We are having the most delightful weather-ths
Idisp summer in as complete form az the delicious
article can be sent down from heaven for msn's en-
joyment All that one wants to be made perfectly
happy are plenty Of money, perfect health, fal
in the price of COAL and improvement in the sani
tary condition Of oysters. Failing these, one mus
content ones self with gazing upon skies that could
not be much improved in the Crimea or Italy. Il
will, at least, cause one to look heavenward.
Mr.. Bancroft's last volume is much praised here
and it certainly gives bettsr idea Of the OF
events that led to the Revolution and of the idea
of foreign statesmen thereon, than any work that
can be named. On the latter point the volume is
especially rich, and win place Mr.. Bancrofts reputa-
ton as an historical student and critic on solid
basis. Twas sorry to see, going over the volume,
rather more errors of the press than ought TO be
found in work Of so mu.h value, and generally 50
well got up by the printers. They Ishould bo re-
moved from future edtions.
There is nothing talked of here but politics, and
there will net be any change until after the 18th of
November. An interesting feature has been added
10 the contest by the rupture that has occurred in
the republican parry, and of which you will find a
good deal said in our papers. At the meeting Of
the republican and free soil committees on the "a sh
report Gays that Charles Allen, Edward L. Reyes,
Foster Hooper, and others, spoke against General
Wilson's course. fear that the General has goas
little too far this time for his own good. Gard
per and Wilson" is now the talk in some quarters,
just es Boutwell, aud Sumner was in lS50-5l.
The macs Of the cd free soers who also constitute
the mass Of the republicans, do not fancy being
" sold and sent home" for the advancement of gen.
tlemen who seem to be crazy after office. General
Wilson's vote will probably be considerably less
than it would have been had he left the Know No
things 10 manage their own affairs

M. Damrel. Mr.. G. r. Russell is spoken of as the
wig candidate. He is abolition enough to satisfy
tee republicans, and would run the Know Nothings

meeting IN Faneu Hall on the night that Batcnelder
was killed.
The nomination of Mr.. Whiting in the Seventh
district, by the whigs-he being the Know Nothiag
Cardidate-was the result of regular bargain be-
tween the wing leaders in the district and that gen.
ueman's friends. Mr.. Whiting was about to with
draw from the contest, s, meagre were his PROS
poets, when he vas induced to reconsider his nsen-
ton by assurances from the wings that il he would
retain his position ne would also be selected as their
candidate, they adding thai the democratic vote
would be split INTO two not unequal parts by the
nomination OF . second democratic candidate by
the buDkers which fact wonld greatly increase the
