Our law unquestionably al- lows the people to abate a nuisance, or, in other , to beat it down or destroy it, but i does not allow the people to declare what is a nuisance. The only way they can de- clare a thing to be a nuisance is through ir representa- lives who make the laws. Nothing is a nuisance, to be abated by the people, unless it ig declared to be such by Jaw, or has been led as such by custom from time immemorial. The ire passing a law to remove the tine was @ very different act from a law declaring it to be a nuisance. T advocate the right of the le to abate nuisances, ‘but whenever they declare a to be a nuisance which is not such by law or custom, and mob law, under any cireu and cannot be justitied by any one who desires to uphold the laws of our land and preserve and perpetuate the institutions and privi- leges we enjoy.

That the spread of the yellow fever this season on Staten Island is greatly attributable to the carelessnces and fault of dose in sethority there is no doubt; and the destruction of the hospitals in defence of the health and lives of the people, who were driven to derperation, is really as much the offence of these in authority at and over Quarantine as of the people themselves.

During the course of this week applications for discounts from the mercantile community have been more frequent than usual. Several banks, to accommodate their legitimate customers, called in some of their loans on stocks, and for a time there was a prospect of some little activity in money; for a day or two, at least, money brokers and cashiers asked higher rates. But it was found impossible to maintain the advance, and on Satarday loans were done as low, almost, as at any time this season. There has been a good business done in foreign exchange, which has ruled throughout the week at 110 a 100% a % for bills on London, mercantile exchange being scarce, and the whole demand falling on the hankers. domestic exchange is doll, Hospital, who committed suicide by taking an overdose of | the exchanges both in the West and New England being in Jaudanum. upon the body of a woman named Anne Dono- hue, who was killed by falling down a flight of stairs at No, 50.
