cles of wearing apparel and jewelry, was again be-
fore the Mayor, yesterday, and after partial ex-
animation, committed till this morning. From the
number OF house robberies that have taken ri ace

city, and it therefore becomes the duty of all TO
spare no efforts to detect them The police have
succeeded in discovering variety of the stolen ar.

CuBA MoRTGAGED.-The New York Sun,
commenting on the report brought by the

raised loan of 65 millions of reals, secured
on the revenues of Cuba, justly remarks that
if this be true, it is conclusive evidence that
Spain has not the remotest idea of disposing
of the Island to the United States; and it is
evidence also, that the parties making the
loan have not only confidence that Cuba will
remain securely in the possession of Spain,
but that they have confidence in the intention
of France and England to prevent the forci
BILE annexation of the Island to the United
States. .+...

SUNDAY MARKErs.-At the last meeting

SUNDAY MARKETs.-At the last meeting
Of the CouuciL Mr.. Anderson offered resolution
instructins tho Committees on MARKETS. TO enquire
into the expediency OF Sunday mar
meats sold on Saturday afternoon were killed the
day before whereas, IL Sunday markets were In ex-
isence the eats would be killed Saturday after
noon and a. matter ofcourss would be more ct for
use tb IN they now are. z-- 5
II Mr. Anderson has been correctly informed Sun
day markets certainly essential to the health Of
the city in warm weather. But we understand from
gentlemen engaged in the butchering business that
tho.e who buy meats on Saturday afternoon get them
fesher than they would on Sunday morning, owing
to the fact that est of the butchers kill their stock
between the hours of the morning. aud evening mar
kets; whereas when the Sunday markets were in
vogue they killed their cattle the day before They
readily Omit that they sell tbs meats left over from
can; but this they would also do on Sunday morning,
as they cannot afford to throw away such stock as
may be left on hand.
One of the great reasons for breaking up SUNDAY
sation of net roes that gathered about them, and
blocked up the sidewalks. If Sunday markets
resumed this nuisance will again be created to the
annoyance of the public.
We have noticed the subject one of public int.
rest, and shall be content with the action of the
from its Market Committees. If, on investigation,
It should turn out that meats sold Saturday after
noon, are less fresh and sound, than such the
ket would be supplied with on Sunday, then 90 in
Cd other than the mere convenience of those who
prefer buying on sunday morning to Saturday night,
then we think the change would prove unwiss
one. and should not be made. Tbs Sabbath day
should be rgidly observed by the city possible,
for when che tolerates kind of traffic in It, there
are hundreds of persons who will follow her exam
pie, and spend 1t in conducting their ordinary bust
ness pursuits for the mere gain of doars and cents
