Nxv BxrcHrsr MArrsRs.-On- Friday evening
Ia, the second bali sf the season took place at the
pavilion. New Brighton II was more brilliantly
.,.ndsd than the former one. Several parties went
down from the city to attend it, besides large, long,
and lustrous catalogue Of beauty from every end Of
the Island The dancing began at o'clock, and
finished at IL, followed BY very excellent petit
sosper, or collation. Several ladies from Upper
Canada were present Z aess ~ t, ~
The company at the Pavilion is very plea
SAINT and agreeable = not so dashng that Of
the summer of lSS7-but probably as happy and
enjoyable. 1t is exaggeration to say that the
young ladies' rusticariag at New Brighton, are the
very choice, in every view they can be taken. We
have already alluded to brilliant young beauty,
native Of Georgia, but now resident here. There

a native Of New Orleans and the daughter of one OF
the most distinguished orators Of the southwestern

But besides these, we found two or three OF the
fair Of the first British Governor OF New
York-that military chieftain who summoned the
brave Peter Stuyvesant the last Dutch Governor TO
surrender, and who compelled that brave old knick
srbocker to sign the terms at his Farm House, now
occupied by the Bowery Theatre-the celebrated
Governor Nichols, who captured New Amsterdam,
and changed its name to New York. These beautiiui
snes are from Long Island and, like their ancestor

brilliant party leave New Brighton today on tour
to the Saratoga Springs.
We understand that the Managing Committee have
determined to have these balls every fortnight, on
Friday night; but on every alternate Friday there
will be hop-so hop away. Indeed, so great Is the
attraction for New Brighton, that ON Friday last,

THr PUBLIC HEALrH.-Early last week Officer
Bower went down 10 Staten Island to await the
rival Of rogue from London. He was aware that
there had been thirty OF sporadic yellow fever
at Quarantine, but his object to catch Euro
pean rascal and not yellow jack, as the fever is called
But the same day he arrested the rogue, the yellow
fever arrested him, consequently he had the agree
able business Of sending his rogueship to the city,
and the disagreeable business Of remaining on the
Island till he got rid Of the fever. He has, however,
recovered, and 10 actively engaged ever in
cagng thieves and raseals Of every description, in
Guiding many from Wall street, who have dipped
into every kind Of sin and rascality-the Lord have
mercy on their souls. s4
OF the thirty cases at Staten Island, all Of which
were brought there from the West ladies' only three
have died, and the balance are likely TO recover.
There is no danger to be apprehended from the con-
tagion in the city If the people will keep themselves
pure, which can be done by bathing often.
The health Of New York was never better than il
s at this moment The deaths in the city this SUM
mer show much diminished number compared with
the deaths last year al this time. Now the city
IL in healthy state, the streets and the houses
should be kept clean. The public thoroughfares
should be swept daily, and the filth which 10 hourly
thrown, by the million and one servants, into the
cutters, removed, certainly once day. Perhaps
the people not fully that they liable to
heavy penalties for heapng the streets with their
dirt and RUBBISH for IL they were what 10 the Of
the laws and what 10 the Of them at any rate II
the street inspectors neglect their busness' II SUI
perintendents were active, and fined one or two
families we opine that the large piles Of decomposed
vegetable matter and immense puddles Of filth would
diminish in size and quantity in very short time.
n is so strange that this city cannot be kept clean
when the corporation have 50 many laborers en-
ployed. We think il would be good arrangement
IL the laws were altered, so that election could
take place in this city every summer, in the mosth
Of July. n they so revised the streets would
be, in the heat Of weather, clean and pure.
There is in this city whs wishes to take
