SULPHUR AND CnoLERA,--A statement
is published in the Louisville Journal,
which conflicts materially with the fact
of the supposed exemption from cholera
of persons employed about or residing
near Sulphur Springs. 1t would seem

theory that this disease is caused by a
poison called Ozoue, the natural antidote
to which is Sulphur. The statement IS,

Over this whole extent the natural soil

a heavy growth of timber. the whole of

\ LARGE DIAMoNDs.-So much specu-
lative curiosity has been excited by the
report that diamond of the size of a
hens egg, and valued at Sl60,000, had
been found in California, that we publish
the following scrap ofinformation, touch
ing large stones and their value.
There is large diamond in the pos.
session of the Grand Mogul. worth about
one million of dollars. The empress
Catherine gave an enormous sum to the
Sultan of Persia for a very large one,
which is at present in possession of the
Emperor of Russia. The Pitt Diamond
that was found in Malacca, was purcha ased
by the then Regent, Duke of Orleans, fol
twelve millions of livres. There is ais,
beautiful rose and rich blue diamond
belonging to the crown which still haug'
like an iguus fatuus in the political sky o
France. There are two iue ones be
longing tothe Austrian Crown, one o
which belonged to Charles of Burgundy
it was once sold for dollar, but after
wards cost Pope Julian twenty thousant
ducats. The crown of Portugal has one
weighing an ounce, and there is one d
nearly equal size in the Treasury of Rio
Janeiro. both of which were found il
Brazil. The largest diamond in the
world is at present in rough stale; it i:
in the possessionof the Portuguese gov
ernment; it was found in South Amerca
in the diamond district of Brazil, is about
the size of mallhen's egg, and it's esti

millions. This estimate is of course en-
tirely arbitrary, as there is no fixed ratio

ALLEGED DISCOVERY OF PANoTaER CALL
FoRNIA.-The London Times, in its city
articles, contains an announcement of a
golden discovery, which if true threatens
to rival the luck of Brother Jonathan:
The papers received from Port Phil
lip down to the 7th of February, contain
some curious. though vague accounts, oil
alleged gold discoveries in the neighbor-
hood ofthe Pyrennees district. The par.
ty said to be in sole possession of the Sc
crel was a shepherd lad, who refused to
divulge the exact spot where the aurfe.
rous deposit was concentrated; but he had
so far given color to his statements by
having disposed of specimens OF the ore
to individuals, who had brought them in.
to Melbourne. ........
"The people of Port Philip have al
gone demenled on the subject of gold
seeking. All sorts of stories are afoai;

large masses, has found its way into Mel

FROM IIle IsIhInus.

We add the following particulars,
brought by the Crescent City. They are
taken from the Orleans papers.
Among the passengers by the Crescent
City, it will be seen, are Col. Hughes, OF
the Typographical Engineers. and his
patty, who have been engaged in explo-
ring and surveying different routes for a
railroad across the isthmus. We learn
from Col. Hughes that he has been sue
cessful beyond his most sunguine expec-
tations. having ascertained and fully ex-
plored and surveyed splendid route,
from Limon, or Navy bay. to Panama. the
whole distance of which, from ocean to
ocean, is but forty six miles, and the sum
nit elevation only 275 feet above the Pa.
ci6c-the greatest grade on the Atlantic
slope being only twenty feet per mile,
and on the Pacific side forty feet, with a.
bundance of the finest timber and Other
material along the route.
Limou bay is not only free from any
bar. but has one oflhe finest harbors in
the world, with abundance of water for
the largest ships of war close up to the
shore, where the road will be located.
The works on the road will be com
menced Immediately, and completed and
in operation within two years.
We further learn from Col. Hughes
that besides the gold in the Crescent city
tpO millions more had crossed the 18th.
mus during Tie month Of May, portion
lofit only from California, and the balance
from the South, though part ofthe latter
had no doubt originally come from Cali
fornia also.
One ofthe passengers, James Sinclair
a native of New York. died on board OF
the 10th inst, at New Orleans. of cholera
aged about 80 years. His place of resi-
dence was Brooklyn, wither he was re
turning, after some years absence. with
fortune of $4,000. His family, con
sistiug of a wife, young daughter and
his molher-in.law, were with him OF
board of the boat. His child is also a
the point of death-not expected to sur
