Editor of this journal, sailed for Europe yester- day noon, on the steamship Baltic. Mr. Bennett goes to Europe at the present time in view of the remarkable events in poli. tics and war which are daily transpiring, and . Which threaten to shake the dynasties of the “Old World to their foundations, and to have no little effect on the prosperity and political posi- tion of the United States of America. Mr. Bennett while abroad will perfect the already extensive correspondence of the New York Heravp, in Eastern, Western, Central and Southern Europe, and will thus give to the American people faithful, impartial and detailed accounts of the momentous contest now being waged by three of the greatest Powers in Christendom. The arrangement of the details connected with the correspondence of the New York Herarp will detain Mr. Bennett in Europe two or three months. The News. ‘The arrival of the steamship Pacific at this port yesterday, places us in possession of some additional ‘and more authentic details respesting the severe ehe:k experienced by the Allies in the affair of the 18th of Jane. Inthe former accounts it was stated ‘that the heavier portion of the loss incarred on that occasion had fallen on the British, bat a.cording to @ dispatch from General Peliasier, and a statement in Parlisment from Lord Palmerston, the greater bare of the casualties seams to have been on the side of the French. The whole loss to the Allies in Killed and wounded was about 4.000, and out of that mamber the English loss was only 1,295, the French making up the balance. The English, however, bed more than double the numbar of officers pat hors du combat. In the Paris correspondence of the London 7 mes it is stated that complaints have been forwarded home to his government by General Pelissier of deficiency of euergy and proper sup- port in the affair of the 18th on the part of Lod Raglan. Communications are said to have passed between the English and French Cabinets on the wabject, and it was rumored that the English general bad applied for leave to retire, on the plea of ilmess. This Iatrer statement had, how- ever, been formally contradicted by Lord Pal merston in the House of Commons, and the yeport probably only originated in the general anxiety felt in England to see a more efficient officer wabstituted for the present Commander-in-Chic!, The Times accurately aums up his lordship’s merits when it saya that the English people ‘‘sent out Lord Raglan more as a military negotiator, to keep on good terms with their Alles, than a4 a general, to be guided by purely military considerations.” Not- withstanding their late repulse, the Allies are repre- nented to be steadily gaining ground in the siege, and in a late despawnh it is stated that they had ob- tained possession of one or two others of the Ras- sian positions. Cholera has, however, commanced its Tavagesin their ranks, and several distinguished English officers have fallen victims to the diseuse. ‘Tho verrels and troops composing the Kertch expedition had returned to Kam:sch and Balaklava, after leaving a strong gatrison at Yentkale, which commands the dea of Azoff. I: ia now certain that an expedition wiil bs despatched to Parekop, to cut off tne Rassian supplies. Taen the investment of the Crimea by the allies will be complete. The Baltic fleet has commenced operations, by tise bombardment of Hango and 3weaborg. Atthe former the telegraph station and at the latter all the stores are stated to nave been destroyed. At the last accounts the combiaed fleeta were reported to have been off Cronatad:. Forty-six of Profesor Jacobi’s iuvernat mashines had been fished up and rendered harmless. One of them, however, ex- ploded on the poop of the Exmoath aad inflicted pevere injuries on Admiral Seymour and Captaia Louis, who were examining it rather too curiously. There is some further taik sbont Lord Dandonald being sent out to operate against the Baltic ports with his submarine batteries. Itia probable, how- ever, that, like those of the Germaa Protessor, their vaunted effects will tarn oat tobe merely smoke. Majors Delafield and Mordacai, and Captaia Mc- Clelland, the officers of the United Staves Army sent out by our governmen: to study the art of war im the Crimea, having beea refased permission to join the French army before Sebastopol, proceeded to St. Petoraburg, where their request for leave to vielt the Russian fortresses in ordor to watch the progress of affairs was declined by the autporities. Having failed in the object of their mission, they will immediately retarn home. Toe Londoners have taken a sensible and effective mode of putting a check to the efforts of certain aristocratic social reformers to limit their amuse- ments aud enjoyments by Sunday trading and tem. Perance enactments. They atop the carriages of the nobility on the Sabbath, and compel them to walk to church. There is nothing like applying the re- ductio ad abswrdum to the visionary theories of ‘these lordly and selfish Pharisees. The lesson migh: be tarned to useful account at our side of the water. The commercial news by this srrival is important. Consols and cotton had advanced, but breadstalfs and provisions were rather dull.

Our Acapalco correspondent, writiag on the 231 of June, furnishes some very interesting particulars with regard to the position and prospects of late contending parties in Southern Mexico. After re~ ti ing ‘rom Coilvancingo, Santa Auna’s forces were surrounced by the revolutioniry generals, walt sag- plied with infantry, cavalsy, artillery and amauni- nition, Their names and head quaiter stations ara noted. Alvarez was enjoying an unbonnded popu- larity at Texca, near the city of Acapnico, The people are pantiog for freedom. Some railway and marine items are given. The Bauke:s’ State Convention at Syracuse ad journed s ne die yesterday, after adopting a plan for the redemption in New York o'ty of the notes of the various banks of the State. A synopsis of tha plan may be fouad under the telegraphic head. In the Board of Aldermen last evening, a long and warm debate arose on resolutions offsred on the subject of the raising of the wreck of the ship ‘Joseph Walker. The conduct of the Mayor was atropgly censured by some of the members of the Board, whilat others defended the course he had pursued in this particular matter. The resslutions in themselves are particularly pointed, and will be found in our report of the proceedings. The matter was ultimately postponed until the first Monday in August. The Board of Councilmen met: last evening, but their proceedings possess no importance whatever. The Board of Supervisors transacted business yesterday. <A report of their proceedings is given in another column. There was a large meeting of working men held at 163 Bowery last evening, at which resolations de- nouncing the plan of cleaning the streets by con- tract, and of employing street sweeping machines, were adepted. Among other things, it was stated that a report prevailed that Mayor Wood was pesu niarily interested in the machines, which he wishes to place upon the streeta asa private speculation. We suspect the laborers are, in this movement, the dupes of designing political rogues. The firat seizures of liquor in this vicinity, under the probibitory law took place in Williamsburg yesterday. Two lots were seized, one valued at $2,000, and the other at $500. The counsel of the associated liquor dealers attended to the cases, in all of which decisions were postponed. The News from Europe—Thne War. As we conjectured, the losses of the British in the attack of the 18th June were much ex- aggerated at first. It appears that 5,000 will be likely to cover the total allied loss in killed wounded and missing; the English losing less than 1,300 in all, of whom not quite 200 are killed. Naturally, the news produced more depression in England than in the camp, where, according to the correspondent’s letters, the men had been for come time chafing at inac- tion, and were not likely to have been discou- raged by their losses of the 18th. Those who are best qualified to judge are of opinion that the Allies will proceed with unabated per- severance to a second and if need bea third attack on the Redan; in short that they will not slacken their efforts or endeavor to econo- mize life until the object of the campaign is accomplished. It is clear, however, that very few indeed either in the Britich army or the British gov- ernment realize, or venture to express their convictions with regard to the obstacles which must fairly be expected. The Pacific brings us an account of an important debate which took place in the House of Lords on the 26th of June on the position of Germany. From the remarks made by the foreign minister Lord Clarendon, it is plain that Austria has formal- ’y eevered the bond which united lier with the Western Powers, and placed herself in a posi- tion to preserve that neutrality which her weakness and proximity to the battlefield demand of her. Lord Clarendon states posi- tively that the Western Powers are free of Austria; which means tbat Austria is ree of them, and tbat, while she will hold the Principalities a3 a material guarantee for her own safety, she will economise by disbanding the bulk of her army, and set the mind of Russia at rest. This, we Jearn has already been done; and in conse- quence, the finest of the Russian corps d’armée which were stationed en observation between the Dnieper and the Dniester has received orders to march to the Crimea forthwith. A portion of it was understood to have reached Perekop at the time the news left, and was shortly expected at Sebastopol. Thus whether the reports that have lately been spread of the want of men among the Russians be true or Dot, it is quite certain that no such waat will be feit from this time forth; the Czar will have no difficulty in concentrating half a miliion of men in the Crimea—and this is considerably more than the Allies can muster for the attack. Again, the rnmors we have so freqnently heard ot disputes between the allied command ers appear to have now reached a culminating point. Canrobert and Saint Arnaud piqued themselves upon their French politeness; Pe- lissier on his brutality; no wonder that gentle weak old Lord Raglan findsit difficult to get on with him. In Paris when the steamer left, it was currently reported that the attack on the Malakoff would have succeeded but for the errors of the British generals. Tnat the French should, in the first moment of defeat, turn upon the British officers and charge the accident to their incapacity, is by no means wonderful, as the British press have not spared the blunders of these very men, nor do they appear to have deserved to be spared. At the same it is not to be expected that they will have the disinterestednces to see or the can- dor to admit their own faults; and so long asabad feeling exists between them and their allies, it would be quite vain to look for any- thing but Russian successes. It was General Scott’s remark, on reading the news from the Crimea, that in bis opinion the most formida- ble obstacle the Allies had to contend with was & divided command; Lord Raglan has verified the observation, and now it is said, and thoagh contradicted, ie probably trae, that he has sought and obtained leave to return home. Finally, remain the obstacles to which we have all along drawn attention. First among these stands the sauitary condition of the army which fally realizes the worst that was feared. “Balaklava,” suys a well informed correspond- ent, “is a plague spot; the harbor is like a fetid ditch, and death in the form of fever and cho- lera reign supreme.’ Several leading officers, including General Marmora of the Sardinian contingent (the commander’s brother) and General Eetcourt of the British staff have died: out of S00 Sardinians attacked over 300 felt victims; itis greatly to be feared that as the heat increases the violence of the epidemics will keep pace with it. As to the progress of the sieve it appears that the Redan, Mulakoff and ad- joining works are stronger than ever, and that the Russians are o¢ nstantly oceapied in erecting new batteries, aod strengthening their old ones. Instead ot shelling the shipping, as it was | confidently aseerted the Allies would be ena- bied to do from the Mawelon, it would seem that their whole energy is neo easarily di. rected fo erecting defences egainst the | League? fire which they expect the Russian vessels to open upon them, On the whole, we remember no period in the history of the Crimean expedition at whieh the prospects of the Allies appeared mere gloomy than at present. Their euemy is m- daunted; Gortechakoff never wrote more plea- santly or more confidently; the dangdr of a coulition against Russia is removed; the whole of its immense army—now actually 1,500,000 strong—is placed at liberty to defend the points attacked on its shores; tae Allies are losing their chiefs; disease is thinning their ranks; defeat is impairing their confidence; division in the camp is diminishing the chances of com- bined and therefore successful exploits. The only point, which it can be of the leavt real use te the Allies to gain at present—the isthmus of Perekop—is neglected until the incapables who manage the dockyards can find it convenient to construct gun boats. On the other band, the prospects of a strong Popular movement in England become more and more promiving. A day or two before the steamer sailed Charles Dickens delivered an admirable and telling speech before the reform association, pointing as clearly to a republican destiny for England as would could. On the Sunday previous, crowds assembled in the parks, stopped all the carriages of the nobility, and obliged the distinguished occupants—male and female—to descend and go tochurch. The pretext for this little emeute was a bill recently introduced into Parliament by a Lord Grosve- nor, to shut up all beer shops aud other retail establishments on Sanday: the poorer classes viewed this very properly as an attack upon them, and resented it by compelling all the members of the aristocracy they could find to go tochurch forthwith. Prince Albert’s ridi- culofis speech at the reform association, in which he seems to hint that England would be far better off if it were a despotic monarchy governed by a Coburg than it is at present, is attracting some attention, some merriment, and some anger. Altogether it looks as though the democratic and revolutionary movement in England was seiting out ona solid sober and respectable basis. If it is once fairly started, it will be beyond the power even of victory to stay its course. European Travet.—The Baltic sailed yes- terday for Liverpool with over two hundred passengers, including Judges Denio and Wil- liame, of the Court of Appeals; Mr. Bucking- ham Smith, Secretary of Legation to the American Minister at Madrid; Col. John S. Williams, of Kentucky; Dr. Baird, of New York, a delegate to the French Evangelical Alliance to meet in Paris next month; Col. C. C. Holbrook, of Boston ; James R, Ander- son, tragedian; Capt. Theodore H. Allen, of California; and many others from all parts of the United States, The European travel this summer is unprecedented. The steamships by every line go crowded; and so great is the Tush that extra berths are frequently indispen. sable. In the Bultic’s passenger list nearly every State in the Union is represented, in- cluding Kentucky, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana, and California. The re-unions of friends on board the steamers just before sail- ing is often quite unexpected, as a voyage to Europe has lately got to be considered a matter hardly worth mentioning until an hour or so before departure. The tourist then packs his carpet beg, takes a car or stage, jumps out at the foot of Canal street, finds a pleasant party on board the ship, and passes ten days on the Atlantic as comfortably as in a first rate hotel. There is no stronger mark of the progressive Anglo-Saxon spirit than the restlessness of our people. They are continually travelling some- where—now ascending Mont Blanc—then ex- ploring the head waters of the Mississippi—now gossiping at Niagara—then examining the state of things at Sebastopol—now polking in a Paris salon, and again hunting tigers in East Indian jungles. The American traveller always ac- commodates himself to circumstances, and is the only real cosmopolite. Grave Occupation or aN Amertcan Mivts- Ter AproaD.—The Paris journals notice, with a certain degree of importance, the fact of one of our ministers having been recently engaged in that city in a game calculated to draw out the highest exercise of his powers of skill, pru- dence and combination. The functionary in question is Mr. O'Sullivan, our Minister to Lisbon; and the serious game which has re- cently abeorbed his attention and attracted the notice of the Paris journalists, was nothiag more nor less than a partie of chess with one of the expert chess players of that metropolis It may be a matter of felicitation to the Ame- rican people that in these stirring times of universal war, our ministers abroad have nothing more important to do than sit dowa quietly in a café and study the moves of their kings, queens, knights, castles, bishops aad pawns. Weare sorry, however, to see that Mr. Pierce has not been more fortunate in his selection of foreign ministers in regard to their chess playing qualifications than he was as to their diplomatic abilities. Outof a rubber of twenty-seven games, Mr. O'Sullivan was only the victorin three. His opponent was too able for him, and check: mated him at bis ease. We imegine that the fortune of our Minister to Portugal, in his game of chess, is only too truly typical of the miserable failure of our present set of diplomats abroad in everything that they undertake. But lackily neither he nor they were not sent there to engage in any serious business, and 80 we may say to them, Vive la bagatelle! Ovr Pronmrrony Liqvor Law —Our liquor Jaw isan abortion—a humbug—a nuisance—a perfectly dead letter. Except in the occasional arrest of a man overburdened with liquor, we are not aware that it isin the slightest degree respected, from Coney Island to Lake Erie. The Germans quaff their lagerbier in larger quantities than ever, the Irish their whiskey, the French their wines, aud the natives a little of every thing, as if it were a virtue thus to ex- press their open defiance of this senseless Jaw for the encouragement of hard drinking. The liquor eellers have also the advantage of free trade. No licenses are granted, so they have none to pay for. The law is thus a perfect god- send to the low grog shops, where the iniqui ties of bad liqnor and hard customers are most abundant. In a word, trom the practical work- ing of this law, profeseedly intended for the to- tal abolition of liquor drinking, human inge- nuity conid not devise a more enccessful expe dient for the eneouragement of intemperance. Seeing is believing. What will be the next vice of our Seward reformers for the improve: ment of the morala of the community, it is im- possible to gaews, Where is the Carson ‘A New Southern Party—The Democracy and | the nichmond Enquirer. The Richmond Enquirer, in opposition to | the late movement in Georgia to organize a | purely Southern party, devotes a long article to show that no such party is necessary to maintain the rights of the South; but that, on the contrary, the rights of the South and the North are perfectly secure under the broad sheltering wings of the existing democratic party. Let us briefly look into this deceptive argument, Our Richmond cotemporary sets ou’ with the high-sounding declaration that “at no period of our history has the democratic party occupied 8 position so strong, commanding and conserva- tive as it now mainiains,”” What democratic party? That of New York, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Ohio, or Michigan? No; for in all these States the democratic party has been swept almost literally from the face of the earth, Our Virginia cotemporary means the democratic party of the Old Dominion; for he says, “by its manly and victorious resistance of the fickle and persecuting spirit of Know No- thingism it hae thrown tha’ party into panic and contusion,” &c. And yet as we follow him slog in his special pleading we find an apolo- gy for the Jate shortcomings of the Northera democracy; and that they, too, are included in this ever reliable and invincible democratic party. The gravity and the coolness with which the merits of this imaginary national democratic organization are summed up by the Enquirer are certainly very refreshing and consoling in this hot month of July. Hear him—hear what this Richmond cabinet organ democrat firmly believes :— ‘We firmly believe that the democratic party, as now composed and organized, is adequate and ready to secure to the North and the South, the Kast and the West the peacefal enjoyment of their several rights and immnuni- ties, The ran! file of the party was never firm+r, truer, sounder: its executive head has approved ita decision, its moderation and its firmness, not oly in the matter of Burns at Boston, of Kansas and Neoraska, but in the more recen: ‘ peine forte ct dure’? to whien it has subjected the recreant Reeder. “The democratic party, as now composed and orgapized!” Looking at its scattered re- mains, from New Hampshire to Missouri, we had supposed the party to be decomposed and disorganized. “The rank and file never truer.” Here we are puzzled again ; for while our hard sheils continue to repudiate and denounce the administration as a treacherous concern and a most inglorious faiture, even the softs are be- ginning to give Mr. Pierce the cold shoulder. We are also fearful that while the hards, bag and baggage, ane sliding off to the Know Nothings, the softs are hankering for another Buffalo platform; and that to this end they are casting sheeps’ eyes at, and coquetting with the Seward anti-slave- ry alliance. ‘‘Composed ani organized!” Downright glad are we to hear it. We had feared that the call of a hard State convention in September, and another of the softs in Au- gust, indicated that there was nothing “com- posed” or “ orgauized,” or likely to be, between the two democratic factions of New York; bat that they were as bitterly hostile to each other now as were Daniel S. Dickinson and William L. Marcy on the day of the nomination of Franklin Pierce for the Presidency at Balti- more. It appeare, however, that in all this we have been eomehow or other bamboozled—that the democracy are not broken up, routed and de- moralized; but that they are “organized, com- posed,” ard were ‘never firmer, truer and sounder,” than just at this very time. Better still, the administration, which so many thou- sands of good men and true condemn as treacherous, faithless and ruinous to the ge- nuine democratic party, is declared to be all right and tight, and sound as aroach. Our facetious Cabinet organ at Richmond assures us that there is no mistake about it. It refers to the course of Mr. Pierce in the case of the fugitive Burns, and upon the Kansas and Ne- braska bill; and in the case of the “recreant Reeder,” as proofs that the administration aad the democratic party are a unit. Let us, then, rejoice; for assuredly the coun- try is safe. What care we if Congress has been revolutionized by the opposition, if tue democracy have been everywhere defeated and routed except in Virginia, and only saved in that State by the almost saper- human energy and labors of “a recreant whig.” What care we, if we have lost Cuba and diegraced our diplomats abroad in the estimation of all Europe, and of all parties at home, so that the democratic is firm and sound, (what there isJeft of it,) and stands approved by the administration? Let the worst come to the worst, we are at length assured that the country is safe, The ultra secession democrats of the South are accordingly requested to retrace their steps. The free soil tendencies and associations of the administration and the New York soft shells were naturally calculated to mislead the cburch South into the belief that no Northern party could any longer be trusted. Bu‘ with all theee positive assurances from the Rich- mond Enquirer, that the democratic party is “organized,” “composed,” “sound” and “firm,” and that it is approved by Mr. Pierce, this new Southern party must knock under. We have, however, one little question to ask of our Cabinet cotemporary at Richmond. What was the recent “peine forte et dure” to which Mr. Pierce bas subjected the recreant Reeder? We all know that Reeder was sent back to Kan- fas as the Governor of the Territory, notwith- standing his free soil land speculating affiliations. Can it be that the late personal assault upon him out there was a preconcerted thing be~ tween Mr. Pierce and the terrible Stringfellow? Is this the “peine forte et dure’’ to which the “recreant Reeder” has been subjected? Seriously, in conclusion, can the Richmond Enquirer entertain the atsurd idea that this stuff and nonsense of the union and firmness of the democratic party will find a dozen beliey- ers in the United States? We tell our cotem- porary that there can be no anion nor firmness, soundness or efficiency in the democracy short of a reconstruction of the party upon a com- mon agreement fo abandon and repudiate the aéministration, Every possible expedient has been tried in this State to bring about a recon. ciiation between’ the hards and softs upon every concession except the opeo repadiation | 4) of Mr. Pierce, aud they have ali failed, And if our soft shells insist upon sticking to him and his kitchen cabinet, and Marcy & Co, next No- vember the hords will be fouad with the Know Nothings. Finally, looking to the Philwtetphia American platform, we agree quirer thas there is no necessity tor au inde perdeut Southero party, with the Ea Novas ti teitigence, The Un'ted States piesa frigate Saranso arrived at Gibraltar June $, and eviled ogain om tae lita Aveusr Stare Execrioys—Tue Kyow No- THINGS.—The States of Alabama, Arkansas, Towa, Kentucky, Mis-ouri and Texas, hold their State elections on the first Monday in August ; Tennessee op the first Thursday of the same month, and North Cerolina on the recond Thursdsy. The most impor‘ant of these elec- tions will be those of Kentucky, Tennessee sad North Caroliva, for they comprehend the elxc- tion of some thirty odd members of Congress. They are generally whig States, Kentacky and Tennessee baving voted for General Scott ia 1852 with Marsachosetts and Vermoat—two States inthe South and two in the North. The vote, however, was close in North Carolina, though it has since ben carried by the demo- crats, At present in Kentucky, Tennessee, and North Carolina, the whig party is merged io the new Americen party, asin the late Virgi- nia election. The results will be mide mani- feet in August. In the Virginia canvass the Know Nothings had to contend against their ruinous affiliations with the Massachusetts abo- litionized Know Nothing party and others of the same echool in other Northern States. Bat at the late Philadelphia Council the party was purged of these unwholesome and sedi- tious associations, and now ia the South they stand upon that solid “live oak” national plat- torm adopted at Philadelphia—that constitu- tional and conservative plattorm of non inter- vention by Congress on the question of slavery. The party in New York stand upon that plat- form, and it on!y needs a good lift in the South to bring up the Know Nothing; of Penusyl- vania, New Jersey, and other Midd e Sta‘es to the same national rule of action, They are awaiting the movement of the waters in the South. t. The American party, we observe, in the three States indicated are confident of success. In Tennessce they huve secured a powerfal ally in the person of Andrew Jackson Donelson, who bas taken the field upon the practical issue of driving out the present Pierce dynasty from the goverpment at Washington, and of substi- tuting a new, positive aod progressive adminis- tration in its place. Thisis the true issue for the forthcoming elections North and South, for it will be the great and controlling issue in 1856. Let the Know Nothings in Kentucky and North Carolina pursue the policy of Donel- son in Tennessee, and they may count upon a good report in August, and a good report from New York in November. Keep this faithless administration before the people. Lovnerxa iv Broapway.—Some of the pru- dish people about town have been writing to the papers, complaining that strangers stand in front of the fashionable hotels on the “dollar side” of Broadway, and look at the ladies as they pass by. No one hotel or popular resort is more the rendezvous of these lookers on in Vienna than another. It is very distressing to some, without doubt, but we can see no remedy for it unless the ladies all wear thick veils, or walk on the other side of the street, News- pepers have lately been overburdened with complaints aa silly as this. The groans of the complainants are greater nuisances than the matters which they are so anxious to reform. THE LATEST NEWS. BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS, From Washington.
