I,a f emmo "Without doubt it is a times Sf Mai to -ail women, mow- or leas: palnfiu l 'ac&ftdiagivt;6 T individual disposition, when they first begin to crow old and loße thcLpgoOd looks. Youth, ana beauty make up 60 ; iuuc(L ot their‘\pefa. sonal value, so much of their natural raison (Pitre, that when theße are gone many feel as if their whole career was at an end, and as if nothinß'%a6 i left to them uow that they are no longer y oung enough to beloved as girls are loved* Of pfotty enough,to be admired as.'once they were admired. -For. wo men of a certain position have so little wholesome occupation, and so little e.ihliition'for, anything, save in deed that miserable thing called “getting on in society," that they cannot change their way of life with advancing years; they do not at tempt to find interest in things outside them selves, and independent of the more personal attractiveness which in ybuthTconstituted their whole pleasure ofexistence. Tufa is essoa-' .tially-the case with fasbionable women, who have staked their all on appearance,; and to ; whom good looks are of more account than noble deeds; and, accordingly, the struggle to remain yonug is a frantic,one with them, and i as degrading as it is frantic.. With 1 the- ideal; .woman.of middle age—that pleasant : woman, With her.happy face, and-epftened manner, who unites the charms of both epochs,retain-; ing the refidy fesponsivfeuessrof syouth While; adding the wider sympathies,of. experiences i with her there has never been any such stru- j gle to make herself;an ; anachronism. - Cqp.sb: i quently she remains beaulifal to fhe.la.3t, far j more beautiful than all the pastes and washes; in Madariie'.; Rachel's- shop could - make; her. v Sometimes, if Tarklyf in' these latter -dky s,we meet her insociete where she carries j with her anatmosphere of her own—an .at- 1 mosphere.,of, honest, wholesome truth, and' love, which makes every one who enters it! better and purer for trie time; ! fiR-she comes! intothe room with her daugoterS, her kindly i face unpolluted by palnt,ber dress picturesque i or .fashionable, according to. her taste, but: decent in form and-consistentr In tone i ' her a’gei 'it’.is iofteii'retnarked 'tfiatshe look's ’ more iike'their sister than' theirmother. This, is because she- is in harmony with her age,, and has hot therefore put" herself, in rivalry i With .them;,and harmony is the very key-, stone of beauty. Her hair’may be htrpaked s with white, the girlish firmness and transpa- 1 . ■ rehey of her skiu has gone, the pearly clear-: ness of her eye is clouded, and the slender; «>'grace of line is lost, but for all that she is, A I beautiful, and she is .intrinsically young. she has lost in outside materiabcham— J ; in:that mere beaute du diablc of youth— sho has gained in character and expression; and, not attempting to simulate the attrad tiveness of a' girl, she keeps what nature gave ' i Iter—the attractiveness ol"; middle age. And T as every .epoch lias its own beauty, if women * would but learn that truth, she is as beautiful , 'st now as‘a matron of fifty, because in hartpppy •' .with her years, and .because her "beauty has w,-, ;been carried on fr«tm matter to spirit, as she ’ Was when a maiden of sixteen. This is the > cideal woman of middle age, met with even at * j'tiirreßiß woman whom all men respect, whom all women envy, and wonder f bow she', does it, and Whom, all the young . . adore, and wish they had for an elder sister hf an auht’ And the secret of it all lies; in truth,,,in love, in Durity, and jn unselfishness. ■ Stapding far. in i front of this sweet andi wholesome Idealizationisfo femme passee of to-day—the reality as we .meet with it at » balls and fetes and afternoon at. homes, ever foremoßt in the mad chase" after pleasure, for; which alone she seems to think she has been sent into the world.- Dresßed in the extreme c of youthful fashion, her thirining hair; dyed and. crimped and fired till it is more like red broWn tow tfiaa hair, her flaccid cheeks "ruddled, her throat, Whitened, her bust dis played with unflinching generosity, as if beauty was to be measured by cubic inches, her lustrelesß eyes blackened round the lids, to give the semblance of limpidity to the tamished whites—perhaps the pupil dilated by belladonna, or perhaps a false and fatal brilliancy for the moment given by opium, or by eau de cologne, of which she has a store in her carriage, and drinks as she passes from ball to ball; no kindly drapery of lace or gauze to. conceal the breadth of her robust maturity, or to soften i the dreadful, shadows of' her leanness there she stands, the wretched creature who will not consent to grow old, and who will still affect to be like a fresh coquettish girl when she is nothing but la femme passee—la femme passee et rid icule into ihe bargain. There is not a folly for which even the thoughtlessness of youth \ is but a poor excuse into which she, in all the plenitude of her abundant experience, does not plunge. Wife and mother as she may be. she flirts and makes love as if an honorable issue was as open to her as to her daughter, or as if she did not know to what end flirtmg and making love lead in all ages.. If we ■ ■■.-■ watch"the career of such a woman, we see how, by slow but very sure degrees, she is ' obliged to lower the standard of her -- adorers, and to • take up at last with men of inferior social position, who are- content to buy her patron age by their devotion. To the best men of her own class she can give .nothing that they value; so she barters with snobs, who go into the transaction withtheir eyes take the whole affair as a matter of exchange and quid, pro quo rigidly exacted. Or she . does really dazzle some very young and low ; bom man,who is weak as well as ambitious and ■jyho thinks the fugitive regard of a middle aged woman of high rank something to be , proud of and boasted about.. That she is as old as his own mother—at thiß moment sell ing tapes behind a village counter', or gather ing upthe _ eggs in a country farm—tells nothing against the association with him; and the woman who ' began her career of • flirtation with'the son of a duke ends it with j son of a having between these two terms spanned all the several de grees of degradation which lie ‘ between giving and buying. She cannot help her self; for it is part of the insignia of her % artificial ! youth to have the reputation 1' of a love.affair, or the pretence of one, If even & the reality is a mere delusion. When such a wontrm as this is one of the matrons, and; **" consequently one of the leaders of society, What can we expect from the girls? Whit worse example could be given to the young?' When we see her with her own daughters , we feel instinctively that she is the most dis astrous adviser they could have;: and when in the company of girls or young married wo , men not belonging to her, we tioubt whether - we Ought not to w arn their natural guardians against allowing BUch associatibhifor all that her standing in society is and not 8 door is shut against her. We may have no ' absolutely tangible reason to give fpr onr dis taste beyond the self-evident fact that she - • paints her face and dyes, her hair, dreßses in a decollc.t£ style, and affects a girlish manner* that is out of harmony with her age and C )h -'ditioa. But though we cannot formularize ..... reasons, w.e have instincts; and sometimes iu . stinct sees morie cleariy than reason. What good in life does thiß kind of woman -. doJ-AlUier-time is taken up, first in- tryihg ■to make herself look twenty or thirty years younger than she is, and then in trying to , jmak'p others believe the same; and she has 'neither thought nor energy to spare from this, toher, far more important work than is - feeding tbeflungry or nursing the sick, res . cuing the fallen or soothing the Sorrow i'll.

Indeed, were it not for her, the girls -would never have gone to suohrilengths as those-to which they .have gone; for elder women ' have' ’ naturally immense 'influ ence over yoUDger ones, and if mothers were to set their faces resolutely against the follies of the day, daughters would and must give" in.

The fate Unfortunate Cardinal Andrea -is sketched by Mr. in the last num ber of M'aemillan, as a kind of Whig among Cardinals, anxious for reform, but persistently declining all proposals to head a FreeChurcb of Italy. He was, however, a friend to the unity of the Peninsula, and this, coupled with the.presuiped Liberalism of his opinions, created such hostility among the Ultramon tanes, that many of them believed him mad. He was, in truth, a highly nervous, suscep tible man, and-bia death was ultimately due 10 tbe persecutions he underwent in Rome, persecutions which took the form of elaborate and studied insult: ’ 1 “A post mortem examination of the body of the victim has certified that the Cardinal died of tubercular phthisis and angina peeto ris, thus in few words summing up and certi fying a long series of cruelties. Refused per mission to breathe the air which was necessary to his life, he was morally compelled to return and breathe an atmosphere which was poison to him, Peprivedo.fhis bishopric, of his ecclesiastical authority,and menaced with the loss of his cardinaiate, he was made t<> dance attendance in ante-chambers, and assume the costume of a penitent, or one not accordant with his rank. Persuaded, con trary to , his intentions, to sign a recantatiou against, which, his conscience revolted, ou condition of being restored to his authority a> bishop and abbot, these promises were never kept. Is it necessary to have recourse to "the hypothesis of poison, 'when the means <e procuring a slow and certain death were b< ready at hand, and so' ably used? Tuber cular phthisis—aDgina pectoris!

'The late Railroad Accident-Fuller and more jUcUillctl Funicular*. Tho following correspondence was detained until it was too Into for publication yesterday. It contains the fullest aecount that has yetbeen pub lished Of the accident npon the Camden and At lantic road: AmAswc Cmr, July 22.—Ton can congratu late me npon a miraculous escape. Indeed, Ido mot see how any of ns got off with our lives. It happened in this way: We left Camden.for this place yesterday on the 2 P. M. fast express line, and when half way between Haddonfield .and "White Horse, the train was brought to a sudden bait The locomotive was thrown on the right side of the track, turned over on her side, and literally smashed to pieces, there not being a complete piece of her left. The baggage-car, about hair foil of baggage, and with some twenty section men In it, was thrown off the track on tho left side, and completely turned over. Next came the emoklng car; in which I was seated; the front end was stove into the baggage-car, and aboat half of the floor ripped np and the tracks torn jfrom Under it; the next cor come staving into tile lear end of tho smoking-car, : smashing the plat dorm, and carrying away the water-chest and mear seats; the other cars stove into one another 5n the same manner, breaking things very badly. Strange to say, tho last car of all kept the track, and the passengers in it felt but a slight jar, •whilst our feelings cannot bo imagined nor yet described. As soon os the accident occurred, I jumped out the window, and in company with Mr. James Meehan, tho Local. Express ; Agent, got to the ■other side of the wreck, to see if ,any were hurt, and if so, to relieve them. By'the side of the englno wc came to John Hutchinson, the engineer—picked him up, got him across to the •woods, alleviated bis sufferings as much as wc could (for he was. terribly scalded from the neck to bis ■ feet, and alto inhaled some live'steam). I then went to an adjoining farm house, got him ■quarters, and then had a conversation with him. It appears that on yesterday, About 12 o’clock, a small cloudjiegan to hover over thatEectlon of country, embracing a circuit of about ten miles, and the inhabitants say it was a water spout; but suffice it to ea** that it rained tremendously for two Lours, washi. away the bridge across Cooper’s Creek (where the accident occurred), overflowing com fields, till nothing bnt the tops could be eeen, In that short space of time. The accident occurred at: precisely 2.33. -• Coming to this Abridge we partly rounded a curve, and Hutchin son eays when he struck the curve (running about Shirty-five miles an hour), and when within. I suppose, a hundred feet of the bridge, Le took notice that- the bridge , was , gone. Of course he “could not check his engine, but, ■with singular presence of mind, opened his safety waive, and let her jnmp the creek (about 12 or 14, Jeet wide), which she did, carrying the wheels fremunder her, and wrecking her as' above etated. The baggage car trucks were tom away and fell in the creek, as did the tracks of the emoklng cor and the two cars in the rear. I staid with Hutchinson, poor fellow, until death relieved him of his sufferings, which took place about 12.35 last night. A Bection Master, named Abner Connolly, who •was on the engino with the engineer, was badly scalded, so much, that he died daring the night. The fireman was slightly scalded, and walked to Lis home on the arrival of the train at this place, at 12.30 last night A Mr. Lansingburg, a passenger, wsb considerably bruised about the Jbody; also a Mr. Radner ana another gentleman ,"whose name I could not loam. The passengers did everything in their powes to alleviate tho (sufferings of these men. Conspicuously I noticed Alexander McClary of the Post. John McGrath, Mercury, Col: Hinkle, Henry Diddleboch, Robert Skinner and others. Mr. Beecher, the conductor, was in the last car st the time of the accident and exhibited that calmness and courage.thatshouldeharocteriza a 3nan holding his position, in trying to do all he conld, and haring kind and soothing words for She poor half-frightened'passengers. It vdA some three hours before the Railroad Company sent us help, ojring, I suppose, to their having to Bend to fnilaaelpbia for things they wanted. Aboutaix o’clock they arrived on the ground with .physicians, laboring:men, medicines, etc., and commenced clearing the wreck. I understand ;2be road to be clear at this—7, AM. As to the cahee of the accident, it was one of those unforeseen things that cotda not be obviated. The company I don’t think conld be blamed, for ilhe bridge was a. substantial structure,.-and the train was of such short duration and extended ever such a small space of country that nobody •would suppose that any damage of the 1 kind could occur, being situated in the: manner It was, it was impossible to see it until we' were am top of It. ' J ■ >•-. All hands expressed the above opinion. : lam isorry to say that; as nsnal in such! cases, there 'Were some unprincipled'persons oh the train, •who Immediately topk advantage of the affair to plunder the passengers. Two of the passengers lost watches, and two; of them wallets. One of The wallets I understand contained a large amount of money. McC. 1; " WEST ' INDIES. St. Domingo.

The District Attorneyship.— After the close ~f our report yesterday afternoon a sixth ballot was taken by the Republican Convention to nom inate a candidate for District Attorney, and re tailed as follows: - Dropsie. 73: Fletcher, 40; Gibbons, 100“ The seventh ballot stood: Dropsie, 84: Giqbone, 124. Mr. Gibbons having received the largest num ber of votes, was declared to be the choice of the Convention forthe office of District Attorney. On motion, the nomination was made unan imous, and a committee was appointed to wait on Mr. Gibbons and aeqnaint him of his nomina tion. The Convention then adjonmed. Buncombe. What are the conditions favorable to this diseased growth? It is obviously the product of minds at a certain age of cultivation, for we may either fall below or rise above it. The rudest classes are incapable of enjoying it. The only stimulant in the shape of language to which they are accessible is the use of highly flavored oaths. More educated persons of course despise it. The formal and pedantic style which sbmetimes ; arises amongst dons and professors is essentially distinct from the popular buncombe. Johnsonese is. a very finpleasant dialect; it is stiff, pompous and artificial; but it.has evenjm a high degree, the merits of precision and definite purpose; ibis not a mere vogue splutter of words,chosen for. their sound, buf corresponding to no particular meaning in 1 the mind either of writer or reader. The social stratum most susceptible of buncombe is that which forms the main substance of American society. ' Ameri cans are almost universally educated to the point of admiring ornament, but not up to the point of distinguishing goldfrom tinsel, Tocqueyilleinvents amingenious hypothesis to explain what he calls the democratic love of “le boursouflle.” Each individual, he says, in a democratic country is habitually engaged in contemplating a very small object—that is to say, himself. If he" raises his eyes, he only sees the “immense image of society," or the still vaster form of the human race. There is nothing,/as it were, to break the’' perspec tive. ’ Society is not diversified by all kinds of minor associations, but it isone vast ho mogeneous whole;. ■ and ,there r is thus-a'con stant alternation between petty and distinct ideas and very vagfie and general notions. In this, as in many other instances, Tocque villo’s method of, regarding everything 'exclu sively in relation to democraey has perhaps led him to a rather forced hypothesis. Un doubtedly the,topicsupon" which American eloquences generally some countenance to the theory. The marvellous destinies of—the ; Great American nent; .the countless -multitudes \yho : , are to enjoy the unspeakable, blessings of the Con slitution oi the United States, and the. strange inferiority ofthe slavish multitudes of Europe, are so'many excellent tekts ~for the popular orator.’ _The individual Yankee - may be glad to. ipse sight of liia o..wn insignificance in the FRIDAY; 'boldest assertions abcratlnarace. A similar effect is produced on our own side of the ! water by the popular worship of the nine teenth century. The growth of science, and • the progress of democracy, and other won ders of the present day, are good mouth i filling words to eke out windy sentences. ; The stilted rant which they so frequently produce seem 9 to be the natural effect of a powerful excitement on a small mind. The facts to be considered are so indisputably i great that they fairly throw an intellect of average dimensions off its balance. Tho man who knows enough to see that some very big things have been done,, and who-yet only half understands what has;been' don 6, and how big it is, naturally pours out much inflated nonsense in trying to give vent to his feelings. ■ ■ When, however, we try to connect this ; phenomenon with democracy, the logic docs not seem to be clear. Tire . amazing material progress of America, without a ctirresponding increase of culture, seems to’ account for it more-naturally. , In fact all buncombe is a form : of vulgarity- which-'resembles most closely the ostentation of a man who has sprung suddenly into wealth. Tho gentle man who “strikes oil” in America covers his 'house and his dress with barbaric orna ments; and as the whole nation may be said to have struck oil metaphorically, it is not strange that they adorn their language with a similar mass of tinsel. But we should be Borry to hold that the fault is one from which a democracy may not in time shake itself free. The most extreme and offensive forms of bun combe: survive chieflyiin the half-settled (Us, tricts; and the redly cultivated?. Americans— such men as Washington Irving or Hawthorne ... “or write a style fully as pure as Englishmen of the same literary standing. We should prefer- to say that bubcbmbels most freely evolved dicer tain stages of progress. Itiathe result of the sudden elevation of a class into a position for. which they have not received .the , appropri ate'culture.. We may observe a very ainiilar process? amongstlowerAocial; states,. .The native unadulterated savageTs ia often said, for his , natural grace. His, art may be very simple, nothing more perhaps than a capacity for scratching Wood with a bit of sharp stone. - But he does the moat, that he can with Mb tools; because he worjra with perfect simplicity of purpose. He is not try ing to imitate something alien to his habits or. thought, but Ignats entirely, to his eye,'and has always ,'the merit of ..proportioning his means to his result. But, his instinct disap- - liefirs as soon • as“ i Tie '"fir* 'ifitroduced to- Europeans. He putsona cocked hat, buttons a dress-coat across his breast, or passes his legs through the sleevea,and fancies that he is.elegantly dressed. Bis natural-art is displaced in favor’ of a feeble imitation ’ of European mddels; and r he loses 'as much in real grace as a monkey playing tricks'on an organ instead pf amusing himself in his native wilda; In order to preserve his.artistip ppwr ere, it is.as necessary that .he should be igno rant of the methods appropriate to. different stages of civilization as' that be -should ! bo skilful in his own. In short, this, like' all other kinds of vulgarity, lathe necessary' re sult of an unintelligent imitation of language or manners or art, toy persons, who have not assimilated the ideas Of which they are the natural expression. This, fdr example, is the simple reason .why 7 a poet like-Burns should be so . rare ar ;phenomenon. The class, from which" he, sprang may perhaps 'be at an' /intellectual' level/ as high as ' that of the 'ancient composers ol popular poetry; so; far there is no reason why they should not'produce ballads equal to Chevy Chase, or English prose equal to that ofJPUffrim’s f Progress . There must be, in all • probability,many mute inglorious Miltons who have, in all reapects,the natural capa city, and the necessary insight and sensibility. Only, as soon as a man feels himself; to-be above his class/he, seta,, about , imitating the most distinguiahedwriters of his time, and produces, perhaps, a feeble echo of Tenny son, instead of, forcibly expressing his own thoughts in hisown language." The peasant poet is now almost inevitably spoilt, just as the ordinary peasant has,ceased to be pictu resque because he we art a seedy, reproduction of London clothes instead of clinging to the characteristic costume bf his province. Buncombe, then, may be described not as a necessary product of democracy, but rather of a rapidly changing state of society.’ When things have come tea - ' state of equilibrium, each class will have its; appropriate costume, both mental and physicaL But when a large number of persona suddenly discover that they ought to be much wiser and more elo quent than is actually the case/ they show all the awkwardness of a clown introduced into .good society, by indulging in very grotesque and gorgeous ornaments. And the only way in which they can be thoroughly reformed is by receiving that amount of general education which will enable them to pay due respect to the best models. Perhaps it is a too Sanguine expectation that within any moderate time the English shopkeeper will be able to distin guish between buncombe and real eloquence, and to prefer simplicity to tinsel. It maybe still longer before/the gentlemen whose profession it is- to flatter a mob wi|l not seek to -impose . udou them by using the most many-syllabled words and the sentences most heavily weighted with epithets that'they can discover. ‘Only we may take some Comfort from the fact that, side by side with inflated nonsense, good vigorous Eng lish has. always an influence. Probably it may often be condemned by the taste of hearers who mistake simplicity for want of polish; .we may fancy that we are too squeam ish for plain language, as, on much better grounds, we are becoming too decent to put up with the national oath. But swearing, though banished from good society, still pro duces an effect where it survives, by the ad mirable energy wMch, in spite of this pro fanity, cannot be denied to the British for mula; of condemnation. And in the' same way, however much some minds may be rendered effeminate by false refinement, good strong English „is always a most powerful weapon, and will end by establishing its superiority over yyindybombast— Saturday Hcview for July 11. -. • : New treatment or Cancer.

He began by giving Count von der Gottz a gargle composed of Indian herbs hith erto unknown to European pharmacopoeias, which produced acute pain, followed by an eruption of small .cancerous abscesses in the root of . the .mouth. After.the gargling had been continued for some time these abscesses came to a head and eventually broke, giving great relief to the patient;. This result is re garded as a very-favorable one by the princi pal medical authorities in’,Parisjit having been hitherto thought impossible to bring a can cerous. abscess to a head. • While this proces< Was; going pn the swefling of-the glands of the lower jaw was removed by rubbing them with an .oilprodnced . by stewing in water a ’pepuliai; species of frog, with a yeUoweklq ana red eyes.
