hanks and all--the whole mass OF the industrious
classes is thrown int the power OF usurers, bound

What is to be done? Where is the remedy? These
questions will be matter Of further nvestigation--so
also will be the conduct Of the Clinton Hall Associa

GREAT FnAcAs in WALL STREET.-A very splen-
did row took place in Wall street, about p NJ yes

The human part of the combatans, did not, however,
shew the good sense to separate, until large black
dog belonging to cellar near by, came along, and
after reading the riot act thus-"bow! WOW! WOW"
"bow WOW !! WOW! '-and procuring the aid of the
big watch dog of the Manhattan Bank completely re-
stored society to peace and quiet. so .srf
dog now a-days is better in fracas than police

MoNrREssoR AND GOVERNOR TAcoN, OF CUBA-
Our readers such of them as have listened with de-
light as we have the strains of Signor Montressor,
will learn with much surprise that that talented singer
is now the inmate of prison; and their Indignation
will be excited when they learn that he is the victim 10
the ntrgues of person Of far less talent who has in
duced Governor Tacon to act in manner that will
brand his name with shame, and render il by word
and reproach every hater of mean and dastardly
oppression.
The facts of the case are as follow:
At rehearsal of concert or an opera in Havana,
the prma contrao took into her head to sing apart
written for male voice, and, without mentioning any
thing TO the director went on in duet and sang the
bass. This quite overhrowing the effect of the music
and the intention Of the composer Montressor express
sed his opinion of the act The contralto rebuked
him angry words followed and Monuessor, being
much excited, brought to her recollection that in
Milan she had made fasco.
She repaired instantly to the Governor, and accus-
ed Montressor of having nsulted her before all the
company, and she obtained-we do not knew by
what means-a warrant against him. He is now
exiled from Havana, his property confscated, and
waiting in prison the good pleasure of being sent out
of the island to place known only TO the upright
Senior Tacon.
Such is the government of Havana!
GAME LAws.--Some time since, at Niblo's a
meeting held devise for the protection of
the game in the vicinity Of this city, which, from the
volators of the law ordaining that birds shall be
shot out Of season. has become Of late very
meeting held for similar purpose some time ago
at Philadelphia the object Of which more particularly
was to secure the game by some such laws as exist in
England. This never be effected either here or in
any part of the Union-it initiates against the rights
Of the ctzcn-t is inimical to the principles upon
which the constitution is based
In Philadelphia they found out this, and abandon
ing the idea, very wisely adopted excellent precau-
ton against wanton despoliation. They formed a
committee Of gentlemen TO watch for those delin-
quents who warred upon the young birds-who, dur
ing the time of breeding, used their guns and they
resolved TO publish the names of oil those who were
found in the act.
Nothing can be better than this. II will tend more
than any thing else to preserve the game. Let it be
generally adopted
