The cholera had decreased in many localities, dis
appeared from others, and in some few was as
violent as ever The Journal says: The disease
has entirely disappeared from the town of Fal
mouth. the medical gentlemen having on Saturday
last presented the Local Board with a clear ball
Of health. The accounts from the rural districts
of the parish are also favorable.
The New Grenadan schooner Florida, which
arrived Yesterday from Greytown, picked up on
her passage from this to that port the crew OF the
American brig Union, bound from Chagres to
New Orleans, which was wrecked on her passage
between those ports, snd took them TO Greytown,
where they were landed.
At the election in st. David's, serious riot
occurred, resulting in loss of life. The two can
di0ates Messrs. POrteus and Nunes, were about
equally supported, and the competition between
their friends was very spirited A shower OF rain
coming on, the voters attempted TO enter the
Court House, but were prevented by the police,
upon which they threw stones, breaking the win
dows Of the building. At three O'Clock, the votes
FOR each candidate were even. whereupon MIR.
BENJAMIN, who had previously refused to vote,
was induced to leave his house for the purpose OF
turning the scale in favor OF Mr. Porteus. The
friends of Mr. Nunes attempted to prevent this,
and were in turn met by the police. general
fight ensued In the course OF which Mr. Mel can,
the coroner of the parish, was killed, and eight
or ten of the politicians very seriously injured.

Case of Kidnapping.

Some time in the month of July or August asst
the American schooner Jupiter, Capt. Snow, ar
rived at the Island of Dominique, lone OF the
group of the Marquesas islands, and remained
there for several weeks. While at the Island OF
Dominique, the captain and mate induced i've
females one of whom was the queen OF the bay,
and only fourteen years Of age, and the others the
dtuebters Of chiefs, to go on board the schooner,
by some false pretense, and soon after they were
on board got under way, and forcibly, and against
the will Of the females, brought them to this port
During the voyage the females were treated with
great cruelty, and, after their arrival here, they
were treated still worse, so much so, that all OF
them Jumped overheard, and endesvored to escape
to the shore. Having been saved from drowning,
they were again taken on board, and, soon after,
the schooner sailed for Stockton, still retaining
the females on board.
The captves were afterward taken TO San
Francisco, by Col Hays, and upon being taken
before the Justices Of the Supreme Court, were
ordered to go free. Capt. Snow and his mate,
Coleman, were also arrested and after an exami-
nation, committed for trial. forfalse imprisonment
of the women on board his vessel, in the Bay.
