RESULT OF THE ELECTIONS IN FRANCE, SUCCESS OF THE SOCIALISTS, Panic on the Paris Bourse. POLITICAL AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, dic., die., He. By the arnval of the Ocean Steam Navigation Company’s steamship Hermann, Capt. E. Crabtree, with the United States contract mails from Eng- land, France, and Germany, we are in possession of our usual correspondence and files of London papers, embracing news of one day’s later date than brought by the Niagara. The Hermann arrived at her dock about 7 o’elock on Wednesday morning. The Hermann sailed from Bremen on the morn- ing of the 15th ult., and reached Southampton on the 17th. At the latter port she took in 700 tons of eoal, and a considerable quantity of cargo, princi- pally French merchandise from Havre. She de- parted from Southampton on Sunday, the 20th, about the sume hour with the Royal Mail steam- ship Indus, bound to Alexandria, With the East India and China mails; but, as on a former occa- sion, she considerably outstripped the Indus in ed during the run down the British Channel — This speaks favorably for the speed of the Ameri- ean steamer, the Indus being a very fine iron ship of 1,500 tons burden, and having been built espe- ly for eee the British muils. ‘he Hermann brings the large number of 90 se- cond class, and 70 first elass passengers, and speeie value $7,500 in gold. 5 The U. S. frigate St. Lawrence, 44, Captain H! Paulding, was lying in Southampton harbor when the Hermann left. She was taking in ample sup- oa plies of provisions and stores, previous ti m- mer cruize in the North Sea and Baltic, for the protection of American interests during the unset- tled state of Northern Europe. We learn that the St. Lawrence had an exceedingly pleasant cruize to Cudiz and Lisbon. At the latter port the com- mander and officers were received with every de- monstration of respect and attention. We are happy to learn, by a letter from Southampton, that the same good feeling existed on the re-appearance of this frigate off that port, between the officers and authorities of the town. When the ship ar- rived from the Tagus, royal salutes were exchang- ed; and on the I May, the day appointed for the celebration of Her Majesty’s birthday, the frigate was handsomely decorated with flags ; at noon the royal standard of England was hoisted ander a salute of 21 guns, the band playing “God save the Queen.” e visit of this ship of war to the English shores done much to promote that cordiality which it is so desirable should be culti- vated between the American republic and the old eountry. Te ohare Mathew sailed in the Ashburton on the th ult The London Standard (evening paper) of the 19th, ives the following programme: of certain changes the British eabinet, which it was rumored were about to tuke place. Both the accuracy and prac- ticability of such « reconstruction of the ministry we very much doubt, but nevertheless, give the Tumor us it was circulated in London. Lord Cla- rendon, Premier, to be succeeded in his viceroyal- by Mr. Sidney Herbert. raised to the peerage. Lord Lansdown to be made a duke, succeed, as President of the Council by Lord John Russell, also called to the House of Lords Messrs. La- beuchere, Baring, and Sir J’ C. Hobhouse to be je peers. James Graham goes to the Ad- miralty, with Mr. Cardwell as Secretary; and Mr. Gladstone to be President ot the Board of Trade, with Lord Lincoln, President of the Board, of Control. This is a bold shuffle, certainly, turning up no less than four new_peerages and a dxkedom. The 19th being Her Ma esty'* wep sPes a gpand review took place at the Horse Guards. ' he Duke of Wellington and several officers reviewed the troops. The city is now being illuminated. Accounts have been received from Rotterdam, stating that a fire had broken out in that city, an £300,000 worth of property destroyed. Atrocious Attempt to Assassinate the meen. Lonpon, May 19, 1849. Shortly after six o’clock this evening, her Ma- jesty and Prince Albert, while returning in an n landau, from Hyde park, down Constitution hill, to Buckingham palace, a laboring, man, wearing a white flannel jacket, and bearing all the appearances of a mechanic, levelled a pistol at the Queen from within the railings of the Green park, while the carriage was passing the curve of the hill, close to the triumphal arch, The Queen and the Prince did not appear much alarmed, and the carriage, by order of the Queen, preceeded to the palace. Both were uninjured. The miscreant, who is an Irishman, named John Hamilton, was immediately seized by one of the park keepers, and by a soldier, who jumped over the rails. The pistol, it was believed, was loaded with ball. He was immediately taken to the King street station, where, at the time our re- porter left, the scoundrel was under examination, The greatest excitement prevails in the metro- polis in consequence of the diabolical attempt. The man, who is about thirty or thirty-five years of age, appears a rational individual. Affairs in France. — “ Our advices from France, (including Paris let- ters tothe 19th ult.,) mention that considerable alarm existed in that co consequent upon the rather unexpected result 0 the elections. Although the moderate party would have a majority in, the new Legislative Assembly, yet the number of re- publican and sociulist eandidates who had been Teturned was far more numerous than was antici-. pated. This fact, with the still more significant one, that a vst proportion of the soldiers of the line, in Paris, voted for the socialist candidates, had caused great dismay to the President of the Republic ph his ministers. The President, on being apprized of the result of the elections, sent a telegraphie despatch commanding Marshal Bngeaud to return to Paris as quickly as possible. This pro- ceeding had given rise to anumber of reports, some of which said the object was to form a new mmmistry, in which M. Dufaure and M. Gustave de Beaumont were to fill important positions. This was, however, extremely improbable, till the ac- tual complexion of the new Assembly should be accurately ascertained. Some disturbances had broken out at Lyons, Pont Levoy, near Blois, and at Chalons. In the former town it is said the soldiers joined the mob. We do not learn that any very serious results were anticipited to arise out of these outrages. ‘The Peuyle announces that Serjeant Major Boi- chot, who had been imprisoned at Vincennes, has been set at poet. " i The Cdillon Barrot Cabinet, it was clear, had much éamaged its position, and the larity of the President, by the Roman intervention, a mea- sure dictated neither by sound policy as regarded the internal peace of the republic, or the external Telations ot the French government. The inter- vention seemed to partake of a mere electioneering tactic to gain popularity for the Bonapartists, but which had turned out anything but favorable for their canse, The army was very much dissatisfied by the unhappy manner and juncture in which the expedition was planned, and more especially by the abominably bad way in which it had been con- ducted, and the humiliation it had caused to the French arms in the face of Europe.

The Roman Minister of Foreign Affairs, had delivered foreigners who demanded them. The Roman overnment addressed a note to all the Catho- he powers, dated 7th May, sign=d by the Minister Ruscon), stating that the Roman queetien, hither- to a political one, now assumed a religious character, and that all Europe apparently conspired to impose a detested pone upon three millions of men, who had declared it forever fale: The document proceeds state, that a ‘ople, reealling its old traditions of glory. jas shaken off its slumber and awoke to the life oi nations. ‘‘Let Europe,” continues the manifesto in conclusion, “refleet before she proseeds; the wtruggle 1s no longer between one army and ano- ther, but itis a struggle that embraces a whoie moral world of ideas, that may find an echo in the most distant generations.” The Triumvirate were determined to fight to the last to resist the re-establishment of the Pope in his temporal power. The King of Naples was, av it were, blocked up.in Albano, the bridges be- ing blown mp behind him. i seneral Oudinot had promised to suspend ope- rations till the result of the negotiations between fg Roman Envoys and Lord Palmerston became nown. The occupation of Bologna and Leghorn by the Austrians is confirmed. In the latter city the Austrians, shortly after their entrance, had shot, without any form ef trial, every person met carry- ing any description of firearms, or even wea rng the uniform of the Nationa] Guards. Naples and Sicily, It was reported that General Filengeri, the Nea- politan commander-in-chief, had gained possession of Palermo, after a desperate engagement and bombardment, after which the Neapolitan forces sacked the city, and committed the most despe- rate atrocities. id Venice. r The Austrians’ besiegmg eorps before Venice had not been very successful in the prelim nary operations against that city. The Venetians were determined ta muke a stout defence. Schleswig Holstein. | There was, still, every reason to anticipate that the Denmark and Schleswig Holstein dispute could be arranged without further hostilities. Prussia and the German Empire, Ouraccounts trom Germany are peculiarly m- teresting 1n its present agitated condition. From Berlin our latest advices inform us that the King of Prussia had issued a manifesto to his subjects, in which he condemned the standard of revolt which had been raised by the enemies of Germany. His majesty affirmed that he could not accept the Imperial crown offered by the Frankfort Assembly, because it was upon the con- dition that he should give his assent to the consti- tution, which he deemed incompatible with the rights and safety of the German etates. His ma- jesty says that he has since tried every means to bring the National Assembly to a sense of what is right, but all to no purpose. Failing in this object, he has recalled the Prussian deputies, a course of conduct which will be followed by other German governments ; fora party exists in the As- sembly, who, under the diggrise of effecting an union of all the several kingdoms, are seeking to wage an injquiteus war, in order to overturn laws, liberty, an Sie His Majesty points to Dres- den, Breelau, and Elberfeldt, as convincing proofs of this fect. He will shortly submit a consutution sanctioned by the other governments, which shall have “unity” for its basis, and will guarantee to Germany its liberty, and a free representation of the people. In conclusion, his Majesty says :-—* If my people will stand by me, as I will stand by my people, faithfully and with confidence, with God’s blessing, a glorious victory will not be wanting te asi As a eet-off to this intelligence, the Frankfort sit- ting of the 16th, officially announces that a Cabinet has been fermed under the direction of Messrs. Graevell and Detmold. The recall of the Prassian deputies was then communicated, which the Cham- ber received with derision. A protest, signed by 55 Prussian deputies was read,.who refused to comply with the command of their Sovereign. Mr. Widen- mann moved that the King of Prussia’s decree of recall be pronounced illegal. The urgency of this motion was declared by 289 votes againt 2. A similar proposition submitted, regarding the Austrian revocation ; but the decision was reserved for another day. The Committe ef Safety then laid upon the table their report, which | proposed te elect a Directory of five persons, to swear the Assembly to the Constitution, and to suspend the Regent (Archduke John) in his office. The dis usin on this important motion was fixed for the 18th inst. The Insurrection in Elberfeldt, so far at least as the Civic Guard and the Landwehr were concera- ed, was considered at an end, the deputation which proceeded to Berlin having returned with the un- derstanding that the King would recognise the con- stitution for Germany, with a few minor exceptions. A telegraphic despatch from Berlin subsequently announced that Bavaria, Saxony and Hanover had ie to accept the constitution in its modified form. } The accounts from the Prussian Rhenish Pro- vinces were more favorable, and inany of the bar- ricades in Elberfeldt were taken down, and the Committee of Public Safety declared te be dissolv- ed; the more determined democrats, however, eommenced building other barricades. It was repoyed in Frankfort that Prussia would declare war against all those German States which should acknowledge unconditionally the Frankfort constitution. The Frankfort gina that the Baden General Hefiman, at the head of a corps of horse artillery and rifles, held a position on the left bank of the Necker, near Hadenburg. On the 16th of May he was reinforced by some detachments of Hessian rifles, and prepared to advance to put down the repubiican insurrection in the Grand Duchy. _ The insurrection had become general, and the fortress of Rastadt was fully in possession of the insurgents, and a tremendous conflict was expected. J , According to the latest advices from Rhenish Bavaria, the rising in favor of the Frankfort con- stitution was fapidiy pease | amongst all classes and auxiliaries were arriving from various pointe 40,000 men from Hesse alone. The workshops of Metz were deserted. ; Wurtemberg was outwardly tranquil—thanks to the liberal ministers who had formed the king’s government since April of last year. j Letters from Dresden (Saxony) mention that before the King of Saxony will be able to reckon upon the cordial co-operation of the middle classes, he will be forced to embrace the Frankfort consti- tution, otherwise, the assistance of even Prussian ttalions will be of no avail to stem the tide of eral popular opinion. aa ‘The whole of the accounts from all parts of Ger- many are very serious, showing the generally fixed and settled determination of the German people to uphold the Frankfort Parliament, by force of arms, if vecealary. This resolve,so energetically express- ed, must eventually result in the overthrow of the various existing monarchical forms of government, unless the heads of those governments, by timely and prudent concessions to the will’ of the mass of the people, shall avert the storm of a bleody civil war, evidently threatening to engulph existing in- stitutions.

The fortress of Raab had been retaken by the Imperialists, the Hungarians having retreated as the former ad: vanced. Indeed, it appeared that the Hungarians were falling back on ull sides,—but it must be re- membered, that 1t was their old policy to draw their enemies into the impracticable and inhospita- ble parts of the country.

I am here, in the midst of the most devoted friends, who have acted, and will still act, as far as human means will allow, with the greatest honor and integrity towards me, and towards every one, and who are covering themselves with eternal glory under the most trying and painful circum- stances. I find Gen. Avezzana Minister of War, and Col. Nicola Fabrizzi on nis staff. Gen. Garri- baldi had just arrived, and J ealled on him on Sun- day, and was received in the warmest and most MORNING EDITION----THURSDAY, JUNE 7, 1849. affectionate manner; and while I was with him, news arrived of the first skirmish with the French. He 18 a noble fellow, and has already handled the French in famous style. Yesterday was the first day of real fighting, and a glorious day; it was quite a victory for the Italians, although, for the most part, with little or no discipline. They took trom 300 to 360 prisoners, including a number of officers, and killed and wounded 600 or 700; and ibis morning the French are begging the English jLysicizns and surgeons in Rome to assist them. 1 dun neather able nor desirous to leave Rome, for there is the greatest order and tranquillity,combined with the greatest enthusiasm; and last night it was glorious to see the illumination in every street and alley, and the inhabitants walking about as though it were a féte, nearly all the men in uniform, and more or less armed. ‘Since I began, I have learned that the French lost 1,200 men, and have abandoned a great many of their dead and wounded, and re- tired to a distance of 12 miles. They have sent to request medical aid, which the Roman government has immediately supplied, together with medicines and other requisites, and have returned some pri- soners as a present. So much for “the sanguinary and sacnlegious Mazzini,” as some have called im. You will learn by my letter the noble and mag- nanimous behaviour of the Romans,who have been belied and misrepresented as a parcel of anarchists, brigands and cowards, _ The truth is, I have been seeking anarchy by night and by day in the high streete, and I cannot find it. I go out at all times, andin all places, with my watch, money and papers, and I find the greatest honesty and civility; and as for their being cowards and running away at the first shot, Ican assure you they have behaved with the greatest bravery; and the French, who have been nearly all chosen from those well trained and accustomed to fighting in Africa, have run away with precipitation and fear. Mazzint and Avezzana have to work terribly hard, bat hey look tolerably well and keep up their spirits, though they are prepared to lose their heads at any moment. [was with them yesterday during two interviews—one with M. Isambert and other French diplomatists, who came under the auspic of the Danish Coneul, to ask protection and a con- veyance to leave the city, as all horses are in re- quisition for the army; and it was really amusin; how they lectured them on the immoral, barefuced and ridiculous aspect of French diplomacy. I went yeuerdsy, with a note from Mazzini, to see the Princess Belgiojoso, at the Trinita di Pellegrini, where she is constantly attending to the wounded, and I found with her Gen. Garibaldi. Rome, May 7, 1849. I wrote you on the Ist inst., and I have now to relate a most noble act, and such an interesting and touching scene asl had never witnessed or read of in history. About 10 this morning, there appeared on the walls a declaration from the Triumvirate, that the Romans were determined to defend themselves, and there ought not, and could not, be a state of war between tne two republics, and that the French soldiers ought not to be made responsible for the-actsof a misguided government, and that the French prisoners should therefore go free, and they invited the people to meet at mid. day to give them a fraternal escort. I went up to the Consulta, where Gen. Avezzana, the Minister of War and Commander-in-chief, now holds his uarters. ‘The French officers were soon intro- Soced-st think twelve besides the drum-major— and when the Triumvirate and M. Bonaparte, the President of the Assembly, had arrived, Gen. Avezzana saluted the French, and made a short address in their language. He expressed the pain it had occasioned him to take up arms against those whom he he had expected would rather have as- sisted his fellow-countrymen in maintaining their freedom, and his regret to see them bound by mili- tary honor and discipline to carry out the dictates of ‘a policy which might He possibly bring back events similar to those of 1815, and which was only in accordance with the French invasion of Spain in 1823. Hes he had on that occasion fought agtinst them in the cause of freedom, and would still do so if they continued in that course; but he hoped, although’ he did not wish to put any conditions whatever to thein, that they would dis- abuse their fellow officers and countrymen as to ee state of things and the sentiments of the people ere. Mazzini then gave utterance to a few most for- eible words. He said they had only taken up arms in self-defence, and that they would continue to defend themselves to the utmost; but he would not allow that there did exist war between the two people, and there must continue one sentiment of raternity and friendship, based upon their common interests. He regretted that they should have been detained so long, for the vey day after their capture, he made overturesto Gen Oudinot for their release, in exchange for the batallion of Roman soldiers who had been disarmed and made prisoners at Civita Vecchia, upon their arrival, without any hostili- ties or declaration of war. Gen. Oudinot refused to listen to terms, and continued his threats. Find- ing, therefore, that military usage fuiled, he had recourse to civic power, and allowed themto go free without any pledge or obligation, except their own feelings of honor. It was delightful to wit- ness the dignity and Tien jameson 4s well as the simplicity and intellectual benevolence of the man; but you and I, who know and appreciate him so well, can easily understand it. ‘ M. Bonaparte then addressed them. He said he hoped they would no longer fight against the re- publics reminded them of the saying of Napoleon, that Europe would either become republican or Cossack; und, as a Bonaparte, he asked them if they wished to become Cossack? The French then had their swords returned to them, and were conducted into the town toa collation. Some of them expressed themselves with a good deal of feeling, and uli were completely crestfallen. Gen. Avezzana shook hands with most, and they were embraced by many of the Italian officers, In a short time, General Avezzana went with his stat to join them in the Corso, whgre the French sol- diers were collected, and in friendly conversation with crowds of Komans, some of whom were oflering them cigars, some giving bread, and others taking them to drink wan It was delightful to see with what good wall and alacrity the Romans reepsnded to the generous and noble invitation of the government. ‘The military band played the Martellaise, and then a Frenchman, who has a ood deal of eloquence and writes for some of the "rench papers, was requested by the officers to ad- dress the people from the balcony of the restau- rant; and he thanked them, in the most expressive terms for the noble conduct shown to his feliow countrymen, and he was received with most rap- turous applause from the people, and cries of Vive la dette Romame!” from the French soldiers in the street. The late prisoners were then con- ducted in procession, most of them arm in arm with Romans, to the gates of the city; but as they passed by St. Peter’s, they went in of their own accord, and, before the grand altar, knelt down and swore never to serve again against the Roman republic. . Thus ended one of the most glorious days that Rome has ever known. Last Monday she equalled her most palmy days ot bravery and gure and to-day she has surpassed beats! ever rea or heard of, by her noble bearing and generosity; nd this at a time when she is still threatened by the French General, by an army of Neapolitans within a few miles of the city, by the Austrians, and, as isjust announced, the landing of some 4,000 Spaniards. i You must not suppose this conduct dictated by anything approaching fear, or a desire to receive back the Pope as Kings for it is quite amusing to me to see and hear the jokes and laughter of the people, as they read in groups the announcement of the Spanish armada; and I think they are pre- pared to resist and crush 60,000 or 60,000 men, if they were to attack or ever to penetrate within the city. Our Berlin Correspondenee. Beauin, May 15, 1849, Continuation of the Revolution in Germany—Victory of the Prussian and Saxon Forces in Dresden—General Insurrection in Bavaria—Dissolution of the Assembly Revolution in Germany continues to make rapid progress; and though it has just been successfully combated on the Elbe, has challenged its enemies to another and more desperate struggle on the Rhine. The insurrection at Dresden ended after hevoral days hard fighting in the streets ef the capital, and a de- plorable destruction of life and property, with the surrender of the people to the united Prussian and Saxon forces ; and amid the roar of the cannon, the last barricades in the Altetadt were stormed by the troops But though the movement bas been supprossed at Dresd nd in Saxony, it has since broken vut at a hundred different points on the Rhi nd in western Germany, At Cologne, at Dusseldorf, at Elberfeldt, and in many parts of Bw Wurtem- the people have ri and are eneral fight. Collisions have al- mn place at many pointe along the in the States situated mear it. The greater part of the smaller princi many, in which the constitution has been pub- lished. are now organizing forces to put it into opera- tion throughout the country; and e where the ‘are called to arms. In Baden the Chamber has the oath upon the constitution, and the government has declared that it should require the military, and all persons in the service of the State, to do the same. But according to the latest accounts, the ineurrection in Germany already assumed a for- midable eharacter, and a of the Bavarian and Ba- ne over tothe people. The important fortress of Landau, in Bavaria, is alt in jion of the insurrectionary forces; and by advices we have just received, the garrison of the fortress of Rastadt. in Beden. has risen, and after the commandant of the town and four officers had been kilwa the republic has been proclaimed. From Ludwig’s pi or +0 e intelligence that the armed forces of the peo ste oo trated there, amount to 20000. Im the me ntime') pempwicns which have been made by Prussia, who has ‘undertaken, in conjunction with Austria and Bavaria, to put down the revolution, are by no means inade- uate to meet the approaching conflict. Including the indwher, which has just been called out, the military forces of Prussia will be shortly one haifa million of troops, The policy the Prussian government now has de- termined to act upon, is that of armed intervention in allthe States im which revolutionary movements are golng on. In Saxony the Prussian military has already aided to quell the insurrection; and considerable forces of Prussian troops are now being concen- trated on the Rhine. A part of the militury station ed in Saxony has lately received orders to go to the Rhine, and reinforcements from here are being daily sent to the western provinces. ‘The intervention of Frussia in the German States, at the present moment, is similar to that of Russia in Austria, and of France in italy. It inthe intervention in behalf of despotism against the principles of the revolution and the cause of liberty. And, indeed. if there ever was @ powerful ro ae against the progress of liberty and civilization in Europe; if there ever was a period in the history of Europe, when civilization was threatened to be swal- lowed up by despotism, such a coalition, and with it, the danger that the Russian, Sclavonic and Asiatic ele- ments, ere long, may become predominant in Europe, exists at the present moment. Russia has advano with 200.000 troops into Austria, The struggle with the get enemy of the civilized States in Europe, who long been waiting for the favorable moment to invade Germany, and extend bis power beyond the borders of the Niemen, is now at hand, But the governments of the two great powers, Austria aud Prussia. scared by the revolution, which is progressing every hour, have taken part for the invader; and the struggle must now be carried on by the people, against the common enemy and their own governments. The movements of the Russian troops, up to the 11th inst., were, as [ have as- certained from an authentic source, the following:—On the 4th inst., 17,000 entered Austria, by the way of Kra- kan. A body of 33,000 followed on the Sth; 26,000 passed the Austrian frontiers, near Brody, on the 8th inst., and on the rame day, 15,000 entered by the way of Tarno- grad. On the ¥th, 17,000 passed through Wolosczys, sud on the 11th, 9,000 through Hussyatyn, Besides these forces which have entered Austria, two Russi azeaies are about to enter Transylvania, through Wal- ia. In consequence of the resolutions of the National As- sembly at Frankfort, to the effect that the Prussian go- vernment had exceeded its own power, and infringed that of the central government of Germany, in sending troops to Sgxony for the purpose of putting down the revolution, the government here has at last taken the step which, I have every reason to believe, it had deter- mined upon long ago, in recalling the Prussian deputies from Frankfort. A decree, published yesterday in the official paper, summonses the deputies to leave Frankfort 8 soon as porsible, and to refrain from tuking any fur- ther part in the Proceedings of the Assembly. A great part of the Prussian deputies belonging to the right aod centre, had ulready quitted the Assembly; but it may Low be regarded as virtuaily dissolved, [tis stated that the Bavarian and Saxon governments will likewise sum- mon the deputies to return. Whether these summouses, however, will be obeyed by the majority of the Assem- bly. is a question much to be doubted in tho present state of things; and it appears much more likely that the Assembly will now, ut once. take the bolder course, in placing itself at the head of the revolution. The diplomatic negotiati going of in this eity, for the purpore of agreeing upon a constitution octroyée, to be issued by the governments of Germany, have not yet led to any result. [ am informed, however, on good authority, that the propositions of Prussia have already Deen accepted by Austria and Saxony. Wurtemberg has not yet sent an ambassador, and, r having recog- nized the German constitution, cannot, in fact, take avy part in the diplomatic conferences here. Baden, wnd almost all the smaller States, have refused to send plenipotentiaries. 1t is believed that the form of the constitution octroyée, will be that of « directory, and it isWtated, by persons. generally well informed. that the whole of Austria, with all its foreign population, is to be united with Germany, according to the plan now being deliberated upon by the agents of the governments. The time for the new clections to the Chambers, has not yet been fixed by the government, though the term of 40 days, in which the Chumbers are again to be con- yoked, according to the Prussian constitution, has al- ready half expired. It is. tor this reason, asserted by many, that the government does net intend to call the Chambers together in the present state of things. [ haye reason to believe, however, that this is not the cace, and that ere long the time for the meeting of the Chambers will be fixed, and the new electoral law, which will contain certain modifications of the former law, will be published. a in consequence of serious disturbances which occurred at Breslau, a few duys ago, that city has been declared in @ state of siege. ities of Ger- Orn Boanp or U.S. Matt Sreamonir Hearn, vy Hoox, June 5—P.

Terrible Thunder Storm—Thirteen Buildings gtruck by Lightning—Pullic Feeling after the Trial of Dr. Har- denbrook—Meeting of the Directors ef the Auburn and Rochester Railroad—The Cholera, About ten o'clock, on Saturday night, this eity was visited with one of the most violent thunder storms that has been known, in this part of the globe, for ma ny years, In the early part of the eveniug it had been raining at intervals, with occasional peals of thunder, but about ten, it came thicker and faster. The thun- der and lightning came in rapid succession, and, from the sound ofeach clap of thunder and flash of light- ning, it would seem as if a large portion of the dwell- ings and buildings had been struck. It continued till near twelve o'clock, when it somewhat abated. Yester- great many p ple were out eurly tehing for the shattered buildings; ing. it had been ascertained that thirteen buildings and houses had bi struck with lightning which did considerable damage. Nos, 16 and 18 North Sophia street were pierced, taking the clapboard off the tront of the house, and ing down some of the laths ond plaster ; the electricity then ugh several rooms and out at the back of No. 16 was occupied by Washington Gib- bons, who was absent at the time of the storm and thocks.

From all appearances, the tide appears to be against him, as the majority of the people ‘and public presses of the city of Rochester yet believe him guilty of the charge of causing the death of Mr. Nott, It may be well to state how the feelings of the jurors were at the first builot. They stood seven for conviction, and five for acquitt nd afterwards ten for conviction, and two for acquittal; aud expressed themselves in the following manner :—" That they believed him guilty, but did not think the evidence strong enough te con- demn him to the gallows,” But, had the penalty been State prison. they would undoubtedly have brought in a verdict of guilty, The doctor is expected to rexumo his profession again in this city. and it is supposed by sme that he will new do more business than he ever did, which is in consequence of the notoriety he has guined since the eommencement of his troubles in this afleir. ‘Lhe thirteen directors of the Auburn and Rochester Railroad are to have their anvual meeting to-day, at the beautiful village of Cu kus, They will ap- point new officers for the uing year.

IN THIS CITY. Maron’s Orrice, New Youu, June 6, 1849. ‘The Sanitary Committee of this city report 60 new cases, and 10 deaths, of cholera, as having ooourred during the last 24 hours. subMARY. Cases. Deaths. Im Centre street Hospital......... 16 5 Reported by Physicians in private praet! 5 Total sees 10 Just as we anticipated two days ago, it will be seen, from the report of the Sanitary Committee, that cho- lera was on the increase yesterday—a result that may be accounted for by reference to the Odd Fellows’ eele- bration of Monday night. On these occasions, » few will always indulge to excess, and pay the penalty in diarrhoea or cholera morbus. Even men who could not be accused of intemperance were so exhausted by marching in the procession, under a burning sun, and drinking cold water, that they have been seized with spasms und dysentery, One of the New York and Har- lem railway conductors, named Conant. was at the fes- tivity on Monday night, and took ill next day. Fortu- nately, he is now restored to health. It is worthy of remark, that the proportion of deaths to cases is ver; snail, not only as compared with the cholera in 183) but as compared with the mortality since it commeneed during the last month. ‘The fatal cases ure only one to every six. In 1882, they were nearly hulf fatal. ‘The dif- ference may be acoounted for in elther of three ways : —First, ax some think, we have not Asiatic cholera at all; necond, though it’ does exist, it is modified to a milder and’ less fatal form; third; the malignant type exists now, and is as fatal as in 1832, where it actually takes porsession of its victims, but it Is not so extensive now as then, nor so extensive now aa people imagine, ¢ommon cholera morbus being confounded with itin pri vate practice, ‘Thislatter alternative, we have no doubt, is the true one, else how can we account for the extra- ordinary difference between the mortality in the ho pital and in private practice. In the hospital the deaths were yesterday reported to be about one in three; in privute practice one in nine. ‘The solution of the difficulty is, that not one-third of the cases in private practice were Asiutic cholera. ‘Thore is only one other possible solution, and it ia this—that the physicians do net report half the deaths that oceur in | private practice, as well on their own account, as be- cause the friends ef the deceased are averse to publicity. One of the most recent fatal cases occurred in Wash- ington street, The victim was s very poor woman, ai poverty, filth, and intemperance will be found to be t exciting causes of nincteen-twentieths of all the cho- lera cases that have occurred IN BROOKLYN, Orrice o tHe Boann or Heautn, Bnooxtyn, June 6—9 A.
