VOICE OF THE PEOPLE. Call to Abate a Nuisance. ‘The present unhealthy condition of the vacant Jot on the corner of Eleventh street and University place is referred to by a correspondent as dermanding instant action on the part of the health authorities. Our correspondent gays nothing but what is true and ‘hts notice should be heeded. Fourth Avenue and the Bariem Railroad.

A Call on the Vigilance Committee. A“Merchant” wants to know whether there is sucha body as a vigilance Committee in this city; and if there be, he believes it high time for it to in- tertere, that “one of the most notorious murderers and robners on the Continant,” Steve Voyle, alias Gus Shaw, lateiy arrested, be not treated to an illusory sentence, but be sent back w Michigan to be tried, convicted and punished for murder. “Men of New York,” says “Merchant,” “vigliance committee, if you are live men, bestir yourseives.” Reading Rooms for Boys.

NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1869—TRIPLE SHEET. THE SPRING TRADE. Our Metropolis as the Grand National Empo- rium of Trade—The Wholesale Trade Open- fing with Most Encouraging Prospects—Prices pared with List Year—Iuaugura- the Spring Retail City Trade Under lost Fuvorable Auspicen, ‘The seasons which roll on with the varied year come not more surely and uniformly than the sea- sons of trade, We are just now entering on the spring trade. Seeing that winter is not yetover this might seem a misnomer, but it must be borne in Mmipa that we are a fast, go-ahead people, not given to dilatoriness, but to taking time by the forelock, And thus spring trade in the metropolis ts ushered in with the present month. With some branches of trade the spring wade opens on the first of this month, with others it does not begin till the middie of the month, and there are few that are not under assured headway before the advent of positive spring. The prospect of a good spring trade is eminently encouraging—has not been better, in fact, for years. The new government soon to be inaugurated ‘at ‘Washington; the hearty co-operation that Congress has already evinced with the policy of the Incoming administration; the prospect of reform and economy in the management of our political affairs; the cheer- ing hope of an era of wiser legislation and leas reck- Jess expenditure of the national finances and less corruption and schemes of spoliation, and speedy adiaission of all the Southern States into the Union, from which the suicidal! legislation of partisan piup- derers and jobbers has so long excludgd them—ail these have infused @ general confidence everywhere, have given a new impetus to trade, roused our wholesaie merchants to renewed activity and en- larged purchases, and, in brightening the future Pathway of trade of retail merchants coming here to make their purchases, induce them to 40 60 in the fullest assurance of speedy and satisfactory sales, What more pleasant picture of the prospects of spring trade can be drawn than this? Is 1t to be wondered atthat our city, the great head centre of trade in this country, the great commercial emporium of this Western Continent, should,be so stirred with un- wonted animation; that unusual sctivity should show itself at our wharves im the unloading of mon- ster ships, newly arrived from foreign ports; that the most lively commotion should prevail at the Custom House and bonded warehouses im paying duties and getting goods from bond; thay our mam- moth wholesale stores, in unpacking and invoicing and arranging for sale their multifarious and rich im- ported fabrics, should be bursting with preternatural liveliness, and that our retail stores should be hurry- ing off at ruinous prices their old stocks of goods to Make room for goods newer and brighter, and from bringing new modes and fashions with them more in demand and commanding readier sales? It is not to be wondered at; and now, having thus answered this question, we will proceed to write specifically of the leading different branches of trade and the pleasing and lively prospect ahead, showlug beyond question that the present spring trade will be unuaually Jarge in Dearly every distivctive branch. DRY GoUDs. ‘What would the world be without dry goods? As well ask what the world would be without air or water. Dry goods have become almost as essential to modern existence. They embrace an extended catalogue of our civilized wants, and increusing ‘wealth and refinement constantly imerease the cata- logue. .A most interesting chapter might be written on the progress made in the manufacture of dry goods; how human ingenuity has been taxed in de- vising fabrics for our use and comfort; how the vast resources of nature have been drawn upon to con- tribute the required material; how the illimnit- able wealth of art has been made auxiliary to the perfecting of this material, and how study and science are still exhausting themselves in the effort to compass the utmost possible variety, beauty and perfection in this grand specialty of human wants and products. Everybody must have dry goods, the poorest as well as the richest. The demand 1s uni- versal. New York 19 the great depot for supplying this demana in this country. In dry goods the spring trade _— on the first of this month, and with each passi day the tide of trade increases in flow, and wijl iucrease tll the ebb, which wbout the middie of June. During the early winter months importers were selecting their foreign fabrics, the taportations being muinly from Kngland, France and Germany, and each striv- ing to outrival the other in the extent and variety of their selections. Goods of domestic manufacture Were also thas early welected. Meanwhile nts of jobbing houses were travelling over every State in the Union securing purchasers, All the goods have arrived; the scattered horde of “drummers” haa returned to the city, and the welcome purchasers are already beginning to make their appearance. We are now speaking of the wholesale trade. Mer- chants are beginning to flock to the hotels. The first arrival of merchants ts from the South and West. Later they will in to come from the interior and distant sections of this State and Pennsylvania and contiguous States and the Eastern States. The average prices will not vary much from those of ‘Yast year. in some lines of domestics there is a comparative scarcity, but tt is thought the supply will very nearly equal the demand, Altogether, 4 much better trade is anticipated than iast sprin Our wholesale merchants are showing more leniency im sales as regards time of yment, ‘The — credits given before the war will not be revived; but to well accredited buyers the most ac- y terms will chants. While immediately after the war none of these coula buy exc for cash, it ia found now, especially a8 they had @ good cotton crop last year, that they pay Well and promptly. However, our Merchants are not aisposed to be reckless. The severe iessons of the past have taught them caution. Formerly the spirit of rivalry exercised ttwelf apon the special pomt to see which coum! sell the most ois. Now the chief rivairy is to secure safe sales. irchasers are also more cautious. And thus, with judicious caution on each side, and with abundant goods and sellers and buyers, and with every pros- pect of a lively and gratiying trade, opens the spring trade in dry goods, SILK GOODS, ‘The spring trade in this class of goods—a very large trade, and, a8 ladies ure the principal buyers, rded in their eyes as important as ft is mdispen- sable—does not open till abow the middle of this month.

In November, 1867, Kelley aud Sadler were to row for the championship of the Thames and 2000, and after the men had watted at the start- ii post a considerable time the referee vs Kelley orders to row over the course after he (Kelley) had cominunicated the message to Sadler. Kelley rowed over the course and was awarded the stakes by the referee: but on Sadler bringing an action against the stakeholder for his own share of the stakes before Lord Cnief Justice Cobckurn and @ jury i March of last year, Sadier was awarded his own stake, the jury fiuding that the order of the referee had not been properly conveyed to him. The judge reserved a point of law as to whether the deci- ston of the referee ts Gnal, and in Easter Term @ role nist Was granted, on which the court was now to make It absolute and enter a verdict for the dev fendant.

The case having been fully argued on both sides the Chief Jus- tice said they bad come to the conclusion to di the rule, There was no race; no start, such as would warrant the referee, in the exercise of a just and honest authority, to award the stakes. According to the trae merits of is there was neither nor Face, and consequently no authority on the part of the arbitrator to award the stakes. He thought, there- fore, the verdict ought to stand. The other ji concurred, Judgment was ly entered Sadler, epproving the previous finding of the jury. Billiards. There appears to be some uncertainty whether the deciding contest between Dion and Foster will come off as announced, owing to some misunder- standing having arisen between the latter and his backer.

Pedestrian bumbngs are on the increase and must be discountenanced, else the sport will retain but few substantial supporters.
