Now among the steeples was hoard the chiming of the Delis, as of ghoules up there, mingling their boar-e voices as in a chorms of mm over the muuks of fallen mortality. Anon ly trilled the low wail of a mother for the cb'id of her affections, while from the corner opposite burst the song of some low bac- chanal, mingliug iibaldry with sentimest, or ewearing a} Tayer er two a the humor moved him. The skies were a delusive aspect. Above was all cloudless sunshive, sat little in keeping with the black melanebiiy that enveloped ‘al below.

Up rojiea the volumes of dust from the roads, and tie plumes of the Geese carriages in seeming sympathy to the swa, cy: presses of the cone poet d in hele a i pareliing of weepitg mcxs—ft garnitare for such a scene. At the gathering points carriages accumulated, and vaigar teamsters, as they jostled each other in the press, mingled the coarse jest with the ribald cath ; nosound butof profane mulediction and of riotous mirth, the clang of whip thongs and the rat- ‘de of wheels. At the gates, the winds brought inti- mation of the corruption working within. Not a puff but was laden with the rank atmosphere from rotting corpses. Inside they were piled by fifties, to the heut of the sun, swollen with corrup- tion, bursting their coffin lids, and sundering, as if by ph effort, the hgaments that bound their hands feet, and exten dine their rigid limbs in every outre attitude. Whats feast of horrors! Inside, piled inp ids, and withoat the gates, old and withered crones and fat huckster women, fretting in their own , dispensing ice creams and confectionery, and away, with brooms made of bushes, the green bottle-flies that hovered on their merchandise, and that anon buzzed awey to drink dainty inhala- tions from the green and festering corpses. Matn- mon, at the gates, was making thrift outside by the hands of his black und sweating minioas, that ten- dered eweetmests und cvoling to the throngs of mourners or of idie spectators, who, inhal- ing the fumes of rutting bodies, already “heaved the ;” while within, the “ King of Terrors” held fis tatariatin, with 4 crowd of stolid laborers, who, as they tumbled the dead into ditches, knocked them “about the mzzzard,” and swore dread oaths, inter- —— with the more dreadful sounds of demoniac jollity. Long ditches were dug acrosa the great human charnel. Wide enouxh were they to entomb a legion, bat ouly fourteen inches deep. Coffins laid in them their tops above the surface of the earth. On these was piled dit to the depth of a foot or more, but so loosely that the myrisds ot flies found entry between the loose cluds down to the cracked seams of the coffins, and buzzed and blew there their ovaria, creating each hour their new hatched swarms. But xo sound was there of sorrow within that wide Gekenna. Men used to the scent of dissolution had a all touch of sympathy. Uncouth laborers, with their bare shock heads, stood under the broiling heat of the sun, digging in the earth; and as anon they would encounter av obstructing root or stump, would swear a hideous oath, remove to another spot, and gO On Gig ging as beture. Now and then the mat- tock or the spade would di-turb the bones of some former tenant of the mould, forgotten there amid the armies of the accumulated victims, and the sturdy laborer with a gibe, would hurithe broken fragments on the sward, growl forth an energetic d—n, and chuekle in bis excess of glee. Skull bones were dug up from their long sepulture, with out “Frem ench Jack lustre eysless, hole,”” without elicitIng an “Alas, poor Yorick,” end with only an exc 'amwation from the digger, of ‘room ior your betters!” Economy of space was the source of cunning cal- culation in bestowing away the deud men. Side by side were laid two, of giguntic proportions, bloated by corruption to the size of Titans. The central pro- jections of their coffins left spaces between them at their heads and heels. This was too much room to | be filled with e.rth. How should the space be saved! | Opportunely, txe mater‘al is at haud, for a cart comes lumbering in. with the corpses of a mother and ber two littie children. Chuck the children in the spaces at the heads and heels of the Titaas, and the mother by herself, out there alone! A comrade | tor her will be found anon, and her-eif and babes will sleep not the less soundly from the unwonted contact ! ‘The fumes rise up tn deathly exhalations from the accumulatng hecatombs of fast coming corpses. Men wear at their noves bags of camphor and odor- ous apices—for there are crowds there who have no business but to lok ou and contemplate the vast comgregation of the dead. They don't care if they die themseiver—they have become so used to the veek of corruption. “They even laugh at the riotings of the ske'eton death, and crack jokes in the horrid atmosphere where scarcely they can draw breath for utterance. The stoical negroes, too, who are hired at five dol- lars per hour to assist in the work of interment, stag- ger woder the stifling fames, aud can unly be kept at their werk by deep aud continnei potations of the “fire water.” They gulp deep draughts of the sti- nulating fluid, and reeliny to their tasks hold their poses with one haud while with the other tuey grasp the epade, heave on the mould, and rush back to the bottle to gulp again.

And thus, what with the songs and obscene jests of the gravedizgers, the buzzing of the flies, the sing: song cries of the huckster women vending their con- fe , tbe hosrse oaths of the men who drive the dead carts, the merry whistle of the boys, and the stiffing reek from scores of blackened corpses, the | day wears apace, the work of sepulture is done, and | night draws the curtain. THE MORTALITY—THE WHRATHER. } [From ne New © wens Bulle in, Auguet 11] | ‘The mortality continnes unabated, as the repwts in another colamn show with awfal distinctness. There i#a considerable increase in the namber of in- | terments for the twenty-four hours ending yesterday morping at 6 o'clock, over the previous twenty-four | soors. What the mortality will be for the sacceed- | ing twenty four hours Heaven ouly knows. It may | be greater; it may be jess. Ove thing, however, is | evident—the ravages of the demic must diminish, | very shortly, op ant of the scarcity of material. ‘The irterments fur the past three days have been some 644. 3 ‘We have heen assured by eminent physicians that the divease is becomin, decidedly more manageable, and that with faithful nur-ing, and early medical at- tendance, a fatal resu't may be almost a ways avoid- ed. They say—and they ought to know—that the onparalleled mortality is confined almost entirely to those who neglect to vend fora physician in time, | and who are (most of them) so situated as to ren- der it imposible that they should be properly ursed.

Itis true that, in previous years of this “sity, there have beea days which bave exhibited a larger mortality ia one day, buton no other occasion has the aggregate weekly mortality been as urge, nor the progress of the dinease so steady, regular, and unbroken. What is the worst aspect of these facts is, that the season for the Epaavabenice of the epidemic has barely com- menced. _In 1847, the deaths in the beginning of August did nct average tena day. We have, therefore, at at least three mouths for the pestilence tu run. There is no hope that it will terminate its career, unless with the exhaustion of material. At the present rate, this event would appear not to be distant. At least fiiteen thousand of the unacclimated have al ready had the disease, aud are either convalescents- or tenants of the tumb. We have heard of a number who have recovered. Many of the cians declare thut they have lost none of their tients. ludeed, it would appear thatthe thousands who have already died cuuld not have bad the ad- vantage of medical attendance, as the physicians all declare that they have lost no cases! {tis wonder- ful how snecessful they are, cousid the vast amount of mortality! 1f our estimate of the number who have heen attacked be correct, there would remain not more than fifteen thousand of unaccli- mated persous, which, at the it ratio, would barely uifurd materia! tu last out the month of August.

It may be, however, that from this awful visitation, we may derive some use- ful lessons for the future. It may be that our citi- zens will be driven to more vigorous measures to establish the health of the city, to simplify and strengthen its government, umprove its sanatary regulations, give greater heec to the administration of the corporation, improve its streets, the stylé of buildings, and all other means of securing a better pol'ce than we have hitherto had. Should this be the effect of the present visitation, and to promote it, we should not exienuate, conceal or gloze over the present alarming concition of affairs, New Or leans may. yet arise from her cbastening, with re- newed strength, purticd and rejuvenated—even a3 the convalescent from this dread epidemic often finds his constitution renewed aud improved by its attacks. [From the Bulletin Ang. 11] THE EPIDEMICS OF VORMER YEARS. The fund of statistical information trum which the statist may craw data for establishing any particular theory or position, in relation to pust epidemics, is extremely scanty and imperfect. The first advent of yellow fever in this city was in 1794, continaing witb alternate increase aud dimi- nution to 1797. There are no records extant of the actual mortglity from yellow fever alone during tbis period. The average population was less than ten thousand; the average mortality one in fifteen. For a number of years following, the average mortality was over five per cent. Full and accurate details of the several epidemics that have occurred have been obtained, commencing with 1817. Previous to tnat period, the most patient invesugation and research bave not been able to collect any data that can be re- lied upon as fully authenticated. At the time, 1817 was considered a bud year. The population was about 38,000, and the per ceut of deaths by yellow fever to the total mortulity of the year, was 33.86. The year 1822 was a very fatal year, and so was 1841.” A friend has farnished us with a document that contains some facts of iuterest. It is a report ot the Board of Health, bearing date November 17, 1841, and signed by the President of the Board, that experienced physician and laborious and inde- fatigable statist, Dr. E. H. Barton. The Board, on thut cay, Noy. 17, announced to the public the gratifying intelligence that the epidemic was at an end; und that the prudent had nothing to fear, and that our abeent citizens might with safety return to their homes. The report, atter alluding to the distressing scenes which always accompany an epidemic, so full of painful recollections, ases the fol- lowing language: “If New O-ieuns is mbject to epidemics, it has beea conspieucusly manifestea that no city in the world con- twins 8 popuiauion shore bor oms are fuller ot the noolest charities, overdo wing tor its ieie’, giving constant and exuberant exercire to the ficest sympathies uf our pa: tures.

But a week or two azo, we were in- volved in unpleusant controversies with med’cal gen tlemen as to whether the disease, which was taking off several hundred of our ci''zeos weekly, was sa ej ic.

The Ero was strongly advocating the formation of a Savings’ Bank in Vera Cruz. ‘he principal diffi- culty, it says, to be apprehended in the way of cai ing out the proposition, is, that of the manner which the funds ought to be invested. so that they should not be exposed to the risks of a speculation, and that the interest payable on the deposits should be well secured. The Siglo X1X. of the’28th says that the Govern- ors of the frontier States have heen directed to take the steps necessary to protect Mexicans from the ia- juries sustained by the fuilare of the United States to com iy with the eleventh article of the treaty of Gad lupe, by which they undertook to repress In- dian incursions. It is also stated that the subject is to be laid before the cabinet at Washington. A Senor Don José Maria Perez y Hernandez has been arrested on a charge of having, in the first place, gotinto practice as a lawyer at Querétero on the strength of a forged certificate, and played other pranks, till he finally succeeded in being nominated asone of the judges, and ultimately as president of the High Court of Justice at Mazatlan. ‘The Universal states that British vessels of war are in the habit of smuggling ‘ie and bullion in the most scandalous manner, and mentions that the frigate Thetis was detected with $700 in specie, and $6,200 in bullion, on board contraband. The com- mander excused hi by pleading ignorance of the requirements of the law on the subject. The Diarw Oficial explicitly contradicts the“‘ab- surd rumors” that have been circulated respecting alliances of Mexico with Spain and England, for the protection of Cuba, and respecting the aes of again placing Mexico beneath the yoke of Spain. A report is published that seven men have been arrested in Guanajuato, on the charge of having been concerned in the assassination of Don Julien de los Reyes, which our readers will recoilect having been avnounced some time ago. Under date of the 3d of August, the Governor of Vera Cruz has i-sued orders for the settling of the limits of the Territory of Tehuantepec, in accordance with the decree of the 29th of May. One of them is uddressed to the Prefect of the District of Acsyucam, aud this gives most of the ticulars. The limits are to be as follows:—From jarilia, on the Guif of Mexico, a meridian line is to he traced to the river Huillapan, from) which poiat the course of tle river is to be followed on the right bank to its sources, whence a line is to be carried te the pass of San Juan, avd from this port the course of the river is to be followed by its right bank to its source, whence a meridian linc is to be drawn to the Pasific coast. On the western side the boundary is to coincide with that of Huimanguillo. All inhabitants within these limits are to place themselves under the authority of the newly ap wintd Political Chief and Commandant Geuera!, Jon Tomas Marin, to whom the orders from which we trapslate require the Prefect of the included District of Acayucam to surrender his authority. ‘The Eco copsiders this step one of the best that has been taken by the government; especially on account of its being eminently calculated to reduce the hitberto isolated and lawless districts of Acayu- cam and Huimanguillo. In consequence of an inadvertent omission among the holidays ordered to be celebrated in September, that of the 14th, as the “ anniversary of the glori- ous successes of Tampico,” in a former ordinance, a cireular has been issued directing it to be observed in the manner specified for others The President has agreed to allow the maritime customs of Campeachy, Sisal, and the Island of Car- men, to continue as fixed by the tariffthat has been in operation under the date of October 1, 1845. until it be definitely resolved what shall be done with re- spect to thom. F In consequence of heavy and constant rains of late; great fears wre entertained that Huehueto:sa will be inundated; und as the works by which i in drained are in the worst possible state, the Presi- dent bas directed their repair to be immediately commenced. , The Lnaro Oficial says that for some time the capital of Guerrero has been afflicted by a very sin i report alluded to, which was in 1841, arrives at the followmg comparisor In 1822 the deaths from yellow fever were 808, or 1 in 63.28 of the entire ulation. In 141 the yellow fever deaths were ae or 1 in 7%.12 of the entire pcpulation. We turn now to some figures of our own, which are equally reliable, for we take them from a register carefully kept ir our office, and a correct transcript of the official retorns. The average population in 1847, in New Orleans, was 90,000. The firstcases of yellow fever reported were for the week ending the 10th of Joly, and the number was 5. It continued to increase slowly up to the 3ist of the same month, when the weekly retarn was 47. | The total of yellow fever for the month of July in | that year was 74; of other diseases 647. The disease was pronounced epidemic on the 5th Angust. The deaths on that day of ycliow fever were 17, aud from that time daily returns were published, optil the 22d of October, when the epidemic ceased. In the month of August the yellow fever deaths amounted to 1.057; of other diseases, to 5 Tn Sep- tember the deuths by yellow fever were 946; by other direaves 463. In October, up to the 22d inclusive, the yellow fever intermenta were 136, and of other disvases 244; making a total for the season, from gular epedemic, which is causing terrible ravages among the unfortunate inhabitants. It is said to be romething like the yellow fever (fiebre amaridla) but takes such various forms, that in some cases it termivates with a vomiting of blood, in the act of which desth strikes the victim.

El Siglo XIX., of course, 80, it, £l Universal and El Omni- bus both oppose it, and thas notwithstanding sig- nificant hints have been giveu that their doing so is by no means agreeable to “the powers that be.” The Ommbus, of the 3d, announces that the Governor of Sovora, in order to provide for the de- freying of the expenses required fer the war against the lnd:ans, has decreed the imposition of a direct tax of $3,400 per month, of which Hermosilla is to furnish $1 000, Alamos $1,000, Ures $700, and Guay- was $700. It adds: “We do not know if the Go- vernor of Sonora is authorized by the supreme go- verument to impose this contribution, but we believe that in the present order of things subaltera autho- rities cannot decrea imposts without previously being so authorized.” In the State of Chihuahua, various ies of Indians have been completely defeated. Ia an en- counter between one purty and some soldiers, four Tudians and the Chief Coginillin fll. In the Sierra Madre, however, they have carried off many cattle, and killed Reyes Hernandez. The Omnibus, ot the 3d, contains a decree from the Ministry of War and Marine, exempting pure Ia- diuns from the conscription for the army, and pre- serving only the same Pronossion as before ordered of the numl to be levied from among the other in- habitants. Col. A. C. Ramsey, the originator of the active en- terprise of connecting San Francisco and New Or- leans ty means of steamships and a stage route across Mexico, has beeu in Mexico fora couple of months, engaged in completing the arrangements for the trans; ition of the muils and pasenges by this line between Vera Cruz and Acapulco. We are unable to a how far these arrangements have pro- gressed. ey must be sttended with much Giffical- ty, asthe stages have to be made to order at the North, a large number of good animals procured and stationed along the road, which in very many places must require a good deal of repair. Col. Ramsey bas established an express between Vera Cruz aud Acapulco, for the transportation of newspaper Tt was expected that by this means news from California would be received here regularly ahead of that hy the Nicaracua aud Panama routes. Our correspondents in Sun Francisco write us that the departure of this express from Asepulce is advertised for days that render the above antici va- tion somewhat vain. The express is to leave Aca- pulco on the 4th and 18th of each month, and the steamers for Panama leave San Francisco the lst and 16th of each month. This, according to our correspondents, makes it quite impossible for the steamer to conneet with the express in time to get California news of a late date to Vera Cruz, and thence to this port. Col. Ramey will doubtless arrange this difficulty as soon as it meets his attention. He writes to us on the 26th ult., sa) :— We leave Vera Cruz on the 4th and 18th of each month, with a California express mail ; and we leave Acapulco on the same dates, with ano- ther mail from California for your city, which will be taken there by the steamer Texas.” ‘The Mexican government has taken much interest in the proposed mail and passenger route, as will be seen by the following documents. The first is an of- ficial letter from General Anaya, the head of the peas Post Office Department. We give a transla. ion :— GENERAL DIRECTION OF MAILS. Mexico July 18 1853. In 8 su) order of the 6th inst., which I received on the 16th, bis Excellency the Minister of Hustenda (Irea- sury) writes me as follows:— ‘His Excellency the Prenident 1s informed by your offi- cial despatch, No. 95, dated the 224 of June last, of the improvements intrcouced by Mr. Albert C, Ramey in the live of steamers between Acapulco and San Francisco. in Califorria, and between New Orleans and Vers Cruz, and in tbat of wails from that port to Acapulco, whose days of arrival ana departure ave stated in the expy which a3 companies yours. And you ask to be authorized to pub- Urh the eame. ,His Excellency ha+ been plea-ed to accord this permnission, which I communicste to youin snswer for that purpose. To the same effect to day their Execl- levcies the Governors of the States of Vera teas. Poedla, Mexico and Guerrero buve been written to, to place no obstacle in the way of the fixing the ports of Senor Ram- sey, but on the contrary to afford every facility in placing ibess very useful estubii-hneate.

RarLRoap AccrpEnt.—An accident occurred on the Erie and Northeast road, nine miles east of Erie, near Monrhadville, yesterday morning. The axle of the baggage car gave way. The coupling which at- tached it to the other cars became unloosened, and the next car, a passenger car,was thrown off and fell at right angles with the track. The other passenger cars came in collision with it and it was smashed in fragments. Not a single seat was left entire. Every- thing was destroyed but the lamps! The other two cars were damaged baciy. Noone was seriously in- jvred but a lady from New Hartford, Ilinois, who bad ber shoulder dislocated and her collar bone bro- ken. Others suffered slizht bruises and contusions. Some funny things happen on these railroads—they play ‘‘fantastic tricks before high heaven.” A wheel became disengaged from one of the cars, and it flew with ‘the velocity of a bird over the earth, leaped two fences, and stopped not until it brought up against a house, and within a few feet of where a woman was standing. It had gono nearly eighty yards.—Clevciand Plaindealer, Aug. 16. Snockixe Scuicrpe in Crxcrynati.—Yesterday morning about 9 o’clock a man by the name of Peter Noe, who was married on Thursday last, by Esquire Marchant, to a German girl, named Maria Miller,but seven weeks from Baden, infiicted a shocking cut on his own head with a hatchet. Covered with blood, he rushed from his house, on Kilgour street, where he had inflicted the wound upon his head, to the depot of the Little Miami Railway, where, uttering a terrific sbriek, be prostrated hiinself on the rail be- tween two cars of the Mail train from Columbus, jast then entering the depot. Four wheels passed over the nifeerable man’s waist and onc arm, cutting,man- gling, and bruising bim ina horrible manner, but not immediately killing him. The horror strack epectators lifted him from the rail, and placing him in a bed, ina baggage wagon, first carried him to his house, then to the Commercial Hospital where the physicians pronounced his case utterly hopeless. —Cincinnati Gazette, August 16 Stock Sates Pmaprurma, Ang. 18 —Reporied by Keon & Tavior.—- Fert, Board —¥A (0 Penns 5a, ; 1,000 Rich Diet Goupen 6's, +5 9416 200 do, $4; 3000 Sctuytill Nav Oe, 8D, 66 $000 Reading RRs, 170 #5, 87; 2 sha Sebuy lili ; 00 €d, BL; 700 do, b5, 20%; 10 do, 1055: 100 do, 6 Reading Rit, 4! éo, +5, 413¢; 100 Long Inlane KR. 155%. 100 do, 1 00, eash, 163. 1009 bh. 163%; 100 do, 2days 0 ¥5. 163 GPenea RR 487%: Bo. wh 48% 4834: 50 slatebtll Gokl ©», 7% Ny, Between Boards ~$5 006 Penns 5's, 7 060 Rending RE 6's, '70, 87; 200 sha Morria Ca 200 Resdirg RE, &dayn, 41; 200 do #5, 41; 16 Se Nav oveferred. 20%. 100 Tang Inlard. boaint, 15 do, #5, 159K; 100 Girard Bank 24 TBM. $1000 Pexnn 6's, 99%; 1,000 Lehigh O's. 7 Pro Tabich Mort G's 101: 24 060 Eebny kill Nav 6s, "#2, bh, 19%, 1.000 do, 82,7045; 1,000 Wilmington RR 6's, 08. 100 she Keading RR, °5, 41; 100 Long Island RR, bown. 16%; 60 Urion Cavel 14%; 100 Morris Canal, bs, 17: 100 Schuylkill Nav preferred: +5, 30% 10 Pouna RI 48%; 18 Kentucky Bork, Tl After Board —$1 000 182, bb 7934: 100 evs Sohaslkill Nav Nev O's coo ae ly. 100 Long I Iso BR. 6d, 15%; 300 do, bb, Tits; 100 do, 24, 1514.
