both of whom offer themselves for the single seat left to
the constituency by the Reform Act. Mr. Probynexpresses
his disapproval of the course taken by the government in
abolishing the system of compounding for poor rates, and
would support the ballot and the disestablishment of the
Irish church. He would, however, oppose the endowment
of a Roman catholic university. A more complete and

crease in the estimates, wholly independently of the cost
of the Abyssinian war."

Sir H. Edwards and Mr. Fieklen, of Todmorden, are likely
to be the conservative candidates, in opposition to Sir F.
Crossley and Lord F. Cavendish.

THE ALLEGED CASES OF CROLERA.—The result
of our inquiries has induced us to doubt the authenticity
of any of the " undoubted cases of Asiatic cholera" re-
ported thin week in London. We have seen the case, with
the house-surgeon, reported from the Royal Free Hospital
on Thursday as the "first decided caseof Asiatic cholera,"
and may state that it never had any of the characteristic
symptoms of that disease. There is, of course, a good
deal of diarrlass at all the hospitals: but, considering the
extraordinary beat of the weather, it is by no means of •
severe form.—lirt f tali Medical Joaraal.
