This association is, as we Baid, the commencement of the work only; and as it progresses, and ae the sympatnies of our people, of all parties, of aliclimes, and of all religious sects, are evoked, we hope that the whole of the people of Europe who are aspiring to possess what we enjoy will be included within its folds. In striking for freedom and republicanism, the peeple of Italy, of Rome, of Germany, und those of every other coun- try, have made themselves our brethren. No dis tnction should be made between any of them. ‘Too long the world has been divided by geographi- cal distinctions and boundaries. ‘The globe on which we live is the inheritance of the great family of man—the land being set apart by the Great Ar- chitect of the universe, to produce fruits for our support; and the ocean, so appropriately termed the “highway of nations,” as a means of commu- nication between distant countries. If the world in which we live were all earth—that is, if there were no oceans and no seas—there would not have been, for centurtes and centuries, any means of communicating with foreign nations. The natives of the most distant would be entirely unknown to as, and we would be entirely unlenown to them. We should be intimately acquainted with only such as were within our immediate neighborhood. This was foreseen by Providence, who, in His wisdom, provided against the evils and inconves niences which the absence of water would occa- sion. But spart from all other considerations, it is emphatically the duty of the American people to recognise no geographical distinctions between thoce people in Europe who are following in the track which we have marked out for them, and g@iming to achwve whut we enjoy, and what our fathers fought and bled and died for. The poople ofthe United States are reeponvible for all the re- volutionary movements that have taken place ia Europe for the last half century or more, com- mencing with the givat drama ia France, h, though attended with scenes that no phi- lanthropist would desire a repetition of, and which all men notwithstanding, productive of grev e whole of Enrope. All the subsequent upheavinys of the political ele ments of Europe can, in like manner. be attributed to eur revolutionary struggle. Can the people of the United States, therefore, look with uneoacern ob what is now transpiring in Europe, when, it they view the matter mits nght light, they are morally responsible for them? If they cannot, neither can they, with any show of justice, make y dietinetion between one nation and another— Between the Hungerians and Romans, or be- tween the Hungarinne and the Judians, or between the Italians and any other people who are striving for liberty. Dut, as we eaid before, the German association is only the commencement of the work in the Cnited States. A leapyue that will embrace the struggling people of m prevailed during must condemm, was, ropean pations, must be formed, with branche tered throughout the whole United States.

The journalism of these great centres of civilization and intelligence, consti- tutes one of the most interestiag features of mo. dern society. There is nothing in ancient times which can at all compare with this element of thovght—this potent instrumentality in the great work of progress, revolution, and public liberty. It has itself undergone great changes within the brief period we have named, Itstone and character— its general management—ts circulation, have all experienced remarkable changes. Let us first advert to the circulation,of the lead- ing journals in London, Paris, and New York.— We have the best data for believing that, during the last five years, the aggregate circulation of the daily and weekly newspapers issued in those cities has been more than doubled In Paris, especially, the increase hus been most marked. It is sujeoxed— and we can ourselves speak with some intelligence on the subject—that the circulation of the popular journals has been trebled since the year 1846; while the number of newspapers has & increas ed two fold. In London, the increase in the cir- culation of newspapers has ulso been immense, but not to the same extent as in Paris, the cost being greater, and « any of the journals being ad- dressed almost exclusively to what are regarded as the intelligent and respectable classes. But the great masses of the people in the British me- tropolis, and throughout the British empire, are not without their organs. Several papers—some of them sareastic, and others, partly literary, and vartly political, published at a cheap rate—cireu late extensively, and have been performing a mighty part in that grand revolution in the minds of men which is now, despite of all lets and hin- drances, proceeding slowly but certainly in the realin of Victona. In New York, the increase in the circulation o newspapers has been at the rate of sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety per cent, tor the last few years. The improvements and progress ia machinery, in enterprise of all kinds connected with this busi- ness, have been in a corresponding ratio. Some years ago the amount of capital necessury to establish a daily journal was comparatively trifliag. Now it requires a vast outlay of pecuniary incans, great experience, diversified aud practical talent in all departments. The cost of publication has been augmented enormously ; but of course, the te profits and value of newspaper property vinereased, and by and bye will be very e, equalling, or more Likely surpassing, the lucrative establishments of that kind in the eh metropolis. We haversaid that the tone and character of journalism in the great capitals of the civiliz world, bave experienced great chunges. So it 1s. Look at the leading Loadon newspapers of to- day, and contrast them with what they were some five, six, or ten years ago! You do not now fiad, or you rarely find, those solemn, graudiloqueat “leaders,” filled with all aorts of stale, common place, and sounding bombast. A nervous, con- deneed, practical style, dashed with witand satire, and telling allusions to the history of the day, is becoming more and more characteristic of British journalism in the metropolis, We belicve that with this style of newspaper writing, our readers have been familiar for years; and we are some- what inclined to believe, that our example hus not been without some effeet in introducing this innovation in the old, orthedox, antiquated mode and manner of newspaper literature. In this day, the great popular newspaper is at once the review, the magazine, the history, the scientific instructor, and the journal of the day. We have been greatly insterested in tracing the influence of that journalism which handles all topics and questions that concern society, with boldness, freedem, moderation, and justice. By this agency, mighty revolutions have been effected in public opinion, ancient prejudices have been extirpated, and habits of sound and accu- rate thinking have been established. Slowly, to the eye of many altogether unseen, this influence has been at work, like the operations of nature herself, just as that, for instance, by which the ouk attains its grand proportions— ‘First, seedling bid im grasa, Then twig. then rupling. and as century rolls Slow after century, a giant bulk, Gf girth enormous.” Thus, too, grows the opinion of great communi- ties; and that press best fulfils its mission, which steadily imitates the process of nature, and moulds and directs the thoughts of men, not by fits and starts, one day years in advance and anether years behind, but by uniform and patient adherence to a fixed and predetermined plan. But a new element has been recently introduced into journaliem, which is destined to effect a revo- lution which we can hardly yet imagine. We allude to the electric telegraph. This agency will concentrate, enlarge, amplify, and revolutionize the journalism of the great centres of thought and civilization, beyond anything that we have yet seen. We are as yet only in the infancy of that wonderful invention in this country; but that infancy has advanced much more rapidly toward manhood here than on the other side of the Adantic. Every day, the leading journals of New York give from one to three, four, or five columns of important in- tclligence, up to the latest hour of the day previous, from the most distant parts of the country, thus ex- hibiting in one sheet the whole history of the entire continent for the preceding four and twenty hours, including all the important points, from fifty to fifteen hundred miles distant. Thus, the most re- mote portions of the country are united ina few moments of time; and thus, New Orleans, St. Lou: Buflalo, Poston, Montreal, Washington, are made but the suburbs of the great metropolis of the Union. Already, the progress of telegraphing, in connec- tign with the newspaper press, is very great; suf- ficiently so to shadow forth, with distinctness, the grandeur of its influence hereafter. The next ses- sion of Congress—and a most important and event- ful session it will be—will afford an opportunity to the enterprising journalist to exhibit the value of thia new and powertui auxiliary of journalism. Impor- tant debates and proceedings, in both houses of Congress, may be reported, during next morning, inthe New York journals, up to the latest hour before going to press. The efivct of this piece of enterprise will be remarkable. Washington will become a suburb of this city. We will reap all the advantages of having Congress here, except these accruing to tavern-keepers, by the increased sale of ivditierent brandy and water; while another movement will be made towards the centralization of all the intelligence and thought in the conatry ia this metropolis. 7 ultiae Lave ynom Samra Luonk.—Dy the arrival, yee terday, of the brig Loretto, from Sierra Leone, which place che left on the 20th ult, we learn from Capt. Thurston, there were two slavers taken on the 10th and 1th of May; one of them had 600 slaves on board. Both had been condemned. A sebooner had been brought in on the Bih, but had Lot been disposed of. The schooner Larch arrived at Sierra Leone fier England on the 12th of May, and sailed for Monrovia on the 14th, She was seat out by the Dritich government as a present to the Repablic of Liberia.

Tae Warsting Piaces' ann Ornue Suuuce Rerreats.—Saratoga and Newport, Sharon, Wh'te Sulphur, Redford and Lebanon Springs, Niagara, lake Mahopac, Rockaway, Long Branch, Cape May, Catskill Mountains, Nahant, and the whole lint of spas, cataracts, sea beach, and mountain re- treats, are destined to reap advantage during the present season from the magnified fears of thou- sands of cits, who will seek these places of re lirement and quiet,in order to escape the danger of contagion or infection during the prevalence of tho cholera in the eitie: We look upon this aa a real good, though grow- ing out of the existence of circumstances which are certainly to be deplored. Heretofore, the re- gular visitants at the watering places have been the exerescent parts of what is termed good so- ciety. The more substantial, and the really re fiued, have sought recreation elsewhere than amidst the din and confusion of crowded, fashion- able, miscellaneous, questionable assemblages, such as were to be found at the places above enume- rated. But this year they have gone earher than usual; and the accounts received from the fashion- able hotels assure us that they are fast filling up with hondreds and thousands of respectable citizens, who leave the cares and perplexities of business for a season, to enjoy, with their families, the benefits to be derived from pure air, wholesome’ diet, bathing, rural sports, etc. It has been said, by those who are disposed to find fault with us, that the eitizeas of New York are too much attached to their business; that they work, work, work, from early yoath to old age, hardly ceasing from the toils of the counting room, office, or study, long enough to give jaded nature a chance to deal fairly with the physical system.— ‘There is too much truth in all this, as is abundant- ly proven by the numerous victiras to dyspepsia and other disorders, engendered by overtasking the mental powers, while the physical energies are left to must and grow useless from sheer want of use. ‘That most popular of volumes, the “ Nursery Rhymes,” hath it, that ‘All work and no play, mekes Jack a gull boy;” and the Jack of said purse- ry notoriety is no exception, but one to whom a general rule applies. It surely will give vigor to the limbs, strength to the mind, aud joy, which shall beam from the countenance, to abandon the severe routine of business fer a season, and feel one’s self a boy aguin, by indulging in rational re- creations for a few weeks. Itis the fault of people themselves, that these summer recreations are at- tended with such extravagance and expense. There will always be invitations to prodigal outlays, wher- ever there is a temporary assemblage of: pleasure seekers; but it by no means follows that a person gains caste or reputation by profusely scattering his money about him and throwing it into the hands of those whom he neither knows nor cares to know. In fact, one can live just as respectably ata watering place as he can at a city hotel, at only a slightly increased expenze. ‘The exorbitant exactions of all sorts of menials and small traders may be for the most part avoided, without the least compromise of dignity or respectability. It is these same exorbitant exactions which deter many from visiting the places of summer resort. And, by the way. it would be well for the hotel- keepers, and others interested, to discountenance the swamns of petty leeches that swarm in and around the halls, avenues, pleasure grounds, &c., of these resorts. It would be decidedly to their advantage to putan end to all unfiir churges for small services and small commodities; and even the dependants and petit dealers would find their profit in reasonable charges for services rendered and articles of comfort or luxury supplied. Mo- derate charges would briug increased patronage, and the ‘nimble sixpence” would, at the end of the season, be found to have produced more than the present “ slow shilling.” Overgrown fortunes are not among the peculi- arities of our country, and is an utter absurdity for plain republicans to ape the nonsensical extra- vagances peculiar to European numskulls of over- grown fortunes. Tux Crpa Qu 10N.—Mr. Thomas Caute Rey- nolds has written another letter relative to the Cuba negotiation in Madrid, and the Hon. Mr. Saunders. It is particularly severe on Mr. S. We shall endeavor to find room for the whole, ora part of it, in to-morrow’s paper. Tho Sreamsnir Fatcon will sail to-day, for Chagres, to touch at Havans, &e. &c. Sho will take quites large number of passengers, and the mails for the Pacitie. Among the newest additions to this steamer, is the excellent appointment of Dr. J. L. Osborne, as surgeon. Dr, 0. is to be attached to the now and splendid steamer Georgia; but while he is getting ready for sea, he will go in the Falcon. Surgeons should be appointed to every passenger steamer. Ina ship full of people, there is nothing s0 much needed, to give confidence, as @ medical officer— one who understands his business. Sporting Intelngence. Ustox Course, L.

Then came a change in the courts, and new judges wero elected to preside over the several depart- ments.
