The protracted duration of thie in Russia, and is Iimitation to the present ( lar as Europe 18 Concerned) 10 Lae provinees of that empire, is a phenomenon of very rea terest in the history of the epidente diuTuaous of choiers, From the close of 180%, the presenee of the former years, when it made such havoc here, it had by this time of the season filled half its graves, and established its ragn BEYOND ALL HUMAN POWER to suppress it. As will be rememberea, Its first at- tacks always came at the close of spring and that its epidemical course did not cease until the first cool and frosty days of the fall, There is not, as has been said, a probability that ‘the city shall suffer this year, all things cousidered; but it must at the same time be remembered wat there 1s such a thing as INVITING DISEASE to come when it might have stayed away. The cholera travels sometimes at an enormously fast pace, and this is one chief reason why, so long as it 3s spreading in Europe, New York should at least mot forget that it is possible for 1t yet to come. Phy- cians here, who have been anxiously watching its course so far this year, are now feeling ess trouble about it, but they base their main calcuia- tions on the presumed fact that it would be well nigh impossibie fori to travel over here and do much fatal work before the fall, At all events, they counsel the use of the best PREVENTATIVES AGAINST ITS PRESENCE, especially at the start, and these are cleanliness— cleanliness In dwellings. in person and in the public streets and wholesome fooa, A HERALD reporter yesterday visited a number of Streets in those parts of the city wherein generally tenement houses prevail. He tound the streets generaily in good condition, but at the same time there were evidences of neglect in many places. Poois of stagnant water may occasionally be seen, with boys amusing themselves by wading through them; garbage and filth, in front of houses, though 3m small quantities, may also be seen frequently. There were but very few places in the Eleventh, Sev- enteenth and E1gutcenth wards in which any offen- sive odor emanated. Baxter, Mulberry, Roosevelt and Cherry streets seemed to be cleanly; West and South streets, aloug the river, 80 far as could be seen, did not present any unsightiy objects. In Baxter aud MuiLerry streets, it Was said, Une atmosphere early every moraing is stifing, owing to the numbers of rsons who are crowded into small rooms, and ere any DISFASE MIGHT FEAST ITSE The reporter called at the office of the Street Cleaning Commission, in Mulberry street, to ascer- tain some particulars on the subject. In the course of conversation with one of the attacaés of the Place it appears that the garbage, &c., is removed from in front of every house daily, bat thatif the occupants in the tenement houses bave not thrown the garbage invo the burreis in ume lor the carts they ‘throw it in the barrel or any where in the street, and there it must remain until next morning. As to the stagnant water in the streets, 1t was ex- lained that the existence of stagnant water in he street necessarily supposes an tmperiection in the paving or gutters, and over tims the Street Cleaning Commission has no power, it commg under the jurisdiction of the Board of Works, who must be notified. Then, again, in tne case of ‘dead dogs, cats or other animals, the policeman on daty te Obl ged to notlfy his precmet as to such nuisance; the precinct then notifies the Commissioner of Dead Animals (or some such utle), who then causes the removal. This way of doling things is @ little cir- cumlocutory, and might be umproved; but it 1s adiitied on all sides that in those wards in which there are a large number of tenement houses it 1s almost impossible to keep the streets thoroughly clean and to prevent offensive odors, for te occu ants OF the houses ac: recklessly. ‘The iollowiug Wil show HOW THE STREET C Street swept every nigh tery 1o Twenty-sixth Strect.

The Journal de St. Pvdrebourg Of Uhe 21st says:— “The Police Gazette, of St. Peterspurg, publushed on | the 18th imst., geves the Following return of cholera cases:—Parients, 51s; Rew cases, 61; 2%, The ame newspaper stated that on the 1th 1s to watch over the health welfare of | the kingdom; and we Ourselves have spared no pains to bring the diferent facts which would throw light upon tee probaple fuvare of the ep cemic to the Knowledge of the proiession. As yet we have no cern information the malady har become actively migratory, aod that it has ex tee ted across the Russian frontier into West and Central Europe. But that this danger is manent, and has been imminent at any period since the winter of 1809 is certain; and i is Weil that the daily press should have raised the question of the slate of our protectedness against the epilemic. Upon this question we dO HOt propose pow ww dwell further than to remark that Mt 18 one upon Which no doubt can rest as to the duties of the loca! authorities, Who are responsible for the admia- istration of the santlary laws, The tmstructions which from time to time have been isstied for Unet guidance by the Privy Council, in respect to the action required from them when cholera is present or imminent, are as ample as precise in detail; and the provistons of the Sanitary uct, 1806, give vo local authorities the power of carrying out he more im- portant of these imstructions in relacton to preven- ton, irrespective of any order of Council. —Lance, Debates in the British Parliament on the Ap- prehended Approach of Cholera, On the 27th ult. the apprehended approach of the cholera was brought up before the House of Lords by the Earl of CARNARVON, Who desired, as the Session, he hoped, was approaching a close, and as there was @ considerable pressure of public busi- ness, to put a question on a matter which concerned the lives and the health of the people of this country, It had been stated that the cholera, which had repeaicdiy visited us, was raging in some parts of European Russia, and was steadily moving in a westerly directiof. It appeared, from a statement of the Registrar General, that it had broken out in a town in Poland, was extending, and might be expectea to reach Germany witnin two or three weeks at the outside, He was not aware whether this was a Iresh importation of cholera from Persia, or whether, as was to be hoped, it, was a renewai of a pestilence which existed in that part of Europe four or five years ago and had showed signs of occasional ex- istence. The government had probably made inquiries of the Prassian and other German courts On ints point. Me had po great opinion of the 1ate vention of the government in matiers of this kind, but some action was desirable, as cholera was, if not wholly, yet partially preventible. A com- mission sat last winter or the year betore on water supply, and cholera had generaily been found to follow the line of great rivers, whether or net because the water carried the infection he would not say, but water sup- ply had certainly an imporiant bearing, and de- manded the closest atteniton. He feared It was too muc!i to expect any action to be taken by the gov- ernment this year as tu tls or as to the measures recommended by the Sanitary Commissiva; tor valuavle time had been allowed to go by, and the goverament could scarcely now, by dmt of the utmost energy, hieve any satis. lactory result. He trusted, however, that tuey would communicate with the local authorities, Issue the regulations necessary on such occasions, and leave nothing undone which could hinder the entrance of the disease, or which, In case of tts entrance, could cireumscribe its operation The general course had been to deal with the pestitence, when too late to prevent it, under the influence of panic rather than of weil-consiaered measures. He | Wished to know, therefore, what steps the govern- ment had taken, or intended to take, before the close of the session. The Karl of Kini YY, replying in the absence of the Marquis of & a3 giad the novle Earl bad put the question, because the existing alarm seemed to him untounded, to this extent Jeast, that the prevalence of cholera im Russia ana’ the bor- ders of Poland was by no means a new fact. It had existed im Russia for wo years, and ever since last August in St. Petersburg, Where there had been arecent increase in the number of cases, which, however, | his information was correct, were lower than the number some months ago. ‘The ouly fact | of an alarming nature Was that cholera had appeared | im Wind Which Was, Of cours» nearer to us chan | St. Petersburg. He ‘understood it had been there Siuce last April, and also im tue western provinces of Russia. He did not mean to say that there was ho necessity for taking cognizance of the existence of cholera or no ground for tearing that tt my 2 tend w the rest of Europe, out go new faces had arisen within a recent period, aud the disease having existed two yenrs In thay part of Europe and nearly ayear in St. Petersburg, there was, at all events, reason to he pe that it might not ex:end beyond its present limits, No intelligence had reached the goverament of any case having occurred in Ger- Inany. Our representauv in the German empire fad been directed to make — special inguries and to report whether any case had ocenrred in Germany, and whecher the goveriments were taxing any special precautions. Me agreed with tie noble Earl that it was tar better t adopt precattions when not under the | influe of panic, though it was usnally only then iat anything was done by local authorities wo abate bwisauces and take the precautions within our power. The power of te central government to enfurce any cousideravie precautions was very snail. All that could be done was to warn ti Jocal authorities, who had been coustant, urged to take precantions, and hat veen fu nisned with fuil Information as to their nature. Toe Privy Council would keep their attention fixed to the subject, and would do all in thelr power to induce the Jocal authorities to remove nuisances, as on their active exertions so much depended. The waier supply Was no doubt an important matter, for in the opimon of Many Competent persons 1t was through the wafer that the seeds of cholera were «fused. This vneory might, indeed, tarn out erroneous, but if Was at present by lar the most plausible, being supported by tacts of ereat Weight, 80 that every reasonable person musi be anxious for ie purity of the water supply and its protection from any intuston ot sewage matter, A measure Was how passing through the oiher House for bringing anuer one authority the sanitary powers now divided the Home Office, the Privy Counci! and Law Board. He beheved that when the: Were tins concentrated and the attention of authorily given entirely to the subject, useful re- forms in the law and in the carrying out of sanitary Mn provements would be devised, among the Poor The Bar, of Shaftesbury hoped the attention of tie government would coutinue to be directed to the matter, and that the local authorities would attend to the flusaing of the sewers and other precautions.

He hud no doubt cholera was Imbibed through Joul water, bat wheiter tits was the case or not thousand other diseases certainly were, and Unis largely accounted for the lamentable state of heaith ot large numbers of the people im some paris of the Inetropolis, Another question Was the consolidation of sanitary powers. sir Charles Adderiey had intr tinced inio the other House a consotidauon bill of 420 clauses, Iv certainly could not pass this year, Wak the eurliest atrenion of the government should be directed to these social and domestic questions, which bad far greater evlect on the morais, the alarin at present the public Wy strictly guarded and watcied fo Shall be removed further away.

Mercier, aud seen the certifled copy of the decree tssued on the 23d of September, 1870, by the government of National Defence, the adckress of the Procureur General, dated the 1otu inst. and the docu- ments to which it refers, the address todged by him this day, aud the fifth article of law of the 27ch of April and the 25th of May, 1791, articles 78, 80, 81, 82 and 53 of the denatis Con- suitum of the 16th Thermidor, year 10, aud me articies 50, 54 55 and 66 of the law of the 20th of April, 1810; considering that the } discipline of the magistracy organized by the laws above referred to constiiutes a spectal jurisdiction of which the exercise has veen divided between the Ministry of Justice, the Courts of First Instance, the Courts ot Appeal and the Court of Cassation; that the various prerogatives conierred by the luws, on the Ministry of Jusitce belong to this kind of jurisdiction; that they depend on the judicial and Not on the executive power, and that they can only be exercised by the Ministry of Justice, which is exclusively invested with them; whence it follows that the decree of the 25d of September, 15/0, emanating from a power to which the exereise of disciplinary action does not belong, cannot legally control the Court of Cassation; and considering that the Court, using its disciplinary power, has the right and duty to verity and “weigh even omectally the facts alleged by this decree ugainst tie First President, M. Devienne; tnat M. Devienne, so tar from repudiating unis Jarisdictioy of the Court, on the contrary urgently claims it; that there is then a ground Jor it entering upon the consideration ot the essential matter; see- ing that the letters published in the third book of th ‘apers and Correspondence of the Imperial Family,” to which the decree refers, and the person from whom they ec:uanate,’ do not authorize tne inferences which it has drawn from them; considering, =m fact, — that ‘the first two of these wriungs, which alone relate to this affair, are both Cpe unconnected With M. Devienne, and contain nothing from which tne prool can be drawn of any snare on bis part in any negotiation whatever wilh the writer of them ver cups and vases, Near them stood the happy winners, uke the “cockle-sheils” of the nursery rhyme, “allinarow.” A guard of honor, drawn from various regiments, was stationed belund the marquee.

Nothing but dumb intermixed with ively — cheers; indeed without that accompaniment, it would have been line Sanremo, music—a melancholy per- Jormance, Kart had the name of each success- ful competitor and what prize he haa gained. The fortunate volunteer then presented himself, saluted the Princess, received his prize, and marched off again. It was not every volunteer who, under such a “heavy fire of eyes,” and with the specially orygnc pair velonging to a fur Princess so closely fixed upon him, could perform his saute quite satisiac- torily, and sume, it was |, did the thing with a sincuar awkwardn of which they were, no doubt, parmtully conscious.

Devienne was obliged not to pay a “visit,” as one of the letters expresses it, but to have @ single interview with the writer of these letiers, in a town near her residence, this step was the consequence, and the necessary condition of the mission confided to him; that by tae moral authority of his intervention, and by appeai- ing to tne elevated sentiments of tne offeiidea wile M.

Exactly a monsh ago yesterday the entire cou’ try was startied with the account of a terrible di: asteron the Newark and New York Ralivoad, at point known a8 Brill’ Switches, a mile and @ half or so this side of the Broad! street depot m Newark. The exciting de tails, togeiher with the appalling deaths of five persons, were fully published in the imranp, and are, therefore, still fresh ia the memory of the reading public, At (he taquest Whien followed the switchman, William Thompson, a youth of nine teen, told an exceedingly straightforward story, which was given full credence. Among otter things he stated that the switch, be believed, had been. tampered with by some party during bis temporary absence, the pin was some distance trom tue place where be knew he had teit i, and coula no! have been so removed by the train, Thompson was lodged in the county jail, where he has remained since, awaiting the actloa of the Grand Jury, Yes- terday some facts transpired whieh may result uw showing that the switel boy was “MORE SINNED AGAINS! THAN SINNING. A short time ago 1¢ came ¢o the ears of the rattroad omeials and the Newark police authorivues that a certain one-armed soldier, named Charles BL Stanley, had made some ustoundmg admissions relative to the slanghter at Brib’s Switches. It transpired that tits Stanley and a chum named Hiram G, Fagin tad had some trouble with some of the railroad men about a woman long before the disaster, The upshot of the latter was that one night ie pair proceeded to the engine house and undertook to whip Tay.or, the Wiper. in return, however, Luey Were both soundly urrasihed, and “WIPED OUT BY THE WIPER,’? who drove tem tvom the engine house at a brisk pace. Stanley suvsequently discovered that ne was Jealous of the wroog man. The fuylor who had beep Incerlermg with his amour was employe steamboat he found out. Nevercheless he under the thrashinz le received, and 1s alleged to have threatened revenge on Taylor aud otners of the railroad med. ‘Tavior, it will be remembered, was one of the ive Killed. Since the disaster luese facts, coupled with those communicated to the authoriiles, aroused strange suspicions agamst stanley, aud it was tinaily re- suived to arrest nim, Forihwith proceeded vefore Police Justice Mills, of Newark, detective PL Cy Smith, Of the police force, and made AN AFFIDAVIT to the effect that “on ov apout the sth day of July Charles EB.
