MOBTATITY OF THE CITY. According to the official report of the City Inspec- tor there were 1,139 deaths in the city during the week ending 20th inst. Of the total number 617 were under ten years of age, and 184 inmates of the various penal and charitable institutions—75 on Ward's Ieland. The cholera has increased some- what, 241 being the number of victims for the week. Cholera morbus carried off 26, diarrhwa 75,and dy- pentery 42. Apoplexy claimed 20—a larger number han we ever recollect to have seen recorded before im the same period of time. There were 60 deaths af consumption; 13 of debility; 10 of inflammation of ‘the bowels; 8 of inflammation of lungs; 31 of maras- aus; 36 of congestion of the braim; 37 of dropsy in ‘Se head; 17 of effectaa@f the heat; 22 of sun stroke; Al of inflammation of the brain; 5 of delirium tre- mens; 2 of intemperance. Of diseases incidental $e children there were 135 of cholera infantum; 106 of cenvulsions; 9 of croup; 6 of hooping cough; 18 ef teething, and 6 of measels. There were 12 pre- mature births, and 32 cases of stillborn reported. Phe deat from external causes were 24 follows Burned, If casualties, 4; drowned, 4; and snici: 1. Of the total number of deaths 673 were no: ef the United States; 24) of Ireland; ilt o - many, and the balance of other countries. There were 90 deaths in the Fifth ward—the cholera hos pital is located in this.ward; 93 in the Seventeenth ward; and 97 in the Twelfth ward—the highest momber in any wer TERRIBLE CALAMITY. In another column may be found a (ull account of a terrible casualty which ovcurred yesterday afternoon at the gas works of this city. By the falling in of the roof of a building in process of erection three men were killed and thirteen dau- gerously wounded. Nothing of a similar character has taken place in this city for some time, and the exaggerated reports of the disaster created an alarming sensation throughout the commnnity yes- terday. PROM WASHINGTON. In the Senate yesterday the bill relative to the accommodations for the federal courts was further amended and returned to the House. The Senate refased to concur in the House amendment to the Dill, authorizing the Washington and Alexandria | Railroad Company to extend their road, which al Bows the Baltimore fand Ohio road certain privi- Jeges. The bill refanding to Colonel Fremont $123,000, with ten per cent interest from 1850, for beef furnished to California Indians, was passed. A number of private bills were passed. The con- sideration of the River and Harbor bill was rosum- ed, the point under discussion be ing the amendment to the provision authorizing the Secretary to sas- pend appropriations in certain cases. We have heretofore alluded to this matter, and it is, thore- fore, unnecessary to refer more fully to.itnow. The amendment was rejected by a very decisive vote-— fourteen to thirty-five. Various amendments were proposed and voted down, and the Senate adjouraed. ‘+ © There seems to be but little hope of the bill receiv * ‘ing the sanction of the Executive. In the House several members stated that had ‘they been present on Friday they should have voted in the negative on the motion to suspend the rules ‘to allow the introduction of a bill te repeal the Fu- gitive Slave law. A mistake occurred in our report ‘of this matter in yesterday's paper. The motion was stated to have been made by Mr, Elliott, of Kentucky ~it was brought forward by Mr. t, of Massachusetts. In committee the bill making ap- * propriations for transporting the mails by ocean steamers, or otherwise, for the year ending June 30, 3855, was taken op. The section appropriating $858,000 for the transportation of the mails from ‘New York to Liverpool having been read, an oni- mated debate arose on the merits of the Collins steamers. An amendment, fixing the Jist of De ember next as the time for the Secretary of the Navy to give notice of the termination of the ar- stitigement for the additional allowance to the Col- Tins liné, was adopted by a vote of cighty-two to aixty ones Subsequently the amendment was on- ourred in, and the bill passed.

Common to good brands of State flour were again | firmer yesterday, and closed at an atvance of 12}c. & 6c. per barrel. Prime samples of corn were also higher by one or two centa per bushel. Wheat was also firm. The first cargo of new Delaware red wheat (2,500 bushels) was received yesterday by B. N- Fox & Co., and washeld st $2 per bushel. There was no further changes in quotations for cotton, which sold only to moderate extent. Democratic and Feudal Institations—Thetr Vakac and Results. } We publish to-day, from the last number of | the Edinburgh Review, one of the ablest writ- | ten analysis of European emigration to this country that has as yet fallen under our obser- vation, It is evidently penued by a man who has thoroughly studied his subject, and who has sueceeded in divesting his mind of many of the narrow prejudices that in general influence European writers when treating of this coun- resemblanc: to those Of xe, Orawford of Gal- phin men ory. “a The House dissolved, and writs ised, the canvas ¢ mmenced. The issues involved were very sim e. The ministry stood on its bare merite, Hincks claimed the credit of raising the price of Canadian securities abroad, of in- creasing te) rovincia! revenue, of prosecuting the Reciprocity Treaty, of setting the Grand Trunk Railway on foot, and of managing the | general affairs of the province in a successful way. ‘The opposition took the field on a most elaborate platform, They asserted in the first place that the ministry was corrupt. In support of this, they charged that Hincks had made use of his position to speculate, and had, in fact, made $40 000 by using his influence to have a law passed to regulate the debentures of the city of Toronto, They alleged a variety of similar corrupt acts against his colleagues, but, to our thinking, failed to establish them. Secondly, they said that the ministry did not intend to secularize the clergy reserves, as they try. He demonstrates the error of the pre. yailing notion that the materials of which the emigration to the United States is composed are in general of a description that adds but slowly to the moral influence and. material progress of our people. He shows, on the contrary, that, not only in bone and sinew— themselves elements of immediate wealth, but in positive additions to the present money ca- pital of the country, the tide of Earopean emi- gration that has set in towarda our shores constitutes one of the main elements of our prosperity. It isnot in general the idle, the dissolute and the penniless that seek to better heir fortunes by emigration to the United States. They belong rather to those classes that have something to lose, ig the shape either of labor or of capital, in the hopeless and des- perate competition to which redundancy of population and other causes have brought mat- ters athome. They constitute, in fact, the ele- ments of which powerfal nations are composed ; and although they may not at once succeed in assimilating with a population new to them in habits, ideas, and political training, they in time fall naturally into their place, and help to strengében and enrich the community by which they are adopted. But there is another class, of whom the re- viewer makes no mention, who have some claim to honorable notice in an analysis of the mate- rials of which European emigration is composed. We have continually arriving upon our shores eadeis of the noble families that trate their ori- gin back to the Norman conquest, and not un- frequently, too, oven the titled heads of horses that were represented in the wars of the Guelphs and the Ghibellines, or in the early strug- gles for dominaney amongst the Sclavonic races, Many a proud name that has left its mark upon the page of history, and which would still command respect among the most aristocratic circles of Europe, is destined to die out unknown and forgotten amongst the swamps of Louisiana, the everglades of Florida, or the prairies of the far West. Their owners have, woder some more modest and less preten- tious appellation, probably done more in their bumble way to adyance the work of progress and hnmanity than was ever effected by the swords of their forefathers. We should, in all probability, never hear of them at all but for oceasional inquiries afier lost heirs, eaused by the dying out of elder branches, or the sudden tion by some political revolution to his a] country sad honors, of some homesick agged on amdngus’an obscur exile, wh and pr We have been led to these reflections by ob- English paper, the statement that the Queen has given permission to introduce a bill reversing the attainder ef the Lovat peer- oge. Most of oar readers are no doubt aw: that the title was forfeited by Simon Fra twelfth Lord Lovat, who was beheaded on j Tower Hill, for the part which he took in the rebellion of 1745. Thomas Alexan- ‘der Fraser, recoguized as the twenty-first chief snecession irom Simon Fraser, Tnvernesshire, and descended through the Strichen family, from Alexander, the sixth Jord, obtained, in 1837, the restoration of the title in his person, by new ereation. Should ihe bill reversing the attainder pass, he would } stand as the thirieenth, instead of the tirst, ba- ron—thatis to say, provided no other claimant chould step in to defoat his pretensions, Now itso happens, noless we are greatly misiu- formed, that there is at present existing in this country the lineal descendant of a branch se- nior to that of the present lord, and who, eor- | sequently, would, in the event of the reversal of the attainder, be entitled to the benefit of this act of grace on the part of the crown, There would, in that case, be two Lord Lovats: unless, indeed, the Yankee lord should, from the notions of republican simplicity imbibod with his mother’s milk, disdain such an incoa- \nient handle to his name, Our lives on it, the rough Arkansas farmer (for such we nn- derstand him to be) would not exchange the free, manly and independent pesition which he holds, for the gilded slavery of feudal privi- leges and the conventional fetters and restraints of European society. There can he no more gratifying tribate to the inherent value and soundness of our insti- tutions than the fact thag we have amongst ns many rightful heirs to British peerages, who prefer the individual independence and ‘r-o- dom of thonght and discussion which they - joy here, to the trammels imposed upon them by the artificial systems and despotic govern- ment of the Old World. When we find the lineal descendants of the Lords Montague, Ri- Vers, and Seroope—names closely linked with the great events of English history—preferring the simple title of an American citizen to the meretricious distinctions obtained by political subservieney or court favoritism, we may well rest eatisfied with the lot which has cast our fortanes under the shelter of democratic insti- tutions. in of ‘The Canadian Elections. Our neighbors in Canada have been yoing through some severe excitement during the late hot weather. The readers of the Hrraty who take an interest in Canadian affairs will remember \that the ministry were defeated on the reply to the address, and forthwith dis solved Parliament. The opposition made mach noise at this stretch of authority, and accused the Cabinet of desiring to prevent inquiry into the peculations and corruptions of its members by dissolving the House. The ministry, on their side, said that a law for the amendment of the franchise baving passed the Legislatare the Parliament then sitting was, by that vote declared incompetent to legislate for the coun- Hy; and the sconer it was dissolved the better. ibe peueipal mau, is wall Ge remembered, io | HOw tp vues WUETE Us Wek of the nactioaseg * G Hinghs, a Upangter of renowned skUl, aag had pledged themselves todo. This allegation seems tolerably substantiated. Thirdly, they charged the administration with delaying the settlement of the seignorial tenure question ; and this, also, they proved. Many other grounds of complaint were urged st great length by the opposition members, and sur- tained by evidence of greater or less validity. But the main point was the corruption charged against the Hincks cabinet. This was put so prominently forward that the candidates were distinguished at the polls by the names of cor- ruptionist and anti-corruptionist. The old tories do not seem to have made any sort of fight. They are, in fact, politically de- funct ; and only survive in the memories of a few gntiquated merchants, who appear to re- semble the honest Dutchmen who yote to this day at every Presidential election for “Cheneral Chackson.” Sir Allan McN.v, Sherwood and others have made an attempt to survive their natural fate by throwing party principle overboard and trying to coalesce with the party in power ; but as they brought no accession of strength, their over- tures have been generally declined. They have been permitted to proclaim thoir conversion to the reform doctrines with respect to the secularization of the reserves; but their new profession of faith has been hitherto purely gratuitous. They have elected but few members to the House. The reform opposition to the ministry-- known at the elections as the anti-corruptiva- ists—haye made a very brilliant show. We presume that the leader of this party is Mr. George Brown. Under his guidance the wuti- corruptionists have wrested from the ministry many of their strongholds in Upper Canada, and will doubtless command a large vote in the new Parliament, Their aims are the immediate secularization of the clergy reserves, i. ¢., the application to educational purposes of funds originally set apart for the support of the va- rious Christian churches ; opposition to the ag- grandisement of the Roman Catholic hierarchy: abolition of the seignioral tennre; and above all, the prevention for ever of corrupt specula- tions by the Cabinet ministers. The ministry seems to have been more forta- naie in Lower than in Upper Canada. In the French Canadian parishes, the priest generally elects the representative, and the pricst is almost invariably on the side of power. Backed by this formidable ally, the adminis- tration has carried Quebec, and a number of the counties in the vicinity. Montroal, where commercial activity prevails, and American infiuence is largely felt, has gone for the oppo- ition ; but this is an Exceptional case. Tho administration majority from Lower Canada is likely to be large. In Upper Canada on the other hand they have lost ground. Mr. Camo- | von, the President of the Executive Council, has been defeated by Mr. Browa; and ax the former possessed a larger share of personal popularity than any other member of the Cabinet, his de- feat may be regarded as an unequivocal synp- tom of ministerial decay. On the whole, thoagh we cannot as yet ivruz auy accurate conception of the figures, it seems probable that the bulk of Upper Canada will vote against, aud the bulk of Lower in favor of ve Hinecks administration. The balance will be held by the stragglers, which is an advan- tage to a goveroment possessing large meana sor corruption. On the great questions at issue the goverament will probably yield to the de- mands of the Brown faction, Whether or no there will be an engniry into the peculations which are charged upon Mr. Hincks deponds upon the temper of the French Canadians. Thirty or forty years ago, when the Receiver General, Sir John Caldwell, was charged with robbed the Province of half a million of dol- lars, the French Canadians were clamorous for an enquiry, which the British party—then in power—would not permit: it is by no means unlikely that the case may now be reversed, and that Mr. Hincks may be treated in the came by the Roman Catholic Church. Tae Starn Tewrerance Coxvenstox—Tus EETOTALLERS IN THE Freup.—Our readers will have seen from their advertisement in our col- uimns. that a great State Convention of the Tee- totallers is to be held at Auburn, on the 29th, day oi Sepiember next. The committee mating the call express the hope that “those oaly wil be elected as delegates, who consider the enact ment of a law prohibiting the liquor traffic as the question of paramount importance in our State legislation.’ This is coming squarely up to the work, and is conclusive of this important fuct-—that the tem perance people, upon the question of the Maine Liquor law, will be an independent party in our November clection. They will make all other questions, and principles, and issues, subservi- ent to the election of a Legislature and a Gov- ernor who may be relied upon in the passage of the Maine Liquor law. We may rely uponit that every candidate - for "Governor, or for the Assembly, or the Senate, will bo required to give his opinions in writing upon the liquor question and the liquor; and when such opinions are withheld, or are opposed to the temperance platform, or “whip the devil around the stump,” we may rely upon it that that ticket will. be dreadfully, and in most cases, we apprehend. jatally soraiched at the polls. We admonish ail other parties or cliques in- tonding to take a hand ic our legislative and gubernatorial election that it will be necessary, in making out their calculations in advance, to allow a considerable margin for a probable loss or gain, as the ease may be, from the ac- quisition or opposition of the temperance vote. If the Maine law party could carry the Logis lature Jast year, what may they not accomplish suis year, when they lave a vew W rebuie, Kue example of Rdode Islang (9 encourage thom, democracy to give them aid and comfort. The whi: candid .‘e for Goveraor will be, no doubt, a Muine law man. Wonder if the free soil soft she:ls will re-nominate Governor Sey- mour! Ten to one they will drop him. Upon the whole, the strength of the Temperance Al- Nance, as developed last year, and their call for a State Convention to operate directly upon the elections this year, warrant the prediction that New York will have the benefit of a pro- hibitory liquor law in fall blast before this time next year. Indeed, from all the signs upon every side, the Seymour and the lager bier party will, upon the liquor question, suffer the election to go by default. Can nothing be done for Seymour? Tur Sanatoca Convention—A Sprit Fearep vs Apvance.—The public are well advised of the fact, that on the 16th day of August there is to be a State Convention at Saratoga Springs of the Anti-Slavery Alliance; and that, without reference to past party distinctions, they are to rally together ina new party, for the restoration of the Missouri Compromise, the destruction of every man who dared to sup- port its repeal in Congress, and for continued and relentless war against the extension of the areaof Southern slavery in any direction what- ever. : Y,It was thought, at first, that this Alli- ance would absorb the whig party of the State, body and breeches, a large portion of the Buf- falo Van Buren faction, and all the free soil party proper, all the abolitionists, all tie s0- cialists, and all other reforming philosophical outside factions in the commonwealth, includ- ing the strong-minded women and the free colored Americans. But the programme of Weed and Greeley does not work smoothly. The Fillmore and Websterian whig editors of the State, and some others, who do not believe that the whig party is dead yet, prefer to hatch up the old whig organiza@fon ; and they predict that the affair at Saratoga will end in a “con- temptible fizzle.” These disagreements very materially compli- cate our political embarrassments. We shall now, probably, have more than half a dozen factions or parties in the tield—the hard shells and soft +hells—perhaps two or three fac- tions of each—the Temperance Alliance, the Anti-Slavery Alliance, the whigs, the Know Nothings, the Irish Catholic party, the Germa- nic Jager bier pariy; and nobody can tell how many more, We chall wait with some anxiety the Saratoga convention, for upon its success or failure will materially depend the success or failure of the grand projected anti-slavery alliance of all the North for the campaign of 1856. From pre- sent appearances, the Saratoga concern will, in reality, end in a fizzle. Weed, Greely and Bryant must be stirring their stumps, There is mutiny in the camp. Tue Mexican Takaty—A Nice Francia, Orgration.—We understand that certain par- ties in Washington are trying to get hold of the three millions in the Treasury Department, the balance due Mexico under the ten million treaty, when the boundary line is run. It will be remembered that the treaty was rejected by the Senate, when the appropriation to pay Mexico was seven millions, The day following, however, by @ hocus pocus arrangement, never satisfactorily explained, the rejected treaty was reconsidered, three millions added to the “ in- demnity,”’ and in this shape ratified. The third article of the treaty reads thas :— In consideration of the foregoing stipulations, the government of the Unitea States "to pay to the Government of Mexico, in the city of New York, the sum Of ten railtions of dollars, of which soven millions shall be psid immediately upon the exchange of the ratilica- tions of this treaty, and the remaining three millions 38 soon as the boundaty lines shall be surveyed, marked, nfid estab!ished. Seven millions have already been paid to Gen. Almonte, as is well known. The three millions appears to have been left to pay the spoilsmen, and accordingly they are naturally anxious to finger the cash, What pretext they will hatch up to evade the provision of the treaty which declares this balance is not to be paid till “ the boundary lines shall be surveyed, marked and established,” we know not, but as necessity is the mother of inventioa, and the money market is tight, there is little doubt a modus operandi will be discovered, if the ope- rators do not lack the courage to carry out their designs. It seems a hard case, at all events, that any fuss should be made about a | portion of it, when the whole arrangement is a | swindle. It was said that Gen. Alinonte, after getting | that seven million draft, was going to Europe | to rest awhile after his labors, But, according to the latest accounts, this distinguished Mexi- can is still at Washington, Doubtless the pro- per parties representing Mexico. are prepared to pay a good bonus for cash down, so thet they can distribute their favora like honorable } men, from the White House to the Capitol, “stopping at the intermediate landings.” In the absence of a reduction of the tariff, let us rid Secretary Guthrie of his surplus by all | means, so as to do the most good. Inveresiive TO Firemen.—We publish, to- day, a full and accurate account of the Parisian Fire Department, the superiority of which over any thing else of the kind in the world has been acknowledged by all travellers. When we cou- sider that Paris has twice the population of New York, and that the average yearly loss by fire at the first named place is but one hundred thousand dollars per year, it must be apparent that we as yet know very little relative to the extinction and prevention of fires. We think that our department might obtain some valu- able hints from the article which we print to- day. Naval Intelligence. The United States storeship Relief, 8. C. Rowan, Lieut.

The flames were speedily extin- guished, not however before the premises wore damaged to the amount of about $500. The stock of Mr. Robson, furniture dealer, in the lower part of the building, was damaged by water to the amount of $600.
