Liverpool Cotton Blarket.—TMs Day.

st
St

The market is quiet but steady. Sales probably
10,000 or 12,000 bales.

The American vessel the Miantonomah and her
consorts aro at Hamburg, and a banquet has been given to
the officers.

The death-laden blue mists are disappearing, and
the terrible epidemic with which we have been wrestling
so earnestly seems, for a time at least, departed. That
we were unprepared for the visitation, in spite of long
and unmistakeable warning, has been too well proved.
Our sanitary arrangements were not so complete and
effectual as might have been expected, and the cholera
settled down with awful consistency in its favourite haunts
of filth. But if we were neglectful of the means by which
the dreadful plague might have been kept from our doors,
we were not found wanting in the matter of remedies.
Science has shown herself equal to the great task imposed
upon her, and has extracted from the wondrous bosom of
Nature medicinal charms which can save us from the grip
of this cruel pestilence. It is now some years ago since
Dr. J. Collis Brown discovered the marvellous remedial
qualities of that for which ho coined the word chlorodyno
in cases of cholera and diarrhoea Like most discoveries
of the kind many difficulties stood in the way of its great
value becoming generally known, but those difficulties ap-
pear to be overcome, and the statement made by Earl
Russell with regard to its efficiency has now established
the well-merited fame of its inventor. The most remark-
able characteristic of Dr. Brown's Chlorodyne is its reme-
dial power in every stage of the dreadful malady. It has
been tried in the most aggiavated cases with extraordinary
success, and numbers of the medical profession, convinced
of its useful properties, have frankly acknowledged its
merits. We hope that the blue mists of cholera will not

THE CHEPSTOW OLD BANK.—This. bank stopped
pbyment in June last, with liabilities of £56,000, and the
assets were estimated to realise a dividend of 10s. in the
pound. Messrs. Brown, Cur re, and Higgins were appointed
trustees to wind up the estate, and their management has
been so successful that a dividend of Bs. in the pound is
announced as payable on the sth of November. Should the
liquidation continue favourable, it is probable that the cre-
ditors will obtain more than the original estimate of 10s. in
the pound.
