The Pulaski (Son#. Oh 1 mystic sound I what joy to dwell, Where wo may hear thee sweep along ; What vesper toll or matin bell, E’er touched a chord like thee, sweet gong? Though Summer's sun renew each leaf, And birds come forth with merry song, How sweeter is the note—though brief— That rings from thee, PulaBki gong! And Winter, too, with piercing blast, May wreath the earth with cheerless snow; Or Eastern storms fall thick and fast. And summer’s sun no longer glow ; Yet sweeter than o’er Zephy fell, Seems Borens, dashing wildly on, Who, to my senses brings the spell, That rings from thee, thou dulcet gong! No lover, wandering from his nest, No mariner, storm-tossed at sen, E’er felt sn hour more truly blest, Than that which brings tby song to me, Delightful, gastronomic lyre! What fancies with thy echo throng! Ah ! what can quell the bosom's fire, Like thy sweet voice, Pulaski gong. Geo. R. A Mountain of Gold. Tho Pacific News of April 29 has a very singular article in relation to an alleged discovery of a moun tain composed entirely of gold and silver. The first mention made of this ’most marvellous ol nature s productions, was in a letter written to the N. Y. Com mercial Advertiser, which at the time was thought to bo a clever parody on the wonderful accounts from California. Subsequently a party of emigrants, fit ting out for a spot about sixty miles east of Pueblo de los Angeles, having heard of tho existence cf vast quantities of gold in another direction, changed their destination. We continue with tho relation given by the News : The route lay in a northeast direction from the nlace of departure, and full of difficulties. Striking the Mahahve river, they followed its course some dis- tance. crossing and recroasing as necessity compell ed some days ns often as tilteen times, leaving it where it makes a bend to the southeast, toward the Colorado, into which it empties. Obstacles were en countered at various parts of the journey almost in surmountable, in the shape of mountains of rock which they had to climb, and mountains of enow which they could not avoid ; narrow gorges through which they had to pass, and still narrower cliffs along whose crests nothing but a mule could pass with a prospect of safety, and where the slightest mis-step would land rider and all hundreds of teet below ; but they pushed on about 230 miles from the Pueblo, the point for which they started. Here, among the eas tern spurs of the Sierra Nevada, they found the object of their search—gold—and silver too ; and in such quantities as they had not dreamed of—a perfect mountain of rocks with silver and gold mingled and commingled in solid masses, weighing from one to many tons. The quartz proved to be exceedingly harm to such a degree that, during their short stay, all their implements, made for this particular purpose | before starting, were completely worn out in the op eration of drilling and blasting. The strangest part of the whole discovery 19 yet to be told. These large boulders of gold, silver and quartz have the gold in the south end and the silver in tue north end. No exceptions werefoundin tlieirex- amination. the silver being the moat abundnnt of the two. In the words of the person who was on the -wot. “there is enough silver there to sink every ship :ia this harbor." . Phsaibly some may look upon this account as a jest, and. SO'ftu-as the practicability of putting the discov ery to any use at present is concerned, it is so. All the water to be found for miles and miles around is highly impregnated with salt or salieratus, or both. Not asin-dedrop of water free from one or the other of these properties did one of the party obtain during the ten days of their stay. The whole region is a per fect waste, and disease and death must inevitable fol low any prolonged stay. On their return they met a large company going to the same. spot. A true state ment of the difficulties and dangers of a further pros ecution of the expedition induced about two hundred ' to turn back—fifty went on. The gentleman name 1, from whom these tacts have been obtained, is now in this city, with speci mens in his possession, brought from the mother mountain. They are the most singular and beauti ful we have ever seen, and one need only to see them, and hear him, to be convinced that nothing has been told but the truth. throne. The lady is said to be connected with one of the largest wine houses in the city. The two Pinna. Mr. Clay in liis great speech in the Senate on the Compromise, thus contrasts the plan of adjustment proposed by the Senate Committee with that insisted on by the administration. The Committee’s plan recommends nn amicable settlement of ull five of them. That of the Committee also proposes the admis sion of California as a State. They also propose non intervention us to sluvery. The President's plan pro poses an adjustment of on ly one of the five subjects which agitate and divide the country. The President’s plnn pi o- poses the admission of California as a State. He proposes non-inter- veutiuu ns to slavery. But he proposes, furth cr, non-intervention in the establishment of territori al governments, that is to say, that we shall neglect to execute the obligation of the U. .States in the treaty of Hidalgo: fail to govern those whom we are bound to govern; lenvo them without tho protec tion of the civil authority of any general government —leave Utah without any government at all, but that which the Mormons may institute ; and leave, New Mexico under the military government of a lieutenant colonel. His plan fails to establish the limits of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande and would expose the pco pie who inhabit it to civil war, already threatened 1 with Texus. He proposes no adjust ment of the fugitive slnve subject. They propose action and intervention, by the estab lishment of civil govern ment for the territories, in conformity with treaty and constitutional obligations; to give the superintending nnd controlling power of our general government, in plnce of that of Mexico, which they have lost; and to substitute a civil instead of thatmlltary government which declares it will as sume nn attitude of neu trality in the boundary con test between New Mexico and Texas. Their’s proposes a set tlement of the boundary question, nnd being settled, a civil war with Texas would be averted. He proposes no arrange ment of the subject of sla very or the slave trade in the District of Columbia. Thus, of the five subjects of disturb: nee nnd ngitn tion—to wit: California, territorial governments, the boundary question with Texas, the fugitive bill, and the subject of slavery in the District. His plan settles but one, lenving the other four un adjusted, to inflame nnd exasperate the public mind I fear, more than ever. Under bis plan, one par ty, flushed with success in the admission of Califor nia alone, will contend with new hopes nnd fresh vigor, for the application ot the Wilmot Proviso to all the remaining territory, provoked and chagrined by obtaining no concession whatever, may be urged and animated to extreme and greater lengths than have been yet manifested They offer amendments, which will make the re covery of fugitives more effectual, nnd at the same time, it is believed, will be generally satisfactory to the north. They propose to inter dict the slave trade in the District, and to leave slave ry there undisturbed. They propose to adjust all five of them on a basis which, it is confidently be lieved, is just, fair nnd hon orable, and will be satis factory to the people of the United States. They offer the olive branch of peace, harmony, and traflquility. Under their plnn, nil questions being settled in a spirit of mutual conces sion and compromise, there will be general ac quiescence. if not satisfac tion; and the whole coun try will enjoy once more the blessing of domestic peace, concord, and recon ciliation. Tuysday Morning) June 11, 1830. Arrival rno.M Tamta Bay.—The U. 9. steamship Fashion, arrived last evening from Tampa Bay. Gen. Twiggs was at the Fort. Nothing new from the In dians. The U. 9. war steamer Saranac left the Key, for Havana, on the 29th ult’rno. Most of the Cubans had left except the wounded. The Sarah Matilda was to have left Tampa on the2d, with thirty or forty Cubans. The schooner Hannah left on 1st with some thirty or forty. A company of Spaniards, the Garri son of Cardenas, are at Tampa in a bad condition, having neither money nor food. Many of them wan ted to come up on the Fashion, but were not permit ted.—N. O. Della. BY TELEGRAPH. Transmitted tor the Daily Morning News. FOUR PAYS EATER FROM EUROPE! ARRIVAL OF THE ATLANTIC! ! The American Mail steamer Atlantic, has arrived with Liverpool dates to the29tli ult. Tlie Cotton market was firm, with a slight advance. Breadstuff's had experienced a decline. The news from the Manufacturing Districts was more favorable than at lost advices. Another attempt had been made upon the life of the King of Prussia. He had been stabbed by an assas sin, but was not dead at last accounts. Kelly's Poktadle Soda Water and Lemon Sugar.—We were favored on Saturday by Messrs. Turner & Henry, Exchnnge Wharf, with a bottle of each of these preparations. We made a trial of them yesterday, and found them to be all that their inventor represents them to be. With the simple ad dition of ice water, we produced excellent Lemonade, nnd sparkling Soda Water. Travellers will find them convenient luxuries. As Sea Stores they are invalua ble. M’lle Amelib’s Dancing Entertainment.— At tho request of several friends, M’lle Amelie, the popular danseuse, will give an entertainment to morrow evening. We understand that with the ex ception of one or two dresses, she lost her entire ward- rope, private and professional, besides what money she had at the time, by the late fire nt Mrs. Yonqe’s Bonrding house. She gives the proposed entertain ment in the hope of repairing in part the heavy loss she hns sustained, and relies upon the generosity of a Savannah public to sustain her in her unaided efforts. The Compromise. A large meeting was held in St Louis, on Monday night, in favor of the Compromise. Resolutions were adopted, in substance, that the people of St. Louis, without distinction of party, declare deep and unwavering devotion to the Union, and will adhere to itin spite of the efforts of Fanatics in the North, or Hotspurs ir tho South. That tho West has a large stoke in the Confederacy, and cannot allow brethren of either section to endanger its integrity. That although there i; a difference of opinion os to the merits of the several propositions of the Senate’s Committee of Thirteen, they yield their hearty sup port to the measure as u compromise. That in the opinion of this meeting, if the principles of the Com promise are fairly carried out, the Union of the States will be more firmly cemented ; and that the peace, harmony and prosperity of the country enn only be preserved by the spirit of magnanimous con cession and compromise. They deprecate and de plore the factious spirit which has manifested itself, &c. Compromise Meetings, without distinction of par ty, have been held in the counties of Maury and Mont gomery, Tenn., at which resolutions were adopted in favor of Mr. Clay’s Bill; they also recommend that a similar course be pursued by the Southern Convention, The Hon. Cave Johnson presided at the Montgomery meeting, and Judge Dillahunty, at the Maury meet' ing. A sipmlar meeting was held at Nashville on the 1st inst. ( We hear of meetings of a similar character in va rious sections of the South. There is evidently disposition on the part of the people to take this ques tion out of the hands of the politicians, who seem to regard it in no other practical light than as a means of political excitement Further News by the America. England, France, and Russia.—It is said that Lord Palmerston is in the possession of information that the intrigues of Russia have been successful in France and that Louis Napoleon has thrown himsref into the arms of Monsieur Thiers and hiabrother “Burgroves," thd Tory Absolutists, who have ever been favorable to the Russian rather than the English alliance. It is said that Sir John Hobhouse is about to retire from the presidency of the Board of Control; that Mr. Labouchere will succeed him in that office; and that Mr. Cobden will then, be appointed President of the Board of Trade. The French garriBon in Rome is reduced to :000 •men, and about 5000 in the environs, which is suffi cient to keep down what they call the turbulent par ty. Attempts are being made to organize a Roman army; but£ as the only good officers served in the Republican army, and were dismissed, the old sol diers although starving, refuse to enlist unless the of fleers are reinstated. The number of emigrants who have sailed from Belfast for Hie United States, between the 1st of Jan uary and the 18th of May, amounts to 2151, and the number to Canada to 703. Burning of the ‘Ocean Queen.'—An instance of spontaneous combustion of coal, by which a fine ves sel, the ‘Ocean Queen,’ belongingto London, upwards of 800 tons burden, waa totally lost was reported on Monday at Lloyd's. The unfortunate vessel had: full cargo of Newcastle coal, and was bound to Suez for the supply of the Indian steamers. The crew werereBcued, after great suffering, in the boats. Intelligence was received at Lloyd's, on Saturday by the Mary, Captain Hagnet, just arrived at Bristol from Newfoundland, of an enormous field of ice, up- wards of 150 miles in lciigth, floating in the Atlantic, aboutthe parallel of [attitude 46. The Mary wascutaug led for several days among the icebergs, some ot which were more than 200 yards high out of the wa ter, and escaped from amongst them with extreme difficulty. The early driftingof i"e from the Polar seas this season is considered extremely favorable to the expeditions in search of Sir John Franklin and his brave companions. An I talian woman is stated to have been publicly flogged with sticks, at Milan, on the 27th ult., by or der of the Austrian military authorities. Some sets of harness lately ordered in Paris for the Pacha of Egypt’s state carriage, are covered with diamonds to the value of some hundred thousand francs. The Prince de Joinvillc had a narrow escape of his life lately, having been nearly shot by a Curabinero, whose bullet passed close to his head whilst boating ip the Tiver near Seville, and approaching the shore on his way to Santa Marin. Evictions continue, on a considerable scale, in va rious parts of tlie south and weetof Ireland. The process of clearing out the old occupiers, and consol idating their farms, is carried on with steady perse verance. Those who can scrupe up the means, emi grate ; but the greater part endeavor to make out« temporary livelihood in some other way, or go into the workhouse. La Patrie announces that a miraculous girdle, which is alleged to have been worn by the Virgin, ^nd which is one of the precious relics of the Cathe drol of Tortoea, baa been sent to Madrid, to be pluced near the Queen of Spam m her approaching accouche ment -, nnd it is for the present deposited on the altar of the' Chapel Royal. , , The Sun aays that it ie currently rumored that the CaHiat chief, Cabrera, now residing in London, has succeeded In obtainingthe band ofa lady ot immense tm-tune, and that he is going forthwith to the north „f Spain, to raise tho standard of revolt, and once inoreeuthtavar to place what the Carlist party term .‘helegitimate- breech of the house cl Bourbon on the Roswell. About thirteen miles from Marietta in a Northeast erly direction on and around the blurt's of Vickry’s Creek, one mile above its junction with the Chatta hoochee River, stands the delightful village of Ros well. This village was located at an early period af ter the Cherokces had left the country, by Roswell King, Esq., from whom it takes its name. ’Mr. King, with a few other families from Liberty county and its neighborhood, brought with them their pastor and erected their buildings, then in the wilderness— formed a Church, established Schools, and erected a Cotton Factory, which has now been in successful operation for several years, and tlie village has the air offpiosperity, comfort, and even luxury. The Cotton Factory, has 3,000 spindles, and furn ishes employment ton large number of individuals; from the neighborhood, who here find the means of accumulating wealth, which some of them, improve to great advantage. The fabrics of this Factory find their way to Northern as well as Southern markets, nnd command the highest market price, competing successfully with the best Northern Factories in some of their manufactures. Another Factory is now in progress by tlie same company, a few rods from the lormer, with a foundation of fine granite, which, is found in abundance near the building. It rests upon a solid rock, six or eight feet below the surface. The building will be 140 ft. long by 53 wide, four stories high, and will contain 5000 spindles, with the latest improvements in all its machinery. These Manufacto ries do great credit to the individuals who have erec ted and sustained them so successfully. The morals of this place are of high order. No liquors are allowed on the premises, nor can it be sold on the lands originally belonging to the Campa- ny. There are few more choice spots, th&t we have seen in the whole country, evcnln its natural beauty, nnd this with what art has done in addition, its tine as sociations and the very pleasant manner with which we were entertained, will notallow us soon to forget our recent visit, to the Town of Roswell.—Marietta Hel icon. From Jamaica. The local papers continue to re commend cotton cultivation, ana furnish us with ac counts of this article being cultivated upon an ex tensive scale. At Potose estate there are tour acres now planted with cotton, and six more in the course of preperation for the seed. The weather has been exceedingly dry, nnd there is nothing but complaints to be heard from the planters, in consequence of the excessive drought throuzhout the island. In some of the parishes there is scarcely sufficient water to keep even a stenm engine at work and the stock are dying every day. for want of water. In St Ann’s the pimen to crop will be a total failure owing to the long-contin ued drought, tlie fruit has not arrived at maturity, and has dropped, withered, from the trees. The island continues healthy. The fall of Venice.—Venice was the last of the Italian Republics. Her independence lasted only 17 months. Her surrender to Marshal Radetzky occurr d on tho 22d of August, 1849, and on tho Autrians entered her gates. According to General Hess the siege of Venice cost tho Austrians 10,000 men, besides 15,000 invalids and sick, and two millions of florins in war materials and restoration of fortresses. More then 50,000 pass ports were issued by the Austrian Governor to emi grants wishing to leave the city. Greece was the first country that offered them an asylum. The Govern ment of Sardinia afterwards followed her example and voted the sum of twenty thousand dollars as a fund for their relief. In anticipation of the fall of Ve nice, a private subscription list was circulated though the Kingdom of Sardinia in the month of June and in the courre of a short time amounted to upward of three thousand dollars. One subeription upon the list was of a somewhat singular character, it was that of a cavalry officer who subscribed ten thousand francs, to be divided into one hundred dowries of one hundred francs each, to be paid severally to such young girls of the Kingdom of Sardinia of good con duct us should become espoused to tho Venetian emi grants. Tlie Neapolitan general, Fi ! angieri, in a pro clamation uddressed to tho inhabitants of Sicily styles their island “La terra di Parudiso,”—The laud of Paradise.

J.'lP Commodore Stockton applied for a furlough I for two years, which was lrfhs-d.ard hence hie resig nation. Disunion in California. The late accounts from California indicate the ne cessity of some immediate action of our government to prevent serious difficulties on that quarter. In her present semi-territorial character her authorities are exposed to serious embarrassment in administer ing the laws, and are in constant liability of coining in collision with the United States officers. Without a court of admiralty jurisdiction, the United States col lector of the port of San Francisco is in a measure overstrained in the exercise of authority, from which fucts difficulties have already grown up which threat ened to bring that officer in conflict with the local ju dicial authority. Threats have been made on both sides, and at a late meeting of the citizens, the sub ject was freely discussed. The people are resolved to sustain their own officials in the discharge of their duties, and frankly declare their determination to set up a State government of their own, if they are not speedily admitted to their rights as citizens of a sov ereign State of the American Union. The San Francisco Journal of Commerce, eommen ting on this subject says : Necessity has no law, or rather it is a law in itself, and is paramount ti all such law as cannot under ex isting circumstances be complied with. Congress may, by its dissentions respecting slavery, keep us out of tho Union, and refuse to recognize us ns a State: but it cannot annihilate our right of self-govern ment, or extinguish the organization by which wc have created a government tor ourselves, and the name, rank and functions of a free and sovereign State. We do not, by any means, deny that the sanc tion of Congress is necessary to ratify what we huve done, and admit us as a Federal State : all we mean to say is, that if Congress neither expresses her veto nor her sanction with respect to our proceedings, we huve n right to presume that she waives her right of inter ference, and leaves us to fall back on the first princi pies of natural liberty, and on tlie fundamental doc trines of popular sovereignty, so clearly propounded in the Declaration of American Independence, with the view o: securing our own rights by forming and muintuinlr.g a proper government of our own. Mr. Frcaner, the California correspondent of the N. O. Picayune, writing under date of San Francisco, April 20, says : I assure you that unless Congress does something for us very soon a movement will be made for inde pendence. Ill case Congress does not admit us tills session the separation of California from the Union is inevitable. A great many prominent men in this country want to make a move at once, and it is in" opinion if the question is agitated it will be the cause ot a serious strife here between tho Northern and Southern men. The Southerners here are more deter mined than they are at home, and they are confident that they have the majority at present Of one thing you may be sure, lhat on the subjeit of disunion, in case we are not admitted this session, there is no dif ference of opinion, and it behooves the press on the Atlantic to concentrate all their power and influence to save California to the Union. Correspondence of the Daily Morning News. New York, June 5, 1850. I am happy to say that the old lady's prediction’has failed of accomplishment, for not a drop of rain fell yesterday, so that tho demand for umbrellas will decrease, and ladies and gentlemen will Venture upon the purchase of their summer hats and bonnets. I have no doubt that the story was got up by some wag of on umbrella maker, and I give him credit for the idea. An instance of intrepidity occurred at n fire up town this morning, which, however, I am happy to say, oro not rare among our firemen. The fire occurred about 4 o’clock, in n row of old wooden buildings, which burned so rapidly, that the inmates, who were aroused from their slumbers by the alarm, escaped barely with their lives. (I don't intend a pun.) Atone of the windows, however, appeared a woman with an infant in her arms, distractedly calling upon the persons below to help her. At this time the house was in flames, and already the fire was creeping round the window at which tlie woman stood, nnd in a few moments it would be in a blaze. It was a most distressing sight, and the more so from the peril that must attend the attempt to rescue them. But three brave fellows belonging to Hose Company No. 39, named Jno. Rogers, Wm. Miner, and Wm. Seymour, regardless of consequences, placed tbeir ladder against the house, ascended it, and dashed through the wiudow, which was enveloped in flames. For a few moments every one watched the result with breathless anxiety, which, however, was soon relieved; they appeared emerging from the window bearing with them the mother and the bnby, and descended amidst the cheers of -tho crowd, and deposited them in safety. Such a s'ght as this is a perfect oasis in the desert of humanity, where cold, unfeeling selfishness too generally prevails. I am sorry that I must record an instance of that kind too, to mar this beautiful picture—and yet it does not mar it, for it serves to render the firemen's conduct more benutiful from the contrast. Tlie woman was not much injured, but the poor baby was dreadfully burned, nnd it was conveyed, moaning from pain, to a Druggist's Store, at the comer of 27th Street and 3d Avenue, kept by one Dr. Warner; but you will scarcely believe the fact, that the bruto refused to alleviate its sufferings unless he "teas paid for his trouble in advance I He was not gratified, however, for Bellevue Hospital wns near by, and the sufferer was taken there, and properly cared for. We had almost another serious accident this morning, by the falling of a building. There was an immense quantity of Cotton, it seems, in that occupied by Hunter & Griffin, No. 177 South-st., and the weight was greater than the beams would bear; they snapped in the centre, and fell into the building, and by some means forced the front and rear walls outwardly, so that serious consequences were apprehended. But tlie alarm was given, and a posse of policemen were soon on the spot, nnd made all secure. A Mr. Maguire, the proprietor of a Gymnasium in Broadway, and a very respectable nnd much respected French gentleman, committed suicide yesterday, by swallowinglauduuum. Therowaano apparent cause, and his family are entirely ignorant of any. On Monday last, no less than 804 passengers arrived at this port, in four vessels. The Harper’s have issued the first of a “ New Monthly Magazine,” filled with selections, and edited by Henry J. Raymond, of the Courier <V Enquirer. It is published at $3 a year, and us they pay nothing for composition,, may make it a good speculation, provided they get sufficient patronage, which I very much doubt. The advocates of making a new version of the Bible, hold a public meeting on Monday next, to organize an Association for the purpose of procuring and circulating the most faithful versions of the Sacred Scriptures in ail languages. The Rev. Spencer H, Cone, Baptist Minister, leads the movement. An Industrial .Convention commenced its session to-day, in this City, composed of forty-three delegates from different Working Men's Societies. The object is to consolidate the various reforms now agitated, so as to form some means of promoting the welfare of the working classes in general. The Italian Opera Company is with us again, "and will be highly successful, I have no doubt. The Theatres are not doing much at present. CHARLEMAC.

These r« * tions were carried unanimously. A Serviceable Officer.—A commander in 0 Navy, who has not been to sea for sixteen years, h been ordered to the coast of Afri-a, and has resign, his commission in consequence. The Philadelphia Ledger doubtless truly remarks, that he would hatl had no acrupies to have held his office and receive his pay for sixteen years longer, probably, if he h not been ordered into service. J3P According to a tabular statement in the Bo«t«j Railway Times, the total receipts of the Great Wal tern Railroad from Boston to Albany has increas from $7,566,702 in 1842, to $9,926,952 in 1849. Thj net income of this road has increased in live yea from $246,069 to $755,488, or from $3 25 to $7,71 j cent. The Railroad Journal states that at least ten thouJ nnd miles of road will be built in the United State!,! within the next ten yenrs. Besides the iron require for the new structures, a considerable amount willbl needed for re-laying worn-out tracks and rcpsiril O ver 100,000 tons will be purchased annually, which, M the present prices, will cost five millions of dollarsp: annum. The Lawrence Divorce Case.—The Bosta Bee publishes a lengthy statement from a friend o Mr. Lawrence, in which it is declared that, in t quence of the notoriety given to this case by the pi lication of the ex parte details of the trial, st Lot ville, Mr. Lawrence is preparing for tlie press a (u account of the unfortunate circumstances connec with the affair. The statement in the Bee is: severe on Mrs. Lawrence’s conduct Hungary. Austrian tyrany is still employed in hunting down the brave Hungarians. A letter writer now at Milan says that most of the loading Hungarian insurgents are tried, as soon as arrested by court marshal and summarily executed upon the gallow« ; but where palliating circumstances have been urged in favor of the accused, Gen. Haynauhnsin some crises mitigated the sentence to that ofdeath by musketry. The churches of Hungary have suffered very much from the late revolution. The church property pre vious to that event yielded an annual revenue of400,000 florins ; but at present, instead of yielding any reve nue, large sums will be required in order to repair the damages which war has done to them. Upon the surrender of the fortress nt Comom the Hungarian patriots, among other things, relinquished 400 church bells, which they had intended to cast into cannon. The churches of Romo were, during the revolution, deprived of very many bells, taken for a similar purpose. After tlie fall of the Republic the cannon in the fortress of St. Angelo were sent to the foundnry to be converted into bells, to supply such churches ns had list those wakeful monitors. Crime in the Northern Cities. Crime in New York and Philadelphia.—The Court of General Sessions commenced its June term in New York, on Monday, with the heaviest calendar that has been presented for several years. The whole number of cases reported for trial is one hundred and nine. At Philadelphia, there are about three hundred indi viduals in prison alone awaiting trial, and it is suppos ed there were about one third as many more out upon bail. The crimes with which they are charged run through all the grades up to homicide. Boston is not behind her neighbors in this regard. She cannot perhaps count crime for crime, riot for ri ot, and murder for murder ; but she enn boast some of the most revolting murders that ever disgraced the annuls of crimr. Such is the state of morals in the great cities of the North, and jet the good people of those cities, while they live in hourly danger of assassinntion nnd every species of personal violence, are perpetually mourn ing over the depravity of the South.
