AN EASY-GOING OVERSEER.

On going through the list for St. Mary Pomert )y, the
Revising Barrister inquired of the overseer how it was
that he had to strike out so many names from Oki) list.
The overseer said they were the names of perkums who
had left their occupations.

The Revising Barrister— It seems to me that :you have
merely taken the old list of last year, and so nt it in.
Did you make any inquiries as to whether th, e parties
still retained the same qualification before you made out
the list ?

The overseer said he did not know they . were not
there, but he had not gone to the houses to se( ).
On the list being concluded,
The Revising Barrister said—The oversr, er of St.
Mary Pomeroy admits that the list that he b as sent in
is but a copy of last year's register ; that he has never
taken the trouble to go round to tie pail ties to see
whether they were in the same occupation n r not, but
puts them down without inquiry, and for which he
charges 2/. 2s. I shall allow him five shillin gs.

HULL.

SEPT. 23.—The Asiatic cholera has made its appear-
ance in this town, and four or five cases of des,th from it
are now announced. The first of these, it seems, occurred
some time ago, and was that of the master of a South
American vessel, lying in our docks. Other caa es fol-
lowed at intervals of several days ; but in order, we sup-
pose, not to create alarm in the town, the knowledge of
them was kept as secret as possible. On the 12th ins,t. a
boy died in a cellar in a part of the town called Trippett-
street, and yesterday a second death (that of a woman)
from the same cause, occurred in the same cellar. Another
woman, who was also attacked there, recovered. The
case of this cellar is a most frightful one. It is described
as being a place scarcely 10 feet square, for the most
part below the surface of the ground, and so dark that
iu broad daylight the way into it is only to be found by
means of a candle. It was in a most filthy condition,
wholly undrained, and in a district, too, the drainage of
which is altogether very incomplete. In this den five
persons were sleeping in one bed ; and it is therefore
not difficuit to account for the cholera making its ap-
pearance there. Moreover, it is stated that the boy on
the day previous to his death had been feasting off fruit,
of which an immense quantity, much of it in a damaged
state, arrives here from the Continent. He had more-
over been ill six or eight hours before medical assistance
was procured ; and, when that assistance was obtained,
he was beyond recovery, in a state of collapse. An-
nother case', of cholera occurred in Manor-street—a
place inhabited almost wholly by prostitutes of the
lowest class and thieves. These several cases have come
under the notice of the sanitary committee of our local
board of health, and they have been very active in pre-
paring against outbreak of the epidemic. Indeed, the
town is altogether in a much better sanitary state now
than it was in 1849, at the last visitation of the cholera,
when it suffered frightfut:y from the ravages of the di-
sease. A joint committee has teen formed of the poor-law
guardians and the members of the board of health, and this
committee has made such arrangemetZ!,B that, in case cho-
lera should make its appearance in any district or districts,
house-to-house visitations would at once be made, and all
.
who are acquainted with the matter know how effective
this has always been in the virulence of the .disease-
Gully-holes also are being trapped, and chloride of lime
poured into them. Lodging-houses and houses in sn,.l-
- districts are being lime-washed, lime is thrown
into the open sewers of the town, and chloride of lime
put into the street watering-carts. In fact every pre-
caution that science can suggest is being adopted. The
result is somewhat gratifying, as the medical men de-
clare that the town has rarely been in so healthy a state
as it is at present.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

A telegraphic dispatch from Warsaw announces
that the Emperor of Russia will arrive at Olmutz
on the 24th, accompanied by the Grand Duke (the
heir to the throne), the Grand Duke Nicholas,
Prince Paskiewitsch, Count Orloff, Generals
Lieven, Adlerberg, Grumwald, Count de Nessel-
rode, Baron de Meyendorff, and Baron Mobren-
beim, Secretary of Embassy. The Prince of
Prussia is expected at the camp on the 23d.
The private telegraphic despatch from Constan-
tinople of the 12th, via Trieste, announcing the al-
ternative proposed to the Sultan by the Ulemas, of
abdication or war, does not appear to be credited
at the Ottoman Embassy in Paris ; at all events
no official account of the kind has been received.
It -is true that the excitement prevailing at Con-
stantinople, where the war fever is rapidly gaining
those who were heretofore most forbearing and
pacific, would render some such demonstration on
the part of the fanatic party not improbable sooner
or later. The Sultan has a rival in his brother,
and there is no doubt a good deal of intrigue going
on. The rumour of the probability of the English
fleet entering the Dardanelles was circulated in
Paris yesterday afternoon.
The following telegraphic despatches have also
been received :—" Vienna, Sept. 22.—At the reite-
rated request of Lord Stratford de Redcliffe, new
conferences have taken "dice on the propriety and
opportuneness of a collective proceeding, and it
has been decided that the representatives of the
Great Powers at Constantinople shall declare that
the Note of Vienna does not involve for the sove-
reignty of the Sultan the dangers which the Porte
appears to see in it. No other collective step will
be taken."

DURHAM.

THURSDAY.-Of the only two cases of cholera remain-
ing in this city last night, one has terminated fatally in
the workhouse, to which place he had been removed in
order to prevent contagion. The other, lam happy to
state, is likely to recover. In each case the party
entered this city from Newcastle, with evident symptoms
of the disease upon them ; and in two of the cases, with
ordinary prudence on the part of the attacked, they
might have been convalescent. It is satisfactory to add
that, although these cases terminated fatally in widely
different parts of the city, there is no instance of the
disease having been communicated to others. A case
has occurred at a village called Sheldon, situated a few
miles from here. Energetic measures are still being
adopted to prevent or mitigate any attack of the epidemic;
domiciliory visits, the removal of nuisances, whitewash-
ing, distribution of quick and chloride of lime, and flush-
ings of the gutters of the streets, lanes, and yards, con-
tinuing daily.

DETERMINED SUICIDE BY ARSENIC.-011 Thursday Mr.
W. Payne held an inquest at the Ward School-room,
Black Raven-court, Tower-street, on the body of Wil-
liam Curle, aged 45, who committed suicide under the
following circumstances. It appeared from the evidence
that the deceased and his wife lived at No. 16, Mincing-
lane, the latter taking care of chambers as housekeeper.
In consequence of some disagreement between the de-
ceased and his wife, they had for the last two years oc-
cupied separate apartments. On Tuesday night the de-
ceased came home at about nine o'clock, and taking a
glass of water with him, immediately went to bed. As
he was not heard stirring for some time after his usual
hour—that was about six o'clock—at half past eight
o'clock his wife and the servant girl went and opened his
room door, when they were horrified at finding him dead
on the floor. A surgeon was sent for, who immediately
attended, but he declared that life had been extinct for
some time. It seemed that the deceased was much ad-
dicted to drinking, and had often remarked when he
came home that that would be the last time, but, as this
observation was frequently repeated, no notice was taken
of it. Mr. Hughes, a surgeon, of Leadenhall-street, on
entering the room, found the deceased dead, and on the
drawers a tumbler, in which were the remains of some
white liquid, and beside it a paper packet, containing
about six ounces of white powder, the greater portion
of which consisted of arsenic. The liquid in the glass
was also strongly impregnated with arsenic. The paper
in which it was contained was marked with the word
ioi
Poison." Thispacket of arsenic must have been n his
possession fora considerable time, as it was perfectly white,
whereas under the new act regulating the sale of arsenic,
if it had been recently purchased, it would have borne
some particular distinguishing colour. The jury re-
turned a verdict of temporary insanity.
POST-OFFICE NOTICE.---On and after the Ist October
next, the postage upon letters addressed to St. Thomas,
or any Dutch colony in the West Indies, may .be either
paid in advance, or the letters may be posted unpaid, at

AUSTRIA.

A reduction of the army has been resolved upon.
On the Ist of October the companies of infantry
are to be reduced, some from 180 to 120 men, and
others from 120 to 100 men. The regiments from
the military frontier, now stationed in Italy, have
been ordered back w their cantonments. These
measures will effect a saving of from 15,000,000 to
16,000,000 florins. _ _

The 'Duke of Cambridge has arrived at Olmutz.
The greatest enthusiasm prevails at Vienna. The
crown of St. Stephen, escorted by a large number
of Hungarian magnates, has reached the capital.
The escort is headed by the Archduke Albert.
The Emperor is expected to return from Olmutz
in the course of the day to receive the crown and
the deputation.
A letter from Berlin, of the 19th, states that
M. de Budberg, the Russian ambassador, had

AN EASY-GOING OVERSEER.

On going through the list for St. Mary Pomeroy, the
Revising Barrister inquired of the overseer how it was
that he had to strike out so many names from the list.
The overseer said they were the names of persons who
had left their occupations.

The Revising Barrister— It seems to me that you have
merely taken the old list of last year, and sent it in.
Did you make any inquiries as to whether the parties
still retained the same qualification before you made out
the list ?

The overseer said he did not know they were not
there, but he had not gone to the houses to see.
On the list being concluded,

The Revising Barrister said—The overseer of St.
Mary Pomeroy admits that the list that he has sent in
is but a copy of last year's register ; that he has never
taken the trouble to go round to the parties to see
whether they were in the same occupation or not, but
puts them down without inquiry, and for which he
charges 2/. 2s. I shall allow him five shillings.

RAWMARSH (YORKSHIRE).

A fatal case of cholera occurred in this village, which
is chiefly inhabited by colliers, on Wednesday morning.
It was a respectable woman, named Horton. She was
attacked on Monday morning, and gradually became
worse. On Tuesday unmistakeable symptoms of cholera
manifested themselves, and she died, as above stated, on
Wednesday morning. The village is situate about two
miles from Rotherham, and its sanitary condition until
recently has been very inefficient. From its contiguity
to Rotherham considerable alarm has been felt from
this outbreak, and the utmost efforts are being made
to put the town and district in a sanitary condition.
At the last visitations of the epidemic, Rotherham and
the neighbourhood was but ill-prepared, as there
were few sewers in the town, and the arrangements
generally were very imperfect. The consequence was
that the ravages were much greater in proportion to the
population than in the neighbouring town of Sheffield.
This state of things now no longer exists. A board of
health has since been established, which is now making
great exertions to improve the sanitary condition of the
town and district by the construction of sewers, the
prompt removal of nuisances, and the provision of a
plentiful supply of water. Steps have also been taken
to secure the closing of the churchyard, which is situate
in the very centre of the town, and has for years proved
a hot-bed of fever from its over-crowded state. By
these and other sanitary measures it is hoped to avert,
as far as possible, the devastations of this fatal epidemic.
As yet no cases have been reported, except the one
above named, though diarrhoea is prevalent in the
neighbourhood.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

SPORTING NOTES.—No. CCCLXIII.
Epsom, with its winter meeting will, if the weather
continues fine, gladden the hearts of many of the metro-
politan turfites, who are tired of inactivity, with a day's
good sport to-morrow. The movements of those inte-
rested in the result would seem to infer that the race for
the Free Handicap Steeple Chase, which is over the usual
steeplechase course will be confined to the CARDINAL GELD-
ING, QUICKSTEP, the Screw, and Half-and-Half--those
being the only horses which have been backed by those in
the secret ; consequently we may expect to see them pass
the post in something like the order I have placed them.
The Free Handicap Hurdle Race is booked as being
pretty nearly a certainty for GULNARE ; Lady Bibina and
Odiham, being supported, however, with tolerable
spirit.
The latest betting prices Quickstep at 2 to 1, the
Cardinal Gelding at 3 to 1, and the Screw at 4 to 1 for
the steeple chase ; Gulnare at 5 to 2, Lady Bibina at 7
to 2, and Odiham at 4to 1 for the hurdle race. Good
odds against any other in either race.

OUNDLE STEEPLE CHASE.
The handicap for this race is considered a very indif-
ferent one ; and Mr. Osborne's Abd-el-Kader, Mr.
Hursley's Talisman, and Mr. Hudson's Poll were de-
clared non-starters almost as soon as the handicap was
published.

tyports the demand of the holders of coupons to
L.vce them entirely converted into 3 per Cent. De-
jezred Stock, instead of remaining reduced one-
'Ralf as they have been. The Heraldo says that
the claim is not only just in itself, but, if granted,
-would open the principal money-markets of Europe
to Spanish stock, and would enable the Govern-
!lent to convert great part of its floating debt,
"Which is very burdensome, into permanenestock.

CHRIST'S COLLEGE.

The Rev. J. B. Travers, M.A., has been elected Go-

You MUST GO FROM HOME TO LEARN TUE NEWS.—
The Paris Univers, which, although it calls itself, and is
recognised as an organ of the clergy, occasionally plunges
rather deeply into mandane matters, and, even in religi-
ons affairs, represents the Church belligerent rather than
those simple professors of the Christian creed, who
preach peace and forbearance, has a long article on the
state of things in the east, in which it attributes aggres-
sive intentions to Protestant England, and endeavours
to excite distrust and suspicion in the minds of the people
of France, and those of Catholic populations generally.
The Univers has discovered that whilst the English are
pretending to dread invasion, and to be arming for self-
defence, they are in reality preparing to take possession
of Egypt, and blinding the French Government to their
designs by affecting terror for themselves, and making
the French believe that they think of nothing but the
deans of rendering themselves secure against aggression.
LEECRES.—M. Pratil, a medical man, of Tarbes, has
just bequeathed by will 25,000 fr. as a prize to such per-
son as shall discover a cure for the malady with which
leeches are attacked each year, and which carries off
about a third of their number.
