is still able to work as a carpenter, but those who are in
a position to employ him are afraid to do so, lest it
r should get to the ears of the Marquis and give offence !
k The old man, who, after having brought up a family, and
kept aloof from parochial aid, now feels the misery of
his position, declares with tears in his eyes that the vote
he gave to Mr. Bolt was given by mistake, and owing to
the confusion which prevailed at the polling-booth :
there can be no doubt of the truth of this, so that he is
fairly entitled to the sympathy of all, includirg those
even who think it more expedient to truckle to the no-
minally great, than to manifest an honest spirit of lode-
p end ence.— Stamford Mercury.
'FILE STATE TRIALS.—DOBBIN AND DALTON.—
" Call Henry Dalton!" said the crier. There was a
breathless pause. " Here he is," said the same func-
tionary, as an uncommonly curious looking character
made his way to the witness table. There was a sup-
pressed titter as he appeared ; and some almost audibly
said, " Oh!" Imagine a youngish man, with a whisker-
less, bald, and somewhat comical face, his neck embraced
by a high black stock, and habited in a faded and rather
abused shooting jacket, or short !frock, of dark green
cotton velvet. What from the singularity of the cos-
tume, and the jaded appearance of the face, the effect
produced by the appearance of Dalton—who is a true
type of the " Pcor Scholar" genus—was not the most
favourable. However, as you will perceive by the re-
port, his testimony was clear, consistent, and without a
single flaw; and though the Attorney-General put him
literally on the rack, by the most searching cross-ex-
amination, still he never wavered for an instant, or con-
tradicted himself in the slightest particular. During the
examination of Dalton, the pranks of Dobbin were dis-
gusting, though irresistibly comic. At times, he would
turn up his eyes to heaven, as if expecting a visible mani-
festation of Divine wrath, in the shape of a thunderbolt,
for the especial head of Henry Dalton ; then he would
laugh, as it were at the audacity of his perjury; anon, he
would be convulsed with mirth, the thing was becoming
so preposterous. In fact, he overacted virtuous indigna-
tion and amazed innocence to that degree, that, when he
joined his hands together, and swore " Upon my oath, I
never saw the man in all my life," there was a loud and
general burst of laughter in the court. It forcibly re-
&tided me of the same description of compliment paid
by a London audience to Vandenhoff's personation of
logo, when that human devil kneels down with his
furious dupe, and appeals to heaven. In both cases—
Dobbin's and lago's—there was a kind of comic pro-
fanation that excited mingled laughter and disgust.—
Dublin Evening Mail.
JOHN MITCUEL.—We yesterasY (sa3 s the Stir-
ling Observer of Thursday) saw a letter dated Bermuda,
12th of September, from an officer of The 42d Regiment,
in which he notices Mitchel, and says ghat he is a poor,
miserable, broken-hearted looking creature, and in
wretched health. He is not i4t to Work with other
convicts; indeed, he is not fit for it.
SINGULAR Cam—About two or three weeks ago,
as we are informed, a man named William Dyer, a shop-
keeper, of Diglis-street, and who was formerly in the
City police force, having a bad finger, put a blister to it,
soon after which it is said he handled a potato which
was diseased, and it is presumed that the effect was poi-
sonous, for his finger and hand soon presented a serious
aspect, and he went to the Infirmary, where mortifica-
tion ensued, and he died on Saturday last. We under-
stand that a post merlon examination of the body has
been made, and that the internal appearances were de-
cidedly healthy, leading to the conclusion that death
could only have been occasioned by the introduction of
some poisonous matter to the system.—Worcester Chro-
aisle.

STOCKPORT. MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT. Two
FEMALES KILLED BY A HORSE.—On Tuesday night, a
carter of Alfred Orrell, Esq., of Cheadle Grove, re•
turned from Manchester, with a waggon laden with
cotton, drawn by three horses, and, the waggon was, as
usual, drawn into the yard at Travis Brook Mill, Heaton
Norris. A valuable mare, nearly thorough bred, had
been placed in the team for the purpose of breaking it
in for carriage; purposes; when taken out, the drag-
chain accidentally fell upon the heels of the young
mare, she took fright, and galloped out of the yard
towards Brinksway-bridge, where three women were re
turning to Hope Hill, from their work at Mr. Hunt's
mill. The animal attacked them with great ferocity
with its forefeet, beating them violently to the ground,
and then trampling upon them with continuous fury.
It then stopped quietly upon tke bridge, without inflict-
ing any further mischief, and was conducted back to the
mill. The females being seriously injured—two of them
fatally so—wero carried to the Woolpack Inn, Brinks-
way. Ann Faulkner was wounded about the head and
body in a frightful manner, so much so, that she died
the same night; whilst the other (Ann Sherrock) had
sustained such severe fractures behind the right ear
from the hoof of the animal, that no surgical aid could
prevent her death, which occurred the next day. The
carter was instantly dismissed from his situation, and
the noble-looking animal, worth 120 guineas, was de-
stroyed on Wednesday, by direction of the owner.
BATHS AND WASIIHOUSES.—On Wednesday a nu-
merously attended meeting of the supporters of the above
institution, founded for the benefit of the labouring
classes in the north-west districts, of the metropolis, was
held in the committee-room of the institution, iu George-
street, Euston-square. It appeared by the report, that
from the formation of the institution in 1846, up to the
10th of September last, the total number of bathers had
been 278,771; and 87,376 poor women had washed, dried,
ironed, and mangled the clothes of themselves and fami-
lies, averaging at least four in number for each family.
'The present building is totally inadequate to the num-
bers who daily apply, both for the purposes of bathing
and washing, to meet the exigency, a aubscription has
been opened for its extension. Amongst the donors are
her Majesty and Prince Albert, the Queen Dowager,
the Archbishop of Canterbury, and many of the nobility.
The institution is self-supporting, so that all sums re-
ceived for its extension will be applied exclusively for
that purpose. The committee, also, on the Ist of Janu-
ary, 1848, established and commenced a branch for the
purpose of affording the poor in the north-west districts
the means of purifying and cleansing their dwellings.
Since then, in the most wretched, unhealthy, and over-
crowded dwellings, they have cleansed and purified with
chlorides, &c., 273 rooms, 140 staircases, 235 closets, 154
passages, and 62 areas. The labouring man is offered
by the committee the means of purifying his dwelling at
the cost of one penny; and in cases of illness, &c., the
work is done gratuitously. The expenditure of this
branch has exceeded the sum originally contributed.
A blrsEnur Mantzurs.—A few days ago the
furniture, &c., of the chateau of the miserable Marquis
d'Aligre, in the village of Chatou, between Paris and St.
Germain, was sold by auction. This old Marquis was
the richest man in France; he possessed 300 kouse3 in
Paris and other towns, 50 estates in different parts of the
kingdom, and upwards of 2,000,0001. capital placed in
the public funds of different countries; and yet the fur-
niture of his favourite ;chateau was old, dirty, wretched
in the extreme, and would have disgraced a low lodging
house. There was not a decent picture, not a cushion
or carpet that was not ragged, nor a chair or table that
was nut ricketty, not a piece of crockery that was net
cracked.
ACCOUCHEMENT IN A HURRY.—On Tuesday after-
noon a lady drove up to one of our fashionable hotels,
and on stepping from her carriage made a hasty entrance
into the hotel, and proceeded at once up stairs. So
singular a circumstance attracted the attention of the
landlady, who followed her up. ''The lady inquired for
a bed-room, but was told she could not have one, as they
were all engaged, the hotel being full. She would not,
however, take a denial, but proceeded at once to a bed-
room, where, in less than half an'hour she was confined
with twins. The infants are dead, but the lady, who is
of good family, is, we are happy to say, doing well. We
understand that she had been seeking for lodgings, but
could not succeed in obtaining any; and, finding it
might be extremely inconvenient, if not dangerous, to
prolong her search, she determined on taking posses•
non of the first bed-room she came near.—Brighton
Gazette.

ARRIVAL OF LORD ASHLEY AT EDINBURGH.—
We understand that Lord Ashley, one of the Commis-
sioners of the General Board of Health, arrived in Edin-
burgh last night, in order, it is understood, to assist
the local board in making the necessary arrangements
in connexion with the appearance of cholera in this
quarter.—Edinburgh Witness.
THE Two Ditomios.—Among the persons present
in the Liverpool Police-court en Saturday, were two
gentlemen, named Hutton, brothers, whose countenance,
dress, and figure were so - exactly alike, that it would
have been perfectly impossible to have sworn positively to
the identity of either; and, in fact, one was addressed by
an officer of the court in mistake for the other.—Liverpool
Mail.
Her Royal Highness the Princess of Parma and
her August Consort, with the Conde de Montemolin and
, attended by the
his Royal Highness lion Fernando
Marquis de Pastoret, Mr. Borthwick, and M. Marcelin
de Fresno, visited yesterday St. Paul's Cathedral, the
. Temple, and the new palace at Westminster. After in-
specting, under the polite direction of the authorities,
the Cathedral, the Royal pariy were received at the
Temple by Mr. Rogers, QC., and treasurer, who con-
ducted their Royal Highnesses over the magnificent
church and the hall of the Middle Temple, in both of
which they expressed much interest. At the new
Houses of Parliament the illustrious visitors were re-
ceived by Mr. Barra', who accompanied them over every
department of the works. Their Royal Highnesses ex-
pressed their great admiration of the buildings, and at
each place their thanks to the authorities for their atten.
lions. The Princess of Parrot-and her Royal Consort
will proceed on Saturday to Windsor, on a visit to her
Majesty the Queen.

THE Fowls SCHOLARSHIP.—BIRMINGHAM, WED-
NESDAY.—The first examination for the Yowls Scholar-
ship was concluded at King Edward's School in this
town yesterday. 'These scholarships (founded in honour
of the Earl of Powis) are intended to promote the
cause of literature in Wales; they are open to all natives
of the Principality under twenty years of age, and may
be held at any colleges in the universities.ot Cambridge
or Oxford. Fourteen candidates presented themselves,
and were subjected to a long and searching examination
in the Welsh language and literature, as well as in
classical learning and theology. The examiners were
the Venerable Archdeacon Williams of Liandovery, and
the Rev. Rowland Williams, fellow and tutor of King's
College, Cambridge. The Earl of Powis and Lord Lyt-
telton were present, and took an active part in the exa-
mination. The following is a copy of the examiners'
award:—" Yowls Scholarship, Birmingham, 1848.—We
have agreed, after careful examination, to place the
candidates who are worthy especial mention in the fol-
lowing order:—William Evan Hughes, David Thomas,
John Skinner Jones, Ebenezer Wood Evans. We ac-
cordingly recommend that Mr. Hughes and Mr. Thomas
be elected scholars; and we certify that the two others
acquitted themselves creditably.—John
Williams, Row-
land Williams, examiners."

ALLOCUTION OF PIUS IL

We have just received a very singular communi-
cation from Newcastle-upon-Tyne—our correspondent
signing his name A****** F******—being a long
Latin epistle addressed to the Sovereign of the Ro-
man States, in reference to his memorable allocution
of November. November, 1847 /—the period has
already, to a journalist, something, comparatively
speaking, of the remoteness of antiquity But, to
render the distance of place in some degree compa-
tible with the remoteness of date, the document is
written from Rio Janeiro, 23d of January, 1848.
From all these circumstances it is unnecessary to
observe that the letter is of an interest too far off to
admit of its publication in our columns in the middle
of October, 1848. The event to which it has especial
reference is long since below the horizon of passing
occurrences. As it is, however, the communication
is of a sufficiently remarkable character both in re-
gard to its tendencies and its style of composition to
permit of our alluding to it in a few sentences.
The purpose of the address may be compre-
hended from the wording of the introductory pas-
sage, where the writer says :—" Most Holy Father—
I have read in a periodical of this western city,
called the Journal of Commerce, the allocution' of
November, addressed by your Holiness to the Council
of State, and profound grief has overwhelmed me, be-
cause a people, oppressed under the diabolical yoke of
servitude, had placed their hopes in you, and had
anticipated in your exaltation the development and
completion of the noble work of liberation commenced
by Gregory VII., of glorious and holy memory.'
The writer then proceeds in a tone of remonstrance at
the authoritative style of the allocution as a politico-
ecclesiastic manifesto ; maintaining the principle of
equality in a state of freedom and civilization
0 Imes in Libertatem vocati sunt fratres. After
transcribing a passage from the preface to the "Par-
liamentary History of the French Revolution," by M.
Buchez, to the effect that it is necessary to distinguish
between the principle and the form of power, those
being in fact two things very distinct, very capable of
separation, and very different, though they are
nevertheless almost always confounded together—
"therefore," says he, "among Christians no autho-
rity whatever can be admitted, whether civil
temporal, or spiritual, except that power operate in
Christ and through Christ." He consequently warns
the Pontiff from following in the dogmatic course of
his predecessors. He hints at once, directly and
pointedly, to the separation of the temporal and
spiritual authority exercised by the Pope, observing
Attende tibi, quia, si 71CMO potest duobus Dominus ser-
vire, tu, Christo simul Casari, divitibus simul et
pauperibus service non poteris. The letter concludes
with this adjuration—" Through the bowels of the
mercy of our God, arise ! arise 1" What the writer
would actually wish the Sovereign of the Roman
States to do is rather feebly indicated—it is some-
thing approaching, however, to the suggestion of tho
Pope un-Popeing himself and then re-Popeing himself
—un-Popeing himself by the resignation of his tem-
poralities,' and re-Popeing himself by gathering up
more tightly the reins of his spiritualities.

HAYMARKET THEATRE.

This theatre will be opened for the season on Sa-

turday night. During the short period which has
elapsed since its occupation by the Adelphi company
it has undergone various alterations, and the interior
has been newly decorated, under the superintendence
of Mr. Charles Manby. The decorative portion has
been entrusted to the artistic skill of Mr. Sang. The
entrance has been generally improved, and it is in-
tended to erect an internal porch to keep out the wind,
and to convert the present hall into a crush room.
The lobbies are of a fresh, cool, green colour, with
crimson lines round the doors. Backs have been
added to all the seats in the circle ; the ugly square
columns which formerly impeded the view from the
corner boxes have been superseded by graceful palm
tree stems of white and gold. The hand rests on all
the tiers are of amber and crimson satin. The fur-
niture of the dress circle is cerise and straw-colour
damask, and that of the stalls, pit, and upper circles,
a rich crimson damask, harmonising with the flock
paper of the private boxes, which have crimson silk
damask curtains and fringe.
The centre chandelier and those round the circle
have been improved by additional glass drops, and we
were glad to perceive by the gilded network in the
centre of the ceiling that increased ventilation had
been attended to. •

The general tone of the house is cream colour and
gold. The ceiling and the proscenium alone aspire to
high artistic decoration. The ceiling forms a coup
d'ccil admirable from its graceful outline, its brilliant
colouring, and the original distribution of the archi-
tectural parts. The pervading tint is an aerial blue,
intermingled with gold, and ornamental and figura-
tive painting.
In the spaudrils of the four corners are depicted the
Seasons, with their appropriate symbols, charmingly
studied, and in tone of colouring only to be surpassed
by the group of Tragedy and Comedy in the centre of
the proscenium, which emulates some of the best
works of the old masters. The inner proscenium
contains the royal arms, branching off into arabesques
and groups of figures, flowers, and birds. The
hideous columns which formerly encumbered the pro-
scenium, and circumscribed the space on the stage,
have been removed, and are replaced by well-propor-
tioned pilasters, which are decorated with a running
pattern of the Indian cane, with its gracefully falling
leaves entwined with bright flowers. The fronts of
the proscenium boxes present a rich and refined effect,
glittering with gold and arabesques containing the
royal arms and the Prince's plume.
The single gap we perceived was the royal box,
which as yet is not decorated. The reason of this is,
we understand, that it is not Mr. Webster's pro-
perty, but remains in the hands of the proprietress
who reaps the benefits of the royal visits. The ge-
neral effect even by daylight is admirable, and when
the drop scene is added, which is intended to harmo-
' vise with the interior decoration of the house, the
ensemble will be exceedingly beautiful.

COURT CIRCULAR.
WINDSOR, THURSDAY.
The Queen and Prince Albert took their usual
morning walk.

The loyal Family took walking and pony exercise
in the grounds adjacent to the Castle.
The Royal dinner party at the Castle this evening
included her Majesty the Queen of the Belgian?,
her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, her Serene
Highness the Princess of Hohenlohe Langenbourg,
the Princess Eliza of Hohenlohe Langenbourg, the
Lady in waiting on the Queen of the Belgians, Lady
Anna Maria Dawson, Baroness de Speth, his Ex-
cellency the Belgian Minister, the Commanding Offi-
cer of the 2d Life Guards (Colonel Williams), the
Commanding Officer of the Coldstream Guards
(Colonel Codrington), and Major de Moerkerke.
The Band of the Coldstream Guards was in attend-
ance during dinner, and performed the following
pieces:—
Overture' e Wallace.
" Maritan
Waltz, "The Pearl of England" .. Jullien.
Selection from "La Figlia del Reggimento" Donizetti.
Valse et Galop "Fascination" (Alma) Costa.
The Eclipse Polka Koenig.
The Queen's private Band afterwards attended in
the Castle.

The Commissioners for the Reduction of the Na-
tional Debt had a meeting yesterday in the Treasury.
There were present the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
the Governor of the Bank of England, and the De-
puty-Governor. Mr. Higham, Secretary and Comp-
troller-General, was in attendance.
. Dispatches from the Governor of the Gambia Set-
tlement were received yesterday at the Colonial-office.
Dispatches for the Governor of the Cape of Good
Hope were sent off yesterday evening from the Co-
lonial-office.

WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING. His Royal
Highness Prince Albert has been busily engaged a great
part of the day in marking out the precise line for the
continuation of the Richmond line of the South-Western
Railway through the Homo Park to its termination in
the town of Windsor. In this business his Royal High-
ness was attended by Mr. Page, surveyor of the South-
Western Railway, and several other professional persons
connected with railway affairs. Ihe part of the Home
Park which is intended to be devoted to the completion
of this line, is the beautiful plain extending under the
north terrace of the Castle from the foot of " The
Slopes" to the banks of the Thames. In the reign of
Queen Anne this place was converted into an ornamental
ground, and called " the Mae strieht Garden," and daring
the last two or three reigns it has been Occasionally used
for military reviews ; but as at present laid out by the
proceedings of the day, it appears there will be two
parallel lines of road running diagonally across it, one
of them for a continuation of the railway, and the other
for a roadway for omnibuses. These parallel roads
are to commence on the left or eastern side of the plain,
about midway between the castle and the river,
and strike into the western side, into the head of
Datchett-lane, close by the Hospital of the Naval
Knights, near whichbuilding is to be the terminus.:
Viscount and Viscountess Sydney have been enter-
taining company, the past week, at Frognal, their seat
in Kent; among whom were the Duke and Duchess of
Buceleuch, the lion. Captain ilnd Mrs. Cast, the
Marquis and Marchioness of Anglesea and Lady
Adelaide Puget, the Ron. Montague togtord, &c,

THE BOARD OF HEALTH.

The General Board of Health, which was re-
cently appointed, yesterday issued its first official
circular, containing public documents and other in-
formation and correspondence, for the use of union
medical officers, members of local boards, and others,
charged with the execution of the provisions and
regulations issued under the authority of the Public
Health Act and the Nuisances Removal Act of 1848.

The whole of the papers contained in this publica-
tion possess considerable interest, but several of them
have already been printed in our columns. The
following communications which have been received
by the Board of Health respect'ng the cholera, and
which are printed in the circular, are well wortby.of
perusal :
COMMUNICATIONS RECEIVE D BY THE BOARD
OF HEALTH RESPECTING CHOLERA.

REPORT OF DR. SUTHERLAND AND R. D. GRAINGER, ESQ,
IN RELATION TO THE CASES OF CHOLERA REPORTED TO
HAVE. OCCURRED AT HULL, ON BOARD OF A VESSEL

THAT HAD COME FROM HAMBURCH.

We have now fulfilled the instructions given us by the
General Board of Health, in regard to the inquiry into
the reported cases of cholera in Hull, and the general
sanitary state of that town, and beg respectfully to re-
port—

First. That the general sanitary condition of Hull is
(as compared to former periods) favourable, and in the
evidence of the registrars, the mortality of the last
quarter is below the average.
Second. That recently considerable progress has been
made iu draining the borough, and the cleaning of streets
and cesspools in the old town is now for the most part
better done than formerly.
Third.—That much still remains to be done, and
there are many offensive ditches in the immediate out-
skirts of the town that require cleansing or covering,
and nuisances, &c., that require removal.
Fourth. That the class of diseases which usually pre-
cede an outbreak of cholera have been less prevalent
than usual during the last three months ' • that diarrhoea
and dysentery have been chiefly confined to infants, and
very few adults have been affected ; and that fever and
epidemic diseases generally have been very few in
number.

Fifth. That, nevertheless, two or three cases have re-
cently occurred in the town, which have borne a close
resemblance to Asiatic cholera, though one of them ap-
Fars to have been imported from Hamburgh.
Sixth. That an outbreak of the disease occurred on
board the Prussian barque Pallas; five of the crew hav-
ing been affected, and three having died.
Seventh. That the occurrence of other two cases of
diarrhoea on board within the last twenty-four hours
might almost be considered 'as indicating a further
tendency to the development of the disease in the sur-
vivors. .

Eighth. That the cues in question appear to have
been imported, the men having been exposed for some
hours to the epidemic influence at Hamburgh, after
coming from a healthy country.
Ninth. That the immediate exciting cause appears to
have been the eating of a large quantity of partially
decayed plums and drinking acid beer: and we enter-
tain great doubts whether, apart from this circumstance,
the disease would have manifested itself.

Tenth. That there is no proper medical officer to at-
tend to cases of premonitory diarrhoea or cholera either
in the docks or on the river, and cases of such diarrhcel
may at any time pass into cholera, and the disease ap-
pear to have broken out in the port, whereas it may only
have been the result of the neglect of the premonitory
symptoms with which the crew may have arrived.
Eleventh. That it appears extremely important that in
the present critical state of the disease, some competent
medical men should be appointed to visit all crews on
their arrival from cholera ports, in order to put a stop to
cholera by cutting short its premonitory symptoms when-
ever present.

Twelfth. That, considering, the history of the cases on
board the Pallas in all their bearings, they appear to
afford very strong evidence against the doctrine of conta-
gion in this disease.
Thirteenth. That the relaxation of the quarantine
which has just been raide will be of service if accompa-
nied by the appointment of a temporary medical super-
intendent, as already advised.
Fourteenth. That, considering the close communica-
tion which exists between Hull and Hamburgh, and thei
progress of the disease westward, it would be very ad-
visable at once to put the Nuisances Removal and Con-
tagious Diseases Prevention Act in force, and to organize
a local board of health.

Fifteenth. That the board should be constituted of
members of the town council and of poor•law guardians,
both of Hull, which is not under the Poor-law Commis-
sioners, and of Sculcoates, which is under them. The
two districts form in reality ono town, and unity of
action would be very advisable, and a due proportion of
medical practitioners is indispensable.
Sixteenth. That the Sculcoates Union contains two
workhouses where accommodation might be obtained for
cholera cases, and another temporary hospital might be
obtained in some intervening point of the district.
Seventeenth. That the Hull wcukhouso is quite un-
suited for such a purpose. It stands in one of the prin-
cipal streets, has no back entrance, is badly drained, the
wards are low and badly lighted, and the ventilation
most offensive.

Eighteenth. That an adequate number of dispen-
saries,Jor treating the premonitory stage, ought to be
established, if the disease should make its appearance.
Nineteenth. That apart from the desirableness of
treating cholera cases at home as far as practicable,
there are very great exits attending the opening of spe-
cial cholera hospitals • one class of these we believe are
fairly illustrated in the evidence of Mr. Hardy, who is
an experienced practitioner. Any such provision that
may be necessary ought to be so placed, and conducted
under such arrangements as to avoid exciting alarm and
injuring public feeling.
Lastly. That although our opinion, from examination
subsequently made, has induced us to believe that the
cases which have occurred both in the town of Hull and
on board the Pallas, have a closer relation to true
Asiatic cholera than we at first considered them to have,
we beg to repeat our former conclusion, that there is
nothing that would lead us to expect a special outbreak
of cholera in Hull more than on any part of the east coast.

THE CHOLERA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sia,—l should conceive there cannot be much. fear
of the cholera being in London, as it seems some of
the authorities do not care about leaving all the filth
of the streets before the houses of the inhabitants.

It is now nearly a fortnight since the street in which
I live, Duke-street, Stamford -street, had all the slush
swept before the houses, and I suppose it will lay there
till all the miasma has been purified from it by the Itn
and becomes hard, so that a man can carry it away in
a hand-barrow, as I saw one solitary individual doing
last week. Although they seem to have forgotten to
remove the filth, I must give them credit that they
have not forgott( n to send their claim for cleansing,
or more properly for sweeping the filth together and
there leaving it. I shall certainly next time have it
swept back again into the street instead of running
the risk of imbibing the poison every time I go in
or out.

I find in going through any low neighbourhood
he gutters are actually blocked with filth.
Yours, &c., G. D.

THE CHOLERA AND THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHY-
SICIANS.—The President and Council of the Royal
College of Physicians have appointed a committee,
consisting of the most eminent members of the col-
lege, who will immediately take into their considera-
the adoption of such measures as may be deemed
expedient for securing the public safety during the
prevalence of the cholera in this country.. With this
view they will meet at stated periods in the first
instance, for the purpose of drawing up a brief sum-
mary of cautions and directions, in order to remove
certain unfounded apprehensions which have been
occasioned amongst the people, more especially
the lower classes, by certain statements contained
in the authorized circular of the General Board
of Health, recently issued. In this document
the following passage occurs :—" Whenever Asiatic
cholera is epidemic, there is invariably found
among a great number of the inhabitants an extraor-
dinary tendency to irritation of the bowels; and this
fact suggests that every article of food which is
known to favour a relaxed state of the bowels should,
as far as possible, be avoided, such as every variety of
green vegetables, as cabbage, &c., whether cooked or
not. With reference to this paragraph, Dr. Paris,
the president of the Royal College of Physicians,
writes as follows :—" The first great object appears to
me to sustain, by every practical means, the highest
possible standard of health ; and to accomplish this
object it has been recommended by authority that the
quantity of vegetable food should be diminished or
withdrawn. The probable consequence would be to
substitute a less healthy diet than persons have been
accustomed to, and to prepare the way for the incur.
sion of disease. I think a hint of this kind would be
highly salutary. The fallacy is FO mischievous, that
the public mind should be disabused with respect to
it without delay."
THE CHOLERA.—The highly favourable change in
the weather, it is to be hoped, bas checked the progress
of fatal cholera cases in the metropolis. Only one natal
case was reported yesterday—that of a person in the
Tower. The attacks of diarrhces were reported to be
numerous and severe, with, however, very satisfactory
statements of the success of the treatment recommended
for checking the disease at once in its first atte or in
premonitory symptoms.

We understand that her Majesty's determination to
return to England overland was the cause of several cu-
rious occurrences. At Forfar, the report of the royal
party having arrived at the railway station was almost
entirely looked upon as a hoax, and few were present.
Bailie Craik was the only person to whom her Majesty
spoke, the conversation being confined to asltitz why

that it arose from a change being made in the engines.
At Glammis, where the train had to change rails, an
amusing instance of the universal application of railway
regulations was afforded. The porter having come out
with a lantern, the Prince asked for a light for his cigar,
but, with the utmost coolness, the reply was, "
smoking allowed here, Sir,"—a rebuff which, we have
no doubt, the Prince took in good part.— Witness.
The Brighton Gazette says—" We are happy to
hear that it is the intention of her Royal Highness the
Duchess of Gloucester to honour this town with a visit
shortly."
