TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—You are doubtless inundated with communi-
cations on the sewage question ; and as nothing is
done to keep the filth out of the river, will r, of the
next best thing be to increase the quantity of water
in the river, in order the more to dilute the nastiness ?
Some little increase has been made by overflowing
springs, as at Merton and other places, and artesian
wells, as at Trafalgar square. Surely these might
he increased in Surrey or Middlesex, or any where
in the basin of the Thames. What is the use of a
Conservancy Jury who do not keep the Thames
navigable, as witness the gut at Wandsworth and
at Strand-on-Green, &c. ; nor sweet, as witness from
London upwards ? It is very manifest that the more
water comes down the more the sewage is driven
downwards toward the sea.—Yours, &c.,
A STEAM-BOAT TRA.VELLER.

A DOG KILLED BY BSEB.—Yesterday afternoon A
fine doll, of the Newfoundland species, the property of
Johnardwicke, Esq., of Manor House, Hampstead,
was disporting in the garden of that gentleman's resi-
dence, for the amusement of the children, when, leaping
an inclosure, the animal upset two large bee-hives. The
enraged insects instantly swarmed upon the unfortunate
dog, who was pierced with innumerable stings. In vain
the poor beast rolled in agony, the infuriated bees
fastened on him afresh, and in less than two hours the
animal expired, its body swelled to double its natural
size. The nurse and children were also severely stung.
WESLEYAN METHODISTS.—A number of trustees,
leaders, stewards,_ local preachers, and other officers of
the Wesleyan Methodist society, in the Bristol north
and south circuits, have issued an address expressing
strong dissent against the expulsion of the authors
of the " Fly Sheets" from the connexion. 6. The
principle," they say, "upon which three devoted minis-
ters of Christ have been ignominiously expelled from the
Wesleyan connexion, is an infringement on our liberties
as Englishmen, a violation of the spirit of Wesleyan
Methodism, as established by our venerable founder, and
an enactment unprecedented, except in the annals of a
corrupt church.
IMPORTS OP CATTLE.—These imports continue very
low. During the week they have been as follow:
August 17, the Gazelle, from Antwerp, 23 calves; Eme-
rald Isle, from Rotterdam, 10 oxen and 2 calves; 20th,
the Rob Roy, from Hamburgh, 9 horses; Britannia, from
Hamburgh, 18 oxen and 30 calves; Seagull, from Rot-
terdam, 21 oxen, 7 calves, and 21 sheep. Total, 9 horses,
49 oxen, 62 calves, and 21 sheep,—Hull Advertiser.
The goodly outside is excellent, when not falsely
assumed; but the worst natural face that nature's jour-
neyman ever left unfinished is better than the bravest
mask.—Eliza Cook's Journal.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

HADIDURGH, AUG. 19.—Several public journals
have spoken of -the protest made by the English and
French Consuls against the occupation of Hamburgh
by the Prussian troops.
The Augsburg Zeitung gives the following data
on this subject :--
"The French Consul transmitted a note to the Senate,
of the following import The French Government has
nothing to object, if the Prussian troops merely pass
through Hamburgh; but it must and does protest against
the military occupation of that city by the Prussian
troops:" _ _ _

The Hanoverian Char d'Affaires has protested in
the name of his Sovereign, us chief of the 10th army
corps, to which he belongs, against troops being sent to
Hamburgh. Thus Germany has arrived at such a point
that foreign powers interfere without any hesitatiun in Its
internal affairs.

With regard to the protest made by England, the reality
resolves itself into the following point:—Colonel Hodges,
who came hither from Flensburgh in consequence of
the troubles of Tuesday (but has since returned thither),
demanded of the Senate whether the Prussian troops were
here by its consent, and how long a time they would
remain.

CHELTENHAM AND OXFORD.

CHELTENHAM, SATURDAY.—To-day the half-yearly
meeting of the proprietors of this company was ap-
pointed to be held at the offices of the company, but a
sufficient number of members not being in attendance,
the meeting was necessarily adjourned sine die.
PORTBURY AND COMPANY.

YE8724. 2: The half-yearly meeting of
shareholders in this undertaking was held this day at
the White Lion Hotel, and was numerously attended.
After a good deal of rather angry discussion,
Mr. J. BROWN proposed, " That the best thanks of
the meeting be presented to the directors for their past
services, and that they be most earnestly requested to
avoid all further liabilities on account of the company,
and to take all the steps in their power to wind up its
affairs, and with this view they be authorised to take
such steps as they might deem necessary to recover the
arrears of calls."

Mr. GIBBS seconded the resolution, which, after con-
siderable debate, was adapted; and the retiring directors
having been re-elected, the meeting broke up.

One halt the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a

..; tter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
?omprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
end broken health, aro the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Houoar and j ustice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or

PRUSSIA.

Advices have been received from Berlin to the 233.
A compact has been definitively entered into with
the Prussian Government by the collective Anhalt
dukedoms (Dessau, Cothen, and Bernburg), in
virtue of which the military forces of these states will
become an integrant part of the Prussian army. This
compact is confidently stated to be merely the pre-
cursor of similar arrangements with other German
States. Hesse-Cassel is named as one of these, and
the present visit of the Elector to Berlin is attributed
to the negotiations now in progress to this effect.
With respect to the state of the siege of Berlin,
there appears to be no prospect of its being imme-
diately raised. The magistrates have rejected the
petition of the deputation of the city for the removal
of the state of siege by stating that it not only continued
to exercise a most beneficial influence on the various
branches of trade, but was indispensable to the public
safety in the present unstable condition of our social
and political relations.
The Speech from the Throne, which will be deli-
vered at the approaching opening of the Diet is now
under discussion in the Cabinet. It is conceived in a
very conciliatory spirit. The late break between the
popular Representatives and the Crown is treated
with much moderation; but the German question is
taken up very decidedly, and Austria's position to
Germany disputed. The Ministers have also decided
that the state of siege shall be continued.

An increased supply of stock has been received at the
northern outports from Holland, it having comprised
about 800 head, chiefly beasts and sheep, by steamers.
There was a decline in the numbers of foreign stock
exhibited in to day's market, compared with those
shown on Monday last. Still, however, the trade was
excessively heavy, and sales were with difficulty effected
at depressed currencies. Notwithstanding there was a
falling-off in the arrivals of home-fed beasts fresh up
this morning we have again to notice unusual heaviness
in the beef trade. The weather being somewhat un-
favourable for slaughtering, the attendance of both Lon-
don and country buyers small, and Newgate and
Leadenhall markets largely supplied with each kind of
meat, especially with Beef, Mutton, and Pork, which
were selling at extremely low currencies ; the prices of
all kinds of beasts were fully 2d per 81bs. lower than on
Monday last, being the amount of depression noticed on
Friday. With very few exceptions, the best Scots
produced no more than 3s 6d per Sibs., and a
large number of short-horns, &c., were turned out unsold.
The droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire amounted to about 1,500 Scots and short-horns
Those from the North of England were 200 short-horns;
from the western and midland districts, 600 Herefords,
runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 of
various breeds; and from Scotland, 310 horned and polled
Scots. With Sheep we were again scantily supplied as
to number, but their general quality was extremely
good, and the same observations may be applied to the
beasts. All breeds of Sheep sold heavily at Friday's
fall in value of 2d per 81bs, the top general figure
for the best old Downs in the wool being 4s 6d, and
half-breds 4 per 81bs, and a total clearance was not
effected. There were about 500 shorn sheep in the
market, the prices of which ruled from 6d to 8d per Sibs
beneath those in the weol. Calves, the supply of which
was again small, moved off slowly, at last week's quo-
tations. In pigs, scarcely any business was trans-
acted, and prices had a downward tendency.

EVEITIIPIELD.

The continuous decline in the value of live stock,
especially Beasts, in this market (though long since
anticipated by us) is creating no little uneasiness in the
minds of the graziers generally. In the past week the
trade has been dull almost .:beyond: recollection, and
prices of.. both Beasts atid Sheep have given way quite
4d per 81bs. That the returns - have been belov a par'
ing point will be obvidtis, When we state' that, with very
few exceptions, the highest figure realised for the best
Scots on Friday last was only 3s 6d per: filbs—a much
lower price than for"many years past—andsthe toirqUoti-
tion for prime old Downs in the wool did not exceed
4s 6d, shorn Sheep selling at 3s lod per 8161. At those
rates great difficulty was experienced in effecting sale's.
The only, mode by
.which prices can be enhanced is a
withholding of a portion of the stock destined for con-
sumption in London. Its effect, however, would be but
temporary, as the numbers of Loth Beasts and Sheep in
Norfolk and Suffolk are considerably in excess of those
at many corresponding periods of the year, and a rise
in the quotations would be productive of heavy imports•
tions from France, Holland, and Germany. A some-
what novel importation, which, if successful, is likely to
interfere to some extent with the production of stock
in this country, has recently taken place into London,
viz., 1,636 canisters of preserved Beet and Mutton from
BLIUEOS Ayres. This arrival has been submitted to
public competition, and withdrawn at 6d per lb: The
condition of the Beef has turned out tolerably good,
that of the Mutton rather inferior. We understand that
similar imports will shortly take place from South
Australia. From Hamburgh and Bremen, several casks
of fresh Pot k and baskets of fresh Beef' have come in
since our last, and which have sold at from 3s to 3s 4d
per Sibs. Two vessels have been dispatched to Oporto
to bring home live beasts; They may be expected at
Southampton about the latter end of the present or the
beginning of next week. The number thus to arrive is
about 300 head. An arrival, consisting of 16 oxen and
30 sheep has taken place in the Thames from Cork. The
Irish supplies by sea are decidedly superior to those
which have come to hand here this year via Liverpool.
The total imports of foreign stock in the metropolis last
week comprised 1,966 head, or 55 less than in the pre-
ceding week but 420 more than during the same period
in 1848. A decrease of 313 head has taken place in the
number of beasts as given in the official returns, but
which show an excess in the supply of foreign Sheep of
209, and of Calves 30 head. The first arrival of Lambs
has taken place from Antwerp. The annexed statement

An immense quantity of country-killed Meat has been
received up to these markets in the past week, vie., 600
carcasses of Beef; 2,000 ditto of Mutton; 20 ditto of
Lamb; 200 ditto of Veal; and 4,000 ditto of Pork. The
supplies on sale slaughtered in the metropolis having con-
siderably exceeded the wants of the trade, the general
demand has ruled unusually heavy, and prices have
given way from 2d to, in some instances, 4d per 81b, and
clearances have not been effected. About 600 carcasses
of foreign Meat, killed in London, have been on sale.
From Hemburgh 7 baskets of Beef and 7 casks of Pork,
mostly legs; and from Bremen 3 casks of Pork have
come to hand. The quality of these arrivals has turned
out by no means prime.

WOOL.

Large numbers of buyers from the manufacturing dis-
tricts, as well as from the Continent, have been in at-
tendance at the public sales held since our last report.
The whole of the colonial and a large portion of the
foreign wools offered have changed hands at the late
advance, viz., from lid to 3d per lb upon the former
descriptions. In the value of the latter no material al-
teration has taken place. Several parcels of Port Philip
have gone as high as is 10d per lb for scoured sheep's,
and 2s 6d to 2s 7d for scoured lambs'. Australian
sheep's has sold at from 9d to is 10id ; and South

FINANCIAL REFORM.

Mr. HUME said, as he had given notice that he would
submit to the House a motion on the motion for going
into a Committee of Supply—that, in the present state of
the finances of this country, her Majesty's Ministers,
before calling on this House to vote the estimates for
the public service, should submit a general financial
statement of the whole or expected revenues, and
the total intended expenditure for the en-
suing financial years—he had come down to
the House prepared to carry out the resolution. He
was sorry, however. to find that by a resolution which
the House passed a few nights ago they would be unable
to move more than one amendment to the motion for
going into a Committee of Supply. When he gave his
assent to the resolution he had formed an opinion that
they would be left with regard to the Committee
of Supply in the same way as before, and
he must say that he had been completely
taken in by his own act.—(Laughter.) He thought it
necessary to say that much, because be was anxious that
the motion of his Honourable Friend near him (Mr.
Cobden) should come on before any vote was granted.
He biped and trusted that before another session any
restriction which prevented more than one division taking
place would be done away with. He had consented to the
resolution from an anxiety to push forward the business
of the House, and not to prevent amendments being
made upon the motion for going into Supply. He
would take the opportunity of making his mo-
tion on Friday next, and he would, therefore,
now leave the course free to his Hon. Friend Mr. Cob-
den, and he hoped he would be as successful as he de-
served to be.

A R R I A G E.
One half the world are desolately single, and the other
eupposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
:eine of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
Sitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lies; deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
In the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-

" WITERE,THERE'S A WILL THERE'S A WAY."

We have faith in old proverbs full surely,
For Wisdom has traced what they toll,
And Truth may be drawn up as purely
From them, as it may from " a well."
Let us question the thinkers and doers,
And hear what they honestly say,
And you 'll find they believe, like bold wooers,
In " Where there's a will there's a way,"
The hills have been high for Man's mounting,
The woods have been dense for his axe,
The stare have been thick for his counting,
The sands have been wide for his tracks,
The sea has been deep for his diving,
The poles have been broad for his away,
But bravely he's proved in his striving,
__
That " Where there's a will there's a way."
Have ye vices that ask a destroyer ?
Or pasions that need your control?
Let Reason become your employer,
And your body be ruled by your soul.
Fight on, though ye bleed in the trial,
Resist with all strength that ye may,
re may conquer Sin's host by denial,
For " Where there's a will there's a way.*
Have ye Poverty's pinching to cope with?
Does Suffering weigh down your might?
Only call up a spirit to hope with,
And dawn may come out of the night.
Oh! much may be done by defying
The ghosts of Despair and Dismay,
And much may be gained by relying
On " Where there's a will there's a way."
Should ye see afar off that worth winning,
Set out on the journey with trust;
And ne'er heed it your path at beginning
Should be among brambles and dust.
Though it is but by footsteps ye do it,
And hardships may hinder and stay,
Keep a heart, and be sure you'll get through it,
For " Where there's a will there's a way."
