Horses and mules are TO be found In all quantities

The MARINE HosPITAL.-Ths Government insti
tuition, on the other side of the river, above McDo-
noghvlle, has for more than week been surrounded
by the waters of the Bell crevasse and the flood is
steadily rising. The hospital contains quite num-
Der of sick and invalid Mariners who, if they are
provided for at all by Government, should be pro.
vided for properly The present condition of the
hospital, its grounds being inundated and the health
OF its inmates being exposed to deeterious inau-
ences by the stagnant water bearing up the ofa of
the swamp, with the summer heats approaching, is
such as not only to justify but require the removal OF
the inmates to drier and better locality. The
Collector of the PORT believe, has control OF the
hospital If so, he should it to be vacated or,
ii not vested with the necessary authority should
lose no time in corresponding with his department at
Washington on the subject There is no prospect of
the crevasse being stopped Of the nundation sub
siding speedily. The matter, would respectfully
urge, should be attended to at once.
