TnE CHoLERA.-By private letter
from Portsmouth, to gentleman in this
place, we learn that there were eight
cases of the Cholera in that place, on
Monday last.
In this connection we may state fact,
which is ofimpor,ance to citizens of this
region. gentlemen Of London & one
of Paris, who have devoted considerable
time to the subject and examined the
Cholera statistics Of the whole world,
state that it has never prevailed where
there was q sandstone formation, in

placed in the conclusions, which they
draw from this fact--that is that it is nst
likely to prevail in sandstone regions.
