to been money enough in pockets of dis
tillers to buy impunlty of the corporations
and courts of ali this cluster of cities, but
the monster shrinks into the earth in
presence of the light thrown on its crimes
by one single, determined, unpurchasabIe
press. Frank Leslie, for fortnight past,
has been tracking the concern all along
/ s milky way and publishing the street
and number of all the patrons of the
nauseating fluid They were found gen.
orally to be the poorer class of people
! Gust those who could least afford to be
made sick by it, and the lower class of
restaurants and boarding houses who pat
ronlzed it because it was cheap. Letting
in the light, however, is working an i'm
mediate abatement of the nuisance, thus
accomplishing at once and without disor-
der, by individual enterprise, what gov
ernment, backed by all its batteries, is
powerless to secure. 1t has been capt.
tai hit for Leslie, for, in proportion as the
milk no longer went down, his paper went
up; though his artists rnd reporters did
suffer some from milk and brickbats in
sketching the originals and getting up the
designs. 1t was comical to witness pur-
chasers Of the paper pass out Of the news
Offices, reading as they went, with up
turned bose, and mouth at half gag, as if
| they really tasted the disgusting mixture
and smelied the animals and stables which
the pictures delineated and the types de-
scribed.
Some three weeks since Captain Sands
Of the t. s. Steam Frigate Susquehanna
was arrested for disobeying the Health
Officers of this port. Last Saturday Cap

sia, was ARRESTED for obeying the same Off
GERS. His ship had brought a case of
small pox and was placed on quarantine
with strict orders to permit no one to land
on any pretext, a Custom House officer
wanted terribly to get ashore. Cap. Jud-
kins wouldn't let him-Quarantine regu-
lations would permitit Finallay, when
the officer did get ashore, he obtained the
arrest Of the Captain under Z. s. authsr-
! ity, and Mr. Cunard became bail for his

! There IS another rather stiff little sea
breeze brewing in the shape Of mutual in
dignation meetings among shipmasters
and owners who are down on the British
West India Squadron for the outrage of
searching vessels suspected as slavcrs
though sailing under the American flag.
1t one Of these meetings our patriotic
rage took the shape Of the following among
other similar resolutions
Rcs0lccd, That "our flag covers the
cargo" whether that cargo consists of Mig
gers or nothing-and that " freedom FROM
search is an Americans inalienable right
at sea-as much SO as freedom from the
intrusion of foreign police in our domicils
on shore.
Henry William Herbert, extensively
known throughout the United States and
Gract Britain as an author of celebrity,
aud more especially for his works on sport
manship, under the nom de plume of
" Frank Forester" committed suicide on
Monday morning, at the Stevens House,
Broadway, by shooting himself through
the heart with pistol. Though over
fifty years OF age he recently married a

appear that domestic differences led to
commission of the rash act WRATz.
