and in the Bay of Naples too, within ten days after
passing t'ne Dardanelles.

Surely, then, if the threat above alluded to has
been made, it would not be wise to risk a collision
between this fleet and our half dozen ships of the line
only—even though we might be aided by the French
Admiral and his three or four ships.
The Russian fleet is commanded by one of the most
active and energetic officers in the navy—Admiral
Count Lazareff, who was seven or eight years a mid-
shipman in our service, and was, I believe, flag lieu-
tenant to Count Heyden at the battle of Navarino.
These facts it is to be hoped that Lord John Rus-
sell and Sir Charles Wood will at once become ac-
quainted with, in order that they may see the pro-
priety of stopping the further reduction of our fleet.

LORD MORPETH'S FAREWELL
ADDRESS TO *HIS CONSTITUENTS.
The Earl of Carlisle (late Lord Morpeth, ALP;)
has addressed the following letter to the electors of
the. West Riding of Yorkshire :

"Castle. Howard, Yorkshire, Oct. '2O.
"Gentlemen,—l dO not purpose to obtrude upon
yolt tbesOrrOws of a private home, but I
_cannot forget
thatthey involve the termination of the politicil con,_
neflon which' it has long been an honour and happi-
41ess for me to hold.

"For the' space of 18 years, With one interval, and
upon no less than-ten occasions, has it been •my good
fortune to be elected by you as your, representative;
in conjunction, at the earlier periods, with the elec-
torS of the whole county of York, whom, on account
of many common interests and many common favours,
I could almost wish to be allowed to associate with
you in the terms of my present respectful and grate-
ful farewell.

"It was to be expected that, during so extended a
time of service, comprising the agitation of ques-
tions which stirred the depths of almost every politi-
cal, social, and religious feeling, I must occa-
sionally have found myself obliged in my views to
disappoint the wishes, and in my public conduct to
act at variance with the convictions of successive
classes of my constituents. Neither can I fail to he
apprehensive that my tenure of bearing offices unde r
the Crown during the larger portion of my represen-
tative service, must necessarily have often unduly
curtailed the attention which I should have wished to
devote to their important . local concerns. I never
yet, however, found them inclined to put an uncandid
construction on my motives or my proceedings ; and
I trust that I may bear with me, during the remain-
ing portion of my life, the assurance of their indulgent
estimate of the past.
" It will always be a source of unmixed pleasure
to me, •if any future opportunities should present
themselves, for showing that my gratitude to them is
not a superficial or transitory feeling.
" Having just returned from paying the sad offices to
the dead, I wish to devote to you, gentlemen, the last
signature of a name, which I unaffectedly feel has
derived its chief illustration from its connexion with
you.—Your ever grateful servant,

" MORPETH."

TILE CHOLERA.

LAmnETII.—A case of Asiatic cholera, certified by
the medical officer, occurred yesterday, in Devon-
shire-street, Princes-road, Kennington-cross.
WOOLWICH, OCT. 20.—A board of medical officers
assembled yesterday, at the Justitia convict ship,
which caused a delay of yesterday's return to a rather
later hour. The number of cases returned up to
twelve o'clook on Wednesday was-36 attacked, 10
deaths, and 5 recoveries. On Thursday there were
•i-. 1 new case, 1 death, and 5 recoveries ; making 37
attacked, 11 deaths, and 10 recoveries. From twelve
o'clock yesterday to twelve o'clock to-day, there have
been no new cases, and consequently there are 37
cases of attack, and 12 deaths, one having died this
morning, and 10 recoveries. The result of the meet-
ing of the medical board and an investigation of the
cases on board the Justitia, is an order that the con-
victs are to be removed out of that vessel, and for the
present will be hulked on board the Hebe and Sul-
phur receiving vessels, opposite Woolwich Dockyard.
The Justitia is also ordered to be removed from her
present position, and will be stationed lower down
the river, where she was formerly placed, or very
nearly in the same spot, where the convicts were
'generally healthy.. ,The inhabitants of the town, and
the convicts at the dodkyard, have hitherto escaped
the slightest symptoms of the disease.
WoastrzsGroup.—We are informed that three fatal
cases of cholera have occurred at Wormingford, in
one family. The children were attacked, and soon
after sunk under the violence of the disease. They
were buried on Tuesday.—Essex Standard.
SUNDERLAND, OCT. 10.—Three cases of Asiatic
cholera occurred last night in this town, one of which
terminated fatally. The sufferers were seamen from
the Baltic, and were attacked on board their re-
spective ships. No traces of the disease have as yet
made their appearance in the town, nor does any ap-
prehension of an attack prevail amongst the inhabit-
ants. The wind blows strongly from the north-east,
with a heavy sea rolling on the coast.
EDINBURGR.—The number of cases of spasmodic
or Asiatic cholera reported at the police office, Edin-
burgh, on the 14th and 15th instant, including Leith
and Newhaven, were—Died, 60; recovered, 11 ; re-
maining, 7.—North British Daily Mil.
WESTMINSTER.—A meeting of the members of the
Westminster Sanitary Association was held last even-
ing at the Literary Institution, Great Smith-street,
for the purpose of adopting such measures against the
cholera as seem most calculated to subdue the effects
of the epidemic. Mr. Elliott, Dr. Aldis, Mr. Wilson,
the Rev. G. Stoddart, and other gentlemen addressed
the meeting.

BROMLEY.—An influential meeting of the inhabi-
tants and ratepayers of the parish of Bromley was
held yesterday at the clerk's office, High-street, " to
consider the best means to be adopted with respect to
the nuisances arising from the factories in Bow
Common-lane." It was resolved that " A deputation,
consisting of the officiating minister, the church-
wardens, and the overseers, do wait on the Commis-
sioners f the Board of Health, represcriting the dan-
gerous effects likely to arise to the health of the
neighbourhood if the nuisances be allowed to remain,
and that they be solicited to use their powerful in-
fluence to remove the same."

POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.
This admirable establishment continues to attract
a numerous company, although it may be considered
the dullest time of the year. The reason is obvious
enough, as it contains within its walls a multitude of
models, machinery, &c., not to be met with elsewhere,
together with instruction in the various branches of
chemistry, natural philosophy, and art, by the
professors of the institution, who daily lecture
on subjects of importance. Models and machinery are
also described, and among these we were much de-
lighted with the lace machine for manufacturing this
beautiful article. The following description will give
our readers some idea of its uses :—The process
through which the cotton passes from the raw state
into various fabrics, first, by the spinning machinery,
the raw material is converted into thread, then
may be observed the platting of the threads to form.
braid by the braiding machine, or we may pass to
the .elaborate_ and
.beautiful lace machinery, and
the same, thread -may be, seen converted into lace of
various-kinds and patterns; the delicate and intricate
movements-in the lace machine appear to dazzle the
eye by their complexity, and almost lead us to sup-
pose the thing impossible, which we still observe going
on before us—that is, a number of threads in motion,
and the finished fabric slowly rising from this appa-
rently confused mass. There are also numerous other
inventions well worth the inspection of the visitors.

RELIEF TO THE HOMEWARD-BOUND.—Our mer-
chants and shipowners will be gratified to find that the
Lords of the Admiralty, of their own accord, and with-
out solicitation, gave orders yesterday by electric tele-
graph for her Majesty's steam-sloop Driver, Commander
Johnson, to proceed from Portsmuth immediattly to
the chops of the Channel with water and provisions for
the relief of the homeward-bound merchant ships pre-
vented from making their respective ports by the preva-
lence of north-easterly winds, and that the steamer left
Portsmouth yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. Their
Lordships have also ordered an available steam-ve sic),
the Trident, Lieutenant-Commander Risk, to be dis-
patched from Cork to the entrance of the Channel for a
similar humw, purpose,
