Matters and Things in New York

NkW 1OHAs OCts OOtUs lc0Fs
 In the nnids, of m exciting political canvass ;lis city has been startled by ,l,e announcement of ,hs sudden and almos, simultaneous decease of several of our prominent merchants. professional men, and other residents. by disease resem
 bling cholera. As in each instance the attack occurred immediately after the party had partaken of lunch or supper of oysters. and the symptoms were alike in all cases. it is the universal belief that some poisonous property in the shell fish was the cause of the malady. This suppcsition is confirmed by information from Baltimore, where tho oysters and crabs Of the Chesapeake seem to have proGuced similar effects. Among the citizens who have fallen victims to this strange disorder, are Edwin Williams an eminent statesman and forcible newspa. per writer; James Foster. IT,. Esq. a wealthy shipping merchant. formerly the principal proprietor of the old 'Dramatic Line" of New York and Liverpool pack. tt ships. embracing the 1" Sheridan" the Garick." the "Roscius." and the "Sid- d"ns," and better known in the fashion. able wo'ld as "Count Foster" the mu. sical dt7!s.sants; John H. Corncll. Esq. Cashier ot the Mechanics Banking Asso. citation. a most estimable map; Rober, Smith. E-q. formerly Alderman of the sth ward. and Norris H Davi's,n re- spectab'e member of the New York bar. There have also been two deaths in Or ange coanty. in cons.qnence of eating oysters and many per,ors in this cily, Brooklyn. Willismsburgh and Hoboken. have suffsred severely from cramps, and cholera morbas superin.lnced by the same cause. All the parties whose names l nave mentioned were alive and we'll SIX days ago. Most of them were elderly men. their ages ranging from tifty to sixty. Mr. Cornell was in his fifty sixth year. and Mr. Foster about the same age.
 . Somcthing akin 10 panic has as you may suppose, been created by tlis sad visitation. oystels are prosciibed .and the large and profitable city trade ia these articles is literally brought to a stand still. No more f,i:s. or s,ews. or bloils Ior dussns raw. The oyster stands are de lserted; the sacrificial knives are getting rusty the tiyalves are permitted to les. in their beds nhdislu,b bed. and thous ,nds upon thousands of the salacioas tlelicacie ies that last week would have retailed n. two dollars hundred. are now absolutely ro.,ing on the hands of their purchasers. | unds, stand tha, Mfr.

REVENUE OF THIEVES IN EsoLANn
did any OF our readers ever ask
how MUCH does thief earn2 This is
hnanc!ai problem which should re-.
celvc clear and satisfactory solution.
There are clerks, tradesmen, artists,
clergymen, officers, and journalists,
who have not as large an annual in.
come as some expert thieves. A clever
thief can always show yon some ready
cash. He gets so many bales of silk,
hampers of plate, caskeis of Jewels.
bundles Of bank notes, and ali cash
boxes full Of glittering coin, that he
cap afford to live in luxury. The az
gregate gains Of successful dep-edators
is really astounding to plodding souls,
who never trouble themselves about
the revenues Of the dishonest. But it
is high time to enquire into the matter.
We find, then, the forty four thieves
are asccrtained to have stolen money,
plate, watches. iewelra, shop goods,
and other property, amounting to more
than twenty ,,ousa' pounds; and
that during single year, the metropo-
Titan police accounted for stolen prop
erty worth forty four thousand pounds.
We need not wos.der at all this. Gen.
tlemen are so reckless Of their pocket
books, ladies' of purses, and tradesmen
OF their goods, that it is easy for a
trained thief to secure valuable booty :
and member Of the predatory class
never throws away chance of obtain
ing rich plumber, and plenty of it. We
must not omit to remind our rcaders
that large number of thefls, burgla
rIes and street r.bberies are never
punished. The plumber goes to min.
Ister to the sensual propensities of the
successful depredator, and the public
rarely get to know anything about the
amount of property taken. Some
illustration pertinent to this remark arc
known to Us. A'man confessed to us
that he drove a dozen sheep out OF
Smlthteld, and remained unpunished
In another case a woman held ur
thirty bright sovcreigns which she had
stolen. and which she was then spend
ing in the most shameless manner
and not far from where she stood is q
public house in which a person was
robbed by two thieves Of f3OO. They
are still at large. Even the potty thiel

handkerehiefs4 per day and does no,
