With- in the past two years at least two conductors have been fearfully crushed in this way, while collecting fare, and no later than last Sunday the arm of a gentleman had a narrow escape from being fractured in a.similar way on this Mne from travel. These are but a few of the » grievances t® which the public are subject on the city railroads. There is but one remedy— to hold the managers of the roads personally responsible for any catastrophe that may oceur. Money Thrown Away. There is a proposition before the Constitu- dona! Convention to publish full reports of the proceedings of that body in two Albany papers, @tanexpense of six dollars and a halfa column each. This is simply throwing away fifty or sixty thousand dollars of the people’s money. No person sees either of the Albany papers outside of that city, except, perhaps, a + few dilapidated politicians scattered here and there through the State, The HeraLp pub- lishes full reporia of all the real business of the Convention, which are read by the people of the whole State. There is no propriety in such a useless expenditure of the public money as that proposed, and the Convention, having laid the report of the select committee on the table, should reject it when it is again called up. Another Jam oa Broadway. It appears that the right of travel on Broa’- way is never to be secured to the public. No sooner is one job on the pavement completed than another is commenced. Sometimes it is the Croton Board that has to rip up and un- dermine the street to get their water pipes in order ; again it istho pavement itself that re- quires repairing. Broadway to-day is in a wretched condition from one or the other of these causes. We do not see why the Croton Board could not have access to the water pipes through some underground channel, like the sewers London, or by some other means manage to get at the defects in their machinery without tearing up the highways and obstruct- ing travel. It would be most desirable, too, that we should have some kind of pavement that would not require perpetual repairing. We do not care whether it is the Nicholson pavement, com- posed of pine blocks, sand and pitch, which works so well in Chicago, or any other kind, provided that it is permanent and will relieve us from the nuisance of laying one kind of pavement to-day and another to-morrow. The idea which appears to prevail that the streets of New York cannot be macadamized and stand the wear and tear of travel is all non- sense. The traffic on our streets is not greater than on those of London or Paris, where this system of paving is adopted. That it is not as economical as the present variegated plan of paving our streets is also absurd. It may not afford as many chances for the Common Coun- cil to make money, but in the end it would be, perhaps, the cheapest pavement we could have; for there is enough of stone suitable for the purpose actually going to waste all over Manhattan Island—the refuse of the building materials employed every day in erecting new structures, Whatever method is adopted in paving the streets, it is manifest that—whether Nicholson or Macadam is immortalized—what we most require is something that will last for a reasonable time, and give us a clear track on our principal highways for at least afew weeks in the year. Skidmore and the Prison Authorities. W. T. Skidmore has escaped the rewards of justice by a multiplication of his crimes. To the guilt of the murderer he has added that of the suicide. It is unpleasant to say unkindly things of the dead; but it is not exceeding what is demanded of us when we say thata more desperate and dangerous character than Skidmore has seldom rushed unbidden into the presence of Eternal Jusiice. We have no . desire to go into the disgusting details of this case. We cannot, however, allow the oppor tunity to pass without expressing our surprise that the law should allow such abandoned and desperate characters to remain in possession of e lethal weapons. It is difficult to resist the con- viction that the law which permits such a siate of things is largely responsible for this suicide and for the consequent failure of justice. “If the law really does grant such license, a cly.nge jf Recessary.

The indoor and outdoer harangues which have been lately delivered in this city by a man named Murphy, who styles himself the ‘‘Anti-Remanist Lecturer,” and who in all his discourses inveighs vehemently against Popery and the ceremonies, rites and sacraments—particularly the confts- sional—of the Catholic Church, induced very great disturbances here during the last few days. Very intense excitement prevails among the people, and at one time last Tuesday the aspect of affairs was exceedingly serious. At least one hundred thousand people were turned out in the streets and an enraged mob had possession of the city for some time. They sacked several houses. The rioters marched through the streets singing “Glory, glory, hallelujah,” ‘John Brown's cho- ras,” and other airs of this class. The authorities were active in defence of order. ‘The Riot act was read by the magistrates. Troops were hurried to the city from Manches- terand placed in position in the streets, The military did not fre, however. The city police were out in full force, the men using their cutlasses. Several of the rioters were wounded, but none, as yet reported, killed. The excitement is now somewhat lulled, and it is expected the active disturbances are ended. Murphy, who is under the protection of the “Protestant Electoral Union,” has gersisted in his course, apd every night delivers offensive lan- guage at muoh length sgaingt the Roman Catholic church, ridiculing its rites, &c. Attempts have been made to renew the distur- bance out of doors, but they have been put down. The city is comparatively quiet at present. THE THRONE OF ENGLAND. SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE NERALD.

Heer, presented his credentials to the King of Prussia at a solemn audience. On that occasion, King William, al- fuding to the recent events which had nearly compro- mised the peace of Europe, declared that Prussia was firmly resolved to rospect Helvetic neutrality. The envoy of King William at Berne, General Rooder, has held a similar language to the President of the Confed- eration. In Constantinople, June 3, Lord Lyons presented to the Sultan Queen Victoria’s invitation to London, which was accepted. The date of his Majesty’s departure was fixed for June 22. “ t ‘A despatch from Constantinople reports that in con- nection with the proposed law tn regard to foreigners, there had been some disturbance in that city, and some . arrests had been made. At the sitting of the Spanish Chamber of Deputics Jane 4, the Minister for the colonies stated that the re- venue from the colonial possessions of Spain will ex- coed the expenditure by one hundred million reals, which will be at the disposal of the Treasury. ‘The Dorset (England) Chronicle says the Fenian Burke is to be transported to the Island of Portland.

An argument of this kind ‘was evidently of too strong a character to be disregarded, and the consequence was that the Excise Commissioners instructed the ice of the acre Forty-sixth, ae. ‘orty-ninth and Fiftieth precincts and a detail from the central office squad to proceed to the districts complained of, and. if the circumstance should prove as stated to arrest the delinquents, Agreeably to such instruction squads wers sent out from the precinets named yesterday morning, and the following named persons Wore arrested :— : Hoxtsa’s Powr,—Farrell Riley, Richard Fitagerald, James Hunter, J R, Cailey, George Looe Pat- rick Tierney, Hugh McNeil, Charles Schwanberg, Joseph McLaughlin, Francis Lantry.

ARREST OF AN ALLEGED DISHONEST DOMESTIC. Some few days ago Captain Charles Donovan, of the Ho- boken police, called at the Fifth Precinct station house and gave information to the effect that some families im Hoboken had been heavily victimized by a domestic, and that om examination ho learned that the culprit was a German woman, some thirty years of jage, not over handsome in appearance, and known as Barbara Folger, alias Anna, and more familiarly, ‘Old Hannah;” and that she was but the assistant of one Julius Baut who rejoices in the sanguinary alias -of “The Butcher,” and the aliases of George and Henry Crook. From information{in Captain Donovan’s possession, itwas believed that the pair had quitted punctilious New Jer- ‘sey forsome part of puritamcal New England; and it was jadged that after plying their vocation there for @ while they would return to New York. Detective Field ‘was set on the case by Captain Petty of the Fifth precinct Police; and the officer traced the pair, after some of their usual depredations in New Haven and Hartford, to a miserable underground lodging in Elizabeth street in this city. They were taken to the station house in Leonard street, and will be detained there to-day in order that they may be identified by any who have been victimized by them. If no compiainant appoar in this city they will be banded over t® Captain Donovan, atjHo- en, and subjected to the mercies of New Jersey law. HOWA GUBERNATORIAL NOMINATION.
