The high price at which it hrs hitherto been sold has prevented its gereral use; to obviate this obstacle to its universel apu'ication as a disin:ecting and purifying agent, the present ruanurecturer, who was many years with Sir W.

The following testimonial is another proof of the great effi cacy of this medicine : 157, New Bond-street, London, October 12, 1850. " Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout to my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 15th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during one of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to ate is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS !s towards its improvement. " I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, GARRET FOSTER GILL "To Mr. Front, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAI WS GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS are a sovereign remedy, contain neither me-cury, opium, or any other dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

War !8 frequently denounced as the consumers of life and property, but there are some contests which preserve the former in the greatest comfort, and are the means of increasing the latter in a surpassing degree. The East and West-end powers of E. Moses and Sox are concen trated to resist the unpleasant invasions of North winds and all in auspicious seasons, and the success their new Attire for Autumn and Winter will have is past calculation ; suffice it to say, all the fabrics that Art and Manufacture can produce have been carefully selected, All that skill and experience c uld introduce for novelty and com fort has been incorporated for the production of Winter Attire, such as is destined to surpass that of any previous season ; and while all classes may avail themselves of the most fashionable and the cheapest Clothing ever offered, the vast stock just prepared by E. MOSES and Sox will afford admirable opportunities for selecting the best Goods in each department of their gigantic Establishments. An unparalleled Stock of elegant and useful articles is provided in the Hosiery Department. The fiat, Cap, and Fur Section is replete with every novel intro duction for the season.

The Cam lla is a steamer purchased by the Royal M ail Comy for pan this particular service, and has been fitted specially for it, her speed being II knots an hour, and her accommo dations for passengers very excellent. The Prance will, we believe, return home for a refit. The Great Westernt is appointed to take out the mails of the 10th inst. o the Brazils and River Plate, the 9th falling on a Sur!. day.

PROPOSED MINING STOCIC-EXCHANGE.—A meeting was held at the Bull Hotel, Bishopsgate-street, on Thursday evening, to consider the establishment of a Mining Stock -Exchange, to be conducted on a system similar to the Corn, and Coal Exchanges ;—it appearing that at present no facilities, or place of assembly, existed for transactions connected with the increasing business of mining advonture, the main objeet being to place the purchase and sale of mining shares under proper rule and regulation, and to abolish those discreditable prac tices that are understood to attach to operations con nected with that class cf opeculation. / , - —...., . ~... , - ~- .-----'---) .„.........._/./ , V ( '''.' • -1-- . f ,e . . • .., ---/--/' / .`... 7 --"--' .., . 4 , ..- ,a ,- NA f'' 1 , 'T Ar -•,' N - .

While the artillery were firing in front, the infantry were drawn up in three lines, one behind the artillery, and two others in reserve. The enemy still advancing, the artillery made a rapid movement in retreat, and formed on the right of the line, and in spaces left for that purpose at intervals along the line. Infantry and artillery now commenced a tremendous fire upon the advancing enemy. Moro effective file firing than that which the infantry poured in has seldom been heard. The guns were also served with extreme rapidity, and the extraor dinarily rapid and incessant discharge of cannon and small arms was deafening. The fire of the Chasseurs de Vincennes along such a line must be most destructive to the enemy's cavalry, and many French officers contend that infantry so armed need not fear a charge of cavalry whenever the,;r approach can be discovered at a reasonable dis tance. Marshal St. Arnaud is said to have given instructions to General Canrobert to try and solve the question whether the infantry of the line can he trained to the exercise and duties of the Chas seurs de Vincennes. General Lourmel has written a pamphlet to show that all the line ought to have the 3linie rifle, and undergo the training of the Chasseurs de Vincennes. It is clear that if Gen. Lourmel and the officers who have served with the Chasseurs in Africa are right in sasing that the rifle musket is as e ffi cac i ous at 800 yards as " Brown Bess" is at 200 yards, any advancing columns would have received a most destructive fire from such a line as was now drawn up, before they could return a single shot with effect. The enemy, however, still advancing, were sup posed to attempt to turn the French right. The first line prepared to retire under cover of a strong line of sharp-shooters and riflemen, and the second line were ordered to change front and to advance in the direction of the enemy, supported by the artillery. The second line then in turn threw in a most destructive fire, which lasted for several minut! . .es. These manucevres had been performed in a storm of wind and rain ; and as every soldier upon the ground, including the Emperor, who dis dained to wear a coat or cloak, was drenched to the • . , and as the rain showed no signs of abatement, a a e manoeuvres came to an abrupt termination, t. _ rder was given to cease firing. An immense square was then formed, and the Emperor, sur rounded by his staff, placed himself in the centre and distributed several decorations of the Legion of Honour—a ceremony which the Empress wit nessed from her carriage. By far the most remark able personage in the brilliant group which sur rounded the Emperor was the Prince Napoleon, who acted as aide-de-camp to his Imperial cousin. The prince, mounted upon a grey charger, in the dress of a lieutenant-general, and wearing the grand cordon of the Legion of Honour, presented a mar vellous resemblance to his uncle. He has the Em peror's features, his deep sunk eye, his olive com plexion, and round shoulders ; the prince is more corpulent than the Emperor was at his age, but, as his " make up" is perfect, one might have sup posed the " Little Corporal" was looking on upon the distribution of the rewards. The troops now and then broke out in cries of " Vive l'Empereur," and " Vive l'Emperatrice," but as every soldier had now been exposed for five or six hours to a searching rain, the enthusiasm was of the mildest character. After the distribution the Emperor slowly proceeded round the interior of the square. It is observed that when the Emperor approaches the standard of each regiment he gives his horse the spur, and makes him bound towards the eagle. The Emperor is an admirable horseman, riding in the English style, and while his horse is executing this little theatrical movement his Majesty grace fully raises his hat and salutes the colours. The review over, their Majesties returned to St. Omer, and the troops to their encampment at Helfaut. At 7 o'clock the Emperor and Empress honoured with their presence a grand banquet, given by the city of St. Omer to their Majesties and the Ministers, Marshals, and members of their suite. At this banquet, AS well as at the ball by which it was followed, the :English military representa tives were treated with marked attention and cour tesy by their Majesties. A few days after the Emperor's visit the camp was broken up. It is said that a large body of troops will be re-assembled at Helfa.nt next year.— Times. AUSTRALIAN POST-OFFICE DELIN- QUENCLES. The negligence and carelessness of the Colonial Postmasters and Post-office clerks form a prominent feature of complaint in the Australian papers re ceived by the last and by former mails. The trans mission of letters from one town and colony to ano ther is slow and uncertain. Frequently letters do not come to hand at all; more frequently their transmission and delivery are delayed many days, and even weeks. In Sydney and Melbourne the great banking-houses, commercial firms, and mana gers of public companies alone receive the letters addressed to them with something akin to regula rity, probably because it would, perhaps, not be safe to exasperate those who have the means of en forcing redress. But persons of little importance and influence have to wait and petition before the correspondence is delivered to them. If they write letters they are never certain as to the time those letters will be forwarded to their destination. At the diggings this state of things is much worse ; owing to the badness of the roads, the mails come in and go out with provoking irregularity. The great post-offices of the colonial capitals are slow to acknowledge the existence of new dig gings and of fresh communities of gold seekers. It takes much time, it requires many angry complaints in the local papers, before the official dignitaries at Sydney or Melbourne can be in duced to appoint a postmaster for a newly peopled district, and to find for that district a couple of messengers and bags. Thus much do the papers say of Post-office mismanagement within the co lony. As for the transmission of correspondence to England, and the delivery of letters from the mother country, the complaints are still more fre quent and acrimonious. We have now before us a curious document signed by 52 gold diggers of Forest Creek, Castlemaine, which corroborates in every respect the statements which the colonial papers contain of the gross neglect that charac terises the whole conduct of Australian adminis tration, but which in no one department makes itself so generally and painfully felt as in those Post-offices, which appea r t o b e es t a bli s h e d f or th e retention ost-office a s n , d suppression of correspondence. Well may the poor diggers of Forrest Creek denounce the system as a system of robbery. " Seldom," say they, " does a letter from friends —from wife, sister, or brother--ever reach the unfortunate immigrant. We travel about 70 miles to Melbourne for a letter. We live at great expense while there. It costs us at least 12s. per day. We spend hours, for days together, under a burning sun, before we can see an impertinent clerk, who, with perfect coolness, informs us there are no letters—aye, often without looking. If this answer does not dismiss the applicant, we fre quently find a letter is at last given, and the post mark and date prove that the letter has been lying at the office for weeks past." The system as described by our correspondents 1 sets a premium on bullying.

AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. LIVERPOOL, OCT. 2. By the steamer Asia we have advices from New York to the 21st ult. She has brought .64 passen gers, among whom is Mr. R. Stephenson, M.P., and $236,000 specie on freight. The Asia passed the steamer Arabia, hence for New York, on the 28th ult., in lat. 50, long. 28 ; and at one o'clock this morning passed the steamer Canada, hence for Boston. The steamer Arctic arrived at New York from Liverpool on the 18th ult., and the steamer Hausa, from Bremen, arrived at New York on the 20th, with machinery injured. The accounts from Washington are very meagre. Neither the French nor the China mission had yet been filled. ; Mr. Mason was spoken of for the for mer. The American fishery squadron had been dis banded, the fishing season being considered over. Mr. James C. Forsyth had abkonded from New York in the steamer Atlantic for Liverpool, and taken with him between $lOO,OOO and $150,000 in cash, the property of his father and father-in law. A dispatch from New Orleans states, that fright ful accounts were reaching that city of the ravages of the yellow fever in the plantations and in the small villages along the lake and river coasts. The fever in New Orleans was on the decrease, only 24 persons having died of that disease on thel7th ult." The deaths for the week, ending on that day, were 241. At Mobile the deaths were upwards of 20 a clay. New York and its vicinity was visited by a very violent storm on the 20th ult., which almost sus pended business operations. Havannah letters of the 9th ult., published in. the New York _Herald, present a most gloomy pic ture of the state of affairs on the Island of Cuba. An epidemic of a choleratic nature, assisted by the pernicious fever, was sweeping off sailors, soldiers, negroes, and others with frightful rapidity. Some estates, numbering from 200 to 300 slaves, had been SD reduced in the space of a week that there were scarcely men enough left to bury the dead. The kidnapping of the Yucatan Indians, and taking of them to Havannah to be sold as slaves, was ex citing considerable attention. The Mexican Consul having represented this outrage to the Captain- General in the strongest language, some 60 of the Indians were brought before that functionary for examination on the 2d ult. The .New York Journal of Commerce states that the Russian, Prussian, and Austrian Ministers had given in a protest against the conduct of Captain - Ingraham. There was an improved demand for most descrip tions of securities in the New York Stock market. Erie Railroad shares opened at 84, and closed at 84 and f. Money was more freely offered on call, but for time loans there was no change. Exchange on London, 108 t to 1091; Paris, 5 161 to 5 13 1; Amsterdam, 400- to 41; Hamburg, 364 to 36 i ; and Bremen, 79 to 1 79 i. The cotton market remained quiet without ma terial change. Stock in New York was estimated at' 56,000 bales. Flour in good demand, at a slight improvement in price. Wheat in active request, without change in price. Indian corn scarcely so buoyant, for common descriptions, but firmer for the better qualities. Pork in good demand, with a steady market ; beef firm ; good brands were scarce. 300 tons of Scotch pig iron had been sold at $36 to $37 50c. at six months. Freights to London without change. cial courier had been dispatched to Washington by Mr. Clay, the United States Minister at Lima, with particulars referring to the detention of an Amen can captain at the Chinchas Islands, and of an out ! rage committed upon others by the Commander of the Peruvian guardship. It appears that the mas ter of a ship, loading guano, had been arrested and taken on board the guardship for shooting a pen guin, an offence which is punishable by fine. The other American captains in port immediately Imanrted their boats and proceeded on board the Peruvian man-of-war, for the purpose, they affirm, of paying the fine and seeing their countryman released, and that the fine was offered and refused. The commander of the Peruvian, alarmed at seeing so many men on board refusing to leave without the offender, called out his marines and drove them overboard into their boats, several being wounded in the fray. The Peruvian authorities having refused any explana tion or satisfaction the American Minister, the latter had, therefore, referred the case to his Go vernment. Rain had fallen for 24 hours to the southward. From Jamaica, whence our dates extend to the 10th ult., there is no news of interest. Our private letters from this island contain the following " Since the sailing of the last mail steamer no thing of the least importance has occurred here. A number of miners arrived in the last packet from England, and were immediately taken on their arrival to their respective mines for which they were procured ; and persons cin_gazzed in mining - operations aplicar pretty sangliine as follie - eha, of success which they are led to expect from the aspect of the affairs. " Lord John Russell's elaborate and able speech in the House of Commons, on the 4th ult., has been received with general joy and universal satisfaction, and the inhabitants appear satisfied that the Home Government are anxious, if possible, to restore Jamaica to her former condition, and much de pends upon the Colonial Legislature as to whether they will effectually carry out the intentions of the Imperial Parliament at the approaching session under the Governor, Sir Henry Barkly. " Sir Henry Barkly, the new Governor, is daily looked for, and various are the conjectures as to when he will be among us, it being rumoured that he had altered his intention of leaving in the war steamer Brisk, and would probably come in La Plata, which vessel was appointed to take the mails of the 2d inst. "We have had abundant rains, and the island just now is rather healthy, if we except a few cases of yellow fever among the troops at Newcastle bar racks, but few fatal. " Captain Henderson, the new commodore on this station, had arrived at Port Royal, and hoisted his broad pendant on board his ship Imaum, under a salute from the fort and vessels of war lying in that harbour. " The Assembly remains in the same position, evincing no inclination to transact any business with the present Governor, who, it is said, has re tired into the country at a place called Highgate, and does not intend to return to Government house till the arrival of his successor." De Cordovas Intelligeneer gives the subjoined on commercial affairs : " We have no material change to note in the state either of the import or produce-market. The non arrival of Sir Henry Barkly, and the consequently in creased delay which must occur in the settlement of our fiscal and financial affairs, have had the effect of con fining business transactions within the narrowest limits possible, as no one knows whether it would be wise or safe to sell or to buy at this juncture. At the same time dealers generally are well supplied with flour and meal, and evince no desire to increase their stocks ; the last prices have therefore been barely sustained. Codfish and herrings are, perhaps, the only articles which are wanted, and for which, in consequence of their extreme scarcity, a considerable advance on our last quotations could be obtained, to realise which, however, the re ceipts must be moderate. Fruit and native vegetables are coming in in abundance, and affect the demand for all imported breadstuffs, with the exception of rice, to a considerable extent. Rain has fallen plenteously through out the island." Grenada continued free from the visitation of any epidemic. The weather was oppressively sul try, but abundant rains had fallen. Cultivation 'VMS MOO.. 111 Xi i c l lB. -eVeryWhAge, and, but for the want of steady and continuous labour, the planters (says the St. George's Chronicle) would have nothing to complain of, so far as the productiveness of estates is concerned. St. Lucia had been visited with very heavy rains during the last week of August, whereby much damage was done to the cane plantations and villages. The St. Lucia Palladium had again ap peared after a recess of nearly four months. From St. Vincent there is little news. All offi cial account of the island exports, up to the 20th of August in the present year, is given as follows : —Sugar, 6,831 hhds., 318 tierces, 1,850 barrels ; molasses, 1,460 puncheons, 68 hhds., 122 barrels ; rum, 556 puncheons, 51 hhds., 1 quarter cask ; arrowroot, 4,197 barrels, 1,191 half-barrels, 14,525 tins and boxes ; cotton wool, 68 bales ; cocoa, 13 barrels, 15 bags ; cocoa nuts, 23,020. Compared with the shipments at the corresponding date last year, there is a deficiency equal to 2,085 hhds. of sugar. The Antigua Observer states that appearances in that island warrant the expectation of a large crop next year. An express boat had been sent to An tigua from Montserrat to beg medical assistance, yellow fever having broken out there with increased virulence. The only medical officer in the colony had fallen a victim to it. The Governor-in-Chief of the Windward Islands sailed from Antigua for Tortola on the Bth ult. Yellow fever still prevailed at Dominica, but the troops were all encamped on the heights. 'Six fatal cases of fever had occurred at Grenada, according to our private accounts, but the Grenada Chronicle states the island to be healthy. There had been some heavy weather about the islands, and two schooners went into Barbadoes on the Gth ult. dismasted. The Danish barque Hermann, bound to St. Thomas's with coals, met with a se vere gale on the 3d of September, in lat. 20, long. 56 W., the barometer falling as low as 27.30, but, being prepared, she escaped injury. The gale lasted ab6ut 12 hours. In the midst of it she passed a large ship showing American colours, with all three of her masts over the side. The English barque Westminster fell in with a hurricane in long. 52 W. on the 17th of August. From Jacmel, Hayti, we have accounts of a hur ricane which tore up the trees and did very consi derable damage. - On her homeward voyage, in lat. 34.29, long. 48.12, the Thames fell in with the w rec k o f a ves sel of about 200 tons, dismasted, decks a ll gone , an d no spars standing. She had a straight stern, painted white streak with black ports, no boats or remains of boats visible, and no cargo to be seen. The boat sent by the Thames to examine the wreck could not get very near on account of the swell and the night coming on. At St. Thomas's the weather was much unsettled, with squalls, heavy rain, and alternate calms, with intense heat. In Trinidad we learn that a recommendation of the Immigration Committee had suggested that the Chinese labourers should no longer receive wages during illness, but in lieu thereof be provided with food, lodging, and medical attendance by their employers. The United States irigate Columbia, 50, arrived at Greytown on the 27th of August, and sailed on the 31st for Pensacola. Her Majesty's screw troop ship Megvera was at Antigua. The Danish sloop of-war Saga was at Santa Cruz on the 14th ult. A. Spanish frigate was lying at Sacraficios on the 4th of September. Her Majesty's ships Imaum and Buzzard were at Port Royal, Jamaica, on the 9th ult. The Royal Mail steam-ship La Plata, with the outward mails from Southampton of the 2d of Sep tember, arrived out at St. Thomas's at 11 a.m. on the 15th ult., after a passage of 121 days, all well, and reported having had fine weather. The Avon was at St. Thomas's, and was to proceed to the Gulf of Mexico; the Clyde and the Conway, also at St. Thomas's, the former bound to Jamaica, and the latter to the windward Islands ; the Dee was expected from New York about the 7th of October, having gone there to have a new bow, and other improvements ; the Derwent was at Barbadoes, and the Eagle at Honduras ; the Esk on her way from Jamaica to St. Thomas's ; the Medway was at St. Thomas's, about to leave for the Spanish Main ; and the Teviot on the same route. We regret to announce the death of the Rev. W. J. Pal mer, M.A., rector of Finmere, Oxfordshire, father of the honourable and learned gentleman, the member for Plymouth, which event occurred on Friday last. Mr. Palmer was one of the oldest clergymen in the diocese of Oxford, having been instituted to the rectory of Mix bury 51 years since, and to the rectory of Finmere, near Bicester, which he held up to the time of his death, 40 years ago. Tlf.g FRONCII EMPEROR'S VISIT TO ;VIE L eI.2I.MP OF .HELFAUT. , The French military authorities were careful to explain to the English officers a rank who repre sented her Majesty at the Camp ati Helfaut on the occasion of the grand review of the troops by the Emperor, that the French camp had not been formed out of any rivalry - of the English military display at Chobham. The assurance was scarcely needed, for the plateau of Helfaut has for many years served as a camp of instruction for the French soldiery. A permanent camp was formed here dur ing the American war of independence. In 1826 a camp of 12,000 men was established here, and from 1827 to 1830 various bodies of troops a ssem bl e d here for military instruction... Perhaps th e mos t important event in the military history of Helfaut was the organisation of the Foot Chasseurs (Chas seurs do Vincennes), which took place here in 1840. In the following year the te n battalions of Chas seurs de Vincennes were assembled here, and mili tr y men u perceive that of e tlus ffeet n a ew eo a m r p m inte v revolution the e a serviceltiobegan nin mgh t o militaryt b be destined in the next gene ral p manoeuvres war. I believe that from 1842 to 1848 there was no encampment at Helfaut, althoug h a few troops were from time to time assembled. Since August, 1847, up to the month of May in the pre sent year, the baraques have been unoccupied. The camp at Helfaut is about four miles from St. Omer. It is farmed upon a plateau of about 65 English acres in extent, upon the heights which iethang the valley of the riv_er Aa. From these heights the eye takes in a wide and rich landscape, including St. Omer with its cathedral, and the tower of the noble abbey church ~- ) f St. Berlin, and, in the distance, the town of Caseel. Two or three springs close to the camp supply the troops with excellent water, the little river Aa being near enough for the Cavalry and Artillery to water their horses there. The tasteful manner in which the French have embellished their camp opens up a whole chapter of national contrasts between the character of the French and English soldiery. Sculptors have been found in the ranks at Helfaut to execute busts of the Emperor and Empress ; architects have de signed symbolic monuments, which decorators have ornamented with poetical devices and emblems ; and gardeners have traced out parterres and raised seats of turf in successful resemblance to various E objects of nature and art. One reg iment has in front of its barracks a parterre, representing on one side an eagle supporting the cross of 'Lae Legion of a H t o s n t o . u H r, e an lena d . on tHheeroethyeornthseawtoma largebofthe m.emdpaler in plaster, representing the Emperor and Empress, and there an escutcheon containing the Emperor's initials, and a bouquet for the Empress, artistically designed. The 3d battalion of the 48th have built a pyramid, surmounted by the military medal in plaster, and have inscribed upon the pyramid the glorious names of Jemappes, Ekmuhl, Moskowa, Staoueli, and Isly, in which battles the regiment took part. The 9th battalion exhibit in front of their baraques a construction of turf, representing the . donjon of the Castle of - Vincennes, and a foun tam rising from a basin surrounded by flowers. Hard by is an obelisk to the memory of Marshal Bugeaud, with the inscriptions, " Tifour" and " Isly" ; then a column in plaster, surmounted by a bust of the Emperor, admirably executed by a young Parisian artist, a soldier in the battalion. Most of these embellishments were commenced as soon as the troops were marched into the camp, during their first hours of leisure, but during the week previous to the Emperor's visit great exertions were made to render the camp wor thy o f th e Im perial presence. The little gardens had been newly turfed and mown, the alleys newly sanded and swept, and new sculpture and obj e ct s o f ar t were disposed in the most effective positions. The camp itself is of two parts, the old and new camp, which are about 150 yards apart. The whole camp occupies a frontage of about a mile. The English notion of a camp is a collection of tents and marquees, but the baraques at Helfaut are of wood and clay, and are rudely thatched. The bara ques of the common soldiers occupy three parallel lines in front of the camp, each baraque holding 12 men. The non-commissioned officers are a little in rear of the men, and then come by turns the huts of the subaltern and field officers. The two Generals of Brigade (General La Motte Rouge and General Besson) have their baraques completely in the rear, and isolated from the others. A rude building behind the centre of the old camp is oc cupied by General Canrobert, Aide-de-Camp of the Emperor, who has had the command of the troops assembled at Helfaut. In front of the camp, and at the edge of the heights as they are approached from St. Omer, is a chapel, in which divine service has been performed every Sunday. On the morn ing of the Emperor's visit the troops were all drawn up around this altar, and mass was performed by the Bishop of Arras. On the right of the chapel is a building constructed for Prince Napoleon (the son of Jerome), who has passed several days at the camp, and who is a great favourite with the men, as well from his singular resemblance to the first Emperor, as from the ardour which he has brought to the study of his profession. The Emperor and Empress, accompanied by the Minister of War, Marshal St. Arnaud, arrived from Lille at St. Omer at 1 o'clock on Sunday, the 25th ult., and were received at the St. Omer Rail way station by the Prince Napoleon, General Can robert, General Espinasse, and a numerous staff from the camp. Their Majesties immediately pro ceeded to the camp in a covered carriage, followed by the staff on horseback and accompanied by an escort of hussars. The rain fell heavily during the afternoon, but the entire population of St. Omer, in carriages and on foot, seemed to have poured itself into the road leading to the camp. The Imperial party proceeded at a rapid rate to the camp, where they were received by a salute of 101 guns, fired from 30 cannon of new construction, which were loaded and fired with such rapidity that in a few minutes the salute was achieved. The Emperor ' on arriving at the camp, mounted a splendid bay charger, and proceeded to inspect the troops, who were drawn up in line. The Em peror's staff here received several accessions, in the persons of the English, Prussian, and Dutch officers of rank who had been invited to attend the ma noeuvres. The English -officers who represented her Majesty on this occasion were—the Earl of Lucan, the Marquis of Worcester, Lord Bingham, Colonel Fox Strangeways, and Colonel Jones, R.E. Captain L. Bulkeley, and many other Eng lish officers, were also present. The Emperor, in passing down the line with his brilliant staff, was received with acclamations by the troops. He then rode round the camp, and examined the works of art which I have above described. He stopped be fore an excellent bust of the Empress in white stone, and learnt that it was the work of a young musician. The artist, of course, requested his Majesty to accept the bust, which was ordered to be forwarded to their Majesties at Paris. The Emperor and Empress then proceeded to the Lampe of thelCommander-in-Chief, General Can robert, where a splendid collation was prepared. Prince Napoleon, Marshal Arnaud, Marshal Val liant, Le Comte Clary, Senator, the Bishop of Arras, and the English and other foreign officers were among the guests of General Canrobert. While the distinguished party were thus engaged the troops received the order to march towards the plain of Bruyres, where the grand military manoeuvres of the clay were to take place. and artill er y s l ow l y woun d As infantry, cavalry , down the steep hill from the camp, they found the road almost impassable from the numbers of equipages from St. Omer an d th e surroun di ng towns and villages on their way to the camp. After passing through the little village of Blan decques, at the foot of the heights, the troops gained the vast plain of Bruyeres, and were formed in order of battle. The Bruyeres is an extensive plain, quite flat, situated about midway between the camp and St. Omer, of which town it commands a picturesque view. It lies high, and is said to be on a level' with the tower of the Cathedral of St. Omer. Charles X. often manoeuvred from 20,000 to 30,000 men on the Bruyeres. A portion of the plain has since been enclosed, but there is still room to ma noeuvre 10,000 men. The troops originally assem bled at the camp were about 7,000 strong, but some must, I think, have been sent away, for I could not satisfy myself that more than 5,000 were drawn a UP- The infantry formed in line ; the artillery, .ea and waggon trains (train des equipages militvaires3 forming a second line about a hundred yard s in r oughly the rear.

The freight list comprises specie from the Gulf of Mexico value 2,409,539 dots., of which 81,000 dols. is for account of the Mexican bondholders. Besides this there are 43 packages of specie and bullion, value unknown ; the total amount brought by the Thames being supposed to be about 2,700,000 dols., or say, 540,0001. sterling. There is also on freight 60 bales of sarsaparilla, 83 packages of pimento, seven live turtle, two cases of tortoise-shell, six cases of succades, and sundry merchandise. A large quan tity of freight from Havannah brought up to St. Thomas's by the Mexican gulf packet was left behind by the Thames,. in consequence of insuffi cient time to transfer it so as to allow of her leaving at the appointed date.

THE CHOLERA. ( From the General Board of Health, Whitehall.) NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE. Deaths on the 30th of September _ Cholera Diarrhoea.. The total number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in Newcastle during the present outbreak has been 1,366.. In the same period (viz., the first 30 days) during the prevalence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2 the number of deaths was 217. Gateshead, no return. 20 ANNANDALE, DATHGATE, N.B.

Deaths on the 27th of September : Diarrhoea - - - - The reports received on Saturday by electric telegraph by the General Board of Health from their medical super intending inspectors at Newcastle state that " the dis ease is passing away " in that district. On Thursday, the 29th Sept., Dr. Wallen Lewis and Mr. William Lee, medical and engineering inspectors of the General Board of Health, visited Hexham, and were received by a deputation from the magistrates, from the several local authorities, and from the resident medical practitioners. It appears that a very efficient preventive system had been early organised, especially that means had been taken to carry into effect the house-to-house visitation before the disease had become epidemic. The first case of cholera showed itself on the 3d of Sep tember, and was said t o have come from Newcastle. There have been from the Ist of September to the pre sent day about 1,200 oases o f di arrhcea and cholera under treatment. At the present time there are about 150 still under treatment. The following statement shows the entire number of deaths from cholera and diarrhoea (1) since the commence ment to this day : September 4 „ 10 , f 2 ~ 14 ~ 3 „ 15 „ 16 „ 17 „ 18 „ 20 PP -- „ Total 23 The highest praise is due to the resident medical men for the prompt and judicious manner in which they have carried the preventive measures into effect ; though they have had in constant work two house-to-house visitors, yet they represent that if the disease were from any cause to re-appear among them, they would be obliged to pro cure from London, or elsewhere, more assistance in tho shape of house-to-house viii ors. They were unanimously of opinion that no other step than that is efficient in nip ping the disease in the bud. Directly that step was taken in Hexharn, though to so small an extent, a most marked difference in the number of severe cases was seen. They have divided the town into four districts, and when re quired will only have to send for some medical visitors, and will be able to put them at their work the instant they arrive. Two extra inspectors have been appointed, with a view to the more efficient removal of nuisances. As examples of the class oaf persons among whom the disease has proved fatal, and of the condition of the places in which it has principally prevailed, it may suf fice to cite the following narratives : J. F. of very irregular habits, tiling frequently in toxicated. He lived in a house in Broad-gates, with his wife, aged 59, and family ; himself, his wife, and two daughter, aged 26 and 31 ; all died of cholera on the 21st, 23d, and 24th September. The house itself was a good one, over a shop, but it was exposed to the effluvia emanating from numerous pigsties, privies, and slaugh ter-houses. A. 8., a labourer, worked close by a filthy open ditch called Skinner Burn. There was a large midden close to where he worked, full of dung, ashes, and excrement. As soon as the epidemic broke out in Hexham, he said he was sure that that would give him the cholera. In a few days he was actually seized with the disease, and died with the exclamation in his mouth, which he had frequently repeated during his illness, that that midden was the cause of his death. The truth of this statement was attested by numerous persons of authority in the town. Another death, caused by the same burn (the local term for a sewer-like ditch), which exercised so disas trous an influence in the preceding case, producgd great consternation in the town. It was that of a person in a highly respectable position, who was well known, and held in much esteem by his fellow-tradesmen. He lived in Skinner's Burn. The ditch was under his house, and only separated by the flooring from his parlour. LONDON. A fatal case of cholera has occurred in Martin-street, Friar-street, St. George's, Southwark. The death took place on the 27th September, but the body is not yet buried, although there are four more inmates in the same house. _ _ -- A great amount of diarrhoea, in many cases of a cho leraic character, prevails in the neighbourhood. A severe case of this nature has just occur ed in Great Tower-street. Dr. Meijer, the eommissioner from the French Go vernment, accompanied by Dr. Sutherland, one of the medical inspectors of the General Board of Health, examined the infected districts of Newcastle. Heac companied the medical officers in the house-to-house examination in the system introduced by the board, and stated that he was thoroughly satisfied with it. But he expressed his extreme surprise at witnessing the condi tion of the population in the lowest districts of the town. He had been called upon to visit some of the worst con ditioned of the French towns, but he had never seen anything so bad in structure as the houses and arrange ments of the worst and most severely visited portions of Newcastle, or as the state of filth in whibli the popula tion there existed. LIVERPOOL. The cholera has at length unmistakeably appeared in Liverpool. There have been ten cases on board of the Silas Greenman, now in this port, and bound with emit grants to New York. Three have proved fatal, and there are three more patients in a state of collapse, from which recovery cannot be expected. GREENWICH. Active measures are being taken thoroughly to cleanse and purify the several parishes comprised in the Green wich union, as being the best means to the prevention of cholera. Dr. Milroy, medical inspector of the Gene. ral Board of Health, on Friday attended a special meet.- ing of the board of guardians, to hqld a conference with the medical officers, in the coursEfOr w hi c h various mea sures of precaution were brought u n der di sc ussion. Re solutions were agreed t o, that thwmedical officers of the iih union should act as a kind of sanitary i n spectors ; th a t they should report every case of the G r m ee e n e w ti i n e g hl of Woolwich, an d discovered in their several distrik l i; that they s h ould s oa attended s relieve any s cas ieta e n s e o e f d b l e fitr hcea ; l d that, if afforded in case of need.

He dwelt with peculiar effect on the moral and social responsi bilities of medical men, and rejected the common impu tation that, as a body, they were inclined to scepticism and doubt. From the peculiar nature of their studies, and their constant contemplation of disease and death, they might sometimes pay too much attention to secon dary causes, and forget the first great cause ; but it was not true, in these days at least, that the medical profes sion was more inclined to unbelief and irreligion than others. The discourse was listened to throughout with deep attention, and concluded amidst the applause of all present. Miss CUNNINGHAME'—We ( Cialignani) have received two letters from Genoa, complaining of the—misrepre sentations o Mao conduct of Miss Margaret Cunningham contained in the letter of "An Englishman," copied hit' this journal from the Post, which is calculated:to creed an unjust prejudice against that unfortunate youngladY. The Englishman states that she distributed the prohi bited tracts at Lugliano, the day previous to her doing so at Benabbio, and that she was assaulted by the en raged peasantry with stones in consequence. This, our Genoa correspondents assure us, is unmitigated false. hood. Miss Cunningham did nothing of the kind, nor would she have distributed any tracts at all, but that she was in entire ignorance that her so doing was an offence against the law. Under such circumstances, every ge nerous mind must extend it s sympathy to the unfortunate captive, and join in the hope almost universally expressed of her speedy deliverance from the consequences. 5 i I
