THAMES-POLICE.  Yesterday Mr. Selwood, the Churchwarden, and one of the Overseers of St. Botolph 'Without, Aidgate, attended before Captain RICIIBELL, the sitting Magistrate, to meet a complaint made by Mr. Kelly, an Irish gentleman, and a surgeon in extensive practice in Shadwell, that they had neglected to provide proper medical attendance for numerous individuals lately attacked with cholera in the neighbourhood of Rosemary-lane. Mr. Kelly begged leave to state that nothing could exceed the virulence of the disease amongst the lower order of Irish in the vicinity of Rosemary. lane, which he attributed to the want of proper as. sistance, and the neglect of the parochial authorities. He could assure the Magistrates that the mortality had been very great; the young and healthy had fallen victims to the disease, and many had suffered for the want of sustenance arid sufficient clothing. The fatal cases had amounted to at least one-half the number attacked, and but for the gratuitous assistance he had rendered many more would have died.  Mr. Selwood, in reply, complained that Mr. Kelly had made a most unfounded and exaggerated statement to the Lambeth-street Magistrate. Since Thursday fortnight the parish-officers had employed four medical gentlemen to attend the cholera patients, who were told they might have everything they .vanted.  Mr. Kelly declared that there was no place whatever in the parish to which persons attacked with cholera could be removed. The Overseer said the Irish would not let the parish doctors come in, and nothing could make them clean.  Mr. Kelly said his countrymen had their peculiar predilections, and wanted Roman Catholic clergy, and surgeons of their own. The overseers said the Irish inhabited upwards of 200 houses in the parish, which had no owners, and for which they never paid any rent ; and they certainly had a peculiar predilection for a h and dirt. Mr. SELWOOD said, on the first breaking out of the disease in the metropolis, they fitted up a large house as a cholera hospital, but they could persuade but few to go to it, and the people said those that died were killed by the doctors. They had, however, two small houses whither patients could be removed if they pleased. The overseers said they had ample funds to provide every assistance to those attacked with cholera. Mr. Kelly said in that case the parish officers might employ him, as he bad great influence amongst his countrymen, and he could cure the disease by calomel and opium, which he hoped would be made known.  An Overseer said the fact was Dr. Kelly wanted a job. Dr. Kelly replied with great warmth, " Indeed, Dr. Kelly wants no such thing." Osborn, the beadle, had been nearly murdered in attempting to lime-wash the houses, and he had leformed every one that there was plenty of whitewash if they liked to come for it. The deaths from cholera in Aldgate Without, since June 28, amounted to 50 ; amongst whom were several respectable shopkeepers, residing in Upper East Smithfield, opposite Sr. Katharine Dock. The mortality in Whitechapel, adjoining Aldgate, had been great. After en angry altercation between Mr. Kelly and the parochial authorities—  Captain
