From the Juvenile Souvenir.

!Spunk and PerH-There is n story,
which believe is fact, Of two boys go
ing to Jackhaw's nest from hole un-
der the belfry window in the tower of
All-Saint's Church, Derby. As it was
impossible to reach it standing within
the building, and equally impossible to
ascend to that height from without, they
resolved to put plank through the win
dow; and while the heavier boy secured
the balance by sitting on the end within,
the lighter boy was to fix himself on the
opposite end, and from that perilous sit
uation to reach the object of their desire.
So far the scheme answered. The lit
tie fellow took the nest and. finding in
it five fedged young birds, announced
the news to his companion. Five are
there replied he; 'then Ill have three
Nay exclaimed the other Indignantly,
Il run all the danger, and I'll have the
three You sha'nt,' still maintained the
boy in the inside; you sha'nt Promise
me three, or I'll drop you!' Drop me,
if you please;' replied the little hero !:
'but Ill promise you no more than two !:
upon which his companion slipped off
the plank.-Up tilted the end, and down
went tho boy, upwards Of hundred feet
to tho ground. The little fellow, at the
moment ofhis fall, was holding his prize
by their legs, three in one hand, and two
in the other; and they, finding them
selves descending, fiuttered out their
pinions insGnctively. The boy, too, had
on a stout carter's frock, secured round
the neck. which. filling with air from be
meath, buoyed him up like balloon, and
he descended smoothly to the ground: {:
when, looking up, he exclaimed to his
companion, Nov you shall have none !
and run away, sound in every limb, to
the astonishment Of the inhabitants, who
with inconceivable horror, had witness
ed his descent

A man missing.-Mr. Robert Simpson,
Of the town If Jackson, Washington
county, came to this city about three
weeks since, with small droye of cattle.
He disposed of them here, and received
his pay in cash. This amount, together
with some money which he received from
one of the banks in this city for note
discounted, made up sum of one thou
sand dollars or more. With this sum i'm
his possession, Mr.. s, has disappeared,
and has not since been heard from. 1t
10 difficult to arrive at the conclusion that
he has absented himself voluntarily; for
he was in good circumstances, owning a
valuable farm and having about $4,000
in money loaned out at interest. His
disappearance is mysterious, and creates
many vague and fearful apprehensions.
He was about so years old.

the physician as entirely past recovery,
the brother of the sick man bethought
himself Of the Medicated Vapour Bath
He hurried down to Mr. Carroll's estab-
lishment, in John street, and with all pos
sble expedition engaged MIR. G.. to at
tend at the house Of his apparently dying
brother with the necessary apparatus for
giving medlcated bath. No time was
lost. The body of the patient was plac-
ed in the bath--the anxious brother 60
ing in with it. BY rubbing the body as
the vapour increased in warmth, signs of
returning animation were shortly discern
able-perspiration was at length produ-
ced-and the result is, that the abandon
ed patient was yesterday in the streets
attending to his business.
On all hands, it is admitted, That it is
essential, in times like the PRESENT. to pre-
serve healthy state ofthe skin, that the
pores Of the body may all perform with
regularity their proper functions. Fol

NEW.YORK.

The first death which occurred in this
city by malignant Cholera, was at No rs
Cherry-strcet, on Wednesday, the 9th
June. Before Saturday night, the 3Oth,
four persons residing in that house had
died. On Saturday or Sunday, two men
died Of the disease at No Is, James slip,
after few hours illness. Previous to Sd
July, there had been l2 cases and IL
deaths, in different and distant sections
of the city. On the Sd, there were 8 ca
ses and 3 deaths. On the 4th, the exis-
tence of the disease was officially an
nounced by the Board of Health. On
the 9th, they commenced reporting a list
of cases and deaths. The numbers re-
ported from that time to this, are as fol-

ANOTHER CoRREsPoNDENcE.- is
stated in the Alexandria Gazette, that
there has been another correspondence
between Gen. Jackson and MIR. Calhoun,
which has again resulted in the complete
vindication of Mr.. Calhoun. The report
is that the President, feeling sore at the
situation in which he was placed by the
publication Of the first correspondence,
directed certain interrog atories to Gen.
Lacock, relative to the Seminole War
business, which he first enclosed to MIR.
Calhoun to give him an opportunity of
adding any farther ntorrogatorics he
might think proper to offer. Gen. La
cock, it will be .rccollccted, was instru-
mental in procuring an investigation Of
Gen. Jackson's conduct. MIR. Calhoun
is further said to have replied indignant
ly to this renewed effort to engage him
in controversy. The interrogatories
are said however to have been sent, and
Gen. Lacock to have returned for an
swer, that so far from Mr.. Calhoun's
having assisted in attempting to iDjurc
Gen. Jackson, for his conduct during the
Seminole War, he was instrumental in
shielding him from rcbuke and censurc,
and that Mr.. Forsyth was the prime mo-
yer in the whole business. We should
be glad TO learn further particulars rcla-
tive to this correspondence.

"Our theorists have also their fortunate
islands: they are the States of North A
merica. The Constitution of the United
States, still in its infancy, offers delight
ful prospect to their Imagination. Time
has not yet discovered its defects The
American republic has not yet cxpcrien-
ced the curse of all other republics, mill
tary power, and the hatred Of the rich
by the poor. And yet who among us is
fully acquainted with the politics of A
merica? How many amoug us know
that slavery in its harshest form, prevails
i'll many portions Of that country; that the
Ang nglo-Amcricans have driven out the
Indians with intolerable barbarity, to
make room for themselves"

Mr.. CALHoUN.-There are said to be
indications at the South, ofbringing Mr..
Calhoun before the public as candidate
for the office of President of the United
States. He has, heretofore, peremptori-

asserted that the people of South Carroll
ma will not allow him any discretion in
the matter. In any event, Jackson will
lose the vote ofSouth Carolina, as he will
most assuredly that Of New York, and OF

e. Progress Of The Cholera--We feel
much pleasure in announcing the almost
total disappearance of the cholera from
Montreal, after it has been among us
thirty-eight days. The total burials Of
all diseases yesterday, amounted to Z,
which is about the average number of
deaths in Montreal at this season Of the
year. Four Of these burials are stated
to be from cholera. The disease, we
are happy to perceive, has much abated
at Quebec, and other places where it
appcared.--.Nontreal Gazette, July 7M.

1t twould appear from this table that lit
tie more than one-third of the cases have
terminated fatally. We presume how
ever, the proportion of deaths is not less
than half the number of cases. For it
must be remembered that unless the pa
tient dies before his case is reported, we
have no information whether he dies or
RECEIVERS. This ought not to be so, but
so it is.
One word as to the number of cases
1t is undoubtedly true that several cases
have been reported as malignant cholera,
which were not SO. But on the other
hand, we are satisfied that still gre ater
number Of real cholera cases which oc-
cur are not reported to the Board, so
that on the whole, the numbers reported
arc rather below than above the truth
The disease is still more confined to
the wretched victims ofsensuality and in
temperance, than it was at first. There
are some exceptions, though the number
is small. But it ought to be distinctly
understood, here and every where, that
what the lightning accomplishes in the
natural world, the cholera does in the
moral. Both sometimes depart from the
nmain object Of their mission, but notwith-
standing these exceptions, the general
rule remains. And we think it would
not be bad deIineation Of cholera, tina,
it is Judgment Of God sent on unrestrain.
