THE CHOLERA.

When we issued our last paper, we hoped that
the cholera in New York had reached its height
and that it would gradually subside But our hopes
have been disappointed. It has regularly increased
since, SO that the number of new cases and deaths
have about doubled in the course of a week, and
it may, for some time to come continue to in
crease. -Four thousand grog shops, licensed to
dea! out death by the dram, scattered throughout
the city, continue their work of destruction by day
and by night, and the papers inform u.s. that drunk
enness and dissipation strange as it may seem, in
stead of being diminished, haze greatly increased
since the cholera broke out in that city Such is
the effect o. the habtual of ardent spirits that
it seems to ea'e the mind without energy to break
away from the unnatural thraldom even when
death itself stands in the way of continued ndul-
gence, but the wretched victim drinks deeper and
deeper of the falal poison, in order to drown the
consciousness of the fearful situation in which he
has placed himself.
The deaths from cholera, in New York, numer-
Gus they are, do not hardly amount to one for
every four dram shops in the city. Should they
be sweed to one or more for every such shop, the
civil authorities may then probably take some eff
feetive for shutting up those nurseries of
vice. which have long been prolific sources of mis-
cry and wo, and which are scattering the seeds
of pestence and death, through that great city,
with unsparing hand

EFFECTS OF DISSIPATION We have been
told by a physician who has visited the New
York hospitals since the breaking out of the
Asin,ic pestlencc, that to walk through the
several wards OF these establishments, would
give man more correct idea of the curses of
dissipation, than a whole life spent in the ord-
nary way. Scarcely a solitary case (at the
hospitals) came under his view, whore the sub.
ject was not either druakard or q prostitute !
What sermon is here for the dissolute-what
lesson Tor him who poisons himself with rum +!
And has it come to this has intemperance
travelled with such rapid strides that ii is found
necessary to send pestilence to sweep il away

II has been remarked that in Montreal and
Quebec, that the returns OF every .lfOnday,
showed an increase of the disease, as compared
with the previous days: and this fact was attri.
buted to the excuses which took place among
the lower classes on Sunday. We believe the
same fact will hold true among ourselves; and
we are afraid il is attributable TO the same cause
Certain it is that the day which Almighty God
has consecraied as peculiarly his own, is sadly
abused by too many of our inhabitants, and in
stead of being devoted to the purpose of religion
is converted into day of intemperance and ex.

PREMoNIroRY SYMPTOMS. The authorities
| of Hudson appointed physician 10 visit New
York, and another TO visit Albany TO obtain in.
formation relative ID the cholera.
Dr. S. White, who visited New York, made
a report, from which the following is an extract
" PremOnitO'y Symptoms. Buzzing in the
ears-tenderness at The pit of the stomach
sudden attacks of difficult respiration, common.
ly attended with slight nausea and diarrhGea -
If these premonitions were dsregarded, it was
shortly ushered in with the most apaiIing symp-
toms, such sudden sinking--vomting-r
water cooied Acknowledgements of the fingers
and calves of the legs, GOODNESS of the extremi
ties-blnenoss of the lips, hands and feet, while
I the skin of the hands and feet were corrugated
and moist. like soaked leather--the tongue and
breath cold. To me, one Of the most striking
characteristics of this disease was an indescrib.
able sound from attempts to cough, somewhat
resembling that Of convulsive hiccough in the
lowest grade of typhus, in no instance did the
sound vary. Those who died at this Hospital
averaged sickness of about ten no IRIS, though
sometimes varying from three hours to three
days"
DR.. r G. Frary, who visited Albany, in his
report, says
1.-The disease has, | understand in almost ev-
cry case been preceded by Diarrhea, or the
common cholera ef our country-so plainly
marking its approach, that it ought not to be
mistaken. Many persons, regarding these pre-
monitory symptoms as nothing unusual, have
neglected them, ana attended to their ordinary
business, until arrested by the violence of the
second stage or spasms. Whenever medical
aid has been called at the appearance of the Di-
arrhDa, it has almost uniformly been successful.
and do not hesitate to say, that this disease,
it taken at its appearance, is as much within the
control of medicine, as any other active disease,
known to the faculty.

ease. The Board would earnestly recommend
to the citizens TO abstain from the use of such
articles during the prevalence of the epidemic
The Board would also advise great caution in
the use of all kinds Of fruit.

Much speculation (says the N Journal of
Commerce) has been excited in different parts
Of the country, by the remark of some Quebec
letter writer, that no colOrcd person had been
attacked there by the Cholera q" We believe"
says Messrs. Gates II Co of Montreal " that
one has been attacked and died but the Won
der will cease when we tell you that we believe
that there are not two dozen blacks in Que
bee and here" We have taken some notice of
the matter here in N. York, where there are
$4,000 colored persons, and the result is, that
blacks are as liable to the cholera as whites, and
that as many die in proportion to their lumber.

New York, having risen to &c 62a per barrel,
and the stock cannot be materially increased be-
fore the canal navigation ceases. On the subject
of the condition of the bread stu # market of that
city, the Journal of Commerce of Wednesday
says
The condition of our corn exchange disappoints
the expectations Of all persons engaged in the
trade. The crop Of wheat was known to be re-
markably excellent in quality and abundant in
quantity, both in the South and the West. The
crops OF coarse grains were also in general good.
The crops of Europe being good. So that no de.
was confidently anticipated that our market would
be abundantly supplied, and that prices would be
low. But so far is this anticipation from being real.
lied that no short crops have ever produced 50
scsn su pies. Our marke, is absolutely b re of
all sorts Of bread stuffs and prices are extremely
high. But fifteen days more remain before the
boats are to be withdrawn from the great western
canal: so that it will be almost impossible TO re-
ceive any adequate supplies from that source.
We have heard no satisfactory explanation Of
the causes of this singular and undesirable state
of things. The Cholera has undoubtedly been one
of the principal hindrances to supply. Prices
have been high throughout the season, but have
failed to produce their universal effect of bring
ing supplies to market.
