CLUBS AND CLIouEs IN New YoRK.-Society in
New York is divided into all sorts Of clubs and
aiquespolitical, social, religious, moral, and i'm
moral.
The religious clubs are now holding their annual
meetings, attended by their honorable members,
from all parts of the country. They preach, pray,
eat, drink, and assemble together, and thus build
up their cause. The moral and philosophical clubs
pursue precisely the same. course Of action. Then
we have also amalgamation clubs, for mixing the
African with the Anglo-Saxon blood-pacing all
colors on perfectly the same social and political
level. These clubs are considered by each other
as associations for improving the human race, or
rather for deterioratng it,
The political clubs arc equally numerous, having
for their object the support of different candidates
for high Offices. There are three or four of them
for the support Of different candidates, all moving
from different centre towards one common object.
Among these are several for the support of General
Taylor at the approaching Presidential election.
Them again, society ITSELF is divided into clubs of
all degrees, good and bad from the silly exclusives
and Goldfish aristocracy down to those which meet
together in grog shops, where they fight, quarrel,
and drink together.
Upon the whole club life in New York is come
to be a characteristic of the age, and seems to
threaten to destroy the old, quiet, social system,
which formerly prevailed in different stage OF
society.

TEIEGRAPHC INTELLIGENCE.
Summary.

We received important intelligence last night by
telegraph, from Yucatan. The most frighttul out
RACES continue to be perpetrated by the Indians on
the white population of that peninsula. The sa-
wages have burned another town to the ground,
and are devastating and butchering indiscrimi-
nately. flour government wishes to render assist
ance to the Yucatecos, it must do so immedl-
ately-and it would perhaps be well for the gentle
men who are now wasting time in the Senate, in
idle and proftless debate on the subject, to come
to determination at once.
Our Congressional reports contain fair synop-
Sis of the proceedings yesterday. In the Senate,
another speech was made on the Yucatan relief
bill, and the groundwork laid for many more upon
the same topic. In the House, the bill for the adj
mission of Wisconsin into the Union was passed.
The discussion of the revolutionary pension bill
occupied the remainder Of the session.

tinuation of the unpleasant weather. The streets are
in most horrible condition. and the cutters clogged

ask is the health of the city to be eopardzed by omit
ting to take the necessary precautions of cleanliness,
Gil should apply themselves from the start to their du
ties in this respect and expect to action

squares and purlieus Of city abound in filth and

should be more literally applied, and small fountains

they would tend materially to purify the atmosphere
and promote health and cleanliness.
