BIRMINGII" Friday.
The members of the Association: before dispersing to their
homes in all parts of the kingdom, yesterday made a series
of excursions to Dudley and South Staffordshire, to exa-
mine the geological feat tires of the district and inspect its
great manufacturing establishments. Nearly 1000 persons
in all took part in these trips, a large proportion of the
number being ladies. The whole of the excursionists,
headed by the President and Sir Roderick Murchison, left
Birmingham by the London and North-Western Railway
shortly before 9 a.m., and arrived at Dudley in about three
quarters of an hour. They were there received by Mr. F.
Smith, the Mayor, and other gentlemen, and immediately
escorted through the shady avenue that winds round the
base of the precipitous Castle-hill to the entrance of the
famous limestone caverns, which were specially illuminated
for the occasion by order of Lord Dudley, the proprietor
of the grounds. The way to this subterranean region lay
down a small flight of stone steps. On entering, the eye
of the visitor met the word " Welcome," traced in luminous
characters with oil lamps. A band of music preceded the
party, and they had advanced but a few paces under ground
when a scene of singular grandeur burst upon their view.
A long vista of magnificent chambers and galleries, high-
arched and vaulted like a colossal crypt, was revealed to
their delighted gaze by the light of 10,000 candles and nu-
merous coloured lamps, the strange weird beauty of the
spectacle being enhanced by the reflection of the conti-
nuous rows of lights in the dark waters of a canal a mile
in length, which runs along the lower side of the caverns,
and used to afford the miner a convenient mode of trans-
porting the excavated material to the pit's mouth. This
Acherontic stream was fenced off for the protection of
the visitors, who, notwithstanding the innumerable
glowworm-like lights that twinkled along both sides
of the uneven and sometimes narrow path by which they
groped their way into the cavernous recesses, might easily
have missed their footing, and perhaps have needed the
friendly aid of the dark boatman who could be discerned
paddling about and putting the finishing touch to the illu-
minations as the bewildered visitors invaded his murky do-
main. The caverns appeared to be divided into three distinct
galleries, parted from each other by jagged edged columns
and huge masses of dark limestone rock. The lowest gal-
lery of all, through which the canal runs, is the grandest
and gloomiest. The second runs parallel to the first, and is

MEETING OF THE CATTLE TRADE ASSO

CIATION.

A meeting of cattle salesmen was held yesterday, at Mr.
Rudkin's, Salutation Tavern, Nowgate-street, when an
association was formed under the title of the Foreign
Cattle Trade Association, and Mr. Charles Hicks was
elected chairman of the association for tho year ensuing.
A meeting of salesmen was held in the same place some
time since, when a committee was appointed to' obtain in-
formation as to tho nature and outbreak of the cattle
disease.

The secretary of that committee, Mr. IRWIN, now re-
ported that they had met from time to time, and particular
attention had been bestowed on the cargoes of cattle from
Revel, in which they had received much assistance from
Messrs. Honck and Baker, who were personally connected
with the importation. It was proved to the satisfaction of
the committee that the cattle in question were shipped at
Revel in a state of perfect health, were in the same condi-
tion on their arrival in England, and that no case of infec-
tion could in any manner be ascribed to any part of this
cargo. Having made the preliminary inquiries, the com-
mittee applied to Sir G. Grey to receive a deputation for the
purpose of discussing the question of the origin of the disease
and the means best adapted'to repress it. The deputation
having been appointed for the 19th, was on that day received
by Mr. Waddington, and during an interview of about two
hours the matters were fully discussed in the presence of
Professor Symonds and Mr. Helps, secretary of the Privy
Council, during which time the views of the committee were
most courteously received by Mr. Waddington. The effect
of the interview had been that relations of a satisfactory
character had been established with the Government, which
the committee believed would prove of great eventual ser-
vice to the trade. In addition to frequent communications
with the Home Government, the committee, in the interest
of the general body, had addressed itself to the Russian and
French authorities, requesting assistance to substantiate
facts in the interest of the foreign cattle trade, and to cor-
rect errors which bad been made for want of more practical
information. The committee having thus opened a sphere
of usefulness, in laying down the honour which had been
entrusted to it, hoped the Foreign Cattle Trade Association
would follow out and improve the opportunity, and they had
no doubt but that a combined action of all members of the
trade would not fail to place the commerce in foreign cattle
upon a certain and satisfactory foundation.
The report having been received,

Mr. Bjewster was appointed deputy-chairman.

, •
it remained in the country a long 6d. Now it will be
the object of the second phase o file existence of your
commission to prevent the evil fro vtaking root, and lin-
gering, as heretofore, and to set motion all possible
means to hinder all recurrence and refartvof the; evil.be
members of your commission lastly consiatt it thibir d'etty,
before separating, to indicate to the Imperial Government
the general measures of public health without which a me-
tropolis so large, and in such constant communication with
countries which have the fatal privilege of spreading or
engendering epidemic diseases, would be at every moment
exposed to imminent perils. The intelligence of your
highness will guide us in this last duty. Many praise-
worthy and laudable acts of devotion have been stated
to your commission during the painful crisis we have
just passed, which it will hereafter bring under the no-
tice of your highness. But it would be wanting in its
most sacred duty if, before terminating its present re-
port, it omitted to pay a just tribute of sincere and warm
acknowledgment to the indefatigable activity, the zeal, and
the wisdom of its honoured president, Mehemed Dein
Pasha, Minister of Police. This high functionary has from
morning till night, and at every hour of the day, afforded
his personal aid, and that of his administration. His ex-
ample and counsels have been a constant and valuable sup-
port to us. The commission has, at the same time, great
satisfaction in calling to mind the constant zeal of the
3lust6char of the Police, Remzi Effendi, who has assisted
at many of the most laborious meetings ; and the remark-
able readiness, good will, and intelligent energy of the
commander-in-chief of the gendarmerie, Mustapha Pasha.
But the commission cannot sufficiently praise the perse-
vering devotion, the indefatigable zeal, the conduct, and
the intelligence shown by the police force—that excellent "k•
body which does so much honour to its chiefs."

'ORTING INTELLIGENCE.

DONCASTER RACES -FRIDAY.
The last day of Doncaster was as successful as any of
,he " off " days in point of attendance, though it was an
evident relief to all when the racing was concluded. The
enervating nature of the weather during the week, and the
feverish excitement prior to the St. Leger, have rendered
the Doncaster week one of the most exhausting of the sea-
son. The sun was even more powerful than on any of the
previous days of the meeting, as the heat came pouring
down, as it were, and almost suffocated the " ring." The
programme for the final day contained eight events for
decision, but a walk over for the Sweepstakes of 200 soya,
over the St. Leger Course, by Archimedes, reduced the
actual sport to seven races. It was imagined that Gladia-
teur would be unopposed for the Doncaster Stakes, but Mr.
Chaplin determined to run Breadalbane. It was then ar-
ranged between Count Lagrange and Mr. Chaplin that
Gladiateur should walk over and the stakes be divided; but
a third candidate appearing in Reginella, the numbers were
hoisted for a race. Gladiateur carried a penalty of 101 b for
his victories, and some infatuated individuals imagined this
would give Breadalbane a chance ; but although making a
semblance of a race at the distance, he was in difficulties
immediately the Frenchman increased the pace, and the
Leger winner won in a canter by three lengths, amidst
great cheering from the Tykes, who are positively enthu-
siastic in their admiration for Gladiateur. Ten went to the
post for the Town Plato, and Lord Douglas and Gulnara
were equal favourites at 4 to 1, while Salliet was in great
demand at 6 to 1; but the favourites were all out of it at the
distance, and the issue was left to Blue Mantle and Effie.
Capt. Lane's horse seemed to have all the best of it, but
would not struggle a yard when called on by Daley, and
Effie won by a length. Nineteen of the forty-three on the
card for the Nursery went to the post, Crown Prince,
Raunds, and Staghound being warm favourites. Sweet
Anne was also supported at prices down to 9 to 1, and cut-
ting down her opponents 200 yards from home, she can-
tered in a winner three lengths in front of Crown Prince.
The talent laid odds of 6 to 5 on Trapeze agst White Duck
in the Park Hill Stakes, but Lord Glasgow's filly won
cleverly by three-quarters of a length. The Scurry Stakes
produced an exciting race between Lady Abbess and Lady
Sophie, the latter winning cleverly by half a length. The
Cup resultedin a match between Ackworth and Hippolyta,
odds being paid on the Marquis of Hasting's representative,
who won after a splendid race by a length and a half.
The following are details of the running :
The Don Stakes of 50 soya. each, h. ft. for three-yr-olds ;
colts, Bst. 101 b.; filles, Bst 71b. Last mile. 8 subs.

The non-favourite made the running to the Red House,
where she was headed by Archimedes, who won in a canter
by three-quarters of a length.
The Doncaster Stakes of 10 soya each, with 100 added, for
three-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b ; fillies, Bst 61b. ; certain
winners extra ; the owner of the second horse to receive
50 sovs out of the stakes. Last mile and a half. 73 subs.

Lord Falmouth's Reginella, list 61b (T. French) 3
Betting-5 to lon Gladiateur.
They were together for a few strides, when Breadalbane
took a clear lead, Gladiateur going on second, and Regi-
nella last ; the Frenchman, however, soon being eased
dropped astern, and a mile from home Reginella forced the
pace and on sufferance took a long lead, which she held
till within a quarter of a mile from home, when she retired
beaten, and Gladiatur and Breadalbane came on into the
straight close together. At the distance Grimshaw let out
the Frenchman, who at once quitted Mr. Chaplin's horse
and won easily by three lengths ; Reginella was a bad
third.

The Cholera in Constantinople,

(From the Levant Herald.)

Though the hope of the total disappearance of this
epidemic has not been literally realised, the return
of the capital to convalesence is, perhaps, as rapid
as can be reasonably expected. The decrease in the
mortality during the week has been relatively much
greater than that of the previous seven days, and,
with continued improvement in the temperature,
the absolute exhaustion of the malady may now—if
no unforeseen cause of its revival intervene—be re-
garded as certain within the interval between this
and our next publication. A statement of the death
l
returns of the week will best show how great has
been the falling-off in the mortality as compared with
the numbei in our last report. On the 30th, the
official reckoning was 33 ; on the 31st, 25 ; on
Sept. 1, 17 ; for the 2d, 19 ; for the 3d, 16 ; and
for the 4th, 9. But for the relaxation of the rigid
veto against the sale of certain kinds of green fruit,
and the consequent over-consumption of grapes,
there is reason to believe that even this last small
return would have dwindled down to a solitary case
or two, of which examples may probably still be
expected for ten days or a fortnight to come, like
the last straggling shots on the outskirts of a battle-
field, long after the main carnage is over. That
the evil, however, is now virtually past is testified

by perhaps higher authority than that of these officia

returns. The birds, which of every kind, from the
sparrow to the sea gull and kite, absolutely disap-
peared from the capital within a week after the
outbreak of the disease, have, during the
past week, nearly all come back. This singular
incident of the visitation appears to have escaped
general notice ; but the fact that these feathered
health-inspectors are again amongst us is conclu-
sive as to the returning salubrity of the atmosphere.
From the provinces the news is equally favourable.
The official reports from Smyrna, Salonica, Varna,
Kustendjie, and Trebizond, tell of the rapid abate-
ment of the malady at all these points, and warrant
hope of its entire disappearance from the whole
within the next 10 or 15 days. This happy poverty
of incident in connection with the epidemic during

the week gives us room to notice an absurd corres-
pondence which has been foisted on the Times, and
through it on Galignani, by the credulous friends of
some local English observer, who is described by
his sponsor as " a resident whose avocations pre-
vented his leaving the spot at which he had been
stationed. This (continues the correspondent) was
in the midst of the pestilence, and in close proximity
to the hospitals recently established by the Govern-
ment. He professes himself to have been an obser-
ver uninfluenced by the panic almost universally
prevalent, and the statements he makes are, there-
fore, untinged with the excitement which fear pro-
duces." Some extracts are then given, and the
article concludes as follows :—" Detailed contradic-
tion of such statements as these would be waste of
space, but to place our contemporary on its guard
against further stuff of the kind, we may briefly
characterise the whole as a tissue of the most absurd
exaggeration. The writer may have meant it for a

study' after Defoe or Boccacio, but he should at
least have kept within the decent range of the facts.
The visitation has been bad enough—as our own
columns have honestly testified—but at no time has
its ravages been half so horrible as this courageous
young gentleman would have his anxious friends at
home believe."

In view of the now proximate disappearance of
the epidemic, and of the consequent close of its
present functions, the Medical Commission has ad-
dressed the following report to the Grand Vizier
On the 16th of last July your highness, the illustrious
interpreter of the noble intentions of our august Sovereign,
appointed the Extraordinary Commission of Public Health,
and assigned it the duty of combating by all possible means
the pest which had invaded the capital. Your commission,
during the six weeks just elapsed, has occupied itself in
conquering the disease by measures for the public health,
undertaken on a large scale; by the most advisable preven-
tive measures ; by the establishment of houses of refuge,
oafmbdulomianccielyhospitals, &c. ; by the organisation of a service
assistance ; in short, by all the means of
which the utility, under such circumstances, is undoubted.
These measures preserved the healthy, relieved the suffer-
ing, saved many from being victims, and re-established the
courage of the population by theirresults. All the measures
taken by your commission during the first period of its
action have received the high approval of your highness.
They will be forthwith brought to the notice of Europe and
of the scientific world, as well as the results obtained, to the
glory of our august Sovereign and of his enlightened Go-
vernment. Meanwhile your commission considers itself
happy to be able at present to inform your highness that
the epidemic, combated in spite of its extreme virulence,
driven back step by step, is in full retreat from all its posi-
tions. In a short time the last trace of its odious pre-
sence will have disappeared from our beautiful capital
The relieved people will bless the inexhaustible benevo-
lence of its powerful monarch. Your commission
finds itself on the point of entering on a new period
of its existence, much more important than the
former, and much more difficult to bring to a successful

issue. Before entering upon it, all the members of the com-
mission feel the necessity of informing your highness that,
up to the present time simple instruments of the will of
your highness, they have throughout endeavoured to be-
come imbued with your unconquerable energy. Your high
intelligence and your sure penetration have been their
guides in this painful struggle. We attribute the success of
the measures of the commission solely to your highness, for

more than once, exposed to hostile and unjust criticism, we
should have abandoned the struggle but for the generous

The disinclination of Blue Mantle to approach his horses
caused some delay at the post, but upon the flag being
lowered the lot got away on good terms, Salliet having
Gazza Ladra and Gulnara as her immediate followers, at
once made play, the next division being headed by Blue
Mantle and Effie till reaching the bend, where Gazza Ladra
gave way, and Salliet at the distance was joined by Effie,
and Blue Mantle, who ran as soft as usual,- being de-
feated by a length ; Salliet finished third, a neck in the
rear of Captain Lane's horse, Lord Douglas close up was
fourth, Gulnara a good fifth, Molly Carew and Gazza
Ladra next, Cadiz last a long way in the rear.
