Captain Higgins, which arrived off Cowes this af-
ternoon en route to Bremen, we have dates from
New York to the 61h inst.
The _Hermann brings about 80 passengers, a
small quantity of specie, and usual cargo.
The news from Kansas is still interesting. The
pro-slavery forces had succeeded in turtung the
tables on their Free-State oppments, and much
blood had been spilt and properly destroyed, if the
reports that have reached are reliab'e. At Ossawa-
t)m e, on the 30 h ult., the belligeiente, to the
nuinter of 30J on each side, fought for an hour,
when the Free-Sta-e n "ere routed, with a loqs
of 2j killed and sever 1 wounded. Mr. Brown, the
leader of the defeated party, and his son, are re-
ported among the killed. On the 21 inst. the pro-
slavery men attacked the Free-soilers in Leaven-
rth,drove every one of hem out of the town at the
point of the bayonet, Pnd deAroyed or confiscated
their property. It is also stated that parties of
Missourians have possession of the Io va road, thus
cutting off the retreat of h Free-State men. Tae
New York journals publish the substance of the
c'Jrrespoudenee which has pissed between the au-
thorities of Kansa and Ihe general Govc-rnme t
with reference to the trimbles iu the territory, to-
gether with infernal ins :0 Colonel Geary, the
newly-appointed Governor, who was at St. Louis
on the 4th inst. on his w-ty to the scene of the dis-
turbance, to enrol and organise the of the
territory, the force i,l iegut,tr troops being inade-
quate. One division under General Richardson,
was already in the field. Requisitions had also
been made upon the Governors of Kentucky and
Illinois for two regiments of infantry, tin be
paced under the orders of Gen. Smith. to aid in
suppressing insurre,Aioniiry corn( ina-ions against
the constituted Governm nt o' Kan as. I istruc-
tions had also been issued to avoid ;,s much as pos-
sible any appeal to arm-, but, s Would a real neces-
sity for the employment of torce.arise, to employ it
with all vigour until the insurrection be suppressed.
Private advicea from Kansts state that on the
2d inst. every Free-Sate man was driven from
Leavenworth at the point of the bayonet and all
their property destroyed or confiscated. Mr. Phil-
lips, the correspondent of the Arcav York Tribune,
and his brother were killed. The house of the
former and the store of the latter were burnt. It
is said that Mr. Pl.illips fired from his house and
killed two pro-slavery men.
Yellow fever continued to decline in New York,
and the journals report very favourably of the
condition of the public health.
Intelligence is received from Honduras. The
datt•s are °nava, July 30, and Truxillo, August 12.
The inauguration of Walker's Administration in
Nicaragua had excited much uneasiness, and Hon-
duras was busily engaged in raising troops to join
the league formed, by Guatemala, Costa Rica, and
San Sat vacior against him. All Americans were
suspected, and a decide bad been issued ordering
none of them to land in the republic. The United
States' consul had protested against the execution
of this decree and forwarded copies of the paper to
the Cabinet in Wallington. New gold placers
had been opened wcst of Truxillo, and $2O per day
were earned in them.

An immense Republican, meeting bad been held
at Rochester, at which about 30,000 pers us were
present. A Democratic assembly at Cincinnati
numbered 40,000. A grand Democratic ratifica-
tion meeting at Concord is estimated to have had
about 30,000 people, with a procession two miles
long, eight persons walking abreast.
The steamship Daniel Webster, from New
Orleans to New York, had encountered a hurri-
cane, which did considerable damage, and carried
away the wheelhouses, compelling her to return to
port.

The Supreme Court at Albany had been sud-
denly adjourned. The judge stated that, in conse-
quence of the present constitution of the Court it
seemed to him impossible that strict justice could
be fairly administered. The decision caused great
excitement amongst the lawyers. Tile Court would
resume in October.

At Charleston and Savannah considerable damage
had been done to the r tilways by heavy rains.
A North Carolina railroad bridge had given way,
carrying down a locomotive and a portion of
the train attached to it. Five persons, including
the engineer and fireman, are reported to have
been killed.

The Emigration commissioners report that,
during the week, 1,487 emigrants had arrived as
New York, making 89,572 during tLo year. The
debt of the Commission had decreased $21,795.
In the New York money-market foreign ex-
changes were quiet. The stock-market had ad.
vanced. The sales of cotton on the sth inst.
reached about 1,500 bales, based upon middling
uplands at about 11 p., and Now Or:eans ditto
at 11c., th 9 market closing firm. Tho receipts
of four were light, especially of good to exura
brands of new state, and the stock in matk
more reduced, while there was a good
Ex-
tern and local demand. Prices advanced 100.
per barrel, and in some cases 30c. Wheat was
tirin for good to choice new, with sales of red at
$1 50c. to $1 53c., and of white at $1 67c. to
$1 63e. ; old was dull. Corn was firm, with sound
mixed at 67c. to 68c. Pork was heavy, with sales
of mess, in lots, at $l9 624 to $l9 75. Lard was
arm, with sales on the dock at 134 e. Sugars sold,
to the extent of about 1,200 hhds. Coffee was
firm ; the sales embraced about 3,500 bags of
native Ceylon, and about 2,000 to 2,200 ditto Rio,
and 450 ditto Maracaibo. Freights were less
active, and unchanged.

A SLEEPY WIFE REBUKED.----A. minister of the
"Kirk" of Scotland once discovered his wife asleep is
the widst of his family on the Sabbath. So, pausing in
the steady, and possibly somewhat rnonct mous flow of
Ilia oratory, he broke forth with this personal ad. rse,
pharp and clear, but very deliberate :—" Susan I" Susan
opened her eyes and ears in a twinkling, as did all other
dreamers in the house, whether asleep or awake.
"Saran I I didna marry ye for your wealth, since ye
hae'd. nane ; and I didna marry ye for your beauty—
that the hal congregation eau see; and if ye have no
grace I have made but a sair bargaiu."—Salad for the
Social.

HOSPITALS, more than any other buildings, demand
the most careful arrangements—not merely for the am-
ple supply of air, ut ton ore that the air so supplied
oe pure. So little has this been a. tended to in days
gone by that there are many hospitals in this 'coon•
try where, as soon as the wards get full, fevers and
other disorders appear, and it is difficult to effect a
cure in many cases which, under other circumstances,
would be overcome without difficulty. A. lealing
E linburgh professor, in some recently-published.'` bre.,
zuoirs," says —" I have often stated and taugl t that,
if our present medical, surgical, and obstetric 1 o.pitals
were (iwa ed, from being crowded palaces with a layer
of sick in each fiat, into villages or cottages with one, or
at most two patients in each room, a great saving of
human life would be effected. And if the village wen
constructed of iron (as is now sometimes done for ()tiler
purposes), instead of brick or stone, it could be taken
down and rebuilt every few years; a matter, apparently,
of much moment in hospital hygiene. Etisides, the
value of the mate rial would not greatly deteriorate front
use—the principal outlay would he in the first cost of
it. It could be erected iu any vacant space or spaces et
ground, within or around a ci ty,that chance to he unoo•
copied ; and, in cases of epidemics, the accommodation
could always be at mace and readily increased. 7., There
is value in the hint, but it is only in exceptional cues
that it could he resorted to. Hospitals must still
be erected, and we must take care that every avail-
able means be used to render them healthful and fit
ter their purpose. Some of our military hospitals are
disgraceful to the scientific character of the country,
and it never fell to our lot to visit any in which
there were not obvious errors that might havebeen
avoided. With respect to the vital importance of fresh
air for the maintenance of life, it would really seem as if
the world were'not to be convinced on this head.— The
Builder.
