The owners of the bark Egyptian Witch, from ‘this port, are under obligations to your paper for the first tidings of her arrival at New York and the tale of her cargo. The Heraxp was in advance of the letter of the consignees, which proves you to be fas wide awake as"you pretend. The success of this enterprise has had a good effect here, and yon may t to see some more of the same sort following in the wake of the Witch. A brisk trade may be riven with the United States from this place, and pome of us bope to have a hand in it.

I suppose you have heard that Egypt has had another visitation of cholera—the genuine Asiatice— and very fatal. Many of the cases have terminated in four or five hours, and some have cominenced with the cramps and died immediately. It has attacked Europeans og well as natives, though the soldiers have been the chief sufferers at Alexandria. For ‘two months it has been at work, but, thank Heaven, % is now abating. At Cairo the deaths registered ‘were 300 per day. At one time the shops were all closed, and all who could fled from the city. It is supposed that seven or eight thousand have died there. At Danrietta they have been dying at the rate of one hundred day; ot Mansourat sixty, and at various other Villages on the Delta with equal severity. At Alexandria it has averaged fifty per day, but for the last week has contined itself chiefly to the ~ Viceroy has, however, sent a i EE wi ere is no pestilence, and hopes are Fa Lhd that the disease will cease.

The Hedouing of the Delta are in rebellion, and have been plundering and murdering at a great rate. The tribe’ of Waled Ali, always hostile to the preseut ‘Viceroy, are up in arms, and Said, the Viceroy, has sent up 5,000 or 9,000 soldiers to put them down. ‘He has himself gone up to Cairo and some say will take the field in person. He will be too good a mark for the rifles of the Bedouins, who are crack shots, being a mounstrous man in size though not unwieldy. We are all expecting an American steamer which the Ficeroy ordered, some time since, to be made for in America as a sainple of what can be done there. Mr. Stone, of Boston, is the contractor, I be- lieve. He was here on a visit, and got the order. ‘The English and French made steamers here are not of the first class, either in looks or in speed. If Said succeeds in quieting his refract Be- douins, either by backscisch (bribery) or a whiff o grapeshot, he will tarn his attention to improve- ments in his shipping and other matters. He has the desire of im the condition of the coun- 3 but now his head is full of big drums and sol- diery. He can attend to nothing else at this time. ‘The revolted tribe is 5,000 or 6,000 strong.

The mayriaions of this new Une are a large and influential Spanish company, char- tered in that country, with limited Hability, and the ex- Clurive privilege from the Spanixh government of runnin; steam vessels from England and France to Havana anc Porto Rico. This company ia styled the ‘Linea ile ¥a- Pores correos Expanoles Transatlanticos,”” and it will commence operations immediately, for the pioneer vessel © of the fleet is already completed and the others are rapid- Jy constructing. It ix intended that a regular monthly communication shall be kept up between this port and Havana, the steamers calling at Vigo, on the coast of Spain, and Porto Rico, in the West Indies, to land and embark passengers. ‘The Spanixh government, we be- lieve, Intend to make use of this line for the mail com- muniention with Cuba, and, no doabi, our own govern: ment will forward English’ correspondence by the same available route. ‘The principal traftic from this port will be fine goods of British and French manufacture, toe greater portion of the ¢ trade being from tue Spanish ports, As goods for favana and Porto Rico ean only be shipped in Vessels carrying the Spanish flag. except at the cost of on sottmons fatpert tariff, the udyantages of this line to manufacturers and shippers, in this country and in France, are obvious, {t is also quite unveces: to di- late upon the great importance of the e-tablishinent of such a line in the pre.ent aspect of the political relations Detween Spain, the mother country, and he: # e colonics of Porto Rico and Cuba. ‘As the first vessel of the company, the Habana, is in such s state of comple- tion that her trial trip will take place this week, » brief description of her, and the other boats that will form the line, will be interesting. ‘The Habana is a first class ocean boat, of that deserip- tion becoming #0 generally Nr Sage by the large Rue Topean stenm companies; nately, the screw steamer, She {a the construction of Mr. John Laird, of Liverpool aud Birkenhead, the well known tron steanuhip build- er, who is also consgructing five other yewels for the company, three of which have already heen named the Vio, the Cadiz, andthe Barcelona, The Vigo, which iso r ship to the Habana, has been laanched pome time, ready for sea in August.

Of the three members of the constitution, viz., the Crown, the Lords Commons, where can you trace.a vestige of Altred the Great, of Edward iL, of Henry VIL and Elizabeth? Is the Crown a le ,® warrior, a vigorous reformer, adminis trator, or diplomatist? No; it 4s reduced to the ig- noble position of an assenting member of the con- stitution withont the power of a veto, an indifferent actor in State affairs, and unconcerned spectator of all that is Paro, No sovereign in the world pos- sesses £0 little power ax the Queen of England. Nhe President of the United States possesses more sve reign power. Why should we boast o! a constitu. tion so defective? If the constitution be in a healthy condition, it is necessary that each member perforin its separate and prescribed functions in an elficieat manner. There is as much evil in the Reproxenta- tive Chamber possessing an immoderate extent of power, as in the Crown or the Lords. ‘The Crown is the despotic power—the type of undivided and cen- tral power, ‘The Crown is the head of the permanent excca- tive government. Being such, it ought to be the pis inistrative reformer, looking to and taking an luterest in the general working and management of oer department of the service, e:uploying and re- warding merit, and introducing measures foto Par liament when they may be necessary for its thorough efliciency. The fate Czar of Russia is an example of what the Crown can do in this respect. The ministry have too precarious a tenure of office, and are too much engaged in politics, to be able to effect an administrative reform. Besides, the Crown is above the influeuce of corruption, and free from the taint of party interest. If you reformed the ad- mit ion to-day, it would be a question whether it woukhnot want reforming again to-morrow, be- cause f% requires to be free from corrupt influence, aswell as permanently and rigorously supervised. There cannot be a doubt that measures introduced by the Crown into Parliainent for the better manaye- ment CL affhirs, would receive ity attentive consideration. Many great measures could be brought forward for this purpose, as, for example, the + ation of the law and ita improved ad- ministration. The administration would be greatly improved, too, by the knowledge that it was watched by the sovereign personally as far as possible. an army against Shocking Termination to a Marrt in s F age A frightful case of hydrophobia is described in the Lyons journala, which, it the facts are correctly stated, would go to prove that this fatal malady can remain in the system a8 long as four years without developement.” A young farmer named Peyron, about twenty-five years of age, in the department of the Rhine, was married a few weeks ago to a ueigh- bor’s daughter. The young couple had been long attached to each other ; but the parents of the bride bad refused their consent on account of the strange- ness of conduct occasionally observed in the young man, who otherwise was a most eligible mut-h, his pees being comparatively well off, and the sou imself Seine ad exemplary condact. His pas- sion for the girl became at length so violent that he declared he could not exist without her, and his mower, fearing from his manner that he meditated wuicide, went to the parents of the young womin, and, after some entreaty, prevailed upon them to agree to the match. Young Peyron at once recov- ered his spirits, the young woman was delighted, and the murriage was celebrated with all the rustic pomp and ceremony common in that part ef the prev inces, concludiug with a grand dinner, aud inevitable ball. The gaiciies were kept up until daylight, when the oenneny pe e new married couple were lodged in separated, one wing the farm house, separate from the main building; but in a short time after they retired, cries were heard from the nu chamber, At first they were unnoticed; but at length they increased to fear- ful shrieks, and the father and mother, alarmed, hastened to the room, followed by the farm servants. The cries were by the time they arrived changed to scarcely audible groans from the poor girl; and on breaking open the door she was found in the agonies of death—her bosom torn n and lacerated in the most horrible manner, and the wretched husband in a fit of ravin, moneys and covered with blood, hav- ing actually devou: a portion of the unfortunate einl's breast. A cry of horrot burst forth from all present, and he was dragged from the room after a moet violent resistance, it faking! ue less than six men to hold him down. Aid was instantly sent for, and before the doctor could reach the spot, the un- happy victim was no more. Young Veyron was pat under treatment, and a strait waistcoat was attempted to be put upon him; but his struggles and screams were such that the doctor, apprehensiue that he should expire in the assistant’s hands, ordered them to desist. The unfortunate man had by this time become so weak that he was easily conveyed to bed, aud died at 4 0’clock in the afternoon of the same day, without having for one moment recovered his con- ness. It wos then recollected, in answer to search- ing questions by a physician, that somewhere about five years previously he had been bitten by a strange dog, and taken the usual PS wteetend against hydro- phobia. But although the dog was Killed, it had never been satisfactorily shown that it was really mad; and po ill consequences resulting from the bite, his friends concluded that it would come to nothing, and the incident had been altogether for- gotten. It was considered by the doctor that the circumstances preceding the marriage and the ex- citement ot the occasion jtself, had roused the latent virus, which had go long laid dormant in the blood, and led to the terrible outbreak of frenzy which had ended 60 tragically. On the medical report being Inid before the authorities, the extraordinary nature of the case naturally excited much attention and considerable controversy—the opinions of the heads of the profession being, after full inquiry, that there was no hydrophobia whatever in the case, but rooted insanity, and that it was shown to exist by the occa- sional aberrations of the unfortunate young man, aa before mentioned; and that his diseased tempera’ ment and too violent passions, powertully acted on by the circumstances, led to the fatal consequences narrated above. This sad catastrophe has given rise to a flerce medical controversy in some of the pro- fessional journals on the nature of hydropbobia, from. which it would appear that, although instances of remarkable cures of this frightful malady are often described in the journals, no authenticated account of ita favorable termination ix yet known in France.

A letter from Stettin states that at the late wool fair in that town, only 640,000 kilogrammes were offered for sale, being 200,000 kilos. Jess than in 1454, ‘Lhe whole was sold at prices varying trom 412tIr. to 6741r. for thé metrical quintal (2214 Ibs.,) according to quality, being an advance from 74fr. to 134/r. on the correspording qualities in 1854.

A return, just pablished at Rome, shows that the Order of Jesuits at present consists of 5410 mem- bers, 1,415 of whom are in Italy, 1697 in France, 3 in Belginm, 364 in Spain, 177 in Germany, and » Pugland, America and other countries. In when the Order was at the height of its glory, it porsesaed not fewer than 19,816 members. Madiid has been shocked by a frightful visitation to one family of cholera. On the night of the llth of July, Liewtenant-General Sehelly, who has been living for some time in the neighborhood of Seville, his doughter, his two sisters, his head servant, the wife ot the latter, and three domestics, all died from this dread plague. Letters from Rome of the 20th of July, announce that of the two hundred foreign bishops’ who sasem- bled in that city in December last tor the proclama- tion of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, not one remained.

FRmay—MorninG Session. Prayer by the Rev. Mr Onmiston . Rich rose to a question of privilege. He stated that in his remarks last evening, in advoca- ting the continuance of the State agency, he was either misanderetood by some of the association, or he did not construct hig sentences in accordance with the dictates of lis heart. He had been told that he was understood to have said that the teach- em of the city of New York did not fully sympa- thize with the teachers of the country. If he said that, be said what was furthermost from his heart. The teachers of the city of New York were the first to assiet in organizing this association, and had re mained its firmest and best friends up to the present our; and if he had been ao underatood, he wished to state as publicly this morning us the remark was made last night, that he was heartily sorry he made any such remark, and it was due to the self-sacri- fictng spirit of the teachers of the city of New York that this misapprehension of his remarks should not go forth without the proper antidote. The Convention had set apart the morning hour Sparporte ‘as to the vtate and conditign of education the various (ounties of the State; the officers did not make their appearance until quite 9 o'clock, and that hour was named by tho Convention at the time to visit the Lunatic Asylum. Not daunted by this concatenation of adverse circumstances, Miss ANTHONY claimed ap hour for the reporta to be re- ceived, in accordance with the recorded resolve of the convention, and, with the view of testing the sense of the convention, offered the following resolu- tions, and moved their acceptance in a few pertinent and very able remarks: ed, That actual services rendered, not Kex, should can aeeure obedience himself wanting. in ification for the profes- sion, Resolved, That physical education is most lamentably neglected in all our schools, seminaries, collogos and wni- ; and therefore, hat every educational building should have 4 gymuasivin. solved, ‘That the se should be educated together. the atimulas of , and thee wealth: and and years of in that we give to woman equal advantages with man, while we withhold ‘equal motives to attainment. Mr Scort, of New York, arove to a question of order, ond claimed that as the hour of nine had ar- rived, the regular business of the convention should be taken up. ‘The Prestoent decided the point well taken; and noiwithstanding Mrs. Anthony made several appeals to Le heard, the gallantry of the convention came iy manus, und she was fairly choked down by the lords of the creation; an whether the Stat he vexed question as to cy should be continued another year, or crushed in its infancy, came up, a8 unfinished business, for discussion, The histor, the question seems to be simply thi association, lust r, decided to follow the lead taken by the State of Ohio, and ap- pcinted an agent, arautecing him a salary of $1,000, and travelling expenses, and at the same time made no provision for the payment of his salar, and expenses. Mendwhile the ugent started on his tour of duty without a cent of mouey, except of his own farnishing. In this dilemma the supporters of the meagure, it seems, applied to those who, equally with teachers, received their L,ead and batter from the working of the common school system of the State, viz.: to the publishera of school books thronghout the State. This, it seems, aroused the ire of thoxe who opposed the consummation arrived at by the majority of the Association in the establish- ment of this agency, and who never, in manver or form, ever contributed one cent toward the sup- port of the agent their action had created. The con- sequence was, 8 great hnila-ballo because the very agent they had appointed deemed it his to pro- coed te ha tomes hia agency and endeavor to meet the pecuniary liabilities he natarally incurred by any honorable means in his power. With this idea, he accepted the aid tendered by warm friends of the cause of education, althoogh many of them were publishers of schqol books; aud this was the canse of the sacrifice which seemed to be determined on Ly the minority, if they could, by pertinacity and threats, drive the majority to the wall, a they finally eucceeded in doing. Mesers. Rice, Cuamsuns, and others, advocated the continuance of the agency, and urged that any contribution, no matter from what particular source, could be consistently received in furtherance of the cause, and the Association had no right to doubt the purity of the motives ot the donora. Messrs. McE iiort, Woo.worTn, BULELEY, Scorr, and other advocated its discontinuance main- ly on pecuniary grounds. The Association had no corporate existence, and all funds necessarily raised for the objects of the Association, must come from individuel members, and the amount so raised must necessarily be jast what individval members felt they could afferd to contribute. Furthermore, the Axsociation bad always, as a body, refused tu recom: mend any school publications whatever, and thia taking of money from publishers of school books was, in their extimation, nothing leas than a sroeme of “ black mail,” and in their opinion the publishers so construed it. Mr. McKukn, of New York, finally obtained the floor, and after some conciliatury remarks, moved the whole subject to the table, which was ca’ fd. The Committee on Nomination of Hoard of tora for the Teacher reported the witif, — Oliver Arey, Bufflo; Truman H. Bowen, Albany; James H. Partridge, New York; Mrs. H. ft. Hewa, Syrncnse; Wm. N. Reid, Newburg; P. H. Curtis, Hochester; James Cruikshank, Bellport; Marcus Wikon, Allen's Hill; Mary D. Tenney, Binghamton; Euma Willard, Troy; L. ¥. Little, Watertown; A. 8. Palmer, Utica, Mra. Willard, throngh @ friend, positively de- clined rerving, and John W. Bulkley, of Brooklyn, was appointed to the vacancy. ‘The muin business of the convedtion having been eoncluded, the ordinary resolutions of thanks to the President, the citizens of Utica, and the various railrond companies who had redneed their fare on this cecasion, were passed in doe course. Mr. Jonannor moved the continuance of the of.ce of State agent, with a salary of $1,000 and — Professor Woo.wortn moved the following sub stitute, which wus adopted :-— Resolved, That the thanks of (he aerociation be tendered to Mr. J their agent, for his faithful and vealous services in the discharge of ix duties Prep oe oe the _ of the Le ae ge ofhce of it be berehy revel “ mittee cf three be appointed in act with intendent im procuring from the Legielature each an increase of force in bis office a chull be neceseery w mect the tants of common schoats.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEALD. Permit me, in reference to your article this more. ing, on Denmark and the Sound dues, a8 0 native @ that country, respectfully to offer a few remarks, In the first place, Lagree ultog@@her with you that the action which the United States have taken imre- lation to the abolishment of the Sound ducs—a right which several of the great Powers of Europe have gtanted to Denmark by treaties, and of which te United States pay #0 trifing @ part-~is one nawer- thy #0 great a nation; and J take this opportunity te tender you my sincerest thanks for the tanner | which you have spoken in favor of my little coum | try. Whether it is just or not that Denmark should levy those dues, | cannot say; but the Unites states should either Jeave it to some more interested Power to make the complaint, or at least await » more @- | ting period to bring forth its demand. But I cannot agree with you in your cybionstets the " desperately tight place” in which Deumark ig ploced under the present circumstances. You sag hat the Danes are “ naturally inclined to join Rus sia in the war.” ‘This assertion I most emphaticatig: | deny The treacherous policy of the Czar in tee well known to the Danish people; what favors be may have shown thei at different periods, he cer tainly intends to have repaid whenever the chanes offers, But Leas was not hag Soman Denee poraesa too libes a spirit to have any sym- psthies with a country degraded by all the vices of absolute despotism. The aversion te wards Russia has been plainly proved by the overwhelming majority with which the present mi- Nistry gained the victory aver the n-tmainded advisers of the King, ant it was while they were ia office that the difficaities arose between Admind Napler and the Danish government. it is, of couns, the true policy of Denmark, as of any other countey luced ina similar position, to remain neutral an jong a8 possible; but certain it is that the Dante nation will never, under any circumstances, williag- ly lend a hand to assist the ns of the Rawdam Fi peror. At the came time, | do not intend to mg that apy particularly friendly feelings towards the ullies should induce Denmurk to join them, The be mbardment of Copenhagen and the pee, beng Danirh teet by England, under the meaning pe text of preventing it being taken by France, 4 @ wound which has not yet healed, and — nguin and demond revenge.
