PoRTUGAL AND TIE GEN ARNRsToNG CLAIM -
In our summary Of the European news published
in yesterday mornings edition, We mentioned that
the case Of the brig Gen. Armstrong against the
government of Portugal, which had been referred to
the President of the French Republic, had probably
been decided against this govern ment. AS We re-
marked yesterday, We always supposed that the
King Of Sweden was to be the referee in this case
as that po wer had been selected by Portugal, and
the President Of the French Republic named by
the L nited States. The treaty made by the Sc
nate of the United States sent out by Mr.. Had
dock, our Minister at the court Of Lisbon,
for the ratification of the Portuguese govern
ment, and as yet no official information has been
received tha. this treaty had been ratified by Portu
gal, what power it had elected to decide on the
claim. We are, therefore, Of the opinion that the
information is premature and not correct, especially
as it was left to Portugal to choose either Sweden
France and it is to be presumed she would select
the power FIRST named by her. We shall lock for
All official contradiction Of this staten ent-as we
cannot believe that France, under the circumstances,
can have made any award in the case.
In another column give the letters Of the Paris
Correspondents OF some of the London press, in re-
lation TO the reported award said TO have been made
by Louis Napoleon, and which turns out, as We
supposed, untrue. The statement made by the
Croaes correspondent in relation to the violation
of the neutrality of Portugal is incorrect, every
thing is that is written by Englishnen in regard to
the Armstrong case. The old story of one boat
only approaching the Armstrong, instead Of four
boats attacking her, is again put FORTH and he cap
tain of the Armstrong made the 6rst aggressor,
ins tead Of the English captain, who entered the
port with the determination, and with the sole OBJ
ject and purpose Of capturing the brig. From what
know OF the powerful argument p. epared in this
case on the part Of the claimants, no unprejudoed
umpire, from the facts there fully subs.antia.ed,
proven, and set forth, can possibly make any o.her
decision but favorable to this government.

THE New CoDE.-The new code seems to be
stirring up the enterprise of the publishers Al
ready are two editions announced-one at Albany
and one at New York-each protesting to be with
notes and references to former decisions. The Al
bany edition and portion of the New Yok edition
are now before US. They bear no comparison. The
Albany copy has very few and very brief notes,
while in the New York edition the notes are long,
elaborate and judicious Our legal friends who do
not desire to have both copies, should wait and
compare before making q purchase, as they will
find that they must have the New York edition, or
remain immeasurably behind those who possess II.

If the great opium eating poet had visited New
York, he would have written some verses even
worse than the above, on its dirt and filth. We do
not remember to have seen New York in so abomi
nably filthy condition as at present. since the IA
nous reign of the Native Americans. II is no won-
der that our City Inspectors weekly reports Of
deaths, strike terrorto the community. Gothrough
the entire length and breadth Of the metropolis
with the exception of a narrow and shallow strip Of
comparative cleanliness, inhabited by the arstoc.
racy-and your nose is continually assailed with
such offensive and disgusting odors that you feel it
unsafe to breathe, and hurry along taking few and
careful in sprations and involuntary stopping your
nose. Miasm and infection gather in palpabe,
horrid. tasting msts, about your very lips. Look
around, and you will see the fruitful causes Of
this spread on every side. The cutters, filed with
swill, slops, potatoe parings and al the refuse Of
the kitchen and chamber, are so choked that the
water is damned, and gathers heaps Of mud and
filth at every few steps, to dry and swelter and
reek in the hot sun; sending of poisonous gases
enough every twenty-four hours to depopulate q
small universe. And if you penetrated into the
courts, alleys, and back yards the scene would be
still more revolving. and such as can by no
means be described. All these things, uniting
with the immense quantities Of unripe fruit, sick
meat and poisoned milk, consumed in the families
of the poorer classes, sufficiently account for the
frightful rate Of mortality which has recently SO
much startled US.
And the worst of all this is that it is absolutely
unnecessary If the authorities of the city-who
50 literally paid for doing their duty-would in
stitute thorough investigation into the state Of
affairs, and apply cnergeti, means of remedy and
prevention, the city could be purified, and kept
clean and wholesome. No spot on the surface of
the earth is better adapted to cleanliness and
health than New York island the facilities and
advantages it possesses have been so frequently de-
scribed that We need only to alude to them. 1t is
absolutely infamous that a high and salubrious
island like New York, projecting boldly into the
sea, embraced by two noble and magnificent rivers,
and completely surrounded on every side by the
tide water Of the ocean, should be unhealthy. But
the vile deeds and miserable habits Of mankind
have filed this favored spot with miasms more
deadly, and more abundant, than the prairie grave
yards Of the West. Is there anything that can
either arouse our rulers to sense OF their duty on
this subject, of life and death Importance, pro-
woke the people into rdding themselves Of their un-
faithful servants This is question of far greater
I'm portance to New York than the Presidency; and
we trust it will not much longer receive the go-by
