Every a- * e has produced some new system of artificial therapeutics which the next age has banished ; each lias boasted m its turn of cures , and they , in their turn , have been condemned as failures . Medicines themselves are the subjects unsettled : in fact , that it has no established principles , that it is little more than conjectural ? ' At this moment , ' 6 avs Mr . Pinny , ' the opinions on the subject of treatment are almost a 3 numerous as the practitioners themselves .

FRANCS . The President continues to hold reviews and treat the soldiers with champagne and sausages . General Changarnier shows his displeasure by leaving tie moment the review is over , and the distrifcution of these sony bribes to the army
comjneaces . The correspondent of the 'Morning Chronicle ' says : — * If it were not for the seriousness of the subject , and the incalculable evils it may bring on France and the world , one conld be tempted to laugh at the tribulation of the Paris papers , aud especially of the Conservative papers , at the mode in which the Government i 3 enforceiiig the new law relative to the press ! As long as the Government merely attacked the Red Republican journals , not a word oi complaint was to be heard on the part of wj » at-are call / a-the great journals . - The Government might heaping
crush t he' People ' as much as it liked , by fine upon fine , and prosecution ujDn prosecution ; it mi ght prevent the sale of the Element , in the streetsfand imprison those who ventured to do so in elMOS ; ft mig ht throw Socialist proprietors and editors into pr ison , and withdraw their brevets from printers who gave the use of their presses to Republican publications . All these and similar acts of illegalitv and oppression were passed over without a ejllableof disapprobation or remonstrance on the part of ' the organs of the party of order . ' They felt strong in their own position , and all warnings -were thrown awav 02 them . It was in vain that
tbey were told that their tnrn was coming , and that the day was not far distant when the ' Debats' and * Assemblee Nationale' would share the fate of the ' Evenement . ' They not only would not believe it , but hypocritically preached to their unfortnnate contemporaries the propriety of resignation under evils which they had brought upon themselves . The tables are now turned . The new law respecting the signatures of all articles of religious , political , or moral discussion , is enforced wits a stringency which they did not expect , and which is not only absurd , but very inconvenient . Uven the ' Debats / which is usnally so temperate in its attacks on the acts of the Governmen :, has lost its temper . In an article
signed by its great chief , M . Armand Berlin , it says tear , " from the severity extended hythe Go's eminent to the press , it would appear as if it was the determination of the powers that be to make the new iaw not an instrument of justice , bnt one of paltry persecution ; and it concludes by exclaim , ing , ' If it be true that the present Government wishes to treat the press as a natural enemy , and to attack , aot the abuses , but its very existence , we ask that it should be stated openly , in order that we nay preserve for our own defence the little force that we consecrate to the defence of others ! ' The
Doctor Veron , in the' Constitution nel , ' is equally angry , and declares that the' Sieele , ' which is prosecuted for no other offence bnt that of having published a letter which wa 3 anonymous , bat perfectly harmless , has great cause to complain , and that the rigour of the legal authorities is quite incomprehensible . AH these complaints and lamentations 2 re now useless . The Conservative journals allowed the press to be despoiled of its rights , under the vain hope that they themselves would not be touched . They are now allowed to live by
euffrance , but by suffrance alone . Such is the power given to ihe Government by the recent laws , that it can put down the whole or any one of the Paris papers whenever it may suit its purpose to do so . The liberty of the press exists no longer in France , excepting in appearance ; and the day is not far distant when even that snow of liberty will be dispensed with . Toe Republican press has already been destroyed , and the turn of the Legitimists and Orleanists has now come . In aBhort time no paper will be tolerated in France that is not pure Sonapartist . '
The ' Press ' publishes the commencement of a work by M . da Laraartine , entitled ' England in 1850 / M . de Lamartine begins by saying' Called , by circumstances of an entirely prirate character , to re-visit England , after an absence of twenty years , it was impossible for me not to be astonished at the immense progress made by Eng land during that time , not only in population , in riches , in industry , in navigation , in railroads , in extent , ia buildings , in embellishments , in the increase of the health of the capital , but still more in the charitable
institutions for the people , and in associations of real , religious , coaservative , and fraternal socialism between classes , to prevent explosions by the evaporation of the causes which produce them , to suppress murmurs from below by incalculable benefits from above , and to close the mouths of the people , not by the brutalities of the police , but by the hand of public virtue . Far from being afflicted I felt humbled at the beautiful spectacle of so many work 3 really popular , which g ive to England at the present moment an incontestible pre-eminence in this respect over us , and over the rest of Europe . '
A change of Ministry is spoken of , but the rutnonr does not appear to rest upon any very sure foundation . On the afternoon of the 3 rd a special train arrived at the station of Angers , bringing eighty-five political prisoners from Doullens , under a strong escort . They were immediately conveyed in omnibuses , under the surveillance of ths gendarmerie and the police , to a steamer which was waiting for them at the port of Ligny , and which left for Painbceuf , where another steamer will take them to Belle-Isle . M . Proudhon has written to the responsible editor of t he ' People / to say that the police having taken umbrage at his work , announced under the name of 'Partiqua RSvolationnsdre , ' the publication 0 / it re . mains postponed for the present .
A few days ago a dreadful accident occurred to Madame de Vaines , sister-in-law of M . Guizot , and onl y twenty-five years of age , at her chateau of Villelonet . From her clothes catching fire she was so dreadfully burnt , that , after lingering in great agony for five days , she expired . Wednesday Morning . —To-dayfceig ht journals , prosecuted for contravention of thelaw respecting the signature of articles , will appear before the tribunal Of correctional police , the competence of which in such offences is generally questioned , and disproved in an elaborate article of the' Gazette des Tribnnaux , by M . Paillard de Yilleneuve .
Among the journals cited before the correctional police is the'TJnivers / in consequence of the absence of signature from its foreign correspondence . The conduct of the President , in treating the soldiers at the reviews , formed the subject of discussion and inquiry at the weekly meeting of this Committee of Permanence . Several members observed that the army was , in the present political state of the country , the sole guarantee for the safety of society , and tbe only bulwark that cauld be relied on against the invasion of Socialism , and that to sap the discipline of the troops , was the most dangerou 3 of all mischiefs . The cries uttered by some battalions at the reviews , in filing off before the President and the Minister of War , were not only unconstitutional ,
but all cries were forbidden on such occasions by the regulations of the service . The committee insisted on the strict observance of these regulations . General d'Hautpoul took the extraordinary course of denying that he had any knowledge of tbe cries in question , which raised considerable noise and dissatisfaction . But he promised , for the future , to insist on the strict adherence to the regulations . In order to give the pledge of the Minister a trial , the sitting was adjourned until the day after the next review . This was expected to pass off quietly ; for it generally happens that when the manoeuvres of the Elysee receive a positive check of this sort , they are dropped for the nonce , to be resumed when the vigilance of surveillance is relaxed .
No reliance can be placed upon the declaration attributed by report to Gen . d'Hautponl , that he would positively decline to authorise an order of the day prohibiting crie 3 of Vive 1 'Empereur ! ' The meeting -was attended more fully than usual , twentyfive members out of thirty-four being present .
BELGIUM . The Queen of the Belgians is seriously ill . The bnlletins issued gave small hopes of her recovery .
PRUSSIA . The Berlin papers of tbe 4 th inst ., announce that tbe Constitutionnelle Zeitung' has been suppressed by the Prussian government . Letters from the Polish frontier of the 1 st inst ., in t he ' Kolner Zeitnng , state that ten Circassians , full y armed and equipped , have crossed the Prussian frontier , and demanded to be conducted to the King of Prussia . They were sent to Inowradaw , where they again desired that an escort mig ht be given to them at Berlin . Their demand having been refused , aud when they saw that preparations were making to disarm them , they stood back to back aud vowed that they would rather perish than allow themselves to be taken and seat back to Rosiia . A combat ensued , in which they killed two Prussian Dra-

A detachment of forty men of the Infantry has been sent for from Bromberg . Two of the Circassians were killed , and two were captured .
HESSE CASSEL . At the date of our advices from Casael , no actual app lication of the new powers vested in the coramander-in-cbief had taken place . The Standing Committee had replied to the last ordinance and address of General Haynau , by the spirited protest subjoined . From a letter inserted below it would appear doubtful whether the commander ' s new dignity had not affected his wits . The Permanent Committee has re-opened the indictment against the ministers , to include the offence of issuing the proclamation of September 23 , and prays an order for their immediate suspension and imprisonment . Oa the 30 th General Bauer requested bis discharge as general of division , in addition to release from tbe chief command . The old gentleman was so anxious on the snbject as to forward the request by telegraph .
A correspondent writes from Cassel on the 2 nd : — ' Our situation is one of the strangest and most ludicrous , and at the same time most eventful and anxious that can well be imagined of a people . The protection of tbe law and courts of justice is withdrawn by the sovereign ; all are made responsible to an irresponsible soldier , and this soldier a fanciful , half-witted eld man , who imagines he has a commission from Heaven to chastise the Hessians . Haynan ' s own p hysician does not consider him fit to be at large , and has declared him a monomaniac . This morning he prepared to go to work , and actually gave orders to have red hot shot in readiness , as if he were about to burn down an enemy ' s city , and yet , amidst all , the town is perfectly tranquil .
The schism between the Government and rival Government , that is , the Permanent Committee , continues to widen in lien of offering a prospect of settlement . The Government fulminates ordinances , and exhibits the utmost resolution to enforce exceptional measures , and the Permanent Committee retorts by connter ordinances and by drawing up new acts of impeachment . Meantime , the complications that arise on every side in Germany are almost bewildering . The storm bad scarcely broken out at Cassel , ere symptoms of disaffection exhibited themselves at Darmstadt . This has scarcely been quelled ere another field of strife presents itself at Stutgardt , where democracy is called into life by the meeting of a Chamber , in which the Cabinet finds itself in a minority of nearly ten to one .
Matters move smoothly for the moment in Schwerin , for a Prussian division occupies the frontier on all sides , and could sweep the land in almost a twinkling . Oct . 4 , —Tbe Burgher-guard was dissolved this morning while on parade . All the journals are suspended . Great agitation rei gns , but order is not disturbed . M . Oettker , proprietor of the 'New Hessian Gazette / has been arrested , and taken to tbe castle .
The Hall of the Assembly is occupied by troops . The Members of the Permanent Committee present are shut in . M . Henkel is arrested . Tbe Burgher-guard refuses to surrender its arms . Oct . 5 . —The Auditoriat-General has investigated the charge against Haynau , and ordered his trial by court-martial . Colonel Hildebrand has left for Wilhelmsbad , as a deputation from the constitutional officers . Haynau has given his word to do nothing decisive till his return .
A letter , dated Cassel , Oct . 4 th , says : —« When the Burgher-guard was dissolved , it was ordered to deposit its arms by six o ' clock in the evening . It is now nine , bnt no arms have been brought in , and the guard is nnanimous in declaring that it will not yield but to force . To avoid a premature and unnecessary conflict with tbe troops of the line , the guard declines to occupy the post reserved for it by t he mnnici pal authorities . The offices of tbe ' New Hessian Gazette , ' the' Hornisse , ' and the' Frelons , are occupied by troops . *
We have advices from Cassel of the 6 th . The Auditoriat-General , on the application of the Standing Committee , have ordered the garrison court of Cassel to commence an investigation of the charges alleged against General Haynaa , commander-in-chief . The garrison court constituted itself for that purpose on the 5 tb . Haynau is now said to be taken ill . No further acts of violence have taken place . The bnrgher-gaard has not surrendered a musket ; the Ober burghermeister , &c , have not been molested
in their functions . No further orders or announcements have bees issued by the military chief . The Supreme Court of Appeal has sent a deputation , consisting of three of the judges , to the Elector , to make strong representations on the illegality of his measures . Lient-Colonel Hillebrand has been deputed to the same duty by the army , and even Haynau , it is said , has sent Captain Linke to add force to their arguments . The people are calm and more confident than ever .
DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES . Attack upon Fkiedrichstadt . — The Schleswig-Holstein infantry made an assault upon Friedrichstadton the night of the 4 th inst ., and were not successful . The assailants were compelled to withdraw . A second attempt to storm tbe city was to be made on the 5 th . A letter , dated Hamburg , Oct . 5 th says : — ' Until a quarter to five yesterday the Scbleswig army before Friedrichstadt had made no further progress in reducing the place . The cannonade was kept up
with great spirit throughout the day , and was very effective on both sides . A general assault was spoken of , and Col . Von der Tann was said to favour the idea . It is stated that Freidriehstadt is open towards the east and north , and that the garrison receives reinforcements by these sides . It is further affirmed that the garrison is keeping up communications with the main army by the road which leads from Friedrichstadt to Tonningen and Husum . where the Danish troops are in farce . If this be true , it is no wonder that Col . Yon der Tann is unable to take the place .
The combined Russian and Danish fleets which have for a long time remained in the waters of Kiel , have suddenly left the port . On the 1 st of October , eleven Russian men-of-war were counted in the port of Sonderburg in Schleswig . The King of Denmark and his uncle , Prince Ferdinand , arrived at Copenhagen , on their return from Schleswig , on the 2 nd . The King has since gone on board the Russian fleet . Hamburg , Oct . 6 . —The Schleswig-Holstein army attempted to take Friedrichstadt by storm , at four p . m ., on the 5 th , but were repulsed bj the Danes . The army of the Duchies is in position at Suderstapel . Its loss is considerable , particularly in officers .
Our dates from the seat of war are to the morning of the 5 th inst . After bombarding part of the town during the whole of the preceding day , and after destroying the large block-house close to the road , the town was in the evening attacked by two battalions of infantry and a detachment of riflemen . The principal church was burning at the time , and one end of the town was one complete mass of flame after a desperate struggle , in which both sides must bave experienced very heavy losses , the Danes
gave way a little , but only to seek the cover of new entrenchments and barricades thrown up in the middle of the town . The resistance which they me t with here was so violent and determined , that , notwithstanding the most brilliant bravery , the Schleswig-Holsteiners were compelled to retire from the town at midnight . They took up a new position somewhat in advance of the old , and the conflict was to be renewed on the following morning . The losses sustained by the Schleswig-Holsteiners are as yet unknown .
Both sides behaved extremely well , according to the accounts .
UNITED STATES . The Asia brings news up to the 25 th ult . On the 24 th a bill passed the House of Representatives authorising the Secretary of the Treasury to permit vessels from the British North American provinces to load and unload in ports of the United States , provided similar privileges be extended to vessels of the United States in those provinces . This is the first step to perfect reciprocity of trade between the two countries . The bill authorising the payment of the indemnity money to Mexico was passed by the Senate in the form in which it came from the house .

clared their intention to become citizens of the United States , and who can produce certificates of good character . ' Letters from Pittsburgh of the 24 th ult . represent great excitement as prevailing in that vicinity among the coloured population , in consequence of the passage of the Fugitive Slave Bill by Congress . A party of seventeen negroes , who had formerly been slaves , are said to have started for Canada on the 21 st , armed to the teeth with pistols , bowie knives , &c . ; and small parties were leaving daily .
The arrival of the Philadelphia from Cbagres , via Kingston , with specie to the amount of 1 , 000 , 000 dollars , and of the Ohio with 500 , 000 dollars , put us in possession of advices from California to the 15 th of August . The most important feature of the news is the occurrence of a serious collision between the ' Squatters / so called , and the ' Landholders / at Sacramento city , on account of certain conflicting claims to the title of lands . A large portion of the ground on which the city of Sacramento is built , together with extensive tracts in the vicinity , were held by grants from Captain Sutler , holding his claims under the New Helvetia Spanish grants . The settlers maintain that this grant did not cover the territory in question , but that it belonged to the government of the United States . On this plea they had moved on and erected buildings ; a suit for
forcible entry and detainer was brought against them , and decided in the plaintiff ' s favour ; a writ of restitution was issued ; the officer was resisted in his attempt to execute it ; an appeal to a higher court was presented ; this was set aside , and a state of great exasperation was the consequence . A party of six or eight persons were arrested for resisting the law , and two of them , in default of bail , were committed to prison , An attempt was made to release them . This brought on a sanguinary conflict ; forty or fifty shots were fired between the combatants ; the mayor of the city and the leader of the settlers were killed , snd a number of persons wounded . The city was declared under martial law and every citizen required to hold himself in readiness for military duty . It was reported that Sacramento city had been burned to the ground , and that the' Squatters' were receiving reinforcements from the mines .
The ' Pacific News' g ives the following particulars : — ' On board steamer Senator , Aug . 14 , Half-past two o ' clock , ' A terrible excitement pervades the city of Sacramento . The Senator delayed her departure for San Francisco to gather particulars . The issue is one between the squatters , or settlers , and the citizens holders of property under the Sutter titles —and a bloody issue it promises to be . Several persons are already killed and wounded on both sides .
' Tee history and result of the affair , thus far , is briefly this : —Large tracts of ground , covering the city and vicinity of Sacramento are held by grants from Captain Sutter , who claims under bis New Helvetia Spanish grant . The settlers hold that Captain Sutter ' s grant does not cover this territory ; that it belongs to the government . They have moved on and erected buildings . A suit for forcible entry' and detainer is brought against them—decided in tbe plaintiffs' favoura writ of restitution issued—the officer attempts to execute it—is met b y a bod y of armed squatters , who resist him . This occurred on Saturday , the 10 th . Prior to this date an appeal to the County
Court had been made by the attorneys for tbe settlers , Judge Willis presidiug , and the right of appeal denied . Exasperation of course was the effect of the party seeking redress in the hi gher court . Meetings were held and resolutions were passed to resist the law . Nothing was done more by legal process from Saturday until yesterday ( Tuesday , ) when some six or eight persons were arrested for rebellion or resisting the officers and tbe process of the court on Saturday , and two , in defaul t of bail , incarcerated in the prison brig-One of them is M'Ciatcby , carrier of the ' Sacramento Transcript . ' ' To-day a body of settlers repaired to the brig to release their two companions , where they met Sheriff M'Kinnev , Major Bigelow , and a posse ,
who drove them from the ground , but no force was used until the settlers had retreated as far east from tbe river , up J street , as the corner of Fourth , near the Crescent City Hotel , when they were overtaken and turned at bay with pistols and ganSi Forty or fifty shots were fired between the parties and in the period of five minutes Mayor Bigelow was shot from his horse , throug h t he bedy , arm , and in the face ; not expected to live . The leader of the settlers , Mahloney , was also slot dead . The horses of both leaders were pierced with balls . Assessor Woodland , an auctioneer , was also killed while supporting the officers . Mr-Harper , assistant P . M ., was shot in the left hand and right shoulder , and others of the same side are wounded .
' Another man of the settlers was killed—shot throug h the body . A little girl was wounded while passing along J street ; the shots flew in all directions around the corner of J and Fourth-streets , and the blood of the wounded streamed upon the side walks as they were carried along . One man , leading a mule along the street , was shot through the head ; from the top the ball passed downward through the neck . 'The greatest excitement still pervaded the city when the boat shoved off . From six to nine hundred settlers had assembled at the corner of J and Ninth streets , resolved to fire upon any who approached them . The city is declared under martial law , and every citizen is required to enrol his name at the City Hotel .
' In addition to the order for citizens to enrol their names at the City Hotel , Lieutenant-Governor M'Dougal also directed an order to be published that all non-combatants keep clear of the streets , and directed a cannon , supplied with twenty-four rounds to be placed at the foot of the street , and will , by the Gold Hunter , take up from Benicia , by Thursday morning , all the implements of war , with which he is resolved to take the enemy , and bring them to a speedy and summary trial . ' Very Latest . —Sacramento City in Ashes . —Just as the steamer Carolina was getting under way ( about four p . m ., ) a despatch was received on board from the Pacific News ' office , stating that an express had just arrived , bringing the intelligence that Sacraipento city had been reduced to ashes , and the squatters were receiving reinforcements of men from the mines .
The despatch referred to was received by Mr . Norcross , assistant editor of the ' Pacific News , ' who reached here last night in the Philadelphia . He considered it , we understand , entirely reliable . At the time the Carolina left , fifty United States soldiers had left Benicia for the scene of battle , and two volunteer companies in San Francisco had also offered their services to maintain order . The accounts given of gold p lacers , vast lumps of gold worth from 2 , 000 dollars to 6 , 000 dollars each , are more florid and tempting than ever . At Carron s Creek lumps worth 19 , 000 dollars had been obtained by two men in two and a half days—one
lump weighed eleven pounds , as smooth as glass , and absolutely pure ! At Feather River Dam , seven men obtained 12 , 000 dollars in five days . This dam is worked by ten shareholders , and the shares are already worth 3 , 000 dollars and 4 , 000 dollars each ; several dams are in process of formation , and the washings are expected to yield abundantly . Ten thousand men are engaged in the mines . Regulations are established among the miners , restricting new comers to the ground they select , and ruling that all miners on leaving a digging must take new ground in a new region . But alas . ' crime and murder prevail on the San Joachim . According to the ' Alta California' of the 15 th of August , a most horrid outrage was perpetrated on the previous ni ght , at
Wood ' s Ferry , San Joachim river . The ferry was in the charge of two men of the names of Watts , an American , and Boyce , an Englishman . It appears that they had hired six Mexicans to make adobes / On Sunday morning the tent was found deserted . Boyce ' s bed was covered with blood , and the pillow besmeared with the brains of the murdered man . A watch and chain lying beneath the pillow was completely divided , from which circumstance it is supposed that the murder had been committed by a sharp hatchet , which had severed the skull of the deceased , pillow , and watch . The ground between the river and the tent was marked with traces of blood , and showed clearly that the bodies of the murdered men had been dragged tu the water ' s edge , and then thrown into the stream .
A call has been issued for a Working Man ' s State Convention in Boston ou the 10 th of October , to considtr what political action or other measures are required by tbe interests of labour . The number of Protective Union Stores and Co-operative Trades ' Associations is constantly on tbe increase in New England , and it can scarcely be doubted that in the course of a few years they will pervade the whole country . They form an effectual mode of transition from the present industrial bondage , to

the era of practical independence from the down , trodden maBaes . The people of the state of Vermont are preparing to send a mammoth petition to Congress in favour of the adoption of measures leading to the peace * able adjustment of all international differences , and the establishment of a board for that purpose , on tbe basis recently suggested at the Frankfort Peace Convention . The Turkish Ambassador , Amin Bey , was presented In due form , on Saturday last , to . . the Presi . dent of the United States . He delivered * an appro . ? priate speech in tbe Turkish language , which . was translated by his interpreter , Mr . Brown . President Fillmore replied in a brief address , welcoming the Ambassador to this country , and assuring biro of the sympathy of the American people with liberal institutions , while strictly adhering to the line of
neutrality . Mr . Alexander Lukacs , formerly a member of the Congress of Hungary , and Commissary of the Hungarian army , has arrived in New York . He is about to visit the West , where he proposes to purchase a tract of land for three thousand of his countrymen , from Central Hungary , most or whom are addicted to agricultural pursuits . Tin ' s gentleman is one of the eleven persons who were outlawed by General vVindisgr&iz , in December , 1848 , when he entered Hungary at tbe head of the Austrian array . One writer says
;' There is no doubt but what Kossuth and his brave compatriots , now in Turkey , will soon arrive in Enaland , and from thence seek a home in tbe United States . M . Lukacs has made an application to tbe State department to know if a vessel could be placed at their disposal , to convey them from England bete , at the public expense , as the English Government has offered to convey them from Turkey to England . I cannot say what answer has been given , but it is probable there are no funds at the disposal of the Government to allow of the application being acceded to . If this is the
case , I trust the matter will be brought to the attention of Congress , and the necessary means voted . ' A rumour ia afloat that another Cuban invasion is contemplated , and that the first descent will be made on Hayti for the purpose of everthrowing the Government of the black Emperor , Faustin 1 . It is said that a long conference , in relation to the movement , has been held between Mr . Webster and tbe Spanish Minister , who was induced to return from New York to Washington on this account . This rumour needs a confirmation , it being scarcely credible that within so short a time of the recent defeat of the Cuban adventurers , any
further demonstrations will be made in that quarter . Our city has been much excited for a day or two by a rumour that the children sent to a foundling asylum at Harlsem , near New York , bave been made away with by hundreds during the last year , aud by a Quakeress who has charge of it . Au investigation is going on , but up to this moment the rumour appears grossly exaggerated . It is certain that eight or nine babies have died and been buried within a few days past , and that their graves were most indecently shallow . There has been some equivocation on the part of this woman , which makes the affair look rather black .
Jenny Lind ' s concerts on Saturday and Tuesday nig hts were attended b y nearly 9 , 000 persons , and the enthusiasm she has excited has not in the least degree abated . There is a rush from the cities and towns in the interior to attend her concerts which is really surprising . As it is probable she will only sing in the largest cities , those who reside elsewhere have no alternative , if they desire to hear her , but to repair to the large cities . The very expense and trouble occasioned by this necessity give impulse to the public . Every family in easy circumstances throughout the country is sure to attend her concerts . It will be a kind of distinction to be able to say , ' We went to New York to hear Jenny Lind . ' Some sanguine people ' calculate ' that she will clear a million of dollars .
Fenny Lind and her manager are said to have had one misunderstanding . On tbe night of her first concert she determined to give away in charity the whole of her receipts . Mr . Barnum informed her that her share would be 10 , 500 dols ., and told her that he would announce the gift from the stage .-She requested him not to do so , but he did , and tbe effect was , as he probably anticipated , to make her popular in the highest degree . Subsequently Mr . Barnum , in overhauling his accounts , found , as he alleged , that she made but 7 , 000 dols . by that con
cert , and informed Jenny she must make up the deficiency in the donation out of her own funds . The story is , tbat the lady told him she intended to g ive the whole proceeds of tbat concert , that he informed her she had 10 , 500 dols to bestow , and that on the faith of that declaration she had committed herself . She is reported to have said that be must correct the mistake out of bis own pocket , and Mr . Barnum did so without the least hesitation . If this be all true , it shows tbat Jenny is not to be made a fool of by any one , and Barnum is reported to have said it was the first time he had been
outgeneralled by a woman . At the meeting of the New York Industrial Council on the 17 th of September , the following resolution was adopted , and the Corresponding Secretary ordered to communicate it to England : — That a complimentary vote of thanks be tendered by tbe New York Industrial Council to the men in the employ of Messrs . Barclay and Perking and Co ., of London , for the prompt and very striking recep .
tion given by them to the great enemy of Social Freedom , General Haynau ; but more especially for the sympathy they evinced on the occasion for the great and glorious principles of Liberty and Humanity . Although the members of this Council are not particularly partial to physical demonstrations in the usual way , and hi g hly deprecate vio . lations of the principles of Law and Order , they cannot but express their regret at being absent from the scene of the late festivities .

The dauk side of Glasgow . —There must be an active manufactory of thieves at work somewhere in the lower regions of society . The police-offices , the gaols , and the hulks , aro constantly filled with thieves . Batch after batch are brought up to the justiciary courts , sentenced , and despatched to the penal colonies with little ceremony ov waste of time ; but these successive exportations seem to make no more impression on the residue of crime than water drawn from the wells on the perennial spring . The fountain of supply seems as inexhaustible in the one case as in the other . 5 To sooner have one troop of dingy , dog-faced , thievish reprobates been transferred from the dock to the convict ship than a new troop of precisely the same type start up in their place . Tho cry is still " they come , they come !" like the everlasting guards at Waterloo , or the myriads of the lost that flit through the shade of Inferno . Glasgow produces its periodical supply of candidates for the hulks , as certainly as its supply of calicoes , its custom-house revenue , or its births , its deaths , and its marriages . The crop of potatoes may fail , but the crop of thieves never . There is less fluctuation in the increase of thefts than of any commodity probably with which society is supplied , than even of population itself , and certainly than of any other class of crimes . —North British Mail .
