BROADWAY AND THE PUBLIC THoRoUGHFAREs.-
A rather important event happened to Broadway
yesterday morning at break Of day. For tho hf2t
time for the last two hundred years it was swept,
and certainly all the better for il the succeeding
day. Let this be regularly continued, and when
the filth is once "got UNDER great benci, may Be
maintained by comparatively little cxerton. Our
other great streets must also be looked after and
proper aid effective syrtcm Of scaven3rage adopted.
Broadway Is one Of the finest thoroughiares in the
world, and j every day adding 10 its splendid attac
tions, and 70 keep Il in on impossible condition =

VERNAL LITERATURE spring is approaching,
and Of course everything is beginning to look green,
ought to, be it the Battery, books, literature,
politicians. or anything else. The. May number Of
the american RerieW-whig in its politics-is just
out, and has decidedly spring look-vernal in the
extreme. 1t says, speaking Of the Presidency, "We
have never believed the General (meaning General
Scott) was seeking for the Presidency. We have
no doubt, General Scott, out of his own manly i'm
pulses cordially welcomes Mr.. Webster or Mr.. Fill
more to the chair Of state" To those who know
General SCOTS aspirations for the White House,
such opinions in a review arc either sarcasm or
species Of simplicity Of the vernal quality.

CAUTION TO THE PUBLIC.

WHEREAS certain drafts, purporting to be
w those of officer Of the Quartermaster' S
Department, on Major General Thomas S. Jesup,
Quartermaster General, have been presented for
payment, which drafts forgerics, il becomes
necessary to Issue this caution in order that the

The drafts presented above bear the forged
signature of Captain l.. c. Easton, Assistant Quar-
termaster of the United States Army. They are
numbered l73 and ia, dated Assistant Quarter

1851; the one for S2,350 the other for Z 5000, and
both in favor Of G ustavus McHarcourt, formerly a
clerk in the employment Of Captain Easton, re
Gently stationed in Santa re. They bear their
face the forged signature of Colonel E. " Sumner,
approving the same.
Said McIIarcourt has been reported TO this Office
having committed extensive frauds on his en-
ploycr, Captain Easop and il is feared he has de-
frauded the community to large amount by
means of forged drafts similar TO those described
This caution is given that all may be on their
guard against receiving drafts, whether in favor

there are no genuine drafts of Captain Esston' 8

My Birthday.
BY THOMAS MOORE

"My birthday diff rent sound
That word had in my youthful cars
And how. each time the day comes round,
Less and less white its mark appears
When fret our scanty years told,
IL seems like pastilne to grow old;
And, as Youth counts the shining links
That Time around him binds SO fast,
Pleas d with the task, he little thinks
How hard that chain will press at last.
Vain was the man, and false as vain,
Who said "were he ordained TO run
His long career of life again,
He would do all that he had DONE
All, tits not thus the voice that dwells
In sober birthdays, speaks to me;
Far otherwise-of time il tells,
Lavished unwisely, carelessly;
or counsel Knocked of talents. made
HaPly for high and pure designs.
But oft, like lsraePs incense, laid
Upon unholy, earthly shrines;
OF nursing many wrong desire;
OF wandering after Love too far,
And taking every meteor fire
That crossed my pathway for his star.
All this it tells; and, could trace
tn imperfect picture DER again,
With pow'r to add. retouch, cfface
The lights and shades, the Joy and pain
How little of the past would stay
How quickly all should melt away
All-but that Freedom of the Mind,
Which hath been more than wealth to me 4;
Those Friendships, in my boyhood twin'd,
And kept till now unchangingly;
And that dear home, that saving ark
Where Loves true light at last I've found,
Cheering within, when all grows dark,
And comfortless, and stormy round!
