Editors I have had five or six "broods of chickens hatched this spring, eve ry one of which has died.

I am also satisfied, that the chicken has not the disease when first hatched; several broods that l carried and kept at a distance from the chicken house where the disease prevailed, were entirely exempt. And chickp eas hatched from ray eggs where they had never been troubled with the disease, were perfectly free from it ; and a neighbor of mine who built in the wood halt a mile from any dwelling, and has raised fowls for six or seven years past, and has frequently set my eggs, has never had the gapes among his chickens. With my first broods of chickens, there was not one escaped the gapes. But all that have been hatched since I had the chicken-house and coops well white-washed in side and out, with thin whitewash, with plenty of brine in it, and kept clean, .have been exempt from the disease, with occa sionally an exception of one or two chickens out of a brood. .

' HERRING FISHING- EST THE SOUTH. 0 The Correspondent of the 'New Haven Register, gives an interesting account of the herring fishery, as practiced in the eastern part of the Carolinas. The herrings which are taken there, he says, are of a different species from those which are used in New England being larger and; less savory. They make their appearance shortly after one run of shad commences, 'although their grand run, as it is termed,' does not take place Until considerably later in the season: They always go to shoals, and unlike ; the shad, do not confine themselves to the deep water of the river, but enter the shallowest branches of sluices emptying into it. : The fact of the herring taking to the branches, where they jmay be easily caught,' induces the inhabitants to watch the .waters pretty carefully throughout the fishing season, and when a shoal enters a branch or inlet, the news is soon spread from bouse to house, and a motly assemblage of, all ages and col ors soon gather on the banks,: each individ ual being afmed with his deep hand net. As soon as the main body of the shoal ap pears to have entered, they; fall ito work and fill up the mouth of the branch with brusb, or tnrow logs across the mor shal low places to keep them from ireturning; and the poor fish have no alternative , but to submit gracefully to their unenviable fate, death in the present and a fryingpan in the prospective Sometimes several .thousand fish are captured thus in the course of a single hourl .'

It is customary when the herrings enter the branch,; for the person; making the dis covery to spread the news among his neigh bors, so that all may stand ah equal chance HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY. .

MARSEILLES, JtLT 25, 1854. jThe cholera increases, and is very fatal. There were 192 deaths yesterday, and the inhabitants continue to flee. Upwards of 100.000 have already abandoned the place. The poorer classes are encamped In every direction, but as their little means become exhausted they cannot remain exposed j long, and their return to the city will only increase the mortality. The city looks dis mal, and the streets are nearly deserted. .

It is no wonder that our negroes j are so greedy for pot; liquor, when in nine cases out of ten, it contains all' the best of the vegetables. Corn boiled Jn the ear should be dropped into boiling water with salt to season. " Corn cut from the ear, and boiled in milk seasoned with butter, pep per and salt, is an excellent dish.

The Navy has just lost another of its distinguished ornaments, Captain' Joiin Downes, who died at Charlestown, Massa chusetts, yesterday morning. '. This gallant officer entered the Navy in 1802, ahd was in-active service during the war of 1812. We remember that.he was a Lieutenant with Commodore Porter" on board the Essex in his sanguinary conflict at Valparaiso, in 1814, with two British vessels, the Pbcebe frigate and the sloop-of-war Cherub. The Essex had lost her maintopmast in a gale, and was obliged to enter the contest with this disadvantage. Porter had fifty-eight men killed and. sixty-six wounded in the action ; and, finding himself overpowered, attempted to run his J ship on shore, in which effort he lost some thirty more of his men. The gallantry of Lieut. Downes was conspicuous in this af fair. The loss of the British was very se vere. : Captain "Downes was in post! ; Morris being hia seniors.

Will it go to $3,- ortline to 51 ? The question1 can not Le answered with the "same confidence noo that it couid -be this time last year.-. Theii it was certain, from the general de- A; ficiency of the crop" in. Western, Europe, that the price would be high. Now the crop in that portion of the world is' proba bly a full average one ; , but there : are cir "cumstances which may neutralize that' tU,m and render it possible if not probable, that wheat will beara higher price- by next March than ft"did at'anXtnme'1Iut mgrlast season." We will state some of - these cir cumstances - for the consideration of the reader. . f,-' . y.f . In the first place, there are ho stocks on hand in this country nor, indeed, in any quarter of the "world as we aTe aware of. ' This will render Unnecessary to begin early upon the hew crop. Every farmer knows the effects of this 'procedure. If he has to go into his corn, field in . October before gathering time comes, j to -supply the de ficiencies of the old crop, he .will be very apt to be hard run ; tlie remainder ..of the year- ' . ' : .' i ; -' , . As to the productrof the last harvest in. this country : while in some districts the yield has been small and the quality infer ior, in others, it has been abundant and good. . e therefore assume; that it 1a an average crop and will justify the exporta tion of many millions of bushels, t . As to Europe : according to the repre seh tactions, and we doubt not they are cor rect, the crops in Spain, in Italy and in most, if not all of Germany, are very fine. a From Trance, the accounts are not so satisfactory. 'All the papers agree that throughout the month of JuneJ when the wheat ; was in bloom, the rains fell in torrents, plutes tsrrent Idles, as the" French say. The hope was nevertheless indulged, that no serious injury had been inflicted. But unless the nature of wheat in France be very different fr&in what it is here, great damage' must have been the result. We know, that heavy rains in' May,' when pur wheat is in bjoom, are invariably, followed by a crop deficient in quality and in quantity. We infer from this circumstance, that France, if she makes enough for domestic consumption will have none for export ; and shall be disposed to doubt whether she has made enough for her own use, if the government papers be gin to proclaim that the "crop is the most SpWSif&C)<iy ah w Lvf 4faarr usual, -ana peri &c.

We do not exact ly see how Mr. Tallmadge .car. escape from such a trial gi his iaitn. ine iaea 01 tne Dispatch is,a capital one for testing the sincerity of his professions. In "fact there is nothing easier tor the spirits to do than to convince all mankind 01 the truth 01 their revelations by the simple method- of clearly anticipating the events of con temporary history. Their revelations have been, so tar, ot such a nature. mat it is generally impossible for a living man to test them by investigation. . iv hat we want is some bonajide prophecy, giving -us in plain language the details, of events before they transpire,-or before any knowledge of them can possibly reach- us by ordinary channels. We hope Mr. Tallmadge "will see the propriety , of thus fairly meeting the issue, and that he will not shuffle off with the miserable and suspicious apology . that the spirits are not disposed to venture up on such an experiment. iLet him remem ber that the spirits are not the responsible oarties: it is their interpreters , whose ve racity and honesty are arraigned and ques tioned.
