Few men can acquire wealth without tho concur* rcr.cc, counsels and help at- their wives ; fow men can retain wealth without the thoughtful adaptation, on the part of their wives, of tho expenses of living to the rale of (heir income; and wealth is as often inherited by the wife as as by tho husband. Those reasons should in common justice entitle her to a voice in any transaction putting in jeopardy (ho means of support upon which her husband, her cbiN dren and herself are dependant. But such a check, or necessity for delay, will al ways prove salutary. It will preserve many a roan from the commission of ill considered actions,and invest the power of refusal in one who cannot be influenced by tho sudden convivial or other emotions of which the artful and dishonest are ever prepared to lake advantage. “I will consult my wife about county- I it, is an expression that excites the derision of a A Nxw Degree. —Our friend McClure, of the cer { a i n class of men ; but we never know a man to Chambersburg Wing, who was (ho Whig candidate acl uniformly upon this principle whoso affairs did for Auditor General, in noticing the fact that a 1 g n well.

The location of the tight is about one hundred miles from Now York. The fight was witnessed by nearly three thousand per sons. It was governed by the, usual rules of the Prize Ring. At throe minute* before two o’clock in the afternoon, Morrissey entered the ring, and the tight commenced. On the first round, the first blood I w&s in favor of Sullivan. Sullivan played carefully | and wont down very often to avoid hits. On the thirty-seventh round, a difficulty occurred between the seconds, daring which, time was called, which call, it ia alleged, Sullivan did not hoar, on account of tho confusion. Morrissey was ready, and his friends look him out of the ring, and claimed tho fight for him. The Judges decided ho was tho vie. lor. Moriasoy was voiy much out up, but proved himself to bo a game man, but not a good sparror.—- Tho fight was for $lOOO u side. Tho outaido beta! were $lOO to $BO in favor of Morrissey.

EUROPE—WAR OR PEACE 1 That tho peace of Europe is now banging, as it were, upon a hair, no one can doubt who has closely .watched tho Turkish question, and noticed the po sition It occupied at last advices. The Washington l Sentinel thinks everything smacks of Avar.' Russia breathes out Ihroatnldgs and slaughter. Her armltos are large, and panting for battle. Turkey on the Qlhor hand, seems not less bellicose, and not loss eager for the encounter. It scorns to be regarded as uncertain whether tho Sultan, if inclined to peace, and disposed to make suoh concessions as would satisfy his powerful enemy, now has the ability to pursue such a course. His troops have a groat hatred for Russia/ They arc said to desire war, and he scorns to bo led only to the alternative of a war with his dreaded enemy, or scarcely Ices fearful popular outbreaks Jo his own dominions. ;A Ppris correspondent writes.that there they have pretty, nearly lost all hope of maintaining peace bo tween Turkey and Russia ; that they most come to blows; and that when once tho combat begins no man.can say how long it will continue, or to what extant it will spread. Tho greatest importance is attached ito the Interview between tho Emperors of Russia aqd Austria at Olmulz. No sign can as yet bo perceived of a difference of policy between the French and English Governments, and the Turks themselves, who are principally interested, are of the opinion that they will continue to maintain, as they have hitherto done, cno common action. At (ho French Foreign office the opinion is, that a collision between tho Russian and Turks can not bo avoided. The London THmcs has a letter from a military gentleman which possesses interest, os it relates to the action of the Turks in preparing for the shock. Ho writes: 147,400 110,099 "37,310 ( 34,7^5 148, Bi 110,719 37,685 Tho next mbrning after my arrival at Schumls, I called upon his Excellency Omar Paoha who re coivcd mo with the greatest courtesy, and upon my expressing a desire lo sco tho troops and defences of tho place, ho ordered horses for us, and sent with us an orderly officer and an oscorl of cavalry. You | can form some idea of the extent of tho fortifications when I. tell you that we were from II o’clock, in the morning until fivo in tho afternoon riding from bat. tory to battery, and that wo even then did not visit more tffan half tho works erected and in progress tor the defence of the place. Seventeen forts are at the present moment in the course of construction- Schumla is naturally strong, occupying the bottom of a ravine with high hills on three sides of it, upon which oro strong batteries, and thn entrance of this cul de sac is guarded by a cordon of field-works and batteries, occupying tho circle from tho base of one till! to the base of the other. By this you sco (hat the place is susceptible of a very vigorous defense, and Omar Pacha seems lo rest the whole fate o) war (should there bo one) upon (ho strength of Schumla. Besides the soldi-rs ho keeps mure than 2.000 country people employed upon (ho works, who are constantly under his own superintendence. But why should ho roly so much upon (ho defenses of this place is str-ingc to mo, as from all I could see It would be impossible to supply tho army with what it wants for its dully Consumption for a very long limo.
