SETTLEMENT OF THE KoszrA AFFAR.-A let
ter from Vienna received by the America, and
directed to gentleman in this city, contains
the following interesting information The
Austrian government has given its consent to
the liberation Of Koszta with the understanding
that he should be Immediately put on board an
American vessel and 60 directly to the United
States. 1t was known that Mr. Marsh had pro-
posed an arrangement Of that kind to Baron
Bruck, and the Austrian government is said to
have given its consent, partly because it re-
lieves the French Consul General from the dis
agreeable engagement to keep Koszta, which
he had undertaken for the purpose Of saving
the city OF Smyrna and the shipping in the
barbor from immediate destruction. The Aus
TRAN government, in consenting to this ar
rangement, has expressly reserved its right in
case Koszta should return to Turkey, and also
considers him still an Austrian subject as long
az he shall not be Invested Of his native ma
tionality in o regular and lawful way.

Il
lish to-day an account Of the chifonniers Of New
York and of the rag trade, which will be found
interesting to our readers. A perusal Of the
article will lead those who have formed an err
roneous impression Of the business from the re-
pulsive character of some OF its features to
change their opinion. That the rag trade is in
dispensable to the great business world is
proved by the immense consumption of paper
in our establishment alone. We have shown
that, to supply the paper used in the printing
Of the HERALD, over three million pounds of
rags are required every year the cost OF which
at an average Of five cents pound, is about
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars. When
we consider the Importance of the rag
trade in relation to the interests of all de-
partments of business, we will be less likely to
think meanly of even the poorest of those en-
ployed in it.
In this account OF the chifonniers Of our city
it has been our object to give. not only de-
scription of the manner in which the trade Is
conducted, but to cnlighten the public upon
the social condition of the rag pckers as o
class. To do this thoroughly and completely.
we have visited them in their houses, convers cd
with them and made Investigations into the va
rious phases of the peculiar occupation in which
they are employed.
