We call especial attention to this letter, because the .iceeimts hitherto -,'iveti of the fiacas, in LrU pRfJOI with others, appear t<i have been oue-sideaj and uijust. They were right in RlainiLg ILe "I\'u?-l'gl.es. t\ ho went over from Baltimore %% bully at the Polls; but they were orroi g in justifying the unlawful ami murderous fusHade by the Federal Marines, by which tifteeu or twenty lives t?crc needlessly sacrificed. It i? clear, from our correspondent s review of the tes? timony, tbat the rings were by no means tiie only, and perhaps uot the ti oal tkolajoai triitisj;ressors on that occasion. Let us hear and hctd the truth. The steamer Columbia arrived yesterday in lesa tbati twelve du)s from Liverpool. She brings no positive news from India, but some interesting de? tails which bad cot bofoie reached u?. Iu England. Lord John Rusm U has brought up the Jew bill in anew shape. It appearg that an act of I'arli un ? ,. pM* J durihg the reign of William IV., with re. gard to oaths adm-nistered by puldic bodies, is thotight to do aw ay with the'oath which the .lews cu not take ou entering ratiiament, and to su'isti trite an inui cu-us declaration instead. This eua ?truetinu of the act is new. and w ?t accideutally discovered: and after an earneit debate on two ?7eniags, a large eOaRmittaM has boon appointed by tbe House tti Commons to inquire iuto it. Tne aqueJron with the sub marine oaUe was BXpootod to commence laying it on the ,'th inst., aud we aball probably hear of its progress by the ne\t B'.eamer. NapoIrHin III. and his wile were a!>out to riait Queen Victoria, at the Isle ol Wight.

The " alaerlcana ' of our State are to hold a Con ?fctioti some time next month turthenomination of a State Ticket. The oi ly deunirt I this movement U k-ased on its mauifeit lack of good faif?.

Hut thii Att^erlcat^? move oa tbe politiaal cheis-bt^rd it a feint, do aigned to aid Ihf Slave Tower in its war on Free Labtr. IsRit y*?:, C/r.eHurilredTbo'isa?'d F.lecrors ,f cu State, wita m uiaDy ihk iu i'euuayiv,ui?| Indiana and Illinoi?, voted for Fillmore in good faith as *' Americans," not at tendon and tide-waiter* of tbe Slave Democracy. They ware assured by their accustomed lexers tbat Fillmore had a good clam??? that he would carry at leaat New-York, Maryland. Kentucky,Tennessee. North Can lira and Louisiana, and thus throw the elec? tion into the Houte, where hia chance was at least an ?Ten one. Believing thin, the rank and file r-truggled and voted for Fi'lmore; and when th>' re turr.s showed but a single State carried for him, they wer- amazed b\ the exulting declaration! of tbe wireworkeri that they had accomplished their crd in defaating Fremont and electing Buchanan. Tbey are not amhitioui to do more of that unpnid journej-work of the Slave Power. An ' American" ticket will be run in our State this Fall simply and solely for the benefit of the Save Demc.er.iey. Its concocters have not the leant idea of its election, and will be very ?hy of letting their <>wn names go U}?on it ui.less for a con? sideration. The calculation iiiimply tbat the dupes will go on voting it as usual, while the knaves will plump directly, if not openly, for the Slave l >emoc racj's candidate*. Tbey *ee by the result* of the re-cent Southern Flection* that "Sim" it really dead?that the People, on betb tides of Mason and DixOaVl line, regard the Slave question a* pira rnount, and are determined to settle it before they address themselves in earnest to what tbey regard as subordinate issues?and they will not bo turned aside from their purpose. It is Slavery, not Democ? racy, which has just carried North Carolina, Kentueky.and Tennessee; it is Slavery, net Democ? racy, which has just hat, or nearly lost, Mi?-niri. Tbe intelligent know this, and the honett admit it. There i* no room to-day fo? a political contest re? garding Nativism and Foreiguisin, and they who profes* to be engaged In such a contest prove ttiat another issue predominates, even in their minds, whenever they come to act decisively in Congress or elsewhere. " l ather," inquired a horse-jockeyton who bad been directed to ride a horse forth and back beieath the paternal inspection, "am I to ride this bom- to huy or to .-<// ' *' The Know-Nothing nag is trotted out this year to sell, as the jockeys will betray by the selection of names for their ticket. If there be any Pro-Slavery men who choose to vote that ticket, so be it; but we entreat all who ?refer that Free Labor i-hould triumph in Kansa* and everywhere to vote so as to make that prefer? ence felt. Tbe grave importance which the revolt of India has assumed will, we imagine, render acceptable the follow ing narrative of its origin and progress: Tbe first symptoms of dissatisfaction in the Bengal army appear to have displayed themselves in the month of January. They appeared at first in the ll'th native regiment at tbe military sta? tion of Bcrbampore, a hundred miles or more north of Calcutta, and close to Moorshedabad, the former capital of Bengal. The men of this regiment com plained that tbe grease aupplied for greasing the cartridge* for a new rifle, with whicli the regiment bad been lately armed, was animal fat, which they could not touch without dwiger to their caste. As soon as this dissatisfaction waa brought to the notice of the (Governor-(General, orders were issued and telegraphed to nil the sta? tion* in I 'pper India, in which a like uneasiness had shown itself, tbat no more greased catridtrea almuM be issued, but that the men should bo allowed to purchase their own grease in the bazars. Au idea however appears to have ?pread that the <iov crnmcnt had some covert intentions iathe matter, and the men continued so unruly that Col. Mitchell, Ihe commander of the atation, resolved to disifrm them. To hi* order to lav down their arms, backed as it was by the European troop* at the station, they finally yielded, but only on condition that the nrtilWy which had been pointed at tbom si.ould first be withirawn. Colonel Mitchell w as thought to have been too moderate. It was *aid that, rather thin concede a Lair, he should have blown the regiment to pieces, and it was resolved to make an example of this regiment by disbanding it. The pay of the Mpoyi is, it MMM, seven rupees (about three dollars and a half) a month, very high pay compared with the current rate of wages. Nor is it exactly true, as commonly stated, that the sepoy cannot hope to rise above the ranks. There are, in fact, In the native armies, two grades of commissioned officers tilled by natives, the Jcumdali and the Soobadih, one of each grade to every company, aud at each regiment ha- a Boobodab majar, there are in each reo.mint twenty-onecommi ssionod native offices. The pay of aSoobadah it ISO rupee* (about ijCi) a month, equal in amount to that of an ensign, and, taking relative expenses into account, equivalent, for all purpose-; of laying up money, to the pa. of a major or lieutenant-colonel. There is, beside-, the chance which tbe native ollieer* hu\e of obtaining the title of the Babadoor, -Tbe Brave," or " The Noble." and of being admitted to the "Order of .Merit of Briti>h India." not a mere empty honor, but carrying a pension along with it. As, in th? BeogfJ aimy. promotion, so far at the natives are concerned, goes by seniority, each sepoy ma> ex pect to attain to the honoi> and emoluments of Babadoor. The ranks are not filled by levy or im? pressment, but by voluntary enlistment, and as no recruits, of which there have always been plenty offering, are received beyond a certain age, the disbandment not only deprived all the native officen and older soldiers of their present position, but weuld cut on all chance of ever regaining it. Is furtherance of the plan of disbandment. the l!?th regiment was m.ircbed to Barraekpore, near Calcutta. Since the removal of the artillery headquarters to Meerut in l'pper lnd:a in I-1 I, tin QajeeaVl troops iu Calcutta and the neighborhood had been reduced to a regiment or less. That waa the case at this moment, w hile at Barraekpore there were *ome 6,000 native troopj. < >f these, two or three icgimci.t- it was thought could be depended SB, but a* some of the Barraekpore troops, partic? ularly the34th regiment, were understood to sym? pathize with the Ltth, in order to make all *ure, the di.-bandment was delayed till a C^ieen's regi? ment bad been brought from Burinah and parts of other regiments called in. On the '."th of March, the troops were drawn up on parale, the Qasttl'i regiments with tbe cavalry afld artillery occupying one side, and tLe native troops tbe other. The l!Uh, which bad been baited outside was then marched in between them and di.-bauded. But this example did not produce the effect exp?vte I, and it became necesaary soon after to disband the 34th regiment also. But neither did thi? new example have the expected effect. The same dis? satisfaction with the great cd cartridges began to show itself at other r.t.itioii-, and in particular in the distant atation of Meerut, about forty mile* from Delhi, aud the headquarters of the artillery, i he lines at Meerut covert large ipaee of ground divided into two parts, OUC iVr the unlive, the other for the European troops. At the coin inencement of May, there were in the Euro? pean lines about 2,2tH) men. The native forre consisted of tho .-i Eight Cavalry, sod the Uta and 20th regiment* of Native Intantry. Amr?og the men of the cavalry corps, the ouestion of the greased cartridges waa freely agitated, of which the result was that eighty-five men of the corps, re? fusing to handle the cartridges, were tried by court martial aitd sentenced to various terms of imprison? ment with hard labor. On the 9th of May, their sentences were re.id out on parade, and the offen? ders marched off to jail. Up to this time, the dissatisfaction had chiefly shown itself by incendiary firet, of which there had been one or more within tbe lines almost every night. On the afternoon of the H tb, while many of tbe Koropeaas were at Church?lor it was Sunday?the men of the two native regiment*, the 11th and -0th, as if by previous concert, assembled in tumultuous bodies on the parade-ground. Several officers bur- I ried from their quarters, to endeavor to pacify J them, among others Colonel Fernet, of the I Ith, I who was shot down while adjressijig a party I of the JOth. At thit moment, the troopers of the .Id Native Infantry sprang oat of I their quarter* to join the iniurcrtt intaitry. The J whole body, aow thoroughly excited, rushed I through the lntive part of the eantoisaent, every J officer's house waa fired, and ertry English man, I woman or child tbf t fell in their way, was pit?- J Jesily massacred. Many, howew, succeeded in I making their escape to the Luroyesn lines. Mean- I while, the European troops wire called out aud j marched against the satire Urn s. Hut tbsy were | too late to save life or property, aod, night falling, the revoiters effected their escape by flying unpur med to the open co'."try. Same of them, probably I most of them, made their way to Delhi, distant ! about forty stiles. The garrison of this important I city, where there were very largs araeaals. con listed solely of three nativt registesti, with a com- I pany of native artillery. On tie arrival of the I mutineer.-', the infantry ran at once to arms, and I forced tbe artillery bo join then?the latter, it it J said, stipulating for th>-saf--ty of their ?licsrs, who I etcaped to Mcerut. The infantry murdered their J own officers, and then began to rue riot through J j the city. They took possesiitn uf the fort, the palace of the titular King of Delhi and *f the Civil I Station, murdering all the Europeans they could lay I their handt on, to the number of a hundred and twenty ?.i : the Europeans in tbe city, OXOOft s I dozen or fifteen, w ho escaped. The great maga- I zine of the arienal was saved from filling I into their hands by the gallantry of Lieutenant I WilJoughby, who blew it up, aDd many of the um- j tineers along with it. He escipsj the effect of the explosion and arrivid, though much burnt, at I Murat. The mutineers seized the Bank of Delhi, I in which were ?15(1,000 in specie; but, while I repudiating the I'.ritish authority, they aeknow- J ?edged that of the titular King of Delhi, and it was I by ;i letter from him to Lieiiteniiiit-C-overnorColvin I at Agra, a hundred miles south of Delhi, that intelli- j gern? wat first obtained, of what had happened at I Mcerut aud Delhi, the mutineer* bavin,; for two or j three dayt ttoppe?! all coinmiinication. Mr. Colvin issued, on the 1 Ith of May, a proc- I lamation placing Delhi and Agra under nmrtial I Isw. and another disavowing nny mtsiit to inter? fere with the religion of the natives?apprehensiou J upon which point was supposed to have led to the I revolt. On the Itith, n similar proclamation was I issued by the OsratSatf CrSSSSral at Calcutta, and J calls for tronpt were forthwith dispatched by tale- I uraph and steam to Bombay, M ulras, Hununb, I Ceylon, Mauritius and the Capo of (lood llp|?e. I Calcutta itself was thrown into the greatest alarm, J ami on the Htb a native regiment was disnruied, I accused of conspiring to seize J'ort William. Most I of the European inhabitants provided themselves j with arms, to be prepared against juy rising of the I natives. General Ansou, the Oommander-in-Ohief, who J at the time of the revolt was at a hill station north j of Delhi, recruiting hit henlth, hastened to I'm- I nullah, a stntion on the road from Lahore to Delhi, j and distant from the latter a hundred miles or I more. Here were tome European troops; but, be? fore they could advance on Delhi, it became neves- I sary to disarm two native regiments wbish bad I shown sigut of dissatisfaction, and to wait alto for a siege-train. The first English troopt to appear J before Delhi were those from Meerut. Oq the 90th J of May, at a village rilteen miles from that city, they j encountered a body of rebels, from whom they took 1 five guns. Some daj I after, the forces from I'm- I ballah arrived, now under the command of General Bernard. General Anton having died of cholera, and on the Ml of June they drove the rebels from a position tbey bail assumed outside the walls and I captured twenty-sis guns. On the l-ith or l."?th of I June, a second sortie made from the city was re- I pulsed with heavy lost; but on the 10th of June, J whi.h is the lateit date from the camp before J I kslki, the rebels still maintained pottession. The J FngltafctVOOfa, even with the reeuforcementt on J the way, would hardly amount to tlx thousand, j Some important and interesting statements respect- I ing the fortifications and seige of Delhi will be fouud J in a letter from London, which we print iu another column. Meanwhile. Sir John Lawrence, commanding in j the l'unjaub, receiving new s of tie revolt by electric j i telegraph, disarmed seven native regiments, and to | maintained Englitb authority io that quarter. Sir I Henry Lawrence, who had commenced disarming some disaffected regiment* before tbe Meerut revolt, succeeded in doing the same thing in j Oude; but, at a general thing, though the irregu- I lars were mostly faithful, all the regular native I regimenta had mutinied or had been disarmed. There were, however, some advantage! in thit I general mutiny. The disaffected troopi bad either I K uttered and vanithed, or hid marched oil to Delhi; and the Outeu'* soldiers, thus relieved from the necessity of watching doubtful regiments, were left free to operate in the field. Wherever conflicts bod occurred, the Kuropean tro ?ps had maintained their wonted superiority: and, notwithstanding the rebel force in Delhi far outuuubtred them and were abundantly supplied with srtiilery, though not with artillerymen, the fall of that city was daily looked for. Meanwhile, roeofurcements were arriviug at Calcutta from Ceylon, Burmnh and Madr; ft, Two regiments just retimed from Persia bad made their appearance very opportunely at B, mbay, and had been tent by .team to Calcutta the European inhabitant! of which city had been organized into volunteer corps bv way of def, me agninit an apprehended Mohammedan insurrection. The troopt on tbe way to China were to be inter? cepted, while seine ten or fifteen thousae.J ?tots troops had beendispstclied from England. But until newt arrivesof the fall of Delhi and the dup*rsi..n of tLe large rebel force there cdlected, the authority ef tbe English in India must be coneidered rather pra carious. If that* ?.?? to he a revolt, [m fcsj ?b. I even if allowed to select the time fur it. could hardly have choaen a more favorable one for them? selves. The cloae of the Peraian P ar, and even the Chinese war, in having led to the dispatch of a large force to the Kast, are both lucky incidents. The passion of thepublic is for Lndividaal crimes. Wkc n the particular! are brought ? at iti tine relief before m?when we have preaent the very radmrer and the very nurderer, we look on with a passion? ate interest, and read reams ot morning newspa? pers, as we read libraries of fiction in our child? hood. We must have the smallest particular. ? >f all homicides we demand portraits. Of all house* in which slaughter has l ean committed we request ground-plans. Of all weapons employed in human hntcbery we expect accurate delineations. In this strange taste we are epicures. We are cloyed by too many auassiDations, and there may he a glut of rapes or burglaries. To be sure, since this year came in there haa been no lack of variety: there has been crime enough and to spare. Altnoit every morning we have been properly shocked by horrors as well as sustained by our eggs and toast. The last great wickedness promised to be a permanent exhilarant, but the spice and wine of it is gone. Mrs. Cunningham is well behind the bolt and bar of the Tombs?the young women have recovered from their fits of faintnesi?No. 31 Bund street has even now subsided into an ignoble and undistin? guished domicile?the picture papers have gone to the length of their tether?we await with anxiety a new crime. We are weary of Mrs. Cunniughain. Bring in a new malefactor! Good Heavens! was there ever before such sto? lidity ' Ah ! if wo nice people had only to search for our provender ! To be sure, the intellectual and physical labor would not be over-fatiguing, and who? ever might be at pains to keep his eyelids buttoned back, would have eneugh, certainly, of the amuse? ment and instruction of which crime is capable. Beggars harms us in the streets. Boys slide up to us in the hotels and proffer their obscene mer? chandise. The impudent blustering of the mock auctioneer resehei our ears as wo pa-, down Broad? way. We cannot stop it a shop window without feeling a pickpocket fumbling near us. Painted prostitutes salute ni upon the pavement, or from the casements of their dens. The rattle of dice is audible in many a house outwardly respectable. The crimes which we start at are real virtues iu comparison with the crimes w bich we read of with indifference. Take the destruction of a single hu? man souJ. A boy cm.. - to this city, because the parental home is too poor to retain him, or because parental fondness seeks for him nu employment of more consideration than tbat of agriculture. He comes here pure, followed by a father's hopes, and b) the prayer* of a mother, proud of him even in her humility before her tied. At once the youth is in the very vortex of temptation. livery passion is appealed to. He mu>t wear purple and fine linen. He must indulge in ;? hundred expense* which which would swallow up a large income, aud finish in a month his own meaner stipend. He finds no lack of instructors. The bar-rooms invite him; abandoned women wheedle him: the faro-table attracts him. Then comes peculation from his master's till, or a larceny of Ml master's goods? exposure?perhaps conviction and a prison. There is wretched weepiug ami wailing iu the old homo stead?there is a manly sorrow and a motherly agony, neither of?which can be appreciated, *ave by tboae who 1 ave felt them. These eases are of daily occurrence in New-York, and though they aie not provocative of extras and of wood cuts, v\e may be >ure that they are productive of incom? putable misery and ruin. Jo t us take another illustration. A poor girl is met by a monster and violated. That, depend upon it, is something for the public appetite. The reporter*, the engravers, and the policemen are especially bri?k upon such occasions. But no feet ing is excited by the thousands of betrayed women who every night perambulate our streets, Hinging their foul invitations into the face* of the inexpe? rienced and the weak. We ihnddef over a suppos? ititious child, but we do not shudder over this wreck of womaiily virtue, aud af honorable maternity. And yet another! Huntington, with immeuse clangor of judicial trumpets, is conducted to pris ob. Wall street look* virtuous for twenty four hour*. But neither in Wall *treet nor in those other streets dedicated to show and fashion do we tind tbat the lesson has been appreciated. There i? the same gambling for a fortune; the same love of tine houses, of expensive dressei, of sumptuous furniture, of fast horses, ot grand dinners, of costly mistresses. There is no excitement until another Huntington is detected. Then, indeed, we are magtiiticetitiy loud-mouthed. If society would but bestow one half the inter? est upon the cause* of crime which it concede* to crime when full blown and detected, there would be stnhller call upon the hysterical capabili? ties of our constitutions. If, iustead of spasmodic honor, we coud have a well-regulated determina? tion to remove cauaes, we might not be called upon to shake *o tremulously over effects. Still, we fear that society will not immediately forego the rare luxury of being shocked by what i* infrequent, and of being titillated b) what is peeuliarly hor? rible. _ Tbe Kng'i?h Divorce bill has been read a aecoud time in the House of Commons by a tteeJrivi ma? jority, und may now be regarded as sure to pass. It may perhaps be somewhat altered in committee; but as that would make a necessity of *eailiQg,it back again to,the House of Lords, tbe fear of mcetirg diff.cultic* there may, it is likely! prevent my contiderable changes. An extract, which we have civen elsewhere from the opening ipeechof the Attorney-General contains a very valuable eketch of the history of the linglish law of divorce, and of the objects of the present bill. The bill, however, goes tome what further than the Attorney General's statement in this part of hit speech would wem to imply. It btooAaOOl i v-orcant improvements into the matter i f divi.ree- from bed at.d board?a nema tt t<iro?the name ti which it change* to, what they are in reality, "judicial separations." As the law stands at presr.it, the ct nseqtiences of these separations are imperfect and unsatisfactory. Tie separated wife still re? mains ettitied to dower, aad the huibaad to the property of the wife: aud cases iccur i't which, when the wife Lad obtained one of the-e separa? tion* en tLe gr< und if the adultery or crue. m.sbe bavior cf the hutbind, yet thia husband eooH come iu and sweep away any property which ihe might inherit ?.r acquire, and appropriate it |o th* gratification of his own evil pr-pensitie*. The ntw b;il include* provision! to meet these ctte*. The questloi. 00 thi Metal reading was debated with great pertinacity for two n^hts, and ailorded, like the test (f the c:>po*iton weich the bill has c> tmt*Mti,tl 90ft from a few who ta<-ng&t :t lid iwt go dz iiwffci ?. natal illiatalioi of u* spirit of tie English orUtocraCf Rad of the Eogiuh Church. The object of the bill it to extend to the English middle classes the same privileget t-o the subject of divorce which have for two centuries past been en joyed by the rich; t<> put it in the power of any Kcgliab subject to obtain, by the expenditure of two or three hundred dollars, s boon the enjoyment of which has hitherto been limited to those who could afford to spend ten thousand dollars?that being about the lowest amount needed to carry through a divorce under the system which now exist*. Thi* proposal, however, i* very ?hocking to -luite a number of members of Parliament, who, if | they have not actually voted for special divorces, have at leatt suffered them to pass without protest. They discover all at once that by religion and law marriage is ixdisi? luble under any circumstance*, and that the same privilege on this subject enjoyej by tbe few cannot be extended to the m*wy without danger cf ai utter ditsolution of manners. The English clergy, always the bulwark of the aristocracy, from which all its higher member* were selected, *tep forward with zeal in the sup? port of existing privilege*. They undertake to male a matter oi conscience of it. So long a* the divorced parties were person* of wealth and position, the clergy seem to have married them again without protest or question ; but the idea of giving the marriage benediction to mere vulgar culprits greatly troubles them, and has led to many petition* against the new bill, to which the English cltrgy sc?-!.: about as generally opposed a* tbey are to allowing a man to marry the sister of his deceased wife. Whether the English law which admit* the remarriage of the guilty party to a divorce is wise or not is a question upon which we exprei* no opinion. In most Protestant countries such marriages are prohibited, though here in the I'nited States the prohibition is con? stantly evaded by celebrating the new marriage in a different State from that in which the divorce was obtained. The point that strikes u* as odd is, that only in thi* particular case do the clergy charge their conscience* with the propriety or morality of the marriages they are called upon to celebrate. The lame principle, fully and con? sistently carried out, would, we apprehend, stop a great many marriages. A clergyman called upon to celebrate a marriage, is bound to satisfy himself that no legal obstacle exist*. I!ut it would net seem necessary to ash any question* for mere con? science sake. _? . Jmmmmr^ The upahot of the interventicu of Jud<je Ingra bam in the Street Commissioner business is, that in his effort* to enjoin other people.be find* himself j ttopped short by two injunctions. The following epilogue is reported to this legal farce: Mr. Hrady? I believe, if your Honor please, that is all unless an injunction should be granted against your leaving town. Mr. Sickles?We shall have an injunction upon our respiratory organs neit. Mr. llrady .md Mr. Sickles and their clients were, it wiH be recollected, tho parties who be? gan this game of injunctions?a game at which it would seem they are nt lust beginning to tiud out that others can play as well a* themselves. Mr. Sickles, it is plain, already feel* the rope about his neck. THE LATEST NEWS, RECEIVED BV MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH. FROM WASHINGTON. Special DWp*tch to The N. Y.

Hia pen glowed with vitality in the acT. traiturc of social justice; his heart was deadened by a course of extravagant living. Soe' was tha ?on of a celebrated French aurgeon, who won du. tinction in tlie army ef Napoleon during the Ruasiaa campaign. He was born in Taris, Deo. 10, N\if and at his baptism the Emprei? Josephine and the Prince Eugene Beauharnai* officiated as sponaort. Having completed his preparatory education, he followed the example ef his father, and entered the army as aurgeon, in which capacity he served ig Spain in la-.':', and was present at the storming of Cadiz and the capture of Trocadero and Tarif?. Tk# next year he entered into the naval sen ice ud made several voyages to the Weat Indie*. JIi he went to Greece aud was preeent in the battle ?{ Navarino. He then withdrew from tbeaervice, and devoted himaelf for a time to the study of paint? ing, especially of marine piecee. Hia first novel, written at the felicitation of hia friends to embody hia experience of travel in a book, was called " Ker. noch the Pirate."

Ai I have previously stated, the diplomatic dif? ficulty with Venezuela concerning Avii Island kit been considered by the Secretary of State, and tat course of the Government has been decided upoi. The contradiction! to which same of your city papers have given currency are untrue, and tuad* m itbout authority. Since the receipt of the car reipoadence between Mr. Kamea aod Sr. 1'intl the subject ha* been further complicated by tat representations of Mr. Wallace and other Philtdei phia speculators in guano, that they held coatracta embracing all the island- belonging to \'onelU?*v, < and entitling tbem to the exclusive right of tatinf and shipping the guano that may he loimd tipM hem. The several partiei have been all heard be- \ ore the Department, and it is privately stated that Mr. EMM will be instructed to return to Carieta about the middle of September and state the de? cision arrived at. The defeat of Mr. Etheredge in Teum ssee, uA ill-election of Mr. h'ollin* in Miasouri, seem to he continued facts. Herein we see the progress of the great revolution beginning to operate iijsun tbe&'iith, and destined to root out. in no long time, tka politi? cal power of Slavery. Missouri arid Maryland are in a transition state from slave to fr-'e labor. Thjy are. therefore, becoming anti democratic, no nut? ter whether the rising party be called Whig, Know Nothing or American. They are opposed to Buifial Fre-Slnvenisni. The same spirit begins to show itself in tbe borders of Virginia. But ebewhere il the South Slavery is nioro fiercely intolerant, mow ferocious and insolent, for the very reason that it feel* itself in danger ou the frontier. Etheredge wu the real representative of a moderate and national sentiment m the South. In Kentucky or Mary laud Mr. E the ridge would have been triumphantJj elected. His defeat in Tennessee was almost cer? tain from the moment he made bis great ?poech condemning the incendiary and fanatieil course of the Demoeracy in agitating the Slavery questioi and in seeking to revive the slave-trade. Theodora Hunt. Culioin and Bentou had been previously sacri? ficed for the same ret eon. They were martyrs tl the fanaticism of Slavery. A* to the other opoor tion members defeated in the South, and the general1 rout of the whole Know-Nothing party of that lection, the result is to lie rejoiced over. Pretend? ing lilt hypocritically to be more devoted to ram? pant Democracy than the Democrats thenaselvei, they met a deserved fate. The shelving of soat pretenders w ill prove the beginning of ? true refer mation in Southern politics. An Antt Slavery El? ten?.on party will c.rise, Boldly avowing its object*, aud that party will in time succeed. Pkmaui'ID. TRIAL OF THE ELECTION RIOTERS; ?orrnputnieuce of Tiie N Y. Tribuo*.
