NUMBERING THE HousEs-Sickles, of the
Times has hardly been West long enough to
get his Chicago ideas sunk. lie proposes
now, to number the houses on the principal
streets! Why, my good fellow, they'd have
to be changed, like - garment, once a
week. II not, they would soon be like the
street numbers Of towns in some parts of
England, that our Foreign Correspondent
wrote about,-where they ran somewhat
thus-"27," "14O," "3,"-etc., etc. If the
intention, as Hospitality set forth by the Lo-
Cal, is to enable strangers to find their way
way about, Or to any particular locality, it
would utterly fail,-it would be confusion
worse confounded to him. He would never
find his way anywhere, except by feeling a
policeman,-or end his fruitless wanderings
in the watch house, having got tight from
mere desperation. 'Twon't do!

Gers of our city made decent on house Of
bad character, OH Jackson street, and ares
ted two men, one known as Baltimore

of their having been concerned in the rob-
berry of the Hudson City Bank. The Cir
cumstances were suspicious, and as for the
character of the men, and the reputation OF
the place in which they were found, every
thing would seem to justify Suspicion that
one or both were guilty of the crime. Ihey
were at once conveyed to jail. But mere
was dilemma. We have no Governor-not
even that iunctionary's acting representa-
ton, on whom requisition could be made.
The officers from Hudson, however, promis-
ed SNYDER baltimore BlD fair trial, coun-
sci, &C.. if he would accompany them over
without the formality of rcquisition, &c.-

The matters connected with the arrest,
the bringing of the carpet bag here, &c, have
been widely discussed by the public already.
We await the further development that
will be made, without expression of an opin-
ion on any Of the proceedings had in the
