Fatal Effects of the Heat.

The intense heat of Saturday, June
30th, had a disastrous effect in N. York
upon many poor laborers and others who
were exposed to the suns rays. A large
number of persons were overcome by the
heat, and up to Saturday afternoon ten
deaths we're reported at the Offices of the
Coroners. Among the sunstruck cases
was that of James Gillen, policeman,
who after few hours suffering recover
ed. Coroners' inquests were held in the
cases Of
Anthony Kohl, German, about SO
years of age; Mary O'Brien, native of
Ireland; an unknown man who fell in
Prince street, and died in about an hour;
Elizabeth Ahern, q native Of Ireland,
aged 10; Richard Fitzgerald, labor, %
years of age; a colored man, name un-
known; an unknown man about 80 years
of age; an unknown man about 40 years
of age, who had the appearance of Ia
borer; Joseph Fraser, resident of Oak
street, about SO years of age; Michael
Costello, of West 32d street; an unknown
man, apparently laborer, about 80 years
of age. The verdict in each of the above
cases was death from the effects of the
heat.
Several sudden deaths, from the effect
of heat, took place also at Baltimore on
Saturday, as follows:
A man, (name unknown whilst walk
ing along tho Liberty road near DR.
Hitch's farm, just beyond the limits o
the city, on Saturday afternoon, fell tc
the ground and expired in few minutes
An elderly lady from the Easter
Shore arrived in this city on Saturday af
ternoon last, and was proceeding on hel
way to Franklin street, along Soutl
Charles, when she received sun stroke
from the effects of which she expired in
short time.
About half-past seven o'clock, on Sat
urday evening man named John Hogar
was carried to the Southern district po
lice station in an insensible state, where
he died about two hours Afterwards
The inquest rendered a verdict of deatt
from sun stroke.
A man whose name is said to be Johr
Barker was sun struck on Friday after
noon on the Charles street avenue, and
shortly after expired. A verdict wa:
rendered of death by stroke of the sun.
Joseph Hamilton, formerly police of
fcer, suddenly fell, on Saturday after
noon, at the Corner of St. Paul and Cath
drel streets, and expired shortly after be
ing conveyed to his residence. His deatt
is attributable to the extreme heat of the
weather.

Plank Road,

A, meeting Of the Lehigh and Delaware
Plank Road Company, held in Stroudsburg'
short time since, JOSEPH FENNER, was
elected President, and PHILIP MIxsELL, Jr.
Secretary.
This Company was chartered at the last
session of the Legislature, to build plank
road from Charlottesville, in the County Of
Luzerne, TO the Delaware, LackawanGa and
Western Rail Road in the County of Monroe
and is intended to make an outlet, for the
vast quantities of lumber manufactured on the
Lehigh and in the western part of Monroe
County, to the Rail Road. This improve
ment, when finished, will be a great benefit
to the lumbermen. We doubt not, Judging
from Nhat we know of the gentlemen who
have it in charge, that it will be pushed tc
q speedy completion.

The News from Europe.

The Hermann, at New York, and the
America at Halifax, bring the one four
days and the other seven days later news
from Europe. The intelligence from the
seat of war is important, though but brief
details, received by telegraph by the Eng
lish and French governments, are given
to the public. Rumor was very rife when
the Hermann left of a severe repulse sus-
tained by the Allied forces in storming
Malakof and the Redan, and though five
days had interviewed before the sailing of
the steamer America, since the battle,
which was fought on the 18th of June,
but few additional facts had transpired
and those were communicated officially
by Lord Panmure. Private accounts
were more full. They describe the bat
tie to have been simultaneous attack by|
the British upon the Redan and the
French upon the Malakoff. The Allies
fought with their usual courage and i'm
petuosity, and the French gained a footing
in the Malakof, but the Russians opened
upon them with dreadful fire and from
new and unexpected batteries. The AL
lies were compelled to abandon the attack
and retreat to their former parallels
The Russians sprung some mines, where
by the slaughter was more terrible. The
loss to the British alone, tits said is near
ly 1000 men killed and wounded. The
Russians appear to have followed the re-
treating Allies, and have succeeded in
the Mamelon outworks, to get
possession of which caused the French
such severe loss on the 7th ultimo.-I
This assault is the first undertaking byI
storm against the regular defences of Sc
bastopol, and its disastrous result does
not augur fasorably for speedy capture
of the place.

The Roman Catholic Cathedral in Pitts

The Roman Catholic Cathedral in Pitts
burg, Pa, which was consecr2ted on Sun
day last, was commenced four years ago,
and will be when finished, says the Bal
timore American. the most magnificent
church building in this country. 1t is
estimated that from 1000 to 5000 per-
sons can be seated within its walls; and
if necessary, additional pews can be set
upon the space now left free for process
ions, &c. Among the many novel fea-
lures introduced into this church, is the
invention of Bishop O'Conner, by which
the seats can be changed without the oc
cupants being required to leave their pews,
so that the congregation can face either
way.

a Washington correspondent of the
Herald says, that some officers of the Ar
my and the Government have been dis
covered specuIating in land, and that
Commissioner Manypenny has brought on
himself the anger of jeff Davis and 9th
er functionaries for disclosing it. Mr..
Wilson, late Commissioner of the Land
Office, also took up the matter, and for bis
'indiscretiOn' in doing SO was removed
The correspondent adds
The corruptions and speculations of
the faVOrites of the present administration
surpass belief; and any honest officer who
undertakes to fulfil his duty by investiga-
ting them is pretty sure to fall. Thew
dare not remove Manypanny, however, as
the great State of Ohio stands at his
back.
