We re-pnbllsh, from the Washington Union, a cor rected report of the remarks of Jkfpirson Davis at PhlladelphlfcfonTtU';subject of tiie Pacific Railroad. On the ooiuOTauorial- question of the power of Congress to oonstmet a military road through the territories, if noewary for tho defence of tho country, the position of Col. Day « aecraa to ua toua- ble. This principle would apply without reforonco to the character of the road—whether of iron rails, to be traversed by cars, or of earth, as a passage way for wagons. Built will bo seen that the Secretary of War Is prepared to advocate the construction of a railroad to California, by Congress, only when it 1b shown that such a road Is “ absolutely required,"and that It cannot bo built by other agency than that of tho Government. Beyond this wo see not how any Democrat can go. If a road is demanded for tbo defenco of our PaciQo possessions, and tho means of private corporations are inadequate to Ita construction, the enterprise may bo undertaken by tho Government But if it is not necessary, or being necessary, offers sufficient induce ments to private capital to build it, then the Govern ment should not be asked to engsgo In tho work. We believe the road important—perhaps necessa ry—but that tho very importance and necessity or it Will secure its completion without any draft upon tho pnblio treasury. Texas has offered three millions eight hundred and forty thousand acres of land, sup posed to bo worth from $15,000,000 to $18,000,000,as a donation to any company which will build a rail way from Red River to El Passo—tho distance of about seven hundred and fifty miles—nearly half the route from tho Western limit of Louisiana to the Pa cific. u The charter for a railroad through the State of Texas, from some point on Red River to El Passo, was granted a year ago last February, Intended to bo a continuation of the road previously chartered by Louisiana from Vicksburg to Shreveport on Red Riv er. The charter donates to the company eight sec tions, or five thousand one hundred and twenty acres of land for every mile of road constructed; and as soon as the proof is made that five miles have been completed, tho Commissioner of the General Land Office is authorized to issue certificates for the same, which the company may have located, and surveyed, and patented immediately after on any public lauds in the 8tato, making twenty-five thousand six hun dred acres for every section of five miles of the road." This munificent donation will, wo cannot doubt, secure the completion of tho road to tho Western limit of Texas, whence nothing can Btop Ita progress un til its terminus is fixed upon tho Pacific. Missouri Is building already from St. Louis to her western boundary. If that route offers such advani tages as Col. Bkntoh claims for it, surely the capital ists of the world will seize the opportunity to mako their fortunes by building on it to San Francisco— The Government, as a landed proprietor, whose pos sessions are to be greatly enhanced in value, might offer to both these roads or to any others projected to the Pacific, alternate sections of public lands along their lines, as a means of facilitating their construc tion. This would be proceeding according to tho policy which Congress has fully recognized os Bound and constitutional. Elections. A despatch from Helena, Ark., stateH that Messrs. Greenwood and Wabrxn, the Democratic candidates for Congress in the first and second districts, are elected. Tho Kentucky Congressional dalegatlon will stand eight Whigs and two Democrats. The Legislature is Whig. In several districts the vote between parties was very close. C. F. Jackson, Democrat, anti-Benton, is elcoted in the third Congressional district of Missouri, and Samuel D. Caruthkrs, Whig, in the seventh dis trict, each by a small majority. A despatch dated Nashville, tho 6th, relative to the election in Tennessee, tho day previous, says but few returns have been received of the election, yet so far as they have come to band, they are favorable to Johnson,the Democratic candidate for Governor— The Chattanooga Advertiser, of the 5th, brings accounts from four or five counties in tho Southern portion of the State, in all of which the Democrats have made gains. Smith, wo think, is elected to Congress over Van Dyke, his Whig opponent, in Chattanooga district. An election took place in North Carolina on Thurs day for members of Congress, Ming the first election under the new arrangement of the Congressional Dis tricts. A despatch dated Peterebnrgh, Va., says : “ From the 1st District, wo have returns from the counties of Halifax and Northampton, in which H.M. Bhaw, dem., was ahead of David Outlaw, whig, 100 votes, gaining from 100 to 150 in each coanty on tho last Congressional vote. “ From the 4th District, we have returns from Wako coanty np to the close of the polls on Thursday night, when the vote stood as follows—Sion H. Rogers, whig, 1249. A. W. Venable, dem., 642, and Lewis, dem., 643. There are two democratic candidates run ning in this District. One precinct only in Johnson county has been heard from, and tho vote was as fol lows—for Lewis, dem., 174 ; Venable, dem., 29 ; Rogers, whig, 160. It is generally believed that Rogers is elected." The returns given in the Wilmington District indi cate the election of Abue, dem., late member, of over Lead, dem., his opponent, by a large majority. In Newbannover coanty bis majority Is already which will doubtless be increased by returns still to come In from the other precincts to 1000. Thi British Provinces—A despatch dated Boston, the 5th, says Halifax papers of tho 3d were received In that oity by the Niagara, by which wo have the following items: The United States iloop of war Decatur, of the Bribing squadron, is reported to be in the Gulf of Canio. The Earl of EUnmara arrived at Halifax on the 8d init. A saa serpent bad been seen off McNab bland, but It wai only twenty fret long. Dates from Newfoundland to July flit, state that the flihartaa w»re In *cnj# caaee, an utter tellurs. Mr. Gisborne publishes a card explaining the reason for the delay In laying down tbs submarine wire to be the lack of a suffletantij strong steamer to carry the wire. Tha final result of tbs election in Prince Edward bland had been ascertained to be a small majority for tho liberate. The echooner Golds, from New York for Labrador, wu wrecked on Sable bland. July 28. Captain and crew saved. Bible Soowtt.—At a regular monthly meeting or the Board of Managers of the American Bible Socie ty, held at the new Bible Hense in New York city, on the ^th, ten new auxiliaries were recognized—one in Indiana, one In Alabama, two in Illinois, two in Missouri, and four in Texas, The issues of the past month were very large, amounting to 110,652 vol umes—exceeding by over twenty thousandv olumcs the Irenes of any month preceding. Death or Elisha Riggs—This gentleman, long one of tho most cminoot bankers of this country, died in New York, on Wednesday of lut week, aged about 75 years, ifr, & was a native or Maryland, and laid the fonndation of his ample fortune in Balti more, where bo was a member of tbo old house of ’PaABopY, Riggs A Go.—tbo first named gentleman, Ur. Geobgb Peabod?, being now of London. The first new wheat from the Genesee wheat grow ing regions of New York State, were received in New York oity on the dth, and sold readily at $160 per babel. Flour from the same commanded $0 75. of Spiritual Manifestations j among other things, i* lading tha manner tn whloh tha alleged truths of the same beoaraa oonflrmed In bis mind. He treats the whole subject seriously and candidly—disregarding tha ahafta of rldloala that have been hurled at him from various aouroea. In publishing tha letter the Herald concludes an editorial referring to. the same, lu the following language, which will be generally endorsed t “Some treat and positive proof, however,beyond tho reach of cherUtantem, will bo required boforo even tho aitontehlnf things whloh have been soon by Judge Edmonde oea be felly realised so ea to effect the itock-Jobbtng,ope ration! of WaU-etreol. For example, If among these ipir- Huai medium! they can dlaoover the fate of Blr John Franklin ; and If lost, If they ean tell how, end where, and when ho waa lost, end where the remelni ofhte ihlpsend their crewa may be found, giving tha latitude and longitude in advanoe of any ferther worldly Information ; and then, If a company of thaio mediums shall accompany a iden. tide expedition, and verify their revelations to the outside world, they will be apt to shake the publio incredulity to sorao purpose. M But until some practical Illustration, of publio noto riety, of the powers of tyeao spiritoaUsU through their supernatural agencies, shall be given, the unltlated publio must oontinuo to regard them, as we regard them, a bold- freed and mischievous hnposlUou—bold-faced, because these manifestations are only sustained by the tricks of the mountebankj and mischievous, from the victims they are contributing to the Innatlo asylums of tho country. With all due respect and commiseration for Judge Edmonds, we say this j and we say, also, that while we givo full credit to his sincerity and his philanthropic Intentions, we regret gnished, from the evil results to bo anticipated. Weak- minded and superstitious poople, from hereditary causes, or physical disease, or bodily suffering, or mental excite ment, will be apt to lose their slight hold upon reason, and fall Into chaos, before such high authority as this.*’ r pt New ffwwSi mo,t ebl. .nil !nu Yellow Fever In New Orlehns—:Howard As sociation. The yellow fever seems to bo still increasing in New Orleans—having assumed an epidemic form. Its ravages thus far have exceeded those of any previous period for many years. Tho deaths arc seventy-five per cent of all who are attacked—truly a fearful con dition of things. Tho Howard Association, who are indefatigable in their efforts to relievo the needy, have made an ap peal through the Rev. Dr. Hawks, and Messrs. J. Og den Woodruff and Charles L. Frost, of tho city of Now York, for help to carry out their benevolent purposes. The appeal is based upon tho most press ing necessities, and wo have no doubt will bo nobly responded to. Tho gentlemen forming tho committee In the city of Now York bavo spread tho matter be fore tho publio, through the dally journals of that city. In order tho more clcqrly to show tho ueccsai ties in tho case, wo helb copy a paragraph or two from a letter of ono of tho clergy in New Orleans, ad dressed to Dr. Hawks, of Now York, adding tho hope that it may move others to prompt and liberal action in behalf of those so sorely afflicted. The writer says: Ere this, no doubt, you bavo received notice of a resolution passed by the M Howard Association," re questing your help. I feel confident that you will do all you can, nnd therefore shall not urgo you; but I will give you the true state arid condition or aflhirs. Others may endeavor to mako people abroad be'ieve there is no danger, whilo there is really, nt this mo ment, raging one of tho most fearful epidemics that was ever known. Tho fever is of a frightful type, nearly every case black vomit in eight or ten hours af ter tho attack; and the mortality is unprecedented. Dr. L. who. you know, is one of the most eminent of our physicians, told mo,this day, that there are more deaths than he ever knew at any other period ; and the suffering exceeds anything I have ever witnessed. I hhve this day visited forty-four persons sick with tho fever, and by to-morrow, I do not expect to find ten or them alive. I am going from house to house, from ono scene of tho most appalling wretchedness only to seo another, worse, If that be possible, than the last. Death is all around me, in his most frightful form —yet my duty is a plain oue: not only to preach the gospel, but to help bodily the poor sufferer who has no friend. My dear friend, for God’s sake, help us Got what you can and remit it to mo for the •• How ard Association," (you know all about it, for you are a member,) and the poor will bless you. This morn ing I went into a lonely little hut, nnd there I found the father dead, tbo mother hugging her babe, only four clays old, to her heart, striving to nurse it, while tho black vomit was actually streaming from her mouth. Sucli are tho objects tor which I plead. The mother is since dead, tho babe la alive. 1 took it and got a black woman to bo its mother; not ono cent had these people. My friend, I could givo you a great many similar cases of suffering, but I forbear. You will, I know, help us to keep these poor dying creatures." b Wo should rcjoico to seo Borne action of our own citizens taken on this Bubject, which would only be in keeping with the spirit thatwo know largely exists among them. Who will begin tho good work?— Promptitude in tho matter will bo a virtue second only to liberal contributions. Execution.—Thomas Connor, a youth of less than eighteen years of age, was executed in Baltimore the 5th, for the murder of Wm. Hutchinson, of Ac- comao, Vo., in October last. In his first rail the rope broke, and he fell to the ground. He sustained no material injury, aud on recovering declared Iris inno cence of murder in the first degree. A report arising that tho Governor was in tho city, a messenger was at once despatched to acquaint him of what had hap pened, in the hope that he would interpose executive clemency, but it was found the Governor hud left for Annapolis. Tho unhappy man begged to have the execution proceed—not wishing to live. Tho second attempt proved successful. Twenty thousand persons were said to be witnesses to tho sad spectacle. Tho Board of Health, Norfolk, have issued orders for all vesseLj arriving from Now Orleans to remain at quarantine until they can bo overhauled. This precaution is of courso taken in view of tho alarming spread of the yellow fever in tho Crescent City. The total value of the foreign exports of Baltimore, for tho week ending on Thursday, was $148,010. The export of breadstuff* has been light, comprising but 6,720 bbls. of Flour,758 bbls. of Cora Meal,and 800 bushels of Corn. Of Tobacco 2,015 bhds. went for ward to Bremen and Amsterdam. Public DocuMENT8.-We are Indebted to the Hon. R. M. Charlton and to Senator Dawson, for some highly valuable publio documents. We tender them our thanks. Democratic Meeting.—It will be seen from tho announcement at tho head of our columns, that the Democratic meeting called for to-night, has been postponed until next Thursday night. Gov. Cobb.—This gentleman was, on Saturday last, ns we learn from the Philadelphia papers, in that city,a guest of Pierce Butler, Esq. Post Master General Campbell left Washington on tho 4th, for tho North, intending to bo absent for a week. Arrival of Giraffes—Two living”giraffes, one measuring 17 feet, and tho other 15 feet, in height, arrived in New York In tho steamship Washington, from Bremen. They are said to have been brought from Egypt at an expense of $25,000. J. J. Seiblea, U. S. Charge dos Affaires to Belgium, and Win. Campbell, U. S. Consol to Rotterdam, left on Saturday last for their respective stations in the steamer Atlantic, from New York. A Duel Frustrated «t Boston. At tho Meagher festival on Wednesday'night, somo feeling of enmity is alleged to have arisen between Capt. B. 8. Treanor, tho chairman of the meeting, and Mr. O’Donohoe, the recontly arrived patriot— O’Donohoe says tho chairman •' silenced ” him while speaking, and immediately the gas lights wore put out in tho hall. Treanor, hearing or O’Donohoe’a charges, sent ills friend, Lieut Kenny, of tho Shield’s artillery, demanding a written retraction. Captain Malcaby, of New York, who came on with O’Dono- boo. acting os his friend, decllnod the retraction. A challenge then ensued from Treanor, but the fact having become known, warrants were issued for the apprehension of both parties, and the police succeed ed In arresting O’Donohoe, who was nound over to keep the pe&ce. jlo attention ,, , __ . _ tho ipoooh u heretofore publlshod nt ImpeffleoUj speaker nor to the suWeoUnat there ahould exist any grdund for misoonoeptlon or misunderstanding as to the loutlmente actually avowed and the principles on whloh tboy were maintained. It woe under tbii con viction that we requested Col. Davis to supply tho omissions and remove the obscurities arising from the imperfections of the report. He has kindly compiled with our request, aud we now present it with a roll confidonoo that the positions announoed In regard to tho Pacific railroad wlIHrlthstand every assault that Ingenuity or talent can mako upon them .We present It as an impregnable document; and, os It Involves great questions of constitutional power and of uation- al Interest, we invito to It tho most scrutinizing at tention. It may not be impropor for ris to remark that Col. Davis draws clearly and emphatically tho distinction between works within a 8tato and those in the Unit ed States territory, and that he dlsolulms with earn- ostncBd all Idea of infringing upon the rights or ju risdiction of the States. It will bo seeu, too, that Col. Davis bos made no aliusiou to the question of the selection of routes, and in that particular show- iug that he is for the road, and not tor any particular route, as tho coutrolling cousiderattou. The Prosidcnt’d Gauiuut wad toasted, aud three cheera tor it were proposed by Hon. James Buclmuau, aud heartily responded to. lion. Jefferson Davla responded, and said that ho begged leavo, ou tho part of those members ot' the Cabinet who were present, to return their cordial thanks for the compliment teuderad them. They stood in the altitute of those who enjoy the advantage of reflected light; yet they did not think they were indebted for the consideration of those present merely because they wore members of tho Cabinet. It was rather because they were American citizens, and brought within the circle of Pennsylvania hospitality- that that compliment was bestowed on them. [Ap plause.) Thanks to the increased facilities of inter course, Pennsylvania hospitality was not to be limit ed hereafter, as it had been heretofore, by tho slow E regress of the old wagon and Conestoga horse, nor y the yet more rapid march o( the coach, nor by the yet more rapid means of tho railroad. No 1 Social ly, Pennsylvania was tied by lightning to every por tion of tho older settlements of tho united States, and with hor coat and iron sho was about to establish commercial relations with the slope of the Pa- cillo, and to took over into that unknown region of Asia which Includes China and Persia. [Tremendous cheering, which prevailed tor many minutes.] These were results to bo anticipated from tho foresight and energy of the people, not to be effected by stretch ing the powers of the Federal Government beyond their legitimate sphere. They know that he belong ed to the Btrlct construction school, whloh never turned to tho right nor to tbo left to servo any pur pose of expediency. The President (interposing) observed that ho wan certain of thnt. Mr. Davis resumed. Within the limits ol the States they would touch nothing in disregard of 8tato sover eignty and rights of jurisdiction; and in this bespoke not for himself nlono, but also for his honored chief.— [Applause.] But when they looked to their recent possessions on tho slope of tho Pacific, there were two things which arrested attention—tho conflicting in terests of a different commerce, resulting from tho want of easy and rapid communication, and tho dif ficulty of fulfilling one of the great ends ofour Union, tliut of giving aduqnato protection by mutual defence. Upon the pages of history» running back to the re motest antiquity, nothing is remarked more generally than that mountains have divided nations, nnd there fore it had been perhaps somewhat fancifully argued as tho light and shadow fell upon tho one side or the other, so would tho character of men bo modified and government changed. Bublmd lb nob been, in the progress of mind in its conflict with matter, that tho useful sciences in the United States had advanc ed, had gained additional force ; and had they not reached the period when they could triumph over this natural obstacle, when they could skip the mountains, tunnel them, or pass them by means known to civil Ysar or Pestilence.—Fot the year past, the yel- low fever has been raging with great virulence on the coast or South America and in a number or the West India Islands. At tho Island of Hayti, probably not leas than one hundred American officers and seamen have died, besides a large number of inhabitants.— At Jama ca. Demerara, Antigua, Ac., it has been very fatal. Tha West India English fleet has lost many seamen and several valuable officers, or the disorder.

Important Army Movements.—learn from an authentic source that two of tho four companies of the fourth regiment U. 8. artillery now stafloned in this harbor, have been ordered to tho Rio Grando — Two companies of tho third artillery, forming part of the garrison nt Newport, Rhode Island, are also under orders to the same point. Tho company of tho fourth artillery stationed at Oswego to be withdrawn, to re- placo in part the force takon from the posts at this port. These changes are consequent upon the advance of Santa Anna upon Oamargo, who, it Is s$ld, bu con centrated an army of six thousaud men in that quar- 9M$Vvo ter; and of.-whose movements , botaftUy tOfUedWintmaf lions of light should become to them os nothing ?■ [Great applause.] Ho bnd said that ho was a strict constructionist; but bo hud always mocked tho idea that tiic constitution had one construction within the limits of tho United States and another outside of them. [Applause.] Ho lmd already repelled the supposition tlmt tins Government could build a road outside of tho United States,nnd could not build ono within it. Our constitution was formed to bind the States together, to provide for the common defence, to concentrate the power of nil tor the protection of each, to throw their united shields over every State, over every locality, over every ship nnd Individual of tho Uuiou. [Great applause.] The other question, which involved the integrity of the Pacific possessions, was still closer to fraternal feeling and to sense of duty; it was one to which knew ho tho heart of Penn sylvania would respond ; it was the question of pro tection, which in her strength sho had always shown herself willing to throw over the weuk. In the event of a war with any of the powerful nutions of the earth California and Oregon uru exposed to attack. Fra ternity, chivalry, nnd constitutional obligation would continue tn claim for them adequate protection.— Could it, with our present means, bo given? Could we rely upon an extra-territorial line of communica tion? If the Pacific possessions should be threaten ed by a hostile tleet, tho Government would have no sufficient navy there to interpose for their protection, If tlmt. hostile fleet belonged to and fairly represented such a Power as England or France, it would take uli tlie navy of the United States to keep a road open which would cross either of the Isthmuses of this con tinent. And while tho navy of the United States was thi.i cinployod, what would be more easy than for such a maritime Power us either of these to strike at thoso possessions and rend them from these States, even in the extent of the gold regions which Iny behind the coast? If, then, as a purely military question, it Is necessary to have an inter-communication so thut tho Government munitions of war and men could bo thrown upon the Pacific for its defence, the applica tion of the war power of the Government to tins case would be within the strict limits of tho constitution.- [Enthusiastic anidauso.l But if it could be shown, and he always bold his opinion open to correction from any quarter, tiiat the.se means were not required, were not necessary— and by necessary he meant absolutely required—or if any one would show the other moans which would answer ns a substitute, how the duties of tho Govern ment could be performed without this auxiliary more effectively, more economical!v, with less exercise of the general powers of tho Government, then, ns a strict construction Democrat, he would accept tho proposition. [Applause.] Under every ingenious construction which had been placed upon the various powers of the Government to bend them to temporary convenience or individual advantage; under every ramification which ingenuity had suggested to sup ply by isthmus railroads and canals the wants of com merce resulting from that deficiency of intercommu nication, he had insisted that the end should he the discharge of a delegated trust, and tlmt the means should be necessary to the performance of the duty. To defend ami maintain the inhabitants and territory of our Pacific possessions was undeniably a delegated trust; and the question was, What means were ne cessary to tho discharge of the duty! In vain had it been attempted to bo shown him how the military power of this Government, which consisted in the siuews and strong hearts of its citizens, could be used on the slope of tlie Pacific, unless there was a railroad to transmit it. [Applause.] If, then, it could be done by such means only, and if that hazard existed on the shores of that ocean, he would say that the rest followed a3 a consequence. Within the territo ries belonging to tho United States the General Gov ernment could certainly construct roads for military purposes. This power, so long acted on, would not change its nature with tlie change of the material to bo used in the construction ; and it sorely constitu ted no objection if tho means employed for a legiti mate object should contribute to the increase and de velopment of Interests which they were not specially designed to promote. Whether by these or other means offectea, ho would rejoice in the fulfilment of tho anticipation that the smoko of Pennsylvania coal might be scon on the desert waste, beneath tho cloud- capped mountains, and Pennsylvania iron, with tho very stamp of her own foundries upon it, might ho seen creeping in n long serpentine track to the slopes of the Pacific. [Applause.] It was not Pennsylvania's mineral resources alono which were to.bo benefitted in connexion with these S eat works. Sho is the great agricultural State of u Union. Her mines ana manufactures, with their concentrated power, wielding political influence, have attracted attention greater than that which belonged to her agriculture; yet her agricultural interest was many times more important. Nay, more: Bhe had a commercial Interest which exceeded her mineral and manufacturing interests combined. And why should not commerce, the handmniden of agriculture, bear from her lingo and well-filled barns the accumulated store tor which the millions or Asia were suffering? Happy in tho unfailing abundance of their home, their only want was new markets to consume their surplus store. Not only free from wnnt, hut from the fear of it, their attention could safely bo turned to tbo suffering of other lands. And there was something which it seemed to him ought to swell the heart or Pennsylvania with pecu liar prido, when aho looked back to tho land from which her sturdy farmers sprung, and saw npon her own broad bosom those crops which could hush ths wall of hunger when the years of famlno came npon hor fatherland. The political temple she bad reared in tho woods of Penn stood with open portalB, from which went forth an invitation and a wolcome, not merely to a land of refuge, but of support. [Ap- He felt that the occasion was not one to wander into broad themes of discussion: he had trespassed too much already. [Cries of “ Go on! |go on!'] Mr. Davis, resuming. He would close by referring with their permission, to one who sat near to him, his friend, so long the representative of Pennsylvania, aud whoso name came unbidden when her name was mentioned. [Immense applause.] Ho gnvo the health of Hon. James Buchanan. Tho Mayor, who presided at the banquet, proposed the health of the Hon. James Buchanan, wuion was received with six cheers. The clipper ship Trndo Wind, for San Francisco, sailed from Philadelphia on Thursday, with a cargo valued at $1,000,000. This flno ship will Bail from San Francisco to China in ballast, and will return to Philadelphia with a cargo of East India goods. The Bulletin says: Tho Trndo Wind is ownod by Wm. Platt A Sons, of this city. This firm also own eight other ships, which havo boen for some time past trading between Now York and Ban Francisco and China. The whole fleet is to bo brought around to Philadelphia, and we may now look for a revival of the East India trade in this city. A company has lost been formed to build a railroad from tho city of Cincinnati to Indianapolis, along the Whitewater Valley. The Cincinnati Qazrttc states that the dispute as .to whether the ;road should go through Lanrol, or by yny of Metamora to Rushvllle, has boon settled by leaving the location of the route to thaengtoesw.who gretoselect tho shoctea^best, «nd cheapest rqoto,: MoNBiaou l’Intkunoncb t—I hive the honor to ad dress your Exccllonoy on the subjoot of a incut unfor tunate ocourrenoo, which I am informod by tho Consul of my Government in Smyrna, took pluco thoro on the 23d -inatvHid which 1 very deeply deplore, Idas- much os it resulted in tho death of a young officer of the Austrian Navy, who has thus, most probably, without in any manner having been tlie cause of the unwarranted attack made upon himself aud Iris com panions in Smyrna, beet the victim or tho most in considerate and unaccountable conduct of the Austri an Consul of tho, city towards an Individual .named Martin Costa. '' This person, at the present moment Incarcerated on board tho Austrian brig-of-war Hussar, notv at Smyrna, is, I believe, ono of tho Hungarian rofegees who had been detained at Kiutayah. Together with others, ho was permitted to leave this country in 1851, and ho proceeded with them to tlie United States, where he took the preliminary steps toward becoming a citizon oi the United States; that is, ho tnado ft formal renunciation or oil allegiance to any other Power or Sovereign whatever, nnd took the usual oath of allegiance to the Government of the United States. A tow months since M. Costa came to Smyrna from New York, witli tho design of again prooouriing to tho United States. In the afternoon of the list Inst., while seated ou the marina of Smyrna, he was suddenly set upon by somo fifteen ruffian Greeks,all armed, said to havo boon employed tor tlmt purpose by the Austrian Consul; ami after hav ing been treated in tho most brutal manner, was thrown into tho bco, where a boat was waiting to re ceive aud conduct him to the Austrian brig Hussar. M. Costa, on leaving the United States, received a legalized copy of the declaration which ho lmd mado there of allegiance to the Government of tho United States, and which document, under ordinary circum stances, would recommend trim to the friendly aid ami consideration of tho American authorities. It cannot bo couoelved boro that this individual’s temporary residence in this oity of Smyrna could possibly oxcito tbo animosity of tho Austrian ConBiri to such a degree os to cause him to employ a band of armed ruffians to rittack him, at a moment when he evidently bad no reason to npprehend such an out rage, nnd to have him conveyed in an iguorainous manner on board an Austriau vessei-of-war. lt seems to me rather, that in caso his nresenco there incommoded tho Austrian Consul, tho latter, at the moat, would bavu called upon the Austrian au thorities to require his departure, and not, by an act of bo outrageous nnd inhuman a nature, cxcito the inhabitants of Srnyrnn, and, I do uot doubt it, also ot tho people of tlie united States. Permit me therefore to intorcedo with your excel lency in behalf of M. Costa, and to ask,* Ir not out of - the respect duo for the Government of the Sultan, whose territory has been so grossly violated by tlie conduct of tho Austrian Consul or Smyrna, at’least out of regard for tho Government to which ho has pledged uls allegiance, that your Excellency be pleas ed to give orders to tho commander of the Hussar for Iris immediate release, so that ho may proceed to tho United States. I avail myself of tho present opportunity of renew ing to your Excellency, the assurances of my highest respect, and most distinguished consideration; (Signed,) John P. Brown. M. Bruch to Mr. Brown. Buyukdeke, Juno 27. Monsieur lb Charge »’Affairs :—By your favor of thin day's date, you have demanded tlie liberation of a certain Martin Costa, arrested by orders of the Consul General of Austria, at Smyrna, on tho 22d inst. lean only attribute, sir, this intervention onyonr part to a mistake, as the individual in question is a native or Hungary, and has never cea-ed to be an Austrian subject, as results from Iris declaration made in presence of tho Consul of tlie United States at Smyrna. His arrest consequently took place in vir tue of the treaties which assure to my Government tho full and entire independence of its jurisdiction over all Its subjects in Turkey. You will easily understand then, M.le Charge d'Af- fairs, the absolute impossibility of complying with your request. 1 beg you to receive the assurance of ray high con sideration, Buuck. To Mr. Brown, Charge d'Aflhircs of the U. States of America. To the above, Mr. Brown sent tho following reply : Legation of the United States op America,)' Constantinople, June 29,1853. 5 Monsieur i.’Inteunonoe I havo just received the letter which you were so good ns to write me, un der date of tho 27th of tills month, on the subject of tho individual named Martin Costa, arrested at Smyr na on tlie 21st inst., by tho Austmin Consul. I am readily convinced, Sir, that the means adopt ed by tlie Austrian Cousul to effect the arrest of said individual could not merit your approbation; and, also, I do not tool myself at nil called upon to express an opinion upon the right which you mention as pos sessed by your Government over all its own subjects in Turkey. I feannot, however, deny myself the honor of once more addressing your excellency for the purpose of renewing tho official intercession which I have alrea dy felt it my duty to make in bclialf|tlris person ; nnd so as to enable your excellency to better appreciate the basis or my request, I have tlie honor to hand you (inclosed) the declaration which M. Costa made at New York on tho Hist of July, 1852, '• renouncing hiaallcglttucetothe Emperor of Austria,” and takinj an oath of allegiance to the tiovernmentof tho Unitei States or America. The right of expatriation and of naturalization is recognized, I believe, by the Government of Austria, as well os by other Governments; and it seems to me that the arrest (without again mentioning tho means which tlie Austrian Consul of Smyrna used to effect it) of the said Costa, upon the neutral soil of Turkey, after the act of allegiance made by him. will be re garded by the Government of the United States as being not only a very painful violation of those same rights of naturalization, but also, in consequence of my intercession, as a want of respect nnd regard to wards my Government, of which the impression will be removed with difficulty. I would not leavo your excellency ignorant of tlie preceding facts; but rath er, by commmricnting them to your excellency, re lieve myself of all the responsibility which the arrest of Costa, and tlie consequences which may grow out of it, may leave iu tlie mind of my Government and countrymen. It was on presenting this declaration to the consul ate of tho United States of America at Smyrna, and to this Legation, tlmt the said Costa was furnished with a tezkereh to come to Constantinople, and to re turn to Smyrna, whence he was to start fur New York. Since his arrival at Smyrna lie has resided in Turkey under tho protection of my Government, and it is a pleasure to me to be able to state thnt Iris con duct has always been irreproachable. His fidelity to his native land—the only crime of which he is accus ed-leads him to declare himself always an Hungari an, and to 6tute that he wishes 1 ven to meet his death ns such. Your Excellency will pardon me if I thus renew my intercession in lira favor. I beg your Excellency to be pleased to have him delivered over to tho local au thority of Smyrna, to be sent again to tlie United States. This act will be learned by the President of the United States,lam confident, with satisfaction, and prevent the painful and extraordinary news of his arrest being again fhe cause of the interruption of those friendly feelings between onr respective coun tries, which I sincerely have it at heart to reconcile and to cnltlvate. I beg yonr Excellency to receive renewed assur ances of my high consideration, etc. (Signed) John P. Brown. 3,668 wero admitted.

While out hunt ing with Mr. Allen, near St. Augustine, tlie parties separated in the woods and soon lost sight of each other. Mr. Alien, bearing a rustling sound os of the approach of a deer through a scrub near wiiich he was passing, fired on the first glimpso, at what he supposed to be the game in which he was in search of, but which proved to have been his friend, Mr. So. lana—the load of buok-shot entering the side of bis head and killing him instantly. Mr. Allen carried hla deceased friend on his shoulders for several miles to get him to the first house. His body was taken to St. Augustine and there interred. Mr. Honan,' onr own correspondent ’ of the Lon don Times,recently deceased, ottered tho following in the fulness of bis heart: " I know of no state, of slavery on earth like that attendant npon newspaper life, whether it bo as di rectors or subordinates. Your tank is never ended, your responsibility never secured, the last day's work is forgotten nt the close of the day on which it ap pears, andtho dragon of to-morrow waits open-mouth ed to devour your thoughts and snap up ono morsel more of your vexed existence. Be as successful os it is in the nature of things to bo—be indifferent to E raise, aud lion-hearted against blame—still will the uman frarno woar ont botore Its time, and your body, if not your mind, exhibit symptoms of dry rot."

Money, which a few months ago went a begging at 4 per cent, per annum, is now eagerly sought for on tlie beat securities, nt the legal rate of 7 per cent., nnd so on upward, to ra'es not exactly consistent with the usury taws. The Journal of Commerce cites as nn inatanco ol tho difficulty of realizing money upon prime securities, a snlo or assnved gold bars at ono per cent, discount, when tho coin could readily be obtained for it at half ono pci ct., subject to the delay of transmission to the mint. Tlie prevalent way of accounting for this, is to lay it to tho clinigo of tho bank operations preparatory to the com mencement of their weekly statements, a systematic courso of contraction having been pursued with a view of tholr figuring well before the public, when thoir report* shall lie made. This may have had some effect in heightening, but we doubt whether it is the sole cause of the present scarcity of money. Tlie pressure has been rather too severe and general to spring from such a source alone. Iw our estimation n variety of causes havo M to tho present results. Among them we may mention the con stant drain not only upon foreign capital here, but upon tlie means of our own citizens to supply the demand of works of internal improvement in nil sections of the coun try. which though in most instances good invesments, have unfortunately absorbed more capital than can be conveni ently spared from tho legitimate channels of business of this commercial city. Again, we are and have been importing very largely, and the umoiint necessary to be raised weekly for tho payment of duties, is of itself suilktent to furnish nn Important do- maud upon tlie means seeking temporary investment in the market, whilo tlie natural tendency of such figures as liiivu tately been exhibited in our custom house reports is to make prudent men pause and to render capitalists chary about greatly extending their loans. Tho general opinion, however, is that the present state of affairs is only temporary, and while no one expect* that there will be any speedy return to the low rales current somo time since, but little doubt is entertained that tho pre-ent rigidity will be very materially alleviated before long. Hie general aspect of tho business of the country is good, nnd gives strong reason for tho hope that these favor able anticipations nmy be realized.
