The national fast was strictly observed yester- day in New York and vicinity. ‘The shops and banks were closed as on Sanday, and people ap- peared abroad only in their holiday attire. Ser- mons were preached in the various places of wor- ship. The Post Office was ooly open during those hours in which it is kept open on Sundays. The Foretgn Mails, ‘The Cambria arrived at Boston at two o'clock yesterday afternoon, and her mails for New York and the South, left in the five o’elock train. They will arrive here at an early hour this morning. State of Kurope—The Foreign News. The details of the European intelligence brought by the steamship Cambria will be received this morning, and be published in the afternoon edi- thons of the Herald, at one and three o'clock. Enough, however, of the news has been ob- tained by telegraph and express, to satisfy us that the noble and gallant Hungarians are still pur- suing their career of glory and victory. Further eonflicts have taken place between them and the Russian and Austrian forces, which in most cases resulted to the advantage of the Hungarians. They have proved themselves formidable foes and im- placable enemies, and have successfully withstood, | thus far, at all events, the combined Russian and Austrian military torces that were brought against them. How mach longer they will be able to hold out, or how much longer success will attend them, | it 1s impossible to predict. They may go on and keep alive the contest between liberty and despot- | ism unt! the re-action in the revolutionary move- ment, which is observed in the South, shall have subsided, and the revolutionary spirit, now-crushed by Popes, Presidents and Princes, shall again break forth and demolish every impediment im iis way. ‘The attitude which France assumed in the Ro- man question is te be deplored; and were it not for peculiar circumstances, the degenerate Na- peleon never could have effected what he has done; fer his acts, we are certain, are not concurred in by the great body of the Freneh people. One of the most influential ef those causes is the trouble and continual | exeitement preduced by the socialist leaders, | Uno attempt had been made by those misguided | men to reduce theif absurd and impracticable theories Ciijcerning government, its rights, and 5 duties, by physical force, into practice—to dis- @djeets of the Administration—Acteon and his Hounds—Ofice-secking and its Mise- Fles—What Is to be Done about 1t? It would seem to have become the universal pre- vailing opinion of all classes, and particularly of @ large portion of both the great political parties, that the main design of electing a general govern- ment, is that it may distribute offices, contracts and rewards The present administration of General Taylor seems to have become infected with the same universal opinion and beliet, that the princi- pal end for which 1t was placed in power was to distribute the government patrenage, honors and emoluments among themselves. As we were the first newspaper in the Union to bring the name of General Taylor before the public, and played a most important part in placing him where he is. we feel proportionably amazed at beholding a state of things which we had hoped would be avoided The administration are making removals in every department of the government, of democrats, to make room for whigs. The exercise of a very little foresight by the President, or any man of his cabinet, would exhibit to them the melancholy re- sult that must inevitably flow in upon them from such sweeping action. In the first place, for every appointment made, where there was a democrat removed and a whig appointed, there will be, on a fair average, twenty-five whig applicants who will be disappointed, and become dissatisfied and exceedingly savage, and in the end willbe found worse opponents to the administration than even the democrats. Jn the second and third place, for every removal ofa democrat to make room for a whig, “the party in power creates more fieree the animosity of the democratic party generally, and their efforts to ous, the whig government more determined and concen- trated. Nothmg else than this absurd policy of whole- sale removals could have effected the union and harmony of the effice-loving democrats and free soil- ers in the principal Northern, Lastern and Western States. They have seen the necessity of union, to defeat the whigs and carry the State governments forthe purpose of getting the patronage in those States, with the ultimate object of using it to carry tion; and, meanwhile, breaking down the whigs and the whig administration, and in which they are pretty certain to succeed; and they have been stirred up to this, by the constant and frequent re- movals among them, in all sections, of democrats from office. What earthly motive but spoils and plunder ac- tuates the democratic party in such a union? and the only bond of union among both parties is the love of the spoils. In the present or coming pre- sidential contest, there are no issues between the two parties but the power and patronage of the go- vernment. All former issues are obsolete and dead. ‘The only vital questions are the offices of honer or emolument—plunder and spoils for one or the other party, and to see which shall have them. All matters of great importance to the federal Union are buried, or insignificant, when contrasted with the plunder issue. It will be a contest be- tween the ins and outs; and the conduct of the ad- ministration of General Taylor, in fermenting and exciting this epirit of office-seeking, instead of ea- Ceavoring to allay it, meets our strongest condem- nation. It will only have made a stronger opposi- tion to itself in its own ranks, and armed its open avowed opponents, the democrats, with more deadly weapons, to make war upon, and strike Zowan, the whig administration, and that party, throughout the -auatry ; while the democrats, on their part, are opposing thé ®dministration on | the general government the next presidential elec- | ‘Tar Cuotxna—Puysiciane’ Oxeriricares axp | Rarzoap Doer axp Norss.—Many of our rail- Powon.--During the prevalence of any epidemic, physicians cannot be teo eareful, how they give certificates of death by the prevalent disease. We have now in our possession the history of several cases where such certificates have been given, and the deceased persons buried, but afterwards un- graved, and found to have been poisoned. A per- son is taken with violent pain, vomits, and shows other symptoms that mark all kinds of cholera ; the bedy is contorted, and the patient 19 in great pain. The first physician at hand is sent for, and, whether entitled to write M. D. after his name or not, he comes, looks at the patient, feels his pulse, and leaves a prescription ; and retires, after having asked certain atereotyped questions, and given di- rections about the manner in which the medicine should be administered. In a few hours he 1s waited upon and informed that the sick man is dead, and he is asked tor a certificate, so that the bedy may be interred as speedily as possible. He receives his fee for services, writes the certificate, and the body is burned; and, in several instances within our knowledge, “ died of poison” should have been inserted, instead of “ died of cholora.” We will not charge this imprudent, this criminally careless mode of doing businees upon respectable physicians ; it 1s, no doubt, mostly among quacks, or young graduateg, of small practice, who have } not yet learned how important it is that prudence should be obeerved in these matters. Two men have lately been exhumed, and large quantities of arsenic found in their stomachs. In another case, | of recent occurrence, a husband died suddenly on | one day, and the very next sunset found his wi- dow the wife of another man. Still another case is reported, in which a woman, in the eighth ward, died, as was reported, of eholera. Suspicions were aroused, thatall was not right, and the Coro- ner received an intimation from respectable phy- ticians, that he might, with propriety, iavestigate the case officially. That officer took the prelim nary steps in the matter, but found out that the body had been removed from the county, and | hence was not under his jurisdiction. | Afew days since, a whole family, including hus, | band and wife and several children, were removed from their residence, in Sixty-fourth street, to the Thirteenth street cholera hospital. ‘The woman died on the way to the hospital, one child died at the hospital, and the rest are convalescent. Now, in the case of the woman who died in the street, ought any physician to give a post mortem certi- ficate, setting forth that she died of cholera? She probably did die of that malady, but under such circumstances that a coroner's inquest would not | certainly haye been mat-appropos. It is a curious fact, that the Coroner has much less business on hand at present than he usually has at this season of the year. The Coroner's of- fice is an important one, and the duties which de- | volve upon him, under official solemnity, should not be lightly wrested, either by indiscretion or otherwiee. | | thirty miles an hour ; but the Hudson River Rail- road, before it has atrain under way, ora single car running, has made itselffamous for making a dust and noise in this community. Look at the hubbub in the Corporation about laying rails in Hudson street. The tricks, talent, ingenuity and enterprise of beth parties are worthy of the present age, and are almost sufficient te throw a halo of glory over the managers at Washington. Then, again, eee the quarrels among the stockholders and the managers, the correspondenee between Mr. Flagg and Mr. Boorman, and the correspon- dence, peppered and spiced, between Silas Wood and Mr. Flagg. Those gentlemen are gradually losing all the polish and dignity with which they commenced operations, and are beginning to exhi- bit eome of the violent language which we see so liberally displayed by politicians and office beg- gars. Only think of such a quiet, religious and re- spectable man—and a member of the church too— as Silas Wood, almost in as many words, calling Mr. Flegg—also a member of the church and a candidate for a seat in the kingdom of heaven—a deceiver and almost a liar! ‘The love of money, we are infermed, is the root of all evil. Money and avarice are the founda- tions of all railroad speculations. Those heavy contreets for furnishing rails, those bargains for cutting rocks, and all the other speculations that grow out of such large enterprises, are very money-making among the railroads of this country and England, and everywhere else. The first stockholders of every railroad are generally cheat- edand deceived by the first managers, who en- out some such system of deception, or cheatery— for it is nothing else—the railroads would got be undertaken. ‘These enterprises are advantageous to the country ut large; but the poor stockholders must sufler, while the contractors make all the money and carry off all the spoils, Look at the who was called the king of railroads. His career is over there; but his history, in connection with railroads, is precisely the same as that of a great many railroad speculators in this land. In one feature, at least, we have an advantage on this tide of the water. Our railroad speculators are pious, God-fearing, moral and benevolent men, as far as building churches, going to church, and con- tributing to the charity-box, and such like things, are concerned. If they cheat and shave the stock- holders, through the medium of large contracts, during six days of the week, they are pious, and laying up large amounts of stock in the kingdom of heaven every Sabbath, which is laid out every year at a very high premium, and at the end of their lives, when the last prayer is pronounced over them, they will probably Wert on Cass.—Our contemporary, Mr. Webb, | of the Courier and Inguirer, who has given us his | travels, but not to Berlin or Madrid, has published | two letters, very long and very tiresome, illustra- tive of the political opinions of General Cass. B: Webb does not seem to hit the mark exactly. I first epistle provoked a rejoinder from the General; but as far as we can gather the purport of the | exposition of our Wali street contemporary, he knows the political opinions of Cass better than | that distinguished citizen does himself. That ap- pears to be the legitimate conclusion to be cduced from the lengthy and windy epistles of Webb.

Any govern- | ment but one of anarehy will be submitted to. ‘Tyranny iteelf, of the worst and most despotic | kind, is not worse than a state of anarchy and — eonfusion, such as would follow any attempt to yeduee socialism to practice—at least, in the pre- | sentday. Hence the people of France rallied in | support of the government, in opposition to the #o- | cialists, whe have shown eontinually a spirit sub- | versive of all governmeat, all order, and which | has been attended with the worst consequences | wherever it has been developed. This dispesition | of the French people, even after the fratricidal attack on Rome was consummated, and the patriots who defended the Eternal City, while defence was prudent, were put down, was manifested at the elee- | tuons which recently were held there, for notwith- standing the odiousncss—yes, villany, of that transaction, thoee electioas resulted ia favor of the govervment. What can this be attributed to | but to the fear and dread with which the people book npon the socialists? Bat we Go not deepair of Rome. The Pope will eventually, as he ought to, be deposed from tem- poral power. He may return, and he undoadiedly will, and egein plant his heel on the necks of the | Roman people, but it he escapes the fate of his | secretary Rossi, he will be fortunate. Notwith- standing his fervent prayers for General Oudinot, the French army, and the French nation, his eareer is matked out and epproaches a termination. Me will, if he escapes the im ation of his sub- jects, have leave to devote ail his time to prayers and Peter-pence, while the affairs of goverament will be administered by a President, elected from among the people. The argument of his defenders, phat his temporal sovereignty is essential to the proeperity of the Catholic Chureb, is the most al gerd that could be put forth in this intelligent age. Bat wait a little. Let him not, however, tempt fate too rashly. Noone knows whata day may bring forth in France Napoleon is, no doubt, playing adeep game; but never again will there be either an emperor or a king on the throne o Pranee, at least for any length of time. Tux Custom Hover Cuanaes.—The removals ‘aad appointments made by the new Collector in the New York Curtom House, are still discussed with a great deal of acrimony among the whg eircles and cliques #round towa. doubt can exiet that the indiscriminate system of removing and appointing, in thie and other States, will ma- terially affect the strength end momentum of the | whig party at future elections. Br. Maxwell is eharged with having mode many appointm of eld superannuated persons, who are entirely un known to the present generation, and who never ould have been thought of except by one who himeelf belongs to a former time, as they alle Mr. Maxwell does.

Thousands of honest patnotic citizens, in every section of the Jand, wew this alarming prospect as we do; the cryis raised from all quarters, What can be done to stay this evil,to drive out this plague | spot, which is corrupting the whole body politic, and to eradicate it from oureystem? Whataction | is necessary, and what measures can be taken, to free the federal Union froma spirit of plunder | which, in the end, must subvert and destroy it? Why will not Congress pass @ law to limit reme- vals within certain boundaries, when a change of party occurs? Congress, in our opimion, eannot do anything with effect in the premises, for the simple and plain reason, that the partyin power in Congress | willnot agree to the passage of any measure of that kind, and a party when coming into power | favor of Mr. Webb’ ‘mission, which did not, however, mect the Webb admits, that on one point, he was in error in his first letter; that he did slightly strain | point, in representing General Cass w be in| favor of a high protective tariff ; but on all other questions, the views and sentiments of General Cass are to be found in Webb’s letters. In re- lation to that gentlcman’s opinions on elavery, in- ternal improvements, and the general policy ot the home government, Mr. Webb has kindly and charitably undertaken the task of enlightening the American people. Webb, then, did not put his feet under General Cass’s mahogany for no- thing. From the first epoonfal of soup to the last | glass of wine, with their walnuts, Webb was engaged in the benevolent work of pumping his hort. All this 1s very funny. There appears to be something behind the curtain. It would seem that Webb must have been sent out to the West es minister plenipotentiary from some qnarter, to open negotiations with General Cass, with a view to effect a change in his political opinions for future operations. Possibly the cabinet at Washington, who have been in ppointment to a foreiga approbation of the goed sense of the Presi- dent, may have sent the redoubtable Colonel out Weat on this important mission, in order to exhi- bit to General Taylor bis great qualifications asa | minister and negotiator. Yet we cannot say that certainly would not; and none would do so but | the noviciate hae made much progress in this, his the minority for the time being, and they are too | feeble to pass it. This plunder seeking patriotism had its origia with designing men, who rose to power by foster- ing it or eneoureging it in the outeet, or until it gave them honor and power, when they im turn rewarded it. The administration of General | Jackson and Mr. Van Buren were most promineat in orginating this plunder epint anong the peos and the latter accomplithed gentleman owes hi former success to his tact and management in training his admirers to seek the game. The leading men in both parties ought to see that in playing such a game their fate would be like Acteon, who was devoured by his own hounds. Mr. V. B. is aetriking instance in verification of this troth. He hae been politically eaten up by the very men he trained. A vaet majority of the people of this Union, of all parties, North and Seuth, have no real interest in this miserable game, or in this office-hunting. They love the welfare of their country, and they have a direct interest to eee this plunder seeking spirit put down and exterminated. There is but one way in which it can be done. It is an aor mous evil, and overshadows ell that is good aad healthful in our institutions. The remedy is only to be found in sclecting rome man who shall | pledge himself, or whoge high character shall be « pufficient pledge, that, if elected to the Presidency, he will drive eff this spirit, correct the abuses to which it has led, and extinguish this love of office seeking, so ruinous to the hopes and prospects of thousands, by retaining only good mea in office, without retereace to party, by 5 dent, and by a meseage to Congress, and harmonious a with that body, place an evil, which ia deste ing our system of government, root and branch, om a | footing that time or corruption canact change, and be « standard and landmark for all future Presi- pis after hi Who and where is the meat tic and independent press Deeside at--who have er to make the neat, as they did the last » shall net decetve and dis fat Who is the man? and e the ne wh Vitel matter T where is the patriotic, independent press t Intenuiarnce rnom Saara 14 Gnaspe.—We learn from Captain Sawyer, of the brig Tonquin, | arrived at this port veeterday afternoon, that when he left 8. la G., on the 24th of July, nearly all the ar end ull the molasres had been bought up; the new crops looked fively; the markets were well | supplied with American produce, and prices low; freiglits to the United States were very low; te New York, sugar @3 &) per hogshead, molasses } $1 8 The. per hogehead.

General Cass has not consented to support the present administration, nor has he changed his former political opinions, although, according to Webb's account, the Gene- rel does not know his own mind as well as the ne- gotiator does. In all sober seriousness, we do not recollect, in all our experience of farcical fuss, anything more ridiculous than this farce of Webb affecting to be | the exponent ef General Cass’s ejinions.

Catsronsta ann THE Free Sov.rns.—The recent | news from California has throwa a bomb-sheli into the camp ot the free eoilers. By the lust ace counts, it appeared that Governor Riley, the Ion, T. Butler King, ana other persons and public men who went to that territory, have commenced a very important and apparently successful movement, for the purpose of organising a State government at onee in that territory, and for being ready at the next sestion of Congrees, to bring up at once the ques- tion ef the admission of California into the Union, and thus avoid an issue on the slavery question. This intelligence, therefore, has thrown the free seilers in this neighborhood into a state of great alarm end trepidation.

Loxvon, July 20, 1849, ‘The news from Berlin received on Saturday last, of the conelurion of an armistice between Denmark and Germany, caused more animation in our markets, and © good deal of business was done both on that day and on Monday, since when however, the eonfident expee- tation of the raising of the Danish blockade not having been realized, there has been doing ; but wede not notiee any disposition on the part of holders to submit to lower prices. Under their respective heads we add remarks ou those articlus in whieh transaetions have oceurred during the week, in other deseriptions of produce no alteration having taken plaee. Amenican Brocks are firmly supported, and there are no considerable quantities for sale; but the @emand is not active, and we have no material variation in our quotations to notice. U. 8. 6 per et, bonds, 109 a 10934; Insoriptions, 108}, ; Alabama dollar, 59 9 61; Sterling, 68 9 65; Massachusetts, 1043¢; Maryland, 90, sellers, Ne New York fives, or Obio, for sale; Pennsylvania, 81 « 82, ex. div.; Indiana, 60a 62, ex. div. Some of the New York ix per cent loan bas been exchanged against United States six per cents, with four per eems differ- ence, and some eousiderable purchases have been made of Mississippi sterling five per cent bondsat 20 per eent. In other State securities nothing doing of interest. The Conn Manx, under the combined influence cf larger supplies than of late from the farmers, a CN tinuance of the finest weather, and the reported ”@"* tlement of the Danish question, has been very much depressed this week, and prices of wheat have do- clined 28, a 8s. per quarter, and flour about 6d. a 1a. per barrel. Spring corn, on the other hand, has been fairly maintained, with, however, only @ limited in- quiry. The demand for Indian corn is gradually fall- ing off, and quotations are purely nominal—2ds, is talked of for Danube for shipment, but we do not no- - tice a single traneaction. Corton is generally held for (a. advanee. The sales for the week consist of 1650 bales Surat; of 4,000 at auction at 24d. S7,d ; 900 bales by private eon- treet, 544d. a4d.; 800 bales Madras at 4id. a 4d. and 480 boweds from 5d. a 54d. per Ib, for middling fair to fair. Cocruneat.—The demand has been limited, and of 300 bags at auction, very little found buyers ; 100 bags were Mexican silver, and all taken in at 38. 7d; 25 bage black selling at 3s, 8d. ; the remainder Honduras partly sold from Ss. 84. a 4s, 2d. for silver, and 3s. 6d. a 5s. 84. for black. Correx has been quiet, but with the exception of na- tive Ceylon, which has declined 64. per ewt, we do not quote it lower. The sales consist of 2200 bags plantation Ceylon at full rates; 3000 bags native from B48. to $58. Gd; 150 bales Mocha 62 te SGs.; 3,420 bags Padang at 20%. 6d. @ Sls ; 6:0 bags good order Rio, 31s. to 328, 6d.; 150 casks Cubs from 45s. 6d. to 558; 1,000 bags Colony Havana at 36s. to 43s. 6d.; and 123 easke Porto Rieo at 28 to 398 ; besides which @ eargo of 2,500 bege Rio good firsts bas been seld floating at 31s. per ewt. Onthe eontinent the article continues in favor, and the impression is pretty general that further im- provement will take place towards autumn. Daves, &e.—Turkey opium is firmer at 103. 9d. per Ib.; sulphate quinine. 138 6d ; 500 cutch have been sold at lbs. 156 6d. being 1s. 8 28 lower. A small pareel of tumerie bas been sold at tho advanced rate of 18s ; camphor, 65s., and uot much doing; quiksilver, 8s; Calieaya bark, of the monepoly mark, is held at 68. 0d, per Ib.

Hipes,— 16,834 Kast India, of very ordinary quality, were oifered yesterday, when 15 960 sold. Common kips, itable for home use, wore in good demand, and sold briskly at fall prices. Export sorts are in less request. and barely maintained previous rates. % Inpieo.—The ales are still proceeding, and 11,850 ste have pesred, of which 6.795 have been aetaaliy 4. Ordinary and middling qualities of Benge, bring from last sales prices to 2d. advance, but good and fine are generally rather cheaper.
