SEVENTH WARD GRAnEs--The people of the
Seventh Ward should, without delay, give their at
tention to the regulating of their grades. Laws
have recently been passed, ordering the laying of
payements, and in consequence of the difficulty of
determining the proper grade, the improvement ID
suspended. To illustrate: At the intersection of
L and Tenth streets south there are two grades
recorded on the Surveyors book differing five feet
seven inches which is right, remains to be deter
mined. A resolution was introduced in the Coun-
ell last Monday authorizing tho Mayor to ask of
II. Goye, ESQ.,, his system of grades for that por-
ton of the city. he is an experienced engineer,
and his system is prepared with great care. The
people of that ward will be saved many annoyances
in the future, by at once adopting his system.

country, he abored hard to induce Congress to
give some expression of opinion, by resolution or
otherwise, relative to the action of Austria and
Russia toward the Hungarian nation. In further
ance OF this design he waited upon President Fill
more, whom be addressed, urging that the time
had come for interference on the part of this Gov
eminent to prevent the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Hun
gary by the despotic soveregns of Europe
President Fillmore replied briefly to the address
of M. Kossuth substantially as follows, showing
that the policy of his administration was the poll.
cy recommended in the Golden Rule, "Do unto
Others as you would that others should do unto
you" He would not interfere with foreign gov
ernments, and he did not wish the interference of
foreignism with his government:
az am happy, Governor Kossuth, to welcome
you to this land OF freedom and it gives me plea
sure to congratulate you upon your release from
long confinement in Turkey, and your safe arrival
here.
GAS an individual l sympathized deeply with
you, in your brave struggle for the independence
and freedom of your native land. The American
people can never be indifferent to such contest
but our policy as nation, in this respect, has
been uniform from the commencement of the
Government, and my own views, as the Chief Ex-
ecutive Magistrate Of the nation, are fully and
freely expressed in my recent message to Con-
gross, to which you have been pleased to allude
they are the same, whether speaking to Congress
here, or to the nations of Europe.
"Should your country be restored to independ-
ence and freedom, should then wish you, as the
greatest blessing you could enjoy, restoration to
your native lard !; but should that never happen,
can only repeat my welcome to you and your com.
panions here, and pray that Gods blessing may
rest upon you wherever your lot may be cast"
