The North Briton, which left Liverpool on the ‘Ast of June, reached Quebec yesterday with news two days later than that telegraphed from St. Johns after the arrival of the Argo from Galway. There is nothing of great importance from the Beat of war in Italy. Garibaldi continued his advance in Lombardy. Reports of bis defeat by the Austrians had beea telegraphed from Berne, bat they were con- tradicted by reports from Turin. Nothing decisive bad been received in Paris, It was said Napoleon would return to that city in August. He was to remove his headquarters from Alessandria to Casale. It was said that the Austrians had oceupicd Bobbio in force; but which of the places of that name marked on the maps is not told. It is indicated that England and Russia would Boon endeavor to put an end to the w The Emperor of Austria had left Vienna aud ar, rived in Verona, having in attendance the Arch- duke Charles and General Hess. English man-of-war sailors had quarreiled with Rome American seamen in Florence in consequence of the latter wearing tri-color rosettes. The British Parliament met on the 3lst of May and unanimonsly re-elected Mr. Speaker Denison. Government had offered new terms to the Atlantic ‘Telegraph Company. There had been a rise in the market for English railway securities, and purchases continued. Ex. pectations were entertained that for the present the value of money would be comparatively easy, but that a demand might arise which at a later period would carry rates up to four and a half or five per cent. One of the causes that contributed to a rise in the funds was an impression that Austria was getting the worst of the conflict, and that an early and general advance of the allied forca@would pro bably take place. During the month ending on the Sst ult., the upward movement in Consols had es tablished an advance of three and three-qnarters percent. They closed on Tuesday, May 31, at 93; # 932, both for money and account. Cotton had advanced from one-sixteenth to one eighth of a penny. Breadstutfs were declining. The Paris Bourse had advanced over one per cent. The news per steamship North Briton, which was sent to the agent of the Associated Press in New Orleans by the National Telegraph line (office 21 Wall street), at ten minutes before ten o'clock yes- terday morning, got to New Orleaus at nine o'clock. As the difference of time between New York and New Orleans is fifty-five minutes, the despatch was but five minutes in going seventeen hundred miles The Quaker City arrived yesterday evening from Havana with news dated the 7th of June. Seven hundred and eighty-eight coolies had been landed from Macao. Ex-Consul Robertson’s remains had been shipped for Philadelphia, Brigadier Genera; Echiviera was about to sail for Charleston, whence he would visit Washington, New York, Saratoga, &c. Havana was healthy. Sagar market dull and declining. Exchange on New York was at 2} 4 per cent. News from California has been received at New Orleans by the Jasper, which reports that the John 1. Stephens had left San Francisco on the 20th uit. for Panama, with four hundred passengers and $1,860,000 in treasure. Business was good in San Francisco, and the miners were doing weil. Dis- couraging accounts were received from Fraser river. The United States sloop-of-war Decatur had arrived at San Francisco,asalso the merchant ships Lookout, Storm King and Derby from New York, and the Golden Rocket and Nightingale from Bos- ton. The Santa Fe mail, with dates to 23d ult., reached Independence yesterday. Great preparations were making at Santa I’e to receive Hon. » Phelps, of Mo., who was to visit New Mcxico on a special in. vitation of the Legislature. The democracy of Santa Fe, in mass meeting, had endorsed the ad- ministration and the Congressional delegate from New Mexico. No rain, had fallen so fur this year in that region. Two additional vessels ter—have been ad the Mystic and Sump- d to our squadron in the Gulf of Mexico, which now comprises thirteen in all, ‘The squadron has be trepgthened with a view of being able to protect American interests generally in the Galf in case of emergency, as it is thonght that an effective force in that quarter wll exert a Deneficial influence. Nothing is positively known with regard to the policy our government will pur- sue in Mexican affairs. Itis denied that the French and Fnglish Ministers are endea the action of the Juarez government. There is a report in Wall street that Commodore Vanderbilt has, after all the fuss, secured the Nica ragua route, and that immense promises are held out of opening the transit on the Sth of October, with several of his best steamers. Whether this etatement is calculated to knock down Pacific Mail Steamer stock or not remains to be seen. The Milwaukee Light Guard arrived in this city yesterday morning by the steamer Isaac Newton, from Albany. They were received by Company C, American Guard, Capt. W. J. Coles, who escorted them to the Lafarge House, where a bountifal breakfast was in waiting. After breakfast they made a parade in Broadway, and wore reviowed at eleven o'clock by te Mayor and Common Coun- oil. In the evening they visited the Metropolitan Theatre. After the performances they were ea fertained by the City Guard, at the armory of the latter. The trial of Felix Sanchez for the murder of his father-injaw, Harmon Carnon, in Sullivan street, {aot January, which was commenced in the General eeeeemenetteiememaa voring to obstruct | Sessions on Friday, terminated yesterday in the conviction of the prisoner, The jury rendered a verdict of guilty, after an absence of twenty-five Minutes, and Judge Russell sentenced him to be executed on the 22d of July. The weekly report of deaths up to Saturday, lith inst., shows the mortality of the week to have been 360, of which 200 were males and 160 females. OF this number 83 were men, 58 women, and the bal ance, 219, children, of whom 192 were five years of age and under. The report shows a slight increase in the number of deaths over those of last week, when they were 357, but a decrease of 41 as com- pared with the corresponding week of 1858. Of the whole number 254 were natives of this country. The diseases most prevalent were principally those of the brain and nerves, numbering 85, and of the lungs, throat, &c., amounting to 97, and also com- plaints affecting the stomach and bowels, of which there were 59 deaths. There were 18 deaths from violent causes, an unusual number. Among fevers: scarlet seems most prevalent, there being 16 deaths reported. Of other fevers there were but few cuses. The thermometer during the week has ranged from 48 to 77 degrees in the day time, and from 39 to 57 degrees at night. ‘The annexed table shows the temperature of the atmosphere in this city during the past week, the range of the barometer and thermometer, the variation of wind currents, and the state of the weuther at three periods duringeach day, viz: at ) A.

The aews received by ihe North Briton at Quebec yester, day, impsrted a decidedly better tone to the cotton market, which clovea at an improvement of about one-quarter vant per Ib. The eales embraced about 3,500 bales, about 1,000 of which were in transit. We pow quote middling. uplands st 3140 allxe, per tb. Owing mainly to ac- counte of injury to the crops from unfavorable weather at the West, tbe Gour market was firmer and more active, und sales were pretty freely made, boih to the trade and to some extent on speculation. A sample of new flour from the Bellevue Milis, Pitteburg, Pa , was exhibited on ’Change yesterday, which was the first received from the Weet this ecagon. Southern flour closed with more drmpess, Wheat was firmer and in fair request. be sa’es embraced Southern whito at $1 80 and red Southern at $1 75, white Michigan at $1 89, and gcod white Kentucky at $1 873g. Corn was firm, but not active. Pork was without change of moment, but in good demand for future delivery. Salce of new mees at $17, and $16 for prime. Sales were made of prime, buyers’ option, 20 and 60 days, on private terms.

Freight engagements were fair, comparatively speaking, while ratcs were unchanged. The AKews from Europe—The Diplomatic Plans to Stop the War. The two days later news from Europe, which we publieh in another column this morning, re- ports come important changes in the operations atthe sea of war. The Austrians have made an advance movement in force, and Garibaldi is said to have experienced a reverse, From Frank- fort, too, we learn the important fact that the Military Committee of the Germanic Diet had reported in favor of placing an army of observa- tion on the Rhine. This will necessitate a French army in thesame quarter. Ina commercial aspect, matters were somewhat better. Consola and cotton had advanced, while breadstuffs are re- ported as having declined slightly, Taken in the broad sense, these accounts indicate that public confidence was in a measure restored, and that the position of the masses had improved, Jabor finding profitable employment still in the manufacturing districts, and the prospects of a good harvest holding out the promise of cheap food. ‘The improved commercial aspect of things is, no doubt, one of those usual reactions that mark the course of all sudden depressions, Whether it will bold good, or again give way before the drooping influences that may attend the develope’ ment of events, will depend on the results of the campaign in Italy aud the diplomatic move ments that await their progress. We presented yesterday, on high authority, the character of these, and the accounts by the North Britain bear out our statements in every particular. It was publicly reported in Paris that as soon as the French enter Milan, England and Prussia will make strenuous efforts to end the war. In France heavy shipments of siege artillery and material were being made, intended, no doubt, for operations against that important stronghold; and it was rumored that Louis Napoleon would return in August, which probably indicates the time when it was expected he would capture the capital of Lombardy. The Emperor of Austria hed gone to Italy, to inspire the defence by his presence, and on the 3ist of May arrived at Ve rena, Thus the principal actors are appearing upen the stage, the plot thickens, and the drama | is preparing to unfold the bloody sceno that must cpsue. That all the Powers of Europe will make great efforte after the firet great battle to stop the contest, there can be no doubt. It behooves their highest interests todo so. If the conflict is allowed to go on till cach of the bel- ligerents becomes heated with blood and passion, or epraged by continued defeat, no human power can stop the contest from spreading and in volving the entire Continent in its flames. For this reason the Powers that still remain ocutral hope that Louis Napoleon will succeed in taking Milan, when they trust in being able to bring about an arrangement through diplomacy. Aus- tria may be brought to consent to a relinguish tment of her Italian rule, receiving in some way 8 a recompense, a portion of those sacrifices that must necessarily attend apon the driving of her out by force; and Louis Napoleon, convinced of the necessity of moderation in his atms, may be brought to consent to the erection of one king: dom in Northern (taly under Victor Emanuel, au- otber in the centre for some new prince, and to the stotu quo of Naples under its new eovercign. The success of these diplomatic schemes de- pends upon two eventualities: that the French take Milan, and that Austria be brought to a | sevee of reason by the first great defeat. Should | either of these fail, diplomacy must wait some | other favorable conjuncture for carrying out its | plans and saving Europe froma goneral war | To euch o result many things ted | The electric telegraphs that cross the fice of the continent in every direction bring, as it NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, JUNE 12, were, the Cabinet of every Power face to fice With the belligercnuts upon the Geld of battle, They Change the very pature of war, by brioging pacific councils to bear at every moment favora- ble to the establishment of their sway, and their influence will be felt in the present contest, Where every nation is so deepiy toterested in the cessation of the struggle Diplomacy itself wtil be charged also, for it will have to lay aside much of its bumbug and chicanery, and cox- duct itself frankly and openly on the great plat- form of national interests, instead of pursuing the tortuous paths of dyvastic ambitions, Dut should the hope of Lonis Napolroa’s early sucess be deceived, a fearfal struggle awaits the continental Powers of Eorope. They will have to repair the great wrong committed on France more than forty years ago, when they deprived ber of the right of selecting her own ralers, and imposed upon her a dethroned and detested dynasty, Even now they are in danger of committing the same error, in seeking to preserve the foreign and hated rule of Austria in Itwy. In either event they will deive the nationalities to vengeance, and Leuis Napoleon, now eceking to repair bis owa family wronga, to- gether with thore of the people, to desperation. In such a mood he would he forced to resort to revolution, for his own safety avd the destrac- tion of his enemies. Ie evidently does not wish for that, nor do the other Powers of Earope wish for it, They will consen’ to such remodelling of the compacts of Vienna as will restore Italy to herself, and lift the interdict from the return of the Napoleonic dynasty to France. With this Louis Napoleon will, for the present at least, be satiefled. He knows the value of prudence, aud how to bide his time. If he has any ulterior ob- jects he can eafely postpone them for a period; and the attainment of Italian governments for Italy now will vastly augment bis present pres tige and conduce to the future success of his plans. Celme in the Metropolis. We don’t really know what the country editor would do without his New York exchanges They not only supply him with all the matter that fills his news columv, with the excep- tion of his local puffs, but they give him editorial articles, or topica for them, in pro fusion. The country editor, however, fs not grat» ful. Te steals, and then abuses those whom he bas robbed. His favorite theme is the awfal wickedness of this great metropolis, com pared to which, according to his account, the sins of Sodom and Gomorrah were only venia) miedemeanors. To read some of the newspapers printed in Boston, Philadelphia, Cincianati aud other places in the provinces, one might think that we were utterly unregenerate, and com- pletely delivered over to all manner of wicked- nees; that the chief employment of the people of New York is the cutting, wounding, maiming or killing their neighbors, is the pleasant founda- tion of the country editor’s indignantly virtuous “leader.” Now the fact is, that we are not half so bad as our rural friends endeavor to make us out; that the greater part of the crime committed in New York is the work of foreigners or refugees from some of these very provincial places; and that, if the matter was properly analyzed, we should find that of all crimes and misdemeanors, great and small, the native and respectable residents of this city can show a cleaner record than some of the interior towns. But omitting the foreign and the floating population, we shall find that, in Proportion to the population, there is more crime in Cincinnati than in this city. Some of the smaller cities, such as Troy,’ enjoy an unerviable reputation in the same line. Then, again, it must be remem- bered that the leading journals of the metropelis give the greatest prominence to the criminal calendar, both in their news and editorial co- lumns; that fall particulars are given of affairs that in the old times would have been passed by with a short and unsatisfactory paragraph, and that in the hurry whichis inseparable from the management of a newspaper which aims to keep the public au courant to the very latest news, crrors are often made, and what are called mare’s nests frequently exploited. A New York journal ventilates every subject of public inte- rest without fear, faver or affection, and the same thing cannot be said with trath of any other newspapers in the world. Ofcourse there mast be occasions when a “horrid tragedy” or an atrocious murder turns out to be nothing more thana “melavcholy suicide” or a “fatal acci- dent.” Bat it is all one to the country editor. He takes the first report, and fires off his battery at it, with the fixed intention of using up New York ard the New Yorkers so that they will never hope again. Just now the country editor isin his glory. Some of our infected districte—euch as the Fourth ward—have been unusually turbulent: Some half breed Irish and American scamps have been stabbing each other—some European cut- throats have been turning their steel against each other's breasts—therefore the rural presses at Boston and elsewhere let off terrible jeremiads about us. Inferential- ly they tell their readers that there is no city in the world #0 utterly lost as New York. On the other hand, many metropolitan presses Jament the increase of crime all over the country, and predict the most terrible results from it. Now, it is quite true that crime has increased in our cities quite as rapidly as the population, perbaps in some instances more 0; but there is another view to be taken of it than the luga- brious one that is ventilated by our lachrymose cotemporaries. Crime of all kinds is a disease. It is a morbid aggregation of the ferocious com- bative spirit that is implanted in every human breast—implanted wisely, because from it flows the instinct of eelf-protection, self. preservation, and, if rightly directed, all the manly virtues— courage, faith, constancy, firmness, the inclina- tion to protect the weak against the strong, chivalry, gallantry, devotion. Bat this instinct, misdirected, turns man into a wild beast, always biting and eoarling at bis fellow; all the worst pastions are developed, all good aspirations, all home » affections, crushed out. Society makes this man an outcast, and treats his disease as with the actual cautery. And so he proceeds, from bad to worse, bringing up with a violent death, legal or illegal; to his class it matters little whether the warrant of three Judges or the knife of an old comrade scnds him into the dresd presence of Him that searches all hearts, ‘The only outlet for such passions is in murder on # great ecale, like the war which is now going onin Europe. That gives an outlet for all the turbulent epirits of all classes, whether it be the elegant duellist of the jockey club, the ensao- guined ouvrier of the Faubourg Saint Antoine, the mischievous gamin of Paria, the bloodthirsty leaders of the Marianne, the hungry chief of the Carbonari, the fierce Zouave, or the treacherous 1859. ‘seco alata ctr dae RES te ena brave, There they can all Kash, cut and cures Asay ot eoeh orber, bettiog out their black along With (heir red blood, on ficlds already saturated Sib the blood of professional killers who have eve before them any Gime there thousand years or more The wor tikes off al these, bad epirite The strfermess of military rule compels ther to turn al} ir atention to the cuttiog of the ehetuy’s Cbrouts, and thetr sbreoce coutributes io A VAY great degree to the quict of the Europeav cies Here s ¢ have the dogs of war chained iu their Keppeis, aod they wust gouw each other, We have vot let them shp since the war with Mexico when they bad ouly a tantaliziog svift of blood ‘The filbustering expesitions opened a vew field which might be cultivated to advav tage.

Volumeer Military Organizations—Bingiand Foliowlug a Good Kxample. Yeeterda company of the militia of Wiscon- sin arvived in thiscity from Milwaukee, adistance of athousand miles, upon an excureion, at thelr own expense. At Buffalo and Albany, en route. bey were well received and escorted by mili- tary companies in thoee cities; and here in New York they were received by one company of the Seventy first regiment of militia, while another isortered to assemble on Tuesday morning to show the Milwankee boys the lions. The com pany is to bave its quarters during its stay at the Astor House. It is thus we do up our military matters in this country. We have a million of men in arms, all volunteers and soldiers con amore—and all witbout expense to the government. We havea million and a half of just such well drilled men as these regularly enrolled in the United States. They are called militia and target companies, but they are the right kind of troops for a sudden emergency. Time was when the writers of the British presse ueed to despise and laugh at our volunteer military organizations; but if they forget the lesson taught them at New Orleans, they have bardly forgotten another one taught them by the Mexican war, ten years ago, when those same troops assaulted and cartried by storm the greatest fortresses of the enemy, and when at the battle of Buena Vista asmall baud of riflemen utterly destroyed the flower and the chivalry of the regular Mexi- can army, including a magnificent body of caval- ry, in the open plain. Now, when the English people are terribly alarmed about invasion, they take a leaf out of he American book, and they organize volunteer rifle companies after our model, and numerous advertisements appear in the Englich papers re lating thereto, very like what are constantly ap- pearing in the New York press. We are glad to tee this onward movement in England. Only place arms in the hands of the people, and teach them how to use them, and they will not only offer an effectual resistance to invasion, but they will learn how to conquer their rights from an aristocracy who have oppressed them for centu- ties, For agreat number of years the English people have been the most unwarlike of European bations—a strange anomaly, while their armies were conquering half the world. But these armies chiefly consisted of the Irish and Scotch, and the English peasant and townsman was not permitted to possess or carry a gun lest he should kill the game of the country, to which the no- bility aseeried an exclusive right. But that is all changed now. As long as there was no danger of invasion by sea, the only mode in which England can be invaded, it was the interest of the aristocracy to keep the people without arma. But now that steam navies make invasion practicable, and now that France is en- gaged in a war which may become European in its extent, and embrace “ the tight little island” in its vortex, the London Zimes encourages the American idea of volunteer military organiza tions—ehows their efficiency and value—says every man here is a soldier, and that England will never be safe until the same can be said of her citizens. We trust, when the English people thus become armed, they will not lay down their weapons eo eoon as the danger of invasion is over. At the time of the Revolutionary war in the British American colonies, a French in- vasion both of England and Ireland was feared, and there was not a soldier to de fend the latter. The Irish were not permit- ted the use of arms, lest they should conquer their independence. The fears of England over- came her prudence. She permitted the enroll ment of volunteers. Immediately eighty thou- eand Irishmen appeared in arms. Before they laid them down they demanded and obtained an independent Parliament for Ireland. Afterwards, by cajolery and treachery, they were induced to disband their organizations, and the result was, that they were robved of their Parliament, and their country deluged with blood by British mer- cenaries. Let the English people therefore take this opportunity of securing a second Magny Charta, as the armed Barons wrested the first from King Jobn at Rannymede. But never let ‘bem part with their arms or break up their vo untcer organizations. Tbus, and thus alone, wil! they be a match for the oligarchy who keep them down by a standing army, enpported by taxce wrung from the sweat of their own brows, Wat Jvvoe Rvssent, Has Dose iw tie Geyerst, Sesstons.—The May term of the Court of General Sessions, which was extended by Judge Russell—who availed himself of the provirions of a recent act—in order to expedite the public business and aid in “clearing” the overcrowded prisons before the hot weather ar- tives, was brought to a close yesterday by the conviction and sentence of Felix Sanchez for the morder of Harman Carnon, in Sullivan street.

Tue Pawnsyivanta Repcviican Strate Con- veNTION— GEN. CameRon’s SPRAWBERRY AND CuampaGne Parry.-We publish to-day, from cur own correspondent, the proceedings of the Pevnesyleania Republican or “People’s Party” State Convention, at Harrisborg. The platform adopted is very strongly seasoned with the nig- ger, a8 will appear from the substance of the re- solutions, to wit:— 1. Against “executive intervention to pros trate the will of the people in the States or Tur- titories.”” 2. A protest against “the setional pro-slave- ry policy of the sational administration.” 3. Hostility to “all attempts to enact a Con- greseional slave code for the Territories,” and ‘continued hostility to the extension of slavery over the Territories,” 4. A denunciation of all movements for the “revival of the African slave trade, as shock- ing to the moral sentiment of the ealighteacd portion of mankind ” 5. Aresolution in favor of “the encourage ment of home preduction and American indus- try” as “one of the first duties of our goveri- ment,” 6. Denounces “the reckless and profligate ex- truvagunce of the national administration.” 7. Glorifies Mr. Grow’s free farm, or Home- stead bill, 8. Goes for the “purity of the ballot box,” and the correction of “all frauds upon the naturaliza- tion lawe.” 9. Is in favor of the reshipment of foreign criminals back to the countries from which they may come, 10. Is a general invitation to “all men of ali par'ies to join us.” 11. Is a puff of the course of Gen. Cameron in the Senate. It will thus be seen that the nigger, “cooked in every style,” occupies all the front seats ot the Pennsylvania republican eynagogue, and that Mr. Grow, with his bill of free farms for every: body (at the expense of the public treasury aud the tax-payers of the country), follows close be hind. We presume that, as the democracy of Pennsylvania, after the fashion of their New York brethren, have quarrelled and split up their party over the spoils, thut the opposition will walk over the course as they did lust year. We think so from the “happy accord” which appears to prevail among all the odds and ends of the so-called “people’s party,” under the manage ment of the republicans; but in this we may be mistaken. The crowning ceremonies of endorsement of the proceedings of the Convention in question came off at the country residence of General Cameron, to which he has given the expressive Caledonian name of “Lochiel.” And truly that Sestival of strawberries and cream, champagne, &c., was @ brilliant idea. Napoleon the Third. while in the transition state of President of the French republic, won over the hearts of the army with his free lunches of sausages and champagne, the very stuff for French soldiers. General Ca- meron, in substituting strawberries and cream for the sausages, may have been playing an equally successful game among the “people’s party” of Pennsylvania. The stomach has an immense influence over the human mind upon all questions, religious, moral and political. It was the hunger of the French people that drove out the Bourbons, as it was the satisfied stomache of the French army that restored the Napoleonic empire. If a minister of the Gospel, feeding upon one parish at the rate of five thousand a year, receives from another parish an offer of ten thonsand, he considers it ‘a call,” and off he goes to answer it. George Sunders, for the last tec or fifteen years, has been setting up and putting down Presidents, and thrones and empires, through his luxurious appliances to the stomachs of managing politicians. His theory is that the brains of men are in their stomachs, and the his. tory of the world, civilized and barbarian, shows that he is not very wide of the mark. We are, therefore, apprehensive that this etrawberry and champagne festival of General Cameron, at “Locbiel,” will prove the warning of “Lochiel” to Seward. In this matter of feedin,: General Cameron has hit upon the highest trump card of the Washington lobby. This fact is well known, for when the Chevalier Webb proposed in bebalf of “Lawrence, Stone & Co.” to work as alobby man for “free wool,’’ all that he asked was a free house at Washington for the session, anda good supply of provisions and liquors, with which to convince the members of Congress that “free wool” was the true policy of the go. vernment. Depend upon it, these strawberries of “Lochiel” will work to the disadvantage ef Seward. Scypay Brearuryes ABROAD AND Scnpay Smriincs Herx.—While our eanctimonious and self eatistied Puritans are bent on smoothing their own path to Heaven by making the road of lif: on earth weary and joyless to those who are not e0 bicseed with earthly possessions as themselves, moral aud religious England is throwing open her avenues for transit from the city to the country on the day of rest. The following ad- vertisement, which we cut from a late number of the London Times, tells us how the common tense of England views this really great ques- tion:— The Sunday ¢xcursions by the Southeastern Railway to Ramegate, Margate, Dover, Hastings, Canterbury, at 8.35 4.

On the other hand, will aay oae—can any one- claim that the working clusses of our city, who are compelled by the exigencies of life to hard labor from Mouday morn to Satarday eve, have. u'greater respect for the Sabbuth, practise more de voutly their religious duties, or fulfil more scrupa cusly their moral obligations of sobriety, or have SNES ea EE More cure for their fasijies Aud respess for the faws, by belug deprived of the poysical possiblity of leaving its etithsg attwoephere fora few hours on Sanoas, ave breatding the pure aie of the coan- try with their wives and tittle oues? Let thoae Who think so leave for # single Sabbath their curhioned pews and their chapels of case, and vitit the Sunday haunts of vice whtch our city presents in such great numbers. Let them re- flect upon the intemperance, the sloth and the misery which these foster, and them let them on the morrow go to our courts, and ser their docks crowded with squalid criminals, brought there in fuct by a system of vicious legislation, The true sphere of the law making power iv te prevent vice and crime, not to create it; and yet, after eucb a study as we have recommended, no one can fail to be couvisced that our prevent system of enforced Sunday observance is # pro- vocative, and Lot @ preventive of crime, Men everywhere can easily be led, but they can seldom be driven. How mach better, how much wiser, then, would it be to lead our laboring classes away from the vicious hauuty to which they are now restricted by a deprivation of the possibility of visiting with their families purer and more healthy scenes? We would press this subject earnest!y ou the atteution of uvery one who en- tertains a sincere wish to wivance the cause of woral reform in our fast growiog city, without regard to the particular mode and manner of ef- fecting it. Much good may be lost by theie per- tinacious!y insistiog upon its being done in one particular way. Let them unite in calling upou those who control the great iron avenues between the city and country to open their roads to our pent-up Suaday populatiou; and by establishiog cheap and frequent Saodey trains over them, to confer a great boon on our laboring classes, and purge the city and the citizens of much of the vice that now defiles the hath, INPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.
