which has acquired the unenviable notoriety of
having transported the cholera to our shores,
beloncB to the National Steam Navisation Com-
any, and 1b said to be a flret-class iron steamer,
ho is announced to lnnvn the citv of JSCW York,
l'lcr No. 47, N. It., on Saturday, the 21st April,
for Queenatown; but prohahly It will be now
ome time before she again points her prow to
the Old World shores, ilavln.n on board a great
number of German inimijtrants, she steamed
down the Mersey Irom one ot the Liverpool
docks on the 4th of the present month, and
careered along her watery way across 8t.
Ucortte's Channel, to Qucenstown, where sho
touched on the following day and took In a
large number of pr.ssenjrers, in all 1043, of the
usual cUvs, with the exception of some in the
cabin, that usually land at Castle Garden.
She left Queenstown on the evening of the 5th,
and steering past the fortress and cottage
crowned height of the Cove of Cork, leaving
that terror to evil-doers. rjpitce Island, tar ne
hiud, the revolving light ot Cnpe Clear Light
house flashed on her farewell beam towards
evening as she bent her course acrops the wide
Atlantic, and left the rock-bound shores of Ire
land and steamed away against a head of wiud
across the weary waMe of waters to the shores
whither the thousand hopeful hearts ol her liv
ing freight were loudly turned. For six days
she ploughed along. There were the usual
scenes on t-hipboard. The passengers endan
gered to while away the tedium and irksomeness
of a long sea voyage in narrow, uncomfortable,
but, withal, as cood as provided elsewherc.quar
tcrs, by the devices to which persons uider
suck circumstances have recourse. Such as were
sot sea-sick danced and sung, told stories ot the
pant, indulged in dreams of the future, little
anticipating the terrible fate which was scon to
overtake many of them.
On the .fiith day, towards evening, there was
considerable excitement on board. Bailors are
generally, ' with all their recklessness, very
auperstitious people, and an "old tar" who was
on board, on looking over the side on the even
ing in question observed several sharks in the
snip's wake, and immediately communicated
the fact to some of bis fellow-passengers, who,
such of them as had heard ot the old nautical
tradition to the effect that when a shark follows
a ship a death will certainly occur, were of
course considerably frightened, and anxiously
looked at ench other as if asking the question.
'Which of us is doomed?" tixcepl the usual
Bca-sickness incident to a voyage, no symptoms
of disease hud up to this time been developed,
but nevertheless the spirit ol the plague was
following fast, and, having at length overtaKen
the fated ship, he nervously clutched the rudder-chains
and soon the tiend was on board, and
stalking do n Into the hold, where a thousand
eyelids were closed in sleep, the monster laid
his clammy fingers now on one brow and now
on another, imprinting there the fatal sign
which marked thm tor the harvest of death.
The snip's physician announced the next day
three cases of cholera in that stilling, suffocating,
ill-ventilated hold. The patients were, ot course,
removed to a portion ot the ship fitted up as a
hospital, and before evening two had died. The
disease broke out amonsr the German passengers,
and was at once pronounced as ot a most ma
lignant character. Other passengers were at
tacked one aitcr another, and before the arrival
of the ship in our harbor last Wednesday even
ing, thirty-eight deaths occurred, two of the
crew being among the number. The ship's doc
tor is a regularly licensed physician, and every
thing that medical skill could do was done for
the unfortunate victims. But all in vain;
thirty-eight bodies, now one, and now another,
-were encased in their canvas coverings, the
weights attached to them, and amid the prayers
for the departed slowly consigned to an ocean
prave. One short slide along the gangway, one
phort splash, a few eddying bubbles, the ship
pasEcd on, and the talent graves were filled, be
neath the tablet where man can trace no name.
' ASSISTANCE.
The Virginia reached the New Quarantine
between 6 and 7 o'clock on Wenesday evenine,
and was soon after boarded by Dr. Swinburne,
the Health Officer, and some ot the other een
tleonen connected with the Quarantine Office,
whe, on entering the steerage, found thirty-fcix
of the passengers sick. He soon found that
they were the victims of the Asiatic cholera,
and at once ordered the vessel to the Lower
Bay, about twenty miles from New York. Three
deaths occurred in trie course ot the evening.
The passengers who had escaped contaerion
were, of course, anxious to leave the ve3sel,"but
xneir demand could not De satisned. JJr. Uwin-
turne called on Mr. Curtiss, the President of
the Quarantine tommlsslon, shortly alter he
left the ship, and arransemenU were made to
meet the emergency. The doctor pronouncel
ine disease cnoiera, ana immediate etiorts were
made to check its progress.
The hospital ship Florence Nightingale, with a
large quantity of medical supplies, sailed at 7
ociock yesterday morning from Kod Hook
foiui. witn via. BwinDiiriie, u. uissei. and liar-
come on board. The Illinois, which has been
-placed at the disposal of the Quarantine Com
mission by the Government, went down last
evening. Such of the passengers as have not
been attacked will be placed on board her: the
other passengers aro to be removed to the hos
pital ehip, and the Virqmia will then be fumi
gated. The Emvire . City has also been sent
down, and In consequence of the preparations
which have been made the disease will probably
oe connncci to tne Liower quarantine and effectu
ally checked,
REPORT OK Dlt. SWINBURNE.
Dr. Swinburne makes the following state
ment:
"The steamer Virginia arrlvod at the Lower
Quarantine about 6 o'clock on Wednesday evening.
Bue was at once ooardod and examined by Dr. Bur
dett, wbo, after making the uiual medical examina
tion, louud 28 ot the paseniiers in the eteorane
lying sick ot cholera. The doctor immediately made
a communication of the laotto me. and I went on
board, and found the sick suff ring from Asiatic
cholera. 1 hey had all the positive evmitoins ot the
disease. Their laces were of a dusky color, their
eves were tunaen, arm they iiad the purjiinxs in
cident to the disease. Their handa mirf h
shrunk, and tney had also all the other svniptoins.
The Burgeon's assistant had been stricken with
it, and ins place nau to be suopned. 1
immediately ordered Dr lilssel to have the Virginia
eut down to the Luwer Hay, and not to permit tue
vasreueers to land under any circumstances, in
addition to those wuo were Wing sioic 1 found ton or
twelve others who were luhoiiug undor the disease
in ta mciuieut form, luo passengers wuo had
escaped (he disease were lull of aporehension lest
their continuance on board tmyht be the means of
their takinr it. and they were anxious to leavo the
Bliiu 1 lound ibattluee persons bad Clod while tho
vi ssel was comit'ir to the Lower Bay. Alter msking
the lequisitu examination, 1 le it the steamer, aud
nrnue the nto ssary arrangements to have the slct
atteLded. and the disease limited to the vessel on
which it broke out."
STATEMENT OP lilt. HURST.
Mr. Hurst, the Aeent of the National Steam-
fchip Company, states that the steamer left Liver
pool on Wednesday, the 4th of April. Four
davs alter the disease broke out on the Virginia.
It was confined to tho Oeruian passengers in the
etciraere. There were one hundred cases of
cholera during the voyage, tn loity-oueof which
the patients becamo couvalescent. Thirty-eight
deaths had occurred, and the bodies were buried
at sea. When the vessel arrived at quarantine
twenty-one were found suffering from the
cholera.
A large quantity of fresh provisions has been
sent down to tlie ship, and every precaution
taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
rBKCATTIONABT.
Dr. Swlnhnrne, the Htalth Officer, requests
all pilots bringing in ships with sickness on
board to leave their vessels in tho Lower Bay
until they shall have been boarded by the
Health Officer.
Thoneh the cholera is almost at our doors,
knocking for admittance, it may not yet be too
late to prevent the entrance of such an unwel
come visitor. Cleanliness, regular diet, a disuse
ot stimulants, and an avoidance of excess of
all descriptions, and the use of plenty of the
Croton fluid, will do much towards avoiding the
disease. Though wo have almost shaken
hands, very unwillingly indeed, with the
monster, we trust he will not make a call until
at least a more cordial invitation te extended to
him. jew York tribune.
CITY INTELLIGENCE
For Additional City Intelligence tee Ihirdl'age.
The Matob'8 Ortjem. Tha order of
Mayor McMiebnel, prohibiting persons from
stopping for the purpose ot consultation upon
the corners of the streets, not only created con
siderable remark to-day, but gave rise to a
number of amusing incidents. The officers
with great propriety and politeness discharged
their delicate, a i.d by no means pleasant duty;
and wherever two persons were found oecupy
ine the street, they were requested to "move
on." It revived our recollection of Dickens'
"Joe," who was being "moved on" continually.
This movement of the Mafyor looks to a con
clusion which will strike every mind favorably;
but which, If carefully considered, will be
found to be absurd. The order must, ol neces
sity, become inoperative. Neither the Mayor
nor any ot tier oinciat nas tne ngnt to decide at
what particular location two or more persons
shall converse.
The streets are public property, and no one
can be disturbed unless they are violating some
known law. We hav an ordinance that meets
the ease of obstructing the highway, and any
caught in the act should bo promptly punished,
but we imagine that no one ever supposed that
the law makers intended that citizens should be
deprived ot the privilegfr ot saying a few wordn
to each other wherever they might happen to
meet. There is no doubt of the fact that por
tions of our business Ftreeta are freauentlv
blocked up by loungers who do not seem to have
any special business on hand, and they are de
cided nuisances: but the same rule does not hold
good where centlemen meet, and are engaged
in quiet conversation, and interfering with no
If the Mayor has the privilege or taking
Eossession of the corners, we see no reason why
e should not also take the entire sidewalk and
the d orsteps. The trouble is, that the order is
too sweepins to be letral, and in a very lew
weeks no officer will attempt to enforce it. It
would be much better to keep the professional
loafers from the fronts of the drinking saloons
than to prohibit courtesy between gentle
men who may only meet occasionally and desire
to enjoy a short iutetview.
FlEE AT TUE 'lNQClBElt" ESTABLISH
MENT. Aboul 9 o'clock last evenine a tire broke
out In the tourth floor ot the Inquirer Building.
No. 304 Chcsnut street. The room la used ai a
portion ol the extensive fob printing establish
ment connected with the Inquirer. When the
flames were flrst discovered, it was feared that
serious consequences would ensue, but owing
to the remarkably prompt application of water
by the neighboring tire companies, and the ac
tive exertions ol tne Bremen, beaded bv Cblet
Engineer Lyle, and Asslsta.it Engineer Terence
McCusker, who were almost immediately on the
ground, the ilames were confined entirely to the
spot where the tire originated. .

toriai rooms, and the spacious office on the
lower floor, w well saturated with water. The
largo composing room, on the fifth story, es
caped without injury ol any description. Tho

located one mammoth "Hoe's lost Past." and

A large Doner, wnicn nas iust been placed in
the cellar of the building, and a steam engine
constitute the remainder ot the machinery, all
of which escaped with very slight injury. In the
rear of the office, on tho ground floor, was an
amount of white paper, in readiness tor
this morning's issue of the Inquirer, which for
tunately escaped Iniury. The paper appeared
nearly at tne usual hour this morning. Aa soon
as the fact became known that the Inquirer
Building was on Are, the proprietor of the paper
received immediately proiiers oi assistance irom
a large number of contemporaries.
