MANcEssTER, Nov. 4.—Goods have been dull, but without any giving way in prices ; during the last day or two, however, rather more disposition for business has shown itself in some kinds of cloth, including T's and the lighter domestics. We may say, too, that we are closing the week in an increasingly hopeful mood as regards business in general. If this most propitious weather continue, we shall probably have wheat down in price ; and as to the Eastern question, a well-authenticated account of an engagement, even if adverse to the Turks, would now lead people to look for a hastening of diplo matic conclusions, than for the advent of a general war. As regards the disputes between employers and employed, we do not hear that the general suspension of work at Wigan, Preston, and Bacup, appears in the way of being terminated. The mills in the Burnley association were closed on Friday last ; and at Bury fifteen leading firms have given notice that they will cease cperations on the 10th inst. The Glossop masters have given notice for the withdrawal of the 10 per cent. which they had added to the wages of their hands ; and, if a strike should ensue, the mills in the assoc i a t e d dis tricts will be closed. This is a course now widely con templated. We learn from Royton that the fustian weavers in the employ of Messrs. Henry Whitaker and Sons, George Holden and Son, Holden Brothers, and J. and G. Travis, returned to work on Thursday, after a strike of eight weeks' duration. BRADFORD, Nov. 3.—Wools--There is no move in combing wools, and the supplies in the hands of the stap lers, and coming to the commission houses, augurs strongly that the country dealers have not had so many buyers visiting them as in years past, Yarns—The ces sation of looms around here, and the turnouts in Lan cashire, have brought the business of the spinners within a narrow limit, and at no period for very many years has there been such a stoppage of machinery. In reeled yarns there is some offering, not of a very first-class kind. NOTTINGHAM, Nov. 3.—The lace trade is still as flat as our recent reports have represented it, and there does not seem any chance of a change for the better for the next month or two. LEICESTER, Nov. B,—Our market may be summed in the word—caution in every branch. Manufacturers are curtailing production, and worsted spinners are wo rking short time. But little is doing in w oo l s , f or which there is no fixed value, nor any disposition amongst the staplers to force sales. QUARTERLY RETURN OF MARRIAGES, BIRTHS, AND DEATHS. (Published by authority of the Registrar-General.) The return comprises the births and deaths registered by 2,191 registrars in all the districts of England during the summer quarter ending Sept. 30, 1853 ; and the marriages in 12,039 churches or chapels, about 3,424 registered places of worship unconnected with the Estab lished Church, and 625 superintendent registrars' offices, in the quarter that ended June 30, 1850. The return of marriages is not complete, but the de fects are inconsiderable, and approximate numbers have been supplied from the records of previous years. The marriages exceeded the average in the quarter ending in June. For the quarter that ended September 30. the births have also been above the average number, while the deaths have been fewer than is usual in pro portion to the population. The mortality of the town population has experienced a marked diminution during the summer, but one town has suffered severely, and others are threatened by Asiatic cholera. MARRIAGES. 40,335 marriages were celebrated in the quarter that ended in June, 1853, a number exceeding by 328 the marriages in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The marriages in the spring quarter have thus gradually risen 30,048 in 1842, to 40,335 in 1853. The increase of marriages within the last five years is parti cularly conspicuous in London, Cornwall, Staffordshire, Cheshire, Monmouthshire, and South Wales. STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE. (From the Leeds Mercury of this day.) HUDDERSFIELD. Nov. 1.--We have had a very fiat market again to-day, there h av i ng b een ver y f ew buyers either in the cloth-hall or the warehouses. In wools there has been some little doing at reduced prices. Goods in a great many cases are also lower. ROCHDALE.—We have had an extremely dull market, with very little business doing. The merchants are unwilling to purchase only at reduced prices. There is ,a decided fall in the price of wool, varying from lid. to 2d. per lb., and the manufacturers buy for im mediate use only. In the warehouses the country orders are much more limited than is usual in the beginning of November. Lions, Nov. 4.—We have no change to report in the state of the woollen cloth trade ; it continues in the same dull, inactive, and languid state it has been in during the last four or five weeks. The trade in the warehouses is dull ; the present is not the shipping season, hence that branch of the trade is still, and those whose business is principally confined to supplying the wants of buyers who attend this market have been very quiet this week, as we are not aware that a single buyer of importance has been in the town. The country trade houses are circumstanced the best at present, but even they complain of their business being very much cur tailed. HALIFAX, Oct. 29.—The general state of this market is one of dulness and discouragement ; and the little business that is passing in the wool trade is rather de clining prices, both as regards combining and clothing descriptions.

Returns made to the Commissioners of Metropolitan 1 Police by the superintendents of the D, K, L, M, N, S, T, and V divisions of police,•state that between the 24th ult. and the 2d bast. there have occurred in those districts 16 cases of cholera, 12 of which terminated fatally. Death ensued in several instances after very short illness ; for example—in 81, 131, 22, and two in 24 hours after attack. The returns describe the locali ties in which deaths have occurred as almost invariably in a very dirty and neglected state. Another death from cholera in Millbank Prison is re ported as having taken place on the 2d instant. This makes the seventh death from cholera in the Penitentiary since the 20th August, out of 12 cases which have occurred there in that period. DARLINGTON. Nov. 3.—Diarrhoea (death) ... GATBSIEAD. Nov. 2.—Cholera (death) 1 . . From the Ist September to 2d November there have been 503 deaths registered in this union from cholera, and 43 from diarrhoea, making a total of 546. NORTH AYLESFORD UNION. Nov. 2.—Cholera (death) This case occurred in the cottage next to that in which the two deaths previously reported from this union took place. BERWICK-UPON-WE= (CANTLEGATE). Nov. 2.—Cholera (death") DUNDEE. • __ Nev. 2 . —Cholera (deaths) 4 From the returns of the Ist inst., it appeared that there were 23 eases of cholera under treatment ; 11 have since occurred, making 34 in the whole. Deducting the four deaths above reported, 27 cases now remain under medical treatment in the town. COLDINGHAM, BERWICKSHIRE. Ten cases of cholera and 28 of diarrhoea have occurred in this parish. Eight of the cholera cases have proved fatal, but the diarrhcoal cases —four of which were cho - leraic—have all recovered. THE FATAL FIREWORK EXPLOSION AT CHATBAM-ANOTHER DEATH. On. Thursday evening a coroner's inquisition was holden at the Chest Arms Inn, High-street, Chatham, before Thos. Mills, Esq., coroner for this dist r i c t, f o the purpose of inquiring into the cause which led to the loss of life, and the explosion on the premises of Mr. Henniker, gun smith. The Coroner, i n . his remarks to the jury, observed from what he had heard respecting the cause of this fright ful accident, that at the time of the explosion Mrs. Henniker and her sons were doing an unlawful act, and which makes the party committing the offence liable to fine and imprisonment, under the act of parliament 6th Wm. 111. cap. I—making and selling fireworks. He understood that at the time of the explosion between 601 b. and 701 b. of gunpowder were on the premises, and if that quantity had exploded the fatal consequences both to life and property would have been great. He hoped that this sad and painful event would be a warn ing to all those who make and sell fireworks. Both making and selling fireworks was illegal. After evidence had been received detailing the facts of the catastrophe already published, The Coroner observed that the inquiry could not be carried further. It appeared that Mr. Henniker was not on the spot, as he was up stairs ; and the three sons were not in a fit state to give evidence, they being much burnt. The Jury said they were agreed that it was an act dent, an d i t was pro b a b le that neither of the sons could state how the explosion took place. The following verdict was unanimously agreed on : " The Jury find a verdict that the deceased met her death from the accidental explosion of the preparation of gunpo wo ' er used in making fireworks; and the jury consider that the making and selling fireworks in pri vate establishments is highly reprehensible." At ten o'clock, one hour before the inquest had closed, the second son, Peter, aged about 16 years, died after much painful ufferin. Both of his arms and hands were burnt to a cinder. The eldest son, William, is not expected to live.

NOVEMBER 5, 1853. the cholera poison, be it what it may, is conveyed by water as well as air, hence the following precaution was cited in the cholera report : " The precautions to take against cholera, in regard to water, are well stated by Dr. Snow, and they are of so simple a nature that, considering all the facts, no par son can prudently neglect them. " Water into which sewers flow, or which is navigated by persons living in boats, or which is in any other way contaminated by the contents of the drains or cesspools, should be entirely disused." No person, to test the value of such a rule, would ever have proposed that a large town which was supplied with good water, and escaped with no considerable loss in a previous epidemic, should on the eve of another epidemic do all that is here forbidden. What no scep tical philosopher would have dared to propose as an ex periment, what no haughty conqueror ever condemned the inhabitants of a subjugated city to endure—this fine English town on the Tyne—the centre of the coal trade--of intelligence of every kind—and of engineering knowledge—has done and suffered. All the excreta, which are thrown into the streets or water-closets, are washed down the acclivities of the streets into the river ; the fermenting mass is driven up and down by the tides, and has thence since July been pumped by the engines at Elswick all over the town through the water-pipes for domestic uses ; it has been used for ablution, it has been washed over the doors, it has been drunk as a beverage by many of the children and the wives, as well as large numbers of the higher and middle as well as the working men of the town. This sad fact in the history of Newcastle will be remembered when the loss of 1,500 lives, by which it was followed, is forgotten. No water was drawn from the Tyne after September 15; the cholera then raged with less intensity, and the epidemic speedily subsided. The intensity of the epidemic at Newcastle-upon-Tyne is, under the circumstances, no decisive proof that in its essential form cholera is now more fatal than it was be fore ; but it is unquestionably a warning to those towns which derive their water from polluted tidal rivers to abandon such sources, and to accelerate their works for supplying the population with pure water before June next, otherwise the death registers may, it is to be feared, be filled with the names of innumerable victims of a practice which is as degrading as it is destructive to the English nation. * The Newcastle water taken from the River Tyne has been analysed by Dr. Robert Dundas Thomson. He found it to contain a quantity of organised matter mechanically diffused through it (loaded with living vibrios) to the amount of 4'552 grs. per gallon. Of this 0.545 grs. was destructible matter ; the remaining 3'957 grs. consisted of siliceous forms resembling the shields' of infusorial animals or diatomaceous plants. Dissolved or finely diffused in the water, he further found 2.68 grs. per gallon of organic matter. The water likewise contained 1 . 18 gr. per gallon of chalk, and 7.3 grs. of rauriate and sulphate of soda and sulphate of magnesia. The total solid contents were 15.662 grs. per galon. This water was, it is said, filtered, but the process is not described by the water company. THE WEATHER. The following report on the meteorology of Eng. land and Scotlnd,'during the quarter ending Sep tember 30, is by Mr. James Glaisher, F.R.S., secretary of the British Meteorological Society : " The daily temperatures have been below their aver ages throughout the quarter, with few and trifling excep tions. - The month of July was wet ; the fall of rain exceeded the double of the average fall for this month. The sky was cloudy. The first half of August was fine and dry, and was the only fine weather in the quarter. From the middle of August to the end of September the sky was mostly cloudy, the air damp, with a thick and hazy atmosphere. The motion of the air was less than its average. During parts of the month of Sep tember different places in England and Scotland were visited by numerous swarms of a black fly (Aphis Fabce) ; their appearance in a locality was sudden, and they con tinued till a brisk wind arose and carried them suddenly away. The numbers of these insects were extraordinary, and they were very annoying by settling in great num bers upon the face and hands. " The mean temnerature of the air at Greenwich for the quarter ending August, constituting the three sum mer months, was 59 0 .5, being 0 0 .4 below the average of 82 years.

This is above the average number • but it is less by 3,612 than the numbers (151,193) Which were registered in the corresponding quarter of 1852. The decrease is, singularly enough, observable in every county except Middlesex, Surrey, Cornwall, Stafford shire, Rutlandshire, Cheshire, Lancashire, Cumberland, and Monmouthshire. INCREASE OP POPULATION. As 147,581 births and only 92,332 deaths were regis tered, a balance of 55,249 remains in the population. The births and deaths are not registered in Scotland and, Ireland, as th e y are i n nearly al other civilised coun tries, so that the increase of the population of the United Kingdom cannot be ascertained ; but if the excess of births in those divisions of the United Kingdom bears the same proportion to the population as it does in Eng land and Wales, the increase by natural causes must be about 83,000. But 87,467 emigrants sailed from the ports of the United Kingdom at which there are Govern ment emigration agents in the quarter ending September 30, 1853, so that, allowing on one hand for births un registered, on the other for emigrants unreturned, it is probable that the population of the United Kingdom has declined rather than increased during the summer. 13,623 of the emigrants sailed from London, Plymouth, and Southampton, 63 , 600 from Liverpool, 2,807 from Glasgow and Greenock, 7,437 from Irish ports. As a large proportion of the emigrants from Liverpool, as well as from the Irish ports, are natives of Ireland, it follows that the population of Ireland is decreasing, and that the population of England is slowly increasing, while the contributions of both countries within the last three years to the colonial plantations are without example. PRICES OF PROVISIONS. The prices of the chief articles of food are much higher than they were in the corresponding quarter of the last year ; the rise in the price of wheat is 26, mutton 23, beef 24, potatoes 31 per cent. The rate of wages has been raised in several trades ; and at the same time the labourers and artizans have been more fully employed. STATE OP THE PUBLIC HEALTH. 92,332 deaths have been registered during the quarter, a number less by 8,165 than the number of persons (100,497) whose deaths were recorded in the summer quarter of 1852. The depression of the mortality ex tended overnearly every county except Durham and Nor thumberland, and indeed over all except a few districts of those counties. A similar depression of the mortality was observed in the summer quarter of 1848, immediately before the outbreak of the epidemic cholera. The mortality during the quarter of the districts com prising the chief towns and a population of 7,795,882 was at the rate of 2.4 per cent. per annum nearly ; the mortality of the districts of small towns and country parishes was at the rate of I'7 per cent. The average rates are higher, or 2'6 and 1.9 per cent. The number of deaths in !London was 12,918, which is below the average. The deaths by zymotic disease were, 3,456, including 1,232 by diarrhcea, and 137 by cholera. The deaths by diarrhcea were 200 less than in either of the summer quarters of the preceding years ; the deaths from cholera did not exceed the average of the 3 preceding summer quarters. 595 deaths were re ferred to typhus : and over the country scarlatina pre vailed with great severity in several districts. The local epidemics are indicated in the registrars' reports. The appearance of the Asiatic cholera in London, and the terrific mortality whibh it has occasioned within a few weeks in the north of England, are of such import ance as to demand the whole of our attention. As a means of guidance and a basis of reasoning it may be useful to present here a brief summary of the facts which regulated the course of the epidemic that broke out five years ago. THE CHOLERA. Evident cases of the epidemic of 1848-49 well) , regis tered in London and in Sunderland during the first week of October. The deaths from cholera in all England were 1,105 during the last three months of the year. The epidemic dedlined, and in April, 1849, the deaths were only 107 ;in May, 327. The great epidemic eruption began, and in June 2,046 persons died of it, July, 7,s7o, — Atigust 15,172, September 20,379, October 4,6 . 54, November 844, December 163. The thirty-sixth and thirty-seventh weeks of the year 1849 were the most fatal ; the deaths from cholera in those two weeks were 12,592. On the most fatal day, September 6, the deaths by the disease were 1,121, I The total deaths from cholera in 1849 were 53,293. 12,152 of the number were of persons under 10 years of age. The mortality by the disease was at the rate of 30 in 10,000, of the inhabitants. Diarrhoea of a severe form was fatal in the same year to 18,887 persons, chiefly children ; or to 11 in 10,000 of the inhabitants. The danger of dying by the epidemic was greatest at advanced ages ; the rate of mortality was 13 in 10,000 at the age of 12 ; 64 in 10,000 at the age of 70 ; the danger advancing progressively with age. The duration of the fatal attacks of cholera is recorded _n 39,468 cases; and it was found to be 50 hours on an average. More than half of the cases (20,684) termi nated within 24 hours. In 85 of the 623 districts of England no death from cholera was recorded. Only one death was referred to cholera in Hereford shire, and only one in Westmoreland. The centres of the attacks of the great epidemic were London, Portsmouth. Plymouth, Bristol, Merthyr Tyd vil, Wolverhampton, Liverpool, Hull, and Tynemouth. In the following districts the rate of mortality by cho lera exceeded 100 to 10,000 inhabitants :—lt was in Hull 241, Merthyr Tydvil 234, Stoke Damerel 193, Salisbury 185, Neath 169, Liverpool 167, Plymouth 167, Sculcoates 152, East Stonehouse 148, Leeds 145, St. Germans 143, Wolverhampton 137, Tynemouth 129, Gravesend 119, Newcastle-under-Lyme 117, Hunslet (near Leeds) 102. The districts which in London were most fatal were Rotherhithe 205, St. Olave 181, St. George, Southwark, 164, Bermondsey 161, St. Saviour, 153, Newington 144, Lambeth 120. It was in Wands worth 100. The mortality was at the rate of 50 in 10,000 on the coasts ;17 in 10,000 over the inland districts. It was at the rate of 125 in 10,000 in the districts including the large ports ; 47 in the districts of the secondary ports ; 15 in the other coast districts. Of the inhabitants of low river and seaside districts. 85 in 10,000 died by cholera ; in London the loss was 62 ; in i n l and towns 38 ; in small towns and the coun tcoryifantaherht around d t uisnodlearnt, and reher:ver sources only 12 in 10,000 perished. s e , ds Wolverhampton, Merthyr Tydvil, atlow 35 the greater part of the mortality ; i n the In London th the e water supply y other large inland tow ns the mortality w as o r p a p t e l of had 11 in 10 ,000. density of considerable influence the on the mortality. The density p opu l a ti on and e s r o e .l not without effect, but poverty of the inhabitants the effect of elevation of they itrscended all other influences. On an average the .mortalityooo by 3 s o c fh leaso l e r a thanwas 2 i n 0 the several London districts at elevations in 6 10,000 ; in feet above Trinity highwater mark 00 1 0 00 feet ; the districts at an elevation of 20-40 feet, 65 8 5 0 in 10,000 ; of 40-60 feet, 34 ; of 60-80 feet, 27 ; 22 ; of 100 feet, 1 ; of 350 feet, 8 in 10, inhabi tants. The present epidemic has appeared first, like all that have preceeed it, in the seaports. The first well-defined cases in London were registered in August, and the epi demic may be dated from August 20 ; up to October 1, the registered deaths, including some by English cholera, have amounted to 133. The origin of the last epidemic may be dated from October 1, 1848 ; and that of 1831.- 32 also began in the month of October, 1831. The pre sent epidemic has attacked us earlier in the year, but it has not yet in the aggregate been more fatal in London than it was during the same number of weeks in 1848. In Newcastle-upon-Tyne, with a population of 89,155 in 1851, the mortality from chole ra has raised the deaths by all causes from 638 to 2,035; in Gateshead from 374 to 771 in three months. The epidemic poison was DO sooner introduced into the region, than it, as it were, exploded, and destroyed nearly 2,000 lives. In neither of the previous epidemics was any such sudden destruction of life observed. Is the present epi demic—so quickly following the epidemic of 1848-9—of a different and more fatal character ? or are there local circumstances, independently of the nature of the epi demic, that account for the desolation that now surrounds Newcastle-upon-Tyne? These important questions can, it is evident, only be definitively answered by careful inquiry into all the circumstance ; but enough has been elicited to justify us in refusing to admit at present that the epidemic is in its nature more destructive than its pr y e . e e cre n s e sors, while it yields an awful sanction to the I head, in ' I ~,I, i law which prohibits the use of impure water. replysuperintendent t ! has made, show ing, that rom the and have state, inquiries which the Registrar-General been largely su have forwarded documents show- P,,Pflrieodmbteifeer'iernNvith salubrious water, was supplied of July last the town, which bad nity of the sewerage impure The fact cannot be cyl'uenetes°tivonned' source of the Tyne, in the vici astplen-ruep supplied in that the water with r l jd that 1 iwhich comparativelyNe Newcastle-upon-Tyne c lB4B-9 was mitous loss of life was recorded theonniBs3' when the cala was supplied with water containing registrars, the city the contents of the sewers.

ASSAULTS BY A GENTLEMAN ON THE TURF.-IN THE MATTER OF JOHN HENRY NOLAN. This insolvent, who had betted on the turf, applied to be discharged under the act. Mr. Macrae opposed on the part of Mr. Morris and his wife, and also for a Mr. Smith. Mr. Sargood sup ported. The complaint was that the insolvent was indebted for damages in two actions for assaults, and that the injury complained of was malicious. It appeared that he lodged at the house of Mr. Morris, who is a printer, in Tennison-street, York-road, Lambeth. In the early part of February he went home at past twelve o'clock at night, and asked Mrs. Morris, who lighted hies up stairs and gave him a candle, whether the " felon " in the first floor had come home, as he should not sleep there again. He was informed that he had not come home. Without the slightest provocation he struck Mrs. Morris and blackened both her eyes, and she declared would have thrown her over the stairs had not her dress given way. She cried "mur der," and her lodger Mr. Smith (the other opposing creditor) came to her assistance. The insolvent attacked him, and whilst on the stairs struck him with a poker, and he was felled to the ground and bled profusely. Both Mrs. Morris and Mr. Smith were attended by a surgeon, and confined some days. An action was brought and tried at the Surrey Assizes. In each case the jury awarded 751. damages, which, with the costs, amounted to a considerable sum, and for which the insolvent was now in custody. The question raised was whether there was "malice," in order to bring the case within the act of Parliament ? It was stated that the insolvent was tipsy at the time he committed the assaults. Mr. Commissioner Murphy thought there was malice in law, but he wished to hear the evidence of the parties, whereupon. Mrs. Morris and Smith were examined. The Insolvent stated to his counsel that he had been to a dinner party, and was intoxicated when he returned home. Mr. Macrae wished to know whether the insolvent was not connected with a gambling-house ? In answer to questions, The Insolvent stated that he was not connected with a gambling-house. He had betted, and on the last Ches ter Cup lost 1101. He had betted on a good many races. He had bought tickets at betting-offices, and had lost money. Mr. Macrae prayed a judgment for the damages awarded in two cases of gross assault, and contended that the injuries had been maliciously inflicted. It would be an abuse of the act to allow a person who had dissipated his means in betting transactions to wipe out the damages and costs by going through this court, without a serious judgment. Mr. Sargood insisted that there was no malice in law. and that the case could not come under the act of Parlia ment. The insolvent was drunk at the time, and not in his senses. Mr. Commissioner Murphy expressed himself clearly of opinion that there was malice in law proved against the insolvent, and that intoxication was no palliation or extenuation. Here was a woman who, without any provocation, had her eyes blackened, and a lodger, who came to see what was the row, felled to the ground with a poker. If it was not malice, then, as the song said, "it was forlove he was knocked down." Malice had been made out, and for the damages awarded, the insol vent would receive a judgment of six months. Judgment accordingly. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EPSOM AUTUMN MEETING—FAIDAY. THE STEEPLECHASES. DURDAN'S PLATE (flat race), of 70 sovs., for 2-yr-olds and upwards. Optional selling weights.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, MARINE DEPARTMENT, Nov. 2. The Right Honourable the Lords of the Committee of the Privy Council for Trade and Plantations have received from her Majesty's Consul at Rotterdam a copy of a No tice, issued by the Minister of the Netherland Marino De partment (a translation of which is subjoined), relative to Buoys that have now been placad at the entrance of the Friesland Middelgat. - By order, (Copy NOTICE TO MARINERS. JAMES BOOTH, The Minister of Marine hereby informs such as are in terested thereby, as a continuation of the notice of the 18th of August last, that the Friesland Middelgat is now indi cated by an ordinary red buoy, as outer buoy, besides three black and three white buoys ; and that the afore mentioned red buoy is placed in 10 ells depth, bearing : The south-east beacon of Schiermonnikoog, S.E. The large lighthouse on the Englishman's Bank, S. ; the steeple ofPeesens being between the two lighthouses on the Englishman's Bank, a handspike's length to the east of the large lighthouse. The Ist white buoy is placed in 44 palms depth, bearing : The aforesaid beacon at Schiermonnikoog, S.E. The aforesaid large lighthouse, S. W. The 2d white buoy lies in 39 palms depth, bearing : The aforesaid beacon, S.E. The aforesaid large lighthouse, S. I W. The 3d white buoy is placed in 70 palms depth, bearing : The aforesaid beacon, S.E. 6 S. The aforesaid lighthouse, S.S.W.

The course in the middle of the channel, from the red buoy to the 2d white buoy, is S.E. E. From the 2d white buoy to the 3d white buoy, E.S.E. From the 3d white buoy to the striped buoy, S. by E. E. The latter striped buoy (half red and half white) lies in the place of the 4th black buoy, at the junction of the Middelgat and North-East Friesland Seagat. The courses to be observed from this buoy further inland remain the same as heretofore. • In the Middelgat the water is the shallowest near to the 2d white buoy. It must be borne in mind that in this entrance from sea the flood tide sets in from the south coast, and the ebb tide on the opposite side. The bearings are taken by unadjusted compass, and the depths at ordinary low water. The Minister aforementioned, (Signed) T. EMILIE. The Hague, Oct. 1853. CUSTOM-HOUSE, Nov. 4.

Carthaginians, Syrians, Sidonians, Egyptians, Persians, Greeks, and Romans—there they lie, side by side, beneath the eternal waters ; and the modern ship that fetches freight from Alexandria, sails in its whole course over buried nations. It may be the corruption of the dead that now adds brightness to the phosphorescence of the waves. Ali told me that in the East they have a superstition on this subject, which represents the spirits of the departed as hovering, whether on land or water, over the spots where the ruins of their earthly tabernacles are found ; so that in ploughing the Mediterranean we sail through armies of ghosts more multitudinous than the waves. These patient spirits sometimes ride on the foam, and at other times repose in those d e li c i ous little hollows which look like excavated emeralds, between the crests of the waves. It is their union and thronging together, say the Orientals, that constitute the phosphorescence of the sea, for wherever there is spirit there is light, and the billows flash with luminousness of vanished gene rations, that concentrate, as it were, the starlight on their wings. [ADVERTISEMENT.]—A LIEUTENANT OF DRAGOONS CURED OF RHEUMATISM BY HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT AND PILLS. —This officer, who is in the Dutch army . , states that Holloway's Pills and Ointment have cured him of rheumatism, which appeared to be incurable, as neither sea-bathing, vapour-baths, nor preparations vaunted as sure remedies, did him any good, and the treatment of the doctor, after several months' trial, was without suc cess. At this juncture he commenced taking these Pills and rubbing the Ointment into the complaining parts twice a day, which effectually cured him in the course of six weeks. The truth of this statement can be vouched for by Mr. J. 33. Stratman, of Bois-le-Duc.—Sold by all drug gists ; and at Professor Holloway's establishment, 244, Strand, London, COUNTRY MARKETS.
