the parish of Great Horwood. The township con-
tained a population of 704 in 1851; and 125 had
been attacked-18 killed by the fever up to July 9,
the date of his report. He shows how the village,
on the ridge of a hill, in a parish pleasantly wooded,
with fine pastures and fruitful corn fields, occupied
by a population wholly agricultural, was attack d
by the 'fever ; how the first case, appearing best
Michaelmas in last year, occurred in one of the bet
houses in the place. The patient had been at Bu,e'
ingham, and there was much fever at the time. The
then tells how the brothers and sisters of the ser:
want, and the servant herself, finally fell in their
home ; how all the people of a room over 011
water, in the worst house in the parish, were at-
tacked, and three of the family died ; and then lief
the inmates of a new row of houses and of old cev
tages were visited by the village plague. He suvis
up by ascribing the continuance of the disease
;
during the last nine months in various degrees
wait
ter, overcrowded dwellings, putrescent wait
ter, and an insufficient supply of fresh air,,or, 04,
is called, bad ventilation. The evil is most gr,le
ous in the sleeping rooms. "We can do no more,
said one woman, "than keep clean that which re
have. We cannot get our landlord to give more
air, or make the windows we have to open
Women,' lie said, are best shut up.' " e'tena
awake stifled," said another woman, " and me
my husband go and sit at the window." The PI, I
people, however, can remedy the other great eNk,

THT NORTH SEA TELEGRAPH.

The landing of the North Sea submarine cable
took place at the village of Weybourne, on the
Norfolk coast, on Sunday last. The screw steamer
William Corry, accompanied by a smaller paddle
steamer, the Reliance, arrived off Weybourne about
noon with the cable on board, when the operation
of landing it at once commenced. A rope was first
brought on shore from the William Corry, and
fastened to the flag-staff of the Coast-guard station,
and then by means of two boats, one towing the
other, the cable was brought ashore. The work
was performed in a very short time, and without
any apparent difficulty, in the presence of but'few
spectators. It was not for a want of interest felt
in the neighbourhood about such an undertaking,
but from the uncertainty when it would take place,
that such a small number of persons were present
at the landing. The steamers had been expected
every day for a week, and several fruitless journeys
were made in consequence of false reports of their
arrival. In the course of the afternoon a great
many visited the spot. The departure of the
William Corry with the cable to Embden took
place at a quarter past 4 p.m. She fired two guns,
which were responded to from the shore, and pro-
ceeded on her way. The cable, when landed, was
conveyed to the "guard room" of the Coast-guard
station, whieh is the North Sea Submarine Tele-
graphic Office for the time being. As soon as the
necessary apparatus was affixed, it was found that
a perfect communication existed between' them and
steamer lying about half-a-mile from the shore.
When eight miles out to sea, the commander and
other officers on board proposed the health of those
on shore, and bade them good night, which was
responded to. A 'telegram at noon on Monday
informed the officers at Weybourne that the steamer
had payed out 90 miles of cable, and on Tuesday
afternoon they received one with the welcome tid-
ings that the steamer had reached her destination.

THE ARMY.

A movement has been set on foot at Chatham for
the purpose of procuring a higher rate of remune-
ration for the masters of the dockyard lighters be-
longing to that port.
Yesterday orders were received at the Invalid
Establishment, Chatham, directing accommodation
to be provided at St. Mary's Barjacks for 72 sick
and wounded soldiers belonging to the sth (Fusi-
leers), 6th, 10th, 13th (Prince Albert's Light In-
fantry), 19th, 20th .38th, 42d (Royal Highlanders),
53d, 58th, 60th (Rifles), 73d, 79th (Highlanders),
80th, 82d, 94th, and 97th Regiments, who have
arrived at Plymouth in the Abeona from Calcutta.
The following troops, soldiers' wives, and chil-
dren disembarked from her Majesty's steam troop-
ship Urgent, at Portsmouth Dockyard, on Tues-
day night, and are berthed in Cambridge and Cole-
wort Barracks until they can be sent to their seve-
ral destinations :—Captain Malony and three men
of the Royal Artillery; 2 sergeants, 2 men, 1 wife,
and 1 child of the Royal Engineers; 2 men of the
2d battalion of the 2d Foot, Lieut. 'Gape (sick), 6
sergeants, 31 men, 41 wives, 83 children of the Ist
battalion of the 3d Foot; 1 man of the Ist batta-
lion of the 14th; Assistant-Sur con Greer, of the
Ist battalion of the 21st ; 2 sergeants, 1 trumpeter,
3 corporals, 21 men, 53 wives, 82 children of the
46th ; 3 sergeants, 1 trumpeter, 1 corporal, 50 men,
51 wives, and 85 children of the 91st ; 1 sergeant
of the barrack department, 6 officers' wives, and 6
children ; total, 531. _

The following promotions are spoken of at Wool-
wich as likely to take place shortly in the superior
grades of the Royal Artillery—namely, Col. Bloo-
mfield, Aide-de-Camp to her Majesty, acting com-
mandant of Woolwich garrison and Colonel of the
Royal Horse Artillery, to be Major-General ; Col.
Teesdale, commanding the field batteries, to be
Colonel of the Royal Horse Artillery ; Lieut.-Col.
and Brevet-Col. G. R. Barker, C. 8., at present
serving in India, to succeed Lieut.-Colonel Maude
in command 'of the Royal Horse Artillery.
Major-General Sir W. F. Williams, K.C.8.,
commandant of Woohvich garrison, on leave of ab-
sence in Nova Scotia, has obtained the sanction of
his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief to
prolong his stay in his native country beyond the
period of his specified leave of three months, now
expired.
The new system of ventilating the men's sleeping
rooms of the Royal Artillery Barracks at Wool-
wich is progressing most favourably. The right
wing of the west range is now completed, and at a
comparatively small expense according to the bene-
fit derived. The noble entrance known as the West
Gate,_ is in course of being ornamented with a gun-
metal bust of her Majesty, about four feet in
height, which is about to be erected in the vacuum
in which the old public clock formerly stood, and
which for some years past has presented an un-
sightly appearance of black planks of wood.

CHERBOURG ; ITS ADVANTAGES AND
DEFECTS.

The real requirements of a military port and
arsenal are building space, facility and power of
equipment, and harbourage, either as shelter for a
fleet, as a station for its preparation, a starting
point for its operations, or a depot for its reserve.
In building space Cherbourg exceeds any one
of our great dockyards. It has altogether eleven
building slips, all available, and within a certain
concentric distance. Building space does not, how-
ever, imply building power. The great dispropor-
tion betwixt the space, the construction, and the
edifices, and the activity, the work, the artisan
power, evident therein, is one of the most striking
and noteworthy features of Cherbourg. In the work-
shops and the docks, along the quays and arsenals,
in the stores and the bureaux, there is nowhere evi-
dent that movement and action which characterise
our own yards. This may be said to be caused by
a greater concentration of means and a better orga-
nisation of labour. The great flux of man-power and
the great masses of material so associated with our
notions of a naval arsenal arc wants which cannot,
however, be reconciled with a great resource of
means, or a great command of artisans. This build-
ing power is a point, however, which need concern
us little. We have outbuilt ourselves—could, with
the aid of our mercantile yards, outbuild all the
navies of the world. For equipment and repairs
there are seven docks, and the bassin-de-jiot might be
made entirely available for fitting or laying up
vessels. We come next to the harbourap. Accord-
ing to some English authorities, 60 ships of the line
might lie in the three basins. This, however, is an
over-estimate, at least, if they are supposed to be
rigged, equipped, and ready for service. The French
say 38 ; but even this number, if all ataunto, would
be very crowded and difficult to move. And here
appears the great deficiency of the port. There is
no intermediate space, as in our harbours, betwixt
the basins and the roadstead, where vessels, when
despatched from the docks, might have a spacious
and sheltered rendezvous, and where those in re-
serve might float secure, and ready for future need.
Our fleets at Spitbead or in the Sound might,
if necessary, run into the harbours of Ports-
mouth or liamoaze, and find sufficient anchorage,
without disturbing one of the hundred hulks lying
there, or in any way interfering with the fair egress
and ingress of the docks. This could not be done at
Cherbourg. If the basins were made a depot for a
reserve, they would no longer be available as a
harbour of refuge for a fleet, if the rade
should from any circumstance become un-
tenable ; and if kept a
fors a tsltiaattionpufroiriosaen,
aCchtie,r,e-
bourg could only be used
fleet and as a building port, and could never possess
a relay of ships which, when one squadron had
started forth, might be fitted and despatched in
reinforcement.—Blackwood.

MARLBOROUGH STREET.

CAUTION TO LADIES.—PICKPOCKETS IN REGENT-
STREET.—henry Connelly, William Sutton, and John
Murphy, three boys, were charged with attempting to pick
pockets in Regent-street.
Police-constable 80 C said that on the previous afternoon
a large crowd was assembled round the window of Messrs.
Nicoll's, the clothiers, viewing the state liveries of the Lord
Mayor, and his attention was attracted to the prisoners,
who were very busily employed in trying the pocket of a
lady—Connelly operating and the others covering him.
After leaving her they went up to another female, when
Murphy put his hand into her pocket, the others being close
behind at the time. Connelly then left the crowd and
walked to the kerb, and looked up and down, but on seeing
him coming with a constable in uniform, he himself being
in plain clothes, he said to his companions " Cheese it," and
they all started off

Edward Webb, one of the Mendicity Society's officers,
said that a week ago he saw the prisoners Murphy and Con-
nelly follow a gentleman in George-street, and on his asking
if he had lost anything he at first said be had not, but after-
wards came back and said he had lost his handkerchief. He
saw something in Murphy's hand.

In answer to Mr. Bingham, Murphy said " he lived no-
where ; his sister gave him something now and then when
he met her." The others had no defence to make.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with
beasts, nevertheless, all breeds moved off heavily at a de-
cline in the quotations realised on Monday of 2d per 81bs,
and a clearance was not effected. The show of sheep was
far from extensive. Prime Downs sold slowly at Monday's
currency ; but other descriptions of sheep were very dull,
and 2d per Blbs lower. Although the supply of calves was
by no means extensive, the veal trade ruled heavy at 4d
per 81bs less money—the top figure being 4s Bd. In pigs

2s 6d to 4s 4d ; mutton, 2s 10d to 4s 6d ; lamb, Os Od
to Os Od ; veal, 3s 4d to 48 4d ; pork, 3s Od to 4s 2d per
81bs. by the carcase.

SOUTHALL, Nov. 3.—Piime beasts and sheep were in
fair request, at full prices. In other kinds of stock very
little was doing, at barely late rates : Beef, from 3s 2d to
4s 8d ; mutton, 3s 4d to 4s 10d ; lamb, Os Od to Os Od ;
veal, 3s 10d to 4s 6d ; and pork, 3s 4d to 4s Od per 8 lbs,
to sink the offal.

ROMFORD, Nov. 3.—We had a slo'w trade here to-day,
as follows :—Beef, from 3s 6d to 4s 8d ; mutton, 3s 6d to
5s ; veal, 3s 10d to 4s 8d ; pork, 3s 6d to 4s per Blbs ; milch

for
any material change until after Christmas. There
is very little doing in the warehouses,most branches
partaking of the depression. Manufacturers are
prudently abstaining from purchasing stock. The
hosiery trade is still buoyant, both as respects the
shipping and home departments, and prospects of a
continuance arc cheering. All good workmen are
fully
.employed. Material (both silk and cotton)
remains firm.
MANCHESTER, 2d.—More favourable advices as
to the new cotton crop, which some estimates carry
as high as 3,700,000-bales, have had the effect of
inducing buyers to withhold orders for cloth this
morning. At the same time less favourable reports
of trade from Calcutta have had a depressing diva
on business here this morning, and sellers have
made a concession equal to about 1!;(1.. per piece
on
longcloths, T cloths, shirtings, and other fabrics.

PRUSSIA.

A letter from Berlin of the Ist says :—" The
Prince of Hohenzollern Sigmaringen, who is a re-
lative of the royal family and a general in the army,
has arrived here from Switzerland, in obedience to
a summons of the Prince Regent, and it is believed
that he has been entrusted with the formation of a
new Cabinet. The Prince belongs to the Liberal
party. M. de Schleinitz, who was formerly Mini-
ster of Foreign Affairs, has also arrived here, and
it is said that he likewise has been summoned by
the Prince Regent. He, too, belongs to the
same party. In the event of a Liberal Ministry
being formed, M. de Schkinitz is spoken
of for the department of Foreign Affairs, M.
de Bethmann-Hollweg for that of Public Worship,
M. de Mathis for the Interior, General Hermann or
General Bonin for War. General Hermann, who
commands at Stettin, has not played any part in
politics, but the Prince Regent is said to think
highly of him."

Mr. Edwin James moved for a rule calling upon the de-

case. The train ran off the rails in consequence of a quan-
tity of gravel being placed upon the line by some labourers

persons went to America in 1832, and had not since been
heard of. After the most diligent search had been made,
the conclusion arrived at was that he had died. The pre-
sent application was that letters of administration might be
granted to Hiram Belfield, the eldest male representative.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

;Sittings at Banco, before Lord Campbell, Justices Wight.

SCOTT AND ROBINSON V. DIXON-THE LIVERPOOL

BOROUGH BANK.

The Attorney-General moved on the part of the defendant,
the manager of the Liverpool Borough Bank, for a rule
calling upon the plaintiffs to show cause why the verdict
should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the
ground that the verdict was against the evidence.
The trial took place at the Liverpool Assizes before Mr.
Baron Martin, the action being brought by the plaintiffs
against the defendant, as manager of the bank, to recover
back their deposits, they having been induced to become
shareholders on. the faith and truth of a report bearing the
name of Mr. Dixon, and representing that the bank was in
a flourishing condition, whereas it was alleged that the de-
fendant knew at the time the bank was insolvent. Thejury
found a verdict for the plaintiffs. The facts, which were
fully reported in The Sun when the case was tried at Liver-
pool, bore a great similarity to those of the Royal British
Bank.

The learned Attorney-General dwelt at some length upon
the point as to whether a director was liable for all the con-
sequences that might be occasioned by a certain report bear-
ing his signature becoming known.

Lord Campbell said if at the time he signed the report he
believed it was a true statement, he was not liable.

The Attorney-General said the report signed by Mr.
Dixon was only for the shareholders.

Lord Campbell said that might be so, but it was also in-
tended for the public. The learned Attorney-General,
however, had stated sufficient for the Court to grant him a
rule nisi on all points asked for.

MILLS V. MILLS

This was an application to the Court to fix the mode in
which this case would be taken. The learned counsel
wished it to be taken by affidavit, without a jury. The
petitioner prayed for a separation on the ground of
adultery and cruelty. The majority of the witnesses were
resident in France, and it was prayed that the Court would
direct a commission to issue, authorising the examination
of the said witnesses in that country.
The Learned Judge said the present application was to
fix the mode of hearing the trial, and he thought it ought
to be by oral evidence. The application for a commission
must be made on another occasion specially.

DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THE ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE REV. MR. NIXON.

A numerously attended meeting of magistrates,
landed proprietors, and gentlemen connected with
the county Donegal was held on Saturday at
Letterkenny for the purpose of devising means
for bringing to justice the miscreants who at-
tempted to assassinate the Rev. Mr. Nixon.
The meeting was considered private, and the
only part of the proceedings published is the
fact that a reward of £5OO was agreed to be
offered for the conviction of the perpetrators of this
foul outrage. Amongst those present, were Lord
George Hill, Lord Lifford, Sir James Stewart,
Bart. ; Sir Edmond S. Haves, Bart., M.P. ; Sir
Robert Ferguson, Bart., M.P., and thirty other
magistrates of the county. A private letter, dated
from Heathfield on Sunday last, says :—" The
Rev. Mr. Nixon is progre.sing most favourably,
and the doctors have pronounced him almost
out of danger. He etrinot of course be moved for
some time. The doctors are most attentive and
kind. One of them remains in the house.
The poor sufferer cannot speak, his tongue is so
injured by a slug having gone through it. One of
the bullets lodged in the bonnet of his daughter,
who was with him at the time of the attack."
The Daily Express, commenting upon the meet-
ing held on Saturday, observes :—" Not a scintilla
of evidence was forthcoming, nor was any other
step taken to produce it on a future occasion (save
the eward 'tamed of £500). It appears to
us strange that after all the experience wo
have had in Ireland of this sort of agrarian
Red Indianism the gentry of the disorganised dis-
tricts have hit upon no strictly legal plan of
thwarting the brute cunning and ferocity of the
country savage. Surely it would be easy for the
unmarried young men of the higher classes in such
neighbourhoods as that of Gweedore to concert and
carry into practice such measures as would cause
the blood to curdle in the churl veins of such
cowards as could attempt to assassinate an elderly
and unarmed man at the very side of his wifo and
daughter. Can no society be formed in Donegal
which, while it rendered agrarian outrage impos-
sible, would be free froi ojections usually urged
against Orangeism ?"
