Note.—The dates set forth in this table arc to be under-
stood as tho actual dates the river was freed from or
closed thereby. The addition of * indicates the opening or
elbsing of the river on the evening of the previous day.l
Where in the same year there aro two dates for the opening
(as in the year 1733, the.6th and 14th of April), it is to be
reckoned that the ice commenced moving on the 6th, but be-
came stationary again, and at length moved away on the 14th
of April. Of such there aro only two instances. If there aro
two dates for the closing of the river by ice (as iu 1730, the
31st of October, and the 9th of November), it is t be under-
stood that the ice set on the 31st of October, went away
again, and at length set fast the second time ou tho 9th of
November. This has taken place nine times in all, but ill

The president has directed special attention to the
supply of water in tLe several localities ; the sonrce of supply, whether filtered or not before supply ; and when - two companies supply in one district the inspector is to
state whether the disease is more prevalent in one dis-
trict than the other, having due regard to similar classes
of dwellings. Inquiry will also be made into the state
of the sewers.
The inspector is also to report whether in those plaees
which were the seats of disease in former years, the epi-
demic has appealed in a less virulent form where drain-
age and general improvements have been carried out.
House-to-house visitation is strongly recommended,
and disinfectants are to be used when necessary.
It is extremely satisfactory to find the local authorities
have exhibited the geatest willingness to adopt any sug-
gestions from the General Board of Health. •
After the inquiry is concluded, each inspector will
make a report on the district assigned to him. He will
state the powers given to local authorities, and the de-
fective state of those powers (if any), that the subject may
undergo the consideration of the Legislature next session;
and in the meantime, the inspectors send in daily reports
to the board, which are noted by the president and re-
turned to the inspectors early each morning before thr,
proceed to their inquiry. Inspectors are also appointed
to visit the shipping in the river, and report thereon.
ST. PANCRASS.—Yesterday the Sanitary Board of St.
Pancras met in the Vestry-hall, Bing's-road, Camden-
town. Mr. Wilsthore, the surgeon for the south-western
district of the parish, reported that since Friday he had
130 cases of diarrhoea, and 4 of cholera, without orders, and
100 whom he had attended with an order from the parish.
The epidemic was frightfully on the increase, and he felt
it necessary to have assistance. Similar reports were
made by the other district surgeons. Mr. Godden moved,
and Mr. Howes seconded, a motion, to the effect thakan
additional surgeon be appointed for a month. After some
further remarks, it was-agreed that the vaccinators of
.the parish be appointed to assist the surgeons during the
prevalence of cholera and diarrhosa. , •
WKSTBEINEITER.-011 Wednesday and Thursday last tne
district comprising Marshall-street, Cambridge-street,Ed-
ward-street, Poland-street, Peter-street, Stc., was visited
with an extraordinary violent outbreak of cholera. About
a fortnight previous several fatal cases had occurred in
one house in Marshall-street, and subsequently there had
been a few reports of cases, but on Wednesday and Thurs-
day about 40 persons were affected, the majority of
whom were carried off in the course of 24 hours. Oa
Friday and Saturday the attacks were reduced to below
30, but of these as many as 26 terminated fatally. Since
Sunday there has been a considerable abatement of the
disease, and every precaution has been taken by the
parochial authorities to prevent its extension.
DEPTFORD, MONDAY EVENING.--Since Friday MOM.
ing a portion of the lower part of this town, near the .
dockyard, has been the scene of a terrible visitation of
cholera. Between midnight of Thursday and this morn-
ing nearly forty hniniin beings have perished-is-one
street alone, and it was stated this afternoon that theie
are nearly twenty more hopeless cases lying in the same
street and the adjacent court. The immediate locality
of this terrible outbreak is New-street, Wellington-
street, Deptford, a long street of old houses. In many
places one common cesspool supplies the wants of several
houses, and the stagnant gutters upon each side of the
streets do the duty of sewers. Added to this, Welling- '
ton-street, out of which New-street branches, being its
the same state, nearly all its refuse water runs through
New-street before it finds its way into the Thames. In
places where houses have been pulled down, the waste
ground has been used as a depot for all sorts of filth. In
Flaggon-court, a small cul de sac turning out of Wel-
lington-street, four children in one family died in a few
hours, This court has not the slightest ventilation
backwards, and there is one common cesspool and no
sewerage.

THE HERRING FISHERIES IN THE

NORTE.

Wick, Sept. 2--The quantity of herrings brought
ashore here yesterday and to-day is only about 200 crank
which will but add about two to the general average of
the whole fleet, making the average for the whole seas
son, to the present date inclusive, 102 crane. As regards
quantity and average we are on much about a par with
those of the last twenty years. But if the whole Scotch
coast is taken into account the deficiency from the take
of last year is much greater than is generally believed.
In round numbers the decrease will be fully equal to
147,000 barrels, or fully more thali a fourth of the whole!
of last year's catch. Of course, it is expected that both
in the Wick district, and on the opposite shores of the''
Moray Firth something will yet be done to ditniri:ish
this deficiency, but at Lybsterand Helmsdale the fishing
is practically over for a season, but here not more than
400 to 500 boats will again go to sea this year. So that
we do not calculate on a material difference in the above
figures. To-day about 1,500 men are paid off, and-
nearly.lo,oool. are in circulation in Wick and Pulteney-
town, in the payment of their wages and other items.
In the Lybster district about 4,0001. will also be paid
out to-day for hired men alone.

On Thursday night about two-thirds of the Lyb star
boats were at sea, and landed yesterday morning an
average of about six emus. lielmsdale and BrJra did
pretty well yesterday and Thursday ; and to-day there
are some heavy shots at the coast stations.

We have letters from Peterhead and Fraserburgh, per

both these places the second week of September last
added 50 crane to the general average.
There has been a good deal done this week along the
Fife and Dunbar coasts. In one day 300 tons of fresh
herrings were despatched to the English markets. The
fishing of Wednesday and Thursday had, however,
shown a falling off, -and prices,.which had fallen to 10s.

Last accounts from Orkney are very unfavourable.
In the North Isles the fishing is a decided failure, not
a few boats having never

whole season.
