We received 10 papers or slips from New
York yesterday, and are unable, therefore, to
give the usual reports from the Board OF Health
Of that City.
10 the list of the important abors OF the last
session Of Congress, which We gave yesterday

bill for the improvement Of the Harbors OF the

most judicous preparations with regard to it
have appropriated $4,000 to meet the expenses
of the occasion-have had their city ceaused and
divided into four districts, in each Of which cho-

sicans, nurses and attendants, attached to each.

rooms are provided with every thing required for
the comfort of the sick; bags of heated sand;
bathing tubs prepared; room for medicines on
one side of the medical room, and store room
on the other, and every thing that the experience
OF other countries could suggest provided at the
expense Of the city in the mos, ample manner"

Mr.. Stanbery had understood the Chair that it
Nas in order to read the letter. He protested
galnst that course; and contended that the House
