Political Effect of Lord John Russell's Retirement —Exultation of the Legitimiste—Hopes of the Republicans— Financial Advantages of the New ‘ability, fallen like a bomb among our various poli- ‘teal coteries. In the Quartiere St. Germain, the plange, ruinous to the best interests of France, and ‘hhostile to her most kindred alliance. “ Yes,” said a ‘dy of the house of de Nerveau, whose father was formerly ambassador at St. Petersburg, while a fond crowd of admirers was grouped around her, ‘exalting in the highest names of French history, “ Lord John, for once has 5 an intelligible fact, which, could he have pe: before, would ‘kave saved a world of human misery.” The ques- tion is indeed “between an imperfect security for ‘Parkey and for Europe and the continuance of the war.” Every security for the maintenance and sup- port of a rotten State like Turkey must necessarily ‘be imperfect when you have done all you can; while ‘the continuance of the war will cover the earth with @ very locust-swarm of revolutionary principles. Wussia is the incarnation of conservatism. The vast amount of her territory and population will bid de~ fiance to the efforts of England and France, who Must, if they continue the war, enlarge its bounda- yies. Lord John knows and sees this. One after another, every statesman in England is giving way; and but for this Bonaparte at the Tuileries, things might be suffered to fall back in their places to- ‘merrow. All the ministeria) cliques are satisfied that the resignation of this important English minister will give immense force to the war party. An opinion prevails that other resignations must follow ; that Kord Palmerston will enlarge the basis of his cabinet, and boldly appeal to the country, who, on the war policy, will return him such a majority as will be equal in value to the absolute possession of Matakoff and the Redan. The readers of the Siecle, the great Republican party of France—and their name is legion—are Hiterally tossing up their hats with delight. They @eclare that every change which has hitherto oc- ewred in the counsels of England has all been in favor of the downtrod nationalities—that those eloser bonds of union, now so observable in the great German powers, must inevitably either pro- @nce a breach between them and the Western pow- ers, or an upheaving of peoples. Lord Palmerston is claimed gs the representative—almost the sole representative among high statesmen—of the fact, that Austria is full of inherent weakness, while Turkey is full of living, palpable progress; and they believe the war will now go on as it never has before—that Russia, with her wide spread popula tion, will become distressed—that she will draw to her assistance the German powers; and that then the blazing brand of freedom—of “Liberté, equalité and fraternité” will scatter its fiery scintillations among all men and languages, now crouching under the iron heel of tyranny; and that the general con flagration which must fellow will only tend, in the end, to purify and exalt the destinies of the oman race. “Ay,” said an American gentle man, who was by when these sentiments were essed, ‘‘and never tell me that whenever such & beacon light blazes on the heights and shores of Europe, America will stand an idle looker on.” Lord John Russell has, in truth, so often taken oc- casion to declare that England would not seek as- fistance in this war from the nations Russia oppresses, that it is no wonder he meets with little favor at the bands of the republicans. At the Bourse to-day the last price of the 4 1-2 per cents Rente was 92 fr. 75c., and that of the 3 per cents 65 fr. 90c. These prices, compared with the rate of issue of the new loan, will give the subscri- ‘bers a benefit of 50c. for the 4 1-2 per cents, and of @6c. forthe 3 percents. The principal advantage, however, will result from the delay of twenty months granted to the subscribers from the time of subscrib- ing, and from the date from which the arrears of in- terest will be paid to them. x ‘This combination is equivalent to a fresh diminu- tion of 2f. 79c. on the 4 1-2 per cents and If. 98¢. on the 3 per centa. Those who shall be admitted to pay, by anticipation, will receive a discount which shall id in lieu of this profit. All these advantages united bring down the price of the 4 1-2 per cents, in reality, to S9f. 40c.; aud that of the 3 per cents to 631 and compared with the last price at the Bourse procure to the sub- scribers a profit of Sf. 29c. on the former stock, and of 2f. 63c. on the latter; a profit which must appear still greater when it is considered that for several days past the Bourse has been intluenced by, the im- minence of the loan, and that thus the weakness of the late prices is an accidental depreciation. ‘There is no doubt that this loan will be equally Em merce. sons. with those that have preceded it, and that peror may, if he pleases, already anticipate ‘@ portion of the seven hundred and fifty millions. mn Saturday 400 Russian prisoners landed at Havre. They wore their knapsacks, long y coats, and carried their camp utensils. In the atter- noon they were marched off in two detachments to St. Adresee and Tourneville. There was no officer, but their conduct had been throughont excellent. The Czar has detached from the Polish army, for service of the Crimea, 70,000 men.

The author is a lover of truth. He advances no new theory, but produces a volume of facts of a most positive and conclusive character. could hardly have been ascertained with the same precision in any other country; for not only would it have been impossible to ascertain age, condition, mode of life, &c., of the sick, but the patients them- selves would not willingly have subjected themselves Observations were made in Munich, Nuremburg, Augsburg, Wurzburg, Ebrach> Ingolstadt, Gaimersheim, Rattisbone, Fraunstein, and Freysing, and the author compares his results with the “Report of the Mortality of Cholera in England, 1848-49,” and the reports on the cholera in India during the years 1817, 1818 and 1819, by James Sameson. He shows conclusively, I think, that there is no contradiction in these reporte—that the facts ascertained in India are precisely those which have been observed later in England, and but last year in Bavaria; that any apparent contradiction is due solely to accompanying circumstances by which the results were modified, and which in part are mentioned by the authors themselves; and that a skilful and scientific reasoner like Dr. Liebig, who prophesied years ago that the cholera would never become epidemic in Wurzburg, (which was proved last year, when nobody died there, except those who brought it there from other places,) would have been able to arrive at the same conclusion he did, had he read but any one of those reports, or observed the progress of cholera from its inception to its disap- pearance in a single city. I have not time now to translate any considerable portion of the work before me, so.as to furnish data for the doctor’s conclusions; but will simply state what these conclusions are. He, himself, expresses the hope that these conclusions will be attacked by other members of the faculty, in order that he may be able to answer them with facts and observations: “In the investigation of any truth,” he says, “it is necessary first to ascertain one fact or principle be- yond the power of contradiction, and then from this to go to the next one.’ The facts ascertained in re- gard to the cholera are:— 1. That it is not contagious, in the usual sense of the word; but that it can, nevertheless, be from one place to another. 2. That it always follows the usual routes of com- to a similar control. 3. That no elevation above the level of the ocean, furnishes a guarantee against the disease, nor is any ss necessarily exposed to its ravages. .

This fact furnishes a measure for the distance to ‘which it may be carried from one place to another. 15. The disease which is not communicated by con- tact is carried to the inmates of houses, sleeping in rooms exposed to the cholera poison as above en- gendered, 16. It the cholera, as proved in London, is more in- tense and fatal in the plain than on elevations, it will, ou investigation, be found that it is owing to the better drainage, by which filth is removed before it is decompored, or before it enters, as in damp and wet soils, into process of fermentation. Dr, Petten- kofar found some of the worst cases of cholera on hills where the privies of houses still higher situated emptied into sinks or sewers of improper fall. The upper houses were generally exempt. 7. To prevent contagion, the stools of cholera pa- tients imust be disinfected before they are emptied. The Lest disinfecting ageut is vitriol of iron. Chio- ride of lime only pa the air, but does not des- troy the cholera poison. 18.

There are no other sanitary ble of preventing or arresting cholera in ita progress, than those which have reference to cleaning and pu- ritying those places which serve to collect or convey human excrementa. I shall extract from the work of Dr. P. some of the most remarkable facts sustaining his views, which are also of other distinguished chemists and phyai- cians in Germany. The experience in hospitals the properly receives with a manner of patients, with fs mode of life and every human vice, are received in hospitals; but he lays great stress on hia observations in sons, where several hundred persons are subject to the same diet, the same rules, the same cansea of in- fection or disinfection and that for weeks and months before cholera made it appearance among them.

Yet the letters from Blaye, though they no de- tails, confirm, even by their reserve, popular version of the story. ‘The first allusion is written from Parthenay, on he 30th of November, 1862:— On Sunday, the 2d of December, your ill-starred brother leaves with his battalion. What ‘to do? To keep guard cer the Duchess de Berry. Instead of a hunter of mal- contents, behold me a jailer! Blaye, in January of the next year. A step of peoaeee stimulates his zeal, and he writes o his brother for certain martial ornaments to suit the loftiness of his new ition. But Blaye was a dull retreat, and Leroy St. Armand soon wearied of it:— ‘We used to have some soirees hei ticed them, and they are gone with 1) them. We are reduced to ourselves, ‘ below it. Iam forced to play at chess with’an artillery officer. In this epistle, addressed to his sister, several blanks occur—the ellipses, probably, conceal some delicate information conveyed by the of nadiers. His next letter announces that the uchess had “officially avowed” her condition,— which St. Arnaud said to have detected by secret and infamous means. “She pre- tends to have contracted a private mar- riage, without being at liberty name the individual.” Five physicians, commissioned by the government, came to obtain intor- mation. “She received them with noble gravity, replied with candor to their inquiries, and told them that her friends need not blush for her, since she had been married, and would 5] ily pro- duce her proofs.” Again, we read, Dr. Meniére “sees the Duchess every day, often several times a day, and he repeats to me some curious details.” e character of the French officer who enacted ; but the devil no- this singular part in the prison of the Duchess, as well as the nature of his occupation, is illustrated in sentences like the following:— I shall say no more of her, for all I now learn is confi- dential, so that I cannot communicate it. But ina few months, possibly sooner, I shall entertain you with some piquant facta. To the unhappy lady herself he affected all imagi- nable courtesy—sang to her, tinkled his guitar to her, and watched her, until the birth of Marie-Aune Rogalie took place. Translated to the African service, St. Arnaud found himself in a congenial field. He breathed the fumes of battle, and snuffedthe approach of war, as a horse snuffs his pasture from a ce. After the first victory, near Blidah, “‘a tribe was burned.” Then came the expedition against the city of Con- stantine. “The music of a fusillade” enlivened the French army as it paused on the way; but St. Ar- naud feared neither the enemy nor the chance of famine. Writing at the end of September, 1837, he eays:— The Kabyles are brave soldiers; but they number only six or eight thousand men, and if they resist, the bayonet will win the game. In five days we be before Con- stantine—two days in the trenches, one day bombarding, and then the assault. What a country, my brother ! ‘Admirable up to this time: but just now ‘all horror and rivation. We shall at last be without water—the most orrible of all prospects. But if God will remain neutral, the enemy is lost. 2 We may guess from passages like this, combined with others we have quoted from his Crimean let- ters, how St. Arnand would have carried on the Eats- ern campaign. He dashed upon the Russians at the Alma ; at Sebastopol would it not also have been “ two days in the trenches, one day’s bombardment, and then the assault?” At Constantine, at all events, he went through the storm without a scratch :— An admirable resistance—men who had to be killed twicr—a city taken with the bayonet, under a murder- ous fire, house by house, street by street, and the mas- raere continuing on both sides for three hours —you may imagine what blood was shed. As for myself, what hall say? Ibrought my men to the bayonet charge en times, under fire, broke into the houses, and rushed hrough the blasts of shot and missiles with that fury and spirit which you know I can exhibit. I told you I would die or distinguish myself ; I told you I wanted to gain the Cross. I don’t know whether I shall have it ; but I am rewarded already, for my officers and comrades have embraced me, and declared that I deserve it. If, in the Homeric phrase, small things may be compared with large, the state of the French before Constantine resembled in some points the former state of the Allies betore Sebastopol:— Their horses were dying of hunger and fatigue; the few that were left, instead of serving them in case of a re- treat, would simply have embarrassed their movements. The soldiers, ill-fed, always in the mud and rain, without sleep, without rest, became the prey of disease. Dyxen- tery and fever were more terrible to us than to the Arabs. But the word “assault” cured every one. ‘The assault is vigorously described: — After climbing the breach, loud cries of ‘Forward!”’ arose; and the French, momentarily driven back- ward, rallied to the charge. Their shouts brought up Lamoriciere with reinforcements; and he arrived s the assailants were once more upon the with sthe Turks flying before so close, that we tabbed them in the backs as they retreated. Our sol- diers fell over one another pell-mell, with their officers, and a fearful disorder followed. Lamoriciere sprang up, in band. We reached summit of the breach.

Death of the last Medical Attendant of Napo» the (From the London Chronicle, July Rac We have to record the death of Dr. Archibald Ai nott, of her Maiesty’s 20th Regiment of foot, in the eighty-fourth year of his age. Dr. Arnott’ entered the army upwards of —— Bc ago, and retired from active service in 1826. ‘or afew years he was attached to the llth Dra- scons, ‘but for a much longer period served with her lajesty’s 20th foot, sharing the perils and exploits of that distinguished corps on the Nile, in Calabria, eat tab Spain, and Hol |, and earning a medal whee for Egypt, Maida, Vimiera, Corunna, eae the Pyrenees, Nivelle, Nive, Orthes, and ‘oulouse. After the war, Dr. Arnott accompanied his brave companions in arms to St. Helena and India, and at the former station became the medical attendant of | Napoleon Bonaparte. His professional ability, in- genuous character, and upright and dignified deport- ment as an officer and gentleman, at once secured for him the confidence of that man, whose good opinion, thus early formed, was strength- ened Br say. interviews during the progressof his fatal disease, and at last ripened into warm personal sHeciment bit noes be “ spe J er were cordially reci [ee iy Pl 5 an on the part of the illustrious patient were éxpressed on all occasions by delicate attentions and lively marks of affectionate regard. In particular, shortly previous to his diesolution, Napoleon gave a very in- | pata testimony of his respect for Dr. Arnott, and grateful sense of the warm sympathy and inde- fatigable zeal with which he had labored mitigate | the cruel sufferings which no art could heal. To use the words of one then on the island, ‘‘ The Emperor, | on his death bed, desired that a valuable gold snuff- box Shae be brought to him, and having, with hig dying band and last effort of ‘ing strength, engraved upon its lid with a penknife the letter ‘ N,’ he presented it to his kind and valued friend, as 2 ing memorial of his deep esteem and heartfelt. | gratitude.” Besides which, Napoleon bequeathed to him 600 Napoleons, and the British government, to mark its a probation of his conduct, conferred on him £500. en the scene at last drew to a close, the patient expired with his right hand in that of Dr. Arnott. Dr. Arnott was almost the last survivor of those whose names will be handed down to posterity im connection with the events of the last of Ni leon. His masculine and tenacious mind was to last richly stored with recollections and anecdotes of the peri These the public would have read witlr interest, but, except a clear and distinct ‘‘ Account of the Last Illness, Decease, and Post-mortem A) pearances of Napoleon Bonaparte,” published 822, he could never be induced to Cin ‘them to | print, being reluctant to min, myers the keen | ood ppaintal cdnteoversy of the time, al concealing his opinion in Vaiphad conversation. From the sphere of public duty Dr. Arnott retired to his native parish, and there,on his patrimoniat estate of Kirkconnel hall, spent the evening of his days beneficially to the neighbourhood and honora- bly to himself. The Slave Trade. i In the House of Lords on July 20th, Lord Brough. | am presented a petition by by Mr. G. W, Alex- ander, as chairman of the British and Foreign Anti- Slavery Society, complaining that certain British consuls in the West Indies were still holders of slave propert » Their lordships were aware that in the Dutch cofonies of Guiana and Surinam theeman- cipation of slaves had not yet been effected. Various measures bad been propounded in the of those colonies, one of which was the liberation of all ersons born of slave mothers after a certain date. oppo pa Leggo Freres J met with great 0} ion from planters, |, amonget others, a planter of great named (as the noble lord was understood) Fthertsa.

He had no doubt that that able and respectable functionary succeeded by inheritance to the property, and therefore fell within the exception in all the time, it was necessary that all persons in that situa- tion should be aware of the critical situation in whic: they were placed, for though they might sell the property and even the slaves indirectly, they must take care how they purchased slaves, as, by our lavy, buying and selling slaves amounted to a felony. 4 hoped that his noble friend would givethem some hopes with regard to Spain, that that country was about to abandon the execrable slave trade.
