The cholera was greatly increasing in Eng. land. The deaths for the week ending the 8i h instant, in London, wer YT96, of which 1663 were of cholera. In Liverpool, tho deaths by cholera were said to be greater, in proportion, than in any part of England. In Dublin it was on the increase. Several distinguished porsons have died of cholera in Paris and other parts of Frunce. Vienna and Berlin are at the present timo Buffering more than Paris. At Berlin the deaths are wore than 40 per day. Themnrketsarediill, without much change. The weather for harvesting was fine in all Great Britain. The Liverpool Journal of the 8th says: "The harvest- hag been nearly safely hou.cd( and is pronounced abnndant, as the potato is redundant and is so fur exempted from rot " Trade is active, but not lucrative, and em ployment in the manufacturing districts awaits all who desire it.

A young man, Georce, son of Mr. Jacob Keiler, residing in the victnity of Hopewell Furnace and Birdsborough, Union township, was bitten by a Rattle-snake, on Thursday the th inst., under the following circumslan ces: He caught the snake near the hoobe. and pinned it to the earth with a stick, just as it was in the act of escaping among me rocks, which concealed the head and a large part of its body, and then took out his knife to sever the rattles from its tall, the snake, in its struggles released its head from the rocks, and struck its fan gs into the end of one of hi fingers. With great presence of mind he immediately cut t.he litteu part from his fin ger, and lied it wJth a string to prevent the the spread of the po ison through the system.

In speaking of the defici ency of flection proclamations last week, as published in some counties, we inadver tently referred to the vote on the amend, ments to the constitution.

He took him from his pasture field, along the river, below town, on Monday night last ; at the same time helping himself to a wa gon saddle from the stable of Mr. Hend' ricks. The state, it should be recollected, pays a reward of twenty dollars and six cents per mile, for the apprehension and conviction of the thief. K7" We are indebted to Hon. James Pollock, lor a copy of the Patent Office Re port for ISIS, handsomely bound. As friend Pollock's congressional career is near its close, we embrace this, as a fitting op portunity, to make our acknowledgements for his many favors and his prompt atten tion to all matters of business entrusted to him during his term. It is but sheer justice to Mr. Pollock, though a political opponent, to say that he has most ably and faithfully represented the thirteenth district while in Congress, and that in retiring from office, it must be to him a proud satisfaction to know that his course of conduct has met the most general approval. KFTire. We regret to learn that the barn on the premises occupied by Jacob Yordy, in Sliamokin township, was con sumed by fire on Sunday last, together with his oats and about 25 tons of hay. The fire commenced in the straw near the barn, and was, it is supposed, ignited by a box of matches that had been lost in it while threshing. The barn, we believe, is the property of Mr. Dennis Woolverton and Mr. John Houghawout. QT"Fine Peachks.

FILLER; In another article toe have adverted to this gentleman' frant of capacity for a proper discharge df the duties of the office of Canal Commissloher-i-a post as impor tant, we may safely soy, as any other with in the gilt of tho people of this State. This of itself should be and we feel confident it will be an insuperable objection to his elevation to the Canal Board. But there are other objections to the man if not so serious, they are more obnoxious In the eyes of those who love an independent spirit, Mr. Fuller, our readers are already aware, was a member of the last legislature. The "masterly inactivity" he preserved on the questions which ho knew would be fully investigated by an intelligent consttt uencv, shows him to be a man who is keenly alive to his own advancement, if not to the best interests of the State. We submit it to the candor of every intelligent reader whether this is not the most liberal construction we can put upon his conduct, when it is known that he dodged the vote on the School Law, the Militia Lav, and the Exemption Law all of which acts a large majority of onr German friends are deadly opposed to. For the truth of this statement see House Journal of last session. Like a patriotic legislator, he should have been independent enough to have shown his hand on these questions. He should have given them a warm support, or a manly opposition. This was his plain duty; but he chose rather to act the part of a shuffling politician than that of the hon est public servant. Who, we ask, can have confidence in a man like this? We ap peal, therefore, to the independent voters of this county, to say whether they will support him in preference to John A. Gam ble, who has not only the firmness and moral courage to act boldly in any emer gency, but who has the ability and practi cal experience to adorn the station for which he has been nominated. CANAL COMMISSIONER. We are glad to see that the people of this State are alive to the importance of se lecting good men to fill the responsible post of Canal Commissioner. When a conven tion, therefore, fails to put in nomination a fit and proper person for this office, it is un reasonable to expect that they will give it any encouragement. While we can refer with pride to the happy selection of John A. Gamble, as our candidate, we know our whig friends very sensibly feel the unfor tunate choice of Henry M. Fuller as their nominee. The capacity of Mr. Gam ble for a faithful and efficient performance of the duties of the office, is everywhere known, while, on the other hand, Mr. Ful ler lacks the necessary experience, although a respectable lawyer. The most extrava gant eulogists of Mr. Fuller do not pretend that he has the qualifications and experi ence of Mr. Gamble. This fact will be remembered by the democracy at the polls on the second Tuesday of October. We have in our candidate those quali ties that arc absolutely necessary in a Canal Commissioner. Mr. Gamble possesses a practical mind, an enlarged experience, a thorough acquaintance with our public works, and, not the least important, a cha. racter above suspicion and reproach. His opponent is a young lawyer, bred in the ap of luxury, without any practical expe. rience, without any knowledge of our ex. tensive public improvements, and with no thing to recommend him to the honest yeo manry of this State save a "fancy intel. lect," better adapted to lighter and less im portant duties than are to be found in the office of the Canal Board. inON BAILS. The Montour Iron Company, it is said, are making and offering rails at fifty dol lars per ton. This is a very low price, and can only be done by great reduction ot wages. 1 lie Harnsuurg railroad having; purchased a quantity of English rails at 15 per ton, but finding the Danville rails so much superior, are now completing the road with the latter. We presume the American rail is, in reality, worth doubly as much more as the difference of cost, but that does not prevent many companies giving the English article a preference to our own, upon a principle of false economy, in the nrst saving, lue consequence is we must stop our own iron works, throw our own people out of employment, and send large sums of money to England for an article inferior to our own, at a higher price, when the intrinsic value of the iron is considered. HyCaptain Loksek, who was in Mex ico at the head of the Reading company, died at Philadelphia last week of disease contracted in Mexico.

Father Ritchie; ol Ihe Washington Union; is freqiiehtly involved iri trouble on account of his Want of merhoryv and conse queritly want df fconsistency In 1829, When editor of Ihfc Richmond Enquirer, he published a letter from his Washington cor respomh'tif, Which staled that Gen. Jack son's cabinet was about to enter upon a "searching and impartial investigation" for the purpose of turning out of office all such officers who had interfered in the elections. Now for the joke. The Richmond Whig, prompted by the complains of Mr. Ritchie against General Taylor's administration for its removal of office-holders, wickedly pub lished a letter a few weeks ago purporting to come from its Washington correspon dent, but which was in truth a copy of the very letter originally published by the same Mr. Ritchie in the Enquirer of 1829 date and names only being changed. Many not understanding the ruse, expressed much surprise, on reading the epistle, (supposing it to be authentic,) that General Taylor should have thought of entering upon such a sweeping system of'proscription; and Mr, Ritchie himself not recognizing; his own offspring, thus revived eagerly seized upon it as an evidence of a "secret and infamous system of espionage, the most abominable of all the devices of tyrants." "a base and shameful invocation to the friends of the administration in the country to become spies and informers against their democrat ic neighbors" "a ferocious spirit of pro scription which can find its parallel only among the brutal and sanguinary human butchers of the French Revolution of 1708." "We invoke the American peo ple to contemplate the nature and tendency of this monstrous and detestable system," &c, etc. Circumstances certainly do alter cases, and Father Ritchie should be careful how he abuses himself and his friends. m:uide. The Union county papers record the death of Daniel Hummel of Union township who committed suicide on Tuesday last by cut ting his throat. The Samaritan says ho had been a hard drinker, and was laboring under delirium tremens, and on that day went to a neighbor to get him to plough some ground for him. He stated that he had to hasten home as there were several individuals wait- ng for him who wanted to kill him. When ho reached home, he got his razor and in the presence of his wifo endeavored to cut his throat. She succeeded in getting the razor from him. Ho then went into the garden and got an old scythe with which ho cut several gashes across his throat. His wifo wrested the scythe from him. At last ho suc ceeded in getting an old case knife, with which, in sight of his wife, ho severed tho two lary;e arteries at the neck, and then ad vanced toward his wife, but fell down from oss of blood bofore he reached her, and in a short time expired !

The affair of the French Minister is by no means the only matter and certainly not the most important, that has been before the Cabinet at Washington, tt is now staled that a not very cordial correspondence has beon geing on between our government and Mr. Lrampton, who, in the absence of Sn Henry Lytton Bulwer, represents Her British Majesty in this country. This correspondence has nrisen out of the interference of Great Britain In Central America in that part of the east coast, rather, that is known ns the Mosquito king dom, tt is well known that tho government of Nicaragua had granted to nn American Company, the right of constructing a water communication between the Atlantic and Pacific, bv way of the river Snn Juan nnd Lake Nicaragua. A young Indian Chief, callins himself the Kinn of tho Mosquitoes, has put in a claim of sovereignty over the greater part of the territory through which the San Juan runs, including tho port of Grey Town, at its mouth. In his pretensions to this sovereignty ho has been sustained by the British government, which had guaran' tied tho integrity cf this territory to the sav age potentate. Accordingly, some timo since. the British Consul at New York informed the Company who claimed the right to go on with the canal, that the Government of m carauga had no right to confer the privileges thoy claimed. The matter was then referred to the au thorities at Washington, and a correspon dence commenced between our Secretary of State nnd the British representative, in which it is said that the latter has sustained the British side of tho question very firmly, while on the other hand, our government has been equally firm in upholding the just claims of American citizens. The details of this correspondence have not yet leaked nut through any of the organs of the administra tion ; but, it is stated, that our relations with F.ngland are assuming lather a threatening aspect. For our part, we have no doubt that this affair, as well as that of the. French Min ister, will be soon settled, without any dan ger of a rupture between tho two govern ments. At the samo time, we shall sustain the administration, as will all good citizens, in their decided assertion of the rights of our countrymen. Bulletin. iionnini.r trwrpv in tif. limits COUNTY ALMSIIOrSE. Tho hospital of the Berks County Poor house has been the scene of a bloody t rased y, which is almost unparallellod in the history of human actions, involving tho destruction of a family, consisting of a wife nnd daugh ter, by the father, and his death by suicide, after ho had inflicted dreadful wounds upon tho head and throat of the wife, with a razor and hammer, and severing tho throat of the daughter, a girl somo 18 years old, with the same instrument. This shocking nnd san guinary deed was committed in one of the chambers of the Hospital, occupied by the unfortunate victims for the last ten months, on Saturday evening last, between 7 and S o'clock. His name is Fredkhick Staiii., a native of Germany, and his conduct has always been marked with propriety, but may have been led to the act by the hopeless con dition of the wife, who is insane, ami that of his daughter, long confined to her bed by lameness, and unable to utter a word. The wife made her escape from the rhambeii with her neck dreadfully lacerated by tho razor, and her head battered with tho ham mer, the handle of which broko in his hands. When tho overseer entered, he found Stahl reeling to the floor, and instantly expired the daughter lay in her gore on tho bed, with her throat cut from ear to ear. The Coroner, Dr. Witmak, held an inquest on tho bodies, and the jury reported in accordance with the facts as here related. Berks County Press. Butler vs. Bi'H.kk.

Mr. Editor : I am pleased to see that "we the people" who are deeply interested in the matter aro going to have a choice in the selection of a Cou'ity Treasurer, and that JACOB YOUNG, of Sunbury, has consented to become the people's candidate. Mr Young is a man of family, sober and indus trious and has always borne an irreproachable character. Disease and a broken constitu tion have of late years borne heavily upon him, and renders him incapable of perform iug the labor to which he was accustomed. Now I do not pretend to say anything against Mr. Youngman, his opponent. It is enough for me to know that Mr. Young is an older man a man of a family who are de pendent upon him for support that he is fully as competent and that he would give most general satisfaction. The office of County Treasurer ought never to be consider ed a political office. It is an office created strictly for the accommodation and use of the people of the county, and as a democrat 1 feel that I am but performing my duty in supporting Mr. Young, a deserving and worthy man, instead of Mr. Youngman, a young man without a family and none to take care of but himself.

SMITH, piutor of the Prosbvterian congregations of Northumberland and Sunbury, aged 58 years. He is gone! The beloved pastor who for more than twenty five years ministered to his little flock has been summoned home cal led to his reward taken where he so much longed to be - to happiness and heaven.-' 'Then how wilt thou do in tho swellings of Jordan" were the words of this beloved pas tor to his people as they gathered around him on the Inst sabbath he ministered to them in the sanctuary. Litllo they dreamed they were listening to the last warning, that voice should ever sound to them on earth, that the hand so ofton raised in kindly expostulation and reproof, would so soon bo cold in death- thai those eyes that had so often wept bitter tears over their backslidings and sins, would weep no more for them for ever. The last warning was sounded. The last prayer offer ed and consigning his beloved charge to his heavenly fathers caie, the faithful pastor tur ned his face to tho wall and lay dowrr upon his bed of death. His work was all done his mission was fulfilled tho silver cord was loosened tho pitcher broken at the fountain. In God's mysterious Providence, example was added to tho precepts ho had endeavored to instil into his peoples hearts. Their pastor was to be their bright guide through the deep waters of JurJan to the gales of the eclcstia city. The earthly ties that knit our pastor to his heople aro all broken noie, they were of pecu liar and enduring strength, he was endeared to many hearts. The joung had grown old under his ministrations unconscious infancy whom ho had blessed in his Father's name, had sprung into vigorous manhood the gray hair had deepened into white on the brows of the aged. For long years he had gone in and out before his peoplo he had buried their dead, baptized their children and had welcomed tliem to the table ot the Lord Ii is Master he was their spi lit ual guide endeared by countless associations and sabbath alter sabbath for many years had stood before his people, pointing to the Saviour whom he lov ed and in whose bosom we believe he is now eposiug. In a retired quiet nook, soperated only by tho Church wall from his old pulpit homeand in tho very spot his own hand had marked out, rests all that was mortal of our departed pastor. Tho first summer leaves had only began to fade, when those who had so loved and revered him while living, were called by the slowly tolling bell, to consign his body to its mother earth. I'p tho aisle where nev er more his footsteps would sound he was once inoro borne and his bodv rested lor a little time under tho shadow of the very pul pit, (now draped in mourning) from whence his warnings had been so often and so faith fully been proclaimed. I'nder the pleasant shade of trees his grave was made and with tearful eyes and troubled hearts, the many who had loved him here, his bereaved fiiends. I is sorrowing brethern in tho Lord and his ! stricken people, consigned him to his last i ong home. i The fulling leaves liko him too are passins away, spring will rorrw again with lresti i buds and blossoms; but the snows of many j winters will fall, the suns of many sminneis shine upon his grave and ho will no more re- I Minn" will eomo :i";iin Willi lresti turn to us. God grant that when we are sum moned to pass the swelling waters of Jordan the Hock for whose conversion he so faith fully labored on earth may be jewels in his crown of glory and shine like stars for ever and ever.
