The News. ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC. The Atlantic arrived yesterday, with four days deter vews from Europe. She also brought some additional intelligence from China and Japan. The advices from Europe are not decisive in their charac- ter, but the movements on both banks of the Dan- ube indicate that an important battle would be fought at Silistria towards the close.of this month. No striking event had occurred on either the Baltic or Black Seas. The-news from China is important, so far as our commercial interests are concerned. The signal -punishment the imperialists received from the Anglo-American forees will be of vast benefit to the. merchants at Shanghae , Foo Choo-Foo, Amoy, Hong Kong, &c. It will convince the Chinese of the ne- cessity of respecting the rights of foreigners. The affair at Shanghae, however, was attended with some painful results—in the killed and injured. Mr. Griswold Gray, who was so seriously wounded while galiantly loading the howitzers, is a native of this.city, aud has been but a short time a resident ofSbanghae. Our Consul at that place, R. C. Mur- phy, Esq., and the officers of the Plymonth, indeed allengaged in the attack on the imperialists, behaved ‘nobly, and decerve weil of their country. We refer the public to the interesting details of the affair published in another part of the paper. An interesting account of the Japanese expedi- ‘tion, from our own correspondents, will be found in another part of this morning’s Heraup. They give @ full description of the landing of Commodore Per- ry, and the interview which took place between hhim and the Japanese officials. From what they have seen of the condition of the people and the military resources of that country, it would appear that all accounta that have been published about it heretofore have been greatly exaggerated. Our file of the Singapore Bi-monthly Circular dated on April 29th has been received. The im- ports of gold and gold dust during a fortnight end- ing ov that day amounted to one thousand and 4wenty-five bnncals, received from the Archipelago. “The reported rates were—for Australia, $29 to $29 25 per buncal for bars, and $28 to $28 50 per buncal for dust. The exports, as above, amounted to six hundred and sixty-one buncals. COMMERCIAL AFFAIRS. The commercial advices brought by the Atlantic exhibit a slight decline in cotton, corn and wheat. Flour was again dull in our market on Saturday, and all infericr grades ruled in favor of purchaserr. Common State sold at ¢7 25 a $7 50, and common Canadian sold at $7 25. Another parcel of 500 bushels new South Carolina red wheat sold at $1 90. Prime white Canadian sold at $2,in bond. Corn ‘wes unchanged. Prime Southern white, which was scarce, sold at 90c., 2nd mixed brought 81c. a 844c. Freights to Liverpool were stiff at 1s, 9d. for flour, and 5}d. a Gd. for grain. There was a good @emand for guano vessels, and as many 23 twelve vessels, it was enid, were e ngaged the past week, to Proceed to the Chincha Islands in ballast and re- 4um with guano, at $30 per ton. CITY AFFAIRS. ‘The services in connection with the ordination of Mr. C. F. Martin, under appointment as missionary to the Copts, in Egypt, took place last evening, at the Church of the Puritans, in the presence of a large congregation. A sketch of these interesting Proceedings will be found in another column. Yesterday the itinerant preachers were allowed to Proceed in their exhortations without molestation. ‘Meetings were held in the Park and in Washington Parade Ground, but not the slightest manifestation of disorder was apparent. In Brooklyn the day passed off without any disturbance of the quietade of the Sabbath. Dr. Jas. R. Wood is a prominent whig candidate for Governor of the Almehouse of this city. MISCELLANEOUS. The steamship Prometheus arrived last night from Punta Arenas, bringing between five and six hundred passengers and a million and a half in treasure from California. The past few weeks have proved prolific of pub- dic addresses. Not among the least important is that to be issued by the Whig State Central Com- mittee of Massachusetts, Which shows the drift of one fragment of that party at the North. Follow- ing the lead of the Seward presses in this city, the rallying cry of the repeal of the law obliterating all sectional distinctions among our people is pro- minently put forward, coupled with the express declaration of an intention to continue the fax!ions and disorganizing agitation against one portion of the confederacy which has already brought the Union to the verge of dissolution. A brief synop- sis of the address is given under the telegraphic head. To-day it is expected that the ten million bill will be taken up inthe House of Representatives, and Mr. Benton, unless he is ent off by the previous question, will no doubt deliver one of the most in teresting speeches that ever fell from hislipe, Th proceed/ngs in Congress during the coming week will be very important. A boat, wth six men clinging to her bottom, wa discovered im the Delaware river yesterday. The men were rescne,.' by the captain of the steamer Star, at great risk. On Saturday the Know Nothings and whigs of Norfolk, Va., sueceedeo in electing their enrire treket for municipal officorse There were twelve cases of gholera. in Philade’- yp! a last week, _ prodigious slinghter of the latter occurred. ee ne Baa The News by the Atlant! . | vante in hotels and restaurants; and ff the Al- | Those who xpec ed tohear y the Atlantic | bany female politicians had their way about sll that Silistria's fae waa deckl d hive again been disapp inte.

All that we know for a certaiaty is that Silistria is still besieged, and that the allied troops are as idle as they were. Inastivity, in fact, seems to be the ruling characteristic of the Anglo-French tactics. {& was not worth while cavilling qt the time ‘lost by St. Arnaud and Raglan in France, if it matters on this sublanary sphere, everything | would be under pe ticoat government. The novelty might be r freshing, but the exper4- ment would be dangerous. Excursions anp PiEasurm Parties:—THe Summer AMUsEMENTS oF OR PEOPLE.-—Now is the time par excellence for xcursiorg and pic- nic parties, Thousands of our citizens anxious to escape for a rief perio , at least, from the bustle and tarmoil of city life, are making their preparations for a viait to the most inviting sum- wer retreats. The m rcbant forgets for a while was intended that they should de so little when'they reached the scene of action. Nor docs it matter much how Sir Charles Napier’s fleet ts equipped, if he purposes to spend the summer in cruising amiably off Sveaborg. Sanguine people at Paris and Londen predict that we shall hear of something decisive to- werds the close of June. If the allied herse and artillery were pushed forward with vigor, some important action might very possibly oc- ~our about that ¢ime. A decisive battle feught under the walls of Silistria might terminate the war. The superstitious will remem ber with interest how many great battles have taken place in the latter weeks of June. The fate of Scotland was decided by the battle of Bannockburn on 25th June. The ruin of Charles I. of England was consummated :at Naseby on 14th June, The affair of Buoker Hill took place on 17th, and greatly influenced the issue of our struggle for independence. The battle of Monmouth was on the 28th. Ou 14th June, the ‘fate of Italy was decided at Marengo, and on 2ist the power of Austria avas crushed for many a year at Ulm. Spain was released from the Bonapartes at Vittoria on the same day of June, thirteen years after- wards. Finally, the fate of Napoleon and of Europe was solved at Waterloo on 18th June- ‘The world expects that this present June will decide that, of Turkey. Meanwhile diplomacy pursues its tortuous course. Arumor to the effect that the Czar had refused to accede to the terms proposed by Austria with reference to the principalities, seems to have induced Frederic William ot Prussia to pay a hasty personal visit to the young Emperor of Austria. The meeting took place at Tetschen on the Austrian frontier, and both monarchs were accompanied by their foreign ministers. We have no intimation of the result of the conference. It is surmised that the King of Prussia was fearful of an actnal junction between Austria and the Western Powers, and took the step in the iu- terest of the Czar; but whether, if this was his real motive, he has succeeded in shaking the alleged purpose of Francis Joseph we have yet to learn. It is certain that the head quarters of the Russian army are being removed from Wallachia into Molda- via; a movement which would seem to indicate an apprehension of Austrian hostility on the part of the Czar. But this, and every other item of news which comes to usin the British papers, are so obviously interpreted ac- cording to the wishes of the journalists, that the references which are drawn from them 1ust be received with caution. The war, no doubt, is affecting Austrian commercial interests most in- juriously; and the expense to which the gov- ernment of the emperor is put for the mainte- nance of a large standing army would be likely te induce him to desire to terminate the neces-* sity for that burthen as soon as possible. But, on the other hand, there are so many dynastic and family obstacles in the way of a friendly concert of action between Austria and the West- ern Powers, and the young Emperor has evinced such manifest reluctance to assume a position of open hostility against the Czar, that we sught to wait for some less equivocal signs before we venture to conclude that Austria and Russia have ceased to be private friends. From Great Britain the news is unimportant. The recent ministerial changes have been weil received. The aspect of commercial affairs is on the whole more satisfactory than it has been for some time past. The funds have long ceased to be any guide, in consequence of the over- speculation to which the war gave rise. But the absence of any, material movement in the great commercial staples, and the increase of bullion in the Bank of England, will impart confidence to the market. The opening of the new Crystal Palace, which took place on the 10th, was a magnificent affair, and does not in- | dicate any popular suffering or discontent in consequence of the war. The news from China, containing an account of the attack of the British and Americans on the imperialist camp, will be read with inter- est. It will be noticed that the movement does not amount to an espousal of the imperialist cause by the foreigners. The outrages which they took arms to avenge were not committed under orders from the imperialist chiefs, and appear to have arisen in consequence of the lack of discipline among their troops, Women’s Riauts Again.—We have received a long circular, accompanied with a note, from Susan B. Anthony, requesting us to print the same in ‘the daily and weekly Heraxp, and oblige the cause of humanity.” At this time, the claims of that portion of humanity known as male politicians have a superior claim on our space, but bye-and-bye the women will un- doubtedly come up to the top of the heap. The circular states that the Albany Women’s Rights Convention, held last February, have resolved to petition the State Legislature every year until woman’s rights are acknowledged. These “rights” thus ¢laimed are expressed in copies of two petitions—one praying “the Se- nate and Assembly of the State of New York to appoint a joint committee of both honses, to revise the statutes of New York, and to propose such amendments as will fully establish the Jegal equality of women with men,” and the other “earnestly requesting the Legislature o New York to propose to the people of th: State such amendments of the constitation of the State as will secure to females au equa right to the elective franchise with males.” The circular recommends every body to sig these petitions, and also to buy and read Mrs ——'s “admirable address” on the same suly ject—‘two dollars per hundred.” The commit tee have also on hand a large number of sim lar documents, which may be had at low price This appears to be the essence of the whol affair, and we cheerfully give this space for th “cause of female humanity,” which, by the way in getting along very well by itself, We have. semale ¢lerke, fomale type-setters, female sor with his family to some of the less pretentious forth -their charms in vain for him. the glew of health lights up the face of the in- present. People of all ages, sexes, and conditions Lakes George, Mahopac and the numerous re the metropolis. nock House, in Stonington, Ct. have been already got up, or that are in con- templation. Steamboats have been chartered to convey whole schools of delighted boys and girls to Biddle’s Grove, and other well-known the metropolis. But among all the notices which we have seen we could not find one in which the venerable name of Communipaw was mentioned. Why is it that this historic spot has been overlooked? Why has that~ ancient Republic—the mother of the empire State— heen forgotten by the seekers of pleasure? Is it because the scenery is less beautiful, or the air less pure; or is it because its very name and locality have vanished from the memory of almost every body but that of the “oldest inha- bitant?” The palmy days of the city of our wortby Dutch forefathers, it is true, have pas- sed away, and it is eclipsed by the shadow of the great metropolis; but we thought there was sufficient reverence for the past even in the minds of the fast men of the pre- sentage, toinduce them to visit, oncea year at least, the scenes where their slow and phiegma- tic ancestors “kept the noiseless tenor of their way.” We are satisfied that if this really beau- tiful and retired spot were better known to excursionists, it would become one of the most popular of summer retreats. For those who wou’ 1 ehun the glare of the so-called fashionable re- treats, we know of no place which presents more inducements than Commuvipaw. The houses, some of which are about a hundred years uid, are built in the most primitive style, and arein every way adapted for those who love retire- ment. In addition to all these recommenda- tions, there is one which should not be over- locked—its oysters are among the best found in the waters of New York. There are other places around the city for which we would say a good word had we time and space, but what we have already said must suffice. Among the ex- cursions of which we have heard there is one particularly deserving of mention. A par- ty of from fifteen to twenty gentlemen will start in about a fortnight for the wild and ro- mantic regions in the vicinity of Lake George, where they propose spending a weck, affer the most simple and approved manner of the hunt- er’s life. Here, amid the untamed beauties aad wildness of nature, where man has not yet broken the virgin soil with the implements of agriculture, where the bear and the deer roam through the unbroken forest, where the air abounds with the choicest feathered game, and the waters teem with the best varieties of the finny tribe—here they will pitch their tents, and luxuriate in all the delights which such a life affords. Shut out from the world, its cares and anxieties, they will erjoy themselves under “the greenwood tree” with all the zest ef true hunters. While their powder lasts, and their fishing tackle holds good, and while bright skies smile upon them, they necd not fear any interrup- tion to their pleasures either by field or flood. Preparations are making, we understand, in the different towns and villages along the route to their place of encampment, for their reception; and when they arrive there they will be received by one of the most re- spected residents of that part of the coun- try, whose guests they will be during their stay. They have alreafly engaged the ser- vices of an old trapper and hunter, who is acquainted with all that part of the country, aud who, we are told, is a second Leather Stocking in the hunting line. We wish our friends all the success which they themselves could desire, and hope they will all return to the busy scenes of every day life with renewed strength for the performance of its duties and requirements. The next excursion we notice is that of the Binninger Guard to Montreal in August next This promises to be one of the finest excursioas ever enjoyed by any of our military companies, and will give our Canadian friends @ pretty clear idea of the character of our citizen sol in the anticipations of rural pleasures the cares of business; the dawyer binishesfrom his mind “his quiddits, sis quillets, bis cases, his te- nures and his tricks,” and resigoshimself to the fut en oyment of the beauties of the country ; the ‘mechanic, too, leaves his bench and workshop, ‘if his limited means will permit, and hastens summer resorts—for Saratoga and Newport hold Old age throws 'by its crutch, and becomes young again; valid as he breathes the pure and invigorating air, fragrant with the incense of flowers ; the student gladly takes leave of Homer, Virgil, Sophocles, and a host of ancient friends, and forgets the past in the pleasures of the who have the wherewithal to do so are prepar- ing for an excursion into the country. The palatial mansions on the Fifth avenue and the unpretending residences of the more substan- tial middle clazses are given up to dust and silence, while their owners are enjoying them- selves at the aristocratic watering places, or the subdued, but more attractive retreats of sorts to be found within a few hours journey of The hotels also, which are always full to overflowing during the winter and spring, are beginning to feel the effects of this revolution in the reduced list of names on their registers, and in their diminished profits. But, after all, it is only a transfer of their board- ers to the country hotels, which in summer offer superior inducements to avy that can be found in the city. By our advertising columns, we find that the following have been opened and are ready to extend a cordial welcome to all who may desire to patronise them :—The De- groot Mansion, at Keyport, N. J.; Mount Ver- non Hotel, half an hour’s ride from New York by the New Haven Railroad; the New York Bay Hotel, two miles and a half from Jersey City; the Pequot House, New London, Ct.; the Port Ewen Hotel, near Rondout; the Ocean House, at Shrewsbury, N. J.; Trenton Falls Hotel, near Utica, N. Y.; and the Wadawan- It would be almost impossible to enumerate the various excursions and pic-nic parties that and popular pleasure grounds in the vicinity of die'-y, The company numbers about a hundred Yauekets, an} will be accomp nied by a mili- tary band of twenty-five musicians. Besides te great celebration of the na- tion’s birthday ia t year at Portsmouth, we are re.inded of the magnificent festival of the 3d of August, at Plymouth, Mass., in commemo- Delft Haven, in Holland. Then our readers will remember the visit which the Chicago fire- men mad», about twelve months ago, to this city, and that of the Boston L' ght Guard about six months since---a visit which was quite re- cently returned by our own Light Guard. In addition to these, we might mention a large number of excursions made by our firemen and military companies to all parts of the country, and the fact that the Continentals of this city are at present enjoying the hospitalities of the Boston Veteran Association. Last year the Corporation and citizens of Portsmouth, N. H., extended an invitation to the sons of that ancient city to visit their birth- place on the Fourth of July, and in compliance therewith over a thousand returned to the homes of their childhood, and celebrated the day in a manner that showed the ardor of their early youth had not been dulled by contact with material interests. This year, the cor- poration and citizens of Newburyport, N. H., following the example of Portsmouth, have in- vited all their absent brothers to return and celebrate the national festival with them. A large number, we understand, will leave this city for the purpose, and there will be also nu- merous delegations from Boston and other places in the vicinity. There are other excursions of which the pr es takes no note, but which are not therefore less pleasing to the parties concerned—we mean these got up by ardent lovers, who seek in syl- van shades a fitting place for that sweet con- verse which only lovers can hold, but at which the cold, unsentimental, money-making world laughs. And yet this is an important part in the play of life, affect as we may to turn it in- to ridicule. Let lovers have their excursions, too, in their own way, and the student, the merchant, and the mechanic theirs—let all en- joy to their utmost the healthful pleasures of the country. This is the season when nature putson her most alluring charms, to entice men from the dust and din of city life, and none whohave the means should refuse the invitations which she extends to all. “God,” says ® popular poet, “made the country, and man made the town’—and who is there that would prefer the work of the created to that of the Creator. Let excursions be multiplied, for they tend to bind more closely the ties of fel- lowship among our people, Who says that the Union is near its dissolution, while we have such evidences of fraternity and good feeling among our citizens? Let abolitionists rant aad rail, and plot and intrigue—what care we while we have such substantial proofs of the brother- hood that prevails throughout our favored land. Tae CHouera aND THE STREETS—With the possibility, we may say the strong probability, before us that we are about to suffer once more from the ravages of cholera, it becomes our duty to warn the authorities again and again of the danger and criminality of delay in hav- ing the streets of the city thoroughly cleansed. We muet reiterate these warnings unti) the evil of which we complain has been entirely re- moved; nor shall we fail to remind those who can thus trifle with human life, that every hour they neglect to perform their duty will be the means of adding so much the more venom to the pestilence, when it has once commenced its work of death. As yet, the cholera is only hovering about, snatching up occasional vic- tims. But this—to judge from a past and frightful experience—tells too truly of what we must expect. It is true that a decrease of twelve deaths during the last week has left us a hope—we trust it is a well grounded one-- that by thoroughly cleansing the city, we may yet be saved from the disease in its epidemic form. We are glad to see from the following notice, that the authorities are beginning to find out that a great danger is threatening us. It was issued on Saturday from the Mayor’s office:— ‘The Mayor and the Commissioners of Health, in view of the possibility that the cholera may beooms an opf- fone have taken possession of the uilding No. 105 Franklin street, and are prepared to receive patients. Unis step we deem proper as a precautionary measure, although we are huppy. to state that the decrease in the number of cases this week is a favorable omen, and the disease is confined to no locality.

MILLER, M-D., Health Commissioner. THOMAS K. DOWNING, City Inspector. Commissioners of Health. The Mayor has also issued a circular to the Captains of Police, requiring a strict and imme- diate compliance with the following general order, on pain of dismissal from office :— ‘ Avovst 15, 1853. If garbage, offal, filth, dirt, manure, cinders, ashes, shelis, rubbish, or any substance that is’ detrimental to the public health, be found in any of the public streets, Janes or alleys, contrary to law, and the person or per- sons who placed sid garbage, &., as above meationed, shall not have been arrested or reported by the sergeant or policeman whose duty it is to arrest or report said r80n Or persons, and the said sergeant or policeman deamed guiliy of soglast ot duty’ Byori jeomn eo uty. By order, ibinetd JACOB WESTERVELT, Mayor, G. W. Matsutt, Chief of Police. So far so good. But itis one thing to pro- mulgate a law and another to enforce that entire obedience to its provisions which must abso- lutely be done in the present case. It remains now for the authorities to see that this and other similar orders be carried out, and that no mercy is shown to those who wilfully neglect or refuse to obey them. City Antelligence. Fine ms Corry Steeer.—Last evening, between fives @ 8ix o’clock, a fire was discovered on the premises owneu by Vanderpool, Smith & @o., mahogany dealors, No. 28 Cherry street. The fire originated in a stable, from which it spread to the sand paper factory and mahogany ve- neers; also the cedar cooper’s shop of Mr. John Diifen- dale, who received some damage to his stock, which is uninsured. The inside of the stable was consumed, and two horses perished in the flames. One belonged to Mr. Sharkey, and the other to Mr. Meyers. The damage donc to Mr. Vanderpool’s property is fully covered by insur- ance—$600 in the Georgia Fire and Banking Company, and $5,000 in the Kagle Fire Insurance Company, of this city, the latter company, however, will meet no loss, as the fire did not reach the building on which they insur- ed. The loss by fire is estimated at about $4,000, Axornen Fin.—Yesterday morning, about 8 o'clock, fre broke out in the hat store of Charles Chadeayne, 13 avenue D. The firc originated in the store, and under very suspicious circumstances, as the proprietor made examination when be left the store at night, and there was no fire on the premises. Before the firemen could quench the flames most of the stock of hats was lost, the builiing much damaged. ‘The entire lors is be- on five end six thousand dollars. Tho stock was par- Waliy insureds ‘The building was owned by Jacob Miller, and was fully covered by insurance. The most strange incident of this affair is, t while Mr. Chadcayne, who resived over bis store, wi gazed in rescuing his fami- ly from the burning building, his pocketbook, containing 9450, and a gold watch and chain unaer his pillor, e stolen. and the pocketbook afterwards found npoa the roof rifled of its contents.

His programme, which appears in our advertising columns, gives a full list of his company and some judicious remarks to the public. The artistea, with the exceptons of Signora Bertuoce Maretzek, Signor Marini and Signor Colletti, are new to us, but we have no doubt they will moet with cordial reception ana succeed according to their merits. A New York operatic avdience is just and generous at the same time. Mr. Maretzk basa strong company, and, as he saya, he means to deserve success if not command it. ‘The theatres which are open continue to be very well patronired, all things, an@ especially the hot weather, considered. The principal theatrical event of the past week was the closing of Mr. Wallack’s theatre, which event took place last Monday evening. Mr. Wallack played Don Felix in ‘the Wonder,” to a brilliant house, and afterwards addressed the audience as follows :— ‘Lapies axp GentLEMEr—It is searoely my province to make 6 es, on my own account at least, but an oc- casion like this is perhaps a fitting one for a personal expression of the objects which it vas been my effort to attain, in conducting the theatre honored to-night prerence of so many indulgent friends, as your kind ap- probation a fro hint sary Ea _ es o _ ‘hat the re; action vliog works, wi watists Pigppcoems howl and eminent talent, could not fail to please the taste of an inteligent American au- dience, aud srsured that, while plays of the stamp de- scribed hit at the follies, yet fortray the dner sentiments of the human heart, amid varle a meres tale viduel combinations we represent upom ey instruct, rene and-elavate, with greater resdLtess and more enduring effect than ephemeral and less complete productions arsanged ia ha‘ and oply suited to the fashion of the moment, I have endeavored to revive va there boards the very best selections trom the dramatic rejository.

In coa- clusion, ladies and gentlemen, in behalf of my col on all, and the employés of this theatre, as for myself, I tender you my sincerest thanks. Mr. La Manna, leader of the orchestra, had a fine benefit on Wednesday, at Wallack’s. The Rousset sis- tera, and Senorita Soto appeared on this occasion, and ther was quite an amusing contest between parties of their admirers in the matter of doves, bouquets, and otber delicate demonstratives uf approval. Wallack’s theatre will open pretty early next season, with nearly the same company, An addition is rumored to the female force, in the person of 8 youthful, beautiful and talented English comedienne.——At the Broadway theatre, Mr. and Mrs. B, Williams have been playing to fair Fourth avenue, ef ll, and was taken up insensivle aad varritd to the Kellevue Hospital, when it was discovered he bad sustained a severe fracture of the skull. He lies at the Hospital with scarcely a hope of his seouvery, houses. A new piece, called “The Irish Yankee,’ was produced on Monday, but was not very successful. It isia the ueual style of national dramas—all glory and patri- otiem, with spouting generals on the most familiar terms with everybody, and especially with the hero of the piece, an Irishman, who does impossible things for the liberal cause.
