The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday Were setimated at 7,000 bales, including 1,000 American taken for export._ The market was steady, but closed :without spirit at previous. rates: The •sales comprised 4,500.

Railway Shares were firm, and prices had an upward-tendency. - The continued prevalence of contrary winds keeps out a large number of vessels that are in the Channel, and among them are supposed to be seve ral from Australia. The accounts received from the United States, and delivered in part this morning, are so eclu sively occupied with the " drought" question that the money-market does not receive in many of the journals the customary attention. At the latest date, however, the 29th ult., there was greater ease, and the New York Banks had increased their specie without too violently contracting their loans, At New Orleans likewise, there was more Confidence, the Price Current, of the 20th ult., statz: ng :_- " Since the date of the last report but a very moderate amount of business has been transacted in exchanges. The demand has been very limited for all descriptions, though at the same time we would observe that the offerings have been exceedingly light. r 1 lie on Englacd are only sought after for remittances, as the rates claimed are altogether too high for exchange purposes.

It was designed and finished expressly to give eclat to the Anglo-French fetes, which were expected to take place about this tune to cele brate the cordial union of the two countries, and con sists of three balloons, differing much in form and size, but distinctly carrying out v, hat the artist wished t t o convey—viz., the efforts France and Eng land are conjointly snaking to preserve the balance of power in Europe. The centre balloon is termed the Universe, and is a very beautiful one of the usual shape. The two supporters or attendants are colossal emble matic representations of England and France in a repos ing attitude as Justice and Plenty. The car which is suf ficiently roomy to hold six persons, is placed in time centre, and from its position is calculated to give greater confitlemice to a timid amateur, and also increase the comfort of the more courageous adventurer. The inflation of this very curious triune machine was a matter of very great interest, and it really cou'd not be said to be time illspenttu recline, in this delightful weather, under the.shade of the beautiful trees at Cremoroe, an-1 witness the gradual develop ment of the French artist's praiseworthy efforts. The ascent was one of the finest we ever saw, and so calm was the evenitig, that for three-quarters of an hour the balloon could be distinctly seen by the very numerous company who complimeuted Moos. Hilleard by their presence at the gardens. Thursday evening the second display will be made. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday an in, quest was held by Mr. Langhain, deputy confiner, at the Ship. Millbank street, Westminster, on the body of Edward Burnett, aged 13, son of the clerk of the works, to the Horse Guards, who was drowned on Friday last in the river Thames. Deceased was 'a chorister at the Canterbury Hall, Lambeth, and, in company with three other youths, had hired boats and gone up the river as far as the Suspension-bridge at Chelsea. Ou their re turn the tide was running strong, and deceased, who was an indifferent rower, ran his boat against a barge moored in the middle of the river, whereby the boat was over• turned and deceased was drowned. His companions swam to the boat, and contrived to stride across until taken off by time other lads who were in the second boat. The jury having recommended that persons so young as the parties in this instauce were should not be entrusted with boats without some qualified person accompanied them to.warn them of su s s danger, returned a verdict of "Accidentally drowned.

The ceremony of turning the first sod for the Inverness and Nairn Railway works will take place on Thursday, the 21st inst. The Countess of Seafield was requested to take the principal part in the ceremony —to inaugurate railway works in the Highlands of Scotland—and •at once :cnnsented. We understand that. the magistrates. ,and" town eoun . cil,. the trades_ of other corporate bodies, propose to be present at the interesting cereindriy. The festivities of the Northern Meeting take place on the same day. The ceremony will take place in• the_ immediate neighbourhood of the town, and will be so arranged as not to interfere, with the usual sports and amusements of the first afternoon of the Northern Meeting. Several gentlemen belonging to Inverness, who have taken a very active interest in the success of the Inver ness and Nairn Railway, have lately vie:ted Morayshire with they view of inciting that prosperous and enterprising county to take initiative measures for extending the In verness and Nairn Railway at least as far as Pgin. The distance ie only about 20 miles, the country is level, and should require no expensive cuttings or embankments.; the proprietors . are as liberal and publio-spirited as any in Scotland, and the pecuniary means'and traffic of the district are quite equal to the formation and support of a suitable line of railway. It has been resolved, we understand, to dispose of the houses and lands belonging to the Crown at Fort Au gustus. They are not valuable. but are expected to realise about 3,oool.—lnverness Courier. IRISH SOUTH-EASTERN. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday, at Dublin; Mr. John Edward Redmond in the chair. The directors' report showed that the gross receipts for the half-year ending June 30, 1854, amounted to 5,5581., and the corresponding period of 1853 to 4,8081. ; increase, 7501. The annual returns for the same date were:—Year ending June 30, 1851—passengers, 47,040 ; total receipts, 5,9761. 1852—Passengers, 52,602 ; total receipts, 8,4191. 1853—Passengers, 60,850 ; total re ceipts, 9,8631. 1854—Passengers, 71,064 ; total re ceipts, 11,9341. The balance-sheet showed an available surplus of 2,1941., outof which the directors recommend that a dividend be declared on the paid-up capital at the rate of 2s. per share, and that the balance, after payment of the same, amounting to about 3501., be carried to the credit of the current half-year. The permanent way and works continue in good order. The bill for B ignalstown and Wexford Railway has received the Royal assent, and, in pursuance of its provisions, the present meeting was made special, to enable this company to subscribe to and hold shares in the undertaking to an amount not exceeding the sum of 50,0001. After some discussion, the report was adopted, and the meeting separated. SCOTTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION..---It is stated that, at the ensuing half yearly ineeting of the shareholers of this company a dividend of 31 per ceut. will be declared.— Glasgezosbonstitutional. SCOTTISH CENTRAL.—It is reported that a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent, will be declared at the meetinu of shareholders of the Scottish Central Railway Company on the 19th September inst.

The pioneer steamer of the new Canadian line of screw steamers, constructed expressly for the trade front Liverpool to the River St. Lawrence, arrived in th, Mersey on Saturday morning from the Clyde, where slit had been built by Messrs. William Denny and Brothers, making the run from Greenock in 131 hours, coming; round the Calf of Man. Her engines, which had not been previously tried, made fifty revolutions on a pres sure of 101bs. The vessel was so light that the screw Was half out of the water, so that what was gained lightness of draught was lost lost in power of propulsion. The Canadian is constructed to carry 68 cabin passengers. The state-rooms, which are models of elegance and com fort, .contain every convenience of life on board ship, from luxurious velvet-cushioned sofas and strong berths tastefully curtained, to mirrors, patent lamps, and wash hand basins. They are each 7 feet 3 inches in length and 8 feet 6 inches in breadth, fitted up with two berths 2 feet wide. The saloon, which is an apartment of sur passing beauty, 53 feet in length, is heated by steam. The style of carving is the old cathedral ; and nothing could have been more finely adapted to give the great length of the saloon its full effect than the plainly arched roof and unobrsusive panelling which belong to this style. The light in tlus magnificent room is excellent, being admitted from the end of the cupola by four pan& panes of stained glass, the work of Messrs. Ballantine and Allan, Edinburgh. The ladies' cabin, which is to the right of the saloon on going out, contains fourteen berths, and is everything that could be desired for pri vary and comfort. This cabin is also heated by steam. Before ascending to the deck again we are conducted to the steward's pantry, a splendid room, 18 feet by 8, superbly garnished with silver pl.tte of all dimensions and crystal of every imaginable cut. The cookini. range has been fitted up in the most complete style and on the most improved principles. Oil deck, also, them are two large ice -houses, 12 feet long each by 7 deer and Gin breadth, aed a respectable coChouse. The-fore cabin is admirably fitted up. There are 280 berths in all, disposed in two single ranges along the sides, and one double range in the centre of the ship. Air and light are abundant, and there is no lack of space to promenade when the deck would be a doubtful scene for bodily exercise. About a ninth part of the whole num ber of berths are boxed off from the rest for the use of unmarried females. There are also two hospitals for the use of steerage passengers, one for males and the ether for females. The machinery of the Canadian is on a sosle commensurate with her size. She is fitted with a pi►ir of direct-acting engines, cylinders 62 inches die meter, 31 feet stroke. They are immensely strong, and are expected to make upwards of fifty revolutions per minute. The boilers are two in number, fire at both ends, have brass tubes, and are constructed to give an ample supply of steam. The propeller is 16 feet in dia meter, and of 25 feet pitch. The Canadian is full barque rigged, and has a very handsome appearance.— Liverpool Albion. • EXPEDITION TO CENTRAL .AFRICA. Further communications have been received from Dr. Barth, from Timbuktu, giving an account of his pro tracted sojourn at that dangerous place. The date of the present letters is two months more recent than that of the first letters despatched thence. They reach up tc the 15th December last. Tbey contain the gratifying news that this indefatigable and courageous traveller hat' regained Lis full health and strength. He writes that he would have quitted Timbuktu long ago (a plac, where his life was greatly exposed to the effects of sir unfavourable climate, and much more so to the danger, arising from the hostile disposition towards Christians of the most fanatical Mohammedan population of Northern Africa), were it not that he would have before him certain death, and share the fate of the unfortunate Major Laing, if he left Timbuktu without sufficient pro tection. The murder of that excellent officers was insti gated by the Fullan (or Fellahas) of Hanad-Allahi, tribe living south-west from Timbuktu ' the seine fac tion that is so much opposed to Dr. Barth. nes, lianid-Allahi Fullan had regived from their chief tilt most peremptory order to effect the capture of the tea yeller, and bring him to his head-quarters, whether dead or alive, for they had expressed their disbelief in the pretended character of Dr. 'Barth being an ambassador from Stamboul ; and they had demanded , all his papers, to ascertain whether they substan tiated what the Sheikh el Bakay had caused the great mass of the people to believe. Hitherto their hos. tility has availed nothing, owing to the protection of the Sheikh el Bakay, and to the enereetic bearing as well ns the unceasing watchfulness of Dr. Barth himself. Unhappily, the renowned Sheikh has no military power of any kind, his authority consisting solely of an exten sive spiritual influence over a great portion of the Western Sudan. Dr. Barth, therefore, and his owl , small retinue, are almost at all tunes well armed, and ready to resist effectively any sudden attack. It is . greatly to be regretted that Dr. Barth is not in pos session of a letter from the "Sultan of Stamboul," inas much as he states most emphatically that he would thee not be in the least molested by any of the Mohammedan inhabitants. He hoped, however, to be able to depart from Timbuktu by the close of the year, and thus be freed from a situation which must at once be highly de trimental to mind and body. While preparing the pre sent letter, Dr. Barth had the great joy to receive Anal). the mighty chief of the Tingeregif, a Tuaric tribe, inha biting the regions east of Timbuktu, along the Kowera, or Isa B a ilde, as it is more properly called there. That lung-expected chief came, on the bidding of El Bakay, as the tr a veller's protector, with a welcome escort of 100 horsemen, to see him safe'y through his dominions, on his way back to S ikatu. The news of Dr. Vogel hav ing been despatched from Europe to join him had als. reached Timbuktu, and given him the utmost delight Dr. Barth had collected a great mass of information an, drawn up various maps, of both which he has sent small but valuable portion on this occasion. There i• no further news from the party under Dr. Vogel, bui ample communications may be expected in the course of the present month.— Communicated to the Athenmum by Mr. A. Petermann. •••01.........•••••.•••••=1.1= RODEN.—The letters from Rouen mention that the market for manufactures was less active, but that no great alteration had occurred. DEPARTURES FROM THE PORT of LONDON.--The de partures for the Australian colonies during the past week have comprised 10 vessels—three to, Sydney, with an ag gregate burden of 1,809 tons; two to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 1,499 tons; two to Adelaide, with an a megate burden of 1,298 tons ; one to Hobart Town, of 358 tons; one to Launceston, of 292 tons; and one to Port Fairy, of 258 tons. Their total capacity was, consequently, 5,514 tons. The rates of lreiL;lit ex hibit no great alteration, but ill some cases they are NI, Cher firmer. THE CHOLERA. THE METROPOLIS.—There are strong grounds for entertaining the hope that the pestilence has done its Worst, a-id that it is passing away from amongst us ' There is scarcely a parish in or near London which has not been visited by the disease ; and although the mortality occasioned by it has fallen very - far short of that, which. the metropolis experinced from the - same cause In 1849, the ravages it has committed are frightful to contemplate, and ought to convey* a very solemn lesson on many matters which have hitherto received but little attention. The establishment of an efficient board of health, renewed energy on part _of the Commissioners of Sewers, and the strong de termination of local boards and parochial authorities not only to suggest and recommend, but to enforce, habits of cleanliness in their respective districts, are linongst the means to which we may look with confi dence for- preventing in future the approach of a v plague', ms whichl localities experience e w n cheers: eirntrl%tospteecaicahllyuserfi,enodusrangio:ti. t ir hrh h iaeu e tm f :p i h t d e hev t ei - dcl l ie l l beena ao s jovoferriptyi os op o yfe f i.r t eic e yta n i - tia a dve,de in w b hbm u iece t ehdn i i n :ta a ihi y l eopsbere, cholerare te has(l, has been disregarded, or where persons have practitioner leas in the highly-dangerous practice of doctoring them selves. ST. BOTOLPII, ALDOATE WITHOUT. —Yesterday morn• ing, Mr. Jo P hu J. H arr i s , t h e registrar of St. Botol I , Aldgate Without, re ce i ve d i nformation of the follow ing fatal cases of Asiatic cholera :—Mary Schlescher, aped 33 years, and her infant daughter, died at 26, Lower East Smithfield, after a brief attack • Margaret liaggarty, aged 35 years, of No. 4, Christopher court, Rosemary-lane —the deceased was the wife of a labourer employed in the London Docks ; Peter Ryan, aged 24 years, a sugar-baker,. of No. 5, Duck street, Leman-street ; Jane Regan, aged 53 years, the widow of a mechanic—the deceased died, after a short illness, at No. 5, Windmill-court, Rosemary -lane ; John Barrett, aged 50 years, a fireman recently em ployed on board the Royal Adelaide steam-packet, Iron gate-wharf, adjoining the Tower of London. Elizabeth Gordon, aged 23 years, a charwoman, of No. 29, Royal Mint-street, died suddenly from the same disease. A respectable tradesman, named Edmund Dowling, an , :ctensive freeholder and grocer, of No. 30, King-street, Tower-hill, expired yesterday morning from an attack of cholera. A young woman died on Sunday from cholera, at No. 6, Three King court, Minories. A tradesman named Hadlow, of Jury-street; Aldgate, fell a victim to the epidemic, after a short illness on the same day. Another male person, named Cross, lately residing at 49; Minories, died on Saturday from the disease, and was buried on Sunday at the Victoria-park Cemetery. Great complaints were made yesterday among the poor residing in Peter's-court, Rosemary-lane, relative to the deficiency of water, which is dipped from the gutters for household use. It appears that the landlord has neglected to.furnish the houses with proper convenience for the supply of water, which was formerly supplied by the New River Company, but for some time past the pre mises have been without it. A general meeting of the guardians will be held on Wednesday evening at the vestry-room, Upper East Smithfield. ST. JAMES'S, WESTMINSTER.—NO deaths were re ported to have taken place yesterday in the Wardeur street and Golden-square districts of this parish, where the disease has raged with so much severity. On Sun day no deaths occurred, as far as we have been able to ascertain ; but it was a melancholy day, on account of the number of funerals which took place. ST. MARYLEBONE.—The number of deaths for the week was 11. There was an enormous increase of diarrhoea over the past. week, but the proportion of cho lera is small. ST. SAVIOUR'S UNION AND CHRIST CHURCH DISTRICTS. —The mortality from Asiatic cholera in St. Saviour's awl Cliiist Church for the week ending Saturday was as excessive as the previous week, but it is to be observed hat those weeks have been the heaviest yet experienced. The number of deaths amounted to 81 ; 56 in St. Sa viour's and 25 in Christ Church, the heaviest visitation that parish has experienced. In the New-cut two persons died yesterday morning, also 'another person in York-street. The disease is not confined to any precise locality; and a remarkable instance is stated that in one house in the Blackfriars-road, on the occa sion of the epidemic in 1849, the occupier and his wife Ooth died, and the same fact has taken place on the pre. cent occasion. There are a very great many cases of tliarrlicea, but owing to the activity of the medical offi cers, and the steps taken by the board of guardians, by arrangements with the medical men in every district to supply medicines gratis, it is found that the inhabitants have become aware of the importance, on any unfavour able attack, of making immediate application for relief, the omission of which has caused the increase of cases :that have turned out fatal. ST. MART, NEWINGTON—ST. PETER'S, WALSWORTH DISTRICT.—In Hill-street there were four very bad cases rn Sunday, one of which terminated fatally to a fine little fellow about eight years of age, of the name of William Hazard, son of - Mr. Hazard, No. 11 in that street. At Nos. 1 and 2, Hope Cottages,•two females were attacked, and no hopes are entertained of their recovery. _ THE ROYAL FREE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday two more deaths from Asiatic cholera occurred in the cholera wards of this hospital ; one of the sufferers having only been removed but a short time previously from Islington. The courts and alleys of this parish have, owing to the lefective drainage, suffered very severely, and hardly a day has passed since the outbreak of the epidemic but a case ofebolers, has been reported. The sitting magistrate •at Marlborough-street police •nurt. Mr. Bingham, yesterday received the following note : " Dear Sir,—Whon the first grief and stupor which ;oust- have attended the horrible calamities in the neigh bourhood of Golden-square shall have moderated, I have uo doubt that many pour creatures will apply at your office for aid to meet the distress caused by funeral ex ',ernes, however small, and the cessation of custom in their little shops. To enable you to meet some of those cases, it you will with your usual kindness and humanity oblige me by doing'so, I enclose a small sum, which I heartily wish I had the power of making greater, and if you will do me the favour to acknowledge its receipt in the daily papers as a contribution in aid of the sufferers in the neighbourhood of Golden-square from ' P.', I shall bo very thankful. Dear sir,. faithfully, P." Enc'osure,. a bOl. Bank. of England note. A cheque for 3/. has been received from " M," on be half of the dispensary in Gerard-street, Soho. GLOUCESTER.—It is with regret that we have to an• t ounce that Gloucester is now visited by that much treaded and pestilential epidemic, Asiatic cholera. As yet it has net been productive of any very serious con quences—two deaths only having occurred, while about tive or six cases have come under successful medical treatment. beuTLAND.—Only one new case of cholera has oc ,Jurred in Edinburgh since Tuesday, but two of those previously reported have proved fatal. In Glasgow within these few days there has been a considerable liminution in the number of cases, although the mor ality tables for the month of August show the burials from cholera to have been 1,023, the total number of deaths 'ieing 2,288. The average monthly mortality is under 1,000. The Greenock mortality bill for August gives L') leaths from cholera. The ravages of the malady have been very severe in Campsie and Kirkintilloch. In the former village, which contains a population of 3,000, there have been, in the course of four or five weeks, about sixta leaths, while in the latter, which contains about 8,00 . 0 Inhabitants, there have been, since Wednesday fortnight, between 40 and 50, and very few recoveries. In Ayr there have been stray fatal cases of severe diarrhoea, ter urinating in decided cholera, for several months, and of late a few cases of cholera of unmistakeable Asiatic type; 'mit these have not been numerous enough to create any zeneral alarm. The disease has made its appearance in different parts of the county of Argyll. At Oben there cave been three deaths from the epidemic ; at Furnace, 'near Inverary, four ; at East Tarbet, four ; and at Ar lrishaig, one, if not two, deaths. Since its appearance 'n Dumfries, about a fortnight ago, there have been 9 eases and 4 deaths. The official report for Perth, from .he outbreak of the epidemic six or eight weeks ago, up to Wednesday, gives 55 cases and 21 deaths.

TREATMENT OF CHOLERA BY CASTOR OIL. ,thKing's ilf, olera by castor oil in College Hospta , The following letter, on the new treatment o ilag been addressed to us by Dr. George Johnson : " Sir,—l shall feel obliged if you will p erm it me to male alt.. the means of publishing the your journal King's College Hospital, in the treat ment of cholera by castor oil. results of our re: I have no desire to r us h hastily into print, to deal in therapeutical novelti es ; ny own inclination wou ld or lead me to collect facts no w , an d to defer the publication of results to a time of more leisure Ind less anxiety; but I cannot reconci le myself to the ..doption of this cautious mode of procedure wh en I con- ide r that cholera is daily sweeping off hundreds of vi c ti ms, :lnd therefore that any method of treatment which pro •nises a more thau ordinary amount of success ought as speedily possible to be made known. Y althecases of cholera which have come un d er my e, A ~:are in the hospital have been treated by castor oil, a,l ninistered in a mode which I shall pre sen tl y exp l a i n. We h a ve called no case ' cholera' which has not presented well marked symptoms of collapse. Fifteen of these cases, most of them in the very extremity of collapse,* have been under treatment, and the result has been 12 recoveries and three deaths. One of the fatal cases was a child, six years ,f age, who died half an hour after admission, in conse ;queue°, as I believe, of a large dose of brandy which had ,eel, previously administered by its mother. In a second i'atal ease the oil had been given for some hours, and the : ettient was rallying, when the oil was discontinued in :onsequenco of the intestinal discharges r,ppearing to be inked with blood. I was absent when this case occurred, md, although I impute no blame, yet I think that with he discontinuance of the oil the patient's chance of re covery was taken away. In the third fatal case, a night nurse disregarded her instructions, and v, e • have goo d red son for the belief that during several hours the patient had very little, if any, of the medicine. Admitting, how ever, that the fatal result in these three cases was inevita ble, the propprtion of recoveries yet remains fourth-fifths of the whole. The number of cases is small, but my hopes from thiS plan of treatment do not rest merely upon my own individual experience. I have carefully studied the results of the v ar i ous mo d es o f treating cholera w hi c h have been advocated an d prac ti se d by different members o profession, and I have arriv e d a t th e conclusion that _f our - those method s of treatment which have been attendedwitnhattine v: largest am oun t o f success h ave b een essentiailyel,i rea ml tineut in their t en d ency. I a ll u d e espec i a ll y t o the saline t of Dr. Stevens, the treatment by small of calo me l, as p rac ti se d by D r . Ayre, an d nd repeated largest amount of treatm e nt.

Stevens as that of ads ding one poison to another. For, what reasonable Txpla• ' nation can we suggest for the phenomena of cholera except this,—that some mysterious poison enters the blvd, which, while it exerts a powerful depressing and narcotics influence on the entire nervous system, in most cases cx. cites a copious secretion into the stomach and intestines, Whereby the poison is separated from the blood, and thus ejected from the body ? And if this be the rational patho logy of cholera, what treatment is so likely to be injurious as that which attempts by narcotics and astringents to arrest the discharges What procedure so full of promise as. that which has for its object to favour aid assist the elimination of the poison "I have not time, even if you could afford me the space, to detail the numerous facts and arguments which favour that view of the pathology and the treatment of cholera which I advocate. I may, however, remark in passing, that there is no relation between the degree of collapse and the amount of fluid which is lost by purging; that in many cases there is.rather an inverse ratio between the collapse and the diarrhoea, and that the former often decreases and 'llisappenrs - while the latter continues with unabated ra- " Assuming, therefore, that it is desirable to encourage rather than to suppress the diarrhoea, the agent best adaptedto accomplish this resultappears to be castor oil, the mildest, least irritating, and yet withal the quickest pur gative which we possess. Our plan has been to give the oil in doses of half an ounce every half hour, and to con tinue these doses until the bowels are freely acted on, when we give it at longerintervals, and discontinue it altogether as soon as reaction is fairly established. It is usually given in cold water. A patient with a cold tongue has not a very delicate sense of taste, and we _h t avehadno I difficulty in administering the medicine. somet imes dello° that th e e ff or t o f vomiting is beneficial, that excites vomiting, and we have had such decided en we are rather gratified than otherwise with this re sult. In every case we give cold water ad libitum. We put mustard poultices over the stomach to relieve the pain which i s usually complained of in that s i tuat i on ; we apply dry h ea t to the cold extremities, and fr i c ti on t o th e cramped muscl es ; we m os t care fully avoid opium and brandy until th e period of collapse is safely past ; and we have not a s y e t h ad one case of secondary fever. It may be well to o b serve that the success of the plan depends upon a steady, persevering, watchf u l a tt e ntion to every :h a a l s t . h e n h e as li d m o s n t e b a e ll g t u h i a te t i s s u r r e o q t u h i a r t e i w s h case, at every p er i o d of its progress . sei Let no one imagine nurse to give half an ounce of castor oil at certain inter " I must n o t om it t o mention that carried out. do o n r e 0 h e t e oi ro h n a ts s w o ao r r d e o e f r f e uo d l a yr patients have been rescued from an almost fatal lethargy on t)y an emetic o f mus t ar d an d salt, and that in one the addition of two d rac h ms o f o il of turpentine to castor oil appear e d t o ac t as a wholesome stimula nto ca d s o u s f during the stage of icy cold ness . A s t o t h e quantity of castor oil which may be given with impunity, I may state that more than one patient has had as much us a pint in the course of 48 hours, and that in sev era l cases i n which, withz. treme collapse, there has been a torpid condition of the bowels, we have given the oil in doses of a full ounce. "And now a few words as to the treatment of epidemic diarrhoea, characterised by vomiting, purging, and cramp. There appears little reason to doubt that the unaided efforts of nature will suffice for the cure of by far the greater number of these cases, and that it is a matter of comparative indifference whether the patient is dosed with sulphuric acid or with carbonate of soda, except that the sulphuric acid in large doses must irritate the mucous membrane, and thus act as an aperient. I am per suaded, however, that the plan of attempting to check these excretory efforts by opium and astringents is as hazardous as it is unreasonable; and I trust that the time is not far distant when the profession will be unanimous as to this important point of practice,. We have recently at the hospital cured hundreds of these cases by one or two doses of castor oil. Several of our nurses and one pupil in attendance on the cholera patients have been seized with severe premonitory symp toms of cholera. They have all been quickly cured by castor oil, and not one has passed into the stage of collapse. On the other hand, I have known, in the year 1849, an attack of vomiting and purging quickly converted into one of fatal collapse by one or two small doses of opium ; and some of the worst cases of cholera that we have re cently had under our care have been those in which, pre niona to their admission, medicines have been given fur the purpose of checking the diarrhoea. "At some future time I shall probably publish a full Account of all my cases ; in the meantime, I trust that th• brief and necessarily hurried remarks which I have now made may be of service to those who aro willing to adopt a mole of treatment which appears to promise results so favourable.—l am, d:c., "3, Woburn-square, Sept. 6."

The favourable result of the late sales of coffee had caused greater firmest among holders, and the advance was well supported. In sugar there had been no great change, but the tendency was toward improvement. The chief operations bad been in raw descriptions. There was increased steadiness in rice, some purchases having slightly improved the tone of prices. Indigo and tea, although the operations were limited, had been maintained at former quotations.
