The American House. Boston.

II is not very wonderful to get improved accom-
modatons in living for advanced price, but
some of our friends from the country, who used
in years gone by, TO stop at B1ghams, in Hanover
street, will find on the same spot, now, comiorts
and splendors of which they little dreamed then,
at the same price, if we not mistaken. At any
rate, they will get, twenty five per cent below the
fashionable prices of the crack hotels, all that the
art and architecture of our day can realize. We
quite surprised a visit to il yesterday, at
the extent and perfection Of the American House.
1t is hardly second to any hotel in the country for
size and may challenge comparison with the very
first in the excellence OF its arrangements for cat
ing, sleeping, reading, breathing, and keeping
comfortable. II enjoys water, air, light and steam,
to a degree which would hardly think possible
In SO crowded location in the heart Of the city.
Mr. Rice, the proprietor, is practical hotel keeper
of long experience, and thoroughly bred to his
business
In the enlargemen of hs house he seems to have
jndulged the most liberal views, and to have ne
elected nothing that could contribute to the com
fort and safety of his guests His house occupies
one hundred and twelve feet on, Hanover street,
with wings reaching back from two hundred and
fifty to two hundred and sixty feet towards Sud-
bury street, and including five areas for light and
ventilation, with wash rooms, bath rooms, foun-
tans, reading rooms, steam laundry, &c, sc.
His two dining rooms. eighty and ninety feet in
length, will seat five hundred guests, and meals
are served up in them at six different
hours in the day, to accommodate all tastes and
habits. The floors interlined to secure
great silence, and protection from the spread OF
fire, while five principal and many minor stair
cases give ample egress, in such case, from all
parts Of the building. AS one threads the mazes Of
corridoIs almost equalling the labyrinth of Crete,
and peeps into the richly furnished parlors the

Th. Release OF the Cuban Prisoners.

We published on Saturday telegraphic de
cans who were taken prisoners III the recen
expedition against CUBA. The result demon
strates the wisdom Of the policy pursued by ou,
Government, and refutes the charges Of indif
ference and lnhumanity that have been 50 reck
lessly made against the Administration If I
different policy had been adopted, if an unius
tIiable tone Of menace and elimination hac
been assumed, there is no reason to doubt tha
we should have been met in a similar spirit by
the Spanish authorities, and that the cunse.
quences would have been fatal to the unfortu.
nate men who had forfeited all claim to the
interference Of their own Government in their
behalf, and were reduced TO a dependence upon
the magnanimty and clemency Of the friendly
power whose territories they had wantonly in
vaded.
There are many aspects in which this result
Is a matter Of just congratuation to the PREsI-
DENT and his advisers. The friends Of the
prisoners are relieved-parents and brethren
are made glad-the sympathies Of the Amer
icsn people with the victims Of false en-
thusiasm have been satisfied and yet no wrong
has been inflicted on the dignity Of a sovereign
with whom we are connected by the ties Of un.
interrupted amity and kind regard. The Ad.
minlstratiOn has been consistent, Just, consider
ate has vindicated its self-respect by the re
spect which II has manifested towards SPAIN
and has maintained the supremacy Of its own
laws; while At the same lime it has manifested
an unhinching determination TO reconcile the
sympathies and the passions Of its own constit.
uency with the most strict observance Of the
laws Of nations
While rendering this praise to the Admins.
tratlOn fOf the part which they have acted, W,
cannot withhold from the QUEEs Of Spain tn,
expression Of our sincere and cordial admiration
for the temper that she has manifested in ih
matter, and for the grace and dignity will
which she has illustrated this act Of benefcencr
and mercy. The manner Of the act has addec
teniold to its merit; aud the crowning beauty
Of 1t, in conferring distinguished mark Of con
fidence and honor upon her minister, Don CAL
DERoN DE- Ia BARCA so highly esteemed
among US for his virtues and accomplishments
cannot fail to render it in the highest degre,
acceptable to the American people. The pol
icy Of the QuEEN has been ia all respects gen
erous, conciliatory, and benevolent; and, while
II will carry unmiNed pleasure TO thousand
households, we have little doubt that it vii
prove more potentIn protecting her trsnsat
lantc domnions than an array Of an hundred
thousand bayonets.

Important Foreign Intelligence.

In addition TO the telegraphic report of the
news by the Franklin, published in another
column, we have received a despatch which
states that the London Times represents the
relations between LOUIS NAPOLEON and the
British government to be unsatisfactory. The
same is stated with regard to France and Aus
tria, the latter power being described as look
ing upon President NAPoLEoN's power as
merely provisional, and preliminary to the re-
storatlon of Legitimacy.
The subject Of an alliance Of England with
America for the preservation of the cause Of
freedom against the encroachments Of despot-
ism, is exciting lively interest throughout Eng
land
The Emperor Of Morocco has refused tc
treat with the French charge d'atdirs, who
had left Tangier with other French citizens.
1t will be seen that the Atlantic has arrived
with dates to the 10Th ultimo. Returns from
France show that LOUIS NAPOLEON had beer
elected President by an immense majority.

The Presidents Address TO Kossuth.


We published this address yesterday We refer
| TO it 10 express qualification at the tone
| and sentiment which distinguishes it from too
| many of the addresses with which Nj. Kossuth has
been greeted III this country Our qualification is
not the less when we hear, we do, of many, who
ranked the political friends Of the Presi.
dent, speak of il in terms of the highest admira
| ton. NJ. Kossuth is here told-and we trust that
| the admoniton will not be lost on hm-that,
people, we do not regard with indifference the
struggles Of other people for liberty and indepen-
dence, but that the policy which G George Washing
ton established, and which is associated with all
the glory of his name, iorbids interfering in the
| internal affairs of other nations.
This is what NJ Kossuth ought to have been told
if he did not understand it, when he first arrived
| on shores, and understanding this we may
say fundamental doctrine of the United Staes-to
the faithful observance of which may be traced the
success of our republican government and the pros
perity of the people-he would not have been led
away, he has been, into cxtravagant expecta-
tons; and would have forborne, we will not doubt
| to have urged upon Us the opposite policy, which
would have, he admits himself in the attempt TO
carry it out been certain, if other nations would
not be controlled by il, TO involve in the wars
| and contentious of any and all tho European
| nations.
| We say that we have heard those of opposite po-
| htics speak in high terms of the Presidents ad-
dress, which briefly but decsively advises NJ Kos
| suth that we, a nation, cherish and follow the
| doctrine of mon intervention which Washington
| taught US. We had supposed that all those who
were not willing to depart from that policy would
| endorse and approve what the President said And
| yet the Washington Union-which has expressed
| ts opposition, in hestating terms it ia true, but
still opposition, to the crusade which Kossuth
! would have embark in-is not satisfied with the
Presidents speech, because he did not express him
| self more strongly "of our dsapprobaton a Gov
-rnment, as well as people, Of the principle on
l which Russia acted"

Erom "a, Rnlti,nore Anerionn-

We published yesterday the address Of Kossuth
the President Of the United States on the occa-
sion Of his interview with him at tho Presidents
House. and also the reply Of the President. The
language Of the President expressing deep sym
pathy as an individual for Kossuth in his brave
struggle for the freedom and independence of his
native land, and declaring that the American peo-
pie can never be Indifferent to such a contest, is
censured by the Union newspaper. In the opinion
Of that journal it did not go far enough in its e1
preston Of sympathy for Kossuth ''Is was due to
the OCCASION" says the Union, "that nc should be
Assured Of our disapprobation, as a Goupnmenf as
,ceH a people, Of the principle on which Russia
acted in marching her armies to settle question
which was one exclusively between Austria and
the component parts Of her kingdom"
The idea that Mr.. Fillmore Is the Government
which the Union seems to Imply by assuming that
be could speak for il and declare lie purposes and
policy, is one which a devoted admircr Of General
Jackson might have imbibtd from that eminent
parsonage; but, according to the republican creed
Of the Whig school, such an idea is go utterly at
variance with all the principles Of political sys
TEN that the very ntimation Of it carries with it
something Of the ridiculous. Having expressed his
individual feelings Of sympathy for Kossuth in his
struggle together with the opinion that the Amer.
can people can be indifferent to such a con-
test, the President, in his official character adds
"Our policy az a nation in this respect has been
uniform from the commencement Of our Govern.
mcnt, and our own views, as the Chief Executive
Magistrate Of this nation, fully and freely e1
prossod in nay recent message to Congress"
IL was due TO Kossuth. well as TO the position
Of the President, that no unmeaning generatics
| in eloquent expressions Of sympathy calculated to
excite iallacious hopes should find place in Mr.
Fillmore's reply. lie said what was appropriate
| TO the occasion, and il would have been unbecom.
ing to say more.

Such is tho reply, which suppose that no one
who has read the Presidents message, and who
eonversant with the policy Of the Government
in its foreign intercourse, doubted he would make,
to an application for the adoption Of different
policy the present occasion. II Is a reply which
will AT once meet with the approval Of sober and
rejecting men throughout the country; and wo
have no doubt It will ultimately receive the sane
ton Of the mass Of the community, however they
may be inclined at present, in the excitement Of
their feelings, TO overlook the interests Of their

CAUsEs OF ISsANITy. y..-The more ordinary causes
Of inganity, such ne pccuniary dilbc uties, di-ap
pointnent in love, rchgiOus excitement grief, in
temperance. and excessive JOY, arc generally well
Understood. But, in report OF tho Bcthlom lics.
pital, England, We find Rono causes assigned
which TO sny the least, are curious and almost in
credible. Thus, two men Became mad from fear Of
the cholera; two women from living with insauc
pcrsOns; ono from attending n singing class; one
from terror al the Partisan revolution OF 1873, aud
one from the excitement Of travelling, Tor the first
time, IN railroad car. In several cases insanity
resulied from bodily sickness. Three men became
crazed from exposure to hot SUI. One poor icl-
low went mad from excessive sea sickness. Cen
orally women arc more liable TO hereditary insan-
ity than malcs; and 1t is known that their sedcn-
tary occupations render them more subject TO i,
from most canses, than the other Ia the Beth
lem Hospital during one year, twelve females were
admitted who had gone mad from love; bat not
ono male. la conclusion, il is said that half the
causes, whether as regards men or women, arc
moral ones--a fact which should inculcatc lorcibly
on parents tcachcrs, and guardians. the necessity
OF discipliniug the moral sentiments, well cul
