SHAMEFUL CONDITION OP THE KIDDERMINgTEE
Gturrait SCHOOL.—The Worcester Chronicle says :—" It
cannot be too strongly impressed upon the minds of thou
whom it specially coneeres dist the school—called by the
name of King Charles the First, at Kidderminster was origi-
nally destined for the free education of all the sone of all the
parishioners of the town ; that the endowment of this school
has became grossly perverted ; that under a scheme sane-
si reed by the Court of Cnancery, apparently from want of
information upon the circumstances of the cue, the number
of boys to be educated hu been limited to forty, who are to
pay 41 a year for what was ordered to be given them
free of charge ; and that the fund. beLeging to
the foundation amount to between 7001. and KW.
a year, and that for this sum only thirteen boys
are at present educated in Latin and Greek. The utility of
the school has been destroyed by exclusive regulations, by
the unfair treatment of the day boys as compared with the
boarders, and a continued system of perverse management.
The object of this system appears on the face of it to he
to circumscribe the benefits of the school within the
narrowest compass, by interposing restrictions, discourage-
ment', and obstacles in the way of parents sending their
children for education, and to cultivate the pecuniary in-
terests of the teachers rather than promote the mental
culture of the boys and extend the sphere of its opera-
tion. The present scheme of management, so Mr from car-
rying out the liberal ideas of the founders, which are con-
firmed in the inquisition directed by King Charles, is based
upon partiality, 'elfishness, and excluiveness, and carried
out in an odious spirit of caste. The school apartments are
removed from the midst of the day boys to suit the
canveni-
once of the head master's 42 boarders, who are intimately
connected with his profit and emolument, and whose lodg-
ing is at least supplied at the expense of the chsrify, thrugh
it is prescribed in the original charter, in the most distioct
and notifies terms which our language admits of, that the
master than not occupy himself in any other manner what-
soever, save the education of the then fr..e boys of the
school. The indefatigable Mr. Griffith his main t.k, nup
the cause of the town boys against the intruding and
unauthorised boarders in regard to the distribution of
prizes. The disparity between the relative award of pexes
to the town boys and the boarders is scarcely less Reef:: t haft
last year. Out of 19 press awarded the 42 boarders ant 10
amongst them, and the 13 day-boys 3 only; though
the bishoe and his chancellor expressly declared. at an in-
terview sesommittee had with them on the subject, that the
town boys were alone entitled to receive prizes. Ti i. is a
very discreditable persistence in wrong dolor, after au•hc,-
titative warning, and will serve to strengthen the rose of
the petitions re against the present scheme, and to demon-
strate more fully the necessity for a BW6eping and thorough
revision of the regulations under which this benevolent
trust is governed. Toe fact that this educational lued of
7001. a-year only serves to provide education in Latin and
Greek for thirteen boys—tor whom two masters arc kept
who swallow up between them nearly two-thirds of the
amount in salaries, when there are hundreds of children in
Kidderminster perishing for lack of the common elcreents
of knowledge—is sufficiert to demonstrate with startling
impres Menem that there Is something grievously rotten in
the administration of its affairs."
WATERLOO MEDAL.—On the let of Dectiniwe last
Mr. Pi-truixi was asked by the Mist Commission :—" By
what time do you expect to have the dim for the Waterloo
en. dal complete.y ready for use ?" To Vie he replied :—" I
propose to call in person on Mr. 13hie1, the Muter of the
Mint, for the purpose of presenting to him my respects on
the Ist of January next year, 1849 ; and at the same time to
place in his hands the two matrices of the Waterloo medal,
given me to execute by the late Lord Marlborough when
Mister of the Mint, and on which I have employ:el the
same dil g no. and perseverance that I have given to the
most finished works which have issued from my bards?
Did he call on Mr. Shin? ? Mr. Pistrueci has spoilt, he says,
" at least ten year. of constant work of my leas days upon
it."—Athencenes. ee-

peared bewildered as if he had Aeon drinking, and was
entirely unfit to perform his duty. The prisoner, in his
defence, stated that on the night prior to the 13th June,

THE CHOLERA.
BitISTOL.—Dr. Sutherland has, during the work,
visited Bristol, having been commissioned by the Bled of
Health to examine into the causes of the occurretne of cho-
lera here, and also into the miens adopted for preventios
its spread. Dr. Sutherl and ha I proposed reeneining among
us kr some daf a hid he not received a peremptory summons
to attend at Swum. We uadentand that he expressed
his approval of the very prompt, es ergetie, and judicious!
intasur.• adopted by the emperation ot the poor, and par-1
ticularly urged the necessity for paying, as far as proems '
tilde, daily &ancillary visits is the poorer districts, with
a view to the detection and early treatment of the pre-
mositny snap', ma. The total number of cases in this
city trans the outbreak of the disorder has been 75 ; of
which number 33 have died, 13 been cured, and 29 re-
main wader treatment.—Brisiol Mercury.
CARTLETOWIL—In last we stated that in the course
of a few hears rise ir.embers of one family had been
mined off by eheuers. A seventh ha. since died. Various
rumours then became current—roam of a meet cieraordiasry
sad preposterous characmr, which induced the BAT. James
Coles. • meet able and native magistrate, to communists to
the a emer, W. Brewer, £.q. some of the circuuntatees
that bad reached him ; mad also, for the satisfaction of the
public naiad, to suggest that it would be expedient to hold an
inquest on ii wof the Leidy. The coroner c Incurred in
the propriety of Mr. Celts' views; and an inquest was held
at Castletown, on Stanley lam, on view ot the body of
William Thomas, aged 23. Some of the country people,

medical i videucc, returned a verdict that ens dee wed
" D, 4 of Asiatic ebo'sra," in which verdict the coroner
entirely concerted. It was then determined n• tto exhume

DRUMM& Ile THU MIIIICIACTIISING DISTRICTS.
&pats continue to gain ground that mem ot Wattle are
otautrine in the manulacturieg districts of L• ecashire, but
great doubt waists as to whether they have bi ea of the true
Asiatic lied. Mr. Grainger, of the Board of health, has
been to Manchester and Salford during the last week, and
preparations have been made for the dreaded disease, shou'd
at appear. Hospitals have been fitted up with a large num-
ber of beds; but eittain it is there has been no call for theme)
far. The only welt fauthentieatedease itiManchestor daring the

gate—one of the neighbourbocds to which the meet poor
and lip/slid of the inLabitants resort for shelter. Mr. Grain-
ger %lite& the child, and said there cawd be no doubt that'
it was leering from Atiatil cholera; the we, however, had
takes 'favourable turn, and the girl was likely to recover. Hos

been aged may seek nine till danger has abated, or until
they SSA find a new abode.
Leone—We are glad to report that this disease has not
neaterially extended itself in this b)rourh. Only one new
ems has occurred in the town of Leeds since our last. It is
that of the wife of • cheater residing at the bottom of
Sykee-row and lisrper-etreet. The family reside in a cellar
dee ling, which is necessarily defective in ventilation, and
is also badly draitel, whilst ems of the street omen has an
°pule g near the place. Some time ago they were in receipt
of pariah relief, but this hsA been discontinued in come
queues of tie hastened having obtained work, and as •
proof that they were nit in necessitous circumstances,
it may be mentioned that at the time the woman was
ren.ovid Irons her house to the liendicity-tilice the
Wady were eating boiled pork, new leis& and eahlaii4, all
of which rather tend to predispose teem for receiving the'
disease than otherwise. the woman was first atrackei with
dime:bee a on Saturday lee, and on Sunday, after baking two
slime of flour into bra • I, site became s•riausly ill, and in the
after,oon, otter Mr. Balmer, surgeon, had been eared la.
she w • removed to the Meade:thy office, where she died OS
the following morning. The cue is said to be almost marketl
mad decided ere of Asistie cholera. Since Monday, there
have ben no further severe cases and no deaths. Three
MISS hem, hawea .r, occurred at Hamlet Moor-side, two of
Which have proved fatal. The sanitary committee, which
maims of five members of the town-cientil, and five '
hers of the board of xuardiene, have held meetings daring
