SUMMARY OF CONTINENTAL EVENTS
From Willmcr & Smith's Timed, May 2IL
It is scearcely possible to condense within our
prescribed space even a summary of the events which
are going on in Europe. '
Concurrently with the rumors industriously put
into circulation by the Germans, that thq war in the
duchies was about to end, more stringent noticies of
the blockade are issued by the official authorities of
one of, the bellergents. The - war, however, is quite
disregarded amid the threatening elements of mis
chief fast collecting elsewhere.
The EMPEROR or Rums, so long silent, has issued
a manifesto, announcing his determination to inter
fere in the Austrian and H ungarian quarrel; and,
notwithstanding that ho has simultaneously recog
nized the French Republic, LIT effect of his interven
lion in Hungary has stirred up all the feelings in
'rance which have been subdued since 18M - end the
shout resounds amongst , the ultra-Republicans.—
"The Cossacks are comming, hurrah! let them come!
France will break the sword of war on the breast of
the last King!" All which, in plain terms, means
that they will have a bloody war for the pleasure of
fighting under the potence of , Maintaining civiliza
tion against barbarism, promising, as we heard more
than half a century ago, that "they will dig a vast
grave for the Russians in the bed of the. Rhine."
Pavane is mustering her forces, and has
_pretty
well succeeded in tranquilising the various towns in
Rhenish Prussia which haVe erected, lairsicades and
played their little episode of rebellion. The k rank
fort Central Government, finding the Prussian and
Saxon deputies gone and departed, Gagorn, Dahl
mann, 13assermann, Madly, all withdrawn, and none
but wild, bloodthirsty . democrats left, is trying, to
find some forlorn, desperate prince to take up the
hopeless case of German unity.
We cannot describe the state of Baiden or Wur
-ienberg; the convulsion is going on, and the troops
from the northern states are pouring to the south in
order to quell the general commotion which prevails.
The greatest fear is that the vast population of Baden
and that Rheinpfalz should unite with the people of
Alsace, under the influence of the Paris- agitators,
Lind concoct a little republic under the protection of
France. If this happiness, no mortal power can
prevent an European war, and there is all the symp
toms of some such proceeding. If Prussia, and
Hanover, and Mecklenberg can bring down troops in
time to prevent extremities, this may be avoided; but
as every day increases the excitement in Paris it is
impossible to calculate upon the continuance of peace
one single hour.
From HUNGARY and AUSTRIA we learn little that
is authentic. It is quite clear that the belligerents
aro well matched. Even with the aid 6f the Russi
ans, it is rdported that Bem has gained consideable
advantages. It is beyond a doubt that the Russians
have now effectually intervened, and a vast body of
men is now within confines of the former Austrian
empire. •We know, howmer, that the most active
negociations are going on in order to avoid extremi
ties, and, so far as his influence extends, we beleive
that -Louis Napoleon is asLanzions as any one to
' maintain peace. But the people of Germany, the
people of France, seem bent upon war.
In ITALY all is confusion. The Austrians have
bombarded Bologna; at Leghorh the most frightful
effusion of blood has taken place; whilst:the French
remain about Palo, near Rome,the derhiion of all.
Europe. Gen. Oudinot has received they vote of the
-National Assembly which disapprosed hts attempt
- to put down the Roman Republic; so he poor general
: is left to do the best he can to prom legitimate
influence of France initialy.' Up t our test news
we have no hope held out to us th t the Romans
will Surrender; and if General Oudin t should unhap
pily bombard Rome, whether he sec ea r s or does not
succeed, we fear "his heed's assurance is but frail."
Froth all the statements which reach,,,ps, We are lead
to beleive that the Pope is more than ever hostile to
French intervention; and under such circumstances.
the solution-of the present difficulties seem magnified
in a tenfold degree. The Neapolitians having, in
spite of their assertions to the contra ry, been beaten
by Garibaldi, have not made any prOgress towards
the Eternal City.

THE DEFEAT OF THE RUSSIANS CON
" FIRMED:
The Constitutionelle - Zeitung publishes a procla
mation which M. Kossuth issued at Debresse on the
32th May, and in which he asserts that the Russians
have been defeated by the Hungarians under Gen.
Beur. Six thousand Russians are asserted to have
surrendered at Knouer jut tau 7th ult., and above
thirty thousand followed their example three days
later at Arta. Theirtir i ns, cannon, horses and atn
mutnition fell into the h lids of the Hungarians.
The Liverpool Juurn I of May 26:11, the day of
sailing, under the head f the latest news, says:—
"A great battle has bee fought between the Rus
sians and Hungarians, and althou g h precise intelli
gmice is wanted, there i. little doubt that the Rus
sians have been defeated "
Another account says, that the rumor of the vic
tory of the Hungarian Gen. Ilem o‘er the Russians,
is ?filly confirmed. It too!: place in the defiles of
Rotheinhuin. This victory accounts for - the non
appearance of the Russians in Hungary in such
force as would enable them to take the offensive, of
which the Vienna ministerial journals bitterly com
plain. That both Austrians and .161SritIllei have
been defeated is evident: from the fact that strong
entrenchments are being thrown up around Vienna,
and every preparation is made to enable the city, to
withstand a siege. No one knows anything of the
whereabouts of Jellachich, and;as:t he strong corps of
Croats that are found straggling about, there is no
doubt that his division has also been defeated by the
Hungarians._
Another Austrian General has been defeated it)
GalHein. '
A letter 6CIB been received by M. Rothschild at
Frankfurt, which saya:—The Hungarians hare en
tirely defeated the Russians, and nave forced then'
to fallback upon Cracow!, The revolution n ill thug
be transferred into Poland.
The Vienna paper, Elnyd, has advices from Buda
of the 16th inst., stating that all the attacks of the
Magyars ,upon that place remained fruitless; buil
from:the Silesian papers and the Kohler Zeitung we
learix that Buda has at length fallen into the hands
of the Hungarians. The fact, though still open to'
a doubt, appears as authentic as any fact can be from
a scene of War like that in Hungary. Buda was
taken on the 14th inst. The Seltlesische Zeitung
states that the Hungarians in taking Buds, came iu
possession of the 'tnilitary chest, 20,000 muskets,
10 batteries, end a vast quantity of ammunition.—
It appears that General Gurgey did not execute hiti
former threat that he would put the whole garrison
Bida to the sword, for we see in one of the Ger.-
tnan papers that the captive soldiers of the garrison
of Buda have been taken to Comorn.
A letter from Raab of the 16th inst., in the ICol
ner Zeitung, states that the country about Raab is
occupied by a strong Hungarian arrny, but that their
principal forces are at Neuhausel, eight miles be
yond Comoro, under the command of GeneralDern
binsky. The Austrian forces, with, their Russian
auxiliaries, have advanced in great masses, and at
Vaika, where the Hungarians endeavored to oppose
their passage over the Danube," an engagement of
three hours duration took place of which the Hun
garians are asserted to have hod the worst.
A rumor was current at Raab on the 16th inst.,
of the Russians . having entered Hungary near
Dukia, and of their having suffered a defeat from
Dembinsky, who engaged them between &afield
and Eperies,.
The Austrians were badly defeated by tho Vene
tians, May 7th.
Letters have been received at Marseilles confirm
ing the report of the second victory of Garibaldi
over the Ncapolitants. lie took 1500 prisoners.
The news from Portugal islof a gloomy character.
Distress - increases. A vast number of farms and
houses had been seized fur debt, but there is nobody
to buy them.
Charles Albert, of Sardinia, is seldom seen, and
when he is, appears to be suffering acutely in mind
from his recent reverses.
London letters from Paris, of Friday, report a
very uneasy feeling in that city. The universal
opinion is that some decisive change is at hand.—

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES-CAN (THEY
COMPETE WITII FOREIGN!
A great ado hasleen made by a certain cities of
politicians of this country, the object of ' which has
been to show that American manufacturers cannot
compete on their own .means merely with Foreign
in the production of 'fine article's., The same story
was once maintained in reference to coarse articles
also, but the progress of time and events have 'effec
tually dissipated this fallacy. Bet .in respect to
certain articles 'until. recently the proofs have not
been so abundant. We give below, however,
an
extract from that able journal, the New York Dry
Goads Reporter, detailing the account.. of a late
auction sale in the great commercial emporium,
which shows very clearly that even the article of
Lawns, ono of the finest fabrics into which our great
staple, cotton, is converted, American, manufactur
ers con successfully and advantageously compete
with foreign manufacturers, oven under the present
low rates of duty, and consequently 'that any in
crease of duty, as clamored for by some of these
manufacturers and the trading politicians who sup
port their views, would be nu more than levying a
tax upon the consumers of the country, for the pur
pose oriocreasing the profits of these manufacter
eres and thus enable them to indulge in additional
prodigalities and luxuries.
~After the close of the sale of Foreign Lawns the
company reassembled at the sales room of the auc
tioneers, where the great features of the sale, and
the one which had drawn together the large con-.
course of merchants, the "Portsmouth Co's Lawns,"
were offered. We spoke of. these last week. The
exhibition consisted of about 59 lots, and the cata
logue called for 374 'duplicates, in all about 100,000
yards. At' the commencement of the sale, Mr. E.
Baker, the agent of the Company, rose and set forth
the merits and qualities of the goods, pledging his
own and the Company's honor that they were all
original designs, andliad never before been offered,
except in two or three styles, in any market; and
closed by stating that this: day's work would
decide whether English manufactures were to con
tinue to inundate the country with goods, or wheth
er Americans would prefer their own fabricii,*of
equal quality, at cheap, rates. This being finished;
•the bidding commenced in earnest. New York jos
tled New Orleans, and Philadelphia contended with
Boston fur choice styles. Prices ragged from 13i
for plain to 16 cents for organdise; atid although
the prices were low, there appeared every disposi
tion on the,eart of buyers to encourage the enter
prise of the manufacturers. We have watched this
Portsmouth Company's proceedings with no little
interest: we have seen them steadily. pursue the eVen
tenor of their way, undaunted by obstacles, and
confident of ultimate success, even when all around
were prophesying bankruptcy and ruin, and to them
belongs the credit of establishing the fact, that the
United States will in a fetv years be as able to sue r
cesafully cope with Europe in the productitin of
the finer fabrics, as she now is in heavy brown goods.
We_are inclined to the belief that the Foreign
Goods did nut possess an intrinsic worth in propor
tion to the price with the Donastic article, and that
purchasers will find our views correct."
It must. be remembered also that the "Dip goods
Reporter" is a Protective Tariff' paper and hos,rgp•
resented this case in the strongest light which it
would bear. Farmers, mechanics and consumers
generally stand by the Tarifrof 1846! It protects
you from the devouring hands of these selfish man
ufacturers who are not satisfied with four times the
profit you make in your business.
BUFFALd AND STATE. Lin R Al LII.OAD.—The more
the subject of a railroad betneen this city and Erie
becomes investigated, the more.importance.does it
assume. As a link in the great chain which must, '
before the lapse of many years, span the Southern
shore of Lake Erie, and stretch off towards the
west, it beef's oh hum-Tont relation. The Bostoni
ans, who own the stock of the Sandusky and' Cin,
Railroad, ere also the owners of the Charter of-the
old Ohio Railroad Company, extending from Comm
ent to the Michigan tine. They hate resolved, we
understand, to proceed to construct -that portion of
the road between Sandusky and Cleveland the pres
ent season. TIM road from Cleveland te'cincinnati

these shell be completed to Cleveland, the remain

.the line between that point and Buffalo will

which will concentrate at. Clevelandchring the sea
son of the suspension of navigation. The Buffalo
and Erie Road is a kind of entering _wedge to the
line between this city and Cleveland, and will com
plte of the other portion'. But, independent of
any other connexion, we have' not the least doubt
but that the stock Ivonld pay as well as any other,
all seasons of the year. Then?. are numerous til
lages all along the route, With an extensive framing

GREAT EvEras IN Emu)Eito—Three great events
claim, at the prhsetYt moment, our chief attention—
the advance of the Russian troop into Hungary,
the approach of a French army to Rime, and lastly,
the prospect of a seriOus coolest between all the
existing governments of Germany, and in large mas
ses of the people - already pledged to risk hverything
in defence of national unity mid Democratic insti
tutions. We believe" that, in this country, these
events are unanimously regarded, by men of aldpar
ties, with serious apprehensions, and sincere regret.
They bode no good to Europe, or to the times we live
in. They menace, the world with a conflict of ex
treme parties. BM as the tempest blackens, any
br day, it is 'imposs ible to deny that the chances of
any rational compromise or adjustment of these dif
ferences diminish, and they are left more end more
to the arbitration of the sword. Yet, even when
this conflict has been fought and won, the victori
ous party, whichever it may be, will beelike embar
rassed to restore the tranquility of society, and the
authority of government, either by the force of mil
itary despotism, or by the license of unlimited De
incicracyondon Times, May 10.
The able organ of British privilege does not his;
itate to admit, that in the general crash of error in
the old world, it will be hard for the English super
structure to stand firm. The result it deplores
cannot be kept back by vain regrets however it may
be retarded by armies. There can be no cornpr»-
rnise between elements diametrically and implacably
hostile. There cat be no compromise between mil-,
lions, long crushed and bleeding tinder the heel of
power, and those who believe themselves tube God's
' vice-regents on earth. The sword must settle it;
and as the Lord gave triumph to thearmies of free
dom here, so at last He will send it to the people
over the waters. "When the victory is fought and
won"—and it will never be till the people succeed—
let the London Times be well assured, peace will
nestle at every hearth-stone, inthistry will flourish,
arts will multiply,' and Man will acknowledge no
other superior but his Maker.—Pcnnsylvoi
INDICY Flotrr.—Five Hundred reported Killed.
—A gentleman who came, down from the Indian
country a few days since, informs us that a runner
came irT ju,dt, before he left, and reported that a san
guinary battle had been fought on the prairies be
tween the Camanches and an allied force of several
other trihea led by a Shawnee chief, and that after
a desperate fight, in which about five hundred were
slain, the Cainanches fled, leaving the field in pos
session of the victors.
We give this account as we have it frnm our in
formant. It may he a false report, but the gentle
man who gave us the information, states that the
Indians had recently made large purchases of pow
der and lead, and it was feared by many that there
would be trouble among the Indians on the Plaine.

DISTRESSING NEWS FROM IRELAND.
From the Spiritof the Times. -1
Misery and starvation appears to be the fate of that
glorious country. If the people do not all emigrate
they must die:of eithpr hunger oOisease. But emi.
gcation is fast goiug,on. In the House of cOnimona
Mr. itlonsell said that emigration :was goingi
but the persons who were emigrating- were the em
ployers of labor—they were farmers, with catilital.—
The'returns from Kilkenna; Kanturk, Turles,
Mac
room, alt testified to the emigration of comfo rtable ;
farmers from all parts of Ireland. He had at least
70 returns to the same effect.,
The Westpoint district, in tle,county of Mayo, is
in an awful position. A petition to ,the- Holm°, of
Commonons states this district is reduced to utter
destitution;—the great bulk of • the people, starving,
while the lands from wh'cli they have been butfished
lie for the most part a barren waste.
In must instances the sick and dying' have no
house to shelter them, no day or night covering to
screen them from -the inclemency of the . weather
they ure, to be seen, in this deploreable condition,
stuck in holes and sandpits along the highways,
themselves having been generally obliged todemol
ish their cabins as a necessary condition to obtain out
door relief!
Another account says, "The people are withering
with fear and in multitudes. Deaths numerous, but
coffins few, hurried without coffins in dykes and
ditches, and many—tnany distigured by rate. In one
mountaineous parish, upwards of nineteen ,hundred
of God's people felrvictims to this devouring famine
- 7 more than-seven hundred families are wandering
Without a houSe to put their heads into."
In the country of ‘Vestmeath upwards of six
thousand acres of rich grazing land are to be
let, the owners being nimbi° to stuck thorn with cat
tle.,, In Meathland other counties of Leinster, many
grazing farms are untenanted, the former occupiers
having sold error emigranted.
A writer in the London Times says:
. "Yon have no idea of \ tke gentry in this country
(Roscoinnion.) I mean tlpise who have nothing but
estates; they are starving—yes, indeed, starving!—
A lady, who hoe an estate orthreekundred acres of
land forever, at 6p: per acre,lniis just been to tell the
that fur 27 hours her family ha not tasted food!"
The military is being reducedNThe regiment.of
cavalry, twenty-six of infantry,' an 'nine depots of
infantry, regiments are no stationed in Ireland,
making about 31,000 men of all ranks: As the 75th
foot is new iitcourse of emharciition 'at Cork for
India, and the 69th is to proceed in a feW weeks to
Hong Kiln, there will be a reduction &about 2,-
203 men.
Iluxesnir.—lluttgaryi-at this moment, is attrac- ,
ling the attention of the whu'e world., Her success
and the justness of her 'cause, secure her universal
sympathy. She has never been a province of Aus•
trio, but always and independent kingdom. Her re=
lotion to Austria began by, no union of their crowns
through marriage. The Emperor of Austria be
came, by virtue of a Hungarian bride, King of Hun
gary. In the saLne manner Austria allied herself to
Bohemia. But Hungary retained her Diet, her min
istry, and her constitution i:iviolote. She stands
whole pow, as she stood 800 yeari ago. The rel
ative and ally of Austria. she Las proved her devo
tion to the empire -by boundless) sacrifices.., Still
she has resisted every attempt to destroy • her con
stitution, or to merge her in the empire. She
would not be taxed nor levied upon for soldiers,
without the eonsent'of her Diet, a body elective, and
assembling every three years. %Vital, is now called
her insurrection, is but a struggle to retain her con
stitution and s nationalitY, which Austria, sworn to
protect, has sought to destroy, that Hungary might
be known only ns a -portion of Austria.
The population of Iltinoary is 8,000,000, or one- -
third of what hus been called the Austrian Empire.
Croatia is properly a province of Ilmigary,, though
the Croats' have been set upon the Hungarians by
Austria, and defeated as they deserved. The Hun
garians are brave, generous, proud, and quite as
intelligent as-the Austrians. They have, a noble
country, highly cultivated and we:l governed. They
are*the finest soldiers is Europe. Kossuth, who has
been elected the first President of Hungary, and who
is the leader of her armies, is ONO of the middle
classes, and the most eloquent men in the nation.
Georgy is little more than a Hungarian buy in
Sears, though old in genius and valor. Item and
Dembinski are Poles, the former a noble, and one of
the beet military leaders in the world. Hungary
min bring into the field between 200,000 and 300,-
000 soldiers, of whom 60,000 are mounted. Her
chances of ultimate triumph are great.—N. Y. Sun
Mont:Got-ie.—The Van Buren, Arkansas, Intel
ligencer •of the 19th May, says that a party,bas been
organized by Col. Wm. Black . ,of Arkansas, for the
purpose of exploring a gold region on the Arkansas
river, w h ich he alleges to have visited in company
with about twenty persons in the summer of 18:16.
That paper continues: Vague rumors and a thou
sand reports have reached us from time to time,
through various channels, all pointing to Walnut
Creek as a gold region. The Mt:Nuke, of the Cher
okee Nation, are men of the highest credibility, and
their statements are all •to be relied - upon. And
hear their account: Twenty years after Colonel
Black rettAned, these men %011ie on a hunt, come
accidentally upon these sands. Nut what
they were, they washed them out from the earth,
and brought in a small parcel, which proved to, be
pure gold. Upon comparing notes, Col. Black and
McNairs discovered that .. it was on the same creek,
surrounded by the sante 'physical features, these gol
den sands were seen by each, although in n space of
twenty years apart. tio striking and contineinir
are the evidences that botli parties agree to lit out a
mining expedition to thatregion: • And such are the
integrity and standing of these men, that numbers
of persona are willing to embark in the enterprise.

citizens of thin county, who returned from the plains
on Wednesday last, we gather n few items of Intel=
lig,ence from the emigrants. Mr, it;t. was out, 140
miles, and was on his way to California, but for
reasons best known to himself concluded to aban
don the trip. A largo number of wagons ,were in
advance of him, and on his return to this place he
met 1,125 wagons. He states that Much dissatis
faction exist among the emigrants, owing to the
great crowd of wagons on the plains, it being a mat
ter of impossibility for all to get along peacebly--
A large number of emigrants had died with the
Cholera, and disease was still anion them. Id one
encampmentover night eight persons died. A num
ber of companies have iiartially broken up, a por
tion of the members becoming tired of the expedi-.
OM and anxious to return to their families. such
a course they think is justified by prodeco and a
love of life. From what Mr. Gilmore &Uri learn
on his return, he thinks upwards of two , hundred
emigrants must. have died on tint plains—and sick
ness still among them.
Mr. O. remained o few hours with the pack mule
company from this place. A few of the menthers
had been sick, and a young man by the name of
Samuel Wilson, furmerly a resident of ibis place,
died of the Cholera. Mr. Wllano,,we believe, has
a brother residing in Oregon, Ilult county, Mo.—
Mr. Ryan and Andrews had an attack, but were
considered out of danger. 'These "'gentlemen had
purchased a light wagon, with the expectation. of
returning. Tho other members of the company
were all in good health.
RAILROAD 9 WRST.—The line of railroads along
the South ern shore of Lake Erie is destined to be
completed at no distant:day. The last Cleaveland
Plain Dealer says that about one hundred men are
engaged on the continuation of the Cincinnati„ and
Sandusky Rai!read, between Sandusky nndleve
land, with the intention of extending it to Ithron
the coining season. It will be recollected that the
'same company of Bostonians own the charter, right
of way, Bz.c., of the Ohio Railroad which extends
from the Pennsylvania State line at Conneaut to the
Maumee. This whole line will iindoubtedlyibe
constructed within a few years, and this probaNlity
gives interest and importance to the road bettiben
this city and Erie. It is only about 120 miles to
Conneaut, seventy of which are in this State, and
the construction of a road to intersect that of the
Ohio Company is of the greatest importance. The
line extended no farther than Erie would pay well,•
but when it is completed•so as to intersect the great
outlet of Northwestern Ohio, Northern Indiana,'
and Southern Michigan, on the Maumee, an im—
mense business would-be-tranciacted over it: This
road would give us a winter communication ivith

CHOLERA REMEDIES. '
~ , 1 —l---- •_ •
At tile present moment, when that i
Aire scourge of the
East, Asiatic Cholera, is visiting almost .overy city ) with
more or less virulence, the office of a'newsßaper Editor
is not a very enviable situation. To -day he sees in his
exchanges an:"lrtfallible cure," vouchof for upon what
would seem good authority, and ho is disposed to recom
mend it, or. whet is about fhemamo thing, give it a place
in his Columns, for tbe bertefit of the public. Unacquaint
ed, however, with mediitte, and adMonished by the
Old axiom Of "every man t o e hie trade," prudence dictates
to him to postpone a publication of the "remedy" until
he can be more certain th a t the prescription, ho is about '
to reccmuend, will not have a deleterious' effect, and
prove a propagator insteadlota cure. In the mean time,
a friend and patron sees the "infallible cure," and forth
with hastens tp the Editor'with the enquiry why he has
neglected to ley so important piece of information before
the public. fie explains, or perhaps if in a hurry mere
ly replies that ho did not see it until! too late. The 'friend
vanishes, evidently not satisfied—and the Editor turns to
his pile of exchanges with the consolation of knowing that
for his prudenkir there is one more individual in the World
who thinks Um on ass. Now, wo wore situated some
what similar o this last week, in regard to the "infallible
cure" for Ch bra said to have boon discovered by Dr.
BIRD . , of Chi ago.
Dr. Bien c amts that about six months since his atten
tion was calle to the subjiict,by reading an article from a
Gorman Cheinist in ono of the medical periodicals, in
which it contended thdtinfluenza depended upon the
presence of ozone, and Cu d. chemical analysis proved that
the number of attacks was always in proportion to the
amount of ozone in the aimosphere. Viewing this in
connection with the fact that Cholera
L is generally pre
ceded by the influenza lie came to, the conclusion
that both diseases might I he dependent upon the same
influence, modified in degree according to the greater
or less quantity of this dideterious adont present in the

"t-riocia,s—Ozosz--.Da. llzaracx—Ser.enun.—The
publication in Wed.nesday'a Patriot of the article headed
"Dr Herrick on Cholera," seems to nth so likely to mis
lead the uninformed, multi do mischief to all who look
to the newspapers tor advice on modiooi ookleote thee. I
venture to ask the'privilege of making a few remarks
upon the Chione theory, and the recommendations based
upon it. if the theory had been presented as a mere
speculation, it might have passed without notice; but
coupled as it is with the prescription of sulphur, an ar
ticle likely, under its peculiar laxative properties, to do
harm under the circumstances in question, humanity to
qUires that-tho public should be cautioned agninit the
opinion and practice. ,
The state nent of Dr. Herrick is liable to severe ani
madversion According to his account, he and Dr. Bird
were led to nfer from the suggestion of a German chem
ist, as•to th agency of Ozone in the production of I nflu
enzo, that it might also be the cause of Cholera. Hav
ing arrived t the novel conclusion by the mere force of
genius, the hest step was to find an alitidote, and this the
accurate ch mica! knowledge of DI Bird enabled hini,to
suggest in a Iphur. HOW can anyrnedicul man believe
that Dr. Ile rick was b 0 ignorant of foreign medical lit
erature, as lot to know that this inference as to the Ozon
ic origin of holora, was so familiar as to have been' al
ready Ann andy tested and found to bo idlo7 And can
anybody be love that rit. Bird drew, open his "accurate
chemical kJ owlodgo" for the suggestion of sulphur as
the antidote, when tho Caine page of the periodical on
which ho p ohahly read the article,from a German chem
ist, (page 5 :J., April number of the American Journal
of the Medi ill Sciences,) contained also the identical
"stilplittrou "suggestion?. -
As to Oz ne, it may be well to remark that diligent
search was made fur it in the air of the most crowded
cholera hosiiituls, as well as in the external air of St. Pe
tersburgh, during the Into prevalence of the epidemic,
without the least success, as may be seen by the report
of Dr. Muller ,to the Hanoverian government. These
experiments wore made in 18 . 48, just about a year before
Dr. Herrick and Dr. Bird drew their celebrated inference.
Perhaps, however, it may quiet tho nerves of some of
your timid '
readers to know that upon experiment I find
no Ozone in our atmosphere. a a
By the bye. I may remark that if ozone be the cause
of cholera, drunkards are perfectly safe, and grogshops
are the primer places of refuge, for by n sketch of
"chemical" knowliige, "accurate" as Dr. Bird's, I
find that the vapour of alcohol is also an antidote."

'GRATUITOUS Pnerruco.—Although we do yearly an
amount of gratuitous advertising for all sorts of benevo

We refuse—we are rather benevolent, but not quite bone•
violent enough tolirmber up our columns without being
paid sufficient to defray the expense of composition, .at

A mutual insurance company is formed, consequently
notices have to be published from time to time for the
meeting of directors, for the election of officers, dc.
Now the man would be deemed insane who- would ask
the several papers in this city to give all these necessary
notices for nothing! And yet the mutual insurance
company is of great public interest. An agricultural so
ciety is formed, which, like .the insurance company, is
calculated to benefit tho members is a pecuniary, as wall
as many other points of view, and yet the very gentle.
men'who would not think of asking the press to do the
insurance companies, printing for nothing, do not hesitate
to ask us to do the latter "without money and without
pilots " There may ho some who aro soft enough to
work for nothing—to hire a journeyman and pay him for
the benefit of the members of the numerous societies
formed in "these latter days"—but we beg not to bo
reckoned in that category. The Agricultural Society of
Erie county is composed of et largo portion of our most
wealthy citizens—the' amount which each ono would
have to pay to their Treasurer to defray their printing
Lille at all the offices in this city, would not purchtio
one of them a glass of "pop" or lemonade—nevor
thelens iu the aggregate it would buy each one of the
printing offices in this city a barrel of flour. But say
the officers of this society, you have to set up so much
matter at any rate, and you may as well set up this an
something else. Granted—but upon this same argu
ment. wo may us well advertise for any body else for no
thing. No, no, gentlenien; wo buy type, ink and paper,
pay rent, journeymen and apprentices, to enable us to do
printing to make a living by, and it in not exactly gener
ous to ask us to work for nothing! Nut, however, to ho
considered mean in this particular, wo aro wiling to

Maker, who will make our shoes for nothing—a farmer,

—and other mechanics, who will do the various jobs wo

every thing else in our line, for the Janie pay. That's f,dr,
certainly—“what is sauce fur tho goose is sauce for the
gander."
Wo have been lend to these remarks because we Were
taken to taskc lately by a person iI friend, whose good
opinion we esteem, for 'legit eiing to make the public
acquainted with all the facts the Akers of this excellent
society deem necessary should be spread before our rea
ders in the shape of advertisments; and although we
have spoken with direct reference to the society named,
we do not wish what we have said to be or erlooke I by
the constantly increasing number of societies and indt-s

No Porter YET.—The N. Y. Courier cries out for "an
adminisiratire policy—dear, comprehensive, adapted to
the wants of the country, und 'echoing the public senti
ment. The government must be conducted upon some
'plan—shaped to attain some certain definite end, and fit
ted to meet the wishes nud the views of the great holy
of the administration party throughout the Union."
From this it appears that although the whig party are
eternally prating about tieir "principles," they have yet
no "administrative polity" "adapted to the wants of the
country." Is not this a humiliating confession for a
whig! Fur years a groat party, claiming all the "intel
ligence," all the "learning" and all the ”respeetability"
of the country, have been „contending for no "policy'?
."adapted to the wants of the country." For years they
have been contending without tiny "plan" or any "cer

late day, when an aohn nihtration brought - into 'power,
according- to one of their own organs, without any "cer
