Yellow Fever near New York.

If it be true that persons attached to the hospital
on Staten Island, and even some soldiers on Gsv.
errors Hand, have taken the yellow fever, there
ia great reason 10 apprehcnd that it will obtain a
foothoId in the city Of New York. The quarantine
ground on Staten Island, is but eleven miles from
the city, aud Governors leland not more than a
quarter of mile. Should the same destructive
pesiiencs which desolated Norfolk last summer
visit the crowded metropolis Of the Empire State,
the consequences will be terrible TO contemplate
of the six hundred thousand inhabitants, It Is PRO
bable that at least half are without the means OF
removing, and shut up in dwellings erammed
from garnet to cellar and surrounded by filthy
streets, they will be compelled to receive the full
force of the most destructive plague ever known
We trust that these fearful apprehensons may not
be realised, and that New York may escape a
doom more horrible than the great plague of Lon.

The City Better than the Country.

New York paper is engaged in the phi'an
thropc attempt of making its city readers believe
that the city is better and moro agreeable than the
country. 1t is a benevolent purpose, and we
hope that the Can't Get Away Club" will be con-
WINGED and consoled. Any man who is able to
believe that the city is better for mon, physically
or morally. than the country, ought to be able to
believe that the weather is cool and refreshing

The 1T. Nicholas Hotel.

The New York Dry Goods Reporter gives some
interesting statstics of the ST. Nicholas, alias 49,.
Bobaiink." hotel The building cost 81 200, 600,
aud the furniture &c, 100000. 1t has front of
two hundred and seventy-fve feet and depth Of
two hundred feet. The front wall is of marble and
it's area $1,000 feet. The building will accommo.
date 900 guests, and, upon PINCH it has squeezed
in 1000. It has six hundred rooms, well lighted,
AMI providAi " ith hot and cold water The cost
of the mirrors in the house $40 900, and Of the
bilverware, &c, $4,000 The number of servants
averages during the year about three hundred and
twenty. The gas which lights the house is made
on the premises. The laundry goes by steam,
employs rs laundresses, and can wash and iron

IL IL not known whether the St. Nicholas hotel
was named after the former patron Saint of New
Amsterdam, who was a very plain aud unsophisti-
Gated old Dutchpan. the other Nicholas, who
seems, by the amount OF dsviry and crime that are
constantly going on 10 the Empire City, to be the
patron Saint of modern New York.

and which comprised the most celebrated dialogues
and incidents in the celebrated novel Without
them with great deal of ncdty, and the dark

characteristic tone to the performance. The Earl
