Considering th heat or the weather, and ihe in tolerably filthy aie of many parts of the city, It Is nothinj; airangt t hat there ihould be yellow fever, bat bis t liule rraBlhat there is not more ol it. lflnlenseij hot weather and filthy streets have any thilljl to io with the creation ol ye.low ever, or fe rn Of Mty kind, it i a little surprising that we hare not more of it. do no), as yet, see any cause for alarm to those wh are regular and moderate in their hab its, and who use those common means of preven tlc;j disease, which all must use, in any part of t he United States, at this season of the year, if they wish to preserve their health, and escape dangerous dis eases. Those who are not in the habit of using thOM preventive means are liable to be sick any where; and more so in IS'-Oilcans than elsewheie. If a person commits excees in his mode of living it is folly for him to expect health any where. There is no place to which thry can flee and be sale. If a man will eat and drink to excess, keep late and Irregular hours, expose himself to Ihe hot sun by day and to the open damp air by night, he hasno right to K' expect health ; and with such a course of living he cannot have health lung any where. Manypersons commit all sorts of excesses, and then winder that they are sick. They cram themselves to excess with all sorts ol food at all hours; drink liquors a dozen times a day, eat and drink late at night, go to bed with a full stomach, have disturbed sleeps in consequence, find themselves. with a headache in the morning, and lie in bed half the day. They are finally seized with a violent fever or some other serious disease, and wonder what tbe cause can be. They do not for a moment imagine that it is their mode of living; for they are ready to declare, that in thair mode of living they are " regular as clock work" and perfectly moderate. It only remains then io throw the blame upon the climate. There are certain very simple and easy rules that require to be observed in any climate in order to preserve health, and in New Oileaus especially should these tules be regarded. They are such as the following : Rise in the morning at half past tour or five ; eat moderately ol such food as is found by observation to digest well in the stomach; never eat till you do not want any more ; never si; two hourr over a dinner table, cramming and tli inking win or anything else, so as to be dull and sleepy after leaving the table. Take merely a cup often and a cake, or piece of bread, for supper, and never later than seven o'clock. Whatever silly fashion may dictate in regard to meals, let heal;h be the only, director, and let fashion govern those who arc abje and willing to be sick. Throw intoxicating liquors to the dogs; and eschew poik, in all i:s forms, as a Jew. Eat occasionally of a little good and perfectly ripe frui!, but only a little at a lime. Bathe frequently, when the stomach is empty, oral least some liir.eafier eating, and use the flesh brush and a plenty of good soap. Do not remain in ihe cold bath over ten minutes, and it your lungs aie affected do not u?e the cold bath at all. The bath, either cold or warm, is a thing which must not be neglected mat k that. Never sit up later than half past ten at night. If your business is such as not to give you plenty of healthy cieicise, lake it in the morning, on fool or on a good horse; but never act into a carriage as long as you arc well and able io walk. Read the newspapers regulai!y, and keep up good spirits not by eating anddiinking as is too much tba custom but by seeking intelligent company, visiting places of innocent and rational amusement, end by change of scene. If you ever think of yel low fever, just consider that it is no more contagious than any other fever in fact not at all contagious , and that all you have to do in order to be perfectly safe, to to observe the above simple rules. One thing more let all quack medicines alone; and if yoa think that medicine ii necessary, consul! some regular physician. A TALE OF AFFLICTION. We learn that the insane passenger on the steam boat Baltic, whose case was noticed in the Gazette two weeks since, died at the AsylHra in this city yesterday, without any return of his reas m. His funeral will take place at 10 o'clock this forenoon at the hoose of Mr. John Thorn, 26 Whitsboro' st., where bis wife hat remained since his committal to the Asylum. Tbe name oi this unfortunate stranger was John GiJtert Collins. He was from Hull in Yorkshire, England, where be was a clerk in a bank, at a sala ry 01200. A fellow clerk having come to this eoontrjr and purchased a farm in Wisconsin, thirty of forty miles from Racine, on his revisiting Eng tt5d Induced Mr. Collins to try his fortune also in this country. He reached New Yoik with his wife some two months since, having buried on the passage his child and a nephew whoaccomp.inied them. They humediately proceeded West, tra veling by tbe canal. At Lockport, Mr. Collins wished to visit the Falls, left his wife to go on with the boat, expecting to meet her at Buffalo on the night of ihe same day me boat was detained oo tbe way, by the denih of . passenger, and by an injury it received, a couple of days, during which time it has been ascertained ,;Mt Collins was io Buffalo, inquiring at the boats for his wife. On her arrival there she could obtain no tidinga ol him, but she went on board the steam boa! la which they were to go up the lakes, and be joined her there just as the boat was leaving. He Ibid when he left Lockport, some 150 sovereigns . tallied labia rest, and probably other money Boot aftM the boat started he manifested Insanity, 4 Bd It WU then discovered that he had been robbed ofhU mosey, his, waucb, cbaio, dec. In his ravings j k p6k t muggltof whha negro, who wis1 tesietedbytwo wbil toeo. The robbery Usup poaed to hare" beea eommiitd at Buffalo, and his insanity and aaddea death to hart beea caused by the effect of boom drag administered t0 him, as he waa Dot a mac Io hare beea crazed by the loss of hisBtcney. His wife kept on with him to their destination, and they remained at the farm he bad Intended pur chasing, Ihreeor tour weeks, hcn hti case became so, bad that aha was obliged to take him td an Asylum. ' " We understand that he was a temperate, respecta. ble man, and that he and his wife had been for many years church members. She Is truly a daughter of affliction, having lost wi:hin a year two brothers and a sister, a nephew, her only child and her husband, and being now left friendless in a strange land. Vtica Oax., 30A nil, Severe Punishment. The punishment of M. Teste, and other French Peers, recently convicted of bribery, Is exceedingly severe, antf should be a warning to all others. The civil degradation consists in depriving the condemned of nil functions or employment in any public office ; they are deprived of the right to vole, of eligibility to any office, indeed of all rights, civil and political, and of the right to wear any kind of decoration ; they are incapacitated from giving les timony as a witness in a court ol law, from holding any situation in any family, as tutor, curator, or councillor; from serving in Ihe army, National Guard, or in bearing arms any where ; they are for bidden to each school, or to bo employed in any establishment of instruction, either as master, pro fessor, or superintendent. i Cats ni Babies. We learn from the Pratlsville Advocate, that a Mrs. Reynolds, of that village, was alone in her house with a babe about a year old, and having occasion to go into an upper room, left the child silling on the floor; but while she was gone, a Maltese cat entered ihe room and scratched the babe's face in a number of places; it then got its nose into the child's mouth and sucked itsbieath until the child was so far gone as to exhibit but few if any signs of life, and it was some time before it could be resusciia cd. A Dreadful Chasoe A Mr. Taylor, residing at Louisville, has been arrested, and et the latest ac counts was in prison, for poisoning his wife and sis tor. Ho mixed arsenic with soda, and offered it to his wife, who refused to drink of it. This look place on Saturday. On Monday he deposited some of the poison In the cofTee which was served for brcukfast; the unconclous wife drank of the poisoned beverage, as did the sister also; immediate nausea and vomit ing resulted ; medical aid was speedily called In, and by proper applications and atteniions the two persons were partiully recovered. When Inst heard from the parties were so mtch improved for the better as to cause strong hopes to be entertained for their recov ery. THE SOLDIER'S LAST LETTER. There Is much of sad and touching Interest, na well as judicious counsel, in the following beautiful extracts, published by llio Alton Telegraph, from a letter written on the eve of the battle of Buena Vista, by Lieut. Fletcher of the Illinois Volunteers, who fell on the next day in the glorious fight : Dear Colonel : To-morrow, we expect to have an engagement wilh a superior Mi xican force; and, on Ihe eve of the affair, I have believed it proper to ad dress you a few lines. As you ore well aware, the object nearest my heart is the welfare of my lillU child; and, so far as I have been able, I have pro ided lor her. Should I ul I, I leave her entirely with you nnd your ti fe ; bull have written to my broth-- r, request ing him to throw big brotherly protection over her; and if, at any time, you think fi: io send her to him he will receive her as his own child, and protect her as such. Should she temain with you, I wish that Bhe should receive as good an education as the little means left her will afford ; snd above all things, teach her that truth and virtue are to woman, 'whit ihe soul is to the body the life of its life. Teach her that to be just to all in thought in word-in deed, is the true, the great aim of a good mind ; and those who strive to accomplish that pupose, seldom fail to live at peace with the world, and accomplish t he ' Great Destiny'1 for which they ore created.

C. ofler the above Line of Boats, on the Cape Fear River, to the shipping public, under the late revision and re duction of Freights. Their new Steamer, ROWAN, now draws only 17 inches water. When she undergoes somo alteration in machinery, her draft is calculated at 14 to 16 Inches, which will make her the lightest boat navigating the waters of any river In tho Southern country. This Company flatter themselves that they have it now in their power to offer the most complete lino of Boats that hns ever been on tho Cane Fear, snd one that will do the freighting business with regularity and despatch on all ttagct of the water. They have, in connection with the Henrietta Company of this place, reduced the freights to the tariff as in printed rates. Neither of the Boating concerns deemed themselves able to re duce the freights and still do the forwarding business in this place free of chcrge, and consequently this Company have given it up, with the conviction, that the Forwarding Merchants of our town con do it more justice than a boating concern. Any (jroods consigned to the Merchants Steam Boat Company, Wilmington, N.

THE undersigned, pnrchisers and dealers In Naval Stores In this place, with a view to adopt some general regulations which seem to them to be founded Injustice, and more In accordance with the customs of other markets, have agreed to establish for their future government, the following REGULATIONS.

Purchases made at the Rail Road depot will be subject to a deduction of two cents per bbl. drayage, thereby placing the sellers by Rail Road on a footing with those by water. These regulations to spply to Tar, only so far as regards the expenses of rolling snd drayage, - The custom adopted in reference to the condition of the barrels it is supposed must be free from all ob- iection, as turpentine put up in perfect order will only be subject to a deduction of one cent per bbl.

And where as it appears that the Inspectors do not consider themselves authorized to make bills otherwise than as prescribed by law, that we will, in all cases, purchase by the bbl, of 320 lbs. and allow the Inspector to make his bill us the law directs 280 lbs. but that there shall be deducted from the bill one eighth of the amount.
