Nep Orleans in IlHolc Fcuer 1Sme.-l1ow dis
trcssng contrast it makes TO compare our city at the
present time with what it is in the winter season.
One may look up the broad, popuous streets, that
during other seasons crowded with the brave, the
beautiful and the fashionable, and yet now could
scarcely find anything to relieve the eye. Cast your
gaze from St. Peter up Charities strect-instead Of
finding the street filled with all that is redolent OF
life in New Orleans, you find blank. Here you
see solitary Citizen who through his business, is
obliged to remain Juggling at his desk, and another
who, from some other, pulls his occupation
after him, in the same manner that a Gray morse
mills his load. The Lcvcc is deserted, and the for
ests of masts that skirtcd it have dwndled down to
almost nothing. The streets that Ill the winter time
were filled with all sorts Of happy, joyous persons
nearance of our city is sadly against the prevalence
of health 1t is useless to conceal the iact-we are
now in the very centre of an cpidemic.-Deltd.

CHARLESTON AND HAVANA MAIL STEAMERS.

CHARLESTON AND HAVANA MAIL STEAMERS
We have had our attention recently called TO the
model of Sea Steamer, the first OF line which is
about to be built in this city, for Mcssrs. HENRY
GouRDIN and others, in Charleston, for the purpose
of conveying the mail and passengers, as well as for
frciehing, between that city and Havana. Her keel
was laid last week. and such progress has since been
made that it is intended TO have her in operation
between the two cities by the first of March next
The model is of beautiful iorm but the better to
adapt it TO her variety Of character, she is to com
bnc capacity with buoyancy, ii would not be imme-
datcly recognized for steamer. Besides the change
made in the stern and bows, the outlines of which
are at once pcrccptibc, it is contemplated to intro
duce such improvements in the construction OF her
guards and wheels, and the parts appcrtaining to
hcm as will materially accelerate her speed over the
s'occan wavc' She is to be 100 feet keel, SO feet
beam, 81 feet depth, and to be of the burthen of
about 1000 tons, and have state rooms and berths
for one hundred passengers; and besides an Engine
with cylinder - inches in diameter and feet
stroke, will be ship-riggcd. LEVIN II. DuNKIN,
Esq, whose celebrity is abroad for "frst rates., is
the contractor by whom she is to be built, under
the supervision of Capt. WILLIAM ROLLINS, who Is
TO be her subsequent commander; and the Mcssrs.
