ARRIVAL OF PAcKET-sHIPs.-Mortal on
Board, 8c-A fleet Of several of the magnifi-
cent packetshps, from London and Liverpool,
have come into New York since Saturday last,
all Of them bringing valuable cargoes, and large
numbers of immigrants, some of whom seem to
have been severely affected with the ship fever.
The Express says:
"The Princeton, Captain Russell, from Liver
pool, brings 44l in the Storage the Guy Man
nering from the same port, the enormous num-
Der of TIL; and the Isaac Wright, also from
Liverpool, 48l. None of these fine ships--al
New York packets---have had any sickness on
their respective voyages to speak of; but the
ship Shannon mot packet comes into port
but little better than floating coffin. There
were forty deaths during the voyage from ship
fever, and there are now between twenty and
thirty sent to the hospital. Among the dead
on board the Shannon is her chief officer, James
Sloan. The ship has had continual westerly
gales the whole passage.
The public at New York are beginning to be
frightened little at this extensive importation
of death and disease, especially as warm weather
approaches A New York letter says:
Smallpox prevails to very great extent at
the Staten Island Hospitals, ] am told. The Com
missioners of immigration have kind of depot
at the foot Of Canal street. There, too, it is
said the disease prevails to such an extent ms to
excite the fears of the community. Efforts are
making to have the nuisance removed

New ORLEANS AND JENNY LISD.--The New
Orleans Delta states that not less than thirty
thousand strangers have been attracted to TINT
city to hear Jenny Lind, and her success has
been beyond parallel. The tickets for each con-

fault finding about prices. Among the strangers
in New Orleans, the Delta states that 1000
would be small estimate Of the number from

PROFESSOR AeAssIz gave lecture at Key
West, on the 2lst ultimo, having for his subject
the Florida Reef and its builder, the coral in
sect, of which correspondent of the Savannah
Republican gives the following account:
"He set ont with stating his opinion that the
pennsuar of Florida was made by this little
workman, and then, with illustrations on the
black board, described its physiology There
are, he said, different races of coral some of
which lay the foundation Of the reef in deep
water, build up to certain height, and die.
These are succeeded by another race, who build
up another step, and are followed by other races,
until the edifce reaches to near the surface Of
the water, when the little mason is funcius off,
clio, and leaves his labors to be crowned by other
agencies of nature When this work is done,
deposites from the sea are made upon the rock,
which finally extend above the surface of the
water, and become terra frma. He thinks the
peninsular is but an extension of reef after reef,
the first being the construction Of the coral in
sect, then becoming reefs or islands, and the in
tervas between these being filled up in time by
debris from the sea, all together form the main
land If this theory be true, we may conclude
that the wrecking business will last so long as
the coral exists. Lighthouses and beacons
may warn the mariner from some of the dangers
that lie in his path but he has little foe who
is continually piling up stumbling blocks in his
way, and laying snares in the track where he be-
lieved all was blue water and security"

6enatorial Elections

The bill to elect, by joint ballot, a senator for
New York in place Of Hon. DANIEL; .DIcKIN-
son, has been defeated; and it is now probable
there will be no election during the present ses-
son Of the legislature. The consequence must
be, that much agitation will pervade the State
until the next election of the Legislature. The
indications are, that the senatorial election of
Massachusetts, will also be defeated. That of
Ohio has already been. The difficulty in all
these cases has been the slavery question and
u large majority in one house in all of them,
were in favor of electing Free-soil senators, and
were defeated by the opposition Of very small
majority in the other. II the election could
have taken place in all these States, by joint
ballot Of both houses, Free-soil senators would
have been elected in all. Hence the slavery
question becomes q topic of agitation in these
three large States, and the antislavery party has
the advantage Of identifying itself with the pop
ular principle Of the right of the majority which
it will be commended has been frustrated in the
Legislatures.
It is impossible that three such large States,
extending from Nantucket to the Wabash, can
be agitated without disturbing their neighbors,
being as they are the great centres of commerce
and manufactures. But there is one element of
the agitation now wanting, that existed before.
They have secured the new territory-and they
now lack prize of great value to contend for,
and to enlist the cupidty and ambition of their
people. A great effort, however, will be made,

PRICES OF ADMISSION TO THE WORLDS FAIR
The Royal commissioners have determined to
adopt the following scale of prices to be charged
to visisers to the Crystal Palace in London
The price of season ticket, to admit gentle
man, will be three guineAs !; and season ticket
for lady, two guineas. Such tickets will not
be transferable; and on the first day of the ex-
hibition those tickets only will be received at
the door. The commissioners reserve the right
of raising the price Of the season tickets when
the first issue is nll sold. The price of each
ticket on the second and third days of the ex-
hibition VIII be twenty shillings, and on the
fourth day, and for the seventeen following DAYS,
five shillings each day. After the first three
weeks the charge for each single ticket will be
one shilling with the exception Of Fridays and
Saturdays of each following week, when on
Fridays the charge will be half-a-crown, and on
Saturdays five shillings, till the exhibition il
closed. With the single exception Of season
ticket, no ticket will admit any person second
time. These rates Of charges, London letter
says have given general satisfaction to all classes
II il understood that the exhibitors will be OBJ
liged to purchase tickets, and that only their
servants will be allowed to enter the crystal
palace gratis II is also said that there will not
be any complimentary, or Stree list" and that

foul attack upon Judge Hitchcock aud

orally understood at that time that he
had made all ass of himself and was
excused by his friends upon the ground
of drunkenness. We suppose his subse'
ouen, radical course warmed him into the
affections of his party and Gov. Wood
was persuaded to appoint him Attorney
General.
Since his appointment, we see by gu.
exchanges, that he has beenin the Queer
