MR. HUME AND THE CHOLERA.-Yester-
flay evening a numerous meeting, to form a Mechanics'
Institution, took place at the Mulberry-garden School-
room. Prince's-square, Sr. George's in the East. GEORGE
OFEAR, Esq., a magistrate, was called to the chair. Mr.
Memitis said that the meeting had been once adjourned, in
consequence of Mr. HUME breaking a promise which he
bad made to attend their meeting on Monday evening. It
was expected, howtver, that he would attend that evening
(Tuesday.) The following letter, just received, had
dis-
appointed them:—
" Bryanston-square, Feb. 140832..

SlR,—The appearance of cholera at Limehouse and its vici-
nity renders a public meeting, as had been appointed fur this
evening, very impolitic; and however unpleasant the disappoint-
ment may be, I advise the Committee immediately to counter-
order the meeting until the alarm shall be over, as I cannot be
the means of bringing so many persons together at this time.
" I remain your obedient servant,
" JOSEPH HUME."

Mr. Mc:mitts said that he had sent a message back to
Mr. HUME, to say the disappointment would be great in-
deed. The genileisien at the West end of the town were
mightily afraid of the cholera—he hoped they would have
their share of it. The meeting then proceeded to business,
not appearing to be sensible that at a period when cholera
is reported to be prevalent in their district, the calling to-
gether large assemblages of people, when it can be avoided,
is. to say the least of it, imprudent, if not extremely rash
and reprehensible.—Morning Chronicle.
We have to announce that tithes will be col-
lected under the authority and by the power of Govern-
ment, which is now providing the means of accomplishing
this object. Major MILLER has been ordered to take up
his residence in Cashel, where ninety of the Carhineers,
and ten mounted and several foot police, are stationed.—

The Garrick Club have wisely engaged in the
cuisine the far-famed SOLOMON, who, fur nearly forty years,
directed the taste of the Piazza Coffee-house. The Com-
mittee of Noblemen and Gentlemen who superintend this
establishment have placed the charges for eating and drink-
ing upon the lowest scale. The club is full, and many
persona of distinction are candidates for admission.
BRISTOL, FEB. 13.—The holding of the
Quarter Sessions created some stir through the city to.
day, hut it is not expected that any cases will be tried
deserving of notice, the Special Commission having dis-
posed of all the trials that possessed any thing of public
interest. The address of the Learned Town.clerk (Sex-
jeant LUDLOW) to the Grand Jury, has furoished, how-
ever, some food to the citizens, which they will not find
easy of digestion. The Learned Serjeant considered him-
self bound on this public occasion to give the inhabitants
some knowledge of the comforts which the Corporation in
their kindness and grace intend, with the permission of
Parliament, to shower upon the city of Bristol. Among
other things, the pleasing information was afforded, that
the rate upon Bristol for the loss during the late out-
rages will be no less a sum than 10s. in the IL rental of
the city. A notice has been very generally posted through
the city, from the Committee of Inquiry, stating that the
Committee has made another and last application to Go-
vernment for a Commission of Inquiry. The notice has
created a good deal of conversation, and has calmed the
anxiety of the people on the subject for the present. The
answer if Lord MELBOURNE is very anxiously looked for.
