The ChOlerd.--We respectfully beg
leave to call the attention of our citi-
zens to the devastation, which this pes
thence has spread over many towns
in the West for the last few weeks,
and to suggest the propriety and inn
portance of getting all things ready to
mitigate the stroke, if it should visit
= + village. During its rage last sum-
mer and fall we were signally favored,
but we should not be lulled into Sc.
curity by our past good fortune. A
board of health has been nominated by
the town authorities, but we are not
aware thata any steps have been taken
to render the body useful or efficient.
1t has not been as yet organized. We
should surely not delay the precauti.
onary regulations until the disease
breaks out among us and a panic is
struck into every breast. Prevention
is better than cure;aye, it is surer and
easier.

SlaveS.-The manner Of purchasing
slaves in Turkey is thus described in
the plain and unaffected narrative of q
German merchant:-The girls were
introduced to me one after another. A
Circassian maiden, eighteen years old,
was the first who presented herself; she
was web dressed, and her face was
covered with a veil. She advanced
towards me, bowed down, and kissed
my hand. By order of her master
she walked backwards and forwards
to show her shape and the easiness of
her gait and carriage. When she took
off her veil she displayed bust of the
most attractive beauty; she rubbed her
cheeks with wet napkin, to prove that
she had not used art to heighten her
complexion, and she opened her invi-
ting lips to show set Of teeth of pear
ly whiteness. | was permitted to feel
her pulse, that | might be convinced of
the good state of her health and con-
stitution. The price of this beautiful
girl was four thousand piastres.

THE VIEW OF O'CONNEL,

"A very intelligent Nlrglnlan, says
the Richmond Compiler, dined with
Mr.. O'Conneli and others at the House
of Mr.. Hume in London, last Fall.
He found the Irish Patriot communica-
tive and bold in stating all his views.
He was asked by the Virginian, a.
mong other things, whether it was his
wish to separate Ireland entirely from
Great Britainl--And whether Ireland
could exist in that situationl-He re-
piled at once-that he was fully aware
of all the difficulties Of supporting Ire
land in separate condition--that such
was not his wish or design-and that
he was merely DESTROYS of restoring to
Ireland her Parliament, and of making
her bear to the British Government the
same relation which one of the Ameri-
can States bears to the Federal Gov.
ernmcnt.

years ago on education in the United
States, and afterwards figured in the

ties OF public trust and religious prin-
ciple." In a letter to the editor of the
Quebec Gazette, the contents of which
we cannot comprehend, (for he seems
to be complaining IF some fancied
wrong) he says

CURIOUS ATTEMPT AT SUIcIpE-On

ne heard strange noise in the water.
and on looking closely he saw some
thing ducking about, pulling like a
grampus. Having obtained assistance.
he fshed up an old lady who is well
known IN our market, who had thrown
herself into the water with an inten.
ton to end at once her share of the ills
which flesh is heir to. The water,
however, most ungallantly refused to
ADMIT her into its embraces, and the
strange noise was caused by the old
lady ducking her head in order to force
a descent to the bottom. When she
was thwarted in her intention, she vent.
