New York, Sunday, July 29, 1835. ~The News. The City Inspector’s official report for the past week exhibits an increased mortality list a3 com- pared with the week previous, The whole namber of deaths was 669, divided into two classes, com prising 161 adults aud 508 children. Seves-eighths of the increase was among the jovaniles, of whom 142 died of cholera infantum, 58 of convalsions, 10 of debility,42 of marasmue, 9 of measles, and 7 of scarlet fever. There were also 5 deaths of cholera, 50 of diarrhoea, 25 of dysentery, 16 of inflammation of the bowels, 43 of consumption, 8 of congestion of the Jungs, 10 of inflammation of the lungs, 13 of eorgestion of the brain, 27 of dropsy in the head, 16 of inflammation of the brain, 8 of apoplexy, 4 of typhus fever, and 4 of heart disease. There were 8 deaths from drowning, 5 from sua- stroke, 1 suiside, 1 each from intemperance and delirium tremens, 4 fatal casualties, 11 premature births, and 30 cases of stillborn. ‘The following isthe classification of the diseases:— Bones, joints, &:.,5; brain and nerves, 142; gene- ative organs, 3; heart and blood vessels, 17; lings, throat, &c., 88; skio, &>., and eruptive fevcrs, 21; stillborn aif premature births, 41; stomach, ‘bowels, ard other digestive orgaus, 317; uncertain seat and general fevers, 28; urinary organs, 4; old age, 2; unknown, 1. The nativity table gives 525 natives of the United States, 65 of Ireland, 38 of Germany, and 17 of England. For several days past we have received accounts of the existence of yellow fever at Norfolx ard Portsmouth, Va. The @isease is said to have been brought to those ports by the steamer Ben Franklin, recently arrived from the island of St. Thomas. In view of this fact, Mr. Isaac O. Barker, acting Mayor in the ab weuce of Mr. Wood, convened the Board of Health Wriday, and subsequently issued the tollowing proclamation:— ‘Wamrzas, From reliable information received from the porte of Norfolk and Portsmouth, in Virginia, this de- partment is advised that the yellow fever now provails im both of these ports—Be it, therefore, known to all men, that by virtue of the power in me vested, and by and with the advice and consent of ths Board of Com- missioners of Health of this port, I, Isaac 0. Barker, Aoting Mayor of the city of New York, do issus this my Proclamation, declaring ssid ports of Norfolk and Ports- mouth, in the State of Virginia, as infected places, and all vessels arriving from paid places to be subjected to Quarantine. This proclamation to have full force and effect till the Ist day of September, 1855. Given under my hand and seal, at the Mayor's office, *im our said city, New York, July 28, 1856, ISAAC 0, BARKER, Acting Mayor. But why, in the name of comman sense, did not the Acting Mayor inslade New Uzleans in his proc!a- mation? The yellow fever, we regret to nee, is alarmingly on the increase inthat city. The deaths Yast week numbered 119, siowing an increase of 56 ever the week previous, while the entire mortality % Norfolk and Portamouth trom fever is bat a fra:. loa of that number. While Mr. Barker is exerc’s ‘ing such a commendable enesgy to protest the pu Meo health, let veesels arriving from ports where an epidemis really rages be subjected to quarantine, as wel] as those coming from places but lightly af. fected. Our Vienna correspondent, writing 02 Jaly 932, forsizhes some interesting statemeats relative to the pesition of Austria and Sweden with regard to the allied Western Powers and Russia. The reported atrocities of the British troops at Kertsh had caused much excitement at Odessa. It was said that Aus- tria would reply to the warlike hints given lately by the French Emperor, in his address to the Logis'a- tive body, by a further reduction of her army. Our Cuban correspondence comes down to the 234 of July, ard will be found particularly intereat- ipg. It was apparent that much alarm prevailed at the palace under cover of an cutward show of quiet, A gentleman nam:d' Tayas, at whoee residence the bast of the unfortunate Pinto was executed, has been exiled. Mariano Ramirez, who was lately ac- quitted by the Ccuncil of War, has been seatencsd to six years’ imprisonment at Cueta by the Council of Revision. A new decree relative to the travalling of strangers on the island for thirty days, is worthy the attention of foreign tourists and business peo- ple. Ancther large shipment of Chinese laborers had taken place. The hopes of the natives for aid from the United States, in attemptiog the Hbera'io2 of their country, were much dampened, and it was @second time said thet an applica‘ion would be made to Eogland as a last resort.

It will be seen by a translation which wa pubisi from the official journal of the Costa Rica govera- ment, that within some time past public atteation hes been diredted to the valusb’e mines of gold, Copper, coal and potaesiam, which have been discov ered, and some of which have been partially work- ed with good resulis. The inducements to miaing ‘enterprise in that region would seem to be great. ‘We hope, however, that avy of our citizens propos- ing to embark therein will steer clear of ail Kia- meyite speculations.

Freights were oui] The Lesson Taught by the Liquor Law. We have before us a synopsis of the legal Proceedings which have been based upon the prokibitory statute siace the fourth of July. It appear that one clause only has been faith- fally carried out, namely, the one which re- quires the potice to arrest drunkards in public thoroughfares. To this clause no exception was taken by any one, and duriog the last fort- night at least it has been enforced, thoroughly, without a diseentient voice, The average number of srrests made during this period has been thir- ty-twoper diem. It is not to be supposed, when corruption is the order of the day even among the Aldermen, that the police are wholly pure ; it is reasonable to suppose that some drunkards have purchased impunity, while others may have escaped through the want of vigilance of the force. Let us allow twenty-five per cent additional for these items, It will then appear that forty persons have each day exhibited them- selves in the streets in a state of intoxication. The Probibitory Liquor law was enacted for the correction of these forty. For, even in the opinion of the temperance party, it is neither possible nor desi. rable to legislate concerning private drunken- ness. The men in whom liquor works mischief get drunk ‘out of doors, at grog- shops, in cellars, at cormer groceries, The rowdies who stagger through the streets, seeking a fight, who make their homes desolate, break their wives’ hearts and bratity their. chil- dren’s instincts, drink the liqgor outside of their home. This is well established by statis- tics. Men who get drunk at home are few in number, and except to themselves, their folly is not actively injurious. These, when they drink, do so after their work is done, and their families are at rest; they do not disturb the public peace, or even in general maltreat those who are under their control. Their drunken- ness is mere sottishness; it is that of the out- side drinker, the fellow on whose heated blood the cool air begets mad impulses, which it is the duty of the legislator to endeavor to sup- press, and which the present temperance party hoped to prevent by their probibitory statute. These men, as we see, are enumerated as looming up in this city at the rate of forty a day. It might be urged that a large propor- tion of these forty—as appears plainly enough from the reports of their trials—were not habi- tual drunkards, but to whom, in their homely way of expressing it, “had happened an acci- dent,” which is not certain or perhaps likely to recur. But let this pags. Let us take it for granted that during the past month—the first month of the new law—forty drunkards have made their appearance every day in the streets, The population of New York is pronounced by the last census to be 750,000, exclusive of transient visiters, who are estimated at 50,000 additional. It appears, therefore, that out of more than three quarters of a million of per- sons, including men of all classes and all call- ings in life, only forty—or one in every twenty thoueand—necded a prohibitory law. For the benefit of these forty a law has been passed pressing with peculiar rigor on the community at large, and threatening to impoverish a re- spectable class of citizens. For the moral wel- fare of ove drunkard, nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine sober persons have been driven to choose between breaking the law or suffering serious inconvenience. What should be the basis of all sound legislation? The greatest good to the largest number. Mi- norities are always sacrificed—with more or less tendernese—in free countries, and s> they should be. But here, it seems, it is the ma- jorities who are the victims; 19,999 persons ty- rannized and robbed ot their rights in order that one scamp may not get drank. There are several collateral circumstances which, must be taken into acczount-in weigh- ing these facts. In the first place, since the law was passed, there have been no licenses issued for the sale of li quors. Hence, every one who had a minod, has cold as much liquor and of what quality he pleased; the. facilities for getting drunk have been at least doubled. Again, the weather during the month has been at least as hot on an average as is usual in July. Every one of us has been more or less tormented by thirst, Probably four times as much liquid has bsen drupk in New York this month as is coneumed in the cooler months of the year. These two circumstances lead one to the inference that forty cases of drunkenness are by no means a fair average even for the 800,000 population of the city; and that in cooler weather, and un- der a proper license system, not more than half as many cases would occur. Finally, the reports of the trials for drunkenness reveal one important fact: nine out of ten of the persons srrested are foreigners, and seven out of ten Trish, Thus it appears that we have not only made a law to deprive 800,000 persons of their rights for the benefit of forty drunkards, but have actually subjected the native population of this State to a grinding tyranny in order to reform the foreign immigrants. Because Pat will get drunk and make bimself a :uisance, therefore we have enacted that no one shall have any Jiqaor at all, Why docs the Legis- Jature not pass a law against printing because our neighbor the ‘ribune publishes puffs of sooielicm and other isms quite as injurious in their way as spirituous liquor? We trust these figures will satisfy the tem- perance party, and that the foolish attempt to regulate drinking by statute will be abandoned forever. If in the hottest month of the year, and when there were no restraints upon the sale of liquor, no more than forty persons, and of these nine-tenths foreignérs, got drunk pub- licly in a city containing 800,000 souls, it may surely be concluded that no laws are necessary to put down intemperance. For our part, op- posed as we have been to the prohibitory sta- tate, we freely confess that we have been utterly astounded at the paucity of arrests for drunk- enness, Considering the vast number of vaga- bonds who aseemble here from all countries in the World, the poor persons who naturally fly to the bottle for eolace in affliction, the workmen out of employ, the immigrants who arrive here from Europe, and the general habit of drinking among all classes, we think the report of the police courts showing only forty cases of drunk- enness per diem a most wonderful vindication of the moral sense. and self restraint of the community, and the sharpest reproof that could have been administered to the Pseudo-tempe- rance leaders.

Newrorr, R. I., July 26, 1866. Mr. Allen is a little excited, and there is no occasion for it. If we have done him injustice, we give him the benefit of his disclaimer, though from the terms in which it is couched, and from its being addressed to a dis‘ant journal, we might reasonably deny him the courtesy. We are glad to hear that the Allen branch of the Know Nothings have ‘never had any connec- tion with the Seward organization,” and “never expect tohave.”’ We are sorry, however, to learn that Mr. Allen “utterly repudiates” “the Barker or Hindoo” Order as “bogus or spurious,” and “corrupt in principle.” As we understand it, the Barker organization in this State numbers 185,000 enrolled members, was recognized as the legitimate Know Nothing party at the Phi- Jade)phia Nationa) Council, and is thus endorsed by the highest party authority as the genuine article. The Allen branch may, perhaps, be tight in standing out upon their independence; but it strikes us that before they can ever hope to do anything, they must fase with the Barker Order, and their true courte is suggested by the example of Mahomet. Said the Prophet, after the mountain had refused to budge a peg at his command, “ Very well, if the mountain Christian rulers, there waa between them a similarity of position and sympathy. But what a strange pictare have we now! The Pope armed against bie former friend, guest, aad equal spiritually, but much more than his équal in temporal power. And armed against him for what? That the Greek cbarch sball bow to tne religion of Mahomet—that the infidel Muesulman shall triumph over a Christian foe, King Richard, the thunderbolt of the crusades, in the person of the Pope turning traitor to the cance in which be armed himeelf, strikes for the Creecent against the Cross. The Pope to-day is actually enlisted for the disciples of Mabo- met against those of Christ, and Saladin at last hangs up his image and hia tapestry in the very home of Urban and the Gregories. And we have still another change in the history of the Romish power, which may be mentioned here. Not long since Pins the Ninth sent to us a block of marble 'to be set in the national monument to Washington—a block of marble that should tell future generations how highly the memory of Washington was es- teemed by the successors of St. Peter—the succeesors of St. Peter, who in their time have wielded a eceptre that has awed the world. The Pope of Rome, whose words have given birth to dynasties, and whose anathemas have hurled monarchs from their thrones—the Pope of Rome, who was once the despot of despot, and the great source of power, now sends his testimonials to the memory of. Washington, his political antipode, whose whole life was a con- tradiction to the See of Rome, and all other rulers who awayed by the “right divine.” Such are the changes that are carried in the womb of time. To-day we war for Christ and to-morrow for the Sultun; to-day we lead to the stake the heretic who dares to think for him- self, and to-morrow we add to a monument to perpetuate the virtues of the great champion of republicans. When the Sultan of Turkey hung his tapestry in the rooms of the Vatican, then politics ended its antics, and turned one of the moet extraordinary somersets in modern his- tory. Waere ake THE Harps Gorna?—A Sorr Suext Prepicrron.—The Albany tlas says: —‘We venture to say that the Hard Con- vention, so called, will not offer candidates or principles, or an organization with which honest national democrats can act. We predict that the convention will be, to all intents and purposes, as subordinate to the Grand Lodge of the nativists as the most inconsiderable or subservient Council, or that it will only assert its independence by such dictation at the e, either of will not come to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to th tain.” hazard of its existence.” ie mou i Our soft shell free soil cotemporary at Albany May be very near the mark. After having tried the administration to their heart’s con- tent—after having tried the soft shells, and found them wedded to Marcy and the spoils— the hards are looking about them for other quarters. They did give the Know Nothings a lift last fall, and had their vote, which was cast for Brongon, been given to Ullman, he would have been the Governor. So now with the large accessions to the Know Nothings since Jast fail from the other parties, it will only re- quire the hard shell vote to-take the State from the Seward coalition, and leave the Marcy democracy high and dry on the beach. We think it highly probable that our hard shells will be found with the American party in November. Hear Au S1pes.—We give, this morning, a lengthy and elaborate article from La Progres, the French red republican organ here. The writer labors earnestly to break n the position of the Heratp in relation to the pre- sent Emperor of the French. Has he suc- ceeded ? Stavery in Nepraska.—Our free soil emi- gration societies will have to stir themselves in real earnest, or they will lose both Kansas and Nebraska. The Vebraska City ews, in refer- ring to an advertisement in its columns, of five negroes for sale in the town, says:— And row slavery is here, ina small way—a few ne- groen, twenty or so—and its supporters are coming fnot- erand faster. What sends them here? A beatiful country is nct all they seek, buta slavery victory over those who have challenged them. They seek to drown that hypocritical voice that cried, ‘slavery shall not enter in Nebrasks,’’ and prove it false; they seck to conquer those who have taunted them, by making south of Platte river a slave State. The men who started ‘this excitement live in Boston and other Eastera cities, and send now and then a handful of deluded mortals to these Territories to carry out the force and illustrate their devotion to freedom, by attempting to govern all menin and after the manner of doctrine bees by Seward, Wendell Phillips, Theodere Parker, ef id omne And so we have rome excitement in Nebra sy of street debates—door-step discussi and the question is, ‘Shall Nebraska south of the Piatte river be # slave State?” While our abolitien philosophers are preach. ing, and agitating, and collecting money for newspapers and pamphlets, the Southern peo- ple ere at work moving into the two Territo- ries, and carrying their peculiar institation with them. It is in Kaneas—it is in Nebraska; and the only way in which the slaveholders can now be expelled is by a preponderance of actual settlers, and a majority of the popular vote of the Territory. A year or two hence the people of Kansas will probably call a convention for the organization of a State go- vernment, preparatory for an application for admission into the Union. That convention will determine tHe question of free sof} or Mayor's Offie.
