HEALTH or New YoRK-Some sensation has
been created in New York by the publication of
the City Inspectors report Of intermentH for the
week ending on the 2lst ult. II shows large ex-
cess of burials from deaths by cholera over the
daily reports Of the Board of Health. The dispro-
portion between their returns is remarkable. For
28l deaths reported by the Board, the Sexton re-
turns ia burials. There is seemingly good deal
of uneasiness--a suspicion that the truth is de-
signedly suppressed, and want Of confidence in
the Board
Oy- The health Of Baltimore continues, under
the circumstances, remarkably good for the season.
The only cholera yet reported is that at the Aims
house, three miles from the city
CoMPENsArIoN.--Ths President and Directors
of the Railroad company between Baltimore and
Washington City, have paid to w. Carter Of Balti-
more, fUe thousand dollars, in settlement Of suit
which he had brought against them for injuries
ceived by a railroad accident in September last.
One Of his feet was so crushed, TO require ampu-
tation above the ANGLE. The sum Of JiUe thousand
dollars is in addition to all his expenses in conse-
quenee of the wound.
Loss OF TIKI BARK CHATHAM AT sEA-We
learn from the New York Herald that the ship
Corea, with 244 steerags passengers from Belfast,
was boarded on the Goth ult, off Montauk, having
on board the Captain tBearse) and portion Of the
crew of the bark Chatham, lost at sea on the 5th
ult, in lat 400 So n, lon. $50 lO w. The former
ran into the latter in fog sinking her in short
time. The bark Hopewell, being in company,
took the remainder Of the crew. She is also bound
TO New York. The Chatham was laden with
grain, and bound from New York to Cork. The
COrea is loaded with salt, and bound to Quebec.
THE INDIAN ourRAGEs IN FLoRIDA.-We get
some additional, but not late returns about the In
dian attack upon the settlement at Indian River in
Florida. The correspondence Of the Savannah
papers from Key West Bttributes the outbreak to a
small party Of young Indians, not acting under any
concert with the main body Of the Indians The
cause assigned is a quarrel between Mr.. Russell,
the U. s. Collector, and these Indians, arising out
Of some business disputes. 1t is said thatthe party
which attacked the whites consisted Of only four,
and caution is given not TO magnify the alarm
into another Seminole war. This gives a more
favorable aspect to the case bat does not preclude
the necessity Of prompt interference by the proper
authorities 10 repTess disorder, punish the crime,
and secure future peace
AmERIcAN NAVIGATION LAws-In the British
House Of Commons, on the 18th of June, Mr. c.
Leigh wished 10 know whether, in any modification
-. Il IN, he
laws the trade to California and the west coast Of
America would be thrown open to British vessels I
Lord Palmerston said the American Navigation
law was as nearly possible the same with the
British until the bill for the repeal OF the latter
came into operation, and it would not be until the
end of the year that according to the power vested
in the President, corresponding change would be
made in the Navigation laws of America
Mr.. Herries, (who spoke subsequently, but whose
question il may be more convenient 10 give here,
wished to know whether he rightly understood the
noble lord to hold ont an expectation that the
American Government would be disposed, wher
the repeal of our Navigation laws came into effect
10 open 70 the vessels of this country the trade be
tween the east and western coasts Of America
As the coasiing trade was expressly excluded from
the operation Of our oWn bill, he should be glad K
learn that there was an expectation that the Ameri
can Government would, IN consideration of thu
privileges granted TO their shipping under that bill
cOncede the privilege TO which he had adverted.
Lord PalmerstOn said the President was not onll
enabled but obliged to make, with respect to tn
shipping of other countries, the same TeaXations Q
the Navigation laws which those countries nigh
make in favor of foreign vessels. But there wa
no reason to suppose that the American Govern
ment would make any greater relaxation Of thei
Navigation laws than had been made by PaTlia
ment in our own Navigation laws, we having 81
pressy excepted the coasting trade from the opera
ton of the clauses repeating our Navigation law
