The details of the case of this unfortunate young man, are posseesed of the most melancholy interest, and should strike asa deep warning into the hearts of the wayward to ebange their courte at once, and, hereafter, pursue a life of virtue and sobriety. This man appears to have been nurtured with all the care that his parents could bestow; he was respectably eda- cated; bad partly studied s profession with Mearned tutors, and the road to legal eminence was open to him; yet he forsook all for the purpose of gratifying bis inordinate desire for spirituous Kigquors, which led him into evil company, and the latter pushed him forward to the gallows He had frequently committed the awful crime of arson, and escaped, as he acknowledged; yet the All seeing Eye was upon him, and justice, slow but sure, finally overtook bim. A carious case came up on habeas corpus before the Judge in Common Pleas Chambers, yoeterday appears that a Mr. Towsley was in the habit of going to the New York Exchange Bank and de- macding change of certain notes, which they were bound to redeem at a quarter per cent discount, and insisted on handiog in his notes dollar by dol- Jer, to the great annoyance of the tellers, who were nonplussed to find a coin small enough to de- uct the legs! proportion on each dollar bill The | tieulare of the dreadful calamity that occurred in party persisted in thie perplexing exchange for se- Vora! days, until at laet he wae apprehended on a ‘warrant issued by Justice (sbora, on a complaint that hie conduct tended to a breach of the peace Alter a full bearing of the case, Judge Daly grant- ed the discharge of Mr. Towsley on-Intervention—Pelicy of ec United States. The splendid speeches of Kossuth in England Girciose a mort formidable continental policy for the republicans of Europe. They are destined to pro- dace s European sensation.

We shall presently consider the paramount im- portance of the course of the United States upon this question, and the necessity for an enlarged circumferenoe of action. The non intervention of Kossuth is an active nonintervention. The affairs of the British empire are not in a condition to justify that goverment in hastily adopting it. In the event of another rising and his Cossacks from the Carpathian moun tains upon that ceuntry, this non-inter- of St. Petersburg, the occupation of the Black alliance with Schamyl, the dashing old Chief of the Caucasus. The adoption of a policy compre- hending these contingencies requires time and deliberation. The seed, however, is sown, and the future will produce the fruit. The developement depends upon the action of the United States. The people are ready. The country is competent to act. The position of this republic among the nations demands of it something more than a mere passive neutrality in European affairs, where the struggle is for life or death between the antago- nistic principles of legitimacy and democracy. So rapid has been the expansion of the power and the resources of this country within the last ten years, that nothing short of the returns of the census of | 1850 can exhibit the imposing reality. It is un paralleled in the history of mankind. And yet we have but # population of twenty-five millions upon a surface capable ef sustaining three hundred millions of people. True, in energy, activity, ¢ terprise, and practical achievements, our twenty. five millions are more than # match for any one | hundred millions of souls under the governments of Europe; but s:ill we are looking to the future. It is the continental destiny before us that~demands of the United States a positive voice, if not an armed intervention in the issue between despotism and democracy, wherever the battle may be fought. What, then, will be the result of the visit of Kos suth to this country, and his doctrine of active noa- It will be a popular doctrine—it may b carried as an element into the approaching Presidential election—it may be adopted as the policy of the next administration. In no eventand | under no circumstances can the foreign policy of this government be ag passively neutral as heretofere. Its intima‘e relations with Europe, since the introduction of steam navigation, the pow- erful foreign democratic element in our population, which holds the balance of power at the ballot- boxes, will not admit it. Mr. Walker was right in declaring at Southampton, that the interfereace of European powers in the affair: of this centinent, with a view to the regulation of the balance of power, could no longer be allowed with impunity And yet, at the same time, we fiad the diplomats of England, France, and even of Prussia, patting their wiee old noddles together for the security of | Cuba to Spain, as if it were possible to guarantee | the sovereignty of Cuba upen any other tenure than the good faith of the United States. But this Monroe doctrine of non-intervention stops with | American local affairs. That of Koseuth is more attractive, and we may prepare for a sensation | when he come: to prociaim i: upon our shores. An armed propagandism is not the policy of this | government. It will mot be adopted but, to in anticipation of the approaching struggle in Europe, may be expected. The resolutions at Tammany Hall have already initiated the demo- cratic party into the principle. They are predo- minant. Their prospects were never better for the | Presidency. In advence of bis arrival the policy of Kossuth bas taken bold. We doubt not thata final impression will be made here, which will react, with potent effeet, upon England and France. The cotton of the South, and the gold of California, bind them to peace with the United States. A common interest will make a common cause, and we alone are in the position to give the | impulse 0 the movement. A new epoch will, therefore, be inaugurated, in ell buman probability, upon the arrival of Kos ‘uth in America. It may lead to results giving direction to the plans of the republicans of Ea- repe. It may rebound upon France—it may react upon Engiand—it may result in an actire alliance of non-intervention, which will hold Kussia fast within her boundaries, while all the continent of Europe isin a blaze. Assurediy he is destined to bave an important influence, in conjunetion with | Mr. Walker and tag gemocratic party, in shaping out the future policy @ the United States. We are upon the threshold of the greatest and the most tremendous events. uk Recent Scnoot Howse LAMITY. TA another column we publish some additional par- Ward school No. 26, on Thursday last. The whole number of lives lost, as far as they were ascertained last evening, was forty-two; and it is not impro- bable that others may be added to the list daring today. A jury was sworn, yesterday, to investi- gate the cause of thie melancholy casualty. They were occupied yesterday in viewing the bodie and to-day the testimony of witnesser will be take We have no disposition to interfere with the | duties of the jary of inquest, in this un‘ertunate business, nor to anticipate their verdict, but we think the occasion calls for some remarks. Ac- cording to the information we have received, it is evident that the loss of life would have | been comparatively trifling, or that there would | have been nene, if the doors of the school communi” cating with the street, had been made to epen to- wards the outside instead of towards the inside Had they opened into the street, the children could easily have escaped, but there was no egress for them. They were consequently crowded against the balustrade, which gave way under the presure, and the result is before as. In future, therefore, it is to be hoped that our achool-houses will not be prisons, from which, in ease of fire or alarm of fro, there will be no escape. There is another poiat comnested with our school-hoases which is worthy of consideration at the present time. The impro- | priety of having fifteen o eighteen bundred, or two thousand children, in ang one building, is manifest, | and itis strange that it mever ocearred to the School Commissioners, or the Beard @f Supervisors. Of ‘ave years, many of theee buildings have been constructed ceveral stories ia height. This iewrong Neo whoo! house ought to be more than two stories high, and if sufficient accommodation cannet be farnicked with smaller schools that the prosemt, let | thore be more built. Besides the danger in case of | accident, such a large number of children, as at | tended the ill fated school howse in (reeawich ave- | nue, cannot be coofined for several hours in one building without injury to their health | We conceive this be an appropriate time for inquiring into the means of escape previded in our | theatres and other places of amusement, in cese of | fire or alarm.

Hav- ing been relieved of the diplomatic difficulties at- | tendant upon the United States mission to Austris, | he appearsnow to have assumed the still more dif ficult duties properly belonging to the Austrian Minister in the United States. It required some | $52,675 to solve the problem of the United States Bank; how much may be involved in this pre | sent defence of Austria against Kossuth, is quite © another affair. It may possibly be # mere labor of | love fer the gracious consideration received at the | Court of the Hapsburgs. I+ is seldom that a man | pulls the oar so hard against wind and tide, for mere amusement. Five mortal columns of the Courier of yesterday | morning, were deveted to the annihilation of Kos | suth and the cause of Hungary. We make out | that te be the object, and that the main points at- | tempted to be proved in this interminable harangue are, that the warin Hungary was not @ war against Austria and Russia, but a war of local races amongst the Hungarians themselves; that Kossuth — is a monarchist; that his caus@was the cause of a petty despotism, and that his republicanism is all | gammor. These arethe kernels which we extract from the hogshead of Austrian chaff in which Kos- suth and the Hungarians are attempted to be smo- thered alive. What does all this mean? If the object is to destroy Kossuth and his mission in the United | states, it is mere chaff strewn against the wind. {t will help the cause, by a re-action. The labors | of General Webb have generally resulted in his de- | feating himeelf.

In fact, bis history, for the last twenty | years, is a history of varieus experiments in hot water, by which he has been so toughened that he stands it like a salamander. Hot water has become bis great necessity. It was hoped that the study of theological subjects, under the rubric of the Episcopal Church, would have somewhat softened down these belligerent proclivities. But we are disappointed; for we apprehend tbat if a war | shovld break out between the United States and Spain, or any other nation, our military neighbor | will be just as ready to serve as a brigadier general, | as in the war with Mexico. | In undertaking to wade through this Austrian | rigmarole of General Webb, the reader will be | struck with the peculiarities of his style of reason- ing. This document affords a striking example of it. The first point, it will be observed, is to assume a theory perfectly untenable, and the conclusion is, to prove the argument against himself. He is not satisfied with a man of straw. He must have windmills or nothing. But, like a fly in a cobweb, he seems to delight in hard exercise, as if utterly uncorscious that he is spinning himself all the tighter ia his net by every gyration.

TeLeorarus aNp TELEGRAPHING IN THE UnrreD Srares.—Our readers will find, in another part of this day’s Hexatp, an interesting original article | on the present state of telegraphs in the United States. To those whoare not intimately acquaint- ed with the extent of our telegraphs, the mode of operating them, and the miraculous facility and — speed with which mestages are transmitted from | one end of the republic to the other, the intelli- nce imparted in that article will bo very accepta- | ble. The extent of telegraphs in the United States d Canada is estimated at from twelve to fifteen thourand miles, and it is increasing every day. No | one, not familiar with the subject, can form an ade- | quate idea of the immense benefit which the elec- tric telegraph confers upon the people at large, or of the advantage which it is te commercial and business men generally. So greetare they, that if | telligence were permanently s:opped, the loss would be a calamity. But these are not the only advan- tages we derive from the telegraph.

MEETING OF THE COUNTY CANVASSERS. ‘This venerable and widely known physician, died at his The County Canvassers met at ten o'clock yesterday residence in this city, yesterday, in the seventieth year of his age. There are but few older physicians now left among us, or who have passed through a longer career as medical practitioner. We are under the impression that Doctor Manly was a native of one of the North river | counties of this State, and came to this city in early life, entering into practice asa physician nearly fifty years ince. He had s brother who was Presbyterian clergy- map, and was the father of Gen. Robert F. Manly, who now resides in Brooklyn Doctor Manly attended Thomas Painejin hie last illness, and an interesting conversation took place between the Doetor and Paine, in which the latter epoke of his belief as to a future state of existence. Dr. M. was a man of strong mind, and occupied a high position in his profession, although often engaged in con- troversies respecting the origin and nature of the yellow fever, and other tropical diseases. The Doctor agreed with his friend, the late Dr. 8. L. Mitchil, im the doc- trine of the domestic origin of the yellow fever, and the conscquent inutility of our quarantine laws.

Mr. Van Buren, in one of his letters to Jease Hoyt, (preserved by Mackenzie, in his invaluable collection. the Hoyt papers,) written in Febru- ary, 1829, during the few weeks in which he was Governor —“Icannot dismiss Dr. Manly. His extraordipery capicity is universally admitted; and hir poverty ‘and wefortune in regard to the new medical college which he »rought into existence, but failed to get & place im it, has excited a sympathy for him with medi- cal men in all parte of the State, of unprecedented extent. Mr. Clinton was so sénsible of it, that he once actually nominated him for Health Officer, and was upon the point of doing it again the very week when he died. His re- moval, if made, could only be placed on political grounds, | and as he was a zealous Jackson man at the last election, that could not have been done without danger.” ‘The explanstion of this letter is, that Doctor Manly had, at one time or other, been a friend of Clinton, while Van Buren and Hoyt were bucktails, and jealous of all Clintonians who came into the Jackson democratic fold for succor or support. It is-probable that some professional friend of Doctor Manly, and of the same school of medicine with him, Will take the occasion of his death to present the public with an account of bis life and public services, more satisfactory than it is in our power to give, in a hurried notice of the termination of his earthly career.

Mr. Chat- field’s majority was 270. , The seats which have been con. | tested in the Nineteenth ward, were decided upon by the admission only ot the district from which eertificrtes were obtained, omitting those districts in which the ballot boxes were destroyed. The arguments were conducted by Mr. Sanford, on the whig side, and Mr. Shepard on that of the democrats. THE EFFECTS OF THE STORM. @n Thursday night, the city was visited by «severe storm, with a gale ef wind, which resulted in consider- this newly im; | | Gann, ‘414 Broadway, able damage to the shipping in the bay, and other pro- perty along the docks, The streets were completely de- luged, and presented as gloomy an aspect as could well | be conceived. The night was one of sorrow to many poor families, not only to those who were buts few hours before deprived of their little ones, by the sad cat he in the Ninth ward, but to numbers of the eens mtery in the basements of dwellings along West, Washington and South streets.

She now lies in the ‘water, immersed to her upper deck, and immediate steps are to be taken to raise her. She was undergoing and would have been ready for sea in a Ene ilot = rete ae was driven ashore on the beach at Staten Island, near the Fort. " A small sloop, laden with stone, went ashore above the Quarantine. A large number of stables in Ninth street, between avenues A and B, were suddenly deluged with water, and a number of horses were with the greatest difficulty raved The water rose as high as the top of the stable doors, and the only means by which the animals could be rescued was to break away one side of stables, which ‘was effected by means of aledder reaching to the roof, upon which several men ascended and broke a large hole in it, and succeeded im forcing away the sides. The horses then swam out of the opening thus made, and were saved. In West, Washington, and the streets near the North tiver. a quantity of goods, such as flour and other kinds of provisions, stored in,cellars, was destroy- ed. Many families were compelled to seek shelter in the station houses. some of the cellars having been flooded to the depth of four feet.
