The steamship Hermann arrived at this port yes
terday, with two days later intelligence from Eu-
rope, which will be found, in full detail, in to-day
paper.
This news is much Of the same import as that
which we were previously in possession Of The
only difference perceive is, that the great
struggle which we have 50 often predicted as like
" to take place any time, is nearer at hand than
il was In fact, it would seem that terrible
struggle is brewing, in which almost every nation
in Europe cannot possibly help being engaged; and
that it will take place before long, there cannot,
think, be much doubt. The Schleswig IIolsein
difficulty is, we perceive, in fair way OF being
settled; but that cannot affect, except i'll very
mote and mperceptible degree, the general course
of events in Europe. 1t is to the southern part OF
Europe-to Italy, in particular-that we must look
for stirring of stirring events and, If we have
read the stars rightly we shall soon have intelli-
gence from that part of the continent of character
that will confirm all that have previously stated.
In fact the campaign has begun there, as will be
discovered in the details of the news published in
another column and where it will end no one
can tell That it is, however, the beginning of the
end, we think there can be no doubt. That war is
one of Independence and it would seem impossible
that Spain, and other European nations, can keep
out of it, The news by this arrival is Of deep
import.
To all who understand the present condition
Europe, every arrival from there will be of extreme

WAsHIrGror, April 49, 1849.
Mir Benton has received letter from Col Fremont
detailing the dreadful prvatons and msfortunes which
attended his journey the Rocky Mountains.
The accounts already published scarcely come up to
the horrors depicted by Col Fremont.
The number Of deaths it, however not quite 80 large
but it is true that the survivors compelled to
f,ed on tho bodies OF the dead.
Col Fremont throws the whole blame upon the gno-
rance the guide who bore the highest charac
ter and Who had been guide for years for Gov Dodge
but this occasion he became completely bewldered
He took the party by route which should only have
required three days trayelling-but occupied a much
longer time; and through his ignorance careessness,
they had to retrace their steps amid dreadful privs
tions and loss of lifo the guide suffering much Us

When Col. Fremont wrote, they doing well, and
bAvo arrived, no doubt, before this, in California
Col. Benton Is collecting from Fremonts letter an
account which will be at once published. Some of the
details are 80 terrible that he il Obliged TO suppress
them.

Boston, INDUCES itself in very solemn denuncia.
ton of the system of reporting news by Telegraph
This poor journalist begins to feel the humiliation
of no, being able to keep pace with the progress of
the newspaper press in these busy times. Many o.

Express, are now beginning to experience this
pressure. Tclegraphing news is, certainly, avery
expensive business shockingIy expensive. The

| UNCLAIMED DIVIDENDS AND PROPERTY, THE Owy
ERs or WHICH ARE UNKNowN.-By the report o.
the select committee appointed GO to inquire into
| the situation of the funds in the Court of Chan
cery," il appears that an immense amount of pro-
perty, the very existence of which is totally I'M
known to the citizens generally, is locked up in va
rous ways and buried from public knowledge. By
the act Of our Legislature Of April IL, 1913, the
Clerk of the Court of Appeals was required to
transfer the said property to the Chamberlain of
the city and county of New York, and to the treo-
surers Of the several counties. This property, it
appears, is put out on good security, but a great
portion of it belongs to parties unknown, or whose
residence is unknown, or who have forgotten to
claim it. We are of the opinion that the names
and full particulars ought to be published, This
is done in London, where the 60 unclaimed divi-
dends" at the bank can always be examined,
and many orphans and destitute persons find there
Is property due to them of which they had no idea.
The post Office department publishes the list Of
claimed letters, and our State judicial department
ought to publish the list of unclaimed properly,
which Is Of more Importance than letters. This
report comprises a list Of the bonds and mortgages
held us security for this unclaimed property, but
no information about the property itself. II is, in
fact, a very meagre and almost unnelhgible re-
port. More light is wanting in the dark rooms of
our legal administration and Offices Let US have
light.

TIE ApMIN,sTR ALTON AND THE CUBA QUESTION.
We perceive that the Philadelphia North An,ert
an, which Is generally regarded as the organ OF
Mr. Clayton, the Secretary of State, and in whose
columns very oracular and pompous glvings-out OF
the designs and purposes OF the new adnlnlstra-
ton, occasionally appear from the pen OF It's vague
and lncoherent Washington correspondent, comes
out with quite furious article against the agita-
ton Of the great question OF the acquisition OF
Cuba and the annexation OF the Canadas. This
article is composed of strange mixture OF vitu-
pcration, assumption, sense and tustlan The
writer in the North american commits great
blunder, when he supposes that the policy OF any
portion of the Am erican people Is to go to war
with England and Spain, in order to obtain pos
session of Canada and Cuba but it is also entirely
mistaken in supposing that the people OF this
country are opposed to annexation OF contiguous
territory 1t Is quite evident that the annexation
of Cuba in the South, and the annexation of Canada
in the North will be the great issue between the
political parties during the next four years, or TILL
the business be definitely settled. Politicians may
fume and sputter-so-callcd statesmen prate about
the horrors of an extension of great republican
empire but nothing prevent the gradual and
| complete subsection of the whole continent and
the adjacent islands, to the mild and gracious sway
of that system of government under which this
mighty confederacy Of free States has rapidly
advanced in wealth, power and prosperity. In
deed, the North Ame,7can itself, in the very article
TO which we alludc admits all this; and after all
its clustering depreciation, unites quite cordially IN
these common sense American views All 1t
breads is the embarrassment of the new adj
mlnlstraton. Well, let them learn wisdom from
the past and emancipate themselves from the
shackes of party principles, which the spirit of
the age repudiates. Nothing can prevent the pre-
cipitatlon Of this grand question Of Cuba and
Canada upon the political contests of the two
great parties Let the wise observe the signs OF
the times.

SYMPATHETIC REVOLUTIONARY MEETING. We
perceive that arrangements are being made for
getting up great mass meeting of Italians Poles,
IIungarians, Germans, Irishmen and others, to
take into consideration the present condition of
Europe, and adopt such measures may tend to
advance the cause Of democracy in that part Of the
world
We are glad of this. 1t is an excellent move
ment and we are confident that it will be attended
with beneficial results 1t may be thought by
some, that the struggling spirit of democracy in
Europe, could not be assisted by any movement of
the kind proposed in this country far away from
the scene of action but it can and most essen
italy too Ii must be borne in mind that it was
the successful experiment of self government In
America to which all the connections that have
occurred in Europe for upwards of half a century
past, may be traced, including the first French
volution. A few words of sympathy from this
country, al this particular crisis, might strengthen
the ardent, confirm the wavering, and ultimately,
destroy tyranny in every shape on that continent
We live in an age in which mind has greater in
fuence than i, had, and when the discovery is
being made that bayonets and bullets are ineffec-
tual in perpetuating tyranny.

The remarkable increase of the immigration from

In no mean degree, to the strength and moral

While speaking of this subject of immigration, we
must not avoid reiterating our earnes, remon-
STRANGE against the inhumanity of the manner in
which the business of transporting these immigrants
across the ocean has been generally conducted
We have again and again directed public attention
to this matter; and we are happy to acknowledge
that something has been done by our legislatures,
State and federal, to render the transit of mmi-
grants to our shores less dangerous and fatal than
formerly. But great deal yet remains to be done.
