The cholera, in going westward from New York,
has, in former years, shown a tendency to follow the path
of the Ohio River. It has, as twice before, fallen most
heavily thus far on the city of Cincinnati, Ohio, a great
hog-slaughtering city, and situated immediately on the
river, and it is beginning to appear at St. Louis, in Mis-
souri. It is remarkable that in Chicago, situated on ono
of the great lake; the rate of mortality of the month of
July should have risen to 281 over the same month last
year, without any death having occurred from cholera
No fewer than 300 deaths in that city are referred to the
hot weather which prevailed during July.
COMMITTAL OF AN INNOCENT PERSON.—At the
Wolverhampton Police-court on Thursday a case was
heard which showed how Justices are sometimes deceived.
A butcher, named Benjamin Davies, was charged with
stealing a quantity of clothing from the shop of Mr.
Simister, draper. It appeared that on the 6th inst. the
prisoner, in company with another man, went to the
shop of the prosecutor and looked at some clothing. Re

the charge of stealing the clothing. The defence was that
she picked the coat and vest up in a field near to her
house. She was committed for trial at the sessions. Sub-
sequently, however, the police got information which led
to the arrest of the prisoner. A drover named Williams
deposed that on the night of the robbery and shortly after
the police had been to Davies's house, a man named
Trainer requested him to throw some clothing into the
field in which it was afterwards found by the prisoner
Houghton ; he did so and told Davies what he had done.

The Commission appointed to inquire into the
causes of the lato massacre at New Orleans aro pursuing
their investigations. It has already been demonstrated
that the Convention was a quiet and inoffensive gathering,
and but for the unwarranted interference of the recon-
structed rebels of the New Orleans police force, would
have carried on their legitimate affairs without disturb-
ance. Dr. Dostie was deliberately murdered by an extra
policeman who had been heard declare vengeance against
him.

TRIESTE, Aug. 30.--Letters from Athens to the
25th state that there had not been any fresh act of
hostility in Candia to the 13th. The Porte was
concentrating its troops on the confines of Greece.
The head of the staff, Maloud-pacha, had gone on
a special mission to the island to treat, if possible,
with the insurgents.
Sir Henry Storks has arrived in England, and Sir
Patrick Grant has arrived in Jamaica. Sir Henry
received on leaving the colony the most congratula-
tory addresses, and we have no doubt that the regret
expressed on the departure of this able soldier was
sincerely felt. The general has played a difficult
card with wonderful success, pleasing all parties
more or less. He predicts for Jamaica a prosperous
future, and the explosion, however disastrous may
