BEDLINGTON.-Dr. Gavin, after a careful inspection
of this place, is declared to have expressed a decided
opinion that the local authorities might remove most of
the nuisances from which the town chiefly suffers, by
instituting arrangements for the removal, at the public
expense, daily, or thrice weekly, of all the house refuse
of the inhabitants.

METROPOLIS.-Mr. Hall, of the Poor-law Board, and
Dr. Milroy, from the General Board of Health, had in-
terviews on Friday with the board of guardians of
Whitechapel and St. George's-in•the-East. In both in-
stances the board of guardians, recognising the necessity
of a thorough and systematic correction and abatement
of whatever may be injurious to health, and likely to
engender disease, as far as their powers under the exist-
ing Order in Council enable them to do, resolved to ap-
point their medical officers to act as sanitary inspectors
of their different districts.
It is much to be desired that not only all the metro-
politan parishes, but that every parish throughout the
kingdom should act upon. the same plan, viz., that of
throwing the responsibility of a complete sanitary,
inspection, and of a vigilant supervision of the pub-
lic health of the respective districts, on the already exist-
ing staff of parochial officers. A death from cholera
occurred on the 12th in Charlotte-court, Whitechapel ;
the patient, seven years of age, was collapse when first
seen by the attendant, and survived only five boars.
Another case occurred on the morning of the 14th in
another part of the parish. Within the last two or
three weeks there has been an increase of bowel com-
plaints in one of the medical districts of Whitechapel,
and also in parts of St. George's-in-the-East.

ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN ITALY.—The Giornale di I
Roma of the 4th announces that the electric telegraph,
which already extends from Rome to Bologna and
Modena, is to be continued to Terracina, there to meet
the Neapolitan wires ; so that Naples, Rome, Bologna,
and Modena will form but one uninterrupted line.
SILK DIITY.—The duty on silk last year amounted to
222,936/. This was one of the duties brought before
the Chancellor of the Exchequer at Manchester.
SPIRIT DIITIES.—It is shown by a recently printed
Parliamentary paper, that in the year ended the sth
January last the duty on spirits was as follows :—On
foreign, 1,477,9061, ; and on British, 6,226,736/, On
run, 1,103,5841.
