GOVERNOR FLOYD, OF VIRoINIA.-This amia-
BILE and distinguished statesman and gentleman,
who has been sojourning in our city for few
days past, took his departure for Richmond
this morning. His term of service as the Gov
ernor Of that noble commonwealth is soon to
expire, and he, it may be, viii retire to the
walks Of private life. But whether in private
or in public life, he will ever possess the es-
TEEN, the respect, the confidence, and the af-
fections Of his fellow-citizens. Firm and in
flexible in the republican principles he has
always professed, he is still courteous, concila-
tory and tolerant toward his opponents; and
although depending alone upon the Democratic
party in Virginia for support, the Wings Of the
State have universally acknowledged his fair
ness, impartiality and justice. Happy we're it
for our country if such men could be initiated
by all her statesmen-if their influence could
pervade each Of our great political parties.
I6- The charges against the Rev. Theobald
Mathew, it viii be remembered, are embraced
in eight specifications. OF these, the last three
relate to subscription gotten up at the in
stance Of Mr.. Clay to raise $50, 900 to pay the
such indebtedness eristed. We are convinced, by
Information furnished US, that the letter in
which this declaration was believed to have
been made has been msinterpreted, and that
he had made no such admission. Thus falls to
the ground very material part Of the alleged
facts. AS soon as we can procure from any
source full information upon the subject, we
shall review it in full. AS is well known to our
readers, there are two things to neither Of
which will we ever submit: the first, to en-
oouraging the practice Of an imposture; the
second, the persecution Of an innocent man.
LOTTERY VEsDERs.-Seven persons accused OF
being engaged in this business in Washington
were yesterday arrested and brought before
Justice Dom, two warrants having been issued
against each They were put under thousand
dollars bail each to appear before Justice d. at
III o'clock on Thursday next for further exami-
nation. The penalty, we are informed is fine
OF from 800 to 81 900 in each case, and inn
prisonment Of from one to six montba G. L.

AFFLICTING MORTALITY In FAMILY The
Cincinnati Gazette of the 18th says: "Mr. and
Mrs John B. Williamson, with their five chill
dren, started for the North from Vicksburg,
Miss, in the latter part of October, on the
steamer California, and had a pleasant passage
to the mouth of the Ohio Below Smithland
their boat got aground, and they accordingly
took passage for Louisville on the Asia, Gin
cinnati and st. Louis packet, which happened
to come up soon after. The boat was very
crowded and dirty. The night they reached
Louisville their infant child, Sidney Miller, was
taken sick, and the next night he died at the Gait
House where the family put up The attending
physician pronounced the disease cholera infan-
tum. The next day, 7th of November, the family
started for Cincinnati, and on their way two of
the other children were taken sick. When
they arrived at the Walnut Street House, in
this city, Cecilia, aged seven years, was danger
ously i'll. She died on Sunday morning, the 9th
instant, of what was pronounced malignant
scarlet fever. In the meantime the two remain
ing daughters, Florence and Margaret, were
taken down with the same disease, and not
outstanding every thing was done for them
which medical skill, parental affection, and the
Kindness of friends could suggest, they too
died. The oldest son, John Robert, escaped
the fate of the others, by proceeding to New
York with his uncle, direct from Louisville,
with the corpse Of the little boy.

rial of tn. undersigned, respectfully represents that

therefore respectfully ask that the act aforesaid
may be 30 n,oJidsd a. to make the warrants for
