THE EXCITEMENT IN BELFAST.

The Northern, Whig thus describes the way iu which
the news was received in Belfast :—" Yesterday (Mon-
day afternoon, the news that Sebastopol was at last in
the hands of the allied armies was received in this town,
for some minutes, with sceptical misgivings by the p3ople;
but when the joyful intelligence, by the appearance of
the bulletins, had obtained the credence of the public
ear, all doubts gave place to general exultation. As each
man heard and became confirmed in the truth of the
startling information, he hastened to apprise his less
happy neighbour, and the glorious consummation of the
siege operations became the universal subject of conver-
sation and mutual congratulation. In the evening the
bells of St. Anne's St. George's and Magdalene churches
rang merry peals—great crowds assembled in the streets
place, particularly at the establishment
—guns were fired—rockets thrown up—partial lliu.

were
carried through the principal streets, followed by excited
masses of the inhabitants.

STRICTURE of the URETHRA : its Rational
Treatment and Prompt Cure.

By F.D. COURTENAY,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Engl'nd.

" We believe Mr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of stric-
ture during, the last twenty years has equalled, if, indeed, it has not
surpassed, that of any of his contemporaries. It is, therefore, no
matter of surnrise that he should enjoy the reputation of being a
most eexterotts and skilful manipulator with urethral instruments ;
and when it is remembered that the lamented Liston used to assert
that the introduction of instruments through a stricture which had
previously been impermeable to them, was the most difficult in the
whole range of surgical operations, it must be no slight source of
gratification on Mr. lourtenay's part to have achieved the reputation
he has in this res ,ect ; and for our part, with the knowledge we have
of his experience, we know of no man to whose care we would with
greater confidence entrust the treatment of a severe case of stricture
of the urctitra."—Medi9l Circular.

THE CUDHAIif TRAGEDY.

BROMLEY, Wednesday Evening.—A. few days since
it was reported that the man Clarke, a tramp, who was
formerly a private in the Guards, had been arrested at
Havant, near Portsmouth, by the Hampshire police, on
suspicion of his being concerned in the diabolical murder
at Cudham. After Superintendent Harvey, of the
Hampshire police, had communicated on the subject of
the man's arrest with inspector Baxter, he proceeded
with his prisoner to the scene of the murder, and, in
accordance with preconcerted arrangements, Clarke has
undergone a strict examination before J. J. Wells, Esq ,
county magistrate, before whom the charge against Pal-
ing is pending. The result of Clarke's examination, as
was surmised, has been the accused's full acquittal from
so serious a charge as being the principal, or even a par-
ticipator, in the appalling crime which has for the last
few days alarmed and horrified the county. The accused
was brought up before J. J. Wells, Esq., at the magis-
trate's clerk's office, when Mr. Latter, he chief clerk,
elicited from Clarke, who has, in fact, declared his
entire innocence throughout since his arrest, that on
the day of the murder, the 25th ult., he was at a brick-
field at Peckham, inquiring for work. Thereupon as
such a statement if proved correct, would be clear and
sufficient evidence of the man's entire innocence, the
prisoner was requested to accompany Superintendent
Handley and Inspector Baxter to the brickfield, and
prove his statement correct. Accordingly, the prisoner
was accompanied by the superintendent and inspector
to Peckham, and proceeding to the brick-field men-
tioned he was there identified by several persons em-
ployed about the field as the man who asked for em-
ployment there on the 25th ult. It further appeared
he was in the field about half-past seven in the morning,
thereby putting it quite out of the question that he had
a hand in the dreadful affair, which must have taken
place about that period. Clarke was conveyed back to
Bromley still in custody, but the worthy magistrate im-
mediately ordered his release, observing, not the slight-
est acc)isation could be hinted against the man as being
concerned in the dreadful crime. In fact, no direct sus-
picion ever rested against Clarke, and facts have since
come to light which will establish the dreadful crime
against the really guilty.

TIIE MILITIA.

The inspection of the East Norfolk Militia by Lieute-
nant-Colonel Pipon, Assistant-Adjutant-General, took
place at Great Yarmouth, on Monday morning, in re-
view order on the race course, in presence of a great
number of residents and visitors, when the regiment
performed several battalion movements with great prc-
cision, at the same time throwing out skirmishers to
cover the changes of position, the ground being admir-
ably kept by the Norfolk Militia Artillery, under the
orders of Lieutenant-Colonel Astley. In the course cf
the afternoon, the books, hospital, and store were in-
spected, and the regiment was paraded in heavy, march-
ing order. At the conclusion of the day the following
order Was issued ; --" Lieutenant-Colonel Pipon, after
minutely inspecting the regiment throughout, and having
expressed his entire satisfaction with allhe has seen, and
-having, moreover, stated that ho never saw men who, as
a body, were so remarkable for their neat and clean ap-
pearance as to all their appointments, has much pleasure
in intimating the same to the regiment.

TUSCANY AND SARDINIA.

The occurrences which have lately widened the
breach between the courts of Tuscany and Pied-
mont are thus stated in the letter of a Turin cor-
respondent:—
TURIN, SEPT. 7.—Count Antonia, Casati was attache
of the Sardinian legation at Constantinople. In the
month of July last ho was appointed to fill the post of
the same rank at Florence. But before he proceeded
there the usual announcement was made to the Grand
Ducal Government. The cabinet of Florence replied,
that it had no objection, and that it accepted the nomi-
nation in question. At the end of July, Count Casati
repaired to Florence, but shortly after his arrival
the Duke of Casigliano, the Grand Duke's Minister
of Foreign Affairs, demanded from the head of the
Sardinian legation, the Marquis Sauli, the recall of
the young attache. He based the demand in question
on the fact that M. Casati was the son of the former
chief of the Provisional Government of Lombardy, that
as such he could not be received at court, nor would he
be invited to the parties or balls given at the Pitti
Palace. The Marquis Sauli replied that these remarks
were somewhat late, and that, as they had not been
made opportunely, he could not consent to the recall
demanded. He added that M. Casati was only 18 years
old when the revolution broke out in Lombardy, and
that he could not on any pretext be placed in the same
position as his father ; that M. Casati being a Sardinian
subject, and in the service of the King, and having,
moreover, been already accepted as attache by the Tus-
can Government, he ought to enjoy all the rights and pri-
vileges secured to the members of all foreign legislation.
M. de Casigliano, however, insisted on his demand, and
then the Marquis Sauli requested him to be so good as to
write a note to bins on the subject. It was after the
reception of this note that the King's Government sent
orders to the Marquis Sauli to quit Florence with all
the members of the legation.
The Marquis has by this time already embarked at
Leghorn, and he may arrive here at any moment, where
he is expected.
It appears that the Count of Montessuy, the French
Minister of Florence, took steps with a view to settle this
diplomatic understanding in an amicable manner, but
the Tuscan Government bad made up its mind, and not
choosing to withdraw its demand, the Sardinian Govern.
ment was compelled, on its side, to persist in the deter-
mination it hal taken.

Tuscany has hitherto been the only State in Italy in
which a minister of the King of Sardinia has resided
with a complete staff, as at Rome and Naples there are
only charges d'affaires.

BR A_ZIL.

RIO DE JANEIRO, Sept. 13.—The cholera has
invaded us at last. The number of deaths averages
about 40 per day. White people are attacked
slightly, and with proper care recover. The prin-
cipal mortality is amongst the blacks. Every pre-
caution has been taken by the authorities to pre-
♦ent the spread of the disease, and we trust that
its presence amongst us will not be so disastrous as
was anticipated. Ten years ago we should not
have been so well prepared to receive this unwel-
come visitor, but Rio de Janeiro nowadays is as
clean a city as any in Europe.
An enormous business has been done in coffee since
the last packet. From the 14th August to present date
we note sales to the extent of 313,000 bags, of 5 arrobas,
or a total of 45,080,00011)s. Of this enormous quantity
about 170,000 bags are for shipment to America, leaving
a balance of 143,000 for European markets. Prices
have in general ruled high, too high, we fancy, for any
advantageous result, looking to the magnitude of the
supply. Purchasers, however, are undaunted, and we
expect that the extent of purchases up to the end of the
month will be very large. Our stock at market is about
80,000 bags, and supplies are coming forward very
freely. It is calculated that more than one-third of the
old crop has still to be brought to market ; thus no de-
ficiency will be felt on account of the short crop, even
if it be a short one, which is more than doubtful.

The exchange market has also been very active, and
has ruled high, 27',3, to 27Z being extreme rates. We
estimate the amount passed on London at 630,0001.,
principally at 27k. On France about 1,220,0001., at
350 to 355; and on Hamburg 700,000 marks, 655 to
665. _

In discounts there is no alteration.
In shares nothing of importance has been effected.
Exchange on London, 274 to 274 ; ditto, Paris, 355
to 365 ; ditto, Hamburg, 655, very firm.
Coffee—superior, 4,600 to 4,800 ; good Ist, 4,3C0 to
to 4,450 ; Ist ordinary, 4,100 to 4,200. Sales since Ist
instant, 110,000 bags ; stock, 80,000 bags.

THE CRIMEA.

The Czas, a Cracow journal, gives the following
account of the positions held at present by the
Russians in the Crimea :—" The Russians occupy
a line fortified by art and nature which forms a
half circle round the positions of the Allies, and
extends from the Telegraph and the Constantine
Fort, which are situated on a point advancing into
the sea, along the heights of Inkerman and Mac-
kenzie, to the impenetrable chain of the Thatir-
Dagh mountains. The principal forces are sta-
tioned behind that line, on the plateau of Belbek;
they are in three divisions, and have their front
towards the south. The right wing is formed by
the large corps which occupies the north side
of Sebastopol—namely, the citadel of Sievernaya
and the torts of Catherine and Constantine.
The left wing occupies the fortified passes of
Aitodor and the chain of the Tcherkes-Ker-
man to the sources of the Belbek, and the
mountains of Yalta. The reserves are at Bakshi-
Serai and Simpheropol. Special detachments
maintain the communications with this principal
army, and with three other corps which are sta-
tioned in the Crimea, one not far from Kertch,
with its right wing at Kaffa, and its left at Arabat ;
the second observing Eupatoria ; and the tliird, the
strongest (40,000 men), guarding Perekop. The
French are gradually raising their old camps, and
quitting the positions which they occupied before
Sebastopol."

" A number of masons," says the Gazette de,

some dozens of carpenters are to leave in a day or

They are engaged for the reconstruction and repairs
of the buildings at Sebastopol."
We have received the Constantinople journals of
the 27th ult. brought by the Thabor, but not our
private letters. We find in these journals but little
of importance, that has not being already made
known by electric telegraph.

Schools in active operation. The wonder is there

is not more.

In connection with these Reformatories, it is
worthy of remark that, so far as we can gather,
they are not so successful as their rivals (shall we
call them ?) abroad. At the Mettray Institution
in France, the celebrated Reformatory for Juve-
nile Criminals, on which our own are modelled,
the percentage of reformed criminals amounts to
90 ; while at Utley, which we take as the
average of efficiency here, the percentage is
only 75—an inferiority which, great as the
success is, we should like to see removed.
It is by no means impossible, however, that
the impulsiveness of the French character,
the greater likelihood of escape from early associ-
ations, and of earning a new name in provinces
little disturbed by internal communication, and
consequently little visited, and it may be some-
thing more charitable in the French character with
regard to criminals, will account for it. The fact,
for certain, demands more time and consideration
than we can at present give it ; we, therefore,
leave it with our readers, who, we trust, despite
law men and other cavillers, are interested in the
prosperity of these schools.

READING SAUCE, for Fish, Game, Gravies,
Hashes, Stakes, &c.—JOHN and CHARLES COCKS, the
sole Proprietors and Manufacturers of the celebrated READING

SAUCE, beg to CAUTION the Public a ,ainst the daily frauds prac-
tised by many persons, who are o ,ering their spurious imitations as
the genuine Reading Sauce. This sauce is patronised and recom-
mended by most families in the kingdom, and for general use it
stands unrivalled. It Is sold by all respectable Fish Sauce Venders.
Be particular in asking for "Cocks' Rea lint Sauce," which is pre.
pared ONLY by John and Charles Cocks, at their Manufactory, Duke -
street, Reading. All others are counterfeits. Observe the name,
"J. and C. COCKS, Reading," on the seal and label of each bottle :
without this none are genuine.

METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACT.

THE WARDS.
In working out final results from the returns and cal--
culations presented at upwards of 60 meetings held by
the assessors appointed under the Metropolis Local
Management Act to divide into wards parishes contain-
ing more than 2,000 rated householders, and to appor-
tion among them the number of vestrymen to be elected,
it was found with respect to Paddington that some
doubt yet remained as to whether the number of vestry-
men would be 72 or 84. On inquiry at the vestry-hall
it appeared that Mr. Wood, the assessor, had not made
his final award, but that returns had been forwarded to
him which it was thought would entitle Paddington to
84 vestrymen.
The difficulty arose from a want of agreement between
the figures taken from the rate-book and the returns
made by the collectors. By the former, it appeared
that the number of persons rated to the relief of the poor
was 6,201, which would give to Paddington 84 vestry-
men ; but the returns of the collectors presented the
number of rated householders at below 6,000, and these
returns, if adopted as correct, would reduce the number
of vestrymen to 72. The assessor, therefore, required
to be furnished with returns showing not only the num-
ber of persons actually rated, but also the number of
occupiers in the parish.
Mr. Aveling, the vestry-clerk, forwarded such re-
turns ; and since the publication of the tables, Mr. Avel-
ing has received from Mr. Wood his final award, which

To Paddington, therefore, 72 vestrymen have been as.

the figures given in the tables, which represent the total
number of vestrymen apportioned amoi,g the 28 divided
parishes. There the total appeals to be 1,980 (Padding •
ton appearing to have 84). The total, according to the
amended result for Paddington, will now be 1,968 ves-
trymen for all the parishes divtded into wards under the
Metropolis Local Management Act.

has been made, not in the number of vestrymen to be

of the movement were in earnest, and the public
were excited by their enthusiasm and zeal.
As yet the managers of the Administrative
Reform Association have not displayed much
vigour or energy. They have certainly had some
excellent meetings, in which they had the oppor-

tunity of explaining their own views, and were
fortunate enough to bring forward some brilliant
stars. But with the meetings the work
was done, and very considerable recrea-
tion followed the brief exertions. Perhaps
this was partially owing to the easiness of the
task. They found the greater part of the work
already performed. The people were in the fitting
state of mind. Great excitement prevailed
throughout the length and breadth of the land,

in consequence of official incompetence, stupidity,
and arrogance. But in place of striking while
the iron was hot—in place of following up
their advantage, they yielded to the soporific
tendencies of the warm weather, and
exhibited a profound indifference to the
business on hand. We do not administer this
reproof in any unfriendly disposition. It is given
more in sorrow than in anger ; and if, as already
stated, they show any disposition to profit by the
lesson, they will find no more zealous collabora-
teurs than ourselves. They must remember that
they are in the vanguard—that the post of honour
has, at their own solicitation, been conferred on
them, and they must prove themselves worthy of
the distinction, or surrender the positions for which
they are not fully qualified to more worthy volun-
teers.

The most energetic efforts must now be made,
if we desire to avert the possibility of any slip
before the goblet has been drained to its dregs,
and all the obstructions to the fair promotion and
legitimate rewards of unpatronised merit be fully
and completely received.
As the best and most efficient test of their sin-
cerity and fidelity to the good cause the people
must reform themselves. No person entrusted
with the elective franchise must make its posses-
sion the pretext for requiring the patronage of
his Representative, or of seeking employ-
ment in the public service for any friend or
relatives, however desert ing. If the party for whom
he seeks assistance be really meritorious be
can get on by his own exertions in a straightfor-
ward and legitimate manner. He will not require
any undue efforts, any " backstairs' influence" on
his behalf ; and the application will let in similar
demands for less meritorious candidates. " Pa-
tronage" is " the accursed thing," the mere
touch whereof is contamination. The man who
seeks a favour in return for his vote is a traitor
to the cause the wilful and deliberate
violator of the sacred trust reposed in him
by his cmintry. Every consistent Administrative
Reformer must make sacrifices for the general
good. If he eschew " nepotism" in high places,
he must not practise it himself in any degree,
however trivial. He must practise what he
preaches—remove " the mote from his own eye"
before he ventures to pluck forth, or even rail at
" the beam" which obstructs the aristocratic

NO ISANCES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—A few months back I addressed you on the sub-
ject of existing nuisances, and stated my conviction that
many local authorities would not perform their public
duty by causing the abominations to be removed; and
that the time will come when the Government would
have to appoint independent officers in order to carry
out the valuable sanitary laws effectually-
Let me now illustrate my opinion. The Corporation
of Leicester have what are called "The Town Slaughter-
houses," which, it turns out, have been kept in such a
scandalous state as to be most intolerable, and the lila
of a respectable individual, who resided near them, has
been sacrificed, as appears by the testimony of medical
men. This, too, in a town having a Board of Health !
I sincerely hope the Government will immediately in-
stitute inquiry into this sad affair.—Yours, obediently,
