HEALTH or THE CuY.-The weather continues
extremely warm, and as yet the ~ continues
to reek in noxious vapors. Every cubic inch Of
dirty water when it evaporates becomes almost a
cubic foot OF impure air. We may easily calcu-
late the amount Of unhealthy atmosphere which
is manufactured hourly in our green cutters and
stagnant pools, in the empty lots and among de-
composing vegetables. Many as are the gallons
Of air each one Of us breathes in an hour, we
have here an unfailing source of supply Of the
foulest miasma and pestilential inhalations. The
city thus kindly patronises the undertakers, by
promoting the causes which give them their bus-
ness The police yesterday arrested four poor
little boys for washing themselves in the river,
but do not interfere when they wallow about in
dirty duck ponds in the very heart OF the city.
While we believe all proper care is taken by the
State officers at the Quarantine, TO guard US
against the approach Of the yellow fever, and
place every confidence in their zeal and discrc-
ton, We on the other hand, must continue to
condemn the supineness Of our city authorities,
and their unaccountable delay in performing
their duties The nuisances we pointed out the
other day still continue. Indeed, the number Is
increasing. No remonsirances, no complaints,
appear to do any good. We see no other remedy
than the proposed committees Of vigilance. A
few days longer and 1t may be too late.

THE FILLMORE Know NoTHNGs AT THE

organ is cackling prodigiously over the Know
Nothing demonstration in the Academy Of Music
the other evening but really we cannot see that
IL amounted to anything. The only remarkable
feature in the gathering was the large proportion
Of Buchanan men in the house. cheering and en-
couraging their cbopfailen fellow sufferers of the
fag end Of the late great American party. In
deed, the sympathy between the Buchanan
democracy and the Fillmore Know Nothings. on
account Of their mutual distresses, crosses and
losses, has at length approached almost TO
brotherly love. We still suspect, however, that
all these shows and parades of the poor Know
Nothings are directed to more important object
than Mr. Fillmore. and that by and by, when
they cool down little, they will take the road
TO the Rocky Mountain ticket, with all their bag

herring TO Mr.. Fillmore they win never come

COMMERCIAL PRosrEcTs.-We see with some
apprehension that the imports are reaching an
unexampled figure. They fell but little short Of
seven millions last week, and doubtless will ave-
rage as high for several weeks during the coming
business season. This is terrible symptom.
Even If the prosperity we now enjoy were
guaranteed to last, II is extremely doubtful
whether this country could sustain an overim-
portation Of this extent. The market would
hardly fal to be glutted, and merchants CON-
