The News. ‘The Hermann did not leave port yesterday. O wing ‘to some slight derangement in her machinery, Captain Higgins deemed it his duty to remeia in port and have it properly repaired. This was the wight course to pursue. Although the deraage ‘ment is slight, and Capt. HL. might bave crossed the Atlantio witbout difficulty, yet it wae judicious to @elay his departure and have everything safe, sure and round. Ali the passengers, 2 list of whom we give in another column, coincided with Captein Wiggins, aud they are anug and comfortable on board the Hesmsnn, in thestream. he will leave on Mcnday noon, acd will take as many more passen- gers a8 may wish to visit Eur pe. This is the first time the Hermann has been detained in any way; her trips have been remarkably regular and free from sccidents. The official report of the City Inspector for the past week shows a gratifying decrease ou the bills of mortality as compared with that of the week pre- vious. This coneolatory fact is, of course, due to tbe unusually cool and plessant.wea‘her with which we have lately been favored. There wore 497 @eatha in thia city during the past week, viz.:—70 men, 41 women, 211 boys, and 175 girls. These mumbere show's decrease of 49 on the mortality of ‘the previous week. As usual, the preponderance of deaths are those of juveniles, there being no fewer @an 376 deaths of children under 10 years of age. The principal causes of death were as follows :— Apoplexy, 6; bronchitis, 6; cholera, 2; cholera marbus, 2; consumption, 48; congestion of the brain, 14; diarrhoea, 23; dysentery, 12; scarlet fever, 18; cholera infantum, 57; inflamma tion of the brain, 12; ditto of the jungs, 9; convulsicas (infantile), 54; marasmus (infantile), 39; meaales, 10; hooping cough, 10; smallpox, 3; sun” stroke, 2; and dropsy in the head, 25. There were 10 premature birth+, and 29 cases of atill-bora; it is gratifying to find that only 2 deaths have occurred from exporure to the sun’s heat, and but 14 feom violent causes. The fcllowing is the classification of diseaser:—Bones, joints, &c., 2; brain and nerves, 128; generative organs, 1; heart and blood vessels, 7; lungs, throat, &c., 92; oidage, 4; skin, &c., and era. tive fevers, 38; stillborn and premature birth, 39; stomach, bowels, &c., 167; uncertain seat and general fevers, 15; aoknown, 1; urinary organs, 3, Of the total number, 38 were inmates of the public institutions. Ths nativity table gives 402 natives of the United States, 47 of [reland, 27 Germany, 10 of England, 8 unknown; the remainder bxog com posed of naiives of various European countries. Our Washington correspondent, it will bs sesa, states that the appoiniment sought for by Mr Pryor, of Richmond, is up to this time withheld, and that Marcy and Cushing are still hie deter. mined opponents in the matter; while Fornsy and the Kitchen Cabinet are a» sternly vice versa. Mr. Wa'do, Commissioner of Pensions, returaed to Washington last evening. The Jadgeship of Connecticut has been accepted by him, and he will remain in Washicg‘on untli the lst of August, Mr. Wheeler, the Nicaragua Mivister, mill lyave Washington this morning for this city, aud will af- terwards rail thence for Central America. The recently elected Virgiuia members of Con- grees, Messrs. Faulkuer aud Bovock, were at Wash- ington yesterday. Ta the United States Commiesioner’s Cont in Cia, cinnati, yesterday, Consul Rowcroft was held to ba'l in the sum of $2,000, on a eharge of enlisting troops for the British service in the Crimea. Measrs, Turnbull and Hamilton were also held iu $1,000 each, and Capt. Pashuer in his own recognizance, to appear before the Uniied States Court to answer @ similar charge. Capt. McKay, the agent of the British government, was absent on account of sick- ness, and his friends, therefore, entered into the requisite security for bis fature appearance. The following, among others, for State officers, were nominated by the Ohio Republican Conven- tien on Friday eveniog last :—For Governor, Hon. Salmon P. Chase; Lieutenant Governor, T. W. Ford. These and the other officers who reeived nominations on the sam» occasion, are regarded as composing a strong ticket. The Legislature of New Hampsiire adjourned yesterday. Before adjourning, however, they passed the anti-slavery resolutions, presented sone two weeks since by Mr. Tappan, of the lower house, after an excited debate. The demuvcratic pro slavery resolutions were rejected. the National Guerds returned to the city yester. day, after their week's sojourn at Camp Worth, at Kingston. Their excursion baa been a pieasant one in all save the closing aceres, over which a gloom was cast by the deplorable acciden¢ men- tioned in yesterday’s Heratp. A fall account of the encampment aud its attending scenes is given ina letter from a correspondent, which will be found elsewhere, We lay pefore our readers a variety of correapon- dence from different sections of the country; iacladed in which will be found letters from Albany, Ro- cheater, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, &:. Their acsounta of local politics and current évents will be found very entertaining. Our Key West correspondent furnishes an inte- reating letter, describing the stirring scenes which took place there on the Fourth of July, at the cele bration of our national Saniversary, The weather ‘was exceedinuly fine. The steamship Isabel arrived at Charleston, yea terday, bringing dates to the 10th inst. There was BO news of importance. On onr inside pages will be found a number of very interesting extracts from our foreign files, which will repay @ perusal. The number of deaths in Boston for the week ending Joly 14 were fifty-nine. Capt. Hall of schooner Fiying Eagle, recently sold at Meibourne, arrived yesterday in the ship John Cottrell from Liverpool. We are indebted to Capt. HH. for despatches. Owing to a sort of stampede yesterdiy among the merchants for the couvtry, to remain absent over Sunday, trade in a general way was less ani- mated. The sales of cotton were restricted to some 00 @ 800 bales, though prices cloved firm. Flour 6was dull, and common grades Inclined 9 droop. Corn sold to the extent of about 50,000 to 60,000 buehela, at 890.0 91t., chiefly at 90c. for Western mixet. Pork was active and higher, with sales of abc ut 1,200 bbis., at $19 75 a $19 87 for new mess, with a email lot at $20, the highest price reacted io this merket for @ corsiderable length of time. bogors were firm, and o flee withvat change of m» mint. Freights were dull. Our Summer Watering Piaces—Dall Times, and the Measoas why. From the Rip Reps to Nahant, from Coney Island to Niagara, there never has been, we dare say, & more generally liberal expenditure for the comfortable reception of the public at our summer watering places than has been staked upon the expected business of the pre- rent season. At cur populer seaside resorts, ‘and at the various choice localities of our sum- mer birds of pleasure, old places and new, ‘among the hills, mountains, lakes, rivers aod *prings of the interior, hote|'heepers aod board- ing-hou-e proprietors, grect and smal!, have vied with each other in their preparations for & brisk season, and a golden harvest And what ie the resul: ? General diseppolatment and com- paratively empty houses The season has hardly commenced when the carnival should be at ite height. What deleys our summer birds of papeage to the seashore, the lakes, the springs and the mountaias’ Whither have they flown’ These brief inquiries may be briefly answered, alshough they cover a werk of interesting facts, suggestions and admovitions, The principal and the more immediate causes of this present anpromising otate of things at our summer resorts are—the speculative bubble of 1853——the war, the drought, the pes- tilence aud famine, aod the faancial reaction of 1854—the hard times with the middiing classes in squaring up their accounts for 1555, and the attractions of oar Atlaotic steamers anda trip to Europe to our wealthy people, to whom Saratoga hes become a “ thrice told tale "—Newport @ perfect bore, and Niagara a vulgar locality of suspension bridges, locomo- tives, saw mills and pail factories. The bubble of 1853 was blown up chiefly by our New York Crystal Palace. It was the ad- ditional feather which breke the camel's back, in the impetus which it gave to our foreign imports and to our domestic sales and comeump- tion of foreign goods; and in the correspond- ing impulse given to the prices. of houses and lots, and ali sorts of speculations in real estate, stocks and kite-fiying experiments. Rents went up, new buildings went up on every hand, labor went up. Money was abundant, credit was abundant, and there was abundance of employment and subsistence for ali classes. Extravagance followed, in fashionable trip- peries avd follies; while the yellow fever, in New Orleans and along the Mexican Gulf, drove thousands of wealthy Southern people to the North tor the summer. Our seashore fashionable caravansaries were crowded, and our most inaccessible mountain corners were overrun with strange visiters. The city of New York was never so full of people before, and our hotels were never so crowded with liberal cash-paying customers. Such was the grand carnival of speculation, extravagance and tolly of 1853; but the bill of the pipers brought up the reaction in 1854, in double quick time. The exporting houses of Europe calle® upon our importers, and they upon the merchants of the interior, and so on until the whole commu- nity were involved in the hard business of col- lecting money for the debts and expenses of 1853. Then came on the war with Russia, our general drought, the cholera, the Schuyler frauds, fires, floods, and a succession of marine disasters, never experievced within so short a time before. There was a general panic, a general suspension or curtailment of business of all kinds, and the imminent hazard of a general revulsion, like that of 1837, stared us boldly in the face. Stocks, real estate, build- ings, everything, except the prime necessities of life, went down with # run, while breadstutls and provisions went up to famine prices, Thus, the winter of 1844-5 presented the extraordinary anomaly of a state of suf- fering from starvation among the uuem- ployed thousands of our working classes of the North, scarcely without a parally) since the bread riots in Paris, which ushered in the horrible first French revolution. The spring of 1855 came slowly to our relief. Credit and business had received a shock from which neither prudence, nor econoimy, nor re- turning confidence and capsbilities for active enterprises could speedily restore. us Gra dually, however, as the prospect of abounding crops has brightened into fruition, the pressure upon us has been lessened, until at length the whole business community has risen again to its feet, somewrat feeble and trembling still, from its late prostration, but still gradually recovering strength. Yet, while the workiog classes have had to commence life over again— all their little savings of past years having been absorbed—the solid middle ranks of society have so far suffered from the “ hard times’ that they have little or nothing to spare for a summer frolic to the seashore or the mountains. On the other band, our wealthy citizens, who have escaped the apprehended disasters of another epoch like that which was wound up in the general baukrupt law of 1841, and who feel that they may congratulate themselves upon the prospects before us, feel, too, that |" they are authorized to enjoy the summer upon @ liberal scale. And so, Saratoga, Newport, Niagara and such places, hav- ing become an old story; and Paris, under the auspices of Louis Napoleon, the Em- press and their Crystal palace, having become all the rage, our accustomed visiters to the seaside and the interior of our own country, are off by the Collins, Cunard acd Havre steamers to England, Paris, the Rhine, the Alps and Italy. With the opening of the great Crystal Palace at London, in 1851, when these universal expositions were a new thing under the sun, John Bull, the Gauls, the Germans, the Swiss and Italians, were astonished at the in- vasion of the Yankees into their respective countries, and at the unlimited wealth which they seemed to commaad. Hence, no doubt, a considerable additional impulse was given to the other causes of that mighty exodus from Germany to the United States of 18525. But the American travel to Europe this year far exceeds that of 1851. Our ocean steamers have made the trip over the Atiantic so comfort- able, cheap and attractive, and railroads and other facilities have rendered a rua over the old continent so easy, quick and in- viting, that Paris and Europe are all the fashion. Such are the reasons which, we think, will account for the dull season and thin attendauce at our summer Watering places. Hard times, toa great extent, have deprived one class of visiters of the means for this indalgence ; and Europe has drawn off another class, who have worn out the novelties of the neighborhood around us, and are ambitious of a smattering of French gossip and the on dits of a Coutinen tal trip for home consumption in the wiater. Why should the Joneses snub the Browns with their reminiscences of Europe, when the Browns can afford to go? And so the Browns and the Smiths are all going, or gone. We hope, however, that our seaside and country summer recreiting places will yet be enabled to render in a good report. The season has been more backward than ueual, and it may last longer, and thus it may still return its usual dividends. So mote it be. Wuat Becomas or THe Cativornia GoLp?— Half a million, a million, a million and a half ot gold arrive here every two or three weeks, consigned to half a dozen individuals—the same individuals by every steamer. To whom does this immense treasure belong? Whither does it all go? The yield of the California gold mines, after reaching the sea ports of the United States, hys again been distributed broadcast over the whole country. The bi-monthly receipts of gold dust, usually consigned to a few persons, actual- jy belongs to, and is forwarded to hundreds, if not thonsands of individuals, ecattered over the States, from the Atlantic to the fron- tiers of tne West, and trom Maine or the Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico. Almost every tewa, vidage and hamlet have contained recipients of gold dust. Moreover, every Cali- fornia steamer arrives crowded with passengers, among whom all the States of the Union are urually represented. They land possessed with more or less gold, obtained, it may be, and most commonly is, by hard digging in the mines, We learn from Messrs. Wells, Fargo & Co., that the large sums of gold dust consigned to them have dratts drawn againet thém, which are very numerous. Thus, on one occasion, the list of drafte drawn against the consigament of between two and three hundred thoueand dollars . worth of dust, filled about thirty pages of large size cap writing paper. These drafts em- braced every variety of sums, the greater part, however, being small, or tor moderate amounts. They ranged from five dollars up to five or ten thousand. They belonged to every State in the Union, butchiefly to the people of the Western and Eastern States, the extreme Southern States being partially supplied by consignments received at New Orleans. The usual practice with Messrs. W., F. & Co, is to dispose of gold, or deposit it with the United States Mint or Astay Office, get certificates of the tame, or draw coin in exchange for bars, make deposits of it in reliable city banks, avd then check or draw on the amount in payment of the numerous drafts forwarded agoinet it in favor of parties scattered all over the country, These documents can be cashed atany of the banks of the interior. In other cases, having deposits to their credit at their interior express agencies, or in country solveat banks, they forward drafts on the same, paya- ble at sight, to the receiver of the draft, andon whore account the gold in reality was first thipped.. The owner of the draft can, if de- tired, in all cases, receive the amount in specie. The consignees, in this case, only act as distri- butors of the wealth forwarded to the States from California, for which they only receive fair commis-ion for their risk and trouble. Such an arrangement proves of great conve- nience to the miners, their friends and families ; for there ie no otber mode in which a poor digger, on the American fork, or on the Yuba river, can send his $10, $20, or $30 to his wife, children, or widowed mother residing on the banks of the Kennebeck, Iinois or Wabash rivers, so safely, so cheaply, or so quickly, as by this wide spread arrangement. The result is, that the great Weat, which used to be rich only in lands and cheap living, while poor in money, (and nearly every thing elee,) the great means of progress and improve- ment, has undergone a great change. The bigh prices obtained for her cattle, her bread stuffs and provisions, and from the broadcast distribution of California gold among her people, has increaved her wealth wonderfully. and brought her to a nearer level with ber older sister Sates of the East. It was formerly the case, that even a short railroad or canal could not be undertaken at the West, until it could be ascertained whether the money could be borrowed in Wall or State streets, Now, the capitals of large and profit able railroads and other important improve- ments are chiefly owned and controled at the West. Indeed, Cincinnati now trans acts a larger business in stocks and boads than New York did some twenty or thirty years since, This great distribution of wealth, with the rapid growth and improvement of the whole country, forcibly iliustrates the value of our glorious Union, based upoo the principles of our wire constitution, and the free institutions establithed under it. Procxess or THe Weet—Ratinoane ann Gas Lint in lowa.—We lately received the follow ing circular, which is a whole history in «ix lines :— Dewegrs, lowe Jame 87, 1455 fin The citisras of Dubuque propose celebrating the Completion of the Llipois Centra!

The Dlinois Central Railroad now connects Dubuque with Chicago, and there is « complete chain of railroad from Chicago to New York Dubuque it situated on the weet bank of the Mississippi, about fifteen bandred miler from ur, and is yet in ite teens, Im 1845 it bad lew than thousand inhabitants; in 1°50 over three thousand; in 1863, seven thousand five huo- dred; and at the present writing it population is estimated at twelve or fifteen thousand —soon to be doubled by the magic influence of the iron horse, who, we believe, makes his firet ap- pearance within the Territory of lowa on the occasion of the opening referred to above. The sudden rise of such cites a» Dubuque prove very clearly that what our Earopeas friends cali American is very often far below the reality. The growth of the West is unknown and unappreciated even at the North, but a giant is being reared up, although his footsteps may not be apparent to us in the comparatively old settlements at the East. The States of Obio, Indiana, Ilinois, and lowa, of ford instances of progress, enterprise, activity and prosperity without precedent in the history of the world. No doubt the advent of the locomotive and of earburetted hydrogen in the streets of Dabaqae will be most interesting, and will be daly ceie. brated. We should like to go, but it is rather too far off, ‘Virginia and Massachusetts. We give elsewhere an article from the Rich- mond Enquirer comparing the productions of Virginia with those of Massachusetts, and ar- guing that Virginia is greatly the richer State, and that the people of Massachusetts must live on pumpkin pies and tarnip tops. The article contains a variety of statements of fact and figures which are, we presume, taken freshly from the census ; aad is, therefore, perhaps, enti- tled to more consideration than o column of mere pathos would deserve. At the same time it is difficult to perceive what useful purpose such articles as this can serve. It may be very true that Virginia grows ten times as mach grain as Massachu- setts, and that the siave owners and the slaves run no risk of being reduced to the Irish pota- to; which horrible contingency hath a'ready, according to our Richmond cotemporary, befallen the New England States. But what then? If the South isso well off as all this, why, so much the better for her. Let her grow her corn and her grain, and feed her blacks and open up her mines, and build her railroads, and do every other act which pertaing to intelligent enterprise; but how are any of these things the concern of Marsachuretts? What has Boston to do with the developement of Virginia? Massachusetts and Virginia have certain things in common. They are parties to a certain instrument of confederation, whereby they agree to act as partners in a few specified cases of a political nature ; to defend each other in case of attack by foreign powers; not to harbor property stolen from either; to delegate a portion of their sovereign rights to the same federal arbiter; and, in one or two other matters, to concede certain rights one to the other. But as to the productions of the soil of either, there is not a word on the subject in the bond. It isno business of one what the other produces, or how much or how little is required to feed its people. If the inquiry were made in a serious spirit of economical study, there would be no harm in it, and it might prove ueful; when it springs from a sentiment of jealousy itis irrevelant and im- pertinent. Virginia has only followed the example of the Northern States in instituting invidious comparisons. Some time ago the Northern anti-slavery people were in the habit of crying out against the irreligion of the South, till the Southern journals, in self-defence, turned to statistics, and proved that there were more churches, more church members, and less crime, in the South than in the North. After this it was common to hear the South represented as falling repidly into decay, and many were the groans uttered over the ruin’of so fine a coua- try. This starts a Virginian editor to examine the figures, and he proves that of the two old- est States—the one a slave State and the other free—the elave is by far the most populous, the most productive, the most pregnant with the elements of wealth. It is to be hoped that this retort will silence those who believe the South is going to ruin; in short, that it will answer as thoroughly as the quotations from the cen- sus tables did on the religious question. Whatever might be the effects of a cessation of commercial intercourse between the Northern and the Southern States, it is not to be denied that the latter would enter upon a policy of exclusion with great advantages. With some rare exceptions, the Southern soil is generally fertile, and produces a surplus of grain. The slave States could support every soul within their borders and still export largely. Very few of the Eastern States can do this, and as time goca on, though the product ot the West- ern States will increase, the number of the States which have a surplus will diminish. Again, the climate makes a vast difference be- tween the two. In the South, grain of some kind grows nearly all the year roand; in the North, eight months is the longest period dur- ing which the earth bring» forch her increase. Thus while the laborer in the South hardly needs to lay by anything, in the North he must always make provision for four months of wia- terat Jeast, Again, the warmth of the South- ern temperature effects a material economy in the management of laborers; they require little clothing, and any shelter at all that keeps out the rain is sufficient for health. In the North, both the fierce heat of summer and the sharp cold of winter necessitate large expenditures for clothing and buildings. From these causes, it the North and the South agreed to have no- thing to say to each other, and euch to become a sort of American Japan, the chances are that the South would stand it best. There does not appear, however, to be any chance of euch an experiment being tried, The Virginians should read history. There they will find it stated that the New Englanders Wrought over the seas with them one of the mort amiable characteristics of the British— their bavit of grumbling. The Puritans were the greatest growlers the world has knowa Their lives were spent in finding fault. Toey were miverable anless they had some one to frown 60, Life was a burthen to them when they bad so quarrel on hand to snarl about. When it wan't the King, it was the mass prieet#; when it couldn't be the mass priest, it was the Quakers; when the Quakers ceased to be serviceable, the witches came up; whén the witehes were banged, the New Yorkers woceeeded them; and so the honest old Pari- tune always continued to have some one hard by to threaten and scold, It is their way and has never meant aoything. Like many a British martiff of congenial breed, their “bark is waar than their bite; they nurse their wrath, and joxuriate in scowling, but at bottom they are not reed very bad people after all. Me. Bottove ov tae Amenican PLatronw.— We poblich in another cotuma the epeech of Mr. Bolling, of Virginia, at the Philadelphia Grend Counell. Mr. Bolling says be has been misrepresented, and bis speech should have a fair chance. We think #0 too, and give it in vatense trom the epesker’s MS. But we do not intend to publish any more speeches made at the Poiladelphia Grand Council. There has been too much talk already. What we desire to see, not only in Philadelphia, bat all over the country, isa little work. Work! work! work | A Goon Wonp ron run Doos.—We have re. ceived a note from ap anonymous correspon- | dent, “ Trusty’s Friend,” relative to the dog | law, and proceedings under it, The city or dipance provides that all dogs who run at large at this season shall be mazzied; and if this re- guiation be not complied with, they shall be kept in the dog pound twenty-four hours, and then put to death, A reward is offered for each dog brought to the poand. There are | many objections t this ordigaage, which bas | ly. The overilow of water would cleanse the gutters and aid in perpetuating the present highly gratifying eanitary condition of the city. Kronarrine or Fortin Eatoranrs ror rue Britisa Army—Revour ov tHe Recrvirs at Haxivax.—The system of impressment by which the British navy was formerly supplied with sailors, was one of the most outrageoas violations of individual rights that was ever practised even under the vilest despotisms The cruelties perpetrated under the plea of ne- cessity, which constituted its only justification, are so familiar to all readers of the works of the early British novelists, such as Smoliett, Richardson, and Fieldiog, that it is unnecessary for us now to recapitulate them. They formed part of the grievances of which this confedera- tion had in its infancy to complain against the mother country, and were only repudiated and discontinued, when it was found that they could no longer be carried on with impunity. It will hardly be beligved that in this age of enlightenment and democratic ideas the Eog- lish government should again venture to resort to this exploded and odious system for the sup- ply of its army in the Crimea. Still less will it be credited that it should select this country asthe principal field of its operations. The petition to the President which we published on Thursday, from certain recruits in Melville Island, and the letter which appeared in our co- lumns yesterday, ‘are nevertheless proof that when necessity presses them the British author!- ties feel no scruple about again employing all the illegal oppressions which characterized the old system of naval impressment. Our govern- ment has taken tardy measures to put a stop to these nefarious practices, by the arrest of some of the British agents and of other parties engeged in them, but hitherto, it would seem, with but little success. The charges against these persons will, for the moment, be difficult to substantiate, from the abrence of the evidence necessary to their conviction. The individuals who have been trepanned away are ont of our jurisdiction, and most of them will probably be despatched to the Crimea before any steps can be taken to obtain their release. The remainder, from their state of extreme destitution, will find it difficult to get back here. From the letter of our Hali- fax correspondent, which appeared in our co- lumns yesterday, it appears that the Irish labo- rers who had been seduced to Nova Scotia under feigned pretences, have broken out into open insurrection, and corfpelled the fulfil- ment, in part, of the promises.made to them. In consequence of the determined spirit which they have exhibited, orders have, it is stated, been transmitted to the British agents through- out the United States to accept no more of that refractory race, but to confine their selection to Germans, and other more tractable foreign- ers. The reports of the treatment which the latter receive on their arrival in Nova Scotia will, however, we trust, have the effect of pre- venting the turther extension of this vile traffic. Emigrants should be taught that Halifax is the next proverbial stage to a place which it is not considered polite to mention. THE LATEST NEWS, BY MAGNETIC AND PRINTING TELEGRAPHS. From Washington, Wasutotoy, July 14, 1865, Mr. Pryor, of the Richmond Inquirer, has not yet re- ceived an appointment. Marcy and Cushing are deter- mined he shall not. Forney and the Kitcnen Cabinet, on the other hand, are determined he shall, Mr. Waldo has decided to accept the Judgeship of the Supreme Court of Connecticut, and will retire from his office, as Commissioner of Pensions, on the first of next month. Mr. Wheeler, Nicaragua Minister, leaves Washington to-morrow for New York, and will sail in the next stesmer for Central America. Merere, Faulkner and Bocock, members of Congress from Virginia, arrived in town to-day. The Siar asserts that the government has received information of the kind reception of Major Mordecai and Capt. MeClelland by the British government, and seys they bave not been refused the liberty of visiting Sebaatopol. The Foreign Legion Case at Cincinnatt, Crverywatt, July 14, 1855, The United States Commminsioner, today, in the cave of enlisting troops for the Crimea, he!d Consul Rowecroft in the sum of $2,000, Messrs, Tarnbuil and Hamilton io $1,000 each, and Captain Pashner on his own recogni- tance, to sppear before the United states Court to anewer to the charge. Captain McKay, the agent of British government, was too sick to appear before the Commissioner, and bis friends gave the require’ recurity for him. New Hampshire Legislature. Coxcorn, N. H., July 14, 1855, The strong anti slavery resolutions offared by Mr ‘Ta;pan in the House of Representatives, two waeka ago, were passed by that body this morning, after an excited debate. The pro-slavery democratic resolutions were rejected. The Legisiature adjourned this forenoon sine dic.
