The house is lighted from above, as before;and the ventilation is amply sufficient. This pretty tueater was tolerably well attended on Thurs- day evening, when the burlesque of “Lady Audley's Boerot™ was acted for the first time. Miss Braddon's movel is eminently susceptible of burlesque, being one of the.most absurd of that prolific writer's many absurd pioces of fiction. Mr. Smith has seized upon its salient poiuts and has ndiculed them with humor aud with sound common sense. This burlesque is slight, being compuised in theee scenes, is written in hesoic verse, and is embel- Lishod with many telling songs. Mr. Smith himself played Lady Audiey, and, by his preposterous costume andgy- sarance, occasioned as much laughter as by the wit of hia . up already, disappear altogether. inlogue and the point of his songs., His personation of thischaracter is_kindred with that of *‘ Leah, the For- podk,” whereby he amused the town, some tims ago,in ¥renk Wood's burlesque of “ Leah.” -* Lady Aydley's Beorot * is samounced for further repetition.

Tho area over which the fire bad ran its wild career at this time reseuted a most startling piotare, the effect of which was shightencd®y the passing of ‘three trains, includingthe Buffdo cnight express, which had been detained for some bours ou ac- count of te fire.

The recent outbreak of cholora was entirely limited to a few of the filthiest quarters of the city, Tt was promptly | met by proper sanitary measures, and immediately overcome. We way expect occasions of this sort during the present month, without fear of disappointment, uoless it should appear that the poison has been utterly destroyed by the chemical agents that have been 80 freely used. The total deatbs from cholera in New-York, dariog tho season now nearly past, was less than 1,000; in Brooklyn the whole number was perhaps a’ little more than 500. The remarkable immunity of the Metro- politan Sanitary District is chicfiy'due to the vigorous opera- tions of the Board of Health, under the admirable act of February 26. The fact tuat the law has been reduscted in | England, and already recommended to the Logislatures of a number of our own States, is ovly anotber proof of its wisdom and of the progress that has been made in the application of the laws of Health and axioms of Sanitary Science to the every day affairs of lifs, The example of the Metropolitan Board of Health has been followed in every city in the country in which cholera bas appeared, and uniformly with success Its labors, however, are far from complete. Now that the epidemic bas subsided, it kas begaa to devise ways and means for permanently purifying tue homes of the poor and ameliorat- ing the condition of the tenant-house population as regards light and air. They have, as yet, hardly begun to enforce the ordinances concerning ventilation and drainage, and thou- sands of persous still remain- buddled together in rooms to which the sunlight never penetrates, and a breath of pure, un- tainted atmosphere never comes. The warfare against cholera now becomes & warfare against fever.

(Befors Judges Kelly aud Dowling.] THE BOARD OF HEALTH AND THE PAT BOILERS AGAIN. A vory important representative case came up on Saturday, in which the defendant. Mr. Christian Giese, ap- peared a3 a sort of involuntary proxy for the entire fat-boiling interast of the oity, and the citizens of New-York, by the per- son of their very exoel'ent servants, the Board of Health, were the complatnants.

Tho amount of those First Mortgags Bonds to be issued per milo is limited by law to the amount of @nited States Bonds allowed and issued to aid the construction of the Road,'and the Mortgage by which they are secured ig declared by Act of Uengress to constitute a lien prise and superior to that of the United States Gocernment, and all others whatsoever. The aid received frem the Government (in amouad equal to this First Montgage) is economically and judi. ciously applied to the coustruction and equipwment of the Road, together with neatly $7,000,000 received from Stock Subscriptions and other sources. The First Mortgage therefore amounts to but about 35 per cent of the scfisl cost and value of the Property which it covers. The road is now completed, equipped and running from Sacramento City to Alta, a distance of 73 miles, and the earnings for the three mouths ending August 1t wer as follows, viz: 1N GOLD. Tha oarnings are steadily increasing, and are estimated at over $100,000 in gold for the month of August—the offi- cial report for that moath not having boen received at thig date. The construction of the road lis going vigozously foe- ward,—24 miles additional being noarly ready for the cary,— and it will probaby oe in full operation to the California State line—156 miles from‘Sacramento City—duriog the, Summer of 1867, when its earnings must be very largs, as the entire trade of Novada, and a large proportion of that of Utab, Idabo, and Montans must pass over its line. It haa been shown by reliable statistics that in 1363 ovee $13,000,000 in gold was paid for freighting goods from Cali- fornia to Nevada dlone. ‘This part of the Great Pacific Railroad route is destined to be one of the most profitable lines of railroad ia the world, and its First, Mortgage bonds are among the best secured and most desirable investments ever offered. Over $1,000,000 has already been expended in grading beyond the point to which the road is now runniog, sad the fron is bought and'paid for sufficient to lay the track the entire distance to the State Line.
