Electricity aid Chdlera—A Solution »f the Question. .. Dr. Audr&nd, of Paris, has comtnuru* cated 10 the Academy of Sciences, the following interesting letter upon the con* nection between the Cholera and Elec* Uicity, which appears to be 9 decisive solution of the presence of that epidemic.
PARIS,June 1,1849.—Throughout the varying courses of the ravages of the cholera in Paris, that is to say during /he past three months nearly, I have studied the action of the electric machine •daily, in order to satisfy myself whether there is not a fixed connection between the intensity of that scourge and the absence of the electrical fluid unusually diffused throughout the atmosphere.
The machine which has been the object of my daily observations is a very powerful one—at ordinary timesit throws off, after two or three turns of the wheel, detonating sparks from two to two and a half inches in length. I at first observed that from the commencement of the epidemic, it was impossible for me to produce this result once. Duriog the months of April and May, the sparks, obtained with great difficulty, never exceeded seven-tenths of an inch, and the variations agreed very closely with the irregularities of the cholera. This supplied at once a strong ground of belief that 1 was close upon the important fact I aought to establish yet I was not quite convinced, since the variable moisture of the atmosphere might have caused the irregularities of the machine.
I awaited, therefore, with impatience, the coming fine weather and heat, to continue my observations with more certainty. Heat and fine weather at length came, and to my amazement the machine, though often referred to, far from denoting, as should have been the case, an increase of electricity, only gave more and more feeble indications of it, to such a degree, that during the days of the 4ih, 6ih and 6th of June, it was impossible to obtain more than slight cracklings, without sparks, and at length on the 7th, the machine remained entirely silent. This new decrease of the electric fluid coincided perfectly, as is well known, with the violence of the cholera. For my part, I felt appalled rather than surprised, my conviction was fixed, and I saw in it but the result of clearly established fact.
It may be imagined with what anxiety, in those critical instnnts, I consulted the machine, the sad and truthful witness to a great calamity. At length on -the morning of the 8th, feeble sparks reappeared, their intensity increased from hour to hour, and 1 perceived with joy that the life-giving fluid was returning into the atmospheric void. Towards the evening a storm announced to Paris that electricity had re-entered its domain in my view the cholera was vanishing with the cause that produced it. The next day, Saturday, the 9th, my experiments were continued, and every 'thing had then returned to its proper "condition the machine, at the slightest touch, threw out brilliant sparks with •ease, and, it might almost be said, with delight, as if nware of the good tidings 'it was bringing. 1 have thought it my duty, Mr. President, to Communicate these facts immediately to the Academy. The question appears to ine entirely solved. Nature has infused into the atmosphere a mass of electricity, contributing to the service and support of life. If, by any cause, this mass (if electricity is diminished, .and sometimes decreased oven to exhaustion, what follows Kvery one suffers those who tarry within a sufficient supply of electricity, withstand it those who can live only by borrowing electricity from the common mass, perish with the exhaustion of that mass. This is a clear and perfectly rational explanation, not only of the cholera, but perhaps of all other epidemics that at intervals afflict humanity. If the great fact in question were recognised and admitted «s a principle, think it would be easy for medical science, professing as it does countless ways of producing and restraining electricity, to prepare for a successful resistance, upon its reappearance, of a plague which regard at present as, at least, arrested In its course, if it has not wholly vanished.
Accept, Mr. President, the assurance of my respectful regard. AUDRAND.
•THE DEAD ALIVE/—\Ve find the fol lowing singular circumstance recorded in the Commercial of yesterday:
We learn from Col. Williamson, of Lockland, that a man was seized with cholera in that town on Wednesday, and died in a few hours—or rather he was pronounced dead, and the paraphernalia of mourning was assumed. The body was laid out and placed in the coffin but a few hours previous to the time appointed for the funeral, the dead man rose from, his coffin, to the great terror of those around and walked out of his shroud! He divested himself of the garments of the grave, and is now apparently a well man. It is needless to add thai ho sent the coffin back, bavin no further use for it. This ia true, an another warning against too much is haste in burials.
Since the appearance of the cholera in France 18,961 persons have d»e*d, and 27,054 have been attacked by the disease. The Medical Union, however, states that this is much less than the exact number ®f sufferers. At Paris* for instance in the interior of the city only the fatal cases ai known. In 1832, in tf»e same space of time, more than 120,000persons died. Up to June 17, there had been in the civil and mil itary hospitals of Paris 11,689 cases of cholera, 5,951 deaths, and 3,931 persons cured. Of all the civil hospitals the Hotel Dicu had received the greatest number of patients, and had also, in proportion, discharged the greatest num* ber as cured.
MORTALITY IX THE PTONTENTIART.-— There have been one hundred deaths among the convicts ef the Penitentiary, from the 30th of June to this, the 16th dav of July, at 12 o'clock—of which 97 have been of cholera. The whole number of convicts in prison on the 30th of November last, (as per Warden's report,) was 435. From this come uty may be formed of the degree ofsuffenng there during the lest two weeks.—Ohio State Journal-
'^Jhltlier Mathew—iDCtitmts, Ate. Tft* Ifisli population at New York seerhed to hall this temperance hero as a "Patron Saint," and flocked around him With a feeling akin to wowhip. Some, Htdettd, fell upon their knees, others put up their prayers aloud, and some were almost frantic with expressions of joy. There was no doubt much of national pride in nil this, and it was a day and an occasion of which Irishmen might well be proud. The Express says that it was really affecting to watch their enthusiasm, at the Governor's Rooms in the City Hall where he held a reception on Tuesday morning. The door was constantly besieged with applicants to shake his hand. Many of them coming in without their coats and their clothes in rags, would kneel before him with the greatest reverence and kiss his hand, which he in vain attempted to prevent. About a quarter past eleven, one poor Irishman named Francis O'Conner, expressed a wish to take the Pledge. Accordingly, by Father Muthew's direction, he kneeled down and took the pledge as follows on the spot:
MI
prom
ise, with the Divine assistance to abstain from all intoxicating liquots cordials, cider, and fruit liquors and to prevent as much as possible by advice and example, intemperance in others." He then gave him his blessing, and the poor man went on his way rejoicing, with the assurance from Father Mathew that he was the first man who had received the pledge from him in America.
A few minutes afterwards, however, an Irish woman named Mary Fagan, quite poorly but neatly dressed, kneeled at his feet, and likewise took the pledge as above, the second in America thdt received it from his hands.
About 12, M., a man named Michael Sullivan, whose face was very much scarred as if he had been on a spree, came up. As he was going away Father Maihew said to him that he ought to take the pledge. The poor man replied that he might not have it offered to him again, by so great a man, and knelt down on the spot. Just then a fourth, named VVm. Quin, exclaimed that's a good example Father, I'll take it too." The pledge was scarcely administered, when one John Moran said, "Father Maihew, 1 want to take the pledge," and it was accordingly ad ministered, after the illustrious Apostle had impressively reminded him, that he was making a promise to God.
Not less than twenty thousand people could have shaken hands with Father Mathew, amongst whom were many who iiad taken the pledge from him in Ireland, and who are enthusiastic in welcoming him to our country.
Anecdote of Adams and Clay. The paragraph from the Jersey City Telegraph, about a lady using an onion instead of a pin-cushion to stick her needles in, and finding the next morning that they all had Soars in their eyes,' called to mind an anecdote of the late John Quincy Adams and Henry Clay. We do not recollect having ever seen it in print, but even if it has been, it will, we think, bear a repetition.
When these distinguished statesmen were at Ghent, negotiating our treaty with Great Britain, they occupied a room together. Mr. Clay, who hus always been a warm admirer of female beauty, had often remarked the comely looks of their chambermaid, and had once or twice joked with Mr. Adams about it. One morning he arose some time ufter Mr. Adams, and on his way 10 the breakfast table he met the pretty maid relrred to. Saluting her in his blandest style, and in his easy and graceful manner, while a smile played upon his countenance, he solicited the pleasuro of a kiss. It may here be necessary to state that Mr. Adams' eyes always presented a watery appearance, which at times made him look as if he was in tears. The chambermaid not knowing the cause, we presume, replied to Mr. Clay in the greatest simplicity imaginable, 'why Mr. Clay, I do not like to disoblige you, but perhaps you will excuso me when I assure you that I have just refused Mr. Adams the same liberty, with tears in his eyes.' We need not say that Mr. Clay had too much gallantry to press his suit, but he subsequently met Mr. Adams, who joined him in a hearty laugh.
The stock in trade of the Hudson's Bay Company is $2,000,000. The profits are often half a million a \ear.— They sell a gun which costs $5, for skins worth $16. A pint of rum worth eight cents, is sold for $7 75. Wfe imagine there will be some competition in this trade one of these da vs.

including all ages, classes and conditions, among which were a large number of lailies, who are peculiarly sulijcrt to Nervous Complaints, have been
ENTIRELY AND PERMANENTLY CURED, when all hope of relief had been given up, and every thing else been tried in vain
To illustrate the use of the GALVANIC BELT, suppose the case of a person aiitictad with that bane of civilization, DYSPEPSIA, or any other Chronic or Nervous Disorder, la ordinary cases, stimulants are taken, which, by their action on the nerves and muscles Of the stomach, afford temporary relief, but which leave the patient in a lower state, and with injured faculties after the action thus excited has ceased. Now compare this with the effect resulting from the application of the GALVANIC BELT, lake a Dyspeptic sufferer, even in the worse symptoms of an attack, and simply tie the Belt around the body, using the Magnetic Fluid as directed. In a short period the insensible perspiration will act on the positive elemeSt of the Belt, thereby causing a Galvanic circulation which will pass on to the negative, and thence back again to the positive, thus keepiug up a continuous Galvanic circulation throughout the system. Thus the most severe cases of DYSPEPSIA are PERMANENTLY CURED. A FKW DAYS IS OFTEN AMPLY SUFFICIENT TO ERADICATE THE DISEASE OF YEARS.

A Voice from Mexico
To Da. CHKIHTIE Respected Sir and Friend—1 have always been subject to that dreadful complaint, Rheumatism, but I never knew what agony a human being could suffer, till joined the Annv. I was engaged in all of GENERAL TAYLOR'S battles, and was at Cerro Gordo with'GENERAL SCOTT. During a portion of the Campaign we wee much exposed to the night air in damp situations, and 1 soon perceived that tnis favored my old complaint. The first attack of the enemy (I mean Rheumatism) I had in Mexico, was in tbe ri^lit shoulder then my whole arm got stiff', and I could scarcely hold my musket—and one morning in the month of March la«t. after sleeping under the Chaparral, I could scarcely raise myself. fairly shrieked with sttrmv. was soon alter placed in the surgeon's hands, but continued to get worse nnd worse. The pains extended all over my body, in my head, and even in my ankles and toes. At Sail Angelo I got my discharge, and when I arrived in Boston, 1 was helpless, hopeless and perfectly miserable. I Would take no more medicine, for I hnd taken too mftrh already but reading your advertisement, induced mt to send to your Agent, Mrs. E. KIDDER, Court street, and get a GALVANIC Bn.T and Msorfrnc FLUID. The second day I wore the Belt and used the Fluid, I wa» mtich bettfcr, and in fthout one week I was so encouraged (hat I was not satisfied with the Belt alone, hut I got a pair of the Galvanic Bracelets for the limbs. These sooft ptit me on my feet, and in a few days I was enabled to walk to Mrs. 'KIDDER'S and tell rat story. She told me to persevere, and said she had Known persons as bad as I was to get entirely cured. From tnls time 1 got better every day—all pains gradually left me, and my strength rapidly returned, and for fonr months past have been entirely well. I feci as vigorous and elastic as I ever felt, with the exceptiort of a little stiffness in my riglft arm, but I have not a particle of pain of any kind. My curt is. truly wondcrftil, tind 1 tun never feel too grateffll to you, for I believe vorir Galvanic articles have saved my life, as I do not ftetlevfe I could haT* lived mtich longer in such dreadful agony.

Nrrw YORK, Sept 1, 1849.
To TH* roauc I voluntarily makfc this stats mem from feelings of duty and fratifads. In tb« monlh of January, 18*7, I took a sever* cold, which was accomimnicd with the most painful Rhaumatic attacks. I was attended by Dr. Myrtle of F.ast Broadway, and Dr. Nichols of Columbia-sl, by whom I was several times cupped. As I did not gut hotter, Dr. Stilwell, No Nt Suffolk st, was called in, who salivated me with mercury, which left me in a vary weak state, and almost tntlrely deaf- Shortly after I was attacked with violent Fits and waa altogether in a very dreadful condition. Having by this time lost all bith in medicine and physicians, I determined, as a last hope, to try DR. CHRISTIE'S GALVANIC BELT AND MAGNETIC FLUID. At this time I could scarcely hear a single word. In a very few days after putting on the Bel? there was an improvement in my general health, and my hearing was decidedly better. In about six weeks I had quite recovered my health, and for the past eight month* my hearing Ms been perfect I have bad no attacks of Rheumatism, and not the slightest symptom of Fits, and am in every respect as altered person.

THE ARABIAN'S VADU MECUM. H. G. Farrell's Arabian Liniment. fpHIS celebrated medicine, skill fully composed JL as it isof the most healing.hAUtuji8t.eatf n'iterfail to cure almost every affliction thatcan £e Alleviated by an extefrttt] remedy Its superiority
increasing demand there ii for biati Preparation. The Arttof, from their wander* ing mode of life, are often afflicted with distressing diseases, and also subject to accidents of the^most sevfetti kind consequently they Would require 4n external application of great virtnft to effect a core. Thiq alone must render a skillful compound of heal trig properties a matter of vital importance to thetUaves snd the well known care ttfd attehtion thev bfldtow upon their horses, so noted for bbauty ana s|fced must also greatly increase their desire to possess a really valuable Liniment.
It is Well known that the Arabians ere ^afotfs students of botany, and the fertile Rod beartrtrfhl region whioh akirts the Deoert abounds with rare plant* and rtdorous woods, whence thev procufre those gums nhd fragrant balsams of which this in-' comparable liniment is composed. It thas accomplished the most extraordinary cures of rheumatism, one application removing the most acute pain, and a continued use effecting cures of cases of long standing and of the greatest severity. In loss of power of the limbs, or paralysis, it stands at the head of all remedies, restoring tbe use of limbs to persons who long wttte a burden to themaelves and all others—numerous cases of which, wherein the flesh had entirely wasted away, leaving nothing but the drv skin dtt the bone and tho limb rendered useless tind without leeling, this allpowerful medicine caused healthy flesh to grow and fill up the shrivelled part, and restored strength to the limb. It in a specific id afketioriS erf" tW spine, many cases of three years' standing hatvicg been entirely cured by the use ot it. We say try if, and prove to your own satisfaction the rare qualities it possesses. It is unequalled for sprains,* bruises, cramps, cuts, all swellings, salt rheum, frozen limbs, burns, tumors, pains of all kinds, sore ejres, &c. &c. and is superior to all other remedies for horse flesh in almost «!1 cases which require an external application. For sweeney it has no equal also, spavin, splint, galls, wounds, sprains, scratches, sore eyes, sweuirfga, bruises &c. &c. also, fistula, pole-evil, big-head and ring bone.

quainted with the diseases they are subject to, as well as the remedies usually spotted, and must say that I never used or heard of any medicine that was half so good as your Liniment. I would recommend it with the greatest confidence to all who havehorses. They should alwayshaveiton hand, so that it could be applied immediately in case of accident, and thereby save the life of many a valuable horee I have used it in the very worst cases of sweeney with entire success alsosplint, sprains, bruises, pal Is, wounds, sore eyes, &c. Two most extraordinary cures I must mention in particular. I got up very early one morning, and on looking into my pasture discovered my favorite horse limp irtg and dragging a rail after him. On going up' close to him, to my amazement and horror, the rail was sticking in his stomach, between the flanks, to the depth of eight inches, and so tightlv that it took three hard pulls to extricate it after
known virtues of your Liniment flashed on my mind, and it Was immediately applied. By thft liext day I had the gratification of witnessing the Commencement of his recovery, and in six uays thereafter I rode him to Peoria, as sound as ever, and would not take $130 for him now. The other cdse was this. One of my men got his leg in the teeth of a thrashing machine) add it was only by a miracle that he was not instaritiy killed. His leg was horribly mutilated, though rid bones were broken. Your Liniment was applied, and in five days he went to work again. He fully believes that but for vour Linirrlertt he wdtlld rffcVer have recovered. With every wish for the success of the Arabian Liniment, jam truly yours,

Mr. H. G. FARREIA Please send me by the bearer another dollar bottle of vour Arabian Linlment( which will bo enough. I think, to complete ly ctlre my denr child. I have often thought that 1 would sit down and furnish yort with an account of niy poor child's situation, so thut you might make it public, and thus be the cause of as much benefit to some others ol my fellow beings as it has been to me. She laid for six months without the slightest ppwer or control of her Jimbfi what' ever, nnd suffered the most agonizing pain the greater portion of the time. Even her rteck was
erfectly stiff, arid so painful that she could no( to have jier head moved in the least. Thus was she for six months, during nil tfhicb time we had to carry her about on a chair when she wished to change her place. We had three of the best physicians in tho \thole country attending her, but they could do her no good. Finally, one of them (the last to give her up) said he could do no more for her. and that, as I Wished to get ydur Liniment, I could do so, adding that he knew it was g°od and might help her. I got it accordingly, and she began to recover after few applications. She can now use al! of her limbs freely, and carl walk tolerably well. We are now applying it over the spine, which the doctors sn_v is the seat of the disease, and we expect one bottle more to cure her as well asever she was. We have used it also for sprains, bruises, burns and cuts, with liko sue-, cess. Hoping that thisgrettt remedy will be spread over the whole country. I am yours truly,
