RnARn OF HEALTH

The second meeting of the Board of Health w;s con-
veued yesterday afternoon in the Chambers Of the
Board OF Counclmen, the President, FERNANDO WOOD,
MayOr, in the Chair.
The provisions of the Health laws requiring that the
meetings of this Board shall be set aside by
the adoption Of resolution, offered by Mr.. BooLE
permitting the representatives of the press TO attend.
Several communications Were then presented from
The City Inspector and read The first communication
stated that the pier foot of Trty-eighh street, East
River, had been made "A dumping ground of manure
and bad become of the largest stable-msnure de-
posts IN the city; that during last Summer complaints
almost daily to his Office declaring that IL was
Nuisance and the Health Warden of that District had
TO reported it to him. The manure lay there months
and months rotting, in order TO fiji il for the market.
4 resolution was offered authorizing the City In
sped0r to remove all such nnisinccs above Thirty
eighth street as well as below; but the Mayor decided
Legislative powers, and was created smply 10 take
ton in the case of epidemcs. 1t then referred 10
the Common Council recommended for action by
the Board of Health.
Another communication from the CITY Inspector
stated that the mortality lists had been greatly increased
dining the past four months the corresponding
deaths Of last year. and that the cause of this increase
was not traceable to climate or scason but quite 40
likely 10 exist III the healthies cities IN the world as I'm
NewYork. From the first Of January TO the present
time there was ts year excess of Sl9 deaths over
lasi and scarlet fever alone had gained victims during
the time mentioned, Ia the number Of 900. From
computation with many physicians he had become con-
yinr,d that this state of things WAS caused by the
ignorance and neicency of attending physicians and
the nOstrums administered by them.
The number Of certificates for deaths Of scarlet
fever given by his depaItSnt to educated
members OF the profession, did not exceed
10 IN all. Fonr-fiiths Of tllis immense increase
might have been avoided by proper treatment and the
aIpli1ation of proper remedies I'm calling attention
10 The general health Of the city she City Inspector
repre,srted that il compares fayoably with London.

astonishing mpdity. The entire Fire Department OF
the Eastern District were soon at the spot ana the
utmost efforts were nsed to prevent the progress OF the
flames At one time it was thought that the Williams
burqh CITY Bank and the ferry-houses at the foot OF
south Seventh street were in great danger. SeVeral
M he ferry-boats attempted throw streams OF water
upon the fire, but were obliged 10 haul Oh INTO tne
stream for fear of cathing fire. =.
Owing to the great exertons Of the bremen, inc
flames were confined to the premises in which the re
originated, and were finally exinguished with much
smaller lofs than was at first anticipated.

$1,000. They were insured as follows Artisans NJ

rived out at Vera Cruz on the 18th. The rumor by
her that the Mexican prize steamers were TO be re-

OF the actual progress of the civil war We hear but
little though il is sd the Liberal army is recognizing

In the mean time, the French and English Ministers
are exerting every energy to bring about the pro-
