said Dr. M. "The most remarkable phenomenon in a physiological point of view, and that on which the most alarming symptoms depend, is the change in the circulation. From the first exhibition of the disease, the heart does not present more than from twelve to fifteen contractions per minute; it is not merely that the frequency of the pulsation is diminished, but there is a diminution in the powers of that organ, and this to such an extent, that if the patient be moved from a horizontal, with a view to raise his body to a vertical position, the heart is incapable of exerting a sufficient impetus to drive the blood to the head; the patient, consequently, faints away, and sometimes expires under the simple operation of this change of posture. I am happy," added Dr. M. "that what I have otherwise to report, is of a consolatory character with regard to our own country. The town of Sunderland has not been attacked in every quarter by the Cholera; indeed, the disease has invaded but a limited portion of it. It is a place containing forty thousand souls, of great commercial activity, and the seat of extraordinary industry. It contains no less than eight hundred dwellings, belonging to manufacturers or merchants of note. These individuals, as well as every person in easy circumstances, reside in two parishes, which are situated on an eminence. But, as to the poorer class of the population, they are crowded together in a distinct quarter of the town, (that which is properly called 'the parish of Sunderland'); a quarter, lying in a hollow near the river, and encompassed by heights, on the north, south, and east, which impede the free circulation of the air. The construction of the lower part of the town is of a description to prevent any kind of ventilation: the houses are separated by wretched streets, not more than three or four feet in breadth; every apartment is from eight to ten feet square, and from six to seven feet high (!); and each of them is inhabited by a whole family, who perform every function of life in it, and cook their victuals with sea coal, in the very heart of so dense a smoke, that, even at mid-day, there is not more light than what is necessary to enable one to grope one's way. I entered these miserable abodes more than once, and, though I carried a light in my hand, I found it difficult to discover the patient; in many instances, he was lying down on a sack, filled with goose feathers, and as this sack serves as a bed for the whole family, the icy coldness of his body was the only criterion by which I was enabled to distinguish him from the others.

"The parish of Sunderland consists of seventeen thousand inhabitants,-fourteen thousand of whom are on the poor-books, and are relieved, not directly from the house (fabrique), but through a contractor, whose interest it is to dispense the smallest modicum of aid he can contrive. Now, those who receive this aid are not, in all cases, able to hire the wretched description of dwellings to which I have just alluded; they are mustered in a common or poor-house, than which the imagination cannot picture a more hideous abiding-place: this is especially applicable to the Infirmary, a chamber twenty feet square, round which a row of such sacks of feathers as I have before described, is ranged. On these sacks are rolled, pell-mell, women, children, and old men, (most of them in a dying state,) and they are attended by other paupers, who are suffering too much in their own persons to have any feeling for their fellow-creatures' agonies! In no part of the lower town of Sunderland are there any public sewers; the filth and putrid matters are consigned to the roof or street; and the banks of the river are coated with a noxious surface, the greater portion of which is composed of those defilements. This inconceivable degree of uncleanliness, combined with the complete absence of ventilation, and the extreme destitution under which

a part of the population pine, are obviously favourable, in an eminent degree, either to the breeding or propagation of disease. Hence, the Sunderland faculty have remarked for a long time past, that not a year transpires without the appearance of some destructive epidemy in this quarter-either typhus, scarlet-fever, or scarlettina."

Dr. M. added, that, owing to the popular prejudice against dissection, he had only been able to examine one isolated subject; and closed his report by commenting, in no strain of eulogy indeed, on the sanitory measures adopted at Sunderland. In the subsequent debate, M. Moreau de Jonnès vindicated the Board of Health from his colleague's aspersions, and laid much stress upon the value of the official reports supplied to him by that body; against which, however, Dr. Majendie again levelled his anathema.

FINE ARTS

Landscape Illustrations of the Waverley Novels, with letter-press descriptions. 2 vols. London, 1831. Tilt; Moon, Boys, & Graves. THIS very interesting work is now completed -it contains eighty landscapes after Stanfield, Robson, Daniell, Dewint, Constable, Fielding, and other skilful artists, all engraved by the two Findens; of these, some five and twenty, which we could select, are worth the five pounds which the volumes cost. This is the true and satisfactory way of embellishing works of genius; that learned society, whom the satirist lampoons for examining the moon by her own light, were wiser than those men who desired to explore her by means of a farthing candle. For instance, in the Dumfrieshire part of the Waverley Novels, Guy Mannering,' and 'Redgauntlet,' we are infinitely better pleased to see the splendid 'Firth of Solway,' with its winding shores and dancing waves, The Old Castle of Lagg,' "The Baronial Ruins of Caerlaverock,' 'The Waste of Cumberland,' nay, even the good 'Town of Dumfries' itself, with its three steeples and its grave of Robert Burns, than we should be to look at any creations of the painter's fancy, though made, as he imagined, in the spirit of

the text. But it is not to that beautiful and secluded district, that we owe all the attractions of these volumes; the artists have wandered with the writer, from the Orkneys to the Straits of Dover, and made an excursion into France, selecting with much judgment, the interesting and picturesque scenes which the northern novelist had introduced into his pages. From many painters' portfolios these scenes have been collected-one of no common beauty was supplied by the Marchioness of Stafford. Though it would probably have been as well to have given the Findens the aid of other brethren of the graver, yet the illustrations are surpassingly beautiful; it is to their advantage, too, that they are calculated to bind up, at the will of the purchaser, with the volumes of Scott.

giving a hint to printsellers generally, that the first of them who shall boldly come forward, with sufficient capital to take the lead, and give the public works of the highest excellence at the lowest possible price, will stand a good chance of making a fortune; and such a man shall have our zealous support-but two things are the condition, the lowest possible price, calculating on the largest possible sale, and the finest works that art can produce;-to this it will come, and the sooner the better; and the first in the field will reap the richest harvest. We may say more on this subject shortly.

The Choruses, under the direction of approved Masters, together with the Corps de Ballet, have been entirely remodelled and increased; and it is presumed will be found consistent with the rest of the arrangements in their several departments.

The following are some among the musical works which are proposed to be represented:The 'Esule di Roma,' and 'Olivo e Pasquale' of Donizetti-' La Straniera' of Bellini-' Il Demetrio e Polibio' of Rossini, being the first Illustrations to all Editions of the Waverley Novels; production of his pen; with, perhaps, the Armida' or 'Ermione' of the same author'L'Alfredo' of Mayr-' Il Sansone' of the celebrated Professor Basily, now the President of the Imperial Conservatory of Music at MilanLa Vestale' of Spontini-'L'Annibale in Bettinia' of Niccolini La Sylvana' of Weber - Il Matrimonio per raggiro' of Cimarosathe Maometto' of Winter-and 'L'Idomeneo, Rè di Creta' of Mozart. In addition to the

'Pirate' to 'Quentin Durward.' Part IV. London, 1831. Moon, Boys & Graves. WE have before admitted that these illustrations have decidedly improved. This part contains many clever pictures, and amongst others, the vignettes to Quentin Durward,' and those capital ones by Purser and Wilkie to 'Peveril.'

Select Views of all the Principal Cities of Europe. London, 1831. Moon, Boys & Co. WE presume this work has not been very successful, from its hurrying to a close on the publication of only five parts; it was rather for fidelity than beauty, that it claimed the patronage of the public, and we think, under such circumstances, it should have been published at a lower price. We take this opportunity of

+ The term of the engagement of Mademoiselle TAGLIONI and her Brother depending upon the result of a letter expected daily from the Court of Berlin, the Public are requested to observe, that the above are not to be reckoned upon, as forming a portion of that Company to which the Director pledges himself for any considerable length of time.

As the contracts have not been finally completed with every proposed Member of the Orchestra, it may possibly occur that a few of the names may be changed.

Offers have been likewise held out to the celebrated Maestro Paër, to attend at the representation of his most favoured work, 'Sargino,' which the Director has reason to believe will

not be refused.

above, the celebrated opera of 'Robert le Dia-veloped as we could have wished, and we were ble' has been purchased, and, with the original now and then at a loss to understand where the Performers from the Academie Royale at Paris, actors were, and how they got there; but the will be produced under the immediate direction whole thing was light and agreeable, and, asof its great author, Meyerbeer. On this occasisted by some pretty music, passed to its consion, an Overture, which has hitherto been clusion with considerable applause, and without wanting, will be composed by him, and no exa symptom of disapprobation. The third act, ertion or expense avoided to render the whole contrary to custom, was better than either of the most perfect entertainment possible. The the others. In this a very amusing situation is Esule di Granata' of the same author, will at produced, by some volunteer falsehoods of Scipio, the same time be brought out, under his direca servant (Mr. Harley). The equivoque was tion, the entire of the second act being re- well managed and well sustained, and the efforts written for the occasion: La Dame Blanche,' of author and actors were rewarded by shouts of translated into Italian, will likewise be repre- laughter. Mr. Wood was evidently labouring sented by the performers of the Academie under a cold, but he sang with much taste and Royale, and M. Boieldieu, the author, it is ex- sweetness. His first ballad, which is very pretty, pected, will add to its interest, and ensure its was deservedly encored.-It is always painful to success, by his presence. us to speak of a lady in any other terms than those of praise, but if the management will continue to be so injudicious as to put Miss Pearson into parts for which she is in no way fitted, we are bound, on behalf of the public, to object. We know not why Mrs. Wood did not take the part-but, whatever was the cause of her absence, there are several ladies on the establishment to whom, after her, but before Miss Pearson, the principal part in a musical piece ought to have been entrusted. We need not go far for an instancethe drama itself contained one-Miss Field, one of the most correct singers, and one of the best female musicians, perhaps the best, on the stage, was sent on to lead one chorus, while the first singing character was occupied by a lady who is not to be compared to her, either as a singer or as an actress. We are not of the number of those who approve of any actor or actress refusing to do that which is best for the interest of the theatre from which they receive a salary; but there is a medium in all things. This is an extreme case, and it is a duty which we owe to modest talent to remonstrate against such an affront being put upon it. What right have managers to complain of the public neglecting their houses, if such things, be it through mistake or wilfulness, are persisted in? It is no answer to this to say, that Miss Pearson was two or three times encored; we have no wish to make our remarks more disagreeable than we feel absolutely called upon to do, but our allusion will be sufficiently understood, when we say, that such encores were not in accordance with the feelings or wishes of a vast majority of the audience. Mr. Farren made the most of a part which did not afford him any very striking opportunities; and he is the more entitled to our thanks, because we have sometimes accused him of being a wee-bit covetous. Miss Phillips had an arduous part, if we only consider the number of times she had to change her dress it was certainly either six or seven. She acquitted herself very well, as did Mr. Wallack, Mr. Harley, Mrs. Örger, and Mrs. Humby. 'My own Lover' was given out for Saturday amidst general approbation.

A company of German performers has been engaged to represent the chefs-d'œuvre of their national composers, in their native language, during the months of May and June. These performances, with the grand Ballet, will be produced alternately with the Italian Operas, and subscriptions will be opened for the same, either separately or in conjunction with the ordinary entertainments of the establishment. The company, which has been selected from the élite of all Germany, will be complete both in numbers and ability. The following eminent artists have already been engaged for the occasion:Mademoiselle Nanette Schechner, Madame Schrae. der Devrient, Madlle. Heinefetter, Madlle. Schützel, Madame Spitzeder, Madile. Schneider, &c.-Herr Haizinger, Signor Giulio Pellegrini, Herr Dobler, Herr Wächter, Herr Spitzeder, Herrn Wieser, Hahn, &c. The Music will consist of all the principal modern compositions of the German school. The 'Fidelio' of Beethoven-'Eurianthe' and 'Freischütz' of Weber-the 'Jessonda' of Spohr -the 'Hochzeit der Figaro,' 'Belmonte e Constanze,' and 'Don Juan' of Mozart-the 'Macbeth' of Chelard, who has been induced to come from Munich, to preside at the representation-the 'Vampyr' of Lindpaintner, who likewise will honour the performance with his presence-the 'Emmeline' of Weigl-the 'Roberbraut' of Ries;-these, and whatever others may be found in the repertoire of the existing company, the entrepreneur states, shall be represented in the great Theatre of the Italian Opera House.

Next week we may add some few less important arrangements.

THEATRICALS

DRURY LANE.

A musical drama, in three, acts called My Own Lover,' was produced here on Wednesday with success. The drama itself, as well as the music, we understand to be from the hic et ubique pen of Mr. Rodwell, whose works we have, within a short time, had to notice at Covent Garden, the Adelphi, and the Olympic. We are not in the habit of detailing plots at length, thinking it best to say enough to excite curiosity, and then to let our readers go and judge for themselves. In the present instance, it is fortunate that we are not, for the piece consists so much more of incident and situation than of plot, that it would be impossible, within any reasonable space, to follow it through all its windings and turnings. The principal point, from which the name arises, is the endeavour of a young lady, Donna Julia, (Miss Phillips,) to turn a wayward lover into a steady one, by exciting his jealousy, and this she effects, by disguising herself in male attire and passing for her own lover. The incidents were not quite so clearly de

"In the Imperial Library of the Austrian metropolis is a perfect copy of H. Stephani Thesaurus Linguæ Græcæ,' which contains a host of manuscript comments, the author of which had hitherto remained unknown. One of the librarians, whilst engaged in perusing these comments a short time back, discovered one in which the writer says-' Vide meam scholam in Editione Horatii, libro- Od.-.' Didot, hearing of this occurrence, set about investigating the various editions of Horace published by H. Stephens, and was fortunate enough to hit upon the very passage to which the unknown commentator referred; from this circumstance he considers himself fully justified in ascribing the notes in the Vienna copy to Stephens himself, and he has announced his intention of turning them to all possible advantage in his new edition of the Thesaurus."

Bent's List of Books published during the Year lation, that the number of new books published 1831. It appears from this little useful compiin the last year was about 1100, exclusive of new editions, pamphlets, or periodicals-being 50 less than in 1830.

Royal Patronage.-The civil list of Louis Philippe contains some items, which, we conceive, would not figure to an useless purpose in that of a King of Great Britain, whether in a political, or literary and scientific point of view. Those, to which we refer, are,

WORKS published by Baldwin and Cradock, UNDER THE SUPERINTENDENCE OF THE SOCIETY FOR THE DIFFUSION OF USEFUL KNOWLEDGE.

1. LIBRARY of USEFUL KNOWLEDGE

of this Series 118 Numbers are published, at 6ɗ. each ; the most recent are ASTRONOMY, No. 3; MANUFACTURE of IRON; the STUDY of MATHEMATICS; and ELECTROMAGNETISM. The completion of the latter subjects, together with a Glossary, Index, and Title, now ready, will enable Subscribers to bind up a second volume of Natural Philosophy. The volumes now complete, therefore, are:

Vol. I. and II. of Natural Philosophy, Geometry, and the History of Greece. A volume of Biography is nearly ready; and the Histories of Rome, and of the Church, will proceed, with little interruption, until those volumes are complete.

2. The Farmer's Series. This has proceeded to the 23rd Number, of which 15 comprise the well-known work on 'The Horse,' which is sold bound in cloth and lettered for ss. 6d., illustrated by very numerous cuts; four of them consist of a Treatise on Planting, which will be complete in one more Number; and four of Select Farms, which will eventually form an interesting volume. A Treatise on British Cattle will be commenced forthwith by the able author of The Horse,' which will be continued without intermission until the volume be complete.

3. A Series of Maps, Modern and Ancient. Of this 19 Numbers are published, each containing two Maps, price 1s.: or the outlines coloured, 1s. 6d.

*.* In preparing these Maps, the Editors have had access to, and fully availed themselves of, all the late naval surveys for the coast lines; while recent travels have led to many material corrections in the interior. For the Ancient Series, the text of the old Geographers and Historians has been scrupulously compared with discoveries and hypotheses of modern writers. The pubRobers may safely challenge competition for the combined cheapness and elegance of this work.

There are also published, as distinct works, but of the same size, Six Maps of the Stars, laid down according to the gnomic projection, including all the Stars to the Sixth Magnitude, or such as can be seen with the naked eye. Price 3s.; or coloured, 68. And Six Maps of the World laid down on the same projection as the Maps of Stars, price 35. plain, and 4s. 6d. coloured: the two adequately supplying the place of a Celestial and Terrestrial Globe.

ARLY in the Season Mr. BROSTER purposes resuming Instructions in his ORIGINAL SYSTEM (ride Blackwood's Magazine,' Jan. 1825,) for REMOVING ALL IMPEDIMENTS OF SPEECH.

In the course of Mr. B.'s experience, in above three hundred cases, he has been enabled to discover an entirely new System of Elocution;' not founded on the hitherto usual art, but on the Tore POWERFUL PRINCIPLES OF NATURE; restoring the organs of Speech, however weak, so as to avoid, and completely overcome, the fatigues attendant on the duties of the Church, or the labours of the Bar, in extempore speaking.

So much has this System been approved by his friends and those distinguished members of society to whom it has been communicated, as to call forth their unqualified permission of reference; at the request of several of whom, this communication is inserted. For further particulars at present, inquire of Mr. T. Broster, Surgeon, 17, Queen's Buildings, Brompton; or to Mr. Broster, Brook Lodge, near Chester.

The safe and ample directions for using Beaufoy's Chlorides, are not applicable to any other preparations, unless precisely similar to those made in their Laboratory.

The public safety demands a public declaration that these Directions have been copied, and are affixed by the venders to Chlorides quite different in every essential particular from Beaufoy's preparations.

Beaufoy's genuine preparations according to Labarraque's formula, are easily distinguished by their peculiar Label upon the Wrapper, which should be examined to see that it has not been opened.

DRESSLER'S FLUTES.

C. BATES,

THEODORE to submit to the inspection and

approbation of his Friends, the Professors and Amateurs of the Flute, an assortment Manufactured under the immediate superintendence of the above eminent Professor.

The great and increasing popularity which the Flute has for a considerable period maintained, has been a stimulus with him to the production of an Instrument that comprises great correctness of Intonation, considerable Power, together with Equality, Mellowness, Flexibility, and peculiar richness of Tone.

The Manufacturer feels also confident, from the superior quality of his Materials, first-rate Workmanship, with the great additional advantage of Mr. Dressler's long experience on the Instrument, that the great and various requisites so necessary to a Good Flute, will be fully attained.

The numerous and important advantages arising from the superiority and extent of the Stock, to the improvement and perfection of which the sole attention of the Manufacturer has been devoted for the last twelve years; added to the instruments being throughout the whole process, under the superintendence of Mr. Dressler, will, it is confidently hoped, ensure to the Public that important desideratum-a Flute of very great and decided excellence, both as regards workmanship and tone.

On the 14th instant will be published,

HE PARLIAMENTARY REGISTER; a Digest of the Proceedings of the Legislature, and the Business of the Houses of Parliament. To be continued regularly every Saturday Evening during the Session. Elegantly printed on foolscap folio, to correspond with the Votes, the Mir ror of Parliament, and the Parliamentary Papers.

The object of this work is to condense and methodize the actual transactions of the Parliament, and to present at one view, at convenient periodical seasons, not the Debates, which is the Legislature in deliberation, but the Business, which is the Legislature in action.

The Register will describe and analyze the Contents of the Parliamentary Papers, or, at any rate, so distinguish their scope and utility, that they may be immediately made available to the purposes of even the busiest legislator.

It is also desirable that the novelties of Pending Bills should be introduced to the notice not only of the Member, but of the Public, and at less expense of labour than that of wading through the clauses of every measure proposed to the notice of the Legislature. This end will be answered by the Register: it will contain Analyses, or Notices of Bills pending, in such a form as to enable the reader to judge of the nature of them, and ascertain their extent or their peculiarities.

The entire work is intended to assist the labours of the Public Man, and in some respects supply the place of a Secretary, as well as farnish information to all persons who take an interest in the proceedings of the two Houses of Parliament, whether on political grounds or with a view to private business.

The Parliamentary Register will be arranged in Six Divisions. 1. Journal of the Proceedings of the Three Branches of the Legislature.

2. Digest of Business.

3. Progress of Legislation.

4. Calendar of Future Business.

5. Analysis of Bills pending.

6. Catalogue Raisonné of the Parliamentary Papers.

An ample fudex of the Contents of the Register will be published at the termination of each Session.

£. s. d. Subscription for the Session ... ****... 2 20 For Circulation by Post (with a Stamp).. 2 12 6 Occasional Supplements (without additional charge) will be given, as the pressure of business may require.

Subscriptions received by all Booksellers. Printed by W. Clowes, at his Printing Office, No. 14, Charing Cross, where Subscriptions (and Letters and other Communications for the Proprietor, post paid) will be received.

The numbers for the two weeks of the present Session preceding the Christmas Recess will be delivered to the Subscribers on the 14th of January, the Saturday immediately before the reassembling of Parliament. Fature Numbers will be delivered regularly every Saturday Evening.

"After a minute examination, the author of the present Manual considers this edition of the Greek Testament as the most valuable of any that has yet been published with critical and philological apparatus, especially for students who wish to purchase only ONE edition of the Greek Testament."-Horne's Introduction to the Bible.

"This Greek Testament with English Notes is a valuable accession to the aids of the undergraduates, the divinity student, and even the theologian. We cordially recommend it to our readers and those who wish to purchase only ONE comprehensive copy of the Greek Testament, and that not very expensive, will find in this edition the very object of their search."-Christian Remembrancer.

"This elegantly-executed volume is very correctly printed, and (which cannot but recommend it to students in preference to the incorrect Cambridge and Amsterdam reprints of the Vatican text) its price is so reasonable as to place it within the reach of almost every one."-Horne's Introduction to the Bible.
