Note.—The above returns include 214 deaths from
..holera in the metropolis which are given in the returns
of the union officers. The number of attacks reported by
the union officers are—for the metropolis 315, and for
the country 373; but their returns do sot, in general,
comprehend the cases that are treated by medical men
in private practice.

TO THE RIGHT HON. LORD DUDLEY STUART
My Lord,—Pray excuse my troubling your Lordship
with the accompanying 24 rosewood paper knives, made
from a pattern which was given to a lady by an llun-
garian, which was made of oak. As it is not in my
power to contribute to the fund in money, I trust those
trifles will find purchasers amongst the friends of free-
dom. If the ladies would get up a fancy fair in aid of
the woundpd and widows, I will gladly make 24 more,
besides some silk-winders.
As I do not wish my name to be made public, it might
be noticed as a contribution of a week's work and ma-
terials by a working man, B. C. N., and I hope the
example may be of some service, as there are many who
can contribute their labour but not money. I feel that
we cannot do too much for a people who have proved
themselves worthy of freedom.
Your Lordship's most obedient servant,
Sept. 4, 1849. B. C. N.
The wholesale price of the paper knives, by the doeen,
is 125., retail, ls. 6d. each, but for this purpose I think
they ought to be offered to the friends of the Hungarians
at Is. each. They will be found to answer the purpose
quite as well as ivory, which are ss. each, the same size

MEDIC AL DlSTRlCTVisnoas.—Yesterday the City
Board of Health appointed upwards of forty medical
gentlemen to visit the houses of the inhabitants (in ad-
dition to the regular medical staff), so that any persons
attacked with diarrhosa or the other premonitory symp-
toms of cholera should be promptly assisted.
AN UNWELCOME VISITOR—At the moment of
putting the Standard to press this day (Friday), we
were unceremoniously visited by a bullock of huge di-
mensions, on its way from Smithfield to the slaughter-
house. Having walked into our machine-room, he took
up his station between two engines, where he
_became, for
r
about fifteen minutes, a fixed prisoner,.9ot being able
extricate himself from his difficult position. By the as-
sistance of drovers and others, however, his. liberation
was at length effected, to the great delight of ourselves.
and apparently not less so to the beast itselt.—Standard.
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.—The new Act of Parlia-
ment fur the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, passed
on the tat of last month (August), provides that If any
person shall cruelly beat, ill treat, overdrive, abuse, or
tovreir-ueder,ivoi%C: abusedltlseorp. o ,rtcrutroerttoured, any

upon his own view, or upon the complaint and infoima-
non of any other person who shall declare his or her
name and place of abode to the constable, may seize and
secure any off. rider ai.d convey him before a magistrate.
