We give a report of the proceedings. An account of the extreme heat in our city yesterday, and its effecta, wil! be found eleewhsre in our paper. Nine persons were sun stuck. The bealts of our city still continues remarkably good. We learn from the City [as ector'’s report that there were 341 deaths ia the city daring the past week—an increase of 31 over the previous week. Among the principal causes of death con- sumption carried off 28; convulsions (infantile), 40; eholera infantum, 10; diarrhoea, 8; dropsy in the head, 20; dysentery, 7; scarlet fever, 14; typhoid fever, 5; inflammation of tie bowels, 9; inflamna- tion of lung, 7; infaatile marasmu3, 15; and measles, 10. There were 12 deaths from violent causes, 3 premature births, and 35 cases of still born. Of the entire number 104 wera adults, and 237 children, 133 of whom were under one yea’; 23 were inmates of our public institations. The following ia the classifization of dissases:—B aes, joints, &c., 1; brain and nerves, 86; generative or- gans, 6 ; heart and blood vessels, 10; langa, throat, &c., 72; old aga, 4; skin, &c., and eruptive fevers, 25; stillborn and premature births, 38; stomach, bowels, and other digestive organs, 70; uncsriaia seat and general tevers, 24; unknown, 1; urinary organs, 4. The nativity table showa 245 to have been natives of the United States, 41 of Ireland, 39 of Germany, 8 of England, 2 of France, 3 of 820% land, 1 of Switzerland, and 1 ot Wales. An important communication respecting the emi gration from Germany and Saxony, received by Mayor Wood from the U. 8. Consul at Leipsic, will be found in our paper this morning. In another colum will be found tre protes’ agreed to at the late mestiag of Fran sh rasideats held in Leonard strast against the nsw Liqaor law. Is is a idressed to the American peopls,snd afver ap- to the historical souven'rs which unite in common bonds cf brotherhood the two nations, it denounces the new law as an invasion of the princi- ples which both have struggled and bled for. With hia protest all farther idea of resistance agains’ the law on the part of our Franch population ceasss. They indignan‘ly repudiate the projects of armod hostility towards it whish have been attriou‘ei to bem. The document is highly creditable to the good sense and moderation of the persons com 303 ing the meeting in Leonard s'reet. We tras’ that they represent the sentiments of oar foreign popu- lation generally. The anti-liquor law men of Chicago had a grand jubilee over the defeat of the Maine law ia Illinois on the 27th fost. Guna were fired, baads of music put torth their sweetest strains, patriotic aud enthu- sisstic speeches were made, and a grand procession, ‘the Jargest ever seen in Caicago, was formed and marched through the principal streets. On the whole the anti prohibitionists hai a great time. The Caief Justice of Maine has dsided, in the case of a person sentenced by a Police Court to fine and imprisonment for selling a glasa of liquor, that monicipal Judges and Jastices of the Parcs ‘have no jarisdiction for punishing liquor se ters, which can only be done by irdictment and trial by jary in the Supreme Court. The effect of this decision, it is said, will completely nullify the Liquor law in Main, By our despatch from Washington it will ba seen what Judge Mason, the Commissioner of Patents, has resigned, and that it is probable Mr. Shugert, ebief clerk in the Patent Office, will succeed him Eigh’een removals are stated to have bean made in the Treasury depaitment yesterday. Mr. Cramp- ton, the Britieh Minister, is said to have taken of. ferce at the admiristration for preventing the de- parture of recruits for the Crimes. By the steamsh’p St. Lawrence, Capt. Munro, arrived last evening, from Key West and Havana, we have dates to the 25th ult. Toe steamship Isabet arrived at Key Weat on the morning of the 25th. The city of Havana was quiet, and the island healthy. The U. 8. steamship Fulton, Capt Mitchell, was entering the harbor cf Havana when the I-abel left. Our correspondent at Rio ds Janiers, writiag on May 234, farnishes some interesting items regard- ing the diplomatic aod executive progress mide dately with regard to the navigation of the Amazon. An exibition of American manufactures and works of art had attracted much of the imperial and popular attention. Toe Emperor rejrices at tae extinction of the save trade and the prospect of mata ing a colonization scheme, The Know Nothing Stace Council of Georgia has been in session at Marion, in that State. They adopted the Georgia platform, and nominsted the Hop. Garrett Audrews as their candidate for (> verncr. Another mail robber, a clerk in the post offive at Chicago, has been arrested. Four thoasand dollars were found in his room, and it is believed that ten to fifteen thousand doilars had been sto.en from tae mails at that office. The sales of cotton yesterday were confined to some 600 to 700 bales; the market closed quite wteady. Holders were indisposed to meet buy- ers at the terms proposed. lofericr, common ard mediom grades of flour were heavy and iaclined to droop, while extra brands, though dali, were without change of moment. A small lot of Michigan white wheat was reported sold at $2.52. Indian corn was tolerably active, though without changs of moment in prices. Pork wes firm, with moderate transac- tions. The coffee market clred on the week's sales at an advance of about jc. per lb, Sugars closed at jc. to dc. perlb. lower. With the ex- ception of corm and cotton for Liverpool, rates were \gull and engagements light. Tue Weatuex.—Will Professor Meriam be good enough to inform the public when this « heated term” will be superseded by a cooler temperature? We all know what sort of ther we bad yesterday, and it does not re- quire a meteorologist, nor a prophet, to tell us gbat It was bot the day before, The Times and State Taxes. It is altogether a mistake to suppose that, because the last canal loaa could be sold at 118.76, or nearly one-fifth or twenty per ceat premivm, tnerefore the aff.irs of the State aud the fioancial coodition of the community are flourishing. Noman of any experieace ia Vall street needs to be told that money is worth more than five per cent per annam, and that State stocks are not worth two per cent more than federal securities bearing the same iute- rest. The high rate at which the canal loan was sold is no more evidence of the prosperity of the times than the exorbitant rents of the spring of 1853 were of that period. Both were instances of rash speculation—vaulsiag ambi- tion o’erleaping itself There is this differen:e between the two: no law obliges a man to take a dwelling house worth $2,000 a year, cra store worth $4,000; but there is a law which compels the banks to buy State securities, if they eeek to expand their paper. They may be no better than others; they may be really woree than stocks floating about in search of a purchaser below par; no matter, the law says they must be bought, and if a keen operator had the boldness to forestall the market, they may be run up, by the aid of what is technivally termed a corner, to fabulous prices. Hence the sale at 118.76. Neither the speculator to whom it was revealed by the spirits that these were the winning figures, nor the defeated bankers, believe for a moment that it would be wise or safe to give $118.76 fora rent of $6 per annum, to be paid by the State : they bid high figures-- the one party, because they needed the stocks as the tools of their trade—the other, becaase he knew they were wanted, and was probably engaged to pley the monopoly game. While some people in the city reason falsely from the award of the canal loan, a good many people in the country seem equally mystilied as to financial operations here. They take the stock list, and seeing a rise in this or that rail- road stock, or bond, argue that, “in New York, they are heving glorious times. Transactions to the extent of nearly twenty millions of dol- lars in a week!” &c., &c. This argues as mach ignorance as poor Mr. Clark showed when he preached against the sinfulness of stock job bing in his first annual message. The price of fancy stocks here, and the extent of dealingsin them are no criterion whatever of the condi- tion of the country, the prospects of the crops, or the profitableness of trade. They depend purely on the amount of money which hapyeas to be in the banks to be lent out on call at six per cent. When the banks have plenty of money to lend in this way, there is hardly a broker in the street who dovs not doa little in stocks on his own account, buying stock avd borrowing money from the baoks to carry it; and thus a rise in prices and an active mar- ket are inevitable. When, on the contrary, money is scarce, and the banks cannot lead the brokers money to speculate in stocks, prices fall, and those who have not money— that is to say nine out of ten dabblers ia stocks —sannot operate at all. It by no means ap- pears, however, that a tightness in the money market here is indicative of an uahealthy condi- tion of trade throughout the country. On tne contrary, it often occurs that trade is most prosperous when New York is most thoron snly drained of gold for the benefit of the rural cities; and it is certain that a long continued ease in the money market here, in the face of a steady export—indicating as it does a sacrifice of the country to this one city—must be fol- lowed by aperiod of severe stringency. Oar country friends, therefore, who are gloating over the prospect of flush times, because this or that railroad bubble is “ap,” had better do a little more thinking, and save their money awhile. The country lives still, but at the same time the crisis which begun last year is not over yet. Very few will believe us when we say s0; but when did the many ever display common sense? Ie it not their destiny to break their necks at intervals? The taxes are increasing, the canal reveaues are falling off, trade is assuming its old pro portions, men are launching out on their old scale, money flows like water in Wall street, and some of the more barefaced swindies of the last era of swindles have dared to thrust themgelves once more {nto light, Yet withal, the money put iu railroads three and four years sgo is none the less lost; with one or two ex- ceptions none of them will pay a dividend; ninety-nine hundredths of the corporate eater- prises of 1853 and 1854 have been abandoned; trade has not been profitable in more than oae great branch; real estate is far more of a drug than operators are willing to allow; gold goas abroad even faster than it did duriag the terri- ble months of last year, when the export fright- ened men’s lives out; the war continues with increased vigor, expense, and prospect of iojury to trade; and to add to all, the Prohibitory Liquer law is about to go into force, fatally injuring an extensive branch of commerc», ruining one-tenth part of the population, and leaving property worth over forty millions without a tenant. Here is small comfort for the sanguine. Far better had they use the briet remainder of the present good time in preparing for the coming trouble in August and September, than ia launching out into new speculations. There is no neea of more expansion or more enterprise. Let the banks curtail instead of expanding, and —if the move be productive of no other good— they may at all events rely upoa it that the speculators who are so smart in forestalling them will very soon be glad enough to be rid of the burthen. Athenwus tells a story of a Jew who, foreseeing a famine in some Mediter- ranean city, bought up all the flour and grain, and proposed to realise a fortune by selling them to his famishing neighbors: his plan was just on the poiat of being executed, be had bought the last sbipload of grain, and was car- rying the last rack—a heavy one—to his gra nary; when alas at that very momeat, his strength, which avarice bad so loog sastained, guve way, be tottered, his back broke, and he was found dead on the ground, the sack atop of him. There is a moral in the story for the mercentile commumty at large as well as the capal loan © peculators. Crrizes Rowrsvrenne McELeara.—It appears that the citizen lobespierre, as we always sus- pected, bas a plan for settling matters between his principles and hit conscience. He publishes very fierce articles in the Tribune, calling for blood and marder to put down rumselling; but in another journal of bis, which has jast mate its appearance, be avers that ‘he never goes be yond a half bottle of champegoe, or a pint of claret.” Good Lord!

What are your opinions, citizen Robas- plerre? Do you or do you not go for tempe- ance, citizen Robespierre McElrath? Are you or sre you not for shooting down people here on the 4th of July, citizen Robespierre. M.~ Ejrath, President of the Nassau Bank? rate Sea ™ alia Morsip Punic Se®rivent.— Some d2ys ago, in Brooklyn, a temale poisoned herself in com- pony witha young man. It has been ascer- tamed that she was a prostitate, named, or known by the name of Sarah Williams; that she bad Jopg maintained intimate relations with a foolich young man named Gustin, who had recently returoed trom Iowa. The precise euuse of the suicide is not known; but it is clear that both the deceased were iofirm of mind, and the chances are that they succumbed to one of those fits of il] temper and discouragement to which we all sre subject at some tiwe or other. After the suicide was discovered, the family of the young man rent the body of the girl to the dead house ; at which the public at large have murmured loudly, and even threatened the ob- noxious family with violence. By way of tes- tifying their disgust at their conduct, tne public have attended the girl’s funeral io crowds, and paid her as much respect as if she had been a useful public character or a fit model for the young girls of Brooklyn to imitate. God forbid that we should say s word that might lead to the persecution of the guiity be- yond the tomb. By all mesns let us carry out the beautiful philosophy of Thomas Hood, and remember that now, Past all dishonor, Death has left on her Osly the beautiful. But, mark you, Hood does not say that we ought to pay her honor. All he asks is that we “ lift ber up tenderly.” Whatever harshners may have marked the conduct of the Gustin family—of that we off-r no opinion— it is quite clear that the exuberant sympathy expressed for the dead girl was quite out of place. Hersuicide could not hallow her calling. That she went to her lover’s house and there put an end to her life does not alter the fact that it had been a very bad life, and the sooner ended the better. Moreover, in the whole story not a single redeeming or endear- ing trait has been brought to light. No one has come forward to swear anything of the dead woman that could excite our compassion. Her wickedness, her crime, her death and her name are all we know; and these tell so uniformly and heavily against her that we are not at all surprised that the warmhearted people of Brooklyn should have resorted to a pioas fraud to conceal at least the last, But itisa very bad sign when a man or a woman becomes an object of interest because they have committed suicide. It is a crime, not a virtuous act; a sign of cowardice or at least weaknees; and argues, in a mao, an utter ignorance of the main conditions of his being and the duties he was set to perform. In oldea times, a stake was driven through the body of asuicide. The idea was barbarous, but it was based on reason. Let us beware of glorifying thore whom the blunt common sense of anti- quity rightly classed among the malefactors. Tar Littte Vitatn—Tue Two Dromtos.— The temperance papers of the “rural districts’ insiet upon it that the “little villain” is with the liquor interest; but here, where they ought to know him better, they insist that he is but the echo of Greeley avd Governor Clark. Now, in this disagreement it is very likely there are two men who are confounded as one. There is Lieutenant Governor Raymond, for example pledged to the policy of prohibition; and there is H. J. Raymond, editor of the Times, who stoutly defended the liquor law veto of Gover- nor Seymour. The one is thus bound to the probibitory party, and the other to the liquor interest, as far as each can pursue his spirate policy without clashing. Hence the Times is astride the fence most of the time; but its shofilings are so suspicious that neither party bas any faith in it. Our cotemporary, there- fere, must soon decide upon the absolute rule of Lieutenant Governor Raymond, or plain Henry J. Raymond. It is difficult to gather Seward votes with one hand and liqaor adver- tisements with the other. A Loxa Noostna.—We observe that several cases of death from sunstroke are already re- ported. If the temperature of the atmosphere continues much longer at its present height, we fear that we shall have a mach larger number of these casualties than usnal. It would be prudent for those who are engaged in out of door work to come to some agreement with their employers, by which their labors should be commenced at an earlier hour—say four o’clock in the morning—and suspended whilst the sun is in its meridian. No employer, we are satisfied, would object to an arrange- ment which is absolutely necessary to the health and safety of those who work for him, His own interests would, in fact, be consulted by it, for it is physically impossible for labor- ers or artisans to put forth tbe ssme am-:unt of exertion under a ecorching sun that they would doin the cool atmosphere of the early morning. Let employers, therefore, revert generally to one of the good old customs of our forefathers, and indulge their men with a long nooning. Decrease or Immra@ration.—Recent statts- tics show that there has been a considerable falling off ot immigration to the United States during this year. It has been stated that the Know Notkings kept the immigrants away, but such does not seem to be the fact, as there has been a still greater per centage of reduction ia the arrivals at Quebec, which amouated on the 10th instant to about five thousand, a decrease of over twenty thousand compared with the corresponding period of last year. We opine that the large enlistment bounty offered in the United Kingdom has had the effect to cause many a fine fellow to become food for powder, who would otherwise have cast his lot on some of our lands at the West. The act in relation to en- cumbered estates has also had a very prosper ous effect in Ireland, and, altogether, that un- bappy country is ina better state than it has been at any time during the past two or three centuries, These, with other causes not #0 im- portant, have caused the number of immigrants to be reduced this year. It is still large enoagh for all practical purposes.

The fact is that in this com aunity, when a favatical legislative majority and their organs a‘tempt to fasten upoa the public a despotic aad ruinous act, like this new liquor law, which strikes directly or indirectly at the business and subsistence of two or three bun- dred thousand of our city population, there will be resistance agaiost it in every lawful shape and form, and against all concerged in passing or upholding it.
