The New York "Tea Room''-"Kids"-
Erpeases of the Ner York City Gorer'-
meas.
The papers are commenting upon the re-
cent exhibit OF expenditures by the Municipal
Fathers of the great Gotham. The cost OF the
room, known as the "Tca ROOM" for the
monlb OF January alone, was $6oo-among the
stems comprising this large expenditure under
the 'abstemous' and delicate disguise OF arti-
eles for "tea," were, the Lord knows how
many dozens of quals, how much of other
kinds of fowl and of flesh in the why OF sea-
sonahle luxuries, and four thousand segars and
seven gallons of brandy! During the entire
twelve monIhs, the cost for carriage hire was
over ,hree thousand dollars, and for refresh
ments generally, nearly four thousand But
The item which shows the taste, the fashion OF
these City Fathers, is two hundred and forty
one dollars for Kid gloreS! The Philadelphia
Bulletin na5vely suggests that this new inven-
iion Of iegislating in Kids is the only way
known in Gotham for public fGnctionaries to
@keep their hands Clean
With regard TO the general cost Of govern
ing the greatest city in the United States, the
New York Times says:
cit w1uld draw very hard on mans reputation
for good sense to be overheard saying that this
was one of the best governed cities in the world -
Yet it cost something more than three millions Of
solldrs last Year govern it. 1t costs about ten
thousand dollars day, exclusive of Sundays to
administer such government it had. 1t costs
over three times as much to govern this city as it
aid to gov IN the whole State, including the city,
and three times much it did to govern the
six New England States 1t cost the city more to
get governed for fortnight, than it cost any one
out of sixteen State, for year. And it cost New
York city half mrch to get itself governed for
year, it costs all thirty:orc States for the
same time.

STABBING.-The case of stabbing, noticed in our
paper ON Monday, came up for consideration be-
fore his Honor on yesterday. The dangerous con-
dition of Arriton, Qor such we understand Is his
name, and not Harrington,) vouched for by his
physician, DR.. Gooch, forbade his attendance at
court Out of several witnesses called, but one
was present, Elisha L. Clements, who simply test
fed to aiding in securing Martin and conveying him
to the cage Immediately after Arriton was stabbed
Capt Jnkins and coroner Wicker stated that Mar
tin informed them at the cage, Sunday evening, OF
the origin of the ARRAY and confessed to stabbing
Arriton Martin said that Arriton and himself had
a difficulty some months ago. which had led to
some unpleasant feelings between them Sunday
afternoon he sitting on cellar door, In Cary
street, talking to friends, when Arriton came
up and commenced abusing him Arriton cursed
Martin, and finally kicked him twice, when he
drew knife and stabbed Arriton in the abdomen.
Martin also stated that he would do 50 again were
he at liberty and placed in the same circumstances.
His manner very composed white making his
unusually clear statement. The other side OF the
question has of course to be heard; and comments
would therefore be inappropriate until the whole
matter is thoroughly investigated. The Mayor coz
tinued the case until to morrow; directing subpo-
mas to be issued for the attendance of several wit

ENGLAND.-The new British Ministry is
highly conservative. Although frankly in
favor of protection to domestic industry, they
preferred not to make any immediate PROPOSE
tons with the view of carrying out their policy;
IS that would have rendered dissolution of
Parliament necessary. The election of II new
Parliament occurs the present year, the pre-
sent being about to terminate its sixth and last
year. The new elections will be made with
view to the question of protection, and the
canvass will be very animated one, no doubt.
Should Free Trade majority be returned, of
course Lord Derby and his colleagues will
have to retire. The protective party have
higher hopes than they nave had for several
years, and appear to be confident of a victory.
The London Times, the most powerful of the
British press, is bitterly opposed to them.

LOCAL MATTERS.

DEPLoRABLE SUICIDE Between and o'clock
Sunday afternoon, the clerk in X. r. DuvaPs drug
store received the following written note from
Mrs E c. Moore, who boarded, with her husband,
at Mrs. Claiborne's, on Bank street: !" Mr.. Da-
val will plsase send by Harry l2t cents worth Of
Iaudanum, and the samesof opium. She is suffer
ing very much with the tooth ache, and everything
she has tried has failed to relieve it, This was
the exact wording Of the no:e-for we copied 1t
verbatim-as written by Mrs. NJ, and carried by
Harry cciored boy in the service of Mrs. Claiborne
The clerk accordingly mixed up half an OF. OF lau-
danum and one quarter OF an OF. OF opium, an
sent it to Mrs NJ About O'Clock in the evening,
Mr. Moore, upon repairing to his room, found his
wife insensible and seeing the vial, marked lauda-
mum, on the table empty, suspected there was scme'
thing wrong, and Immediately sent for physician
stomach pump applied and other restoratlves
employed but without avail; the poison, which was
probably taken as soon as procured between one
and two O'Clock, having infused itself throughout
her whole system. She died in the course OF the
evening. The act Of selfdestruction was very
deliberate one, and we understand that the young
and unfortunate deceased left written account OF
its cause; as there are many runors ahoat, nowev'
err in regard to that cause, we do not feel Jusuned
in giving place to ideal statements and flying re-
ports. We give copy of the order, and partic
ular notice of its reception at Mr.. Duvafs drug
store in order that there may not attach to the clerk
the Sigh Test shadow of blame for filling it. His ac-
ton was perfectly correcti in the matter.
