According to the latest accounts from Norfolk,
the number of deaths for twenty -four hours, end

three hundred cases. In Portsmouth, during the

from the remark being true, slavery has been
most absolutely ,tyranicaly and unconstitutonally
ruled and interfered with and the South most
shamefully imposed upon. Want of space
compels us abruptly to close.

The Lost Tribes or Israel.

Mr.. Kennedy communicated the following to
the British Association for the Advancement Of
Science, the results of his researches into the
lost tribes Of Israel:
That the number Of those taken away in the
different captivities had been much over estimated,
only the principal people having been made cap
tive as hostages, with the men of war, and
others most available as slaves that the main
body OF the ten tribes were not taken away by
the Assyrlans, but were left in their ancient pos
sessions, when they became again partially sub
jected to the kings of Judah that the tribes that
can be supposed to have been really removed
were the Reubenites, the Gadites, with the half
tribe of Manassah, and that of Naphthali, who,
being placed on the east of Jordan and on the
north, were most exposed to the attacks of the
enemy ; that the greatest part of those who had
been taken away to Babylon, or their descendents
and the descendants of those taken away by
the Assyrians, returned to their ancient land !;
that, while in Babylonia, Assyria, and other coun-
tries OF their conquerers, they could not be sup
posed to have lived apart by their tribes SO that
in the space of two hundred years and upwards
those taken away must have lost almost every
distinction of tribes, and thus have become pre-
pared to form part of that restored nation which
took the name Jews from the principal tribe
amongst them that the tribe Of Judah having
Deen the inOst numerous, anu LNeH city OF Jeru-
salem the centre around which the Israelites
congregated, it follows as a natural cense-
quence, that their name would become the
prevailing one that the amalgamaton of
union into - one people of all the lsraelites
was in accordance with the predictions o f
the Prophets; that the remnant Of the Is
raeltes left in Babylonia and Assyria, though
smaller in number than that portion which was
restored TO their ancient possessions, might yet
have increased to an immense multitude, in the
six hundred years which elapsed between the
first restoration and the time of Josephus but
that the remnant left beyond the Euphrates can
not properly be considered to have been the
representatives Of the tribes, much less the
entire body of the ten tribes that in the time of
Josephus, all distinctions of the other tribes
having become lost, except those Of Judah and
Benjamin, he enormously supposed they were
the only tribes that had returned, and that the
other ten tribes still remained beyond the Eu-
pirates that, in any case, the dream of Esdras
respecting the ten tribes having taken council
among themselves, and gone into further coun-
try, where never mankind dwelt, was a mere
dream vision, it in reality Processes to have
been

The YELLOW FEvER.-In the same gallant
spirit which prompted the noble resolutions of the
Northampton people, has Virginia 5 son, Henry
A. Wise, simultaneously and with the like COM
mon consent, gifted up his dwelling house, barns
and every other place of shelter, and cordially in
vited the afflicted communities to come there,
assuring them that they should be welcome -
Other gentlemen Of that ne:ghborhood have fol-
lowed his example, and their kind offers have
doubtless been accepted by many. A large COM
pany of the refugees are in Mathews county, and

"When it became known on the Eastern Shore
of Virginia that the residents Of Norfolk and
Portsmouth were flying from their homes, and
that other sections of country were driving them
away, the 'sea-girt peninsula greeted those who
came to her shores with hearty welcome Car
riages, wagons, carts, and vehicles of all kinds,
were ready at the landing whenever the steamer
arrived from Norfolk to convey the refugees to
hospitable homes. Tell them, said Wise, sto
come on, that we have open hearts and houses to
receive them.o

The Murderer OF Helen Jevett.

We have good reasons for believing that the
report of the death of Richard p. Robinson, who
was tried for the murder Of Helen Jewett is un-
true II was reported that he died at the Gait
House in Louisville, but gentlemen who left that
place since his reported death occurred, say that
no such person had died there, and that Robin
son, who now goes by the name Of Parmee-not
Parmly, as the report states had been in Louis
vile and left there for the East. Parmlee is
resident OF Texas, where he is married and has
family, and is man of influence among his
neighbors, and large mail contractor. This is
not the first time that reports Of his death have
caused the publication Of letter from Mr.
Wilson, who, according to his statement, might
have destroyed the testimony Of the witness upon
whose statements Robinson was acquitted.

A sensation" marriage took place at Trinity
Church, Boston, on Monday, at III a. m. The
parties were Mr.. George Vanderhotf, comedian,
of England, and Miss Mary e. Makeah, actress.
The ceremonies were performed by Rev. John
Cotton Smith, Assistant Rector, according TO the
rites Of the Episcopal Church. Mr. Vanderbilt
arrived from England on Friday last. Miss Ma
keah is native of Savannah At the early age
of two years she was left an orphan when, her
interesting condition becoming known to Mrs
Luce, the mother Of Captain Luce of the Inflated
Arctic,) that lady obtained permission to bring
her North, and placed her in the charge Of VIII
liam Bates and lady, Of Boston, who at once
adopted her their own child they being with
out family. Mrs Bates had the honor of christ
ening her Mary Elizabeth Mathew Bates, under
which name she was educated by Mr.. b., and at
the town schools, receiving her final instructions
at the Mount Holyoke Female Academy, at South
Hadley. Her Greek and Latin studies were SUI
perntended by Mr.. Bates himself, who is mas
ter in those languages. At early age Miss
Bates was united in marriage with Mr.. Hanson
H. Thomas, merchant tailor of New York city;
but an incompatibility of tastes led to separa-
ton, and final divorce in Rhode Island. She
at once assumed her family name of Makeah, and,
always possessing strong love for dramatic en-
tertanments, commenced the laborious prepare
ton for appearance as public actress upon the
boards, to secure her independent maintenance.
She was eminently successful, and in October
last, at the Metropolitan Theatre, in New York,
made brilliant debut.

From the Washington Union.
HEALTH OF THE PRESIDENT.

letter has been received by the Secretary Of
State from the Presidents private secretary,
stating that the President had, at the Warm
Springs in Virginia, on Saturday last, an attack
of chill and fever-smar to that he experienced
last autumn at the Executive Manson-the pre-
monitory symptoms of which he had felt for some
days before leaving this city. The attack was
not severe, and the President was expecting to
proceed to the White Sulphur Springs on the
following Monday.
1t is to be regretted that the President did not
feel that his official duties left him at liberty to
follow the earnest advice of his family physicians
to leave the city some days since, on the early
inception of his illness. We hope, however, that
he will not think of leaving the pure mountain
air he is now enjoying, for Washington, till the
season Of our fall fevers has passed away.
