Sanitary Science an a cy Sewerage. A city with a populati on like ours requires all the appliances of ¢ anjtary science which the experience of othe'e -great capitals or the kill of those who have made it a study can afford us. That our pe culiar location between two rivers, with ® gr ade from the centre or .Ibackbone of the city; to each of these water highways, having &’ regular tidal flow, affords opportunity for & gystem of drainage is an -additional reason ¥ ;hy the metropolis should be purified if a prope method were adopted—why pestilence should cease to be created in the gutters and ev jlyed from the rivers at low tide, or driven’ pack through the sewers into the residences of our citizens on the wings of deadly odors, according as the wind blows from the west.ort he east. This is really the condi- tion of thir gs under our present system of sewerage. The filth of the city is only conducted {nto ther? ver to accumulate around the mouths of the se’ vers and return again in the new and —_ dangerous form of poisonous miasma. kis 1 of plague reduced the sanitary con- ition’ of London to so bad a state some few Years ago that all the portions of the city in the ¥ icinity of the Thames became almost un- {nhal sitable. But the evil was remedied by adoy ting a plan, not very expensive nor diffi- oul! , of construction, which General Viele pro- Hor sed in a report published some time since in ou rcolumns to carry out in this city. It is © >thing more than to build low lying sewers @ long the water front, which could be made /ceceptacles for the deposits of the lateral sew- ers and the contents be conveyed from thence ‘et ebb tide on flat boats or barges away from the city and put to useful purposes on neigh- boring farms, instead of flowing, as they now do, into the rivera and creating a pest- hole at every wharf. Any one who has crossed the ferries on the North and East rivers at low water must have had a very keen sense of this abomination, induced by the very keen Bcent stirred up by the ferryboats. During heavy; rains or strong winds the residents of the el portions of the city are similarly favored in their dwellings. “When we consider that there are twelve thousand acres of ground embraced within the area of this city, representing a hundred and fifty thousand building lots, of which, accord- ing to careful survey and calculation, thirty thousand lots are really not fit for human occu- pation, by reason of the water underlying the soil, filling the cellars and giving birth to sickly miasma, the necessity of a better sys- tem of drainage and sewerage as a sanitary measure becomes gravely apparent. The sewers as now constructed do not relieve the city of this under surface water because they are not laid low enough to receive it. It fs evident, hen, that if we are to have a per- fect system of drainage which will rid us of the causes of disease so prevalent in tene- ment houses and overpopulated districts, as the records of the Board of Health so pain- fully remind us, we must adopt some such system as that which has been suggested, and which has proved remarkably successful in London and Paria and other cities of Europe. When the facility with which the disgusting absurdity of emptying the refuse of a great city at its very water gates, to stagnate and pollute the atmosphere, can be remedied, as shown by General Viele’s plan, it is a matter ef wonder that the evil has been allowed to exist so long. It becomes a matter of paramount necessity that our whole system of sewerage should be remodelled, in view of an increasing population and heavy bills of mortality, and it is pretty evident that the work of reconsfruc- tion must begin by adopting some method wheréby the accumulated filth of the sewers shall be disgorged into some other reservoir than the rivers that surround our dwellings and places of business. Tne Irish Church. When the British Parliament meets in No- vember the question of the Irish Church will be brought up, we trust, for final settlement. Herein America we cannot understand how any men of principle can be found to defend it, considering that it does not number within its fold one-eighth of the population. We all know how England proclaims herself the cham- pion of civil and religious liberty. And yet this disgraceful anomaly has been forced upon Ireland since the days of Queen Elizabeth. But we should like to know how the Irish can be considered free if they are compelled to accept a Church establishment which they hate and which would crumble to pieces if ‘unsupported by the bayonets which garrison Ireland. When it was attempted to force the Anglican Church upon Scotland the Scotch rose in arms against it and ultimately tri- umphed. The Irish, more unfortunate still, and smarting under far greater grievances, repeatedly rebelled, but in every case in vain. The question so often battled for among the mountains of Ireland will now be settled with- out bloodshed within the walls of the House of Commons. It is a strange freak of fortune that the lead- ership of the tories at this crisis should rest with Benjamin Disraeli. A Jew by descent if not by creed, he must Iaugh in his sleeve at the strange turn of events which has made him champion of the English Church in Ire- land, in which he probably believes as sin- cerely as he does in the doctrines of Confu- cius, His writings show nothing more marked than his attachment to Judaism over all other feligions. He probably cares as much for the Anglican Church as did his father, who re- peatedly sneers at Christianity in his ‘‘Curiosi- ties of Literature” and reserves all his admi- ration for the sceptic Bayle and the infidel Voltaire. But Benjamin has genius as well as ambition, and, supported as he will be by the po cert! of England, he may hold out that h stronghold of bigotry against more than one assault. Ultimately, however, it must fall, or we shall cease to believe in human pro- gress and onlightenment. NEW YORS. HERALD, "TELEGRAPHIC NEWS FROM ALL PERTS OF TEE WORLD. British Capital for a New York.

Lonpon, Sept. 8, 1868. Much interest is felt, as usual, in the annual con- test between the clipper ships with the first cargoes of the new tea from China. The ship Ariel arrived from Foochow day before yesterday and fairly won the race. The Ariel satied in company with the Taeping and Sir Launcelot. To-day the Spindrift and Sir Launcelot arrived off the mouth of the Thames, the Spindrift beating Launcelot about twenty-four hours. The Tea Clipper Fleet. The fleet of tea clippers contesting the race from Chinato Engiand, in an endeavor to land the three first cargoes, referred to in the cable telegram pub- lished above, consists of twelve fine vessels, two new ships having entered this season, viz.:—The Lahloo and Spindrift, the ‘former butlt by Messrs. Stecle & ©o., Greenock, and the latter by Messrs. Con- nell & Co., Glasgow. The Lahloo is owned by Mr. Rodger, Glasgow (owner of the Taeping and the Min, both successful prize China clippers), and the Spindrift by Mr. Finlay, Kilbirnie (owner of the Serica and the Tartsing, the former also a prize taker). The betting on the two new clippers was very keen, the Spindrift being the favorite when she left London. The Lahloo, however, made three days on the Spindrifton the passage out, having arrived the same day, while she left three days after her. The betting on the race home was about equal, the Lahloo being the favorite. Other three vessels shared pretty equally the betting—the Ariel, the Tae- ping and the Sir Launcelot. The Ariel won the race last year over the Taeping. and the Taeping won it the preceding year over the Ariel. The Serica and Fiery Cross, other two prize takers, also started, The following are the dates of departure of the racing feet from Foo-choo-foo, ether with the names of the owners and builders of the vessels:— May 2s—Ariel, Phillips, London; Steele, builder; built 1865, May 28—Taeping, Rodger, Glasgop; Steele, builder, Mayts—Sir Launcelot, McCunn, Greenock; Stecie, butider, 1865.

Assassination of General Jose Maria Patoni— The Reported Sale of Sinaloa—Fears of Filibusters—News from Lower California Death of an American Nava! Engineer. SAN FRANCISCO, Sept, 3, 1868. Advices from Mazatlan, Mexico, are to the 25th of August, General José Maria Patoni was assassi- nated on the 18th of August in the city of Durango by some officers of the military staif of General Céuto, who was in command of the garrison of that Place. General Patoni had been ordered by General Cauto to report to his military headquartera, and not complying immediately he was shot dead in the house of one of his friends, The murder caused a strong public feeling against General Cauto, On the receipt of the news by General Corona he despatched courier with official instructions to the authorities of Durango ordering General Guevara to take com- mand of that city and to arrest and imprison all the officers implicated in the assassination, including General Oéuto, It was feared that the latter would pronounce against Corona and the supreme goyern- ment of Mexico rather than submit to arrest. The news of the reported purchase of Sinaloa by Secretary Seward created a sensation among the office holders and others opposed to the sale; but the owners of property and the masses of the people would welcome Americans. The press of the coun- try was alarmed about the reporis of fllibustering movements from Cuba, New Orleans and the Rio Grande to the Pacific coast. Generals Santa Anna, faand Marquez are said to understand each other’s movements and that they are determined to destroy the Juarez government. It is reported that Lazoda has issued a strong pronunciamiento against the general government declaring himself free and independent, that he has immense stores of corn and war material and that it is believed the government dare not attack him. Governor Rubi has been officially notified that a vigorous observance of the registration laws must be enforced with regard to the clergy who seek to evade the sane. ‘The Legislature has issued an edict which makes more than half of the people va- grants, by declaring as such all persons who have Do visible means of support. Two Americans have obtained the right to purchase eighty-four thousand acres of land near Port Altala, in Sinaloa. Advices from Lower California are to the 23d of August. Two “reducing mills” in that territory had suspended work on accouut of the high rate of duty on the exportation of silver. It is believed that the Triunfo Company will have to suspend, although they have the richest silver mine in Lower Caltfor- nia. General Divalos, the Military Governor of Lower California, refuses to surrender the control of the affairs of the country to the newly elected civil authorities. ‘The American brig George Emory, which has been employed for a number of years in the coasting trade ‘between San Francisco and Mexican Pacitic ports, has been condemned as utterly worthless, At La Paz the report of the purchase of the State of Sinaloa by Mr. Seward caused considerable discus- sion, and strong sentiments both in favor of and in opposition to the purchase were expressed among different classes of the people. It was reported that the Superintendent of the Chila mine at Alamos had been mortally wounded by another American, who immediately shot himself. Philip C. Riley, Engineer of the United States steamer Lackawanna, died on board the s.eamer Ajax off Carmen Island, August 21, and was buried at La Paz, Lower California.

THE NEW DOMINION. ‘Threatening Speech of the Attorney General of Halifax Upon the Confederation Scheme— Hine of AunexationExcitemeat Among the Biue Noses, HALIFAX, Sept. 3, 1968, Attorney General Wilkins to-day made a violent speech. He said the composition of the Senate was the only barrier to the acceptance of the Confedera- tion by Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia wanted another concession—the liberty to secede when she wished without civil war or bloodshed. He doubted the wisdom of accepting the situation, The new consti- tution was merely a sttll-born —_ abortion, destined to be drowned like @ supernumerary puppy.

It was. the brawny black man, This is our legislation. The great question is,am Ia man? If so, I claim the rights of a man. Democratic principles will never find their level until you find them in the regions of Pluto and Proserpine. The democratic leaders advised the people to remain away from the olls and then blamed them because the negroes held seats on this floor. Every State had been re- constructed under the act which declares that no discrimination shall be made on account of color, race or previous condition, If every scalawag carpet-bagger rides into power on the backs of the black men, ask Congress to take away the ballot, submit the question to Congress or the Convention and we will abide the decision. If this measure 18 carried I will call a convention of my people, send carpet-baggers, Yankees, anybody to the Legislature except Georgians. You may drive us out, but you will light{a torch that can never be put out, and you will make us your foes, I will do all [ can to make my race hate democracy. This thing meansrevoiution.
