CITY REFORM.

We might suggest some amendments TO the
details Of the projected Reform Of our City
Charter emanating from the great Reform
Meeting at the Metropolitan, and now Gin sub
stance) before the Assembly, but in the main
we esteem il sound and wholesome. We
would prefer TO see q member Of the more nu-
nerous branch Of cur Council chosen from
each Election District, so as to render the
body eminently popular and 30 numerous az TO
be beyond the reach of corruption. This would
also obyiate Gerrymandering in the arrange
ment Of the Districts 1t might be weIl TO
choose member of the less numerous branch
from each Assembly District, so as TO equsize
representation more nearly; but we will not
insist on that
At al events, Members of the Legislature
give our City chance 20 purge herself from
the leprosy that now scourges her When the
whole Country and part of Europe give US
call next summer to visit our Crystal Palace,

looks to us like q great disregard Of the sPirit
Il not of the letter Of thss Treasy. Her TO
cent conduct in that part Of our hemisphere 70
which il relates, does not seem TO be like that
of a power which intends TO abdicate It's sa'
thority or pretensions Like trespasser or q
poscher expelled from an inclosure, she prowls
about the outskirts, or stops reluctantly at the
fence. Great Britain has shown no slacrity or
heartiness in fulfilling the terms OF that Ires-
". so far as we can perceive. And BY what
authority does Mr.. Clayton speak OF her In
tentions TO do soi They can scarcely De IN
fered from her past acts in the premises. For
our part, we decline to concur in this vie" oil
the purposes Of Great Britain, taken BY MI
CLAYTON, until we have better evidence OF It's
soundness than any now before US And be-
sides. we do not see why Mr.. Clayton should
undertake to vouch for her. He ably dis
charged his duty and triumphantly indicated
his conduct, in the negotiation OF the Treaty,
and in the speech in defense Of it, Here he
might well be content to stop. The guaranty
of its fulfllment on either side does not rest
with him. IL has passed into other hands. Let
them see to it, 1t is for the existing Admins
tratiou to discharge all our national obligations
created by it, and it is theirs also to recognize
all nfractions of it, and TO insist that its terms
be strictly observed by the other contracting
party. We decline to take or endorse Mr.. Clay
tons guaranty of the course of Great Britain,
and are sorry he volunteered it. Let the re-
sponsibility of the execution of that Treaty rest
where it belongs, upon the shoulders of thepre
sent Administration.

harm in taking your Potatoes from the cellar

compliance with this injunction can cost but a

MIR. CLAyTON,s SPEECH.

We have read with pleasure and admi-
ration Mr.. ClaytOn's great speech on the Bull
wer and Clayton Treaty. We are unable, for
want of room, to publish the entire speech,
but shall find space for that portion Of it which
treats particularly of the Monroe Doctrine"
Mr.. Clayton addressed himself in the main to
the task of establishing three propositions.
1st That no party and no administration in
this country has ever proposed TO itself TO
obtain an exclusive right of way between
the two Oceans but, all sides on all occa-
sions, have aimed at securing this passage,
by ship canal, or otherwise, for the use and
benefit Of all NATIONS, and for the commerce of
the world. And further, that it is unwise and
wholly impolitic TO attempt any such exclusive
possession or control.
I'd. That what is meant by the term L" Cen.
tral America" does not, and never did, and
that nobody but an ignoramus would pretend
that il ever did, or does, embrace British Hon.
duras. To establish this point, he quotes
geographers by the column as web as the
action of our Government, and that of Mr..
Folks administration in particular
Sd That the Monroe doctrine has never
received the sanction of this Government in
any of its departments since il was first pro-
mulgated. But that on the contrary, the mild
est and most emasculated form of it has been
voted down in Congress by overwhelming ma
jorities, and that all the Democratic Presidents
particularly, since Mr.. J. Q. Adams, have been
hostile to it, and that the sudden zeal of the
leaders of that party in its behalf, is new born,
and deyelopes an extraordinary tergiyers alton
of party movement, and a strange earnest
ness to seize upon and follow the ideas of those
great Wing leaders, John Quincy Adams and
Henry Clay.
These may be considered the three great
divisions of Mr. Clayton's speech each of
which be treats with unrivalled clearness of
conception. force OF logic, and energy of de-
clamation. He defends bis own treaty, and
exposes the glazing defects and manifest un-
eonstitutionality OF the Hise treaty and
marches through the whole field of debate with
the assured consciousness of triumph, and
leaves it with the air and mien Of selfsatisfed
victor.
We must cay that We have read no
speech on the subject which has so impressed
US with its greet ability. its perfect mastery of
the whole question, its direct and masculine
tone, and its strength and cogency, as this.
Mr.. Clayton has not spoken in vain He has
made most useful and instructive speech. and
has elevated his own high reputation BY his eff.
fort.
But Mr.. Clayton has allowed himself TO be
stung OF surprised int taking the position.
during the debate, that England has not yioIat-
ed, but intends to faithfully observe the CLAW.
ton and Bulwer Tresty. We consider this as.
sumption wholly grstuitous on the part of Mr..
Clayton, and We see no good ground for the
declaration. On the contrary, we see what

RAILROAD PUNCrUALIrY.

We have received card, dated Dunkirk,
March 18th. and signed by II. B. Spelman OF
Cleveland and several other gen 'lemen Of great
respect ability, setting forth in substance this
that. on the morning of the 18th inst. these
gentlemen took passage from this City over
the Erie Road for DInkirk, where the Comps-
ny's timetable promised that they shoald ar
rive st ~ 81 that night, and Of course in time
for the Lake Shore train West, which leaves
Dunkirk st Is; but the Erie train did not ar
rive till , Is, or an hour and ten minutes after
the Lake Shore train had passed, whereby the
Erie passengers we're compelled to wait
twelve hours for the succeeding train. Now,
though persons who have travelled nineteen
hours, and made 463 miles, might naturally
be deemed not disinclined to few hours rest,
yet they must be their own judges on this
point, and, since they wished to go on, the
Company violated its contract and laid itself
open to suits for damages by failing to reach
Dunkirk before o'clock.
The passengers state that the only reason for
this failure was the inefiiciency Of the engines
employed. We happened to be travelling over
the Erie Road during a part of that same
day, Cast Monday and We know that high,
strong northwest wind prevailed, which noto-
riousy tended to impede the generation of
steam and the progress Of the train While it
is proper that this should be considered, We
do not offer it as any justification OF the Com
pany. High northwest winds are among the
incidents they must expect to encounter, and
they have no right to promise what such wind
will render them unable TO perform They
have no right TO calculate on the most favora-
be conditions, and secure passengers under
the assurance that they can only make when
those conditions are presented If they can
not certainly make the Dunkirk connection by
starting at o'clock, they should start at 6, or
even at 5; and if they will not do this, they
should alter their timetable and not lead men
men to calculate on the Dunkirk connection,
when it is lottery whether they make it or
not.
We need not say that we make these re-
marks in no unfriendly spirit to the Erie Road.
We would not be understood as implying that
failures to connect with the Lake Shore trains
at Dunkirk are habitusl with tive presume
they are rare but they should not, save in
case of some unforeseen aud unavoidable
casualty, be permitted to occur at all. We
do not say that the Erie is more apt to get
behind time than other Roads, though we ap-
prehend that its trains are oftener behind time
at the end of their respective routes than are
those of the Central line. Yet that is just
what they cannot afford to be- Let the Erie
Road be run punctaany and it must win more
and more upon the Central line; for there
really is very striking contrast between the
comfort, and ease of riding Especially by
night in the spacious, roomy cars and ON the
long, capacious seats of the Erie Road and the
necessarily cramped accommodations of any
narrow. guage Road whatever; but when time
is called, Railroad must be on hand, or it
will soon be nowhere

" Mr.. McMAsTTa, the Editor Of The
FTonGn's Journal said at the dinner Of the
Young Friends of Ireland the other evening,
that "if the other editors of the City would
stop their newspapers and go to publishing
books, be would stop his, and find some
'honester ,nay of making living" We have
long understOod from reading The Frseman's
Journal that its editor regarded it as . very
dishonest paper, and have quite agreed in that
opinion; we should also unafectedly rejoice in
bis conversion, bat there is need Of some
better guarantee Of success than the above,
before we undertake 70 join in the work on
the terms proposed.

~ We have by an arrival at Boston some
further accounts from Truxillo which correct
to some extent the previous reports of the
doings of the British steamer Devastation in
Honduras. Some distance east of Truxillo
the river Roman empties into the Gulf of Mex.
leo this river il is contended by the English,
is the Northern or rather the North Western
boundary Of the Mosquito Territory, and on
this ground they have long maintained log.
wood-cutting establishments, on the eastern or
Mosquito side of that river. In process Of
time, however, they have crossed TO the Hon.
duras side, and have taken possession of lit
tie place on the coast called Limas which
they have made the depot Of gangs of logwood-
cutters, whose operations have been carried
on upon ground TO which the title of Hondu-
ras has not hitherto been disputed The au-
thorities of that State, though willing enough
TO let them cut the lOgwood, insisted on their
paying the usual fee for the privilege Of so
doing, and ON their refusal about four months
since proceeded to dispossess them by force
The Devastation has now reInstated them on
the novel pretense that Limas is within the
Mosquito Territory and that Honduras has no
right 20 any revenue from its logwood, nor any
other right connected with the spot. This is
not quite so bad as the statement before re-
eeiyed according to which the boundaries of
that mysterious territory had been extended
over Truxillo Itself, but in point Of principle
it amounts to the same thing. We now
anxiously wait TO see the Government Of the
United States apply the Monroe doctrine and
protect Honduras in her clear right to Linas
and its logwood

II Our dispatches by the Canada announce
the conclusion of the warlike difficulties be-
tween Austria and Turkey, and that diplo-
matte Conference, to be held at Paris, is to def
nitely settle the matters in dispute. This result
may be attributed to English diplomacy, which
proves more successful than we anticipated.
Mazzini is said to have escaped from Italy on
board of an English frigate at Genoa. He has
replied to Kossuths statement that he did not
write the proclamation published at London in
his name, and says that it was the work Of
Kossuth, written for Mazzini to use before he
left Kutahia, and never withdrawn 1t seems
likely that some permanent i'll feeling may arise
between the Italian and the Hungarian leader
from this cause. The man who tried to kill
the Austrian Emperor has been shot the En-
perors wound is said TO be more serious than
was at first reported. The Zollyeren question
is settled in Germany, by all the States that
have heretofore held oct agreeing to come in.
In England the House of Commons has turned
out eight Members for having got their places
