(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, Aug. 23.—The telegraphic notice of the India and China advices, received this morning, has tended still to keep merchants out of the yarn and cloth markets ; and the prospect as to the supply of grain in France and Italy, as well as in this country, is calculated to operate restrictively upon the money market, and in that way to limit the purchase of our fabrics, especially for distant countries. The consequence is, that we have, again had a quiet day ; and, in some articles, pries are slightly more unfavourable to sellers than they were last week. This bias is chiefly observable, as it was last week, in pincops, for domestics, which seem now to be touching their proper level ; in some kinds of warps, in 16's to 24's reeled water twist ; in mule twist, for India, and in wide G E shirtings for the East. Yet, in these the decline is small. The makers of the shirtings referred to, are so confident of a prospective demand, that they have no hesitation about keeping stocks on hand. But, in some articles the market is dearer. This is the case with nearly all doubled yarns ; and the Bolton spinners of 60's and upwards, either have raised their prices, or are about to do so. In fact, with some irregularity, our market, both in the department of yarns and of goods, exhibits an aggregate steadiness, indeed firmness, which naturally results from the extent of the engagements in band combined with the increasing cost of production. The advance in wages is going through the district. In many scattered establishments it is quietly paid, and the public hear nothing about it. At Blackburn, Preston, Burnley, Accrington, and the neighbourhoods included under those names, the ten per cent. is given both to the weavers and spinners. The Ashton spinners have issued a circular calling for five per cent. in addition to five per cent. previously paid. The American accounts show a hardening tendency in cotton ; but vessels were exceed ingly scarce, and freights extremely high. The printed circulars say a good deal about rains and worms ; but, the most respectable private letters, and the most trust worthy circulars also, describe the season as favourable. One of the latter, from New Orleans, says, "We ob serve some very flattering accounts from the country with regard to the growing crop of cotton ; the few com plaints made are of overmuch rain, causing, as it neces sarily will, rot and the shedding of forms and bolls. But we see no reason to change our favourable opinion of the prospects for a good yield generally. ROCHDALE, Aug. 22.—We have had but a poor mar ket to-day, being the wakes, which generally interferes with business. English wool is very firm, and rather more inquired after. HALIFAX, Aug. 20.—The attendance in our Piece hall to-day has been exceedingly slender, and scarcely any worsted goods have changed hands. There is an improved demand for yarn ; and the buyers are giving out their orders more freely. The wool market is much the same as noted in our last ; the prices asked by the growers being higher than those realised by the staplers. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE of YESTERDAY. WHITEHALL, AUG. 20.

The general half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at Derby, and was attended by a very numerous body of shareholders. Mr. J. Ellis, the chairman, of the directors, presided. Mr, J. F. Bell, the secretary, read the report of the directors. It stated that the gross receipts from thp traffic of the half-year ending June last have exceede those of the corresponding half-year of 1852 by the sum of 46,997/. exclusive of receipts from the North-West ern. The proportion which the working expenses have been borne to the receipts (exclusive of rates, taxes, Government duty, and the provision for the renewal of permanent way and increase 6f rolling stock) has been 441. 17e 6d. per cent., as compared with 41. Bs. 7d. per cent., as compared with 411. Bs. 7d. per cent. in 1852 ; the percentage, however, of 1852 did not include the working of the North-Western. The balance available for dividend is 173,4061.; and the directors recommend dividends payable on the Ist of September as follows :- 11. 12s. 6d. upon each 1001. Midland consolidated stock • 18s. 9d. upon each 1001. Birmingham and Derby consolidated stock, 31. upon each 100/. consolidated preferential stock ; 11. 10s. upon each Erevrash Valley share ' . and 2s. 3d. upon each share of 163. 13s. 4d., being 41 per cent. upon 51. per share paid up. This will leave a balance of 2,0841. to be carried to the next account. There has been a great increase in the cost of the maintenance of way—one-half of which is caused by the reinstatement of the line and works from the da mage done by the floods of last winter. The high rate of wages, the additional length of line maintained, and the larger traffic upon it, have also contributed to that result. The many advantages arising from the use of the fish-joint, when applied to rails of the ordinary construction, have induced the directors to purchase from the Permanent Way Company the right of using this and all their other patents, which will effect a considerable saving. 161 miles of double line have been relaid, and 15 miles fish jointed during the half-year. The increased speed and weight of the trains, however, render it necessary to proceed more rapidly than they have hitherto done with this work, and with the substi tution of 801 b, rails for 561 b. and 651 b. rails, and the directors recommend that so much of the cost thus in curred as represents the " increased " strength of the permanent way should be charged to capital, and the remainder to revenue. The works between Gloucester and Stonehouse, which were much impeded by the late unfavourable weather, are now proceeding rapidly to completion. The narrow "guage from Stonehouse to Bristol is completed, with the exception of about two miles, and it is anticipated that there will be an unbroken narrow guage to Bristol in the course of the autumn. Ten new goods engines and tenders and 590 waggons have been added to the stock since last half-year, and the cost has been charged to capital, as authorised by the proprietors. In consequence of the very large addi tion to the goods and mineral traffic, the directors have contracted for 20 new goods engines and tenders, at a 'cost of 52,0001., to be charged to capital. The mileage of trains for the half-year has been 3,009,993 miles, against 2,603,068 for the corresponding period of 1852 ; and the weight of goods and minerals carried has been 1,846,016 tons, against 1,508,058, being an increase of 337,958 tons. With respect to Parliamentary proceed ings, the directors state that they found it necessary to oppose the bills of the Leicester and Nuneaton, the Ambergate, Nottingham, and Boston, and the Stam ford and Essendine railway companies, as they con tained *clauses very inimical to their interests. The bills of the two first-named have been rejected by Parliament, and the objectionable clauses struck out of the Stamford and Essendine. The bills promoted by the Midland Company for the construction of the Leicester and Hitchen Railway, and for the conver sion of the debenture debt of the company into pre ference shares or annuities, have received the Royal assent ; but the bill for amalgamation with the London and North-Western has been withdrawn, in consequence of the appointment of a select committee of the House of Commons, which advised the house not to allow of any amalgamation this session, and which has since re ported against the amalgamation of very large companies. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, that the position of the company with respect to the revenue of the line was exceedingly satisfactory. The increase of their earnings had far exceeded expec tation, and it was still progressing at a most gratifying rate. Turning to the, other side of the question, how ever, he at once admitted that it was far from satisfac tory. (Hear, hear.) They must, of course, have anti eipated a considerable increase in their expenses from various causes, which must be obvious to every one. In the price of all the materials employed in the re pairs of stock, and especially of locomotives, there had been a very great increase ; but he confessed that he and his brother directors had been surprised at the end of the half-year to find the amount by which the ex penses had exceeded those of the former half-year. The expense of the permanent way had increased by 3,8001. The proprietors would remember that at the last meet ing he had stated, with reference to the heavy floods, that Mr. Barlow, the engineer, had informed him that they would inflict a cost on the company of something like 10,0001. About 3,0001. of that sum they had paid last half-year, and he believed that something like 4,0001. of the present 8,000/.was attributable also to the consequences of those tremendous floods. 1,2001. had been occasioned by the Little North-Western, and the remaining 3,0001. was partly accounted for by the high wages, and partly by the high prices of materials. When it came to be examined, he did not think that there was anything to be dissatisfied with with respect to the increased charge on account of the permanent way. (Hear.) In the locomotive power there was an increase of 22,0001. About 6,000/. of that had arisen from working the Little North-Western, reducing that increase to 16,000/. In the half-year, however, they had nearly 406,000 ad ditional miles, and carried 337,000 tons more weight than in the previous half-year. The Locomotive Com mittee were disposed to exercise the utmost amount of economy that could possibly be practised in that depart ment consistently with the safety and efficiency of the stock, but beyond that they could not and were not pre pared to go. (Hear, hear.) In the coaching depart ment, also, there had been an increase of about 7,0001., 1,000/. of which arose from working the Little North- Western, and the remainder from the increased rate of wages and materials. 7n the merchandise department there had been an increased expenditure of nearly 10,0001., 1,0001. of which was attributable to the Little North- Western, while the remainder had arisen from the same fertile source of increased expenditure—the price of materials and wages. The directors, however, had come to the conclusion that the merchandise department at the various stations required a very close revision. During the continuance of the floods in the winter it had been necessary to put on a great number of extra hands beyond what was requisite for the ordinary traffic. Many of those hand had since been dis pensed with, but not to the full extent, and measures were being taken for strictly and stringently investiga ting the state of the staffs at every station, great and small, and for making such reductions as with safety they could make. (Hear, hear.) They did not intend to do anything in any way. to impair the working of the line, but every effort that men of business could exert should be made to reduce this charge to the lowest pos sible point. (Hear, hear.) The directors were as anxious as the proprietors could be to keep down the expenses ; but every man of business knew that in the present state and tendency of things in this country it was not possible to expect any great reduction of expen diture ; but they must be content if they could keep ex penditure at its present amount. The directors were of opinion that the time had come when they ought to go thoroughly through all their sources of revenue. Almost every class of people, in whatever trade engaged, were making money out of the present circumstances of the country, but themselves. They were so tied down in many cases by their maximum rates that they could not help themselves ; but they intended to go carefully through the whole of their rates, and in every case where it was practicable and safe to increase their rate of charges. (Hear, hear.) That was really the only way of meeting the difficulty. To a considerable extent he hoped they would be able to accomplish their object. In some measure it had already been effected ; but it was their intention to go through the whole of the rates again with the view of raising them. He was not afraid of losing the traffic—not a bit. It was not as if they had a sinking traffic. They had an immense traffic, and it was their duty to deal with it, and to make the most of it. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the Little North-Western line, there might have been a loss of 1,0001. or 1,5001. this year, taking it by itself, but, looking at the traffic which it took to and from the Midland, he was convinced that on the whole it was a great gain to them. The traffic upon that line had increased by between 40 and 50 per cent., owing to its being worked by the Midland, and to the traffic which they mutually brought to and con veyed from each other. (Hear, hear.) The next im portant question was that of the maintenance of way, and it was one which the proprietors must meet boldly. They were aware that up to this time railways had been almost an experiment. H e h a d b een a ra il wa y di r ector 2 4 years, and he remembered that they began with 351 b. rails, then they got to 401 b., then 561 b,, then 651 b., V ib. 7 r O a l i b is ~ and now they thought that nothing less than Only, but t r ie ould carry them safely.

They must develops railway sYs. traffic, and they might depend upon it they could co ne not carry it on with the old rails. The directorsud were bound to see that the line was safe for the pub lic to travel on, and it was not safe while they had o nly 561 b. rails where 801 b. rails were re q uired. It was for the meeting to say w hether they would charge tal, because there wa s no question but they must be laid. the cost of laying down th ose rails to revenue . or to Capi. improving rails.

Were now 75 miles of line that mast be relaid within three years. The cost of that the directors proposed to defray out of capital, but , by continuing to set aside 20,0001. a-year out of the revenue, they hoped to set the account square again. With regard to the proposed increase in the locomotive stock, he would only observe that no line in England worked the same amount of traffic with so few engines.as the Midland did. The di rectors saw the traffic increasing day by day, and, as engines could not be constructed at a minute's notice, they had taken upon themselves to order 20 new ones, and they hoped tha t the proprietors would sanction the course which they had taken in that respect. (Hear.) That also might be paid out of revenue if the meeting wished it. With respect to their Parliamentary proceed ings, he begged to congratulate them most heartily upon having carried the Leicester and Hitchin line. The more he looked at it, and considered the position in which it placed them, the more satisfied he was that it was the wisest piece of policy they had ever pursued. They in tended to proceed at once to construct that line. They were bound to make it in five years, but he hoped that they would have it completed in half that time. The average interest of their debenture debt was 31.195. 4d., but he hoped that the time might come when they would be able to convert their debentures into 3 per cent. stock, and when it did arrive they would ask for powers to effect that conversion. He would not attempt to prophecy, but he expressed his firm conviction that there was no cause whatever to despair of the Mid land Railway. He believed that the time was at hand when they would obtain something handsome from it ; but the only way to do so was to determine upon increasing their rates. Even the twopences made a dif ference in such a concern as that, and, when he looked into the ramifications of it, he certainly was very hope ful upon the subject ; and he told them once more that he believed no man need despair about the position of the Midland Railway. (Hear, hear.) He begged to move " That the report of the directors now read, and the recommendations therein contained, be received and adopted, and that the same be printed and a copy sent to each proprietor. (Cheers.) Mr. IRoNSIDES did not understand how it was, with their greatly increased traffic, that they were only to get a dividend of 3i per cent. He had seen it statedin some of the newspapers that a gentleman named All port, from the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, was to be engaged to manage their line at a salary of 1,8001. a-year. He hoped and trusted that there was some error there. The French lines were better con ducted and paid better than ours, but there were no such salaried officers as that. With regard to raising the rates upon the line, that was a subject upon which the directors ought not to enter without a great deal of care and caution. The line is a single one, upon the broad guage, 25 miles in length, and runs into the South Wales at the Grange, about eight miles from Glocester. Two heavy tunnels, in course of construction, prevent the speedy opening of the whole line. The Lea tunnel is 800 yards in length, The Fawley tunnel 530 yards. The latter is about four miles from Ross, and further on is the heavy one at Ballingham of 1,200 yards. The line crosses the river Wye at Eign, where the works are progressing, and the bridges and other works are in an advanced state. In a short time three lines will thus converge at Hereford.

The CHAIRMAN said, that Mr. Ironsides was in some error with respect to Mr. Allport, Whatever changes they proposed would be mentioned next half-year ; but in the meantime he would say that the directors were either compent to manage that concern, or they were not. If they were competent, surely they were fit to be intrusted with fixing the salaries of their servants. If the proprietors thought them incompetent, tell them so at once, and they should no longer be troubled with their services. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the - French lines, there was no analogy whatever between the cases, for if the English Government had protected the English lines as the French Government had pro tected the French lines, they wou ld have given as good dividends as the French railways ; but the British Parliament had subjected them to fierce and unnatural competition, for which the directors of existing companies were in no way responsible. One of the great points at which they ought to aim was the maintenance of peace and amity with surrounding companies, and he was glad to inform the meeting that in addition to the six towns with respect to which an arrangement had previously been made, they had now arranged that with regard to the towns of Peterborough, Stamford, Nottingham, and Newark there should be no competition between the Great Northern Company and themselves so long as the Gladstone award remained in force, which would be up to the beginning of 1856. (Hear, hear.) Their rates were agreed and fixed upon, and with respect, therefore, to those important towns there would be no competition whatever. (Hear, hear.) Mr. IRONSIDES said, the chairman would recollect that at a former meeting he had recommended that a list of all the salaries above 1001. a-year should be published with their financial statements. With reference to Mr. Allport, he asked where they found educated men in the professions receiving 1,8001. a-year. What clergyman received such a sum for his services ?

The CruntmeN said, it would be a long time before any railway company would ever satisfy the coalowners in the matter of trucks. He had been in the way him self, and he knew what it was. (A. laugh.) With re gard to the pass question, he said let him and the direc tors be informed who were the offenders, and he would soon see that the evil was remedied. He asked the question, did any of them ever know that he had given a pass to any of his friends ? Neither to his wife, nor to any of his family, had he ever granted such a privilege. He wished Mr. Gee to supply him with the names of the persons to whom he had referred, and he would see that the matter was thoroughly investigated, and justice done to the company. (Hear.) Mr. GEE said that he was possessed of a number of names, but he thought it better not to mention them on that occasion. He only hoped that the system of which he complained would be amended.

The showery state of the weather evidently deterred numbers from `• assisting " at the day's races, the at tendance of general company being comparatively very scanty. Few ladies ventured forth, and the show of carriages was poor indeed. The amount of sport, how ever, exceeded expectation, and speculation was carried on with much spirit, notwithstanding the results were for the most part unfavourable to the fielders. The ground was somewhat heavy in places, but • generally speaking there was "good going." RADCLIFFE RACES-YESTERD AY. ST. LEGER. Baron Os evy .walked over, FREE HANDICAP. Snowdon Dunhill f by Gameboy to. Mr. GEE asked if Mr. Taylor had a pass ? The CHAIRMAN replied that he had. He was an old director of the company, and his eminent services en titled him to that privilege. He believed there were only three oid directors who during their lifetime had enjoyed passes. He referred to the late Lord Wharn cliffe, the late Mr. Gisborne, and Mr. Taylor. As be bad before stated, however, if Mr. Gee would furnish the case, a rigid inquiry should take place. The motion was then unanimously agreed to ; and a resolution declaring the dividend in the terms of the report was also unanimously adopted. The meeting was then made special, in order to de termine upon the mode of creating the new capital for the construction of the Leicester and Hitchin Railway. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing this subject, again en larged upon the advantage which this line would bring to the company. Their engineer, Mr. Liddell, had es timated that it would cost to construct 900,0001., which the directors proposed to raise as follows :—To take powers for the creation of 135,000 51. shares, which would yield 675,0001., and to borrowing the remaining 225,0001. They proposed that the new stock should be issued in October next, that it should bear interest at the rate of 4 per cent. (preferential), that it should be offered to the present holders at the rate of one share for every 1001. stock, that the first call of 30s. should be made on the 24th of October next, a further call of 30s. on the 24th of April, 1854, and the last call of 21. on the 30th of October, 1854. He concluded by moving a resolution to that effect. Six ran. STEWARDS' CUP. f by Theon Surveyor Six ran. RES FOR 1853. ;hesis denote the number o •acing.

A PROPRIETOR wished to know what good was anti cipated from this line ? The CHAIRMAN, said it was unnecessary to go into that, because they were obliged by Parliament to con struct it within five years—they had no option. He might say, however, without meaning anything in vidious to the North-Western, with whom they were on the best terms, that he could never rest until the Midland Railway, with its 500 miles of line, was nearer London than Rugby. (Hear.) This line brought it within 30 miles of the metropolis, and was in that re spect highly important and advantageous. (Cheers.) After a few words from Mr. Ramsay and Mr. Cooke in opposition to the guarantee principle generally, the motion was agreed to.

Mr. T. Fereday, a magistrate, and late mayor of Dudley, was called to the chair. After some explanations from Mr. J. H.

He would now move the following resolution :—" That this meeting, after hearing the representations of the gentlemen who have attended on behalf of the London and North-Western and Staffordshire companies, trusts that there is every probability that the loop between the two lines at Dudley Port will be opened not later than the 10th of next month, but in the event of this not b it. e eo i e n tw g eh. ; c h eh e , case, and satisfactory arrangements not being made by these companies for the accommodation of the passenger et t ha raffi lelin c from Dudley to Birmingham and Wol- N o :TT eri a ad nip la t y o , n a , t d hat a memorial be presented to the Board Worcester, and ege townits attention an d neighbourhoodto th e grea greatinconvenience avo , be e n s u sub jected b g y its th im e m lo e n d g iat d o el in ay te i r 'n fer o e p n e e n e in t g o p th re is v l e o n o t p, an a y nd fu r r e - - A resolution was Tuber, the 12th of Se also to secure the speedy opening of the t . ) v . t o l i. v e er S b o tah u me t South Wolverhampton Staffordshire and Oxford, junctioa between thanks to the chairman,latpassed to adjourn the meeting until and, after passing a vote of HEREFORD, Ross , AND GLOCESTER.

LORD CAMPBELL AMD HIS GALWAY TENANTRY. The Galway Packet says :—" Lord Campbell will enter tain his Moycullen tenantry at a. public banquet in the large school-room of Moycullen on next Monday. We have heard that the invitations amount to four hun dred. He will also entertain his Barna, tenantry in a similar manner during the ensuing week. This speaks well for the future career of Lord Campbell as an Irish landlord. We have also been informed that he has en gaged a female teacher to instruct the daughters of his tenantry in sewing and embroidery. Should his lord ship proceed in this course of conciliation and kindness, there will not be more promptly paid rents nor a more happy tenantry in Ireland." BANQUET TO GENERAL SIR JOSEPH THACKWELL, AT GLOUCESTER.- —This gallant general, whose skilful and intrepid conduct during the late arduous campai-ns in India and the Sikh territory gained for him such warm eulogium and approbation, has been invited to a grand public banquet to be given by the mayor and municipal autl•orities and citizens of the city of Gloucester. The invitation has been accepted by Sir Joseph, and will take place at about the end of the month, and will be held at the Concert-room. The immediate occasion of the en tertainment arose from the gallant general passing through Gloucester on his way to Ledbury, in order to visit his relations. At Ledbury he was received with a hearty welcoming peal of bells ; and at Dymock, where he visited his nephew, J. Cam Thackwell, Esq., similar -r0 1:11 , demonstrations took place.

James Candlish, the champion of the Tyne, and James Messenger, of Teddington, yesterday contended for 2001. over the usual aquatic course for great events, from Put ney to Mortlake. This race had for a considerable time past created great interest among all classes of rowing men, and was one upon which large sums of money were speculated. Candlish's renown had been confined to his own and neighbouring waters until last season, when he was backed against Thomas Mackinney, of Richmond, and won on two occasions so well that he was backed against his present antagonist, whose superiority of style, coupled with pace, will place him deservedly next to the champion of the London river. In age they differed but little, nor was there any advantage worth speaking of in weight, Candlish being 26 years old, and rowing at 10st., while his opponent numbered but two more years, and an increase of 41b. A great number of north country gentlemen came up to town to see the event, and the assemblage of persons altogether consisted of many thousands. There were six steamers accom panying the race, besides a hundred boats of other descriptions, and anxious spectators of every grade lined the towing-path and covered the bridges. The neces sary preliminaries having been arranged, the two men took their stations off the Star and Garter, and were soon at work. Messenger jumped off with a slight lead from the Middlesex station, and off the Messrs. Searles' had drawn himself clear. A most determined and gal lant race followed. As Candlish went on he appeared to get more in rowing form, and, overlapping his oppo nent's stern-post, threatened again and again a change of positions, amid the deafening cheers of the spectators, but as often as he got near his opponent's sculls, the effort was met by a corresponding effort on the part of Messenger. Despite the .most extraordinary and gal lant efforts made by Candlish, his opponent passed under Hammersmith -bridge a clear length ahead, and although frequently menaced by the desperate spurts of his oppo nent, Messenger continued to lead, and finally won by above a clear length, after be;ng retarded by a foul just before coming in. Candlish, who exhibited the most determined game to the very close of the match, was very much distressed by his exertions at the finish. The race was rowed with an indifferent tide in 24i minutes, and the winner's style of rowing was the theme of gene ral admiration. Betting was for the most part even bat in some instances 5 to 4 on Messenger. THE ARMY.—Captain John Jago, Lieut: Hon. J. Colborne, Lieut. H. R. Wolrige, Ensign W. J. Hunt, Ensign G. K. Blake, Ensign N. S. Crummins , and Assistant-Surge on W. Lapsley, are under orders to em bark from Chatham, on the 24th, a t Gravesend , for Madras, with detachments, in the freight-ship Lord George Bentinck, WATERFORD AND LIMERICK. The extension of this company's line from Fiddown to Dunkitt, having been approved by the Government Inspector, is to be opened this week. ILEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. ( From the Registrar-General's Report.) The total number of deaths registered in London) which in the preceding week was 984, rose in the week that ended on Saturday to 1,053. Excluding from the comparison the corresponding week of 1849, in which cholera raised the mortality from all causes to 2,456, it appears that the result of last week does not differ mate rially from the average as corrected for increase of popu lation. _ _ _ _ Summer cholera andaliarrhcea exhibit a small decrease in the present as compared with the previous return. The deaths ascribed to diarrhcea are 126, of which 115 occurred among children. The tender age of nearly all the sufferers, 97 of them not having completed their first year, is sufficient to dispel the popular error that the use of fruit is the exciting cause. Smallpox was fatal in only 5 cases, measles in 13, scarlatina in 27, hooping cough in 28, ague in one, typhus in 48. The following are the details of 10 cases of cholera registered in the week : In the sub-district of St. Paul, Deptford, in High street, on the 14th of August, a gasfitter, aged 33 years, died of "English cholera." In Lewisham villarge, at' 4, North , cottages, on the 14th of August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 6 years, tc E n glish cholera (24 hours)." At 8, Vine-place, Bond-street, Vauxhall, on the 17th of August, the son of a lighterman aged 5 months, " choleraic diarrhcea (46 hours)." In Elm-grove, Plumstead-common, on the 7th of August, the son of a mercantile clerk, aged 2 years, " cholera (10 hours), convulsions (2 hours)." Post mortem. In St. James's Westminster, at 3, Bentinck-street, on the 15th of August, the daughter of a porter, aged 5 months, "summer cholera." In St. James's, Westminster, at 35, Great Windmill street, on the 12th of August, the widow of a iinen manufacturer, aged 68 years, " English cholera (8 days)." In Hoxton Old Town, at 7, Little John-street, on the 13th of August, the son of a leather dresser, aged 7 weeks " cholera infantum (7 days)." In St. George's-in-the East, at 15, King-street, on the 13th of August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 4 years, " English cholera (24 hours.") In St. George's-in-the-Elst, at 3, Providence-street, on the 12th of August, the son of a horsehair curler, aged 1 year, " English cholera (2 days)." At Prospect•house, Old Kent-road, on the 14th of August, the widow of a silversmith, aged 92 years, "English cholera (1 week). In the sub-district of Woolwich Arsenal, at 4, Edward street, on the 17th of August, a house-painter, aged 17 years, died of "petechial typhus (13 days)." Mr. Rixon, the registrar, states that " a twin brother died of the same disease, in the same house, on the 24th of July last. The father reports that the watercloset adjoins the sit ting-room, and the water from it (he thinks) runs under the floor." In the south sub-district of the city of London, at 11, Fivefoot-lane, on the 14th of August, the daughter of a basket-maker, aged 1 year, died of " scarlatina (4days)." Mr. Wickes, the registrar, says—" This is the third death in the same house, though not the same family ; the first occurred on the 31st of July, the second on the 7th of August. In Waterloo sub-district (Ist part), Lambeth, at 6, Isabella-place, on the 12th of August, the daughter of a labourer, aged 2 months, died of " diarrhcea (7 days)." Mr. Mears, the registrar, writes as follows :—" This filthy hole, (Isabella -place, Broadwall) is at all times rife with disease and death. 'My only surprise is that any human beings can exist in such an atmosphere ; yet every one of the seven or eight hovels it contains, some of two, others of four rooms, has a family in each room. There is neither air, light, nor ventilation of any kind. I do not register probably one-fifth of the fatal cases originating in this place, as many persons are removed to the workhouse or Fever Hospital, and are registered there. My return of this week is the largest in my sub-district since the period of cholera. Fever and diarrhcea are increasing. In the Borough-road sub-district, in the workhouse, on the 12th of August, the son of a labourer, aged 6 years, died of "typhus." He had been brought from 7, Little Suffolk-street, which (says Mr. Elliott, the re gistrar), "is only two doors from the house referred to in my return of the 6th inst. The houses Nos. '8 and 9 were then described as in a filthy condition." In South Hackney, at Wood's-yard, Well-street, on the 12th of August, the son of a shoemaker, aged 5 years, " natural death, caused by fever from bad drain age." Inquest. Mr. Steib, the registrar, adds :—" Two other children of the same parents are lying ill of fever from the same cause. One privy serves all the houses ; one pump supplies all the houses in the yard. The drains being defective, the filth finds its way into the well, which is close to this house, through which a drain passes, emitting a nauseous and unwholesome smell." The following additional cases are selected from the returns :—The daughter of a shipwright, aged 7 days, died of " eczema (3 days.)" In the Surrey County Lu natic Asylum, a woman, aged 33 years, died of " chorea with paralysis." At 4, Railway-place, Plumstead, on the 12th of August, the son of a carpenter, aged 2 years, " pemphigus gangrenosus." The son of a porter, aged 12 months, " bronchitis (12 months), varicella (2 weeks,) pneumonia double." Two persons died from intemperance. Four cases of carbuncle occurred :—At 4, Anchor street, Bethnal-green, on the 16th of August, a horse hair manufacturer, aged 66 years, "apoplexy, carbuncle (6 weeks), debility (2 weeks)." At 1, Wellington-place, Borough-road, on the 19th of August, a journeyman butcher, aged 61 years, died of " carbuncle (5 weeks)." The medical attendant appended the following note to his certificate :—" This case was neglected from the first,—viz., three weeks ago. The informant (his wife) stated that the neglect arose from the aversion deceased had to receive medical treatment under any circumstancs. He had treated his complaint as a boil for the first three weeks." At 2, Tothill-court, Westminster, on the 13th of August, a spinster, aged 45 years, " carbuncle and exhaustion." In St. Bartholomew's Hospital, from 11, Poppin's-court, Fleet-street, on the 11th of August, the widow of a jeweller, aged 60 years, "carbuncle." Last week the births of 775 boys and 743 girls, in all 1,518 children, were registered in London. la the eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 the average number was 1,348. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 29 . 736 in.

The mean temperature of the week was 60.4 deg., which is slightly below the average of the same week in 38 years. It was below the average on the first five days of the week, but on Friday and Saturday rose 4 deg. above it.'

She was attended by several eminent medi cal men with littleior no benefit, and ultimately an ab seem formed under the chin. All the usual remedies having failed to give her the slightest relief, she deter mined on using Holloway's Ointment and Pills, and these surprising medicines entirely cured the abscess, and restored her to better health than she ever before enjoyed.—Sold hp all druggists, and at Profes sor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand, London.
