COMMUNICATED.
Mr. SnoVden-In the Gazette Of Monday
last, you say that the person employed to remove
the dirt, Sc. from the town should daily send bis
carts in every alley, SO as to be ready to meet
every gentlemnns servant, at the alley gate, with
his bucket. This. perhaps, would be we'll enough,
as a safe and precautionary measure;-but. let
me tell you, all this is much easier and cheaper
put down on paper than executed by labor. and
would be attended with much more expense and
difficulty than think you are apprised of.-For
instance-some families rise earlier and some
later, whose premises extend to the same alley;
some sweep out their table and yard litter into
the aIlev in the morning some at midday. and
some late in the afternoon. Now, according to
your suggestion, twenty cats, at least, would be
required daily to remove all culinary fragments,
and other litter, that daily and hourly accumu.
late on and about the premises of every house
keeper 10 town, whose premises extend to alleys.
Aud here permit me to ask you, what human be-
ing could have anticipated in the month of DE.
cember last, tOen the street contract ,cas let o,
the extra labor which has been done, and which
you say ought to be done, in order to secure us
as safe as possible against disease which, at this
time, Is raging fatally north and south of us!-
And. without intending any thing like arrogancy
on INV part, permit me to say to those in autho.
rity, that few hundred dollars now, will employ
more labor than four times that amount would
do if the disease were raging here. NJ.

Mr.. Snowden-I was much grali6ed with your
remarks OH the subject Of cleanliness. They
are very suitable 10 the critical state of the times,
and hope they will be acted on. Now is the
all important time for vigilance in preparing the
town against the ravases OF the approaching
scourge. The Corporation ought not to spare
expense or labor. In addition to the duties Of
the Board Of Health, would suggest the propri-
ETY., if it has not been done. of the corporate au-
thorltes supplying the poor with the necessary
quantity Of lime. Let a cart filled with lime be
sent around the town, and furnish the poor with
that article Let it be used abundantIy in all the
back yards and cellars These places especially
ought to be kept clean. saw poor person the
other day buy two cents worth Of lime. The
streets ought to he cleaned oftener than usual
Some gentlemen from PhiIadel phia remarked the
other day that our streets were not as clean as
those in that city; aud that the Cholera here had
somethin to feed upon. trust that the Corpo-
ration and Board Of Health will have no cause Of
regret for want of vigilance. In 1866 the great
plague passed over Oxford. in England, the Par
lament and Courts uf Justice then sitting; and
the escape Of this place was attributed TO its great
cleanliness. The same thing has lately occurred
in town in Scotland. While it IS our duty to
humble ourselves in the dust, and heartily re-
pent Of our sins towards our Maker, let Us at the
same time remove The means Of inviting and feed
ing this terrible pes,iIence. Much NAV and can
be done. Every one oughtto be sober and tenn
perate; lead lives Of peace and quietness; alb
stain from the indulgence of all vice aud wi cked-
ness; and pray to God to foraive our sins. by
turning Us away from our iniquitles, and to heal
our land.
return my thanks to you as visilant senti-
mel, looking out and giving notice of our danger.
have no doubt you will be supported by the Of
fetal authorities. The health and lives of our
citizens are at their disposal, in certain degree.
Let US all be watchful. VIGILANCE.

Irish Meeting. The Philadelphi papers con-
tain call for an Anti-Jackson Meeting in that
city on Monday, signed BY TWO THOUSAND Irish
men, who supported Gen. Jackson in 1928. In
mentioning such meeting, as an evidence OF the
signs Of the times, let it be understood that we do
not approve Of it, and we take this occasion to ex-
adopt the language and sentiments Of the New
York American:-We find fault with it because
we think every thing tending to keep apart, as
distinct and separate body. any portion OF adopt
ed citizens, is wrong in itself, and of injurious
tendency TO our free institutions. Irishmen, En-
gllshmen, Frenchmeu. Germans, men of any
and all nations, are equally welcome here-are
identified with the mass Of our own people in
their feeinus and in name This. however ran
never be, while any portions Of them are urged to
act, BY considerations drawn from the land Of
their nativity, and from assoc atlons foreign to
the country Of their adoption.

Weighs down hrs sunken eyes,
The rigid sl0mber is too deep,
The calm too breathIcss lives.
shrunk are The wandering veins that streak
The fixed and marble brow.
There is no fiGe flush or the cheek
DEATH DEATH know thee now.
Hale King Of Terrors, thou are here
Ia all thy dark array;
But 'tis the tivipg weep and lear
Beneath thine iron sway:
Bring flowers and crown the Early Deao'
The hour Of bondage past;
= Rot wo for those who mourn and dread,
And lngsr to the last.
spring hath its music and its bloom,
And morn its glorious light.
But still shadow from the tomb,
"A sadness and blight,
: Are ever On earth's tovelIest things:
Fhe breath Of change is there,
THE death his dusky banner filings
Der all that's loved and fair.
30 let it be-for ne'er on Garth
Should man his home prepare;
The spirit feels its heavenly birth
And spurns at mortal care.
Zen when young Worth and Genius die,
Let no vain tears be shed,
But bring bright wrestiIs Of victory,
And crown the Early Dead.
