The Cholera is extending in London.
1t has also made its appearance in Bel,

LONDON, March 26.-The King, the
people. and the peoples representatives,
have now discharged the great duty
undertaken by them, and expected from
them. The bill, clear of all damage of

out of the House of Commons, and will
this day, if not at once rejected, sue for

House of Parliament. What end awaits

LONDON, March 27.-The reception
of the reform bill by the Peers, last night,
was not very different from what many
people had expected. A declaration
was made by Lord Harrowby, that there
were new provisions in the present bill,
which he considered Improvements up

The warehouse of Jos. Garnabal, in
Savannah, was consumed by fire on tie
18th ult and 1852 bales Of cotton, yalu-
ed at about $34 600, consumed. A case
worthy ofnote arose out of this calarni-
ty. Mr.. GarDahal sold 100 bales of the
cotton to Mr.. Jos. Cummins, on the
18th, to be delivered next day-the bill
agreeably to invoice was made out and
rendered-that night it was destroyed
by fire. The case was arbitrated by six
respectable merchants who decided that
the rendering of the bill determined the
sale, and from that moment it was at the
risk Of the purchaser.

HOUSTON'S CASE.

There has been no decision as vet in
this case. The evidence, however. was
completed and the argument progressing.
The following extracts show some ofthe
prominent parts of the investigation:
When Duff Green was called, Mr..
Stanbery propounded an interrogatory
TO him relative to the contemplated
fraud between Houston and the Secreta-
ry at War:
This question was objected to by
Mr.. WiGklifIe. Mr.. Stanbery replied
to the objections. He pledged himself
to prove all he had asserted, relative to
this fraud.-He said he was fully aware
OF the danger ofmaking such statements.
and Of the threats that had been express
ed by the Executive against all who
enquired into these abuses but he was
willing to bare his bosom to assassjna-
ton. 1t was then enquired, by Ms.
Bates, of Maine, whether he intended to
assert that the President had expressed
any such threats. Mr.. StaDbery said he
did, and was prepared to prove all he
had asserted. A discussion arose as 70

Extract Of a letter from gentleman in
Memphis, to q friend in Nashville
dated April 10Th.
Capt. Hamilton has arrived here from
the wreck of the Steamboat Brandywine.
and reports that at eight o'clock last
evening, % miles above this place, wind
blowing fresh, his boat was discovered
to have taken fire on the upper deck
In one minute the whole decks were
wrapped in flames, and before it was
possible to run her ashore, between fifty
and seventy of the passengers and crew
Precipitated themselves into the river
and were drowned, OF burned to death.
1t is said that Captain Hamilton and
his pilot although surrounded by the
flames, stuck manfully to the boat until
she grounded, about so yards from the
shore, when the Captain, much scorch-
ed, reached the bank by the help of a
line.
The light was very perceptible here
and upon the coast opposite for ten miles
into the country.
