THE CHOLERA. of Health, dated September 20, 1853, in no wise super• sede these powers. While the facts are so, the board of guardians are adopting preoautionarymeasures. Theyhave given instrue. tions to the medical staff and the relieving-officers to report all nuisances in their respective districts, that effective means may be taken for their abatement or removal. Directions have been &so given for the instant report of the occurrence of any diseases having a choleraic ten dency, and authority has been given to call exigency meetings of the Board. The corporation have also de termined to put in force the Nusanccs Removal Act. WOOLWICH, SEPT. 24. NEW SCALE OF PETTY OFFICERS' AND SEAMEN'S PRAYERS FOR DELIVERANCE PROM THE CHOLERA. On the other hand, they direct their active enforce. ment. ALLOTMENTS. The following circular has just been issued by the Ad miralty. Chief petty officers and first class working petty officers will now be permitted to allow their wives ss. more per month than formerly was allowed under the old and present scale ; second class working petty offi cers, 4s. ; leading seamen, 4s. ; and if engaged for con tinuous service, 7s. ; shipwrights, 3s. ; and if engaged for continuous service, 7s. ; ordinary seamen, 4s. ; and second class seamen, 3s. The increase of pay to petty officers and seamen will be better understood when it is stated that petty officers, including leading seamen, now receive of every rating 7s. 9d. per month of 31 days more than their former pay ; ordinary seamen, ss. 2d. ; and second class seamen, 2s. 7d. The increase in pay does not include good conduct pay or allowance in lieu of grog. Leading seamen on continuous service have 12s. 11d. of additional pay per month : Yesterday solemn prayers for deliverance from the threatened visitation of the cholera were offered up in the several places of worship of the various denominations of dissenters, and in the Roman Catholic chapels through out the metropolis. In the parish churches and chapels of the established religion the ordinary prayer for delive rance from sickness was read and fervently repeated. The congregations at morning and afternoon services were extremely numerous. Boards of guardians are directed to see to the execu tion of the regulations of the General Board of Health, but it is for the Local Board of Health to execute them , All persons in the district who have complaint to make in respect to the matters above stated, should make complaint to the inspector of nuisances to the Local Board. Under the directions and regulations of the General Board of Health, the Board of Guardians of the Union have acquired new powers, namely, of— Medical inspection by their officers of unhealthy localities. ~At Bilston, where the mortality was so fearful in -1832, there are fewer cases of diarrhma than is usual at this season of the year ; but the board of commissioners, with a recollection of the unexampled severity with which the pestilence afflicted the town on each occasion when it has visited this country, are busily engaged in preparing to cope with it as far as human agency can. Sewers are being trapped, nuisances removed, and the materials for whitewashing provided for gratuitous use. This board has already done much in other respects to improve the health of the town. At Wolverhampton, Dudley, and Wednesbury, the local boards of health are also earnestly engaged in similar preparations. It may be interesting to note that the disease seems to be developing itself at a later period than in 1849. In that year the first case of cholera which occurred at Bilston was on the 6th of August ; at Wolverhampton about the same time ; and at Tipton on the 13th. These were the first cases in the mining district. The disease did not reach Birmingham—where, however, only about 20 cases occurred, and these chiefly imported, not indi genous—until the 13th of September. From Birming ham it disappeared in about a fortnight • in the district it raged until the , 20th of Octobe r.—Birmingham Journal. NEWCASTLE.

Providing for the removal of the sick, or of other oc cupants of the same premises. These duties, which are here stated to belong to I Boards of Guardians, are not within the province of the Local Board of Health - but the Local Board and the Board of Guardians will co-operate in doing all that can and ought to be done under their joint powers. But, however desirous the Local Board of Health and the Board of Guardians may be to carry out their duties, now that a formidable epidemic has appeared in the country, they must have the active aid of people of all classes, in bringing to the notice of the Boards matters requiring their attention ; in avoiding the creation of nuisances ; in removing those already existing ; and in giving warning, instruction, and help to the best of their power. In the same period—viz., the first 23 days during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2, the num ber of deaths was 180. The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Gatesh ea d t o th e presen t d a t e h a s been 277. Daring the like period—viz., the first 17 days in 1831-2, the deaths amounted to 130.

The board have authorised the printing for popular information of short and sim ple handbills, intended respectively for places having local boards of health, and for places where the execution of the directions falls entirely on boards of guardians. To gether with some simple sanitary directions, which, trite as they may seem, are habitually disregarded by many, they have also prepared the simple directions appended for the nse of sailors, in the event of cholera occurring on shipboard.

A few insulated cases of cholera have appeared in some of the large towns in Scotland, but it does not appear to have fixed itself seriously in any of them. The public authorities are making strenuous efforts to remove all predisposing causes, and have taken time by the forelock in appointing medical officers equal to any emergency that may occur. At Aberdeen, besides the legal proclamations ordered by the Board of Health, the magistrates have published the following "precau tions" in handbills all over the city : "1. Cholera is not so suddenly fatal, as is supposed; it comes on with looseness, or bowel complaint, which goes on for some hours, or even for a day or two ; there is often no pain, but no one must be off his guard by this circumstance, but must immediately, when purging comes on, apply for proper medicine, by which the dis ease is usually stopped. Where cholera is prevalent in a district the neglect of this caution for a few hours may be fatal. PLAIN ADVICE TO ALL DURING THE VISI TATION OF THE CHOLERA. 1. Conform to and assist every measure of prevention or remedy put in operation by the local authorities ; for such measures are founded upon knowledge and experi ence, and are enforced by direction of Government for the public good. If you sustain inconvenience, or ap prehend danger, from any public nuisance, immediately complain, either to your local board of health, your town council, or your board of guardians, as the case may be, either of whom are fully empowered to enforce a remedy. 2. Apply yourself,as far as lies in your power, to render the chief duties of parochial and other public officers unnecessary, inasmuch as regards your own home, by the instant removal of every nuisance about it and in it. 3. It is the special duty of the authorities at all times, but imperatively so now, to have all streets, alleys, and yEsdnp c lo o uorovue u sepprrtr r :myi t ygi s hsaseeohnps. d ui a daily cleansed. But is your duty to throw no refuse into the streets, nor to collect any in your back o. ep ide m ic , hou s e h ol e s wa ter-tight. aacns v,aet e e wwyr-ao n i yuoiegrt places.h: d i avet u r e n a a g tfi Ise: v h veoaee e erkr a r be p t aho s s ash hkta n ecn o yyhnaso o annoying. ydaerrsvi na: h w:nb e . u a rneat p drg s Hgo . e ewasatnvs adte Keep:tenhithem paved or levelled. Insist upon your landlord making r r open and shut, so as to admit air and exclude moisture. dirt and damp, and where there are stinking kennels and open ditches, foul with dead animals and decayed vege tables. Avoid all such places to dwell in ; and make your children, when they go out, avoid all bad-smelling places. CHOLERA IN LAMBETEL—STUPID OBSTINACY.—On Friday morning the first fatal case of cholera which has taken place in the extensive parish of St. Mary, Lam beth, took place in Vauxhall-square. The deceased te nd family ed o n p y p e m s i r t . e A t o r t t h h n e r , L t o h n e d p o a n r i G e h a s N u V r g o e r k e n s a n A d l whose name was Michael H emm i ng, resided with hi ; s w l easffoartts to arrest the dreadful disease proved ineffectual, and the deceased died after a few hours' distressing suffering. The neighbourhood being densely populated, and the disease presenting itself in so malignant a character that Mr. Arthur considered it most desirable, both for the safety of the other persons in the house and those in the vicinity, that the remains of the deceased should be removed with the smallest possible delay, to the dead house, and from thence for interment, he forwarded a notice at once to Mr. Hogg, the parish undertaker. Mr. Hogg promptly attended with a shell and his men to re move the body, but the friends and countrymen of the deceased declared they should not do so. Remonstrances of all sorts proving unavailing, and the undertaker find ing that the feelings of the Irish in the neighbourhood were becoming very much excited, and that there was no chance of getting the body away without risking con siderable violence, abandoned the intention, and left the parties to " wake" their departed friend and countryman. In cases of this kind some power should be given to the police to enforce the interment, or, at least, the removal of the body. "2. Cholera is often brought on by improper diet. Acid fruits and vegetables , unripe fruits and uncooked vegetables, of all kinds, should be avoided. 3. Cholera is often brought on by excess even of wholesome food. The greatest moderation should be practised, both in meats and drinks, always avoiding long fasting. Ardent spirits should be taken only under medical advice. Drunkards always suffer most. "4. Cholera is often brought on by cold. Wet clothes should be immediately changed ; the feet especially should be kept warm and dry. The most violent attacks often come on immediately after incautious exposure to damp, foggy night air." PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 25, The Conflict, 8, screw-sloop was taken out to Stokes Bay again yesterday by Lieutenant G. H. Clarke, in charge of the steam reserve at this port, to make another trial with the same propeller as that she tried last Wednesday, but now cut at the four corners of the blades the length of a foot from the corner or angle of the fan. She took eight runs along the measured mile, but the weather was so squally the trials were not considered available for a sound judgment, and she will go out again to-morrow, if the weather (at present very adverse) should be favourable. The Russian frigate Aurora and a corvette are ex pected hourly at Spithead, the Vice-Consul (Ifr. Wilkin son, of Gosport), have received advice of their intended visit.

A court-martial was held on board the Queen, 116, Captain Mitchell, at Queenstown, on Thursday (Rear- Admiral Corry, president), to try Kilbury, seamen's schoolmaster of the Duke of Wellington, on the charge of having struck Commander Preedy, of that ship, on the head with a book while at Spithead a month or so since, as reported by us at the time. The prisoner ad mitted his guilt, and the charge was of course declared fully proved. He was sentenced to imprisonment in a felon's gaol for two years. The martial law empowered the Court to hang him forthwith at the yardarm. Among the on Bits in circulation in the Queenstown fleet is one that the commanders of two of the largest screw-ships of the force are likely to leave their ships, owing to not being over-comfortable with their captains. One of the said ships has had two commanders pre viously. The St. Jean d'Acre, 101, Captain the Hon. H. Kep pel, arrived at Queenstown on Thursday, and joined the fleet. She is a truly perfect ship, and most ably handled. The fleet are all making good defects, painting, &c. The ball in aid of the Sailor's Home at this port (Queens town) takes place on Wednesday next, when, from the number of naval officers and others who will patronize it, it is expected a large addition will be made to the funds of the institution. In the late cruises of the fleet, comprisintrihe time of their departure from Spithead to their arrival at Queenstown, the Prince Regent, 90 (Admiral Corry's flag-ship), and the paddle-steamer Leopard, 16, have proved themselves the smartest of the sailing division, in which the Queen, 116, has not improved in any visible respect since the last trial of an experimental squadron. The Agamemnon, screw, 91, was distanced 570 fathoms dead to windward on a trial with the Ininerieuse, screw, 51, and Tribune, 30, on the 14th inst., in a fresh breeze with much sea, ships on the port tack, under double reefed topsails and topgallant sails. The trial lasted two hours. The Tribune distanced the Imperieuse about 50 fathoms in the same trial, thus showing a superiority in point of sailing qualities over those flowers of the fleet, the Agamemnon and Imperieuse. In this trial the fid of the foretopmast" of the latter broke, which it was thought had wrung the head of the foremast, but on examination, subsequently, in Queenstown harbour, it was discovered sound. The A m phi on sai l s very we ll for a screw-vessel, but cannot steam over 5 3 / 4 knots, even at full speed. The Valorous paddle-steamer sails very fast. The Highflyer (screw) seems to have lost all her former sailing qualities, which distinguished her under Cap tains Matson and Heathcote ; she was far astern in all the trials of rate of sailing. Both squadrons were well exercised at sea in every manoeuv re of sea- The cr uise is considered to have been good on the whole for m anship, gunnery, steaming, night-qu ar t e rs, &c. exercising the young ships' companies, and they had enough of exercise to keep them well in practice with out distressing either man or officer. The stations were on the whole well kept, and the value of sailing in line of-battle and order of sailing, to the young officer, need not be expiated upon. PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 24. The Madagascar frigate was commissioned on Wed nesday, by Lieutenant J. N. Harward. She is to re lieve the Crescent receiving-ship at Rio Janeiro. The Cyclops steam-frigate, in charge of Mr. Pope, sailed on Thursday for Portsmouth and Sheerness. The Avon steam-tender, Second Master A. Veitch, sailed to-day with seamen and marines for Queenstown. It is stated that the honour of practically opening the new and important works at Keyham will be accorded her Majesty a ship Queen, 116, Captain Mitchell. She laid many months inside the breakwater before joining the fleet, and is now hourly expected. After her copper has been cleaned in one of the new docks she will pro ceed to the Mediterranean. The Valorous, 16, steam-frigate, Captain C. M. H. Buckle, having been struck by a sea, is ordered here for repairs. SUNDAY EVENING. It is reported that the St. Jean d'Acre, 100, screw ship, Captain the Hon. Henry Keppel, has received orders by the Black Eagle to proceed to the Mediterra nean. Letters fro m her, dated Thursday, state that she was to cruise off and on outside Queenstown on Friday, and enter the port on Saturday, The Leander, 50, Captain G. St. Vincent King, has had the blue peter up all day. Her original orders were to leave the Sound to-morrow for the Mediterranean. The crew were paid last Monday, and many of them are absent on leave. There has been a strong gale from the north-west all day, and it is now, 8 p.m., increasing. SHEERNESS, SEPT. 24. The Dolphin, 3, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Webber, has had her compasses adjusted at the swinging buoy, and has proceeded to the Nore to take in her by C ommodore th e Hon. Montagu Stopfo rd, powder and shells. She has been inspected, an d h er officers and crew mustered in t comma nd of the Waterloo, 120 guns. The Mariner, William A. W.alker, commander, f rom Sierra Leone, laden with African teak timb er f or h er Majesty's dockyard, has been taken into the fitting basin to facilitate her discharge. Mr. Walker reports that the Mariner has been out 78 days, that on the 9th J u l y last John Anderson, an a ble seaman , ded 25, 3 p an . onboardfrom general debility, after th e African fever ; and th at on the 7th of August. Peter C arr, the boatswain, di ed from the same cause. John Ande rson was a native of S w eden, and Peter Carr was a native of Falmouth, in Cor nwall. SEPT. i It has blown a very hard gale from the south-west, with the barometer at 28 deg. .59 sec., and rapidly fall ing. The ships in commission in port are j us t s t r iki ng topgallantinasts, and housing their topsail yards. There is every indication of a very he av y g ale . At intervals the sun is very powerful.

First Instruction—Guard against Looseness of the Bowels and Purging.--Before a person is attacked by the cholera, he is almost sure to have for a day or two, or for several days, or only for a few hours, some loose ness of the bowels or purging, there is often no pain, but this must not put any off his guard, as to the im portance of this warning. The captain or mate, ought, therefore, without alarming the men, to inquire of the crew daily, whether any of them have looseness or pur ging, as this might by chance become worse. If a man is purged let him go to bed, be kept quite warm, and if he is cold, apply bottles of hot water, or bags filled with hot salt, or bran, to the stomach and feet. Give him immediately, eight drops of laudanum in a wine glass of hot and weak brandy and water ; give the man this every two hours, as long as he is purged ; the same dose should be given night and morning for one or two days after the purging has stopped. Second Instruction—What is to be done if a man is seized or taken with cholera.—This comes on with cold, giddiness, sickness, vomiting and purging of what looks like dirty water, or rice and water. Let the man get into a hot bed ; cover him well with blankets ; apply bottles of hot water, or bags filled with hot salt, sand, or bran to the stomach spine, and "fde ; - be sure he is exposed to a draught or cold, the object being to get him into a sweat. Put a large poultice of mustard and vine gar over the stomach, and keep it on 15 or 20 minutes. Give the man 15 drops of laudanum, with a teaspoonful of brandy (or whisky or other spirit in the absence of brandy) in a little hot water ; a little ginger or cloves may be added. This medicine nay be given every hour for six hours, but not longer ; it must then be left off. When the man begins to sweat give him some hot tea, with a teaspoonful of brandy in it, and keep him warm in bed. Third Instruction.—When the ship is in port, medical advice should be got as soon as possible, in any case of seizure, as the delay of even one hour may cause death. Fourth Instruction--On Food.—All kinds of fruit, s-lads cucumbers, celery, and pickles had better be avoided ; also oysters, lobsters, crabs, muscles, or other shell fish. The most wholesome articles of food are well baked bread, good biscuits, rice, oatmeal, peas, and good potatoes ; solid food is better than fluid, and therefore at this time it would be a good thing to give the crew beef and mutton instead of soup. Fifth Instruction—On the Danger of Spirits, Corn Brandy, Wine, Beer, &c.—lt is a very common notion among sailors and other people that brandy, whisky, rum, wine, and the like, are good as a protection against the cholera. This is a total and fatal mistake. In every country and town where the cholera has broken out drunkards, and those who drink freely, have been the first and greatest sufferers from the disease ; temperate men usually escape, drunkards usually die. It is, there fore, earnestly hoped and requested that captains will warn their crews against all excess in drinking. More especially warn them from taking corn brandy or gin, which often acts as a poison ; they should also not drink any of the white and brown beer sold at Hamburgh and other ports, especially if it is sour. The Elbe water is bad, and likely to purge, therefore it would be better to use water brought from England, and captains are re commended to take in a supply accordingly. Sixth Instruction—Against exposure to Wet and Cold. —Wet and cold should as much as possible be guarded against, by warm dry clothing, and stout shoes ; a thick flannel belt or bandage around the stomach and loins is a good defence for sailors ; when they go to bed, if the shirt is damp or wet, they should change it, and put on a dry one. They should not stop out at night on shore : many sailors who have been drinking at Hambro' Bar, and lying about on Sunday night, have been seized on Monday with cholera, and died in a few hours. Seventh Instruction —Concerning Cleanliness and Ventilation. Nothing is of greater importance as a pro tection against cholera than cleanliness, and a good supply of fresh pure air. It is, therefore, the duty of captains to take all the means in their power to improve and keep up the health and strength of their crews, who are placed under their care and protection. The owners aro particularly requested on the return of their ships to English ports to see these instructions complied with. The forecastle should be frequently cleansed, and the hatches be opened in fine weather, so as freely to admit the fresh air. The forecastle should be whitewashed. To sweeten the ship, bleaching salt or powder (called also chloride of lime), which is very cheap and may be got at any druggists, should be mixed with water, and poured down the pumps ; it should also be sprinkled about the forecastle and in the cabins. Beep the ship as free as possible from bilge water, using the pumps daily for this purpose, because it prevails most when ships are very tight, and open the hatches to purify the hold. All the bedding should be kept well dried, and be brought on deck in fine weather, and well aired. Mark this well.—The cholera is not contagious ; so no one need be afraid of catching it; there is no danger in waiting on and nursing any one of the crew who may unfortunately be attacked. The captains of all vessels trading to the port of Hamburgh are hereby informed that proper medicine, ready made up for use, and with plain directions, can be procured at prime cost of all the shipbrokers and agents for English ships in Hamburgh, and they are hereby re quested to provide themselves with the same, in order to afford all the protection to their crews which the cir cumstances of the case admit. _ _ Signed by order oTthe6eneral Board of Health of England, HENRY AUSTIN, Secretary. October 18, 1848. REMOVAL OF NUISANCES AND PREVENTION OF DISEASE. (By authority of the Local Board of Health.) The Local Board of Health feel it their duty to in form all persons that under the Public Health Act, 1848, they have power to provide for— The cleansing of streets. The removal of filth, dung, dust, ashes, and rubbish therein. _ . . The keeping in order of water-closets, privies, and drains. The filling up or covering of places used for the collec tion of liquid filth. The removal of any nuisance from pigstyes. The whitewashing and cleansing of filthy or unwhole somesome houses. And, under the Common Lodging-houses Act, the regulation of common lodging-houses. The directions and regulations of the General Board 4. Look to the inside of your dwelling, as well as out side, to get rid of nuisances. Are the walls and ceilings dirty or mouldy ? At the cost of a shilling or two they may be limewhited. This has been found one of the most effectual preventatives of cholera. Avoid, if pos sible, crowding your sleeping-rooms. If there is a chimney in a bed-room, keep it open, and have no chimney-board, or chest of drawers, to stop it up. It would be good to make a hole, three or four inches square, near the ceiling, into the chimney—a very easy ventilator. Get pure air into your rooms by every pos sible means, and get rid of the foul air in the most effec tual manner. If there is a constant offensive smell within your dwelling, which other people as well as yourself notice, be sure that there is danger at hand ; and never rest till you have ascertained the cause, and have got it removed, as far as possible. Complain to the landlord ; if he neglects you, complain to those who have to enforce "The Nuisances Removal Act." If you cannot get the nuisance removed, you ought to pre pare to remove from the nuisance. If you go to other lodgings or houses, go to those where there has been no fever. There are houses, with no fault of construction, that are always disagreeable to the senses. They are the abodes of sluttishness—the forerunner of disease. The person is seldom clean when a dwelling is dirty. Personal cleanliness and house cleanliness are both health-givers, and are of vital importance when the ele ments of disease and death are around us. 5. This advice, with regard to your dwelling, assumes that you live in a populous town ; but the principles on which the advice is founded hold good, whether you dwell in a village, or even in a lone cottage. All places, it is to be feared, have their nuisances. If there is a dungheap at your threshold, remove it to a distance. If a foul ditch, or cesspool, stir yourself to have a change. If the pigsty is offensive, cleanse and wash h daily. Have no poultry or rabbits within doors. In a word, get dirt and damp away from your house and out of your house, and get pure into it. Be clean yourself, and have everything clean about you. 6. Having looked to your dwelling within and with out, consider what is best for your welfare as to food and clothing. Whenever cholera is present in a locality, there is a general tendency to irritation of bowels, and warm clothing and wholesome food are more than ever necessary. These happily are within the reach of the great body of the people. The extreme poor must be righteously cared for in these respects out of the abun dance of the more fortunate; but all have in their power to avoid what is hurtful. Avoid cold ; but make your self strong by exercise in the open air, if your employ. ment is within doors. The same duty of exercise applies to all your family, male and female. If there is any food or drink injurious at ordinary times, it is doubly injurious when there is pestilence in the atmosphere. Be very careful not to drink impure water ; and take heed that wells are not polluted, and that water-butts and cisterns are kept cleansed. Spend less money on beer and other drinks, and spend more on flannel and coals. 7. The following personal precautions against cholera proceed from the General Board of Health : " Cholera is not so suddenly fatal as is supposed ; it comes on with looseness or bowel complaint, which goes on for some hours, or even for a day or two. There is often no pain ; but no one must be put off his guard by this circumstance, but must immediately, when purging comes on, apply for proper medicine, by which the dis ease is usually stopped. Where cholera is prevalent in a district, the neglect of this caution for a few hours may be fatal. " Cholera is often brought on by improper diet. Tainted meat and fish, and damaged vegetables, should be carefully avoided. " Cholera is often brought on by excess even of whole. some food. The greatest moderation should be practised both in meats and drinks, always avoiding long fasting. Ardent spirits should be taken only under medical ad vice ; drunkards always suffer most. " Cholera is often brought on by cold. Wet clothes should be immediately changed ; the feet especially should be kept warm and dry. The most violent at tacks often come on immediately after incautious ex posure to damp foggy night air." 8. If an attack, even the slightest, should come on in your household, you must immediately apply for medical assistance. Arrangements will be made in every locality to render such assistance promptly and effectually ; there is no disease which can be more readily met than cholera in its first or premonitory stage. In cases of d iarrhoea, or looseness of bowels, the following medicine is recom mended by the Board of Health, but avoid, if you can, exercising your own judgment i n giving medicine at all : " 20 grains of opiate confection, mixed with two table spoonfuls of peppermint-water, or with a little weak brandy and water, and repeated every three or four hours, or oftener if the attack is severe. Half the quan tity to persons under 15 ; smaller doses to children." 9. If the disease assume a violent form before help can be obtained, put the sufferer into a warm bed, apply bottles of hot water, or heated flannel, to the stomach and feet, and along the spine. A dessert spoonful of brandy may be given from time to time in hot water. Constant friction with flannel dipped in hot vinegar is recommended, as well as the application of a vinegar and mustard poultice over the belly. A. prudent person will have the necessary articles at hand ; but prompti tude in getting assistance is the first duty. By night or by day send for the doctor ; and such is the zeal of the medical profession that the humblest person will not send in vain. 10. If any of the evil habits and neglects referred to in this advice exist in yourself or your family, begin to alter such habits and avoid such neglects without an hour's delay. The desired change to enable you to meet this epidemic disease is good for every other, and an im mediate preparation may save a vast amount of misery. The condition of the human body cannot be altered at once, but the practices which tend to an evil condition may be instantly changed. In days you may effect a change which you cannot effect in hours. 11. Whether the disease of cholera come into your household or you be spared, keep up your spirits ; have no vain fears ; relax no industry ; shrink not from as sisting your neighbours ; and put your trust in Him in whose hands are the issues of life and death. THE PUBLIC HEALTH OF BIRMINGHAM AND THE DISTRICT. It gives us much gratification to state that the health of Birmingham and the numerous towns in the mining districts around continues in a satisfactory condition. In Birmingham during the last week, there has been a slight increase in the number of attacks of diarrhcea. ; but the disease is generally of a mild type, and the fatality has diminished. In all diseases there is a great diminution. Up to last Saturday the total number of patients under the care of the parish medical officers was 553, and the deaths, 4 ; in the corresponding week last year the patients numbered 610, and the deaths were 14. There was some excitement caused on Wednesday by TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Some time since I saw in your esteemed journal an article in vindication of the proposed legalisation of affinity marriages. As is well known, the present Re corder of London, Mr. Wortley, introduced a bill with this aim, but afterwards dropped action, declaring that Scotland was against the change. I deny the assertion. Scotland is not against the change--but multitudes in Scotland are afraid to open their mouths. They are gagged and fettered, and the principle of the alteration of the law (if, indeed, in Scotland an alteration of the law be requisite) does not come home to their business and bosoms. This is not exactly a case where men choose to speak out in defiance of ecclesiastical fulmina tions. In this place, whoever I spoke with, (and they were persons of no mean understanding) what was called the Affinity Marriages Bill was approved of in every ease save two, and the argument set up was utterly absurd : in the one instance, that a text in the Old Testament Scriptures was against such unions, though the entire contrary be the case ; in the other, that legal permission should not be granted to form such unions lest it should fret the wife during her lifetime. The Scripture and reason are demonstrably on the side of the concession, which should never have been required. I need scarcely remind you that the saintly Dr. Chalmers was on the side of affinity marriages. He read the " Book of Life" devoutly and intelligently--he read it as a "Bible Chris- .., ti 111 , " and he could th e r e find nothing advers e t o view I presume to advocate. 'Since his lamented de. -- cease, a very able man, a professor of theology in one of our strictest sects, the United Presbyterian Church, has stood forward in vindication of the truth ou this subject. Others of his order would, I believe, do the same, but they are afraid to think on the point, or dread hostile sentiment among their brethren. As for petitions from the Church Courts, these are to be taken as matter of course--as common-place actions ; and petitions other wise are such easy affairs, that they might be had for the establishment of a republic, the banishment of all Ro man Catholics from the United Kingdom, or almost any thing whatever. The people of Scotland have never yet properly spoken out on the subject, and perhaps not a great many of them have taken it into consideration. There are cases in human life where the arguments pro and con are about of equal weight. In other in stances of debate the party who has not the best cause may have a good account to give of his convictions. At times, although we oppose certain opinions, we are com pelled to allow that they are such as a wise and good man might hold. The opponents of the just and rational arrangement under notice are here decidedly at fault. However able as reasoners—however enlightened as theologians— when their hostility is made to wear the form of reasoning, it is at once found to be weak and vicious. This was particularly exemplified in respect to a case which came under adjudication at the last meet ing of the United Presbyterian Synod at Edinburgh. A. member of that church, a female, had contracted an affinity marriage, and was in consequence excommuni cated as asi nner unworthy of church privileges. The poor woman appealed to the highest jurisdiction in her communion. Illness prevented the offender from being present ; but as she explained, supposing that she could attend, she would not feel herself at liberty to speak 'in an ecclesiastical court. In the United Presbyterian Synod lawyers are not permitted to appear for or against parties, and the individual would have been left wholly undefended, had not a gentleman belong ing to the congregation of the accused volunteered to be her representative. At this point was brought out the truth of what I have advanced as to the poor figure cut by the adverse party. Men of talent, of logi cal power, and fluent eloquence, spoke in the debate, but only to display weakness and perversity. Contrast ing the appearance of those theologians, on this occa sion, with others more becoming and more characteristic, you might picture forth the strong and active man run ning a giant's race, or wielding a giant's prowess, and the same individual shorn of his strength, and grovel ling on the floor in a fit of apoplexy. The truth is, neither Scripture nor reason could be consistently ad duced in respect to the judgment. The same result, and more strongly marked, willbe noti ce d i n cases where inferior minds are concerned. Where feeling and senti mentalism are made to supply the place of argument, we have the most gross inconsistency—for we are suffi ciently aware that the man of maudlin emotion would repudiate',"nd protest against bein g aff ec t e d i n hi s own case by such inferior and fickle influences—which may be employed in any way, and are often on the side of sin and error. But, say some here, the Westminster Confession (used as a subordinate standard of the Presbyterian Beets) is against affinity marriages. I could wish to find it determined by authority as to whether casuistical matter found in this book has the force of law within the realm of Scotland. If so, it is time that the Legislature inter pose for the relief of the people, as in this very case it has already substantially done. Witness the toleration of Dissenters, the emancipation of the Romanists, and the renunciation by the civil magistrate of the power to persecute Separatists—all contrary to this very code. To hold a nation of civilised, educated people, with the Bible in their hands, to be the abject subjects of canons made by fallible men some centuries back in a village near your place of business, is rather too bad. On many points I agree with the Westminster Confession, but would repel it as an authority to bind the conscience, or to determine the civil actions of the citizen. Let those to whom that standard is a link connecting them with benefices in the Church uphold its dicta. It is matter of wrong and dangerous policy to allow ecclesiastics to dictate the arrangements of society. We know the use made by the Church of Rowe of the "prohibited de grees." We know that the ancient ecclesiastical laws against usury would have stopped the business of human life, and have left the people starving and unemployed. To assume that a Protestant people arc ever to be the slaves of the Westminster Confession is to hold them more infelicitously situated than the Papists themselves. Le countries decidedly . Roman Ca tholic, the canons of the oecumenical Council of Trent, so far at least as regards discipline, have been but par tially received—an election be in g made betwixt those regarded as suitable and proper, and those regarded as unnecessary or impolitic or injurious.

If any one ventures on such an assertion, he has no authority for making it. —I a m, Sir, &c., Edinburgh, 1853. SCOTUS. ,
