The business of the Tribune for the
year 1864 resulted as follows:
Receipts ST47,50
Expenses s735,75I
Profit sIll,75O
This is . very narrow margin for so
large an outlay-narrower than We we're
accustomed to. Il is due mainly to the
fact that, after We had received payment
for the bulk Of our Weekly subscriptions
a, very low rates, the price Of taper-
owing in good part to the depreciation Of
our National currevcJ-was so largely
enhanced as to subject US TO an actual loss
on most Of those subscriptions. We paid
moro for the bare paper sent to most Of
our subscribers during 1864 than We re-
ceived for the printed sheets But at the
prices We are now receiving, the business
of that year would have. netted a hand

advertising, were never before SO large
but we paid 1926. 900 for white p.per,

The Cholera at MarseiIies.

The United States Consul at Marsei lies has
addressed a communication to the State De-
partment, under date Of September %, 1868,
in which he says it appears to have taken its
origin from the excess of Mahommedan sacri
fees at Mecca the last spring, and to have
been brought to Alexandria by caravans of
returning pilgrims.
From the communication it appears that it
has made the tour of the Mediterranean Ito
raj, striking at a few ports with terrible power,
and driven back from the many By stern quar-
antine regulations. 1t found an entrance into
Smyrna and Constantinople, Staying thou
sands, and then into Malta, Ancona, Mar.
seiles, Toulon, La Sevna, Barcelona, &c.
making no appearance in the interior, save
It's present visit to Toulouse.
The quarantine regulations at Marseilles are
represented by the communication rs having
been in no wise strict, the principle acted
upon seeming to be that vessels and cargocs
might be infected, but passengers and baggage
not Hence, sailing vessels which have been
two or three months in coming from the East
are sent into quarantine, while steamers only
seven or eight days at sea land without him
drance passengers, with their baggage, fresh
from infected districts.
1t is alleged by some of the excited Marscl-
aise that the Minister of Agriculture and
Commerce will put in practice no regulation
affecting unproftably the business of the Mes
sageries Imperial, of which company he was
lately president. Others say he was subjected
to a forty days quarantine himself when visit
ing the East years ago, and there declared it
to be an intolerable nuisance.
A few cases of cholera in Marseilles were
scattered along through the month of July
In August the deaths averaged about twenty
per day. The average for the month of Sep
tember had been fifteen per day; the highest
recorded number being fttynine.
Thirty thousand MarseiIlaisc are reported to
have left the city.
Thousands of large bonfrcs are kept burn
ing in the streets at night, which is doubtless
acting as dsiniectant, as is indicated by the
fact that deaths have fallen from tifty-ninc to
thirty and again to thirty-two since
their introduction.
The physicians report fewer cases treated
with success than was the case in 1S49.
The first attack of the disease is generally
at night, and among the poorer classes.
Mr.. Van Horne concludes his communica-
ton with the opinion that the epidemic was
not generated by those causes which appear
to work periodically in Asia, but was acc-
dental in its origin, and will spend itself ON
the borders Of the Mediterranean.

From the Charleston News, Oct. 12.l

FROM tne charleston news, Oct lZI
Julian Mitchell, Esq, of this city, left here
some time since. on an important mission to
Washington city, in reference to the recovery
and speedy restoration to the owners of the
valuable lands on our Sea Islands. These
lands, comprising the finest Sea Island Cotton
soil in the world, has been, as most OF our
readers know, in possession Of the Freedmens S
Bureau, and it was for the purpose of getting
them out of that institution, and to enable the
owners to get possession of their property and
go to work, that induced Mr.. Mitchell to un
dertake the task.
VIM. Whaley, Esq, law-partner of Mr..
Mitchell, yesterday received advices that the
efforts for restoring the property had been
completely successful, and that after repeated
and anxious interviews with the President and
Secretary of War, Mr.. Mitchell had succeeded
in procuring general order for the restoration
of the lands to the respective owners.
In pursuance ofthese orders, Gen. Howard
will shortly visit Charleston, to make formal
surrender of them.
