sequences to commercial men must be Sc
verely felt.
The places where the Cholera has bro
ken out are all inhabited by the lower
classes, sailors shipwrights, and persons
connected with shipping. They are inn
mediately on the banks ofthe Thames
The Docks are all situated in Mapping,
Rotherhith, and Iimehouse, these are
on one side OF the River, Southwark and
Lambeth are Oh the opposite side. The
parish fire engines had been ordered out,
and were washing all the houses in the
streets and alleys where the disorder had
shown itself, 1t was stated in the House
of Commons during the debate, that DR..
Henry of Manchester, had ascertained by
experiments, that in the cases of typhusI
fever and scarlatna, heat, at degrees va
rying from l2O to 200, will disinect GER
tain substances which have been suppos-
ed to be the greatest conductors of dis
ease, and if this can be put in practice,
it is thought it would remove one of the
most material Instructions in the way of
commerce.
The Reform Bill was still in the House
7 of Commons. 1t had made some progress,
and it was positively asserted would pass
in about ten days; still, it is evidently ma
terially altered. The Ministerial papers
speak of it as deprived ofsome of its most
efficient provisions; but add, it is better to
take it in its present shape than not at al,
and that a reformed House of Commons
will have it in their power to amend it.
The agitation in Ireland had attained
AN alarming height; extraordinary mea-
sures had been resorted to by Govern
ment. The tithe system is clearly the
root of the evil
Belgium. The twenty-lour articles are
not yet ratified, although the French pa
pers continue to assert that they speedily
will be. At Paris all is tranquil, and the
Use in the French funds is a favourable
sy stem. I he Austrian troops it is said
are again about to evacuate Romagna.-I
We should however doubt this fact; GER
tain it seems to be that the French expe-
ditions is sent there solely for the purpose
Of restoring the authority of the Pope.
In the estimates for the navy presented
by the British Ministry to Parliament,
a reduction is made of one million ster-
ling from the amount of those of the pre-
ceding year. A strong indication we
should think that the Government look
forward to continuance of general tram
quilIty in Europe.
A letter from Lisbon positively states,
that full reparation was about to be made
by Don Miguel, for the losses inflicted
by his cruizers on American commerce.
"The American ships captured by the
Portuguese naval forces before Terceira
are about to be restored. The Portu-
guese commander who ordered the cap
ture is to be suspended for a year, and
I an indemnity of nearly 60O,O0Ol. is to be
paid by the Portuguese ;treasury to the
American merchants who may have sul-
fered losses by the detention Of the YES
sell"
The following has been issued from
the Council Office.
CHOLERA DISTRICTS.
"Looseness of the bowels is the begin
ming of Cholera.
Thousands of lives may be saved by
attending in time to this complaint, which
should on no account be neg glected by Ell
ther young or old,in places where the dis
ease prevails.
4 When cramps in the legs, arms, and
belly are felt, with looseness or sickness
at the stomach, when medical assistance
is not at hand, three teaspoonsluil of mus
tard powder in half Il pint of warm wa
ter, or the same quantity of warm water
with rs much common salt as it will melt,
should be taken rs a vomit and after the
stomach has been cleared with more
warm water, twenty-five drops of lauda'
mum should be taken in a small glass o
any agreeable drink.
Heated Plates or Platters to be appli.
ed to the Belly and Pit of the Stomach
As Persons run considerable risk o
being infected by visiting those suffering
from this Disease in crowded rooms, it il
most certainly recommended that onl,
such Number of Persons as are suili
cient to take care of the sick be admitted
into the room. W. MAcLEAN, Sec'ry.
