experienced some difficulty in procuring suitable
places for Cholera Hospitals, in consequence Of
an unwilngncss on The part of those who own
houses, 10 have them thus applied. For this rea.
son, 1t has been resolved TO hold the City Hall in
readiness, in case the disease should appear amonst
us. l conceive this to be unfortunate selection
both account of the Interruptions thrown in the
way Of the business OF the courts for an indefinite
time and also, from the considerable expenditure OF
money, which would be required, to convert court
rooms into hospital wards. 1t would, 1 imagine be
more easy, and less expensive, to find asylum for
the paupcrs; and in that case, the present Aims
House would afford spacious and airy accom-
nodatiohs, with different apartments, for the differ
ent stages of disease. 1t may bc borne in mind,
that this house is within fifteen minutes drive of any
part Of the city,

COL. BENTON'S VE2ICITY.

All admired the lIardihood Of Senator Benton,
when on the floor of the Senate he charged Mr.
Clay in effect, with a want of veracity, for, the
known and unqucstonable author of the East Room
letter. one could imagine that OIL such theatre,
and on occasion which tho whole American
world would be called upon to observe, he would be
the man to impute suspicion Of want Of vcraciy,
as a damning spot-that he would venture to step
forth, the volunteer, indignant and incxorable
champion of truth. Few starting circum-
stances, have occurred in this time prolific of moral
phenomena. Scarcely less remarkable, was his
boldness in joining issue with Mr.. Clay, qucs-
ton of relative crcdibihy lie denied that he had
used the expression that if Cen. Jackson elect
ed, Members of Congress would have TO legislatc
with pistols in their BELTS lie denied that he had so
said in or out of Missouri; and ho promised TO pin
the caumny to Mr.. Clays sleeve, its original in
vontor. This recurrence promised, we ask the read
ors attention to the following article from the ST.

cit will be seen by the account Of the pro
cecdngs of the Senate, copied below that Col.
Benton has, at last pcrcmptorily disavowed the
pressIons, that have so often been attributed to
him, said TO have been uttered before the election
OF General Jackson and when Col. Benton

Inc gave the probable character of the present adj
mmistration. The expressions imputed to the Col
oncI, as our readers know, were, in substance,
that IT General Jackson should be made resident,
members of Congress would have to lepislate with
pistols in their belts. These expressions with the
imputed authors name, have gone tho rounds of
three fUurths of the newspapers in the United
States, but not until after they had been heard and
believed by half the people Of the Senator's own
State. few weeks since, Col. Lawless, a friend
of Mr.. Benton, appeared in newspaper in This
city, with an elaborate argument, intended TO
prove by circumstances that the charge of author.

THE CHOLERA,

From the North, the accounts cfthc day are more
latory. There is an abatement at New York
and Philadelphia and in the interior, it does not
appear to DO worse. But from Norfolk and Suf
Folk, the tidngs are melancholy, and we fear
from what we hear, that the uhole truth docs not
appear gentleman from the Borough so in
forms u.s. and the impression is very general hero.
This is unfortunate, because the idea once admit
ted that the whole is not told, it follows that the
public will believe it too bad to be told, and the
imagination at once groatly exaggerates the re-
atty to the indefnable increase of the panic which
olreadily unhappily porvadcs the land. Whatever
the fact may be, we assure the Norfolk Board of
Health, that, whether justly uniustly. their re.
ports arc not received with implicit credit either
i'll Norfolk ITSELF n; this distance We arc assu-
red of it by letter and personal intercourse.
