The Health OF the City-The Mortality In the
First SIX Months OF IsA7.

We have for several months past had our fears
alternately aroused and quoted by the conflict
ing statements which yhave been made in refer
ence to the typhus or ship fever. Some have
prophesed plague, others have talked loudly of
contagion; and almost all have supposed that we
were really in dangerous predicament, brought
about by the landing of sick emigrants on our
wharves.
All have been wrong; our city is still healthy,
and will continue to be so.
We have procured an accurate table, which
details with all the truthfulness of mathematical
precision, the exact state of things, giving the
number of deaths in the whole city during each
week of the past six months, with the number
of those who died Of typhus fever, the different
places at which the deaths occurred and other
valuable information. BY the table which we give
below, it will be seen that of the 6 $50 deaths,
which, by the way, is only 266 and fraction
per week out of population, stationary and
floating, of half a million of human beings, by
no means an alarmingly large number,) only
ST. have been the result of typhus fever, which
includes the ship fever and these cases have,
for the most part, occurred at the public or pri-
vate benevolent institutions, or in the prisons,
aoih an emigration Of oUer eighty thousand in
less than foe months of the time.

Great Britain and the colonies of America In
support ofthat great document, which for purity

New YORK SHIP BUILDING.-The impetus CIV
en- to this branch oftrade, by the unprecedented
activity in freghts which has prevailed for about
year, as we'll as the demand made by govern
ment for merchant vessels, has had the effect to
keep up the greatest activity at the various ship
yards in the city. The great demand for new
vessels has been than equal to the ability OF
the builders to turn them out want OF suffl-
cient room for setting them up, and a scarcity OF
hands to complete them, has caused our builders
to turn off many excellent orders, and forced
merchants to fill their contracts in the eastern
States.
One of the effects of this state of things, has
been to bring into the field of naval architecture
a number of new competitors; among others we
notice Messrs. Barclay s. Townsend, both young
men of talents and practical experience, and both
graduates from Webb's yard. With this diplo-
ma they need not fear, success will reward their
efforts. Under our marine head of to-day's pa
per, will be found statement of the progress OF
ship building. during the last six months. 1t will
be of interest to all, particularly to the mercan-
tile portion of our readers.
