A letter from that city, dated November. 22d
TO the Tribune, says:
~ regret that am now to record the com-
mencement OF the ravogcs Of the Asiotie
Cholera IN he most malignant form. At the
Charity Hospitol, = esterdsy and the day before
there were 81 admissions Of persons Of vsri-
ous diseases, which is . very large sumber for
this season Of the year. or the admissions
Of yesterday many were OF cho.ers. Asto the

following list Of deaths, with full particulars Of

era You will notice that all the cases ter
minated In death IN less than tweits hours.
/ do not pretend 10 give you a correct sc-
count Of all who died in the hospital yester-
day, as the list was not completed when tnis
statement was taken from the books. ] will
give you further particulars of the progress
Of the disease tomorrow, and hope II may
be favorable. As yet none Of our papers
have announced the existence OF the dis
ease; but tie Mayor has called q injecting Of
the Board of Health for tomorrow to submit
the facts OF the existence Of cholera, and for
them to take such action IN making II public
ss they may deem expedient' meeting
was called for this morning but there was no
quorum of the Board present. In addition to
the deaths reported in the hospital. there were
also q number in private practice. One ply
sician lost three cases. DR.. Bensddon lost
one, young man, who had been here only
two days from New Bedford. He died In six
hours. DIR. Arson had tHo cases, both OF
which proved fatal under 90 hours. Al the
New Bss.n there were three deaths. The
total deaths Of cholera during the day in the
hospital and private practice, ss neal. az can
be asce'taincd, istwenty.six.
ErThe latest letters from New Orleans
give fattering accounts Of the abatement or
the cholera, and all seem to think that few
cold days will serve to stop the epidemic en-
tirely. Very few deaths are reported. either
by the Board Of Health, or in Medical prac-
tice.

Mrs. Margaret Douglass was tried at

Violating a law Of Virginia, by teaching

pears that Mrs d. and her daughter kept a
school in Norfolk, and when arrested had
eighteen or twenty colored children under

the offence, but the daughther. it is said, sub
aequently fled to New York. 1t having been
understood that Mrs, d. intended to act as
her own counsel a: the trial,a large concourse
of persons assembled in the court room to
witness the novel spectacle. The Norfolk
News says:
AS she entered the court room and took

encroach upon the prerogatives hitherto re-

melodious voice, to the consideration of the
charges Sc. forth in the indictment.
The surprise of the whole legal fraternit,
was 50 great at this sudden revolution in tn
Time honored practice of the courts, that sh
had progressed considerably into the merit
or the case before his. honor recovered him
self sufficiently to inform her that it woul
be more regular to suspend her remarks unit
after the examination Of witnesses was con

proposition of his honor. and the witnesse

tTA horse thief recently stole famous
blood mare named Jenny Lind, at Maysville,
XIV. The owners offered reward of 81 .0itu
for her recapture aud the officers traced the
runaway to HilSdale. Michigan, where the
thief was surprised by the constable aud
sheriff, while feeding the mare. The officers
sprang to seize the animal, but the thief was
too quick, and got upon her back just as the
constables seized the rein. The hprse-thiei
then pulled out two revovers and shot the
constable in the shoulder, and presenting his
revolver at the sheriff was off as fast as the
blood mare could take him. The shooting o
! the constable aroused the whole neighbor'
hood in the pursuit, and the thief was proba'
bly, taken.
