ADVANCE OF THE CHOLERA IN EURoPE.- The accounts from Warsaw, Poland, are O. the most distressing character The chol era has ragged there with unprecedented vio
 ence. On the 18th ult., the number attack ed was 40l, of whom 207 died, and ] ,47z eases were under treatment in the hespital Of .he city. From the first appearance o the disease about one-half of the attack, had proved fatal, but slight improvement in the returns give some hopes that its fury had abated. But however distressing these accounts are, it is far more alarming to learn that this frightful malady is advancing west ward.
 From Landsberg it seems threatening Breslau, and its progress towards Berlin is watched with deep anxiety; whilst north wards. along the whole course of the VistuIa to the Baltic, the inhabitants of the numer- ous towns and villages have been carried away in great numbers. In some villages two-thirds of the inhabitants have pershed. At Berlin the alarm is very great, and med ical men have been dispatched to the from tiers 10 use their efforts to stay the pesti- lence. As the course of this destructive disease is precisely that which marked its track in former years, the next accounts are looked for with great anxiety.

A VENERABLE Law SUIr.-The London Observer reportsthe settlement ofa law suits which was begun in the English Court of Chancery more than hundred years ago. "The original plaintiff was Thomas Beck ford, executor of one James Pope, mer- chant in Madeira, and Edward Jasper, also merchant, was the original defendant Jasper owed Pope Gl0,Q00; and Pope died in 1743, and in l74S Beckford, his exec utor, filed this bill against Jasper, who died before he could put in an answer. The suit was revived against Jasper's executors; and in I753 the case was heard before Lord Chancellor Hardwicke, and referred to the Master to take accounts. In I764 and l772, further proceeding were taken, and f630 in bank stock, and f555 were lodged to the credit of the cause, which then slept until 1851, when Mir. J. D. Wadham ob- tained administration to Pope, the original testator, and revived the bill against Jasp- CTS representatives. The funds to the ere dit of the cause had, by accumulation of dividends, bonuses, etc, amounted to E70,O00. Wadham had to take out admin istration 10 five intermediate estates, and to pay E77S for stamp duties. The case is now wound up by an order to pay the cost of all parties out of the funds in court, and to share the remainder according to the re- spective rights of the claimants.

ELLEN CRAFT, THE MACON FuGITlvE.-- The Journal and Messenger of the 25th ult., says: "We understand that the ceIe- brated Ellen Craft, the fugitive slave, be- longing to pr.

 We would respectfully suggest to Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, that the incidents in the life of Ellen Craft furnishes abundant material out of which with her viUid inaag- ination, she might elaborate romance as interesting, and as truthful as 'pncle Toms Cabin"

The following letter from distinguished German Democrat of this city, is another evidance of "the way the wind is blowing" It will blow such hurricane before the 2nd of November, as will not leave vestige of hope that the Pierce and King craft will euor reach thu haven of success:

TIE Two SExEs.-When a rakish youth goes astray, friends gather around him in order to restore him to the path of virtue. Gentleness and kindness are lavished on him to wifi him back again to innocence and peace. No one would suspect that he had ever sinned. But when a poor confiding girl is betrayed she receives the brand of society, and is henceforth driven from the way of virtue. The betrayer is honored, respected, and esteemed, but his ruined, heart broken victim knows there is no peace for her this side of the grave. Society has no helping hand for her, no smile of peace, no voice of forgiveness. These are earthly moral,ies unknown to heaven. There is indeed wrong in them and fearful are the consequences.

EDITORIAL LrrE.-The following re- marks of Dr. Johnson, give an answer to many complaints of the present day;
 Dr. Johnson says: "I know no classes ol the community from whom so much disin- terested benevolence aud thankless labor are expected as from editors of newspapers They are expected to feel for every one but themselves, to correct public abuses, and pri- vate ones also, without giving offence-to sustain the difficulties of others, without re- gard to their own-to condemn improper measures of every one and no one at the same time. They are expected 10 note ev- cry thing that is important or extraordinary of mems opinions, their notices must be cal culated to please every one, and at the same time offend no one."

 Each customer found, therefore on set ting the bill, that he had dime 10 pay for shaving, and dime to pay, also, for drink ing.
