 "The news of an hours age doth hiss the speaker" said the Bard of Avon felicitous- ly foreshadowing the life of great city in modern times when the variegated web of events runs so swiftly from the loom of time that its brightest colors only flash upon the vision for an instant to be forgotten. So you must not wonder that the Poole tragedy
 which stirred the city to its lowest depths has become an untaked of ''by- gone.'' or that even the startling intelligence by the latest California mails of overwhelming financial disasters which set Wall st. "on roar'' of alarms, has been obscured by fresher topics. Marriages in public and births Tn private are centers of exciting but narrow interest, and Death whose beat' extends from 9th av. to the Points has start led our ears with new feat, for crossing the Bay the day before yesterday to Bergen Point he superintended the blowing up of q fireworks factory at Grenvile, by which he gained two immediate victims and left eight ] survivors so badl y wounded that one soon after joined him, while the fate of the re-
 mainder hangs doubtful.
 Then on the evening of the same day the "solid men of Gotham met in great num- bcrs in the Tabernacle to protest against the passage of the Police bill now under con- sideration at Albany, which proposes to take tine management of the Police from the control of the Mayor, Recorder, and City Judge where it now lies, and vest it in four commissioners to be elected by the voters of the city. Able speeches were made against the bill, aad roll of 1000 names of voters was displayed attached to peti- ton againstits passage. No measure which arises to abate the authority of Mayor Wood as this bill would do, can be popular among our citizens. Wings, Democrats, Freesoil- CTS, all who would conserve the public peace have been gained over to the number Of his warm friends by the extraordinary energy, impartiality and ability which have thus far signalized his administration. Last Monday he issued warrants for the arrest of the proprietors of two of the most notorious gambling houses in the city-Pat Hearne of 557 and Joseph S. Hall of 537 Broadway. The first has made himself rich at his infa- nous trade, rumor says he has fleeced his patrons occasionally to the tune of Sl5;OOO night. Halls place, description of which was given in one of our recent let ters, was one of the most luxurious and splendid in the city. They are held to bail in the sum of Sl ,OOO each. Also an afIlct- cd husband in the good city of Boston whose soul had been wronged by slandsrous re- ports of his desertion and betrayal by his wife whom he had left in this city until such time as he could earn the means 10 carry her away writes an appealing letter to Mayor Wood begging that he will find her out and restore her to his arms. A po- liceman is immediately set to search, and To! the constant wife is found in desttution but in innocence, and despatched or her re- joicng way to her sorrowing spouse.
