SuREvEPoRT.-The population of Shreveport is
increasing so rapidly (says the Gazette) that we
are quite unable 10 " keep the run of the new
comers There once was time when we found no
difficulty in knowing everybody here, but that time
has passed, and we now meet new face at every
turn We wonder where this is to stop9 There is
a nuisance here, for the abatement of which we
call vigorously upon the town council. We, in
common with other denizens, have hitherto been
enabled TO diminish the distance between two given
points by going across vacant blocks, but so many
houses have been put in the way that we are now
compelled to go all the way around corners, and
the fact is, it is constantly getting worse.
The same paper states that navigation has opened
on Red River as high as that place, and says that
the Violet took down as much cotton as she could
carry at 81 bale, through to the city. This will
afford some little relief to the warehouses, they
are not full, but running over.

THE INTRODUCTION OF CHOLERA INTO New
YoRK.-The New York Courier, alluding to the
cases of Cholera on board the Havre packet New
York, says there is something mysterious in the
manner in which the disease has been brought TO
this country in that vessel and it is accounted for
only on the supposition that the vessel her pas
sage must have passed through a current of atmos-
phere tainted with the Cholera, or some similar
disease:
The ship sailed from port perfectly healthy,
and where not a case of Cholera had been heard of.
The ship was as clean as sand and water could
keep her, and all who know Captain Lines, know
that he always brings his ship in clean and his pas
sengers healthy. The passengers were far above
the average of ordinary Storage passengers in point
Of health and attention to personal cleanliness, and
up to the fifteenth day of a passage ending in
twenty-five days, not single person had been sick
on board. On that day the thermometer fell from
600 to 42o difference of eighteen degrees in one
heavy squalls Of snow, to which many of the pas
sengers were exposed. If this change in the tenn
perature was not an attendant of all voyages across
the Atlantic at this season of the year, he would be
inclined to attribute the sickness on board to that,
but it does not seem sufficient to have caused such
sudden and great mortality.
" 1t will be seen in the letter, that thus far the
disease has been confined TO the steerage passen-
gers who came in the New York, and that no cases
have as yet reached the other parts of the Quaran-
tine establishment nor has any person been attacked
outside ofthe Quarantine walls Its to behoped that
by proper care its ravages may be confined to the
buildings in which it now prevails and that we shall
not be called on to record its presence among US.

AMERICAN THEATRE.-The inducements to visit
the American this evening are of the most attract
i've description. The performances, which are of
the very first ORDER are for the benefit of Mr. John
Greene, an excellent actor Of the old school. Mr..
Greene has now been long time before the public,
and we trust that his numerous friends will not fail
to respond to this appeal in a substantial manner.
The bin contains the Z" Hunchback,' in which Mr.
Jamison will appear as Master Waller. One of the
principal features Of the evening will be the first
appearance ON this stage of Mr.. II. p Grattan, the
Stage Manager, who is to perform the character Of
Mos, for this night only. In addition to the play
which is admirably cast, the favorite drama Of
/" Dombey and Son will be performed for the last
time, when it must give way to other attractions.
