RUSAwAY.-There was lively runaway
in South Memphis yesterday evening,
about five o'clock A span of horses,
attached to wagon, started along Her
nando street at furious pace, without a
driver, turned down South street, ran
against an awning post in front of Kauf
mans store, corner of Desoto, breaking
the post and coupling, and sending the
hind wheels on an independent trip
They were checked before proceeding
much farther by a man. Much conster-
nation was created among the children
in the neighborhood, many of whom were
playing on the street, and it is a wonder
that none were injured.

THE LATE ARREST OF SUSPICIOUS CHAR
ACTERs--On Wednesday night, officers Yer
non end Morgan came across a band of five
negroes and a white man. in a stable near
BenniBg's Bridge, and took them in custody,
but on the way 10 the station the white man es-
capped, as we have heretofore noticed. Thurs
day morning, the cOlored men were committed
10 the wOrkhouse by Justice Walter. On the
following night the white man, whose name is
LOUIS DumaZeaud, was rearrested by officer
Crown, 10 whom be acknowledged that he had
been in several chicken and pig stealing expe-
dItions with the colored men. The colored
men were brought out of the workhouse by
Sergeant johnson, and last night. with the
white man, they were arraigned before Jus
tice Walter, when DumaZeaud reiterated his
statement The colored men strennously de-
MED having been on any such expeditions, but
one Of them stated that at the time the police
came upon them they heard the cry Of muir
der, and DumaZeaud was out at the time. JUS
uCe Walter committed the entire party TO Jail.
1t is thought that this party may have had
something to do with the burglary and muir
der at lexington on the Sd inst. Mr.. A. LLOYD
appeared for the prosecution.

From tie 81. TNomas Times, December H.

VIZ showed in our last issue that at
noon of Wednesday the 28th ultimo, there
had been seventy-one deaths from the
malady with which we have been so sud-
denly visited, and that there were eight
patients in hospital at that time. We
again furnish a table to-day shelving
what is the condition Of things from that
time. 1t will be seen that a very great
decrease both in patients and deaths has
taken place, and that if in our human
wisdom we may be allowed TO express an
opinion, it is reasonable to predict hat
the malady is now speedily passing away,
or we might almost be tempted TO say it
has passed away. Particularly if we
should take as a criterion the mortality
as it t%ranspired in 1853-54, when on the
4th of February of the last mentioned
year, the TSdende speaking of the mortal
ity, which of course had during two
months been so frightful, congratulated
the public, when the deaths were about
eight per day, that the disease could be
said to have disappeared. 1t will be re-
membered in this instance our first alarR
commenced on Sunday the 18th ultimo
SO that we have had to-day fourteen days
OF sickness of this particular kind, and
that eighty-three deaths have resulted
therefrom whilst the mortality from gath
December 1853 to 18th February, 1854
amounted to 1916. From the foregoing
many useful deductions can be made.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,-We observe in your paper of to-
day a long extract from the Lancet on the
subject Of "suitable drinks" in cholera
seasons, and think it a duty we owe to
the public to point out one, the excel
lence of which we can vouch for from our
own experience.
We have used it largely among our
employ6s at Millwall and Cubitt-town with
the most beneficial effect, and as our
works are in the very centre Of the dis
trict where cholera has been so prevalent
we are satisfied of its real merit. We
refer to the Angostura bitters imported
from Venezuela, which have long been
known and extensively used as a proven
tive for diarrh@a in the West Indies and
South America, where this disease perlodi-
cally prevails.
From the small quantity required it is
a very cheap, agreeable, and effective re-
medy for a fearful and dangerous disorder.
We are, Sir, your obedient servants.
