For a few days past we have had co'd Weather, and on Sunday night a frost. Since this weatia-r has commenced, our pli ysicians have noticed a considerable a meliera'ion in the type of the fever which has di-wdaied our city, but yet dif fer as to recommending a removal into town of those who are but a few miles distant. -Should this be succeeded by hot weather, as is often the case, a re turn would be,certainly imprudent. Those of our citizens now in the north , eru section of pur country, may return, ■we think, with safety to themselvea and •families. The number pf interments in , our city for the last three days have been t fifteen, of which six are children not « jo years of age, and three from the Poor ’House and Hospital We have just learned from a source • enti.led to the fu)tfst credit, that the new Government nf Spain have refused to cede the Floridas to the United States, or in other words, to sanction the treaty enter ed into by their minister to this country. A communication of this nature has, no doubt, been made to our government, by our minister at the court of Madrid.— This intelligence comes byway of Hava, na.— Sav. Georgian.

Halt,more Morning Chronicle, Colonization. —As this is an age of ex periments, and the flirt attempted at colonizing Africa with blacks from this country has had an unfortunate lennina tion, why lotjmake an experiment at llavti ? Experience baa not only tested the permanency of Uhp black government , at llavti, but it has proved inconteatibly, thatth*; government is well administered as to good faith, morals and religion j and the king has expressed his perfect, will ingness to receive and provide for any portion of our black' population disposed to emigrate to St. Domingo. Our peo ple of color fear that King Henry will ipake them soldiers; but they have the prospect of advancement, and their liaz i ards collectively are not as great as those with which they must contend irt Africa. The government of Hayti is extremely civilized, and that country possesses men of talents and enterprize. The subject is worthy of consideration. N. T. Nat- Advocate. THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION 1 •' 1 The Election of Fdectora of President Vice President of the United States, which is soou.to take place, comes on with so gentle an aspect, and with a step so light, that its approach is scarcely notic ed.

Ghsbxock, Sept. 5. We are again obliged tp occupy nearly three fourths of our columns in detailing tl»e evidence on the trial of the Queen. Part of Wednesday, and the . whole of the three following days, were occupied in the examination and cross-animation of Mademoiselle Dumont, a chambermaid .in the service of her Majesty during three years of her residence on the Continent. The cross-examination of this witness is interesting. Some of the London jour nals have asserted that no other evidence would be called on the part of the prose cution , blit that the house of lords would immediately adjourn until a suffi cient lime had elapsed for collecting and bringing forward the Queen’s exculpa, tory proof; and in confirmation of this an Edinburgh paper of yesterday states, that vend Peers are expected in our northern metropolis “in the course of this or next week, and that Mr. Brougham ia expected in Westmoreland about the same time.” We mention these reports with out placing any confidence in their accu racy, as do not think it all probable that the prosneutor’a case will be thus prematurely closed, while so much doubt hangs over the testimony of those hith erto brought forward, and so many wit nesses yet remain to beexamined. The political aspect of Prance, and in deed of the whole Continent, is at present far from tranquil. Austria is pouring troops into Italy. Sicily is literally eon vttlsed with internal distentions, and the newly obtained freedom of the Neapoli tans trembles in its seat. We hope there ominous appearance* may yet retire Iron the politics! horizon, and leave the co li lies, over which they are now brooding unscathed ; but our fears, we are sorry to say, are much stronger than our hope ; ami our surprise will- ne much greater it bey escape, than to find them bc.com' .bo Mcnezol resmouoo and bloodshed. u of i mnee. % r nearly taken up i *■; I k : Miv We can collect but ' 1 iin I «■. in 4'h (rue chancier o> i.
