The Union berates the London Times in return for the latter’s recent abuse and mis- representation of the United States; rejoices over the political redemption of Chicago; ex- poses the hollowners of Governor Reeder’s professions ef devotion to the Nebraska bill and its principles, by reference to his effort to get into the delegate seat from Kansas by virtue of a mob-eleotion ; and is exceedingly gratified with the Louisiana and Mississippi elections, the Democrats having swept every thing in the last mentioned State, and every thing but a single member of Congress in the former. The Intelligencer publishes a union-saving letter from a venerable subscriber, wherein it is assumed that the extension of slavery, if not stopped, is te be the death of the Union, and laughs at the notion as a chimera. The Lteliigencer on information from some person represented to be well posted in diplo- metic secrets, contradicts the statement in the London lettertothe North American which it published yesterday, that there has been an angry correspondence between the United States and Britain (on the latter’s part) with reference to the Clayton-Balwer treaty. Time will show that our neighbor’s informer has led itiate error. ee New Books We are indebted to Taylor & Maury for copies of the following new publications : Tunes Sexmons ; On “ Pharisaism and Fast- ing;’’ On * The True and the False in Prev- alent Theories of Divine Dispensations ;”’ and On“ The Life and Character of Hon Wm. Cranch, L.L.D.,” &&. By Rev. Mon- eure D. Conway, Pastor of the Unitarian ehureh of Washington, D.C. Washington : Publishers cf the first, Buell & Blanchard; of the second, Taylor & Maury; of the third, Franck Taylor. With the exception of the last mentioned, which is an eloquent and forcible tribute to the memory of one of the best men and most learned, conservated, useful, and clear-headed jurists the United States have yet produced, these diseougses are controversial. In them, the cudgel is taken up in behalf of the views of the author's church with great earn- estues?, cnd wielded with great vigor, at times pretty much after Pat's rule at Donnybrook Pair—* Wherever ye see a head, hit it.” Mr. Conway is unquestionably a young gen- tlemen of fine abilities and much energy of professional character, a very independent thinker, and graphic indeed in grouping his thoughts so that they may at once be compre- bended. His controversial sermonscan hardly fail to brivg him shortly into a prominent po- sitioa as an Unitarian divine, and to attract much more of pnblic atiention to his church ia this city than it has cf late received.

This work is designed for beginners in the Greek tongue, teaching its first principles only, and avoiding the practice of essaying to make new diecoverics in the language, so common to new works of the kind, whether written by the competent or the incompetent. The aim of the author was evidently to avoid confusing the pupil with the magnitude and intrteacy of his undertaking, on setting out to master the Greek language, than which no other is mere replete witb literary beanties and treasures. His purpose is a commendable one. The fact that his work 1s in print, is proof that he has performed his tazk well; as nething of the sort is allowed to see the light from under the hand of a member of the re- ligieus order to which the author belongs, until after having successfully undergone the ordeal of thorough criticism from learned and most competent brethren of the society. — PERSONAL. +++» Hon.

WASHINGTON NEWS AND GossIP. The Thunderer.—As we expected, the press of this country seems determined to laugh at the insane ravings with which the London Times announces the sailing of the 400-gun fleet for our waters, Had there been the elightest ground for the volley of vulgar abuse and the avalanche of baldly false allegations which the Times took oocasion to hurl atthe United States, the reception of its article and the news of the sailing of the fleet hither- ward, would have been different. Their utter falsehood, as well as that of the pretence un- der which Britain seeks to bluster, us how- ever, is the key to the fact that nobody's equanimity has been disturbed by all this “cutting” up on the other side of the herring pond. Instead of there being expeditions now fit- ting out inour ports to invade Ireland, Ja- maica and Central America, which this Gov- ernment will not or cannot suppress, as tho Thunderer alleges, there has been no previous time, for years past, when there has existed so little disposition on the part of any of our population or on that of refugees among us, to invade the territorial rights of others. So far as the conduct of our people and Government in the current Russian war is con- cerned, it embraces an instance of good faith on our part unexampled in the history of nations Thus, with thousands of ports, and every fa- cility to that end, no privateers have been Atted out for either side in this country. The only effort whatever to violate the pledge of strict neutrality under which we rest, was that of the British Government itself, to recruit an army here for the Crimea, so promptly put down by our authorities, and so far, punished, as far as the law allows. On the strength cf the silliest ramor imagi- nable, the British Consul at New York caused to be ‘Iibelled’’ a bark being prepared fur the China trade; and when this Government had promptly vindicated the integrity of its neutrality in this war by acting on the mis- representation of the functionary mentioned above, the counsel of the latter almost as promptly admitted that he had lodged erro noous information, and was satisfied that the vessel’s errand was a lawful one, and that hor cargo and equipments were only such as prop- es to her contemplated voyage— in the China trado So much for the “‘ Thunderer’s”’ silly allega- tions with reference to what is goirg on in the United States, designed to set at nought the letter or spirit of our neutrality laws, to in jure Engiaud in her commerce, or colenies, or at home. Now, in reply to the Thunderer’s jeremiad over our propensity to annex contiguous ter ritory, it is surely sufficient to point to the faet that we have mae no annexation not in conformity with justice and the principles of international law. We defy the world to place a finger on any instance to the con- trary! On the other hand, where in the world has she a single possession that she has ac- quired in a similar way? Beyond the Cape ef Good Hope she annexes, annually, more territory than we have acquired since we be- caine anation. At this moment the beggared princes, whose territories she has seized, are wandering, penniless, in every clime; and we have reason to know that there are now at least half a dozen of them in England sueing for their just rights. Yet she assumes to read us a lesson on the moral justice of nations! The Neutrality Law.—The New York Com- mercial Advertiser very properly suggests the propriety «f a modification of the neu- trality law, tyhich would better enable the Government to prevent the succeseful de- parture of filibustcring expeditions from this country, by land and sea. The only law to thatend in existence is that of 1818, which is to punish offences against our duty of neutra!- ity, &c , and is not preventive, unfortuaately. During the Canadian rebellion, (as itistermed,) when there was a disposition of our turbulent and reckless to rush over our Northern fron- tier to take part in those difficulties, Congress passed a special act, which expired with the oceasion for it. Since then we have had no preventive act, though one is sadly needed indeed, Our neighbors in Mexico, in the West Indies. and in Central and South Amer- ica, are so weak that we have not only to pre- serve the ordinary neutrality of other govern- mente, but are compelled to exercise a sort of police jurisdiction iu their favor, lest portions of our unemployed and adventurous popula- tion may ruzh out in a night and commit tres- pass upon them. After the French consul at San Francjsso had put it out of the power of this Government to keep Walker, for instance, from doing further harm than he had perpe- trated in Sonora, by refusing to obey the man- date of the court calling on him to testify against Walker, thero was no law whatever by which he and his followers could be pre vented from leaving California to prey on Central America, as our citizens have consti- tutionally the right to bear arms, and to go singly, whither they will, on shipboard or otherwise. He und they left California for their last expediticn in that way, in which, for want of law to prevent them, the Govern- ment could not interfere in their movements, whatever may have been the suspicions of its officers in that region as to their intentions. The Return of the Thunder-gust.—Our friends of the Intelligencer in their contro- versy with the Uxion, apparently to worry the latter into naming the case in which the Attorney General haz given an opinion con- cerning the legal status, or effect of the Mis- souri compromise restriction, seem bent on bringing back the thunder cloud and storm originally raised in Mouse and Senate on the introduction into the Nebraska bill of the re- peal of the legislation above referred to. Now, in at loast a dozen cases the Supreme Court had decided that what is known as the “‘ Missouri com promise,’’ was of no legal force whatever, being a nullity in law; as is known to all lawyers familiar with the reports of that tribunal The proposition in the Nebraska bill was then merely to repeal that which was in itself void and of no effect, according to the decision of the highest tribunal known to our system. Thereupon nearly the whole North in Congress weut into epileptic fits of horror at the thought cf so doing, as rabid caninei- ties go into apasma at the sight of water. The elections of this season have done much in- deed to restore the rabid ones on this matter to their senses. But our respected neighbors seemed bent a day or two since on bringing back (upon this official opinion) the thunder gust (ur epidemic of rabidness) above referred to. The fact that the Union so far refuses to comfort the Intelligeneer by naming the case, satisfies us that it is merely some private case depenting before the Departments bore, whieh not yet being definitely disposed of, injury may be done tothe claimant or to the Gov- ernment, (in ths particular case) by promul- ging in its present state, facts involved in. it. This, we take to be the key to the whole con. troversy, to which ourestimable neighbor has been devoting its loading columns. To be Hung.=Private Wm. J. Dunn, of company G, mounted riflemon, U.S. A., was re- cently tried by eourt martial at Fort McIntosh, Texas. Capt. Thomas Claiborne, Jr., of the mounted rifles, being president of the court. The charges were, for mutiny and the murder of Sergeant John Williams of the same regi- ment and company, by shooting him with a revolver. The court found the prisoner guilty as charged, and sentenced him to be hung at such time and place as the President may ap- point. The murder, which was an atrocious one, was committed at the camp of the com- pany at Limpa Creek, El Paso road, Texas, on or about the 30th of Junc last. The President has directed the sentence to be carried out at Fort McIntosh, on the fourth Friday next suc- ceeding the reception of his confirmation of it (the sentence) at that post. Charges Dismissed—We hear that the the Court of Inquiry of which Brigadier General Henry Stanton, Colonel and As- sistant Quartermaster General, U.S. A, was president. recently in sossion at Fort Colum- bus, having reported, after due investigation, that there exists no grounds for the trial of Lieut. Henry M. Lazelle, of the Ist Infantry, U.S. A, by court martial under virtual (but mistaken) charges made against him by Lieut. Alexander 8. Webb, 4th Artillery, further proceedings are not to be taken in the case. Bachel Coming !—We were favored yester- day afternoon with a call from the agent of the Rachel company, who informs us that we may expect, not long hence, a visit from “ the divine Rachel,’ (as the ecstatic press eall her,) who proposes to perform one, two, or, possibly, three nizhts, in the Federal city, opening in her great part of Camille.

The Hancock was in the waters of Ja for some months. The Japanese got to be aite surly before the vessel left. hile at Bakodadi the officers wished to pyrohage some fish, but the Japanese said they had none for sale, though fish are most abundant in all of sepee - The officers then intimated heir intention to catch fish in the bay with their net, and the aaaeaee prohibited their fishing, and threatened them if the prohibition —— coe disregarded.

These latter said that the Russian fleet, after ha’ been blook- aded by the Allies in the Bay of Castre, had in a fog, and went through a difficult pass between the island of Saghalien and the main land into the river Amoor. The veesels were anchored at a sti fortification said to contain fifteen tho men. There were seven vessels in all; several three corvettes, and one steamer. There isa bar at the entrance to the Amoor. and the Russian frigates had to be lightened and to have their masts taken out, before they could enter. The Hancock was about to enter. when she was requested to keep off, and she did s0. The Russians said that if the Allied fleet should attempt to enter the river, they would pay se- verely for their boldness. After leaving the Amoor, the Hancock went through the Ochotek Sea to its northermost extremity, meeting a any whaling vessels, which had most!: ll.

At 8 o’clock last evening, we received in- formation that a most horrid tragedy had been perpetrated on the West Side. wife had been murdered by her husband, in cold blood, and the latter had afterwards taken. or attempted to take, his own life. Repairing at once to the police station house of that di- vision, we found the dead body of the man, Edgar E. Ingersol!, lying upon the floor. A ball discharged from one of Allen’s patent re- volvers had penetrated the left breast, imme- diately over the upper portion of the heart, from which deeth had followed. Ingersoll and his wife have not lived hap- ily together. ngersoll went to the house where his wife boarded. Mrs. Ingersoll happened tobe stand- ing at the door, and, yielding to his earnest entreaties, started out for a walk with him. They had gone but a few steps from the house, when Ingersoll drew a revolver from his ket and discharged it at her breast. The 1 Look effect, and the lady fell. He imme- diately turned the weapon to his own breast, and firing a second time, fell himself mortally wounded. The neighbors hearing the report of fire-arms, rushed to the spot. The lady, with life not yet extinct, was conveyed to her boarding house, and her husband to the sta- tion house, where he expired eoon after ar- riving. We visited the other victim of this awful tragedy at her boarding house on Peoria street She was still living and able to speak, though bot permitted to do so by the attendant physi- cian. Sho appeared very pale, and was greatly agitated by excitement or fear of death. The external hemorrhage from the wound in her breast had been very slight, but she was bleeding internaily, and it was the opinion of all present that she could not eurvive. The bali entered near the right breast, and re- mains in the chest. Ingersoll does not appear to have been ad- dicted to habits of intemperance in drink. He was formerly a cierk, but for some time has held the appointment from the Common Council of tender of Randolph street bridge. He was a man about 29 years of age. Mrs. Ingersoll is a lady of fair and pleasing countenance, only nineteen or twenty years of are Her maiden name was Elizabeth E. ariner.
