 86 Aberdeen ............. Ambg. Nottng. Bost. Bastn.

The Irish Quarterly Review opens with a paper on French social life, which is lively and amusing. " The Streets of Dublin"l continued has reached the seventh number. An interesting article on the poets of fashion gives us a selection of pleasing verses from popular writers, such as James Smith, Haynes Bayley, Theodore Hook, Atc. Two char acteristic essays, "On the Development of Irish Industry," and " Arts in our Metropolis,!' are the most conspicuous in the remainder of the contents. The Church of England Quarterly Review pre sents us with a very able and instructive paper on " Pulpit Eloquence." It is founded on a work re cently published by Professor Vinet, of Lausanne. Any one who has had the pleasure of perusing his sermons will certainly allow him to be qualified to instruct others on the " Theory of Preaching." " Life in the Prairies" asserts that the generality of civilised folks suffer from an over refinement of habits—that they exercise their imagination at the expense of their judgment—that they de pend too much on the experience of others—and that a " little brisk travelling in a practical coun try," hunting buffaloes and fighting with Indians, would do most of them a considerable amount of benefit. There is a very favourable criticism on Mr. Atherstone's poem on the " Fall of Nineveh," which, curiously enough, was written before the recent discoveries were made, and public attention drawn to the subject. " Alchemy and Gold," is an essay on the gold-finding wonders of California and Australia, which, indeed, surpass the miracles of the wizards of the " Arabian Nights." There are various other subjects of theological interest. The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology, gives us many valuable sta tistics on the important subject of the treatment of the insane. The reports of the American asylums are also given, and much information on the amuse ments, exercise, &c., best calculated to benefit the patients. Those specially interested in the consi deration of this topic, will find in this work much to assist them, and the collection of the various accounts and reports gives an opportunity of com paring the different methods, which is very bene ficial. The Journal of Agriculture commences with an article on agricultural movements in Ireland. " Social condition of our Labourers" involves an important question, which has not yet received the consideration it merits. Many subjects of agricul tural interest are treated of in this number, and an interesting account of the meeting of the Royal Society, by a Frenchman, will attract the reader's attention. THE EASTERN QUESTION AND THE COALITION MINISTR Y. (Prom the Morning fferald.) Noblemen, gentlemen, merchants, traders, and operatives of England, are you prepared to be held up to Europe and to posterity as the nation which urged its ally and friend to resist oppression, and then shrunk from supporting him in the struggle in which your advice had involved him ? Are you prepared to have this damning deser tion recorded against you in the face of your own declarations—that the cause of that ally was the cause of truth, justice, and independence, while that of his opponent was that of violence, oppres sion, and piracy ? Remember that the reputation of England has stood the storms of 800 years, as that of a bold and straightforward nation, which, whatever might be the accusations brought against it of pride, and perhaps of overweening self-confidence, has never yet been deemed capable of cowardice and treach ery. Yet such will be the case—and such will justly be the case—if you delay one hour in calling for an account of the use that has been made of your misplaced confidence by men who have traf ficked with your good name, either for the accom olishmentorforthe o e f v e m e e an, worse sel fi e s r h h a e n of d f pan a c factious e g o purposes,the vices and ambitions of foreign despots, so as to make the great name of England abhorred through out Europe and the world as the tool of despotism and the enemy of freedom. Surely it cannot be tolerated for one moment that any set of men, however constituted, are to hold the irresponsible government of this mighty empire, and to use it so as to lower her reputation, desert her allies in the utmost need, paralyse her commerce, and damnify her financial credit--and yet that there is to be no account exacted—no punishment inflicted. Englishmen must be changed, indeed, if such proceedings do not produce an up-heaving of the nation, from end to end, to declare that these things shall not be, and that those who in spite of the warn ings of an almost unanimous press—in spite of the almost universally expressed opinion of every man throughout the land possessed of a spark of honour, either personal or national, that they had betrayed both us and our friends and allies, have still per sisted in carrying out a secret system of diplomatic fourberie, shall rule us no more. Why is it that these Eastern matters have not been closed six months ago 7 Does any man believe that if England had. spoken out, and said boldly to the Russian Autocrat, " So far shalt thou go, and no further," that even Nicholas would have dared to act as he has done ? There is not a man living who believes it, and if there be let him recall to mind the fact that all these daring aggressions, all these insolent and audacious claims, were put forward the very moment it was known at St. Petersburg that the man who approved of the march of Diebitch in 1829, and connived at the treaty of Adrianople, was again in place, if not in power, in England. The Autocrat well knew that (luring the rule of that man the only power on earth which he feared was paralysed, as far as her Government could paralyse her—and that the great obstacle to his ambitious designs no longer stood in his way. It is time for England to rouse herself, and for the people of this country to declare that they will not any longer be the accomplices of men who have acted as Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet have acted; that they will not continue to be fools, or perform any longer the part of the "Soft easy chairs that knaves repose and fatten in." Lord Aberdeen's Cabinet ! ! Where is it ? who has heard of it ? Its assemblage has not been re corded in the Court Circular—and yet hole-and corner meetings of " some of the member s of the Cabinet"—twos and threes—have been brought to gether, and an irresponsible clique has usurped the functions of the responsible and c onstitutional advisers of the Queen. Can such things be ? Are we in Venice or in England ? Can it be that the time has come when Englishmen will submit to be ruled by a " Council of Three ?" When such . was the case in Venice, even the s oi-disant Republicans of that oligarchical state were so gusted with th e ir position, that they never named their rulers, but held up three fingers to represent the unmen tionable abomination. Let Bnglishmen remember that at the very mo ment when it wa s almost ostentatiously proclai me d that Lord Westmoreland .was instructed to pen fresh Rwith the . mild and placable ruler of Rssigv--when he was instructed to declare to that THE BALTIC TRADE. The Belfast Chronicle says :—" A natural uneasi ness exists at present in the minds of merchants and shipowners engaged:. n the Baltic trade, lest in case of war Russia should place an embargo on British shipping and cargoes coming from the Bal tic this month with flax and flax-seed. For the purpose of, if possible, removing the apprehen sions so generally prevalent, or at least of obtain ing some reliable information, Mr. Davison, M.P., addressed the following letter to Mr. Cardwell, President of the Board of Trade : "Belfast, 24th Sept., 1853. "My dear sir—l am sorry to trespass on your va luable time, but I do so at the instance of some of the leading merchants of Belfast, engaged in the Baltic trade, who naturally enough b eg i n to entertain serious apprehensions for the safety of their ships and cargoes coming next month from the Baltic with flax and flax seed, should the pending negotiations fail amicably to adjust the Eastern question. As the subject is one which deeply affects one of our great branches of com merce—the linen trade of Ulster—l feel I shall readily be excused for troubling you with this communication. " 'The value of flax -seed imported annually here from Riga may be estimated at something about 70,0001., whilst the flax brought from the Baltic may be taken at five times that amount ; and this is the season at which merchants generally send forward their ships, or orders fur supplies of seed. The value of property, therefore, at stake in the United Kingdom is very considerable, more especially when we include the value of the ships conveying it. " The merchants apprehend that, in the event of war, the Russians might confiscate their ships and car goes ; and this apprehension is increased from the fact that there is no British fleet of the line in the Baltic capable of affording them protection. I know not how far it comes within your province to quiet such alarms, or to satisfy the mercantile community that the Govern ment will afford them all requisite protecaon ; but, having been requested to make this communication, and concurring in its necessity and importance, I should be culpable if I omitted a post in submitting these details for your consideration. Hoping that you will favour me with an early reply on this all-importa nt subject, I , have the honour to be, my dear sir, your ver y obedient servant, " 'RICHARD DAVISON, M P. for Belfast. . " 'To the Right Honourable Edward Cardwell, President Board of Trade , London. " gln reply to the foregoin document, Mr. Davison has received a communicati on from Mr.Cardwell, Pre sident of the Board of Tra de, acknowledging its trans mission, and stating that Government would give the subject due and full consideration. Ills. —By a new regulation, C UST OMS APPOINT ME which has been approved by thoemilLinoartdesdofastheextTrra ceasmler•y, ks i t is directed that person must be 18 and under 40 persons • ynears of age, must produce cer tificates of age and characte r , an d will be subject to exam i na tion in writing and arithmetic ; and, should it a ppear from such examination th a t t h ey will be qualified after a probation, they w ill b e placed on duty for a month. If not qualified at the end of that time their appointments will be cancelled, and in that case they will not be paid the uo.ual allowance for the time they were on probation ; but, should their conduct have been in all respects satisfactory, the Board will have to con- sider whether half the pay of an extra clerk should not be allowed. In all cases the principal officers are to satisfy themselves, as far as practicable, that the persons are proper to be admitted into the service, and to state their opinion as to their age, when reporting to the Board the result of their preliminary inquiries, in cases where they have reason to believe that they aro either over or under the ages specified. THE NEW ASSESSED TAXES.—Before Monday next the articles, &c., now exempted from the assessed taxes, which will in future be taxable, are to be discontinued, or the parties will be charged with the new duties for the year beginning in April neat.

Deaths on the 3d of October : The attack of cholera at Walker has proved to be a severe one. One extra medical officer, two visitors, and an inspector of nuisances has been appointed, and two houses of refuge have been established. Seven deaths have occurred since Monday midnight. Five have been found lying dead, and many in a state of collapse, chiefly among the tenants of lodging-rooms. The disease has thus far been confined to two spots. Much overcrowd ing exists in those parts. The total number of deaths since the 13th ult. (in a population of 3,200) has been 17. GATESHEAD. Oct. 4.—One death only registered for cholera. LONDON. Oct. 5. —A fatal case of cholera occurred yesterday in a respectable family in Kennington Oval, Lambeth. The open foul sewer ditch, of which the residents have so long complained, passes at the rear of the house. The local authorities of the parish have made urgent complaints of the long lines of filthy ditches and badly constructed sewers traversing the district. Most of the latter were represented rather as depositories of putrid mud than channels for the removal of the sullage. Dr. Milroy, in conjunction with Mr. Hall, of the Poor-law Board, had a conference with the board of guardians of St. George's, Southwark. Several attacks of cholera have already taken place in the more neglected and filthy parts of the parish, and there is much diarrhoea in some of its districts. SPECIAL SERVICES IN CONSEQUENCE OF THE REAP PEARANCE OF THE CHOLERA. — Yesterday morning special services, under the sanction of the Lord Bishops of London and Winchester, were performed in the several churches and chapels throughout the deanery of South wark, including the parish of St. George-the-Martyr, Bermondsey, Christ Church, Surrey, St. Mary, New ington, Lambeth, and also at Guy's Hospital, and other metropolitan parishes, praying the Almighty to avert and altogether withdraw the cholera. WINDSOR. Yesterday, in consequence of a circular received front the Poor-law Inspector, a special meeting of the guar dians of the Windsor Union was held at the board-room of the workhouse, Old Windsor. The medical officers were all in attendance, viz., Mr. Pearl, for the Windsor district ; Mr. Ridout, for the Egham district ; and Mr. Brown, for the Sunning -hill district. Each of these officers reported that all had been done that was neces sary or advisable in the way of prevention ; that the whole of the districts were in an unusually healthy con dition ; and that no cases of cholera or malignant fever had come under their notice. 25 25 50 al l 11 100 all 100 42 34. all 100 1 100 100 474 174. 100 4 17i, 100 all 3 100 50 25 100 St. 100 100 100 100 10 261 14 20 20 60i 2 71 3 124 104 801 pm 62i 4 3 1B 7i 94 5 103 2i 59 60 591 81 25. 61 i 38 i xd xd ni id 58 1 9 1 71 344 lli I RAILWAYS.

Oct. 4.—One fatal case of cholera has occurred here. A woman named Atkinson, a person of intemperate habits, who had been ailing for a fortnight, died on Saturday night. She was attended by two medical men, but the disease was too far advanced for the re medies applied to be of any service. Some medicine prescribed for her a few days before her death she had thrown away. She was buried on Sunday afternoon in Trinity churchyard ; the coffin was not taken into the church. The officer of health has given orders for the bedding to be burnt, and for the house being fumigated with chloride of lime. There have been two other cases, but both have recovered. Diarrhoea, though it has been prevailing to some extent, is much below what we usu ally have had at this season of the year. The town is in a good state to meet an attack of cholera, the local board of health has been so active since the appearance of the epidemic at Newcastle. NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE. About 2,0001. have been raised by voluntary contri bution for the relief of the suffering poor, bereaved and rendered destitute by the ravages of the cholera. Earl Grey had contributed 501. The epidemic continues to abate, and Dr. Gavin has already dispensed with the services of five of his medical visitors. Four of the as sistant medical officers and all the medical students em ployed by the board of guardians have also been super seded. MANCHESTER. The death of a young man named James Maxwell, a mechanic, residing in Fairfield-street, which took place on Sunday evening, has been certified to have resulted from "Asiatic cholera." We have heard that the symp toms differed from those usually observed in connection with the disease, especially in the absence of diarrhoea ; but that the medical gentleman who was called in on Sunday morning has no doubt as to the case being one of cholera. The general health of the neighbourhood continues remarkably good ; yesterday there were only eight cases of diarrhcea under treatment by the medical officers of the Manchester township, and they were all of an ordinary character. ST. JAMES'S, WESTMINSTER. A death from cholera (Asiatic), at 35, Poland-street, Oxford-street, was yesterday reported. The deceased was a butcher, and carried on his business in the above premises. The attack was but of short duration. His wife, who had been some time bedridden, was so shocked at the suddenness of her bereavement, that she expired shortly after receiving the intelligence. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD. The new medical school just now opened for the first time, in connection with the Royal Free Hospital, was inaugurated on Tuesday evening, October 4, by an elo quent lecture delivered by Dr. Tyler Smith, lecturer on the theory and practice of midwifery at this school of medicine, and physician-accoucheur to St. Mary's Hos pital, Paddington. Amongst the members of the medical staff of the hos pital and school we recognisad Dr. Barnes ' Dr. Bennett, Dr. Ballard, M r. W a kl ey, Dr. Glover, Dr. Arthur Hill Hassall, Mr. De Meric, and others ' • and amongst the visitors, th e di st i ngu i shed City surgeons, Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Coulson, and Mr. Propert, with many of the re spectable m e di ca l practitioners residing in the neighbour hood of the institution. Dr. TYLER SMITH commenced his lecture by remark ing that the inauguration of a new school of medicine, in connection with one of the London hospitals was an event of no ordinary importance to those who were in terested in the progress of medical science, and the duty of addressing the students assembled had devolved upon. him. He thought he could not better occupy their at tention than by referring to the subject of medical teach ing, relating to the past, the present, and the future in our own country, and the position of the various medi cal schools in the metropolis. He passed in rapid re view the earlier stages of medical knowledge, and its practice as an art in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Alexandria, and Constantinople, and thence to Spain with the conquests of the Saracens, and thence again to Italy, France, and this country, by the reflected influ ence of the Crusades. It was only necessary to say that medical art and science followed in the track of advancing civilisation. Medicine was first taught in Egypt by the priests in their temples, but until the Christian era there were no hospitals erected, the first being built at Constantinople. Thus medicine passed from the religious temple to the hospital. so making a. most momentous change in its history. The first school of medicine, properly so called, was established at Sali num, in the eleventh and twelfth century of the Chris tian era. In reference to the history of medical teach ing, he observed that the hospital of St. Bartholomew, founded by Raphere, in the thirteenth century, Was the oldest institution of its kind in England. He then re ferred to the medical teaching at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and that period and the fol lowing Lsiicniacanres o a u ra n oe d fs e r of the col lege y centuries, mentiocnainiugs,tthhee the founder of the Eng lish College Harvey ; Sir T. Brow n ; at Cambridge w hich now bears hi s name ; M ea d ; and Friend, who all studied at one or more of the medical schools in France, Italy, and Holland. Ho then referred to oc t o h bt e iraon s t t d ae of morentmedical teaching in the a f w u e t n i r i i e so v n t. e l c r s e e fa i t tio i s e o s e t r h og o t e el f ,a t n A S d • for England and in the middle of the last century, alluding to s o o sp t i h ta e b su d d n d r e in n g d a e s a o th rt o n f f J s o tri hn te H be u tw nte ee r n , him and other authorities, on the subject of disputed fees n from th e s t u d ents, ar i s i ng f rom atten d ance on hos pital pra c ti ce an d i nstruct i on in t h e c l ass room. M ore h first 600 years elapsed between the foundation of the hospital in this country and the establishment of regular schools of medicine. The lecturer then referred to the great intellectual requirements of the members of the medical profession, enumerating the various I scientific subjects with which they must have acquain tance, as materia medica, botany, chemistry, anatomy, physiology, toxicology, therapeutics, the knowledge of the use of the microscope, &c. He then alluded to the reciprocal relations between the teachers and the taught, and the influence of both upon the examining corporations, referring briefly to the present state of ' the medical corporate bodies of the metropolis, the College of Physicians, the College of Surgeons, and the Company of Apothecaries. He compared the state of medical education in this country with that of France, and concluded his truly eloquent lecture, which was evidently listened to throughout with marked attention and gratification, by relating the circumstance which gave origin to the establishment of the Royal Free Hos pital in 1828, by Dr. Win. Marsden—an institution which was for the benefit of all who, through sickness, might require its charitable and relieving aid. After the lecture there was a cowversazione, at which several most beautiful models of anatomical preparations and pathological specimens were exhibit sevedre,al in wax, plaster of Paris, gutty percha, &c., with remark able surgical instruments, and photographic and other drawings laid out in the museum in the course of forming. Liberal refreshments were also provided in the room, which is hereafter to be fitted up as a library, and of which many of the audience remained to partake. nine next led ; Lego -3 ne were nent Con this gates ie to ) fol- Em itary )n at 3lock ters- Cap - 3 d 0 0 c iti, et ° II RIOP ; k3 coot` • tha t wan r a bet Sol e ' f the ,then" er j 9
