TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,-At the present time it is of the utmost import-
ance that the water for domestic use should be free from
impurities. The wealthy classes, appreciating this fact,
drink filtered or distilled water, but the working man is
shut out from the advantages appertaining to the filters
ordinarily offered for sale by reason of the large sums
charged for them.
To remove this impediment, I beg to suggest the fol-
lowing economical method of constructing a filter, which
will bear comparison, as respects efficiency, with those
of a more costly character.
Purchase a large garden-pot, and place a sponge in
the aperture,. lay a few pieces of earthenware over the
interior portion of the sponge. Place over that a layer
of well-washed river-sand, about two inches deep, then
a layer of charcoal broken in small pieces, and also
well washed. Repeat the process of adding alternate
layers of sand and charcoal, until within about four
or five inches from the top, and surmount the whole by
a layer of pebbles, to prevent the charcoal rising to the
surface. This filter is rapid in execution, and will be
found to produce pure water. The expense may be
thus stated :
Garden-pot
Charcoal
Sponge
River-sand

I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Oct. 14, 1353. IL L. B.

THE YELLOW FEVER IN BERMUDA.

Never perhaps since these islands have been a nriilitary
station have packets left them with such a mass of
dreadful information as the two last—information • -which
will spread far and wide the cry of sorrow, anguish, or
despair through that home, the return to which is a }ways
the bright spot in the dim future of all British soldiers
and sailors while serving abroad.
At this moment we are without a governor, so rapid
have been the strides of the destroyer, and a major of
less than six months' seniority as such, is the commander
of the forces. We may hope that every day will im-
prove the condition of affairs by bringing cooler weather,
though the disease at present would appear only to be
checked from want of victims to attack.

From Sept. Ist to the 22nd inclusive, the deaths Id
St. George's were 210. The following is a list of deaths
of officers and family :—Colonel Phillpotts, R.E. ; Lieut.-
Colonel Rohe, R.A. ; Captain Hare, 56th, and wife ;
Lieut. Woodford, 56th ; Assistant-Surgeon Lawson,
56th ; Ensign Thackary, 56th ; L. Nash, Ordnance
Storekeeper, and daughter ; H. Tapp, Ordnance Clerk ;
G. Houghton, Clerk of Works, Royal Engineers, wife,
son, and daughter ; Lieut. W. Whitmore, Royal En-
gineers, and wife.
On the Ist of September there were about 230 convicts
and officers on board the Thames. Of the above seven-
eighths have been attacked ; 9 guards and 76 convicts
have died.

T.HE CHOLERA

(From the General Board of Health.)
STOCKTON.

The great and continued mortality in Garden-place
has struck the survivors in this locality, and in 'the
neighbouring streets and courts with panic ; many of
the inhabitants have fled precipitately— some to places in
neighbouring
tives.

been obtained, but 41 men, women, and children, have
taken refuge in the schools attached to the union work-
house, and up to this time not one of them has suffered
in the least. One family obstinately refused to remove
—the child had just died ; earnest warning was given
that another child would, in all human proba-
bility, be seized, unless instantly removed. No
persuasion was of any avail. The same night
this child was attacked, and died the following
day. Again the survivors were urged to remove, still
they refused ; the next day the mother was seized and
died on the day following. At length the forlorn widower
consented tQ abandon the disease-haunted tenement, but
not until another poor boy had been stricken down with
so severe an attack of premonitory diarrhoea that it was
necessary to take him to the infirmary. The measures
carried into operation appear to have had a decided
effect in checking the progress of the epidemic, though
it is breaking out in South Stockton and some other
parts of the town ; but, by the thinning of the popula-
tion, their removal to the House of Refuge, and the
constant visitation of the affected localities by five medi-
cal visitors any great development of the disease appears
for the present, at least, to be prevented.

The district medical officers, who have made a house

of the prevalence of diarrhoea, have returned as the re-
sult of their first day's visitation, 86 cases.

during the present outbreak has been 1,488. In the
same period (viz., the first 43 days) during the prey&
lence of epidemic cholera there in 1831-2, the number
of deaths was 284.

in his professional labours. He only lived 14 hours
after his seizure.
BEDLINGTON, Oct. 13.—Cholera, 1.

We derive from other sources the following items of
information on the subject of cholera :
The Committee of the Sdamen's Hospital Society have
issued a placard addressed to all captains of ships and
seamen generally, earnestly exhorting all captains to
send every seaman, on the first symptom of diarrhoea
appearing, on board the Hospital Ship, Devonshire,
lying near the Dreadnought, off Greenwich, which is
set apart solely for immediate attention to such cases,
and where admission is freely given at any hour. The
Metropolitan Dispensary, Fore-street, Cripplegate, has
suspended the rule requiring a letter of recommendation
with reference to poor persons suffering from diarrhoea,
cholera, or other bowel complaints, who may therefore
obtain medicine and advice at all times upon application
at the dispensary.

STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of this day.)
LEEDS, Oct. 14.—There is nothing in the state of ttja,
woollen cloth market this week that requires any Pie,Pie,ti,
cular notice. It continues unsettled and lanVill
There was a slight improvement in the coloured bio,
on Saturday, but the white market was flat and d of
On Tuesday, there was a very slender attendane!
~0
merchants in both the cloth halls, and the transactie;,
were kept within a very limited compass. Prices vio
easier. There have been very few buyers in the
this week, arid the trade in the warehouses has been
and quiet.
HUDDERSFIELD, Oct. 11.—The market has been 1310
quiet again to-day,ibut more business has been done Slibe
last week. Numerous inquiries have been made c„" 0;
manufacturers for heavy goods suitable for the 00011
winter, but transactions have been confined to very °lla
purchases, as there appears to be a general impre°°o
that goods will be lower in price after the forthecoP
London wool sales. or#
ROCHDALE, Oct. 10.—We have had a decidedly,livre
market today than that of the previous Monday. .•`'
is no disposition on the part of the merchants to blid
present. The wool market has also been slack,
prices may be quoted a shade easier. sot
HALIFAX, Oct. B.—There are no signs of improv.elfor
in any of the branches of trade connected with this t of
ket : the indisposition to do business on the P3r•GO
d
buyers seems rather increased than otherwise, an
ore
incline to be weaker both in wool and manufactod
Quotations for combing wools are very irregular ; 163,
vary in the article of middle wethers from 150. to rica'
per lb., but nothing can be done at the latter Pbori
There is some little reduction, too, in tho value of '3
wool.

HUNGARIAN PROMENADE CONCERTS.

If numbers and a warm appreciation of each musical
novelty presented at the Royal Marionette Theatre be a
proof of the estimation in which these concerts are held
by the public, and of the merit of the performances, then
may we with confidence assert that last night was a great
success. The same precision and effect which has been
so often the subject of praise on former occasions wag
equally remarkable, equally apparent in the selection
from Lombardi, in Jullien's " American Quadrille," and
in the " Cuckoo Galop," by the Hunga,iian Band. Of
the operatic selection (Meyerbeer) arranged to include
the Brothers Distin, with solos for Herr Horanyi, we
must speak in terms of warm commendation. It was a
performance the spirit and truthfulness of which was
marked by unmistakeable applause from all parts of the
house. We would not omit to mention the efforts of
Miss Julia Warman in terms of high praise—her fantasia
"I Puritani," and " We're a' noddin," being responded
to by a universal encore. We have no doubt the present
success is only a forerunner of the future, as the price of
the entertainment is within the reach of all classes.

SURREY.

A denser multitude never assembled within the walls
of this favourite transpontine theatre than was seen last
night, when the new pantomime of King Muffin or Hart-
quin Heartcake and the Fairies of the Glow-worm Glade
was presented to a delighted audience. The pantomime
is written and illustrated by Alfred Crowquill, whose
graceful pencil has been employed in designing dresses,
masks, and decorations ; and as the costumes are new
and brilliant, and the scenes by Phillips and Dalby
are beautifully painted, the inhabitants of the Sur-
rey side of the water have an opportunity of admir-
ing the fairy-like scenes and elegancies of the Ly-
seum reproduced with suitable changes to adapt
them to the less aristocratic atmosphere of the Sur-
rey. Harlequina and Columbine were gracefully re-
presented by Miss G. Gunniss and Miss E. Gun-
niss, two excellent premieres danseuses. Harlequin
was personated by M. Alexandre, Pantaloon by Mr
Bradbury, and Sprite by Signor Remolino. Mr.
Doughty was an effective Clown. The pantomimic scenes
of course presented .the audience with a phase of the
Eastern question. Bruin out upon his travels meets a
live turkey, which he seizes, embraces, and is about to
devour, when John Bull and a French National Guard
interpose between him and his prey. A chorus of indig-
nant byestanders also assail the voracious animal with
groans and sibillations, and Bruin sneaks off expdsed and
discomfited. Among the other hits at the follies and
topics of the day, were the rage for Cochin China fowls,
which hatched under the superintendence of Clown and
Pantaloon, were big enough to be harnessed to a coach
and run off with it. The pantomine concluded with a
tableau, which, at a very late hour sent home every one
n good humour with the liberality and enterprise of
Messrs. Shepherd and Creswick.

We understand, says the Worcester Herald, that Sir
J. Pakington has finally declined to undertake the
charge of the Manchester and Salford Education Bill in
the ensuing session of Parliament. We hear that the
Right Hon. Baronet was unable to concur in the views
of the committee as to the religious instructions to be
given in schools built out of the rates in poor districts
and therefore unconnected with any particular religious
denomination.
WARLIKE PRECAIITIONS.—We understand that almost
every infantry regiment now stationed in Ireland are
under orders for foreign service, whilst orders have been
sent to every corps at home, cavalry and infantry, to
have the whole of their subalterns examined as to their
eligibility and fitness for promotion. This savours much
of 2d battalions, and 10 troops a cavalry regiment.—

ADELPIII.

At this house the performances commenced with the
popular drama of The Thirst of Gold, which proved far
more acceptable to a holyday audience than the dull and
tedious plays, such as Jane Shore, The Stranger, or George
Barnwell, with which managers were wont to excite the
tempers of their more exalted patrons on "Boxing
night," and whet their appetites for the anxiously-
expected Christmas piece.

Eschewing alike burlesque (which might have proved
a better venture), and the almost worn-out entertain.
ment of pantomime, the management of the Adeiphi
reverted to the repertoire of fairy tales, and there found
materials for a new " magic spectacle," entitled Num-
ber Nip, and the Spirit Bride. The p'ot is certainly
not remarkable for simplicity, nor would it be an easy
task to trace the progress of the story through all
its complications ; but the main feature of the piece
is the hostility existing between the Gnomes and the
Sylphs, which, according to stage usage, involves the
happiness of some couples of mortals. The result is
that Count Rudolph von Wolfenstein (Miss Wool-
gar) is happily united to his foster sister Ida (Miss
Mary Keeley), while Fritz (Mr. James Rogers) receives
the hand of Bertha (Miss Emma Harding) a pert and
pretty waiting maid. The King of the Gnomes was as
absolute and exacting a sovereign as he could be made
by Mrs. Keeley, and Madame Celeste sustained most
gracefully the part of the Sylph Estella, the guardian
angel of the lovers, who assumes various disguises to
subvert the machinations of the Gnome. Paul Bedford,
as a swaggering pirate, who bears in mind the trite pro-
verb, that "the better part of valour is discretion," corn_
manded, of course, his full share of applause from an
Adelphi audience. The piece is admirably put upon the
stage. The scenes of the charcoal burner's hut in the
Hartz mountains, a view by the seashore, and a repre-
sentation of an eastern slave market, are most creditable
to Messrs. Pitt and Turner, by whom they have been
painted and arranged. Several incidental dances are
introduced in the course of the spectacle, and in one of
them La Tauromachie, a Terpsichorean representation of
a Spanish bullfight, Madame Celeste made a decided hit,
and was enthusiastically applauded. The last scene, re-
presenting "the emancipation of the Gnome and apo-
theosis," is very brilliant, and will show to still greater
advantage when the machinery is brought into good
working order.

ASTLEY'S.

The combination of the " Wise Elephants," the "In-
comparable scenes of the circus," and the new Christ-
mas pantomime, both comic and equestrian, brought to-
gether inch an assemblage of spectators last night that
the theatre was scarcely big enough to hold them, and
numbers went away disappointed. There was, indeed,
an " overflowing" audience, and an uproarious one to
boot. The first two parts of the entertainment never-
theless went off well, and the patience of the "gods"
remained unruffled from 7 o'clock till a quarter past
10, at which hour the pantomime, by no means a short
one, commenced.

Billy Button's Journey to Brentforel at once suggests
a subject eminently fitted for humorous treatment. In
the hands of an experienced workman like Mr. Nelson
Leo it was not surprising that 'all should have been made
out of it that was possible. The opening burlesque, the
fairy introduction excepted, is one of the most amusing
that has been seen for years. An equestrian panto-
mime being essential at "Old Astley's," out of two
subjects John Gilpin and Billy Button, both
especially equine the latter is selected. Billy
Button, and his misfortunes on his way to Brent-
ford election, are treated with infinite felicity. The
principal character in the burlesque is that
represented by the horse, who may also, without detri-
ment to the other performers, be pronounced to have
been the best actor, The demon of mischief could not
have been more piquantly impersonated. The mishaps
of the wretched Button, who, mounted on his four-
footed tormenter, or thrown from his back, amid the
jeers of the bystanders, presented an equally ludicrous
appearance, were followed, one after another, by screams
of laughter and applause that shook the roof. All the
personages in the burlesque were extremely well por-
trayed. The principal Clown (Mr. C. Adams) is very
good—not merely active, which is not absolutely neces-
sary in a clown, but funny, which is indepensable. The
Pantaloon (Mr. Lehmann) accepts a great variety of
knocks, thumps, and other unintentional insults, with
undisturbed equanimity ; the Harlequin (Mr. Hem-
mings) is nimble enough, and the Columbine !(Made.
moiselle Christine) is young, well looking, agile, and a
good dancer, matters of no small importance.in the
general interest of the harlequinade. The pantomime
was thoroughly successful, and will doubtless have a
run.
