There is nothing which will create and spread a
pestileutial disease more than a crowded and poor
population. In Ilaucker•street alone, between Ca-
therine and Mai ket-street*. one t.creare, there are at
present 1,076 iolinbituota, 335 of which are blacks.
And in the i oust. of Wm. Saito, st 54, Lombardy-
aired, there are no les., than Fi TIT- FOUR itiltalii-
taiits--10 whites and 44 blacks. Let the fever he
once introduced in thine quartets, there will be no
arresting its stage/.

The Comptroller of the State hxs advertised the
soles of certain I.ssris in the State, for taxes. If the
power of insitpooesnent be divcretionary with Ilia),
it would be expe.lient to put off the sale until the
bases improve. In many parts of the State, al-
though the crisps have been bountiful, yet tlkie is
no mode of tfleetiog sales, owing to a want of cir-
culating medium. The sales of lands for taxes, at
this period, would induce those harpies, who have
snore thou once preyed upon the unfortunate % to
speculate, and deprive the poor fanner of his O
seasiiims. These are riot tiaolgfor coercion.

On board the Congress stearboat. Lake Champlain,
Sunday, 6iie o'clock. je.w. September 6, 1819.
Messrs. Lewis and Hall—lt is my unhappy province to
relate to you a distreiniug accident which has jos, happened
epos our Lake. About eight o'clock, a.m. we received intel-
ligence at Burlington, that the etesen-hoat Phoenix was in
Symms off Colchester Point—the boats in our harbour were
immediately manned, and our citizens proceeded by land to
the place of distrem, to render every asaistaate in their
power ; bat unfortunately arrived Sue late. I have col-
lected the following particulars, which I take the liberty of
sending you :
The steam-boat left Burlington about twelve o'clock at
sight, and had proceeded as far as Providence Island (about
half way between Burlington and Plattsburgh), when the
alarm of Are was given about one o'clock at night ; there
being two small boats attached to the Phoenix they were
inmseßately tilled with passengers, but the wind blowing
viokally from the north-west, the pamengers were out all
enabled to embark, and some of them were obliged to jump
overboard.
Captain Johnson Sherman, who has formerly cutommided
this boat, was onforterately sick with a fever, at Vergennes;
the boat was commanded by hie so o, Richard W. Sherman,
• young gardenias of shoat twettly-two years of ago; but
w►o in the diffealties and distresses of this atwhagratioa
displayed the coolness of riper years.
Much credit is due to Mr. John Howard, steward of the
boot, fur his coolness and honesty in the hoer of difficulty.
I understand Captain Sherman and himself saved themselves
by articles thrown overboard after the baste had left. The
wreck of the boat drifted into Colchester Reef, where she now
lira. The persona lust are—
Mrs. Muni, chambermaid; Mr. Maiming, pilot;
Henry Bloods, hind on hoard; Stephen Kelsey, waiter (co-
loured man); Auarew Hannon, cook;. and O. Penner, a
young palletises from thiefiec, about 16 years old.
Is is 'opposed there were *bout 40 pawners on board,
swift which were eight {saint : they hail principally retired
to rest, sod is this saddest alarm t►e baggage woe prioci-
pally lest.
The Riverboat Company, I understood, hail Muskier.
