They gave the State of New York: to the opposition, and deprived the Republicanm of their two-third. majority in the House of Representative, be cause they disapproved of tie violent measures and extreme pot'cy of Radii alsm.

Nature, ' lken mstLkd, seems to be enjoying a respite from ti the turmoil and trouble of the past two or three ti months. TrsR IN A PLINTIFrL LACK of small currency it notes at preseat in the city. The resaon assigned ft is that merchants have been oollecting all the p small bills to send into the country in order to purchase cotton and other produce from the petty ti farmers-tfor there are but few "planters" left in t4 Loualiana, Miassisppi, Texas and Arkansas. In i the course of a month or so, when the farmers ti ihsll have realized the price of their harvests, ft sad have come or sent to the city for their yearly i supplies, small notes will be at a discount sinmilar 1 to that now suffered by the big ones. o PA.sIFs with their attendant ungaloitness and " awkwaroness were Lot rarities on Canal street Jeeteroay. Can it be that our ladies, whose good taste In matters of dress has become proverbial , are going to adopt this absurd appurtenance, and in future walk through the world asChristian did, with packs on their back. ? Forbid It, shades of our grandmothers ! But If it must be, If the pack behind and the bend before are to be "the thing" this wmn'er, we en rest you lales, bow to fashion as little as poest,le, let the bellenic sinuosity be barely perceptible, and O i let the huomp be so toLeu down, and so pressed out that there shall be but enough of It to authorize the wearer there sit to declare herself In the fashion. Think over q these maters, then we beseech you, O feminine hu. Swan ty. and reject tbismonstrous method of dbisig. oration. But if you will du it, if you will have a bend and a panier, let them both be little ones- have them little, and we won't say anything if you have them long. t Ta FItar CONGRFoATIONAL.

ALL ALONG the line of the Carrollton railroad the orange trees in the gardens are beginning to turn yellow with golden fruit. What a prospect for the epicure, and a beautiful sight they are to any one. SOrs FArCnION EDIroa reports that yesterday, on Canal street, te beheld a lady dressed as usual, but wearing her belt-buckle in the middle of the back. We hasten to lay before our readers this new caprice of fashion, that they may adopt it before it goes out, which will probably be in the course of two or three days. We shall expect to a see all Canal street back-buckled to-morrow.

A m.nerds figemn.--T the edalted, it would doutbtless be both novel ad Interesting to accompany a newspaper local reporter on his daily journeying about the clty. and for those ac customed to sedeetery pursuits the trip would possess nothing of that fatiguing monotony which it gradually assumes for him who, day in day out, In rain or shine, cold or sultriness, most foot it d back and forth, picking up here a little, there a g great deal, but in many oases nothing at all worthy of a paragraph isto print. It is so diaoour a aging, after walking ten squares, to enter some public office, see the incumbent just where you have seen him a hundred times before at precisely the same hour of day, ask him what there is new to day, and receive the simple word " Nothtng" for your pains. But, oe the other hand, there is, it most be confessed, a world of satisfaction for you if, in reply to your question, be produces some quaint and cunriou looking dooament, writ Sten upon all over, and, throwing it down on the table before you, says. " Yes, here is something worth pubieblhing; whereupon you find your. self Instantly scrihbling away for dear life to get y it copied, eyeing the doorway askance the while, d for the chance arrival of some equally enter e prising confreres. o But. ii you like it, reader, undertake some day y to tmake the round, and see how material is ob n tained for your perusal, while over your coffee cup Sa m the nmotnlg. Let us first go to the police sta s tion. w hich may be said to be the great nucleus , for intelligeace, i. e., police intelligence. .Enter y first by the side door, on Lafayette street, the lit. ir tie room used as station office. With the liberty of one privileged, push open the gate in the rail d i g, which cute off the office proper, inside of which are the clerk sad turnkey. The former's d duty is to record the arrests in a volume so large I that a strong man would find it no fun to carry it. He ablo keeps account of the property taken from tIe perscns of prisoners and consigned to him for safe keeping. The turnkey is he who gently relieves each unfortunate new arrival of whatever weapons or valuables he has about him, and then Stfficiates as his Twer dur to the dingy dungeon wn ithin. We look on the book and see what arrests o have beet made, what casusities reported. Ordi. Il nary drunks or larcenies or assaults are passed by unnoticed, for they are as numerous as mos qoltoes after sun-down. But if there is afforded by a glance at the book any inkling of matters more important, then. after a squeesing out by inquiry all that the two officials kudw about it, let us basten out along the hall to the front corner room, the ante room to the superintt ndent's office. Here you may see seated half a dozen special officers, aids or detectives, of all waiting orders. Ir a corner upon a desk is a n paper file. and toward it the reporter i-conti 0- neant; rushes, for there are to be found the die patches received from about town over the police at telegraph wires. Having given this all due atten tion. we pas in through the green lattice door to the office of Capt. Cain, wlo, seated II a eomfort able arm chair behind a table in the center of the room, informs you that the city ii reported quiet, rd and gives you further, very obligingly, any little matters of interest that may have come to his e. knowledge. Back of him an open door communi ed cates wi h a litt'e dark room, in which, if you are to anythirg of a physiognomist, you may amuse ct yourself by a study of the faces and heads in the to rogues' gallery. But the Recorder's Court is in session up stairs. We mount two flights and enter the sacred pre n cincts. "Take off your hat," says an officer at he the door. A crowd of people. black, yellow and white, fill the lobby. Inside the bar are the law yers, the witnesees, the clerks and the court offi cers. At the other endl of the room, within a fenced inclosure called the dock, are all the pri t soners awaiting examination. Whew! there are some seedy specimens among them; and there are of ohers who look as if they had no business to be he there at all. But our buoiness is not with them, ed but with the clerk, who allows as to look over the tst affidavits, and glean from them any facts of interest wr they may contain. Leaving the court room, and taking a brief look In at the police commlssioner's office, located in a the third story front of the building, we pass out ma again on Lafayette street, and crossing its cobble rer stones, painful to thin soles, enter the City Hall basement. On either side are the offices of the kg- tr.asorer and controller, and to the left, on the ei cross corridor beyond, is the street commissioner's ire business habitation. Turning to the right one sees rk the Fire Alarm Telegraph office, with its rows of in keys, network of wires and elaborate mechanism of gongs and plates and dials, all kept as bright as a new dollar. The operator sits close by, ready is at a signal to set the bells ringing in any part of id. the city. *' 'Ting s-ling-a ling" is heard -It is a as, fire alarm from some remote quarter. Quick as of thoutght be jumps to his feet, and runs to the ap m paratus. If you will listen at the open window you may hear the strokes in some distant belfry. as the bell hammer swings ba--k asd forth at the - biddir g of him who was just now so quietly Led seated beslde you. n Now. -ifl we go again, unless you wish to stet in the for a u rment to the little adjoinr ro-m wheore md ire a table and chairs, devoted to the aue of those e if tl- reportorial craft who may avail tan therselves of the facility of meeting or- there at night and writing up theitr re, notes. But In the day time the room is sel et. ,lom occupied, so we will go up stairs. First we the come to the mayor's offlce, where may be obtained et, frr m time to time information of whatever new ras matters of public interest in regard to ci'y affairs 3 are trtaspiring. Opposite is tte City Library, where MSr. Ilcros, the lilra-i·a, is always courte o.lv r-sdv to afford any necessary information, a- ernd uthetr bsck on the main corridor we find the tie ,Ice of the clerk of the assistant board, where, 10 n Toe-rdays eapecialy, it is well for a reporter to aed call. Ip stairs, on the second floor, again we may Vi visit the finance and streets and landings commit tee rooms and the surveyor'sa office, and havig the d(ne thus, have pretty thoroughly completed our S duties in municipal quarrters. rshall we go next ? To headquarters Well , - eli-y lwa mltw uesa sar , at the cornar of S Ju ia and St. Charles. The sentry marches up the ani down before the door, but dOes nit stop vng ,tito s.

All news ailowarle for pub hn licaticn, rerlstive to movements of troops, and mtll l'ery maitters genrerally may be obtained in the left hand tear room, where Gen. Neih and ('apt. n. lurbank always extend a pleasant welcome. rhe Sall private ofite of the major general commandung are is directly overhead, and ail;oinlng it is that of of Col.

Sheridan and Mower once had their head quarters. S Military and municipal matters disposed of. let ifr s nowe go below Canal street, and look after mfederal and State ffairs. The Custom Huse is a too mae of wealth for news, if you but know how t go tc about finding it in the labyrinth of halls, psaage o ways and offices. As we enter from New Levee street, there is first, at toe head of the stairway,. t- the Lffice of the registers in batitroptey. where may oe may learn bow many petitions haves been om tiled, and how many pettidoners dnhbarged. mar Next ia the United State court clerk's oli :e, with its shelves of musty records. After It the cm con- missioner's, and last the deputy marshal's o0f: e; but none of these. during the recess, furnishes Mr. much that is worthy of note. At the other end of As- the corridor is the entrance to the courtroom, I Cat where Judge Dural presides. Here, during the hi' sesaion, a reporter may sit and glean abeadanily. tp- IBut the real soen of activity is on the side of in- the buildilng aeatrest the vaer, where are loeted the collector sad assessor of internal revenue and t their smbordinates. do the one bend, the collector p of the Fort, with his loag asite of ofoeer, on the a other. In the latter yo may obtain Information s of all matters regadng the relatlone of New Or leans with foreign or domesti poets, arrm for I smuggling, and mews pertaining to marine later- q e=ts generally; ia the former everything relative to appointmenta, 4lstilleries, receipts, seswre, i and new regulations. But the dry systematic roe- - time to be seea n offioe after offie is forbddiag to the visitor, and makhee e not sorry to he em on the street again, hurrying toward the eaoe of the United States commissioner, on Catoishoses street, where, with an invariable wilhagaess to accommodate. may be foand Commis 4ner War. ren, before whom come meay Important oasee for examination. It is seldom that a visit here does not furnish the local something of publie interest. Jackson Square is the next stopppingplace. Here ate the Second District polee statie, hecor der Oastinel's court, the various district courts, aad Coroner Avila's office, and from all thee come generally a goodly harvest of informatios.

A Cnaaucra.-There is a woman who much frequents Canal street, and its adjacent streets. whom many of our readers must aere this have 1 noticed. bhe is apparently 35 or 40 years of age, of medium height, gaunt, spare features, evi. dently pinched by hunger and want. She is dressed nl a faded black calico, with a bonnet once rich but now battered and worn, and dis colored by rain and sun ; on her hands are always gloves, either black silk or kid, very muooh worn. no finger tips to them, but evidently worn as relics of the appearance their wearer used to make. She carries a small umbrella, very much torn, and of no account under heaven, but whioh t she aways holds open like a parasol. She never I begs. she never speaks to any one, she never I goes into any s'ore, but seems to be always walk. t ing nu and down Canal street. She first arrested the ttention of the writer of this about two months ago, when the Legislature was in session, whtn she was to be -ren every day about noon in the ielnbborhood of the corner of Patlippa and ('anal streets. Since then he has seen her nearly every day-always the same, always looking hungry, and wistful, and tired; always walking aboot, never resting, seeming to have no object and no purpose-a dreary, aimless, harmless sort I of a being. About ten days ago he missed her; for Scme time her accustomed haunts were with out her ; but yesterday there she was is her usual I place, on Canal near utrysdes, looking the same as ever, oLly a trifle thinner, her hat a tifle more rtattered, and her gloves a little more out at the fingers. What a story may nit this woman have ! Her whole appearance is such as to justify the sunp position that she had seen happier days-days when, perhaps, in the cosy home circle, shielded from the very winds of heaven by those who loved her, are may have quaffed the full nup of I hapj ines,. and lived honored, respected and joy fol-only to come to pace the streets of a great city, alone, and not worthy of a second glance from the dames in silk and satin who pass by on the other side. O ! what a homily is the appear ance of that solitary woman, as she walks up and down the great boulevard amidst the throngs of gay pleasure seekers, who. intent cr.ly upon self, cannot waste even a thought on the pitiable look ing object at their side. he was, as far as we now can judge, once like them. Will they eve be as she is now ? We would we knew who the woman is. Her history is, we warrant, a varied and interesting one. IlstHxrt. n,. Hostrctc--A , lily Ailled and rt _torn H, ,rnded --IThe coiuer of Orleans and Dau phin streets was yesterday afternoon the scene of one of those distressful occurrences which star tle a who'e community, and by which a most amiable lady lost her life. The following report is made from the mos re liable source attainable: Between 2 and :; o'clock yesterday afternoon a pa, ty conesting of the notorious Johnny Snapper. John 'Torpy, atiasToby, lied Smith, a man named Prendergast, the two last named said to have been released but yesterday morning from the city work-house, and George Deno, a seafariag man, met in front of the cabaret kept by Thomas Arato, at the corner of Orleans and Dauphin streets, northeast corner, but commonly known as Anne Hamilton's place, all apparently In liqioir. The conversation is said to have been about a a difliculty which took place between Toby and a man named Holly, in which the former was bl ghtly wounded on the head by a pistol ball, and resulting in the incarceration of the latter in the l'arih Prison. The party went into the coffee house to take a drink at the bar, then In temporary charge of oneCharles E.tevan, or btevano, during the absence of Arato. Ettevmn is said to be the paramour of ALnie Hamilton, who lives In a hovel across the way, on Dauphin street. According to one account some dispute arose between Estevan and the party about paying for the drintks, and hence the difficulty. But another version is that the row commenced with the womuan Annie, in the house at the time, who, taming up an ice pick, aimed a tremendous blow at the head of Deno, and succeeded in in tiring a severe wound in his neck. A shot was ired, and the party rushed out on the Orleanso street lsidewalk: two more shots were then fired, but without injurrng the men engaged in the row. Miss Adele L.av.lle, (saiter of the late J. C. LIa vile, E-q., n.trober of the State Legislatare, who mlt w;:h an untimely death upon the steamer Princess, by the explisin of that steamer,) who was walkic towards Rampart street, on the pnoasite tide of Orleans street, was sntu to fall. Some persons passing near the place, lioding that she was wounded and fain'tng, tumidiately had her conveyed on a wagon to the poitce ststion near the Cathedral, and Dr. Benry Bae)on, city physi.lan, was called to her assist tance. A Lal! had penetrated the thigh of the lady and severed the femoral artery, from which the blood flowed wilt great protusion. When the doctor arriied life was aloost extin't from hemorrhage, ar J ,yi. lavtile i id Ihlorclt afterwardj without atterretly I:e consciousness of having been wiuLded.

I'rrander ' 8 ulth and Annie Hamil. ton, ,nd lodged them In Jail. A Mr. Benrick, said to be connected with the gLti at Mahaska, was also arrested as a witnesse. Ertevan, or btevano, who is said to have done the sbooting has not been apprehended. Withbal the whole affair is indefinite, and will reanire an irquestby the coroner belort any estisfactory so ution can he arrived at. IThe sin Marity bejween the name of the unfortu rn' sletin acd that of several other ladies in this city crerted quite an excitement ftr a while, and it was only by applying at the police station that the right name cotuid be uascertained. a tcx. while being boisted from the groand flot tu an upper story of Call, Williams & Co.'s asore, on Tchoupitouias street, yesterday morning, lell uoon a young man named Theodore Reiter, who happened to be standlong beneath, and se riously injured him, cr'ushiug one of his shoolders. lie was at once removed to his residence for the necessary treatment.

TIIE PiROrEIsRY OWiERS' A ~O('IATTON. --A large meeting of the property holders was held at tse Auctioneers' and Merchansa' Exchange,. Royal I street. yesterday, purseant to notice, to receive ( the report of the general committee appointed at the preliminary meeting held on the 24th nit., to effect an organlizaton. 'I he meetming was organized by calling to the chair an old and wellaknown fellow-dtw.ea, the Bon. James P. 'reret, who briefly and pointedly stated the necessity for the orgsanizatio, which was to protect the property of the people from pillage. The beeretary, Mr. 8. Flower, thea read the rme port of the general committee, aubmittflag the ar tircles of aseoclation, which we have heretofore publihbed, and smoI the selection of directors and tie election by them of Mr. John A. Stevenson as prelsident ,f the association. Cbristtan Roselius, E.q., moved the adoption of tlir relort, ascd advocated the same in a forcible address, in which hlie illustrated by facts and fig trem how mu3h might be acrcomplished by united s( tion. Mr. loeehlua stated that the associatioo had nothing whatever to do with politics; that the) were perfectly neutral;: that they were wil. oing to pay the public debt, whether State or mu nlclpal, but this aseooiation will take m eensures to secure honesty, laternty and capacity in the officers of the government the deb* er. aw Orleans--some 814 000.000- he considered no more sha a debtef $600 to a man owtng $60.000. The resourceso of the city was equal to $I00.000,000, sad a debt eof $86. 0tx,O00 would be but a trile. The debt of the ,itt of New York wu estimated to be two-thirds of the assPesd value of the property, and there was no diffiunlty. He thet stated the diliculty in tia city : it was the watt of capacity end coai dence. What then was the remedy. Not by rerist nIIg the legal aot. but the Illegal, which you are called upon to resist. What prevents ou from workin intbi enterprise? Nothing except unity of action. In answcr to the apprehensions of some that the amociation was got up for the pir pose if creatintg cffices, he would msay it was no such thinr. On the contrary, the neaee of the gentlemen comprisinlg the asscatioa were a .uar antee sgainst such a idea. He then hoped that all would ounite and go to work. so that no im proper nor illegal burthenas be placed upon them. I he motion to adopt and ratify the action of the provioanal organiztion was then adopted. The clhaman of the meeting teen introduced MI. John A. Stevenson. the president, who stated the purposes of the association in a manner that elseited general appleuse. He diselrimed all per. rnil arnd Doll'icel ciosideratinas; he regarded the asce ation as the ouy means by which the abusee and nsutovernmeut of which there was general complaint could be effectiely checked.
