 After his daily tour of all ships in the lower bay, Dr. Walser reports the result of his inspection as follows:
 BOHEMIA.
 Left Dr. Nash on board to superintend Immigration and disinfection. This ves- sel, as we'll as the Scandia, had previous ly been disinfected with creoline and car bolic acid, both evidently worthless for the purpose.
 HELIGoLAND.
 Supplied with chloride and ordered disinfection of forecastle and washing of clothing.
 All we'll, except one case of measles.
 sCANDIA.
 All we'll; disinfection and washing con- tinued.
 NoRMANNIA.
 Cabin passengers baggage disinfected and removed.
 All we'll.
 Only one consumptive patient on board: too weak to be removed. The cahin naSSaOcers of the RupiQ 0n board the New Hampshire are extremely we'll satisfied. The vessel is we'll sup piled with everything that is needed.
 The arrival of the Bohemia yesterday morning concluded the list of the expect ed suspects" of the Hamburg-American Company. She carried 65S steerage, 10 | cabin and 77 crew-a total of TAO souls The record of the voyage for sickness was l not serious, as compared with the ships of the line previously quarantined, though | this vessel, it was feared, would be the banner ship, in point of mortality, from | the scourge, having sailed from the plague city Sep. 5.
 The Bohemia has been for many years in the service, and since the { appearance of the fast express steamers she has been devoted almost entirely to the immigrant business. Dr. Byron after a visit to the Bohem ia, l reported that there were eleven deaths at | sea on the steamer and that four cases have been removed to Swinburne Island. | The Suevia arrived from Hamburg dur 1 ing the night. The ship is in first class condition. She carries 82 cabin passen- gers and a crew of91. No disease appeared during the voyage, and there are no indi- cations of any.
 The patients at the islands are doing well with one exception, a case from the Bohemia, which will probably result fa- tally.
 Capt Savig, of the Norwegian steam ship Kitty, which arrived during the night from Baracoa, reported the death | of his steward He at first refused to state the nature of the disease, and tn 6 | Kitty was held for a time. After an in ] vestigation it was found that the man had died of fever, and had no symtoms of cholera. The vessel was then released and proceeded to her dock.
 Several suspected cases of cholera have been reported on Staten Island during the past two or three days, and, although upon investigation, they have been re- ported to be other diseases than Asiatic cholera, there has been quite @ scare in the respective neighborhoods of the sus- pected cases.
 There has not been a single case of genuine cholera discovered on Staten Isl and ao Fort Hamilton, or along the Jer- | Sey COdSU, anu the nedlCn OLuCcrS say Cnh1 there is no danger of the infection gettin g ashore through the sanitary lines that are now established.
 Lottie Collins, the English singer, who was among the passengers of the Nor mannia, released yesterday, is quite i'll. Quarantine in Jamaica.
 KINGSTON, Sep. 17-In view of the reports of cholera in New York, it has been ordered that all vessels arriving a in Jamaica from any port of the United States be subject to quarantine for period in the discretion of the authorities
