Fever at Norfolk and Porlimumh. A correspondent of ibe South Side Democrat, under date of the 14th instant, buys; "The fever, I um happy to bay, seems to be abating, probably on aocount of the small num ber to feed upon. There were, however, about (illy burial* yesterday. Dr. Upshur in reported worse to-day. Dr. Gordon, health officer, is dangerously ill of the fever. Dr. Balfour is re ported dead at the springs, Dr. Cowdry is down with tho fever. tight of our native physician* have died; Drs. Hinging, Constable, Nush, Sil vester, sr. and jr., Hulson, Balfour, and Briggs. Dr. Win. Selden is sick in Richmond. Drs. Hardy and Campos ure both down. Drs. Moore, H. Seidell, and Tuubtall, only keep up, but they are nearly overcome with fatijjue. Many physi cians, too, from other cities have died, or have been taken with the fever, as you have seen. There ure others, however, from New Orleans, Charleston, Baltimore, Richmond, who are doing good service, and, indeed, all that faithlul and skillful men can do to relieve the sick and alleviate the suffering. Honor to them! They! will never bb forgotten by our citizens." Tho arrival of orphans at Richmond is thus ^ noticed by the Enquirer of Saturday last: "Twenty-seven orphans, mostly, if not all, females, ranging from six months to ten years of, nge, caino up yesterday afternoon in the steamer Curtis Peck, from Norfolk, and were conveyed from the boat, in omnibuses, to the commodious and pleasant quarters fitted up for them at the Catholic College near this city. These littlo un fortunates were nicely and comfortably clad, and were accompanied by several female nurses, | amongst whom wo recognized one or two Sisters of Charity. There were in tho number several mere babes, too young to walk, and some appa rently in very delicate health. A large crowd met them at the wharf, and their appearance ex cited a very deep and general sympathy." Tnk Orphans of Portsmouth.?The Richmond Dispatch of Saturday says: " Veslerduy evening there came up in in the Curtis Peek twenty-eight children in charge of the Rev. Thorns* Hume. They were all from Portsmouth. They were of all ages, fponi fifteen months to fifteen years. The number was diminished from several causes? some were claimed by their relatives, others were detained by the desire of friends or relatives who expected to be able to tiike charge of them, file.: but the chief reason was that the authorities of Portsmouth thought it be.?t to divide the num ber, sending u purl 6t a time. Upon tho arrival of the children they were taken in charge by the comniiitee, and were immediately conveyed to the College. They were accompanied by three Sister.- of Charily, who showed the most tender regard f ?r then'. More than live hundred dresses weie prepared for them by the ladies of lticlimond. They will be made very comfortable.'' From ihe Baltimore Clipper of Sept. 10, Norfolk, Sept. 14?As groat as the distress lias been, and still continues to exist in our un fortunate city, we fear that still more will be ex perienced when the absentees shall have returned to their houses. Many of those when they left, did not anticipate the horrors that have been acted in their absence, or the length of time the pestilence would continue. Their means will be exhaused before they can safely return, and they will come home forlorn, friendless, and penny less. Numbers are now, we hear, already destitute and subsisting on credit or charity. In view of such anticipations, which arc certuin to be realized, wo trust, that the Howard A^pociation, which lias already done an incalculable amount of good, will make preparations to prolong their minister ing cure over tho city during the approaching fall and winter, and that our generous brethren abroad will continue their Samaritan offerings. But fur thein poor Norfolk wo?ld have had guaut famine to finish the work begun by the spectral pestilence. Our wisest citizens anticipate the evils ulhidcd to above, but most of tlicm are still too feeble to confer together and adopt plans to mitigate them. There U still another cause for apprehension. Nearly all ol u:ir merchant* and retail store keeper* have b it the city, ?nd in their absence thir otes nnd acrcptancex have been dishonored and pretexted The protects have olten amounted to forty <1 tily. How are these to be met ? The banks have been HH>M nccninmodating and would willuuly renew alt aceonimodHiion and busmen* paper, when it is possible- But in numerous instance.-, the maker or endorser, and in many, both are dead, fo these ca?es, payment will have to be enforced real estate disposed of at enormous sacrifices ami mitlV-rinur and distress follow It wilt take ten years for Norfolk to re cover this overwhelming blow. Th'*re nave been comparatively but few new cases to day, and those chiefly umong the blacks, who withstand the disease much IxMter than whiles. They pa** safely through forms of the fever,that would inevitably kill white persons. New York.?The general relief committee of this city has authorized tho remittance of $9,000 for the relief of the Norfolk sufferers. In New York there is great excitement in re gard to the Board of Health quarantining Balti more vessels. Many southern and western mec chants now here have signed and published a card deuouncing it as an outrage on Baltimore, and declaring they have never found our city in t more healthy condition, and assuring their fronds at home that there is no epidemic here. Deaths in Portsmouth on Friday eighteen, and on Saturday twelve. There is a great decrease of new rases in l?otli cities. Miss Patterson, of Philadelphia, is not dead, as heretofore an nounced. Columbia, S. C., Sept. 1">.?--The collections in this city thus far amount to $2,000, and they will bo increased considerably. Baltimore.?The relief fund of this city has now reached 434,000. Ainrrii nim tn Australia. The Paris correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune contributes the following extract from a private letter written by a Englishman in Aus tralia: " You, who have been so much in America, will not be surprised when I ssy that the Ameri cans are by far the best men in this country. You know well their enterpise, but even if you will lie astonished at the following piece of sta tistical information. At Ballarant, according to the census commission, the population is 22,000, of whom only 240 are Americans. In order to drain the water from the deep sinkings, and also to wash the stuff, there are seven steam engines and machines; of these four belonged and were worked solely by Americans. All the great con tracts are taken by them; the lines of stages to and from the 'diggings' that are accessible to wheels, and few arc not, are all Yankee; tho coaches either Troy or Albany built; the harness and all from the same country. In coming into the bay you will notice that all the fine ships are American; the best of hotels are theirs; in fact, they are improving our population out of the place altogether. Thk Woi'\t>Kt> At lloRunoToh.?l)r. Clytloner, of Philadelphia, who still continues in attendance on the wounded by thd railroad accident at Bur lington writes to the Philadelphia ledger lhat th# sufferers, nineteen in number, remain without any remarked change* for the worse. Some time nni?t yet elapse before some of them enn l>e removed to their homes with safety. The body of Mr. Otis Fisk was removed on Saturday to Con necticut. where lie leave* a widow and ten chil dren. The wounded remaining are Mrs Gillespie, Mr and Mis* Newbold, Mr*. Hulseman, Mrs Boyce. Mrs.'Csroline Pringle, and Me-srs. Kelley. Firtlcy, O'Ksne, Pew. Pixey, Taylor, Mrs. Phelps, and the servant girl Caroline. M'lU IUchil?The presence of this accom plished actress in New \ork ha* roused the wits of lhat city either to make or to remember nume roil* anecdote* about her, some of which are quite j amusing. We translate the following from the i '? Conner dr* lit at* J 'nit." She owns quite a pretty couniry-house in the vslly of Montmorency, to which ?he has given the funny name of My Health. This lead* occasionally to strange mis conceptions. Being asked one day, "IIow is your health, Mademoiselle?"' "Tolerable," she answered; '"but the hard wind the other day blew down its weather-vane." Her interlocutor, ?f course, did not understand her, and looked amazed. A note is now going the rounds, nd dressed by her to a brick-layer, in the following term*: "Sir. on the receipt of this do me the favor to send to Montmorency three hundred well burnt brick*, wanted for the repair of my health A Canadian money authority estimates that $2,600,(MM) in gold wns sent last year from the I'nited States to the British Provinces.

In the folloWing letter, which has been delayed . on it* way to this city, our Havana correspondent gives the puticulars of a lamentable occurrence that was alluded to in his lettea of a week later dale, published on Saturday last, Havana, September 1, 1655 ?Vle*i?ra. ,nul A: Seaton : Our community has been painfully surprised by the death of the lion. George Canning Backhouse, Commissioner of the " Uritish and Spanish Mixed Court of Justice," which took place last evening at his residf.no**. He was killed by assassins, who hnd entered the premises, at 7 o'clock P. M., while Mr. Backhouse was seated at table, after his dinner, with a friend, Mr. Thomas Callughan. Five negroes rushed into the dining room and tied the two gentlemen before they could make any effectual reaistenoe, but Mr. Backhouse continu ing his effort* to free himself, he was stabbed, lie livi-d some little time from the inlliclion of the wound The object was robbery, which was not consummated, probably, as intended, because the negri ??* hail ouly lime to take a.watch and some trifling articles of the table servjee. One of the -ervanis or the porter of the house, ran to the nearest police office to g|ve the alarm as soon as the negroes entered the dining-room, and returned in time with assistance to apprehend one of the gang as he was escaping over a fence in the rear of the premises. This class of crime has been rather frequent ol late in that vicinity?outside of tae walls, in the suburbs called " Buenos Ay res." Anniversary of the Surrender ok the Citt of Mexico.?A number of the surviving officers or the army in Mexico met on Friday evening in New York, and organized an association to be called "The Montezuma Society," whose object shall be a yearly reunion of such of the surviv ing officers of the Moxican war as can convene, not for the purpose of celebrating their own deeds, but merely for a convivial gathering of old acquaintances whose privations and honor have been alike shared. The officers of the society are as follows: President?Coin. Matthew C. Perry, IJ. S. Navy. First Vice President?Brig. General Ward B. Burnett. Second Vice President?Commander Engle, U. S. Navy. Third Vice President?Lieut. Col. J. J. Aber crorfitiie. Fourth Vice President?Major Gen. Robert Patterson. Secretary?Capt. M. Lovell, U. S. Anny. Treasurer?Chief Engineer Jessie Gay, U. S. Navy. Afler the formation of the society dinner was announced at half-past seven. The festivities were continued until a late hour, with toasts and music, when the company separated, highly pleased with the proceedings.??AT. F. Sun. Another Powder Mill Explosion. The Genesee powder mills, situated in Brighton, (N. Y.) five miles, east of Rochester, blew up oil Thursday evening. No lives were lost. The buildings destroyed were four in number, viz. two cylinder nulls, corning house, and press. They were situated a few rods apart and heavy embank ments of earth raised between them. There were prob.tljly four or five hundred kegs ol' powder hi the buildings at the time of the explosion, As the custom has been, the saltpetre was put into the cylinders with the charcoal and brimstone at live o clock, when the workmen withdrew, leaving the mills lo operate without attendance during the night. About an hour after leaving the mills they blew up, making- four distinct explosions in quick succession. The shock was tremendous? sufficiently great to break glass in houses several miles distant. These mills have exploded four times in the last eighteen months, and the new millshad only been in operation six weeks*, M ammo hi Gtns.?The English are casting shells for the Crimea three feet through and weighing over a ton each.

Ihe ' ildiuif operations were to meet the demand lor tene ment* ; house-Jieepera, and those who designed establishing themselves as such, finding it difficult to procure the accommodations uecessary to their domestic eo iu fori. Capital, which was more plentiful than it now is, was exchanged for piles of brick and mortar, and mauy waste places were filled up with handsome structures ; thus improv ing the appearance of the metropolis, and adding to its substantial wealth, and giving the Corpora tion a much larger income from taxation. The spirit of speculation in city lots, which succeeded the Congressional " Compromise ol lSr>0, occasioned lively times among those who had "loose change" to invest in that description of property ; but that fever has subsided, leaving, how ever, much of ihe "dirt" at a figure higher than it* real value. There are now many lots in the market; but the holders generally are unwill ing to -ell unle-s at an exorbitant advance over their original purchase-price. In addition to the erection of houses at present t within prudent bounds, we notice that not a lew of our citizens are adding stories to their old tene menu, and, in a number of cases, the Ironts are painted, or supplied with coats of plaster, and the appearance otherwise improved, in accordance with the latest styles of architecture. In every neighborhood such operations have either been recently completed, or are iu progress All these movements are indicative of thrill and enterprise on the part ol our citizens. We have, iu addition, to stole that important public works supply the means of subsistence to hundreds, if not thousands, of worthy mechanics and laborers. The Capitol. Treasury.

The system he follows to facilitate the acquisition of the Freuch Language, uuum in due pioportion theory and practice; by which are avoided the difficulties the student often meets with u pursuing one of the many theoretical grammar*, not sufficiently show ing the idiomahcal part of the language, or a prac tical one, in which the necessary grammatical rules, it not entirely, at .'east far too much, are neglected. In following these theoretical gram mars, the studprit must have experienced that after having devoted a long time to the mere me morizing of sentences, he tiud himself in posses sion ol a number of set phrases, valuable it is true, but from which, destitute of landmarks, the slightest deviation muat lead him into unknown regions. 1 he advertiser leels confident mi the assertion that the pupil, in adopting his method, may, with a little ellort, alter a course ol forty-etght lessoDn, understand and speak the French, and find the as sistance of a teacher not necessary in the further prosecution of the studies ot that language.
