CITY BURIAL GROUND.

We have heard frequent complaints
of the bad condition of our City burial
ground. A friend requests US to call
the attention Of our citizens to the
subject, and urge its proper enclosure
and Improvement. For a very triling
sum tasty enclosure could be put I'd,
walks laid off, graves refiIled, and the
entire enclosure sown in blue grass. In
its present neglected condition, it will
be difficult matter in few years to
dig new graves without infringing upon
old ones. Fit were put under the es.
pecial care of some ono to properly
lay it off and improve it, and take
charge of the digging Of all graves, q
system could be established which
would prove highly beneficial, Us wei
as beautify the place. Persons who
have friends and relatives buried, offer
desire to visit their final resting place
and although i, can add nothing to the
comfort of the dead, still it would be
q source of pleasure 10 the living, te
find that place in such a state of i'm
provement as would render a visit a.
least comfortable.
This is the proper season for sucl
improvements, and it is TO be hopec
this subject will be attended TO. ..

CuoLERA.-By reference to another
column, it will be seen the Mayor, al,
the request of the City Council, has
made statement in reference TO the
health Of our place. This statement is
induced by the many rumors which
have by some means or other, got into
circulation. in reference 10 the preva.
lcnce of Cholera at lhi, point, much to
the detriment of the interests of the
pluce, and The peace of many citizens.
We are rejoiced to learn tina, this
scourge is abating in the South. We
notice by the 81. Louis papers, that
there is but little or none on boats, ar
irving there from the South, notwith-
standing they are in many instances
crowded with emigrants. Upon inqui-
ny, we also learn, that boats passing up
our river, in the last few days, are en-.
trely free Of the disease. When the
California emigration shall have passed
and boats are no longer so crowded.
we trust and believe there will be but
little Cholera in the country.

BRILLIANT WHITEWASH.

As The season for white. washing is
approaching, we canno, do our readers
a better service than by giving them
the receipt for the brilliant s,ucco white.
wash used with such effect on the east
end of The Presidents House at Wash
ington. The National ln,elligencer and
Scientific American endorses its cor.
reciness.
Take a half. bushel of nice unslacked
lime. slack il with boiling water, and
cover il during the process to keep in
the steam. Strain the liquid through
fine sieve or strainer, and add 10 it a
peck of clean salt, previously well dis
solved in warm water; three pounds
ground rice, boiling to thin paste, and
stirred in boiling hot; half pound of
powdered Spanish whiting, and pound
of clean glue. which has been previous
Iy dissolved by first soaking it well, and
then hanging it over a close fire, 10 a
small kettle within a large one filled
with water. Add five gallons of hot
water TO the whole mixture; stir it well
and let it stand a few days covered
from the dirt. 1t should be put on right
hot; for this purpose, it can be kept in
kettle on a portable furnace. II is
said that about one pint of this mixture
will cover square yard upon the out
side of house if properly applied.
Brushes more or less small may be
used, according to The nea,ness of the
Job required. 1t answers as well as
oil paint for wood, brick or stone, and
is cheaper. 1t retains its brilliancy for
many years. There is nothing of the
kind, that will compare with it, either
for inside or outside walls.
Spanish brown stirred in will make
it red or pink more or less deep accor.
ding to the quantity. A delicate linge
of this is very pretty for inside walls.
Finely pulvcrized common clay, well
mixed with Spanish. brown before il
is stirred into the mixture, makes a
lilac color, very suitable for The outside
of the building. Lamp-black and Span
ish- brown mixed together make a red
dish stone color. Yellow ochre stirred
in makes yellowish wash; but chrome
goes farther, and makes color gener-
ally esteemed prettier. In all these ca.
SEES, the darkness of the shade of course
is determined by the quantity of color.
ing used.
When walls have been badly smoked
and you wish 10 have them a clean
white il will do TO squeeze indigo plen
rfully through bag into the wafer you
use before it is stirred in The whole
mixture.
If a larger quantity than five gallons
is wanted the same proportions should
be observed.

Markets.
CoTToN.-Owing TO The unfavorable
accounts from the Continent, cotton has
suffered further decline at l.Sd. per
pound. The stoppage of supplies from
the Baltic is beginning TO be favorably
felt in the market for breadstuffs. The
actual advance however during the
past week, owing to other adverse cir.
cumstances has been but slight. Money
continues very plenty, notwithstanding
the recent heavy drains of specie. The
commercial accounts from the East In.
des by latest overland mail are regar.
ded as very satisfactory, From the
manufacturing districts the accounts
are less encouraging, though there has
been no diminu,ion of employment
In Cotton the decline of l.sd. applies
more to common qualities American
than to any others.

town >and whereas the best and only sure
mode in which that important and most dcsra'

in the most efficient measures, such as are al
wavs resorted to by all well regulated commu-
mites to ensure the gradual liquidation, and the
ultimate payment ofthc debt, within some rcas'
