We would request the attention of our Board
of Health to the annexed extract from a Procla
mation lately issued by the Board of Health of
the City of Philadelphia, on the subject of the
Cholera—its probable re-appearance amongst us,
and the measures proper to guard against its re
currence. The solemn facts addressed to the^
Philadelphians, by the enlightened Board of that
city, appeal with equal force to the inhabitants of
every place which has been visited by the deso
lating scourge. Let the People, as well as the
authorities, look to it, and do their part also, to
avert the threatened return of the destroyer.
[Nat. hit.
“ The Board of Health of the City and County
of Philadelphia would respectfully request the
attention of their fellow-citizens to the follow
ing Tacts.
44 From the experience of every country where
CHOLERA has at any time prevailed, there has
generally been a recurrence of the disease on the
return of the warm season, and this disposition to
repeated attacks has continued even to the pre
sent time, in places where the malady made its
appenrancc seveiai jra>a —--•
witnessing a return more or less fatal. •
It lias also been fully ascertained tliat the se
cond invasion of CHOLERA has been jilmust
unUonirly far more general and'Binrfal than the
first, and that it# prevalence and fatality have
been, in nearly everv instance, exactly in propor
tion to the FiLiHand whetchednf.ss of the pla
ces thus attacked. Tnia filth and wretchedness,
which renders this disease so dreadful, is not con
fined to the persons and clothing of the inhabi
tants, but is found in their HOUSES*, \ ARDS,
PRIVIES, STREET^, &c. and the measure
' of the destructiveness of CHOLERA, has often
been ascertained by a knowledge alone of the
cleanliness and purity of each place. 1 he same
effect of neglect and misery holifs good in the ex
tension and fatalitv of all MALIGNANT and
CONTAGIOUS Diseases, and their mildness
or severity has generally been in the exact ratio
to the care used in the prevention and removal of
every source of foul air.
“’With this extensive information of the expe
rience of so many countries, the Board would
consider they w:ere remiss in their desire for
the prospective health of their fellow citizens,
’ ’ if they delayed lo call their earnest attention to
the state of the city and districts. It is utterly
impossible that the Board can do every thing.—
They have invoked the assistance of the differ
ent authorities to procuie for them a knowledge of
every nuisance that may exist, anil they now call
upon their fellow citizens to inform them of
everv subject of complaint, or that may become
such’, on the return of the warm season. There
were many nuisances discovered the last sum
mer, whose entire removal the heat of
the weather prevented, but which were partial
ly remedied bv lime &c. and others, that by an
other season will become a fountain of disease.
It is to every thing of the kind the Board would
solicit the interest of the citizens, and if any re
main unattended to, »hey request such informa
tion as will enable them*Immediately to take the
measures that may be requisite.”
CHOLERA PREVENTIVE.
To the Editors:—Gentlemen: The following
extract from a communication just received from
an extensive biewinn establishment in the North,
it may be useful to publish, as it coutains facts
interesting to the growers of the materials used
in the manufacturing of malt liquois, and very
wholesome recommendations to persons dispos
ed to use them as a beverage, who may have been
halting between two opinions. Most respectful
ly, yours, 4 U.
* . Washington, April 8, 1833.
There will be two hundred bales of hops
-shipped to Frauce, from New York, during the
present month.
*• The French are naw going extensively into
the manufacture of malt liquors; and they have
sent to the United States for large quantities of
barley and hops, and to England for brewers.
• • Their low wines have been condemned,
. since the prevalence of the Cholera, as extremely
noxious; and it is stated that their armies have
demanded, and are to be supplied with, Ylk
instead. This provision is also to be exteuded
to the navy.”—AW. lot.
BEAUTIFUL STOCK.
On Wednesday last, we saw in-a stable at
tached to Mr. Myers* Rail Road stable, a Bull,
and a Cow and Calf of the Durham Short Horn
breed, the property of the H-»n. H Clay—which
were the finest specimens of that breed of cattle
that we have ever seen. They are admirably
formed, and weighed upwards of 2,900 pounds.
Sixteen pounds cf butter a week have been made
from the cream of the cow. They were raised
by John Hare Powell, E*q. and were purchased
from a gentleman in the vicinity of Philadelphia,
for the sunw>f $550. This valua'de addition to
the stock of the West, is destined for Ashland,
the highly cultivated and beautiful seat of Mr.
Clay,"and will confer lasting benefits on Ken
tucky.—Fredericktown (Md.) Herald.
r*b* We understand that Mr. Clay, in ad
dition to the above described animals, has pur
chased five Heifers and a young Bull of Mr.
Powell** improved English Cattle. The stack
raisers in this section of the State, for whose be
nefit, as well as his own, these purchases were
made by Mr. Clay, will duly appreciate the_pub
lie spirit and liberality of their neighbor, many
of whom have expressed to us their gratification
it his attentive regard for their interest in this
instance. Thus, whether in the'counctls of the
nation, or-at tonne, improving his large estate,
tbe advancement of his adopted State is ever the
Object of his exertions. We would here remark,
cn passant, that the Arabian horse Stambool,
brought out last season by Mr. Clay, and now
standing in Montgomery county, is likely tO|
prove a most important acquisition to the breed..
ers of that noble animal, the blond horse. His
young colts are represented to be of the finest
form and size, and most beautiful appearance —
Their owners are delighted with them, and feel
assured that their sire possesses all the qualities
of the beat thorough-bred Arabian, and that he
is destined to give a celebrity to the stock of,
Kentucky, equal to that imparted by the old Go-,
dolphin to the stock of England. J

ATROCIOUS MURDER.
Passengers from Bordentown, N. J* in the >
Steam-boat yesterday morning, brought the thril
ling intelligence that a most singular, unlooked
for, and inhuman murder had been perpetrated
in that place, by a young man named Joel !
Cloi'OH, upon the person of Mrs. Mary Ham-j
ilton, an estimable voung widow lady, consort,
ol the late Dr. Hamilton. It appears that
Clough had Deen for some time a boarder in the
house of Mahlon Lnngslreth, Mrs. H’s father, at j
the corner of the Main street and the road lend-1
ing to Trenton, where Mrs. H- also resided: in
the course of which time Clough had formed an ;
ardent attachment to Mrs. H.» and had repeated- i
Iv offered to wed her. She, in the meantime,
however, had favoured a rival suitor, a highly re
spectable citizen of Bordentown, and it became ;
rumoured that ere long they would be united — ;
This was too much for the unfortunate Clough. |
About twelve days ugo, he left Bordentown and j
went to .N York; returned on Thursday, ami on
Saturday, feigning sickness, retired to his room,
and thus prevailed upon the ladv 10 enter his
apartment, under the expectation of administer
ing relief; when he suddenly sprang up, seized
her by the arm, drew a dagger, and threatened
her with instant Uealh if she refused to marrv
him. She did refuse, and lie instantly stabbed
her; and before her screams brought assistance,
he had inflicted eleven wounds upon her, each
.1 kii«k ti nt11.1 Kn vn nrnhfitit V hlM* !—■
A gentleman hearing her cries, rushed up stairs,
just as she hail broke from the demon’s giasp. |
and was descending them, the blood gushing from j
her mouth and wounds! She fell in his arms,
and was carried into the parlour below. Site liv
ed about a minute. during which, she told tier
mother who had wounded her,and why it was
done, and died.
Oil examination, it was found that the weapon
had entered her heart, three times; seven times
in her siJe, breaking a rib, and once in the I* It
arm, which was also broken!
Mr. Clough, we learn, has parents or other
relations, residing somewhere in New England,
and has hitherto borne an unsullied and amiable
character. He has been an extensive contractor
for stone-work on Kail-roads, ami was recently
engaged on the Camden and Amboy Rail road,
at Bordentown. Alter he committed the lash
act, he swallowed a quantity of laudanum he had
prepared, witn the hope of destroying hi> own
life} but a medical process soon frustrated that
part of his purpose, and he was secured and
committed to jail, to await his trial at the next
Court.— Phil. Clron.
We have great pleasure in being able to publish
the following conclusive refutation ol the state
ment ^wlnch we copied from the Baltimore Pa
triot) of the death of J. L Dorsey, Esq., by
drowning. W e hope that the author of- so se
nous au imposition may be detected and expos

To Messrs. Gales & Seaton.
Gentlemen:—Pei rail me to request you to con
tiadict a statement in your paper, of the acci
dent said to have happened to me in crossing the
Patuxent.
It is the work of some individual, I suppose,
who has nothing else to do but indulge in his ma
lignancy and revenge.
You will do me a great favor by a speedy con
tradiction, as I have relatives living beyond this
Stale. J E. Dorsey

Jjinil 8, 1833.
A report is very current in this city, and sup
posed tube well founded that the late destruction
of the Treasury Building in Washington, by tire,
was caused bv design and not accident. It is
attributed to one of the clerks named Laub, but
not the person of the same name, who has for a
long time held a responsible situation in the De
partment.— Balt. Guz.
The recent investigation entered into with so
much spirit in relation lo die lale tiieai the Trea
sury was closed on Sa'urtiuy evoumg Iasi about
8 o’clock. The result had not uao-pired yes
terday. Though doubles* it will soon be made
public. The slips iak*-n by the Secretary of * lie
Treasury in relation to this unfortunate affair,
ate h’ghlv creditable io him. The loss of pub
lic property of any description should never be
suffered, without being made to undergo a rigid
examination into life causes.— Georgetown Col.
Rich Arrivals —On Saturday last, there arriv
ed at thi» port no less than lout valuable cargoes
of silks, teas, &c. from China, (a greater number
than we recollect to have placed on record in one
dav,) viz. the ships Superior, Oneida, Florida,
and Mary—also the ship Asia from Batavia,with
coffe$. The cargoes may be fairly estimated at
300,000 dollars each—making in the aggregate
nearly two millions.—A'etc York Gazette.
It will be seen by bur marine report, that four
ships arrived at tnis port on Saturday and yester
day from Canton, with valuable cargoes. Other
i vesels are hourly expected from the same port—
I and our market is likely to be sufficiently stock
i ed with the produce of China to meet theinrreaa
I ed demand that will arise in consenuence of the
reduction of the duties.—A«r York Mercantile.
Rogue-catching.—The celebrated Vidocq,
whose experience in the police department ol
Paris was made known to the world three or four
years ago, is about to establish an office in that
city for the detection of swindlers. He propos
es to merchants, bankers, and others, to give them
any information they may wish for, on condition
of‘an annual subscription of 20f., or 5f. for each
! application. He states that the post he occupied
has enabled him to know the swindlers and their
i scheme*, and boasts that “ having delivered the
I capital from theives, he will now purge it of the
j swindlers, by whom it is infested. ”
England and America—We ba»e copied a
part oi the January number of the London Medi
co Chirurgical Keview, containing a notice of
the work of our towsman, Professor Smith, on
“Surgical Anatomy of the Arteries. 'Ihe
woik itself is commended as comprising “alii
the information of ihe day, on the subject to j
which it is devoted ”
The introductory passages, which we quote,
are valuable for their liberal, candid lone of ex
pression and feeliog toward* this country. Sci-,
entitle publications, totally disconnected with
temporary excitements and party politics, #re
likely lobe most credible judges, and, we may
add, examples of the prevailing popular opin
ions and feelings. We are willing so to receive
the enlightened and manly sentiments of the
Journal, and to hope, if not believe, that malig*
mint hatred of every thmg American will soon be
universally recognized in Great Britain as an an
tiquated prejudice which civilization has out
grown, and a reproach to the understandings of
those who retain it, against the unproved in
telligence and morality of the age.
Another circumstance bearing on the subject,
and strengthening this hope of reiurning-cordial*
ity, has fallen under our observation in the Lon
don Herald of the 28th February, containing the
report of the previous day’s proceedings of the
House of Commons. Mr. Hume presented a
petition remonstrating against the severity of the
British Criminal law. In the discussion, it was
announced on behalf of the Ministers, that the
Government has sent an agent to America, for
the purpose of investigating the nature of secon
dary punishment here, and the workings of our
system in order to reform that of Great Britain
bv our experience.
We also observe in the Herald, that on the
same day a moating was held of tlu: London I em
perance Society, lor th* purjMJse of joining simul
taneously witflMhe Temperance Societies of this
country, in commemorating their institution.—
Many distinguished personages were present, and
much good feeling was exhibited. Mr. Wilkes,
„ ...f nini'A.I •* llint thp
ing viewed with feelings of the liveliest interest
the efforts of American philanthropists to correct
public opinion and practice, regarding the use o(
ardent spirits. ” In the conclusion of his speech,
after eulogizing the course of the American Soci
eties, he said:
** He was not jealous of America: he rejoiced
in her prosperity. Their language was the same,
their origin the same, their love of liberty the
same, their religion the same YY hy should there
not be a bund of brotherhood between them which
no political intitgue could bieak? Or, if there
was any rivalry, let it be whether benevolence
should flourish fairest on the banks of the Thames,
the Shannon, or the Mississippi—(Cheers.)—
There wax much to be accotnplixhed, but the war
they waged was holy, and must succeed.”
The Bishop of Chester, in seconding the mo
tion, reiterated the same sentiments- He added:
•* They were indebied to America for recalling
them to this gteat object. It was a gratifying
thins for a father to receive a benefit from a dis
tant child. America was grown up, but still
she wus a child of England. England would not
forget her i'ft>piiiig. and he trusted America
would not forget from whence she sprung.”
These are things worth recoiding, as tokens of
the better spirit which is beginning to prevail ex
tensively in England. — Halt .Jim.
From the ('incinnati Herald
Fire is Maysvillf.. —A fire broke out in
Maysville, K.V., Iasi Thursday night, which, it
is said consumed considerable valuable property.
YVe are told it was first perceived in a Mr.
Martin’s grocery store on Sutton Street, a few
doors from Front or Water, and that it consumed
all that valuable row of buildings from Mr. Mar

rage Measts. Philips, Adanis, & Co’s large com
mission warehouse, Mr M’Calla’s grocery, Mr.
George Herbst’s broker store, and Frederick
Frank’s Union Coffee-house. It was a valuable
block of buildings, the greater part of which be

broke nut on Friday evening in that city, about
7 o’clock, in a frame building between Main and

1 Two infants united like the Siamese Twiner
A singular example of monstrosity is now ih
Loodun, at Falcon-square, and ha* been seen by
Sir A. Cooper, with many otherdistinguished
members of the profession. It will be shortly
exhibited to public view. This monster was born
lately at Exeter, and presents two bodies united
I by the abdomen. As in all such cases, the sex
* *__ _
*
is the same in both. It is feminine in this exam
ple. It is singular to observe how peculiar are
the laws of nature even in her vagaries. Were
we disposed to enlarge upon this luttis nalurte,
we might allude to several cases of a similar de

Laughable .Affair —On Sunday evening a
respectable looking person, muffl-'d up inailoak,
who had gone in a Gravesend van to Strong), ten
dered the driver half a sovereign, and received
nine and sixpence in change I’lte coachmart,
on getting on his box, found ihal the htlf sover
eign was only a gilt sixpence, and he therefore
jumped down, and, with the assistance of some
cads, pursued and took the fellow. I he “gen
tleman” walked quietly a little way, and then
knocking his accuser down, bolted, and left his
cloak in the hands of the cads. He made direct
for the ship-inn, turned down the platform to the
river, and took tojthe water like a duck. Hi- p*r-.
suer* then manned a boat, and a large crowd >
assembled with lanterns to view the chase. The
fellow swam bravely, and dodged bis pursuers
in line style; but at length, finding he hail no
chance of escape, and half dead with wet, cold
and fright, he came ashore dripping like a cat.—
He was recognized as a discharged convict,
named O'Connor.—Kentish Gaz.
Yesterday afternoon, a horse broke loose from
a carriage, and ran violently up Ninth street.—
| As the animal approached Arch street, it ran up
on the side walk, and directly in its wav were
two young women, having the care of two very
small children. The loud monition of “look
out” was heard by them, but they looked t//>, in
stead of down the street, and belore they were
apprised of their danger, the horse had reached
them, and as the four persons abreast occupied j
the most of the side walk, the horse leaped dt- j
rectiV over the head of one or the children* with
out causing the least injury, and had gone two )
squares at least, before the young women could l
recover from their amazement to scream■ The

NULLIFICATION CONSPIRACY.
It is nut generally known, perhaps that at the
last session of Congress, extensive arrangements
were made among certain leaders in Washing
ton, to carry on the campaign of nullification in
| the South, as well as to commence certain move
ments in the North, and particularly in New
Ymk, with the intention of all the several parties
• to the compact, meeting on a common ground of
j opposition to the present administration, at the
| end of the next two years.
| We happen to have a full and particular know!
edge of these arrangements—of the individuals
by whom they were brought about—of the ulti
mate purpose's of this extensive combination—
and of the manner they are intended to be carried
j into effect in thp North.
| We have a most curious tale to unfold of the
intrigues—the meetings—the consultations—the
midnight caucuses which look place during the
last winter at Washington. The development is
much wanted for the purpose of awakening the
democracy of the North—and particularly of
New York—«» the deep laid conspiracy which is
intended to destroy their unity and harmony of
action. We shall commence this expose in a few
days, and request our numerous patrons in New
York to give us all their attention. •

It has been aborted openly, and without quali
fication by the official paper of the Execuiive, the
Washington Globe, that a deliberate plan is and
has been entertained, by certain leading politi- |
ciAns at the South, to bring about a secession of
the Southern Stales from the Union, in order to
the establishment of a Southern Confederacy.—
If’e believe this to be true., —and think South Ca
rolina was only premature as to time, in her late
manifestations.
Looking at our public affairs in this light, «c
would ile.irp, without interrupting general con
fitlence in Ihe future staoilitv of our Union, to j
keep attention constantly fixed upon the great I
questions which have recently and deeply agitat

History of Ireland, by IV. C. Taylor, E<>h
with additions, by fVm. Sampson, Eu] L
(Hope 's Family Libran/^No. 51. J—2 ah
, "12 m»—1833.
This (observes the Washington City Chroni
cle) is a well written and interesting summary
of the history of that unfortunate island which
has been »o long,, oppressed and so frequently
agitated by civil commotions. This history on
gmaily appeared in “ Constable’s Miscellany,”
and has been thought worthy of being transferred
to the popular and valuable work into which it it
now incorporated. The Family Library conti
noes to merit public patronage, and we think l!ii»
number of it will not be deemed the least vatus
ble. Mr. Taylor has sketched the history ol
Ireland with spirit and impartiality in these vo
lumes. Its want of details will be of course an
/
objection with some, but for a'U the purpose* of
general historical reading, it is ample enough —
It contains ail the most important fuels and inti
dents which have occurred in that island since
we have any authentic knowledge of its settle
ment, and to the Irish emigrant it will, no doubt,
be found replete with interest, especially tint
part of it which relates to the insurrection of ir*
98, which is sketched rapidly, but with truth and
candor. We could have wished that the datrs
had been more conspicuously placed, a* it is some
times difficult to know in what year an event oc
curred, and it requires the re-examination of se
veral pages to ascertain it. The additions «f
Mr. Sampson are an eloquent and well written
defence of his native land.
