place the cholera was fearfulIy raging
Up to the 18th ultimo the mortality OF
deaths was one hundred and City to two
hundred per day in Bridgetown alone,
and the malady was still on the increase
When the phoenix left there was no
abatement. The plague was almost en-
tirely confined to the lower classes aud to
the Incorporate, which it seldom failed to
carry off, but with those living temper
ately, and in regular moral habits, when
prompt applications were used, the dis
ease was generally arrested and the pa
tent recovered.
In one day the deaths numbered 24I,
and by the 18th ultimo the aggregate, as
well as could be asccrtaincd, was 2,I07.
Out of one hundred and fifty prisoners in
Bridgetown only thirteen have escaped.
The prison doors were thrown open and
the prisoners set free.

McKenzie's new Tax Bill has been ordered
Il BY the House TO be engrOssed, ana was set for
It's fnal passage on last Friday.
By reference to our legislative proceedings,
some Of It's provisions will be seen, as it passed
lie second reading. laa eags
The bill as it now reads Incorporates the de-
eisiOn Of the Supreme Court and cOmpels every
one to list for taxation every claim that is due
him, at its value in money, WithOu; regard to
the amount Of debts the lister may be owing
20 others. With the Constitution as il is, I" in
the hands Of is friends, " and the decision Of
the Supreme Court we do not see how this
could be made different. Those who are ro-
ped in by It, will please console themselves
with the reflection that it is one OF the blessed
results Of the progress which the dominant par.
ty has established for the benefit of the peo-
pie. 'fl'1
An effort was made 10 exempt all growing
crops from taxation, but failed; so the Auditor

Experience shows that these institutions cal
but barely exist as they are now fcstered an
that they are tax 10 the community in whic
they exist. They have been built by the char

The proposition to bring them on the tax liz
is destined::to create some sensation among th
friends Of education Of the State.
We await its fnsl passage and will advi,
our readers Of its provisions.

favored with a discourse ia the Court House,
BY Mrs. ME- Emerson. on the subject Of
" mans duties and womans' rights"
She entertained the company well for a
short time, but unhappily about the time we
were looking for some convincing arguments,
in proof Of the several propositions or truths"
advanced, she very much informed US that she
had " EO more to say" We are sorry that she
did not elongats little. for hei manner was
pleasing, and her defamation instructive
We are not much taken with the progressive
doctrine Of sc wOmans rights. nor did Mrs
Emerson enlighten US N uch on the subject
Her discourse was chiefly confined to the prais,
of the beautiful. angelic beings, woman. With
out giving us any practical lessons in relation
to "men's duties '""i'
