England.

The cholera was on the increase both n,
the London district and in the provinces. 3,
well as in Scotland. The total number 90
cases from the firstswas 6,5e6, of which
94S had died and ,249 recovered-leaying
2,S19 under treatment. II broke out wi,S
fresh violence among the pauper children of
London.
The California fever ragged in England
quite as violently as 1t has done here. Great
numbers of vessels were up for the gold re-
gion-some carrying passengers to Chagres,
others TO Galveston, &C.; rates ranging from
f25 upwards. All SORTS of schemes for
raising companies and capital are adverti-
zed. One of the companies alone proposes
to raise capital of 100000, reserving
half TO be taken in the United States. The
Times cautions the public against these
schemes, many OF which are mere swindles.
Ireland.
Our Irish news continues to be, as during
many weeks past, of the same monotonous
character. Government prosecutions, the
grievances OF the poor law, the miseries of
the farmers driven to. emigration, in their
last struggles to keep their encountered es-
tates, aggravated by the spread of incen-
diarIsm IN some of the northern counties.
together with some faint indication of the
revival of the Repeal Association by Mr..
John O'Connell, furnish almost the only
theme available for the Irish journals.
Germany.
At sitting of the Frankfort Assembly
resolution was adopted on the 2Sth declaring
that the Head of the Empire should be
German prince.
Austria refuses to pay the second quar-
ter's instalment for the German fleet.

test against the violation of the armstce

PROsCRIpTIoN.

The administration, so far, has been any
thing but proscriptive few clerks in the
departments ana some postmasters have been
removed and no man Of common sense
could have supposed that there would be no
changes made. And these removals have
caused the Union to moan and groan, and to
rave at the administration for its use of the
guillotine and the axe. Were the admins
traton to stop in its course Of removals at
the present point, il would not come up to
public expectation, or fulfil public desire.
Many Of the most conspicuous deinquents
still hold Office; and the hope is entertained
that there will be thorough publication.
Gen. Taylor, il pledged against prescription
for mere difference of opinion, is also pledged
to fill the public Offices with men who will
faithfully and honestly perform the duties FOL
which they are paid The rant Of the Union
and kindred prints should not deter the adj
mnistration from doing its whole duty. 1t
is the business Of such papers to complain
and to villify, and ii would be a vain task tc

The papers all over the country have had
something to say about this gentleman We
doubt not thai those who anticipated weav-
ing political capital for locofocoism out o.
their attacks upon him are heartily sorry for
having engaged in the business. Their OBJ
ject has been counteracted. They are dis
appointed. Their darling desires have been
defeated. Areaction in favor Of Col. War

They feel it. II is for this they are sorry
They have made the man they would have
destroyed, stand out the most prominent OF
all, with the consciousness on their part that

made against him have been even partially

its co-partners indetraction, have benefited
not injured him. No dishonor, such as they
had bespoke and anticipated, attaches to the
character Of Fitz Henry Warren. Locofo.

NO PRESCRIPTION.

We have repeatedly asked those who de-
claim that the New Administration is Pro-
scriptive TO tell us what, in their Judgment,
il ought to do in the premises, but as yet we
can extort no answer. Gentlemen, why not
tell US what, according to your views would
be just noa-P roscriptve policy DO you
think it would Be such TO continue in office
the great mass Of the present incumbents p
that is to say, to allow the party which has
had an almost uninterrupted monopoly Of the
desirable offices for twenty years to continue
il for an indefinite future period, although
the sceptre has departed from their hands I
When they are uppermost they seize every
thing as natural right; when they 60
down, we are asked TO allow them to keep
almost everything until they get up again,
when they will take the little which they
have lost meantime by death or resignation
Who does not see that this is not Proscrib-
ing but rewarding Prescription saying
to the young men Of the country, If you
ever hope or wish to have chance to fill a
public station, you must act with the Loco
Foco party for they are to have the Offices
whether In the ascendant or not" Did
any sane man ever expect this, or under
stand Gen. Taylor as pledged to it
For our own part, we are most anxious to
come to an understanding now and have the
matter settled on right basis. We loathe
the idea Of having all the Postmasters, Tide
walters, sc. in the country changed when
ever there is political overturn in the
country. But show US the just and practi-
cable remedy. Stop your absurd whining
and groaning against Prescription you
would be very glad to practice, and tell us
how it may be fairly dispensed with. We
are ready to consider and concur in any
equal proposition. Where is til What
now seems to US most practicable as partial
corrective is the e'ection Of postmasters by

system. So Of Marshals, District Attor-
