The Washington Mirror of Saturday
last, thus sums up the latest foreign news.
Don Pedro, Regent of Portugal, died on
the oath Of September. The affairs Of
Don Carlos are in poor way. The
Cholera is destroying many lives in vari-
GUS parts Of Europe. lite ravages at Bill
boa, were frightfui in the extreme. Be-
tween the 9th and 10Th of September,
there were 800 new cases, & 240 deaths.
The disease began to subside on the 10Th.
The town was left entirely to the UNDER
takers and the Priests. The Paris Mo-
niteur says, there is no news from the
theatre of war, except Of some marches
and countermarches, of the two armies.
A bloodless duel was fought at Madrid,
on the 18th of September, between Mr..
Trumbull, the correspondent of the Times
and Mr.. Maberly. 1t originated in some
expression of the latter, rejecting on Mr..
Trumbull's veracity. Intelligence was
received at London On the eth of Sep
TENDER, dated Deinarara, Aug. 18th, that
the slave population in that Island, were
in dreadful state of insubordination.-

CHARLEsTowN, Va. Nov. IS.

On Sunday night last, a young man,
named JOHN WREN, a carpenter EN-.
ployed upon the building Of Col. J. w.
Ware, near BetryviIle, met with vic.
lent death; about mile from Charles.
town.-It seems, from the evidence,
that the deceased, in company with
friend residing here, went, on the a
bove named evening, about 9 o'clock,
to the fence in front ofthe house of
John Riley, a labourer, and hailed the
inmates, to make some inquiry Of them.
After a few minutes CONVERSATION, and
some threatening language on The part
Of Riley, Gun was fred from the
house, few of the shot Of which struck
the companion of the deceased in the
left hand. The young men then threw
stones at the house, and Immediately
thereupon second gun was fired, be-
lieved to be rife, and Mr.. Wren was
MORALLY wounded in the left part Of
the abdomen. Medical aid was oh.
tanned as speedily as possible and
every exertion was used by Drs. Slraith,
Burnett, and Snyder, but in vain. AZ
ter three hours of intense suffering, the
poor fellow breathed his last, amids,
repeated EXPLANATIONS in reference to
his "dear mother."-The deceased was
a native of England, and is without
relatives in this country. He is repre-
sented by his employer to have been
an inofiensive and worthy young man,
and good workman. His violent
death has shocked the community.
The verdict of the inquest was, that
the deceased came TO his death by a
wound from rifle ball fired by John
Riley. Riley has fled, with his rife,
but it is supposed be is still lurking a.
bout the neighborhood. A warran,
has been issued for his appreher sion.
He may be easily recognized, being q
small man, about feet A or S inches
high, somewhat bumped in the back
Of dark hair and complexion, and a,
bout IS years Of age.--Fres Press.

NOMINATION FOR CONGRESS
WINcHEsTER, Nov. IL.

The Wing District Convention met
on Friday, and nominated JOHN r.
Cooke, Esq. as candidate for Congress,
Their selection is an admirable one
To talents of the highest order, Mr..
Cooke unites energy and perseverance,
and his great personal worth renders
him popular with all parties. Should
be be elected, all ,Oho knov him knou
that his course will be that of the en-.
&gAtenea and independent statesman,
not that OF the mere party politician
For these reasons, we believe that, al.
though nominated by the opposition,
he will receive large vote from the
liberal and indeptndsnt men Of the
Jackson party. The people Of this
congressional district have confidence
in his integrity and pride in his talents
they kaow that his course will be
governed by principle, and not BY any
factious spirit, and kno,oing this, We
doubt not that they will give him a cor
