THE 'CHOLERA MORBUS.

(From the Tyne Mercury.)

Great alarm has been excited in this town for some
d ►ys plst, from an apprehension that the continental
cholera had made its appearance in Newcastle. That a
very violent and unusual case of Cholera morbus has just
occurred is beyond all doubt ; but we rejoice to be able to
observe that the opinion of the medical gentlemen who
attended is decidedly that it was not of foreign origin.
The person attacked was Mr. Oswald Reay, engine-wan
at Mr. Crawhall's ropery. He lived at the tad of Sand-
gate. He was attacked at eleve❑ ()Moe:: on Wednesday
night last, and died in twenty•nine hours and a half after-
wards—namely, at half-past four o'clock on Friday morn-
ing. For:- the satisfaction of the public we subjoin the
report of the professional gentlemen who attended him :
SYMPTOMS OF OSWALD ARAI'S CASE, AS REPORTED TO,

OR WITNESSED 111", HIS PROFESSIONAL ATTENDANTS.
His age was 33, and his habit spare. At e'even p.m.,
26th of October, 1831, having been previously in ill
health, he experienced a feeling of death, lips and alect
blue, purging cf liquid like thin gruel, spasms of the feet
extending up the legs to the stomach, occasinoal vomiting
of similar fluid. In the night the neighbours alarmed by
his groans. Domestic aid given. Brandy refused. At
eight o'clock a.m., sent for professional advice; not ob-
tained. At three p.m. prescribed for by Mr Parr. At
half-past five visited by Dr. M'Whirter and Dr. White.
Extremities then cold, pulse imperceptible, skin cold and
clammy, extreme thirst, but mind tranquil ; no urine passed
since the commencement of the attack ; distressing symp-
toms relieved by the measures employed. At half-past nine
easier, but no re•action. At twelve, breathing slow
and laborious, incipient coma. Died tranquilly at half past
four a.m., 291 hours from the- commencement of his
Wilts& Notwithstanding the similarity of the symptoms
to those described under the name of foreivt cholera, we
are of opinion that the above detailed disease has had no
foreign origin. Our reasons are, that the patient had
been before attacked by a similar disorder—that,
as an
engineer, he was not exposed to the influence of any sus-
picious infected material—that none such had been re-
cently introduced by his employer—that not one of the
individuals about him before or since his death has been
affected—and, lastly, that extreme cases of English cho-
lera have occasionally proved fatal even in a shorter time
than that of Reay. We may add to all these the fact that
the deceased had, within a fortnight, removed from a
healthy ally situation on Gateshead Fell to a confined re-
sidence in Sandgate.

WOLSTENHOLME PART?, Surgeon.
Newcastle, Oct. 29, 1831.
We are happy to observe that the Mayor has taken
very proper measures to prevent the cholera morbus find-
ing its way into Newcastle, as far as it can be prevented,
and to overcome it if it should unhappily visit this place.
The town is divided into districts—an extra number of
men have been ordered effectually to cleanse all the streets
and lanes—the Serjeants-at-Mace are required to make a
particular report of the state of each division of the town
and suburbs. The necessity of cleanliness and a free ven•
tilation have also been impressed on the inhabitants. The
old Castle has been fitted up with beds, to accommodate
patients if it should be necessary. We think it would he
very desirable if the Mayor would cause the tire-engines to
be employed with water freely in S indgate, and in the
lanes and chares on the Quay-side, and in other dirty and
confined Si tuatiowi.

BOAT DS OF HEALTH AT NEWCASTLE AND GATESIIEAD.
It was yesterday (Monday, Oct. S 1) resolved, at the
instance of the Mayor, to establish a Board of Health in
Newcastle, as one of the best means of protecting the town
from the cholera morhus, or lessening its rr,vages in the
event of its appearance. G;:ntletnen from the four parishes
attended for this purpose at the Mayor's Clornber, and,
with the Magistrates, form the Board, with power to add
to their numbers. A Board of Health has within the last
!ets, days been established at Gateshead. To render its
operation effective, that parish has been divided into dis-
tricts, a magistrate and surgeon, &c., being attached to
each division.

SUICIDE ),'OR Lo:•F,—Yesterday afternoon
a footman in the service of Sir J. COCKBURN, of No. 3,
Grove-road, Lisson.grove, went with the coachman of Sir
.I.xmEs into the Nightingale public-house, near Lisson-
grove, and drank together. The coachman, after a time,
inquired of the other if he were not going home. He re-
plied in the negative, and after the coachman i; departure,
went into the par!o the i;iglitingare, and shot himself
through the head with a pistol, which he had carried in his
pocket. It appears that he had been plying his addresses
to* young woman, who showed a predilection- for another
suitor. This he took so much to heart, that he resolved
to commit suicide. There are no hopes of his recovers-.

KING'S COLLEGE.

Wednesday evening the opening lecture of the
Commercial Class, in the King's College, was deli-
vered by Mr. Lowe, the Professor. Mr. Lowe is
well known as a practical commercial man, and also
as an author distinguished for his knowledge of the
scientific principles of commerce and of political
economy generally; and having regard both to prac-
deal experience and scientific views, it would,
perhaps, have been difficult to have made a happier
selection than the ruling authorities of "King's Col-
lege have made in this instance.
The principal points touched upon in this lecture
were—the little attention hitherto paid to the teach-
ing of sound views of the fundamental principles of
commerce—the great importance of that branch of
instruction, and the evils arising from the deficiency
of information on the subject among political rulers
and large capitalists, exemplified during the late
panic in 1823-6, and other instances—errors of Go.
vernment—war with our American Colonies in
1775—mistaken views of our situation, commercial
and financial, during the late war with Prance—
aeneral reduction of the prices of commodities
since the peace—the same wages, salaries, and
incomes generally—the classes chiefly affected by
the decline—the distress of the country—the pros.-
rect of relief, and on what founded—the prosperity of
this country as compared with other countries, in
capital, m rchinery, roads, and canals ; the same in
town population—competition in manufactories
little to be dreaded, either from the continent of
Europe or the United States of America. Prospec:s
of unproved regulations at home, our system of
country banking to be improved, and the
Usury Lao's likoly to be repealed as far as regards
merchants, &c. The bare enumeration of th, se
particulars shows of what importance it is that ac-
curate information on the principles and practice of
commerce should be widely diffused, more eapecial!y
in the British Empire, beyond all comparison the
greatest commercial country in the world. The
subject is essentially connected with the general
prosperity arid civilization of mankind, and it may
reasonably be expected that a course of instruction
on the principles of commerce will ere long form a
leading branch of instruction, not only in the LTM-
versit ies and colleges of this count y, but in the most
distinguished literary and scientific serninaties of all
other commercial countries.

11.1. r. Lowe has one fault, which may easily be
amended, and which, therefore, ought without delay
obe amended. He reads too rapidly. Let him
read delibenitely and emphatically; for, from the
specimen which we have heard, there is every reason
to believe that his lectures will be well worth being
deliberately real, and deliberately considyred.—
illoining-aronie.le.

IRELAND.

(PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE.)

MOUNTRATII, OCT. 29.—A fair Quaker, who
deals in gingerbread and lollypops within the lamps
of this ancient borough, hal kindled a dame in the
breastof u young shoemaker. Whether it was that
he addressed her in the plural number, or that the
heyday in her blood was tame, I know riot, but cer-
tain it is that he failed to inspire a mutual passion.
A maid she was of matronly carriage and dimen-
sions, and before she met the disturbance of the
gentle craftsman's solicitations slie seemed to all the
town as one who meant to pass the remnant of her
days in single blessedness. But his importunities
brought a change o'er the spirit of her dreams, and
she was driven to the Belgian neces,ity of seeking
repose in the arms of another and a more suitable
swain. Cupid came into the town a-top of the
Limerick coach, and took his stand by sister Han-
nah's oven, in the guise of a " friend," The Elders

were consulted, and proved agreeable. The fair
betrothed was jolted about on a jaunting car
from one meeting-house to another, accord-
ing to the usage of her primitive Church,
announcing her matrimonial project to all the
brethren 'and sistren within a radius of 10 miles;
and, finally, the day was appointed in the which
matters-should be signed, sealed, and (thereafter as
it might be) delivered. Great was the patience of
the lad of wax pending these preliminary perambu-
lations; hut, like other virtues, patience Its its
limits. The fixing of the day was pressing the joke
a little too far. The affair now grew personal; and
love, which, like philosophy, levels all distinctions,
arid is equally majestic, whether he goes forth as a
cobbler or a King, took the alarm and drove patience
fairly out at the street-door. On Tuesday last, St.
Crispin's day, of all days in the year, just at the very
drowsy time of night when Quakers yawn—that is
to say, a little before nine o'the clock—a party of
roisterers knocked at our fair Sabine's door, lifted
her bodily off her own hearth, and having, en pas-
sant, bestowed a few memorandums upon the favou-
rite, placed her in the arms of her original claimant
on the side of a jaunting car. In vain she screeched,
and kicked, and called her neighbours to the rescue.
The cry of " Murder" rang through the streets, and
the inhabitants ran to the doors; but not recognising,
the voice, and supposing that the cries proceeded
only from some country girl who was undergoing
the operation of abduction, they judged it to be
none of their business, and returned to their fire-
sides. Soon, therefore, without interruption, did
the ravishers clear the town and make their way to
the lonely district of Trummery, where they found
shelter beneath the roof-tree of a cottage, which
was intended to be the prison of Miss Hannah
Noble until such time as she should consent to put
her nobility into schedule A, arid become Madame
Burroughs. But, alas ! what Shakspeare sings
about the " course of true love" is a great deal too
true to be put in a ballad. It " never does run
smooth," sure enough, especially when it goes eight
miles an hour across a bog-road, upon a jaunt ingscar
"hid] reposes on grasshopper springs. True or
false, I defy any love to run smooth by such a con-
veyance Trummery. What between the rattle of
the wheels to
the screams of Hannah, the country
people became excited, and, haying tracked the
fugitives to their covert, quickly broke in the door,
whilst the hapless man of leather, with his accom-
plices, boltpd out of the window. A party of police
who had been sent in pursuit came up soon after,
and, under their protection, the meek object of im
petuous passion was restored to her ov? peaceful
bed, quiyc, pene. Since
eti made away with the great
hsoilm Henry
i ai: ,
p single
::,itiaker heiress from Cork we have not beand of so
violent an outrage upon a female of that unoffending
sect. The offenders have as vet eluded the pursuit
ofjustice, and, what makes the matter more moving,
it is said that the principal in the transaction wit's
actually accommodated with a horse for that purpose,
by a member of the Society of Fse'rlds t.

Within the last few dayS some sudden deaths
occurred in this town. On Thursday morning, in the
Itishtown, Mrs. Alututtr,arespectable inhabitant, whilst
in the act of dressing, fell down suddenly and expired s:e
was at a funeral, apparently, in good Erc.lt!:?„ oM the 'day
previous. A friend of !ler'c., ti.lo tle name of
Munrnv, who :-;itsiqz.i.l at (Jeliconnor, in this neighbour-
hood, ome into town, having heard the report of her
'death, for the purpose of ascertaining its truth, and re-
ceived such a shock, that having walked a short distance
to the house of a neighbour, to whom he expressed
regret for the sudden loss of his friend, he, laid h:s head on
his hand, as if he were reeecting on the awful circum-
_thTeirph ae
