The arrangement was made sometime since with Col. Tait, of Cherokee County. We are sorry to see it stated in Bonn; of the papers that our accomplished and beautiful country woman, Anna Cora aIowatt, was, at last dates, lying in a very low state of health, nt Chelsea, fifteen miles from London, from a renewed attack ofhemorr- ago of the lungs, followed by ulceration of the throat. Her husband was also ill, at the water-cure establish ment ut Malvern. . Sir Henry Bulwer, it is rumored, immediately on hearing of Mr. Webster’s appointment as Secretary of State, wrote him a letter of congratulation, most fe. licitouely expressed. He congratulated not only our own Government, for the appointment, but expressed the great satisfaction his own government, and al] other governments of the world, would feel on hear ing the intelligence. Accounts from Havana state that the Cap tain of the Gvorgiana, now iu confinement there, has become insane. We may soon expect to see some oftheContoy prisoners, as forty-two of them arc said to have sailed in the U. 8, steamer Vixen for Pensacola on the 16th inst. The N.

It is not what the Tribune wanted, but it was wil ling to take it as thejirstthing which could be hud. 137* Edward Everett, of Massachusetts, a Boston paper suggests, will probably bo appointed by Gov.

Important Movement in Ohio. A memorial, numerously signed by citizens of Hamilton county, Ohio, has been presented to the Constitutional Convention of that State, praying that in the new Constitution, provision may be made “lor the removal of all persons of negro, or part negro blood, i'^ora tho 8tatc of Ohio.” Jt will be recollect ed that a number of negroes, freed in Virginia, were not long since forcibly expelled from Ohio. This movement exhibits the true sentiment of the Ohio people towards the colored race,and shows how much of their anti-slavery zeal is attributable to a tender regard for the interest and welfare of the blacks of the South. Wo have long been satisfied of the fact that the greatest amount of prejudice against the African race exists among tho peo ple of the free States, and that the black man has really less to expect from tho loud-mouthed aboli. tionists of the North "than from the people of tho South,who would hold them intheonly relation which will give them security, employment and protection, on this continent. Ohio is not the first nor the only State that has moved to exclude blacks from her boundaries, and from what we have seen, we feel jus tified in believing that should the qbolitiouists succeed in prescribing the limits to our institutions, their next movement would be to restrict the ireo- blacks, also within the limits ot' the slave States. lor, over which are the American flag, shrouded in black, and a general’s military accoutrements. The Astor House, too, looks extremely well; indeed, at whatever point the procession is to pass, the most liberal und extensive arrangements have been made. As regards the procession itseli, I cannot give you the most remote idea. It seems as though it were endless. Those persons acquainted with the city will judge, however, ol its length, when I say that it extends from the City Hall, through tho Bowery, Un ion Square and Broadway to the City Hall again, and then not all included. How* many persons it con tains l cannot myself judge. It may be one hundred thousand, but l am sure it far exceeds half that num ber. In fact it is tho greatest demonstration of tiie kind I have ever seen here, and is in every respect worthy of the city and of the occasion. I see it stated that so great a.deinund was expected for black crape that not a piece under $2 has been in the murket for a week past. They were all bought up by speculators in New-York, Boston aud Philadel- pt*«. The sale of St. Peter's Church (Catholic) mention ed in a former letter, did not take place. A subscrip tion lias been opened to redeem the mortgage, which, I believe, is something like $ 100,000. Tho Hudson River Railroad Company are doing a great business. During sis months past, 303,275 pas sengers went over the road. By the bye, it is tick lish riding, however, for the rails are close to tlie river, und should anything happen to send the cars otf, they must inevitably go into the water, and loss of life to a great extent would probably en sue. The Democracy hud another noisy meeting nt Tammany Hall u few nights since; and although the object of the meeting (to effect union and harmony) was not forgotten, still it would frequently have puzzled one to know what they were driving at. The truth is, tlie breach between tlie Hunkers and the Free Sailers is a very serious one, and 1 don’t think it will ever he permanently healed. I have no doubt, however, that on the eve of an important election, a sort ol union ior the time might he effected. But time will show, and tlie time for action is fast ap proaching. Tho recollection of the Hague Street affair has just been revived "by the publication of the report of tho committee for distributing the funds. It appears that tlie number of persons employed in the two build ings when the explosion took place was 128—of whom 67 perished in the ruins or died shortly after being extricated, and 50 others were slightly or se asons. 1 he enor. verely iuju»i:d. Tlie amount of money collected for the relief of the sufferers was $27,200 68, of which #23,581 12 was contributed in New York city.

Papers from the city of Mexico to the 8th inst., re ceived in Mobile by tiie British steamer Tay, give most lamentable accounts of the ravages of the chol era iu the Mexican cities. The number of cases in the capital in the space of six weeks amounted to 15,000, and out of these 6,400 persons had died. Thu vegetable diet oi tlie lower classes lias swelled tho number of victims to this la mentable amount. From the last of June to 2d July, there were 2.0U0 cases, and 1,234 deaths.

Many of the merchants have tied to the country, and a deep gloom rests upon the market. Very little business was doing. A train of wagons wus robbed between Peubla and Vera Cruz, ut Llano Grande, near Rio Frio, They were attacked by 30 banditti. The Major Domo was killed, and nearly all the drivers shared his late. The rubbers then spent eight hours in selecting their boo ty. They destroyed a number of piano fortes, aud indeed all merchandise that they could not carry a- way with them. They then very calmly overturned the wagons, aud drove otf the mules. Tlie Diligence had also been robbed going up from Very Cruz, and the Diligence coming down lrom the capital, in which were a company of actors. The banditti searched them, and possessed them selves of all the gold and silver they had about their persons. They then selected all their theatrical dresses and examined them, uttering exclamations of delight at their brilliant colors and tinsel ornaments. Some of the robbers d rested themselves iu them, and really the gold and silver seemed forgotten in the rapture of these unusual possessions. The Gnle oll’Cnpe lliilfci-ns Aurfork, July 24.

Southern nml Northern Views of tlie New C’nbinet. The Washington “Southern Press” Bays that the new Cabinet is strong ill ability, hut adds : “We are surprised, however, at the local and sec tional character of the Cabinet Not a single mem ber comes from a cotton planting or large slave-hold ing .State, although the most important questions now pending affect that class of States more deeply and vitally than all others. There are four mem bers from siuvehplding States-- .Maryland, North Car olina. Kentucky, and Missouri—States of the small, est slave population, and supposed to have tiie greatest affinity for the North. The slaveholding i States h-it without a single Representative i n the Cab- j net. are hi population, wealth, production and. com- j merco, at iea»t twice as great us those who have tour ■ members allotted to them. Tlie three Northern j States which are represented are ultra sectional in \ opinion,—Massachusetts, New York, nml Ohio. The ! four Southern members are of high Northern Whig ! politics. “NVe are aware of the difficulties, personal, sec- i tionnl, and party, in forming a Cabinet. But we j think there ha» been nil eiroi here, unless it is in- | tended to givens a magnanimous display of anti 1 sectionalism in file settlement of pending questions on fair principles by those not heretofore ranked i among the liberal.” The New York Tribune, in tlie course of its re marks on the new cabinet says-— “Tlie nomination of Nathan K. Ilall, of Buffalo, for Postmaster General, is a serious blunder political ly, though he will make a good efficient officer.

IIow the Union mny he Destroyed—A Home Thrust, From an address of Caleb Cushing, delivered nt Newburyport on the 4th instant, mid published en tire in the Newburyport Union, wo make tlie follow ing extract. How, then, is the Union, so dear to every patriot ic heart, and of such inestimable value to ail of us, to he preserved I t reply to this question, by statin ■ how 1 think it may be destroyed ; or at least how you, tlie people ot Massachusetts, if you labor dili gently and zealously in that view, may do much to promote and finally consummate the dissolution oi the Union. Desiring and intending to dissolve the Union, you will in the first place, as you have already done, know ingly and of malice aforethought, infringe us u State upon express provisions of the constitution, for the avuwed purpose of injury to the citizens of other States. You will, in tlio second place, as you have already done, maintain such unconstitutional legislation on tlie ground of your conscience not permitting you to execute the injunction of the constitution—thus de monstrating to the other Stutes of the Union that no compact ol association with youis of any avail ; since you in effect claim tiie privilege ot disregarding the law of the land at pleasure, and of being dispensed not by any’ pupal auLhoily, but by your own capricious conscience, or pretence of conscience, from keeping your implied engagements, or even your solemn, t.v press oath of fealty to the Union.

Fredcricksbiirgli. July 23d.—A terrible outrage took place in Culpepper, ill this State, on Wednesday last. A mob of two hundred men, including justices of pi ace, members of church, and otners, proceeded to the jail, resisted tlie sheriff’, and carried otf Wil liam Grayson, a free negro. They dragged him to the woods, where they hung him dead. The cause of this high handed measure is this Grayson hud twice been convicted of murdering Da vid W. Miller, a white man, but each time he appeal ed, and tlie general court granted new trials on tlie ground that the testimony hardly justified suspicion —much less guilt. The mob allowed Grayson ono minute to confess. He firmly avowed Ills innocence of tho murder. The mob then placed a fence rail across between two trees, and strung him up. •This outrage has created intense excitement in the community, and the papers are urging the governor to take efficient measures to have every man con cerned in it arrested.

Terrible Storm in Canada. The Toronto Globes ays; On Friday afternoon, the 19th inst., the townships of Brock, Scott and Reach, were visited by the most terrific storm ever remembered, and not in ferior in fury to the hurricanes of the tropical cli mates. Fora width of about a mile its course was marked by the entire overthrow of the forest trees, houses and lmrns were swept away like children’s card-houses—the growing crops on whole clearings entirely destroyed—cattle carried off the ground, whirled in the air, and killed in their descent to the earth. Those persons who happened’ to lie in the line of the storm describe it us the most awful spec tacle they ever witnessed, and from which there was no security, except in their cellars. They had barely time to seek reiitge underground, when the buildings above them were carried away. The destruction to cuttle and growing crops lias been very great, but we have only heardof two lives being lost, although the injuries by fractures and otherwise, are innumerable. A farmer named John Irvine, in Brook, bus hnd the whole ol his buildings, household furniture, and the growing crops on a large farm destroyed. Dreadful Dentils.

A half gallon ol fluid was scattered over Mrs Holmes and Miss Lucy Lord, and both were envelop ed in flam !f. Mr. Holmes, who was returning home lrom a visit, came in time to extinguish tho flames, which were consuming Ids wife, and to snatch hia child fi-oinaburning cradle. The wife and mother however, was so badly burned that she survived on ly to tho next evening. Miss Lord fled towards Col. Bishop’s Hotel, where her mother was ; and notwith standing the efforts ol numbers who where attracted by her terrible screams, the fire was only subdued when all of her clothes were consumed. She was carried into her mother’s presence all charred and roasted, and died at 6 o’clock on Tuesday morning. 1 hp tire in the building was soon extinguished. [PER A 8 I A.l PARSONS, DAY & CO’S.
