the subject being very incorporate man,
had proved fatal, among thesU. S. troops,

about hours since, in distress. She pro

~ OF whom died with the cholera before the
Clay left, which was yesterday morning.
Two men Of the Clay's crew also died. and
there are three more now sick on board, one
of whom viii probably die in the course Of
two honrs-the Others are in IA less hazardous
predicament. On the arrival Of the Clay at
the mouth Ofthe river, she was boarded By
health officer, who, on learning her situation.
Immediately sent up for aid. Several of our
mechanical men repaired to the boat, and
some Of them are yet there. What course
we adopt in relation to the rest of the men, is
yet undecided.
+ The Clay made this port from necessity,
her sick having been attacked during the day,
on the Lake, and all of her men being worn
down with severe labor and fear.

The Providence Daily Advertiser of Satar-
day, says" The steamboat President, which
arrived this morning from New-York, had on
board 2S5 passengers, larger plumber, il is
believed, than was ever brought before at any
one time. Capt. Bunker was strictly enioined
not to land passenger at Newport, although
there was large number on board who wish
ed to stop there for the purpose. of passing
the warm season. 1t appears 10 us that our
Newport friends are great deal more nice
than wise. We thought it was universally
conceded, at the present time, that it is inn
possible to prevent the approach of the chol-
era by guarantees or armed forces. Business
must necessarily be seriously affected during
the present general excitement and agitation,
without having recourse to such measures as
have been adopted in Newport"
The following (says the N. Y. Journal Of
Commerce) was taken on Friday morning,
from the key-hole Of shut-up shop:
