FLoATISo CorFINs.-The mortality on board
some Of the emigrant ships arriving at this port is
fearful On Sunday the packet ship Shannon,
from Liverpool. cast anchor at quarantine, and the
health officer, on boarding her. found that forty of
her steerage passengers had died the voyage OF
ship fever, and that thirty lying sick in their
bertbs Of the same disease The latter were re-
moved to the hospital. We think that some in
quiry should be made into the origin of the disease

ward passengers on board our packet ehips during
the ast three or four months Are the steerages OF
the vesscls which have come into port rcightod
with the dead and dying, well ventilated and prop

ton; and are anxious TO publish the facts. Who
will furnish them,
Within the last two days the Princeton, from
Liverpool, arrived with four hundred and forty one
passengers; the Guy Mannering, with seven hun
dred and seventy one; and the isaac Wright with
four hundred and sixty. These ships, although
carrying such a large number Of passengers, had
but little sickness during their voyages. The
America arrived yesterday morning with four hun
dred and ninety three, and reports four deaths on
the passage. The Isaac Wright had not single
case of sickness.
We should like to know whether the same pre-
cautions for the preservation Of health were used
ON board the Shannon were observed in the Isaac
wright, Princeton, and Guy Mannering. The
subject is serious one, and ought to be thoroughly

Miss Dix.

We have seen it stated in the papers thai
this most accomplished lady and devoted phi
lanthropist was dIsheartened and overwhelmed
by the unexpected defeat of the Land bill for
the benefit Of the insane in the several States,
which had been passed in the Senate, and
only failed in the House through the want
of time TO reach it in the course of business.
To this noble benefcence she has devoted
years Of unwearied labor and onerous per-
sonal sacrifces-and during the late session
had been unremitting in laying facts, gathered
by her own investigations in prisons, aims
houses and retreats of the wretched, before
the members Of Congress. She had satisfied
majority Of both Houses of the importance and
utility of her scheme; and, at the very moment
when her labors seemed about to be crowned
with success, her hopes were dashed to the
ground.
1t would not have been strange if, under
such disappointment, her accustomed steadiness
of purpose had been disturbed; yet, on visiting
the Library at the Capitol this morning, we
found her at her table, at work, with the same
tranquil energy which has excited the admira-
ton Of all who know her. Disappointed, Ger.
tainly, but not Responding, she was making
preparations to visit the prisons in Virginia.

"The series of measures to which have alluded
are regarded by me as settlement, in principle
and substance-a final settlement-of the dang ger

"By that adjustment we have been rescued from
the wide and boundless agitation that surrounded
us, and have firm distinct, and legal ground
to rest upon And the occasion, trust, will JUS
tify me IN ExHoRTINo MY coUNTRYmEN TO RALLY

tegrity Of the Union"
[PREsIDEST FILLmoRE's MESSAGE.
"The Presidents message, at the opening Of the
present session of Congress, expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion of all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration Of the Government, in regard TO what
arc called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures OF last session. That opinion is, that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
a final settlement Of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embraces that though they
. were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
system Of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be adj
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monstrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion abuse. That opinion, SO
far as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisively. The
peace of the country requires this; the security of
the Constitution requires this; and every considc
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
of the message it does not expect to stand at all'
