The news received by the Baltic from the seat of war in Europe adds but little t> the facts pre. viously announced. The jnvasion of the Crimea seems now to be definitively desided upon, and if ‘we are to credit the last telegraphic despatches from the East, the embarkation of troops for that destination has already commenced. It is stated ‘that on the 2ist of July the light division of the British army, under Genera! Brown, and the divi- sion of the French army under General Canrobert, Bad eniled from Varna for the Crimean coast, and although some donbt seems to exist as tothe cor rectnese of this intelligence, it regards rather the date of their departure than the fact itself. To re- waist the large force which is to effect this operation, # is said that the Russians have at present im the Crimea only seventy thousand men, exclu- eive of the marines and dock yard battalions at pre sentir Sebastopol. ‘it is true, as stated in the Lon don Himes, that inthe absence of communication ‘by- see a vast extert of steppes and marshes has to be treversed before additional reinforcements can be brought from the interior of Russia; but it, must not ‘be forgotten that, as Sebastapol is now confeas: edly unapproachable from the sca, a large propor- Mien of the Russian land forces,-and even of the gar- Fison itself, will be available for the defence of the cast. It now remains to be seen wh feeling of the population of the Prinvigslities, as well #3 the doubtful aititude of Austria, the Russians will exbtbit that bravery and determination upon which the Czar seems so oonfi- dently to rely. If be leses the Crimea thore is no @oubt that-a great blow and discouragement will be ‘inflicted-en his cause, and we may, therefore, anti- tipate a resistance proportioned to the-magnitade ‘and importance of the interests at stake. The struggle will, in any case, be a desperate and bloody ne; and it is fearful to reflect on the amount of worrow av misery that ie certain to reanlt from the eperatione of the next dow months. The campaigu ém the Crimea promises to surpass, in tho novelty of its joint eperations by land and sea, and in the difficult and eangvinacy charactet of its de tails, any similar attempt at invasion recorded in history. We believe, however, thet more im- portance ic.attached tothe success of this opera- ‘hom dy the allies than it really deserves. Ad- mitting that the Crimee-chould fall inte their hands, they will find: themseleee tut lictle advanced in their main object. - They mort then either carry the war ato the interior of Resaia, or contiane the system f blockade for an interminable period. If they should fail inchis attesap>—and whe will venture to aay that suchen event ia improbable—their dofeat wilh exercise fatal influsace on thesvavering po- . Mey ef the“ courte that:dsaye hitherto held aloof, and may even icad to the:proximate repture of the Coralition iteelf. In the meanwhile Austrie continues to play the -®ame subile and adroit came which shedas hitherto #0 connigglz puraced. Every step that she makes towards tke fulfilment of her engag»ments with the allies is guarded by pregausians which are evident- ly intended to pretest her retreat in the. event of their arma proving prauccessfel. It is now stated ‘that not only bave the Turks xot entered Bucharest, - but that they-will refcajn from.doing so,2n conse- squence of an ggreemes? entereé into to that effect tt is , Marther stipulated that the Turk) are to be with detween the Austrain envoy and the Porte.

To Londoa Daily’ INqos serps to think that with suck evident iaten ‘tions on the part of Austria to consult her interests alone, it is Coolish.on the part of the coalition to amakeany great encrifices to seonre the Crimea, ‘where their wovements will be checked and para- ‘by the duplicity af the Austrian gevernment. io of opinion that e gaat blow should be jirst atgack in the Nemth, where they coald be defeated dy no cognteracting influence. There is some furce 4m this idea. To show the inefticiency of the Adgeirals to whom he command of the allied fleets in the Black dea has ‘been entrusted, we may mention that three arkish merchantmen heve been gurnt at anctor in he harbor of Heraclen by 6 Russian steam:r, and thet the Briti# war steamer Cyclops was even based near the Bonphoros hy the Valdimir, which avery one shanght was eafely ahut up {a the hapbor ef Sebastopol. The laet Russian propositions have, as was ex. pected, been unconditionally rejected by Englaad and France, end it waa believed that Austria would simply notify ber intentions to the Cours of St. Petersburg, and then enter the Principalities, The Ras:ian Kuvey haa mode his preparations to guit Vienna. From the Baltie we have no nows of 8 posittve A aracter. A Stockholm paper announces thet on the 3d French force occupied Aland, after a bom bardn ‘ent of eeven hours; but the news is uucon ‘The ma t important feature in the Spanish nowa, ot least as ».egards thie country, is the re-appoint ment of Don José de f Concha to the government of Cube, This may be ken as an indication of the ie | taken upon feelin ‘bat exits on the part of thé Béw govern- ‘Jy cafe that the ment ‘oward. ‘he Uni'ed Sta’es.

The people of Europe are at present too heavily taxed to provide for the expenses of the war, to have much surplus meney to spend on amusements. To the artistic celibreties who have already been induced to visit us by this depreciated condition of theatrical pros- pects, we have now to add the long expected Diva, of London and Paris worshippers, the world re- nowned Gueletta Grisi, her almost equally famous husband, the titled tenor Mario, Madlle. Donovanai, a new musical star of whom London critics speak in the highest terms, but whom we should like all the better if she hed not Italianized her konest Irish patronymic. With these distia- guished lions has of course arrived their leader and cicerone, Mr. Jas. H. Hackett, who expects to reap a golden tarvest by his new acquisitions. To this list of theatrical notabilities arrived by the Baltic we have to add Mr. William Niblo, who, we pre sume, also comes provided with an effective plan of operations. The ensuing theatrical campaign, therefore, promises to rival in keenness of competi- tion and in intensity of interest the great struggle of which the Crimea is about to be the theatre. MORTALITY OF THE PAST WEEK-—-THE CHOLERA. There were 922 deaths in this city during the week ending yesterday, according to the official report of the City Inspector, being 138 less than the week previous. ‘The cholera is gradally dis- @ppearing, the total number of deaths from -this cause being 221—-a decrease of 51 on the week be- fore. From the public institutions it has entirely disappeared. This is a very gratifying indication, from which we may reasonably expect its total de- parture ina few weeks. Of the whole number of deaths of this disease one hundred and fifty odd were foreigners; and this reveals the fact that this malady is mainly among the unfortunate classes of those districts of the city polluted with filth. With the clean}y portion of our population there need be little fear of the cholera. By the report we learn that there were 27 deaths of cholera morbus; 44 of diarrhoea; 33 of dysentery; 11 of inflammation of the bowels; 10 of atrophia; 83 of consumption; 17 of congestion of the brain; $7 of dropsy in the chest; 11 of inflammation of the lungs; 13 of in- flammatibn of the brain; and 9 of dropsy in the head. There were of cholera infantum, 124; of convulsions (infantile) 71; marasmus (infantile) 48; old age 8; casualties 9; Urowned 10; murders 2; premature births 11; end stillborn 3% There were 568 obildren under ten years of age, among the victims. The nativity table gives 600 ‘natives of the United States, £91 of Ireland, 80 of Germa- ny, 2@ of England, and the balance of various other countries. “ TROM HAYTI. The bark Aaron-J.

Logwood was plenty, and the price declining. : COMMERCIAL AFFATR® Flour was less active gesterday, ‘but without change in prices. Wheat was quict. Indian corn again advanced, and sales of reapd were made at as high os 814-ents. Whiskey aévaosé to $64 sents— the higheet price reached for some'years past. 1,500 barrels mss pork were soli, ov a Western order, at $15 25, and other sales were made, on the spot, atthe same price.

A French sans culette wae arguing one day with a grim Cossack the blessings which a ra- publican government-would bring to.the sixty millions of serfs ot Russia. Charmad ty ite elo- quence of the fiery Gaul, the Northern barha~ rian admitted that a republic was the thiay for all the- Ruselae; that-his fellow serfs would all | fight to the death for «republis; “ bus the Czar —the Czar—who, then,” said be, “ who would be the Czart” And so say we in regard so our November elections, We want a change—we ‘want reform—we waat.retrenchments—we are wuffering under a systam.of despotic end hore- ditary corruptions—we want « revolution; but the Governor—the Goveraor—who is to be the Governor? We have tried several times, heretofore, to epproximate a sointion of this complicated and inexplicable Interrogatory; but we shall try again. It is due~due to all parties concerned ~due to thesovereign people of New Work, and 1] ofthe Unioa at large-~that we should persist in oy endeavor to enlightog them on this barnss- ing, exeiting and important question of the Go- vernor. In this view, the firat thing to be done is to classify the various parties in the field; the next thing is to ascertain their relative strength, apd the wird point is to get at the candidate respectively of each party or faction, and thy comperative weight of his canse, his supporters, and hje own popularity. This being done, we Mave only to cum up the probabilities of the general result, and very likely we may hit upon the Governort First, then, in regard to the parties and fac- tions in the November election, they may be elassisied as follows :— 1, The abolitiovized consolidated whig party. 2. The anti-slavery coalition party in the rear. 3. The gonservative hard shell democratic party. s 4. The Yan Buren free soi] administration faction. 5, The temperguce party. 6. The lager hier party. 7. The Irish Caihojic party. And “last thoagh not least,” 8. The Kaow Nottngs ! The Saratoga Conveatiou, the Boston Whix State Convention, and the results of tho régeat elcetions in Towa, aud the whig preparation for other forthcoming elections in the Western States, render the conclusion, we think, perfect- | will still stick to Judge Bronson. considered his declension, and has ver grays from the whig camp, Nothings, it is thought, will br ing up an over wh@iming body ‘of reserves t 0 the support of the Judge.

The poryiation | ¥''? ” ui the abolisien ‘and free go!) cliques, co- vries and factions of the dey. We expect that the Whig Stete Convention at Syracuse will ratify thisalliance. They will be compelled to do it, with the second anti-slavery coali:ion convention appointed to inspect, revise, ap- prove, or condemn their proceedings, We also believe that the whigs at Syracuse will take especial pains in their platform, and in their nomination for Governor, to secure “the good wiil and fixtures” of the State Tem- perance Alliance. And why not? After the veto of the prohibitory liquor bill of last session, by ademocratic Governor, it will not be a dif- ficult task to bring even the Maine law forces én masse to the support of the whig anti-sla- very alliance. With such a combination of forces and resources, it would be manifesily the policy of the Seward leaders to pat forward their Presidential champion for Governor, wit a fair prospect that his election would be so triumphant as to place him beyond the reach of his anti-slavery and free soil competitors for the Northern whig abolition coalition nomina- tion in 1856. > But there is.an insurmountable obstacle in the way. It has suddenly sprung up in the mysterious but terrible order of the Know Nothings. They have shown in New Orleans, Mobile, Norfolk, Washington, Philadelphia, Sa- lem, St. Louis and other places, that they hold a formidable balance of power, and that al- though they strike without notice, they strike with astonishing effect. Enough is ascertained { | of them to know that if W. H. Seward isrunfo ¢ Governor they will swamp him. He has be: mm! too long in wheedling the Irish Catholics 2 pa Archbishop Hughes to make any fa iw factory repentance, so late in the + i Hence, he has recently, in the WU) jted States Senate, adopted the virtue of eon- sistency, and has denounced the Know ; No- things as a secret body of conspirate ¢ un- worthy the publig confidence. Seward, | there- fore, cannot be the whig candidate jer Go- vernor. He is not available, although jhe-man of all men in the slavery anti-Nebras’ xa issue. He must be laid by for @ while until t’ jis Know Nothing excitement blows over, an | the con- spiracy is exploded. What the whi gs willdo tosupply his place in our fall electio p we shall presently inquire, The democratic dard shells, it is » andersiood, Be, hes re- agreed to -be Governor, if they can elect him. Some of them think it may be done. Th sy count upon a large desertion of Webster an 4 Fillmore sil- and the Know the embodiment of the ruptarre with the admin- istivation; and in the contest between him and the: Gabinet=spoils faction the hards will at least achieve a decisive victory, and do much testablish the basis of the reorganization o the national democracy for the Presidential wampaign, | We have heard it suggested that the free soil soft shelis, at their State convention on the 12th September, will struggle desperately to avoid a betrayal of their weakness in a sepa+ rate fight, and will do everything but get down upon their knees in humble prayer to effect a reconciliation with the hards. We have heard that to this end they will attempt a fasion ticket, with Seymour as their candidate for Governor, and General Aaron Ward for Lieu- tenant Governor; or with Ward as their candi- date for Governor, and some flexible soft shell for his lieutenant. But we apprehend . that there will be no fusion, and that, should the bards and softs etrike hands and coalesce for the spoils, the reunion will come too late. 1) uited or divided, the spoils policy of the administra- tion, and its vain endeavors to clear its skirts of free soilism, have so crippled, demoralized and scattered the democratic party ef this State, that there is no living chance for them until the administretion itvelf is utterly ignor ed and abandoned. The coalition whig candidate for Governor of New York, 4t is thought then, will be elected. We presume, in eettling upon this conclusion, that they will choose such a can@idate as will be available with the temperance party, satisfac- tory to the Seratoga alliance, and acceptable to the Know Nothings. We suspect that they will, consulting the ame combination of forces, carry most, if not all, of the thirty-three mem- bers of'Congress to be chosen; “but im view of the question of re-electing Seward to the United States Senate, {t would not be very surprising should an anti-Seward Legislatare be elected, through the mysterious egeacy of the new na- tive American societies, The Know Nothing party, the Irlsh Catholic party, the lager bier party, and the Saratoga party, are outside parties, making no State nominations of thelr own, but fixing apon their selections and rejections from the whig, the hard or the soft shell democratic tickets, as the case moy be. The temperance party, at their State conventions, will probably follow the same course in regard to their State ticket, inclad- ing the Governor. But in the elections to the Legislature there will doubtless be, especially here in New York, an unusual namber of ine dependent and outside caudidates ia the field, and en unusual number of the more regular nomtnatione defeated, Very well. The more the merrier. The whigs having scttled upon it that the coalition candidate will be the next Gov- ernor, it only remains now to determine who is to be thiseandidate. Seward is not available. Gree- ley might answer on the liquor question; but Greeley, too, is at war with the Know Nothings, and must be set aside. The whig candidate for our Governor must be an anti-slavery man, a Maine law man, and a Know Nothing, And we need such a candidate, because the remains of the late whig party, in their fusion with the outelie factions of the State, are adutrably adapted for this triangular combiaation. Our November election will be a serub race of the most heterogeneous complications, and our next Governor will be a political nonde seript— part whig, part abolitfonist, partly Maine liquor law, and in part a Koow Nothing, We think 80, because the whigs are free to do as they may please, and they are ready for any thing, for their stomachs are empty and they are hungry for the spoils. They have the in- terval between this day and the twoutieth of man, Plenty of time. (ora Amv: EMENTS—OPBNING OF THE Busi- pond nee to~iay will be found curious and in- tere ting. From New Hampshire to Qid Vir- gin'a from the ummit of Mount Washington to the bubles of the White Sulphur Springs, we'bave brant ‘accounts of the doiugs of belles ond beaux. Moncy is lavished like run- ing water, while notes are protested and bills remain unpaid, Our correspondence from the spas of Old Virginia wi}'| be found particularly attragtive, as it gives accounts of pleasant places and pleasant people previously unknown to the ma- jority ‘ot Northern tourists. It’ would seem thatthe minority in this case are more fortu- nate than minorities generally, and it appears that, the aristocracy of the Old Dominion have set up certain fashions at variance with water. ing place etiquette, such as appearing. at din- wer in morning dresses, etc.—a very sensible idea, and worthy of imitation, especially by people with limited incomes, though it must be confessed that the dining room kall of ® great hatel, filled with well-dressed la- dies and gentlemen, presents a most en- charfiing ensemble. The main difficulty at ‘Zaretoga, Cape May and Newport arises fro on a-desire to excel and outshine, on the part of ‘the jadies, which feeling gives:rise to an ex- © jes of adornment that not only deteriorates ‘from ‘the effect of the natural beauty of the feraole so adorned, but makes e serious inroad imto'the pockets of the unhappy man who is ‘expected to pay the bills. P There is no doult a greatdeal of heartless- mess, frivolity, affectation and coquetry at the ‘fashionable watering places; but we do not see ‘that it isin good taste for outsiders to complain, -or that-eny complaint will have a tendency to remove the evils alluded te, which will probably exist until the Fourierite philosophers succeed in re-organizing society. We are pained to be obliged to lacerate the feelings of some of our susceptible neighbors, but we must say that the prospects of these philosophers are not very brilliant just at present. The season at the summer retreats bids fair to-be longer than usual. Various circumstances have joined to bring about this result. The ba- siness season has been unusually dull—a natural consequence of the activity of business men last summer, and the extraordinary tightness of the ‘money market. The exaggerated cholera reports which have } been spread all-over the country, have kept ‘many traders away from New York, and we shall not be blessed with their cheerful coustenances in our shops, hotels, promenades, and theatres until the arrival of the cool days of October. The facilities for rapid and cheap travelling, and the quick transit of freight which we now enjoy, make it unnecessary for merchants to com- mence the ‘fall business before the middle of September, and both sellers aud buyers are, therefore, tempted to loiter at the watering places, and there spend the time which was for- merly occupied in the wholesale warehouse or at the retail counter, Formerly our merchants depended principally on river navigation for freight transit; and when the streams were bound up by the Ice King, business was closed also. Now, we have railways from Canada to the Guif, from Boston to St. Louis, and freight can be transmitted in any season with marvel- lous celerity, Just.as much, and more , business is gone, but with such! improved facilities that it occupies only half the time previously con- sidered necessary, In consequence of all these facts, the water ing places will be pretty well filled up till the middle of September, when business and poli- tics will break up many pleasant reunions and sever many warm attachments. There is no stronger bond of union than these same merry meetings, attended by citizens of afl parts ot the Union § The dashing Californian fraternizes with the prim New Englander—the generous, refined, elegant and impulsive Seutherner shakes hands with the blunt Westera farmer, and both are on the best of terms with the Broadway exquisite. We have Southerners at the North for the summer, and Northerners at the South for the winter. There is so mauch social union, that fanatics will endeavor in vain to bring about their treasonable schemes @ political disorganization. War Among THE VirGcinta VeMoceacy.—Mr, Senator Hunter, of Virginia, in his bill provid- Ang to cede the public lands to the States in which they lie; to railroad corporations for neghing; and to actual settlers at various prices, graduated down to a shilling an acre, has been playing the very dence among the Vir- ginia democracy. The Richmond Eraminer. the organ of the Calhoun State rights demo- crate, denounces this bill of Mr. Hunter asa Richmond Enquirer, one of the confidential or- gans of the administration, backed up ly the Cabinet organ at Washington, is laboring hard to prove the obnoxious bill entirely consist ent with the views of Mr. Calhoun. We rather like this. It looks as if the rotten fre» soil administration regency at Richmond were about to be broken up. Although Daniels, from the Examiner, was sent off to Sardinia to keep him quiet, it has been of very little service to democratic harmony in Virginia. “Another Daniel has come to judgment,” and he Inys on his leather strap with the energy of » shoe- maker. There is open war among the Vir- ginia democracy. Good must result from it. ‘They want purification. Tur Crry Inerecton’s Rerort ow Swiut Mnx.—We publish elsewhere a commanication from the City Inspector, (presented to the Board of Councilmen, on the 16th inst., and ordered by that body to be printed,) in rela- tion to the sate Of diseased meat and manufao- tured mitk in this city. As milk is an article of consumption more or less used in every family, it isa matter of vital importance for the public to know the various facts which this communication brings to light. It presents a most revolting picture of the manner in which city used milk is produced, and gives us some idea of the extent to which the foul traffic in the epurious article is carried on. The sale of diseased meat is a matter of no less importance to our feliow citizens, and we earnestly recom- mend to all the careful perasal and considera- tion of the document in question. Ifthe repre- sentations of the City Inspector should prove correct, we heartily join with him in asking aid from our Common Council in the premises, and expect that vigorous endeavors will be made to remove these outrageous nuisances from the city.
