THE MAYORS MEssAGE.-We were much sur
prised last evening at the action Of the Second Mu-
nicipal Council, in reference to the Mayors mes
sage relative to the cleaning of DIR streets, alleys,
ETC.. with view of warding of as far as practical
bic the dangers to be apprehended from the spread
Of the Cholera, even in its present shape Instead
OF passing resolution to order RStaater sufficient
number of additional carts and men to work in the
different wards under the immediate supervision Of
the Commssaries of the wards, as was done during
the epidemic of lS47, and thus put the whole of
this Municipality into ceanly condition in week,
they passed resolution to authorize the Recorder
to employ seven additional day policemen, or as
sistant Commissaries To do what! To clean
the city! What power will they have to enforce
a single sanitary regulation! How far can they
go towards having filthy gutter, alley, or yard
cleaned out This resolution will only increase
the patronage of the Recorder, already too great.
Why not require the present officers to do their
duty faithfully! there are enough of them for all
useful purposes. Let the contractor for cleaning
the streets be required to do his duty. Let the
Commissary be required to do his duty. If there
are any nuisances in his ward let him see to their
removal, or report them to the proper authority.
We fear there is too much neglect among some OF
the Commissaries, and shall point it out particu-
larry, if not attended to. And above all let the
city be put in clean and healthy condition in the
shortest possible time. We do not suppose that the
contractors can do the work required as soon as
the state of things demand, but let them begin-et
the work be done-and let it be done quickly.

OF The report of the Secretary of the Treasury
is very long document, but containing vast
amount of sound statesman-like views, and useful
information. 1t is much too extended for us to
publish entire, so that we are only able to give
that part relating to the financial condition of the
country. The whole would, however, well repay
perusa as it fully sustans tie former high reputa-
ton of its distinguished author. We hope that in
expressing this opinion we will not be taken to
task for undue Partially, for violation of neu-
trality Nothing can be further from our wish than
this, yet we must say that Secretary Walker has
ably argued and sustained the financial system
which he was principally instrumental in origi-
mating. He shows the prosperity of the country
arising from that measure, and exposes the falla-
cies of contrary theories. On the whole, as we
have said, we consider the report paper of great
ability and value.

AMERICAN THEATRE.-Buckstone comedy of
Married Lie," one of those pithy, pleasant pieces
which requires all the talents of first rate performers,
was enacted here last night in a style which was
highly creditable to all parties engaged in its pre-
sentation. Mr.. Greene made an admirable fac
simile of the over-prudent Codde, while his equally
careful spouse was ably represented by Mrs. Rowe.
Mr.. Charles and Mrs. Pope appeared to great adj
vantage as Mr.. and Mrs. Lionel Lynn. The billing
and cooling carried on by Mr.. and Mrs DoUe, (Ir
Spear and Mrs. J. Greene,) created good deal of
merriment, while Miss Petrie did ample justice
to the author by the very clever manner in which
she personated Mrs. Younghusband. Messrs. Kings
ley, Keller, and Mrs. Bowen, made good represent
tatives of the other characters The general salute
at the close of the piece not the least amusing
part of the performance. Tonight the attractions
offered are Shells tragedy of e Evadne, in which
Mr.. Jamison plays LudOUico, and Mrs. Pope EUadne,
after which the famous Irish farce of &c His Last
Legs" OCallaghan, Mr.. Charles, who will sing
the ballad of Brian Boroihme," which was SO
rapturously encored few nights since.

THE PRESIDENCY OF FRANcE.-The tele-
graph informs us that Lamartine is candidate for
the Presidency of France. But this is no news, as
it was known some time ago to be the case. We
are sorry that Lamartine has determined to run /;
he cannot be elected, for he is too good republic
can, too firm and consistent friend of the laboring
classes to find favor in the eyes of the selfish and
tyrannical Bourgeoisie. Could his friends, and
the friends of Raspail concentrate upon Ledru Roll
lin, the election of the ld-blooded Cavagnac, or
the imbecie Napoleon, might be defeated. Ash is
we cannot hope such result; one or the other
must be chosen, and it makes little difference
whieh-they are almost equally obiectional to the
progressive parties. In our opinion the shadow of
the gray coat and cooked hat will carry the day.
Cavaignac, the real, can scarcely compete with
Napoleon, the ideal.
