TIE CHOLERA.

We received by this mornings mail, an Extra
Courier Enquirer, Of IL columns, dated Sunday.
P. NJ, cmbodying all that had been received nm
to that time, in relation to the existence of Cholera
in Quebec and Montreal, and also various proscrin
tions for preventing and mitigating the disease. The
Editors of the Courier & Enquirer say it is dis.
tincty understood that the disease thus far has at
tackled Unfortunately, omigrants and natives.
We have already published much Of the inform.
alton contained in this Extra. Below will be found
all the later intelligence it furnishes also some of
the prescriptions. The Report of the Edinburg

DIR. WATKINS.

The Globe asserts that "Dr. Watkins locks him
self In prison. the President having again and again
expressed his willingness to relieve him from con-
hnement, if he would put il in his power" The
Globe proceeds: ale has failed TO make the proper
application; and notwithstanding we have given to
the Public full explanation of this matter before.
we again hear The voluntary duress which Watkins
imPAs upon himself, and the distrcsscs of his wife
andA5 emily held up to upbraid the President for a
want of clcmency."
We are so unfortunate rs not to have seen the
explanations of the Globe, and shall be obgcd n
that paper if it will repeat them. What are the
requirements of the law with which Watkins
must necessarily comply, to enable the President
legally, to release him from JAIL and his debt to the
Government" If tho payment of the money be
one OF those requirements, the mockcry of offer.
ing him liberty upon impossible TERMS but cmbit-
tiers his situation. But, is the law so incxorable?
Does it require Representatives,? Could not the Pre-
sident if he mould, find the means of supplying its
want of mercy?
We know not the provisions of the law or under
what sort of responsibility the President lies All
we know is, that Watkins was sentenced for two
years, and has lain in Jail for three; and that W lille

From the Baltimore Price Current of r,;dov

FROM inc DdHmore Ir1ce Current OF ITiddy
"WHEAT.-At the beginning of the week a
cargo OF prime red Susquchanna Wheat was sold
from store at $l.35 cents per bushel. About the
middle of the week about 5000 bushels prime red,
Susquchanna and wagon Wheats were also sold at
81 .35 per bushel On Thursday cargo of 1900
bushels good red Virginia was sold at 81 .30,
and parcel of common quality at $l.22. Prime
Wheats are considered worth $l.35 to-day, and
would probably command fraction more"
This is of course old Wheat. New Wheat now
in the Baltimore Market would coIp mand 81 80
or $1.62 Why should it command less here?
We are surprised that ITO and LOS only should be
offered by the Richmond Millers. The very first
in market, that circumstance alone, ought to Sc
cure to the james River Wheat Grower, something
moro than any other the Continent The dc.
mnnd at the North, the intelligence from England
and the good sense of the farmer who will not sell
at present prices, must have the effect of forcing
up the price here to the Baltimore Standard Those
who wish the commerce of the up-country to con-
centrate here, must make this market as good as
that of Baltimore.

DEAR Sir: l hasten to inform you Of meIan.
choly occurrence, relative to an affair of honor,
which took place yesterday morning on the banks
Of the Potomac river, four miles from this town.
between Lieut.. II Mathews, Of this place, and
loct. G. Walter Jewson, from Virginia. Where.
fore ard how the difference game between them,
know not; let it suffice to say, that they ex-
changed shots at the distance Of 10 paces andboth
balls took effect. Mr.. Mathews was pierced
through the heart and expired without groan;
and the Doctor was wounded IN the lower part Of
the abdomen:-it is thought by the physicians he
may recover. When will this pernicious mode
Of settling disputes, which has robbed this coun.
try of 80 many valuable men, be ended? may
say never. as men will never grow wiser on this
wicked point Lieut. II. Mathews was young
gentleman beloved by all who knew him. CON
sequently his loss is much lainented. In short,
there is sympathy for them both, being young
men and in the prime of life.
In haste yours, &c.

sent bv an accident which occurred in his Iabra.
tory at noon on Monday. When ready to pro-
coed to his lecture room, at the usual hour, he
called for small bottle Of Eliminating silver Of
which he desired TO exhibit specimen to his
class. The powder, probably about two ounces,
exploded shortly after he had taken it into his
hand; from what cause has not been ascertained.
He was very severely wounded in the face; but
not SO as to endanger his eye sight. His right
hand was very badly lacerated and bruised; but
we are enabled to state that the necessity of am.
Putation is not apprehended. There were pre-.
sent, at the time. two men employed as assist
ants. and three young students. One of the men,
and one Of the students were wounded. but NOT
dangerously. The other two young gentlemen,

STEAM BOAT DISASTER--GREAT
LOSS OF LIVES


The steam boat Bradywine, Hamilton, on
her way up from New Orleans for Louis
vile, when about twenty miles above Mem
phis, at 8, P. H., on Monday, 9th inst, was
discovered to he OH fret originated from
some sparks communicating with parcel
of coach wheels, on the upper deck, wrapt
IN straw, and spread with such astonishing
rapidly, from the effect of Il very high wind
that any attempt to save amy thing be-
yond the lives OF the passengers and crew
was hopeless. The night was dark and
rainy and the pilot gave the direction TO run
her ashore instantly, the boat helng in the
middle of the stream; before she struck
however, which was within three minutes
from the discovery, there was not one alive
on board-the flames had flown with the
violence of the gale and enveloped the
whole oi the vessel aft of the boilers, in one
mass OF fire. The passengers and crew,
ABOUT lou IN number, precintated them
serves INTO the river, with the exception of Il
lew and about IL females, who, seeing the
yawl capszed by the multitude who leaned
into it inconsiderately, bernnie bewlldered
with alright, refused to jump overheard,
and persisted III the midst of the flames
the boat burnt to the waters edge. From
one of the survivors, whom we took on
board from the shore in passing the nnfor-
tunate wreck after the occurrence, learn
that upwards of 70lives were lost
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 10Th, gives
the following additional particulars, from
which it appears that the accident was
caused by racing!
We learn from conversng with number
Of the passengers of the Brandywine, arriv-
ed here yesterday in the steam boat Roher,
Fulton, that at the time the Brandywine
took fire she was racing with the steam
boat Hudson; that the Brandywlne had
stopped for an hour and half TO make some
repairs; that on getting under Roadway a
large quantity of rosn was thrown into the
fires, which caused the sparks to fly very
thick, and to set fire to some straw which
lay near the chimnies; that the wind blew
hard down the river; that the number Of
passengers and hands on board was about
two hundred-and that out OF the whole
there was but seventy-tive saved.
The passengers were landed on an Island
many of whom died of the burning before
morning. In attempting to get the yaw
