the championship Of England, Peoria or Tim

communication from an American mariner of
shoulder hitting turn of mind, which (the com
munication) we print in another column. Next
to the question as to what is to become of the
Pope, the fight which is to take place between
Heensn, Benicia's stalworth boy, and Sayers, the
pride and pet Of every true Briton, is the most
important topic before the civilized world-so
important, SO comprehensive, 80 searching,
that it has even penetrated a. far az an obscure
Brazilian seaport, where "sharp American
schooner" lis there harbor anywhere on the
face of the earth into which the American
schooner has not thrust her nose y is "dis-
charging Yankee notions" Whereupon q sea-
man, doubtless of that school raised by
Decatur and Perry and Hull, offers to
fight Heenan and Sayers both together.
or alternately, or in any other style
which may be found agreeable and comforta-
BILE to all parties. No propositions could be
more liberal than those suggested by our cor
respondent, and his views as to the details of
the tournament are much more comprehensive
than the narrow and restricted regulations of
the ring. We see only one objection to his
plan. He might find Sayers, as Sidney Smith
said to the missionary about the South Sea
islanders 90 little tough but we presume that
the idea of eating the English champion springs
from pardonable anxiety on the part of our
correspondent to show that he is quite au fat
to all the refined entertainments with which
the governing classes" occupy their hours of
ease. Weagain direct especial attention to the
communication of our nautical friend There
is degree of refreshing novelty about it which
is quite welcome after the old fashioned cards,
letters rejoinders, &C., &c. and we recommend
it as specimen of style to the entire sporting
world.

RENTS AND REAL EsTATE.-There is yery
little change, either in the way of increase or
decrease, in rents throughout the city, this year
from last year. Both rents and the value of
real estate appear to be pretty nearly stationary
on an average. The Central Park has ex-
ercised, perhaps, some influence in advancing
real estate in that vicinity; but its value has
been exaggerated. From the Park down to
Union square, however, property is rather de-
Ginning; and so it is, also, from Canal street
downwards to Bowling Green; but between
Canal street and Union square it is rising a
little in value.
Itseems very evident that as long as the DO.
litical questions affecting the relations between
the North and the South remain unsettled
people will feel an unwillingness to embark in
any enterprises in real estate. The stability NJ
things must be better established. before vi
tality can be renewed in this kind of specula-
ton. The present relations between the two
sections Of the country, and the uncertainty as
to the futurS, in the event of the success of the
abolition republican party in carrying out
their designs against the interests and rights of
the South, offer no encouragement for the in
vestment of capital in real property (which
may and must be seriously deprecated
should they accomplish their purposes Thus
we see that this interest, like so many others,
is suffering grievously from the mischievous
seitation of political demagogues. Ifthey per-
severe in their present course, general revul-
sion must occur, and every interest in the
country mpsthe broken down.

The SPANISH WAg IN AFRIcA.--From the
tenor Of the news from Africa, rather than the
statement of the fact itself, we learn that the
Spanish forces have captured the Moorish town
Of Tetuan, and that there is probability that
peace propositions between Spain and Morocco
will now be entertained. We consider this re-
suit very probable, for it is evident tn the
Spanish treasury has got quite enough of the
Moorish war, and it is not improbable that
ODonnell has also got enough of the intrigues
at Court against his ministry, while he is fight
ing the Moors on the other side of the Straits.
There are other reasons for bringing about q
peace which will no doubt have due weight in
the matter. Marshal ODonnell has obtained his
title of Duke, and the Spanish nation has got
enough Of the CORY glories of war to satisfy it
for time, and to keep it from an itching for
putting its fingers into the Italian policy Of
Louis Napoleon. The French interest at the
Spanish Court has therefore little reason to
push the war further, and the recent renewal Of
the entente eordiale with England may induce
France to give weight to England's representa-
tons against it. Moreover, it is an admirable
time to exhibit magnanimous spirit, and come
out Of the fight with honor; and such an occa-
sion may not present itself very soon again,
with the poor materials Spain possesses for
her troops into the interior Of
Morocco

CLEAN STREETS, A FINE PARK AND PLENTY OF
FRESH WATER-These three great essentials to
the health of any large city are quite available,
under properly administered government, to
the citizens Of New York. In the Central Park
with its skating ponds, fine drives, walks, plea
sure grounds and romantic scenery, we have
secured one of these desiderata. In the intro
duction Of the Croton, which flows like river
of pure water through every street in the me-
tropolis, we have been blessed with another.
But in the matter of clean streets we are wo-
fully deficient; and not because our citizens
grudge the amount necessary to keep them in
order, nor even an amount large enough to ad-
init Of a moderate share Of pickings and steal
ings, provided the work was done as it ought
to be. They did not demur at paying thirteen
millions Of dollars for the Croton water, and
six millions for the Central Park. The interest
on the cost Of the Croton, at seven per cent
would amount to over nine hundred thousand
dollars year; and on the cost of the Central
Park it would amount to four hundred and
twenty thousand year-in all, million three
hundred and twenty thousand dollars year.
Surely, when the people cheerfally consent to
pay this much for park and supply of
water, they would not refuse third of that
sum-or s440,ooo-for the luxury of clean
streets, if they could only get them for the
money; and let us add, that for this amount,
honestly expended, the pavement of every
street in the city could be kept like polished
marble every day in the year.

THE REIGN OF TERROR IN THE SoUrH.-One of
the abolition papers of this city published yes.
terday two communications relative to the
treatment Of abolition teachers and preachers
in the South. In one case it is stated that n
preacber-who owns that he sought the over
throw Of slavery, and preached with that Oh.
ject-was compelled to leave Bracken county,
Kentucky; and in the other, it is complained
that Southern gentlemen were taking their sons
away from the school Of man in Kirksyille.
Missouri, who was known to he teacher of
abolition doctrines, and that other hostile de-
monstrations were made against him and his
father, notorious abolitonist These circum
stances are probably quite true. There is no

THE GROCERY BUSINESS OF PoME-
ROY.

THE GROCERY BUSINESS OF POME-
ROY.
IS Twoyears ago but one or two establish
ments in our place were engaged exclu-
sively in this trade, and they were doing
but comparatively small business. From
time to time others embarked in it, and
now it is the only business that is fully
atiue, and prosecuted with the energy
which follows in the wake of competition.
And what is the consequence of this
competition? Prices have declined and
are declining, and still no one thinks of
discontinuing the business; but, in fact, be-
fore another week is past, it is probable
that another establishment will be in
active operation. Some thinkit strange
that so many establishments can thrive,
when formerly but one or two small ones
could be supported. The reason is evi-
dent-"G Competition is the life of trade"
Had not the competition arisen which
now exists, the consequence would have
been that not one dollars worth of Gro
ceries would have been bought where
now there are dhree-or, in other words,
leompetition has-increaeed the demand
three. fold. It is a notorious fact that
where there is no competition trade is
dull This state of things arises by the
inactivity of those engaged in business
being quite natural for them to suppose
'sthey will do all the business there is
any demand for This is true, but ii
must be remembered that as soon as COM
petition arises, prices decline, profits are
smaller, and the dealer must extend his
trade or fail. Every exertion is made
and trade is dram. from other points
aolere no competitii,n erists. &C.,
But it is not our purpose to discuss
competition in this notice, and we will
conclude by referring to the principa
ablishments engaged in the business

giving us authority to do SO: At thu

The confidence inspired by the elevated

sombre clouds which separate Peru and
Ecuador will soon completely disappear
and give place to the brilliant and beau
tiful colors of the rainbow.
