It requires but taste and enterprise to make Now York, with its suburbs, the very queen of cities, Nature has here been lavish of her favors, If the hand of art does not mar in the outting the jewel which nature has supplied, it is not too much to say that fifty years hence the upper part of the island and the surround- ing suburbs will present attractions, if equalled certainly not surpassed, by any of the great cities of the world, Tho’ city itself must be- come more and more a hive of busy industry; but this is not incompatible with the growth of taste on the part of the people, and with the development of that taste’ in their business establishments, The city must grow more beautiful, just as its citizens grow more wealthy. The rule certainly does not always hold good, that taste follows on the heels of wealth; but in spite of the exceptions, it is still the rule. We oan discover nothing in the condition or prospects of the Empire City, barring the hope that it will yet becoms more and more “a thing of beauty.” It will not be the city proper, how- ever, which will chiefly reveal the wealth and taste of the citizens, These will best be seon in our suburban retreats.

A broad legislation will give us “the greatest good to the greatest number;” but we have for a long time been denying the practice of the maxim. We want no moro of this mal- appropriation of our treasure, either for any Protestant or Catholic faith; for every contribu- tion made is a blow struck et their morals and at our institutions. Let the State see to this reckless drain upon the treasuries of nearly every city in its boundary. New York alone is bled as much as is at present dared; each year the treasure flows more freely. ‘The curse of the religions sects in the Old World has been the wealth that has corropted them¢ so in the New World we are to go through the same rise, corruption, disgust with and fall of what we call Christianity.

All this is very galling to the national spirit and everybody is asking, “What is the cause of our apparent lack of influence, and how is all this to end?’ The Mexicans owe us both re- spect and gratitude, Asan enemy, they have seen an American general, with ten thousand men, march through the heart of their country, capture their capital and scattor its garrison of thirty-two thousand soldiers like so many gong-beating Chinese.

In our columna this morning we present a very curious and interesting statistical ac- count of.some of the expenditures of the State and city of New York for the support of sectarian institutions. This little peper should startle our taxpayers, who, it appears, have been bled, since 1850, over two millions of dollars. Protestant and Catholic alike have shared in the spoils of this sectarian warfare against the pockets of the community. The appropriation of such immense amounts to sectarian purposes is in direct opposition to he spirit of our institutions, and should at once be cut short. If the republicanism exist- ing in our people is not sufficient to control this evil, then let @ clause be inserted in the constitution of the State forbidding any such expenditure of the public funds. Let each sect take care of itself, and not fatten upon us who have no interest in selecting any one reli- gion for especial favor. The whole tendency is towards the greatest evil that can befall a people—the Union of Church and State. When we, In the fundamental law of the land, pro- energy of tho groat republic.

Influenced by feolings of humanity and by an anxious desire to save the life of a brave, well meaning, but, a6 we think, misguided man, we have asked that the life of Maximilian be sparod. What has been the reply? We have.been coolly told that that is not our affair—that the now dominant party in Mexico must be allowed to. do with Maximilian and his companions as they think fit. This is our reward. We have beem snubbed—snubbed by a paltry faction of a paltry and miserable people, whom we have petted and made much of. This comes of the ‘bungling officionsness of our Secretary of State. What will they say about it in Europe? What will, Napoleon and his royal and imperiat guests say aboutit? What can they say bus that we are big enough to.bally, but not brave enongh to fight? Rather, what will they think. of our honor? Napoleon respected United States authority. Juarez despises it. What ie. to: be the end of all this? We have just learned, as will appear in another part of te- day’s paper, that we have been similarly snubbed at the hands of Brazil.

Ta” thé British Parliament, s few yearaagot Yet, on the 20th of May an amendment to the pending Reform dill was proposed in the House of Commons to extend the suffrage to women, and, after being aupported by an ingenious, if not able, speech from Mr. John Stuart Mill, it actually obtained a vote of seventy-three in its favor, out of a house of two hundred and sixty- nine members. Radicaliem is making rapid stridea in England, as we'll os in America, Woman suffrage is a strong card to play ; for woman’s influence is great, aod the radical politicians on both sides of the Atlantic are evidently going to make this the platform of the future.

Such, indeed, are the great Protestant and Catholic Church estates which are growing up around us, and to the extent of hundreds of miltions of dollars, throwing {ended property into mortmain and opposing the progress of the republic. Priest-ridden Mexico has been taught to insert in her conati- tution that no religious society shall possess more real estate than is absolutely required for purposes of worship. If our legislators keep on with their wholesale appropriations it will soon be found necessary to adopt the aam’ law. The effect of the donations of which we com- plain 1s, moreover, to raise up enormous mono- polies which, banding undera single manage- mont many millions of dollars, at length lose all the really religious elements for which Christian societies are originally established, and they then go into the markets as vast moneyed corporations, deing a regular bank- ing and real estate business.

Thus the flgiong, orderg lay aside all their high morality, become seized of the uncontrollable desire to force their political creeds into the government of the State, and dictate to the community. what road they must take to Heaven. This desire appears to increase in a geometrical ratio, with the accumulason of of the means to gratify it; and in mofe than one of our Churches the effort is heing boldly shaped and boldly ere that it is necessary to have a Sia Chure It matters not what creed may possess - power—all are alike domineering in its exercise, and all equally to be feared, if once the power be placed in their hands; for we well know by the history of the world that religious fanaticism is che ; Most sweeping and crushing of all the human passions, and the one which, up to the present time, has rocked the world in handreds of years of warfare.

The fa'lure of several comic papers has given rise to an impression that the public taste is not favorable to that style of journalism. This is not altogether correct. The papers in ques tion did not succeed for two reasons—first, be- causo they were wanting in pungency, and secondly, because they made a spocialty of that which is merely a diversion to more seri ous occupations. In Europe papers of this character prosper becanse there is a numerous class of idlers there, to whom they are almost a necessity. In America, although we enjoy fun as keenly, we do not allow it to interfere with business. A newspaper which has a comie vein will be relished here a3 well as elsewherey but it must combine with it the features which correspond with our habits to secure for it a circulation, Harper's Weekly bas been lately developing some hing of the humor which bas made the Loadon Punch $0 popular. It has published several very enjoyable articles and wood cate which have given the paper quite a spicy ohar- acter. There used to be naother. journal, Les- Ue's, which attempted the same style of illus tr.tionr, but we are not aware that it is still in existence. One of the cleverest things which Harper hae treated us to is its view of the Broadway bridge and its surroundings, im eluding St. Paul’s charch and the new Hmratp estallishment—the two most pious build in the city. We would advise “fs artiz, ae is is erkienily A Se 8 Bs ot So pt hase of subjects which Sesaptable s feature in Punch. He might, for instance, give Jeff Davis and Horace Greeley at three differ ent epochs-—in 1960, when they were both howling for secession aad war; in 1861 aod 1862, when one was “firing the Southern heart” and denounetng the Northern men as “Yankee spaniels,” and the other was shouting “On to Richmond,” and in 1867, when they were hag- ging each other in Richmond like a couple of niggers. These would make first rate pictures, and would soll the paper immensely. Let the aruist try his hand on them at once, so 18 to be ready for the fresh series of suggestions with which we moan to furnish him. “Mtrawe In Tirginin.
