.Hcdica! ."Mallei. The Choleka in London. The London correspondent of the National InttlLgeucer, under date of December 16, writes as follow: Ad alarming piece of 'news is, that the cholera is undoubtedly in London, and has broken out with extreme virulence in Golden Lane, and other densely populated parts of the city. The police keep watch and ward there to inderdict communication. Tne symptom of the disease are of a very alarminjj nature, exhibiting- itself in plague spots, and other tearful characteristic. This is truly a melancholy close to my communication. 1 hope the matter is made the worst of, but I have my fears. The extent and severity of the ravages of the influenza" in Great Eritaia are very extraordinary, and almost alarmin;. In one day ISO of the people in the London Post Office were unable tu do duty with the disease; and 1,200 of Die police were on the sicklist at once. No rank or condition in life hat escaped; and the operations of business have been seriously embarrassed, and in some place entirely suspended. The rate of mortality has been terribly increased all over the country. A similar visitation, though not quite so geueril or virulent, seems to have befallen the entire north of Europe. A disease of the same kind, though of course greatly mitigated in character severe cojd, with fever aud general piostration is not uncommon here just new. In 1343 the whole country suffered more or less with an influenza, known as the "Tyler Grippe." It is epidemic, not routa groin. A London letter of the 3d ult., to the N. Y. Courier, says "I cannot but think that it (the Influenza) is to be regarded as either the substitute for, or the precursor of Cholera. In 1832 the Cholera was preceded by such an epidemic influence as now prevails; the only difference being, that the present epidemic is accompanied with somewhat more intense symptoms than the previous one. The debility, or rather other physical prostration, accompanying and succeeding I he present Influenza, are almost unprecedented. The Lord Chancellor is in a state of exhaustion so profound that hi life is almost despaired of, yet his only disease has been the Influenza; and many deaths from that disease have actually occurred. I have been inclined to believe that the Cholera was at present likely to visit Great Britain, aud such probabilities as had existed previous to the dale of my last letter, seemed then to be materially diminished; but they are now (according to the most recent advices from the Continent) again materially augmented." On opening the body of the great English surgeon, Liston, it was found that the cause of his death was an aneurism of the aorta, of the size of an orange, pressing upon, and running into, the trachea. The first alarming symptom manifested itself suddenly, and while Le was apparently in good health. Sitting in his room receiving his patients, he felt his mouth all at once fill with fluid, and, retiring to his dressing

room, he coughed up between 30 and 40 ounces of arterial blood, lie had immediately the best medical aid in London ; and an examination of the chest was made by Drs. Forbes (physician to the Queen) and Watson. He suggested an aneurism ; but the two distinguished men in attendance, finding nothing in his lungs or circulation to excite such an apprehen sion, took a different and more favorable view of his case. The fatal result proved him right ; and that even in his own case, the science of the first of European surgeons was as unerring and unapproachable as ever. One cannot but regret that it was not permitted to prolong a life so valuable to his profession and his kind A Healthy Town. The Waterbury (Ct.) Ame rican states the mortality in that town tor Is46 at 40 persons, and for 1S47 at 41 perBons. This is less than one per cent. The population is about 5000. In New York and London the average annual mortality is about 3i per cent. The average increase of the entire population of the United States is about 3l per cent, per annum. Cvriocs Case. A child about four years and a half old, son of Mr. J. II. Sweet, of South Reading, jMass., accidentally swallowed a copper cent some two months since. Several physicians were called! in; and he was made to vomit at intervals for twenty-four hours after the accident. Subsequently he re mained pretty well with the exception of a difficulty of swallowing. Mr. Sweet, suspecting that the cent was still lodged in the throat, took the child last Thursday to Dr. Wyman of Cambridge, who passed a probing instrument down the little sufferer's throat, and distinctly felt the cent. The doctor then made a ort of double hook of common covered bonnet wire, which he passed into the throat, and on the first trial succeeded in hooking up the cent, which was lodged in the esophagus, standing edgeways ! The child is now as well as ever. Bathing the Etes. Dr. Batchelder, of New York, says opening the eyes wide and washing the balls in cold water is very bad for. them ; but two editors of the Commercial Advertiser certify that it is an excellent practice. Eagles and hawks have" splendid" eyes, did any body ever see them wash them in cold water 1 Pickerel are very sharpsighted, and are constantly in the habit of opening their eyes in cold fresh water; and the shark, whose vision is almost as .good as his scent, exposes his naked eyes continually to salt water. Fish-hawks, it is true, dive indiscriminately in fresh and salt 'water, but not for the exclusive purpose of bathing their eyes. Boston Post. Extraordinary Feccnditt. The following facts . . int- a are communicated to us, says the Brooklyn Star, by a gentleman of unquestioned veracity: Francis Kenny, , now residing, at the corner of Bridge and Johnson ; sireeu. , in i aim riiy, marrieu nis wiie iuary, wnen sue ; was 14 and he 16 years of age. When she was 15 she had her first child ; at 17 she had two additional children; at IS three more; at 20 she had four; at! 21 she had three, and at 22 years she had two, which are now a few weeks old making 15 children in 8 years. These extraordinary facts will probably arrest the attention of the faculty. India Rubber Felt tor Ruilwats. Felt has been spoken of in our columns us being used in England on Railways. India Rubber is now manufactured here, (with a large mixture of metallic substance, rendering it impervious to heat and cold, and of ill thicknesses from a sixteenth to a quarter of an inch,) for the purpose of being placed under the bearings of the rails, and at the junction of the rails on what is called the junction plates; by which it is supposed much of the jar, and consequent noise and wear of machinery, will be avoided. A specimen of this composition is now before us. It is extremely tough, though very elastic, and on being applied to a revolving grindstone, is said to suffer less abrasion in a given time, than steel. We understand it will be used on several Railroads where the track is to be laid the ensuing Spring. Ar. Y. Jour, of Com. Singula attempt at Scicide. A good deal of surprise was experienced yesterdny morning at a report that Mr. John Thornton, and citizen of this city, had attempted to commit suicide. Mr. Thornton was the victim of an immoderate love of money. He came to St. Louis many years since, and commenced business in very small way as keeper of a grocery. By unusual thrift, and reducing his expenditures to a very small sum, he amassed a large amount of money, and is supposed, at the time of this occurrence to have been worth at least a hundred thousand dollars a great portion of it invested in bond and mortgage. For years past, money has been the god of his idolatry, and took entire possession of him. Latterly he seemed to be impressed with a belief that he waa about to lose all that he poeed, and to become a beggar, and this fear so wrought upon him that it alienated his reason and led to the attempt to destroy his own life. 67. Louis Rep., Jan. 14. The Loss. According to a table from the Adjutant General's Officeyour loss in killed, in all the battles in Mexico, has been thus far 1,177, and our wounded 3.679. The Mexicans killed have been 12,866, and the wounded 13,600. (KrThe railroads completed in the United States, and in use, amount to 5.790 miles, at a first cost of of $122,525,937. All this has been effected in seventeen years. About $15,i;00,OOO per annum is now expended in railroad construction. Or-TIie celebrated Pea Patch, an Island in the Delaware river, has, after years of litigation, been awarded by John Sargeant, the arbitrator, to the United States. The State of Delaware heretofore claimed it. OrThe population of Boston is now estimated at one hundred and thirty thousand.

Who Commenced the War ! The following extract from the reply of Mr. Slidell to the Mexican Minister, after llerrira . administration had been overthrown by Paretics; and overthrown, too, on the ground that ilerrera had not prosecuted the war on account of Texas, but had been guilty of the insufferable atrocity of entertaining the proposition to negotiated 'The Mexican government cannot shift the respon

sibility of war upon the United States, by assuming that they are the aggressors. A plain, unanswerable fact responds to all the subtleties and sophistries by which it is attempted to obscure the real question ; that fact is, the presence in Mexico of a minister of the United States, clothed with full power to settle all the questions in dispute between the two nations, and among them that of Texas. Surely it cannot be necessary to remind your excellency that the menaces of war have all proceeded from Mexico ; and it would seem that the elevation to power of its actual government was too receut to have afforded your ex cellency time to forget the ostensible reasons for which that which preceded it was overthrown. 1 he crime imputed- to the then President a crime so odious as to justify his forcible expulsion from the Presidency, to which he had been but a few months previous. elected with unparalleled unanimity, and in accordance with all the forms of the constitution was that of not having prosecuted the war against Texas, or, in other words, against the United States a crime, of which the enormity was aggravated in a ten-fold degree, by his having accepted the proposal of the United States to negotiate. To suppose that the present government has not always intended, and does not Mill intend, vigorously to prosecute an offensive war against the United States, would be to insinuate the degrading charge of making declarations which it did not design to fulfil, with the unworthy motive of supplanting a rival." It is worthy of remark that Ilerrera has stated the same fact lately to the government of Mexico. Tue Mexican minister, Mr. Castillo y Lanza, wrote to Mr. Slidell, on the 12ih of March, 1846, the following: "Civilized nations have looked with amazement at this enlightened and refined epoch, a powerful and well consolidated state availing itself of the internal dissensions of a neighboring state, putting its vigilance to sleep by protestations of friendship, setting in action all manner of springs and artifices, alternately plying intrigue and violence, and seizing a moment to dispossess ber of a precious part of her territory, regardless of the most unquestionable ownership and Vie most uninterrupted possession." The most uninterrupted possession ! The territory referred to is Texas, not the strip of territory between the Nueces and the Rio Grande; for General Taylor had only the day before the date of this communication moved from Corpus Christi. Lou. Dem. The Eloquence of Action. The Hamburgh (S. C.) Republican thus . describes an interesting scene which occurred in that place during the brief stay of Gen. Shields while on his way to Washington : We rejoice that we are enabled to relate one good thing that occurred w hile Gen. Shields was in our place. A good, honest, laboring son of the Green Isle had been standing round waiting for an introduction to his countryman, the General. Our committee, however, being men of exalted minds, at least about that time, did not see the honest Hibernian, who was too modest to ask for an- introduction, but followed the crowd to the railroad depot, where some of our citizens had prepared a canuon to. give a loud farewell to Gen. Shields. On arriving at a point near the door of the car, Gen. Shields halted and seemed for a moment to be in solemn thought, as if the roaring cannon reminded him. of other scenes. Our honest Irish friend during the time had kept near his person as if spell-bound, until about the time the General was iu the act of taking his final leave. Poor Pat could stand it no longer; he rushed forward to the general, caught him by the hand, exclaiming, " Hov are you, my countryman ! I am prouder of you than you are of yourself!" Gen. Shields, with a manner that showed his heart was in the act, taking off his cap, caught the hand of the poor laborer and gave him such a sliake as none but a noble heart in an Irishman's breast could give, exclaiming at the 6ame time, " How do you do, ray worthy counj tryman 1 I am indeed glad to meet you ! thank you, thank you. " rat stepping back and standing some inches above his usual height, exclaimed: "And faith, you are the boy under whom I would like to fight!" The whole scene was one of deep interest, and plainly illustrated the eloquence of action. Gen. Quitman. It is right to give publicity to an incident in the storming of the city of Mexico, which illustrates the bravery and patriotic enthusiasm of this officer, but which his modesty had suppressed from the knowledge of the country. The following an extract of a letter from the gallant leader of the mounted rifle regiment, (Major Loring,) who fell at the head of his regiment on the eve of entering the city of Mexico, by a wound which deprived him of one of his arms. The extract is an eloquent tribute from a gallant soldier to the bravery of his distinguished commander. The letter was addressed to a friend in private correspondence : "Gen. Quitman was at the head of my regiment at the time I was shot. We were the nearest American soldiers to the city of Mexico aud their army at the time I was wounded. After I fell, he armtd himself with one of my rifles, joined the rifles in their vnoitT u wii mc uoi na UC UC1CII, 11ICU hid iaoi cat II luge, theublied hi, handkerchief to its muzzle, a id waved hisgaIant soidier, over the breast-work-being the grst l0 mouni arnid the terrible carnage that followed. .mi wmlun ,OM- ,iierfl are few ist.nceH in historv where one so high in rank and advanced in life has thus had, and availed himself of, the brilliant opportunity of wreathing around his brow so distinct a title to the honor of being regarded "bravest of the brave.' " Col. Harnet. The Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says : The fierce Col. Harney, of the dragoons, the chevalier of our army, is also in Washington, the observed of all observers. An incident that occurred at Fuller's Hotel the other evening, may not bo uninteresting. Col. Harney is full "six feet four and elegantly proprotioned." Major Iturbide, a son of a former emperor of Mexico, and now a Mexican prisoner on a parole here, is less than five foet in stature. Harney, the American dragoon, is therefore full sixteen inches more elevated than this aid of Santa Anna. "Allow me," said a gentleman, "to introduce you. Major Iturbide, to Col. Harney, of the U. S. dragoons." Harney, in his most polished manner, bowed. IturLbide bowod in return, and then looked up. Looking up far a. moment with restrained astonioiiment.upon Harney, the Mexican said "I should hate to have met you at Cerro Gordo." The instant reply of Col. Harney was inimitable, while it was it could be nothing else gentlemanly. "DearMnjor, I would'nt have hurt you for the world !" The effect upon the company was irresistible. Marriage ofthe Countes Guiccioli. The Paris correspondent of the Boston Albs speaks of this lady's marriage, as follows : A wedding which attracted much attention, was that of Monsieur Hillaire Etienne Octavo Bonnille, Marquis de Boissy du Cond mis, Peer of France and Chevalier of the Legion of Honor, to Madame Theresa Francoise Olympia Gaspera Gamba, daughter of Couut Gamba, and widow of Count Guiccioli. The Marquis is a wealthy, eccentric old widower, connected with the first families iu France. His bride is a most bewitching, golden-haired creature, "Being somewhat large, and languishing, and lazy, Yet of a beauty that would drive you crazy ;" the original of Dudu, iu Don Juan, which is a capital portrait of her. Even now she is fifty, and celebrated as having long held its noble author captive. She moves in the best Fren-jh stciety, where she has generally been escorted during late years by II. L. Buiwer, now English Minister at Madrid. - The New York "Tribune" contends that Mr. Clat is the choice of the whig party, and one of its correspondents denouuees the Taylor movement os made by slavery propagandists. He' denies that Taylor can, under any circumstances, get the whig vote of the north. The "Courier & Inquirer" claims that Tatlob and Webster will be the whig nominees for President and Vice President, but the "Louisville Journal" denies that Webster will have any such position assigned to him. The waters of the whig stream are sadly agitated just now, aid as undercurrents cone into collision, the surface cannot remain onri 1 ffled-M .' tjr- i"

A Drier Synopsis Of the History of the Indiana Atylum for Educating the Deaf and Dumb. Severs! years ego venous benevolent citizens of this

Sitte bee me interested in bebalf of tbe deaf and dumb, on sccount of their forlorn lot, and because schools for the special benefit of deif muels existed elsewhere and were in successful operation. At length, during the session of the General Assembly in tbe winter of 1812-3, this topic had gained such gener al footing and sympathy, that preparatory act was passed, -to provide means for the support of a deaf sad dumb tylum in Indiana. 1 his 'act. simo v levied a tax ot two mills on every one hundred dollars valuation of taxable property in the State: leaving the rest open for future legislation. In the spring following Mr. William Wrilnrd, (late a teacher in ihe Ohio Asylum for the deaf and dumb,) who bsd a few yeirs previously made a private lour through ihn Stale, iiied Indianapolis again. At ihis juncture At r. Willard consulted with several prominent citizens of this place and others from various parts of the State, on the beat p an for speeding the establishment f the contemplated ssv Iura for the e'esf and dumb. This movement resulted in the publication of the proceeding of a meeting of citizens on tbis subject, signed by the lion. John Law, of Vinceonss as Chairman, and He v. Phineas D. Gurley, of Indianapolis, as Secretary. The shove meeting took piece May 30th, 1843. Mr. Willatd at the same time published an advertisement iu which he engaged 10 open a school for the deaf and dumb in Indianapolis, t j com i.snce 1st of October, 1843, and which took place accordingly. The meeting of ciizens above referred to, sppointed Hon. G. H. Dunn, J. S. Bayless, Esq., Hon. Samuel Merrill, Livingston Dunlsp, M. D. and J. P. Chapman, Esq.. a committee Mo aid Mr. Willard in accomplishing the object of his visit,' and they gratuitously leut their aid and influence. Mr. Willard also received frequent encouraging at. tentions snd hospitalities from other citiaens during the greater part of the summer previous to opening school, whirh he spent in visiting families in various parts of the State where there were deif mute children. The object of Mr. W illard's tour was to inform the deaf mutes by signs, as far as poMible, about the contemplated school tar Ibeir benefit aud of its benign and Useful design snd als to eplist among their friends and others additional sympathy and confidence in behalf of the cauae. During the month of October the attendance of pup Is at Mr. Willard's school increased to twelve, and shortly after numbered sixteen. In tbe winter if 18434, members of Ihe Goneral Assembly frequently visited the mute school, and took a lively interest in the milter. The General Assembly, as Mr. Willard had made no charge for tuition, pssaed 'a joint resolution? directing the Treasurer of State to pay to Mr. Willard what he might deem righL It was also during this session that, 'an ad incorporating the Indiana Atylum fo Educating the Deaf and Dumb.' was passed. Tbe following Trustees were sppointed by this act, to serve for ons year tilt their successors shou d be elected by the House of Representatives : Gov. James Whitcomb, Hon. Royal May hew, Treasurer of State, Hon. Woi. Sheets, Secretary or State, Rev. Messrs. H. W, Beecher, Phineas D. Gurley, Love II. Jameson, and Matthew Simpson, Livingston Dunlap, M. D., and Hon. James Morrison. The above Board of Trustees opened ihe Slate Asylum for educating ihe deaf and dumb. Oct. 1st, 1844. They employed William Campbell, Eq , as Steviard, and bis Lady as Malron, snd Mr. Willard a acting Principal or Teacher, thereby adopting Ihe private school which bad previously been in operation one year. This year twenty two pupils attended. In the winter 1844-5, the Board of Trustees were reorganized and reduced to fire members, snd the appointment of the same vested in the Governor, by a special amendment to Ihe 'act' incorporating the asylum. Additional assessment was levied foi the support of the etylum. In October 1815, Mr. James S. Brown, the present principal of the asylum, commenced the discbarge of the dslies of his office therein, in accordance with his previous appointment by' the Board of Trustees. Th's year thirtyfive pupils attended. In the winter of 1845-6, the Geoeial Assembly fixed the permanent location of the asylum at Indianapolis, and placed a sum not exceeding three thousand dollars at the discretion of the Board to purchase a lot of ground for the Asylum. The 'act of incorporation was further amended, so that the Governor should hereafter sppointone Trustee annually, showing members of the Board to serve for a teim of five years. In esse of a vacancy occuiring in the Board the set of incorporation proviJes that the Boardshall fill it by electing another trustee to serve for the unexpired term of the late incumbent. Last year the asylum numbered e'nty-fie pupils, and the General Assembly raised the assessment from five to fifteen mills. The present year the asylum contains eightyone pupils, and it is hoped the General Assembly wilt give additional encouragement, especially to wards tbe erection of the necessary buildings for the asylum on that leauliful and large lot of grounJ in the eastern vicinity of this citT. whi. h the.

Some time last July, Gen Worth, who commanded the First and advance Division of our Army, arrived before the city cf Puebla, and was met by a deputation from that place. A capitulation and treaty were agreed upon r v ... , ä 1 1 1.1 between Gen. Worth and the Mexicans, by which tho . . . 1 I , 1 latter were allowed a much larger liberty, and mure rights, that had ever before been conceded to them by any of our Generals. It was considered that this treaty exposed our troops, whilst encamped in Puebla, to be assassinated with impunity, and left them without any means of redress fur any injuries. When Gen. Scott arrived at Puebla, he coudemned this treaty in the strongest terms, and censured Gen. Worth for making it. The latter immediately demanded a Court of Inquiry. Such a court was ordered to be held by Gen. Scott. It was composed of Gens. Quitman, Twiggs and Smith. The finding of the Court was a severe condemnation aud censure of Gen. Worth Gen. Scott approved the decision of the Court, and here first commenced the interruption of a friendship which had lasted for more than twenty years. The coolness, not to say enmity, of these two Generals continued until our army was about to advance fron Puebla, when an apparent reconciliation was effected. There were whisperings, that Gen. Scott was sorely chagrined at the result, and strongly condemned Gen. Worth' dUnntiitinnfi at F.I Molina del Rev. and that this lamrntah1( affiir would he the subioct at lpaat of' iujs lamemaoie andir wouia oe tue suojcci at least 01 a Court of I tlOUirVs. I But the present difficulty between Gens Scott and Worth, did not originate from the disaster at Molilio. 1 he cause of uen worth s arrest was the use of disrespectful and unofficerlike language in a letter written hy him to the Commander-in-Chief. On the publication of the order in regard to letters written from the army, and the consequent arrest of Col. Duncan, Gen. Wurth wrote a letter to Gen. Scott, inquiring if he (Geti. W.) was referred to iu these general orders. General Scott replied that he would i.ut respond to the inquiry. Thereupon Gen. Worth wrote a letter, chargiug the Commander-in-Chief with unotficerlike conduct, and requesting the charges to be transmitted to the Secretary of War. For sending this letter, Geh. Worth was arrested, aud 'will be tried by a court martial in the city of Mexico. Gen. Pillow was arrested for appealing from a decision of the General-in-Chief, and sending on his appeal to the Secretary of War without the consent or knowledge of Gen. Scott. N. O. Delta. The Emperor oe Austria. A correspondent of the Newark Advertiser, writing from Vienna; gives the followi ig not very flattering description of the Emperor of Austria. "His Majesty of Austria is a short, ill made man, with a head by far too läge for his body, and which fthe head) he moves constantly about in a sort of nervous, mechanical twitching; manner. He stands, I should judge, not more than 5 feet 2, and is est approaching three score. His countenance denotes any thing but in'ellect, having a dull, unmeaning expression, plainly indicative of both mental and physical imbecility. It is well known that his mind is weak ; he passes much of his time in trifling amusements, in eating and sleeping, and is but a mere machine in tbe hands of the Empress and- Meternkh. It gave me a shudder of melancholy tu see such a tun 11 and he the ruler of millions, pass through all that splendid array of noble looking men, on meny of whom God had plainly set the itnpriut of genius and power. It is said that an eagle, shot by one of his courtiers, was brought to him, aud on being told that it was an .& vie. he denied it, saying, 'No, no, an ea"le is al ways double-headed" the latter being the national

Washington, Jan. 13. Yesterday, Judge Wick of Indiana, offered a resolution, requiring a passing notice. This was to instruct the committee 011 Naval Affairs to bring in a bill making it ohligato-y on naval officers, when besieging the halls of Congress, to appear in uniform. I wrote you some time since of the rumored effort of Commanders, Lieutenants and passed Midshipmen, to procure the passage of a law taking away from naval pursers and surgeons their

assimilated rink conferred by the Department, in ac icordance with the nrinciule embraced in the law erivitlg euc, rank to officers of the same description in the army. For some days past, perhaps thirty navaj officers in citizens'clothe, have been visible around the lobbies when the House was in session. The quid mines say, lo, that any quantity of secret indignation meetings have been held, at which most of tue members connected with naval ofikers, to t.i third or fourth decree of consanguinity, hove Attended to aid 111 concocting the grand demonstration against the pursers and,' surgeons. This sort of thing will fail, as it should ; and. I trust, inrty result in ihe suc cess of Wick's resolution. Much excitement is crea ted by this war on pursers and surgeons. I have until Ihis morning, been a skeptic, as to the truth of the rumor that Gen. Scott has be:n ordered to Washington to have the investigation into his charges against Pillow, Worth and Duncan, made here. Indeed, I have every reason to believe that the dispatches, as m.ide up the day before yesterday, contemplated no such thing. I am, however, to-day in formed, by one who is generally pretty accurate, that the government have re-considered their original design of holding the court at Perote, and determined to convene it at headquarters. If this be true, the commaud, in absence of Gen. Scott, will devolve on Gen. Butler. Cor. Ohio Statesman. A Gentleman of Colok. A friend informs us that the richest man in St. Thomas, one of the principal ports of the West Indies, is a negro as buck as ebo- . 1 .1 . ny. lie is said to be worin no less man three mil lions of dollars, and has acquired his wealth by traf ficking in persons of Ins own color. He has two children, both of whom were early sent to Hamburg to be educated, where no pains or expense was spared to enliühten both their minds and their skins. One of them, a girl, returned to St. Themas with many accomplishments, both of mind and person, a complexion somewhat free from its original shadows, and a heart altogether susceptible of the delightful im predion of love. Vo the great mortification of her lather, however, eiie bestowed her anections on a person of her own culor, a clerk in her father's house, and a young man of respectability and worth; and in spite of parental authority, was clandestinely married to him. This coining to the knowledge of the father, so displeased him, that he disinherited the happy pair, and procured their banishment from the island. The husband, however, lived but a short time, aud the daughter has been received again into the family cir etc, and has since married a white man, much to the satisfaction of the father, v!k has liberty furnished him with all the good things if this life. The other child, who is a 6 on, married a white woman at Ham burg, by whom he has several children, and has re cently returned with them to St. Thomas, where they were received with great pride of feeling by the sable grandfather, who dandles them upon his knee and kisses their sweet faces wtih as much afiection as though he were white. Cheap Postage. The following extract from an article in the last number of the Democratic Review oti the Post Office, presents the argument in favor of a uniform rate of two cent letter postage, in its most impregnable aspect. It is singular that, considering the circumstances of the condition of the United Slates as compared with Great Britain, the amount of correspondence between individuals should be so much less in America than ?n England. The census of 1841, was 20,711,059 of whom 12,127,405 were over 2U years of age ; of these 41 per cent were unable to read and write, leav ing but7,155,lG9 persons who enjoy the advantages of a post ofhee. These transmit through the mail 204,000,000 letters per annum, or 231 letters each In the United States are, according to the census, 5,' euo,sio tree while persons over zu years who can read and write; and these it appears, in 1344 mailed but 27,831,030 letters or 42-3 each, and this year of all sorts 50,000,000 letters, or about nine letters each, being one third only of the quantity of letters mailed per capita in Great Britain. It the people pf this country should write each as many as those of England, there would be lUo.lXXJ.lXXl mailed ; and at two cents each, would give a revenue of $3,2J0,00O, eqtta to tue revenue or the present year Every one must know that Ihe only reason why as many letters are not written m this country as in England, is because we have a higher rate of postage to pay. Later from Sr. Domingo. Conspiracy to destroy all the white inhabitants frustrated. We learn from Capt. Schriver, of the schooner Mary Ellen, arrived on Saturday, from St. Domingo in 23 days, that a plot had been discovered, headed by too minister, to de troy all the whites in that part of the Island. The Prime Minister, the General-in-Cbief, and two other othcers, had been shot a few diys previous to the sail ing of the M. E., thirty more of the conspirators were confined in the Castle, and would be shot the fol , , M,. ,, " lowmjweek. 1 he authorities were also expecting an I ,, .e lT ,, r . ! attack from the Haytieu8. .-vir. of Commerce.
