THE LATE VISCOUNT MELBOURNE.

The Viscount Melbourne., whose death wag an-
nounced in this paper on Saturday, expired at precisely
10 minutes after 6 O'clock on Friday evening at Brock( t
Hall, his seat, near Welwyn, Herta.
The following particulars of the illness of the late Viscount
may be relied upon as correct:—His lordship was taken un.
well about six weeks back, with symptoms which were con-
sidered by the ordinary medical attendants to denote dye-
pew, and his lordship was treated tcoor tingly, without
apparently any beneficial result. At length Dr. Holland
was summoned from London for his advice, and the noble
patient was em sidered somewhat bet,er, when he suffered a
relapse, end juundies of aggravated form set in, and he con-
', tinned to sink hourly up to his dissolution. Dr. Holland paid
'his lordship his last visit on Sunday, the 19th instant,
and then informed the relatives of his lordship that he could
hold out no hones of his lordship's ultimate recovery, in
which opinion Dr. Thomas, of Hatfield, who was the con-
stant attendant on the viscount, coincided. Viscountess
Palraerston had, in consequence of the dangerous illness of
hie lordship, repaired to Bracket hall, where 1.,,,rd and Lady
&mush had previously arrived from Derbyshire ; and the
Hen. Hrs. George Lamb and Miss Cuyler assembled at the
hall to await the great change. Viscount Palmerston ha.
also been staying at Brocket-hall since Tuesday last. On
Wednesday faint h pre were entertained that a favourable
change in the condition of his lordship was perceptible ; but
in a few hours there was a relapse, and the noble invalid
afterwards sank rap'dly until death ensued.
The late viscount was a governor of the Charter Hones, an
elder brother of the Trinity House, and fel'ow of the Royal
Society.
The viscounty devolves mita brother, Lord Besuvale, for
many years ambusador at the court of Vienna. His lord-
ship married in 1841, Mille. de 1114,zhan, daughter of his
Excellency Baron the Prussian envoy at Vienne.

CHOLER.A.-00 Saturday the following came were
reported to the Board of Health :—Hackney-road, 1, fatal ;
Camberwell, 1, fatal ; Southwark, 3, 2 fatal ; total in Lon-
don only five came. At Sunderland 1, and at Barking one
fatal ere ograrred ; bet in Scotland the disease has become
my ftemidable, es will be seen by the following enumera-

from lot November, 88, 8 fatal ; leveresk from Ist Novem-
bre, 2; Cramped from let November, 8 ; Lasswede, Loan-
head, from lit Nov ,34.—Oer correspondent at Devosport,
writing yesterday, says, tt Rumours are afloat here that the
cholera has made its appearance on boad the Cadet, female
cowrie, ship, bound to Van Diemen's Land, which put into
Plymouth Bound so the 20th inst. from stress of weather.
Prom the silence observed on the subject by every me con-
nected with the public deportment., I have not been able to
ascertain the fact. Two deaths have certainly occurred on
beard since her aerial, and the ship has, in consequence,
been detained till further orders."

lititYLE—SosiVEsr itT.—At the meeting of the
board on Saturday, Mr. Lewis having been c illed to the
ehair, Mr. Stephens, in illustration of the mode in which the
rates were squandered, said that accoroing to the proposed
plan the CON of the new County Lunatic Asylum was to be
only 100,0001 ; the magistrates, however, were enabled to
order such additions that it would be increased to 138,0001.,
and there wee nothing to prevent them increasing that sum
by another 38,0001.—Mr. Bird said that if they were not
well watched, the magistrates would bring the sum to
386,0001.—Mr. Broughton, the magistrate, admitted that the
subject was one well worthy the a, teatime of the vestry and
rate-payers, and should be well investigated by them.—Mr.
Garnett complained of the conduct of the Conamimieners of
Baths and Washhouses, who refused to give to the auditors of
the rate-pa Ten appointed by the vestry. an abstract of their re-
seiptesaddisbunements.Sueh conduct was highly ealeulated to
excite an unfavourable opinion as to the mode in which the
moneys voted for their use were disbursed. (Hear.) He. there-
fore moved, " That the commissioners be requested to furnish
the auditors of the parish with an account of their receipts
and disbursements."—Mr. Wingfield seconded and Drs.
Gray and Joseph supported the motion.—Mr. Williams, ex-
M P. for Covent•y, although favourable to baths and wash-
houses,
was opposed to any power being vested in the com-
missioners, maid a plan and estimate of their cost were fur-
nished. The humane gentleman who, as a member of the
vestry, recommended their erection, reaigoed his seat as
soon a. his recommendation was adopted, and had himself
been appointed clerk to the commimiocera at a 'Obey of
1001. a year. (Laughter.) Another vestryman we. elected
the architect. (Renewed laughter.) After some discussion
the Mika was carried.
