WISBECH BATus:—On the Ist instant another
numerous and' respectable meeting was held in the Town Hall,
Wisbech, for the purpose of reeeiving the report of the provi-
sional committee appointed at -a former meeting, and also to
adopt such measures as might be deemed expedient for the
immediate erection of hot and cold salt water baths.- Several
resolutions were proposed and adopted.. The plan presented
being approved, a Committee, consisting of twelve Gentle.
men, besides a Treasurer and Secretary, were appointed eo
superintend the erection of the building and have the manage-
ment of the baths for one year. A vote of thanks was unani-
mously passed to the Lord Bishop of. Ely, for his grant of
ground uon which it is intended to build ; and also to Hugh
Jackson, Esq., for the essential service that Gentleman reit=
tiered to the Committee. The report also acknowledges the
polite attention of the Commissioners of the Court of Sewer,.
It is intended that the building shall be immediately erected,
as the shares are nearly all engaged. So general has been the
support this measure has met with in this public-spirited
town, that nearly every gentleman of respectability has already
become a shareholder, or signified his intention of supporting
the baths by his subscription. .T. R. Weatherhead, Esq., the
Town Bailiff, presided at the meeting.
EXTRAORDINARY PROCLAMATION.-Sir
braith Lowry Cole, the Governor.of the Maori-
tiva has issued a singular Proclamation from the
Government House, Fort Louis, requiring pro-
prietors of estates, lessees, and other occu-
pants, to (leposit at the Civil Commissaries of
their respective quarters in the course of the year,
ten birds' heads, or twenty rats' tails, at their
option, for every slave in their possession. The
birds' eggs, young birds, or rats, found and de-
stroyed in their nests, shall be counted in com-
mon with others. A penalty of six sols is fixed
on every bird's head and rat's tail not furnished.
Every head of an ape or !donkey will be received
an equivalent to six rats' tails, or twelve birds'
heads. All those races are considered destruc-
tive to the harvest and culture on the island..-7,
The story of Whittington and his cat, after this
circumstance, ought no longer to be considered a
romance.—(Morning Paper.)

Those loathsome diseases, leprosy and land-
scurvy, became gradually extinct in England
when the reformation in religion and improve-
ments in agriculture removed the necessity of
eating salted fish acid meat during a great por-
tion of the year.
