Section Z, authorizing the Commissioner TO rege-
tste for Sandy Hook before proceeding under Sta3
sections Of the bill, would seem TO Indicate Suss
there Is still some hope Of obtaining from va
mush jersey neiehbors that desirable LOGAN ~
for Quarantine purposes.
Section 3 takes from the Commissioners OF Emil
grafton. on the LIST of May the control OF QuArsn-
fine and gives the same 70 the Quarantine Ce0-
rnssioners, without aaording the latter any hsilb
ties for projecting the port against infectious
disease, or taking proper care of The sick.
Section IA will have the effect OF removing VOC.
sells, esrpoes, passengers and patients to potse
about midway between Sandy Hook and Staten
Island, about eight mica from present Qasranese.
Sections Ia and Is give to the Castleton Board q
Health Unlimited and irresponsible power over
vessels at anchor above the Narrows.
Section Ii certainly grants very extraordinary
power to the Castleton Board of Health. The
first Of April, after which, no person SICK with, -
who has been exposed to, any pestilential or csa-
tsgous sisease, shall be received into the hospitah
of the present Quarantine, is the commencemsn<
of the next Quarantine season. Where are yenow

with theml Nobody can BE- so insane ~ 70 sup
poee that the Commissioners OF Quarantine can -
that time provide for their accommodation. Evse
if the bill were forced, and the Commissioners
appointed row. with the provision for FIRST nc yot-
atpe with New-Jersey for Sandy Hook, which y
delicate affair." they would not have time 70 fer-
nish the neces sary accommodations for the sck b
the first of April
Section II, requiring the Mayor and Commissioo
ers Of Health Of the City Of New-York to provide
for the imported sick, at some place in the Lower
Bay, in case the Commissioners fail to do 90, y
COOL to say the least.
1t u, ore than probable that Gov. Morgan would
greatly prefer to be excused from the responaieab
duties imposed upon him BY various sections 81
this remarkable bill.
uaIantine Commissioners Bovine and Bensoa
have sent in their designations.
The ASSEMBLY to day reported progress on No
bill amending the laws governing the State prisons
This bill has many excellent features and some n0s
so excellent. Among its repeating clauses IL one
which, if passed. will restore the use OF the cat
now wisely forbidden. The bill also fails 20 provide
proper restraints on the infection of punishment y
the officers. 1t should require monthly reports -
the Inspectors, of the number and nature OF she
punishment inflicted by any and every officer; and
TN annual report of the same from the Inspectors
to the Legislature The bill evidently requires
careful and wise consideration.
Bills for the construction of railroads in tho City
of New-York follow each other in rapid succession.
To DAY Mr. SPENCER introduced bill which au-
thorzes John Kerr, John A. Kennedy, Edward +.
Cowles, and their assigns, to construct railroaA
with a double track, commencing on Seventh ave-
nue. at the southern extremity OF Central Parhs
thence aloog the Seventh avenue to The old Bloom
ingdale Road, or Broadway; thence along that read
