situated on the beaeli,about two squares below
the Surf House, and is an immense structure.
it is nearly...iompleted, and when finished will

in this country. There is a large and spacious
dancing room connected with it, to be 11.4141

rooms and falilitieS for the acconnnodation of
zi large number of people.
Th e r e have also been nmuerous cottages
erected by enterprising gentlemen, both from
your city and New lurk. The Exchange
wallas been beautified by raising it another
story and surinomiting it with a 31irniard roof.'
'the Sart lit); ise and United StateS Hotel have
also mull:T.l4one ointsiderable' improvement/3,,
and the proprietors of each have a large
fore(' of w uglimen.,., engaged,. in getting, ready
for the opening, which will takeplace on or

great deal of his time to it: In the rear of the
garden be has a large wine vault; a drill' of
sand has been excavated, and lined with solid
mason work; so as to keep it cold. In this
davit. is stored some of the finest German

was in Europe, and bought these vines direct
from the vineyards.
On to,day.(Litualay) the first Sunday train
was run to this place, consisting of six cars
pretty well tilled. Colonel Munday, the effi

TRAGEDY IN lIARIUSBUII.G.
Suicide of a Wonian.
The Harrisburg Pa(riot of yesterday contains
'the following:
The eomn unity was startled on Saturday by
the report, that a woman had committed':
suicide while laboring under mental derange=
ment. Prom the facts as related to US we are
enabled - to glean the. following particulars of
ths . horrible tragedy: Mary A. Sexton, the
suieide, was the wife of Andrew Sexton, a
steady and industribus employe at the Pennsyl
vania coal wharf."' His business obliged him_
to ; Work - at night. : On Saturday' morning
before retiring • he procured 'his razor
Mal shaved hituself, and afters
ward restored it to' its accustomed
place, not forgetting to lock it up. About
half-past twelve o'clock he was aroused by the
cry of one of his SQllS—"Mother has cut her
throat." He arose to Mal his wife in the
hrgonies - of - a - horrible death.—Therewas an-in--
'vision in her throat tour inches in length,
while the blood was coursing over the floor.
A boy about twelve years of age 'was the tirs't
to discoVer the sad fate .of his mother. She
had 'one up stairs for his cap, and was absent
but a short time when he - heard a gurgling
noise: - B e iminediately started tofiscertain the
cause and - found his mother on her knees in the
• act of cutting her throat With a yozor... With
the:assistance of a brother he wrested the in
strument of death front her, bat not until all
hope of her recover: had tied.: Medical aid
was called into requisition, but :before it in,
rived she was a corpse. Thu razpr i With Which'
slui ended her existence was the same one her
husband used hi the . morning. Slid Managed
in some way to open the drawer in -which ft,
had been placed.

. . .
Puts, TneSday„ May 25, 1 . 809. 7 -' The great
eye ut, is over„ mad we knowi approximatively
at least, what haS been the result of ,
the PMI'S
elections. I said fibm tlid beginning that
what was about to. he decided by these elec
tions was, not whether the GoVernthent or the
Opposition should 'preVail, but - Whether the,
capital was about to make, a, forward move
ment itf the sense of a More advanced democ'
.racy. It was , front the first that the,
Government had not a ehanee-a fact, indeed,
which was confessed by its refraining from
the attempt to put forward any avowedotlicial
c'andfdates. It was obliged to content+ itself
With accepting and stipporting the . Candidates
who Were' leaSt ; , objectionable to it ? Thlitii it
supported M. Devinck, although that indi,
vidual was cornp i ellefi, in order to giVe himself
,a chance of s tecebis, to declare
iu favor of a Municipal Council for
Paris, elected by universal suffrage, in
place of the Imperial Commission nomi , s
mated by the EMperor, which at present •
'governs -the city, along with the Prefect.
The Government has always shown itself most
'hostile to such a change: - and , afraid of the
consequences of it. Nevertheless, it accepted
M. Devinek,becauso he afforded the only hope,
of defeating 31. Thiers, it would -have'
been glad to get rid of at any. price- This
election of the Second Division was the• cintniiis
de batialle on which the Government has ap.;
geared most openly in the capital. 'And what
has been the result, so far as yet known? • M.
Thiers has polled 1:3,000 and- M . :
Devinek 10,000. So far the difference : -
is nor enormints. - But `then' '” " conies -
the fact whiff h proves hoW impossible it is for
the G Overmnent to succeed in the capital, un
less the Liberals persevere in opposing each
other. The third. candidate,
tin ultra-Democrat, poled 8,000 votes. tinder'
these circumstances, by the French, electoral
law, a second poll, called a ballotage; is reiLuired,,
beeause none of the three candidates has SP
cured an absolute majority of the votes -givez :
At the second poll, a relative majority suffices,
and if 31. d'Alton-Shee giVeS Way, -
ought•to do, and probably will, it is evident
that the liberals of all shaties,,,united,daif
over the ground with a , majorityof '21,000 to 2-
10,0 W. The above election shows the strength
of the ultras, when a man like d'Altou-Shee,
who enjoys a very Andifterent..renotation,
Can detach 8,000 liberals from,M. Thiers. But.'
there are more striking examples to follew. In
the First Electoral Division Carnot has been ,
defeated by Gambetta by a majority of 18,000
to 11,000. This is a distinct vote in favor of
more advanced democracy; for Carnet is
creellence a man of the Republic of 1848, and ,
his opponent has beaten hint
simply by going further ahead and
being more "thorough" in his declarations.
The crushing defeat of Emile 011ivier in the
Third Division, where his opponent, Bancel,
has been elected by nearly double the number
of votes, is a proof, again, Of\ the invincible
hostility to the Government which exists in,
Paris. 31. 011ivier's sole offence \is 'being sus
pected to lean too much towards'lmperialism
• and to be willing, as I lately said, to accept it
wilds Owit terms. The Parisian electors will
have none of it on any terms, and therefore
throw out y compromising 011ivier, and
choese instead uncompromising Bancel.
Again, in the Fourth Division of Paris, the
same inveterate hostildity is shown; and 31.
- Deniere, the • fashionable -bronze- merchant,
whom 1 mentioned as being run by the gov
ernment at the last moment, has been igno
miniously defeated by Ernest Picard by 27,000
votes to 6,000. So again, in the Eighth MI.-
:441U, Jules Simon has an immense majority
over M. Laeliand r whom the government
favored - , and in the Ninth Division Eugene
Pelletan polls 24,000 against 10,000 given
to IfOliley, an official veterinary
surgeon. To crown all, perhaps,
I must mention that Rochefort, the editor of
the Lanterne, has polled 9,000 votes even in the
.Seventli DiyiSion, where Jules Favre himself
has only polled 12,000. So large a degree of
success; achieved in presence of one who may
be called the "Man of the. people"
...par CJ:cel
lence„ shows how well the-Parisian public has
appreciated the insults and sarcasms heaped
1)y 31. Rechefort upon the Emperor, Empress,
their dynasty, and all that , pelonged to them.
In the Sixth Division, 31. Cochin, a pro
fessed liberal, but supported by the clergy
on account of his religious opinions,
and therefore also "preferred" by the govern
ment, has managed by his liberalism and his
clerical and official patronage combined, to
'make a "tie" with 31. Ferry, amore advanced
liberal; and the two together throw out 31.
Gueroult, of the Opinion Notiontile, whose of
fence again has been too much indulgence to
wards the administration. When 1 have men
tioned that in the Fifth Division, Raspail, - an
advanced democrat, has polled as many votes
as GiirmetcPit - gtis, another roan of - 1.844); - 71 --
have noticed, T think, the chief incidents of
the Paris elections and the conclusions to
which they lead. The' result for the moment
is that 31. Gambetta, 31. Bancel, 31. Picard,
_3IJ - ides Sinton.and_M—Pellatan_are_pleciefir_
and that 31. Carnet amid 31. 011ivier, of the old
deputies,. are finally rejected. 01' the remain
, ipg tiveorhosnelections.. take...place again in.
a fortnight, 31. Thiers is probably safe; so is
either Garnier-Pages or RaSpail, their oppo
nent being no where; so is also. 31. Ferry
against 31. Cochin, if 31. Gueroult; the late
member, throws his 4,000-voter over to the
former; and lastly, it is, more than
probable that Jules Favre, if elected 0.96- -
where, will yield his plaeo Paris to Roche-•
fort,- of the'Lenterpe,beetutse the choice of the
latter by the capital would be nearly the great- .
est insult it could bestOw, upon the Emperor!,
On tlie . whole, the politicrd color of the Paris,
elections'' is of a more a vanee eta ism in
1809 than it was in . 1863.. But the change is not
very gi nor so groat as 'c expected, con
sidering the character of many of the.eleotoral:
addresses. The socialist and communist candl

The news from the provinees reaches its very
slowly, and we know little as yet Of the real
result of the election in the country. There .
can be little doubt, however, that, with ex-,
eeptions here and there, the vast majority of
the rural districts will have gene for the-gov—
ernment. The pressure; latterly, has been

.1.1-1 E DAILY NEWS. .
The News states thattht vote of the House of
Lords can at the worst postpone for only a few
months the fate of the Irish Church, and the
indirect effect will render it graver to raise the
question. 'The position that the House of
Lords holds in the constitution and its rela
tions with the constituencies of the House of
CO - lumens - and - the . executive powers of - the
Crown are self-adjuSting, and if a hitch occurs
in the machinery it sets itself in order by its
own action. The House of Lords stands
outside of -the system, guided by good
sense, - . and fails only to be brought
into harmony with the rest of the
constitution when the forcible obtrusion put
upon ithrottumbworitsmienibers Is Sufli•
toent to overbear the opinion of the original
body. A biassed jury has to be packed to
judge whether the second Chamber in doing
its work on these conditiits eau be permanent
on the part of the gove -nment. The Lords
seem bent upon forcing üblie notice on the
position of the Peers and threaten a revival of
the pretensions,. long since abandoned by it,
of the old baronial) lla i w titude of its natural days,
k 1)
when the Comi. ere only allowed the
humble supplications f petitions _and did not
in reality govern the country.
THE TELEGRAPH.
The Telegraph in a moderate, timid article
coneludes that the yofte of the country has
spoken unmistakably and finally, and it' forced
to speak again its accents would be a'resolve
no longer to utter a free indignation or to pre
serve moderation, a mood which to•the la.st it
would earnestly- maintain.
THE TIMES.
The T ilii tssays that on the eve of the wining
crisis nothing since the throes which preceded
the passage of the Reform bill call be com
pared to the consequences which will attend •
the threatened conduct of the Peers, and the'
result of the s niggle is not at all doubtful.
If the Lords succeeded at first they would be
compelled to undergo a second tender of the
measure already rejected. The first re
sults of this action will touch all interests, and
jeopard not only themselves and their
_mivileges ,_but_alseL_lhe—peaec...ot_ tile_ groat
towintand the maintenance of law and order
throughout the country. Above all, they will
.do their best to .provoke an outburst of pas
sionate violence in an unhappy coimtry, the
vast majority of whose inhabitants they pro
.pose to outrage, by - a contemptuous - disregard
_oftheir wishels..,_.AS_ta the inaj ority of the Pj.) -
position; the !Tline, 'draws the conclusion that
the IrieniberS have resolved to intrench them

to themselveg: The nation would •be rudely

some weeks ago copied two or three, articles
that were widely - printed in the East, in which
it charged and shown by speeitiCations
that a good deal of lawlessness exists among

perpetrated bythem upon a itumber of women;
that some of the ottice.rs ate: greatly addicted
to drunkenness and that others

ports show also that the finlians and natives
have been abused and maltreated in many
ways, and in a word that there is ..deplorable
lack of discipline among it portion of the
