It is no won- | der that our City Inspector’s weekly reports of | deaths, strike terrorto the community. Gothrough | the entire length and breadth of the metropolis— | with the exception of a narrow and shallow strip of comparative cleanliness, inhabited by the aristoc- | racy—and your nose is continually assailed with | such offensive and disgusting odors that you feel it unsafe to breathe, and hurry along, taking few and careful inspirations, and involuntarily stopping your nose. Miasm and infection gather in palpable, | horrid-taeting mists, about your very lips. Look | around, and you will seo the fruitful causes of this spread on every side. The gutters, filled with © swill, slop, potatoe parings, and all the refuse of | the kitchen and chamber, are so choked that the i water is dammed, and gathers heaps of mud and | filth at every few steps, to dry and swelter and | reek in the hot sun; sending off poisonous gases | enough every twenty-four hours, to depopulate a courts, alleys, and back yards, the sceno would be | still more revolting, and such a8 can by no means be described. All these things, uniting with the immense quantities of unripe fruit, sick | meat and poisoned milk, consumed in the families of the poorer classes, sufficiently account for the frightful rate of mortality which has recently so } much startled us. And the worst of all this is that it is absolutely | unnecessary. If the authorities of the city—who | are so liberally paid for doing their duty--would in- stitute a thorough investigation into the state of | affairs, and apply energeti: means of remedy and prevention, the city could be purified, and kept clean and wholesome. No spot on the surface of | the earth is better adapted to cleanliness and | health than New York island; the facilities and advantages it possesses have been so frequently de. scribed that we need only to allude to them.

Now, all the Coroner's fees are designated and estab- lished by a statute law of the State; and when rendered | are correctly nade out in conformity with such lew, and sworn to before presented for payment. It is admitted that the fe: ded law are mo | | grester in this eounty th yy other county in this | | Btate; but. im «large city, of course a much greater | | wumber of cares naturally cccur, and thus the fees be- | come larger in amount; besides, the duties of Uoroner in city like New York are of no ordinary mature. He is tubjected alinost daily to perilous danger, in atteuding caes cf contagion of the most malignant description; and were the Governor of the State, or the Mayor New York, awarded the ealary accruing from the Coro- ner’s fer, it is very doubtful if they would undergo cne- baif the danger for double the amount. The conductors ¢f the public prese are probably not aware of. nor do they compzeherd the motiver for, the attacks made on the Coroner in the communication alluded to. and are therefore misled in the matter, believing the writer | ‘ayer, to be governed only for the public I trust, Mr. Réitor, this brief refutation of the false in- sipuatic ne endeavored to be cast on the official capacity of our worthy Coroner, and the interested motives actuat- ing the writer of thecommuniention signed © Tax Pay- er,’ will find a place in your widely ci-culated and im. partial journal.

From the statement in the case, it sppears that Downey was engaged or em- loyed as clerk or agent, in this elty, for the sale of coal Rorwarded to New York by Mr. Fey, which coal had been sold from time to time; but instead of Downey remitting the money® received for euch sales to his employer, he absconded with the same in the early part of July last, and went West with a view of settling mon « farm. As soon as Mr. Fey learned that Downey bad absconded ‘with the money, application was made to Justice Lothrop, who istued a warrant for his arrest, and officer Elder was dispatched West to catch the rupaway, aud succeeded in sodoing on Monday last, after a long chase, in over- buuling the accused. at ane called Southport, State of Wisconsin, On taking accused into custody, and searching his person and luggage. the officer found nearly $5.(00 in money, together with several notes received for of coal.
