The Western papers received ast night, state that
the Cholera still prevails to some extent on the boats
on the Mississippi and Ohio rivers
Inc steamer Mary, al 81, Louis from New Oil6ana,
lost two passengers by Cholera on the trip.
The Louisville Journal s,ys that not a single case
Of Cholera had appeared in that city, and all anxiety
on the subject had subsidel.
The steamer Dove, at Louisville from New Orleans,
had six deaths by Cholera on board during the trip.
In Cincinnati on the 18th inst, there were two
deaths from the Cholera and one case brought up on
the llth ona New Orleans packet
The Cincinnati Commercial of the 18th inst. has
the following paragraph, embracing intelligence
brought by the steamer Empire
"At Baton Rouge there had been few cases OF
mild type, and three or fonr deaths were reported -
Al Natchez the alarm had almost entirely subsidized
There were run,ors a, that point Of many deaths
among the negroes on the river plantations in that
vicinity, but these rumors were doubtless exaggera
ted. Al Memphis there was said TO be no Cholera at
all and the citizens were prosecuting their wanted
business

And 10 the dry and parched soul

Mid sorrow, grief and pain,
The power word OF kindness hath,

The weakest, and the poorest, may
This simple piltance give,
And bid delight to wither'd hearts
Return again and live;

And it shall brighten all thy life,
And sweeten every death.

der the severe acquisitions of this law persons thus
charged with introducing persons of color into these
States are required TO give special bail and the ship
upon which they brought in is liable 10 forfeiture.
Accordingly, Captain Burke, of the Recovery, NJ.
Coppens, and his coored companions were all arres-
ted and held TO bail. Yesterday however, the conn
sci for these parties took rule to discharge their
rest, on the ground that the United States laws hay
ing abolished Imprisonment for debt in all States
where il was not abolished by State laws, which is
the in this State the parties could not be held
to bail The point thus raised involves some very
important questions of law, which, if determined In
favor of the position of the defendants will seriously
embarrass the enforcement of our whole system Of
revenue laws. This rule was argued yesterday be-
fore Judge McCaleb, by Messrs. Sonle, Ema, and
Mica for the defendants; and by the District Ator-
ncy Thomas J. Durant, for the United States. The
Judge took the matter under consideration.
