Since the 2ith ultano. there have been feur cases, although the | doctors disngree as to some of the features of the | age. Yesterday there wus a case at the poor | jae. Several deuths have occurred, and of this, far the greater portion of our citizens have been kept inignorance.

This he peremptorily refuses to do, and throws himself under the broud panoply of the law. He complains of being treated improperly by them, and the cause of disagreement has been luid before Mr. Ewing for settlement. It is stated, that a Secretary caused two letters to be addressed, one to a chef clerk and the other to an ordinary clerk, democrats, asking thereon what grounds they expected to hold on to their situations. One of them was strongly backed by a cabinet officer, and the other replied, that he re- lied for a continuance in place on hia ability to perform the duties entrusted to him. Alexander D.

The drawing-room of the Atlantic is very much admired by visiters, especially the painting of the walls, which is chaste, elegant, airy and tasteful, representing birds of Paradise among fruite and flowers, and graceful wreaths. Many inquiries have been made who painted it, and it will doubt- less bring the skilful artist an increase of both fame and business, Tie hotels are beginning to fill, the hot weather precipitating the flight of the sum- mer fashionables, from the burning streets of the great cities. The Atluntic seems to be a favorite house, and not without cause, for the baron, its gentlemanly landlord, omits nothing that can be done to make his visiters feel happy and at home. There have never been so many visiters before a! Newport, eo early in the season, and everything promises that it will be an extraordmary year for the number and elegance of the families, visiters and equipages. We had some remarkable singular visitors, who arrived here yesterday from the Himlaya Moun- tuins of Hindostan, (the highest in the world) who came from the remote regions ot the rapid Indus, where the ambitious progress of Alexander the Greut terminated, and he returned back to Baby- Jon, satiaed with success eden to strike his friend Clytus in his cups, and die of delirium tre- mens. They were two Hindoo youths from the kingdom of Assam, in India, the one fifteen, the other about seventeen years old. They were ha- bited in their native Hindoo costume, light tur- bans, gracefully adjusted, not concealing their raven locks and high toreheads, with a long flowing tu- nie, such as the Grecian or Roman i. may be conceived to have been. Oa their slight, slim forms, this costume was quietly elegant. The youngest was a very handsome boy, with large, glistening eyes, regular and interesting features, | mouth rather large, but set with beautiful teeth, | the hair jet black und coarse, and the skin a bright copper color. Young as they were, seemed knowing a8 un American boy, They are juvenile specimens ef the people who first invented symbo- lie arithmetic or algebra, and the cotton manufac. | aleo, they are the first who bad the cholera, which hence is ealled, after the quarter of the globe they | live in—the Asiatic. Now, it is singular enough, they are a temperate people in eating and drink- | ing, never wsting fermented liquors, and eating nothing but rice. What, then, becomes of the theory, thatit is a disease whichchietly is confined to the internperate ? They were objects of general curiosity, and a crowd ot gentlemen gathered | round them to survey, examine and admire them. “Do they eat nothing but rice?” inquired a gen- tleman im the circle formed round them. “Oh, | deur, no,” was the reply; “they eat beef, and | mutton, and poultry, and all sorts of good things, | the same as we do, for don’t you know that they are converted they are Christians!” Oa heuring this, it seemed to me that it would | be no bad thing if the Irish, and perhaps some | other people, were converted too; methinks they would not dislike it. These youths, it seems, have been brought up and educated, from their early years, by the American missionaries in Hindostan. ’ They speak English fluently, aod are now ona tour through the United States, under the guidance of the missionaries, and aid, no doubt, by their pretty eppeurance and mteresting | history, 10 excite curiosity and siinmlate each audience before whom they appear, to a pretty liberal contribution. ‘These are some of the fraits and wonders of the great religious movement of the day. . ’ Yesterday (Fnday) was quite a cold day.

Tt was an extemporaneous | ball, and right merrily and gracefully did the gay pretty witches from New York, Boston and the South, foot it along to sound of merry music, forming a scene more enchanting than the dance of thore ugly witches in “Macbeth.” Governer Anthony und his lady led the dance, and senators, representatives, judges, lawyers and philosophers, daughters, followed. The chandeliers shed a soft light over the room, the | sounds of the harp, piano, and violin echoed | through the halls, the gentlemen tripped smiliagly slong in deep buff and white vests, the ladies’ checks glowed with animation and beauty, and | their lopguishing eyes were lighted up with the | excitement of exereixe.

The Air and Climate of Newport— Description of Rural Scenery—Evening Enteriainmenta— A Solitary Traveller come from the South—Soliloquy wpon @ Musyuito—Invitation to People to hae ten to Newport. Poets may sing and talk as much as they like about the sweet and lovely climate of Italy. Itis mere poetry. It 18 nothing to be compared with the climate of this delicious island.— Hee, there is no marshy land, no malaria, as in Italy—the whole country round is a gar. den of salubrity and health. If the people, lan- guiehing in sickly ennua in the hot interior of eome places, only knew that here they might be almost rejuvenated by the healthy breezes and balmy air, they would not postpone any longer the time of their departure for Newport ; they would hasten to luxuriate in this delicious climate, where a drive or a Walk in any of the beautiful rides and walks which abound throughout the neighborhood, is healthy and exhilarating, and putsryou in good spirits in spite of yourself and everything. There is no cholera here and no fear of it, for I learn that in former times of the epidemic, viz, in 82and 34, when it was prevaleat almost in every place at one time or other, all over the Umon, it never came bere. There were four cases which were import- ed, being persons who arrived sick, and they, on being here # litle while, recovered. There, now, $s encouragement and good prospects for the timid. There is neta place in the United States where there are more charming rural walks and plea- sunt drives than there are here; and the number of sweet villas and elegaat little country boxes, standing in the midst of shrubberies, gardens, acd romantic bosquets, with rose-bushes run- Bing up their sides like vines, and covered with innumerable roses in full bloom, and woodbines and jessamines and honeysuckles gracefully car- nied over trellis-work, sending forth a rich perfume, is truly astonishing, delightful and raviehing.— | Then, there is the Bahing-grovad, and, the walks on the sea-beach, and charming marine views from evesy poiut,, oflering, at every step, a new view ora variegated p cture bristhog with life and animation, In the distance is seen Fort Adams, with the flag of the United States floating over its turrets und battlements, and opposite to it the ruins of Fort Dumpling.
