J. TODD, 88 Fulton street. CITY MXEIHGEKCE Bedford.

There is no more rapidly improving portion of this city than in the 9th ward, in tho vicinity of Bedford. Upon Clinton, Fulton, Clason and other streets thereabout, numerous dwellings of the most commodious stylo are in a state of rapid progress. These mansions are being erected by many of our wealthy and flourishing citizens, who aro determined to escape from the closeness of city life. As eligible lots are procurable in that portion of our city at a very cheap rate, tho owners tako plenty of breathing space for their residences, and tho enjoyments of semi rural life aro attainable at a comparatively low rate. AVhen this section of the city be comes occupied it will bo the most attractive part of Brooklyn.

Clinton avenue, from Myrtle to tho rail road, already presents one of tho most agreeable prospects it is possible to conceive. Combining as it does the conveniences of a city with all the advantages of country life, so enthusiastically sought for by thoso who aro doomed to tho noise, dirt and confusion of a city, wo do not wonder at thc rush which is made to obtain houses there by all whose business will permit them to live at a littlo distance. In a short timo, from present appearances, all tho neighboring streets will bo as thickly studded with beautiful mansions as Clinton avenue. We yesterday took a walk all through this portion of the city aud found surveyors marking out locations for houses which are destined to go up forthwith recent purchasers with their eyes gloating in anticipation over their newly acquired property many splendid mansions in process of being finished and every thing betokening an advancing stago of prosperity and rural felicity. If there be anything which really causes a man to bo envious, it is tho view of such a prospect.

What an agree ablo picture of domestic lifo is it lo see a pretty wifo upon tho piazza, anxiously peering at intervals down the avenue in expectancy of the evening return of her husband, while tho children, accompanied by the spaniel, are gambolling about in frout, ready to run and hasten the near approach of their father while as you pass, your eye unconsciously peers in at the basement window and takes a rapid inventory of neatly arranged furniture, and a well spread board, rejoicing in all the glories of pure white china and spotless tabio linen. These are tho incidents which make life rationally agreeable and these we witnessed in abundance on our return. Then in the evening there aro delightful reunions among thc neighbors, who while away tho timo in music and various other social enjoyments. Peoplo out there do not, as in tho dense and selfish city, tako delight in alleging that they are unacquainted with their next door neighbor It is a comparatively new country, and neighbors feel the necessity and consequent benefit of rendering to each other all the agrcmens of sociality. Commend us, therefore, to the fast growing rural portions of Brooklyn.

Excise case in Queens co. On Friday last, at Flushing, before Justice Wood, came on the case of the Overseers of tho Poor of the town of Flushing vs. Livingston Vandcwater, charged with selling liquor without a license. The case was presented on the part of tho prosecution to the Jury by J. G.

Lamberson, District Attorney. Tho defence was conductod by Wcssell S. Smith, and A. P. Ralph.

Tho defendant produced no witnesses, thc cause was summed up by the respective counsel, the jury retired and after a few minutes absence returned with a verdict of no cause of action. Sudden Change. Yesterday and to day havo witnessed one of tho most sudden changes in the weather, ever experienced in theso diggins. From a sultry moist warmth, the air has become dry and cold, to a very unusual degree. Flannels and thick shawls are not uncomfortable.

Wo yesterday afternoon saw ono of tho new steamers bought by our government, from the builders (who made them originally for tho Mexicans,) sweeping along our Brooklyn shores. She is a fine craft, and lookt as if she could either go it' or como as occasion needed. Greenwood. Wo spent a counlo of hours at Greenwood Cemetery yesterday afternoon.

O'Hagan disappeared, he has at length been traced to New Brunswick, N. whero he died suddenly. He left here on Saturday the 11th of July, and proceeded on foot to Philadelphia. When he reached New Brunswick he called towards evening at the house of a person named Miller, whom he knew, and there drank very profusely of water, while in a hoated state. Thence he proceeded to ono of the hotels in that place, and applied for lodging and upon being refused betook himself to the green near the College, whero ho lay down for the night.

At six o'clock the next morning ho was found stretched lifeless upon tho ground. It was only until quite recently that Mr. Miller discovered that the deceased, who was buried by the public authorities, was O'Hagan and within a day or two he came to this city and represented tho affair to tho Mayor, who has sufficiently identified bun as tho missing man from certain articles found in tho pockets. It is supposed that he died from the effects of intemperato habits and exhaustion. It is satisfactory that tho mystery attending O'Hagan's disappearance should this be cleared up.

We understand that muny violent threats had been made against him on account of various stringent nowspaper publications of which ho was tho author. S3" The distressing and dangerous whooping cough is now largely prevalent amongst tho little ones. Let mothers try tho following 'simple preparation, tho recipe of which was communicated to tho Baton Rougo Gazette by a gentleman in whose family it was used with entire success: Equal portions of linseed oil, honey and New England rum mixed together give ono table spoonful every time the patient coughs eiiects a cure in a few days." An Incipient Cannibal. A colored man who lives most unhappily with, and is taught philosophy by a Xantippe of a wife, near the "four mile house," upon thotJamaica turnpike, and rejoices in tho name of Jaques, yesterday preferred a complaint against his wifo for attempting to wound him with case knife, and then tried to eat him up by biting at his hand. This serious affair will bo investigated to say.

A Star." in the descendant. Francis Degaz, one of the star police, of tho Fifteenth ward station, in New York, has recently got himself into trouble of a very delicato nature in this city. It seems ho came tho evil eye" over a damsel named McGce, and the affair resulted in such a manner that tho Superintendents of the Poor were called upon to interfere. The new candidate for tho honors of paternity was ruthlessly cast into jail, whero he has been for about two weeks. Yesterday two of tho magistrates proceeded with Degaz to the house where tho mother was undergoing her confinement.

Her testimony was taken and an order of affiliation made. After a refusal by both parties lo remedy the difficulty by means of matrimony, Degaz was recommitted to jail until he cun indemnify the county Tho proceedings in the State Convention are quite devoid of interest, just now. The members aro discussing the Judiciary question. A vehv i thick. The Hartford tells tho following good story of the Signor Blitz, which displays his dexterity and good humor in tho most cm iuble light.

Blitz's jokes arc as harmless as they are good, and wo dare say the clergyman alluded to was the first to laugh at tho ono under notice A clergyman came into tho public house where ho was thc was pres eut, commenced talking pretty severely against the trickery. The Signor bore it very good naturcdlv and, stepping up to the clergyman, expressed his' opinion that such language came with an ill graco from one who had a pack of cards in his pocket aud who had probably como there for tho purposo of gambling This chargo was received with great surprise by tho gentlemen present and the parson was in a towering passion at tho insinuation. The Signor reiterated his charge, and agreed to prove it. The clergyman defied his examination, but lo and behold 1 he pretended to take from the parson's bosom, a pack of cards another pack was found in his hat, and a box of dice in his coat pocket If he had been caught with a sheep in his pocket, ho could not have been more surprised and joining in tho general laugh, ho evinced a determination to be out of the Signor's company as soon as possible The Sea Serpent. The Salem Register stated that the first appearance of tho monster for the season was in Salem Harbor.

It tells tho story thus: Ono of our fishermen who has always been incredulous as to thc existence of tho sea serpent, insists that ho saw hismajesty, humps and all, on Friday last and no mistake. Thc monster permitted some sixty feet of his immenso length to be leisurely examined for the space of ten minutes, as ho lay reposing in the water, between Fort Point and Aqua off Salem Harbor. General appearanco as often described. Our informant is confident that the Leviathan which ho saw was thc veritable sea serpent, and nothin' else." His attention was first attracted by tho disturbance of tho waters which were so much agitated as to rock tho boat violently. Soon after the humps appeared, and about sixty feet of tho length of his snake ship were displayed for full ten minutes, when the monster slowly sank and disappeared.

Rank Locoiocoism. If tho following passage from Paley's Philosophy had appeared in tho wri tings oi Georgo Bancroft, tho whigs one aud all would have denounced it as rank locofocoism It is a mistake to suppose that the rich man maintains his servants, tradesmen, tenants, aud laborers tho truth is, they maintain him. It is their industry which supplies bis table, furnishes his wardrobe, builds his houses, adorns his equipage, provides his amusements. It is not his estate, but the labor employed upon it, that pays his rent. All that ho does is to distribute what others produco which is the least part of the business." An eye witness tells us tho following talc A few days since, a jolly son of the ocean was about being put on board an outward bound ship, for which he had previously entered, when he asked leave to havo another run up town.

Being informed that ho could not be permitted to go, as the ship was about sailing, he sung out to a man on the wharf, an entire stranger to him, Here, my throwing him a silver dollar, speno. tuai iur mo i a j. for you auother Jack never gives up while there is a shot in the locker. Coquettes among the jie creatures." That omnipresent author, somebody," is responsible for many true sayings among others tho following There seems to be an idea prevalent that coquetry exists only in tho gentler sex. This is evidently erroneous; there is as much of it in one as the other.

A gentleman who pays particular attention to a lady merely for the sake of the excitement of tho thing, and to flatter his own pride by her return of his attention, is a confirmed coquette. Sv.Mr.vTiiiEs the Farmer. The Wilkesbarrc Farmer asks a very serious question, in a very brief and quaker style. Who will answer it?

Bos ton, and Philadelphia, at from threo dollars and eighty cents to four dollars per barrel I Are there any panic sympathies for them An old Democrat, (says tho New Haven Register,) who has kept a ological tablo of tho number of times tho country has been ruined' by Democratic legislation, avers that this is thc forty ninth event of that nature, and thinks it beats tho old boy how the country stands it Tho fact is, tho country is ruined all tho while" when the dear whigs are not in power.

O'Sullivan, Asst. Engineer, which re suited, ns shown by a communication sent us from Mr. MeAlpin, in the honorable acquittal of tho defendant, and his restoration to his position on tho works. Juvenile starring. Yesterday afternoon while we were returning to the city alontr Myrtle avenue.

we observed a crowd of persons at the corner of Cumberland street, and upon going up found that it was caused by a small boy, named Abraham Colycr, about six years of age, having been conducted homo after being stabbed with a penknife, by another boy of the same age, named Jerome Van Low. It seems that with some other companions, they were driving a cow over somo vacant grounds in tho vicinity, when Jerome took offenco and inflicted a severe aiid dangerous wound under Abraham's ear, causing a profuse flow of blood. Tho wounded lad was conveyed home and medical attendance procured and wo believe, though apprehensions wore felt for his safety, he is out of danger.

He wandered up the Alleghany about nine miles, where he procured askiffin a great hurry, stating that he wished to cross the river as fast as possible, as there were four constables after him.

jraem; is.u rijtrc Jllisynotatiun, W.1 lathing Ail Elective i HIi Several of the prints are uttering declamatory articles on the subject of t'ne question, now before tho State Convention, of an Elective Judiciary. We have, however, seen no single attempt at a chain of reasoning, of any kind, in behalf of such an innovation. The reasoning, indeed, is all on the other side. Tho opponents of the elective system being applied to judges, have thill part of the business all to themselves. It must be a weak side which cannot ailbrd BOmo little show of logic and argument! 'XJjc 'li'j eitMirj A liberal and gentlemanly whig Xew England whig, withal acknowledged to us yesterday, that, although in former years he had been one the ultra advocates of the U.

S. liunk, and tho indignant opponents of Gen. Jackson, he now feels glad that the Independent Treasury system bus been established, with every prospect of its rcmaiuhrr the custom Of tho land forever hereafter The reasons our whig friend gave, were the reasons of truth the reasons advanced by Mr. Van Burcn, and, later, by tho democrats in Congress "Yc join the Boston Post in its expectation that the principal good to result from this bill, will be from its fundamental principle that the U. 5.

moneys shall be kept slriclly for jmttc purposes that is. instead of being allowed to go into banks, ono or many, and there used as a basis of discount to any portion of the community, thatitshall be retained by the agents of the government, and at all times be ready for the wants of tho nation. This idea was a favorite one with Jcflersou. As early as 1803, and in a letter to Mr. Gallatin, while enjoying the so much vaunted benefit of a natioualbank, he asks the Secretary of the Treasury whether he could not then make ei beginning towards an independent use of our own moneys." Tho evils of the old system of allowing the public money to be loaned, are many and evident.

In the future, as it has been, there will bo times when largo amounts or the public funds, for short periods, may bo collected at particular points and if the banks were allowed to use them, they would muko tho most of them, and thus increase the natural obstructions of trade. Heretofore this has had a powerful agency in stimulating enterprise into rashness, and thus making our commercial revulsions more severe than otherwise they would have been. This has been frankly admitted by those who favored the loan system but was supposed to be compensated by the facility with which tho public funds could be transferred, through the agencies of banks, from one point to another. But this argument has lost its force. It is an obsolete idea that a national bank is necessary to regulate exchanges and during the time tho Independent Treasury was in operation the necessary transfers were niado with perfect Bafety and convenience.

The Independent Treasury system is pre eminently an equal system, for it favors no classes it is a just system, for what can be more proper than that the public funds should be kept for Li: puouc purposes it is a sale system, for however dis astrous commercial revulsions in fntm mnv however wide may be a suspension of specie payments, the government moneys will be free from them. And it is eminently a constitutional system. In adopting it, congress have given effect to tho public will, and proved truo to the principles of democracy. Female labor, The Y. News intimates that the sewing girls of that city are about holding a mass meeting for the purpose of showing thc old clo' merchants that they have some li left, and that they will not be deait with so thamefully for tho future.

All kinds of extortion and low meannesses arc practised towards these workwomen by the clothiers. Old gossips may prate about virtue and morality, but if any one will watch tho movements of these patient and gentle X. Y. sewinjr girls from day to day, and tell why they prefer the crust of bread and pallet of straw to silks and satins, luxury and fine living, they will be wiic indeed. Xo wonder the pest houses and brothels in that city are increasing in number every day no wonder that so many are, seeking refuge from poverty and distress in tlmo places, while such unrighteous treatment is dealt out to them.

Something should bo done, and done quickly, to remedy the evil. Return of Jlr. McLanc, We observe that the. merchants of New York aro making arrangements to welcome Mr. McLane, our Minister at Loudon, with a sumptuous entertainment on his return, in testimony of the value they put upon his exertions in bringing the Oregon question to a settlement, and maintaining thc peace of the world This is very well.

The high moral influence of showing statesmen and diplomatists in every possible way, the estimate that thc people place on labors for peace, is incalculably good. Let Mr. McLuno have a Our good neighbor of the Slur dampens the credit due its enlightened judgement as evinced in sundry late anti tariff articles, by such a mvsticul bit of talk as its Free Trade, of yesterday. There may be much virtue in an 4 if there may be virtue, too, in interrogatives. But an argument made npofifs aud interrogatives, is marvellous likely to smack of the writer not knowing what he wants to say.

See, now hero is a very elegant extract I It is from tho Y. Sun Thc dailies had for years jogged on in an old post road, when, to their utter amazement, tho great Sun of New York (having now a daily circulation of over copies) rolled up the glorious horizon of the poor man's life, shedding its broad beams apon the minds of tho great masses, and pouring Hoods of light into thc dwellings of humanity, emphatically shining for all 1 We join the limning Post in its incredulity at the news, by express from Albany, that Mr. Tall mage has made another sp, ni tlc Convention, but that ho did not refer in any way to tho French Revolution. I nerc must certainly be some mistake in the report. The schooner Gilbert llalfield, Captain Huffman, arrived yesterday I'jom New Orleans, was boarded between the Tortugas and Cuba, by the (J.

This is distardly perpetrators should be punished practised yesterday somewhere of the probability of the passage oi'the new tariff i bill. The market had fluctuated but littlo since the sailing of the last packet. The debale on the Sugar Duties in the British Parliament, occupied two days, and the Government scheme triumphed by a majority of 2C5 to 135, nearly two to one. This result virtually abrogates tiie monopoly, and places sugar in the same cato gory as com. Sir Hubert Peel gave tho Ministers a "onerous suuuort.

and llm irri.iiss nf majority may be traced to that circumstance. England is going on nobly, in her progress toward Prec trade. Shall ice lag behind Another attempt has been made on the life of tho King of the French. While seated at a window in the Palace of the Tuillcries to listen to a concert performed by the National Guards, on the 30th a man in tiic crowd drew a pistol, and fired two shots at the King. Ho missed him, of course and also those in the vicinity and was immediately arretted.

His name was Joseph Henri. He said he was weary of life, and resorted to this crimo as a means of meeting death. A Paris paper, the Courier Francois, says that the Mexican Government has demanded of Franco and England their mediation to put an end to the War with the United States, and that tho departure of the Psycho for Vera Cruz has been delayed some days in order that it may carry tho answer to this proposition. Flummery At Berlin on the 22d, Mr. Wheaton, tho American Minister took his leave of tho King of Prussia, and Mr.

Donelson was received in private audience, and presented his credentials. Louis Bonaparte, ex king of Holland, died at Leghorn of apoplexy, on tho 24th aged 67. The Pope of Rome has granted a general amnesty for all political offenders. In reference to tho Crops, and the Grain trade, thc Liverpool Times of tho 4th says A farther fall in the value of Grain has taken place, and harvest operations are proceeding rapidly the quality of the Wheat is finer, and the yield greater than last year. Since the Great Western has sailed, the arrival of produce has been small.

Few public sales aro at present declared. The same paper states that three hundred barrels of American flour reached Nottingham from Liverpool a few days previous, and was immediately sold at about eight dollars per barrel. A Stiuxhe kind of Preacher. They have a singular kind of a preacher in New Orleans, if we may believo tho Sunday Atlas. That paper re m.irks,that"hebclongstonodenomination!.tbscribes to no creed, but preaches the gospel on his own hook, and with great talent and eloquence.

Meet him in the St. Charles, and ho will take a julep with you, smoke a regalia, play a gamo of billiards, beat you a string of ten pins, and, if not engaged to prcacli a fccmiuii, will accompany you tliw tre." Preaching, ono Sunday, after tho last hymn had been sung, and just before pronouncing tho benediction, ho said My brethren, I have the pleasure of giving notice that Mr. Booth, the tragedian, has arrived in town, and will perform in his great part of Ilichurd tho Third, this evening at the St. Charles theatre. Mr.

Booth is considered a great man, and a very excellent actor, and those who wish to see a good performance, cannot do better than to go and see him. I shall, also, with the leave of Divine Providence, give a lecluro in this house, at the same time, and such as prefer to come to church, 1 shall be happy to see present." He concluded with the usual form of benediction. Rumors of ruin (superinduced by the passage of tho democratic Tariff act) come upon us thick and fast. Tho last aud most touching case is given to the world by the Providence Sentinel, which is, that an old lady with a wagou load of huckleberries got as far as Olneyville towards that city, on Thursday morning, when sho happened to see three or four men with their heads together talking about something. She rode up to them and eagerly inquired what was the news.

Tho Tariff bill has passed," said one of them. Tho Tariff passed Lord o' massy said tho old lady then I might as well go home with my huckleberries And then turning her horso homeward, she rodo sorrowfully off, muttering occasional curses against tho Tariff and the locofocos, and wondering what in tho word would become of her huckleberries. IIoNort the Brave. On Saturday last, says the Globe, as a boy about fourteen years of age, named Williams, was sailing' on a narrow plank in the North River, near Twelfth street, he accidentally fell off, and, not knowing how to swim, nor having presence of mind enough to seize hold of the plank from which he had fallen, he was sinking the second time, when, Michael Connolly, now livinir at the corner of West and Thirteenth street, but formerly i of tho Eighth Ward, to whom the alarm had been friven. nlllllTod ill.

KR nm trt 1: juuill, seized him and placed h'nn upon tho plank from from which he had fallen, and propelled tho boy and his pino carriage to the shore, whero ho was hailed with shouts of applauso by numerous spectators. DuopuoniA. A writer in thc National Intelli gencer says that spirit of hartshorn is a certain remedy fur the bite of a mad dog. Tho wounds, he adds, should be constantly bathed with it, and three or four doses, diluted, taken inwardly during the day. The hartshorn decomposes chemically thc virus insinuated into the.

wound, and immediately alters aud destroys its deleteriousness. The writer, who resided in Brazil for somo time, first tried it for the bite, of a scorpion, aud found that it removed pain and inflammation almost instantly. Subsequently he tried it for tho bite of thc rattlesnake with similar success. At the suggestion of the writer, an old IHend and physician in England tried it in cases of hydrophobia, and always with success. IJ Watkr Works.
