NoBILE, Thursday, Aug. 2, 1870.
The steamer Trent, Capt. Clark. at the Point, in
three days from Havana, brings but one passenger
to Mobile and rs for Mexico, and has freight large
quantities Of quicksilver
1t appears that the schooner that took Francisco
Rey alias Garcia from New Orleans touched at Havana
the Oath ult and transferred Senior Rey to the
American brig Andrew Rng,at quarantine, the rsgus-
on not allowing to land without performing eight
days quarantine Immediately hearing Of Rey
ported abduction, Gen. Campbell the American Con-
sui went alongside Of the brig and offered his services
and protection to take the brig outside Of the harbor
and put Rsy board OF the packet about to sail for
New Orleans; but Senior Rey declined the Consus SER
vices saying that he there by his own free will 50
the Consul dropped the matter.
Captain Clark heard from different persons while on
quarantine, that Havana was unusually sickly. The
black vomit is making sad havoc among the citizens
Quarantine regulations still enforced, but are
expected to be soon repealed

TELEGRAPHIC INTELLIGENCE.
Sum m airy.

We give below the latest intelligence receiv ed,
by telegraph of the elections IN the States Of Ken
lucky, North Carolina, and Indiana. We have to
regret that our dispatches came to us in so crude
a shape that they give but slight index Of any
changes that may have taken place IN their seyc.
raj localities.
The returns from North Carolina give wings
and democrats as certain TO Congress, leaving
one district the Sth, to hear from, which is closely
contested between Stanley (whig) and Lane (dsm }
Should Lane be elected, it will be a democratic
gain of one member This would indicate a pro-
babe democratic gain, as the last delegation stood
wings to 3 democrats. Below will be found
table, giving comparative view between the last
representation and the present.
We give several other interesting dispatches,
furnishing the latest intelligence from Havana
Canada, and Texas, which will be read with IN
terest.

FAsBIoNABLE DocroRs.-lt is said that there are
fifteen hundred physicians in this metropolis. Pro-
badly about forty Of them make handsome in
come-a hundred or so contrve to make both ends
meet on the thirty.frst of ID ecember-and as for
the rest mortal sagacity cannot discover how they
get through the year. Yet we have vast popula-
ton, all sorts Of diseases, and great many sick
people. The cholera times, too, afforded an oppor-
tunity to many to get into business We perceive,
no Sever, that some Of our fashionable doctors,
even In the midst Of these distressing times, are
very busy at Saratoga and elsewherc,-some of
them engaged in horse-racing and other Intellectual
employments, instead Of attending to their own
professional pursuits. Such doctors must have
but few patients to attend at home, or else they
could not afford to spend go much time at Saratoga
But 1t is very curious to observe the attempts
which are made to getnto a fashionable medical
practice in this city. A common trick is to set up
carriage and horses, and drive furiousy round
townEll day, as If the doctor were desperately be-
sieged and pestered with calls. Graphic descrip-
tons Of these conirivances to get practice would
furnish material for half dozen capital farces at
Burton's and the other small theatres.
