Sir MoRroy PETo, on his return 10 England,
made II speech III Bristol, i'll which he gave
some interesting facts elected by his personal
observations Of American affairs. He states
that within the last ten years twenty-five
millions one hundred and forty five thousand
additional acres of ground have been brought
into cultivation in the Western States; on the
average, two hundred and forty million
bushels of wheat were grown, and the popu-
lation OF the eight Western States had adj
yanced three million four hundred and fifty
thousand More than three millions of the po-
pulation of the Western States are employed III
the cultivation Of land. Some idea OF the
railways III this country is given by the fact
that on the termination of the war, there
were actually connected with the supply OF
the armies to thousand five hundred miles
of railway, three hundred and eighty-seVen
engines six thousand cars, and seventy thou
sand employees. Referring to the army ST
MoErox said that General GRANT told him in
ST. Louis that he had mustered out eight nun
bred and seventy five thousand men, ana II
the sentiment OF the South warranted IL, the
army would be reduced to thirty thousand.
The address was intended TO cultivate friendly
sentiments in England towards America anu
coming from practical, business man. VINO

likely TO produce favorable impression on
that large and influential class OF the British
nation which holds the money strings Of the
Government.
We could wish that some large minded,
common sense American might make tour in
Great Britain similar to that of Sir MORTON
PgTo In America, and give the American pub.

The straits 10 which merchants have been
driven ~ high rents are, no doubt, truly lie

With 4 fraukncSs that is creditable, the re-
solutions confess that the merchants are pr

awakened from the delusion into which they
had fallen under the influence OF m inflated
currency, they now appeal TO the landlords 10

Cholera at Chicago.

OhhSAuO, DcpbeinDcf y.
Eleven cases of cholera, Including 81,
deaths, were reported at the health office il
this city during the last twenty-four hours
ending at five o'clock to-day.
A remarkable fatality has attended a fam
lily residing in Goodwin. Six. in all, have
died, and the seventh is thought past re.
covery.
The house in which they lived was new
clean and pleasantly located, with drv
airy brick basement. IL was occupied by
two families, consisting of nine persons
including two old ladies, mothers Of til,
gentlemen occupying the house. Within
forty-eight hours all but the old ladies
have died, or are past recovery.
An inquest was held to-day on the body
of the notorious George Trussell who wa,
shot last night by his mistress, Mollie
Toussell, and verdict was rendered In ac.
cordance with the facts.
The woman is in iail, and is terribly
agonized over the crime she committed
while frcnzied with liquor.
Trussell was from Danville, Vermont, OF
respectable parents, and is supposed TO be
worth 100000. He was half owner of the
celebrated trotting horse Dexter"
The total number of deaths in this city
for the month of August reached nine
hundred and forty, of which one hundred
and forty were from cholera.
