The people of the United States, without dis- ginetion of party, have been, for some time past, ‘imterested spectators of the conflict between liber- ‘ty and despotism, that has raged in the northera part of Europe during that period. They have swatched, with intense anxiety, the progress of the bloody and tearful’ struggle between the noble ‘Hungarians and their Austro-Russian enemies, and have alternately hoped and feared for the result— xejoicing at every advantage which Bem, Kos- auth, end their brave soldiers, achieved, and sym- pathizing with them on every disaster or adversity tbat befell their arms. They now rejoice, that, in all human probability, the Hurgarians will be able to maintain their ground against all the force that Doth Austria and Russia can bring into the field against them, and that they will eventually secure the end for which they are struggling, and trans- mit to posterity Hungary as a free and indepen- dent nation—severed, by their own strong hands, guided by brave and patriotic hearts, from all con- nection with the house of Hapsburg, and free and wntrammelled from all political connection with Austria. These feelings and sentiments, deep and fervent as they are, have not yet found vent here. When the people of France overthrew Louis Phi- lippe, and established, in lieu of the form of go- vernment of which that sovereign was the head, ene similar in almost every respect to our own, the American people were in an ecstasy of delight. Meetings were called in every city and towa throughout the country, from which were trans- mitted to France addresses and congratulations and welcomes into the family of republics, with- eut number. Within a year afterwards, however, they witneesed, with pain, mortification, and dis- appointment, symptoms of reaction, signs of a re- turn to the ancient order of things; and now, with sorrow, they behold the spectacle which that same France presents. Nominally a re- public, it i, in fact, a military despotism, de- voting its military and financial resources to the destracticn of the libemy of a neighboring repub- lie. The ead disappointment which the American people experienced in the case of France, has shecked, up to this time, the flood of sympathy which was ready to burst forth in favor of Han- gary and the Hungarians. But they have watched that gallantpeople since the commencement of their struggle for liberty; they have appreciated the indo- mitable spirit that they exhibit on the field of bat- tle, their confidence in ultimate triumph, and their firm reliance on the God of Justice for final retief, m the hour of defeat; and they are ready to ex. claim, if any people deeerve liberty, the gallant and brave people of Hungary do. ‘The Hungarians, then, having been tested—their conduct in the hour of triumph and in the day of defeat having withstood all scratiny—the American people are about to sympathize with them in their struggle—to condole with them in their defeats, if, enfortunately, any should overtake them—and to encourage them by every means in their power 0 go on, to persevere conquering and to con- quer, while their enemies shall be at their feet, and Hungary an independent nation. Meetings have been called in Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and other places, and we have no doubt that before a month shall have elapsed, every eity, town, and village in the country will hhave reeponded to the Hungarian straggle. The meeting in New York will take place this after- noon, and we are satisfied that it will be one of the largest and most enthusiastic public aseem- Dlages that ever was convened in the metropo- is of the new world, and that it will reflect credit on the whole country. It will, we hope, be the preeursor of the recognition of the independence of Hungary by the American government, and the entering into diplomatic relations with that deter- mined people. The government, we are informed, have taken the subject into favorable considera- tion, and we have no doubt that betore long it will recognise Hungarian independence, and thus take the lead in welcoming to our embraces a people whose Jove of liberty is equalled by their bravery sand determination to achieve it. We hope that the gettere-up of the league which it is proposed to establish here for the furtherance. of the Hungarian cause, will permit no extraneous influence to enter it. An effort has already been mede in certain quarters, as we intormed our readers some days since, to introduce eocial- jem and red republicanisin_into Hungarian affairs; to identify the Hungarians with the red republi- oans and socialists ot France; to assimilate their stroggle with the efforts of theorists and fanatics t0 reduce their abetractions, concerning the organ- ization of society, to practice. This must be avoided, and care should also be taken to exclade | eur hackneyed politicians, no matter to what party they may belong, to use the occasion for the furtherance and advancement of their own private ends. Itis said that an attempt will be made to divert the money, now in the hands of the Irish directory, to the cause of Hangary; but we have the best reasons fer knowing that the Hungarians ‘and their friends in this city do not desire it, and would not, en any aecount, have such a thing done. They desire this to be a separate and inde- pendent movenent—totally unconnected with any ether. We are satiefied that if it be properly com- menced, end faithfully carried out, this meeting and the subsequent proceedings will exercise a very impertant influence on the Hangarian strug- ale, which may yet end in emancipating the whole of Europe, and freeing the millions of that quarter of the world of the wrongs and oppressions which they have suffered for ages. | | Tux Tuearres—Busiwess—Faut Faswtonanux Sxason.— During the last week, the places of public amusement, in this rhetropolis, have been doing an excellent business. Great numbers of strangers are crowding into town. The hotels are almost all filled with visiters, in pursuit of health, business nd amusement. As the epidemic which has pre- vailed for the greater part of the summer, and whose presence spread a general gloom over city and country, steadily and evidently declines, the public mind resumes its usual tranquillity, and all classes—not unimproved, we hope, by this visita- tion—are entering with fresh arder into their va- rious avocations and recreations. | ‘The veteran Niblo has given splendid evidence that he does not “lag superfluous on the stage.” With a celerity almost magical, he has reared, on the site of his old “ garden,” so justly famous and popular, a magnificent edifice, which has no rival of its kind on this continent. Everybody who has visited this elegant ‘place of amusement has been quite delighted with the elegance of the house and the perfection of all the arrangements for the con- venience and comfort of those who resort to it. Cheerful, airy, admirably lighted, with its spacious saloons, and corridors, and balconies—situated, too, in a most desirable part of the city, on an ele- vated portion of Broadway, Niblo’s new theatre is, mdeed, one of the most charming and attractive places in which to spend a summer evening, that any one could desire. The performances at Niblo’s have been varied and agreeable in the extreme. Of course every- body has heard of the Ravels. They are here, clever, as lively, as graceful, as amusing as ever. Gabriel, the inimitable Gabreil, 1s not now with them, but Antoine supplies his place in a manner that few could have supposed to be poss.ble. He has the same quiet genuine humor, the same sly roguish- ness of manner, and has already become a tremen- dous favorite with the crowds who flock every night to this theatre. Mlle. Bertin, the new dan- scuse, is very pretty and very graceful; and the ballet in which she made her debwt, “The Devil in Love,” is got up in excellent style. On two nights in the week they give vaudeville and farce, in which Chippendale, Sefton, Mrs. C. Howard, and other established favorites make their appearance. Niblo is coining money, as he very well deserves to do, on account of his spirit and enterprise. At the Broadway Theatre, Mr. Marshall is in the full tide of success, with his new experiment of Ttalian opera and the ballet. He has had tremen- dous houses—very guy and fashionable, without any of the stiffness or starch of aristocratic pre- tension. The public appear to be quite delighted with this new attempt to naturalize the opera amongst us, and we think that Mr. Marshal will have a very brilliant and profitable season. Last night Mile. Blangy appeared in the ballet, and was exceedingly well received, by a very fine house. ‘The theatre has just been thoroughly cleansed and renovated, and is admirably ventilated. Burton’s and the National are succeeding be- yond all precedent at this season of the year. At the former they keep up a constant succession of new, lively, piquant farces and extravaganzas ; while Chanfrau is equally indefatigable with his excellent company. The summer fétes at Castle Garden continue to attract great numbers of people. This is one of the most enchanting places of resort in the world. The cool breezes from the bay—the magnificent promenade—the choice music—the pleasant, social, undress balls that conclude the evening’s enjoy- ment, constitute a rich round of attractions. The average receipts each night, at all these places of public amusement, is probably about three thousand dollars. To this may be added the ex- penditure for refreshments, cab-hire, and sundry other items, swelling the sum to perhaps a thou- sand dollars over the amount that we have named. ‘Then there are other places of resort—concert rooms, and exhibitions of paintings and statuary, and moonlight excursions, and a variety of other modes of rational amusement; so that we might perhaps safely set down the amount expended weekly in this great city, in amusements alone, at | about thirty theusand dollars. If we look at the other departments of life, we will find that there isa corresponding degree of acuvity. Business promises to be unusually st ring this eeason. In a few weeks the fashionable world will be returming from the watering places. ‘Tradesmen and retail store-keepers will then ex- perience the full benefit of the influx of wealth aad fashion. Altogether, the prospect ahead is bright and cheering as a summer's morn, or the eye of a | pretty flirt, well pleased with herself at a Saratoga fancy ball. Extarcement ov tue Batrer If there ever existed any doubts in the community on the mn- | propriety and the absurdity of wasting the resour- ces of our over-taxed people, in carrying out the absurd project of enlarging the Battery, for the benefit of a few speculators and interested per- sons, those doubts have been removed by the able Common Council to whom the subject was refer- red recently. That report puts down, as the low- est estimate at which the work could be carried out, the immense sum of $337,462 and some cents, | to eay nothing of incidental expenses, such as fencing, flagging, &c., which would swell the sum total to nearly four hundred thousand dollars. Now, this is the job, which its advocates assert, could be effected at little or no cost to the city treasury. The report justly remarks, that if the city has funds to spare for ornamental purposes, Jet those funds be expended for a park or parks in the eastern and western portions of the city, where now there are no parks, and where they will be acceptable to the dense population which resides in the viemity. We hope this foolish and ridiculous scheme of | speculation and public plunder will receive no further consideration. ‘There are many improve- report of the minority of the committee of the | mand of this squadron. | for his destination in about two weeks, and raise 1 j ) Tux Apminwrration or CanunaL Justice ‘New Yorx.—What 1s the meaning of the mye terious lull, the omimous silence, the unbroken ealmness, which succeeded the interesting flare-up that recently took place in that classic building known asthe Tombs? The celebrated “Confidence Mon,” together with a police magistrate, a couple of police officers, and the District Attorney, were mixed up in a very interesting little squabble, which seems to have ended as abruptly as it com- menced suddenly. The District Attorney, discharged a broadside at the magistrate and the police officers, and they, in their turn, fired away right and left at Mr. McKeon. Here the matter stopped. Now the public are very anxious to know all about the not very delicate insinu- ations respecting official malfeasance, which the combatants treated each other to so liberally on that occasion, and which certainly ought to be drebed to the bottom. If there is‘any truth in them, the publie ought to be made acquainted with it. For many years past the administration of crimi- nal justice in the Tombs, whether under the old code or the new one, has been looked upon with distrust by the public. Every one, to be sure, had the fullest confidence that equal and exact justice, and perhaps a little more, was usually meted out to the poor criminal charged with being a vagrant, or with stealing a ham to avoid starvation, because he had not the means of making the blind goddess see his innocence; but doubts have certainly been entertained that the ‘upper ten” rogues ard vaga- bonde—the big operators in rascality, who make five, ten and fifteen thousand dollar hauls—managed to slip through the meshes of the law, and were no sooner arrested than they were discharged,.to re- new their work of plunder and robbery. Now, the not very delicate, but on the contrary very signifi- cant insinuations, above referred to, may give us some insight into these mysterious transactions and doings connected with the administation of criminal justice in this city, and it is on this ac- count that we regret the lull that has succeeded the tempest that broke out a few days ago in the Tombs, between certain officials there. In this re- lation, we regret that the District Attorney has not taken measures ere this to clear his office of the rumors and charges that have been so plentifully made against the manner in which the business connected with that department 13 conducted. ‘We know nothing of the truth or falsity of those charges and rumors; but we cannot help saying that Mr. McKeon owes it to himself and the trust which is confided to him, to take prompt measures to relieve the public mind of the suspicion which rumors and charges ef the kind would naturally create, if allowed to remain uncontradicted. Those rumors were at first whispered cautiously—they are now openly proclaimed, and published in more than one public journal. Is there no way of having a committee appointed to investigate the whole system of criminal justice, as it 1s dispensed in the Tombs? Such a com- mittee, armed with power to send for persons and papers, to examine witnesses, and to institute a searching examination into the matter, would at once bring the facts to light, and either substan- tiate the truth of all that has been stated in relation to the administration of criminal justice in the Tombs, or give that concern a certificate of good character, and of its claim to integrity, which, if all that is hinted about it is true, it is sadly in need of.

One of the most important of these is the erection of a spacious market, of stone, brick, or other durable material, of the height of two or three stories, on the site of the present Washing- ton market. The business of this market is greater than that of all the others together, and is inereas- ing daily. It is so much crowded with stalls, ands, baskets, &e., &c., thatit is with great difficulty it can be approached, and when once in, egress is about as difficult as ingress.

The late treaty, securing to the United States the right of way over the Isthmus of Panama, it would seem, was formed for no other purpose than to raise the wind; if the published correspondence bet: the late Pre- sident Mosquera, to his son-in-law in New York, Gene- ral Herran, be true. It is stipulated that Aspinwall & Co., the eontractors, pay to this government 600,000 francsas a bonus. The 600,000 francs is the only thing looked for, as all else is forgotten in securing it. The correspondence says:—“Concede to Aspinwall & Co, whatever they may ask, but immediately secure the 600,000 francs! Retain 100,000 for your own use, and Temit the balance to my brother, in London.” This correspondence, ss published, has caused a disgraceful fight between Dr. Cuervo, Vice President of this repub- Mo, and Dr. Murillo, Secretary for Foreign Affairs. Dr. Cuervo, whose term of office, by the constitution, runs two years into that of the President elect, must cause other difficulties, equally aggravating, as he is a strong partizan of General Mosquera, and a defeated eandi- date for the Presidency, in opposition to Gen. Lopez. Dr. Murillo, the of shaggy dyrevince’ | was formerly a mem- ber of Con; the province or Se Santa Martha, and editor of late Sante Martha Gazette.
