 THE CHOLERA, appears to be rapidly spreading in the interior of Kentucky, and fatal at any for mer period. In Lexington. it is peculiarly afacting. It has also broken again at New Orleans, and is sweeping off its victims with fearful rapdiiy.
 A letter from Lexington dated the 11h inst to the N Y. American, says Last night was like the three preceding-most dreadful" The writer adds that he has not learned the precise number of deaths, but he supposes they have averaged thirty per day for the last four days. Gen. Bodwel, T. T. Skilnan, (edi- ior,) Dr. James Boswell. Mr. Fowler. Cashier, and Mr. Smith, Clerk of the United States Branch Bank, are among the dead.
 A leuer from Lexington. dated on the evening of the 18th, says:-" There seems be abatement of Cholera to. day. Captain John Postlethwat, and Mr. and Mrs. Dunesnill died this morning, and Gen. Bod ley yesterday, besides many others, white and black Sc numerous are the deaths, and alarming is the disease that it is with the greatest difficulty boxes be had to pu the dead in but few cofns can be Ob. tained.
