NEw.ORLEANs, Saturday, June 9, 1855.
! There has been decided Improvement in the
/. health of the city this week, and the Sections
Repo-t OF Monday next will exhibit consider
able falling off in the interments of cholera SUBJ
iects. Its However very sickly as yet, and the
rain of the last tbrse days has caused an increase
in the number of cholera eases: we also hear of
numerous cases of fever, but there Is no yellow
fever. The proclamation of Gcv. Hsbert de-
ch rirg a quarantine Of at least ten days on sll
yesA els from any port in the torrd zone also on
vessA Is from Charleston and Savannah has caused
much excitement and The BEl!etin has an able edi-
torisl on the subject Ii says the places put under
the ban u interdct comprehend about one-tAird of
tie babi;able globe, embracing large number OF
ports with which our city maintains frequent and
Intimate communication. The fact is quarantine
has never met with any favor from 6 large majority
of our resident citizens but the country demanded
it and the Legislature enacted the law, which
will prove perfect humbug and farce. | learn
from one of the A" river pilots" (who hss acted in
that capacity for over thirty years. that the place
selected for the quarantine Is the most sicky one
that could have been fixed upon and that 10 one
in perfect health can remain at the station two

then resigned his esice s., 900 a year was no

taken with the cholera the first day he went down;
ard if vessels are obliged to remain for ten days
at such a pest hole they will be minus
crews and passengers. II the law is enforced
there will be an end ~ the line of steamers

The quarantine should pre7ent passengers from
coming into this City during she present cpl |
deaie That might do some good and save many |
lives as on Monday last over sight hundred Ger |
mans were permitted TO land here, thus adding |
foe for the cholera and many OF those were taken
10 the bone yard before they ccula take passage
for the West II All arrangement had been made
to land these poor passengers below the city, ST.
Louis STEAMERS would have gone down for them
and tax en- them to St Louis witbort being landed
here. We hear every day of entire families being
swept off by the cholera. just learn of six deaths
in one family yesterday
The rain has extended to all parts of the coun.
try and the only fears now we shall have too
much of it,

After long discussion the whole matter was
laid on the table. Our schools are not what they
were ten years ago, when our Board OF Directors
was composed of New-EDgand men, and had
New-England Superintendent.
The Picatnne asserted on Tuesday that the Board
of Health had rescinded the resolution declaring
the cholera an epidemic but there is NOT one oord
of truth in the assertion, the President OF the
Board informs me that no such resolution has been
passed, but that when the epidemic ceases the
Board will inform the public of the fact The
peryerson of the truth the part OF The PieGyune
brings discredt on the entire press, and the people
in tie interior of this State and Mississippi place
no confidence in any publication made by our pa
pers If few cases of cholera should break out
n New-York The Pieayune would have the report
by telegraph published in very conspicuous part
Of the paper but the existence OF an epidemic
here is not considered worthy Of notice or word
of caution.
