Troublesome duty.

--In addition to the other duties of the Mayor (always onerous,) has been imposed that of issuing passports to nonresident sojourners who evince a desire to repair to more congenial latitudes during the pendency of the present troubles. On Thursday the Mayor deputed Capt. Seal, of the police, to attend to the matter, and that officer remained in the Court-room the entire day. Yesterday, while the Mayor was holding his Court, an individual applied for an exodus pass whom the Mayor would have been entirely justifiable in seizing. The fellow would have sold readily at $10 per pound as guano. He was more odoriferous than the most highly scented Peruvian, Jarvis Island or Manipulated. A good many of the immigrants conform to this description. Let them go.
