We are much pleased at this. The merits of this
excellent paving are too well known, to make it

Itself, IN manner that can't be misunderstood
From the time first laid till the present, it
has not cost copper for repairing, and will NOT, in
all probability, for century to come. Not stone

wear and tear which it is subject to, and it is pal.
pabe that that part Of the city, where it is laid is
the ceanest, and kept cleaner than any other
1t rests with The Board Of Assistants TO say whe.

with the Beard Of Aldermen in authonsDg the
extension ia doubt of the excellence and dura-

THE GRAND JURY AND THE AsToR PLACE Mas
sAcRE.--We understand that the Grand Jury have
found bills of indictment against upwards of
twenty persons, who were concerned in or melted
the riot, which took place at the Astor Place Thea
ire recently, and which resulted in terrible and
lamentabe eflusion of blood. This is right and
proper. We hope, however, that there has been no
distinction made; but that equal and exact justice,
to all who participated in the proceedings which
led to that deplorable catastrophe, especially
those who led on the boys and young men,
and exhorted them to throw stones at the mill
taiy and the windows of the theatre, will be
meed out. We hope, too, that the con-
duct of the police, on the first night, has not been
overlooked. 1t was culpabe in the extremes and if
our information is correct, many of them even
sided with the rioters, and were pleased at their
demonstrations against Macready. 1t appears,
also, that several of them were under double pay
that night-lhat they were compensated for pre-
serving property In the neighborhood of the dlsas-
ter at the very time when they were drawing sala-
ries from the corporation. How is this? How
did it happen that this was tolerated Who's to
blame If the last Grand Jury have not investigated
those matters, we trust they will not be overlooked
by the next inquest Let vs. have the truth and the
whole truth. Our citizens ought to know every
thing connected with the deporable loss of life
which those who, either by negligence in the dis
charge Of their duty, or IN preventing the riot, as
well as those who melted it, caused. Let it all
appear.

FROM NASSAU, N. PILES of the NaSsan Guar
dam TO the 9th inst. have been received, from
which we extract the following items:
On Monday, 4th inst, as the schooner Fly was
returning from Long Island TO Nassau, with deck
load OF ca'le she struck on reef at the east end
of the island, and Instantly bged. The master
and crew succeeded in saving themselves in boat,

saved.
The heat in Nassau was intense during Nav, the
thermometer ranging from so to 81. After long
drought, the ram commenced falling about the mid
die OF May, much to the joy of the planters. At
,Watling's Island, Exuma, and Long Island, they
had good rains, and the crops generally looked

quence Of the long continued drought The pine
apple crops. on the several islands of the colony
where that favorite and delicious fruit is cultivated
have become rapidly matured by the recent falls Of
rain, A great many vessels have already arrived
at Elenthera from England and the United States,
for fruit.
From the extensive resources for salt making,
il is supposed that the island of Inagua will, in
time, rank next in Importance to Nassau, among
the Bahamas. The salt-raking season at Rum
Cay. Long Island, and Long Cay, has been most
proplhous, the quantity of salt already obtained at
these places amounting to about 100000 bushels.
The rain which fell on the 18th and 10Th ultimo,
would retard the operations Of the salt-raker, tor
about fortnight, but would prove Of great benefit
to agriculture, which had been greatly retarded,
on account Of the long drought. The salt-raking
prospects of Turks Island are represented as very
favorable, this season, both at Grand and Salt
Gays The Turks Island Gazette, of the I'd ut,

season, were never known, some pans having been

THE ROMANCE OF THE GOLD FEvEn-Thu
d. Y. Evening Poet, among other touching incl
dents, relates the following as having occurred
On the departure from that city of the Peytona
for California:
GAS usual, large crowd had gathered on the
pier, including several females, to bid last
hdieu to relatives, friends and lovers. One girl,
.who had probably seen seventeen summers, par
ticularly attracted our attention. She was q
beautiful blonde clothed in plain, though neat
dress-with remarkably rosy cheeks--a lip the
bees might swoon on-and soft dark eyes, now
little dimmed by the gathering moisture of sad
ness. While others were hurrying to and fro,
abe stood on the edge of the pier, gazing ear
nestly at the vessel, now loosing from her moor
ings. Her eyes were fixed on handsome young
man leaning ON the tafrail, rugged out in Cali
fbrnian dress, who was no less intertly watching
she girl he was leaving
Just as the vessel began to move in the water
and recede from the wharf, the tears unbidden
Started from their repose-tears, in whose dumb
grief there was a touching eloquence, filled her
large melting eyes, and stretching out her hands
10 him, in a most thrillingly plaintive whisper,
1hc said, Charley, amt you sorry noDP The
color fed from Charley's cheek, his pale lip
puiyered a moment, and then he turned, with
but speaking, to hide himself and his tears in the
eabin; and we turned away, thinking that that
young man, perchance, was leaving behind him
In that fond and loving heart, a treasure of more
worth than all the wealth Of California ;-ant
thinking, too, were we, Of these thrilling lines;
M When eyes are bcaming
IN What never tongue may tell
When tears are streaming
From their crystal well
When hands are linked that dread to part,
And heart Is met by throbbing heart,
Oh! bitter, bitter is the smart
/. OF them that bid farewellP"
