The remains ofone of the victims of cholera, in
Cincinnati, was placed in the vault of a grave yard, '
where it remained about twenty-four hours, when,
in the presence of friends and relatives, it was la- '
> ken out for burial, and, awful to behold, the feu- '
tures of the corps were found to be hideously dis- |
torted, his shroud torn, and his fingers?which
were between his teeth?bitten and gnawed to the
very bone.
Another Cincinnati paper relates the case of a
man who rose from his coffin while the burial setvice
wus nerforming. It adds that "the conster

' immediately, some were incredulous, and some be- j
lieved a miracle had been performed. This scene
took place on Walnut street above Canal, nnd may
be ascertained by any one disputing our report. At |
lust accounts the person was doing well.. We understand
the cause of the man's stupor was too
large a quantity of cholera medicine given him,
containing opium."
A Patent Rotary Sewino Machine, the inven- ! i
tion and property of Messrs John A. Lerow & S. ! ]
C. Blodgett, is being exhibited at Mr. M. A. Root's <
Daguerreotype show rooms, corner of Chestnut and i
Fifth streets, Philadelphia.
We stepped in yesterday, by invitulion, to see it |
in operation, and found it a very ingenious, a very |
simple, and, from our judgment, a very effective
instrument. We do not know the technical terms
used by tailors for different kinds of stitches ; but
this machine makes what we would call a lockstitch.
It resembles, in outward appearance, the
double stitch used in harness-making, but instead i
of being the same in reality, the two threads used I
by the machine, by being made to cross each other, | .
lock together within the punctures made by the i
needle in the cloth, and thence reluming, stretch to
the next stitch or puncture, where they again cross
and lock as before, and so on, each of the threads >
extending upon the same side of the cloth through- .
out.
Tailors, dressmakers, &c., can tell better than we J
can as to the applicability of thia stitch to the va- j
rious purposes required. It sews in circular shape
or in straight lines, according to a chalked mark, j
and is said to be capable of completing one yard

A gardener, a few days ago, turned up, in the
garden of W. P. Fessenden, esq., on State street, in
Portland, a piece of metul 30 encrusted that he supposed
it to be an old copper: but, on rubbing it, he
peroeived it to be silver, and when thoroughlycleansed,
it appeared to be a silver shilling of the
reign of Queen Elizabeth, dated "1579." About a
third part of the coin is eaten away by rust; the remainder
is in good preservation, and the figures and
inscriptions in good condition.
More Copper.?The propeller Napolton brought
to Sault de Ste. Marie, on the 14th instant, ninety
tons of copper from the Cliff mine, for the Pittsburg
and Boston Mining Company, and six tons from
Isle Royalc, for the Isle Royale and Ohio Company.

New Yoke, June 28, 4 p. m.
the choleee.
To-<lay sixty new cmbm and twenty-nine deaths
are reported. Although the number of cases, considering
the extent of our population, is not great,
yet the persistence of the epidemic, and the very
great fatality which has steadily accompanied its
visitation, being about fifty per cent, are well calculated
to excite alarm. As I have intimated in u
former letter, there is reason to upprehend thul the
treatment of this disease has not been always the
most judicious. It does not present generally the
same type as that of the Asiatic cholera when it last
appeared on this continent. It partakes more of
the character of a malignant bilious diurrhaea, the
treatment of which, especially in the early stages,
ought to be very different from that to be pursued
in the spasmodic cholera. Very likely, too, the
dread ol a loose state or the bowels has prevented
many persons from using the mild aperients or mercurial
preparations which arc so useful at this period
of the year.
I must say that I do not regard the course of the
medical authorities here as wise or judicious, or
suited to the emergency. Medical boards are not
ulways the most energetic, nor the most sagacious
bodies in the world. Not that I would utter a
syllable derogatory to the high professional character
of the medical authorities here ; but it doeB appear
to me that we might have had, before this time,
an elaborate medical report on the subject, with all
the details which could be collected?a resume of the
researches and experience of physicians relutive to
this disease in all quurters of the globe, and explicit
directions us to the appropriate treatment. There
have been a looseness, a vagueness, a want of precision
and detail in all the notices which have emanated
from the medical board here, and in the cities,
that are to be regretted. To-day, the resident physician
issues a certificate to the effect that some disinfecting
fluid has been used in certain quarters of
the city, and that in all cases where it has been employed
the cholera has disappeared. Th is is a most
important announcement. But why was it not accompanied
by the facts ? Why did not Dr. Seer, a
very respectable physician, give us a detailed statement,
setting forth all the circumstances > What is

What are the grounds upon which the gratifying
announcement is made, that in all cases where this
agertt was used, the cholera disappeared ?
This is too grave a subject on which to trifle with
the feelings or the interests of the community.
Through you, I call upon the resident faculty in this
city to furnish the public, at once, with an elaborate
report on the whole subject of this fearful epidemic.
THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
After a terrible amount of chaffering, and hig- j
gling, and manoeuvring, and backbiting, and swear- j
ing, and drinking, it appears that something like a
union is about to take place between the two rival
factions of the Locofoco party in this city. A variety
of secret movements?some very amusing,
some very tragical, and some very characteristic?
have been going on for some time past in order to
effect this result. It is now said that a convention
of " the leaders"?save the mark !?are engaged in
preparing an address to " the party"?the united,
harmonious, patriotic party; and that the " Globe,"
which has been living from hand to mouth for a
long time, and was about to give up the ghost, is to
be furnished with funds,and be known hereafter as'
the " New York Union." True to its interests,
Locofocoism now goes in full pack after " the
spoils" which it smells afar off. There are some
incidents connected with all thess movements which
may amuse and edify your readers, and I shall give
them in due time.

This is one of the most interesting public offices in

of their misdeeds ; here, Peter Funks are confronted
by their victims; here, the violators of the city
ordinances, from the raw Irish servant maid, who
throws offals in the streets, to the great soap boiler
who is complained of as a " nuisance," are brought
up for censure; here, too, lovers are often made
perpetually blessed by being linked together in
Mie holy bonds of wedlock. Yesterday afternoon,
one of the latter scenes occurred, quite romantic.
A very lovtly girl, with a complexion " fair as the
fleece that clothes the Alpine hills," and heiress to
a large fortune in Germany, was united to her
" bosom's lord," a gallant, stalwart man, and a native

a cruel father, or stern uncle, or wicked old aunt,
or some other equally infamous monster, had denied
them at home.

THE REPUBLIC,
Boston, June 27, 1649.
incendiarism has increased so much of lale in
Boston and its vicinity, that it has been found necessary
greatly to increase the rates of insurance to
meet the augmented risk. A week or two since
repeated attempts were made to fire houses and
barns in Brookline. In one instance the incendiary
was shot at and wounded, but escaped to utter
anonymous threats against the whole town and the
house where he was baffled, in particular. A day
or two afterwards a barn at Jamaica Plain was
tired and consumed, in conformity with a threat,
lliat it should be done if the occupant did not send
the writer fifty dollars. And night before last, there
were three incendiary fires, almost simultaneous, in
Roxbury, attended with loss of property und the
burning of seven horses. Great excitement prevails
in consequence of these utrocitiea. It is evident
that there is an organized gang of fiendish depredators,
who have become bold and expert in
incendiarism by practice, and who are withheld t
only by fear of the vigilance of the inhabitants from I
firing every house and barn in the vicinity. The
most energetic measures for ferreting out these
wretches are earnestly called for by citizens.
Threatening letters, in a handwriting similar to
that which menaced the destruction of the barn in
Brookline, which menace was fulfilled, have been
received by other parties; and the success which
has attended the efforts of the incendiaries thus far,
in spile of all the vigilance employed against them,
seems to baffle prevention.
A semi-annual Horticultural exhibition, of three
days1 duration, is now open in our city; and, for
the present, Horticultural Hall is the resort of
fashion and beauty, as well 04 of a large attendance
which might not be appropriately classed under
those heads. The show of roses is superb ; there j
being thousands of varieties. The grapes exhibited
are the largest and finest I have ever seen; some
of the " Canon Hall " variety being as large as the
largest pigeon's eggs. 1 was particularly interested
in some very beuutiful orchideous plants, sent by
Mr. Lowell, of Koxbury, which thrived on charcoal
and dry fragments of earthen ware, instead of
good loamy soil. One variety of these plants has
its roots exposed to the air, and is a vegetable paradox,
conducting itself just as all other vegetables
do not, and having a dower like an insect.

a puff, ( must be permitted to say something; of
the newly enlarged hotel, of which we Bostonians
are now bragging?I mean the Revere House.
We assert that we now have the best public house
in the country; and, with'all deference to the others,
1 will say, come and judge for yourselves if we are
not right. The recently added wing is, in itself, a
palace. It contains 102 rooms, making the number
in the whole house 329. Thia new wing is 165
feet long and between 60 and 70 wide. Upon the
first floor is a straight suite of three spacious and
superbly appointed parlors, the third of which
opens upon a lady's ordinary of lofty and elegnnt
dimensions. Over this are three stories, with a
suite of eleven large and exquisitely furnished parlors
on every story ; so that, throwing the doors j
open, you have a beautiful coup-d'ceil from the |
first to the eleventh. The carpets of these rooms
are almost all of American manufacture ; the most I
sumptuous being some velvet and tapestry carpets, j
manufactured at Roxbury, in this State. I believe j
there are specimens of the same in the White
House, at Washington. Mr. Paran Stevens is the ,
host of the Revere House; and I need not say j
more in his behalf, than that ail the internal arrangements
of the establishment are worthy of the '
splendid and commodious appointments which first
elicit the admiration of visitors.

Philadelphia, June 28, 1849.
The approach of Freedom's birth-day is evi- j
denced by the explosion of innumerable fire-crackers,
and thryixx of an occasional rocket, which results
sometimes in bon-firra somewhat more extensive
than those contemplated by John Adams in his
famous speech. The fact is, the roofs of the houses
are so dry that they occasionally go off of their
own accord?at all events, the slightest spark is
sufficient to put them in ablaze. Two or three !
houses have been fired in this way, and the mayor
has accordingly issued a proclamation, prohibiting,
under pains and penalties, the exhibition of any ;
kind of fire-works in the street*. Patriotism, how- I
ever, like murder, (pardon the comparison) "will
out," and 1 venture to predict that there will be
juat aa many crackcra fired, aa many rockets set
off, and aa much powder burnt, on the ensuing
Fourth of July, aa on any previous anniversary of {
that glorious day, our worthy mayor's proclamation
to the contrary notwithstanding.
Talking about patriotism, General Patterson, ;
who, your readers are aware, "served his country"
in the late war, is a candidate for the office of Brigadier
General of one of the divisions of the Penn-J
sy Ivama militia. It is thought that he will run well.
Picnics are popular with us. Parties are out
every day, and the pleasant retreats in the vicinity
of the city are constantly thronged with " lads and
lasses," with bright faces and happy hearts. There
is an abundance of fun and frolic, but sometimes a
" practical joke" throws a damper on the scene as
effectually an would a hailstorm. As, for instance,
a cruel wag, a few days since, walked off with the
bonnets, mantillas, Ac., die., belonging to the Indies
attached to one of these pleasure parties, and they 1
were compelled to return to town mtmu those indispensable
articles, at the risk of catching shocking
colds and terrible scoldings from their affectionate
mammas. It was cruel, it was outrageous. |
So thought the alderman before whom ths offender
was brought, wlfn bound him over in f500 to
a nawer.
The Central railroad will be opened on or about
the 90th of July next, as far a* Miller's town, a
distanoe of thirty miles above Harrisburg; and the
entire line to Lewistown will be completed by
the middle of August. The railroad bridge over
the. Susquehanna, which waa partially destroyed a
few months since, is nearly finished. The Philadelphians
look forward to the completion of this
road with great anxiety. It will be an era m the
existence of Philadelphia, and will prove of incalculable
importance to her. Her people have ?o
long l?een naleep lo their own interests, ao aecure
in their imagined strength, or ao ignorant of the
advantage* of auch a road, and the facilities for
making it, thot the enterprising New Yorkers came
wallmgh "circumventing" them in the construction
of the New York and Erie railroad. And theencrgetic
Baltimoreans may do so yet, if our citizens
do not contribute lilierally and freely, snd immediately,
to the work. I^et them do this, and they
will soon perceive the results in the rapid growth
and extension of the city; in the increase of popu
l&tion; in the erection of private palaces and public
warehouses; in the (touring in of all the products
of the vast West, and in the accumulation of unbounded
wealth.
Several deaths have occurred, within a day or
two, from drinking copiously of cold water. The
utmost caution should be observed during the prevalence
of an epidemic, and at this season of the
year. Some persons will never listen to advice,
will never bestow a thought upon what or when
they eat, or whul they drink, until it is too late. I
believe that nine-tenths of the deaths by cholera
are produced by some excess or indiscretion on the
part of the sufferer.
It is now stated that porter and other malt liquors
are not wholesome beverages. A correspondence
between some medical gentlemen and the brewers
of Baltimore has been published, from which it
appears that the men employed in their respective
establishments have not been attacked by any of
the diseases incident to the season. A similar inquiry
was instituted in this city in 1832, when the
cholera raged so violently, which resulted in the
same way.
A meeting of the Young Men's Democratic
Whig Association wus held this evening, at which
a committee was appointed to invite President Taylor
to visit thiB city, and remain here as long as possible,
on his wuy north.
Forty cases of cholera to-day and thirteen deaths;

The Cotton Crop of lU8-'fl.
We annex some additional views in reference to
the probable amount of the etock of cotton at the
close of the present season:
The stock of cotton in all the southern
ports is - - - - 129,000
lu all the inland towns, accurately ascertained
----- 40,000
In New York - - - - 84,000
Making the entire stock - - 253,000
If we receive 60,000 lialcs more of old cotton,
it will be all we shall get up to the
incoming of the new crop, say to October
22 60,000
313,000
There are now forty-five vessels loading
In the southern putts for Orest Britain,
France, and the Continent. At the
moderate average of 1,700 bales each,
they will take - - - 70,000
And forty-three loading in New
York for Great Britain and
Havre. Suppose twenty of
them to take more or less of
cotton?averaging 800 hale* - It,000
92,000
Then the stock will be immediately reduced
to .... 221,000
Consumption of United States up to 22J
October, 4 months, at 45,000 - - 180,000 !
Which would leave - - 41,000 !
hales for stocks at New York, aouthern ports, and 1
inland towns, and for exports to foreign countries
up to Octol?er 22, beyond what will be taken by
snips now loading.

Telegraph Office, lj p. m.,
81 John, N. B., June 28.
The wires have been down from la?t night until
now. The steamer Hibernia, Capt. Stone, arrived
at Halifax yesterday afternoon, with 70 passengers j
lor New York and 22 for Halifax. She left for
New York at about 4 o'clock, and will arrive at her
wharf at an early hour on Saturday morning. By
her we have dates one week later from all parts of
fclurope.
The Canada arrived at Liverpool on Tuesday
morning.
The Caledonia, as we learn fyom the officers of
the Hibernia, was seen on Sunday afternoon, and
would arrive at Liverpool on Tuesday morning.
The celebrated steamer Great Britain has been
purchased by Mr. Gillings, of London, and is to
be fitted out to run between Liverpool and New
Yljjji.
Accident to the Steamer United Slates.
The steamer United States arrived at Liverpool
just as the Hibernia left. When 24 hours out trout
New York she struck on a south shoal off Nantucket,
where she remained for four hours, and
threw overboard 70 tons of coal; she subsequently
damaged one of her boilers, so much as. to render
it useless for the remainder of the pussage. She
will undergo the necessary repairs at Liverpool.
The United Slates passed the Sarah Sands the
day previous to her arrival at Liverpool.
Cholera in England and France.
The cholera has again appeared in England, and
several cases have occurred in Manchester and other
parts of the country.
At Paris the cholera is making the most frightful
havoc?even more so than in 1837. Upwards of
11,000 deaths have already occurred, and in one
day there were about 900 cases and 600 deaths re
ported. Marshal Bugeaud and many other persons
of eminence have fallen before the scourge.
It has broken out anew in Silesia, Vienna, and
Presburg, and iB raging most fearfully at Alexandria
and Cairo, in Egypt.
England.
The Navigation Laws?Repudiation by the British
Government qf French Interference in Roman Affaire.
The bill for the abrogation of the Navigation
Laws passed the House of Lords without material
amendment, on the 12th, and has received the royal
sanction. The bill will go into effect in January.
The disabilities bill was passed by the House of
Commons by a majority of 56. Its success in the
House of Lords was considered very doubtful.
The British Government repudiates all cognizance
or sanction of the proceedings of the French
in their treatment of the Romans.
Smith O'Brien, through his counsel, denies the
legality of the commutation of his sentence of death
to transportation, and the government have to provide
for this unlooked for difficulty by special act
of Parliament.
Different and apparently reliable statements are
mude from parts of Ireland to the efTect that the potato
rot has made its appearance in some instances,
but generally the vines look vigorous.
The weather is represented as continuing very
favorable, and the crops, in nearly all parts of England
and Ireland, are said to look unusually promising.
In the debate in Parliament upon the Canadian
Losses bill, Mr. Gladstone interposed a most furious
opposition to the measure, and his remarks
are said to have made a marked impression in the
House. He contended that on the passage of the
bill involved imperial as well as local considerations,
and that its provisions were at variance with the
honor and dignity of the crown.
After passing warm tributes to the talents of Lord
Elgin and the spirit of his administration, he avowed
that it would be the duly of the government to
leave this act in operation, trusting that its opponents,
whom he believed loyal men, would, when the
present excitement was over, endeavor to arrest its
cfii uuiib?^ucucc8. ? uai a uhca-v acuun wuuiu uc
most likely to satisfy Canada, he had declared at
once the policy which the government ought to
pursue.
Lrf>rd John Russell complained of the tmdcnoy
of Mr. Gladstone's speech, and said it would only
aggravate the dissensions in Canada, embitter the ;
feelings of hostile parties, and that he has staled
the case of one party in opposrion, supplying them
with arguments, and making their rase.
He denied that the sense of the Canadian people ;
had been pronounced in favor of the measure. That
even if it had, he did not admit that this should be
an ultimate criterion. It involved the Highest imperial
considerations, and should be subject to the
decision of the Imperial Parliament alone. He did
not ask the Government u> disallow the set, but for
an assurance that, under that act, rebels should not
he comjienaated ; but that that pany should produce
reasons, prima facie evidence, before receiving any
public money, that they had not taken part in
the rebellion.
Lord John waa followed by several rllher speakers;
and, after a warm discussion, a division was
taken upon the question that the debate should be
postponed to the 15th inst.
Lord John Russell has given notice in Parliament
that the financial statement of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer would be deferred ull another week.

Inturrtctum in PariM.?On Wednesday, an inciSient
insurrection was attempted in Paris by about
5,000 of the Mountain party, headed by M. Etienne
Arago, jr., and was suppressed by the troops,
whose number amounted to 70,000. Several at- i
tempts were made to erect barricades. In the
evening, ihe Assembly declared itaelf en permanence,
and passed a decree declaring Pans in a slate of |
siege.
On Thursday the alarm had considerably subsided,
and business, which was entirely suspended
the day previous, w^s generally resumed.
At one time the peril wss imminent, and nothing ,
but the courage and prudence or the President,
aided by firmness and sagacity, prevented the most
sedfcus consequences.
Numerous arrests have taken place, including
several memliera of the Aaaembly, M. Arugo and
Ledru Rollin being among them.
The laat accounta report a state of tranquillity,
but there was an uneasy feeling nfloat that a renewed
attempt would be made to upset the Government,
and tnat, when it comes to the point, the
troops will not prpve steady.
Rheims reported in full insurrection?A Government
of Red Republican* established
The city of Rheims is reported to be in full insurrection,
and to have established a Government of
the Red Republicans.
National Guard of Paris again*! the rote of the Assembly.
The demonstration of the Aaaembly, to support
the cause of the Pope, and to put down the Roman
Republic, was seized upon in order to make a de- j
monatration in favor of the Roman Republic, and '
at the same time against the Government; and in '
the Legislative Aaaembly notice was accordingly
inscribed, which was carried.
IMterfrom France?Important.
A very alarming demonstration ort the part of the
Red Republicans look place on the 13th mat., and
for a time the revival of the terrible insurrection of
June appeared probable. The affair commenced in
a demonstration got up by the Red Republicans as
a protest.

L.H..I L>?.... .1.11 1.1.
From Rome we learn that the French army commenced
the attack |on the 30th ultimo, and after a
mnguinnry engrtHrment, in which the Romans lost
*?0 men, succeeded in carrying aeveral important
^>oata.
A aeries of attacks have since taken place, in
which the victory is variously stated, but in which
lie invading army has suffered most.
The French presses publish conflicting reports of
the operations of the army, but from accounts received
to the 5th instant, it is clear that General
Dudinot had not then gained access to the city,
though he hud gained a position at the north of
Rome, which would enable htm to command the !
city
The latent despatch from Gen. Oudinmia to the
6th inst., at which time he opened hia trenches, and
had regularly beaieged the city.
There is no appearance of yielding on the part of
the Romans, but, on the contrary, every thing goes
to confirm the belief that thev would make a most
determined resistance, and fight to the last.
Alt the Socialist or Red Republican journals at
Paris, except the National, have been suppressed,
since Wednesday.
Hungary.
kossulk Proclaimed Prendtnl of the Hungarian Republic.
Kossuth has arrived in Pesth, and has been received
in the capital as the President of the Hungarian
Republic.
It would seem that hostilities are still carried on
in the south between the Hungarians and the scattered
remains of the Austrian army, supported by
the Russians; but the reports which reach us are so
vague and contradictory, it is not deemed advisable
to transmit them by telegraph.
Proclamation from the Russian Genera I to the Hungarians.
The Russian Oenersl has issiiait ?
to the Hungarians, the pith of which is, that if they
do not lay down their arms and submit to their fate
with a good grace, they will be made to feel the
consequences of their presumption.
Every effort is being made to rouse the people,
and the Magyar government has ordered the clergymen
to preach against the Russians.
The struggle in Baden in full play.
In Baden the revolutionary struggle is now in full
^ "/lie Prince of Prussia has left Berlin to take

Commercial, Summary, and Markets.
Liverpool, Saturday, June 16.?Owing to the
stirring events on the continent, to which the week
has given birth, business was somewhat restricted,
though not to the extent which would have been
apprehended.
The markets for corn and breadstuffs maintain
more than average firmness, although the transactions
will not, in extent, bear comparison with
those of the preceding week. Quotations have
been well supported.
The accounts from Manchester last night report
no change of any moment. Transactions nave
slightly diminished, in consequence of higher rates
being demanded by producers, which buyers are
unwilling to give.
V lowing the recent rise in cotton as untenable,
upon the whole the market wears a healthy aspect.
The National securities have been firm throughout
the week. Notwithstanding the attempted revival
of the insurrection and turbulence in France,
and the distracted condition of central Europe, the
funds have maintained an upward tendency, closing
firmly last night. Consols 92$ a 2 for special transfer,
and 91 to | for account, without the dividends.
