US that it is matter Of uncertainty whether any
Commencement will be neld in the ensuing au

Speeches have been assigned to the senior class
but the occurrence Of this annual celebration will
depend upon the health Of the country.
A letter from highly respectable Cotton
Planter Of Mississippi, published in the Nation.
al Gazette has the following information relative
to the health of that country, which may be in
terestins.
s.We have had some sickness, land few deaths.
We have had the genuine Asatic Cholera among
our blacks: at least we have had many cases at
tended with violent spasms, and all the other
symptoms Of the Asiatic have had on one Of
my places 40 cases out of 50 souls. some of them
very violent. They all yield readily to large
dose Of calomel in pill, {s0 grains) with two
teaspoons OF paresorc, Immediately after the
pain appeared, and the application of poultice
of peach leaves, (made by stewing the leaves in
whskey in close vessel, over slow fire, and
spread thick on flannel. over the whole abdomen,
as warm as il could be borne, and renewed when
it became cool. have heard Of, think, as ma.
ny as 700 cases, and only live or six dea,hs.''
The London Quarterly, true to its principles,
- dies game" 1t fought against Reform, and
now that "reform" has come, it predicts the
worst and most appalling consequences We
make the following extract from an article in the
last number.
With this example, and with the example Of
France,-its first revolution leading through all
the stages Of anarchy, blood, and military tyran-
nv, to a restoration, its second, having
now, at the end nearly of its second year, done
nothing but destroy the prosperity which had been
enjoyed under the restored governmen,;--wi,h
these examples before them, what excuse before
God and posterny can be made for those states.
men, who, not contented with troubling the wa
ters, have poisoned them, and have wlllfully
brought this country into its present danger!-
crisis it cannot be called "a crisis ends either in
death or in recovery; recovery they have render
ed all but impossible, and the other alternative
for nation is far worse than death.-it is d Sc
ries Of sufferings to which no end can be assign
ed BY human foresight. Our revolution. il to this
it must come, will begin where that OF our fore
fathers euded,-in that dissolution OF principle,
that destruction Of order, that anarchy of opiui-
on, that disruption of society, that monstrous
fanatacISm, that more industrious lmpIe(y, lhdt
triumph of all that is base. all that is fasitous,
FROM which God in his mercy delivered US
0nce."
The same Review thus breaks out in another
place:
Three weeks have done what, We thought,
might have required three months, and which
others hoped it might take three years TO accom-
plish. The fictitious popularity of the King has
vanished; he has been menaced, insulted, assault
ed--all respect for monar~hca. government Is
gone-,he independence Of the House of Lords
has been annihiIated; and that power which halls
itself the People,-but which is really the combi
nation of illegal clubs and a lcentious press
has arrosated and exercises, uncontrolled, all the
real authority of the state"
From the tone Of these paragraphs, 1t is evil
dent that the Tories think the glory has d.
parted from Israeli" and the "sceptre from Ju.
dahl On the other hand, the Wings are pro-
claiming that Reform has but commenced. and
that it must 60 on until the whole 6 Augean sta
bic is cleansed."
