Cemaas.—Yesterday,the Board of Health received
advice. of some eases of cholera at Peckers, but the precise
amber was not stated. A case weaned also at the model
lodging house, Cilamhows-yard sad a case at Doncaster.
An in was held yesterday ia the Milbank Prism on a
convict named Thompson : verdict, " Died from Asiatic
cholera." From Edinburgh we have reports of sewn new
asses of spasmodic cholera, and three deaths ; from Leith
six new cases, and two deaths.
Naw COLONIAL OFFICE.—it is the intention of the
Commissioners of Woods and Forests immediately to erect
a new Colonial-office, the present building, or rather hand-
ier (four houses in Downing-street being used for that pur-
pose), being totally inadequate to the wants of that depart-
ment of the government service. The site chosen for the new
office is that fusedistely adjoining the Treasury and Board of
Trade dims in Whitehall, at t occupied by Lady
Dover's mansion, the lease of w eh will fall in to the Crown
in a low days. The Commissionen of Woods and Forests have
intimated that in consequence of the ground being required
for the above jtoer,it is not their intention to grant a fresh
lease. The bdings will extend from the Treasury at
Whitehall to the canteen adjoining the lione•guards, and
from Whitehall backwards into the Park. They will be
erected in the Italian style, of Yorkshire and Bath atone,
and resemble as near as possible the Treasury and Mime
Oaks, of which they will be a continuation. It is stated
that Mr. Bony will have the superintendence of the erection
and Mr. Oilmen the contract.

PAROCHIAL COLONISATION.—Yederday, at the
weekly meeting of the Hackney guardians, J. R. Daniel
T.yeeen, Bsq., in the chair, a committee, appointed to con-
ider and newton the above subject, brought up en elabo-
rate memorial for presentation to the government. After
enforcing the urgent neoemity for a comprehensive scheme
of coloni-ai ion, under the protection and superintandenoe of
the government, the report prteeeded " Your memorialists
are the guardians of a large number of children of both
sexes, who are dusted in the schools of the workhouse;
and as these children attain the age of 14 or 15 years no other
provision can be made for the boys than binding them as
apprentices to small tradesmen engaged in occupations al-
ready overstocked with hands, or sending them to sea, while
the opportunities of providing for girls are still more
limited ; and your memorialists submit that but
little chance is thus afforded to either boys or
girls of ever emerging from a state of pauperism,
or of improving their moral, physical, or social condition.
While such is the state of things in this country, where the
Lebow market in all its branches is overstocked, your memo-
rialists have reason to believe that in the colony of New
lea& Wales there is a great demand for the labour both of
melee and haste, sad therefore, that the urgent wants of
be* dantrise weed be met bye comprehensive measure of
emigration trees the former to the latter. Your memorialist'
also believe that a similar demand for labour exists on the
eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope ; and that the
supply of these demands would be attended by the most be-
neficial effects upon the prosperity of the colonies, and re-
ciprocally upon that of the United Kingdom."—The memo-
rial concluded by asking for increased powers to facilitate
the voluntary emigration of able-bodied adults and youth of
Iboth sexes above 14 years of age. The memorial was
speed to.
Jewe AND GENERAL LITSRART INSTITUTION.—]Sat
night the make of the Jews' and General Literary and
Scientific Institution was opened by a public meeting and
converse:isms in Sumer-hall Leadenhall-street. The attend-
awe of the member and friends of the Institution was very
numerous. Mr. De Castro, the president congratulated the
meeting on the mean which had attended their exertions.
The library now contained 4,000 volumes, and 39,000 had
been Waring, the °peaked the institution. He regretted,
however, te say that the claws were not so well attended
as they ought to be. There were 71 life subecribers and
302 ordinary rubseribers. The establishment was still in
debt, bat a little iseressed exertion on their parte would
sour discharge it—Dr. Adler, the obis( rabbi, said
he wandered an Institution for adults like theirs,
MO of the meet useful educational establishments;
sad he was therefor surprised that it did not lad

easeseregement which it deserved. It possessed not

ASSOCIATE INSTITUTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF
WOILEIC—The annual meeting of the above institution was
peeterday held at the Hanover-square Itioms. Karl Nelson in
the chair —The noble chairman, in opening the proceedings,
eseeplained of the paucity of atMndanes, but trusted that
the eareselare tithe few 'resent would make up for the de.
=Their power of doing good was much eircum-
by the Mate of the law and the false modesty which
mode may persons shrink from interfering with questions
d this description. The law, he hoped, would be changed
in the nmedeg maim, seeing the very respectable minorities
they had elledmed in the House of Lords during the last.
They hod made one important convert in the
penes of Lord Brougham, and their anticipations
of kshisllve ander were in every way most
sanglian With reference to the other point, the objection
of person en the soore of delicacy, they had prepared a form
of petition which, while promoting the object of the &Meta-
deo, was so worded as to meet the scruples of the most futi-
Move —Mr. Newman, secretary, read letters approving of
the objects of the amoriation, and apologiring for non-attend-
ance from Lord Bideatauth, 81r F. Buxton, and others. The
report, which was next read, stated that the object of the
society was not the Quixotic one of eradicating vies, but that
of i rotecting virtuous women by legislative enactments from
the machinations of the designing and profligite. The re-
poet proceeded to state the steps which had been taken
during the last session with reference to the Sup-
pression of Prostitution Bill, and to indicate the future
aisles. A new bill wascin preparation, of which the Bishop
of Oxford had promised to take charge, and the members
of the association were warmly exhorted to increased exer-
tion. From the statement of receipts and expenditure, it
appeared that during the last year the receipts (including
balance for previous year) had been 1,0731. 19s. 114 d.; ex-
penditure 9991. 10s. ed. ; balance in hand, 741.95. 3jell.—The
kart of Mounteashell moved that the report be adopted and
prided for general circulation. His lordship stated that
the bill they were preparing for next session was very limited
in its character—a mere fragment of the original Dill—but
be trusted that ultimately they would ebtain such support
tam public opinion as to force the legislature into menpro.
benrive and enactments. There could be no doubt

SANITARY PRECAUTIONS.—Yesterday the guardians
ef the poor of the perish of Clerkenwell issueda notice to
the inhabitants, enjoining them, " if they should be aware
of any accumulation of filth, offal, refine, or other matter
which is nuisance, or injurious to the health of persons in
their locality, to make complaints to them in writing, in
order that the board may take steps immediately for the
Iremoval or abatement of the same." In the parishes of St.
1 Margaret and St. John, Westminster, in which various
nuisances have existed for years past, the board of guardians
end dream of the poor have also issued instructions to ail
linhadeeds to • similar effect. The board has divided the
pedebse lam eight shark% which are superintended by as
essay eakeemmittees of the directors, and complaints ere to
I be made to them or to Mr. Crow, the inspector. The
leommittee will meet the first and third Tuesday TVs
1 month, at the workhouse, to hear complaints, when the
i parties will be proceeded against immediately.

TAMAR SILVER LEAD MINING COMPANY:eSter-
'I day the annual pedal meeting of the shareholders in this
company was held at the ode's, 44, Finsboryoquare ; P. N.
Johnson, Bag , F.R.S., in the chair —The report stated that 1
the principle of preferring Were but certain profits to the
Immediate declaration of dividends, and of pursuing the plan
of operations for working the company properly, which was
animists& at the last meeting, had been systematically pro-

waded apes since that time ; and the rep me of progression
in the several departments of the company would furnish
evidence of the practical benefit which had resulted from
the application of that principle. A credit balance of
8151. 14e. sd. would be shown by the accounts, in favour of
the company. The lode in the south mine was realising the
anticipations which were expressed at the last general movt-
