ATLANTIC INTELLIGENCE.
New BURDELL DEvELoPMENTs.-M Cunning
ham-Burdell's counsel were yesterday served
with notice that motion would be made on
behalf of Dr. BurdelIs relatives to take out
commission to examine witness in California
named Whitehead G. Hyde. The affidavit OF
MIR Charles Edwards set forth that Mr.. Hyde
was expected to prove that he had been for the
past two years engaged to be married to Mrs.
Cunningham, aud that they had kept up a cor
respondence conformable to such q relation be-
tween them up to the 10th of December, 1866
q month and half after the alleged marriage.
Mr. Edwards states that his information is de-
rived from the friends and family of Mr.. Hyde.
Mrs. Cunningham, we understand, denies these
statements from beginning to end. Her coun-
sci are inclined to believe that the proposed mo-
ton will not prevail but the case will go on
from day TO day. and be finished without delay.
A letter has also been received from another
party, not directly connected with the pending
litigation, in which it was announced that Dr.
Burdell was himself married two years before
his death to a woman not Mrs. Cunningham
who Is till living, and that therefore her mar
riage to him. if it occurred, as alledged, was IL
legal and void.-N Y Tribune May 22d.
EMIGRATIoN FROM New ENGLAND TO THE WEST,
1t is calculated that about three hundred
thousand persons will emigrate during this sea-
son from New England TO the Western States
aud Territories. The value of property they
will carry with them may be estimated at twen-
ty millions of dollars; but if we take the actual
value of the settlers to the new States where
they arc going, it will be at least thirty millions
MORE making fifty or sixty millions of real
living values about departing from New Eng
land to enrich the great empire west of the
Alleghanies. With such a prospect before them
it is no wonder that all the railway stocks in
New England are quoted at low range Of
prices, and that the Boston journals complain
of times and dull trade. The exodus from New
England, in population and wealth, will be
equivalent to the removal Of the whole city of
Boston-men, women aud children; exclusive,
however, of such gems Of religion aud civiliza-
ton as the Rev. Mr.. Kalloch OF the glorious
Garrison-M y. Herald.
MASONIC DIFFICULTIES IN N Ew YoRK.-After
many years of strife there is at last a prospect
of union of the antagonstic Masonic bodies
in this State. The Grand Lodge of Free and
Accepted Masons, under the Grand Mastership
of Mordecai Myers, commenced its annual ses-
sion on Tuesday last and has continued its ses-
sions daily. Among the subjects of interest
that have been discussed and acted upon were
the 'articles Of union," as reported by the Com
mttee of Conference. After full and free
discussion of them they were unanimously ac-
cepted as the basis Of settlement of the un-
happy difficulties that have existed in the Ma
sonic fraternity since 1849. This body has not
yet closed its session. The Grand Lodge, un-
der the Grand Mastership of John NJ Lewis, Jr.
has also had the "articles of union" under con-
sderation during the past three days. They
were adopted yesterday. The subject, however,
was subsequently re-opened, but will probably
be concluded this morning-Herald.
VIRGINIA ELEcrIoN.-Th election in Virginia
has resulted in the return of all but one Of the
Democratic candidates for Congress The can
vass has not been so much between the Know
Nothings and democrats as it has between the
Hunter and Wise sections of the democratic
party. These two gentlemen-1IHnter and
Wise--have opposed each other on personal
grounds, both aiming to the United States Sen
atorship. Mr.. Hunters Senatorial term expires
in 1859, and new Governor in place of Mr..
Wise is to be elected in 1885, the former desires
q recollection to the Senate, and the latter-who
will have been four years Executive of The
State at the close of his term-wishes to spread
his feathers in new field where he has thus
far been unknown. On the Legislature which
has just been chosen will dcyoive the election
of a Sen stOr, and hence the struggle between
the friends of these two asplrants.
OVERLAND MAIL TO CALIFoRNIA.-The leading
railroad men of New England, New York Penn
sylyania and Maryland and of the States lying
to the west of them, are sending petitions to
the President praying that the overland mail to
California shall be carried by a route commen,
cling on the Mississippi River at point which is
not only central TO the nation, but is easily
reached by travellers over their roads The rail-
road men fear that the spectators may succeed
in causing the overland mail route to be loca-
ted so as TO make it not only useless to them,
but absolutely injurious Many think the mail
should start from Rock Island, go across Iowa,
up the Plains along the Platte River, through
the South Pass and by Salt Lake to California;
but all believe that it should not start from .
point south of St. Louis as that city lies consid-
crably south of the central line of the popula
ton and business of the United States.
LOST CHILDREN IN New YoRK.-The utility Of
the police telegraph was shown in q remarkable
manner on Sunday 1t being about the first
warm Sunday we have had, a number of little
, children found their way into the streets and
were lost They were taken to the police sta
J ton houses throughout the city, and when theil
r distracted parents came for them the police tel
graph was putin operation, and in nearly eve
ry instance the children were restored to their
homes. The policemen at the Chiefs Office
state that nearly one hundred children were re-
stored to their parents on Suuday.--N Il Her

Cfvn. WAR IN OHo-A telcgraphic despatch
from Cincinnati furnishes a brief account of the
arrest. by the United States Marshal and his
deputies OF four persons charged with harbor-
ing fugitive slaves. Subsequently, writ OF
habeas corpus was taken out and served by the
Sheriff, who was backed by large number ol
citizens. The Marshal resisted the State officers
shots were exchanged between the parties; bu
eventually the United States officers were ar
rested and conveyed to Springfield, there to an
swer the charge Of resisting the Sheriff while il
the discharge Of his duty. Here is a collision
) of the stockholders of the Underground Rail
, road Company and the federal authorities tina
will create an intense commotion.

! the new cent comprising six million pieces
were paid out at the Philadelphia Mint on th
, 25th and 26th of May and orders were still
, coming in from all quarters of the Union, evel
! from the South and Southwest, where the oil
cent never obtained circulation Nine presse
