We have news from Europe to the 23d ult., four
days later than previous advices, received by the
steamship City of Washington, which was boarded
by our news yacht off Cape Race on Friday last.
In political point of view the intelligence by this
arrival is unimportant. In London consos were
quoted at 95f $50. At Liverpool the markets for
American produce continued depressed The City
of Washington reports experiencing weather I'M
favorable for the success of the Atlantic Telegraph
expedition.
The statement made in the news from Washing
ton on Friday last in reference to the arrangements
alleged to have been made by Captain Comstock
for the sale of the three Collins steamers is entirely
without foundation no contract for the sale of those
vessels having taken place.
We learn from the report of the City Inspector
that there were 447 deaths in the city during the
past week-an increase of 100 as compared with the
mortality of the week previous, and l3s more than
occurred during the corresponding week in last
year The increase mortality is mainly attributa-
BILE TO diseases of the brain and nerves and the di
gestive organs. Thirtyone deaths were returned as
"suDstroke," and nine the effects Of the heat"
thus forty deaths were directly attributable to the
extreme heat of the term which commenced on the
Gath ult. and continued tin the 3Oth. No deaths
were attributed to these causes during the cor
responding week in 1857. The first death
caused by sunstroke in 1857 occurred in the
week ending July is, and but one was reported. or
the whole number of deaths 249 of children of
ten years Of age and under, and 60 inmates of
the public institutions. The following table exhibits

We have now before us report Of the third

Smith, Giles 4. jackson of Nebraska Territory,
and Ellen Beard (happy hirsute coincidence),
Corresponding Secretary Of the Aurora Dress

Miss Beard, amongst other eloquent and per-
fectly accurate things, says chat the right to
live without the power to live is a shadow with

formally delivered to the virginian Committee by
Hon. John Cochrane, on behalf of the city of New

was replied to by O. Jennings Wise ESQ., on behalf
of the Virgnians. The Ericsson sailed at one o'clock

saluted by the various steamers and the government
forts We give elsewhere graphic account of the
ceremonies and full reports of the remarks of the
various speakers.
just as the steamship Vanderbilt left her pier at
noon yesterday, and headed down the river to pro-
coed on her voyage to Europe, the majority of the
crew resolved on mutiny, and struck for higher

sent lahore. In quick time a cosmopolitan crew
was taken on board, being gathered from about the

divinity with manliness. Again, therefore.
we say that we go in for the inherent female
right to breeches
Professor Azsriah Smith, of KishacoouilIss.
Pa, is also strong advocate of bi-partite un-
der coverings for the ladies' In his letter Ia
the Dress Reform Association, he says, " that az
the health and beauty of the spirit are SO init
mately connected with the health of the body.

to guard well the casket of go priceless jewel

cording to the highest nature and most excel
lent uses of each, so that there may be besz-
tiful correspondence between them-the health

Mistress Azariah Smith is evidently in pos
session of the article so coveted by the menu
bers of the Association. The "manly glowing
soul" of this lady has been so well protected
by it, that it is no wonder that the Professor
wakes warm in praise of its general adoption
by the sex. Is he quite sure, however, that his
own soul is in his neither garment. We must
refer to Mrs. Smith for satisfaction on the
point.
We regret that we have not more space to de-
vote to this interesting and highly philosophi-
cal subject 1t involves, however, such intricate
and delicate considerations that we are con-
PEELED to postpone any further speculations in
regard to it until after the next annual meet

The DUDLEY OBSERVATORY DFFICuLTY.-We
publish to day all the correspondence which has
passed between Mrs. Dudley and the trustees
and Scientific Council of the Observatory rela.
tive to the late action Of the trustees in summs-
rily removing DR.. Gould from the directorship.
This entire quarrel is very discreditable to all
parties, and is, moreover, for the sake of our
national honor, greatly to be deplored. II
seems as if our public scientific institutions
were destined to be the theatres of eternal dis
sension, petty jealousies and personal difficult
ties, instead of being the disseminators of sci
entifc learning. We have no disposition to
pronounce upon this unfortunate quarrel at the
Dudley Observatory. We conceive it is mat
ter of very little Importance to the scientific
world which party is right and which is wrong;
but it may be said that the trustees are all
practical business men-bankers, and so forth
while the Council, who are at loggerheads with
them, are men of science merely-a class which
is usually censorious, hair-splitting and given
much to small jealousies and quarrels upon very
trifing pretexts. Mrs. Dudley, however, it ap-
pears, sides with the Scientific Council, whether
because she is well or i'll informed about the
matter we do not know. We repeat, the whole
affair looks very contemplate, and is much to
be regretted for many reasons.

1TNow that the Fall Elections are over, and the opposition to the National Administration, are so generally triumphant, those States who hold their elections in the Spring will begin to prepare for the contest. New England is thus far unanimously on the side of Freedom and Free Labor. Maine, Yer mont and Massachusetts have done nobly, and will be followed. we trust, by New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Connecticut with rousing majorities on the right side. In the present Congress, two dis tricts in Connecticut represented by slaveryex tending democrats. This must not be permitted a. gain, and will not be, if the opposition cordially unite in the support of proper candidates and good candidates only be put in nomination by sending proper men to the nominating conventions. If these conventions composed of 'packed' delegates, suc- cess must necessarily be doubtful But if the people take the matter into their own hands, attend the primary meetings. and send discreet unpledged del egatcs to select the candidates there can be no fear as the result.

 We are not in the habit of publishing political speeches, even when made in Congress, much less harrangues upon the stump. But the importance which is attached to this we'll and carefully prepar ed effort of the first of our present Statesmen, is sufficient reason for laying it before the people for their examination The Democratic Party has ever been and will continue to be, the advocate and SUD- porter of the slave-holding interest and whether Buchanan or Douglas or some southern statesman, be the standard bearer at the next Presidential elec ton the efforts of that party will be to sustain sa very in its advancing claims.

The Admin istration will evidently be powerless in the next House. but whether the opp, sition will be able to unite is, perhaps probematical. From the States yet to elect the Republicans cannot expect to carry more than seven eight members. so that they they must lack six at least of an actual majority ovel all other parties.
