OUR NEW YOak CORRESPONDENCE.

/
! New York has the sick headache, or the
I horrors, or the blues, or whatever may be the
/ proper word or phrase to express an indivIdu-
/ al or a community that has been on the spree
and pretty hard spree, at that. The fourth
/ Of July was celebrated ton VI onday, the 5th)
/ with that enthusiastic and universal Joy which
! the anniversary never fails to inspire among
! the brave sons of Freedom. But the eager
| spirits of the boys could not be controlled I'M
\ til Monday, the 9Th. They knew that Sun
/ day was the Fourth, and they spurned the idea
4 of waiting till Monday, So they had any
quantity of squibs and crackers, and pistols,
/ and guns, cracking and hzzing away In all
/ directions, on Sunday, from morning till night.
| But not only the boys allowed their patriot
ism to get the better OF their reverence for the
( day; the men also, and If must tel the truth,
( even the ladies erred likewise. In short,
! there were great times on last Sunday, as well
as on Monday. We have had, in fact, two
days instead of one days jollifcation; and the
consequence is, as | have just remlrked, that
the women and children are all fatigued, and
that the men are, in addition to that in semi
stupid condition, Soda-water, and sarsaparil-
/ Ia are in great demand. A dry-ncss ofthe in
side Innings is pretty generally complained of;
and there is a universal desire TO put of en-
gagementS to next week some time Poll
tics have, by common consent, been dropped
for the week, by the Wing party. The dem
ocrats have gone into them little; bat speak
ers and audiences were all too drunk to do
anything but raise laugh. John Cochane,
the best speaker and soundest man of he dem
ocratic party in this city, who is a temperate
man, went out of town, | believe.
You will have heard, of course, before this
letter reaches you, of the sad accident that
happened at Staten Island, on Monday, where
by more than twenty persons nearly all women
or children, lost their lives. There is no
doubt in my mind, that this was all owing TO
parsimony of Vanderbilt, who owns the steam
ers that run between here and there, and who
owns OF leases the wharyes at wlich they
/ land their passengers. 1t is the opinion Of
competent judges, that an additional outlay Of
ten dollars by Vanderbilt, in the construction
of the species of suspensIOn-brldge on which
I the passengers land, would have prevented
this awful loss of life. Besides, the vessel,
which should have carredonly five hundred
| passengers, had on board over 1900! This
is the great difficulty with him, in everything.
He is so stingy IN fitting out his vessels to
I California, that no one ever travels twice by
the Nicaragua route. A single vessel Of his
/ has lost more passengers, in one voyage, by
disease occasioned by bad provisions and hard
/ treatment, than all of the U. S. Mail Steam
/ ship Company's vessels put together, have
done since they first started.
! Tie steamship Canada, arrived at Halifax
on Tuesday morning, with 50 passengers and
a weeks latter news, which contains several
/ features Of interest.
! Another Arctic Expedition has been organ
I lied by the persevering Lady Franklin, as
sisted by the Geographical Society. The
new screw-vessel, Isabel, has been fitted out,
and in a few days viii sail on another search
! for Sir John Franklin, through Joles's and
Smiths Sound, and Bafiin's Bay.
; A new transatlantic steamship called the
.9rabia, has been launched. She is 2,fO2
/ tuns burden, with engines of the side-Iever
class, of $50 horse power, but working up to
/ 1000. She will soon commence running be-
tween Liverpool and this port.
{ +. NJ. Osborne, Esq, the protector of the
| Newfoundland Telegraph, says that his en-
/ terprise meets with the best encouragement
K from the English capitalists, and that a con-
| tract to lay the wires between Newfoundland
and Cape North, Nova Scotia, has been con
cluded
Negotiations between England, France,
and the United States, for the reduction of
Atlantic hostages, are still pending; no an
swer having yet been received from the Gov
eminent at Washington.
! The notwithstanding and all absorbing top
/ ic, in England, during the week previous to
the sailing of the Canada, was the trial of
/ libel suit brought by the notrous DR. Achilli
against the no less celebrated DR.. Newman.
[ The former is an apostate from Roman Cath
olicsm, and the latter from Professionalism.
Achilli was charged with many brutal acts of
rape, seduction, and debauchery times and
place being sworn to by fourteen o. his VIC
! tins, five of whom are married ladies' moving
in the first class of English Aristocracy.
Achili, on the other hand, swore that he never

able feature in the case was the introduction,
! in the evidence, of copies of proceedings
I against Achilli before the lnquisitlon. it being
/ the first time, since the Reformation, that the
records ofthe that tribunal had been introduced
/ into an English Court Of Law. The most
/ talented pleaders were employed on both sides;
and, after three days Of intense interest on the
part of the public, the jury agreed that DR..
s Newman was guilty of libel, on charge 10Th.
/ Ga point of slight importance) but, on the
other hand, they declared that, with the fore
going exception, all the extraordinary and re-
voting charges made against the seducer, DR..
Achilli, were no lbels, but strictly true and
/ fully proven. The long and disgusting evil
dence, adduced on the trial formed a highly
seasoned dish for the appetites of the lovers of
scandal. With this latter commodity, the
Londoners appear to be as well supplied, as
we New Workers usually are. This IS a sin
tui world

ga, at Liverpool, to carry emigrants TO Aus

Louis Napoleon is still involved in 'muss'
with the Legislative Council of France, which
continues to rebel against the Presidents die
I tations and the Funds have been affected in
| consequence. The nephew or his uncle
has cashiered Generals Changarnier, Bedeau,
Lamorciere, and Leifo; for their refusal to
take the oath Of allegiance to the President;
but those warriors are still allowed to retain
their half-Pay.
