DUNHAM, OF WASHINGTON COUNTY. 7-V' regret 10 pay that the favorable reports of yesterday mu.-i be followed to-day Ly iiiiich more unt.ivorable intelligence. F'Om thp mot reliable source?, we conclude there cannot be less than five or nix new rasps t-ince yesterday noon. The number of" interments y etsierday , from all disease, was five. Hitherto the disease seems to have confined itself to particular localities, and particular classes, which would, in some degree, account for its appearance. Tne !aH reports indicate no longer any distinction of place or circumstances. In the absence of official reports from the Hoard of Health, we nhnl! continue to give the most reliable intelligence we can gather from all 6otii ces. News from all the towns along the river indicate an increase of cholera cases. Orlt is with feelings of most painful ; regret thai we are called u j on to announce the death of John Fugh, Esq., of this city, Yesterday afternoon he, in his uuial good health, assisted in paying the last tribute of respect to the remains of his departed brother, Wheeler, and this morning he is, doubtless, with him in heaven. He died of cholera, about seven o'clock, a. m. This announcement will fall with a terrible crash upon the minds of a large circle cf relatives and friends. Perhaps no man was more extensively or more favorablyknown in the city and county. lie has departed from our midst, but he leaves enshrined in the hea'ts of all who knew him the memory of a 200 1 man. 03-It is ako-ther pobable that many nvsiukes may be found in our .. legraphic I column to-day.

From Cham be r' Eiiaburgh Journal. THE SEVEN-SHILLING PIECE. Ait AKECDOTI. It wu during the panic of 1825 that a gentleman, whom we ha'l call Mr. Thompson, waa seated with iomethiog of a melancholy look to. his dreary back-room, watching hi- clerks paying away thousands of pounct nouily. Thompsoa

wu banker of excellent credit; there existed, perhaps, ia the city of London nJ safer concern than that of Messrs Thompsoa &. Co.; but at a moment such as I speak of, no rational reflection was admitted, no former stability was looked to; a general citrut was felt, and every one rushed to his banker to withdraw hi hoard, fearful that the next instant would be to late, forgetting entirely that this step was that of all others the most likely to insure the ruiu he sought to avoid. Butto return. The wea'thy citizen sat gloomily watching the outpouring of his gold, and with a grim smile Hstenihg to the clamorous demands ou his cashier; for although he felt perfectly easy and secure as to the ultimate strength of his resources, yet he could not repress a feeling of bitterness as he saw constituent after constituent rush in, and those whom he fondly imagiued to be his dearest friends eagerly assisting in the run upon his strong box. Presently the door opened, and a stranger was ushered in, who, after gazing for a moment at the bewildered banker, coolly drew a chair, and abruptly addressed him. "You will pardon me, sir, for asking a strange question, but I am a plain man, and like to come straight to the point." "Well, sir?' impatiently interrupted the other. "I have heard that you have a run on y our bank, sir?" "Well?" "Is it true?" "Really, sir, I must decline replying to your very extraordinary query. If, however, you have any money in the bank, you had better at once draw it out, and so satisfy yourself: our cashier will instantly pay you;" and the bauker rose, as a hint for the stranger to withdraw. "Far from it, sir: I have not one sixpence in your hands." "Then may I ask what your is busines here?" "I wish to know if a small sum would aid you at this moment?" Why do you ask the question?" "Because if it would, 1 should gladly pay in a small deposite." Tlie money-dealer started. "You seem surprised you don't know my person or my motive. I'll at once explaiu. Do you recollect some twenty years ago when you resided in Esex?" "Perfectly." "Well then, sir, perhip3 you have not forgotten the turn-pike gate throug'i which you passed daily? My father kept that gale, and was often honored by a few minutes' chat with you. One Christmas morning my father was sick, and I attended the toll bar. On that day you passed through, and I opeued the gate lor you. Do you recollect it, sir?" "Not 1, my friend." "No, sir; few such men remember their kind deeds, but those who are benefitted by them, seldom forget them. I am, perhaps, prolix listen, however, only a few moments, aud I have done." The bauker began to feel interested, and at oace assented. "W II, 6ir, as I said before, I threw open the gtte for you, and as I considered myself in duty bouud, I w ished you a hippy Christmas. 'Thank you, my lad,' replied you 'thank you; and the same to you here is a trifle to make it so; and vou threw in a seven-8hilliog piece. It was the first mon-y I ever pi'Sset); and never shall I forget my joy on rece.ving it, nor your kind t-mile in bestowing it. 1 long treamreu it, aud as I grew up, added a little to it, till I was abie to rent a toll myself. You lett lb it part of the country, and 1 lost sight of you. Yearly, however, I have, beeu getting on; yourpreseut brought good fortune with it: I am now comparatively rich, aud to you I cous der I owe all. So Uih morning, hearing accidentally there Wd a run ou your bank, I collected all my c pital, and brought it to lot ge with you, iu ca.e it can be of any ue. Here it is, aud im hauded a bundle of bank notes to the agitated Tho'iips'tn. "In a few days I'll call again;" and snatching up his hat, the stranger, throwing down his card, walked out of the room. Thompson um id the rol ; it coutained 30,000! The stern-hearted banker for all bankers must be stern burst into tears. The firm did not require this prop; but the motive was so noble, that even a milliouare Bobbed he could not help it. The firm is still one of the first in London. The 30.000 of the turnpike-boy is now grown into some 200,000. Fortune has well disposed of her gifts. Thk End of Prcdeci. The great end of prudence n to give cheerful nes3 to those hours which splendor cannot gild, and acclamation cannot exhilerate. Those soft intervals of unbended amusement, in which a man shrinks to his natural dimensions, and throws aside the ornaments of disguises which he feels, in private, to be useless incumbrances, and to lose all their effect when they become familiar. To be happy at home is the ultimate reso.lt of all ambition, the end to which every enterprise and labor tends, and of which ever, desire t rompts the execution. It is, indeed, at home that every man must be known by those who would make a just estimate of his virtue or felicity; for, smiles and embroidery are alike occasional, and the mind is often dressed, for the', in painted hoaor and fictitious benevolence

The St. Johns Telegraph OJBce Express reached Granville Point, at one o'clock this morniug, but was detained until 5 o'clock in the afternoon. The steamer America. Capt. Paris, arrived at Halifax at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon with sixty passengers, and will reach Boston on Wednesday morning. The Hibernia arrived at Liverpool on Monday, making the passage from Boston in nine days. MONEY MARKET. The Money market continues about the same though the discount is a shade higher. Consols Sl(2$2. American stocks are in good de mand, both in London and on the Continent. The King of Prussia is said to be in the market for a loan of Fifty Millions. ENGLAND. In Parliament, Lord Lansdowne, gave notice that on the 1 4th he would bring forward a motion respecting the late events in Canada. Lord Russell pledged himself that in the meantime nothing should be done prejudicial to the present portion of rebellion losses Bill. The conduct of the American government, in reference to the expedition sent in search of Sir John Franklin, has been alluded to in Parliament iu the most flattering manner. The affairs of the Continent had undergone no important change, though events are neither few nor trifling. FRANCE. A new Cabinet has been formed by a coalition between Odillon Barrett aud Reffoan. The new Ministry is the same as the old one, except Defeaurs, who takes the department of Minister of the Iuterior; Delosqueveil that of Foreign Affairs; aud Loquemis that of Commerce. A general messenger hus been dispatched with instructions to Gen. Oudinott, to reduce to sub jection the Holy City, at all hazards; and that he would commence an attack on the 30th of May, with an army of 25,000 men. The Romans have announced their firm deter mination to resist to the death the expected as sault, and it is stated that they have an efficient force of 80,000 men for that purpose. The Pope still persists iu demanding an unqualified restoration of his power as temporal ruler, and that the Triumverate, backed by the people, declare they will never concede it, and that they will fight to the last against all prospects of Restoration. GERMANY. The Frankfort Parliament will exercise its influence to form a Republic after the French model to be composed of Baden, Wurttmburgh, aud Rhenish B varia. Prussia, II tunver and Saxony have promulgated ne Constitutions for Germany, iu which the priuciple of universal suffrage is recognised as in past attempts to form a union. Among the German States, the King of Prussia is made the prominent head. Austria is excluded from the present arrangement. All other States are invited, it is doubtful whether the plan will succed. HUNGARY. Hungarv presents no new features, and since the fall of Buda into the hands of the Hungarians no event has occurred calculated to have a permanent influence upon the general result. Tlie Huniraritns have, achieved many, and in some cases important, victories. Tlie combatants are concentra'ing their force?, and rumors of tremend iius battles are daily7 received. The Austriau General, Wcidou, lias b-en sa-perc-tied by his Lieutenant.

A Woman's Advantages A woman may say what she likes to you, without th risk of getting knocked down for it. She can take a snooze after dinner, while her husband has to go to work. She can dress herself in neat aad tidy calicoes, for a dollar, which her husband has to earn and fork over. She can go into the street without being obliged to "treat" at every coffee-house. She can paint her face if she is too pale, or flour it if too red. She can stay at home in time of war, and Wed agam if her husband is killed. She can wear corsets if too thick, and other "fixiu'a" if too thin. She can eat, drink, and be merry, without costing her a cent. She can get divorced from her husband whenever she sees any one she likes better. And she can run into debt all over, until he warns the public, by adverti-ement, not to trust her on his account any longer. A dull parson encountered a farmer that he seldom saw at his ministration?, and asked him, after a little reproof of his sin of omission, "Shall we see'ou at church next Sabbath?" "Y-e-e-s," he slouly replied, "I'll go, or bend a hand!" CANDIDATES. The fee for announcing candidates for office is one dollar; and no name is announced until payment is made.
