Whe Cholera in New York—Meeting of the ‘Physicians. On Wednesday evening, the New York Academy of Medicine held their ususl monthly meeting, but it was merked with unusual intere: The subject of the all- pervading and mysterious cholera had. for a long time part, engaged the private rpeculatioa of its members, d their stated committee on public health had besa ebarged with the duty of making a report upon that universal scourge of our race A very elaborate o was accordingly presented by Dr. Easle, combining, as ke 1emarked, eeparate labors of every individual of the committee, which it had been his province, as chair- man, to incorporate into a connected treatise on the history, origin, dercrip‘ion, treatment, and character Of the disease, with a statement of precautionary mea. surer, tending to prevent i:s approach, or diminish its violence It will not be to the purpose to enter into detail upon any of these matters, as the report having been prepared previous to the appearance of the cholera at Quarantine at Staten Island, was necessarily silent on th bsorbing event, ‘After assigning to this diseas ry high antiquity indeed, making it contemporary with Hypoorates himeeif-a circum. stance which entitles it certainly to the distinguished position which it maintains im society—the committee * proceeded to speak of the prevalent theories of its Srigin; the atmospheric, animalcularian, telluric, elec- trie: and magnetic, but coutd arrive at no conclasion after ail, but the profound one of Marshal Hall, “that ite origin was very obscure.” Beside its cause, the publics principally concerned in its prevention and Bure. On these topic the report was sensible and full, Dut added little or nothing to what we have all been repeatedly advived of the publications of the Board of Hiealth and others in the daily press. ‘Aftwr this docum: nt was dispoted of, a letter from Capt. Lynde, of the Havre paoket ship, which lately arrived at Quarantine, from that city, was read. It Stated that bis vessel, with nearly four hundred souls on borrd, all in good health on their departure from Havre, where this disease was not then kaown to exist had been s-venteen days only, in which they bad made a very prosperous run, when the first patient on Doard made application to him for medisina, Several othirs were roon taken rick with similar symptoms, the captain prescribed for them in @ remsrkably now way, rupporing them to be afilicted with diarrnaa or dysentery ; but they all died to the number, I thiak, ofatoutadozen. Down to the writing of the letter, which was dated yesterday, out of nineteen cases at sea, and on the Island, bat two or thre finally sur vived Im addition to there facts another very pregnant one was stated, that two cases of cholera in persous not connected with the ship, and situated in another part ef the hospital, had occurred On this intelligence Dr, Drake moved that when the Academy rhall adjourn, they adjourn to meet oa Tuerday evening next. Connected with this was a er resolutio: Dr Stevens, ‘hat the Committee on Public Hcalth be instructed to investigat yh of the disease now prevalen' @ report thereof at the next ¢ Ee medion for a special meeting of the Aca- tly oppored by Dr. Rees, be. demy. demy was earn object would get abroad, and materially aggravate tne alarm already prevailing io the community. On the othor side, it was replied by Dr. Stevens with much force, that exaggeration was always a powerful instrument to propogute alarm, that it was always efulin cases of ignorance. What we are andiog in the porition of physicians of to arcertain the truth forthwith and publish it to the werld. ‘A perfectly true and frank statement is the surest remedy for a morbid excitement, as it will be the legitimate and honest mrthod of acquiring and de- serving the confidence of onr fellow citizens, who will, and ought to, look at our profession for correct intelli: gence and effectuel aid, But if it were not so, we have still a duty to perform It ie our business, our facred obligation te inquire, to convene, to discuss and make ure of every agency in our power to discover the character of, and to bafile, if orsible, this terrible enemy. Partial and temporary Foconventences are to yield to the public good. Hereis opportunity. perhaps, such as has not, to my knowledge. previously existed, to settle a great princi- of univereal concern. From the statement made ht. it appears, that the Havre packet left a healtby with a healthy company, who continued to for sixteen days. Was the disorder, which then broke out, and which I believe to be the Asiatic Chole- ra, a disease de nvso? Another important account, if true, is, that two persons, noway connected with the voyage, but residing in ancther part of the hospital on the arrival of the ship, have been attacked with chole- ra. Contrary tothe recoived theory, is it then com- municable from one person ty another? It would seem ‘of the very last importance to know, and rolve Upon cur body, as a depository of me dical science. as well as a conservator of the public safety, to teize the present favorable ovcaeion to en- large the boundaries of the one, while it is laboring de- yotedly for the presrvation of the o-ber? “Do right and fear not” Dr. Drake farther enforced there considerations, and added, that we ought not 0 devolve our obligations as }d honorable profession on any other body of d.

OFFISIAL REPORTS OF THE PROCERDINGS OF THE HOUSE Mr Asumus submitted a resolucion—That, in order to recure # ore full and impartial report of the pro- ings and debates of the House, the Clerk be author- 1zea to contract (‘o take effect from the beginning of the present session, and continue until otherwise Ordered) with the two daily papers of this city, the Na- tional Intelligencer and the Union for publishing the jeer perl and debates of the House; the expenses to paid cut of the contingent fund, at the rate of seven dollars and a balf per column of brevier ty pe; provided, that the reports be transferred from tye daily papers to the country editions and that a copy of the same be f. roithed toeach member of the House, without addi- tional chi Mr. J jections, order. Mr, Asumun faid that it was in order, notwithstand- ing the objections. He did not understand that there were any rules in force; those that were adopted, ex- pred with the last ression. The Chair, however, seemed to entertain a different opinion. But it is wrong, owing toamirprint in the journal He had looked at the manuscript, and there discovered that the rules here. tofore adopted were confined to the first session. In procf of this, herent the manuscript to the Chair, for inepection, and to be read Tux Srraxen—pronounced the gentleman to bein order, Mr. Wentwortn.—I rise toa question of order. | ssk whether my resolution offered yesterday is in or- dr? (Thet relating to American sympathizers in Ire- land) An objection was made to it from the other side of the House, and sustained. I ask the House to reconsider its decision.

Mr. Asaun.—t suppose that there need be no trouble. Immediately after the pass of my resolu. tion, a resolution can be intreduced to adopt tho rules of the last session for the government of the House during thir; or we can go on without rules, I merely wirh to say that the resolution which | have iatro- duced is similar to that offered by meat the last ses- tion, and whioh then faied for two reasons It was use it was said to be toc late in the and that it should be adopted at the commenceme’ of a ion The former resolution { geocnyend for the publication of revired speeches, and this was the other objection.— But both of the objections are now obviated. I have stricken from itthat part which provided that inembers could revise their speeches,and have made provision for the appearance of the reports in the morning pa- pers the next day. A SHOW OF OrrosiTiO™, ‘The resolution, by request. was again read, when Mr. Weniwontn said :—Before the resolution is put upon its paetege, | think the best way to dispose of it is to send it to the Committee on Printing, that they may ascertain what expenses willaccrue. My opinion is, that no member knows anything of the enormous expences which the plan will entail upon the country Mr. Asumun.— With the permission of the gentieman, I wish to make a remark on this point The subject was referred to the joint committee of the two Houses Jast sersion, The committee inquired into the proba- ble expense, and conrulted those who were best qualified to give opinions, and they reported the precise sum which they believed would pay the expenses of reporting and publishing. [How much was it?) Seven dol- lars and ahalfacolumn, sir (‘What isthe aggregate?””) Mr. Wentwortn egain took the floor, and. after de- xlining to yield the floor to Mr. McLane, continued :— 1 bave only @ few words to say.

Every individual has hie own paper; the country is divided up into parties If there papers cannot be sustained by the country, they cannot the better be sustained by us, ‘ge. es, of Tennessee, and others, interposed ob- conceiving that the resolution was out of A QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED, Mr. Mvarny —As the gentleman referred to parties and their organs, I should like to know what party the Globe represents. Mr. Wextwontn.—I understand that a great. party was recently triomphant, and like that which the Globe supports, it was no party at all. (Ha! ha! “good |"? * first-rate.) Ido not believe that gentle men who vote for this resolution, can sustain them- seives before their constituents. I believe the scheme to be unjust, prodigal, and extravagant in the highest degree; and. in order that members may know what they ate voting for, | move that the resolution be re- Jerred to the Cemmittee on Printing.

Lewis, late a Sena_ tor from Alabama, engrossed the attention of the Sea ate to-day, He died in New York on the 25th of last October. Mr. King gave the outline of the history of his lai? colleague, his publile services, his private virtues, and the circumstances attending his death in New Yor! and he embraced the occasion of expressing to the Common Council of New York, for their marked testi- monialsof respect to the memory of the deceased, the thanks of the State of Alabama, Providence, it would seem, had ordained that his late colleague should be buried in the identical place in Grvenwood Cemetety which he had designated asthe spot where he could wish his ashes to repose, if he should die within reach of those sacred grounds, The tribute to the public aud rivate character of Mr. Lewis by Mr. King, was but a Pictorient recapitulation of the good qualities which adorned the life aud character of the deceased, Mr. King concluded by moving the usual resolutions. Mr. Dix rore to second the resolutions of the Senn- tor from Alabama, “ When the career of the resp. ed colleague of my honorable friend was terminated in the city of New York,” said Mr. D., “I chanced to bs there, and was the only one of his associates on this ficor who was present, and had the opportunity of following his remains to their last resting place.” Mr. Dix, therefore, thought it appropriate to speak of his final illness, of the respect which had been paid to him, and of the place where his mortal remains repose — Aiter a well deserved tribute to the character of the non and the statesman, and a detail of the interesting and grateful circumstances of his death-bed sickness, sorrowful and unexpected as it came. Mr. Dix spoke of the universal respect paid to the memory of the de. ceased by the corporate authorities and the oltizens of New York, in their reanectful attendance at, and par- ticipation in the funeral ceremonier. He then gave description of Greenwcod Cemetery. so vivid and peautitul in its simplicity, that to the mind of the listener the scene, with ali its green mounds, its monu- ments, its tablets, its rustling trees, and its varied un- dulations of swelling hills and sloping decliviti as distinctly presented as from a recent through its winding walks. And the serene tions of there rural cities of the dead was aptly poz- trayed as beautifully appropri to nature and the sympathies of the living, It was a noble design on the part of the founders of Greenwood to make the city of their dead more attractive in its external aspeots than their city of the living. It was the voice of Nature speaking to us from the graves of the dead, Mr, Dix read an extract of a letter expressive of the admiration of Mr, Lewis of Greenwood, and concluded by saying that be reposes among us not as a stranger bat as one of ourselves brother in the common ia! ately concurr preceding speakers, with the resolutions of wearing mourning for thirty days, and the other usual resolu- tionsin such cases were agreed to. And then. in pursuance of a Wayans resolution, the Senate adjourned over to Monday next. In the Houge, Mr. Harris, of Alabama, delivered the eulegy upon the services and character of Mr, Lewis, and the history of his life, which he did in the strong, ce of truth. The resolutions of the hen concurred in, and,on motion, the ‘adjourned over to Monday next. CITY TRADE REPORT. Fnivar, Deo, 82 P. M.

Berlin ina State of Siege—Measures which Led toit— Disarming of the Burgher Guard, §c. ‘This city has been declared ino state of siege since yenterday evening. The appointment of a reactionary ministry, which, as I stated to you on the 6th inst., bad caused so much dissatisfaction and excitement, was but the first move of the government here against the political liberties of the people, after the victory of Prince Windiechgratz, at Vienna. The m-asures which have since been adopted by this government are the most rigcrous which the Cavaignac system of the prerent day could devise. The Assembly of the representatives of the people, has been removed from the capital to the city of Brandenburg, accordi royal decree, and is prorogued until the 27th ins ‘The Burgher Guard of Berlin, is dissolved, and re- quired to deliver up ite arms, A reinforcement of 20,000 troops has been ordered into the city, end is quartered in the citizens’ houses, as the caserns ate all filled with soldiers. Finally, the city has been declared ina state of siege, and will, in case any resistance is offered on the part of the citizens in consequence of there mearures of the government, be bombarded by General Von Wrangel, who keeps the city completely surrounded with his troops ‘The ditrolution of the Burgher Guard was deoreed uence of its having offered protection to the al Assembly, which bad continued its delibera- ‘ions in this city, im opposition to the order of the government, Alithe members of the Assembly, with the exception of the extreme right, bad protested acainst the removal of the Assembly and its proroge tion, as an unlawful measure of the government, and hed’ almost unenimouely passed the resolution that that mesrure should be declared null and void, Far- ther, they had resolved to declare the Arsembly perma- nent until the royal decree removing and proroguing the Assembly should be withdrawn, and to continue their deliberations in Berlin The government their power to the Assembiy, the military was called into requisition, The Burgher Guard having been ordered out in every quarter of the city, and several battalions hi been drawn up the National Asrembly for its protection on the day the troops had received orders to enter the city, eninary collision was expected me. For. ely, however, the citizens knowing the serious consequences which would follow if they would offer & port and protection | cording to acceunte from the interior, it had gene: -HALF-PAST TWO O’CLOCK. resistance to the troops. had resolved to withdraw in case of an attack of the military. Thus a conflict | between the Burgher Guard and the troops was | prevented at the most dangerous moment , The mem. | bers of the Asrembly having adjourned the sitting | on that day, until the day following, left the hallin a | body, under the protection of the Burgher Guard, The | next morning, the Arrembly proceeded in the same manner, in a body, to the hall, but found it closed A battalion of infantry had been placed inside, daring the night. and prevented the meeting of the Assembly. ‘The members, however, resolved to continue their de- liberations in another locality, which was offered to them. The day before yesterday, the order for the dis- solution cf the Burgher Guard was gi nd the ti when the disarmament should place. fixed yesterday morning. The citizens not having delivered up their arms at that time, the government determined to deolaye the city ina state of siege yesterday oven. ing. A ministerial decree, issued yesterday evening, declares that, as the civil authorities have not been able tomaintain public order, General Van Wrangel has been commissioned to adopt military measures for the purpore of preserving quiet, An order, issued by General Von Wrangel, to day, declares all clubs and political societies to be dissolved, Axsemblages of more than 20 persons. inday time, and 10 person night, will not be allo to meet in the streets and public places. Newspapers and placards dare not be printed or publicly sold, without the permission of the president of the police, All strangers who cannot state the object of their stay in this city, will be re- quired to leave here in the course of twenty-four hours, No one is permitted to carry weapons without leave of the president of the police. Public trade and intercourse will not suffer any interruption in conse- quence of the siege The excitement which has been caused by these ex- treme measures of the government is intense. In the. National Assembly, which met yesterday evening for the last time, the resolution was nassed that the siege of thie city be declared as an illegal measure on the aor of the government, and to be considered null and void. The greatest part of the citizens have delivered up their arms to-day, and it iy believed that all the arms | will be rurrendered to-morrow. The course the | citizens have decided to follow, is not to offer resiatanse | at prerent, but to wait until the time for action will come, The tranquillity of the city has not been dis- turbed since yesterday, although the greatest excite- ment prev The palace and all public places and bufldings, are guarded by military. Strong patrols | traverse the streets throughout tne city. On some of the public places cannon is drawn up. No journals have appeared to-day, nor will be pub- lished as long as the siege laste. Sournamrron, Nov. 17, 1848, The Bridgeport Bank Robher—Recovery of some of the Funds—His Probable Escape It may Interest some of your readers to learn some | facts in referenee to Beach alias Thompson, who came pascengerin the steamer Hermann on her last voyage. The young man, immediately after the arrival of the steamer, put upfat the Vine Hotel; the next day he left with his carpet bag, apparéntly very heavy, for London—came back with it light, and displayed a large amount of Bank of England notes, varying in size from £5 to £100. He left again the day following. with a young lady of the town for Liverpool, via Lon- don. About this time a Mr. Barnum arrived, and calledon L. R. Croskey, the American Consul, who recollected the young man as described, and after a | short rearch found bis lodging place, and in his room a large leather trunk, which contained about $6,000 ‘This was taken possession of by the consul, and will be handed over to the right owners ; but it is strongly suspected that the young rogue has made good his eveape with the balance, as the lady had returned without her companion, and had no doubt given him the alarm. It is to be hoped that this will be con- ridered as a good dividend on the $17,200, the amount that this young thief appropriated to hisowa use, with- out the consent of the owners. Tho Cholera in Europe. [From the European Times, Nov. 18.] ‘The total number of cases of cholera already report- ed from its first appearanee, has now reached 1.039, of which 533 have proved fatal, and 331 are still under treatment During the last week the number of deaths reported in the metropolitan districts was 62: and. we think. judging from the daily reports at present, that the number this week will range about 60, although the daily returns since Monday show a decided im- provement. On Monday the metropolitan cases ameunted to 18, but on Tuesday they declined to «ix, one of which was fatal; and on Wednesday ti but three of which were fatal. The improved si the weather may have conduced to this result, From the provinces the daily returns appear without any cases reported But in Edinburgh the malady still prevails to some extent the new cases are scarcely ever under 20 daily; the deaths are from 5 to 10 daily. Upon the whole, we are inclined to hope that the dis- ease bas rligbtly lersened in violence, at any rate it has not made progress, Two cases ere reported from Glas- gow; and we learn from Scotland that it now attacks persone above the lower clasres. In London. Mr. Bund, the prime warden of the Goldsmith's Company, one of the highest officers in the Corporation of Lon- don. bas fallen a vietim From France we have no farther accounte of its extension; and it has almost disappeared at Berlin. Upon a review of the general ttate ef health in England, there is nothing to cause needless alarm, The official returns of the Registrar- General, for the week ending the 11th instant, only show an excess of 11 above the averaze weekly returns of the preceding five years within the bills of mortality. Should the present fine weather continue, we are very fanguine that our next report will be much more fa- vorable, [From the Boston Advertiser, Deo. 7 ] ‘We are again indebted to our correspondent, for official reports ef the progress of the cholera at St Petersburg, and in other parts of Russia. of the Sist of October and 7th of November The number of cases in the Inst week bad, in some degree, augmented, vary- | ing from 6 and 9 to 18 and 27 cases per day, and the deaths averaging about 6 per day, In Moscow, at the lart date, the dirense b ly disappeared; and, abated; and at Tamboff, Taganroc. and other pl entirely disappeared, The cold it was beginning to snow at the latest date. [From the Boston Courier, Dee. 7 J A letter from Smyrna, of October 31, received in this city, states that the cholera had broken out anew there. with » dozen new cases per day. It was feared that the sickness would increase, as the rainy season was about to fet In; and it was the opinion of the in. babitante, that the deaths from the disease would amount to two hundred and fifty a day, as in the warmest days there is a continual mist rising from the city, which conduces to the disease. | The Annexation of the Island of Cuba to the United States, [From the London Times, Nov. 11] If the alleged purticulars of that new development of the persion for territorial aggrandizement, nounced im the last intelligence from the United States, are founded oa fact, a negotiation has been ending for some months betw the Cabinets of Warhiegton and Madrid, for the cession to the former power of the rich island of ( uba. in consideration of a tun. of money to be presently paid down. The A\ can journale are duly impressed with the importance | of the supposed transaction, which they represent as certain to create a prodigious sensation throughont Europe; but, without denying the reasonableness of some such apprehensions, we conceive that the sub- ject need hardly be permitted ro completely to upset our equanimity or disturb our judgment ‘The dieporition of the Spanish government to part with this outlying portion of it eseions calls for no eeprcial criticiem; but of its right, by any maxims of morality or public law, to slienate its most markets ble property to the detriment of its just creditors, great deal more might be surely sald if we were in- clined to insist upon the point, Large sums of money were advanced upon trust by this country to the Spanich government ; and if that government depre- ciates the national inhesitance, and thereby the na- tional credit, for any purpose excepting the discharge diminction of its debts, it will be furnishi “4 to ted rtate above ao indebted individual.

Assuming .however. that the eminsaries of the States may bave availed themeelven of the opportunities afforded at Madrid by our abandonment of that famous field ef diplomacy, and that negetiations are really pending for the sale of Cuba, w fi iter for inrespeetively of ints mentioned above, in the general conrequences likely to follow upon ruch a change of hi \. the first place. one- balfof the slave trade would be summarily struck off, and thie Infamous traffic, which #0 effectually defies our misjndged efforta to suppress it, would be reduced to auch ex; ‘as the then isolated demands of Brazil might require. Even on the abstract question of sla- y very in Cube there woul nag | bea hot dispute among the States of the ‘nion, for the stern provinces are too resolutely bent the ‘institution’? to permit firmation in any new State for even if it be true that many estates of the island are already owaed and worked, without apy qualms of conscience, by Ameri- can proprietors, yet tranractions which eoult be carried on under Spanish colors will cea. to be prac- tleable when Cuba has become a recognized member of the Union, and the slavery of three plantations will, at all events, assume that modified and terminable form which it wears in Georgia and Carolina. Nor is there any reason to suppose, on the other hand, that the production of sugar will be diminished by arudden proscription of the machinery which is now ro unrerupulously employed in its manufacture. On the contrary, we should be justified ratl concluding that the encerprire of the American oha- racter would so far counterbalance the nefarious ap- plianees of Spanish avarice as to give a new atimu- lus to the agriculture of the island, at the same time that its competition with our own colonies vould be placed on a less invidious footing than at present, ‘Tie, at least, we should anticipate ag the eventful result, though it is not to be disguised that the organs of popular opinion in the Southern States of the Union have been offering, in their anxiety to concillate the Cuban colonists, such termg of au- nexation as could only result in a state of things not virtually differing from that which now exists. Un- fortunately, ovr own colonies offer too tempting a con- to be negleot and the assurances that Cuba shall never be reduced to the state of, Jamaica may not unnaturally be taken to imply «stipulation that the relations between master and laborer shall never be subjected to thename legislative process. So conapieu- ously has the zeal of our abolitionists overran their diecretion, that their exertions may thus perpetuate the institutions which they were meant to destroy. To sucha pass have we brought the fortunes of our own planters, that the emaneipation of the blacks is pow an equivalent term to the ruin of the whites, and in order to preclude the one condition it becomes al- mort necessary to renounce the other, Tw political school which holds colonies as unwor- thy keeping. by the same maxion on which it takes ita stand upen commerce, wouid, of course, dieregard the influence which such @ cession as this might exert on the tennre of our own Atlantic possessions. Other parties might be more apprehensive of the results, but not, perhaps, with any great reason. Indeed, except from the contrast which would be offered by just and honorable dealings of the aupreme government with its ipsular citizens, we scarcely see how the change of masters in Cuba could materinily affect us, Ass mere point of vantage ground, the possession of the Ha- vana would confer no great additional opportunities; and as to the prejudices likely to originate in the con- tratted results of two systems of West Indian policy, we must take the consequences of our ownacts. The hour of trial, however, may not be imminent, and the notification ‘may be rather the expression of a tradi- tioral ambition than the publication of an accom- plished fact. At least, we can certify, that if we had always placed Implicit reliance on those sources of in- formation in the Spanish eapitol to which our transat- Jantic cotemporaries so proudly appeal, we should have introduced our readers to many stories far more poncertos than the bargain and sale of a West India island.
