Dear Crescent-I will now devote on hour
the first leisure hour have enjoyed since my
arrival in the metropolis-to furnish you with
brief account Of the gossip of Gotham.
The upper ten are still out of town, enjoying
the dreary pleasures Of life at the fashionable
has been exceedingly sultry. Business drags
its dreary length drowsily along, The money
market is what is technically called tight to
most uncomfortable degree. Coup de-Soleil is
the heading of numerous paragraphs in the city
journals
The health of the city is far below par. Last
week there were q greater number of inter
ments than have occurred during the same space
of time for five years past. The number Of
deaths was 1,139. Of these, GIT were children
under ten years of age. 214 died of cholera
The increase of interments last week over the
preceding week, was 224 A city paper says
that 9" this is not so bad the circumstances con-
sidering" The remark is 1amentable true. To
walk in the bye streets of this city, or to visit
the residences of its Industrious, as well as its
outcast poor is calculated to increase our aston
ishment, not only at the culpable carelessness
Of the Health Committee of the Common Coun.
Gil, but at the comparatively small number OF
deaths that are chronicled weekly. The poor

| sad accident occurred on Monday, by which
several lives were lost. The roof of the Man
haitian Gas Works, at present in course of con-
struction in Fourteenth street, suddenly fell,
killing four and seriously wounding eleven
workmen. The very "slight" manner in which
buildings are constructed in New York would,
| in any well governed community, be prohibited
by law But there is no municipal law in New
York for, although ordinances are passed, they
are never properly executed. A Coroners jury
which investigated the affair, have returned a
verdict against the gas company. 1t is to be
hoped that some stringent measures will be
| taken to prevent such melancholy catastrophes
in future; but confess that when / reflect on
the material Of which the metropolitans legisla-
tive body is composed, l have but little hope Of
reform of any kind. AS professed philanthro-
pists are in the vast majority of cases very
selfish men, so nominal reformers are the most
conservative of men when abuses are to be
abolished. Our present city fathers were
elected as &c Reformers.''

ATRocIoUs OUTRAGE.-We have the particu-
lars of an unprovoked and atrocious outrage
committed by a negro, says the Mobile Adver-
tiser, of the 9Th inst, on the person of his mas
ter, Mr.. E O. johnson, on the Spring Hill Road,
about three miles from the city, on Saturday
last. 1t appears that the negro had been absent
week or SO without permission, and on his re-
turn Mr.. johnson questioned him as to where
he had been, etc, to which the negro returned
an insolent reply Mr. johnson moved towards
him for the purpose of tying his hands and con-
veying him to the city, (Mr. johnson has re-
Gently been ill and was quite Weak,) when the
negro felled him to the ground and stamped
upon him with demoniac fury, telling him he
intended to take his life. just then son of
Mr.. johnson hearing the noise came to his
fathers assistance, but being in feeble health,
the negro soon threw him aside and returned to
his master, who by this time had risen to his
feet, whom he again knocked down and endea-
vored to strangle. Mrs. johnson had by this
time reached the scene, and with great presence
of mind, heroieally sent brickbat at the head
of the miscreant, which gave him a temporary
check Fortunately, two gentlemen soon came
I'D and the negro was of course seized, bound,
brought into town and lodged in the guard
house.
1t appears that the wretch had given some
significant hints of his purposes to some OF the
negroes on the lot ana from MS disclosures IL Is
believed that he has been abetted by white per-
sons in the neighborhood of the city. He has
boosted to the negroes of being able to go off a
short distance, where he could stay as long as
he pleased, and be safe from pursuit. If there
is any truth in these statements, the matter
demands the vigilance of the police, and the
whole community is interested in ferreting out
and bringing such enemies to our peace Cif there
are such here) to certain and speedy punish
ment.
Mr.. johnson is confined to his room on ac-
count of the injuries he received, which are
severe, though, it is hoped, not dangerous. His
son was considerably hurt, but is able to get
about. Two knives were found on the person Of
the negro, and it is said he attempted to draw
one before he was arrested.

cents, s' Don't kill me, daddy" and these were
the last words the poor babe spoke, for in Sec
ond he was dead. The mother, who was in the
room, and little thought that her husband was
about to commit the horrid deed, shrieked, and
he Immediately caught hold of her and cut her
throat from the left ear, but the razor missed
the jugular vein and cut the cheek. He then
made two other attempts at her throat, making
severe gashes, but she struggled and fought
with him, and prevented his accomplishing his
murderous purpose. The daughter of the I'M
fortunate man, and her brother, escaped from
the room and gave the alarm, and soon Officer
Gaverly, of the Third District and several other
persons rushed up stairs to withhold his muir
derous hand.
son entering, they found Mr. Tucker strug-
Cling with his wife, in the act of cutting at her
throat; on the floor lay the body of the muir
dered child, weltering in its blood, which made
the room look like a slaughter house. One of
the persons who first entered struck the muir
derer on the head and knocked him down, and
one or two others held him down. He tried to
get his hand into his pocket, threatening to
shoot them, but the officer raised his club To
strike him, if he made any attempt to injure
them. They then secured him aud conveye
him to the Third District Station-hous where
he was locked up out of the way of further
harm In the commission of the horrid deed he
cut his own thumb severely.
sfThe unfortunate man has been considered
to be deranged in his mind at times, according
to the statements of his partner in business,
Mr.. Thompson, especially when laboring under
the influence of liquor.

Tucker Immediately after the fatal occurrence,

Republic of Mexico, and earnestly desirefor
her all the blessings and prosperity which

the rights of every State, and thereby the
Union of the States, and to sustain and
advance among us constitutional liberty,

the Union as il shall be, in the full expan-
sion of the energies and capacity of this
great and progressive people.
