THE INHABITANTS OF CELLARS. - During the
mat week we find the following paragraphs have
been published in the papers. The first extract

aTbe prevalence Of wet weather has materially In
creased the number Of patients aud severity OF tne es
cases. particularly Of those occupying underground resi-
Ss0ces"
And the following arc from the reports Of the
late storm and its effects:
aThe prevailing is doing crest injury to poor PEG.
pie nhsbDg cellars and Easements on the porlh ,ide OF
h night Some Of the cellars were so flooded hat the
CHAIRS tables bedding cradles &c were sh0at Tne po-
Ire OF The First Ward that they had much difficulty in
saving some Of the Inhabitants Ia Washingon-sI from
drowning in their own domiciles' H., -, MI. M,
. "The Police Returns RON the FIRST ward,
ay that in Washing there were hhy base nents
urder wsier beside twenty-five In Greenwichst
In March, 1850, a census Of the Cellar Popula-
ton was taken by the direction Of the Chief OF
Police, by which it was sscertained that no less
than 10 lass persons lived in 374l cellars, without
any other rooms. The physicians tell as that
great amount Of sickness has recently existed
among the inhabitants Of these horrible abodes
and the policemen record that IS inhabited cellars
were flooded during the late storm, and that they
had "much difficulty in saving some OF the In
habitants in Washington-st from dTopnaDg In
their own domiciles." That the use of cellars as
places OF habtatiOn is a great evil is beyond the
possibility OF doubt, and to show such evils are
remeded elsewhere, we published on Satur'
day, a document which We found in the vau-
able Report of the Sanitary Commission of
the State Of Massachusetts This work is
from the pen of LEMUEL 6HATTUCK, Esq. of
Boston, and should be read by every person in
tsrested in the public health. We intreat the
attention of our City authorities to the portion
which we extracted, and beg of them to take pat
tern from their cotemporaries across the water.
