creased than diminished, until at last it be
came furious, and the passengers nearly so.
There were open Complaints, and one man

A MAN ATTACKED NY MONKEYS.
The Escant, Of Antwerp, relates nm
incident which occurred last week 10
the geological Gardens Of that town.
ln the evening, one Of the keepers,
armed with long whip, entered the
large cage of the monkey tribe for the
purpose of driving them bacx TO their
! respective compartments. All the in
mates scampered off to their cages with
the exception Of one Of the Oldest and
largest, which obstinately refused TO
come down from his perch, and on
receiving a sharp lash with the whip,
il leaped on the keeper, got astride on
his shoulders, and began to scratch
and bite him with great fury. The
keeper beat the monkey with the han
die of the whip, and would soon have
got rid of him, had not the other mon
keys come to their companions assist
ance and joined in the attack. Thus
assailed, the man was obliged to cry
out for hep, when several Of the keep
ers hasted to the spot, and on their
approach the animals took to fight.
The man, who was terribly scratched
and bitten in twenty. three places, lost
50 much blood that he was obliged to
keep bis bed for two days.

IMMIGRATION INTO THE SoUTH.--
There is very large increase in the
arrival Of imm grants from Europe at
Northern ports, and il is estimated
that at the end Of the year upwards OF
two hundred thousand will have ar.
rived. Hitherto the North, unopposed,
has retained theimmeDse labor capital
which Europe yearly furnishes, and to
this is Largely owing the immense de.
velopement Of Its material resources.
Now, the South needs all it can get Of
this labor capital. We believs there
is strong desire throughout the
Southern States 10 recruit their indus.
try from the North and from Europe.
This being the case, active measures
it seems to us, should be taken with.
out delay. to that end, ~
4 cotemporary suggests the estab-
llshment of emigration societies and
agencies throughout the South, to CO.
operate with those in the North. with
view TO secure a large share of the
immigration from Europe. That may
answer for the present, but, in our
opinion, if the inducements to- emil:
grants to settle in the South were
clearly set forth and made known in
Europe, we should soon have tide of
Immigration setting in toward the
Southern Portsythat would 90 far
toward relieving the anxiety now felt
10 regard 10 the adequacy ofthe labor
supply for the requirements Of profta-
BILE cultivation. Much aa EN-, emigration e,
has done for the North, it can and
will do more for the South, because the
field for the development Of It's ener.
gles is far superior in all respects.
Let US move in this matter without,
delay. To the extent to which we In 1
crease our white population aud aug.
ment our productive labor BY immi
grafton, to that extent we shall be re.
lieyed from absolute dependence on

HoT WEATHER IN INpfA.--Not
for many years, says Calcutta cor.
respondent, June 10th, has such Ter.
rible heat been felt as that which ia
now affecting India. Myexperience
Is that, without great discomfort, Eu-
ropeaus may tolerate a temperature
Of 80 degrees, and that, except in
the afternoon, the thermometer sell
dom rises higher than 81 degrees or
SO degrees. But this year the day
begins with that temperature, and
before the sun sets it rises as high
as SO degrees.
In Bengal the exhaustion caused
by this is increased, owing to the
rain which has fallen so frequently
out of season, But all is green and
beautiful around SO wonderfully fer
tile is the soil of the Gangetic delta,
and SO long does 1t retain moisture,
that 1t never presents a parched up
appearance. Not so in Upper and
Central India, where the whole ok
panse OF country presents the aspect
OF barren desert, and where the hot
winds, which Lower Bengal does not
experience, blow with scorching vio-
lence. #CA9 a
A correspondent informs me that
In place close to the Nerbudda Val
ley, where SO many of the artillery
men persisted from cholera, he can
not keep the temperature under 80
degrees and 100 degrees with all the
cooling appliances which can be en-
ployed. Cholera is, of course, ram.
pant, and what that is doing in the
plains malarious fever is accom-
plishing among our Sepoys on the
frontier. A third force is suffering
chiefly from unavoidable delay in
erecting the huts and the early pc
Rod at which the rains fell. A visit
to Simila has restored Gen. Tombs
to health, but the officers are pining
either for action or to be relieved.
Again come the usual rumors from
correspondents in camp that Longso
Penlow has collected a large force,
and waits only for the great rains to
tall---they are due in few days
to make a series of attacks. The
heat at sea is far greater than on
shore. Several ships driven back to |
