Steamship Fulton..At a meeting of th. Washington HourJ of Health, on Friday, th
M principal topic discussed was whether th
M. I'nitcd States steamship Fultcn, which ha« lately arrived from I\n*acola, where ths* most malignant type of yellow fever is genr
rated, should he permitted to discharge in tbmidst of one of the most densely populate^localities in Washington.at the nary-yardThis vessel was recently obliged to put intNorfolk, where she bad to undergo quaractine, and send severul of her crew on shorwith intermittent fever, as they called it.-
IJ S line discussion arose as to me auiuoruy i»
the board to act in the matter, the poweis u
the board being very limited, and if thewore cognizant of the luct that the yeilotfever wis on board of this vessel, they couhonly declare it a nuisance. This discussioi
,ended iri the adoption of a motion by I)iMorgan, that the Commissioner of ilea I ti
ky go and examine the ship's books. As thvessel has already been discharged, and tb
fr| mischief, if any, already done, this is ratbea lato day to move in this matter. We ur
,al advised, however, by gentlemen from tbnavy yard, that there are no cases of yelloi
k, fever, nor any apt rchen-ion of i s appealance on board the Fulton. Any alarm
by therefore, is groundless .Union.
