THE CHOLERA.

BARBADOIII.—There was some little agitation in
this colony ea the subject of colonial retrenchment,
1
which sums to some event to be advocated even by
the supporters of the government. The legislative
council had passed a road bill, which bad been the
subject of some contention, by a majority of 3. The
brig Liffey, Power, from Newport to Grenada, laden
with coal. had been wreck- d on the Cubler's Rock,
off Long Bay : crew saved.

ST. gore.—A meeting had been held for the pur
pose of pressing on the attention of the British go-
vernment, the necessity of compelling Spain and
Betel to carry into effect their engagements for the
suppression of the slave trade. The Lord Bishop of
the diocese presided and several resolutions were
passed.
ST. VINCENT.—Tbe small-pox has been raging in
this island. The bemire's of the legislature still oon-
titined suspended, through the non-attendance of a
sufficient r timber of members of assembly to form a
house. Referring to this fact the editor of the Gazette
remarks—" Such is the apathy at present prevail
ing in this fluid, as regards the ri presentation,
that not a single elector appeared at the poll on Satur-
day last when an election was intended foe the return
of a member for Charlotte parish, for which conse-
quently there is still a vacaicy."
ORENADA.—The new legislature WS in session,
and the differences previously existing bltween the
two branches eeitmed likely to be adjusted.
TRINIDAD.—Lord Harris has offered a premium of
one hundred 'sovereigns for the beet essay on the
" vegetable aid mineral capabilities of Trinidad, with
respect to the number of i:s productions, and the
qu,ntity, quality, Ida value of each comparatively,
as they are now, or as they might be supplied, either
for home consumption or exportation, with the pr.-
sect available amount of labour." The essay must
be tent in before the Is: August, ISM.
From the other islands thus is no news of import-
ance.

CawrattGerea.—We leant that the cholera had
greatly subsided when the steamer Dee left Certha-
gees. On that vessel's arrival at that place, the
deaths amounted to ninety and one hundred per
diem ; but the authorities had authorised thc frequent
discharge of cannons and other fire-arms, the powder
from which is a:id to have had the effect of destroyieg
the impregnated state of the atmosphere, and tended
in an ext,aordinary manner toabate the disease which
it was feared would tek' off thousands of the inhabi-
tants. The cant of provisions c,ntinued to be felt,
and it is sal that the disease had been in many cues
scaelerated by statv-tion, the peop!e in the interior
being fearful of coming into the town with their pro-
visions, and the c >net quence was, that supplies were
only received by fricign vessels arriving at Carats-
gens.—Jansuica Aforniug Journal.

A Norwich correspondent says: The remains of this go ,d
and much revered bishop were brought to this cry en Wed-
nesday night last, and on the arrival of the corpse in Nor.
with it was placed in the private chapel of the palace. The

The vast procession passed into and over the Palace-plain,

dral, where the Dean of Norwich. L-rd High Steward,

was a walking funeral, there being neither mourning coach
nor a priest. carriage of any kind in the procession.
THE BANGALORE, EAST INDIAMAN.—Advice' from

Plymouth state that the Bang-Jore entered the Sound on
Monday. The following lute relative to her perage will be
read with interest:—" The Bangalore registers 876 toes, be-
lolling to Mean. Phillip., Shaw, and Lowther, of London,
anu is commanded by Caps. J. A. Mama. Having a full
cargo, the deed weight of which approached 1,100 tens, con-
sisting of gambit, bides, gutty percha, pepper, spices, sago,
antimony, cocoa nut oil, sperm oil, &c , sbe sailed from Sen
(spore on the 4th April last, called at St. Helena on the
let, and left there on the 3rd of July. By. the 20th August,
the officers had got the rigging in good trim, and the hull
and spars painted throughout, intending, with a proper pride,
to enter the docks with a ere litable appearance. On the 4th
Sept, however, when in lat. 502 north, long. 10.3 sr.st,
they were overtaken by a gale, varying from tooth to south-
east, which split their jib, .and carried away their main-
sail, separated the main stalk of the rudder from the fan
part, and did other damage to the ship. As soon as possible
the rudder was secured by a yoke and hawsers, but on the
7th of September they experienced another gale, by which
the fan part of the rudder was carried away, taking the false
stern- pi.at with it. Oa the Bth they cut away the taffrail,
and fixed our the stern a steer-oar, made of a main-yard,
ith etuldine-soil booms for • fan, and having a crossbeam
fora !ever, they worked the oar with elude guys and tetkles.
Finding this not to answer, they,. on the 10%, set about
.king a rudder, more like the original one, and for this
purpose they ransacked the ship and her rigging for every
available material. Her carpenter, Mr. &Aileen, took about
thirty feet of the foreyard for a mainpieee, and a portion of
the remainder, with a topeailyard tut in two for a fan ;
thees weri lashed tcgetber with a copper wire rope, the
lightning conductor, &e., and smeared with elms and
strong iron bolts. All this was done while the unma-
nageable ship was experiencing the shocks of a short
us, which made her tremble all over and the wash was so
great that they were compelled to trice up the ports, to give
the water free pursue across her waist. Frequent showers
of cold rain were falling, and five or six of her crew were
disabled by scurvy. Capt. Martyn was, however, ably sup-
p aced by his <A-erg, Mee rs Smith and Hanle, and the rest
of the crew. The rudder being thus fnr completed, a clamp,
something in the sleep of a ship's trestle-trees, was formed
to receive it. The clamp was made of a spare anchor-stock,
and one of the orlop deck besets • it had two jaws to receive
the ship's stern poet, =deems famed to the rudder, so as to
be seven feet from its heel, which was intended to be two
feet from the lower part of the ship's keel. The topsail sheet
chains were unroved and fixed to the clump, on either side, for
use as pays. The next difficulty was to get the rudder under
water, and for this purpose they attached to it an anchor
weighing half • ton; but the rudder being made of fir proved
too bueyar.t for the anchor, which was taken off and ts-
nlaced by two guns weighing from 7 ewt. to 8 cwt. each, and
fastened with slip r Tee. By this means the rudder was at
length sunk to its place, and the chain guys from the clamp
having been brou.let on either side to the gangway pot s,
-.sales were fastened from them to ring bolts in the deck,
and the whole hove taut by the capstan. The redder
being all debt, the slip ropes were cut adrift, and the
guns hove on bond, with strong tackle fixed to the head
of the mainmast. Too after-ccovainodation having been cat
- - • . •

away, and the udder cue reduced, the tiller now -works on
the main deck by ropes which ran through the poop deck
up t•i the wheel. All this wh le the unfortunate ship had
been gradually drifting upon a lee shore, and on the 14th of
September, vntli the wind from the N.W. to N., right on the
land. lidtant light bore B.E by 8., distant only 14 miles.
Ths skill ►nd energy of British seamen had, however, under
favour of a kind 11r evidence, prevailed ; with her new
rudder, the Bangalore was once more under control, and by
it she at length niched this harbour in safety. It is to be
hoped that this act of seamanship, by which a valuable skip
and costly cargo hare been saved, will not go unrewardied."
