In New York, the disease is spreading beyond the infected district, prompting panic, evacuations from lower areas like Broadway to Pearl Street, and relocations of the Custom-house, banks, and residents to Greenwich and upper Broadway. Two cases in Mr. Taylor's family resulted in Mrs. Taylor's death; Mr. Brown was found dead after staying behind.

The alarm has increased considerably within three days, and there is no doubt remaining that the disease is gradually extending itself beyond what has been considered the infected district. Many of the inhabitants from Broadway, and between that and Pearl street have already removed. The Custom-house removes to Greenwich to-day, and the Banks and Insurance Offices have provided themselves with places in the upper part of the city.
[Statesman.
Since the occurrence of one or two cases of sickness, to the eastward of Broadway, which could not be satisfactorily traced to the vicinity of Rector street; a panic has prevailed in the lower part of the city, which it appears will not be allayed; and a general movement is taking place from the principal part of the district on the east of Broadway, and south of Maiden lane. The district on the west of Broadway, south of Courtland, is already abandoned by the inhabitants.—These districts include a large portion of the business population, which will locate in Greenwich and the upper part of Broadway, where they will no doubt be followed by many merchants to the northward of Maiden lane. It is expected they will generally be re-established in the early part of the ensuing week in wholesome situations, where they can be visited by their country friends without fear.
A committee of the Banks in Wall-st, have just risen, and postponed the question of removal until Monday. [Mer Adv.
We are sorry to learn that two of Mr. Taylor's family, who removed from 111 Greenwich street, between Rector and Thames streets, a few days since, are sick at Tappan. They remained four or five days in the infected district after it was fenced up, and did not remove until Mrs. Taylor was taken down with the fever, who has since died.
Mr. Brown, who resided in Lumber-st. and kept a livery stable, was found dead in his house this morning. His family removed some days since, and Mr. Brown remained behind to take care of his business. At what time he sickened, or when he died, cannot be ascertained. Like many others he bid defiance to the disease which prevailed in the neighborhood, and has paid for his temerity with his life.
