NEW CHUF.CII AT BRlGHTON.—Yesterday the new

of the Marquis of Bristol, and containing church accom-
modation for the whole of the pupils of at. Mary's Hall,
tor the edecatien of the daughters of deceased clergy-
teen left in destitute circumstances, was cons, crated by
the Biel,op of Chichester. Nearly all the clergy of
Brighton and the neighbourhood were

the sermon was preached by the Bishop. Thed

From the centre of Englund to its remotest ex-
tri,mities the effect of cholera is felt, and it would seem
that some such scourge was necessary to compel the
inhabitants of this island to purify their localities, and to
remove as far as far as possible the cause of crime; for
the tact cannot be hidden that crimes are now committed
in this country which are almost unraralleled or their
hideous nature. IS appears that men, however intelli-
gent,l(rnagwaecrce f theust(tinaed dtosetgreheefohuylest abominations, are

rounded: from mighty London down to the clustering-
arelustersinnrg"
hamlet, this rule will apply: the very foundations of the
metropolis are fast becoming a heaving mass of corrup-
tion from intramural burials, and the inhabitants who
swarm round the Whaplode Pitts will tell the stranger
that the water is wholesome and health-giving, because
it is salt. The fact is, it is nauseous from the contents
of open privies, dead dogs, cats, and the foul refuse of
generations. The evil is not confined to the spot; the
poisonous atoms which dance over these receptacles, and
the foul vapour, are caught and wafted to other homes.
The cholera season will come round again; in the mean-
time, precaution becomes an imperative duty.—

Mercury.
THE CHOLERA AND TERTOTALISM.—The cholera,
we are happy to say, is somewhat abated, though Salloperating to an extent to maintain alarm, and to diffuse
effirction on litery side. There is somewhat remarkable
in the character of its operations. One day, the friends
of total abstinence have been heard saying, " Our time is
now come! You shall see what will befall the moderate
drinkers, end the drunkards, and how their alcohol has
been preparirg them for destruction;" and to-morrow
you will hear of the excellent William Cash, of the So-
ciety of Friends, and a prince among teetotallers, re-
moutig to his family at Llastings the one day, and
brought back a corpse the other! And, as it such a
mark was not sufficiently significant, you shall hear the
next day of the excellent Archdeacon Jeffries, of Bom-
bay, whose praise in connexion with total abstinence has
filled not only England, but America—a gentleman who
has survived amidst all the raveges of the cholera in

QUARAN TINE AND COMMERCE.-The mercantile
(.. tses at Malts, whose interests one would suppose
wouldf hzrmarthanerlinteo
(aadnvdociantedetehde, totaleamboilai-
take not, such has evt r heretofore been their unceasing
cry), have absurdly advanced a petition to the local go-
vernment, praying that this expensive, and at the same
litre in most cases vexatious restriction on trades be at
once imposed and rigorously carried into effect upon
arrivals from sill ports and places where cholera morbus
setually exists. The Board of Health of Naples and
Sicily will no doubt know when, and as occasion may
require, which is pretty frequent, how to appreciate and,
make the most of the solicitude of the merchants of
Malta for the protection of the public health.—Malta

THE SILK TRADE OF CIIESIIIRE.—It is gratifying
to state that the staple trade of Macclesfield and Congle-
ton, the two great seats of the silk trade in Cheshire,
continues in a tbriving and healthy condition. Weavers
are in demand, and all the dye-houses are in lull and
constant employment. The silk trade, up to slate period,
had been in a drooping state, and the working classes
engaged in it had suffered much and severe privations.
At present the labouring population are in comparatively
easy circumstances, and the cheapneto of food Ode
much to their domestic comfatE4
