AND CITY INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWO O'CLOC. The cotton market at Liverpool yesterday closed heavily. The sales were 4,000 bales, of which 500 Were for export, 140 Pernams and Maranhams, at 6d. to 7id., 300 Egyptian at 6d. to Bd., and 400 Surat, at lid. to 4d. per lb. The railway shares were flat and lower. The following particulars of the annual sales of furs and skins imported from America are furnished by Messrs. William Row, sen., Son, and Co : "Racoon—Met mith a good demand, the common, third, and fourth classes realised improved rates. "Bear, Ist and 3d—ln moderate request, prices ob tained being in general lower. " Cub, Ist and 3d—Also realised lower rates. "Brown and Grey—Prices rather declined for the better qualities ; seconds and thirds realised full rates. "Otter—ln gond request, the dark and fine rather improved in prices. " Sea—The supply was small, the best fine obtained higher rates. "Fisher—Continue in good demand, and improved prices realised, particularly for second and coarse. "Martin—Fine dark continue to obtain high rates, the prices of middling and pale also improved. " Mink—Fine and dark, good colour, continue in brisk request at full rates, other sorts met with an im proved demand. "Lynx—Sold with much spirit at higher rates. "Cat—ln improved request, realising advanced prices. "Fox—Silver sold at full rates for the qualities of fered. Cross met with a fair demand, but prices rather declined.

" Zolverein—ln brisk request, and sold at improved rates. "Musquash—ln moderate demand, prices being steady for the good, but rather lower for coarse. Black, de mand was lively, realising higher rates. "Beaver—ln good request, and obtained advanced rates, particularly the fine thin parchment. " Chinchilla—ln fair request, and realised steady rates." l i The market has been very depressed again for English Stocks, and the tenor of all the news pub lished has been unfavourable. It must be stated, however, as a circumstance that would appear extraordinary if some explanations were not offered that the private letters from Paris are written in very confident terms respecting the probability, imminent as the danger of war now appears, of a settlement of the Eastern question so far as the acceptance of the Vienna note is concerned. There is even in town, we believe, a telegra phic message from Vienna, denying the assertion that Austria has separated itself from the other Powers. On the contrary, it i 3 affirmed that the Four Powers still act in concert, and that they desire the acceptance by Turkey of the original note which they drew up. Perhaps the most se rious present feature is the enthusiasm prevailing at Constantinople, and the great danger to which the Greek population and the Christians are ex posed. At Paris the Rentes have been higher to day, and there is an improvement also in Railway Shares. Orders to buy to some extent have been sent laver, and the Strasbourg line is in especial demand. In Vienna also shares are stated to have risen con siderably, and the feeling on the Bourse there was much more confident. We give these facts, and refrain from further comment, leaving a'l pitrties to form their own conclusions as to whether pPaci or war is considered on the Continent most probable. Consols have this morning fluctuated between 94 and 941 for transfer, and from 94 3 / 4 to 95 for account. At one time there were buyers at 95. Exchequer Bills have realised 7s. to Bs. discount, and East India Bonds 2s. discount to 3s. premium. The foreign market has been exceedingly quiet. The quotations are generally heavy by sympathy with the English funds. Spanish keep up, not withstanding the intelligence from Madrid of a change of ministry, the cause or consequences of which no one seems to comprehend or care about, engrossed as the public attention is by the momen tous Eastern question. The New Deferred Bonds have been at 22i. Mexican stock has ruled at 24 ; E quador, is at 4 to and Brazilian New 4 3 / 4 per Cents. have been 97 3 / 4 to 98. Sardinian Bonds are quoted 923/4. The Railway Share Market hay, been excited and depressed as re gar ds the English lines, with a con tinued pressure of sales. Caledonian have fallen about 21., and East Lancashire, Great Northern, North-Western, Midland and the other lines about 1 per cent. French Shares have been in request, at an advance of fully 1/. on the Strasbourg. The Northern are also firm. The Zealand keep up, but the Canada shares are lower. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1853. 1852. Great Western ..................

The Australian Bank Shares have been 1/. to 21. lower for those with 251. to 401. paid up, and the others in proportion. The Lard Companies' Shares are again flatter.

HALF•PAST TWO. 94 94i 5 Oonsols Ditto October A ccount DESPERATE ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE BY A MARRIED WOMAN.—Last night, between seven and eight o'clock, a desperate attempt at self-destruction was made by a married woman of the name of Charlotte Stevenson, a native of Banff, by swallowing a large quantity of lauda num. It appears that the unfortunate woman wrote a letter to a Mrs. Chapman, of Gate-street, Holborn, re questing her to come as soon as possible, as she had taken poison, and wished to g ive her something for her father before she died, which led to the discovery. She was conveyed to King's College Hospital, where Mr. J. W. Hulke, the house surgeon, used the stomach pump, and other antidotes, but the unfortunate woman now lies in a most precarious state. This is the second at tempt within a short time ; no cause is assigned for the rash act. ENGLISH VERSUS YANKEE CLIPPERS.—Much interest exists at Lloyd's, tne Jerusalem, and other coffee-houses, in reference to the race now pending between the British clipper-built ship StornOway and the American ship Challenge. The Stornoway, while under the command of Captain Robertson, now of the Cairngorm, made some extraordinary passages, beating on one occasion this very vessel, the Challenge, which, however, is three times her tonnage, and consequently spreads an enor mous quantity of canvas. The Stornoway, under her present commander, Captain Hast, has made the quickest passage of the season from Bombay to China ; and it is therefore hoped that, although the Challenge had the start of him from Macao Roads, he will yet overhaul his colossal competitor, and make his appearance off the English coast as the winner of the match. NOBLE GENEROSITY_—At the home farm of Ethie number of masons and others are at present engaged in erecting barns and other outhouses. A few days ago the workmen were not a little surprised on observing Lord Rosehill trundling a wheelbarrow towards them from the mansion house of Ethie, and the surprise was the more agreeable when the contents were discovered to be refreshments for the men, in the good old English style of beef and beer. His lordship ordered them to sit down, and with the joyous elasticity of boyhood served them individually with the rich viands of the table of Northesk. Seeing so much humility in one of the noblest houses in Scotland, the men started to then fret, and, with thrte times three, made the homestead ring to the healths of the Earl and Countess of Northesk, likewise their no ble servitor, Lord Rosehill.--Montrose Standard. 571 472 3o 165 14i,si SHAIiEIicA.RICETS.—(TRIS DAY.)

A public meeting was held on Tuesday evening, in the Town-hall, for the purpose of considering "the present unsettled and unsatisfactory state of the Eastern question, and the propriety of memorialising the Government, urging them to take prompt and deci sive measures to cause the immediate evacuation of the Danubian principalities, and to prevent Russia from again outraging justice and international law by a forcible and warlike occupation of the Turkish territory." The meeting was called by the mayor (Mr. Matthews), in pursuance of a requisition signed by about 140 persons, at the head of whom was Mr. Over end, a deputy-lieutenant of the West Riding. The meeting was so largely attended that the large room of the Town-hall was filled. The most entire unanimity appeared to exist in favour of the sentiment embodied in the requisition to the mayor, as quoted above. The mayor being out of town, Mr. Alderman Carr, the ex mayor, was called to the chair. In his opening obser vations he remarked that it was competent in that meet ing to pass resolutions that would strengthen the bands of Government in its policy on behalf of Turkey during the present European crisis. Mr. I. IRONSIDE moved the first resolution : " That the unjustifiable aggressions of Russia upon Turkey, the meanness and the base duplicity which Russia has manifested in support of those agres sions, and its long-continued forcible occupation of Turkish territory, without any colourable pretext what ever' imperatively call for every nati on havinc, any re gard for the principles of justice, hon our , and inter national law to take such prompt and decisive measures as shall cause the rights of Turkey to be respected, give her ample reparation for the outrages to which she has been subjected, and effectually to prevent a recur rence of similar proceedings in future." He held a strong opinion that if the four Powers had not interfered at all, but left Russia and Turkey to themselves, the question would have been settled now, and that the Russians would have been driven out of the principali ties. The motion was seconded by Mr. BACON, suported by Mr. C. ALCOCK, and carried by acclamation. Mr. G. L. SAUNDERS moved the adoption of a memo rial to the Earl of Clarendon, the Foreign Secretary, affirming the absence of any colourable pretence on the part of Russia to occupy the Danubian Principalities, and concluding with this passage : "Your memorialists therefore pray that the British Government will take prompt and decisive measures to cause the immediate evacuation of the Danubian Prin cipalities, to make Russia bear all the expenses conse• quent on her lawless proceedings, and to prevent her again outraging justice and international law." The motion was seconded by Mr. MELLING ; and Mr. IBBITT having spoken in support of it, the memorial was adopted, and signed by the chairman in behalf of the meeting. Some proceedings then took place with reference to raising a sum of money for presentation to Kossuth, after which the meeting broke up. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, Sept. 20.—The monetary pressure con tinues to give a downward inclination to prices. With out anything like alarm, a greater desire to sell has shown itself to-day than was before observable among spinners. This results inevitably from contracts run ning out, in increasing numbers, without being renewed. With the exception, therefor e , of doubled, and of very fine spinnings, whose value is sustained by the contracts in hand, the great bulk of yarns, whether mule or water, must be quoted rather under the rates that would have been accepted last week. ROCHDALE, Sept. 19,—The demand for coarse goods continues very good, and, at present, the supply is far from being equal to the demand. The wool market has undergone no change since the previous Monday. Fine wools are full as easy to buy, but English wool of an inferior quality is scarce, and better prices may be ob tained. HALIFAX, Sept. 20.—There has been a rather better attendance in our piece hall to-day, but the sales of goods have not been extensive. The principal inquiries were for grandrell crapes, lastings and other heavy goods being scarcely looked at. The threatening aspect of affairs in the East checks the demand for yarns for the continent, and the transactions are moderate, at late rates. There is no great activity in the wool market, and the quotations have not undergone any alteration. HUDDERSFIELD, Sept. 20._To•day we have had a quiet market, which is looked upon now as something unusual, considering the very long run of briskness we have had. There have scarcely been the usual number of buyers in attendance this day, the orders of whom have been meagre. This flatness is generally attributed to the very bad aspect of Eastern affairs, and the tight ne,s of the money market in high rate of discounts, which together, have had a material effect here during this last week, both as regards money transactions and in checking any speculation by the merchants. LITERATURE. The Irish Quarterly. No Although so young, the Irish Quarterly is already flourishing. The specimen before us is quite a model number in general excellence and versatility. A seventh instalment of the serial about " The Streets of Dublin," conducts us opportunely enough, now that William Dargan's Exhibition is luring so many across St. George's Channel, through several of not the least interesting quarters of the Irish me tropolis. An admirable survey is taken of " French Social Life," through a criticism on Louis Reybaud's popular narrative of " Jerome Paturot." Under the suggestive title of " Fashion in Poetry and the Poets of Fashion," we find allusion to the rhymes of William Spencer and Henry Luttrell, names re membered only through some such aid as a couplet in " English Bards," or a parody in " Rejected Addresses." An entertaining contribution is dedi cated to the consideration of the literary labours of the Rev. Samuel. Madden—volumes published be tween 1729 and 1 745 —carrying the reader back across the interval of a momentous century to a tragedy on " Themistocles," and a panegyrical poem on " Boulter's Monument." Apropos, not of Boots, but of the great Industri a l E x hibi t i on, we have presented to us in the rec en tl y pu b l i shed instal ment of the Irish Quarterly, a timely reference to Maguire's views as to the Development of Industry in Ireland, and as to the views of a great many more than the Mayor of Cork, as to the progress of art in Dublin, and as to the feasibility of a scheme for creating and organising a National Gallery in that metropolis. Altogether the edit or and con tributors to the new periodical under notice could scarcely have produced a number better qualified than the one last issued from Mr. Kelly's establish ment in Grafton-street, to justify past success, and, in doing so, to augur admirably for its future de velopment. Slavery at Home. By a Woman of the World. T. C. Newby. The authoress of this little volume has, we can not but think, done herself an injustice ; and this too upon her very title-page. She appears either to be unconscious of, or to have forgotten, the fact that the phrase " A Woman of the World" is rather disparaging than otherwise in its mean ing—at any rate in its general acceptation. A woman of the world, indeed, may be regarded as synonymous with a heartless woman—a woman with her sensibilities blunted, her susceptibility dulled, and her character rendered masculine just as in an opposite way a man's may become effemi nated. A downright woman of the world, in fact, we take it, may be viewed as a personage rather more disagreeable than a downright blue-stocking —as in reality a specimen of the dreadful genus typified at the commencement of " Chuzzlewit" in the person of "the strong-minded woman." Re garding the phrase, therefore, in this light, we repeat that, to our thinking, the writer of the little volume before us has libelled herself upon its very title-page. For it is impossible to glance through the pages of the book without recognising that the anonymous deprecator of " Slavery at Home" has a large heart not less than a keen intelligence. Victor Hugo's Rhine. Translated from the French, by D. M. Aird. With a Guide for Tourists. Ingram, Cooke, and Co. Any formal criticism upon a work as celebrated as Victor Hugo's popular and brilliant narrative about the " Rhine," would—to use a long but ex pressive word—be quite a matter of supererogation. It would be altogether as out of place in noticing the present translation as it would be to weigh in the balance the merits of Bulwer Lytton's " Pil grims," or of some among the earlier stanzas of " Childe Harold," relating to that silent highway through the great Vaterland. All that is here permitted us is to commen d t h e excellence of Mr. Aird's translation. It constitutes another of those marvels of cheapness presented of late in such profusion to the railway traveller, and in the issue of which some of our most distinguished publishers have vied with each other in the display of enter prise. Thousands are already familiar with the gorgeously emblazoned volumes supplied by Messrs. Ingram, Cooke, and Co., for what Montague Tigg would call " the ridiculously small amount" of one shilling—Jerdan's "Yankee Humour," and Mayhew's " Letters Left at the Pastrycook's." Another of these little volumes is the one here particularised, an eloquent and sufficiently li teral translation of Victor Hugo's " Rhine," by D. M. Aird, followed by a really useful, because practical and matter-of-fact, " Guide for Tourists." Like its companions, the volume is adorned with a number of illustrations. The World. A Poem. In Three Cantos. J. 0. Clarke. According to the laconic Preface to this effusion, the author declares that " fame is not his object," adding in a tone of somewhat monotonous tauto logy, "I need hardly add that I have no pecuniary object." We are heartily glad of it, for his sake, as in that case he cannot be supposed to suffer any disappointment. " Patience," saith the Hermit of Bellyfulle, " wanting a nightingale—watched the egg and the bird sang !" The World" has yet to discover whether this egg is addled, or whether it will give birth in time to a nightingale. Notes Explanatory and Practical on the Book of Daniel. By the Rev. Albert Barnes. Critically Revised and Corrected. 2 vols. Routledge dr, Co. _ . The object of this work is to show the intimate relation between the two important books of ancient prophecy, Daniel and Revelations. These two books, it is observed, have ever been the most diffi cult to comprehend fully, and hence the learned author has devoted his most earnest endeavours to their description, in order to enable the student to surmount the difficulty they present. This work will most profitably be welcomed by the theological inquirer. It should be studied in conjunction with " Notes on Revelations," which were published last year. Percy Effingham, ; or, The Germ of the World's Esteem. By H. Cockton, Author of " Valen tine Vox," " Stanley Thorn," &c. 2 vols. Routledge and Co. The style of this story is very free and flowing ; many of the incidents are sufficiently ludicrous ; but, notwithstanding, it is evident that the author has a purpose beyond amusement. It is apparent to the reader, after a short perusal, that the hero is held up as a warning to all whom it may concern to profit by his experience and avoid his errors. The unprincipled, yet supposed respectable, set of idlers or hangers-on to the rich and generous is very well shown forth in this tale. They keep up a splendid appearance and go into very good society ; but it is all tinsel and falsity. In reality, they are as much to be stigmatised as the midnight marauder, for they enter the dwelling only to despoil its in mates. From the Major another lesson may be learned not to slight a friend in adversity, nor to follow the example of a misjudging, cold-hearted world, who keep to a man while in the act of com mitting folly, and then when he suffers from the consequences, turn away and upbraid him. Helen is a very striking character, and it is to be feared a very true one. Rather than be baffled in her plans, she cared not what misery she might inflict upon those she really respected ; and who considered her their friend. Flora, the heroine, improves on acquaintance ; at first she seems too much attached to masculine sports to be altogether ladylike, but afterward s s h e i s agreea b le and pleasing, in contra distinction to Helen's fierceness and assumption. In the time of trial she proved herself worthy, ex cepting when she gave way to jealousy. It must be confessed that the scene alluded to is rather un natural. Percy w as i n d ee d easily deceived to fall into so evident a snare. On the whole, great amuse ment may be derived from the story ; and if afew, possessed of large fortunes and many . friends,t be of took heed of Percy Effi n gham's mistakes, it might eminent service to them. HORRIBLE CASE OF CHILD MURDER.—Bridget Slattery, a servant maid to Mr. Wellington Wallace, of S . toney. acre, near Cloghjordan, Tipperary, stands committed to the bridewell of Borrisokane, charged with the murder of her infant, and concealing its birth . On the morning of Sunday, the 11th inst., she complained to her mistress of illness, and retired to bed, and it appears that Mr. and Mrs. Wallace left home on that day and proce e d e d to Cloghjordan, and about twelve o'clock she got up and dressed herself, and proceeded to an old ruin convenient to her master's farm, and when there was delivered of a child, which she buried alive beneath a heap of stones. She then returned to her master's house, bathed her feet, and retired to rest. D ur i ng her absence she was accompanied by a dog belonging to Mr. Wallace, which was observed on its return to be be smeared with blood, and on her being as k e d th e cause , she stated the dog fought with another animal, who cut it. Some time subsequent to this a little boy, in passing by the old ruins, heard cries of" squallin g " p rocee d f rom under the stones in the " ruin," and at once called to his assistance a girl, and both pro cee d e d t o th e spot. They again heard the cries, and commenced taking off the stones, but on observing a quantity of blood ran away, and, strange to say, left the infant to its fate. After some time had elapsed the spot was again searched, but no trace, save the blood, was to be found, and a number of dogs collected around the spot, by whom it is supposed the infant had been eat en . Th e Cl og hj or d an police, on hearing of it, went t o th e spot an d arres t e d Biddy Slattery in her bed, and took her before a magis trate, who took the informations of several witnesses to the foregoing facts, and committed the unfortunate girl for further examination at the petty sessions at Borriso kane on the 21st inst.

The last deep tone hath died away Upon the lavished car, and yet we pause ; Hoping to catch one lingering note, we fear To break the solemn stillness that pervades The raptured throng. Although the voice be mute, Not so the answering tone the soul gives back— The fond response that spirit yields to spirit. The awakened chord rings on, the throbbing heart Beats with a wild pulsation ; for a storm Of melody hath swept the soul's clear depths— A magic power bath stirred the placid tide ; So the wave rolls, although the tempest's hushed. Oh ! fondly cherished tones, so dearly loved— Prized above all our memory's treasured hoard. What though the summer roses fade away. With gentle care we tend the scattered leaves ; They can recal for us the summer's smiles. Dear friend ! what power, what witchery is thine I As the rock parted 'n eath the P rophet's touch, • So at thy bidding doth the heart of stone Give forth a stream of love and charity. Great is the talent yielded to thy care— A blessing unto thee, to us, to all Who share thy gentl e teach ings. May we t a k e Each lesson to the heart, and learn to love, With deeper awe, the God who g ave t o th ee A gift so beautiful and good ! FINOLA. EISTEDDFOD AT BANGOR.—The next grand provincial Eisteddfod of North Wales will be held at Bangor in the autumn of 1854. The ceremony of proclama tion took p lace on Tuesday. in a field i n t h e im mediate vicini t y of the city. Several hundreds of persons were present, in c l u di ng many English visitors, who appeared to be m uc h i nterested in the, to them, novel proceeding. In the centre of the field was a large stone circle, called a Gorsedd, in the middle of which was placed a single stone of impo s i ng dimen sions. Into this circle the principal bard, Eben Fardd (Ebenezer the bard) entered u ncovered, holding a sheathed sword , and .wearing a massive silver medal, won by him in a bardic encounter at Welshp oo l. T wo o ther bards, Clwydfardd and Mewaigg Idris, imme diately followed, also uncovered. The graduated bards and ovates were then summoned into the cir cle, all being uncovered, and wearing blue ribbons round the right arm. The sword was then unsheathed and placed upon the stone in the c en t re of the circle, Eben Fardd pronouncing the words, "The truth against the world." He then took , the swo r d and pointed it towards the sun, exclaiming, In the face of the sun, and in the eye of day." He afterwards read the proclamation, which summoned all bards, m i nstrels, and others inte rested in the promotion of arts, music, and literature, to meet at the Provincial Ei s t e ddf o d , to b e he l d at Ban gor, " one year and a day " from the date of the procla mation—viz , September 21, 1854 . Th e pres id enc y of the Bangor Eisteddfod is not yet fixed upon. CHELSEA SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—The Commissioners of Woods and Works have given directions that the works in connexion with this new structure shall be ac celerated in their progress. THE CHOLERA. SANITARY PRECAUTIONS. The following directions and regulations of the Gene ral Board of Health, issued under authority of the Nui sances Removal and Diseases Prevention Act, 1848, section x., appear in a supplement to the London Gazette of Tuesday, Sept. 20 : To local boards of health acting under the Public Health Act, 1848 ; to town councils or other bodies act ing under the authority of local acts of Parliament in which the provisions of the Public Health Act are in cluded ; to the guardians of the poor of the several unions in Engand and Wales, named in the first schedule here• unto annexed ; to the guardians of the poor of the several parishes in England and Wales, named in the second schedule hereunto annexed ; to the overseers of the poor of all parishes, townships, and places not comprised in the unions and parishes mentioned in the first and second schedules hereunto annexed ; to the mayor, alder men, and burgesses of cities and boroughs, commissioners under local acts, the surveyors of highways, their depu ties and assistants, road trustees, commissioners, county surveyors, and other persons by law intrusted with the care and management of all streets, public ways and places in any parish or place in England and Wales ; to the owners and occupiers of houses, dwellings, churches, buildings, and places of assembly within the said unions and parishes, and others having the care and ordering thereof, and to all whom it may concern— Whereas by the provisions of " The Nuisances Re moval and Diseases Prevention Act, 1848," for the Pre vention of epidemic, endemic, and contagious diseases, we, the General Board of Health, are authorised to issue such directions and regulations as we shall think fit for the prevention (as far as possible) or mitigation of epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease : And whereas by the s a id act it is provided that the directions and re gulations to be issued as aforesaid shall extend to all parts or places in which the said provisions of the said act shall for the time being be in force, under the order of her Majesty's Privy Council, unless such directions or regulations shall be expressly confined to some of such parts or places, and then to such parts or places as in such directions and regulations shall be specified : And whereas by an order of her Majesty's most Hon ourable Privy Council, bearing date the 15th day of September, 1853, the said provisions of the said act were directed to be put in force throughout the whole of Great Britain for a period of six calendar months thence next ensuing : Now, in exercise of the authority vested in us as afore said, we, the General Board of Health, do issue the di rections and regulations hereinafter contained, to extend to all parts and places within the several unions, parishes, and places throughout England and Wales —that is to Bay : 1. We direct that all the local authorities charged by the e" Common Lodging Houses Act, 1851, w i t h t h e execution of that act, shall see that the provisio ns o f t h e said act, and any act ameniieg the same, are enfor ce d f ort h w i th ' . 2. We direct the guardians, overseers, and persons as aforesaid, to order the clerk to the guardians of any such union or parish, forthwith upon the publication of these directions, to make out, from the medical officer's books, or other sources of information readily obtainable by him, a list of the places within his union or parish where cases of cholera, diarrhoea, typhus fever, epidemic, or any endemic disease, may have lately been frequent; and to give the list or portions of the list relating to particular districts to the medical officer of each district to which it shall relate. And the medical officer of every union or parish shall visit the places within it, and exa mine the houses situate in such places, as to their pre sent condition in respect to cleanliness, or as to any existing predisposing and removable cause of disease likely to affect the inmates thereof. 3. We direct the guardians, overseers, or persons to whom these regulations may apply to order the said medical officer to inquire into the state of the health of the inhabitants of all such places, and into the state of health of the children in schools, of the workpeople in places of work, and of the inmates of common lodging houses, and where he shall ascertain that any case of diarrhoea or of any premonitory stages of an epidemic disease exists to treat or direct the treatment of the same at once. 4. And such medical officer, where it may be neces sary, shall certify in writing to the guardians of his union or parish all such places as are in a state dangerous to health, or as need frequent and effectual cleansing by way of preservation against disease, and such dwelling houses as are in a filthy and unwholesome condition, and all such nuisances and matters injurious to health as ought to be abated, cleansed, and removed under these regulations. 5. We direct that all town councils, and other govern ing bodies of cities and boroughs, commissioners under local acts, local boards of health, surveyors and district or assistant surveyors of highways, road trustees or com missioners, county surveyors, and others now by law intrusted with the care and management of the streets and public ways and places within the parishes and places to which these directions and regulations extend, shall see to the effectual and continued cleansing of all such of the streets, rows, lanes, mews, courts, alleys, and passages, and public ways and places, under their respective care and management, as by the medical officer of the guardians or others authorised to superin tend the execution of these directions and regulations shall be certified in writing to be in a state dangerous to health, or to require frequent and effectual cleansing by way of precaution against disease ; and shall cause all filth, ordure, and nuisances to be removed therefrom. 6. We direct that where any such streets, rows, lanes, mews, courts, alleys, and any passages, public ways, or places to which any houses or tenements adjoin, which have not been entrusted by law to the care or manage ment of any town council, local board of health, com missioners, surveyors, trustees, or others, have been certified in writing by such medical officer as aforesaid to be in a state dangerous to health, or to require such frequent and effectual cleansing, every occupier of a house so adjoining shall keep or cause to be kept suffi ciently cleansed every part of the street, row, lane, mews, court, alley, or passage, way or place, which ad joins the house or tenement occupied by him, which works of cleansing and removal of filth, ordur e , an d nuisances required by these directions and regulations shall be done by effectual washing or otherwise, and with the use of fluids or substances for preventing the escape of noxious effluvia during the operation, when the medical officers of the guardians or others authorised to superintend the execution of these directions and regulations shall direct and prescribe the same. 8. We do hereby require the said guardians and over seers, and all other persons to whom these present regu lations are addressed, by themselves or by their officers or persons already employed by them, or to be specially appointed by them in this behalf, to superintend and see to the execution of these directions and regulations within their respective unions, parishes or places over or in which they may le ga lly h ave jurisdiction. 9. And where it shall appear that, by want or ne glect of the town council, city, or borough, local board of health, commissioners, surveynrs, trustees, or others, entrusted with the care and management of streets and public ways and places as aforesaid, or by reason of poverty of the occuppiers or otherwise, there is any default or delay in the cleansing of or re moving nuisances from any street, row, lane, mews, court, alley, passage, or public way or place certified as aforesaid, within any of the said unions, parishes, or places, we direct the guardians of such union or parish or the overseers of such parish, and all other persons having legal authority within such parish or place, to cause such street, row, lane, mews, court, alley, passage, way, or place, to be effectually cleansed, and all nui sances to be removed therefrom, and to do all acts, mat ters, and things necessary for that purpose. 9. We also direct that when and so often as any dwel ling house in any part or place to which these directions and regulations extend is in such a filthy and unwhole some condition as to be a nuisance to or injurious to the health of any person ; or where, upon, adjoining to, or near any premises, or any part or place, as aforesaid, there be any foul and offensive drain, ditch, gutter, privy, cesspool, or ashpit, or any drain, ditch, gutter, privy, cesspool, or ashpit, kept or constructed so as to be a nuisance to or injurious to the health of any person ; or where, upon, adjoining to, or near any such premises, swine, or any accumulation of dung, manure, offal, filth, refuse, or other matter or thing is kept, so as to be a nuisance to or injurious to the health of any person ; or where, upon, adjoining to, or near any such premises, being a building used wholly or in part as a dwelling house, or being premises underneath any such building, any animal is kept so as to be a nuisance to or injurious to the health of any person. In each of the above recited cases the owner or occu pier, and persons having the care or ordering of such dwelling-house, or of the premises where the nuisanc e or matter injurious to the health may be, or where they by reason of poverty, or otherwise, are unable, then the town council, local board of health, guardians, com missioners, or overseers, shall cleanse, whitewash, or otherwise purify, as the case may require, such dwelling house or building, or abate or remove the nuisance or matter injurious to health, as aforesaid, with all reason able speed after the publication of these our directions and regulations, or after the nuisance or matter injurious to health shall have arisen. 10. Wherever there shall not be a town council, local board of health, or other governing b o dy o f a c it y or borough or commissioners having jurisdiction for the re moval of nuisances, or where such council, local board of health, governing body, or commissioners shall not cause to be effectually executed such directions, we direct the said guardians and overseers, as the case may be, to visit, from time to time, or cause to be visited, the several dwellings and places where there may be ground for believing that necessity will arise for exe cuting such directions ; and where, from the poverty of occupiers or otherwise, there may be default or delay in the cleansing or purifying of any such dwelling-house, or the abatement or removal of any such nuisance or matter injurious to health, and the medical officer, or other person duly authorised as aforesaid, shall have certified that the same requires immediate attention, and where, from want of co-operation of the owners or occu piers, there is any default or delay in cleansing any foul and offensive drain, ditch, watercourse, or gutter into which several dwellings or tenements may drain, —to cause such dwelling-houses to be cleansed and purified, and such drain, ditch, watercourse, or gutter to be fre quently and effectually cleansed, and such a nuisance or matter injurious to health to be abated and removed respectively, - and to do all acts and provide all matters and things necessary for that purpose. 11. Every medical officer shall forthwith, upon any unusual amount of diarrhma, or any case of cholera, or of typhus, or other epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease becoming known to him within his district, re port the same to the Board of Guardians of his union or . __ ____ _ parish. 12. On the occurrence of any unusual prevalence of diarrhcea, or of severe premonitory symptoms of the disease of cholera, or any Severe epidemic disease, any school, or place of work, or among the inmates of any establishment, which shall appear to be overcrowded the medical officer shall, so soon as he shall be informed thereof, and if he deem it necessary, order the separation of the inmates of such school, place of work, or esta blishment, and direct such measures to be taken as shall appear to him to be expedient to prevent the spread of the disease. 13. And where it shall sufficiently appear to such guardians, overseers, or others to whom these regula tions apply, by certificate of their medical officer, or of the medical superintending inspector of the General Board of Health, or otherwise, that cholera, or any other severe epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, is present or imminent in any union, parish, or place, and that extraordinary medical aid is required for persons resident within such union, parish, or place attacked or threatened to be attacked by cholera, or other severe epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, or for the dis covery and treatment of persons so attacked or threat ened, we direct such guardians, overseers, or persons as aforesaid, to provide, as soon as may be practicable, suf ficient medical aid for examination, by house-to-house visitation, of the state of the inhabitants of the union, parish, or place, and for medical treatment of persons found to be threatened or affected with cholera, or such epidemic disease, or symptoms premonitory thereof, and for warning and instruction of such persons, and fur the provision in suitable places of such medicines as may be required within their respective unions or parishes for necessitous persons attacked by cholera or by pre monitory symptoms, and to make arrangements for the distribution of notices stating the places where such aid and medicines shall have been provided. 14. To ensure proper treatment in their own houses to many of the poorer class, we require the said guar dians, where it shall appear to their medical officer, or to the Medical Superintending Inspector of the General Board of Health, that such extraordinary aid is requisite, to provide suitable rooms or places capable of accommo dating necessitous oases, to which persons attacked by cholera, who cannot be properly treated in their own homes, may be conveyed. 15. We direct the said guardians, where it shall ap pear to their medical officer, or to the Medical Super intending Inspector of the General Board of Health, requisite, to provide rooms or places of refuge to which may be removed the families of such necessitous persons as have been attacked with cholera, and also such neces sitous persons living under the same roof with or in the vicinity of persons attacked, as the medical officers, acting under the authority of the said guardians, may deem it necessary to remove, and to cause the houses, rooms, or dwellings from which persons may have been so removed to the houses of refuge to be cleansed and purified by the owners or persons having the care or or dering thereof, or, in their default, by the said guardians. 16. On the occurrence of any case of cholera, or other epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, in any room o.oupied by one family or more, the medical officer of the union or parish attending the case shall cause to be removed either the patient or so many of the occupants of such room as he shall consider would, unless removed, tend to prevent the recovery of the patient, or endanger the spreading of the disease. 17. In case of death by cholera, or any other severe epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, the last medi cal attendant upon the person of the deceased, or, in case of there having been no medical attendant, the house keeper or person present at the death, or who shall be in charge of the body, shall forthwith notify the fact of the death to the medical officer of the district charged with the execution of these orders, for the prevention of the spread of su c h di sease, and the medical officer shall give such directions as may appear to him needful in respect to the care, removal, and the time of interment of the body, for preventing the communication or spread of disease. And we hereby authorise and require all persons to give such information or such assistance to such medical officer, and to be otherwise aiding him, as he may need in the execution of these orders. 18. - In the event of the fatal termination of any case of cholera, or of severe epidemic, endemic, or contagious disease, in any room occupied as a living or sleeping room by one family or more, or by numerous persons, the medical officer of the district, so soon as he shall be informed of the death, shall cause to be removed as speedily as may be, the corpse from the same premises, or, if this be not convenient, shall cause the persons occupying such rooms to be removed therefrom until the corpse can be conveniently removed and properly in terred. 19. And we direct the said guardians to make arrange ments for obtaining daily lists of persons attacked by cholera or other epidemic disease within their respective unions or parishes, with the particulars of their cases and treatment, and for communicating the same daily to the General Board of Health. 20. And we direct the said guardians, where it may appear needful, to appoint such additional medical officers and also to appoint such other officers as may be necea. sary to execute and superintend the execution of these regulations, and to publish and circulate, by private handbills or other means, notices of the provisions of the said act for the prevention of nuisances, and of our di- rections, regulations, and instructions, or of such part of any of them as it may appear to them expedient to make publicly known. 21. And we direct that in these directions and regu• lations the words " guardians of the poor" shall mean the guardians, directors, wardens, governors, or other like officers having the management of the poor of any union, parish, or place where the matter requiring the cognis ance of any such officers arises ; and the word "parish" shall include every place where the relief of the poor is administered by a board of guardians for such place.

DEATHS IN NEWCASTLE, SEPT. 20. Cholera Diarrhoea, lO No returns from Gateshead. 118 Extra medical visitors have been sent for, and five gentlemen have proceeded from London to work under the local authorities. The tents granted by the Ordnance have arrived, and 50 were pitched last night. LIVERPOOL. Several deaths have lately occurred from cholera in Liverpool. They are chiefly confined, however, to German emigrants. The Pelican, screw steamer, Cap tain Burns, arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday evening from Rotterdam. She had cholera on board, one passenger having died of that disease on Sunday last during her homeward passage. She was immediately put into quarantine. The other passengers and crew are in good health. MANCHESTER. A meeting of the medical profession of Manchester was held yesterday morning, having been convened by Dr. Radford and Mr. J. Turner, surgeon, at the request of the Sanitary Association, to consider the propriety of memorialising the authorities of the city on " the pro priety of immediately adopting such precautionary and preventive measures for preserving the health of the district as the experience of the profession may deem necessary." The proceedings were private, but we learn that a large number of the profession attended, inclu ding Dr. Radford (who presided), Dr. Watts, Dr. Wilkinson, Pr. Reed, Mr. Turner, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Windsor, Mr. Ker, Mr. Hatton, &c. A. long string of resolutions were agreed to, in which the attention of the authorities, of the mayor, alder. men, and town council were directed to the crowded state of some districts of the city, and the necessity for further sanitary measures, and suggesting that the powers of the Board of Health should be put into force. SHIELDS. WEDNESDAY FORENOON.—There have been six deaths from cholera in South Shields since Monday morning— fouryoung persons, two adults; both the adults were above 50 years of age. We have had no deaths since yester. day morning, and the town is reported to be generally healthy. North Shields, with its large seafaring popular , tion, keeps clear of infection, and there has only been one death from cholera in that town since the epidemic broke out. The authorities in both towns are very ao• tive in promoting the health of the population ; the large river engine being profitably employed daily in pouring thousands of tons of salt water into the back lanes of North Shields. Above 100 men are engaged in that town in sweetening it and putting it into a good Bald. tary condition. The water supply in both towns is fair. The Newcastle Trinity House has appointed proper medical officers to look after the shipping in the har. bour. They are healthy, however. The middle classes of Newcastle are flocking to the watering places on the coast. The atmosphere is bright and clear to-day, THE GATESHEAD IRONWORKS.-It appears from as report made to Mr. Grainger, Superintendent Lapse.* tor of the General Board of Health, respecting the state of health of the workmen of Messrs. Crawshay and Sons, that the total number of men employed is 1,200, and that the number of deaths was 12. There were 54L applicants for medical relief, and the result shows that by proper organisation the disease CAD be almost entirely subdued. THE CHOLERA AND THE EDINBURGH MEDICAL STU. DENTS.—At the request of Mr. Grainger, of the Board. of Health, and the poor-law guardians of Newcastle, several of the senior students of Edinburgh University have gone to Newcast4 to assist the medical men of the town, who have been working night and day since the outbreak of the epidemic. MONUMENT TO JAMES WATT IN El:anti:MOTT —Smoot. OF ARTS.—The directors of the Watt Institutiea and Edinburgh School of Arts having resolved to erect monument to the memory of James Watt, in Adam square. the Duke of Buccleuch has presented the direc tors with a splendid block of stone, weighing upwards of ten tons, for the purpose. This stone was brought from Granton Quarry on Saturday last, having bee n drawn by nine horses, and is now deposited in Adam square, awaiting the chisel of Mr. Peter Slater, the sculptor, who has been selected to execute the work. The monument is to be placed on a pedestal ; the whole to be about 14 feet in height. Watt is to be represented in a sitting posture, with a scroll in one hand, and a pair of compasses in the other ; the composition of the figure being different from that of the Watt statue either in Glagow or Greenock, and approaching more nearly to the elegant monument placed over the grave of the philosopher at Handsworth, near Birmingham. Mr. Slater has already completed the model, which, in a few days, will be placed on a temporary pedestal in the square, in order to ascertain its effect, and by devoting his time almost exclusively to the work, he is not with out hopes of having the statue finished and inaugurated on the 19th of January ensuing—the anniversary of Watt's birthday. 25 12 12 20 St. 11 100 100 18a 9i all Paid FOR: IGN. 111 i 66 4 1191 6j i 37i i 1' i E
