The report OF the recent cure Of two Ca
ses Of Hydrophobia, as taken from the Mon
treal Herald of the 7th inst. which ne this
day publish, will, we doubt not, be crafty
ing to our readers. Whether these cures
were performed by the medicines sdminis-
tered beside, the sevll soap, we are incom-
petent TO judge. We give the particulars
as we received them, and leave the public
to determine for themselves. hoping, that;
should cases OF the same kind recur, the
same method may be repeated, which will
be the most sure way of testing its efficacy.
We must confess. however, that We have
bu little confidence in the scull-seap.
A letter from Lisbon, dated the 18th Feb.
says, "Our new Health Board has taken off
the late Quarantine restrictions on vessels
arriving from Ports of the United States,
free from sickness, but the, papers must be
certified by the Portuguese Consul as usual,
which will enti,le them to instant pratsque
on their arrival here. This measure will
be great facility TO your commerce, and
cause considerable saving in the charges,
and also enable consignees to afford much
greater disp: tch than heretofore"
Letters from Sweden, state that the health
laws, respecting vessels from the United
States are rigidly executed. Those vessels
which have not regular consular bills OF
health on board, are subjected to much de-
lay and expense. One Of them, an Ameri-
can, having a cargo OF cotton, was obliged
on this account to unlade and 'repack it
before permission was granted to sell it. 1t
Is to be regretted, when clear bills ofhealth
can be so easily obtained. that any neglect
r of owners should subject their vessels to this
delay and Inconvenience.
