The near approach of the cholera does not, ap- parently, give the Board of Health of this city any very great uneasiness, yet it may not be generally known that during the past few days the most ex- tensive preparations have been made to give the unwelcome guest such a reception that will forbid @ lengthened stay in our midst, The Board claim that there is no ground, as yet, for anything like a panic, and that it will be high time to issue oMcial bulletins of a general character as to the work that it is doing to protect the public from the ravages of the dread destroyer when all their DEFENCES AGAINST THE COMMON FOR shall have been completed, They, it is true, say they recognize the fact that the city is in danger of the disease, inasinuch as it will come do what they may to prevent it; but they at the same time claim that they intend to be so prepared at the proper hour that its coming will not be the cause for any general trepidation, It was the idea of a few of the health officials last week that all the rallroads should be quarantined at once—that is, that even before any case of cholera had declared its presence in our midst every train arriving from the West should be compelled to stop outside the city limits until the inspectors of the Board made thorough examination of the passengers, in order that no tainted ipetaon could reach the city proper. ‘This idea did not find general favor, and a different pian. }, Seemingly @ good one, has been decided upon, irowlars have been sent to all THE RAILROAD COMPANTRS and to all the poorer class of hotels and boarding houses, with positive instructions as to what they must do to guard against the invasion of the dis- ease. Special fatrections have been given as ‘o dis- infecting and cleansing the privies and water closets of these places, as the ready means of de- stroying pny socms of the disease which may be deposited there by persons from infected < ‘dis- tricts, either passing through the city or dur- ing a temporary abode. Deputy Sanitary In- spector Janes says that it is now generally admitted that the germs of cholera poison exist in the discharges from persons having what is known as the ‘“premonitory diarrhea”—a diarrheea gene- Tally painiess in its character and 60 mild as not to excite the alarm of the patient or the suspicion of his friends. Under the circumstances he now re- peats what ten days Bee he advised in his report to the Board—namely, that it is of the utmost im- portance that early attention be given to such cases, the discharges be immediately disinfected and. THE PATIENTS PROPERLY ISOLATED. The disinfectant which, in consequence of this advice, they el making use of, is ten pounds sul- phate of iron, five gallons of water and half a pint of common carbolic acid. Inspector Jones yester- day, during a conversation which a HERALD com- missioner with him, remarked that a circular for general circulation was now being prepared, which would be ready in a day or two, and which was intended as an_ oficial warning to the community to be on their guara SRnoet the cholera, and at the same time give em all the necessary instructions whereby they might be able to head off the disease. The mode of disinfection already referred to, he says, if ap- plied to THE SINKS AND WATER CLOSETS of private houses, if made general, would not only cleanse the house drains, but through them the public sewers would be deprived ofa greater por- tion of their poisonous gases, It may be well just nere to mention that the Board has Mapped gut the entire city into small districts, and that a certain nomber of inspectors have been detailed to each district, with power to make @ complete survey of every house and habitation, of whatever kina, in the neighborhood. No house will be allowed to esca) the notice of this door-to-door visitation commit- tee, as the law gives the inspectors full authority to examine, on showing their credentials from the Board, every house, and to order whatever disin- fections they see fit to purtty it. ALL FOUL CELLARS and badly kept privies and yards will then be over- hauled. Tn fact, this kind of good work has been oing on for the past week, and ta, 80 say the lealth Commissioners, being done faithfully, but in as quiet a manner as possible, 80 as to give the least possible alarm, No action whatever has been taken by the Board to compel the bone polling establishments to close up, as they claim there is no danger to be apprehended from them, but the rendering factories have been given a lease of life to the 16th of next month, when they will have to CLOSE UP THEIR BUSINESS or be closed by the police. The inspectors state, however, that the greatest danger, if the cholers comes, Wili come from the privies and foul cellars, and that its first ravages may naturally be ex- Beas in the siums. They contend that everything being done that can be done to put all the dirty streets in a condition that will not invite disease, and that the good work will be prosecuted night and day till every block it the city is robbed of ita poison breeders. ena) pertinent to this cholera qnestion the follow- ing extract from ex-Sanitary Superintendent Har- Iphlet on cholera will be of interest.

Movement of the Sanitary Police Upon the Works of the Fat Meclters and the Bone Botlers. The order of the Superintendent of Police rola- tive to those odorous nuisances, bone boiling, fat melting, and gut cleaning establishments, has not ag yet very sensibly diminished the infinite variety of stenches which abidein the infested districts. The Sanitary Police visited the great cen- tre of noxious odors, which is bounded by Eleventh avenue, North River and Thirty- seventh and Forty-second streets, yesterday and ‘warned each odor-merchant to reduce, so far as prac- tical, the body and volume of his particular bo quet; put the effect of the order cannot he percep’ ble for some days. The atmosphere of that neighbor- hood is too heavily laden to relieve itself at once, Fragrance has been too long a stranger to be coaxed into its dark and mysterious alleys by ver- bal orders, You might as well expect THE PERFUMES OF ARABY the blest to take refuge inthe steerage of an im- migrant ship, The Fefuse utilizers all promised ready comp! ance, and continued with increased vigor the noxious work on band, seemingly deter- mined to smell louder than usual for the few hours of undistursed stench allowed them. This district 18 replete with these odoriferous concerns, fifteen or twenty of the three varieties of bone boiling, fat melting and gut cleaning being conducted legitimately by permit of the Board of Health, while as many mofe illicit concerns hide their unseem- Mness under ground in dark cellars, although they fail thereby to improve or suppress their odors, With these latter the police can interpose their authority at any time when the smell becomes overpowering to the resident population and complaint made, The noses of the residents, however, are not of the aristocratic sensitiveness which swoons at the opening of a flower. They are generally humanely adapted to suit THE ODORS OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD, and most of the tenement house families within the odorous area seem to take @ pride in its particular pre-eminence, and usually ada to the eneral stench separate odors of their own, ecocted from their sinks and sewers, and proudly displayed in the front gutters. THE PERMITS under which the present refuse concerns are working are those of the old Board of Health, The newly Organized Board has recently issued an order requiring that new permits be obtained, and revoking, alter a certain limit, the old ones. In consequence a large number of appiications for new ermite have been filed. Before granting them, jowever, the Board will order an inspection! in each case, upon the result of which the fate of the application depends. By a new arrangement, suggested by the new Board and adopted by a num- ber of the meliters, the steam from the refuse is passed Cte te acondenser, wherein acongiomera- tion of disinfectants serve in a mild way to de- odorize the eMuvia of the concerns. The greater number, however, persist in the old plan and revel in stench. REAL ESTATE MATTERS, Important Sale of Seaside Property Business Announcements for To-Mor- row. Auction sales of property at a distance generally close at such an unreasonably late hour that a morning journal is debarred from publishing any- thing else but generalities, and particulars always come a day after. Suchis the case in the great sale held by Jere. Johnson, Jr., on Saturday last, at Far Rockaway, which in every sense of the term proved @ decided success. It was a thorough “jubilee” affair—music, dinner, song and busi- ness. Besides this, the sea breeze from old Neptune was so invigorating that purchasers kept perfectly cool and bought lots at remunerative prices. Probably two thousand persons attended this sale. The first cottage and twenty-four lots were sold to Mr. Cheever, of Rockaway, lor $17,000, The entire catalogue was gone through, and every parcel sold. The lots ranged from $350 to $620 cach. At the close of the sale, as is usual at almost every auction, several soreheads, who lacked spirit to bid on property desired by them, bought at greatly advanced rates, while others traded to enlarge the plots previously purchased, The Neptune Hotel estate was bought by Mr. Peter O’Donohue, who at once leased it for five years to an enterprising Boniface. The following are the details of this sale, which was held by order of Duncan, Snerman & Co. :— 1 cottage, with ice house, restaurant and 24 lots of land, on Bainbridge 4 Public H tage, with plot 1 ate her ita nd arnpige 1 gottage, with plot, 85x84.70, on Bainbridge ety No. a | D to "72 inclusive. es 1 cottage, with plot (04, on Tarnpike, Bainbridge «1 on Balnbr thea adjoining, Nos. %, 47 and ses each 25 {t front. 6 lots adjoining. on Turnpike, Nos. 2 flotron Turnpike and Bainbridge S7and 38. $ lots on Beach and maine Slots on oped Kige st.

Speculations About the Police Magistracice—The, Bills That the Supervisors Looked at Yester- day—A Snug'Little “Rake” for the Coroners — Those Unoceupied Court House Rooms—Minor Matters About the Hall. There was comparatively little of general publiq interest going on yesterday about the City Hall.’ Mayor Ravemeyer, fresh from his tour among the mountains of the Pennsylvania coal region, was again at his official post and received a large num- ber of callers who were intent on ‘‘secing how the’ old man looked after hisstrip.”” Of course he had a large scattering delegation of gentlemen who! would like to have his influence to secure omice for themselves or their friends, and not a fewor them, were harping on the police magistrates question, as it is with good reason anticipated that at least one-half of the nominees already submitted will be peremptorily rejected by the Board of Aldermen,’ Alderman Van Schaick yesterday made some ef- fort to have a special meeting called for to-day to. take up the police magistrate nominations, but the attempt was not successful, and it is now likely that nothing will be cjone until Thursday.. Several of the Aldermen expressed the opinion yesterday that even then there will be no action taken on the nominations, notwithstanding the fact that the Board meets at the unusually early hour of eleven o'clock A. M., and that this hour was fixed with a view to a ‘‘fleld day.” The Board of Supervisors met yesterday after noon and transacted considerable routine business, Supervisor Vance temporarily in the chair, ‘ A petition was received, signed by Justices In- graham, Brady, Fancher, Barrett and Davis, of the Supreme Court, asking that the Supreme Court be awarded the occupancy of the two rooms in the southwest corner of the New Court House, for- merly occupied by the Board of Supervisors, They set forth that the increased business of the Court will not warrant the county in giving away any of the rooms of the building to other branches of the government, and hoped that any application there+ for would be denied. The petition was referred to the Committee on County Offices. Alarge number of bills against the county were referred to the proper committees, Requtaitions for stationery and supplies from the various departments and offices were also referred. A requisition from Recorder Hackett was ra, ceived asking that his room be furnished with a bookcase, a copy of the City Directory and other minor requisites. Supervisor CooreR moved to amend by providing that a copy of the Directory be furnished to each member of the Board. Not seconded, The Recorder's requisition was referred.

A majority report was presented from the Com- mittee on Printing and Stationery adverse’ to the bill of M. B. Brown jor printing calendars of the Marine Court. A minority report was also snbmitted on the same question, claiming that the items of the bilb were just and legal charges against the county. Supervisor FLANAGAN moved to adopt the minor- ity report, as a substitute for the majority report, together with its frst recommendation that the claim be audited and paid. Adopted; yeas 9, nays 8, the latter being Supervisors Morris, Falconer and Ottendorier.
