Thorens Reviwcx oF THE New York Custom Housz.— ‘We should judge from the answers of'the colored janitor at the door of the Collector’s private office to the many ions to see the Collector, that he has more reve- nue business to attend to than ‘any of his predecessors since that noble edifice was erected. Hundreds of hungry office seekers are turned away each day by the modern Cerebus above mentioned, with ‘ De Collector cannot see any body ‘cept on rebenue business.

The occurrence brought together a iarge crowd of epee tutors but we heard of no accident. There was a strong force of the police of the Lighth ward on the ground to preserve erder.

There is, however, one consolation— the evil carries its own remedy, for we doubt much whether the papers alluded to circulate two miles from the City Hall, at all events, nobody would like to pay foreign po: tage for them. With regard to the two coroners who Lave been thus mercilessly hoaxed, they may thank themvelves for their trouble.
