Tbe actual or imaginary exlgeoolits of the Palitinsi
situation are not to be allowed to rob no of the quiet
of the former part of the long vacation. For a few
weeks at least, there will be a truos observed on both
sides. Theo, salt refreshed energise., the battle w:11
be renewed in right good earnest. The Cabinet forces

the Pernanits' much mere than hobos the Government.

The English Government bee somewhat tardily
determined to follow the lead of Brews and Germany
In instituting • wientific enquiry into the origin of

Gibbs have been despatched to India for this purpose.
The German savants are not supported by the
French 'events in their theory of the propagation of

letter, the epidemic cholers in no way differs from
the sporadic °holes*, and both we but aggravated
forms of dierrhuss. In this matter, as In all others,
