MEMOIRS OF RHODE-IsLAND.

The editor Of this paper proposes to
entertain the readers oftbe r. |. Repub-
lican with the materials for compiling a
history ofthe Island of Rhode Island, hav-
ing received encouragement from some
gentlemen already possessed Of numcr-
Gus documents relative to the proposed
object. The preface will appear in rhe
first paper published after the commence
inent ofihe year 1892, and be continued
weekly when not prevented by unavoida
BILE interruptions-commencing withthe
first settlement of the Island by the En-
glish, or some subject connected with it.
aud il sufficient aid is afforded, will bring
up the historical materials to the most
modern times. The century sermon of
John Calender will he resorfed tn, or at
least the historical part thereof, which
work has made this state largely the
debtor of that gentleman, rs we believe
no other history ~ hhnde-lsIand has ev-
er been compiled. The sermon was
preached by the Rev. gentleman before
the first baptist society in Newport, on
the Oath day of March, 1873 being just one
hundred years from the first settlement,
Of the Island. The termination Of a sec
ond century being now fast drawing 10 a
close,it is desirable that the work should
be in progress, and by publishing the ma
terials weekly in short articles, the public
will he able to correct occasionally any
errors THAI they may discover.
Persons wishing TO have an entire series
Of the work are invited to subscribe for
the Republican previous to the lst day
Of January next.

SATURDAY EVENING, ~ u CIock'
Our news schooner Courier e. Enquir-
er has Just come up with the papers from
the George Clinton, Capt. Rawson, tn
whom we are indebted for Liverpool pa.
pers Of the 9Th Of November inclusive.
Tile news from London is no later than
by previous arrivals.
The total number of deaths by the
late riofs in Bristol are 80 and the woun-
ded and manned 81.

THE CHOLERA IN ENGLAND.
Great alarm prevailed through town
yesterday in consequence Of letters from
New Castle, stating that the Choler,. had
made its appearance in Sunderland, and
soon after the arrival ofthe Post, the fol-
lowing extract from the letter of one of
the most respectable houses in New Cas-
lle, was posted in the Exchange News
Room:
New CASTLE, Nov. 2, 1881.
"We are sorry To say that there is too
much truth in the report we had few
days ago of the c. olera having been in
iroduced into Sunderland by the chest of
seaman who died Mt Rign.
II was then stated that the widow, who
opened the chest had slckened. To-day
we have accounts of six cases, five of
which have proved fatal"
II is to be hoped that this statement
has been made IN the absence Of proper
inquiry, and we all know how prone peo-
pie are to exaggera,e under momenta-
ry excitement. The first news from
Bristol described the soldiers AS mu,in-
GERS, aud the sailors as rebels, but this
has bee, proved To he ms untrue as the
subsequent accounts, which assert that
400 persons had been killed. We hoped
the news from Newcastle is no better
founded; and the following, subsequently
posted in the Exchange room, tends to
calm the public alarm:
SHIELDS, Nov. 2.-We have lafterly
heard considerable about the cholera, &
boards Of health. are appointed at every
place in this district Some violent ca
SEES of the English Cholera have been,
hut none that are considered of the COLI
tiBental character.
BRIsToL RIors.
We are happy to perceive that tran
quilIity has been restored at Bristol. and
that the l"ss of life has been much less
extensive than was at first reported. The
dead, in all probability, will not exceed 80
persons. For the following letter we are
Indebted to n gentleman connected with
the London Press, now at Bristol:-
Bristol, Thursday Euening.-The
city continues quiet, aud order appears
once more restored. Every hour pris-
oners are brought up, and property
brought in loads to he deposited in the
Exchange-s'nie of it sadly damaged.
More bodies were dug out Of the ruins
to-day, aud the firemen were continuing
their operations. The Kings proclama-
tion was. posted up through the city to-
day, and AT every corner people were MS
scnbled anxiously reading it. The spe-
ciai cOnsta,,Ies are on the alert, the town
is full of military, and all danger has dis
appeared, but the traces Of the deyasta.

We regret 20 perceive that respectable
Editors ard honorable men in the oppo-
sition ranks. rspiblish private letters Of
individuals in public life, addressed to
Stephen Simpson, the sanctity Of which
has been most grossly invaded. While
they do So, they cannot hut despise the
worthless wretch whose character is too
dehased to notice, hut they may no, he n
ware of the fact that the conduct of Simp-
son throws cloud over the whole editori-
al fraternity. So far from men in distin-

treated with distrust by those whose con-

public man will shrink from correspon-
ding with an Editor from npprehshsions
that changeof political sentiments rnay
