We regret to find that the cholera is once more on its
march towards this country. It keeps again moving on
towards us in two. parallel lines, one north, the other
south. On the former line it has got as far as Berlin and
Brunswick, on the latter it has visited Egypt and Malta.
There is no time to be lost in making such preparations
as may help to mitigate the virulence of the epidemic,
whenever it shall, as there is too much reason to. fear it
will, reach our shores.

THE PADDLE-WHEEL SUPERSEDED.—In the Mining
Journal of the 10th instant, we made some remarks on
the inefficacy of paddle-wheels to supply the full power of
the engine to the propulsion of the vessel. Now, Lnpton's
propeller, which we also noticed, is a continuous one;
every revolution gives out the full power of the engine to
the propulsion of the vessel, and although the blades pro-
ject but two feet, they are equally effective in power as a
float at right angles with the vessel's side of six feet, from
their peculiar angular position. As we before observed,
their having been adopted in the Great Britain previous to
her last lamentable voyage, is a proof of the principle
being founded on scientific principles ; and we think it
would be found worthy the attention of any party having
connection with steam navigation to endeavour to get a
trial in one boat, which could be-fitted at small cost, when
it is probable a degree of speed and saving of fuel would
be obtained which would astonish those who persist in
thinking the paddle-wheel the ne plus ultra of steam
navigation.—Mining Journal.

on the floor, and with a sharp instrument punctured her
hand until the blood flowed copiously, and a sufficient
quantity was obtained for the purpose required, that of
sprinkling her own forehead, which the defendant had
been informed by a " cunning body would have the effect
of dispelling the charm of witchcraft," and having
effected her object she absconded, leaving the old lady
almost lifeless. The complainant's husband and her me-

dressed as on the present. The magistrates, after a most
attentive hearing, said, that unless a settlement took
place, they would commit defendant to prison ; but we

the payment of a sum of money and all costs, the defend-
ant persisting in it that" Hetty Cooper were still a witch,"
and in this opinion, strange to say, she does not stand
