EMEEM
The Board of Health sent a copy of preamble
and resolutions adopted by them on Wednes
day last in reference to the cholera, as fol
lows :
The Sanitary Committee, to whom was re
fel - red a preamble and resolution passed by the
board Septemberith, hearing directly upon tile
present sanitary condition of our city, in view
of the steady approach of cholera towards this
western hemisphere, and the proper steps, if
any, that may be required to prevent its up
peararme and spread in our midst, beg leave
to report the following:
"In view of the present excitement regard
ing the prevalence of chol era in various places
on the continent of Europe, its rumored ap
pearance in England, and the well-grounded
apprehenid On, based upon its former history
and progresyhat at no distant - period it may
again visit tan country, the Board of Health
have not been unmindful that due provision
Should be made in season, having for its object
either to avert the disease altogether, or miti
gate its severity, should it appear in our city.
To this end they claim the early and zealous
attention of the - Mayor and Councils to the
rigid enforcement of all existing sanitary or
dinances, together with their hearty and
cheerful co-operation with this board in the
adoption and carrying out of such hygeinie
appliances as, hi a sanitary point of view, may
place our city in a condition most favorable
o resist the scourge, if it should appear, be
lieving that, at all times, prevention is bet
ter than cure,” and that to be forewarned is
:to be forearmed at the approach of an enem - r.
The present, therefore, is the time when
wholesome sanitary regulations, properly di
rected, may change the future of our city,
should cholera visit, us.
It becomes us, therefore, as the guardians of
the public health, not only to weigh weii, and
reflect carefully upon OUr responsibility in
this matter, but without delay, and by an ac
tive and thorough interpositioninstitute such
a system of sanitary and medical police as
shall be adequately adapted to meet any and
every emergency with which we may be
threatened or caned upon in the providence
Of Clod to meet.
It is neither important, nor is it expedient,
at this stage of our proceedings, as a hoard of
Health, that we should indulge in any obser
vations, or enter into any detailed inquiry as
to the origin and progress of cholera, whether
it be of domestic origin, or introduced from
:abroad—whether it is derived from an atmos
pheric or malarious poison—whether conta
gious or infectious. These questions having
been fully if not satisfactorily discussed else
where, it is sufficient for our purpose that we
familiarize oureelyes with the fact that large
arid densely-populated cities, on the hOrder.3 of
rivers, are favorite resorts for cholera, and
that the power of the disease Is increased in
proportion to the degree of insalubrity arising
from the hilitte nee of locality, and the existing
.sanitary condition of its several districts: •
in possession Of this information, weTconW
der it our first linty to be prepared to meet the
epidemic ShOuld it approach our shores. If we
procrastinate and delay action until the out
break of the disease, or until the atmosphere
has become infected with the cholera poison,
we might be held responsible for a culpable
neglect of the faittliful discharge of a sworn
trust etimraiii cd : pi lig p.g the guardians Offthe

THE lIROAD•STMT RAILROAD
Mr. liv.Aws (U.) offered a resolution instruct
ing. the Chief Commissioner of Highways to
have all obstructions on Broad street removed,
except those which are used for building fin.-
provements, with the advice of the City So
licitor.
Mr. Harown (U.) said that if we attempted
to do what the resolution suggested we would
do that which was contrary to law. Tile rail
road was being laid with the authority of the
State Legislature, which was superior in
power to City Councils. It had been repre
sented that a freight rAUWay was to be laid.
He bad satisfied himself on the subject
communicating with the president of the Cen
tral Passenger Railway.. A letter from the
president of the road was read. It states that
the rail will be the tramway rail, and the
gauge live feet two inches, and that the rail
has been approved by the board of surveys Of
this city.
EVANS (U.) stated that the Broad-street
railway had been endowed with all the frail
clAses of a freieht railroad; and though the
present otheers of that road might not intend
to run freight cars On the road, yet any subse
quent hoard has the power to turn that road
into a freight railroad. He was opposed to
officials whose salaries were paid by the city
devoting their time to outside matters detri
mental to the interests of the city. The City
Surveyor is the surveyor of the Broad-street
Passenger Railway. The Assistant City Soli
citor gets up in court to defend this railroad
against the citizens who pay him his salary.
akfr. SIMPSON (U.) contended that the rail
road company should at least have got from
the city a permit to use the streets in the same
way that private individuals were obliged to
do 5 therefore, there is no law to prevent the
Commissioner of Highways from removing
whatever obstructions have been put on Broad
street without permission. The corporate
rights of the present company were notgrant
ed at one session of the Legislature but at
several, 'lntl' now they have all the privileges
of the Pennsylvania Railroad ; and there is
nothing in their charter to prevent them run--
ning locomotives over every street in the city
which has a passenger railway upon it.
Mr. ILETzsm, (0.) advised caution. There is
no reason why sneh desperate hurry should be
made in the matter. W e are on the eve of an
election, and men talk for votes. After the
election they may believe quite differently
from -what they now profess. He was opposed
to the Legislature over-riding the city authori
ties; but he wanted to act reasonably, and
wanted the matter referred to the Committee
on Law.
Mr. SToKL - Er (U.) was in favor of immediate
action. He believed the Citizens' Passenger
Railway really intended to run dummy en
gines on their road, to connect with the Ridge•
arentte and Green and Coates-streets Hall
ways, and from them with other connecting
lines, and run dummy engines on all of them.
A year ago it was said in a railway company
hi which he (Mr. Stokley) had an interest, that
when the Citizens' Railway began to run, they
then could get the privilege from the Citizens'
Railway to run dummy engines on their road.
The resolution of Mr. I:lvans passed finally.
Mr, BILLINurox (U.) offered_ a resolution in
structing the Chief linsineer to autmend from
service the Moyamensing Hose and the Hope
Steam Fl, :-En-ine -Companies, for riotous
conduct, and report the same at next meeting
of Councils. The resolution passed.
The resolution from Select Council in refer
ence to the appointment of a Committee to
receive a committee of the Councils of St.
Louis, was taken up and passed. The chair
apbointed Messrs. Stanton, Vankirk, Hancock,
:Nickels, and Wolbert.
The resignation of Mr. Bumm was received
and accepted.
Mr. EVANS (U.) called np a resolution of in
struction to the City Solicitor in reference to
the Central Passenger Railway from Select
Council, which passed.
Mr, STORLEY (U.) called up the bill appro
priating certain lots for school purposes in the
Eighth, Ninth, Fourteenth, Seventeenth, and
Twentieth Sections. Several sections of the
bill passed, end pending the consideration of
other sections, the chamber adjourned.
THE AMERICAN GAME—KEYSTONE vs.
CAZ.IDES—THE FORMA VIUTO/UOITS.—The game
played between the Keystone and Camden
Clubs yesterday afternoon, on the Olympic
ground, was exceedingly well contested. It
resulted in a great victory for the first-named
organisation. The time occupied was two
hours and lifty-fivc minutes. The progress of
the game may be ;judged by the score of the
innings. It will be seen that the Keystone,
Jibe the Athletics on a recent occasion, made
a poor beginning but a glorious ending. At
the eLd of the fourth inning the Camd ens were
far ahetid, they having, at that period of the
game. scored 8 tp the Keystone's 5. The
friends of the Keystone wore rather long faces.
On the fifth inning the tide was turned, and
the Keystone's friends resmned their smiling
looks, while the representatives from Jersey
were evidently less buoyant than before. The
sixth inning WAS well contested ; anti there
were many sprightly scenes and feats of
agility enacted by both parties. They stray
g,ted manfully for the victory. It was here
the power of endurance of the contending
parties was put to its utmost test. At the
close of this inning the Keystone scored up
11 to the Camden's 5. This was the tug
of war. The. Keystone had made 21, and
their opponents 18. The next was a "skunk"
for the Keystone, and the Camden scored 1.
Two more innings and the Keystone only two
ahead, could be heard among the friends from.
Jersey. Now the Keystones began their work
with renewed effort, and such batting on their
pert, and such mis.catching on the part of the
Camdens, have seldom been seen in any field.
The Camdens were again " skunked," and their
friendly opponents scored 8. The friends of
the Pennsylvanians were in 'great glee. The
dainties redoubled their courage, and, with
the fearful odds against them, endeavored to
overcome it. Well-directed efforts to this
effect were made. Three were already on the
bases, when a flying ball on the out-centre
field was handsomely caught by Mr. heal; he
bad to run fifty yards to accomplish this very
extraordinary feat. It looked as though he was
assisted by the wings of Mercury, for he caught
the ball while running at right angles with
the course it was taking - . This artistic, we may
say acrobatic, display induced the mosti mu
-versa] applause. lie caught the three Camd ens
cut. The last score footed up n for the Key
stone, and another " skunk' , for the Camdens.
It was on the eighth inning that Mr.
Ivood, of the Keystone, performed a feat
of dexterity not often witnessed during
progress of a match in the great American
game. Ile was stationed in the left field. The
ball straight from the bat of one of the Cam
dens, was going with great velocity almost
straight at a distance of about six feet above
the surface of the 'field, ire caught it on its
Horizontal fly, and it seemed to say "sock"
loud enough for all the spectators to hear.
This was done before the batter had reached
half-way to the first base. The event awaken
ed the greatest =omit of enthusiasm. The
weather, it may be said, was extremely hot;
the sun casting tropiCal rays on all things
here below, and particularly into th e eyes of
the combatants. The game was an interesting
ono in many respects, and forms an unusually
brilliant page in the history of the game.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL.
There was a moderate demand for stock securities
yesterday, and Government loans especially were
in greater favor, at a further 'advance. The 18015
sold at 107 N—a further rise of 11. The 7-30 s were
W higher, selling at for the June notes and 95
for those of August. The 5-20 s were slightly off,
the new selling at 105 N. State loans are inactive.
city Os show more firmness, with light sales. For
Railroad and Canal bonds there was but slight in
quiry, the operations being confined to Camden
and Amboy 6s, 'B3, at 88; North Pennsylvania Cs at
97, and Schuylkill Navigation 6s, 'B2, at 80. Reading
Railroad shares were without change. We note an
advance of ;tg in Norristown and if in Pennsylva
nia. Oalawissa was firm at 2034. which is a further
advance of W. Camden and Amboy was steady at
1274; 50 was bid for Minehill; 20; for North Penna.
and 4834 for Northern Central. Passenger Railroads, ,
with the exception of II estonville, are still very dull
at 183,1 for Thirteenth and. Fifteenth; 18;4 for Arch
street; 34 for Green and Coates, and 20 for Union;
HeStOnellie sold at about 18. Canal shares were
unchanged; Schuylkill Nnigation common sold at
25%, and Susquehanna Canal at 934; 8234 was bid for
Schuylkill Navigation preferred; 5934 for Lehigh
Navigation, and 80 for Morris Canal common. Bata:
shares are In good demand fit 180 for North America;
1.32 for Ph iladelphin ; 118 for Farmers and Mehan Jos , ;
2814 for Manufacturers and Mechanics'; 004; for Ken
sington; 45 for Penn Tt wnship; 52W for Girard; 58 for
City; 80 for Corn Exchange, and 45 for Commercial.
011 shares continue very sick., and their recovery is
now considered doubtful. Our people, generally,
do not secuf inclined to invest in this character of
stocks at present, and no matter how great induce
ments are, it seems almost impossible to find any
one who is willing to put a dollar in oil stocks or in
Oil territory. As a mutter of course, there are good
oil companies, with valuable territory, judicious
management, and energetic and Intelligent develop
ment, but these are the exception rather than the
general rule, and the outside public do not seem
disposed to discriminate between the good and bad;
classing them all alike, as not desirable.

Peterson's Detector, for September, has just been
issued. and, as usual, is Riled with much namable in
formation.
The estimated stock of cotton in the coun
try, including what Is on hand at the receiY-
Ing ports, is one anti a half millions of bales.
Up to the close of August the receipts of
cotton at New Orleans amounted to 211,000 bales
against 131,000 last year. The recepts of the new
crop luvve beEcuri to arrive In small lots. Unless the
planters sneered in rut the culture of cotton
and sugar, their demand for iirovision for consump
tion Will be extremely limited, for they will raise
their own corn and swine, and thus become in a
measure independent of the West.

The French Chamber of CommerCe has just pub
lished the annual statistics of railways in France.
According to tltis document, it appears that 12,417
miles of railway were conceded in that country up
to January 1, 1355, andS,ll3 miles opened for traffic.
The fastest express train is that between Parts and
Marseilles, winch performs the distance (Be miles)
at the average rate of 35.05 miles an hour.
A report on the Mont Cenis Railway,by Mr. Brun
lees, C. E., just issued, gives a detail of the success
ful locomotive experiments already made, and a
general review of the prospects of the undertaking,
The estimate of .q 20,1105 is still considered sufficient
for the railway androlling stock,including nine and
a half miles of covered way to protect the line from
snow and avalanche runs, the total length being
forty-eight miles; and it is calculated that after the
concessions shall have been obtained the whole
work may be completed ill little more than a year,
It is pointed out that although the positive time for
the duration of the concession will be only seven
years, it will really operate until the completion of
the great tunnel, which it is believed cannot, even
under the most faVorable circumstances, be effeeted
in less than ten or twelve years. In conclusion, it
is mentioned that the decision of the French and
Italian Governments on the concesF ion may be ex
pected to be given* next month. The French Coun
cil of State 15 al: out - to disperse for the season, but
that Government has been asked to treat the Mont
Cents concession as a matter of urgency, and to ap
point a special commission for the business, sous to
avoid the Inconvenience of further delay.
