Burgundy Pitch— reputed efficacij in Cholera. 



The following is a somewhat sin<riilai- extract 



of a letter from a gentleman in Glasgow to his 

 friend in Leith. 



" Last night I received from my father who re- 

 sides in Frankfort, a proclamation from the Prus- 

 sian and Austrian Governments, by which it ap- 

 pears that the annexed plaster is a most complete 

 preventive against the Cholera ; of 10,000 people 

 who have put them on, not one has been attacked, 

 though in the midst of the disease. I have 

 immediately comnninicated this simple remedy to 

 our Board of Health who highly approved of it, 

 and are getting them made by the thousands. 

 The plaster alluded to is of Burgundy pitch, com- 

 monly called strengthening plaster ; the upper 

 part of the peaked form to be put on the chest, 

 and the lower part expanded, and to cover the pit 

 of the stomach." 



The Montreal Courant niakes this singular state- 

 ment. " About 2000 deaths have occurred on the 

 Island of Montreal since the ravages of Cholera 

 commenced ; of these, about seven hundred were 

 adult males, and of those 700, not twenty persons 

 totally abstained from intoxicating drink — we say 

 not twenty because we do not wish to color the 

 matter too highly, though froin our personal 

 knowledge, we only know of two persons who 

 acted on the principles of total abstinence, who 

 have fallen. One oi.t of every 18 or 19 of our 

 citizens have fallen, wliilst not one out of every 

 200 of the consistent and firm members of the 

 Temperance Societies of this city have died. 



Hint to Floiists. — At the Bury Horticultural 

 Society's show, last week, a plant of mignionette 

 was exhibited and greatly admired. Perhaps our 

 readers generally are not aware that they, with a 

 little attention, may soon possess themselves of a 

 similar shrub, simply by training a plant of com- 

 mon mignionette np a stick, and cutting off the 

 lower leaves and shoots, and never allowing the 

 plant to ripen its seeds. — English paper. 



Com. — An agricultural friend sent us the fol- 

 lowing memoranda yesterday : No one need des- 

 pair of a crop of Corn this year; it never grew 

 more rapidly, and it is at least more forward by a 

 week, than it was in 1816 — and the cars are form- 

 ing in unusual abundance — and we have no rea- 

 son to apprcJiend a frost so early as we had that 

 year. — JVewburyport Herald.

Cardozo Arabian, for Sale. 



THIS entire Horse was imported into Boston, June 

 15th. 1832, by Messrs R. D. Tucker & Son, in the brig 

 Caroline from Gibraltar, and is of the purest Arabian cast, 

 as will appear by the subjoined certificate. This horse 

 is of llie largest class of Arabians ', of dapple bay color ; 

 black less, main, and tail ; and measures fourteen hands 

 three inches in height; uncommonly large bono ; miis- 

 cles and tendons strongly dehneated ; of irrepressible 

 spirits, and perfectly docile. His points, when abstract- 

 edly examined, are in most respects without fault, and 

 collcclively they form an animal surpassed by few for 

 symmetry — leaving no doubts on the minds of judges, 

 that lie is a true son of the desert without any collateral 

 admixture. 



A more particular description of this horse is not deem- 

 ed necessary at this time, as it is presumed no gentleman 

 will purchase so valuable an animal without minutely 

 examining him. 



We the undersigned do hereby certify, that the ches- 

 nut horse, five years old, with a white spot on the fore- 

 head, was sent from Oran to Consul Cardozo, and that 

 said horse is of the purest Arabian breed. 



In testimony whereof we give the present in Gibraltar, 

 this 3d day of Del Hogia, year of Elgira 1247.

Gibraltar, May 4, 1832. 



E.vtract of a letter from Horatio Sprague, Esq. of Gibraltar. 



" This horse was a present to Aaron Cardozo. Esq. 

 Consul General for the Eaibary Powers, a talented and 

 wealthy gentleman, who prefers living with the nobility 

 in Portugal to residing in this place. The then governor 

 of Gibraltar, General Sir George Don, made a pioposal 

 to purchase this horse to send to England. 



" As soon as the nephew of Sen. Cardozo, who is a 

 particular i'riend of mine, residing here, had orders to sell 

 the horse, he immediately made me the offer of purchas- 

 ing him ; and the Caroline with Capt. Gale's kindness, 

 offering a good opportunity, I purchased him, believing 

 his worth to be £500 sterling, to any man, and event- 

 ually of essential service to my native country." 



Application to be made to SAMUEL JAQUES, at the 

 Ten Hills Stocci Farm, Charlestown, Mass. where the 

 horse may be examined. Aug. 15.

BRIGHTON MARKET.— Monday, August 20, 1832. 

 Reported for the Daily Advestieer and P.itriot. 



At Market this day 730 Beef Cattle, 86 Stores, 15 

 Cows and Calves, and 3264 Sheep. From 150 to 

 175 Beef Cattle remain unsold at the close of the market, 

 (most of which are small cattle.) 



Prices. Beef Cattle — The unusual number at mark- 

 et of Beef Cattle caused sales to go off heavy and slow, 

 and at a considerable depreciation from last week. A 

 large proportion of the Cattle at Market were small, 

 (say two and three years old.) We quote extra at .$5,50 ; 

 -rime at $5,00 a $5,25 ; good at $4,50 a $5,00 ; thin at 3, 

 50 a $4,25. We also noticed a number " scape-goats" 

 taken at $3. 



Stores. — We noticed a few sales. 



Cotes and Calves. — Sales were effected at .f; 16, 18, 

 21, 25, and 27,50. 



Sheep. — Rather dull, lots of Lambs with a few old 

 Sheep were taken at $1,25, 1,37, 1,50, 1,67, 1,75, 1,92, 

 2,00, 2,17, 2,25, and 2,33. 



Stcine.— None at Market.
