BOARD OF HEALTH,
SUNDERLAND, DEC. 16TH, 1831.
SI R,—l have the honour to state, for the information of the
Lords of the Privy Council, that a communication having been
made to the Board of Health at Sunderland of the recall of Dr.
Daun from the important situations which he has hitherto tilled
at Sunderland and Newcastle, with so much credit to himself
and to his profession, the Board cannot suffer the opportunity to
pass by, without expressing their unanimous sense of the able
and indefatigable services which that gentleman has rendered to
these towns and their neighbourhood.
Dr. Daun came to Sunderland under circumstances per
haps the most trying for a medical man, where a majority
of the inhabitants of the place, and not a few of the medical
residents were altogether sceptics on the subject of the existence
of cholera amongst us, and, therefore, were disposed to view
every individual proposing measures calculated to detect it, and
to check its progress with suspicion, if not distrust. Under these
circumstances his patience and perseverance in labouring to pro-
duce conviction of the truth in the minds of the most prejudiced,
as well as a co-operation of all classes amongst us, but especially
of the members of the medical profession, in the endeavour
to stem the progress of disease, were unwearied and successful,
whilst the zeal, the judgment, and humanity which he displayed in
attending upon the sick and the dying, of the poorest classes of so-
ctety in their wretched abodes, at all hours, and to the neglect of his
personal comfort, and even of his health, were exemplary, and
have endeared him to their and our most grateful remembrance.
In bearing this testimony to the unostentatious but solid worth
of Doctor Daun, the Board feel that they are only discharging
a duty towards a gentleman for whom they must ever en-
tertain the highest respect aid esteem, and they will
experience a real gratification if this expression of their
sentiments should be considered by him as some compensation
for his self-denying and disinterested exertions.
I have the honour to be,
GEORGE ROBINSON, Chairman.

We perceive by the Gazette of last night that
two Special Commissions are appointed for the
county of Nottingham, one of which specifies the
offences to be tried; the other the period of trial,
which is fixed for the Ist of February. We hope
this show of spirit and activity on the part of Go-
vernment will have the effect of satisfying the
scruples of those thick-and•thin Anti-Reformers
who, especially Sir CHARLES WETHERELL and that
erudite and brilliant orator and Statesman the Right
Hon. JOHN WILSON CROKER, assert that Ministers
evince the most culpable negligence, by permitting the
late partial riots to pass unnoticed. The Commissioners
appointed are the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Marquis
of LANSDOWNE, Lord DURHAM, Duke of DEVON-
SHIRE, Marquis WELLESLEY, Sir JOSEPH LITTLE-
DALE, Sir STEPHEN GASELEE, Sir THOMAS DEN-
MAN, Messrs. LANCELOT ROLESTONE, NATHANIEL
GOODING CLARKE, JOSEPH GURNEY, RICHARD
LOWNDES, Wax. COLLISON, JOHN HILDITCH, and
GRAHAM LEWIS.

In another part of The Sun will be found a
lengthened communication by the President of the
Council (M. CASIMIR PERIER) to Government, on
the late alarming disturbances at Lyons. This com-
munication, which holds out not the slightest pros-
pect of any meastn-es being taken on the part of the
French Cabinet, with a view to remove the original
causes of the insurrection, which in fact prescribes
patience as the only effectual remedy, is reported to
have been attentively listened to, and favourably
received by the Chamber of Deputies. No debate
ensued on the communication at the time, but the
Opposition announced their intention of putting
sundry inconvenient questions to Ministers on Mon-
day next. The fortunate termination of the insur-
rection, M. C. PERIER ascribes in his communica-
tion to the cautious delay observed by the Duke of
ORLEANS and Marshal SOULT, in their proceedings;
and admits that one of the immediate causes of the
riots at Lyons was the adoption of a tariff of prices,
sanctioned not by Government, but by the local
authorities, between the manufacturers and the
workmen.

The extraordinary trial now going forward in
Paris, on the subject of the late Duke of BOUR-
BON'S will, compels the reigning Monarch of France
to cut a very pitiable figure. What may be urged
in his defence we know not, but certainly sufficient
evidence has already appeared to satisfy the world,
that there has been an understanding between the
Duke DE BOURBON'S mistress, Madame DE FEU-
CIIERES, and the Duke of ORLEANS (LOUIS PHIL-
LIPPE), for the purpose of persuading the deceased
Duke to leave his immense estates to one of the
Orleans family. The trial excites intense interest
at Paris, and is not yet concluded.

The chief queaton with the diplomatists is now
what is to be Uone with the King of HOLLAND ?

the provisions of the treaty are to be regularly fol-
lowed up, there can be rattle difficulty in deciding

this question, for the Great Powers litve bona
themselves to each other to use force towards either
of the contending parties by whom their award
should be rejected. The Dutch KING has now sig-
nified his final determination absolutely to reject that
award, and it remains to be seen whether the views
of the Great Powers, or those of his Dutch MAJESTY,
are to prevail.
So far as regards the abstract right of the Great
Powers to intermeddle with the Belgian question at
all, there may be some grounds for complaint on the
part as well of Holland as of Belgium. But, inas-
much as the resistance of a Sovereign, with less
than three millions of subjects, to the united com-
mand of the mighty ones of Europe, must be ab-
surdly ineffectual, and seeing that the Great
Powers have actually done injustice to Belgium,
for the sake of favouring the Dutch KING, in
regard to the distribution of the terr tory, every
reasonable man must condemn a course of conduct
which, if persisted in, can only bring upon Holland
the losses and miseries of war. Great dissatisfaction
appears to prevail among most classes 6! the Dutch,
at the prospect of the further misfortunes they are
destined to undergo, if their KING, from his own
self-will, shall refuse to allow peace to be made.
11'he Dutch were rejoiced at being separated from the
Belgians, whom they hate, but it must not be sup-
posed they have approved of the late military pro-
ceedings against Belgium, or have been content
with the enormous expenses to which Holland has
been subjected, without any possible benefit to the
people, but for the mere gratification of the vindic-

tive obstinacy of then Government. Unless the
ir
King of the NETHER NDS begins shortly to under-
stand and practice his ies towards his subjects, it
is possible he mai, re long, have no subjects
left him at all, and th the Dutch, who are so pru-
dent and calculating a nation, may take it into their
heads to imitate the Belgians, and rid themselves
altogether of the House of Nassau—once so ho-
hourably associated with the name of liberty in
Europe—but now, quantum mutatur ab ilk!
if the Allies, as is very improbable, should now
hesitate to pursue their purpose, they will make
themselves more ridiculous than ever, in the eyes of
Europe. It may well be imagined, that two of the
Great Powers at least—Russia and Prussia—may be
slow to recommend harsh dealing with the Sovereign
to whom they are closely allied, and of whose pro-
ceedings they are supposed by some to be the secret
abettors. But it especially belongs to the Cabinets
of Great Britain and France to act with an energy
which may prove them, at least, to have been in
earnest in these transactions. The treatment of the
Ottoman Porte for a course of conduct, not more

treacherous, obstinate, or injurious to its own sub-
jects, than that of the King of the NETHERLANDS,
may afford a useful precedent for correcting his MA.
JESTY'S Calvinistical doggedness; and if the rod is
to be applied to him, the sooner it is used the better
will be its effect.
