In these interviews the Czar and his servants have protested their anx ious desire to preserve peace, but maintained in all points their interpretation of the Vienna vote. Count Nesselrode proclaims that it is love of peace that makes the Czar anxious to obtain a treaty of a sim• plicity not to be misinterpreted.

This vessel was one of the finest packets of the Dull n and Waterford Steam Navigation Company, trading he tween Ireland and Bristol.

This she ac complished, and was on her return voy axe from Liverpool to Waterford, when, while tiff the Wexford coast, she struck upon a rock, and went down almost immediately. It is gratifying to add that all hands were saved. CITY, Saturday Afternoon.—Consols opened at 93i to a but in consequence of the aspect of the Eastern question they tell to 03, sellers.

PLAIN ADVICES TO ALL DURING THE VISITATION OF THE CHOLERA. THE following excellent series of advices and injunc tions have been is,ued under the authority of the Board of Health : I. Conform to and assist every measure of prevention or remedy put in operation by the local authorities ; for such measures are founded ulx►n knowledge and experience, and are enforced by the direction of Government for the public good. If you sustain inconvenience. or apprehend danger, front any public. nuisance. immediately complain, either to your local board of health. your town council, or your board of guardians, as the ease way he, either of whom arc fully empoee►ed to enforce a remedy. 2.:lpply you►self. Its (SE SS lies in your power. to render the chief ditties of parochial and other public officera unneeessary, inasmuch as rega►tds your own home, by the instant removal of every nuisance about it and in it. . . . . 3. It is the special duty of the authorities at all times, but imperatively so now, to have all streets, alleys, and courts daily cleansed. But it is your duty to throw no refuse into the streets, nor to collect any in your back pre mines Have no dungheapa, no ashlicaps. Keep no pigs iu close places. Make the scavenger and the dustman take away whatever is annoying. Have no sloppy holes in your areas or back yards, but get them paved or levelled. Insist upon your landlord making your house water-tight. See that your windows will open and shut. so as to admit air and exclude :utast ure. Every epidemic. whether lever or cholera, rages amid dirt and damp, and where there are stinking kennels and open ditches, toul with dead animals and decayed vegetables. Avoid all such places to dwell in; and wake your children, when they go out, avoid all bad smelling places. 4. Look to the inside of your dwelling, as well as outside, to get rid of nuisances. Are the walls and ceilings dirty or tie:eddy? At the cost of a shilling or two they may be lime-whited. This has been found one of the most effec tual preventives of cholera. Avoid, if possible, crowding your sleeping-rooms. if there is a chimney in a bedroom. keep it open, and have no chimney-board, or chest of drawers, to atop it up. It would be to make a bole, three or four inches square, near r d ceiling. into the chimney—a very easy ventilator. Get pure air into your rooms by every possible means, and get rid of the foul air in the most effectual manner. If there is a constant offensive smell within your dwelling, which other people as Ai ell as yourself notice, be sure that there is danger at hand ; ana never rest till you have ascertained the cause, and have got it removed, as far as possible. Complain to the landlord ; if he neglects you, complain to those who have to enforce " The Nuisances Removal." If you cannot get the nuisance removed, you ought to prepare to remove from the nuisance. If you go to other lodgings or houses, go to those where there has been no fever. There are houses, with no fault of construction, that are always disagreeable to the senses. They are the abodes of sluttishness—the forerunner of disease. The person is seldom clean when a dwelling is dirty. Personal cleanliness and huua CK44/ILUCRS arc hal hvaLthliTcral awl ara of SATURDAY, vital importance when the elements of disease and death are around us. i. This advice, with regard to your dwelling, assumes that you live in a populous town ; hut the principles on which the advice is founded hold good whether you dwell iu a village, or even in a lone cottage•. AU places, it is to be feared, have their nuisances. If there is a dungheap at your threshold, remove it to a distance. if a foul ditch, or cesspool, stir yourself to have a change. If the pigsty is offensive, cleanse and wash it daily. Have no poultry or rabbits within doors. In a word, get dirt and damp away from your house and out of your house, and get pure air into it. lie clean yourself, and have everything clean about yeti. B. Having looked to your dwelling within and without, consider what is best tor your welfare as to food and cloth Mg. Whenever cholera is present in a locality there is a general tendency to irritation of bowels, and warm clothing and wholesome food arc more than ever necessary. These happily arc within the reach of the great body of the people. The extreme poor must be righteously cared for in these respects out of the abundance of the more fortu nate ; but all have in their power to avoid what is hurtful. Avoid cold ; but make yourself strong by exercise in the open air, it your employment is within doors. The same duty of exercise applies to all your family, male and female. If there is any loud or drink injurious at ordinary times, it is doubly injurious when there is pestilence in the at mosphere. he very careful not to drink impure water; and take heed that wells are not polluted, and that water butts and cisterns are kept cleansed. Spend less money on beer and other drinks, and spend more on flannel and coals. 7. Cholera is not so suddenly fatal as is supposed; it comes on with looseness or bowel complaint, which goes on for some hours, or even for a day or two. There is often no pain ; but no one must be put cff his guard by this cir cumstance, but must immediately, when purging comes on, apply for proper medicine, by which the disease is usually stopped. Where cholera is prevalent in a district, the neglect of this caution for a few hours may be fatal. Cholera is often brought on by improper diet. Tainted meat and fish, and damaged vegetables, should be carefully avoided. Cholera is often brought on by excess even of wholesome food. The greatest moderation should be practised both in meats and drinks, always avoiding long fasting. Ardent spirits should be taken only under medical advice: drunkards always suffer most. Cholera is often brought on by cold. Wet clothe', should be immediately changed ; the feet especially should be kept warm and dry. The most violent attacks often come on immediately after incautious exposure to damp foggy night air. s. If an attack, even the slightest, should come on in your household you must immediately apply for medical assistance. Amengements will be made in every locality to render such assistance promptly and effectually : there is no disease which can bu more readily met than cholera iu its first or premonitory stage. In cases of ciiarrhcea, or looseness of bowels, the following medicine is recom mended by the board, but avoid, if you can, exercising your own judgment in giving medicine at all : " Twenty grains of opiate confection, mixed with two table•spooniuls of peppermint-water, or with a little weak brandy and water, and repeated every three or four hours, or oftener if the attack is severe. Half the quantity to persons under fifteen ; smaller doses to children." O. If the disease W 4, 11111c a violent form before help can be obtained, put the sufferer into a warm bell, apply bottles of hot water or heated flannel to the stomach and feet, and along the spine. A dessert-spoonful of brandy may be given from time to time in hot water. Constant friction with flannel dipped in hot vinegar is recommended, as well as the application of a s iiiegar and mustard poultice over the belly. A prudent person will have the necessary arti cles at hand ; but promptitude in getting assistance is the first duty. liy 'light or by day send for the doctor ; and such is the zeal of the medical profession that the hum• blest person will not send in vain. 10. If any of the evil habits and neglects referred to in this advice exist in yourself or your family, begin to alter such habits and avoid such neglects without an hour's delay. The desired change to enable you to meet this epidemic disease is good fin- every other; and an immediate preparation may save n vast amount of misery. The con dition of the human body cannot be altered at once, but the practices which tend to an evil condition may be instantly changed. In days you may Cfleet a change which you cannot effect iu hours. 11. VI nether the disease of cholera come into your household or you be spared, keep up your spirita,have no vain fears, relax no industry, shrink not from assisting your neighbours, and put your trust in Him in whose hands are the issues of life and death. THE approaching reception of M. Berryer, as Member of the French Academy, is creating a cer tain sensation in the Legitimist circles in Paris. Yielding to some scruples of conscience, the Legiti mist orator hesitated to make the usual speech in which it is the custom to pronounce an enloFtium on the head of the Government. On the other hand, the dignitaries of the Academy remarked that thi: hesitation lasted rather too long, and that a delay do% years is sufficient to reconcile him to his task. 'I be friends of M. Berryer are pressing him to get rid of the obligation, and remark that M. Chateaubriand did not hesitate to present himself during the em pire, although blaming that form of government. M. Berryer has, it is said, consented to present himself• in December.
