Perfect quietude, then, on the back, is 'the first, the imperative, the essential step towards the cure of any case of ehol era. To this art may lend her aid to- wards making that quietude more perfect, ( by binding a cloth around the belly pret- . ty firmly. This acts beneficially in di- , minishing tho room within tho abdomen for motion; a man may b&Q pressed in ; a crowd as not to be able fo'6tir.

If this cloth its of stout woolen flannel, it has two additional advantages its roughness irritates the skin, and draws the blood to the surface from the inter ior, and by its warmth, retains that blood there; thus preventing that cold, clammy condition of the skin which takes place in the last staces of cholcry. Facts con firm this. When the Asiatic scourge Grst broke out among the German soldiery, immense numbers perished; but an im perative order was issued, in the hottest weather, that each soldier wear a stout, woollen flannel abdominial compress, and immediately the fatality diminished mora than fifty per cent. If the reader will try it, even in cases of common looseness of bowels, he will generally find the most grateful and instantaneous relief. The second indication of instinct is to quench the thirst. When the disease now called cholera made itfir;-t appear ance in the United States, in 1 831 T it was generally believed that, the drinking of cold waterj soon after calomel was taken, would certainly cause a!ivatioB; and, as calomel was usuallv ti v-fn cold water was strictly interdicted. Some of the most heart rending appeals I have ever noticed were for water, water! I havo seen thc patient with deathly eagerness mouthe the ringer ends of the nurse, for thc sake of a drop or two of cold water there while washing the face. There aro two ways of quenching this thirst cold water and ice. Cold water often causes a sense of fullness or oppresion, and not always satisfying; at other times the stom ach is so very irritable, that it is ejected in a moment. Ice does not give that un pleasant fullness, nor does it increase the thirst, as cold water sometimes does, while the quantity requiredps very mueh reduced. The Srsi ftep then to be taken where cholera prevails and its symptoms stm present, is : To lie down on a bed. 2d. Bind the abdomen tightly wih woollen flannel. 3d. Swallow pellets of ice to thc ftrHesfc extent practicable. . 4th. Send for an established, resident, regular phj-sician. Touch not an atom of the thousand things proposed by brains as 'simple as the remedies aro represent ed to be, but wait quietly and pafcieutly until the arrival of your medical attend ant. But many of my readers may not be in" a condition by distance or otherwise,' wiiere it is not possible to obtain a phy sician for several hour?, and where sack a delay might prove fatal. Under such eircumstances; obtain ten grains of calo mel, and make it into a pill with a few drops of cold water; dry it a little by the fire or in the sun, and swalow it down. If thc passages do not cea-e within two hours, then swallow two more of said pill?, and continue to swallow two more at tko end of each two hours until the bowel ceaso to givo light colored passage, or until the physician arrive". Foreign Neirs. Four Days Later from Europe. Arrival ol' the Steamship Ummh Estreat of the P.U33ians-Capture of Aland Reported Battle between the Turks and Kussians-2000 Russians killed and 500 Captured Later from Madrid. Sandy Hook, August 1G. The steam ship Uuion, from Havre, with dates to the 2d inst, arrived this mrning. The steamer Biitic arrived out at 4 o' clock on Wednesday morning. The steamship America arrived at Liv erpool on '31st ult. On thc 00th ult., the ship Marathon arrived at Liverpool, and reports having been struck by lightning. The latest intelligence from Spain is, that Espartero has entered Madrid amid the most enthusiastic acclamations of tho populace. The Queen has fully agraed to tho programme prepared by him of n now Ministry, and tranquility has been restored. Tho Queen Christina is allowed toleavo Spain without violence, but if sho hesi tates she is to be removed by force. The retreat of the Russian army'isr an nounced, aud the design appears to be to fall back on Sercth. An expedition to the Crimea hits been resolved upon by tho allied forces. Nothing new has transpired from tho Baltic except a rumor that the Aland Isl ands, at the mouth of the Gulf of Bathitin, have b.uen captured, with great loss, of life. This needs confirmation. Another Reported Battle A telegraphic dispatch from Yiefta.1 slates that tho Russians were totally; de feated at Slobodgie on the 23d of July, by the Turks, and lost 2000 men iu kil led and wounded and 500 prisouers. Austrian correspondence, however, cou tradicts this story. Thirty thousand Turks have crested the Danube at Olteuitza. British and French officers ware con tinually arriving at Rutschuclc from, Schumla. Tho division of Prince Napoleon would probably first enter Wallachia. Every thing indicates an intention of making a vigorous struggle at BuTciharast. "A grand council of war belwten He allied generals was held at Varna qb 10th, - - i 1 ij-awteiiihlfiiillifeiB
