Our Relations with ENGLAND.

The RIGHT OF SEARCH STILL ADHERED TO
Washing ton, June l9.--Despatches have been
received from Mr.. Dallas, at the State Depart.
ment, covering the response of the British gov
ernlnent to the letters Of Secretary Cass upon
The recent searches of American vessels in the
Gulf. The pith of these dispatches is, that,
while England disavOws all authority for any
offensive acts that may nave been committed,
and while standing ready to make all the repa-
ration that may be required, she is not at the
same time, citling TO abandon the right of vis
Ting all UeSSelS that may be suspected IF being
enga9 ed IN the traffic Of SlaueS. 10 other
words, the most effective measures will still be
used for its suppression. 1t is, however, the
desire OF the British government that these Wis
Its may be made III the most acceptable manner;
and TO secure this, the English Minister for
Foreign Affairs would be pleased to receive
such suggestions as the Cabinet Of the United
States may be disposed to make. The tenor of
these dispatches being entirely unlocked for
has created no little feeling on the part of the
President, who, it is confidently predicted, will
'iiSio" Ut OHSC upon tue dOduuOHHeul o. the
position which England asserts her intention OF
adhering to. In other words, the right of visit
will not be conceded by MIR. Buchanan in any
shape whatever.
LArER.--A letter from Washington, dated
June 2lst, says: -" Dispatches from Mr.. Dallas
have been submitted to the Cabinet, which state
that the British ministry will conform to the
position we have assumed in the right of visi-
ton, and have issued instructions for the imme.
date cessation of the visits complained Of"

plainly showing, that while there is slavery

The Great Rains of 1858.

During the last six or seven weeks there has
been succession of deluging rain along this
latitude from Kansas to the Atlantic, for which
no recorded observation affords parallel. For
the whole area east of, and including Kansas,
and below the forty-fourth parallel of latitude,
the quantity of water falling mas been excessive
The average of observed places gives about
ten inches as the depth for May, and five in
ches for the first twelve days Of June ; making
at least fifteen inches in forty.fve consecutive
days.
We cannot wonder at the floods of The Mis-
sissiPp and its tributary rivers, under the ex-
traordinary succession of deuges. One-third
OF the average rain fall for the year is brought
within period of forty days, and these are
continuously cloudy days also, so that little re.
lief is given by evaporation. At least ten in.
ches of this quantity is excess over the annual
average.
Most of the measurements we find recorded
are at points not touched by the tropical lorna
does which have been thickly interspersed over
the whole country. AT BeIoit, Wisconsin, TO-.
3 inches were measured in May, at Ottawa,
Illinois, S,5 inches. In southern Illinois the
quantities were much greater. The North
American says:
alt is apparent that this excessive quantity
of rain is derived from Irregularities in atmos-
pheric circulation, originating beyond the area
of country visited, and even beyond the CONT
nent itself The winds experienced at the
time, or previously, had the least possible to do
with the events, and the hundred tornadoes that
appeared in various places from Kansas to the
Atlantic, were but incidents of the general ex-
cess OfmOisture, and of the fall of that moisture
in rain. 1t will probably be found that the
southern hemisphere, or the opposite half OF
the northern hemisphere, has been suffering a
deficiency in rain corresponding to our excess,
and Dosslbly, the excessive heat reported as
prevailing in Australia, remotely, if not direct
ly, influenced the supply of this part of the |
earth with an excess Of moisture evaporated |
from southern seas
