Considerable dissatisfaction is ex-
pressed in New York at the manage
ment Of the Astor Library 1t seems
to be the determination of the mana
gers to make it select rather than a
popular institution. With this view,
it is kept open at such hours as are in
convenient to mechanics, clerks, and
business men generally. The voz
7,opuli is beginning to be heard in an.
cry tones, regarding this departure
from the views Of the munifcent foun.
der Of the institution.

BATON ROUGE BARRACKS,
A91yaL 18th, 1854.
To the Editor Of the Comet /:

1othe Editor Of The Comet:
DEAR SlE-Having just completed
at the expense Of the United States, a
substantial fence around the Cemctry
situated upon the United States pro-
perty East of the Barracks and Arse
nal, and supplied it with sufficient
number Of gates for the accommoda-
ton Of vehecles and foot passengers.
May | ask you to make such notice Of
the fact in your journal as may invite
observation and attention to the follow
ing requests-viz: All persons visiting
or passing through the Cemetery are
requested to do SO, by tue gates0ays,
and not by the removal or displace-
ment Of the pickets-and are further
requested to close the gates after
them.
Sportsmen are particularly desired
to respect the enclosure. 1t is hoped
that the Cemetery, will not be used as
pasturage for cattle.
As the expense Of this improvement
has been met by a special appropria-
ton Of the Quartermaster General, OBJ
tanned by urgent and repeated appli-
cations, it cannot be expected that the
U. S. will be subjected to any fur
ther expense on this account.
You may embody these remarks in
any way you may deem most expedi-
cnt, or that will best subserve the end
in view.
l am, dear sir, very resp't
Your obi. sevant,
9. eE &c. WILLIAM F. BARRY,
Capt. I'd Atty, Com'd.

4 To THE POLICE JuRY AND CIR
CouNclh-Frc til. proceedings O
the Railroad meeting held in ~
Capitol on Thursday, il will DO seel
III q q amittce Of Eve has been up
pointed = memorable the Police Jur]
and City Council on the subject Of thu
branch Railroad, to connect this cit,
viii New Orleans, by the short fort,
miles to lie Great Northern road
running East Of US. Alisl
A. tho time for the meeting in
New Orleans--the 18th Of May, il
cbseat hand, would itnot be we'll 70
call aspecialmeetipg Of each Of these
bodies, that the committee may be ut
once heard, and the question acted
upon ? The proposition will come
before them in the popular form,
"shall the Parish Of East Baton
Rouge and the city Of Baton Rouge,
subscribe to the capital stock Of the
Company ;" If aid is to be given,
certainly this would be the most cquit-
able plan, and meet the general up
probation Of the people. The argu-
ment in favor Of it, is that furnished
by example. We have the example
Of other places, all over the Union,
for it, and have but to look at their
increased wealth and prosperity, to
see the most certain reward that must
follow.
The present generation could not
possibly feel the burden ofa debt con.
tracted for quarter Of century. and
the interest on the amount, will be
more than doubly realized in the
profits that must at once accrue from
tho road, when in successful operation.
The feasible argument is, that
where all are alike benefited, oil
should alike be responsible has re-
solved itself into an established axiom,
and il has had the good moral effect
to unite society in a common bond.
1t is to be hoped that the Police Jury
Of the parish and the City Council,
will give the committee appointed on
Thursday last, an carly hearing. The
delegates to the meeting in New Or.
leans, on the 18th May, should
carry with them full and clear cx-
preston Of the will Of our people, in
reference to this matter, which is of
such vital Importance.

Now the question is, what does he
mean: Is he not u native himself,

in a measure responsible. therefore
we would advise him to be silent:
that is, if he wishes not to be consid.

more he says on the subject, the more
he knows, or Miuks he knows, which

In reference TO this matter, it is
just as well for us to confess at once,
