InDico.—The quantity of East India de dared fen
:public sale on the 9th of October already amounts to the
urge quantity of 17 545 chests, and will be further in-
,reascd. There has been little disposition on the part
if shippers or home dealers to do business this w• ek, and
last sul,,s rates are now obtainable for only small lots;
impression exists that prices will decline at the Oc

ASCENT OF IMR. COXWELL IN HIS BALLOON,
SYLPH, FROM BERLIN.—Mr. Cuxwell, the enterprising
and skilful aeronaut, made his one hundrrd and seven-
teenth ascension yesterday evening (Aug. 23), in his
tialloon Sylph. The preparations fur the ascent having
been perfectly concluded, end the supply of gas abundant,
our intrepid countryman ordered the bolding tackle to be
cast off at half-past six in the evening. and rose majesti-
cally and steadily in the air, amidst the applause of an
;mtnenSe mass of spectators. Mr. Coxwell was aCethln
panied by two gentlemen of Berlin, and by an deve
anxious to be raised still higher. The party appeared
very joyous, but did not forget to keep up their
courage by drinking the health of Berlin in champagne
ss they rose. Mr. Cuxwell having arrived at a cer-
tain distance, let drop a parachute, to which was at
Cached a basket containing a rabbit, which landed safely
near the Berlin and Potsdam Station. The balliton took
the direction of that place, and would have arrived there
with rapidity, but Mr. Coxwell, in order to give proofs of
his skill, let off a portion of gas when halfway, descended,
landed one of his travelling companions, rose again, and
continued his voyage, which he accomplished with per-
feet ease and security in the immediate vicinity of Pots-
dam. The aeronaut added to the satisfaction of the mul-
titudes by throwing out printed papers, containing some
complimentary verses to the city, in which they were
ruly told that it was the first. time that a poet had ever
addressed them from the clouds.
CLOLERA PRESCRIPTION.—Sir James Clark has
addressed the following communication to a contempo-
rary, dated " Balmoral, Aug. 26:—The subjoined pre
scription, purporting to be a cure for cholera, has, I
tint!, been widely circulated in the public journals, as
emanating from me. I shall feel greatly obliged by
your permitting me to state that the prescription was
never written nor sanctioned by me; on the contrary,
I consider it absolutely dangerous in the dose, a
tablespoonful (nearly equal to five grains of opium!), in
which it is recommended Three drachms of spirits
of camphor, three drachms laudanum, three drachms of
oil of turpentine, thirty drops oil of peppermint. For
diarrhoea--A teaspoonful is a glass of brandy and water.
For cholera—a tablespoontul in a glass of brandy and
water. The above dose is for an adult. Smaller quan-
tities, according to age, for children'."
DlsAsraous AFFAIR.—The Toledo Ohio Blade, of
the 31st ultimo, stares that on Saturday night last, as the
steamers Bunker Hill and Trcy were coming up the
lake, the Bunker Hill ahead, and the Troy dirt oily in
her wake, about a mile behind, the Acorn, which was
going down, passed the Bunker on the starboard side,
and when within a short distance of the Troy turned to
run across so as to pass the Troy on the larboard side,
when the Troy struck her about midship. The Acorn
.tely with all on hoard except the crew,
who barely had time to get on the Troy.
