0ET Four more cargoes of negro slaves from Africa have just been landed on the Gu ban coast, within half mile of the coun- try seat of Governor General Concha They numbered l783 likely hands, without counting lntlrm or children, worth in the aggregate $1,- O69,0OO. From this the reader may calculate the enormous profits of the slave trade. All these negroes were obtained on the African coast at very little cost. Two of the vessels which brought these cargoes were destroyed soon after boing discharged, but the other two went back to Africa on a fresh venture.-U. s. Gazette.
 If the theory of some of our moralists be correct, says the Boston Post. that the publica- ton of suicides and other crimes tends to their increase, how can the newspapers be excused for laying such temptation to money making as the above" before an active, enterplisng and greedy world? Hope none of our re- publlcan' leaders will go into the business.

FOREIGN IMMIGRATION. - In view of the large
number OF passengers crowding back to their old
homes IN Europe by every packet ship, most persons
suppose that the foreign immigration to the United
States will be greatly diminished by the news of the
hard times here As the financial and mercantile dif.
hcntes are beginning to be quite as extensive in the
Old world as here, and the almost total cessation of
payments and orders for goods for the American
trade will bring the manufacturers in Great Britain
ireland and the Continent to a stand times are likely
TO be no better there than here far the operatives
are concerned. In fact, the hard times may augment
Tue immigration instead of diminishing it, for the
news OF prosperity in the United States has been so
lohg continued, and has received such substantial
cohnfmation IN the millions of hard cash sent over to
parents and friends, by poor but Industrious and
thrifty Irish, English and Germans, that when EN-.
ceases in the old world it will be difficult to
restrain the peasantry and factory people from immi
grating across the ocean.
Inc Irish exodus continued at the latest dates in
an eStiaofdinary manner, was stated in the Lime
rick Reporter, which paper remarks, in view of the
nght ot the laborers, prosperous times and high
prices are not Keeping them at home.n 1t was inn
possible to get farm laborers in that region while the
people were emlgrating iu swar1ns, which the Re-
porter speaks of as myriads." The case in Ger
many IS similar, For sometime past the Hamburg
em'grant houses have been oyeriowng, and all the
packets bound for America sailed with full cargoes.
Nearly a thousand arrived at New York from that
port IN three ships, and two recent arrivals at this
port brought nearly hundred. The majority OF
tpese emigrants are from Mecklenburg and Pommen
and are farmers bound for the West with money to

AFFECTION AND characterization. John E.
Ward q distinguished member Of the Democratic
party in Georgia, lately delivered speech in New
York CITY, in which he was reported as having said
that he had stood by the Union against the attacks
OF Northern anaticism and Southern treason" This
apparent classification of Abolitionists and Southern
Rights men in the same category, as might be sup
has in letter. undertaken to state what he did say
which was that he had defended the Union against
the attacks of Northern fanaticsm, and would, if
necessary, defend it against Southern dsafection."
This correction helps the matter somewhat, and
rather relieves Mr.. Ward from the odium of being
one of those fippant and inconsderate brawlers,
who, confounding the enemies of the constitution
breath about Northern Abolitionists and Southern
extremists. But it is evident enough he abors under
strange obfuscaton to the Southern quarter from
which danger threatens the Union. 1t is not from
Southern disaection that his patriotic efforts to
it will ever be needed but from that excessive South
ern affection which holds it paramount to the right it
was made to preserve-that idolatrous devotion SO
blind as to see no difference between the Union Of
the Constitution and that other Union which fanat
clsm would erect upon its ruins.
There never was, and there never viii be, day
when the former is in any danger from Southern dis
affections but it is perpetually threatened by the in
atuation OF Southern disaffection. Southern disaf
lection, as it is called, is scrupulously tender of
the Union Of our fathers that it cannot tolerate the
impending Union of tanatcism. Southern disatfec
ton IS so blindy conding that 1t could hardly see
the difference between the two, and emuating the
superstitlous devotion of the poor heathen who pros
trates himself before the car of Juggernaut only to
be crushed beneath its ponderous wheels, would with
It's last breath sing hosannahs to glorious Union"
that crushed out its very hearts blood.

whole number Of births was as follows Illegtimate
Al 324, legitimate 44,039; total, s5,3 1863. This pro-
portion of iliegitmate births is not greater than in
many other German cities In Munich for instance
not more than onehalf the births are legitimate and
SO throughout all Bavaria. The reason is that in
these and other German States there restraints
upon marriage, in the shape of fees and the necessity
Of owning certain amount of property, which drive
form of marriage. In Paris the proportion of lille

in Vienna Munich. STILL even there, the statistics

An INSANE Mans ATTEMPT TO KILL
ais FAMILY.-This morning about five
o'clock a man named Thomas Larkin at
tempted, while in q fit of temporary insanity,
to kill his family. Last August, while Ia
boring under a similar attack, he attempted
to commit suicide, and succeeded SO far as
to cut an ugly hole in his throat, opening his
windpipe, whereby water would escape when
taken into the mouth. By skiful treatment,
the wound was sealed up and healed. The
arrangement at that time was occasioned
by fears that..his family was coming to want,
and his property Sas going to be dissipated'
This morning he says he got upabout five
O'Clock, and was instantly seized with a per
fectly uncomfortable desire to kill his wife
and family. Yesterday the old troubles
came upon him, and he talked again about
losing bis property, about his family starv'
lug, &c. II was doubtless this which ex
cited him to the commission of the horrible
deed which be attempted.
He went out of doors, secured a spade
came back and struck his wife, who wa
still in bed, on tho head with the edge o
it. He inflicted a wound about three in
ches long on the left temple, cutting through
the skull, and penetrating the brain slight
ly. He next assaulted his boy, inficting s
severe wound on one arm and near the Ell
bow, almost cutting off two fingers and in
flicting several slight scratches IN the head
A daughter was also struck but not injured
seriously.-Detroit Tribune, 17h.
