Herrllbie Murder In.lereekryu Ooe of the moat cruel, fiendish and unnalital murders ever perpetrated was committed in Brook lyn on IVerinesday. The murder was -COmmitled about 10 o'clock, by J. N. T. Tucker, editor of The _Brooklyn Daily Freeman, (late Advertiser.) and the victim was rile yourip,ebt child--1 bright, love. ly boy of three years. The New Voik Times of Thursday hats the annexed particulars of ihe horrid affair ' - Tucker resides wi h his family at No 403 Allan lidltlraqi near Neviuii. • About 8 o'clock last even• rug, he invited his wife nut to take a walk, leaving three children at home—Dit arriving near the house from their walk, Tucker suddenly threatened to shoot his wile, And she, lrightened at the threat 'and his general appearance, polled away from him and rushed into - :the house and up . stairs to her apartments. He goes immediately to Mr De Camp's drug store, on Atlantic street, near Nevins, arid and. •ilenly drawing a revolver, presents it to the breast of the proprietor, and says, " Fill that " He is re Monstrated with, when he apologises and says-- ",I), I thought it was a bottle;" then hastily taking a bottle from his pocket. 141 r., "lave me some ol that cholera medicine. 1 have a very had case of cholera in my !muse" He is asked what he will have? and replies, ‘• Btattdy , qinck-1 am Dr Tnrker." He went to his home, proceeded to his wife's room, went in and locked the door. A young child three years of age, was lying in a small bed in the room asleep at ibis time; he drank the brandy just purchased, threw the vial our of the window, tvetst to a drawer and took out a razor. with which tie went to the bed where the child lay ; he took the child in his arms, and taking a seal on the floor, opened the razor and delibe rately cut the child's throat, nearly severing the head from the body Mrs. Tucker niphed to the rescue of her child, when this fiend ktanzked her or forced her down to the floor, anti made five distinct cuts on her lace and neck with a razor, one about five inches in length across the left side of the face and neck, ex tending horn the mouth to the verteboc; one cut parallel above on the neck, another below in the same position, one cut moss the throat, and anoth er perpendicularly down the chin. These cuts, with the exception of the first limed, are from two to flues inches in length:: She is not considered se riously injured. filer escape from instatit death seems atmost a miracle. The screams of the wife aroused other inmates. Mr. Dialyse with others, at once grappled with the infuriated man, and belore he could be master ed, Tucket was knocked down three different times—all the while endeavoring to use his wea win on those who came to the rescue of his wife. • A daughter of Tucker's about 10 years of age, was in the room tteting the whole of this affair.— Her father made a da,h at her with the razor and cut her hand. Tacker recently came horn Rochester, where now live three of his children, he having six in all. He is a man of intemperate habiie , and, when in toxicated is subject to flit of frenzy, and nu several occatiods, when in this state, has beat his wife,and it if stated that he has fiequently threatened to take her h kr. Veto of the River and Hai bor The following is die Message received from the Tresident To the House of Repreientotives I have received the bill emitted !, An act mak• ing appropriations fur the repair, preservation and completion of certain public works heretetore com• menced under the authority of law." It reaches me in the expiring hours of the Session, and time does not allow a full opportunity of examining and considering its provisions, or of stating at long b the reasons which forbid me to give it my sighature. It belongs to that class of measures which are com monly known as Internal Improvements by the General Government, and which, from a very ear. ly period, have been deemed of doubtful constitu tionality and expediency, and have thus failed to obtain the approbation of successive Chief Magis trates. On such an examination of this bill as it has been in my power to 'make, I recognize in it certain proviiions, national in their character, and which if they stood alone, it would be compatible with my convictions of public duty to assent to, at the same time it embraces others which are mere ly local, and not in my judgment warranted by any safe or true construction of the Constitution. To make a proper and sound discrimination between these diflerent provision(, would repine a deliber ate discussion of the general principles, as well as a careful scrutiny of details lot die purpose ofright fully applying those principles to each separate item of appropriation. Public opinion with regard to the value and importance of internal improve ments in the country is undivided. There is a dis position on all hands to have them prosecuted with energy, and to see the benefits sought to be attain ed by them fully realized. The prominent point of difference between those who have been regard• ed as the friends of a system of internal improve ments by the General Government, and those ad verse to such a system, has been one of Constitu tional power, though more or less connected with considerations of expediency. My own judgment it is well known, has on bath grounds beet( oppos ed tog," general system of internal improvements" by the Federal Government, as well as from past unsatisfactory experience by the General Govern ment, as to render its use advantageous either to the country at large, or effectual for the object con temfilated. I shall consider it Incumbent on me to present to the present Congress at its next session a matured View of the whole subject, and to endea vor to defiae, approximately at least, and accord ing to my own convictions - , what appropriations of this nature by the General Government the great interests of the United States require, the Constitu tion will admit and sanction, in case no substitute should be devised capable of reconciling th e differ ences both of constitutionality and expediency. Ir the absence of the requisite means anJ time for duly considering the whole subject at present, and discussing such possible substitute, it becomes ne• cessary to return the bill to the House of Represen tatieescin which it oliginated, and, for the reasons thus briefly submitted to the consideration of Con gress, withhold from it my approve!.

ABUNDANT CROPS IN EUROPE —The intelligence from all parts of Europe relative to the fine and abandon* crops is causing the prices of breadstufts so fall very fast hi the markets of that country. In Great Britain the corn crops were never better or the growth greater. France has wheat crops the present season superior in quality and larger in quantity than in tormer years. It is said that with her own and the abundant crops in Algeria, France will be able to sell to English purchasers instead of being purchasers in English marten'. On the con• linen* the crops are extensive, and the markets are not only dull, but last declining. A circular trout Rostock calculates on alarge yield, at least one. fourth above the usual average of the wheat crop, and more thin a full averagepf other corn. There are the same !prospects in the Baltic district and immionts are extremely favorable trout Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Ponca there are excel. lent prospects of a great' yield, and at Smyrna the grain is otrusually plentiful. In Egypt the prices have greatly fallen, and at Alexandria the arm is most abundant. In the Principalities the cdrn is being - cut by the Russians, banjo Bulgaria the ha,. vest is been most abundant on the whole. Pots. toes prove to be abundant. In spite of war there seems to be abundance of the elements which give impulse to industry, and make the manalactantis fi3unsh.—Ledgei.

"On arriving at the entrabce of the passage which leads to the Senate Chamber, the President Wai'ed for a moment for his carriage to come up. While standing there, a young man, without a coal but otherwise dressed like a gentleman, apprmtch ed the• President. and, temarktal respectfully that his name was Mien*, and that v he belonged to Charleston, South Carolina, extended his hand which the President took Them: was nothing in the language or bearing of the young man which indicated iOtetitional rudeness, although lie we. evidently di a state bordering upon _ insanity horn the effects of liquor. Tl.O young man, after having shaken hands with the President, retired in the di [warm of the dour. The carriage came up imme diately, and as the President was stepping in some thing struck his hat. Mr. Webster inquired " what was that!' The President replied that "he did not know ;" but at that moment observing the in toxicated young man making violent gestien. lations, he suggested to a policeman standing near that he had better take cam of him, though at that time it was his own impression, and that of Mr. Webster, that whatever shuck his hat was acciden tally thrown brim a upper window.

TRAGEDY IN Navy Yoax —We have account of tragical MLitt that occurred al the St. Nichols Hotel, New York, early on Wednesday morning. in which Col. Charles Loring, of California, lost his tile at the hands of Dr. R. M Graham, of New Orleans. the Express says: Graham was out the night previous, at porter hou-es and other resents, and was so disorderly that the tsii Ward police had to take him into custody. Some person from the hotel. echo happened to be with Graham. promised to take him home and keep him there. Upon this - promise the police let him go. However, he went out again during the night, and at about 5 o'clock came home in a rather cra zy condition. He was walking tip and down a hall in the bo:el, about half past live o'clock in the morning, making a disagreeable noise, when Cul. Loring came out of his apartment and requested the disorderly character to desist, as he disturbed and arnoyed his wile very much The Colonel then went in, but had soon to come out again and repeat his request. At this time Graham, it is al leged, suddenly drew a sword loom his cane, and run Loring through the body, killing him instantly. Mrs. Losing, the wife of the deceased, quite a young woman and in poor health, was the first wit ness examined at the coroner's inquest,which was held in the dining room of the, hotel. She was brought into the room by two ladies, and cried most piteonsly. Alter testilying that ber husband was the Reveiver of public moneys at Benicia, Califor nia; that she left there on the 6th of February, and he its March; and that he met her in Baltimore in May, and remained there until they went to New York, and that he was a stranger to Dr. Graham; she proceeded to give the facts in relationlo the origin of the aßray. Loring died - in a few moments alter receiving the wound. He was a tall, fine looking man. Gra. ham, the prisoner ; was, ;as yesterday, committed to await the action of the grand jury He is about 45 years of age, and of commas tin appearance, and at the coroner's inquest is said to have been deeply moved at the unfortunate position in which he was placed. They had, with their wives, both been boarding at the hotel, and occupied", roomy on the same floor, near each other. FvotriveSt.svc Law.—The Supreme Court of Wisconsin has sustained the decision recently pro nounced by one of the Justices of that Court against the constitutionality of the fugitive slave law. The case grew out of the following facts Some few months ago, S. M Booth was arrested at Milwaukee IVisconsiii, on the charge of aiding and abating in the escape of a fugitive slave Iron, St. Louis, named Clover, who was forcibly taken by a mob from the custody of a Deputy Um ed States Marshal. Sub sequently Booth was, on a writ of habeas corpus, brought before Judge Smith, and by him set at lib erty, on the ground that the fugitive slave law was unconstitutional 1 his decision having been car ried up to the Supreme Court at Wisconsin, that tribunal has just sustained and affirmed the opinion of Judge Smith. The dui• ion was concurred in by all the Court, except Mr Justice Crawford The Court in their decision says:— We are of opi n ion that so much of the act ol Con gress in question as refers to the Commissioners for tlezision the questions of tact which are to be es tablished by evidence before the alleged fugitive can be delivered up to the claimant, is repugnant to the Constitution of the United Stater, and therefore void for two reasons-Ist, because it attempts to confer upon those °Deere judicial powers; and 2d, because:it is a denial of the right of the alleged fug. hive to have these questions tried and,decided by a Jury, which, we think, is given him by the Consti tution Of the United Stater'. The reasoning of the Court is that the ease of a fugiive slave is not analogous to that of a fugitive from justice. The fn. hive from justice is deliver eirio an .agent appointed by the Governor of the Sate where the offence is alleged to have been coin. mined without any adjudication upon the question of his guilt or innocence ,• in other words, he is de livered to the officer of the law, and is in the cue. tody of the law for the purpose of being taken to the State where be can alone be tried far the alleg ed offence. But the case is very different with the alleged fugitive from labor. There is an adjudica tion before the Commissioner that he owes service, or labor, and that he has escaped. He is taken back to the State from which he is said to have escaped, not as &person merely chirged with being a slave, but as a person who has been proved and adjudged to be a slave, and, without doe process of law ; without having his rights passed upon and de. termined by a jury of his peers. r The above decision was rendered on the 19th in. slut, and on the nest day, Booth was arrested by ,the Federal authorities under an indictment found against him nine days previous by the Grand .fury Of the fruited States Court at Madison, Wisconsin, for aiding in the escape of the lapis', Booth 'was committed to jail, but a writ of habeas corpus was to be issued our on the 21st, tosecore his discharge a second time. The case will no doubt be taken up to the Supreme Court of the'llnited States for the final adjudication of the important question in volved.

The Lancaster Independent Whig announces that it is in favor of BENTON for President and Comps; for Vice President. We publish its remarks in mak• ing the announcement : " As sevetal Mends have expressed a desire to know our preference for President arid Vice Prei dent, their curiosity having been excited by some remarks in the last Whig, we shall not withhold from teem the fact that we are in favor of THOM AS H. BENTON, of Missouri, tot President, and ROBERT T. CONRAD, of Philadelphia, for Vice President. " We are in favor of these gentlemen being•run by the People, without regard to old party ties and attachments—as Free and Independent candidates —without Convention platforms, without pledgee, without national party organizations, and without the aid of political wire•workers, old hunkers, tra ders and schemers in politics, or office holders.— We desire that they be taken op and elected by the People, untrammeled by faction, for their acts, and only responsible to the People for their acts, and determined to restore the administration of the go vernment to its original object, purity and purpose." CALIFORNIA INFELLI °enc.—Vl e steamship Star of the west arrivea at New York early Monday morning, bringint California dates to the 15th of July. The news is not important A large fire broke out in San Francisco on the 11th ult., which destroyed from sixty to seventy buildings, eighteen of which were hotels and large boarding houses.— Sacramento had also been the victim of a destruc- tive fire, which occurred on the 12th of July barn lug near two hundred houses. The loss is estimat ed at $500,000. On the morning of the 10th of July, a fire broke out in Columbia, Calaveras coun ty, which resulted in Use almost entire desttuction of the town. The fire is supposed to have been the work of an incendiary, and the loss li-estimat ed at 8500,000. The mining town of Minnesota was burned to the ground, with the exception of three houses, on the evening of July Bth . Eetimu• ed lass /50,000. The accounts from the mining districts continue favorable. It being the dry season, there are not u many persons at work u usual, but the miners were doing exceedingly well.

From the kiktuisee election, we have no returns —from lola, one county, (Muscatine) which went Whig and Anti-Nebraska.. From Europe. The steamship. Arabia:strived at New-York, on Tuesi3ey a evening lst, brii ogng news to the 29th • • ultimo. Nearly all that we halts rels'ing tb the war is speculatioo. True, we hnie-repotts of portions of the arn3ies having changed position; and that the fleets are still afloat, but. they have care oily ab stained from doing each lithe; any good or evil for some time. The London llmcs is very properly engaged in efforts to divine from what has been done, and what the position of all parties concern. ed now is, what the people 01 England are to anti cipate. It attires at the uncomfortable conclusion that the demands_ of the Czar are the same to-day as they were before England entered the Old; that the war will be a protracted one ;, and that the aid of Austria is almost indispensable to success. The news from Spain is still favorable to the In surgents. They are triumphant. Their progress/ and the changes which have taken place, are of much interest. From China we have intelligence that the Re bels bold all that they have gained, and that they were victorious iu several late battles with the Im• perialists. ABBAS PASHA, late Viceroy of Egypt, is dead,and the Government of the country has been taken op by SAID PAELIA, the eldest son of old hlinsierr AU.

(*- The Nov York Herald, some day. since, made the discovery that the Kansas and Nebraska bill contained a provision granting hinds to actual settlers. The Washington Star of the 7th, explodes this discovery, as follows :--tt Ile point to which we now particularly refer is the Heralds story that Congress hare passed a homestead bill or provis ion app:ied to Kansas and Nebraska. This, in few words, is absolutely and unqualifiedly lalse, 25 all will find to their cost who go into eithet of those territories under the expectation of being allowed to take up United States lands within their boun daries without paying for them. The Herald has invented this story out of the action of the National Legielattire in passing the bill to extend the public lald system of the Government over the Territories of New Mexico, Kansas and Nebraska, which con tains a law granting homestead to actual settlers in New Mexico only. Settlement being the cheap est mode of protecting that territory from the' hostile savages now giving more trouble there than in all the rest of the frontier appurtenances of the United Sates. This clause in the bill has not the slightest reference to Kansas and Nebraska, whatever." Missoula &Eynon —The election in this State, took place on Monday last for members of Congress and of the Legislature, Sheriffs and Superintendent of Common &•hoot•, Upon the Legislature ito be chosen devolves the duty of electing a Senator In Congress, the term of ser ice of the Hon.

AMENDMEIIIT TO' THE CONOTITuTinn.—By refer ence to our adirertising columns, it will be seen that we publish the proposed Amendments to the Constitution of this State.

MCAIWRIC.— Congreu do not seem disposed to give the Presi dent ten million dollar", to meet any exigency which may arise rettpecting our relations with the GoVernment of Spam and the Island of Cuba. We never could sett any necessity for such a "pro, visional?? measure, and whatever faith we may have in the discretion of the President, we hope it will not he passed. The Government of Spain has enough to do now to take care of itself, if it is not in danger of being entirely revolutionized. If it is overthrown, a new adthinistration will have to be whichinstalled, hich will not be able to act on any of the demands made by the United States for tepara lion? till it has re.ronstrocted a government for Spain, and given it some kind of stability. A new government may also be disposed to listen with more favor to a proposition to purchase Cuba, tho' we apprehend that no Spanish tiovemmem will be willing to part with that possession, till events show that Spain can no longer bold it. This being the position of affairs in Spain, there is no immedrate necessity for departing_from the ordinary course of legislation, by putting millions of dollars in the President's hands, and beyond the control of Congress, for " provisional" use. The expenditure of money should not be lef, discretion ary with the President during a recess, without the most urgent necessity. The exigency does not re quire it, and , it is only the pressing necessity of the measure which could warrant such a precedent:— Ccmgress.will stand adjourned for a few months only, and it is not likely that there will be any of fers 'bade to sell the Island in that time. Neither can any necessity arise for our Government to pro. ceed, by violent measures, to " vindicate the hon or of our flag," which has, as yet, not been in the least compromised. If any attempt at find:water ing should be made, contrary to law, the President is possessed of ample meant to prevent it, in the command of both army and navy, with which he may break op effectually, any such design. Con gress will re assemble again in few months, when if there is any urgency in the case, they can im mediately act in the matter. With this view of the matter, we approve of Mr. Mason's report to the Senate, proposing to leave the matter as it now stands, without any further action, till the next meeting of Congress.—Ledgcr.
