Dr. CLARK, 01 who was appointed by the Balti more Conven! raw upaform of acode regulating the internal sanitary condition of cities, as a basis for the present Conyontion to act upon, submitted a draft of a ode, which: he said, if adopted in substance, could after- wards be submitied’ vo the Legislatures of the various States to be altered to suit the laws and circumstances of each State. The document gave rise toa lengthy and intoresting ‘iscazsion, some of the delegates believing that the pro- per mode to preeent the. sadject to Legislatures would be fm the form of propositions, instead of drawing up a code like the one presented by the committee. General Wurmoxe, of New York, made an eloquent ech on the importauce of internal sanitary reform. je alluded to the misgovernment of this city in Telation to its sanitary condition, and strongly advocated the appoint- ment of u Fanitary police. Dr. Griscom followed in the same strain; after which Ds, Kew, of Baitimare, gave a graphic description of the manner in which the sanitary regulations of that city are carried out, The Board of Heaith consisis of three physicians, appointed by the Mayor, and are held respon- pie for the health of tha city.

After the trancaction of some other untmpertant busi. ness, the Convention adjourned to meet on Saturday morn- ing at nine o'clock, The Convention wit+probably finally adjoarn in the afternoon. Dinner by the Commen Council to the Dele. gates to the Quarantine and Sanitary Con- ventions. The Common Conocil of New York entertained the de- legates to the Quarantine and Samtary Convention, now in segsien 'n this city, at the Metropolitan Hotel last even- ing, at a spiendid banquet. Precisely at sevon o'clock the conipany, numbering about 250, entered the dining room, to the delightful music of Dodworth’s band. His honor Mayor Tiemann took the chair. Among the nume- rous guests were Joseph Mayo, Mayor of Richmond, Va. ; W. 3. Rodman, Mayor of Providence, Rhode Island; Mosce Bigelow, Mayor of Newark, N. J.; F. W. Lincoln, Mayor of Boston; D. S. Gregory, Mayor of Jersey City; Senator C. V. Clickener; Dr. Griscom, President ofthe SanitaryfConveotion; Dr. W. M. Kemp, of Baltimore; Tr. Miller, Peter Cooper, Dr. ©. B. Gutarie, Dr. BR. la Roche. At the head tabie, also, sat afrepresentation of the Managing Committee of the Common Counoil, including Alderman Boole, D. T. Valen. tine, Wm. Lombier, Jr., und others, while members of Dott boards of the Council occupied Seats throughout the reom, together with several members of the medica! snd other professions. Among others we noticad Hepry O'Reilly, of telegraph notoriety; John F. Callan, of ‘Wastiington, Clerk of the Senate Military Committee; Gen. Wertmore, and others. T is unneceesary to state that the tables were served m an unexceptionable manner, with all possible delicacies and wines of ihe eboicest brands, such being the ocour- asbion at the Metropolitan, though on the present the dinner was got up on two day’s notice, On f which periot the sanitary con ght be set down us excellent, the pala towene Wn hie Seber arly 103g o'clock, on motion, farther Dject was postponed til!

Dr. Fraxcw, on riging to address the Conyertion, was | veoeived Witr joud appiauee, and proceeded to relate his | experience in reference to yellow fever for the last hulf century, He believed’ that thé provisions made from tim: time by the legislative authority of the State, and the sug gestions of medical men, bad been pryiilic of great bonel and as New York was the firet that established quaran tine {regulations, he hoped she would not be tho first | to abandon them altogether. He thought thst the medi | cal men of this country generalized too much, and there was a tendency in the American mind to come to a gene ral conclusion on one or {wo igolaied facts, which rendered | ue ridiculous before the studious scienife world.

He moke a epeech, for he was a worker, not a nd he would thorefore give the toast without iminary remarks. ‘Dr. Gusscos respoaded, alluding to the importance of sa. witary labore; for he gaid the causes of bad health avd bad morals are the same. One resolution adopted at the Con voution tuat day would, he predicted, astonish the puplic wheu it was spread before theim.

THE PRESENT CONDITION OF ITALY. Lecture by Signor G Gajant, at the Cooper Institute. Pureuant to padlic announcement, a highly intersting and instractive lecture on the present condition of Italian affairs was delivered in the Italian langvage on Thursday evening Inst, at the Cooper Institute, by Signor Guglicline Gajani, before the members of the Italian Society of Now York, entitled “ Unione e Fratellanza’’ (Union and Bro- therhood). A considerable number of other citizens were algo present, and the room in which the discourse was delivered was occupied in every part. At the hour appointed for the lecture to begin, Signor @ajam came forward amid loud and enthusiastic cbeers. He began by saying that @>out ten yeare ago, in the month of April, 1849, a league of Spain, Austria and | France was eptered into for the exprees purpose of putting — down the Roman republic and trampling wader foot the | eslorts of the brave and patriotic men-who devotedly songbt to make their country free. The parpose they songht to serve in thus operating against the Roman ro: public, was to restore the Papacy and to perpetuate the wrongs of aly. (Cheers.)

The Ita | jana were brave, patriotic and able to fight for iberty | nd independence, butthey could not be expected to be ble to conquer the opposition of all Rurope. Yet when. ever there was an opportonhy they would continue to tvggle for weir ireecom from tyranny and oppression, and they will ever trouble the peaee of Pu: and ever be athorn in the side of Suropean unt !'their na- oral incependence be acknowledged and recognized. (Loud cheers.) This was the true aim of Italian agita- lion--thig wag what Ler patriots fought for—this was what her sons aspired to~-for this so many of her raartyrs: hed died. (Cheerg.) Sismondi had traly eaid that there will be no peace for Rurope until Italy is dent and free, This fact bad been virtually proved again and again. Theslavery of Italy was tho cause of the present agitation in Kurope. The Congrese of Vienna, by condemn- ing Italy to division, established a cause of personal trouble and commotion, Divition was not what could tend to wake a country free, but rather the clozest union and fraternity, (Loud cheers.)
