AT last, summer has come with a vengeance |!
Broadway is in a blaze. The omnibus horses are
dropping at every corner. Men, hardened in all
the hypocrisies and iniquities OF world lying in
wickedness, are now all in " the melting mood I"
Tossing and tumbling, and groaning and grumbling
the luxurious jewellers in the palaces up town in
vain seek mouthful Of air. Down town the poor
devils Of all classes obliged work for their bread
grin and bear it as best they may. 1t is hot Penn
sylvania avenue is sometimes rather tropical, but
assure you have never felt the heat in that mag
nifcent stree, as | feel it to-day in this city of
Gotham. The thermometer is at $50 in the shade /!
just think Of it And then compassionate your
poor correspondent, who is really left to-day with
out an item of interest
THE CRIMINAL COURTS.
Jones, the negro who was condemned to suffer
death for the crime Of arson, has had his sentence
commuted to imprisonment for life.
Wood, convicted of poisoning his wife, has had
respite I'LL the 10th Of July next 1t is likely that
his sentence also will be committed.
Bggs, tried for sending threatening letters to Mr..
Asior, was convicted to-day.
rELEoRAPHIc LINES.
A great deal Of interest has been felt here in the
Geographic movements out west. The success Of
O'Reilly in the lawsuit against Morse, has been
gratifying to all Of as here, who are interested in
the development Of this great agent of modern
civilization. All must accord TO Professor Morse
the highest honor in connection with the electric
telegraph but competition is the life and health of
all enterprises, and therefore cordially wish sue
cess alike to Morse, Balm, House, and all others
who may enter this field Of effort.
HoNoRs TO THE MEMORY OF Ex-PnEsIDENT POLK.

Sun newspaper, for the last few days, studying
the operation of new. yentilator which has been
put up in that establishment II is a sort of fan on
gigantic scale, moved by the steam press in the
vaults beneath the office, and answers the purpose
very well.
THE HoLERA
There is decrease in the number of cases re-
ported to-day; twenty-six cases, fourteen deaths.
ESCAPED FROM STATE PRISON.
Honora Sheppard, notorious offender, and
quite celebrated heroine in the annals of crime,
has made her escape from the State Prison at Sing
Sing, to which she had been sent for passing coun-
terfet bank bills. This parsonage was the cher
ished object for some time, of the tender sympa-
thies of sundry benevolent ladies in this city, on
whom she imposed to great extent She is a wo-
man of singular ingenuity and address, and one of
the most expert associates which counterfeiters
have ever found in this country.

- The Revue DIES Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose Of establishing intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men Of Europe and America. II is
proposed in this collection 10 give a prominent
place 10 the affairs of the American Union, TO the
abors Of its politicians, and 10 the Literary and
Scientific publications OF its Authors. The Revue
DIES Deux Mondes now makes public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending TO IT,
through Mr.. Putnam, of New York, copy of each
Of their publications. The Revue is in better DO
sition than any other organ in Europe TO serve as
an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World which has as Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of France. Many Of its contributors have visited
North and South America and IL still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.

signed by the first names Of France contains, under
the title Of p" Chronique de Ia Quinzane," histor-
cal summary Of the principal events of the political

vTvHE MAIL STEAMER FALCON, FOR
il CHAGRES.--The owners will dispatch this
fine steamer with the Government Mails for Cha
gres, via Havana and New Orleans, on the 2Sth
June, instant
On the last voyage two or more persons who en-
barked at this port evidently for sinister purposes,
were the cause Of some difficulty and delay at Ha-
vana. To guard against any similar occurrence in
future, the ship will proceed on each trip to CHA
GRES, and return thence via New Orleans.
On her last return voyage she made shorter time
than had ever before been known, having reached
this port from Havana in less than four and half
days.
For speed, safety. and excellent accommodations
the Falcon is unsurpassed by any steamer ahoat.
This conveyance offers the most desirable medium
of communication with the Isthmus of Panama
Passengers at a distance are recommended to
make early application for state rooms.

whose auspices Constituent Assembly, elected by
universal suffrage, will be convoked, which will have
to be determined whether the Roman Government
is TO be Republic or Monarchy, and whether the
Pope is to be recalled and upon what terms. There
can be no doubt that assembly, chosen under
French protection, will adopt French views. From
the accounts received from Gseta, IL would appear
that there is still very great doubt II the Pope will
consent to return under French influence TO Rome
on any conditions whatsoever and that II IN certain
he will not consent on any conditions which imply
a curtailmcnt Of his temporal powers.
