SUFFOLK.

The disease is committing serious ravages at Mel-
ford, several farmers having lost fine beasts. In
the park attached to Melford-hall, the country re-
sidence of Lord Alfred Paget, 11 beasts were killed
on Thursday, besides others which had died pre-
viously. Where the animals fall and die there they
are buried in accordance with the Orders in Coun-
cil. About 140 head of cattle are depastured in the
park and none of them are to be removed. The
labours of Mr. Hutton, the local inspector, have
been incessant. Precautionary measures continue
also to be taken in other parts of the county, in
which it should be added that the disease is not by
any means so virulent.

THE CHOLERA.

The Courrier of Marseilles gives the following
account of the mortality there :—" On the 28th ult.
60 deaths were registered, of which 16 were from
cholera. On the 29th, 50 deaths were registered by
one o'clock, of which 32 were from cholera-8 of
them in hospitals, and 24 in private dwellings. The
number of deaths from cholera at 'Marseilles during
the five weeks which have elapsed since its first ap-
pearance on the 23d July are :-Ist week, 20; 2d,
45 ; 3d, 49 ; 4th, 108 ; sth, 107—total, 389."

The latest Italian cholera bulletin is as follows :

—Ancona, 29th ult., 17 cases and 17 deaths ;
San Severn, 28th, 137 cases and 62 deaths ;
San Nicandro, 27th, 6 cases and as many deaths ;
Apricena, San Marco in Lamis, and Torre Maggiore,
2 new cases and 3 deaths in all ; Osimo (near An-
cona), 28th, 3 cases and 1 death ; on the 29th none ;
Manduria (Terra d'Otranta), 27th, 80 cases and 31
deaths.

The Odessa Gazette announces that there have
been five cases of cholera at Galatz, of which
two terminated fatally ; five cases of cholera had
also occurred on board three vessels which had
arrived at Odessa from Constantinople. General
Kotzebue has issued an order that all vessels
coming from the Principalities, Constantinople,
and the Turkish ports of the Black sea, shall un-
dergo ten days' quarantine. Moreover, the Go-
vernor-General, after consulting with the authorities
and physicians of the city, has ordered that all
vessels coming from foreign ports shall be stopped
near Langeron (three miles from the city), where a
guard shall be placed to watch them. The quarantine
of the town is quite closed, and there is no communi-
cation with it. A committee has been formed at
Odessa to deliberate upon the measures to be taken
to stop the cholera, and diminish its effects in case
it should appear in the town.

BOROUGH HOP.

Picking is making rapid progress, and the accounts at
hand respecting the yield are most satisfactory. The qua-
lity of the produce is exceedingly good. The trade, con-
sequently, is dull, with a downward tendency in prices,
Kent produce is selling at £4 103 to 46 ; and Sussex at
£4 4s to £5 5s per cwt. Old hops command but little
attention. There was no import into London last week.

CENTRAL WALES EXTENSION.

The half yearly meeting of this company was held
at Shrewsbury on Thursday, Mr. Price, M.P., in
the chair.

The report stated that the works continued to
progress throughout. From the difficult nature of
the materials met with in the summit cutting near
Llanwyntd, considerable time would be required for
the completion of this portion of the railway beyond
what was anticipated. At the northern end the
contractor was pushing on the works so as to have
the railway ready for opening near Llangammarch
at the earliest possible period.

The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said there was no doubt the line would ulti-
mately become a very valuable property.
The retiring directors and auditors having been
re-elected, the proceedings terminated with a vote
of thanks to the chairman.

place where men of genius, or of more than common
note, have dwelt, we may remark that the site of the
ancient toy-shop is now occupied by the Geological
Museum: Mr. ex-Justice Haliburton left it to take
higher seat elsewhere. His ambition was satisfied
by his becoming member for Launceston. Like
many dashing satirists, the man so bold on paper was
a tittiid and ineffective speaker. The last time he
addressed the house was on the Canadian defences,
on which occasion he was listened to with more than
usual respect as a man who spoke with authority.
His principles were of the old Tory school, and
from these he never swerved. As may be sup-
posed from his " Sam Slick" series of books
he was an excellent story-teller ; but he was as
pleased to listen to a good story as he was himself
skilled in the art of telling one. His observation
of national and personal character was so acute,
correct, and humorous, that in the delineation of
them he rose to the rank of an artist who had no
second in his peculiar vocation, nor, indeed, any
competitor deserving of the name. He was tho-
roughly original, and all imitations of an originality
that defied being imitated, were execrable. In "Sam
Slick" he portrayed national character beyond the,
Atlantic. In his "Letter-bag of the Great IV estern,:
he gave life-like portraits of individuals, their
manners, style, feelings, and expressions. Perhaps
the most faultless of these papers is the " Journal of
an Actress," in which the cleverness and audacity,
refinement and coarseness, modesty and bounce,
pretty humility and prettier arrogance of Miss FannY
Kemble were touched off in a style which all the
world could identify, and the lady herself not turn
her lip at, except to smile at the skill with which her
literary merits and affectations were imitated so as
to be like reality. Few writers have showered more
innocent mirth on our generation than the late I‘ll%
Haliburton.

NORFOLK.

During the past week some few fresh instances
of the disease have occurred in Norfolk, but at the
same time it is satisfactory to observe that the
prompt and vigorouspucautions taken have checked
to some extent the progress of the calamity. Some
disease has, however, appeared among sheep. Cases
of the cattle plague are reported from Felbrigg,
Southrepps, Bradfield, Wickhampton, and Burgh.
On Saturday a meeting of the Central Committee
was held at Norwich, Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., pre-
siding. It appeared that the subscription raised in
aid of the rate imposed for compensation purposes
is now about £4,000, and substantial relief has been
afforded to several sufferers. Among recent sub-
scribers to the fund are Messrs. Gurneys and Birk-
becks, £2OO ; Mr. J. B. Petre, £lOO ; the Bishop
of Norwich, £504 Lord Sondes, £5O ; Lord Staf-
ford, £5O; Lieut.-General Angerstein, £5O ; Major
Hare, £5O ; Mr. A. Cator, £5O ; Mr. J. Calthrop,
£5O ; Mr. R. Overman, £5O ; Mr. li. Lestrange,
£5O ; Mr. B. B. Cabbell, £5O, &c. With the view
of ascertaining the precise state of affairs, the com-
mittee agreed, on the motion of Mr. Woods, agent
of Lord Walsingham, to address the following ques-
tions to each Poor-law Union in the county :—" 1.
Are there any cattle in your union affected by any
disease similar to the cattle plague, and if so state
what parish, when it broke out, and if a veterinary
surgeon had been called in ? 2. Have any cattle
died in your union of any similar disease ? 3. If
you suppose the disease to exist in your union, can
you trace it to any particular cause ? 4. Is there
any smallpox among the sheep in your union, or
has there been within the last six months ?"

Mr. R. J. 11. Harvey, M.P., has addressed a very
long letter to Mr. C. S. Read, M.P., on what he
characterizes as the " cattle panic."

STAFFORDSHIRE.

In consequence of the prevalence of the cattle
disease in many parts of the kingdom, the committee
of the Staffordshire Agricultural Society have de-
cided that the annual exhibition, which was to have
been held at Lichfield on the 26th and 27th inst.,
shall not take place this year.

The New Steamship Allemannia.

This noble specimen of marine architecture, just
built for the Hamburg and American Steampacket
Company, left the Southampton Docks on Saturday
morning at 11 o'clock, with a party of about 100
ladies and gentlemen on board, and proceeded to
Spithead, for the purpose of testing her speed and
the working of her machinery before being placed
on the line between Hamburg, Southampton, and
New York. The Allemannia was built by Messrs.
C. A. Day and Co., of the Northern Ironworks, at
Southampton, from the designs of Mr. Macormac,
their nautical constructor, and engined at the same
establishment. She has accommodation for 60 first
and 160 second class passengers, and 600 emigrants,
while stowage capacity is provided for 1,000 tons of
cargo and 900 tons of coal. The length of the ves-
sel between perpendiculars is 313 ft. ; breadth, 40ft.
3in. ; depth from base line to spar deck, 35ft. 10in. ;
I tonnage, builders' measurement, 2,484 ; engines,
400 horse-power nominal, fitted with four boilers,
superheating apparatus, and all the most recent
improvements applicable to marine engines.
During the run on Saturday the engines made 62
revolutions per minute, with 251 b. pressure of steam,
and vacuum 27iu. The chief saloon is fitted up in
the most elegant style, and the arrangements of the
sleeping berths and other parts of the vessel are com-
plete in every respect. The spar deck is flush fore
and aft, the hull has a straight stem and round
stern, and the vessel is brig rigged. On leaving
Southampton the Allemannia steamed direct to Spit-
head, and passed down the line of the English fleet
there at anchor. After running through Spithead
the Allemannia steamed out towards the Nab Light,
and then returned and proceeded to the westward,
nearly to the Needles, finally reaching the docks
about 7 o'clock in the evening. A very high rate of
speed was sustained throughout the trip, and the
performances of the ship gave great satisfaction to
all on board. During the afternoon the company
partook of a d6efiner in the magnificent saloon,
where a few toasts were drunk, and the builders of
the Allemannia were warmly complimented on hav-
ing produced so noble a vessel, creditable alike to
the firm of Messrs. Day and Co. and to the port of
Southampton. The command of the Allemannia is
intrusted to Capt. H. N. Trautmann, and she is in-
tended to leave Southampton, on her first outward
voyage to New York, on the 20th inst. A new screw
steamer named the Surat, of 2,596 tons and 500-
horse power, and 14ft. longer than the Allemannia,
is rapidly approaching completion for the Peninsular
and Oriental Company at Messrs. Day's yard a

BOROUGH HOP.
Picking is making rapid progress, and the accounts at
hand respecting the yield are most satisfactory. The qua-
lity of the produce is exceedingly good. The trade, con-
sequently, is dull, with a downward tendency in prices.
Kent produce is selling at £4 lOs to £6 ; and Sussex at
£4 4s to .Z 5 5s per cwt. Old hops command but little
attention. There was no import into London last week.

BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS.
Moderate supplies of potatoes are on sale, the trade for
which is dull, at lower prices. Prices range from 50s to
90s per ton. The arrivals aro almost entirely confined to
home-grown produce.

WOOL.
The public sales of colonial wool continue to be well
attended by home buyers, and the demand for most de-
scriptions of wool for home consumption is tolerably ex-
tensive. The export inquiry, however, is still of very mo-
derate extent. As regards all good and fine wools, prices
aro decidedly firm ; but faulty descriptions are rather
ower than at the close of last series. In English wool, by
private contract, an incroabed amount of bu4ieb4 Inu been

opportune for me to make, in its name, the following de-
clarations :

"1. That it insists in considering as sufficient satisfaction
the proposals contained in the scheme of arrangement:otthe
25th of June last. But these proposals will be considered
withdrawn and as null and void in the event of their not
being accepted within the time which her Majesty's Go-
vernment may fix, and whereof it will give previous no-
tice to the Government of Peru.
"2. That whatever may be the termination and settle-
ment of future events it now again disavows any views of
reconquest and domination in the territory of the Ameri-
can continent. _ _

3. In like manner her Majesty's Government insists upon
not considering the Chinchas Islands as occupied under the
title of revindication, but as a coercive measure to obtain
from the Peruvian Government just redress for repeated
•
and manifest injuries.

"4. That it is possible it may be obliged to make ulterior
arrangements with regard to the exportation of guano and
the trade in that article in the Chinchas Islands, as much
in order to prevent the Peruvian Government from obtain-
ing by this means resources that might be applied to hos-
tile preparations, as to obtain an indemnity for losses in-
curred or that may arise from the occupation of the Islands
until their future abandonment when the present differ-
ences shall have terminated. But in any case it is contem-
plated to proceed in such a manner that no prejudice may
result to the commerce and agriculture of other nations nor
to the foreign creditors of Peru, who became such under
contracts approved by the Peruvian Congress and published
prior to the 14th of April last, the date of the occupation,
in as far as regards the lien or guarantee that may have
been established in their favour upon the proceeds of
those securities. These obligations contracted and these
securities given, the exact fulfilment of which will be a
point of honour with the Spanish Government, it only re-
mains for me to state, in its name, the profound regret which
it feels in being compelled to commend the redress of so
many offences to the sole means it is possible to employ, when
all ways of negotiation being closed the natural limits of
endurance and prudence are reached. Though an inde-
pendent Government may place in jeopardy the destinies
of the land to which our ancestors carried the blessings of
civilisation and Christianity, at least the countries in past
times the theatre of the prowess of Spaniards should not
now become the scene of continued and unpunished affronts.
The bonds of a domination which no one dreams of or has
an interest in re-establishing being for ever broken, may
they soon be replaced by the ties of friendship and com-
merce, the only link that will maintain and strengthen mu-
tual respect for the rights and interests of both nations.

comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 11-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.

The Report of the Metropolitan Ins

of
Poor Laws cannot fail to interest those who study
such subjects, and enter upon the details with the
necessary care and consideration they require, and
do not suffer themselves to be deterred by the dry-
nets of the theme or the complex character of its
accounts. Just now this matter is particularly
appropriate, when we are constantly hearing of
such cases, and also are called upon to consider the
causes that lead to deplorable destitution, and that
seem to preclude remedies and militate against relief
in certain quarters. It is impossible to read a report
like this without feeling that great as are the appa-
rent efforts made to relieve the poor, in reality the
effect is very different from what it should be. It is
one thingto make a law and another to carry it out in
guela a manner that its workings are profitable and

CAPTURE OF SAVANNAH.
NEW YORK, DEC. 28 (Morning).
Sherman has occupied Savannah. Hardee's army

escaped.
Admiral Porter made an attack by land and sea
on Fort Fisher, Wilmington. The land attack has
been repulsed. The firing by the fleet continues
furiously. _ _

NEW YORK, DEC. 28, MORNING.

It is officially announced that General Sherman
occupied Savannah on the 22d inst., capturing 150
guns, 30,000 bales of cotton, and 800 prisoners.
Hardee escaped with the main body of his army
by crossing the river to Union Causeway, opposite
the city, after destroying the iron-clads and navy
yards. Twenty thousand inhabitants remained in
the city. Correspondents state that Sherman,
having captured Fort Lee and several outworks,
demanded the surrender of Savannah on the 21st
inst., stating that if refused he would take no pri-
soners. Hardee refused. and escaped during the
night.

RAILWAY RECEIPTS IN 1864.

It appears that the receipts for traffic on railways in the
United Kingdom for the year 1864 amount to 33,182,4901.,
and for the year 1863 to 30,490,6601., showing an increase of
2,683,8301., or about double the average increase per an-
num. The aggregate length of the railways over which
the traffic was carried was 12,582 miles, against 11,904
miles in 1863, showing an increase of 678 miles. The traffic
receipts per mile averaged 2,6461., against 2,5621. in 1863 ;
the working expenses were 47 per cent. of the receipts,
against 48 per cent. in 1863. The proportion of traffic to
the capital expended was 848 per cent., against 817 per
cent. in 1863, and the average return on the capital ex-

pended was 449 per cent, against 4.25 per cent. in 1863,
showing an increase of a quarter per cent. So that the net
return on the working of all or nearly all the railways in
1864 was equivalent to per cent. on the total capital ex-
pended. This is the largest average return on the capital
expended since 1847, when the rate averaged 4.69 or near
41 per cent. In the interval the lowest average reached
was in 1850, when it touched 311 per cent. ; it gradually
rose to 4 per cent. in 1856, and from thence, with some fluc-
tuations, increased to per cent. in 1864.
The amount of capital expended to the middle of 1847
was 114,728,0001., to 1850 230,522,7001., to 1856
298,946,2601., and to the middle of last year 391,396,680/.—
so that from 1847 to 1864, a period of 17 years, ',the large
amount of 284,218,2601. was expended on those railways,
The
being an average outlay of 16,719,0001. per annum.
traffic receipts in 1847 amounted to 9,278,000/. ; in 1850 to
33,182,0001. Considering the magnitude of the outlaraytaenof

THE COLLIERY ACIDENT AT WIGAN.—The ear-
nest and laborious exertions of the men engaged in remov-
ing the bricks and ashes which had fallen on the eight
sinkers whose sudden entombment at the Douglas Bank
Colliery we reported on Thursday, were successful on
Wednesday evening in rescuing three of the men alive and
in recovering the bodies of the remaining five. Thehoppit
in which the men were descending would appear to have
been lowered into the falling brickwork, which, striking
the bucket, threw it on its side, thus affording those who
were able to keep their places a protection from the mass of
rubbish which soon lay upon them. Death in nearly all
cases seemed to have resulted from suffocation, as but few
bruises were to be notic,e4,. The bodies were removed
to the Martland Mill-britrlnn to await the coroner's
inquiry.

when the hair is once restored one application per month will
keep it in perfect colour. Prize one guinea per bottle, or in
half bottles, 10s. 63. Testimonials from artistes of the highest
order, and from individuals of undoubted respectability, may
be seen on application. Messrs. John Gosnell and Co. have
