BATH, DEC. 11.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sfa,—Shortly after the Asiatic cholera appeared le
Sunderland, I wrote to the Board of Health there, gifirl
a description of the hot air bath, and recommending to
use, having (as expressed in my letter in the Bath 11!
raid) treated what I term a similar complaint in Ind's':
with similar means and the wished-for success. The
lowing extract from the Sunderland Herald dated 14°1r.
19, has been my only reply
I beg leave to remark that I have constructed an air-heati.n,‘,
apparatus, for the use of cholera patients, agreeably to the oi,
atructions kindly given me by Captain Carden, R.N., which
savers the purpose most effectually.
(Signed) " W. REID CLANNY, M.D."
Now, Sir, I do most decidedly give the preference t°
Dr. Clanny's opinion opposed to this (I suppose constr,'
apothecary) Mr. Baker, who feels determined to make ble
name and fame known to your numerous readers, by ln'Y'd
ing made a voyage to Sunderland, and back to Leeds, Of
seems as much bloated with self-knowledge of cholera at
a city Alderman is in reality after a Lord Mayor's turd'
feast ; still, perhaps, Mr. B.'s world is as much
scribed as an artisan of his own town. Forty million'
of persons have certainly fallen by the malady
question, but I have not said that I met wit:
the identical disease any where. I spoke of 01/,
general information, which I collected from ni!n4
parts of 'Europe, North and South America, All
Arabia, parts of Turkey in Asia, including Lower alt f
Upper Egypt, many parts of India, and many nation, °,
the Isles. The Board of Health at Sunderland want 001
Mr. Baker as their champion. The medical profession °,
the United Kingdom are superior to those of the wall
and will do all that human nature can effect. Nor do
yield to Mr. Balser in feeling of that respect which evert
man owes them for their unwearied zeal and devotedneo
I thank Doctor Clanny for his candour in acknowledging
my recommendation of the hot air bath, which I prosaic
to say, I have used before Mr. Baker beard of sucb ao
apparatus. I am convinced that, in most cases, it is ye!!!
superior to the tepid or vapour, and most decidedly so 'a
cases of cholera, compared to those means recommend'
by the Continental practice, such as hot-water bottle*
cataplasme, hot bricks, placing the dying patient in f
blanket to sit on a stool with a spirit lamp under, but if
too weak to perform this cruel penance, put to bed wi!'"h
board bottom (like an eel in a frying-pan), and spirit'
lamps under to heat the patient. I do pronounce
all such partial treatment not one particle more en.
lightened than that of a Chinese physician, who, t°
cure fever, places a lump of ice on the patient's chests
which effort soon makes way for the rising generation'
Every medical man who has attended cholera patients blte
asserted, that to cause a free perspiration is almost to 03'
sure a cure. Internal means only, were they even por
sible, would cause such a reaction of blood as would prof;
fatal, and certainly I do assert, that the best assistan,i
effort is the hot air bath ; the tepid and vapour are W.,
comparatively, and I further leave the public to judge P
the hot air bath was not first used at Sunderland througlt
my recommendation. I shall rejoice to hear that the
Barbadoes naptha and cajeput, mixed as I recommended'
has bad a trial also. Mr. Baker says, "It is one thing
f
to recommend and another to cure." Agreed. But
his professional practice is as thoughtless and intempera!a
as his attack on me, I do rejoice Leeds or elsewhere is ble
residence, and not Bath.

If the end of this organisation be, as the
Examiner suggests, to make safe the rejection
of the Reform Bill, it may, in that case, be
considered as really in aid of the borough-
mongers. For if householders are to unite
under the obligation of an oath for the enforce-
ment of laws—good or bad—and whether re-
spected or detested by the people—the Oligarchy
will thereby acquire a sense of security which
will give them fresh encouragement to resist the
popular will. If the Lords are made to fancy,
by the formation of such a Guard, that their
houses will be defended for them at all risks,
their obstinacy and hardihood will be so invigo-
rated, that the prospect of conversion will be
quite out of the question. The nature of the
Anti-Reformers is such, that the only argument
by which there is the least prospect of turning
them is that of fear. It is therefore to be de-
sired that they should continue under a whole-
some apprehension of the danger to their pro-
perty, of a second time defying the nation ; and
if they have a bulwark erected round them in the
establishment of this Conservative Union, the
result will be, that the people will again be dis-
appointed and duped.
It belongs to the KING, as Chief Conservator of
the peace of the country, to strengthen the arm
of the law by every means that will render it
effective in the repression of riot and sedition.
But there is as serious an objection to any such
power being vested in a National Guard inde-
pendently of the Government, as there could be
to the constabulary powers assumed by the Bir-
mingham Union—and perhaps more so—for it
would tend to widen the breach between
rich and poor—between capital and labour
—which is unhappily far broader than
would be the case in a healthy state of society.
The true policy of the wealthy in these times is
to conciliate the poorer and more numerous
classes, and to make common cause with them
in striving for those Reforms whereby our social
condition can be rendered better and happier than
it is. That spirit of destruction of property
which unhappily prevails can only be subdued by
working a change in the habitual feelings and
dispositions of the lower orders,—not by any
such Guards as Mr. BARBER BEAUMONT vainly
seeks to establish. If, on the one hand, the
multitude ought to be made to live under the
fear of the law, it is quite fitting, on the other
hand, that those who enjoy the good things of
the world should not be quite free from all ap-
prehension of the consequences of the wrath of
the people. It is wholesome for men to live
under some kind of restraint upon their actions ;
and there never was more need of the operation
of a restraint upon the rich and mighty than at
the present crisis.

We have great pleasure in directing public
attention to an account of an application made
on Saturday to the LORD MAYOR, respecting a
proposed improvement in the paddles of steam-
boats. The inventor of this improvement is a
Mr. STEVENS, who has politely submitted the
model to our inspection. From an attentive
consideration of Mr. STEVENS'S invention,
we are decidedly of opinion that its adoption
will obviate the faults now so justly complained
of against steam boats in the river. The plan is
not more simple than it promises to be
efficacious, being a substitution of three paddles
for the clumsy and self-impeding paddle-
wheels. In Mr. STEVENS'S invention there is
no back-water to arrest the progress of the ves-
sel, while the sNell in her wake, now so dan-
gerous to small craft, is entirely got rid of.
We understand the idea was first suggested to
Mr. STEVENS by the Indian paddle, which pro-
pels the canoe with so much velocity. Being
thus founded on a principle of long-established
experience, there is no doubt that the in-
vention will soon be very generally
adopted. Mr. STEVENS deserves the thanks
of the community for his invention, and
what is more, he merits their patronage to
enable. him speedily to give effect to his laudable
enterprise. We cordially wish him success.

The great county of Essex met on Saturday
on the subject of Reform. The meeting was
remarkably well attended, almost all the in-
fluential gentry and landholders of the county
being present. Every allusion to the Bishops—
and they were of necessity numerous—was re-
ceived with bitter groans and shouts of execra-
tion, and Mr. HARVEY was applauded to the
skies when he said that there could be no greater
injury to Christianity than the alliance between
Church and State, bottomed, as it was, on cor-
ruption and intrigue. Both the county Members
were of course present, and made suitable
speeches on the occasion.

We have received Le Temps French Paper
of Saturday, from which we copy the following:—

PARIS, DEC. 9.—ln consequence of the mail not
having arrived from Lyons certain reports were spread,
but a hand-bill was posted on 'Change which assured
the citizens that the mail had been upset between Autien
and Chassey. There were also reports of tumults at Bor-
deaux. This would not be astonishing after what took
place at Lyons.
Russia wishes that no other Power should take part in
the affairs of Greece, and she has accordingly embarked
troops in the Black Sea for Greece, and presumes that the
Porte will not make any obstacle on their passing the Dar-
danelles

A few &ye since about 2O workmen, employed by the
agents of the Duke d'Aumale in a wood near Chantilly,
seeing they were going to be discharged, proceeded, armed
with pickaxes and spades, to the agent, to demand work,
who assured them they :should continue their ocsupations,
when they peaceably retired.

Lord BROUGHANI remains a great favourite
with the KING, and it has been observed that even those

than Lord BROUGHAII..--. Court .Tournal.

Tax HAGUE, Dac. 7.--It appearing from official ac-
counts that the cholera has wholly ceased at Riga, Lisbon,
Milan, and Archangel, the Director-General of the Ma-
rine has ordered, by a resolution of the Qd instant, that
those places are to be considered only as suspected. All
ships arriving from them in one of the ports of this king-
dom shall be subject to a quarantine of ten days instead of
forty. Ships from the ports of Norway, north of Bergen,
to be liable to three days' quarantine only. Newcastle is

STATE OF TRADE.—We are happy to
state that there has been a marked improvement in the
demand for piece goods and yarns in thii market dur-
ing the last few days. In yarns there has been a small
improvement in price ; but we have not heard that an ad-
vance has been obtained for cloth. The general appearance
of the maket is, however, firm ; and though prices are
ruinously low, we trust that the " reaction" which has
already taken place in the demand, will soon operate upon
the prices of goods.—Manchester Herald.
THE GLOVE TRADE.—The operatives in
this business, residing in the city and neighbourhood of
Worcester, have agreed to petition the Legislature on the
depressed state of trade. They attribute a great portion
of their distress to the importation into this country of
fortign gloves, which amounts, since July, 1826, to
406,233 dozens ! They calculate, that if ,foreign gloves
were kept out of the English market, the share of business
that would fall to Worcester and its neighbourhood would
give eleven weeks' employment to the work people.—

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY. TWELVE O'CLOCK
Montreal and Quebec Papers, to the Ifth of November, have
been received atthe North and South American Coffee-house.
The Quebec Mercury contains a letter from Bay Chaleur,
slated November 24, stating that a new species of complaint is
now prevalent there, which has already carried off several indi-
viduals, particularly children. It symptoms are dysentery and
vomiting.
(From the Quebec Paper of the sth November.)
The Lady DigbY, from Liverpool to Quebec, was wrecked on
the Magdeline Islands. Out of forty steerage passengers on
board it is said that thirty-seven were drowned. The remainder
of the pasengers and part of the crew had arrived at Quebec.
The Captain, mate, and part of the crew are missing.
The following intelligence we have received by the French
mail this morning :
" Accounts from the frontiers of Poland, of the 21st November,
state by information received from Lemberg that the troops can-
toned in the kingdom of Gallicia have received considerable
reinforcements as well as heavy artillery. The cordons on the
frontiers have also been reinforced.
Private letters from Lyons to the 6th of December state that
a number of arrests have taken place there by the agents of the
police,who have conic from Paris, among which are a number of
work-people. This has caused a great fermentation.
Information from Berlin states that one of the principal condi-
tions which France has demanded for a general disarmament, is
that the most part of the Russian army in Poland should with-
draw. Prussia and Austria demand moderation in regard to all
individuals compromised in the late revolution of Poland,
France and England demand the re-establishment of the Con-
stitution for Poland given by Alexander.
TOULON, DEC. 6.—The frigate Bcllona has arrived in our
port from Navarin ; her crew states that Greece is in complete
insurrection.
LIVERPOOL, DEC. la--Sailed his Majesty's War-office
Steam-packet from Bellisle, having on board 300 volunteers, who
are gone to join the expedition of Don Pedro against Portugal.
BELLISLE, DEC. s.—The frigate Congress has arrived; we
expect every hour the remainder of the flotilla of Don Pedro.
Private letters from Amsterdam this morning state that it
was reported there that the King of Holland had refused the
new conditions offered to him by the Five Allied Powers. Dutch
funds rather lower, owing to the above report.

THE FUNDS.
Mexican and Lisbon mails have arrived; the former sailed on
12th of October from Vera Cruz, and the latter from Lisbon on
the 4th of Novemler.

By the Mexican Mail we do not hear as yet any thing of im-
portance-%
In regard to the Funds this morning, there is nothing doing in
them as yet. Consols, which left off' on Saturday at 83% X for the
account, cpened at the same price, and continue so at present.
In general the public are looking to the operations on the
Reform Bill in the House this night, as well as the debates.
The Foreign Market at present is without the least interest—
not a bargain doing.

HALF•PAST ONE.
The Funds have been during the whole of the morning in a
state of stagnation.

Consols continue at 5.334, 7/ for the Account, and every thing
appears very dull in the city at present ; all the speculatorsanxiously waiting for the debates on the Reform Bill. 'the result
of the meeting on Saturday with Earl Grey and the Tory party
is not exactly known by the citizens, but no doubt we shall be
let into the secret at the opening of the debates.
The Foreign Market is in the same situation as that of the
British.

EUGENE ARAM, BY THE AUTHOR OF

" PELHAII."-We are requested to state that this new
Novel, by Mr. BULWER, will be published, on the 20th
instant, by Messrs. COEBURN and BENTLEY, New Bur-
lington•street. The public are requested togive immediate
orders to their respective Booksellers to prevent disappoint-
ment.

The Earl of DUNDONALD (late Lord Coch-
rane) has purchased from Nuoaa, the opulent tailor,
Hanover Lodge, in the Regent's Park, nearly opposite the
pavilion of the Marquis of HERTFORD. The Earl, Lady
DUNDONALD, and their family, have recently arrived from
the Continent, and have entered upon the possession of
Hanover Lodge, which is a capacious and very convenient
mansion.

It is remarkable that the discovery which took
place some years ago, relative to an informality in the
marriage of an Irish Marquis, arose from the investigation
pursued by Lord SHAFTESBURY, on occasion of matrimo-
nial proposals tendered to his daughter by their son. The
young Nobleman in consequence withdrew his suit, and
has since formed a happy alliance with a lady of equal
rank, one of the most beautiful women in the kingdom.--
Court Journal.

O❑ Wednesday last, as some workmen were
engaged in digging chalk in a field adjoining the residence
and in the occupation of C. B. WOLLASTON, Del., they
discovered the skeletons of four human beings, one of which
appears to have been a very tall person. The teeth were
remarkably white, and quite perfect.— Sherboterne.fouretal.

More wild fowl has already appeared on th
Sussex coast than has been known for many years. Tin
among the weather-wise people is held out to augur a barn
winter. But weather-wise is sometimes found out to mean
other-wise.

Accounts, we understand, were received yes-
terday at the residence of the Duke of NEWCASTLE, in
Portman-square, from Clumber-park, in Nottinghamshire,
with intelligence that his Grace's health was materially im-
proved, and that well-founded hopes are entertained of his
speedy recovery. It appears that the malady of the Noble
Duke has not exhibited the dangerous symptoms which
have been reported, a communication in the handwriting
of his Grace having been received by his agent in town on
Friday; nor has Dr. MATox, the medical attendant of the
Duke, been called in to proceed to Clumber, where the
young Earl of LINCOLN and the Lords CLINTON are visit-
ing their noble parent.

THE ENGLISH MAIL.—THE NORTHERN
ROAD. —A numerous deputation of gentlemen and mer-
chants, from various towns situated on the northern road,
headed by that worthy and excellent Nobleman, Lora
BLANEY, waited upon Mr. GODBY, the Secretary to the
Post-office, on Friday, relative to the forwarding of the
English mail to the North, immediately after its arrival at
flowth.—We understand the deputation met with every
encouragement from Mr. GODBY ; and it is very likely
that the northern towns will be accommodated with the
English correspondence and papers from IS to 20 hoora
sooner than they have hitherto been.—Dublin MorAiny
Post.

RAILWAY ACCIDENT. —On Wednesday
morning, as the seven o'clock first class train of carriages
was proceeding from Manchester towards Liverpool, just
before they arrived at the Glaxebrook Bridge near the west
side of Chat Moss, the axle of the engine broke, and the
machine starting from the proper track was precipitated
over the embankment, whist' at that spot cannot be has
than twenty feet high. Two carriages were thrown on
their sides on the slope, the passengers in which were
obliged to find their way out through the windows. The
fourth coach remained on the top, and the third near the
top a sufficient time for the passengers to get out ; but
when this was effected, the two first carriages taking a
slide further down the slope, the last two, before they
could be supported in their position at the edge of the
embankment, fell down the slope after the others. We
are extremely happy to state, that though this accident ap-
pears alarming in its character and circumstances, no limbs
were broken, and no passenger was seriously hurt. An
overthrow down the side of an embankment was one
of the possible contingencies which persona apprehen-
sive of the risk of railway travelling have always con-
templated, and perhaps we ought to oonsider the result
of the present accident to a pertain extent satisfactory, jik.
asmuch as under the circumstances we have detailed, tbo
shock does not appear to have been so violent as is the
overthrow of a common stage coach. As as accident in
a great measure similar to the present, occurred a few
months since, owing also to the breaking of an axle, and
as it was then stated co the part of the company, that
stronger axles would without loss of time he provided,
some explanation is due to the public why this has not
been clone. On this point we are authorised to state, that
to as great an extent as practicable it has been accom-
plished. With the exception of two or three, all the en-
gines are provided with axles, the strength of which has
been encreased two-thirds. Three engine-makers at Man-
chester, and the company's :establishment at Liverpool,
have been employed to furnish them. The axle for the
engine in question would have been ready in a week, but
it may be mentioned that in three months she has run
more than 8,000 miles without any accident whatever,
and another engine with a similar axle, ran 22,000 miles
in ten months. We are farther authorised to state, that
not one of the new axles has failed, and that the Directors
have come to the determination that none but these shall be
used hereafter with the coach trains.-,Liverpool Chroncle.

APPREHENSION OF SUSPECTED BURKERS.
—lnformation was sworn at Worship-street on Friday,
which afforded strong grounds for suspicion that several
Barking murders had been committed by persons who
had recently taken a house in Severn-place, Three Colts..
lane, Bethnal green, described as a lonely spot near the
fields between. Bethnal-green and Whitechapel-road. A
search-warrant was accordingly issued, and executed on
Friday night by the Worship-street officers, who appre-
hended three persons whom they found on the premises.
On Saturday the prisoners, GEORGE BRADLEY, a young
fellow about twenty years of age, SARAH SKINNER, a
young woman with whom he cohabited, and LOUISA CO-
VINGTON alias CARPENTER, his sister, were placed at the
bar for examination before Mr. BROUGHTON ; and SARAH
BRADLEY, an elderly Irishwoman, mother of GEORGE,
who had gone to the office to see the prisoners, was taken
into custody and placed at the bar with them. After a
long examination SARAH BRADLEY was discharged,
nothing having been stated against her. The other tbre
prisoners were remanded for a week.
