About sixteen years o. age, was sentenced to I'M

taken by the authorities appear to have been
effectual. The cases, as will be seen by the
report of the examina ion of the prisoners, which
may be found elsewhere, stood each by itself,

The STREETs-THE HoT WEATHER-THE
CHoLERA.-The hot weather is upon us--the
"pestilence which walketh in darkness and
wasteth at MONDAY" is all around. A violent
winter of consumptions and rheumatisms, and
stormy and disagreeable spring, with its pneu-
monte and dysenteries, will probably be succeed
cd by an unhealthy summer. The corporations
from river bottoms, swamps aud marshes, Of the
immense amounts of water which drenchcd the
earth since last January, will be very apt to
produce crop of fevers and choleras through
out the country. The substantials Of life are
excessively dear--as the summer vegetables
are brought into the market, they will be con-
sumed in unusual quantities, filling up many
chink in the stomachs Of our people, heretofore
appropriated to roast beef, mutton, pork ana
bacon. The consequence will be that our popu-
lation viii become more liable to the cholera,
should that dreadful disease assume again the
character of an epidemic We are thus ad-
monished of the extraordinary obligation de-
volving upon our local authorities to clean the
streets, and to prepare against the threatened
extension Of the cholera, from few sporadic
cases TO a general epidemic.
Mr.. Glazier, in taking the sweeping Of Broad
way from the hands Of Gcnin, promised to keep
it clean. lie had no right TO make such pro-
mise, TO the total neglect Of other streets. But
he has failed to fulfil IL. even In regard to
Broadway, for it is easy to perceive that it is
gradually getting dirtier and dirticr from day
to day But Broadway is perfect picture of
cleanliness con,rasted with the cross streets,
tide streets, bye streets, and back streets In

HE ambition OF OUR DoCKs-To say that
New ork is one of the worst governed and
dryer of cities is but to state a fact which is
aimo' It as well known as the metropolis itself.
"h' N we speak of our city the imagination pic
tur O. streets reeking with filth, sunken lots in
w Aose stagnant waters the carcases of animals
re permitted to lie rotting in the sun, engen-
dering the most poisonous masma, dilapi-
, dated houses under whose well ventilated roofs
the children Of poverty try in vain to find a
shelter from the storms of heaven and the still
more pitiless storms of the world; but the
evils with which New York is afflicted are too
numerous to recount and too painful to dwell
upon at length. Many of them, we know, can
not be removed by legislation many of them
are produced by individual neglect and many
of them are incidental to all great cities. We
only desire at present to speak of one in parti-
eular, which can be remedied by our municipal
government. We allude to the condition of the
docks on the East and North rivers, a subject
which appears to have been entirely forgotten
by our authorities, but which is of the utmost
Importance to a large class of our population.
1t is matter that our commercial community
feel direct interest in, and which they have
vainly attempted to procure Legislative action
upon. e&
We are aware that steam dredges are employ
ed fer the cleaning of the docks, but there is
not o sufficient number of them. In some
placer, the mud is from six to ten feet deep.
while the water at full tide is not more than
eight or nine feet. The consequence Of this is
sometimes very serious as was proved in the
case Of the Joseph Walker which was DESTROY
ed by fire at the same time the Great Republic
was burned. Every effort was made to aoat
her into the stream when she caught fire, but
the mud in which she lay held her with such
tenacity that it was found utterly impossible to
move her.
The accumulation of filth in the docks is pro-
duced partly by the defective manner in which
the sewers are constructed. Instead Of being
carried to the end Of the piers, where their con-
tents would be carried away by the current,
they discharge their contents from the bulk
beads, to which the currents seldom extend The
effects OF this are perceptible when the tide ia
out in the disgusting appearance the docks
present, and the sickening stencil arising from
the putrid mass that lies at the bottom The
remedy for this is very obvious. Let the num-
Der OF dredges be increased; let the sewers be
carried the entire length of the piers, and let
all the piers that may hereafter be built, be so
constructed as to offer no obstruction to the
force of the current

Tho Coroner,s investigation as to the cause OF the
aootbs of the different men who were killed by the
falling OF portion Of the house No. 23l Broadway,
Al the time of the recent fire, concluded yester
dav. The Jury found that they lost their lives by
two distinct calamitiesthe falling Of the wall
of the front building and the falling of the beams
and flooring. The verdict records that the entire
building was q complete death traps" that the fire
was the work of incendiaries, and thas the arch-
tect, the mason, the carpenter who put in the tim
bers and the lessees Of the premises, are the par
ties Immediately responsible for the perous condi-
ton of the structure. Annexed to the verdict is
lengthy report, signed by all the jury, in which the
attention Of the authorities is pontedly called to the
defects Of the fire laws row in force more particu.
larry to the section which relates to the inspection
Of dangerous. buildings by the Wardens. The apa-
thy which seems to pervade the city government
with regard TO these dangerous nuisances is referred
to, and the drafting Of system of fire laws, by
a competent committee, recommended.
The testimony Of the prosecution on the trial of
Major Wyse was brought to close yesterday, and
evidence for the defence was presented. The first
witness, 1t. Loeser, who was on board the Falcon
wien she was obliged to put into Norfolk, testified
to the condition Of the vessel. II appears from his
testimony that the engines and machinery were in
such defective condition that they were obliged TO
! stop twice on dc passage to repair them.
Tie trial og Mrs. Hayes for the murder of Dr..
Lutener was continued yesterday in the Court Of
Oyer and TeImirer. The examination Of witnesses
for the prosecution is still going The prisoner
continues in very prccarious state Of health, aud
occupied her couch during the entire day. The
trial seems likely to occupy the greater part OF next
week. TIE court room has been crowded to excess
since The fast day, and the excitement still contin

looked f,r before the case terminates.
Lower and Inediuia grades OF Western and State
-four were sold yesterday at III cents per barrel I'D
vance. Gem also improved about two cents per
| bushel for prime Southern yellow. Wheat was in
limited supply, and nominal. Rye was scarce, with
SIN Il sales at 81 Is per bushel. Cotton continued
dull with moderate transactions. European
freights were quite dull, partly on account Of the
limited supplies Of breadstutis wanted for shipment,
which, with good local demand, kept prices above
the limits of orders, and partly from disposition
among dealers to await the receipt Of intelligence
| from Europe.

after the close of business yesterday, amounted to
