The excitement in regard to the Crystal Palace

average number of admissions daily will reach

New York 10 literally crowded with strangers.-
The hotels are not capable of accommodating the
number of visitors, and hundreds are turned away
daily from the principal establishments.
The yellow fever is quite prevalent and fatal at
New Orleans. II will of course be no better dur
ing August, and citizens well as strangers
should be admonshed not to visit the Crescent City
lbefore November sa a.e 9s.

22d July were 617, of which 429 were of the yell
How fever, or SO per cent. of the whole number.
/ The general intelligence from the Atlantic
States is unusually meagre. The political world
is quiescent, and there seems to be firm prospect
that all the late apprehensons of foreign quarrels
will prove groundless, and the causes of them pass
over quietly. The fishing question was under
quiet discussion between Secretary MARCY and
the British Minister, under the rural shades of
Berkley Springs, where it was hardly possible for
1.-THE diplomatic conversation to be otherwise than
lamiable. The Mesla Valley excitement has died
away, and SArrA ANNA is likely to have breath
ing spell at least before he gets into trouble with
our government 1t will not be long, however,
before there will be other and more serious causes
Iof quarrel between the two powers.
/ The slave trade appears to be gaining the most
Infamous encouragement frem the officials OF Gu
ba and Mexico. The seizure of the SLAYER Lady
Suffolk at the port Of Laguna, in Yucatan, proves
to- have been only for the sake Of satisfying the
. British government, and her owner had been re-
leased from the Moro, where he had been confined.
II The Mexican Consul in Cuba founds his right
j to grant the false papers under which the Lady
i Suffolk sailed from Cienfuegos to Laguna, on IN
alleged certificate of our Consul at Havana, Judge
SHAKER, that this famous SLAYER was owned by
an American, and authonsing the sale by her mas
4 ter to her Spanish purchasers. We have but little
doubt that this s vile and audacious SANDER; and
it is imperative on our Government to demand the
proof of SO base elimination other ofhcer.--7tta

! In regard to European affairs the general lopinion
!. is that the main question between Russia and Tur-
kew will be settled before long without hostilites
i To preserve peace, however, Turkey must submit
that Russian armies occupy, for the winter Molda-
via and Wallachis, and that Bucharest, the Capi-
/ tai Of the latter province, two hundred and fifty
miles from the Russian frontier, shall be the head
quarters of the army Of occupation. Essi a's.esi
