Great anxiety pervades the whole country with | regard to the next news from Europe. It will bring us intelligence of the fate of Rome—of the fortunes of struggling Hungary—of the position of the President of France—and of the progress of | revolution and liberty in Europe at this most eventful crisis.

The news will be eonveyed to us by telegraph and express, as usual, and be published in an extra as soon as it comes to | hand. i | «The Confidence Man” on a large Scale. | During the last week or ten days, the public | have been entertained by the police reporters with several amusing descriptions of the transactions | ef a certain financial genius, who rejoices in the soubriquet of the “Confidence Man.” It appears | that the personage who has earned this eupho- | nious and winning designation, has been in the habit of exercising his powers of moral suasion to an extent almost equal to that attained by Father | Mathew himself. Accosting a well-dressed gen- | tleman in the street, the “Confidence Man,” ina familiar manner, and with an easy nonchalance, worthy of Chesterfield, would playfully put the in- quiry—“ Are you really disposed to put any confi- dence in me?’ This interrogatory, thus put, ge- | nerally met an affirmative answer. After all, | there is a great deal of “ the milk of human kind- ness” even in the inhabitants of great cities, and he must be a very obdurate sinner who can resist areally scientific appeal to his vanity. “Well, then,” continues the ‘Confidence Man,” ‘just Jend me your watch till to-morrow!” The victim, already in the snare of the fowler, complies, with agrin; and, jokingly receiving one of Tobias’ best, | the “Confidence Man” disappears around the next corner. To-morrow comes, but not with it the watch, or the charmer; and Mr. “Done Brown” | finally awakes to a sense of his folly, when he tells | his sad story,amid the suppressed titterings of hard- hearted policemen,in the office of Mr. Justice McGrath, at the Tombs. Fate, however, is hard. Jt may be true that fortune favors the brave; but sometimes, “with malicious joy,” she puts the bravest in limbo. The “Confidence Man,” at present, occupies a very small apartmeat in a famous building in Centre street. But while lamenting the sudden withdrawal of this distigguished “operator” from the active | business of “ the street,” we cannot exclaim with | the Moor—“ Othello’s occupation’s gone!” As you saunter through some of those fashionable streets and squares which ornament the upper part of this magnificent city, you cannot fail to be strack | by the splendor of some of the palazzos which meet | the eye in all directions. Lordly dwellings are they, of marble and granite—with imposing por- | ticoes—and great windows of stained glass—and | ment of his ** bonds.” during all the time occupied by this process of | * confidence,” a munificent salary ; and, choosing | the proper, appropriate, exact nick of time, he should have retired to a life of virtuous ease, the possessor of a clear conscience, and one million of He should have drawn, dollars! All this the “Confidence Man” did not do. Af- flicted with obstinate blindness, his steps would not take hold on the paths that lead to Wall street and a palace. Let him rot, then, in * the | Tombs,” while the ‘Confidence Man on a large scale” fattens, in his palace, on the blood and sweat of the green ones of the land! Let him eat the mouldy crust and drink the turbid water of theprison ; while the real * Confidence Man” lazily | mumbles the choicest dainties and quafls the regal wine of Burgundy! Let his ears ring withthe harsh discords of * the Tombs;” while the true “ Confi- dence Man ” is wooed to delicious repose by siren voices, and strains, soft and melting as those of the harp of Zolus! Lethim rot in “ the Tombs,” we cay again, while the genuine * Confidence Man” stands one of the Corinthian columns of society— eads the lists of benevolent institutions—sits in the grandest pew of the grandest temple—spreads | new snares for new victims—and heaps up fresh fuel for the day of wrath, which will one day fol- low the mandate of the God of Justice and the peor man! Success, then, to the real ‘* Confidence Man!” Long life to the real “* Confidence Man!” —the ‘Confidence Man ” of Wall street—the “Confidence Man” of the palace up town—the | “Confidence Man” who battens and fattens on the plunder coming from the poor man and the man of moderate means! As for the * Confidence Man ” of * the Tombs,” he is a cheat, a hambug, a delusion, a sham, a mockery! Let him rot! ANNEXATION OF CANADA. — GENERAL Le Within a very brief time, three of our distinguished men have written letters on various subjects, viz :—Mr. Clayton, Secretary of State under General Taylor, on Fourth of July celebra- tions and the labors of offices Henry Clay, on the Fourth of July alone; and lastly, General Scott, on the annexation of Her Britannic Majesty’s Canadian possessions. ‘This is all very well. Every one is pleased to hear the opinions of owr great men on | the current topics of the day, so that by a compari- son of views and cogitations, the policy most ad- vantageous to the interests of the country may be pursued. We confess, however, that we have been more | than a little surprised at the contents of the letter | emanating from General Scott. That distinguished officer deserves well of his country for the gallant part which he has, through a leng life, acted in her military service, and the American people have always, and with great unanimity, acknowledged his cleims. He is beloved by his fellow-citizens, and on more occasions than one, his name has been mentioned in connection with the presidency of the United States. But yet we doubt if he has ever been consulted before, on matters of a purely poli- tical character, or his advice sought on subjects not connected with his profession as a soldier. If, however, he has not been consulted before, we now have his views on a very interesting and im- portant subject—one which is being discussed throughout the length and breadth of the continent —we mean the annexation of Canada; and we are happy to say that his views on that matter, coincide with the sentiments of a great portion of the Ame- rican people. General Scott is in tavor of peace- many years, a union of those provinces with this republic, will take place. But such a union must the General says, nor should we commit any other act of bad faith against Great Britain. All this we are sure will be responded to by a great majority of the American people, albeit the annexation of Canada would re-open the discus- sion concerning slavery, in a more extended and virulent form than ever, and pave the way for the accession of additional Southern territory, to counterbalance the anti. Canada would exert In the national councils. United Stotes, however, must keep spreading—we cannot prevent, it if we would. But why has the opinion of General Scott on the subject been asked and promulgated at this particular time? Can it be that this is the beginning of a movement, to place him before the people as the whig candidate extensive conservatories filled with the rarest ex- ‘otice—and massive doors and stairways of costly | wood—and curiously carved and gilded balus- | trades—and lofty ceilings, painted in the highest | for the Presidency in 18527 We will not say that it is; but it certainly looks a little ike at.

A full report of the condition of the company was made by the retiring President, Mr. Griflin—showing that the line, for the eight months it has ‘1 in operation, has done a large and profitable business, notwithstanding the difficulties attendant on the first operations of a new work of its magnitude. Several hundred mules of additional second wire have been put up— principally from the earnings of the firet—and the line improved in other particulars. It has now a fair prospect ef becoming a most useful and pro- fitable line, and when the rates of charge are re- duced, it will unquestionably become still more so. Apropos to telegraphs. What is the matter on the Eastern line? On Monday night, we lost a despatch in consequence of some difficulty between this city and Boston. On inquiry into the cause, we ascertained that the construction ef one of the new lines—House’s, we believe—interfered with the operation ef the old line. In putting up the wires on the new line, the old line is crossed and recrossed, and thus our communications, among others, are lost. Now, we hope that the new line will not interfere any more with the old one ; there ie certainly room enough between here and Dose ton for the wires of both.

They are tor- mented by a continual itching for notoriety, in any form or shape. When they succeed in getting their nemes into the newspapers, they are ina frenzy of delight. One of the principal means of publicity of which these creatures availthemselves is presented in the arrival of any stranger who has made himself famous in any particular line of human exertion or human eccentricity. On such cccusions, they buzz around the new-comer, like a swarm of wasps around a cask of molasses. They seize on the victim as their lawful and predestined prey; they crowd him, crush him, bespatter him, pull him, haul him, worry him, tease him, sting him, praise him, stun him, hoax him, sicken him— all but kill him with their disinterested and un- paralleled kindness! Fathew Mathew has not escaped the usual in- fiction: indeed, he has been a perfect god-send to ambitious “ marshals” and aspiring philaathro- pists, and illustrious common-council men, not satisfied with the imperishable honors won on the Tenth of May. Indeed, there has been sucha press made by these gentry about the reverend father—such a halo of glory has surrounded him, in his satellites, that we have hardly yet hada chance to inspect the features or study the charac- ter of the good man himself. The dust of his re- ception was so thick, that the hero of the scene was all but invisible. Surrounded by a crowd of so many distinguished friends and admirers, “the | noise and confusion have been so great” as to prevent the Father from being himself heard. The public eye was dazzled by the splendor of the cere- monial_ of his entrée into the city.

Now, however, the illustrious Smiths, and Jacksons, and Thempsons, and Browns, and Vanderdunkers, and McShanes, and all the other magnificoes have had their wishes. Their names have been made immortal in the newspapers. The boys have fea: ed their eyes on their scarfs and their batons, and their banners and their prancing steeds. All Broad- way has been dazzled by the grand procession of the city authorities and their brilliant cortége. At last the dust clears away.

Union Covnsr—Sxconn Day—Taortinc.—The fine weather, and the sport anticipated, induced an unusu- ally large attendance at the Union yesterday, and a an early hour of the afternoon, the roads were thronged with carriages and vehicles of every deseription. Pe- destrians, too, might have been seen from every direc- tion, wending their way, as best they could. to the trot- ting track, ll anxious to reach therein season. The railroad cars brought out great numbers, and the course presented a scene of unusual enlivenment—being dotted with carriages filled with ladies and gentlemen; whilst the stands exhibited a thronged appearance of interested and curious spectators. The day was beau- tiful, the afternoon delightful, the air fresh and fra- grant, and everything calculated for a day of unalloyed pleasure ‘The track was in good order for fast work, and high hopps were entertained that something unprecedented would be done; but, as the result shows, all were dis- appointed. When the time had arrived for the appearance of the horses, they were severally led on to the track by those having them in charge, and we nt through: their accus- tomed exercise previous to the event ofthe day. Each animal underwent a very close examination, and a general review, which terminated rather unsatisfacto- rily asto their condition, Mac being lame, Jack Rossi- ter too gross -too meaty—and Lady Suffolk so sore, and apparently worn ont by her exertions on Monday, that arun in pasture field would have been more appro- riate to her situation than the severe contest before er. Notwithstanding Mac’s lameness, however, his admirers were very confident of his ability to win, and freely backed him at long odds against the fleld— cpening at 100 to $0 on him, then two to one, and fivally 100 to 0 were offered and taken. Although few were will) % to risk much money on Rossiter, yet he had many admirers, owing to his fine appearauce. He is a beautiful enimal, a bright bay, with a glossy coat and gay style of action, The following is the race :— First Heot.—The mare won the laside of the track, Jack Rossiter the second place, Mac the outside. The horses came up finely for the word, aud went off at a rapid rate, Mac leading. Rossiter second, and the mare third, Mac broke up badly soon after leaving the score, and fell off fifty yards before he recovered.— Rossiter led round to the first quarter, one length ahead of Suffolk, in thirty-eight seconds, and kept in | front of the mare down the back stretch, going aplen- didly. She appeared to labor iuch in keeping | up with him,aud it was palpable that Mr. Bryant | was using every effort to force her faster forward. could not, however; the mare was doing all that her | ts and over-worn nature would admit, | led to the half mile pole in 1:15; passing which, he broke up, the mare following his exawple im: mediately afterwards. Rossiter soon recovered ; but it was some time before the mare became steady. | In the meantime Mac, had been busy, aud by the | time the riders of Rossiter and Suffolk had recovered from their accidents, he was four or five lengths ahead of Suffolk, and clore upon the heels of Jack. The race now increased in interest. Gil Crane was anxious to take tbe lead, while Mr. John Case was just as anxious that he should not, and whip and spur were freely | applied to both horses. They went round the turn and up the home stretch to the score very finely, and | close together, Jack retaining the lead. He passed the stand in 2:31;. Going round the upper turn he drew and an opinion began to prevail ainong the crowd that Jack Rossiter was sume on the present occasion. Lady Suilolk, during this contention between the horses and their jockeys, had been straining and strug- gling slong to keep up with them, or at least to make @ respectable appezrance; but’ she lost ground all the way. When the horses crossed the score on the first mile, she was more than thirty yards behind them, and when they were at the half mile pole of ‘the second mile, she was one hundred a true philanthropist. His is the charity of the gospel of Christ, and his philosophy comes from the same source. He does not come before the world with splendid schemes for the reformation of the race, which set out by overturning the whole social system, and promising a paradise on earth, if men would only consent to relinquish all hopes of heaven. He holds that the genuine reformer must begin with the individual, and the means of regeneration which he employs are the weapons of reason, of argument, of moral suasion, of Christian charity. Hence his success. God speed him and his work! ‘Tur Late Coroner. Duxcax.—The sudden and unexpected demise of this accomplished officer has excited the liveliest emotions of grief in this community.

At half-past one o’clock she bore away from 9th street, and headed up the East river beyond Green Point, when she turned and made for the ocean in gallant style. She cut the water beautifully, and some scientific men on board expressed their admiration of her splendid sailing powers. After sailing into the Atlantic about thirty-five miles from the Battery, she turned back, to the gratification of some of the ladies, who felt a little squeamish from the roll of the ocean swell, notwithstanding the fair wea- her, and to the eye of the casual observer, the smooth plain that stretched itself all around. A magnificent lunch was prepared for the guests invited to take part in the excursion. The boat was literally filled with passengers ; but the ladies, according to the uniform courtesy of the United States, were first taken care of, and then the gen- tlemen had to shift for themselves. We regret sincerely that the hospitality of the munificent owners was abused on this occasion. A number of men secreted themselves in the vessel, who were not invited, and some of them contrived to make everything as uncomfortable as they could. The captain, with a cool courage and firmness that re- flect high honor upon him, took summary vengeance upon one ruffian who was disturbing the peace of the ship, and henceforward all was quiet. For the sake ot the great principle of democra- cy, we were sorry to see an abuse of it in another way. Ic was truly disgusting to see men in their shirts sleeves and unwashed, rush into these splen- did apartments, to partake of the fure provided tor those who were expected to conduct themselves as American citizens ought. We have reason to know that this conduct was exceedingly offensive to the ladies present, and we trust we shall* neve see it repeated in a country proverbial for its res- pect to the fair sex. . a Democracy is glorious ; but never let its princi- ples be sullied by rudeness. Its present enemies are those who abuse and pervert its privileges.— champagne flowed in , and altogether the lunch was prince- abundance as . .No pains were spared by the proprietors, or by the excellent steward, Mr. Redtord, wh: 1 le v Ose EX- | ertions on this occasion are beyond all p; | On the arrival of the Empire City at pier No. 2 North River, about 8 o’clock, she was greeted by an immense crewd of spectators with loud cheers. Much us we before valued the covering of the main deck from the sun, we only saw its great im- portance yesterday by experience. There was a Balighshd current of air, with complete protection from the direct rays of the sun, during the hottest part of the day. {n the evening, most of the ladies preferred the hurricane deck, and whether we con- sider the view from: it or the cooling breeze, it was truly dehghttul. The day was beautifully fine for the sail, and seldom have we seen so many people 60 completely gratitied. We are the more delight- ed at the evident success of this line, from the pre- ference given by goverament to another and an inferior line of steamers. Enterprise and the peo- ple set all things right in this free country.
