The ANIMAL report Of the physician Of the Marine
Hospital, an abstract of which is given esswhs 70,
will be found to contain mu oh important and inte-
resting Information in relation to the affairs O. that
institution and the various diseases treated there
An important section is devoted to the origin and
spread OF yellow fever last summer at Quarantine
The Quarantine grounds occupy the central part of
map, which illustrates the port of New York and
vicinity. The iniec ed d strcts are carefully desig
mated, and the exact location Of every house in
which yellow fever occurred is given. The report
gives careful description of the tidal, atmospheric
and material agencies which contribute to the spread
of infection, and makes some suggestions Of vital
importance to the sanitary interests Of this city and
vicinity.
The article in the Union on PRUSSIA and Switzer-
land" was q communication, and appeared acciden-
tally editorial So that paper states as its apollo
gy. It makes very little difference whether an
article is published in the Union as an editorial or
became Perces organ, the whole concern, including
Pierce, Nicholson and tho Union, has been nothing
but communication.
The Nicaragua flibusters case "drags its slow
length along and is becoming perfect bore. II is
adjourned and adjourned without anything being
DONE except the Preparation of speeches and most
incalculabie number Of small Interruptions of coun-
sci onmere technicalities. One day they adjourned
49, 49,
sometimes to A, and again to O'Clock, and yet we
seem to be just far off from the termination of
the case as we were some three weeks ago. The
amiability of Commissioner Moren is too much
played upon. He must relax if he expects to have
an opportunity OF deciding this case before SUMMER
and-we would suggest that like all other legal pro-
ceedings, this should be continued from day to
day at reasonable hours and disposed of one way or
the other before the "Ides of March,"
The case of the prisoners charged with having
committed frauds upon the Northern Railroad of
France was brought up before Commissioner Belts
yesterday, in the United States Circuit Court The
French Consul General, Mr.. Charles Z. Montholon,
was sworn, but no evidence of any importance Was
taken when the case was adjourned till Tuesday
next, at I'm.
Fire Marshal Baker, IL seems, is working MP ano-
Their case OF incendarsm. The daring act of arson
in Front street on Sunday las. appears to mplicate
young man named Michael Wogsn, who was yes
terdsy arrested by Captain Ditchett, on a warrant
issued by Justice Wood. The evidence thus far
elected shows a very curious chain of circum-
stances. synopsis of the testimony will be found
in another column.
