Horrible Tragedy. We have to lay before our
readers an account of a distressing occurrence, but
lrom the position in which the painful affair at present
jests, we feel it our duty to refrain from giving ihe
names of the parlies concerned. Monday last was
fixed as the wedding-day of a young lady in Sheffield-
ana sue, with her bridesmaids and friends., was anxious,
ly awaiting the arrival of the intended bridegroom
and his men. The hour had passed at which he was
to make his appearance to escort her to the holy church
to be made one A full half-hour had elapsed, and
yet no bridegroom. Uneasiness as to.his unaccounta-
ble absence became alarm ; when at this juncture up
came a cab to the door, and out jumped in haste a gen-
tleman not the groom but his friend. He rushed
hurriedly up stairs into the drawing room, and before
any inquiry could be put to him, he entreated the be-
wildered and alarmed inmates to be calm. ' What on
earth is the matter?' arose from every one. c 111 tell
you,' gasped the groomsman, 'only becalm. I went
this morning according to appointment to poor Henry's
rooms, but was told he was getting up, and would be
down immediately. I waited and waited but to no
purpose. I began to grow uneasy, when I thought 1
heard his voice. I listened again. It was his voice
coming from an inner chamber, yet it was not like his
usual tone. ft struck me at once he must be ill, and
in need of assistance. I flewto the door burst it

The Cholera. A letter from Paris, dated Sep
tember lSlh says : ''- Yesleid.iy and to-day several cases
have appeared which are said to have "all l lie symp-
toms of the Asiatic cholera, but to a mild shape. A
medical gentleman informs mc" Thai 'he has two cases of
what he calls cliolara asplti.da and that in both cases
(tie patients are likely to recover.'
A letter from Hamburg, of September 15th, says :
" A number of violent cases of Asiatic cholera have "al-
ready occurred, principally among the lower orders of
the people. Altogether there have been about 2Sl)
cases within fourteen day.s since the disease made its
lirst appearance. Alwut'half ufthat number are con-
valescent. Livery precaution has been taken by the
authorities to prevent, as much as possible, iho conta-
gion." Accounts from Constantinople of the 31st Aug. say
that the cholera was still raging.
Letters from Smvnia of'the 2d September say that
the cholera was making givat ravages, but it was hoped
thai it had passsd its culminating point. The deaths,
which for some days amounted to upwards of 100 daily,'
came down on the 29lh to between thirty and forty)
and the hist accounts were satisfactory. Al Magnesia.'
Cassaba, Salonica, and other places, the ravages'of the
epidemic wore also rcry great. At Salonica the deaths
were upwards of a hundred daily, and many foreign-
ers had fallen. At Larissn, Seres and Dilaiia, The
cholera was also raging with great intensity, and great
numbers were dying.
Letters from Reyrout of the 25th August say that
the cholera is decimating the inhabitants of Aleppo,
Damascus, &e.
JThe cholera continues to spread at Berlin. Thorn
have been upward of 1S00 cases since its first appear-
ance. Picayune.
Cotton at Liverpool. The following is an ex-
tract from a letter accompanying a circular with which
we have been courteously favored' by a commercial
house of this city :
Liverpool. Sept. 23, 1S4S.
It seems likely that no price will
be safe if your crop is to be any thing like what some
have estimated it at, because stocks cannot be held
and we already have more than can be managed.
Every; thing here is as dull as it well can be. and
Europe is still in an unsettled state, so that we see but
little chance of amendment unless you can convince
people that your crop will not be more than last year's.1
The sale3 to-day are 4500 bales, and no change in
prices. We are, gentlemen, yours respectfully. 3&.
Casuality. A young man named Childress, of
aastrop county, belonging to Capt. Ben F. Hills new
ranging company, lost'his life on Monday evenino- last
at the Quarter Master's office, by the accidentaT dis-
charge of a pistol. It appears that some of the arms
had bead carelessly returned to thato ilicc with loads in
them, and in again giving them out to Captain Hill's
company this accident occurred. Mr. Childress, we
learn, has relations in Bastrop county, where he was
highly respected by all who knew him for his manv
good qualities. W. Texian Nov. th ult.
We were happy to notice a few days since, the arri-
val in our town, of a train of waggons from Corpus
Christi, loaded with goods for this place. This is the
beginning of an enterprise projected by the merchants
of Corpus for the purpose of turning the trade of Bexar
towards that point. We understand that Col. Kinncv
is about surveying a new road from Corpus Chrhti to
this place, which will reduce the distance losoniethiur
like 120 miles. Success to all enterprises that have a
tendency to improve the West. lb.
AGrbat CjTY.Thc principal city in China, Sou
Ichon, a city in the interior, the largest perhaps in the
world; for Pekin has but four millions, while if we
may credit Mr. Iledde, who visited it Sou Teiiou has
a population of live millions within its walls and ten
millions within a radius of four leagues mound. Sit-
uated on the groat Imperial Canal, it has ten thousand
"bridges' Since 17S1, when tho missionaries quilted
it, no individual, until Mr. Ileddo succeeded, could
get ingress. He did so completely disguised as a Chi-
nese trader.
Hope is like a bad clock, forever striking the hour cf
happiness, whether it has come oi not.

From all accounts the Territory would seem to be
threatened with the misfortunes which decimated the
colony of Virginia, when tobacco was cultivated to the
exclusion of all other productions. There was not
enough food raised in the country for the colonists to
feed upon, and a famine was the consequence. So it is

Col. Fremont and parly have left St. Louis for the
Plains. Mrs. Fremont accompanied him as far as
Wesport. The parly will proceed to New Mexico by
the Cimaron route, accompanied by Kit Carson. The
St. Louis Union has this paragraph on the subject:
The Republican intimates that the object of this ex-
pedition is not known. We stated a few days ago that
the object was solely to complete the scientific explo-
rations on which Col. Fomont has been engaged for
years, and which were nearly finished when interrupted
by the California difficulties.
Burning of tor Mormon Temple. A tele-
graphic despatch in the St. Louis Republican of the

fire iu the cupola, about 4 o'clock on the morning of
hc Uih. The illames spread rapidly, and the building
was totally consumed, leaving nothing but the naked

work of an incendiary.

Col. Crittenden was tho bearer of the sword to Gen
Butler.
The remains of Milam. The attention of our
readers is directed to the call of "ATany Citizens" in an-
other column, for a public meeting to lake place on
Thursday evening next. This matter has been loo
long neglected, and we arc much gratified to perceive
this movement. Tho time is short, until the anniversary
of the death of the patriot Milam will arrive, and it is
necessary that the preliminary arrangement is be made
