FAST AND HUMILIATION.

Friday next has been sot apart by tho various re.
igious denominations in this city, AZ day of fast.
ing, prayer and humiliation, to avert that dreaded
soourge, the Cholera. We have been requested to
express the respectful intreaty, and earnest hope
that on that day, business will be suspended, aud
tho doors Of people of business, closed. Sucks
demonstration of respect is due to the OCCASION 70

Pestiience, and that working cut his inscrutable
purposes by secondary causes and instruments,
Providence will scarcely vouchsafe miracle in re.
sponse to mortal applications. All theso things
h"wevcr, are vciied in impenetrablc mystery. We
know not his councils or his rules. We do know
from tho nature of things, that prayer and the
humbiing of ourselves at his footstool, cannot be
unacceptable. In any event, day is a loss which,
all may bear, and which easily be repaired

TO the duties of religions that business will DO sus

permitted to rcpose.
The last accounts from New York, are calcula.

have led TO the appropriation of day for fast and

Our city is rapidly cmptying of its inhabitants,
ana every Day we seem TO see a less number about

that one third to half our population is missi1r.
Several large mechanical and other establishments
have been closed, and great number of dwellings,
arc vacated. All this appears strange TO u.s. for as
we SAID the other day. do honestly believe there
is less danger to persons of coraect habits, in tho

THE CHOLERA

GJ We give below the Report of tho Board of
Health OF yesterday, and 1t becomes our duty say
frankly to our fellow citizens, that the disease is
on tho increase and in no way mitigat in its vio-
ience We arc not alarmists-on the contrary ev-
cry confederation of interest and of feeling is cal
cuiated to induce us to suppress rather than exap-
gerate the facts daily developed. Business in CT
~ is literally at stand & during the past four weeks
our collections have been arrested AZ this moment
they arc minus Six Thousand Dollars what they
would have been if this pestilence had not visited
US, and when we say that the disease is on the in.
crease we but comply with sur pledge to tho pub
lie 10 give them facts as they occur.
Among tho deaths yesterday, We have to an
nounce the decease of Gen. Muir the Commissa
~ General of the State and President of the Etna
Insurance Company. He was attacked at ono
o'clock yesterday morning and buried at six O'Clock
last evening. Mr.. S. I. Tobias, a highly respec
table importer in Pine ST. and Mr.. -, of Cham.
beTs ST. are also numbered with tho dead 1t would
appear then, that the pestence does not confiue
Hsot 10 ths poor and destitute, but attacks indis
criminateiy all who come within its range.
Thus far our reports Of cases and Of deaths rive
no correct data Of tho Tavages Of tho Cholera
Many OF tho cases (neither of those referred to- !
are not reported and Of tho deaths those only are
enumerated which happen previous tn tho reports
at IL O'Clock. Thus Ii individual is attaked at
etesen, reported at tpeFpe and dies at one his death
Is not given to the prblic by tho Board of Health!
sthis right Do they in this discharge tfoir duty
TO tho public7 we have now before us commG.
nIcation, charging the City Inspector with sup
pressing tho character of tho disease, and the num-
Der OF deaths, and referring to reports of Phys-
eionS disrogarded by the Board Of Health. II This
% rue ne should be promptly removed from Office,
ana We call upon the Common Council to do their
duty in tho premises. We have also calculation
which VIII make tho deaths of the week ending
this day, 400 or 20 per day We believe this cal.
sn'ation 70 DC correct, and advise the Inspect
or to perform his duty without reference TO any
other authority We again call upon the Board If
Health to make arrangements to report daily all
the deaths which occur by Cholera, instead of
those only which happen before the casee are r.
ported by tho attending Physician. It is their
duty to do so, and their constituents will not be
satisfied unless that duty is performed.

Col. SAMUEL LWARD.-Underthe obit-
uary head this afternoons, will be found
announced the death of Col. Samuel
Ward, n vetran Of the Revolution, and
one Of the most venerable survivors of
the patriots who fought for our indepen-
dence. We believe that he had scarce
ly attained the age of eighteen, when he
was appointed Captain Of company
raised in RhodeIsland, and served un-
der the command of General Green at
the siege Of Boston. He was sYbse-
quentIy appointed Captain in the Cont
Mental Line, in which capacity he ac-
companied the expedition of Arnold to
Quebec, where he was taken prisoner on
the 3lst October, l775. He was ex-
changed in the fall Of the ensuing year;
and soon after was raised to the rank of a
Major He was engaged at the battle
Of Red Bank, in October, l777; had
command of a regiment in the retreat OF
Sullivan; and served as Lieutenant Col
from l779 until the conclusion ofthe war
Col. Ward was a native of Rhode-ls-
land, in which state his family and that
of the Greens, to whom they are nearly
allied, have always been distinguished
for their influence and respectabiity.-
After the Revolution he settled in this
state, and carried on business extensive
ly for many years, as an eminent mcr-
chant. On returning to his native state
! where he devoted himself to agriculture
and to the education of numerous fam
lily, his clear sense, general knowledge
and sound patriotism were often invoked
by his fellowcitizens; and particularly
on some most trying occasions, when he
did not refuse to step forward in what he
! believed to be the line of duty. Fol
many years after he resided on his farm
near jamaica, Long-Island; and latter.
:. Iy in this city, where, retaining all his
faculties, and his equal agreeable tenn
permanent to the last, he has now died
full Of years and honors.
