The Cholera, will be seen, is extending
its ravages fearfully in Paris, and no lon
ger coniines itself to the idled and in
temperate classes of society; hut has at
tacked and proved fatal to u number of
persons of rank and fortune. At the last
dates, however, the disease seemed to he
abating, The number of new cases in
twenty-two hours, had been as 1075; and
of deaths in the same period, 455. This
was from noon of the 9th, to 10 o’clock
of the following day. On the 11th, this
number was reduced to 985 new cases,
and 050 deaths, on the 12lh the number
of new cases amounted to 859, the num
ber of deaths to 561; and on tiie 33th
there had occurred during the previous
tweutv-four hours, 804 new cases, and
5317 deaths—showing a gradual, hut con
tinual abatement of the disease, both

PARIS APRIL 10.—The Cholera
occupies almost exclusively |mblic atten
tion here; it continue? its ravages with an
intensity which surpasses all previous
expectations. The official bulletin of each
succeeding day goes to increase the pub
lic apprehension. It is painful to notice
the departure of almost al! those whose
business or relations do not confine them
to the city.
This morning common wagons, em
ployed in removing the dead, ares.en in
the street, dressed in black. These wa
gons. called lapissiere*, have been intro
duce 1 because The hearses are no longer
sufficient for that purpose. They con
tain as many as six biers. The carriage
of Marshal Lenncs is also brought into
use lor funeral purposes, being very
large, and capable of containing 11 cof
fins.
We learn with grief that the typhus
(fever) has made its appearance at the
Hotel Dieu; and that the physicians of
that Hospital have this morning made a
repori on the subject to the Minister of
the Interior. It is also said to have shown
itself at the Hospital of Gros-Cail
lon.
The deaths of a number of distinguish
ed persons aie announced, who, if we
might rely upon the statements of certain
journals, would have been considered
not of the class liable to he attacked,
by the Cholera. We mention the fol-'
lowing:
The Baron of Mounttille, Peer of
France; HI. Musset-Pathas, Major Gen
eral of Division; ithc lady of Colonel
Chateau; Count de Coetlosquet, Peer of
F. nice: Dr. Leroux Dean of the Faculty
of M dicine; Dr. Petit, Surge nos the
Hospital of Gros-Caillon; besides many
Other less celebrated physicians of Paris
and the Department. Os the latter, some
have been attacked in the Diligences,
while returning to their pjaces of abode.
And here it is proper to remark,that a
Considerable number of cases have deve
loped themselves in the buhlic conveyan
ces, in consequence c n the fatigues of
travelling, which deranging all the or
dinary habits of the sMtem, undoubted
ly exposes it to receiic the infection of
tin- disease.
The alarm is very great in the fashion
able quarters of Paris.
NEW-YORK, May 25.
12 D AYS LATER FROM ENGLAND.
The ship Josepine Capt. Britton arri
ved last evening from Belfast, whence
she sailed on the 25th ultimo. By this
vessel, Belfast dates to the day of sailing
and London and Liverpool to the 21st
April arc received.
The most important piece of intelli
gence they contain, is that of the second
reading of the Reform Bill in the House
of Lords, which took place on Friday, the
I.3th—or rather on Saturday: the 14th of
April, as the House did not divide until j
twenty-five minutes to seven on the mor
ning of the latter day. The votes were
then for the second reading, 184 against
it, 175: showing a majority of nine in fa
vor of the measure.
Thus it will be seen that the very rc
yer'i” of the news brought by the Splendid
is* t, <r. The report repeated bv Captain
F< h alleged that the Reform Bill had
bee ; defeated on the 14 by a majori

A discussion in relation to the afiairs
of Poland elicited from Altrop the follow -
ing remarks.
“It was impossible for him at present
to enter into ail explanation of the view s
of his Majesty’s Government regarding
:hc affairs on the unfortunate country, the
j fate of which must have sunk deep in the
, minds of every free people. The Gov
] eminent hod not had any communica
tion from Russia since these afiairs had
taketi place that could enable them to
come to any di finile determination on
public documents. The Hon. Member
had done his Majesty’s Ministers justice
in saying that they had held out any delu
sive hope to the Poles. Having said
this much, for the reasons he had already
stated he must for the present defer fur
ther explanation.”
The Cholera in Paris was less fatal than
at last accounts.
The news from other parts of the
continent has nothing of importance or
j interest enough to reqaire particular coni

Rejection of the Reform Bill. —The
j following intelligence is from the second
edition of the New-York Daily Alcerts
ir, of the 23d inst. Should it prove to be
correct, which we are inclined to think
very probable, our next accounts from
England will be of the most absorbing in
terest. If a substitute calculated to satis
fy the reasonable expectations of the
people is not otfered, the most alarm

LATE FROM ENGLAND.
The Packet Ship North America, Capt
M acy, arrived yesterday morning from
Liverpool, whence site sailed on the Ist.
inst. We received by her Liverpool pa
pers of that date and London of 30th A
| pril. In a few hours afterwards we issu
ed an extra containing the principal items
of news she brought. The packet ship
Napoleon, Capt. Smith also arrived yes
terday from Liverpool, and brought us
our usual copious supply of English
Journals up to her day of sailing, the 27th
April.
The Cholera appears by the official ac
counts to be diminishing in Pans, but
spreading throughout France. Accor
ding to the latest official statement we
have of the 25th April, the number of
deaths in Paris on that day was 193. On
the Gth the number of deaths there was
S6l—the decrease is thus very material
and yet it is most extraordinary that if
Cholera is not more general in Paris than
these accounts represent, that so many
individuals in high station should be at
tacked by it, for it now appears that eve
ry one of the Ministers is ill.
It will be seen from one of our extracts
that the disease is also said to be raging
with great violence in Hat rede Grace
This is mentioned ilia Sunday paper of
the 29th, but as neither the London
l ime# or Herald of the following dav
i the 30th, contain any allusion to the
I fact, we indulge the hope that it is not
i true.
We give an article from, Le Constitu
tionnel of a very warlike aspect. The
j London Times, however, treats it with
I ridicule and says—
The poor editor of the Constiutiount!,
who really is too credulous for the 19th
century, must have been hoaxed by
•mine Carlist, or some humorous clerk in
the office of Prince Metternich.
\V. i too should incline to tins opinion
for it would seem that the French troops
are about evacuating Aneena, or at lea-;
that some amicable nrraugtnent has been
entered into in relation to the possession
of that place. That France, nnjj the me
tropolis particularly, is in a state of the
greatest confusion and alarm is very pro
bable: indeed, while all those who have
the direction oftho government are on a
bed of sickness *-t cannot be otherwise, but
we see nothing more to threaten the gen
eral tranquility of Europe.
The Bclgic Governor of Luxemburg
has fallen into the hands of the Dutch
Government. There is little doubt that
he would he again given up* W’c pub

is accompanied, and perhaps the little
faith placed in t!» rets, of despotic.gov

Greece. —The Ministers of France, |
Great Britain and Russia, resident in |
Greece, have in their official capacities, i
presented to the President of the Cov
' eminent of Greece (Aug, Capod’ Istrais)!
the protocol of the 19 January last.;
which the three powcis signed in Lon
don in relation to the affairs of Gree- j
ce.
This protocol states that the three pow
ers have agreed upon the following fun
damental principles, which had been
communicated to the commanders of
their sea and land forces for their govern
ment.
The recognition of the National As
sembly at Argos, as the provisional gov
ernment of Greece.
The hope is expressed that the country
may lie governed with mildness justice
and impartiality, and the resident minis
ters and officers in Greece of the
three powers, have been directed to pro
mote l>v all the means in their power these
ends.
To prevent piracy at sea, the naval of
ficers ofthe three powers have directed to
allow no vessels to pass which are
not provided with regular paper from this
provincial government of Greece.

Betrayed by a Waites. —An incident,
of sonnvha' ludicrous na’ure, took place
a day or two since in an auction store in
Broadway. A female, in lady like attire,
entered during the sale of household
wares, Ac. and in a tew moments, after
viewing the different exposed articles, her
eyes sparkled and her heart gladdened at
the appearance of a waiter, of the circum
fere’itee of about eight and twenty inches.
Her mind was immediately and actively
employed in contriving, and while view
ing with profound delight the different
shades ot coloring, which adorned the ar
ticle, she was observed to heedlessly drop
it upon a chair, and gently adjusting her
robes, quickly seated herself among the
bidding multitude. After being rested,
and little thinking the eyes of any one
were upon her, she arose and was upon
the eve of departure when the man of the.
hammer discovered that the waiter was
missing. He immediately accused the
apparent lady of theft, which naturally
W as by her denied, bat, on the striking of
a rattan, which he fortunately held m his
band, against \\er unmentionables, the niis
tt-rv iva•* solved, the blow having produced
a great concussion, and the waiter instant
ly dropping from its sequestered spot, af
forded much amusement to numerous
witnesses. The female departed without
being legally dealt with; the mortification
being considered sufficient punishment.

Baltimore Convention. —The fol

Baltimore paper, as the result of the bal

for ihe Vice Presidency:
On motion, it was resolved unanim

ceed to ballot for the nomination of
a candidate for the Vice-Presiden
cy.
Whereupon the several delegations
proceeded to deposite their ballots at the
Secretary’s table—and the balloting hav

It appearing therefore, that Martin Van
Buren had received a majority of more
than two thirds of all the votes given he
was declared to lie selected as thecaiuli
date nominated by this Convention for the
Vice-Presidency.
The Convention, —It is truly anima
ting to the advocates ofcorrect principles
to witness the extent of the convention
irow in cession in our city, and llie good
feelings which prevail among the mem
bers of it. There is in attendance w lar
ger number of persons than was ever be
fore assemblod on a similar occasion, in
this country*, among whom there is a vast
amount of the best talents in the country
and the kind feelings the good understan
ding, and the gentlemanly deportment of
the members are such as are calculated to
inspire delight in the mind of every friend
to the cause in which they are engaged.
They are not men who attach any undue
importance, and desire to make a display
to i,o purpose hut it contains the hone and
sinnew of worth integity and talent: who
move when the occasion calls for it, and
w hen they do so it is in accordance with the
feelings of the people and consequently
with an effect which hears down all oppo
sition.
The good effects resulting from the as
sembling of the Convention to make a no
mination is seen and felt by all who have i
witnessed its proceedings and will we
trust he seen and felt throughout the conn
trv. We would therefore, respecftilly sug
gest to the members, before they separ
ate, the propriety of recommending
! the calling a similar Convention four
! years hence.

The ship owners of Nantucket trading
to the Pacific, lately addressed a memo
rial to the Secretary of the Navy, stating
that a hand of profligate men who had
deserted from vessels cruising in Pacific
existed in one of the Gallipagoes Islands,
and that one instance had already occur
red m which acts of piratical violence
were attempted. At the Island of Rottu
uah there was a company of runaway
convicts of the same depraved character.
—The memorialists ask that in con
sequence of their apprehensions that in
jury might be done to American shipping
in that quarter, that such instructions
may be tarnished to the commander of
the American squadron ns would he like

had been forwarded to Captain Downes
to visit those islands, and in case any
ot their residents are deserters from
our public vessels, or are proved to have
been engaged in acts of piracy to arrest
and send them to the United States for
trial.

“A New-Yori- paper states that there
is another comet visible, which will arrive
at its perihelion or nearer distance to tne
sun, in the month of May, 18532, and will
he nearest to the earth in June and this
comet has been confounded with the com
et mentioned by the German astronomers
hut this isn small comet, scarcely visible,
and at its naerst approach is then near
the orbit of Mars. This comet may now
be seen by a telescope due South, soon
after the sun sets and about as high as (lie
meridian sun is in summer. Ls periodis
three years, three montlis, and twenty
six days, the shortest period of any comet
you know. It was last at its perihelion
|on January 11, 1829, and will consequent
] ly arrive there in May; hut it is too re
i mote and too small ever to attact ntten
i tion, except from mistake or ignorance.
This comet was calculated by Damoiseau

pear this year; and hence the reports a
