THE PRO-TINCES.

WILTS.—The cholera (says the Devizes Gazette) has
made its appearance in Wilts, and in a very short time
occasioned great fatality. With the nuisances which
eicif,t in some parts of the town it ib not unlikely that it
may visit Devizes. Whether it is the duty of the Turn-
pike Commissioners or the Borough Commissioners to
cause those nuisances to be removed we know not ; but
of this there can be no doubt—they are a disgrace to the
town. At Stratton St. Margaret, near Swindon, the
cholera is reported to be very virulent. Also, at Purton,
where two ladies (sisters) died after a few hours' illness.
HUDDERSFIELD.—John Sykes, a working surveyor to
the Improvement Commissioners at Huddersfield, was
seized with cholera on Thursday night, the 31st ult.,
and died on Saturday last at two o'clock in the morn-
ing, after about 48 hours of sickness. He was interred
the same day. Sykes has been in the service of the
commissioners several years. In February last he was
appointed to the office of working surveyor, at 781. per
annum.—Leeds Mercury. •

CHOLZRA IN THE HOSPITALS IN PARlS.—Cases ad-
mitted from the 24th to 30th August inclusive, 331 ;
discharged, 192 ; dead, 179. Total cases treated, 5500;
discharged, 2,217 ; died, 2,868 ; remain under treat-
ment on the 30th, 514.—Medical Tina and Gazette.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION.—The Napoleon
rooms in this exhibition have lately received a most in-
teresting addition to the already large and valuable
collection of relics belonging to Napoleon the Great.
They consist of the following costly relics taken in the
carriage immediately after the battle of Waterloo, by
Baron von Keller, the Russian officer who commanded
the party, who retained them to his death, and were
purchased by the Messrs. Tussaud lately :—An elegant
silver-gilt coffee cup and saucer, his canteen, in which
was found the sandwiches he had partaken of on the
morning of the battle ; the splendid bridle of his favourite
charger, composed of silver, most splendidly executed ;
the telescope which the Emperor had used in many of
his previous campaigns, and fated to lose on his last.
These relics cannot fail of becoming highly attractive,
being a valuable addition to this interesting collection.
UNDER RAMSEY'S BANKRUPTCY.—One of the largest
auctions is announced by Mr. Robins to take place on
Wednesday, September 20th, and following day, em-
bracing 76 houses, forming the greater portion of Elgin-
crescent and Elgin-road on the Kensington Park Estate Notting-hill. This beautiful locality is rapidly rising in
public estimation. In no district has so much been done
for the residents to conduce to their health and pleasure ;
and the present rise in the funds will no doubt tempt
capitalists to embark in the purchase of this most de-
sirable property.
MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL AGRICULTURAL SO-
CIETY.—The exhibition of this society took place on
Friday last, and was as fine a day as could be wished
for the occasion, and the exhibition took place in a field
of about four acres area, situated on the Manchester
road, between the town of Altrincham and the Altrin-
cham station of the Warrington and Stockport Railway'
The arrangement and laying out of the geld had been
of the
executed by Mr. lielsby, of Gunton, and
most judicious detcription. At the
