The SMALL Pox AND THE PUBLIC STREETs.-As
might have been expected from the state of the
streets this spring, the public health has been at
tackled by that horrd scourge, the small pox 1t ap
pears that the existence of this disease was first Of
fcially communicated to Mayor Harper about week
before his time Of office expired, but no action was
had on the subject under his administration, and now
the evil has risen to such magnitude that unless
the most decided steps taken, we fear that much
suffering and death will ensue. In its ravages this
disease is not confined solely to few districts, but
Isgenerally spread over the whole city, though more
plentfuy in the fifth, SIXTH eleventh, thirteenth and
seventeenth wards The deaths by it that have been
officially reported for the last week amounted to
twelve, but there are doubtless others that have
taken place without reaching the official report
The Board Of Health had special meeting on
Saturday last, and appointed physician to each
ward for the purpose Of vaccinating all who wish it
done. The City Inspector has also been authorised
to cleanse out places where the disease exists, and
an appropriation has been made to meet the ex-
pense.
This is all very well, and we trust that the exer-
tons that are thus promised to be made will not
evaporate in smoke. Whatever is to be done must
be done quickly il any good result is expected and
though this appropriation was made on Saturday
last, we as yetsee signs Of amelioration of the
streets 1t is subject of most vital Importance. and

small but intelligent audience attended in the
chapel Of Columbia College last evening, to hear the
remarks Of Professor Hackley in favor of the esta-
bishment of city observatory. After observing
that it was thought desirable to take that mode Of
introducing the subject to few gentlemen who
should interest themselves in its favor, he briefly
alluded to the objects Of astronomical observation,
which were to ascertain the position, distance, and
magnitude Of the heavenly bodies. He then de-
scribed the different kinds of telescopes used-the
transit mural circle and equatorial; one of each of
these instruments were exhibited, their peculiar uses
specified, and their adaptation to their separate uses
explained. The remainder Of the time, which seemed
very long, was taken up in reading extracts from
paper written by Mr.. Barber Of West Point, on the
various observatories in Europe, which he had visit
ted when on a tour there. Those of Greenwich

lMMIGRATIoN--PRoTEcTTvE SocIETIEs-During
the last ten days, nearly three thousand Immigrants
have arrived at this port. Of these, three hundred
and ninety-one were from the continent of Europe,
the remainder from Liverpool, London and Bristol,
and chiefly natives of Ireland. A large number of
these immigrants-about two-thrds, according to
the best calculation that can be made,-were pos
sessed of sufficient means to enable them to proceed
to the great west, there to take up their permanent
abode. The others were young persons of both
sexes, who landed probably without single cent in
their pockets, but abundance ofheath strength, and
willingness to their bread by industry and toll
The sufierings, privations and mishaps which many
OF this latter class of immigrants encounter, would
furnish materials for romances by the dozen, as
thrilling as any ever written by Sue. Why cannot
some efficient means be devised for extending to
them that aid, counsel and protection of which they
stand SO much in need We have, it is true, the
" Irish Emigrant Society,"" which originated in the
most laudabe motives, but it has altogether failed in
accomplishing the designs of the most sensible and
udicious of its founders Political feeling-the evil
genius OF unhappy Ireland-has blghted and blasted
even this benevolent movement.
The great error in the organization of these "Emi-
grant Societies." is the assumption VT strictly ma
tonal character If in all our large seaports we had
societies for the protection and assistance of mm
grants established supported and governed not only
by adopted citizens of all nations but also by bene
violent and patriotic native-bom citizens the good
which would result would be ncalculable. Thou
sands OF these poor strangers, who have SO many
claims on our sympathies, would be annually saved
from wretchedness and many from wee and crime.
whilst the republic would in every view of the case
be the gamer. When may we hope to see such a
comprehensive, noble and much-needed movement
commenced
