Cholera: Its Symptoms and Treatment.

Cholera is so called from xaXar, the bowels, and
eECO, to flow. It is also spoken of as Algide Cholera,
the last term being derived from algeo, to be cold,
to indicate the loss of heat, which is one of the
symptoms of this fatal disease. The terms malignant
and Asiatic are also applied to it. In a clever little
pamphlet, by Dr. Alfred Orlando Jones, that practi-
tioner writes :—The treatment I should recommend,
(until the patient is able to send for a medical
adviser) is as follows :—Tincture of camphor, five
drops ; trituration of opium, five to ten grains,
given alternately in half a wineglass of water, every
10, 15, or 30 minutes, according to the severity of
the symptoms. In the first stages the strongest tr.
camphor given every 10 minutes, and small doses of
opium every 15 minutes, are the best remedies; but no
time should be lost in sending fora medical adviser in
the meantime. If there is thirst, drink cold rice
water and arrowroot or beef-tea. Let the patient
maintain a recumbent posture ; cover the body with
blankets, and put a hot bottle to the feet, and throw
tincture of camphor on the bed, and Condy's disin-
fecting fluid, or carbolic acid on the floor; let all
nuisances about the dwelling be removed. If this
cannot be done, let the patient, as soon as convales-
cent, be removed to a healthy and high situation, to
avoid a second attack and expedite recovery of
strength.

NEW PLANETS.—TWO new telescopic planets have
been discovered within the last fortnight. One, being the
87th, was observed in the United States, and as yet we
have no precise data regarding it. The other, being the
88th, was first observed on the night of the 7th inst. at
Marseilles, by M. Stdphan, of that observatory, and on the
same day at Paris, a telgram announcing the discovery
having been immediately sent thither from Marseilles. The
following were its positions at 11h. 47m. 575. mean time of
Paris ; R. A. 20h. 52m. Us. 23 ; Polar dist. 106 deg. 43m.
575. I. Galignani.

AN EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.—A correspondent
of the Times writes : —As Park-lane is to be enlarged, it
strikes me that a great advantage would be gained if the
iron railings, when replaced along the Bayswater-road
from the Marble Arch, were set in about four feet, which
would give a pleasant and commodious walk shaded by
trees, such alteration not causing the least detriment to
the park, but an incalculable boon to pedestrians journey-
ing along the Bayswater-road. Out of evil cometh, in this
instance good ; and it will be pleasant to think that the
disturbances of Hyde Park have, at any rate, improved
the " ways of the people," and established a reform much
wanted.
AN AFFECTING INCIDENT.—On the occasion of
the late fatal accident on the London and Brighton Rail-
way, and just before the collisicn between the two trains
occurred, and when the driver and fireman of one of the
engines perceived that it was too late, the following words,
according to the Express, passed between them :—"Joe,"
said the fireman, " there's no help for it; we're right into 1
one another." " Yes," rejoined his mate, the driver, "but
I can see nothing but my wife and children at home !"
The words were hardly spoken when the dreadful encoun-
ter ensued, with the results we have before reported.
CO-OPERATIVE SOCIETIES.—The annual return of
industrial and provident societies in England regis-
tered under the Act of 1863 contains accounts for the year
1865 relating to 417 of the 599 whose rules have been certi-
fied by Mr. Tidd Pratt. These co-operative associations,
carrying on the trade of grocers and dealers in other
provisions, shoemaking and drapery, had at the close
of 1865 148,586 members ; their share capital amounted
to £761,313, and their loan capital was £112,733.
They paid £3,063,088 for goods bought in the_y.eear
1865, and received for goods sold £3,373,837. 27'

DENSITY OF POPULATION.—The new volume of
the Board of Trade Statistical Tables gives the following
statement of the population of countries with more than ten
million inhabitants according to the most recent census :
—United Kingdom,
258 persons to the English square mile
upon an average ; Italy, 225 ; France, 180 ; Prussia, 179 ;
Austria, 155 ; Spain (and Balearic Islands), 84 ; Turkey,

The Charge of Inflinging the Foreign

istmen,, Act.

[ The following appeared in our Third Edition, of last
evening.]

The further hearing of the charge against Captain Ellis
and Mr. Peters for an infringement of the Foreign Enlist-
ment Act, in endeavouring to enlist .men to joi,j,
in a warlike operation against a Power with
which her Majesty was at peace, was resumed
this afternoon before Sir Thomas Henry, chief magistrate.
The only witness examined was a seaman moiled, Hicks,
who stated that he signed articles at the instr.nce of the
defendants for a yachting voyage for two years; but when
he, in company with a number of other seamen, engaged
under the same circumstances, ware taken, on board a ship
called the Grettou Hall, it was discovered that the men
were to join a ship, which, it was believed,
was a vessel of war under a Chilian flag. As
some of the men engaged were Naval Reserve
men, they objected to the voyage, and a number of men
left the Gretton Hall, and the present proceeding were
instituted.

The case against the defendants having been closed by
,he solicitor for the Treasurer.

Mr. Sleigh said, as he fully expected that the magistrate
had made up his mind to commit the defendants, he should
not say a word further than asking that the defendants ba
committed directly to the Court of Queen's Bench.
The Solicitor for the Treasury objected. He desired
that the defendants might be committed to the assizes at
Maidstone, as the offence was committed in the county of
Kent.

Sir Thomas Henry said a portion of the alleged offence
was committed in the docks and at Limehouso, and there-
fore he felt it would be desirous to send the case to the
Court of Queen's Bench.

After a long discussion the witnesses were all bound
over to appear and give evidence at the trial of the de-
fendants in the Court of Queen's Bench at Westminster.
The defendants were admitted to bail.
