THE CHOLERA IN JAMAICA.—An extract from a
latter dated Falmouth, December 26, says—" We are happy
to state that the fearful epidemic which has created such
havoc throughout the island is fast disappearing; there is
not a new case reported in our town to-day, and the accounts
from the other districts are very favourable."
ROYAL SAPPERS AND MINERS —WOOLWICH, JAN.
23.—Two sergeants. two first corporals, three second cor-
porals, and three privates of this branch of the Ordnance
corps stationed at Woolwich, embarked at Roff's Wharf at
half-past 9 o'clock A.M., to-day, for London, to join a com-
pany of the Royal Sappers and Miners which lett Chatham
this morning for London, and are to be quartered in Kensing-
ton Palace to take charge of the different sections of the
articles to be exhibited in the Crystal Palace in Hyde-park.
A number of non-commissioned officers and men of the same
corps, equal to the strength of a company, will leave Viool-
wich at a subsequent period for the same kind of service, but
the men have not yet been selected.

No Elzutm DONE.—Horace Walpole, being in-
formed of a serious quarrel between two of his female friends,
asked the person if either of them had called the other
ugly? On obtaining an answer in the negative, he replied—
" Oh, then, I shall soon make up the matter."
REPDAL or ME WINDOW TAl.—Three large
and influential meetings were held last evening in the me-
tropolis, for the purpose of taking steps to procure an imme-
diate abolition of this impost. The inhabitants of the
Liberty of the Rolls, of St. Leonard's Shoreditch, and of St.
Luke's Chelsea, met in vestries, strongly worded resolutions
were adopted, pledging the parishioners to use the most
strenuous exertion on behalf of their object, and a confi-
dent expectation of the downfall of the tax marked the
proceedings.

CABINET DISSENSIONS.—We stated a fortnight ago
that notwithstanding the grave misunderstandings which
had ten or twelve days previously existed in the Cabinet,
and which threatened its immediate dissolution, a sort of tacit
understanding had been come to among the members, that
no charge should take place until after the meeting of Par-
liament. We have good grounds for believing that within the
last few days, at least one member of the Whig Administra-
tion had all but sent in his resignation, and that even now, it
is a toss up whether he will not retire before the first day of
the session. The party to whom we allude is Earl Grey.
The Noble Lord and. the Premier are at variance on
more than one important question. A difference of opinion
on certain colonial matters, as well as on the great
question of Papal aggression, has, we are assured, much to
do with the unfriendly feeling which exists between the two
Noble Lords. Lord John Russell, and other members of the
Ministry, cannot see the policy or taste of the conduct of
Earl Grey in appointing, at such a juncture as the present,
Mr. M'Carthy, a Roman Catholic, to so important a situa-
tion as that of the secretaryship of the island of Ceylon, a
place which has been rather remarkable of late for the pre-
valence of relgious dissensions and religious acrimony. Nor
does the aspect of this appointment at all improve on our
acquaintance with the tact, that Mr. M'Carthy, whose sa
lary, we believe, is 2,5001. a year, is the son-in-law of Mr.
Hawes, the Under-Secretary to the Colonies, and a near re-
lative of Cardinal Wiseman.—Advertiser.

DINNER AT THE MANSION HOUSE.—The Lord
Mayor, as chairman of the Morarch Fire and Life Assurance
Company, yesterday received his brother directors and the
officers of the company at a sumptuous entertainment, given
by his Lordship, at the Mansion House, on which occasion
the directors presented to his Lordship a pair of claret jugs of
equisite taste and workmanship. The usual loyal toasts
were most eloquently given and responded to, and the pro-
sperity of the company and the health of the Lord Mayor
were received with hearty cheers. There were amongst the
company the Lady 'Mayoress, the Misses Vivian, Mr. Vivian,
Alderman Hooper, Mr. Main, Mr. Knott, Mr. Brown, Mr.
Games, Mr. John Laurie, Mr. A. Murray, Mr. Soane, Mr.
Gill, Dr. Thompson, Mr. Nlr. T. Fawcett. Mr. Clement, Mr.
D. W. Wire, Mr. Walter, Mr. Long, Mr. F. Ward, Mr.
John Addis, Mr. Hanncock, Mr. C. J. Butler, Mr. G. H.
Jay, the Rev. Dr. Vivian, his Lordship's chaplain; Mr.
Cathay, his Lordship's secretary. The entertainment passed
off to the high gratification of all present.
BRITISH BENEFICENT INSTITUTION—At a meeting
held on the 20th inst., Henry Francis Richardson, Esq.,
F.L.S., was unanimously elected one of the vice-presidents,
and an honorary life governor, in compliment to him as the
founder of the society.,
THE LATE ACCIDENT AT CAUEECIVEEN.—A COT-
respondent writing from Caherciveen siates that Mr. Twiss,
the gentleman who was accidentally shot by Mr. Maurice
O'Connell, is " out of danger." Another says :—" This un-
fortunate occurrence was purely accidental, and so mor titled
and heart-broken does Mr. O'Connell feel at it, that lie
neither ate nor drank, nor even left his bed since it happened ;
• no grief can exceed his grief."
