bered, that when the disease had been in New
York Just as long as it has afflicted Philadelphia,
their report was 31l cases and 104 deaths in "a
hours. We had greater warnings in this city.
and our physicians improved the opportunities
which the sickness afforded of ascertaining its
character before it arrived here. Our city pos
sesses the means of cleanliness IN an eminent
degree, and these means were promptly and eX.
t%ensively employed, and the hospitals were in
readiness long before the disease required their
use.
In other cities, it has been remarked that the
number of interments of persons who died of the
Cholera greatly exceed that reported by the ply.
s%icians: the reason is obvious--here for a whole
week there is an excess OF only twenty, so that
the worst is known, and we sincerely believe
that the worst has passed. Our physicians now
understand the disease; they have the confidence
Of the peoples; the weather has become favorable.
and the reports show a diminution of cases and
Of deaths. This is truly a matter of felicitation,

A friend at Newcastle, Delaware, under date
of Saturday, writes thus" No cases Of cholera
have occurred within these two days. Those
who have suffered by it, have all been traced to
the eating Of putrid oysters on Monday and Tues,
day last. "-Nid.
Among the deaths by cholera on Saturday last,
we regret to mention that OF DR.. G. G.. CoNwELL.
of this city, nephew of Bishop ConweIl. He was
violently attacked by the disease at about three
o'clock in the morning, aud ceased to exist in four
hours. He was a young man Of unqueslionable
genius, and the author OF several literary perfor-
mances of great merit. Doctor ConweIl was a
son of the Emerald Isle-ever true to his country
and his countrymen-warm hearted, frank, &c.
n%erous, and gifted in an extraordinary degree.
We believe we speak the truth when we say, he
has not left behind him a single enemy. Peace
to his ashes!-PhA Ing.
