belligerents the Intervention of France will be
decisive, and word from Napoleon may re-
store peace. But what, said Talleyrand, over
threw Napoleon the Firsti "Spain, Russia
and the Pope" Spain may now be thrown out
Of the account; the Pope has ceased among
the European States to be an object of fear and
jealousy, and has become an object Of charity {;
but the Russia Of to-day is not the Russia which
will admit, on any possible terms, Of another
Napoleonio campaign, even half way from
Paris to Moscow. Between England and Russia,
as with the FIRST Napoleon in 1911, the present
Napoleon, we may say. holds the Continent in
his grasp; but between Russia and England

overthrown. Az goes Russia in this European

the street. upon which they apprehend that
steam and cattle trains are to be run, much to
the injury Of their property and to their great
down, mystsriously disappeared . few oven
ings since, whereupon the President Of the
High Bridge Horse Railroad Company comes
out with card, In which he states the said
rails were laid under q contract made with the
company, and with the knowledge and consent
of tho owners Of the property Immediately
opposite to where the same were laid We infer
from this that the citizens must have misappre-
hended the purpose for which the rails were
laid. Remonstrances, however, have been pre-
pared and will be presented to the Common
Council this evening, when 1t 10 probable some
light will be thrown upon what appears now
to be very curious railroad middle.
The New Posr OFnm.-Several me ,tings
Of the national and local committees engaged
upon the duty Of selecting and purchasing
site for the new Post Office in this city have
been held, and the business il In the way OF
being settled in . manner satisfactory TO all
parties and to the public. The site that has been
proposed, namely, the lower end Of the Park,
will, no doubt, be chosen, and more eligible
one could not be selected. The plot Of ground
extends from the narrow point Of the Park
three hundred and seventy-fve feet back on
Broadway, and the same extent on Park row,
and Is three hundred and seventy feet and
two inches across the Park, the entire area
being equal to twenty-six city lots. The esti-
mated value Of the land is one and half mil
lion Of dollars, but it Is offered to
the government for half million. 1t
Is proposed that the government shall
expend million and half on the buildings,
which will include Post Office and accommo-
dalton for the United States courts. The
committees are ct present celebrating upon
the matter Of the reversal of the buildings
after they shall cease to be used by the gov
eminent for the purposes contemplated but
we do not apprehend any difficulty on that
point, as the gentlemen composing the several
committees seem to be animated by a cordial
and unanimous sire to close the bargain at
once. 1t seems to be fair transaction on all
sides. The government obtains the most eligi-
BILE site in the city at one-third its value for
Its postal edifice, and the city obtains magni-
ficent structure, built at government expense,
which will prove both splendid ornament
and monument to the prosperity and rapid
growth and expansion of the metropolis. In
this connection word Of caution to the gov
eminent in making its contracts for the build
ing may not be inappropriate. With the
experience of our own new Court House be-
fore it, the government should make the most
stringent provisions in regard to the tims at
which the building shall be completed, other
wise the present generation may net enjoy the
satisfaction Of seeing II finished. A new Post
Once being absolutely demanded, the sooner
the government gets rid Of the present rat trap
the better.
