giving inence to the mercantile pan r.i trie community in which they lived, seem to have materially changed their opinion. From Sunderland is sent the chief supply of coal torn the metropolis; it firms the principal branch of the trade of that port, with which abeHefin the prevalence there of cholera, would naturallv seriously interfere. In a

commercial point of view, the prevalence ofjdon Pedro's squadron.

cholera would be highly detrimental lotrie whole kingdom; it would shortly produce a

suspension in all shipments to other parts of

the world. A reluctance ineretore loaamu its existence, until more decided marks of it are evident, is probably no more than might be anticipated. We giv the last official etatementof the medical men sent from London, with the latest opinions expressed on the subject by the London papers. One case of cholera it was also said had Occurred at Edinburgh. No more disturbances have taken place in Engl. id. The mayor of Bristol had ad dressed a I ng letter to the British home department, in which he ascribes and apparently with justice, the extent of late iisorders there, to the supineness of the officer com raanding the military. A report has prevailed in London for some days previous to our latest dates, that a change in the ministry was about to take place. We peceive nothing however, to justify the belief th i a measure pregnant with such important consequences, was near at hand. " On the 16th Nov. a cabinet council was held in London, for the purpose it was said of deliberating on the re-asemblage of par liament. An opinion is expressed that it was not the intention of the government to call that body together on the 22d Not. as was first proposed, but to delay it until the 8th of December, that then it would sit nhout 14

days, and not meet again until after Christmas lud passed. The renson assigned for the delay is the difficulty of getting the members together at an early day, as the invoca

tions and sports of the country would be re-

luctantlv given up dertng the season paiticularly appropriated tm them with so much eagerness m England. The reform bill will

probahlv therefore not make much progress before January, though the government and

peo; le show no evidence of a relaxation in their desire to obtain its passage. Large

meetings in favor of the measure continued to be held, and the public voice called as loudly for it as before. j Intelligence had reached England of the differences which had arisen between the officers of th East India company and the lo cal authorities at Canton. It is observed that thi is a proper time by Mm? prompt step to bring the Chines to their senses, and we perceive under the Portsmouth head that the M igicienne, a r;iz e of 26 guns had sailed for the E-nt Indies, via Rio de Janeiro, having

on boird despatches which it was supposed from Ine haste in which her departure was expedited, were of the greatest importance. Two or three new instances nre. mentioned

Washington, January 4. The senate, yesterday, transacted a consider able portion of legislative business, which will be found under oar congressional head Sevcral petitions and resolutions were submitted, and many bills passed through their first and second readings and were letVred. The bill re

gulating duties and fixing the compensation of

pursers in the navy, reported by the committee on naval affairs, was considered and postponed

to and made the order of the day for Tuesday next. The senate spent some time in the con sideratioa of execntive business. Many bills were repotted from the committees

and arted upon, in the house of representatives. Nearly forty resolutions Mere submitted, among which were a series by Mi. Ward, on the sub

ject of an improvement in the condition of the

army, by providing for giving the soldiers an education. The resolutions were agreed to, and the subject was referred to the military commit tee. Mr. Pendleton introduced several resolutions on the subject of regulating the appellate

jurisdiction of the Supreme courts of the United

States, in criminal cases hi the courts of the

States; declaring also the provisions of the 25th

section of the judicary act applicable to final

judgments in the criminal courts of the States,

aud snaking other provisions for the enforce

ment of the requisite processes under the act

Upon in division, by yeas and nays, the house

hiwever, laid the proposition upon the table by

a vote of 99 to 89. Mr. Mercer nrooosed a

resolution for applying part of. the proceeds of

the public land, after the national debt shall

have been extinguished, to the purpose of tke removal of free negroes to Africa; but before the sense of the house was taken on the subject, an adjournment took place. January 5. In the senate, yesterday, Mr. Benton, on leave

iftetructed a bill to reduce the duty 00 Indian blankets and other Indian goods, which was read and ordered to a second reading. After the presentation of petitions, and second readings

of bills, the bill providing for the settlement of the claims of ceitain States for interests on advances made by them to the United States, during the late war, was ordered to a second read ing. The following bills were passed: The bill for the relief of John Proctor; the bill for the relief of John 13. Taylor; the bill for there lief of Henry H Tuekerman; the bill for the le-

lief of Robertson and Barn ell, '.he bill for the relief uf William J. Qoincy and Charles C Quincy. After spending a short time in the consideration of executive business, the senate ndjoaruedlu the house of representatives, among the ies
