otahreaoretisooo-
-
of vessels of every description; and passengers from the
Black Sea, and Ottoman ports, to seventy-two hours,
when the duration of the voyage shall not have occupied
less than twelve days, when less than twelve, the qua
rantine will be increased as many more days as are re-
quired to complete the twelve days. Whilst this measure
will benefit very materially the French steamers running
between Constantinople and Marseilles, made, as it ap-
pears, purposely for them, since they occupy just twelve
days in the voyage, including stoppages at the interme-
diate ports, it will, by securing them all the passengers,
materially affect the English, Peninsular, and Oriental
Company's steamers between the Black Sea, Constanti
nople, and Malta; for as these reach Malta in five days
from Constantinople, it follows that their passengers will
have to perform seven days in the Malta Lazaretto, or
four days more than a passenger leaving at the same
time will be subject to in the Marseilles Lazaretto. We
hope to see the Peninsular and Oriental Company esta •
blish a branch line between Malta and Marseilles. The
following is the official notice of the periods of quaran-
tine to be ordered at Malta under these new regulathns.
The Table of Periods of Quarantine in observance at
the Lazaretto of Malta, as established by the Board of
Health for Arrivals from the Levant, and from various
ports in Barbary.
A bill of health shall be considered as foul when the
country from which a vessel arrives is actually infected
with plague ; it shall be considered as suspected after
the expiration of forty-one days from the last case of
plague ; and clean after the expiration of one year and
one day from the last case of plague.
Bills of health of vesse!a,,, arriving front Egypt and
Syria are never to be considered clean.

Form BILL OF HEALTH.—For merchant vessels and
goods, 21 days after the unloading of susceptible articles ;
for steam vessels, 19 days after the landing of passen-
gers and their effects in the Lazaretto ; for ships of war,
17 days after the landing of passengers and their effects
in the Lazaretto ; for passengers arriving either in
steam vessels, ships of war, or merchant vessels ad-
mitted in the Lazaretto 17 days after exposing their
effects to ventilation ; for vessels carrying pilgrims, 25
days ; for pilgrims, 25 days after being landed, and
their effects placed in depuration in the Lazaretto.

and goods, 15 days after the unloading of susceptible
articles ; for steam-vessels and ships of war, 12 days
after the landing of passengers and effects in the Laza-
retto ; for passengers landing from steam vessels, ships
of war, or merchant vessels, 12 days in the Lazaretto,
after exposing their effects to ventilation ; for vessels
carrying pilgrims, 20 days ; for pilgiims, 20 days after
their effects being placed in depuraetoo.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. IN ST. P ANCRAS Within
the last few days a rumour of a set ions character ha's
obtained extensive circulation in the parish of St. Pan-
cras, concerning the death of Rose tti a Brown, aged 20,
late in the service of Mr. Jenkins, s urveyor, of Hunt-
ley-street, Tottenham-court-road, eint I which has given
rise to a belief that instead of having: .committed suicide,
as she was supposed to have done, al is was murdered.
The inquest on Rosetta Brown was field by Mr. Mills
on the 23rd ult. The evidence wer it to show, that al-
though betrothed to one young m an., she was in love
with another man, when she eonsente d a day or two pre-
vious to her death, to have the banr is between herself
and her betrothed put up in Paddit igt on church. Th,
other person was a lodger in the h our se where Rosetta
Brown was in service, and about five o' clock in the after-
noon of the day in which she put up, , the banns of mar-
r:age she was discovered in Mr. Jenitint 's coal cellar with
her throat cut from ear to ear and a. ca rving knife lying
near to her. There was no medical ma ,n examined as to
the nature of the wound, and some fri et ids of the deceased
charged the suspected party with be'in g the cause of her
death, and were about to give evil en ce in reference to
her alleged seduction, but the deputy-i 3oronor would not
allow them to proceed, alleging, as his reason, if they al-
lowed private character to be assail ed in that court,
they might " sit there till doomsday." A long alterca-
tion subsequently ensued, and ultimately, a verdict was
returned, to that effect, " That4lecesta 3d destroyed her-
self, but what.was her state of mind
~.at the time there
was not sufficient evidence to prove." The friends of
the deceased, at the time, loudly expressed their dissatis-
faction, and subsequently had the boi ly examined by a
surgeon, who, it is stated, declares that the deceased's
throat was cut in such a way that i:t was impossible she
could have done the act herself. t Mace the occurrence,
the suspected party has disappeared, and it is alleged
that he has become a lunatic, and is one hundred miles
off in an asylum. The affair is about .to undergo a rigid
examination.

GEORGE FREDERICK COOKE'S WATCH.--A DELr-
CATE COMPLIMENT.—It is known that the widow and
step-daughter of the great tragedian Cooke, are living,
respected citizens of St. Louis—the latter, married to a
gentleman universally esteemed for his social qualities
and business intelligence. The admiration of the elder
Kean for the genius of Cooke, and his monument,,,i
tribute over his remains in St. Paul's church
New York, will be also remembered; as well no, that
Charles Kean, even now, is having this mow,
,rent re-
newed. The widow and other co nnexio
parted actor, on Mr. Kean's arrival at of the de
Louis, signi-
fied their desire that he should b,ecor.rjo.
of their celebrated relative's watc)-_,; and, accordingly,
the day before yesterday, it was ihe depository
presented to him. It
is a plain, old-fashioned gold',me-piece, the cuter case
bearing the initials G. F. C. The relic is one of high
interest, and of all men o. ion the stage be should guard

generosity of he'et.--St. Louis Paper.

DINNER TO THE WORKMEN.
(enom sun OWN REPORTER.)
Last evening---" new year's eve,"—an entertainment,
consisting of a dinner of plain but generous fare was
given by the directors of this company to all the work-
men whose respective avocations would allow them to
partake of it, and a bonne .of a day's pay was given to
those who were unable to ettend,—a generous, hearty
arrangement, and one which we venture to predict will
not only go far to - promote good feeling amongst all
employed in the service of this company, whose progress
we are happy to chronicle, but will be an
inducement to its servants, to leave nothing undone
which may promote .ee prosperlty7-which may place it
in a rank with other lines possessing greater means,
and, consequently, more', appliances; and which will,
therefore, increase: its , fraffie, and thereby the
means by which they lire. The dinner took place
shortly after five o'cloe in the workshops at Stratford,
in a building 270 fee; loug and 70 broad, which was
tastefully decorated with 'evergreens, chandeliers, flags
and banners, end eniblmes in gas. The meat prominent
of which were, "G. IL," ;George Hudson, Esq.,) and
D. W., (D. Waddivtee, Esq.,) the Deputy Chair-
man of the company. At 'the upper end of the
building -a raised plateirrn had Smell ;erected, at which
the majority of the trucaei ecCupietraeats, for the enter
tainment was not witiseet ix, t Visitors. Inures arranged
in the form of a canont 'se: crimson cloth and damask,

the Right Here the Lord Mayor of ''irark, George Hud-

is not here this evening to oecupY thct position which I
have this evening the honoue to het et - for I feel cone-

that a kinder heart does not heist in the breast of man.—

sentiment—a sentiment -entertained, le common by
the directors of this company,: becanssel: am sure it
will be found by practice that this is ,e oril;n mode by
which the business of a railwase coul( be successfully
carried out.—(Loud chem.) 1, hen t was •contenen
hinted that, as Peterborough alr`ladY I.d railway pleted to open the Ely and''Petetboretth branch, it, was,
com-
munication in connexion with the -girth-Western, it ,
would not be considered a great Sreat, I the inhabitants!
of Peterborough to have a rilpetitim of the ex:-
citement consequent upon. the of rang of another
line ; and therefore, the directors ie the Eastern
Counties thought that instead of' holding a festive enter-
tainment at Peterborough, they shouli hold it within
the walls of their own workshops, and give it to their
own workmen.—(Enthusiastic cheering.) We hope to
prove to those who are employed on- ths railway, that
the directors entertain the sentiments of the chairmen,
and that having good men we shall try to keep them—that
they should not lack encetaragemeet, and that we cot-idplace our feet under the same table, arA feel as muchinterest in their welfare es in that of our familiesee-
(Loud cheers.) These being the views of the chairtnen,
ua
which are participated in by his colleagues, I alitire
you will join with me in responding to the toast--,lnein
times nine—until you make the welkin ring.—(The nu-
merou assembly rose and cheered. They were indeed
loud and prolonged.)
Mr. Bruton favoured the company with a -song, varY
complimentary to the Chairman, toed to locomotion in
general. ,
The CHAIRMAN next proposed "The Railway interest,
and its great architect, George Stephenson." After al-
luding to the great advantages which the invention of
railways had conferred upon the peosee of this country,
he went on to relate an anecdote of the subject of the
toast. He said he had the pleasure of dining with Mr.
Stephenson in Newcastle some time age. He referred to
the construction of his first loconiottee, now 40 y.'eri
ago, when it was stigmatised as a whimsical schema, lie
stated, in addition, that he never felt greater clifficStltY
than when stating, in the witness box, that -the engine
would go at the rate of ten miles an hour ; but instead of
ten miles an hour; fifty or sixty were easily accern
plisbed.
The toast was received with acclamation.
Stephenson. P
Mr. BIDDER briefly returned thanks on Wulf ofAr.tephenson. Ile said if railways were carried 0t
their fullest extent that Union workhouses and. pons
would become tenantless ,on account of the luerStive
employment which they would create for the industrial
portion of the eummunity.
The CHAIRMA.N next, gave, " The Sheriffs of Middle-
sex and London." ,
Mr. Sheriff liEeetAnue briefly returned thanks., lie
said such a gathering beat the Baron's ,bolle-----
(Laughter.) If: they had not had the ; yehelog
they had had the flowing can and merry feces,
and merry hearts to boot. He . concludefe by'
proposing the health of Mr,.Waddington. He Bald he
was the oldest member of the board of directien of
either the Eastern Counties or the Northern and Eastern,
and had therefore seen many administrations ; bat he
had never met witheeiny man who was more ready to
promote the welfare of those in the service of the com-
pany than their Chairman.—(Loud cheers.) One fact
was worth a thousand speeches. That morning he be-
sought him to reverse a decision on aceotmt
of the family of the subject of his application.
He said he had never yet refused any request ,'hich
he (Mr. Sheriff Kennaird) had made to him, becatne he
had never laid before him any cases save those worthy
of relief. He wished they could have heard the expres-
sions which he made use of on the occasiott. He said
truly, when he said that the way to keep good servants
was to treat them fairly—to treat them justly and well,
—(Loud cheers.) The directors had but one desire—to
treat all kindly, and that there would be an estrit de
corps amongst them. Whatever the papers might Say to
the contrary, there was not a better managed railway in
the kingdom than the Eastern Counties.,e--(Cheers.)
The toast was enthusiastically receieed.
The CHAIRMAN felt proudly, ;,tit deeply, the honour
they had conferred upon Ito,
of himself if - lie should be asfiamed
conduct that he did !net acknewledge t
rehat he flt the
deepest gratitude fur the way they had spondede to the

in i'.-Aed the Eastern Counties he had no elm of
