CnnsrL WALsn AoruALLY REmoyrp.

Consul WALSH ACTUALLY REMovED.
Notwithstanding the contradiction, in
several quarters. Of the N. Y. Tribuno's
original statement that Mr.. Robert Walsh
had been elected from the U, S. consul
ship at Paris, it would seem, by the fol-
lowing positive statement, that he is ac-
tually out Of office, or will be as soon as
the edict can reach him. The N. York
Courier of Thursday says: 3D.
We learn that dispatches went for
ward by the last steamer, removing Mr.
Robert Walsh from the Office Of U. s.
Consul at Paris, which he has held for
some eight years past. 1t has always
been point conceded by all parties that
the representatives and agents of the
country abroad should agree substantial
ly, in sentiment and political sympathy
with the government at home. The
present administration, though not dis
posed to insist vigorously upon this safe
rule, with reference to our own domesti,
pulitics, has felt that in the existing state
of opinion in Europe, a Just regard to the
character Of our country requires it 10 b,
enforced so far as the essential princi
pies of republican institutions are con
cerned. Mr.. Walsh, therefore, has beef
removed, mainly because his sentiment
and sympathies, in regard to the strug
giles for popular rights and republican
institutions in Europe, are not an harmO
ny '0itA those Of Gen. Taylor and hi
Cabinet.

EmEUTE IN CnINA.-The affair at Ma
Gao, on the Slh of June, to which refer
ence was made in the foreign news, is
worthy of more particular mention. The
British Naval Commandant in the har-
Dor of Macao, finding that the Portuguese
had thrown into prison Protestant Mis-
sionary, named Summers, for refusing to
uncover his head while a religious pro.
cession was passing, took file of ma
rines ashore and made sudden attack
upon the Jail. killing one ofthe guards.
and wounding three others. They sur
prsed the sentinel, broke open the Jail,
carried off the prisoner, and marched
back to the wharf whence they re.em-
barked to the steamer Canton, which was
surrounded by American boats.

No FLoGGlNG OF WIvEs.-A German
was tried in Railway, N. Y, for an as
sault and battery on his wife. Judge
Green said, that in the history of the
Common law, it was held justifable for a
man to beat his wife with rod not thick
er than his thumb, but in this enlighten-
ed country, it was held thatn no man had a
right to strike lis a0jfe at all. This is
clearly sound doctrine. In marrying a
man swers to protect and cherish his wife
therefore if he strikes her he commits
both perjury and assault and battery.
Certainly, too, a wife should be entitled
to as great protection by the law as a
stranger.
