Royal Treasurer’s Office, St. Croix 22d December 1865, C. R. MAGENS. T D~ M. A. RAHEEM being acquainted with the prevailing alarm, in consequence of the rumoured approach to, and prabable visitation of the pestilential epidemie Cholera in this island, and against which precanvionary measures have been ordered by Govern tent, regrets much the perplexity into which the inhabitants are at present thrown, owing to the Monopoly ot Medi cal practice, limited exclusively to the graduates of Copenhagen, to whom alone they would have to look for assistance and reliet’ in so pressing an emergency. What havoe therefore would this scourge of mankind produce upon all classes of this community, were the apprehension of so calumitous a visitation to be truly realized, considering the small number of protessional gentiemen and their non-ac quaintance with certain specific remedies, which vaster Countries and wider extent of practical experience in this fearful ma lady have placed at the disposal of other men. Dr. Raheem being a native of India where not only periodically but almost constantly with more or less virulence this disease is prevalent among the vast indigenous population and foreign resi dents and having successfully treated numerous cases and schooled himself well into the symptoms and unature of this fatal disorder, acquiring thereby the knowledge of medicines preventive and curative, has also much to lament that owing so the restrictive measures where by foreign physicians are excluded from lending their aid and imparting the lizhts of their knowledge to a suffering com munity in the hour of need. He would however at this critical moment, should the said disease make its appearance among us recommend the immediate use of the genuine Compound Carbouized Chalera Tincture, as the only sure and eflicacious medicine capable of resisting the effects and of curing the Cholera even in Its very worst stages, if the patients havenotalready been thrown beyond hope from the effeers of mistaken treatments, As a preventive, where Cholera is rag ing, it is sovereign if introduced into the human system. As curative he knows of no other specific which would so es fectually resist its dessolating effects and its sulsequent cure. He has most suc +eessfully spplied it in the most desperate eases of Cholera morbus in India, and snatched many from the grave, when all other medicines Lad baffled the efforts of the most skilful physiciaus. As a preventive, which places persons beyond the reach of this calamity and perniits many to. offer their suffering 1 friends the aid they so much sfand in need ofy his specific is sfill more impor t tant and he thercfore joins in the general reeret, that when the portentuous mo ment shall have urnfortanately arrived, he will not be permitted to lend a helping l hand to his afflicted fellow citizens. i St. Croix 18th December 1865.

From the Barbados West Indian, Decbr. 8.) The following letter Ly the Steamer, from a well known firm in Mincing Lane, relative to the great saperiority of the oscillatory process in the manufacture of Sugar, has been hunded to us for publi calion Mincing Lane, Nov. 3rd, 1865. My Dear Sir,—The result of oscillation is so strikingly exemplified by the parcel of sugar to which I called your attention this morning, that I think it well to fur nish you with the particulars. 1 should mention to you, that the 5 hhds. were shipped without any remark as to differ ence of quality but this was so striking, that Mr. Hill and I decided on making two lots and selling inem separately the 8 hhds. of soft sugar brought 353, the net weight “hoat 40 cwt., and the proceeds will be about £l4 each; the 2 hhds. of oscillated sugar brought 38s. 6, ‘the net weight is over 32 ewt., and the proceeds will be nearly £l9 each, shew ing again by osciliation of about 35 per cent, aud this in a brisk market; in dull markets, we can often sell grainy sugar, when soft sugar may be offered a dozen times without attracting a bid; the 5 hhds. above mentioned are all of 3S inch truss, and there is no better size when ‘Casks are well filled with oscillated Su gar. PROGRESS OF CHOLERA. The Martinique papers give us some accounts of the cholera in Guadeloupe. On the 220 d Novr, it reached at Basse Teriy 109 deaths out of a population of 10.000. At Point-a-Pitre on the same day the number amounted to 45. The num bLers were 15 Nov., Basseterre 3 l Point-4-Pitre ......23 16 i 3 Lo 29 17 i 3 e 31 18 Sa 4 l i 35 19 s 32 A 25 20 S 61 i 39 21 P 80 s 40 22 109’ 45 23 i 93 e “The population of Poiunt-a-Pitre,” says a writer on the spot, “is rednced to less than a half. ‘They flee on ali sudes to avoid the plague, and they are spread e\'erywhere now. I fear in a few dnys the number of vietimms will be considera bly greater in number. Every evening they make bonfires in the streets, and the people assemble around them, aund amuse them-elves, as if there was no danger. In the dayilime they bury the dead taking them out of the way every where, and in the evening they find amusement around the bonfires, if it cin be said so in such circumstances. Your authorities ought to take severe measures with our boatmen in order to avoid the plague, for it is necessary to be here to know the danger that one runs here, and the misery of the place.” They bhave strict quarantine regula tions at Martinique to prevent communi cation with Dominica, the Saiuts, Gua deloupe, &c, but it is complained there is difficalty in maintainiog them and to prohibit intercourse. The intabitants of the infected places suffer apparently as much from want of food and necessaiics and nzé’dicine' as from the disease itself. “Two doctors have gone from St. Pierre to Guoadeloupe, and a sabscription raised in the former for the purchase of medi cines and other necessaries to be sent down for the relief of the sufferers. The ST GROILX AVI S, Epidemic is said to have spread to St. Murtins, as o qoarantine of 14 days as well o 8 against Guadeloupe and its de prndencies, has been declared at St. Kitts. THE PARIS ACADEMY OF SCIENCE ON CHOLERA. The same may be said of those drawn up by the Academy of Medicine in 1849, which are a model of precisivn and clear ness. Indeed, the counsels with regard to the chiolera are reduced to very simple precepts, dictated as well by common seuse as by science. These are—scrupu lous personal cleanliness, warm clothing, cleanliness 1n habitations, removal of fiith of every kiud, ventilation, ordinary regimen, the usual food, provided it be not prejudicial to health, and the absence of all excess. But what should above all be shunned is the abuse of strong liquors, bad eau de vie, aund especially absinth— the abuse of which is at present so gene ral “An excellent precaution consists in taking in the morning before going out into the opeu air, particularly when the day is cold, moist, or foegy, a warm and aromatic infusion, such as camomile, light tea, or still better a little coffee. The last, recommended by our military doctors, was of great service in Algeria and the Crimea, and is still so to the men employed in tiiec Custom-house service on the coast. This cannot be too highly recommended.”’ Itis a great mistake to suppose that the malady shows itselt all of a sudden. Ou the contrary, its approach is indicated one, two, even eight days beforehand. There is generally a derangemeunt of the bodily functions more or less marked, such as diarrhet. This premonitory symptom should not be neglected. It should be treated promptly, and stopped, and this will cut short the malady. The mos! precise observations have been made on this point in France as well as abroad, “and particularly in England, where it is made a general system of preservation.” I'he Monileur repeats the instructions for proper treatment in such cases (and which are most simple) already Issued io 1854, It corludes “I’he cbservance of these precautions, and a certain tranquility of mind, are the best chanees ia the present circumstan ces of salubrity, cleanhiness, and relative comfort of our popalations, of the public being preserved from the epidemic, and, in case of attack, of arresting ils effeets.”’ Atthesittingot'the Academyof Sciences on Tuesday, M. Costa, the seccretary, mentioned that he had received a mass of letters announcing what were called “in fallible receipis” for ihe choiera, more or less absurd—one, for instance, that *“the patient shonld be enveloped in a blanket of new wool, and mude to swailow the wing of a fowl very hot,” &e. Dr. Bounafond read a paper on the same subj-et. He stated that the condi tion of climate, ceology, &e., of a coun try engendered distinet maladics. Thus the cholera is peculiar to India, the yellow fever to America, the intermittent fever .to Africa, aud so torth. He did not think that the carcases of the animals sacrificed by the pilgrims to Mecea could account for the epidemic. Alrica should on these grounds be constantly ravaged; and the plaius of La Plata, where thou sands of cattle were slaughtered, should be likewise infected. He was of opinion that the malady should be combated in the very place of its origin—namely, India. The cause of it in India is found per haps in the mud of the rivers, “and it would suffice to medify their régime to avoid the morbid efluvia. The measures which the French Government recently suggested should not be limited to Cairo or Constantinople, but be extended to India.” M. Le Verrier, the well known astrono mer, complained that the time of the Academy was taken up in condemning remedies without indicating those which were more capable of arresting the dis i ease. The newspapers publish receipts every day which contradicted each other. Every medical man had his own system. i What was necessary was to point out at least what should be first done in the l absence of the doctor. In a word, he wanted positive indications, instead of negative discussions. These remarks called up the celebrat l ed surgeon Dr. Velpeaun, who said ““M. Le Verrier appears desirous that I should answer him. To indicate effica cious remedies is casy {o say, but difficult to realize. The cholera is a malady as yet really little known, and which, hke other maladies, is often cured without remedies. Maoy maladies, gentlenren, are cured without remedies. The truth should be told. In 1830 we tried all the means which are at this ‘day again so much spoken of. In some instances they were successful ;in others they fail ed. Was it because the patient cured himselt aloue, or was it the remedy that i cured him? We do not know. [llow many persous are sare of their remedy? They speak of it confidently, and yet the potitentislost. It is probable that in the first case he cured himself, and that tho remedy did not do much. This does not prevent every one from believing that his own receipt is infallible. Every doctor, Lke every other mortal, has his remedy. There is nothing so difficult as to indicato remedics where every one meddles in the i matter.” Dr. Velpeau then related an anecdole of Louwis XIV, and his physician, Fagon, exemplifying what he had just said, and continued f “I am obliged to avow that it is not always in our power to pointout an effi cacious remedy. Ti.e cholerais no doubt caused by the introduction of a poison into the orgaunism. If the poisonous ele ment is in small quantity, and the organ lism strong, it makes no ravages; if the contrary be the case, the danger is real. Also when the patient absorbs what is ad:ninistered to him, his cure is probable. But sometimes the stomach refuses to absorh anything; and in this case re course shouid be had to externai means, which are often insufficient. In a word, i the malady almost always commences by characteristic symptoms, such as premoni tory diarahcea. The preventive treatment 1s casy, and it is for each person to guard himseif. Excess of every kind should be carefully avoided, and the rules of l salubrity attentively observed. The means of arresting the malady at i's out set are very simple. My advice is this— pour from three to four drops of laada num on a lump of sugar an(F swallow it. Repeat it two hours afterwards, and so on, until the cholic and vomitting pass away. Take also very small injections of starch, poppy flowers with 6,7, 8, or 10 drops of laudanum. ‘This treatment will almost always suffice to stop the diarrhces, and gnarantee against the mala dy.”— Times Correspondent.

In consequence of the sicknass of two men on board the Schr. Sirene trom Gua peloupe, undergoing Quarantine, being re ported this morning by the health Officer, W.Q'ich are suspected to be Cholera cases, at'a Meeting of the Board Health, it was agreed to recommend the extension of thie period of quarantine from three 1o ten days; which recommendation we are informed has been sanetioned by H. E the Governor.—Barbados Puper. From the master of a trader between this port and Guadclonpe, who left the jatter on the 251 h, the following informa tonisobtained relating to the Cholera:— At the timeof his leavieg things were they bad. The people running away from Guadeioupe hail carried the sichniss to Deseado and Muarie Galante. At Point a-Pitre it had diminished, at Basselerre it had ivereased and spread over the countiy distilcts. The people there and in Marie Galante and Desado desert thenr houses, and flee into the woods and moun tains. It was impossible to tell the num ber of deaths. The sickness was intro duced into Guadeloupe and bhroke out at Point-o Pitre,soonattortheariival ofa ves del from Ma seillesonboard ot whieh during the voyage, two peisons dled of chiotera. The (.'ul»‘.n'ln told tire pilot of the ¢lrcum stance, who negieeted to warn the autho rities. ‘l'he clothes o1 the deceased were sent on shore to be washed, and the washer-womsn. and hoer whole fanily died immedintcly. On acecount of the suddenvess of the deaths, and there ex isting no suspicion of cholera or other infectious discase, many persons went to see her and her fanuly, took the disease and died likewise. The authoritivs he coming alarmed made erquiry into the cir cumstances, and tracing them back to the vessel, arrested the pilot, who brought her in and threw him into prison, where he remained awaiting trial for negligence of his duty. 'T'liey further ordered thut the Liouses of «1l who had died should be burnt with their clothes and furniture.— Ibid. The French War Steamer Roland ar rived yesterday morning from Martinique with news from Guadeloupe, being in search of flour, for the use of the Troops, all the snpplies in store at Fort de France having been sent off to Guadeloupe. There is no question of the character or the progress of the Epidemic; 1t is pro nounced Asiatic Cholern, and the number of deaths had risen to 120 in one day; in cotisequence a quarantine of 15 days had _been declared at Martiniqne, against ves sels from Guadeloupe. The treatment it is said was with quinine.—Jlbid. e ee, From the Lendon Times, December 2.) A BirteDAY PrESENT.— Yesterday be ing the anniversary of the Princess Alex andra’s birthday, the Prince of Wales had prepared a surprise for the Princess in the shape of a teautitul pair of bay ponies, with carriage and harness eom plete, the whole forming a handsome birthday present. The carriage, w h:ch is by a celebrated London maker, is of an exceedingly novel make, there being a front seat, as usual, the hind part of the vehicle being providvd with a couple of seats something in the dog-cnt fashion, the seat behind being intended for the _groom. The colour of the carriage is 2 chocolate. The ponies, which are a lit tle over 14 hauds high, are splendid step _pers, and, with the carriage and harness, have.been forwarded to Sandringham. STe CROLX AVI S, THE Jamarca INSURRECTION.—A preli minary meeting is to be held vext week at Norwich, for the purpose of urging on the Government the neegessity for an im mediate and Ithorough inquiry into all the circumstances conneeted with the ount break in Jamaica and the conduct of the authorities in the island.

Christiansted 15th December 1865. JULIUS KNUTIHSEN, Agent. FAHE undersigned has petitioned the Royal Government to grant him per mission to take extracts from the Tax Lists, which have been returned this year, and to obtain information from the res pective police oflices as well as iinmi. ra tion commission, in order to furnish sta tistics of the number of laborers on the different estates—stock and cotton estates included—the number of acres of land be longing to each estate and how cultivated —the stock &e., the number of immigrants that have arrived in the Island since the Ist of Octoberlast and the crops of the sugar estates. It is to be observed that as the tax lists were gathered after the 16th Oc tober this year, and as the removals from or to an estate took place on the Ist Octo ber, it is unnecessary to give an account of the removals last term. If an account of the births and deaths among the rural popula‘ion here can be obtained for some time before the year 1848 and up to date, the pamphlet will contain that also. The price of subseription for 5 copies..ss. 00. for 1 copy 1. 50. The work will be ready in the month of February next year, provided a sufficient number of subscribers can be obtained.
