Several new cases of cholera on board the steamer Atalanta, atthe New York quarantine, are reported by the physician in charge, but the disease is ‘still confined to the steerage; none of the cabin passengers having yet ued attacked. The Governor of New Jersey has issued a prociamatioa calling on the munici- palities and individuals to look after their eanitary condition. B. W. Greene, late president of the Con- necticut Insurance Company, in afitof in- sanity, Sunday night, cu; his wife's throat with a razor, causing her death ina few mo- ments.

Despatches from Toronw, Canada, deny the reports of excitement there from fears of the Fenians. THE CHOLERA AT NEW YORK. More Cases on the Atlania—Despatch from the Secretary of the Treasury. The New York Eyening E£zpress of the 6th, says: Since our last report several new cases of cholera have broken out on board the Atalan- d the sufferers are now under treatment. t, however, need not create any alarm, as the disence is till confined to the steamer in the Lower Bay. Tha efforts now making to prevent the epidemic appearing in this city, it is believed will be successiul, As the season is becoming colder, the plague will be as much intercepted by the approaching frost, as by the eanitary regulations now being made to keep itaway. The Evening Post of yesterday says: The Secretary of the Treasury sent a tele- gram to Senator E. D. Morgan, in this eity to- day, directing thatif the Health Commissioners of New York desire it, any blockade-runner in charge of Commodore Liell, of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, should be placed at their dispo- sal for the bbl maa of taking on board perso! who come to this port in any vessel or vesse! that may bring cases of cholera. Mayor Gun- ther, to whom the subject was referred, has written an order to the commander of the Navy Yard, anda vessel isto be despatched to the lower quarantine as soon as possible. The passengers of the steamship Atalanta, who have not yet been attacked by cholera, will be taken on board this vessel. The cholera pa- tients are already, it is understood, on the floating hospital, the Falcon; and any persons amongst the number are given quarters on the blockade-runner, ‘and those who become sick will also go on board the hospital ship. The Atalanta will thep remain in charge of the Health authorities; her baggage and ber cargo will be fumigated, and the time when she will be allowed to come to the city, if atall, is yet to be decided. The passengers who have been exposed to the epidemic will be detained at uarantine, until more than seventeen daye— the time allowed for the development of chole- ra after exposure—shall have elapsed. The passengers of the steamship Europe, who haye so urgently protested against their confinement at quarantine, are to be permitted to come to this city to-night under the orders of the Mayor, given after consultation with the health officer and resident physician. They have been more than seventeen days on the way from Hayre, and no cases of disease haye occurred on board. The vessel will then be famigated, so that the baggage, which was packed in Paris, will contain none of the infection ef cholera, and the vessel will come to this city to-morrow. Dr. Walser made a report yesterday in regard to the cholera patients of the Atalanta under his charge. There had been eleven more cases, and one person had died. The physician, also wrote to Howland & Aspinwall, the consignees of the Atalanta, eaying he thought all had been done for the bocleedipesged paper that circumstances ad- mitted of. ie added that the disease was of a mild type, though the present state of the oun might affect its character uafavor- a . The snbject of the ee of cholera has engaged the attention of the national authori- ties. The acting Surgeon General wrote tothe Secretary of State in October, recommending that be call the attention of the Governors of the respective States to the spread of the chol- erain Europe, witha view of preventing the introduction of the disease into this country. Some of the Governors of seaboard States to whom the intelligence sent hither by our con- suls from the Mediterranean ports was com- municated, took early action by recommending sanitary reforms, and Mi 2a measures for preventing the ravages of the disease. A PHoXoGRarHIC CorpyRiGnt Svuit—An interesting suit, relative to property in phono- graphic publication, has m argued in the Cireuit urt of the United States for the Southern District of Ohio. The style of the case is A. J. Graham against Benn Pitman. The phonographic art was invented in 184) by Mr. Ieanc Pitman, of Bath, England. It was shown that Mr. Benn Pitman, the de- fendant in this case, though laying no special claim to invention, assisted his brother in experimenting, and that he has been intimately connected with the promulgation of pho- nography. In 1851 improvements were sug- gested; and in 1802 nm Pitman, at the suggestion of his brother, came to this coun- try to engage in the issuing of phono- Sens Pemcaiioas in the United States; bat not until 1856 were these improvements so far completed as to warrant their incorporation into the system. In 1856 Isaac Pitman deter- mined upon introducing them in the elemen- tary instruction books, and sent a copy to his brother, Benn Pitman; and afterward another on. to Fowler & Wells, of New York, in whose employ the complainant then was. Mr. Graham’s original claim was that he was the originator and inventor of these improvements, but the voluminous testimony upon this point ‘bas led him to abandon that claim, and he now sues upon the claim that he was the first to embody them in an instruction book. The case was referred to a Masi spel ter to report upon the —<_<_,____ Frinanctar.—The N. Y. Commercial o the 6th says that in the stock market, speculation is growing rampant.

Before a bill was passed to expend thie large amount of money, it snonld be con- tidered whether the money could not be better expended for another purpose. r. Canfield said that some weeks ago this Beard bad paseed an omnibus bill, in which these two bills were included. The bill went to the Board of Common Counciland was never acted upon there; and now these bills were in- troduced to carry out the yiews of the Fire Commiesioners and to meetthe necessities of the cily He bad po sectional feeling in the matter, for his ward was, as to water, in almost the same condition as that of the gentleman, (Mr. Lioyd;) but the Commissioners desired Jour steamers, in order that they might be able to district them, which they could not do now. As the omg were now located, the Uol- umbia would have to go to a fire near George- town. There was no necessity for more than two engines ordinarily ata fire, and if there were four steamers they would have designa- ted districts; and, besides this, the price of an engine would soon be realized by the saving in the wear and tear of engines which are obliged now to rnn to all fires. Mr. T. E. Lioyd said he had spoken to sey- erul of the Commissioners, and be was satistied that the present fire department was able to contend successfully with any fire that might originate in this city, if they could get water; but at this time, before making so large an ap- propriation, reference shmuld be had to more important and suitable objects.

Riley, Jobn Roach, Wm, should be expended to resist the attack of the Asiatic cholera. Mr. Noyes said that certainly the Seventh Ward had the greatest claim fora fire engine ifapother was to be purchased, being a large territory built up with frames and having no fire apparatus whatever. But the great need was for water, and he thought that the fire de- partment was doing very well and could afford fo wait until more pressing wants were eup- plied. It was natural that the fire department shonld desire to increase its powers, but there were other Interests to be looked after. With no money in the corporation treasury for street improvaihents, building school houses, laying water pipes, &c., he thought this amount shonld Lot be lavished forthe purchace of an addi- tional fire engine.
