The English News.
We publish in this days paper our usual full and
comprehensive digest Of the intelligence brought by
the steamship Caledonia, at Boston. The news
does present many topics ofveyy exciting inter-
est bu, it is, in several points of view, important.
The government organs OF France and Great
Britain have been skirmishing with considerable
acrimony, relative to the operations Of the former
power in Algeria. Ii is certainly amusing to observe
the outburss Of heightened morality, on the part of
the British organs, with respect TO the iniquty Of
seizing upon foreign territories. 1t will certainly
be hard work for France to establish her dominion
permanently in the north Of Africa But there IL
little doubt ofiis fina accomplishment After taking
their ports, the French will drive the Moslem hosts
TO the mountains, and their ultimate surrender must
be inevitable. To the influence which this war is
destined to exercise on the progress and triumphs
Of christian civilization, we can at present make
merely passing aIluslon. II is interesting, how
ever, to mark the manner in which the restless
jealousy of England is manifested towards the pre-
sent operations Of herpowerful neighbor There is
no knowing what disturbance this war in Africa
may yet produce in Europe.
ElIn England, the popular excitement relative to
tine disclosures connected with Mr.. Mazzinl's let-
ters and the conduct Of some Of the Post Office
officials, continues and is operating with very
siderable effect against the ministry. Those ever
lasting sources Of discoutent-thc poor-laws-were
also the subject of good deal Of popular camor
The difficulties which environ the ministry were
by no means decreasing, and we do think that
change must soon take place. Sir Robert Peel
with his arseeng sagacity, is aware of the strength
OF the popular elements OF discomfort, and knows
to what they must one day lead. He would make
concessions, if he dare, to the manufacturing IN
terests, but the landed aristocracy have the rule
over him, and hence his struggles and his peculiar
difficulties. But nothing can avert the revolution
which is slowly but surely approaching in Great
Britain. The oppressors must be brought low,
and the people will We, be free.
The arguments in the case Of OConnell were
progressing IN the House Of Lords 1t is not likely
that they will be closed until near the adjournment
Of the House for the session. O'Connell will be
brough, up on writ Of habeds corpus, and be dis
charged on his own securities, with the bail, per.
haps, enlarged.
The accouchement Their Majesty has not, itwould
appear, been announced with the usual degree Of
precision, for that auspcious event had not taken
place. although its occurrence had been expected
in the beginning Of July. However, the next
steamer will, we suppose, bring US that news, with
other intelligence Of still greater interest to the
soveregns of the United States.
WHAT NEXT ACUTE fatigued with abusing Mr.
Folks grandfather, the Wing parfylpress are now
very busy grubbing out old bills OF expenditure for
the furniture of the House Of Representatives du-
ring Mr.. Folks Speakershp, in order to convict him
Of extravaganza! 1t is certainly very amusing to
hear the rotten, broken down, whig Goldfish sris-
tocracy Of Wall street talk aboutrepublican simp-
city, and the enormity of purchasing a few yards
Of satin damask and four pair Of crimson silk tas-
ses, for the chair Of the Speaker of the House
And what has all this to do with Mr.. Polk 4? The
Commercial indeed, admits that perhaps isnot fair
to tax him with the extravaganza, but adds that
somebody did it, and therefore Mr. Polk has as
good right to be abused as any other person
This is something like the Co,rier's argument to
prove Mr.. Polk duellist. Out upon such miscra-
Bile, contemplate, petty party malignity.
The FLoops IN THE WEsr.-Who of our New
York merchant princes intends to take the lead in
the noble work OF rendering assistance to the sui
ferers by the late Mississippi floods? The destruc-
ton OF property has been mmense-incalcuable
and the individual instances of heart-rendng sui.
terlng and distress are innumerabe. This has
been one of the greatest calamties that have ever
visited any portion of the Union. The losses by
the great fire in New York, immense as they were,
cannot be compared with those sustained in the
west by these terrible floods. Who will move in
the matter! The ives: is calling upon us for aid
VIII its cry be disregarded We are sure it will
all 81
| some one take the lead at once.
Polly BopINE ON AN EXCURSION. Monday
next this unfortunate woman will quit her dreary
| abode al Richmond Court House, Staten Island on
a trip up the North river TO Albany She will be
attended by the Sheriff OF he county of Richmond
who accompanies her in order that she may be pre-
sent on Tuesday morning before the Supreme Cour
during the argument Of David Graham and Clintor
Dewitt. Esqs., on motion for change of venu,
IN her case to some other county than Richmond
We will here merely state that the rumors in circu
stlon relative 10 her peculiar situation' are en-
tlreIy unfounded Her presence at Albany pend
ing the argument before the Supreme Court is no
absolutely necessary, but having the privilege, she
preferred II, which is sufficient to show that the
representations made relative to her are withou
| credence.
| RESTORATION OF DaowSED PERsoNs.-A com
| mon house fly that has been drowned for an hou
in water can be restored to life in very few mo
ments by being covered with spoonful Of com
mon table salt. Any person who tests this expert
| ment will be fully satisfied with it's results.
The philosophy Of this application we are unac
quainted with, but believe that experiment upol
a recently drowned body by friction with salt
would be attended with success. Let it be testet
In the next case that transpiics in our city.
