This is the question which is as&ed.oftener doring tue day than any other, and he individual who is so unlucky as not to be posted Bp im the news finds himself in a disagreeable quao- @ery. Firat in importance, then, comes the com- @ereial and financial news, and under the appropri ate beads in to-dagMs paper the inquirer my leam everything about the breaking down cf the baaks, ‘the bursting up of the stock bubbles, che tribaia- tens of the-bul!s and bears on ’Cuange, the oacilla- tien of prices, and the variations of’the markets generally--all of which are too complex and multi ‘tmdincus to allow of a particular reference at tie ‘time. Next, possibly, the reader will desire to Jearn something con’erning the state of the crop, ‘and how they bave prospered—or ratver, how they tavo suffered—under the terrible drought which has prevailed all over the conotry for the past nine weeks, and also what offect the reoent reins have had upon the arid ani parched earth. All this ca» be ascertaked in another column of to-day’s- paver; anda telegraphic deepatch from Baltimre receive Jast night furnishes tue gratifying intellizence.that that city was yosterday favored wita a re freshing shower of two hours doration, wit #@ prospect of a continuance thereof. Puiladel sphia was served in the same way; bat there they ad all the accompaniments—awfal lightuing, ter- tific thunde:, violent gusta of wind, uprooting trees, &e. So it seems the yains are extending southward, and casteard, and westward, and in the course of & week or two the crusty old farmers will change thei: tones, acd cry out that everyt! ing is destroyed dy the wet, just as they did early in the spring. And yet iv another part of the papsr may be found eeveral very interesting letters from our corms pondevts at the differest summer retreats, giving descriptions of the manners and customs, amuse- ments and follies, scrapes and civersions that, p: « vail at tieve resorts. Of course everybody will reaa the add:ess of Daniel S. Dickinson, delivered at Bimghamton on the 24th inst., before a seminary, et of hard shell democrats, but of Methodist ‘Epis opalions, which was listened to with marked attention. There are also a great many other in teresting and important subjects to which we might qeter, but want of space prevents. We have just at ‘tele time no explosions of engine boilera, no mur ” @era, no suicides, no disputations between the theo Fogians, no gatherings of the politicians, no riots on ‘the Fabbath, and but very little cholera indeed; but while the public mind is fortunately relieved for a ‘téwe of such unhéalthy stimulants, it is startled by ‘the crashing of wild cat and red dog bauks, the col- Jnperng of financiers, the explosions of the stook mat- kes, the direful effect of the drought on the crops, and the rejoiciogs over the recent rains. Here, surely, is news enough in all conscience. THE RBYOLUTION IN VENBZUELA. We publish to-day a most important sad interest- 3g paper on the affairs of Venezuela, which reas ed ‘us from Oarthagena, New Gcanada, and was compiled here fom private letters receive’ direct from Cura- ea by the Dutch schooner Cyrus. It would appear that on the 26th of July a most healthy ani sound republican spirit pervaded the entire country, and ‘that the important provinces of Barqutsimet, Buri- <@.s, Asure, Cumana aod Carabolo, had anequiro ® ly pronounced against the Monagas dynasty. Gon- eral Paez was proclaimed chief leader of the people, ‘and looked for as the “liberator” of his couatry- ten, amongst whom anu armed combinatioa had been furmed with the intention of marching on the capi- tal ia orier to rescue it and tue people from tae Joke of the present rulers. Monagas is said to be ‘Without eitoer cash or credit, whilst the mos} liberal e@era have been made by foreign capitalists to Paez. Many of the foreign ministers had demanded ‘their passports on account of the open violations f both official courtesy and diplomatic rale at Wemptei by the governing clique.

Swevt Cro;sand Haid F.coo Whiskey~ New Impulse to ume Tempe: ance MuvoumanG There is a pros et that tho short oro orery of thi: se: son will give anew aod powerfal im pulse to the temprran_e ovuze thre.gieus She ' United States. Witkia the hart twelve months the tempe- repee movement, on the general *asis 67 the Maine Liquor yr. bas been mekiug sonae re- markable advenees in variows paris-of the Usiow. These 2@vanoes have heer ah'rfiy in the New Epyland Sta e3 and New Yurk; but in the great: West thoy bawe also been shaping out aa extensive political crgavization on the subject. In Ohio aud Kentacky the temperance purty is regulor}y in the field, Nor devs the movement ewp there. We have lately received the som~ what surp pews that the ‘emperance party have carried the day among the backwoods and prairie men-of toe frontier State of Texas; bat what is most surprising of all, the people of the city of Washington, in a recent municipal elec- tion, and in the very teeth of Congress, have declased substantially in favor of e prohibitory liquor law. The pecple of Washington, a city in which, ia proportion to its population, there is more liquor ooneumed than in any other city tn the world, excepting persaps the thriving city of San Francisco, or Syduey, in Austrolia—the people of Warhington, we say, having declared in tavor of stopping the supplies of grog, in the face of Congress, and in the condemnation of the practice of a large proportion of the as- ry tembied wiedom of the nation, we are prepared { for any thing anywhere,in the way-of temperance reform. Otherwise we might be somewhat taken aback at the bold ground which the Temperance Alliance of Pennsylvania have assumed on this question, making the teat of a prehibitory law the paramount issue in their forthcoming Octo- ber eleciion. Surely this is a great revolatioa in Penney lvania; for, be it remembered that close upon the heels of the war of independence, they were the Penusylvanians who rose up in an armed insurrection again-t the administration of George Washington, upon the platform of free whiskey. And euch whiskey! Made from the rudest machinery, and retailed at the cros+road ¢ .verns hot from the still! But, again: the tem- perance party have already exercised the ba- lJanee of power in several elections in Delaware; and .thongh they beve scarcely yet shown any signs of political vitality in Maryland, the move- ment is beginning to develope itself ia old Vir- ginia, Mint julape, peach brandy and honey, and old rye, must look to their laurels in the * Ancient Dominion,” or the “ good old hospi- talities”.of the Cavaliers will yet be utterly aboliched. In the Okd North State” they have a peculiar alcoholic distillation from apples, known a8 -black jack, bleck strap, Old Naab, and by various other endearing apellations. It is dark, hot and acrid, consuming the linings of the stomach like vitriol, and making short work of its devotees; but still, among these “pine barrens” of the turpentine country, it bas been long a favorite stimulant. Let Old Nash wake up, for the Temperance Alliance and a short corn crop threaten to invade even the apple orchards and pine barrens of North Carolina. But the general elcoholic drink of the “aturdy yeomanry” of the United States is whiskey— bald faced whiskey—fyrmerly manufactared chiefly from rye, hat sometimes of wheat, in districts with no access to a better market than the still house. Now, however, the article is generally manufactured from Jedian corn, Canals and railroads, immigration and exporta- tion, have so enlarged the facilities to good merkets, and the demands of consumption in bread, tbat wheat and rye are proiitably sold without a transfer to the distillery. But Indian com being a bulkicr and cheaper article, and being produced by hundreds of millions of bushels beyond the current demand for the sub- sistence.of men and animals, has become the great staple for the whiskey distilleries of the whole Union, and the f.uitful source of crime, destitution, disease and death, not alone from the raw whiskey, but from the swill fed beef, the swill fed pork, and particularly the swill milk, dispensed so largely among the population of our privcipal towns and cities. Ashort corn crop, falling one-third short of the avarage annual product of the country, must inerease the price of the raw material, the price of bread, and the price of whiskey, (lately 28, now 40 cents a gallon,) all of which advances, we repeat, ore especially adapted to give a great and powerful impulse to the temperance move- ment throughout the Union. We have been consulting the pages of that prodigious and in- congrucus book bearing the title of “The Seventh Census of the United States,” (1850,) for some statistics on the distilleries of the country, and the amount of breadstuffs which they consume; but the book in question has next to no information to give us upon the subject. We are informed that there are 309 men who are distillers in the State ot New York, and that throughout the Union there are 1,733 men engaged ia the distillery business, whose annual income exceeds each five hundred dollars a-year, With such rubbish we can do nothing. We are left to conjecture; and guos* frig that only one-tenth of the corn crop of the Union is consumed in whiskey, we have the \asis of ten per cent of the cash price of the raw material. With a crop one-third short, the temperance party in this State, and in other States, will thus have the “fixed facts” for a frech impulee in our political elections in be- half of a prohibltory liquor law. The hint has already been broadly thrown out by the leading organs of the Tem- perance Alliance. They will undoubtedly en- large upon the subject at their State convention at Auburn, on the 27th day of September, and make the question between corn-bread and bald- faced whirkey a direct issue before the people, in connection with the short crops of the sea- eon. This same policy we may expect to see vigorously pursued by the temperance party in all quarters where they may enter into the po- litical elections of the country. It is in this view that we may anticipate a powerful impulse to the temperance movement in this and other States, from this time forward. Short crops, high prices, emigrants pouring in trom Europe. drought, locusts, war, pestilence and famine in Mexico and Central America, a general demand for bread, and a general de- cline in the popularity of whiskey drinking, are all Calculated to work together in behalf of the Maine law platform. In fact, after the city of Washington has declared in favor of prohibition, we know not where to limit the probable suc- cestes of the general movement, With another short corn crop next year, Gen. Sam Hoggton, as the temperance candidate, may bid defiance even to the Know Nothings, for the Presidency Varce or a Warveure Puscs—Goop ror ‘Newront.—There is something peculiarty gratifying *o us in the evidence furnisved by an ext-act from ene of the Newport jour pal’, which we ;u'lih in our sotumes to Cay. The cxtractiin qu:st'on is neither more nor lees thao @ rtatement of the valuation of aseesed properiy withio th: maoicipality of Newport for the current yrar. But the plea- sure which we derive f.om it consi<t-in the fast that thi- year’s estim.te exeeeds by rome six- teen per cent that of 1853. To be more explicit, it appears that whereas the total amoaat of real and pereonal property was laat year esti- mated at $7 726.100, the estimate for the pre- sent year is $9,220 500, or au increase of nearly a million and a half of dollars. We may here remark thet a considerable portion of the real estate appears to be owned by some dozen per- rons haviug their permanent city residences in New York, and their country villas at Newport. One or two residents of Boston are also real estate owners to a pretty high figure. The names of some of those non-residents who are assessed on their property at Newport are given in the extract to which we refer. Among them we notice that of Mr. Bancroft, the historian, set down at $14,000, Sydney Brocks at $20,000, Prescott Holl, late U. S- Djetrict Attorney of New York, at $56,000, and Major George T. Downivg, colored man, aad vendor of tat Shrewsbury oysters, cooked in every style, at $14 000. This evidence of prosperity is encouraging and gratifying ; and notwithstanding the exist- ence of the Maine Liquor law there, we rejoice that Newport is looking up. The time waa, and that not a century ago, when its harbor was sought by vessels from every clime ; and when in the bomes of its merchants and wealthy men, visiters from the highest lterary, fashionable and aristocratic circles of Europe found plea- sant and hospitable reception. Then was New- pert the e.cial and commercial capital of the New World. The rhips of her merchants visitea every port whore trade invited them, and the an- cestors of many of ihe old families of the place amassed their wealth from the lucrative traffic which they carried on in African elaves and West India ram. . But times have sadly changed since then. The.glory of Newport has been long extinguiched. and those two profitable commodities are. now contraband within her ter. ar the midst of her prosperity the revolution came. Trade was, paralyzed, if not wholly des- troyed; and the close of the straggle saw the population of the town reduced to about a third ot what it had been. From that blow Newport never made an effort to recover. Though favored with one.of the fluest harbors in the country, and nearer than New York isto Europe by some thirty-six hours sailing, still, es it had not the advantage of water communi- cation with the interior. of the country, it could not retain its position of proeperity. Had rail- roads been known, or had canals been in ope- ration in those days, the .story might have been different, and Newport .might have been still the greatest commercial mart, instead of, as itds, the pleasantest watering place of the United States. But railroads were unknown and canals were andug, and Newport had not the advantage of 1 Hudson or a Mississippi to bring the produce of the interior to her docks. The natural consequence was, that her com- merce could never recover the effects of the revoluticn. The shock it reecived was a death blow, from which it could not rally; and the importance of Newport is now among the things that;kave been. We see, however, that an effort is about being made to revive busi- ness in it by the establishment of a line of steamers between that port and Brest. Newport is one of the very few monuments that we have appealing to our sympathies in the name of the venerable past. Our interest in it is caused more by what it has been than by what it ie. Its deserted docks and dilapidat- ed warebouses give it an appearance of age ond decay, and convey lesson on the muta bility of fortune, while, on the other hand, the thousands of fashionable people who throng its hotels in the summer season, and occupy the villas along the beach, proelaim it to be the Ppleasantest watering place in the Union. Itis gratifying, too, to reflect that if its former greatness sank before the growing importance of New York and Boston, it owes much of its present prosperity to the people of those cities, who constitute perhaps two-thirds of its sum- mer population. Thus Time at length sets all things oven. We have not before us the like estimates for other fashionable resorts in this country, to enable us to compare their relative prospority. It appears to us, however, that the increased value of real and personal estate at Niagara equals, if it does not exceed, that to which we have called attention in the case of Newport. But then the attractions of Niagara are not confined simply to tourists or fashionable people, Its position, its stupendous water power, (which is being made available,) the fertility ofits soil and the salubrity of its cli- mate, all conspire to induce eettlement there; so that Niagara bidg fair soon to become a town of importance. Not so Saratoga. There is no- thing ip ite position or soi] to induce men elsher to becomé permanent or transient residents there; and were it not for the acknowledged virtue of its waters we think that few whohave been there once would subject themselves a se- cond time to the misery of boarding, or rather starving, 9 week at one of its hotels. We congratulate the good people of Newport on the symptoms of improvement which the re- Gent valuation of the town exhibite; and we hope that the advance in the growth and pros- perity of their city will henceforth be a steadily progressive one, despite the disadvantages of abolitionism and the Maine Liquor law. May philosophers ond historians and literatears still take delight in strolling meditatively along its pleasant beach; may the gay, frivolous and fashionable etill find Newport the watering place par excellence of the country; and may ‘the gallant and polite Downing continue to de- tive fat profit from bis fat oysters! Trax Disarrearance or tHe CHoLera.—It is a pleasing taek to announce that the reign of the choler is over—that it is passing away from our midst. At no time during this reason have we thought that the sickness in New York was ¢o alarming as the fears of some would have us believe. If there wore any in- etances atall this year, they were rare, where vic- tims were attacked with the virulence and car- ried off with the rapidity that created such a panic in every town and village in which the fel) deetroyer took up his abode in other times, We believe, too, that in almost every case of Asiatic cholera that has occurred within this city, the patient's sufferings or death have been traced to m me itely worse, to intoxication, or drinking edul- terated liqa:ra It is important to netice, tn the progrees of th's direare, that it le gradually wearing iteelf oat—that each succeeding visit to this county is 1 ss faral in ite consequences than the last, and that we may expect to see it ere Jong completely under the control of science. It is very grat fying to observe that tne City Inspector's revurn fur last week shows @ decrease of ninety-one deaths. The great- ert nomber of deaths in ave week from cbolera this summer, was.302, and that number has now been reduced to nearly a third. But leaving the figure at 302, it could scarcely be eatd, even then, that the disease was epidemic The average of weekly ‘deaths, taking the highest figure, was at the rate of one for every two thourand citizens, including foreigners,who, it is admitted, were the prin@ipal sufferers When wecompare the mortality of New York with that of other large towns, we can come to no other conclusion than thatit isa remarkably healthy city. To the north, south and east of us the returns of deaths from cholera have far exceeded ours. Bven in Canada, where a cooler atmosphere ig supposed to engender health, the scourge has visited all the principal cities of the province with much greater severity than it has visited us. There bave been ten or @ dozen deaths in Quebec and Montreal torivery ove in New York; aod yet many of our citizens left for Oanada, in order to escape from the pestilence. But for our salvation we are neither indebted to the blessings-of cleanliness. nor yet to any parti- cular vigor displayed by the Board of Health ia the exercise of its important duties. Oa the contrary, we belleve that if proper energy had been manifested by tse authorities at the com- Mmencement of the season, mapy lives would have been saved. To Providence and a healthy situ- stion our thanks in this particular are espe- cially due. When the disease first broke out we endea- vored to persuade our fellow-citizens of the foolishness of leaving the city. Many were too much occupied by their own fears at the time to heed our advice. But we are glad to per ceive, pow that the most timorous have ven- tured to return, they are even persuaded that they left abealthy for an unhealthy locality, and thereby incurred a risk from which they might bave been spared by remaining at home. Our hotels are once more full, proving that the exaggerated reports 80 carefully circulated by Philadelphia about the prevailing sickness here, have received. very little credit. The publication of the last official notice by the Health Commis- sioners, announciog the disappearance of the epidemic, will, we trust, remove all fears on the subject. Business, we are happy to say, has at Jength been resumed. TRAVEL on THE Hupson—The Accent 10 tue Henpr«x Hupsoy,—Another cause of com- plaint against the captains of the Hudson river steamboats is dieclosed in the proceedings of meetings held on board the Troy and Hen- drik Hudson on Saturday, which we have been requested to publish. It seems that a crank pin on board the latter vessel had been broken pre. vious to her departure from Albany; and one of ber wheels was thus disabled. Ths captain expressed his fears that she would not be able to reach New York with one wheel; but still, carefully concealing the fact from his passen- gers, be started from the wharf at Albany as though all was right. A short time afterwards, as we understand the story, she came into col lision with @ schooner, and it became obvious that the could not proceed on her journey. After lying to, the steamer Troy, alao a pas- senger bout bound for New York, came in sight, and immediately tcok the Hendrik Hadson in tow, and proceeded on her journey at the rate of four or five miles an hour. The passengers of the Hendrik Hudson requested to be put on thore, or traneferred to the Troy; those on board the latter vessel, indignant a€ being de- tained while the boat was towing the Hendrik Hudson, made a similar request. But both captains laughed at the idea. They would noither suffer their passengers to go ashore, nor cast off the towline. In fact the imposition was aggravated, according to the passengers statement, throughout by the grossest rade- nees on the part of the two captains, All the passengers demanded was to be put on ehore so as to take the Hudcon River Railroad to New York: no request—however reasonable and just it would have becn—was made for the return of the passage money: and yet, bo'h captains refused to comply with the wishes of the passengers, The boats reached the city at 4 P. M. on Sa- turday, instead of 6 A. M. Independently of the annoying lors of time suffered by all, the delny was in some cases peculiarly grievous. One passenger was going to be married. The wedding guests were assembled, waiting for him, while he was chafing at his detention on board the Troy. Another hada note coming due for several thousand dollars on Saturday: it was protested, and he must now do what*he can to repair the blow given to his credit. A third had paid hie pasrage money on board the Union steamer, which left for Havre on Satur- day at noon. These are only a few cases which have come to our knowledge; out of some four hundred passengers detained by the captains of the two steamers, several others have doubt- less been as seriously aggrieved. We learn, however, that the matter is not going to rest here. The indignant pas- sengers have called a meeting to be held thie evening at 8 o'clock at the Astor House, to take the enbject into consideration and espe- cially to discuss the expediency of holding the proprietors of the line responsible in damages for their detention. We trust there will be a full attendance. The point of Jaw, as we take it, is quite clear. It has already been decided if we remember right, in an analogous case, that @ passenger boat has not the right to tow, when the time of her voyage is increased and her paseengers detained thereby. Such an act isa clear violation of the implied contract with her pareengers involved in the payment of the pas- sage money. There can, therefore, we should think, be little doubt that the damages saffered by the passengers of the Troy and Hendrik Hudeon in consequence of the detention can be recovered from the owners of those boate, But the injured parties should not remain satiefied with thie. A full exposition of the cir- cumstances, placing the conduct of the two steamboat captains in a atrong light, and cha- racterizing it as it deserves, is due to the tra- vellIng community. Too long have these river boats been # source of constant complaint and annoyance. Constantly within the past year or two, have we hed angry communications com- plaining of some stretch of authority or wilful annoyance or imposition practised by the em- ployés of boats on travellers. It is time that unripe | steps should be taken to rectify this state of imprudenoe—eating , fruit, exposure Se Se things, Neconuriovs wire Exotanp ov Tae Sussecr or Ewiorasion —A correspondent, in a letter published yerter ‘sy, seems to think that the object of the Britis» gov-rnment, in seeking to | ret on foot negotiations with this country pa the sub'eet of emigration, is merely to check ! the tide of emigrants from the British shores to | 1, the United Stater. We dissent from this view. j For many yearr, the sabject ot emigration has been carefully studied by the leaders of British politics! parties; acd though the danger of too rapid depletion of che British isles has been more than once urged by members of the old tory clique it is now generally conceded on all hands that it would be a: impolitic to place j restraints on the egress of men and women as to Jay prohibition export duties on manufac- tures. This we gather from the late reports of the British commiscioners of emigration; and it ix ol vious that no other policy would be consis- tent with the free trade theories which prevail in Great Britain. Partial attempts are still wade to attraet emigrants to Canada and the other Britich colonies; but even these have be- come feeble of late years, and all parties seem agreed to let the exiles take their own way. So long as the United States presents a better field for poor men than England, Ireland or the British colonies, they will come here, in despite of laws and regulations to prevent them; trammels on their free exit from a country where they starve would inevitably lead to dis- turbances which no statesman in England is so bind as not to foresee. We do not think, therefore, as our correspondent does, that the overtures made by the British goveroment con- ceal apy latent inimica! purpose; and unti) tome further light is thrown on the subject, we thall venture to interpret them as their lan- guage importe, viz :—As evidence of a desire to ameliorate the condition of emigrants. In thie view we trust they will be cordially met on this si?e of the water. We differ from our correspondent in thinking that goverpment shou'd not regulate these mat- ters, but should leave them to the enterprise and humanity of shipping merchants. If the latter were held to the same obligations in respect to emigrants as they are in respect to goods, and bound to deliver them in good order, and as perfect as thry received them, we might agree with our correspondent. As it is, we are very decidedly of opinion that the relaxation of State vigilance over the transportation of human creatures in ships would be attended with in- finite danger and injury. Tse Drvecen Liquor or Tak New Hawp- SHIRE LEGIsSLATORE—THE Way Ir was Done.— Our readers will remember that some months ago, when the New Hampshire Legislature was in eersion, the wrath of the administration democracy at Concord was roused against the opporition coalition upon acbarge that they had drugged the liquor of the faithfal, and had thus rendered them unable to be in the House when their services were most required. A committee was appointed to investigate the Matter, but we have never had the benefit of their report upon this drugging business. Bat it is at length explained by the Dover Inquirer, as follows:— At Gase’s, the headquarters of the ‘“ unterrified,”’ there ia s small back room, where certain ‘:good things” F on shelves, together with the ents of sugar bowls and tumblers. Mr. Tam: for rome time » Rest an agent of tho Now York 0 Company, tarried for sevoral weeks of the session at Concord, and had with hum several choice sampies of pulverized fuano, which he kept in bowls, and on favor- able cecas! hibited them to his friends among members. One evening, being dastily called out, ho in- cgutionsiy net awey his pulverize1 samples on the samo shelf with the sugar bow's. rhortly after, some of che tormbera, wishing to “ strengthen the inner man,” went into the closet, which was not yet lighted up. aud, hav- ipg used the decantesa, took also freely of the aweetening from she gussio bowls. shortly afer drink ing, the fertilizing effects of the ‘‘eweetening’’ mani- fested itself in no very agreeable way. The ‘dragged members were eventually used up for the time and the inventive genias of Butterdeld seizing upon incident, proclaimed it s triek of the majority played off is expense of the liquor-loving democrats of the . \ This shows the administration democracy to be in e worse condition than we had supposed. All the farmers say that where guano fails the case is hopeless. What hope can there be, then, where guano avd domestic brandy combined have failed to effect the least shadow of im- provement?
