ston, to ascertain whether the appointment of a
the visitation of cholera in Great Britain, received
the following reply:
"WmTEHALr, Oct. 10Th, 1853.
''SIR: I am directed by Viscount Palmerston to
acknowledge the receipt Of your letter of the 18th
inst, requesting, on behalf Of the Presbytery of
Edinburgh TO be informed whether it is proposed to
appoint day Of national fast on account Of the Wis
taon Of the cholera and to state that there can be
no doubt that manifestations OF humble resignation
TO the Divine viii, and sincere Acknowledgements of
human unworthness. are never more appropriate
than when il has pleased Providence to afict man
kind with some severe visitation; but 1t does not ap
pear to Lord Palmerston that national fast would
be suitable TO the circumstances of the present mo-
ment.
"The Maker of the Universe has established Ger.
tain laws of nature for the planet in which we live
and the veal or woe Of mankind depends upon the
observance or neglect OF those laws. One of those
laws connects health with the absence of those gas
eous exhaations which proceed from overcrowded
human beings, from decomposing substances
whether animal or vegetable; and those same laws
render sickness the almost inevitable consequence
OF exposure to those noxious influences Bat it has
at the same time pleased Providence to place it
within the power Of man TO make such arrange
ments as will prevent or dispense such exhalatons
80 as to render them harmless and is the duty Ct
man to attend to those laws of nature and TO exert
the faculties which Providence has thus given to
man for his welfare.
''The recent visitation Of cholera, which has for
the moment been merciiully checked, is an awful
warning given to the people Of this realm that they
have too much neglected their duty in this respect
and that those persons with whom it rests to purify
towns and cities and to prevent remove the
causes of disease have not been sufficiently active
in regard TO such matters. Lord Palmerston would
therefore suggest that the best course that the peo
pie of this country can pursue to deserve that the
further progress of the cholera should be stayed
will be to employ the interval that viii eapse be-
tween the present time and the beginning Of next
spring in planning and executing measures by
which those portions of their towns and cities
whichare inhabited by the poorest classes and which,
from the nature of things, must most need puri6cs
ton and Improvement, NAV be freed from those
causes and sources Of contagion which, if allowed
to remain, viii inlialbly breed pestilence and be
fruitful in death, in spite of all the prayers and
fastings Of an united but inactive nation When
man has done the utmost for his own safety. then
is the time to invoke the blessing of Heaven to give
effect TO his exertons. l am, Sir, your obedant
servant HENRY FITZRoT.

IMPORTANT TO ABSENT HEIRs.-It is said that ow-
ing to the great mortality at New Orleans, caused
by the late epidemic, large amounts of property
have been inherited by absent heirs who reside in
different States of the Union. BY the law of Lou

ment of lquidated debts, so that all partnerships
or subsequent contracts are null and void. The
absence of the lawful heirs has opened wide field
