CONSTANTINOPLE.

Dates from Constantinople to the 24th of July
state, that a strong body of the allied troops had
gone in 15 ships from Baltsbik to Anapa.
Five Russian boats had been sunk by two Eng-
lish steamers whilst raising the engines of the Tiger.
In the arsenal of Constantinople many gun-boats
are being fitted out. _

Chole—ra has appeared at Smyrna and Varna.
A letter from Constantinople, of July 20, says
—" Our accounts from Gallipoli are still unsatis-
factory. The people are terror-stricken and have
fled from the town in all directions ; and even the
sanitary officer of the district has shamefully aban-
doned his post. The Council of Health is adopting
every possible means to prevent the spread of the
cholera, which is happily still confined to the French
troops, the original focus of infection. All arrivals
from Gallipoli and the Dardanelles are subjected
to a igorous quarantine, and the French depot at
Daout Pacha and Maltepe, where some cases of
cholera had appeared, are also isolated by a mili-
tary cordon. There are as yet no signs of cholera
either in the capital or the environs. The only in-
stance we know of was that of a porter, supplied by
the Health Office to work on board the French
packet Alexander, who caught the infection and
died in a few hours. The faculty has decided
that this disease results merely from an at-
mosphetic current operating on certain locali-
ties, and is not transmissible by contact—and
to it we must leave . explanation of this fact.
About a hundred Russian prisoners, and amongst
them several officers, were brought in two days ago
from the Danube, as also 8 prizes, which we hope
may prove lawful, heavily laden with grain. Our
blue jackets want a little pocket-money, and are all
most anxious for an adventure in the Crimea, which
is, according to the reports in circulation, the great
object in view. Not a Russian sail or steamer is
any longer to be seen in the Euxine.

MOVEMENTS OF THE AUSTRIAN ARMY.
According to a telegraphic despatch from Vienna
dated last night, the Emperor returned yesterday
morning at 11 o'clock. An hour later Feldzeag-
meister Hess was with him.
In high military circles in Vienna it is believed
that force must be employed to dislodge the Rus-
sians from Moldavia.
The army corps under Prince Francis Lichten-
stein is ordered to advance from Pesth to Gallicia.
The Austrian army in Gallicia is moving towards
the frontiers.
Archduke Albrecht has removed his head-
quarters to Cronstadt, iu the south-east corner of
Transylvania.

CHOLERA IN THE CITY.

In the report of the Medical Officer of Health ap-
peared the following paragraph :
_ _

" I very deeply regret to inform your hon. Court that
the tabular statement of the city mortality includes six
cases in which Asiatic cholera has occasioned death within
your jurisdiction; and, from such information as is before
me, I have every reason to fear that an epidemic visita-
tion of that disease has already commenced in the metro-
polis. Should this apprehension be just, the time will
n
9w have arrived when little further can b e hoped from
those preventive sanitary measures which it lies in your
province to enforce ; the time when whatever resistancecan be offered to the disease lies rather in preventive
medical treatment, especially in well-organised arrange-
ments for the discovery and control of premonitory
(liarrhsca. It lies within your province to organise these
arrangements, and I advert to the subject chiefly that I
may point out the line of separation between such duties
and your own. Your special share of battle against the
disease has belonged to the last five years and particularly
to the last few months. It now devolves on others to take
their part in the struggle. Ido not, however, propose that
your defensive measures should in any degree be relaxed.
I would, on the contrary, urge that they be carried on at
least as actively as heretofore, and in one matter especially
I think the present season invites a new activity. I refer
to the sale of unsound and unwholesome fruit which
is now tending to prevail to a considerable extent.
With the sale of all unsound and unwholesome provisions
you are authorised toluterfere by confiscation and penalty,
under section 52 of the City Sowers Act, ISSI ; and this
power of yours has been very usefully exercised by
your
inspectors inspectors of slaughter-houses and meat in relation' to
animal food. I would recommend that you authorise mo
to give instructions to those officers to use great vigilance
with respect to the sale of fruit and vegetables, and to
seize all such as they shall judge unfit for consumption."
In the list of the mortality of the city of London ter-
minating Saturday, July 29, appear the following
" Cholera, G ; infantile diarrhoea, 5 ; infantile dysentery,
1."

The addresses of the cholera deaths are as follow:
" 9, Primrose-street, Bishops ;ate, M., 68; 27, Monkwell-
street, M. 55 ; 6, Peter's-hill, M., 51; 17, Tower-royal,
M.; 18, Beer-lane, M., 62 ; 4, Love-lane, E..stcheap, 31.,
19."

Addenda to the report
:
"In the vicinity of Harp-alley complaint is made of a
disgusting stench occasioned by the preparation of cats'
meatin a house partly occupied by parochial schools.
Regard being made to the sanitary state of the locality, I
beg to recommend that the nuisance bo forthwith stopped;
and, in ordor to this, that the inspector of the district be
directed to visit the place daily, and, on every occasion of
may putrid stink being effused in the process of cooking

CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

SANITARY MATTERS. •
At a Court held on Tuesday a long discussion took
place upon a petition from persons who are in the habit
of removing blood and offal from slaughterhouses for the
use of the sugar refiners, objecting to an order made at
the last Court to the effect that such should only be re-
moved at night. The beadle of Newgate-market was
heard on the subject of the inconvenience and annoyance
caused by the strict enforcement of the order ; and other
evidence was taken, all of which tended to show that
all parties were desirous of remedying the nuisance
caused by the matter in question being left on the pre-
mises for a length of time. An order was ultimately
issued, requiring that the offensive stuff complained of
should be removed twice in every 24 hours.
It was stated that Mr. Daw, the clerk of the court,
had been in communication with the various unions of
the city on matters! connected ;with the medical
departments, and that everything connected with sa-
nitary affairs was referred to the Medical Officer of
Health.

CITY COURT OF SEWERS.

SANITARY MATTERS.
At a Court held on Tuesday a long discussion took
place upon a petition from persona who are in the habit
of removing blood and offal from slaughterhouses for the
use of the sugar refiners, objecting to an order made at
the last Court to the effect that such should only he re-
moved at night. The beadle of Newgate-market was
herd on the subject of the inconvenience and annoyance
caused by the strict enforcement of the order ; and other
evidence was taken, all of which tended to show that
all parties were desirous of remedying the nuisance
caused by the matter in question being left on the pre-
mises for a length of time. An order was ultimately
issued, requiring that the offensive stuff complained of
should be removed twice in every 24 hours.

It was stated that Mr. Daw, the clerk of the court,
had been in communication with the -various unions of
the city on 'natters!! connected with the medical
departments, and that everything connected with sa-
nitary affairs was referred to the Medical Officer of
Health.

CHOLERA IN THE CITY.

In the report of the Medical Officer of Health ap-,
peared the following paragraph
" I very deeply regret to inform your hon. Court that
the tabular statement of the city mortality includes six
cases in which Asiatic cholera has occasioned death within
your jurisdiction ; and, from such information as is before
me, I have every reason to fear that an epidemic visita-
tion of that disease has already commenced in the metro-
polis. Should this apprehension be just, the time will
now have arrived when little further can be hoped from
those preventive sanitary measures which it lies in your
province to enforce ; the time when whatever resistance
can be offered to the disease lies rather in preventive
medical treatment, especially in well-organised arrange.that I

In the list of the mortality of the city of London ter-
minating Saturday, Jul July 29, appear the following :
" Cholera, 6 ; infantile diarrhoea, 5 ; infantile dysentery,

The addresses of the cholera deaths are as follow:

Addenda to the report :
" In the vicinity of Harp-alley complaint is made of a
disgusting stench occasioned by the preparation of cats'
meat in a honie partly occupied by parochial schools.
Regard being made to the sanitary state of the locality, I
bee, to recommend that the nuisance be forthwith stopped;
an in order to this, that the inspector of the district be
directed to visit the place daily, and, on every occasion of
any putrid stink being effused in the process of cooking

ANOTHER POACHING AFFRAY IN

DERBYSHIRE.

No sooner have we finished recording the closing act
of the late lamentable poaching affair in North Derby-
shire than we are called upon to narrate a poaching
encounter in South Derbyshire, and which, though
happily not attended with fatal consequences, was of a
most serious nature.

It appears that on Sunday evening, about six o'clock,
a party of four poachers left Derby, armed, for the pur•
pose of taking game in the preserves at Bretby Ball, ths
seat and training-quarters of Lord Chesterfield, which is
situate about nine miles from Derby, and three from
Burton. There is no doubt that the poachers had a
traitor amongst them, for Lord Chesterfield's keeper,
James Dawson, received information that they would
pay a visit on S tturday evening, and prepared accord*
ingly. About two o'clock on Monday morning Dawson
and the other keepers saw four men coming towards
them in what is called "The Philosopher's Plantation."
On seeing the keepers, one of the poachers said, "Heigh
up, lads, here they are ; go into them," and set two dogs
at the keepers; the dogs flew at the keepers, and a vol•
ley of stones were thrown at them by the poachers. The
poachers then closed in upon them, and a determined
struggle ensued. Two of the keepers, George Astle and
Samuel Baldwin, received very severe injuries. Evert
tually, after a hard conflict, three of the poachers were
secured, the fourth making his escape. On them was
found nets and bags containing four-and-a-half couple of
rabbits. After the affray two bludgeons, one marked
with blood, were picked up on the spot, both belonging
to the poachers. At eight o'clock on Monday the
prisoners were conveyed to Burton-on-Trent
o'clock,n theypolice-sta•
tion, and on Tuesday morning, at eleven
were brought up for examination at Burton-on-Trent,
and were all committed for trial.
The prisoners gave their names as William Wright,
William Wall, and Joseph Dakin.

Eiglish, on the 18th, !Jade a descent at Koling t,
on the island of Oeiel, the most important of
islands in the Gulf of Finland, opposite Livonia,
and after having destroyed four boats, which were
all they found there, they retired. Since the 23d,
the blockade of the ports in the Gulf has become
more rigorous. It is not possible for any vessel
either to enter or leave. The Customs' duties
levied on that coast annually constituted a very
important pecuniary resource for the Russian Go-
vernment, but at present they amount absolutely
to nothing. Revel is strictly blockaded by four
English vessels. On the 23d, part of the English
crews landed at Port Baltick, and demanded that
three merchant ships which were under water
should be given up to them. As it was impossible
to give them up immediately, they fixed another
day, and threatened that if not then handed over
they will burn down the town."

"ME FOUR POINTS."

The following correspondence from Vienna, of sth
inst., appears in the Breslaur Zeitung
"As to the result of his (Herr von der Pfordten'e)
exertions here, it would be too sanguine to suppose that
he has brought about a perfect understanding between
the two Powers. In this latter respect the auto-
graph letter of the King of Prussia to the Empe-
ror Franz Joseph, which was delivered by Graf Arnim
on the 3d instant, has probably been of the greatest in-
fluence. The King is understood to have again, and in
the most explicit terms, expressed his determination to
go hand in hand with Austria in the matter of the
guarantees, and is ready to undertake to threw the
whole weight of Prussia and of those States that
go with her in the Eastern question into the Austrian
scale ; that not only any attack on Austrian troops,
whether within or without the Austrian frontier shall
be regarded as an attack on Germany, but that also
, Germany and Prussia shall undertake to support Aus-
' tria even in the contingency that she should assume the
offensive—provided Austria will bind herself not to go
beyond the four points in her demands on Russia, and
employ all her influence with the Western powers, to
prevail on them not to exceed them. Persons here pro-
fess to know that Russia is now no longer indisposed to
negotiate for peace on the basis of the four points."
