England,) ninety-four pounds in one hundred; greens and turnips (which are the most aqueous of all vegetables used for domestic purposes,) furnish only eight pounds of solid nutritious substance in one hundred; carrots, fourteen pounds; and, what is very remarkable, as being in oppo. sition to the hitherto acknowledged theory, one hundred pounds of potatoes only yield twenty-five pounds of substance valuable as nutrition. One pound of good bread is equal to two pounds and a half, or three pounds of the best potatoes; and seventyfive pounds of bread, and thirty pounds of meat, are equal to three hundred pounds of potatoes; or, to go more into detail, three quarters of a pound of bread and five ounces of meat are equal to three pounds of potatoes; one pound of potatoes is equal to four pounds of cabbage and three of turnips; but one pound of rice, broad beans, or French beans (in grain,) is equal to three pounds of potatoes.

The following description of the cholera morbus, from a foreign journal, condenses what has been written on the subject in different papers, the author occasionally adding an observation or two of his own:-The cholera morbus, continues its dreadful ravages in India. This terrible malady appeared in the Delta of the Ganges, in the month of August, 1817; its first irruption took place at a town called Jessire, about thirty-three leagues north-east of Calcutta. The countries of Hindostan, between the extreme points visited by this pestilence, at the end of thirty-six months after its appearance,

would be found to contain an area of a thousand square leagues. Since that period the theatre of its disasters has been enlarged the number of inhabitants in Madras has been diminished; the villages in the district of Sanpore have lost nearly the whole of their population. Not limited or confined to the Continent, this dangerous disease has appeared in the Island of Java, producing similar effects; and, by maritime communications, has penetrated into the southern provinces of China, and the Archipelago of the Philippines. In spreading to the west, it traversed the Peninsula of India; and, by the month of August, 1818, had reached Bombay. In the month of September, 1821, this contagion had invaded the Province of Guzerat; and, spreading along both banks of the Indus, advanced as far as the Persian Gulf, frequently with fatal effects in its coasts and harbours. At Mascat, the Kent, an English ship, reported the destruction of the crews of almost all the Arab vessels. The disease at times was so active, as to carry off a person in ten minutes. In India the natives have been attacked by it rather than the Europeans; but it has visited some of the English, and there is reason to think that they carried the infection to Port Louis, in the Isle of Mauritius. As that colony had suffered by some contagion of a very dangerous character in 1819, rigorous precautions were adopted to prevent any communication with the infected vessel.
