is NEW YORK HERALD. New York, Sunday, August 8, 1846. State of Parties in Engtand. "The Journal des Debats, of Paris, has publish- eda very interesting article on the aspect of politics in England. tis worth reading, and we have, therefore, given it in this day’s paper. ‘The Mexican News. ‘The details of the rumors which created so much excitement in this city on Friday were re- ceived yesterday, and are to be found on the first page of this day’s Herald. It appears, after all that the whole is embraced in rumors. There i nothing of a really authentio character. The in- dications are, however, against peace. America and China. The celestial people of China and the barbari- ans of the United States, are destined at no very distant period to be on terms of the closest inti- macy. From our geographical position, being almost equi-distant between the continent of Europe and that country, we shall eventually become their best market, and they our best customers for manufactures. Hitherto the nations of the world have acted towards and traded with each other irrespective of China. In fact, millions of the inhabitants of that country have never heard the names, even, of the countries of the old world; but a new era is dawning upon the world. Although China? was forced, at the cannon’s mouth, to abandon her exclusive policy, now that it has been ubandoned to a certain ex- tent, a new field for the enterprise of the world is opened. Withoutincurring any of the odium attaching to the proceedings of the British, we now enjoy the benefits of the treaty they enforced from the ruling emperor, as well as those that followed the treaty which he volunta- rily entered into with us. Weare thus far ahead in the race, and it only remains with us to continue the pacttic and friendly policy which we have hitherto adopted, to bring China into the closest intimacy with us. As it is, that country is no insignificant market for our productions; but whe can contemplate the increasing growth of our country, without arriving at the conclusion that before the present generation shall have passed away, it will be necessary to establish a railroad to the Pacific? When the proper time arrives, we shall have no competition in the China trade. Our Pacific harbors will enable us to control the whole of the trade of the great Eastern world, with its seven hundred millions of people, the products of whom will be distributed by us to the whole of the Western hemisphere. The British gov- ernment and people are aware of this, but they cannot prevent it. Nature has planted the conti- nent of America as a stopping place between the East and the West, and her designs will be car- ried out, despite of all attempts to prevent it. We are, according to the Chinese themselves, the “ Central Flowery Land.”” In a few years, difficulties may grow out of this; but the men of the times will be equal to them. Indeed, England is now jealous of the inti- macy between us and China, and recently have exhibited it in an unmistakable form. The government of Canton recently found fault with the trade our merchants carried on with the Chinese, and insolently undertook to call our minister to account, because they fur- nished them with cannon cast in the United States. The insolence was repelled in a digni- fied manner, and there the matter ended. But Pana Tueatae.— Lindi di Chamouni” in its Eng- lish dress, and the glorious artiste Msdame Bishop, nightly imcrease in publicf avor. The more we see of her beautiful, perfect, and artistic performance, the more we are charmed. Allthe best critics, the entire musical profession, and—more than all—the voz populi, the en- thusiasm, the applause, the rapture of her auditory— give assurance of her greatness, and these are such de- monstrations as were never equalled, even In the days of Malibran, who, when she was with us, was far from being as great an artiste as Madame Bishop. Whenand Lad what occasion, in the history ofthe opera at New York, ‘was an artiste thrice encored by acclamation in the same opera? and that on three successive nights. This com- winees has been paid to Madame Bi - a That most werful and inflexible of all organs, popular opinion and Jadiement, will do justice to one of the greatest artistes ‘that ever visited our country. Madame Bishop appears in“ Linda of Chamouni’’ on Monday, and afterwards in the grand Italian scena from the opera of “ Tancreédi, O Patria !” “Di tanti palpiti.” ‘This will be a treat, Boweny TueaTae.—We understand that Mr. Jackson has re-engaged Miss Julia Turnbull for one week longer, and that that excellent actress and danseuse willappear in two pieces on Monday evening—in “ Buy it Dear, ‘tis Made of Cashmere,” and the “ Spirit of the Fountain.” After receiving so flattering a compliment as she did last evening, her desire to please will of course be en- hanced. The “Jewens,or the Council of Constance,” will also form a part of Monday evening’s amusements. Every one is astonished at the very large audiences which are seen at the Bowery every night, but it is no matter of wonderment, when we consider the great at- tractions that are nightly offered, and the superiority of the actors and actresses who appear in them. To- morrow evening, we venture to say that the theatre will not be large enough to hold half of all who will seek ‘admission. Patmo's Orera Hovse.—The Lehman family will re- main one week longer among us. ‘I'he great approbation they have received by the public has induced all of them to repeat, for six more nights, those wonderful perform- ances, which have gained for them so much credit. Wo are certain that all the lovers of mirth will be satisfled with such an arrangement, as the engagement just con- cluded has brought repeated full houses at Palmo’s. Last evening the soirée vonsisted of the two pantomimes of “ ‘The Living Skeleton,” and “M. Déchalumeau,” and we were delighted with the histrionic action of M. Charles Winther, He is, indeed, an excellent rope dancer and a clever actor. M’lle Adelaide is still, and will be foralong time, the favorite of the public ; her sweet face and her lovely smiles have bewitched all her ad- mirers. We have not any better words to express the trut idt isa very correct choregraphe and . Mr. a skiliful artist; his style of dancing was very amusing in“ Le Menuet de Nina.” For MM. Lehman, father and son, we consider the first as a capital clown and the second asa very good mime. To-morrow evening, M, Antoine will have a benefit, and we hope it will be a bnmper—he deserves it. § Cuarnam Tueatax.—Fine mirth and humor can be enjoyed at the Chatham every night to repletion, Last night the travestie of # Hamlet,” “ The Married Rake,” and the burlesque, “ Life in the Clouds,” were performed to an audience as large asthe house could contain. We never saw & more delighted audience—from the rising to the fall of the curtain they were in one perpetual roar, caused as much by the comical nature of the pieces, as by Mr. Brougham’s inimitable mimicry of Kean and ‘orrest. The Chatham is decidedly an attraction, and will no doubt continue to be such as long as the present campany is maintained. To-morrow evening, “A Roland for an Oliver,” # new burlesque entitled, Cher Ryan Dfuirs Tar,” and tho “Irish Tiger,” will be performed. Barnum, of the American Museum, has been making arrangements at Rochester for the appearance of Gen. ‘Yom Thumb in that city during the present week. Musical. Castux Ganvex.—There will bea conoert of sacred music, at this beautiful Amphitheatre, this evening, un- der the direction of Mr. Munck. Several pieces of We- mdelsohn, Handel, and Haydn, will be estra, VavxHatt Ganpex.—On Monday evening White's Sable Sisters and Ethiopian Minstrels commence an en- Gagement at the above saloon. Lover is about to givea fow of his evenings at Newport, 4 Buripina.—A grand complimentary con- cert will be given to-morrow evening, at the above place, to Mr. Isaac Buzzee, ns a testimony of sympathy from his friends and acquaintances, in his late sovere loss, his workshop being consumed by fire, and every matter con- nected with his trade, benches, working utensils, &e. It is hoped his friends, by their presence on this occasion, in addition to the irrefragible arguments which Mr. Everett availed himself of on the occasion, if he knew the fact, he might have me tioned that many of the cannon whichiwe captured in Mexico, were of English manufacture, and sold to the Mexicans in precisely the same manner as were the pieces which the troops of his éoun- try spiked in China. j This shows the ill-feeling that pervades the peo- ple of England towards ourcountry. It is indulg- ed in by the government and by its ministers; but happily we disregard it, and cag afford to let them enjoy it to their heart’s contend. It may injure our people in one respect, and that alone. It may injure them by laughing too heartily at the absurdity of England attempting to inter- fere with us, and impudently dictating to us what we shall or shall notdo. The reason of this hatred can be found in cur growing strength and in-creasing resources., ‘ * Mepicat Derartuent or THE Ams Hovsr.— We gave a slight sketch, a few days ago, of the proposed alterations to be made in this depart- ment of our city, as embodied in a report drawn up by a committee of the medical faculty of this city, who were requested to consider the matter, by the Committee on Alms and Charity. This report, with some amendments, was finally adopted.by the Board of Aldermen, and sent down to the Assistant Board. They, however, have adjourned for a month without acting on it; and thus, for the next six weeks at least, matters at Bellevue will remain as they are. We look upon thisas decidedly unfortunate for the city, and we cannot comprehend what cause can have so operated on the Common Council as thus to delay making a law of this most excel- lent report. The party papers are teeming with criminations and recriminations regarding the management of this department. n all sides, it seems to be admitted that confusion must ensue when so much labor is put on one man’s shoul- ders; and yet,whena scheme, which for the same money as is now expended, will place the whole hospitals on a proper footing, is put before the Common Council, they look into it, acknowledge its merits, and after bringing it up to such a point that half an hour’s work would complete it, adjourn for a month, laying it virtually on the shelf! ; There is no doubt that the whole institution requires remodelling; indeed, the present resi- dent physician, Dr. D. M. Reese, who from ac- tual observation must be better prepared to give an opinion on the subject than others, was one of the sub-committee of medical gentlemen who drew up the report for the proposed alterations, and in the introduction to the report of that com- mittee, it is stated that they ‘are thoroughly im- pressed with the vastness of the evils which at present exist in the hospitals at Bellevue and Blackwell’s Island;” and in speaking of the re- port which he and his two colleagues drew up, they state “that they believe it will bear the scrutinizing investigation of the Board, and un- der the existing state of affairs, will be found practical in its application and benificent in its issue.” Truly, the Common Council need no longer be incredulous as to the necessity of this change, when the very officers attached to the hospitals are thus explicit in their condemnation of the present mode of conducting them. Mysterious Disarrrarance.—A correspon- dent, in Richmond, Va.,writes to us to the effect that he is intimately acquainted with Mr. St. George, who disappeared mysteriously from Philadelphia a short time since, and that our citizens need not be alarmed for his safety ; neither need our police take any trouble in the matter. If what our correspondent states is por Mr. St. George is able to take care of him- self. Sinevtar Ronnevy.—By reference to the re- port of the schooner King Phillip, in the Marine column, will be found an account of a curious robbery committed at sea, by8or10 men in a row boat, upon the ship Chesapeake, bound from will enable him to proceed, as before, in his habits of mechanism and industry. Tue Ermiorian Senexavens.—Four of the gentle- men composing the original band of Ethiopian Sere- ders, known as Dumbleton'’s company, arrived in this city yesterday in the packet ship Northumberland.; Sreamsuir Saran Sanps.—This steamer was seen on the 5th instant, in lat. 40 10, lon. 68 45, She sailed hence on the afternoon of the 3d inst. Ofty Inteligence. Avxornen Great Castina.—The second bed plate for the ocean steamship United States, was cast yesterday at the foundry of Messrs. T. F. Secor & Co., corner of avenue D and Ninth street, between the hours of one and two, in the presence of a large number of specta- tors. We are happy to say that everything went off satisfactorily. The weight of molten metal was upwards of twenty-nine tons. The United States will be launch- ed next week, and we will be much mistaken if she will not reflect credit on all concerned in her construction. ‘Tux Wrarnen—Tue Sewens.—We bad a beavy rain storm yesterdsy, which lasted throughout the day, The rain, during most part of the day, came down in tor- rents, and the streets were as dirty and filthy as can well be conceived; indeed, somewhat exceeding their usual ‘appearance, during such days as yesterday. Fulton street, and the various other streets that have latel been opened for the construction of public sewers, suf- fered considerably, the heavy streams of muddy water, filth, &e., having flowed over the temporary banks that'had heen erected on the streets by the sidewalks, The labors of those who had been employed in construct ing the sewers for the last three or four weeks, have been rendered in many instances, almost useless—the large openings being completely inundated. ‘The piles of mud at have been thrown upon the sidewalks, |have also caused the water to flow into the basements—an annoy- ance which we predicted. Crryrse Junk.—The eaptain of the Chinese Junk is about,to issue a proclamation to all who have not seen that vessel,tha and after a certain day to be there- in named, his craft will be closed against all visiters, in order to enable him to prepare forhis voyage to England. ‘The proclamation will contain full warning, and no blame can be attached to him, if it be not attended to. The Junk has now been here a month, and at alow caloula- tion she has been visited by fifty thousand persons. She will be seen by at least thirty thousand more before she goes. We by all means recommend persons from the country to see this strange craft. ‘Thousands have come distances varying from fifty to five hundred miles for the pu:pose,and have not been disappointed in her. Fine.— A fre was discovered yesterday morning in the basement of No. 175 Greenwich street. There was no alarm, Damage trifling. New Steammoat Lixe to New Bauxswicx.—The splendid new steamer Antelope, commences a new line to New Brunswick, from Robinson street pier to-morrow at 4 past 3 P.M.—See advertisement. Tax Stave Case.—Mr. Jay, and a person named Smith, appeared before Judge Oakley yesterday, and re- quested another writ of habeas corpus to bring the bodies of the slaves before him immediately. The Judge said there was a writ already issued upon the same state of facts, and that it should be first discharged. Mr. Jay sat sat down to draw a notice to that effect, but after- wards left the office without serving the notice or taking out the writ. Drath Prom Exnavstion.—An inquest wa held by the coroner on the body of Margaret Vanderpool & Scotch woman, aged 25 yeat It apy that this wo man had e time moved in respect circles, but having fallen from her high estate, had latterly been a regular hanger-on at the tive Points Lost Wednesday evening she took refuge in the basement of a grocery store in Leonard street, the proprietor of which in other times held quite an intimate connexion with her. It seems, however, that when ins diseased and distressed condition he was unwilling to keep up any acquaintance with her, and ordered her out of his premises, and sent for the police, to whom she wax given in charge. Finally, she was conveyed to the hospital, where, after reviving @ little, from appropriate treatment, she at last sunk. and thus was relieved from all her distresses. Tb rdict was that death resulted from exhaustion, arising from her intemperate habits of lift. cr. —-Charge of eph K. Brown and Isaac Jennin, f the brig Minerva, were arrested yesterday by Dep. Marshal Flanagan, on charge of havit inflicted cruel 4 unusual punish. one of the crew, named ——. McCready, on the oom Mareeilles. They were held to bail Assault with a Dangerous Weapon.—Nelson Pierce was also arrrested by the samé officer, on a charge of having assaulted Charles Malden, one of tne crew of the brig Hope,with a dangerous weapon. Ie was also held to bail in $260. Iv Cramuens.—Before Judge Edwards.—Motion to reduce bail —A 1aotion was made this morning by Mr Sparks, to reduce the bail of Thomas Browne and Chas. Gooker, against whom there are four indictments for altering counterfeit bills, on the ground that it did not distinctly appear that the prisoners occupied the room in which the counterfeit money was found. The motion was opposed by Mr. Jonas Phillips, the Assistant District Attorney, who read an affidavit, from which it appeared Browne and Cooker were two of the gang in whose room the counterfeit hills were found, and that they, Browne and Gooker, resided in the samo house. Motion denied. The ship Birmingham, which arrived from Liverpool this day, browrbt $121,000 in specie, in addition to a valuable assorted cargo of merchandise. It 1s a rem: able fact as evidence of increase in the comm Charleston, which has not ocourred for some years, an assorted cargo of merchandise should have arrived at this port 80 oprly ad the 2d of August Philadelphie to Baltimore Calder is on her way with @ similar oargo.—Chartesion News, Aug. 2.

GueenWoon Cemeteny.—This delightful and romantic receptacle for the dead is daily visited by hundreds of ersons from New York and other cities No one can Brive over its picturesque walks without admiring the pains and expense displayed in the erection of costly and magnificent tombs over the final resting ‘place of those whom in life were loved and in death mourned. We envy not him who does not return from Greenwood a better anda holier man, Let the worst dispositioned man living—let the hardy criminal—the man whoge score of years has been marked by crime—let him remain in the icturesyue solitudes of Greenwood for a couple of ours, with the solemn evidences of death on every side, and he will be forced, despite of himself, to reflect that he, too, will reach * that bourne from whence no travel- ler returns,’ and, perhaps, sooner than he expects, His life, and all his misdeeds, will come up before him in fearful array; his mind may perhaps be awakened to asonse of what he is, and what he ought to be, and he may turn from his evil ways, and sin no more. The man of ambition, too, will here see his folly. Let him be ever so great, he, too, must, one day or other, be laid low. ‘The covetous man; he who has neg- lected his Croator, and devoted the energies whic! God gifted him with for noble purposes, to the accumulation of wealth—Iet stich @ man visit Green- wood, and he is more than human, if the conviction is not forced upon him, that he will one day becalled upon to account for the uses to which he has put his talent. The man borne down by oppression and the world’s ty- rany, cun seek consolation in Greenwood. In that place, where the “wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest,” he will tind calm and quiet, after the storms and vicissitudes of life. The man of religion— he who has pursued the golden rule “do as you would be done unto,” can take pleasure in Greenwood. He can admire ite lakes and itsroads—its mounds and its val- leys, with comfort; and when his threescore and ten are run, can meet death with a smile, and resign bis spirit to him who gave it, without fear. Count or Sxssions,—Benjamin Bailey was tried upon an indictment and found guilty of rudely assaulting Pe- dro Emanuel Castella, by striking him on the head with abrick. We understand that the jury could not get through with their labors on Saturday evening ; they adjourned ever to Monday. Morauity or tHe Urren Trx,—We wrote an article yesterday under this peel food the particulars of a ‘charge made against a certain member of the Assembly. ‘The case underwent an examination yesterday, and we ‘are pleased to state that the gentleman was honorably discharged—the evidence given in the case not being sufficient to substantiate the charge against him. Police Intelligence. Passing Counterfeit Money.—Otticer Norris, one of the Chief's Aids, arrested, yesterusy morning, 1 man calling himself Charles Riley, on a charge of passing a counterfeit $10 bi purporting to be on the Adams Bank, North Adams, Massachusetts, upon Emma Ed- wards, residing at No. 12 Elm street. It appears the ac- cused went into the above premises with a girl called Josephine, and asked the landlady, Mrs, Edwards, to change the above bill, which she did, giv- ing him in exchange $10 in good money; and no sooner was the money in his possession than he made an x- cuse to leave the house, saying that he would be back presently; instead of which, he took tohis heels and ran off. Information was given to the above-named officer, who gave chase, and overhauled Mr. Riley on the corner of Frankfort and William streets. He was conveyed before Justice Osborne and committed for trial.

Rures ro BE VERY CaneruLiy Osserven, ANd Ni ReLAxeo, By ALL THAT WoULD Preserve Heatran as AvOID THAT DREADFUL Scourcr, TyrHus eR. ‘Tae following useful practical suggestions are in cir- culation amongst the poor and working classes in Glas- ow :— ‘General Rule—Temperance, cleanliness, and breath- ing pure air, arethree of the surest means of securing heath, and preventing attacks of the typhus fever, or ‘any other disease. 1. Very often open the window of a room, and at the same time the door, and let the air go through. You need not sit in the draught; that is dangerous, The windows of common stairs and passages should always be half open. 1s this the case in yours ? 2. On getting up in the morning, air the room well in the wa: Tone mentioned: let the draught of air pass through the bed or beds for at least half an hour before they are made up. Making up a warm or ill-aired bed, will itself produce disease. Hang the blankets before the fire every now and then. Keep bed, bedding, and bedstead as clean as possible. 3. If possible, never wear in the day the shirt or shift you sleep im. Air both well, when taken off, in the air draught. Never wear them more than a week. 4. On getting out of bed, dip a sponge or towel in wa- ter, and give a rapid wash’ with it to the whole body, rubbing itdry with a hard rough towel, Cold water is best, but warm water may be used, if cold is disliked. Accustom your children not to be afraid of the cold wa- ter sponge. They will come to like it, and to apply it themselves. If your employment is dirty, wash at night also. Wash your children all over every night, and, at least, their faces, hands, and necks, every morning. Sweep out your rooms, passages, and stairs, every d wash them once a-week. Whitewash at least twice @ year. The trouble and expense are nothing compared with the great benefit to your health 6. Do all you can to avoid hanging your washings to dry in the rooms you live in Nothing is more danger- ous to health. Soap suds, foul wate nd filth, shouid be removed from the room without delay. Use as much water in the house as you possibly Carrying it in is laborious, but the labor will be well repaid in health and comfort. ‘Ihe time is at hand when every house, however humble, will have its own water tap always giving water, so that no cistern or water vessels will be needed 8. Never live on poor food that you may save money for drink. Simple directions for thrifty and good eook- ing will be sent to you. Strive to Ivarn the best ways in the meantime from your neighbors who can cook well 9. Lose no opportunity of walking and taking exer- ize in the open air. 10, When typhus fever, small pox, or scarlet fever is in your house, be sure to Keep the rooms well aired, and Separate, as much as you can, the healthy part of the family from those who are iil Ds not enter your neigh- bors’ houses, or allow idle gossipers to come into yours; and do not go to church or meetings, or send your obil- dren to school. You thus prevent the spread of the dis- ease. Curelessness in these things, we know, is one great cause of fever epreading amongst the poor. » 11. Never, unless duty calls, go into a house where there is disease; and, when you are obliged to do so, never enter fasting. or when warm witu wi Iking. Avoid the patient’s breath, and stay as short # time as pos- sible. 12, Whether the patient dies or recovers, be sure to wash most carefully every article of clothes or bedding he has used. Geta bottle of solution of chloride of lime from a druggist; often sprinkle the bed and floor with it, and keep @ plate of it on the floor. Do all in your power to avoid keeping the dead in the same room with bed living; never have any “wake,” and bury without ny. Lastly, remember that no drinker ever rises above the lowest poverty, Mark this too—typhus fever finds out the drunkard, and fastens on him ‘Tho Montreal telegraph is now in operation from New York, by way of Buffalo, Lockport, Queenston, Toronto, Kin, &o, The people of Ogdeasburgh obtain their intelligenve at Preseott.

Joun Tyter ann wis Quonpam Frienps.—It seems that Goring the last winter or spring, a cougty court in Mr, Tyler’s county, composed of several whig Justices of the Peace, with a view to mortify and humble Mr. ‘Tyler for nis political sin of turning demo- crat, appointed him overseer of a road, with the inten- tion of enforcing the duties, or impose the fine in such cases made and provided inthe statute. The law of Virginia, it seems, specifies no limited time for working on and repairing roads, but itv terms declare that they shall be put and kept in order. Accordingly, Mr. Tyler boing notified of this new honor conferred, set about to discharge his duty. To the delight of his patron Jus- tices and whig brethren, he was soon “seen riding through the neighborhood, summoning the hands to work, The joke was too good to be lost, and many a whig countenance was lit up with smiles, at the thought that the ex-President was at length harnessed with such a mortifying duty. Old Jobn, however, had too often dodged their leaders, to be headed by the small fry, He commenced his labors as a faithful public ser- vant. The road being very undulating he determin- ed to cut down the hills, fill up the gullies and ravines, and make it a good level turnpike road. Day by da: he plied himself to his work; hills and vales attested hia industry. Tho eff.ct of his diligence was not only viai- ble on the road itssIf, but the neighboring farms began soon to show that just in proportion as the rood suc- coeded, fencing, ditches, hedges, ploughing, carting, and every other plantation service, was neglected. For this there was no remedy. The hands were all upon the road. ‘The joke became, in truth, a serious matter. T'ne smiles that ‘lately illumined every countenance turned into shastly dismay. A public meeting of the whole neigh- Gorhoed was called” Headed by the august Justices they proceeded to the scone ot operations, and begge Mr. Tyler for God’s sake, for their sakes, (and perhaps for the sake of Ireland.) to quit working on the road and let the hands go home. Mr. Tyler replied, “that the law made it his duty to put the road in good order, and keep itin such. There were yet a good many bad hills to be cut down and ravines to be filled; till that was done he felt it his bounden duty to work on. He should dislike to be presented to the grand jury for ne- glect of duty immediately after hie appointment.” The Justices promised to excuse him if he should be indicted before them. “He preferred to place himself above the clemency of the court.” The Justices then begged him to resign. Mr. Tyler replied “that offloes were hard to obtain these times, and having no assurance that he should soon obtain another, he could not think, under the circumstances, of resigning.” It is said that he kept the hands at work upon the road, widening. exca- vating, filling, gravelling, and damazing for nearly two months, making one of the finest roads in the Union. It is thought by many that the road will not need re- pair forthe next century. Wonder if the whigs will make another effort to head him ?—Raleigh Standard. Yettow Fever in New Ortens.—The reports from the Charity Hospital for several weeks past, establish the undoubted fact that yellow fever, to a cer- tain extent, exists in the bape be The earliest indi- f an epidemic are invariably to be sought for in rds of that institution ; because the dread disease first attacks the indigent and intemperate ; individuals who are compelled to labor for their daily bread in the open air, aud under the influence of our burning sun ; or whose constitutions have been impaired by alternate privation and excess. and who may reasonably be sup- posed to offer but feeble resistence to thore causes which engender the malady. ‘These two classes of the unac- climated stranger population naturally repair, or are ae to the hospital, for treatment. Hence, it fol- lows that, not only will the first victims of yellow fever be found among the inmates of the hospital, but it may, and frequently it does happen, that while the disease is claimiog a daily tribute from those who are received as objects of charity, private practice, which is commonly conGned, in reference to yellow fever, to the acclimated of the better classes, may scarcely be required to chro- nicle a single fatal case So far as our inquiries have enabled us to judge, this is precisely what bas occurred in New Orleans during the present season. ‘The hospi- tal reports record @ weekly catalogue of deaths ; but by comparing the statement with the entire number o1 vic- tims, as registered by the periodical lists of interments, the inference is justified, that beyond the precincts of the hospital, there is little appearance of an epidemic ; or that, if the disease really extends throughout the city, its type is somild and curable, that few patients suc- cumb, This conclusion derives confirmation from tho opinions of several distinguished medical gentlemen, some of whom declare that little or no yellow fever exists in private practice; while others aver, that the cases that have occurred, have been easily combatted by the ordinary resources of skill. Under these circumstances, we do not really believe that there is any apparent cause for very serious alarm. Nearly every year, sporadic or jolated cases of yellow fever present themselves, as well in private practice as in the hospital ; and within our experience, we have known, more than once, a slight mortality like that under consideration, to prevail, with- out the extension of the disease, so as to lead it to as- sume the type of a regular epidemic. It would be pre- sumptuous in us to assert that New Orleans will escape such a visitation this year; but it would be not less bold to affirm that the present few cases which dail: oveur, must of necessity terminate in an epidemic.—N.

Ihave been here about three weeks, detained by a fractured arm,end yet my time has passed so agreeably that I would willingly make a longer sojourn. Ifall the Mexican towns were as pleasant I would most decidedly “pronounce” in favor of “permanent ocoupa- tion’? of the country. Matamoras contains about five thousand inhabitants. It stands on the banks of the Rio Grande, and is belted round by three beautiful lakes ‘Phe houses are chiefly of one story, in conformity with the plan originally introduced by the Spaniards, founded on an apprehension of earthquakes. They are built around three sides of a square, and the parallelogram within forms a court-yard and garden, in which most of the tropical fruits, such as figs, pomegranates, bananas, &e., are to be found growing in luxuriant profusion.— ‘There can scarcely be a greater contrast, certainly none more pleasant, than to pass, in five steps, from hot dusty streets, with the glare of a burning sun above, and the noise and turmoil of a city around you, into these green retreats, where all is so shady, and still and cool. are so numerous, and of such great extent, that it computed only one-third of the city iv occupied by the streets and houses. Every dwelling has a balcony, and they are the loveliest places in the world for a flirta- tion, so. Early in the morning, c'est d dice, very early, (for the Mexicans are matutinal hirds,) the fair Senori- tas may be seen rising, in all the beauty of dishabille, from their couches, which have been spread upon the balconies. By ascending to the top of a house. at the seme hour, a similar spectacle, though on a larger scale, is presented to the spectator. Oldand young, brown and white, and men, to the proportion of at least one-half @ population, sleep on the flat roofs, escape from the fleas, scorpions, tarantulas, and ‘other such beasts, with which this beautiful land abounds, and which prove such a sad curse to its inhabitants. They (the humans, not the vermin) are not particularly sensitive with re- gard to exposures, and therefore it ill becomes a modest man to proclaim from the house tops the sights which there meet his before the sun is awake, Your pro priety will be farther shocked, I fear, when I tell you, that men and women bathe together, promiseuously, in the clear little lakes which surround the city, without bathing clothes of any cut or color.whatever, butin sim- ply purts naturalibus. What would Newport or Rock- ‘away say to this fashion? The town is defended ut present by a battalion of the 3d dragoons, who are encamped a short distance from it, under the command of Major Cass. | hi made the acquaintance of most of the officers, and a finer, more entlemanly set of men have I never encountered. My fleart warms to them, whenever I think of the manner, the frank, unselfish, noble manner, in which they met me. May my right hand wither if ever I for- ot their kindness.

God grant thet the time may come when in my father’s house, now my own, his son may have it in his power to evince his gratitude for their kindness, by repaying it with tenfold hospitality. Among them are some of the best names in the country, Cass is the son of Gen. Louis C Jenifer and Merrick of Mary- land; Gaines of Alabama, a nephew of the old eneral. ‘Then is John Butler, of Philadelphia—the Butler— the best whip, and the most accomplished dandy in ‘America, 1 don’t mean fop, but dandy in its enlarged liberal sense, comprehending the selenco of Daag ad- dress, &o, Hagan, of Mobile, a gallant, dare devil Irishman, who was at the capture of Monterey, and is evermore unfit for peaceful life.

There are several families here, of Castilian descent, who boast of their pure blood, and express vast contempt for the Mexicans, holding no in- tercourse with them whatever. Whether this proceeds from pride or policy, | know not. Among them are veral fair donnas, ripe and ready for intrigue. ‘I’ beauty is of the highest order—tall fine ieee hy ae raven hair and flashing, biack passionate eyos, which seem to look into your very soul, to read if love can enter there. Of all the dragoons, not one who possesses rae f attractions or pretensions, has escaped heart whole from their burning glances, with the exception of Butler and Cass—the former of whom is married, while the latter affects to be ignorant of their very existence. At mass, when the senoras are arrayed in their best, and the heart is half won to tenderness by the strange influ- ences of the Romish ritual—the thrilling chaunt, the breath of censers, the low-toned vespers, the pening organ—and in the plaza, whore fans and mantillas an languishing looks were all brought into play, I have re- peatedly observed these two Messieurs receiving un- moved the fire of large lustrous eyes, than which there are none brighter, more worthy of worship, under the broad arch of heaven. The saints be with them! Such apathy was never seen before—wife or sweetheart, there must be some strong spell thrown over these two gentle- men, thus to resist such He eat to deviltry.

The climate of Mexico is del ehtfal. The heat is un- doubtedly very great, but it is not of that oppressive sultry character which is so enervating in the United States. The country in the vicinity of Matamoras is rich, and tolerably well cultivated. Nothing can possi- bly be more beautiful than @ morning or evening ride of a fow miles into the interior. Whatever direction you take, the airis laden with perfume from aromatic plants, and as far as the eye extends, flowers of every hue are spread before you. And as yout horse's foot falls on this rich carpet-—richer than was ever laid in kingly balls, crushing the flowers and pressing out their fragrance, imagine the odor which is diffused around you. But the pride and wonder of this district of New Leon, is the cactus, and well and truly do the infinite variety into which it is distributed, and the extraordinary beauty of the flower of each, justify the high praise bestowed upon it, and th® offices of atfection to which it is assign- ed. The bride is crowned with the silver cactus, and ‘oung children, who have died, are buried with the *Ialuz” upon their breast.
