THE LATE COLONEL BALVAIED.—The deceased gen-
tleman was engaged in most of the famous actions of
the last war, in several of which his personal prowess
and gallantry are matter of historical record. Colonel
oßfahlvisaicrodmemnitsesrieodnstbheeinagr,magy

,
as captain, May 16, 1805 ; as major, Nov. 22, 1813 ; as
lieutenant-colonel, June 21, 1817 ; and as colonel, Jan.
10, 1837. Through the Peninsular war he served with
the Rifle Brigade. For the battles of Nivelle and Nive,
he received a gold medal and a clasp ; and the silver war
medal, with six clasps, for the battles of Busaco, Fuentes
d'Onor, Ciudad Rodrigo, Salamanca, and Pyrenees. In
each of these battles the deceased distinguished himself ;
and, with the Rifles, took part in almost all the hard
fighting which that celebrated corps went through. He
was also present at the siege of Copenhagen, At
A Bsdajoz he was seTerely wounded.

HER MAJESTY'S FLEET AT
QUEENSTOWN.

The arrival of upwards of twenty vessels of the
royal navy in the somewhat secluded naval station
of Queenstown has made a great excitement among
the inhabitants. Such a spectacle was never be-
fore witnessed by the present generation.
Queenstown has long been known as a naval
station, and seems, indeed, to have been fashioned
by the hand of nature expressly for the purpose.
Here the river Lee, just before mingling its waters
with the ocean, broadens out into a wide and ample
estuary, deeply indenting the land towards the
south, where, however, finding no outlet through
the high and rocky barrier that intervenes, it turns
northward again, and at last finds a narrow channel
seaward through a gap in the hills to the west.
The result of this configuration is, that the
estuary is land-locked in the ample embrace of high
ground on all sides, except at the entrance to the
westward, which is not more than a mile and a
quarter across, from point to point, at the narrowest
part of it, while, as if to complete the security of
the shelter, Spike Island lies opposite to, and not
more than a mile from, the narrows, acting as a
natural breakwater against any sea that a west or
south-west wind might send through the mouth of
the harbour. It must not be forgotten that the
entrance is as easy as the harbour is secure. There
are no shoals nor sunken rocks in the way; and the
largest vessel in the British navy, entering at all
times of the tide, may be certain of finding secure
anchorage within.
While nature has been thus bountiful to the
place, in protecting it against the war of the ele-
ments, the resources of art have not been neglected
to seal it against the hostile approach of the fo-
reigner. As already mentioned, the width of the
channel at the narrowest point is only a mile and
a quarter. At that part two batteries have been
erected, nearly opposite to each other, Fort Cam-
den and Fort Caroline, each mounted with upwards
of 30 heavy guns ; while a third battery is also
erected on the seaward side of Spike Island. So
that, supposing a hostile fleet to be rash enough to
attempt the passage, they would be exposed to the
destructive fire of two forts on each flank ; while
the guns from Spike Island would pound them in
front. It may safely be said that the defences of
Queenstown are complete.
The people are dissatisfied with the compara-
tively small use to which the Government of the
country have hitherto turned this magnificent har-
bour. Lying out of the usual track which our
ships of war traverse, it has not been frequented
by them with that frequency, or iu those numbers,
that the security of its roadstead might be sup-
posed to invite. But now that the great question
of a western packet station has sprung up, and in-
creases in importance every day, the inhabitants
are making a vigorous effort to secure the prefer-
ence of the authorities for this port, and they are
not without hope that the expected visit of the
Lords of the Admiralty has reference to this
very question ; or, at least, that when they
come here and examine, with their own eyes,
the splendid natural capabilities of the port,
they will be impressed with a due sense of its
value, and of the necessity of conferring upon
Queenstown the boon which they so anxiously
desire—that of being the point of departure
for the mail packets to America. It is well known
that the contest has hitherto been between Queens-
town and Galway. But the people here say that
though Galway is some seventy or eighty miles
more to the westward, and by that distance, there-
fore, the nearer to the western shores of the At-
lantic, yet that advantage is much more than
counterbalanced by the inconveniences attending
the approach to Galway Harbour, which, in winter
especially, is dangerous to approach in certain states
of the weather, and might oblige the packets to
keep off for days together ; whereas Queenstown
can be made at all times and in all weathers ; so
that in point of fact the mail could be transmitted
with nearly as much speed, and with far greater
regularity and accuracy on the average, from
Queenstown, as it could be from Galway.
It is now considered that the presence of the Lords
of the Admiralty in the harbour, where they. may
see with their own eyes the advantages it possesses,
both by nature and art, is the harbinger of better
and brighter days, both for the town and its port.
Among the other Government works at present in
progress here, there is a pier, which has been in the
course of construction for some time, and is just
beginning to rear its head above high-water mark.

When finished, it will serve as a landing-place
for passengers, but its principal use as a Govern-
ment work will be to facilitate the supply of water
to her Majesty's ships that may call here, as pipes
are laid down from a tank at the top of the hill,
which is supplied from some springs in the vicinity
—thus superseding the tank at Haulbowline, which
is supplied only by rain-water, and is unable in
consequence to supply such a large fleet as is now
collected. As this pier has now attained a height
when mortar may be safely used in its construction,
it was thought a good stroke of policy by the Cork
town council to invite the First Lord of the Ad-
miralty to lay the first stone on the occasion of his
approachinc, visit, and afterwards to accept of a
banquet to be given him in honour of the event,
and some of the councillors were indiscreet enough
to add that they would take the opportunity of
calling his attention to the capabilities of the har-
bour. They had reckoned without their host,
however. The invitation was forwarded, and in
due course an answer was received from Sir James
Graham, intimating, as we understand, that he
would be very happy, if his public duties would
allow, to assist at the ceremony of laying the stone,
but that he must decline to attend the subsequent
banquet.
Four vessels have been for some days in the
harbour—the London, the Blenheim, the Impe-
rieuse, and the Terrible paddle-steamer, which, ast
is at present doing duty as flag-ship for Sir Wm.
Carroll, the port-admiral. So matters remained
till about midday on Saturday, when the towering
hulk of the Prince Regent, bearing the flag of
Admiral Corry, blue at the mizen, was seen enter-
ing the harbour. All her sails were furled, and as
she is unfitted with a screw apparatus, she was
towed slowly in by one of the attendant steamers,
and anchored near the centre of the " man-of-war
roads," as nearly as possible on the spot where she
anchored when here last year. She was followed
soon afterwards by the still more gigantic form of
that

vessels are cruising outside the harbour, awaiting
the arrival of Sir James Graham and the Lords of
the Admiralty, who are expected here in the Black
Eagle, though it is not known with certainty what
time they may arrive. When the Black Eagle makes
her appearance, it is said, the vessels outside will

Excess in 1853

466

The mortality for Saturday, it will be seen, is but
little in excess of that of the day before. The complete
record for Sunday has not yet reached London. A very
important steps has been taken to-day by the authorities
in London. .

It has been found that, in a part of Newcastle called
Sandgate, 4,000 people are living in a state of such
filth, overcrowding, and absolute want of the common-
est convenience for either decency •r cleanliness, that
the only hope of effectually checking the progress of the
epidemic among them, is to remove them from the
locality.
The inspector of the General Board of Health has
recommended acting on the experience of 1849, when
in the small town of Mevagissey, in Cornwall, where
the habitations of the poor are closely packed, and
where the whole site is described as one mass of filth
which could not be removed in time to avert the most
disastrous consequences, the inspector advised the im-
mediate removal of the population. In this instance
there was no local means of providing houses of refuge ;
but the Board of Ordnance, on the application of the
General Board of Health, kindly granted the use of
tents, in which 360 of the population were accommo-
dated. Besides these, upwards of 600 people left the
locality, and dispersed themselves elsewhere. Amongst
the people drafted into the tents not a single case of
cholera occurred, whilst 126 additional cases took place
amongst the population which remained in the houses.
There were no means of obtaining accurate information
as to the 600 of the population dispersed, but it was
reported generally that they experienced similar immu-
nity. Another consequence of this great thinning of
the population, amounting to the withdrawal of nearly
one-half of the whole inhabitants, was that the fatality
was diminished in a greater ratio among those who

were left.
Tents were supplied by the Board of Ordnance in
several other instances, at the request of the General
Board of Health, with similar beneficial results.
Application has accordingly been made, on Mr.
Grainger's representation, to the War-office and the
Board of Ordnance. The latter board have promptly
sent the order for the immediate despatch of 200 tents,
and the former office promise the aid and co-operation
of an experienced officer.
The directions and regulations of the General Board
Health, under the order in Council, are prepared, and
will be printed for issue by to-morrow.
In reply to objections expressing apprehensions from
being tented out (luring this weather, it was stated that
at Chobham, during excessively wet weather, the sick-
ness amongst the troops was less than usual in barracks,
and that, on occasions of epidemic, troops had been re-
moved from barracks to tents always with great advan-
tage, where the site of the tents was good.
The following is front Newcastle yesterday at noon :
—We have the finest morning that we have had during
\the week past. The atmosphere is clear, and a fine
breeze is sweeping the town from the west. The deaths,
it will be seen, ran up to 110 on Saturday evening, the
cases having been very sudden and violent during the
afternoon. Tents are being erected on the Town Moor
this morning, to which people from infected districts
will be removed. The church-yard of All Saints', St.
Andrew's, St. Nicholas, and St. John's, have been
closed by the churchwardens, the necessity of which
may be appreciated from the fact that in St. John's
yard, in time midst of a populous neighbourhood, during
last week a grave was made 23 inches deep to contain a
coffin 22 inches high. St. Ann's, Jesmond Cemetery,
St. Paul's, and Westgate Cemetery are open. The
guardians have appointed two additional gravediggers
to each of the three first-named places, so that the poor
Ina), be interred in decency. Dr. Gavin has been sent
down by the Board of Health to relieve Mr. Grainger.
Dr. Gavin was to visit the infected districts this morn-
ing, to close those dwellings which he considers unfit for
human habitation. The following are the deaths in each
district during the past two days :

It is not certainly known what mauceuvres, or,
indeed, whether any, are to be practised by the
fleet. The intentions of the Admiralty in sending
them here at a time when they themselves visit the
port on their lour of inspection, have hitherto been
kept withintheir own breast ; and, as a consequence,
all sorts of rumours are afloat. The people, how-
ever, have determined
that, whatever may be the
indecision as to the displays intended for their gra-
tification, no uncertainty shall exist on the point
of their readiness to fete and amuse their naval
visitors.

THE NEW MAIL STEAM-SHIP SOLENT.-E%•
TRAORDINARY SPEED.

This new mail (paddle) steamship, built for the Wes
India Company by the Messrs. White, of Cowes, of
1,800 tons, with oscillating engines of 400 horse-power
by Messrs. Miller, Ravenhill. and Salkeld, of Blackwall
and Newcastle, was tried in Stokes Bay, for the purpose
of sending to the Government surveyor the result of her
steaming powers.
There were on board Captain Liot, inter-colonial in-
spector and manager ; Captain Vincent, R.N., super-
intendent to the company ; Mr. G. Mills, engineer to
ditto ; Messrs. Waterman and Hughes, Government
inspectors ; Captain Austen, R.N., Admiralty super-
intendent of packets ; Messrs. Ravenhill and Salkeld,
constructors of engines belonging to the ship ; Lieu-
tenant Austin, R.N., naval examiner, &c.
Upon completing her four first runs, the result was
as follows :

Revolution of Engine.

Time. Knots.

Showing an average of 13.945, or little less than 14
knots per hour.
Thus giving the surprising average of nearly 14 knots
or 16.148 statute miles an hour. This is a most extra-
ordinary speed from the proportion of horse-power to
tonnage which the Solent possesses, and fully maintains
the increasing reputation which the eminent firm of
Miller, Ravenhill, and Salkeld has achieved in the On-
dine, Llewellyn, Prince Arthur, sea-going vessels, and
their matchless river boats, New Star, Jupiter, and
Mars. There can be no doubt that the Solent is by far
the fastest vessel belonging to the Royal Mail Company,
and of her tonnage the fastest ship of her class afloat.
SCREW STEAMING.—The Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's screw steam-ship Cadiz was also taken a trial in
Stokes Bay, having had the common screw replaced in
the stead of Griffith's patent. The result attained at
this trial was 11 597 knots, or one knot more than the
speed gained by the last trial of Griffith's screw-pro-
peller.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TATTE RSALI'S -MONDAY.

The remarks contained in our report of the partial
settlement which took place at Doncaster were fully
justified by the business which was transacted at the
Corner to-day—the pecuniary supply was for the most
part equal to the demand.
In a few instances a little breathing time was asked
for, and it was granted with a ready compliance, which
showed the resources of the applicants were to be de-
pended upon, although not immediately available.
One of the city division, it is said, was " hit, and
gone," but eventually with him things may not be quite
so had as rumour paints them.
Very little betting came under notice until late in the
afternoon. For the Cesarewitch. King Pepin and Joe
Miller were backed in good quarters at improved prices,
and the outlay on Nancy and Garforth was something
considerable. 20 to 1 was taken freely about the former,
and 20 to 1 about the latter ; the last bets booked were
20 to 1 to 501. about each. Some small investments
were made on Nervous at 20 and 25 to 1, and on Cari-
boo at 25 and 30 to 1. Numerous offers to back Wea-
thergage, but the odds wanted were not obtainable.
CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES.-20 to 1 was taken freely
about Hatchet, 1,000 to 50 about Seahorse, 1,000 to 40
about The General, and 30 to 1 to 100/. about The De-
formed. Nothing done about the favourite.
THE DERBY.-13 to 2 and 7 to 1 taken about Auto-
crat, 1,000 to 50 Hesse Cassel, 1,000 to 40 Marley Hill,
and 500 to 25 twice about King Tom—odds which were
afterwards offered.—Closing prices :
CESAREWITCH STAKES.

There has been one fatal case at South Shields this
morning. A little boy, aged six years, was taken out of
St. Stephen's Church last evening, during divine service,
and died during the night. A seaman belonging to the
Arnagis, of Harwich, died after 14 hours' illness, in the
vessel, in South Shields harbour, on Saturday night ; his
name is Jonathan Lord. Another seaman was ill, but
he has recovered. The vessel was brought down from
Newcastle. Under the Common Lodging-house Act,
the inspector in South Shields has reduced the inmates
one-half in those he thought thoroughly clean. He
closed two others. The process of washing the back
lanes and alleys with thousands of tons of salt water
from the Tyne is being proceeded with ; a large force of
men are engaged with the river engine for the purpose.
About a score of men are also engaged whitewashing.
I am happy to say that the poor people are heartily as-
sisting them.

LIVERPOOL.
The Liverpool Albion says the several cases of cholera
which have occurred at the German " Emigrant's Home,"
Moorfields, have caused some uneasiness to be manifested
in the populous district in which it is situated. An in-
spection made by ourselves on Saturday night enables us
to assure the public that there is no cause for fear, as
far as the arrangements and condition of the Home are
concerned. No cases of cholera have occurred since
those reported to the health committee, and it will be
remembered, the sufferers in both instances had just
arrived from Hamburg, where they were attacked by the
disease. The health of the town is in an unusually
satisfactory condition ; the number of deaths registered
during the past fortnight being less than has been known
in a similar period for some time past. Between two
and three hundred German emigrants are expected to
arrive at the Home, in Moorfields, during the week.
