The Year Of postilenoo.

This has been emphatically a year Of
pestilence. The statement we published
The other day, relative 10 the devastation
of the cholera al Copenhagen, was almost
as awful as the scourge that is now deci.
mating New Orleans. 1t is an ugly lea-
lure of the chdtcra that its march this time
has been, like lis march ordinarily, from
east to west. It follows, therefore, that if
it is governed now by the same laws that
have controlled it hitherto, another vista
ton may be looked for in Great Britain
and on this continent. But meanwhile il
is hardly worth the while contemplating,
even at a distance of four thousand miles,
The approaches OF one plague while we
have another nearer home, the dreadful
havoc Of which has seldom If ever been
paralIeled, certainly never surpassed.
The yellow fever which has now SCI
up its Court Of Death in the Inflated city
of New Orleans, from all that we can
gather, is a disease Of the same type with
Mat which scoutged so terribly the eastern
coasts of South America and some of the
West India islands. Its ravages among
the shipping, as the accounts which have
come to US from time to time have, during
the summer, almost daily demonstrated,
were truly frighifuI. At the island of
Ilayli it is estimated that no less than one
hundred American officers and seamen
have died, besides a large number of the
inhabitants. At Jamaica, Demarara, An
ligua, &c. i, has been very fatal. The
West Iudia English fleet hes lost many
seamen and several valuable officers BY tie
disorder. In one case, a British steamer
(he Midway, we think lost seyenly'fiye
men. In Cuba the Cholera and yellow
fever together have carried of their thou
sands in the course of the SUMMER. On
the Coast Of South America, Rio Janriro
has been visited; the British Consul, among
others, falling a victim 10 the dreadful dis
order. At Balai also, it has been quite
fatal; bnt no where, we add. no where 50
fatal as in The devoted city Of New o.
