We leara that there were •fifteen cases on beard of the United estates’ sloop •of war Fairfield, none of which, it is presumed, will bo reported hy the Board of Health at Nor- | folk. * • Extract:—;'••Before 1 get to tlio end of this let- . ter, I will inform you of what has been dono by the cholera since the hit report of the Board of Health. I really do uot conceive that wo have, as yet, any cause of alarm, though wo know that tk» destroying angel is among us, is cuongh; the the mere know lodge that there is an epidemic pre vailing iu the town, if it- cuts off but few, yet it preseuis a startling question,- when we como to , reflect, and ask ourselves, who are to bo number ed among this "fowJ" “In Portsmouth it has proved fatal to several persons. In Norfolk, threo tvhito persons only have died: Mr. Munscll, an aged gentlemen, of a • weak constitution, who ha* for somo time had «f diarrhea on him, and a man and his wifo (a very abject couple) recently settled in this place, in a hovel in tlio Adds.

Extraordinary Charm against Cholera.—These threo days past (says it Dublin paper of June 5) the country has been in an extraordinary state of excitement. Mosscngen are running and rid ing through tho counties of Carlow, Kilkcnuy, Wicklow, Westmeath, Dublin, King und Queen’s county, Meath, WdRford, and Longford, leaving a small piece of turf (peat fuel) at every cabin, with the following exhortation: “Tho plague lias broken out; take this, and while it^ burns, offer up seven paters, three fires, and a credo, in the natno of God and tho holy St. John, that the plaguo may ho stopped!” The messenger lays each householder under au “obligation,” as it it called, to kindle his piece of turf, sot fire to seven other pieces, quench them, and run through the country to seven other houses whorein uo turf has yet been left, and to repeat tho same exhor tation, and under a penalty of faliiug a victim to tho cholera himself! .Men, women and children are seen scouring tho country with this charmed turf in every direction, each endeavoring tq bo foremost in findiug unsrrved houses. One man yesterday, iu the Bog of Alien, had to ruu thirty miles ere be could fulfil his task. The stories of its origin arc various, but all agree that one piece of turf was Messed by a priest, mid sent through the peasantry thus, where it multiplied itself and its pon.'rs of agitation sevenfold iu every ticiv baud. Nothing like it Ims been heard ol since the thno of tho clan gatherings. The police are on the alert, mid messengers have been arrested from Kilkenny, where tho blessed turf arrived at uoou ou Monday, to this city, where it came pouring iu last night. The authorities are suspj- emus of Wltitefoot conspiracy and secret intelli gence, but nothing lias transpired vet tu warrant this view- Of the ulUir. Tho higher classy* re ceive tho blessed turf, nml laugh at the thing as *i hoax on the peasantry, w ithout troubling thent- .selvos in-transmitting it further, hut the poorer liimschuldcrs are one uud atl iu motion to avert the cholera, and the curse of disobedience attach ing to uegiort. No one- knows where the holy tiro was first kindled. There are various accounts. It is said that it was first scut from Kihuayuc, from Blcssington, from N< w Ross, and from Kos- orea; that lightning consumed houses in Now Kv**i and that tho holy turf was kittled at its fire, &c. hut it is ccrtaiu (hat tlio whole of the central counties of Ireland are thrown into a sin gular state of agitation. Yesterday, along the whole lino of the grand canal, fruiii Dublin to iijliaiiiioii-lrirlHir. people might be seen running. Tho t'npiain of one of tlio packet boats that arrived in this city last night, saw a turf-enn.-r miming along the huuk ill the Bog of Allen, to whom lie owed somo money for fuel. He called to him,, “Faddy, get in, and 111 pay yon mnv.” “I can't," replied Baddy, still running; “1’vc to servo seven house* yet with the Indy tnrf, and Fd rather lose thu money tlimt earn the cholera.”— The priest*,-into whose parishes this wild fire has spiemlj,confess themselves as ignorant of its ori gin,as the peasantry tire. The Norfolk Herald of the 10th has the follow ing article: IVutcr Melons.—A gentleman ia Portsmouth writes to a friend here:—"As an Illustration of the deleterious quality of water melons, Mr. Ber nard informs me that the day before yesterday he gave some of them to his hogs; iu a short time two of them died; a third sickened and died with three others yesterday. All of them were affect ed with spasms anil vomiting. 1 think your Council did right iu prohibiting this fruit being brought to your Market.” “This fact seems to he worthy of notice, espe cially as the anatomical structure of the hog is said to lie very much like tlmt of the human spe cies—more so than that of any other auimat with which wc are acquainted. Her.gundy Pitch.—Reputed efficacy in Chote- n.—The following is a somewhat singular ex tract from a letter from a gentleman in Glasgotv to Ids friend iu d.cith. “Last night I received from my father, who resides ill Fraukfoit, a proclamation from the Prussian mid Austrian governments, hy which it appears tlmt thu an nexed plaster is a most complete preventive a- gaiust die cholera; of 10,01)3 people who have put them ou, uot one has been attacked, though mtltu midst of thu disease. 1 have immediately communicated this simple preventive to our Board of Health who highly approved of it, aud are getting them made hy thousands. The plas ter alluded to is of burgundy pitch, commonly called strengthening plaster; the upper part of a peaked form to he put on the chest and tho lower part expanded, aud to cover the pit of the stom ach.” The “Burgundy Pitch Plaster,” is getting into general use in the city iunoiig all classes, and wc are of opinion that twenty five cents caunot-he more judiciously expended than iu the immediate purchase and applying of one of these articles to the stomach and breast; for-it is universally ac knowledged that its trial can do uo liarm, mid may lie a preventive agaiust the prevailing epidemic —Philadelphia Suturday Courier. LATE FROM EUROPE. Charleston, Aco. 13. By the Br. ship Lady Routma, Capt. Jones, arrived ou Saturday last, we have received our regular files of Liverpool papurs to thu 28th June, Loudon papers to the 27th, and Lloyd’s uud Lon don Shipping Lists to the 25tlt, all inclusive. The Cotton market, had improved a little, and a very good business doing. * The MU to -abolish tho puuishmcnt of death in cases of forgery r.itd other felonies, was undergo ing a warm discussinu iu the house of Lords, the Chancellor, Locd Brougham, being iu favor of the measure, mid Lord Tenterden, present Chief justice of the King’s Bcuch, uud Lord El don. being against it. Tlie eiectious for members of tho reformed par liament were about to he carried ou with much spirit. Tlio tono of tlio Whig Press is decidedly hostile to the Bauk of Euglatid, as at present chartered. France appears to bo in a more tranquil state; mid it was oxpcctcd that an ordinnuco would be issued on the 25tb Juue, raising the siege of Par is. The Viscoant Chatebacriand has addressed a letter from his prison to the editor of the Quo tidieune, iu which he recognizes the Government of Louis Philip as only a Government de facto, to w hich he is respousihle only for social but uot political crimes, tio declares/ therefore, that ho will uot recognize tho tribunals before which he is about to be dragged, not even so far as to tell his uamc, aud remarks that to his “present si lence they may add, if they please, tlie silence of eternity.” The Duke Fits James has put forth a similar document. Tho King of Eugland wag assaulted at the As cot Heath Races, oo tho 16th June, hy a dischar- S ;ed pensioner of the Greenwich Hospital. The cllow threw two stones iu rapid succession at Ids Majesty, one of which struck his hn and the oth er tho cascmeut of the window at which he stood, fortunately, however, be was uot injured. The offender was immediately taken iuto custody. Au address to tho Kiug had been agreed on by both Houses of Parliament, in reference to this outrage on Ids “sacred person.” ’” Tho Cholera has again broken out with great virulence iu Loudon and Dublin. Liverpool, York aud Chatham are tulferiiig under its inflic tions, aud in Ireland generally its ravages are awfully cxtemlcd. New York, August 11, At half past I o’clock, yesterday, our news schooner, EvcningKditioucamo up from packet ship Ontario, Capt. tiehor, bringing us Ixmdon W s to the owning of Jung.30, ami Portsmouth y 2, iuclucivo. For tlio latest dales wc are indebted to Capt. Sckor. At the close of our extracts we have given a highly interesting, aud tvo may say, important de bate, which took placo in tlie British llouso of Commons on tho 26th of June, relative to tho af fairs of Poland. Tito tone of tlie speakers, with vory few exceptions, is ono of uniningled indig. nation and defiance. In fact; we should infer from the strong language used, that a war with Russia was rathor coveted than otherwise,—sun- ported, as Eugtand knows sho would be, by the powor off ranee... Wo however ma\e no predic tions. Tho cholera was increasing in Paris. Tho London Courier of tho 2Qth states that it has bro ken out with great violchco in tho House of Cor rection, Cold Bath Fields. Seventeen prisoners died on tho 28th. London, June 29.—As tho cholera, which it was hoped, had nearly left tho csnital. b«i V-'y begun to rcucwjt* ravages, it is highly important that every proper precaution should ho attendant, and particularly that parishes aud water compa nies should look to tho frequent and thorough demising of streets, sewers nud dust holes. On the evening of the 2!)th, in the House of Commons, the Chancellor of the Exchequer nru- iposcd a loan of £1,000,000 to those of thw Brit ish West India Islands who have recently suffer ed from hurricanes and servile insurrections. He stated that tlie losses sustained iu cmisonlictice el the calamities wereas follows: Jamaica £633,170; Barbadocs §1,151,000; St. Lucia £81.000; St. Vincent §220.271. He proposed t<- appropriate one half of the loan to Jamaica, and the other half to (lie oilic^slnuds. After some dSmte, tho appropriation was car ried in conmdttco of the tv hole. London, June 30.—At the dale of tlio late ac counts from Vienna, the death of tlio Young Na poleon was hourly expected. Parliament is expected to rise tlie first week iu August; hut tho dissolution under the new order of tilings, cannot take plucu before tho hrgiuniug of November. Liverpool. June 28.—Wo continue to lmvo a good demand for Cotton, ami tho sales today a- inount to 3,000 hags lint without any change iu thu price*. LATER FROM LIVERPOOL. By thq packet ship Hibernia. Capt. Maxwell, (says the New York Journal of Commerce,) we have received Liverpool papers to June 30th, in clusive. The 1st July being .Sunday, uo paper was published. The Cholera appeared to be rather abating in Liverpool. New eases ou the 27th, 58, deaths 19; 29th, new cases 44, deaths 12. A Liverpool paper of the 30th says, “The Dublin papers inform us that the cholera is still on tho increase in that ei*y. It Ims extended its ravages to the comfortable and affluent classes.” Total cases in Behind 12,121; deaths 4,0.40. Tho Cholera lias been formally announced as existing in Manchester. Two orthree fatal cases have occurred at Stockport.. Advance in H'ages of Flannel Weavers.—80 great has recently Item the 'demand for flannel goods which are the principal 'manufacture at tho village of Milm-ow, near Rochdale, and whence large quantities are scut for exportation, that last week, we understand, mi advance in the prices of weaving these goods was made, to the amount of -id. in the shilling. This advance has not been effected l>y any intimidation (w hich on the con trary usually defeats the object sought,) hut was voluntarily made hy thu manufacturers of that place. Latest from Bogota—We have (says the New York Journal ofCoiuinerce of the 7th inst.) re ceived, via. Jamaica, Bogota papers to tho lOtli Juue. They contain intelligence of tho cholera having made its appearance in Chili. This fatal news, snvs the Bulletin de Popnynn, has just reached ns, and wc consider ourselves" un der obligation to give it immedinto publicity. A letter fiann Santiago de Chili, from an tiuqucs- ticmahWionree, dated 12th Feb. says, “An epidemic called scarlnutina or cholera morbus, has made its nppcaraucc in this enuntry, with so much violence, that people die in the streets in a few minutes after Icnving tlicir houses. By the mail just arrived from Valparaiso, wc learn .that 303persons Imvc died in that city tu 8 days; and during tile present weak 591 have died iu this capital.” Portau Prince.—By theschooucr Spccie, Cap tain Lambert, we have received INtrt nn Prince papers of the 8th and lfilli July, from which wc learn that place has been devastated by a most extensive conflagration, which commenced on the dill. On tlmt day the fire broke out :n a house iu ruins, situated opposite the barracks of tho President's Guard, aud extended to the seashore, consuming on its passage every thing it cheouu- tered—tlie wind was high, and blew from tlio cast, uorthenst and north. The ravages made by the flames exceed those of the lfith of August 1620, and lfltlt of Doccmlicr, 1825, together.— The houses iu sixteen entire streets were on fire, those on fourteen are wholly destroyed anil those in the two others are very nearly so. Notw ith standing it was Sunday and the country people for ten utiles rouud were generally in town—not withstanding tlio ratlilnry corns of Port nn Prince had just paraded before tile fire commenced, all their efforts to stop it proved ineffectual, mid it ouly reased in couscquctico of having nothing more to consume. Tho water iu the fountains had been stopped for some uitknowu cause.— More than a thousand pcople nre wititout a shel ter, and tlie place is said to have the appearance of a town tnkcu by assault, in which the combat ants disputed their prey mid their boot) iu every street. On tho 14th, nt half past otto in the mor- uing, a false alarm of lire was made, the object of winch itwos soon perceived was to pillage the mer chandize that was exposed. At 2 o’clock iff the afternoon of that day a firs did actually again break out in the Ccutrestrcct, hut it was soon ex tinguished. From Colombia.—By tlie brig Medina, Captain Half, (says tho N. Y. Jour, of Commerce,) we have received Carthagcna papers to the 6th July. Their coutents are uninteresting. Gouoral Santander, Presidsnt Elect of Colom bia. arrived at Snntlia Martha on the Kith July, having sailed from this port iu the brig Montilla, 23d Juue, In a letter to the Governor of Santa Martha, dated New York. May 31, he announced his expectation of lauding at that port, and ex pressed a wish that the usual expensive formali ties on lira reccptinu of public characters iu that couutry, .-.ight lie dispensed with. Tho differences with tho Republic of Ecqua- dor. over which Gcueral Flores presides, appear to bo iu a traiu of amicaMe adjustment. From the Detroit Journal, Aug. 1. INTELLIGENCE FROM THE FRONTIER. By au express which arrived here Inst Sunday, wo have dates from Chicago as Into ns llic 24th nit. The William Penu had reached that place with 4 companies of troops, nud we are happy to learn no case of sickliest occurred while on the voyage. Two or threo cases of cholera occurred, however soon after the troops had lauded, aud about tho same number hud occurred Ratting those uuder the command of Major Whistler. A fow of tho citizcus had been attacked with tin- common disease, hut it tvas not apprehended that it would spread much. The general health of tlio troops was much improved. Theschoou- ere Huron, Commerce, and Mareugo, freighted with public stores, had arrived; mid the NupolSon was near at baud. Intelligence from Gen.
