AFFAIRS IN ESOLAND•r—PiIIIiSIIISIA is to be pro: rogued on the 9th. A motion, which Lord Broug ham previously announced his intention tolimake, as reference to the French expedition in Italy, was' laid upon the fable of peers on Friday. The resolution embodied a wide range of •subjects, and implied a direct ,cenattre of the foreign policies of the govern ment, and it is understood that the envoys and agents in Northern Italy, and in Sicily, will be fully notieed. In the debate which took place on the 20th, in al lusion to the cholera; Lord Ashley, the chairman of the Board, of Health stated in the House of Com mons on Thursday last, that he. had reason to know that not one half of the cases were reported.— Enough, howerer, is officially known to make it cer tain 'that the epidemic is ragiiig in many parts of the country to a dreadful extent. During the last week 339 death by cholera were reported in Lon .otf, which is more than double the number of the preceding week. - Bristol, Plymouth, Portsmouth, and along the whole south coast it is raging in a very malignant form and the•mortality is very great, At Liverpool the disease is rapidly increasing. The number of cases reported .for 4 days previous to Thursday, were reapectively 64. 74, 85, 102. Ireland continues to bo generally exempt from the 56'otirge. IRRLASIDA.-Riots-.ATits CROPS.—AN the 12th, B very, serious riot..took place between a party of arm ed Oraogemen and Catholics, near Castle William, in the county ocDown. The Orange party having celebrated the day, it being the' anniversary of the battle of Atighrao, at Tullymore, and being on•their march home, whilst passing a defile called Dolly's Brae, found their path waylaid. All the passes and surrounding hills were occupied by en immense number of (lonian Catholics, provided with forks and fire-arms 4 and plainly contemplating a general massacre.. 'File-Protestants aided by a small party of police and military, stood upon their defence; and succeed ed in forcing their way through the gapi 'after a short struggle in which 40 or 50 persons are said to have been killed or wounded on both sides,—much -the greater,proportimf being Of.the Roman Cat ho licparty; 38 Ribbonmen had'been taken- prisoners on'Friday. - Two medical gentlemen drove through the country, annul about the scene of the contest, with the view of administering relief to those who werewound,ed, - but they were refused admittance every house where they called: The Cork Examiner in alluding to .the potato .crop, says the disease has appeared in a few fields.

Fai;xce.—The committee of the Legislative As. sembly, to, which the question of the prorogation Was referred. has come to the unanimous decision of recommending that the Assembly should be pro rogued_ from the lsth of August to the 15th of Oc tober.

Toe announces that Prince Catlin", the eon of Lucien Bonaparte, and ex-President of the Roman Constituent Assembly, had bean arrested ut Orleans, by order of the government, on his road from Marseilles to Paris. It is said, that, having a claim against his cousin, Louis Napoleon, for mon ey lent in aid of his election, the Prince was coming to France to demand it, the conduct of hie cousin against Rome having stirred up his ire. It is said that the Prince will nut be imprifoned, but that he will be forced to embark for England or America. The report of M. Cotnbnield Leryel on the low of the Press has been distributed. It is favorable to the measures of-the Goit. The resigilvion of the five Mayors of Paris, has been attributed to some offensiv l e remarks expressed iu a document by the Perfeete M. Berger, amongst others said that it was thelr mi4oritine to live under a Republic. The oiifctioti to fill 35 vacancies in the Legisla tive Altienibly has turned out much more favorable to the Goit than was anticipated. With the ex ception of M. Jules Parer, who Was returned for Lyons, every one of the newly elected members will .support the Goit as .long as the majority held to gether. The Debals sees , great cause for anxiety in the passive victory obtioned in • the elections. A victo ry due entirely to t to fact that' an immense,number of the electors refilined' from voting, ivhich that jouintil says, appea's to be a bad symptom. ' lt is an evil upon which w cannot close our eyes. We are the strongest to-driv, but we can find nothing to atiow that we shallitte so to-morrow. It is admitted by all that a coup de main is probable. The questions openly discussed are about a con sulate for life for the Empire—Henry V., and the compt de Paris. The change of Ministers is considered en event most certain to occur within a very short time. It Is said Mole is to be Presitleut of the Council, Thiess; Miribiterof the Interior; and Fallon, Min ister of Foreign Alleles. By a decree of the lettli inst., Gen.Larnorcierce has been appointed Envoy and Minister plenipoten tiary of France to Rome, and he is said to have left Paris fur the head quarters of the Emperor of Rus sia. Baron de Rothchilds is about' to leave Paris OW a trip to Italy. : It is said that his journey is in con nection With the indemnity to be paid by Piedmont, which Would.iiecessitate a loan and also the unpaid! half years interest 'in Roman bonds. The progress oftli- investigation into the affairs of the 13th of June, has become active, owing to some arrest recently made, and the discovery of im portant correspondence. There is a talk also of revelations which will increase the number of the accusers who are to figure before the high Court of Justice, Sergeant Rithier.

The ;Vow Orleans De 11,,, of the 25th, has Fettle' items of California news received by way of Mexi co that we have not heretofore seen. We extract the follow/frig letter, which is copied from the Trail ce Union of Mexico of the 41h of July ; MAz4mArt, 18th June, 1849.—1 t appears the pli,cers of- California are now the theatre of dread ful suffering, if we are to credit the reports of gold limners who left our city, and have been able to re turn. They have assured us that at the placer Stanislaw, where the Spanish adventurers were principally collected, there were about fifty thousand - diggere, the greater portion of whom had scarcely half enough to support life, and the balance received no fruit from their labors: The majority of there last mentioned perms - have returned to San Fran cisco,-and are awaiting a chance to return home in some vessel which will carry them away gratuitous ly, for they are totally unable to pay:their passage. Among the last•arritals was a Peruvian bark, on board - which a revolt had occurred; ten or twelve passengers had refused to set foot upon the soil of California as soon as they had ascertained the ex tent of suffering in the country. A friend, in 'whom I. have implicit confidence, writes me from Monterey, under date of May 22. 1 have nut writtea to you previously, because I was occupied in my rancho, in delivering cattle to thos who intend to speculate in. them et the placers. I am going to see what I can make out of them, as I perceitteilte gold is being rapidly dug out. It seems that all Sonora has emigrated to California. You cannot Imagine the multitude of Persons who are. arriving from nil parts of the world. There is not the least doubt that instead of placers, they will en counter much suffering, difficulty) and disappoint ment, fur it requires ranch trouble and money to reach the knterior. Add to this, that the gold is not now found on the'surface of the earth, as here tofore, and, nevertheless the prices of horses and the Itecessteries of life has not diminished. Goods are falling every day in price; there are more now at San kjrancisce than they know whin to do with, and many /bankruptcies are expected. I have yet to give ye)ti intelligence - still more de plorable.. The loss of several vessels on the coast of California is ammo wed. It is Said the passen gers of a steamer, which it touched at San Bias, af timed that they had met, at sea, a vessel, bottom up, and that in this vesal were twelve corpses compactly tied togher. The passenegrs of the barque Jenning which anchored in our harbor. upon her return from San Francisco, report having met, it sea, a brig swamped. The Mexican schooner, Maria del Rosa rio, which left Mazatlan for California. on the 29th of Febuary last, probable lost - as there nu account of her arrival at San Francisco. 'ENEMlES.—Alexander's Messenger. in speaking of mep who have enemies, very justly remarks: "A man who has no enemies is seldom' good for anything: he is made of that kind of material which is so eabily worked, that every one has a hand in it. A stearling character-rnne who thinks for himself, end speaks what he thinks—is always sure to have, enemies. They are as necessary to hin".as fresh air; they keep him alive and active.

OUTBREAK OF INDIANS IN FLORIDA... slip s from the Savannah Georgian of July 27th, says that there was a - further outbreak of the Indians at Charlotte's Harbor on the Gulf, nearly simultaneous 'with tkat on Indian River. These outbreaks were so 'early simultaneous, that the eapresa from each place met the other at Tampa. Fifteen Indians went into Mr. Kennedy's store it Charlotte's Harbor. Mr. K. being, absent, the In dians killed his clerk and another tnan,_ besides wounding several other: men and several women, plundering the store, and finally burning it. Two military companies w !eh were pent from Tampa to protect.the frontier, almost entirely de , serted. : It - is said that the Indiana are contemplating another desperate war. Great- l a la rm prevails among the frontier settlers, who are abandoning their crops and homes for safety. The Indians first feigned friendship, and having obtained the confidence of 1 heir deluded victims, traitorously turned upon them. It is supposed that there are six hundred warriors in the field. THE 1[22131C12111 BUSI2IESS 121 Pnit4trusunitA.—Two thirds the "patient meilicine,'.sold in America is manufactured in Philadelphia, end we have every reason to believe that it is n most lucrative business, yielding two hundred per cent, clear profit. The ingredients in a fifty cent box of pills du sect cost the matinfacterer more than three cents, perhaps; but the incidental e x pense., including adversi.sisig, double the cost. Nearly all of the patent medicine made here is consumed by persons 'residing out of the city;—slue Philadelphians themselves ere not over fond-of the luxury. •The Southern aid Wes tern people "go their death" on potent medicines.-- They supply n. with barrels of ns sissies a;'the whole sale price of four or five cents per (petit, which some dim? ingenioiss medical artists put tip, in half-pint hots lea, and si little antimony, snake-root, or sasafras, and send back to the'South to he mild at a dollar per bottle.

The greatest , n umbor of their patients are too fai off to snake compliments, if the physic d ies not succeed according to expectation, and in this respect our patent doctors hove on advantage over the regular faculty.

Senmour, bound from Cleveland to Chicag', arrived at Milwaukee on Thursday afternoon, having on board the de d body of ,lamps Bain, the Second Mare, who was killed in on affray, which uncured the night previous, when off Port Washington. The facts, as stated by the Milwaukee Sentinel, are briefly these. That the deceat-ed Bsin commenced an st ack on the Captain, and the first Mate, Hurvey Rum mage, interfenring, Bain grapuled him, and threw him over the rail. He was drawn an board again by some of the crew, when Bain again grappled him, and'in the scuffle Rummage struck Bain a blow - with his fist, which instantly killed him.

"A Firm Worms Pausurisi.."—Uuder this bead the "Erie Gazelle," of last week has . an article which, un pleasant as it alWays is to personally appear before the public, we aro bound to. notice. In that ankle the edi tor of the ] aurae says, "it has bleen the custom of the Observer ever since" his 'connection with!' that paper, ,to 'charge" hint "with au unwiiiingliess to make the is me ade honorable, even under Circumstances of pressing necessity," and then calls upon us to show that such charges are just. Without acknowledging that ,the as sertion of the Gazette is strictly true, let us review the put a little. and see how the account stands between us and our cotemporary; and if we refer to matters and things anlerior to the present Editor's connection, with the Gazette, we trust that he and those who may see fit to read this article, will pardon us, as it is somewhU ne cessary to a proper understanding of our position. When. ] therefore, seine six years since, we, in con nection with the gentleman whose ntilne until recently was associated with ours, purchased tho Observer estab lishment. wo expected to meet at the hands of thu Whig I papers in this place a politiciil opposition. That was natural, and we were' prepared for it. We were not pre pared, however, for a personal opposition; which, for vi olence and acrimony, wo venture to assert has ezarcely ever been equaled, if we take intoconsideration the small amount of brains employed in the onset. From tho very first number issued under our name, until the thou edi tors of the Gazette were very unceremoniously kicked out of that establishment by one of its present proprietor., scarcely a week wn!s allowed to pass without personal al lusions to us. The peeple were constantly reminded that wo were a couple of "beardless boys," whose opin ions, no matter how correct—and whose argUments, no matter how sound—and whose facts, no matter how con vincing, were unworthy of notice. A systematic attempt not ouly thr.iugh the paper, but by personal conversation mid by whig orators on the st i mup, was made to belittle us in the estimation of the public. Instead of extending to us the courtesies duo from one editor to another, and awarding to us that merle of praise which perseverance and industry when exerted in any calling, ere entitled to, the Gazette took a pifferent course, with what success the result shows. When, however, the paper passed in to other hands, and the Editorial management devolved upon Mr. BALL, our present State Treasurer, a different course was adopted. Although he widely differed from us. rind was teimeious in tho advocacy of the measurer! and policy of his party—and although we wore weekly called upon to refute his arguments, or differ from him as to results of certain line.; of policy, we do not recollect I . that be over complained as the Editor of the Gazette now complains, or that the Iciist unkind feeling existed be tween us. The ronson was that ho treated us fairly—he was too much of si gentleman. to place himself upon an imaginary eminence, and like the pharisee of old, thank God he was better than us. poor publican and To &rate himself, lie did 'not think it necessary to belit tle us: mind when ho thought he ought to notice anjl of our articles, it never entered his head that it was also no ccssary to blow his horn. and summon all whigdom to notice that he had conduscenifewt to do so. In short he treated us Editorially as l an equal—as a “fooman worthy of his steel," and the consequence was that while he Edited the Gazette there was tio criminntion and recrim ination between that paper and the Observer. We notice this fact to show that wo can live in harmody with a co temporary - when that cetemporary is disposed to treat us fairly. This pobcy, however, has net' been, we aro sorry to say, imitated by Mr. Ball's successor,-the present_Editor of the Gazette, lie chose a different *course—tine prob. ably more in accordance ,with hie taste—and the conse quence is that there has been a constant bickering bel -1 tweet, us. Professing to avoid personalities, he has been personal, and then to hide it, has chided us for our per sonalities. But a short time since, without the least shadow of proof:such as would bo taken in a court of justice, ho charged us with unworthy motives, in aban doning the whig party some seven years since. Profes sing candor and meekness in his Editorial intercourse, ha has lot no occasion pass to assume a superiority; and ve ry benevolently, at times, has gratuitously offered his ad vice as to the manner we should conduct our paper. If we have retorted sharply, and met him with his own weapons, he can blame himself and not us. And to prove , to him, and every candid reader, that what we say is sustained by the facts, we need only quote a paragraph or two from the last two papers.

This is the profession—now look at the following from the Gazette of the week previous. and tell us how the practice corres ponds: - _r-Tbe editor of the Observer says Its belongs to the *Shook and Dallas Democracy' and is satisfied with the nomination of Air.

" The article to which the above is a reply contained not a word to draw outsuch a personal allusion—not a word! And yet its author pretends to "render unto Cesar he things that are Qom's." and denie s over having dop r ted from it sufficient "to commit gross injustice" or so as to "lower the standard of individual merit." Now we acknowledge being a partizan—and 'what political Edi tor is not?—but does the *Editor of the Gazette seriously imagine that wo are more so than himself Moro so than the thousand of others in' tho profession?

Some contend that its proposed terminous is the bust—others, that it ought to terminate upon the public square—and still others, that it ought to be at the public docks. In this conflict of opinion and, possibly, interest, we have taken no part—we have been content to take the road wherever thoso who have the means to build it may see fit to place it, but it must be, confessed that the views and argunients set forth in the following, letter have never struck us so forcibly before. This letter was not intended for publication, but was written as one friend would write to anoth er upon a subject they were both deeply interested in, and hence the author's over-estimate of our instru mentality in awakening public 'attention to the Mter tance of the toad,stud thus, securing, its commencement, must be ascribed to personal partiality—a partiality, the reader will pardon us foil saying, which is the more highly prized because he has the misfortune to differ with us politically. For ourself we claim no ouch merit as ho as cribes to us—what we have done has been as a public journalist deeply anxious for the prosperity of our town. Thus much to disarm' any . charge of egotism which might be made in certain quarters for publishing the let ter as it is, and we will let our correspondent speak for himself, deeming it a much better way of calling public attention to the subject than to embody his views in an article of our own: Dear Sloan:—Day after day, for some weeks, I have purposed writing you about our !Rail road, but a press of employment has prevented me. You and 1 co-operated ' in giving the life-:acing impetus to the North East and Erie Railroad. Had you not stimulated the public mind, and persuaded thorn to meet in convention at Westfield, in the spring-of 1847; the charter would unquestionably have lapsed.. That is history, let it pass. You and I en tertained one opinion on the subject of this road going I,kestward. liltimatbly it must go west. Treating that as a "fixed fact,') I think the Company and Mr. Court right, thoir Engineer, have made a mistake in -making the "depot"-ut the south side of the town. The com merce of the town should bo studied, and its preserva tion and increase made certain. Now, my opinion is, that the road should make a detour east of the town at the most favorable point, so as to securo its reaching the public wharves by "locomotive potier." Titis "Horse-, power" business will be fatal to our transporters for tied reasons. First, it will be moro expensive—second, sofas speedy—and 1 may add a third, it will prevent our com peting with Cleveland. If the road terminateS permanently on the south side of the town, it t, ill be Outlier and cheaper to continue it right on to Cleveland. We !do not want that yet, for the Clevelanders are not fools, hence they will run'the road plum down to their wharves and load and unload along side of, or into the vessels, or rice rersts, from Vessel to car. In this view, the "horse transportat on of ona and one-fourth miles," from the south side of Erie to the dock will act as a premium in favor of the Cleveland trans porters. For in the" spring of tholyear, before the tee is out Of Buffalo, and our own harbor being open, the own er of a cargo bound to I New York, front Detroit or any other western port, would quickly see the probable difiar once of expense, and would be sure; to land his cargo along side. the depot in Cleveland. instead or landing it it ! Erie; It miles from the locomotive power. It is to be re= membered that-6,1 cents per toll ditTerence in freight will control this great trade, in every way so important to our town. This GI cents may be all the profits. being the price for hauling, charged by our Forwarding Merchants. Take tins aw by and their business languishes, becituse it will not pay them. On the other head, goods at Buffalo botind west in the spring. (Erie harbor being open and ItulLlo closed) and shippe'd on the care at Buffalo, will be driven on to Cleve land to avoid the few cents per ton charged to get them to the wharf at Erie. Thus. you see. this "horse Dower" business operates as a bounty in favo• of Clo - veiand traps shipinr ts, aid most, assuredly will seriously injure our trat} unless corrected. tie road, in going west, must give to our every in er just as much protection and accommodation as it of- Ha to the interest of Clovelan I. To give us less is to t ong ourselves, and blast the hopes and business pros pe • our town. in is coin inercial way. To protect all our interests, the railroad and our shipping ehoull ap proach each other. They should exchange freights side ky side. The stnolto and steam of the Locomotitm should mingle with tho smoke and steam of our steam boats.— This done, all our natural advantages remnant with us unnentralized. Then our ,forwarding men and transporters can work ati cheap as all t h e world beside. Then the inter rest of the Railroad CaMpany and our business men will be identical and harmonious. Finish the road as now pro posed, and before two years they will be in open quar rel, and necessarily so, from - the operation of the difficul ties 1 have mentioned above. Again, beforfic you are aware of it Eastern stock-job bers and c ipiteilists will, by hook or by crook (no matter at what cost) possess theMselves of the controling stock of our road, and when In their pciwer will they study the in terests and wants of Erie, or their own interestal— The persons *ho construct the road" will have stock; which they receive for work. Shrewd men at the East will be sharp and quick to see these advantages, arid etim mistaken in our Cleveland friends if they do not quietly pass the word along to buy up the stock, for it will be profitable. The road should reach the wharves as I have indicated, then it matters.not who owns the stock, ell will be right and our advantages cannot slip sway. The moment the Now York and Erie Road is comple ted to Fredonia or Dunkirk, its terminus will be at our wharves, that is, if. our road ends Where I indicate. But if, on the contrary, the depot is kept on the south side of our town, then the terminus of the New York and Erio Railroad will be at Cleveland, ,Those cannot be two opinions on this subject when correctly examined.— Make the depot at our wharves, iind when they went to make the road west 'to Clevotand, they must commence at that point, end extend west from there. When com pleted. the commerce of the west and of Cleveland must pass over and along side of our wharves.. Then every child can see the advantage of sending a cargo direct from Detroit to Erie, the transportation on the I,:,ke from that point to Erie being no more titan to Cleveland Dollars and cents must not enter into this calculation. It will cost a trifle more to build the road by this route, 'tie true; but to save the town it thould he done, no mat ter for the trifling expense. To construct the road one way is to secure our prosperity—to terminate it as now proposifd I fear will greatly injure us. These are my views, hastily tnrown together. I give them to you for what they are worth. There is not in Erie, another person who understands my views ou this subject. We have co-coperated together to secure the commencement of this rend, and shall be pained to see the interests of our town slip from between the fingers of our people, when a little care will not only preserve, but augment our advantages. Pardon my long totter. Ever truly soure. Tux CLOVHN FOOT.—The Louisville Democrat says that the Whig Review, the organ. par excellence, of the party, contains in the July number a review of WASH.

This is all very well fur the Masa facturer. but the farrier, settee° interests are greatly par• amount, will not and should not.subscribe to,it. The Journal calls upon 'all who feel the "hard times" to raise their voices against this ruinous system of buying - efteap. With equal propriety tho call might be made upon all who aro intorested in maintaining the natural law of trade; of buying clump and soiling dear, to resist all dis• criminetions that tax the farmer to add wealth to the manufacturer, and to record their voice against all those I arbitrary barriers that would shut out the f .rmer from the market of the world—and on this issue submit the ques tion to the people. Now for a few facts:—The value of tho Agricultural products of the country for the year 1848 is estimated, from the best data, at one billion, fire dred dad twenty-nine millions, fire hundred and sizty four thousand, seven hundred and fifty-six dollars!! The total product of the 31annfacturing and Mining intermits is estimated at S6:15.000.000. And yet to swell the prof. its of these smaller interests the Journal would have the agricultural interest not ouly taxed in the shape of high prices for manufactured goods, but by the imposition of prohibitory duties, would shut out the farmer's best cus tomers, leaving the surplus harvests of the country to rot in our granaries. For it is a well i settled fact thatnia peo• ple can buy without selling: and if we shut out the pro duce of European labor, we cannot tong find in Europe a market fur our groat staples, cotton, breadstuffe, pro visions &c. Nor is it desirable if we could. Healthful trade is an . sexcliange of commodities—the cultivation of those pursuits that are found best adapted to one locality, and the disposal of the product fur some otherseecessxry 'or luxury produced more cheaply in another. But, do 1 - the manufacturers require more.protection thatubey hare —or would any increase of duties go to the Treasury is the shape of revenues, or to the increased profits of the' manufacturers? Facts, we think, show that the manu facturing interest in this country is firmly based, and is at this moment moro productive than any one of the sev eral interests which it is proposed to farther lax. Scarcely a day passes that we do tot hear of some new manufac ttiritig enterprise. In every section of the Union compa nies aro forming. thus affording the best possible evidence that the pursuit is profitable. We have pow before us an announcement of the following semi-annual dividends: The Saco - Manufacturing Company three per cant.; the Nauntkerig Steam Cotton Manufacturing Company four per cent.; the' Contocook Manufacturing Company eight per eons; and the Augusta Manufacturing company, away down in Georgia. a quarterly dividend of three per cent., or twelve per rent. per annum! What farmer re alizes any such profits?

One other f4iit. in:port-my° the issue, will bear men tion hero. The Cincinnati Gazette, published in the heart of the grain crowing districts, sits; "the deficiency in the wheat crop of Ohio this season, it is now pretty satisfactorily ascertained, will be about oue-third, or from 7.01)0,000 to ,9,119).011 . 9 bushels." These, then, are our deductions: If the manufacturing interest is already more prosperous and more productive than any one of all others, as we think the facts prove; if in the old world certain monufa'ettning districts are in a state of decay, and if the single st ito of Obi, is about to buffer a loss of seven m Ilion to eight milli m bdshels, is it the time to talk of taxing the fanners (wither. to make tha already large profits of the to inufacttirers larger?

ANOTHER Liss —We are pleased to see that the no cessury steps have been taken by our Ohio neighbors to commence the survey and construction of the Railroad from Cleveland to the Pennsylvania line.
