The accounts, under the telegraphic head, of the movements of President Fillmore and the members of his cabinet who are with him, are very full and interesting. The speeches, which form a very inte- resting part of these despatches, will be read with Rochester has been unusually enthu- ra street—Hern ar Lay 1GERS. siastic. Mr. Webster was to have addressed the people of Buffalo yesterday, but has postponed doing so till ‘Thursday morning. We learn that there are good grounds for anticipating an extraordinary effort on the part of Mr. Webster. Another accident on a railroad, with loss of life, has taken place on the Frankfort and Louisville line, oecasioned by the giving way of a bridge. The particulars, when furnished, will probably be of a yery painful description. From St. Paul, Minnesota, we learn that the Sioux Indians had gone out to battle with the Chippewa tribe. The Great Straggle 11 n Europe. The condition of the political affairs of Europe is of a transition character, at once highly interest- ing and exceedingly important. To the mind of the political philosopher it presents the single aspect of a terrible struggle between two mighty forees— the principles of popular democracry, as established ing its influence from that great centre of the east- ern continent—and the principles of military des- potism and of positive government combined in the yet lingering clements of feudal times. ‘These lat- ter principles hang on the very verge of the crater, whose eruption may scorch them to cinders, while they who maintain the tenets of a monarchical | policy hope to put out the boiling, seething fire | raging under their feet; yet it will be in vain for any moral or physical foree that may be concen- trated for such purpose, to engage in such an enter- prise. The hireling soldier of the present day has _ a heart and a head as well asa cartridge box and | musket. He will exercise the right of thinking, as | well as cabinets and kings. | In this picture of the ,two forees in European so- ciety, which are opposed to each other—this demo cratic instinct and this monarchical instinct—the British people and government assume a neutral tint, which becomes a kind of debatable subject for political connoisseurs, and which may blend with the democratic or with the monarchical character, which will be eventually worked out by the cireum- stances coloring the whole. France and her next election are the great problems, the solution of | which will have a vast effect on monarchical Eu- rope. If the French republic, with all the influences exerted within and without to make her take a step backward, can only retain a portion of her original vigor, and exhibit it conclusively in the coming election, aseuredly a death-knell will be given to oppressive and exigent monarchies from the Atlan- tie to the gates of Moscow, and from the Mediter- ranean to the North Cape. Austria, Prussia, Rus | sia, Spain, Italy, and the minor kingdoms of Eu- rope, are watching with eager gaze the great strug- gle now going on between the living bone and | sinew of democracy with the fossil remains of mo- narehy in France. The hopes of the powers awaiting | the result on the frontiers of France, are unusually | " exeited by the factions a* y the provinces; but the ruggle itself, and the | fact that there is atewd cy tothe multiplication of | these factions, furnish the best safeguards forthe | perpetuity of the republic, in spite of the secret | machinations of those on the frontiers of France, | and of the intrigues of the political cabals of Paris. | We have every confidence that the popular prin- ciples of republicanism are sufficiently conse} ve | to avoid the most dexterous coup d'etat invented to | create a collision, and that those devoted to the re- | public, without disorder, without any signs of an émeude, will be able steadily to pursue their course | in electing a new President anda new Assembly, however shocked and chagrined may be the mo- narchical powers who are now watching with anxiety | every step towards this end. ‘The destiny of Europe and the character of its future history, will depend on the result of this next | election in France. If the Frengh republic should triumph, even only in a modified form, the people throughout the eastern continent will be the virtual | rulers everywhere, and the framers of all law, or within five years we may expect a terrible conflict between the old remains of monarchical and feudal | times, and the general aspirations of mankind for The ion in France will be the key-note to a univer- in the capital and in | clee «al bymwn of liberty; or if France should fail in electing a symbol of republicanism, that failure will be the key-note to a general dirge over the hopes of the whole heart of Europe.

Indeed, Satan himself | has been shocked at this inerease. A public man of twenty-five years ago, either ia the cabinet or in | Congress, if he turned up now, would be considered a puritan, according to the standard of the present day. ‘The increase of luxury, the growth of profli- | gacy, the shamelessness ef politiciaus at Washing- i ton, are far ahead of our population, our revenues, | our resources, or our physical developement, great as | yf they all are. One of the truest pictures of this condition of | things at Washington, both in the legislative and — executive departments of the government, is traced with terseness and perspicuity in the following re markuble passage, taken from an interesting edi- torial article recently published in the Philadelphia North American, a journal known to be the pro” perty of ex-Secretary Clayton, and the channel | through which he communicates his notions on offi- cial vice, and his ideas om cabinet rascality, to the | public :— From the Philadelphia North American.] Practlees have become common at Washingtoa, which, if continued, must evefitually end in # prostitution of the legislative authority to the most mercenary designs. It is no seeret, there or here, that the gigantic schemes which have been brought forward dt the last few years—some of which fore succeeded, and others of which are still pending—bave been supported and carried through by persous sitting on the fluor, either as counsel or remunerated by contingent interests. We have | about this trial’ some of the girls in the _ three months before her death, reason to believe, if an investigution had been or- | dered during the last Congress, that most astound! ing developements of this character would bave been eliei Another—and, in our view, an equally reprehensible wactice—has grown up into a po at Washington, We meanthe practice of members of Congress officiating as counsel for claimants before the departments, Every- body knows that the official position of members gives them access to the public functionsries and to the public archives, with other privileges which private citi- zens do notenjoy; and, therefore, it is not only grossly indelicate that ey should engage in such ureuits, but it involves, in no stall degree. an abuse of trust which should be condemned, These suggestions will explain partially why it happened that legislation was so inuch neglected at the last session, and the ‘auxiety of members to carry particular projects in preference to the legiti- mate business of their coustituents It is high time She hould take up these subjects and discuss them eedom, before they assume a shape Which may severe remedy, It is indeed high time that the press should take | up these subjects and diseuss them with freedom, in order to ascertain whether there is moral principle or moral feeling enough in the present generation to bring about a reform of the practices that have , been growing up at Washington for some years past. The allegations made by our Philadelphia cotem- | porary against the members of Congress in a lump, can, with the same prepriety, be extended to those that form the cabinet, many of the heads of bureaus, and also to some of those boards to whom are en- trusted the investigation of claims and the settle- ment of such matters for the benefit of claimants. When Congress shall meet at Washington, there will be time enough to begin the developement of their transgressions, and to indicate the necessity there exists for a change in the conduct and princi- | ples whieh have hitherto regulated them. At the present time, the members of the cabinet, with the heads of bureaus, as well as those forming the recent boards for claimants, ought to be particularly warn- | ed that their conduct in resent transaetions has been watched and recorded, and that practices have been indulged in of a nature far more questionable than those which assisted to break up the Galphin cabinet of General T We have already al- Lexiean claims, ions given by cer- tuin cabinet members in reference to certain coa- tracts for doing public works, authorized by the last Congress, particularly dry docks all over the country. President Fillmore, we believe, is com- paratively an honest and honorable man; he is, however, weak, rather vain, and easily imposed upon. From facts recently come to our knowledge, we are perfectly satisfied that the present cabinet, with some one or two exceptions, are utterly unfit to be maintained in their positions, if there was any propriety in discountenancing the Galphin practices g it out of favor and place after his lamented decease. We shall enter upon this subject more cireum- stantially at an early day. InsuL tine tHE Sovrm—More Acrrariox.—The Courier and Enquirer, every now and then, pro- nounces the local institutions of the Southa terrible curse upon that region of the country, while it af- fects, at the same time, to have a regard for the rights guarantied to them by the present constitu- tion. This denunciation is most insulting to the feelings of the South, and every way caleulated to destroy their peace. It is agitation of the worst d.

Practically, philo- rophically, sentimentally and religiously, the black slavery of the Southern States is not more a curse to either race than the black freedom of the Northern States is to both races here.

It seems, | the evidence before the Coroner, that the parents of the decearcd consulted Dr. Fields during the child's sickness, who wrote @ prescription, making three grains of Dover powders, to be divided into six parts, thus mak- | ing six deses, The prescription was taken to the drug store of Geerge Chandler, situated at the corner of Fourth street and Wooster. The parents, not wishing to pur- chase the six powders, requested the druggist to make up three powders in the same proportions, as per preserip- tion. which would make # half grain for each dose, In- stead of so doing, the druggist, by mistake, put up six grains of Dover powders into thrve doses.’ The conse- quence vas, that on administeriog the medteine, the child was killed, On the facts, as presented before the Jury, they rendered the following singular and remark- able verdict: —* That the deceased came to his death by the effects ef am over dose of Dover powders; and that the druggist who compounded the same ix uot chargeabls with any blame in consequence of the misconception as to the quantity ordered,”” Yesterday aflerncon, a horse attach ixth avenue, pear Fourth street, becai ned, and tan off at full epeed. ‘Two persons, a pader and « Mr. Leacraft, who had been in the ere thrown with great violence on the pave- ud both seriously injured.
