Progress of the Cholera. —The following are the dates of the appearance of the disease a) the several placet named in Europe and Ameri ca, at its former visit ; from which the probabili ties of its approach at the present time may be judged. It broke out at Moscow, on the 28th of September, 1830 ; at Sunderland, England, on the 28th of October, 1831 ; at Quebec, June 8, 1832; at New York, June 27 ; at Philadelphia, July 16 ; at Boston on the 15th of August. The New Satellite of Saturn.—Anarti cle in the London Atheiiffium shows, that by a comparison oft heir respective records, Mr. Bondi in the United States, and Afr. Lassi.i l, in Eu rope, discovered the eighth satellite of Saturn so nearly at the same time that the English ought to say it was discovered by Bond and Lasscll,Un- Americans by Lassell and Bond. Air. Bund, however, it appears, saw it first, being on the 16th of September, hut regarded it as accidental; while Air. Lassell did not observe it all until the 18th, when he made a “careful diagram.” Mr. Bond also again saw it on the 18th, hut neither of them “established the satellite’’ until the 19th —then it was done simultaneously. Air. Bond agrees with Air. Lassell in naming it Hy perion, by which it will accordingly he known. Its pe riod of revolution, according to the determina tion of Air. Bond, is about2] days; it is, there fore, in the order of distances, the seventh from Saturn. We must say, however, that the “turn about” courtesy of the Athenspum looks some what affected, as, under the circumstances, we feel most irresistibly impelled to award the hon or of discovery to American science. The City oe Jalapa. —Gen. Thompson, in iiis Recollections of Alexico, says, “When the atmosphere is clear, you may see the shipping in the harbor ofVera Cruz with an ordinary spy glass and the whirecaps of the waves with the naked eye. The elevation of Jalapa above the sea is a little more than four thousand feet. It is situated on a shelf of the mountain ; the sum mit of which, at Perote, a distance in a direct line ofabout twenty miles, is still four thousand five hundred feet higher than Jalapa. The whole horizon, except in the direction ofVera Cruz, is bounded by mountains ; amongst them Orizaba, which is distant from Jalapa about twenty-five miles. But from the remarkable clearness of the atmosphere, and the sun shining upon the snow, with which it is always covered, it does not seem to he five miles. All the tropical fruits grow there, and are cultivated with great care and taste. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is impossible for one who has not been on the table lands of Alexico to conceive of a climate so elysiun. There is not a day, and scarcely an hour in the year when one could say, I wish it were a little warmer or a little cooler. It is never warm enough to pull oft' your coat, and rarely cold enough to button it. Gen. T. adds . —“No spot on the earth will he more desirable than this for a residence when ever it is in the possession of our race, with the government and laws which they carry with them wherever they go. The march of time is not more certain than that this will be, and probably at no distant day.” (O’A. leech kept in a phial of water is said to be an infallible weather-glass. If the weather continues serene and beautiful, the leech lies motionless at the bottom of the glass, and rolled togother in a spiral form. If it rains either be fore or after noon, it is found to have crept up to the top of its lodgings, and there it remains till the weather is settled.

Here we have an inven tion, (says the New York Tribune,) by which lamps or candles may be lighted at any moment of time by a clock or a pull ufachord. I fattvc li ed to an alarm clock a light may he produced at any hour. In cases where people wish to rise at a certain unusual time of night, all tint has to be done is to set the clock and make the connec tion of the lamplighter “all right,” and then,' wien the hour comes round,you haven tampal ready lighted at the-saine time. Certainly very convenient. When not desired to he connected with a clock, it can he attached to a chord termin ating in some place near the bed like a bed-pull so that it is only necessary to pull the chord to produce a light previous to rising. It is design ed, also, to he so attached to the bell handle of a ] front door, that pulling the hell instantly makes a light to see by in the hall, or any other part of the house.
