Sib —The object of the present loiter Is to request oi sour ' kindness an answer in writing to the fallowing Questions . 1 ua . ve bees asked by a respectable gentle _, man the reel cause why I have been refused a pasB to Australia ; I never could ascertain the real oausomyself _, therefore I was unable to answer ; bim , and he _requMted me to make one more application , _personal , or by letter . Is It because I am an Irishman , or ia it because I am _forty-eig ht years of age , or Is it because my wife Is French , anil fhlr . _sy-six years of age , oris It because I

      have five children , the oldeBt seven and _nbalfyeari * of age the youngest fifteen months , or-Is it _beoausemy case ia a epedalone , and a refugee of France ? When I came to London on the 2 it . li of May last , with the full confidence of accomplishing this great object , I was told by one gentlemen that my easo , being a special one , required special protection ; by another , that I waa too oW'to another , _beoMisaI was an Irishman ' , by another my ' wife belog French , and my _obildrsn under ag »; by another to go to Ireland as being Irish myiel ' , I would be more likely to succeed there . Now , Sir , I went all the way to Dublin wit )? my family , for no other purpose er motive but tho above . _objeot _, and reot > lved the same aniwer , go I gof a memorial _Btgneilby the guardians of the Union Poorhouae ,- the mayor and corporation , mem .

      burs of Drogbeda , and thirty signatures of the most re . Bpectable gentlemen In the c » _uaiies , of Lonth _andMeatb _, and 1 was . reoommendpdby _. fhe Lord Lieutenant ' s under secretary , to _forwsrd it to your _respeotuble office , and thatit would suffice . Idid so , and waited five days for an answer , but none came , and my humble and limited meins would not ptrmlt me ' to atop any longer , bo I made an application to the British and Irish Steam Boat Company , for a free pass back to London ; it waa granted and rations Into the bargain . I lost bo time In calling at _theEmigration office , and had an interview with the ' secretary . He acknowledged the _reoelptof the document in question , but Tam tony to say he gave me _n-j flattering hopes nor a complete refusal ; I called next day at No . _lS _. PMk-sireet , and was told that I was too old , aad my family under age , aod by another gentlem ' an , that all the Irish are sent from Dablin . Kow , Sir , Ibeg leave to State that at tho end of May , and the

      beginning of June , I hove Seen and known hundreds of tha _refugets from _Eranbe tent to Australia , whose ages and farailiee were far more foreign frem the roles of emigre . ' tlori , than me ormy family _, end no letter than last week there was a family of , sixteen In depot from Lisle , not one of whom came within the bound of the emigration rules , nor was their , two oat ofthe sixteen that had any practical knowledge of any kind of industry whatever , that could be useful in the botany ; - 'Had I not seen and experienced all this , I sbevnld be very sorry to persevere or treepasii ' so long ai Ihave done , ! I was 'told at the beginning of June , that the £ 10 , 000 , granted , by the government , to send the Frenoh refugees te Australia , were expended , and if so may I take the liberty of-ashing under what conditions did the above sixteen ; get : a free passage !

No ; it was stated to be for British Bnb . _jacte taped out of France , I applied in due time , and made application the 26 th .- of May—not only _mjself _, but three hon . gentlemen , and not being able to ascortaio the real cause why 1 hive been refused , a free pass to Australia , seems - mysterious to meand others . Your last answer to me on the 81 st

      ult . wa » , that you could not spend the publio money by sending ha to Australio . This answer waa very foreign to the question , and far from being satisfactory . Per . mlt tne , sir to inform you ; tbat since I first made application I waa under an immense expense , with a small family ; acd what it haa cost ub since' tbe 2 S ; h of May would pay our expenses , or support ub . above one year at home , We have Bold our furniture and our clothes to purchase bread ; we are without home , without employment , and In debt whero we are lodging .

      CHOLBBA , JTS PRBYEXTION 4 » D , TBEATMENT . TO THB EDITO * O ? THK MOBHIS Q _BEaUD . Sib , —The sanitary _commlsaloners ih their second re . port , aa preiented to both Houses of Parliament , haring been pleased to speak highly of my evidence relative to the successful treatment of _oholsra , I am _induood , through the medium of your columns , to offer to the publio , In the spirit of that evidence , a _fow remarks _bb instruction * for the prevention and treatment of tbat disease ; and for sake of brevity I will make the following _classification j— . _ ..

      _jFirst . ' — Prevention . —I recommend comfortable' and nntritlons animal food of the solid hind , warm clothing , an attention to regular hours , free ventilation and clean . _Ihuss , also lime nothing tbe dwellings of < h « L poor . I advise abstinence from spirituous and fermented liquors , from ' all fruit and raw vegetables , from all salt fish and oysters the latter especially , from all excesses which debilitate the constitution , and above all things , I deprecate tbe use of strong purgative _modicinea , Seoond . . — Tht Early or Premonitory stage , and ils Treat-» nwl . —So far oa my observation extended in 1882 , I found tbat spasmodic cholera ( with few exceptions ) wag preceded by certain premonitory symptoms , of which _dfarrhxd dr purging was the most prominent , but which symptom was too often overlooked by the persons la .

      _bonrlng under the attack . It therefore becomes of vital importance , now , that we apprehend tbat cholera is taking the same route towards this country that it , did In 1832 , tbat every case of purging Which may occur should without loss of time be arrested in its progress ; for _sOj fully convinced am I ofthe benefits _resultlsg from a prompt attention to ., bowel complaints , that I believe thattheaotual _oholetloBjmptoniB may in the _eusjoilty of casta be thereby _pjevented ., The purging is for the most part accompanied by nausea arid a _dbposltlon to _vomlt _^ followed by a sense of weight and heat in'tbe sto . mach , _sHght'crampsin the bowels and legs , great weak . _nesB , diminished aotlon of the heart , and coldness ofthe _surfade of the body . It is most necessary to point ont to thepabllo , and . especially to the poor , such remedies

      for this , the early _swge , as are at their command , and at what period ' of the . disease tbey should be employed . When sickness _wltJS ¦' derangement of tbe bowels is Mt , _thepatleat , if an adult , should mix a tablespoonfnl of mustard , dr double that quanll'y of cemmen salt , in half a pint of warm water , a third part of either to . be taken every , ten minutes until free vomiting be produced . After the _stemach has been well cleared out with more warm water thirty drops of tincture of opium should be given in a glass of brandy and water , to be followed np with a pill composed of five grains of oalomel and two g ' r ' sins of opium for : an adult—small doses of these to be taken at intervals of every two hours until bile is . observed to pass in the evacuations . But in the event of _children being suddenly attacked with bowel complaints

      The Wages Op Wab. (From Tbe Pitteoureja ...

      THE WAGES OP WAB . ( From tbe _Pitteoureja Journal . ) It was a few days after the news of Buena Vista—the very day thatthe mall brought the official list of the killed and wounded—we were 8 , eated jn the office reading over t he names with a sad curiosity , seeking out those with which we were of old familiar . ' M'Gee we remembered well—a dashing , daring ,: artillery bflicer ; be was In the third when we knew him . But he married , left the ; service , and engaged in . business , and a t the opening of the war resumed tho epaulets as Colonel of o Ken . tacky . Volunteer _Regiment . Brave fellow ! none braver fell on that bloody field .

      . We wire sorrowfully enough engaged by _theie thoughts when a jouBfwpmBn entered tho office ,. When ' wa say joung _, we mean under thirty ; She had a small . girl , by the hand—a beautiful little creature , about three years old . ' . Both mother and child ( for suoh no one ; couid doubt tO ; be their relationship who observed their features , ) , were dressed with extreme neatness , though 'ill the little elegancies of _dcooration were bestowed upon the child . We just looked over the top of the paper to note these particulars , when having been direoted to ns by the olerk _,-she came forward to our desk _. We handed her a chair , and , while we endeavoured as well as we could to soothe her very apparent agitation , we were somewhat at a loss to-account for its existence .

      Alter a few minutes' conservation , wo discovered the reason in the / act that she was a relative tjf a soldier ; in ( . _ftptaln _ '« company of artillery . This corps had beea engaged , and ) we remembered , had suffered , very _severely .-. * She bad been ' informed that the list of killed and wounded bad arrived , and she had called to hear aome intelligence of his fate . : , ' She wl » bed ns to rend over the names , . We again took up the paper , and proceeded to comply with her request , We shall never forget the expression of that woman's features as we read . Her agony was terrible . She was not unhandsome * . ' but her face became ghastly pale , and her ey _: _s looked unutterable des . pair as she-fixed them npon the child , wbo was plajisg with a newspaper , and laughing Joyously in its ,-heedless Innooence . Her lips were colourless , the perspiration started on'h _« r forehead , and , as she lifted her hand to wipe the large drops away , we could see It trembling as though palsied . ,

      The presentiment of evil had already almost broken her heart , and we knew that the relative must be a very near one . ¦ , _) • ¦ She had avoided giving us ber name , and , so soon as we fonnd the list , appalling long , which comprised ; the casualties of tbe designated corps , we began to read . We did cot know when we would reach the fatal name , lit at all , and at each individual we . looked inquiringly in the woman ' s faoe . She said nothirg , however , for some time , and we began to hope that the name was not down , when we read—• John — -, sergeant , eiusd !' Such a scream 1 It was tbe wail of a broken heart , Only one—aad then as still bb death . That ory was ringing in our ears tor a month . We immediately , ran toward her , but she arose from her chair , motioned us her'thanks ; and'w ' thout a word left the ofiice . . We had read to htriht _onriounfleineiit of her Ausbahd ' s death . We did , net do much service in the office _thatday . ¦

      . The next morning , happening down . on the wharf , we saw tbe woman and her little girl going on board the _Clcolnnatl packet . ' She recognised us , and . we _. spoke t » her . - She was crushed _completely . She had grown twentyyearsolder _inasmany hours . She infornied us that she had resided nith her' husband In New York that ( be t » i originally . from the Weat _^ tmei , ok hl _» corns _belni ordered to _Maxlco , she determined to repair to her friends , and await theoencluslon , of the war .

      was coming , lt was a quarter past six by our clock ; she said she should not . I then went into tbe little _plantatlonby the wood house , and fetched a stick . I went back to the bouse , and asked Lucy if she would stop in the house . She said she should go _alon-r with Billy , Then I hit her ever ao many times on the head with the stick . She rolled down , I then / etched the bill from the corner against the pump , and bit her on tbe aim ever eo many times , I took hold of her body , asd moved her farther into the bouse , and laid her on the bricks , where she was found , I put the stool inside the house , and shut the door . I washed the bill in some water that was in a pail against tbe _pnmp , and wiped it oa a rag , which I burled into the plantation against tbe apple Use , I put the book whsre I took it irom , and threw tbe water on the potato ground , and pat tbe pail near the pamp , I

      threw the stick away ever so far down the hedge in _Surcoat-mead , It went into the hedge , One end is bloody , Tbe first person I saw afterwards was tha batcher , then Mrs Swot dor , then Mary _Wallii , Mary Smith , JohnBy _Wallis , and then mother . ' On the 29 th the head of the deceased was examined , and several shot * found in the brain .

      Railway : Accident . An Accident Of A Ve...

      RAILWAY : ACCIDENT . An accident of a very serious nature occurred on Saturday night , near the Newton roa _4 station , on the northern _dllsion of the London and _North-Western Railway . In consequence of tho express _traia from LL verpool being twenty minutes behind its time at Wolverhampton , it left that town at a more than usually rapid speed . The train consisted of the 'Colonel' engine , which is one _. of great power , a tender , three carriages , aad a luggage van , Tbe rate at whioh it proceeded oreated a tremor and oscillation in the carriages se great , that tbe passengers with difficulty were able to keep their seats , and , ultimately , about three hundred yards south of Newton bridge , tbe engine ran off the ' rails , and dashed against the embankment . The carriages , by the _oorictrssioB , were turned almost completely over , Borne ol them being prevented falling to the ground by tho telegraph and other posts . The luggage van was thrown

      completely on to tbe down line of rails . The engine embedded itself three feet deep in the embankment . It would , be _difficult to describe the scene which immediately followed . It . is stated that iu the centre compartment ef one ofthe carriages there was a party of fire gentlemen who were pitched against each other in tbe greatest consternation . Thty tried in vain to lower tho windows , and it was net until a Mr Smith , a whipmaker , commenced demolishing them , that he and his com . pinions extrloated themselves from the carriages . - Mr Shhard , an architect residing at Paddington , aad who , with two ladies , occupied one of the compartments of a carriage , narrowly escaped death , and is much injured . When tbe confusion bad somewhat subsided , and _bbsistance had arrived , Mr S uard was foun _* . lying under one of the carriages , so completely wedged In between the broken pieces tbat It was f jund Impossible to extricate him until tbe carriage was raised ,

      Shortly after tbe express engine ran off the line , a pilot engine , which had been sent from Birmingham to _aaoertain the cause of delay of ths express , made ' its appearance on the dowa line , and tbe driver , not being aware ot the accident , absolutely cut through the luggage van which lay on the fine , and having run along the earth upwards of one hundred _yards , fell into a ditch . Had the carriages in the express train , like the luggage van , been thrown on the down line , the loss of life mnst bave been frightful . Joyce , the driver ofthe pilot , and John * son , the stoker , were injured , and removed to their homes . The driver and stoker of the Colonel were also thrown from their engine ; bnt were not seriously hurt .

      So soon as the accident became known in the neighbourhood , prompt _assiatanoe was rendered by the inhabitants . Messrs Dickenson and Abercrombie _, surgeons of Westbromwicb , were indefatigable in their attentions , and the Earl of Dartmouth , who resides at Sand well Hall , in the neighbourhood of Newton bridge , on being informed of the acoldent , despatched a team of horses to assist ia removing tho engine and carriages . A train from Waliall having arrived tbe passengers were con . veyed to Birmingham . Mr _Shaard and Captain Beard , of Stirling , who it appeared had also beea severely shaken , were Conveyed to the Queen ' s Hotel . Mr Robineon , the _statien . maattr ; was unremitting in ' his attention to the _Bofferers . Upon examination , it waa found that Mr Shuard ' s left leg waa broken in two places ; and that he was suffering from internal injuries . Nose ' of the other passengers sustained any serious injuries , although aa a matter of course considerably frightened . The rsAU where tbe > BCoident occurred are said to have been muoh _damaged and broken up .
