WHAT FEAR OF THE CHOLERA HAS DONE FOR NEW YORK. ‘The following is an extract from the letter of Dr. E Harris, of the Bureau of Records and Vital Statistics, ‘transmitting the weekly report of mortality in this city to the Health Commissioners :— It is pleasant to notice the fact that zymotic and foul air diseases killed a less number of our fellow beings in this erty the last week than during the previous week; leo that the total mortality for the wock was less by thirty-two than the previous week. Terrible as tho fear of cholera may be, the work of cleansing that it induces will help to stay the ravages of thoee perpetual pesti- Jences which otherwise would continue year after year to sweep into untimely graves more victins than cholera ever claimed. The present condition of the public beaith in New York and Brooklyn, as indicated by studies prosecuted in this Bureau 18 a subject for con- @ratulation and thankfulness, OUR QUARANTINE. smefficient Quarantine for New York— The Proposed New Establishment on the West Bank—Estimated Cost of the Baildings. Precautionary measures for the provention of the spreading of contagious diseases in the Unned States and (apadas are everywhere being made; but the most ‘fpportant and necessary feature for the maintenance of the public health of our city, that of a suitable and well regulated quarantine, came nizh being overlooked alto- gether. It is absolutely certain, cholera or no cholera, ‘that stow York should have some place in or near its harbor where persons arriving on infected ships eould be placed, for the protection of our citizens from the im- portation of epidemical diseases, In view of this fact, @ short sketch of our present Quarantine, and a descrip- tion of the proposed new Quarantine upon West Bank, May not be deemed out of place. NEW YORK DESTITUTE OF A SUITABLE QUARANTINE. To the public at large, and more especially the en- Vghtened citizens of the proud and puissant metropolis of the Empire State, the fact may prove highly Interest- ing at this particular time (?) when we are threatened almost dally with a visitation of the dread Asiatic ovo le. Ta, that our otherwise well regulated city (2) is devoid of even so much as one small building, such as ip other feaport towns and cities is denominated @ ‘quarantine boxpital.”” ‘Thoro is, it is trae, an old hulk of a vessel— the Falcon—tmoored in the lower bay during the sickly season, which is capable of accnmmodating about seventy-five patients, bat, with this excep- tion, there t not even such a@ thing as @ khod where persons aMficted with contagious diseases could be placed for treatment, That the chief commer. chal city of the United States should be dependent upon a solitary sbip for a quarantine hospital, and that of bat spanty and limited proportions, poorly ventilated, and ill adaptod for convalescent purposes, is oot ouly a disgrace the whole country, bata lasting and a burning shane & the State; a foul blot upon the bright escuteheon of our city; an act of wilfal negligence on the part of our authorities, deserving the severest censire of the whole divilized world “Forewarned, forearmed,”” is an old and trite saying years aco passed into a proverb, and was regarded Dy many as an article of faith; but alas ior the gullibility of cnr citizens and the inevitable apd charaeteriatic pro- ‘cTaxtipation of our authorities whenever good is to be accomplished! ‘The admonitions and the teach ngs of the past have been disregarded, the mort logical and forcible counsellings of professional men have becn reck- ened as nought, and the result is that New York city to-day is without a proper quarantine, invites contagion, and lies exposed to the ravages of the cholera, or any ‘other epidemical disease that may be wafted to our shores This may appear startling, but it is nevertholess true, and what js still worse, there is not the slightest Prospect of a remedy being applied to the present wretched condition of affairs for at least another year. Should Governor Fenton sign the bill now before him srhich provides for the erection of quarantine Hospital on Wert Bank, it will require just one from the time of its becoming a law before the buildings wil! be ready for occupation. Driven from Staten Island fn 1855) we have never since known what it was to have an efficlem quarantine. We have been too long depend ent upon & single small ship for the preservation of the ealth of -his great metropolis, with ite million of inha- bitanta BOW WE OVERE DEPRIVED OF THE QUARANTINE HOSPITAL. Many years ago there was located at Tompkineville, Ftaico Island, © well regulated and commodiour hospital, which was used for the ospecial purpose of a quarantine for persons arriving at this port affected with contagious divonres. Itocoupiod a healthy and an excelicnt « was complete and perfect in ite ¥arious departments, and wax acreditable and well managed institution. A tribe of Staten Islanders, rejoicing in the euphonious robriquet.of Sepoys, who belonged to that region, im- Spinivg that the hospital was detrimental to their 'pro- periy, if not to their health, declared, in high dudgeon, thet the quarantine could not be tolerated; that it war an imposition upon their credulity, B post ous spot and a nuisance, and there. fore sould not with impanity longer defile the unirageour peecinets of their Elysiam. Thereupoa ‘ah, and with denunciations, imprecations mutterings which were ‘beard afar off, hanged sig wi other aad declared in the most phatic manner that oir bewwtiful island ahoutd bo rid of so foul a place at hazania The effervescence of brotherly love and Chrietian ebarity that welled up in their Cyelopean snd antioe hearts found yentdweing their wild Tartarian deuriuw aba fn bonfire; and (hue wae it first Quarantine Sepoy waron the det day of a Anne Nomi 1856. ‘The hogptial was burned to the growad, the helpless in- ‘Waid snamates Were carried out from the @ent to bombard Tom; o be of service, the enemy had won bid occasion entitle you to the respect of the world, and shoufd enshrine your memory ¥a imperishable glory and Protection aiiga their ears’ wth a n, oir ‘and, strong presented a firm, bold and courageous front to the sol es of the National Guard—not one, of the Sepoys was to be seen daring the day—who Were sent down to that region with slittering bayonets b/d wide mouthed cannons to sup- press the revolution‘and bring the insurgents under sul jection. But the Sepoys were not to be awed so easily; ‘neither were they Yo be deterred from maintaining their just and lawful rights (?) As it was an old axiom with them that mig/ut makes right and must prevail, they ab- solutely discyrded the Napoleonic maxim of Providence favoring the side of the heaviest artillery, and although they did new even a small howitzer, they hero! ally and steadfastly refused to submit, and uncomplain: ingly en@ured the affliction of having troops quartered in their ‘midst who all the while spent more money op the island than the Sepoys had ever seen before, but to this day that Spartan band have never been conquered. ‘Their High Mightinesses the Mayor and Commonaity of teen properly aud’ gloriously vindicated, declared. by h gloriously vin ec! Deociateahinn that the war had terminated with credit to our arms, and withdrew our victorious legions, leavin; the hes 9 in undisputed possession of the island. Ne: it be added that the government property thus destroyed has never yet been paid for by the Sepoys? Nor has the hospital ever been rebuilt; but the large tract of ground once so profitably occupied has eince then lain an idle and desolate waste. Burned out at Tompkinsville, the State, to oblige the mutinous Sepoys, removed the Quarantine to Seguin’s Point the following year, where they erected a few tem- porary sheds, contemplating at some future time to build a permanent hospital. But the Samaritan Sepoys had vowed that the Quarantine should not be located on their island, and, whatever else their faults and shortcomin; they deserve the credit of having kept their word. ‘The same scenes precisely were enacted at Seguin’s Point as at Tompkinsville. The sheds were fired, the attendants had to flee for their lives, and we were fairly driven from off the island, despite our vaunted strength and love of law and order, and New York was ‘thus forcibly deprived of a quarantine hospital. OUR PRESENT QUARANTINE. Since the time that we surrendered our rights so igno- miniously we have been obliged to content ourselves with a rotten and dangerous old bulk of a vessol, easily digni- fied by imagination into something handsomo, by the ‘high sounding title of a ‘Floating Hospital.” The Fal- ‘con was purchased in 1859 and converted into a hospital ship, since which she bas done much good service in that line. Old when bought by the State, she is quite rotten now, anid it was only last fall, during a violent northeast storm, and while the cholera pauients from the Atalanta ‘were yet on board of her, that Feat fears were enter- tained lest she should founder. Such were the apprehen- sions at-that time excited for the vessel’s safety that Dr. Swinburne, the Health Officer of the port, rode over to the Point the following morning to ascertain whether or ‘not the Falcon was still afloat, expecting all the while to find that the vessel and all on board had gone to tho bottom. His fears were not realized, however; but this shows pretty conclusively that, when such fearful mis- givings could be awakened 1n regard to hor weathering a storm in the bay, something must be wrong with the ship, and that sbe is, undoubtedly, unfit for longer ser- vice. The Falcon, so far as available, is good enough in fine weather; but it must be borne in mind that she can accommodate but seventy-five, and, by dint of much crowding, one hundred patients, at most. What, then, would be done ina case similar to that of the steamer England, where there were over one hundred sick and one thousand = healthy passengers? What if we had half a dozen such ships as the Falcon anchored inthe bay? Are hospital ships all that is required to guard against the spreading of contagious diseases and to prevent their reaching the city? Vessels arriving here from infected ports, or with sickness on board, between the Ist day of April and the Ist day of November, are, by law, compelled to remain at quarantine for at least thirty days after their arrival, or as much longer as the Commissioners of Quarantine may prescribe. Persons arriving on board of such vessels, even if ina perfectly healthy condition, are subject to a quarantine of the same duration. Where, then, are those persons to be placed until the period allotted for puritication shall have expired? Are they to be crowded among the sick on board of a hospital ship, or are they to be allowed to remain on board of the infected vessels upon which they may chance to arrive? They cannot be permitted to come to town, neither will it do to place such persons among the sick, and it is obviously certain that if forced to remain on board of the vessele npon which they ar- rive it would but tend to and promote the needed, and is the estab- encourage spreading of the disease. What tx most what we should have ag soon as signature est our readers, Having been expel! Island, and refused nds at Sandy Hook and other piaces by the gone jovernment, the tine Com- missioners finally resolved to erect suitable buildings on submerged grounds belonging to the State, and selected for that purpose the shoal of sand in the lower bay known as West Bank. SITE OF THE PROPOSED QUARANTINE. To the myriads of who have through the Narrows om their way to Coney Island and Sandy Hook ‘the storm- ide tho thousands of rich freighted in and out of our i about two miles in lower end, and running down below Fort Tompkins, Tho do} ‘ove to twelve foet, with an average feet; bu: where the buildings are to be located er dow water, will be almost dry. In the channels, on et side of the shoal, the water is very deop, running from twelve to forty fathoms, and this so near to the shoal ced soaks can convententiy land their passengers and freight. The site of the proposed quarantine on Woat Seeks be Soa at de. ea coir one a ct T such & purpose, imirably adapted for tanitary purposes and the aposty cnvascelice et oa eons suffering from in‘ectious complaints. The cup de @il i# most ititul, embracing the whoie of the lower bay, with the verdant highlands of Navesink, the and beach of Coney Island, the sinuous line of the >taten Island shore, studded with neat cottages and embowered villas, and in the distances the broad expanse of Old Ocean, coaselossly lashing the sandy beaches of Sandy Hook and Rockaway. Here, on these submerged sands, will be erected three buildings, each Ubree hundred and twenty feet long, two hundred and twenty feet wide, and Six _biindred feet apart, Th dings will be constructed on wharves ef wood , Known to masons and builders as “crib work,”” which consists of immense eribs of wood securely fast ened and joined together by tron clamps and braces, filled with huge blocks of stone end ‘hen sunk and em bedded into the yielding sand. Each crib will be thirty feet in diameter at the bottom, twenty feet at the top, decked over with concrete masonry, aud will be placed thirty feet apart, thas permitting a steady and constant tideway beneath the piers. The buildines will occupy that portion of the Bank dying between duoys numbers eleven and thirteen, in the following order:—Number one, or the nearest building to Staten Island, will be the “hospital ;"’ number two, or the one occupy ing the con taut position, will be known ax the “hotel ; number three, or the structure turthest removed from the city, the “‘storebouse.’ arrow point a little of water varies of only eleven the Of woo, one story in it, and will accommodate about three handred pa. tients.” It is to be built upon the “pavilion plan,” and will consist of ten separate buildings, al connected by a central corridor, and @ach apartment or wing will be de- Voted to various purpos-s, and will be known as the dis. infecting, fumivating and physicians? quarters, while be not aside for the nse of the cooks, nurses, ire building will be fied wp with all the ippurtenances necoswary for the comfort ef the he wards will be spacious and ventilation ex- t is estimated that this building alone will cost about $421,000. The second - ‘Will be occupied by the “hotel.” building is to be six hundred feet south of t ‘hospital,’ in a direct line, and is thus located on account of the pre- valence of southerly winds during the summer, and which, if it occupied the site of the hosptal, would sub- 4 it inmates to the infected air which would be wu into the building. It is to be two stories in height, will accommodate one thousand persons, and will have apartments for physicians, oMfecers, servants, &e All persons arriving on vessels infected with cholera, but who have not had the disease, will be sent to this build- ing for a apecified time. Convalescents will also be kept there, but ip a separate part of the house, until it is safe for them to leave | “The cost of the ‘hotel’ will be about $436, The warehouses will be erected on the third pier, and Will be one story in height. This building will be used entirely for the purpose of storing goods or merchandise from infected vessels while such vessels are dorng quar- antine duty and the ne purification. Unlike the hospital and hotel, which are under the jurisdiction of the State, the warehouses will be controlled by the U ecg sesiee government, soserding to ma aa reculations, and will probably be guarded arbor police or by detachments of soldiers from the noighbor- ing forts, The United States will have to purchase the nd whereon to build the warehouses from the State York, erect the buildings at the oy ment The estimated cost of the Warehouses is about § 163.
