OGLE and SUMMERS' STEAM CARRIAGE. hearing that the cokes were bad, most kindly sent us some of a quality so superior, that on leaving Trentham, the adjacent and lofty hills were ascended with such rapidity, that well-mounted horsemen could not keep pace without distressing their ani mals. Mr. Cork, a coach proprietor, timed the vehicle, and found that two miles, nearly all up hill, were cleared in six minutes and a half. The dif ference in speed arising from the quality of the fuel was now apparent ; and the coachmen on the roof, sent expressly by the coach proprietors to report our progress, gave up all doubt, and loudly ex.. pressed their astonishment. At Newcastle we ob tained a good strap for the blower, and accompanied by Mr. Witty arid his son, the distinguished engi neers, proceeded. ness from a note-case the other forged .5/. note nos also produced. The prisoner accounted for his pos session of the notes by saying that he received them in a (public-house in Wych-street, from two men, named Henry Law and John Hall, who wished him to get them changed. Witness asked him the sign of the house, but he said he did not know it, and added, that he was not aware the notes were forged. Witness then called in a police-constable, to whom he handed the notes, and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner was fully committed for trial, on the charge of uttering the note to Mr. Simpson, knowing it to be forged; and he was further ordered to be de tained for having the other note in his possession with a like guilty kuowledge. It was stated that the crime of forging bank-notes has increasedof late to a very great extent. The notes found in the prisoner's possession are very clumsily executed, and capable of being discovered as forgeries at a single glance. price of an article of the same quality was 1/. 10s., and refused to take the money, insisting on having the trousers returned to him immediately. To his utter surprise they then told him that his deposit had been disposed of for the sum they had beet, valued at, which he might receive or not. Feeling convinced that such a proceeding was contrary to the title which the establishment assumed to itself, he left the place, resolved to proceed further in the matter.

The vehicle containing water, coke, tools, luggage, and twenty-five persons, left the village of Milbrook, two miles from Southampton, on the 13th of Au gust, and proceeded to Winchester ; the road is known to be very hilly, and in parts soft—the distance of fourteen miles was cleared in one hour and ten minutes, while steam was so abun dant it was blowing away the whole time. It was on this part of the road observed, from the steepness of the hills, that the method of retarding the carriage in going down was not sufficient. The journey Was, however, prosecuted towards Oxford, through Whitchurch, a cross road, so hilly that the best horsed coaches can only clear eight miles an hour. The steam vehicle easily cleared twelve and a half—the delay on the road in no instance being occasioned by the slightest failure in the machinery, or by want of firmness in the general structure. At the summit of a steep hill the drag (then used) was displaced, and the vehicle run amain, and actually passed over one mile in one minute and ten seconds. We are not aware that the slightest injury ensued from so severe a trial. In another instance, the car riage was necessarily driven through a river. On the vehicle reaching Oxford it was determined to add a more powerful break. There, on examining the crank axle, it was found defective. Subsequent inspection showed that the man who had forged it at Messrs. Teffrys and Haseldens had concealed three cold-shuts and other faults. While we deeply deplored the necessary delay, we could only be thankful that the axle had not been broken when rushing down the steep declivity. It was the only piece of the machinery not made by our. selves. Mr. Summers immediately proceeded with the axle to Bristol, a distance, by the way of Mil brook, which he went, of one hundred and twenty miles. It required more than a fortnight to com plete and convey to Oxford the new axle. While there, some trifling things were done, a pump was added to save the labour of handing water to the 'tank. The spring; of du. o.rriage hotly were strengthened. The boiler was perfectly tight and fully answered our expectations. As soon as the axle had been replaced, we proceeded towards Bir mingham, and cleared the first stage at Woodstock, through a very sticky, clammy road, in thirty-eight minutes. On this stage, we tried some experiments relative to our waste steam, which we think may hereafter be partially used to heat the supply of water. On leaving Woodstock, the attendants reported the proper quantity of water to be in the boiler, but to our mortification we dis covered in less than five minutes that they had in some inexplicable manner been in error; and to complete the misfortune the communication be tween the tank and the pump had been as unac countably closed, and the boiler was found without water, and red hot. Every precautionary measure was :nstantly adopted, and the boilers allowed to cool gradually. After a delay of three hours water was again injected, but to our great annoyance, we found that two portions of our boiler were injured. Its great power, however, enabled us to reach, though with rather diminished speed, Chapel-house, where we remained and again examined the boiler. On the following morning we proceeded towards Birmingham, and notwithstanding the misfortune which had happened to us, the steep hills, well known on the road, were ascended with faci lity ; that of Liveridge, nearly a mile long, at eight miles an hour, and our break, on descend ing, was found efficient. A clutch of one of the wheels was dropped on the road, so that we were compelled, when ascending the steepest hills, to work with only one wheel, a very serious disad vantage, when the ascent is considerable. On reach-1 ing Birmingham, it being dark, and the fog very dense, our lamps were lighted, and we passed with out the least difficulty the various coaches on the road towards London, and with scarcely any fire, and no coke, for it was all consumed, and one wheel only in gear, we forced, with rapidity, our way through long-continued masses of heavy gravel and broken granite just laid down, up the steep ascent, called the Bull-ring, to the Church, without one check. There one wheel, and little steam, were found hardly sufficient to propel so heavy a body up so great and so rough an ascent. The ar tisans of Birmingham, who now formed a dense crowd, saw the cause of the difficulty, ar►d instantly applied the little additional power which was requi site, and the vehicle reached its destination. Bu siness, and a wish to see the various manufactories there, at Stourbiidge and Shut End, &e., (where Mr. Rastrick's excellent locomotive engine is at work, and his useful and scientific hydraulic lift,) in duced us to remain a fortnight. On our leaving Birmingham, the portion of the boiler which had been injured, still leaked. Our blowing strap proved rotten, and, to crown our vexation, it was found that the connection between the tank and pump was closed, and we were compelled to stop close to Soho, the factory of Messrs. Watt and Bol ton, who neither rendered, nor offered to render us the least assistance, being the solitary in stance we encountered, in a journey of 200 miles, of sordid illiberality. On examining the cause of the stoppage in the pipe, we found that some one had fitted in, very neatly, a piece of wood fitted into the cock, which acted as a plug. We do not envy the feelings of the malicious person who could per petrate such a crime against those who had not given him any offence. After the discovery and re moval of the cause, the vehicle proceeded to Wol verhampton, and then to Penkridge, in Staffordshire. From the badness of the fuel, the leak in the boiler, &c., the only real defect which has happened to any of the machinery, this part of the journey was per formed in an unsatisfactory manner. The defect alluded to, was the loosening of one of the piston rods, from the key not having been accurately fitted. The three last miles into Penkridge were performed with only one engine ! At Penkridge a new key was put into the piston, and one portion of the boiler cut out and left behind! This occupied several days. We then proceeded to Trentham Inn. On the fol lowing morning, the agent to the Marquis of Stafford Perhaps the greatest speed attained by any vehicle was between Kriut.ford arid Hoo Green. The road is good, and may be termed a fair give and take piece of ground. The distance is three miles and a half. The ground was passed over in seven minutes. On leaving Hoo Green our fuel was found of an in ferior quality. The few bags so liberally pro mised by the directors of the railway were ac cidentally changed for cokes which were rejected as unfit for their use, and consequently our pro gress was retarded, though, at times, considerable speed was obtained on adding a little coal to the fuel. We had been kindly warned arid most judiciously instructed how to proceed, by Mr. Bretherton's brother-in-law and the guard of the mail, on reach ing the embankment at Bold-heath. Many were the bets that we could not surmount and cross this soft, shaking, new and high embankment. Many scientific men deemed it as the last and only test required to prove to the satisfaction of the most sceptical the prodigious power possessed by us. With a full charge of water, several bags of coke, much luggage, and five persons (the rest of the party had got down to witness the trial and lighten the carriage) the vehicle majestically and steadily as cended the shaking and waving fabric at full ten miles an hour. Not a voice was heard, even the numerous workmen belonging to the St. Helen's railway stood in anxious expectation, but no sooner was the summit gained than a simultaneous shout burst from all the spectators, and the coach with accelerated speed regained the solid ground. Du ring the whole distance the power was evident ; for steam even at the steepest point of ascent was blow ing off at both the valves, and when we stopped, we were compelled to open the fire-doors and shut the damper while the party resumed their seats. It must be r emembered that this great feat was achieved with a portion of the boiler cut out and left on the road; with one other portion injured, and narrow wheels. To have verged six inches on either side would have entailed certain destruction, and though the shaking mass screwed, as it were, the vehicle to the left, so completely under command is the steering, that she was guided truly in the track. With the exception of the two portions of the boiler injured, there is riot the remotest appear ance of the slightest leak. Rushing down a flinty hill at fifty miles an hour has not started it one hair's breadth, the rattling over various pavements, even after the boiler was red hot, has not produced the least effect. Every joint is perfectly tight, which, considering the vibration, arid the pressure of 200ibs. on the square inch, may be deemed the acquisition of an important point. The furnace has suffered slightly, but not so much as might have been expected, considering that it is made of thin sheet iron. The substitution of meehanient Gs. ror Lne purposes ot pubic transit can no longer be a question. Perhaps among the improvements to which it may lead, are the partial levelling of the hills, making the roads hard and sound; and where the traffic is great and the speed required upwards of fifteen miles an hour, a train will be laid down of hard stone, each about three feet long, one and a half broad and deep; on which not only steam, but other vehicles will run. This is contemplated be tween Manchester and Liverpool, which would pro bably return a considerable portion of the traffic and personal transit from the railway to the common road. It may be a question—and a serious one-- with the public, after our experiment, how far the railways proposed are advisable—either as a mean of transit or an investment of capital. N. 0. and W. A. S. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. G UILDHALL. Mr. Wooler, one of the clerks in Mr. Harmer's office, attended before Aldermen KELLY and VE NABLES yesterday, to answer the complaint of Wil liam Adamson, for assaulting him and obstructing him in the execution of his duty as one of the me tropolitan police inspectors, at the New Inn, in the Old Bailey, on the 13th of September last. The particulars of this affair have been repeatedly brought under the public eye in our Bow -street re ports. A man named Nicholas Wood (who was waiting with others to give evidence in behalf of a prisoner named Jephson, then about to be tried at the Sessions) was apprehended by Adamson on tf eh re suspicioned prisoner, je f ,r, b p u; Ds l h a oi r; and Adamson now deposed that on searching the prisoner Mr. Wooler inter cgoimveplayionuarn t praospideer,tystaoid thatto fellow; give it to me ;" and in consequence of this interruption, complainant did not obtain possession of a silk handkerchief, which he suspected had been stolen. Mr. Wooler said Wood was attending in favour of Jephson, and when Adamson apprehended him, he asked him to allow him to remain till he had given his evidence. Adamson refused to do so, and he then said, " Let me have the property." On raking possession of the notes, he gave Adamson the numbers. He denied that he had touched him, although he was disconcerted at a m3terial witness in favour of Jephson being thus taken away. Mr. Alderman KELLY thought Mr. Wooler wou'd not have interfered if the case had been an ordinary one, and, under the circumstances, his conduct was perhaps excusable. . . Mr. Alderman VENABLES thought they should not decide on the matter in question, but leave the Police Commissioners, if they considered it right to take further proceedings, at liberty to indict Mr. Wooler. Mr. Wooler said he should be ready to meet the charge. Tile MAGISTRATES, in dismissing the complaint,re peated that Mr. \Vooler remained open to an indict ment, and Adamson said he had no doubt the Com missioners would indict him. BOIV-STREET. - - --- • Yesterday, a young man, named Alexander Ed• ward Walker Hay, was brought before Sir F. RoE for anal examination, charged with feloniously ut tering a forged .5/. bank-note, purporting to be a note of the Governor and Compitny of the Bank of England, well knowing the same to be forged, with intent to cheat and defraud that establishment. Mr. Henry Simpson, hosier, of No. 12, New street, Covent-g ar d en , proved, that on the evening of Monday, the Ist inst., the prisoner came into his ,hop, and selected articles of the value of 12s. 6d., for which he tendered in payment the bank-note for Si. now produced.

The prisoner then requested to go into a back p ar l our, and he there ht t_ded to Wit- Yesterday, a child just turned six years of age. was brought before Messrs. WHITE and MARRIOTT, by a constable of the L division, on the following charge : On Friday evening last the constable found the boy in Blackfriars road, surrounded by a number of people, to whom he was detailing a most piteous story of distress, and exciting their charity. The constable questioned him, when he said his name was John Jones, and that both his father and mo ther had left him, and gone into the country ; where they had lived he could give no account. The con stable, seeing a child of such tender years destitute in the streets, took him to the station-house, and from there he was taken to Christchurch workhouse, where he was taken care of for the night. The boy was strictly examined by the master of the work house on the following morning, when, after some inquiry, it was found that every word he had uttered was a gross falsehood, and with some difficulty and trouble the abode of his father and mother were discovered, from whom it appeared he had run away. The father 110VV stepped forward and said, that his name was Thorogood. The boy was of that disposition that he could do nothing with him ; he had kept him confined, but the moment he let him out and sent him to school, he ran away from him. Within the last six months he run away seven times, and had been taken to different workhouses by the police, when he always told the most extraordinary lies. Sometimes he would get with the chimney sweepers, and he had a great propensity to begging. He wished the Magistrate to punish him in some way, as he himself had tried every method to re claim him. The master of the workhouse said that the boy, for his years, was one of the most extraordinary children he ever met with. He had no sooner told one lie, and been found out, than he hatched ano ther in an instant, and told it with such an air of sincerity that any person would believe him. Mr. WHITE asked the father what his business was, and where he came from ?—Thorogood was a shoemaker, and lived at No. 5, New Tothill-street. Mr. WHITE—What part of the country do you come from ? Thorogood—From Wisbeach in Cam bridgeshire. Mr. WHITE—Then you see you have set your son the example of a vagabond. Thorogood—How so, Sir ? Mr. WHITE—Why, by coming to the parish ; why did you not st a y at Wisbeach, w u here i vim Ct work; I could not support my wife and seven children in the country. The master of the workhouse had made inquiries about the father of the boy, and found him to be an industrious man, and of good character. Mr. WHITE could do nothing with the bov ; the overseers were present, and if the father would pay them .ss. per week, they would take care of him. Thorogood said that was impossible; it was as much as he could possibly do to keep his family from starving. Mr. WHITE told him that lie must take the boy home with him. Thorogood accordingly took the boy, but said tht►t he was positive he would run away the very first opportunity. LAMBETH-STREET. Yesterday Matthew Kennon, a sugar-baker, was brought before Messrs. HARDWICK and WALKER, charged with wilfully and maliciously breaking some young trees in the enclosure belonging to the Mari uer's Church, in Wellclose-square.—The prisoner was convicted in the penalty of .5/., or two months' imprisonment. A fortnight since another person was convicted at this office for destroying 23 trees in the same place. William Watson and John Slevin, two Irish tai lors, were charged with violently assaulting Dennis Sullivan. The complainant, on Saturday night, while on his way home, accidentally met the prisoners, who, without the slightest provocation, knocked him down, and while on the ground kicked him violently. A witness corroborated this statement. Slevin, in defence, had been out to market with his wife on Saturday night, and on their return home he had occasion to leave his wife for a few minutes, when the complainant, during his tempo rary absence, came up, made love to his wife, and wanted to seduce her. This naturally exasperated him, and he gave him the hand and foot in the Irish fashion, and upset him. Watson was standing quite peaceably, when the complainant, as he supposed, mistaking him for Slevin, struck him, and they had a fair fight. Mrs. Slevin was called as a witness, and corro borated the statement of her husband, as to the com plainant's attempt to seduce her ; she added, that it was not the first attempt he had made on her chastity. The complainant denied the accusation as to the seduction, and said it was a got-up affair. The prisoners were convicted in the sum of 10s. each, or 14 days' imprisonment. HATTON-GARDEN- A young man, who said his name was Monk, at tended at this office yesterday to ask the advice of the Magistrate how he should proceed under the fol• lowing circumstances:—He stated, that having heard a great deal about the Central Equitable Labour Exchange, and that it was calculated to improve the condition of the working class of society, he made it his business to inquire into its principle and object. Having som e l e i sure t i me, h e d eterm i ne d on ma ki ng a trial, for which purpose he purchased a quantity of superfine cloth, and made up a pair of trousers to his own measure, with a view of wearing them himself in case he could not come to satisfactory terms with the institution. He completed the garment in a workmanlik e style, and carried the same to the Exchange Bank, in Red Lion-square, where he had an interview with the agent, who desired him to leave the article until the following day, to be valued according to the rules of the establishment. He acordingly left them, after receiving a document (of which the following is a copy) as a security for their being returned to him : " Central Labour Exchange Bank, Red Lion-square. " Received into the store, from Mr. Monk, one pair of trousers, this sth day of October, IB32.—Marked 1,701. " JAMES OLIVER, Store keeper. " Applicant called on the following day, and on in quiring about the property, he was informed that it had been valued at 1/. He conceived that the party that he w as ser i ous, h e f e l t surpr i se d, and expressed Was joking with him, but on being assured his indignation at being offered 1/., when the lowest THAMES POLICE-OFFICE. Yesterday, Daniel Hurley, James MDwyer, and Michael Connolly, Irish coal-whippers, and John Joycey, a master shoemaker and shopkeeper, were brought before Mr. BRODERIP, for final exami nation, charged with riotously and tumultuously as sembling with others, in Shadwell.-market, on the night of Friday, the 28th of September,and assault ing and beating John Lucock and John Hill, with intent to murder them. One of the wounded men (Hill) has been confined in the hospital ever since the affray, and was now brought from thence in a chair, to give evidence. He was a fine tall young man, but, in consequence of the dreadful injuries he received, presented a frightful spectacle, every part of his person having been either kicked or trampled upon. He appeared in a weak state, and to be suffering great pain. Lucock also presented marks of severe blows, and his face and head were still covered with cuts and bruiser. It appeared that the complainants, with several other Englishmen, had become exceedingly unpopu lar with the great body of coal-whippers, princi pally Irishmen, for having, during some former disturbances, delivered the colliers at five farthings per ton, though latterly they have worked for and obtained the full price—three-halfpence. In con sequence of this, the Englishmen had been re peatedly attacked and nearly murdered by the Irish men, for which more than 50 of them had been fined .5/. each—a sum which has invariably been col lected by subscription. On the night named, it was resolved by a party of Irishmen to attack Cope, the baskettean of a gang of men to which the complai nants belonged, in revenge for the evidence the for mer gave against two of the prisoners' companions who had assaulted him, and also for having worked under price. About 9 o'clock the Irish coal whippers repaired to the Three Compasses public house, in Shadwell-market, where Hurley, who acted as ringleader, called out, " Turn out the five farthing —, we mean to have blood for supper to night.' Conolly and some others then drag ged Lucock, an aged man, one of Cope's party, out of the tap-room, and he had no sooner reached the street than the prisoners knocked him down. Cope managed . again ti CE iiiVontiolly, who called out, " Come on," and the Irishmen then, with horrid impreca tions, threw him down, and kicked and trampled upon him in a most brutal manner, until he was quite senseless. While this was going on, Hill had left the Three Compasses, and was met by Hurley at the door, who called our, " Jack Hill, you five farthing rascal, we mean to have your life." Hill asked what for, and was told he had worked a ship for five farthings. He said he had not, and walked on, but had not proceeded many yards before Hurley gave some signal in Irish, and Hill was knocked down by a tremendous blew on the neck. He was dragged up the hill, at the top of which he was kicked and jumped upon from head to foot, until he was reduced to a state of insensibility. He spoke particularly to two men named Higgins and Clarke, who have fled to Ireland, and to the pri soner-M‘Dwyer, as having jumped upon his sto mach, and said that he had received a kick on the lower part of the abdomen, which he should never get the better of. Dr. Arthur, the surgeon who attended him, was shocked at the sight of his muti lated body, and it was a long time before he reco vered his senses. Others belonging to Cope's party were roughly handled, and but for the inter ference of the police would no doubt have been murdered. Hurley, who is an old man, and was proved to be the most active in the outrage, repeatedly laughed, and behaved with great levity. Mr. BRODERIP said the prisoner Hurley was the most atrocious old ruffian he had ever met with. Mr. Thomas Deen, landlord of the Three Com passes, said that Hurley, on the night of the affray, said he would burn his house down for serving the five-farthing men with beer, and swore he would rip his guts open and make garters of them. At that time he saw Joyccy exciting the Irish coal-whippers. Witness's life had been repeatedly threatened, and he had lately received the following let . er, which was read by Mr. Broderip : " Mr. Deen, I have to inform you i ham comeing to pay you a visit has soon as convenient, it will not be long for you a set of Dam Rascals wants my company. You, Mr. Cope, and Miller (a witness) will not forget you some evening. I think a hand Grenade or two among you that xvill send the whole of you to hell, would be of service when you are in company. lam 'my in St. Giles. lam eotneing your way. I have left the Sister Isle with good intent to come to see some of you. I have done a many good things, and I will not forget you. " Captain ROCK and SWING." Mr. BRODERIP desired the witness to be under no fear. That murder was intended he had no doubt, and he called on all the prisoners to find bail, them selves in 400/., and two sureties of 1001. each, to appear and take their trial at the sessions for the riot and assault. The prisoners, in consequence of a large number of coal-whippers having assembled, were instantly removed under an escort to prison, as a rescue was talked of. UNION-HALL. Yesterday Lieutenant Mortimer, of the 15th Hussars, was charged with being the reputed father of an illegitimate child, born in and now charge able to the parish of Bermondsey. Jane Head, a tall ruddy-complexioned stout young woman, stated the defendant to be the father of her child, and that it was born in Bermondsey work house on the 20th of last August. When asked where the connection took place between her and the defendant, she replied that it was at her father',, house, in the parish of Lingfield, Surrey, about the 14th of November, upon which occasion he came down in a gig, and slept there that night. In reply to defendant's solicitor, she said that she did not remain with him all night, that she was in the bed room with him about ten minutes, and had never seen him since that occasion. She was confident that be was the father of her child, and he wore mustachios then, as he did now. She admitted that she had a bastard child before by a gentleman, and that it was now living with her father. Slit. added, that the father of her former child was a gentleman, as he did not disputa the matter like the defendant, who had equally as much right to sup- The defendant said that, independently of the evi dence given by his brother officer, the orderly-book of the regiment would at once show that he was not absent at the time she had asserted on oath that he was with her in Surrey. Mr. CHAMBERS was satisfied with the Ciptain'A evidence that the defendant was not the individual .rho was the father of the child. The woman Head had, in all probability, been on intimate term; with an officer of some other regiment, or probably a private, who wore mustachios, and she had selected Mr. Mortimer, imagining he was better able to sup port her offspring. Mr. Chambers added, that under all the circumstance, 're should make no order )n the defendant, and he was joined in this decision by Mr. Wedgwood. The Hague Journal of the 30th ult. speaks in the following contemptuous terms of the late ceremony a Brussels :—" Prince Leopold of Saxe-Cohurg has just seen distributing at Brussels monuments of shame, and .triking emblems of perjury and robbery, under the ap pellation of standards of honour. The city of Paris, iowever, disdained to send any person to receive that which was destined for it. Prince Leopold, during the •eretnony, conversed affectionately with the respectab'e General Mellinet and the honourable Majsr Kessels." The Pekin Gazelle employs two columns to •elebrate what it denominates a trait of heroism and rare •nagnanimity of the Princess Kars, ninth daughter of the present EMPEROR. According to the wish of the Em rcuos., she was to espouse the son of the grand officer of -he yellow banner of the body guards (consisting of per sons of the highest rank). Everything was prepared for :he ceremony, when LEEN CHE, the distinguished bride ;room, was carried off by death. The lady, in despair, ,tut off her hair, and determined to remain a virgin for 'ife ; and the EMPEROR, on being informed of her de- Trinination, decreed her a tablet of honour to be suspended t the door of her chamber, and a surname to celebrate her virtue. In scrubbing the bottom of the Donegal, at ~pithead, by the proce‘s of hogging her, on Saturday last, in immense substance was rubbed off, weighing 173113 , . It is nearly a solid cube of two feet, but of a nature difficult to be described—its gravity is about that of oak timber, odour white, and looks like chalky clay, very much honey combed; it readily pulverises between the fingers, but is lot calcareous, as it will not effervesce in acids. It is im trossible to say whether it is a mineral, a vegetable, or an .nimal production; but it is sent to the Naval and Mili ,ary Museum, and will doubtless be analyzed by able chy. nista.

ARBITRARY MEASURES WITH REGARD TO CHOLERA IN THE UNITED STATES.-It is curious to ob.. ,erve how frequently republican forms of uorrontecit, -o display the most arbitrary propensities. Among us here has been, on several occasions, an outcry against the tttempts of the government to carry into effect the mea gires requisite for acquiring accurate information as to the xtent of the present epidemic, and for staying its pro. cress, although the plans actually adopted have never been nore than the necessities of the case obviously pointed my. Our friends in America proceed in a much more sum mary manner; the most rigid returns are enforced, stating , lie name and residence of every patient, under heavy pe ialties ; and the power vested in the Boards of Health may to judged of from the resolutions of one of them, which low lies before us, in which any person who has been in a louse which a cholera patient has inhabited, and who .ball presume to enter the town of Hudson, shall be fined 100 dollars and imprisoned for three months. A pretty .trong measure this—we guess. The opinion that the lisease is contagious seems to be general, if not universal, in America.—Medical Gazette. BATH ELECTION. The opponents of 11r. ROEBUCK, in the utter hopelessness of their cause, tre reduced to the necessity of endeavouring to trump up L charge of infidelity against him. We approve of the ,atechising system, when confined to the only subject upon vhich a candidate can be expected to reply—politics; hut ye cannot conceive how any man, possessing the feelings if a gentleman, could, in a public meeting, stand up and .k any one what precise shade of religious belief he had olopted. If the situation of Minister to the parish were subject to popular election, and Mr. ROEBUCK had put airnself forward as a candidate for the office, his religious , ifinciples would become a fair subject of inquiry ; but as it would be highly inconsistent to make politics a conside ration in such a case, where religion was alone concerned, we submit that it is equally inconsistent to introduce sec tarian opinions upon religion, where nothing is required to be known but the political opinions of the candidate. rile two questions are perfectly distinct ; and no man that meant honestly by his countrymen would introduce so fruitful a source of division. The indignation of every one present should at once have silenced so invidious a •tuerist. Mr. ROEBUCK has, however, answered the ques. tion—he avows himself a Christian, and a member of the Established Church ; but, as he also avows himself a friend to Church Reform, and does not wish that Dissenters should be taxed to support his church, his opponents retort disingenuousness—seeming him a charge of disingenuousness—seemg ro think it utterly impossible that any man can be a true membec if the Establishment, unless be is for the Church as it is, .nd an inveterate stickler for her privilege of taxing other docks beside her own. The efficiency of Mr. ROEBUCK nay be very well estimated by the nothings which are •harged against him.—Bristol Mercury. On Friday, the 28th ult., after a short illness, Arnuam Woon, Esq., of Summer-hill grove, Northam. 'ierla.nd, died aged 64. In an age of improvement like the resent, it is a duty to mention and commemorate the ger. dices of those persons who, by their talents and exertions, iave conferred benefits on their fellow creatures. Such n individual was the late Mr. Woon, who in the earlier tart of his life devoted his abilities to the producing of an irticle called patent felt, an invention which has been lighly effectual in the preservation of ships, and in guard ng the life of the mariner. Residing of late years in the .iorth of England, where the blasting of coa; mines cast iccasionally a fearful loss of life, besides mutilations, and 'tiler circumstances of a deeply painful nature, it was his .ndeavour to try and avert those disastrous catastrophes ; 'nit property being more consulted than humanity, the dans, which had cost him both trouble and expense, were w e e r adopted; but still he hid the consolation of knowine. -hat his exertions had been so far beneficial, inasmuch that , ccidents are of a much rarer occurrence than formerly. .Vhen the awful disease of cholera broke out, true to his me great desire of being useful, he brought into notice Aid use small tin baths, which can be applied to various tarts of the body, and which have been found highly ser viceable in procuring a regular dry heat. Within the last zvvo years of his life he took out another patent for work iig coal, in a manner heretofore unknown. The princip'e tf it m i e s c q h u an it i e cs n , whenafford ewand it m is ay underst ood ncrease of power to an immense extent , without l e s s of hoe. It has been tried in the mines, and found to answer other that fie l ds i t for produces od u di s cover y s a n SO well, that the first experiment (to which much indul. h ence was to be granted) has fetched a considerable ad lance on the market. Its object is to save coal, and to end it to the market in a sound and uninjured state. It greatly to be regretted that Mr. WOOD bail not lived to .ee it put in practice, or that he was stayed in that ho iourable career which his eminent talents and kindness if heart and disposition allowed hint to pursue, whet so nuch satisfaction to himself, and benefit to those uroui.d
