Io this committee, Charles Webber, a musician,
examined, said—Pitman offered him 71. to leave Taunton
and go to Bath before the election day. They went toge-
ther, the intention being not to let witness poll, but wit-
ness gave the slap to his companion and returned sad voted
for Bedrock. The witness denied it was a " plant."
Pitman, on being celled, denied the whole of this state-
ment, and said that the 71. was a loan to the last witness to
enable him ts go to Bath and fulfil a drum-beating" ea-
gammen!. He ked Webber for his vote.

Gracie Farmer deposed that her husband gave her 191., and
gave her to understand he received it for his vote.

he gave the money to his wife to keep because there was a
hole in his pocket.
The committee adjourned to this day.
New writs were on Saturday issued for Durham and
Peterborough.

in a very weak and unkind state, and not likely under the
most congenial weather ti produce but very few Hops.
The duty is estimated at 130,0001.

UNDERTAKERS' CIRCULARS.
London, England, 1853-06-20

THE OVERLAND MAIL.

The Indian despatches have arrived.
The news brought by this mail, beyond the con-
firmation of that already received by telegraph, is of
little importance.
Nothing further has transpired with regard to the
progress of our negotiations with the court of Ava.
The Nizam has decided upon ceding to the British
government the territory which it demanded of
him, in lieu of his debt and stipulated annual pay-
ment to the contingent. The terms of the agreement
are certainly favourable to his highness : in conside-
ration of a revenue of 38 lees of rupees, (360,0001.1
being given up, the English government foregoes the
entire debt due by the Nizam and remits en annual
payment of 40 lace (400,0001.)

The affair of the Sodded edges is still exciting great
interest. The entire native bar of the Sadder court
have petitioned au address to both judges, and a me-
morial praying that they might be reinstated, has
been very generally sive&
The Govenor-General is still at Calcutta.
The market is unusually inactive.

MONTENEGRO.

Daniel Petrowitsch, the Montenegrine chid, re-
turned to his Burg at Cettinje on the 22nd ult., wear-
ing the order of the Iron crown bestowed on him by
the Emperor of Austria. Soon after hie arrival he
distributed a number of bravery medals imprinted
' with the Rus-ian arms. This proceeding aroused the
jealousy of those who were not so distinguished, and
a quarrel arose. The chief ordered some of his armed
followers to apprehend the rioters, and two were
placed in hold. As is the custom with these savages
the relations of the prisoners came to the rescue, and
released their kinsmen ; whereupon the chief's people
fired and the two men were killed. Daniel has
gathered the people in an assembly, and informed
them that he shall soon again stand in need of their
valour, " to seize the provinces which the Turks have
refs from old Montenegro.'

THE KING AND (WREN OF HANOVER.

The King and Queen of Hanover are expected to
arrive off Woolwich this afternoon at two o'clock. The
Duke of Cambridge, it is understood, will leave London
this morning to meet his illustrious relatives, and conduct
them to London.

Their Majesties left Hanover on Tuesday morning and
travelled via railway to Cologne, in which city the King
and Queen passed Tuesday night. Yesterday morning the
royal travellers left Cologne for Ostend, at which port they
arrived last evening.

The Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yuht, arrived at
Ostend yesterday morning to be in readiness to convey the
Kins and Queen to England. It was arranged that the royal
travellers should embark at a very early hour this morn-
ing in order to reach Woolwich with the flcod tide this
afternoon.

The King and Queen are accompanied by their three
children—the Crnwn Prince Ernest, the Prince's Frederica,
and the Princess Maria.

In the suite of his Msjesty are Marshal Baron Malortie,
Baron von lledimann, Baron von Der Weuse, General
Vanderdeeken, and the Hon. Richard Somerset, son of
Lord Raglan, private secretary to the King. The ladies
in attendance upon the Queen are the Baroness von
Deeken, Mistress of the Robes; the Countess Bernsdorff
Lady-in-Waiting ; and Mdlle. der Oablints, Maid of
Honour. The King will be attended by the following
officers as aides-de-camp :—Captain Euendorff, Captain
Retsensteio, and Captain Buddea. Dr. Lea and Dr. Kauf-
mann, Physicians to the King, will accompany his Majesty,
and M Pabst will be in attendance upon the youthful
Crown Prince.

It has already been stated that the King and Queen will
occupy the i esidence of the Hanoverian Legation in Gros-
venor-place, during their sojourn in this country.
Some idea of the magnitude of the King's retinue may
be formed from this feet, that it has been nec nary to en-
gage between 30 and 40 beds in the neighbourhood, for the
different members of the royal suite.

It is hardly necessary to add that the chief object of the
King's visit to England is to stand sponsor for the infant
Prince—his nephew. His Majesty has not visited England
since he left this country with his father, on the demise of
King William IV. in 1837.
The King of Hanover is quite blind.
London, England, 1853-06-16

GREECE.

- . .
The affair of Mr. King, tho Amerman misstonary,
has entered into a new phase. The 12,000 or 15000
drachms, which he demanded as indemnification for
a piece of ground which had been taken from
him for public purpose', was granted at once. The
second demand of Mr. Marsh, the American Minister,
has been rejected by the cabinet. It was, that the sen-
tence of the Areopagus, condemning Mr. King to a
fortnight's imprisonment, should be annulled. 'the
two American frigates which were expected had
not arrived the 27th May.

ITALY.

The official journal of Piedmont publishes a do-
tailed account of the dispute at New York between
the Americas authorities and the captain of the Sar-
dinian vessel the Giovanni. The Sardinian govern-
ment declares its full approbation of the conduct of
the Sardinian captain and the Sardinian Chargé
d'Affaires._

Count Cavour replied to the address of the city. of
Chambery, thanking the Cabinet for the mmosesion
of the Victor Emmanuel Railway, that it was the in-
tention of the government to establish in Savoy a
national bank and a complete system of railway

l'iiWer;iicelebrated on the 10th the concession of
the railway which is to unite that town with the
capital.
A treaty of commerce his just been concluded be-
tween Russia and Naples.

SPAIN.

On the 9th it wu again rumoured at Madrid that
the entire cabinet was about to resign, and that
General Lersundi, President of the Council, would be
charged with the construction of a new administra-
tion. Another rumour was that, for the present,
M. Bermudez de Castro alone will resign, and that
be will be succeeded by M. Alejandro Castro.
M. Francisco Pacheco, the ministerial candidate,
had been elected at Vigo, the opposition candidate
having withdrawn from the contest.
M. Gonzales Bravo had refused the Legation of
Washington, and M. Llorente that of Turin.

GERMANY.
PRUSSIA.

Letters from Berlinsialetiiit since the arrival of
the last despatches from St. Petersburg announcing
the final resolution of the Czar, numerous cabinet
councils have been held at Sanasouci to determine the
position of Prussia in relation to the eastern question.
It is remarked in Berlin that the first question which
arises to test the recent alliance between Russia,
Austria, and Prussia is one on which the first-men-
tioned power has interests directly opposed to those
of the other two. In 1850 Prussia yielded to the
counsels of the Czar and made great sacrifices on the
altar of peace. The time has now arrived for
Nicholas to practise the lessons which he has taught.

from which it appears that the total niunher of shares

a capital of I:1740001, on which 35.900/. have already been

The number of (states bought is ten, of which one
has been allotted, and three are ready for allotmeht.
Tito ex 'naive onntni:te., since their second report its

anent left open to tender, in persuance of the nap-
lotion of ttio general meeting of mernhen os the

The committee have been enabled, by surrendering a con-
tract for a purchase of en estate, to eft.et a very advan-
tageous arrangement, by which the amount of nearly 5,0001.
prod; has been realised to the society. Thus the anticipa-
Vona of eontinasil success have been fully realised during
the past quarter; and the committee have every reason to
believe that in the next report, which will be at the next
quarterly meetith; in September, the results will be still
snore gratifying.
The report was adopted by acclamations.

AUSTRIA.

A Vienna letter of the 10th, in Vosis Gazette,
states that the visit of the Emperor of Austria to
Croatia, which was fixed for the 20th. will not take
place until after the arrangement of the Turco-Rus-
sian affair. It would probably be inconveniest for
the Emperor to meet his Sclavonic subjects just now.
Doubtless he remembers a remarkable deputation of
Sclaves which arrived at Vienna in 1649, naively
requesting that Austria should found a separate in-
dependent Sicavonic State and become its protector.
Count Leiningen goes.to Breacia and not to St., Pe-
tersburg, says the same correspondent.
Baron de Nleyendorff, the Russian Minister, has
had a conference with Lord Westmoreland, and
when it wee concluded couriers were bent off with
despatches for London and St. Petersb.mg. Since

the return of M. de Meyendortf, the Council of
Ministers has deliberated on the Turkish question
under the presidency of the Emperor. New Instruc-
tions have been sent to M. de Bruck, Internuncio of
Au%trin. These events are subsequent to the receipt
of the important declaration from St. Petersburg.
The Russian pricy councillor, M. de Tengobursky,
has arrivet at Vienna from St. Petersburg. The
presence of this gentleman in Vienna is a sure sign
that the Russian government is particularly desirous
of having exact and minute information of what is
I going on. M. de Tengoborsky is the author• of sere-
rat statistical works.

PROPOSED PARK FOR FINSBURY.

Last evening a public meeting was held at Sad-
let's Wells Theatre, for the purpnse of considering a memo-
rial to be presented to the government on this subject. Lord
it. °nosy ENO'S, M.P., occupied the chair, and stated that
he considered the meeting in some degree tinged with mor-
tification, as he bad expected that after the agitation cn the
subject which they had made three years since, the delay,
he said, required to be accounted for, and for that reason he
would give them a history of the impediments which had
occurred. His lordship then detailed the circumstances of
the several changes of administration which had since taken
place, and to them attributed the delay which he and they
so much regretted.
Mr. T. IItiNCOSIDE, M.P., on coming forward to propose
the first resolution, was received in the most enthusiastic
manner. He said he thought that in having recourse to
deputation' in which he had no faith, they were beginning
at the wrong end. They went to the Hornemffice, from
which they were sent to the Woods and Forests—to the
bead gardener of the government, who might professionally
aid them in laying out their park ; and then that official
was sure to say that it was a matter of money, and that he
could do nothing without the Treasury. After that
answer they would have to go to the First Lord, when he
would look to the Chseeollor of the Eeehequer, who, like
Lord Burleigh, would shako his head and say that it would
be necessary to go to the House of Common.. Thus it was
that finally they would have to go to parliament. He
should therefore suggest that their chairman should move
an address to the Queen upon the subject, and thus origi-
nate it at the fountain-head. With this suggestion he
would move the resolution entrusted to him, which was an
expression of the meeting's regret at the delay which bad
taken place, after two successive governments had inserted
notices m the Gazette of their intention to form the park.
Mr. WOODWARD seconded the motion, which was unani-
mously agreed to.
The LOUD MAYOR moved the next resolution, to the
effect that the immediate opening of the park was a matter
of serious importance, and spoke against any longer delay
upon the ground that as the value of building land was
every day rising, it would soon be impossible to obtain the
required space except at an enormous expense.
Mr. ALEXANDER seconded the resolution which was
likewise adopted.
Mr. SLANE! next moved, and Mr. CHARLES GILPIN
seconded the adoption of an address to Lord Aberdeen,
setting forth all the particulars of the delay, and praying
for its termination, and in doing so said that a friend of
his was willing to supply the money if government would
grant the act.
A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the pro-
ceedings.

SECRET TRADITION OF ROME.

Last Monday, Professor Filopanti delivered to a
numerous and very respectable audience his crncluding
lecture on the early history of the Eternal City. The
lecture consisted of two parts. First, be explained, ac-
cording to hie hypothesis of the influence of a secret society
on the destinies of ancient Rome, several of the events
which were regarded as miraculous by the ancient credulity,
and are rejected as legendary by the Niebuhrian school.
Egeria was an instrument of the brotherhood. By her
beauty and by the mystery surrounding her, she won the
heart of King Numa Pompilius. In the shade of her grotto
she lavished on him the, tender caresses of a loving wife,
and the counsels of a superior wisdom, which were inspired
to her by the Adepts. Those counsels prevailed on Num,
to propose, and on the people to sanction and udopt, tho
most useful public instructions. The eagle which lifted
up in the air the cap of Tarquinius Prisms, and
then replaced it on his head, had been profess-
edly trained by the Augurs, or by his wife Toraquil.
The tame eagle of Louis Napoleon at Boulogne was au un-
successful imitation of Tarquin's eagle. The mysterious
voice in the forest of Arne was a human one, aided by a
speaking trumpet. We need not wonder at the superati-
tion of the ancients taking it for the voice of Sylvanue,
when we see in our days the creakings of tables and of
ladies' toes taken for the language of the departed some.
Mr. Layard's- discoveries at Nineveh prove the speaking
trumpet to have been well known to the ancients.
In the second part of his lecture, Professor Filopanti ex-
amined one of the principal objections of Niebuhr against
the authenticity of the early Roman history. According
to the great German critic, the records of early Rome were
destroyed by the Gauls. Signor Filopanti remarked that
the capitol, where the archives and the public muniments
were kept, did not fall a prey to the barbarians. The
greatest part of London was burnt in 1666. Would it be
logical to draw from this fact the inference that the history
of England previous to Charles the Second is a forgery ?
Moreover, there were direct proofs that the " Annales
Maximi " escaped the fire kindled by the Gauls. He also
recapitulated the answer given by him, in the two former
lectures, to the other principal objections of Niebuhr, and
concluded by saying that, since there was no proof at all of
the falseness of the early history of Rome, it bad a right to
be restored to its former authority, by the general reasons
which make any other history credible. To reject the
authenticity of the early annals of Rome was, in a certain
manner, to decapitate the history of mankind. The pro-
fessor was throughout listened to not only with great at-
tention, but with evident sympathy, and was warmly ap-
plauded at the end of his lecture.

ECUADOR BONDS.

A meeting of bondholders was held yesterday at
the:London 'laver!), Bishopsgate-street.
J. D. Fowtts, Esq., took the chair, and mid the cor-
respondence between the committee, Mr. Mocattu, and the
Senor F. J. Aguira, in reference to the adjustnunt of the
foreign debt.
Mr. HAZLEWOOD (ono of the committee) said it seemed
to him that the papers just read were rather Img, so that
he had better in a very few words put their real position
before the bondholders. The entire active debt wee

1,400,0001., and the arrears were 2,3110,0e01. That was the
extent of the claims of tho bondholders. The Ecuador
government offered to recognise the debt, and to give
them a certain dividend of ono per cent. per an-
num. They also offered a ccrtaia qusatity of their
entire Custom-house receipts as security for their
money, which might go on increasing till 6 per cent. pet
annum, when it would stop. So much as respected the active
portion of the debt. In regard to the 2,300,00111. arrears
they offered to capitalize one-half of that into active debt for
400,0001. The government said they could not do anything
better than that; as to the other half of it, they said they
had a certain sum of money to receive from Peru,
which should be applied to purchase that stock.
It was probable they would give them some claims
upon their waste lands, in which case it might be more
valuable than money. He looked upon the claim from
Peru as most valuable, and the more so, as it was at one
time never expected to be acknowledged. (Hear.)
Some discussion took place in respect to the terms.

Mr. GUEDALLA prOpt6d it shoUld be left to the com-
mittee to arrange matters in rtspeet to the government
proposal in such a way as would be most for the interest of
the bondholders. .

The CHAIRMAN put the resolution, which u u agreed to,
and the meeting adjourned.

SOCIETY FOR IMPROVING THE CONDITIOA
OF THE LABOURING CLASSEN.

Yesterday the 9th annual meeting of the ft lends
and promoters of this society terk place at Willis'. it I,IIUS,
King-street, St. James's—the Earl of SitArrssiit'itv in the
chair, supported by Lord Ilii'do, Viscount Ehrington, I, rd
Itadstock, Lord reversham, Sir IlarryVerney, Mr.
Mr.blonckton Milnes,M.P., Captain Scobell, M South-
wend Smith, &c.

The SECRETAILY read the annual report, which stated
that the operations of the society were of a satis-
factory character; but, for the first time these seven years,
the committee were unable to announce any new results.
In the cottage allotment department the operations of the
society had experienced little change There had been an
increase of 100 allotments during the past year, making a
total of 1,261; and it was satisfactory that during the year
no case had occurred amongst the society's tenants of any
violation of the law, and many instances could bo riven of
men having been reclaimed from vicious primices. The
ledging4souses had shown during the year the following
result :-Tho Model Buildings, Bagnigge-wells : Total re-
ceipts. '8751. 7s. 7d.; expenses, 821. 6+.8d.; balance,

s.reet Lodging-house: Receipts, 724/. 7s. 4.1. ; expenses,
221/. lbs. Id.; balance, 1491. 9s. 3d. In the Port-
pool.lano establishment there was a rental of 141.
per week, and the number of tenants in the single woman's
house was generally about f+s. The health of the inmates
of these establishments had been uniformly far above the
average of the claw to which they belonged. With re-
ference to kindred works which had bee* carried on
during the past sear in different parts of the country, the
report gave a satisfactory account ; but concluded with ex-
peening a hope that increased effort+ would be made to
promote the continued eucceu of the undertaking.
The financial statement showed that the income for the
year amounted to 9,7261. ss. 2d., and the expenditure
9,696/. 9s. 4d. ; leaving a balance of 29!. Ida. 10d.

I.lrd Iladdo and Mr. Shiley ad Ireasedthe meeting in
fivuur of the adc•ptiun of the report, and this having been
agreed to, resolutions were brought forward by Viscount
Ebrington and others, in furtherance of the objects of the
society, and were unanimously adopted.
The meeting then separated with the usual vote of thanks.

THE WAGES QUESTION.

There is no change in the aspect of the striko at
Stockport; but of that at Blackburn there is now some
hope of an lirrangement. Since the masters gave a fort-
night's notice to the mills generally the hands have been
willing to return to work in those mill. where they had
turned out precipitately, and all the mills are at work. In
one establishment the hands have stated that their wish
was to obtain an advance of 10 per cent. if they could, but
that they did not contemplate a strike, and that they are
satisfied to go on with present wages if their employers
find that they cannot concede the terms. At Preston some
of the masters are under notice from the operatives ; and
at Manchester two large concerns have come to a stand
this week—one is that of Mr. Plant, a large fine spinner
in Upton-street, whose piecers had given notice for an ad-
vance; the whole of the hands of this large establishment
have struck. The counts of yarn spun by them are from
120's to 250's or 300's. The other operatives who have
struck are those of Messrs. Penny and Wood, City-road,
Manchester, manufacturers of domestics. The workpcople
of Moen. Taylor and Co., chain-makers, London-road,
Manchester, have also struck for a rise of wages ; and the
fustian shearers and dyers in that city have likewise de-
manded an advance.

SPAIN.

The JLub•id Graeae of the 22nd contains royal
decrees accepting the resignation, by M. Bermudez
de Castro, of the Ministry of Finance, appointing
M. Louis Pastor his successor, and naming M. Cal-
deron de la Bann and M. Moyano Ministers of
Foreign .%ffitirs at.d Public Works. Before the
nomination of M. Calderon de la Ilarca to the Minis-
try of Foreign Affairs, General Zarco del Valle was
named, but he declined to accept the post. Doubts
were expressed by some persons whether M. de Is
Barra, who represents Spain at Washington, will
not imitate the example of M. Ayllon, the Spanish
minister at Vienna, who, under similar circumstances,
declined the portfolio of Foreign Affairs at Madrid.
At present General Lersundi's cabinet has not boasted
a foreign minister.
According to the Xfcioit, the retirement of the
late Finance Minister was preceded by a very

nut CLARE ELECTION.

A i the grand strategic reparations G.e the elec-
tion must have appeared tsceedingiy siliy to those
who witnessed the, proceedings at the nomination is
Ennis yesterday. The town was crowded with
troops, every available place being used as quarters
for the,. military and constabulary ; but so completely I
useless was all this display of force, which the locai
magistrates in their wisdom thought it necessary to'
have in readiness, that fifty policemen were found
more than sufficient to pc! him the day's dutr, al: the I
remaining forces, both of constabulary and soldiers,
being kept out of sight. Nor was it any intimida-
tiet caused by these preparations that had the effect
of keeping the people quiet; but it was obvious to
every one that the most perfect apathy prevailed,
and that it w 24 with some difficulty that even
a show of popular fc. ling could he got up
by the parade,_ of a few trades banners and
a wretched bard of mu. 4. The body of the
courthouse was not quite filled by the mob, and even
• number of those who occupied •it were women; so
that, with the exception of some shouting and yell-
ing, the affair passed off in the tamest manner pos-
sible. Sir John Fitzgerald and Mr. Cornelius
O'Brien were accompanied by Sir Edward Fitz-
gerald, William Joseph Skerrett, David John Wilson,
and several Roman catholic clergymen, including
the Ear. Messrs. Quaid, P.P., Callaghan's Mills,
John M`Nlalion. Miltown Malbay, Daniel Cor-
bett, P.E., Quin. Colonel Vandeicur was accom-
pm.ied by Sir Hugh Dillon Massy, Bart., William
Butler, Bunahow ; William Fitzgerald, John N.
Bonynge, Captain Francis M'Namara, George
Walton, Charles Mahon, Thomas Keane, Thomas
Lyngard, Crnsttale Molonv, John Gabbett, Thomas
Filkington, John Blood, -John Smith, Jonas Stud-
dert, &c. Lieuttuant-General Sir John Fitzge-
rald was proposed by his relative, Sir Edward
Fitzgerald, and seconded by the lbw. Mr.
111Quaill; and Mr. C. O'Brien was proposed
by Mr. W. J. Skcrrett, and seconded by Mr.
David John Wilson. Colonel Vandeleur was then
nominated, amidst a scene of some confusion, by Sir
Hugh Dillon Massy, Mr. William Fitzgerald acting
as seconder. Mr. 1). J. ‘i'ilson was also formally
nominated, and the several candidates successively
addressed the assemblage. The show of bands was
decidedly in favour of Fitzgerald and O'Brien, the
popular candidates, and a pull was demanded on the
part of Colonel Vandeleur.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK-I.ANE.—THIS DAY.
The supply of English Wheat at market this morning
was scarcely worth naming, and the supply from
abroad is almost exclusively composed of two large cargoes
from:the Mediterranean. Mark-lone was again numerously
attended by continental buyers of Wheat and Flour, and
although the business transacted was not so extensive
as on the two previous days of this week,
owing to the high pretensions of holders, considerable
sales were made at an advance of Is. to 2s. per qr. upon
Wheat on the spot, and 3s. to 4s. per qr. upon floating and
free on hoard cargoes.
Flour must be noted fully Is. per bushel dearer.
Barley scarce, and the extreme rates of Monday arc weU
supported.
Oats were again in short supply, and ready buyers had
to pay GI more money.
Beaus and Peas scarce, and rather dearer.

TURKEY.

Letters from the Lower Danube speak of further
preparations made by the Russians for crossing the
Ottoman frontier. The Czar appears to count ou
the adherence of the Ilospodar of Itloldavis, for
accounts from Jassy, of the 17th, state that the
Russian Consul-General had called on Prince Ghika
to hold himself in readiness to provide for the seem-
modotion of Russian troops. Thus the arch enemy
of all revolutionists does not hesitate to summon the
subject of a neighbouring monarch to violate his duty
to his sovereign.
It is statecVthat on the 11th instant detachments of
Russian soldiers began to arrive at Skulent, a town
of Bessarabia a little to the north of Jassy.
The official Austrian Correspondence contains as
article on the Russo-Ottoman difficulty. The writer,
distinguishing between the substance and the form
of the Russian demands, argues that, " the first and
' most important concession has been granted by the
firmans respecting the holy places, and the later fi emits
assuring the communities of the Oriental church, se
that only the formnl side of the question terrain; to be
settled," as if the form of the Porte'e engagement
were not the esseneo of the dispute. The article con.
eludes with the statement —" lnere is reason to ex-
pect that a suitable expedient will he found for re.
moving the remaining formal difficulties withoutpre.
judiee to the dignity or interests of either party.'

HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK.

The official report says :—The deaths registered in
London in the week that ended last Saturday were 990,
and show an increase on the return of the previous week.
In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843.62 the
average number was 976, which, if raised in proportion to
increase of population, becomes 1,074. Hence it appears
that the actual mortality of last week is less than the esti-
mated amount by 84.
On a comparison of the results of the last two weeks a
small increase is observed in all the more important classes
of disease, except of " diseases of the respiratory organs,"
which shows a decrease from 127 cases to 116. Zymotic
diseases in the aggregate rose from 208 to 214; amongst
these diarrhees increased from 24 to 33, typhus from 30 to
62 ; while measles fell from 20 to 15, scarlatina from 39 to
27, hoopiug-cough from a to nit.
The following three cases of cholera were registered in
the week:—At Fulham, 3, Willow-place, North-end, on
18th June, the daughter of a brickmaker, "cholera Wan-
tam." At 2, Princes-street, Spitalfields, on 24th June, the
daughter of a pencil-case maker, aged 6 months, " cholera
infantum (3 days)." In the sub-district of St. Mary (St.
George in the Bast), at 9, Severne.street, on 19th June, a
coalwhipper, aged 33 years, died of "cholera (13 hours)."
Last week the births of 805 boys and 740 girls, in all
1546 children, were registered in London. The average
number in eight comet ponding weeks of the years 1845-52
was 1,442.
At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height
of the barometer in the week was 29.597 in. The mean
temperature was .57.4 deg., which is 3.1 deg. below the
average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily
temperature was below the average on every day, except
Friday and Saturday, and this depression on Monday
and Tuesday amounted to more than 7 deg. The highest
temperature was 78.7 deg., and occurred on Friday ; the
lowest was 44.1 deg., and occurred on Tuesday. The
mean difference between the dew point temperature and
air temperature in the week was 7.7 deg. ; the greatest
difference was 20.1 deg., and occurred on Friday; the
least differences were 1.6 deg. and 1.5 deg. on Wednesday
and Friday. The wind blew from the north or north-
east on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and from
the synth-west at the beginning and end of the week.

WHITE TROUSERS.

A circular letter from the Adjutant-General, dated
Horse Guards, 27th June, 18d3, says:—" The use of white
linen trousers by general and staff officers is henceforth to
be discontinued within the United Kingdom, as well as in
the North American colonies, and the blue and Oxford mix-
ture trousers, prescribed by the regulations, are to be worn
throughout the year, with the dress and undress uniform
respectively."
[Surely the private soldier will now be relieved from the
injurious nuisance of white trousers also. What is good for
general and staff officers must be good for men also.]

MR. HANNAY'S LECTURES. Last night the
third of Mr. Hannay's lectures on Satirical Literature,
was delivered at the Literary Institution in Edwards-street.
The subject included early European satire, Boileau,
Butler, and Dryden. Boileau, as the oracle of French
literary men until the period of the Restoration (and of the
Reformation as regards literature in France), was made the
occasion for introducing some excellent criticism of the
classical and conventional forms of art. Butler was treated
both as the satirist belonging to the cavalier party, and as
the satirical observer of human weaknesses in general ; and
the lecturer ended with an admirable " appreciation" (as
the French say) of the character and compositions of Dry-
den, the father of English satire in that form through
which it has become most celebrated. The next lecture is
announced for Tuesday, the Itk July, and is to be devoted
to the satires of Pope, Swift, and Churchill.

July, he should call the serious attention of the house to
the rearlution passed by the bow cm the 11th of Novem-
ber—namely, that if it shall mow that any person has
obtained, or has endeavoured to obtain a scat in the house
by bribery, or corrupt madras, this house will proceed
with the utmost severity ',skit such person. And that
in connexion therewith he &WI tall attention to the re-
port of the committee respestlag the Plymouth election,
and should move that the Attorney-General be directed to
prosecute Charles John Mare, Esq., the late member for
Plymouth, for bribery and other corrupt practices. (Groans

GERMANY.

Letters from Vienna of the Gth report the arrival
of M. de Meycndorff, Russian minister at Vienna,
from St. Petersburg. Baron Bruck, Austrian inter-
nuncio at Constantinople, wu to embark at Trieste
on the same day for his post. " The unusual activity
reigning in the Russian legation here," says a corre-
spondent, "inducts the belief that great exertions
will be employed to resolve the Eastern question
with the pen and not with the sword, notwithstand-
ing the alarming Bourse reports which circulate."
Bruck has instructions to do his best to procure a
pacific termination of existing difficulties.

CURIOUS Fscr.—A dog crab was caught among
the rocks near the Haven at Tynemouth last week, with a
sixpence firmly grown into the external shell of the back.
The men who obtained this curiosity foolishly broke the
' shell in order to secure the money. The only way by
which the presence of the sixpence can be accounted for, is
by supposing that during the annual production of the new
shell, the crab had lain with the newly formed pellum on
the coin, which had adhered to the skin by this means,
and eventually became firmly fixed in the place in which it
was found.—NeTca,.i'e Chronicle.
