a predisposition to the disease which struck him
from the roll OF living men in an instant, had been
induced by close application to study--at least SO
those assert who knew him best. Lord George
was the second son Of the Duke of Portland, and
in the 10th year of his age. He was never mar
ricd. 1t is supposed that the Marquis Of GRANRY
will succeed him in the House of Commons as the
leader of the Proectionsts.
The Cholera is marching steadily towards us; |;
it has reached Paris, and there of Asiatic
cholera in London reported last week. Direc-
fioRs for treating the Cholera" and other proofs
of its proximity, if not OF its presence are adyerts
ed for sale and exhibited in the booksellers win
dows. The Times appears to make light of the
disorder, and says it is a mistake to imagine that
It's visitation is attended with any extraordinary
mortality; that more persons by far died of the in
fuenza last year in London than did of the cholera
when last in that city, The cholera is pronounced
decidedly andin its early stage
very easy OF cure. Panic is deprecated, and cheer
fulness and composure and ease recommended.
There is nothing new in London. The Queen is
yet in Scotland, but the gloomy wet weather which
has succeeded to the beautiful season preceding,
will probably hurry her Majesty back 10 the south
and drive hundreds of absentees from Cheapsde
and Cornhill back to their usual busy hauns.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL has been informed that he
will not be wanted at Clonmel as witness on the
trial of Mr.. OBRIEN; a position from which his
Lordship will no doubt gladly escape
All is quiet in IRELAND. True hills have been
found against Mr.. O'BRIEN and tn, other parties
accused of high treason, and the trials are about
commencing.
There is very little new from FRANCE. LOUIS
NAPOLEON has taken his seat in the National As
sembly in very quiet unobtrusive way, and made
good speech from the tribune, in which he pledg-
ed his loyalty and devotion to the republic. M.
RAspAILs election to the Assembly is admitted but
the prosecution against him has been ordered to be
continued by an immense majority, SO that he can
not take his seat unless he is acquitted on trial
M. MOLE has also taken his seat for Bordeaux, and
was received with marked attention.
SEPTEMBER 2STH-The military commission
charged with the examination and classification of
the insurgents of June have concluded their labors.
They have been employed nearly two months for
eight hours every day, without excepting Sundays
and holydays. They had to scrutnize twelve thou
sand files of examinations, &c. The total Of the
accused on whose cases they had to decide was
lO,83S. Of these 6,236 have been set at liberty,
4,346 condemned to transportation and 256 sent be-
fore courts-martial. The National Assembly is
busily employed discussing the new constitution.
The article which declares that every citizen shall
be taxed for the maintenance of the Government in
proportion to his property was carried by vote
Of 644 to 9s, and with great applause. Such ma
jorlties on such questions augur wel and give
strong guaranty for justice and order. Should the
constitution get fixed and the President of the re-
public elected before the winter commences, and
any great number of unemployed operatives again
assemble in Paris, we shall regard France as safe
from internal enemies, and we do not at present
perceive any one threatening her from without.
There is very little new respecting GERMANY.
Every thing is quiet at present in Frankfort, Wen
ma, and Berlin. There have been slightdisurbances
at Friburg and Baden. The Archduke JOHN and
the Central Parliament are employed on the great
work committed to them. There seems to be con-
siderable apprehension in Vienna that JELLAcHIcH,
the Ban Of Croatia who has lately been so success
ful against the MAGYARs G Hungary, will, after he
has conquered that people, march directly upon the
Austrian capital, and endeavor to establish the ScLA
voNIC rule upon the ruins of the Hungarian and the
Austrian. Much distrust exists in Berlin between
the King and the National Assembly and between
the people and the army.
There is most melancholy news from SICILY.
The carnage at the siege and during the lombard
ment of MEssINA was horrible The Neapolitan
loss in killed and wounded was not less than $500,
and that of the Sicans quite as great The in
reference Of the English and French naval officers
prevented much outrage that would otherwise have
occurred, and many hundreds of women and chill
dren found safety in the ships. Admirsls BAuDN
and PARKER are deserving the gratitude of the civil
lied world for putting end to warfare disgrace
full to the age.
II is rumored that four thousand French troops
have arrived at VENICE for the purpose of prevent
ing the Austrans from taking possession of that city,
in contravention OF the armstice. No less than
twenty thousand muskets, with cannon and,ammu-
milton, have been sent by CHARLES ALBERT to Ve-
nice, and he announces his intention TO protec, that
city from any attack or occupation by Austria
The DUKE OF TUSCANY has proclaimed that mat
tiers have been satisfactorily arranged between him
self and his rebeious subjects at Lcghorn, Lucca,
and Pisa.
The Carsts and Republicans are said to be en-
terlng SPAIN in great numbers through the Pyrenees,
and the Montemolinists are reported as being very
strong in Navarro but we hear SO much about these
things, and know little, that all these rumors are
unheeded and forgotten almost as soon as heard.
We ought to have mentioned, under the head Of
Italy, that the armistce between Austria and Sar-
dinia has been extended for six weeks ano,her ac.
count says for only thirty days) from the 2ls, in
slant. Surely England and France will 6nsum-
mate the work of peace within the time, whichever
il may be-
The theatrical world is resting, and preparing for
the winter campaign. JENNY LIND is doing good
