This weekly Work is dedicated to the interest of the Farmer, and to Agriculturists in general, from the culti vator of thousands of acres to the humble tiller of a cottage garden. At the present moment, the Farmer has to con sult a number of Publications for intelligence required by his situation ; " THE BRITISH YEOMAN," there fore, combines within its pages all that information which is now scattered through a variety of periodicals ; thus rendering, as far as the subject of Agriculture is con cerned, a reference to any other publication wholly unne cessary. With this desirable end in view, " THE BRI TISH YEOMAN" contains the best and most authentic intelligence, under the following heads :- 1. Original Articles-2. The Custom of Countries—fl.

There are tine hanging woods in St. James's and Trelawny, and we do sincerely hope that the bodies of all the Methodist preachers who may be convicted of sedition, may diversify the scene—after this our hostility, even to men so reckless of blood, carnage, and slaughter, shall cease." The three Baptist ministers alluded to, are, William Knibb, William Whitehorne, and Thomas Abbott, who had been forwarded under an escort to the head-quarors at Montego Bay, where a military tribunal was sitting. An other Baptist preacher, named William Boy, was also in custody. The Jamaica journals ascribe the insurrection entirely to the sectarian preachers, but more especially to the Baptist missionaries. One account, says that " the poor deluded wretches who have been captured, and the ringleaders, who are all Baptists, declared that the mis sionaries told them that they were to he free ; and it their freedom was withheld at the end of the year, they must take it by force !"

FEBRUARY 20, 1832. The speech of Earl GREY, at the grand en tertainment given on Saturday to his Majesty's Ministers by the LORD MAYOR, will be read with great interest. It is satisfactory in every respect ; satisfactory as regards the state and prospects of the Reform Bill ; satisfactory as re gards the present posture of our relations with the Continent, more especially with France. On this latter subject the Noble Earl spoke with much explicitness. "He entertained a sanguine, he might say a perfect, hope that the peace of Europe would be preserved. He fully agreed with those who thought that the time had passed away, when they would be induced to think that any two nations would regard each other as natural enemies. From the hour when he came into office down to the present moment, every thing that had occurred, confirmed the hope that these anticipations would be realised.' On the subject of the Reform Bill his Lordship observed, " in originating the great question then under the consideration of the Legislature, he was aware that he had incurred a great re sponsibility, but he could no more doubt the propriety of so incurring that responsibility than he could doubt that the great measure would be eventually crowned with success. He was aware of the anxiety felt by the public on this subject, and he would not allow himself to doubt that their wishes would be realised, for the great measure was advancing steadily to a certain and successful issue." Nothing can be more cheer ing than this statement, which, proceeding, as it does, officially, from the mouth of a States man who has never yet sullied his high fame by a falsehood, at once sets at rest alb doubt and anxiety respecting the safety of the Reform Bill, and neutralizes the venom of those outrageous calumnies with which, day by day, the Tory Press has been teeming for months past. We have Lord GREY'S own explicit, deliberate de claration that the important measure of Reform is " advancing steadily to a certain and success issue." What more can we desire ? No thing but that that issue may be as speedy as it is certain. We have 'received the French Papers of Fri day and Saturday. Their contents are not re markable for any foreign news of importance, and the domestic intelligence is divided between a report of the appearance of cholera at Paris, and the reduction of clerical salaries. In the Chamber of Deputies' Sitting of February 15, th e v ote of 1365,000 f. to the Archbishops and Bishops was reduced to 880,0001., through the au° Ptiol), by a considerable majority, of an amendment moved by M. LUNEAU. The rreig on this article is 485 , 000 f. The bbishop o f VA RI s will cm receive , "" ) '° o of., i nstea d o f 50,000 f., or 1,0411. : telli ng, instead 'of 2, 0821 . sterling. Thir teen:' Archbi s h o p' s will receive 15 ,000 f. each t, 2( 1 1 •), or 95,0001. instead of 325 , 00 01. Sixty -o;6nßihops will receive 10,0001. each (4160, Ar 1,1?'? 00 1. instead -of 990,000 f. .Thus the "!['01) of PARIS, thirteen Arch...bishops, and all 36,602/., or about Bishops receive in as much as one of the sinecure Bishops of Ireland. The Judges of the Court of Caseation and of the Cour Royale received 15,0001., or 6241. sterling. They were reduced to 12,000 f. or 4991., say 500/. Certainly, if a Judge of the Supreme Courts of France receives only 500/ a year, the Archbishop of PARIS is well paid with 1,041/. With respect to the cholera having appeared on the banks of the Seine, it is not true the case of the individual who died was Asiatic cholera, but a disease common to Paris as well as other places. Notwithstanding the ravages of cholera in Europe, its chief terror consists in the name more than the mortality ; and when the word becomes more familiar, it will cease like other diseases to be dreaded. The following are the only extracts wort h giving : (From the Journal des Pyrenees Oriente:les of Feb. 1 1.) Public tranquillity was disturbed in the quartier St. Matthieu de Perpignan, during the night of the 9:h and 1 oth of the month, some evil-disposed persons paraded the streets after eleven o'clock, uttering seditious cries. A patrol of watchmen pursued them, without, however, overtaking them, or having discovered who they were. One of those agents was struck to the ground by a stone levelled at his breast. It was nearly two o'clock before these brawlers were dispersed. An enquiry has been set on foot. (From the Constitutionnel of Feb. 18.) A morning Paper has been led into error in regard to some facts concerning Don Pedro. (The extract of yes terday from the Journal du Commerce.) We can most positively declare, that Don Pedro has always acted with the greatest frankness towards the French Ministry, and that he has constantly declared that he did not separate the cause of his daughter Iron. that of the Constitution of 1626. He could never in that way have hoped to obtain the sup port of France for his expedition. France may wisn him success, but can not participate in the chances of it. No relations, either political or social, are possible with Don Miguel, and the French Government must necessarily de sire an order of things which will guarantee the security of its transactions and of those of French merchants ; but Engl and is still more directly interested than we are, and still England will have neither to refuse nor to grant her assistance to either of the two brothera while the strife is between them alone. The intervention of a third party can induce her intervention. With regard to the despatches mentioned, none whatever has been forwarded since his departure from Pat is. The coincidence of these reports, with the appearance of the Portuguese loan on 'Change, might give this news, though unfounded, an importance certainly not foreseen the day before by the journal. DISTURBANCES IN HUNGARY. A private letter from Berlin, dated Feb. 7, states that the news of the disturbances in Hungary is confirmed. A letter from Prague speaks of them with certainty; but in order not to weaken the political influence of Austria, not to allow it to be believed abroad that such a thing is possible in the states of his Apostolical Majesty, no Journal is to make mention of it. The cause, though unknown, is attributed to the arrangements of Cracow and the extermination of Polish nationality by the Em peror Nicholas. The Hungarians are warmly at tached to the Polish nation, and they complain aloud of Austria's aiding Russia in the subjugation of that nation, but M. Von Metternich persuaded the Mag nates that the clemency of Nicholas would lot exemplary, and that the peace of Europe depended solely on the con quest of Poland. Since Warsaw is reduced to subjection, Metternich's promises unaccomplished, and the preserve tion of peace not very positive, dissatisfaction against the Government could no longer be concealed. These are the principal causes of the disturbances in Hungary. The last couriers from Vienna, which have followed one another in quick succession, have already announced this intelligence to our Government. General Clam Marignac is here only to alter the principles of Russia on the subject of Cracow.

We point attention to another column, for the particulars of an insurrection, which broke out among the slaves in Jamaica, but which was partially suppressed by the prompt interference of the military. We fear that matters will never go on right in the West Indies, until Ministers take up the question much in the same way they interfered for Ireland, with respect to the tithe system. Whatever may be said against slavery, and with justice, we suspect that the poor planters are now as much misrepresented and harrassed, as the condition of the slaves is exaggerated from mistaken notions of huma nity and cant. A reduction of the duty on sugars and other colonial produce, would go far to re concile the differences at present existing, and pave the way for that general amelioration which must be as desirable to the master as to the slave. Hamburg and German Papers have beer, received this morning. An article dated Berlin alludes to the mission of Count ORLOFF as be. ing of a very pacific character, in consequence of which the Funds rose. Although the Bel gian treaty is not ratified by Russia, yet the in structions given to Count ORLoFF are of such a character as to require no reference for fuller powers. He may ratify, or not, according to circumstances. Upon the strength of this Russia is said to be disarming, which is the best com mentary she can make in reliance of her sincerity in the belief of peace continuing ; and Prussia is a good judge.

FUNERAL PER VAST—On Thursday morn ing, a packing case arrived at Chesterfield, by PICKFORD'S waggon, from Manchester, directed to " THOMAS WHITE. Shirland, near Chesterfield," and entered on the way bill, " A corpse, to pay 10s. carriage." This extraordinary entry very naturally excited so much suspicion that the case was opened at PicKroith's warehouse. It was found to contain a new coffin, on the plate of which was the in scription" THOMAS TOWNDROW, died January 28, 1632, aged 69." The coroner was made acquainted with the circumstance. A constable was sent over to Mr. WityrF., and it was supposed that this was merely a fictitious ad dress, and that the dissection table was the real destination of the corpse. The suspicion was but suspicion, for on that same evening the case was claimed. It seems that the deceased, who had died at Manchester, wished to have his remains interred at Shirland, and his friends had chosen this mode of conveyance as the least expensive. Only for this explanation what " a tale of mystery" the affair would have been !—Derbyshire courier.

Tic LORD CHANCELLOR and the Judges, among whom vaa Mr. Baron GURNEY, sat in the House of Lords, to lay, to hear the case of Cadell v. Palmer, the question in .vhich was of no importance whatever to the public, arising principally upon the law of perpetuity. Sir E. SUGDEN on the part of the appellant was addres sing the House when our reporter left. BANKRUPTCY COURT.-(THIS DAY.) JUDGMENT.-MOULT V. BARROW. Their Ilialsouits gave judgment this morning in this , iankropt petition, which was heard some time ago, on the petition of the assignees of the estate of Thomas arrow and George Geddes, against the judgment of the Commissioners, finding Messrs. Williams and Company entitled to prove against the joint estate of Barrow and Geddes, and also against the separate estates of Geddes. The facts of the case were shortly these :—W. [bacon and Co., were holders and endorsees for the value of two bills, one for 2551. 165., and another for 3821. 13s. it three months. The bills were drawn by Barrow and Co. upon, and accepted by, Thomas Johnson and Co. ; they were endorsed by the drawers to Geddes and Co., and by them to Ratcliffe and Co. Thomas Barrow and Co. were commission-agents at Manchester, and that busi ness was carried on by T. Barrow and G. Geddes, the two bankrupts. The firm of Johnson and Co. carried on busi ness as warehousemen in London ; that business was con ducted by Jahnson and Geddes, one of the bankrupts. The firm of Geddes and Co. carried on business as cotton manufacturers at Stockport, and was conducted by George Geddes, Ratcliffe and Co., carried on their business at Chester. Messrs. Williams and Co. at the time of taking the bills were ignorant that Geddes was a partner with Barrow and Co. In Sept. 1828, a joint commission issued against Barrow and Geddes, and in the October following a com. mission was sued out against Thomas Johnson and Co. In the 'ninth of November, in the same year, Messrs. Williams and Co. being the holders of the two bills, proved them under Johnson and Co.'s commission, under which dividends had been declared to the amount of 2s. Sil. in the pound. In 1830, Williams and Co. proved the s ime bills under the commission against Barrow and Geddes, first against the joint estate of Barrow and Geddes for the whole amount, and against the separate estate of Geddes for the arnount--minue the dividend declared under Johnson's commission. This proof being allowed try the Commissioner, Moult and his co-assignee presented the present appeal from that de cision, and prayed that Messrs. Williams and Co. might be ordered to elect before the Commissioners whether they would remain creditors of the joint estate of Barrow and Geddes, or of the separate estate of the latter. The CHIEF JUSTICE, in giving judgment, went elabo rately into the authorities that governed the question, and in conclusion, stated his opinion to be that the creditor must elect. That opinion was founded upon the general rule established in bankruptcy, no case carrying the ex ception to that rule ►o far as would be necessary in the present case, and also on an express decision of Lord Eldon's. With respect to the dividends declared under Johnson's commission, it was the opinion of his Honour they must be deducted from the proof. Mr. Justice PELL could not concur with the opinion ex pressed by the Chief Judge. The ground on which it was contended there could not be a double proof, was that the rule of bankruptcy was arbitrary. Was that arbitrary rule correspondent with law or justice; clearly it was not. He was, therefore, called upon to countenance a proposition which was ba-ed altogether upon arbitrary judgment, and not founded either upon principle, law, or justice. Before he could do that lie must have direct and positive authority. It was not to be supposed, that placed as he was in a new situation, he was at all disposed to run counter to the judgment of learned and eminent men—but when his reason could not assent to their propositions, he was bound to state the result of his judgment. He might be charged with rashness for doing so, but he considered it his duty. The Learned Judge then went at consider able length into the authorities, and concludeir d by expressing it as his firm opinion, that Messrs. Williams and Co. were entitled to the double proof. Mr. Justice CROSS coincided entirely with the judgment of Mr. Justice Pell. Mr. Justice Ross concurred with the opinion expressed by the Learned Chief Judge. The result therefore was, that as no order could be mad.. by the Court as to the double proof, the judgment of the Commissioners remained in force, and the dividends received under Johnson's commission were ordered to he deducted from the double proof. OLD BAILEY.-(THIS DAY.) John 'Watson, aged 41, was convicted of stealing three candlesticks, the property of John Robert Green. It wa4 proved that, in July last, the prisoner was con ♦irted:of felony, and sentenced to six months' imprisonment. His Lordship sentenced him to be transported for seven years. Ross Carney, a young man, was indicted for uttering s forged order for the delivery of goods with intent to de fraud Simon Mines. Simon Mines, of No. 7, Bedfordbury, Covent garden, dealer, stated that on the sth of Nor. last the prisoner brought a paper to him accompanied with some patterns ; the paper purported to he an order, and he said he brought it from Mr. William Reading, et Marti. mer•street. Witness could hardly make out the writing, and the prisoner read it. The prisoner said he sow Mr. Reading . write it. Witness said he had never seen him at Mr. Reading's house, but the prisoner replied that he had seen witness there several times, and that he had been in Mr. Reading's service six weeks, and was articled to him. Witness cut the cloth off accordine to the order, and the prisoner went away. Witness had never since seen the cloth. The prisoner was apprehended on the 5 h Dec. The order was for five and a half yards of blue cloth. Mr. Reading deposed that the order was never written by him. The prisoner was an entire stringer to him. Jones, a policeman, stated that he apprehended th e prisoner on the sth of December in Portland-place ; the prisoner then gave the name of George Thom a s ; h, denied knowing any thing belonging to Mr. Mines. o n the way to the station-house he admitted that his name was Ross Carney. The prisoner denied that he was the person who pre sented the order to the prosecutor. The Jury found the prisoner Guilty. James Gayton, aged 30, was indicted for stealing a mare, cart. 801 , .5. of candies, and other articles, the pro perty of John Matrhews. The prosecutor stated that he lived at No. 41, Lo ng _ acre, and was a tallow-chandler : on the 18th of January he sent his man, Joseph Hawkins, out with his mare and cart, and some goods in a box and basket; among which were SOlbs. of candles, 31bs. of rushlights and some sealing wax. About twelve o'clock the same night the snare and cart were brought home to him ; the candles and sealing wax alone were missing. The prisoner was a stranger to him : the mare, cart, and the goods, were altogether worth about 221 l Os. Joseph Hawkins, the prosecutor's servant, stated on the morning of the 18th of January he took out the mare and cart, with some goods to deliver 1R different parts of the town ; he got as far as Allhallows-lane, Thames street, where he had to stop and deliver a box of candles at a customer's, leav;ng the cart at the top of the lane ; on returning the mare and cart were gone. About twelve o'clock at night he saw the mare and cart, an I the fol lowing day he saw the goods at a house in Kingstand road. The horse and cart were missed at six o'clock in the evening. Cross examined by Mr. CLARKSON—CouId not swear that the candles found in Kingstand-road were the same as were stolen. Bro vn, a policeman, stated that on the ISth of January, at ten o'clock at night, he saw a horse and cart at the door of the Lamb public-house, Kingsland road ; the prosecutor's name and address were on the cart. He did not see the prisoner there at that time. After some inquiry at the public-house, and finding no one who owned it, he took the mare and cart home to Mr. Matthews. s tated Wm. Hatfield, of Worship-street Police-office, that on Thursday, Jan. 19, he went with a search -warrant to the prisoner's house, in Kingsland-road ; the p risoner was not at home. The prisoner kept the house, which was a chandler's shop. He went to a bed room, u p stairs, in company with the pro s ecutor, and there found a basket with a quanti'y ut candles in it. The prosecutor identi fied them as his property. Ther e were only about twel v e or fourteen pounds of c andles. H e did not see the. prisoner until the Tth or Bth of Febru a y, though he had often looked for him. The priscner kept out of the way all that time, and was at last taken by another officer. Cross-examined—The basliet was not claimed by the prosecutor. The prosecutor stated the c Indies produced were now tied up in a different paper from that in which he sent them out. He idetitiCed them by their corresponding with an order which he had a nt out to a particular customer on the day in question. Besides that there was a mark at the bottom of the candles, he could not swear pais Lively to them.

There was nothing in the box. Hawkins on being recalled, swore that the box was the one that was left in the cart when he missed it. There had been a quantity of candles in it. Cross-examined—There was no name or initials on th box, but he identified it by a mark on the lid. Thomas Vann, an officer, also searched the prisoner's house, and found a small box with a quantity of candles in it wrapped up, which were identified by the prosecutor. James Izod, a policeman, apprehended the prisoner on the Bth of February, at Fitzroy Chapel, near Tottenham court road, upon some other charge. The prisoner declined saying any thing in his defence. It was proved that the prisoner had hitherto borne a good character ; that his wife managed his shop, and he was in the habit of being absent from home for a consider able period at a time. James Lovell, a lace-maker, stated that on the 4th or sth of January he was at the prisoner's house, and saw the large candle-box which the prosecutor swore to have lost on the 18th of that month. Thomas Webb stated that he knew the prisoner; he re collected the 18th Jan., because it was his birth-day. He sw o re that on that day, from about four o'clock until near ten a' night, he was in the prisoner's company at the Red Cross, in Barbican. John Avan, a friend of the last witness, but a stranger to the prisoner, was in their company at the Red Cross, in Barbican, from about four to ten on the night of the 18th of January. The Jury immediately acquitted the prisoner. Several persons in the gallery immediately commenced clapping their hands, but were highly reproved by the Re corder, who threateaed to commit any persons guilty of such an impropriety. THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. There were good supplies of Wheat and Barley last week, but moderate of all other Grain. Of Flow - , the quantity was not considerable. This morning there is not much Corn of any kind fresh up. Good samples of Wheat support their former quotations; other sorts are extremely dull. Fine samples of malting Barley have sold with pretty tolerable readiness, at the prices obtained last week, but the middling qualities continue extremely dull. Beans remain at former prices. Pease of both kinds continue very dull on sale at last quotations. There is more life in the Oat trade than of late, and good parcels have obtained Is. per quarter advance on the terms of this day sennight. Flour continues in a very dull state at former prices.

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK. A Jamaica mail has arrived this morning, sailed 7th of January, by which Jamaica Papers have been received at , he North and South Amerir C e-house to the 7th of January. (From the famoica Courant of the 6th Jan.) The arrival of the post yesterday was looked for with anxiety, which may be well imagined, by those who have friends in the disturbed di-tricts on the North side, and we egret to state that its arrival only added to the general Bloom. The accounts we have extracted from the Cornwall Courier are sufficiently heart-rending, but the private ac counts are still more so—the once fertile, rich, and beauti ful parish of St. James's, is now one scene of ruin and de vastation. (EXTRACT OF VARIOUS LETTERS. MONTEGO BAY, JAN. 3. DEAR must he brief. By sentence of court martial, eight men and three women have been found guilty—the men immediately shot—the women imprisoned. About one hundred men have been destroyed—prisoners pour in from all quarters, and many executions must take place; about thirty sugar estates, all the fine residences on the chain of hills which divide St. James's from Westmoreland, and every wharf between this and Round Hill, are destroyed !!! The result is ruin to hundreds. and we are constantly in great peril. (ANOTHER LETTER.) I hasten to reply to your letter ; I am now on military duty, the fires have been chiefly confined to St. James's, where nineteen estates have been burnt to the ground; 200 of the insurgents have been killed. (ANOTHER LETTER.) I am on duty on the mountains, and every thing fore bodes a determination on the part of the negroes ; we have killed about 100 ; one of the negroes cut at me and I cut off his head; I am just returning to the mountains with four waggon loads of provisions for the King's troops. Morinzoo BAY, JAN. 2.—Every evening a fire signal has been made by burning some conspicuous settlement, which has been answered by burning the property in the neighbourhood, and if my information is correct, which 1 believe it is, very few of the remaining crops are left to be taken off. The destruction in the upper part of Hanover has also been very great. The manner in which the re bellion has been conducted affords abund ant proof that i , has been done by individuals pos-essing much more knowledge than negroes; that the sectarians, especially the Baptists, are its principal cause, as it is known that the ring leaders on every estate have been Baptists. A* yet the 1091 of lives on our part is very trifling; but ihe rebels have met on every point with loss. Almost all the female part of this community are on board the vessels in the harbour. Three Baptist missionaries have been forwarded to head-quaters at Montego Bay, where a military tribunal is sitting. and five rebels have been tried and shot. The whole of the elevated settlements in the neighbourhood of Maroon Town, and on the hills round Montego Bay, have been from night to night set on fire. (From the Bulletin of the St. Jayo Gazette.) Trelawny and St. James's dispatches were received yes terday evening at the King's House, from Major-General Sir Willoughby Cotton, dated Tuesday evening last, bringing the intelligence of the capture of numerous prisoners, seve ral of whom have been tried and shot. The rebels appeal to have taken to the interior and the commanding heights, and have communicated with the negroes by means of signals. The troopers bearing despatches have been fired at. Despatches were this morning received from Sir Wil loughby Cotton, dated ten o'clock, a. m., Jan. 4. stating that the negroes had collected between Montego Bay lino Maroon Town. His corps, and the whole of the 33 ii under Captain Galloway, had been ordered to Montpelier and a large detachment of men had been sent to occupy Maroon Town. The Maroons under Captain Hilton had been directed to occupy Belltint and Duckett's Spring. N. burning had taken place after the night of the 341, but tl.e negroes were entirely off from all the properties destroyed. Montreal Papers to the 18th of January, Quebec to . . the 13th, and Port-au-Prince to the 26th of December, have been received at the North and South American Coffee-house. The Legislature of Prince Edward's Island is sum moned to meet on the Bth instant. The weather on the Nova Scotia coast, as well as that of New England and the States generally, has been ver% cold. The ports of Pictou and Charlotte Town were closed early in December. The accounts from Vera Cruz, of the sth of January, state that General Santa Anna had arrived in that cit.) amidst the shouts of the people for the Constitution and their independence, and that Vera Cruz presented a scene worthy of the best days of Athens and Rome. Some disturbances have taken place in the State of I Jalisco The Port-au-Prince Papers state that the port of Saint Mirk is to be open for foreign commerce until the 31st o December, 1833. THE FUNDS. The estafette from Paris has brought the French Rentes 66f. 45c., owing to the expectation that peace will be maintained. Our Funds opened at the sune price they left off at o Saturday, 8248 for the account, with little doing as yet. HALF-PAST ONE. The accounts from Brussels, of the 16th of February. state that the Belgian army is going to be reinforced with three thousand infantry and six hundred cavalry. The Government sent off last night three couriers—one for London, one for Paris, and the third for the French army of the North. Letters have been received from Rio Janeiro fourteen days liter than the last accounts. All was tranquil there. Exchange 2261; Stocks 44; business very dull. The private 1-tiers received by the mail from Jamaica represent the accounts by far more gloomy than the public journals, the loss being immense by the fires of the negroes. By the French Papers this morning, we perceive that the French Government are taking measures agaiust the cholera morbus. Consols at present 82H, Pare• a bargain doiag.

Medics Superintendents of the Metropolitan Districts for their guidance, with a view to the more effectual relief of those who may he attacked by cholera. Central Board of Health, Council Office, Feb. 14 . SIR.—I am directed by the Central Board of He MI to inform you that your attention, as Medical Superin tendent in this metropolis, ought, in the first instance, to be especially applied to the following principal heads of sanitary preparations :- Ist. The immediate formation of efficient Local Board* of Health. 2d. The establishment of Cholera Hospitals. 3d. The establishment of Cholera Dispensary Stations, at which the poorer Classes may receive Medicine and Medical Advice gratuitously at all hours. 4th. The Inspection of Prisons, Poor-houses, and other such Buildings, where many Persons are congre gregated. sth. The Burial of the Dead. _''! 9 i IST HEAD. The composition and the more important duties of Local Boards hive been already pointed out by the circu lars of the 14th Novein.ier and 13th December, IS3I. You will, therefore, request that these circulars, and all other sanitary documents issued by this 8.,ar.1, may be read at the Local Board of your district, of which it is desirable that you should be a member. You will at the same time give such information as to sanitary arrange ments and general treatment of the disease as your own experience may suggest. 2D HEAD. In the construction of Temporary Hospitals the following essential particulars should be most carefully attended to: The building should, if possible, be made to contain four distinct wards at least ; two for each sex. One of the wards for the patients of each s ex in the cold stage, the temperature of which ghoul. never be lower than 70 deg. Fahrenheit; and one for those of e i ch sex in the stage of re-action, the temperature of which need not exceed 60 deg. of Fahrenheit. Comfortable straw or chaff beds, with an extra allow ance of blankets. An interval of three feet at L ast .hould I e allowed between each two beds, an/ no bed ca oahle of containing more than one adult should be ad mitted. Fire-places or stoves.—Bags to hold hot bran, *lnd, ashes, cern, or salt.—Two or 'tore hot air bed•.-- de dical attendants, especi illy a house surgeon, to reside on the spot.—A sufficient supply of medicines. One or more covered litters, in which the sick may be conveyed to the hospital in a horizontal posture. A ship's cot with two shifting poles forms the best litter for this iurpose. A suitatde number of able-bodied men always eady to attend with the litters. Two or more steady limewashers to be employed in pu rifying the apartments from which the sick nay have been removed. Suitable means for ventilating and purifying the hospital itself, as well as the bedding and clothes i.f the sick. Long flannel shirts, with wide sleeves, and flans-1 night .aps, to be put on the patients when first taken into hos pital. Fresh and clean dresses for the convalescents, and, if possible, separate rooms for their accommodation. One or more warm baths, fur the purposes of cl-anlice , s. A kitchen, a wash•bouse, a surgery, a dead-house. It is suggested that the number of attendants upon the sick in each ward i❑ the hospital ought not to be. in the first instance, less than one attendant to five sick. 3D lIEAD.-DISPEN , A RY STATIONS. The number of Dispensaries already existing in each district should be immediately ascertained, as also whether and upon what terms their managing Committees would approve of their being converted into temporary chirl , ra .lispensary stations ; and whether it might be found prac ricable to establish, in conjunction with the district anti o cities, branch dispensaries, dependent upon the of ler esta blishments of that nature ; also whether it might not be idvisahve to arrange with one or more respectable chemists to prepare, at a certain rate, the prescriptions of the local physicians and surgeons for the poorer classes of their neighbourhood. Parishes and benevolent societies ought to b. encouraged to establish soup kitchens, to distribute clothing, coals &c. to the indigent working classes. 4TH it EA RISONS, POOR.. HOUSES, 84C. You will, upon obtaining permission from flys proper authorities, mo , t carefully examine into the distribution, icconimodation, and general arrangement, in a saint try point of view, of the inmates of such buildings in your district. You will note their actual state of health, and the nature of the diseases which may happen to prevail amongst them ; and as those under restraint, when ex dosed to infection, are more liable than others to contract disease, you will recommend that intercourse with visitors .hould be placed under such regulations as may be judoed 'test calculated to prevent the introduction of infection from without. A room should be kept apart in all such building., in order that any who present even the slightest symptota.s of the disease may be immediately separated from the healthy. In these and all other communities the inns• partienlat at tention should he paid to bowel complaints of every kind. STH HEAH.-THE BURYING OF THE DEAD. When the usual burying-grounds may not be considered ufficiently extensive, a suitable situ tion should be pro cured as soon as possible for the convenient inter mint of those who may happen to die of cholera. It should be particularly impressed on the minds of the local authori ties, that during tie presence of cholera in their distt icts the bodies of those who have died of that di..ieasesllool.l on no account be carried into the churches. Such bodies should, without !Aug washed, be wrapt in the clots es in which they may have died, and d. posited as soon a+ pos sible in a well-fastened coffin, carefully hitched within. A sufficient supply of pitch and tar for this purpose, as well as materials and implements for lime-was inc and fumigating, should be kept in readiness at all cholera hos pitals and cholera dispensary stations. You will reside within the limits of your district, and report daily to the Central Board all impoitaut occur rence• eanAectcd with the duties here pointed out. Sahnuld the hiundary line of your district divide a pa riah, the med.cil superintendent* of the whole p v i-h will be considered as belonging to the district in which the vest , y of such palish holds its to etings, You will tr-insmit to this 11 rani accurate daily returns front ths medical gentlemen of your district of all cases of ..borera in their charge, according to the form alleady given t you. You will idler your own su!gestions, founded upon the local knowledge you may have acqiiiied. and you will re ceive the final instructions of the Central B .ard as to the I best means of eff , cting the objects to which pap attention is now or may be heteafter directed. As soon as the local at raneements as to Chet'era Hospi tals and Dispensary Cholera S,ationa are completed. you will suggest that such notice be given, by means of h nd till's And advertisements, a.. will direct those attacked by the disease where to apply for relief, But it is not the wish of the Central Board that you sho Std interline with the local practitioners in the treatment c f th,ir patients, unless requested by them to give your advice. You will unreservedly conanunicate with and receive instructions from any of the Members of the Cintra , Board wko may have occasion to nt ,ke it quiries in the district under your superintendence. 1 have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, To (Signed) W.
