INQUIRY INTO THE MORTALITY ON BOARD THE SHIP
DUKE OF PORTLAND.—Th. frightful mortality of Chinese
on board the British ship Duke of Portland has been the
subject of investigation for several days, before the
Local Marine Board, Cornhill ; Mr. Duncan Dunbar,
chairman. At the close of the examination of' the wit-
nessas, the chairman announced the decision of the board :
"That no blame attaches to the owner and master, or
any one connected with the ship. That Capt. Seym,mr's
conduct to the emigrants appears to have been kind
and attentive, and tbat every pospible precaution was
used by him to decrea.e the mortality. Dr. Ludgate
appears also to have exerted himself for the same pur-
pose. It appears to this board that the mortality was
greatly aggravated by the great heat and unusual
r. length of th 6 passage (150 days), caused by the sailing of
the ship in an improper season. She sailed full one
month later than she ought to have done, to enable her
to get down in the China eas.

Aug. 7,1854.--My daughter Virginic had long been consump-
tive, with diafrhcea and night sweats, and was in July last reduc-
ed to such a state of prostration and exhaustion, that our medi-
cal men agreed there was no hope of recovery left, and that
she could not survive many days. Upon the recommenda-
, tion of a friend, we tried Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica,
which, to the astonishment of all, caused an immediate
change for the 'better in the symptoms. After the ti rat 'few
meals site felt less miser:33,l3, and in six days the diarrham
and night sweats had left her. She gained strength gradu-
ally, and in two months time was perfectly well. This excel-
lent remedy deserves to be more generally known, and
I consider. I am only discharging a most sacred
duty iu recommending it to all sufferers.—S. ZEGIIERS.
