Cholera Ior5us the Galaxy Capt. Swift,
arrived on Thursday evening from St.Petersbursh,
we regret to learn that Capt. John Gurrel, OF the
smp Heroine, of New York, died at Cronstadt on
the 9th of June, and said to have been by choie-
ramorbus. Capt. Gurrel was most worthy man,
capable and excellent shipmaster, and his death
is deeply lamented By his numerous friends.
We learn that goods which were shipped from
St. Petersburgh after the breaking out OF the ePi
demic in that city, have arrived at Boston. whch
being landed there, have been transported hithef.
This not only gives the Boston merchants great
advantage over those of New York, but leaves US,
and the whole country, exposed TO danger, rs IL
we had passed no salutary regulations. Again we
saw let the authorities at every port IN the Cnion
enforce regulations that will give security to the
people, and qua Justice to the merchants Of the
Uniun.-M T. .Her. .7dv.

1t appears that the late disastrous hurricane IN
the West Indies had reached Havana. The Mott
coso Mercantil of that city thus describes its ef
fects:-
On the 18th August violent hurricane took
place in the province Of Cuba, which, from its
great violence and the damage caused, Is unpara
leied in the recollection of the oldest inbabi-
tants of the province. Some Of the walls in the
Moro Castle have been rent, as also the maya
ziBe, and part Of the walls in the Military Hos
pital, but fortunately no lives were lost, owing,
no doubt, to the unfortunate accident having taken
place from half past ten to one in the morning
Seven vessels (names not mentloned) were
wrecked in the harbor, besides others on the
coast.
Many of the buildings Of the city have suf-
fered considerably, Churches and dwelling
houses,
In the country the spectacle presented is truly
heart-rehding Several persons lost their lIves'
besides all their crops. The coffee plantations
have suffered considerably; and the loss goods
stored and crops in the field, is estimated at Sc
vera millions. By such lamen,abe catastrophe
the inhabitants are thrown in great CONSERVATION,
being apprehensive of famine.
It is stated in one of the New-York papers that
the New-York Magdaen report has created a
sensation in Liverpool, and would have 4" some
effect on the emigration from that place" The
effect may be to encourage the emigration of the
most dissoIule ofbolh sexes who may now regard
our commercial emporium as the paradise or CAPT
tai of their order-as the true refugi,m peccato.
