The annual ocean steam mail appropriate On BILL which

Some rsstDg information, with regard TO
the recent disappointments aud present hopes of
Quitman and Thrashess great enterprise for tine
conquest Of Cuba, will be found among our tele.
graphic dispatches this morning. II seems thai:
the patriots of Cuba begin to ds!rust the patriots
Of this country, and are no longer willing to far.

Thus, instead Of half million of dollsrs as prom
ised, the illustrious Qultms1 has only got beg
carly fifty thousand with the assurance, couched
in no very nattelins terms, tsat be shall not get
another dime. In this emergency all hopes are
fixed on Kinney and the tremeodou, array Of three
ship loads with which he is about 20 attack the
mosquitos of Central America. 1t is believed
that after having subjugated these mosquitoes,
Kinney may be induced to turn his attention to
the richer prize Of Cuba, which, it seems, is an
old object of his Flllibuster aspirations. Very
likely; but we hope he will do up the job now in
hand before he undertakes another. Let him
make himself immortal before he undertakes to
help Qutman on the road TO glory.

laid upon the table A resolution to Increase the
salary Of the Messenger of the Board Of Aldermen
to 5000 and that Of the Assistant Messenger Of
the same Board to $500, was also tabled. The
Veto Of the Mayor upon the resolution lately
passed by the Common Council 30 authorize the
Commissioner of Repairs and Supplies to employ
$50 men at 81 per day to remove the ruins of the

that the authority assumed by the Common Coun
ell in the premises is not compatible with the pro
visions Of the Charter. The Petition from the
Workipgmen was offered in the Board, but as il
was not presented in due srder, the Board de-
ciinsd to receive it. Two of the present con-
tractors for cleaning the streets petitioned the
Board for release from their obligations, on the
ground that they find it impossible to keep the
streets clean during the winter months. After
