SIR
Believing that it is not only the duty but the de-
sire OF the present City Government to correct ex
listing abuses, and to prevent, as far possible, all
violation OF law and order, beg leave to call your
attention to a. custom of many of our fire and hose

foot passengers, but frequently places their very
lives in danger, mean the practice Of runnins

by the heels of their pursuers, and the wheels Of

concerns not one citizen, but thousands, venture
10 hope that after this appeal for protection these
outrages will occur no more.

Great Gas NIicroscODe.

The public is not generally aware that the most
splendid and powerful instrument of this class that
art or science has ever produced, Is now in our
city 1t may be recolleced that some two or
three years ago microscopic apparatus constructed
by Carey for the Polytechnic Institution of Lon
don, produced great sensation in that city, and
has continued ever since a constant object of at
traction This instrument was reported 10 be ca
pable Of exhibiting flea, thirty feet in length,
preserving the necessary dstinctness, in the mi
nutest parts, and sufficient illumination That an
paratus was then the largest and most powerful
that had ever been constructed. On ascertaining
the success OF this attempt, Dr. Lardner sent direc
tons to Messrs Carey to construct for his lectures
and scientific exhibitions ia this country an appa-
ratus not inferior IN any respect TO the polytechnic
instrument, but having advantages over il in some
points IN which It appeared susceptible Of improve
ment The present apparatus, which arrived here
few months since, was the result Of this order.
II Is at present erected in the room of the Society
Library in Broadway, where, to Judge by external
indications, permanent place Of scientific exhi-
btion and popular lectures is contemplated, some
what similar TO the Polytechnic Institution, or Ade-
aide Gallery In London, to be carried on under
the direction and superintendencc of DIR. Lardner,
who will, II IS understood, give il the frequent ad
dinonal advantage and attraction OF his lectures.
Inc present microscopic apparatus possesses ca
pabilltles and powers even greater than those as
cribed to the London instrument. On "Wednesday
evening the flea was shown with it forty fue feet IN
lengm. each leg measuring about twelve feet, the
mlnute hairy OF spicular emanations upon it being
a foot long, and perfectly distinct The bug was
also exhibited, the head OF the creature being Sc
yeral feet in diameter, and each eye measuring
foot! We shall prepare a description of the optical
mechanism by which these astonishing effects are
produced, and publish it in a day or two.
A handsome frame and entabature was erected
on Saturday over the porch Of the Library Society
House, enclosing the following inscriptions
DR.. LARDNERs LvCEUM
GREAT GAS MGR OSCOPE
Telescope and Pictorial Exhibition.
This indicates permanency. DR.. Lardner will
exhibit the microscope, and give one Of his popular
lectures this evening.

ing, and discovered on Saturday morning. The
Uhie spot in the elegant engraving above will point
out to the reader the exact spot where the body
found, in an almost north northwest direction from
the centre of New York and Hoboken ferry. Since
then, the trunks Of the young man who was ar
rested, have been examined by officers McGrath
and Staunton, and pair of black pantaloons,
which were spotted with marsh mud resembling
that in the vicinity of the scene Of the murder,
were found; also shirt bosom, bearing the
marks Of the clenched hand Of person who had
torn 1t from its place in an apparent struggle.
There was also small quantity of loose powder
found in his trunk and several red silk pocket hand
kerchiefs, which peculiarly corresponds with the
color of that seen in the hands of the man wiping
his pantaloonssat the time of the reportof the pistol
at o'clock on Friday afternoon
These circumstances, combined with the strange
and peculiar conduct Of the accused when he was
brought in presence Of the body on Saturday, will
compel Coroner BENSON to commit him for trial,
unless his eminent counsel, Il. v. X. WRIGHT,
Esq., presents the defence in which we understand
he is able to show that the accused was in the city
OF New York from the hours Of o'clock, p. NJ,
until in the evening on Friday afternoon the time
at which the murder is alleged to have been COM
mitted. The accused is now in the custody Of Cor
oner BENSON, who will commence the investigation
at Jersey City, this mornings at IL o'clock. The name
Of the accused is p F. D. MENaEs, young Ger.
man, who has been in this country but a few weeks,
but during that time has been particularly intimate
with the deceased, and has, by this intimacy, OBJ.
tanned perfect knowledge of his pecuniary cir
cumstances. From evidence presented before Die
trlct Attorney HARDENBERG, it has been shown that
the accused arrived in this city few weeks since,
and from expressions made by him during the voy.
age, 1t is presumed that the deceased had about
1000 marks, $500 in gold, in his possession at the
time he was murdered, as well as his gold watch
and chain.
Not a cent was found in the trunks Of deceased
at the house he lodged, in Dey street, and it is
therefore to be presumed that he had either been
induced to take this money 10 change into bills OF
that he always carried it about him. The supple.
ment contains particulars Of the day previous.

The fountain in the Park, supplied by the
Croton aqueduct, casting its cooling and
graceful showers high into the air, reminds
me of the great facilities you nave at Homo
lulu for similar works. New York water is
now as good as it was formerly bad, which
is saying much in its praise. Fountains and
hydrants supply the poor gratuitously, and
health and temperance have increased in
consequence of the abundant supply of the
pure element. The rich are enabled to car
ry it to the roofs of the highest houses, and
every chamber is supplied with its bathing
apparatus. How easy it would be at Oahu,
and at no great expense either, to form a
sufficient basin in Nuuanu to supply Honolu-
III, and by pipes lead it into all the houses,
streets, &C.: erect fountains for the use of
The populace, and to ornament the town;
supply the shipping at the wharves, and
nourish the trees which shade the streets.
This hint is worthy of your notice, and SOON
er or later you will take it. If I recollect
right the water of Honolulu is very general
ly hard and disagreeable, i~mpregnated with
lime. A lady once told me that after resi-
ding a short time in the valley, she noticed a
perceptible improvement in the compilations
of her children, which she attributed to the
change from hard to soft water.
Yours, WAKEBY.

many guns, lances and other arms, were
captured. The natives were annoyed in
their retreat to the mountain, by the fire
from the guns of the Clementine. After BIZ
v%ouacking for the night, on the field of bat
tie, the troops were re-embarked the sue
ceeding morning, and returned to Papeite.
In this action the Tahitians stood a bayonet
charge from the whole line. French loss, l6
killed and SO wounded, many of whom after
wards died. Among the dead were two Off
GERS.
On the 4th. of May the high chiefs ofTa-
hiti and Eimeo, to the number of2O, met at
the Hotel of Government, to discuss meas
ures to effect the complete pacification of the
country. These, however, are not of the
Queens party
1t is to be hoped that the decision of the
French Ministry in regard to Tahiti, will
speedily arrive there, that an end may be put
to this warfare. The occasion of the attack
upon the natives, was an assault on their
part on an outpost of the French. Gov.
Bruat is said to be e~xerting himself to ami
cably arrange matters with the natives, and
acts with humanity towards them. The hos
tile feeling on their part, however, is so
strong, as to render it improbable, that, at
least, for a long time to come, any peaceable
arrangement can be effected. The con-ioint
ProtcctOrate Government will meet with ma
ny obstacles. Indeed there seems to be but
one resource on the part of the French; ci-
Their to abandon or conquer the island.
May LIST. was the Fete of the King of the
French at Tahiti, and was celebrated with
military and religious pomp. In the evening
the Governor gave a ball. "Des danes
anglaises y ont apporte de jolis visages ct de
jolies toilettes:"-so says the editor.
1t does not appear that the Tahitians were
inundated by their losses, as since, they
have advanced nearer Papeite, and fears
were entertained that they might fire the
town. The English missionaries were exert
ing themselves to restore tranquility. Queen
Pomare has been twice invited, by Gov.
Bruat to land from the Basilisk but declined.
1t is reported that she will shortly leave for
the Friendly Islands, on account of her ex-
pected ACCOMPLISHMENT.
