In the San Francisco Placer Times of the 9th of Ju
ly, there is published news from the United States
to the Cd of June, and from Europe to the 10Th of
May, being eleven days later intelligence than was
received by the mail steamers. The news re-
ceved by way of Mexico, where the magnetic tele-
graph is in operation from Vera Cruz to the city of
Mexico. The San Francisco papers say that. when
the line is finished to Mazatlan, Mexican papers will
be their chief reliance for intelligence from the At
lantc States and Europe.
COnjugoI Affection.
Hon Horace Mann, in his culogy upon MIR. Ran
tou. related the following touching instance of
iuga affection in connection with the last illness Of
the deceased -
Yet Mr.. Ran;oul. even amid the agonies of his
disease, had lucid intervals There convictions
in his mind SO deep scaled, and affections in his
heart strong to stand unmoved by any lem
pest of derium. On being telegraphed respecting
the illness of her husband his devoted and excel
lent lady, then in Massachusetts,, FASTENED to his
succor. She arrived here at o'clock on the NOR

hand in his, and held it till lie brcathed his last
Even when his mind wandered, this grasp of affec-

swelling Of the disease had closed his eyes, and it
was beyond the power of muscular contraction to
open them. He desired to have them opened by
mechanical means, that he might more behold
the features and the face whence for more than
twenty years. the light of love had shone down in
ienations and strifes and hostilitics Which seem
sometimes to flow out of the human bosom as tho

tions, sympathies, tenderness and loves which are
inseparable from it allied to it by more congen-

says:
The intelligence which has recently arrived from
the United States is Of very painful and distress
ing character, for which have mainly to thank
present protectionSt Government. Another of those
annoying ruptures has occurred which has so often,
during the past twenty years, alienated the sympa-
thies of the people of the two countries and brought
them to the verge of hostile conflict. When the
settled, it was hoped that collisions of this kind
would in future be rendered impossible, but the
hung ers who who have now possession of power in
this country evidently look with jealousy at the kind
y feeling which has recently sprung up between the
British and the american nations. Never, during
the memory of living man. has there existed between
the two countries such amicable relations have
prevailed during the last six months.
