 We have cOnversed with an intelligent American gentleman who IS Just returned from the continent of Europe, through which he passed as far as Berlin. He says that the great subject of interest and anxiety at present is the Cholera MorbuS. It had reached the frontiers of SiIesia, and was making its way steadily but slowly into the heart ot Europe The public authorities of the various towns and cities were taking every precautIon to guard against it, and to ObvIate as much as possible its fatal effects. In some places has been excluded by the extreme care ot me police, and the strictness with which nOn-ln- tercourse has been enforced; in others, not. | withstanding every precautOn, 1t has pene- trated into the towns. In st. Petersburg es- 1 pecially, this has occurred where the most viz orous measures were adopted, but where US ravages have proved excessive. Though the official reports endeavor to lessen the number of cases, they have not been fewer than tf- teen thousand. No remedies generally suc- cessful have been devised those which prov ed SO in some places, failed totally in others | The sea air is said to have produced favOra- ble effects in several instances, and thus en- ] courages the hope that the pestlence may not cross the Atlantic, but its slow, sullen, and ta- tai progress which is now viewed with deep anxiety in Europe, should warn the public health officers along the whole of our coast. Our informant thinks that the cause of the Poles is comparatively prosperous; and that the operations of the Russians are not pushed with the vigour, good fortune, OF ready re- sources that were at first expected to attend their arms. There does not appear, howev- CT, to be any probability of the warlike in- reference of other nations or ofa general war. The situation of the people east of the Rhine is such. that their governments would become excessively unpopular by subjecting them to the scourge of war, while they are threatened with the approaching pestilence. After an absence of ten years, no change for the better is observed among them. Some of the gov. ernments, especially that of Prussia, have in- | troduced partial reforms into the laws, but none into the national economy. Ofa reve- nue of about fifty millions of dollars raised in that kingdom, one half is applied to the main tenance of the army, and is drawn from population little exceeding eleven miIlions.- | The poorer classes are all desirous to cmigrate, but they want the means to do so. In Eng land, at present, every thing appears quiet, but it is evident that there is great distress a. mong the poorer classes while in Ireland at no period has it been more dreadful.

 NIAGARA, Sept. l6.

 "An inciden: of unusual interest befel lit- tle girl last evening. between the landing wharf of the steam boat Great Britain and the Youngstown Ferry. She was of the | A1~0m nR knA uofo h1 I1nA just disembarked from the boat and had hud- dled their utensils on the wharf. By some accident she was precipitated into the river and sunk, apparently to rise no more. New | CT was more confusion, and never such incon- ] siderate remssness, in adopting means of re- l cOvery. The men stood On the fatal spot as though expecting to attract the little unfortu- nate by the intensity of their gaze. Fortu- nately, at this moment, strange gentleman | appeared. and moved by the heart rending | shrieks of the unfortunate mother, slipped off his coat, watch and shoes, and plunged to the bottom in pursuit. He soon re-appeared bringing up the little Highlander, swam with her to the shore, and ran with her to an ad- joining out-hOuse, where the means of resus- citation were immediately and successfully a. d"pted. In less than two hours, the child had entirely recovered, and was delivered over to the mother. The deliverer is an en- tire stranger. All that the emigrants knew of him was that he embarked on board the Great Britain at Oswego, bound tO the west ward; that he spoke to them very kindly, while on board, gave some crackers to the children, was dressed in black, and they think twas q very christian kind of man."- 1 We understand the same gentleman left in the stage at Youngstown the next morning. Such acts of decisive benev olence should be recorded. and we hope yet to learn the name and habitation of the stranger"
