Mrs. Dr. Major Mary Walker has recently
been walking the streets of Cincinnati in what
is described rs 4" sem-malc attire" This did
SO excite, stimulate and arouse the ambi-
ton of young woman named Ida Price, that
she made an appearance in complete trousers,
unmitgated vest, and an absolute coat. Where
upon, we grieye to say, stony-heaited
and highly inconsistent policeman, who had
permitted Mrs. Walker to walk without inter-
ference, seized the unfortunate Miss Price. and
carried her to the station house, in which,
Mt the last accounts, she was bowling at the
despotsm of man. We have always told the
ladies emulous of Our raiment, that their great
danger would be from the policemen. And
here is proof of tho proprety Of our good
naturcd warning.

We have seen nothing more refreshing of
late than Mr.. Jay Goulds request that the
Secretary of the Treasury should lend him
eight hundred thousand dollars for the
purposes of the Erie Railroad. The
Secretary did not exactly comply; but
he soon afterward furnished Mr.. Gould's
ring even more than they asked for. He gave
them four milliOns-to be taken at such prices
as the Gold gamblers could keep up. 1t has
not been reported that Mr. Gould is satisfied.
Probably he thinks there was too much of
a good thing and under all the circumstances
would rather not have had penny above the
exact eight hundred thousand. Mr.. Gould may
want still to borrow Gold; but no living NOR
tai will hereafter suspect HIM of standing in
need Of Brass.

We publish this morning an interesting letter
from our special correspondent accompanying
Gen. Jordan's Cuban expedition. Although
written several weeks ago, the inevitable diff
cultes of communication between the interior
and the sea-cOast have delayed its transmission
until the present time, as we are now informed,
they have also oecasioned the loss of a number
OF previous dispatches to THE TRIBUNE. Our
correspondent presents graphic picture of the
early adventures and vicissitudes of Gen. Jor-
dams command, and, while frankly admitting
the defects of organization which at first
threatened to seriously interfere with the sue
cess OF his movement, is able to report, at the

Mr. William Hewitt, in his letter on the
Byron controversy, makes a very extraordinary
misstatement, which has also been made by
other writer's on the subject, and may be worth
correction. He reasons that Lady Byron,
having kept her husbands story from the
world by destroying his Memoirs, forfeited
the right to have her own statement received,
especially as she kept it back until all Byron's
intimate friends and associates were dead. 1t

We shall be glad if the subject OF canal
reform begin to attract serious attention. Inc
Citizens Association of Ncw-Yolk, the
Chamber of Commerce, and the Produce tx
change have taken up the matter and promise
important results. preliminary inspection
of tho whole length of the canals has been
made and ut the joint meetings OF the re-
spcctive committees held week ago, an III
tclcstng report was read showing the true
causes Of the mlsmanagemcut and dilapidation
into which or canals have fallen.
We trust that the different interests
along the line of the canals will send delegates
to the Genera, Convention to be held IN this
city in October, who can bring, together with
their experience, a true devotion to the general
welfare of our State. The falling off in the
trade of onr canal. is alarming; and unless re-
form is introduced whereby canal forwardcrs
can compete with the railroads, the canals will
be valuclcss to all save the swarms OF Office
holders who extract thcrefrom their honey
Our canals are sufficiently capacious. what
we want is more speed and less toll Oar
whole canal trade is tagging, and through our
supincness the products Of the Great West, in
stead of using the canals Of this State. are reach
ing the ocean through other channels.

Summer has gone out with clustering OF
winds and pcitng of pitiless rain, and in an
hour we have passed from the season OF Au-
gust showers to the cool, bracing, invigorating
airs of early Autumn. Yesterday was day
of rare beauty, when the streets were filled
with bri sht, ruddy faces and gay costume s.
and Broadway and the fashionable avenues
presented the hustle ana brillancy which are
never seen to such advantage in New-Iork as
at this particular season. Pretty faces have
not yet lost the bloom of the country; bright
ewes have not yet been dmmed by a Winter
of els-light and hot bathrooms; youth keeps
its active step and elastic gait; and the cool,
sunny DAYS call ont the butterflies of fash
ION in such swarms that their fayorlto
haunts arc filed with a ceaseless simmer OF
silks and futter Of ribbons. To rustic life
such days are suggestive of the last labors of
the harvest, the stripping of orchards, and
merry nuttng parties; and perhaps here and
there, IN ont of the way hamlets where the
good customs Of our grandfathers are not
wholly forgotten, the young people are be-
CHING to think OF the cOrn-huskings and par
ug-bces, whereby it is the shrewd habit to
disguise labor and make believe 1t is fun. The
mclloUing Autumn this year brings us abund-
ancc, and ought to bring with it grateful
thoughts and good humor.

We fear that the announced object of Earl
ClarendOn's visit to France may not improve
the reputation of his Government with the
home people. He was, if we are rightly told,
to inform Napoleon of an arrangement between
the great powers to check the cOntagion of
revolution in case of the Emperor's death
that is, to doctor France, which, after ALL is the
real patient. AS it is, his Majesty is not dead,
and the epidemic has not broken out.
