ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF FOREIGN PRINCES. - The
princes of Germany, having very likely presen-
iment of their fall, have all learned professions,
which will certainly be very useful to them before
long. Here they are.
The Emperor of Austria has great skill in ma
nufacturing sealing wax. The King of Prussia
draws splendid and witty caricatures, and may
now draw his own. The King of Saxony is dis
tinguished botanist The King of Bavaria is a re-
markable poet. The Grand Duke of Baden is an
excellent shot, and rivals the most experienced
gamekeepers of his estates. He can fill his own
pot. The Duke of Hesse-Cassel is great earthen-
ware maker, and the princes of the Cobourg fami-
ly are celebrated for propagating the species. 1t
remains to be seen whether the Germans will al
low these sovereigns to exercise the professions
which they have been taught by nature.

rgg Rrss PAVEMENT. "t<ratd qutsfi0,"
propounded in Mayor Havemeyer's inaugural mes
sage, in relation to the practcability Of expeditions
removal of this pavement, in cases of leakage,
occasioned by the bursting of water pipes has
been satisfactorily settled in favor of this admira-
bic pavement. On yesterday leakage found its
way up through the foundation, or concrete, of
the pavement lately laid down in the vicinity of
this office, corner of Fulton and Nassau streets
This burst occurred when there was no provision
made for taking out the pipes, and consequently it
has proved more favorable to the works; and in
half an hour after the worlSmen were informed OF
the burst or leakage, they had the pavement re-
moved We should also state, that here there
was section for lateral pipe to any of the
neighboring buildings, conveying the Croton wa
ter, and it was not in such place, then, where
the public could expect that the pavement could be
taken up readily Here, too, was place where
no rupture was expected, and consequently no pre-
paration was made for such accident Look, also,
at a permanent work of this character, which will
of course require little more labor than the ordi-
nary, old, useless and expensive system; but this
should not weigh a feather in the balance, where a
work of such ncalcuable advantage is in question.
We congratulate Mr. Russ on having thus so tho
roughly satisfied the public mind on this matter;
and the public feeling in favor of the work has
been so thoroughly and unequvocally expressed,
and this question been now solved and placed be-
yond all doubt and cavil, we trust to see speedy
and earnest action on the subject, as to give our
citizens the full advantages of desirable pub
lie improvement--at all events, in the leading
