TIIE CIIOLERA.—The following circular has been
addressed, by the direction of the Lord President Of
the Council, to the local authorities at the various out-
ports in the United Kingdom :—" Privy Council-office,
April 23.—Sir, I am directed by the Lord President of the
Council to request that you will call the attention of the
authorities at to the communications which, by his
lordship's instructions, wore addressed to you from this
office in August, 1859, and subsequently in July, 1865'
soon after the cholera had broken out in Egypt and Turkel'
The progress which the disease has made in Europe silaca
the date of the last named letter, and the fact that, froin
information received to-day, cases of Asiatic cholera have
occurred at Rotterdam and in its vicinity, have again
called attention to the importance of not neglecting any
means of arresting the progress of the disease, if it should
be introduced into the United Kingdom; and I am, there-
fore, directed to reiterate the precautionary
suggestions
contained in the abovementioned letters, and to repeat the
expression of a hope that means will be provided for the
reception and medical treatment of any poor seamen 0r
other persons who may, on their arrival in this count* be
found to be suffering from cholera.—AßTHUß HELPS."...
The Worshipful the Mayor."
HORRIBLE DEATH FROM HYDROPHOBIA.—An in'
quest was held on Tuesday, at Middleton-one-110r/
near Darlington, on the body of Humphrey Lee, parish
clerk, 39 years of age, with a wife and three children, W"
died on Sunday evening from the bite of a dog. About six
weeks ago the deceased was bitten by a dog when engaged
in loosing him from a rabbit trap in which he had been
caught. The wound healed up, and no notice was taken
of it. About a week before his death the deceased fell un-
well, and, after being at Darlington on Friday last, showed
very feverish symptoms that night, felt smarting pains rIl
his fingers where he had been bitten and said he did Be:
like to sleep with his wife, as he felt disposed to lay hold 01
her like a dog. Mr. Robert Patti., surgeon, stated that on
Saturday the deceased, on his first seeing him bad a PIT"-
nance to water, and at this time the pupils of his eyes were
dilated. Various remedies and attempts to relieve the de-
ceased were tried, consisting of mustard blisters, &c. The
only thing affording relief, and that only of a temporal
character, was chloroform. The deceased got worse, and
on Sunday morning the simple motion of the handkerchief
applying the chloroform caused him to leap from his beet'
and go down on his hands and knees in ono corner of the)
room, barking and spitting. On Sunday afternoon the
poor fellow had to be bound to the bed. lie was
generally
conscious, and warned off all about him when the
paroxysms came upon him. At the time he frothed at the
mouth and nostrils, barked, spat, and yelped, at the sal°
time gnashing his teeth. He did on Sunday evening. 9°
jury returned a verdict of death from hydrophobia. ,

for his long confinement, and showed no signs of feeling til?
position in which he was placed. The indictment against

;
firearms, shoot and mortally injure Alexander M.Queen
M`Ewan, a bread-van driver, who had in his possession a
few shillings. Evidence, circumstantial but conclusil
having been given at great length for the Crown, and
shorter for the defence, the case was adjourned till yester-
day morning, when, at 10 o'clock the Court re-assembled'
and counsel were heard for the prosecution and the
loner; and the jury, after duo consideration, returned
verdict of guilty as libelled. The judges having Passe

THE INTRODUCTION OF GERMAN TAILORS 114.19
EDINBURGH WORKSHOPS.--Last week we announce—
,1
that 57 German tailors had been brought to the city by the
employers. The presence of the foreigners seemed to cause
some dissatisfaction amongst the Edinburgh workinery—
who gave notice to their employers that, unless the Ger;
mans became members, and would conform to the rules °f
their union, they would leave on Saturday afternoon, sna.
`
not return to their work. On the question being Put to
the Germans through an interpreter they declined `"
comply with the demand. The consequence was that tb°
men in tho employment of Messrs. Christie and Son'
George-street, and Messrs. Middlemass, South fridge, L'°
the number of 60, left work on Saturday afternoon, au
have not since returned to work. We are informed that the
above-mentioned firms are highly satisfied with the super--
;or
workmanship of the Germans in their employment, and rd.ei;
therefore, indifferent as to whether the Edinburgh worlone
return to their employment or not. The men who have the
left their work will have difficulty in obtaining employln°t
elsewhere in Edinburgh, as wo aro informed that the otb°r
employers in the city have determined not to give tn
work. A third batch of Germans is daily expected, an(' 11..0
is not improbable that the addition of so many foreign°
by the masters may lead to another strike.—Scoknum•
