THB YBLLOW ?EVER IV THE WEST INDIES.

The Royal Mail Company have sent out inetnte-
lions to ER. Thomas to alter the coaling arrangereenta there, i
in order, as much as male, to put a stop to the yellow
fever on board the company's ships. The company's sr-
=gement& for coaling et St. Thomas are defective. At the
Royal Mail coal wharf on that Wand there are nearly 20,000
Was of coal stored. With the heat a deleterious gee escapes
horn the CM* which is frightfully injurious to health. Mail
MOMS'S come up to 81. Thomas with a clean bill of health.
la two or three days aster coaling yellow fever almost in-
variably breaks out during the sickly months. The MILIVENS
which run to the windward islands and to Honduras, and
which do not mane op to St. Thomas to coal, hardly ever
get the yellow fever on board. Her Majesty.alp Orion,
with 700 souls on board, which is in the West. Indies, WI
which has not coaled at St. Thomas, has not bad aitC
case of yellow hear. The force does not attack b
trvimte perms who have made many vo to
e lient Indies, or passeagess. That to re
yellow fever is generated from coal issmyttgfrani the fact
that &am and miners who slap mama to the mem of
coals on board the West India stamens ere the meant
soarers from the fever. The Royal Matt Company's coal
wharf Is most leheliciously situated at the foot of • hill, which

coals is hardly sew blown away, and the crews of the mail
packets are theme= inhaling it for the two or three days
which each large packet mhos to coal. The Ls Plata coaled
outside Bt. Thomas herbeer, and the Atrato coaled at the
wharf, and the latter sawed kw mon from fever than the
former. The crews of the mall packet& always say they are
