New York Correspondence.
EpIToR OF THE REGISTERS:

The aspect of European affairs is
daily becoming more complicated. France
is still agitated, and further arrests have been
made, The editor of one of the Govern
mcnt newspapers has been imprisoned for
nine months, and his paper has been sus
pended, for commenting on the expulsion Of
foreigners from the country. 1t is asserted,
that GOO refugees, mostly Germans and ltal.
ians, are under the espionage of the Partisan
police, and will be expelled, as too dangerous
| to remain in Paris.
| il appears, also, that Austria is So Jealous
OF the recent commercial Treaty between
Hanover and Prussia, that every effort is
being made 10 induce Bavaria, Wuriemburg
and Saxony, 10 secede from the Customs
League (Zollvcrcin), while Prussia is COS
quoting with Brunswick, Ollcnburg and
Mecklenburg, to induce them to join.
The German Diet is, on tho authority OF
the Hamburg correspondent of Brussels
paper, charged with designs of supprcssing
| the independence Of the Hanse towns, Ham.
burg Bremen, and Lubbock, and the incor,
poraiion of them with their larger and more
potent neighbors.
Joined with all these circumstances. We
have rumors Of aggression by Russia on tho
territories Of Persia, lying on the South Of
the Caspian Sea-. This il true, will excite
She alarm of England, and. it porscvcrcd in,
will result in hosihtics between tho Bull and
the Bear, far more important than were ever
wneed by the so-callcd bpcds Of Wall ST.
An Ambassador has just arrived in Eng
land from the Persian Government This
is important, when taken in connection
with the rumored aggrcssions OF Russia, in
that quarter.
The failure Of Austria TO contract nnotb.
or loan is significant and the presence of
Mr.. Temple, the British Ambassador At Ma,
Piles, being suddenly required in London
by his brother, Lord Palmers,on, on impor.
tant business" bodies nothing favorable to The
cause of the monster who rules that fair land
with such fearful severity.
In fact, the state Of political affairs in Eu>
rope has evidently reached q climax which
must apparently terminate in a great oxplo>
sion Let us only hope that the friends Of
human freedom may not again be disap>
pointed.
Everything is apparently so quiet at press
cnt, in the Locofoco camp, that a spectator,
judging from the surface OF things, would
say, that all questions Of difference had been
laid aside. But this is no. So The State
Ticket is not liked by many influential men
among the Hunkcrs, and this feeling will 20
on increasing daily, until the election, when
it will be sufficiently largo TO crush the obs
noxous nominees. A great many Of the
would>be leaders of the Locofoco party are
trying 20 keep the ticket together but when
such men as Cutting, Sickles, Morris and
others hang back, and cannot be brought to
talk openly" there must be something 90
ing on which will not bear the public gaze.
The long talked Of, long looked-for, Dem
ocratic Ratification Meeting came off, at
Tammany Hall, the night before last. All
was quiet, and the Democracy were as So
ciable as doves. On the stand, were the
most opposite clements Dan Sicklcs and
Lorenzo b. Sheppard; Isaiah Ryndcrs and
John Cochranc Tom Carr and Elijah Pur-
dy; all fraicrnizing together "ior the noncc."
But spite Of all this, it was not, rs was re-
marked with a sigh BY siaunch old Loco-
foco standing near me, one of those old fash
toned, uproarious, soul inspiring meetings,
which used 10 put courage in The hearts of
| the Democracy, in times gone by. 1t was
what craftsman would call put up -
nfiair. There was loud cheering, now and
then, but it had no bottom; it sounded us if
it proceeded from empty stonachs The
fact is, the leaders may come before the
public, and pretend that they acquicsce in
the nominations, as much as they please
| but the ticket will not receive undivided sup
port. The very men who shouted the loud
est from that stand were the very men who
at heart arc resolved TO kill the ticket. Why
the very fact of John Cochrane supporting
a ticket is enough to take from it 5000 votes
in New York city alone. This meeting wa:
pleasant affair; it was sociable, harmonious
and all that sort of thing; and was quite a.
entertaining rs an evening seat Il, the Bow
cry Theatre. But the Democracy were no
there the bone and sinew of tho party wert
not there. Neither will they be at thu
polls, on the day Of the election. Mark i
well and make note ont"
Many of your readers have, Of course
seen or heard OF the correspondence be
tween Greer of Iowa and the members o
the Democratic National Committee, mys
teriousy obtained by the New York Herald
and published by that paper, some week
ago. 1t will he remembered that the riches
of these illusions from the National Repre-
sentatives Of Locolocoism, was that of Don
f aldson oil Texas. Now, by far the most in
, tcres,ing and important portion of this let
ter was omitted by the Herald, whose onl
aim, in publishing the correspondence
was to get the start Of any other paper
without hurting "the party which it S

iraity and independence. ! was rcliabl
