Friday's Steiglitz Guardian thus addresses its readers:

'We crave the forbearance of our subscribers for aiy shortcomings in the presi nt issue, as it has been produced under circumstances of great discouragement ; the little that has been written has been done on a table covered with writs, summonses, bank notices of dishonored bills, threats of action for damages for libels, slander, and all sorts of things ; the finale being that the table itself was sold to satisfy the execution of a hungry creditor for the amount of seven pounds. Sic transit gloria mundi. We shall appear next week under a new proprietary, and in an improved form." Cube fob the Cholera. — Powdered hellebore, taken as snuff, is named by Dr. Ponowski, of St. Petersburg, as an infallible cure for cholera, if only the patient can be got to sneeze some eight cr ten times. If the snuff produces no effect the case is hopeless. The doctor has been . moving the different ambassadors to send his remedy to Alexandria. The French would take no notice of him ; but Mr. Luniley has made a memoiaidum on the subject to Earl Russell, and he has passed it on to the College of Physicians. A llumvn Habitation in Liverpool. —Among several inquests held by Mr. Curry, the borough coroner, was ore on the body of a wretched old woman named Jane Leatherdale, who resided amidst filth and poverty in a cellar in Burlington street. The deceased was the widow of a cotton porter, and was a woman of most intemperate habits. She was found dead on a mattress in a corner of the cellar in which she had lived. —A verdict of "Died from excessive drinking" was returned. At the close of the inquiry, several of the jury remarked that they were never before, in all their lives, in such a wretched place, used as a human habitation, as the cellar in whkh the deceased had resided. It was a place not fit for a pig to have been in. There wns not a window in it, nor any furniture, and so dark was it that they had to get n candle to see their way- The

coroner said it was a place they might have broken their necks in getting into. One oi the jury remarked that there was a great deal said of what the health officers were doing, but they could not be doing very much when they allowed such a place as the cellar in question to be used as a habitation. It was stated by a juror that one of their members had been taken sick in the cellar, and had to be taken out. The coroner remarked that, bad as the cellar undoubtedly was, he was sorry to any (there were even worse places to be found in Liverpool. Presumptuous Feat. — On the 18th ultLeslie, the American Blondin, crossed the Niagara at the Falls on a rope 96ft. in length. He started from the American side, wearing about his waist a broad band of thin iron, and from this chains led to his wrists and to bands encircling his leg« about the knees. The irons were bona fide, nol of the description provided for a previous performance of the kind, and weighed about 281b5., which, with the balancing pole, made a load of nearly 801 bs., which was carried over the rope. A high -wind was blowing at the time. When he arrived at the Canadian shore, his appearance indicated that the ieat had been a trying one. lie apeedilj recovered his composure, and in five minutes started on his return, on this occasion relieved of his shackles and performing several ventures on the way, such as hanging from the rope by his feef, the violent gaits of wind sometimes rendering his position one of extreme peril. His success was greeted with loud cheers, — Hamilton (Canada) Times.
