 Baltimore, Sept. 20.-The board of health report for the 24 hours, ending at it o'clock this morning, 10 deaths by cholera-7 white and colored per- 1 sons.
 Ronaote cause of Cholera.-P Physicians mostly agree in ascribing the remote cause of cholera 10 something nn, known in the atmosphere--to some, thing which is nat dscoYerable by any of the senses, and has not yet been de- tected by any chemical analysis. Dr. Waterhouse, speaking of this subject, says:-"when l see vain man attempt Ing to change for the better, the state, condition, or, if you please, constitutions oi the atmosphere, by playing with chlo- rade, or vinegar. ii seems like a child with tea-cup of honey and d teaspoon, attempting to sWeeten the bitter salt ocean.
 Choiero Ertinq in yMontyeol.-A post script to letter from Mcssrs. Gates d. Co. dated at Montreal, ,Sepiember llth, says:--I'he cholera is apparently ex tinct here, and the place as healthy ae usual at this season of the year--anG we consider it quite safe for strangers 10 visit us.
 A correspondent of the New York Gazette, in reply to the prevailing ques- ton, "Why fruits and most of the ve- getablesare prohibited this season, while l T with impunity?" "answeIs--sthatn nothing on the earth this summer has reached lts usual wholesome state of maturity, and is therefore more or less poisonous to persons of peculiar habits. Our sum- mer has not only been too cool, but too wet 10 bring our fruits, 6c. to natu- ral ripe state; and if is 10 tbs pce uliar season We have 10 attribute our present liability to atmospheric aHection.'' 1 From NencZuela papers received by the Lucy Ann. on Saturday, at thia port, says the Baltimore American, we perceige that the Cholera has broker. out in Chili with great violence. A letter from popayan says tbat in one week il destroyed 363 persons at Valpa- raiso, and 59l at Santiago de Chill. The twentieth day of September is the anniversary of the birth day of the venerable Charles Carroll of Carrollton. There appears to be some difference in 1 the statement in various newspapers as 10 his age. In the account given of his life among the signers of the Declara- ton of Independence, it is stated that he was born in the year l737, he has of course attained the age of linety-fve. and this day enters his ilncty-sixth year.-Bah. poper.
 I Rich Silper ,Nine.-Captain Simpson of the brig Danube, arrived at Boston 1 from Chili, states that about a fortnight before he left Copiapo silser mine wa~ l discovered in that vicinity, said 10 be the richest ever discovered on that Con- iipent. He has on board lump of 3pnre virgin silver, found onthe surface. weighing A pounds.
 1 Absence ef naaad.-A ladierous cxans pie of this kind of absurdiiy is told of Mir. K---, a courier in the reign of George the Third. This parsonage, who is said to have been the most absent man in the three kingdoms, went one birth night, to Whites Coffee House, St. James, full dressed, ,cxceptilis stockings, which he had forgotten, as he acciden- tally discovered in consequence .ofspill- ling some hot coffee upon his legs; he Immediately sent the waiter to bring him a pair of white silk stockings, ex- pressing his astonislan,ehl al the iia;.ei~ vertenee he had committed, and con- graduating himself on havi1eg so fortu- nately found it out. The stockings be- ing brought to him, he put them both on one leg and went to court.
 Strange effect of afoo Retinod Pronur- esataon.-The Catholic chapcls, in many of the poorer parts of Ireland, are but very scantily furnished. Inone of these humble places of worship three strange ladies made .heir appearance just at the moment when the priest was about 10 commence the service of the day.--- Gallantry is always nppermost in an lrisiman's mind, even though he be n priest as we'll as an 1rishman. So it was on the present occasion. Anxious to do honor to his visitors, and to show them that he was not an ordinary ora~ tor, whose language was tinged with tho brogue, he ordered some of his flock tt hand chairs to the ladies; but, anxious 10 appear refined in their eyes, his di-
