WOOLWICH.

Two cases have occurred on board the Dreadnought
hospital-ship, moored off Greenwich, and lumpers were
sent up yesterday to lay moorings for the Hebe re-
ceiving-ship, which has been lent by the Admiralty for
the purpose of being used as an auxiliary hospital-ship
for cases of cholera. A severe case also occurred to one
of the men of the Woolwich division doing duty at
Deptford, but he has fortunately recovered.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.-Mr. George Nasmytb,
C.E., makes the following suggestion with reference to
one means of rendering the air pure in our streets, lanes,
&c. " I would propose," he says, "that along with the
water used for watering the streets there should be a
few pounds of chloride of lime put into each cartfull of
water, and, in addition to this, a small quantity of sul-
phuric acid, so as to combine with the lime, and thereby
set the chlorine gas free. The purifying properties of
this gas are well known, where fevers of the worst kind
rage. The object attained by this means will be the
great surface of ground covered with the disinfecting
liquid, and, therefore, the great quantity of air rendered
much more wholesome. The same mixture I would
have used in one or more of the fire-engines, and by
leading the hose into the confined courts and passages,
would in a great measure purify them at a small cost."

IMPROVEMENT IN THE ROYAL NAVY.—A late Par-
liamentary return affords evidence of a progressive im-
provement iu the conduct of the seamen in the navy.
In 1848 the punishments were 1,303, and the lashes
40,545 ; in 1852 the punishments had fallen to 578,
and the lashes to 17,571 ! R. Osborne, Esq., one of
the Secretaries of the Admiralty, in a recent communi-
cation to the National Temperance Society, remarks,
that the Lords of the Admiralty " have great pieasurt.
in stating that intemperance and punishment are both
greatly diminishing in consequence of the " Amended
Regulations ;" which, as our readers may be aware,
involved not only the permission to use tea instead of
intoxicating liquors, but likewise the reduction of the
former allowance of spirits or wine one-half, with a
pecuniary compensation for this reduction ; and a fur-
ther compensation where the reduced allowance wasalso
given up. These and other judicious arrangements,
tending to abate the facilities for indulgence in drink,
have been followed by results in which every friend of
the sailor must rejoice.—United Sm-vice Gazeite, (Sept.

STEALING NOTES.

Mary Keighly, 24, was indicted for stealing a pocket-
book and 1501. in bank notes, the property of Thomas
Hollis, from his person.
The prosecutor stated that he arrived in this country
from Port Philip a short time ago. He was living at a
coffee-house at Paddington, and one day he met the pri-
soner in Hyde-park. They had some conversation, in
the course of which she told him that she was hungry
and friendless, and he then took her to a public-house,
and gave her some refreshment. They prolonged their
stay till eight o'clock at night, by which time each of
them were rather " fresh," and they then walked to the
park, and separated. Immediately after she was gone
he missed his pocket-book, in which there were two
bank notes for 1501. ; but he did not tell anybody, as he
was a total stranger to the mode of proceeding in such
matters. When he got home he told his landlord, and,
acting on his advice, he went and told the police.
From the other evidence it appeared that the prisoner,
who could neither read nor write, was quite ignorant of
the value of the notes. She went to a public-house and
asked for change for a si. note, placing on the counter
one for 1001. When questioned as to how she came by
it, she gave very unsatisfactory answers, and she was
given into custody. On being searched, the pocket-
book, a 501. note, and some loose money were found
upon her. The prosecutor went to the place he got the
notes from and got the numbers, which be handed to
the police, and the numbers on the two notes in question
were the same,

The jury found the prisoner guilty.
Mr. Witham sentenced her to six months' hard labour,

practice of some butchers emptying ,the filth and offal
from slaughtered cattle into the public streets.
Mr. Secker regretted that there was no means of
summarily dealing with the nuisance, but said that he
should grant a summons, so that the evidence might be
taken, and the defendant held to bail to answer to an
indictment at the sessions.
Mr. Hill said he should act on this suggestion.

TEE REGTSTRATIuNS.

CITY OF LONDON.

Mr. Thomas Young M'Christie, the barrister ap-
pointed to revise the lists of voters for the city of Lon-
don, held his court for that purpose yesterday morning
in the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall.

Mr. Carlyle and Mr. Eaglesfield supported the Con-
servative interest, and Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr.
Ledger appeared for the Radical Association.
The lists contained rather more than the usual num-
ier of objections, and were thus divided :
By Conservatives (Livery) 42
By Radicals (Ditto)
—2BB
. 732
. 516

By Conservatives (Householders)...
By Radicals (Ditto) ...

-1,248

Total objections 1,536
Out of the above number, however, must be deducted
274 objections by both parties. There were 2,041 omis-
sions from the lists last year, and this year there are
2,703 new names ; but, with the objections taken to
the livery's and householders' lists, it is fully expected
that the entire number of voters on the new register
will be reduced by about 200 from last year.
The entire lists of the livery were gone through yes-
terday, but no point whatever arose worthy of special
notice, the objections on each side being taken for
granted and allowed. The result of the revision of this
class of voters was as follows :
Expunged by Conservatives
Expunged by Radicals
Failed by Conservatives
Failed by Radicals
Double objections sustained
The Revising Barrister then proceeded to take the
householders' lists.

AUSTRIA.

Amongst the passengers who arrived at Stettin,
by the last steamer from St. Petersburgh, was the
Duke de Broglie.
Count Guyon, aide-de-camp of the Emperor of
the French, Colonel de Chanalleilles, and Com-
mandants Henri de Gillers, arrived at Dresden on
their way to the camp of Olmutz. The next day
they were to visit the fortress of Kcenigstein.
The King of Prussia has just appointed Prince
Frederick William son of the Prince of Prussia, to
be major in the first regiment of the Guard. The
young prince will, says the Constitutionnel, accom-
pany his father to Olmutz, and go from thence to
Italy. _ .

The Emperor of Austria arrived at Olmutz on
the 16th, but was, it was said, to return to Vienna
on the 20th, to be present at the arrival of the in-
signia of Hungary.
_ _

The Boyd— of Vienna, of the 17th, states that
Mr. Jackson, the American Minister, has arrived
there with Mr. Davenport, the Secretary of Lega-
tion, for the purpose of arranging the dispute
about Kosta. Mr. Jackson is, adds the Lloyd, to
go to Olmutz to present his letters of credence to
the Emperor of Austria.
Baron de Meyendorff, the Russian Ambassador
at Vienna, left that city on the 15th for Warsaw
to wait the arrival of the Emperor of Russia. The
English Ambassador, the Earl of Westmoreland, is
to leave on the 23d for Olmutz, where he is to re-
main till the 27th.

The Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia arrived
in Moscow ten days ago. The Prince and Princess
Frederick of the Netherlands have also arrived in
that .ital.
The decree of the 22d October, 1814, published
in the German provinces of Austria, according to
which every document written in the Hebrew lan-
guage was declared null and void, has just been
extended to Hungary, Croatia, Sclavonia, Servia,
and the Banat.
London, England, 1853-09-21

ITALY.

The Piedmontese Gazette states from Bologna
12th, that Count Nobili, Austrian Civil and Mili-
tary Governor of that city, has been sent for by
Marshal Radetzky. Prince Lichtenstein has ar-
rived from Florence to replace him.
A letter from Bologna of the 13th, in the Ger-
man Journal of Frankfort, states that serious dis-
turbances have occurred at Terni and Narni, on
account of the rise in .the price of bread. Troops
have been sent thither to maintain order.
The Giornale di Roma, of the 12th, announces
that on the preceding day but one, the Pope held
a secret consistory in the Quirinal Palace, in which
he proposed the bishops for eight episcopal sees,
among which may be mentioned that of Guada-
loupe for Mgr. Forarde, Bishops of Samos in par-
tibus. The Sacred Pallium was applied for in
favour of the Metropoli'Lan Church of San Fran-
cisco in Upper California, lately instituted by his
Highness.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.
The quantity of English wheat on offer in to-day's mar-
ket was very limited, and in middling condition. For all
kinds the demand ruled active, and in some instances
prices were is per quarter higher than on Monday.
There was rather an active sale for foreign wheat, and
holders almost generally refused to sell except at is per
quarter more money.
Floating cargoes were again rather higher, with an im-
proved demand on continental account.
Barley was in moderate supply and firm request, at fully
Monday's advance.
The malt trade was firm, and prices had an improved
tendency.

LIVERPOOL.

Another case of cholera has occurred here ; but it is
satisfactory to know that in this as in all the other cases
we have had occasion to notice, the person attacked had
just arrived from the continent, where the disease is at
present raging. A. man reached Liverpool on Saturday
last from Hamburg, and took up his residence at the
Emigrants' Home. On Sunday he was attacked with
diarrhoea, and yesterday morning it was found that he
was labouring under cholera. He was immediately re-
moved to the hospital. The general mortality of the
borough continues below the average.

A VISITOR,

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.--It appears that the ex-
periment sanctioned by the present Government with a
view to the ultimate introduction of a complete annual
system of agricultural statistics has made some progress,
and has furnished evidence of the general willingness of
landowners and farmers to lend their assistance towards
the objects aimed at. The secretary of the Highland
Agricultural Society of Scotland has transmitted to thd-
Board of Trade returns of the specific condition of agri;
cultural operations in three counties of Scotland, namely,
Roxburgh, Haddington, and Sutherland, on the 20th of
May, 1853. Each county is divided into certain dis-
tricts, comprising 'several parishes, and the number of
acres under different kinds of crop is precisely specified.
Thus, there are columns for wheat, barley, oats, rye,
beans, vetches, turnips, potatoes, mangold, carrots, cab-
bage, flax, turnip-seed, alternate grasses, improved per-
manent grass enclosures, and irrigated meadows. The
number of acres not in crop is also stated, whether con-
sisting of bare fallow, sheep walks, houses, gardens,
roads, fences, &c., woods and waste ; and,
finally, the
amount of stock is described and classified under the
designation of horses, milk caws, other cattle, ewes,
tups, wethers, and swine. The whole of the tables
are concise and simple, and the totals for each county
are discernible at a glance. All the information con-
tained in them was voluntarily given by the occupiers
of the land, except in three instances, where the sche-
dules were filled in by the enumerator. After the har-
vest, it is proposed to proceed in a similar manner with
an estimate of the crops.
STEAM-BOILER EXPLOSION.—On Monday morning a
fearful explosion occurred at the Low Fold-mill,' Bank,
Leeds, belonging to Messrs. G. Hammond and Son, flax
and tow spinners, doing considerable damagi to the
premises, severely scalding ten or a dozen of toe bands
employed, and slightly injuring more.
THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE CLYDE.—A skiff match
for 401., and the championship of the Cly e, is appointed
to take place over the Glagow Regatta. Course, on
Thurshay next, between Mr. J. B. M'Neill, secretary
of the Regatta Club, and Mr. W. Brown, of St. Rollox.

tary Governor of that city, has been sent for by
Marshal Radetzky. Prince Lichtenstein has ar-
rived from Florence to replace him.
A letter from Bologna of the 13th, in the Ger-
man Journal of Frankfort, states that serious dis-
turbances have occurred at Terni and Narni, on
account of the rise in the price of bread. Troops
have been sent thither to maintain order.
The Giornale di Roma, of the 12th, announces
that on the preceding day but one, the Pope held
a secret consistory in the Quirinal Palace, in which
he proposed the bishops for eight episcopal sees,
among which may be mentioned that of Guada-
loupe for Mgr. Forarde, Bishops of Samos in par-

AUSTRIA.

Amongst the passengers who arrived at Stettin,
by the last steamer from St. Petersburgh, was the
Duke de Broglie.
Count Guyon, aide-de-camp of the Emperor of
the French, Colonel de Chanalleilles, and Com-
mandants Henri de Gillers, arrived at Dresden on
their way to the camp of Olmutz. The next day
they were to visit the fortress of Kamigstein.
The King of Prussia has just appointed Prince
Frederick William son of the Prince of Prussia, to
be major in the first regiment of the Guard. The
young prince will, says the Constitutionnel, accom-
pany his father to Olmutz, and go from thence to
Italy.

The Emperor of Austria arrived at Olmutz on
the 16th, but was, it was said, to return to Vienna
on the 20th, to be present at the arrival of the in-
signia of Hungary.
The Lloyd of Vienna, of the 17th, states that
Mr. Jackson, the American Minister, has arrived
there with Mr. Davenport, the Secretary of Lega-
tion, for the purpose of arranging the dispute
about Kosta. Mr. Jackson is, adds the Lloyd, to
go to Olmutz to present his letters of credence to
the Emperor of Austria.
Baron de Meyendorff, the Russian Ambassador
at Vienna, left that city on the 15th for Warsaw
to wait the arrival of the Emperor of Russia. The
English Ambassador, the Earl of Westmoreland, is
to leave on the 23d for Olmutz, where he is to re-
main till the 27th.

The Hereditary Grand Duke of Russia arrived
in Moscow ten days ago. The Prince and Princess
Frederick of the Netherlands have also arrived in
that capital.

The decree of the 22d October, 1814, published
in the German provinces of Austria, according to
which every document written in the Hebrew lan-
guage was declared null and void, has just been
extended to Hungary, Croatia, Sclavonia, Servia,
and the Banat.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills
are superior remedies for the cure of erysipelas.--Mr.
William Parsons, of St. George's, Pill, near Bristol, was
afflicted for upwards of two years with erysipelas in his
legs, so bad at times as to lay him up for a month toge-
ther; the medical aid he received, besides a weekly at-
tendance at the Bristol Infirmary, had no good effect
whatever in the disease, consequently he determined on
giving Holloway's Ointment and Pills a trial, and they
have been the means of effecting a radical cure of his
legs in an almost unprecedented short time.— -Sold by

DURHAM.

Although we have been entirely free from cholera, our
close proximity to Newcastle and other places where
the disease has appeared, and the appearance in the at-
mosphere of myriads of most troublesome and peculiar
looking flies, which have in other places preceded an
outbreak of cholera, have aroused the local board
of health, and the board of guardians, each of
whom have taken precautionary measures against the
epidemic. District commissioners have been appointed,
who have completed a thorough inspection of every lane
and yard in the town, with a view to the discovery and
removal of nuisances of 'whatever description. During
Sunday and yesterday, the streets were flushed, houses
whitewashed inside and out, yards and lanes sluiced
with water by the city fire-engine, and to-morrow lime
will be thrown on the surface of the streets, and chloride
of lime gratuitously distributed to the poor, to be used
for the disinfection of privies, cesspools, &c., Hand-
bills and placards have been issued, informing the pub-
lic where, in the event of cholera breaking out, or pre-
monitory symptoms appearing, gratuitous medical aid
may be obtained, and recommending the following pre-
cautions and instructions :—" 1. All persons attacked
with looseness of the bowels, however slight, either with
or without pain, are most strongly urged to apply without
delay for medical relief. Looseness of the bowels is
generally the forerunner of the cholera, and at this stage it
may in most cases be readily and at once prevented. 2.
Keep your houses dry, and your windows and doors
open as much as possible ; remove stagnant water and
all offensive matter from around your dwellings. 3.
Carefully observe personal cleanliness ; avoid wet cloth-
ing and sudden chill ; keep the surface of the body
warm, and wear a flannel belt round the stomach and
loins, as this is found the best preventive of the loose-
ness of the bowels which generally precedes cholera.
Expose bedding and clothing to the sun and air during
the heat of the day. 4. Use plain and wholesome food,
avoiding articles of diet known to produce bowel com-
plaints, such as fruits and uncooked vegetables, espe-
cially abstain from acid drinks, fermented and spirituous
liquors. A careful observance of these precautions and
instructions will materially tend to ensure general good
health, which is the best safeguard against an attack of
cholera." One of the committee reports one case of
cholera as having occurred yesterday in a densely-popu-
lated part of the city, the victim being a man who had
fled from Newcastle to avoid the disease. The borough
magistrates are sitting en permanence, to receive com-
plaints respecting nuisances and order their removal.
