HISTORY OF THE LATE EPIDEMIC YELLOW FE-
YER IN New 0RLEANs.-We perceive that this
work attracts more attention in distant places
than it does at home. The medical journals
and newspapers of New York, Boston and the
West, contain highly fattering notices Of it.
We certainly consider it we'll worthy the atten-
tion and patronage of our Common Council, as
it contains information of vast Importance to
this community, Even though it possessed not
half the merit that is accorded by all who have
examined it, still the Council should eEinee a
disposition to encourage investigation into the
origin, nature and best means of removing the
greatest evil that besets city, and the great
est obstacle to its progress and improvement.
The Council should do as the Legislature did
purchase number of copies for distribution
amongst the people. Such service as DR.. Fem
ner has done for the public good in this work
should not go unacknowledged and unrequited.

CA1LLou ISLAND. April 18th. Il

GALLON ISLAND, April 18th, 1854. :,
Editors of the Observation-Disclosures On Friday
the 14th ult., we had severe storm, COM
mencing in the northeast and terminating in
the northwest. During the storm there fell
fakes of snow for several minutes, some three
inches square. This was seen by several per-
sons at my house on the Island. We have had
more and severer heavy gales within the last
six weeks than have ever, seen on the coast.
Several vessels have come to anchor in front of
the Island lately to repair damages done to their
rigging during the heavy weather, \ portion
Of the crew Of one of them came ashore, who
told me they had not seen the sun for seventeen
days, owing to dense fcgs. They had their
main-mast broke, sails torn, and nearly all Of
their top rigging carried away. They requested
me to report their vessel and condition; but
have forgotten the name of the vessel.
- Yours respectfully, W. S. c.

The NORTH PACIFIC EXPLORING EXPEDITION.
Some weeks ago we mentioned the arrival Of
the flag ship of this expedition, the Vincennes,
Commander Ringgold, at Sidney, New South
Wales. The Washington Union publishes the
following extract from a letter from Commander
Ringgold, dated Sydney, January s, 1854, in
which that gallant officer thus sketches the
future course of the expedition @ ~
Our course and duty hence are through the
Coral sea--the least known, perhaps, and adj
mitted to be the most intricate and dangerous.
Of any portion of the Pacific ocean. Our object
in exploring this sea is to expose its dangers,
and make clear channels for our countrymen in
their way, to China. \ *i** X *
On leaving here, shall proceed to the examinn-
alton of the route to China, scest of New Cali

Island, the reefs and isfets northward; thence
coasting along the western shores of New Gale

isle; thence severally taking up the New He

groups, passing through and examining the pas
sage formed by the isle of the tNitendi, and the
Solomon islands, and New Britannia, with the
adjacent reefs; thence. either through the

GALLON ISLAND HousE.-By referring to our
advertising columns it win be perceived that
Mr.. ". s. Campbell has opened a public house
on Gallon Island, under the above NAME This
island, ut one time the home Of the celebrated
bacanier Laftte,- is, as all know, one Of the
most agreeable summer resorts on our whole
southern coast. The bays and bayous contiguous
abound in the greatest1 variety Of fish, oysters,
shrimp, turtle, etc., while at the same time tits
margined BY one. Of the most beautiful beaches
any where to be found resembling somewhat
the renowned Lynn beach near Nahant, Mass.
The growing trade with our sister State
Texas, has rendered Gallon Island place Of
agreesble sojourn for at all times vessels may
be,seen riding The waves, going to or returning
from the westward, passing within one o. two
miles of the island. We doubt not but that Mr..
Campbell VIM be successful IN his present un-
dettaking, IN afording y the pleasure seeking
portion Of our population every conysnienee to
render q, summers sojourn at his Hotel both
pleasing and healthful. See his card.
