On Thursday there were 559 cases and 241 de ths: In Manchester and the neighborhood some Otlitional cases are re ported, but the manufacturingg districts up to this time have been happily spared from the scourge.— Bristol seems to be greatly improving in _health.— At Plymouth and along the southwest coast, the ep idemic seems still to prevail to a very alarming de gree. In Weeri, the mortality has been very con siderable, but the southeast coast has gen 'rally es-. caned the visitation, TUE QUEEN'S VISIT ,TO IRRLAND.—TI'b Royal party arrived in Cork on the 2.1 inst., at night, where the authorities were caught nap Ping, as they had not expected the visit so soon by 21 hours. The Royal squadron sailed from Cork on Saturday and arrived at Kingston on Sunday evening. The following day Her Majesty and suit disembarked, and proceeded to Dublin by railway, where she was the guest of the Lord Lieutenant until Friday, when the party returned to Kingston, and embark ed for Belfast. The recepiion of the Queen ut Cove, Kingston and Dublin. was flattering and en thusiastic in the highest degree. The wild, eh:m elons shouts of Her Majesty's Irish subjents, were, it is said, a sight never to be, forgotten—a sound to be recollected forever! AUSTRIA AND lILINOAIIT.HAS far as it is possible to truce the operations and positions of the conten ding armies from the conflicting, and confused pub lished accounts, it seems that the Hungarians were, at the latest accounts, occupying the lino of the Theiss; and that they still maintained their position at Szegedin Georgey is supposed to be somewhere about Tokey, but there is,nu authentic account of has precise position. The saute uncertainty prevail. respecting Bem in Transylvania, of whose opera tions there are a great variety of reports. The London Daily News gives currency to the follow ing., on the strength of a correspondent, who says that a courier from Galatz brought the news: The Austrian and Russian army, 60,000 strong, after occupying Hermanstadt and Cronstadt, and other small places, advanced to Sarteani. Bern col lected 40,000, and charged against them. The battle ended in a complete defeat of the Imperial, fists; they fled precipitately, leaving 10,000 dead and wounded, nearly all their artillery, and 8000 prison ers, among whom is Gen. Aulenberg. Bern the n took possession of Hermanstadt and r:ronstudt. Under the head of latest intelligence the Euro pean Times says: Toe Vienna Journals of the sth instant, supply us with news from Hungary of great importance, if true. It appears that on the 4th inst. the Hungarians stole a march, and surprised the garrison at Raab. A sharp conflict ensued, which ended in the fortress and city being occu pied by the Hungarians; where -they found 80,000 bushels of oats, 2400 head of cattle, and large stores of miscellatimMe provisions, which they carried to the citadel of Comorn; nor were these all the troph ies of their victory, for they captured six guns and took two Companies of Austrian infantry prisoners. Claplta commanded the Hungarian troops,• who af terwards quitted the city of Raab and took up their abode in the fortress, where they seized the Vienna mails. . SpirrsviaLsrtn.—Letters from Berne, of the 2i, announce the opening of the Session extraordinary of the Federal Assembly on the preceding, day. It approved unanimously of the levy of the troops %vitich had beensmade. The question of tile refit kees was referred to a committee of 7 members.— The quarrel respecting the violation of the Swiss territory by some Baden troops is said to have been arraigned. ' The French Ambassador has made the following communication on the part of his Government to the President of the Confederation: lie advised-the Council to terminate as promptly as possible, and at any price, the difficulties which have arisen with Germany. Switzerland cannot reckon on any assistance from France. France, he continues, sees with displeasure, the armament which has been ordered, as that measure gives a frail' aliment to the revolutionary spirit and produ ces a useless ogitation. A letter from:Berne of the 3J mentions that Gen eral Dufour liad published an ad tress to the troops under hii command. 'in which he tells them that there duty for the present is merely to guard the frontiers: but that should a foreign enemy violate their territory, he is confident that the • sons of old Ilelvetiai r would prove that they had nut degenerated from.tbeir ancestors. FaAncil.—Gen. Oudinot has been called from the command of the army in Rome, and Gen. Ondi not.'s recall is said to be hi.: ionbility to work in hat- 7 mony with the Pope, Who has always looked ,upon him with suspicion. A change in the ministry is confidently rumored. M. Mole, it is said, is to be Primo Minister. The" President has returned to Paris from his t is. it to the Loire. lie would the next week attend tht openin' of one ov.two lines of railway connec ted with Strataburgh and - Lyons, and his next visit would be to llavre and he norther provinces. — A statement of the Treasury, submitted to the Assembly, shows that there had been a constantly increasing deficit fur the lak ten years. The Rev olution of 1818 add - ud two hundred and sixty-five, millions franca to the expenditures; while on the other hand it reduced the proceeds - of the indirect taxes 150 millions. The real deficit of 1849 will be 184 millions. The total deficit on Ist Jan. next will be 550 millions—just about 21 million pounds sterling. The expenditure of 1850 will be - 1590 millions, and the receipts are estimated at 1270 millions, leaving a deficiency of 320 millions, in clotting the tax on portable liquors to meet all these difficulties. M. Pussy demands a loan 0(200 millions, about 8 millions sterling. Ho asks leave to annul the re serve of the sinkiN fund, to re-impose the tax on portable liquors in another shape, to create other taxes, and for carrying on the public works to have power to issue treasury bonds - w the extent he may require. i In the Assembly on the sth, tho l e was a lengthy and exciting debate upon Italian frairs, M. Fevre and M. de Tocquevitte being the riricipai speakers. Both these Gentlemen were very brilliant caul effec tive, and were warmly applauded lbf‘their respec tive parties. M. Favre seems to have assumed Ledru Rollin's position es leader of the opposition. At the conclusion of the debate a division wok place, when there appeared a majority for the min isters of 252. _ The - rumors relative to the meditated movement to change the face of the government have reached such a height that in his speech to the people of Tours the President referred to the subject, and said, p it is pretended in Paris that the goverhment medi ta'es some enterprize similar to the 18th Brumaire. I Are we then in the same circumstances! /lave foreign armies invaded our territory! Is France tore by wart Is the law without vigor, and the government without force! No. We are not in a condition to necessitate such heroin remedies. Some of the Preach journals insist that the visit of the President to - the Western Provinces was - a failure, and that his reception, though warm was not enthusiastic, and in fact that part of the coun try, at least, is not ripe for an Imperial revolution, whatever it may be for a change to a monarchy. As a slgn of the titnes, it is-announced that a new political journal will appear in Paria.on the 29th of September, and that it will represent the .opinions of the cittreme Legitimist party. It is to , be min t:acted 6cyM.

The Commissioners are thr e Car. dins, and are to form a ministry with the xcep tion of a Secretary of Foreign A ff airs, which is to remain in the hands of Cardinal Antonelle. _ . No terms as the nature and extent of the new Constitution have been come to with the Pope; HuNciany.—A late letter which was received from Presberg, states That when the capture of Raab by the Hungarians became known, there was the inost intense excitement. Fugitive officers who have reached that city have stated that the greatest consternation prevailed, and the troops fled in all directions, leaving it perfectly easy fur Raab to lie taken, and with it an enormous amount of stores. Accounts state that Haymen, the Austrian Gener al; finds great difficulty and his march almost im possible, endn i that his soldiers have suffered more than any other army ever did. should the Hunga rians attack him, the general opinion is that but few of the Imperialists can escape. Among the battalions sent by railroad to Presberg was ono rifle company composed of mere lads.— They moaned and wept along, crying that to march -against the Hungarians was certain death, and ad dressing a dense crAvd near the Station, said, "Fare well, we shall never,return." FROM TUB YELLOW STONE COUNTEr:—The steam"! er Tatnerlane arrived at St. Louis on the 9th inst., from the mouth of the Yellow Stone River, whence she had been with freight for the Black Feet trade. She' performed the voyage in forty-three days, being the shortest time in which :his long trip has ever been performed. The St. Lanier Republican learns from, the clerk of the Tatnei , lane—that .the Indians were all in a dissatisfied condition, and at continual war with each other. Two or three days before their arrival at the Gros Ventres village, an attack was made upon these Indians by 1200 of the Sioux, but they were repulsed. Mr. Garet, in charge of thO American Fur Com pany's fort, fired his cannon at the attacking party, and it was said they had sworn revenge. They were tn'return in twenty days, with n reinforcement of 1000 men, to exterminate the Gros Ventres Indians, and destroy the whites in the fort. it was understood that great numbers of Indians were dying of cholera, at the head of the Platte. Mr. A. Pasquier was a passenger on the Tamer lane from the mouth' of Medicine creek. Ile left Port Laramie on the 6th of July, and contradicts the report of the death of Miss Penny White, men tion of whose decease in the prairies has been made in the papers. SOCIETY UPSET IN CALIFORNIA.—There appears to be what the French call a bouleversement—a complete overturn—of the usual arrangements of society, at the gold region; for a specimen of which see the Ulan ing extract frt..n a San Francisco letter in the Boston Courier:— "Since my arrival I have seen a lieutenant of the navy and a New York merchant dragging a hand crat, at an Ounce per load; a few days since I met a professor in one, of your first colleges, driving his .ox team, hauling-emigrant 'traps' to the 'diggings,' at 8,10 for one hundred pounds. A Georgia planter 'Cooks my salt pork, and does the lisp-jacks brawn; a printer front the Picayune office keeps my hooks, and two young men from jobbing houses in Pearl street take care of the mules, haul lumber and act as porters in the store; each from $lO to l& per day, with board.

THE NeMIIHR Or DOGS 1 1 THE UZOTHD STATES , If it be within the power of those who are to give directions about the next census, we hope they will take measures to ascertain the number of dogs, male - and female, in every county in the Union, and if it could be dune, it would be useful, also to ave a re turn of the number of sheep killed by dogs. At two cents a day, it is probab'e that the cost of dogs is equal Wile value of our exports of grain and pro visions this year, and it is nut Impossible that our sheep husbandry would add 'as much more to the wealth of the country, if it weremut for the fear of having the Sheep destroyed by dogs. • We aro no enemy of dogtrot' genuine blood, kept and 'used fur their legitimate purposes—all such will ever find ns staunch frends and defenders. , But we have a great aversion toldle useless whelps, born only to consume the fruits of the land—whether they go on fake legs or two!-The Plough, the Loom and the Anvil. A Mee SOLD sr lIELL livsnAxn.—Not long since, a late merchant of Stewart county took a fancy to the wife of a citizen in his neighborhood, and desir e] that she would accompany him to a distant clime. But how to get lggal possession of the prize was a problem of no easysolution, yet solved it was, and by the virtues of the ••almighty dollar." A bargain was effected, whereby the merchant was to pay the bereaved htt.band $l5O ott the relinquishment by the latter of all right, title, and immunity which he held in the person of his spouse. No sooner said than done. The money was paid, and the wife re moved from the custody and control of her husband, and delivered into the, safe keeping of the purchaser, who has taken this newly-acquirdi piece of property with him to New Yo rk! l We did not learn whether the seller put a halter around the neck of his wife, and led her out thereby, as is practised in old England but we think it quite likely that he, by that sale, slipped his own neck out of a very disagreeable noose that had been thrown around it.—Muscogee (Ga.) Democrat, Jug. 10. A Music tr. GHOST tr MONTGOBIRRY The good people of Piney Grove have been thrown into a considerable state of excitement, owing to strange sounds resembling the finest music, similar to that of the accordeon, which follows a young la dy, about sixteen years of age, who resides in the family of Miss Teaky Green. The sound is dis tinct, and it is said, responds promptly to any ques tion. The young lady affects to be, if not really, very much alarmed at this strange visitation. We have 'gee!) several respectable persons who have vis ited the house, who vouch for the truth of this story. Tho young lady, to all appearances, say they, has no agency in producing the sounds, but we suspect that she is endowed with the singular power of ven triloquism, which she is exerting as a hoax or trick, to frighten the family in which she resides. The music. is said to be soft and lovely, beyond descrip tion.—/hckeille (Md.) Journal. Hems Hecuars.—The Belleville (Ill.)

Mr. Clark uni ted them hi the bands of matrimony, end, from that time until Saturday night last, they remained at the Mansion. On that evening, he under the pretence of having the I 'ek of his trunk repaired, sent it toa harness maker's and from thence to the Isaac New ton, on which boat the young officer proceeded to New York, and since then nothing has been beard about him. The Young Indy is of a respectable family, resi ding at DuaneAurgii, Schenectady co., and is ap parently a very . lady-like and excellent female. Her conduct has been of the most exemplary and honor able character, and now, deserted by this upstart of a Midshipinan,She is alinost distracted at the result of her indiscretion in leilving hei home. The fel low who has thus brought sorrow upon a happy family, has made quite a stir in our city for or few days past, and notwithstanding a profuse display of money on the day of his arrival, he borrowed from a friend previous to his departure. Such conduct is highly reprehensible, and merits the scorn and punishment which such astardly ac tions ever should.receive.' He that would disgrace the station he' is permitted to hold through the favor of government, in such a cowardly manner, is be neath the notice :of honest men, and deserves the most severe censure from the public.

And while every one will pity the young lady who has been made the dupe of his iillany, it is but another of those every-day warnings which are made public, to her sex to beware of trusting a stranger to far; and especially not to lend willing ear to the seductive pleadings of one who would entice a young and inexperienced girl froMthe hap py home of her - childhood, only that he may sooner or I titer turn her off either to be taken bock, a blighted and unhappy inmate, to that home, or to re alize a fate at which the heart sickens.

The Dale, which, accordidg to report, was to bring gold to the. value of $1,500,000, brought only $220,000.

TAYLOR'S RECEPTION As our threo cotomporaries have said almost every thing that could be said about the festivities and proceed ins of Saturday, and as almost everybody vvab in to see for themselves, we deem it quite unnece.sary on our p.rt to give a minute, or oven a de tailed account of the e l 'ants of.that day. Suffice it to say in brief, therefort, that the arrangements for the reception were every way w orthy of the occasion and our town—whether they were carried out as they ought to have been is another, thing. appropriate 'committee, consisting of members of nth political parties, met the Gelieral at Meadville, and londucted him to Waterford where, owing to the sudden eturn of the disease under which ho has been laboring or some time, ho was unable to see the largo number of citizens assembled to shako him by the hand, but im- Inediately retired •.o his room and remained until suffi ciently restored to proceed. Ho was then put into a close ;erring° and drove in ahead of the Governor end Cons luxes, in order to escape the crowd. The Govern - or recompanied by the Burgess and Council, and the Com mittees sent out to meet the President, proceeded more feisure ly, and at the head of State Street were received by the Military and Odd Fellows: The procession; con- I sisting of these two bodies, accompanied by five earfla ps all told, under the direction of the Marshals of the accompanied the Governor through the streets desig inated in the programme of the day, but not a solitary citizen, although there were hundreds upon every street, !offered, or could be induced to form in with the proces sion. Thus it will be seen that had not the Odd Fellows turned out, the President (had he been well enough) would have had no escort but the military. We refer to this because we understand that some of thoso whose peaceful slumberers ere yet disturbed by the ghost of Morgan, opposed extending an invitatiou to this respec table and intelligent body of our fellow citizens. At the Reed House, the Governor was received by a speech' on the part of the Citizens from C. W. Kelso, Esq.,.to which he repliedin behalf of the President'andhiniself. We hoard neither. In the evening the Firemen got up. a splendid torch light procession. and in front of the Reed House were briefly addressed by the Governor. After 1 the Governor had concluded, Vice President Fmroont, who had arrived from Buffalo that evening, wes called out, but very Properly declined to address the crowd.

DISTOASSINGI ACCIVILPT,O7OI3 SiltUrday, as the proces sion wtts coming into town at a rather fast rate, a little boy, son of Mr. Wm. Sall, was run over.by one of the carriages and very badly injured. For a time his life was despairlad of, but we are happy to say that Ito now bids fair to Moorer entirely, from the aim ts of his wounds. The parental of the boy era pour but very industrious. frugal, and of good character; and the boy himself is a smart. promising lad.

The whits as a party always full w, but never Iced. Thus, they have successively adat dotted all their old measures, and, if they have not boldly avowed them selves in favor of ours, have at leu f st ucquiesed in them. A Bank afilla United States was once their idol. but now, aloe: the whig tlmt would advocatej it in a public meet ing. would be hissed down and, as the "God-like" once said of that institution, be pronounced an "obsolutu idea," and that too by the very mon who were loudest and fiercest in their denunciations of Gen. i.teltseii for plac ing his official foot upon the neck Of the monster! The distribution of the procoods i of the iMblic hinds among the States wits once star in tlio wing galaxy; but now it l lias paled before the sunlight of Democratic truth until even wing eyes do not see, nor wing tongues pronounce eu. logies in itsJavor. Tho contest of '44 turned upon the annexation of Texas-'-whig mann!. and whig newspa; pars denounced it, and the whig candidates stood pledged against it. Notwithstanding this fierce opposition, how ever, the measure was consummated- 7 the principle of annexation became popular, and now we find a whig candidate for the Presidency, (Gen. Scott,) backed by ihnuinerablo whig papers, feeling;the public pulse in relation to the annexation of the Canadas, and preparing when the breeze becomes fierce enough to ride it into power. Thus, one after unother! throughput the cata logue of difference between our opponents and us, hu'''e the whigs vindicated the policy of the Dirlioeracy. and condemned their own.' Truth is mighty and will prevail ion old maxim, which ltas been most gloriously proved a true one by the past history of the two parties. There are now only two or three points upon which the wings join issue with the Deinticracy—the 'Para ; the Indepen dent Treasury, and Internal Improvements—and two of these, they are even now abandoning. A correspondent elfin: Daily Nerve, Philadelphia, Who has heed in Gen. Taylor's train through 'the State, in writing .from Pitts burgh says: e•Upeni the subjects of Tariff, Sub-Treasury. Internal Improvements, Foreign Policy of the Government, &c., the views of the Preside-mare will settled. concise and correct, according M l6c principles of the Icing ;wily. On Saturddy evening he spoke nearly three-quarters of an hour upon these questions, 'giving, his views with the same force, precision, and moiltsly that if. exhibited in his Moslem' despatches, or celebrated Alsop letter to Mr. Mercy." Now, whnt are the "views of correct, President" which are so "well settled, concise all,l correct, according to the prinriplcs of the Ong party." Due year ago to have "accorded with the principles of, the whig party," "the views of the President" would nut have been "concise and correct" Unless they had bean for the unqualified repeal of the tariff of 1846, and the substitution of that of 11442. Not so now, however—the tariff of 'V, is thrown overboard, without ceremony or qualification, and the opposition of the Democracy to that obnoxious measure, fully and completely vindicated. One year ago, the re establishment of that tariff was the first measure in the whig catalogue.—nuw it is expunged. This slum) corres pondent quoted :there, woos sys"the views of the Pre - sident on this question .ire courise and correct" and "ac cording to the principles of the te/tig party," puts forth the following dee:oration: ' "lie is in favor of a modification of the 'Para of 1846 —hut not in favor of the entire I re-establishment of the Tariff of '42.

Taylor is not in favor of the re-eilactiosii; o. the bill of 'tf.?, we take it for granted that that jou ti J n_t ••atrord real protection to all the laboring chs-es o ,he country," and consequently the whig, cant upon sub• ect J • heretofore was all buinbug+an electioueui expe dient, which, having proved "al, good enough Morgan" for the times, and served th; phrpoal of time le tiers, 14 now unceremoniously consigned to that obhvioa ,_whore rests the mortal remains of the dr.:Lod-and-one similar expedients resorted to by the wl g party to secure a tent porary triumph. Having :ibamlotied the favorite Inca sute and' acknowledge the justice of its repeal by the leaders, the tutus:tom of the whole party to the platter-in of the Democracy is but a slight, strp. We may there fore expect in the event of their being unsuccessfid in obtaining a modification of the l bill of '46, to see them eventually claiming that they never wished its repeal. So much for the position of tlaiX party upon the tat-a— new let us sco liaa , they stand upon time Indopeofent Treasure. Opposition to the Constitutional Treasury-system was, also, one short year ago, a cardinal doctrine of the whig faith. If Gen. Jackson drew own upon himself the fu ry of the whig party by his' veto of the Bank, Mr. Van Buren and llr. Polk dre vi down upon themselves as relentless and hitter an opposition by their advocacy of this - system of keeping the Public monies. 'All recol lect that Gen. Hudson and his cabiuet; of which the present Secretary of the Interior was one, called Con gress together as soon as possible after the Inauguration in 1841. for no other purpose tlian the repeal o( this rhea sure. They did so repeal it, and the monies of the peo ple were once more placed in the vaults of the Bank,. National legislation. therefore bus made Alm repeal of this law a cardinal doctrine of the !whig party—and yet they are now about to abandonlenW, this article of their erred. The same authority qu -ied above, in speaking of Gen. Taylor's views of this' - nii!iistire, says: • "He is not in favor of cnakibg an indiscriminate attock upon the whole Sub-Treasury system, until it shall kayo been thoroughly tried under the management of new and more capable offiCers:: though he believes Mut it al ready needs many modifications. In other words, in order to save the countryl from the commercial anther rassment which a whores to change in the financial policy of the Government must always produce. Gen. Taylor believes it to be the duty of the Government to give the existing Sub-Treasury system a fair trial under the man agement of more honest and capable mon," By this it Will be seen that tho whig party are not "in favor of making an indiscriminate attack upon the" thole Sub-Treasury system." although in 18.11 the same men deemed it necessary toad' an extra session of Congress to repeal it. Then the law was too odius to by suffered to remain upon the statute books until the regular session of Congress-in - December, but now, at boat, it only needs "modification" arid the "management of new and more capable officers." 'Then the fault was in the system Itself—now, it is the offieers! 'Then, we hoard not a word . about sparing the law because its repeal would prove detrimental to the business of the country—but now these sages have found out that "a wholesale change in the financial policy of the GbvernMent must always produce" "commercial embarrassment." What a triumphant v l indication is all this of the course and policy of the DemocralW party! A National Bank they have pronouncedin "obsolete idea," and yet they were ready to hang G n. Jackson for vetoing it. The distribution of the proceeds of the public lands is no lon ger & recognized principle in their creed, and yet how knight it since they ware appealing to Pennsylvanias in its favor, as tho only means of ridding thom of their State debt. "Protection for protection." as furnished by tho tariff of '42, and dtistroyed by that of '46, was but ono short year ago their rall)ling cry, but now they aro 'neither in favor of repealing the, one, or re-enacting the other! The Independent Treasury system was once the point of attack of all whig orators and Editors. but now t heir President is "not iu favor of in tking an ludiscri minate attack upon" ; that system: In fact, it is now considered by them a very ;pied system, winch with "ca pable ~Misers" to nirtnga it would ba unexceptionable . Thus ono after the other knife the whigsnbandote I their measures, and vindicated dui-truth and justice of Demo cratic policy. Thus one after an other, have they stulti fied themselves uponivery question of public policy; and thus, they are ready now to slide upon the petnucrutic financial and Ravenna platforms) GOLTI AT TUX Muer.—The Pennsylvanian says the amount of California gold waived at the mint, up to Monday last. exceeds one million seven hundred thou sand dollars. This from a - country Mr. Webster said "was not worth a dollar.'? is an emphatic contradiction of the assertion of the "Godlike" opponents of a jug . war. IEASURES It is to be regretted, says the Phltadelphia Ledger that the evidences are as strong tis they aro that the country is again to be agitated and business disturbed by another contest to remodel the tariff. The effort will be as vig orously as ever resisted by the &nth, and interested as the 'West now is unrestricted trade and the market of the world, it is hardly probable that any more restrictive poi icy than the present revenue law can be carried through Congress. How unwise, then, in the manufacturers themselves, to get. up en excitement upon 'a subject whicli, - Cf all others, requires quiet and stability? A spirit of freedom and exemption from commercial as well as iscolitic‘il restrictions prevades the land, and it cannot reasonably be expected that the United States will. at this tiine, go hack to those odious and arbitrary exactions which tax s ono class of the community to favor 'moth cr. The power of- partial taxation, which compels one portion of the Union to pay more into the public treasu L ry than another, is at the bottom of the revolutions which are now regenerating monarchical Europe, and it crait hardly be expected that the United States will go bacit. wards, being herself the example for progress and liber ality elsewhere. It is oils of the very few topics in our tiationalTolitics that cannot be discussed without .violerit dissensions. It is in vain to tell the South and West that the consumer does not pay the amount of the duty upon all article, of home production, which come in competition with the foreign articles. It is iu vain to tell those who have produce to export that their market is not injured when a restriction is placed upon imports—that we can sell when we refuse to buy. Too much light has been thrown upon the subject. The country cannot be longer cajoled and deceived by sophistry so shallow, as has heretofore been used in the discussion of this ques tion. 'chat the system of high proteCiion is "vicious and unsound," is Is confession extorted from all parties in Englund by the hard lessons of experience. It is the confession of a truth that political economists taught long ago, and which experience teachei everywhere.— , The doctrine of discriminatioU. for protection ought not now to be resurnad, an.l, as we balieve, cannot be, and ought not, for the best interest of the country, be agita ted. We have heard an immense deal about vested rights, but the farmer ef . tile %Vest, and consumer every where, have lung since learned that they have as good a vested right to cheap clothing and cheap articles of man ufacture, as the inanufacturer has to large profits. The farmer's right_was vested first, and is just as much en titled to consideration as the manufacturer's. The mass of the people have a natural right to ha exempt from contribution to" a few manuracturers, which hiss prece deuce of any right vested by act of Congress The policy of the present law in the main is sound. hairnet to so levy tax on imports that a sufficient amount of rev enue may be raised wit's the feast possible restriction up on trade; that as much of the increased price of an article as possible may go into the public treasury and not into the pockets of the manufacturers. There may bar, here and there, a point in the law that requires modification, but its spirit, it is'to be hoped, may not be touched.

During the firing of a salute in honor of Vice President Fillmore, on the occasion of his departure for Buffalo, a premature discharge took. place as a cartridge was being rammed in, which blew one of the gunners, named PETER GILDERT.• to atoms, scattering 'his remains overboard, and so shockingly mutilating the other, named Jous Rotitssee, that he ex • Aired a few hours afterwards.

A general disposition is manifested to attach censure to some oho in connection with this sad affair. This is unjust. We learn that extraordinary precautions were taken to prevent accident. Old men of war's men were selected for the dury, and after having been exercised, and the time necessary for them to load and tire's single gun ascertained, greater time was enjoined upon them. Tifey were such good and trusty men that the only ap prehension of accident was from their zeal, and this hav ing been spoken of, the Ist Lieutenant gave thorn spe cial caution upon the subject, and an officer was station ed at the gun to sea that there was no neglect in wetting the sponge. The only way to account for, the accident is, upon the supposition that, iu the desfiTte be prompt, the gun was not thoroughly sponged—a piece of the bag of the old cartridge having remained ignited in it. The Captain of the gun, who attended tho vent, did his duty thoroughly, with some slight Injury to himself. —Gazette.
