OASES IN THE TRUANT HOME ISLANDS. ae. NEWS FROM THE dee ke ‘The reports yesterday indicated an increase of chol- em, amd, 98 Before, the whole weight of the epidemic was borne by the lowest classes of the population. The ‘yory fithiest houses were the ones in which the cholera eudemie Droke out, and the wonder should be, not that hv has thue broken out, but that it ehould have delayed dong #0 until now, A VISIT 10 THE INPECTED HOUSES. ‘Avisit to one of the premises in which a group of ages baa broken out, will soon explain the cause, if not meceesity, for cholera. One of these, No, 39 Mulberry eemet, in which four persone of the same family were eelned with the disease, will satisfy any person of the @tm@e of filth in which many of the inbabitants of Sew York live. Walking up the stairs the nos- ‘tails are assailed by a combination of odors to amhich the “seven well defined stinks of Cologne’ wave as the perfumes of Araby the blest. The banis- ‘tar of the stair, and the wall, are encrusted with ‘Te accumulated dirt of years, black, greasy and sicken- aug to sight and scent, The rooms are, if anything in @ “werre condition. Frowsiness, odors of urine anda grand mafxture of all the filthy vapors that can arive from wn- ‘washed clothing, dirty kitchen utensils, stale meats and ‘vegetables, fill cach apartment, and rendor the scanty expply of air as odious ag if eacrementitions matter were @hrown apon the door. Surrounded by such fith, apd Wreathing the poisonous atmosphere it gencraies, are woveral families. Whether the health authorities intend 9 remove them or not cannot bé told. It is, however, quite certain that the mere sprinkling of euloride of lime ever the premises will pot suffice to rid them of their @zopurity. 11 is doubtfal if a week spent In hard ecrnb- ‘img will render them a safe habitation. Todepend upon ‘fhe residents for the cleaning of them will be to never Bave them cleaned, for those that live there appear equally as dirty as the premises, ‘TRE MORTUARY REFOUT te not yet completed; but enough iz learned to warrant ho statement that the number of deaths resulting from aholera will not be many figures removed from two han- @ved. Thie number is for the week ending yesterday evening, and includes the deaths which occurred in the ‘public institutions on the islande, as well as the mortality So the city. CAUSES OF EXCHSS IN DRATHS FROM CHOLPNA CAKES. ‘There are two causes to which the excessive mortality ean be attributed. The drst is the fact that in many Mmstances the pationts called im no pbyeicians until the @bolera or collapse had already taken the piace of the wremonitory diarrhea, In such cages not one in five @arvive a space vi twenty-four hours, But the second @anee is ubout the most serious, Many of the Manitary Inspectors are youthful and inexperienced phy- técians, who bave never before practiced their profes- mon during avholera epidemic. These young men are ‘to overy respect unfit to hold the responsible positions Wey now occupy. Their ignorance of the diseare har Gondtiovs caused many patients to die, who, under more ed pyagtionss§, would have recorored.

A Narration of Disgusting Places to Which the Attention of the Boards of Police and Health is Called. ke, &e. &e. Probably the citizens of thia city congratulated them- selves when the act of tho Legislature creating a Metro- politan Sanitary District became a law, on the be- Nef that everything that proved to be detrimental to pndlic health would be at once removed; that every man, woman and child that was living in squalor and filth were to have their faces washed at least once a day, and be provided with healthful lodgings and nourishing food; and that the greater nuisances of slanghter houses, fat boiling establishments, &c., were to be immediately Danished from the city domains, and as a conse- quence pure air and balmy breezes were to be the order of the day. But ales for the futility of baman calculations! Before the task imposed upon the Board of Health the fifth labor of Hercules appears insig- nificant, The breezes are not all balmy, and tho great “anwashed” etill exist with or without food as best they may, crowded together in unventilated apartments, in such squalor and misery ag almost to defy description. While there is a vast ocean of air around us which Provsos itself into all places, unless special pains ie taken to bar it out, civilized man alone of el! the earth’s in- habitanta disdains to sccopt the boundless blees- ing, It is a well known fact that five per cent or carbonic acid diffesed throughout the atmos- phero acts upon the system of those inhaling it as a@ narcotic poison; yet thousands live in overcrowded apartments that are incapable of ventila- tion, exhaling from their lungs at every breath that poi- son which day by day slowly but surely robs the robust of health, and predisposes the system to receive any form of epidemic disease which may be prevalent, Additional to this is the fact that the streets in front of such tencments are often filthy with stagnant water and decaying garbage, while the houses are in # iost un- cleanly condition, Tbese are the “cholera nesta,” where zymotic and febrile diseazee abound to an alarm- ing extent, and where, if contagion docs not come, it will not remain away because uninvited. Instances ip support of the foregoing statements are not wanting. me “Barracks.” At Nos, 31 and 33 James simet, near Madison ctreet, is a five story double tenant house, known in police circles aa the “Barracks,” which is occupied by twenty-three families, numbering seventy-two persons, The arrange- ment of apartments fn ali tenemont houses is about the game, 60 that a description of this will suffice for all.

FOLICE INTELLIGENCE, ‘Turcr oy A Cann Box.—A slippery customer, named Charles Hastings, ttenlthily entered the office of Mr. David Can, No, 140 Water street, yesterday afternoon, and, lifting atin cash box from the counter, Attempted toescape with it. Unfortunately for him he wamde- ‘tocted in the act, pursued and arrested with the box in his possession. The box contained a small amount of money and x check for several hundred dollars, the lat- ter of which, however, Hastings could not have made available, The accured was taken before Justice Dowl- bo te commitied to the Tombs for trial in default of Cangyise 4 Dancrrovs Wearoy.—An oiflcer of the Fifth precinct yesterday morning arrested Samuel Cum- mings, who was in a gross state of intoxication and bav- ing in bis possession a knife, the blade of which was about twelve inchos long, Cummings threatened to use the deadly weapon upon an unknown man, and the officer therefore charges him with wilfally postssing the knife with the intent to feloniously use the eame.

Re- becea iudignanily dented having taken the jewelry, but stated that she tGok the napkin, of course with the inten. tion of returaing it; or, perhaps, if she remembers rightly, it was done in # fit of abstraction, very much sitnilar to tbat of Jeremy Diddier's, when his hand was found in another man’s pocket, Iu default of bail she was torn fromm her congenial ewployment to find in durance vile “ other fish to fry.” Raw on 4 T11.—Charles Luther, of No. 135 Sullivan street, yesterday charged Henry Bock, # fair-haired young gitmin and a good representative of the great unwashed, with entering his store with another boy on pretence of eelling books, There was no one ia the store, and Master Bock, perhaps desiring toemnlate some of the light fingered heroes of light Nterature, abstracted all the steel engravings of Treasury velebritles that he could find within the drawer, Fortunately forthe complainant, only four of these ppecunens of art were found, repre- senting $Leach, Young tow-head was toted off to the inner chamber ina vory lathrymose mood, wearing on his face a purzied expreseion, as if he had not made up his mind whether to sweezo or snitfe, Reapy To Daye, Ber Waxnxe vo Carat tn Pree. — Martin Kats is fond of drink, fond of eating, and fond of Ming his cap and covering bis plato without retura to the providing hand, Friday night he went ont to gratily Lis ruling passion, Not long after he dropped imto a saloon kept by Edward Dunn, and ealied for a glass of ne, When ho had tipped the ate down his gnilet he vo in payment a spesious bank note on the Bunk of Clifton, Canada.
