Cholera Intelligence.
The ship Majestic, Capt. Easter
brook, arrived yesterday, spoke on the
2sth inst, off Cape Florida, the brig
Fortune, 8 days from Havana, for Cas-.
tine, Me-, the Captain of which report
ed, that when he left Havana, the Cho-

that city to an alarming extent.
Charleston Is. C.. Courier.
Since our last, but two cases OF Cho-
lera have occurred. The subjects
were black women, few miles from
town, who died in few hours after the
attack. Charleston (Kcna.) Ban.
We are now happy to say, that we
have not been informed of a single case
of Cholera on the line of the Canal from
the dam eight miles above this place, to
a similar or greater distance below, for
the space Of two weeks past. We have
been informed that considerable NOR
tally exists among this unfortunate
class of people lower down on the Ca
nal, in this county, from various COM
plants; and that the funerals which
have alarmed the people of Hugers-
town, and which gave rise to their late
meeting, proceeded from that quarter.

certained, however, very near the ex-
act result. The whole number of

have ID more interments than the

cholera a little diminished. 1t will be
seen from the Mayors report, that on

We regret to learn that the family
OF Judge Rowan has been severely az
ficted by the cholera. On Friday
last, William Rowan and his wife, A.
H. Rowan and Mary Jane Steele, the
sons, daughter-in-law, and grand
daughter of the Judge, were buried in
the same grave. C. A. Wickliffe, Esq,
writes from Bardstown-"The rest of
the family are now in town, and we
hope TO save them. Judge Rowan is
as yet well, but his PROSTATE spirits
have alarmed me. John is sick, but
not dangerously. Harvey and the two
girls | hope are safe, but God knows
what tonight may bring forth" We
learn, also, that Judge Rowan has lost
several of his slaves by the same dis
ease. Sincerely do we sympathise with
the bereayed father for SO heavy loss.
Col. RICHARD M. JOHNSON, in a letter
to some of his fellow citizens who had
invited him to a dinner, declining the
compliment, mentions the death of ten
of his family by cholera.
The Story Of The FISH and the United
States Bank Deposits. Doctor Frank
lin told a story once, narrating a con-
versatlon about the weight of fish in,
and out of water-or rather asking forI
reasons why it would weigh more in
one element than the other. Some
time being spent in ascertaining the
cause of this difference, and many sa-
tisfying themselves of the soundness of
their reasons, the sagacious Franklin
enquired whether, in point of fact, the
fish did weigh any more in than out, or
out than in the water? This cut the
matter short-since it weighed alike in
both situations.
Now, there is a great noise made
about the removal of the Government
deposits from the United States Bank:
and the pros and the cons are busy in
proving, in which they ought to be-
We suggest the Importance of some
body's ascertaining, as a preliminary
10 the decision of this question, whcth- |
er the government has any deposits to
remove.-PhH. Com. Her.
