From Our Special Correspondent
CONsTAyTNoPLE, July IL, 1865.
I regret to be obliged to-day to contradict
the statement which made week ago in reference to
the health of this city. The representations then
made by The Health Office gave every reason to hope
that the cholera had not established itself here but
n now certain that it is not only in the Arsenal where
first appeared. but is rapidly spreading through
The mel ghboriDg quarters Of the city.
HOW 1T WAS INTRODUCED.
Asis well known. the present epidemic commenced

With several cases Of cholcfa on board, but there was
high Paeha on tie ship who did not wish 10 20 into
Quarantine 50 he ordered ire captain and surgeon TO
report al we'll on board. They did so. and the ship
was allowed TO pass up the Golden Horn TO the Navy
Yard.
Tie next morning y cases Of cholera were removed
from The ship to the hospital OF the Arsenal The cap
tain and surgeon were at once thrown into prison, and
the Paeha himself died at bis house within week Of
hsrriys, but this DID not remedy the evil

Navy Yard and some cases occurred in the neighbor

Eiga days later still. G. Thursday last il ar
pared in various parts Of this quarter. and few cases
have appeared in other parts Of the city or both sides
Of The Golden Horn.
