NEW COUNCII-NEWY YORK CITY.

It is the invariable habit of our party TO
congratulate itself upon the acquisition OF
mower. 1t is doubtful, however, whether 1t
is not, in most cases, source OF party
weakness. instead of party strength, as 1t
certainly is always attended by many cir
cumstances that are calculated to mortify
and disgust those upon whom devolves the
despensation of the patronage which belongs
to it. The whig Mayor and councils of
New York went out of office on Tuesday,
and Yesterday their loco-loco successors took
their places. And so great was the crowd
of applicants for office that, IN the language
of the Commercial, fat men sighed, groaned
and grunted-slim men complained IN an
gursh that elbows were forced through them
l-strong men affirmed that they should faint
tall men stood on tipto---and little men
shrieked in mortal terror, the prospect
of being trodden under foot glared horribly
before them. Benches gave way-hats were
crushed into sha peess masses-toes with
corns on shot pangs OF agony INTO their own,
ers' vitals--"Od Hays shouted with all
the strength of his iron lungs-and his sub
ordinates braced themselves with all their
might against the iron railing which seemed
at every moment on the point OF being lev
elled with the hoor.---Baltimore Chronicle
Humiliation of Public Ofice.-Almost every
dav discloses some new fact Illuminating to hold
ers of public office. Disclosures are made, tina
degrade this class of citizens. We have said lit
tie about them, in the Gazette, but case occa
sionally occurs, which may not aliogethe
pass by.
One of these is the case of the Postmaster a
Louisville. He has been guilty of contracsin!
with his deputies for one price, and exactin!
from the Department a larger amount, putin!
the difference in his own pocket. He has effect
ed this by fabrca,ing receipts, which he con,rv
ed by taking receipts in blank from the deputie
and filing them up with sums to suit himself.
The subject has been agitated for sometime, bu
we believe the Postmaster still keep. his place
We have jus, received information from Ne'

Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce.


We have Just received advice from Lima Of
the total defeat of the army of General Santa
Cruz, at Yungay the Goth January. Santa Cruz
escaped with only few men, and arrived at
of Calao with 1900 men under the command of
General Moran, and supplied them with three
months provisions. He again left Lima on the
2Sth Cor the South, with the purpose of georgia
nizing a new army. We Thu nix, however, in this
he will fail, as his resources completely ex-
hausted. We consider the confederation at an
end. The probability is, there will be a revolu-
ton IN Bolivia.

The PRovIDEScE BANKS, it appears have
chosen to suspend. OF course they know their
own business best, aud we shall at any rate have
no more of them in circulation here at present
They occupy an isolated position in New Eng
land, as in no specie paying state or city can
their notes be received /; and Little Rhody will
have the satisfaction of seeing all her rags come
home 10 herself a.sin.-T'hey might answer
for Philadelphia, and as note over five from a
Rhode Island Bank is rare object. We do not
see but the PhiladelphIans must make curren-
cy Of the Rhode Island money. which has a
larger proportion Of small bills than any other.
The sophistry put forth by the Rhode Island
papers Is not worth wadiug through.

IMPORTANT TO ESlGRANrs.-When the
Land Offices in Wisconsin we're first opened,
it is well known that large quantities OF the
choice land was purchased, not for purposes
Of immediate improvement, but on speculation.
1t WAS then predicted by many, that these lands
would be ultimately offered at less than the
government price. We now understand, that
Mr.. Taylor, at Mineral Point, has been au-
thorised to sell several large tricts Of land on
low terms, and gentleman who arrived here
yesterday in the Plattvlle stage, informs US,
that he has been offered several choice tracts
on and near the beautiful prairie between Cass-
vile and the Wisconsin, at 81 25. We have
likewise been told, by those protesting TO be
we'll informed OF the fact, that land. which were
entered two years ago at the government price,
have been since offered at ga cents per acre.
This has been occasioned. no doubt, by fusn-
cial difficulties in some cases, but more psrtic-
ulary 90 account OF the trouble and expense
to non-residents Of the Territorial tax, which
has been. and can be, legally assessed them,
the moment the lands are entered.
