fae == Cholera Statistics, Several incorrect statements having been pub- lished in the papers, with regard to the number of cases and deaths by cholera in this city, in 1832 and 1834, we have tuken the trouble to examine the records of the Board of Health, at the City Hall, and from them we have prepared the follow- ing abstracts, which may be relied on as correct. We may remark, that in a few instances, where the records of the Board of Health are unac- countably deficient, we have endeavored to supply the deficiencies by referring to files of newspapers published at the time, when the public mind was alive to the sybject, and when accuracy in reports Was attempted by the journals of the day. THE CHOLERA oF 1832, .. The first case of Asiatic cholera which occurred in the city, in 1832, was said to have been on the 27th June, but such were the disputes among phy- sicians and others, that the Board of Health ar- rived at no definite conclusion until the 3d of July, when up to that time it appeared that twelve cases and eleven deaths by cholera had taken place, From that time until the 29th August, daily re- ports of cases and deaths by cholera were made y the Board of Health, as follows:— O Deaths. sug.

CHOLERA OF 1834. _ t The disease was much lighter in its effects this year than in 1832, as appears by the following ab- Stract from the otticial records of the Board of. Health. The first report was made on the Ist of August, some uncertainty having, as before, been felt as to the cases which first occurred. From the 7th to the 11th of August, the number of deaths only were reported by the Board, which we have also added to the list of cases, to make the table 15... .14 16... .10 . Total.436 286 The whole number of eases reported by the Board of Health up to the 16th September, when the daily reports were discontinued, was 1,033, and of deaths, 633, above stated. But the whole number of deaths hs the cholera during the year 1834, as reported by the City Iuspector’s an- nual statement of interments, was 971, or 338 more deaths than reported by the Board of Health. The total number >f deaths in the city by other diseases than cholera, in 1332, was 6,846, and 8,111 in 1834, thus showing a greater mortulity, with the exception of cholera, in the latter than in the former year. | " ah The following shows the mortality, by all dis- eases and casualties, in the city, from 1831 to 1543, inclusive :— 1840.

Last night, about quarter before 10 o’clock, one of the most terrific fires seen for a length of time in this city, broke out in the sugar house of Harris & Co., in Duane street, a few doors west of Broadway. So sudden was the conflagration, and so completely did it envelope the building] in flames, that before the City Hall bell, which is so near, tolled the alarm, the fire burst out from almost every window at once. It was seen first, however,in the uppermost story but one. Some idea may be formed of the magnitude of the fire, when we say that with its light one could te read distinctly up as far as Canal street on one side, down tothe Park on the other, and in Duane street itself, far beyond West Broadwa: The heat s felt strongly in front of the City Horpltee; whi the'crowd rushed in, completely filling the grounds. Broadway was rendered impassable, the multitude blocking it up for «ne hundred yards on elther side of Duane street. Reade street was also filled. and the tops of the houses all round were occupied with spectators, Numerous fire-engines were promptly in attendance; but it soen became evident that their combined force could avail nothing in saving the burning pile, what- ever they might doin preventing the extension of the flames to the adjoining houses ‘There was the greatest alarm for the whole block. ‘The firemen acted their part bravely, notwithstanding the pressure of the crowd in the narrow streets, which greatly obstructed their operations, ‘The first house that appeared to be im imminent danger, was the frame house on the West side of the sugar house, which toek fire on the roof. It was, how- ever. ascended by meaus ofa ladder, andfone of the firemen so played on it with the hose, that ho preveat- ed the fire extending in that direction, ‘The church, which is close to it, and still nearer the North river, was also in great danger, and but for its being built of thick eut stone, it would have fallen a prey to the devouring element. It was kept eool b; oral 61 gines. ‘saw a number of persons on the roof when the peril appeared to be greatest. The fire now gradually worked its destructive course south and east, and there were great fears for the at blek of Thurston and Townsend. which extended across from Duane to Reade street, also the houses Nos. 68 and 70, in the latter street. appeared to be marked out for destruction, The constant action of the engines on that side, among which we observed Nos. 6 and 28 to be most efficient, checked the progress of the flames in that direction, The stables, how- ever, could not be saved. Meantime, the blaze from the sugar house lighted up the heavens—the sac- charine matter undergoing a chemical ehange by the action of heat, and being turned intospirit. The flumes were as blue as from burning brandy; and ever and anon a smothered explosion was heard, just as from a puncheon of ardent spitite; crash after crash of the falling chimneys, roof and walls, added to the terror and sublimity of the scene. It wan fortunate that what wind there was was from the south or south-cast, else the amount of damage would have been ten timesas great; in fact, there is no knowing where the destruction might end. The night was calm, and therefore the danger was curtailed, The engines Nos, 34 and 20 did noble executien in Duane street, and we also observed there No. 46. The fire had now rane for more than two hours, and the great object seemed to be to save the fine Ovelling: house next tothe sugar house, on the East side. The roof had taken fire, and a sheet of flame was issuing from either dormant window. A hese had been introduced into the hall-door and up the stairs, and did good scrvice, but was not sufficient, At length a ladder was erected, and one of the firemen ascended with another hose, and, breaking one of the dormant windows, actually fung himself into the flames. He ‘soon cheeked their progress, so as to allow him to demolish, with the assistance of other firemen, the roof of the dormant Meantime, the other engines played upon the East side of the house and the rear. which, tegether with the falling in of the walls of the sugar house, suved it from utter destruction. About one o'clock, the fire ‘was so got under, that its further advance was arrest- ed, Tremendous damage, however, has been done.

Damage trifling, ‘A Farse Aranm.—At a quarter past eleven yesterday, the bell of the City Hall tolled an alarm of fire in the second division of the third district, and as this ex- tends a considerable way up the North river from the Battery. there appeared to be some perplexity at first among the fire companies ; some took the north direc- tion, some the south. At length the formidable fire that caused so much excitement and running and sweat, was found to be towards the Battery, when, behold six or eight engines, with their good men and true, with an immense multitude of specta- tors, were congregated around a cauldron of moltem Jead upon a fire of chips in Patrick's place, being used for the purpose of fastening some new iron railing at Bartlett's public house opposite the Battery. ‘The tire- men took {t in good humor. though they had so hard a race for nothing. They are noble fellows, ‘Tnx City Herre axp Crorena.—It has been stated by some of the eity papers, that the principal hotels ef New York have had rooms fitted up in their establish- ments for cholera hospitals, and medical gentlemen resident, to attend to the patients, There is no trath in thir statement; and what gave rise it, or why it was made, it is difficult to imagine, exeept from some ma- liclous motive, Certain ft is that such a statement. is enlculated te do there hotels an injury, for no matter what medical men or ourselves may think about the non-contagious character of cholera, there are too many whose fears would rise superior to reason and ex- periency, and laduce them to keep aloof from the vi- cinity of patients affected with that direare. ‘The fact in that not a ense of cholera has occurred at the Astor, Irving or Howard, nor have any preparations for such a contingency been maderby their proprietors, because they think it wholly unnecessary. The only possible c'ne for the statement in question, that the United States Medical Board have held their regular meetings at the Irving House for the examination of candidates, Beyond this, there was not the slightest ground. for the misreprorentation; and to hang such ayarn upon» peg of that kind, 1s as absurd as it ie malignant, Warenine tie Sipewatxs.—It would be well if those persons who water the sidewalks sometimes, for amuse- ment, would be a little more considerate for the pertons who may be passing at the time. Yesterday the water was poured on purpose over the lower part of the pantaloons and boots of gentlemen, and dresses of ladies, which completely saturated them.

That by said act, the said master and wardens had conferred on them the exclusive power and authority to survey, with the assistance aforesaid, all vessels. &c., and to judge of such repairs as might be necessary tor the safety of such vessels on any intended’ voyage, That by the act pasted March 20, 1844, it is declared and enacted, amongst other things, that if any person or persons shall, under any pretence, perform or exer- cise any of the powers, functions, or duties, of the mas. ter and wardens of the port of New York, by doing any of the aets or performing any of the duties or services belonging to or appertaining to them, or their said fice specified in the above recited act of February, 1819, each and every person so offending shall, for each such offence, forfeit and pay tothe muster and wardens, a sum of fifty dollars, to be sued for and recovered by them in their corporate name, with costs, in any court having cognizance thereof, one-half thereof to be ap- plied to their own u: nd the other half to the use of the pilot’s charitable fund inthe city of New York.— That on or about the 19th of April, 1848, the bark Ve- Tiler yee into the port of New York. in distress, while bound on a voyage from the port of Havana to the port of Cowes. in the Isle of Wight—that she had ‘alued much injury from s gale of wind she encountered, and was ina very leaky state, in consequence of which, considerable repuirs were necessary, to enable her te proceed with safety on her voyage. That defendant, te- gether with other persons, went onboard said bark shortly after her arrival, and in direct violation of suid last mentioned act, made a survey of her, and judged the repairs. which were nesesrary for her safety on the intended voyage. The plaintiffs, therefore, insist, that by force of the statutes, the defendant became liable to pay to them the sum of $50, to be applied, &e., together with coste, The defendant, in bis answer, after admitting the material allegations in the complaint, in relation to the veseel having drrived at this port in distress, stated that she was insured in Boston, and that defendant was at the time the inspector in the port of New York, of the insurance companies of Boston. That on the 19th of May, 1848. he was requested by the master and consignee of the said bark. to examine herin company with others, and to give bis opinion as to the repairs she required.

There being no question of fact inthe cause for the jury to pass upon, the facts being admitted, it was ph ‘upon by couneel on both sides, that the Court should direct the jury to find @ verdict for the plaintiffs for tho sum of $50 and costs, reserving to defendant’s counsel the right to enter an appeal on the minutes, in order to bring the ion as to the construction of the acts of a February 1#19 and Mareh 1814, under the considers. tion of the Court im Verdict accordingly.

On the afternoon of the bth of June, 1846, she left Albany, on her return trip to this city and, on rounding St. Anthony's Nose, the porsons on board thought they discerned something at & considerable distance cif, with a light, which they concluded was a vessel lying at anchor.’ The Santa Claus kept om hor course, until she neared, and found that it was a steamer, with only one light.

Halstead, Esq, of ‘Trenton, N. I., pro- posing an investigatien of the truth of reports which were so currently circulated from one end of the Union to the other, with reference to the moral conduct and financial operatious of the President of the convention, These resolutions were seconded by Rev. Mr. Peet. Prior, however, to their introduction. it was gei lly understood. from the conversation of the members out of doors, that the movement was on foot, and that it was also to be supported by an overwhelming majority +f the convention. The resolutions were introduced by Mr. H., with ac- companying remarks, He stated that he conceived it to be a duty which they owed to the shure, to the cause of religion, aud to the Bishop himself, that this investigation should take place. If the reports were false, he ought to seek a remedy. If they were true, further action ought to be bad upon the matter, No sooner had Mr. H. taken his reat, than he was followed by several individuals who condemned the movement fo the most unmeasured terms, and lauded the Bishop to the skies. The most forward and offi. cious gentleman in this clique, was Mr King, of New York city, co-editor of the New York Courier and En- iver. Me, King was exccedingly vituperative! and abusive in his language, which bordered even upon vulgarity. He declaimed with the utmost vehemence and yiru- lence against the gentleman who had the audacity to produce such retolutions before the convention. He stigmatized the effort as being based upon slauderous and lying reports. spread abroad by a malicious, con- temptible and ignorant multitude, who neither com- prehended nor cared to understand the motives and vast beneficent designs of their excellent bishop. Mr. King then appealed to the aympathies of the au- dience, by asking them if there ever lived # public be- nefactor who did not suffer reproach and contumely in his day and generation, from short sighted, misjudg- ing, and malicious men. “Could we (exclaimed expect our excellent father to form an exception to what kas been the fate of all other illustrious benefac- tors of our race? Could we expect that he should es- cape the wholesale denunciations, base aspersions, and malignant misrepresentations of unscrupulous ene- mies? No,it could not be expected. But the time will come when he sball be understood. when tives shall be explained. and his conduct appreciated in the glorious results of the benevolent enterpria which he is now engaged He then declared that Bishop Doane was the bene- factor of tbe church. aud aceomplished, (which lent would observe exists only in the f seme disordered minds.) peech completely intimidated the audience to such an extent that no one svemed to be possessed ef sufficient moral courage to undertake a reply. ‘Tite resolutions ac rdingly were voted down with- out a dissenting voi it now eomen the sequel. Mr. Sherman, one of the delegates. arose and stated that he eonceived it to be the duty of the convention to ascertain what disposition had buen made of the funds ef the diceess, as no aecount bad been rendored for several years past. Mr. Germain. the treasurer of the diocess, mo sooner heard this, than he immediate- ly eathered up his books aud papers, aud left the jouso! During the progress of the discussion for the propos- od inquiry into the state of the finanees of the divcess, it was observed that Bishop Doauc appeared to be ex- tremely ill at case, and when the proposition was final- ly eariied bis countenance became deadly pale, aud his knees smote together like Bulshaszac’s, Laboring under the greatent agitation and exeitement, he hasti- ly jumped up from his seat. and exclaimed that the proposed inquiry, made insinuations that were whell unjustifiable and umealled for, te which he add (coking arewnd the church) where ls Germain?

Mr. Germain appeared, and the investigation took place, It appeared that the funds of the chureh amounted to about $9000, which had been loaned out to different individuals on bond and mortgage several years previously to the appointment of Germain as ireacurer. It also appeared that Bishop Doane, at sun- dry times being urgently pressed for tunds, and not succeeding in raising the wind elsewhere, went to Germain, who held postes#ion of these bouds, (and whore conduct in this affuir is somewhat question- able.) and obtained them from him, giving his own bonds in their stead, These bonds Doane disposed of, (excepting one amounting to $1,600. which he did not succeed in negotiating.) ut an enormous discount This astounding developement as coupletely para- lyzed the audience, as though # thunderbuit had talon in their minds, A solemn and breathless silence per- vaded the whole house for some moments.

The beautiful drama of “Claude Duval; Or, the Child of Mystery,” was re- peated last night, andina style ef splendor greater than the previous performance. In this piece Mr. McFarland sustains the character of Mervyn, and with good effect. He is a most promising young actor, and seems to throw his whole energy into the part, which he most ably portrays, Mr. Duff, as Col. Blood, is an excellent performance. especially in the last scenes, where he compels Lady Howard, (Mrs. Jordan) to acknowledge the legitimacy of Merryn, and the happy restoration of Aurora Sidney to freedom. ‘The latter character is supported by Miss Wemyss, whose beaaty of style and graceful action upon the stage, have won for her an innumerable host of ardent admirers, Mr. Wyvans, whose comical appearace ix always sure to | creates laugh, appeared as Peter Prance, und as per- | formed by him, itis not thejleast character of the pic but filled with wit and humor.

To the gentlemen who compuse the orchestra the thanks of the public are due for the large contributions they have made to their gratification—we do not like the word “umusement;” it is not complimentary to them or the patrons of the theatre: it is much more applicable to a“Punch and Judy” exhibition, in some lune, than to a display of talent of high order in re- lation to so exalted und intellectual # subject as music inatheatre like the Broudway. ‘This bullet is in- debted for much of its success to them. ‘The comedy of the “Irish Dragoon” was played @ second time, and met. with all the applause it deserved.

The yerformances of one night are only « aurety that the following one will be still more interesting. Last night the sterling comedy he Heir at Law” was played, and none who have ever seen it, as it is brought out ut the National, will but that itisone of the finest piccos extant, The partgof Ezekiel Homospun was supported by Mr. Burke, in his usual unsurpassed style, from his ‘first appearance in London, an awk- ward country boy, with his sister Cicily, to the inhe- ritance of the fortune, despite the heirs of the tallow chandler’s son, Dick Dowlass, (Mr. Hield) who professes great love for Cicily, until there is@ probability that tle and fortune awaits him. ‘The character of the ister by Miss Mestuyer, was performed in igood taste and welcomed by the plaudits of the immense audience. ‘The local piece of “Three Years After’ loses none of its interest by repetition. but now promises to have Tun tor weeks, if not months, yet§to come, and it ca! not be thought strange, when #0 many soenes of deep interest are connected with it, and which are presented in sucha manner es it is, fully portraying all the. phases of Gotham life. The pas eeul, by Miss Carline, was loudly encored. The farce of the “Rival tains,” was the concluding performaxce of the even- ing ud one which was well calculated to elate the spirits of the audienco after the drama fraught with 40 many touching scenes. Several popular pieces will be presented this evening, which will be well worth seeing, and which will doubtless fill the house to its utmost capacity, Burton's Tueatne—Seconn Arreamance or Mapamn Avavers,—Last evening this amiable lady and emi- nent artiste made her second appearance at this popu- lar theatre, and was again most cordially received. “The Pirate's Isle” has been got up very well—the scenery is excellent, and tHe general arrangements, with one exception, judicious; but the great point of interest and attraction, we must say, is the daucing of this lady, who possesses all the politeness of beautiful France, without any of its unmeaning frivolities and tiring and undignified gesticulations, which are very often mistaken tor solid accomplishments and lady- like deportment The * Pus de Trois,’ in which she figures. was much admired, and her general style is ruch that no one, with any show of reason or justice, can take the least exception to it. It te distinguished ina remarkable degree for the absence of that which is ruinous to opera dancing, no matter how “acieutific” it may be, or how high alady may bound off the | beards. Bladame Augusta’s dancing is, if we may be ullowed the use of terms which convey, to our own mind. at all events—although they may not be eo sidered the correct ones by hypercritics, who comme: upon the relative merits of rival artistes—our mea: ing, subdued and regulated by the etrict rules of deli- cucy.
