Mercy upon us poor inhabitants of Paris! we are » ‘dhreatened with o series of diseases, which, perhaps, + ‘will be acoompanied by the dreaded cholera. It has rained for the lust four days, in torrents; the at- Mmosphere is as thick ass piece of pudding or plam pie, and complaints of all kinds are uttered from all \_ parte, from people attacked by illness of all sorts, ‘The doctors are as busy ag they can be, and they are the only ones, I dare say, who are not sorry for wach an extraordinary and uncommon stato of things: As for the cholera, several cases of that plague have been seen at Marseilles and at Havre; and w®re- ceive, from several parts of the Baltic shores, the in- teHigence, that the much feared disease is doing much damage among the population of Stettin and Dantsic, There have been also a few cases at Ber- Jin. Alas! with the awkward political positition of Europe, the cholera would be too much. With the exception of the transient foreigners, the city of Paris is almost deserted; and if the ap- proach of the fates to be given on the 16th of next month does not bring to Paris a large number of amateurs of sights and peveants, it is feared that the summer season will be quite disastrous for the com- merce of the capital, the theatres, and public ampsement managers. But, on the other side, al the watering places of Germany are filled with | . Strangers. Hamburg, Weisbaden, Baden—not to ; forget Aix les Bains, in Savoy—are so much erowded that the last arrived have the utmost difficulty to find rooms and lodgings. The faro tables and rouge et noire are the principal attractions of many foreigners, and particularly—I am bound to , tell it—of American young men. All the leading members of the American club, (with the only excep- tion of Mr.8.,) have formed an association to go to Hambourg ard have the bank broken there, before the ead of August. They have formed a stock of $40,000, with which they hope w put down the bank. They may | succeed as well a5 not; but J doubt it very much. One of the most conspicuous gents of the American clique, is now residing at St. Germain, Hotel des Pavilion de Henry IV., much engaged in a desperate flirting with a French heiress; but Iam told that there is no chance for him. He has been found out, and he thinks the best he can do is to proceed to Hambourg. He will leave on Saturday next, to try his best luck. The grand annual fair of Beaucaire has begun fsinoe the 20th instant, and though the market is furnished with the most costly aad first rate goods of , all parts of the world, the business is dull, and the ‘merchants are afiaid that the transactions will be poor, and reduced to nothing. The silks are low and havo a tendency to fall. Despite the bad crop of this year, however, it is expected that before the end of ‘the fair the market will become better in all respects. The vine crop in the south parts of France, as well as in the vineyards of Bordeaux, is feared to be bad this year, owing to the presence of the “odium tackerii.” From Spain we also receive very bad mecounts. [It appears tbat at Madeira and in the Douro province the d’sease bad destroyed all the best planta of vine trees, and that the inhabitants have requested the Freuch government to farnish them with the meaus to go to Algiers to form a colo- ny. In the province of Valeure the olive and mul- | berry trees are also attacked by a disease, which is the cause of much alarm in the country. The distribution of premiums and medals to the aters who have exhibited their pictures at the public exposition, took place on Tues- day the grand saloon of the Louvre. ‘The assembly was addressed by Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, assisted by M. Fouid, Minister 0° State, and M. de Newerkerk, Administrator of the Museums of France. Lhe more celebrated among the jainters who were rewarded for their talents was tite. Rosa Bonheur, whose picture of the “ Horse Market” was the gem of the salooa. I had forgotten to ment on in my last Ictter the pictures exhibited by two American artists, M. Hant, waich represents “’, Working Girl,” a }.ead of mach energy and color, and Mr. Ebininger, representing *‘ The Yankec Ped- ler,” & small p cture, which has been much admired and appreciated by the connoixseurs.

Ingres, the reuowned painter, Delaroche, H. Vernet, &c. Mr. Delarue, tie print publisher, has made arrangements with Mr. Powell to have four of his groups reproduced by Julien, the renowned litho- grapher. This is quive a compliment to the American rein who will soon be enabled to receive the eulogy of the whole press in America. The splendid American yacht of Mr. Vanderbilt, the North Star, left the port of Havre on the 25th fnst. on her way to Gibraltar. The Commodore, fa- mily and friends intend visiting Italy, Constantino- le and Alexandria, and thea they will return to the nited States. We are expecting in Poris a gentlewoman who is now creating a furore ia Nuglind—Miss Kate Irvine, the celebrated ‘runner, only thirty years old, pretty, and beautifully formed. She dresses, it appears, in ‘the Bloomer costume, ind will be a novelty in Paris. She is engaged at the Hippodrome tor one month. Another talented American Mr. Macullum, has just been engaged as a rider by Mr. Dejean, the mana- r of the Circus of the Champs Elysées. [am told it he is the most admirable rider that ever visited Enrope, and that he will succeed. A hse of steam propeller ships is to be established between Hambrrg aud New York. The company is formed beth of Americans and citizens of the Han- seatic city. The ships will bave the two flags of | Hamburg and America hoisted on their masts, and the enterprise will begin ou tue first of March, next ear. 2 The French government had consented to grant to acomvany tho privilege of establishing from the Boulevard, from. The Buarriere dn Throne to the Arch | of Triumph of L’Etvile, a line of omnibuses, which would have been driven on rails, as it is practised in New York; but on Friday last, when the pon was just held by the Minister of Justice to sign the contract, an order came from the Emperor not (o do it. lt appears that all ‘the stage lines have mede an arrangement to unite ,and to reduce the tare of passengers to | “three cents. Cheap enough!

After two hours suffering, lo! as by a miracle, he rose, threw aaide his cratches, and walked home, from the Tuileries to the Boulevards, perfectly cured of his long complaint. Tho last theatricals of Paris have not been of much congequence. Preparations are being made at the | Grand Opera to have the reopening celebrated in magnificent style. The hall has been entirely reno- vated and brilliantly gilt. The “Huguenots” of Mey- erbier will be formed on the occasion, aud w be produced with much splendor, withaew s:ouery, representing the ‘ Massacre of San Bartholomy.” A new ballet forthe debut of Mme. Pisora and Guy Stephan, will be represented on the next day. At the Variétiés theatre, Mme. Ugalde made her first appearance on Tuesday Ist, sud was received with much applause. The play is entitled “Les Trois Sultenes,” and the fair songater has introduced into her part some of the prettiest gems of the mu- sical composers. The play has succeeded. At the Theatre Francaise, the reprize of the old comedy, “Le Chevalier a la Mode,” has been re- ceived with universal approbation. Mmes. Maltsalde and im, a8 Messieurs Briudeau and Provort were much applauded. At the Porte St. Martin, a company of English clowns, among whom 1 will mevtion Mr. Matthews, have made their ap; nee in a pantomime enti- tled “Harleqain Hudibras.” The farsical fits, jumps, slaps, kicks, and faces, of these British actors, did not much please the public, and their attempt was somewhat a failure. B. H.R. Phe Danubian Provinces. The Paris Presse of July 14th, published the fol- lowing appeal to Europe in favor ot the liberty and independence of the provinces of tho Danube :— Russia has just invaded the Danubiaa provinces. These provinces are our country. We have borne exile for their liberty, we suffer tor them, we live for them. At present the feet of Russian armies orush them. Become victims, tbey are no longer able even to utter a cry of grief. Who will raise their voice for them, if it be not we? Let us then be permitted to address ourselves in their name to the conscience of the civilized world. This is at once our right and our duty; their Siete is our oppression. The provinces of the Danube have in Europe a ition which it is necesgary to define. They are inhabited by a special and homogencous race, which is neither Sclavonian, nor Russian, nor Turkish. This race is Latin; it belongs to the families of Western Europe; it descends from the Roman colonies which were established in the valley of the Danube. [t has been attempted to throw doubts upon our origin; it is ne- cessary to remove them. Force, intrigue, and time may have divided us, given to us distinct names, and created for us different destinies; but whether still free or oppressed, we have never ceased to be one nation; we are Roumanians; this is the common title which -binds us, and one day we shall again find ourselves in the sentiment of our unity. The Darubian provinces have constantly struggicd to avoid servitude; greater effurts were never made than by them in the times of barbarism, and a greater right has never been obtained to res- pectin an age of civilization. We have attached ourselves to Turkey, ut freely, by a convention, in the limits of that convention, and never further. In the fifteenth century, surrounded by enemies, we stood in need of support. We iuvoked that of Tur- key. We placed ourselvea under her protectorate, but without alienating ourindependence. We stipu- lated our conditions, and made our reserves; we bound ourselves to only one thing, namely, the pay- ment of tribute. Ou her part, Tarkey bound her-elf to protect us against our external enemies. We are not a conquered province, either assimilated or even annexe@. Weremained masters of ourselves, under a limited suzerainsbip. We feel it neceasary to state this in order that our real situation may be fully ap- reciated. Russia invades us; by what right? She as had the pretension of invading us whenever it has pleased her to go to war with Turkey; but she has never had the right todo so. Our conventions are precise. We owe tribute to Turkey. She owes to us protection; but we jo «not confound ourselves with her. Russia is doubly upjust and violent. She is so to Turkey by her exigencies, and to us by the invasion of a country which has nothiog to do with the difforenzes which have arisen. Fora long time past, and de- signedly, principles, as far as we are coucerned, havo been eresee Russia has endeavored to create for us a situation which is not ours. She has contested or infringed on our independence as much as she could. Turkey and Europe have, by their want of foresight, lent themselves to this policy, by not oom- prehending that the individuality of the Danubian provinces, their neutrallty, and their inviolability, were the ram, of Constantinople. We are invaded; protection is due to us. How can there be any hesitation to grant it? How is it that we have not already obtained it? Turkey owes it to us; it is the case provided for by our treaties with her. Not only are.we attacked, but it is for her and in her cause that we are attacked. She might tolerate the occu- pation of one of her provinces, for, after gll, she i not only bound to herself, bat she is bound towards us; and if she does not protect us, she will fail in her positive chligation, y cannot abaudon us to | Russien occupation. She wust not deliberate, she | must not negotiate, under the empire or such a fuct. War is declared; from the moment when we are in- invaded, Turkey is no longer free to separate our | cause from her own. We recail to her mind the | treaties and engagements t she has entered into | with us. Let her reflect, for the crisis is a serious | one. All her former concessions having only tended to compromise her; a new act of weakness would not save her. By abandoning us, sho would work her own ruin. How can she invoke the protection of | Europe, if she begins by abandoning those to whom hese are the principles and We submit them to the conscience of the civilized We protest against the invasion of the Danu- key to defend us by protecting us. Our coatey. is oppressed. The violated right of nations calls loud through us, and wo to those who do not listen to the cry! We demand axsistance, but we are ready to help ourselves, and history has proved that we are not powerless. The Danubian provinces are now, as they were at their origin, the outposts of Western Europe. They are menaced now by barbarism, as they were formerly. It invasion triumph over them, it will triumph over Turkey, and after her, over Europe. In the name of our fellow-countrymen, (Signed) Bowtrac, Mayor of Bucharest.

Vouesco, Minister Secretary Bi Paris, July 12, 1 The Pacific Rall Stal [Fiom t 8, July 27) Our active American relatives are in a state of great eagerness about a new enterprise, in the exe- cution ot which all the civilized werld wiil wish them well. They are not now sounding the trumpet and marshalling their forces for war against dwellers on their own continent, but promising the shriek of the éteam- whistle, and proposing to open a highway of peace, in the form of # railroad which shal! unite the commerce of the Eastern and Western worlds; which shall run from the Atlantic to the Pacific. It yas remarked, with some curiosity, that while the Coxvention—held at Memphis a tew weeks siace— could agree on none of the immediate objects of their conference, they came to a decision on one point, be- fore supposed collateral, to support with the whole strength of the South the project of a railway to the Facitic. And the North and the West show them- selves now no less ready and eager. With the usual rapidity of their national purpose, they are bending their wills to people the deserts where the buffalo are browsing in innocent security, and to bridge the rivers which have hardly yet heard the mingling of human voices with their own roar. Land surveying, with its seven league boots, is bestridiog the prairies, and making no more of the passage of the Rocky Mountains than if their Prepon were a flight of garden steps, leading ‘‘to fi fields and pastures new.” The foot prints of the geometrical giant mark the spots where stations are presently to arise, and Seated wigmaker and poct, Jasmin, author of seve- ral booksof poetry—amoug which I will mention the “Blind of Castelcullié”—the translation of that work, written verbatim by him ia inglish rh; pears that Jasmin was much fluttered pliment, particularly when he knew that three thou- sand copies of his book had been sold in America— -éwice tho number of all his works ever sold in Fronce. Mr. Apploton, brother-in-law to Mr. H. L., delivered tho translation to Jasmin. An sneak lf of bones, belonging to those mammoth a luvian animals which have created such a sensation among the professors of natural | history, have been found near Orleans. Among #hem ‘are the remains of a mastudon, the largest ever found in country. Three hundred and seventy emigrants from Wartem- derg left Paris for Havre, on their way to New York, on day last, by the pleasure train at nineo’clock. | These emigrants are ail laborers, and worthy, sober and industrious people. Their intention is to emi. rate to Oregon, on the shores of the Columbia rive; the Emperor of Russis, who w the value of these Wurtembergese, enticed, afew years ago, about five hundred from smong them to emigrate to the provinces of Tanorog aud Katerinoslow, where they sare now living very hupy, 4 oms, on the Awerican plan, where liquors, rved fruits aud re/reshments are sold, are very opulor in Paris. The only difference between the wo styles is, thatin Paris the barkeepers are women, whilst in America they are men. But there is another gort of addition which has been made to tie French barroom, which consists of an apparatus similar to the Voliaic pile, which is wed as atrick upoo those who are not acquainted with its pla in tthe bar- jroom. A few nights ago,an American prentle who bad come to France to be cured of a sort of pa: sigval-posts to lift their waruing fingers, and plat- forms to be laid down, whence the doctrine and ex: horiation will day and_night be practically given forth, to “go ahead.” The Indian and the buffalo Will hide themselves afar off, and be equally at a loss to know whut it all means. he prairie dog will burrow deeper, and the herds of wild horses will Scamper more wildly with the wind, when the steam horse snorts and pants and shricks after them from nd. The Mormovs will appoint a day of fast and humiliation because they are not perinitted to find the ends of the earth, any more than the Jews the end of their wandering. “The whales will slink away from the Pacific shore, and on the opposite the Asiatics will come down to gaze and hearken, from the Russian in his furs to the Malay in his cotton scarf. Will it be done? Can it be done? Why not ? ask the Americans, The only wonder to them is that it was not done long ago. ‘The Englishman who once saw Pitt and Fox and the first number of the “Edin- burg Review,” says that he remembers the discovery of that American interior, and the noise that was made by the travels of Lewis and Clarke, who de scribed such a region of wildness as it is preposter- ous to suppose can begin to support habitation and troflic for a centary to come. The American is saying meantime that his nation is growing as lazy as any of the Old Word peoples; that Lewis and Clurke bed told us all about the interior of the con- tinent so long ago as before his grandfather died. The whole thing should bave been at work before this time, and be cannot imagine what the world is waiting for. The work will no doubt be began. When and how it will be fished is a matter of more doubt, though it is probably only a question of time. The last Congress made an’ appropriatien for the purpoce gt a tiple survey of ® Yost: ern route; and now overy Congress, grost and emall, from tho halls of the Legislatures’ te’ the village tea-tablo, is vooiferourly discussing the project. That the thing fs to be done w quite settled, and everybody that the success is no less decided. The mere setuement of the country alony the route will pay for the road and “plant ;’? and tho goods ond passenger traffic will be all profit. All that is disposed of, with all the antecedents and conse- quences of increared uction in the Southern States, increased manuluctures in the North; more hoge killed by millions in Obie ; more grain grown in the West than Tamboff could ever boast ; visiters from Kamistechatka, aud Sbanghae, and Batavia, to the Virginia 8; 3 the transit of the Aragos, and Herschells Faradays through the States, to the scieutific meetings which will be held at Pekin, when the Chinese get their own again >, toll taken from the world in passing this new bridge over the gulf of barbarism—these results sre all clear and certain. It is quite another matter that engrosses all the serious argument of the cuse. In all sober- ness, it is a serious question—a more serivus one than ig often offered to man’s free choice. When we state what the question is, namely, which of the three proposed routes shall be preferred, the doubt is not about the difficulty of hill aud dale, rock and swamp, nor even abvut the depth of the mons and the Rope - the heats. Serious as such matters are 6 engineer, the merchaut and the emigrant, there are graver considerations for the statesman to weigh. In a word, there is a deep and spreading feeling among tho Americans that the completion of their Pacitic railway will bring to the test tho stability of their Uniou; and the apprehen- sion is seen by those who best know their country aud their politics, not to be unreasonable. If the northervmost rovte is chosen it will be sustained by the whole foree of European immigration, which certaiuly would not be the casc with the southern route, which would not suit either the physical or the moral constitution of the Germans, Dutch, Swedes, aud British, who are continually ing to the west, of the. States. The delegates who met at Memopltis were charged with the advocacy of a Southern route, which would intersect 'exas and Mexico, and come out on the Gulf of Culifornia. The most prominent hope from the latter scheme is that the South will at last flourish like the North, and have what the planters call “fair play” for thetr ‘peculiar institution.” The prepon- Gerence of the South iu Congress has not availed to give her prosperity ; and she uow demands another chance in the first posseesion of the grandest railway in the world- It is interesting to all the world to know how far she is right. The world’s opinion is in general, wo believe, that railroads and their acti- vity, and slavery with its anomalies, cannot co exist. That is our opinion. We should Sporehaad that there might be some extension southwestwards of the institution of slavery, in the American form, from the activity which would bo created along the line and it the end of it; bat we have little doubt that slavery would cease in the existiug American States which are seizing on this new method of mak- ing it auawer; and its introduction further down the line would hardy. perbaps, be an aggravation of the present condition of those who would then be slaves; add to which, there would be a cer- tainty of a preedy emancipation, from the same caures which would have wrought it higher up. We should heartily wish success to the South in her struggle for the road, if we did not believe that the fame results to her would follow in the case of the road being anywhere, while the danger of the exten- sicn of the area of slavery is less in the case of a northern route. Hither way—any way in which a railroad is concerned, w'th all its influx of intelli- fence and sympathies—the transmatation of slavery into a Ss it order of productive service is secure, a8 the South will find in her own case—will find, we trust, with a satisfaction she little anticipates. Meantime, the contest about the route is likely to be @ very serious one; and, when that is settled, the working of the project will be attended with extreme anxiety, till it is seen whether the interests and the views,and the temper of the North and South can be s0 reconciled aa that time and art shall consolidate and not explode the Union, which can hardly be more dear tc American citizens than it is interesting to all true citizens of the great empire of civilization. Foreign Theatri-als; M. Meyerbeer, who has been for the last fow weeks in Paris, leaves ina short time for the ses: side, where he will put the finishing touches to his new opera, for the advent of which the musical world has been so long on the qui vive. Wo are as- sured that it is worthy “The Prophete,” and “The Huguencts,” and that we may positively expect it to be out next winter. The German opera at Vienna has re-opened its doors for the season, Boieldieow’s “La Dame Blanche” being chosen for the occasion. The selec- tion ef a foreign opera was not, it appears, ayreea- ble to the German dilettanti, the Vienua Gazette angrily inquiring why the Frouch répertoire was ransacked for operas, and reminds tse impiesario that one Mozart, and one Beethoven, both Viennese, bad compcsed a few works which, perhaps, were equal to Boieldieu’s effusions.

Verdi's “Il Trovatore” bas been given at Padua, and with the same success that has everywhere at- tended its performance. The principal parts were sustained by Mme. de Giuli Borsdi, and Messrs.

Letters from Weimar state that the “Emperor of Pianists,’ M. Listz, is on the point of leaving that city on a tour to France and Switzerlavd ; he has already res'gned his post as director of the orchestra until bis return. Richard Wagner's “‘Tannahauser’’ seems to be re- ccived with the four enthusiasm in Germany. Its last and most brilliant triumph was in Posna. The opera by Augustus Papst, entitled “The Last Days of Pompeii,” which was produced in Dresden, has been very successful. The composer has received the permission ot the Duke of Saxe Coburg Gotha to dedicate the work to him. A grand musical festival is to take place at Carls- rhu early in September. It wili be entirely under the direction of Liszt. The German musical papers contradict the report that Madame Jenny Lind Goldschmidt will perform in the opera of her husband, as that lady is stated to be in an interesting conditien. There is some chance, we are told, of Signor Bilet- ta’s ‘' White Magic" making the tour of the German theatres, as the light operas by M. Von Flotow and Mr. Bulte have done betore it. A new play has been written by Benedix, whichis entitled ** A Comedy.” It is said that it is the in- tention of the author to have it translated into Mag- lish, and that it will be produced at one of the Lon- don theatres, Mery is about to make a more serious endeavor to bree dramutic renown than he has yet attempted. e has written a five act tragedy, of which one of the Guzmans of the great Spanish house of Medina- Sidonia is the hero.

Comic news- pe} do not seem to eucced here as they do abroad. ‘he gaders are wo widely ecu'tered to appreciate local jones, j have generally beem loft to depend on the humoi of o0e or two editors, nnd m> mom can be witty every week io his Punch is switsiced by the coa- tributhos of Cozens of writers, aod its «uccoss enables it to conprand the services of the most popular humorists Of th@day, and to pay well for them, Weclip the above paragraphs from the Albany Evenhg Journal, though the context, and tho sourcewbence they are derived, are matters of little momett, as we design using the extract in much the same vay that popular preachers employ their scrip- tural pbylacteries—thut is to say, as a convenient occasin for some very promiscuous remarks, and pho oly apy other purpose than to improve our text, The obituary, or oratio funebris, pronounced by the Albany Journal over die unlamented remains of the exinguiched Lantern—(which never was any thing Wetter than a very dark lantern indeed)—may, perbap, furnish a true explanation, as far ag it Goes, ofthe early decline of that Ingubriously comical eet, Which never strayed beyond the line of “ very Sens mirth ;” but it is only a partial explanation of “tedions brief” term of its egulgence ; and affords no eolution of the curious nomenon that, since the Lantern has gone out there is no greater darkness than before in the atmosphere, and, not- withstanding the disappearance of the corrusca- tions of the Northern galaxy, no stars can be dis- Sorecee to be missing from the heaven of New York wit. hss na Soot * the mete core ite plained,on the ple supposed by ny Journal, the old aphorism— Virtus laudetur et slget— thet merit was unappreciated and unpaid, we should bave very little to say. But, unfortunately, however true the asseveration might be in regard to the starvation part of the maxim,—which we do not doubt, as the paper had always a lean and hungry look, like Cessius, and illustrated its name by being excistively lantern juwed—the merit was not merely unappreciated, but inuppreciable, and whatever praie it got, was manufactured by itself at the same time that it ce mpounded its other good things. ‘There was aa constant Vos plaudite, permeatiog every issue of the paper, but there wore the only ylandits bestowed upon it, and if it realized the scriptural declaration in its death, that “its good works do follow it.'' it amply provided that its own £000 werds should go before. i loyeniously effected that its picnic should be eaten Wy it before it was baked; avd anticipated its posthumous fame by treuting itself toon imaginary contemplation of rd- ne freited, but never acqtired. Several awkward and elaborate off made in the clumsy and overgrown city of New York to produce, by artificial means, a continuo streem of wit and humor; but eve tempt has eveutuated in pretcy much the same re- sult as attended Paine’s celebrated waterlight. In both pluces the supply of cold water was most abun, dant; but in neither did the light become even mo- mentarily apparent, although promi: flourish of trumpets, and a wonde ol rams’ horns, and painfully coutrived by ly mechonical process. he water would remain un- chinged, aud would admit no miracle; the scintilla- tious would not manifest themselves, much less would they combine into any jet of brilliancy. Of these feeble tapers, which are brought forward asthe grand luminaries of the Northern heavens, though they burut but very wa and always hada musky look and a fetid odor, which indicated ran- cid train oil as their sole aliment, the John Donkey and the Laitern—sire and son—were the most il- lustrious or the most illustrated competitors for po- pular favor. Neither of them ever attained even the rude comicality of Davy Crockett’s almanac, or sur- | Deena its dignity; bat they prolonged the doubtful honors of their house. There was no chance of mis- apprehending the bray of the former; it was one of those rare beings which spoke for itsel/—an accom- plisbwent only once Jand then miraculou-ly, attained before in the long history of the race, in the case of Baalam’s intelligent charger. Still the John Donkey ‘was very funny, as was inevitable when a jackas attempted vocal music and singing for the million. The laugh, however, exploded in the wrong direc- tion. It furvished a new elucidation, so pointedly made by Lord Rochester's epigram, and was at the expenee of the joker, not in concert with his wit. A wheezy and asthmatic respiration, a heavy move- ment of the lungs and diaphragm, like the working of a blacksmith’s bellows, und a tinical falvetto in the vocslization, did not prevent the paternity of the Zaitern from being recognized. It was the image of its father; it had its father’s nose, its father’s eyes, his voice, and his ears. And io thy lisenmects we trace ‘The features «f thy farber’a face, Acd oll bis epivit dwells in thee The younger donkey, however, courted all the latest fashions; it not tarry at Jericho till its beurd was grown, byt mixed tar and grease together for a lather, and tried to shave with a dull razor in an old Icoking-glass stolen from Punch, and impor- ted from England expressly tor its use. It studied all the modern blandi-hmenta, imitated all the modern arts, and applied all the Intest inventions in machin- ery—to no purpose. It was true to the traditions of its race, it was worthy of its illustrious heritage, and ever remained incon eivably dull. No oue who bas not experienced such martyrdom, can coujecture the torment of reading by the light of such a lautern, or estimate the agony of puinfally fixing our- selyes for visible exercise, protraciing the cach- innatory tension of the musdes and straining for a laugh through a dezen solid pages and as many wooden engravings, witlout encountering anything to justify such an indieretion. It is in- finitely worse than the prolonged expectation of a sneeze when no sneeze will come. Yet such was the hebdomadal torture inflicted by he Lantern; and it was accompanied with an osteitatious parade of all the masks, grimaces, thumb screws, racks, wheels, quirks, quips, caricatures;and other imple- ments employed iu the oceupationof Momus, But though they worshipped bim as te god of merri- ment, he replied with a leaden ecegye in his land, ouly as the god of sleep. Amourst the ancient ‘Thesealians there was an annual céebration in ho- nor of the divinity of laaghter, but tle modern Lan- tern would have obscured the fesvtul, and its edi- tors were never initiated into thejysteries. We are cordially grateful for our timely iberation from the gloomy amusement afforded hy te New York rush it. We are giad that the tiat his gone forth, “ Out, out, brief car and that the sme ky illn- mivation has been eftectually drowsecin the thick and meddy oil with which its dull flanewas fed.

Is New York either witty or humorous? 2. Why is New York neituer witty nor humorous? 3. Ought New York to be elther witty or humorous? In taking up the first bead of tnia disoourse, we are very much in the condition of Dogberry, and wight ‘address the prisoners at the bar in’ this language, Masters, it is proved already that you are little better than false villains, and it will go near to be thought so shortly.” For the proof was forced upon us by the John Donkey and the Lantern, and other smaller and more hybrid specimens of the race, before we charged tho offence upon them. Moreover, any one who will take the trouble of seriously examining them for them. selves—and we defy them to examine them with other than sad and serious feelings—wiil dix cover that whatever merriment is excited by their antics, is due to the same causes which make us laugh at the grimaces of a monkey. We donot laugh at any intrinsic excellence of any sort in the per- formances of the poor ape, but we laugh at the fmt tation o° that which is not and can never be. It is the partial and apparent resemblance, uuited with a hopeless and irremediable difference—the discordant concord—wbich stimulates the risibility. And thus, with the wit and humor of New York; the only ex- oure for a smile is the palpable exposure of the difference between ‘to ve" and “not to be.” There is an anxious determination to reach a point which is never attained, an eager avidity to produce an effect without appreciating the impor- tance or the nature of the cause, a zealous inclination to do something, without knowing exactly what, or being uble to achieve anything at all. Phe whole of the evolutions of the would-be witty New Yorkers amount to a parade drill; they fire blank cartridyes with as much noise and smoke as if they were firing ball; they sim at nothing or at a target of straw with the same unquiet precision as if they meant mischief; and they return ramrods with ‘as much re syproval as if they had rammed down anything ut wad, After this penineon aa explanation we pass to the second bead, and inquire why New York is neither witty nor humorous. We do not think that a simpler or more satisfuctory answer cun be given than the simple dcviaration that posse comes before esse, or, in vulgar parlance, that in all achievements the first spell must be to spell able. This the New York wits, since the time of ving and Paulding, have never succeeded in doing. eir nearest ap- proach to the mastery of their task has been an everlasting repetition of Puffer Hopkins It is not the want of py or the want of popularity, or the want of indefatigable laborers, that has rendered New York neither witty nor humorous, bat the entire want of wit and humor; and this unluckily is one of those wants which cannot be supplied by the ‘bulls and bears of Wall street, the merchants of Broadway, or the trade, commerce, and manufac- teres of the city. If any furtler explanation were reacires of the entire absence of real wit or genuine humor in the city of New York, abundant reasons might be as- signed. It would ouly be necessary to observe the progress of the cumbrous omnibusses Bling the crowded streets, and note the eager, anxious, impa- tient and greedy faces of the inside passengers, or to examine the haggard earnestness of physiognomy which characterizes the pedestrians on tue side- walks. The only indication of wit is the ovident certainty that they are at all times at their wit’s end; the only sign of humor is the signet of ill humor stamped upon their care-worn countenances. Stroll up the city and enter the municipal library. We 3 of it as it was some three yearsago. it may have been replenished for the World's Exhibi- tion. But at that time the great bibliotheca con- tained an antiquated copy of Rees’ Cyclopwdia, a mutilated edition of the Statutes, and a eps proving at least that the city fathers were a far- seeing race, and were inclined to star-gazing, if not prey for apy other intellectual exercises, ‘ass along Wall street, ayd stop at the offices of the brokers, and at their places of gatheriag. In the fraud, chicanery, deception, and gambliag, in which souls are staked, and gold is the prize; in the constant alternations of bluff, bragg, &c., stocks may rise, bat spirits must tall. Enter the gorgeous shops on Broadway; silks, satins and velvets, laces, diamonds, and perfumery, are very abundant, and very attractive, but the glitter and eplendor are the handi-work of man’s hand, and speak to the purse and not tothe mind of man. The only wit tolerable in the city of New York would be to inscribe over the door of the City Hall the epitaph of Gil Peres, the licentiate. Go into the factories, note the curious works in iron; one fellow in a big cylinder holding « hammer above bishead azain-t the rivets, snother on top thundering away with a sledge on the s)norous metal. It is not by such collision that the sparks of wit are elicited, nor is there much chance for humor within a bondred miles of such an infernal den. We mizht as well expect a bon mot from Polyphemas, or anticipate the feast of reason and the fluw of sou in the dipgy and noisy ‘The fruits of the spi city so completely given up to the world, the flesh, and the devil, which the sedaloas itunts zealously renounce every Sunday, and lous'y practis> every other day in the wee It would thus be eq im, rand inco! tent that New Yo morous, an¢ no del the only wit Donkeyism. ‘Thus it appears that New York is neither w nor humorous, for the same reason that an ow: asky-lark: because it is not. After this inte: tion, reasons become as plentiful as blackberries, and the allegations of the ee seme may be thrown into the same bushel-basket with the rest, to be used when wanted. Thirdly and lastly, ought Now York to be elther witty or humorous? We see no use for any such vo- cation. Let it do its duty in that state of life unto which it has pleased God to call it. There has been no divine call to either wit or humour, bat an irre- sistible call the other way. Nothing should be suf- fered to interfere with the manifest destiny of the Got! es, The realm of dulness and of Mammon is their own,and they should not follow after strange eyds. They have as little need of either wit or hu- mor as our whig brethren have of finan:ial, econo- ical, or political discernment. BrutaL Ovrrack—Mysteriovs Disaprear- ayxce.—On the 9th instant, about 5 o'clock P. M., two men, brothers, named Amos and Allen Smith, were } receeding in a wagon along tie road leading from Sheridan through the centre of Arkeright, when they met an old man, a stranger, bare about fifty or sixty years of age. Allea asked the old gentleman to fight with him. He replied that be did not wish to fight. Allen told him that he should fight, aud, jumping out of the wagon, knock- ed him down. He then followed up the assault by kicking and bruising him in a most brutal manner. Amos Smith finally interfered and took Allen off. Mr. H. Harrington at this time coming up, found she old man covered with blood, the Smiths stand. ing by. ‘The old man narrated the cireuinstan to Harrington, and inquired the way to o justice’s. Being airected to Mr. Griswold’s, who lives on the same road, two anda half miles distance from the lace of assault, he started in that direction with larrington, who accompanied him but a little way. He was efterwards observed by two other persons, living about a mile from Mr. Griswold’s, passing along the road in the same direction, his face bloody, and walking weak, which was the last seen of hin.

The excite- ment in Arkwright is intense, and hundreds since Tuesday lust have turned oat to searca the woods near which the missing person was last seea, but as yet without gaining any trace of him. Warrants y sued for the arrest of the two Smiths. The principal offender, Allen, disgnived himself in. fe- iwnale clothing, and for a time eluded detection. Doth were, however, arrested.

He offered to sell the whole tor $40,000, and stated. he expected to be in New York in a few days, An the early part of September Mr Howard, hay- ing returned to this city, called at the office of Mr. Pierce, and saw Picrce’s clerk, to whom he gave his address, aud by whom he wus informed that tee Messrs. Johnson were the parties who had propesed. to purchase. He also had one or more interviews with Mr. Pierce, when a meeting betweea Howard and Johnson, at Pierce's office, was arranged for the afternoon of a subsequent day. Of this appointment notice was given to Mr. Joha- son; it, on the morning of the day ap- pointed, Mr. Howard apprised Mr. Pierce thathe hed made up his mind to reject Johnson's offer for the purchase of the four lots, and would not, therefore, meet him as appointed. Mr. Johnson called at the office of the plaintiff, at the timo appointed for the meeting with Howard, and was thon ioformed the plaintiff that the defendant had withdrawa offer of the four lots feparatsly, and would only the whole parcel. He advised Johnson to take the eight lots, and, in reference to Johnson's pro; te purchare four, remarked that he had done all he cculd to bring about an arranzement, and that Joun~ son had better call on Howard personally, and see what he could do. A few days afterwards Johnson called on Mr. Homer. Morgan, anoth-r real estate broker, with whom he was acquainted, and inquired whether he knew Mr. Howard. Being answered in the affirma- tive, he told Morgan that he had been negotiating, through Pierce, for a portion of the lots belonging te Howard, but that the negotiation had been off by Howard’s declining the offer, and he requested Morgan to introduce him to Mr. Howard. An introduction was accordingly giv Howaré declined to sell the four lots, but offered the eight upon the terms before stated by Pierce, and the nexs day, which was on the 16th of September, a cam- tract, drawn by Morgan, was executed betweem Howard and Johnsen, for the sale of the eight lota, for the sum of $40,000. Johnson testified that he was not induced to make the purchase in conse~ quence of anything which Pierce had said, but was solely influenced by the assurance of Morgan that he could sell the four npeen lots for half the coat of the whole, leaving to Johnson the four he desired, a& the cost of $20,000. On learning that the bargain had been consuas- mated, Pierce claimed from Howard the payment ef his commissions, which was refused; and Johnsem, having failed to find a pachere, through the agency of Morgan, for the lots he did not wists to keep, sold them back to Howard, npon terms ag disclosed in the evidence. About the time of the commencement of this suit, Howard and Johasom got together, and, for some unexplained reagom, greed to cancel the contract as to the four remaim- ig lots, also. is Honor Judge Daly charged the jary, that if, up to a certain time, the plaintiff was the middie- man between the parties, and had commanieated to each the name of the other, so that it was by hie introduction, or through his instrumentality aad agency that they came together, they could not, any act of their own, or through the iuterveatioa another broker, withdraw the matter from the hands of the plaivti h way as to deprive him of hg commissions. the jury believed that tae de fendant had empioyed the plaintiff as his broker, upd authorised him to negotiate a sale of the le and that the WY bad found the parcha it not matter whether the negotation was coasum- mated by the plaintiff, or by the parties themselves, without the presence of the plaintiff, and could net aftecs his right to compensation. valid contract for the sale of the lots by the defendant aud tue purchase of them by Johnson, teen entered into by them, the only question ji whether the plaintiff had rendered vice which resulted in the parties Wipers sae 2d making the contract, and with» 2 they would not have been brought te If be cid, his claim to compeusation be © perfect, on the execution of the contract be- | tween the defendant and a Seige purchaser, | thus procured by him, and coul not be varied ubsequent agreement between the vender purchaser, cancelling or varyiug the original com tract.

The Jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for $400—the tull amount claimed. U_ 8. Commissioner's Court. Before Joreph drigham, Esq.
