It wou seqm that this devastating scourge must, ina week or two more, expire if {rom no other cause than lack of al:ment. Alicady it has seized upon and destroyed num- bers who, because they had passed many years in New Orleans, believed themselves acclimated by a natural process. be subjects who stiil remain must be com- paratively few, for if five thousand have perished, at least ‘twenty thousand have had the diseare—while pro badly fully that number of unacclimated persons have fied from the pestilence. I the authorities will only do: their duty by inflexibly preventing foreigners from en- tering the city until the Board of Health shall announce the dirappeararce ofthe epidemic, we may choriah a hope--since at best ‘tis but s hope--that the disease will ere lorg begin steadily to abate. AN EPISCOPAL PRAYER. ‘The fol'owing prayer, to be used in the con of thin diocess during the prevalence of the called yellow fever, is set forth in conformity XLVII, of 1842, of the Gezeral Convention of the Protest- ant piscopal Church in the United States. Bishop of tho Protestant E Tiocese of Louisiana Bayou Lalvurcha, August 9, 1853, PRAYER, Ob, almighty and merciful God, to whom alone belong the issues of tife and death, we thy servants, bowed down uncer a deep sence of our unworthiness, do meekly ee eae we have grievously sinned, by thought, word and deed, against thy divine majesty; and that, by our sing, we have most justly provoked thy wrath and indignation against us. But, ch God, who desirest not the death of @ sinner, but rather that he should turn from bis wickedness and live, be merciful uuto us, be merciful unto thy people, who turn to Thee with un- feigned confession and humilation, and give us grace, that we hy 4 truly repent of our sins Rest, and be turned unto Thee, the Lord our God, with full purpose of amerdment of life. Spare us, good Lord, spare thy ser- vants, who are grieved with the remembrance of our sina, and turn from ua the ravages of the pestilence wherewith, for our iniquitios, thou art now visiting us. Axd mereifully gravt, that while this, thy Fatherly cor. rection, may teach us ever hereafter to be mindful of ‘Thy righteous judgment, it may alto impress us with a sente of our dependence upon Thee, snow to put our whole trust and confidence in Thy mercy, and ever- mere to serve and please Thee, in newness of life, through Jesus Christ our Lord—Amen, THE ORPHAN: The 165 little children, says the Picayune of the 234 ult., who, left orphans by the iofluence of the epidemic on their parents, wei et by the Board of Heaith and Connell Committee in two temporary asyluma—one on Julia street the other in the Fourth district—heve all ‘deen brought together under one roof, in the large build- ing at the corner of Poeyfarre and Constance streets, Virat district, where they are taken care of by the bene- yolent ladies of the heya d of St. Vincent de Paul. The Mayor, who visits caily all the public hospitals, infirma- L_ POL copal Churee in the ries ylum a, said to us in conversation yesterday, that Mp could stand the hospitals pretty well, being ao- cue d to such sights, but that it was difficult not to be ed by the scene this asylum presents, with so many unfortunate children crying for their mothers. AN OASIS IN THE DESERT. Agentieman, says the Delia of the 24th, in whose veracity we have every confidence, informed us yesterday that out of fifteen cases of yellow fever which had oc- curred in the boarding house ct Mra, Lightoap, corner of St. Charles and Poydras streets, but one had resulted fatally, and that was caused by # relapse. Such {n- stances as these, though rare as the oasia of the great cerert, are as cheering as many we have painted are aad and beartrending. and will rerve toiospire our wnaccil mated people with some confidences; they may see by this that although they toke the fever their cliauces of recovery aie great; but they should guard well against the relapse, for that is the rock upon which a majority of em split. No perron attacked with the fever should leave the room under twenty days, and the diet should be of the very light © description of food. A Wi ii OF THE PAST. A short time since, says the Del/a, an aged man, a re- yolutionary soldier, from the State of New Jersey, arrived in our city, for the purpore Of attending to some busi- ners, and collecting some money due to him. A few cays since he was stricken down with the fever, and last evening there were no hopes of hia recovery; and, ere tis, perhaps the spirit of this revolutionary father bas joined thoee of his companions in liberty’s cause. His name is James Millor; he is in the charity hospital, and we think that rome measures should be taken to pay suitable funeral honors to this relict of bygone days. Thovgh we would suggest that no noire be made—let it be conducted with that silence which experience bas shown is #0 necessary at the present time, THE HOWARD ASSOCTATION. ‘The Trea nicer of the Howard Assce'ation informa the Huiletin that be will vot pabsich way partionlar names of sending him me 1 the ond of tne Tien be will publah « ot all woceys ‘roowel by BI” from tha various parties who bare pai tor seat money, checks, ete, to him, direct, 8 BousinG Tak —Tho usvai number of tar We rrels were burned on the 23d instant, io a few spots» Wout town.

Johnson, the who died from in- juries received by being run over by a car on the Hudson fUver raitroad, a¢ the corner of Went. and, Gansevoort ata., on Saturday night last. We bave already published the circumstances of the accident, The following is an ab- stract of the testimony taken on the inquest:— Alexander D. Smith, one of the policemen of the Ninth ward, testified to having met the driver of the car ia question immed ately afier the accident occurred. Ha was driving four horses slowly, and having stopped, told the officer that he had driven over & wan; that the horres got cn top of hin before he discovered that any one was on the track. ‘The officer then went to the placo avd found the injured man surrounded by several persons, He conveyed hiin to the hospital. There were no lights on that part of the road. and witnoes did not notice that the horren had bells upon them. He had seen cars drawn by horses on this road without the bells attached. James Bell, grocer, residing at No. 72 Gdnsevoort street, was near when the accicent occurred, and raid he heard no bells, aa is usually the case. He thought there were co bells on the hores at the time, Policeman Smith, also, in his testimony, stated that there was a sewer build ng at the foot of Gansevoort street, which terminates in West street, at the side of the Hud- son River Railrosd track; he was told by a awitehman connected with the road, that the company employed a man, Whore duty it was to station himself at this point, ard give notice of danger, and prevent travellers from into the sewer at night. On the night of. the acci- informed the policeman that this man was act i8 post; there wis no ligt placed at or near the sew er at this on the night of the ascident. James Wilson, the driver of the car which ran over the deceased, being sworn, ‘aid he was employed to drive be- tween Thirty firet street and Chambers atreet, a distaace of about e miles; the time allowed to drive from Thirty first street to Chambers street, is twenty five mi- utes on an exprers train, and thirty five minutes with » way train; the regulation of the company is to have bells on every train that goes out; he never droves train of Lorres on this road without bella, until yesterday, was on a rew train, and only for an hour, there are lights attached to bagsage cars; the brakeman svat carries a lamp; such trains only come to Canal 5 ; they are not limited to any particular time in going up; we seldom have brakemen & up on such trains; L ran a train over the (eceased on Saturday night; T waa driving a freight car at the timo; it was very dark; Thad bells on my horses, four in number; | was mear the sewer when | eaw the front «pan jump. and was satisfied that I ran over somebody; | was at the tim ig ona slow trot; Laid net see or hear the deceased before the horses jumped over him; I brok@ up as soon as I could, bus could not stop the car before it went over bis body, The brake on my car was not a4 good and the car went pear a block ahead before I could stop it; I then told « peliceman what had bappened; I called out to the man who was stationed at tho sewer, but he was not at his post; he came up shortly afterwards; if he had been there with bia yer Tdo not think the accident would have occurred; I don't know his name; he was placed there to prevent accidents which might happen at the sewer. Coroner Hilton charged the jury as to their duty, and after a short absence they rendered the following ver dict: —'That Peter A Johinaon came to his death by in juries received by being run over rt one of the Hu iver Railroad cars, a sewer building at the jane- tionof Gansevoort and West streets, through the negli- gen building said sewer, in not having proper lights placed at ao dangerous a place; also of the Hudson River Railroad for not having proper brakes and lights on said cara, with a perron to at! to them; ard we recommend the Common Council to pass an ordinance ielative to railroad cars, for the proper protec- tion of the lives of our citizens. Further, we exonerate the driver ef said car from all blame,’ ‘Tho deceased wasn native ofithis State, acd thirty-two vears of age, He lived at No. West Thirty-Afth street, where he leaves a family.
