ApprehensOns Of pecunary crash are now so
general that ardent politicians are looking about for
the ways and means of turning them to partisan ac
count. For our own part, we cherish hopes that
these apprehensOns, and the public attention which
las been drawn to the facts on which they are
based will cOnspire to mitigate essentially if not to
avert entirely the disaster which they predict. If
the present season should prove favorable and our
harvest abundant, why may we not hope to ride
out the anticipated financial gale unwrecked if not
absolutely unharmedl Must not the general dis
cussion and expectation of great commercial cri-
sis go far toward ayerting it We certainly hope
So and this hope has induced us so frequently to
recur to the subject. We concede the perennial
supply of fools, who will persist against all re-
monstrances in buying on credit, or with means
which honestly belong to others, corner-lots in en-
bryo cities at thousands Of dollars each, merely be-
cause other fools have done so before them mainly
from seeing those lots pulled as "great chances for
investment by cunning SPECTATORS; but we have
no reason to suppose the proportion of these fools
materially greater or their stupidity much denser
in lc57 than il has been during the twenty years
preceding. Why may we not hope then, that
"forewarned, forearmed, will prove measurably
true in this case and that the reyusion with which
we are threatened will touch us almost as gently as
the Comet whose Onineus advent We have 80
happily passed in quiet and safety
1t may be very well to inveigh against the faulty
of land.speculators, Western in general; but let
us never forget that revulsiOn can touch but
lightly and temporarily those who are and remain
personally out of debt. Every man who owns
Western city lots or tcwn-sites, or arabic tracts
may fail, without producing ansht that rises to

Nothing was done last night to reform the dirty
streets. In the Councilman, Mr.. Ottarson offered
an ordinance with view Of getting it through both
Boards by unanimous consent, 80 that the City In
spector could 90 to work this morning. The Presi-
dent decided, however, that the paper must lie over
and be advertised for two days, and it was so dis
posed Of The Aldermen meet again tonight but
only for special purpose, and will hardly think of
the streets 1t seems useless to try any longer for
the preservation of the health and good name of the
city, The few members of the Common Council
who have worked long and hard to get something
done, who have conceded anything and everything
for the great end of clean streets persstently
overruled by the petty lodges of the Mayors ma
jority, especially in the Board Of Aldermen. 1t is
no wonder that they thoroughly discouraged,
and feel very much inclined 10 let the city go to the
peIditiOn toward which the neglect and the more
fatal attention of reckless political caba are hur
ryiDg it at railroad speed

The proceedings yesterday in and around the
Street Commissioners Office created great deal
of excitement and not a little apprehension OF
serious results. 1t appears that the Mayor is
determined at all hazards to get possession of the
power and patronage of this branch of the Govern
ment. Repealed on Saturday by the frmness OF
Mr.. Conover, he came on Monday in the form of a
creditor, having found man to whom the city
was indebted and induced him to get out an execu-
ton directed against the furniture, books and
papers of the Street Commissioners office. With
the assistance of the Sheriff and strong force Of
policemen acting MS Deputy. Sherifs, the writ was
served. A large crowd of politicians were about
the premises all day, and some excited converse
ton occurred, but no more serious ndulgences
were ventured. In the Office Mr.. Conover held his
position until about o'clock, when he was forci-
bly, elected by Lieut.. Bennett, and the Office was
left in charge of the joint forces of the Mayor and
Sheriff. In another column we give full report
of the proceedings, which for the present We leave
without comment.

Mr.. Buchanan is sadly bothered by the number,
the importantly, the ferocity, of the applicants
now boring him for Diplomatic appointments. In
a moment of thoughtless enthusiasm such as would
rather beft person of tender years though as
he is still bachelor we ought not perhaps to have
mentioned this She allowed to be enunciated two
important rules of action with regard to Offices
filed By Presidential appointment, namely; l. He
would make clean sweep of the mcumbents; and
,. He would select for important posts men of high
character and eminent capacity. One might have
supposed that the latter of these rules would have
frightened off a portion of the hungry swarm which
the former was certain to attract; but il does not
seem TO have had that effect. On the contrary,
there were never so many seekers of Missions as
now, and the precept, "Ask, and ye shall receive;
seek and ye shall find, is doomed to an unpleasant
but inevitable contradiction.
The intensity of this wild rush and scramble inn
pels US to commend to the Presidents notice one
gentleman, whose modesty wilpreclude his receiving
consideration unless his friends and the friends Of
fitness and efficiency in the public service shall be
moved to speak out We allude, Of course, to the
Cheyalier Wikoff, whose name has been suggested
certainly without his own knowledge-for q
Mission. Among the two or three hundred appll-
cants or aspirants, we can think of none who pre-
sents equal claims to consideration. In the first
place, he can speak French-we happen to know
the fact-and French is indispensable to efficient
diplomacy on the Continent though three-fourths of
our diplomats are as ignorant Of it as Turk is
of Choctaw. Then he has had European appren-
ticesbip to, and training for diplomacy, which, we
are confident is not the case with one in twenty of
his rivals. A natural shrewdness and readiness of
repartee, an extensive knowledge Of the world, and
an infinitely superior acquaintance with the history
and peculisrities of the statesmen of the Old World
to any that is possessed by the mass Of our would
be ENJOYS, render his appointment almost matter
of course, if abilities are to be regarded rather than
party service. Add to this that he is an established
fayorite with The Herald, which the President,
in his appointments, is doing his best to
placate and secure, and We do not see how
his appointment is to be resisted. And, though
We have DO intimatiOn that any foreign or
domestic berth would be agreeable TO him, it
seems to us but natural that the Cheyalier would
consent, for the countrys sake, to return to En-
gland and renew those pleasant tete-a.tetes with
Lord and Lady PalmerstOn at BrOadlands which he
has described so graphically, and which he frankly
confesses to enjoying. We look with confidence,
therefore, to see the Cheyaliers appointment to
succeed Mr.. Dallas speedily gazetted in The Union

The Surrogate sat again yesterday in the Burdell
case till 81 o'clock p. IN. Counsel for claimant
disposed of number Of witnesses and good
progress was made. Miss Hester Van Ness, a
dressmaker, testified that Mrs Cunningham ap-
piled to her several times to act as bridesmaid at
her marriage with DR.. Burdell; that the Doctor
was present more than once when the subject was
introduced; and also requested her to be witness
on the expected occasion. Her evidence points
strongly to the fact that such marriage at least
was for some time contemplated both by DR.. Bur-
dell and Mrs. Cunningham. A Mr.. Knowlton also
testified that DR.. Burdell had some conversation
with him in December or January last in regard to
an exchange of real estate, and he then spoke of
his wife in connection with giving deed of certain
property.

Man has natural turn for idolatry. Thi, is un
questionable. There is no stick brittle, there is
no timber SO rotten, that, though it is fit for moth
ing else in the world, it will not serve to make an
idol of Not only sticks and stocks, but stones and
clods have been objects Of the most deyout wor-

with all other kinds efidolatry. NOcreature weak
and mbecie, so destitute alike Of common sense and
common humanity, that he will not answer perfectly
well to make hero Of, and especially military
hero. The truth of these observations is strikingly
eynced by the preparations foot in this city for
giving heroical reception TO that escaped and de-
ported fllibuster, William Walker. Washington
and Jackson may as well step aside. Let Gen.
Scott bide his diminished head. Behold, the con-
quering hero ccmes-obliged, indeed, to evacuate

man Wilson and bis other distinguished hackers in
this city can raise the money, he is TO return

Instead Of being new Napoleon, whether first

Walker, as his whole history proves, is as narrow
in understanding as he is little in body and cruel IN
heart. He is quack, and like other quacAs sup
plies the defect of every quality that he claims to
possess and of everything that he Pretends to be,
by unblusbng inPudence and most arrogant self
conceit. If Walkers word is to be decisive in the
matter, be must certainly be set down as hero;
but on that principle Joe Smith must be set down
as . prophet and Brigham Young as an inspired

any real ground to boast is his luck Lucky dog

The interest which the merchants of New-Y York
naturally feel in the question: "Who is to succeed
Mr.. Barclayl !" in the Consulate for this city, 10.
duces US to notice rumor that a Mr.. Leussdo,
holding some subordinate Consular position ia
Cuba, is to be advanced to the vacant post in this
city.
Without knowing the history of the rumOr, we
shall venture to dsbelieve it, upon the simple
ground that the British Consulate in New-York 10
of far too great importance to English interests, and
too intimately connected with the commercial inter.
course Of the two nations, TO be intrusted TO ono
who, whatever abilities he may have elsewhere
shown, is a stranger to our people-unversed IN
their habits their customs, their temper, and tner
laws.
Time was when the Consular Offices in the glitol
the Government, like the Colonial Goyernorships
in days of old, were lavshed upon personal favor'
ties or bestowed as rewards for party services,
with little regard to the fitness Of the man for the
work allotted him; and if the statement Of Lon
don letter.writer be correct OF the host OF apPh'
cants for Mr.. Barclays place, the opinion would
appear 10 be prevalent that the ancient practice
not extinct.
But even if this be true to some extent in En-
land. and the world over there is marked diaer-
ence between petty Consuates in less frequen'ea
States, and the Consulate at NewYork, that neither
the British Government nor the British people, IN
tent on the protection Of British interests, and the
encouragement of international harmony and co
operation with the growing Empire Of the "e''
are at all likely to overlook.
In regard to the individual nominees fes thS
post, the expression of personal preferences T
