CHOLERA THIS YEAR.-There is much inquiry
among the nervous part Of the population whether
we shall have any cholera, or none at all, in the
city, this season According TO all accounts, and
in the opinion Of eminent medical Inen, we may
ticipate very healthy summer. The atmosphere
has been charged abundan,ly with electricity, and
we have had many refreshing and cleansing show
trs, which We did not have last year-and to the
deficiency Of thunder showers, last year, was at.
trlbu,ed the viralence and destructivsness of the
disease. Yet, though the Atlantic country, gene
rally, has been visited with these health ring
showers, accounts from beyond the Mississippi
state that electrical phenomena have been unno-
ticed there Cholera, and other pestilential spide
mics, after their first appearance, appear only 10
break ont in fpots, here and thsre, and with mit-
cation cf their original effects. The timid, during
the present season, think, will have no cause to
mp eheEd any uncommon danger.

FOREIGN POPULATION OF LARGE CITrRs-Re-
ton of the census law, show that nearly one half
of the population of Boston are foreigners OF
these, fifty-two thousand are Irish. The descend.
ants of the Pilgrims, largely engaged in manufac-
turiag, jobbng, and railroad speculations, gener-
ally reside out of town, building up other cities
such as Roxbury, .Charlestown, Lawrence, Lowell,
Worcester and other places, thus getting rid of the
metropolitan taxation, and some of them educa-
ting their boys at the Latin school, at the expense
of the city and its foreign population. A large
proportion of the inhabitants of New York, Phila-
delphia and Baltimore are foreign born, or Of for
eign parentage. Yet, notwithstanding this, it is
remarkable with what ready tact and prompt
pliancy our institutions mould these subjects of
king-governed countries into good republican cit-
zens. Our American institutions seem, at once, to
affect all their tendencies, judgment and charac-
ter Many of them, on arriving in this country,
become more thoroughly and practically Ameri-
can than the native born inhabitants themselves.
Such results spring from the free, liberal and
enlightened press--from the omnpresent and time
anticipating telegraph-and from our admirable and
and efficient laws and federal constitution, upon
which are based those harmonious State compacts,
so little understood by the British prses, but which
the novitate freeman feels and thrives under the
momen his foot touches the shore of the United
states of America.

1HE PAINE LIGHT-OnNoNS, DOUBrs, AND Cox
riENATloNs.--We publish a letter from Mr.. Paine,
aud several documents of considerable importance.
en- this interesting suhject-whic we have, through
the favor of NJ. RitteIband 6;9l Broadway, u copy
Of the second volume Of the Pcgl,'s Mlgasins
published in 1884, az Boston, IN which We find
reference TO an article in Silmans Journal Of the
sUms year, with respect TO the burning Of water.
This latter account, with other circumstances,
seems rather to justify belief in Mr.. Painc's
success, than TO throw doubt upon IT, sill, there
are those who viii dcubi, I'LL they are thoroughly
Illuminated.
One u.ng, We believe, is ccr,ain--thst Mr.
Paine hss disposed Of his own right t. the profits
aiming fem the invention, ard tht; the English
patent has already been sealed, under the auspices
OF distinguished house that y III have a consider

Worcester, which are in opposition to several ru-
mors OF failure and cxploson in this par, OF the

commemorate with our ambition TO be equal 10 the
desires and necessities of the public
The European news, Of commercial character,
is highly favorable 10 the American markets gene
rally. The great feature of the political news is
the beEef that Lord Palmers and the ministry
will be obliged 10 retire. Such change, a, this
time, would give new energy to the protection
party, and might bring about series of /" steps
backward" in the course of the next two or three
years. Our impression is, that Palmerston's
resignation, alone, may be advised, as saving her
Majesty the trouble-and it would not be rlght-
of forming new ministry.
The next arrival-and possibly the mails Of the
Pacifc-may throw some important light upon this
subject, now seen darky.

SOCIALISM IN THE UNITED STArEs.-We have
band of French socialists, called Icarans, making
an experiment. al Nauvoo, and trying TO wear the
boots and plough the lands OF the Momons. There
has been little community of Moravian socialists
IN Pennsylvania for several years past, who have
presented some of the most extraordinary phases of
morality and voluptuoasness that ever was imagined
in any Of Sues novels. A short time ago a com
munity Of Fouriierite socialists attempted TO estab-
lish themselves somewhere in New England but
they broke up in confusion and disorder in conse-
quence Of an attempt 10 Introduce in the intercourse
of the sexes, the grand philosophical maxims and
doctrines Of Fourier himself There is now,
fomew here in New Jersey, band of Feurer;e
socialists, endeavorng TO establish community in
that quiet state, with their headquarters in Phila-
derhia, and their exiIeinites all along the shores
OF New Jersey. Some curious things have taken
place among them recently, which will rather
aniuse, II not astonish, the community whoa ,rey
come out officially.
Socialism-Philosopbic and fashionable, as well
as ltcrary-has made many attempts TO re-oFganize
society in this practical nation, in the cities well
a. in the county places A historical account Of
their proceedings would be interesn. and amusing.
