Council Office, Il'hitehaU, Pel. 15, i832.—The
l.:.:'ds of tlnTCoimeil have just received an inti
mation that the Bishop of London has directed
the clergy of his diocese ill no coses to permit the
bodies of persons dying of cholera to be curried
iuto the church previous to iutermeut.
Among tho propositions made respecting the
cholera, is a piau propos.'il by a physician, for
families to coutracl, at a fixed price per quarter,
to have daily medical visits, to regulate tiie gene
ral health tu the household. This plan must pro
duce good results. •
Dr. White, of Gateshead, in a tetter published
hy him, states, that tiio most general premonitory
symptoms, iu eases of Cholera are, first, diar
rhoea; tho evacuations ut tho coinmeneemeut, Of
a dark brmvu or Idackish hue, gradually becom
ing less and less feculent, uutil tiioy assume the
appearance of dirty Water. Slight cramps, m<-t
frcqueutly of the toos, twitching in the abdomen,
with giddiuesi and sickness occasionally accom
panying it’. Tho treatment which Dr. White 1ms
found so beueficial in comhatiug these symptoms,
is expressed in the following extract:—
"I heg most particularly the benefit derivable
from washing the whole body with warm wider,
and afterwords producing a general glow upon the
surface hy frictions with coarse cloths. 1 was in
duced to adopt this plan for two reasous. First,
front tho knowu sympathy 'octtVcou llffi stomach
nud botveis aud the skin; and secondly, because
l am of opliiinn that a strong dufcctiug medium
exists in th'u filth allowed to accumulate upon tho
persons of tho poor, their clothes absorbing tho
noxious exhalatious that Aoat arouud iu a conta
minated atmosphere, thus presenting the contn-
ifeous pores, if I may so express myself, a perfect
piaster of infection.”
Dr.'C. Negri, in the I.ancct of Feb. 11, strongly
recommends the trial of pure bark, either iu place
of opium and brandy, or in combination with
them, in cusos of malignant cholera. His con
clusions in favor of this rchicdy nro drawn from
the intcfmittert character which distinguishes this
disease. Ho observes, “I am very strongly in
clined to believe in its efficacy, liecausc it is but a
very short time ago since I had the opportunity
of seeing, at u public institution, two very simi
lar instances, which prevented more severe symp
toms, aud wero perfectly cured by the free ad
ministration of berk alone.'
London, Pel. 16.—Reports received this day t
In Loudon 12 nctr cases, 4 deaths, (viz. South
wark 11, Lamberth t.J In tho North of Kbg-
l.md 39 uew cases, 15 deaths.
At Limebousc, up to one o’clock, yesterday; it
is stated on tho authority of a member of the
Board of Health of that place, that uo new cate
of the cholera had occurred. With regard to
Rotherhito, the statements us to nny case there,
ure believed to bo wholly without foumlutiou.
The suspicion is very general throughout tho city,
that tho alarm has been spread through iutcrestod
motives.
The following copied from tho Washington
Correspondent of tho New York Commercial Ad
vertiser, contains a more particular account of
the difference between Mcssr*. M‘Duffio aud
Wayne, than wo have yet seeu:
Mr. Wayne asked some question, addressing it to
.Mr. M'Dulite, as tho Chti'rman of thoCounnitteo
of Ways and Means. Mr. M'Duffie roso can'!'*
and xvith full deliberation, laid addressing himself
to tha Speaker and tho House,-that though nl
ways ready nud. Willing to afford nil the informa
tion tu his poberto gentlemen in that House, yet
ho must be excused from cousidcrhig tho member
frc:.i Georgia ns dt qrvmg that courtesy. The
course of the member from Geofgla; hi the dis
cussion,.had boon 00 inpereilbu*, impertinent, and
Vttrbtdrtnjf, its io pfu l)iin oittor the raegoof pnt.
liaincntary courtesy; and ho wished it to ho un
derstood that, hereafter, nothing wh'eh M! from
that member, iu nny form, wouM receive nuy no
tice from him. Tho excitemeut aud bustlo which
took place during the remark*, prevented mo
from hearing them vory distinctly, but tho itali
cised words were emphatically uttcrc||, and tho
tpno and manuer wero too marked to he mistaken.
Mr. Wayne rose in u rage, nud railed incoherent
ly—as a man, cooler thau lie is, might bo apt to
do, on such au oeca&iou. The only thing taugi-
hlo which came to oy car wus tliis sally—"l well
kuow hoiv to appreciate the gcutleuinu’s tilkc.i
Valor ■—tho xrbich, yoa kuow, alludes to eveuts
long past. Nothing more was said. But, imme
diately, there was much concussing and mysteri
ous whispering, and gniheringhito corners. There
was much anxiety ou every face,—fiir Mr. M‘-
Duffio is too hoaest aqd able a man to loso. Tq
the great credit of tho friends of the parties lie it
•aid, that, instead of pramoting.the fued, asTrieud*
usually do, they applied themselves in good ear
nest to make peace, aud happily succeeded. Mr.
Wayne came forward and apologised to the
Homo for uuy improper warmth into which, in
the ardor of au excited debate, lie might have
been drawn—and thereupon Mr. ftl'Dullio with
drew his remarks, aud Mr..Wayne withdrew his
retort—and thorc is an end of the matter.
(The writer of the foregoing being the political,
if uot personal enomy of Wayne, it is presumable
tho statement i* drawn up aud designed to be of
benefit to Al'Duffie.j
