Console, which left off yesterday at Sli to 82 for the
Account, opened at the same price, and have improved to
82k, owing to the favourable news from Sunderland, as
well as the French papers contradicting the unfavourable
answer of tLe King of Holland, which we noticed yester-
day in our city article.
We have no arrivals this morning.
HALF-PAST ONE.

The favourable accounts from Sunderland this morning
have greatly elevated the spirits of the citizens, and
dispersed the general alarm that has prevailed for
several days past in regard to the spreading of the cholera
to other ton(ns. Indeed the letters from Sunderland
state that the accounts in our journals have been touch
exaggerated.
Up to the present hour we have no foreign political
information, owing to the Dutch steamer being still due.
Consols, which reached Sqi in the early part of the day,
are at present 82113- to 1, for the Account, with little doing.
Little or nothing doing in the Foreign Market. It is
reported that the ships of Don Pedro had been released,
after the stores and gunpowder were taken out w. them.

CHOLERA AT SUNDERLAND.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

have seen two letters to-day from
Sunderland on the subject of the cholera which
may be relied upon, one from Dr. Daun, the
Medical Commissioner, sent down by Govern-
ment, the other from a gentleman of great re-
spectability. Dr. Daun's letter, which is dated
the 9th, states that three deaths have occurred
within the last twenty-four hours, but in speaking
of the nature of the complaint his language is
very guarded and general. The other letter
mentions four deaths, and gives the names and
date, which are as follow :—Johnson, a boy,
and Mrs. Hunter, aged 40, died on the Bth of
Nov. ; Samuel Butterwick, aged 40, and John
Crawford, aged 60, died on the 9th November.
The writer repeats the observation which has
been made so frequently before, that the persons
who have fallen victims to this disease have been
for the most part of drunken, dissolute habits.
In this list of four, however, there is an ex-
ception to this rule : Samuel Butterwick, who
was a porter, was a sober and industrious man.
He was attacked yesterday morning while follow-
ing his employment, was eoliged to go home,
and died in a few hours afterwards. This case
being somewhat remarkable, I have made parti-
cular inquiry into it, and am happy to say I am
enabled to solve this apparent mystery. Butter-
wick had had a dysentery upon him for several
days previously, and foolishly neglected to call
or medical assistance till it was too late to be of
There is still the same reluctance to
communicate information respecting this com-
plaint at Sunderland. I regret it exceedingly,
for I fear it will give rise to suspicions that are
scarcely warranted by the actual state of affairs.

service.

tions are making here to protect the inhabitants
from the assaults of this much dreaded com-
plaint. The Mayor has not only urged the
poor, in the narrow streets and lanes especially,
to keep their houses clean and well ventilated,
but has offered to cause them to be lime white-
washed where they could not afford to do it them-
selves.

To serve the indigent part of the people still
more efficiently at this moment of alarm, our
worthy Chief Magistrate and his colleagues are
about to re-establish the soup kitchen,which has
repeatedly been found to afford timely relief in
seasons of sickness and distress. Hoping that
the example of Newcastle may, in this respect,
be followed in large towns in other parts of the
kingdom,

BRISTOL, Nov.• 11.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

I am happy to inform you that - Clark, the
man who fired both the Bridewell and the new gaol,
was taken at Liverpool by Armour and Hall, and
bought to Bristol this day by the Liverpool mail.
He is committed. The man paraded through the
streets publicly on Sunday, with an iron bar on his
shoulder, from one prison to the other, and yet not a
Magistrate had the courage to order him to be ar-
rested. He was also the fellow that placed the
signal on the weathercock for burning the gaol.
His mother lives at Bedminster, and keeps the Hen
and Chickeni public-house.

" Sta,—l have hid the honour of receiving your com-
munication, expressing the extreme anxiety of the citizens
of Bristol to receive an answer to the memorial which yon
delivered to me on the 7th instant.

" The whole of the unfortunate and disgraceful trans-
actions which have recently taken place in that city will
undoubtedly demand the most serious and deliberate at-
tention of his Majesty's Government ; and I have to as-
sure you that there shall be no delay in acquainting you
with the determination to which they come upon this
painful subject. " I have the honour to be,
Your faithful and obedient servant,
