It is added, as usual, that he is not worse, but better than he has lately been, but that he cannot hope for complete restoration to health without a respite from work. "s -not at all-r-e-marka-ble-that--e the first three political leaders of England should be invalided at the same time. The only wonder is that anybody survives the tre mendous work which such men in England have to do. The most splendid talents go for nothing in England unless they have a robust physique to rest on. The quality most valued and most essential to a public man is tough ness. • Mr. Gladstone has that, yet even Mr. Gladstone has been ill this session from having had to take personal charge of the Irish Land bill in the 1101/Se., In addition to his proper labors as head of the Government. If Mr. Bright had been well,a great part of the work would have fallen to him. In his alsence there is nobody who can be trusted: Such a bill belongs to 3I r. Fortescue,the Chief Secretary for-Ireland. Mr. Eortescue's knowledge of Ireland and of the bill is perhaps more complete than Mr. Gladstone's ' but he has little_ power in the House. Nobody else has 'done much. Mr. Lowe lets spoken, but he was put tip more to show that he had given his adhesion to a measure once hateful to him than because any real help was expected from him. Happily, the bill is nearly through the Lower House, and Mr. Gladstone will have a sort of respite: that is, he will bear his own work, which is not, perhaps, more than two or three times as much as an unusually hard-working man could get threugh.

A Steamer limas •es It. -- The Washington Stai."6l last, night says Yesterday Afternoon a tiad break was made in the Long Bridge. The. teamer Rattlesnake, laden with a thousand tons of coal, left the - Consolidation Company's wharf; Georgetown. shortly after five o'clock P. M., for a Northern port, and as she neared. the Long Bridge the ,draw on the Virginia side was opened to allow her to pass through. For some rea son the steamer, instead of. keeping in her course, drifted to the eastward, striking the pier immediately north of the draw, destroy ing not less than one hundred and fifty feet of the bridge, all of which will have to be rebuilt. The steamer was wedged into the 'broken. timbers, and considerably damaged about the bow and larboard side. This is the third accident to this portion of the bridge by yessels running into it within, the past month: Travel will necessarily be suspended until re- Pairs are made, which cannot be done until on appropriation is made by Congress, as Gen. Michler has no funds ou band forthe purpose. We trust Congress will take speedy action in the matter..

Editor of l'ulletin.4lin.: It appears to me to be'a very serious matter that all the 'proner. precautions to arrest the extension of this -fe ver are not being taken. At the same time, the atmospheric conditions and this season of the year tend altogether to favor its growth, and its invasion of new localities. We have just seen it start from a new centre, Green street wharf, and cases are manifesting themselves in private practice. Within a few years past the , method by winch epidemic diseases are propagated has ,•.• •:- $••—•• •$: dished— u=tfr~Case of cholera this has been studied out with great care. A commission expressly , appointed by fhe French Government left France for the East, and made an exhaustive examination of the origin and spread of the disease, and from their report, by M. Fauvel, I quote the follow ing conclusions to which they arrived: ~ The our winch is breathed out, and that which.becornes charged from the dPjeetions of the sick, are the principal agents.of the transmis sion of cholera." " The linen and other clothing which has been used, by the cholera patieniz may also be the agents of transmission:'., • "Localities impregnated with the detritus "of cholera patientelnay,Thr_klorig time retain the. Property of disseminating ‘ the. morbid° principle, - and' fluts - kdep - up an epideudc or start it afresh." • 'The generating principle of cholera ceases -tO exist,- or at-least to-inanifest—ite - action— a, t very short distance'frorn its source." About one hundred yardi is afterwards stated as the . limit.; r - • • • _ ag,glomerationsof men.into which the cholera Is introduced present a favorable con dition for the rapid extension of. the disease, and the epidemic becomes naore',violent if this agglomeration is under unfavorable hygienic, conditions, a.mongst which conditions must be reckoned want; with all its consequences ; a sickly• condition of individuals ; the warm season'; want of ventilation, and exhalations of ground impregnated with organic matter." Other competent observers have come to verysimilar conclusions: 'lndeed it may be said that there are no tmaterial differences of opinion on this subject. The selapsin . cholera, is an epidemic, and , there igwvery reason to believe that it is governs' =b laws Similar to those that'hold with chOlera, and which have been proved also to hold with ty - pliold fever. It is therefore perfectly legitimate, to extend them Jo_the_Telapsiuglev_er. Now there is no doubt whatever tl:iat, how- ever well meant 'may be the measures now taken iv this city - -, they are lusitllicient and .ineffectual— 1.1. - now.it to be a tent that z when a case of fever has declared itself in any house - and has been removed, and the house purified by the authorities,-yet,- neverthelessi-other members of the family; Or any new- tenants that occupy the .Ifouse, are generally struck down. • The defect I believe to be as follows; The' house-i ti cleaned-and-whitewashed:and-the privy is emptied, if, it be full' But, In fact, it is very nearly as dangerous when. partly full, as when entirely-fnll. -The defections of the :patients are there, and they constitute the principal danger.

Burningis the only etlicacious treatment. And•this,„fta matter to he confided to the most trusty bands only, for there is, of course. a temptation to make a shameful gain --bv-selling-i-and--so-disseminating-seedsof-the [ disease. It is probable that this fever has been brought to us from Irelaud. Just so the last arf!—was-tr=ed straight from the East by steamers landing at Marseilles. The very first cases that occurred in Marseilles were fully identified as having landed from these steamers. The history of one ease especially, was traced out. The in dividual wag'placed in a hospital, and some twenty or- thirty cases declared themselves m mind. h taus Amid tivit uus J —/// eVery owe Of 11(177,t'i attacked hatl—ased the same water-closet as the patient, except at a point some miles away, and that proved to be the washerwoman who bad washed' his clothes ; if I remember right, her whole family died. And it is these two points to which I desire to invite especial attention in the present ease: First, the need of a perfect disinfecting of all the privy-wells through the triers ; second, the propriety of destroying the linen, &e.,,0f the - patients, and their' bed fur niture. The whole city should be districted and a competent, intelligent physician put in charge of each district, , with a proper remu neration. M. G. L. Wall Street Brokers and Tobacco Mer chant:s Defrauded.the Extent of $150,000. The N. Y. Sun says : The absconding last Monday of the. xnem hers of a well-known and hitherto respected firm in Water street has created much sur prise among down-town business men. The tirm of C. F. A. Seitz, wholesale dealers in tobacco at 150 Water street, was of such good standing that the 'report of their disappear ance was first doubted ; there can be no doubt, however, of the fact. They leave behind them liabilities of about $160,000. On Monday C. Seitz went to Albert Frank & Bro., brokerSiof• 2G Prowd street, and ph-. taiued $11,460-worth of -United- States• bonds, giving as payment a check 'for that amount, which, on presentation at the bank, was re fused, Seitz having a balance of only $l,BOO. In a similar way he purchased 510,000 worth of five-twenties from Frank Gans,bankers, 14 Wall street, giving a check on the Chemi cal Bank, which on presentation was found to be worthless. Another firm was in like man ner taken in to the amount of $lO,OOO. On the discovery of the fraud search wa.s made for Seitz, but in vain, and the case was put in the hands of the Superintendent of Po- The firm, it appears, had disposed of their entire stock,and had had it privately removed; but to avoid suspicion, a few cases from other firms were kept for storage in the lower floor of their warehouse, but these were also se cretly removed a day or two since: The steam ers leaving this port have been closely watched. It is Supppsed that Seitz is secreted somewhere in the . • - eity. Charles Seitz, the senior partner in the firm, has been doing a great thing lately in fast horses and high living in lifth : avenue, spending money lavishly ; but still those who know him state that he is by no means short of money, and has more than will cover his liabilities. It is doubtful whether he can be held on a charge of fraud, could he be arrested. THE nELAiisuito nr.ving.

We havejast examined the designs for the Hum boldt monument; as displayed in the Library of the German Society, over the office of the Gas Works, in Seventh street. Seven designs have been submitted, two of which are from the awe artist, Mr. Alfred Stauch. Mr... Stauch's oonceptions are pre.sented in the form of two large drawings, Which catch the eye first as they bang near the door way; one represents a large octagonal granite monument .- havfng a wreath of oak in relief around the upper part. On this stands a full-length statue of Hfunboldt, with-a great owl by his side, From the tint we should imagine a bronze treat ment to be intended for the statue, though Mr. Stauch's skill as a marble-sculptor would pre suppose arecourse to his accustomed mate rial ; ' his other design' represents a more modest memorial, being simply a bust Pet upon a square, tapering granite pedestal. The latter, in either case, would be worked by Mr. George A. Heinemann, at his yard, corner Ridge avenue and Wallace street. In their smaller up-stairs room the Society have arranged five plastermodels, contributed by five other sculptors H. Buhl displays a full-length statue of Humboldt, raised on a tall- square• base, one side of which is decorated with a wreath, two others'with &Meets in relief, - showing Hum boldt in his functions as Professor and as Voyager, while the panel in the fourth is blank for an inscription- In the general effect, the simple cube of this monument is some what harsh... INext stands the model sent over from Rome by Harnisch, the young Philadelphia sculptor whose talent we have several times defended.. This likewise-shows a - Siluare - soclei but the corners are skilfully relieved by — advancing brittresseS. The statue--•surmounting it was - modeled by arr. Harnisch with peculiar ad- Nantages. At the time of its conception the. _ Artist hadjust - traveled,atfoliglithe chief cities ottiepxtany, with the preparation of this figure foils mind; he had accordingly inspected, the jlike l aitid most . atithentic portraits of the ittiiii4 - 6 - * had conversed with those -famil iirrgtirttli 4flirson, and examined the archi-, lgietnealfillidittatla raised to Erunbeldt by his .hytvgstivitexpie74;_,ti i ttxtue of the sage is a f dirii ufelikieujnarkintottAtion,- a perfect fac simile ,of the original in his best - days. - Its frank and obvious troth seems to give a look of senility and feebleneqs to the other models presented,--Mr,—llarnisch--has—placed---lieside this effigy a group of symbolic figures, which would, in our opinion, look better • • 4. a • in Ow, fortri_of_bas Mr. Him contributes a model of a some what (nitre and singular conception. Having, perhaps the mystic value of the triangle, in some of the old philosophies, before his mind, he has prepared a monument of that form—a triangu ar pyramid, with female figures sit ting in meditation at each corner. On the truncated apex is placed the statue of the au thor of Kosntos. Another design is four-square, with reliefs on the sides, and a statue a-top. We could not learn the name of the artist. This is prepared on a larger scale than the others, but has not for that reason a better effect. Charles Menth, of Camden, ,sends over a small model for a statue, without indicating the form of 'support , he means to give his work. Of all the models it is to be noted that they are but sketches, and the finished sculpture is to be supposed to he quite different and: su perior. Excellent artists have in very vary ing degree -the faculty of putting. out a neat and craftsmanlike sketch. The obvious su periority, therefore, of Messrs. Harnisch and Biro's models do not necessarily represent a finished result of proportionate advantages. The composition and bordering line, and the effect as a whole, are the important things, 'and these may be judged fairly from the sketches. Although without the least disposition to interfere in the intelligent consideration given these , designs by. President .Horstmann. 'and the committee, ive . eattniit forbear calling attention to the peculiar value of Harnisch's statue as a life-like and authentic portrait of Humboldt in' his prim,e, and at the epoch of his traVels in America and also, in case something more modest, simple and economi cal should be necessary, to the smaller drawing of Mr. Stanch; as a safe, handsome and tasteful device. TKIE SMALL.PDX IN PARIS. Ravages of the Disease. "Of the magnitude which the present epi demic of small-pox has attained in the French capital some idea may be formed," remarks the Lancet, "when we state that the deaths returned last week numbered 195, being an increase of sixteen on the previous week's return. The population of Paris is less than half that of London, yet the maximum num ber of deaths occurring in the latter city du ring 'any week of the year of greatest smallliox fatality .for a third of a cen tury never reached one hundred. No less than 1,940 fatal cases 'have occurred in Paris in the . twenty. weeks elapsed of the present year, a mortality equivalent to an annual death rate of - 2.7 per 1,000 of the population, the corresponding ratio for Lon don being 0.1 per 1,000. • There appears to be not the slightest question that this most la mentable state of things in the. French capital is attributable to the neglect • , or vaccination. Nobody doubts that the relative efficacy of animal, as distinguished from human vaccine, is an important scientific question; but it is Unfortunate (to say the least) that the public mind of the: Parisians.should have been un settled, and their faith in the Jennerian prin ciple shaken, at a time when small-pox is raging epid6niically is Unix city."
