and short breeds Birds of the long Ureed are
procured from Brussels, Antwery. and Del,z, where
they sumetimes obtain extravagaut prices. Their
cost depends upon the color aud shape, the pure
golden yellow being most esteemed. They are
only used for the purpose Of breeding, and often.
times sell for $50 II pair. The si,ors breed is raised
by the people Of the liartz Mountains. Next to
the Belgium the French bird is most priced. The
cummon urorisInal canary is the lowest 10 the
scale Of value.
The trade in these birds is said to be very ex-
tensiVe, the yearly sales averaging about 5.UOU
pairs, the price Of which saries considerably, the

STABAT MATER.
by W. J. roK.

Jews were wrought to cruel madness,
Christians fed in fear and sadness,
Mary stood the cross beside.
At It's foot her foot she planted.
By the dreadful scene undasnted.
Till the gentle sufferer died.
Poo,s oft have sung her story;
Painters decked her brow with glory
Priests her name have deiied.
But no worship, song, or story.
Touches like that simple story
MARY stood the ciuss beside"
And when under fierce oppression
Goodness suffers like transgressiJn,
Christ again is cruciicd.
But if love be there, true.hearted,
BY no grief or terror parted,
Mary stands the cross beside.

TUX CRASH or THE STATE AHsgSAL.--The
insecure and unsubstan6al manner in which
buildings, both Of public and private charac-
ter, are erected in this city, is question do
serving the immediate attention Of the Legisla-
ture, with view to the enactment of a law that
will efiectually explode system 50 dangerous to
public safety. The fall yesterday morning Of
the new State Arsenal, involving in its ruin three
other buildings, and causing injury to human life,
ought to be strong reason for forcing the matter
on the attention of the authorities. Rapidly in
the erection of buildings may be a valuable des-
deratum in itself; but contractors should not be
suffered to lose sight Of stability and firmness in
their work for the accomplishment Of any other
object whatever. No one can say when house
may fall and bury its occupants beneath its ruins.
Not many years ago there was fall of nearly
whole block Of buildings in Thirty second street,
and, If we remember Alright the lives of several
persons were sacrificed on that occasion; and, not
to multiply instances, there was another wreck
Of buildings not long after, in the vicinity Of
Twenty-third street These periodical tumbli1f
in Of buildings is undoubtedly owing to
reckless manner in which they
originally put up, and the only
to prevent such occurrences for the future
be by the appointment of qualified
whose duty it shall be to inspect all buildi
they are In course of erection, and who
permit no edifce to be reared except upl
most firm and substantial plan. Such
it Is said, is now in the hands of the Fir
dens; but the very accidents themselves
indicate that this body has not given
attention to the subject. The selfsustainiI
of the State Arsenal should have been ms
by some competent public officer while
being put up, instead Of being left entirely
ahead workmen. The opinions of military
tlemen who were on the spot after The fall o.
building were that the accident was entirS
attributable to the defects which existed and
the only matter for graduation is that the
Arsenal was not filled with soldiers when il fell
in. These accidents Improperly so called
must be prevented for the future and we hope
that the Legislature viii deem it worthy of their
earliest attention to take some movement in the

Us trois rsousg'ictqrcs Their malicious sneers and

shadow Of evidence to sustain their assertions.
But Ullman would not let her do anything 80

francs TO do what no Frenchman or any one else
could do what course does Mile. Piccolomni re-

COLLISIONS ON oCR FERRHs-REcxLEss MA
SAGExENT.-We have had occasion repeatedly to
animadvcrt upon the gross carelessness exhibited
in the management Of our ferries 10 Brooklyn,
Jersey, and Staten Island, US an instance Of the
disregard Of human life and the safety Of thou
sands Of people who daily avail themselves Of
this mode Of transit TO and from the city. An
other fragrant case Of this character has Just re-
suited Ia the death Of citizen Of Hampstead,
pilots on the Williamsburg ferry. From the testi-
mony ELECTED On the inquest ii appears that on
Friday last tho ferry boat Niagara was delayed,
by some cause, from getting into her dock at
Peck slip, and at the same time another ferry
boat OF the same line--the Nebraska came
TO which boat should get in first. Both boats
were well freighted with passengers; but, re-
gardless Of the lives entrusted TO them the pilots
got into strife for precedence, and the eonse-
quence was that the Niagara was driven with
great violence against the ship Cultivalor, doing
considerable injury to the latter, and shivering
her own sides and bringing down her flagstaff, by
the fall Of which one passenger was killed. aud
another-a lady much injured.
II IL some satisfaction 10 know that the two
pilots have been held to bail TO answer the charge
Of homicide; but this Is not sufiicicnt-the autho-
rites should take measures to put q stop to the
reckless system so prevalent on all ferries in our
crowded barbor, whereby the lives Of passengers
are In momentary danger.
The fact Is, that between the oarelcsncss Of
pilots and the inefIiciency Of means to rescue par
ties in case Of accident no one Ii safe while
crossing many Of our ferries. The verdict Of the
Jury in this case may be warning to the ferry
employees but thorough reform il absolutely
NEEDED in our ferry system.

FRsSCH JOURNALISM IN NEW YoRK.--In another
column will be found a proposition for the es-
tablishmcnt Of a French newspaper in this city,
more In accordance with the sentiments Of the
Franco-American population than the existing
journals. If French editors would only study
the institutions Of their adopted country more,
and the interests Of foreign dynastics and politi-
cal parties less, they would meet with larger
share Of success than at present, and run less risk
Of being repudiated by those to whose sympa-
thies they address themselves. There never was

Enlistment Of journal conceived In this spirit,

facility Of the descent. Why should not the
renowned Lasalle and Masseras and De Tro-
brand follow in his iIlustrious footstepss Be-
sides, one Of them has another additional chance
of realizing the rural beauties of that insular re-
treat, having been indicted by the Grand Jury
for another offence. Imagine the three hungry
FrenchmeD domiciliated on Blackwell's Island,
deprived Of ear Sucrs, dominOes and cent
segars, and engaged in the delightful occu-
patton Of breaking stones or picking oakum !!
And to this complexion may they come at last,
unless they have sense enough to throw them
selves at the feet of the glorious little Princess
Piccolomini, rccant their falsehoods, acknow-
ledge her high descent, and implore her clemen.
cy. II is not in her nature to harbor resent
ment, especially against such objects Of pity; and
if they show contrition and promise reform, she
may pardon them, on the condition that they shall
expect no more free passes to the Academy, and
shall behave like gentlemen in the future.
In the meantime Ullman has issued another
manifesto against the three hungry Frenchmen--
while one of the trio has sent US a communica-
ton denying the conduct imputed to him. These
documents we publish, as interesting features Of
the war of the Academy, which is SO highly
amusing to the public at large, however disas-
trous II may prove to the personal liberty and
enjoyments of les trois naoastiq1s.

THE CONDITION OF MExrCo-The recent ad-
vices from Mexico render it quite apparent that
the defeat of vidaurri has been an ireparable
blow to the cause Of the constitutional party in
Mexico. The leaders of this party have endea-
vored to keep up the hopes of their partisans by
proclaiming the capture of Guadalajara by Gen.
Degollado, which we have been told Of by every
mail from the republic for the last three weeks;
by reported intention of Gen. Blanco to attack
the capital, which il now seems has fallen
through; and lastly, by the capture Of the little
goodfor-nothing steamer Guerrero, and the
doubtful rumor Of the fall Of Jalapa.
But even admitting that Guadalajara and ia
lapa have fallen into the hands Of the constitu-
tonalists, that proves nothing. The iirst Of
contending parties two or three times during the
present struggle, and sacked some four or six
times As for Jalapa, its possession would be
really point Of weakness in the line Of defence
for Vera Cruz. 1t lies up in the temperate re-
gion, and would have to be occupied, fortified
and defended, while its very location would rem
der it an object Of attack to the troops
Of Pucbla, thus causing q monstrous ex-
penditure of powder and ball. which
cost money, without any corresponding
loss of Indian soldiers, which cost moth
ing at all. The line that has really defended
Vera Cruz for the last six months has been the
isothermal line, manned by the yellow fever.
This is more terrible enemy to the inhabitants
Of the temperate attitudes OF Mexico than oil the
valor Of Ia heroaca Vera Cruz.
Everywhere else the ccntralizipg party seem
to govern, under the name of Zuloaga assisted
by an occasional million thrown in by the clergy
Ii is this occasional million that is really decid
ing for the present the contest in Mexico. Com
merce is everywhere stopped by the civil war
and with it the custom house revenues have dis
appeared. As these constitute the only resources
of the constitutionalists. who hold the ports,
their cause wanes from their poverty, while the
rich church gains strength from the weakness Of
It's enemy As Mr.. Forsyth has returned from
Mexico, and will coon be in Washington, the GO
vernment will receive rom him full expose Of
the condition of affairs in the interior Of the
republic. Inside the priests are still strong !;
and outside, Santa Anna and the Spaniards are
actively at work for them, while British and
French feet are engaged TO protect Spain from
any contingencies that may come up.
