4. One h 'the world are desolately single, and the other
upposieg them married, questionably contented. Dloldence, or a
ense of right sletermine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
•itter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
)f caution at worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
,ornprosing gory ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
ind broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
oni social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage sat-
;lament. Honour and justice denaivad that health should form aa item
:n the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er

THE CHOLERA.—MANCLIESTER, OCT. 27.—1 t ii
gratifying to be able to state that the cholera, although
not quite extinct, is rapidly disappearing from among
us. A few fatal cases have occurred during the past
week, principally among young children, and chiefly
from diarrheas. Continued attention is shown by the
authorities to the condition and wants of those who have
been suffering from illness; but the demands on the care
and skill of the medical officers are daily diminishing,
and in a very short time their services will be altogether
dispensed with. Reports, announcing the gradual dis.
appearance of the disease, have been received from
nearly all the surrounding towns and villages, including
Stockport, Bolton, Ashton-under-Lyne, Rochdale, Bury,
Oldham, Macclesfield, and Warrington. In most or all
of these places the medical officers engaged in attending
to cases of cholera and diarrheas have been relieved from
their harassing duties, and the parochial officers are
instructed to report promptly in any case that may occur.
THE MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR AT CHELSEA.—At
Westminster Police-court on Saturday. the whole of the
witnesses against Thomas WI:Ion:11d, Mary his wife, and
Mary Fox, were bound over to prosecute the accused,
who were fully committed for trial at the Central Cri-
minsl Court for the robbery of Thomas Bl`Gowrau or
M'Guire.

THE ROn. . 0 THE CITY.
The inhabitants of London will hear with great
regret that, by indisposition, which, however, is for-
tunately not of a very serious character, her Majesty
the Queen will be prevented from honouring the City
ith a visit to morrow. On Saturday, in consequence
of the reports in circulation respecting her Majesty's
health, the Lord Mayor proceeded to Lord John Rus-
sell at Richmond, and subsequently to Windsor,
where ho was honoured by a personal interview with
his Royal Highness Prince Albert. His Lordship
was then informed that her Majesty's medical advisers
consider that it would be imprudent to expose her
Majesty to the excitement and fatigue inseparable from
her intended part in the proceedings of Tuesday ; and
the loyal citizens of London will, therefore, have to
endure the disappointment involved in the non-appear-
ance of their Queen on that occasion.
Her Majesty, it appears, has been suffering from the
complaint called chicken-pox, but is now pronounced
by Sir James Clark to be convalescent.
We have authority to state, that in the event of the
Queen's continued indisposition, his Royal Highness
Prince Albert will be present on behalf of her Ma-
jesty at the opening of the New Coal Exchange to-
morrow, accompanied by the Prince of \Vales and the
Princess Royal—an arrangement which will prevent
any change in the procession on the river, or in the
ceremonial afterwards.

The high respect and affection entertained by all
classes of the community for his Royal Highness,
and the interest which attaches to the first visit of the
Prince of \Vales and the Princess Royal to the City,
will we trust in some degree compensate for the dis-
appointment and regret which the news of her Ma-
jesty's illness cannot fail to produce.
In the meantime the preparations of the citizens
for giving their illustrious visitors a truly loyal recep-
tion continue unabated. Our advertising columns
contain the regulations of the Court of Aldermen for
the preservation of public order on the occasion. At
Woolwich the platform made under the superinten-
dence of Mr. Lang for the embarkation and landing
of her Majesty and the Royal Family was la'unched
yesterday, and a railing put on each side, and the
whole painted. Upwards of five miles of moor-
ing-chains have been laid down on the south side
of the river, and about 600 fathoms more are required
to cemplete the cordon. It would be well, consider-
ing the great number of persons who will be anxious
to be on board the steam-vessels on the north side of
the river, to issue some strict regulation as to the
numbers they are permitted to take, to prevent acci-
dents, as the owners have, in several cases, issued
bills announcing the charges they will make for
permission to be on hoard, and overcrowding might
cause the scene to be completely marred if danger
became apparent, especially as the river will be at its
greatest depth, a little before high water, when the
procession commences, and a little after high water,
when the royal party returns to Whitehall.
The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander
Paley, and the Monkey steam-vessel, Master Com-
mander Bryant, are to be stationed with their heads
up the river; and the Jasper steam-vessel, Mr.
Pollit, and the Advice steam-vessel, Mr. Fogden,
with their heads down the river, all opposite the
Custom-house. The riggers of the dockyard,
Mr. Bellamy, and the men of the dockyard, under
boat-brigade, under Mr. Newbury, boatswain of
Woolwich dockyard, will man the gun-boats to guard
the line of chains on the south side of the river.

The preparations for giving the royal visitors a
suitable reception on landing are eso in progress, and
approaching their completion.
The following description of the New Coal Ex-
change will prove interesting : —The Exchange,
which is situate at the corner of St. Mary-at-hill,
faces Billingsgate Market, and has been erected after
designs of Mr. J. Bunning, the City architect. The
meeting place of the coal-factors and principals con-
nected with the coal trade consists of a spacious area
or rotunda, with four galleries, connecting the dif-
ferent offices. The noble dome of the area rests on
eight piers of elegantly-designed framework, artisti-
cally emblazoned in colours. The style of the build-
ing approximates to the Italian, with such original
and unique additions as the novel mode of construct-
ing in iron could suggest to the inventive mind of a
modern artist. Although usefulness is the chief con-
dition in a building of this kind, yet the fine arts have
a proper place attributed to them. The lower range
of pinels in the cupola presents many of the most
remarkable fossil remains of the coal plant, surrounded
with oval frames and brilliantly coloured Raffael•
esques of graceful design. The ground on which
they are painted is of a fine turquoise hue, and
accords well with the aerial opening above, giv-
ing a light and elegant character to the dome.
The upper row of pilasters illustrate the manner of
working the coal, and at the bottom of each are geolo-
gical representations of calareites found in the coal,
with the botanical names inscribed below. A great
number of these extraordinary geological remains are
also portrayed on the 24 pilasters supporting the dome,
so that the decorations not only ferm a pleasing
feature with regard to colour and shape, but will
prove instructive and gratifying to the students of
geology. The second gallery downwards contains
also c.damites, or fossil stems, with graceful Ruffed-
espies and medallions, ilustrwing the costumes and
hibits of the Workmen in the coal mines. In the third
gallery downwards a simoPar style follows, with
paintings of the chief coal mines in the kingdom, in-
cluding the " Air Shaft at IVall's•end," the " Percy
Pit Main Colliery," the "Regent's Pit Colliery,"
" Wall's-end Colliery," &c. The other spaces of the
interior are filled up with trophies arranged with the
working tools of the miners. The mode of working
and handling the black diamond" from the pit to
the grate of royalty is portrayed in every stage.
Above the entrance are the City arms, emblazoned in
gold and colour, and the smaller dome, leading into
the rotunda, is filled up with scrollwork and paint-
ing, harmonizing with the other parts of the building.
The cost of the edifice will be about 40,0001.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—DUNDEE, OCT. 25.
—(From our Correspondent.) Mr. Penny, master of
the Advice (which arrived in the roadstead last night),
reported that he had no information regarding the ex-
pedition under the command of Sir John Franklin,
when up the country. The St. Andrew, Dring, of
Aberdeen, was through the ice fully a month before the
other whale ships; but the natives made no report to
Mr. Dring until the other vessels came through the ice.
—Shipping Garette.
THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.— On Friday
night last a serious and fatal accident occurred on this
line, near the Saxilby station, through the carelessness
and imprudence of the sufferers themselves. We under-
stand that about half-past six o'clt ck, it being dark,
three labourers employed on the line were returning
home from their work, walking on the railway, when
they perceived the down luggage train coming in front
of them. They immediately got upon the other line of
rails, and almost at the same instant were run into by
the up luggage train, which was behind them, and whieh
they bad not perceived. One of the men was killed on
the spot, his entrails, &c., being torn completely out.
Another was dreadfully cut and bruised, and is so seri-
ously injured that he is not likely to recover; the third
men was fortunately thrown on one side by the engine,
and precipitated down a bank, receiving slight injury.
In the night of Thursday last a luggage-train from
Doncaster smashed through the gates at the Bardney
station, in consequence of their being closed, the keeper
not knowing that any train would pass during the night;
the shock was so violent as to throw the engine off the
line. Fortunately no further damage was done, and a
man was dispatched to Boston for assistance. An en-
gine and men were quickly forwarded from the Boston
station, and the engine, being again placed upon the
line, proceeded on its journey. On the Saturday night
previous the gates at the Langrick station were both
broken to atoms by a luggage train, the gate-keeper,
who resides at a considerable distance from the gate,
having gone home for the night. In this instance, for-
tunately, no other damage occurred. The man killed
was named Robert Wright, and ho has, we are in-
formed, left a wife and large family to lament his loss.
—Boston Herald,
PROJECTED WESTMINSTER-BRIDGE IMPROVEMENTS.
—A correspendent says—" It is proposed, both for the
sake of affording a better view of the new palace and
diverting the great traffic of Westminster-bridge from
the immediate vicinity of the Houses of Parliament, to
rebuild the bridge a little farther north, commencing on
the Surrey side at a spot immediately opposite the
wharfs in Cannon-row, having the Board of Control for
its southern boundry on the Middlesex shore. This
will cause the removal of the block of houses between
Derby-street and Richmond-terrace, but at the same
time afford sufficient space for a row of houses looking
south, of a similar characer, and thus giving a handsome
approach to the bridge on the north side. It will then
be requisite to Open Charles-street to the south of Great
George-street, hating an outlet into St. James's Park,
and terminating with a drive leading by a curve to
the Birdcage-walk. By the clearance of the houses
in Charles-street an opportunity would be afforded of
appropriating that space to the purpose of the depot for
records, connected as it might then be with the. State
Paper Office, and returning along the west side of
King-street to the ground so many years lying waste
in Downing-street, and reserved for Government offices.
When these plans shall have been carried out it will
be found necessary to remove the block of houses in
Parliament- street north of Charles-street, and possibly
at some future time the entire mass towards the
Houses of Parliament. As so much of importance de-
pends on the selection of a proper site for the bridge, and
the matter has been referred to Sir John Burgoyne,
his report is looked for with no small anxiety.—
