 Dr. Waterhouse, of Boston, very clearly shews that cholera, as 1t now prevails, is an ancient disease-having been mention- ed by Hippocrates and other Grecian phy- sicians by Sydenham in 1669 that it has oeen noticed, from time to time, from the earliest records of medicine. He biects 10 the word !" Asiatic " as applicable to Ii, and takes the opportunity to add the following note, with reference 10 that word
 l" Mir. ] O. Adams, who sees every thing with precision before he speaks, moved in Congress to drop, as improper, the epithet Asiatic, as connected with the cholera: but his motion vas rejected by an assembly in which he IS

 "I'HE CHuRciI." The London Morn ing Chronicle says: Were St. Paul to return 10 life, and to pay visit to Ire land, he would be extremely puzzled 10 understand how, in a Christsaa church, a bishop should revel in the produce ol i00,000 acres of fertile land, and the tithes ef a number of churches, while the poor, to whom all the funds of the church were originally given, were per lshing around him in the ditchcs for want of relief. It is impossible that the inhabitants of Ireland, mho do not belong to that church, who, according to concurrlng testimony, amount al least to nine-tenlhs of the population, (some say flfteen-sixteenths) will rest satisfied Jill the different religions are placed on footing ofequality.

We have the pleasure of laying be- tore our readers this week, a letter from Judge GHEvEs to the Union Party oi Sumter District. In it will be seen the opinions of this distinguished states man, on the subject of Southern Convention and Notification. He says that Southern Convention is the best measure that can be adopted; that it has his most hearty appreciation, and that any other remedy which has any power, has ''onsiHous toTebodings Of e0il stomp upon t. He thinks it .sthe only remedy which deserves the Eame.n- He calls Ca State Convention'' stdaa- gerous and seductipe n.easuye.'' He thought that there was body of intel lect, virtue and patriotism in the State Rights party which would be ssguar- antec against all measures of ertrenae excitement or rasaness," but in this, he acknowledges, 'sI aas obliged to say haOe been disoppoi,sted.' Again, Judge CnEvEs holds the following language 'lhe measures of excitement to which they have resorted, l am obliged te thnk are dangeUus, at once, in theiI operation and example; and .Aalhfca- tion, the great ultimate measure 10 which they are hurrying along, and to which all their acts tend, l fear will be an a7rfal experiment. ariM Hte poacer and apo" the sseJtare of the good people of Ahe 4state. :" This is tie language of one who has kept aloof from party politics, and who has no objects of ambition to gratlfy.

It is the language of d man who confesscs that he has been disappointed by the Sec trenae erclteaaent or rashaess' of the Null lifcation party, whose zeal and general spirit he once approved. It was sup posed, at one time, that Judge CHEvEs would act with the Notification party, but he has now abandoned them. Col. FRANCIS K.

 The citizens of Savannah have held the largest meeting ever seen ir. that place, and denounced Notification, with only four dissenting voices.

FLORIDA. 4 man by the name of Rogers was recently sentenced to death, by the Superior Court of the Territory of Florida. We have no information ot the merits of the case; but itsaoms to have been very exciting one. The Governor being absent, the Secretary and Acting Governor gave the criminal respite for limited time. The Ga vernon returned, and formal appIlca- ton was made by the prisoners coun- sel to the Governor, to have the case considered and determined. Time and place We're fixed upon; but when the counsel came with his array of evi- dence and argument, the Governor was not to be found, but in his place was hls written refusal to interfere in the matter.
 After this, application was made to the Governor for further respite till the meeting of the Court of Appeals. as error was alledged in the rccord.- Ihlscourse was recommended by Judge Randall, who gave the decision. at least he expressed wish to see his de. ciSion tested. To avoid acting on this application, Governor Duval resipnod his office of Governor, inclosed his commission in a letter of resignation to the President, sent if to the Secretary. requesting him to put it in the post-of flee, and to act as Governor until a suc- cessor should be appointed. Upon re- ceiving these papers, the Secretary (WestcotD retired to the Planters Ho- | tel, and from thence, through c back soi'sdosr, to an oat-housc, to avoid the eloqnence of counsel, the cries of the dying man, and the lamentations of a hfeart-broien mother.

On the 7th of October last the plaintiffs barge, (the Jane No. lS0) was conveying bal last from the West India docks to the Surrey canal. The Eclipse steamer was coming up the rsver at the rate of nine miles per hour. She was called to by the men on board the barge to ease
 her steam, but the call was unattended 10. and the steamer came so near the
 barge that the swell occasioned by the
 paddles. and the rapdity of the motion, dashed great quantity of water into the barge, which in a few minutes was sunk, and with the greatest difficulty the lighterman and another man on board were saved. It was proved that the barge when sunk was worth one hun- dred pounds. When raised out of the water, she was only worth ten pounds. She had been sold for eleven pounds. The jury found for the plaintiff dam- ages eighty pounds. London pa.

WILLIAMS ISLAND. ssI tell the tale as told 10 me-" It is currently said that sex cral gentlemen have purchased this island for the purpose of founding a city there, to be connected with Boston in the manner that Brooklyn is connect cd with New-York, by steam boats.-- By this means, or by means of bridg ge of ice, il is not probable that the com munication would be interrupted many, if any, days in the year. Rumor has not preached the name of this oltera Roma, but the same general though vague authority informs us, that the streets and squares are to be on spa cious plan, while, from the delightful situation, and with the sea breezes that fan il, the new city can hardly fail of being as splendid as wealth, guided by taste, can make #. The channel is pro- bably too deep for bridge, and were lit not, a grabbed and rich old gentle man, generally called Uncle Sam, would loppose the erection of one, as he has ship yard above if in Charlestown.
