 Cholera.-rOn Thursday asst the steamer Constitution passed down from Trinity, having on board ten or twelve cases, (Done ofwhich were landed,) and reported seven deaths since she Jeff Trinity. On Sunday, 2lst inst. the steamboat Freedom, also from Trinity touched at our landing, having on board seven cases, one of which, (Mrs. Irons,) was landed and immediately conveyed to our Hospital, where she received every attention, but in yain--she died in about l2 hours after landing. Eight or ten deaths occurred on the Freedom, before she arrived at this place. =
 As yet we have had 10 local case our citizens, however, manifest mulch alarm, many of them making nasty pre- parations to take up temporary resi- dence in the country, until it is ascer- tained whether the disease will spread in town. We hope that our country friends will not cease to visit US, so long as we enjoy a perfect exemption from this distressing malady, as there can be no danger until our own citizens are at. tackled, and immediate notice of the fact, should it occur, will be given.--!b
 Ger. 24.-Choefaw .Nation.--Majo, Armstrong, the agent for removing the Choctaws, has arrived here from ihc nation, and informs us that about 2, 300 Choctaws are nov on their way to this place, and will probably arrive on the first of November. Arrangements are made for their immediate transporta- ton across the Mississippi, and their final settlement on the western frontier. It is supposed that between7 and 5000 will remove this fall.
 We also learn from Mai. Armstrong, who passed by the Chickasaw Council of Treaty, that up to the 18th ,,ltimo, the day on which he left. the Treaty had not been finally ratified, but the prospect was still fattering.-7in.es.

SUMMARY.

Chinquepins.-The fondness of young people for this noxious produce of our forest, is notorious, and as this is the season in which they abound, we can not too earnestly call the attention ofpar- ents and others, to the necessity of pre- venting their use. To the ssernest con stitutions they are the most indigestible substance that can be taken into the sto- mach, and as theirinjurious effects have been sadly experienced oflate, in pro- ducing cholera of the most acrimonious character, we conjure parents to be wig ilantin keeping! !!l.eir ehilldrenfo n tI'em.

Before the evening ray leaves the spires of Quebec, his morning beam has shone for three hours on Port Jackson; and while sinking from the waters of Lake Superior, his eye opens on the Ganges. Idcts.-The whole number of Public Schools in the State of Rhode-1sand s 323. This is an average of about 10 schools 10 each town in the State. The whole number of scholars taughtin these public schools is l7,O34. This is an av- craze of abont 53 scholars to each school. The eaverage time these schools are continued in each year is threc months. These schools are all support ed without laying State tax, at all, on the people.

ihe Copsef. The appearance of Be
 as Comet has been announced in vari ous shapes by almost every paper in the United States, and very probably in. correctly. Many people have evident. y mistaken the planet Mars for the Comet. Mars is now very near the Pleiades, and rises in the N. F. about it o'ciock, ?. NJ. Others have been mislead by the Nebula in the girdIe ol Andromeda, which certainly las some thing of the appearance of Comet, and has caused similar mistakes on for mef occasions. Some notices of Bela s Comet have evidently been manufac- tured from Berrett's Hemisphere map, which appears to have been made up from that very creditable publicatiol1- ehe American Almanac and Repository. t is presumed that this Comet, which is looked for with great interest both by the learned and unlearned, will be, seen with tolerable telescope, at least awcek before it can be visible to the nas ked eye. When it does appear, it is to be hoped that some scientific gentle-I man will give to the publici its apparent place in the heavens, in order that it may be identified by every one. The position of an object in the heayens is usually expressed in deciination and right ascension, which bear the same relation to the celestial equator that lat itude and longitude do to the terrestial. The right ascension is measured east ward in time or degrees from the first point of Aries-but, almost every school boy of the present day, understands the use of the Globes, and on this sub ject we need not say more.
 : Should the Comet pass it's Priehelion later than the calculations state, or ap- pear to the westward of it's computed place, 1t will not come nearer to the earth than fifty-one millions of miles the estimated distance--if month la-- ter, 1t will come almost in contact with the earth. scientific friend, who has a telescope capable of observing the cclipses of jupter's Satellites, has not been able 10 see the Comet up 10 the 27til ut. It's apparent path in the heavens will be eastward, but owing to the diurnal motion Of the earth, and the acceleration of the fixed stars, it will appear 10 have d different motion. We may therefore expect 10 receive many ridiculous accounts of this Comet.

 1 .Meeting of the Pfoncers.-One of the
 notwithstanding occurrences ofthetimes,
 is thc meeting to be held on the 4th day Of November, near Cincinnati, of the venerable remnants of the last genera tion, who, in the vigor of youth and
 early manhood, penetrated, with ad- venturous enterprise, the wilds of the west, encountered all the hard.hips and perils of 3 first settlement amidst the savages and beasts Of the forest, and in compliance with a mutual pledge given at that period of toiI and sacrifice and
 danger, are nov bending their feeble steps to the appointed spot to witness
 the changed forms and features of each
 other, to indulge thrilling and perhaps
 harI owing recollections of the past, to
 contemplate the almost miraculous pro-
 gress of improvement, and to cast a prospective glance at the probable fu- ture destiny of this great and wonderful
 republic. It Is much to be regretted, that the prevalence, in the vicinity of the designated place of meeting, of a violent malignant disease, may cast a gloom over this Interesting meeting, and check the flow of hlarity as well
 as the display of hospitality on the oc- casion. We perceive that a public
 meeting has been held at ,Cincinnati to
 make arrangements for the appropriate
 reception of these pioneers of the west, who, fifty years ago, mutually agreed, | Iifpossible, 10 repair to the banks of the Ohio at the expiration of |; half centu- ".

Premature Latcrnen.-A distressing Instance of premature interment occur red last week in the heighborhood of Old street, St. Luke's. A poor woman and her son were violently attacked with cholera, which in the case of the latter very soon terminated, as it was supposed, fatally; and after having lain apparently lifcless for few hours, the body was buried. The poor wo- man also shortly after gof worse, and became insensible and motionless.- Having been kept as long as was consid- cred safe, she was put into coffin 10 be buried; but just as the undertakers were about to screw it down, she revi- we'd, pushed off the lid, and very soon recovered. Having anxiously inquired about her son, she was informed that he had been buried for several hours, which made her very uneasy, and she insisted on his being cxhumcd. Her desires were, after 2 short delay, com piled with, and the horror of the spec tators can scarcely be imagined, when, on opening the coffin. 1t was found ihe child had turned round, and torn its face almost to pieces with agony, having, it must of course De supposed, come to life in this dreadful sitlation!-Phl.

As the population before the revolution amounted to l50,000, it follows that this dreadful struggle cost the capital ot Poland alone 35,0O0 inhabitants. It is computed that out of these 10000 died of the cholera and malignant levers, 5000 in battle, and that the remainder are dispersed, and become wanderers pn foreign soil.
