the inspection tour, aro still at Queenstown, whence
they proceed to Kingstown and Holyhead to-morrow.
The First Lord will join Lady Graham at the Castle,

The Prussian corvette Amazone, 12, sailed to-day
from Spithead for Prussia. She saluted the garrison
on leaving.
The Princess Royal, 90, screw, got up steam for the
first time to-day in the steam basin dock, to prove her
boilers. In a few days more she will be coppered and
ship her propeller, and by the 14th of October will be
at Spithead ; thus showing that by the excellent ar-
rangements of the officers, and skilful application by the
artisans belonging to the dockyard establishment at this
port, any amount of work, if stated to the Lords of the
Admiralty can be completed by any stated time, is inva-
riably performed ; and this is effectually carried out
from the gallant Rear Admiral Superintendent Fan-
shawe down to the meanest labourer attached to this
important and chief of arsenals.
Letters from the fleet at Queenstown announce a court-
martial, ordered for this day, to be held on Second-Lieu-

served by all those who have seen Prince Albert in
military wilier= or dressed in the robes of State.

MANCHESTER.

Sept. 26.—Two more fatal cases were reported here
this morning, but our information warrants us in be-
lieving that they are of doubtful character. One, in-
deed, has since been declared as a case of delirium
tremens, and will be registered as such ; the other is a
fatal case of the English complaint, and not Asiatic.
In both cases there was everything favourable to the
approach of the epidemic ; and one of the deceased had
been drinking bard for three days, and lay out of doors
for two nights. The atmosphere at the present time is
remarkably clear and pure, having been completely
changed within twenty-four hours by the action of a
heavy gale of wind, which has extended from here far
into Yorkshire.

HOLBORN UNION.

Yesterday a special meeting of the guardians of the
Holborn Union was held to take into consideration the
directions of the General Board of Health of the 20th
of September, 1853 ; Mr. John S. S. Hopwood in the
chair. Mr. Sandland proposed that the guardians be
formed into commfttees of four for the purpose of visit-
ing the whole of the union, and, where nuisances were
found to exist, to take means for remedying them. He
said, now that the guardians had the power, under the
Order in Council, which they did not formerly possess,
it was their duty to ferret out nuisances wherever they
existed, and lose no time in applying a remedy. Mr.
Low seconded the resolution. The chairman, Mr.
Goldsworthy, and several other guardians having made
a few remarks, the resolution was adopted. Resolutions
were then adopted for carrying into effect the rules and
regulations of the General Board of Health.

THE NEW PENNY RECEIPT STAMP.—TIIO new uni-
form penny receipt stamp comes into use on the 15th of
October. The Stamp-office has already issued a notice
that it is prepared to supply them, or to stamp paper
and forms. Although not yet announced, we presume
that bankers will sell to their customers, at the cost of
the stamps, cheques having the penny stamp, and made
payable to order, instead of to bearer, not the least of
the advantages that will result from the new post.
Penny receipt stamps will now be as convenient a small
coin for transmitting small payments as penny postage
stamps. We have no doubt that the revenue will gain
by the change, for every receipt will now be stamped,
whereas at present not one receipt in fifty is stamped.
Remember that the payer of money, providingthe stamp,
is empowered by the act to deduct it from the payee.—

THE NEW PENNY RECEIPT STAMP.—The new uni-
form penny receipt stamp comes into use on the 15th of
October. The Stamp-office has already issued a notice
that it is prepared to supply them, or to stamp paper
and forms. Although not yet announced, we presume
that bankers will sell to their customers, at the cost of
the stamps, cheques having the penny stamp, and made
payable to order, instead of to bearer, not the least of
the advantages that will result from the new post.
Penny receipt stamps will now be as convenient a small
coin for transmitting small payments as penny postage
stamps. We have no doubt that the revenue will gain
by the change, for every receipt will now be stamped,
whereas at present not one receipt in fifty is stamped.
Remember that the payer of money, providingthe stamp,
se empowered by the act to deduct it from the payee.—

RATE OP DISCOUNT.—In the present disturbed state
of affairs the probability or otherwise of the Bank of
England raising their rate of discount to 5 per cent.
must depend entirely on the extent of the pressure ex-
perienced by them from day to day. It is believed,
however, that the intensity of the existing panic is re-
garded as being so much beyond what could have been
looked for that any step likely to add to it would be re-
luctantly resorted to.—Tinter.
CANADA.—Advises received from Canada state that
the news of the advance in the price of wheat on this
side had caused much activity in the markets, and that
it was expected from 4,000,000 to 5,000,000 bushels
would be shipped from the colony via the United States
before the closing of the navigation.
DUBLIN STOCK EXCHANGE, Monday Evening,—
There was a complete panic at the Stock Exchange to-
day. Consuls, alter several fluctuations, closed finally
at 91 ; Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stocks, which
which were done on Saturday at 951 4, fell to-day, at
close of the market, to 92i a. Bank Stock has shared
in the general depression, having fallen 3/. since Friday
last. Very little is doing in the share market. The
weather is favourable to-day. Very cold, but dry and
bright.

VIOLENT HURRICANE ON THE MERSEY,

AND LOSS OF LIFE.

LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.—This town and port were yes-
terday visited by a fearful gale blowing from the north-
west, accompanied by occasional heavy showers of rain,
which continued to an early hour this morning. In the
town the wreck of chimney-pots, tiles, &c., in nearly
every street, gave evidence of the violence of the storm.
The scaffolding to some newhouses in Mersey-street,
was blown down. The time-ball, on the summit of the
Telegraph-office, Castle-street, was much strained, and
would have been torn away had not the danger been
perceived in time to secure the shaft with ropes. The
river throughout the day was in an unasual state
of commotion, but in the evening it lashed itself into
a perfect fury, and all the ferry-boats, with the excep-
tion of those plying to or from Woodside, ceased run-
ning after 7 o'clock. Several ships in the ricer dragged
their anchors, and were obliged to be taken in tow by
steam-tugs. The bark Intrinsic got ashore near the
Sandon Dock, and sustained considerable damage, being
severely injured in the bows, and having lost rudder,
&c. She still remains ashore. During the height of
the gale two small vessels, names unknown, were seen
to founder off the North-west lightship, and all on board
perished. The ship Neva still remains ashore near !the
Huskisson Dock, thumping heavily, but it is not known
how many of her passengers were drowned, as the stir.

HOLBOIN UNION.

Yesterday a special meeting of the guardians of the
Holborn Union was held to take into consideration the
directions of the General Board of Health of the 20th
of September, 1853 ; Mr. John S. S. Hopwood in the
chair. Mr. Sandland proposed that the guardians be
formed into commfttees of four for the purpose of visit-
ing the whole of the union, and, where nuisances were
found to exist, to take means for remedying them. He
said, now that the guardians had the power, under the
Order in Council, which they did not formerly possess,
it was their duty to ferret out nuisances wherever they
existed, and lose no time in applying a remedy. Mr.
Low seconded the resolution. The chairman, Mr.
Goldsworthy, and several other guardians having mad•
a few remarks, the resolution was adopted. Resolutions
were then adopted for carrying into effect the rules and
regulations of the General Board of Health.

HEXHAM.

The secretary of the sanitary committee in this place
has been attacked with the epidemic. During the last
two days four deaths from cholera have taken place.
Choleraic diarrhoea is almost universal, and it is only
by prompt and energetic treatment that the disease is
arrested in this stage. Mr. Fairbridge 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.

MANCHESTER.

A violent storm of wind and rain commenced in this
neighbourhood on Sunday afternoon, and continued
during the night. The wind blew chiefly from the west,
but occasionally chopped round several points towards
the north. We heard of no loss of life, but the roofs of
buildings were greatly damaged, and a good many
trees were blown down. On the Cheshire side of the
city the country down to Dunham-park, the seat of the
Earl of Stamford and Warrington, is well wooded, and
in this direction many fine trees were blown down.
Sunday was the first day of Durham wake, which is
always resorted to by great numbers of visitors, who
come from a distance by private vehicles, as well as by
railway. Unfavourable as the weather was from the
earliest hour of the morning, it had not deterred many
people from venturing forth ; but the storm placed many
serious obstacles in the way of their return home. In
places along the turnpike roads the drivers of vehicles
found their progress frequently impeded, and sometimes
entirely stopped, by fine trees which had beenprostrated
by the storm, and many people trying to find their
way out of the difficulty by threading bye-lanes, after
encountering drenching rains and suffering great ex-
haustion from the violence of the wind, had to retrace
their course, and wait in the more frequented roads until
a passage could be cleared. In the intense darkness of
the night it is surprising that some serious accidents did
not occur, but we have not heard of any, though a good
deal of individual suffering was witnessed from long ex-
posure to the weather.
London, England, 1853-09-27

HACK_NEY UNION.

Though the parishes composing this union are to a
great extent of a suburban character, they were by no
means exempt from the ravages of cholera on its last
visitation. Its violence was principally felt in thore
low lying districts which abut on Hackney-brook, and
in streets where the drainage is neglected or imperfect.
Warned by the experience of 1849, the guardians have
lost no time in taking vigorous measures, in compliance
with the order of the Privy Council of the 15th inst.

LEEDS.

Throughout this borough the most active measure are
being taken by the several bodies of authority, in anti-
cipation of the visitation of the diseese, with a view to
its mitigation if not prevention in this district, and there
can be no doubt that these labours will be attended
with the most beneficial results. At present, though
fever and dysentery to some extent prevail, there is no-
thing to indicate the immediate presence of more serious
diseases, and by a timely and judicious co-operation on
the part of the inhabitants with the board of guardians,
and the nuisance and other committees of the town
council, there is every reason to hope that the virulence
of the cholera, should it visit us, will be by no means so
I great as in 1849.

Sole Lessee and Manager, Mr. William Cooke.

Mr. W. COOKb feels the greatest pleasure in announcing that the
Grand Nlythtlogical Burlesque Spectacle each Night increases in
attraction, and the pleasing and instructive nature of the subject
has already gained the attention of Parents and Guardians, who
nightly flock to the Amphitheatre with their younger branches to
witness the astounding and classical effects introduced in this un-
rivalled production. In order to keep up the uninterrupted chain
of novelty, an engagement has been entered into with Signor
CARLOTTI and Signor FRANCOIS, who will introduce their
matchless Feats as performed before the Rajah of Nagpore. These
extraordinary Artistes are pronounced incredible.

THE NEW PENNY RECEIPT STAMP.—The new uni-
form penny receipt stamp comes into use on the 15th of
October. The Stamp-office has already issued a notice
that it is prepared to supply them, or to stamp paper
and forms. Although not yet announced, we presume
that bankers will sell to their customers, at the cost of
the stamps, cheques having the penny stamp, and made
payable to order, instead of to bearer, not the least of
the advantages that will result from the new post.
Penny receipt stamps will now be as convenient a small
coin for transmitting small payments as penny postage
stamps. We have no doubt that the revenue will gain
by the change, for every receipt will now be stamped,
whereas at present not one receipt in fifty is stamped•
Remember that the payer of money, providing the stamp,
is empowered by the act to deduct it from the payee.—

• PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 26.
The Prussian corvette Amazone' 12, sailed to-day
from Spithead for Prussia. She saluted the garrison
on leaving.
The Princess Royal, 90, screw, got up steam for the
first time to day in the steam basin dock, to prove her
boilers. In a few days more she will be coppered and
ship her propeller, and by the 14th of October will be
at Spithead ; thus showing that by the excellent ar-
rangements of the officers, and skilful application by the
artisans belonging to the dockyard establishment at this
port, any amount of work, if stated to the Lords of the
Admiralty can be completed by any stated time, is inva-
riably performed ; and this is effectually carried out
from the gallant Rear Admiral Superintendent Fan-
shawe down to the meanest labourer attached to this
important and chief of arsenals.
Letters from the fleet at Queenstown announce a court-
martial, ordered for this day, to be held on Second-Lieu-
tenant Toms, of the Queen, on a charge of drunkenness.
The whole of ships in the outer roads, comprising

three war-steamers.
The figure-head of the Royall Albert, 131,screw steam-
ship was put up at the bow of that ship to-day. When

resemblance, combined with the dignity of attitude o!)-
served by all those ,who have, seen Prince Albert in
military uniform or dressed in the robes of State.
