of the flogs and devices carried by the scholars were
beautifully and elegantly got up, and added greatly to
the dignity and beauty of the pruoession. Another
thing we noticed with much pleasure was the tidy
neatness of the children, and the order and regularity
they preserved amongst themselves, without troubling
their teachers to speak to them. Nor mint we omit

occasion. Snorts of all kinds were then joined in. such

might only be an aggravated case of English
cholera.
Mr. EDMUNDS proposed that the report of the
unitary oommittee be received and adopted.
Mr. Ewsms seoonded the motion. . _

Mr. Lau° said, notice had not been given of the
resolution, and it could not, therefore, be clrried.
They would be acting contrary to the act of Parlia-
ment if they passed the motion.
The MAYOR said the Town Clerk was clearly of
opinion that the motion could be paned at that
meeting, and he (the Mayor) oonsideeed the urgency
of the occasion rendered it necessary.
At the suggestion of Mr. Jefford the sanitary
committee was enlarged. It now comprises :—The
Mayor, Mr. H. E. Ifounsell, Mr. Williams, Mr.
, Tucker, Mr. Jefford, Mr. Manley, Mr. B. P. Gundry
! Mr. Templeman, Mr. Swain, and Mr. E. Cox.
The motion that the report of the committee be
received and adopted was carried, Mr. Legg being
the only dissentient.
The MAYOR theca alluded to the fact that the site
chosen for the proposed hospital would have to be
altered, and the Town Clerk would give them some
imformation on the subject.
The Tows Cunig then read • letter he had
written to the Privy Council oMoe, and the answer
received was that the Board of Guardians, and not
the Local Board, were the authorities for carrying
out the Prevention of Diseases Act. excepting such
0•1441 which were brought into the Harbour by the
shipping.
Mr. JAVYORD said it was most essential that the
site should be in such a situation that the patients
would not have to be carried la., especially when
they were bordering on collapse. As to the objec-
tion of people of having a hospital near their houses,
be could say without hesitation, that there eras no
danger in the hospital; theLdanger was in the ship
itself. . .

with war and diplomatic compliastions abroad, financial
distress and pestilence at home. The mouse of the

few friendly words to America, and he entered a strong

the barrenness of the Parliamentary session on the
ground that the debates on Reform had advanced the
thorough understanding of the question. The other
speeches were the merest after-dinner routine.

experience in the treatment of diarrhau among Rivera
thousand men exposed to beat, wet, and cold, day and
night, for many suoesesive hours, in every part of
the metropolis and 16 miles round. The following
medicine I caused lobs supplied to all the polioestetion-
houses, with directions to be given on sudden attaaks,
and before recourse could be had to the divisional
surgeon's assistance: Aromatic confection, six drachms;
tinoture of opium, one drachm; tincture of catechti,
two ounces ; aeomatie ,pint of ammonia, one ounce;
chlorie tether, two drachms ; pepperinint water, 13
ounces, Mil. Three tablespoons to be taken every
three or four hours, until the diarrhoea ceases.' This
medicise may be said to have been invariably successful
when taken on the first appearance of diarrheas. and I
have had in one season 2000 or 3000 eilliest It was
found in the seasons of cholera to prevent diarrhsee

A DEAR Kum—James Russell, of Olverion, labourer,
was summoned before the magistrates at Thornbory by
Emma Maria Pope, aged hymn, of the parish of Ether'
ton, for unlawfully assaulting her at Elberton, on the
Bth of July last. From the evidence, it appeared that
on the night in question the plaintiff was nn her road to
Littleton, and when near the residence of Mr, Wintle
she, in company with Sundt Edmonds, was standing by
the side of the road, under a tree, when the defendant,
with his brother, Charles Russell, pissed by them, and
defendant observed that it was• beautiful rain, to which
the complainant replied "Yes, for young docks And
broken winded chickens." Defendant then ran after
the complainant and tried to kiss her, and held her
round the waist for • considerable time, from which,
complainant said, she had felt the effects ever since.
The defendant stated that be bed no intention of com-
mitting an assault on the complainant, but only of
kissing her. The magistrates observed that the aerie
ought not to have been brought before them, and dealt
leniently with the came by inflicting a One of Is.,
together with 9s. costs. Ihe defendant said he would
prefer going to prison for seven days to paying the
money.

THE Punic ligELTH.—When we find that exposed
to nearly the same temperature and not very dissimilar
atmospheric conditions, the mortality of the healthy
districts, which have been so often cited in the reports,
was 20. it is difficult to come to any other conclusion
than that there is still something radically wrong in
the sanitary administration of the towns of the
kingdom. The root of the evil has not been reached.
Vast numbers of the population, increasing every year,
are blighted by causes which science has discovered,
and which hygienic refutations might control.
Condensation has an extraordinary tendency to impair
the health of the people, and should be met by extra-
ordinary measures. London is one of the eleven great
divisions of the kingdom, and has suffered to about the
avenge extent. The mortality, which was 23 in the
previous spring quarter, rose to 25. Not only amallspos,
meads., and wbooping-oough, but bronchitis and
pneumonia grew more fatal. It is to be regretted that
the Vaccination Act, which was originally ill-conceived,
works badly. The measure requires amendment • and
the melees impracticable registration clauses should be
struck out. The deaths in London from diarrhoea
were 289, from cholera 24 ; and a few of the eases of
cholera were of an epidemic type; but the deaths both
cholera and diarrheas were much below the ast
In the corresponding quarter of the previous year 706
deaths from diarrheri, and 32 from cholera, were reign-
tered.—Regiserars Returns.

IT IS iitvia voo LAMB TO 111IXD.—Thig very hopeful
proverb, like essay otter wiee.saws, is open to many
objections; at any rate there are numerous chronic dis-
eases which seem too late to mend, according to &e-
-moted theories and common practice. It appears,
however, by the evidence of public opinion, the fees
upon record, and the truly universal demand for Pro-
fessor Holloway's remedies, that most diseases, however
hopeless in the ordinary sense, may and • steady ray of
hops in their use and application. It may be admitted
that many a case pronounced hopeless by one peso-
titioner is sometimes cured by another, but the success
of Professor Holloway's pills and ointment seems to
warrant the claim of infallibility, so uniformly MOMS-
NI have they b. eu found in every dinorder wherein
there was the boast chance of a cure. In all
times there have been alleged SpDoifie panaoms,
or universal medicine; confidently remiuniemied for all
diseases, however desperate. Even tobacco once enjoyed
this high and mighty distinction; and it was certainly
recommended by snineet physicians of the day as an
appropriste remedy for a multitude of diseases. All
those universal medicines however were destined to •
abort sway, having in fact been found wanting is pro
portioa to their expansion am the eommunity.
This we hold to be something like a declslve test of their
inefficiency. The ease is altered however when we and
a medicine—with similar promises—steadily gaining in
public estimation in proportion to It. ezpamion, and
year by year securing an increased demand in ever) part
of the world, civilised and uncivilised, amongst the
learned and the ignorant, rich and poor, all testifying to
its efficacy in the most opposite diocese; and particular!,
ID that alms of oases affecting the digestive organs. We
allude to the remedies of Profrasor Holloway, which are
doubtless well-known to all our readers, and mai cely need
our recommendation. It Is a feet and one that establishes
beyond question Professor Holloway's theory of • mei mon
orisrin of disease, that the people of every country into
which his remedies have been introduced, have con-
sidered aod found them specially adapted to the com-
plaints most common in such country. If we would
know the reason, it consists In the fact that these
medicines operate upon any deleterious principle in the
blood of the patient, which faulty blood lithe immediate
cause of this disorder, whatever it may be; and thence
their effect is always salutary, without inflicting injury
on the system, like many medicines. These remedies,
which have healed the sick in all parts of the world, are
the legitimate fruits of profound
.thought, unwearied
study and research, and • long series of practical
experiments.. —ffitsglisk Reformer.
