Devozreort.-00 Wednesday evening 11 deaths Were
reported as having occurred during that day ; on Thursday,
11; on Friday, 10; on Seterday, 14 ; on Sunday, 17 ; and
on Monday, 14. Since then we have no official report ; but
we understand that there was a very marked and mushier.
tory decrease both of new oases and of deaths.
Storrsnonsn.—Many deaths have occurred during the
put week ; we cannot tell how many, for no official return
is published; but we know that, within the last day er two,
a highly favourable change has taken place, and that mat-
ters are much better than they were. The members of the
Board of Health sit daily ; a hospital is to be immediately
erected on the Battery-hill, fronting the sea; and the con-
sent of government bag beea obtained to the fitting up of •
portion of the prison at Millbay as a house of refuge. Ad-
vantage will at once be taken of this permission.
Prrnorra.—The state of things in this town is, we re-
gret to say, no better than it was a week ago. Of oholerato
diarrhoea the CMS were last week 107 ; this week 164.
The deaths last week were 24; this week they have been
29. The dieths have occurred almost estausively in the
dose, undrained, and ill-ventilated localities, and among the
poorer classes of society.
Biturroz..—The returns from the districts comprised with-
' in the municipal borough continue to present a more health-
ful character. Yesterday's report for the ancient city by the
health committee of St. Peter's Hospital is ss follows :
Diarrhou, 16 ; approaching cholera, 1; cholera, 3; deaths, 0.
DOXIMS.—The following has been the number of pees,
since our last :—Frtday, 43 cases and 18 deaths ; Saturday,
26 cases and 17 deaths; Sunday, 26 eases and 16 deaths ;
Monday, 24 cues and 19 deaths.—Sooestrun.
Caluotre.—Oa Saturday as a bevelling hawker, mated I.
Meson, was coming through Crechherburwo, with a waggon
loaded with brushes, iker , for sale, he was taken ill in the
stzest. His little boy, en intelligent lad about nine or Sea
years 'tags, applied at two public houses to have his rather
taken in, but was refused ; ultimately the poor fellow was
kindly received into the Three Cranes by Mr. Powell, the
landlord, who immediately paid every attention to the of
Drlimins was sent tor, and this gentleman, in company
with Capt. Jackson, who was pawing by at the time, visited
Mason, whom they found suffering from malignant cholera.
The poor fellow seemed sensible of his alarming position, and
expressed • wish to make his will. Capt. Jackson kindly
acceded to the stranger's request; he said be had cash de-
posited in the waggon to the amount of 5341. 64., also stock
in trade at various warehouses and other places to a large
amount. The whole of his property, considerably above
1,6001., be directed to be divided among his four children,
three of whom are living at Maidstone, in Heat, of which
place be was a native. His wife is supposed to be still Heine,
but through some misconduct they separated. Captain
Jackson found the cash as described, and placed it in the
hank. The waggon, with a large stock of brushes, was also
taken to a proper place of safety until more favourable symp-
toms appeared ; but the unfortunate man died at an early
hour next morning. He was 66 years of age, and rather an
eccentric character, always sleeping in the waggon, and
seldom wearing a bat ; he was decently interred in the ce-
, mistily on Monday, and the circumstance has created much
, sympathy in Cardiff.—Hereford Journal.

THB FANCY FAIR AT LIVERPOOL, in aid of the
about charities, has reslised already 3,0001., and, as there is
to be another day, confident hopes are entertained that the
total sum will be exceedingly handsome. One of the most
interesting articles in the show is the silver stand and kettle
about to be presented to Medlin. Jenny Lind, by the friends
of the Southern and Toxteth Hospital. Mr. Mayer, Lord-
street, is the manufacturer. The kettle, which is very large,
is supported on a stand about six Indies high, all enclosed
within a glass case. The stand rests on three feet of wrought
silver, in the form of tortoises. Immediately over those feet
stand three pleasing figures, representing Faith, Hope, and
Charity. Three medallions on the sides of the stand represent
the occurrence of an accident—the reception clan injured pa-
tient at the hospital, and his leaving the establishment on his
convalescence. The kettle it sel fie richly chased,snd on one side
ft bears the following inscription:—r' To hianLut Jagarr
LINO, in grateful testimony of the munificent services ren-
dered to the Southern and Toxteth Hospital of Liverpool,
by the exercise of her unrivalled powers of song, prevented
by her admiring friends and the friends of the institution,
VI January, MDCCCXLIX.." The reverse contains a rep.
resentation of the songstress seated on an elevated chair,
crowned with laurels, an attendant minstrel standing be-
hind, whilst the principal figure is dispensing charity to a
supplicant mendicant. The cover of the kettle has upon it
for a handle a Liver, wrought in frosted silver, emblematic of
the town. It stands altogether about eighteen inches high •,
the kettle tilts on a hinge attached to the stand, and is valued
at 140 guineas.
CHURCH MOVEMENT RESPECTING TITHES.—YeIie
terday a meeting of the clergy of the archdeaconry of Essex
and the archdeaconry of St. Alban's was held at Harlow
Vienne, for the purpose of adopting maims the best adapted
"to restore the tithe system to its legitimate purpose," name-
ly, to the maintenance of the church generally, the education
asd support of the poor, the repair and restoration of
churches, and other pious and charitable objects. Divine
service was performed in the pariah church, and en
its conclusion, the, clergy and others present assembled
on the lawn of the vicarage. The Rev. Charles Killer,
Y. A., late Public Examiner in the University
of Oxford, presided. He said that his opposition to the pre-
sent tithe system was not based on any desire to bring back
old abuses or to devote the tithes to the benefit of the
clergy either for particular or general purpose!. He was
actuated solely by the wish to abolish the present system
which he considered was injurious not only to the church
establishment but to the interests of religion generally. At
pment the money collected under the tithe system was not
in his opinion calculated to promote the welfare of the
Anglican Church, but bad a tendency directly the revere.
It was a fact which could not be dented that many of tt •
poorer members of the church were destitute, not only of
spirituel but even of stealer instruction, which fact in its. If
caarly showed the truth of his position. He was happy
to say that he wee not singular in the views he entertained
on this question, for leveret of his fellow.clergymen agreed
with hint to the letter, and were as anxious as he himself to
accomplish the object fur which they were assembled. This
he a neeived was a perfert refutation of those illiberal caiu m-
Maps which had from time to time been thrown on the clergy
of the Established Church. Several clergymen supported
the views of the rev. chairman, and in doing so adve•ted
to the change of opinion on the part of the premier with re.
firma to the question. The speeches delivered by Lord
Jahn Russell showed the most contradictor) opinions, for is
1846 he maintained in an address, delivered at the Mansion.
house, the very reverse of his views in parliament in 1845.
The speeches of the rev, speakers were in strict oonformity
with the view• of the rev. chairman. Resolutions in support
of the principle affirmed by the different speakers were
agreed to.
THE PEVEREL COURT, respecting which Mr. Roc-
ha.* confused the reporters by putting a question to the
Attorney.Geaeral, and which is abolished, together with the
Palace Court, turns out to be a aloft of record for the honour
of Powers', a district which includee,the borough of Sheffield.
The filtelfi Id papers are exulting over the doom of what
they call this " boar, iniquity."
MR ISLAY ESTATES.—The gala of this valuab'e
property took pl ice at Edinburgh, on Wednesday lest, w.,en
they were knocked down at the upset price of 530,00'1. to
the Islay Tontine Life Association, We have already ex-
plained the °Meets of this society to be the formation of a
tontine for tee disposal of the property, upon a principle by
which every shareholder, in addition to a periodical share of
ti.e rental and of the profits of a general life assurance
business, ill he enti'led to a return of his Investment
~,, she Aisash of h;e nominee, an aggrezate annual premium
on 12,000 nominees being reserved out of the rental for that
purpose. We are informed that the undertaking, which is
u der tee management of directors of the Royal and Na-
tional Banks of Scotland, ass 'dated with merchants and
prof s local gen•lemen in Edinburgh and Glasgow, pro-
ws...el favourably.
ACCIDENT AT A TELEGRAPH OFFICE.—As the
youth employ, d in the telegraph dice at Ely was in the art
of working the tel.7lll)b, LS reply to a communication
during the recent thunder storm, • was knocked, down by
the (we of she electric fluid acting upon the wires, but
'ortunatsly without receiving any injury beyond the mo-
ment iv, shock. The wires from the office communicating
wish st.e m in wires were savored, and the business of the
office suspended ter some boars.
Ing Cans OF MAKE ANNE GERRING.—It will be
eismoisher-d that this unfortunate woman was convicted at
she Sussex arises of the murder of bar husband by poison.
It has slow been stated in some of the pews, that in con-
mg 'ace of a point of law which was raised by her counsel,
the ',vomits of the sentence of death would be postponed,
th-re is, hoetever, no foundation for this subagent, no point
whatever nes been reserved, and the execution is Axed to
