7tc Cholera in Philadelphia Of Mr.. TdgUf
--Ratircad Ao ido.ts-Markcfs, Stock Sales, &c.
Gully 10 cases OF cholera reported to-day, with
bu, three deaths IN private practice there were
death in the Hospital, and three cases and one
death IN the county prison.
A silly and unfounded report was started yester-
day that the cholera had broken out in the Eastern
PenItentiary. The inmates are, however, enjoying
better health than ls usual al this season, and not
one Of them knows that the epidemic has been
prevailing outside.
and Mechsnlcs' Bank II this city, died at German
town, this morning, at the advanced aged Of niae-
ty-four. lie held the office OF president Of that
institution tor forty years, and only resigned 1t
three years since.
An unknown man died at the Hospital, last eve
ming, from the effects OF InJunes received on the
Reading Railroad, about twelve miles from the city.
The engineer raw him and blew the whistle TO
alarm bin; but he paid no attention, and appeared
20 be eiher iniox Gated, or determined upon self
destruction in tins awful shape. The motion OF the
engine was reversed, but 1t came upon him, and he
was caught on the cow-catcher and hurled some
distance TO one side OF the track. He had received
q eoncussisn OF the brain, which ultimately caused
death.
Three horses were killed by the Baltimore Rail
road this morning, just below Gray's ferry, by the
trans from Baltimore. They belonged to Mr..
Benner, and had escaped from pasture lot be-
longing to the railroad company.
The public have been considerably alarmed for
accident TO the train that left this morning at SIR
o'clock for New York, Of which you have doubt
Ices been advised by telegraph. The train that
left your city 81 three o'clock had not reached
us at a quarter past nine o'clock, when closed
this letter. We are, therefore,, without accurate
particulars, or the names Of the Killed and
wounded.

Highly ImYortoat Dispatches from Californ,s.

htghty fmSmfonf Dtsposehss from CdIH0naa
We understand that dispatches have been re-
seived here from California, containing positive
assurance that both that country and New Mexico
will ask admission into the Union States, at the
next session of Congress OF course the request
will be complied with. The administration is pre-
pared to recommend it, and Congress dare not,
even If 30 dispoied, refuse TO admit them. Thus,
this mighty humbue cry Of the Wilmot provso and
the non-extension Of slavery will be knocked in
the head, and tho fourth and fifth rate men, who
have endesvore1 TO acquire some degree OF noto-
rlety by adopting the free so platform, will, in
consequence, snk back into that insignifcancs for
which they are 20 eminendy qualified.
The settlt ment Of this question will BIO hailed
by all right thinking men az a happy event: IL is
a subject which, acting upon the preludices OF
people not prepared TO Judge literally in the matter
has been made the convenient tool of designing
denagogues TO excite the minds OF a portion of
the citizens Of the Union against their brethren;
and however little we may be disposed TO believe.
that any thing 70 serious as a ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
the Confederscy could result from Its agitation,
we are not the lees sensible the deplorabe state
Of feeling which could permit such Issue to be
deemed possible, much less probable.
We, therefore, hal the assurance that California
and New Mexico will demand admission into the
Union next winter, as Of the highest and most
vital importance TO this country, and we have
every reason, knowing the source from whence it
has emsnsted, to believe it will prove to be strictly
correct. M.

Ssfpisr~s the Msr,ca~s with Mssssets- dm~'ea~
Cossrfesy, &c.
A correspondent 81 the Hvotd, writing from tho
city Of Mexico, uHdor date 9Th July, states that
report was prevalent that Mr. Imrbide, the Secre-
tary OF the Mexican Legation here, had arrived in
that city, :" bringing offer from the Washington
government to cell to that of Mexico the equip
nent of our (th.lD regulars, who are to be provi-
d~d for on a new and entirely different syseni."
The writer Their goce on To say, that the !" Ameri-
can courtesy wac but coldly received. Now, the
truth of the matter ir, ihst tie Mexican Minister
here for long um~ iinpsrtuned the government TO
sell MEXICO four Thousand hlnt-lock muskets--iho
Mexicsns having holy horror Of percussion caps
The ostepsibs sh,rct of procuring the muskcts
was to protect their frontier from Indian depreda-
tons; and are, by the treaty. bound to pre-
vent the lpdians IN our territory from gong hos
tileiy into Mexico, IT was perhaps somewhat TO
advantage 10 sfiord that country the means of DE-
fence. The only querton which could have arisen
In the mind of the Secretary of War, was whether
the placing 60 mnny muskets in the hands of the
Mexioens might not be dangerous--bu, the con
sideretion, it it arose al all, was promptly dis
missed The Secretary Of War agreed to sell
Mexico the regulate number OF muskets at % a
peec--a 6rst tate price-and The Mexican Minister
expressed himself highly pleased. This il all tho
Z" courtesy " the American government has shown
In the matter, and IL can be matter of little mo-
meut whether il 10 accepted or not. If the French
government, as 10 said, has offered to supply flint
locks on better terms, Mckee 10 welcome to take
them, and need not he in the least afraid that a
war with us will be tho result. Y.
