NEW ORLEANS.

On the 25th, the following notice was
published in the ". Orleans paper,
"I'he board OF health have seen with
regret that several strangers have had the
,emerity to come into the city within the
last week. and fallen victims to the fever,
which, Notwithstanding the cool weather,
unhapIily continues to prevail. The
sudden decrease in the number Of deaths
is believed to be owing more to more to
the absence of proper subjects, than to
any change in the character of the dis
ease. Strangers are therefore admoDish.
ed to avoid the city, until the board of
health shall redeem the pledge made to
The public, to give the earliest iDforma-
ton when they may enter it with safety.

in this week, which makes the present
stock in frst hands 5000 bbfs, and there

article government is about 70 lay duty
of Sd per cwt Salt provisions continue
to hold their prices, and sell rapidly at
the quotations, although the importa,iens
iatteriy have bsen very considerable; but
the consumption is great on account of
the ground provisions and plantations,
with which they arc used being plentiful.
Hams, cheese butter, lard and candles.
are saleable at the quotations and the
supply limited. The weather having
been unsettled for the last three or four
weeks, has prevented the. coffee coming
in as plentiful as it otherwise would have
done; and made that which was brought
TO market inferior. The rainy season is
however now over, and we look to having
the market plcntifully supplied in few
weeks with the best quality, and at some
reduction Of price. from the present quo-
tatiops.

A gentleman of this state, to whom
this country is much indebted for his for
mer inventions, has lately completed a
a naachaa efor cutting FIR from skins with.
out injury to the pelt, which has hereto.
fore been rendered useless to leather
1t 10 also ascertained that this machine
will shear cloth better than any machine
now in use. One man can cut, with this
machine, the fur from l ,000skins per day,
or shear $500 yards of cloth-whereas
the cutting of the fur from SO skins OF
shearing LEO yards of cle,h is considered
a days work, by the present mode of cut
ting and and shearing. Thus there is a
saving Of l9-20ths of the labor. The fur
cut BY this machine is pronounced, by
good judges, to be better than that cut in
the usual way. Considering the great
saving of skins, particularly the seal, and
labor, we must pronounce it one of the
most important inventions which has ho-
noured our country. Bsst. Pol.
