A METEOROLOGICAL BUREAU.-The City Inspec-
tor, we learn, intends to bring before the Com
mon Council at its next regular meeting an ap-
plication for the creation Of Bureau of Meteo-
Biological Observations in connection with the
Sanitary Department Of the city. This bureau
will bave for it's objects the establishment Of
series of thermometrical ranges, tidal stats, rain
guages, and all other matters appertaining to o
collection Of valuable meteorological facts and
statistics. For years past we have been in o
measure dependent upon the records kept by
private individuals for memoranda of this de-
ecription. In sanitary point of view such a
bureau will be of importance as means of in.
shutting comparison between the mortality
schedules of each year. In Paris and London
dications, and the medical academies every
where on the Continent Of Europe use these
daily records in solving the mysteries which en-
velope the causes of disease. With the excep
ton of the occasional photographic examinations
made in our harbor by the United States Coast
Survey, and which seldom find their way into
the public prints, we are without other authori-
ties on tidal matters than the almanac makers.
AS to rain guages, we have none in New York;
and the public for years past have relied for an
accepted knowledge Of the temperature Of the
air upon the records kept in soda water shop
In Wall street.
The only objection we have, in common with
other taxpayers, to this increase of city officials
Is that 1t may cost too much to establish such q
bureau. But if the City Inspector will limit bis
appointments to scientific men, keep politics Out
Ct its organization, make the salaries moderate
and see tnat his assistaats do tner duty, we GER

GROWTH OF THE CrY.-In New York twenty
years ago every promenader resorted to the Bat

the "Philistines," and all the promenadefs go to
the Central Park, which Ia six miles further
north. No fact more strikingly illustrates the
rtmarkably rapid growth Of the metropolis.

CRoroN WATER CoMMUN1oAT1oNs-BRooKL
VERSUS New YoRK.-Before the excitement in
regard to the unpleasant flavor of the Croton
water subsidized we were deluged with commu-
nications in regard to 1t. Sometimes we would
receive dozen in the course Of the day, assign.
ing this, that and the other cause for it, and sug
costing variety Of remedies. In the same way,
when the Atlantic telegraph failed to work last
year, and previously when the attempts to lay
the cable had failed, we had scores Of communi-
cations suggesting the causes and remedies. We
learn one thing, at least, from these communicar
lions, and that is that the public mind Of this
community is always intelligently awake to all
matters Of public concern, and prompt to discuss
them in every possible connection. That is in
itself something to be gratiled at. If it could
only be brought to bear on politics, so as to TO-
sure us respectable and efficient municipal
government it would be so much the better
But we fear that in that line we are beyond re-
deDption.
One Of the latest and most noteworthy sug-
gestions we have received in regard to the Gro
ton water If, that the excitement was pandered
to and kept up by people owning property in
Brooklyn, for the purpose Of inducing some of
our citizens to emigrate to the City of Churches,
which is now able to boast of water supply of
its own. A very ingenious suggestion, indeed,
although it does not attempt to account for the
primary cause Of the excitement. We are afraid
that our Brooklyn friends will have to hold out
some better inducement than their Ridgewood
water to win over many Of our citizens. We
would recommend them rather to persist in their
agitation for city park that will not be much
inferior to the Central one of New York Ridge
wood cannot win the day as against Croton.
Let them now try rivalry in the park line.

ANOTHER POLITICAL SUICIDE.

The recent speech of Vice President Breckenridge
will prove fatal to his prospects for the Presidency
or for the nomination of the Charleston Convention.
Previous 10 that speech his chances second to
no mans in tie Democratic party. NoE, he has no
chance ut all. And for this reason: The South
want man who believes in Slavery as Christians
believe in the New Testament, and who is in favor
of carrying it into all possible Territories, and sup
porting it by all conceivable constructions and enact
uents. But at the 'ame time they understand per-
fecty toe necessity OF Northern votes to elect their
candidate; and they know the con-equent imp TT
