The FEyER-The Board of Health report 50 as
the number of deaths by yellow fever throughout the
| city for the twenty-fours ending Wednesday noon.
The fuctuation Of the figures Of the daily reports
it is said owing to irreguarty in the interments-
the reports being made up from the Sections returns

Board OF ALDERMEN.-This body is to meet this

FIRE.-There was a speck of fire in house on
Dauphine street, between St. Philip and Ursuliues,
at / o'clock yesterday morning. The damage was
trifing. A man named Noel Yillere was arrested on

ADJOURNMENT OF COURT tNro THE SrREsT.-Dur-
/
affair, yesterday, in Recorder Summers Court, (the
main particulars of which are elsewhere given) it
became necessary to take legal inspection of the
animal that all the row was about. The horse, called
pony, and ia reality a FLY, though described in one

in the court building Miss Pony was in good time
trotted off to the comfortable stable of her first lord
and master.

canine victims meet the eye everywhere in the SUI
burbs and occasionally dfuse their agreeable odors
for large distances around. The Street Commits

Commissioner and his Deputies justice the complaints
are as general thing promptly attended to. The
poisoning we believe, will stop the last night of
this month-na few nights more. One man called
at the Street Commissioners office the other day,
