MATCHING STREETs.-In this city Of cool
breezes and sandy soil, not the least Of the
ills which we are called upon to bear is the
clouds of dust which at times take posses
sion Of the streets. Taking it for granted
that there is a cure for every Ill, we must
certainly, in the absence Of daily showers,
look to the water works IS remedy for this
particular one. During past seasons it has
been customary for merchants and others on
Superior street, to subscribe sufficient sum
to enable q contractor to keep the dust down
by means Of engine hose attached to the hy-
drants, but for all the water thus used, the
contractor has been obliged to pay at high
rates {some $40 per month, we belieYe) and
has, in fact, lost money BY the operation, in
asmuch as many who derive the full benefit
are unwilling TO contribute to the amount to
be raised.
A petition signed by eli the business
houses on Superior street, with few exceP-
tions, is to be presented to the City Council,
praying that the water, for this purpose, be
furnished, free Of charge, and offering 70
hire suitable person to apply it to the
street. The petition seems 70 be one that
should be granted. It is not alone bensft
to those doing business thereabouts, but 70
the public generally, because that street is
the principal highway of the city. The
same privilege might properly be extended
to other streets and would add much to the

ted 50 much attention last summer. Both
gentlemen visited this city during the win.
ter and inspected several of thelake steam

ZoUAvEs.-This evening the much talked
Of entertainment Of the sprsgue zOuaves
takes place at the Academy of Music. Prep
arations have been made upon scale that
will insure complete success, and there is
no doubt that it will be most attractive sf-
fair. The uniform of the Company is prob
ably the most showy and elegant in the
United States, and this, taken in connection
with the dashing tactics adopted, will form
q spectacle well worth seeing. As taci-
clan, Major De Villiers is unrivalIed, as the
success of the Chicago Company will testify,
and probably there is nowhere his superior
as a swOrdsman. The fencing class COM
prises some twenty young gentlemen, who
have acquired much dexterity in the use of
the foils, and their skill will be in requisi-
ton this evening. Let the house be filed,
for the occasion is one worthy of a large au-
dienee.

Under the title Of "The BlannerhAssett
Papsrs," Msssrs. Moore, Wilstach, Keys 4
Co., Of Cincinnati, have just issued, in 3
very neat octave volume, q collection Of
documents which will be read with great
interest by all who are acquainted with
the history of the reasonable scheme
Of Aaron Burr, nearly sixty years ago,
to form a new confsderacy in the South
west. 1t never was, perhaps, rightly
known what we're the precise designs Of
Burr in getting up his expedition, but 50
convinced was our government of their
reasonable character, that the President
caused his arrest, and trial for treason, and
although, he escaped just punishment, the
public belief in his guilt remained unchang-
ed, and the verdict Of history everwill be,
when his name is recorded, that he was q
bold and bad man. This work throws
great deal of light upon what before had
been Obscure, and indicates more clearly
than anything We have before read, the ma
ture of the relations existing between Burr
and Blannerhassett. We cannot better give
an idea of tie scope of the work than by
quoting from its title of which states
that these Papers "smbody the private
journal of Harmon Blannei hassett, and the
hitherto unpublished correspondence OF
Burr, Aston, Comfort, Tyler, Denereaux,
Dayton, Adair, Miro, Emmett, TheOdOsia
Burr Aston, Mrs. Blsnherhassett, and 9TH
ers, their contemporaries developing the
purposes and arms of those engaged in the
attempted Wilkinson and Burr Revolution
embracing also the first account of the
Spanish Association in Kentucky, and
Memoir of Blannerhassett." The author is
VIM. H. Stafford.
John Jameson is the agent for Cuyahoga
county, and will receive subscriptions and
deliver the volume. Price so.

AMERICAN DIPLOMACY m EcRopE.-The situa-
ton Of affairs in the United States has given
birth to vast amount Of American diplomacy
in Europe. England and France will soon be
flooded with diplomats from this country, both
official and amateur. On the part of the rebels
Rost, Yancey and Dudley Mann are to be rein
forced by Mason and Slidell, all armed with Of
fetal authority. In addition to these, T. Butler
King, Lieutenant North and others have gone a.
amateurs, to champion the cause Of the insur-
gents. These men will leave no stone unturned to
induce the European Powers, il not to break the
blockade on some small prctext, at least to recog
Mise the independence Of the Confederate States
On the part of the Union, the regular ministers
commissioned to European courts by our gov
eminent are hard at work to defeat the machi-
nations Of the agents of the revolutionists. To
aid and assist these number of amateurs have
gone out, and are going out including Arch
bishop Hughes, Thurlow Weed and Edward Eve
rett. Some of these gentlemen will combine
their diplomacy with their visit to the Worlds
Fair; others with arrangements for newspaper
enterprises to be started in New York, and with
speculations in firearms and munitions Of war, to
be sold at good profit to the government Dur
ing the winter these diplomats will eongre-
gate in Paris, where most of the rebel Com
missioners may be found. associating with pro-
fessional gamblers, newspaper editors and all
sorts of people. But long before Southern
diplomacy can succeed in achieving anything in
France or England the Gordian knot viii be
cut by the sword Of Mcclellan.

Iron-C1ad Steam Frigatcs for the Royal
Italian Government.


We mentioned tho fact some time since that VIM. r.
Webb, ESQ.,, Of this city, had succeeded in making
contract with the royal Italian government for building
two iron clad steam screw frigates few days since
Mr. Webb returned to this city from Europe and already
wokmen engaged in getting out the timber for the
purpose Of laying the keel for Of the vessels.
The frgatcs to be about 5000 tons each and will b
2S5 feet all in length, 81 feet extreme breadths
and "a feet Deep The bulls are 70 BIO built Of Tho
best white oak and will be Of great strength the
extra weight Of iron plating upon each vessel and the
consequent additional strain upon them in seaway,
quros they should be constructed OF the most durA
bio and strongest materials The plating is to be q
hammered or rolled iron, AZ inches thick and V -
cover tho entire broadsdes extending several feet below
low water line The weight Of the plates on each vesat
will be about l 900 tons.
All tho modern improvements in DayA architecture
viii be introduced these frgases The interior decora-
lions will be neat and At the time substantial.
Tho armament each vesss! will consist Of forty gaue
OF the heaviest cabre, and Is 70 be furnished BY ths
Italian foundres The engines are TO DO OF great powers
az ia the intention make these vessels fully equal in
speed TO any other frgates afoat A
Mr. Wobb has contracted to have Of the frigatAn
completed In little years and tho other 10 two
years andsx months bit shall not be surprised -
SEQ them both finished much before the time his contract
calls for.
Our iron manufacturers viii now have N opportunity
OF exhibiting their skill ia new class OF work, a.
these iron clad fsigases are the FIRST Of the kind
bull. ~hcrs Mr.. Webb has boon untring in his Efforts
to obtain this contract, aud has visited Turin ssver
times with that object in Wow; his FIRST vists
and proposal to that government made two years
since bu. be with very strong opposition, brought
about by English influence, which well nigh proved fatal
to his purpose Mr.. Webb succeeded only through the
Independence and clear Judgment Of ths late Count
Cavonr with whom he made the contract before tho
pagers were signed the Count bssathsd his last Ths
ssutra vas then brought before the Italian Parliament
vhc Air webks English rivals strained every 70

TEE SLAVE TRADE CAsE-CoNvIcTToN OF CAP
TAIN GoRDoN.-Although great vigilance has
been exercised for long time past in arresting
the slave trade and capturing slavers, we believe
the frst instance in which q capital conviction
has been obtained in the case Of Captain Gordon,
Of the ship Erie, which has just terminated in
the United States Circuit Court. The difficulties
which have surrounded cases Of this kind, more
especially in the matter Of procuring evidence,
have heretofore rendered convictions almost ina
possible but in the case Of Captain Gordon the
links Of testimony were so unbroken as to afford
the jury no opportunity for doubt or hesitancy.
We give the charge Of Judge Nelson in another
columns. The charge against the prisoner was
piracy, and the penalty is death. Whether the
extreme rigor of the law be carried out OF not
the conviction of Captain Gordon will have q
wholesome effect in checking the unnatural sys
tenn Of slave traffic
