~ In one of the Ward Courts in New
York, last week, a suit was brought for a
years rent of house which the tenant abdica-
ted at the end of one quarter, rendering the
proportion Of rent for that period, which the
landlord refused to accept, and appealed in due
time te the law.-The defendant proved that
the house was SO infested with rats, mice and
every variety of smaller vermin, that it was
uninhabtable, if habitstion implies comfort.
The jury awarded to the landlord only the rent
of the quarter during which the tenant endur-
ed the nuisance.

BAKING FOR THE MrLLIOS-The n. York Tri5 uns

BAKING FOR rHE MILLIoS-The n. York TriJ ans
of Monday, SAYS:
Quite a number of our leading citizens on Satur~
day visited Mr. Berian's gigantic Bakery in Brook
lyn, and witnessed the whole operation OF Baking
for the Millionaire production of Bread being
there in progress at the rate of some five hundred
barrels Of Flour per day. The whole process was
inspected, from the kneading Of the dough to the
packing OF the losves for dislrbuton-the oven
automatically received about one hundred unbaked
loaves per minute and discharging as many Of
thoroughly baked bread which had been received
half 40 hour before. Everything was explained
by Mr. Berdan: but to the general public the
merest glance and taste oftbe bread sufficient
GU may doubt this assertion that he actually gives
bis customers more and better Bread for the price
Of a barrel Of Flour than they could possibly get
out Of barrel, but you never, otter the most
cursory view OF his processes, doubt that he can
DO this, at profit if he chooses.

Nicaragua.

1t appears that there is no foundation for
the reports telegraphed few days since
from New York all over the country, that
the President had given orders for stopping
the sending offurther supplies Of men, provi-
sions, &c, to Nicaragua, and for the arrest
Of Gen. Walker and Others. A later dis
patch says Mr.. Marcy and Mr. Davis de-
clare they have no knowledge of any such
orders. The reports appear to be part Of
the system Of Walkers enemies in the
North, to discourage operation in his be-
half, aud to overwhelm him with defeat
But, we apprehend, they mistake the patri-
otto impulses of the American masses, who
cannot see brother Americans surrounded
by serious difficulties, and their lives im-
periled, without an effort TO rescue them
The bloody massacre of the men Of the
Alama, aud the gallant spirits who surren-
dered in mistaken confidence with Tanning,
instead of appalling the brave aud chiTal-
rous men who sympathized with the strug-
gle for freedom in Texas, only made them
more determined in their exertions TO sue
. cor and sustain the cause. So it win be
in thepresent instance. Aid will continue
to be seat to Walker and his companions,
and we trust the result will be the COM
pete redemption Of Central America from
the seryile races who have despoiled it. It
is passing strange that any American, who
has spark of patriotism, should not desire
TO behold ibis consummation.

COALITION OF DEMOCRATS AND ABoLITIoHIsT.
The following communication exposes the
proposed coalition between the Democrats and
Black Republicans in the Indiana Legislature
in regard to the election of United States Sem
ator. At the last session of the Legislature the
Democrats prevented the election OF Senator,
and at the approaching session the Repu BIZ.
cans will have it in their power to prevent
the Democrats from electing one, but there
are two to be elected, and, upon the principle
that "half loaf is better than no bread" it
seems the Democrats have agreed to divide the
spoils and elect Jesse ID. Bright, a Freesoil
Democrat, and George W. Julian, an ultra
Abotionsts. Thus we find this very dsin>
terested Democracy always ready for bar
gain with anything, anybody or everybody,
TO procure a share of the public spoil.
TO tie Editors of the Louisville Journal.
