the Cunard steamers Europa and Tarifa for the con-
veyance of the 13th Hussars and their horses to
Canada. They will probably sail on Wednesday or
Thursday next.

The E battery, B Brigade, Royal Horse Artillery,

Lieut. J. Bramley, Assist.-Surg. Ramsay, one vete-
-rinary-sur., two staff-sergts., five sergts., five cor-

A detachment of nine non-commissioned officers,
told off for special service in Canada, took their de-
parture yesterday from the depot, Royal Artillery,
Woolwich, and proceeded by train to Liverpool, to
take the'mail packet thence to Quebec.
We have to announce the death of Vice-Admiral
C. Rich, who died yesterday afternoon at his tem-
porary residence in Pall-mall, from the effects of an
accident. On Sunday night, in descending the lower
flight of steps of the staircase at the United Service
Club, he made a false step, and fell with great vio-
lence on the marble pavement. He sustained a very
severe cut on the head, besides other injuries. The
Admiral was immediately taken to his lodgings, a
few ' doors from the Club, and medical aid was
promptly obtained. He died yesterday afternoon
between 12 and 1 o'clock. His commissions bore
date as follows :—Lieut., June 28, 1810 ; Com-
mander, Jan. 27, 1816 ; Captain, June 28, 1838 ;
retired Rear-Admiral, Sept. 10, 1857 ; and Vice-
Admiral, Feb. 9, 1864..
The following appointments have been made at
the Admiralty :--Capt. Astley Cooper "Key, C. 8.,
to be Acting Director-General of Naval Ordnance;
Capt. Hood (of the Pylades) to the Excellent, vice
Capt. Key; Sub-Lieut. G. IL R. Willis to the Lord
Clyde ; Gilbert A. Meason, midshipman, to the
Ocean ; John Masterman, midshipman, to the Hec-
tor ; C. J. G. Sawie, naval cadet, to the Ocean, as
supernumerary; Edward B. Eyre and Arthur Dew,
naval cadets, nominated, and Peter Robertson, en-
gineer, to the Orontes.

valent to a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share. There
would be a further reduction in turnpikes in
November next.

Mr. NODES contended that the profits of the
past half-year, including £1,084 for interest, did not
exceed £9,988, which would admit of a dividend of
only 31 per cent., but they might make it 31, per
cent. He was in favour of having 2d. fares on
the various routes instead of 3d. fares. He moved
as an amendment that the dividend be at the rate of
3f per cent. per annum, instead of at the rate of 5
per cent. per annum, as proposed by the directors.

Mr. Fox complained that many of the men had
too many hours and not sufficient rest.

Mr. MACNAMARA, a director, said that every man
had a day's rest when he wanted it, and they were
careful not to overwork their men.
Mr. RADCLIFFE stated that the omnibus service
between the Edgware-road and Hungerford-market
was wholly inadequate to the wants of the public,
particularly in the morning, and that it was impos-
sible for a large number to get seats, and when they
did the journey occupied 25 minutes.

Mr. MACNAMARA said they had put two or three
new omnibuses on the route, ada he believed the
difficulty had been met, but, if not, he would be
happy to meet Mr. Radcliffe on the subject.
The amendment was negatived by a large ma-
jority, and [the report was unanimously adopted,
together with the dividend at the rate of 5 per cent
per annum for the past half-year.
The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks
to the chairman and directors.

a trade, is also entitled to a sum of 50f. This was
paid in 1864 for 813 children (=40,650f.) A cer-
tain number of the guardians had consented to sur-
render the rewards or apprentice fees to which they
were entitled, and these sums, placed to the credit
of the respective children, have furnished a valuable
resource for them when ceasing to be under the
guardianship of the administration. In December,
1864, 4,861 pupils had to their credit a capital of
304,654 f. 27c. A sum of 14,863 f. 25c. provided by
the liberality of charitable persons was also distri-
buted in 1864 as rewards, apprenticeship fees, or
marriage portions to deserving young persons. Very
few of the wards of the administration had caused
trouble by serious misconduct. In 1864, out of a
population of 10,000 young people from 10 to 21
years of age, only 24 were the objects of judicial in-
quiries, and then for acts of slight importance.
Sixty-eight persons under 21 years of age demanded
permission to marry. After 21 no consent is neces-
sary. Mr. Hart adds that those who have discussed
the question of orphanages, as contrasted with the
plan of placing children in country cottages, have

done so without any other than either a theoretical
opinion or very limited experience of two or three
cases only in which children have been so disposed

in cottages. The experiment is carried out success

fully and on a very large scale indeed in France, and
as no reference had hitherto been made to this fact
he had thought it desirable to give some of the
figures illustrating the operation of the French plan.
Before separating yesterday the committee made
grants to local committees to the amount in all of
£250 towards the relief of the distress, £lOO of

which they appropriated to Bow and Bromley. They
. _

received in the course of the day a welcome present
of a cask containing 27 gallons of port wine from
Mr. James Park, of Ball-court, Giltspur-street, for
distribution among the sick and convalescent. A
few days ago Mr. Henry Sprague, of Martin's-lane,
Cannon-street, presented them with five jars of port
for the same benevolent purpose.
A check for £7 75., sent to the Lord Mayor towards
the fund,was, by a slight clerical error, stated to be

the donation of Mr. Cuthbert Borradaile alone, in-
stead of that of Messrs. Dean, the proprietors, and
Mr. Borradaile, the editor, of " Debrett's illus-
trated Peerage," &c., Mr. Borradaile, in making
the emendation, writes :
" Will you allow me to add s word or two as to my expe-
rience— mentioned in Tuesday's papers—of the cholera
districts in the east ? Could any one have imagined such
a case as I saw last Sunday—an idiot boy of 10 years old,
both of his parents dead from cholera, seven deaths in the
house of his stop-father, who had bean left with two other
step-children and one child of his own, and a grandmother
standing by the child's bedside, who has openly announced
her intention of exhibiting the boy,on his leaving the house,
as an idiot, cured of the worst form of cholera ?' I could
mention several cases as sad as this, but hardly so revolting.
Two children in Limehouse, under 10 years of age, both of
whose parents have died of cholera—children marked in the
chaplain's list as of 'superior' birth and position ; two other
children whose widowed mother before she fell a victim to
the disease supported seven orphan children in comfort ;'
but I will not intrude further on your space, except to
commend to your notice the propriety of directing atten-
tion to special cases such as I have mentioned. For instance,
could not the idiot boy I have spoken of be got into an
asylum ?"

THE BISHOP OF LONDON AND THE CHOLERA

DISTRICTS.

On Monday last the Bishop of London and Mrs.
Tait visited St. James's, Ratcliff, one of tha poorest
districts in the east of London, where the cholera
has been very prevalent and fatal. His lordship
was received at the parsonage by the incumbent and
the members of the Local Relief Committee, and
proceeded to the church, which was crowded with
poor people, very many of whom had suffered from
cholera, either personally or in their families. Litany
was said by the Rev. R. H. Atherton, the incum-
bext, after which the bishop preached a most im-
pressive sermon. He then went into the large school
room adjoining, which wasfull of poor, some of them
convalescouts, scarcely able to stand, and nearly all
in want of food. The bishop having addressed them
in words of kindness and encouragement, pronounced
the benediction, after which Mrs. Tait superintended
the distribution of loaves to the poor. His lordship
then visited the Mission Home, where sisters from
St. Peter's Home, Brompton, and from St. George's
Mission have been staying since the outbreak of
cholera, and who have been, humanly speaking, in-
strumental in saving many lives. The bishop evinced
great interest in their work, and offered up prayer
for its success. Some clothes were afterwards given
to the children of the ragged schools, who heartily
cheered those who had cared for them .

The help so promptly given by the Bishop's and
the Mansion-house Committees has powerfully aided
in checking the progress of claelora, but the local
committee and others who are best acquainted with
the wants of the people fear that, as the cholera is
still among us, it will break out again if further help
should be withheld. The incumbent is so convinced
of the value of the services rendered by the sisters
that he is anxious to establish a permanent Mission
Home in his parish.

cholera and diarrhoea in London, registered on Sun-
day and Monday, Sept. 2 and 3 :

BOW AND BROMLEY SUB-DISTRICT.—Return of
deaths from cholera and diarrhoea in this sub-dis•
trict —For the week ending July 28, 144 ; Aug. 4

Sept. 1, 8.

We see from the lists that one Alexander T.
Stewart, dry-goods person, we believe, returns an income
of $814,200 a year, the greatest in America. If Mr. Stewart

is not the mere representative of a company, it is also, in
all probability, the largest business income in the world.
It is extremely improbable, if we except the Rothschilds,
whose wealth is rather that of a family than of an indi-
vidual, that any uncrowned person has an income ap-
proaching-Mr. Stewart's. If such a one exists, it must bo
among the South American States, whore there aro still
one or two families surpassing those of Europe. The
largest realised income in America is Mr. Astor's, returned,
we believe, at more than £BO,OOO a year, a sum below the
English highest level, but considerably above the boundary
line between the rich and the millionaires, namely, £50,000
a year from realised property. Till recently there were
certainly not one thousand such millionaires in the world,
but with the rise in rents and prices the number must
have considerably increased. Spectator.
[ADVERTISEMENT.] Holloway's Pills. Liver Com-
plaints and Disorders of tho Bowels.—lt is impossible to
exaggerate the extraordinary virtues of this medicine in
the treatment of all affections of the liver or irregularities
of the bowels. In case of depraved or super-abundant bile
these pills, taken freely, have never been known to fail.
In bowel complaints they are equally efficacious, but they
should then be taken rather more sparingly, for every me-
dicine in the form of an aperient requires caution when the
bowels are disordered, though a gentle or more genial ape-
rient than these pills in moderate doses has never yet been
discovered. If taken according to the printed instructions
they not only cure the complaint, but improve the whole
system.
