STREET CLEASrso.-The City Inspector Is far from
being satisfied with the in which the street.
cleaning contract was carried out in the month of May
The maps made out weekly for Mr. Desvan chow that
during that month the contractors work was very
much neglected. This is particularly tie case in the
Eleventh, Seventeenth, and Nineteenth Wards. The
City Inspector has therefore very properly refused in
toto to make any requision either qualified or
" unqualified" on the Controller for payments for that
month. Since the LIST Of June, various notices have
been served NJ Haekley that if the contract were
not lived up to, he could expect approval of pay
menls.
II appears that the contractor thinks this action
mears something and has gone to work in earnest.
II il had been for the continued rains he would
doubles have fulfilled the contract for the last two
weeks ending to-day. Yesterday the Street Inspectors
reported the following force at work in the morning:
$50 men, o79 dirt Carts lj3 ash carts. Mr.. Delavans
lat notice the effect that if by the returns of the
Street inspectors every street in the city il thoroughly
cleaned, an approval of the work shall be giveni
Otherwise not The returns made next Monday morn
ing will decide the According to the act Of the
Legislature the contractor draw money from the
Controller until the manner in which the work is done

All that is required to render it perfect perfection
IS the modification of our general banking law to
harmonze with the old chartered banks
The Stock market is improving. We note since
our last several offers, but none were accepted.
Fifty-iVe shares Louisiana State Bank were sold
yesterday at l57. The directors of this bank have
declared dividend, or will, of get, payable on

The Exchange market has been toleraby active

part, but receded yesterday, and o,day the move
ments were altogether in favor of buyers and re-
mitters. Checks on New York over the counter
have ruled steady at ! discount the entire week.

The movements in cotton for the week have been
large, and as large as they have bsen, they wonld
have been to greater extent had the facilities for
shipping been free as last year. The sales for
the commercial week reach 30 900 bales against
5000 bales for the same week last year. and only
20 700 bales for the week ending the 5th February
1859. The receipts this week reach $4,000 bales
against $4,000 bales for the same week last year.
The receipts at Mobile for the week ending yes

bally learn, the weeks accounts not having been

by these steamers are not very encouraging The

NEz PERcEs MINEs-We learn through
private sources, that on the Gath Of last
month, they were having cold weather in
the Walla Walla country, and indeed the
whole month had been cold.
Snow was eight inches deep all over the
valley, and from three to eight feet deep
in the Blue Mountains. Merry combina-
tions Of girls, sleigh rides and beaux were
formed in the pleasantest style.
The reports from the 'Nez Perces mines
we're good. They were making from five
to ten dollars per day, although working
under many disadvantages. A number oI
parties are ready to start from Wall Wall0
as soon as the weather moderates. Great
excitement prevails
We are personally acquainted with the
person who has communicated these reports
from Walla Walla. He ought to have ex
cellent opportunity for getting reliable news
from the mines, and without doubt writes
as he believes.

Correspondence relative 70 Collecting Taxes
On San Juan Island.

The annexed correspondence settles q
question that has been in dispute for the
last eight years. The Sheriff Of Whatcom
county addresses Gov. McGill, requesting
his opinion as to the right Of Whatcom
county to collect taxes upon the disputed
island Of San Juan. 1t was decided by the
Governor that Washington Territory can
collect taxes from neither British nor
American subjects upon San Juan.
This decision is sustained by the Secre-
tary Of State. We publish the whole cor
respondence, as Il determines the civil status
Of the disputed territory in reference to the
collection Of taxes
WHGrcoN, W. T., Nov. 2, 1850.
To AcrIxo Gov. MoGHL, Olympia, W. T;
SIR-I have the honor herewith to ash
your opinion in regard 10 the collection o.
taxes on the Island Of San Juan; Wheth
er, in your opinion, can lawfully seize and
sell property 10 satisfy delinquent taxes
both Of British and American residents
alike2 Taxes have been heretofore collect
ed on the property Of the Hudsou's Bay
Company, and / wish TO know il It can be
done this year. The American residents
are not willing to pay unless the Hudson's
Bay Company's property be also made to
pay. Information on the foregoing will
facilitate me 10 the discharge Of my duties
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
WM. j. KELLY,
Sheriff Whatcom County.
