We publish in another column details OF news
from Puerto Cabello, Venezuela, to the lst inst.
A most fearful negro Instruction initiated at
Puerto Cabclio on the 18th ult., and regular war
Of race and color commenced. The outrages be-
gan at Guaiguasa, where Judge Miguel Marc was
assassinated by the negroes. At Puerto Cabello,
fortunately, the negroes were routed after severe
street fighting, and retired TO the country. All
trade was at stand still, and communication with
the interior cut off, but the government hoped TO
soon put an end to the Instruction.
In another column will be found full and int.
resting report of the present state OF Quarantine
matters as presented under the regime of the pre-
sent Health Officer and new Quarantine Commits
sioners. 1t is gratifying to know that the duties Of
this Department, having solely for its the con-
servation Of the public health, being rgidy aud
faithfully discharged, and that every possible care
is being taken TO protect the city against the en-.
croachment of yellow fever or other pestilential
diseases. The hospitals at the old Quarantine have
been empticd of their inmates, the sick previously
confined there having been sent to Blackwells and
Wards Islands. The bark Pilgrim yesterday en-
tered upon her duties as distributing barge" to
convey al arriving hereafter sick with nonconta-
gious diseases to the islands named. The steamer
lies anchored at her assigned anchorage in the
lower bay. No sick persons have yet been put on
board Of her, no yellow fever cases having
arrived yet at this port. Only three YES.
sells were yesterday at the upper Quarantine
anchorage against about one hundred detained at
this time last year. The enormous swindes fo..
merly practised upon shipowners in this regard
have been stopped by the new Health Officer
han .l,a sI,
piest change of all is the success Of the Staten
Islanders in getting rid Of Quarantine. All the
Quarantine property on the island is to be sold and
with the sale will doubtless end the socalled Rich
mond county Sepoyism.
