Summer has at length putoa her fiery rode; the sof ‘breezes and gentle sunshine, which prevailed to an un- wavaly inte period, have yielded to the midsummer domain of broezeierz lazgitude and brazen heat.

The uguai ‘Waterhog place visiters bave goae to their old haunts, t+ ster. oty pedeurf bathing, minera! waters, mus'c, dancing and flissation. Tho great mass of the people still, how. ever, remain.

Thousands remain because they flad more com- fort, quiet and solid gatisfaction—even without the Opera and Gszzeniga and Cortesi—in their spacious dwelliogs ere than they can obtain elsewhere. A sorrowful com- Palsion toatroggle ceaselessly for bread and batter and abelter for themselves and little ones, keep, however, the @reater portion im the city. > The adsent, indeed, are searcely missed. The hurry of business and the din of @arta and omnibuzes acem the ame, and the steam whis- ‘Wee, wish unvarying sbrillnesa and precision, summon mechanics and artisans to their daily, dreary toil. To all yemaiming in the city, as well as staid residents who are semporarily absent, the subject of the pablic healsh is always of paramount interest. Now that the summer Beat bus eome upon us ip earneat, that a new City Inspec wor bas charge of the streets, that a rational way of Spending the Sabbath is stitl allowed, and that the weekly bills of mortality show no prevalent alarming sickness in the city, the public attention naturally di- ‘Verte to Quarantine matters, accompanied by the solemn ‘and earnest inquiry whether the city is properly guarded ageinat ibe introauction of epidemic diseases from avroad, ‘The leng continued Staten Island warfare agaiust Quar- antine, the wholesale burning of the Quarantine build. ‘ings, and the long continued and avowed determination of the State authorities to maintain Quarantine o2 Staten Inland, are doubtless supposed by maby opposing circum: mances that must have necessarily and wofully crippled the « flieacy, etringency and force of Qaarantine. To some extent they have. There ig no¢the same amount of hos- pital accommodation there formerly was, there are not as many et!pendiary physicians drawing large salaries and Going hittie work, and the catalogue of conveniences in the way of nearness to the city and the lighterage of car. goes are greatly diminished; but these are the good ‘Degimping of w= good end. The Quarantine anthori- ties and yellow fever, cholera and smallpox pa Mote, for that matter, would doubtless fod it more for their personal convenience could the Bat ery be converted into hoepital grouuds, and the adja- ext water into a Quarantine anchorage, The Health Of- fieer and the long string of employés under him would Gnd it vastiy easier to take business and pleasure tours into the city. A delightful lounging place to convalescent patients would be the benches and green grass, with the wide spreading brenches of the noble Battery trees pro. fecting them against the scorching and uihealtnfal rays of a noonday sun. This matter of perzonal convenience, fortunately, has never been attempted to be pushed to abis exivemity, the rafety of the public health beiog a Paramount eousideration. Avd yet, to locate the Quaran- tine ue Beery would not be more stupid than i con it Staten Taiand, the safety of the pabiic beaith be cozeiseration, Tho Staten Isigncers held to this argument ti, in the face of the persistent and foothardy resipcance mada to it, they could hold thelr patience n> lewgor. They tore dowa the Quarantine walls, burned the bulidings and expelied the fmstitation from the istaod. The esnterizing hag bad a eplendid effect; the ejecting pro- cess bes proved besithfal, and the tearing down promises a bwiding up of the isiaod. Staten Island has by tho menue 8 ated rid herself of Quarantine—a lazaretio, an in- enbos ehe bas long and villanousiy been saddied with. ‘The naturat charms of Staten Isimad as a suurbau and Yoo} reient the impasnioned language of postry has es- eased m vainto describe er lofty summit commends a noble and nnoaralicied view of the lower pirt of New ‘York, Brooklyn Heights, New Jersey and Loog Island Bboree—tbe vast and beaotiful stretch of water trow tho Battery tothe Narrows, studded with proud ships and steamers beiring the pennan's of every nation.

Staten Island was once consitered remote from New Yerk, spd_as sich and from its pecuitar position at the mouth of the herbor, it was looked upon as a fit place for the location of the Quaraotiae hoepitals aud anchorage. Apt 20 it Was when the Quarantine was first located theve—z time when there were scarcely say residents on ‘the istand, and when siow barges were the only means of Reorse to the city; time when there was Do more objsc. thon to Quarentine being located there then was interposed fortaerly wo the erestion in the upper part of ths city of foap tactoriesand bone boiling institutions. Staten Island gradually, however, became asubarb of New York, til) not m2zmmthb ferry_boate run between this city and the ielano every half hour, carrying hundreds of passengers asevery trip. With this increase of seitiement on the feand abd avgmentation of travel, increased the opposition to the continuance there of Quarantine, Tais opposttion bas been manifested for pears, and rational argumoat aot baving proper force, the barnicg of the Quarantine build fogs Decame a necetsi:y. Firet the tncendiery torch ‘was applied to the temporary boepitais erected at Seguine’s Powt, This destroyed, the destruction of the old Qua- Faptine buildings at! the Querantine headquarters ‘Was Dext tnougbtof. This mception of the thought was quickiy followed by its execution. Thirty.ooe buildings were, op the nigbts of the Irtand 2d of Sepvember last, ured, including hospitals, offices, guard and sash hoses, —the total loasof property beng $260,000 A mititery in- terregnum succeeded, an interregaum continuing several ‘Works and epteiling Deavy expenditure, The rogimeate of the New York State Militia bad a signal opportunity afforced them to try the discomforte of camp life. Favored contractors and master masous bad an opportualty to pocket heavy profite in the erection of temporary hos- Preis. Upon bis induction jote oflice, Gov, Morgan had the military withirawn and the erection of temporary how pitals stopped. Six temporary hospitais were, however, erected, eas 100 feet by 26 feet, out of the old boards and en paved from the ruins of former structures, A board house was pur up as aresi rence tor De.

Under the Quarantine réyume, cases of yellow fever occurred ont. avo of the Quarantine ‘walls, and there was oon- Stant denger not only of the inhabitants of the isiand opt away by this dreaded pentilential disease, aepreading to this city and an ensuing mor- tality infinitely exceeding any previous havoc of tho «is- ease. This was the leading and telling argument in favor ‘Of te remocal of Quarantine. The swindles and extor- tions to which merchants were su yjected in the towing of their vesse!n and Iighterage of cargoes wore, moreover, enormous, and acted powerfully to pring about the pro- fevt change in Quarantine regalatioas.

The o'd order of things has passed away and « new order bas been established. PREABNT QUARANTINE REGULATIONS, Atong the last acts of the lust Stars Legisiaturs, a0 will ‘be remsabered, was the appointment of new Quarantine Commissioners—ex-Gevernor Seymour, ex-Liew, Gov ernor Patterson, and Joan ©, Green, + merchant, ‘veing the ones appointed. The Commissioners provedins them had enirety tailed to secure any place for temoorary ogcupaucy for quarantine purposes, and the unexpended portion of the $260,000 originally appropriated for this porpere by law, lapsed into tho State Treasury.

PROSPECTS. Not a single yellow fever caze bas arrived in this port thus far, The reports brought by vessela poly arriving from foreign ports are highly enoouraging. The of the steamer , from Havana, and several of the paesengers, denied the report that yoliow fever prevailed to an alarming extent at that port, There had been somo cases, but when the steamer left notasinglc case was known to the health authorities to exist. Oaly two deaths had been reported. This statement was confirmed by Wr. J. Helm, United States Coneul at Havana. Oaeor two deatha are reported to have occurred ia Rio and Ba- nia. The Clara Windsor, referred to above as detained, was detained on account of the rumor, still lucking con- firmation, that yellow fever prevailed at Port au Prince, Jeet sailed from. The Tartara, from was account of relative last, bark Lamplighter, the detained, arrive’ from Tarke Island and Demerara. She was kept at Quarantine on account of a ore 4 from Demarara being sick with fever, the nature of w! was pot fully developed, fhe belief is, from the present prospects, that very few yellow fever cases will be brought into this port this summtr. This beliof is based on the fact that in those ports where this discese generally makes the earliest appcarance, and is the most violent, no cases ase reported, S THE OLD QUARANTINE PROPERTY, The Jand at Castleton, which has for go many years becn uged for quarantine purposes, comprises twenty-five acres, Now tbat the Qaarantine has been driven from there, tho tond must soon be offered for sale.

It been decided that the mavements should ai two o’clock in the morning, in order to avoid the excesgive heat of the day. Nevertheless, wg the 234 several detachments of the enemy showed themeelves on different points, and the Em had received notice of it: but, as the Austrians peror were in the habit of making numerous reconna‘sssaces bis Mojeaty only regarded tnoee demoneirations asa mirk of the care and attention which they give to obtaining in. formation and protecting per At five in the morning of the 2ith the Emo2ror, who was at Montechiaro, heard the report of cannon in ths p‘ain, and proceeded in all haste towards Oastig!ione, whore the Imperial Gaurd were to assomble. During the night the Anstrian army, which had desided on assuming the offen Bive, bad passed the Mincio at Goito, Valleggio, Mouzan- ‘ano and Peschiera, and azain oscupled the poswions which it Had recently abanéoped. This was the result of the plan the execution of whish tue enemy had parsed from the timo of their leaving Magenta, dy retiring succes- sively from Piacenza, Pizziyhetions, Cremona, Ancona, Bologna and Ferrasa, in a word, vy evacuating every in order to acsumuia’e their forces o2 io, They had, besides, increased their army with the greater part of the troogs composing the garrison of Verona, Mantus and Pescniers: and 1% was thus that they were able to assemble nite corps @armée, numbering attogether from 250,000 to 270,000 men, Who advanced towards the Caiese. covering the piaia and the heights. This immense force appeared to be di- vided into two armics: tbat on the right, according 1) notes found after the battle on en Austrian officer, was to | take possession of Lonato and Castiglione, and that 02 the left to march on Montechiaro, Toe Austrians thought thatthe whole of the allied army had not yet croseoo the Chieso, and their intention was to drive it back oa the right bank of that river. The two atmics, on their way one against the otaor, met therefore suddemly. Scarceiy had marshals aay @Hilliers end Mek passed Castiglione when taey found themselves in presence of considerable forces, which opposed their advance, At the same ingtant Gen. ‘Niel encountered the Austrians near Medole. Tae King’s army, which was going to Pozzolengo, also met the aus- triang in advance of Rivoltella; and, on bia part, Marshal Canrobert found the village of Castel Goflredo occupied by the enemy's cavalry,| Ail the corps of the allied army benz at the tims on their march at @ somewnat coasiderabie distance one from the other, the Emperor first of all directet his atten- tion to bringing them together, so that they might mu- tea ly support each other. For that ‘went immediately to Marshal the Duke de Mageata, who ‘was on the rigbt on the plain, and who bad depioyed per- pendicularly to the road whicn Jeads from Castiglione to Golto, As General Niel did not yet appear, his Majesty bastened the march of the cavairy of tha Imperial Gaara, and pieced it under the orders of the Daze de Magenta, as ® reserve to ree in the'plain on the right of the Sacond corps. The Emperor, at the game time, seat orders to Marehal Canrobert to tupport General Nicl as much as possivie, while recommending him to guard himself oa ‘the right sgainstan Austrian corps which, according to information given to his Majcaty, was to advance from Mantua on Azola, These measures having been taken, the Eupsror re- paired to the heights, in the centre of the line of battie, where Marshal Baragusy @’Hilliers, too distant from tha Sardinian army to be able toact !n conjunction with It, had to struggle in very difficult ground against troops which tw were incessantly renewed. ‘The Marsbal bad nevertheless arrived at the foot of the Steep bill on which the village of Solferino ia built. Tost village was defended by considerzble forces, entrenched in ap old chateau and a cemetery, both of which were surrounded by thick and crenelated wails. The Marshal had already lost a great number of men, and had had more than once to expose himself by leading on the troops of Bazaine’s and Ladmirsult's divisions. Worn out with fatigue and beat, and exposed to s heavy firé of murketry, these troope gained ground with much @fficulty,. At this moment the Emperor ordered Forey’s division to advance, one brigade on tho side of the pisin, and the other on the heignt againet the village of Solferino, and caused it to be supported by Camon’s division of light infantry of the uard. He caused to advance with these tr ‘the artil- ry of the Guard, which, under the command of General de Sevelinges and General Leboraf, took up an uncovered porition at about 300 metres from the enemy. [nis ms neeuvre decided the auccess in the centre. While Forey’s ivision seized on the cemetery, and General Bazaino dashed bis troops forward into the village, the light infaat- ry and riflemen of the Imperia! Guard climbed up to the foot of the tower commanding the chateau and possessed themeclves of it. The little hitls near Solferino wera suc- cessively carried, and at balfpast three the Austriaas evacuated the position, under the {lire of our artillery, jaced on the crests, and lett in oir hands 1,590 prisoners, 4 pieces of cannon, and two colors. Tie share of the Imperiat Guard in this glorious trophy was 18 guns and one color. While this conflict was going on, and while the fire was | the heaviest, four Austrian columns, advancing between the King’s army and the corps of Marshal Baragusy d’Hii- ers, endeavored to turn the right of ihe Piodmontese. Six pieces of artillery, however, ably directed py Genoral Forgeot, had opened a very heavy fire on tue flank of = columns, and forced them to retrace their steps in iorder, Whilst the corps of Marshal Baraguay d’Hilliors was gustaining the conflict at Solferino, the corpa of tim Dake de Magenta had deployed in tue plain of Guidizzolo, ia a. | Yance of the farm of Casa Marina, avd hig line of battio, | cutting the road to Mantaa, directed ite right towards Mo dole, At nineo’clock in the morniog he was attacked by a strong Austrian column, by & numerous artii- | lery, which placed ttaeif ia battery at 1,000 or 1,200 yards in advance of our front, The artillery of tho’ fies’ two divisions of the Second corps, advancing gmmediately on the live of skirmishers, opened a very starp fire azainsi the front of the Austrians, and at the same iastaat too horee batteries of Desvaux’s and Partonnoavx’s divisions took the enemy*s cannon ew écharpe, reduced them to silence, and soon forced them to fall back.
