VjiT The Ohio River and its tributaries, and the Mississippi River, above the mouth of the Ohio, are generally too low to be navigated by the largest class of boats, except for a lew-trips in the Spring of the year, and even then after passing the dangers of shoals, snags, rocks, etc., above the mouth of tlie Ohio River, boats generally need more freight at * Iii -point to finish out their cargo, and are willing to take it at a low price from here to New Orleans. So that it will be seen that, during high water, freight can always he shipped from Ohio City to New Orleans at low prices, and, during low stages of water, in all the rivers above the mouth of the Ohio, flic largest class of 1 »oats are obliged to leave Hieir regular trade, and run from some point not above the mouth ol the < Miio River to New < irleans—there being generally not more than four months out ot the twelve in which the largest class of steamboats can be employed above this point with any thing like a full freight, and consequently arc obliged to lay up the most of the season, or run from this point to New Or­lens. It follows that from < MiioCity they can afford to carry freight at extremely low prices. Freights at present undergo from one to three unnecessary shipments—the freight in some instances becoming damaged from five to ten per cent, by handling, and the cost of getting the same to market amounts in some instances to double what it should do. We believe that, by the producer shipping direct to Ohio City, and from there to New Orleans, there will be a saving in freight ot at least 33 S per cent, in geitim.' the same to market. Fwight can be stored iu warehouses at Ohio City, (when not needed lor immediate shipment.) tor at most one-halt the cost ot storing and shipping m the cities above the month. A Railway will be constructed from the Wliarl boat tothe warehouses on the bank to convey the property intended to be stored, so that it cannot possibly be soiled or damaged—and when once stored at < )hio City, it « an there remain until a suitable market oi­lers in some of the Atlantic Cities—there being no danger ol ice low water, or anv thing else preventing shipments from that point at all times, to meet any contract of sale.

Advances tail be obtained on a warehouse receipt, in any of the cities above the mouth, more readily than if the prop-ertv was in hand, it being a point where it is always availa­ble^—or parties can s«-ll the same in any ol the Atlantic Cities (by means of telegraph) in a lew hours, it the market should justify it, and they can contract to deliver the same at a given time, with certainty of reaching the market from this point.

Parties shipping in the Fall, with a view to get out their Produce previous to the upper rivers being obstructed by ice or from any other cause, will find it for their interest to store the same at this point, and to avail themselves of the advance iu New Orleans, which geneially occurs on the closing ol navigation above the mouth ot the Ohio, thereby resemng to themselves the power of sending it forward at a suitable time, and having it >o!d on arrival, saving the heavy charges m New Orleans of Storage, Dra yage, etc. .

The simple fact of so much freight from all points above the mouth of the Ohio lieing «-shipped and lightened out to tins place for reshipment. should prove conclusively to all per­sons that it is the natural and proper point of shipment.

The Missouri Riveris even year getting worse and more dangerous to navigate; aud it is thought that the only proper means ol' getting Produce fiom that rich aud fertile pari ot the State will be by means of a Railroad, which is now in contemplation from Lexington to Ohio < ity ; but, when boats can ran at alÉ»n the Missouri River, the great advan­tage of running direct to Ohio City w ill :«t once be >e» n.

Ohio City is on high ground, entirely above all overflow, and beautifully situated. At present the steamboat ( onvov. and several other large boats, are running regularly from this place to New < Means, and w ill continue to keep up a regular line be!ween the two places. A line of boats is about to be established to run from Ohio City to Pittsburg and all the in­termediate points, and also from Ohio City to Galena, and to Peru, on the Illinois River, and also to Lexington, on the Mis* R\\

Merchants residing above the mouth of the < Miio w'ill. gen­erally, make a great saving in the price of freights, ami in the time of receiving their goods, by ordering them shipf»cd from New Orleans to Ohio City, and from thence they can be put on boats that will deliver the same at their place ot destination without delay.

Air—"St. Patrick's Day in the Morning." I.

Ye offsprings of Seth—of the ancient belief-Old Gama's true sons by adoption—

These lines, most sincere, 1 commit to your care. For perusal and likewise instruction.

Concerning that great and apostolic man. The glorious St. Patrick, you may understand ! lie lias banished idolatry out of our land, And made Erin to blaze with true zeal and devotion-Made Religion to smile with its greatest emotion. And left her the happiest isle on the ocean.

On St. Patrick's Day in the morning ! It.

When he came to our shore, our land was spread o'er By witchcraft and dark necromancy—

Deluged, I may say, with such gross, evil way As was pleasing to Beelzebub's fancy !

But this champion of Christ did all magic expel. And those imps of perdition did quickly repel— Their worships he stopped, and their idols then fell ! So our Saviour's blest name became praised through the

nation— The < 'ross was soon raised in profound veneration, Aud Erin complied with the terms of salvation.

On St, Patrick's day in the morning I III.

St. Patrick did smile to see that bright isle All Hock to his glorious standard :

The multitude's cries penetrated the skies, All praising their holy Commander !—

From the poor to the peasant and prince—I declare. To the lout of baptism we all did repair ! Our saint nobly freed ns from Satan's foul snare. And lie showed us the path that doth lead to Mount 7.ion, The way we should live, and the faith we should die in— And no one is lost who is patronized by him,

Ou St. Patrick's Day in the iiioruing ! IV.

The blessed divine !—he did always incline To fulfil the great Will of his Master,

And a numerous train did of clergy ordaiu, 1 n succession to rule ever after ;

By his holy exertions aud sanctified will, The truths of the Gospel did purely distil. And made old Eriu shine like a torch on a hill ! Aud that land, that had long been iu Lueiler's fetters. Was soon styled the Island of Saints aud of Letters— And for learning proud Britons tôlier have been debtors,

Ou St. Patrick's Day in the morning !

V. Our nation, lieiug crowned with perfection all around,

St. Patrick gave thanks to his Maker, Who did him inspire with such ardent desire .

For the spiritual welfare of Iiis creatures ; Being impaired with fatigue aud great labor, it's tme, (Iiis age wasacentury and twenty-two,) I >n the seventeenth of March bade us final adieu. And his sotii took its flight to the mansions of glory, Leaving Fame to emblazon, in eloquent story, How he ridded old Erin of Pagan and Tory,

On St. Patrick's Day in the morning ! .

YI. Now we come to the end of these few lines I 've penned

I In blessed St. Patrick, remember— lluw the iieople did stand for their faith in that laud.

Though distressed like the birds in December ! It is now—or it's very near—three hundred years, I lur Church we 'vesupported through troubles and fears ; We have stood by a doctrine he planted so dear :

— But iu spite of seduction, oppression and killing, To this present day there remain seven million, Who, to fight tor Repeal, are all ready and willing,

< )II St. Patrick's Day in the morning !

From the NewOrleans Medical Review for March. Health of the City.

Sitire our last issue but little has transpired in the medical world to interest either our city or coun­try readers. The winter thus far has been unusu­ally mild, and the changes have been so fçradtial as to induce but little serious disease. As usual during the winter season, our city has been visited by sporadic cases of Scarlatina ; in some instances it proved fatal in a few hours after the attack ; again, it was so mild as to attract but little atten­tion, and required scarcely any medication. Never­theless, in certain localities it proved to I«: quite un­manageable, and avone period excited considerable alarm among the timid.

Recently the disease seems in the decline, and now we hear bi(t little said on the subject. A few cases of variola have been reported from time to time during the winter, and we learn that the cases are increasing in different parts of the city. Vac­cination, lhat invaluable discovery, has, however, robbed tliis disease of more than half its terrors. This preventive is too much neglected by the poor, and we think it llie duty of the city authorities to look to this matter—to compel the careless and ig­norant to submit to vaccination, and thus limit the extension of this loathsome disease. Another dis­ease has been introduced into our city during the fall and winter, which has excited considerable ap­prehension in the public mind—we allude to the Ship, Typhoid or Typhus Fever, (we give the reader choice of names,) which develop«« itself among the Irish immigrants during their voyage across the Atlantic. Several British ships have recently ar­rived iri the Mississippi River with hundreds of poor immigrants tin board in a deplorable condition. Those who escaped (and there were few) the Ship Fever, suffered for want of proper food and good water, and when they reached our Levee they were much reduced and many of them utterly prostrated.

This disease—Ship Fever—is produced by crowd­ing two or three hundred steerage passengers into a small space, where filth and debris of every kind —where the exhalations from these half-starved crer'ttres are allowed to accumulate, thus creating a focus of infection, from which the poison extends to all who breathe an atmosphere thus contamina­ted ; heut«, the disease often assails even the cabin passengers, as we recently witnessed, although less crowded, better nourished and better provided with all the comforts anil conveniences fora sea-voyage.

We regard want of jiersoiuil cleanliness, together with a short allowance of provisions, arid of bud quality, two conditions highly favorable for the generation of this disease. Ilence removal into a pure atmosphere, cold ablutions, fresh provision, and but little medication will suffice to restore the great majority of these cases to health.

So great has been the influx of immigrants this winter afflicled with Ship Fever, that the Charity Hospital now contains over KXX) sick, about 800 of whom are afflicted with Ship or Typhoid Fever. In some instances the disease has been communicated to tlie nurses, students, physicians and other attend­ants ; this has not beert of very frequent occur­rence, and it seems to uflect those only w ho ate rather predisposed to low forms of fever, and who are long and frequently exposed to the exciting causes of the disease. The crowded state of the Hospital, and the consequent deplorable condition of its inmates, have at length aroused the attention of both the legislature, now in session, and the City authorities. By the former body, a Committee was recently appointed to examine into and report upon the condition of the sick at the Hospital. The report was made to that body, in which it was ad-vised to establish a branch of the Hospital in the suburbs of the city, where the sick immigrant, in reaching our shores, should be received and treated.

Acting upon this suggestion, Mayor Grossman recommended the Councils of the three Municipali­ties, and the Board of Health, to ap(<oint Com­mittees, wlio should confer together upon the sub­ject, and devise some measures for the disposal and accommodation, out of the limits of the city, of those arriving here afflicted with Ship lever or other infectious diseases. The result of this con­ference is not yet known.

We think the remedy for all these evils very sim­ple. let the City authorities lease or construct cheap and commodious buildings in the Iqjver part of the Third Municipality, nearly opposite Slaugh­ter-house Point; compel all vessels with sick immi­grants on board to anchor off this Point, transport the sick to this teinjxirarv Hospital, and detain the vessel until she shall be cleansed, fumigated with some disinfectant, and otherwise purified to the satisfaction of the boarding officer. This building could at the same time receive many from the f Miar-ity Hospital, and thus diminish materially the crowded state of that great institution. Charity to those already in the Hospital, as well as to those who may he doomed to apply there for relief, de­mands of the proper authorities some such plan to ameliorate this condition. The mode already sug­gested will be an important step in this matter—and if tlus or something similar is adopted, no fear need

lie entertained that the Ship Fever will spread through the city and liecome an epidemic. Remove these foci of infection, created by crowding a large number of sick together, lieyond the thoroughfares of the city, and our citizens will remain exsmpt from fever.

The disease, as found in our Hospitals, is not ma­lignant or unmanageable: in many cases cleanli­ness, pure air, an appropriate diet, with general attention to the hygienic condition of the patients, are all that is required to establish convalescence.

Since the memorable epidemic of 1847, our city authorities and citizens generally, with a fractional part of the profession, have advocated the necessity of adopting quarantine regulations for the city of New Orleans. With this view, several bills have been presented to the Legislature, asking for au­thority to enforce quarantine.

We can only say that these propositions have already received the courteous attention of our rep­resentatives, and we doubt not that many will ad­vocate and vote for the measure.

Aware of the wishes of our citizens, and anxious to do every thing to promote public health, a Com­mittee from the Board of Health recently petitioned the legislature to grant power to that body to es­tablish quarantine regulations, whenever such should be deemed necessary for the public security by the Board. What* will lie the final action of our legislature on this important subject it is impossi­ble to predict.

Although somewhat skeptical in this subject, yet we are willing to have the quarantine system en­forced until experience shall decide for or against it. It will have more than one good effect, viz. it w ill inspire the public mind with confidence in the sanitary condition of the city, encourage families u< remain here the greatar part of the year, deter cap tains of ships from bringing vessels into our ports infected with disease and loaded with pestilence and death—these are a few of the beneficial effects that w ill How from a pro|ier and rigidly enforced quarantine.

Mr. Clay in New York. It seems that no change was made in the time of

Mr. Clay's arrival in New York—Tuesday, the 7th, early in the afternoon ; and (having left Philadel­phia at 9 A. M.) he accordingly landed at Castle Garden alxitit half past 1 o'clock. His reception, it is stated, absorbed, during the morning, and even the previous day, the attention of the whole city, and business, to a great extent, was suspended. Ile landed at Castle Garden amid the firing of cannon and the shouts of the thousand* w ho had assembled on the Hatte ry to greet him. He was received by Mayor Brady, who, in a liecoming manner, ten­dered him the hospitalities of the city. Mr. CI ty replied brielly but feelingly ; said he wits much fatigued—a truth his general demeanor amply indi­cated. On the way from A m bo y to New York, he made quite a long speech in reply to Morris Frank­lin, who welcomed him in the name of the city. The following is an alistract of Mr. C's remarks :

Gentlemen of the Common Council of New York and Mr. Chairman : I thank you for the sentiments you have uttered, but 1 cannot find language to convey to you w hat 1 feel at this moment. If I had any pretensions to eloquence or elocution, it cannot lie expected on this occasion, for two reasons: One is that my heart is full, and the other is that the subject is myself. If men have any power of public, speaking, they sltoold exert it, not for themselves, but the good of their country. For the friendly spirit in which you have so elouuently greeted ine on this my visit, I fervently thank you.

You have rightly said that this visit was not in accordance with my own views, desirous as I ever am of meeting my friends in New York. I left my residence purely on account of private and pro­fessional business, which required my presence at Washington and Philadelphia, and it was my desire to confine myself exclusively to that business.

But when I recollected the obligations I was under to my fellow citizens and friends in your great city, and the pleasure I have always had when in former days I visited you; when I heard that with a noble hospitality, and true to the im­pulses of their generous nature, they had buried all party feeling, and had blended all distinctions in one common desire that I should again visit them, I could not refuse the summons of your Common Council. It seemed to me that I ought to reject the cold and cautious calculations of the head, and meet with a ready response the generous sympathies of their hearts.

I hope, gentlemen, to have frequent opportuni­ties of seeing you and conversing with you during my brief sojourn among you, and I trust, therefore, that you will excuse me for turning from you for one moment to thank the Philadelphia committee for their manifestations to me, not only on my entry into their city, but during my stay and to the pre­sent moment. Their chairman has not too elo­quently depicted the circumstances of my entry into Philadelphia.

I have several times in my life had occasion to be thankful for the friendship, the affectionate at­tachment evinced toward me by my friends at Philadelphia. But never have 1 had such proofs of love and attachment shown to me as during my last visit. It seemed to me as if the whole city, all tlie houses, had discharged themselves of their population to greet ine during my short slay among them.

For such manifestations of hospitality, such touching testimonials of esteem and regard, were offered me as I never lie fore received. And this, not from one party, but from all, without distinc­tion of party ; not from one sex, but from both : from all ages and classes, and I had almost said from all colors. (Laughter.)

Gentlemen, carry back to my friends in your »pleasant city my thanks to you, to them, to your whole population, for their demonstrations, and tell them

[Here was a warning that the floor was in dan­ger of giving way, and the company were request­ed to stand back and spread themselves over a greater surface.] Mr. (.'lay, mistaking the cause, playfully remarked that he did not want them to do so, he liked to have his friends as close to him as possible. (Laughter and cheers.)

Tell them that wliile a single drop of blood cir­culates in my heart, I shall recollect with profound gratitude their proofs of affectionate attachment. My visit to their city constitutes an epoch, a bright, cheering, glorious epoch, in rny life, and never, while I continue to live, shall I cease to be grate­ful for all these and former proofs of their attach­ment and kindnesss.

I said, sir, the occasion was one—(here another interruption prevented our catching the sentence) •—and I have now only again to express my joy at seeing my friends from New York. I should like to make a compromise with them, that I »hall shake their hands instead of their shaking niiue. daughter and repeated cheering.)

DC?- Demonstrations, most cordial, were made to Mr. ('lay, at the various towns along the route from Philadelphia to New York, on Tuesday, 7th instant.

FROM CENTRAL AMERICA—WAR WITH ENG­LAND.—By the schooner Nile, Capt. Hampton, w hich arrived at New York on the 7th inst., papers from Honduras to the 12th ult. have been received. The Gazette of the 5th publishes an energetic pro­test by President I.inclo, of Honduras, on behalf of the Central American States against the occu­pation of their territory by the English squadron in the service of the Mosquito King. Reinforce­ments were daily expected from Jamaica to liberate the English officers who had been captured by the Centrul Americans, and to retake the fort and gar­rison at the mouth of the river San Juan de Nica­ragua. A rival to the Mosquito King has appeared in the person of his sister, who claims the throne. She offers six hundred troops to Nicaragua, to aid in enforcing her claims to the territory, against the pretensions of her brother and the English. The country in dispute commands the most important route for a canal between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, of which England desires the exclusive control, although gstensibly defending the clairon of the native Judiaiu».
