DUBLIN, Oct. 9.

The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police
have instituted inquiries as to the number of houses
in Dublin deficient in backyards and waterclosets,
and the number of families resident in each house so
circumstanced. The number of houses is 1,648, in-
habited by 3,767 families, who are destitute of those
appliances and means of cleanliness on which their
health must to a great extent depend. The Uuder-
Secretary, Sir Thomas Larcom, has, by order of the
Lord-Lieutenant, directed the attention of the Cor •
poration to these statistics, and to the fact that the
police are in the habit of summoning the inhabitants
for depositing nuisances in the streets when they can
not get rid of it any other way. His Excellency re-
commends that carts should be sent round early in
the morning for the removal of the nuisances, and
reminds them that they are enabled by an order in
Council to make by-laws to compel landlords to pro-
vide water closets, &c. ; and his Excellency trusts
that in framing these by-laws the Council will en-
deavour, as far as lays in their power, and as the
circumstances of the case admit, to remedy a state
of things which fully accounts for the prevalence of
fever or any other contagious or infectious disease,
and which cannot but entail the most disastrous
consequences upon the moral and physical condition
of the poor.
In Cork five cases of Asiatic cholera have occurred
since last Friday. The first was a woman who
lived in an exceedingly filthy lane, always a nest
of sickness, and close by is a slaughter house, badly
swept and having no arrangements for flushing or
cleansing. The Cork Examiner states that, the epi-
demic having appeared, the Mayor has promptly
carried out every measure suggested to prevent the
spread of the disease.
The cholera has happily disappeared from Arklow,
where about 60 persons wcee carried off by the pes-
tilence. The victims would have been much more
numerous but for the humane exertions of the Earl
of Wicklow and Lord Proby and their families.
The requisition to Capt. White has been signed by
one M.P., four D.L.'s, six J.P.'s, and eight P.P.'s.
They have pledged themselves to give him "an un-
divided and strenuous support." In his address to
the electors he states that he is favour of tenant
right, which is realised on his father's estates with
advantage to him and his tenantry, and that he will
support no Government that will not introduce and
honestly carry through a Tenant Right Bill at least
as comprehtnsive as that of last Session. He will
support denominational education and a charter with
an endowment for the Catholic University. He re-

garils the Irish Church Establishment as "an
anomaly too glaring for any intelligent and impar-
tial man to defend," and he will support a measure
for the final settlement of a queation which has been
the source of so much discontent in Ireland. lie is
confident that the men of Tipperary would not ask
him to take the field against the forces of " a coali-
tion as unnatural as it is unprincipled," unless they
were resolved to advance with him to certain victory.
The election is expected to take place next week.
The cattle fair at Ballinasloe yesterday was well
supplied, and there was a good demand. The prices
ranged from 15s. to 20s. below the prices of last
year, the reduction being greatest in bullocks.
Heifers brought from £l5 to £2O a head.

loading for ewYork
which is a fine ship of about 1,419 tons burden, had
recently arrived at Liverpool, from New York, and
was again loading outward for that port when the
explosion took place. As far as could be learned

For some time, in consequence of the smoke and
steam and the falling debris, it was utterly unable to
ascertain the extent of 'the damage. When the
smoke, &c., had cleared away a most fearful and
sickening sight presented itself. The boiler of the
engine and the engine itself were torn to fragments,
and lying about the o
stood were the dead apnedn space where

stood were the dead and mutilated bodies of five
working men who were close to the engine whentho
catastrophe took place. In addition to those killed,
there are several others more or less severely injured,
and it is feared that the wounds of some of the poor
fellows who were taken to the Northern Hospital
are of such a nature as to preclude all hopes of re-
covery. The names of the dead and wounded could
not be ascertained up to the despatch of our parcel,
but no doubt at the inquest, to be held to-morrow,
all particulars as to the names of the dead and in-
jured, and the cause of the explosion, will be made
known. The City of Liverpool is owned in Liverpool
by Messrs. Boult, English, and Brandon, the well-
, known shipowners.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's 01 ntmen t. In bad legs,
scrofulous sores, glandular swellings, this ointment operates
and with a rapidity that
very gently but very surely,
re-
sembles magic. It should be rubbed into the parts affected
after they have been fomented with lukewarm water. The
purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent
have never been disputed by any one who has given it a
fair trial. It contains not a particle of any substance of a
noxious nature, nor is there a case on record in which it
has done the slightest harm, while there aro authentic re-
ports of innumerable cures effected by it in all countries.
It is as mild in its action as it is powerful and beneficial bi-
as effects. •
