The*number of deaths was 447, showing a decrease of 84 on the mortality of the previous week. Of these 56 were caused by con- wampticn, 31 by cholera infantum, 25 by diarrhoea, W by ¢ropsy in the head, 26 by dysentery, and 29 by marasmus. There were 12 cases of premature birth, 27 of stillborn, 7 of smallpox, and 2 of lockjaw. The @eaths ataong children under one yesr of age num- ered 146, and among children under tea years 284. Of the deceased 304 were natives of the Uni ted States, 83 of Ireland, 31 of Germany, and 14 of England. A despatch from New Orleans states that fright- fia) aecounts are reachiog that place of the ravages @f the yellow fever on the plantations and in the mall villages along the lake and river coasts’ Aid and assistance are being sent in all directions by the Howard Association. Only twenty-six persons were weported to have died of the fever in New Orlean$ @uring the twenty-four hours ending yesterday morn- img. The total number of deaths daring the week ‘was two hundred and forty-one. There were twenty- ‘two fatal cases of the epidemic at Mobile, on Friday. ‘This statement exhibits a great falling off in the mortality of the large cities, but let a0 person be @eceived into the supposition that the disease will disappear before the coming of frost. The decrease is altogether owing to a lack of unacclimated people for the scourge to seize upon. The report that Captain Tatnall had died of yel- ‘ow fever at Pensacola, is contradicted vy a New Orleans despatch. The Coroner's jury in the case‘of the collision on the Hudson River Railroad near Poughkeepsie, on ‘Thursday last, came to a verdict on Friday night at avery advanced hour. The verdict, which is very lengthy, will be given in extenso to-morrow. It spe- cifies no one in particular as being the cause of the @isaster, but blames Kelly, the engineer of the loco- Motive Ohio, for not ruunmg according w the regu- lations of the Company. Bad the rules been fol- lowed the sad calamity would not have occurred. The telegraphic synopsis of the evidence before the Coroner's jury, with regard to the fatal collision on the New York Central Railroad, lest Friday, shows conclusively the most culpable recklessness on the part of some of the employes of the road. The freight train—rules to the contrary notwithstanding —is reported to have been so close behind the passen ger cars that the latter had not time to leave the Oneida depot. In addition, the switchman at the Gepot is also charged with neglect of daty in having failed to exhibit the proper signal of waro'ng. The lives of two passengers were sacrificed by this cata trophe, and three or four otbers were so badly wounded that shou!d they survive they will be crip- ples for the remainder of their days. Let us hope that the judicial authorities will thoroughly investi. gate the circumstances connected with both this and the Hndeon River Railroad collision, and punish the guilty parties to the extent of the law. Hon. Victor Birdseye died suddenly on Friday night, at his residence in Wayne county, N Y., where he had resided for forty-six years. He had served two terms in Congress, and many years in the State Legislature, and was also a member of the Constitu- tional Convention in 1821. He was seventy-one years of age. Thongh divided upon principle, the hard and soft shells appear to be perfectly united on men, in some parts of the State. Mr. 8. C. Hitcheock, whom the havkers have nominated for State Senator in the Oawego district, ic claimed by both parties. Our files of Bahama papers reached us yesterday afternoon. They were brought by the Even Her- bert, Capt. Brown, from Nassau, N.P., and are to the 3d instant. We publish the most interesting items of their contents relative to American shio- ping, the calt raking at Inagua, the weather, and the comet. Mrs. Gregory, widow of the late colonial Governor, had lef; Nassau for Charleston, en route to England. Those desirous of being well posted up in current events on the other side of the Atlantic, cannot pro bably spend an hour more pleasantly and profitably than in perusing the letters we publish t>-day from Genoa, London and Paris. These documents em- brace a complete resume of the political, commer- cis], scientific, fashionable and gossiping news of the day, and stand out in curious contrast wich the movements of mankind in this progressive hemi. sphere. The letter from Genoa w'll be found parti cularly interesting to the lidies, it being a descrip: tion, bya fair Italian, of the great ball recently given on board the United Sta‘es frigate Cumber Jand while at Sp:zzia. The authoress seems to have been perfectly charmed with everythiag con Nected with the festivity, except the reflection that Many of the officers of the C. were married meo which was doubtless a source of regret to some of the belles who were present, Read the article from the London Advertiser, rela tive to American and Russian diplomacy.

Several families are reported to have ‘een ren. dered destitute by the buraing of a blo:k of dwellings in Phoenix, Oswego county, last Thursday.

The Collins steamship Arctic, with four days’ later European news, is due at this port to-day. Russlan Mevements in China—When Will Our Minister be Appointed t Our news from China affords an inexhaustible fund of matter for thought and speculation. What object had Nicholas in sending ships of war to Hong Kong? Whither are they destined? What instructions have been given to the com- mander of the fleet? Are they intended to sail to Japan? If so, will they co-operate with or oppore Commodore Perry ? Are they sent on a special mission to China?—to the imperialists or the rebels ? All these various queries are naturally sug- gested by the appearance of the Pallas and the Vostock in waters where Russia has no interests to watch over and no commerce to protect. Answers are readily offewed by writers on the spot and theorists in Europe ; but none appear to rest on such a basis of fact or even of proba- vility as to entitle them to implicit reliance. Whatever designs may be nurtured in the breast of the Russian government, those designs are as inscrutable to foreigners as the decrees of fate. Secresy is not less an invariable char- acteristic of Russian policy than ambition; and it would be a violation of the unswerving rule of Russian tactics to allow its intentions to be discovered before the moment of their execution had arrived. Still there are acts which force inferences on the most cautious mind. There are movements for which the most scrupulous observer cannot help imputing motives. Of such. to our thinking. is the ap- pearance of the Russian squadron at Hong Kong. It may have been despatched to that port for the fulfilment of some business with which we are entirely unconcerned. But it may, on the other hand, be entrusted with ne- gotiations either with the government of China or that of Japan; and if so, it is more than pro- bable that our interest will, in one way or other, be affected by the result. No alteration of the existing relations between the Asiatic Powers on the Pacific and any European State can be effected without influencing us; and if Russia contemplates either an intervention in the affairs of China. or a secret understanding with the Emperor of Japan, it is obvious that wé'should not be gainers by his snecess. So long, therefore, as the object of the squadron is enveloped in doubt, common prudence would require us to wateh its movements narrowly, and be prepared to counteract them if they contain aught that could militate against our uture prospects. Hence it is that in our opinion every faet throwing light on the position of Russia towards the eastern Asiatic Powers is of importance to us. The readers of the Heratp will not have for- gotten the attention we gave some months back tothe movements of Russian troops both in the uurth and in the wert uf Asia. Bands uf Russians have been pouring down the valleys of Turkis- tan for some time past. A large body is now assembled on the Sea of Aral and on the banks of the river Sir. Throughout Khiva, Bokhara Kokan, and the neighborhood, a strong feeling in favor of Russia has been aroused by inge- nious agencies; and the bulk of the semi-barba- rous tribes who inhebtc tose regions are quite prepared to embrace the Russian cause in the event ofa war. On the other side, an expedi- tion, fitted out it was said for the purpose of exploring, but counting some ten thousand men under its banners, was many months ago en- camped on the northern frontier of Mongolia at Kiakta. With what design these various movements have been made against Asia on its two most vulnerable points we are left to conjecture. They are certainly not intended for defence. At those poimts Russia is impreg- nable; and fears of attack, either from the Bok- hara, or the Mongolian tribes, would indeed be chimerical. They cannot but be regarded as menacing, both to the established governments of Asia and to those foreign Powers who have territory within its borders or trade with its inhabitants. It has been suggested that the Pallas carries anenvoy to the Emperor of China. who will offer to reinstate his Majesty, with the aid of the ten thousand men assembled at Kiakta. On what grounds this surmise rests we are unable to say. It is, in all probability, a mere baseless conjecture. But the design imputed to the Czar is by no means unlikely. It would be in close accordance with the leading features of his past policy; and he is in that position that he could dictate to China any conditions, or any price for the service, he chose to fix. Is not the danger grave enough to awaken the attention of our government? Should Rus- sia interfere in China, it is, beyond a doubt, first: that we should net be able to make such favor- able commercial arrangements with the restored Emperor as we should with a newly crowned usurper; and, secondly, that Russia would ac- quire a preponderance on the Pacific that would militate gravely against our interests, California and Oregon could not be {ndifferent to the establishment of a Russian protectorate over China Nor could the United States see the despotic principle strengthened by an ac- cession of nearly four hundred million of snb- jects to Russia without serious concern and apprehension. We do not say that such is the design of the Czar. But so long as that design is uncertain jt behooves us to be on our guard.

Caroline Norton, in the matter of the debts and the separation in con troversy between the disti guished poetess and will be found by all to be highly interesting By the ladic her notorious husband classes of our readers and satisiactory. especially will with which the writer maintains her innocence and her wrongs before the bar of public opinion. In poblishing the report of the late trial upon the prosecution of Mr. Norton, by certain Lon- don tradesmen, for their ‘little bills” against his wife, we took occasion to say that the case of the poor lady was clearly a case for the in- terposition of the Woman’s Rights Alliance as- sembled pt that time in thie city mpon the great basiness of redressing woman’s wrongs. “We appealed particularly to Miss Lucy Stone, and were answered by her prompt attention to the subject in her ‘speech before the Woman’s Rights Convention at the Tabernacle. Nothing more was done—but that was something. Now, we believe that if our woman’s rights women can read this letter of Mrs. Norton with- out resolving upon some scheme for the amelio- ration of the condition of the women of England, their professions of univergal sympathy with their sex are all moonshine. Let Miss Lucy Stone, the Rey. Antoinette L. Brown, Dr. Har- riet K. Hunt, and the universal sisterhood, turn their attention for a moment from the imagina- ry safferings in “ Uncle Tom's Cabin,” and from the highly exaggerated grievances of the weak- er gex in this country, to the glaring and bar- barous disabilities and restrictions upon wo men, (especially married women,) in England, as illustrated in the case of Mrs. Norton. Let our feminine reformers do this, and instead of joining in the libels of British abolitionists against our system of Southern slavery—instead of consorting with atheists and domestic traitors in anti-Bible, abolition, and vegetable conven- tions, they will be apt to consult the expediency of detailing missionaries to reclaim their sisters in England from their present worse than feu- dal degradation. If in a benevolent enter- prise like this we could get rid of a dozen of our leading woman’s rights abolitionists, and squash philosophers, male and female. it would be a great relief to society here, and would he fairly requiting John Bull for such emissaries as Madam Trollope. Fanny Wright. and George Thompson, independently of the good that might result in turning the attention of old John from the mote in his brother’s eye to the beam in his own. Seriously, however, this case of Mrs. Norton. as detailed in her earnest and convincing let- ter, discloses most graphically some of the many social inequalities and legalized oppres- sions which, inherited from the piratical Saxons and fillibustering Normans, exist in England to this day. Under the same circum- stances, between the parties, this narrative of Mrs. Norton would have been widely different on this side the Atlantic. Her allowances in such a case of’ separation would not have been left to the “honor” of Mr. Norton. Upon her complaint, in a positive and final divorce. they would have’ been fixed by law. But. according to the customs of England, there was nothing to hinder Mr. Norton, in the outset of this quar- rel. from leading his wife to the market-place, with a rope about her neck, and selling her at public auction to the highest bidder. What a field is there in England for missionary enter- prise in behalf of woman’s rights. Read the letter of Mrs. Norton. Mr. Dickinson anp THE WasHINGTON UN10n. —The article which we publish to-day from the Richmond (Va.) Enquirer, in the true spisit of Southern chivalry. vindicates Mr. Dickinson from the odium of free soilism which the Wash- ington Union lately attempted to fasten upon his well-earned national reputation. It needs no testimony from us, yet we are free in the attestation of his unqualified claim to the con- fidence of the South. In defence of her consti- tutional rights there was no balancing of expe- diencies and patriotism with Dickinson. He sacrificed himself, with his eyes open, upon the altar of the constitution. He did it with that courage and consistency which are without a paralle], in the whole catalogue of his service in Congress, of individual sacrifices for the public good. The ignominy which he suffered in his own State in the outset, from being so far in the advance of his party here, has been amply repaid him iu the savionaury of the po- pularity which he has thereby achieved. And he cannot be robbed of it for partisan or fac- tious purposes. He has earned it—nobly earned it. It is his, and cannot be taken away. The Washington Union, we fear, has com- mitted a fatal blunder in its attempt to har- monize the democrats at Syracuse by making a free soiler of Dickinson. Old Hudibras speaks of a gun which sometimes, although Well aimed at duck or plover, Recoils, and kicks its owner over. And this very gun the organ, (if it is the organ.) of Governor Marcy, in discharging it from the left shoulder. has not avoided the kick. A very@erratic organ is that Washing- ton Union. One day it eulogizes the govern- ment of Russia as a model affair of harmonious despotism; and the next day the Russian minister withdraws his patronage from the paper because of its wanton attacks upon his “august master.” It was but yesterday that it read the Evening Post out of the party, be- cause of ite free soilism; and to-day the Wu- tional Democrat is excommunicated for being too free the other day. We never had such an organ at Washington before. John Jones was asubject of common ridicule as the organ of Honest John Tyler; but the Union is rapidly winning the contempt of its own party. hards and softs, North and South.. It applauds Dix, attempts to blacken Dickinson, rails at the Al- bany Argus, and scolds the New York Heratp, with admirable flexibility and volubility; but we are afraid it won't do. The fact is, we must look to Mr. Tucker for the true organ, if we are to have an organ at Washington. Mr. Nicholson—known as the Mr. Nicholson to whom General Cass wrote the “Nicholson letter’—can hardly be the control ling head of the Union. Werather suspect that it is open to all sorts of opinions, from all sorts of democrats, so that they fill up the editorial columns at a venture. But if it is the organ of General Pierce, where is the administration? Yes, indeed, there is room in Washington for Mr. Tucker and a new democratic organ. In stumbling over Daniel S. Dickinson Mr. Nichol- son has missed it. The Nicholson letter won't save him. We are decidedly of the opinion that this is a great country, say what you will. There we stand, organ or no organ. Srreer Creanino Retrencument.—The bids for the cleaning of the streets were opened yes- terday, ond a Mr. Shaw offered to take the en- tire duty upon his hands of cleaniag all the streets—front streets and back streets, crove streets and side strects—for the sum of ninety thensand dollars per annum. The sum now paid is three hundred and thirty thonsand. or about three hundred thousand, deducting the sales of manure. If Mr. Shaw can save us the little item of two hundred thousand dollars in eleaning the streets it will be a snug little piece of retrenchment. But the first duty of our City Fathers, or step-fathers, as the case may be, is to provide without fail that the streets shall be cleaned. Retrenchment is next in or- der; and if reform and retrenchment in strect cleaning ean be made to go together, 80 much the better. Really, we begin to euspect that there is, comparatively speaking, a good time coming for tax payers, Hicuiy Important rrom Wa:nioten.—We bave reason to be!ieve that the question, “Who goes to France?” has been definitively settled by the President in the choice of Hon. John Y. Mason, of Virginia, Secre'ay cf the Navy under Mr. Polk’s administration. Respecting the abilities of Judge Mason for the duties of this appointment, (excepting French, perhaps,) we presume there will be little difference of opinion anywhere; and that his selection will be a satisfactory peace offering to the Virginian democracy we have no doubt. But there is New York side to this picture; and whether the disappointment of Gen. Dix be real or imagi- nary, in the event of his losing this mission to Paris, there will certainly be some feeling on the subject among the soft shells. But weshall see—mark that—we shall see. We have reason, also, to suspect that the in- tended project on the part of Col. Forney, ot a new democratic organ in this city, has, since the Syracuse Conventions, been indefinitely post- poned. This leaves the field open for the three democratic organs we have already, such as they are. Sowe go. Let Mr. Tucker. at Washing- ton, however, hold fast. We must have another organ or two at Washington, any how. City Intelligence, Faery Trarric—The growth of the Hamilton aveaue side of Brooklyn msy be judged from the number of new streets and new rows of houses in old streets, that have sprung up within the last twelve months, and from the im: mense trafficon thatferry.

Actinc WarvEN oF THE Crry Prison.—A difference of opinion appears to ari-e rince the desth of Mr. Edmonds, ip reference to the Actirg Warden of the city prison. As there seems to be t+0 candidates.
