The LIST, I'd and llh are doubtful The other Pa

districts the majorities several thousands; but
or of the locooco districts there not 500 ma
iority. All the ocofocos in the Senate will support
this BILL except one, and it.wil doubtless be carried
and pass the House
The WEArnER-HEALrH, Nc.-Although we have
had the most trying and tickle weather imaginable
for some weeks,yet every par, of the country seems
very healthy A Charleston paper Of Wednesday
says, "whlle the northern cities were last week ex-
perlencing an extraordinary degree of heat, the
thermometer ranging SO to 80, at nearly the same
time we appear to have rushed suddenly into Au-
umnal weather, the temperature having been since
Monday so low as to render winter clothing COM
Portable"
In Montreal, on the same day, the thermometer
fell to 49, Louisville paper of the same date says
-"We were yesterday visited with a cold north
east storm; and the atmosphere this morning feels
more Ike morning in March than the I'd of August
The thermometer is down to 81 deg.
AT New Orleans there is very little sickness; what
there is, arises chiefly from colds and is made evil
dent in slight febrile symptoms and laxity of the
system.
AT Mobile the case seems to be different. The
Herald of August 7th, says:-
The Sun begins to pour forth his rays now with
vengeance-makng up for lost time, we suppose-and
travelling funds leaving in hurry sickly season
prophesied by from the singular and unpreceden
ted cool and wet weather have experienced for the last
six or seven weeks Withn the memory Of the Oldest
inhabitants" Mobile has felt such before.
In the city Of New York yesterday, as a matter of
course, we had thunder storm and two heavy
showers; and it was cold enough for an overcoat
FROM BRAzlL.-we are sorry to add that the re-
beion spoken OF in the papers to the Sd of June,
theprovnce of St Paul's has spread to the mines,
and to some parts of Rio The government has
found 1t necessary to suspend the guarantees OF the
Constitution, and several individuals have been
rested. The communication with the adjoining
provinces being interrupted business is almost at
stand, and the demand for goods for the present is
likely to be confined to this city and neishborhood.
We also fear that the receipts of produce will be
comparatively Light, and may cause prices to adj
vance; indeed, unless the disorders speedily sup
pressed, the worst consequences are to be appre-
hended, and must eventually cause great falling
on IN our imports and productions.
FIRE-A fire broke out last night in Greenwich,
one door from the of Laight street, in gro
Gerry and liquor store. 1t burnt off the tops of two
or three wooden buildings, and did about ST 900
damage. The speedy arrival of Nos. and ii, and
the activity and energy of their men, with those of
all the other engines on the ground, prevented
very serious conhagration, as the wind was high at
the time.
YALE CoLrEaE.-The annual commencement of
this time-honored University, takes place next.
Thursday The day before, Professor Sman de-
Ii vers address before the Society of the Alumni
In the afternoon of the 18th, the Theological depart
Prof Dickson, of Charleston delivers an Grafton be-
fore the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
BIG GUN.-Captain Stockton has recently tried
his big gun at the Philadelphia Navy Yard 1t beats
the English gun hollow 1t is 13 feet long, with a
bore of IL inches, and will carry ball of ll2 lbs.
Five shots were fired, the charges severally con-
tanning Is, Is, 49, 40 and As lbs. of powder. She
Numbered, and no mistake. The trial was in every
respect satisfactory.
RUMoR.-That the Wings are about to Withdraw
Mr.. Clay, and substitute John c. Adams, on ac-
count of the results of the recent elections. You
don't say SO!
OPIUM EATERs.-Snce the temperance societies
have been spreading extensively, the number of
opium eaters and laudanum drinkers have most
wonderfully increased They number many hun
dreds, in this city and Philadelphia and the quantity
of opium and laudanum consumed by females only
is incredible.
o. There is large Anti-SIavery Convention
low holding at Nantucket.
MECHANICS WANrED.-The Columbia Is. c.
paper says number Of jouneymen carpenters
would find employment and good wages If they
would come to Columbia. The progress of re-
building the burnt district has been much retarded
for want of them.
