Or the time being, shall always be one), by any order or orders
,o be by them from time to time made, to establish, and
again, from time to time, by any such order or orders, to
•evoke, renew, alter, or vary all such rules and regulation!, or
to substitute any such new rules and regulations, as to than
nay appear necessary or expedient, for the prevention, as far as
-nay be possible, of the spreading of the said disease, called the
cholera, or spasmodic, or Indian cholera, in England or Wales,
or any part thereof, or for the relief of any persons suffering
.miler, or likely to be affected by, the said disease.
And whereas the said disease hath extended to different
parts of Great Britain, and ships or vessels carrying passengers
to the British possessions in North America, or to the United
States of America, may be affected with the said disease: it is,
therefore ordered, by the Lords and others of his Majesty's
nost Honourable Council (of whom the Lord President of the
Council is one), in pursuance of the powers vested in them by
the before-recited Act, and of all other powers enabling them
in that behalf, that no ship or vessel carrying passengers on any
voyage to, or for any port or place in his Majesty's possessions
on the Continent, or islands of North America, or to any port
or place in the United States of America, carrying fifty persons
or upwards, including the master and crew, computed in the
manner prescribed an Act, passed in the ninth year of the reign
of the late King, intituled " An Act to regulate the carriage
of passengers in merchants' vessels from the United Kingeom
to the continent and islands of North America," shall be cleared
out at any port of England or Wales, unless such ship or vessel
shall be provided with a surgeon, who is to cont,nue during the
whole of the voyage, and who shall produce to the officer of 'he
Customs at the port where the ship is to be cleared, a certificate
of his having passed his examination at Surgeons' Hall, in Len.
dm, or at the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh or Dub.
tin, or before the Medical Faculty of the University of Glasgow.
And it is hereby further ordered, that every such Surgeon shall
have a medicine-chest properly stored with medicines, in pro-
portion to the number of persons onboard such ship, of the kind
and according to the assortment generally used and made for
the like voyages, on board of his Majesty's ships of war ; and
before any such ship shall be allowed to be cleared out, such
Surgeon shall make a declaration, subject to the usual penalties
attached to false declarations, before the Collector or Comp-
troller of the Customs at the port from whence such ship is to
be cleared out, of the contents of such medicine chest, and
shall further make a like declaration, subject to the like penal-
ties, that the medicines are of good and proper quality, and of
the assortment generally used and made for voyages on board
of his Majesty's ships of war, to the best of his knowledge and
belief, and that he is engaged and does intend to go the voyage
as Surgeon on board such ship ; and the affidavit of every such
Surgeon shall be deposited and preserved in the Custom-house
where the clearance of such ship shall be granted.

And the owner or master of every such ship or ♦essel failing
to provide a surgeon so qualified, and a medicine chest pro_
perly stored as aforesaid, is hereby warned and admonished that
the penalties and punishments consequent upon any such dis-
obedience to this order, and to the provisions of the before-re.
cited Acts of Parliament, will be forthwith enforced against him,
And it is hereuy further ordered and directed, that the bed-

vessel shall be aired by exposure upon the deck, when the
weather will permit, daily, during the voyage; and the master
of such ship or vessel is hereby admonished that he will be-
come subject to the penalties and punishments provided by
such before-mentioned Act, for any failure or neglect in airing

the said bedding in the manner by this order directed.
And the Right Honourable, the Lords Commissioners of his
Majesty's Treasury, and the Commissioners of the Customs, arg
to give the necessary directions herein, as to them may respec_
tively appertain. C. C. GREVILLE.

Scotland.]

We are extremely sorry to say that the cholera
is gaining ground in Glasgow. Two of the deaths, those of Mr.
Bennett and Miss Turnbull, have excited much interest and
sympathy the two last days.—Glasgow Herald.

According to the latest accounts From the fron-
tiers of Persia, the pleague and cholera had hardly berm to
subside in that country. In some provinces those formidable
diseases had carried off more than two-thirds of the population.
The province of Ghillan appears to have been among the
greatest sufferers. Out of a population of 300,010, only 60,0(X)
men and 44,000 women and children remained. The eggs of
the silk-worms have been completely destroyed there, and it
was calculated that it would take seven years to produce the
same quantity of worms as formerly. Before the arrival of
these diseases, the revenues of Ghtllan were usually farmed at
9-o.ono Since then no more than 00,(3.00 tomauna
could be obtained.

at •. t,,,ys since an ihfuriated mob attacked
the Cholera Hospital of St. George'. in the East, and threatened
to pull down the house and murder the surgeons, exclaiming
that they were " Burking " the poor wretches who were ad.
mined. At the risk of his life one of the gentlemen in attend.
ance rushed out and seized the ringleader, dragged him within
'he house, and succeeded in fastening the door. " Now," said
he, " wretch, you go not out till you have asked every patient in
the house how he has been treated, and have heard his answer.
You shall see the agonies of the sufferers, and the efforts made
for their relief." The man received from all grateful acknew.
ledgments of the humanity exercised towards them, and being
thoroughly humiliated, said, "Sir, I am ashamed of myself;
let me go out and explain to the mob." He did so, and they
presently di apersed.—Brighton Gazette.
Our market ou Saturday last seemed sup-
plied better than usual with butcher's meat ; a gentleman, who
enquired the cause, was answered, that it was preparing for
the fast.—Welshman.

The letter,. obotined by the Dutch mail yes-
terday, from St. Petersburgh, state, that a house has been coin.
pelted to suspend its payments with claims against it to the ex.
tent of 60,0001., and that the assets are not above 15,0001. The
principal loss will tall upon three or four large houses in Hann_
burg ; only one firm in London will suffer to any considerable
amount. The name of the Russian house is Krause and Cs..,
and the firm has long enjoyed considerable credit, but latterly
they had not conducted their mercantile transactions on so ex-
tensive a scale as formerly, having been engaged in the nego,.
elation of bills of exchange, &c,--Duily Paper.
flue ships, the Aiarmion ithii Carolme,
of 600 tons burthen each, sailed on Sunday last, from the
London Docks for Quebec, with above I'oo :migrants on board
each vessel, proceeding to Upper Canada ; there were many
families, consisting of 10 to 14 individuals, who appeared from
their smiling and contented faces, to have left few objects to
regret behind them. Most of the emigrants were respectab:e
farmers and tradesmen, The vessels are engaged to return to
London, for the purpose of carrying out otli.•r settlers, whose
passage is already engaged.

MUCKING ACCIDENT.—A' a poor v‘onvto
was coming into this town on Monday, and when nearly on the
middle of the great North Bridge, she was met by an infuriated
cow, which ran directly at her, and without further ceremony
tossed the poor creature over the bridge, and falling nearly the
height of thirty feet. She was taken up with a leg and two ribs
broken, and atter being put on a bed, through the kindness of
Mr. Dawson, was conveyed in a hopeless state to the Leicester
Infirmary. It is supposed the cow was frightened on witness_
lag the number of people returning over the bridge, after seeing
the execution.—Leicester Herald.

REMARKABLE DEATII.—A practice is not
unfrequent of cracking nuts by placing the palm of the hand
over them on a table, and striking the back of the hand so as by
the pressure to break the shell. 'This practice has been at-
tended by a melancholy fatality in this city last week. A
young man named Thomas Rhodes, a bricklayer; who resided
in Walingate,was thus employed on Monday evening week, when
he suddenly felt a severe pain, his arm irranediately swelled to a
frightful size, and the alarming symptoms continued to in.
crease, in spite of surgical treatment, until his throat was
swollen so that he could not speak, and death terminated his
excruciating tortures on Friday last. York Courant.
M• aoli V ittlgitail toss I.i:spited the execu-
tion of Simon Frost, who was left here for execution. A state-
ment in favour of his former conduct was forwarded to the
Judge, signed by all the respectable inhabitants of the parish of
Hessett, where he had always resided.—Bury Herald.
