as in London and Paris, the general symp-
toms Of the cholera are much less painful
here than were exhibited in those cities.-
! Vomiting and diarrhGa invariably take place,
but there are few cases attended with violent
agony, and many have gone off without any
decided suffering. Gold perspiration Is an IN

cour of the disease is exhausted, and that
medical aid will restore her to her family.
Ne,o Mechanical po,cer.-An ingenious me-
chanic at Brussels has just applied a new pow
| er to mechanics, from which great results APP
pear TO be expected. This new power is gal
vanism. Across fy-wheel which is to give
motion to the machine he has placed me-
talc bar, previously magnetised by galvan-
ic pile, and within the attraction Of two very
powerful magnets. The moment that the
bar arrives in a rotary course at the limit Of
the attractive power, and where it would ne
J cessarily stand still, the inventor, by the APP
plicaiion of galvanism. suddenly converts the
attractive into repusive power. which con-
| tinues the motion in the same direction. and
by these alterations, well managed, the
wheel acquires rapid rotation. The exper-
iment is said to have been completely success
ful, and the machine worked for whole hour.
