THE MAONET ON BOARD IRON STEAM-SHIPS.—
A paragraph has been going the rounds to the effect
that the stranding of the Great Britain, in Dundrum
Bay, might have been occasioned by the effects of
the iron on the compass. This statement 15
contradicted in a letter of the 27th instant, dated
Clifton, from Captain Claxton, of which the follow-
ing is the substance :—" I can only say that
they (the Great Britain's compasses) were not
found incorrect on previous voyages, as far as my me-
mory serves me, that they were carefully compensated
at Liverpool, that Captain Ilosken was furnished
with a card of corrections, that on my arriving at
Dundrum he informed me he had no fault to find
with them. It is due to Captain Idosken that
the statement should be contradicted, as it would
have been his duty to have obtained my
assistance in ascertaining any error when the .
ship was lightened and uninjured, and everything ready
for again crossing to Liverpool, and which, as you are
aware, nothing prevented our doing on a Tuesday
morning early in October but the southerly gale of
the night before. The publication of such a state-
ment is a great deal too bad, as whatever the intent, the
effect is to shake confidence in iron ships."—Liverpool
Mercury.
Lincoln fair on Tuesday last presented a large show
of steer beasts, great numbers of which were West-
country stock brought by train along the Midland line.
Those of good quality sold pretty readily, at prices fully
equal to the terms of neighbouring fairs ; but those low
in condition sold at lower prices than the run of late
fairs. Fat beasts were not numerous, and what were
offering were generally not of first-rate quality. The
show of sheep was small : beef 6s. to 6s. 9d. per stone,
mutton 6d. per lb. Useful cows sold readily at good
prices. The horse fair presented none of the most in-
viting class of animals; the few useful nags were pretty
eagerly bought up; and, as usual, at the fair of this sea-
son, the owners of rifY.ra,ff animals were bustling about
with all the importance of men who bad a large stake
upon the cast of the fair, though their worldly posses-
sions amounted to three or four shabby horses, or a
string of lean and shaggy ponies.—Stamford Mercury.
THE CHOLERA.—The number of new cases reported
in Edinburgh on Monday were 9, on Tuesday 13, yester-
day 4. The deaths on Monday 3, on Tuesday 3, yes-
terday 3. The recoveries on Monday 3, yesterday 1.
Remaining in Edinburgh, 124. Leith shows almost a
blank return; one case occurred on Tuesday, but neither
deaths nor recoveries have had to be reported since
Thursday last. There are, however, 126 cases there
under treatment. The following are the reports we have
received since our last from the country districts:—At
Loanhead, one new case on Sunday. In Libberton
parish, five new cases on Sunday, and four on Monday.
In Inveresk parish, two new cases, and two deaths oc-
curred o❑ Sunday; four cases and one death on Mon.
