M... 4 MI , _ August October Novem litaeem Tin? many cases of cholera which have lately occurred on board the emigrant ships arriving in the United States, have naturally attracted public attention, both in that country and in Great Britain, and have been variously accounted for. The New York Herald, received by the last mail, gives a long list of vessels, which have arrived in the city during the last few months, showing that out o f an aggregate number of passengers, amounting to 13,762 souls, with which they sailed from Europe, no less than 1,141 fell victims, during the voyage, chiefly to cholera, whilst a very great number landed in a very diseased condition. The New York Morning Courier, commenting upon this statement, attributes the high rate of mortality to the generally filthy habits of the emigrants themselves, and to the inability of the captains and officers of vessels engaged in the trade to enforce attention to the sanitary regulations, or even to compel that per sonal cleanliness which is so conducive alike to health and comfort. There is, unfortunately, much truth in this view of the cause of the evil. There are classes of Irish and German emigrants to whom even pure air seems to be rather an annoyance to be shunned than a blessing to be enjoyed —people who have herded from childhood with pigs, or spent their whole lives in an atmosphere of tobacco smoke, fetid with the effluvium of the garbage which forms their usual and favourite food. But that emigration might be carried on without being attended with such wretched ness and calamity, we are perfectly satisfied. Ventila tion can be insisted upon if a proper degree of firmness be displayed by the captains of emigrant ships and their officers ; and gratitude for the result—health and comfort during the voyage—will most assuredly reward the efforts made. A proof of this is now just before us in the form of an address, signed by a number of the passengers on board of the British ship lowa, belonging to Messrs. Pilkington and Wilson's " White Star line of Packets" to New York, presented to her commander, Capt. Reed, in the presence of the whole body, on their arrival in New York. The lowa sailed from this port and Cork, in company with several other ships, in very severe weather; and, whilst those ships made long passages, and ea• ZORTICULTURE. r'4 OI, ZSERVATORY, AND GREENHOUSE.—The tem toh7n be maintained in these structures at thi llVZ‘hiolisl.,of course, of the utmost importance.

The address thus alludes to the result of the voyage : " We, the undersigned passengers, cannot think of sepa rating without expressing our grateful thanks to you for having, under Divine Providence, landed us safely and in uninterrupted health,—(whilst we perceive by a file of New York papers, brought out by the pilot, that mortality to the extent of thirty-five to thirty-eight souls on board two vessels running the same voyage has taken place,)—and that during the short space of thirty-two days, during which period we encountered heavy gales, and had to con tend against a long continuance of head wind." After expressing the confidence inspired in their minds through out the voyage, by the intrepid demeanour of Capt. Reed, and his endeavours in encouraging his crew to exertion in moments of serious difficulty, the memorial proceeds : " We have to bear testimony to your urbanity, when look , after our health, comfort, ventilation and recre ation, and to the good quality of the stares with which we have been supplied." Here, we suspect, is the secret, which accounts for a healthy and safe voyage ; whilst other ships were full of disease and calamity. Captain Reed minglei amongst the passengeis, and, by kindly encou ragement, led them to cultivate habits of cleanliness and cheerfulness. All emigrant vessels, when they sail, are, more or less, efficiently ventilated. The lowa was perfect in this necessary particular, and her commander main tained such perfect ventilation during the voyage. Hence, and from the good quality of the stores, the gratifying result of his voyage, and the flattering testimonial with which his services were rewarded. RECEIPTS FOR THE MILLION. SAVOURY RICE.-Put 11b. of rice into 3 quarts of boiling water, let it simmer for 20 minutes, then skim the water, and add loz. of hog's lard, and a little salt and allspice ; let it simmer gently over the fire, closely covered, for an hour and a quarter, when it will be fit for use. It will produce rather more than 81bs. of savoury rice, which, if purchased at a moderate price, will not cost quite id. a pound. BARED RICE PUDDING.—Put ill). of rice into 3 quarts of skim milk, and add 2 oz. of treacle, or a little pepper and salt, and bake it. It will make nearly 41bs. of pud ding, and will cost about Id. a-pound. If East Indian rice is used, it should be previously soaked for a few hours BOILED RICE PIIDDING.—BoiI 11b. of rice in a pud ding-bag, so loose as' to be capable of holding five times the qttantity. It will produce fibs. of solid pudding, and may be eaten with treacle. It will cost about id. a-pound. MACCARONI RICE.—Put llb. of rice in 6 pints of cold water, and boil it gently for two hours, by which time it will be of the consistence of thick paste ; that add 2 pints of skim milk, and 2 oz. of strong Cheshire cheese grated pretty fine ;. add a little pepper and salt, and boil the whole very gently for another hour. It will produce 91bs. of maccaroni rice, and will cost not quite -id. a-pound. RICE AND BARLEY PORRIDGE.—Put 11b. of rice and 11b. of Scotch barley into 2 gallons of water, and boil them very gently for four hours over a slow fire ; then add 4oz. of treacle and loz. of salt, and let the whole sim mer for half-an-hour more. It will produce 161bs. in weight, and will cost rather more than id. a-pound. SWEET RICE.—Put 1 lb. of rice in 5 pints of cold water and boil it gently for two hours, by which time it will be of the consistency of thick paste ; then add 2 pints of skim milk and 4 ozs. of treacle, and boil the whole very gently for another hour. It will produce 9 lb. of sweet Rudding, and will cost rather more than id. a pound. i ll Where no milk is to be had, the first, third, and fifth receipts are recommended ; where there is plenty of milk the second receipt is recommended; and where there is little skim milk to be obtained the cottager is recom mended to try the fourth and sixth. By means of these receipts those of the poorer classes, who earn but a few shillings a week, are able to be furnished daily with a cheap, good, and wholesome meal. ECONOMY IN F 009.-1 lb. of whole rice boiled in 5 quarts of water, thickened with 1 lb. of oatmeal, will make 81-Ib. of good food. Put the rice down first with 1 quart of water, and add the remaining 4 quarts of water as the rice swells ; then put in the oatmeal, stirring all ; cost, 6d. Add salt, or pepper, or sugar, to suit the taste. If the rice is steeped for five or six hours it will be better. RICE SOUP. -Take an ox heel (cost 94.), or the same anus at of tripe, lean beef, or sheep's liver:; put it on with 4 or 5 quarts of water, and stew it gently five hours ; let it stand till cold, take off the fat, and in this fat fry two for three onions ; put these to the stock made by the cow .heel, add 21b. of rice, and boil for an hour and a half slowly ; then add pepper and salt to taste, 1 quart of skim milk, and two spoonfuls of flour:; stir it into the soup by degrees, keep stirring for a few minutes, and then serve. Than SOllP—Slice four or five turnips and three onions, put them into a stewpan with half-a-pound of dripping; cover close and let it stew without water, turn ing it now and then, for half-an-hour. Theu add 3 quarts of mid water, boil slowly two hours, •or until the turnips are all in a pulp, break them fine with a spoon, add pepper and salt to taste ; boil half-an-hour longer till it is quite smooth, then add two spoonfuls of lour and milk as be fore. RE GETABLE SOUP (FRENcn).—Take two cabbages or lettuces, a handful of spinage, and : a little parsley, all well washed; chop them very small; take six carrots, as many turnips, three or four onions, alsouut small : stew them in a Vb. of butter or dripping ; and two quarts of bailing water, stew them for two _hours ; put in a little pepper and salt, a pint of young pease, in summer, or grey pease in winter, but the latter must have been pre viously soaked and boiled ; let all stew another hour. Where there is a garden all these soups may be made at.a cost of very little more than Is, for which a good dhmer may be provided for two days, as more water may be.added to the stock than is here stated ; and a basin of this broth, thickened with a little toiled rice, would make a comfortable breakfast for a poor man before he went to his work; instead of his present comfortless meal of dry bread and sloppy tea. 1 3 ! A SOUP WITHOUT MEAT.—Take a pint of whole pease, let them soak all night ; next day put them into three quarts of boiling water, let them boil till tender; them smash them together so as :to form a paste ; put them back into the water along with a quantity qi,,tur nips.and carrots, all cut into dice, with some sliced Mans; let the soup simmer gently for two lours, then thicken with .oatmeal, and season with pepper and salt.

Dervish is in better odour than be was. of last week would have led one to suppose; but it has been quite as brisk as that of any market which has been held lateiy. The downward tendency of prices which prevailed a week ago has given way, and been succeeded by a tone of firmness which the state of the wool market is likely to up hold, for some time at least, if we may judge from present appearances. A good business has been done by the wool staplers. itioTTtscumu.—The usual absence of demand always ex perienced this month still continues, and, with the exception of a few final orders for the season, both for lace and hosiery, there is comparatively nothing doing. There are a few orders out for spring goods in the hosiery trade, but as ample time is given for their completion, there does not appear any activity in the trade. Stocks of goods are light, and there can be little doubt of an average trade doing for the next three months. The Torquay Steeple Chases are fixed for the 15th Feb.

Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., has presented to Mr. John Scott a very elegant piece of plate, in retuni for a hors , .! which Mr. John Scott sent as a present to the learned gentleman at the time of the occurrence of his accident.

MANC4IS EST II it.—The market maintains the improved tone noticed last week. We are still without any very extensive demand.; but, compared with the late state of business, we are decidedly better; and when the decrease of production, resulting from the universal working of short time, is taken into account, it will readily be conceived that even a mode rate demand will be sufficient to keep down stocks of all kinds, whilst those numbers of yarn and descriptions of fabrics most called for, have had imparted to them a decidedly hardening tendency. The demand for India yarns continues steady, at very full prices. For the Continent there is not much doing. The German demand is restricted, on account of the advanced season, the rivers being now frozen up. Manufacturers continue to make purchases, and the prices of the range of yarns between 20's and 30's. both weft and warp, still tend upwards. For China some purchases have been made during the week. As regards goods we are still able to report a better feeling, especially in light fabrics for India, which continue to be taken freely at full former rates, and in fact an advance is obtained for some descriptions, such as jacconetts and low skirtings. Seven-eighths and nine-eighths printers are in better inquiry, whilst the heavier classes of goods are also in better demand, but the advancing prices of yarns militate against producers. LEEDS.—At the cloth market, on Tuesday, although there was a pretty full attendance of buyers, less business was transacted than for several weeks past. The stocks are low in the manufacturers' hands, and many of them are engaged to order, for early delivery in the new year; the mills, in con sequence, keep well employed, and prices are firm. On the whole, business is as brisk as usual at this period of the year. BRADFORD.—WooI: The Christmas holidays, and many being engaged in stock-taking, tend to keep buyers from the market, and there is only a limited business doing. The stocks held are less than usual at this period, and the prices demanded by the growers are such as prevent staplers coming to the seat of consumption. Noils and brokes are not abun dant, and prices firm.—Yarns: The demand is somewhat improved, but no inducement in price to bring unemployed machinery into operation.—Pieces : There is no material business doing, except for new year's account, and the cur tailment of the last three months must tell favourably on the opening of the new year. Prices may be quoted firmer, with an upward tendency. ROCHDALE.—In wool there is little change; the manufac turers buy for immediate use only, but prices keep very firm. HUDDERSFIELD.—Business in the warehouses has gene rally been good, considering the time of the year; and a con siderable quantity of finished woollens and waistcoatlngs have changed bands. In the Cloth-hall and the manufac tuna' shops the demand LAB not been so brisk as the close LEICESTER.—The last week before Christmas, and also preceding the general stock takings, a less amount of work has been given out, and less business is doing. Still, most are buoyant with the expectation of better doings after the festivities of the season.—The firmness of the wool markets, carefulness of the spinners, and general diminished produc tion, with the continued favourable state of the weather, all tend to such a desirable result. CORN MARKETS LIVERPOOL, Dec. 23.—We had a slender attendance of buyers at our market this morning, who purchased sparingly of wheat, and only extra qualities of white, which are scarce, brought within Id of the prices of Tuesday. while any thing below this description, and all sorts of red, may be noted 2d per bushel cheaper ; the demand was chiefly for the country. Scarcely a sample of farmers' wheat appeared to-day; the quality and condition in this district are better than in most others.—Flour is in very limited request at 6d to 9d per bar rel reduction, and a number of parcels offered to arrive.— Barley and beans remain without alteration.—Oats in steady request, and id to Id per bushel dearer.—There is still a demand for old oatmeal to keep over; it is held for 6d more money, and a good quantity of new has been disposed of these few days for forward delivery at 33s 3d to 33s 6d per load C. F. & I. ; the value on the spot is 33s 6d to 33s 9d.— Prime Indian corn is in good demand; a cargo of Mazagan sold ex ship for Irish orders at 45s per 4Solbs.; the inquiry for feeding is but moderate.
