On the 14th inst. at his late residence in Steuben, after a short but fatal attack of the cholera morbus, Dr. Daniel R. ROBERTS (more generally known by the name of the Welch Doctor.)  Dr. ROBERTS was 45 years of age, a native of Wales, had lived but a few years in this country, and had become deservedly celebrated as a physician, particularly in cancers and chronic complaints.  He was of a very humane and benevolent disposition, exerted himself to relieve the poor who applied for medical aid, equally as for the rich, although in a great many instances there was no prospect of his receiving but little, if any compensation; and in many cases of the widow and fatherless, he wholly released compensation when offered.  His death will be lamented by thousands who are laboring under complaints of the above description.  The Doct. has left an amiable wife, and three children to mourn his loss. pm
