THE CRoTON LINE OF sTAGEs-MORE OMNIBUS NUI-
sANCES- REVIEW By THE MAYOR OF THE POLICE.
The parties representing the Company Of the Croton
Line ofsages before the Mayor early yesterday
morning, and granted long hearing. They stated
that they had been permitted the space of FIVE years
to run the route which is now complained of, and
that it would cause serious damage to their bust
ness in pecuniary point OF view If they were
compelled at short a notice to take the original
route for which they licensed. His Honor how
ever had no dscr.tion in the matter by the law IL
placed beyond his either to interfere with exist
ing routes or to grant new He advised them to
lay their case before the Common Council a commu
nicaton to that body snd told them that in the
while he would allow them to continue in their present
route until the 10th OF the month"; when if they shall
not have obtained from the Common Council permisson
to the contrary ne will restrict them to driving through
the streets for which they have received grant

ties, aud will, therefore, be followed.

Dissolution OF THE CUBAN LIBERArING
LEAGUE.-We understand, from the best au-
thority, that the Cuban ilibustering conspiracy
has exploded. The causes resulting in this un-
timely dissolution are pretty much the same as
those which have so frequently disturbed and
broken up our operate ompanies--quarrels
among the managers and artists native aud
foreign, over the programme of the spoils. The
Americans have detached themselves from the
Cuban Junta, and we shall accordingly have
no more Cuban flibustering for season. The
track being thus cleared, great things may be
expected at Madrid from our new minister
Augustus Caesar Hannibal Napoleon Dodge, and
from the wise instructions which he has carried
out from Marcy. But let not Tammany Hall
be too sanguine. Marcy is slow coach, Cuba
is long way off, and " Rome was not built 10
q day."

ing the battle of barbarism, SO far as Turkey is
concerned. and intend undoubtedly to take the
only means of preventing their triumph {should
they succeed) being the triumph of barbarism,
by dealing with Turkey as they accuse Russia
Of now wanting to deal. The most likely of the
apparent causes for the war is the dread of Rus
sian power. But in this, as in the estensible
cause, il does not fully appear that the course
of the allies is warranted by truth or history.
Allowing that Russia should absorb Turkey,
and plant Der eagles over Constaatinople, it
seems more likely that the addition of this new
territory to her empire, with its foreign races.
foreign faith and foreign manners, would prove
the ruin of the conqueIor, than a menace
to the rest of the world. The cohesive element
which sustains the Russian sutocracy is already
stretched to the utmost: further tension would
be likely to rend it apart. Transmigration-
which the beauty of the climate, and the deli
ciousness of the Dsrdanelles would soon teach
the Russian nobility-weuld be fatal to the
nation. The Muscovites of Constantinople
would not be the Muscovites of Moscow or st.
Petersburg would rather need the protection
than disturb the repose Of foreign Powers If
it be Russis's destiny to expand, as it appa-
rently is, that expansion must be on the side Of
Asia-through Asia Minor, Bokhara, and away
to the Himmaley abs: where her civilization
would be superior to that of the natives, her
race sturdier, her habits and customs more
progressive. Expansion on the European side
would be only fresh illustration of the old
fable of the earthen pot moving out OF its place
to make war on the pot of iron.
For the present, Sebastopol and the war in
the Crimea may be regarded as very small
matters, hardly worth close attention. The
true point of Importance is the course of Aus
tria. On that depends in great measure the
success Of the Western programme. II Austria
proves unfaithful to her traditions and carries
out honestly her promise Of offensive opera
lions against Russia, for the accomplishment Of
which the time has now arrived, no change
may be needed, and Alexander may be com
PEELED to postpone the realization of his hopes;
if on the other hand Austria plays false to the
allies at the last moment, and makes good the
confident assurance of Nicholas, a fresh edition
of the programme will be needed. That can
be none other than the cry of separate nation
alities.

DUDLEY MANN RESIGNED-As we predicted,
SONS time ago, Mr.. Dudley Mann has been
compelled to leave the State Department. 1t
was not large enough for two premiers; aud
Marcy, having made all that could be made of
his assistants programme upon diplomatic
coats and breeches, European politics and the
Cuba question: has turned him adrift. This is
an old trick of Marcy. He is selfish and re.
morseless spokesman. About the year 1882.
when the editor of this Journal was one of the
editors of the Courier and Enquirer, Marcy
used him to secure the democratic nomi-
nation for Governor of this State. Hav-
ing secured it, he turned his back upon
us, and cooly boosted of the juggle. So
with Gen. Scott When this accomplished Off
Ger had planned the movements and dispositions
OF our armies in Mexico, their shipment and
transportation of munitions and supplies, &C..
dor all which Marcy obtained the credit as the
mere signer of these orders of the War Depart
mentD and when Scott had thus, upon his own
plans and arrangements, carried our flag into
the enemy's capital, Marcy seized upon the
first pretext for despoiling him Of his hard
earned laurels, and for making him the un-
guarded victim of that single weakness of let
ter writing, which, before that time, and subse-
quent)y, lost the noble old soldier the Presi-
dency. So with Messrs. Buchanan, Mason and
Soule. They were used, entrapped and sacri-
feed by Marcy upon the same treacherous, re.
morseless and selfish principles.
Let Mr.. Dudley Mann congratulate himself
upon his escape, go to some bookseller, and
turn to cash account as far as compa' BILE
with the public interest, the curiosities of his
otherwise Improbable connection with Marcy
and all concerned. Sonle is getting up book
on the diplomacy of this administration. Let
Dudley Mann do the same; and thus we shall
have connected history upon the subject, from
MaIcys proclamations on coats and pantaloons
down to the departure of Com McCauley for
Cuba and Gen. Augustus Caesar Hannibal
Dodge for Madrid. Mr.. Mann's the man.
