The committee appointed to investigate the affairs
of the New Haven Canal Railroad Company, report
that the old capital Of the company $4,000 shares
at S25 each, amounting to 100000 There was of
capital paid in to the 1st of July last S3i625o,
making n total Of sG46 $50 About SIS 600 of the new
capital has it is estimated been expended in the ex
tension of the road beyond Plainfeld The cost of
the work in progress to connect the road with the
New York and New Haven line will not exceed $685.,
OOo SO that the capital will meet the entire cost Of the
road to Plainville, twenty eight miles, being about
twenty.three thousand dollars per mile. The earn
;ngs of the road for six months ending July 81,
amounted to $27,153 II, of which S5,s76 20
ceiyed in July The receipts for the first seventeen
days in August greater than during the cores
ponding period in July, and as soon as the road is
completed tide water the receipts will show hand
some increase. The earnings for July, taken as an
average for the six months then commencing, will,
after paying expenses, give semi annual dividend Of
three per cent the whole cost of the road
That more than this will be realized is beyond a
nectcut by this road will be attracted to this CITY, by
the New York and New Haven road. Its extension to
Colinsvie and so on through the centre Of Connec-

HEALTH OF New ORLEANsNThere is good
deal OF talk about town, and also in the neighbor-
ing cities and watering places, relative to the ath
OF New Orleans, and we deem proper 10 state tor
the information of those who absent, that thus
far there is no appearance of an epidemic: Never
theless, it would be, we think, an act OF extreme
imprudence and folly for any unacclimated person
to venture to come hiher until 1t is ascertained,
beyond doubt that there will be no sickness OF
consequence Whether the cases OF fever which:
within three or four days past, have been reported
in the streets as yellow fever, be the real yellow
pest or not one thing is certain, that parties have
been taken sick in a similar manner, and have
suffered the like pans those endured during the
course of that disease. II is true that the very dis
agreeable and unhealthy weather which for
length of time we have had, damp and chilly
nights, and frequently a north wind,) may be the
cause of good deal of the sickness prevailing in
the city, and these very causes may be productive
of high bilious, or even yellow fever Some few of
cur physicians say that they have cases OF yellow
fever their private practice; but none seem to re-
gard them as other than sporadic cases. few
weeks, now, must decide The matter, during which
time we would earnestly recommend our friends
who are not acclimated to stay away from the
city. as its general health IS not satisfactory as
we had hoped for; and various complaints, orlgl-
mating principally from colds. are quite prevalent.

The bulk of the shipments in August was to Valpa-
raise. The manufacturers Of New England have found
extensive markets this year for their fabrics in foreign
countries but whether they have proved profitable
not, is a matter best known to themselves. The ship
ments, thus far, this season. have been in quantity
thirty three and third per cent greater than for the
time last year; but the value has probably been
much smaller in proportion. The Eastern importers
have made this year large shipments on their own
counts the absence Of orders, and the determine
ton they arrived at to clear out all their stocks
of goods at whatever sacrifice necessary the wiscst
one they have made for long time. The large auc-
ton sales of domestic dry goods recently made in this
CITY, cleared out the stocks of many companies, and
gives them an opportunity to commence anew, with
the raw material ruling at very low prices. They
came to the conclusion that it well to submit to
the losses first last, and they have boldly met the
sacrifice. trr aa6
