MONKEYS DYING OF THR CHoLBRA. The Port
Of Spain Gazette, of September 20, reports the
following singular fact from Trinidad Several
hunters and other persons who have passed
through the woods recently, report that they
find the monkeys dead under the trees in all di-
reotions. They appear to have dropped from
the trees overhead, either dead, or in the ago
nies of death. During the small pox' epidemic
the same thing was observed, and there can be-
little doubt in the present case they are attack
ed by the prevailing epidemic. Surely THE

been deducted from the gross total. Farmer
Armstrong was married but childless; his dame,
like himself, was a native of Devonshire. They
bore the character of plodding, taciturn, mo-
rose hammered couple, seldom leaving the farm
except to attend to market, and rarely seen at
church or chapel they naturally enough became
objects of suspicion and dislike to the prying,
gossipins villagers to whom mystery or reserve
OF any kind was..of course cxcecdingly annoying
and unpleasant. 90
Soon after Armstrong was settled in his new
purchase, another stranger arrived, and took up
his abode in tho best apartments of the house.
The new conner, a man Of about fifty years of
age, and evidently from his dress and gait, q
seafaring person, was lfts reserved and lnsoeial

The censure that has been showered from all
quarters upon Mr. Flagg's report on the Corpo-
ration advertising has ut last driven him to
attempt defence in the columns of the Jour
nal of Commerce. We give the docu nent
elsewhere, as 1t appeared in that newspa per;
that is to say, in the disguise OF an editorial
article: and now, the public may Judge be-
tween Mr.. Flagg and ourselves. The question
at issue lies in the smallest possible compass.
The law-whose merits may pass unnoticed
at present-says that the advertising shall be
given to the FIVE .ourDals which ,ffer to do it
at the lowest rate per thousand copies circu-
lated in the city.
Thereupon the HERALD, Times and Sun,
with two German papers, offer to publish said
advertising at lower rate per thousand papers
circulated in the city than any other journal
the HERALD's bid being the lowest Of all-and
claim the advertising accordingly.
Yet the Comptroller, moved by hatred ofthe
HERALD, which has exposed his Encouragement
of the city finances, makes an award in favor Of
four Of said five journals, excluding the
HERALD, whose tender was the lowest, and
substituting the POST the organ of the political
clique to which Azarah G. Flagg belongs.
When this award was made, Mr.. Flagg gave
as his reason Tor breaking the law in this
fragrant and barefactd manner, the following

WASHINGTON, Dec. %, 1854.
hasten to communicate to the HERALD the following
curious and highly important disclosures in relation TO
the official movements of Soule since his return to Mad
rid the inside history Of the 0stend Convention, the
FINAL submission Of Marcy to the policy Of that Con-
vention and the last card which the administration IL
about to play regain the sympathes of the American
people.
An Official letter has been received from Mr. soule in
which that gentleman tells Of his several interviews
since his return to Madrid with the chief officer Of her
Catholic Majestys government, the subject Of Cuba
but which met with favor from that fanctonary fur
Their than that tho suggestions should be placed before
his colleagues. The next day this was followed I'M
by demand for another interview with Espartero
by Mr.. Soule. This could not be given, the home
affairs Of Spain would require for some time to
come the undivided attention of the Ministry. Ear
ly that afternoon Espartero was seen in . calache
with fashionable lady Of Madrd some milesoutside Of
the city. Again interview was asked for, relative to
the Black Warrior affair." but with better success Mr.
soule asks from government definite instruc-
tons in the matter majority of the Cabinet Is In fla
vor Of immediate negotiation for the purchase Of
Cuba, with Cushing the champion.
II is stated, also, to me, that regular CONFIDENTIAL
correspondence has, for time past been going ON
between Cushing and soule that the exhibition of the
letters from Cushing made At Osend that copies Of
the same before this had been by him (soule) to
BUCHANAN and kason also confidential that these let

1t must be remembered that among other de-
viations from the conventional policy Of polite
cal parties under the old system, the Know No
things have not employed newspaper organs to
puff them, or to disseminate their doctrines
among the people. They have left them to
work their own way, and relied on the good
sense Of the masses and the Independent press to
promulgate them. The net result will be seen
more completely than people suspect, few
months hence.

II ID pos sible, a. the Journal hints. that the
Common Council may rel ect Flagg's report.
But If they do g., affection for US win We no
share In their motives. If we have Teen their
friends, where in the name Of goodness are their
enemies?
There is one suggestion In the Journal in
which we entirely concur. 1t says
The be pursued by the city, instead Of en-
poyng ave papers, is that adopted at WASH
paper employed in this servceon the agreement that
sufficient number OF copies OF the city ADVERT
shall be furns he'd to each department. to be obtained
by any citizen This will diminish the expense
produce fair competition the part Of the press and
prevent the combinations and arrangements now made,
aud than ALL the corruption TO which the present
MEASURE win give rise.
Undoubtedly. The city should act just a.
any private individual does, and endeavor to
obtain the greatest publicity at the smallest ex-
pence. For ourselves we care not whether the
Corporation advertisements appear in our
columns or not: in business light, they would
be no advantage; and they would consume
space which we can employ more probably.
We had far rather resign all claim to them
than see the city mulcted in q hundred thou
sand year Tor advertisements in five Journals
two of which are in foreign language. But
to zee the whole Corporation patronage used as
tool in the hands Of Flagg to crafty his pri-
vate pique, and reward bis personal friends, we
shall never submit; and, If we know the pub
lie, it shall not be done.

The LAST OF Mn. MITCHEL-We regret TO
learn that Mr.. Mitchell, from various causes, has
abandoned the newspaper he founded some time
since in this city. In doing 80 he complains,
we understand, that less liberty is enjoyed
here than he expected: having himself lost
thousands of subscribers by wishing for plan
tation in Alabama, and nearly as many by his
controversy with Archbishop Hughes We
submit that Mr.. Mitchell misapprehends the
subject of liberty. He is free, as every one
else is, to say that he would like to drive
Diggers on q plantation; likewise to fagellate
archbi.hops, as and how he pleases. But the
liberty is not al on one side. The public is
free on theirs to buy the newspapers they like
best. They are not bound to spend their
money as Mr. Mitchell pleases, any more than
he is bound to weite the articles they please:
both parties are free agents, and neither has
right to complain if in the exercise Of this mu-
tual liberty they do not suit each ether. We
have usually held tolerably plain course in
regard to slavery, though we have not sighed
for Southern plantations or an overseer's whip;
but the public have not withdrawn their sub
scriptions from Us in consequence. We also
have raped Archbishop Hughes pretty severe.

PROGRESS OF THE New PARrY.-It issartling

the doctrines are found in the tone Of the press.

manure in guano of any kind. Ammonia must
accumulate in guano deposits, unless there is
sufficient rain or moisture to evaporate or
wash it away. Men Of science say we cannot
increase the fertility of our fields by supply
of ammonia or by nitrogen. We need only the
phosphates Of the fish bones; and when the
phosphates are encountered with over fifty per
as in the rainless districts Of the Chinchas and
other islands, they are poisons instead of ma
nures to vegetation. Ammoniacal guanos,
such as must occur on the Galapagos, if guano
exists there at ALL have ceased to be of any
value where science and correct practice have
markets are well supple ed with a much superior
quality Of clean phosphate from rainy
districts, where showers have washed and car
ried off the poisonous ammonia. The Peru
Wan government by system of cheap certid-
Gates, such as are used in the sale of patent
medicines, have sold large quantities of the
ammoniacal guano. But it has been used most
ly for experiment, and is not likely to be fur
Their employ ed where its pernicious effects are
known.
The Cabinet have been guled by the selling
agents certificates concerning the ammoniacal
guano, and have busted themselves in nego-
tiating with Peru for the Chincha Island trade;
and failing in that, they have no doubt con-
cluded to set up for themselves in the GaIapa-
Cos rock trade They need not be in hurry.
When the poisonous properties of the ammo
niacal guano become generally known, as they
must before the close Of the present administra-
ton, its sale must cease, and then they may
buy the ChiDcha Islands for one-tenth part Of
the three millions Of dollars.
If the Galapagos rocks should prove to be
guano, phosphate, washed and purified from
poisonous ammonia, how could the government
aid agriculture with cheap manure, when, as
the story goes, the treaty is for sovereignty
only, and when, as is probable, the fee to every
loot Ofyock viii have previously passed to sub.
