The battle between the Buenos Ayreans and the Brazilians, in connection with their auxiliaries, described as having been ter- rific and sanguinary in the extreme. No Jees than four thousand men computed to heve beer killed and wounded, and the Holstein cavalry are reported to have literally riddew over and trampled in the dust the once fumous¢evalry of Rosas.

The Canada gives informa- tion of the destruction ofan Awéeirian war steamer and the loss of a large number of lives.

Let ’em come on Ourinformation from Albany this morning is not only varied, but remarkably interesting. After protracted debate, in which Mike Walsh acted a eonrpicuous part, the excise hill, ae reported hy the committee, was agreed to by a vote of 51 to 85. | j This really looks as though some stringent anti- | i liquor law would yet be got through the Assembly, notwithstanding there are only about twelve days of the séssion- left. However, the contemptible Senators are opposed to too hasty legislation, will tend to prevent the consummation of any measure of the kind at this late day. Some curious proceedings took place in the Canal Beard yesterday, as will be seen by the report under the telegraphic head. Crimination and re- crimination was the order of the day. Comptroller Wright characterized the lettings as undoubtedly a grand swindling operation, and in direct viola- tion of the constitution. By-the-by, the Assembly, in committee, has approved of the resolution order- ing the Auditor to pay the drafts of the Canal Com- missioners, and the matter is to have a third reading to-day. Even if this measure should be passed by the Legislature, it is doubtful whether the Auditor would obey it. The famous Tremont Temple, formerly the Tre- mont Theatre, in Boston, was entirely destroyed by fire yesterday morning. By the falling of the walls many persons, it is feared, were killed. Qae body was taken from the ruins in the course of the after- noon. Among the occupants of this extensive building were a large number of artists and profes- sional men, whose lose is almost irreparable. One gentleman had a collection of rare and elegant pic- valued at $45,000, none of which were saved. King’s beautiful bust of Secretary Webster, and Pope's picture of Tedesco, were among the articles destroyed. It is estimated that the entire loss will not fall short of $200,000. The Domocratic Southern Rights Convention met at Macon, Geo., yesterday, but did nothing beyond effecting en-ergenization. The continuance of the easterly wird, enabled se- yeral additional packetships to get up yesterday. Two of them, the Queen of the West, and the An- tarctic, made-the passage in twenty-two days. The Washington -and Constitution arrived on Tuesday in eighteen days, and the Isaac Bell in nineteen. Within the pest four days, nearly a hundred sail of 4quare rigged ‘vessels have arrived ia this port, a large number of them being from Great Britain and other European ports. The number of passengers brought by these versels was upwards of twelve thousand. Of these, the Washington brought 956, ard many of the others from 460 to 600. An insane woman, near Philadelphia, yesterday seiwed her infant by the feet, and dashed out its Drains against a chair. “we American Art Union Lottery Indicted —Its First Public Denunciation, Tt has beez erroneously concoived tha’ the pro- ‘edings at peeteat pending in the courts of lew, scind of justice, too, in this city, were the first in cahich the immoral and illegal character-of the Art Union Lottery Asscciation was denounced.

But they -were quite wide of the mark. The true reason, in part, lies in the perception by the people of the true character, operations, and effects of this institution, as so ably expounded by the document we have quoted, and in part, in their becoming convinced of the mismanagement of the institution, and the perversion of its funds to a few artists out of many. There is a fine republican lesson to be learned in the fact of a committee of homespun, unprofessional men, by force of ‘heir strong natural perceptions, teaching to our lawyers and judges the true reading and comprehension of the constitution and statutes. We commend attention to the instruction they so ably impart. Much time and ponderous arguments have been recently wasted in our Superior Court, in a fiuitless.attempt to open judicial eyes to a true view of this plain, unobseured subject; and no deci- sion has yet been arvived at. To be sure, we must admit that when the question of the Art Union’s constitutionality was first brought under the notice of the Recorder, in a criminal action, and latterly of Judge Oakley, these learned functionaries immediatedly reeognized—without the aid of any very weighty arguments from Bunsby counsel—the illegality of the institution, declared it a lottery gambling concern, violative of the sta- tute, and the latter Judge directed a temporary in- junctien to issue against it. But it seems that Mr. Recorder Tillou and Judge Oakley are each a rara avis in our courts, and that a variety of our judges and Jawyers entertain a variety of views on the knotty point as towhether a lottery is a lottery, or whether a lottery is not‘a lottery. Though Judge Duer has -had his acute intellect concentrated on this, to him, knotty point, for a week or two, the sweet babe of his long incubation has not yet seen the light—he nas not yet been able to prove to his own satisfaction, or to that of the parties or public, either that a lottery is a lottery or that a lottery is not a lottery. But as if to exhibit still more pointedly the lamentable fog in which judicial per- ceptions in this city:are enveloped, we have had two other judges—one an old fogy, and onea young fogy—rurning a tilt against common sense, and sur- prising and amusing the community, by declaring their serious extra-judicial opinion that a lottery is not a lottery. To what should we charitably attribute the manifest obfuscation-ef intellect which these facts evince 2 Perhaps the severity and duration of the winter, arduous professional duties, the refusal of the spirits to manifest, or some other causes of a different character, may have conspired to produce this effect. We regret that their case should be so desperate ; and if we might venture to prescribe a remedy for their infirmity, we would strongly recommend them to ruralize for a couple of months in Rensselacr county, since it appears that the air there is much more congenial to the developement of sound views of law, morality, and common sense, than the atmosphere of this city. Do any of the Grand Jury of Rensselaer county keep a boarding house ? and if so,-would they accommodate a few members of the New York bench and bar during vacation? If they can come to terms, we hope that the guests will be treated as members of the family, and reeeive the watchful care and good advice of the host and his friends. Lona Montes aMonG THE Purttays.-—In another Lola Montes, in reply to an attack made upon her character by Epes Sargent, editor of the Boston Transcript, and also the very curious debate on the same subject in the H¥ston Grammar School Com- mittee. Mr. Emerson speaks like a man of sense, and Lola’s is a spirited, tart rebuke to the Puritan poet, who has evidently ‘caught a Tartar’ that will teach him better manners in future, than—in the vio- lation of every law of hospitality, and in defiance of that gallant chivalry so peculiar to the American nation---to assail a defenceless stranger, a woman and an artiste, for simply availing herself of a polite invitation to visit the most interesting of the insti- tutions of ‘the City of Notions.” The poet Epes has received ‘‘a Roland for his Oli- ver,” and this sharp missile, which has the ring of @ Kentucky rifle about it, applies with equal force to the Cowvier des Etats Unis, the Tribune, and , Temes, of this city. In fact, she brings down the part of this day’s paper we publish the letter of and the surrounding country, and in many instances isfatalto persons in comfortable circumstances in life. It is peculiarly infectious, and at all times ex- ceedingly dangerous. Now that the summer is setting in, the danger will be still greater, and every precaution ought to be adopted to guard against it. Some time ago, when the extension of this disease produced alarm inthe public mind, an outery was raised, and the city authorities were called upon to check its progress by insulating the infected dis- tricts, and by removing the office of the Commis- sioners of Emigration from the Park, and their abominable, filthy lodging houses from their present position. But it is obvious that this is begin- ning at the vrong end, when we reflect upon the fact that in the year 1851 there wore sent from the city to the Marine Hospital, at Staten Island, andto the Emigrant Refuge at Ward’s Island, six thousand cases of ship fever, which never ought to have been in the city at all, and never would have been, if the health regulations had been stringent- ly and efficiently carried out. These cases were al- lowed to pass the Quarantine into the city with their infected elothing, reeking from the crowded ship, and spreading death wherever they went; and then, forsooth, after the mischief is done, such of them as could be sent, were sent back to the place where they ought to have been detained at first. To show the reader that we are not speaking without authority, we quote from the last annual report of the Commissioners of Emigration, recently issued. At page 47, the late Dr. Doane, the Health Officer, states :-— bericy peepeined at the Marine Hospital, January Patients. Adzitted during the year 6,109 Total treated. +o 6,343 In the samo page it is added, that ‘out of the whole number admitted during the past year, 4,329 came from the city; and during the early pe- riod of 1851, the principal disease at the Marine Hos- pital was ehip fever.”’ In page 41 of the same repert, throughout the United States, amounting to from four to five millions. Taking, now, into considera- tion the total population of the United States, which, according to the census of 1850, is computed at twenty millions and a half, it is evident that the German element forms a very important item, com- prising, as it does, over one-fifth of the whole pepu- lation spread over this vast territory. These fouror five millions of Germans are residents or inhabitants duties of American citizens, it is indispensably necessary that the nature of our laws, our institu- tions, and our policy, be brought home to them in journals our German population become acquainted with the mechanism of our government, with the nature of our laws, the peculiarities of our institutions, and the character of our internal and external policy, and are, therefore, enabled to per- form with satisfaction the duties and obligations de- manded of republican citizens. In New York alone we have four daily German newspapers, viz: New Yorker Allgemeine Zeitung, New Yorker Abend-Zeitung, pevening papers Six weekly newspapers, viz: Republic der Arbeiter, New Yorker Criminal Zeltung, | ; Sontagliches Unterhaltungs! ) Attlantische Blaster, sSunday papers. Leucht Kugeln, Blumsvallera, And one semi-weekly, viz: New Yorker Handels-Zeitung. As nearly, therefore, as we can ascertain, there are eleven German newspapers in this city. We have no doubt there are several others, which as yet have not cometo ourknowledge. The Criminal Zeitung, and the Handels-Zeitwng (commercial) have only been started within the last two weeks, the former being the property of Rudolph Luxow. We have also to mention the failure of two other papers, which were but recently started. Notwithstanding comic and illustra‘ed papers. the Commissioners say thatat Ward’s Island there were 2,009 cases of the disoase, and that they were nearly all persons very recently from shipboard. Here, then, are 2,009 cases, which, added to 4,329 sent fram the city to the Marine Hospital, gives a total of 6,338 cases, which were allowed to pass the Quarantine into the city. Judging from the result at Ward’s Island, of the 2,000 cases sent there, is it not evident that the consequences must have been equally fatal in the city, where these poor people were sojourning in the first instance, and where many of their companions remained, because too ill te be removed? In reference to the twelve graduates in medicine residing on Ward’s Island, the report says:— “*Most-of them, in turn, have been prostrated by fever contracted in the porformance of their labors; and since the close of the year one of them has died.” Many of the healthy emigrants at the Refuge have died from tho same cause, having escaped the perils of the disease at sea, to be scized with itonland. And many of our citizens have fallen victims to it, whose lives would have been saved if proper precaution had been adopted at Quarantine. Who are responsible for this? We answer, the Commissioners of Emigration, who have the manage- ment both of the Marine Hospital and the Institu- tion at Ward’s Island. It was their duty to see that those emigrants who were suffering from con- tagious disease should be sent, on their arrival at Quarantine, to the Marine Hospital, while those who labored under non-contagious disease should be sent up to Ward’s Island. Thie is the law; and they have failed to carry it out, either at Quarantine or here. They permit the fever patients to come up to the city. for want of proper scrutiny or a stringent enforcement of the law at Quarantine; and then, when those fever cases break out in the city, instead of sending them all to the Marine Hospital at Staten Island, as the statute directs, they send 2,000 ofthem to Ward's Island, to spread the disease among the uninfected emigrants there. Why have | ‘they not procured a proper place in the city for tho | reception of the emigrants who apply for admission tothe Refuge? and why do they not appoint acompe- tent doctor toexamine them, in order to determine whether they are laboring under fever or not, and have them sent to the proper hospital accordingly? | Above all, why have they not adopted those means | required forthe prevention ofthe disease on shipboard? This would be to begin at the beginning, and would render unnecessary, to a great extent, manyof the fo ur with one shot, killing Epes Sargent right off, an idangerously wounding Monsieur Arpin, Master Ray Tmond, and the white coat philosopher, who stoo. € behind in the same range.

The un- fortunate emigrants are often regarded with aver- | sion, a& communicating diseage to our citizens, when | they are themselves but the victivas of cupidity and | the neglect of the Commissioners of Emigration. | We will nat say that ship owners in the passenger | trade are wilfully and designedly favored, in the | first instance, by permitting them to violate the | sanitary laws, on board their ships, with impunity; and secondly, when this violation produces its natu- | tal result—a crop of fever and doath—the pestilent | ships are allowed to pass Quarantine without proper | purification, and the passengers sent up to the city | with fever actualiy upon them, lest hy deloy the | Sains agising from the traTe should be abridged— | wewill not say the motives are corrupt, but the | facts are indisputable, and let those who ave on- | trusted by the State sith the care of the emigrants | and the enforcement. ofthe Quarantine laws, account for their neglect to the public.

The other, called the Deustcher Fushauer, edited by Struve, a refugee and intimate associate of Kinkel, has also, within the last week, discontinued to ap- pear, from a want of public support and patronage. Foreign organs of intervention, as taught by Kos- suth and Kinkel, do not appear to succeed at all in New York. With reference to the general character of the German journals throughout the Union, there is, of course, some slight difference discernible, which, however, arises more from the peculiar notions, habits, and customs of the various States, than from principles and doetrines of an ultra tendency, emanating from the journalists themselves. To every attentive reader, however, it must be obvious that there is a material and decided distinction between the character of the German press of New York, and that of any of the other States. While German journalism in Pennsylvania, for instance, is conducted on nearly the same plan as that of the American press, the tone of the German newspapers in New York is decidedly of a socialist and athiest- ical character. The press of Pennsylvania is governed by pure republican principles; but we find that it is conducted in New York principally hy political refugees, who, in consequence of their revolutionary vagaries and absurdities, have been compelled to quit the land of their birth and seek an asylum on these western shores, where they still endeavor to engraft on the minds of the public their imaginary systems and absurd theories. Here they continue to disseminate among our peaceable citizens their pernicious principles of athiesm, the absurd doctrines of socialism, the utter incongruities of communism, and all the beauties of red republic- anism, sedition, and revolt. As an inetanee of the ultra tendencies of most of the German newspapers in this city, we have merely to refer to the course these journals pursued in relation to the late execution of Grunzig for the murder of his wife, by administering poison. By the execution of the sentence pronounced upon him by judicial authority, they were thrown into a state of feverish excitement and uncontrollable passion ; they denounced the execution itself as a flagrant judicial murder, and deduced therofrom a new argument for the abolition of capital punish- ment and the removal of all the restrictions of marriage, which was pronounced ‘‘a corrupt insti- tution.” These and similar doctrines are certainly radical enough, and the reforms they inculcate sweeping enough, and afford at the same time a striking illustration of the nature of the principles” entertained by these men, who are engaged in the all-important capacity of teaching and enlightening the public. Such, then, is the general character of the Ger- man pres New York—dangerous, immoral, revo- lutionary, seditious, and, with some few exceptions, so different from the German press of Pennsylvania. In this metropolis, the German press is a mere re- establishment or renovation of the infidel move- ments and immoral principles which have ruined, during the last few years, the cause of sound and practical democracy in Europe. This inflammable element, planted among the social habits of New York, receives encouragement, countenance and support from the eoterie of philosophers, Fourierites, and writers who congregate about the Tribune and Evening Post, and who haye recently started a series of shilling public lectures, for the purpose of planting in the public mind more effectually the seeds of their vagaries, combined with abolition and anti-slavery ERGETIC MEASURES TO Purtry ‘The city of New York was searcely ever in a more | filthy condition than it is at the present moment.
