GROSS 1NRFFroIRNcY AND NRoLRcr.
A Tammany Democrat and Republi
can, together with an independent Alder
man, Mr. Attendorf, have united in a re
port 10 the Board Of Aldermen, in which
tho Police Commissioners are charged
with gross lnefllCiency, great negligence
and 14grant neglect OF law, and tht
Mayor 70 urged to remove those who are
responsible for the decentralization in The
department. When tho Mayors attention
was called to the structures Of the Lepis
latiVe Committee on the abuses In I'M
Street Cleaning Bureau, he intimated thaI
tho Committee had been appointed ioi
partisan purposes. This insinuation 4
repelled in this report and a second count
is added to the indictment against the
Police Commissioners by pointed refer
ence to the evidence taken in the Courts
In regard TO the appointment and removal
o. inspectors and other Irregularities on
election day.

TIE QUESTION OF PREcRDRNoE STILL UN.
SETTLED.
A London letter says that the absence
on q recent occasion OF the Duke and
Duchess Of Edinbnrg from the Queens
drawing room has naturally attracted at.
tention and revived the rumor ol DISPUTE
az 10 the precedence, The Duke and
Duchess went to the formers drawing
room and 1t was supposed that the matter
had been satisfactorily adjusted, but II
seems there is still q hitch somewhere
The Duke Of Edingburg ranks next 10
the Prince Of Wales, but tho point Is
whether the Duchess should come next
to the Princess oi Wales. In the case oi
Princess. Louise and the MARQUIS OF
LOrne, the husband and wife are sepa-
rated, the husband being sent TO the rear
with the gentlemen In waiting. Another
grievance Of the Duchess is said 10 be the
poor and Insignificant appearance Of the
Clarence House, which Is to be her per.
manent home as soon as the repairs are
completed. It stands in what Ia known
as thestable yard Of the ST. James, though
1t has the st. James Palace on one
side, and the Switzerland House, the
Duke Of Southerland's palace, on the
other. Still It occupies au obscure and
backward position. The Clarence House
has been considerably improved, and the
interior is well enough, but It's external
aspect will always be mean and shabby,
For want OF proper entrance, 1t Is like a
house in an alley. There has been some
talk ofthe Duke Of Edinburg purchasing
a magnificent mansion at Kensineton, i'm.
medistely facing the Gardens.

smashing tho windows, breaking open
tho doors, and throwing the machinery,
barrels, furniture, and all they could lsy
hold Of into the Danube. The riot did
not subside until the proprietors Of the es.
tablishment declared their willingness 10
sell at the old prices. Since then no fresh
outbreaks have occurred.

NEW York, May ga Joint confer.
once Of the Boards of Health and Chari-
ties with members of the Social Science
Association was held this morning, Or,
Stephen Smith read an esssy on Tho du.
ties Of City Health Boards. He thought
that the first duty Of q health board was
to effect a more complete system OF vital
registration, which should not only in
olude q record OF births, deaths and mar.

itlcation Of diseases.
By the adoption OF proper sanitary
measures the cholera had lost its terrors
and the ravages Of small pox and yellow
lever had been limited. The proper duiies
oil the health board were to prevent com.
merce and immigration from interfering
with the public health, to isolate all cases
Of continuous diseases, to destroy the con.
taglous principle and TO thorouehlv sinner.
wise all trades and business, which len.
dered to create special diseases. The
schools also should be superintended; bad
dwellings be vacated or cleaned, nuisances
abated, intemperance suppressed, and the
health OF the public In general guarded.
a resolution was adopted setting forth
that It was the sense Of this meeting that
health boards should be established
Throughout all the States and that regis
tratlon should be one Of the duties Of the
boards.
