THE PUBLIC HEALTH.

The deaths for last week reached the num-
Der of 4lS, being forty-ive more than the
week previous, and just double the number
OF the corresponding week last year, when
The deaths were 2o6. 1t appears from the
health report lha, 60 persons died of cholera
asphyxia, aud SO children OF cholera infan.
tum. The excessive heat OF the first part Of
the week, followed BY the sudden change to
cold and wei, has no doubt caused this acces.
sion 10 The number Of deaths. More than
one half of the deaths, 2e3, were of children
under five years Of age. Thirty-one Of the
deaths from cholera occurred in the Aims
house. Deducling these and the number Of
deaths from cholera, leaves a traction over
FIVE day.
In New York there Appeals TO be greater
increase of mortality than in this city. The
number of deaths for the week is sl7, o
ffty.siy more than The week previous. The
deaths from cholera in that city, as the repor
shows, number l47, or more than twice th'
number in this city. There are besides IS
deaths from cholera infan,um. Some alarm
appears 10 be manifested there respecting
cholera. Fear is the very beat means 70
promoting that disease. Prudence and mod

W Gross NEGLIGENcE.-The naviga-
ton at the OUTLET lock at Northumberland,
is in a miserable condition so that boats
stick fast every day. The steamer Susque-
hanna on number of occasions has helped
them off, and on Thursday worked an hour,
but in vain to move heavily loaded boat
fast on the extension wall Of the old lock.
All this could be remedied by trifling ex-
penditure.

" BREAD STuFFs.-It is now feared
that, notwithstanding the early promise of
the crops. and the fact that this year
greatly increased territory has been sown
with wheat, the yield will not he exces-
slve. Many causes, such as severe win
ter, the fly, rust; &C., have co-operated to
injure the crops, SO that the aggregate will
probably not exceed an average. In Eng
land and France untavorable weather and
unsound seed, il is said, have counteracted
the effects Of more extensive sowing. In
the south of Europe, however, an abnn-
dance la looked for. In portions oil oul
country the crops are severely injured by
the fly, and rust, while IN other sections
the yield will probably be unusually abun
dart, SO that, while very low prices may
not probably be looked for, taking al
these iacts into consideration, together will
the exhausted state Of the stocks } still, OF
the other hand, the reasonable beliefs, ,ha
a full average yield will leave no necessit,
Tor very high prices.

THE sUSBURY AND ERIE RAILROAD.

Mr.. CRANE, President Of the Vermont
Central Railroad, has, it is said, recently
been detected in fraudulent issue of 5000
shares of stock in that road. II will be
remembered that, before subscribing the
Two millions OF dollars to the Sunbury and
Erie Railroad the Philadelphia city coun-
ellis insisted upon satisfactory guarantees
that the individual subscriptions would be
carried out IN good faith. Offers deemed
satisfactory were not rapidly forthcoming,
when, TO the surprise Of many, this MIR.
Crane came forward and subscribed nearly
a million OF dollars on his own account
Councils were suspicious, and were careful
to have each inStalment o! the million
payable by the city upon this subscription
of MIR. Cranes, dependant upon the priol
payment of insalments Of Mr.. Crane. Only
the first instalment Of 10000 has been pait
by Mr.. Crane, the question, therefor, deeply
interesting at this time, is, how will thi
fraud Of Mr.. Cranes effect his ability t
meet his instruments
" The following letter from Hon
James Cooper, President Of the Sunbur,
and Erie road would seem to furnish salts
factory answers to the anxious quetie
suggested above -

A. CuMMiNGs, Editor Bulletin
Dear Sir-Under the head of "The Money
Market" in this mornings Public Ledger,
my attention has been called TO notice Of
an alleged over-issue OF Stock by Edward
Crane, Esq, President, Of the Vernon, Cen.
trail Railroad Company, and which suggests
doubt Of the ability of Mr.. Crane 10 comply
with the terms of his subscription TO The
Stock OF the Sunbury aud EIie Company
As 10 the guilt OF innocence OF MIR. Crane
II the Transaction referred TO, of course,
can know nothing but OF the payment oi
the ins,almerls, yet to become due on the
subscription made by Messrs Crane, Dillon
s. Co, 10 the Stock OF the Sunbury and Erie
Road, there can be no reasonable doubt
The payment of these instalments is no
dependent on Mr., Crane alone, but on d
number OF gentlemen OF undoubei wealth
deeply interested in the completion OF Jht
venango Road.
As 10 the security Of the city IN the matter
have only to say, that lhs Company neve
design 10 ask Tho pAymen, Of any insIalmeu
on The million subscribed by It, on The faith
OF tho subscription by Crane, Dillon & Co
until the inslalmen, due on ,hs, subscripiloi
had been fret paid.

The FATE OF MExICo.-Nearer and nearer is
Mexico drawing to the verge of revolution
1t has never recovered the effects of the last
war, and is now as demoralized as China. San
ia Anna can do nothing. Every mail brings
fresh accounts of the growing discomfort Of
the people under his sway, and the alarming
increase of disorder and disaffection on the one
side and tyranny and oppression on the other.
The defeat of the Gadsden treaty has deprived
the Dictator Of his last hope of salvation.
Like his predecessors, want of money must at last
drive him from the throne he has so often tried
unsuccessfully to consolidate. His career may
even now be regarded as closed. Anarchy and
misrule cannot last much longer. Among the
respectable citizens, we may fairly expect to
hear wish expressed before long for the peace,
order, and prosperity which can only be secured
by annexation to toe United States. Intelli-
gent Mexicans see well enough that the mistake
we made in not organizing Mexico as a terri
tory Of the United States, when we had con-
quered it, enures more to their detr;ment than
to ours By this time, had we done so, Mexico
would have been one of the most fourishing
and prosperous countries in the world; Califor-
MIA could not have compared with it. Nor, if
an opportunity Of annexing it were again to
occur, would Cuba be worth second thought
if we had to choose between the two. These
reflections are more common in Mexico than
here; but they must soon he entertained in
both countries.
