For thorough prevention the metropolis
would need thorough reconstruction Of its
drainage; but without waiting for any plans
so tedious, the commissioners suggest imme-
dlate steps 10 improve existing arrangements,
TO cleanse out sewers, and augment the
draught of water. They do not recon-
mend any renewed use of cholera hospitals,
bat suggest the much more effective meas
ure of providing efiectual medical attend
ance at the houses Of patients The very
destitute can be taken to the fever-wards of
the union warehouses. The non-conta-
gion which is established on very strong ev-
ldence, is most important for its moral con-
sequences; on the former yisitstion Of the
cholera, the abandonment Of the sick was
common, fear Of infection being the mo-
tive. The admitted absence of contagion
greatly facilitates the treatment Of the sick
in every way. 1t will be desirable, as no
doubt it will be provided, TO give the medi-
cal officers authority TO enforce the needful
sanatory regulations on all places that come
within their observation. 1t is to be OBJ
served that theregulations and Improvements,
here indicated, will not be useless, even
should the cholera disappoint the general
fear and spare this land the same plans
will be of the greatest and most direct utili-
ty in counteracting fever and other general
ailments induced by bad atmosphere.--Spee-

When the allied army were in possession

tryman, of rather superior address, who ask
ed them to point on: the way to the Tuiler-
les, to which the reply was, that they were
going that way and should be glad OF his
company. The familiar tone of converse
ton Of the Emperor Alexander soon brought
out the stranger to converse, who after some
time, asked to whom he had the pleasure Of
talking, and the answer was, al am the

C61TThe Editor of the New York Courier states
that he recently met with soldier who served in the
battles before the city of Mexico. At Churubusco,
while crossing the corn-ield and within ten fifteen
rods Of the enemy, just as he was biting the end from
cartridge to load his musket, ball struck his tenn
pie, passed behind one eye, under the bridge of his
nose behind the other eye and out at the other tenn
pie! Being exposed to a fire rom our troops,
he thinks the ball came from them. 1t did not knock
him down. nor has he suffered any other result from
1t than the loss of sight, which is almost total He

tC7-Ihe wing papers are Safeguarding Mr.. Walk
er, the Secretary Of the Treasury, because he re-
mltted the tariff duties the iron brought over as
ballast in the frgate Macedonian on her return trip
from Ireland. She was one of our national ships,
which had been loaned by the government to carry
provisions to the Irish poor who arc starving under
British whig rule The facts, as the Journal of Com
MERGE says, are few and simple. The ship come
home, and must have ballast, if she to get home
right side up. 1t was quite well to bring some
thing worth bringing, to ballast with stones
or gravel. Glasgow house offered to ballast the
ship with pig iron, paying freight and duty as if it
had come by any other vessel. The Secretary of the
Treasury thought it right that Com DeKay
should have the benefit of bOth as some remunera-
ton for his disbursements rather perhaps, that it
would not be honorable or according to any law, to
exact duty ON the ballast of national ship. The
Collector Of New York, therefore, by order of the
Secretary, gave free permit for landing the goods,
and the amount of duty, S3 354, was paid TO Com.
DeKay by Boorman, Johnson g. Co., .consignees of
the iron, the freight having been paid at Glasgow.
Com. DeKay says he paid $4,000 out of his own
pocket on of the expenses of the ship and de-
cares that rather than have paid the duty the bal
last he should have retained possession of the ship at
still greater cost and have appealed to congress to
remit the duties and his costs.
The wing papers cndeavor to make capital out of
the refusal of Congress to appropriate five hundred
thousand dollars out of the national treasury for
the relief of Ireland, and at the same time curse
the Secretary of the Treasury because he did not
think it proper to make Com. DeKay pay 1884
freight, which it necessary to take on board of
the ship after her cargo discharged, that she
might be brought home safely. Our western whig
editors join in this cry, not because our "iron mas.
ters lose much ''protection," but simply because
they do not know that it is necessary for any ship to
carry ballast. Three quarters of them never a
ship in their lives, and if they should see one would
not know its use. Every Irishman can teach them
about shipping, and the necessity of ballast well
