Resignation of Comptroller Campbell.
 NEW YORK, July 27.-Comptroller Allan Campbell this afternoon sent his resignation to Mayor Edson to take effect August 1st. Although much had been said of the possi- bilities of his leaving the office, the resigna- ton at this particular time was a surprise to everyone especially to the Mayor and to the Deputy Comptroller Storrs both expressed surprise. In his letter Mir. Campbell says :: q am advised by my attending and consult ing physicians that absolute rest, immediate and for a longer period than could possibly spare from the confning duties of my office, is my only chance for permanent restoration to health. Under these circumstances have with great reluctance concluded to re- sign my ofice' Again he adds: "My regret at being compelled by illness to take this action is more poignant in view of the important additional duties devolved on the department at the last ses- sion of the legislature, in the discharge of which I would gladly have done my share, and also in view of the wrongs recently dis covered in the department, the complete in vestigation of which was and am most anx- ious to aid. Absolute physical prostration is, however, an impeachment with which 1t is useless to contend, and by it, and it alone, I am compelled to give up a work which had hoped to do to the satisfaction of my friends, the public, and my co officials in the city government" This resignation leaves vacancies in the board of estimate and ap- pointment, sinking fund commission and sev- eral other important executive offices.

The health steamer Samuel Little patrols the lower channels of the har- bor and every vessel from foreign port is boarded. If the vessel has 8 clean bill of health she is permitted to pass If not, she is detained at quarantine. The steamer Missouri, which is expected here tomorrow with rags in her cargo, will be detained at quarantine.
