SUMNER TRAvgL.-Summer travel to Eu-
rope is now at its height. The steamers
that sailed on Saturday, went full, and could
have had twice the number, could they have
found accommodations for them. The signs
are, that from now till about the middle of
July, every steamship will have about as
much business on it hands, in this way, as
it can well dispose of. The New Orleans,
Savannah, Charleston and Norfolk steam
ers appear to be equally we'll patronized;
while the long array of names on the reg is
ters of the city hotels, as daily published in the
Evening Express, show that the steady
stream of travel is helped by numerous ar
rivals by every railroad train and steamboat
from the interior. So it has been for weeks
past and 1.-The cry is still they come. "-Ne~

The nominations are excellent, in point OF
character and responsibility, but they have
no chance of success" This is the cry rails
ed already against Bell and Everett. 'They
cannot be elected-it's no use" The old
game Well even if we thought they could
not be elected, it will be satisfaction to
know that by the acknowledgment Of our
political opponents, we are supporting gen
,lemen, excellent in point of character and
rcspectability-and against whose patriot
ism and wisdom they can truthfully say
nothing.

his school. To the correctness of this ac-
count he made oath, and drew the money
thereon. The truth coming out, Mr.. Smaltz
left the County last week in very hurried

L. STATES AND pERU.-The neglect and
manner in which the Peruvian government
have treated the United States, in regard to
the pending questions in dispute, growing
out of claims held by our citizens. has caus-
ed the administration to take steps which
will probably bring matters to Il crisis, I'M
less she responds, and without delay, to the
demands of our government. 1t is under
stood already that small naval force has
been sent in the neighborhood of these waters,
and so soon as 4 reply is received to the des-
patches transmitted short time since to
Minister Clay, in which the ultmatum of our
government was communicated in clear and
unmistakeable English and if she still per-
sists in her treatment, there may be work for
a pretty large naval force in that direction.
1t is known here that the French squadron
is either at or near CallaO now to demand
satisfaction for their insulting treatment of
French claims. These and other causes bid
fair to lead to some pretty livel y times for
the Peruvans-N Y. Uerald.

Many persons not only were in the habit of
making exchanges, but of leaving very con-
siderable sums of money with him, which
they drew out by checks from time TO time,
and the distress occasioned by the mans
defalcation may be conceived. To make the
matter worse, he was rogue most obser-
want in his sabbatical duties; always ready
to hold the plate to render kind Offices to the
clergy, and to pious ladies seeking advice in
money matters, his courtesy was unbound
ed. The clergy, therefore, are great suffer
ers, as are the pious ladies, by his sudden

The late decision of Judge Magrath, of the
United States Circuit Court for South Caro-
lima, in the case of Capt. Corrie, of the yacht
"Wanderer," charged with landing slaves
on the coast of Georgia, is exciting much at
tention. The District Attorney being asked
what course he intended to pursue, stated be
would await instructions from the Attorney
General at Washington, after apprising him
of all the facts in the case. AS Corrie OBJ
tanned the negroes by purchase on the coast
of Africa, as all other traders generally do, it
is not probable, under the opinion of Judge
Magrath, that he can be convicted. 1t is
thought that Congress will further legislate
to supply the defect in the act which Judge
Magrath contends is fatal.
