He is one of the soundest statesmen of hia age, ofuhicl jour country can boast. Gex. Cass's War Ses vices. The Pittsburgh American says: "When the gallant Col. Cass was told that he was included in the surrender of I lull, he bravely broke his sword. This was the wisest thing he ever did. It gave him the reputation of a martyr without any pain of suffering or danger ofyire so long as the war lasted. If he was called upon to join the army, his answer was iurnished ready to his hand. "I am a prisoner of war." If asked to obtain an ex change from among the many prisoners in our hands his reply was no less ready. "What is the use? My aword is broken." The surren der of Hull not ouly made his fortune, but kept him with a whole skin throughout the three years and more of the war. Our wonder ment is, that he was riot thought of for Lieut. General when that office was carpet making! He must have been as early a Colonel as Ben ton, and had seen some service at least he saw some enemy at the time each ran from t!ie other at Duck river, near Maiden.

The Locofoco Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun says in his last letter: ''Congress wil proceed to carry into effect, so far as they can within the short space to which the session will be limited, the stipulations of the treaty Military posts, for the protection of our vast acquisitions, will he established.

ARRIVAL OF THE MAIL STEAMER AMERICA.

SEVEN DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. The steamer America arrived at Boston on Tuesday night last, from Liverpool, in ten days and eight hours, including detention at Haliax. She left Liverpool on the 3d inst. We subjoin such details of the news by her as we lave received: Inland. On Saturday last, in Dublin, Mr. Mitchell, convicted of treason upon the previ ous evening, was sentenced to fourteen years' transportation; and immediately removed un der an escort squadron of cavalry to a steamer of war, which was in waiting to convey him to the convict depot, at hpike Island, in the Cove of Cork. His destination is Bermuda, whither ie has alreaJy tailed, to be incarcerated on board a dock-yard hulk. Intense excite ment prevailed in Dublin, up.to Saturday night, but lias since given way to a deep and solemn silence, which denotes stern preparation and resolve. A liberal provision will be made by the nation for the convict's family. Some detail disturbances hare taken nlace in London, at Bradford, Manchester, Leeds, and other places. Chartists liave been the chief in stigators oj. these tumults, which in every case liave been almost instantly suppressed, un Monday evemnga large assemblage ol chartists collected in Clerkenwell. in London, but at midnight they quietly dispersed. On Wcdnes day evening similar meetings took place, but the arrangements of the police, aided by a demonstration of the military, were so complete that the mob, wherever it appeared, was spec dilv scattered. The special force was called out to guard the out-skirts, and the same alacrity was exhibit ed by the middle classes as on the 10th of April. At Bradford a collision took place between the chartists and the police, and i great riot ensued; but the military restored or der, and enabled the police to capture the prin cipal ringleaders, many ot wnom have been committed for trial at Manchester. After va rious meetings of the confederated clubs and chartists, a general meeting was organized to be held on Wednesday, comprising large bod iesfrom the surroun.ling districts but the magistrates issued a proclamation forbidding it. They also prevented the Oldhamchartists from entering Manchester. A large body of military and police were drawn up, and the multitude was compelled to retreat. There can be no doubt that every deep-seated misery pre vails amongst immense bodies of the unem m m . l ployed people. JMr. Mitchells conviction is the general theme ol declamation by the ora tors who address the people on these occasions. The evil is becoming so great that we should not be surprised if tha government, throwing overboard all their preconceived principles, were suddenly to adopt an extensive scheme of emigration; certainly efforts were being made to stimulate such an enterprise, but the government is quiet, passive as yet, with regard to any comprehensive measure of relief. The price of bread is very low, which doubtess mitigates much distress, but the mercan tile derangements of last year are now telling deeply upon the working classes of England generally. The papers relative to the dismissal of Sir lenry Bulwer have now been laid before the arliameut. The London journals opposed to the English ministry admit unequivocally that Sir Henry Bulwer gave no provocation what ever to the Spanish Government; that there is no presentable charge or complaint against him; and that the pretext that the JNarvarez Cabinet ouiy wiMieu lue amoassaaor to quit .uacirm to save him from assassination is false and worth less. Commercial and Financial. The improved tone exhibited in the general character of trade up to the close of last week has been fairly maintained lor the last lew days, notwithstan ding the constant augmentation of continen tal intelligence by no means conducive to an expression of the prevailing feeling. Uniniti ated derangements on the continent have greay aggraved the feeling of alarm caused by dis orderly manifestations at home, and a reaction, though trifling, has of consequence been pro duced. On monday and the two following days an insubordinate spirit was displayed iu Xionnon. some parts oi lorxsmre, ana me neighborhood of Manchester, by armed assem blages of Chartists and R-psalors, who, with the avowed objectof making a sympathetic de monstration iu favor of Mr. Mitchell, whose fate is noticed above, and exhibiting a publicdefiance of the government, have effected a con siderable deal of mischief, the immediate re suits of these demonstrations have been an al most suspension of business in the several locall tics the wanton destruction of some fac tory property, the compulsory closing of three or four large establishments, and collisions tvith the civil power, in which the police and special constables were beaten: the authorities however, having resorted to strong oppressive measures, the disposition to riot has, with the I J . 1 - k m m. aid or the military, been greatly checked; and now it is to be feared that perfect tranquility is lar iroin being restored. JNo lives were lost but several were wounded on both sides. The accounts from the manufacturing districts, tho' somewhat coidlictmg in many respecis, are not in the main, gloomy; operations for the last week have bee.i limited, being almost wholly ton fined to the execution of some United States and home orders, and a few for the G man markets. We are in receipt, by the Onraud Mail, of some demands for the In dia market, but not to any animating extent the manufacturing condition of the country is critical, and will continue so until the es tablUhment of continental harmony. The interchange of traffic with the U. States is at present the palladium of Great Britain. ine monetary condition of the country stil continues buoyant. Money is plentiful, ac commodation liberal, and discounts arc moder ate. The national securities are firm, though for the last day or two inactive. They have of course been materially affected by the va r ving announcements received from abroad the vicissitudes of trade at home, and the spec ...... .. uidutu opinions emeriainu regarding govern mental probabilities generally. An impression is generally acknowledge that the present ministry mi st abandon othce betöre the closing otthc session from the late defeats which they have sustained in both Hous es of Parliament, the growing unpopularity of the Irish policy, and the great inadequacy ol the revenue to meet the current demands of the State. The funds, after much oscillation during the week, opened well yesterday morning, with a large influx of money upon the stock market. The closing quotations were S3J to Sli for transfer, and 81 to J for account Bank stock isquoted 191; Exchequer bills 37a 3Gs premium. The condition ofthcbink of France is represented aj improiiug, though slowly. Business is exeve 1 i ugly depressed at Havre.

France During the past week tranquility

has been maintained in Paris under the vigorous administration of Gen. Cavaigniac, with a large body of regular troops under his command. The attempts which have been several . times made to create disturbances have been at once suppressed. The National Assemblysurrounded by an immense military force, sits daily, and appears bv degrees setting down to the i : r " .: 1 Tha .Uta.. uusiness oi piamcui icgiaiauvn. n m& nomination of the Assembly and Executive to break up the system of organization of labor.set on foot by M. Louis Blanc, has occasioned deep resentment amongst the recipients of the r . t f i - 'I'L - -....1. waizes oi tue ouie. iuc iixctuuc ui snuu a blow at the director of the ouvrurs, M. Emile Thomas, who succeed M.Louis Blanc in the administration of!the "Attier ISationanx. On the night of the 26th ult. M. Emile Thomas suddenly sent for by a minister of public works and superceded in his olhce by two civil engineers, and having been compelled to sign a resignation was sent off in the custody of two agents of police to Bordeax or the neigh borhood, the workmen demauded the rein statement of M. Emile Thomas in his func tions, and since that time the "rappel has been beaten almost daily. Large assemblages of workmen have been drawn together in va rious parts of Paris, but being kept in check by a . 4 s. the overwhelming lorce, both ol regular troops bud national guards, brought against them, all the efforts made to disturb the peace have been abortive. The persons actually receiving the wages of the State cannot be fewer than 1U0, OO'J. It is intended to draft a portion of these into the provinces, and thus break up the con federacy. The police have at length succeeded in cap turing the redoubtable Ulanqui.and also rlotte Whilst these notorious conspirators were at large, it was felt that no security existed for public tranquility.- The talents and indoinita ble audacity of Blanqui rendered him especial ly dangerous; but the trial of the prisoners now cenfined at Vincennes, together with the dis missal of the ouvrUra, has put the power of the Executive to a severe test. If, however, a good understanding prevails between the Ex ecutive and the National Assembly, we have no doubt they will survive this ordeal. The relations between the Executive and the Na tional Assembly are at length settled. The members of the Executive must attend the As sembly when forty members require it. They have, however, a special right to be heard, but theyare exempt fiom 'general attendance. The article relating to the measures of defence of the Assembly, has been finally passed, by specifying in the clause that the President of the Assembly has a paramount right ot issuing the proper commands in case of urgency and necessity. This contest has thus ended by the declaration that the Assembly shall protect it self and not owe its protection to the Execu tive authority. Lamartine, perceiv;t?g the eeluig of the Assembly, acquiesced in the de cision. It is stated that the committee appointed to draw up a constitution has decided unanimous ly u pon the e x ped ie ncy of ha v ing bu t one Cha m ber and a single President, both theresnlt ofdi rect popular elections by universal suffrage. ine number ot members to tue unamoer is ai so undicided, but it is said that the present will be incapable of re-election, and must have at least two millions of voles. There can te no doubt whatever that the complicity o Louis Blanc iu the conspiracy of the 1 5th o May has been established in evidence before the miuister of justice and attorney general. these authorities have demanded of the Cham ber the liberty to prosecute him, and in spite ot the alleged opposition of the Executive committee nas ueen appointed 10 report on . . . " 1.1 A the case. lhe Chamber has been thrown into great confusion by this proceeding. French disturbances have broken out at Ly on. It is stated that M. de Circuit has been appointed minister to the United States. The Pans journals of Wednesday represent conti n ued distrust. The same enormous force con tinues to guard the Chamber, theLuxembour the Castle of Vincennes, and all thec hief points where danger is threatened. A committee o eighteen, one lor cam bureau, had been an a pointed to consider the propriety of impeach ing Louis Blanc. The prosecution is looked upon with disfavor. The Assembly did not si on the 1st inst. The subcommittee of finance has recommended the rejection of the miuiste rial scheme with regard to the railways. x'rince lxmis rapoieon. wno visited raris incog, three days ago, has received orders to quit. Baron Rothschild's model farm villa has been burned by incendiaries, in pursuance of the system, a detail of which was found in Blatiqui's papers, viz: to destroy ihebourgtoiau ; I i. .1 i . I Dy extinguishing creuu, tnrougn perpetual outrage and confusion. It is supposed the fright ening away of M. Rothchild will b a great blow at tnc unanciai means oi the uovern ment. Continental news is rather less warlike. Prussia has discovered that the occupation o Jutland could not be tolerated and she has withdrawn her troops. A violent street riot arising out of the disputes so frequent in that city arose in Berlin on the 26th. The national guard charged the people and a good many were hurt. Order was uot restored until an early hour of the next morning.. Impoetant Suit m to Divorce. A case has been entered we understand in one of ou Courts, says the N. Y." Express, having for iis object to dispossess a lady and her six cbil dren of an estate worth at least SI 00,000 left by her last husband, the father of 'die chil dren. The claim is made by the son ofa former wife of deceased, whose mother obtained a divorce from his lather several years ago and he now claims to bj the sole heir on the ground that his father not being authorized to marry tfgain the second marriage was void, and that the la dynow iu possession of the estate, and her children, have no legal interest in it whatever The case, we understand, is a peculiarly hard one to the second wife and her children, the latter of whom liave been educated, and hav ing looked forward to an abundance whil their father lived and an inheritance in the es täte on his death, have not prepared themselves i . . . . . i i i . . . uy any avocation to obtain a uveunoou. it j said the second wife heard of the divorce pre vious lo her marriage, but supposed it was in fa vor of her husband nn.l that her m.irriarr, was perfectly binding and legal. As the law of divorce separates the parties, and provides no penalty if the defendant marry again, a question will arise probably, as to the strength of the law in pronouncing the second marriage illegal, and punishing the wife, (who was married in due form, according tolaw)and her children, by taking from them every dollar thev possess, and which has been earned, we understand, mostly during the second marriage. This is an interestingjcase.but we do not think the decision doubtful. The court must decide in favor of the validity of the second marriage for the sake of public morals, The law will never bastardize children, when it can be avoided.

From the Cincinnati Commercial.! A NEW TELEGRAPH.

The editor of this paper has baeu engaged or some three years in getteng up a telegraph that he thinks is superior to Morse s, masmucn as it is simpler, faster and far more accural-. As he has taken the necessary steps io secure the invention by Letter ratenland Copyright, he is of ODiniou that a public description ac cording to request of his friends, would be proper. . Our TelegraDh is called a 4Telegraph Reg ister,' because iustead of marking for the sig nification of Letters or printing them as is now the case on the Telegraphs iu use, it does neither, but points out figures, signs, charac ters. &c. which are placed on revolving dans: he machines are built as lollows: An electro magnet is placed in one end ofa frame; from the magnet a leaver extends to an escapement wheel, placed on a shaft. In the escapement. attached to the end of the leaver that crosses a ulcrum from the magnet, is placed a perpen dicular lever that reaches from one inside of the escapement to the other, so arranged that when it-is raised or lowered it moves theshaft on which the escapement is hung half a tooth. On the same shaft is placed a dial, having the indices, fisures. letters, or characters used for conveying intelligence between distant places. A spiral spring is hung to toe escapement eud of the lever extending Iroin the electro magnet to the escapement. One machhine is, for in stance, placed in this city, another in Louis ville. Wires pass connected with a battery, so as to form a circuit. The magnets at both places draw down the levers forcing the per dicular lever into the upper part of the escape ment wheel. The circuit is then broken, and the spiral spring draws the escapement end of . .....l :f a . the lever down, passing a loom oi lue esscap ment, assisted as lhe operation is, by a weight being hung around the shall of the dial and es ca pement, by a cord which is wound up like a clock. The breaking and forming a circuit of electricity moves the dials in exact accor dance however distant they may be, transmit ting figure, letter, or character, by indicating at a distant point the same sign that is presen ted on the dial before the operator. In short. the two machines, howeverdistant, move pre cisely alike, indicating at the same instant the same letter or sign, lhe operator, or the per son sending the message, halts temporarily at the letter or figure that is to be vntten off at the other end of the line. Theii moves on again to another one, and so on through col umns. lo snow one combination we copy the following: l.ND:cr-s 0 1 23 4 on Cuutiss' TEi.toraruic ReoistiTv fO 123 4 1011 12 13 11 2J 312333130 3 Comhina- laeioubcdfghjk Im it tioiu. 1 323331404142434101 02030110 t qrstvwxyx Enu rod according to net of Cjngress.by L. G.Ccr; Tis, in the Llerk. a Ulhco of U fc. Lourt, al llumliua. U.I On the dial, tliat moves, as before present cd, half a tooth, (or about one-eighth ot an inch on the periphery at a time) are placed the figure U12 34U12 3401 2 3 4UI 234 suc cessively around the entire dial to place of be ginuing, each dial being alike in figure and in distance. Connect the circuit of electricity, and the magnet and levers move the dials euch half a tooth, or about one eighth ol an inch bringing before a stationary pointer, which is placed in iront oi wie dial, ine ngure uetireu If it be figure 4 on the dial it will be under stood as the letter u. IfO.it will be under stood a; 21 would signify m, 40 t, 101 the pe nod (.); between the letters are placed spaces. so that no confusion in transmitting letters figures, or words can occur. We have a great vanctv of figures, characters. &c.. includin 0 w . V short hand, short spelling, &c. The escapement by which our Telegraph ma chines are moved is one of our own iuventiou and differs entirely from those used in clock? watches, and chronometers, and is pronounce valuable invention as an escapement lor time pieces. W e shall in taking out a patent, make it a separate nAf. Our lelegraph ma chines are now, and will be kept for some time in the editorial room of this office, where they have been worked for a week. They per form with accuracy and despatch, fully demonstrating the new principle. They were built by F. Hall, in this city, to our order and di rection, and cost S 100 each, with battery and wires. With regard to the accuracy of this new Telegraph, there can be but one opinion it is correct. In speed it is sufficient to say that it is capable of reporting between distant points about two columns ot the Commercial per hour! We have already demonstrated, by actual work, that this can be done, being a speed of at least six tunes thatof the Telegraph lines now in operation iu England and America. It is our intention to reserve on all lines which may use our Telegraph, the right of the press to use the same one hour each day free of charge, other than paying men to prepare their news and to work the machines. I his will give to newspapers a large amount of tel egraph matter at a very small expense. Thü Cholkka Accordiugto iho last accounts from Europe, the Cholera has broken ut, and with unusual severity both at Moscow and Constantinople. The crews of the merchant ships have suffered severely. At Has Keui (Turkey) the mortality has been so reat that several Jewish families of the village have left thoir habitations and encamped themselves in the plains of Kiat llano and Ali Bey Keut. It appears that during the last year 300,000 persons had been attacked ind about 100,000 had perished in Russia. In certain towns in Russia, comprising a population of 41 12 15 persons, 21,295 had been attacked, of whom 1 1,33 1 had died, the number attacked being I to 11)5 of the population. In nearly the same towns, but with a smaller population, 305,329, the number of sick on the former visitations in the year 1830-31, was 15,550, of whom 9,018 died, the number of sick being then 1 to 193 of the population. The late course of the dis eas3 in Ilussi-i is agreed to have been in all respects similar lo the course in 1S30-.1. It was than abated by the frost, and reappeared with the spring. It was hoped thai it had spent its force at the period when the frosts set in, but its revival at widely diitant points, under smiling circumstances to the former, is regarded with groat interest by the medical authorities, and gives its own warning, which it is to be hoped, may not be unhcede d.

The Kings of tue Eautii Growing Civ-L.-The kings of the earth are growing prodi 'iousl? civil, polite and yielding. The ac

commodating coon that only wanted to be convinced that it was really Capt. Scott, to come down from a tree, was a mere caution n civilitv to the monarchs of Europe, who for j roars past have been grinning defiance at the people from their exalted eminence. The creat King of Austria with his army of' 200,000 armed men, knocks under to a mere "mol' of school boys and bloused laborers, who throng the streets ot Vienna, ana in aeference to their wishes sends away by night that wise old owl, Prince Metternich, without even a change of linen. Frederic William of Prussia, a genial, liberal well fed old coon, ia disturbed overihe tenth bottle of Rudesheimer by a great out cry ift the streets of Berlin. "Vat dues thoy yant," he hiccups to the water. '! hey waut freedom of the press, a convocation of the Diet, and a liberal suffrage." 44 Let thctn have them all," responds tho obliging monarch, who returns again to his never-failing solace. Bang! Bang! Drum! Drum! Rattle! rattlel 'What's all that fuss,11 again exclaims the genial monarch. The soldiers bare fired upon the people and killed many of them. "Oh, very bad; let us go out and shed some tears over the dead.11 Accordingly the easy King goes forth and wails hideously over the dead bodies of the slain says his soldiers have made a great mistake, and he will give the people every thing they want. Bui the Prussian and Austrian monarchs can't hold a candle in point of civility and politeness to Leopold of Belgium. When the enlighten ed king heard of the French Revolution, he told his Ministers to inform the people, in the language of Peter Brush the seedy statesman, ministerialized by the Charcoal Sketch es of Joseph G. Neal, "that he wasn't no body." He was a clean goner," and he was ready to sink into Ins original insigniha cance whenever the people desired it. Sweet tempered kings! Accommodating rror.arch.-! May your shadows never be less! Newsaieu Patrol a ok. This filing called Nowspaper Patronage is a curiour thing. It is composed of as many colors as a rain bow, and as changeable as the hues of the chameleon. One man subsciibes for a Newspaper, and pajs iu advance he goes home reads ii the year round with lhe ptoud satisfaction that it is his own. He hands in an advertisement asks the price and pavs for it. This is Newspaper patronage, . Another man has been a subscriber a Ions time. He becomes tired of you and wants a change. Thinks he would like an Eastern Dollar Weekly.' Tells the Postmaster to discontinuo and one of his papers is re turned marked "refused." Paying for it is among the last of his thoughts. Besides he wants his dollar to send to an Eastern Publisher. After a time you look over his account and send a "balance due' Bu t does he piy it cheerfully and freely? We leave him to an swer. Yes, this, two is newspaper patron age. Another man lives near you never took your paper, it is small, (compared withsomo overgrown and sickly sentimental dollar ;) don't like its editor; don1! like the politics; too whiggish, too locofocoish or too some thing elso yet goes regularly to his neigh - , ö, l.b, .

This, too, is newspaper patronage. Another sports a fine horse or perhaps a pair of them is always seen with whip in hand and spur on feet single man no use for him to take a newspaper knows enough. Finally he concludes to get married does so sends a notice of the fact, with a "please c py and send me half a dozen copies." 'Tis done does he ever pay for either no-" lice or papers? No. But surely you don't charge for such I hings !" Thi? , too is newspaper patronage. Another man, (bles3 you it does us good to see such a man and we see them sometimes, but we have none such lately,) another man comes and says, "lhe year for which I have paid is about to expire; I want to piy for another.'1 He does so and retires. Reader! is not newspaper patronage a cuiious thing? And in that great day when honest men are to el the reward due to honesty, which say you, of those enumerated above will obtain thai reward? Now it will readily bo seen, that while certain kinds of patronage are the very life and essence of a newspaper, there are certain other kinds which will kill any paper atone dead. Pbobablk Suicide. A young man calling himself Peter Callagus, took passage on the steamer Phoenix at Evansville, Ind., for this city. Shortly after getting on board it was discovered that he was laboring under an alienation of mind. Two stout Irishmen were detailed to take care of and prevent him from jumping overboard, he having made several attempts to destroy himself by this means. On Friday morning last he was missing, and it was generally believed that during fhc nighl he hid thrown himself into the river and found a watery grave. Late in the day, however, his body was found lying across a beam of wood in the hold of lhe boat, dreadfully mangled, having no doubt been caught between tho pitman shaft and wheel, where he was crushed to death St. Louis New Era. . A Wise Reccj.atio. Among the private instructions which Bonaparto gave his attendant, one was very curious. . "During the night," said he, 4enter my chamber as seldom as possible. Da not awake me when you have any good news to communicale; then theic is no hurry; but when you bring me bad news, rouse me instantly, for then there is not a moment to be lost." This was a wise regulation, and Bonaparte found his advantage in it.
