In o.'fi'.j'ouof the accident which -brought those interesting strangers to our village, the Janitor o' the noble university at Meadi!lc was already in waiting at

"We forgot to say of the exhibition of the students, that never since the beams of science penetrated with its lambent rays the western forest, has such a splendid corruscation of talent been displayed as on this occasion. The candidates for baccalaureate honors acquitted themselves with superhuman renown. They seemed to inherit the eloquence of Demosthenes, the wit of Horace, and the learning of Aristotle, and to blend them together in one great mass of conglomerated excellence.

pects the w hole mercantile community, it is not true that the bank ha, reduced its loans. The next inquiry is, how far is this charge applicable to our local situation ; our own city? Have the branch

in this place recently reduced their discounts? Here, again, we answer in the negative; and we challenge contradiction. Without the aid of an 'express,' the fact, in a few days, could be ascertained from the Secretary of the Treasury. Wc assert, that since the first day of June last, say six weeks, the amount of discounts at this branch has

been increased nearly half a million of

dollars. iNor is this all; within the same or less period of time, the bank

has purchased about four hundred thou

sand dollars foreign bills of exchange for which they have paid cash; and these hills have been purchased at a rate of only about one quarter of one. per cer.t, under the price they were off-Tod at, in the hands of the brokers.

This very brief exposition is sufficient to show how unfounded, and how unjustifiable are the char ges against this institution; charges which have their origin in the worst passions or the most se'fisli considerations. The question then recurs (o what is this pressure upon the money mark

been truly a tropical one. During the night, the tree frogs, crickets, razor grinders, reptiles and insects of every kind, kept up a continued consort. At sunrise, when the flowers unfolded themselves, the bumming birds, with

the. metallic lustre glittering on their wings, passed radidly fiom blossom lo blossom. The bright yellow and black mocking birds flew from their pendant nests, accompanied by their neighbors, the wild bees, which construct their earthen hives on the same tree. The continued rains had driven the snakes from their holes, and on the path w ere seen the huah-master, (conaconchi) un

rivalled for its brilliant colors, and the deadly nature of its poison and the labaria, equally poisonous, w hich erects its scales in a frightful manner when irritated. The rattlesnake was also to be met with, and harmless tree snake ofmany species. Under the river's bank lay enormous caymen of alligators, one lately killed measured twenty two feet. Wild deer and the peccari hog were seen in the glades in the centre of the island; the jaguar and the cougar (the American leopard and lion) occasionally swarm over from the main land. We sailed up the Essequibo for a

hundred miles in a small schooner of

thirty tons, and occasionally took to canoes or coorials to visit the creeks. We then went up a part of the Mazaroony river, and saw also the unexplored

Coioony; these three rivers join their waters about one hundred miles from

the mouth of the Essequibo. In sailing or padling up the stream, the breadth is so great, and the wooded islands so numerous, that it appears as if we navigated a large lake. The Dutch in former times had cotton, indigo, and cocoa estates on the Essequibo, beyond their capital Kykovcral, oa an island at the frnks or junction of the three rivers. Now, beyond the islands at the mouth of the Esscquibo, there are no estates, and the mighty forest has obliterated all traces of former cultivation. Solitude and silence are on either hand, not a vestige of the dwellings oflhe Hollanders being to be seen; and only occasionally in struggling through the entangled brushwood one stumbled over a marble tombstone brought from the shores of the Zuyderzee. At every turn of the river, we discovered objects of great interest. The dense and nearly impenetrable forest itself occupied our chief attention; magnificent trees, altogether new to us, were

anchored to the ground by bush rope, convolvuli, and parasitical plants of every variety. The flowers of these cause the woods lo appear as if hung with garlands. Pre-eminent above the others was the towering and majestic Mora, its trunk spread out into buttresses; on its top would be seen the king of the vultures expanding his immense wings to dry after the dews of the night. The very peculiar and romantic cry of (he bell-bird, or cOmpanero, would be heard at intervals; it is white, about the size of a pigeon, with a leather excrescence on its forehead, and the sound which it produces in the lone wood?, is like thai

' of a convent bell tolling.

swamps of Missippi and Louisiana, the high healthy regions of Arkansas, the beautiful plains of Kentucky, the prairies of lndinia and Texas, alike feel its blighting influence, and bear the marks of its desolating course. Nor is it confined to the cities or towns, but finds the mansions of the rich, the cottage of the poor, and even hunts out the hermit in his cave. We have not the slightest question that in future it will be a household rnnlaili, besides causing every other disease to put on more or less of its character. As we. said, the Cholera is every where; but we know of no place thai it has visited ender the more aflicting circumstance than the town of Alexandria La. The first evidence of its presence there was, the sudden and simulfnneous attack of four persons in a family of six, every one of whom died on the same day. The family thus afflicted was that of Mr. Allouard, himself, wife and two other children being the victims, leaving two other children orphans ami destitute.

His power was so great that government was intimidated, aud was niable to rout him from his strong hold. The following is an instance of the refinement and cold hloo.Kl barbarity with which he inflicted death. A poor fellow travelling near St. Martins, overtook a man ou the road and entered into conversation with hirn in the course of which he observed that he hoped that he might never fall into the hands of fJomei. "Why not?" asked his companion. "Kcause" continued the traveller, "he is nt only partial to robbing his victim, hut h. delights in the shedding of blood, and in the ex ercise of cruelty." "And who told you that?'" said his felloe pedestrian; "common report," said the itv eller, "and I know (or certainty that he inu.s ders every man ho captures, and washes hi hands in the blood." "Indeed " replied the other. "

In vain the traveller expressed his detestation of all new acquaintances, and urged the importance of his business ; he was forcibly conducted to the ground, and then had the inexpressible horror of finding the rohbor to be his companion. "Here," said Gomez to some of his gang, "bring that large chest here." It was brought. "Now get in here," he continued to the trembling traveller, which being complied wfthv the lid was fastened down, when Gomel said to him, "Now Senor, you shall know how falsecommon report. You shall die, but your blood shall not be spilt, neither shall I gloat over thee, or wash my hands in the streams of nfe now starve, suffocate and di."
