The deaths in the last week in the hospital in this city from yellow fever were 125, the eases being mostly early in the week. The cured cases amount to 109. It is hoped the warm weather will abate the disease. Telegraphic Extension. The Boston and Cape Cod Telegraph Company have determined to extend their wires, by a stroug submarine cable, of the same size as that now being laid down bo* tween Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, to Holmes’ Hole l Martha’s Vineyard,) Edgarton and Nantucket;*and we learn that contracts were made on Friday last binding | the Company to have the liue completed on the Ist of ? November. This enterprise will prove of great value to I the shipping interests of Boston, arid the points that are I thus to be connected. Fanaticism of Lord Brougham. Lord Brougham has memorialized the British House of Lords, lor the removal of the Lord High Commissioner, on the ground that he owns an extensive plantation and slaves in Dutch Guiana. He lias also spoken on the treatment of free negroes, British subjects, by the State of South Carolina. Lord Clareudon’s reply, however, held out no promise of improvements in. this regard He very considerately thought the affair too delicate to be meddled with by the English government.

Richmond, August 10. The steamer Curtis Peek, Captain John Davis, arrived at quarantine, below the city, this afternoon, with four hundred passengers, all from Norfolk. They were ex amined by the quarantine physician, and no fever being manifest, all were permitted to come up to Rocketts and land. Governor Reeder. —As many of the Northern papers are teeming with a story in their Washington correspon dence, alleging that the President offered to Governor Reeder, as inducement for that gentleman to resign, first, the mission to China, and then that to the Court of St. .lames, soon to be made vacant by the resignation of Mr. Buchanan, we have to say that we are satisfied that the story, in each and every one of its particulars and varia tions, is false—false from beginning to end. No such of fer or offers were made to him, the public may rely on it. The story is merely made up by some enemy ot the Presi dent, who lacks truth on which to hang a fair plea of wrong doing on his (the President's) part, as the basis of invidious comments on his administration. When, as alleged, Governor Reeder was offered the Chinese mission, that was not vacant; nor had Mr. Me- Lane made up his mind to resign.— Washington Star The Old Line Whigs of Maryland. —The subjoin ed letter from Leonardtown, St. Mary's county, Mary land, appeals in the Baltimore Sun of yesterday. The old line whigs of Maryland are nobly emulating the ex ample set by their brethren throughout the eutire South : “The whig convention of this County assembled in i'i this town on yesterday, and nominated Kdmund J. Plowden aud Richard H. Reeder, esq3., for the house of delegates. Mr. Plowden was a member of the house of delegates in 1849, and is one of the most extensive plan ters in this section. Mr. Reader is at present a judge ot the orphans’ court. Both gentlemen are men of abil ity and deservedly popular. The convention that nomi nated them le-affirmed the stroug anti Know Nothing resolutions heretofore passed by the whigs of this county, and both Messrs. Plowden and Reeder, in their speeches before the convention accepting their nominations, pledg ed themselves, if elected, to co-operate in good faith with the Democratic or any other party in the Legislature, if they found no whig party there,in opposition to lv. Noth ingisni, aud m that contingency, it necessary to defeat the Know Nothings, to vote for a Democratic United States Senator, or any other officer for whom their votes might be required in their legislative capacity.” Wild Hunt after Office.— lt is said that Dr. V. M. Miller, the loudest- gun ol Know Nothiugism in Chero kee, professed to be a democrat down to a late period— that he was a candidate for nomination before the Con vention ol the fifth district that nominated Judge Lump kill toi Codgress ; and that, disgusted with his failure ‘fin the wild hunt after office,” lie joined the Know Nothings the day offer his defeat, and has since that time been one of the*warmest and loudest denouncers of the ungrateful democracy.— Sav.

Dr. Charles Williams— Sir: I accidentally got hold of your'“Pulmonic'Balsam of Whild Cherry,” and have no hesitataney in pronouncing it the best expectorant I have ever used, and have tried nearly all the far-famed ex pectorants of the day, aa I have been lain,, r „l. monic a flection for nine years. I received a letter from my brother-in-law, the Rev. James Waliis, a few days ago, and lie and his wife were both using the “Pulmonic Bal sam,” and were perfectly delighted with it. His wife, two weeks before, had lost all hope of recovery, but was aston ishingly improved. Your obedient servant, 8.-W. HARRIS. Courtland, Ala., Feb. 21, 1849. by all Druggists everywhere.

Dr. M’linnc’s Vermifuge.——During a practice of more thr.n twenty years, Dr, McLaue had attended innumera ble patients afflicted with every form of worm disease, and was induced to applj all the energies of his mind to the discov ery of a vermifuge, or worm destroyer, certain in its effects; the result of his labors is the American Worm Specific, now before the public, which is perfectly safe, and maybe given alike to cliildeu of the most tender age, or to the aged adultj it purges mildly and subdues lever,and destroys worms with iuvariable success. It is easy of administration, and as It does not contain mercury in any form whatever, no restrictions are necessary with regard to drinking cold water, nor is it eu pable of doingthe least injury to the tenderest infant. An in credible unmber of worms have been expelled by this great Vermifuge. Purchasers’ will please be carelul to ask for DR. M’LANE’S CELEBRATED VERMIFUGE, andj takenone else. All other Vermifuges, iu comparison, are worthless. Dr. M’Lanes gen uine Vermifuge, also Ibis Celebrated Liver Pills, can now be had at all respectable Drug Stores in the United States and Canada. by all the Druggists in Columbus, and by one agent in every town. aug7—w&tw2w.

ALEXANDER, TIIIS Medicine is prepared by a regular hrttl Southern phy sician w Do lias practiced his profession for the lasi eiehi een years in the Stale pi Alabama. It will be found upon a JirrV"trial to be the most prompt and effectual- remedy for all diseases of the Chkst and Lungs ever discovered, and when every other leinedy laiis tbisis sure to give-relief. The greatest care has been taken in its preparation, being compounded on tbe most scientific principles. lint’ composi tion is embraced a combination of the most rnhiabU and rffc*- lire Expectorants* Jinodvnes and Sedatives which are known to possess the h : ghrsl repute with all intelligent members oi the Jilt a icol Profit si on. No fact can be nu.re self evident than that this preparation has already acquired high reputation and great popularity wherever it has been introduced. Assuming no extraordina ry pretensions, but relying solely upon its own intrinsic virtue*, this valuable medicine, invented and prepared by an experi enced. Southern Physician after many years ‘of practical inves tigation and application,fhas at length secuied the most un limited confidence, wherever it has been introduced, a* acer. lain remedial agent in all diseases of the respiratory organs. If the unsolicited testimony of skillful physicians, profound lawyers, and eminent divines, together with others of high character, learning and discrimination, can be any evidence o’ its intrinsic superiority, certainly it hasa claim upon the gen erous confidence of an enlightened and discriminating com munity. A train of diseases so desolating, so withering, sy general and fatal in their results, ha:- at length met with a rem edy that n*ver fails to crus, unless by lone and criminal neglect or injudicious tr> atmenttlic disease lias completely un dermined the Constitution, and nothing has been lett to rear the fair .abric of health upon, but its ruined and desolaled frag ments. A remedy therefore I ha* can be relied upon, - that will VIKLB IMMEDIATE RKLISF, Til AT WILLeCRK B2YOND A M>L*ltT.il i ibe directions are laithhrfly followed, is priceless, forheallh is paramount to all earthly considerations, and by far the most inestimable treasure this world can afford.
