ARBROATH.

An important fatal case of cholera has occurred in this
town, in the person of a married woman, who had been
in Dundee for some days in attendance upon several of
her friends, who there had been labouring under the
dis ease, and of whom no fewer than four had died within
the space of four days. The woman returned to this
town on Friday the 28th, very much exhausted, was im-
mediately seized with cholera, and died on Saturday
evening, the 29th, at nine o'clock. Since the above,
returns have been
,received stating that the husband and
daughter of this woman have also died of cholera in the
same house. Active measures appear to have been
taken by the authorities of this town for the removal of
nuisances, and otherwise providing for a visitation of
cholera.

A tabular statement of the total number of cases of
choleraic disease discovered by the house-to-house sys-
tem of visitation, and the total number of deaths result-
ing in the above town, during the five weeks ending
0 ot. 25, shows that the proportion of deaths to cases
was—in the first week, 1. death in 10 cases ; second
week, 1 death in 19.5 cases ; third week, 1 death in 32.7
cases ; fourth week, 1 death in 30.7 cases ; fifth week, 1
death in 52.7 cases.

TROPOLIS.
Returns made by the superintendents of the D, E, K,
M, P, and R divisions to the Metropolitan Police Com-
.missioners' enumerate 17 cases of cholera (8 resulting
fatally) as having occurred between the 27th and 31st of
October. In several instances death ensued after very
short illness. Thus, in one, it followed only 7 hours
after seizure. In a third instance, the patient died in
81 hours. In another in 12, and in another in 14 hours
after attack. Absence of sanitary precautions was the
predisposing cause.
HOLBORN UNION.—Mr. Grainger has been recently
engaged in a re-examination of the present state of some
of the notorious seats of fever in this district, in which
the danger of the outbreak of cholera appeared to be
imminent.
ST. GEORGE'S EAST (MIDDLESEX).—Three eases of
cholera are reported to-day from-this parish, two having
resulted fatally. Both these latter instances are recorded
as being of a very bad type of the disease, and both
occurred in the same house, in Grove-street, one on the
ground-floor, the other on the third storey. The street
is "unpaved in the centre, and the house dirty.'

change, and disappeared after having appropriated to
his own uses various sums of money with which he had
been entrusted for the purchase of shares, stock, &c. It
was known, too, that several aldermen held petitions
against the accused, and much interest had been excited
by the reports about the Stock Exchange upon the
subject.

Mr. r. Ireni—TSVWell, sumug,oae-i-, of the court,
having been sworn, stated' that he had left'a copy of
the order of the court at the house of the brother of
Mr. Le Grand on Saturday last, haiingilyeen unable to
find that Mr. W. Le Grand, whOse conduct was under
consideration, had any place of residence at the present
time.
The facts of the case are contained in the following
petition of Mr. rienry Earle Lovell of 8, Clarence-
street, Old Kent-road, house decorator
" Showeth—That your petitioner, having received
a distributive share of a legacy in right of his wife,
amounting to upwards of 4001., wished to invest
the same in the funds, and, on the let day of Sep-
tember last, went, accompanied by his brother,
Mr. John Lovell, to the office of Mr. William Le
Grand, a sworn broker of your honourable court, No. 9,
Tokenhousoiard; Lothbury, and stated to him that
your petittoner wished to purchase 4001. Three•and-a
Quarter per cent. Stock ; that he told your petitioner
the price of some would be 4001. 195., and your peti-
tioner handed over the desk to the said Mr. Le Grand's
clerk, in the presence of Mr. Le Grand and of your peti-
tioner's said brother,- the sum of 4051. 10s. in bank-
notes
and gold, and thereupon received the following
acknowledgement :

" ' [Memorandum.]

" London, Sept. 1, 1853.
"Mr. H. E. Lovell left with me 405/. 10s.,for 4001.
Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
"WILLIAM LE GRAND, Sworn Broker.
"`9, Tokenhouse-yard, Lothbury, London.'
"That Mr. Le Grand then stated to your petitioner
that he would send on to him the Stock receipt.
"That he not having done so, in about a week after-
wards your petitioner called at No. 9, Tokenhouse-yard,
to require his transfer to be given to him, when the
clerk stated that Mr. Le Grand was out of town. Your
petitioner called again some days after, and the clerk
then stated that the purchase had not been made, and
the books being then closed the purchase could not
then be made, but that when the Stocks re-opened Mr.
Le Grand would purchase the same, and allow your
petitioner interest in the meantime.
"That your petitioner, having called several times
'at O. 9, Tokenhouse-yard, without seeing Mr. Le
Grand, or obtaining any satisfactory result, wrote Mr.
Le Grand a letter requesting the money to be returned,
but to which your petitioner received no reply. On
calling at the office on Tuesday morning last, your peti-
tioner saw again there the clerk, who stated that the
office was no longer Mr. Le Grand's, that a Mr. Le
Mark had taken it, and that he (the clerk) was no
longer Mr. Le Grand's clerk, but Mr. Le Mark's clerk.
" That your petitioner then made inquiries at the
Bank of England, and found the money had not been

invested, and has been informed that the said William
Le Grand has been declared a defaulter at the' Stock
Exchange, and is absent from this country.
" Your petitioner having been informed that the office
of broker is in the gift of your honourable court, and
that previously to admitting any person to such office it
is the practice of your honourable court to take sufficient
sureties for the true and faithful discharge of his duty as
broker, your petitioner humbly prays that your honour-
able court will be pleased to grant him such relief in the
matter as to your honourable court may seem meet."
The petitioner was examined, and declared all the
statements set forth in the petition to be true.
'Alderman SALMONS said as the petition showed, be-
yond the possibility of a doubt, that a gross breach of
trust had been committed by the broker, he thought the
court would not helloing its duty if it did not instruct
the City Solicitor to take steps for the purpoe of com-
pelling Mr. he Grand to restore the 4,00 r, 10s. to Mr.
Lovell, and, in -the event of failure in this quarter, to
proceed against the two sureties for the amount. (Hear,
hear.) He moved, therefore, that the City Solicitor be
instructed to takd immediate steps for the recovery of
the money. (Hear, hear.)
The motion having been seconded by Alderman
COPELAND, was carried' unanimously.
Sir R. W. CARDEN presented another petition with
reference to the conduct of the same individual, • stating
circumstances of another case of plunder, and moved
that it be read, and the usual. steps taken.
This, after some discussion, was agreed to, and the
petition was read., It was from Mr. James Lightfoot,
retailer of beer, 18, Wellesley-street, St. Pancras, who
had been defrauded of 2751. 15s. 6d. in the Three per
Cents., which he had authorised Le Grand to sell out
with a view to invest them in other securities.
Mr. Alderman Copeland presented another petition
against the same party from Henry Humpheries, of
No. 18, St. Mary's-hill, in:the city of London, who had
lost more than 5001. in a similar manner. The petition
concluded thus :--
"That your petitioner has been informed that by the
Act of 7th and Bth Geo. IV., chap. 29, sec. 49, it is pro-
vided as follows :---` And for the punishment of embezzle-
ments committed by agents entrusted with (property, be
it enacted, that if any money, or security for the pay-
ment of money, shall be entrusted to any broker, banker,
merchant, attorney, or other agent, with any direction
in writing to apply such money, or any part thereof, or
the proceeds, or any part of the proceeds of such secu-
rity, for any purpose specified in such direction, and he
shall, in violation of good faith, and contrary to the pur-
poses so specified, in anywise convert to his own use or
benefit such money, security, or proceeds, or any part
thereof respectively, every such offender shall be guilty
of a misdemeanour, and being convicted thereof shall be
liable, at the discretion 'of the court, to be transported
beyond the seas for any term not exceeding fourteen
years, or to suffer such other punishment by fine or im-
prisonment, or by both, as the court shall award.
"That in consequence of the severe loss which your
petitioner will suffer in consequence of the above trans-
action, lie is unable to incur the expenses which a
criminal prosecution under the above statute will entail.
upon him, as, the offence being a misdemeanour, no
costs would be allowed.
"Your petitioner, therefore, prays that your honour-
able court will take the above statement into your con-
sideration, and be pleased to adopt proceedings against
the said William Le Grand under the above statute, or
grant your petitioner such relief in the matter as to
your honourable court should seem meet under the cir-
cumstances"
Alderman COPELAND believed the petitioner was cor-
rect in stating that the act of Parliament applied to the
case, and he moved accordingly that the City Solicitor
be instructed to proceed upon the clause referred to.
Sir PETER LAURIE seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
Sir PETER LAURIE then informed the Court that he
had a petition to present which, although he apprehended
the offence alleged in it was not so severely punishable
as was that described in Mr. Ilumphexies' complaint,
represented a more serious calamity to the unfortunate
persons concerned. It was a brief but most impressive
and affecting account of the plunder committed upon a
poor woman and her husband, written by themselves.
The Town Clerk then read the following petition,
which caused a great sensation :
" Central-hill, Norwood, Oct. 31, 1853.
"The humble petition of Philip Newberry, and Ann,
his wife, of Norwood, in the county of Surrey,
"Humbly sheweth—That William Le Grand, stock-
broker, of No. 9, Tokenhouse-yard, in the city of Lon-
don, did receive of your petitioners, on or about the 17th .
of May; the sum of 1,002/. 10s. to purchase an annuity
for our joint lives, being all our hard earnings ; and, to
i our great surprise and affliction, when, on going to the
Annuity-office to receive our dividend, we discovered
there was no money paid in.

THE ARCTIC REGIONS.—There is a very general im-
pression in naval circles, that the discovery of the North
Passage by Captain M'Clure will be followed up next
year by the despatch of two steamers, the Phoenix and
another of about equal power. When two steamers pro-

soon as it is otherwise liable to do when there is only
one vessel, and consequently it is much safer to proceed
when two are employed instead of one. The officers
and crews of both vessels would also have more con-
fidence when entering unexplored channels, when two
vessels are near to each other, owing to the hope that
there would be one to fall back upon, in the event of
any unforeseen accident occurring to the other. The ice
of the Arctic regions is the accumulation of ages, and it
is surprising the small thickness that is formed in some
years, and certainly not to such an extent as would
render it difficult for steam-vessels to keep a passage open
by repeatedly breaking through the newly-formed ice,
and the further the vessels proceed beyond the true mag-
netic pole the warmer the water is found to prevail, and
it requires a remarkably low state of temperature to form
ice on the surface on the deepest parts of the Polar Seas.
Sonic remarkably fine lava was brought home by the
officers of the Plncuix, from Bank's Land, fir finer and
closer than the porous pumice-stone of the lava of Mount
Etna. The plunibago is also of a fine description, and a
number of mineral stones from Melville Island, are re-
markably heavy ; whatever may be the nature of the metal
of which they are composed, and appear to be worthy
of being investigated as to their value, as they migl.t
be found worthy of becoming a subject of corntnercibl
enterprise. It is singular that none of the officers in ti e
Phoenix, or of the vessels of the Arctic expeditions, now
in the far northern regions, had seen the comet which
visited this sphere during the present year, and ihiy
were unaware of its existence until their return home.

ARTHUR MORGAN, Actttry. proximity of the opposing armies are taken into
consideration. But if otherwise—if a battle has
taken place, what will be the result ? That is,
indeed, an important and a difficult question to
answer, but from the best consideration we can
bestow on the subject, we are inclined to think
that it would not affect the peace for which both
are anxious. If the advantage remained with the
Russians (which GOD forbid, for theirs was the
aggression, and they are the parties responsible
for all the mischief), NICHOLAS would be glad of
the opportunity of displaying a spurious affecta-
tion of magnanimity of obtaining a plausible ar-
gument on which to rest his claim to moderation.
If, on the other hand, it was favourable to the
Ottoman troops, the difficulty and dangers
.of the Russian position might induce a
settlement, more particularly as it could
be urged that the collision was owing to the im-
patience of the army, and not to the orders of the
Government—and that terms which had previ-
ously been acceptable, should not be rejected in
consequence of a casualty for which the diplo-
matists on either side could not be responsible.
It was generally credited, some time ago, that
NICHOLAS would overlook a chance encounter, if
it took place while arrangements were pending.
We believe he would do so likewise on the present
occasion, if any such event should occur—that the
prospects of peace, although endangered, would
not be thereby forfeited.
In the above, we have merely given our views
as to the course of events. For ourselves, we are
satisfied that a decisive conflict in which the pride
and power of the Russian were broken, would be
best calculated to insure the tranquillity of Europe
and of the civilised world.

The Great Irish Experiment has been brought
to a conclusion. The most sanguine anticipations
of those engaged in carrying it into operation
mist have been fully and completely satisfied.
From the opening to the closing of the Great In
dustrial Exhibition of 1853 the gratification has
been without drawback or alloy. There was no
failure on any side—nothing that could have
caused a momentary regret to those who had de-
voted their time and money to insure its success
.—that success which was so well merited and so
unequivocally achieved. It must have been a
proud moment for the men whose indomitable
energies and indefatigable efforts had so eminently
conduced to these auspicious results when they
witnessed the auspicious termination of their la-
bours. It must have been a time of unmingled
happiness to WILLIAM DARGAN and CUSACK
PATRrOK RONEY, the heroes par excellence
of the day, the champions of the peaceful
triumph, when the acclamations of the sur-
rounding multitudes hailed the ceremonies
that testified the closing of the gorgeous scene,
and the disposal of the innumerable and varied
treasures that had been collected within the walls,
through the boundless liberality of DARGAN, and
the übiquitive activity and persuasive eloquence
of RONEY. Still greater must hav:e been the joy
when the accolade of honour bestowed on the
latter, and the command to arise " Sir CUSACK
PATRICK RONEY," conferred thenceforth an endur-
ing memorial of the glories of the day. That
was no ordinary title—no common-place tribute.
It differed materially, in all its attributes, from
the knighthood bestowed on the bearer of a loyal
address, or on the wealthy and thriving chief
magistrate of a corporation. It stands alone, on
the chivalrous rolls, for having been received on
the very spot where it had been so meri-
toriously earned, and at the moment when
a bloodless victory lead crowned the exer-
tions of the recipient. In the olden time a ban-
neret—a knight dubbed on a field of stricken
battle, while the Royal standard floated triumph-
antly over his head—was accorded precedence over

1 the other knights-companions of his order. Surely
Sir CUSACK PATRICK RONEY is entitled to similar
pre-eminence, as being dubbed in the gorgeous
halls of the Exhibition. The moment when the
business for which they had been erected, having
been most satisfactorily concluded, they were
about to be closed for ever, unless, Phoenix like,
they should arise from their ashes, to be devoted
to purposes of more permanent utility, connected
with that which has passed away for ever.

Few men have done so much to elevate the
character of their common country as DARGAN
and RONEY —to remove the erroneous im-
pressions and unfounded prejudices that exist in
this country against Ireland and the Irish. Each
had acquired esteem, respect, and station by the
honourable and efficient discharge of onerous and
important duties. Each had won golden opinions
from all with whom he had been in any way con-
nected. The most narrow-minded and shallow-
pated promulgator of the notice that "No Irish
need apply" for any situation within his power,
could not have objected to men who combined the
Anglo-Saxon steadiness, perseverance, and in-
tegrity with Irish enthusiasm, energy, and
spirit. But they were regarded as exceptions to
the general rule, and the bias against the
great body of their countrymen still prevailed.
It was reserved for them to prove, on the most
conclusive testimony, that the imputations cast
upon the Irish name were totally unwarranted,
as inaccurate in fact as they were ungenerous and
illiberal. It was said that no reliance could
be placed on Irish punctuality ! The Ex-
hibition was opened on the appointed day,
notwithstanding difficulties and impediments
that might have appalled the stoutest heart.
It was also closed at the stipulated time,
despite most pressing applications, the most
temptin-
inducements to continue open just a
leetle
longer, to have some three or four more
" last weeks," and thus to afford loiterers an op-
portunity
and
of
inspecting the extraordinary collec-
tion, to raise ac surplus fund to be devoted to
national purposes
commemorative of the national
triumph. Every appeal,
oshow
of however urgent, was
desirable t
rejected. It was
punctu-
ality and steadfastness and determination that
pur-
pose were Irish as well as English virtues, and
that nothing whatsoever, although most flattering
to the parties themselves, could divert them from
the course they had previously chalked out, or
induce them to alter the decision they had de-
liberately arrived at. It is needless
to say how
ample and indisputable are the proofs that have
been given on this point.
Again, it was asserted that confidence could not
safely be reposed in Irish workmen. How com-
pletely has the calumny been rebutted by the
conduct of the hands employed in erecting and
fitting up the building, under the control and
direction of WILLIAM DARGAN. An opportunity
was afforded, of which advantage might have been
taken, to extort higher wages—to secure almost
any terms they pleased from their employer.
They were well aware of the importance of des-
patch—that nothing in reason which they pleased
to demand would have been refused. But they
violated no faith, put forward no unusual or un-
reasonable claims, asked for no advance in wages,
no shortening of the hours of labour—they acted
like men who knew that the interests of master
and workmen were one and indivisible, and who,

hiseach in
the
successdistin cot
f department,th
onthat think
s
individual exertions. They well deserved the
the
seemeddepended
credit they have obtained frcm the community
at large, the friendship and esteem they have
won from their master.
The collection itself exhibited in the strongest
light the boundless natural resources of the Sister
Kingdom, and the extraordinary skill of her
children in the various branches of industry, in
which they had embarked a degree of skill which
induces us to wonder that Ireland has not long
since assumed a high rank among manufacturing
countries. We may deplore the causes that have
prevented the full development of her resources,
but it is shown that these causes no longer exist,

or at least that they can be speedily and easily
overcome. The path to prosperity is clearly
pointed out. WILLIAM DA RGAN and CUSACK
PATRICK RONEY have removed the impediments,
and indicated the course to be pursued, and rege-.
nerated Ireland will hereafter have cause to bless
the experiment adventured. on and successfully
carried out through the liberality and energy of
two of her most worthy sons.
