GREAT MORTALITY AMONG Tue EMIsRASTs.
1t Is estimated by Dr. Coleman, the Clerk of
the Board Of Health that one half the emigrants
who LEFT Quarantine Island two weeks ago, and
were Afterwards scattered about principally in
the snburbs of'the city, have died. The number
was between four and five hundred; and if DR..
C.'s calculation be correct and his ofiicestat
istics furnish very good means of ascertlining
the facts--we can readily account for the in
crease In our bills Of mortality in the last two
weeks. A very large proportion Of the persons
died and were buried at the charge of the city
two cemeteries alone, tho City and Rock Spring,
numbering 1872 of the 223 interments of last
week, and SO Of which were cholera cases The
names Of the persons recorded in the Office OF

To tho City Hospital, show that they were near

register Of deaths ought 10 convince The friends

A STIR AMONG THx BAEBERs.-Nine colored
BARRIERS, who, for time out of mind, have fol-
lowed the respectable business of pointing
boards and pruning caputs beneath the ST.
Charles, Varands, and other crack hotels, were
yesterday arrested and taken before Recorder
Caldwell, to answer to the charge of being in
the State in contravention to existing ordinances.
An amusing appeal was set up in their behalf
from the fact that their number tailed with
"nine tailors," who make a man; /" nine muses." /"
who make a poet; and "nine aldermen" who
constitute the present working majority in our
goodly faubourg. On this they were all admit
tel to bail, by furnishing nine bondsmen who
assured the court that the nine BARRIERS would
appear and answer to the barbarous charge
brought against them whenever required.
