in Wall street amongst the merchants, brokers,
and cotton dealers, by the fabricated foreign news,
Published exclusively" in the Tribune Of Satur-
day last, was quite amusing, and reminded US OF
some OF the interesting scenes which took place
during the last summer, when the celt brated
Roorback was in the field Of action, issuing his
bulletins all over the country in the shape OF ex
tras, disclosures. wonderful revelations, and SO
forth. AZ some interest has been expressed to see
this new Roorback, we give it as follows from the
1ribune of Last Saturday

To give more effect to this ridiculous fabrica-
ton, the Eve~img Mirror,-ihe organ Of the sup
per ten thousand" as it facetiously calls rself,-
gave it its sanction by publishing it entire. Yet, to
person at all acquainted with the foreign news
department of newspaper, the ialsity Of this re-
port must have been perfectly apparent. The blum
deriDg manner in which the forgery is made might
have told any one its character at once. The idea
of stating that news collector was in "too great
a hurry" to bring papers with him, and that the
vessel was at the east end of Long Island, some
where, with other ridiculous discrepancies, were
quite sufficient TO stamp it with its true character
It created, however, some little sensation amongst
the small fry of cotton brokers, who have just in
telligence enough to know hawk from hand
saw, but very little beyond that.
Seriously. however, we do not know how to
characterize the villainy and wckedness of any one
connected with newspaper, protesting to be re-
spectacle, SO thoughtlessly and carelessly trihng
with the mighty commercial interests of this coun-
try, as in this instance has been exemplifed.-
What the motive could have been we cannot d.
vine. The whole affair demands full and ex-
plicit explanation from the managers of the journal
in question, and if they do not give it, they at
consign themselves to the contempt of the commu-
nifty.
TRAVEL TO EURoPE.-We believe that the mum.
Der of Americans who intend to make the "Tour
81 Europe" is this year larger than ever before.
Owing to the increased facilities Of crossing the
Atlantic, and Ike additional comforts offered in
our packet ships, many are now induced to 60 who
were previously too timid to attempt passage.
II is said that one of our largest and most popu-
lar packet ships, the Queen OF the West, which
sails o-morrow for Liverpool, CAPT Woodhouse,
has already several of her state engaged for
the trip of May, and that month being the be-
ginning of the fashionable travelling season, it is
thought that she, as well as the other packets to
sail at that time the Queen in particular, for her
almost unrivalled qualities, will be crowded with
passengers. Leaving America in May, travellers
can make the tour of Europe and return home be-
tore cold weather sets in.
Since the organization of the steam ship lines
those who travel have formed themselves into two
casses-the steamertes and canvass. backites
Tnose who seek comfort, and visit the two conti-
nents for pleasure and health, rarely make more
than one trip in q steam ship, whilst those who 60
to, and from Europe, on business, make the steam
ers their only means OF conveyance. Ia making
passages to Europe there is very little difference
between the two classes Of vessels IN the time &C.
cupied in their trips; but in coming to America
the steamers have the advantage in speed, while
the packet ships are superior in comfort and safety
The STREErs.-Never were the streets of any
christian city in such state as ours Not only are
they coated with filth the stencil Of which 10 in
tolerable, even in Broadway, but the pavemenis
are SO utterly dapidated that the safety of every
vehicle is endangered, and the limbs of the poor
animals that obliged to run over them are every
moment liable to be broken. The street and ward
inspectors too, are utterly regardless Of any COM
plants that are made. A dangerous fracture has
existed in Chambers street for time, but, al
though the Inspector of the ward has been notified
three times, and complaint also lodged at the Of
6ce of the Mayor himself, not the slightest atten.
ton has been paid to the matter. We believe there
is no remedy till the whole OF these new reformers
be turned out neck and heels.
DISCLOSURES IN GAMBLING understand that
Green, the lecturer on gambling, has returned to

that interesting subject It 10 said that he Intends

OF lite, social system. morals, and forth, Of the

which subsists between certain branches of the
police and the gambling houses, and which has
been the means Of preventing the suppression oil

We expect something rich when Green commences
these lectures, and will accordingly send reporter
to attend them and give them to the public, with
