-An extraordinary demand for; and advance in, brandy
has taken place, which is ascribed to the popular idea
that it is an antidote against cholera. No doubt, used
medieinallY, it is beneficial ; but the indiscriminate use of

CHOLERA FROM DRINKING; IMPURE WATER.—At
Hartlepool, last week, an experienced medical practi-
tioner stated, before a coroner's-inquest. that cholera was•
most prevalent on shipboard among those sailors whose

from the-impurity of the water which they took from the
river Thames for ordinary consumption during their
voyage.
SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE.—On Saturday it was sup.
posed that a poor woman was dead at Fisherton ; and,

woman had symptoms of life remaining, and she has
recovered : but her husband is since both dead and
buried.—Hereford Journal..
Great numbers of holly trees in the woods in the county
of Durham have lately beea.stripped of their bark, which
the plunderers use for mahimg birdlime. Some idea,may
formed of the extent to which these depredations- have
been carried, from the fact that in the woods at Ham-
sterly, the seat of Mr. Suttees, nearly 200 holly treeshave
thus been barked, and many fine trees, which have been
"ringed." have thus been destroyed.
SINGULAR MARRIADD.—On Monday, the 20th ult.,
at Bridlington, by the Bev. H. F. Barnes, M.A., Mr.
Robert Knowles, hawker, to Miss Catherine Conolly—
, both being deaf and dumb. The ceremony was performed

ing on the book as he proceeded ; and, on coming to the
responses, they replied in the dumb alphabet. Both
bride and bridegroorn wrote their names remarkably well
in the register-book.,
SIR JAMES CLARK AND THE CHOLERA.--Last week's
' papers contained what purported to bee recipe for the cure
of diarrhoea and cholera, by Sir James Clark, physician to
the Queen. Sir .I)arees has written to the Times and
says—" I shall feel greatly obliged by your permitting
me to state that the prescription was never written nor
sanctioned by m e; on the contrray, I consider it abso-
lutely dangerous in the dose, a tablespoonful (nearly equal
to five grains of opium !) in which it is recommended."

. , ------.
VALUE OP LAND.—On Monday the- Gilston Estate,
situated in Herefordshire, comprising about 1,496 .acres
of arable and meadow land, and of the value of about
£2,500 per annum, was put up for sale at Garraway's
Coffee-house, London. There is a mansion attached,
which was built in the reign of Elizabeth ; the majority
of the trees on the estate are oak being above 300 years
old. There are also several lakes, a park, &c. The first
offer was £30,000, and after some competition it was
knocked down for £55,000.
CLEAN SHIRTS FOR WORKING MEN.—A Cumberland
paper states—" That an establishment exists in the Mar-
ket-place, Whitehaven, where labouring men resort on
Saturday nights to procure clean shirts for Sunday.
Having bought the original shirt at this shop the owner
takes it back on Saturday night, after a week's wear, and
exchanges it for a clean one on payment of three half-
pence, being one halfpenny less than would be charged by
the washerwoman. An extensive business is done in this
way." A practice similar in character, but on a more
SCRIPTURE READERS.—On Thursday last an interest-
ing scene occurred at Moor-park, the seat of Lord Robert
Grosvenor. The noble owner invited the whole of the
Scripture Readers of the Church of England Metropolitan
Association to spend the day there. They arrived, between
eighty and ninety in number, about one o'clock, and at
two o'clock the repast was served in the Cipriani Gallery,
the noble host and hostess presiding, accompanied by
their visitors, Mr. and M.U. Henry Kingscote, the vicar
