JERSEY IMPATIENT FOR FIGHT.

The war feeling IN Trenton and vicinity contin-
ues in the same feverish state as when the news
was first spread Of the inhuman butcheries perpe-
trated by Burriel and his horde OF Spanish cut
throats. In military circles as well as In all other
places where citizens are wont to assemble lor

the Cuban question monopolizes attention. The
waT-scarred veterans OF many battlefield ana
the young and rising generation are eager Tor thc
fray to man. Judging from the free and open
manner IN which they all express their indigna-
tion 5000 stalwart boys in blue could be mustered
into active service within few days from TINS

being made them OF bounty or compensaton

Plan OF Relief.

Mass Meeting Last Night to Devise .
Plan OF Relief.
There being considerable dissatisfaction about
the plan OF relief proposed by the Paterson city
authorities and the fact that there was manifest
lack OF disposition on the part OF the public to
operate in the proposed plan by subscribing to the
city bonds Mayor Townsend acceded to a wide
spread sentiment and called public meeting,
which was held last night in the wigwam IN Broad
way OF that city.
The building, though large one was crowded
by an audience representing all classes OF people,
from the mechanic and laboring man out Of work
TO the prominent, wealthy citizen.
The object OF the meeting was, of course sup
posed to be the formation OF plan to ala the sur
fering poor, who now begin to become dependent
for sustenance in large numbers upon the benevo-
lence OF those more favored in worldly goods.
There was plenty OF individual charity, but there
was SO much want OF system that 1t did not extend
to any thing like the dimensions desired To con-
solldate the general ideas, which every one mad 10
offer, into some practical whole, was the OBJECT
which induced the calling OF the meeting
The meeting was called to order by Mayor
Townsend and organized by the selection OF ex-
Mayor John Ryle as Chairman, and the usual secre-
taries, together with list OF vice presidents, COM
spoke were Rev. Messrs. Magic, Clarke and others,
Father McNuty DR.. lnglis, Socrates Tuttle, Mr..
Ryle, Hon. G. A. Hobart, Adam Carr and numerous
others.

public work as proposed, and also asking them TO
establish general relieving depot for the supply
OF provisions. A committee OF five was also APP
each ward, who Will perfect the organization Of a

QUARANTINE MATTERS.

The season Of rigid quarantine restriction which
terminated few weeks since was q busy and anx-
tous one, and but few persons In this section Of
the country were more delighted at the appear
ance Of frost than were the officers attached to
the station on Staten Island.
ON the 18th OF October the Lower Bay quaran-
tine was raised. At that time sickness had nearly
ceased ON board arriving vessels, though the port
OF New Orleans was more to be dreaded than
any other the change in the weather per-
mitting inspections to De made In the Upper
Bay. On the 1st instant the quarantine
from foreign ports are only subjected TO the pre-
cautionary measures which exist throughout the
year, detentions being confined to those that are
iound with sickness on board. Since the raising
OF the quarantine three or four cases OF smallpox
have been found on vessels from English and Ger
among III the hundreds of arrivals. There have also
been detected several cases OF yellow fever among
seamen belonging to the United States Navy, sent
from New Orleans to the Brooklyn yard, and s0mo
have appeared within six weeks.
The malignant type Of yellow fever which has
been prevalent on the South American coast for
several years, during the season just passed and
similar to many preceding it, reached places
which ylc nave tns weesy commerce with New
particularly active. AS announced by the Health
O1lcer about month since, over 60 cases OF yel-
many OF them despite the care which they re-
ceived, proved fatal 1t is easily proven by etatls-
tics that Havana has furnished one-third and the
that comes to our port. And 1t can also be proven
that II the port OF Havana and others that coast
were made healthy, as n capable OF being done
reaching New YORK would be diminished nne-
tenths. or the risk in that proportion.
Everything is very quiet AZ quarantine just now
and no danger Is apprehended from any quarter,
but cholera, SO long as 1t exists In Europe, might
make Its appearance at any time.

like stranded whale and fan an easy prey. The
great draugnt OF these vessels-none Of them
drawing less than 10 feet-renders them oi no
use except IN very deep water. About the only
port on our coast which they could enter without
trouble would be Newport, II. !. 1t has been argued
that, in case OF war with SPAIN the policy OF the
Spaniards would be to attack our ports along the
coast but this is not believed by our naval officers
They express the opinion that
TEE SPANISH NAVY WOULD CONCENTRATE ABOUT
with view to prevent an attack by the American
forces that island should they attempt to
come on our coast they would be used up very
soon. The Spaniards would no doubt make every
attempt TO break up our commerce on the hign
seas; but our wooden vessels would not be en-
tirely useless, as many suppose would be
the case. Armed as many OF them are, with IL
and l5nch guns, they would be efficient to great
extent In protecting our commerce against Span
sh vessels OF similar construction which would be
used to prey upon American commerce. 1t must
be borne IN mind, too, that several Of
THE BEST IRON.CLADs WHICH SPAIN HAD ARE NOW
IN THE HANDS OF THE INTRANSIGENTES
at Cartaeen and before they could oe used against
us some arrangement would have to be made by
the Spanish government to reconcile this dis
orderly element at home and regain possession OF
the vessels, which is not at all probable. Every
Spanish snip captured or disabled by one OF our
vessels wonld be out OF the way entirely, as their
places could not be supplied, the Spanish
Republic being very poor and heavily in
debt. Hence 1t is believed their navy would soon
be destroyed. Most OF the vessels they now nave
were built in either England or France, and as the
means for furnishing iron alone suitable for u
ships armor very limited in Spain, they could
not carry on the building OF vessels OF war to any
extent, while we could easily send out new and
powerful ones frequently. The wooden frigates OF
Spain inferior TO ours and would not be able to
wage successful fight with American vessels Of
this class

ENGLISH INTERVENTION AT MADRID.

To THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD
The object of Mr.. Layard's Intervention at Mad
rid in the present crisis ought to be made clear TO
the American public. 1t may be broadly asserted
that every step he has taken, and will take is
made in the interest Of the English holders OF
spanish bonds. As a rule these English bond
holders rant about the utter want Of honor and
patriotism in this country. Now, when 1t suits
their interest they call for arbitration and II they
succeed, as they desire, in adding another stigma
to our nag they will laugh at US with broader
grin than ever.
Last year Spain was unable to pay the interest
on her bonds to John Bull. There was immense
trouble over the matter However, by private
arrangement with the Rothschllds and English
merchant princes, the money was finally raised.
these interested parties having taken other
guarantees from Spain for the interest paid.
These few facts explain the object and motive Of
English Intervention at Madrid John Bulbs
breeches' pockets are touched in this matter, ans
there is nothing so sacred. Yours, &c, ID. ]. NJ
