JOSEPH l.. HAYs.-This active officer died suddenly on Saturday, at Philadelphia, as is supposed of cholera. He was dis tant relation to "0ld Hays,' as the High Constable is termed, and was early in life store. keeper in this city he failed in busi- ness. and left debts at that time unpaid to the amount of 1,400 dollars. He after wards was attached to the Police Office, where he did business 'son his own hook, :" as it is termed-that is, he employed few Or no ssstool pigeons" During the ten years he was police officer, he is said to have realized nearly $40,000, and to his credit be 1t said, he paid off his old debts the very first year after he became an off, Ger. He left the Police Office a few years since, and although he still held his Mar shai7s warrant, and ofliciated at Niblo's Garden, yet he was principally occupied as an agent for the firm of Hendriques & Go. and in buying and selling houses and land- ed estates. He has left property to the amount of $20,000. He was alive and well in New-Y ork, on Friday morning at nine o'clock, at which hour we were con- versing with him in the Police Office about the cholera in Philadelphia, whther he was going; he expressed his fears that he might fall victim to it, and on Saturday noon he was corpse.

.Mq. Southa1d dnd inc '. s. Senate.- Some friends surprised is yesterday, with the expression of an opinion that Mir. Seuthard had entertained some idea of re- signing his seat in the Senate of the Uni ted States, in consequence of the recent vote in the State of New Jersey. We know not that Mr. Southafd has ever thought of such measure. We can. therefore, only reply to the remarks, or fears, of those 10 whom we directly refer ree Mr. Southard has more than four years to serve in Congress. His private feelings or his business relations may in- duce him perhaps to resign his place be- fore the expiration of the term for which he was elected, but on no other grounds can he consistently, with what he owes to him. self, the country, and the spirit of the con- stitution. The Senators fof the United States are elected for six years; and this length of time is provided fer by the con- stitution, with view of placing one branch of the legislature beyond the reach of pop ular excitement, and having, perhaps, re- gard to the character of that body, as par ticipating in the executive and judicial du- ties of the nation; and for Senator to re- sign his place because he differs in views from the body which elected him, when that body is continually fuctuating, is for him to violate the spirit of the constitution which he has sworn 10 obey. If MT. Southard is of the class of politicians who hold strictly to the right of instruction" he may, without violating his conscience, vote as his constituents instruct him; but he cannot under existing circumstances, we allude to public matters, resign his seat If the election in Jersey is signal for MT. Southard to retire from Congress, then MT. Frellnghuysen must also depart; and by the same rule, every member of the lower house who has lost his election, must also resign, and commissions issue for new elec- lions to supply their places; and thus no Congress in. fact, will have more than one session of the same members, if the pub lie mind should fluctuate as ii has done.

 X correspondent of the N. |. Commer- cial Advertiser, in letter dated Salina, Sep tember 25th, relates the following:
 A remarkable cure of inc cholera occur red'at this place on Monday. One of the men employed in the salt works had vio- lent attack. He earnestly requested that he might be covered all over with hot sal, from the pans. His request was complied with, and the salt, as hot as it could Do borne, was placed around him m large quantities, from his feel 10 his chm. The result #as, speedy perspirasion, and aquiek regular pulse, and in a few hours the man was almost free from the disease. 1 had this from the lips of a respectable phYsi- clan, who told me, that when an oppertuni- ty offered, he should certainly try the exper- inent.

like allnatur in the old val ssiid ttie nilrl- Der that must have died since of old age, its wonder he didn't lick the British in less than SIX weeks after they had landed #here.' Sc they concluded there must be some ratsiat work somewhere, and the ony way was to go to work and order all the nafnes of the pensioners printed, so that folks all about the country should see III one glance now many pensioners were Ilivin. and how many rais was gettin the pensions of dead pensioners. l haint got time now to look and see how the vote stood in the Senate on this resolution, but my friends Gales and Seaton, who keep a strict account of these matters, can tell.)
 Well, as soon as this resolution was past, the rats began to smell assefeiidy, and there will be considerable of a scamper by the time the Senate meets agin, or l miss my guess unless some of the pension agents take the same stand Major Barry did among the Post Office rats, and say that the Senate haint got no right to hunt rats i'll that quarter, that Congress aint the people, &c. But the people, whose pockets have to pay for all this nibbin, won't give t up. Pitcher and snup' and lsanco,' and TorSer,' and Fer4GF are all settin round the pile of old barrels and lumber; they know there are rats among it, and that they must come out pretty soon, and then we shall have rale chivy. If the people ony stand by and see fair play, and don't throw stones at these faithfhl watch dogs, there won't be rat left to nibble at the public crb.

THE SPECIAL ELECTION.

It seems to me an act of justice to R. T. LytIe, Esq. our late Representative in Congress, to explain the circumstances connected with his resignation. When the result of the regular election was known, a meeting was convened of those who are regarded as the leaders of i" the deaaocrdeqn in this city. The meeting was made up of the holders of office here, excepting the Register of the Land office, and including the late firm of Jonas, Cast 9 Go. and also lhe Editor of the Phoenix. At this meet ing it was resolved to advise Mir. Lytle 10 resign-the Receiver Of Public Monies, and two or three others dissenting. The whole number present, ali of s.the democra- cy," from fifty to sixty. Mr. Lyte resign ed accordingly, those advising the measure, and himself, contemplating that he would again be candidate, and that Mir. Storer would consent to become his opponent. The error of this calculation is now under stood. l have good personal regard for Mir. R. T. Lytle, therefore deem it but civiity to make the whole case known However imprudent the measure. under the circumstances, il IS my opinion he Is hlameless. He could not properly, in such a case, have disregarded the recommends tion of such body of his supporters. But in my opinion q just regard for eonsis- teney and character, forbid him to be again a candidate. Gin. Goz.

The Neosho is new and beautiful boat, of light draught, and built expressly for the Arkansas trade, by her enterprizing commander, Capt. Pen nywit.

 Last winter the Senate got lookin into this business, and, as they thought that wherever there was any money to be had there the rats were at work, niblin, it was best to look into this pension matter. They had jist rooted up most everlastin raft Of rats in the Post Office. and they thouaht best to set the terriers to work smelin into the pension office, and see If there warn't Isome rats there too, but the trouble was how to get at it. they looked over the pen sion list, and one on em said, well, if Gen. |efal Washington had such an army of rale warriors as we have here, batin the number that was kill'd in battle (for they did fight

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM EUROPE
Dissolution Of Earl Grsy's Ministry

Another arrangement, il not positive breaking
up, has taken place in the British Ministry. =
The difficulties and discussions between Mr.
Littleton, the Secretary for ireland, and Mr.. o.
Connell, appear to have led to this important oc-
currence. Lord Melbourne, the former Home
Secretary, has been enJoined by the King to
form a new Cabinet, of which he will therefore
become the head, and Lord Althorp, the Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, has consented to re-
sumo the duties OF that Office under him. although
| it was his resignation which induced that OF
Earl Grey.
| The latest intelligence the subject is COM
muncated in slip from Winners newspaper
office, dated Liverpool, July 10th, p. NJ. 1t is
as follows =
"The arrangements of the new Ministry NAV
be said to be completed. The changes will be
few. Lord Melbourne's removal from the
Home Office will, it is said, make room for Lord
Duncannon, who will fill the situation hitherto
held by the Premier. 1t is also rumored that
Lord Durham is going TO Ireland in the capacity
Of Lord Lieutenant, and Mr.. Tennys son has been
named his Secretary.
1.-The new arrangements are said To he very
annoying to Lord Brougham, who is stated TO
have resigned the Seals and gone down to Wind
sor, to have an audience with the King. The
general impression is that the new Cabinet is
not composed of materials of an enduring quail
ty. A Cabinet Council was held last night
Lord Melbourne Immediately proceeded TO
remain steady"
The Irish Coercion Bill will, notwithstanding
the change in the ministry, it is admitted on all
hands be preserved in.
| The most unexpected intelligence by this ar
rv al is, that Don Carlos had escaped from Eng
land and made his appearance in the north Of
Spain. 1t comes, however, in very question:.
bic shape. To us, it is unaccounable that il
should be known in Liverpool on the 17th July,
that Don Carlos had arrived in Spain, and il vet
be a mattrr Of doubt in London on the / 4th, that
he had left Portsmouth. A contest is evidently
preparing in the Spanish northern provinces, Of
which the result W ill be highly important Gen.
Rodil, with the Queens forces from Portue al
must, ere this, have arrived there and given bat.

Queen Adelaide was a visit TO her native
county She had a. very pleasant passage &c
Rotterdam-an and at the last advices was in the
enjoyment of good health and spirits.
From Portugal there is nothing important. -
Don Pedro has been seriously indisposed, bu
had recovered.
} The change in the English ministry had caus.
ed considerable agitation in Paris, which is moi
astonishing, considering the close connection
which has existed between the la'e British Ca
binet and that of Louis PHILIPPE. The Paris pa.

several frightened negroes were at late hour
found on the premises
| In walking through the sacked district, large
crowds were observed, who were invariably
quiet enough; but about ten o'clock, two mounted
police officers came galloppiDg up and announced
that the rioters were busy in tearing down a

A number OF arrests were made, about ffteer

The negroes Of the devoted section have near
ly all abandoned their dwellings, nearly every

hundred, BEARING the deprecatoyy sign ''To Let.
A large body Of them crossed the Delaware OF
Thursday afternoon, and formed a sort Of bivoua,
in the fields. Others have come into the city
and had every kindness extended TO them by tn,
