We do not 3 Te day. ‘The report of the City Inspector shows that nine Bamdred dnd sixty-nine persons died in this city @uring the week which ended last night. Arranged aasording to sex, we find that there weré’three hun- @eed and sixty-two men, ove hundred and fifty-six ‘wemen, two hundred and thirty-eight boys, and two Immedred and thirteen girls, amongst the deceased. Gempered with the return of the preceding seven @aye the general total exhibits an exeess of mortality amonnt/ng to three hundred and eighty-four cases. ‘The predisposing causes of disease remained un banged, but the terrible effects of the late “ hot week” are showa upon this record with the awfai eertainty of statistical regularity. The fata! @ases of sun stroke amounted to two hundred ond fourteen, whilst forty-two adults died of apoplexy, and sixty-nine of congestion of the braia. ‘The increase of deaths from the two last named dis- eases alone amounted to vinety-nine; and as the ma jority of them may be fairly classed with those re- galing from the excessive heat, it will be seen that Wiis extraordinary and mournful addition can be ac- eeunted for without the existence of an epidemic. ‘We may add that forty-two persons died of the vari- (gus fevers—that of the typhus type carrying away four- teen—whilst inflammations of the great cavities, or their contents, swept off forty-nine, of whom twenty- amount of infantile and adult mortality is not so wemarkable as during the foregoing week. Four and forty-five of the deceased children were ten years of age, but four hundred and persons between the ages of twenty and Mifty years died within the same time, the latter the periods of life at which their ordinary @ccupations and cares compelled the working classes fe expose themselves to the unusual high tempera- tare. Four hundred and seventy-eight are registered ‘aa natives of the United States, three hundred and ‘thirty as frish, and one hundred and six as Germans. ne hundred and seventy people died in five down tewn warde—from number one—and four hundred and fonr in five up town wards—counting from num- ber fifteen. The greatest number of deaths during any one week of the last cholera visitation amounted te somewhat over fourteen hundred. A despatch from New Orleans states that two Immdred and twenty-seven persons died from yellow ever, and fifteen from other causes, on Friday last— Ibeing a considerable increase on the mortality of the two previous days. Though many of ite members hnave been cut off by the epidemic, the Howard Asso- @istion continues its work of humanity without ‘wavering, and is about opening four new hospitals fer the reception of the unfortunate. Mr. H. W. Hull, & planter of Louisiana, has authorized the Howard Amociation to draw on him for $100 a week during ‘@e continuance of the fever at New Orleans. Full @etaile of the latest intelligence from the stricken @ity are given elsewhere. Fourteen fatal cases of cholera are reported to have occurred at Cumberland, Md., since Wednesday ast. The disease, which is declared to be subsiding, ie supposed to have been produced by the overflow ef a canal which runs through a portion of the town- Our special Washington correspondent writes that 91,100,000 of government stocks have been pur- @hased within the last three wecks by the Secretary of the Treasury, of which $626,000 were United States sixes of 1367-1363, at the premium fixed, twenty-one per cent. This does not seem to suit Mr. Hodge, the Assistant Secretary of the ‘Treasury. He wants the treasury depleted at a more rapid rate. He undoubtedly has some specu- ating scheme on hand—some plan to help the specu- Iators of Wall street out of their financial difficul- tées. He appears to sympathize deeply with them im their, distreases. Fortanately Mr. Guthrie holds ‘the key to the strong bex, and stands forth as the ebampion of the Sub-Treasury system. It has acted ‘as a check upon all sorta of speculation, and it must mot be disturbed. Wedo not want the treasury il- legally depleted. A despatch from Washington gives currency toa feport that Governor Howell Cobb, of Georgia, will get the mission to France. The chances of General Dix for this vacant post are now looked upon as out of the question. The quarrels among the New York democracy have completely blighted every prospect that the General wi!l get anything better than his present office of Sub-Treasurer at thisport. A grand se-union, in commemoration of the battles of Con- fwreras and Churubusco, took place yesterday between General Pierce and several of the officers who be- Youged to his brigade in Mexico. In eonseqnence of deregularities, a great many clerks have lately been dismissed from the Treasury Department. The curious case’ of Edymoin, who was lately pardoned out of the Auburn State prison by Gover- mor Seymour on the strength of forged papers setting forth the convict’s excellent conduct and im- paired health, and alleged to be signed by all the chief officers of the priaon, yesterday came up fora hearing,on a writ of habeas corpus, at Auburn. This affair excites unusual attention among the legal fra- ternity of this State, and the result of the investi- gation is looked for with great anxiety. Should Eéymoin succeed in making the Governor's pardon hold good, it is not improbable that he will be re- arrested and held accountable for the alleged forgery of the papers which had the effect of liberating him, so that, under any circumstances, he is in a very perplexing predicament. We give in full to-day the opinion of Jadge M’Lean in the late Fugitive Slave case in Cin cinnati, by which, as was previowsly announced by telegraph, the slave was delivered up to his claim- ant in spite of the protestationa of pseudo-philan- ‘thropists and the slave stealing abolitionists ot the Queen. City. The opinion is a jearned disquisition on the econstitationality of the Fugitive Slave law, and Judge M'Lean has no doubt satisfied himself that a cour try has powerto make laws for its own government and safety, the ovinions of mad aboli- tionists to the contrary notwithstanding. Files of Bermuda journals to the 10th of this month have reached us. They do not contain any news of importance. The committee of the House of Assem bly appointed to try the merits of the controverted election petition of Paget county had brought its labors to a close, and declared Mr. Gosling’s veat void. The Legislatare was in seasion. There are no remarks regarding the state of the weather or public health. ‘ The South Carolina papers are complaining of heavy rains, which have caused great injury to the crops of cotton. This number of our paper contains further par- tienlars relative to the suicide of the two girls in Manchester, N. H., and a variety of religious, political, local, and general information; to all which ‘he attention of the reader ia referred without cow- ment. ‘The Collins steamer Pacific is now due, with four days later Buropean intelligesce. | NEW YORK ey ‘The philosophers of the Tribune have unfurled the Prophet’s Banner and the Holy Shirt against the New Yorm Humatp; or, rather, they have attagked us with the ferocious derperation of a gang af freebooters driven into a corner, blind and yeoklees in thelr impotent rage. We hesitated between the expedient of their annihilation and the alternative of turning them quietly over to their special rival in the newspaper business, Their fate is clear enough in the hands of the latter. but a passing word or two of exhortation and discipline may be Deneficial to our philosophers and satisfactory to our readers. - e The immediate provocation to this dreadful growling, barking, snapping and snarling of the Tribune philosophers, ia charged to the complimentary allusions to the New Yor Hxraxp at the Seandinavian meeting the other night by Mr. Carstensen, a gentleman who haa proved himself a man of sound diecrimina- tion, judgment and taste. But the shocking bad temper ef eur philosophers betrays an accumulation of grievances not set down in the indietment. The unpardonable offence of the New Yors Henaxp is its unparalleled prosperity. ‘It has increased, is increasing,” and our philosophers have said, over and over again, that “it ought to be diminished.” Pub- lic opinion is against them, to be sure. The peculiar notions of our Tridune philosophers are generally considered distasteful, disor- ganizing. revolutionary, treasonable and infidel; and hence. extraordinary and inexplicable as the fact.may seem to Greeley & Co., the vast body of the reading public, within the country avd without the country, despise them. their abominable doctrines, and their disciples: while at the same time, all over the United States, and all over the world, the New York Heratp is the paper of the people. Our advertising patronage and our daily issue— ranging from forty-eight to fifty thousand copies daily, and only prevented from being one hundred thovsand from the inability of any machinery that human ingenuity has thus far in- vented todo the work in season—is the satis- factory and conclusive answer we have to make to the general tirade of our ferocious philoso- phers. The simple fact that the best support from an intelligent community is sure to be. given to the best newspaper renders the HeraLp impregnable to the malice of itsenemies. Daily circulation, fifty thousand ! The particular assault of our Fourierite philosophers upon Mr. Bennett just now isin keeping with the sort of manly courage and decency which have ever charac- terized the Tribune. Mr. Bennett is now ab- sent in Europe, and it we recollect aright, the Tribune has on several previous oceasions availed itself of his absence for an exhibition of its intrepidity. Greeley is a bold man at a long distance, while face to face he disarms hostility fron! his lack lustre expression and appear- ance of dirt and imbecility. In Congress he cowered like a spaniel before the cross-exami- nation of indignant members; but safely back in New York, he was fearless as a lion and fierce as a tiger. Daily irsue of the Herap, fifty thousand! What is to be the fate of the Tribune we can- not divine. Its Fourierism and Atheism— its red republicanism for France, and its law and order for Cuba, have only excited public contempt. Ita late diseavery that the black man is a negro comes too late. Its abuse of the South does not appear to pay. Perhaps if Greeley were to make the tour of the South- ern States he would learn something to his advantage. In the disguise of decency he would be safe. He would be safe as an at- taché of the Herap; and with atull recantation of his abominations. with a promise to return from the error of his ways, to become civilized, to become honest, to become a good citizen, to cease conniving with and encouraging traitors, to cease his vain efforts to overthrow the laws of the land and the society of civilized men, with a view of introducing the epoch of wo- man’s rights, negro emancipation, equality and amalgamation, Fourierism, infidelity and anarcby—with a promise to give up Slieve- garmmoniem, hypocrisy, cant. humbug, claptrap, twaddle, and moonehine, we may even consent to let him go upon his good behavior. Daily edition of the Henan, fifty thousand ! The policy of the Heratp is to live down the abuse of our philosophers, by its su- periority as a newspaper, and by its fidelity to the Union, to the principles of common sense, honesty and dece@cy, by its adhesion to the usages of civilized society and Christianity, and by its special antagonism to that officious Seward organ, the friendship of which was so disastrous to the Presidential aspirations of General Scott. Daily requisition upon the Herat, fifty thousand! A word of neighborly advice to our philo- sophers, Let them look to their special rival. The same class of patronage will hardly suffice for both the elder and the younger Seward organ. As the one gains the other must lose: but why should the losing party fall upon us? Is the Henatn’s prosperity also responsible? So, then, let it be. We bow to the will of the people. The daily issue of the Heratp—while “the cry is. still they come’’—is fifty thousand ! We think this will do. Tne Mestita Vatiey Questron—Tue First Sxrausu.—Boundary wars generally begin by some preliminary skirmishing on or near the disputed line. Upon a nice and delicate case like that of the Mesilla Valley question the im- prudence or recklessness of a solisary individual may light up the combustibles of a bloody war The late news from El Paso in this view is ominous. A conflict between a party of Ame- ricans and a guard of Mexican troops, with the lores of & manor two to the former, may per- haps require no very labored construction to denounce as the “ shedding of American blood upon American soil.” The affair is the more to deprecated from the inflamatory condition ot both parties near the disputed boundary. The Mexicans are outraged, and the Americans are indignant at their audacity and presump- tion, Worse than this, the American party. from Texas to Calffernia, are eager for another foray into the heart of Mexico; while the Mexi- excited to the highest piteh of Mexican patriotiem by the proclamations, edicts, de- crees, rewards and punishments. conteriptions (ments of Santa Anna are burning to avenge the divasters of 1846 and °47, In this state of things the immediate fear i¢ thet the late fracas near El Paso may di- reclly lead to a volunteer invasion and armed occupation by the Americans of the d dietrict, involving some bloody and serious work with the regular Mexican forces ifeuch a movement is commenced it will be extremely di(fenlt to stop it by instraytions or cans and en Boralad and we Trivune | negotiations iarwtascmunealener the spontaneous rising of the Texas rangers, or the California digts of prin- ciples, and their at several along’ the line into the territories of We shall wait therefore, with some anxiety for later and fuller intelligenée from El Paso. The Me- silla question is very like the Turkish question. In either the exchange of a shot or two may euffice to inaugurate a war which shall mark the most important epoch of the nineteeth century. There is yet some prospect that Gen. Gadsden may arrive in Mexico in season to restore quiet on her northern frontiers. Perhaps he may be too late. A few weeks will decide the question. As it is the balances are critically trembling between peace and war with Mexico. Cvpa axp THE CuoLeRa—Tae Stave TRADE axp British Emaxcrration.—The latest news received from Cuba represents the cholera as making the most fearful ravages among the slaves of the plantations. Some estates are reported as having loet halt their effective force in four_or five days, The disease appears to be almost entirely confined to the interior ; and among, the overworked, badly fed, and unaccli- mated Africans, is said to be more malignant and fatal than the cholera of ’32~’33. There is matter here for the humane consid- eration of our government. The lost slaves must be in some way supplied. The African slave traffic will not be sanctioned by England, and should not be allowed by us while our ex- isting treaty stipulations stand. We are bound to treat it as piracy. What then? England is reported, upon strong authority, to be nego- tiating through her agents for the introduction of her emancipation apprenticc&hip system into Cuba. The necessities of the planters may compe! the Spanish authorities to adopt the policy of England. We again commend the subject to the vigilant attention of Secretary Marcy. KINDERHOOK CARRIED BY THE Harp SHELLS. —The Albany Argus has the following con- cerning the appointment of democratic conv-n- tion delegates from the Kinderhook district of Columbia county, which embraces the residence of Martin Van Buren:— The following is a list of the del appointed, with power of Sobetitution:— spies To the State Convention—Josiah Sutherland, Jr. To the Judicial—Fdwin Hoes, To the Senatorial—H. A. Deniel D. Barnes, Jacch P. Miller, Peter F. Mesick, Chas. Whiting, Jacob 8. Bump, Elijah Castle, Chas. Hull and Ica Reynolds. These delegates are all of the national stamp—de- mocrats who stand upon the Baltimore Platform and the Inaugural Address, without ifs or ands or reser- vations of any kind—true men to their party, its prin- ciples and its candidates, under all umetances, and sound on all the State issues of the day. 4 But thee proceedings did not pass off without op- pugnation from the disorganizers of the free.soil Recipe. After participating in the proceedings of the convention as organized, and thus conceding its re- ularity as the democratic convention of the district, foese partizans got up a sbam convention under ano- ther organization, went through the mockery of appointing free-soil delegates to democratic conven- tions, to contest the seats of the rightful delegates. So much for the absence of Martin Van Buren in Europe. Oh! yes; we shall have a jolly time at Syracuse. Whats bless d thing it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! ‘Talk on Change. As the Paeific with later foreign news was due, there was less disposition to engage in business transactions to ary considerable extent. Only a few hundred bales of cotton were sold, without change in prices. Flour was a trifle better, and wheat was active, with sales in the sg” gregate of about €0,000 bnahels, chiefly Western and Gereree, about ore third of which was bought by the celebrated Croton Mills, of this eity. Owirg to the accounts received by several houses re- \ garding the prevalence and fatality of the cholera among the slaves on the ugar estates of Cubs, a speculative feel- ing in sugars sprung up om Saturday, and the sales reached about 2 0(0 # 2,10) hhds., varying in prices from 4c. a 43/c. per Ib, for common to fair, and 4%c. a 5 Ye. for fair to prime. The committee appointed by the Corn Exchange to make collections for the aid of the rick at New Orleans, composed cf Mesers. Isaac T. Frost, Ezra Ludlow, Jease Hoyt ard John Romer, it was said were meeting with success in the disebarge of their duties, having a!- ready collected about $1,500 up to Saturday afternoon. Tt was believed that from the confused account regard- ing the difficulty between Mexicans and Americens at El Paro, received by teleg:aph from New Orleans, tnat it was exaggerated, It wan probable the trouble originated on the Mexican side of the line; if so, the Americans had acted rashly in their violent attempt ata rescuc, As the United States troops, with the authorities ef New Mexico, were pear at hand, it was likely nothing serious would result. Amerchant stated that the Secretary of the Treasury bad caused varicus localities to be examined in and about Wall street as to their suitability for an Assay office, and to ascertain the terms apon which they could be pur chased. He was most (pleased with the building in Wali street next to the Custom House, occupied by the Bank of New York and the Bank of Commerce, for which he offer. ed $500,000, which was understood tobe their price. They refused it, and demanded $530,000, which the Secretary refused to give, and ordered an examination of other buildings. It was possible, however, according to ru- mor, tbat the bargain had been struck for the first baild- ing at $520.0C0. It was said that it was purchased by its present owners st about $200 000. It was preferred on account of its proximity to the Onstom House, which woul! allow of the extension of that building oastward, and at the same time afford all the necessary room for an Assay office, or Mint. In this point of view it wae an important purchase, as additional room for the Custom House was greatly needed. Marine Affairs. Lavycn or tise Steamsurp KNoxvitn —Mr. W. H.

ArreupT aT ScictpR—On Fridsy night, after having retived to bed, David Bush, a native of New Jersey, by trade a mason, residing in Bedford street, attempted to ecmmit suicide by cutting his throat with a razor. Af. ter baving ccmmitted the rash act he lay the whole night bleeding, nor was the occurrevce known before the fhext morning, when on entering his room he was disco- vered in a dreadful state, with severa) deep gashes about the throat. He was taken to the City Hospital, where the wounds were sewed up snd other attention paid to him, The man is now sevsible and can s although with some difficulty.

Yesterday afterncen a spsre looking German of gen- teel appearance, by thename of George Weber, stopping at French’s Hotel, came hurriedly into the pelice court atthe Tombs. His countenance dopicted alarm, and his deportment considerable agitation. He stated to Justice Bogart, in broken Engtish, ‘Dat his life ves in danger, and dat de vomans must be arrested.” ‘The curious appearance of the man, and the alarm- ing state of mind he exhibited, induced our reporter to ask the magistrate the causeof the poor man’s trouble, The Justice then laughingly handed us an affidavit drawn up by Weber’s lawyer, in which the complainant was made to swear to the following fact«:— George Weber sworn, says—That he resides at French’s Hotel; that on or about the 16th day of June, 1852, he met German woman at the corner of Broadway and Duane street; she was pretty good looking, about thirty years of age, and called herself Anna Opperman; that on that evenisg they entered into # social con trast, and agreed to cohabit together as long as they should mutually agree; that they #0 lived together from that time up to the lst of July Jast past, and during their last month’s residence together he found Anna to be ® very viclent and passionate tempered woman, baving on more than cne oecarion threatened to hill hia, or otherwise do hia severe bodily injury; that im consequence thersof he bas been compelled to wichdraw himself from ber sosiety snd seek repoce elsewhere; but in sodotng Auna refases to let him rest quietiy; rhe follows him about from ne Pps }, threatening to disfigure his faca by throw- g on 4 oil of vitriol uvlers he returns to her and agrees to maary her; the other day he was informed ‘at rhe bad purchased @ quantity of oil of vitriol ata drug store in Pearl street, under the pretence of killing bedbugs, but he teels positively certain that he i; the son she intends to destrey, and not bedbugs; she as frequently followed him into lager beer shops, where s number of gentlemen ; On one ceearion he her coming, ai wed to secre: hmeelf; abo with her at the time a dagzer or dirk five or six inebes in length, which he declared she would thrust into ceponent’s body He thezetore cousiders bia tife mm danger, and now seeks redress and protection from the police authorities, On this affidavit the magistrate issued his warrant for the arrest of the woman, who, it was aid could be fouad resi¢ing at No 44 Chariton street, bu‘ ap to thé closiag of the court last evening Avns had not been captured.
