European intelligence now fully due by the Pacific,
and which il was hoped would arrive in season for
publication in this mornings edition Despite this
circumstance however, and the fact that very little
telegrapbic news was received yesterday our
columns to day will be found unusually well supplied
with entertaining and valuable information of every
description.
Our relations with Cuba, Mexico, and the Spanish
American republics are becoming $, closely bound
and important that it is matter Of moment for the
government and citizens of the United States to be-
come intimately acquainted with the political opin
ions predominasng in those regions, particularly in
relation to this republic. We therefore seldom omit
any opportunity ofmanifestng these ideas, whatever

The most important articles appearing ia their jour-
nails from time to time. Acting on this plan we pub

TIE Southern papers state that there is some
probability that Mr.. Oehree, the whig candidate,

prove to be the case, as there were several demo

mainly narrwed down to personal and local con-
iderationa.

City Inspector, from which it will be seen that nine
shundred and sixtynine deaths occurred in this city
last week. OF which upwards Of four hundred may he
traced to the effects Of the extreme heat during the

comparatively cool weather continue, there will
doubtless be great decrease in the total Of the forth
