than to "crawl off," or send Capt. Hollins back

perhaps, require increase Of his bail, as secu-
rity for his return to court at the appointed
time to answer for the destruction of certain
property; but that can be easily arranged be-
tween Mr.. Redield and John Cochrane Capt.
Hollins must 90 down again to Grey town. He
has expressed desire two fight two British
vessels of the size of the Cyane; it is very
likely he could whip them; and the admins

likewise very encouraging to the Forthcoming

this city and BrooklS n. that they have no doubt
that great many deaths have been eau ed this
summer by the administration by ignorant
persons Of over doses Of laudanum to cholera
patients. Laudanum is an excellent remedy In
the iDcipient stages of cholera, but it should be
given with great caution.
