These ships are ofthe first class, and cost from
as, 900 to Sc. 900 dollars-the average cost may
be about $4,000 each. The expense of each
ship for voyage is from 1000 to 1900 dollars,
not including near ard tear, and interest on the
cost, but the actual run Of the ship, as il is cal.
led. In the above list of ships, you will observe
one transient ship, called the Ocean, very
fine Hamburger vessel, and her freight out
was 2loI IS Sd. The owner said il was ru-
nous to send ships here. as his loss would be
great.
The new ship Independence, which vessel
sails this day for Liverpool, has freight OF
only 256 SIS. Sd; but the experiment works well
in another way-the ship is full OF steerage
passengers. The consignees say, that at least
900 have applied for passage home, but she can
only take her laufui number. Times are so
brisk now in America, they feel fearful of work
ing themselves to death, and choose returning
home. A list Of Of the other lines Of ships vii be

It will be seen by to-day's Gazette, that the
Board Of Health Of New York have officially
announced the appearance of the Cholera IN
that city. We refer 10 that announcement Tor
all the information that can be deemed authen'
tic as to the prevalence of the disease in that
city. The Journal Of Commerce, dated at 2
O'Clock P. NJ. on Saturday, says, there was
but one new case that day, up to that time, and
that it is not likely to prove fatal"
The existence OF the Cholera in the Atlantic
cities calls for the most active vigilance on the
part of all the public authorities and the citi-
zens generally Temperance, cleanliness the
continual and general use of the disinfecting
agents. abstinence from all crude vegetables
these prcventivcs are recommended, and should
be observed No city, no town, no family, no
individual, should neglect the excellent rules
which are laid down for The preservation OF the
nublic health While upon this SUBJECT We
would remark upon the folly and imprudence
of concealing the existence OF the disease,
wherever il has or may occur. Ii is most m .
taken notion that prudence requires any niyste-
nv about the occurrence Of case of Cholera or
a dozen cases. The New York Board of Health
have very properly made public the facts so far
as their city is concerned 1t will maintain con-
fidence among the people. The Montreal and
Cincinnati papers are now regretting that they
did not in the first instance pursue the same
course
