SEcuLARrzATloN OF THE SABBATH
The Boston tyaucler says:
ut must be apparent to every care
full observer among us, that the tend
ency in this community is very strong
of late towards secularizing the Sab
bath. There is manifest disposition
among many to make the Sabbath a
day Of recreation. if not Of business
We see this in the number of carria gcs
which are driven through our streets
towards, or in return from, our suburbs,
every pleasant Sabbath day; in the in
creased number of omDibuses which
traverse our streets on the Sabbath in
the cry of the news boys; in the num-
Der of open shops; and last though not
least, in the renewed effort now in
progress to secure Sunday mail be-
tween New York and Boston

kossuTH-It has been stated tl,at
this gentleman, previous leaving the
United States, signed a contract to
head hostile expedition from New
York against country with which we
were at peace. Whether this be true
or not, we have the most indubitabie
evidence that he did sign a contract
with an agent or factor Of an Armory
for the manufacture of several hundred
thousand ball cartridges, several pieces
of ordinance, and other munitions Of
war, to be delivered at port in the
MEDITERRANEAN. His hasty departure,
however, left matters in rather con-
fused state and we believe the contract
was not executed. Should he revisit
our shores, as is said to be in contcm-
pIation, it would be well for our pub
lie authorities to remember these tacs.

INTER ESTJNC To NAVIGATORS

INTER EsTING To NAvIGAToRs-
For the interest of American ship own
ers, wialers and all other vessels, it
cannot be too generally made known
that the Falkland Islands, of the
coast of South America, now afford an
excellent station, with many good and
safe harbors, at which vessels OF every
class may find supplies.
Ships proceeding to or from The
East Indies Cbina, or from the Paci-
&c coast and Polynesia, round The cape
Of Good Hope or Cape Horn, will find
at the Faulklands- the means in ordin-
airy cases of damage, or repairs, sup
plies of provisions, water, Get, in short
of all such stores as are required by
merchant vasseIs. There are no port
or custom house charges, whereas, at
all the South American continental
ports, whctherin Brazil or in the river
Plate, the charges are very high, de-
lays and veSations frequent, labor and
artists required for repairs exorbit-
ant
But the most Serious objection to
the Brazilian ports is the prevalence
of a malignant yellow fever, particu-
larly dangerous to the ship companies
on board vessels in the harbors.
From these reasons, as well as from
the convenience and facilities afforded
by the authorities, and by the new set
Elements at these Islands, the number
of vessels touching there has very
much increased and will no doubt,
continue to increase in every succeed
ing year

plan is to cxcavatc and arch Broadway

places for passengers to dcccnd and
ascend The ears are to be driven by
atmospheric pressure, horses and loco

Amendments to tine City
Charter.

IL the proceedings Of the Legislature
on Wednesday last, We see that the
committee appointed to take into con-
sideration a petition from the board Of
Selectmen for the town of Baton
Rouge (relative to amending an act
approved February 18Th, 1850, EMIT
led IAN Act to amend the several acts
relative to the Police and government
of the town of Baton Rouge, reported
unfayorably.
Though We believe that all amend
ments to the city charter, should first
be acted upon by the people, yet We
had hoped that the amendments recon-
mended Unanimously by the board
would have become the law. The
amendments suggested have long been
spoken Of, and have for the past three
weeks been before the people, and
they are such alterations as we ven
ture tie say would meet with the ap-
probation of nine -tenths of our citizens.
The amendments were carefully drawn
up by the city Attorney and after hav-
ing been acted upon separately by the
board, were handed to him, with in
s'ructions to place them in tie hands
of our Senator and Representatives,
and request them to use all diligence
in having them acted upon and passed
by the legislature.
What counter influence has been
brought TO bear to defeat the object Of
the board, we cannot learn, perhaps
the additional two or three hundred
dollars, added to the Mayors salary
But this we opine has not had as much
to do with it as the proposed division
OF the town INFO two districts.
We fear that there are some OF our
parsimonious friends who are afraid to
let the enterprise lately awakened "up
town." have its course. They are
afraid to place in the hands of the
people cfthis part Of the city the right
TO 60 on as body and improve, and
beautify the place. This we fear is
what has caused The defeat of the bill,
and VIC are very sorry for it. Beyond
n doubt the spirit of enterprise and
improvement is rife amongst us, and
the majority of this community is uni
ted in feeling as in interest. There
are few grumblers, that pull back
and endeavor to kill every thins-that
are like bleak wind and a frost upon
every hattcripg prospect, but they are
rapidly disappearing. We think the
proposed amendments to the city char
ter, good, and shall support them
The election for municipal officers is
close at hand, and we urge our broth
ern of the press to endeaver to make
the amendments question at the polls,
or vote separate ticket amendments
or no amendments.
