RENTS IN NEW YORK.


From the New York Evening Post.l
Cne OF that numerous class Of persons whc

US why there are SO many houses for sale aud
80 few to rent. The most plausible 1neors
would be that the oWnera Of real estate, fore
seeing possible. depreciation, have shreWd'
ly determined to take advantage Of the pres"
ent imitation, md obta1n prices for tAels
property which may not be had year hence.
The startling increase ofrent, announced by
most landlords for the coming season. creates
no small perturbation in many households.
William B. Astor, II ls said, has age.asa .; 70

to be about the proportion observed by othe,

May; but, present Indications would point to
ut least come reductions, and persons who
are house-hunting should not be at al prccl-
pitate In closing with the often eXofbitaut
terms demanded BY landlords, Who; just now
seem to be positively rabid on the subject, Of
rents.. Indeed, their demands are often most
iDsoient; for instance, a house e~oWner i'll one
Of the avenues adTcrtises Ills house: to rent
at 8, 900 per annum, trequesting no .one to

Of favarice to try and deprive us not only Of

small families who Lave hitherto kept house

United States authorities. He said this cap
ture was the work Of towards and villains.
The only authority given for the seizure is
that given by John Parker and he had no
power to gire commissions to Others. There
was no authority given in the letter Of
marauc to Parker to transfer his power to
another, It was piracy, robbery and murder
and isa case within the extradition treaty.

The Court soy they are thus lcnicnt in con:
sidcration Of the Imprisonment and pecnnia-
ry losees already suffered BY aatd Hunt by
reason OF former arrest on foregoing charges,
aleo that they have striyen in vain to find the
accused the proper party upon whom to fix
the responsibility for the enormous frauds
the Government has suffered In water trans
portation. Few adventurcrs, however, have
been less guilty than tho prisoner. We
also find that tho intimacy exist
ing between certain commissioned Off
GERS OF the Quartermaster'e Department, and
contractors and clerks in their service, reeefv-
ing presents from them, Is ofhighly improper
and highly ccnsurable, and that the mode OF
chartering vessels, as shown by record, is ru-
inous to the interests Of the government and
disastrous to the morals Of the country.
The proceedings, finding and sentence are
approved by General Butler and ordered to
be forthwith carried into execution.
