Ser- mons were preached in the various places of wor- | ship. The Post Office was only open during those hours in which it is kept open on Sundays. The Forelgn Mail 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’clock train. They will arrive here at an early hour this morning. State of Europe—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- tuons of the Herald, at one and three o’clock. Enough, however, of the news has been ob- | tained by telegraph and express, to satiefy 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 much longer they will be able to hold out, or how much longer success will attend them, | it 18 impossible to predict. They may go on and keep alive the contest between liberty and despot- | ism until 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 1m its way. ‘The attitude which France assumed in the to- 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; for 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, Mo attempt had been made by those misguided | men to reduce theif absurd and impracticable theories Concerning government, its rights, and %% duties, by physical force, imto practice—to dis- @bdjeets of the Adminicstration—Acteon and his Hounds—Ofilce-secking and its Mise- Fies—What is to be Done about it? It would seem to have become the universal pre- vailing opinion of all classes, and particularly of a large portion of both the great political parties, that the main design of electing a general govern- meat, is that itmay 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 it 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 fuir 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. In 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. ‘Tw Cuotera—Puysiciass’ Oxericarss amp Powon.-—During the prevalence of any epidemic, physicians cannot be too 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 stereotyped questions, and given di- rections about the manner in which the medicine should be administered. In a few hours he is 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, andthe body is buned; 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 ; 1t 1s, no doubt, mostly among quacks, or young graduateg, of small practice, who have not yet learned how important it is that prudeace should be observed in these matters. Two men have lately been exhumed, and large quantities of areenic found in their stomachs. In another case, of recent oceurrence, 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, ia the eighth ward, died, as was reported, of eholera. Suspicions Nothing 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, astern 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 | the genera! government the next presidential elec- | 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—lunder and epoils 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 gown, the whig administration, and that party, throughout the Country ; while the democrats, on their part, are opposing thé administration on grounds which they will be compelled, as 4 spoil | party, to imitate when they come into power, and | thereby lay the foundation for their own overthrow, | as the present administration haslaid the foundation | for theirs, and thus producing a state of things like | tend shuttlecock and battledore—herg and | there, thrown from one side to the other, at every i turn of the presidential election, so that no party can retain power for more than one presidential | term. ‘This is really a horrible siate of thin: ind must | solve society by the musket, and to level all orders and clasees of people to one standard, France | would have been, long before this, the triend and | or rendering it so weak as to be totally inefficient | thing. ally of the Roman and Italian patriots, and very | likely, at this moment, be marshalling her armies against the [usso-Austrian force, 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 rocialiem to practice—at least, in the pre- | is necessary, and what measures can be taken, to to oj | sent day.

A few 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 dic of that malady, but under such circumstances that a coroner’s inquest would not certainly haye been mal-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 otherwise. Wenn on Cass.—Our contemporary, Mr. Webb, of the Courier and Inquirer, 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. But | Webb dees not seem to hit the mark exactly. His but es far as we can gather the purport of the | exposition of our Wali strect 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 educed from the lengthy and windy epistles of Webb. Mr. 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 gentleman’s opinions on slavery, in- ternal improvements, and the general policy ot the home government, Mr. Webb has kindly and — chantably undertaken the task of enlightening the American people.

General Cass has not consented to support the present administration, nor has he changed his former political op although, according to Web's account, the Gene- tel does not know his own miad 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 opinions. The only ingident in history which matches this affair, is to be found in the memorable special mission to Washington, undertaken by Mr. We'b, for the purpose of investigating all about certain news paper articles. | | Catrorsta ano THE Free Sovens.—The recent news from California has throwa a bomb-sheli into the camp ot the free soilers. By the last ac- counts, it appeared that Governor Riley, the Lon, 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 & 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 scilere in this neighborhood into a state of great alurm end trepidation. They are afraid of losing the only capital they have been in posse Evening Post ie furious at the idea that General ‘Taylor's administration has beea using its infla- ence for the purpose of bringing California before at once, in the shape of a State, and nov Congres asa territory.

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, areconcerned. If they cheat and shave the stock- holders, through the medium of large eontracts, 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 be worth, in the regions of future glory, one, two, three, or four hundred thousand dollars in the gold of the New Jerusalem pictured by Saint John in the Apocalypse. In this we have the ad- vaetage, in this eountry. We so unite religion and roguery, that the angels on the judgment seat can’t eeparate them, by all the force which they can muster.
