Fleet street, the husband being employed at his trader •
carpenter, tad the wife assisting by taking in mangling.
Both were very aged, the man being 74, and the

at work the husband was taken ill, and his removal home
became mcimary. The wife, who was at the time an in-
mate of King's College Hoepital, having been ailing far
some months, was et ones sent for, and she tended on him
till Friday, when he died. The funeral of the husband took : fit,
plane yesterday at Ilford, and on the return of the at.

THE CHOLERA.

PINK OR 111/111

PARTS, 241117111 DAT lennara.
The /11poque says that the Union Medicate is un-
fortunately altogether wrong in giving good news
about the cholera. On the contrary, it affirms by
the pen, of K Paschal °rawest, • medical man,
who makes the subject his especial study, that the
slight decline of the epidemic at the beginning of
the week was succeeded yesterday by • very
marked:relapes, which was observed in several
points once, and is evidenced by the greater
number of patients in the hospitals and an increase
in the subsist total of deaths. It would be diffi-
cult to say whether the number of deaths from all
causes yesterday exceeded the highest figure lately
know nor Paris, namely, 300 ; but It may be safely
affirm that it was greater than on Sunday, Mon-
day, sad Tuesday. The moth-west of Paris is the
quarter now principally attacked ; but it cannot
yet be laid that the deaths in the other quarters
have seksided to the normal number.
Tlrrotoriorew dr Boir giros no aerraut of the
state the cholera generally, but it affirms that
the sanitary reports from the lyceums, colleges, and
normal schools of Paris and the nine departments
around the capital up to the evening of Oct. 26,
were excellent. In Paris itself the Lyceum Louis
le Grand has not a single sick pupil. At the (al-
leges Napoleon and Rollin there have been some
slight indispositions which, at another time, would
have attracted no notice. The note in the Moniteur
then ghee the following explanation of the news
which elicited some alarm that one of the colleges
had been suddenly closed :
At the College Belot Lewis, whoa the All Saints holidays
have beam anticipated, one of the sealers, who foe tea days
had been is a 'most dsplonble Mate at morel prostration,
was vary seriously attested. Such of the pupils as had sot
bees taigas away by their relatives have bus His day
removed I. • house takes for them at Fosialseblesa,
whither they have been esedeeted by a provisoes, who will
remain with them.
It is evident from the above statement that an
extraordinary panic has prevailed at the College
Saint Louis. The " moral prostration," by which
I suppose is meant cowardice, of a single master
hardly seems a sufficient explanation.
M. de Bismarck is expected in Paris to-day
from Biarritz ; it is said he warm to stay two or
three days.
At the Bonne the market was rather weak, but
the final quotations show very little change. The
diminution in the bullion of the Bank of France is
so insignificant that no further rise in the rate of
discount is expected.

She was in good heath until last Sunday night, whoa she
sompleileed of Wee in the head and sickness. She vomited
violently. The followbig minim she was again attacked
with sieksesa, and she became insmaible. She died that fore-
noon before a doctor saw her. On the previous Friday the

WESTMINSTER.

Mr. 'Ferrell, the barrister appointed, yesterday
resumed 'the revision of the lists comprising the polio.
meetary register of the city and liberty of Westminster.
The Hon. G. C. Norio°, the Lambeth police magistrate,
described as of Hamilton-place, was objected to by the con-
servatives on the ground that the act of parliament under
which the police magistrates were appointed made the office
a disqualification.
A geatleinan who attended to rapport the right quoted
the Police Act, which prohibited police magistrates, clerks,
and when of the metropolitan pollee courts from voting,
under a penally.
The Barrister held that the name was entitled to be on
the lists, but that the party was not " capable" of voting.
If he left the office of polio* magistrate he would be entitled
to vote et: months afterwards.
Mr. Oldershaw—Thena policeman would be entitled to he
as the register ; but you have struck out several police-
moues names.
The Barrister—l am not sure that that was right. The set
merely says that they shall be disqualified from voting,
under a penalty.
The name was retained on the register, but an application
for oasts was refused, as Mr. Nonoa did not appear in
person.
As the result of the entire revision the conservative
claim a pie of from 700 to 800 on the register, which may
be amounted for partly by the failure of all the liberal
objections, owing to an informality in the description of
the residence of the objector, as reported in the first day's
proceedings, and partly tram the little attention paid to
the revision by the- liberal party, to whom the wholesale
objecting of the conservatives cone somewhat by surprise.
A great many of the parties objected to by the conserva-
tives were struck out In default of appearing, their qualifi-
cation being, according to the statement" of the rate
sufficient.

THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS.

From many quarters we bear of a suspension of bnainsm
on Tuesday next ; though from the various intimation for-
warded to the Early Closing Association and the numerous
applications for window card" (2,000 of which have already
been distributed) it seems that the holiday will be more
general in the provinces than in London. Most of the large
establishment' in Regent-street and other parts
of the West-end will be open. The Christmas
arrascements published by the railway companies have
tempted many to avail themselves of the " reduced fares,"
and " extension of return ticket'," and some thousands will
be conveyed to-day to distant parts. At 2 o'clock this after-
noon most of the leading firms io the City of London were
closed, and will remain so until Wednesday morning, and
the Stock Exchange being shut, a perfect calm appeared to
prevail.
being, for all practicable purposes, considered as
Christmas-eve, the usual annual donations were distributed
to the prisoners for debt in the only two debtor' prison
now remaining in the metropolis.
Immense cargoes of poultry, butter, eggs, and other
produce have been landed at the Southampton Docks
this week from France and the Cannel Islands. Nearly
20 steamer", belonging to the South Western Company, have
arrived there loaded chiefly with Christmas fare for the
Eoglieh markets. These ships bring about 100 tons each,
consisting chiefly of poultry and dairy produce. One reseed
alone brought this week a thousand cans of turkeys and
geese, some of the cases weighed 5) cwt., and malty of the
geese were 200 m. each. Another steamer brought upwards
of 2,000 tubs of butter. Hundreds of sacks of cheenuts,
clover seed, barley, Szc., have been among the cargoes. The
produce of France is collected from immense districts by
scores of sgents and sent down to the coed for shipment to
England by the railroads that terminate at Havre, Honfieur,
and St. Malo. The collection of butter in France for the
English markets is chiefly made at Rennes.

templated taking both houses dawn, and rebuilding I

walled down No. 49, and entered into contracts for
'tie down No. 50, end rebuilding the intended new

tiffs, and gave notice that the frontage to the depth of
Waves feet would be required to widen the street, and
Negotiations were entered into, in the 0011T110 of which the
plaintiffs required 6,0001. an compensation for their interest
la the portion of frontage required to be given up. Even-
tually these negotiations broke off. and the defendants gave
notice of their intention to take the whole of the land, and
the practical question before the court was whether the
defendants had power to take the whole of the lead, and
then sell such portions an were not required for the
widening of the street, or whether their powers were
seetricted merely to the taking of so much of the land as
would be thrown into the street.

PARIS, FRIDAY EVICIRIG.

Notwithstanding the marked absence of Prince
Napoleon and Princess Clothilde from Princess Anna
Murat's wedding--an absence attributable to the fact
that the Murata are disliked at the Palais Royal,
—I have reason to believe that she reconcilia-
tion between the Emperor and his cousin,
as to which many conflicting statements have been
made, is really effected, so far at least as is com-
patible with the fact that the cousin will persist
in taking his own line of country. He bad a
private interview with the Emperor on Tues-
day, and both he and the Princess Clothilde have
twice since dined at the Tuileries in company
with the King and Queen of Portugal. The
positive statement of correspondents of the
Indipendance, that the Prince having come to
Paris only for M. Bizio's funeral, would return
to Switzerland and would not be prevent at the
new year's receptions, is incorrect. The Prince
and Princess are settled at the Palais
Royal for the winter. I have little doubt
that he will soon rmume the presidency
of the Universal Exhibition of 1867, which
he threw up when the Emperor turned him out of
the Privy Council after his Corsican speech. His
restoration to the Privy Council is a more difficult
thing, but I think that will come in time. The Em-
peror has a real affection for his cousin, and it is a
great question whether he is not after all his best ad-
viser, and an invaluable link between his dynasty
and those liberal principles apart from which Bona-
partism can now less than ever hope to take root in
France.
The tumults in the schools have gone on to-day.
The lecturers went through their business in dumb
show, and a strong posse of police kept the students
" moving on" as they left the theatres. Speedy
justice was done yesterday by the Tribunal of
Correctional Police upon two of the persons lately
arrested, and many more trials of the like kind
will follow in quick succession. One of the pri-
soners tried yesterday was only a sympathiser with
the students—a professor of languages named Las-
aerre, of the ripe age of 35. The indictment
against him alleged that, on the 19th inst., in a
crowd assembled near the Ecole de Droit, he com-
mitted an assault on a police-officer, and uttered
abusive language and threats against him. A young
student of the /tools des Mines, named Co.
quells, was also charged with having later-

The railway act in this csee emitamed a clause directing
the company, before taking say land of Lord Harriogtos's,
to serve a year's notice on Iris guardians. The Gamma' of
Barrington was the guardian, but the company served

Dr. Norman Macleod has just published in a
pamphlet, the substance of his l►te speech before the
Glasgow Presbytery, "On the Sabl.atarian Question." In
his preface, he mays, that so far as in hint lime, he will not
be dragged into any further controversy in the matter ; he
leaves the matter to younger men. In an appendix he sup-
plements his case by quotations from Milton, Luther,
Crenmer, Whateley, Alford, Iroddridge, John Knox, Je•
remy Taylor, Bunyan, and other', with the view of showing
that the extreme views as to Sabbath observance which
are held in Scotland have no sanction from those who are
usually regirded as the greatest authorities in the interpre.
tation of Scripture. Dr. Ilacleod was accused of exaggeration
in his statement about the objections to shaving on the
Sunday, but he gives a letter from a gentleman,
whose name is added, in which we read :—" Shortly
after your speech on the Sabbath question, at the meeting
of the Glasgow Presbytery, I was is company with
three West Highland ministers of the established church,
to whom I expressed my doubts as to the correctness of
your assertion, that a considerable number of ministers
abstained from shaving on Suodays ,from conscientious
motives. To my great surprise I found that two
' -if the three themselves performed the operation over.

Erred with the police in the execution
of their duty. A sergent-de-ville deposed that
when he and other officers were endeavouring to
disperse a crowd of nearly 2,000 persons (Ai the
Place du Panthflon, the prisoner was vary active
in resisting the police, against whom he used
moat abusive language and violent threats. He
was accordingly arrested after a hard struggle.
Another officer stated that Coquelle had struck
him in the eye while endeavouring to escape
arrest. In his defence Laaaerre asserted that
while he was panting through the crowd he
had been struck by a sergent-de-vile without
any provocation, and was taking the man's
number when another sergent seized him ; that he
then resisted, and perhaps in the struggle used
the language attributed to him. Coquelle said
that in returning home from Ecole des Mines
he saw a man in the hands of the police, and re-
marked to one of the officers that their prisoner had
done nothing to deserve arrest. An officer then ad-
vanced to arrest him also, and in endeavouring to
escape down a flight of steps he ran against a me-
gent-de-ville and struck him accidentally in the
eye. The tribunal, considering the charges proved,
condemned Lessens, who had been previously con-
victed on a similar charge, to a month's imprison-
ment, and Coquelle, who had never been in trouble
before, to pay a fine of 50fr.
There was very little change at the Bourse, ex-
cept that Mobilier fell 6fr. 25c. The Route closed
rather firm, with a rise for account of fic., but in
all other securities sales predominated at the close
of business.
