NEWCASTLE CORN MARKET—Dec 31.

Having had much wet heavy weather lately, our farmers'
Wheats to-daylwere in poor condition ; but the supply not being
large, sales were steady at rather better prices, not much doing
in ship or granaried parcels. There was no variation in the Oat
trade. In Barley little has been done during the week, at a re-
duction of Is. per quarter. Malt, dull sale. Rye in moderate
demand. Beans and Peas without change.

The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, accom-
panied by his son, Viscount SEAHAM —a fine, intelligent-
looking youth—and Mr. TREVOR, paid a visit to this city
en Saturday last. We have beard, that while his Lord-
ship was in the town, he declared that he had been much
deceived, as to the state of public feeling in this minty, on
the subject of Reform ! We do not vouch for the accuracy
of this information ; though we have received it from
what we deem tolerably good authority—but if his Lord•
ship have been abused in the manner we understand him to
have represented, it would be doing a service to the publi,
to have it explained by whom—whether by public jour
nalists or otherwise. If the statement made to us be true,
we shall hope to see the Noble Marquis yet embarked with
" the Bill."—Due ham Chronicle.

This year (1832) BRAHAM will have been
upon the stage for half a century. His first appearance
was at the Royalty, when opened by JOHN PALMER. IL
was then a juvenile prodigy. How many notes has be
sent forth and received during his 50 years' experience ?

The cholera at Gateshead appears already to have spent
its fury. Though on Tuesday there were upwards; of
thirty deaths, yesterday and Friday, according to the
official report, there were only three. The Gateshead.
Board of Health, in their report of this day, 31st Decem-
ber, state, it is true, that there are 20 new cases, but
they state also that there are 22 recoveries, and only eight
deaths. The progress and virulence of the disease must
still notwithstanding be admitted to be decidedly greater
at Gateshead, in proportion to its population, than it has
been either at Sunderland or Newcastle. The medical
gentlemen, as it may be readily supposed in a place like
Gateshead, were not sufficiently numerous to grapple svith
it on its first attack, and I have no doubt :mole lives were
lost for want of timely assistance. The surgeons of New-
castle have since done what they could to supply the de-
ficiency, but in a crisis like the present why do the Go-
vernment not send down members of the faculty of known
talent, willing, in good earnest, to exert themselves. We
had, it is true, Dr. Barry and Dr. Dann here, but what
did they do? While they were in the north they saw a
few, and but a few, cases of cholera. Their chief, almost
their sole, duty appeared to be to receive the accoonts of
the different surgeons, and from them to make up the re-
ports. But might not this have been done as well by an
unmedical as a medical man ? In justice to Dr. Gibson,
another of the Government agents, I must admit that he
is an exception. He has gone to see several cases, and is
very attentive to the hospital—but he cannot do every
thing. There must be more assistance, and I should con-
ceive there can be no difficulty in supplying it from the
army and navy surgeons on half-pay.
There is an entire family, a father, a mother, and four
children, in the Gateshead Hospital. This, with many,
will be regarded as evidence of contagion : but on that
subject I have just heard of a case which, I think, can
leave no doubt on the minds of unprejudiced men : a
woman, whose husband died of cholera in Sandgate, in
this town, went a few day's afterwards to visit her father-
in-I lw at Lemington, a shove Newcastle, on the
side of the river. She was there ettacked with cholera,
and in consequence of the great unwillingness of the eeople
to suffer her to remain, she was brought down to Sand-
gate, and died there. In a len, days after this, her father-
in-law, at Lemington, was attacked and died !
Mr. Baird, et respectable surgeon of Newc istle, has
published a letter, in which he states, that conceiving
spasmodic cholera in many of its symptoms to resemble
tetanus, he resolved to try similar treatment. With this
view, the other day, be determined to give a man of the
name of Smith or Crowe, in Gateshead, who appeared to
he from cholera in the very jaws of death, a tobacco
enema. He introduced into the intestines half a drachm
of tobacco, boiled in a pint of water ; this produced a
clammy perspiration, and a slight pulse : it was repeated
with the like good effect, and the man recovered. In con-
sequence of this success, thesame treatment, I am informed,
has been tried in two other cases, and utterly failed—the
patients having expired very speedily. Maetard, which
was successful in some cases at Sunderland, has been tried
here, but I am told it has been too unfortunate to justify
its continuance, unless where very skilfully applied.
Nothing seems to be more clear than that the medical men
are a loss to treat this complaint successfully.
The Newcastle Board of Health informs us in their
report to-day that there are twenty-three new cases, seven
recoveries, and four deaths, and seventy-six cases remain
mg under treatment ; but of these seventy-six I know
forty are in the township of Byker. The disease, 1 ~m
sorry to say, has made its way into the higher as well as
the lower part of the town, even to the Westgate, the
western suburb of Newcastle, which is in the county of
Northumberland ;—but still the victims are the poor,
ill-fed, intemperate, and ill-lodged. The Board of Health
hare issued a notice, rcconan.ending people to abstain
from going to assemblies, or large meetings.
