BALTIMORE, June 10, SIP. m.
The aggregate receipts of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, including October, 1913, and the
intervening months up to the 3lst of May, ls49, is
81, O29 ,56O,34 During the same period common
cling with October lS47, and ending with May,
l648, the aggregate receipts Of the road were
1889 045.5, showing increase of business during
the past eight months, over the corresponding
period, of $40,5l476.
1t was stated in our papers some time ago, that
strange and fatal disease had made its appearance
among the colored inmates of the Alms-house
in Baltimore county The attending physicians,
Messrs Buckler and Baxley, have published card
in which they state, that 'ths fever is highly
malignant Typhus, modified by climate, infectious
in its character, but accompanied, in large ma
jonty of cases. by intense jaundice in this respect
resembling Typhus Icterodes of systematic wri-
tiers.
1t has come TO US only in the past three weeks,
during which time forty-six cases have been ad-
mitted, and of these the very large proportion of
twenty have proved fatal; the remainder are still
under treatment.
1t has been brought alike from every section of
the city, and yet has only occurred amongst the
free blacks.
Thus far it has been much more grave amongst
males than females, owing probably to differences
of habits and occupation.
The large majority of cases have been fatal be-
tween the third and seventh day, and in some in
stances they have died few minutes after admis-
sion, and three days from Tire date Of seizure.
This disease is by means confined to the
worthless and abandoned, stated in several of
the daily papers, but has, the contrary frequent
y happened in individuals of temperate and indus
trious habits, whose means were adequate to pro-
vide them with wholesome food and sufficient cloth
ing.
The point of importance at present is its infec-
tious character. Two strong and healthy women,
residents of the house, and employed as nurses,
have taken the infection and died.
Our city still continues healthy. No case OF
cholera has yet been reported.

CITY IMPROVEMENTS.

do not recollect any season 10 which so many
improvements have been going on in Broadway as
there are at present The old City Hotel has been
nearly RACED to the ground, and is to be replaced
by a splendid block Of stores and warehouses.
All along the great thoroughfare houses are torn
down. and costly and spacious buildings for various
purposes-hotels, shops, and public halls--are
going up fast as possible. Every year New
York puts on more and more of the metropolitan
appearance. Broadway is as crowded by vehicles
and pedestrians the Strand in London, or the
Boulevardes in Paris.
ADJUSTMENTS.
Public amusements always form great feature
in the life of great city We have not had much
novelty at any Of the theatres last week. The
ballet has been the chief attraction at the Broadway
and Burton's. Augusta did not draw well at the
latter, though she is, as you know, very graceful
which she appeared, is poor affair. At Castle
Garden they have attempted public balls on the
same plan as in London and Paris, but thus far
with Indifferent success. 1t will turn out failure
and perhaps it is right that it should; for it is
species of public amusement of somewhat doubtful
propriety. great public hall, devoted to musical
entertainments of high order and at low rate of
admission, situated in the proper region Of the city,
would be most desirable thing Such an enter
prise would certainly succeed There is some talk
of an attempt of the kind. Niblo's new theatre is
rapidly rising from its foundations.

SUNDAY IN NEW YORK.


Nothing strikes European with greater sur
prise or pleasure, the may be, than the re-
mnrkable degree of order which characterzes the
metropolis of the Union on this sacred day.
All the principal streets are as quiet almost as
those Of deserted city, except when the throng-
ing crowds of church-goers proceeding to
and from the houses of prayer. Even in the lower
wards the same respect for the character Of the
day is apparent Not that the toing thousands to
whom this is the only day of recreation and re-
spite are without their outdoor enjoyments Inn
mense numbers seek the shades Of Hoboken, or
the brcezes of Staten Island the pleasant retreats
of Yorkville and Harlem. Yet there is, through
out all those groups, manifest sense of the pro-
prictcs Of the day. Hundreds Of churches, from
the splendid temple Of the fashionable Jaubourgs to
tn humble Bethes Of the mariner at the wharves,
are filed two or three times a day. OF hypocrisy,
and cant, and folly, and pretension, and worldly
show, there is, of course, enough; but yet no man
with proper feelings can doubt that Christianity is
not left without abundant witness in this mighty

The remarks Of the London journals on the the
atrica riot in this city, which have reached us the
files brought by the last steamer have of course
tracted great attention In particular, the leading
article in the Times, that subject, has afforded
fruitful subject of criticism. In some respects the
Times takes a judicious view of the case. Thus,
the London journalist quite right in his low esti-
mate Of the original cause of the sad Occurrences
quarrel between actors-and he is also sustain
ed by facts his representation of the favor with
which American actors have been received in Eng
land. But he is altogether aside of the mark when
he undertakes TO trace this sad event to contro-
versy between classes in this community, char
acterizing ii the first token Of a coming conflict,
general and fatal, between the rich and the poor in
this country, OF between what the London press
chooses to call the 'arisocracy' and the Social
democracy of the United States. This is all wad-
die. The British journalists cannot will not un-
derstand our social system II is utterly ridiculous
to talk Of ain aristocracy in America. Every body
who knows the condition and progress Of society
here is well aware that, from the very nature of
things no exclusive or aristocratic class he
tablished amongst us. The aristocrat Of to-day is
the Bowery boy Of tomorrow, and nc, versa

great Salt Lake valley after their expulsion from
Iowa, and Missouri, and Illinois, have published
their first manifesto all their brethren throughout
the world. 1t is a curious document, containing a
strange admixture of sense, cant, shrewdness, and
impiety, together with many quite interesting de-
teils respecting the region in which they have taken
up their abode They have commenced the cree
tion of a city on grand scale, which is divided into
nineteen wards consisting each Of nine blocks, each
three square They are to have a council house,
bridges, bath houses, Schools colleges, and all the
institutions of civilization A gold mine dis

gone on an exploring tour through the northern
part Of Western California. John Smith, the uncle
of Joseph, has been ordained "Patriarch Of the
