~ DEMocRArtc HARMONY,
Notwithstanding all the desperate efforts TO fra
lernize, the harmonious Democracy appear TO be
as far off union The general committee in
this city have refused TO Join IN the movement TO
send delegates TO Rome; and the "Barnburners'
are now busily engaged in getting up meetings in
the various wards Independent OF the regular or
ganization. Tuesday evening the delegates are
TO be selected and is very likely that of the
wards will send representatives. But II will not
be regular representation Of the party, and the
movement will thus be shorn of all moral influence
or party effect There is not the slightest pr aspect
of union throughout the Stale. la this city il liz
quite likely the Democrats may JOIN their forces in
order To make desperate effort TO obtain the reins
of the local government Their new paper THE
Gil be and Democratic Union," has dreadfuly hard
work to make both ends meet, and Il is really mys-
FERROUS how it manages TO maintain existence al
ALL
DECREASE OF THE CHOLERA.
There ca be no doubt Of the decrease of the
cholera. As compared with the reports Of the
corresponding days of last week, those of the
last four Of the present week exhibit decrease Of
two hundred and thirty-six cases and one hum
dred and four deaths by this disease.
FoR EUROPE.
The Europa sailed yesterday for Liverpool
with nineiy-two passengers, among whom is Mr..
Thomas Pacide, who goes out 10 England in order
to engage artists for the new theatre at New Or
leans, process of erection for him by an associa-
ton of patrons Of the dramatic profession in that
metropolis. laughable incident occurred as the
steamship was just gliding from the wharf A pas
senger, German, was minute too late, for the
plank had just been Withdrawn. But he had con-
6dence in his own agility, and he was stimulated
by the fear Of being left behind. He leaped, but
not upon the deck Of the vessel. With some diff
Guilty he was got out Of the dock, shiyerng and
dripping, the noble steamer having meanwhile
proce ded a mile or two on her voyage.
DR.. vAcHE.
rumor that this benevolent and accomplished
physician, who has had charge of the William
street cholera hospital had himself been attacked
last evening by the disease, produced painful SEN
sation. The doctor, worn down by his excessive
abors, had been seized with prosrating diarrhea.
This morning he is, am happy to say. much BET
ter, and will, hope, soon be completely restored
to health
ALARMING INCIDENT.
An immense mass Of rock weighing nearly five
tons, fell from the top Of the tunnel ofthe Harlem
railroad at Yorkvile yesterday 1t was fortunately
discovered and removed before any accident could
occur. II fell few minutes after one Of the trains
had passed!
''NED BUNTLNE."
The individual who is known in various quarters
by this sobriguet and who indicted for partci-
pating in the Aston Place riot has been surrendered
by his bail, and is now in ''the Tombs."
THE LATE COLLECTOR.
| Resolutions Of highly complimentary character
| have been adopted by the Chamber of Commerce,
| expressive of the appreciation of the conduct of
Mr.. Lawrence, the late collector of this port. Mr..
Maxwell, the present collector, took occasion to
convey to the chamber his sense of the valuable
aid which his predecessor had rendered him in the
most courteous manner
THE INMATES THE BLIND ASYLUM
have all gone in body TO spend the vacation at
the pleasant village of Woodville, where they will
remain till the epidemic disappears from this city,
which Heaven grant may be ere many days.
THE JERSEY CITY RIOT
has excited great deal more angry feeling than
you could have imagined. Some alteration has
taken place between the authorities of the two
cities and thus has added to the flame. How un-
wise and unpatriotic, II is proper to state that the
"Kelly Guards" arc not regularly organized vol
unteer company. Ii is only one of those voluntary
military companies which meet drill, parade, and
go target excursions without any charter or legal
sanction, most Of their members being mere boys.
These associations have been increasing Of late,
and are very dangerous to the public peace. They
should be put down.

era came forward upon the portico Of the hotel.
He thanked the people for their reception; il was
warm, kindly, and cordially extended; and he had
to regret that not in his power present to
see more Of them. On his return from the North
he promised himself and his friends longer stay
in the Monumental city He referred to the pre-
walking epidemic; excitement, he thought, and the
commotion of large assembages, tended to sick
ness and he therefore desired TO pursue his jour
ney, as much as possible IN quiet and without dis
play. With these brief remarks, delivered in his
earnest, unaffected manner, the General retired
within, and the crowd dispersed, cheering him en-
Enthusiastically. During the rest of the evening he
saw and conversed with several Of our prominent
citizens; though The calls were not general il being
understood that he was fatigued from the journey
and desired rest This morning, few moments
before nine O'Clock, he went down, in company
with DIR. Wood of the United States army, to the
Baltimore and Susquehsnns railroad depot, and

for a becoming reception
