bered that shortly after the Presidential cleo

received some ugly knocks and cuts about the
Uranium Had he not been a hard shell the
consequences might have wound up his polti-
cal career. He has survived to see the assail-
ing party brought to trial; but the technical
difficulties to their condemnation induced the
organ of the hard shells-the 'real genuine
Original Jacobs"-to suspect that there was foul
play somewhere. and so he came out with a
charge the other day OF disgusting rascality"
in the management of the trial. The soft shell
.fhJustero organ-"the Original Jacobs'-hings
back the accusation of disgusting rascality"
upon bis neighbor, the hard she'll, with interest.
Meantime, the sentence of the rioters has been
postponed to the July term Therefore let us
hope that there will be compromise between
the two warike brethren of the Jacobs family.

Min chu, and their forty odd members of the

the. unliquidated terrestrial comforts of these
Celestials? There is nothing in their contract
requiring him to furnish their rice, fish and
souchong. as his contribution to the celestial
drama. free of charge. They can't pay. Nor
are there any junks from Shanghae or Ningpo,
or Hong Kong, wherein they might reship to
the Central Flowery Kingdom. Besides, is there
not war of determination raging out there be-
tween the partizans ofthe Tanning chaw, or Ming
dynasty and the imperial Manchoos ofthe success
sion of Hien-fun? Yes, there is. But these ''poor
players" might do something could they return
to San Francisco. Something might be done
with them in connection with small circus,
even on this side of the continent, if some enter
prising and go-ahead manager like Barnum
were to take them in hand and give series
of exhibitions with them through the interior OF
the country. We trust that some active man
will appropriate this hint to his own advantage
and theirs. But surely the dramatic profession
of New York will not permit them to suffer
for the temporary want Of rice and fish. And
does not their case come within the bylaws Of
the Dramatic Fund Association? We ask for
information. Something should be done for
these unfortunate Celestials.

1t will be some consolation to those who

opportunity for SO proper proceeding has not
entirely passed away. When the British Com

MEXICO AND SPAIN-SANTA ANNA AND HIS
IMPENDING CoUP D'ETAT.-We have had some
strange and some very silly reports from Mexico
and Cuba within the last two days. On the
one hand it is rumored that General Canedo,
in behalf of Spain, has entered into an under
standing with Santa Anna. whereby Spanish
feet is to be sent to Vera Cruz. and a body of
six thousand Spanish troops, "be the same
more OF less" is to be sent to Santa Anna, to
assist him, not in making war upon the United
States. but in sustaining a coup d'ftat, a la
Louis Napoleon. Our Havana correspondent,
as will be seen by his letter, which we publish
this morning, mentions the departure from that
port of several vessels of war for Vera Cruz
or for slavers. This confirms previous letter
to the same import I; and the same question
which then suggested itself again recurs what
possible business can Spanish feet have at
Vera Cruz at this pestilential season of the
year, unless it is connected with some great
and comprehensive project Of a coup d'etat by
Santa Anna?
In proof of this general rumor of compact.
offensive and defensive between the Captain
General Of Cuba, in behalf of Spain, and Santa
Anna. Ell Cabano, the organ of the Cuban
Junta Of this city, adduces the following points
Of evidence =
1.-The interview Of Santa Anna and Canedo, da-
ring his stay in Havana, which lasted about four
hours at the Moline, the residence of the Captain
General.
2-The incorporation OF ABOUT forty Spanish OFF,
GERS in the ranks Of the Mexican army.
3.-Part OF the Spanish fleet cruising near Vera
Cruz, subject to the orders of Santa Anna.
A contract between the government Of Cuba
and Mexico, to provide the latter with arms and mu
nitions of war.
5-The grand decoration Of Carlos III to Santa
Anna from the Queen Of Spain.
6--The illusions of Arista to annexation, instead
of the restoration OF the monarchy, believed to be
propagated by Santa Anna
Wonder what Secretary Marcy is doing at
Washington. 1t is alleged that he is at logger
heads with Mr.. Buchanan upon the subject Of
the instructions Of the latter regarding his fu-
ture negotiations in London on the fishery
question. Can it be that our Premier regards
the fishery question as more pressing in its de-
mands for action than the affairs Of Cuba. Next
co, and Spain? Or is he awaiting the arrival Of
Gen. Almonte at Washington? Perhaps he is !;
but let him prepare for coup d'etat from
Santa Anna which will make Mexico an en-
pire, or a dependency again Of the Spanish
crown, under the vice royalty of the present
Dictator. Is our Premier wide awake.

PACIFIC RAILRoAD.-Our State Assembly have
been amusing themselves to fill up their time,
with another learned debate on the bill to in
corporate the New York Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad Company. One member is afraid that
this company will turn out to be monster cor
poration, like Biddle's National Bank, corrupt
ing the political elections, and controlling the
price of cotton and -four, with their hundred mil
lions Of capital stock. In fact, the bill looked
to him very much like cat in the meal tub,
and he preferred to keep his distance. Mr..
Taylor, who seems better to understand what
he is talking about, considered this project
great and glorious enterprise, as it is. But he
was neutralized by whig member from the ru-
raj districts. who fatty pronounced the concern
a Wall street speculation of the South Sea bub-
BILE order. Mr.. Wood, however extinguished
the argument of the rural gentleman in a few
palpable hits for the road; and he was seconded
in splendid style by Mr.. Littlejohn, who is
anything but little John on this mighty
question.
Mr. Shaw pronounced the idea that the ire
mendous commerce Of Asia could be brought
over our continent on railroad or on any
thing of the kind short of four or five hundred
parallel tracks, preposterous absurdity, or
something of the Sort Still he is Of the opinion
that railroad to the Pacific may be useful to
the country in q pecuniary point of vicw-so
are we. And, accordingly. we agree with Mr.
Shaw that the bill ought to be perfected so as
to be as acceptable to Congress as possible
But if Mr.. Shaw means by this that it would
be. good policy to kill the bill by delay we
cannot coincide with Mr.. Shaw We consider
it the duty Of New York, from her paramount
interest in the work, to break ground upon this
Pacific railroad Let us get the thing started
at all hazards. There is no danger that cor
poration to build this road will employ its hun
bred millions Of capital to overturn the liber-
ties OF the country. Pshaw

1t may be said that these improvements o. :
the streets would fall too heavily on the pr O.
perty affected by it. If SO let full portio' of
the expense be borne by the city at larg e-it
could well afford it for improvements o uni

measures would be of a magnitude too large in
cost and operation. 1t is to be re .membered
that the city is now metropolis of magnitude,
and that evils and difficulties whi' Sd exist and
are increasing without them are those of mag
nitude. and that narrow. VI wise. or selfish
policy must cause extensive md perpetual in

1t may be said that now, chen taxes have in

may be answered: let Competent and prudent
as weE as honest men be elected to Office; let
the systems Of cleaning streets, of lighting

erecting and repairing public buildings, and

honesty; let the idea of public agents sympa-
Sthising beyond their duty with public money
be discarded; let wisdom, and care, and civic
virtue reign in our public councils and soon
will the taxes diminish, and means will be at

Extravaganza and meanness are close allies;
economy and justice are intimate; prosperity
cannot flow from prodigality; fidelity and truth
