There has been in fiprminr. nnrl af tlita ; time particularly in Bavaria, a scientific' i medical examining cnmml.. ;,j ' concerning the nature and the spreadine of ' the Cholera, and the mean, of nrntP,.i against it. An effectual check has.in fact, ' been given on this disease. Tbe Bavarian j Sanitats Commission, after spending more ; than a year in research, has at length re- ; ported through its Chairman, Prof. Dr. . . . i 1 ettexkofer, a man known alike in sci . . Cncc and in business, in the latter as hav- ing made a highly valuable discovery in j Gas illumination. This report has given so important a disclosure, and is of such , weighty interest, to the subduement oi the cholera epidemic, that the Government in . . .. ... ltavnri-1 imrnnri atalw el cp;.moX .....

", . 4 " . and of late in Bavaria, were exactly the m. Th . 1.M Prof r,l . .v ' already prophesied that Wurtiburg would j never have a cholera epidemic, and so in j fact it was. Pettenkoffcr thinks that if this great scholar had read the reports of diseases in India and England, he would, setting aside his enlightened scientific dis cernment and knowledge, most certainly have come to tbe same conclusion, so clear and definite are tbc signs. The principal results that have becu attained in this Im port, by means of hundreds of thousands of facts of the most convincing kiud, may ' mprised in the following 1. There is really no cholera-catching ! matter (contagion) in the common accep- "" " nevcrtne.ess, tne dis- ease an be conveyed from one place to an- other. o jhe cuolcr;l alW3yg ta in tte dircctioa of the natur: .kes its course natural passages of trade, (rivers, lakes, etc.) 3. The height of a place above or below tho level of the sea, is not material to the reception of the disease. 4. The air contains no cholera-catching nutter, and tbe disease therefore does not follow the direction of the wind. 5. Just as little is it carried forward by or spread through water. G. In return, the earth receives and de vclopes the cholera-catching matter from the excrements of cholera patients. 7. The excrements of patients in privy- vaults or close-stools generate the catching matter, and are tho real cause of the same. ! 8. The jsses that are developed by the ' decomposition of organic matter, and par ticularly of excrements, permeate the earth, rise to the surface, and become the ' caascs of fevers and cholera. 9. Not a single cholera case was observ ed in Bavaria, the cause of which could not be traced back to this kind of infec tion; 10. Thc close-stools of persons that are infected, and are in the first stave of the disease, and especially of those who areal-! ready suffering from that Diarhuca, which is always the forerunner of the real chole ra, are more contagious than those of per sons who have the cholera as a disease. 1 1. The cholera has always been brought to a place in which the epidemic never bo- of different countries to this subject, on foro appeared, by a sick pcrson,and in fact ! which they had before thought very little, its spread caused by means of the excre-! It would be impossible to describe the mis ments of the same coming in contact with j erablo state in which he fonnd many of the thc earth. In no other way docs this prisons. Men who had grown old io crime, ronaation take place. Direct ccnt-ct! S. with the patient, the inhalation of tho air' . ., I in the sick room,tbe waabiogof the corpse, ; yes, even the disseMiuo of the same, does not impart the disease. 12. Not every species of earth acts on the decomposing process in the same man ner, and the spreading of the catching mat ter is therefore dependent upon the consti tution of tbe soil on which the buildings ' have been erected. On rocky soil, granite, I or sandstone, the cholera never becomes i epidemical. In return, on clay or calcare ! ous earth, or, in general, in earth that tcr nounsues ocst. 13. The cholera poison can be kept with- j I iu a person lor inun one to -.wt-uiy-eigui. dnys before breaking out This accounts for the spreading of thc cholera to dUtaut e . C . I . places. 14. Thc disease U imparted to the ten - ants of a house, that have not been infect - ed by direct contact, by sleeping in apart- mcnts to which the above named catching poison can come. 15. To prevent further infection and spreading, the close-stools must, before thcy are emptied, be made harmless, by an aauuion 01 suipuate ot iron or green cop- peras, uissoivea in water. i,niorme 01 . l'lnC does Dot Suffice, because it Only puH- ; Cos the air, and docs not destroy the chol- i,.

I - October strews the woodland o'er With many a brilliant color: The world is briehter than before Why should our hearts be duller t Sorrow and the scarlet leaf, Sad thoughts and sunny weather, Ah me! this glory and this grief Agree not well together. This is the parting season, this The time when friends are dying, And lovers now, with many a kiss, Their long farewells are sighing; Why is ear.h so gaily drest This pomp that Autumn beareth, A funeral .seems where every guest A iiridal garment weareth. Ear.h one of us, perchance, may here, (In some blue morn hereafter. Return lo view the gaudy year. But not with boyish lauehteri We shall then be wrinkled men. Our brows wilh silver laden ; And thou this glen may'st seek again But never more a maiden! Nature, perhaps, forsees that Spring Will touch her teeming bosom. And that a few brief months will bring The bee, the bird, the blossom ; Ah ! these forests do not know Or would less bri;hily wither The virgin that adorns them so, Wrill never more come hither. Howard, the Philanthropist. In the town of Cardiugton, iu England, once lived a very good man named John Howard. He had a large house and fine ' farm, and hired many servants. His wife j was a kind and gentle lady, and made all ! around her happy. But suddenly the good Mrs. Howard died, and her husband was left sad and lonely for his only child waa still a very small boy, not old enough to comfort his sorrowing father. Mr. llow- ard's home had lost its brightness, and be bow resolvod to follow the example of our Savior, who, while oti earth, went about doing good. Having placed his son under the care of a good woinan,he began to visit the prisons in the ceighborhood.

At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon tho ' barque Release, in comptny with the pro- peller Arctic, bovs to off the quarantine, ! where they were boarded by tbe health of- ' ficer, and permitted to pass np to the city. Tne appearance of these vessels coming up .ne narbor was the cause of considerable ! excitement on shore, and on tho decks of j those ships which they passed io their course, the news having by this time been circulated that Dr. Kane and bis party were on board. Many of the steamers plying across the harbor steamed close to them, in order to give their passengers an opportunity of welcoming the returning wanderers with cheers -, and irom the decks and rigging of ships, from the forts, and, in fact, from every availablo position, thrco cheers were iWeed and prolonged until the vessels Deared tbe Battery, abreast of which tbey ,. and now remain. Our reporters here boarded the vessels, and found Dr. Kane and most of his company on board the Release, in excellent health and spi rits.
