We have heard, as our readers will
have seen, of the arrival of judge Pro-
vost, an agent Of the United States, at
Valparaiso, on his return from the mouth
of Columbia river. 1t is said that our
government has received from him high.
ly interesting report Of that part of his
mission. We do not know whether it is
intended TO be published but, if i. we're,
We are persuaded it would be very gene
rally acceptable. We want such docu-
ment to make us acquainted with that
most important, though remote scion Of
the Republic. We even hope that Mr..
Provost will bring back with him materi-
ais to furnish volume on the subject, in
stead of letter Of few pages, and that
he will not withhold from his countrymen
the fruits of his enquiries and observa-
tions. 1t will not be 10 the power, If ii
were the wish of the Atlantic States, to
prevent the growth Of powerful CON-
mercial state at the mouth and on the
banks Of the Columbia. All the Informal
ton respecting the country, which We can
obtain, is therefore desirable.

Unhappy Occurrence 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, lad, Of "a or 10 years
OF age, was unfortunately killed by the
unexpected discharge Of gun, on board
the schr. .-, Capt. Green, Of North Car
olina, lying at Fly Market wharf. Inc
lad went on board the evening previous,
and after stating that he was stranger 10
the city, requested permission to sleep 10
the sails Of the vessel. The Captain re-
piled that be might sleep in the cabin win
his little son. The lad accordingly supped'
lodged, and breakfasted in the cabin. Al
ter breakfast, the Captain went on shore
TO attend to business, and during MS aO-
sence, the two lads amused themselves
with gun, which they supposed was I'm.
loaded. At length the Captains son level
led and snapped the gun at his companion /;
and heavy charge Of coarse shot entered
his breast, and he fell lifeless upon the
deck. We understand that some person
from New London has since seen the lad'
and recognized him as an apprentice, VINO

Warning TO Sabbath Breakers. On
Sunday last, William Cavener, by trade a
Shoemaker, with several of his compan-
ions, went down the river on sailing ex-
cursion. On their return home, being
as we understand, all much intoxicated,
Cayener fell overheard and was drowned
His body was found short time after.
We hope that this warning Of Providence,
will lead the Incorporate, and profaners
OF the Sabbath, to reflect seriously on the
impiety and folly of such conduct.

BALTIMORE. .JuIy 5.

Fourth Of July.-Yesterday the diff
fereut regiments attended divine worship,
and sermons appropriate TO the occasion
we're delivered. 1t would, we think, be
compatible with the dignity and solemniiy
Of the occasion, if this mode Of solemniz-
ing the anniversary Of our national indie
pendence was more generally adopted.
1t is usually celebrated by an oration-a
military parade and toasts. Unfortu-
nately, in high political excitement, these
toasts are made to partake of all that
rancour, entertained by party opponents !;
SO that the day which ought to be COM
memorated with all the cordial and benev.
client feelings, is too often sacrificed to
party spite and resentment.

THE YELLOW FEVER


\ THE YELLOW FEVER.
We regret to have to state the existence
Of this dreadful disease in Philadelphia.
1t is said first TO have made its appearance
at Mr.. Reeves, at Market-street Ferry,
who, with his wife, several others Of his
family, and boarder, fell victims to it..
When the character of the disease was
discovered by the attending physicians,
all the patients were removed to The Jersey
shore, TO prevent it from spreading; but
number of cases have notwithstanding
occurred since ia the city and liberties.
No notice of this melancholy subject has
appeared in the Philadelphia papers; but
our authority for this statement is deemed
unquestionable. Accounts differ on the
question whether the fever is of foreign
or domestic origin.
After the above article was in type, we were
favoured with Philadelphia paper of yester-
day, from which we copy the following, contra
dictory of the foregoing statement:-1
HEALTH OF THE CITY.
We do not know of any period at this
season Of the year. when our city has been
more healthy than at present. Some ru-
mors having spread abroad of the existence
of the YELLOW Feper here, we have been
very particular and minute in our inqui-
ries on the subject, and find that there is
not one case of it 10 Philadelphia. Two
OF three persons, one Of whom died, were
attacked with fever in a more than usually
malignant form. This circumstance pro-
baby gave rise to a temporary alarm,
which has been magnifed as it travelled,
into the yellow fever. Every precaution
has been adopted by the Board Of Health
to preserve the health Of the city. While
OH this subject, We cannot refrain noticing
its cleanliness. The City Commissioners
have been very attentive 10 this department
of their duty. They have within short
time pursued plan which will meet with
the appreciation Of every one, that Of let.
ting the Schuylkill water Aow into the
cutters, and giving them a thorough
cleansing. This is done before daylight
in the morning, so that the people are not
annoyed by the offensive smell occasioned
for the moment by the operation. The
City Commissioners deserve great credit
for their attention TO this important matter.
Accident-The Newark Centinel gives
the following account of the manner in
which the late celebration closed 10 that
town." During the evening, in the Mil
itary Garden where the fire works had
been prepared, very serious and alarm
ing occurrence took place, which greatly
damped the amusements Of the evening.
In the very outset Of exhibiting the fire.
works, surrounded by a numerous collec
ton Of ladies and gentlemen, the rockets
(carelessly placed on the PLATFORM took
fire, and taking horizontal direction, ex-
ploded in all directions among the assem-
bly,. The terror and confusion at such an
unforeseen event may be imagined, but
hardly described. Several Of the ladies

injured by the violence with which they
were assailed by the exploding rocket.
We have heard only Of three or four who
were severely injured-and these, we un.
derstand, not SO serious as TO endanger
their lives"
