ROYAL ARTILLERY,

WOCLWICH, JULY 13.—Prince George of Cam-
bridge arrived at Woolwich garrison at 11
o'clock A.M. to-day, accompanied by Captain Tay-
lor, of the Royal Artillery, and of the Queen
Dowager's hous-hold. His Royal Highness was
received by Lieutenant-Colonel Brereton, C. 8.,
K.H., Royal Horse Artillery, Brigade-Major Bingham,
and Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster
General of Artillery. Ile immediately proceeded to Wool-
wich Common, where the troops of Royal Horse Artillery
had been previously assembled under the command of
Lieutenant-Colonel Bell, and 20 rounds served out to
each gun. The troops walked past, and at trot, and
afterwards at full gallop, and formed the latter with
gra titer rapidity and precision than they had done at
any time this season. The troops then went through
the exercises and evulutiens of a field day in an admir-
able manner, and performed their difficult duties with
the greatest ease and correctness, although the ground
was very dry and slippery, owing to the state of the
weather. At the conclusion of the exercises his Royal
Highness proceeded through the north arch of the bar-
racks to the field battery branch of the ordnance service,
and was accompanied by Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson
the commanding officer, over the whole of the stables,
entering one dour on the north side and returning-by the
south side door through the next stable. Ettty tit the
field battery horses, kept in the south barrack square,
were also taken out of their stables and arranged in a
line in the square, and his Royal Highness minutely in-
spected every one of them, and subsequently expressed
to Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson his approbation of their
excellent condition. Ilia Royal Highness, with the
()Moors, then proceeded to the mess-room and partook of
refreshments before leaving for town.
The fallowing general order has just been issued :
" The Master-General has directed the Commandant to
express the gratification he experienced at the review on
Tuesday, July 3. The excellent marching, soldier-like
appearance, and :steadiness of all under arms, with the
correct movements in the field, far surpassed the expec-
tations of the Master-General ; and his perfect appro-
bation of the whole of the movements of the Horse
Artillery, field batteries, and battalions, Sir Thomas
Downnaan is desired to say, could not be too strongly
expressed. The Commandant has the greater pleasure
in circulating this flattering order, being convinced it
will tend to the exertion of all parties on a future
occasion."

CHOLERA Is THE CITY.—The immediate connexion
of the spread of this endemic scourge and the fwtid ex-
halations issuing from the air-holes and gratings of the
sewers, has just received melancholy proofs in Yoppin's-
court, Fleet-street, a narrow, ill-ventilated, and popu-
lous avenue, bounded by lofty buildings, and en-
tered by a low archway beneath one of the houses in the
main thoroughfare. Midway in this alley is a vent-
hole, and at each side, near the kerb stone, which bounds
a very narrow pavement, are two large open drains. In
most directions of the wind, these foci of atmospheric
contamination send their malaria to the noses and lungs
of the people who form the ceaseless crowd which
streams along that populous thoroughfare. The
deaths of the dwellers in the immediate neighbourhood,
as might be expected, are more readily traceable to this
source. A few days since the foreman of Mr. Sabine,
card maker, who worked opposite the gully-holes, died
of cholera. Typhus, says Mr. Bowie, surgeon, is seldom
absent from the place. Lastly, Mr. Groves, fruiterer,
who also lived facing them, now lies dead, after an attack
of cholera of a few hours duration. It is proper to
observe that Mr. Groves, after complaining to the Board
at Gwydyr House, which complaint was referred to the
City authorities, sent his wife into the country a short
time since to recruit her shattered health, which bad
been continuously giving way ever since the opening of
the vent-holes abovementioned, yet not the slightest at-
tention has been paid to the representations of a state of
things to which ho has forfeited his life.
A person, whilst ploughing a few days ago, in a
field ammo a mile s,•uth ut Northalbirton, turneo up a
silver coin rather larger than a shilling, but somewhat
thinner, which, on cleaning, proved to be a coin of King
Alfred,. in a fair sate of preaervatme—Berwick Warder.
