THE MOST CERTAIN PREVENTION OF CHOLERA EVER
DISCOVERED.
THE BEST and CHEAPEST DISIN-
FECTIN EXID is CREW'S INIPROVED CHLORIDE
of ZINC, for the purification of Dwelling-houses Stables, Dog Ken-
nels, Ship's Holds, Cesspools, Drains, Water-closets, &c.; the Disin-
fection of Sick It)ams, Clothing, Linen, and for the Prevention of
Contagion.

Chloride of Zinc, as the best Disinfecting and purifying agent, is
now established beyond all doubt. It is perfectly harmless in it
application and innoxious in Lself. The high price at which it hat
hitherto been sold has prevented its general use ; to obviate this
obstacle to its universal apidication as a disinfecting and purifying
agent, the present manu-acturer, who was many years with Sir N.
Burnett's Company, has ananged to supply the public with concen-
trated Chloride of Zinc in its greatest purity cud at the lowest price.
It is soli! by all Che:n'ts and Sitippitur Agents in the United King-
dem, in Imperial Quart Bott'es at Ps. 6d. each ; in pints, Is.; half
pints, Gd. each ; an.' in larger vessels at 6s. per Gallon.
Each Bottle will be accompanied with instructions for its dilution
end use. Conce-itrated Chloride of Zinc in use may be diluted with
200 times its quantity of water.

against Russia, how France and Fngland may interfere for the pre-
servation of the Turkish Government or whether the United Po mers
will succeed by open warfare or favourable negociation ; let this be

aetured by E. MOSES and SON will be victorious in every conflict

THE QUICKEST VOYAGE TO AUSTRALIA.

Letters received from Melbourne by the clipper-ship
Eagle, arrived at Liverpool, give the particulars of the
voyage to that port, from Southampton, of the General
Screw Steam Shipping Company's fine ship the Argo,
which has accomplished the quickest run to Australia
ever made. The shippers were greatly pleased with the
Argo, and with the efficiency of her performances ; large
engagements were, therefore, Mir, entered for her home-
ward trip, and it was believed she would carry a full
number of passengers, and a very large sum in bullion
and gold dust on freight. It has already been stated
that the Argo reached Port Philip on the 14th July, and
it now appears that she was detained at her moorings in
that harbour for seven days by the mutinous conduct of
the crew, who all attempted to run from the ship imme-
diately on her arrival at the colony. Captain Hyde,
however, with a promptitude and firmness which did
him great credit, acted upon the instructions given to
him before leaving England (the directors and execu-
tive of the company having anticipated such a pos-
sibility), and instantly caused the mutinous mem-
bers of the crew to be taken into custody and lodged
on board the convict hulk, there to remain until the
ship should return from Sydney, when they were to be
again taken on board. No doubt this wholesome lesson
would be found useful, and the men would work well on
the homeward voyage. When the Argo left Melbourne',
tor Sydney she had several berths already engaged for
England, and a large number of passengers went by her
at a high rate of passage money to the sister-colony. It
was expected she would return from Sydney to Port
Phillip about the 20th of August, and be prepared to
start finally for England about the 24th or 25th of that
month, so that, as she will return home by way of
Cape Horn, she may shortly be looked for to arrive at
Southampton, being now about 61 or 62 days out from
Port Phillip. The most remarkable feature of the suc-
cessful voyage made by this steamer is the small con-
sumption of fuel, the passage from St. Vincent's (Cape
de Verdes) to Melbourne, under circumstances and
weather not the most favourable, having been effected
with an expenditure of only 660 tons of coal, which is
little beyond one-third of the usual quantity consumed
for the same number of days at full power. This is a
close approximation to the result which must eventually
he obtained to realise the true value of the auxiliary
screw propeller, when applied to the propulsion of sail-
ing ships—a combination of speed and economy. It was
supposed that General Wynyard, Commander-in-Chief
of the colony,-*ould, with his family, return to Eng-
land ire the drip.
