THE CHOLERA.

MANSION HOUSE RELIEF COMMITTEE.

Last night the fund which is being raised by the
Lord Mayor, acting in concert with the conurittee.
of bankers, merchants, and clergymen in the City,
amounted to nearly £16,000, which has been sub-
scribed in three weeks. .0f that sum upwards of
£5,000 has been dispensed towards the relief of the
distressed through the agency of local committees,
besides large quantities of port wine, arrowroot,
corn flour, and materials for beef tea; and £5,000
has been set aside for the maintenance of children
made orphans by the visitation, leaving an avail-
able balance of about one-third of the whole sum
collected for the further relief of the distress, which
balance is being daily increased by the donations
which continue to flow in. From the accounts
furnished yesterday and on Monday by the local
committees, there can be no doubt that the disease
continues to subside in the districts of the eastern
parts of London where it has been most prevalent,
but that it is being succeeded by typhus fever in
some quarters, induced by the wretched state of
poverty to which many of the people have been
reduced, and which, indeed, would seem to have
become Me normal condition of large numbers of
them. From the first the Mansion-house Com-
mittee, while deeply sympathising with the pre-
vailing penury, have been careful to prevent,
as far as they could, auy application of the
funds entrusted to them solely for the relief of
distress consequent upon cholera and the nourish-
ment of poor patients and convalescents, towards
the mitigation of ordinary pauperism or of the
poverty which borders upon it, holding it to be the
duty of the parochial authorities. Within the last
few days they have had occasion to insist most
strongly on the distinction being maintained, as well
from a sense of the duty they owe to the subscribers
to the fund as from a desire to avoid weakening in
the least the responsibility which attaches to the
guardians of the poor, especially at such a crisis as
the present.

Yesterday, at the meeting of the working com-
mittee, the Lord Mayor in the chair, Sir Mordaunt
Wells took occasion to say that, in company with
Mr. J. A. Smith, M.P., he had paid a visit on the
previous evening to the Vestry-hall, Limehouse,
while the money and stores allotted by the Man-
sion-house committee were being dispensed by the
local authorities, a complaint having reached the
Lord Mayor that some unseemly disturbances took
place on those occasions, and that poor, emaciated
women in search of relief were much knocked about
in the crowd. Sir Mordaunt said Mr. Abel Smith
and he went to the place where the local committee,
consisting of 15 gentlemen, met and saw many of
the poor people, but no disorder whatever. The
applicants for relief were admitted three or four at
a time, and were treated with considerate kindness
by the committee: Each case was reported upon
specially by a medical officer, and cases in which
there was no such report were postponed until a
house-to-house visitation could be made. All the
committee were tradesmen living in the very heart
of the district, and they knew most of the applicants
for assistance. He (Sir Mordaunt) addressed a few
words to the committee on the necessity of a house-
to-house visitation, which they received with much

courtesy, and except that the house-to-house visi-
tations were not so systematic as they might be, he
believed the local authorities, aided by the Man-
sion-house grants, were doing an immense deal of
good and doing it in a workmanlike manner. They
had thrown themselves into the work from the com-
mencement of the visitation, and he believed by their
energy they had done much to stamp out the disease
in that part of London.
Mr. JOIIN ABEL SMITHuM.P., referred to a visit
he had paid on Monday to the auxiliary hospital for
cholera patients and convalescents recently estab-
lished in Commercial-street, Whitechapel, and which
is under the charge, principally, of Miss Sellon and
a band of Sisters of Mercy, acting in concert with a
committee of gentlemen, of whom Ur. E. H. Palmer,
a director of the Bank of England, and the Hon.
Mr. Wood, are members. He said the hospital was
opened on Monday or Tuesday week, and during
that time 55 cholera patients had been admitted.
On Monday last 32 of them remained in the hospi-
tal, 13 having died, or less than 20 per cent., which
was wonderfully small, and many were leaving in a
state of recovery. There were 14 paid nurses, 7
for the day and 7 night, and there were also 12
sisters, 6 for day and 6 for night, and two ladies,
friends of tie Bishop of London, who spent the
whole of each day there. That was a state of
things unknown, he believed, in any other part of
London or anywhere else. Every patient had a nurse,
and there were, besides, several men who made
themselves almost as useful as the women. The pre-
liminary expenses amounted to nearly £9OO, a great
part of which has been subscribed by private friends
among themselves.
AIL E. H. PALMER, who Attended the committee
later in the day, took occasion to say that, in his
humble judgment, the institution, by separating the
sick from the healthy, was likely to prove a most
efficient instrument in arresting the progress of the
malady.
A local committee in St. George's-in-the-East re-
ported that from a grant made by the committee
they had relieved 136 cases. The total number of
attacks of cholera alone reported to the vestry, they
said, was 625, and the total number of deaths. up to
Saturday last from cholera and diarrhoea, without
reckoning those who had died in the London and
other hospitals, was 340. The disease was decreas-
ing in that part of London.
The committee made them a second grant of £lOO ;
they also voted to the Tower-hill district £5O, to
, the Stepney. Relief Society £25, being in both cases

second grants, and for the relief of certain poor Ger-

mans £25.

PLYMOUTII-T UESD AY.

The first cases of decided cholera have occurred
here within the last 48 hours, and have resulted in
the deaths of Miss Haddy, the matron of the Fe-
male Home for Fallen Women in Hill-street, and of
the laundress connected with that establishment.
Some of the other inmates have been attacked, but
hopes are entertained that they will recover. The
disease is supposed to have been introduced or its fatal
effects accelerated by an alteration on Saturday of
the drainage of the locality, which is in au imperfect
state. With reference to the generarcondition of the
town, it is due to the Sanitary Committee and the
guardians of the poor to state that for a long period
they have been endeavouring to promote cleanli-
ness. Although possessed of an ample source for
the supply of water to the town, the authorities
are prevented from bringing that supply home,
through the mistaken opposition of some of the in-
habitants on the score of expense. Nearly £30,000
have been expended in pipes and reservoirs, and
only £6,000 more is required to make the system
complete. The revenue from the -water is-nearly
£6,000 annually.

The following is the return of deaths from cholera
and diarrhoea iu London registered on Sunday and

exemplary conduct. The troops having been formed
in square, the order from the Duke of Cambridge
for the distribution of the medals was read, when
Lieut.-Col. W. Rickman presented those assigned

In consequence of the satisfactory result of the
half-yearly inspection of the Woolwich division

released from confinement, and were permitted,
together with the whole of the division, to be ab-
sent on two days' leave, at the request of the
Inspector-General. Consequently the divisional
offices, &c., were closed yesterday after roll call at
10 o'clock, and will be in like manner to-day,
about 80 men being retained to carry out the
divisional and garrison sentry duties.

A couple of the old Imperial Chinese guns
cap-
tared during the late war with that country have
been cut in halves in the Royal Gun-factories at
Woolwich, by the suggestion of Brigadier-General
Lefroy, R.A., President of the Ordnance Select
Committee, with a view of ascertaining the exact
nature of the materials and the method of construc-
tion employed. The inspection proves that the same
system of manufacture had been adopted in both
guns, consisting of a wrought-iron tube, with solid
and rounded ends, having a 9-inch smooth bore.
The outside of the tubes is rough and excessively
uneven, and appears to be specially prepared in that
manner for the reception and consolidation of a body
or outer casing of brass, with which the tubes are
thickly enveloped. Each of the guns appears to have
stood some service, and is still in good condition.
They are to be deposited in the Rotunda at Wool-
wich, of which Brigadier-General Lefroy is curator.

The Polish Insurrection in Siberia.

CRACOW, Aug. 24.

Accounts have been received here of the recent
outbreak of Polish exiles in Siberia, differing con-
siderably from the version given by the Russian
papers. The statements now made proceed from
Poles of Galician origin, who being sent to Siberia
in 1863 as prisoners of war, are now gradually re-
turning home At the demand of Austria. The Czas
summarises the Siberian outbreak as follows :
"All the imperial factories and mines in Siberia being
cross dod with Polish transports, and the number of these
unfortunate pe.sons increasing daily•tlTargit the arrival of
fresh convoys, the local ntthorities i'etermined to employ
many in constructing two great roads, one from Irtkoutsk
to Kiachta beside the telegraph line, and the other
from Wevchneoudinski to Petropaulowski through Hart-
chinsk and the province of Amour. The Polish transports
thus employed were divided into numerous squads, and
placed under the surveillance of detachments of infantry
and of Cossacks under the command of superior officers
charged at the same time with the direction of the works
and the administration of the provision stores. Ono of
the first and principal causes of the rising was the famine
which broke out among the Poles. The provisions des-
tined fot them by the Government having been diminished
by the dishonesty of the chiefs, epidemic diseases, the
inseparable concomitants of famine, and in especial
typhus, soon broke out among the transports, and carried
off largo numbers. The complaints addressed to the
superior authorities remaining unnoticed, desperation
seized the survivors. A squad of about 1,200 Poles em-
ployed at Koustouk, upon the Baikal Lake, in a barren
and almost desert district, further irritated by savage
corporeal punishment unjustly inflicted upon one of
their number, were the first to give the signal of revolt.
In the night of Juno 20 they rose upon their guards, suc-
ceeded in disarming them and binding those who resisted.
The captain in command was killed, and Col. Schats, his
superior officer, was taken prisoner. Thus provided with
arms, ammunition, and horses, the Poles struck off to the
north-east, following the telegraph line along the Baikal.
3,000 Russian convicts working in an adjoining district,
hearing of the Polish success, in their turn massacred the
troops of the garrison (about 200 Cossacks and two com-
panies of infantry), then taking possession of the arms in
the place, joined the Poles and placed themselves under
their command. A feeling of long-repressed vengeance also
broke out among the native population. Believing the time
of their deliverance arrived, they rushed to arms, and under-
took the engagement to furnish the Poles with provisions
and horses. To repress the movement the military gover-
nor of Irtkoutsk sent against the insurgents a strong de-
tachment of four companies of infantry, a squadron of ca-
valry, and six guns, under the command of his aide-de-
camp. Several officers of various grades joined this expedi-
tion, but the Russians being drawn into an ambuscade in
the defiles of Belongs were surrounded on all sides, and
after a most sanguinary engagement, almost entirely de-
stroyed. The guns and all the ammunition fell into the
hands'of the insurgents. Two colonels and 20 subalterns
were killed, and carried back to Irtkoutsk. The governor
then called out all the disposable forces of the country, and
sent them against the insurgents by twodifferent routes on
Juno 27. Ono detachment was ordered to pursue them
along the Baikal, while the other crossed the lake upon
steamers to cut them off and attack in front. The latter
party succeeded in reaching Posolsk, and entrenched itself
in the monastery at that place. The Poles finding them-
selves between two fires determined first to attack the
Russians entrenched at Posolsk, so as to open the route to
Nertchinsk and the Chinese frontier. The monastery was
stormed and the enemy dispersed. The other detachment,
which was to attack in the rear, was itself assailed by the
natives, and forced to retreat after heavy losses. The Poles
continued to advance towards China. The entire garrison
of Irtkoutsk being thus destroyed,•the governor ordered an
extraordinary levy in the town' and the environs at the
commencement of July. All the Poles settled in the country
or domiciled at L tkoutsk were placed in irons, and Col.

Levandowski was despatched to the south of _Siberia.
Travellers now arriving from those parts report that the
insurrection is spreading in all directions, and that the
Poles have taken up arms at Nertehinsk."

A communication from Irkutsk, in Siberia, pub-
lished in the official organ of St. Petersburg, gives
the following details of the late outbreak of the Poles
already mentioned :
"About 1,000 Poles, condemned to penal servitude, who
were working at roads a distance of 100 versts (three-quar-
ters of a mile each) from this place, revolted during the
night of the 6th July. They ill-treated their commander,
Col. Schwartz, beat the soldiers, bound them with ropes,
&c., and took off their coats, which they put on themselves.
They then attacked a military station, which they pillaged,
and marched towards the mills of Petrowski and the auri-
ferous sands belonging to the Crown, where a large num-
ber of Poles were working. On their road they took all the
horses belonging to the post stages, pillaged and burned
down the villages, tore down the telegraph wires, and de-
stroyed the bridges and ferry boats. It is reported that a
large number of Poles who had been authorised to settle in
that province bad joined the insurgents. However, they all
soon contrived to arm themselves and to possess ammuni-
tion. Evidently everything had been prepared beforehand
by the Polish colonists. Tho commander-in-chief of East
Siberia, General Koraskow, had left, some timo ago for the
Camoor (4,000 versts from Irkutsk) for a tour of inspection
—the telegraph being cut off it has been impossible to in-
form him of the insurrection ; but the Governor of Irkutsk
lost no time in taking the necessary measures. Besides a
strong detachment directly sent against the insurgents,
other troops have been despatched by steamers run-
ning on the Baikal, and artillery detachments have
been also sent to the pursuit from Verkne-Oudinsk.
Tho imperial troops and the insurgents were
alreaclyskirmishing. Colonel Tcherniaiew, who was super-
intending the road works, was found in a wood, tied to a
tree, and badly wounded. The body of M. Porokhow,
aide-de-camp to the 7 chief of the staff, and who had been
killed by the Poles, arrived at Irkutsk on the 11th of July
with some wounded soldiers. General Kubel, chief of the
staff of the troops in Siberia,
is gone to take the command
' against the insurgents. Poles, made prisoners, aro begin-
ning to arrive hero. It is stated that the insurgents, sur-
rounded on every side by the imperial troops, have retreated
into the woods ; but they are hemmed in by the troops and
the volunteers, the latter belonging mostly to the Toun-
gouses and Bouriates, who are excellent
sharpshooters.
