The Independence Of New York Clty-The
True Way to Reform.

The attempt made in the Senate of this
State to interfere with the rights and privi-
leges of the citizens of New York. by special le-
gislation. has excited a great deal of indignation
among all classes-among those opposed to the
Broadway railroad as well as those in favor of it..
This subject has been one Of the absorbing topics
of conversation on Change, in the courts.
at the City Hall, and in every circle The ques-
ton asked by every one was-Will Legisla-
ture sitting at Albany, and but few members
Of which represent New York, interfere with
our local concerns, of which the citizens
are the only competent judges? Will they at
tempt to violate the city charter which dele
gates the power to the Common Council to make
all laws regulating our streets, and delegates to
the inhabitants the power to elect those men to
the Common Council whom they deem most ELI
gible to take care of the interests of the city'
The conclusion at which every one arrived was,
that in that case there might as well be no char
ter at all for it became a dead letter and of no
practical value whatever if the Legislature
could come in at every step and interfere with
the action Of the people, either for good or for
evil.
This reasoning is unanswerable, and the char
ter would be but "a mockery delusion, and a
snare" if every man who had an axe to grind
could 60 to Albany and lobby there against any
measure that the Common Council considered
tor the advantage Of the city-a measure, per-
heps, about which The whole citizens were unan-
nous. As we said before, we are opposed to
tic Broadway railroad but under the mask of
preventing one evil we do not want to let in
principle that would forever bar all future good
only just so far as the dictators at Albany
thought proper to dole it out as q charity while
il would give them OF the same time the power

Our FOREIGN POSTAL ARRANGENENTs-RE-
TAILATORY MOVEMENT OF THE PosTMAsTER-GE-
NERAL.-The recent patriotic, democratic, soul
stirring speeches which have resounded in the
walls Of the United States Senate chamber. have
not only reverberated through the country. and
aroused the warlike spirit of the American
people, but have penetrated into the Post Office
Department and stimulated its officials into an
attitude indicative Of a full comprehension of
our national Importance, and determination
to maintain our rights. A new light has been
cast upon our foreign relations by Messrs Cass
and Mason so strong as even to illumine the
dark crannies of the Post Office, and to enable
the head Of that department to see matters from
new and truer point Of vision. Under the
light thus afforded the fact has at length inn
pressed itself on the mind Of the Postmaster
General, that for long time back. England has
been levying an undue tax upon letters and
newspapers passing through between France
and the United States and it was resolved by
that parsonage to submit to this imposition no
longer, but to turn over new leaf. and not to
take matters SO quietly as we were won't

the Postmaster General, has been already put

sion. cartel was issued from the department.
dated Gath January, 1858 ordering that
henceforth the single rate of United States
postage on all letters to and from France
through England be twenty-one cents and on
all newspapers four cents, such postage to be
collected in and retained by the United States"
The order was put into immediate application
the new rates having been charged on the mails
forwarded yesterday by the Arabia.
The measure Is at once hostile and retalia-
tory one fully justified or, rather, mperatively
demanded by the imposition practised by the
English Post Office Department in the transmits
sion Of the mails to which the order has refe-
renee. II seems that charge of sixteen cents
was levied in England on all single letters pass
ing through between France and the United
States whether they were conveyed to or from
England by Collins or Cunard steamer. If
sent by the latter this fee franked it through
but by the former, then the ordinary sixteen
cents ocean postage had also to be paid Thus.
while the cost of letter sent by the English
line was only sixteen cents for land and Sc

Irrigation of Gardens.

From repeated experiments we are in
duced to draw the conclusion that next to
manure, the great prime mover in success
full culture, there is nothing more important
to vegetable growth IN many cases than 'r-
rigation. Practical gardeners regard 1t as
indispensable, and large share OF their
success depends on copous watering.
Some interesting instances, which have
recently occurred, may be worth stating.
Two rows of raspberrIes stand on ground
IN every respect alike, except tina. one re-
ceves the drpplngs from wood.h"use,
aud the other does not. The wa,ered row
is fully four times as large in growth as the
other. Again-the berries on the bushes
of Fas,"Iph and Ffanconla raspberries
were, at least twice as large when the soil
was kept nIoistened, as afterwards when al.
lowed to become dry; repetition OF the
watering again doubled their size. Again

RES for market, and uses waler-cart for II.

hundred and twenty bushels 10 the acre, on
Common good soil by this means; aud he
noticed that where the cart was left stand.
ing over night, so tina, the water gradually
dripped from 1t, for some hours. upon a por-
tl"n of The plants, the fruit had grown to
double the size Of the rest in twenty hours.
1t should be observed tina, these advantages
OF copIous supply OF water pertain chiefly
To small or annual plants. The roots Of
fruit trees. being larger and deeper, are to
be pplied with moisture III a different
way that is by deep, rich, mellow soil 4,
kept moist by cultivation. or by Covering
thIck'y with litter. Water applied TO The
surface rarely descends so low as the roots
aud only hardens the soil TO ctust.--AL
