The collapse of the rent market is just as we predicted, and landlords now find It quite Impossible, except In rare cases, Influenced by special clrcumstanses, to make leases for the ensuing year except at a considerable reduction ttom the rent figures of last year. The prospects at present are of increasing weakness, tenants exhibiting a most anusual Indifference at this period ot tno season respecting new engagements. During tne next few weeks landlords are likely to be the most eager to rent. The advantages of a movement to tiie suburbs Is exciting much attention among the teuunticlass, and ilie awakening or capitalists to the opportunities of profit promised la this growing exodus of our city population, IT fairly and liberally availed of, operates as a powerful sUnmlaut in that direction.

In the first number or toe American Architect ar.l Builder it is stated that the area or outer wall or tbe vaults under the sidewalk of the new Post Office 619 feet long, by rest thick at tlie basa and 3 eat thick at tae top, and on average height of 29 "'jt is bum ou the Broadway and Park row sides. There are several formulas well known to easl- leers and architects which show that In construct- ng retaining wills for the support of Heavy em- baukmenu, one-third tue total height should tie aken as the required thickness at tne base, whictt may be dlminisiied to oue-sixtu at the top; and as he wall at present ouilt Is only about half that thickness it cannot surprise any one when weight 01 an embankment of ssud nearly thirty feet High Is brought to bear npou It tnat it should necessarily gnccoinb and tna roadway Inevitably follow.

THt FiFTEEHTH HCDSOS CITT, To THE EDITOR OP THB notice in your issue or to-day a communication under the title of "The Fifteenth Amendment and the State Law," wherein Is questioned tho right of negroes to vote la the State of New York under the fifteenth amendment except they possess the freehold required by the State constitution.

If your contributor will bear in mind that the section of ttt9 of the State or New York referred to by mm requires a property qualification only in tue or negroes he will readily see that It Is an abridgment affixed to a particular race. Whereas he amendment says, "The right or citizens of the lulled States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the States or by any State on account of ace, color or previous condition of servitude," no discrimination can be made in this respect In favor or sealant any particularirace or color. Ko reitrlo lon can oy any State be placed upon the negro's right to vote, unless it extends to all citizens aliKc. Tbe property qualification required by tire state constitution Is an abridgment extending only to one race, and not to all citizen! alike, and is, therefore, entirely repugnant not only to the letter, but likewise to thi spirit of the fifteenth amendment, and fall. The negro has just mil and rigat of suffrage tlie.

Tue former commutation on cbe railroad alone was sixty dollars a year, with no leiry commutation at all; although the railroad and lerry arc nniier oae proprietorship. Of tills sixtr dollars two-tuirds or lorty dollars were re- qaired for Uio first six moaihs or tba anaual term-- tbe managers, doubtless, realizing that lew wno it oace would repeat tae experiment without a large rebate 011 tbe second bix inoutbs. Tlie result was ibat new comers irequently commuted ror tue first year, and aKerivards, almost universally, concluded 10 pay taeir twenty-live cents per trip. Taig commutation saved to a person going six times a wees to tbe city so over tue single trip fare, an EdtuiiUie in most cases reduced to by tae ordinary daily sum of a business man's absences tbe usual summer vacation) Troaj ma city during tbe year. Latterly, however, tbis inoae of commutation lias been abolished aad a srsiem of commntition ucsys adopted, oy whicti the commuter saves but $15 55 par annum over the single trip fare, a concession to tiie pubiio coavemenc wiuca is commended oy tbe railroad gentlemen to tae giMteiul admiration or tlio citizens or etateu Island--a commutation Buvmg of two and a hair cents per trip on the transient through fare.
