WARKWORTH.

Dr. Gavin, in company with the Poor-law inspector
of the district, Mr. Hurst, visited this town on the 12th,
in order to arrange with the board of guardians the
measures rendered imperatively necessary by an out-
break of the epidemic.
GATESHEAD AND NEWCASTLE.
The epidemic, though kept in check and deprived of
its force, still lingers in its favourite haunts, in these
towns, and unremitted vigilance is still required in
watching it. Twelve deaths from cholera and one from
diarrhcea were registered in Gateshead on the 10th, and
the visitors discovered in NeWcastle on the 11th 125
new cases of diarrhcea and three approaching cholera.
Additional information, illustrative of the intensity of
the localising causes in both these places, continues to
be received. All observers concur in representing the
physical and moral degradation produced by residence in
the worst districts of Newcastle, and by the habits en-
gendered in its dens of filth and squalor, as strongly de-
picted on the countenances of the people and characterising
their conduct. "I was much struck," says a competent
witnese, " with the manifest effects of the pestilence
upon the countenances of the people. Some attacked
with diarrhcea, and others not so attacked, had all the
marks of extreme terror, and would have grasped at
anything to save themselves, except leaving their
wretched abodes. On the other hand, there weremauy,
even in the houses where the disease was most busy,
who seemed to treat the matter with indifference and
scorn. This was the case with both young and old, and
their whole conduct was an exemplification of the words,
" Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die. '

METROPOLIS.

Mr. Hall, of the Poor•law Board, and Dr. Milroy,
medical superintending inspector of the General Board
of Health, had interviews yesterday with the boards of
guardians of Lewisham and St. Olave's, Southwark,
with reference to the adoption of precautionary measures
for the preservation of the public health. In each in-
stance the guardians appointed their medical officers to
be sanitary inspectors of their respective districts
'during the existence of the Order in Council putting in
force the extraordinary powers under the Nuisances Re-
moval and Diseases Prevention Act. Two deaths from
cholera have been reported this day to the Board of
Health, by Mr. Yardley, of the Metropolitan Police
Office.

CAPTURE O 7 001 A BANKRUPTY. WITH ABOVE
01

yesterday morning intelligence was received by the
firm of Messrs. Ashurst and Son, solicitors, of the Old
Jowly, of the capture of Michael Thomas Stacey Welsh,
at Southampton, under the following circumstances :
Some years ago Welsh was made a bankrupt upon the
petition of Messrs. White,
Son, and Co., wholesale ware-
housemen, 108, Cheapside, but he had pieviously dis-
posed of his stock, (to., as a draper, which business be
had carried on in the town of Romford in Essex. He
absconded, and in due course was proclaimed an outlaw,
and nothing more was heard of him until about three
weeks or a month ago. From information then received
by some of the very clever London " detectives" it was
ascertained that Welsh, after his bankruptcy, had gone
to Dieppe, and finally made Australia his place of refuge.
Here he became a dealer in gold, and was so successful as
to amass above 8,0001. He returned to England about a
month since in the Indus, having travelled by the overlaid
route. He visited the metropolis, having a large sum
in his possession, and he was " tracked" with great in-
genuity from place to place by the " detectives." He
gave champagne dinners and suppers at the Tavistock,
the Saracen's Plead, and other first-rate hotels • and his
lavishness to the employe., impeded in no small dep.*
the officers in eliciting information. A satisfactory clue
was at length obtained to his movements, and Mr. John
B. Walker (of the eminent firm of Boyd and Co.,
Friday-street), one of the trade assignees under the
bankruptcy, proceeded on (Wednesday) last night to
Southampton, and found that Welsh had taken a berth
on board the Hermisne, lying in those dots. Mr.
Walker succeeded in effecting the capture of Welsh,
when it was found that he was possessed of above 7,0001.
in gold and other property. This morning Russell, a
detective officer, was dispatched with a warrant, signed
by Mr. Commissioner Evans, to bring the delinquent up
to London, with the view to his committal to Newgate.
Of course, all the creditors under the bankruptcy will
now obtain their debts in full.
