mbled Friday morning, when letter was read

In addition to the report of the Business
committee, adopted on Thursday, a number
OF additional resolutions We're proposed and
ADOPTED. They state that quarantine meas
ureS alone can never protect q community
either from the Introduction or propagation
oil disease, because of a initiated state OF the
atmosphere, from local causes, during seasons
marked ny peculiar meteorological conditions;
ana also that, to procure uniformity in quar-
antlne regulations throughout the several ports
OF the United States, the assembling Of an A.
hOther or several conventions, would be neces-
sary. Also' that a thorough examination be
made Of all immigrants entering the country
that they may be protected from the ravages Of
small poN; and If not so protected, be vaccina-
ted. Also, that we recommend that there
should be attached to onr Board Of Health
quarantine ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS stations for
minute meteorological observations land vac
cine establishments; and that records Of these
be published monthly, for public benefit And
that we advise additional means of ventilation
and publication Of vessels and comforts for
seamen and passengers.
Dr. Jones, of New Orleans, submitted the
following, which was adopted THAT the Con-
vention recommend, in addition the usual
quarantine regulations and establishments the
removal Of all persons Of limited means from
| reach Of infection, and the prevention of the
|
pestilential diseases also, the publication of
| authorized reports Of Gpidemics; and that
Boards OF Health and other public bodies be
not only Obliged to declare the existence of
yellow fever and cholera in their epidemic
forms, but also to meet special cases which oc-
cur in localities under their control.
Resolutions We're also adopted, changing the
name OF the Convention from ''QHarantine, .
to Quarantine and Sanitary and providing
for the holding of Convention in 1858, in Bal.

PosIvE AND CoMrARATIvE.-Among the del.
egates to the Medical Convention, which mel
in Philadelphia, is gallant Bostonian-well
known to tame-Dr. John NJ. Moriarity, PHYS
ictan to Deer Island Hospital. Dir. NJ. is a man
OF large heart, and possesses cOrpuont frame

and ten pOudds Of course, SO elephantine A
figure occupies some little space upon the side
walk, and space no less material ut q dinner
table. Tho Doctor 7was guest at the Girnrd
House,. His first appearance at the gnetle
tlemen's ordinary was, therefore, at Thursday
mornings breakfast. The Doctor took his
seat in close vicinity to the tenor Amodio, who
as our opera-gOing readers are well aware, is n
| remarkable specimen or rOtund adp0sitv,
weighing two hundred and eighty pounds, and
being nearly as broad as he is long.
| As soon rs the doctor was seated, the tenor
dropped the table cutlery from his hand. and
| sat with his eyes fixed upon the former, in mute
establishment, until the meal was completed.
The tenor left the table just as the doctor was
putting the sugar in his last cup of coffee. and
sought out Mr. Chadwick, one of the heads
of the establishment. sc Minister'S Chadwick,

g Certainly, sir: walk up,' was the reply
and in moment afterwards, the greater and
the lesser giants were Gnergetically shaking
hands. The interchange of two oblOng bits OF
pastehoard having further introduced the par
ties, DR.. Moriarity assured the tenor he was
very happy to make his acquaintance, to which
the tenor reioined, sc All my vera dear sir
twice glad to know you-ohce for your own
sake, and twice because now they can no more
call me Won fat man. Beside you am like re

The doctor laughed heartily at the tenor's

exit into side room, where Il table was
graced with sundry mysterious haguns with

THE LOUISVILLE MoB.-rho Louisville ma
| pers bring us full details of the hanging of
three negroes in that city by mob, but the
telegraph has already given the main flcts.
They were il will be- remembered, acquitted of
the murder of the Joyce family for want Of ev-
ldence. The journal, after describing tae at
tack Of the mob on the Jail, says
Three of the prisoners being delivered nm TO
the mob, razor was given to the fourth in
the Jail, (Jack,) the property Of Mr.. Samuels,
| of Bulliit county, and he cut his throat sever
ing the iugular vein and windpipe, and rrodu-
| cling instant death. The wound was of a most
| horrible character, and a more CHASTITY spccta-
| Gle was scarcely ever witnessed thin the dead
| body when it was brought to the yard and eX-
posed to the view of the crowd. Ropes were
obtained, and tho other negroes marched off
| to the courthouse square, At the west end
| George, the slave of MIR. Samuels, was hung
| upon tree, amid the hootings and cxecrations
OF the multitude. The other two were then
marched through the square, and near Fifth
street were likewise executed. One of them
the slave Of Mr.. Brown, protested his innO-
cence, and plead piteously to be released.
His agony of mind and sutferings were very in
tense. Mr.. Pendleton's fBill,'' the one who
was the States evidence in the case, was the
last one executed. We understand that he
and one Of the others confessed their guilt
Fires were kindled under the suspended bod
les, but they were not consumed.
II is a sad thing to have to state, that, in the
midst of mob there were scores of boys,
some Of them scarcely ten years of age, all
shouting chang emp "burn 'em - with fury
not surpassed by that of their elders. Such
an exhibiton Of blood-thirsty rage on the part
Of mere children is indeed shocking to con-
