There were twenty deaths registered at two o’clock on the 29th of October last, at Marseilles, of which four were from cholera. There were two deaths from cholera and no new cases, at La Seyne, near Toulon, on the 28th. On the same day there were four deaths at Arles, of which one was from cholera.

No fatal cases had been announced, however. lts appearance at Wool- wich is by some attributed to the putrid matter brought back from the southern outfall of the sewerage, which it was anticipated would have been effectually carried off, but which often lies on the surface of the ebb tide. The disease is rapidly declining at Madrid. A let- ter from Gibraltar (Oct. 2éth,) says: cholera here has slain ene in every 35 of the inhabitants, in three months. Of the garrison, 70 have fallen, together with some 69 of the convicts. Although the majority of cases, and indeed all those who were first attacked, were of the lower orders and persons whose habits of life and feeble state of health rendered them a ready prey to disease, the list includes many Tespectable people ofregularand steady habits, whose subjection to the fatal spell eannot be explained. The conduct of the clergy of all denominations, and of the medical men, has been admirable, and the exertions of the Relief Committee most praiseworth: The cholera is reported in London. Registrar General, in his official report, an- nounces four fatal cases. At Southampton there had been three more deaths. Times Adds: “There is at the present time in London a greater amount of fatal diarrhea than has been usually found to prevail at the end of October.” The pestilence is on the increase in Paris.

There is no disposition ontside of the cliquesto venture upon operations, and the heavy load carried by some of the bull opera- tors compels them to realize, which can be done only upon a free concession. There is, however, great financial strength among the bulls, and it is quite likely they will engineer two or three more spasmodic adyances before the meeting of Congress, which is regarded on all sides as the limits beyond which present prices cannot be successfully maintained.

Mr. Noyes said he was in favor of cleaning the AP oy and mouths of the sewers, but heard the last of those humbug flood-gates. The latter had not proved of any value whatever, and even if effective they would only remove the sediment from one place to deposit it at another, where it was quite as objectionable. Mr. Turton contended that the use of the gates had carried out of the canal all fiuid matter, and if properly taken care of by the eh seat would answer the purpose re- qu . Mr. McCathran called the attention of the committee to the condition of the canal south of Marylandavenue. The barrier erected at that point by the flood-gates had caused a great ac- cumulation of mud in the canal north of that point, and it was time that something was done to remove it. The Chair, (Mr. T. E. Lieyd,) said that it was @ useless expenditure of mae 4 to be laboring at the canal after this sort. Thousands and tens of thousands of dollars had already been spent, and if this appropriation was made, it would go the way of previous sums spent for the improvemeni of the canal. The flood-gates had not been one particle of benefit, In the resolution adopted a short time before, the At- torney of the Corporation had been on for his opinion concerning the authority of the Corporation over the canal. He (the Chair) believed the only way to abate the nuisance was by putting it in the bands of 4 private as. sociation, He would not hesitate a moment if had the power, to place the ca. nal in the hands of private parties for ten years or more. The city once had a mud-ma- chine, re. which it cleaned out the canal two or LOCAL NEWS. | le Mr. Noyes said there were assurances that Congress would unite with thorough abatement of the canal nuisance. Prominent Government fon themeelves decidedly in favor of affording such co-o) by the Gow on the ‘ound that the canal sewer must ueed ‘gely for the sew of Government build- ings, and because it is absolutely that the malarial nuisance south of the Pres dent's Honse should be abated in connection With the improvement of the canal. Congress Would sit ina month, and in the mean time any Money spent on flood-gates and such tem- porary expediente would be oy Aen away. He moved to strike out the gates and make the appropriation $5,000. Mr. Lewis said there were no cess-pools in the sewers emptying into the north side of the canal, and those on the south side were filled up with mud, and the gates carried off. After some further discussion the amend- Ments striking out all relating to food-gates, and erga | aah pe ge to $5,000, were adopted, and the passed. Adjourned.

Mr. Merrell offered the following, and gave notice that he would move itas a substitate to the bill pending: Be it resolved by the Board Aldermen, c., That the joint committee attending the interest ofthis Corporation before Congress, be and they are hereby instructed, if necessary, to urge upon Congress the impropriety of passing a negro suffrage bill, allowing negroes to vote at the municipal elections of this city without first submitting the question to the legal yoters of said city for their ratification or rejection.

(By the repeal of this law, hogs, goats, &e., can be taken up and carried to the poor house as formerly.—Rep.] On motion of ‘Mr. Ferguson, the report of the special committee on negro suffrage was taken up. Nar. Wright moved to lay Mr. Hall's substi- tute on the table. Mr. Hall’s substitute declares that the Cor- poration has no power to prevent or secure the elective franchise to any class since the Consti- tution gives Congress full poweron the sub- ag that the Councils are not opposed to grant- ing the right of suffrage to colored men, simply because they are colored men, but believe the elective iranchise should only be granted to mem who can read and write, “or to all who sed certain mental, moral, or such other qualifications as might be determined by an en- lightenea public judgment, without regard to color,” in the language of President Johnson; that it would be wicked and unjust to deprive those colored men, who haye periled their lives in defense of the country, any of the attributes of citizenship; that they are neither in favor of elevating or oppressing the colored man, but are in favor of giving & fair chance to live; ten- der the thanks of the Corporation to those col- ored men who filled the cities quota; that the orpbans and widows, without regard to color, deserve aid. Mr. White hoped that although there was a Majority opposed to the Union party, that there would be no crowding out. Mr. Hamilton called Mr. White to order, and asked him what he meant by the Union party. He was tired of hearing so much about the Union party from gentlemen who had shown £0 little of crete pies Mr. White disclaimed any personal allusion; be wanted the substitute of Mr. Hall discussed, and did not want any crowding out. The Union men of ail parties would see justice done tothe black man, and it should be the policy of the board to protecthim. The black man should be allowed to enjoy his property and be protected in his rights and liberty. As regards negro suffrage, be did not think that there were twenty men in both Houses of Oon- gress who advocated negro suffrage. This measure emanated from the miscalled demo- cratic party. Mr. m objected to politics being brought in. Mr. White agked for what purpoee, if it was not for polit! pu Ubat the measure Was brought into the . He for one could not distrust what Congress intended to do on the subject. Mr. Peugh eaid that the duty of pre the report devolved upon him, amd he remar! that it was a well-known fact that such a bill was to be introdaced du: this Congress. The resolution said nothing at enfran. the colored men one way or another. but simply proposed to give authority tothe Mayor in cer- tain contingencies to order a special election. Mr. Mead moved the previous question on Mr. Herrel’s amendment, and it was rejected. Mr. White's substitute declaring that it is not the interest of the corporation to anticipate the action of Con, in the matter, and express- ing their confidence in the wisdom and patriot- ism of the Congress about to assemble, and are willing to leave to their wisdom and judgment the «nm and every other question, was re- jeeted—Meesrs. Fergueon and White voting in the affirmative. Mr. Hall’s amendment was rejected, the Mover being the only one in the affirmative. The previous question on the resolution re- ported by the committee was called, and the re- solation was adopted—yeas: 14; nays, Messrs, Hall and White. The resolution is as follows: Resolved, That in the event that any bill be introduced in Congress for the admission of the colored man of this -: +o the right of enffrage. the Mayor be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to call Councils together within two days’ notice, for the purpose of taking into con- sideration measures for holding a special elec- tion to ascertain the sentiments of the people on the subject. Mr. Ferguson explained that he voted for Mr. White's substitute because he would vote for anything in preference to the substitute of Mr. Hall. Mr. Hall ssid he did notsee why he should be to; he knew the ground he had taken, and had taken it deliberately. Mr. White moved to take up the Aldermens” bill for opening 6th street across the mall, which was agreed to. Mr. Wright urged its and — os this bill be wag tT.
