The news via Halifax, by telegraph from New York, reached England on the arrival of the Niagara, of the invasion of Lopez, created con siderable sensation in the commercial and political circles. Many were indisposed to credit the fact, till the arrival of the Pacific, which put an end to all doubt Upon the subject. The matter was brought auder the notice of tho Government:, and of both Houses of Furlikinent. In the House of Lords, Lord Lansdowne, in reply to Lord Brougham, expressed his belief in the sincere and good faith of tlie United States Government, lie declined to answer a ques tion front Lord Stanley, inquiring what orders lmd been sent to tho British W, India-fleet.

Although tho Greek question is still unsettled, there appears to he little apprehen sion that tlm difliculty between the several govern ments concerned will lead to any serious result. The London Times, in an editorial of Saturday, saysit appears that tile English Ministry, feeling itself bard pressed'} by the semi-hostile attitude of France, by the energetic remonstrances of other pow ers, and by an impending vote ot censure in tho House of Lords, resolved at any sacrifice ol dignity and consistency to patch up the dispute with France. Accordingly, an acceptance of tile terms which hud been originally demanded by Gen. La Uitte, was de spatched to Puris ; and the stipulations, agreed upon in London, were to be carried into effect as fat as it might suit the French Government and King Otho to accede to them. ”• A utiria.

A hurricane—a tornado—a tropical storm—some thing. in short, Hint we hear of but seldotncr see hero— visited the city yesterday, consisting of whirlwind, thunder, lightning, rain and hail. For about ten min utes before the storm broke, the city was shrouded in darkness, comparatively.

The quotations ol the 31st are repeated to day, say: 7g for Fine Up land and Mobile, nmI7J for Fair Orleans, but the mar- ket is much less firm and buoyant than it was. and the sides per day only about 5000 hides, though the lust ac counts from America, per the Pacific, represented the prospects for the next crop as still more discouraging.

Phenomena Attendant on Immersing the Hands in Molten Metal.—M. Cornc, iu a paper submitted to the Paris Academy of Sciences, says 1 ‘•Having deter mined on investigating the question whether tho ora yiloynirnt of liquid sulphurous add for moistening tlie hands would produce a sensation of coldness when they are immersed in tho molted metal. I immer sed my hands, previously moistened with sulphurous add, in the melted lead, and experienced n sensation of decided cold. 1 repeated the experiment of immersing the hand in molted lead und in fused cast Irun. Before experi menting with the melted iron, 1 placed a stick, pro viousiy moistened with water, in the stream of liquid metal, and on withdrawing it found it to ho almost as wet as it was before; scarcely any of tlie moisture wan evaporated. The momenta dry piece of wood wns placed in contact with the healed metal, combus- tinu took place. M. Covlet and 1 then dipped our • bonds into vessels of the liquid metal and passed our lSagnresr.vernUimesbackwards end forwards through a Htream of mrtul flowing from the furnace,.rad the heat from tho radiation of the fused metal belli; the Millie time almost unbearable. IVc varied these experiments for upwards of two hours; and Madame Covlet, who assisted nt these ex jieriuieuu, permitted her child, u girl of nine years age, to dip her hands in a crucible of red hot me with impunity. AVo experimented on the melted iron, both with our hands quite dry, and also who moistened with water, alcohol and ether. The same results were obtained ns with molten lead, and of us experienced a sensation of cold when employ ing sulphurous acid." This is putting in practice "the right of search” in good enrnest. Our government will, of course, mako prompt inquiry iuto tho affair, and take efficient measures to prevent tho recurrence of similar out rages on our merchant ships. Tlie Spanish govern ment must bo given to understand, and if necessary must he impressed with tlie fact by means of a whole some leBson, tlmt this government will not permit any nation to detuin and search its vessels on the high ecus. Spaniards must learn that "Free trade und Sail or's Rights" is with us a national motto and tlie mean ing of it is tlmt our flag protects the vessel that bear it, wherever tlie seas roll and the winds of heaven blow. The leniency of our government towards the Spanish in their recent difficulties, has been wl'on ly construed, if they regard it ns -an assurance that they may insult our merchantmen with impunity, un der the llimsv pretext of searching for invaders, Tlie Philadelphia Monthlies. “ Godev’s Lady’s Book,” nnd Graham's Maga zine" for July, are on our table.

The bridge which has been recently built by Mr. Remington in Alaba ma, lias abundantly attested tlie practicability ol' ills theory, anil is spoken of by the press as one of the greatest triumphs of mechanical skill nnd ingenuity. Mr. Remington is confident that ho can build n sin gle span of 1320 feet, which would bo^KBO feet longer than the bridge which formerly spanned the Schuyl kill, near Fnirmoiint. The span of that bridge, which was wonder in its day, was n little over 300 feet, and wns said to bo tho largest in tlie world. Tho New York Courier and Enquirer, speaking oi the success of Remington’s bridge, very justly re marks that tlie annals of mechanical art afford few instances where a grout invention has been developed and prosecuted under such adverse circumstances- Mr. Remington lias indeed struggled long nnd manfully against the skepticism nnd prejudice of his countrymen, mid will, we hope, be amply rewafdcd for lfta energy and perseverance. Wo well reihember the first time we saw or heard of this bridge, which is now the admiration and won der of the world. It wns iu th,o spring of 1842, in the villiuge of Madison, Georgia Passing through tho street in the neighborhood of one ot tlie Hotels, our attention was attracted by n groupe of men who were gathered round some object on the ground. As we approached we observed n smull structure, made of white pine sticks, which we at first took to be a child's toy. The bystanders were regarding it with incredulous curiosity, white n Father well favored, modest looking young man was ixplaiuiug the principles ofthc bridge, ofwliichlic said this little affair wns a model. The long’tudinal pieces, which rested nt cither end on small pino abutments some four inches high, were square, and about half an inch in thickness, mid the span was some three or four feet in length. There was un incredulous smilo oil every face when young Remington as serted that it would bo impossible to break tlie little pine timbers of tlie model, without parting the fibre of the wood by actually pulling the sticks in two, as we would break n cord ; but the laugh was wholly unsuppressible when ho invited the heaviest man in the crowd to stand upon the middle of the minenturc bridge. He at length prevailed upon uman to make the test, when to tlie infinite surprise if nil present the sticks remained unbroken under the dispropor tioued weight. After this others stepped boldly up on it with the same result, until the heaviest man in tlie party had perched himself upon tho slender struc ture, which, though almost hidden beneath his feet, remained' firm and uninjured. This was enough to excite the wonder of all beholders, hut it was not enough to satisfy them of tho practical utility of the invention. Remington afterwards went to Washington City, where he was befriended by his then only patron, the late Hon. Dixon II. Lewis, of Alabama. The next we heard ot him was in England, where, alter much delay nnd suffering, he was permitted to test tho practicability of his invention, over a sheet ot wa ter in one of the Public Gardens of London. His success wns complete his genius triumphant. He re turned to America with a European fame. This gave him a claims upon tho nttention of tho public. His bridge has been tried, and the result is before the world.

The near approach of the Nation’s birth day, has suggested to me an idea which 1 wish to communicate through your columns to the public. A largo portion of our community never partake of the usual fun of that most glorious of all national ju bilees— the inalienable right of every froo citizen— tlie great day of noise, military parades,'spruce beer, ginger pop, mid Chinese crackers—the.Fourth of Ju ly. it seems to be tho intention of some people to forgetthe Fourth of July—and against this atrocious uetof a re-active barbarism, I raise my voice. Never while tho American y outh can fire off a “cracker,” discharge a‘•serpent," or seta “ chaser" on its travels, should we consent that this proud day should be abolished. To bo serious. We have fur too few holidays, too low seasons of general, popular recreation. The minds aud bodies of our people, kept in constant train nnd tension from day to day, from week to week, mid from month to month, tend towards physi cal decrepitude and mental imbecility. I would suggest to our citizens to have n temper ance celebration in the afternoon of tin; Fourth, at Hodgson’s Park. Let a subscription be had—let the young and the old, mail and female, the father and his family, the young man aud bin sweet heart, all be present. We might have a temperance address de livered, which would instruct all; and the young could enjoy themselves iu hcnlthful and pleasant re creation. Reader think of ib—and if you approve the plan, express your sentiments, and join in celebra ting the day, and it will lie nn epoch in your life, picas, ing and refreshing to think of iu days,to como.

He has led a stirring nnd hustling life, having been always engaged in active politics, and being ever on tho most intimate terms with some of the loading politicians of the country. With Aaron Burr his re lations were close and confidential,nnd he was nppoin ted the literary administrator of that remarkable personage. He wns for many year3 the correspon dent of the Courier & Enqurier, under tho signature of “The Spy in Washington,” and his letters were al ways characterized by a Junius like directness, terse ness, and pungency, which rendered them rciidablo, if not always reliable. lie was tho correspondent, al so, for many years, of the London Times, under the signature, of “Tho Genevese Traveller,” in which ca pacity licwas wont to discourse upon Americun poli tics instructively, and, in the main, accurately and soundly. A portion ot our subscribers foiled to get their pa pers yesterday morning. This was owing to an ncci dent which occurred to one of our carriers,and which is best explained by tho following communication furnished by liim; Mb. Editor: Iuthc course of my “route,” yes terdny morning, while pussing down Bryan-street, was quite sensibly impressed with female severity, Near the door of a subscriber stood a Mrs. Mares with her youngest by hor side; aud though its treme infancy rendered it rather “green” looking, yet I had said nothing disrespectful of it, though might have hinted its verdancy to a gentleman who wns out by tho door. But tho mother, jealous that I should derogate her darling, concluded to turn my attention to some of my own imperfections- broken leg, for instance—und levelled at me a blow with one of her liiud feet, which luckily took effect just above the patella, or kneepan. llud I been trifle nearer, so us to have received the full force the blow an inch lower, I should have got somethin more than tho limps, probably; but I am happy to say that that is about all 1 have got, with tho exception of a pretty sensible impression where the blow hit.

The marriage contract is the most sacred known to our law. Those who en ter upon it do it deliberately. Tlie severment of that relation should not be permitted for trivial cau ses, nt the option of either party. The extension of the causes of Into years has become too lax. Parties intentionally avail themselves of the statutes,in order to render themselves liable for a bill. There are but two States where adultery is the solo cause of di vorce, South Carolina mid New York. In North Curolinn divorces arc permitted under no circumstan ces. During the early period of the Mosaic dispensation all that was necessary to secure a separation was for the husband to say that he made no further claim to ilia wife. For five hundred years divorce wus un known iu Rome, but subsequently it became com mon. All that the husband had to any to his wife, in order to secure an effectual dissolution of tho mar riage relation wns "Give mo 'tho keys out of the house.” This secured n legal separation. France has taught us a lesson upon this subject. Within three months after tlie new law of divorce wus adopted there were as many divorces ns marria ges; and in 18 months twenty thousand divorces were registered. Even in Connecticut, when the law of divorce was relaxed, applications lor divorce multi- plied rapidly. Do Tocqueville says of American women, that no where do the sox occupy a more elevated position than in tho United States ; and to nothing was to be attributed more directly than to our women the ex alted character and stability of ourinsritnUqns. And Mr. D. contended tlmt this elevated character oi American women might, with truth, be attributed^ to the difficulty of securing a divorce, mql to the strict veneration witii which the marriage contract was bold. At one time in France it was common for men to have ns ninny wives as they had years. A learned author refers to' an old soldier who, iu eleven years, had eleven wives. This wns. the result of the loose divorce laws of France.-—Detroit Tribune. Would in the day, from thoseuf the sun.
