Mr. SUMMERS SPEEcH.--Mr. Sumner con-
cluded, on Tuesday last his great speech upon
Kanzas, and in so doing he even excelled his
mastery performance of the previous day. He
gave the Shareholders the truth and the whole
truth, and he did not satisfy himself with stand
ing upon the defensive only, but he poured into
the conspirators against Freedom in Kanzas, such
terrible fire as they were never before exposed to.
1t will be seen, by sketch of the proceedings
that ollowed the delivery of the speech, that the
shot told with terrible effect upon Douglas Ma
son, s. Co The little giant made an Intellectual
attemptto answer the fire. by a discharge of per-
sonal abuse, and Mr.. Mason scotoled at the Mas
sachusetts Senator, for want of words with which
to express the pent up feelings of rage that the
speech excited. 1t is admitted, on al hands, that
Mr.. Sumner has surpassed in this speech all his
former efforts in the championship of Freedom.
Massachusetts has better reason than ever to feel
proud of her Senator, and the people of Kanzas
may we'll rejoice that in the councils of the ma
ton they have so fearless and able defender.

press of Belgium has created an intense ex.
element. A despatch from BRUSSELS says;-
"In the Chambers, on Wednesday, the For
eign Minister, in answering interpolation IN
the recent speech of Count Walewski on the
press of Belgium, replied that that speech had
not been officially communicated to the Gov
eminent. When that communication should
be made, the answer would be ready, and
would be communicated to all Governments,
and would formally maintain the rights OF q
Constitutional and independent country
1t was further asked whether any power
had asked for any modification of the laws re-
lating to the press in Belgium. The minister
said he would answer in one word-"Never. !"
The sitting broke up amidst immense cheer
ing and enthusiasm.

The French papers are fond of exaggerat-
ing the extravagancies of the American press.
The following is an instance:
AT the issue OF frighrlul accident which
took place on an American railroad a journal of
New York in rendering an account of the &C
cident, made use oil these words: we had the
happiness OF counting one OF our editors ia the
number OF persons who were mutilated in the
shock OF the locomotives He had an arm
carried away, and fastened with the other to
send to us, in advance of all our coteinpora.

WASHINGTON, May 2O.--Letters Patent
were issued to day from the l'atent Office,
to David E. Hughes, covering all his claims
for his new Printing Telegraph machine. =
More than ordinary care has been bestowed
by the Commissioner of the Patent Office, in
examining the claims of Mr.. Hug es, to guard
against the possibility of conflict with prior
patents to Morse, House, and others, and we
are assured on the very best authority that the
rumors sci afoat by interested parties. to the
effect that the Hughes machine intringes on
upon the rights of other patentees, are wholly
destitute of foundation.

SPRING FASHIONS IN THE SPIRIT WORLD
Betsey L. G., whose letttrs from the spirit
world are published in the New England
Siritualist, thus describes the spring style Of
dress in the celestial sphere. She gives her
idea of heaven in full dress:
1.-The males generally wear loose white gar
ments, with girdle made Of different kind of
material, generally of silver or gold cord
Some wear jewery but this is not common.
They wear their boards and hair long, and
sandals of velvet OF different hues. The fe
males are more elaborate in dress; they have
more taste that way and are allowed to in
dulge III it, for the motive of dress here is not
as of earth. 1t is not for vanity or any such
motive, but from love of the pure and the
beautiful, and desire to do everything pleas
ant in the sight of God.
81 generally dress in light blue dress,
made light and flowing, and bound with silver
or white silk; a silver cord round the waist,
or a iewelled girdle. l wear my long hair
braided, and sometimes flowing, or bound
with a silver band. l have also white dresses
OF so fine fabric. they look like air! this
kind am very fond OF wearing. With such
a dress [ wear an emerald gird!e in the shape
OF leaves, and forming wreath; this is clasp
ed by one large pearl. bind my hair with a
string of pearls when wear such dress.
wear white slippers always.

FIRE.-The ST. Louis papers give full par
ticulars OF the partial burning of the city hos
pital on the 10th instant. There were about
SO patients in the institution, and it was nee
essa1y to use force to save some of the lunaties
from the terrible death which awaited them.
All the lunatlcs and all the sick patients were
saved, with the exception of lunatic by the
name of Jose, an Italian, who, after being
taken out, rushed financially into the build
ing III spite of the efforts of gentleman, who
was severely burned trying to detan him. and
persisted. The lower stories of the building
were saved. The entire loss is estimated at
5000 on which there is $4,000 insur-
ance. The cost of the structure, which was
very fine one, was $1,000 900. 1t is believed
that the fire was the work Of an ineendiary.

which they have come to the aid of the South in
their position assumed in reference to the Nebras-
ka question"
This Gen. Stringfellow made a speech, to an
assembly of the Missouri invaders, on the eve OF
the election of March 3Oth, 1856 for the choice
of members of the Kanzas Legislature, in which
he said to his fellow rufians:
"To those who have qualms of conscience as
to violating laws, State or National, the time has
come when such mpositions must be disregard
ed, as your rights and property are in danger;
and advise you one and all, to enter eUeIy cleo,
ton district in Kanzas de1fe nee Of Reeder and
his vile myrmidons, and vote at the point of the
bowie knife and the revolver. Neither give nor
take quarter, as our demands it. 1t is
enough that the slaveholding interest wills 1t,
from which there is no appeal What right has
Gov Reeder to rule Missouriaus in Kanzas His
proclamation and prescribed oath must be repu

Slavery is established where it is not prohibited
This gem from Stringfellow, taken in connec.
ton with the extracts quoted above, from his
coadutor, Atchison, is in full admission proof Of
the fact of the extensive outrages which have
| been charged to have been committed by the Mis-
! sourians upon the people of Kanzas. 1t exhibit;

actuated them from first to last. What oper

place that obsequious tool, Shannon, who headed
