eral ‘NO FURTHER. CASES. THE ATALANTA AND EUROPE. Undignation of the Passengers of the Atalanta, Worrespondence Between Governor Fenton and the Quarantine Commissioners. Meeting of the Quarantine and Health Commissioners. &eo. de, &e. ‘The cholora, as it has appeared on board the Atalanta, “has mado no further ravages since Sunday, The suf- ferers are receiving all the medical assistance needed, ‘and it is probable we may not be visited in the city by this dreadful disease. Ono good thing the excitement in Foferonce to it will accomplish, and that is a greater re- “gard both in indiyiduals as well as in our municipal ‘Dodies for the enforcement of cleanliness as regards our Streets and tenant houses, ‘ THE ATALANTA. No additional cases haye shown themselves on board ‘the Atalanta. The disease is thought to bo but a mild description of the cholera, and with a little care and at- tention the persons at prescnt suffering from its cflects may recover. Senator Morgan yesterday received a tolegram from the Secretary of the Treasury placing wt his disposal any of the blockade runnors in charge of Commander Bell, at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, for the purpose of being ased citheras hospital slip, OF for,placing passengers removed from infected vessels onit, The subject was referred to the Mayor, who has ‘written to the commander, who will doubtless despatch ‘at ones one of the vessels to the lower bay. On its ar- rival ths passengers remaining on board the Atalanta, who are all well, the sick ones being ou the Nightingale, will ‘De removed to her. The passengers on board the Atalanta are greatly in- eensed at being detained in Quarantine. They hold, as will appear from the following correspondence with the Mayor, that there has been no such thing as cholera on board, and request that the matter may be in- ‘vostigated :— Ox Boarp tHe ATALANTA, Nov. 5, 1865. To the Honorable the Mayor or New York :— Allow us, the undersigned passengers of the steamship Atalanta, now lying in Quarantine in the lower bay of New York, to have recourse to you in the trying position in which we find ourselves, eons, you to use your potent influence in our behalf. Reports have been cir- culated, and wo fear too readily believed, to the effect that the steamer is infected with cholera. As weighty reasons induce us to believe that such is not the case, we ‘would most humbly petition your Honor to appoint some committce to mvestigate our condition and to ascertain its truth and real character, as we do not think that the Aare of one man should have weight enough to de- 16 in a case of euch importance. ‘We would most humbly submit to your Honor’s con- desceusion that if the before mentioned disease be not ‘on board it would be an act of humanity to release us from the suspense into which its apprehension has natu- ey thrown us, and to do all that is possible to allow to proceed to the place of our destination. On the other hand, if it be really infected, would it not be advisable to adopt measures to have us transported to some place where the danger of being infected would be much lees, hope of eradicating the disease much greater? Such, nt least, is our opinion. It would serm to us indeed that humanity domands ‘that over five hundred passengers should not be left in a piace exposed to the danger of being swept away by a 80 terrible, on account of the ravages it overy- where makes. Induced by these considerstions aud the ‘welfare you undoubtedly take inthe interest of your fellow beings, and the influence you exert in the great city of which’ you are the head, we are assured thal you will spare no exertions, and will omit no opportunity of helping us in our critical position, and gratify the petition ‘we have brought before you. ‘At a mecting which’ was convened on board this roe by the passengers, the following resolution was lopied :— Resolved, That had the disease been cholera, as has Deen supposed by some, that its fatality would have more than decimated the passengers and crew of this vessel ; and that the public mind of the citizens of New York has been misird and excited against us, from the excessive exaggeration in the New York press. REPLY OF THK MAYOR. Mayor’s Ovrice, New York, Nov. , Mownis Jones and others, pi ¢ Atalanta;— Grytixwen—I have the honor to acknowledge the re- cept of your letter of the Sth inst., representing the bardsbips of tho condition in which you find yourselves, and sincerely sympathise with you, “Arrangeinents have bean made to place the passengers of the Atalanta on ‘Board a steamer to be sent down from the Navy Yard, and every means will be afforded for their comfort dun: the period of detention, The utmost despatch will be used in Lebar ty | the Atalanta and the baggage of the pas- sengers, and I hope that at an carly day they will be per- Bitted to leave for their places of destination. Tho question whether the disease which has appeared ‘90 unfortunately on board the Atalanta is cholera or not, ig not within my province to decide. It rests with the ‘Suthoritics of Quarantine. In conclusion I beg to state that I will do all In my power to alloviate the discomforts of your detention and shorten its duration, Tam, with great respect, your humble servant, ©. GODFREY GUNTHER, Mayor. THE EUROPE DISINFECTED. Dr. Doremus yesterday morning commenced the work Of disinfecting the steamer Europe in such a manner as to altogether destroy the germs of the cholera if there. Every care will be taken that all the passengers’ trunks, baggage, &c., be carcfully fumigated, so that there may mot be the least possibility of infection being conveyed to the city. The passengers of the Europe, having passed Ovor the seventeen days necessary by the rules of the Commissioners, were allowed to come to the city last evening. WORRESPONPENCR BETWEEN GOVERNOR FENTON AND THE QUARANTINE COMMISSIONERS, ‘The following letters of Governor Fenton, Dr. Barnos, Surgeon General of the United States army, and Cyrus Curtis, President of the Quarantine Commissioners, on the question of cholera, show the confidence felt by all a8 regards the abilities of the medical men in charge;— LITER FROM GOVERNOR FENTON, Exwina, Nov. 4, 1865, Grvitensn—Just as T was leaving the capital, a few days ago, for your city, I recelved a communication from the Sorgeon General, United States Army, city of Waxh- fngton, encloeing a number of the “Medical and Surgical er,’ containing an article upon Asiatic choiera, embracing suqestions in reference to quarantine, to which I deem it r to d.rect your attention, Tappend a copy of the note of the Surgeon General, Bs an ovidence of the solicitude which is felt by the offi cers of the government, in regard to the anticipated ap- pearance hore of the pestilence which is now ravaging Many portions of Europe, and which medi men conf. dently predict will soon make its appearance upon our , To you the law bas commitied the duty of making Provision for the care of thove who, through the com.

REPLY OF CYRUS CURTIS, Orrice OF THR BOARD OF QUARANTINE COMMISSIONERS, 98 Buoapway, Nov, 6, 1865, To His Excellency Governor Fexron:— ‘Sin—The Board of Commissioners are in receipt of your communication of the 4th ingt., upon the subject of Asiatic cholera. The emergency alluded to by your Exccl- Jeney had tabard arisen before the date of your letter, A veseel arrived in port on the 2d inet, having on board several cases of cholera, Immediately tipon learning the fact the Board took active measures to pro’ for the reception and caro of tho sick on the floating hospital and she was fitted out with all necessary supplies anc despatched to the lower bay. Though not the best place for the reception of those affected with such a disease, it was the only means at the Immediate disposal of the Cominissioners; and it is believed that the provision which has been made will prove amplo to meet the emergency, until some more suitable provision shall be made oy the Legislature. ‘The Health Oiflcer was entirely right in assuring your Excolloncy of the will’ngness and anxiety of’ the Board to co-operate with him in his efforts to guard against the approach and spread of this pestilence. They will not be deterred from doing what may be necessary to sid him by the fact that the appropriation for the support of Quarantine the current year is already exhausted. They tely, with entire confidence, upon being sustemed by the next Legislature in doing whatever necessity requires should be done in an emergency which was uot provided for when the ast appropriation was mado, because it was not anticipated that it Would arise. ‘Tho suggestions contained in the extroct from the re= port referred to by your Excellency are instructive and pertinent, and many of thom wili furnish a safe guide for the action of the Quarantine authorities. ‘Thanking you for the kind manner in which you have alluded to this Board, I have the honor to be your Excel- lency’s obedient servant, CYRUS CURTIS, President. MEETING OF QUARANTINE COMMISSIONERS, ‘The Quarantine Commissioners held a meeting yester day, at which the following resolntions were adopted :— Whereas, it is reported to this Board that the steamer Atalanta arrived yesterday at Quarantine, having on board twenty-cight or thirty cages of cholera among omigrant passengers from Havre, and that several deaths have ‘occurred on board from the same cause; therefore, Resolved, ‘That a rigid quarantine be enforced on said vessel in the lower bay, and that from this date all ves- sels from Havre, London, Southampton and ports in the Mediterranean, and all other ports at which cholera, in an epidemic form, may have been prevailing at the time of departure, shall be quarantined for the period of flve days for observation; but that if any case of cholera shall have, o-curred on board any such vessel, the said vessel shall be detained until the passengers are re- moved, and the veeeel and cargo thoroughly ventilated and disinfected, or until, in the judgment of the Health Officer, said vessel may be permitted to approach the wharves in safety. Resolved, That all passengers sick with cholera or tr diarrhea shall be transferred to the hospital ship. MBETING OF THE HEALTH COMMISSIONERS. The Health Commissioners held a meeting yesterday afternoon in the Mayor’s ofiice, The following was received from Inspector Boole ;— Cry Insracror’s Drranracyt, 19 City Have Square, Cuatnam Street, - New York, Nov. 4, 1865. To tae Honorante, TH: MAYOR AND COMMISSIONERS OF Heauta:— It having been reported that a vessel has ENTLEME: arrived at this port and is now lying in the lower buy containing what are supposed to be cases of cholera, I take the liberty of suggesting the expediency and pro- priety of getting the Board of Health together without delay to sueh action a3 may be required to abate at once all nu neces injurious (o the public health, for the reason that sbould the cholera obtain a foothold in our city those nuisances would undoubtedly aggravate the danger. Your honorablo er 4 is well aware that I have always been of the opinion that neither yourselves nor this department have sufficient power inan emergency to take cifective action, while the Board of Health has almost unlimited power, aud that only through that Board can such matters be reached. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, F. I. A. BOOLE, City Inspector. After the performance of some other business, stated elsewhere, the Commission adjourned. Dr. Sayre started for Washington on Sunday evening in order to see the President about procuring ground for ‘® hospital on Sandy Hook. He will probably have com- pleted his mission this day. It rests with the Mayor to convene the Board of Health, but so long asthe Com- missioners of Health can act without the necessity of that Board ho is determined not to do so, Acommunication, the substance of which we give, ‘was received from the Health Officer in reference to the Europe, at present in the lower bay :— After full consultation with you on Saturday, aa to the best course to pursie regarding the steamer Earope, under these circumstances, we concluded that, although the vessel sailed from Havre (one of the ports named in the resolution of Friday), and had many gers from Paris, where cholera exists, yet, as no symptoms of the disease had been developed through their unusually and boisterous ze of fourteen days, that after disin- fecting the clothing and baggage in the staterooms, the passengers might safely leave with the same for this city, after which the remaindor of the baggage and cargo might undergo purification, and finally the vessel. iy these means as little detention as possible was_ offered to the operation of eom- merce and to the comfort of the passengers, at the same time securing ourselves ageinat infection. On Sunday, the 5th inat., I visited the steamer in company with Drs, Doremus and Wilkinson, taking with us the requisite means of dixinfecti All the clothing and baggage in the state rooms was ‘traneferred to a sultable part of the vessel and placed In care of the proper agents, 16 passongers and their purified baggage will leave for New York this morning, atter which the residue of the baggage, the cargo and the vessel will be held, as we de- cided. The fuil period of five days, as presetibed by pre- vious revolution concerning vessels from infected ports, will be completed to-morrow, and ff it meets with your concurrence the vessel will then be permitted to proceed to Now York. The Committee, which was addressed by the President of the Quarantine Commission, then re- to the cleanly character of the vessel, and t tire absence of sickners during the passage. The Quarantine Hospital. It is absolutely necessary, as all will readily concede, cholera or no cholera, that New York should have some place in or near its harbor which could be used as « Marine Hoepite! or Quarantine, for the protection of citi- zens from the importation of diseases, of which our own laxity and municipal uncleavliness have provided us @ plentiful supply ready made. The first locality that naturally suggests itself is Sandy Hook, Years ago there were steps taken by the philanthropic and provi- dent to secure this place for the State of New York. In the success or defeat of these measures the whole nation is vitally interested, for contagion, to which this city is pre-eminently exposed, once in New York, it necessarily spreads to the interior and along the coast in either rection, SANDY 100K, it was formerly pretended, belonged to the State of New Joreey, Asn part of her territory—or adjacent to hor tervitory—it might appear that she legally could claim ownership and jurisdiction over it. But this appearance is deceitful, As before stated in these columne, Sandy Hook formerly belonged to the 1 wis purchased by tho Hartehorn whom atill reside in the vicinity, and was never a por- tion of the proprietary estate of New Jersey. The gov- erumont of the United States purchased it from the Hartshorne, and, a» will be shown hereafter, ceded it by purchase to the Bate of New York, to which it still be- longa, This fact wae probably not known to the commit. tee whieh started for Washington on nrday last, for the purpose of securing the title to the tof land, eee they had not taken the journey. A HISTORICAL, DOCUMENT. As ontly ag 1849 {ho subject of having this State well settled in the proprietorship of Sandy Hook was consid- orably discussed, the objact Peing, a8 how, to locate upon prt er arg for Lue detention of emigrants coming hore sick with or tiablo to spread infectious diseases. . member of the Assembly and a gontleman having tl best interosts of the ube in. view, Mr, Gabriel P. Doisos- way, now of Staten Tal took an important part fm the project and contributed his personal endeavors, time and monoy in proving a title to the reul estate, ‘with out which New York could do but little, He visited Al bany a number of ti Maen Melee flog and other ints whove work bo pug in that he thought would Final his efforts, as will be shown by which he obtained ited St a SWCD RY Sei a hn it Ba ed nt Taylor did not live to confirm the act by s the decd to the State of New York, but Millard Fi iieaore, his snooeesor, did make the nedeosary Oe, after the surveys had been perfected a: Oboe signated by him. The piece of land jutting out into the ocean from New Jersey, comprising about fourteen hun. dred acres in area, was thus indisputably placed in the ownership of the Bate of New York. NEW JERSEY SHOCKED. Notwithstanding the fact that New Jersey never owned the Hook, she squirmed and floundercd as though a fish- hook had been in her gills when it was underatood that this Stato had assumed proprietorship of it, It was then contended that New York might have the estate, but could not exercise jurisdiction; for New Jersey heta that privilege as yet intact. It took such a man asthe late fohn Aithony to put a quietus to that idea, and he did it iu an opinion from which it is unnecessary to quote more than a few sentences. By an act of the Legislature of 11790 New Jersey ceded tothe United States all the interest she ever had in Sandy Hook. In 1846 another act ceded the same property to the United States, with all her rights and presimed powers of jurisdiction. And now that the United States has ceded all its rights in the estate to the State of New York it would appear that the chain of title was complete, and that this State hada right to use Sandy Hook for hospital purposes without further opposition, The deed, obtained trom Millard Fillmore, the then Executive of the United States, by Mr. Dolsosway, was by him to Albany, and the records of the Senate will show that a vote of thanks was tendered him for his services in the matter, Now that attention has again been called to the subject the Quarantine Hospital will probably be erected, as A Postilence Breeder. A correspondent makes complaint of a portion of Third avenue, near Harlom bridge, and states that it has not been cleanged within the past four months, and that it needs purification very badly, The gutters are fled with filth, garbage and greenish colored water, aud give forth a perfume that is not endurable by noses polite. ‘Tho inhabitants of the locality fear that pestilence may originate from the accumulations unless somebody re- moves them. Does the spot come within the duties of the new street cleaning contractors? If 80, they have for a long time neglected a duty which they shotld uot have neglected. The Condition of the Streets. THY CHARGES AGAINST THE CONTRACTORS—-THEIR SHOWING THE CONTRACT PLLY PERFORMED—ACTION OF TRE COM- MISSION, ETC. The Street Cleaning Commission held another meeting yesterday lo investigate the charges against the street cleaning contractors, Mayor Gunther prosiding and all the members present. The counsel for the contractors read the answer of his clients to the charges against thom, ‘This answer was a donial in folo of the charges. It stated that all the streets complained of were swept regularly, and gave the date of the sweeping of each street, which showed the work to have beon done in accordance w:th the contract, ex- cept where work was going on, such as the paving of a street, which prevented the sweepers from working. The Mayor asked if the counsel had any reason to doubt the reporis made to the contractors on which the denial was made. ‘The counsel replied. that he had not; that one of the foremen was present*and might be examined by the Commission. Mr. Berryman, the foreman of the work in the Fifth ward, then being called by the Mayor, stepped forward and testifled as to tho accuracy of the _roports from that ward on which the denial of the con- tractors reets. He had examined his memorandum made at the time the streets were swep om- ared it with the charges made by the’ Police d fouyd the charges unfounded. He is with the men from seven o'clock in the morning io balf-past five in the evening, except at dinner time. The streets are cleaned once a week regularly. John's -lane was cleaned regularly. In one week he took six undred and twenty-two loads of dirt from the-wayd. He always kveps a memorandum and makes a report froin it to the contractofa. Mr, Moore, foreman of the Fightcenth ward, was ex- amined and testified 1 there has been no street in the vavd that has not been regularty swept. once a week nce the contract commenced; that he follows the men every day from morning to evening. Several streets have been swept a much as four times a week, and Twonty-second street ig swept every day, from Fourth to Sixth nuo, The streets complained of being men- Uoned, the witness proved from his memorandum that they were regularly swept and the dirt carted from them ; the citizens say that the ward was never cleaner. Arthur Keating, foreman of the Second precinct, that there is no astreet.or alley in the ward not been cleaned regularly once a week the contractors fafrly commenced their He then produced bis memorandum, from which it appeared tbat the reports made to the Police Commissioners were untrue, The reason for the contra- dictions between bis reports and the Police Commission- era’ was probably owing to the policoryen making difter- ent reports of the streets at different periods; the men who relieved those who saw them swept at night report that they wore not swe; Mr. Debosh emt porn coneerning | ceded him. The Mayor stated that the Commi-sion bad come to the conclusion to require the contractors’ foremen to report the streets swept daily to (6 police. ia Recorder said this will obviate a great deal of dif- at ‘The counsel for the contractors said that the contractors are dete inined to see that the men under them do their duty; if the work is not properly done in any particular it i$ not the fault of the contractors. * The Commission stated that they will present the teati- mony to the Policy Commissioners, and if they cannot rebut it the charges will be dismissed, The Commission then adjourned. The evidence of the witnerses was dis- tinetly and clearly given, and calculated to completely rebut the charges, ‘of the Twentieth ward, testified ward to those who had pre- id the Cholera.

He ran into the room and said, ‘Mrs. Greene, what is the matte she roplied, “Mr. Greene has Killed ine; he has escaped— yon won't 6nd him!" At her request Mr. Kennedy ran for Dr. Beresford, who came immediately; but she was dead on bis arrival.

Union Course, L, I—Trotting. ‘The wagon mateh for $2,000, mile heats, best three in five, between the stallions George Wilkes and Commo- dore Vanderbilt, came off yesterday afternoon, over the Union Course. George Wilkes won the race, but not as easily as his backers anticipated; for Vanderbilt showed as much speed as the other in all the heais whem on a trot, and moro im the second heat, which he won after 4 vory bad break, making the last half mile of the heat in 2 but his great turn of speed seems of little use to his owner, as the horse will indulge in breake, and in that way lose every race where Le is matched with a horse of equal speed. Wilkes’ victory yesterday was a great one, and the third heat was as tine a contest, from beginning to end, as was ever witnessed, as there never was during the heat a neck’s difference between the stallions, and tho judges gave it ina dead heat. The time was capital, considering tho dead condition of the track and the un- pleasant state of the atmosphere, a halt gale sweeping over the track all the time the horses were in action. Vanderbilt, however, notwithstanding his defeat, has de- monstrated that he can trot a mile to a wagon in 2:30, and further controversy on that point has been at length brought to a conclusion. There was not a large number of poisons at the course; but this may be accounted for by the previous postponementa of the match, and the general belief that Wilkes would win easy, and that there would be no chance to speculate on the result. Asweepstakes followed the stallion trot, for which three pretty good roadstors contended and made a very interesting which lasted until dark. ‘The heats of the two trots came off alternately, Wilkes and Vander- bilt leading off. - Fivst Heat,—One hundred to thirty on Wilkes. The judges had a slight discussion as to which horse was en- titled to the pas, and they decided that as Wilkes had Won it previous to tho postponement of the trot on ‘Thursday last it was his by right now, And with Wilkes on the inside, and with alength the best of the send-oft, the horses dashed away from tho stand, The brown stallion opened the gap around the turn, and went to the quarter pole over two lengths im front in thirty-six and a half seconds, Immediately afterwards Commo- dore Vanderbilt broke up, and plunged until Wilkes was six lengths or more in advance. Wilkes passed the half- mile pole a long way ahead, in 1:14, and, trotting steadily along the lower turn, came on the homestretch half a dozen lengths in frout of his opponent. Mace, finding he had no chauce of overtaking the brown stallion, wisely took Vandorbilt in hand, seeing which Crooks cased up Wilkos, aud he came over the score a winner by three lengths, in 5. —One hundred to twenty on Wilkes, ‘The Seond He horses were od this ime head and head, and kept together half way aroand the turn, when Vanderbilt took afiight and stayed up until the Hambletonian was half longths away from him, Wilkes passed the pole in thirty-six and a haif seconds, and, keep- rap open, reached the half-mile pole i 1:14. uderbilt’ began trotting in carnest, closing the 1 around the lower turn and up the home- stretch, aud a more dashing style was never seen—some Of his strides, which were measured by Hiram Woodrutt, being eighteen fect eight inches—and he kept up the brush wit he had crossed the score, when the judges: decided that he had won the heat bya head. Time, 2:20. Vanderbilt made the last half mile of tho heat in 1:12. Third Heat,—One hundred to sixty on Wilkes was cur- rent at the start, The stallions left the scare with their heads tozether, and in going around the turn there was between them. They passed the quarter Vanderbilt a neck in front, and, becoming yokod together, went down the back: stretch and pasicd the hali-m'le pole head and head In 1:13. It was neck and neck around the lower turn, untif at the three-quarter pol» Wilkes broke up, but, ran ning briskly until he caught, did not lose an inch of ground. They came up the ‘homestretch at their top- most speed, Wilkes getting tho gad all the way, and croesed the Beore so near together that the judges decided adead heat, ‘Time, 2:2934. Woodruff was then induced to FP Hiram drive Wilkes, | ‘The betting was even on the result. ‘The horses had ay equal start, and they went around the turn head and head. They were thus at the quarter pole, in thirty-sever onds; but in an instant afterwards Van- derbilt broke, i that was the last of him, Ho plunged and jumped until Wilkes was two huudred yards aload, which, of course, he could not make up, and di tanced. ‘Time, 2:312¢.
