THE STRIKE OF THE CARTMEN, - feo. ‘As reported in the Herat of yesterday, the Boms4 of Aldermen have become suddenly awake to the fact tit ‘our city isin a very dirty condition, that a pestilence imminent, and the Board of Health must be convened. ey alloge that the late contract between the Mayor and “others and Messrs, Brown, De Veau and Knapp has net ‘been kept, and request the Mayor to take such measures ,as will inure the cleanliness of our city. In accofdance ‘with the tenor of those resolutions the Mayor yesterday (had an interview with the contractors, who stated the ‘difficulties they were laboring under at present, but ‘which they are satisfied are only temporary. | ‘Itappeats, im the first place, that when they were ‘@warded the contract that, in order to accommodate In- spector Boole, they agreed to commence work on the 1st Ainst., this only allowing them twenty-one days to procure ll the necessary appliances for street cleaning, engage men, carts, &c. In order to carry out their part of the @ontract they entered into negotiations with the late em- ployes of the Street Inspector, and all went ‘‘merry as a ‘marriage bell.” They had expected to have had flittle diMiculty thus in commencing. pn or about the 1st inst. an organize &a,, (ordinance dred and ee ‘week to have all ‘clean. iditers’ Ay iplenty of it ie woll fora beginning. contractors qptimate the number of men they have em- sployed at ly five hundred, which number they will of r8e considerably ‘augment. rt to. the Mayor ti their men been attacked with stones and othor missiles by boy no doubt actuated by those malevolent ties they before referred to, Many of these emplo ave been seriously injured, and in some cases a nutul ‘ot police have to attend the carts each day, in order to x protect their-men. men, $1 say hot objected to by the men. ‘this statement be correct—and we have no proof to the contrary—will find themselves worsted in the struggle, and, instead of having tho contractors in their power, oo a &., bage, &c., removed from the streets, ‘after which it only requires a due attention, which they are dotermined to bestow, on our thoroughfares, and thus render our city what it has not beon for years— It may bo well to state the wages Offered by the contractors: for carts, $4 per day; for 75; which scoms a preity fair rate, and thoy ‘Thus the strikers, if will be themselves powerless.

In this strait they employed what men they could. A number of those men were intimi- dated or persuaded by the other rwork. In the face of these difficulties, which they ‘assert can be traced to the opposition of a few parties in power, they were not perhaps able to doas much as they ight have done last week, three days of which—the 3d, ‘ath and 6th—may be considered as holidays; now, how- ever, matters are changed, and they promise within a they say, to cease 0. Thoy say there is no difficulty in getting men, and owed us a letter from the Secretary of the Discharged ncy, offering to provide the contractors with ose who “had swept the country clean of mn and traitors, and who were thus well up in the ‘business.’’ Carts they have nearly sufficient.

Im faet the thermomoter kept down im the region of sevonty-four degrees nearly all’ day, which is something it has not done before in some weeks. To add to the pleasantness of the weather there was a drizaling, misty, wottish aort of a rain’ hovering over tlie earth, which occasionally leaked out a' little of its superabundant moisture upow the heads and should- ers of the pedestrianating males and females who chanced to be oat at the time. A aamber of the former, in consequence:of the water they had on the outside, poured dowa’ a large quantity of tanglefoot for the benefit of their internal improvements, but failed to better thoir condition until confined in the iba for disorderly con- duct.

COLLEGE COMENCEMENTS. ing were uot inferior to those of any former gatheriag- Court of General Sessions. Before Judge Russel. Soon after the opening of tho court yesterday the Grand Jury brought in another bately of indictments. A NOTORIOUS THIEF. The first case disposed of was an indictment against Charles Depall alias Wm, Wost, who was charged with steuling a gold watch and four overcoats, the whole amount of property being worth nearly four hundred dollars; pleaded guilty to the offence, The offence was committed on the 5th of June at the premises of Adolph Reiss, 165 East Thirty-nimth street. There were two other indictments against him. The Judge, in passing sentence, remarked that the prisoner had a notorious re- putation, and that when he was arrested by the officerhe drew a revolver and attempted to shoot him, The high- ost penalty of the law was inflicted, which was imprisom- ment in the State Prison for five years. Goorge Kline pleaded guilty to an attempt at grand larceny, having been charged with stealing thirty dollars worth of trinkets from Catharine Sharp, 73 Ninth ave nue, on the 11th of June.’ He was sent to the Peniten- tiary for three months, CONVICTION OF A SNEAK THIEF. John Simmons was tried on a charge of attempting to» commit grand larceny, under aggravated circumstances. In Time of Peace Prepare for War. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEKALD. From many considerations we have often, in the past two years, felt it proper te conceal rather than to hold up to public scrutiny the defects of our sail fleet as well’ as of the submerged light draughts; but as there is no longer any reason why we should maintain our reti- cence, we take leave to’ ask the careful consideration of the Navy Department to a subject which has Meen too long neglected, and which, from its importance; should command immodiate and persistent attention. Werefer to the deop and quick rolling of many of the ships which, within a much briefer peried than the last quar- ter of a century, have glided from the navy yards, ‘We remember to have carefully noted that in avery moderate sea one of these ships, with nearly full supply of fuel and provisions-on board; rolled from thirty-two to thirty-five degrees. And this,.we have reason to be- lieve, is by no means an exceptional case. Nor do we here refer to the Richmond—a ship which we once re- marked rolling deeply on the still: water of Pensacola Bay, while other p= anchored near her, and lying in the same direction, were quite motionless. Ships-of-war aré designed to be platforms for guns, and every body can comprehend that on such platforms, at sea, as we have spoken of, guns must be useless: for it would be all that a gun’s crew could do to keep them- selves from being dashed with violence from side to Hamilton College. Tho exercises of Commomcement week at Hamilton College wift be as follows :-— President Fishor will deliver his seventh Baccalaureate sermon on:Sunday afternoon, July 1 Rev. Dr: Phos. $. Hastings, of New York, will address the Society of Christian Research on Sunday evening. Prize Declamation, Monday evening, July 17. Rev. Dr. H. A.

To-tell the whole truth and naught extenuate, it was certainly not less disagreeable than the hot Friday of last weo\,.but from a different reason. On Friday there was too much heat and dust, and yesterday thero ‘was too much wet and not enough of the dust. How- Thie following:is the order of'exercises for Commence- ment week :— On Sunday, Sty 23, at half-past seven o'clock P. M., the Rev. John M. Reid, D. D., of Cincinnati, will address the Theological Foriety' in the' Presbyterian church. On Tucsday, the 25th, at two- o'elock P. M., the Phi Beta Kappa Society will meet in the College chapel. At four o’elock P. M. the Rev. Robert J, Breckinridge, D. D., of Danville, Ky., will address the Phi Beta Kappa Society in the Prosbytertam church, At half-past_ seven o'clock P. M.,gthe Hon. Jom W.

In this way these gentlemen would have the opportu- nity of witnossing the dofect m our ships which has been referred to, the extent of which they do not realize, and canght him by the log, but he escaped through the win- dow. An alarm being made the officer came into the housé and arrested the criminal on the stairs, and on searching him a loaded revolver and a pair of nippors were found in his possession, and a club on the stairs.

Joseph Courtney, indicted for highway robbery, pleaded guilty to an assault with intent to rob, Mr. Por: kins Cleaveland, The complainant was assaulted on the night of the 18th of June by the prisoner, and a watch and chain worth one hundred and ten dollars forcibly taken from his person. As there was some doubt in the mind of the complainant as to the identity of the accused, and as his previous character was good, the Judge re- nded him for sentence till Friday. KOBRING A RETURNED SOLDIER. James Crogan was tried and convi larceny, in ling one hundred and seve: from Law Ward, © returned soldier, at a notorious lance house in Water street, known as the Philadelphia House, The prisoner was the barkeeper, and invited Cragan to go up stairs and take a drink. He sent out for solves very offloious at our city hotels and on board our steamboats for some time past. To do away with this practice a special detective force is now boing organized in thiscity. The projector and chief of tho undertaking is gentleman who has had an experience of twenty years, and under his supervision it promises every suc- ceas, ' The steamboats rupning in this vicinity will also be looked after by theso:detectivos.

The distance is between forty-eixht and forty-nine miles. ‘This feat has only been exeented once before, and then by @ profesei na! boatman, about two years wince, who made the distance in a few minutes less time than that made by Mr. Brown.
