EXAGGERATED and injurious reports having
IL obtained currency in the country, concerning
the prevalence of Cholera in Boston, think il due
to the cause of TRUTH and the business interests of
the city, to counteract the evil tendency of such
rumors by statement of facts.
The first case of death by malignant cholera in
Boston, during the present year, occurred on the
Sd day Of June last. From that time to the 18th
inst, (six weeks there have been 80 deaths in the
city by that disease, and more All Of them but
four have taken place among the emigrant popu-
lation in the least salubrious localities, and nearly
all have been superinduced by palpable indiscre-
tons in diet, or intemperance. In almost every
case the prenonitory symptoms have been utterly
disregarded by the patient, and the physician has
not been called until his skill could be Of avail
Notwithstanding the extraordinary influx Of for
eigners (about 5000 having arrived at this port
since the beginning Of the Year, and the increase
Of population from other causes the mortality has
not essentially increased Between the first day of
June and the 18th of July of last year, the deaths
in Boston amounted 70 499. During the correspond
ing period of the existing season, the number Of
deaths, including those by cholera, has been sos.
The proportion of deaths TO the population of
Boston, thus far, during the summer, has not been
greater than the mortality Of healthy country
towns although the city, in its throngs of disabled
Mariners destitute strangers and reckless and dis
solute persons from every clme has prolific
Of mortality, from which smaller communities are
happily exempt.
The city has been thoroughly ceansed-includ-
ing yards and cellars. The offal is daily collected
from the houses and removed from town. No de-
caying animal or vegetable matter is TO be in
our streets, which, with dwellings, are drained
under ground The strong and deep tides which
encircle ms prevent the accumulation Of noxious
substances upon our shores are amply sup
piled with excellent water, from an unfailing
source police prompt to remove or rem
edy whatever nuisanccs may occur and in all re-
spects we POSSESSES arrangements and advantages
for the preservation Of health equal TO those Of any
village or city in the world.
New cases Of this disease may from time 10
time occur, but they should not occasion more
alarm than any other monitions Of mortality and
there is every reason 10 believe, that by rigorous
enforcement Of sanitary regulations and measures,
on the part Of the Government, aided by the CO
operation Of the people, in regard TO personal and
household cleanliness and regimen, Our city will
this year exhibit as remarkable exemption from
the ravsges Of cholera at the period of the former
visitation of that pestilence.

Mr.. HENRY DRArroN.-We had occasion some
weeks since to refer to the brilliant promise of this
young American as a vocalist. The following is a
translation of portion of an article devoted to him,
in La Gazette a Revue des Theatres de Paris showing
that he yet commands attention.
M. Drayton possesses a remarkable physiogno-
my, fine features, distinguished education, a
thorough knowledge of music, and n voice which,
every year, will obtain more strength and better
quality M. ID. is basso singer, whose voice goes
from the ia above the lines down TO the mi fat, with
the greatest facility. The lower notes are princi-
pay powerful and resounding. He has appeared
in the rote of the Cardinal OF LA Juive, !" Maral
of the "Huguenots," and Bertram of "Robert lie
Diabe."

American bark Leonesa (thc only American vessel

lucky If she escapes the bockading squadron. The

other three, the Barbarossa, Hamburg, and Luz

United States is still at Liverpool.
We are not visited in such numbers as at first

men in such comfortable circumstances that
they should have been ashamed to ask for u
post which can be Of little account to them,
yet might have afforded decent living to
some widow and her babes-some luckless
loser of limb or its use-some poor unior-
tunate neighbor, perhaps too modest to ask
and yet most worthy to receive. Rich mer-
chants ndpopular lawyers have not scrupled
thus to take the bre ad out Of the mouth Of
honest poverty. Some have obtained APP
pointments by the low swindle Of concealng
that they were candidates from all but se-
lect lew and operating through some distin-
guished man living at distance, when they
knew all the while that in fair and open
canvass they must have been beaten. And
many have procured appointments when a
majority OF their own party would have great
ly preferred to let the office remain in the
hands Of the old incumbent. All these are
facts Of painful notoriety in well-iniormed
