Of the many advices given, we believe the following to be the best It was read from the pul pits of some of the Methodist churches of the country, and we give it for the benefit of all concerned "Prepare for Cholera There is every reason to expect it will be here by the middle of May or the first of Its victims will be principally 1st Those who make a practice of get ting drank. 2d.

Those who are not cleanly in their persons and bouses. 8d. Those who are irregular iu (heir habits, keeping unseasonable hours', eat ing irregularly, etc. 4th. Those living in filthy, dirty locali ties.

To Prepare for Cholera 1st Be scrupulously clean in person, bathing the whole body daily, and keeping the entire clothing clean. 2d. Clean thoroughly and whitewash your rooms, outhouses and premises generally. 3d. See that no swill, garbage, or other refuse matter is thrown out either on your lot, street, or alley.

Clean up thoroughly your whole premises, in doors and out, and set an example of cleanli ness to your neighbors. 4th. If your landlord refuses or. neg lects to do his duty in putting his houses and lots in proper order, report him to the Health Officer or our Visitor in your district Use simple, wholesome food, thoroughly cooked, avoiding stale vegetables or tainted meats. Do not give way to fear or panic.

This will increase your dan ger. Cholera will in most cases yield to skillful treatment if taken in its first stages. Watch for the first symptom, which is usually a diarrhcea. Do not neglect it for a single hour, however mild it may be; delays are dangerous. Avoid all nostrums and advertised Cholera Medicines, (most of them will do more harm than good.) Apply at once to some reliable physician.

None of our physicians will refuse their services at Such a time to the poorest" A Large Commissiok House. A large commission house, as a general thing, is of the greatest advantage to a city like Memphis. We were forcibly reminded of this in examining the capacious house of Messrs. Black, Cameron pro duce and commission merchants, on Charlestoa aveaue, near the Memphis and Charleston railroad depot These gentlemen are well known for their popularity, and for being liberal and sterling merchants, who understand how to make it the interest of customers to deal with them. They thoroughly nnderstand the commercial interest of our city and the surrounding country; and onr friends abroad, as well as those of the city, will find this firm one of the most reliable in the country.

Tbe members composing it are all clever, amiable gentlemen, who will, at all times, pay the strictest attention to the interest of those who faror them with their patronage. A Ejolisi Neoro. We heard a strange story yesterday of a ncfro claim ing British protection. It runs thus: It well known that General Fist some time ago issued an order, for the better security of tbe unitary conditio of the city, that the premises of all colored people should be kept To better further this; measure, we are told, the Bureau taxes the negroes one dollar each, for the purpose of paying the necessary 'expenses! incurred la placing the houses occupied by freedmen in proper order. 'One of the proper officers came np to a negro and asked for the tax, which Sambo refused to pay.

He was consequently arrested and taken before the Sambo finding himself in close quarters, and not admiring the justice of the furniture," claimed British protection and refused to pay the tax on that bead. We are informed that Sambo produced his proper papers, but as Eng land has no right to interfere in the laws framed for the protection of this country, which brings everyperson living here subject to them, Sambo was quietly made to pay the tax and a fine of ten dollars, which he forked out before leaving. A Fight or colors. Inere was a regular set-lo yesterday, near Poplar street, between a white woman and a colored one. It seems that the latter wagged her tongue pretty freely, using the worn out expression of "white trash," a nigger's better tban any white pus son," ete.

The Bureau was brought in often. This kind of furniture not being admired by the Caucasian race, the white woman went into the negress and, to sse an old expression, wore her out" The aid of a policeman was next called in, and contrary to the expectations of tbe daughter of Ham, he took his dusky sister" to tbe station-house, where she remained all night We were told that the officers jif the Bureau were around but could not learn that any arrests were made. Important Resolution. At the Chamber of Commerce yesterday, after the reading of the report of the Com' it tee. the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Retained.

That a committee of three be appointed to confer with the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, for the purpose of reauestine the city to appropriate the sum of 1400,000 dollars for the comple tion of the Iron Mountain railroad. Resolved, That the Board of Mayor and Aldermen be requested to appropri' ate a liberal sum for the completion of tbe Memphis and Little Kock railroad. Upon motion of Col. McMahon, Mes srs. Dan Able, H.

Porter, A. T. Lacey, Samuel Tate, B. C. Brinkley and W.

B. Waldron were appointed as committee to visit St Louis on the Iron Mountain railroad question. The Authority or the Bureau De-KIrd bt a Negro. Quite a large crowd was assembled in the vicinity of Main and Madison streets yesterday, by a disturbance created by a negro who refusd to be arrested by an officer of the Bureau. Upon inquiry, we were told that the negro was called or to pay tbe sanitary tax, which he refused td do, whereupon the officer arrested him.

The negro claimed that the Bureau bad no authority to enforce the tax, nor had it the right to arrest him, since the Civil Rights bill was now a low of the laud. There was considerable interest manifested on the result by the crowd. But whether right or wrong, the offloer had power enough to take the. refractory freedman along, and the Bureau will teach him the law on the subject. Theatre.

There was a densely packed house at theatre lust evening as a compliment to the great and popular actress, Miss Charlotte Thompson. It was a perfect ovation to her talent, and one 'that she can long remember with pride. In consequence of the large num ber who 'failed to witness the beautiful play oC Jlich and Poor last evening, owing to the crowded state of the house, it will be repeated again tfcis evening, with the petite comedy of Conjugal Let- son, the entire strength of the company appearing. We expect to see one of the best Saturday evening houses present of the season, as Miss Thompson appears in both pieces, and there is much interest manifested to see her in the last piece.

Such a falling off in cotton as has taken place within the past seventy-two hours, was never heard of before in that short space on this continent' In that time there has been a decline of teven cents. Those who, a few days ago, bought cotton freely now find it on their hands and fail to find offers even at the market prices. How many of the cotton merchants through the country this deline will affect there is no telling; certain it is, that many fortunes have faded from the eyes in the past three days.
