weight, though the Steeyards themselves are per-
fecty accurate Our correspondent states that quito

Though the neutrality laws still remain upon the
statute book, they may be set down as for all prac
teal purposes, completely null and void. During
the past year or so, more than 1900 men have
openly and ostentatiously sailed from the ports Of
New.York New. Orleans and San Francisco to aid
Walker in his fllibuster OperatiOnsin Nicaragua,
the greater part of them trapped into the service by
the most atrocious falsehoOds and misrepresenta-
tions, and immediately upon their arrival subjected
to a worse than Cody servitude, speedily terminal

ment. but merely because the rich capitalists who
supplied the funds fer this operaton-one of whom,
it is stated has sunk So00,0OO in the business
have not deemed it prudent TO invest any more
money in this piratcal and land-steaing operation.
But though Nicaragua has ceased, for the pres
ent at least to furnish attractions the spirit OF ll-
clustering is by no means extinct 1t has only
changed its scene of operations, revertng back to
the Mexican province of Sonora, In an attempt TO
conquer which the bandit Walker hrSt tried his
hand. This province Of Sonora, lying south VI the
ella River. is an arid and desolate country, very
worthless in an agricultural point OF view, as only
few spots here and there can be cultlVated-ior
which purpose irrigation is absolutely necessary
But il is reported TO abound in rich silver mines, and
il is this vague report, resting we believe, on very
slight evidence, which proves the great attraction
to the flhbusters. Under pretense oil colonlzlns

The good people of this city may as well make
I'D their minds to be decimated, in the course OF
the ensuing Summer, if not by yellow fever, which
il not unlikely at least BY National Hotel dysentery
or some other malarious disorder not less dreadful
and malignant. The whole city, with the excep-
ton of Broadway and few other streets which
have been made tolerably decent is Cor VIII be as
soon as the Summer heats come On) one great National
Hotel, as it were, reeking with all sorts Of foul
doors and poisonous exhalatiOns. The time IS
very short within which the frghtful catastrophe,
fatal not merely to health-which the greater part
of our citizens and our city authorities seem to
care nothing abOut-but disastrous also to the bust
ness of the city, can be averted. What shall be
done to avert it, 1t seems perfectly hopeless TO
leave this matter in the hands Of contractors and
official authorities. For anything they are likely
to do, the city may be visited by the plague ten
times over. In the matter of defense against dis
ease, We seem to be placed (under the auspices OF
Mayor Wood and the Tammany Hall Democracy
much in the same predicament that the city stood
in lsl4-under the auspices OF Southern control
of our National affairs, to which Tammany
Hall, TO the sacrifice of her own abest and
most worthy sons, was hardly less devoted
than she is now-in the matter Of defense against
foreign INVASION At that time the State was
threatened with attack both the northern and
western frontier, while great British armament
had assembled at Bermuda of which the City Of
New-YOrk was thought to be the object. The
Southern politicians, who had plunged US into the
war with an empty treasury, an exhausted credit
and plenty of officers such as they were but very
few soldiers, were totally unable to afford the
eost assistance toward saving the commercial CAPT
tai of the country FROM capture and rayage. In
that alarming crisis the Common Council OF the
CITY issued an axhortatOn to the citizens to post
pOne discussions as 70 the origin aud conduct oil the
war and to unite in measures OF defense. Tbs
call was seconded by public meeting addressed D!

The third Report of the Postmaster-General of
Great Britain-for lS56-is of mere than ordinary
interest. The increase of correspondence and rev.
enue is greater than usual and various substantial
improvements introduced into the British postal
system during the last one or two years. are here
commented upon, and their convenience and utility
illustrated and confirmed. The most careless OBJ
server who has never set foot in Great Britain can
not fall in reading this Report, to see that there is
no comparison between our disjointed, heterogene-
Gus mass Of absurd rules and regulations and the
British system. The statistical details of the latter
far surpass in magnitude the operations of our own
Post Office. The following are some of the figures,
for series of years lending with 1855 and 1866,
since the commencement Of the Penny Postage
