A letter from Natches, dated the 21st of August,
says :—‘4 All is bustle and confusion here. The )ellow
fever is raging with unexampled violence. Some, who

WASHINGTON, SEPT. 4.. e are sorry to hear. from
the upper country, that a great deal of sickness exists
among the people. No house is free from it, and all
along the roads persons are seen lying sick.—A very
fatal fever prevails at this time through certain parts of
Washington, co. Md. The citizens of liarystown are
peculiarly aiicted. Those of Hageistown have gene-
rally opened subscriptions for their relief.
The Public Authorities at Brooklyn, near New York,
where some cases of yellow fever lately occurred, have
removed ail the families in the neighbourhood of the-
spot in which the deaths took place, awl erected fences
Ito prevent intercourse with that part of the village.
In the Western States, as it appears from their Pa-
pers, the country is particularly unhealthy, relatively to
the towns. A Vit.cenues (Indian) Pape, mentions, that
in the months of July and August, a num!ser of families
had removed from Illinois to Vincennes, to remain
during the sickly season. Three years since, the town
of Vincennes was shunned as an infected district.

The Repository, printed at Charleston, Jefferson'
county, Virginia, states that a ccn,idei able degree of
sickness exists at present in that ei n d the adjoining coun-
ties, and that many cases have terminated fatally. This
but too surely confirms the oral accounts. Ia one fa•
mil), near Charleston, out of twenty-six pervins, twenty-
tour are down with intermittent or bilious fever.

The IN'mu Oilcans. Iris of the 20:11 August mentions,
that the-Board of. Elealth of that city reported forty-six
deaths fronithe 12th to the 18th ultimo. No case of .
yellow fever had yet occurred.
The number of deaths in Pniladelphia city and county
in the week ending September 12 was 112: adults 51,
children 61 : of fevers 32, cholera morbus 7, measles 4.

' Deaths in New York city 101: adults 48, children
56 ; of fever 9, infantile flux 14, dysentery 6, measles 5.

ST. LAWRENCE, SEPT. 2.

The Circuit Court and Over and ",l'erminer for St.
Lawrence, was held ia this village last week.
William Kirby was indicted for mur:±er.
On the morning of 2Gth December la•t.; Kirby led
two children (one his own child, the otner a child of his
wife by her former husban,l), to. the bridge which
crosses the Oswagatchie at this place, in d deliberately
thiew them into the river, by which they weie both
drowned. After this act, lie oceeded to a Magi,trate,
stated what he had done, and•mirendered hipself. The
following is the substance of Kirby's examination, as
taken before the Magistrate, k few hours after lie had
committed the nitirder:—

" Kirby says, he has had it in contemplation tode•
stroy the children for about a week past; the children
had given him

because he believa it better rot the 'thildrento go into

the children bad been baptised by a Roman Catholic

struck him that suspicions might rest upon his wile, and

not to rid himself cf an incumbrance, he having found

The sentence pronounced by Judge WALWORTII was
'feeling and impressive. Kirby was sentenced to be
executed on Thursday the 6th day of November next.

The following brief communication, contained in a -
letter writterr by his friend in India to a Gentleman in
Edinburgh, dated Lamhah, 233 March, 1823, evinces
that piotnptitude in military achievement which has
ever distinguished ti.e British army in its various modes
of warfare. The paragraph we quote runs thus: .
" In the beginning of this month (March) Colonel Knox was
ordered tip with a battalion of Infantry, a Regiment of Cavalry,
two companies of Pioneers, two companies. of Lascars, two 24-
' pounders. two mortars, a company of European Artillery, and the
' light field battery, to take Lambah. Two flank companiesiof the
2d Native Infantry, were some days afterwards ordered to join,
together with the light company of the Mil Regiment, and on the
14th another comp-any of the 2d, as also of the 29th, were ordered
upon this service, with four mortars, They commenced erecting

being only six killed, and as many wounded on the part of es
