I beg to call your particular attention to the import- ance of the allotinents of ground. ‘This, in reality, is the formation in embryo of the exbibition. The selections of products will be limited in quantity to the area they are to hay, A but in variety and character they should comprise a full and fair representation of Amer! pro- ducts, industry, art and science. To make these setec- tions and the allotments of space for them is the work which now devolves upon Mr. Derby, and for the setec- tions it ix not probable that any one man could be as competent as severul—cach chosen for his knowledge in difforent departments. When tho applications are all in and the work prepared the selections and intments, which must proceed together, will occupy but little time, The attention of the government, I trust, will be given to this, and suitable persons invit to assist Mr. Derby for The Navy.

The United States steam gunboat Florida arrived at this port yesterday, from Norfolk, Va., having in tow the old ordnance ships Ben Morgan and Roman, which are brought to this port to be soid at auction. THK UNITED STATES SHIP MONONGAHELA. The United States sloop-of-war Monongahela, which has been for several months past undergoing repairs at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, will probably go into commis- sion the ensuing weck. It was first intended to send her to the Mediterranean; but her destination will be to a squadron where her services will be moat in demand. TO BH DISCHARGED. It is rumored among the mechanics of the Navy Yard that within a short time two thousand of them will be discharged. The retrenchment will take place among those who for the Jast four years, during the war, have enjoyed the benefit of good situations without doing any duty in the active forces of the army and navy. All the employes who have served in the army and navy and were lonorably discharged are to be retained. VETERAN reme Cor j—Chambers. Before Judge Clerke. DECREK OF DIVORCE SET ASIDE FOR INFORMALITY. The case of Pentland vs, Pentland, which was one where the husband, a wealthy resident of this city, ap- . plied for an absolute divorce from his wife on the ground of adultery, was up inthe above-court yesterday after- noon. The question had been referred to a reforee to take proof, and a report was made tn favor of granting the husband a decree of divorce. ‘This report was coufirmed by the court, but owing to an informality in the manner of entering up judgment, and also in consequence of a failure to notify the opposite party, application was made to vet aside the decree by the defendant's counsel. To make the question more embarrnssing, it appears that since the contirmation of the decree of divorce the hns- band has married again, relying upon the legality of the dissolution of the bond with his former wife.

Proposed Querantine Cholera Mospital at Sandy Hook, Wasminaron, Nov. 13, 1865. ‘The War Department has appointed a commission of three surgeons, with Surgeon C, 8. Tripler, United States army, at its head, to confer with the civil authorities of New York in relation to the erection of quarantine eholora hospitals at Sandy Hook, Now York, and to re- Port whether such hospitals can be established without detriment to other interests involved.

The cabin passengers still are on board, and complain very much of the detention. A strict quaran- tine is being enforced by the commissioners. LETTRE FROM THE RESIDENT PHYSICIAN. In answer to the protest of the passengers on board the Atalanta I would beg leave to reply that, so far as‘I am individually concerned, I have made every effort in my Power for their relief, by constant labor in their behalf, since the hour of their arrival atthe port. If I have failed up to the present time im accomplishing the object desired, it is because I have mot received the aid from government, either State millions on shore; and I wiah it distinctly understood that I consider every death occurring after the arrival in port that could have been prevented as unnecessary sacrifices of life; but, having used every means in my poree tebe the proper protection, T am not respon- le for it. LEWIS A. SAYRE, M. D., Resident Physician, ‘195 Broanway, Nov. 12, 1865. THE SANITARY POLICK. ‘The following report from Captain 8. G. Lord, of the Sanitary Police, was to-day transmitted to the Board of Police :— Cextrat Derarrurst, Mxrrovontay Lia Orrick ov Saxtrany Comarasiox. To rae Honoramie tuk Boarp oy Mxrroroutay Po- tor :— GuxTimwEN—Sinco the arrival of the ship Atalanta In the Lower Bay, containing what are reported to be cases of cholera, T have taken all precautionary measures at my command to prevent its introduction into this city. The members of my command have been vigilant in examining and reporting daily the condition of all tene- ments or premises which, in their opinion, may be detri- mental to the health of the public. With a small increase to iny present force, #0 as to be able to enforce strict rules of cleanliness in the domicils, the daily advice and counsel of the Medical Bureau, the co-operation of the police force and a more thorough sys. tem of removing the filth and garbaze from the streets, there need be but little fear of the cholera reaching this city. During the past week there have been reported, and notices served for cleaning eighty-three houses, one hun- dred and fifty-one sinks, forty privies and water closets, thirty-nine yards, twenty-nine sewers and cellars, two slaughter Thouses, twenty-four areas and alleys, three vacant lot, ten cesspools and cisterns and one stable, and for the repairing of eighteen sidewalks, nineteen wastepipes, one coal vanit and three hydrants. The number of places returned as cleaned and re- paired under previous notices are:—Ten houses, three hundred and cigheen sinks, twenty-three privies and water closets, sixteen yards, seventeen sewers, thirteen cellars, four’ areas and alleys, three cesspool and cis- terns and eight sidewalks, nineteen wastepipes, one coal vault, aud three hydrants repaired, All of which is respectfully submitted. BOWEN G. LORD, Captain Sanitary Company, PREVENTION is BETTER THAN CURK. TO THE KNTOR OF THE BRRALD. ‘The efforts made by the passengers of tho Atalanta to obtain permission of landing naturally excite alarm in some quarters. However unpleasant their present posi- tion may be, and however deeply we sympathize with them, the adoption of the most stringent measures is ro- quired to prevent the epidemic taking root here. Once introduced, no one can tell what character it may assume, and whether it could be controlled. It has baffled the skill of the most promiuent medical men, whose limited knowledge of the scourge has nothing positive in it. One thing seems to be certain—that it sottles mostly in filthy, miasmatic localities. In Europe such as also the interior walls of bouses, have been inkled with eres Peppermint tea, alcohol, &c., have been resorted to; but, as xaid before, we have no positive remedies. The hypothesis that it originated near Mecea, where pilgrims to the number of about three hundred thousand held their annual festival, and, ac- cording to old usages, each sacrificed a lamb, ‘throwing the intestines in the open fields, where ap Asiatic sun would surely breed the moet terrible of pests, may be correct. The French and Turkish governments have sent commissioners to the spot to investigate the mat- tor, which may throw some light upon the subject. That the scourge would travel with rapidity over the European Continent is quite natural; but that it wonld come to us in not probable, if we take precautions to prevent ita im- ortation by vegsela coming from infected districts. at ig the duty of our authorities in the premises? Certainly to enforce the most rigid measures to prevent this unpleasant visitor's coming among us—yes, even to close the ports to all vessels coming from tufected parts of Europe for the time the epidemic rages there. Lot the passengers of the Atalanta be patient, for the inte Tests of humanity demand precaution on our part, and let our proper authority enforce the most stringent mea- sures, 8o that the seed of cholera will not be planted in onr community. The public will sustain them. Let or streets be thoroughly cleaned, and we may escape the terrible consequences which might result from careless ness on the part of the authorities who have the inatter in hand. Prevention is better than cure. HUMANA. A MUNICIPAL SANITARY HOARD. In view of the threatened visit of the cholera to this country and city jt stands the authorities io hand to make every preparation and to leave no project untried that promises to stay the coming of the pestilence or mitigate its dire results when it arrives. What is most imperatively needed for the present and fature wants of our city isa commission similarly constituted and ap- pointed to onr Police Board, with all the power neces. sarv to compel at once such changes in the tonement buildings already erected as may be necessary for the admi: of light and air, and to probibit their farther construction unless both of these essentials are thoroughly regarded. There ares many thousand of peo- ‘ple living in our city where no human being ongbt to be allowed to hive, and this commission should have power to prevent the occupancy of such tenement houses. All matters connected with the domicila of the people, such as cleanliness, the lighting of the halls and stairways of tenement houses at night, fire escapes, &c., should also be referred to them, with all the power to enable them to do or have done everything that needs to be done to protect the life, health and morals of the community. All the necousary enactments should be sought for from the Legislature at the earliest period of ite coming ses- sion, Our nt laws and Boards of Health are « sham Certain it is they have done nothing.

COMMON PLEAS-—-CHAMBERKS, Before Judge Cardozo. The German Protevant Dutch Church ws. Abraham Berky, Pastor.—This case involves a curious dispute be- tween a congregation and its pastor. The defendant, Abraham Berky, was for some time pastor of the Ger- man Protestant Duich church, and after ceasing to per- form the dnties of minister continued to occupy the parsonage and refused to leave it, The congregation thereupon had recourse to a summary proceeding to aject the reverend gentleman, applying to City Judge Russel for the necessary papers and ordera, Before Judge Russel could decide in the proceedings an injunc- tion was granted by one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas restraining the defendants from further proceedings before the City Judge. The defendants Moved to vacate this injunction on the papers, and the Rev. Mr. Berky applied for leave to amend his complaint without prejudice to the injunction. The case was argued quite fully by Eldriage . Gerry for the defendants, and Peter Y. Cutler for plaintiff. Decision reserved. The French Church and Its Elections. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT.

Alles and others, who claim to have been duly elected on the 17th of last April, and that they are prevented from taking office by Mr. Pierre La Coata and others, who continue to exercise the duties of church wardens and vestrymen without any elective appointment or other authority. The matter causes nite an excitement, and it is expected will occupy many 5 in its trial. Court of Appeals. Aunany, Nov. 13, 1866. PARTNERSHIPS IN VESSELS. Geovge Donnell ct al. ve. Louise Walsh et al.—Thie was an action brought to recover one-half part of a balance of certain moneys received by the defendants as agents of the owners of the brig Crimea, for the freight and demurrage of that vessel. This court held that when a vessel ix owned by several persons in shares thay are tenants in common as to the ownership wf the vossel, but partners in respect to the earnings of the same; that as partners in the earn- ings, all shoul be joined in an action to recover for fr earned by such vessel; but that for defects aria- ing from the non-joinder of plaintiffx, advantage must be tal under the code, by answer of demurrer; and that an answer upow the merits waives all objections on that account REVERSAL OF & SUPREME COURT DECISION IN RR- GARD TO ALLOWANCES BY A BOARD OF STATE AUDITORS. The State of Michigan ve, the Phoni Bank of the City of New York.—This action was brought by the plaintiff to recover from the defendants $35,653 74 and interest thereon, which had been allowed by a Board of State Auditors to the defendant upon false and fraudulent rep- resentations made to said board by the agents of the de- fendant, and which «um had been paid over on such allowance. This court beld that an award by a board of State auditors, obtained on an ex parie hearing upon a felicitous and groundless claim, may be impeached for fraud and imposition on the part of the claimant. Also that money paid under such an award may be reeovered back, on establishing the fraud, to the extent that the State has been damaged by the wrong. The jndgment of the Supreme Court at the general term was reversed. THE KIGHT OR TENANTS HOLDING OVER. Calvin 1, Chamberlain et al. vt. Cyrus Pratt.—Thia was an action to recover the possession of « printing press, types and implements adapted to the printing of a coun. try newspaper, and which had been used for such'pur- pose. This property was held by parol lease for the r, and the defendant had been holding over for some months, when the return of the property was demanded. The defendant refused to return the property, on the ground that, by being permitted to hold over the term, without notiee, &e., he became a fron to year. But this court held that the law fegarding » person holding over by consent after the expiration of bis term, a6 a tenant from year to year, is only applicable to leases of real property LIAMILITY FOR THE PAYMENT OF SROMISSORY NovES. Jacob Billington ve. James Wagoner et al.—This was an action upon a promissory note mare by the defemdant James Wagoner—the othor defendants boing sureties— and payable to the plaintiff. The defence was that the action was prematurely commenced, and an agreement was established by proof between the pimintiff ead the defendant Wagoner, by which the payment of tie note in suit wae to be postponed for several months, which period had not ela} at the time of the commescement of this action plaintit sought to avoid the force and effect of such agreement by showing it was asurious and void. Onwhich the court held, first, thas the d fence of usury could only be set up by the’ party boun: by the original ment to pay the or by the sureties, heirs, devinees or personal representatives of snob party; and, serond, that the esurer himself could not avoid the force and effect of his own consract on the plea that it was usurious and void, Thos. $. Beals, Bereutir, &c., ve Simam Benjamin ot al.—Thia action was brought to recover the amount ap- pearing to be due upon certain promissory notes. The detence was usnry ; and it was attempted to be austamed by proof that the plarntif, as a Gepositor of defencant’s: money, &c., had charged exchange in addition to lawful interest, ‘The court held that a contract of loan was not rendered usurious. by a separate and distinct agrsement and uaderstanding between the parties; that the lender ta to receive the ta of the borrowee and keep them ately, and pay them over on demand, on condition thad the notes discounted shall be paid in the city of New York, by means of which an exchange of one-half of one por cent was realized by the lender on the sraount of paper thus diveounted That whem the rela. ton of the party as 4 borrower is distinet from that of Adepositor the two relations would: not be confounded for the pw ‘of estalmishing (he oxistease of usury. That when the facts of the case show a sufficient rea son for the payment of the discounted notes in a distant city, as the cost of exehange other than for purposes of profit to the lender, and an inducement to him te make the lean, they may be taken into consideration. @ deter. mining the character of the transaction, om Fire.

To-day the sbaft, fity feet long-and fifteen’ inches through, was taken out and removed to the Navy Yard.

DESTROYING A RAILROAD: Mr. Moon, a government railroad man, hes arrived with a gang of men, commissioned to tear up the rail- road track between here and the old Chesapeake and Hampton hospitals. This traek was. Isid to facilitate transportation of wounded and supplies to the hospitals, and in its time has been of inestimable serviee. For 4 long time different private parties have had use of the track for rumning passenger horse cars, after the style of city horse cars, except a greatly increwsed tariff of charges. It has been a fiuely paying enter. prise to those private parties, and they are in avery lachrymose state at this suddem and unexpected losing of their occupation and profits. 1 ‘should state that # portion of the track was laid during the mulitary command of Major General Dix, and its present takimy up is understood to have been pursuant to the request of various persons owning the land traversed by the road. MORE FRUITS oF THE LATE GALE. The Saltella, owned in New York, but coming frone Bristol, Rhode Island, has come to Norfolk in distress, In the lute gale she met with very rough handling, having lost nearly all her sails and her anchors besides She parted with her anchors off Sand Shoal, near Smit! Island, and therefore was driven high and dry on shore, whore she remained two days. All the crew fortunately escaped with their lives, but the ship is little better thaa @ complete wreck.

CANNON EXPLOSION, A thirty-pounder Parrott, while being tested. to-day by some oificers of the fort, exploded, scattering the iraz- ments about widely, but burting no one, happily. The cannon, like all newly arrived ones, was only being sub- mitted ‘to the ordinary prescribed test, and is the: fifth that has exploded here within the last three months. Fortkes Monroe, Nov. 12, 1466. Two steamers, the Moneka, from Charleston, 8. C., for New York, and the William P. Clydé, from) Wilmington, also for New York, put in here this morning for coal, which being obtained from government supplies, they re sumed their voyage. No special news is brought by either steamer, Hoth experienced rough weather and head winds, Some thirty-tive miles this side of Hatteras the Moneka saw a small si heel steamer, with bell Painted black and wheelbouses white, partiy sunke and evideutlya wreck. It was believed there was no one on board, a8 no response wax made to the Moneka’s signals.

DAVIS The execution of Captain Wirz, Lam told, bax had. no. marked effect upon the spirits of Jef. Davis, “The government need not have gone far to. hang many: worse men,”’ he is quoted as saying on the subject— a remark supposed to have been elicited by his un- doubted admiration of the tan in refusing, even at the chance of saving his own neck, to implicate Davis in the Andersonville atrocities, Whatever drew. ont the remark it told all he had to say m.the case. There is none the less anxiety to have his own trial com: menced, but rather an expectation, and increased hope that it will be begun speedily, If he has any diminished confidence as to the result of such trial his looks or his words do wot show it, He talks of ordinary topion with his usual vivecity and keenness of utterance. For instance, he has given his views of the Fenian movemend in three words. “Would you like to have my opinion of Fenianiam?* (suddenly starting up from a reverie of several minutos he asked an office “Very much, sir.’ the officer replied, You shall have it in. three words,” spoke out Davin, 8 eyes sparkling at what he evidently deemed the terse sprighttiners of bis obser and goleran sageness of bi verdict:—lt'sa bubble; and three times he re- peated the remark, as if to give th more cogency and:im- pressivencss.
