With home-grown Potatoes these markets are some-

at from 71 to 81 per ton. The quality of the supplies
is extremely good. From abroad, the imports have
somewhat fallen off—they having amounted to 226 bags
from Calais, 753 baskets 77 bags from Rotterdam, 26
baskets 12 casks from liavre, 87 baskets from Dunkirk,
42 baskets from Antwerp, and 14 baskets from Amster-

WOOZ.
The public sales of Wool, which will be continued
during the whole of the present week, have been well
attended by buyers since our last report. Upwards of
80,000 bales have up to the present time been disposed
of, at an advance of Id per lb:, being about the opening
figures. Privately, very little business is doing, yet
most of the holders refuse to sell except at enhanced
currencies. Since Monday last the imports into London
have been liberal, viz.-1.731 bales from Adelaide, 16
ditto from Oporto, 178 ditto from Launceston, 43 ditto
from Mogador, 228 ditto from Hamburgh, CO ditto from
New York, 402 ditto from Algoa Biy, 113 ditto from
Marseilles, 02 ditto from Buenos Ayres, 767 ditto from
Sydney, and 890 ditto from Hobart Town.

TALLOW.
Although the delivery last week was large for the
time of year-1,717 casks, the demand to-day, is some-
what inactive, at prices barely equal to those obtained
on Monday last. P.Y.C. on the spot is selling at 38s to
39s 6d, and for forward delivery 39s 61 to 393 9d per
cwt. Town Tallow, 37s 6d to 37s 9.1 per cwt, net

Several cases of a most sudden and dangerous descrip-
tion have occurred at the Westminster House of Cm,
reetton in Tothill•fields, which induced Sir George Grey
to order the liberation, on Saturday evening, of more
than twenty prisoners out of the most aged or feeble of
those committed for lesser offences, or short periods.
This seasonable act of clemency was thought necessary
in order to thin the prison, and thus to allow of a greater
degree of care and attention to be bestowed upon the ra•
plunder of the prisoners confined in the house.

THE CHOLERA.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SIR,—In reading one of your last week's papers I
observed some remedies for cholera. This, together
with the fearful prevalence of the illness, will, I trust, be
a sufficient apology for my intruding on your valuable
time. The following medicine cured my mother (who
is now alive and in the enjoyment of good health) of
Asiatic cholera in 1832 :
Quarter of an ounce of essence of peppermint, quar-
ter of an ounce of essence of musk; take twelve drops
in a table spoonful of cold water. Should the first dose
return, it may be repeated every quarter of an hour
until the cramp is gone.
Quarter of an ounce of essence of peppermint,.L
half,f
an ounce of essence of bark, quarter of an ounce
essence of red lavender. One table spoonful every half
hour for the relaxation and sickness.
For violent relaxation the following, though a very
simple one, is nevertheless a very excellent remedy:—
Take a lump cf flour in the hand, tie it up tightly in
a cloth and boil it for eight hours without intermission.
A shorter period of time will not suffice. When taken
up it presents the appearance of a small pudding. Cut
off the outer part which is soft, and the inside is like un-
cooked flour, but of extreme hardness; grate it with a
nutmeg-grater, and mix it with spices boiled in pepper-
mint and pennyroyal water, which can be obtained at
the chemists, or it may be eaten if preferred; in either
case it is very safe and effectual.
A person in our employ told us a few days since that
she had been cured by half a quarters of brandy, twenty
drops of laudanum, and ten drops of oil of peppermints
one table spoonful in a glass of water as hot as can be
drank. This recipe Nes given her by a physician, in
whose employ she was engaged. I should say that if
the first dose does not ease, it may be repeated every
three hours. I have no doubt but this would be a very
Powerful remedy, but the first I can bear witness to the
eicacY of, as my own mother was cured of Asiatic
cholera of the werst description by it. Her own doctor
gave her over, and a friend of my father's, whose son
was a doctor, went and brought this medicine for her.
But in a case where a person is taken, and medical aid
is not immediately forthcoming, the following forms a
very excellent steam-bath:—Make a brick red hot, place
it in an upright position in a pail, nearly cover it with
hawoßottiwnagter, place a chair over the pail, and let the person
sit in the chair, cover them with a blanket, and while
so give them about as much cayenne pepper as
Witahld lay on a fourpenny-picce in a cup of warm water
selves7,rzlanthkeentsimmediately go to bed and wrap them-
