5. In order that the
.poar may have the means of ob-
taining such assistance promptly, the Committee recom-
mend that the proper authorities should at once establish
dispensaries in those parts of the town which are remote
from the existing medical institutions ; and that they
should also take steps to provide distinctcholera hospitals,
which it will require some time to organize, and which
they believe will be found to be absolutely necessary,
should the epidemic prevail in this metropolis with a se-
verity at all approaching that which it manifested on its
first appearance in England. The Committee wish it to
be clearly understood that theydo not recommend the esta-
blishment of such cholera hospitals on the ground of
effecting the separation of the sick from the healthy,
and of thus preven:ing the spread of the dis
case; but solely in order that, should the epidemic prove
severe, proper attendance and prompt treatment may be
insured for the sufferers from cholera among the poorest
and most destitute class. The existing hospitals, even

labouring under other severe diseases; a measure which,
at the approach of winter especially, would add much to
the distress of the poor.
6. In conclusion, the Committee would urge on the
rich, who have comparatively little to fear fur them-
selves, the great duty of generously and actively minis-
tering to the relief of the poor while the epidemic pre-
vails; Leering in mini that fuel, warm clothing, and
sufficient nourishment, are powerful safeguards against
the disease.
They deem it most desirable that the parish autho-
rities should at once improve the diet and irci ease
the comforts of the poor under their charge, and that
the wealthy should form societies for the supply of
tood, clothing, and fuel, to those who, though not pau-
re, still need charitable assistance in the present
reel geecy.

EAST INDIA.—This afternoon a public sale of 2,072
bags 494 bkts Penang Sugar went at a reduction of
nearly Is per cwt, but the whole sold; good yellow at
343 to 34s 6d, greyish syrupy yellow 30s to 31s, one lot
brown 295. Of Bengal 3,813 bags were offered and sold
at a reduction of Is for grainy, Lut other sorts generally
fetched full rates. Of Madras 1,244 bags were taken in
at 353 to 36s for middling yellow, tine 401, damp 32s to
39s 6d per cwt.
FOREIGN.—The private operations in Foreign Sugar
for the week are, a cargo of yellow Havannah at 20s;
one of Bahia at 16s 3d for brown, and white 203; also
small parcels of yellow Havannah at 36s to 40s, duty
paid. To-day at public sale 843 boxes white Havannah
Sugar were taken in rather above the value—good and
fine at 31s to 32s per cwt.
MOLASSES.—The low rates current for West India
cccasion a good demand to prevail, and the sales for the
week are 300 puns Barbadoes at 143 6d, Cuba 15s to
163 per cwt. Bengal Treacle is in fair request at 15s
to 16s 6d, and at which holders are not so willing to
sell. The stock of Molasses is nearly 3,000 puns
smaller than last year, and deliveries are getting
better, whilst prices rule very low.
TEA.—There has been no arrival this week, and mer-
chants refrained from - übmitting any at auction. No
improvement is visible in the position of the market, and
privately a large amount is on offer. For black prices
remain much the same as on this day week, the amount
of business concluded has been of little moment, as
the trade only purchase sufficient for their present wants.
Congou of ord quality can be bought at 7d, and good
common at lid to 8d per lb. Green is readily offered
upon former low terms, yet there is much dulness in the
trade for all sorts. For Scented Teas the market ex-
hibits some signs of improvement.

TEWIIESBURT.—Mr. Humphrey Brown, M.P. for
Tewkesbury, has taken means which do him much credit
for the preservation of the health and comfort of the
persons employed in the silk mills which he has recently
established in that borough. The lion. Member has
given notice to his workpeople, who are about 250 in
number, that '1 it is particularly regnested that any per-
son suffering from illness, employed in these mills, will
every morning report to the inspecting surgeon to the
establishment the nature and particulars of such illness'
that immediate assistance may be rendered; and it is
also quested that pc rsons unable to attend from illness
may give
.notice as romptly as possible, that advice may
be given."

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS, Nov. 2.
(Before Sir J. WIGRAM.)
His llonour took his seat in the court at Westminster
betwek:n one and two o'clock. There were but a fctv
motions, turning on point of practice, which were
speedily disposed of. The list of causes was called
through, but none of them being ready for argument,
the Cuurt rose early.

A young man, in passing through one of the roads
at the west end of Ashburton, last week, perceived a
couple of hawks in the hedgerow in full combat. He
immediately took off his coat and put it on them, and
secured both without injury. Their talons were so firmly
fixed i❑ each other that eventually one must have fallen
victim to 114 antagonist.--Exeter Gazette.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 2.
TRANSFER OF SHARES—THE QUEEN V. THE CLERK OF
THE OXFORD CANAL COMPANY.
Mr. Sergeant MANNING moved for a rule to show
cause why a mandamus should not issue to the clerk of
the Oxford Canal Company, requiring him to register in
the books of the company the transfer of certain shares
under the following circumstances:—ln 1778 the corpo-
ration of Oxford and a gentleman named Wykeham, en-
