Our New York Correspondence.
NEw YoRk, July 9, 1851.

yesterday morning from Savannah, and, about
the same time, the Southerner also arrived
from Charleston.
One OF these steamers brought US large
supply Of peaches-,he first that have nTriv'
ed in New York this season. ..
We have had several scorching days.
To-day is the warmest Of the season; but
thsre has been comparatively little sickness,
this summer. We get lille scared, how>
ever, on each arrival OF a steamer from
Jamaics, where it is said, the Cholera is on
the increase.
The English papers continue to sheer at
the American contributions to the Worlds
Fair but occasionally they Inadvertently let
slip compliment TO some of our contrbu.
tors. For example, the London correspon.
dent Of the Liverpool Mercury, in one Of his
letters, says: ......

To my mind, it smacks strongly OF the
ludicrous, TO hear an Englishman whining
about "impertinent illusions" while the
London Times, Punch, and the English
Press, with scarcely an exception, are daily
violating the obligations Of national courtesy
and hospitality, by sneering at our conIribu'
tions to the Exhibition, and twlting Ameri-
cans in London on our failure.
