TIEE CHOLERA-
The wiseacre of the Middletown Sentinel says
‘ lbs learns that several cases of the cholera have oc-
curred st Norwalkin consequence of persons from
New-York having free access to our part, our au-
thorities not having had the sagacity to shut out the
‘disease by “ wisely adopting" the quarantine regu-
lations established by the cities of Middlctown, N.
Haven, and . Hartford. Vie ai'e glad if brother
Starr has learned, or can learn, any thing ; but in
reference to this matter it is our duty to assure him
that he is quite an ignoramus. ’
The experience of Norwalk is worth something
in relation toquarantine regulations. Ever since
the breaking oat"of the disease in New-Yor‘i~:,thcre
has been an uuintcrnptcd intercourse between that
city and this place by means of Steam-boats pack-
ets, and public and private carriages, and not less
‘ than 15000 of their citizens have passed through
this town, without that time, flying from the pestl-
lence. For weeks in succession from 300 to 500
passengers a day were landed upon our whatves
from the steam-boat; our public houses have been
filled to overflowing ; almost every private house
in the to“ n, from one end ofit to the other, has,

vnong these 15000, cithcr 0n‘bo.'ml the boat, or in this

reported on the banks of the river rthich divides Nor-
walh from F air;/icltl. Brothel‘ Starr, what do you
think of taking the disease from the " clothing" of
. persons from the “ infected district '2”
During the last week a number of persons hax c
been attacked with sickness hearing some of thr-
cholera symptoms, in the vicinity of Saugatuck,
and two persons have died ofSpnsmodic Cholera.
The reports which are in circulation in rcgtiril to
the health of thatvillagc are altogether exaggera-
' ted. Up to 10 o'clock this (Monday) moi-ning,all
who had been indisposed, were convalescent, and
there is no reason to believe that any other cases of
cholera have occurred there except those which
have terminated fatally.
Respecting the last two cases we liaveiobtained
from an authentic source the following information-
“ The first case was that of Ezra B. Grifiin,
lliving about one mile East ofthe Bridge: be was

" l three governments refused to recommend a day of
fasting and humiliation before God, viz. the Cor-
iteration of the Cityof New York, the Governor
ofthe State of New York. and the President of
the United States. The cholera has now been in
our country more than :1 month, and it is a singu-
lur fact, that there are only four places in which
it has yet occasioned any very perceptible increase
of the usual mortality, viz. the city ofNcw .Yui'k,
the city of Albany, the State Prison at Sing Sing,
and the U. S. army. The city which refused, the
capital, and one of the public institutions of the
Stutc which refused, and the army, whose comman-
der in chief refused to call upon the people to hum-
ble ilieiiiselves before GOD, have received the
first terrible marks of his displeasure. \’Ve do
not say that God intended by this arrangement of
events to manifest -his disapprobation of this con-
duct of our public men, but there is certainly a
striking coincidence in the facts to which we have
referred. -N Y. 0115- ,
i'llontreal.—-'I‘ho ravages ofthe epidemic in this
devoted city although greatly diminished are still
frightful. During 5 days, ending on the 94th alt.
the deaths, chiefly from cholera, were 75. or 15 on
each day on an average-, at rate of mortality, coin-
pared with the population, almost equal to that of
New York when the disease was at its lieight.—-
The cholera must now have destroyed in Montre-
al about one-twentieth part of the population. A-
mong the soldiers stationed there and at Quebec,
..“pi'ni.'io, &e. the mortality has been still great-
er. Of-I50, the number in garrison at the coin-

deaths at Newark.

ses and 3 doa'hs at Elizabethtown.
In A./l:any.—During two weeks, ending on Tues-
day last, there had been 337 cases of cholera, and
I35 deaths, in Albany ; ti rate of mortality about
equal to that of the city of New York during the
saine period, taking the difference of the popula-
tion ofthc two cities into coiisitloration.
At Albany busiiiess is almost entirely suspen-
dcd.

koopsie on account ofthe cholera, and shops are

ber of prisoners at Sing Sing is 882. On tho 26th
ult., the Agent reported to the Governor thattlierc
were 256 on the sick list, of which 28 were cases
of clzolera. '
On the 31st, the whole number of deaths by
cholera, from the commencement, was 44, or one
in 20 ofthe pii.‘-zoners.
In Ilroo/rlgn.—-During the 8 days ending on the
SCHENECTADY RAIL ROAD.
Mn. Bitiu:nic'r—-lfyou deem the following par-
agraph worthy a place inyour paper, it is int your
disposal, although never dc-signed by the writer
for the public eye. It is from ti native ofsbis town,
now residing in Ohio, to his friends here :
At Albany I took the rail road for Schenectady,
in company with probably between 120 and 140.
There were nine carriages, which would accom-
modate from 15 to I8 each, though they were not
“ll “utirclv filled. I consider it on the whole rath-
er the most interesting ride I have ever taken.-
‘vVhi-n they learn how to get ready and start quick
it will iiiake quick travelling. It took about as
long to loud and unload, and to prepare to ascend
and descend the inclined planes at Albany and
Scheneetady,as it did to go ever the level between
them, 14 to 15 miles. It was enough to make the
inost stupid stare, to see nine fine looking carria-
ges, loaded with people enough in nurnbcrand va-
riety to make a village, all moving oil’ in Indian
file and lock s:cp,witb nothing before them to lead
the march but It lilaek ugly looking \vaggoii, with
a few corresponding inmates. This black looking
wagon puffed as though it felt the burdvtn of_whai
was behind, but it did not look like a team stilli-
cicnt for the load, nor much like a cause. zzrlapted
to produr.-e the c ll-cl, except to the eye enlighten-
ed by science or e.\;perinient. It even excited a-
rnuzcmwu among the. cattle. In several places
where we passed near them, as they were gl'!lZlIlg,
their Curio-:.ity led them to leave their food to see
the wonder, and generally before the whole train
had passed. their curiosity was so iimcli excited
that they fled, or rather frolicked away, whether
through terror or admiration it was difficult to de-
termine. One might almost imagine that the
horscs were triiiisporred with joy at the sight ; to
learn that man had at length devised a plan to
travel I-‘ASTI-ZR without driving him to cruelty.

Bigfalo July ‘28.—Among the Indians on

In New-Yonx, the Cholera appears to be slow-
ly subsiding. The number of deaths last woek,re-
ported by the City Inspector, from that disease,
was only 339, while on the preceding week it was
686, and the week before 716. It is however ex-
tending its ravages to other cities, and giving sol-
emn premonition: of the work it has to do. In
Philadelphia, during the last four days there have
been 144 cases, and 60 deaths. W'e fear it will be
more deadly there than in New York. There is
there none of the invigorating and purifying sea
breeze which the latter city enjoys. and which
_ has been found in European cities the only effec-
tual cordon sanitaire against the ravages of the do_
stroyer. And, notwithstanding ull that is said a-
bout Philadelphian nicety, the wbarvcs and sub-
urbs of that city are as filthy as any other city we
ever visited. Besides, the citizens are frequently
subject, at this season of the year, to the milder
formlz of the disease, and if the malignant symp-
toms are auperadded. many will be its victims.

that it cannot, with critical accuracy. be at-

were hurried olfin 5 or 6 hours. In most of
the cases, there were some predisposing caus-
ea, such as intemperance or debility, or soinc
act of imprudence, as in eating deleterious
food, which might have proved fatal as well
with as without the presence of the epidemic.
It is remarkable that so fearful an attack of

Doct. BECK. of Albany, one of first physi-
cians in the State of New York, who has
lately visited nearly all the towns where
there have been any cases of cholera, from
Albany to the Canada frontier, has written to
Gov. Tliroop, of New-York, that from all the
examinations he has made he is full y convinced
that the spasmodic cholera now prevailing. is
not cominunicatcd from place to place, nor
carried about by emigrants; that the causes
are local; that the disease breaks out infam-
ilies in many cases why live distant from pub-
lic roads, and who have had ‘no intercourse
with emigrants, or travellers ; that the disease
in most cases seems to be governed in its vio-
lence or madness according to the habits of
the patients; that there is something in the
atmosphere which produces a general coin-
plaint approaching in a greater or loss degree
to cholera 3 that he has been particular in his
enquiries, and has ascertained that emigrants
have suffered less from the epidemic, accor-
ding to their numbers, thtiii old residents ;
that there is no longer any good reason for
such dread of emigrants as has been manifes-
dour territory, the officers of
ted, &,c.
with many intelligent men from the interior,
and" our solemn conviction is, that Andrew
Jackson cannot, at the next election, receive
the electoral vote of Pennsylvania !

at the market their gram peas and beans in
the shell, their turnips with the tops on, 6121:.
just as the inhabitants of other cities do. In
New York the pods and tops are thrown in-
to the streets, the common pig sly of the city;
but the Boston folks have 8. “n0ll0n." that it
is more genteel to let the bogs be kept by the
farmers of Roxbury and Brooklyn. As the
pods and pigfi, however, must needs meet
somewhere, and the pigs were not permitted
to come to the pods, the pods having been
carton! to the pigs. A few days ago, the iii-
lialtltaiitb erlioxbury thinking it possible that
the Boston folks, while they emptied the pods
c~f_'.l-'i=a=;>,*.,‘!_'illed them with cholera, laid the
'w§g-glen’: in which they were “conveyed” or.-
der quarantine, and with a strong police pro-
hibited their passing the dividing line. VVhert -
upon the Common Council of Boston immedi-
ately ordored that all peas and beans, before
being brought to market, should be ‘shelled.
and all turnips, onions, and the like should
have the tops cut off. So now the cont:.tgion-
Isis have to shell and clip for 60,000 people,
and keep the pods and tops to themselves.

The visitation which has arrested the oil‘.-
eieut movements of: large portion ofour lit-
tle army, under a commander crowned with
laurels, won in noble fields than Indian war-
fare aliords, is melancholy indeed. we shall
not say that the settlements of the whites in
some parts of the Lead Mine District, and
other places, where they had no business to
intrude, justified Black Hawk and his warriors
in their bloody retaliation. Nor will we say
that the atrocious policy of our Executive,-
tacitly sanctioned by the acquiescence of the
nation, and clamorously applauded by the. ig-
norant and the interestcd,—ofsetting treaties
and the solemn decision ofthe highest tribu-
nal at defiance, because it was only Indians
who were to suffer. may make the premature
discomfilure ofour forces, by pestilence, seem
in the eyes of the religious a nianifestjuilicial
punishment. We will not say these things,
because it would be called cant. It is, how-
ever, with sorrow that we state the facts,
which we find for the first time, accurately
condensed in the Courier 8.7. Enquirer of this
morning. We quote from that paper.
We are happy to announce the return yes-
terday of Gol. 'l‘wiGc:s to this c.t_v, in a state
ofconvalesccnce. The account which he
gives of the ravages ofthe Cholera among the
troops, and the consequent dispersion ofGen.
SCo'r'r‘s command, is lamentable.
Col." 'l‘wiGGs' detachment consisted of 208
recruits, and Payne’s, VVhIting’s, and Brooks’
companies of artillery, making in all 350 ranl;
a'i:d,fiic. These men embarked at Detroit on
boardtlie steam boat Henry Chy for Chica-
go--but in consequence of the ravages ofthe
Cholera, were landed at. Fort Gratiot, which
is situated at the outlet of Lake Huron. 80
miles from Detroit. In less than ten days
Dr. EVERETT, Licut. CLAY, and fourteen of
the recruits, died at the Fort. One Iiimdrcd
and ffty-jive deserted, of whom it is estimated
that at least thirty have died——‘-leaving of the
208 but 39 at the time Col. Twiggs left. Qt
the three companies of artillery, twenty-six
died and tuicnty deserted. Thus were the
350 pfwlricb this command consisted on its
arrival at Detroit, reduced to 135 in about 12
dies 5.
Col. Ct'J:nMING of the 2d Infantry, with
’Ran‘som and Hoffman's companies, 80 men
from Fort Niagara, encamped at Spring
Wells, four miles South of Detroit. 02' this
number twenty-one have died and tour descr-
tcd, reducing this dotatchinent to 55.
Col» Cimivi-:’s detachment of artillery, con-
sisting of 220 men, accompanied by Col. Scott
‘and his staff, embarked on board the steam-'
-boat Sheldon Thompson and arrived Chicago
with eighty cases of cholera on board, having.
lost several soldiers on the passage. At the
last accounts nearly all the oflicers and‘ men
had been attacked more or less with the dis-
ease, and Licuts. McDuffie and Gustavus
~

By arrivals at N. York, on the 3:}, London
advices to the 96th June are received.
Three distinguished persons, M. de Chat-
eaubrhind, M. II) de de Neuvillc. and the
Duke of Fitzjaincs, had been arrested at Pa-
ris. It is supposed that they would have forni-
ed the Council of Regency for Henry the
Fifth, ifthe Duchess of Berry and her party
in Paris had been successful.
't'ho Duke of Wellington was attacked in
London by a mob, on the anniversary of the
battle ofwaterloo, but, under the protection
of the police of-zicers, he escaped without in-
yury.
The Cholera still lingered in Paris ; on the
16th of June the number of deaths was 17.-
In Belgium, also, the disease had commenced
its ravages; lbu number of deaths on the 13th
of June, at Mons, being 6, and at Ghent, 12.
The Cholera is making considerable rava-
ges in Liverpool, and has broken out with re-
npwed violence in Dublin. It has also made
its appearance in Brussels. "
It is stated that St. Jean d’Acrc surrender-
ed at discretion to Ibrahim Paella, on the 26th
of April, and that a safe tisidunco in Egypt,
with an animal income of 75,000 piastres,had
been as;-'ig'ncd to the Governor of that fortress.
Sin VVr.i.'ri:r. Scor'r.-‘—‘vVe are sorry to
learn that this gontleuian, who has occupied
sollarge a space in the literary world, seems
about to close his mortal career. « The Lon-
don Times of the 25th‘ says, " Sir Walter
Scott’s state leaves no room to hope that. he
can lIVt'. many days, or even hours. He has
nearly lost all consciousness, and cannot re-
cogn-zo the identity of his relatives who are
admitted to his room. He has been attended
by Dr. Ilolland and Sir Henry Halfortl.”

Attack upon the Kinrr.-—We lament that

trocious outrage committed on the person of

fian who, instead of expressing any feeling of
regret, actually gloried in it. ilmmediately
