Single copies, im wrappers, Mfuypence. The News. ‘The Coroners’ records yesterday exhibited an alarm- img increase of deaths caused by the hea’ of the weather. Although the day did not appear any ‘warmer than the day previous, by the thermometer, yet the deaths reported at the Coroners’ offices amounted to ninety cases. Some of these, in all probability, were the result of exposure to the heat on Saturday. During this extreme heat it becomes mecessary for all persons of fall habit of body, and those particularly who are predisposed to apoplexy, to be very careful and not over heat their syst’ms, as the result of so doing will most assuredly prove fatal. In Brooklyn, the number of deaths caused from the beat was truly frightful, being greater than thoce in this city, according to the population, by mearly three toone. It may be proper to state that agreat number of the streets in Brooklyn are so located that the buildings do not affurd the least protection from the sun during any part of the ¢ on either side, and to this fact may be attributed, in some degree, the swelling of the number of deaths from the overpowering heat. We learn from Philadelphia that General Ben- nett, who was a captain in the Pennsylvania volun teers during the Mexican war, and lately emoloyed in the Assayer’s Office of the United States Mint, ‘was a victim on Saturday of the intenze heat, whieh, it appears, was prevalent in the room in which he | waslocated. Five others, in different parts of the city, shared his fate. The City Inspector's weekly report of deaths will be found in another column, aud by the aggregate aumber it would appear that the increase over the preceding week is very slight. It must be borne in mind that this report is made up on-Saturday, from certificates which are given fu by the sextons who are employed to attend to the burial of deccased per song, 0 that deaths, in most cases, are not reported ‘to the City Inspector until after the obseqnies are performed over the dead bodies. From this it will be manilest that all, or nearly all, of those who diel on Fridsy and Saturday are not included in the pub- lished report, but will be added to swell the agyure- gate of the present week's avcount. [ff the hot weather continues and the rays of the sua abate not their severity during the coming five days, what figures will show tke total number of deaths in thy Bext report, we dare not venture to predi¢t—they will be too friglisful to dwell upon. The evidence taken before the mner’s inquest which was held on Saterday, upon the bodies of the unfortunate victims of the Providence and Worcester Railroad accident, will be found in our columns this morning, together with an interesting letter from a passenger upon one of the ili fated trains, descriptive of the horrid scene attendant upon the catastrophe. We should infer, by what appears ia the tele. graphic letter of ow Washington correspondent, that Mr. Secretary Marcy is in somewhat of a quandary im relation to asserting the rights of citizenship, where a declaration of intention bas only been de- olared. It is stated that he already stands commit- ted upon the question; but whether his previously expressed opinions are to guide him in the presen: cate, remaina yet to be seen. He is no doubt ina knot which it will require the nid of the Prezident to antic. We have the anthority of the Norfolk Merald for stating that the steamer Alleghany will be immet c tele Mted ont, and placed at the disposal of Mr Wainer, ammissiouer 9 China, to convey him to his destination.

Polltics of the Day=Tharlow Weed and Ed- ward Kverett—The “Key to Uncle Tom’s Canin” Found, Recently there appeared in the Albany Eve- ning Journal, an editorial explanation, by Mr. Thurlow Weed. of the modus operandi through which Hon. Edward Everett secured the con- firmation of his appointment to England, in 181. According to Mr. Weed’s account of the affair. there was a Southern conspiracy organ- ized in the Senate. of whigs and democrats, to reject Mr. Everett's nomination, on the ground of his supposed abolition proclivities ; and his rejection was only prevented by the activity of Mr. Weed and some others, in the rapid manu- facture of the necessary amount of public opinion to defeat the conspirators. But the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, in what we consider a most satisfactory article, takes the conceit entirely out of the Albany free soiler, in “ vindicating the truth of history” upon the question at issue. We refer the reader to the article in another part of this paper, embracing the statement of Master Weed. of all which even a hasty perusal will, we think. afford a conclu- sive judgment against the officious man of Albany. ® But, cui bona, What good has been derived by thus cutting down the self-importance of the Albany editor to its proper standard? What difference do2s it make whether Weed is right or wrong? The confirmation of Mr. Everett to England was an affair of twelve years ago. Of what importance is it now, whether there was or was nota dangerous Southern conspiracy against Mr. Everett in the United States Senate in 1841? and who cares a twopence whether Mr. Weed did or did not save the Union by defeat- ing that conspiracy? Is it not enongh to know that Mr. Everett was confirmed, that the Union was saved, and that both the Union and Mr. Everett are now in a sound and flourishing con- dition? Whence. then, the necessity of Mr. Weed’s statement at this late day? The object of the Buffalo Commercial is evidently nothing more than to maintain the truth of history. But what could have been the object of Mr. Weed’s consequential exposition, and what the meaning of the mysterious gravity and importauce with which he has invested this long forgotten affair? We shrewdly suspect that there is an answer at hand for this last atd most suggestive inter- rogatory; and if we have not found “The Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin,” we ‘are mightily mistaken. Prima facie, Mr. Weed’s statement appeared to us nothing more than a pointless bit of egot- ism. We republished it, however, as a political memorumdum, for what it might be worth. But on finding that the New York Zridune adopted the article with the same grave and mysterious expression of countenance as the Athany Journel, we were ivelined to suspect that there was a cat in the meal tab, though ble to the naked eye. This mi ng is now confirmed; and we are free to declare that to the best of our knowledge and belie and from all the cireumstantial evidence log’ cally applicable to the case, the object of Mr. Thurlow Weed, in this expose of his con- ecrning Mr. Everett’s coufirmation to England, was to cripple him in the South, and among the Union whigs of the North. ia reference to the next Presidential campaign. Mark how plainly the organ and the agent of W. H. Seward con- firms this rational and cousistent tion. In 1841, there was s confirmation of Byerett’s apy to England, beeause of his su soil and abolition proclivities. position would probally have de but for the adroituess of his friends in seiz- ing upon the proper time for the vote—that is, when, by a count of ihe Senate, ered the re- quired majority. But the subsequent history of Mr. Everett has amply vindicated him against the abolition odium whieh his misgnided poli- tical enemies attempted to fasten upon him in the Senate. He has passed throngh the fire, and has come out of it without even the smell of smoke upon his garments. He has jastilied the friendship and confidence of Henry Cloy; and if Mr. Weed went, in hie pious pilgrimage to Washington, in 1841, under the idea that be was promoting the cause of avvlition and free soil, in securing Mr. Everett's confirmation, no man will now deny that his brotherly love thrown into a losing investment. Ti has become manifest, withia the short i terval of half a year, that there is not a man the country more popular with, or more a able. or in any way more acceptable to th Union compromise men of the late w than Edward Everett, of Massachusetts. in half a year he has ach tation proud asthe result of the labors of a li in the field of politi g, we Say. is mani- fest.

He has said enough and done enough to prove it. Re is evidently in favor of the acquisiton of Cuba, at the right time, and in the right way, in spite of the institution of slavery. We suspect that, were that island now in our possession, he would hardly hesitate to vote (ifcalled upon to vote) for its admission into the Union asa slave State. This is enough. This will do as an explanation of Mr. Weed’s statement of the affuir of 1841. Mr. Everett has become ob noxious to W. H. Seward, Weed and Com- pany, in the inverse ratio ot his popularity with the Union compromise and progressive whigs of the whole country; and unless the stigma of abolition or free soil antecedents can be fastened upon him, there is some danger that he may become too strong for the Seward dis- organizers in 1856. Hence, we believe that the object of Master Weed in this business, was. and is, to cripple Mr. Everett, in reviving and diffusing the exploded suspicion of his identity with the partizans of Seward and “the higher law.” In this view of the subject we turn it over to the judgment of the public. Time, pet haps, will substantiate our own. Thus much for Mr. Weed’s disinterested ex- position of the confirmation of the appointmert to England, of twelve years ago.

Our Retations wren Mexico.—We publéh this morning. some important and interesting psrticulars relative to the internal conditionof the republic of Mexico—again disturbed vy revolutionary outbursts—and concerning he policy which our administration is determired to pursue, and, if necessary, to enforce compli- ance with on the part of Mexico. Our Havana correspondent intimates that the popular fecling in the sister republic is tot very strong in favor of Santa Anna, and he refers to outbreaks in the States of Guaira- juato and Zacatecas to verify his asserton. The Mexican jonrnals, on their side, admit/the breaking out of some insurrectionary spiks in those States, but deny to them any polifcal character, and ddd that” they were supprased by the action of the authorities. The other pieces of information connated with this subject—and to which we are inclined to attach some importance--are taken ‘rom the Freeman’s Journal, and profess w he an outline of the instructions given by our government to General Gadsden on his proveed- ing to take charge of his post as Minister to Mexi As this paper is the representative of the Catholic interest in New York terest which enters largely into the Me question--we presume that its information on this point is in the main correct. From this sonree, therefore, we learn that General Gadsden is instracted to demand and insist on the cession by the Mexican govern- ment of aright of way in the thitty-second de- gree of latitude. for the great Pacific Railroad, in return for which the qaestion of the Tehuan- tepec affair will he set at rest—th> demands for the Indian depredations cancelled--the ling heneeforth forming the most cficknt protectiod” against the savages, and virtually abrogating the eleventh article of the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo——and Mexico admitied to an eqaal share in the advantages of the rou.

Revigr ror New Orrxans.—It is gratifying to be able to testify in substantial thousands, to the promptitude with which, under the terrible pressure of the prevailing pestilence in New Orleans, the appeals for relief to the poor and destitute of that city, under the terrible pres- sure of the prevailing pestilence, have been responded to in New York, Philadelphia, Balti- more, and other places. Yet, gencrous as have been the subscriptions from our fellow citizens, something more should be done by them; we have been requested, in this view, to throw out the suggestion of a general benefit at all our theatres, concert halls, panoramas, and other places of amusement, with a contribution box at each place, in addition to the ticket of ad- mission—the whole net receipts to be turned over to the Howard Association. Doubtless, upon this plan, a large sum of money could be immediately collected ; and every moment is precious where the pestilence is sweeping off from one hundred and fifty to two hundred souls daily, out of a population reduced perhaps to fifty thousand. But whatever plan may be adopted, it is to be hoped that New York will amply vindicate her just claims to humanity, liberality, and superior ability, in her relief to the suffering people of New Orleans, Crystal Palace, On Saturday last the Industrial Exhibition was not so well filled with visiters as usual. The hot weather has had its effect upon that, as well as upon allelee. Those of our citizens who could possibly leave have fled from the city, and those who remain are not inclined to undertake the task of a half-day’s walk through the Crystal Palace, while the thermo- meter is above 90 degrees. Among the new additions to the Palace is a valu- able relic, presented by Doctor Boyle, of Washington city. This is a crystal flute, formerly presented to James Madison, President of the United States, and by him left to Colonel J. Paine Todd, of Washing- ton; and Colonel Todd, in his will, bequeathed the same to Doctor Boyle, the present owner and ex- hibitor. It is made entirely of crystal, and is silver mounted. It bears the following inscription, upon one silver plate—A. 8. E. James Madison, President deg Etats-Unis.” Upon another, “ Laurent a Paris, 1813.” A glass case, the-shape of the flute, con- tains it, each end of the instrument being fastened inside.

We are not yet eure that ihe plan will sueceed, but wa hope that something of the kind will tarn up, to relieve us of the trouble in printing our edition in time for our subseribers. Mr, J. L.
