FEAR is lending wings to thousands of our people to flee from this city, and the exodus increase in volume daily. The fact is that the record of death from summer diseases is growing to almost huge proportions, and on every side one hears of two frequent cases of sudden and violent sickness. Our oldest and more carefully reliable physicians hesitate not to warn their patients against the too frequent indulgence of ice water, and the exercise of extreme carefulness in eating vegetables not fully ripe. THE HEAT has really been tremendous the past week, and it has been no uncommon sight to see persons falter on the walks, droop and sink under the wilting effects of the sun’s rays, and even die before medical aid could be ob tained. Laborers who have been compelled to work in the open air have suffered terribly, The experiences of our THE STOltM ty years. The traditional Scotch ‘three drops to a bucket” was no- . comparison.

Humanity, drenched or not, felt grateful, and in thirty minutes it was over— old Sol again asserted his sway—the umbrel las that vainly essayed protection to their owners from the deluge were again spread to protect one’s brains from being roasted, and, with hopes of more cooling showers, the crowd again languidly pursued its way.

Musquitoes have arrived in Jersey, and will reach us afflicted mortals next week, doubtless. A COOL EAST WIND and lowering clouds, to-day, are refreshingly appreciated, and admiringly hailed by our grateful Community. Thermometers are not as much in demand this afternoon, and with a prospect of rain we hope to retain un singed cuticles and have riper tomatoes next week. The only procession satisfactorily viewed the past week lias been that of ice- carts. Vale. [From Wimer and Smith’s European Times, July 7.] Marriage of (tee Princess Helena at Wind sur Castle. On the 6th the Princess Helena Augusta Victoria, third daughter of her Majesty, was united in marriage to his Boyal Highness Prince Christian of 8ohk>«vrig- Holstein-Souderbourg Augusteuburg. The ceremony was performed in the private chapel attached to tlu- royal apartments in Windsor Castle. It was nearly 12 o'clock when the distinguished guests began to arrive, but before that our officers ot the hoqjeaoid and yeomen of the guard weiv moving in and ent and -Dreaktuc the stillness of the little chapel.

Meanwhile, the members of the royal lamily and other royal and illustrious visitors were assembling In the White Drawing-room, the bride- being in her Majesty's private upartmeuts, and her suite in the adjoiuiug corridor. Prince Christian, with his supporters and attendants, occupied another of the grand suite of chambers known a9 the Red Room. The ladies and gentlemen of the Queen’s household assembled in the corridor built by George IV., to which point also the ladies and gentlemen m attendance npon the royal visitors were directed. The Ambassadors, Foreign Ministers, Cabinet Ministers, and others invited to be present at the ceremony as sembled in the Red and Green Drawing-rooms, aud thence were conducted to the seats provide for them in the chapel. On the first entry of the royal party there was a slight hesitation as to places, caused, no doubt, by the absence of his royal highness the Duke of Cambridge, through an attack of gout; but this was speedily rectified.

FUNERALS are fearfully numerous, aud the routes to the numerous cemeteries are actually crowded •with mournful corteges. Hackmen thrive— undertakers are overworked—coffins are get ting scarce—ministers are hourly called on to give the holy consolations of religion to bereaved households—aud grave-diggers have had to call in extra help. There is a dearth of hearses, and not only are many funerals restricted in the number of carriages, but they are compelled to take the coffins on the first carriage, and even some may be seen with a coffin in an undertaker’s open wagon. The average deaths since Sunday morning last, five days, in this city, have been two hundred per day, and God only knows how many have been brought to death’s door and barely recovered. How many of this great number have been prepared for this their final summons FI BE INSURANCE in this city has latterly become a serious ques tion. The frequency of large and. very de structive fires has excited much apprehen sion among the companies of this metropo lis, especially those of whose solvency there is no question. The very low rates at which policies hare been issued for the past ten years has had ita effect, and the best concerns of this city and New England have decided by their action in Convention to issue no more policies at a lesa rate than ten percent This is a pretty high premium, but Is con sidered as necessary under the circum stances. THE BOHEMIANS who were under orders to leave lor the seat of war in Europe this week have received counter orders to “wait swhile.” Since the publication of a recent map of the aforeeaid seat ot war, some of them have declined the honor, and prefer staying at home to risking themselves in such dangerous localities. LANDMARKS in this city do not stand long, now-a-days, against tbe innovations which the increasing business of the metropolis seems to demand- The well-known and gilded restaurant of Taylor’s, on the corner of Franklin street and Broadway, was sold last Saturday to the Merchants’ Union Express Company, Our lady friends who have been in the habit of sipping their chocolate and eating their ice cream at Taylor's will soon have to find an other resort, where their husbands’ money can be frittered away in gustatory nothings. ONE OF THE VICTIMS by the pestilenee this week, was Mr. Joseph R. RoUlnsoo, a merchant of this city, largely interested in the California trade. He was well known in Boston, and I believe was a native of that city or vicinity. He was in fine health and spirits during the day, and was tbe life of a party of friends during the evening—was taken suddenly with cramps at two o’clock this morning, while asleep, and died at nine o’clock.

Presence. * The Paris correspondent of the New York World furnishes that paper with an extended account ot the celebration of the 4th by tbe Americans in that city, from which we make the following extract: The Pre-Catelan, and enclosed garden in the Bois de Boulogne was hired for the oc casion. The weather, although not decided ly smiling, compromised iuto variable, and all was ready hy_the hour appointed, two o’clock: aud tbe guests upon arriving on the Ibwd, found an elegant pavilion, which, like Aladdin's palace, bad grown up in a night, ready to receive them. I be lieve it is only in Paris where wonders of this sort, on so large a scale, can be produced at so short notice. The chief gardener df the City of Paris, with the permission of M. Hau.ssuar, Prefect of tbe Heine, lent a thou sand plants for tbe decoration ot tho pavil ion, which seemed to grow out of a mass of luxurieut flowering shrubs. Tbe interior was also beautifully ornamented with flowers, the musicians' stand being concealed among their foliage. In front ot the"entrance was a large portrait of Washington, and at one end hung the portrait of the Emperor. Both inside and outside were placed at intervals a large numlier of shields, with the United States eagle upon them, sustaining fasces ol flags, American and French. The principal pavilion—-the ball room—was connected with a second, in which refreshments were served all day. A large number of American children are at present in Pans, and they formed a most agreeable feature in the fete. In honor of these promising scions of Young America, Dr. Thomas W. Evans, during a late inter view with tlie Emperor, informed, his Majes ty that we were to celebrate the Fourth and suggested that the American children would be honored and delighted to see the Prince Imperial umong them. The little Prince, com ing in at the time, was charmed at the invita tion, and begged that he might accept,it. The Emperor assented, and nbout 4 o'clock on the Fourth, the little fellow arrived in state, in one of the Court carriages, accompanied by his tutor, M. Monnier, and his ecuytr, M. Baohon. A great number ol tire ladies and gentlemen went out on the lawn to receive their distinguished guest, who was shown . .. .. ---.— * into the pavilion, where a seat was provided IV v'sihie ,-ity of Hartford, and not more than three; aud notea- just undei the pot trait of M ashing- L-eediUR two from the oitiea of Boston, Providence, | ton—his gentlemen standing behind him,and Dr. Evans at his left.

At a meeting ln New York, on Thursday, of the Presidents and other officers of Insurance Companies throoghoat tho United States, the following preamble and resolutions were adopted: Whereas, It is well known that the business of the fire insurance, in which is invested, in tbe United States, some JC.'.OOO.lHW capital, is from the prevalence of extremely low rates ol premium, aud from excessive losses, yrowing out of tho frequency of the fires dur ing the past two years, not only ncn-rcmuuerative to the stockholders*of many of these institutions, but threatens the impeachment of the capital and the con sequent withdrawal from the community of aufilclent guarantee against losses by fire, thereby affecting the interest of the princely merchant, who has . large amounts of property at risk, and the poor man, who owns only his homestead, sud who alike seek protec tion against the calamity of the possible destruction of their properly by ibc- devouring element, fire. Resolved, That it is a self-evident proposition that those who risk their capital in providing the meanB of insurance against loss by fire are justly entitled to re ceive from those whom they thus protect such rates of premium as will, after meetiug the losses, yield ade quate compensation for the hazard to which such capi tal is exposed; aud it is believed that those who seek such protection generally appreciate tbe laet, aud are disposed to uphold the companies in a reasonable ad vance of rates, as the true meaus of promoting their own security. Resolved, That tho greatly reduced rates ol pre- ciimu which have obtsiued within tbe last few years in conncctiou with the large amount of losses sus tained by the fire insurance companies in the United States within the past two years, have rendered a ma ture advance of premium necessary to a continuance of the business; aud it conscqudntly becomes the duly of those to whom the business of oonxpaniea is en trusted to adopt judicious measures to obtain by gene ral co-operation a suitable advance in the rate of pre miums. Tho resolutions were unanimously adopted, all pre sent giving their assent by rising. The Committee on the Constitution and By-laws re ported. The document as reported, provided tbst the association shall be known as the National Board ol Fire Underwriters of the United States, that any in surance company of this country, or any ageucy of a foreign company, may become members of the or ganization.

There was a pause of nearly ten minutes before the procession of the bride made its appearance, also heralded by a stately march, the tone taken fiorn Handel’s “Seiplone.” All present rose as the Princess, supported by the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, entered the chapel; aud the members of the different procession* which now completely occupied the standing room in the centre of the apartment, proceeded to take up new positions. The brido on entering the chupel was visibly agitated, but regained composure upon reach ing her place on the left-hand side of the altar; and subsequently made the necessary responses with a clearness and audibility calling to mind the charm of speeches from the throne in days when these were read by tLe sovereign in person.

Horhible Murder Near Wooduuhy, N. J.—Be tween one and three o’clock .on Wednesday morning, Mr. George Raymond, residing on his farm about ona mile from Woodbury, N. J., waa brutally murdered in bi« bed. Tho Philadelphia Ledger gives the following account ot the tragic affair : Mr. Raymond and his wife sat in the porch of their dwelling on Tuesday evening until near ten o’clock, when they retired to their room in the second story. Mrs. Raymond being unwell, Mr. Raymond sat along side of the bed and read until his wife fell asleep. He then went into an adjoining room and retired for tbe About three o’clock on Wednesday morning night. w , , T _ | Airs.

She felt for her an abandonment of the Struggle forthe Union; husband, and finding that he was Absent, got up aud runniug in scre affrighl to Niagara to hob- ; III nob with the Thompsons and Sanderses of the rebellion, and to patch up the terms of an inglorious surrender.” “Down the Hatchway.”—An English pa per tells this story: “One day, when the flagship of an English commodore was lying in the Bay of Naples, she was honored by a Visit from tbe King and royal family, with suite, who came out in gilded barges and the full parade of royalty. The ship was dressed from deck to truck iu holiday attire; side boys were mustered at the topes, the marines presented* arms, the guns thundered forth a royal salute, and the commodore welcomed his guests to the quarter deck with the po liteness befitting an officer of rank. One of tbe suite, a spindle shanked and gaudily- _ discovered, however, thst he wms dead, and her screams aroused one of tbe neighbors, wbo immedi ately ran to the house. Upou examining the de- < eased, it was found that be had been struck on the temple, chin and throat with an axe, which had been removed from the wood shed on the plsce. The axe was found in the kitchen down stairs, covered with blood, and a pair of boots belonging to a stranger wore found iu tho yard. The deceased was about forty-two years ot sge, and was Commercial agent to Balize during Mr. Lincoln's administration, but resigned on account of ill health. He was st ono time editor of the Whig, published in Blair county. Pa. The Wars ok Forty-nine Years in Europe.—a writer in the London Morning Star says; 4 *Tho follow ing statistics read with sad interest at this moment: Between the years 1815 and 1864, 2,782,000 men were killed in battle. Of these 2.148,000 were Europeans, aud 164,000 inhabitants of the other continents. Thus, during forty-nine years, the average annual number who thus perished amounts to 43,800 men, not in- uroauuc, “ ouia b »uu.ijr , duding the victims of disease engendered by the con- attired Neapolitan, strayed, away froui the sequences of war.

A Ulily Tran .action among Vrtt York Officials. An interesting case, illustrating the cor ruptness of city officials, has just come to light in Brooklyn^-A contractor deposes un der oath, that about a year ago be made an agreement with u member of the old Board of Health of Brooklyn, to the effect that he was to pay the said official five thousand dollars in consideration of a valuable contract for the removal of night soil, which contract the official was to procure by engineering an ordi nance, to that effect through the Common Council. The money was paid and the ordi nance was passed, but the Mayor, vetoed it. The aforesaid official thereupon retnmed four thousand dollars to the contractor, keeping the.balance for “services rendered.’’ After word the Conmoti Council passed the ordi nance over the veto, and the honest member of the Health Board then claimed the balance of his five thousand dollar fee. This the contractor refused to pay, nnd in revenge it seems that the official then used his power as a member of the Board of Health to crippl* the contractor in his work, which action nas led to the deposition in question. This case is not remarkable, for similar rascalities are constantly perpetrated by officials in this city. Long practice has made our official black mailers so expert in operations of this kind, however, that they usually evade direct ex posure. The Brooklyn case, therefore, is noticeable as an example of the way in which official swindlers operate.—X. Y. Sun. The Anti-Rent Troubles in New York. —Albany. July 20.—Reports from the anti rent district say “ ail is quiet.” The troops are still in. camp on Warner’s farm, tinder strict military discipline, and no dapredatioas upon private property are permitted. Two privates, who shot two sheep, were arrested, tty order of the commanding officer aad de livered into the hands of the authorities of the town. Some of tbe tenants against whom writs of ejectment have been loaned, have intimated that thev will, make a settlement of their indebtedness; and, to enable them to do so, tbe advance movement has been de layed. , 1 This afternoon a man was discovered in the act of poisoning a well from which the troops procure water. He, however, suc ceeded iu effecting bis escape, leaving the deadly compound on the ground. With this exception nothing of particular interest has transpired to-day.
