HoNEsrY.-Nothing could better illustrate
the honesty of New York Merchants, than the
following which was related to us by friend who
visited New York during the past summer.
Wishing to purchase hat something really
nice in the way Of fashionable tile-he step
ped into the well known establishment Of Messrs.
GEO. W. JEH1AL READ, hat and cap manu-
facturers, No. 100 Chambers street, where he
was shown an article which in every way suit.
ed his fancy, and ordered it to be sent on the
steamer Tennessee, the vessel on which he was
to leave for New Orleans. By some negligence
on the part Of the shipping clerk, the hat was
quently shipped on the Cherokee, to sail in q
few days. This vessel, as all know, took fire
while at the dock, and was entirely consumed
together with the hat, as o matter of course
| The Messrs. Read knowing that the hat had
been lost through their own negligence, in moi
having complied with the instructions of ou1
friend, manufactured another, and shipped IT'D
sailing vessel, which vessel was also lost be
fore reaching her port of destination. On the
reception of the news of the vessels loss, 9
third hat was manufactured and shipped, to-
gether with light summer leghorn hat as an
indemnity for the delay in receiving the origi
nal; and, which hats came safely to hand few
days ago, much to the surprise Of our friend
who was entirely ignorant Of the whole trans
action. None but honest men could be partici
pants in an act like this. sig5 e.

THE SoULE DuELs.-The Duels between the
Hon. Pierre Soule, our Minister at the Court Of
Madrid, with the Marquis Of Turgeau, the
French Minister to the same Court, terminated
in the Marquis having received the ball Of his
adversary in the leg, below the knee. The duel
Of Neville soule, son of our Minister, with the
Duke Of Alba, brother-in-law to the Empress Of
France, resulted without blood-shed. The par
ties, no doubt, feel that they have shown
to the world, and the e rest Of, mankind" that
they have acquitted themselves bravely in this
ridiculous affair. The weapons used we're small
swords. A late dispatch from Madrid to the
Emperor at Paris, as received by the Europa,
states that the Duke of Alba and Mr.. Soule, the
elder, had had aseeond duel, in which Mr. Souie
was killed. The dispatch, however, is not cred
tied. ai.4{ =.
It is stated in Geographic despatch to the
New Orleans papers, that Gen. Houston intends
to offer resolution in the Senate, calling for
information in relation to these duels.

of raid Rremen. We 60 rot Propose it as
new experiment 1t has long been in use in
London and in Pars, AMI has now reached
such pitcs ofperiection IL os cities hat
destructive a. e in eiihr is the r rest thing in
The world. Boston adopted it some time ago,
and tn committee appointed by the city of
Newark to examine tie que ton reported CO
gently in its favor. It's advantages. in fact,
are SO obvious that nothing but the high de-
gree Of popularity enioyel by our New York
iiremen could have prevented its proposal here
at an earlier period.
1t is but candid to confess the fact that that
popularity has not been increased of late.
Whether rightly or wrongly, the disclo ures at
the late inquest have cat a shade on the Fire
Department. Stories are gaining wind which
do not rebound to its credit. Men are recol-
lecting former cases of pillage, and suspicion
lie on the wing. 1t is our conviction that these
rumors, SO far as they apply to the firemen
proper, are calumnious and unjust but when
We see that the volunteer companies cannot
always exclude bad men from their ranks, or
prevent individuals whom nobody knows, from
joining their engines and accompanying them
to fires, we cannot wonder that portion of
the odium arising from the malpractices Of
these hangers on should attach to the depart
ment. The inference may be unfair: but we
must deal with the facts as they are.
1t was in view of this declining popularity
that we suggested to the firemen to take the
initiative themselves in proposing the substitu-
ton of paid force for the present volunteer
companies We think such a course would have
raised their character, and separated the bad
men from the good, as no one would advocate
such change who had nything to gain by the
maintenance of the present system. The fire.
men have yet to decide finally whether they
will act upon the suggestion or no. To the
city the course they may think fit to pur-
sue will be Of little consequence they must
not delude themselves into the belief that
their refusal to act will impede so necessary
reform. It is simply for them question whe-
Their they will tender their resignation or sub
NIT to dismissal.

Too MUCH or TOO LITTLE-It is really re-
freshing to find gu estion turn up in Congress
on the consideration of which party obliga-
tons and Presidential influence are rendered
subsidiary to the honest assertion of individu-
al feeling. The interesting polygamic episode
which occurred on the discussion of the Utah
bill, afforded q striking proof of the uncontrol-
liable manner in which nature will sometimes
speak out, in spite Of conventional restraints.
There is no subject that could have come before
the House that could be said to have more en-
tirely commanded either the active sympathy
or hostility of our representatives. Some felt
warmly interested in it, from having too little,
and some from having too much, of the article
which it was the object of the disputed proviso
to curtail. Others, who having attained green
old celibacy, felt no particular concern either
way were yet aroused to indignation by the vi
olation of republican equality, which recog-
nized the right of the poor settler to only one
helpmate, whilst it conceded to high govern
ment official as many as he could quietly ar
range with The latter class of dissentients
