The Empe- ror Napoleon ; :otested against any such interpreta- tiop, ave assured Count Orloff that he had only sign- ed the treety in compliance with the wishes of Eag- isnd aud Austria, who desired to have a pledge of his good feeling toward them. Count Orloff replied svith as much vivacity as it was possible for a diplo- matist to exhibit in presence of a reigning monarch, that the treaty of peace of March 30 effectually se- eured tne independence and integrity of the Ottoman empire, that the Emperor Napoieou had, beiore the signing of that treaty, given strong assurances of his desire ‘© cultivate intimate relations with Russia, and that the unexpected step which had been taken wis ealeulated to Sow doubt and distrust in the mind of his Imperial master. oune Orie Prior, to ask treaty of Austria. strred by hi a ee i Sige se NEW YORK HERAL Deputy Governor of the Bank were also in at- tendance. Among the members of the monizd yest were Baron L. Rothschild, Sir A. Rotchs- | Baron Goldsmid, the Lord Mayor and Mr. T. Chaprwn, representing the London and Westmia- ster Bank; Sir J.

The Chancellor of the Exchequer opened the pro- ceedings by stating that Lord Palmerston would not be present (owing, it was understood, to indisposi- tion). With regard to the loan, the conditions were given at length im the original notice, but if further information was required he was prepared to answer ae questions. r. J. Capel called attextion to the circumstance that two of the instalments were payable in June— one on the 28th, a Saturday, which would be a most inconvenient day—and that if this course were eer severed in 50 per cent of the loan would be locked up during the shutting of the bank books. If the 10th of July were fixed for the latter instalment it would be more suitable. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, after a short eenversation with Baron Rothschild aud Mr. Capel, intimated that he could not well change the date, and it was agreed that it should remain as an- nounced. Jn answer to Mr. Capel, the Chancellor further stated that he does not at present contemplate a Durmg this remarkable interview, the Emperor | Nuapoleou U1. preserved that calm and impenctrable | demeanor for which he is remarkable, while Conat Orloff scarcely concealed the cxcitentent aiid sur- | prise which the new situation bad produced in his | mind. | Oor Paris correspon Although ia | h all that is reach govern- 2 h offences.

What makes the conduct of the Belgian Ministry and Chamber in this matter the more creditable is, that the ministry is conservative and Roman Catho- lic, and that, of course, the majority of the Cham- ber that supports them is of the same political aud religions opinions. Were the Belgian mind less deeply tinctured with the noble sentiments of na- tional independence and aversion to foreign influeuce sah an occurrence as the publication of the aad Protocol might well have been laid hold of by a y conservative and Roman Catholic for the pur- of levelling a blow at their political opponents. , they might have said, what comea of your libcraliem. Your doctrines are inconsistent with the very existence, not only of the constitution, but of the country. ‘A great and powerful nation throws her sword into the scale and demands from us the tbe apt of that unbridled license which you, and such as you, have contributed so much to blish. Inatead of adopting this ungenerovs, but not annataral tone, the Catholic and Conservative Ministry of Belgium steps forward in the very manrer, sad with t very feelings which Mr. Macaulay delights so much to attribute to the tories of our own infant constita- tien, who never failed to evince a generous incon- sietency whenever tue independence of the country was threatened by the foreign allies of the very eause ard King to which they were in the habit of drinking and svearing the most unswerving and uncompromising allegiance. While the larger States of Europe are divided into parties deriving their names from their predilections for foreign States, Belgium seems to know no party but a Belgian party, and to recognize no internal diffe- rences when its foreign relations are concerned. We cannot dismisa this subject without once more expressing our strong conviction that never was a more unfortunate time selected fora most injndicious act than the conclusion of a general treaty of peace for an attack on the liberty of the ess on the continent of Europe. We had just Eeasinates aseries of events in which the Empe- rer of the French had shown himself to the world asa faithful ally,a wise and resolute counsel or, & magnanimouss Sovereign, and a man_ who, ased of great power, liad shown a disposi- to use it with singlar equity und moderation. He took up arms for the defence of Haropean Viberttes; he allied himself with two constitutional Powers, and, having fought and conquered, scorned any vulgar material recompense for his services, and was wise and gererous enough to content him- self with the respect and approbation of mankind. unfortunate that at this auspicious moment the ‘over eager zeal of a minister (for such we prefer to consider it) should have shadowed forth tue com- mencement of new troubles just as the old were ceasing, and taught the world to look for a crusade ‘against human liberty in the West as a sequel to the conflict against Russian domination in the East! How unfortunate that we should thus be forced to re- member that the present alliance is magis inter pares similes, and that the union which has braved go many storms unscathed may be at any moment by an attempt to extend over neighborin, Btates that system of pe and coercion whic! ie 80 foreign to our feeliags and habits!

Jeny Lind in Cardiff, Wales. The Silurian contains a notice of a concert given sday 7th May, at Cardiff, 8 net quite so successful as it might have onseqnence of a desire on the part of cer- ulators to make a harvest out of the fame air vocalist. It was originally fixed that the tickets should be attainable at 15s. aud 21s. each. Seon after the first annvuncement appeared, the public were informed that no more 15s. tickets were to be bad, and that tickets to the rezerved seats might be obtained at one of the hotels, at a ‘‘mode- rate” premium, which, on inquiry, turned out to be 2is., or cent. per cent. On Tuesday afternoon, lowever, it was announced that the managers of the concert had arranged somewhere between 20 and 30 additicnal 1eserved seats—the admission tickets for which might be obtuined at one guinea each; but it bad teen previously manifest that the “premium” scheme was a compiete fa'lure, aud, as the hour ap- proached, it was found thet the market had been overstocked. On Wedtesday afternsan,to the great amusement of a large concour:e of spectators, the tickets were put up for sale by auction. As the time was very short, and the tickets numerous, Mr. Abbott, the auctioneer, had a very difficult game to play, in order to prevent their going off at an eno:mous dis- count, and be managed his part of the business with decided professional skill, yet with complete firm- ness. A few fifteen shilling tickets were first sold, and bronght biddings from &s. to 10s. each. The guinea ti-kets for reserved seats started at lis.each, but as one came ont after the other, prices gradu- ally eciepen anc when upwards of thirty had been “knocked down,’ all the eloquence and manage- ment of Mr. Abbott could not raise the biddings above 88. or 78 Gd each. The sale was then closed.

The cold weather continuing arrested the sale of manufactares, which went on so favorably at the latter end of April. The manufacturers, however, have received import- ant orders from abroad, ard the Russian commission agents purchased large quantities of articles of toi- let and fancy goods. Tbe corn market has again experienced numerous variations. The rise how- ever is general. The flour and wheat put up to public auction having found a ready and oe tees sale, speculators set up new pretensions. The price of the first quality of flour, which had fallen last week in Paris from %2f. to 85f. per sack of 157 kilogrammes, had again risen to 90f. and even 92f. The stcck remaining at the Halle on oo had decreased to 20,400 metrical quintals, The coldand rain induced many farmers to keep their grain in- stead of sending it to market. Nevertheless, it does not appear that the growing crops have suffered ma- terially from the cold, and a few days’ heat would remove all apprehensions. The wants of Lower Lan- guedoc and of the country watered by the Rhone imparted consideravle activity to the corn trade at Merseilles, and during the week there was a slight, but progressive advance in rates. The price of cat- tle was very firm at the iast markets of Poissy and Sceaux, and the supply was pretty fair. The frost with which certain localities of the east and south- east of France were visited on the nights of the 5th and 6th insts. has done much injury to the vines. In the Nievre they have irretrievably suffered. In the neyghborhood of Grenoble the vines as well as the mniberry and the walnut trees, and even the crops in the ground, which presented the most lux- uriant appearance, were seriously damaged. The results were also disastrous in many of the vine dis- tricts of Heraalt and Var. In Franche Comte the Joga sustained was cansidered irreparable on many points, and in Burgundy this late frost proved fatal to most of the younger vines. The fall in the price of wine has been of course checked at Bercy and in the southern markets. Brandy remaias stationary, but its sale has become easier. Bel, e On Thursday evening, tae Sth inst., althongh the weather was wet, a boay of about 1,200 persons walked in proemsion to the hotel of the Be'gian Minister of Foreiza Affaire, and left there an eccress thanking Count Vilsin XIV, for the noble which he had employed tn the famous discussion relative to the Belgian press. The demcnstration was got ap by the Nation of Bransels, the prineipal ecitcrs of the Brussels papers ‘were present. One correspondent, in revording this eveot, remarks tha’ the lesson of Count Walewski will, nevertheless, not be loet: ‘it will have for effsct to fores the bad prevs within the ‘iuits of s more deoo- corons discussion, and e+nectally less outrageous to the Emperer of the French.” This opinion seems to be Iike- Jy; and we ree that the Belgian Minister of the Interior has stated, in reply to a suestion in the Chausber of Deputies, that » prosecution has beena'ready commenced egainst the Nalion for an artisle containing an attack upon the Duchess of Brabant, acd the announcement was received by the Chamber with loud marks of approbstion. he Dashess of Brabant, wife of tho ive to the thr of Belginm, is @ ir of the House oi Hapr' fn the incriminated article asrerts that she Duchers i+ the most active io- stroment of the Austrian preasuré on the Belgian go- vernment, and that ‘this infamous government o!

Emphatically the Reign of Verroris here. No man is safe and no woman either. Leading men ani those who have got valu- able claims are especially proscribed. Yesterday eleven free State men unarmed were quietly at work, in Benicia, four miles from Law rence. One of them was Mr Hancock, formerly of Cambridge, and another Mr. Shimmons, late of Worcester. They were surrounded by a party of | twenty-five border ruffians, armed to the teeth, were | taken prisone:s and detained for more than hour, during which they were obliged to submit to much threatering language. They were told that if they | were ever caught there ei they should be “strung up.” They also said they were going into Lawrence ‘‘to wipe out the d—d abolition city, | and either kill or drive out every free State man,’ | They finally released them all except Mr. 8him- |mons, who made some courageous retort to a threat of theirs. A portion of this rufflanly baud had previously gone into the house of Mr. Shimmons, during his absence, to steal his arms. His brave wife seized a pistol and presenting it to the breast of ove of these officers, was about to fire when another of the cowards who stood behind her, grasped her arm and defeated her laudable purpose. This is only one instance of the many outrages to which the people are subjected. It is bo exaggeration to say that such like acts of oppres- sion are occurring every day. Yet Shannon, the of- Be ef Frank Pierce, refuses to listen to our prayer for help. ; The pprocelavisy, forces are collecting at Lecomp- ton. ey a.ready number one thousand men and additions are mede every day. This fact causes much alarm, for these fellows evidentiy have some inferzal purpose to execute. It is impossible to determine precisely what it is. They assemble in obedience to the proclamation of J. B.

But this proclamation is an unmitigated lie, and therefore an insult to the citizens of Law- rence. No resistavce whatever has been offered by them to the execution of the Jaw, and neither do they propose to offer any. The only proof. that Donaldson has, «ccording to his own showing, of sach resistance is, lst, that two weeks ago last Sab- bath Sheriff Jones came into town to arrest 8. F. Tappan. He showed no warrant what- ever, for fe had none. When he ioquired of the citizens where Tappan was, they laughed at him. It is this cachination on the part of some men in Lawrence, which the marshal con- strues into an act of resistance to the execation of the law. 2d. When the deputy of the marshal at- tempted to arrest Gov. Reeder, the latter bravely said, ‘that no man should touch him but at his pe- ri’? One hundred men standing by septenge the expression, This applause is construed into an act of resistance to the execution of the law! 3d. The citizens of Lawrence have Sharp’s rifles, thank God. The possession of these weapons is construed into an act of resistance to the execution of law!!! What a Daniel come to judgment is Marshal Donaldson. Just as if in a land where thieves and assassins are rowling about seeking what they may devour, no ree State man can have q rifle except for the pur- pose rebellion. On Monday last the citizens had a meeting, in which certain resolutions were passed in answer to the proclamation, which declare that they will offer no violence to any officer in the execution of his precept, but will resist even unto death the “ ra- yages of an invading mob.” On Tuesday, (seneral Pomeroy arrived. His advent was hailed bald Si demonstrations of joy. He has the entire cont ce of the people. A committee of safety was immedi- ately appointed, of which he is the chairman. Gen. Pomerey is now at the head of the provisional gov- ernment, and is conducting affairs with the test prudence. On Wednesday, the committee of safety sent a communication to Donaldson, in which they ask him to state in writing precisely what he re- uires of the poople of Lawrence. They also repeat that no resistance whatever will be offered to the execution of the territorial law. This paper was taken to Donaldson by Lieutenant berts, Mr. Miller, editor of the Free State, and Mr. Babcock master. On arrivin; at Lecompton a party of Georgians seized _Mr. Mil- Jer and dragged him from his horse, ig 15.3 that they had an account to settle with him. . Miller asked what he had done. They answered that he was from South Carolina, and edited the | free State, and that was enough to “damn him.” He was carried before J. H. Stringfellow and tried on the charge of being a South Carolinisn sbolition- ist—an_offence nearly allied to the unpardonable sin, Counsel was assigned him—a pro-slavery lawyer. The trial, of course, was a perfect farce. He was finally released through the most earnest appeals of pro-slavery friends, after being obliged to pay his conneel ten dollars and five doilars to the august court. His horse and revolver were also stolen. ‘The reply of Donaldson extends over three pages of foolacap, in which the trae issue is covered up by many words He tries to prove that the citizens of Lawrence are in an attitude of hostility to the laws. says he will execute his write in his own time an manner, and oy pepe that he shall demand 8 rifles. the su 5 Such is the in of affairs at this moment of writing. aon knows what will be the result. re of the free State men are busily en: gaged on ir farms at a distance from Law- rence.

RAISING EMIGRANTS IN NEW JERSEY. There is aome talk of raising a company in Mercer county for emigration to Kansas. Pro-Slavery Accounts.

Neosho Ctty—Neosho River and its ibutaries— Price of City Lots—Emigration—Free State ‘Mass Meeting in Neosho— Resolutions Adopted ao of lhe Neosho Valley—The Neosho Val- mes. Southern Kansas has hitherto been but little ex- red by seekers after new homes, and the know. edge of itis but limited throughout the cate. I will therefore proceed to give informatica which my position has enabled me to collect. Neosho City is the settlement commenced by the Vegetarian Settlement Company, originated b; Henry 8. Clubb, of New York city. It is situat nearly due-west of Fort Scott, from which place-it is about forty miles distant. The nearest ap) roach to it from the Missouri river is via Kansas chy and Ossawatamie. The Neosho is aa winding river with banks from seven to twenty feet in height, and du- ming the recent rains it has overflown in some places on a portion of the bottom lands, but from the pre- cipitous character of the river bottom, the water rapidly rans away into the Arkansas, and two days dry weather gives time enough for the flood to di eppear, and the river quickly assumes its clear and regular character. ‘hroughout the country which this river blesses with its fertilizing elewent, a line of timber, varying in width from one to one eighth of a mile, follows the course of the stream; and every two or three miles tributarics of various magnitude, also well timbered, roll along between the foe slopes of the prairies, ‘These tributaries vary in size and length from mere brooks with two or three miles of timber, to streams ot considerable importance, with from twenty ro thir- ty miles oftimber. The pralrie, asa general role, Hes well, both for cultivation and for grazing. The bottom lands cznot be excelled for fertilts 3 the slopes are sufficiently flat to retain a good proportion of fertiiizing properties, and are well adapted fof grain, frnit, vegetables, &c., while the highest lunds are good enough for oats or pasture. The country is rich in coul, limestone, sandstone and slate, all of which are near the surface. _ On one of the beautiful knolls jutting out from the ‘side of one vast sweep of upland prairie, and com- manding a fine view of the river, near Middle Creek, which runs through the park, the centre of Neosho City has been fixcd; and as the octagon plan has been peoptet the avenuesare arranged to run to- wards all points of the compass from this command- ing eminence, Three of them will cross the river at several points, and the others will branch out on the prainiec, along Middle Creek; one to Fort Scott, another towards Kansas city, &e. Lots which were purchased on Monday last, at premiums, amounting to $40, were sold on the following Wednesday at prewiums amounting to $197 50, with a balance of about one-third the lots remaining for farther ad- vance in prices. Neosho City has thus made a ment, and emigrants are coming in from all direc- tions, as far as Mississippi and Georgia on the south, and Canada, Maine, Massacusetts and New commence- emacs hanna ata aetna City Improvements, STREET OPENING—WHAT DOWN TOWN 18 DESTINED TO BECOME—NEW BUILDINGS GOING UP IN THE THIRD AND FIFTH WARDS. The change for the better that has beon wrough’, 15 yg ‘sppesrance of the Jower part of New York the last tem years is almost incredible, No © , foreseen or anticipated it. aeons aid But however great the improve been, there is no question br’, i parte ratte will witness still more “rartiing changes, that {a, if no War OCCUrS OF BTC! caigmity betalls our oity. The opening *.ad widening of streets will be one of the agencies te, bring this transformation about. The eut- ting tough of the Bowery to Franklin square is destined to, work a great change, and will improve Fourth and Second ward property enormousiy. Heretofore the west side of down town has had the advantage, and year after year splendid stores have supplanted private edifices, until all below Canal street bids fair, before Jong, to beeome nothing but stores. Tee extension of the Bowery, however, will give the east: side an opportunity to compete with the west, and a ms’ gical transformation may be looked for on the line of the improvement. There is no doubt, also, but that this opentrg will do somethirg towards solving the problem of relievirg Broadway, and much of the vehioular travel that now traverses the latter avenue will find its way up the Bowery. The opening of Chambers street to Jame slip will also. act more advantageously for down town trade and Fourth: ward imprcvement. Tho character of Cherry, Oak, James, Roosevelt and other streets will be affested most beneficially, and the poor people who cluster there im fes- tering crowds will be compelled to seek other and miore- habitable quarters. There is s proporition on foot to cut Franklin street through to Chath»m square, and it is to be hoped that it: will succeed. Jt is objected that unless the whole street j# Widered, it will do very little good, and this is trae, Widening West Broad way did not makes better street of it, simply because Laurens street was not widened alse. The- tame criticism is true o. Centre street. Franklin street is now filled with old houses, and were it widened now and run through to the Bowery, it could be done cheaply, and would make a noble avenue, and be of great use to tbe commerce of the city. That Worth street also should be widered, and run through to Chatham street, is too self-evident to require any argument, The widening of Duane street has had the effect of improving the adjacent property wonderfully, and it would do Reade street no harm if that also was enlarged. . Greenwich street gives but little signs of tmprovement —® stracge anamuly, truly, as all the surrounding pro- perty has been greatly enbanced in value and improved. The éli’e of the city once lived im the lower part of this strect, and that not many years ago; but now lager bier and Limturger cheese are dealt out in places hallowed as the ‘orrer resort of the fashionable and the fair. The openirg of Canal street progresses very slowly, and probably will not be completed before next winter. The houses in the way have been torn down, and those situ- ated on the north side of Walker street have been razeed of their-fair proportions, in order tp give the street the required width. There is no question but that this im- York on the north and east. A majority of the States of the Union are already represented in the Vegetarian and Octagon companies, both of which were originated by the same individuals. Old set- tlers are joining in the enterprise, and offering their improvements and claims as stock. On Thursday last, Neesho City was honored by a visit from General John Dailey, who, by request, ad- dressed a meeting of the citizens the same even- ings with good ettect. 1, Burgess, an established settler in this valley, Premed and Mr. Henry 8. Clubb acted as secretary. ‘ney both addressed the meeting, and a committee, consisting of Measrs. Clubb, Broadbent and Herri- man, reported the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted: Resoived. that we inhabi'ants of Neosho City and valley, heartily app:ove of the present movement urging upon Congress the immediate admivsion of Kansas asa tree 3 ats, believing that the present political condition of the Territory, tre preservation of psace, and the maintenasce of the rights of th people necessarily de- ward speedy action on this quest’on. Resolves, Thata peution ve drawn up and signed by the cheisrau on behalf of the meeting, demanding of Congress the admissic, of Kansas as a free State. Messrs. Clubb, Herriman and Adams were ap- pointed a committee to draw up the petition. After giving votes of thanks to the chairman and speak- eis, aud hearty cheers tor freedom in Kansas, mee ing adjourned until this evening. It was an enthusiastic gathering, by moonlight, in the open air, and may be regarded ss a fair sample of the feeling of the great mass of settlers in Neosho Valley. The country here is rapidly filling oath true hearted democrats, who are not under nul- lification influence, but who intend to stand by the principles of democracy—the right of every people to make their own laws, let the consequences to themselves Bersonatl ly be what they may. The Neosho Valley is now teeming with verdure and beauty; the plough is turning the rich sod of green and black, and the cattle are grazing on the hills; houses are rising in all directions between the park like knolls, studded with trees, as if arranged with the most exquisite taste of the landscape gar- dener. The spot which I have selected for.a home is one of the romantic loveliness. 1 had to pay $65 premium for it, but I would not now take $500 pre- mium. It is a hill commanding a fine view of the river and the city site, and is about a quarter mile from the central park. A traveller’s log cabin, where stores have, doubtless, been deposited, is al- ready on the spot, and the trees around are arranzed with a perfection of laudscape beauty which art could never have secured. It isa spot worth five thousand miles journey to secure, and having come that distaece I am well satisfied with the result, General Dailey has become so enamored with this location, that he has decided to become my neigh- bor, and we together intend to start in a few mont the Neosho Valicy Times, believing that a paper in this locality is essential to our prosperity. ie Ge- neral will make a tour through [ndiana and Illinois, where he will secure subsc i Tous friends and ‘ihe Post office nearest this locality is Fort Scott, and letters addressed to our friends here should bear the superscription, ‘Neosho City, via Fort Scott, ” The British Enlistment Case, STATEMENT OF MR. HENRY HERTL. 3 Mr. Henry Hertz hereby makes his statement in relation to several of the aflidavits taken by the ents of the British government, and copies of which were transmitted by Lord Clarendon to the American Secre of State. ‘As tothe affidavit of W.Shumacher, New York, 24th November, 1855, Hertz says that Shuma- cher was a recruiting agent fer the British go- vernment in New York. he Mr. Loeb referred to in the affida¥it was arrested in this city the same day with Hertz. Hertz denies the trath of the affidavit, and asserts, that when Shumacher made it he was in the employ of the British govern- ment. As to the affidavit of M. A. Thoman, Philadelphia, November 2, 1855, Hertz says that Thoman, for- meily a pape carrier here, bad his headquarters in Boston, as recruiting agent for the British, was obliged to leave there to esc criminal preceed- ings, and was in no other | see on in the distillery at Coates street, No. 152, as a common laborer, employed mainly to attend the stills. to Thowan’s second affidavit, of same date, Hertz says that if he had been paid by Russian agent, as is alleged, he would have given evedence sooner than he did; and not have waited until he vias convinced, ond then deserted by the English officials. As to P. R. Scherr’s affidavit, Philadelphia, 7th “March, 1856, Heriz says that he never was in the employ of P. R. Scderr, but in that of E. N. Scherr, irom whom he alledges an honorable disc! yi ‘4s to the second affidavit of William Mebler, Philadelphia, 2d Nov., 1855, Hertz denies that he was in Scheleswig Holstein at any time from 1848 until te ected a he was then in Messina, Italy, or in fel ‘russia. "Ae'to the affidavit of Wm. A. Dobbyn, Philndel- phia, 34 November, 1855, Hertz says that Mt. Dob- byn wag once an English Colonel—admits that he dha ark Dobbyn to procure him funds from Consul Matthews, Hertz enies that he spoke as Dobb; alleges, and asserts that what he did say was to effect that he depended on Messrs.

Fret Case or CHovera—On Monday, says the Mobile Register, of the 20th inst, Wm. Hughes boatewain of the British ship Wasp, was attacke: with cholera, and so rapid was its progress that he died in two hours, The deceased was a patiye of jin, proversent will make Canal street one of the most thrifty, as it is now one of the finest, avenues in the city. There is » large traffic In maatillas, dry goods, shoes and millinery, and the like, now going on in this street, and three years after the opening is completed the business will be trebled. As yet the houres im Canal street are very inferior, but in a very little while all this will be charged. Canal street now boasts of but two fine houses—one marble front cne at the cerner of Wooster street, and a brown stone building at the corner of Thompscn street, occupied by the People’s Bank. Om the northeast corner of Canal and Mercer streets, a splendid building is to be erected, that will have a front- age cn Canal and Howard streets of fifty feet, with = depth of one hundred and thirty feet on Mercer street. The front on Canal street will be of white marble, the remainder ot fine preszed brick. It will be five stories high, and will cost $100,000. It is to be osenpled by Arnolé, Constable & Co., ss a dry goods store, and a mag- nificent one it will make, too. We notice no otber improvements worthy of mention in the Fifth ward, until we come to Duane street. Oa the southwest side of this street, near Broadway, Grey, An- drews & Co, are about erecting a wit white mar- ble front. which is to cost $20,000. Farther down im the block, Messrs. Bliss, Gould & Co. are about erectirg a marble frcnt bullding, fifty feet wide, amd run- ning back to Reace street, which will cost, perhaps, $75,000, Since this street has been widened it has been ‘na shameful condition. -It has been covered with hil- ocks of dirt, and no attempt has been made to curb, pave and gutter it. At the corner of Church and Duane streete there is a sprendid store goirg up, which is to be occupied by Ienac N. & Jobn J. Phelps as a dry goods store. The lot is 26 seet on Church street and 100 on Duane, and cost $36,000, The building is to be of white marble, six stories high, wich sab-cellars, and wili probably cost $40,000, ‘The efforts made to widen this street, on the east side of Broadway, has so far been unsuccesefa, but mo doubt it will be eventually done, Reade street next claims our attention. M’Cardy, Al- drieh & Spencer are putting up a buildiag, on a lot 50 feet front and 77 feet deep. It will havea white marble front, and will cost $40,000. The proposed widening of this street is also in siatu quo. On the corner of Chambers and Chureh streets,on the site of the St. Louis Hotel, » new building is going up, owned by John M. Robinson. This ts to be 28 feet om Chambers street and 103 on Church. The building will be of brown stone, and will cost $30,000. It {a already rented for $10,000 a year—quite good interest on the money in- vested. Holmes & Colgate will put up a very fine store, with a marble front, cn iots Nos. 126 and 128 Chambers street, near West, shortly. In Warren street a number of improvements are iz pregress. On lot No. 10 the old house has been de- molished, and Joseph Haggerty is about to erect s fine marble front buildirg, five stories high, which will cost $25,000. The old building was notorfous as e gambling house. On lots 23 and 25 two fine marble front ware- houses are to be erected. College place and the grounds adjacent bave already been fully described in the Hzraip, In Barclsy street eight elegant buildings are to be erected on lots Nos. 29, 31, 33, 36, 37 and 39. At No. 12 Dr. Bradshaw has a fine store nearly completed. On lot 27 warehouse, six stories high, 26 feet front and 116 deep, ia in the process of completion. In Vesey street, J. & J. W. Meeks, furniture dealers, are about to erect two bulidings, six stories in heighb— one 25, and the other 50 fect front and 100 deep. Fronts of white marble, and sub-cellar 22 feet below the pavement. Snow in Mapison County, N. Y.—We arn from the Syracuse Jeurnal that on Sanday, May 25, there was ‘a heavy fall of snow at Cozenovia. It commenced at 10 o’clock in the meee tinued until about noon.
