 After the decease of Smith, many persons
 became impressed with the belief that his death was OccasiOned by poison, and that it
 was communicated by Smiths wife and Ba- keF, in the food and provisions leff at Smiths
 house, aud of which he alone ate affer hisfe-
 turn. A complaint charging Smith Baker and Anna Smith with having poisoned Israel A. Smith, was made toaa magistrate. and
 thereupon they were arrested and brought
 before the magistrate for examination. In the course of inquiry it was proved that Ba-
 ker had had illicit intercourse with Anna Smith for several years past. and had design
 ed for long lime to go away with her; that when Smith returned he found food prepar- ed for him, and that immediately alter eating it, he became unwell, that during his short
 sickness he had many symptoms of being poisoned, S1c.A The presumption, that Smith
 was poisoned by them, being sO strong, the magistrate committed them to the county
 iail. At the next court of General Sessions of the Peace, held on the 98th tlt. the mat ter came before the Grand Jury. As there had been no post 1n0riem examination of Smith. as no positive testimony was adduc- ed, and as wisnesses ,Okom Baker had cansed 10 be subpcnaed scere allO,ced admission into the grand jury room, il is not strange that .a bill was not found against them.
 Alter their release from Jail, they returned to Colesville. and remained there till the night of the 10th inst. when they again absconded, having asIertained that the remains Of Smith were soon to be tlisinserred and subjected to an examnati0n. s.s sa'ifa s3s'. 'ss

 ys, Distressing M0rtaiify.--Since our last we regret to learn that the Cholera has made frightful ravages in as family by the name of Cunningham, in R0ckport, uyahoga county. Mr. Cunningham had suffered from the dis ease on his passage ID the lake, and had nearly recovered. Soon after his return to his family in Rockport, he was visited with a second attack, which from our last accounts he is likely to survive. His little family on the morning of Thursday partook their breakfast together in usual Shealth. and ere the brief circle 0ftwenty-four hours wasnumbsr1 ed, four of that band who had sat rOsindSt The domestic board. were sleeping iin. deatl.ss&A fi(th soon followed. The scene is truly aw- ful In iron, two to eight hours after the at. tack, the work was done. The mother and three children. with young man, a relative 1 of MT. Cunningharh, were the victims. {
 A correspondence has recently been pub Iished in some of t!.e papers of this city, be- tween Mr. 8. l.. Gouvefteus, son-in-iaw of the late President Monroe, and the editor of the Globe, of which, as we have m room for ! the letters themselves, we may be expected to gi,e some account. sa sifss ~ s't it is known 10 all who are .conyersaDt with 1 the controversy between Gen. Jackson, and
 Mr. Calhoun, that it was alledged in behalf ] of Gen. Jackson, that his invasion of Florida,
 and capt1re of the Spanish posts. during the Seminole War, was undertaken in virtue of
 secret orders from President Monroe. These orders, it is talledged, were conveyed through
 JokR Rhea. whom MT. Randolph. we believe,
 individualized as z the spinning wheel" The existence of any such orders was denied by
 MT. Monroe but since his death, and espe-
 cially n.some recent numbers .of the Globe.
