We resume tliis day, the publication of our Daily paper, and although our force is not yet entirely adequate to that object, we shall endeavor tokccpitup. Two months have elapsed since its suspension—two months of affliction and woe to our prosperous and hitherto healthy city.— During that time the hand of Death has wrought many gloomy chasms in its enterprising and bu siness population. Many are the familiar and friendly faces that once gladdened our streets and gave impulse and animation to business, but ■lumber now in the tomb. Wetiustand believe that the pestilence has loft us—and forever. It is our duty in looking back upon the fearful past, to turn to good account) for the future, the afflicting dispensations of Providence, and while we cannot hut mourn over the desolation of our city, let us be grateful that health is once more restored, and that our homes and substance arc preserved. We take great pleasure in publishing the re port of the Hoard of Health below. The health •f the city may lie considered as fully restored, and no danger need be apprehended by those whom business may call hither. We have now had three successive frosts accompanied by ice. The business of the city is reviving with great rapidity, and so soon as we can have a rise in the river, sufficient to allow boats to come np, Augus ta will present to the stranger her usual business like appearance, and to country merchants and planters all those advantages for which, as a market for the sale of produce and the supply of goods, she has always maintained so high a re putation. $ Hoard of Health. Fiudat, Nov 8, 12 M. The Board report no death from fever or other cause since their last meeting on Wednesday. The Board have carefully abstained from en couraging any return to the city while danger ex isted; but take pleasure in announcing that they now consider danger at an end. The weather during the last three days, has undergone an en tire change, and a very considerable black frost has appeared this morning. Onr absent fellow citizens are now confidently invited to return to their homes. The board then adjourned to meet at the call of the Mayor. A. GUMMING, Mayor of Augusta, Ex officio Chairman of the Board of Health. S.iml kl M. Thompson, Scc’y. We publish below a list containing the names of those who died of fever since the 18th August last. We have omitted those reported to have died from other causes, We have endeavored to make the list as perfect as possible, and believe that it will be found to bo correct, or very nearly so. The number of cases are variously estimated at from 1500 to 2000. We presume that steps will be taken to ascertain the number as near as possible. Miss Isabella Ogden, Resident.

IThc election commenced on Monday last, in the State ol New York, and was concluded on Wednesday. We have as yet no intelligonre of any Jesuits. In the city of New \ ork 27,653 voles were polled the first two days, being 2352 votes less than were polled the two first daysofthc election in 1838. Mobi'e nnd New Orleans. We copy the following articles in relation to the health of these two two cities, the first from the Mobile Merchants and Planters’ Journal of Nov. 6th, and the second from the New Orleans Picayune of Nov. sth : “The wished for rain came night before Inst, but did not continue so long as was desired. It poured heavily tor several hours; but at day light the sky was clear again, and the w hole day con tinued pleasant—rather too warm, indeed, at mid-day ; but altogether more agreeable, nnd we believe more hcultny than the weather which prevailed for some time before. We want more rains and still colder weather succeeding them, to ensure absolute safely to strangers. We have heard of very few eases of yellow fever latelv, and those among persons entirely unacclimateil, ami withal, not very prudent. The health of the city has improved very much ; but we cannot yet say that it is positively safe for strangers to ar rive.” “ Piik City. —As we have previously stated, the city may now he considered perfectly healthy. We had feared that the great influx of strangers would have raused an extension of the sickness; but so far it lias caused no bad effects. It is an nounced in one of the morning papers that there was a frost lust week. We think it probable, as two or three mornings were quite cool. On Sat urday and Sunday morning, wo had heavy rains, and we now confidently expect cold weather. Business is becoming brisk. The city is filled with strangers and returning citizens; nnd ves sels from sea, and steamboats arc fust coming in. Fur the Chronicle Sentinel. A Card. Although a man’s professional reputation must protect itself, it is necessary for him to defend, if he can, his personal character ; and hence, I notice a charge, which I understand from various siuiccs, not only in this place, but from abroad, hasheen made on my veracity. I have been charged with asserting that I have lost hut one patient, from the late epidemic, when in fad I have lost some half dozen. Now what I have said I am willing to repeat and to avoid further misconception, I repeat here. I have lost hat one patient out of about two hundred and sixty, whom I treated from the com mencement of their attack! I include in this number Mr. Rush, who died this morning; for al though I was the only physician called to him, yet lie had prescribed for himaclf the day before I was called. I think it proper, to prevent cavilling, to speak of one case, six miles ofiT, that died, who took no medicines hut,such as I ordered. On the morning of the second day of his disease I . requested to be sent for il a paroxism came on in tho evening, urging ns a reason that I considered his life depend ed upon a copious bleeding. I was sent for; tho messenger never came ; for I had taken every precaution, not to miss him, if he did—for par ticulars however, I refer tothc|family of the de ceased. I hold myself entirely unanswerable iu that case, as omission is equivalent to commis sion, at least where prediction is made before hand. It is true I attended a few cases that terminat ed fatally, none however willingly, but from a sense of duty ; for I conceived it next to impossi ble to save them, believing the mischief was al ready done by previous treatment. But, say some, you acknowledge no case as yours, who takes medicines, either of his own ac cord, or from others. Why should I, after de claring in the commencement oflhe fever, that I believed in all malignant cases, the fate of the patient was decided in the first paroxism—that is, to say in twelve hours,as far as death was concern ed ; and further that I considered certain medi cines, which many used, equal to arsenic.—Who believing blood-letting equivalent to death, would have boon willing to have assumed the icspnnsi hility of a patient of mine, after I had bled him a gallon or more, in ten or twelve hours! No expect it of him. I do not assail the theories of others—l do not seek to maintain my own in this public manner- I leave facts nnd experience to do their own work. But I wish to defend myself from the charge of falsehood ; and having repeated what I have said in the'premises, I leave it to my slan derers to prove my assertions untrue—if they can. J. J. WILSON. Augusta, Nov. 10, 1839. From the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, 4 tk insl. AII It IVA I. OF THE RUKAT WXSTF.IIN. Twenty-one days later from England. The Great Western, Capt. Hosken, came into port on Saturday evening, having performed her trip in the remarkably short passage of fourteen days and six hours. The Western left Sew York on the afternoon of the 21st September, and arrived in Kingroad on the afternoon of the 4th of October, completing her passage in thir teen days. The London dates are to the evening of 18th of October, Liverpool to the same, and Bris tol the 19th, all inclusive. The steam ship British Queen arrived al-Pbrts. mouth on the 15th, making her passage stated in the Liverpool papers in 13 days and 80 hours, v. s. hank Aiiotrcr. The most important news by ihj+ arrival is that relating to the operations of Mr. Jaudon • who appears to have been eminently successful in relieving hirnscif from his embarrassments. In addition to the advance of .£300,000 from the Bank of England, he had effected a loan of £BOO,OOO upon Pennsylvania stocks and other securities, and had also effected an arrangement with the holders of liabilities falling duo on the 2d of Oct. for a renewal, or delay of payment, they receiving American stocks as collatteral »e- curity. The amount of specie taken out for Mr. .Jaudon by the Great Western was only 116,800/. but large additional amounts were expected by the Liverpool, We annex several article* rtf* luting to (his subject, the effect of which scenic to be that provision has undoubtedly been made lor tho payment of all tho Bank’s liabilities in London. TilK IIAUVKST. I ho advices by this arrival enable us to form a tolerably accurate opinion ns to the stale oflhe ciops generally. The sum of the matter seems to be that the English and Scotch crops are somewhat below an average in quantity, and considerably below it in quality ; nnd that the Irish crop is at least so near a total failure that no exportations from that part of the United Kingdom can lie looked for. We annex copious extracts, from which it will be seen that the av erage ol prices had declined, and of cou se that the dut}' had risen. This however, is alleged to be more owing to the inferior quality oflhe arti cle than to the abundance ol the supply. The anti corn-law journals still maintain 'that tho ports must and will be opened for the admission of foreign grain. fIHKAT liniTAlir. The annual and quarterly returns of tho rev, - i nue, up to tho 10th of October, show an increase over those of 1838, of £1,441,132 upon the year, | and ol £240,699 upon the quarter. The amount in 1830 was £44,460,809—that in 1839 £44,- I 086 681. It is remarked, however, that the ex- ( peuditurrof 1839 must greatly exceed that of 1836; and that the financial condition of the ( country is more discouraging than at any time i since the peace. , Prince Albert of Gohurg—the lucky youth to I whom rumor awards the hand of Queen Victoria 1 —was again in England with his eldest brother. His ro-appearanee on tho scene was taken as confirmation of tho reports about her Majesty’s 1 marriage. - c The Lord Mayor of London gave an enter- li taininent at the Mansion House, on the Bth of a October, to Mr. Webster, Mr. Alexander Stewart s ot Nova Scotia, and others. Major Van Buron v was invited, hut sent an apology. Subsequently Mr. Webster left London for Paris. Sir James Clarke has published a statement relative to the case of Lady Flora Hustings ami 0 his conduct therein. It is calm, lucid, and bears “ every appearance of candor. The facts, as set ll forth hy him, exonerate him from all couture, w without implicating the Queen or any body else. I 1 Mr. Bronlerre O’Brien was arrested in Londpn v on the Dili, and held to bail for trial, on the c charge of making seditious speeches at Mane lies- n ter. In that town a number of Chartists wore arrested, hut whether for recent doings or on uc- . count of the riots in the summer does not apfieur. 11 'The Glasgow Argus is “extremely sorry” to P announce the failure of the Marquis of Huntly 0 for £606,001). The Arbroath Herald says that his assets will not amount to Is. 6d. in the pound. The marquis had levanted—i. e., gono to Paris. 81 The Queen lias paid off all the debts of her 1 father, the late Duke ol Kent, and the creditors have passed a vote of thanks to her Majesty. Cl Admiral Fleming has been appointed to tho ” governorship of Greenwich Hospital, vacant hy “ the death of Sir Thomas Hardy. The Sheffield Iris says that numbers of Char tist mechanics, such as cutlers, grinders, file-ma kers, &c, have emigrated to America, and that many others are preparing to follow. Mr. Slmrman Crawford has published a plan for the melioration of Ireland, which seems to meet with general favor. Tho principle of it is the division of land into small farms. The London Morning Post has defined the “permanent remedy” for the drain of bullion from England, at which it darkly hinted in one of its city articles, quoted by us the other day. It is a duty on the transfer of foreign securities. This suggestion is ridiculed by other journals, on the ground that tire drain ol gold is unquestionably caused, not by the dealings in foreign securities, but by the unavoidable importation of foreign grain. There was quite a commotion at Windsor Cas tle on the 13th, (Sunday,) occasioned by lire breaking of several panes of glass in the win dows ol tire Queen’s dressing room, and the find ing of large stones in the room, which had ap parently been thrown in during the night. No discovery had been made. It was reported in London that Lord Durham had been appointed to the Turkish embassy, to supercede Lord Ponsonby. The report comes in the Standard, a violent opposition paper, and is probably without foundation. ( The same journal gives a rumor that instruc tions were sent out for the blockade of Canton. Tire result of the interview between Lord Pal merston and the deputations from Liverpool, ' M anchester, &c. on the state of affairs with Chi na, had not transpired. spaix. The Cortes had voted in favor of granting to the Biscayans the feuros promised them by Es partero. This determination had caused great rejoicings at Madrid, as it was considered apledge for tbi: restoration of tranquility. At the date of the latest advices the forces of Espartero and Cabrera bad not yet come in con flict. The former arrived at Saragossa on the slh, at the head of 20,000 men, and was received with the greatest enthusiasm. Cabrera was for tifying himself in the Sierra of Cantavicja. His force amounted to about 30,000 men. A report had been circulated that Don Carlos had written to Cabrera, enjoining him to lay down bis arms and submit; but this was contra dicted by a letter from the Marquis of Labrador, who affirms also that Don Carlos will never aban don bis claims to the throne. The Spanish government had proclaimed a general amnesty to all who have submitted or shall submit to the Queen. TUK*«T AND HO TFT. Nothing decisive had yet taken place in the af fairs of these two powers; and the accounts #re so vague and contradictory tb«t it iteimpoAihle to arrive at any definite conclusion as to Mr te tual position. A letter from Turkey in orM of 1 the Paris paper*, thus states tire situation of r mediating power#: “What do the Russians want ?—To intedßfßMi. Ottoman Empir*. What do tire English Mml— To binder th» invasion and to overthrew WB Egyptian power.

Austria and England desire the destruc tion of the Egyptian power; but Russia and Prance oppose this plan. Hence there results such a great divergency of conflicting interval# that a collision is impossible. What than is done I The parties make a show of force, and try which can outwit the other. In the cod, af ter having surveyed each other from head to foot, the powers will retire. .Such will lie, in the nineteenth century, the termination of the grand s affair of the Levant,” J Perhaps this is about ns near the truth as any wir# We could oiler. file Russian consul at Alexandria is said to ■(jtve (leclared that il tiro Pacha did not give up we Turkish fleet in one month, u Russian army would march against Ibrahim. LADIES FASHION'S FOII OCTUIIKU. } or >' I’fetty materials for autumn dress are the chine and broche silks; but plaids, both in pop lins, lovantinics, and gros do Tours, arc much in favor. Velvet spencers arc again seen with the au tumn toilettes. Generally speaking, skits of dresses are very much ornamented, some with bouillons, others with flounces, not only round the bottom, but up the sides of tho skirt; short sleeves are worn both in full dress amlen neglige. Open dresses mid paletots will be worn this winter. Rerlingotcs are also fashionable ot reps, levantiue broche silks; plaid skirts, with velvet spencer or body, arc pretty- Gimp trimmings will bo worn this season on redingotes of silk materials. Apricot color, striped with green, having two hiais descending tUc redingote in a serpentine form, is one of tho lust novelties—’{’he time has hardly arrived for winter shawls and clonks; those with hoods, and both targe and small heinous, mantelets, and demimanteaux, are all preparing in new ami varied forms. J lie use of lace to ornament bonnets is expec ted to increase rather than diminish on the win ter coiffures. Bonnets ol satin and reps are replacing those of crape or lighter materials, and in Paris velvet ones ol light and delicate tints have been made mixed with blue, blue cerises; the form varies but little. Capotes, ol white satin, trimmed with British point lace and flowers of white velvet, are very elegant. I ulle-resoacc. striped gauze and crape-lisse, will be used for evening caps ; also Monde dentcllo, ornamented with roses du roi, Scotch lilies and heaths. Turbans of broeuit, embroidered satin, and velvet of Greek pattern, ornamented with scarfs and deep binges,arc also preparing for the winter season. This Banks of Nkw Yoiik inn Nkw Ev ui.anri.— From the Boston Mercantile Journal. —lt is now wc presume, pretty well settled that the Banks in Now York and iu Now England with the exception of Rhode Island, will nut sus pend specie payments. This is as it should he— we rejoice at the result.—ls the banks had suc cumed—and suspended specie payments, they might have brought temporary relief to some tot tering houses, but they would have destroyed themselves. All confidence in the present bunk ing system would have been at an end, and the people would have clamored for the annihilation of an institutions so little able to promote the great objects for which they were created. Now that it is known that the Banks will not suspend Specie payments, confidence will he, in deed it already is, restored, tho banks will be able to extend reasonable aid to the trading part of the community—and we doubt not that the cloud which now hangs over us, portending gloom and desolation, will soon be dispelled. f (a IZH9. HY WII.I.IAN r.EOOETT. If yon bright stars, winch gem the night, lie each a blissful dwelling sphere, Where kindred spirits reunite. Whom dealt hath turn asunder here -, How sweet it were at once to die, And leave this blighted orb afar, Mixt soul and soul to cleave the sky, And soar away from star to star. But oh how dark,how drear, and lone, Would seem the brightest world of bliss, If wandering through each radiant one, Wo fail to find the loved of this ; If there no more the ties shall twine, That death’s cold hand alone could sever; Ah I then those stars in mockery shine, More hateful as they shine forever. It cannot l>c,each hope, cacli fear, That lights the eye or clouds the brow, Proclaims there is a happier sphere Than this bleak world that holds us now.

Cotton. —ln esse the accounts by the late pack* ets should he anticipated by this steamer, we refer hack to our Circular of the 20ih ult. per the Liver pool ; since when our Cotton Market has been gradually declining,and is now 4a gd per lb. low er than at that period; the present ({notation for fair qualities being 64 a 7*d per lb., though a fair extent of business has been going forward during the whole time. The sales for the week ending 27 th ult. w ere 25,980 bales,and for that ending 4th hist. 2(5,500 bales , for that ending 11th inst. 29,- (>-’0 bales—and for the week terminating to-day they amount to 23,110 bales. Cf the latter 4930 Upland, at 6 a 8,9910 Orleans, at a 8}—4770 Alabama and Mobile, C a 7V, and 100 Sea Island, at a 2s lOd per lb. The market has had the benefit of a good export demand particularly the last fortnight, about 8000 bales having been taken for that purpose last weak and about 3000 the present week ; but the effect of this has been counteracted by a falling off in the demand for home consumption, and an exceedingly depressed state of trade in the manufacturing dis tricts, whore the return to full work on the part of spinncis is cheeked for want of an adequate de mand for goods and yarns. The money pressure, 100, continues and operates unfavorably on every branch of trade. The recent accounts respecting the injury sustain ed by the crop in the U. States, have doubtless had considerable influence in preventing a greater de cline. ( n the other hand, the interruption of the Chinese trade, and the uncertainty as to its renewal, may, it is thought, gives an increased supply ftf the blast India crop the next season, and lessen the export of goods and yarn to China. This together with the discouraging prospect for the demand for goods for America, has probably induced the cot ton holders to sell more freely of late. The import into Liverpool since Ist January is 938.000 bales against 1,259,000 to the same period last season; the supply from the United States is 758.000 bales, being a lecreasc of 303,000. The stock in tins port is estimated at 375,000 bales against 440,000, at same period last year j the stock of American is about 343,0U0,0i' 15,000bale* less than it then was. Havre, Oct. 8. Cotton remains still very depressed, and the transactions of this day only comprise 257 bales in all, viz: 108 bales Louisiana at 74f to 107*f; 33 c lorldas at tl)2f; and 00 bales Mobile at lo9f to 105 f. In Coffee only a retail trade took place, and the business in colonial sugar was confined to 437 bags liourbun at 47f. Havre, Oct. 15. Colton —Last Monday, advices from New York to 21st ult. reached us per Great Western, via Bris tol, the contents of which held out the prospect of a speedy termination to the financial difficulties of the United States Hank’s agent in London, and we have since ascertained, that a satisfactory arrange ment has been finally concluded. Thia intelligence produced, in some degree, a better feeling in our market, and from Wednesday to Thursday 3000 bales of cotton changed hands; but holders having afterward somewhat recovered themselves, the transactions on the following days became again restricted, though it is nut improbable that a slight concession on their part would have been produc tive of more business. Upon the whold, prices closed on Saturday at the quotations of th« pre cceding week, notwithstanding less encouraging accounts, as to the sale of Twist and Cotton Goods, were received from several manufacturing district*. Yesterday, however, at tlw> bvyei* reap peared in the market, and being freely met by «e|. Icrs, 2600 bales were taken at current rates. We published, in our previous report, the moftferaenl in Cotton throughout France, during the. last 3 years, and now annex the summary table for France and England within the same period. It win be perceived, that if on the one hand there has besn a (lelficietiey in the importations this year, on the other that in tiie outgoings is far more considera ble, allowing a reduction of 24 0 0 (or '32 0-0 on Uuitud States) in France, and 16 0-0 (or 23 0-0 on United States) in Great Britain, as compared with last season.
