Gunor.-Letters from Southampton, of July
20, state that the previous day the ex-minister
of Louis Philippe landed at Havre on his way to
his estate a, Lisieux. He was assailed, on land
ing by the hootings and hissings of the whole
population; and although Havre is far from being
what is termed republican in feeling, it is quite
evident that the regime under which the ex-minster
placed his country is not forgotten.

The Locofoco nomination Of the Legislative

of the abors of Hercules. There were but five
pair of vacant slippers, but there were some forty
fifty pair of feet that fitted them eraotiy Out Of

modated, hence the difficulty. The nomination, as

ton Of the party, but that is nothing-before the
day Of election every man Of them will be either
whipped into the traces, or else driven from the
party. These Democratic dissensons, unlike
Wing dissensions rarely carried to the ballot.

taken us all aback-Whigs and Democrats. We
looked for hard and doubtful contest, but not so

when the cause comes to be known, il is that the
Wings, confident Of success stayed al home-that is,
large portion of them. They generally get beaten
by being away from the field
Encouraged by the remarkable exemption from
cholera which has thus far attended Baltimore, the
citizens last night in most Of the wards, met and
appointed committees to raise funds to be appropri-
ated to the cleanliness and publication Of the
city-hoping, and with much reason, that contin-
uation Of well-directed efforts will keep us free
from the fatal scourge altogether. May il be so.
Nearly three days have elapsed, and no case or
death Of cholera has occurred at the alms-house.
