Considerable anxiety exists among por-
ton OF our community lest the arrival OF the
three ships last week from Tahiti, should be
the occasion o! injecting this people with the
SlnalI PoX. To relieve all unnecessary tear
upon that subject we would state that they
all bronght clean bills of health, aud It Is tie
opinion of tie phy sicans in charge, that
there is no danger Of contagion from them
Still every cXe'tinn should be made to arrest
the disease before Icachi g these shores,
aud we trust there will be no relaxation Of
the rigor of the quarantine laws in favor Of
any suspected vessels. Notwithstanding the


fatality which attends it at Tahiti, whale
ships continued t" flock ia there for supplies,
and it is possible that some after receiving
the disease on board may venture this way.
A sharp LOOK ont should be kept for ihcm, it
we wish to avoid the spectacle Of sickness
and death which is now spreading dcsoIation
over Tahiti. Notwithstanding every pre-
caution, it is hardly possible to believe that
these islands will rcnain exempt much lou-
ger, and We would counsel all to undergo
vaccination without delay, and also use their
endeavors to introduce it among the native
principally to the native population, though
some who had been ON board the Don QuiX-
ote had been attacked, whether fatally or
not, we do not learn. A letter rom Papcite
states the deaths in ncighboring village at
seven to eight daily. While the William
Gray remained at anchor, upon every fatal
termination on shore, a gun was fired, and
the house of the deceased burnt. The re-
ports and smokes, were frequent night and
day.
