FEVER AT NEW-YORK Many alarming reports being in circulation ®f the yellow fe vex. raging in New-York, We think it proper to publish the following official report of the Board of Health of that city. CJFICE OF THE CF HEALTH. New-Fork, kept. £, 1805. Since the last report of the Board nothing has occured with refped to the heal h of the city, to juftifyalarm, until within three days, during which period, the Board have been aff.cluouflv em ployed, not only jn executing the precautionary powers depo fitrd in their funds, but in ob taining as aeburate an account as possible of the true hate of the marine hospital, anil four deaths. PupuUr tumour has vaflly ex aggerated the number of tales, whereby undue alarm has been excited. The Board are extre mely anx’ous 10 mprels on their fellow citizens the impropriety of l< ving credit to unauckerrfica red reports, as they mar rest as furrd that, as long as the present unfavorable (late ot the pubhc health continue*, a candid undis puifed account of the real fitiia tion of the city shall be regular ly pubhfhed. Confi ‘erable anxiety has pre vailed, rrfpeding the power cf th'“ Board to remove periods ftek of malignant fever. This low er, which has fora long time been exerciftd by the commiflioners of the Health Office, hi’s, in c very instance, been tiled with the utmost delicacy and d.6; retion. Os those patients who were citi zens it has been left entirely at their option to provide recrea s. Others, who have been removed to the Marine Hofpitai, were moflly ftrangeis, friendlcfs and without families, and have been provided with every comfort ar.d convenience. Should the disease continue to prevail, Bellevue Holpital wII be opened. The buildings belonging to this , fta- Jbhlhrr.ent have been recently re paired with conliderable improve ments, and every accommodation has been liberally provided for the lick. The parr of the city which at present af pears to be the princi pal feat of the disease, is Water and Fr nt-ftree<s, between the Fly Market and old steps. DFWITT CLINTON, PresJ. James Hakdie, Sec’ry. FRQM LONDON PAPERS. The L : ght-houfe on the HJI of Howth, on the north fide or the bay ot Dublin, is no lighted by ignited lmoke. A Steffordlhire potter has ob tained a patent for making win dow frames of earthenwate, which, he dates, will be more durable, Icis hew. and more cleanly than Metal or wood. A prize of 500 rubles has been offered by the Academy of Sci once at Peteifburg, for the bed Memoir on the lubjrft of new experiments on light, con fuiered as Matter, on the proper ties that ought to be atrihutes to it, on the affinities which it appe rs to have with other bo dies, and on the modifications and phenomena which appear in thofc iubftanccs in coni, quence of the combinations which the light forms in them.

Ttf AW Resident Lanu-Holders ts the Stale of Kentucky. FROM the number of TRACKS of LAND exposed to sale by the register for taxes, it would seem that the Non Resident land holders are either ignorar.c of our laws, or consi derably embarrassed for the want of agents, in whom confidence may be placed, and whose fitu at.en and acquaintance with bu siness wdl enable them to dis charge with promptness the du des required of them- That there are fome who for want of information of what our laws require to be done, have buffered their lands to be fold ior the tax, 1 have no doubt, and lor their information, will give a ftior ftatrment of our laws on hat lubjcd. But lam fenfiblc that rruny more have fuffered from a misplaced confidence in r.gents who could not or would not aitend to the duties required of them. Men who live at a di ftancc from Frankfort, where taxes on non-refidents’ land are paid, mull find ic more inconve nient to discharge the duties of an agent than a citizen of the town. Yet it is believed that at least nineteen twentieths of those gentlemen who a<st as agents for non-re fid' nts, live dispersed at eonfiderable diltances from this place. And to this cauk may be attributed a great part of their omiflion and negledt of duty.— For it may happen that at the time of receiving money it is ou; of their power to pay it im mediately into the Trealury, but they think it shall be done as soon as fit opportunity occurs j n the mean time fome prtfiing occasion or pleafng fpecuiation induces them to make ule of it, whit h they cannot again collect till the lands are fold. But a citizen of the town could always pay over the money on receiving it, which would often lave the costs of advertiting the lands.— And opportunities of transmit ting money to this place are inure fa fe and frequent than to molt other places in the State, as the Post from the Eastward once 1 week; besides private convey ances, which are numerous. If there should be any danger ap prehended from the mail being robbed, the Bilik Bills may be cut into two or more pieces and tranlmitted by different ports,- Thcle among other reasons which might be adduced, have induced me to believe that a person in whom confidence could be pla ced, living at this place, and ac quainted with business, who would take upon himfelfthe pay ment of taxes for Non-Residents on a moderate comm.(lion, would receive encouragement. 1 have therefore determined to offer my lervices to Non-Residents and others who may wild business of the kind done at this place, on the following terms : On being furniihed with mo ney in time, I will aitend the re fpedive offices, pay the Taxes, procure quietuses therefor, and transmit duplicates thereof to the Proprietors of the land, to the nearest poll-office where they reside, for fifty cents on each trad of land, and five per cent, on ch: amount of the tax, &cc. charged thereon. As it will be ntceffary that regular accounts should be kept of the money received and paid away by me, I prelume thele terms will not be though high. For the information of those who msy require it, 1 have sub joined the following Ilatement and certificate. —By the present laws of Kentucky, Non-Ktfidents who claim lands within the fame, are compelled to enter their lands for taxation with the Au ditor of Public Accounts, before the lit day of OdoOer, 1806, or luch claims will become forfeited to the (late. I he entries mult pekribe if poffule the situation and quality of tne land, in whose name it was entered, surveyed and patented*. The Tax laid ou their lands becomes due on the’ ill day jfFebruary, annually, and if not paid by the iff dayoi October following, carries inte relt from that time rill paid, at ten per cent; per annum. The Auditor is diredtedto tranfmicto the Register a lift of such lands as are not paid on (and this he commonly does by the firft day of may annually) and the Regis ter is required to have the fame published three months in the paper of the public printer, before the firft Monday in Novem ber, at which time the sales of luch lands commence, and con tinue from day to day at the door of the State-House, till all are fold that ire not paid on.— Thecoft of advertising is charg ed to ’he proprietor of the land and added to the tax. The lands vhus fold cannot be redeemed without the consent of the pur chaser. Achilles Sneed. Frankfort, Kentuky, July 20, 1805. WE, the Subscribers, being informed by Achilles Sneed, Clerk of the Court of Appeals and resident of the town of Frank fort, and that he wishes to be em ployed on commifiion by Non- RefUenis who claim land in Kentucky, to pay their taxes for them : do hereby certify that our acquaintance with said Sneed induces us to believe that he will transadt such business with ftridf integrity and pundtuality, and will give complete fatisfaftion to all who employ him.
