AN IMPORTANT FACT.
learned to-day from the principal of one of the
most extensive transportation houses, that large
proportion of those now coming to our shores from
Europe are detained by dread of cholera from pro-
ceeding westward, and remain in this city. A
very potential element of disease is thus added TO
those sources of pestilence already amongst us.

destitute, exhausted by sea voyage, and, being
precipiiated upon their poor counlrymen who are
penned up in crowded apartments, the consequent
ces are obvious.

and romp, and destroy with more bewitching aba,.-
dom than at any former season; while the gentle
men drink ncalculable quantities of brandy and
water, and cocktails, and juleps, and give way 10
all sorts of amiabe and innocent extravagances
with-a perfect looseness.' Saratoga is healthy,
and so is Newport. But after all, in the midst
Of all this fashionable folly and fashionable dissi
patton, there is mingling Of the sad and bitter.
Like the skeleton of the Egyptian feasts, figure
of dark and forbdding features s always present
amid those gay and festive scenes. You see in
the brightest faces shade of melancholy, or alarm,
