nounced that all the supplies requisite
for the equipment Of a second expedi-
ton against Acheen had been furnished.
He added that no negotiations with the
Sultan of Acheen we're pending, as had
been reported in the public prints, but
it was not improbable that they might be
opened through the intermediary Off
ces of friendly Rajah. The Govern
ment OF Holland was willing to conclude
considerate peace, but the reported
condition of the settlement was wholly
inadmissable.

Times from Madrid says there is great
alarm in that city in consequence of the

tbs St. Louis physicians deny that
genuine cholera has appeared in that
city. Four railroad hands died Of chol-
era six miles below Cairo night before
last. One fatal case occurred in Little
Rock yesterday, ten in Cincinnati, and
six in Nashville, and six out of nineteen
in Memphis. This indicates an abate-
ment of the disease here and in all d.
rections. 1t has been most fatal at
Nashville, where fully seven hundred
and fifty deaths took place in the month
of June-a greater mortality than re.
ported any month in 1866.

not be repeated or permitted this year.
They are a disgrace to any civilization.

THE defense of young Walworth was
two-fold first, that he was insane; sec
ond that he acted in selfdefense. This
reminds Us Of the amateur huutsman
who fred al and missed what he took to
be deer in tie bush. On approaching
the spot the animal proved to be an in
nocent calf aud uuhurt. The hero with
the gun said he aimed to kill il it was a
deer, and to miss if it was q calf So
Frank Walworth was insane unless he
could make out a good case of self
defense. His honor Judge Davis charged
that the jury should not regard the
fears which the prisoner entertained for
the life Of his mother, as they could
not be regarded as any justification Of
his crime. They should only regard
those fears which we're personal. The
law did not make it a justification
when the killing was done through fear
that the life of another was in danger
They could, however, consider whether
fear that his mothers life was in dan
ger did not give point to the fear
which he entertained for bis own life on
the meeting on the morning Of the Sd. "
The charge occupied over three hours.
At s:25 last evening the jury returned
verdic; Of murder in the second degree.
Sentence will be passed Saturday morn
ing. The trial has occupied several
days, but not so much time as was ex-
pected. The letters published as testi-
mony which Walworth. deceased. wrote
TO his wife, seemed like the rawlings Of q
mailman or the morbid fancies Of an
opium eater He must have been an
object OF dread and detestation to his
family, but they should have had him
sent to lunatie asylum, as could have
been done on these letters.

In addition to these a considerable
number of negroes died in the suburbs
and were buried in vacant lands near
the city, by parties of their own color
without applying to cur regular under
takers. We have heard of ffty-three
being buried in one place, not more than
fourth or a third procured collins from
the undertakers. The cases thus occur
ring of which no account is had, added
to those who died previous to the 7th of
June, it is thought will bring the num-
Der fully up to $50, thus showing that
the mortality of this year has been fully
equal in number to that Of 1866, while the
death rate according to population has
been considerably larger. We may call
this pestilenee by whatever name may
suit the fancy, but the record shows that
it has been more virulent than that
which scourged our city so terribly in
1866. Thus we find that from the 18th to
the Both Of September in that year, both
days inclusive, the number who died
from cholera was $50 This year dur
ing the corresponding days in June,
there were 63l deaths from cholera, of
which the undertakers have a record,
and then we know of from thirty to
thirty-fve negroes buried at one place
who are not included in any under
takers count This clearly shows a
greater mortality this year. 1t is also
probable that a greater number we're at
tackled this year who recovered than in
1866. We have heard this suggested by
persons in whose judgment we have a
good deal of confidence. This disease
has followed the old cholera track in its
former visits to this city, and its greatest
mortality has been in the belt in which
the largest mortality resulted from pre-
Yious visits, showing conclusively that
there must be something local which in
vites the pestilence TO revel in the lower
portions Of the city, where the water is
unquestionably bad and the sewer
age Of such inferior character as
scarcely to deserve the name. These
facts establish the other fact that we
have had cholera here in its worst form

Of Asiatic extraction The scourge has
been a terrible one, and the lesson il has /
