PURIPicATIoN OF THE CrTY.-The process Of
cleansing and purifying the city is going on very
fav0rably, and we doubt not that before many
days we shall have it in our power to boast Of
clean streets. The Sanitary Committee of the
Board of Health have issued the following notice,
which We hope will receive general attention.
The Sanitary Comm ittee Of the Beard of Health
while daily engaged in cleansing and purifying the
city generally request their fellow citizens to aid aud
assist them and to report any Duisances which they
may know to exit to the Captains Of the Police Of

But il is folly to attempt to keep the city clean
as long as the practice of throwing garbage and
oflal of every kind in the streets is continued
Large quantities of vegetable matter may be seen
in almost every street in the city, although it is
contrary to law TO place it there. We hope that
every nfracton of the law VII be brought to the
notice of the authorities, and the perpetrao rs pun
ished. A dozen fifteen fines in every street
would soon put an end to the nuisance. For the
benefit of those who thus assist in poisoning the
atmos phere, we publish the following law on the
subject, which was passed last winter by the State
Legislature

GREAT NEWS FOR THE lRIsu.-For a number of
years past Mr. Senator Seward has been endea-
voring to impress the Irish adopted citizens with
becoming sense of his disnerested and burning
affection ; and he has just given an over
whelmng proof OF the sincerity of his professions
in procuring the appointment of young man,
named Mitchell, to temporary clerkship in the
Hcme Department Every son of st. Patrick
must be knocked into cooked hat by this magni-
ficent effort on the part Of the benevolent and
tendei-heared Mr.. Ex-Governor Seward. Weed,
of the Albany Evening Journal, represents this
dspensation of executive patronage as one of the
most munilicent boons to the Irish that has ever
been granted since the days of Brian Borhoime.
And so 1t is! Just think of it! Master Mitchell,
the adolescent brother of an Irish patriot, gets
clerkship at Washington, worth three dollars per
diem; and Weed calls upon the whole breathing
world to recognise, in this astonishing business,
an irresistible proof ofthe genuineness of the "sym-
pathy'' which Mr. Secretary Ewing and Mr.. cx-
Governor Seward feel "for that spirit which
thirsts for freedom in lrelandr
Now, the Irish are a grateful people Their
faults are the faults ETA generous nature. We
have little doubt that this paltry appointment,
given to a young Irish gentlemen who has just land
ed on our shores, with the capital of a name made
illustrous by the genius, eloquence, and patriot
ism of noble brother, will, indeed, be regarded
by many of our Irish citizens as substantial evi.
dence of the truth of all those ace pro-
LESSONS which Mr.. Senator Seward has been re-
failing in all sorts of bombastic orations for seve-
raj years past, Just the Irish sympathlsers have
been repeatedly excited by both parties in the
Sixth ward of our city, by the elevation of some
fortunate Bernard or Murtaugh to the responsible
post of scavenger or constable. Weed places this
appointment of Mr.. Mitchell to temporary place
in the Home Department, poor and paltry as it is,
like the "plate of hasty soup" which wretched
penny -a-llner of the Sunday press gets at Park
Row Hotel, on par with the executive patronage
heretofore extended to such men as Lafayette,
Kosciusko and Albert Gallatin. Can this really
go down with the Irish adopted citizens of the
United States! Pooh. pooh Mr.. Seward must
make another excursion among the tombs," and
deal out few better cards from the pack, before
either he or his Mephstophies, Weed, can gull
our fellow-citizens from the green isle of the
ocean.
