Cheuwists, uo means huve hitherto been discover.: ed of collecting and subjecting to examination the contagious Miasmee which are exhaled in certain diseases, That they have nevertheless a real existence, is proved by the peculiar odour, which \u2018is bne of their properties : the meuns formerly used 10 destroy them were limited to palliating this odour, by.the mixture of odoriferons substances, more or less powerful and innoxious ; dut the gerims of Contagion were not destroyed \u2018I'he Chemists of var days, by the powerful aid ol Chlo:ine, have succseded in decomposing or wholly neutrrlizin; these terrible enemies of the public health.\"Whatever the infected place tony be, the ueatralizing action of Chlorine is ceriaiu ; it causes the offensive odour 10 disappear, and that «of the Chlorine itself becomes had.ly seauble (unless it has been employed to ex- tess), which ininifeste the reciprocal action of the Miusmiæ + «l the Qus.Futaigations with Nitric Acid, and of hydro-chluric Acid (muriatic) may be employed for the same purpose : they are fess active than those of Chlorine, but they may be used with .dvantage in many cases.We will here describe the mode of proceeding, for th: a-e of families in which one or more individuals ire attacked by one of thuse maladies from which Contagion may be apprehended, and where the rather complicated means of producing Chlorine are not at hand.It is sufficient to procure sone Nitre or Sea-salt, pulverized ; to put half an cance in a tea-cup, and to pour upon it Sulphuric Acid (Oil of Vitriol).You must stir the mixture, which is of the consistence of paste, with the «nd of a Glsss Taube ; a white smuke is seen to arse from it, the smell of which, though sironz, ts not disagreeable, §- which forms in the chamber us it were a slight mist.The operation must be repeated from time to time, and the mixture frequently stirred.THE ENGLISHMAN AND THE SKUNK.The English traveller, who has published an interesting account of his \u201cExcursion\u201d in the Uuited States, thus describes his encounter with a Skuak, which he net with in a western prairie.\u2018These \u201cbeautiful le animals\u201d are not found in Europe, but ure peculiar lo the American conti- neat.\u2014Muassonic Mirror.\u201c About furty wiles from Carmi, 1 had a most cations adventure, and oue thal cansed me for some time afterwards, on great deal of vexation.\u2014 Wile crossing a small Prairie, | observed coming towards me in the middle of the path, a beau- uitul little animal, about two feet long, of à dark colour, with longitudinal white stripes down its hack, a bushy tail and very short legs.Intending to catch it, 1 immediately galloped forward to prevent its escape.To my astonishment, however, it did not attempt to run away.but stopped in the road, as if it had been tame.| came close up to it, so that my horse's furefeet almost touched ity when it drew up its bark aml looked at me, but uti | did not offer to escape.bat first intended to dismount and catch it ; but considering that I could do nothing with it, amd that perhaps it might bite me, 1 determined to leave it alone, and content myself with udiniving it.\u201cle would bave Leen well for me, if | had dune so ; but after having finished looking at at, à spirit of mischief, (1 can attribute it to nothing else) prompted me to lean forward où my horse, and strike it over the back with a small whip ! tied in my hand, Scarcely had the whip touched the animal\u2019s back, when turning its posterions towards me, an\u2019 lifting up its hind-leg, it discharged a Stygian liquor, the odear of which 1 shall recollect to my dying day.In an instant the whole prairie seemed to be Gilled with «a stench, thut is beyond all description.It was so powerful, pungent, and sickening, that at first it nearly made me faint, and | gallopped away from the brute with all possible expedition.; \u201c| had previously supposed, that 1 had, in the course of my life, smelt very bad odovrs; but they were all perfimes compared to this.No one who has not experienced it can form any idea of such a horrid stench.Must fortunately from the position in which | was, my horse had received the whole vf this mfernal water on his breust, and noue of it bad touched imy clothes.\u2014 If it had (should have been obliged to destroy them ; fur [was afterwards informed that no process or length of time will remove the smell from woollen cloth, \u201cThis adventure happened early in the morning, and made me so sick that I could not eat my breakfast.Indeed, | was ashamed to go into any house, well knowing how offensive both Land my horse must be.| rode my horse into the rivers, had him washed with soap and water, &c.&e, but nothing would do.For a week afterwards | could never get upon him, without perceiving in a most disngreesble degree, the stench of my lit- tic enemy.The man of the house, at which 1 stopped in the evening, immediately observed the offensive odour with which 1 was infected.\u2014 When | told him my adventure, and how | had intended to have got off my horse to catch the - animal, he laughed most heartily, und informed me that it sas culled a skunk, aud was cominon in that part of the country,\u201d = EUROPEAN INTELLIGENCE.From Luglish Papers, The great foot Race belween Captain Thorogood and G.P.Munning Faq.for a Thousand Guineas, took place over two miles of gronnd on | the Bromley Road {rom Meddlegate.The run elm vens, Who should do most Ground in fifty Minutes, - & thesquire was bucked at six to four, The.ruçe 2 Way as fine n one as evor was run.The Captnin \u201cleft, und made strong play, and kept his opponent \u201cupon the full stretch.Mr.Mioning headed the #Captnin in the sixth wile, but he keptitno longer \"than bis time lasted.\"Phe Captifin began to strug: glain the Inst five minutes, und won the race wilh difficulty, by about four yards in fifty two minutes and thirty cight seconds, \\ Mining Companies.The'nttention of the mo- \u201cnied interest has been again this day chiefly di.\u201crected to the new American Mining Associations, aud should their o cess, most certainly this may be called he new \u201cera of human offairs,.for in a few yenrs it \u2018will occasion a total change in the value of every description of tungible property.\u2018The United Mexican Company is considered more forward thun any of the others and {he shares of £10 on which £13, have been paid, are currently purchased at from £39, to £40.There is lav a considerable demand for the shares of the Anglo-Mexicin Campany, and they are worth from £37 to £38 each.The are £100 shaves, mud £10 have been paid on them.I'he Real del-Moute Shares of £400 ench (only £70 paid) me worth seven hundred guineas, aud all of them are expected to be dearer.English merchants take advantage of circumstances, and will reap a rich harvest in operations which the blind policy of Old Spain Knew not how to reader available, Another Association hus been formed fin working the Colombinn mines, and a prospectus has been issued this day of its intention.Its capital amounts to one million sterling, divided into ten thousand shares, of one hundred pounds.The Directors have applications for one hondred thousand shares, Several valuable mines have been already enguged at Muviquita, by this association, from the Colombian Government.They are situated within six leagues of Honda, on the Magdalena.Fuel abundant, and the climate healthy.Population is, however, scarce ; for Spanish des- postism his heretofore prevented the productive employment of the inhabitunts, Negocintions are aldo in progress for securing other mines of gold, silvar, & copper, in the district of Pamplunit, which will be equally valuable.The first instalment will be £10 per share, wod the have been already.at £25 each ; indeed there is now apparent reason for their being Jowet than the share of the Anglo-Mexican Company.Another Association has, like wise, been formed for working epacifind mives in Moxivs, The capital is £200,000, divided into five bondred shaves of £100 each, and in à Éew duys the prospects of this, as well as one for working the Brazil Minerals, will be circulated.This is a good way of employing the surplus of British capital, for it will afford the new Staies the best means for paying for British manufactures.It will reward their industry, and good wages will increase the populition.and consequently and to the consumption of British lubour .h thoge vust regions of the earth.A Petition has been presented to the Lord Mayor and Corporation of London, by Mr.Gray, author of \u201cObservations on General tron Riulway,\u201d pointing out the immense advantages thit would attend the estat lishunent of a general iron railway lo the city of London.The petitioner states, that tbe mails from Lopdon to Manchester Liverpool, ud Leetl might be conveyed within the spact of twelve hours, and those to Glasgow and Edinburgh within twenty-four ; and that à zang' of conl-waggons, carrying the full freight of n vessel, might be forwarded from Newcastle to London in three days, by the simple expence of the stem engine.From the alarm excited among proprietors of canals connected with Birmingham, by the pro- jrcted rail-rond from that Lown to Liverpool the Old Birmingham Canal shares have fullen £400, and uther canals have been more or less affected It appears from the report of the committee of the Peak Forest Railway, says the Courier, that his Grace the Duke of Devonshire hus become a patron of that projected undertaking.This Grace his offered the Company such portion of his Ld, as they may require in forming the road, free of cost.Thisisan example worthy of imitation by all men of his rank and affluence.Property in the hands of such persons, is a national blessing ; but were vast possessions are held by individgals who obstruct all public improvements, nnd disregard all considerations but their own fancies, and convenience, their value to the.country is proportionately düninished.TOLERATION.The Proclamation of his Majesty Geoge 1V as King of Hanaver, may have some effect, we hope, upon these who think it utterly impracticably for C.tholics and Protestants to live in counmunity on a footing of cquulity in Europe.Hanover, Dec.18.PROCLAMATION, \u201c Genrge IV.&c.~-It having come to our knowledge that some doubts are entertrined_respecting the interpretation and application of the «first paragraph of the 16th article of the Act of the German Confederation of the 8th June, 1825, which is to the following effect\u2014 The difference of the Christian religious communities cannot lend to any difference in the enjoyment of civil the Germanic Confederation\u2014\u2014we.ure induced to issue the following Declaration und Ordinance.«1.The severn! professors of the Christian fuith enjoy a petfect equality of civil and political rights in the kingdom, and in conformity, with the anid article, the notion of a predominant and of a merely tolerated church is entirely abolished.rations be crowned with suc- and golitical rights in the countries composing c «2, All Cliristion' religious communities have - + = PS 3 _a:vight ta the unobstructed and free exercise 3e their religious worship, aud every clergyman can\u2019 \u2018require the surplices, &c.only rom the parisf- ioners of his own persuasion.Consequently, \u201c3.Those inbabitants who belong to a differ- \u201cent Christian persuasion from that of the parisli, are to pay the fees, &c.caly to the clergyman of their p éwuasion towhose purish they nre positively aunexed.Fees can be required by a cler- gymun of u different persuasion, when he has been required to perform any official dity, and has really performed it.: | \u201c4, On the ather hand, all duès to churches * and schools, which proceed from houses, furms sud other luuded property in a panish, without regard to the personal quulities of the professor, io respect to h.s religivus belief, are stili to Le paid to those entitled to them by every professor even if be belongs to n Chtistiun party different from that of the parish.\u2019 \u2018The body of an Egyptinn Muminy was unwrapped at the public Institution at Bristol, in the presence of Mr.Garrard, who had presented it to that establishment, and a few particular persons.I'he Munnny wis removed by Mr.Salt, from n catacomb in the Thebais, and se:t down the Nile to Alexaudrin, from thence to Bristol.The cuse was beautifully covered with hieroglyphics.Dr.Pritchard, Dr.Gapper, Mr.Sith, and Mr.Miller were the appointed demonstrators.The upper partof the shell being removed, there arose a peculior but not uopleasart.odour.The body wue remarkubly light, and wrapped up in a wultitude of folds of cotton cloth.The innermost layer of cloth was sonked in vome hituminous enbstance.The skin was Ulnckened; the neck and one hand had been nttuckei by u short of insect, In other regpects, this curious specimen of antiquity was very perfect It was the boby of a female.The harr upon the head was perfect.The coverings of the chest and stomnch being removed, oxhibited in high preservation the heart and hungs, and all the for testines ; it did not appear that any part had been removed.Neither the brain nor the teeth ware examined, the head being kept for a more leisurely opportunity.Dr, Pritchard, who has pub.- lished a very ingenious work upon Egyptian Aotiquilies, made mauy pertment remurks on the subject, \u2019 The committee of operative weavers in Glasgow state, in one oftheir reports, that, acconling to the estimate of a well-informed man, the valye of goods innnufactured in thaï city froin .stolen matcriuis is not less than eighty thousand pounds rer annum The Grand Scignior hns issued a flaming edict against the importation of Bibles into his dominions.The chests of the Bible Society, which * hercafter arrive in Turkish ports, nre to be sent back, aud all the copies which have already been distributed are to be sought after, seiged, and burnt.The British and Foreign Bible Society hus, therefore, to sustain hostilities with the Grand Turks and the pope.During the severe gales which prevailed in the Downs, a small bird, enlled by naturalists: the Stormy Peterel, nick-numed hy scimen Mother Cury\u2019s Chicken, was picked up alive on the shore near Walinar Castle, by à servant belonging to Mr.Brooke, of Mnrinc-house.Only three of this species are snid by Berwich to have bean fount in this country, ahd those uot.alive.They swarm in stormy weather in the Atlantic, and follow the ships with a doleful screech on the * gathering of uw storm.: The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to approve of the ports of Dulin, Cork, and Belfust, for the wurehouring of East india goods, \u2018The Russinn Finunce Minister hus published an official statement, tending to tranquillize the wiercuntile world in general an the results of the inundation.\u201d \u2018The injury to goods in the private warahouses of merchants and others hns certainly heen considerable, but, yet much less than report had stated.The greatest.loss fell on sugar salt, hemp, aud potash.By an approximative estimate, the destruction of suger amounts to 300, 000 puds ; but there is still larger stocks of that article on hand, and, as the damage has occurred chiefly to commercial houses of great solidity, there is no probability that a want of supply will be felt by the consminers.The, quantity of salt destroyed is nearly the same, and gives occasion to no serious disquict inastouch ns the price of the article (deducing import duties) is very low ; und na to she general consumption, that is fully provided for by the quantity stored in the depots of the crown.~ There were in store about 600, 000 puds of hemp, a great part of which is damaged ; but measures have been adopted to re- - lieve, in rome degree, (his loss.The quantity of potash spoiled, comparatively with the arficles \u2019 above.mentioned, is but small.The injury to - the houses, quays, &c.is not very great, with the exception of some wooden houses birdges, which have been curried away.The breweries and sugar-refineries have resumed their work.The injury to the Government stores bas chiefly fallen upon the articles of brandy, firewood, and a few others of less consequence.That of brags © dy amounts to not more (han toa_ half.a-million of roubles ; a small sum compared with the quan.titica which the Government still has in store.The.chief defalcation df revenue will be, on\u2019 dg.count of the duties which would otherwise.have been payable on suger'and salt The total number of lives lost at St.Petersburgh had alsa been : much exnggerated ; it amounts_ only to 500 ;a° lumentable destruction indeed, but still wuch less thon report hädstated.| > : .Spanish Commerce.\u2014Some illea.may be enter: / tuihed ofthe prostrute atite of cainmarte in Spain « when it is known, fram the dullioiity of Ne\" Ca-: iz Gazette, that the insurance premiam at Cadiz.10 the West ludies und the Mexicen Const, is 40 per cent ;
