The bill of mortality of Brooklyn last week, shows a total of 55 deaths—f I being children, and 12 by cholera infantum. There were 202 deaths in Philadelphia "last week, of which number 100 were children under live years of age—3o were caused by cholera infantum, 27 by dysen tery, 17 by diarrhoea, and 10 by consump tion. The citizens of Brookville, Jefferson county, have been much afflicted of late with a disease which is called dysentery. The last papers of that place record the deaths of some twelve or fourteen for the week, and state that about 30 cases then existed. THE SEVENTH "CENSUS.—The popula tion of Wrightsvillc, York county, is 1309. In 1819 it was 072—increase 037. There are 95 persons in the town over 20 years of age who can neither read nor write, 150 colored persons, and 232 pupils in the schools. Freystown, York county, has a population of 594, being an increase of 258 since 1810. Hanover, in the same county, has 1240, being an increase of 180 since 1840. Woodbury township, Blair county, has a population of 1441. Catharine township 890, and Williams burg Borough 749. The Marshal of Mif flin county is, we believe, engaged in his duties, but thus far we have heard of no results. DROWNED. —On Wednesday morning last, a little girl about live years old, daughter of Samuel Hay, was drowned by falling into the canal near the lock above this place. She was first missed about thine o'clock in the morning, hut as it was supposed she had accompanied some other children after berries, no uneasiness was felt for her until a bucket was found in the canal which site had been seen to have. It was then ascertained that she was not with the other children after berries, and supposing her to be -drowned, the water was drawn out of the canal, and the body was found between the waste-way and the river, it having floated near half a mile, and passed through the gate. — Juniata Register. Correapuiulence of the Deily News WASHINGTON, Aug. ID, 165*1. I have taken some pains to inform myself of the state of feeling which exists in Congress towards President Fillmore and his Cabinet, and become satisfied that the fair-minded members of both branches, and of both political parties, (1 omit as unworthy of mention the abolitionists and disunionists,) entertain high respect for theui, both as individuals and as an administra tion. Thoroughgoing Whigs are enthusiastic in their support of the Chief Magistrate, and the high-toned, patriotic portion of the opposition —which I am proud to acknowledge, is by far the greater portion—seem disposed to ant with liberality and justice towards him. The im pression which the President has already made on the public mind, is highly salutary, and his increasing popularity is evident to all. His prudence, firmness, and patriotism are impressed upon every administrative act, and these quali ties modestly displayed, as they arc by Mr. Fillmore, cannot fail to command the admira tion of the country at large. By a firm and steady progress, Mr. Fillmore has attained his exalted eminence. Great talents, purity of purpose arid action, and unfaltering perse vc rence, have carried him to a height whence his fame and renown will now radiate the world over. The Cabinet has gotten along thus far admi rably. Their movements are spoken of in high praise. Webster is Webster; and what more need be said of hi in ? Corwin is well seated in his " wagon and who shall say the crack of his " whip" will not be heard present ly ; Graham stands at the helm of the Ameri can Navy*, and, "sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish," neither old ocean's billows nor his country's foes can disturb bis firm foot ing. And within hailing dis'anee may Conrad be seen, quietly seated upon his "War Horse;" "did you ever hear of the battle of New Or leans?" The noble McKennan is "at llume." ; Where else should he be? Echo answers, no where. The übiquitous Hall is everywhere. ! Now on horse back, in the Stage Coach, on the Railroad, on board Steamships, all at the same moment; and, certainly, he should he nowhere else. To close the file cotncs the peerless Crit- j tenden, " in all the majesty of the law ; so clear the track for old Kentncky." To be serious, j a better Cabinet could not well be formed ; nor one which would ensure more certainly the re spect and confidence of the public. The Compromise Bill though torn to pieces in 'he Senate, has, nevertheless, in all its essential parts passed that body. There are Senators who, when engaged in the work of defeating ; 'he combined measure, misrepresented their constitueneies knowingly and wilfully. 1 hey d-erve the execration of every lover of the ' nion, and will doubtless receive it. Look at Mason and Hunter, of Virginia, and Houle, of houuiana, arid blush for their shamclessness. 1 l those ' -ill bring it about. I'ANN Telegraphic l>epatcke. From our Exchanges. BOSTON, Aug. ITJ. — A catastrophe of a most melancholy and distressing character occurred yesterday afternoon at Lynnfteld, involving the '*<3 or toufteen- persons, all women and chil ,n one - A large party of men, women, anu children, most of them connected with the ,t christian Society of Lynn, proceeded to -vrinficld ou a pic nic party, and had chosen a dehghttul spot on the borders of a beautiful pond. About 2 o'clock, a party of twenty-five w cnt on board a large Hat bottomed row boat lor an excursion on the pond, and when about one hundred yards from the shore, the boat cap sized, and fourteen of the party were drowned. Ihe disaster has thrown the community of Lynn into the deepest distress. WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—Hon. J. M. Davis, United States Commissioner to China, arrived in this city last night. Edward .M'Cubbin, a barber in Eighth street, while sttiug at his door with his family last night at nine o'clock, received a severe wound in his hand Ironi a horse pistol fired by a negro man at another negro who was escaping from him. The negro was arrested and committed. PHILADELPHIA, August 19—9 P. M. A man named Cliarles Bird, keeping a small jewelry store in Fifth street, near South, was stabbed by u party of rowdies this evening, and injured so badly that be died in a few minutes atterwards. Two well known characters in the southern part of the city are suspected, and will doubtless be arrested before morning. This makes the second murder in our streets during the past forty-eight hours. Hon. Lewis C. Levin was nominated for Con gress to-night by the Native Americans of the First Congressional District. BALTIMORE, Aug. 19 —The bill of mortality this week shows a slight increase over the last. The deaths number 110, of which 92 were chil dren. WHEELING, Aug. 17.—There were three cases, and one death.from cholera icported to-day. From California. NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—The steamer Philadel phia, Capt. Pearson, from Chagres, 7th inst , arrived here this morning with one million of gold dust, bringing dat 3 from Ban Francisco to the lath July. The accounts from the various diggings are favorable. New diggings have been discovered lately, on the upper waters of the Yuba and Feather rivers, which promise well, hut the wa ters are yet too high to work them successfully. A lump of gold and quartz, weighing thirty pounds, has been dug at the dry diggings. In tfce Southern mines many murders have been committed by Chilians and Mexicans upon American miners. The settlement at Trinidad Bay was in a state of conflict with the Indians, and eight had been killed. At Humbolt and Klamath the same difficulties exist, and many Indians have been killed. The first wagon across the plains had arrived at San Francisco, with W. H. Moore, and fam ily, from Indiana. The party started oil their journey on the 10th of April. WASHINGTON, August 14th, 1650. —Portugal has made an offer (under duress) to pay every dollar claimed by the citizens of the United States without deducting a penny ; but she states to Mr. Clay, our Charge at Lisbon, that she did so, not because she was convinced of their justice, but because she had not the means of repelling force by force ; and for this reason she is ready to do anything for the sake of peace. As to tiie Armstrong, she thinks that the obligation of neutrals only consists in this, that they shall not favor one of the belligerants more than another. At the time the Armstrong was taken at Fayal, the British lieet carried 240 guns and 1200 men, the Portuguese had seven dismounted guns and eight artillery soldiers, with one hundred militia, without flint stones, to keep the peace between the belligerants; while John VI., her King, was in Brazil, pro tected by a British fleet, and Portugal had only been saved from the hands of Massena by the Duke of Wellington at Torres Vedras. Before all this the Paris Moniteur, of 11th November, I*o7, had declared that the house of Braganza bad ceased to reign. There was no way of sav ing Portugal but by British assistance, which was freely rendered. If the United States in sists that all neutrals are answerable for dama ges done to our vessels in their ports in time of war, without taking into consideration the means these neutrals may have to make their own rights respected, the consequence will be that in the breaking out of a marine war, they will close their ports to us, and Portugal, I believe, has said so to our diplomatic representative in Lisbon. Otherwise Count d'Ojal, the present minister of foreign affairs, is a man of scrupu lous diplomatic etiquette, and it is yet possible that the quarrel about the Armtrong may be referred to the arbitration of a third power; or that Portugal may average the claim for which provision ought to have been made at the Trea ty of Ghent. Dreadful Tragedy. We learn from the Danville Intelligencer of the ICth inst., that quite an excitement existed in that community for a week past, in conse quence of the mysterious death of a young and I beautiful girl, named Miss Smith, from Luzerne county. Tho circumstances that have come to light show conclusively that there has been foul - play somewhere, and that of the most inhuman and depraved character—indeed of such a na ture as to cause the ruin and death of a young and beautiful girl, at that age when life is so eminently desirable, and which has also caused the inevitable disgrace and unhappiness of a highly respectable family. She was on a visit to a sister residing near Danville, and shortly after her arrival thero was taken dangerously ill —a physician was called, but to no purpose,— and life was fast ebbing away. She seemed to ' be greatly distressed, and after earnest entreaty, she disclosed the cause. Her disclosures irnpli ; eatod two persons in the transaction, who reside in the village where she did—one a lawyer and the other a physician. The latter has since been arrested. We hope, if guilty, they may both receive their just reward at the hands of the law. A resident OF Kittanrng, named JOHN KENNEDY, died on the 9th inst., of Asiatic Cholera, after an illness of about 1H hours. Mr. K. had just returned from Pittsburgh.
