Vienna, Aug. 12, 1843, Letter from our Chargé at Vienna—The return of the Emperor to Vienna—Enthusiastic Reception by the People—Civit War in Hungary, I enclose you the within letter, which our minister hore, Mr. Stiles, has furnirhed me with. It showa the atand he has taken in regard to the interference of the ‘United States government in the affairs of Europe, and it agrees so well with that stated in your own columns, that] am sure you will be willing to pub- ish it. LETTER OF HON, W. H. STILES, AMERICAN MINISTER, TO | UPON THE INTERFERENCE | THE JOURNAL OF VIENNA, OF THE UNITED STATES IN FOREIGN AFFAIRS “Mr, Ep:ror—By your paper of this morning | am @dvired of a movement now progrersing in this city, so unfounded in itself, and so derogatory to the character of the country which | have the honor to represent, that | feel that I should be wanting in official duty ‘were | to suffer it to pass unnoticed and unexposed. “It appears that certain individuals, calling them- @elves Americans, bave arrived in this city, pretend- dng to have brought from the United States a sum of money for the University of Vienna, and arsuming to tender arms and pecuniary assistance, that country, to the people of Germany. ; of these allegations, 1 am constrained to beli be rustained, If they are Amerisan citizen: ports under which’ they travel will show it—it ey have authority from the government of the | United States to ténder arms and pecuniary assist- ance to the Germans, nothing can be easi-r than to produce it; and that they even are the agents of the Germans in the city of New York, is susceptible of great doubt— “First, Because, at none of the several public | meetings in that city—in the Park, on the 3d of April ico’s, tho 11th April, or at McCullough’ on the 15th April, is any mention m ‘of sending money to Vienna; nor do the nami these individuals appear in any of the proceeding “Second, Because, on board of the steamer Ame- ziea, in which the only one of them, who has probably ae ever visited the United States, returned to Europe, | nothing was known of his quality as an agent or deputy. J Third, Because he landed in Liverpool on the 22d of May, and never reached Vienna for nearly two months thereafter. “ Fourth, Becauee he arrived in Vienna on the 28th of June, and did not unburden himself of his money ‘until the 8th of ip “ Fifth, Because ho has studiously avoided making ‘bimeelf known to the accredited representative of the ‘United States at this court. “ But there allegations should have passed unno- ‘ticed, had they not been derogatory to the character of my country, and violative of its cherished princi- les and constent practice, The government of the ‘nited States professes to exist on terms of amity and friendship with the Imperial government ; but seonld she have been guilty of suck a course as that in which these individuals would involve her, it would have been a violation of the law of nations, treacher- ous in the extreme, and unworthy of a respectable and honorable nation. “Independent of the reciprocal duties which one establirhed government owes to another, it has been the policy of the United States, from its origin. never to interfere with the domestic concerns of other na- tions, The motto by which she ever has been guided is that of non-interference ; and while she takes the liberty of establishing such institutions as may dain proper, fhe hat always musi freely accorded the wame privilege to others. The citizens, too, of the United States have never been propagandists; and though not indifferent to the extension of human Jiberty and free government throughout the world, they have never sought the advancement of these ob- Jects by the employment of emissaries, tho contribu- ‘tion of money, or the force of arms. If the free en- lightened mained ples by which our country is governed are ever to be disseminated, it is the opinion of every true American that this should be accomplished alone by the force of peaceful example. If the example of » country, which, from a dependent colony, has, in seventy-two years, become one of the first nations of the globe—from ease’ of three millions, bas in- oreased to upw of twenty millions—from a few scattered settlements along the shore of the Atlantic, mow embraces almost the whole continent—from a state of oppression and servitude, has come to the en- joyment of a greater degree of civil and religious iberty than oxists in any other country—if th peaceful triumphs are not sufficient to recommend ‘our principles to the adoption of other countries, then. it is certain that neither emiesaries, money,-nor arms will be able to effect it, the principles the: will not be worthy of imitation, and the United must be content to exist solitary and alone in their exercise and enjoyment. “ “ WILLIAM “ Chargé d’ Affaires of the U.8. of America, “ Vienna, 11th July, 1848,” August 13. The return of the Emperor yesterday to Vienna, ‘was a circumstance forming a thrilling contrast to his departure, three months since, Then, driven away by the people, it was compared to the flight of Louis XVI. "What astriking contrast did his return yesterday, through the dense mass of thousands who lined the road trom Newstadt, two miles from Vienna, where he landed from the Danube, to St. Stephen's Churoh, in the city, whither he repaired to attend # Te Deum, in honor of the vietorious entrance of the Austrians into Milan, offer to that of the return of the unfortunate French monarch. The people cried “ Vivat our loved Emperor Ferdinand and Empress Maria Ann;” the women and children strewed garlands in his carriage patb, and arches of flowers, inscribed with their Hames, linked with the words“ love of the people,” show their fickleness. They attended him in equal enthusiasm to Schoanbrunn, his summer palace, where he now is. The Emperor looks crusty, as if he meant to make the people pay for the trouble they have made him; but crustier looks his drother Franz Carl, and his wife, the Archduchees Sophie, the parents of the future Emperor Charles Joseph. She is detested here, and the papers this morning purposely omitted noticing her arrival. In Hungary, the civil war rages; and this civil | war is pregnant with great results for the unity of Austria. The Ban, or Viceroy ot Croatia, has declared to the Ministry of Hungary that if Austria unites with Germany, under a regent, he, with the Schlavonic rovinces, will unite with Hungary in maintaining her Jhacpendence against Austria; butif Austria preserves hher government pure and separate. he will defend the Emperor with the last drop of his blood. Our Berlin Correspondence. Benuix, Aug. 14, 1848. Enstances of German Political Indecision—Afuirs of | Prussia and Denmark—The Austrian Army in Italy— German Feeling against Prussia—The New Ministry. Of all people the Germans arethe most difficult in de- eiding upon any matter, and when they have arrived at a decision, it does them no good, because they always believe they ought to have done otherwise, and con- equently become distrustful of the whole case. It is for this reason, principally, that the Germans are such | Instances to Silustrate this can be | pad politicians, given from the history of our times, When the revo- Jation had broken down the system of the old govern- ments, the representatives of the German nation, — elected by the people, assembled at Frankfort to settle a form of government and a constitution for the whole ‘of Germany. The main end and object of this was to ertablish a unity of the whole German people. The public opinion in Germany was then divided on the question, whether all the kings and princes should re- sign, and the republic be established, or whether an emperor should be clected from the number of the former and the others abdicate in his favor? One of ‘these two courses in fact could only be followed for the purpose of obtaining the unity of Germany. A de- termined resolution from the part of the representa- tivisof the nation and the people, to follow either course, would at that time have decided the matter at once. and the unity of Germany would have been established. A want of firmnoss, however, and a d gree of sorupulousness with regard to minor co Biderations, when the moment of action had a1 rived, which, ‘were unp now occasioned a state of things which gives dissati faction to all parties, and by which constantly the safety and quiet of all the States of Germany are en- dangered. Another instanco can be given from tho more recent events, exhibiting « confusion of ideas and want of decision in taking the right tiew and position with regard to political matters, which is characteristic of the Germans. The reaction which bas taken place in favor of upholding the Independence of Prussia, ase State, and the demon- strations which have lately and during the past week been made by the opposite party against it, will afford the proof of what has been said, Among the conces- sions made to the Prussian people from the part of the government since the revolution, the principal were, that the liberty from the oppression of the officers of State in Prusein was granted, and that all the privileges dy which the Prussian military held a position apart from the people, and which were #0 offensive to the latter, have been abolished. Thus the fe a of the old State of Prussia, which jad been founded on military institutions, and had been maintained by the authority of the officers of state, were abandoned, and the Prussian State newly ‘modelled, bas no distinction left from any other Ger- | aman State. The dispute, then, which has lately been carried on about a special Prussian and a special Ger- man nationality, is very absurd, if it is considered, anoreover, that the Prussian people are as nearly related ‘with other German people as they are among them- selves, The question is only important with regard to the cpinion, whether Prussia is to unite with German: as one State, or to occupy a separate position. This hhas, however, been decided by the great majority of the Prursian people ; but it is remarkable how, since, ‘the public opinion has again turned, and the party ‘which has espoured the German cause is daily in- creasing. The demonstrations which were made in this city. in the past week, were meant to show that © patriotism for the German fatherland still exists, A Up procession, with Led of the German colors and flegs was held, and ‘£3 parade of the Berlin bdurgher yt took place, for the purpose of doing ho- moge to the Regent of Germa: in tho sitting of the 8th inst. of the Prussian Na- the | onal Assembly here, a motion by a member was made and carried, which excited great interest. It was, that the officers of the Prussian army should be directed to pledge their word of honor. tbat they will ask for their dismission if they are dis-atisfied with the new order of things. The minister of war has, however, not yet given the order to the officers. and it is stated, on good authority, that he does not intend to give it, but will bring the subject again before the National Assembly. If he cannot succeed then. to «ffect a withdrawal of the order, it is reported he will give in his resignation. Mr. V. Belovur has returned from Frankfort. his mirtion to negotiate av armistice between Pri and Denmark, bas been successful. inasmuch that there ig | mow great probability that the ish war will be soon ended, as all the German States are desirous for peace. As the conditions of the armistice, which is to be con- cluded. it ie stated, that 4000 men, German troops, will keep in posession the duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, und that a force of 3.000 Danes will occupy a position at Aleen The question now is. if the intervention of France and England will succeed in settling the conditions of a peace between Austria and the Italian people, by whieh the Lombardy will be given free. Only then a peace can be secured, and the danger of an alliance cf France with Italy avoided. A private intelli- gence received to-day from Vienna, states, from what | We consider the best authority, that the Austrian go- | Yernment bas been asked by the government of France, | in the most decided manner, what will be the cow | Austria will now follow with respect to Italy? A met senger bas, it is further stated. been sent to Paris to inform the French government of the following terms of peace, agreed upon by Austria:—Firstly, all the | people of Italy, formerly subjects of Austria, will be given free,exeept those who desire to remain Austrian subjects, Secondly, the people of Italy take upon | themselves @ part of the state debt of Austria. Thirdly, a comm*recial treaty to be concluded between Austria | and Italy. Several important questions will now short- | ly be brought before the Austrian Parlisment. On the Oth instant, all the German troops, except | the Prussians, did honor to the regent of the empire; apd great distatisfaction exits throughout Germany | about the latter having dirobeyed the direct order of | the German Minister of War The feeling against | Prussia. in Germany. it growing stronger as the former, by degrees, takes a more separate position from the other German States. The ministry for Germany is now complete. As prime minister, Prince Leiningen shas been appointed; for commerce, Duckwitz; for the finances. Beckerath; for foreign affairs, Heckscher; for the interior, Schmerling; for justice, Mohl. Only one appointment for German embassies has been made yet. It isthat of Mr. Anerawald, as minister to Russia. The discustions in the German National Assembly | have lately been very agitated, and have led to the most violent scenes between the different parties of the Arsembly. in consequence of which reveral duels be- tween members have taken place The excitement was caused on the question of granting a general par- don to all who had taken part in the attempt to es- | tablish the republic in Germany, and who were com- mitted for political crime. One of the members spoke, a8 it was thought, in a disrespectful manner of the Prince of Prussia. against which the Prussian repre- rated. and a storm was raised inthe it is stated. had nearly blown down Paul, in which the members hold their deliterations. ee te ee ee An American at the Coronation Festivities, outhampton, England. [From the Hampshire (Eng.) Advertiser.) In no part of the country could it have been pos- sible to celebrate the anniversary of Her Majesty’s coronation with more zeal, liberality, and enjoyment than in Southampton. The town resolved on making holiday, and most heartily was the resolution carricdout. The terrific scenes enacted in another country, and the malignant, though impotent temnte to foment disorders at hom» “made the 7111, of Southampton eagerly seize such an opportunity as that presented by the anniversary of Her Majesty's coronation of testifying their loyalty to Queen Vic- toria, and attachment to the throne and institutions of the country.

(Great applause.) | _ Mr. Croskey, on rising, wasreceived with great and repeated cheering. and begged to return his most sin- cere thanks for the high compliment they had paid to his country, to himself, and to the interests he repre- rented. In these days of progress it was no small com- plement to bave oneself associated in a toast with the giant power cf steam—the mighty civilizer of the world— whether as lied to the weaving of fabrics for the comfort of mankind, or to the interweaving of the web cfamity between nations—(cheers); but when their courtery had choren to wish success to the Ocean Steam Navigation Company—a company still in its infancy, before toasting the older and more powerful companies that have exercise’ a0 i nt n influence over the destinies of the port of South- ampton, he felt the compliment to be so much en- hanced that he could find no words adequate to ex- preseghis appreciation of their kindness. It would be a work of supererogation to wish success to the already succeseful companies he had alluded to. They stood before the world among the greatest achievements of the present sge, and his most sanguine wishes would be realized were the Ocean Steam Navigation Com- pany to attain an equal degree of perfection and prorperity. Their company had many difficulties to encounter—diftculties always attendant upon s new enterprise ; but he was happy to announce that these difficulties, if not altogether overcome, are fast disap- peering. The kind withes of their friends, as on the present occasion, would cheer them in the prosecution of their enterprize to a succersful issue. He would request permission to make a few remarks with refe- rence to the ber ae for which they had met that eve- ning— the celebration of the coronation of the Queen; and let him aseure them, that although an, American, and of consequence a republican, be could neverthe: lees appreciate and applaud the fecting which so unani- mously pervaded that meeting— the feeling of loyaly to their rovereign. (Repeated cheering.) In the United Stater, they hold that man to be the bert citizen who is most zealous in his obedience to the laws. Of the many thourand Europeans who annually take up their reridence amongst them, they always find those to be- come the most worthy citizens who have been good and Joyal subjects under their own form of govern- ment From their earliest infancy they had been taught to consider the feeling of loyalty to be essential tothe character of a true ‘ASeriean, ‘as it is held in this country to be ersential to the character of a true Englishman, (Cheers) With Americans loyalty was more of an abstraction—it was confined to an im- plicit obedience to the will of the majority, With Englishmen there war a charm, a poetical halo, thrown around the feeling, by ite boing ti of attachment to the person of thet icklet on the one side, wereign. And thrice happy were they for being blessed with one, who unites in her perron all the virtues of divine women, with the attributes of a Queen. cheering.) ‘They would believe him whe: he was proud of being an American.

Percy Bysshe Harnes, Rector of Corby, near Rock- inghem, and holding a similar living in the parish of Deana, in Northamptonshire, for a breach of promise’ of matriage. Damages were laid at £1,000 5 The Learned Serjeant, in stating the case, said the plaintiff was Miss Mary Saunders, daughter of the late Rev, John Saunders, « cler, gyman of the Church of England, of the highest respectability, formerly residing at Bettws Lodge, in the county of Monmouth, and vicar of the pa- Tishes of Llantrissent and Llanhowell. He was no more; and his daughter was an unprotected lady, since she had lost her parents and never had at brothers or sisters. As they had heard, the defendant was a clergyman of the Church of Eng- land, and he regretted that circumstances would compel him, in the exercise of his duty, to urge it mn aggravation of the flagrancy of his conduct. The Rev. defendant had for the last eight or ten yenealan bese an inhabitant of Aberystwith,wither je repaired to recruit his shattered health, The plaintifl,being in delicate health,was directed by her medical adviser to repair to that fashion- able resort, in the hope that she might derive strength from its salubrious air, She induced a young. lady of the name of Jones to accompany her, and also a young lady named Smith. The latter left in the course of a month, but Miss Saun- ders extended her stay at Aberystwith. In October last she attracted the attention of the Rev. defend- ant. who frequently met her in the course of her walks. He, then, influenced by an attraction which he could not resist, having been impelled by that inexplicable problem—love at first sight, resolved to visit her. He accordingly sent her the following epistle :— “Madam—If pardon can be conceded for intrusion may I venture toaskitofyou? There tsa general principle among strangers at watering places of in- troducing and being introduced to each other. I shall plead this privilege in my behalf, and add to it the impossibility ef becoming introduced to you by par- ticipation in the public amusements, and that i have no knowledge of a fit person to act as a friend in the case, Having premise thus far, I beg to place in your banda carte blanche of introduction, and await your pleasure in making use of it, and I trust that this mode of giving power to the lady cannot offend against de- Neacy, although it may appear at first sight to e: croech rather too much upon the bounds of etiquette. “1 beg to remain, Madam, your devoted servant, - “PB.

An intimacy then commenced between the parties, and he paid her daily visits ; and a few days after- wards he sentsher the following letter, in which he tendered her his hand and fortune : “ My dear Miss Saunders—In personal attractions, in ease and elegance and accomplishments—in kind- ness and cheerful temper, you have not an equal; and if there be any other social qualities requisite to con- stitute domestic happiness, I believe that you possess them in an eminent degree.

Without wearying thesury, however, he (the learned serjeant) would riefly mention that the defendant, by his assiduity and incessant application, succeeded in_ persuading the plaintiff to an engagement. He tNen increased his atten- tions. When it was fine they walked out together, and when it was wet they played chess or read in company. The defendant occasionally indulged in poetry to induce the plaintiff to yield to ais soli- citation, The following was a specimen: «Mary, plight thy love to me, I will pledge my faith to thee ; Good or ill, whate’er betide, Let us never more divide.” On another occasion, he sent her a long effusion, commencing— “Tell me, Mary, how to woo thee, Kind and gentle as thou art ; How declare my love unto thee, How bare the secret of my heart?”” The learnetcouncel proceeded. ‘Time waxed on, and the defendant became exceedingly anxious that the marriage should be celebrated forthwith ; but Miss Saunders, with great propriety, would not suffer it to take place until twelve months had elapsed from the death of his first wife. At length the wedding-day was fixed for the 5th of April, and matters progressed harmonieusly tll the 26th ot February, when the tender swain became meta- morphosed into f, wretched brute. He first evinced it by charging the plainuff with being head over heels in debt—with being drunken, old, and ugly, on the faith of anonymous letters. He then showe: his true character, and snatched from her some presents he had given her—a gold watch and chain, | and other things—and made his escape. He re- turned in the course of halt an hour, conducted himself very violently, and intimated his determi- nation not to marry her. He (Serjeant Jones) con- sidered there could not be a more cruel case, and he trusted that the jury would give a just amount of damages for so unmanly a breach of promise. Miss [s11za Jonrs, and several other witnesses were called, who proved the learned serjeant’s statement. Mr. Evans, Q. C., addressed the jury for the de- fendant. He said there was no doubt the defend- ant had made an <cesaecant and had broken it, and he must take the consequence ; but the ju would put out of the question all injury to the af- fections, by reason of the plaintifi’s loss of an old man who had St. Vitus’s dance. eer) The learned judge then summed up, and the jury found for the plaintiffi—damages, £100.

In regard to the patents for the improvements, it wae, among other things, objected, lat. That they covered a part of the subjects included in the frst patents, being, in that view. an attempt to extend tho period of the monopoly. 2d. That the new patents did not sufficiently distinguish what was the improve- ment frem what was embraced in the main patent, 3d.

On the part of the complainants, it was insisted that the evi- dence showed that Morse invented the telegraph as early as 1832, and perfected and exhibited it in Janu- ary. 1886 ; that he invented and put in operation, early in 1887, the combined circuit ; that Steinhell’s telegraph invention was not published until Septem- ber, 1838, and, that there was no evidence that it was invented prior to that of Morse, and whenever in- yented, it is not the telegraph which was patented to Morte ; that, as to the combined circuit, embraced in the patent of Davy, under which his speeifications were enrolled on the 4th of January, 1830, they were embraced in Moree’s patent from the French govern- ment. granted in August, 1838, from which Davy might have obtained the idea. As to the he of the patents, it was insisted that none of the objections taken by the defendants were available. And as to the infringement, it was contend- ed by complainants that the machine used by defend- ante was a violation both = the principle and process peten embraced in Moree’s' , ‘The apparatus of Morre, and that claimed as the in- vention of Barnes & Zook, called the Columbian Tele- graph, were exhibited before the Judge, and fully exa- mined, andthe affidavits of scientific men read. Ex- lanations were made by Mr. Barnes and Professor oree. The Judge occupied several hours in delivering his opinion, in which he stated the different points made by countel, as well on bebalf of the claim to an injunction jections of the defendant's counsel. As tothe invention, he decided that the evidence was satisfactory to his mind that Morse was the true and original inventor of the telegraph—that the only evidence in regard to Steinhell’sinvention, (without considering whether it was the same as Morse’s or — ‘was a publication upon his authority in Sept in which he stated that he had built graph from Munich to Bourgenhausen, a distauce of six miles, which had been in operation without repairs for more than one year.

Astothe general claim in the main patent of Morse, he did not consider the objections of the defendants well grounded ; and, even if it were too broad, it did not teem to him that the effect upen the validity of the patent would be such as the counsel for defendants contended. Other objections taken "by defendants’ counsel to the validity of the patents were noticed, and each overruled. Upon the question cf infringement, the judge expreseed himself as fully satisfied that the instru- ments exbibited by the defendants, in its structure and mode of operation, violated the principle of Morse’s atent, and the process and means Yeseribed by Morse n his specifications; and, if the general claim of Morse was invalid, still he was of opinion that infringe- ment was made out. As to the alleged prior use of some things in Morse’s recond reries of patents, he did not find in the evi- dence anything to warrant the conclusion that it had fn bd such character as to effect the validity of the atents. | PKs to the: propetety of granting the injunction, it | seemed to him upon the whole case that the complain- ants had shown euch ground as required; that it should be awarded, first, because they had’ shown a posession acquieséed ingfor a long time by the public at large and for some time recognized and acquiesced in be the defendant, O'Reilly himself; and, that it would be as unjust to refuse an injunction on a case clearly showing a right, as it would be to grant itina case where no right was shown. ‘The judge said that in some cases he had given to the defendants leave to continue the use of the machine, | which was alleged to be used in violation of a patented nt, upon giving bond and security to account for the profit ofthe use ; but that in this cause he did not deem it proper to do so, and that an abso- | lute injunction would be awarded upon complainants’ giving bond and security in the penalty of $6,000, with condition to indem: defendants against any injury that might accrue to them in case complainant should fail to have the injunction perpetuated.

City Intelligence Caution ro Housexxrrens,—We would kindly ad- vise you to be very careful and particular before you place your steak in the pan, or your joint in the pot, first to wash the meat very carefully. We are con- vinced, from what we have seen, no meat sold and bought in New York, is fit to be eaten unless, previous | to the cooking, it has first been carefully and thorough. | ly washed. Tho reason of this, which we are now going to explain, is singular enough, and though notoriously the fact, yet it is hardly credible The necessity, how- ever, of this our caution proceeds, wo are sorry to say, from the great and lamentable scarcity of pocket handkerchiefs in New York city, and the great preval- ence of catarrhal affections amoog our Lc tape As | we were walking through one of our principal streets, a few days ago, we noticed, on the other side of the way, @ neat, cleanly-looking, and well supplied butch thop. We haited a moment tojeontemplate the ri display, On the block was laid an immense hind quar- ter of fine fat beef, and around it stood a number of customers waiting for a portion each. The portly butcher himself stood there, knife in hand, and full of action, with a clean apron tied before him, He was busily engaged cutting off steaks, anon throwing them into the scales, and then taking them down and care- fully depcsiting them in the baskets of the pretty | mafdens who were waiting for their daily supply. Our ad- | mization of the scene was, however, suddenly converted | into horror and disgust at what we saw. The butcher, | while performing the operations above described, and | while the rich meat was yet hanging in luscious dis- | play from the scales, suddenly turned his head on one side, right facing us, and, hovesco referens !—it all took place in the twinkling of an eye— gers tothe nasal organ What followed may be ima- gined, for it cannot be uttered, ‘The effects upon his | fingers may be conceived, not expressed. Giving his now impure digits a hasty rub upon his white and | sanguine colored apron, the man of steel immediately | seized upon the beef-steak, as he cut it off, and wit | hands thus impure from the thunder storm of his frontal proboscis, he coolly deposited the now well |-lubricated meat into the basket waiting forit! The | instant ws got home, after this horrid sight, we im- plored the head manager of our culinary department, never, henceforward, to cook any more meat for us without first havi 5 washed it throroughly from all such mucilaginous infections, We believe there is a great destitu ion of pocket handkerchiefs among our otherwire prosperous population, and that this desti- tution is very prevalent among all those classes who e engaged in handling our food and victuals before they make their final appearance upon our tables, The fault, no doubt, lies entirely with the impozters in Pearl street, and other parts of our city, who have left us in this lamentable state ot destitution, reduced to the necessity of using our own flesh and blood assub- stitutes for pocket handkerchiefs. Shame upon them for their great neglect. If they do not take pity upon our destitute condition, and provide a sufficient tupply, we think it would be undoubtedly advisable to get up a benevolent institution, to supply the dosti- ute with pocket handkerchiefs, It is @ vulgar pro- verb which says “cleanliness is next to godliness,” and from hence it would follew, as a legitimate corollary, that euch en institution would be next in utiliry to the Bible Society.

The books were also destroyed, The loss is supposed to be about $35,000, upon which there was insurance of $30,000, in the Al: pany Insurance Co., and two Philadelphia offices. The building belongs to Mr. Samuel Coddington, and was insured in the office of the Greenwich Insurance Co., for $4,000, which will probably cover the damage.

From the depositions of the plaintiff, it appeared that, some time ago, he attended the patient, who was laboring under small pox; but, from some cause or other, this worthy disciple of Evoulapiua did not become aware of the fact for a period of several days after his first visit, After administering the best. remedies that his skill could suggest, he found it to be a hopeless case, the patient died, ‘The bill furnished by the med- ical gentleman was a most original and unique speci- men of medical practice. Not a single date—not a single item was given, and he felt considerable annoy- ance that it was not swallowed with the same unhesi- tating simplicity as one of his own prescriptions. He did not appear to be aware of the fact that‘ when taken, it would be well shaken,’’ and opened his oyes in utter amazement when exception was taken to this summary process of treatmnet, He then promised to give a billof particulars, and, after various proposals as tothe place of argument, it was at length agrood that the case should be tried at 10 o'clock on Tuesday week, at Mr. Taylor's, Dobbs’ Ferry.

NEW JERSEY, Some of the democratic papers assert that the free foil movement in New Jersey will benefit the Cass and Butler electoral ticket, on the ground that many more whigs than democrats will vote for Van Buren, and that the whig Quakers will vote for the latter in preference to Taylor, On the contrary, » leading and active Jersey whig considers the free soil movement decidedly favorable to the success of the Taylor ticket in that State. Alexander Wurtz, who is at the head ofthe Van Buren electoral ticket, has been one of the lead- ing democrats in New Jersey, and went for Polk and Dallas in 1844. He issustained by numerous other prominent men of the same party. The Friends, or Quakers.who have heretofore voted with the whig party, as far as heard from, generally prefer Taylor to the other candidates for the Presidency. ‘The € movement in New Jersey, so far as our inquiries ave extended, does not amount to much; our informant thinks not enough to affect the result in the State.
