FROM NEW YORK.
The Frecdmen-TrOnb Brewing
in Florida.

New YORK, June 2.-The Herad's cor
respondent attending Gen. Steedman's in
vestigation of the Freedmen's Bureau af-
fairs, says: The investigation finds consid-
cradle Improvement in the workings of the
Bureau in these localities, as compared
with its operations in Virginia, North Car
olina and South Carolina.
Some time ago British American negro
from new Brunswick attempted to found
an empire on one. of the Georgia islands,
but he was soon deposed by his Superiors
of the Bureau.
Trouble appears to be brewing between
the whites and blacks in Florida, growing
out of the sales of rebel lands for taxes. A
repetition of the Memphis and Newbern
riots is feared.
Meeting Of the Board of Health.
At the meeting of the Metropolitan
Board of Health yesterday, President
Schultz, recently appointed to confer with
the quarantine commission and the Com
missiOners of Emigration, reported that
the joint commission had sought every
where a suitable spot whereon to land un-
injected emigrants who may arrive in
cholera ships, but the inhabitants of Long
Island, Staten Island and the New Jersey
coast are dangerously hostile, and will not,
ulutE any ClICNulSlduCtS, SURRENDER all
inch of their soil. Mr.. Berger remarked
that but for the merchants of New York
the last Legislature might have passed an
act enabling the Board to occupy a suita-
BILE spot under the right of eminent do
main. Dr. Swinburne reported that more
than 700 emigrants are in detention at quar-
antine, and that last week they attempted
to burn one of the ships. He further added
the alarming statement that if another
cholera ship arrived to-day he could not
provide Accommodations for her passengers.
Forty thousand three hundred emigrants
arrived at this port during the month of
May. Three thousand seven hundred. not
counted above, came in the cholera ships
now lying in quarantine.
Twenty.siX New Gases of Cholera.
Twenty-siX new cases of cholera were re-
ceived on the hospital ship from the steam
er Peru> ian, and there have been l2deaths
sin e last report. There are now l04 cases in
no pital.

Po ice. She lost two men on the passage
an had one sick on board ofyellow fever.
Tn sick men remain on board the vessel,
.nere being no hospital for that disease.

Financial.
New York, June 2.-The Commercials
money article says: The stock market pre-
sents its usual Saturday dullness. The
whole stock list is kept in suspense by the
uncertainty as to the future course of Erie,
now largely under the control of the spec
uative directors, and there is disposition
to defer operations until it is more appar-
ent what is likely to be the course on the
consol stock. AT the Board Erie was firm
Ell, opening at 6l7S, and advancing to 621k,
but declining subsequently, to 6l14. New
York Central remains firm at 971S@7S. In
Cleveland & Pittsburg the course appears
to be toward lower prices. Under the re-
alizing OF the clique Reading is firm at
109I6.
Governments continue firm at THURSDAYS
quotations, except l0-40's, which are N per
cent. better. -r --Tgs 'IfTtt
Money is shade easier. Balances are
offered freely at per cent until Monday,
but the general rate on call loans is per
cent. Discounts are active. Lenders are
disposed to take literally at current rates.
Prime names are quoted at 5@7 per cent.
Gold is less active but steady. q
Very great dissatisfaction is felt at the
action of Erie Directors in accepting fur
ther loans from Mr.. Drew. ltappears that
recently the company borrowed further
sum from that Director. making its total in-
debtness to him $l,750,000, upon 1000 shares
of common stock as collateral, the 14,0OO
shares returned by Mr.. Drew some months
ago having been rehypatheSated to him.
