FECTING FLUID is CREW'S IMPROVED CHLORIDE

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in its
application and innoxious in itself. The high price at which it 11,-
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal application as a disinfecting and parity.);
agent, the present manufacturer, who was many years with Sir W.
Burnett's Company, has arranged to supply the public with concen-

It is sold by all Chemists and Shipping Agents in the United Kin-
dom, in Imperial Quart Bottles at 2s. 6d. each ; in pints, is. ; half
pints, 6d. each ; anti in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon.

LORD DERBY IN LIVERPOOL.

At the private dinner given by the Mayor of Liver-
pool on Wednesday evening to "the Earl of Derby and
a distinguished party" his lordship made a speech, the
pith of which is rendered in the "talk on 'Change" of
the local Journal :
" It was much debated beforehand whether his Lord-
ship would or would not enter upon points of public
interest, or would confine himself strictly to general
topics. He put an end, however, to all doubt, as it is
said, at the opening of his speech, after his health had
been proposed by the Mayor, by stating that, when he
had accepted the invitation, he had expressed himself
desirous of being considered merely as a private guess,
and not as a public character. Notwithstanding
this, he seems to have taken the opportunity of im-
pugning the statements which have lately been put
forth, that the government of this country could be
carried on independent of party. He alleged that all
administrations must be, more or less, formed upon a
principle of individual compromise, but that they could
not be carried on with confidence to the nation if
the elements were heterogeneous and had differed from
each other by any broad line of separation ; that, two
sections of the Cabinet being opposed to each other,
the supporters of the respective views out of doors were
always uncertain what portion would have the ascend-
ancy, and so hesitation, doubt, and collision necessarily
ensued. This, we believe, was his lordship's statement
of his case. He declared that be applied the reason-
ing generally, and without any individual or personal
application. He was, we believe, highly complimentary
to different members of the present Cabinet, considering
them to be some of the most distinguished men of the
day. He took credit to himself for the state of the
finances while he was Minister, and for the prosperous
position, commercially and otherwise, in which he left
the Government. He explained what he had done in
opening new markets in South America, and finished by
emphatically asserting that, should the nation be called
upon to support its policy by war, he and his party
would be found among the foremost to uphold the dig-
nity of the Crown and the sacredness of treaties. He
complimented the French Ministry for its concurrence
with England, and flattered himself that, though there
might have been some distrust of France in the first in-
stance, the straightforward manner in which the Em-
peror had since acted might have been somewhat influ-
enced by the increased confidence which the Govern-
ment of the day, and of which he bad been the head,
had subsequently placed in his declarations and his ac-
tions. He adverted with a considerable degree of feel-
ing to the sacrifice of personal comfort he had made in
accepting office, but admitted that, if again called on by
any emergency, he should be ready to obey his sovereign
and serve his country. His lordship's speech was, we
believe, much admired as a specimen of oratory, though
many thought that reasoning sophistical.

FREEROLD LAND SOCIETIES AND TEE
FRANCHISE.

On Monday the revising barrister for Middlesex resumed
his court at the Belvedere Tavern, Penton-street, Isling-
ton, in order to proceed with the lists of the parishes
and places within the district assigned to the poll at
King's-cross. _ _ _

In the parish of St. Mary, Islington, there was a large
number of claims arising out of freehold land which had
become the property of the claimants through the agency
of the St. Pancras, Marylebone, and Paddington Free-
hold Land Society. It will be remembered that upon
the occasion of the last revision there were very nume-
rous claims of the same description ; but as these were
for the most part 251. shares, and as a large number of
them (the holders having been successful in the ballot)
were still under a mortgage to the society, the barrister
held that the amount of qualification was not sufficient ' •
first, because he doubted whether a freehold purchased
for 251. was of adequate value to yield an income of 40s,
clear of all rates and charges ; and secondly, in the ease
of the mortgage still being unredeemed that there was'a
further diminution in the value of the freehold. The
effect of this decision was last year to disallow some
hundreds of ch,,ims.

In the interval which has elapsed since that period
and the present revision very many of the old claimants
have amended their qualifications by becoming possessed
of another. share, at the same time that they have re-
deemed any mortgage which the society might have upon
the property. In all such cases the claims were yester-
day allowed. One instance will illustrate the decision.
Elisha Archer yesterday claiined in respect of a freehold
of the annual value of 40s. Mr. J. Wells, the secretary
to the society, proved that the claimant had paid 521. 12s.
for the freehold, that he had been possessed of it the re-
quisite time, and that there was no mortgage. Mr.
Jones, the Conservative agent, said that he had opposed
these claims on the ground that the value of the qualifi-
cation was insufficient, and that much of the property
was still held under mortgage. Mr. Wells pledged him-
self that in every one of the present claims, the value
was sufficient to comply with the decision laid down by
the barrister last year, and that in none of them was
there any mortgage to the society. Under these cir-
cumstances the claims, which were regarded with much
interest, were established.

THE LATE MURDER IN THE MINORIES,—The wretched
man Mobbs, who stands charged upon the coroner's in-
quisition with the murder of his wife, and whose trial
was postponed at the last session of the Central Criminal
Court until the session commencing on the 24th inst.,
still remains an inmate of the London Hospital, under
the custody night and day of one of the City police ; the
reason for his not being removed to the infirmary at
Newgate is, that he will receive better attention in the
hospital, and be in a more fit state to undergo the fatigue
of his trial. The wretched man, it is stated, has entirely ,
recovered from the injuries he inflicted upon himself
after the brutal murder ; but he appears in a very low
and desponding state, and at times observes to those in
attendance upon him that he is only being oared that he
may be hanged at the Old Bailey. Inspector Marchant,
of the City police, holds the warrant, but the prisoner's
removal will not take place until the eve of the session.
THE POPE AND THE BILLIARD CIIE.----A letter from
Rome, in the Augsburg Gazette, says :—" In the palace
of the Vatican a number of workmen are at present oc-
cupied in arranging the floors of the pontiffcal apart-
ments, and putting down marble or mossaic in place of
the brick which has in general constituted, up to the
present time, the flooring of these rooms. The regimen
of walking exercise in the open air, recommended by the
medical advisers of the Pope, does not appear a suffi-
cient remedy to keep down his increasing corpulence,
and he has been lately ordered, in addition, to play an
hour every day at billiards. This his Holiness does from
five to six in the evening, generally with Mgr. Stella.

In the present position of the Eastern dispute it
is to the Turkish capital that we must look for the
most critical information, and, as the last reports
I assumed an aspect decidedly warlike, we have been
expecting with some anxiety the intelligence of
to-day. This, however, has not proved to be of
any decisive character. The "declaration of war"
is postponed for 15 days, and there is still room to
hope that actual hostilities may be avoided by ne-
gotiation or adjustment.
In conjecturing the possible course of events at
Constantinople, we have to deal with elements un-
known to the ordinary operations of political cal-
culation. The Turkish Government is liable to be
swayed at any moment by influences the most con-
tradictory and intractable. Prudence is thwarted
by fanaticism, and fanaticism itself is exposed to
bias from the violent spirit of faction. In the
Ottoman capital, and among the principal authori-
ties of the empire, there are two parties, one dis-
posed to peace and the other to war. Such a di-
vision of opinion would probably exist in any
State under similar circumstances, but in Turkey
the case is complicated by a variety of motives, more
or less apparent. The peace partyrepresents opinions
in accordance with the policy of Great Britain and
France. It does not advocate peace at all price,
or even at the cost of injurious concessions, but is
desirous to escape the incalculable hazards of open
war, and evinces a spirit of general confunnity to
the advice of its European supporters. This is the
party which, under the leadership of Redschid.
-Pasha, is, or by the latest advices was, at the head
of affairs. The war party represents ostensibly all
that remains of old Turkish fanaticism—an element
naturally quickened by the outrageous provocations
of Russia, and just now materially strengthened by
the influx of Asiatic Turks into the European do-
minions of the Sultan. This section, however,
possesses another and a more particular object in
the downfall of the opposite party, and wishes not
only to encounter the Russians on the Danube,
but to succeed to power in Constantinople. We
might be tempted, perhaps, to remark on the du-
plicity of a policy which would sacrifice the inte-
rests of the State to the designs of a faction ; but
we are compelled to remember that in this respect
the Turks might find a warrant in proceedings
nearer home. At this very moment our readers
may observe the organs of a party, professedly dis-
posed rather to absolutism than liberalism, cla-
mouring frantically for war on any terms, imputing
the least honourable motives to a desire for peace,
exerting every effort to obstruct a pacific adjust-
ment, and shrieking in ecstacies at any improve-
ment in the prospects of bloodshed and confusion.
In addition, however, to these natural elements
_ _

of faction in the Ottoman capital, there is another
supplied by the clandestine manoeuvres of Russia
against her European antagonists. As Redschid
Pasha and his party are notoriously in amicable
communication with the representatives of the
Western Powers, and derive, indeed, a material
portion of their strength from the support thus
obtained, their adversaries have acquired a certain
disposition towards the rival of these Powers in the
affairs of the East. Under ordinary circumstances
there would be nothing strange in such a bias.
Whenever a State is brought to such a position
that other States contend for influence over its
Government, the competing States usually find
themselves identified with the domestic factions of
the country. If one party in the Divan looked to
France or England, the other would not unna-
turally look to Russia. But, in the present case,
as Russia is the common enemy, and as the war
party must necessarily base its whole ostensible
policy upon opposition to Russia, it may seem
incomprehensible how two such elements could
combine. We are assured, nevertheless, that
negotiations have been secretly attempted for an
adjustment on conditions which might satisfy both
Russia and that section of the Turks in whose
eyes Russia is most hateful. It is said that the
Czar, for the sake of excluding France and Eng-
land from Ottoman affairs, and terminating a
situation which is not without embarrassment to

himself, may concede for the moment, of his own
free will and by private arrangement, terms accep-
table to Turkey, and that by such a result Redschid
Pasha and his western allies may be discredited,
and their opponents step into power.
Apart from this contingency, the war party
reckon with considerable sagacity on the double
advantages of their position. They conclude that
they may indulge the fanaticism of the population
without vitally endangering the safety of the State.
That hostilities with a power like Russia must
sooner or later be followed by total discomfiture
they do not deny, but they imagine that the cam-
paigning might be [protracted with greater or less
success, and that the consummation, or, in other
words, the capture of Constantinople and the ab-
sorption of the Ottoman empire in the Russian,
would be prevented, at all hazards and in their own
interests, by the European powers. These views
enable them to anticipate the gratification of war
without war's responsibilities, and the check which
policy or foresight might otherwise impose upon their
violence is thus removed. That such a course would be
displeasing to the allies, on whose ultimate support
they are relying, they must be well aware ; but,
as they know also that this support will be forth-
coming, less for the sake of Turkey than of Europe,
they may place no great value on the consideration.
We still, however, trust that Redschid Pasha and
his adherents may be able to maintain themselves
against their adversaries, and to carry out a
policy which is unquestionably the most promising,
not only for Europe, but for Turkey itself. The
most unscrupulous declaimers against peace cannot
profess to expect that the Ottoman empire could
gain by war, while it is impossible to predict the
consequences which might ensue to Europe if the
general peace were broken, and if a system which
has now been maintained for nearly 40 years were
to be violently destroyed. The interests of public
law and of European security are so closely con-
cerned in resistance to measures like those threat-
ened by Russia, that we must accept the last resort,
if we are driven to such extremity ; but, consider-
ing that the substantial terms of an adjustment are
no longer disputed, and that Russia has alleged her
readiness to make the concessions desired, if she
can be only satisfied on points of form, we do hope
the diplomatists intrusted with the negotiation will
find an escape from the difficulty, and make some
amends for the mistake of the Conference, by
establishing a plain and pacific understanding.

(From the Morning Post.)

The intelligence brought from Constantinople by
the Tancrede, which left that capital on the 26th
September, and the telegraph of the news brought
by the Fury, whose dispatches have not yet arrived,
corroborate in a great measure what previous tele-
graphs had announced. It was on the 25th that
the Grand Council of the Empire held their meet-
ing, and passed resolutions declaring the Vienna
note inadmissible, without the modifications, and
urging the Sultan to take measures necessary for
the defenee of his independence, and to procure
the immediate evacuation of the Principalities.
There can be no doubt that the Sultan would upon
this have immediately taken the most warlike mea-
sures, but that the ambassadors of the Four Powers
interfered to request delay, in order that the result
of the meeting at Olmiitz might be known ; and it
was hoped by them that at that meeting concessions
might be made which would lead to a speedy and
final settlement of the question. That hope has
failed.

In consequence of the advice of the Ambassadors,
the Sultan abstained for the time from any warlike
proclamation, confining himself to dispatching in-
structions to Omer Pacha to hold himself in readi-
ness, as he might be called upon to act at any mo-
ment, but bidding him carefully abstain from
hostilities till he should receive further orders.
With these instructions there was no doubt Omer
Pacha would comply, although he writes dispatch
on dispatch to the Divan, requesting permission to
attack the Russians, whom herepresents accurately
as suffering dreadfully from disease and want of
food, and as being, moreover, far inferior in num-
bers to his own army, which is full of health and
spirits, and eager for fight. He represents great
danger in delay, as in that case the Russians would
be able to receive reinforcements, whilst the Turks,
of course, are constantly liable to the invasion of
the fever and cholera, which have decimated the
ranks of their enemies.

The motives for procrastination have now, how-
ever, disappeared, and we have reason to believe
that the warlike proclamation of the Sultan would
probably be published on the fourth or fifth of Oc-
tober, the day of the advance of the whole of the
combined squadron into the Bosphorus. It is then
probable that orders, such as he will be glad to re-
ceive, will be dispatched to Omer Pacha, and there
is no doubt that the fleets will not remain idly at
anchor in the Bosphorus.
Active hostilities me, then, imminent, but it
must not for a moment be forgotten that war was
begun by Russia's act. of piracy in crossing the
frontier of her empire in arms, and in seizing on

A thousand and one deaths were registered in London
in the week that ended on Saturday. In the ten corre-
sponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average num-
ber was 952, which, if raised according to the increase of
population, becomes 1,047. The mortality from all
causes, therefore, differs little from the usual amount at
this season.
Scarlatina was fatal last week to 57 children, and in
some instances it appears to have been aggravated by
local causes. Diarrhoea carried off 71 persons, which is
nearly the same as in the previous week ; all the cases,
except 20, were among children. Cholera gives decided
indications of a_disposition to increase ; in three previous
weeks the fatal cases w;re'l6, 29, 47,;-last week they
rose to 66, of which 29 occurred to males, 37 to females.
The majority of the deaths were among persons of middle
age ; 26 occurred under 15 years of age, 36 at 15 and
under 60 years, 4 at 60 years and upwards? In the cor-
responding week of 1848, soon after the epidemic of that
period made its appearance in London, the number of
deaths from cholera was 30 ; in the corresponding week
of 1849, when it was passing away, the number was 110.
The 66 cases of last week were thus divided over the me-
tropolis :—ln the West districts 9, in the North 5, in the
Central 2, in the East 8, and on the South side of the
Thames 42.
Medical informants are requested to inquire specially
in all cases whether the attack of cholera commences by
" diarrhcea," and to state the interval of time, in hours
and days, between the appearance of diarrhcea and the
supervention of spasms, or of the other characteristic
symptoms of cholera.
It is admitted that diarrhoea generally precedes cholera,
and that diarrhcea should never be neglected for a single
hour in a time of epidemic cholera. If it be established
that the latter disease is invariably, or almost invariably,
preceded by a well-defined stage of illness, which is
amenable to medical treatment, it will at once allay
alarm and be a most important addition to the resources
of the medical art. The following is a list of last week's
deaths by cholera :
WEST DlSTRlCTS.—Population, 376,427.

KENSINGTON ; St. Mary, Paddington.—At 6, Alfred-

ant overseer, aged 57 years, "cholera Asiastica (25
hours)." Mr. Jay says :—" This case (which I saw

George's Hospital, from 56, Lower Grosvenor-street,
Grosvenor-square, on sth October, a cook (spinster),

4 t lof, aPons o n b y-
journeymant er r ac e
har-
ness maker, aged 36 years, " Asiatic cholera (22 hours)."
The informant stated :—" This patient was subject to
occasional attacks of diarrhcea, and had been twice
severely attacked during the past summer. The street
has been recently built, the houses being commodious,
well ventilated, and cleanly."
ST. JAMES, WESTMINSTER ; Goldnn•SqUaTe. At Po-
land-street, on 2d October, a butcher, aged 33 years,
"Asiatic cholera (16 hours)." Mr. Parkes, the regis-
trar, says :—" The deceased is stated to have been of
very intemperate habits, and to have recently laboured
under delirium tremens. About a fortnight since he had
a severe attack of diarrhcea, from which, however, he
had recovered. When a medical man was called in, a
few hours before his death, he was in a state of collapse.
The basement of these premises is used for slaughtering
cattle, which, at times, renders the dwelling above very
close and unwholesome' as well as offensive to the occu-
piers of the adjoining houses and to passengers."
NORTH DlSTRlCTS.—Population 490,396.
ST. MARYLEBONE ; the Rectory.—At 21, Blandford-
street, on 2d October, a butcher, aged 30 years, "Asiatic
cholera (10 hours), no premonitory diarrhoea." Mr.
Joseph adds :—"lthough the medical report is ' no
premonitory diarrhoea,' the informant states there had
been diarrhcea existing for several days antecedent to the
attack from the incautious use of Seidlitz aperients. In
the opinion of the surgeon, it was the most marked case
of true Asiatic cholera he had ever witnessed. A butcher,
in good circumstances, serving his customers up to 12
o'clock on Saturday night, was seized at 3 a.m. and died
at 1 p.m. on Sunday. The whole of the premises ap-
pear to be kept very clean, and no animals had been
slaughtered there for two months, but there is a chapel
close adjoining, where formerly interments took place,
in a very confined locality, and surrounded by houses on
all sides."

" cholera (20 hours)." Mr. Yarrow says :—" This is
the second death in the same room, where the mother
died on the 26th September, as reported last week. The
deceased was about four months advanced in pregnancy,
and it it supposed that fright, caused by the death of her
mother, in addition to nuisances at the rear of the house,
was among the causes that produced the fatal result.
Five persons slept in the same apartment. The room
has since been cleared out, and the family removed to
the workhouse.
SHOREDITCH ; Haggerstone West.—At 16, York-row,
York-street, Kingsland-road, on 6th October, the daugh-

at the back of Kingsland-road, leading out of York-
( street, containing two rooms each and two small closets,
in a very damp and dirty condition, badly drained, and
no thorough ventilation. The rooms on the ground
floor are seven inches below the ground outside, and in
one which I entered a board was taken up, and under-
neath were 10 inches of water and black mud, emitting
a most offensive smell. They are nearly all alike ; and
j as to whitewashing or painting the insides, that has not
been done for many years. From the house where this
death occurred three other persons were removed to the
workhouse in a state of collapse from the same epidemic,
and died in the course of the following day. Two fami-
lies, consisting of 13 persons, inhabited this small house.

" This woman had no premonitory symptoms. I saw
her five hours after the attack ; she was then in collapse,
from which she did not rally. She suckled her infant
soon atter she was attacked, the child soon became sick,
and collapse rapidly followed. In the same house I at-
tended a woman this day fortnight ; she was collapsed
for some hours • during the day she drank 16 quarts of
cold w.iter, and now quite well."
In the same sub-district, at Blue-anchor-lane, on Bth
October, the wife of a chemist, aged 26 years, "Asiatic
cholera (5 days), parturition (4 days)." "This was a
most distressing case. I had attended this patient the
previous week for an affection from which elvrlras'eten—
valescent. On Sunday last she had slight diarrhcea,
which yielded to common remedies. On Monday morn-
ing, in consequence of the stench produced by the men
working in the sewers opposite to her house, stirring up
and throwing the solid matter on the bunk, she became
sick, and soon diarrhoea again occurred ; collapse took
place in six hours ; in this state she remained during the
night. She was in the ninth month of her pregnancy ;
labour supervening, I delivered her (during the collapse) ;
she rallied the following day, and I entertained good
hopes of her recovery, when a meddlesome woman (a
midwife) was introduced by a friend, and interfered most
mischievously ; the change in the morning was too ap-
parent ; the poor woman sank."

October, the wife of a leather-dresser, aged 24 years,

yard. on 4th October, the daughter of a bombardier in
the Royal Artillery, aged 3 years, died of "scarlatina (2
days)." The medical attendant of the deceased states that
"the room in which the child died was occupied by four per-
sons, the father, mother, and two children : that the bed-
room is 9 feet long, 7 ft wide; on one side the wall is in height
6 feet, on the other 8 feet and 3 inches ; hence the
amount of air afforded is much too small for the preser-
vation of health and life ; and as it stated that the back
bedrooms to the houses in this street, which is occupied
almost exclusively by the families of the military, are
nearly all of similar dimensions, the extension of scarla-
tina or the outbreak of the cholera here may issue in a
frightful mortality."
dAt 2, Prospect-place, Charlton, on 6th October, the
aughter of an engineer, aged 9 years, died of " scarla-
tina (4 days), (diarrhoea (1 day). Mr. Timpson, the
medical. attendant, remarks that three children have had
scarlatina within the last fortnight, and were attended
in a back parlour, and were all without medical atten-
dance, further than what was obtained by sending to the
chemist's. The two youngest, who were first attacked,
are out of danger, but ill ; the other, to whom this paper'
refers, was last attacked, and diarricea was increased
by a purgative powder, and the child has sunk. I
.arrived. after th-6;- died. 7— Mr. Burned; the registrar,
adds—" Many complaTts have been made of the want
of drainage in this locality ; indeed the whole of Lower
Charlton is without drainage, and -Upper Charlton has
very little."
At 23, Hackney-road, on the Ist October, the wife of
a bricklayer, aged 55 years, died of "diarrhoea. (8 days)."
Mr. Yarrow mentions that "the disease is supposed to
have arisen from the bad smells, caused by imperfect
drainage and other nuisances in the rear of the house,
which have since been attended to by the parochial
authorities."
In St. Leonard, Shoreditch, at 70, Willow-walk, on
2d October, a packer, aged 54 years, "diarrhoea (3
days)." "The house is situated in a densely populated
and ill-drained narrow street ; it contains six rooms, all
occupied by separate families, amounting to 27 persons
(12 adults and 15 children). The rooms are all small,
which renders it impossible to preserve health."
In sub-district ofiSt. Saviour, at 4, Thornton's-build-
ings on 4th October, the daughter of a blacksmith, aged
6 months, "diarrhcea (10 days.)" The medical atten-
dant states that the purging was brought on and kept
up by impure air from the drains ; that the stench is al-
most past bearing ; that vermin come into the room ;
and the place is quite black for want of whitewashing ;
altogether an unhealthy and confined place."
Mr. Child, registrar of Norwood sub-district, makes
the following note :—Complaints are constantly being
made respecting the cesspools overflowing at Emma
Cottages, Elder-road, Gipsey-hill. There are from two
to three feet of water and other filth and drainage from
the cesspools lying under the houses, which oozes
through the brickwork across the road into the adjoin.
ing property, to the great injury and annoyance of the
inhabitants residing there. The cottages are very small,
and a great many people are living in them ; also the
drainage in George-street, Gipsey-hill (which I men-
tioned in my return of last quarter), still remains in the
same state.

The following deaths were registered in the week tha
ended Saturday, October Ist :
At 9, Coburg-street, on 26th September, the daughter
of a watch-jeweller, aged 3 years, " scarlatina maligna
('1 days)." Mr. Burrows, the registrar, says, "The
house in which this death occurred is in a filthy condi-
tion, and the smell from the drains is at times intolerable.
