MEDICAL DEPARTMENT OF Aims HousE.-The
summer recess of the Common Council has now
terminated, and they will meet this evening
again for the transaction of business, and among
the first things done by the Board of Assistants,
we trust, will be the final passage of the bill for
the better management of Bellevue Hospital.
It will be remembered that this bill was passed
by the Board of Aldermen, with some few
amendments, and sent down again to the Board
of Assistants for their concurrence, the last
night of their session, but from want of time il,
was then laid over, and thus remains.
We have already given our readers synopsis
of the proposed judicious alterations, and we
feel convinced, that every member of the Com
mon Council must be thoroughly aware of their
excellence If anything more were necessary to
urge some change in the management Of affairs
| at Bellevue, we might adduce the recent extra
ordinary occurrences that have taken place there
we allude to the quarrels, examinations and re-
ordinations, between the resident physician
and his assistants. In such cases, it is always
difficult to say who is in fault; but be the fault
on which eide it may, the possibility of such, we
must say, disgraceful scenesbeing enacted, show
that the present rules and regulations must be
both confused and indefinite. Let the bill now
before the Board of Assistant Aldermen, be
passed, and made law, and then the business
and station of every person about the establish
ment will be so clearly defined, that such occur
rences can never happen. 4..e
The expense to the city will not be any more
than it is at present, and we shall have order.
ly and we'll appointed hospital, whilst at present
Bellevue Hospital is little better, it appears, than
fighting ground between hospital stewards and
physicians.

The GAs.-What in the name Of wonder is the
matter with the gas in the lower part Of the city,
II gives us about ss much light asmakes darkness
visible, and no more. The other evening it went
out entirely and left our establishment from turret

IN its place, but newspaper Office is no place for

priety Of emitting il for the future, for we can
assure them that cannot appreciate it, at three
or four o'clock in the morning, when every min
ute is as much as an hour to US at another time.
One word to the gas company. Gentlemen,
you charge exorbitantly high for your
gas, because you have monopoly Of
the business, and give mean, contemplate,
small, and unsatisfactory light; you are getting
very unpopular with the public, and our advice
is-have a care! The city Of Washington
will soon be illuminated with a new kind
of gas, which costs very little. If you
don't look sharp, your occupation and your
profits will vanish like the baseless fabric of a
dream, or as your gas did in our Office on Satur-
day night, and leave nothing but long faces and
empty pipes behind, because people will try 10
manufacture their own light. Let the expert
ment be tried but once, and from the time it is
made you my date your gradual downfall. In.
deed, We understand the experiment will soon
be tried.

perhaps you are making up for it by stinting
US in another shape.

DEsERTERs FROM THE ARMY.-SOme time snce a
statement from one Of the NgiiUe papers, that
the deserters from our army in Mexico mainly
among the adopted citizens of our country and charg-
ing that the Irish were most llnble to desert. We
have lately seen correct statement of the entire
number OF deserers from ranks, as given in the
National Police Gazette, from which it appears thai
the whOle number of deserters, at the present time
hundred and ni1ety Of this number 100 were
bum in this country 81 in Ireland and Is in Germa-
nv. II is surely dI>gacefUl to countrymen, even
n the number not tenth of that which is
stated as the born and reared in this country
under such glorious institutions ours who can be
induced to desert his countrys flag in time of dam
ger, must posSess exceedingly small share of hon.
orable principle The natives of Ireland among the
deserters, is but one-seventh of the whole number
This is fact highly creditabe TO that portion of our
adopted citizens; and reflects the mere honor upon
them, when 1t is remembered that they form very
large proportion of the whole army. The natives of
Germany, though constituting a smaller portion of
the army to stand by the country Of their choice
with equal frmness; and are willing rather to die
from the shIts of the enemy, than desert the flag
which protects their rights men, and promises free
dom TO the world. Indeed, there facts of I'M
portance within recollection which do not point to
adopted citizens the steadast defenders of our
republican Institutions. The example of one such
man SHIELDS, If we had never heard of MoNT-
GoMERY, would 90 farther 10 fix our confidence in the
integrity of lrlshmen, than all the abored arguments
which have ever been written, to prove the danger
likely to result to institutions from the increased
and largely increasing numbers of natives of other
countries, who coming among us to find home.

York Tribune denies the statement that Gen. Taylor
is opposed the Wilmot proviso. and says that it
has Its possession conclusive evidence Of his hos
tility to any farther extension of the slave power.
The same statement has been made IN some other
quarters and believe our able contemporary Of the
Bee published in his journal article expressing his
desire that the implied assent of Gen. Taylor in the
views of the Cincinnati Signal in its editorial rea-
ting to tbe celebrated letter. should be pore explained.
We understand that there is letter from Gen. Tay-
Tor this city, which puts foreer at rest all doubt
this subject, and shows that on this question he as
true southern rights and principles; other words,
that he is Opposed 10 the Wimot Proriso. We state

WHAT GOVERNMENTS Cosr.-The income of the
United Sales derived by duties on imported goods,
since the adoption of the system In l7S9 to IS45 has
been between eight and nine hundred million dollars.
This is the sum that has been received by the go
vernment, after paying the expenses Of collection,
&c.
II may seem rather surprising TO the people of this
country that in period of hfty->ix years the, have
paid, through alone the of eight hum
dred and ory-eight millions of dollars towards the
necessary expenses of the government. Still this is
only at the rate of fourteen millions year. And the
sum now yearly expended is so much larger, tina
we too often allow it to pass from notice without
a thought of the result in few years.
In another column are the details of tie revenue
business during the period above mentioned. The
tai amount received by collectors is stated exceed
ing thousand, one hundred and twelve millions OF
dollars The expenses of the collection down
at fostyfour millions, four hundred thousand dollars
and the balance of the difference between the ex-
penses of collection and the amount received consists
of sums that have been paid in debenttres. &c.
Thus we have at one view a most important state
ment. If could compare it with the expense o.
collecting the same by direct taxation it would
afford excellent estimate Of the two systems in
| that particular.
No one can Believe that the same amount could
have been drawn from the people by direct taxes with
in the same time. So far from it they would have
placed the government on fuuting of frugalty and
economy that r. now unknown.
Bot this is not much more than half The expense
which the government of TINS country has cost the
people within The last fifty years. Add to it the whole
revenue received from the public lands and other
sourcpsadd Also the expense of eacE State govern
ment that in operation-add also the costs of con-
ventions. of political assembiages and the rolls
up TO such al amount that be imagination is appalled,
at its greatness
This is the prcuniary cost Of free and liberal in
stiluiiuns. Yet they are fruitful and yield sucl
rich returns. that the Country enjoys degree of pros
perity unknown under the old systems Of human soci
ety.-N Y Ere. Post.
