Ship Fever.

We are sorry to be obliged to say that the
accounts of the spread, and the fatality, of this
malignant disease, in Montreal, are of the most
painful character. The Herald complains, and
doubtless with great justice, that the sanitorv
regulations adopted by the Government are al
together inadequate to the distressing emcrgen-
cy, and expresses serious apprchensions that
the fearful mortality now going on among the
emigrants will extend to the settled residents of
the city," The death of the Rev. Messrs
Morgan, ard Montminy, Lieut. Lloyd r. n.
Mr.. Crispo, and others, is announced. and the
life of the Rev. Mr.. Wlloughby of Trint,
Church SIS considered in the greatest danger
We make these statements not to awaken I'M
necessary alarm, but as a matter of public duty
and to caution travellers for mere plcasur,
against avoidable exposure TO disease that i.
manifesty infections.

When the carriage in which the President was
placed, passed the lower end oil the Old State House
at Boston, stout Old gentleman, evidently uneasy
at the plentiful lack OF enthusiasm which prevailed,
took oil his hat and cried out with loud voice Three
cheers for General Jackson and all his friends -
This unexpected draft upon the patriotism of the
crowd was duly honored by loud laugh Even the
President could not resis, smiling the sngularity
OF the appeal. Boston Atlas.
"A friend who was an eyewitness, has rela-
ted to us another Incident connected with this
presidential pilgrimage that may amuse our
readers. While Mr.. Polk was " shaking the
bones " of all such as thought it the polite
thing to call on him, in the splendid drawing
room ofthe Revere House, in Boston, " dem
ocrat' of the first water, whose enthusiasm and
reverence for the head of the great Party had
become excited to the most ardent pitch by GER
tain artificial appliances, placed himself imme-
diatcly before the President and, as soon as he
had attracted his notice, commenced bowling
and retreating backwards, after the prescribed
form ofdeparng from the presence of Royalty
The President bowed low, and the Democrat
bowed lower the latter al! the while retreating
utterly needless, however, both of distance and
direction. The scene was getting lntensly in,
teresting, when our friend the democrat, hay,
ing retreated, unawares, to within few inch
es of the wall, laid himself out for the final bow
which he doubtless intended for the grand couJ
de grace of the OCCASION The catastrophe wa,
sudden and awful! Bending forward with
flourish, he, Of course, brought the rearwarC
projection Of his patriotic person smartly agains
the WALL which sent him, with indecent haste
and ungraceful efforts at recovery, over abou
the whole of the space he had gained, anc
. nearly into the arms of Mr. Polk, As the At
las says above, " even the President" could no
resist smiling at the singu'ariy of the accident
