With reference to the World's Fair, we
learn that a considerable falling off In the
number of visitors was perceptible, occasion
ed by the intense heat or the weather, and
by the insufficient ventilation in tha Crystal
Palace. The Commissioners had set about
the task of remedying this defect, and there
was no doubt their cfTorts would be attended
with success, as largo spaces, for the admis
sion of fresh air, were to be opened both on
the ground floor and in the galleries. By
these means it was hoped that the tempera
ture of the interior would be kept below that
of the outside of the building. On Saturday,
the 28th ult., 1,500 sterling was taken from
the five shilling visitors, and the number of
persons who entered the doois was 11,501.
On Monday, the JOl'n, the one shilling visi
tors contributed 2,469, and 52.87!) people
entered the building. 'On the following day
the attendance was 51,069, and the amount
"talce-fi at the doors 2.429 10s Od.
The Lord jilayor gave a magnificent enter

Lord John Russell, Earl Granville, and many
other notabilities, were present, together
with many foreign guests of distinction-, but
we do not observe the names of any Ameri

A terrific military riot broke out in Liver

VnncK of the Emigrant Smr Halcyon.
Wo regret having to record tho loss ef the
American emigrant ship Halcyon, which
sailed hence on the 17th tilt., with upwards
of 300 passengers, principally Irish and Ger
man emigrants, for New Voi k. The whole
of the passengers and crew, with the excep
tion, of One woman and a child, were provi
dentially rescued from a Watery grave, hav
ing boon humanely taken on boaid, almost
in the last extremity, of the New Voik ships,
Connecticut, Captain Latham, and the Wil
liam H. Wharton, Capt. Gates, laden with
cotton, on their passage to Livoipool. Tlio
Halcyon encountered a heavy gale on the
Rlh inst., longitude being about 57 i and lati
tude 42. within five ot six days' sail of New
York. The ship, from a succession of dis
asters, became totally disabled ; and, not
withstanding the exertions and skill of Cap
tain Wade and his officers; to which the
whole of tho passengers we have conversed
with bear willing and eager testimony, those
on board would most inevitably have per"
ished, had not the vessels alluded to have
rendered timely assistance.
FRANCE;
Our accounts from the French capita! ex

EXTRACT OF A I.KTTEtl FROM THE EDI
TOR, DATEW
Columbia llousie.'CAPt Island, )
Cape May, July 14, 1851. f
The tide of visitors fb this celebrated wa
tering) or rather bathing'placc, is now nearly
at it height, end in a few weeks the hotels
will all be well filled. Visitor are pouring
in every day by hundred, and there are
probably 3000 -persons here. On Saturday
no less than three steamers left Philadelphia,
bringing down probably not less than five or
wx hundred passengers. The Columbia
House, which is considered the most fash
ionable and best kept, is always trie first to
fill up, but Mr. ltarwo6d generally manages
lo accommodate the most who call. The
Susquehanna valley is pretty fully represent
ed, Ihe number is increasing every year.
There are seven or eight individuals here
from Sunbury. Some from WilliamfpOrl,
Milton, and other place?. "Competition for
travellers has brought down the fare t6 a
very low figme. There are now five boats
running between Philadelphia and Cape May.
The opposition boats, the "Thomas Powell"
and the "Uoger Williams," carry passengers
at one dollar, carriage hire included The
Powell is tho largest as well as the fastest
boat on the line, and is commanded by able
nnd obliging oflicern. The new road from
the landing, in the bay, to Ihe sea shore is a
great improvement on the old sand road. It
is about two miles and a half long, and as
straight as an arrow. Cape May, or rather
Cape Island, as the town is called, owes its
"rifte 'aits' progress-' altogether to its grenj
celebirty rib k bathing plaeo, and its cool and
refreshing 'breezes. As you approach Ihe
place yon dan smell, and almost feel Ihe salt
and moislnepS of the atmosphere, which is
deemed so healthy and invigorating to inva
lids anil those 6f impaired health. The surf
here is said to be finer, than any other plaeo
known, and nothing can be better than the
broad and level beach cf pure white sand.
This beach over whieh the "suVf rolls at high
tide, forms an excellent rdad the next twelve
hours for pleasure carriage's and promena
ding. There is something awfully sublime
to look upon ami contemplate the broad ex
panse of the majestic, ocean, a liackless
waste of three thousand miles. There are
few indeed that would not view with admi
ration and with awe, the never ceasing and
ever rolling waves, only breaking their crests
at the. culminating point, near the shore.
Cape May is unlike any town I ever saw.
It is in fact a town made up of hotels and
boarding houses. Thu hotels are generally
huge white frame buildings, with high porti
coes running along lite front and sides. The
hotels are generally well kept. Boarding, ut
the first class houses, amounts to about SI I
per week, though good accommodations can
be had as low as from So lo $7. The Ixiurs
of bathing are from 4i lo S-i in the morning
for gentlemen with or without dress. At
about II A. M., the great scene of bathing
lakes place, when sometimes a thousand per
sons can be seen in the water. 1 had an op
portunity last evening of seeing thu full
moon rising, as it were, out bf 'he sea. It is
a beautiful sighl and only equalled by the
risii.g sun.
Skiuous AcctrKN-r on the Foirtii. A
shocking accident occurred at Fuedensbuig
Oley lovvnsiiip, early on the morning of the
4th, while several young men were engaged
with a large camion in firing a salute in
honor of the day. Several rouiuls had been
fired in rapid succession, when, as two of
the party, Henry Dengier and hnnon I'eiter,
each about twenty years of age, were about
reloading, ihe charge prematurely exploded,
before the rammer had been withdrawn,
and wounded both of them very seriously.
The ri utit hand of young Dengler was so
.Ireadfiilly shattered, that it had lo be am
putated nbcvB Ihe wrist ; ami his face and
breast were also severely burned. Ueiter
lost two lingers from his If ft hand ; the two
other fing ers of the same hand were broken,
and tho arm was badly burned and wouu-

tained, and hopes were indulged that the in
juries would not prove fatal ; although at

iVogrtu ot lli KhKir War.
Boston, July 14.
The English brig Flib'berty, from the
Cape of Ooort Hope, arrived yesterday,
bringing dales to the lSih frlay, which are
nearly two weeks later than our last previ
ous accounts via England.
The English steamer Vulcan had arrived
at the Cape, with 700 troops on board, and
several additional detachments from Eng
Innd were expected. The war still ronlin.
lied, but the English troops, notw ithstanding
they had Ven considerably reinforced, were
making "hut little headway. 'Capt. Tylden
had aWvere battle with a large Kaffir force,
in which the latter lost over 200 killed, be
sides many wounded. The loss of the
English was inconsiderable.
Several additional detachments of levies
had been raised, and some of these had
marched on I lie 28th April for Ihe interior,
which was infested by Kaffir nnd Hottentot
marauders. Several skirmishes had taken
place between these detachments and the
rebels, in one of which the English troops,
under Major Dotiovaiu defeated tiie rebels
with a loss of over 300 killed.
The Katlirs still continue obstinate, with
no disposition lo seek 'terms of peace, and
all kinds of business at Cape Town was at a
stand still.

The Washington correspondent of tTi'e
New York Express, under date of the 10th,
says ;
"I have Seen to day a foretaste of the
claims which the Government of Mexico is
preparing against the Government of the
United States, for not fulfilling the terms of
the treaty of San Luis Potosi. These claims
are coming here in shoals, nnd those 1 saw-
to day in the taints of a single individual
were lo the amount of SI 1.000. The gen
lleman who held them was a Mexican, and
in his opinions, the whole amount of new
claims will exceed sixteen atilliaas nf dol
lar ! )
"They grow out of a violation of the arti
cle of the Treaty, by whieh the United
Slates was pledged to protect the Mexicans
on tho frontiers from Indian depredation
and spoliations. They demand remunera
tions now for houses burnt, cattle driven off,
and a geneial waste of lliey say to thu

letters from the Levant announce that a
question has been raised between France
and ihe Ottoman Porte in relation to the
possession of the Holy Sepulchre. The
French Ambassador claims it for the Ro
man Catholics, while the Porto replies that
the Sultans have always attributed its own
ership to the Greeks, and that it is therefore
Impossible to take it from I hem.
Here is something more than a mere reli
gious fact. A political question of the fust
importance is invo'ved. ihe possession of
the Holy Sepulchre yiehted to the Greeks, is
the abandonment of the protectorate of the
Cliristains in the East, exercised by France
from time immemorial ; it is, at the same
time the intrusion of Russian influence in
the affairs, not of Turkey, but of the Chris-
tain East, which is a very dillrirent ihin.
It is known that the Emperor of Russia con
siders himself, and is considered by the
schismatic Greeks, as the spiiitual chief of
the Greek Church Catholic; , but not Ro4
man. Whatever is done hi Turkey by the
Greek schismatics against the temporal au
thority of the Sultan, and against the French
protectorate of the Christians, results to the
advantage of tho C.ar. It is lo be hoped
llkal the French Government will open its
eyes to the jflots which am in operation lo
deprive it of one of i!s most precious prero
gatives in the East.

Dear Sib ; It having been erroneously
nssoited in a public print, that most of the
persons who were signers of the Protest
against the nomination of James Campbell
as Judge of the Supremo Court, have recant
ed their p-rotest and subscribed to a paper
agreeing to support h'13 nomination, I feel
it to be my duty, that I may not be mis
understood, to make it public through you,
that I still adhere to the opinions nnd prin
ciples expressed in that Protest. I signed
that paper from a sense of duty and princi
ple. I therein asserted that James Camp
bell was incompetent, nod 1 can not see that
his nomination has 'renrternd him competent
or made him fit for a high place which should
be filled by a man of learning, worth nnd
talent, and which he has sought and obtain
ed by such indirect and crooked means.
I still oppose him. I opposo him because,
ho is incompetent. I oppose him berauso
he has dragged into the contest a religious
tost, and sought to shelter his incompetence
under the protecting shadow of an ancient
and sacred church, w hose hallowed purity
he would soil with the contaminating touch
nf partisan politics.
For my own pari no one will dare accuse
me of bigotry or "superstitions opposition to
the Catholic Church. Within two years
past, one who is dear to me with my consent
and approval, under a sensi? of conscientious
duty, adopted that faith, arid has become ri
rigid member of that Church It would he
the same to me if il were Methodism, Pres
byterinnism, or any otk)er sect. I would op.
pose its intrusion into politics.
The Judicial question riser, far-, Tar above,
party politics, nnd while I will give my
adhesion to my party nominations upon all
other Subjects', I will openly oppose incom
petent aspirants for Judgships nnd hold that
man lo be prima facia, unworthy wlio sepks
to force himself upon tho Bench by the
powetof party discipline. The Bench should
be sacred and above all mean influence.
Men should be placed there, who by pure
lives, solid attainments, and clear minds,
could command Ihe place, not seek it.
.lames Campbell is unfit. His nomination
was obtained by contrivance and 1 believe
such iniquity can not piosper.
I am, with sinceiity, your friend.
