(Madrid (July 11) Correspondence ot the London Times.) ‘There is no very important news to-day from the Yoain body of the insurgents. It is probable that by this time ‘are at the Pass of Despedapere’s, ia which-direction they were marching at the date of ‘the last_advices. The government teoops are at Manzanares, or beyond it. If the leave their infantry to hold the pasa, their parsurers will be stopped there. In any case, there seems little hance of Gen. Blaser ovei ing his adversary, which we are bound to suppose that he wishes to oD ake the latter thinks proper to wait for him. \ceta’s surprise of Cuenca was a very skilful and bold operation. Quitting O’Donnell’s colamn, he Wade a ref de movement in a northeasterly direction, g almost within sight of the gov- ernment Cuenca is built upon a peak, down the:scarped sides of which the town (which is the capital of the province of the same name) 3s built. From its situation, it is most easy of defence; but the authorities were unsuspicious of danger, and unprepared ist, The Cee Bon consisted but of 100 site who joined the insurgents. This latter fact is not mentioned by the government, who speak as if there had been no troops in Cuenca, but 1 can assure you that it was fnnounced in the despatch received by the minister. i also say that the insurgents had left the place. My information induc?s me to belteve that they still wccupy it. A few hundred resolute men, such a3 evidently composed the band in question, might hold it against 3,000 or 4,000 troops, owing to ita peculiarly strong position. I have spoken with Persons here who know Buceta well, and have Served with him in former insurrections, and they Bl represent him as a daring and able leader. A portion of the column from Bargos entered Madrid this *morning—tae Pavia cavalry, the in- fantry of the Rey, aud the 12th ment. The other portion ia not pet arrived, and it is said that it has gone, or'at least a part of it, in the direction bf Cuenca. Buveta’s occupation of that place forms & sort of connecting link between the insurgents in Andalusia and those in Valencia. These latter in- Crease in force, and it is no longer possible for the ininiatry to conceal the very disturbed state of that rovince. Here is what the Espana gives to-da: om the Valencia Diario Mercantil of the 6 iti— ‘The authorities having received intelligence shat come places near the seashore had * seat peal Captain- eneral sentout yesterday by the railway, at three in the morning, a foree of cavalry, infantry, and civil guards, to oxintain order in that district.

As, owing to the frequent suypression in the Madrid post office of the letters of the correspon- dents of the English papers, nearly ai! the accounts that reach Paris and London are those that evident- ly proceed from government writers, and as these Continue toimpute to General O’Donzell’s troops all Mapper of extortions and excesses, I think it weil to send you an extract of a letter I have received to- day from a foreign gentleman resident in this vicinity, who bas been for years ia and near Mad- rid, who has no intérest to disguise the trath, und Whose character puts his doiegso entirely out of the question. Limplicitly believe all that he writes to me, and it moreover coincides in al] points with my information from other trustworthy quarters. “1 have taken great pains,” he says— To ascertain the truth or falschood of what has ap- are in print by euthority, as to the ropberies, &c., by the insurgents at Arapjuer; and I have convinced myself ining that bas been said respecting their cb- 48 without payiug for them, forcing the coun- to furnish them with rations gratis, and so sis tiseuo of fulsehoods. Instead of complaining of their conduct, the inhabitants of Aranjuez were de- lighted to bave them, because they had plenty of money, syent it freely, ana paid for everytuing they had, ao much po that, had op remained there a little longer, thay would, they say, have hardly felt the absence of the usual ppring ©‘ seaset.!?

Upon the other hand, rations furnished 36 hours’ later to the Queen’s troops are, as I am inform @d and believe, unpaid for up to the present time. From another source I leara that, a few days ago, theinsurgent generals fi taeir troops into a square, and addressed them, reminding m that they were not a “faction,” bat a constitational par- ty, murching ina friendly country, and that they must be csveful not to forget this, or to disgrace themselyes by robbery or maltreatment of the peo- pie, for any one who was proved to be guilty pf such mdact should be instautly led out and phot.

NEWS OF THE SCHUYLER FRAUDS IN ENGLAND. The London Times, of July 18, has the following in its money article columa:—‘‘The advices from the United States to-day by the Canada, which has brought £48,000 in gold, contain nothing new re- garding the stock and money markets, excepting that a tendency to recovery had been suddenly checked by the failure of Messrs. Robert & George Schuyler, who had long oceania in railway affairs a leading position. Their liabilities are supposed to. be extremely heavy; but the serious illness of Mr. Robert Schuyler and the absence in Europe of the bookkeeper of the firm had prevented the publica- tion of ang statement of their affairs. An siete tion was held out that with time the assets wii folly cover all tle debts; and, although this assertion too common to be worth ap; ig, it is not impro- bable that in abetter state of the money market a rise in railway securities may be witnessed suffi- cient to cause its fulfilment.” The Gold Movements of the World. (From the London Gazette, Jaly 24.) The flux and reflux of the tides of the ocean is a subject of much general interest, and one that has lately engaged increased attention among persica phere and mariners. The currents of the sea ave thns been tolerably well studied and mapped; and a‘closer investigation of these phenomena an: observations of the nature of the prevalent winds have led to great improvements in navigation, by ‘ably the passages ‘merchant ships from portto port. But the laws which regu- late the flow of the tides and currents of the ecean, and cause its periodical rise avd fall on the coasts and in the rivers, are yet very obscure and not tho- roughly understood. ‘here is, however, a tidal current more irregular still in its ebbing and flowing; for picket gov- erned by certain laws of apy and demand, it is extremely difficult to follow it in its circumnaviga- tion of the’globe;‘and it alters ita course so frequent- ly and go rapidly that no two years’ observations respecting it will be found to agree. It is influenced so materially by the fluctuations of commerce, by the healthy or adverse condition of trade, by the tmuigration and industrial energies of popes, by the increased demand at cer! peri for food and luxuries, that all the facts and observations relating to it, be accumulsted “and systematized, will become eminently useful to future statista and political eco- nomists. It is only within the last four years that its currents have worn for themselves certain beaten channe)s, and have become more clearly defined; its visible course is thus to some extent now mar! out by distinctive characters and appreciable fea- tures. Before the ; Ge pig’ ya Seemed superiority as a recorder of fac! whis! now Ghatasteriied, and through whose oobi the arriv- als and departares of apecie, and its periodical flit- tings hither and thither, are as regularly recorded as the migrations of those by whom it is s0 highly esteemed, and to whose industrial labors, it owes its roduction and dispersion for the benefit of man- ind, it ‘would have been utterly impossible ina lifetime to make any simultaneous observations on the collection and diffusion of the precious metals. Now, the task is comparatively easy. The great metallic tide, starting from the north- western coast of America, flows through the golden gates of San Francisco Bay, makes for the Isthmus of Panama, where, after a temporary obstruction, and the receipt of addftiona! supplies to its volame from the southern ports of America, it bifurcates into two streaws, the larger making directly for the Atlantic ports of the United States—New Orleans and New York the smaller tide proceeding through the Caribbean Sea and the West Indian group to Great Britain. Having reached New York, a steady periodical reflux of the metallic tide carries it forward to the British Channel and the coasts of Europe. Another strong set of the stream makes for the Mediterranean, and, passing across the [sth- mus of Suez, ultimately disperses itself on the shores of the Indian Presideacies and the Chinese ports. The next great current of the golden tide we have to notice proceeds by irregular channels from the leading ports of the vust continent of Australia, and doubling one or other of the two southern capes, it eventually reaches the river Thames. Here a great embankment has been raised by the wisdom and labors of the British nation to check its too rapid efllex; but the impediments offered, and the strong walls of the bank, are insuf- ficient barriers to prevent its overflow, and from time to time considerable streams ooze out, and spread over the low countries of Enrope—vivitying acd improving as they proceed in fete various channels. Dropping the similie, however, let us examine the figures relative to specie, coia and bul- lion for the last few years, and the facta we have fo record may serve for useful reflection and fature ects, temporary and per- ie3 of the consideration, as to the etl manent, produced on the jous count world, in their political, social and moral alternate accumulation i cont: @ only in propor- tion as it is actively and widely circulated. [tis the exchange of the precious metal for some raw material of manufactare, some article of necessity, that contributes to production. ‘The discovery,of gold took place in California in 1847, and since that year there has been shipped, up te the close of 1863, and deposited in the Unied States mints, $220,000,000 worth of gold dust, or in sterling value, £44,000,000. The whole produce of the Califoruia mines in the period ig estimated at 260,000,000 ; $40,000,000 being rather alow esti- mate for the amount of gold dust taken to foreign coutries, used in ornaments and plate, and still un- coined, &c.

' Gold dast, amounting in vaiue to forty-four million pounds sterling, was, therefore, received in the United States up to the close of last ear, and specie to the extent of neatly twelve millions more; D orpees shipments of specie, amounting to £31,776,000 were mi to Europe.

Ina gotd-producing country, the export of dust and bullion isa part of ita legitimate de, and the fact of such continnous export is no roof that the Talance of trade is againat the coun. by whilst the average production of the staple is maintained. ‘The specie in all the United States banks, in Ji ry trig sixty million dol- js Aad ere on ae fregiive mlbooe i gold Bei Serke & i sa S Freie : ‘deducting the re-eoinages from longing to Freese probably aot edn ht » Tt ia uy d that the gold silver coin in the United Bingo is from fift, sterling.

In 1853 there was coined in the three principal mints of the world-—London, Paris aud the United States—£35,548,803 worth of gold, and more than £3,000,000 worth of silver. ith all this enormous amount of coi }, the increase of foreign trade and the great vity of produ ‘tive industry, cause a steady demand for a farther metallic currency; and the coinage is absorbed and distributed in a manner lleled in any former period of the world. The following statement from the Bankers’ Circular shows the qusptiles of gold received and delivered by the of England, in the bullion department, in the last four years. It does not represent the actual pi and sales of specie by the bank, wo on but only the amount deposited and wit merebauta" account:— re od 26,001,228 The nighest amount of bullion and coin held by the bank in both departments last year was on the Ist January—being £20,527,662, against £21,845,390, the highest stock in the previous year, viz.,on the 10th July. The lowest amount last year was £14,- 960,206, on the 22d October, inst £12,608,895, which was the lowest amount held in 1851. ° Silver being only a legal tender for small amounts ia this country, beyond the exigencies of our small coia- age there is no indacement to accumulate it here, in consequence of gold being the standard of value. Hence we find that of about 204 million pounds pesto silver which found its way to the bank vaults in the four years ending with 1853, the whole flowed out to India, China and France, where it constitutes the monetary standard. According toa statement of the exports of bullion from London last year, compiled by Messrs. Haggard and Pixley, the quantity shipped amounted to shout 244 millions pounds sterling, of which 5} millions were in silver, and the remainder gold. The whole of the silver—except £530,000 sent to the contineat —went to Indis, China Mauritius, The ship- ments of Kee coin jast were, in round num- , £4,000,000 to At ia and New Zealand; “ oe oto to the continent; £1,000,000 to the Medi- terranean; £375,000 to the West Indies; £286,000 tothe Brazils, and £105,000 to Africa. In the first six months of the present year specie of the value of £2,373,014 has shipped to the Mediterranean ports and the East, of which £1,858,347 was in silver. In 1853, 2,545,260 ounces of gold were shipped from Victoria (nearly all of it to this country), of the aggregate value of £10,181,040, and there atill remained the local banks deposits aod balances ofthe value of £6,316,810, and specie and bullion amounting to £4,336,000. The specie imported into Melbourne and Geelong, in 1853, {astated at. £2,400, 000; a much larger quantity of coin we have, how- ever, seen was sent to Australian ports, but por- tions of it would not arrive till 1854. t yea’, 624,947 ounces of gold, worth about £2,499,73;, were exported from Syduey, and 50,000 ouaces re- mained in private hands. The city banks alsv held deposits and balances to the extent of £5,115,689. The discovery of the auriferous character of the soil of Australia took place in July, 1851, and from that period to the close of 1853 there has been shipped more than £27,000,000 worth of gold. Well-informed colonial authorities estimate the lace of the Australian gold mines,up to she Zclose of 1853, at £29,600,000. The whole quantity exported from ‘Australia may be thus clearly stated:— Ounces, From New South Wale: groves 1,625,256 From Victoria... + 4,617,828 Total, . 6,283,084 worth, at say £4 the oz., £24,972,38 This is only what is officially recorded as shipped; a great quan- tity has also been brought home privately by pas- sengers, and we should not be far wreng in esti- mating this amount at £3,000,000 more; besides which there remains to be taken’ into consideration the quantity remaining in hand in the various Aus- in settlements, and in Van Dieman’s Land and New Zealand. We find, then, that, despite the large production of gold, no one country has been able to retain per- manently any considerable hoard of the precious metals. Out of the £30,000,000 raised in our Aus- tralian colonies, and shipped to England within the last two or three years, we have a stock in the Bank of England ccarcely as large aa we had previous to the gold discoveries, and our monetary require- ments are more stringent than ever. The United States, although parting with only £32,000,000 out of the £56,000,000 received, find the balance of coin slipping out of their bands in a continuons stream. The Earopean States and Eastern countries seem to be profiting moet by the absorption of bullion. The void in the metallic currency cf most of the continental nations is fast filling up, and depreciated paper currency has been toa great extent withdrawn. Still, like quicksilver, you can scarcely follow the movements of specie, for it travels almost as rapidly from place t) place as the electric Guid. The requirements of the great Enropean Powera for the-war now carrying on make heavy inroads cn the supplies of coin and bullion, and serve to alter materialy the usual flow of the metallic ti€e. But these unusaal circumstances must react hereafter, and throw back the metallic currency into the chief centres of manufacturing prodaction. The Bank of France and its branches had, in 1844, £10,885,000 of bullion in its coffera, which increas- ed to £25,890,042 in June, 1852, and has de- creased from that date to £13,430,255 at the last return issued early in May this yesr. The Bank of England has at present little more than £14,000,000 of specie in its vaults, whilst the de- mand ou it for discounts #as neyer 0 continuously heavy. The United States banks have little more than £12,000,000 sterling in specie, besides some £600,000 locked up in the government Treasury. Every commercial country seems, therefore, as bare of coin and bullion as before the gotd discoveries; and, instead of repletion, there are geueral com- plaints of scarcity. Such are the more salient features of the vast picture presented by the oscillations of this impor- tant metallic current, which ramifies and extends its frnctifying stream over the civilized world; here moving in headlong force until the magnified torrent rolls its waters over the chief food-producing and menufacturing centres of the globe; and there gash- ing forth in tiny rills and gentle rippling streams, searcely appreciable, so that it Hecomes difficult to follow it in the cycle of its never-ending rotation.

It appears hor husband is a cartman, ownizg an excelent horse and cart. During tue afternoon he struck ’s bargain with afellow cartman and sold him bia horse, cart aad harness for about $200. About 6 o'clock he went home as usual, ex- cepting that he pe So at his dpmicil on foot, whereas he formerly appeared invariably mounted --om bis cart. His wife immediately noticed the change, and asked him where he had ieft the horse? “ Dve sold the horse, cart, harness aud ali,” said he, “Sold them!” ahe exclaimed, “and to whom?” Her husband then related to her al! the circumstances, laying marked emphasis onthe price ue bad ob- tained. Whether tae wife considered the price in sufficient, or whether she bad other reasons for opposing the sale, it is not known, but she com- manded ber busband to “ go right back and get his horse and cart again,” To this be demurred, when she prepsred herself as quickly as ahe bouid aod started off Io pursuit of the horse aud cart. Ar- rived at the corner of State street and Broadway, where the cartmen generally stand, she was not long in selecting her husband's horse and cart. Ste then seked the man to whom they had been sold if he claimed te property, to which he replied that he did. “By what right?” she inquired. “Why, your husband has sold itto me.” “i don’t care if my husband bas sold it to yon; you can’t have thi horse and cact, even if you were the ’ The remainder of the sentence was lost, as sbe jumped on the cart, seized the reins, and started the horse off adway,onarun. She stood up, man fashion, holding a rein in each hand, and ever and anon Jaying one end of one of the reins with much force across the back of the horse. She attracted the attention of rete at, as she passed through the streets witb her silks flying gaily in the breeze, her head erect, and ing the horze on with vigor. But she drove on, lool nelther to the right nor the left, until she arrived home with the horse and cart—Albany Aflas, July 31. Row ox THB Canat—A Bor Dnowsxen.—On Sunday morning about one o'clock, a man named Philip Farrell, a well known rowdy of the Seve ward, created @ row on several canal boats, near old Weigh lock, which resulted in the drowning of a boy employed on one of the boats. Farrell entered the cabin of the boat where the captain and this boy lay asleep, flourishing s large knife, cursing, tn eae, He commenced dragging tho boy rom male attire. the boy hia bunk, when the latter became slarmed, and ran ont of the cabin to the bow of the boat, after which nothing was seen of him til] his body was found in the cansl. The capiain jumped overboard and swam ashore, Farrell then entered other boats, swearing there were Women aboard, and the occa- pants jumped A general confusion was created, aid cries of murder and watch wore raised. The captain of the firat boat ran down Warren street, and fp vsee og tcetenecene who Ly oe and captured Farrell; escaped, after a strag- ciavacd is now in concealment. The boy, it is a, J overboard in his fright, not thinking dint wasunabdle to swim. He was an orphan, from New York, known only by the name of Theodore, and is about sixteen years old. His friends are unknown. He waa taken from the canal near the scene of the disturbance, this morning, and Coroner Smith held an inquest with o jury, before which the a." facta werg showa,—LVewark ' _—————_ Enel THE CHOLERA. Its History and Progres over the World—Its Presence and Existence in New York, and This disease, on good authority, is believed to have prevailed in India from the earliest ages. It, however, never excited much attention until after the invasion of that country by the English. The natives called it “ Mortdezim,” or “ Deata Blow.’ ‘The French physicians in India called it “ Mort de Chein”—‘Dog’s Death.” Mr. Curtis, in 1810, called it “spasmodic cholera.” It subsequently obtained the name of “ Asiatic cholera,” from haviog originated im Asia; and it was called by Mr. Bell, of London, “ cholora asphyxia,” which more properly belonga to the character the disease assumes in its last stages than to the aggregate of symptoms going to make up a regular euse of cholera. In 1617 it appeared with unusual visutence, in August; at Jessore, in India, situated about one hundred miles to the northeast of Calcutta, thence spreading from village to village, until it reached the latter city early in September, having destroyed thousands in its march. The district of Jeasore,in India, lies chiefly be- tween the latitudes of 22 and 24 deg. north, and 89 and 90 cast longitude. It is about one hundred and sixty miles long, by thirty-two wide. It has an area of about five hundred and eighteen square miles, The population, in 1822, was 1,183,000. It is a flat country, imtersected by numerous in- terlacing branches of the Ganges, It contains many extensive mershes, or rank juvgles, aud is ia every respect well worthy of being the Pacdora’s box of cholera, the very ceptre ani throne of this far spread pestilence. The portions of arable land are dead levels, and exceedingly fertile. The chief town of the district is Jessore, or Moorley. it was here, in Augast, 1817, that 10,000 deaths occurred from this disease, aad from whence it spread to all parts of the world. From Calcutta it spread to Behar and to Benares, andfrom the latter point to Alabahad, Goruck»oor, Lacknow, Deihi, Meettra, Meerat and Bareily, all of which places suffered in succession. It did not appear in these places at the same time, but leaving one it would reappear in the other. It afterwards broke out in the Grand Army, first at Mundellah, thon io Jubelpore and Sauger districts, and continued its ‘course over the Decan ia a violent degree. It con- tinned to spread in the east of the Peninsula from Huasingabad, and following the banks of the Nerdi, dulah, it reached Tannah. It epread through the cities of Aurungabab, and Ahmad Nugger, and reached Poonsh, and from thence visited Pawawell, in the direction of the coast, from whence it extend: ed north and south, reaching Salsette, and arriving at Bombay about the middle of S»ptember, 1318 one year after its appearance at Calcutta, it ar- rived in Madras in October, 1818. After ravaging the Peninsula, it attacked the Island of Ceylon. From Ceylon it was carried in the Topaz frigate to Port Louis ix the island of Mauritius. From thence it was carried tv St. Dennixin the island of Bourbon. In 1819 it spread along the bay and goast of Ben- gal, and from thence reached the Peninsula of Ma- laca and the Island of Sumatra. In 1820 it visited Siam. In 1823 it was introduced into the Barman empire. It reached Canton, in China, in the au- tumn of 1620. In 1823 it ravaged Pekin. In 1527 disease was never 60 simultaneously and geme- rally diffured as # is over the United States, te which our immense travel by failroads miay have contributed, P It is. now of no use fora popplation to ran sway, as there is no place, scarcely, free from it, or which is not at any moment liable to be visited by: ft,.co which it can fly. : ‘The disease most commonly attacks those between the ages of twenty and fifty years. c At the Pranklin street hospital, in this city, out of three hundred and twenty-five admisdons the present season, only two or three children—end they eight or nine years old—have been admitted, one of whom, a boy of nine years of aga, died with it, About three-fourths of the three hundred aad j twenty-five patients admitted to the Franklin street cholera hospital, from June 25, 1854, to July 29, were grown females. Of the three hundred aud twenty-five patients, there were only forty-seven natives of the United Btates. The remainder were all foreign born, and bad mostly recently emigrated to the country. Among the patients were three or fur colored per- Bons. * Two-thirds were natives of Ireland, about ome- fifth to one-fourth of Germany, and the remainder Boglish, Scotch, French, and other Europeans, not one of whom was 6 native of Wales. Of the whale number of deaths from eholera in the city of New York, for nine weeks ending the 22d July instant— viz., three hundred and seventy four—tw> husdred and sixty-two of the number were foreignera, only one of whom was a native of Wales. The population of the latter, in 1851, was about 1,100,000, and it contyibuted the present year a fair proportion of emigrants. They are a people known to be ex- tremely cleanly in their habits, and hence this may have bad something to do with their exemption, Up to Saturday, the 29th July, only nine admis- sions had taken place at the Mott street cholerm hospital, which is central to one of the most crowd- ed, dirty, and ill ventilated sections of the city, im- cluding the northern boundaries of the Five Pointe, We visited both the hospital in Mott street, ander Dr. Conant, and that in Franklin street, under Dr. Vanderveer, aud ascertaiued the facts regarding th. poe then on the 30th fust. paid a visit to the Marine Hospital, at Qurantine, Staten Island, under the care of Dr. Vache, and learat from him that there was a not a single case of cholera in that ip- stitution, We learnt from Dr. Vache that the largest impor” tation of cholera came over from Liverpool in the ship North American. She had between 600 and 700 emigrants on board, and reached Quarantine about the first week in May, with about 100 cholera cases on board. A number had died on the voyage, and had been thrown overboard. Those remaining sick were at once removed to the hospital, and sub- jected to medical treatment. The well were alao landed, and their sanitary condition attended to. They were kept on the island several days before they were allowed to leave forthe city. The ship was also overhauled and cleansed. Several new cases Bppeared among the emigrants after being landed. The Doctor stated that, although the disease had disappeared from the hospital, it prevailed to some extent among the inhabitants of the island, and occasionally patients were eent inte the hospital from them, for treatment, being confin- ed chiefly to foreign laborers on the island. He sald it parsed the great Chinese Wall and attacked seve- | that he had been most troubled with smallpox, and ral towns situated in the great desert of Gobi. | ¢iat afew weeks since the cases amounted to 100 5 In July, 1821, it entered Muscat, in Arabia. It but at present he had only 60 under his care. He attacked other places on the Persian Gulf. Tt raged | eaid that many of his smallpox patients, in its moat again at Bombay in 1821. From the Persian Gulf it spread to Armenia, by the way of Yezd, Ispahan and Tabreez. It reached Bassora, on the river Euphrates, and Bendor, Abouscher and. Muscat, nearly at the same time, by different ramifications. It travelled up the river to Bagdad from Bassora. From the former place it reached Aunsh, on the confines of Byria. In 1822 it crossed over Syria to ¢ chole Aleppo, by the way of Merdine, Mosul, Diabekar, Orfa, Bir and Antab, where it broke out in Novem- ber, having appeared at Mosnl in the previous Joly. In seven months it extended to Ca yamanns from India, and finally reached the shores of the Mediterranean sea. In July, 1830, ‘it reached Astrachap, in Russia bya ship from the port of Bakon, on the Caspian sea. From thence it epread with the boatmen on the river Volga, intothe interior of Russia. A soldier, it was said,carried it from the Volga toa military poston the river Don. In August and September, it passed through the governments of Rief, Paltora, Podolia, Volhynia, Grodno and Wilna, which were succed- sively attacked. It visited the town off Saratoff, and carried off 2,170 people in a few days, while the Moravian town of Sarepta, near by, in conse- quence of cutting off all intercouse, escaped. In September, after visiting various intermediate posts, it reached Moscow, the ancient capital of Russia. Subsequently, it extended its ravages to St. Peters- burg, Archavgle, Riga, and Dantzic in Prussia. It also, in the summer of 1831, prevailed at Berlin and Vienna. In November, 1831, it appenred at Sunder- land, in England, and from thence spread to Gates- head, Ne rcastie, and neighboring towas. During the winter and spring of 1832, it spread to various places ‘ in England, and also to Edlaburg and Glasgow in Scotland, and to Cork and Dublin in Ireland. It viait- ed London, and broke out in Liverpool, ia June 1332 And in dune, 1832, it appeared among the emi. grants brought over to Cansda, in the ahip Carricks, from Dublin, 41 of whom died on the voyage. It continued to prevail among them after landing at Quebec, and spread from them over the town. From Quebec it soon reached Sorrell, Montreal, La Prairie and St. Johu, About the first Jaly, in the seme year, it appeared in New York city, and on the 7th in Albany. From New York it divergedin two cirections—one alovg the seaboard, south from ad, in another, along the grand eg of the western lakes. It | sippi river, and proved very fetal. In th : part of the summer it | reached New On s, where it prevailed, conjointly with yellow fever, and produced great mortality. It re-appeared in New Orleans in 1855 ang 1831, and also re-appeared in New York in 1944, and again in 1849 and 1854. Public feeling has undergone a wonderful change regarding this disease. When it first appeared, ia 1832, a universal panic seized the public miad. Little or no experience had been bad in its treat- canal and along the finally reached the M inflammatory stages, took the cholera, which acarce- ly ever failed to prove fatal. The doctor considered that this fact militated against the doctrine of the unity of disease. From the examination we have given the eubject of cholera, as it at present exists in New York and vicinity, by pergonal inspection of patients in the ra wards and hospitals, we have come to the conclusion that it exists in most cases in a very mild form, compared to malignant cases of oho- lera asphyxia, or Asiatic cholera, we have witness €d in the delta of the Missizsippi and on the shores of the Gulf of Mexico, ia former years, In mang q Cases, it seems to be little else than an aggravated. form of cholera morbus. It is no epidemic, and such as it is, natives of the United States seem in a méasare to escape it. Thie induces us to believe that the disease is little else, in @ great many cases, than violent attacks of dysen- tery, or cholera morbus, induced in emigrants by the process of acclimation, and the use of diet or fruita, combined with exposure, and with methods of living to which they have never before been accustomed. With all the fuss about cholera, we doubt if a health, ier place exists on the continent than New York atthe present time. All that is wanted to keep it £0 is proper atteation +o cleanliness and temperance on the part of the people, in all things. Let the authorities keep the city clean, and no fears need be entertained. We have no doubt many cases of dy- sentery, or cholera morbus, are reported by men who, * perbaps, never saw a case of cholera asphyxia im their lives. By a careful examination of the history of cholera, it will be found that its spread is lese influenced by conditioas of the atmosphere than mavy are dispog- ed to believe. Though, a3 a general rale, ita ocour rence is more frequent, and its fatality greatest tm the hot months of summer, yet this does mot necessarily~ follow; because it has prevailed at different . places in November, as well 4s in the months of winter and spring. . This hap pened in some parts of Great Britain in the winter and spring of 1831-32. Hence, those who attempt to link its presence and virulence with the occur rence or abeence of thender storms, or of ele tricity, have studied its history to little purpose. One of the immediate characteristics of the disease In its primitive stages is the tendency te the formation of an acrid acid in the stomacag everything swallowed in the shape of food appa rently ferments instead of being digested, whiolk | indtates the coats of the stomach and intestines, leading to dlarrhova. disease is mosturable ix All physicians agree that the this stage.

Quackery raised its head in a thou- eand forms, and proclaimei its thousand and ons infallible nostrums. The most talented physicians had little togo by beyond the varions incongruous modes of treatment received in vaunted publications | from Europe and the Hast. Bleeding, emetica, in- jections of salt into the veins, stimulating, rob- bing, heating and coolicg remedics—all came out backed by advocates who proclaimed their never failing cure; prudent physicians, not dreaming that the disease required little more additional treatment than thatfound best in aggravated cases of cholera Morbus of the climate—a disease common to the country from its earliest settlement—the conse. quence was that some were vomitted to death, some constipated fo death, some purged to death, some stimulated to death, and others rubbed to death; whiles universal fright and stampede seized upon the population at large. It wae bard to tell which killed the most—fright, quackery, or the disease. One of the greatest preventives of the disease is now better knownand more universally and saccess- fully practised, and that is, with the exercise of due prudence and cleanlingss, a total absence of fear. ‘The disease, we Lélieve, has undergone consider. able modification within the pastten or fifteen years. With the exception of somé ‘localities, as the allavial bottoms of the Mississippi and other Great rivers, it has in « general way assumed a wilder form.

It must be recollected that every bowel complaint or dysentery is not cholera. Ia some cases the moderate action of theybowels is the healthy action of nature to relieve the system. The only danger is, that, if neglected, it may in cholera times, termi note in that discase,or in an aggravated form of cholera morbus.
