WE are happy to perceive, from at letter since written by the Mayor of the city of New- York to the Board of Health of Philadelphia, that proper measures linvebecn taken to check the progress of the epidemic. 'I’he Mayor, in his communication, say s, the city is perfect ly free from yellow or malignant fever, and that as the Waatab'iu'. is separated froinNew- York by the East River, and every pi(i{icr measure had been adopted to pt'eveiit a cbm- miinicatian of the cont.igion, they were un der no iipprehension ofa visitation of the fc- 'ver from that source.
