 The latest arrival from Europe on the Both ut was the packet ship SiIas Richards Additional accounts of the vigorous warke preparations of the Russians and Turks, are received, but mention is made of actual hostilities having been commenced. This sarr- val appears to have been a very fortunate for the consgnees of the cargo of the Sias Richards. Had the packet beenEdeayed until the 1st inst. the add- tional duties this single cargo imposed by the new tariff, which went into operation that day, would have been about fifty thousnd dollars Much anxiety was felt in New York, because of the failure of cer tain vessels with large cargoes, which were expected during the life of the old tariff law and heavy losses were anticipated should they be detained by adverse winds, other causes. A writer in the Danbury Recorder closes notice
  the following appeal:
 "The 4tll-of-J uly-men from other towns are re- ouested to attend as it may be the last Festival they will ever see, especially if GenJackson is made Pres ident."
 This call appears to convey idea that there are certain in every town, distinct from their fellow citizens in their attachment to the customary parapher naa ofa celebration of National Independence; and the writer says that those who have no spirit or n- cnation for such things ought immediately to set a. bout getting one. As the ''spirit'' usually manifest ed on that day is very apty described by New-York editor, we shall transcribe anextractrom his article, for the special benefit of those wish to set about getting" it. At sunrise, the day ustered in with the roaring of cannon and the ringing otbes; while the busy ".note of preparation heard every side Drun kards who had not seen the rise since the last return of this joyous anniversary, were now assembled in great numbers in and about the Park, where line of already presented rich display ot de- canturs rumbottles tumbers cut-glasses and all the other paraphernalia of intempei ance. We need not sav that these sons of freedom exulted che prospect especially when they saw other grog-stands erecting in various directions, and an array o wheebar rows and onehorse wagons, conveying to the spot all that could be desired by the very prince of guz zlers Neither is it necessary 10 recount the various kind of wishes and happy greetings which passed from man to man. as thev regaed themselves in honor of the

As the day advanced numbers began to show their attachment to the soI by signs still less eqvocal-l while others who had reserved their patriotism lit- tle longer continued thirsty until the plus ultra of lime arrived and then prostrated themselves the feet of their country.
 There was no age, sex or color, which did not share in the general joy-especally after guarding themselves against the heat by cooling draught of run: there form of exuatioR which might not be witnessed-trom the rolling of ahoop to the huzza of a rabbie. Here might be seen d group of happy beings listening the braggadocio representations of some t-va,nt hero there, another exulting in the bruises inflicted by mutual wrath ;-and Sonder a third rejoicing in the hope of repenishing their pock cts by petty gambling, lest perchance, for lack oi 70 cents they should G.li of admission the theatre in the evening, or otherwise be unable to blow out the day in style appropriate to the occaslon'"
 Now to very many the coming anniversary will be s'the last they will see," whether Gen. Jackson is elected or not; and we doubt very much whether scenes like the above described have any tendency to prepare them to change this world for hetter.- It is to be feared, however that Gen. Jacksons eec tion-should it actually take pacc,-wouid not put check to such scenes of riot and conision but that on the other hand it would open source to the more general patronage of that vice, which receives its greatest supper, from such celebrations.
 One of the charges brought against Mir. Adams by J. M Niles & Go. in their late Jackson Address, is, that he has broken down former political parties. The head and front of his offence in this particular is that on assuming the duties othe high and respon- sbe station which he now fills, he declared himself 10 be the"Presdent ofthe United States," instead of one particular party in the same. Upon this liberal and honest principle he has acted, and for this duct he deserves he receives the support of every real friend the peace and prosperity of his country There is something peculiarly dark and suspicious in the character of politician who is unwilling that honesty and capabty should be the steppngsto to office, and whose continuous cry is "pary-party- support the party,-as though the whole body of the people bore not an equal share of the burdens and had not an equal righto partake in the emoIumeuts, ofthe government. Why of6ce-seekers un- willing to trust their in the hands of the people, uushackled'by the ntrgues and management of party discipline? Will their character for worth and ca pability bear investigation Really their conduc,cre ates an honest suspicion that it would not. Why are they very anxious that elections should take place without any regard the worth off the candidate, but
