ATRocITY OF DEsPoTIsM.-Can anything be
imagined more atrocious than the bloodthirsty
proclamation of Haynau, the Austrian commander
ln-chief, which we published yesterday among the
details of the late European news! This monster
"dooms" to death all ages, sexes and conditions
who give the slightest aid to the revolutionary move
ment. Neither tender women nor decrepid age,
nor the smiling infant, are to be spared. Thank
heaven, the power Of the despot whom this ac-
cursed wretch serves, is not commensurate with
his will. Why-why do the government and peo-
pie of the United States continue unmoved at the
sight of this awful struggle between the people
and the tyrant! Shame on the great city of New
York. that it has not long since taken the lead in
sympathetic movement!

Hughes, GENES out with true ecclesiastical ferocity
against the contemplated revolution in Cuba. II
eongratulates the country IN the possession Of a
cabinet at Washington which is resolutely "oppos-
cd TO all Jacobns and radicals" This is quite
characteristic of Bishop Hughes. During all the
revolutionary movements in Europe, this Catholic
dignitsry has been zealousy engaged in denounc-
ing the popular cause, and siding with the tyrant
and despot. Yet he calls himself a representative
Of the Catholics Of the United States There
could not be grosser calumny upon the character
Of that body Of our people than such an ASSUME
zion on the part Of Bishop Hughes. The Catholics
Of the United States are TO a man the enthusiastic
friends Of liberty and republcansm, which are one
and the same thing. They sympathisc most cor

either they have had servants incompetent or ne
glectful, or they have bad piers and worse boats
for the accommodation Of the public, from whom
they reap so rich harvest of gain. Let them take
which horn of the dilemma they please, they are
impaled, and so are the Jury upon the other one.
We are informed that about 5000 regular com
maters cross the Fulton ferry daily, which, with
the casual customers are estimated at 10000 daily
besides the very large number of vehicles con-
nually passing between the two cities, so that the
receipts must amount to abont $500 per day, or
1912 800 per annum. Surely this enormous sum of
money ought TO procure safe transit for passengers,
instead Of insecurity, danger, and death. Had
the accident occurred in daylight, when passen-
gers are more numerous, and they crowd the for
ward part of the boat, especially as it approaches
the slip, there is no calculating the loss of life
which might have taken place.
But the evil Island it lies at the bottom Of all
the Encouragement, and all the disregard Of the
public Interests-that a monopoly has been given
by our Corporation, and the monopolsts snap their
their fingers IN the face of the people. Yet they
are "penny wise and pound foolish" BY taking
care to provide proper officers for their boats, and
by building the piers and boats of the requisite
strength, and by making other necessary arrange
ments for the safety of the passengers, these
dents would not be continually occurring, by which
they suffer more than they imagine in their
pockets--that part of them in which there Is most
feeling AS we said before, many people will be
deferred from crossing, particularly ladies, and the
company will thus pay the penalty of its false par
slmony or criminal neglect.
If such an accident as this can happen at the
Fulton ferry, where it is boosted the best and new
est boats run, and all the arrangements are the
most perfect, what shall be said or thought of the
South ferry, belonging to the same company
upon which are placed the old cast-of boats, con-
sdered no longer fit for use at the Fulton The
Hamilton avenue boats, in particular, are unfit for
any decent person to sit in, much less ladies'. Upon
a recent occasion, adverted to the inconvenient
arrangements of the South ferry-thc early hour Of
the night at which they to run, and the long
interval between the times of running, for two or
three hours, before they stop. In fact, the pub
lie voice demands thorough reform of these fer
ries, and the only way to accomplish that is to
break down the monopoly, and create little
wholesome competition. The starting of two or
three new cent ferries would do the business, and
cent would amply pay; for, like cheap postage, or
the three cent omnibuses at Philadelphia, the GUS
tom would be 80 increased that both the public and
the companies would be benefited by the change.

This great affair came of last evening, with dis
tinguished tclat The display must have been quite
overwhelming 1t is probable that this ball involved
m expenditure of at least fifty thousand dollars,
IN tickets, fancy costumes, rouge, chalk, lace,
tlnsel and jewelry-whilst the valuation of the
wit, humor, elegance, grace, beauty, and virtue
which the occasion called forth, is beyond all
powers of mortal arithmetic. Our full report of
this magnificent ball will appear on Monday.
