Desern-ose.tso.—The New Orleans Bee of the 25th
nit., Inpressas regret that strangers are venturing iuto
the ehy, which at the present moment they cannot do
with impitnity. Within one day there had been several
adidvals from sea. Amongit them one vessel brought
itiopty pitsesegers. The presence of strangers in the
city, says the Bee, will assuredly tend to keep up the
Yedlow Fever, and render its ravages more extensive
and fatal. Nineteen cases were admitted to the Hos
pitai en the 23d and 24th ults.; fourteen were dischar
ged and twenty had died. Sixty-three ramained in the
Hospital.

Yesterday on the levee. Passengers were hurrying
on board to take their departure fur other ports, or to
their bottles. Drays were climbing the hill coder the
influence of one horse power, and merchants' clerks
were moving rapidly down the landing to get their
bills of lading signed ere the boats took in the ir last
plank. And why this business appearance? Because
the stage of water in the river is good; and the water
in the channel, since the rain, has been increasing until
it nomlseri about nine feet depth between here and
Louisville."
