arrived off the harbor last night, but was de-

pool Sunday noon, and sailed on her return II
, p. NJ.
The sudden and violent death Of Sir Rob-
ert Peel caused great sensation in England
and France. The English papers are filled,
almost to the exclusion of everything else,
with extended notices of the life and char
acter of the late Premier and with specua-
tions as to the effect his death will have upon
the politics of his country. The particulars
are thus stated. On Saturday evening,
June %, while proceeding from his residence
in Whitehall up Constitution Hill, his horse
suddenly shied at something passing, kicked
up his heels and threw Sir Robert over his
head on his face.
Although rendered insensible by the fall,
Sir Robert retained hold Of the reins, and the
animal being thus checked, lost his footing
and feel heavily upon the top of the Baronet.
Several gentlemen passing rendered the nee
essary assistance, and the Ex-Premie- was
placed in a carriage, and removed to his house
in Whitehall in a state of insensibility. All
the medical talent af London was soon at his
disposal. Their united efforts were unavail-
ing. After lingering till i o'clock on Tues
day night, the great statesman expired, in the
63d year of his age.
Louis Philippe Is said to be dying of a can
Ger IN the Stomach, and his relations state his
life can scarcely last month longer.

4 GREAT SwEEP.-On Saturday the Sixth
Ward Police made one hundred and sixteen
arrests! OF these forty-nine were vagrant
women, and fly four (thirty-six men and
eighteen women) were keepers Of houses OF

the ugIiest portion of Orange St, and from the
corner of Gross and little wa'er sts., opposite
the Old Brewery, come sounds Of prayer and
praise, and words of Christian exhortatlon,
kindness and hope. 4 few weeks ago these
places and the neighborhood for blocks around
were vocal with blasphemy and ohscenity,
sufficient to shock the moral sensibiliiy of ~
baddon. We trust the good work of reforma-

President Fillmore.

The character and sentiments of the new
President are sufficiently well known in this
locality. We need say nothing to add
to the confidence universally felt in his pat
riotism. Millard Fillmore is a man in whom
unlimited confidence may be reposed. He
has always proved himself equal to the dis
charge of every duty devolved upon him by the
public. His abilities are Of high order; his
experience in public affairs has been large !;
his knowledge of the public men of the coun-
try is intimate and extensive. He has always
been distinguished for openness and candor
as public man, and the directness Of purpose.
4 distinguished Southern Senator lately said
in private conversation with gentleman who
gave US the information, ' We meaning
the senators of the south, greatly respect
the Yice-President; he has no conceaIments.
Where he differs from US, we know it; he is
frank in the expression of his opinion on pol
itical subjects, and he adheres to them with
calmness, yet firmly, and we respect him for
these qualities.' Mr. Fillmore never acted
or symPathized with the intriguing poiti-
clans Of the State or country. He is rot on
ly direct Of purpose, but of a clear head
Moreover he is a national politician; is an
ardent friend of the Union, aud the fanatics
of the north or the South, who would destroy
or endanger the existence of this Union, have
no opponent more resolute, determined, and
uncompromising than Millard FillmoIe.-N
