u Letters from Europe and India speak OF
the remarkable heat Of the season. The iast ac-
counts from India reported the intense heat OF
the country appears to have a fatal effect upon
the English troops la the 35th Regiment eighty
four deaths Of aPoplexy were announced. The
Londop theatres have been deserted on account
Of the great heat, ard several persons report
ed TO have died from the same cause.
The drought throughout France is excessive.
The Seine is reported to be nearly as low as il
was in l7I9. In England the crops are reported
to be very promising, except in districts where
the drought has affected them. In Srain, the
harvest is very fine.

IL twas stated that the De Riviere and
Blount affair had been compromised, and that
with the reconciliation of Mr.. and Mrs Bloun:
and the return Of Miss Blount to her father the
matter was settled. But it seems that the .. ose-
cution Of Mr.. John Huncke, the landlord of the
Hotel Napoleon, and others in Hoboken, for con-
tempt of the writ Of babeas corpus is to be con-
tinued. The examination was resumed before
Judge Ogden at the Hudson county courthouse
Monday, when testimony was taken to show that
Miss Biount was taken from the Hotel Napoleon
at midnight in a carriage by Mr.. Huncke and
Mr.. Philip Milford, and was driven to Elizabeth
City, whence she was taken on the railroad 10
Philadelphia, and thence to Gloucester City "
where she was placed in charge of Dr. Null
ford, the postmaster, who obtained lodgings for
her at farm house about eight miles from Glou-
cester. There she had brief interview with
Capt De Riviefe Finally, she seems to hav.
come TO proper sense of her position and hav-
Ing escaped from her new friends, FASTENED back
to New York and rejoined her father. There
has evidently been some hard swearing in the
case. Meanwhile DE Rivere Is at large.

November and December.
Remarkipg upon the course Of the faction
lists, it further continues:
ar IL the common fate Of men who backslide
from their principles apostatiZe from their creed
and forget their consistency, to be the chief suf-
ferers from their own misconduct. IL was the
fate Of Catalina, who DESTROYED himself in en-
deavoring the corruption OF Rome; II was the
fate of MiItOn's BeelZebuo, who preferred to
reign In hell rather than to serve in Heaven IL
hiss been the peculiar and special fate OF the host
Of politicians of our cOuntrU who have endsdv-
cred to set themselves above the authority OF the
Democratic party, and are now promenadlng the
banks of the styx in the purgatory of the Politi-
cally damned"
The Union also answers the charge OF the
Philadelphia Press that a system of proscrip-
ton, unparalleled, had been inaugurated in
Washington against the Douglas men of Illi-
nOIs, by quoting from the Chicago Times
douglas Organ) a statement that almost all
the Federal officers out of Chicago are Douglas
men, and THAT there is no danger that the
democracy of Illinois dread so much in the
coming contest as that the DANTE (Democratic)
ticket may be Withdrawn

presents the speech Of Mr.. Philips, Of Penn
sylyania, defending the Administration from
the charge Of extravaganza, and yet agreeing
with Senator Bell in advocating changes in the
Revenue act of 1851. The Infeihigencer says:
AS we cannot doubt that during the next SEES
sion OF Congress the occasion will arise for dis
'ussiDg the exptdiency of remOdeliDg the exist

mode pursued in the valuation of the goods upon
