DEAR HERALD:--
After long, disagreeable storm, we are
again blessed with fine delightful spring wealth
er. 1t quite astonishes the inhabitants OF
brick and mortar on beholding the little green
spots called parls--they look 50 beautiful and
pleasant. Indeed, if it were not for these lit
tie Edens, one half Of this great city would
have very imperfect idea Of the thousand
beauties to be found in the country. Verify,
God made the country manmade the town.
This city, as you have seen by the papers,
has been kept for weeks. in continual state
of excitement by reasoned a certain bill passed
by the last Legislature, called the Police Bill.

Macduf bids him YIELD (swears he will not
yield, and before his body throws his war

Ito carry on the pretty farce. 1t is reported
that the man of pure blood, Gov. King, will lie
down in few days and attempt to lay plas-
ter on this " very stubborn sore," and, it is
limited, give the affected parties little sarsa-
parilla for the publication of their blood, BY

The anniversaries this spring, of the various
religious and benevolent societies, have been
more than usually interesting, and with all
due respect, we say, amusing. Under the
latter characteristic we would class the Spir-
itualists, who are still in session in the Fourth
Avenue. There was a great crowd present
yesterday at their exercises, which are repre-,
sented as being highly amusing. The
fair sex seem to be the all powerful in this
body; their president being a very strong
minded woman. Ito Judge from her actions yes

The New York Herald, a few days ago star
ted a cry against high living, fnanciering, end
an inevitable crash similar to '36 which would
soon follow. The first article in support of the
Hrald's representation was quite augumenta-
tive and contained much truth. 1t showed
that provisions of all kinds had advanced in the
last IA years, 80 per cent while manual labor
commanded old wages; it brought home the
fact that the solid men,---the old guard in a
last resort-the farmers, they who have been
held as the most Independent of mankind, are
now the veriest slaves of speculation and ava
rice. This crusade for the benefit Of the poor
man is a good one, and we have no doubt, if
followed up by the press will have the most
happy effect of producing change in the right
quarter.
The SANDER suit, which has interested the
minds of the community to considerable de-
gree, terminated on Saturday, by verdict in
favor of the plaintiff, Fowles u.s., deft, Bow
