spell, so we were not only weather bound
but spell bound for whole day indoors.
The month Of May did some raining as
most people rcn ember; but June, after
sunny fortnight at the start, concluded to
have splurge that in one day, should
beat all the weather exploits Of May into
the great deep Of water. Last Saturday
will be remembered for some while as the
day of the deluge. All the streams in
the city were swolled to torrents in no
time. In my own street particularly,
the creek was so high our Bridget could
not cross to the corner grocery for the
milk, bread and tea goodies, and we had
to wait, supperlcs', till the stream should
run by, aud what made the matter pecu-
liarly vexatious was we had distinguished
visitors form Boston. The Light In
fantry of that Juvenile city arrived st
our municipal dornicil in the height of
the storm. We marched the company
up Broadway and showed them to Mayor
Tiemann; then we omnibusscd and fer
ried them over to the city nurseries on
Randall's Island, and wetter set of light
infants never received the delicate atten-
tions Of nursery before. These inter-
csting preliminaries over, hosts and
guests passed on to the order of the dav,
which was drill exercise and banner pre-
sentation to the Island boys, infantry
speeches and Juvenile replies, cold
and, for that matter, wet J collation.,
toasts drank in bumpers of rain water,
and good time generally in spite of the
copious moisture. On Saturday night
the company visited Wallack's theatre,
on Sunday DR.. Higbce's ( Episcopal
church on Monday marched, reviewed
called round from regiment to regiment
on our own military, and on Tuesday
wheeled into Decline for Boston amid
the farewclls of enthusiastic New
York.
Speaking of guns reminds me that all
our wars are ended. The Britisher con.
Guided to call off his dogs and apologize;
the Mormon resolved On the valorous
discretion of running away, so we can,
have fight, AMI the hot blood We got ur
over the council fires of our political
clubs will have no help for it but to COO
off without contest.
We have been enforcing, not only tht
right Of visit but the right of search, &
little on our own private account. Mar
shall Rynders, whose "lynx-eycd vigi
lencc" takes but a moderate amount o.
sleep, thought he smelled a big rat, or 6
little "nigger," or at all events some
thing black in the yacht Wandercr,
private pleasure vessel which has beer
rather suspiciously fitting out to take
party Of gentleman all along shore on
bender. The Marshall had her thor
oughly overhauled but finding onl,
hams, pickles, sandwiches, biscuits, bas
kets, bottles, in short all the de'icacios o
coastins trip, but nothing that lookct
like Africa or the slave trade, he let he
90 again with an apology-for all th'
world as England does.
1t is next to impossible to punish GU
criminals--''leastways" 50 as to hurt en-
any. If VIC do, with infinite labor, &c
occasionally one inside of prison walls, h.
turns out to be sufficiently man of sci
encc to break out again. Sailor Dan
our pc, ruifisn who outraged and muir
dered Thcrcsc Spitzlcin last winter an,
who vas snugly settled in Sing Sing 70
ten year term of industry, meditation
and repentance, managed N few weeks
to snugglc into his cell not only cor,
of rope, but cord of wood and iael
screw, with which he raised tic roof on
night and was of in a star-twinkle -

Dor, but he himself is still at large.
Our city court is now engaged on it
third trial of Canccmi, the murderer O
policeman Anderson, aud some startlin,

such as tampering with an importau
witness, offering him $4,000 to leave tn
country, and then, failing in the bribery
smuggling upon the present jury the too
who offered the birbe-a keenness O
practice which Mr.. Blankmann, counse
for the prisoner, sharpened himself ~
enough to attempt. The arrangement
however, was discovered on the frs
hour of the triah the offending juror h "a,
to step out, and the case, by agreemen,
now goes on with eleven jurors Trial
by judge and jury has come to be li.tl
better than trial by Punch and Judy--a
al events it is very much Of farce il
this city. This palladium Of individua
liberty so styled by our fathers, has dc
generated to be the mere shell of equit
which is used as cover "to shove b
Justice No wonder the proceeding
Of some of our courts should make
conscientious lawyer crazy, and less won
