CHOLERA RELIEF.

The following leter has been written to the Bishop
of London by the Earl of Carlisle :
" Grosvenor place, Sept. 14, 1849.

. . . .
"My dear Lord Bishop,.—Some little time ago I
received an anonymous letter containing a bank note
for 1001., and directing me to apply it to her Majesty's
service. Under ordinary circumstances I should have
forwarded it to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, by
whom it would -of course have been added to the
general stock in the coffers of the Treasury. As I
conceive, however, that a certain discretion was vested
in me, by its being forwarded to me and not to him,
I have thought myself at liberty, under the prtsent
emergency, to ask you to apply it, in the event of no
si.;ecial committee having been appointed for the put..
pose, through the medium of some of your admirable
clergy, to the relief of fsmili. s suffering from cholera,
or the losses occasioned by it, in the most afflicted
districts of your diocese. You will excuse my giving
publicity to this letter in order that the donor may be
informed how his generous gift has been used; and in
order that I may not appear say this possible diversion
of it from its intended purpose, to be only making free
with the money of others, I shall venture to send the
same amount to the Bishop of Winchester for distri
bution on the south side of the river.
" I have the honour to be, my dear Lord,
" Your very faithful servant,
" CARLISLE.
" To the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of London."

TO 7'HE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
p(rceive in your last Saturday's (15th)
paper a return of cholera cases, the last on the last is
Newton Abbot, Torquay; deaths, 7 cholera; 1

diarrhea I.
This may mislead many of your readers. I can
vssure you, as Chairman of the Sanitary Board at
Newton Abbot, that we have, as yet, had no cases of
cholera in Newton Abbot. Our town is very
healthy. Cases of diarri.cea do occur, but are speedily
relieved by our medical men.
Toe cases at Torquay have occurred principally in
a back street, very confined and dirty.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
ROBERT RENDELL.

Newton Abbot, Sept 17, 1849.
P.S.— Torquay is in the Newton Abbot Union, this
may account fur the naming Newton Abbot in con-
nexion with Torquay.

FALMOUTH CUURCH•TARD.—A. correspondent
writes ui as follows:—On Monday last, in Falmouth
church-yard, a scene took plJce such as would not be
allowed by the American It.dians to their deceased
friends, and that it should occur among a civilisedehris-
tian people is passing strange. A respectable old in.
habitant was being lowered into tie gri ye,bst tke spec
between other c flies inteoded for that or the deceased
was too small, and it was consequently stopped in its
descent by two of those underneath. The service was
gone through, and the parson left. It WaS, of course,
impossible to leave the Corpse in such a position; the
work of removing old coffins, and pushing and dragging
them about to obtain room therefore commenced. While
in the act of this unseemly work they broke into an old
wretched scene by leaving
cholera coffin, and ended the
the coffin eighteen inches under the surface of the yard.
Our correspondent adds that one of the under coffins
further lowered was
rhbe6dnegceased and mother of
twhhaitche 0
nptraeivneirni prevented doteh ewci
het of
the mourners. Surely we must say, Christianity cannot
so sear our feelings that a subject like this should be no
one's business. lam forced to say that lately our in-
terments lieve been wore like the burying of dogs than,
Christian men and women; indeed, it is worse than in-
eifference, and becomes a sin which punishes with fright-
fel retribution. Evtry man in the county ought to raise
his voice, rigein4 it.— West Briton.
LECTURES ON THE COTTON MANUFACTURE.—Last
night. Mr Frederick W 'mete of Manchester, delivered
hi. third 1-cture on the cotton manufacture, before a
numerous audienc- , at the Whittington Club, Strand.
The lecture consisted of a rtep7d sketch of the rise sad
progress of the British cotton trade, pointing out the
ceincideneo of its growth with the- various improvements
effected in machinery, and showing the simultaneous ad-
vancement of other in ustrial interests, such as the
shipping i,derest, the coal, iron, leather, oil, and other
trades. It also dwelt on the influence of the cotton trade
upon the wealth ')l the Heinen, and of machinery on the
condition and cem-orts of the people. The lecture was
illustrated by a series of work.ng models ot the most
improved machine ry used in the manufacture of cotton
cloth, and the different mariVacturing processes were
gone through systematically, from the cleansing of the
raw cotton to its being finally woven by the power-loom.
For this purpose the a
. pptillitu% was set in motion by
steam R-twer,
when the vari.ms operutions were popularly
expleieed
the lecture excited the greatest interest.
and was very fsvourak,ly received by the auditory. Ic
was originalty iretetttled that the oeurth lecture should
conclude the course; teut it as uneounced last night
that a aupplonentary lc:glare iws to be added.
