MoNrEvpEo, June ls.-Negotiations still pending
at Buenos Ayres between the Ministers Of England and
France conformity. and Governor Rosas, and although
many points Of difficulty have been satisfactorily ad.
usted there remain Others of greater importance
be overcome and should all parties be disposed to
cede in other words to meet each other half way"
pscifcation may be the happy result but If each
party adhere to the position they have taken is i'm
possible for them to to terms they in such
position at present, but the of diplomacy
vastly great, yet sanguine Of pleasing ter
muation to existing difficulties. The writer is informed
by the most respectable authority that Gov Rosas de-
mands the recognition Of General Oribe the legal
President Of the Republic This the Foreign Ministers
cannot accede to- without making null and void the very
favorable treates which have been ratified Ivy this and
their respective governmentsa circumstance very un
likely to take place.

l. BY reference TO the map, the reader Will al
once perceivethat the main streets throughoutthe
whole city, and the most thickly settled streets
and avenues in the lower and upper parts, are
thoroughly drained from river to river. The in-
auence, which these drains and sewers will have
upon the general health cannot be overrated,--
Indeed, with them and the Croton water, which,
by the way, must be used more frequently in
cleansing and purifying than it is at present,
when the work is completed, New York will be
DIS healthy as any part of the civilized world. As
it is we can boast of our city being healthy, but
in few years hence it will be unequalled by any
place on the continent for salubrity., I'D, - 'A4
There 10 one point connected with the con-
structon of these sewers, which we wish to
draw the attention of the public to- and which
displays in favorable light the desire on the
part of property holders, to further the interests
of the city,. 1t is this, that these sewers are all
constructed by the Common Coun I'll, on the APP
plicaton of the property holders. land at their
private expense, not dollar of which is levied
on the city, or form part of the city ex-
penses. They apply to the Common Council
to build them; assessors are Immediately APP
pointed, who assess the expense on each lot,
which averages fifty dollars, and they are con-
tracted flor and built without any expense to
the public at large. D.4 aa ,.atAs .,l,. s.e,t

STEAMSHIP Missouri, AND Our HARBoR.-lt
has been intimated to us that the public think
we meant to throw censure on Mr.. T. Harvey
Smith, the pilot who took the steamship Mis-
sour to sea the day before yesterday, on account
OF that vessel coming in contact with barge.
All we can say is, that.we intended to dc nothing
of the kind, because we know he is blameless of
having any influence in producing the collision,
it having, to our knowledge, been caused by the
extreme narrowness of the circle within which
she had to move, SO as to get out in the stream,
and by the current which was running strong at
the time. ..,',.. .....'.,... ... ,-,,a
The fact is, the East river does not afford pro-
per accommodation for such large steamships as
the Missouri, as much on account of its narrow
| width, as the numerous vessels Of all sizes and
! descriptions that are allowed to anchor in it
when their masters think proper, although we
have harbor-masters to the number of four,
| whose duty il Is TO attend to the matter. These
harbor masters would render great service to
the ship owners, if they would be more particular
in regulating the movements of the vessels In
port.
The owners and consignees of ocean steamers
should endeayor to procure births In the North
river, as near the Battery as possible, and if
there be not room for all these vessels, then to
get in the East river as near Whitehall as posi-
BILE. Some arrangement of this kind must event
ually be made. i-i'"' '-i- '.'t ."t .''' 90
