REPORT or INTERMENTs-In the report of inter-
ments in this city and Petter's Field for the past
week, the sum is oac hundred and sixty nine. OF
these, Consumption claims by far the greatest pre-
portion of victims for any disease, the number
being thirty cight-a startling number when the
variety Of ministers the King of Terrors employs is
taken into consideration. Why this fell destroyer
should be thus prevalent puzzles us. Consumptionis
sometimes hereditary, but is usually generated and
nursed by damp moist climate, such that which
prevails on the of England and south of
perpetual drzze but here, in this dry and kracing
atmosphere, some other must be found. May it
not arise in great measure, from the light and care
less manner in which the ladies Of New York are too
apt to bid defiance to the nclemency ofthe season p!
God knows we would n t infringe ioa Of their
privileges blu, we will say, (much as admire such
spectacles) we would rather see the pretiest ANGLE
that presses the pare of Broadway obscured by the
thickest Lnsey woolsey woven, than that the
fair owner should run the risk of such direfu calam
ity. This is hint thrown out for the benefit of our
gentle readers.

SYLVESTER RI. MrLLs.-Thls gentleman has been
several times Of late mentioned in the newspapers
connection with the next elceton for Mayor. OF
this " Z know lte-but there is another matter we
have heard something Of We understand that a
very curious is now pending in Chancery, in
which hes one Of the parties, and which involves a
large amount Of property in some way other. His
counsel are Messrs. Maxwell and Hoffman if we are
not mistaken-and the suit grows out Of some singu-
lar that took place in this city during the
advsn, Of Matthias the famous religious mposter.
Mr. - H. Mills in his younger years exhibited
peculiar and extraordinary example Of American tao,
and genius fcr business. He established one Of the
greatest commercial houses in this city, and at an
age when men begin life he exhibited all the maiu-
rty OF talent which experience alone is supposed TO
give. The consequence was that he became, without
effort, what any similar man may become in this free
land rich and independent in his circumstances.
From his early habits and education, he had naiu-
raj and habitsal regard for religion and every thing
that looked like Pcsy and philanthropy Falling into
the society OF those men who deluded short
time SINCE by the rcveries Of Matthias he became en-
tangled in some matters to give rise 10 the pre-
sent suit in Chancery.
A there is something in this business Of which tho
public are yet ignorant, we shall endeavor, some day
soon 10 enghten them on subject that will open TO
a. \ new chapter OF human nature. OF late Mr. Mills
has been great traveller at home and abroad lie
IL at present residing in the As or House. and highly
esteemed for bis philanthropy his urbaniy hIs in

which invariably marks genius capable OF shining
