We alto unders'.and that there were three dpaths in South Hanover yesterday from cholera. The Cincinnati Commercial says the cholera has appeared on the farms near the city, and that some who had flown, in terror hem the pestilence have died. This proves ths utter felly of leaving the city, iiii.l getting beyond the use of medical aid. CrFrom Tuesday evening, up to yesterday morning, there were but seven deaths fieri) cholera in Louisville, Kv. fj-The National Intelligencer, a shovt time since had the following in regard to Gen. Taylor's Cabinet: "There has never existed in this government a more harmonious Cabinet. The gentlemen who compose it are personal friends, with i;n entire agreement on ell the great points of political filth." We wonder whether Messrs. Co!lam?r, Meredith, and even Gen. Taylor, endorse the following extract of a fipeech recently made by Hon. Reverdy Johnson: "A large portion of our Pacific territories is suited to slaver-; end I wm'I add that no kind of labor will develop- so rapidly its immense resources and prepare it for the abode of enterprise and elevated civilization. Let not the South lose eight of the facta. Lather not be decoyed frcm vigilance over her rights, or charmed into insensibility to legislative aggression, by the siren song that these territories are not adapted to slavery. They are adapted to it; and if the South will be united in demanding justice at the hands of Congress; if she will be immovable in insisting that the door of unrestricted emigration from all quarters of the Union shall be thrown wide; if she will maintain, at all hazards, the doctrine of noninterference by Congress, there can be no question that slavery will find its way into New Mexico and California: and that she will yet reap her share of the fruits of the common blood and treasure expended in their acquisition." Conscience! The Washington correspondent of the New Haven Register says that a few "conscience whisis" refuse to lake tlip gold dollars because they come from California, the country wrongfully obtained from the Mexicans by a bloody and unjust war. fj?"Sui:s against the city of Boston have been brought by shippers of emigrants to recover back the head money paid into the city treasury under a law decided sometime by the supreme court to be unconstitutionah The amount is said to be s'200.000, and i the lawyer who conducts the suits is to re ceive one-fourth of the sum. nj-The W athingtou correspondent of th Philadelphia Ledger says: -The ad mi ni,nation eccm to have civen in luoa oi having ft majority in the Itou-e of Representatives, and has no notion of making a violent attack either on the tariff of 1S4G, or on the suh-;reasurv."

The following is an extract from St. Louis to the editors of the Louisville Journal: St. Locis, June 29th, IS4D. Gentlemen: It is as difficult for me to describe as it will be for you to imagine the melancholy gloom and dejection which have settled on the city. The cholera has been amongst us with various intensity since January; but it is only within the last sixty days that it has been truly alarming. The bids of mortality speak in figures an extent of devastation sufficient to clothe a city in mourning, as it has done. But to the figures: Deaths reported for the week ending May 7, 135

It is beliex-ed that the disease will soon abate; it must do so for want of subjects, as one-third of the people have probably left for more healthy districts, and more will go unless there is a speedy change. Rigorous Quarantine at Havana. The following order was published at Havana on the 22 J ultimo: "In conseiuence of the great extent to which cholera has spread in the United States, and there being no proper piece at this port for the accommodation and separation from each other, during the quarantine, of the great number of passengers arriving in vessels from those ports, it has been determined not to admit, while said causes exist, those arriving in steamers, but such as come iu sailing vessels, as in the latter they can ride out the quarantine which may be imposed upon them. Vessels arriving from infected ports shall undergo twenty days of rigorous quarantine, reckoned from the day of arrival, and also the fumigation ordained by the regulation. Such vessels as come from non-infected ports with clean bills of health shall undergo an observation of eight days, after which they will be admitted to free intercourse, should there be no just motive to prevent it. CT The gallant General John A. Quitman, whose name is associated with some of the most brilliant achievements of the Mexican war, has been nominated by the democratic State Convention for the office of Governor. After the nomination of the officers several speeches v ere made one by Col. Jefferson Davis. A correspondent of the Ohio Statesman, writing ; frorn jackson, Miss, where the convention to was held, sajs: "The convention was then addressed by Col. Jefferson Davis the gallant leader of the .. is-sh-sippi K tries at Buena Vista a son-in-law of ; Gell. Tavlor. and HOW One Of the United States' ; Senators "from this State. His personal friend- ; ship for Gen. Taylor is well known; but there is perhaps no man in the Senate or elsewhere who will take stronger grounds against the measures of the existing eight hkaded administration, or stand up more strongly iu rebuke of its flagrant violation of plighted faith. In common with all men whose bread is not dependent upon office, Col. Davis feels that the national character has been cigruced by the falsification which the Taylor Cabinet has made of the seductive promises of the whig party and its candidates, during the Presidential contest; and his immense influence with the people of this Sute will be actively exerted to render it sure that the popular voice iu Mississippi, at the next election, shall go forth in stern condemnation of the President and his federal advisers."

'Many removals too numerous to detail have ! beeu miide here, and also abroad, within a cay or two, or will be made to-morrow. ome of these i removals may be accounted for; but as to others, ; the causes of them are as obscure and mysterious as of the cholera.

IMPORTANT AND INTERESTING FROM MEXICO. The Patria, the Spanish paper published at New Orleans, issued an extra on the 25th ult,

with the following Important intelligence from Mexico. We received, yesterday, the Biea Publico, pub lished at Matamoros, of the ISth inst, in which we find the following: On the 17th inst. the following document came to hand, which we translate from the English, and although it appears to have been printed in this city, (Matamoros) we have good reason to believe that it was printed on the other side of the river, (i. e., on the American side:) Declaration of Indetendence June 16th 1S49. Uiiaimouj Declaration of Ike Sevn Northern ita?es of the Sierra Marfre of M xico. When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one nation to dissolve the political bonds which unite it to another, and to assume separately among the powers of the earth the position to which the laws of nature, and of nature s God entitle it, a decent respect for the opinion of mankind requires that it should state the causes which impel it to the separation. The history of the present and past government of Mexico is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having for their direct object the establishment of an absolute tyrany over these States. To prove this, we present the following facts to an impartial world: First Wearied with political changes, which have been heretofore nothing more than continued oppression, exercised by new hands, we de clare ourselves free. Second Wearied with the exactions of the government, which have been made solely for the purpose of perpetuating the power of the usurpers of the liberties of the people, we declare ourselves free. Third Wearied with the armies which have been collected solely to oppress and annihilate the industry of all except that of the oppressors, we declare ourselves free. Fourth Wearied that our beloved religion constantly threatened by bayonets, is fettered in its design of benevolence and public instruction, we declare ourselves free. Filth Wearied that the people, in the midst of their vast domains, are denied the right of individual possession, we declare ourselves free. Sixth Wearied with the promises which have been made to our children, who anxiously await in vain of their rulers, the right f education, we declare ourselves free. Seventh Wearied that onr aged fathers are sinking gradually into the grave, like the brutes without any alleviation, we declare ourselves free. Eighth Wearied that while misery and poverty prevail everywhere, the usurpers amass purple and gold, we declare ourselves free. Ninth Wearied with the National declaration that slavery should not be tolerated on our soil, while the domestic service is an odious, horrible, and cruel system, and prevails without alleviation, and without parallel, we declare ourselves free. Wherefore, we, the people of the Seven Northern States of Mexico, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the Universe for the rectitude of our intentious, now solemnly proclaim and declare "that these United States are free and independent!" That they are absolved from all allegiance towards the Mexican Government, and that all connection between them has ceased, is and and ought to be entirely dissolved. And consequently as free and independent States we have the right to levy war, make peace, form alliances, establish commerce, and perform any other act j or thins which appertains of riht to free and inj dependent States. And to sustain this declaraj tion, with a firm reliance upon Divine Providence, j we mutually pledge each other, our lives, our j fnrtnnds. and our srr-rl hnnnr We have drawn the sword a,H thrown the scabbard. Now's the day. Death to tyrants. Matamoros, Mexico, June 1G, IS49.

European Life and Manners The English Nobility. The Boston Transcript contains some interesting facts gleaned from Coleman's new work on "European Life and Manners." We copy the following: Althorpe, the residence of Earl Spencer, con sists of 10,000 acres, "all lying together, in wood, meadow, pasture, gardens, parks, and everything in a style of superior beauty and order. His house contains sleeping apartments for 70 guests the entries End rooms are filled with pictures and statues. A gallery of pictures 100 feet long contains many of the pictures of the first masters. His library comprises more than 50,000 vols., and is 6aid to be the finest in the world. The Duke of Richmond's home farm, called Goodwood, contains 23,000 acres. His whole domain at Goodwood is 40,000 acres. He has a summer retreat in Scotland of between 2 and 300,000 acres. "Of the beauty and magnificence of this establishment," says Mr. Coleman, "1 cannot give you an adequate idea," extensive parks, through which you ride for miles and miles herds of deer, sheep, and cattle 25 race horses in the stable and a groom for each an aviary filled with a variety of splendid birds fiishponds grottos, &.c. The annual income of the Duke of Devon shire, the proprietor of Chatsworth, is said to be 200,000, or one million of dollars. This is said to be the most splendid nobleman's seat in England. His arboratum, covering many acres, con tains one or more specimens of every tree that can be acclimated the kitchen garden covers 12 acres a conservatory 387 feet long, 117 feet wide, 67 high, with a carriage-way. This convatory is covered with 7,600 feet of glass, and warmed with hot water passing through an extent of 7 miles. The fountain of Chatsworth throws the water to the height of 276 feet. Here the Duke owns 3,500 acres, and 96,000 in Derbyshire. On page 103, vol. 1, Mr. Colman gives an account of several noblemen whose annual income varied from 100,000 to 150,0 0 that is, from $500,000 to $750,000 per annum. Lord Yarborough has more than 60,000 acres in his plantation He has 600 tenants, and you can ride thirty miles in a direct line, upon his estate. "May of the tenants of Lord Yarborough pay 1,000 and 1,400 guineas a-year rent; and several of them live like noblemen, keeping their dogs, horses, carriages, and servants in livery." The Duke of Richmond has more than forty race-horses, and sixty grooms and hostlers. His salmen-fishery at Gordon Castle used to be let for $10,000, and now lets for $7,000 per annum, or $35,000. After alluding to a court-ball, at which one lady wore 60,000 ($300,000) worth of diamonds, Mr. C. remarks: "Thei Duchess of Roxburgh whom I do not know, appeared most splendidly; and well she might, as the annual income of the Duke is stated to be 300,000." There are very few of our wealthiest men whose entire estate is equal to the income of this nobleman for a single year. Father Mathew. The packet ship Ashburton, with Father Mathew on board, arrived off Sandy Hook on Friday evening last. She reached the quarantine ground, at Staten Island, at sun-down, when the Apjstle of Temperance went ashore, with the doctor w ho came from the Island to examine the passengers. He was accompanied by his secretary, Mr. O'Mera, and was received witu the utmost enthusiasm by the people on shore. The New York Herald, says : Father Mathew enjoyed excellent health all the way, and his spirits were remarkably good. He was only 6ea-sick for the first day or two. He looks right well, though, when going on shore, he appeared a little nervous and excited. He offered Mass and addressed the people every Sunday during the voyage; and on the Sunday before last, addressed the passengers on the subject of temperance, when he administered the pledge to 150. He conciliated the affection and good-will of all on board even of those who did not adopt the tee-total principle. Said Patrick, "I wunst know'd a man in county Meath, and a mighty quare janus he was, that took it into his head to invint perpituil motion, and he actually made an eight-day clock that run three weeks!" Horn Tooke, being asked by George III whether he played cards, replied, "I cannot, your Majesty, tell a king from a knave."

On Friday night, officer Demire, of St. Louis, arrested Edward Connaugh in the act of stealing dry goods at tha ' fire. When taken to the callaboose, the New Ere says that Edward stated, in palliation of his ef-" fence, that hehal only been in the country month and didn't know the rules. Free Schools in Virginia The Legislature of the Old Dominion, which is now engaged at the White Sulphur Springs in amending the Constitution, not of the genus homo, but of the State, have wisely directed that any county may, by a vote of the people, adopt the Free School system. Carpenters for the most art speak jlant-j, but they will chisel when they can get a chance. Not unfrequently they are bore, and oftentimes annoy one with their "'old saics." O Frederick Douglass and Remond, the celebrated abolitionists, were recently subjected to a shower of rotten eggs, w hile holding forth, on slavery at Weymouth, Mass.
