We arc aware that many of our citizens have already liberally subscribed, which, together with the donations from two of the Insurance Companies of Charleston, have made up the amount of $500 making a deficit of only $300, which is expected will be appropriated out of the town fund, to which our citizens have now a right to look for such aid.

We have received the following letter from a highly respectable source : Matatnoras Prison, May 3. 1837. Dear Sirs?In haste I will address you a few lines by Capt Minor, to inform you, how we are situated. We left New Orlean on the evening of the eighth of April, aud I 1 - - I - wci v cujnureu anu maen prisoners oil me i morning of the twelfth, at the mouth of the! Sabine, bearing N. N. W, distant six miles, in the United States waters, by the' armed Mexican brig General Teran. Afler we were captured about three hours, stood to the southward and fell in with the schooner Flash; they fired, and hove the Flash too. While the Flash hove too, the brig General Houston hove in sight.1 O o They thought proper to let tne schooners and brig go, and m ike sure of one. After this we made sail, and stood south and S. S. E. wind bearing N. N. E., and blowing heavy. They took out principally all the passengers and put them on board the brig; we continued our course and fell in about twenty miles below the mouth of the river Rio Grande. There the schooner was taken in Over the Bar. After waiting a long time on it, and leaking badly, she was taken up the river about lllne miles, and then pillaged of her cargo, and furniture, and baggage of the passengers, and a considerable amount of money. They confined me and several of my passengers in irons for several days in a most brutal manner, and told us we should nil i,? .?? 1 -?

Uater, we have received our files to May 13th, which, however did not reach us till this morning They do not cohtain any thing of unusual interest. The Colony seems quiet, but evidently as fivtful and impatient as ever, under the variations and demoralizing system of negro apprenticeship which has been forced upon the planters to gratify the visionary speculations of abolition philanthropists at home. The Kingston Chronicle mentions as oiic of the consequences, thai the white indented emigrants beginning to be imported to replace the negroes; are when found to be possessed of valuable qualities, immediately bribed and enticed away. For example, a gentleman who had white men sawyers, two of whom saw 210 feet boards a day, equal to three pair of blacks allow them every Saturday to ctitl vaie their o\Vn grounds; but interested and dishonorable persons entice them away on that day, by offering them a penny a foot. This lends to drunkenness, and also to dissatisfaction at the more moderate wages for which they arc apprenticed. The Arch bishop of Cuba, who has been on a visit to the Catholic establishments at Jamaica, has taken his departure He was much pleased with the Catholic congregation of Kingston. The stipendiary or imported magistrates arc as usual the subject of increasing complaints for their constant interference in rather promoting insubordination than obedience on the part of the negroes. It appears that not content with fomenting mischief at home, our abolition fanatics have sent out emissaries to Jamaica to look into the working of the apprenticeship law. It must be delightful for such disturbers to see with their own eyes the misery brought mutuallv on nlanter and imam hv tliia wicLoil , ? J """ experiment on colonial rights. The names of the missionaries, are Jos. Horace Kimball and J as. A. 'I home, the lauer ot Kentucky. The papers are vehement in their expressions of abhorrence at the suicidal policy of the mother country, which is threatning famine and total ruin to^ the colonies. At Demerara the "Saintecrafti Stipendiaries" as th'-y are called, (chiefly, as wc have before said, old ha'1-pay, worn out army or navy officers from home) are very busy in promoting discontent among the negro apprentices. An engineer has arrived from England for the purpose of superintending the con-' struction of a Kail Koad from Kingston to Angels. I Up to May 5th, the drought had prevailed to a great degree on the north side ol the island. Absenism is as much complained of! and said to be as fatal as in Ireland? the rich planters foreseeing the misery ahead having gone oflf with their golden treasures. From the Boston Morning Post. Consumption.?We have made the following abstract of on article in the Medical Library, respecting the causes and prevention of consumption, which we think may be both int??reshntr Ami iwornt many of our readers.* | 1st. There can be no doubt in lite world that pulmonary consumption is an hereditary disease; or rather that the tendency ' or liability to it prevails very remarkably in particular families. Those who have fair skin and fair and soil hair, are upon the whole, most predisposed to tuburcuiar consumption. It appears to be moit pre-. vulent among chichen breasted individuals, who have long necks, soft hair, and long eyelashes. j 3d. Consumption prevails most at particular ages?between the ages of fifteen and twenty-five. It often occurs, both at an earlier period, when children breathe \ an impure air, and at a later period from a variety of indirect causes. 3d. The tendency to consumption where there is no hereditary predisposition, may be acquired from the effects of colds and other diseases, and from various circutn-j stances that destroy health. 4. One thing is quite certain, that every thing that tends to break up the! general health and strength, may either produce turbercles of the Lings, or to develope those which already exist. With, a view to prevention, if you maintain the general strength of the children of fanii-l lies where consumption prevails, and also! in adults, you will prevent the occurrence of the disease; break up the general strength and the disease will be develop- j ed. 5lh. Another cause that predisposes to, or excites consumption, is a cold and va- j liable temperature. Consumption pre-j vails most in countries where the atmos-j phcre is variable. Hence, it is remarkably prevalent in this country. Oth. Another occasion which predisposes to it, or excites it, is local irritation, especially in the lungs. llence the lung complaints of those who breathe air that is filled with particles of dust and poison1 ous gasses. ! 7th. Copious evacuations will produce consumption. Large losses of blood break up the strength very much, ami I when the least tendency to co sumption | exists, it is very apt to supervene. Mo' therS thus become consumptive by *uck: ling their children too long, and losing their rest at night. 8lh, Might-watching is one tiling which breaks up the strength remarkably. If u| young lady who is consumptive, lias two or three sisters, never allow either ??I' them to perforin the office of nurse for the patient; If you do, consumption is almost sure to follow. Two or three persons in t.ne family have died, one after another, from the combined effect of anxiety of mind and night-watching, on persons predisposed to cons'iiupti n, independant of the inhalation of the od- r from the patient's breath. 9ih. Another condition which breaks up the strength is disorder of the stomach liver and bow Is, and this is one of the frequent occasions of consumption. I lOih. A very frequent "ause in females 1 is tight-lacing. Any thing which prevents I ? i'..ii - -- r .1 _ 1 1 a wus anu iuii i'.\puuMou ui me lUIigS. Rapidity of Communication.?We have been ptrmitltd to make extracts from the official logbook kept at the Live, pool telegraph office ; and by it we arc in po* session of instances of such extraordinary rapidity of communication exactly at one o'clock, through the whole line from Liverpool to Iiolyhend, in order that the different signal men may regulate their time pieces. This is done by a peculiar signal, made exactly as the clock strikes one, which notifies the time, and asks the question, 44 Is there any thing to report ?" ' An acknowledgement to this is returned, either 44 yes" or 44 no," as the case may be. The distance from Liverpool to Holyhead, from station to station, is 7'Z miles; hence there and back, 141 miles, and this signal and answer is considered unusually 1 :r \\' u *i lung ii it ut i:iJ|>ii'S (MIL' miuuir. u iiiiu from the extracts abovementioned, thai in the munlh of September, in which, by the-by, we have had much stormy ami b?id weather, this signal has been sent on IS different days. The distance the signal must have passed in those 18 times, must I be 1,529 miles, which has been done in the incredibly short space of 16 minutes and 5 seconds, being an average oT 161 I > . * ^ i* .1 a miles per minute, in 1/ 01 me clays 1 mentioned, the distance 2.448 miles, the' time occupied was 14 minutes 5 seconds; average 175 miles per minute. In 11 of the shortest periods, the distance was 1.584 miles; iimc occupied 7 minutes 5 seconds; average228 miles per minute. In taking the fiive quickest communications during the month, we find the distance to have been 720 miles; the lime occupied 2 minutes 30 seconds; being an average of 238 miles per minute. The shortest time during the month was on the 10th, when the signal passed, and the answer was returned in 25 seconds. When it is considered that there arc 11 different telegraph stations, and only one mar, gt ea:h station, this will appear the more extraordinary, 11 and speaks favorably of the management 1 of Untenant Watson, under whose super-J intendence the telegraph was first established, and still continues.?Liverpool Courier. Great Discovery in Surgery.?An article has appeared in one of the Wall street journals (the Express) by which it seems there is some hope that the consumption may be cured by suroical means. The surgeon who makes this i communication, purposes to cure the consuniptin (in any case where one of the j lungs is affected) Hi the following manner , j ?An incision is made between the ribs, ami an orifice opened to admit the air in- j' to the chest outside of the diseased lung? |1 so that no air will be drawn into that I a tig'' through the windpipe at all. The lung i will collapse, and remain perfectly quics-il cent and in that state can be cured by the j - d\m - - ** " euoris 01 nature alone, or removed altogether. As tiicrc is a partition between the sides of the lungs, while one of them ' ceases its action, the other goes on with < its ordinary functions. The operation is 1 neither difficult nor painful, and may be performed upon a person in the last sta- , ges of consumption, without danger?as a person in that state would bear the operation better than one in robust health.? The plan appears to he feasible, from the very fact that nature does sometimes effect a cure by the very same process (drying up one lung) and it is the only method hy j which a cure is ever effected. If this t plan succeeds it will he the greatest <1 is- ( covcry in the art ol healing, in modern i times. 1 Virtues of Lime.?The usual applica- ( tion in India to a fresh wound; is that of slacked lime. A late traveller in that coun- ' try, who sojourned sometime among the natives in the interior, says: " A musselman who was in our employ was breaking w..ol,ihe head of the hatchet , came off, and the sharp edge fell with considerable force on the poor creature's foot; he hied profusely and fainted: lime was unsparingly applied to the wound, the foot carefully wrapped up, and the man conveyed to his hut on a charpoy (bedstead) where he was kept quiet without disturbing |the wound : at the end of a fortnight he walked about, and in another week returned to his labor. Lime is an article of great service in the domestic economy of the natives. I have experienced the good effects of this simple remedy for burns or scalds: equal prop- rtions of fime, water, and any j kind ol oil, made into a thin paste, and immediately applied and repeatedly moistened, will speedily remove the effects of a born; J and if applied later, even when a blister J has arisen, the remedy never fails ; I cannot | !say how it might act on a wound the consu-' jquences of a neglected burn." 1 The Perpetual Motion exhibited iti Boston, admittance 50 cents, is a rascally I humbug. The motive power is a live | Yankee, who plays the poodle dog in the ; cellar, and turns t crank which has a concealed connection with tne machine. The imposition was detected, as ;ve learn from the Post, by Mr. M. Pond, machinist, who examined the affair 011 Friday, and suspecting the trick, stole quietly into the cellar, and seeing a place hoxed up, with a door, lie gave a gentle tap, and the inmate, supposing him to he one of the initiated, opened ' Sesame," and lo and 1 behold! there was the crank, and a man, who ai length confessed that he was the gentleman who turned it! i ' . 1 Commercial.

Our navigation, as our readers are ' aware, has been for many days so far open as to enable steam boats to arrive and depart, but little ' or no movement of sail crafl could be effected, as the wind, for upwards of forty days, with the exception of a few hours, at three different times, within that period, lias been dead ahead for any tiling leaving port. This embargoed all but steam boats; but this morning we had a fresh wind firem IN. IS 1*1 arid at 7 o'clock, A.
