A word to the wise is euflicient The Foreign News—Tne U Hungary—Mock Phitar Sympathy with the Hangartans, ‘The interest in the grand drama now enacted, ff which Hungary is the theatre, and the whole civilized world anxious spectators, becomes more and more intense. Ina few weeks warlike ope- rations on both sides must be suspended for the winter, if the final fate of either host be not settled before the season of rains and inundations com- mences, and puts a temporary stop to the work of slaughter. Our latest advices, brought by the Washington, of which a summary was given In our journal yesterday morning, and the full de- tus in the evening edition and the issue of to- , exhibit to us the Hungarians in the same at- titude of indomitable resistance to the combined tyrannies which seek their destruction. Victory still follows them into almost every field. Itseems that they have met witha few reverses, counter- balanced, however, by some favorable circam- stances, and though serious, not such as to excite greatalarm. The next news, now due, will give 8 later aceounte, which will be looked for with ‘trembling anxiety and hope. This Hungarian struggle has awakened almosy unparalleled interest in this country. The sympa- thy of our people for Hungary has been expressed in the fullest and purest manner. Nothing shows | the absorbing interest felt in the struggle more | elearly than the desperate efforts of demagogues of ail kinds to make capital out of it. Thus, in | the socialist organ, the Tribune, of yesterday, we | find a very characteristic article, calling upon the people of the United States to raise a great and * patriotic fund” of a million of dollars for the relief of Hungary.” The socialist editor, Massa Greeley, aflects to ridicule the expressions of sympathy | which have been manifested at the public meetings in our cities, and is very clamorous for more sub- | stantial aid. Well, it is not to be denied that | windy addresses, emanating from uninfluential gources, and frothy speeches, delivered by old broken-down party hacks, or aspiring youths frech from some debating club in University Place or the Bowery, are not exactly the best means thag | eould be adopted here to aid in the establishment | of the independence of Hungary. But the appeal | of Greeley is marked by the usual hypocrisy and dishonesty of the reckless, wild, unscrupulous, and | knavish influences which he represents. Had it not been for the ampudent interference of this very knot | of socialists—Greeley, Dana, and a few otaers—the \ Hungarian meeting in the Park would have been | avery different affair. But those reckless, scheming, | unprincipled agents of socialiom, seized upon this | movement, as they eeize or attempt to seize upon every popular movement, in order to convert it their own buse uses. In this instance they failed through the superior activity of the d ‘ate poli- ticians of both part who entered the lists with them, apd finally managed to stamp the whole affair | with failure. It is now rather too late in the day for Greeley end his associates to make this appeal to the pockets of the public. Unpleasant reminisceaces surround the collection of the “Irish grand pa- tuictic fund,” which eet on foot by the same re- | apectable influences. housu and thoueands of | dollars were extracted from the pockets of the in- | dastrious Irish, by artful appeals to national feel ing, and many Americans, also, generously con- | tributed; while the leaders made a tremendous | show of munificent subscriptions, which, it is alleged, were never paid, ot if paid, have been long deners—by no means an un+ since refunded to “planes” and form. Thi city government is sewerage. | they are attained. hich bestows a dollar or a loaf of bread. There is one way—broad, open, palpable, manly —in which the United States can, at this moment, render to Hungary more efficient aid than can be estimated in dollars. Need we say that we allude tothe immediate recognition of Hungarian inde- pendence by the cabinet at Washington? The people of the United States have fully declared their opinions and their wishes on this sub- ject. With one voice, the American republic has demanded the recognition of Hungarian in- dependence. In the name of freedom and the human race, why is the fulfilment of the expec- tations of our people thus delayed? It is all idle to talk of the law of nations as interposing ob- stacles to this action on the part of our govern- ment. The nationality of Hungary has not been destroyed. Her name has not been obliterated from the roll of the independent powers of the earth. She is now battling for the preservation of her freedom—not to establish for the first time, a name for herself, as an independent nation. Nu- merous examples in the diplomatic history of re- cent times, furnish precedents for our recognition of the present Hungarian government. That of Texas is a fresh and memorable instance. We again call upon the cabinet at Washington to do their duty. Let a minister be sent from this government to Hungary at once. relations be instantly established between the two countries. They are one in feeling—in sympathy— in opinion. rob the Hungarians of that which would, at this moment, exercise the most prodigious influence for god, not only upon their cause, but the cause of human liberty throughout the world. This 1s the only practical way in which to give aid to Hun- gary. Let diplomatic Let no weak, vacillating, timid policy, ‘Grand patriotic funds” are mere moon- shine. It is the right hand of America grasped in her’s for weal or woe that Hungary needs, and which she would have had ere now, were the cabinet at Washington faithful to the President and the people. Tue, Sewerage or New Yorx.—The most im- portant subject that can occupy the thoughts of our It is a most deeply eresting subject to every inhabitant of a large city, for it involves comfort, health, life, the fate of offspring. It affects alarge proportion of all thata man holds dear in this world. Yet it is a question te which no serious attention has been paid by our city fathers, and comparatively little by a community too busily engaged in the pursuits of wealth, pleasure, or ambition, to take time to think of the ways and means by which these ob Jects can be enjoyed to the best advantage, after Without health there can be no true enjoyment; with it, the most homely fare be- comes a source of fruition—almost every thing, in fact, is made to minister to the gratification of a “healthy mind ina healthy body.” It is impossible, with the present state of the sewerage in this city, that goed health can be en, joyed by the majority of the people. We speak from unquestionable data, when we say that the ordinary mortality of this city is double what it ought to be. There is not on this continent—there is not, per- haps, on the face of the globe, a city to which nature has given a_ situation #0 favorably adapted to health—so beautifully formed for drainage. The high ridge on which Broadway | is built, runs through the centre of the island; from this there is a natural descent to the two rivers that wash the island, and are ready | every tide to act the part of great scaven- gers, to bear away the filth to the purifying, incor- Tuptible ocean. The climate is the best in America. | | It is more temperate, cooler in summer than more northern latitudes, and warmer in winter than more southern. Its insular position modifies alike the extremes of heat and cold. Yet, what is the yearly mortality? One would think it ought not to be so grentas that of London with its two mil. lion of inhabitants and’ its crowded streets, and Westminster lying below the level of high water, though, fortunately, not under the level of low water. In London, the mortality 1s only 1 in every 40 of the population annually; when its sewerage was inthe same state as that of New York, and its population about the same, 1 in every 23 of the population died. Last year the deaths in New York amounted to 15,919, or within 81 of 16,000. Allowing the population to be 450,000, (and that we believe is the highest computation) the deaths were lin qvery 28 of the population. Taking the population at 490,000, which is the generally received estimate, the deaths would b® exactly 1 in every 25 of the population. The mortality will turn out to be still greater at the end of the present year, even independently of deaths by cholera, for it has been steadily in- creasing since 1835. In that year the population was 270,000, and the deaths were less than 1 in every 40. and the deaths were 1 in 39. In 1845, the popula- tion 371,223, and the deaths were 1 to 37. Last year, taking the population even at 440,000, the deaths were 1 to 27. The mortality, therefore, 1s increasing fearfully with the population, because filth is necessarily increased ; and our municipal authorities have not kept pace in their sanitary measures with the rapid strides of population. Rather, indeed, they have totally neglected the | health of the city till the recent cholera panic scared them into some crude and ill digested rehemes of reform, so partially executed and car- ried out, ast? have become a mockery, a delu. sion, and a farce. It is true, that sewers are now being constructed ina great number of streets, as the public know to their great inconvenience. But the question is, to what purpese 1? Is at to minister to the interests of individuals, or to promote the public good? Are those sewers erected in compliance with the wiehes of cliques and the aldermen of the words where they are constructed, or are they built upon ecientifie principles, and as parts of a com- prehensive systema that will thoroughly draia the city. Sewers may be constructed, that so far from bemg of any wee it were better they had never been made. They may do harm, instead of eommon trick, this, by the way, ia the great chan 8 vie * good, if the proper levels are not taken—if they +s ~ ntbrog . ud republican movements it are of improper dimennone, without connexion, 16 day and generation oes AP teaeenren Hot no!

These chaps are always proporing eomething grand—something sublime. Their philanthropy and patriotism are always ona tremendously large scale. Thus, when ti mnove- ment wae in ite very infoncy, which rewalted in the munificent donation of bread and clothing | which the United States sent to etarving aod shiv- ing Ireland, Greeley, as we were informed on re- thority, when applied to for aid, turned | | Mable ep bis nose at the suggestion of such a paltry sebeme, and remarked, with all the gravity in the | | world—" On! what the Irish need is—social re- | form!’ So it is with philanthropists of this etamp. Paey are always extremely liberal with great to the deadly gases of these draima, in sending them down the manholes, with which we observe _ they are providing all the new sewers, and by ex- posing at the same time the lives of the people who live around, to eay nothing of the intolerable stench while those foul apertares remain open. Then there is no attempt made to conneet the trunk lines with the sewers and pipes of water closets, cesspools, factories, slaughter houses, aud other depositories of filth. It bas been found, that ia Leadon two millions of pounds sterling, or ten millions of dollare, were ex- pended on drainage, either useless or positively injurious. The money might as weil been thrown into the Thames. Hence, since the sanitary commissioners were appointed, nu- | meroue sewers have been ordered to be stop ped; and, we have no doubt, that when this | question comes to be properly understood here, many of the sewers that are now costing #0 much will be condemned as ee mach money and labor et.

The carrying of the sanitary act in the British Parlhament, was one of the greatest legislative achievements in England, during the present cen- tury. The corporation of London, the wealthiest, most powerful, and most corrupt in the world, had always been able to defeat every measure intro- duced that proposed to take the power out of their hands. This time, however, they were dee tined to fail, but not till after a desperate contest. The most overwhelming evidence was produced, of mismunagement, squandering of money, and unscientific, worthless drainage. It was proved that diseases followed in the train of filth, and that the deaths in the ill-drained localities were out of all proportion. Provision merchants and butchers gave testimony to show that meats became tainted and decomposed, in the districts where sewerage wasill-constructed or wanting, far more rapidly than in the other parts of the eity. Thus the members of the legislature themselves became roused to a sense of the danger of their own health, and they passed the measure. It embraces, not only London, but every city in England. Ifthe majority of the in- habitants ef any eity desire to have sanitary re- form carried out, they meet, and make application to the commissioners in London, who immediately send down inepectors of drainage, who thoroughly survey the city, take its levels, and report upon the condition of its sewerage to the commis- missioners. The latter, after examining these reports, give orders accordingly. The drainage is executed upon the most comprehensive, complete, and economical principles, without regard to the convenience or interests of individuals. The money to defray the expense 18 advanced by the commissioners, and a tax is laid upon the city so improved to refund, the outlay by annual instal- mente. The first thing the commissioners did in London was to take what is called a contour survey of the metropolis, and they constructed an underground map, on which was marked every | main eewer, and every tributary, with the levels and falls, both of these and the superficial ground. Thus they proved that some sewers were useless, some pernicious, while in streets where they were most wanting there were no sewers at all. They began at the beginning, and they are proceeding so satisfactorily in their labours, that it is expected London will be as healthy before long as any rural district of the country. Imperfect as its drainage was, and unfavorable as was the nature of much of the ground for sewers, there is no comparison between it even then and the present state of New York. We expect to see no radical reform accom- plished in this respect till we see a map of New York underground, drawn by men who know their business. If London were kept in the same state of filth as this city, the mortality would be awfal. The soil is a stiff’ blue clay, which retains all the moisture on its surface ; and if it were not car- ried into the Thames, woe to the inhabitants. The soil of New York, on the contrary, is generally speaking, sandy and porous, and there- fore absorbs the moisture; to this circumstance are thousands indebted for their lives, which otherwise would be sacrificed by the incompe- , tence, ignorance, and sellishnesss of those who have so long enjoyed the * loaves and fishes” of office in our city government.
