place Of refuge for the Royalist party was now at

During the progress Of the insurrection the Diet
declared itself in permanence. tAt an early hour
they agreed to an address to the Emperor for the
removal OF Jellachch from Governor of lIunga-
~, to which the Emperor returned an answer that
ne would consider Of it. His flight, however, sub
sequently induced them TO assume entirely both the
Executive and delbera,ive powers Of tho nation.
The events which have thus hastily narrated
seemed pregnant with more important consequences
than any thing that has happened since the de-
thronement OF Louis Philippe. Should the En-
Peror endeavor TO crush the rebellion by summon
ing the aid OF Jellachich and Radeisky or by ap-
pealing to Russia, it is not impossible that France
might stepin on the side Of the democracy, and
thus create general war. 1t will also be impor-
tant TO observe what effect will be produced by tho

has been attempting similar course of stealthy

GREAT STORM.

On the 25ih utimo the coast of Florida was yis-
tied by severe storm, which caused some loss of
life and considerable destruction of property At
Tampa only four houses were left standing in the
village. All the Government stores, Sc, were
total loss. The water is said to have risen almost
instahtaneously. There was recession, but
wave was piled on wave, and whole streets SWEPT
of houses as it were in moment. Few Of the in
habitants were left with even change of clothing.
1t was the most furious tornado ever known in that
latitude, but fortunately its track was confined to
narrow scope. Key West, the south, escaped
1t altogether. and SO did Cedar Keys, the north,

THE CHOLERA.

Tie city authorities Of Washington have already
moved in the matter, and in New York the subject
Of preparing for the pestilence is being discussed.
DR.. John S. Bowroh has written letter to Mayor
IIavemeyer, giving SONS interesting facts, and
making Suggestions in relation to the cleanliness or
the city, which may be suited also or our latitude.
The following is an extract:
When Cholera first made lis appearance al Cal
cutta few weeks after its first appearance at Jes-
sore, it was completely governed by the crcum-
stances We have mentioned. IL is well knownt that
the city of Calcutta is in reality divided into two
parrs-the English portion, which has been desig
mated the CITY Of Palaces" and the native town,
which is madeupnf the miserable hIts and habta-
tons Of the poor and wretched people Of that coun
try. The English portion, in consequence OF its
cleanliness and free ventilation was almost totally
exempt from the ravages of Cholera while the ma
tive town, inhabfed>by the poor and destitute and
Astounding in all kinds of filth and uncleanliness,
was visited by the most fghifnl destruction of hu-
man life. The pestilence swept Though the town,
with all The destructive fury Of fire.
~'inevery Eastern city or town the same facts
were always observed. Cities situated on elevated
grounds, surrounded by pure air. and kept perfect
~ clean and well ventilated. uniformly escaped the
pesiilence, while all those places where different
condition Of things eSisted-cities built on low
grounds. surrounded by marshes acd malarious dis
'solating scodfge swept down Its victims by thou
sands.
In this country the same facts were uniformly
witnessed. All places abounding with accumua-
ted human filth and wre,chedness, the locali-
ties where the pesti'ehce spent its fury. In this
city, all thUse sections where vast Numbers were
congegated together in miserable habitalions reek-
Ing with pesilental human effluvia, and foul.
contaminated atmosphere, the disease spread with
desolang severity. while all those neghborho01s
where Clearly habita,ions, and pure, uncontamina-
ted air existed. there Cholera did not prevail
Nearly all tlruse cities in the United States which
are distinguished for the cleanliness of their streets
and houses and The temperance Of their Inhabitants
escaped The presidential Cholera The city of Bos-
ton, which is distinguished for it's clean and well
ventilated streets and houses, almost entirely es
capped from The ravaGes Of Cholera in 1882 s.
II wo,!ld be useless To waste time in enumeratinr
facts. which are precisely similar in every part of
the world. 1t is now fully demonstrated that with
ample and abundant means, and with full power in
the municipal authorities. almost every city in the
United States might escape from the favages Of
Cholera, or al least its visitation might he made So
mild, that it would almost pass by UNDECIDED.
