The Cholera has entirely disappeared from Cincinnati. 

 Dr Kearney, fleet surgeon of the United States naval 

 force in the West Indies, in a letter to the department, 

 attributes the unusual exemption of the ship Vandalia 

 from sickness, mainly to cleanliness, ventilation aid 

 the general use of chlorides of soda and lime as disen- 

 fecting agents ; to whi«h may be added, as auxiliaries, 

 the use, with other precautions, of the subacid fruits oi 

 intertropical climates, and an abstinence, as far as prac- 

 ticable, from the use of "grog." 



He says that a large number of the crew have com- 

 muted their rations of whiskey for pay. 



An Earthquake was felt at Virginia on the morning 

 of the 27th ult. at about half past 6. Vibrations were 

 also perceived in several parts of the State. 



Christ Healing the Sick, a copy of West's celebrated 

 painting by Chapin, was sold at auction at Boston, on 

 Friday last, for $175, to Capt. Singleton. 



The heirs of the Houses of England, Spain and PorU- 

 gal, are little girls. This is an admirable commentary 

 on the absurdities of hereditary monarchy. 



Mount Vesuvius has been in a state of eruption sines 

 the 28th of May, and is daily thronged with thousand;, 

 many of whom pass the night at the brink of the crate.-. 

 At about fifty paces from the burning bed of lava,bootls 

 are erected for supplying refreshments. 



An Ice House, surrounded oh every side with char- 

 coal, lined with lead, and capable of preserving ice from 

 shore to shore without the least difficulty, has been 

 placed on the deck of the new ship Utica, of the New- 

 York line of Havre Packets. 



It appears from the society of Friends, that in cinse- 

 quence of their habitual temperance, one half of thi so- 

 ciety live to the age of 47 ; and that 1 in 10 lives tobe 

 80 ; whereas the average of human life is 33 years, and 

 not more than 1 in 40 of the general population, lives to 

 be 80 years of age. The amount of human life tlus 

 gained in temperance, is more than the difference be- 

 tween 33 and 47 — or an average of 14 years gained oi 

 every life— which is equal to 42 per cent. — Judge 

 Crunch's Address.
