This morning we heard of two new cages Mr. Taylor, cabinet-maker, and a colored man, both living in Georgetown. Neither are expected to recovei. We have heerd of several other caes, supposed to Le cholera, but do not feel warranted in publishing theru. A good deal of o.hr sickness prevail?, and there is much unnecessary alarm in the public mind.

Cholera. We promised our readers that ! we would faithfully report all the cases of j cholera that came to our knowledge, in our j own city, a3 well as other places from j which we could obtain authentic accounts, j

Thus far, we have kepv them advised of the progress of the disease, by extracting from our exchanges what we believed to be j mmet enrrAct statements- snn nurriftilv reports of the health of our own city have been obtained from the most reliable sources within our reach, in the absence of a Board of Health. The following "bulletin of health" we condense from our exchanges in different pirta of the country: The Board of Health in Philadelphia report, for the two weeks ending on the 22 d inst., twenty-three cases and eleven deaths from cholera. The city of Charleston, S. C, is said to be enjoying an unusual degree of good health for this season of the year. The last weekly bill of mortality enows the death rf butsix white persons. No cholera cases reported. The number of interments at the City Graveyard, Nash ville, Tenn., on Satuaday ; last was thirty-eight, and on Sunday only thirteen. The total number of bunals for the previous week amounted to 124 in all, of which 117 were from cholora. There were eleven burials in the City Graveyaid on Monday last, but whether thy were all from cholera was not ascertained. The Louisville Journal of Saturday fays that six deaths had occurred on Water street since the preceding evening, four of which were from cholera; and that there had been two other deaths from the same disease in the lower part of the city. The Lexington (Ky.) Atlas states that the cholera has almost disappeared from that city, only one case having been reported on Thursday last. In the Asylum, one death occurred on Wednesday, and one new case, which will probably prove fatal. The deaths in Boston for the week ending last Monday, were twenty-four, only five of which are reported as cholera cas s. The St. Louis Republican of Tuesday last, states that the cholera is still sweeping off its scores of victims in that city, daily, and this at a time when the atmosphere is pure, s.nd when there appears to he no good reason for the prevalence of mortality. The St. Louis papers report the cholera very bad at Warsaw, Mo. The cholera still prevails on many plantations in the viainity of Vicksburg. Miss. The Sentinel says that that city is free of the disease, and is more healthy than usual at this season of the year. At Elizabethtown, 111., the fatality is verygreat. Out of a population oi ess than three hundred there have been twenty-four deaths in two or three days. Tl e inhabitants are leaving trie place as fast as possible. On the steamer Pontiac, from St. Louis, the barber, a yellow man, died of cholera last Friday. The Covington (Ky.) Union eayr there have been several cases of cholera in that vicinity recently, some of which have proved fatal. There have been six fatal cases of cholera at Newport, Ky., during the past week. The cholera has made its appearance at Cleves, Otiio, and some seven or eight persons have died of the disease. Reception of Father Mathew. The Irish Societies of New York are about to turn out in great pomp to meet their distinguished countryman. Among them the Hibernian Benevolent Society will muster in the procession some twelve hundred men.

From arrangements made for a supply of coal, there is no doubt of a regular communication between Panama and California. The only difficulty apprthended, is the desertion of the crews, but as the company are determined to run the steamers, this difficulty will be overcome by the payment of high wages demanded by seamen. This was done iu the case of the Californian, nnd will be resorted to whenever found necessary. O" The New OrU-aua Delta of the 14th, says "The overflow continues receding.

When Mr. Clay condescended to solicit of Geu.

We learn that a bov, aged some six or seven years, a son of Jacob Straw, of this county, was killed near Very's mill, yesterday, by the upsetting of a wood wagon.

ETWe are pleased to learn that some of our Indiana friends are gathering some of the waste gold in the yellow regions. The New Albany Bulletin says: "A letter was received by A.

They encountered many difficulties in their journey thither, but succeeded in reaching the gold region (160 milea from Suter's Fort) one month before the wet season set in ; and in that month each one of them secured about $600 in gold.

Two noted thieves, Cottingham and Dennison, were arrested last night, on suspicion of robbing Robert O'Blennis of a gold watch and $400, and Moore's bowling saloon of $1,000 in jewelry.— They confessed guilty, and accused John H. Landenmier with receiving the goods, knowing them to have been stolen. Landenmier was arrested, and gave bail to answer to the charge. He is a jeweller, and has previously been tried for similar offences. Senator Atchison and Representative Hill have taken the stump against Benton Dates from Fort Kearney to the 1st inst., state the weather rainy and the water high, and that the emigrants would experience serious trouble in crossing the streams. Provisions were very cheap, in consequence of emigrants having abandoned the trains. Many persons were turning back. Grass was scarce on the plains. H. S. Farmer, a Kentuckian, has been arrested for stealing two mules from O. Green, a Cincinnatian. Both were bound for California, and the robbery took place at St. Joseph. Farmer placed the mules on board the Sacramento aud brought them here. Green followed him and had him arrested as he was about to sell them. Recent accounts from California state that great excitement prevailed in San Francisco, caused by a disagreement between the civil and military authorities. Business of every description was dull, and the weather was exceedingly hot. There is no abatement of the epidemic here. The number of cholera deaths for the past twenty-four hours are about 100. Ten cemeteries report 102 interments, 67 of which were cholera. The weather is warm, and the themometer stands at 90d in the shade. The river is very high and rising.

The soil of California is represented as mostly unfit for agricultural purposes. Mr. Luther will return to California next spring. Jordan McAllister, a colored cabin boy belonging to the steamer Louisiana, was stabbed last night in a gang of thieves opposite the Theatre. His parents live in Cincinnati, for which place he left on the Mary Stephens—recovery doubtful. ----- GREAT FIRE IN MAINE.

Misfortune, aud even crime, sets no barriers betwer n her and her son. Whils his mother lives, he will have one friend who will not listen when he is slandered, will sootke him ia hia sorrows, and speak to him of hope, when he is ready to despair. Her affection flows from a pure fountain, and ceases only at the ocean of eternity. The passions, like heavy bodies down eteep hills, once in motion, move themselves, and know no ground but the bottom. Fuller.
