BEDLINGTON.

It may be remembered that much alarm was created in
this town on the re-appearance of cholera in the haunts
in which it first broke out, and which it chiefly ravaged in
its former visitation. The houses in Bedlington are de-
scribed as excessively damp from the want of drainage.
The ground adjacent to the houses, as well as that of
the roads and footways, appears to be unusually moist,
and the privies, where they exist, are in a most abomi-
nable condition. This town is in the Morpeth district,
and the Public Health Act was applied to it at the
same time as to Morpeth. In Morpeth the provisions
of the act had been promptly and ably applied on the
plan of carrying a constant supply of soft spring water
into every cottage, without the intervention of reser-
voirs, tanks, or water-butts, with their pollutions and
expenses, of abolishing cesspools, and of substituting
universally the water-closet apparatus, drained by self-
cleansing tubular pipes, conducted in self-cleansing tu-
bular sewers. But the members elected to represent
Bedlington would not consent to the commencement of
any works until they saw the effect of the new works
at Morpeth. At last, however, they have decided on
the adoption of similar works, but these cannot be begun
until next spring, and of course their means of prepara-
tion against the impending danger cannot be expected to
be so forward and efficient as at Morpeth. In the course
of examination of plans for combined and permanent
works of drainage, sewage and water supply, Mr. Aus-
tin, the consulting engineer of the General Board of
Health, has recently visited the towns of Darlington,
Hull, and Castleford, and during his inquiries inspected
some of the worst places in these towns.

Aug. 29.—Very dense fog, with light wind from N.E.,
which cleared at noon sufficiently to obtain a meridian
altitude, and found that we had been set since yesterday
south 12 miles, Cape Dalhousie distant S.W. (true) 3
miles ; the fog enveloped us again while standing off
shore, when we ran into a narrow channel, having but
3l fathoms on either side, which compelled us to bear up
est. This carried us into deep water in about 15 minutes.
In the course of the afternoon we fell in with the heavy
drift ice, composed of large floe pieces, occasionally be-
coming entangled in consequence of the thick fog,
although there was much open water among it.
Aug. 30.—Wind from the northward, with clear wea-
ther. Observing a mark on the beach upon the island
off Maitland Point, in Liverpool-bay, sent Mr. Sains-
bury (mate) to examine it, and to leave a notice of oar
passing. Upon his return he reported that an Esqui-
maux encampment had recently broken up, the traces
of their tents and footmarks being quite distinct. We
observed from the ship several reindeer, which were not
seen by the party on shore. In standing along the coast,
observing natives, I ran in to forward this dispatch,
trusting it might reach the Hudson's Bay Company this
year, which is probable, if they are not as great a set of
savages as we met near Point Warren. I hope to round
Cape Bathurst to-morrow. This will therefore be the
last communication which it will, in all probability, be
in my power to make to their Lordships. The tempe-
rature has hitherto been exceedingly mild, thermometer
seldom being below 32, and from the present favourable
appearance, both of the weather and state of the ice, I
have very strong hopes of getting well to the northward
ere the navigation ceases, which will be about the latter
end of next month, according to Esquirnaux report.
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient humble servant,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin,—l am desired by the directors to inform you,
that in consequence of a slip upon this line of railway,
near Balcombe, the trains will be passed on a single line
for the next few days ; but this will be done with perfect
safety, with a delay of a few minutes only, and without
any necessity for passengers leaving their seats.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
SAMUEL SLIGHT, for the Secretary.

REPRESENTATION OP SALISBURY. Major-General
Bulkeley, of New Hall, Wilts, and Minstead Lodge,
New Forest, has been solicited to stand for Salisbury, in
the room of Mr. C. Baring Wall. The general has
very considerable personal influence there.
THE CONVICT CAROLINE SHERWOOD.—This wretched
woman remained in such a state of excitement for some
time after her sentence of death was commuted to trans-
portation for life, that the surgeon of the prison found it
necessary to order nourishment to be given to her be-
yond the ordinary prison diet, in order to keep up her
strength ; and we understand that she still receives
more than the prison allowance. The governor, in re-
ply to a question from Mr. John Ellman, said the only
notice that he had received from the Home Office was a
respite. The chairman thought it would be advisable
for the visiting justices to send to the Secretary of
State to know what should be done with her.

Margaret Mullen was brought up in custody

dren, under the circumstances which
appear
Constable 37 B deposed that, being on duty
evidence.
Trinity-
street, on Sunday last, between 2 and 3 o'clock,in he was
informed that six children had been poisoned in the house
No. 1, St. Andrew-street. Proceeding immediately to
the house, he found the children, whose name
Edward, Charlotte, and George Graham, Edward
were
Reilly, John M'Dermott, and M. M'Dermott,
s
in bed and some on the floor, but all retching they
.
were immediately conveyed by him to Mercer's
Hospi-
tal, where they were put under the treatment of Dr.
Butcher and the resident apothecary. Police-constable
174 B deposed that, being called on by 37 B, he arrested
the prisoner on the lobby of the house. She appeared
somewhat excited ; she stated she had given the chil-
dren the contents of a bottle of sugar of lead, for the
purpose of making them merry, telling them that it
was whisky. One of the children, however said , it was
not whisky, The prisoner, having been duly cautioned,
made a statement similar to that mentioned, by 174 B,
adding that the " medicine" had been given to her in an
hospital, but that her only motive in giving it to the
children was to make merry. The children were, at the
time when the poison was administered, playing together
in an empty room of the house. In the absence of Dr.
Butcher and the resident apothecarof the hospital, the
prisoner was remanded until Tuesday.--Nohern Daily

DARLINGTON.

In this town active measures were found to have been
adopted by the local board in clearing away nuisances,
and in cleansing and lime whiting. Partial works of
public drainage have been carried out. The plans for
complete works are in progress ; during their execu-
tion it is hoped that better arrangements will be
made for the general supply of water, in order that
the middens and cesspools may be permanently re•
moved. In the meantime, the town appears to have
been placed in a condition as satifactory as pre-
sent circumstances will allow. The authorities ex-
perienced a difficulty in dealing with the nuisance of pigs
kept in close parts of the town, and suggested that in
any future amendment of the act it should be made
unlawful to keep pigs at all within a prescribed distance
of any dwelling-house. It has been already stated that
the local authorities have decided on exercising the
powers they possess under the orders of the General
Board of Health, for the banishment of pigs from the
town. The deaths recorded from cholera and diarrhoea
prove that the epidemic influence has been actively pre-
sent in Darlington, but the energetic measures adopted
have apparently kept the pestilence in check.

NOTICE.

THE FIRST NEW NOVEL PUBLISHED ON MR. BENTLEY'S NEW PLAN.
This day is published in 2 vols., post Bvo., price 75., neatly bound
VirARGARET ; or, PREJUDICE AT HOME
&VAL AND ITS VICTIMS.

" The story of Margaret' must touch the hearts and consciences
of men, if their religion be anything more than a pretence. How
power'ully the story is told, how boldly and skilfully the characters
are drawn, how true its moral, and how severe its satire, no adequate
conception can be formed, except by reading it. A more searching
exposure and vigorous denunciation of the social vices of the age we
have never read, nor a narrative of mere varied end exciting adven-
ture."— Morning Post.

" This is the first novel published by Mr. Bentley on his new sys-
tem ; and as it inaugurates a change of the utmost importance to the
rublic, we gladly avail ourselves o: the opportunity to express our
high sense of the motives which have induced Mr. Bentley to attempt
so bold an enterprise. We thank him for the increased stores of in-
tellectual entertainment with which, through his liberality and public
spirit, our English homes will now be enlivened and improved."—
Morning Post.
"Mr. Bentley has made one of the most important and significant
announcements which have appeared in the bterary world for many
years past. Good and wholesome literature will now be placed
really and truly immediately within the reach of the great body of
readers, without waiting for .ye,ars until standard works are repro-
duced at a, lower price, whelt the interest and novelty have in a
great meniture passed away. The measure, we have said, is cer-
tainly bold ;—the risk to the publisher greatly increased ; but we feel
confident tliat the public will not be slow to appreciate the advan-
tages which the enterprise and intelligence of Mr. Ben ley have thus
placed within their reach."—Morniirs Herold.

during the last 20 years has equalled, if indeed it has not surpassed,
that of any of his contemporaries, and we know of no man to whose

GERMANY.

The National Gazette of Berlin states that though
the Prussian officers employed as instructors in the
Turkish army have not been recalled, the recall
will take place in the event of hostilities between
Russia and Turkey.
According to the last resolutions adopted by the
Germanic Diet, the strength of the Federal army is
fixed at 456,000 men, exclusive of the reserve.
_ From the Voss Gazette of Berlin we learn that

the reduction of the Austrian army is not equally
extended to all the corps of which it is composed.
That commanded by Field-Marshal Radetzky, the
Austrian garrisons in the German fortresses, as
also the 9th and 10th corps, are not, for the pre-
sent, subjected to any reduction ; but the measure
applies to the troops of several provinces bordering
on Turkey, as also to the frontier regiments, and
to the 10th and 11th corps scattered in Hungary.
The German Journal of Frankfort, under date
of Berlin, 15th, says :—" The relations between
the Emperor of Russia and the Prince of Prussia
are no longer what they were. A tone of cold
ceremony has taken the place of former cordiality.
On the very evening, when the Czar took leave of
the Royal family to return to St. Petersburg, the
Prince of Prussia went to Berlin with his son,
Prince Frederick William, to see the new opera,
which certainly would not have happened in for-
mer years."

WAGES MOVEMENT.

THE COTTON-SPINNERS' STRIKE AT MAN-

CHESTER.

According to the present aspect of the turn-out, there
does not appear to be the slightest possibility of a settle-
ment of the dispute between the masters and the men for
some time to come. Yesterday a large body of the turn-
outs was held in the Marsh, an immense plot of land,
about a mile from the town. It was calculated that, at
various parts of the day, the number present would range
from 10,000 to 15,000. The meeting was rather a gene-
ral gathering of the hands than one convened for any
special object. No formal resolutions were passed,
but the meeting was addressed during the day by seve-
ral speakers, who urged upon all present the desira-
bility of union and firmness, and earnestly called upon
them to endure any amount of pecuniary and physical
suffering, rather than submit to what they designated
the tyrannical and despotic requirements of the employ-
ers. The matter is beginning to be viewed by all classes
in Preston, as one of the most serious concern, and the
gloomiest apprehensions are entertained as to the conse-
quences, by tradesmen, shopkeepers, and others vitally
interested. It appears that so indignant are the master 4
at the violent language used towards them by the opera-
tives at their various public meetings, that they will
not only not consent to re-open their mills until the
men have withdrawn themselves from the union, but,
further, that trade being now so gloomy, they are con-
templating keeping them closed for at least several weeks,

THE CHICORY TRADE.-IN RE METCALFE.

This was a dividend meeting under the estate of this
bankrupt, described as a merchant, in Fenchurch-street,
who had been extensively engaged in the "chicory trade,"
and the great losses on the estate appear on the chicory
root between Sept. 1851 and Nov. 1852, through the
Treasury notice, the bankrupt stating his losses on that
account alone at 5,2631. From the accounts filed by
Messrs. Robinson and Knowles, it appears that the
debit side amounts to 2,8571., and the- property is esti-
mated at 1,4001. By the bankrupt's previous state-
ment it appears that he embarked a capital of 1,1901.
The amount of the dividend will be officially declared in
due course.

TEE PENNY RECEIPT STAMP AND THE

POST OFFICE.

The following instructions have been issued by the
Postmaster-General to all postmasters issuinr and pay-
ing money-orders :

"To prevent all doubt as to whether the payee of a
Post-office money order or otherwise will, after the 10th
inst., be required to attach a receipt stamp to his
acknowledgment of payment, postmasters are informed
that this will NOT be required."

Since the commencement of the operation of the new
act, very much inconvenience has been felt at the Post
office, in consequence of persons having, to a very large
extent, affixed the receipt stamps to letters weighing
under half an ounce. The fact is, that the receipt stamps
will not do for postage stamps, nor postage stamps for
receipt stamps. One of the many reasons for this course
is, that postage stamps, the produce of which is part of
the Post-office revenue, cannot be used for receipts, the
duties on which are part of the revenue of the Stamps
department. The Secretary to the Treasury Board,
Mr. Keogh, M.P., has made this fact the subject of a
special notice, in addition to which he says :
"Stamps on paper similar to those now in use, and
adhesive stamps are provided, the latter differing in de-
sign and colour from the postage stamps, and these
alone can be used for receipts. If a postage stamp were
affixed to a receipt, the document would be, in point of
law, wholly unstamped, and would expose the person
giving it to a penalty. Under the same erroneous view
of the matter, it might be supposed that an adhesive re-
ceipt
stamp might be used for letters in payment of
postage, but any such letter would be charged double
postage, as hundreds have been during the last few days.
The public should remember that compliance with these
regulations is imperative."

ASTLEY'S THEATRE.—Miss Kate Cooke has at length
made her entree before a London audience, and created
a great sensation ; her riding is admirable, and manage-
ment of the horse perfect; she was unanimously called
twice, a few nights ago, into the arena, at the conclu-
sion of her performance, to receive the congratulations
of the audience. The miik-white charger she rides is a
beautiful animal, trained by Mr. William Cooke. There
is to be no after-piece ; after the Burlesque Spectacle the
entertainments are to be entirely equestrian, to give full
scope to the talent of the company.

STRANGE OCCURRENCE AT THE VICEREGAL LODGE.:—
Captain Winter, accompanied by severalt other aides-de-
camp of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, appeared.
fol-
lowing
Yesterday at Capel-street. office, and tendered inform,
ivas against the Rev. Henry Stannard under the
4.,strape circumstances.iCaptain Winter informed
the bench that between eleven and twelve o'clock on the
Preceding night, while the Lord Lieutenant and the
euuntese of St. Germans were sitting in one of the
aPartments of the Viceregal Lodge, a gentleman, to
ith:cir great surprise, walked into the room from an ad-
11°'rling chamber, and sat down upon a chair without the
him to in the world. His Excellency perceiving
'l,lll to be a stranger, inquired the object of his visit, to
which he replied very coolly that he had effectd an en-
,v:;4,e by the front door, and wished for an ienterview
eQer his Excellency. It soon became evident, how-
that the intruder was a person of unsound mind,
°ugh not what is termed a dangerous lunatic,
and accordingly an aide-de-camp was called in, and
On was handed over to the custody of the police.
"n further inquiry, it appeared that the name of the
lkB°ll who acted in this strange manner is the Rev.
ekurY Stannard, and he is a clergyman of the Estab-
t,l, h7d Church. It is supposed that he resides in Clon-
Af? aving sent a message to his wife in that locality.
poi,er being taken into custody, he was brought to the
ai;uue station at Bridewell-lane, where he was locked up
~..er!ight, and in the morning about 8 o'clock he man-
Zntf_to.effect his escape from the station house. Cap-
,Winter stated that his Excellency did not wish any
iZT"_II proceedings to be adopted towards the unfortu-
gentleman. He merely desired that measures should
in f‘uaken to prevent the repetition of a similar intrusion

SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market was seasonably well supplied with
beasts as to number, but their general quality was inferior.
For all kinds the demand ruled exceedingly heavy, at
barely Monday's decline in the quotations. The supply
of sheep was limited, yet the sale for that description of
stock was very dull, at unaltered currencies. The top
figure for the best old Downs was 5.5. per 81bs. Calves
were in full average supply, and heavy request, at barely
late rates. In pigs next to nothing was doing.
Mitch cows were dull, at from 151. to 191. each, including
their small calf.

SMITHFIELD.
To-day's market was seasonably well supplied with
beasts as to number, but their general quality was inferior.
For all kinds the demand ruled exceedingly heavy, at
barely Monday's decline in the quotations. The supply
of sheep was limited, yet the sale for that description of
stock was very dull, at unaltered currencies. The top
figure for the best old Downs was 53. per 81bs. Calves
were in full average supply, and heavy request, at barely
late rates. In pigs next to nothing was doing.
Milch cows were dull, at from 151. to 19/. each, including
their small calf.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.)

IN RE J. HEATH.

This bankrupt was described as of Cheshunt, Bucks,
chemist and druggist, and to-day was appointed for his
last examination.

The balance sheet, from December, 1852, to Septem-
ber, 1353, shows—Debtor to creditors, unsecured, 8201.
195.; to ditto holding mortgage, 4801. Creditor—By
good debts, 231.; property given up, 152/. ; mortgaged
property, 6001. From the statement of Mr. Beard (from
Mr. Buchanan's) it appeared that the general property
had realised more than the bankrupt had estimated it
at, and that the property mortgaged would possibly
leave a surplus over the claims. He (Mr. Beard) there-
fore, on the behalf of the assignees, consented to the
bankrupt passing his last examination.

CASTLEFORD.

The condition of the small town of Castleford was
found in the strong contrast to these larger places.
The local board, apparently satisfied that nothing could
be done in the way of improvement until their proposed
plan of drainage had been carried out, had taken no
steps whatever under the regulations of the general board.
Foul middens, dung heaps, and collections of composing
' refuse abounded in all parts of the town, and the liquid
filth and house refuse stagnated on the neglected surfaces
of yards and streets. At a meeting of the local board,
this dangerous condition of the town having been
strongly urged by Mr. Austin, immediate instructions
were given to their officers to take the earliest and fullest
measures for the removal of all nuisances with proper
precautions, and for placing the town in as good a sani-
tary state as circumstances would permit, pending the
execution of the proposed works of improvement under
the Public Health Act. At the last visitation of cholera,
Hull is reported to have suffered the most severely of any
town. Castloford was next on the list.

NOTICE.

THE FIRST NEW NOVEL PUBLISHED ON MR. BENTLEY'S NEW PLAN.
This day is published in 2 vols., post Bvo., price 75., neatly bound
11ARGA.RET ; or, PREJUDICE AT HOME
AND ITS VICTIMS.

" The story of Margaret' must touch the hearts and consciences
of men, if their religion be anything more than a pretence. How
powerfully the story is told, how boldly and skilfully the characters
are drawn, how true its moral, and how severe its satire, no adequate
conception can be formed, except by reading it. A more searching
exposure and vigorous denunciation of the social vices of the age we
have never read, nor a narrative of more varied and exciting adven-
ture."— lion-ling Post.
" This is the first novel published by Mr. Bentley on his new sys-
tem ; and as it inaugurates a change of the utmost importance to the
rubdc, we gladly avail ourselves of the opportunity to express our
high sense of the motives which have induced Mr. Bentley to attempt
so bold an enterprise. We thank him for the increased stores of in-
tellectual entertainment with which, through his liberally aad public
spirit. our English homes will now be enlivened and improved."—
Morning Post.
" Mr. Bentley has made one of the most important and significant
announcements which have appeared hi the literary world fir many
years past. Good and wholesome literature will now be placed
really and truly intmediate!y- within the reach of the great body of
readers, without waiting for years until standard works are repro-
duced at a lower price, when the interest and novelty have in a
great measure passed away. The measure, we have said, is cer-
tainly bold ;—the risk to the publisher greatly increased ; but we feel
confident that the public will not be slow to appreciate the advan-
tages which the enterprise and intelligence of Mr. Bentley have thus
placed within their reach."—Morning Herald.
*** The next work (to be published with the Magazines at the
end of this month) will be ;

SHERIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before R. Gurney, Esq.)
MOORE V. BEARD.
HARD SWEARING.—The plaintiff in this action is a
tailor, and defendant is a journeyman machinist, and
the sum claimed was 1/. 10s., for goods sold. The case
was partly heard yesterday, when Mr. Bean, the agent,
swore positively that the defendant admitted the debt to
be due, and promised payment. Defendant swore that
he never made any such adinission or promise to pay.
His Honour thereupon directed the attendance of the
plaintiff in person, and he was now examined, fully
corroborating the evidence of the witness.
The defendant volunteered a statement, which his
Honour said was so much at variance with his evidence
yesterday that it could not be relied on, and should order
payment within seven days.
Plaintiff's solicitor applied for extra costs for the ad-
journment.

His Honour said he could not allow them, as the ad-
journment had been at the request of the plaintiff's
solicitor.

The solicitor said the object was to show that the wi
ness left the court without a stigma.
