and also OF the British Government has been
called to the qeestion whether negotiation
could not be advantageously employed in adj
justing the differences heretofore existing, but
the measures taken in this regard are not suf-
fciently matured to render it expedient to sug-
gest any action by Congress at present.

THE MACHIAs STEAhER.-We looked
aboard the steamer City of Richmond yester-
day, and found carpenters and painters at
work pushing her to completion. She will be
all completed in about, ten days, and will
probably make her first trip eastward on Tues
day, the oath. The steamer is beauty, and
can accommodate 200 passengers easily with
sleeping arrangements. We intend to give
full description of her at the time she makes
her trial trip, which will, probably, be the lat

Meeting of the Nsw York Board of Health,

AAoees"y " sss0 N6tV 1OrE B0Qrd Of Health.
G New YORK, April 10. 2
At meeting of the Board Of Health to-
day, DIR. Stone, one Of the members, submit
ted report that owing to the short time the
Board had been organized, it would be impos-
sible to thoroughly cleanse the city before hot
weather.
Information was to-day received from
Washington that the brig Encla and schoon-
er which arrived at Bermuda with rags, had
been placed in quarantine, under suspicion
that cholera was on board both vessels.
The report adds: There is no doubt that
cholera will soon be here, and at present there
is but one hulk in harbor fit for a quarantine
vessel. This cannot accommodate over 800
persons. We cannot but expect that cholera
will be in New York and BROOKLYN, and visit
its previous haunts, and in the filthy districts
be developed and disseminated"
The report recommends that the Governor
issue an address setting forth that visit of
cholera is imminent, giving the Board of
Health the power to incur expenditures for
the care of the sick, and to close or remove
all buildings dangerous to the public health.
1t also asks increased powers to July 18th,
and If at that time there is no cholera in the
city such powers are to cease, but if the chol-
era visits the city such powers be extended.

How a Man Freezes to Death.

NJ Pouchet lately read an interesting paper on this
subject before the French Academy of Sciences. The
authors in terenceS follows
l. That the phenomenon produced by cold is a con-
traction of the capillary vessels to such an extent
that globue Of blood can not enter; these vessels
therefore, remain completely empty.
2. The second phenomenon is an alteration of the
blood globues which amounts to their complete dis
organization.
3. Every animal completely frozen is absolutely
dead and no power reanimate it.
4. When only part is frozen, that part is de-
stroyed by gangrene.
5. II the part frozen is not extensive and only a
few disorganized blood gobules pass into circulation
the animal may recover
g. But it, on the contrary the frozen part is ofcon-
siderable extent then the of altered globules
brought into the circulation when the part is thawed
rapidly kills the animal
I. For this reason hGlf-frozen animal may live a
long time if maintained in the condition. since the
altered gobules do not get into the circulation hut
1t expires rapidly as soon as the frozen part is
thawed.
8. In all cases of oOngelation, death is duo to the
alteration of the blood glObules than more to any
effect on the nervous system
g. 1t results from these facts that the less rapidly
frozen part is thawed, the slowly the altered
glObule find their way into the circulation and the
greater the chances of the recovery of the animal.
