BEDFORD Ii;LECTION.

BEDFORD, WEDNESDAY EVENING.
The polling commenced this morning at eight o'clock,
and at the end of the first hour a majority of 13 in
favour of Mr. Trelawney appeared on the returns. The
Tory party put their forces into action, and the next
hour's return showed a majority of six for Capt. Stuart.
At 11 o'clock this was increased to 29, and at 12 o'clock
to 50. The sprit infused into the contest was most
extraordinary, considering the absence of music or
drink, and it was remarked that a greater number of
votes were polled off by 12 o'clock than had ever been
known before. Captain Stuart continued to head the
poll, and at the Anal close the numbers were:-

forming this service this vessel became exposed to
a heavy fire from the Russian frigate in the inner
harbour, which did her some damage.
The battery at the extremity of the peninsula
being most exposed to the fire of the ships was
soon silenced, and as it was directly in a line with
the town and frigates in the harbour, much damage
must have been occasioned by the shot which
passed over this battery.
A breeze springing up in the afternoon enabled
the Forte and President, the two outer ships, to
take up fresh positions somewhat nearer the low
battery.
The guns of all the ships were now directed upon
this battery, and from the Forte especially a rapid
ricochet fire was maintained, until at length the
batboy ceased firing, although the enemy were not
driven from their guns.
The ships now ceased firing, and were moved
out of range_for the night, the Virago taking the
Forte in tow, and the President and Pique hauling
off by kedges.
Although all the ships received shot in their
hulls and rigging, the Forte alone suffered 'any loss
in men. An unfortunate shot passed across her
quarter-desk, killing one man and wounding several
others. -
U. In the interval between this first attack and
the subsequent operations on the 4th of September,
several consultations were held between the French 11
rear-admiral and the captains of the two squadrons.
12. Some information having been obtained dur-
ing this interval as to the position of the batteries
not visibli from the ships, and also as to the inte-
rior of the town and the strength of the garrison,
it was considered that an attack upon the north
end of the town by a landing party would probably
meet with success, and lead to important results.
13. With a view to occupying the enemy's atten-
tion as much a 3 possible, it was determined to
adopt a simultaneous attack on a battery of five
guns placed on the low part of the peninsula, and
likewise on a round fort at its northern extremity,
at which place the marines and seamen were to
land and endeavour to get possession of the bat-
teries and the heights surrounding the town.
14. Owing to the large number of men required
for the landing party the guns of both frigates
could not be manned, and the President's guns
being lighter than the Pique's, and, therefore, re-
quiring fewer men to work them, I went on board
the ship, taking with me the remainder of the
Pique's ship's, company.
15. On the morning of September 4, the landing
party, consisting of about 350 men from each
squadron, besides officers, was placed on board the
Tirago, which vessel then lashed alongside the
Forte, the boats for the disembarkationbeing placed
on the opposite side, and the President being
taken in tow astern.
1.6. The batteries commenced firing as soon as
the ships came within range, and did considerable
damage to the masts and yards of the frigates, but
especially to the Forte's. A shot struck the Vi-
rago's deck, but, fortunately, it glanced upwards,
otherwise the havoc en her crowded deck might
have proved serious.
17. The President having been anchored about
600 yards from the Saddle Battery on the centre
of the peninsula, opened a heavy fire upon it,
notwithstanding which the enemy continued work-
ing their guns with the greatest determination,
retiring occasionally under shelter of the sloping
platform on which the guns were placed, and re-
turning again to their guns as soon as the fire from
the ship slackened in the least ; however, at length
the battery was silenced.
18. In the meantime the Forte had been placed
opposite the round fort or gorge battery, which she
speedily silenced, and thus enabled the marines and
seamen to be landed from the Virago.
19. For an account of the occurrences on shore
I must refer to the enclosed letter from Captain
Burridge.
20. The Forte, Virago, and Obligado brig
covered the re-embarkation of the landing party ;
the fire from the brig was very effective in check-
ing the advance of the enemy.
21. As soon as the embarkation had been effected,
all the ships moved out to their anchorage in the

descriptions have increased.
It would be out of place, however, to discuss here fully
the circumstances to which the decrease of mortality
may be referred, or to attempt to solve that important
question-perhaps the most important of the day-
" What is the cause ofepidemiccholera?" Is it the effused
flaky matter-from the Indian population on the delta
of the Ganges, driven about like the clouds of a leaven-
ing dust in the air and in the waters-that has repro-
duced itse4f, and has destroyed men, all ever the world,
either dwelling quietly in their houses, or encamped on
hostile battla-fields ? Is it ozone, electricity, volcanic or
any other agency ? None of the facts in the weekly
tables afford a solution of these questions. But in the
report that was prepared at this office on the epidemic
cholera of 1848-9 in England, certain conditions in which
cholera is fatal were brought to light ; and we have now
in this second epidemic an opportunity of re-examining
and testing those results.
And first, with reference to the localities in which men
live. The vast population of the metropolis is diffused
over 78,029 acres of ground, which is sub-divided into
36 districts and 135 sub-districts. The sub-districts
vary in size from 25 acres to 5,057 acres ; in population
' from .1,632 persons to 47,881 persons ; and in every
one of these distinct sections of the population deaths
from cholera occurred in 1849 and in 1854, except in
the smallest, Dulwich, where, however, one person
died of cholera in 1849.
The cause of cholera in its epidemic form was there-
fore some matter diffused over the 78,029 living acres
of which London is composed ; and no parish enjoys in
the epidemic immunity from death by cholera, much
less from the attacks either of severe cholera or of simple
diarrhea, which attend the deadlier forms of the disease.
But the fatality differed exceedingly ; for in some
sub-districts it destroyed 4,5, 6, or 7 in every 10,000; in
others it was fatal to 196, 198, 212, 217, or more in
every 10,000 of the inhabitants.
The population of London is not homogeneous • in
each sub-district the people, as the returns show, dffer
from the rest of the population in wealth, ranging from
penury to abundance, and implying great variations in
food, lodging, clothing, firing, medical aid, in density,
in the elevation of the ground on which they live over
that of the Thames, in the drainage, in the water with
which they are supplied, in the exposure to contamina-
tion, in the nuisances and churchyards which surround
them, in the temperature, moisture, electricity, and other
atmospherical conditions.
After arranging the several districts in the order of
the mortality that they suffered from cholera, in the
order of density of population, in the order of the ele-
vation of the ground, in the order of the house-rent per
head-which is one of the best gauges of the wealth of
the people that statistics furnish-it was found that the
variations of density had some connection with the mor-
tality ; that wealth and poverty exercised more in-
fluence ; that unclean water was pernicious ; and that
in dealing with large numbers and many districts there
was a certain relation between the diminution of the
mortality of cholera and the elevation of the ground
on which the people lived.
London is built, like ancient Rome, upon several
small hills, and upon low reclaimed and imperfectly
drained marsh ground, which extends from Fulham to
Westminster, and again to Poplar, on the north side
of the Thames ; and on the south side, from Battersea
to Lambeth, Southwark, Newington, Camberwell,
Bermondsey, Rotherhithe, Deptford, and Woolwich.
From the river, covering 2,245 acres at the bottom of
the great valley and this low ground, the houses rise
over undulating slopes, northwards to Hampstead-heath,.
which is 404 feet above the Thames, and southwards up
to Norwood and Sydenham.
From the new Ordnance map of London, which was
prepared at the instance of the Commission of Sewers,
Colonel Dawson, in 1850, estimated, for the Registrar-
General, the mean elevation of the 36 districts of Lon-
don ; and subsequently the elevation of the ground of the
135 sub-districts has been estimated approximately. The
population in 1851 was ascertained at the census ; the,
deaths by cholera were returned each week by the re-
gistrars ; and the following resulting facts show dis- '
tinctly the inverse relation that the mortality of cholera
bears to the elevation of the ground.
182,560 of the people of London in 1851 lived upon
sub-districts covering 2,849 acres of the marsh ground,
ranging from 3 feet below to 1 foot above the high-
water mark ; 2,693 died there of cholera in 1849, and
2,227 in 1854, or 4,920 in the two epidemics.
263,914 of the population, in sub-districts on 13,146
I acres of ground of St) feet of elevation and upwards,
lost 393 persons by cholera in 1349, and 272 in 1854,
or 670 le the two epidemics.
12,824 persons died of cholera in the two years 1849
and 18:54 on the 18,429 acres of low ground under 10
feet of elevation, out of a population of 595,119; while
in the same years, out of the more numerous population,
632,705 persons living on 21,909 acres of the higher
ground of 60 feet and upwards, only 2,9,49 persons died
of cholera, including all the deaths in thil district of St.
James's.
On the lowest ground, taking the mean of the two
epidemics, 13 in 1,000 of the population-on the highest
ground one in 1,000 of the population-were destroyed
by cholera.
At the intermediate stages of elevation was the danger
of dying by cholera intermediate ?-To solve this this im-
portant question, as regarded the epidemic of 1849, Lon-
don was first sub-divided into terraces differing 20 feet
in elevation ; and if the same course is pursued now it
is found that in the two epidemic years 15,562 persons
died of cholera on the first terrace, under 20 feet of ele-
vation ; 3,757 on the second terrace of ground, 20 and
under 40 feet high ; 2,301 on the third terrace, 40 and
under 60 feet ; 2,279 on the fourth terrace, 60 to 80 feet
high ; 392 on the fifth terrace, 80 to 100 feet ; 278 on
the higher terraces of 100 feet up to 350 feet. The popula-
tion was 850,000 on the lowest terrace, and about equal,
or 400,000, on the second, the third, and the fourth ter-
races; while it was 142,000 on the fifth and 121,000
on the higher terrace or terraces.
After correcting for the increase of population, it is
found that in 1849 the deaths by cholera in every 10,000
inhabitants were 103, 65, 45, 25, 20, and 12, on each
terrace respectively, commencing at the lowest ; while on
the same sites, in 1854, the mortality was TB, 31, 15,
29, 8, and 10. If the mean mortality is taken, the
series becomes 91, 48, 30, 27, 14, and 11 ; which cor-
responds nearly with a series calculated on the hypo-
thesis that the mortality by cholera in any two districts
is, on the large scale, inversely as their elevation, to
which a certain constant number is added.
If we divide the mean mortality on the first or
lowest terrace by 1,2, 3,4, 5, and 7 respectively, this
series is obtained, 91, 46, 30, 23, 18, 13 ; which repre-
gents closely the series exhibiting the mortality on the
2d, 3d, 4th, sth, and the 7th terraces of 20 feet elevation.
The house 'ground from 100 to 350 feet is on an ave-
rage about 137 feet high, and may be fairly represented
by a seventh terrace-120.140 feet. The sum of the
hypothetical series is 221 ; of the other also 221.
By applying this rule to the mortality of 1854 the
series becomes 78, 39, 26, 20, 16, and 11. The mor-
tality on the Ist and 7th terraces is in the relation of 1
and 1.7 ; in the others there is a disturbance ; the mor-
tality on the 4th terrace is above, on the 2d, 3d, and
6th, below, that indicated by the elevation. The devia-
tions from the law are in opposite directions ; and in
this single year nearly counterbalance each other.

the French Riflemen went to the right of the hill,
the left and centre being held by the seamen of
the Pique, President, and Virago, and those of
the French ships.
The left was cleared of the enemy sufficient to
take up a position on the flank of the 2-gun and
3 gun batteries in the rear, which had kept up a
sharp fire of round shot and grape down the gorge.
Driven from their guns by our musketry, they re-
tired to log houses, from which they kept up a
harassing fire of musketry on our left. The right
had by this time advanced up the hill and gained
the ridge which led. to the Saddle Battery, then en-
gaged by her Majesty's ship President. In effect-
ing this our loss had been most severe, owing to the
number of the enemy that had been strongly posted
on the top of the hill and on our flanks. We had
advanced some distance along the ridge when Cap-
tain Parker, R.M., was killed while gallantly lead-
ing on his then, and Lieutenants. M'Callrun and
Clements, R.M., were wounded ; and about this
time our men began to fall back, and, after many
attempts. to rally, the incessant fire kept up com-
pelled them to retreat towards the beach. A
small party formed behind the gorge battery to
cover the retreat ; but, as the boats had to be
brought within range of the enemy's musketry,
many of our men fell during the embarkation.
The casualties on the part of our allies will no
doubt be made known to you by the Commander-
in-Chief. Their gallant conduct on the advance,
and their steadiness in the retreat was much to be
admired. First Lieutenant Le Febvre, of the
Eurydice, was killed while advancing towards me,
and the gallant conduct of several of the French
officers, whose names I regret being unacquainted
with, came under my observation.
Among the losses we have to deplore on this oc-
sion, none can be more deeply regretted than that
of Captain Parker, R.M. He was a good soldier,
and an honour to the corps. Flag Lieutenant E.
A. Howard. was severely wounded while acting as
my aide-de-camp ; Lieutenant George Palmer, of
this ship, was wounded while leading the company
under his command. Lieutenants M'Callum and
Clements, R.M., and Mr. Robinson, mate, all of
the Pique, were wounded at the head of their men.
My thanks are due to all the officers, as well as
the men that were employed under my command.
The difficulties of the land and the jungle were
' more than they could contend against, while an
unseen enemy was firing upon them from all sides.
Subjoined is a list of the landing party, and the
- casualties that were sustained, and it only remains
• for me to express a hope that you will consider we
I did all that was in our power on the occasion.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

LORD JOHN THYNNE V. OGLE.-USE, OCCUPATION, AND

DILAPIDATIONS.

Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Willis appeared for the plain-
tiff, and Mr. Serjeant Shee and Mr. T. Chambers repre-
sented the defendant.
This was an action for use, and occupation, and dilapi-
dations resulting from the untenant-like manner in which
it was alleged the defendant had treated a farm in the
neighbourhood of Barnet. There was also a count for
money to be paid to out-going tenants for stock and
crops. The trial occupied the whole of the day, but
the plaintiff's case had not been concluded at the rising
of the court.

ADMIRALTY COURT.
THE ERNEST MERCTIC.-PRIZR.
In this case, whici had occupied a very large portion
of the time of the court,
Dr. Lushington delivered an exceedingly elaborate
judgment, bat the facts were of so intricate and con-
fused a character that it would be utterly impossible to
convey anything like a clear idea of them without occu-
pying an amount of space immeasurably greater than
their public interest. Dr. Lushington declared that on
many grounds it would be impossible to restore the
vessel, and he must therefore condemn it as a lawfu
prize.

THE ATLANTIC.—PRIZE.
This was a case of further proof. The vessel bad been
seized at Leith in September last, on suspicion of being
Russian property. On the 28th of October a claim had
been given in by Messrs. Baker and Bebring, of Liver-
pool, who had sworn that they were British subjects,
the sole owners of the ship, and that no foreigner had
any right, title, or interest in her whatever. They had,
however, subsequently abandoned their claim.
Dr. Lushington said there could be no doubt that a
great fraud had been attempted to be practised upon the
court by the deponents. He should condemn the vessel,
and also condemn the partiesin the costs.

Eliza Watson, aged 14, was charged with administer-
ing arsenic to her master, Mr. Win. Walker, with in-
tent to poison him.
Mr. 0 verend and Mr. Peyronnet Thompson ap-
peared for the prosecution ; and Mr. Dearsley defended
the prisoner.
It appeared that the prosecutor was a farmer at Mal-
ton, in the East Riding, and kept six servants, of whom
the prisoner was one, and acted as housemaid. She
was not yet fifteen years of age, and was a very good-
looking girl. The prosecutor had, at the end of Sep-
tember last, a packet of arsenic, which he used for the
purpose of washing sheep, placed in his clock-case, of
which his wife kept the key. On the 2d of October the
prisoner took a paper to Anne Bennison, the cook, and
asked her what was written on it, and Bennison told
her "Arsenic—poison." The prisoner then asked her
to allow her to snake the dumplings, which the cook re-
fused to allow her to do. She, however, did make some
dumplings of flour and lard, and they were on the
table when Anne Bennison returned bat° the kitchen,
which she had left, and she boiled them, and one was
sent up for the master's dinner, and part of another
she ate herself. Soon after eating the dumpling,
the prosecutor felt sick and very unwell, and lay
down on the sofa. Soon after Bennison became unwell,
when the prisoner stood in the kitchen doorway, laugh-
ing at her, and, speaking of her master, made use of a
coarse expressioa, and said she had "physicked him."
The prosecutor had never had any words with her, or
found fault with her, though he had frequently done so
with Bennison. On the prisoner laughing at Bennison
she remembered about the arsenic, and told a fellow-
servant her suspicions, who immediately told the prose-
cutor. A surgeon was sent for from Hessle, and a strong
emetic being administered the prosecutor recovered.
The prisoner had thrown the other dumplings into the
dust-hole, from whence they were taken, and on being
analysed were found to contain arsenic sufficient to
poison any two men.
His Lordship said, after hearing the evidence of Ben-
nison, that it would seem that the prisoner had igno-
rantly and foolishly thought to practise a clever joke—
as boys give jalap to physic a person—without being
aware of the dangerous consequences that might have
resulted from her conduct.
The jury then acquitted the prisoner.
His Lordship then warned the prisoner of the great
risk she bad run, as she might have poisoned her master
by her folly.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.)
IN ItH JOSEPH WINDLE COLE.

This was the adjourned exaroivationineeting; The
bankrupt was a merchant, of 19, I3irchin-lane, who is
now undergoiog imprisonment, in pursuance of the sen-
tence of the Central Criminal Court. At the last meet-
ing, the trial not having taken place, an adjournment
was ordered for two months. No accounts have been
filed, but debts to the amount of 200,0001. have, been
proved.
The bankrupt was brought up in custody, and in an-
swer to questions by Mr. Murray, who appeared for the
assignees, made the following statement :—I commenced
business in May, 1848, under the firm of Cole, Brothers,
but I had no partner. I had been bankrupt in 1847, and
had no capital when I re-commenced business, except
loans from friends. I never took stock ; I did no busi-
ness that required it. I had an estimate in my own mind
of the state of*nay affairs. In 1848 and 1849 I was '
rather prosperous. I knew continually the general re-
sult of my affairs ; they were most prosperous in
the early part of 1553. I could not state what I
then owed without reference to my papers, which I have
not seen for the last five months. My business origin-
ally was with the East Indies, executing orders, receiv-
ing consignments, and making shipments on my own
account. My transactions were very extensive ; in
1853, I should think about two millions, including every-
thing arising out of them. The goods which I bought,
sold, or consigned were principally tin, copper, spelter,
and iron. The books I kept were invoice-book, the
bankers' pass-book, and the bankers' cheque-book, also
a letter-book and insurance books. I kept no cash-book,
ledger, or journal, I made my bankers' cheque-book a
rough cash-book. I should have spoilt my operations
if I had allowed my clerks to write a journal of them.
My cheque-books will enable me to make up a cash ac-
count. I paid into my bankers all my receipts, and
made all my payments through my bankers. I stopped
payment on the 27th of June. I had then in my
possession, or under my control, two bills, two small
warrants, and the surplus of some consignments or
loans. I was arrested by Forrester o❑ the 19th of
July. I should say that I was solvent at Christ-
mas, 1853. I don't consider that I was insolvent
when I stopped payment. Of the two bills which were
in my possession, one was drawn by Mr. George Hud-
son upon Davidson and Gordon, for 1,0001. ; the other
was on Mr. Lewis for 2001. I had also some shares in
the Berlin Water-works. Some bank notes for about
320/. were also found 1,7 Forrester in my possession.
On the sth of June I drew a cheque in favour of
" Selves" for 2,3001., and received that amount in bank
notes from Messrs. Glyn, my bankers. Of this sum
3,100/. were paid in again on the following day. I
think I lent the other 1,2001. to Davidson and Gordon,
and received it back on the 7th, and paid it again into
the bank. Ou the 19th of June I drew out 110,9Q1,1

BOSTON, Nov. 24, 7 r.m.

The steam-ship Canada has not arrived up yet, although
she was signalled as being about 15 miles below at four
o'clock this afternoon. Shortly before six o'clock this
evening the sky was illuminated by an extensive
fire in the outer harbour, and various causes were as-
signed as to what it proceeded from. It is now re-
ported by telegraph from Nantasket that the boilers of
one of the Eastern steamers have exploded ; that the
steamer took fire and was burned to the water's edge in
consequence, and that the passengers and crew were
being saved by the vessels and the boats in the vicinity.
No further particulars have yet transpired. Three
boats left for the Eastern ports at 5 p.m. loaded with
passengers, namely, the Forest City, the Ocean, and
the Boston. It is thought probable that the steam-ship
Canada has stopped to render assistance.
10 r.m.—Shortly before six o'clock this evening the
steam-ship Canada came in collision with the steamer
Ocean, hence for Hallowell (Me.), striking her amidships.
The Ocean took fire, and soon after her boiler exploded.
Several lives are lost. The steamship Canada is now
anchored off Rainsford Island, and the steamer Nep-
tune has been sent down to her to bring on her
and will probably reach here with them at 12 o'clock
to-night. The collision between the Canada and the
Ocean occurred shortly after five o'clock, near the lower
light-house. Tho weather was not very thick at the
time, and the cause of the disaster remains unexplained.
The steamers Forest City, for Portland, and the Boston,
for Bangor, took off the passengers of the Ocean, about
80 in number. The collision upset the stoves on board
the Ocean, in consequence of which she took fire, and
soon afterwards followed the explosion of one•of her
boilers. A man, a woman, and a, child three years old,
were picked up after being drowned—names unknown.
Hiram L. Wing, one of the messengers of Carpenter's
Express, is badly scalded. Charles Pope, a coloured
man, had. his thigh broken, and his wife is badly in-
jured. These are all the serious casualties that have
yet transpired, but it is feared many more have lost
their lives by drowning. The fright of the passeng, rs
was excessive. The Forest City returned here with the
dead and injured, and the Boston, with the balancr ref
the passengers, proceeded on her way to the east. I lie
Ocean was a large and good boat, and was commandel
by Captain Donovan. She was heavily freighted, and
is a total loss,
