In consequence of an Official communication

to exist at the Quarantine Ground, at Staten Island
and explaining also The nature of the disease at
your port, the authorities about tasng measures

vessels arriving from your port. One OF your city
papers last seen, announced the yellow fever ut
Staten Island, and subsequently, reported the
cholera at that place. This has had the tendency
to place New York on footing with New Orleans
In regard to health. Thus, thanksa to one of
your wise editors, the mercantile interests and the
comforts of passengers are sacrificed.

dark. There are In port seven American vessels,
and nearly all Of them have brought flour, which
quite Overstocks the market. FreIghts are merely
nominal just now, and very liule offered. One

Rosina arrived from RIO on the 23d of November,

There are but lew hides on nand, and they come
In from the interior very slowly.
All is perfectly quiet IN the province /; and from
the best Information can get from the river La

tevldeans will soon be settled, and peace may
ensue, which will perhaps last SIX months.

three miles to the eastward Of the bar, and Is
total loss. Some twenty five English vessels ara
now In port, some of which have been waiting two
months for water to Cross the bar.

The New CODE OF LEGAL PSAcTIcE.-It seems
there difficulty the Legislature in regard
to the new code of practice, which is now in mid
career In this city. Last year the commissioners
appointed for the purpose, gave portion of this
code-that in relation to practice in the civil
courts. This has been in operation about year,
and the complaints which 1t has called forth all
quarters are accommodating every day. That code
puts aside all of the old system Of practice, and at
tempts, by one stroke of the pen, to introduce a
new mode, which by no means answers the pur-
pose, but rather increases the difficulties that
marked the old one, and throws every thing into
confusion. How could it be otherwise !! A prac-
tce which required three centuries or more to
form, cannot be destroyed at once; and the crude
notions OF month or six weeks, cannot be made
to supply its place and work easily. There are
strong symptoms In the Legislature that they will
abolish the civil practice which has prevailed
here for year, and refuse to make any fur

practice which is proposed to be substituted for the

A SYNOPSIS OF
MIR. CALH0UM's ADDRESS
TO THE
PEOPLE OF THE SOUTHERN STATES.

WAsHINGroN, Jan. %. 184S
Mr. Calhouns address to the people Of the Southern
States, the subject Of slavery, is published in the
Union Of this morning, and occupies four columns Of
that paper 1t opens with history of the wrongs the
South has sustained In the obstacles thrown in the
Of reclsinpg fugitive slaves, by State legislation
in defiance Of the explicit guaranty Of the constitu
ton
Then follows history Of the asgres,ons attempted
upon the Southern institution the time Of the Mis-
souri, compromise
The address proceeds to describe the gross
and injury effected by the Wilmot proviso, and calls
the attention Of the people to other unwarrauable
which been sgitated during the prsse
session Of Congress The following is the conclusion
of the address: -
"With such . prospect before us, the gravest and
most solemn that ever claimed the attention Of .
people, the question for to consider TO- what s to BIZ
done to prevent it, 1t question belonging to you
to decide. All propose is to give you opinion
We them Of opinion that the first and indispsnsa
Bile STEP without which nothing done and with
which everything can be DONE Is union among
selves, In this great and most vital question The
want Of union and concert in reference to that has
brought the South, the Union, and system Of CO.
vernment to their present perilous condition.
elf you become united and prove yourselves in ear
nest the North will be brought to pause and that may
lead to . change Of measures and the adoption Of
course Of policy that may quietly and psaoeaby ter.

stand up immovably in defence Of rights which In
volve our properly prosperity, equality liberty and
safety As the assailed, you would stand justified by
all laws, human and divine, in repelling dangerous
blow without looking to consequences and to resort
to all means necessary for that purpose Ysur assa
ants, and not you. would DO responsible for conss-
quences.
Entertaining these opinions, earnestly entreat
to be united and for that purpose to adopt all
cessAry measures Beyond this think 1t would not
be proper to 60 at present We hope II you should
unite with anything like uDsnimity, 1t may Of itself

But II such should not be the case, the time will
