(evidently,) bad been bathing, and, were about
to return home, when their attention was attracted,
by the appearance of a large vessel—a sloop of
war-;-which had cast anchor:in the Skerries roads.

CRLPTIII II
The Parentage of our Hero—The Pottingers
- Then said the mother to her son,
And pointed to the shield,
Come with it when the battle's won ,
Or on it from the field.
Twenty•lane years had the father of William
Hay MeNaughten held the supreme power of the
East india Company, in their immense territories,
He was the representative of majesty in all that
pertained to the rule and government of one hun
dred and fifty-two millions of British subjects.
Honorably, and with the strictest integrity, had
he discharged the arduous duties of his several
offices, so that when he returned to his native land,
at the expiration of his appointment, he left behind
him many mementos of his wise and upright
goierninent, and the number of influential friends
Who regretted his departure were not a few. Ben
'gat, Bombay, and Madras, the principal seats of
his legislation and authority, were profuse in their
expressions of sorrow, ands general feeling of sin
cere, regret pervaded through all classes in that
wide-spread dominion. In committing his first
born son, therefore, to the charge of the company
which he had so faithfully served; he experienced
not the slightest reluctance.
In early life, the mother of our hero, by her
virtuous qualities, shone forth as a star of the first
magnitude, and secured for herself the favor of the
British. 'Queen, ihose court she adorned in the ca-
pacity of maid of honor to Her Majesty. She,
too, sacrificed domestic happiness at the shrine of
duty, with a willing heart; and though her boy
was merely entering his teens, when the hour of
departure came, she yielded to the call of honor,
and permitted him to depart from that threshold
which he should never cross again. The parting
was a sad and tender one, and we shall not at•
tempt to destribe it. The •venerable father gave
him his Ovine and blessing, and
"The Spartan mother showed her parting son
Theline otglory which his sire had run;
'My son, thy Sight alone I *hull deplorel
Return r ieturious, or return no more!'"
Soon the green island of his infant home rece
ded from his view, and the white cliffs of Albion
faded into ether astern of the gallant bark which
was to bear hinito his future abode in the torrid
sone. When the land was no longer in view, his
thoughts turned to the light of other days," which
was bursting forth upon his imagination, and he
began, for the first time, to contemplate the
importance that would be hereafter attached to
his every. word and his every' action. Here be
was,'promising to himself riches, and honor, and
power, and length of happy days; in short, every
earthly happiness, uninterrupted by a cloud of
sorrow; and it is right to add, he made a firm 're
solution, now, in the outset of his career, lo be
guided by justice and equity in his judgment, and
to mist, as far as in his power lay, to extend also
the kingdom of his heavenly Father. A freshening
. -
land breeze filled the sails of the noble craft which
bore him from his home, and she was soon " alone
on the unconscious sea."
His two comrades, whom we left on their re-
turn to Boshbank, reached home safely, abd shortly
afterwards they removed; with their father, to his
more extensive seat at Mount Pottinger, near Bel.
fast. Political agitation running - high at this pe.
rind, a commission was obtained for the younger
Pottinger ; nor was it long before he obtained his
lieutenancy; Several years of his life passed over
in such a manner as does not necessarily belong
to 'our narration, and we need only state that he
was promoted to be captain, in time barely sum.
cient to procure an outfit, when the. regiment to
which he was attached was ordered on foreign
service—its destination, India. 'Then he thought
of his comrade of other days, and of the conver
sation betwixt him and his brother Henery, about
the Lion of Judah. "Perhaps," thought he, " I
may yet learn to take an interest in the subject,
for I am quite sure that I love the flag of our
country as well as he does, and as for the exten
sion of missionary enterprise, I will do any thing
and every 'thing I can to promote its object. I
cannot see, however, how _he appropriates every
passage of Scripture, suited to the church of God,
in the way be does, to passing events connected
with British history. The , quotations he rises are
_applicable to individual believers, and to the
christian chdrch, as a body, but 1 have yet to
learn that they were intended for' Great -Britain,
as a nation, or for any sect or section of worship
pers in particular. However, I'll see to it."

We have been favored with; the follfiwing leiter

es. We presume, however, that the"...revages of the
Cholera are felt by the floatiagpopulahon more than
by the staid and respectable citizens, whose man
ners of living are temperate and in all way, adapted
to the peculiar circumstances that surround thein.
The newspapers of New Orleans, doubtless, put
the best face upon the conditifin of thiagt; in the city.
The daily reports of the Board of Health do not at .
this distance seem very alarming: These are all
the items they give in reference to the Choleici. They .
do not depict its progress and the extent of its de
structiveness, as do such private letters as we pub
lish below. To these we refer for the mbst reliable
information.
But we have reason to believe that tho people of
New Orleans have experienced the worst. The
weather there has been unusually warm—‘-and.much
rain has fallen. That a change has takeia place we

New Oaczam, December 22, 1848.
Dear Friends :.--I have passed through' many se
vere trials in my life, but none that came up to the
one through which my family and myself have pas
sed for the last week. 1 trust. in God we ere all
saltily through; but never have I seen such conster
nation in any city. The real epidemic Cholera has
been in our city for at least a week, and hag; taken
of hundreds. My family and myielt have been and
still are in ecceltent health; for which, under the
circumstances, we ought to be very thankful. My
business was such that I could not leave tire city,
and my wife would not leave without me. The
weather here has been, for the season, unprmedent
ly warm, which is supposed to have been toe cause
of the fatality of the disease,; but it is colder, and
I bops the worst is over. Business is ate stand. No
one thinks of anything but Cholera and Death.
Thousands have loathe city. Hundreds are leaving
daily. No one will stay who can leave. I must
stay. I hope to get through, and be delivered from
the pestilence that walkoth in darkness, and. the de

William Dandridge Eppel:, who wan hanged al
Richmond on Friday, was, dressed in Mid grave
clothes, all white, sad, with the exception of pale
.
nese produced by confinement, looked remorkable
well. His carriage' was erect and his step firm.
Rev. Mr. Withers addressed the multitude, closing
with CL prayer. The prisoner then mounted thecayt,
and in a clear, audible voice, indicating no aignsof
emotion, made the fbßowing remarka
Gentlemen--It was not my object to have any
thing to say on the present , occasion, but as it may
do good I have determined to say something. I
have been charged with the murder of a bog dro
ver—l have been charged with the murder of my
mother,in-law—l have been charged with the mur
der of my own son—and I have been cluirge.i with
the murder of my (mu 'errant; but gentlemen, all
these charges are false—a ll false. Would to, od I
could say as much of that other charge. Bat of that
I am guilty. I murdered Francis Adolphus -Muir.
!murdered/Dm- lie fell by my- hand. I have re
gretted the act ever since D was committed—it has
been before my eyes ever ince. I have the gratifi
cation to state that I believe he is In heaven, and I
trust I may meet him there. - his dying moments
he said he hoped to meet me there. I hope I shall
meet him there, and I believe' will meetiiim there,
for I trust in God's proinises. 3entlemen-1 have
seen better days, and many of you know it. But
when the tempter la wooled we know not what we
may do. Lhope that my fate may be a warning to
you to shun my example. I leave this world at
peace with all mankind. I feel that .I am a; peace
with my God. I truss to meet you all in heaven."
While the preliminaries*Hne arranging, ihecrim
inal displayed the same fortitude as he had shown
throughout the trial, and at the pronounciation of
the sentence. 'While the' bandage was being tied
over his eyes, he muttered,
°Ashes to ashes, dust to dun:"
and all things being ready, the cart was moved, and
immediately the soul of William Dandridge Eppel
,
was in the presence of its creator and it. judge.
He died with scarcely a :draggle.

"The poor ye have, with you always," says the
good volume ; and now that cold winter has visited
us in earnest, would it not be well for our citizens
to adopt measures, without delay, for the protection
of that unfortunate,class who are suffering for want
of food, fuel and clothing. We have Poor folios
and Poor uardians, hut these are not sufficient.

the'duty of every
