We receive accounts, from various sources of the.

The Gcorgians will have understood before this

A servant woman living In the house
where he boarded, was seized with the
disease and died within three hours; and
a crockery merchant of his acquaintance,
living in the upper town, was carried off
within sir hours Three persons were
attacked on board the steamboat in
which he came passenger to Montreal,
and before they reached the next land
ing, one of them, a resident Canadian,
was a corpse-the other two could not
have survived. The alarm at Albany,
and in the towns at the North, is very
great, and the precautionary measures
adopted to prevent, if possible, the intro
duction of the disease.
We are not disposed to be alarmists,
but it is the part of wisdom to make ear
ly preparations for the worst. A liberal
appropriation was made by the Common
Council last evening, for the purpose of
providing hospital accommodations for
the sick, should such measure be rem
dcred necessary by the appearance OF
the contagion amongst us. But we trnst
that neither the civil authorities, nor the
citizens, will content themselves with
mere pccuniary appropriations. In the
first place, let the streets be cleaned, and
let them be kept clean-no matter for
the cost. Let the Manhattan Works
throw all the waters they can spare into
the cutters daily, that they may be puri-
fed; and let also the Corporation foun-
tain for the extinguishment of fires, be
kept at work for the same purpose. Let
all the filthy and nnwholesome parts OF
the city-the streets-the houses-the
cellars-all be inspected twice a week,
by officers appointed for that purpose
Let the Corporation cease their prepara-
tons for junketiings and carousals, and
for ietes in honor Of discarded and un.
worthy demagogues, and for once attend
to the duties confded to them by the
People. Again we admonsh the peo-
pie to sobriety and temperance in all
things, and let all endeavor to keep them
selves cool and tranquil. No expense
should be spared-no sanitary measures
left ,untr;ed-to avert from us the dread
ful calamity. Perhaps, with suitable
precautions, under Providence, the bit
ter cup may pass by US.

exciting crisis, as The present, that hun,
