ter ought to be at liberty to go wherever
they please, Immediately on the arrival of
the vessel at its destined port They not only
declare, in effect, that all Quarantine regula-
tons, which are founded on the assumption that
a contagious poison may remain latent in the sys-
tenn for a certain length of time. and that pro-
dictionary confinement is, therefore, necessary
should be abandoned but they come almost to
an unanimous decision, that patients suffering
with yellow fever may be removed from ship
board into the city without imperilling the health
of the inhabitants. Their theory is, that the per-
son is incapable of communicating the disease.
Let man undergo thorough ablution, put clean
clothes upon his back and you may set him adrift
with impunity. Sick well he then belongs,
they assert to that class of things which is styled
non-suscepible. The only danger of contagion
we are assured lies in the .tomies-in the apparel
which has been worn on ship board-in the beds
and beddng-in all animal substances that may
form portion of the freight, such as wool, silk
and leather, and in many vegetable substances,
such as cotton, linen and paper. All these are
ton'ites, and only these, according to the modern
theory, are capable of transmitting the poison, so
far at least as yellow fever is concerned 1t is
well to know these facts-it would be pleasanter
far to be convinced that they are perfectly
true. 1t would he still greater satsfac-
ton to learn that practical application of them
had resulted satisfactorily. If 1T can be establish
ed beyond cayil, that BY the adoption of proper
precautions yellow fever patients may be nursed
anywhere, even in the heart of populous cities
who undertake the charge of them, humanity
will be gamer by the experiment, and many
lives will be saved which are now sacrificed for
want of that careful and assiduous tending which
is frequently more effectual in restoring patient
to health than the skill of the physician or the
drugs of the apothecary.

SoUrH PAoIFIc.-The Honolulu Advertiser of the
18th March, says:
Dates from Australia to November goth bring
the intelligence that the French have repeated at
Iongatabu the same process that they initiated
in the Sandwich Islands twenty wears ago. Those
islands have been for number of years occupied
BY English missionaries of the Wesleyan persua-
sion, who have introduced, quite thoroughly, their
mode OF worship. Lately, several French priests
arrived at one of the islands, and the government
informed them that the King being absent, they
must await his arrival before they could be allowed
to land, the laws of Tonga specially providing that
no foreigners shall come to reside without his per-
mission. The Frenchmen, in great indignation,
Immediately sent off to neighboring island for a
frigate which was laying there, and which, without
loss of time, came to the rescue.
As was the case here in 1886, the naval power of
France compelled the people to receive the mission
aries of Rome, with the agreement on the part of
the natives that they should build the churches and
residences required by the Catholic teachers.

On the second of March, we published an adver-
tisement of series of articles accompanied by the
first of them a specimen, which the author pro-
posed to sell to those who appreciated their value
to the commercial interests of this city Such an
arrangement has been effected and the articles are
now in course of publication in this paper, at the
expense of some of the most intelligent merchants
of this city. The first, which was republication
of the specimen above referred to- appeared on our
first page on Wednesday last. The second one
will be found in the same place in this mornings
issue. The signature of "VIAToR' which the
author first assumed, and which has now been
substituted by his own initials "a. j. NJ" denti-
fes him as gentleman very well known to
have a chronic difficulty with the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, and this ''prvate grief" will, by
many, be understood to lend color to whatever
may emanate from his pen, on the affairs
of that Company. These two articles are
however, quite readable, and so far as their
object is to promote the dsentanglement of
the policy of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail
road from alliances interfering in the slightest de-
gree with the fullest reest and cheapest intercourse
between Baltimore and Cincinnati, they have our
hearty concurrence. We perceive in the violent
contest now going on between the great trunk
lines, mad competition which looks almost en-
tirely TO New York as the common sea-board
terminus of them ALL If this be an absolute ne
cessty, it may as well be understood and accepted
as such; but we have seen nothing as yet TO con-
vince us that this is the case. competition be-
tween the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and the
Northern lines, for the privilege of serving New
York, is one which can excite but little sympathy
here, in behalf of the road; whereas, if it were
making sacrifices to enable Baltimore to contend
with New York for commercial supremacy, it
would be sustained with the undivided suffrage of
the people of Maryland.

THE EXCHANGE MONTH"; Y ADVER Using

SUPPLEMENT FOR JUNE, 1859,
Will be issued from this Office promptly on the
first of june To insure this result, and to prevent
all mistakes and confusion, we shall decline to re-
ceive any advertisement for that issue after the
last day of May. The great success which has
attended experiment of monthly issue, we
accept obligation to still further exertion to
promote the interests of the community which has
so literally sustained us. We shall, therefore, in
crease our next edition to &c, 900, which will be
distributed as the last has been-grataitousy-
the business men of the West and South We
shall also send portion of the next issue into the
southern counties of the border free States, to
which Baltimore is the nearest seaport. We shall
larger sheet, to allow ourselves
for appropriate editorial matter, such as
we had in type for the first number, and which
necessarily crowded out. We say necessarily
because within the time which we allowed for ad-
vertisements to be handed in, to reject any,
while unoccupied space remained, would have been
to give some men an unfair advantage over others.
Some crept into late issue in spite of all
our efforts, which we hope to avoid in future; and
slider very valuable feature-shall present a more
minute analysis of the matters advertised, and be
better displayed than was practicable in our last.
1t will greatly promote our convenience, if those
who design to advertise in our June number, will
send in their advertisements as early as posi-
BILE, and will state the heading under which they
desire to be classed in the Index

BY the steamer Niagara, Just arrived at Halifax
we have startling news from Europe. Austria
seems all at once to have determined to submit to
the chances of war, in preference to making any
further concessions under the dictation of Sardinia
and France. Her peremptory demand that the
former power shall consent to disarm within three
days. or abide the consequences, comes upon us, if
not like a thunder-clap out of clear sky, at
least with the suddenness of the first peal in
tempest, the gradual thickening of which We have
been watching for some time. We have expected
it-been looking for t-but when it comes it does
not startle us the less on that account tseems to
prove that war is inevitable and so confirms the
truth of our previous speculatons to the probable
up-shot of affairs in Europe. Austria was placed in
a position, from which she could not retreat with
out dishonor, and where no alternative was
therefore left her but to fight. Thus
cornered, she has grown desperate, and
precipitated the issue which was sooner or
later certain to come. Nor is it at all re-
markable that she should have done so. Having
fully resolved to fight rather than recede, the
sooner the sword was unsheathed the better War,
with all its burdens, could scarcely be more ex-
pensive than peace coupled with necessity for
ornaments, such as Austria has recently been COM
PEELED to support while 10 Europe at large, any
change from the suspense of the last few months,
must be a relief Now that hostilities have doubt
less begun-for it is not going too far, in view of
the intelligence received, to anticipate as
much,-it is impossible to predict what
the result will be, or even to indicate the
probable course of the campaign. That
Italy will be the first battlefield is likely enough
but to what other scenes the war will eventually
be shifted, or what combatants may yet be led to
engage in the strife it is impossible to foresee and
therefore, idle to conjecture. Apart from that
measure of natural sympathy with which the
American people cannot fail to regard the cause
of Italy, by whomsoever espoused-it is the COM
mercial bearings of the news which most nearly
affect US, and which invite most serious consde-
ration. These we have already partially consider
ed in former articles upon the subject, and to them,
as further tidings of the progress of events reach
US from abroad, we shall have occasion to recur
