TO THE EDITOR OF THE EXPRESS.

gentlemen of ace —11;;;;Iof health
having the fear of the College of Physicians before
their eyes, have now refrained from offering any
practical advice on the subject of the prevention or
treatment of cholera, remembering the severe casti-
gation they received from the college for their pre-
sumption in 1848.
Allow me, therefore, to offer a few practical ob-
servations, derived from; much experience in the
prevention and very successful treatment of the
disease.
I was residing in the north-west of England when
the disease broke out in 1832, and I was the first to
recommend house to house visitation ; which 1 would
strongly reiterate now—not by parochial officials,
but by tho clergyman of the parish and a medi-
cal man, dividing the parish into districts for conve-
nience and accuracy, instructing the ignorant and
encouraging the timid, supplying food where neces-
sary, obtaining consent and directing assistance in
thoroughly cleansing and whitewashing the dwellings
of the poor.

It was truly miraculous, the beneficial results of
these proceedings in removing the disease from in-
fected places, and preventing it in others. These
Samaritan offices can best be performed by the gen-
tlemen I have mentioned, for in all cases the mind
must be administered to as well as the body.
I have sent an intimation to the clergyman of the
place in which 1 reside, that I am willing to accom-
pany him three or four hours eve, y day, and I am
quite sure that my medical brethren et erywhei e
would gladly assist the minister in this truly phi-
lanthropic and Christian duty.

DrPLII4, SLIT. 23.

The Lnrde of the Admiralty steamed into Queens.
town at 2 o'clock yesteitlay afternoon on board the
Blackethic:: %% be tlw 'lt•rt ible,
the (hooter. rod the Baambee. Their hirdvitiol
%%ere ',Mutt d cw 11.. g-ship. Vast
crowds were assembled; and altogether the presence
of the fleet, and the visits from the Admiralty Board,
have produced great excitement in Cork and its
vicinity, and attracted an immense concourse of
strangers. The Lords of the Admiralty were to dine
last evening with Admiral Carroll ; this day was to
be devoted to an examination of the stores and vari-
ous departments at Hanibowline, and to-morrow,
according to the arrangements that had been made,
their lordships are to visit the ships of the fleet in
detail.

The preparations made in Limerick for the np-
proaching visit of the Lord Lieutenant premise many
interesting beetles there. A trip down the Shannon,
to give his excellency an opportunity of seeing the
finest part of that noble river, and the outpurt of
Foynes, so often recommended as a western packet
station, has been arranged, and will not be the least
gratifying portion of the fetes. The opening of the
new docks at Limerick, the turning ot the first sod
of the Foynes Railway, the great Munster fair, and
the Limerick races, till afford his excellency abun-
dant occupation during the two or three days of his
stay in the south.
The following important order has been issued
under the seal of the Poor-law Commissioners for
Ireland, and with the approbation of the Lord Lieu-
tenant. It is addressed to the guardians of poor-law
unions, to others entrusted with the care and manage-
ment of streets and public ways, and to the occupiers
of houses in general:
Whereas, by an order of his Excellency the Lad Lieute-
nant and Privy Council, bearing date the 17th day of

act paved in the fifteenth year of the reign of her Majesty,
intituled "An Act to provide for the better Distribution,
Support, and Management of Medil Charities in Ireland ;
and to amend an Acted the /Lew-nthca Teat of her Majesty, to
provide for the Execution of the Laws for Relief of the Poor
in Ireland," the Commissioners fur adminicering the Laws
' for Relief of the Poor iu Ireland are authorised to execute in
Ireland Ire powers Aid purposes of the end "Nuisances Re-

the following session of parliament amending the same,
called " The Nuisances Removal and Diseaaes Prevention
Amendment Act,1849;"
And whereas the said Commissioners for administering
ti.e Laws for Relief of the Pour iu Ireland are, uy the said
recited acts, authorised to issue such directions and mania-
ti, ns ue they shall think fit fur the puce:Aim% (as ter as
po.sible) or mitigation of epidemic or cantagious diseases:
Now, therefore, in exercise of the authority vested in us
as aforesaid, we, the sa.d commissioners, do issue the ful-
lowing e irectious and regulations :
"Article I.—All trustees, Evenly surveyor , and others

Parish meetings, to organise precautionary mea-
sures against cholera, have been commenced in
, Dublin.

The number of persons who visited the Great Ex-
hibition yesterday was 7403. The proprietors of
hotels in Dublin are beginning to show some wish to
encourage the Exhibition, by purchasing tickets to
a large amount.

The Northern 11l has the following, from a
Banbridge correspondent:

The weather has been very favourable for harvest pur-
poses this week, and a goaddeal of grain has been stacked ;
the most of oats and wheat is now cut—and the " merry
churns " are now at work among our rural population. I
have not to alter my previously expressed opinion about the
potato crop. I have been through the country this week,
and, although the weather is very favourable, the reports
of the crop me bad; and, from my own inspection, I must
say I cannot contradict these unfavourable rumours.

The following communication from Sir J. Nicholls
was read yesterday at the South Dublin Board of
Guardians :

16th September, 1863.
I went through the workhouse on last Tuesday. I have
again examined a part of it to-day. I have also visited the
establishments for the accommodation of the male and
female children. The house is, I think, in excellent order,
and the officers appear active and zealous, and fully sensible
of the importance of the duties confided to them. The
females generally appear well and euiticiently employed ;
but there is little or no employment fur the elderly infirm
men, which is to be lamented, and I venture to suggest
that something should be done to remedy this defect.
I am sensible of the difficulty of finding suitable em-
ployment for thee description of persons, but it is
very desirable that, if possible, they should not be left
in entire idlenns. The great number of young able-
bodied women in the house is much to be regretted, and
is a matter well deserving the earnest !Meatiest of the guar-
dians. (Emigratiun al pears to me to be the remedy for
this evil.) The establishments for the children are less
eonvenieutly situatid than could be wished; and there is
want of employment for the boy, which might, perhaps, be
most readily supplied by the addition of some laud to the
premises at present uccapied, if a mere eligible situation
cannot be procured.
In recording the above observations, I beg to be con-
sidered as dome so with the utmost respect ter the guar-
dians, who, I trust, will receive these remarks as coming
from one who, although entirely unauthorised to advise or
direct, fee:s the must lady interest in the well-working of
the South Dublin Union, and in tho iIiCCCIS of the Irish
l'oor Law, intim study connected as he believes it to be with
the welfare of the Irish people.
