BREXTFORD.—Since cholera Pint made its appearance in
Brentford, it has raged most malignantly. upwards of 60
deaths baying occurred within a month. The disease sp.
pears to be increasing, several (Laths and new cues haying
occurred yesterday. In one spot, not more than 20 yards
square, there has been 9 fatal CUM and 40 yards further 3
deaths hive taken place within a week. This is in a part of
a back lane running par*llel to the main street. linntford,
with every facility, is very badly drained. The filth and
wretched dwellings of some of its courts and alleys are
dreadful in the extreme, and the laxity of.itsparish (amnia
indeed criminal. Notwithstanding the mortality, an In-
spector of Nuisances was net appointed by the guardians
until lan Wednesday.
BRADFORD.—There was much excitement in the town on
Saturday morning last, arising from the report of three
deaths from cholera, during the night, at one house at New
Leeds, and of two deaths in London of well-known to
men. This alarm had the effect of convening an extraordi-
nary meeting of the guardians, for the purpose of devising
steps to prevent, if possible, the further spread of the disuse.

Coy,.Xritr.—Six cases formed the subjects of coroner(
inquiries in this town during this week.
SALIIIBURY.—The cholera has somewhat abated in this
city. The bishop has issued a circular to e Anion the. people
against intemperance, and recommending good diet. cleanli-
, nem, warm clothing, ventilation, good drainage, cheerful
disposition cf mind, and to avoid Epsom salu and all strong
purgative,.
M•vaoissEr.— The local papers repot that the cho-
lera has extended into Cornwall. Last week the
sues became so frequent both of cholera and of
diarrhce 1, that the only resident surgeon in the town
was soon knocked up under his labour, and an ap-
plication was made for medical assistance to the pre-
lemion at Truro. So great was the panie into which the
inhabitants of Mevagissey had fallen, that the members of
the Board of Health were obliged to suit t is carrying the
dead to their graves, and scarcely any one could be found to
make the e,itiu. In the course of last week there were lZ
deaths in a population of 2,000.

DCNDEE.—The disease is spreading? in Dundee. The Ad.
vertiser reports u follows Friday, 15 elves and 11 deaths;
Saturday, fl cans and 11 deaths ; Sunday, 24 cues and 6
'deaths ; Monday, at 8 p.m , 18 cares and 11 deaths ; prw
vicasly reviled, 299 eases and 151 deaths. Total, 348 cam
sad 196 deaths. There is nothing like this at present in any
other put of Scotland'

The apppointment of Mr. George Bennet, Q C., as
eommierloaer for inquiring into the Casdewellan
=sauces kat been much canvassed. He is closely
connected with the Pennsfathee family, and his eon-
In-law is proprietor and editor of a leading tory
role. Mr. Bennet himself is a tory, without any n-
oes bigotry. But though he may be in the
e a man of liberal cbaraetar—if not liberal poli-
tics—it were to be wished that souse one less con-
nected with social toryism, had been selected. To
bring in any report which would seriously compro-
mise Lord Roden would sorely try Mr. Bennet's feel-
inigt.may also be doubted whether Mr. Bennet has
now the energy or determination necessary in a°
peculiar an ingirry. His health has much declined of
late. He has been at the bar Moos 1600, and even
on this present circuit spoke of ceasing to hold the
crown prsmontonhip, any longer. The statement,
however, in this morning's Freeman that " Mr. Ben-
net's bar business is at an end, but not before its
time," is a gross error. I have seen him engaged in
very heavy cases durirg the last term.
The decision of the Master of the Rolls that he'
would not appoint attorney. or eol?citors to be re-
ceivers on properties under the courts is much can-
vassed here, where there is a large professional
interest likely to be alheted by it. Masters Henn
and Litton have both dissent-d emphatically from the
ruling of the Master of the Rolls, and he is not sup-
ported by the Lord Chancellor. It is to be expected
that the attorney inter. at would be clamorous against
wlui'ever interferes with their pickings. On this
querion the Master of the Rolls sands alone, as the
four gluten in Coaneery differ from h.m.
