The total number of deaths from cholera and
diarrhoea at Newcastle during the present outbreak
has been 1,187. In the same period (viz., the first
23 days), daring the prevalence of epidemic cholera
there in 1831-2 the number of deaths was 191.

The total number of deaths from cholera and
diarrhcea in Gateshead up to last return has been
292. During the like period (viz., the first 18 days,
in 1831-2) the deaths amounted to 130.
The system of house to house visitation, which was
at first imperfect, is becoming more complete. It has
hitherto been found impossible to induce • •ple in
the worst districts to leave their filthy a ...es for
the tents which have been pitched.
HEX HAD!.
The secretary of the sanitary committee in this
place has been attacked with the epidemic. During
the last two days 4 deaths from cholera have taken
place.
Choleraic diarrhma is almost universal ; and it is
only by. prompt and cnergetic treatment that the
disease is arrested in this stage.
Mr. Farbridge has fallen a victim to the disease,
and his wife and two daughters were afterwards
attacked, and the latest accounts state that they also
have since died.

having been so fortunate as to have their tenders accepted
at h.gber figures than other contracting parties. The
quantity to be made up in Ireland is 4,050 tierces and

WORSHIP-STREET.

Elisabeth Carmichael, a well-dressed woman, was charged
with violently assaulting her husband.
The complainant said they had been married seven years,
bat his wife was of such an outrageous temper that he could
live with her no longer. On the 6th instant upon his return
home he found her exceedingly angry looking, and knowing
by experience what he had to expect, he thought it best to
get quietly out of her way. She, however, intercepted him,
' and calling him by a vile name, demanded to know where
he was going, and, accusing him of kissing some girl, of
which be was perfectly innocent, began to throw at him
everything that she could lay hands on, including a heavy
hammer, which she hurled at him as he was getting out.
Ile endeavoured to ward off her blows without touching
her, but she got one of his hands into her mouth and bit it
severely, causing him gnat pain. At length, after she had
ton the stock from his neck and his coat nearly off his back,
and aimed several very dangerous kicks at him, he was for-
tunate enough to get away, but in a very woful plight.
The defendant, who had repeatedly broken in upon her
husband's statements, could not contradict the charge.
Mr. Ilammill sentenced the defendant to pay it/. penalty,
or he imprisoned two months.
The defendant now fell into violent hysterics, and was
discharged on recognisance, the husband agreeing to give
her 6s. a week for separate maintenance, and now paying
her half a sovereign in the magistrate's presence.

Thames William CeraeiT,; middle-aged man, of re-
grettable appearance, was finally examined before the lion.
0. C. Norton, on a charge of embezzling upwards of 6001.,
the property of Mr. Thomas Read Denny, his employer.
The evidence, in four distinct cases where the prisoner
had received different sums of money for his master, and not
acenuated for them, was taken, and this being considered
sufficient for the purposes of a prosecution, the evidence in
the others was dispensed with.
In cross-examination the prwcuto-, who is a flour factor,
residing in Ground-street, Blackfriars, admitted that the
prisoner had been in his service for two years as traveller,
and he only paid him 30s. a week. The witness, however,
added that the profits on his bu,iners were but small, and
the prisoner was not employed more than four or five hours
in the day. H# further said that the prisoner had succeeded
in his situation a person who had robbed him of upwards
of 300/. The orisoner had six rounds, and in four of these
his defalcations are found to be MIL ss.
The prisoner was fully committed to take his trial on the
four charges.

• East Bloomfield, Mass., the express o iss trait
Thursday morning left this city for Boston, rialccilvi-
haven, ran off on the side track, and came in colli-
sion with a freight train—thus causing the death of
Mr. Johnson, and the severe injury of many others,
It seems almost miraculous that more lives were not
lost, especially when we take into consideration the
fact that four of the passengers, and five of the
freight and baggage cars were badly shattered. Ths
catastrophe is solely attributed to the gross negh-
genco of the switch tender.
Captain Winthorp Richardson was completely an
nihilated by the express train, en the Maine railroad
on the 28th. He attempted to cross the track, wino
the train literally dashed him to pieces, not a piece
of his body being found larger than his hand.
It comes as a rumour from Washington that a
treaty has been signed and ratified between Spain
and Mexico through Santa Anna, to re-annex the
latter to the former, that though this is yet a secret,
preparations are making to carry it into effect, and
that the movement will be supported by the transk.
renec of 6,000 fine Spanish troops from Cuba. It is
further said that should this be done, the mend."
of the "Order of the Lone Star" and the "Cuban
Junta" will think it a favourable time to maks
another attempt to seize upon the fair Island which
so many Americans covet, and which they have de.
termined either by force or stratagem to gain pos.
session of.

Our latest advices from Manila are highly inte-
resting, both as regards the staple produce, exports,
and inter-communication of the Philippine bland;
A large forest of hemp trees had been discovered upon
the north coast of Luzon. The material is reported
as being of the finest quality, and the crop is esti-
mated to extend for nearly forty-five miles along the
irregular coast, running back into the interior for a
distance of about eight miles. This fibre would be
one of the cheapest in the world if the people had
some improved mechanical means of cleaning it, by
which the clumsy system of hand labour, now neces-
sarily employed, could be superseded. The American
steamers which were built and shipped for Manila in
the year 1850 were in very successful operation.
One of them was plying upon the river Passig, run.
ning up to and continuing upon the lake in which it
takes its rise. Its run, internally to the country, is
about forty-eight miles. Another is coasting between
the islands and provinces, and affording a daily
opportunity to the inhabitants of each of communt-
eating with the other, and observing their different
favourable peculiarities for mutual trade, cultivation,
and general commerce with the world.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Letters from Paris state that the conduct of M. de
Bruck at Constantinople is eyed there with suspi-
cion, recent letters from Turkey giving reason to be-
lieve that the Austrian ambassador is " paltering
with us in a double sense," and urging the Porte to
concede the demands of Russia. It is feared that
M. de Bruck will attempt to make use of the recent
troubles at Smyrna to exert a pressure upon the
Sultan.

WELSH JUNE FAIRS.

The high rates and general improvement noticed in the
spring laws have been fully realised in the fairs and markets
held last month. Stock of all dcuriptiens has been pretty
freely offered, and eagerly bought up, sometimes at very
high pricer, and always at most remunerating figures.
Everything has pretty well been cleared by the close of the
markets. Stock for improvement has sold well, and cows
with calves, barrens, and all stores have been bought up
eagerly. Stare pigs have been in good supply, and sold
readily. In the sheep market, the supply has not equalled
the demand, so that the highest rates have been realised.
It is said that at Newtown, Ruthin, and other placer, stock
of all descriptions is double the price it was two years ago.
One person bought cattle in March for 141. per head, and
has now sold them for 241. per head. The horse fairs have
likewise been very brisk.

expense of these works will be defrayed conjointly
by the state and the city ; the contribution
off' the latter, however, being limited not to
exceed 300,51j0e On Friday next the com-
mission will prow& to the examination of the
budget. This, according to a statement prepared
by the municipal &dugout: ration, is in a much more
healthy state than might Lave been expected, after
the immense eitra expenditure of the last two years.
The receipts of the budget of 1852 were estimated
at 46,186,179 E 24c. The amoont actually received
exceeds this estimate by nearly eight millions, while
the expenses which were calculated to balance have
fallen short by 3,795,674 f. 39c. of the estimates.
The receipts for 1853 were fixed at 47,114,346 f. 79c.
This sum has already been exceeded by 2,825,000 f.
The expenditure has not hitherto exceeded the esti-
mate, and therefore a considerable surplus for the
current year is expected. The receipts for 1854 are
estimated at 48,758,904 f., and the expenses at
53,308,934 f.,but of this sum 10,636,017 is classed under
the head of extraordinary expenses, thus divided :' re-
served
fund for unforeseen expenses,973,499E; repairs
and improvement of communal buildings, 383,911 E ;
grand public works, 9,278,577 f. The deficit for the
year 1854, amounting to 6,750,000 f., is met by the
surplus of 1852, so that the budget is iu fact
balanced. It must be observed, however, that this
prima jam prosperous situation is not very sound. ,
When in 1851 the city of Paris was authorised by 1
the Assembly to raise a loan of 50 millions for making
the hallos and the new Rue Rivoli, it was part of the
arrangement that the city should pay 10 millions an-
nually towards the reduction of its municipal debt,
until 1859, after which the annual payment was to
be reduced to 7 millions. The municipal council, at
that time an independent elective body, were very
I anxious about the amount of the debt, and expressed
a determination not to incur any further extraordieary
liabilities until 1859, when the reduction of three
millions in the annual expenditure would take place.
The city of Paris has, besides the above ten millions,
to find nearly 40 millions a year for ordinary ex-
penses. This constitutes a fixed charge for the next
six years, from which no reduction can be made
under any circumstances. The revenue, arising
principally from the octroi duties, amounts in a good
year to about that sum, but the equilibrium is liable
to be deranged by a bad harvest or a commercial or
political crisis, any or all of which may be reason-
ably expected before 1859. There is no doubt that
since the.2nd of December tho new municipality no-
minated by the Emperor have not adhered to the re-
solution of their predecessors not to increase their
liabilities. They have saddled the city with fresh
annuities for making the Boulevard do Strasbourg,
and have entered into contracts with third parties
for extensive improvements to be prospectively made,
which it is apprehended will lead to great embar-
rassment whenever any falling off in the revenue may
occur.

fen
Mr.
. M. Chambers, Q C., and Mr. Hawkins, were for the
plaintiff; and Mr. Lush was for the defendant.
It appeared that the defendant aad the plaintiff, both of
whom were persons of advanced age, had for a great many
years carried on a sort of partnership in farming and deal-
ing in cattle, and it would seem that neither of them being
able to read or write, the accounts between them, although
to a considerable extent and involving large sums of
money, were kept very loosely. At length a dispute
arose between them, and arbitrators were called in,
who had to go over a long period of transactions, the
accounts during some portion of the time having been kept
by the son of the plaintiff and the son of the defendant,
but it would seem that the arbitrator gave up the job, and
the present action was brought to recover a very roost lerable
sum of money alleged to be due to the plaintiff from the de-
fendant on balance.
After the case bad proceeded some length, it became ap-
parent from the nature of the dealings, that it could not be
settled in a satisfactory manner by a jury, and tho matters in
dispute were eventually referred to an arbitrator.
One or two other common jury eases were tried, and a
special ease jury was referred, and this concluded the
business. . _ .

IN RE HtICIIIIT.

r.-.-BATURDAT.
FAIL

This was the meeting appointed for the last examination
in the case of George Henoet, the extensive railway con-
tractor and shipowner, of London, Bristol, and other places,
whose bankruptcy occurred a few weeks ago.
Mr. Lawrence, on behalf of the bankrupt, said he was in-
structed to ask for an adjournment, on the ground of the
accounts not having been filed. The bankrupt had given
due diligence in their repetition ; but they were so ex-
tremely voluminous that it was impossible to get them ready
in time for this meeting. He had been actively engaged
in carrying on the different works for which he had con-
tracted, fur the benefit of the estate. As it was desirable to
avoid the necessity of another adjournment, it was proposed
to take it for two months.
Mr. M'Leod said the aseignees concurred in the propriety
of this course.
Mr. Lawrence asked his Honour to sanction the employ-
ment of Mr. John Ball (of the firm of Quilter and Ball), as

accountant for the estate.
His Honour gave the requisite sanction, and appointed
the adjourned asamisation meeting (or the 28th of July.
Mr. Linklater tendered a proof on two bills for 7501., ac-
cepted by the bankrupt, and held by Mr. Preston.
Mr. it`Lood asked that the proof should be deferred, in
order that it might be investigated. A great mass of bills
had been pat in circulation, tar which the bankrupt bad
received no value ; and it was necessary to ascertain whe-
ther these bills were of that description.
Mr. Linklater said that Mr. Preston had attended, pre.
pared to support his proof, and he should press fur its ad-
mission. Mr. Preston himself would depose that be bad
given consideration for the bill to Mr. Swift, from whom
he received it.

.—....
His Honour said that it was very tesy, prima fade, to
assume the character of what was called an innocent
bold. r." It was very possible fora person to put his bills
into the hands of a great knave, who robbed hint, and
then passed the bills into the hands of third parties, who
had all the appearance of innocent holden; but
that was • matter which was not so easily
determined. The most ample opportunity ought to be
given for thou who were investigating the affairs of this
estate to find out whether this eldmant was an innocent
holder or not. Probably he was. But this was a gigantic
estate ; there was a greet roses of tripsaastions to be inves-
tigated, and if the assignees meted Olt tbey bad net bad
time for • full investigation be weld ma Meek the wet.
It was eassatial for the polite geed that there sisold he an
ample investigation in suet a use se this.
IJltisistely the proof wee mimed to stand owes till the
next meeting.
Mr. Lome tendered a proof ea behalf et Mr. Afton-
borough, the postponement awash wee asked for on the
same ground. The learned smamesi iseassated. but is-
eland no a data beiag entered ea the prossediags, which

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The reports respecting business generally throughout the
Union are favourable. The New York money market still
continued tight, though a slight improvement bad taken
place in that respect since the departure of the last
steamer. Money was, however, still reported scarce, even:for
paper of the best description. In the stock market business
had assumed a more favourable appearance, prices of good
dividend-paying securities meeting with steady support.
No change had occurred in the quotations for breadstuff's,
and the market continued without much activity. The
prices were—Western canal flour, 4 dole. 621 c. to 4 dols.
75c. per brl. ; Indian meal, 3 dole. to 3 dols. 121 c. per brl.
Indian corn still remains =quoted.
In the cotton market at New York but few transactions
taken place lately. Holders were not apparently inclined to
prase sales, and the former quotations bad been maintained,
which were—New Orleans and Mobile mid. fair to fair, 12c.
to 121 c. per lb. ; uplands, mid. fair to fair, 111 c. to 111 c.
per lb.
Little activity existed in the provision market, and no
change bad occurred from the quotations previously re-
ported.
Increased prices were being demanded for freight by
shipowners, and at the time of the Canada's departure the
following were the quotations :—Freight of flour to Liver-
pool, 2s. ad. to 2s. 6d. per brl. ; grain, 6d. to 61d. per
bushel ; cotton, 5.16 d. to id. per lb. ; cotton to Havre, jd.
to Id. per lb.
foreign exchanges were in moderate demand, with a
tendency upwards. Bills on London, 1091 to 109 j; Paris,
6.131 to 5.15.

SMITHFIELD MARKET.-THIS DAY.

° The brisk trade of Monday last has caused an increased
supply of Bests to-day, consequently there is a great effort
on the part of the buyers to reduce prices, and owners
being unwi:::4s to submit, several remain unsold. Prices
on the avtr.,ge are lower, but in choicest qualities
there is Lot much reduction. There are a few more
Sheep and Lrrubs, lsowever the demand is adequate, still in
some cases prices are rather lower. Choice Calves are
scarce and dearer. From Germany and Holland there are
606 Beasts, 1,000 Sheep, and 171 Calera ; Scetland, 460
Beasts ; Norfolk and Suffolk, 3,000 Beasts ; and 200 from
the Northern and Midland Counties.

The supply of Beasts is not large, but fully adequate to
the demand. Trade is dull, and Monday'. quotations are
barely maintained. The number of Sheep and Lambs is
considerably smaller than on this day week; they are con-
sequently pretty readily disposed of, and on the average
prices are better. There is a very large supply of
foreign calves, but choice ones are by no means plentiful ;
the best descr.ptions, therefore, are not much lower. From
Germany and Holland there are 320 beasts, 1960 sheep,
634 calves, and 25 pigs; Scotland, 50 beasts; Northern and
' Midland, 300 ; and 90 milch cows from the home counties.

THE CABMEN'S HOLIDAY.

At the CIL rkenwell Police Court, Richard Johnson, John
Jackson, Richard Gurney, Robert Franklin, and John
Lean, cabmen, and Dcanii Shehan, beer-shopkeeper, were
charged with bring drunk and disorderly. Mr. Wakeling
was for the defence. It appeared in evidence that in con-
sequence of tke strike of the cab proprietors, Inspector
Charupney. with I other officers of the S division sta-
tioned themeelves at the Great Northern Railway terminus,
on Wednesday, to preserve the peace. Nothing, however,
in particular cecurred until between six and seven o'clock,
when the defendants, who were in an open phaeton, in
which was carried a flag decorated with blua ribbons, &c.,
drove furiously into a mob of from 690 to 700 of men, wo-
men, and children, who had congregated to witness the OM-
fusion and inconvenience felt by passengers arriving by the
different trains, and commenced hallooing and making all
sorts of discordant sounds to create excitement, frequently
calling out " Cabs for ever." The defendants shortly drove
away, but returning again, witness locked them up. Mr.
Wakeling contended that his clients h..d done no wrong,
and were justified in making an exhibition of any fancied
injury. Mr. Tyrwhitt said that the officers had clone well
to apprehend the defendants, whom he cautioned, and held
to bail for three months to keep the peace.

CASE OF THE CONVICT SAMUEL JAMES.

eked
the
Secretary f State for
the Home Department which of the two sentences paned
en Samuel James, this 'anent is now undergoing ; these
muteness, namely, of ten yean, and of fifteen years, being
stated to have been pronounced in the Middlesex As•istant-
Judge's Court on the 23rd day of June, 18-52.
Lord PALMERSTON said he had received a full report
from the magistrates on the subject, but would content him-
self with stating shortly the facts of the case. The reasons
for extending the sentence of the culprit were these. The
prisoner, after his conviction, and being still in the dock,
took a stone bottle out of his pocket, of sufficient size to be
a formidable weapon, and uttering words of revenge hurled
this bottle at the judge. It passed close by the eye of the
latter and struck the back of the chair with such forte that
even the rebound would have been sufficient to have pro-
duced serious consequences. The court thereupon delibe-
rated, and their decision, not upon the spot, but after full
deliberation, was that the convict should be adjudged
the longer period of transportation, the offence for which be
had been convicted being one fur which he might have been
transported for life. Now he (Lord Palmerston) must say
that he thought the course pursued by the bench was per-
fectly right. (Hear, hear.) And had he been applied to as
a minister of the crown for a remission of the sentence, he
should have felt it his duty to refuse such r• mission, because
it was manifest that if the judges were to perform their
duties under the fear of personal danger—if they were to
be threatened and struck with deadly miv.iles in open
seen, we might as well repeal the laws and dissolve the
NOM of justice, let every man go armed and shoot down
radians of this dereriptioa wherever he met them. (Cheers.)
Hanes we preserved security for our judges, the administra-
tine of 'tidies must fail, and the law of the land cease to
be administered.
