France herself may be forced to seek protection from her, if the present President and army cannot put down anarchy. Meanwhile, Great Britain has decided it to be her policy to keep aloof from continental at- fairs, unless forced into them. She penetrates and is jealous of the designs of Russia, but will not be able, even were she disposed, to counteract them by spending her blood and treasures in such a contest. Let us watch and pray. ‘Tue Cuoirrs—Panto—Dastrrvtion ann Iirro- rer Mepicat, Treatment.—A great deal of speca- lation, conjecture, and theorizing about the nature and causes of the epidemic now prevailing through- out the country, has appeared in the newspapers, seme of it ingenious and some of it silly. We have not as yet seen anything like # really philoso- phical and scientific investigation of the subject, either in the medical journals or the newspapers. In the meantime, the disease is carrying off great numbers, anda panic has been created, which is ptobably producing as much disease and death as the cholera itself, A careful examination of the ‘facts in the case, however, discloses some curious results, which are worthy of attentive study. In the first place, we have been struck by the large number of deaths among the infant popula- lation. Every one was startled by the aggregate of the daily bills of mortality during the last week. One thousand four hundred and nine interments in (Tue Peace Sociert.—The enn iety hus now been/‘in existence 1 OF fdur years. But aft e most diligent; search through our foreign al files, we liave not been able to discover that it has made the slightest approach towards the object it professes to have in view, which is nothing less than to bring about the millenium, when spears are to be turned into reap- ing hooks, eword@ into ploughshares, and the hon is quietly to lie down with the lamb. Such is the happy paradise the members of the Peace Preservation Society promise us, the people of the nineteenth century. We confess, that if ever there wag a time to test the theory of this notable society, the present is the most fitting and appropriate, when ull Europe, ‘from the sunny south to the furthest extremity of |. the black north, is convulsed and in arms ; when two kings of France are fugitives and wanderers from their dominions; when the Pope of Rome, the bulwark of Christianity and aristocracy, has been driven from the patrimony of Saint Peter, and the Eternal City itself is now in the hands of foreign mercenaries, with all its treasures and anti- quities ; when one emperor of Germang has been forced to divest himéelf of the parple, and, atter all, his successor is little better at this moment than a fugitive ; when nothing 1s heard all ever Germany but the clangor and din of arms, the marching and countermarching of troops, the fkght of priaces and nobles one day, the massacre of their people and their return to power the next; when the hordes of Russia ‘are advancing into Hungary, to crash and enslave that gallant people, and with the ul- terior view of overrunning all Europe ; and though one week was, indeed, analarming announcement. “Of this large number of deaths, five hundred and fifty-three were children under ten years of age. Of whet class? Why, chiefly of the poor, the wretched, the destitate, the forlorn and helpless, very day, by the steamers—excites the public mind much more than in former years, when news came from abroad at uncertain intervals. Europe was then afar off, and excited, comparatively speaking, but little interest; but now, when we. have news every week, brought to us in nine, ten, and twelve days, it would seem as if European Bations were nearer—we feel more deeply interest- ed im their aflairs—they are no longer strangers; “and what is passing there is matter that con- » cerns us deeply. In addition, there are other and more powerful reasons for this sympathy, which have growa up within the last few years, and particularly since | the introduction ot ocean steamnavigation. There | are few sections in any country in Europe, that have not more or less representatives in America. Scarcely a city, town, or petty village in Ger- many, France, Great Britain or Italy, whose po- pulation is not connected with this land by tles of relationship and friendship, by those who have left their European birth spots to find a home in this land of freedom. The representatives from the masses of Europe exert a far more powerful influence on the other aide of the Atlantic, than presses and papers, and more direct in their influence, by the millions of little paper missives that are despatched by them frem their more prosperous homes, under a free flag, every week, and regularly reaching their scattered destinations in every nook and corner of Europe, unexamined by the public censors of the press, or by any eyes, save those for whom they are intend- ed. No wonder that in Continental Europe, thrones are upset, and monarchs driven into exile. No wonder a Pope is deposed, and shorn of temporal power. These family bulletins are doing their work ; truths, facts, and contrasts are set forth in them, and go to every household, and into every home in Germany. More powerful than the press, not to be guarded against, like the undertow of the ‘ocean, its power is resistless, unseen, yet felt with terrible power wherever it reaches, or what- ever it embraces. It is this that has, to a cer- tain extent, caused the embers of revolution to burst out into an almost simultaneous blaze all over Europe; and our own attitude in the world, as a people, 18 one that would ill deserve freedom, could we look unmoved upon the strag- gles of others who but imitate us, and are striving to achieve the freedom that blesses our Unien. Yet, while we sympathise with the nations of Europe who have flung off the yoke, or are striving | to free themselves from despotic sway, we cannot | but be struck with the different position ia which | they are placed, from what we were when our an™ | cestors succeeded, by power of arms, in separating | from Great Britain, and establishing a free repub- | lican form of government for themselves and their | descendants, and the hundreds of thousands who have since come to these shores and become citi- | zens. Nations are not always fit for hberty, nor the | people of a nation for freedom. They do not un- derstand it, and it becomes a curse. If they throw off a monarch, anarchy is exalted to the vacant | throne, and becomes the worst of tyrants. The people themselves then seek for protection ; and he | who can protect life and property—be he general, consul, or emperor—becomes a saviour, and the idol of the masses. This accounts for the rapid | somerset sometimes exhibited by a people, from the greatest freedom to the worst of despotisms— | amilitary one. We have, in former years, seen | France go through all these changes. They ere | the records of history; and France and the French | ; | seem, at this moment, to be on the eve of a similar | ehange. i She 2rove out 0 despotic, but once a eitiaed | king, made by her own peopl where does she now stand? A President, elected for his name alone, alreadygdependent upon the army for support and existence! A portion of tha; in order to foster religious prejudices, and to javor—have encamped in and about Rome! A French general, operating with a French army» against a new republic, to reinstate the Pope over Roman republican citizens! will continue unsettled. And what is to be the result?) Who will rise up out of future events to be a leader is a problem. She has made a great blunder in the Roman matter, and the result will be disastrous. ‘The army will probably produce some man who ean control the movement, and be able to protect the property and people of France against themselves. The present year will do much te decide the fate ef Continental Europe for tweaty or thirty y to some. The seat of interest, and of future events, wm the war waging in Hungary. That brave nation ia the main epring which will move Continental Eu. | rope. Austria has not sufficient power to subdue her, and has called in the aid of Russia. Mangaty is fighting for something substantial. By compact, | she formed a part of the Austrian empire. That compact has existed for centuries. Austria has violated ard trampled upon that compact, which gave certain privileges to the Hungarians, and the latter have withdrawn from the union, and war is the consequence. The Russian armies are in the field against her. If Hungary should be able to withstand them, and should drive out the Rus sians, the Russian empire itself is in danger. The effects in Russia would be terrible. That point attracts universal attention over forty millions of the Sclavonian race, whe form the great body of the Russian em- pire, who would rise to her overthrow. She would find it difficult to resist the spirit of revolution, which would go eastward with her de- feated armies. If, on the contrary, Hungary should be subdoed, and the Russians prove vie- toriour, Western Lurope is in danger. The Czar would be strengthened toa degree that resistance against him and the Russian armies would be hopeless. Austria would be restored to her former power and despotic rights, and yet be under the @omplete control and direction of Russia So, in fact, would be all the principal powers of Germany. ‘The erisis is now nearly at hand. Lurepe is to formed and adopt | ed a constitution; elected a President; and— | Thus, France | | attend to our busines: There are | who are crowded togetherin filthy habitations, reek- ing with pestilential gases and humaneflluvia. Of course, a large proportion of the adult cases, also, | | | { suffering classes of the community. Abject poverty | is the most prolific parent of disease. Look at the | revolting spectacle which is presented in various quarters of this Christian city, in the congrega- tions of humanity huddled together in wretched tenements, clothed in rags, and feeding on garbage. Yes, within the sound of the bells | of many of those gorgeous temples, im which the bloated sons and daughters of Mammon im- | agine they worship God, you find streets and lanes and court yards crammed with starving, | despairing, shivering human beings, for whom the hearts of the builders and the patrons of those magnificent churches have never yet felt one sympathetic throb. When have the preachers, who live in palaces, visited those regions of wretchedness and despair? What has the Chris- tian charity of the age done for those classes? What have your tremendous meetings at the Tabernacle done in order to relieve this wholesale suffering? ‘Truly, it does look like just retribu- tion, the breaking forth of theze awful pesuleaces, which, originating amongst the huts of poverty, quickly carry terror and death into the palaces of the rich. Improper medical treatment, and the want of any medical treatment, have doubtless carried off | hundreds. There is in this city an immense num- ber ot medical impostors and quacks, both of the “regular” and “irregular” school. Probably in no city in the civilized world is the medical pro- feesion at so low an ebb asin the metropolis ot the United States. We have had abundant evidence of that during the prevalence of the present epi- demic, in the bungling, blundering, unprofessionay menner in which the medical officers of the | corporation have conducted themselves. It is | stated by a physician of Boston, who visited | this city, in order to study the cholera, as it | presented itself amongst us, that he did not | know a tingle instance in which a physician | or student of medicine had made his ap- | | pearance at any of the cholera hospitals for the | purpose of observing and investigating the disease. | The same gentleman also speaks in the severest | terms of rebuke with regard to the management of | these hospitals. But there can be no doubt that | many of the poorer classes of patients have been | subjected to the grossest maltreatment. Oae of | our cotemporaries published, the other day, several pecimens of the style in which New York physi~ ians furnish the certificates required by the City Inspector, and the proof thus afforded of their igao- | Trance and etupidity was‘’tt oace amusing and me- | lancholy! Such spelling! Such orginality of expression! Such an extraordinary nomenclature | of disease! Bad food—bad ventilation—bad efiluvia—bad doctors—bad drugs—these are among the potent agencies of destruction, which swell our bills o mortality. Thousands and thousands of poor im- | migrants have been landed at our wharves during — the last six weeks, and great numbers ot them, de- | terred from proceeding to the West, by the dread of the cholera, have remained amongst us, adding another element of disease and mortality to those already in existence. Last week, one-half | | of the deaths were emong the foreign population. | | Meanwhile, what are the authorities about? What means have they taken to prevent disease | among the crowded haunts of poverty all along the | East River, and in the wards up town, in which | the mortality is so great? Why have they not | provided a sufficient number of compstent physi- | cans, if such can be found, to attend the poor in | the various wards? Why do they not establish | depots for the dispensation of genmmne drugs, if such can be got, to be given gratuitously to those unable to pay for medicine? Why content them- } celves with the opening ef three or four hospital | to which only the dying and the dead are con- | veyed t Why not distribute, copiously, Grant's disinfectant fluid, which Dr. Geer so strongly re- | commends, but of which we know nothing ? Let | its propertres be tested fally, atall events, and the | | properties of all the fluids of the same character. Why are not the streets swept and cleaned early | in the morning, instead of the daytime, to the an- | noyance, and, 1t may be, the serious danger of the public 7 In one word, why is there not a vigorous intelligent, practical, thorough discharge of their | duty on the part of the authorities, at this crise?

The truth is, there never was a more monstrous ) delusion than the theory broached by this fanatical | society ; it is the most baseless, the most unattain- | able and wildest vagary that has disturbed the | imagination of mankind since the days of the Cru- sades. Livery man of common sense now admits | that the crusades were not only absurd and fool- ish, but wicked and mischievous ; but, absurd and wicked as they were, it will be found, upor a little examination, that they were not altogether so base- less and visionary as_the vagary of the Peace So- ciety; there was some foundation for the crusades; there was, in those days, sucha nation as the Turks; they had overrun the greatest portion of Asia, had threatened to overrun Christendom, too, and to plant the crescent in place of the cross, all over Europe. Let itbe remembered that Europe was only then emerging from a state of barbarism— that the people were imbued with all the zeal and piety of the early Christians—that chivalry was ia its mendian, and, to crown all, the Pope and his | clergy hadthe sinews of war at their command. Looking ut the state of human affairs as they then existed, and the vartous events by which they were influenced through a succession of genera- tions, it is not, we think, surprising that the Pope ehould attempt to drive the Saracens out of Pa- lestine, regaim possession of it, and extend his | power and authority over that country, which was alone what he aimed at. Hus the Peace Society the same materials to | work witht—has ita foundation upon which to | erect a temple to universal peace and concord?— | has it got the sinews of war, and can it raise an army to carry out its behests?

What would the Emperor of Russia say to | this coterie, if they sent him a protocol requesting him to withdraw his armies from Hungary and Circassia, and in future to keep within his owa | territories? He would answer them in the same _ language that Napoleon answered the fruit wo- man in Paris—he would say to them, ‘ genile- | men, aitend to your own business, but allow me to | manege my own affairs.” Would not the pre- sent ruler of France make them the same reply, | if they called upon him to withdraw his army from Rome? and, in such an event, what power have they to enforce their decrees, or to coerce despots and compel them to keep their ambition within rea- sonable limits. The law of nations, which is the only tribunal they could appeal to. makes no provi- sion for such contingencies. ‘The doctrines of the Peace Society are, there- fore, only an ignis fatwus, calculated to coufound and mislead the minds of mea. They are a living lie, because they are contrary to our past and pre- sent experience. History teaches us that the hu- man race has, for more than 3,000 years, been at | war with each other; and it teaches us further, that at is umpracticable, for any considerable leagth of time, to preserve peace between either king- doms or republics, or even within the boundaries of a particular state or country, But, above all, we are taught by revelation, that wara and rumors of wars were from the beginning, and that such will contypue to the end of time. Amenican Conscis—Stranak Procerixas.—I' is really time that some movement should be made defining the duties of American Consuls. We frequently hear of them interfering between mas- ters of vessels and their commands, displacing officers, putting others in their stead, on ex parte #tatemente, and otherwise deing injury to the com- mercial interests of the country, as well as to in- dividuals. Tt was only the other day that one of | those officials displaced the master of a vessel, on the complaint of some of his passeagers, for grievances, realor imaginary, which they stated he had subjected them to, and sent home, while his chop was sent on her voyage under the com- mand of another master. As sooa the dis- charged captain returned to New York, he laid the whole subject before his owners, and the re- sult was that he was reinstated in his position, and the Consul’s doings negatived. A sim:lar oocur- rence has taken place very recently. A vessel was given to an experienced shipmaster, on a voyage from New Orleans to San Franciseo. As soon as it reached Rio Janeiro, a person, assuming to be the agent of the owners, applied to the United States Consul to have the captain removed, and on an ex parte statement, and without giving the captain an opportunity to rebut the charges agains, , the Consul summarily dispossessed him of hie command, and when the captain protested against the proceedings, he was threatened with irons and imprisonment. We trust the government at Washington will make a full and complete investigation of this mat- ter, and if itis found that the Consul has acted wrongfully, that he will be recalled expe | ditiously as possible. This is another of the imperfection of our consular ¢: is fail time for it to be remodelled. As it stends, many of our Consuls are foreigners, having no interest in common with us, many of them never having seen the United States; and most of them are engaged in commercial busi- nees themselves, having interests conflicting with those of our own citizens. Many attempts have been made to effect reformation in our consular system, but the time of our legislators is so much occupied in discussing abstractions, and in further- ing factioniem, that they have had no leisure to at- tend to any measures connected with the welfare of the country. We hope this subject will be taken | in hand ot the next session of Congress. No fo- | reigner should be allowed to act as Consul of the | United States; neither should any man eng ged in | commercial business. They snould receive, also, a fixed compeneation. The fee system should be abolished entirely. ‘The following products pasted through the weigh- loeks of the canal. at Roehester, N.Y. during the week ending the 24th ingtant : flour, 92.741 barrels; corn, 154.445 bushels; wheat, 22,072 bushels, - “ Sanit Cc ittee of this a yperatiary compeices,o¢ 6 last 24 hours. of the Cholera, } ‘THIS crTy. , Maron's New Yorn, aby aha Me rt ing ocurred In Centre street pons William jam pet S08) que street orate anton street Hospital.

Ina few minutes it was ascertain ed that three men were clinging to the bottom of the boat, apparently in a very exhausted state.
