The ILunsuic Asylum. The recent discussion in the Board ol Supervisors on fixins the site of the now Lunulic Asylum, lias awakened public atlentioi. that matter, and will not, therefore, be without pood results. We believe that it would be a gross mistake in erect, the new building on the ground? of the county at Flatbush. Under the more humane system latterly adopted in the trealmci.t of lunatics anil which has been ettenileii with such eminent and surprising success, it has been deemed a matter of the first itnport.iDco lo select site which promises not only an extensive and pleasing view, but the greatest possible variety of nhjrcls and scenes.

The reasons for this are obvious. The limutic dwells on one set of ideas indeed this constitutes his malady; and to remove it, the skillful physician seeks to draw off his attention from himself. This may he done soraetimos by genial amusements; sometimes by a kind and affectionate interest in the patient; sometimes by furnishing agreeable occupation, and sometimes by pleasant and attractive views or by all of this combined. It will, therefore, be readily perceived how much the scenery of a river i.r a bay would aid in advancing the cure In such a place the constant passing of ships and steatueis and oilier water craft, gives variety and life to the view, and affords those objects of attention which seize on the mind and give it respite from its gloomy brood ngs. Another important objeel to be secured, is se clusioD.

Our Asylums bear a common testimony to the bad effects of causes of strong excitement the hum of business, the noise of carts of eteam whistles and of bells, the interruption of visi tors, the awakening of passion, and all kindred influences. Au Asylum properly constructed, should, therefore, have ample grounds to which there would be access only through the keepers lodge ahould be wholly removed from the hurry, noise, excitement, and other annoyances of the city and located, if possible, on some river or bay where ere is variety to catch the eye, and the objects ate not forever the same, but constantly changing and presenting new occupation (o the eye and new food for the mind. We have no site to recommend but as our city is rapidly extending, and there is no telling how soon a site located anywhere thin its bounds may be overtaken by the march of improvement" and Btirrounded by city wc beg to submit whether some location cannot he found along our extended shore, outside of the city bounds. The Bloomingdale Asylum, located some seven miles from the New York City Hull, has been or is to be removed on account of the encroachments of city improvements and if, as all the statistics of growth show, a new city (so to speak) larger than the present Brooklyn, is to bo set down in cur midst within the next ten years, it becomes those in charge of this building sn to locate it as not to have it immediately disturbed by the cutting of new streets and the buildini; of long rows of brick dwellings. We tru tthat there will be no haste about making this purchase, and that the best possible location will be chosen.

The New Jcrsc'7 Legislature made an appropriation of ten thousand dollars for the purchase or the grounds for their asylum and the commission. ers, on looking around for the mo.it j.ictureique and appropriate spot, found a spot lo their mind about three miles up the Delaware from the city of Trenton its cost, however, exceeded the appropriated, and ihu balance was obtained by private subscription. It stands on a hill with a deep and beautiful wood behind it, and has a sur. rounding view of many miles, with Trenton in the distauce, and the rich valley through which the Delaware courses its devious way, spread out like a map before it and looking like a well cultivated, well watered garden. The building is 480 feet long, and tastefully constructed and the grounds are handsomely laid out, the work having been done under the eye of the best landscape gardener in the United States.

The farm attached to the asylum embraces, if our memory does not us, about one hundred acres. For so cx teusive a farm, however, there, is but. little uee i and we suppose that the number of acres named in the debate which wc published yesterday would be quite sufficient. The great point is to secure location which will co operate with the skill of the physician in the curative process and this we trust will be the object towards which the committee, having the matter in charge, will direct their particular attention. AnoiEier Ti lliirtiiln.

We are gratified in being able to announce the arrival of the Collins steamer, Baltic, this morning, nt a few minutes past six o'clock, in dags and thirteen hours from Liverpool which is the short est passage that has jet been made. The trip of the Baltic outward was also the shortest on record with the exception of one made by the Pacific' She passed from dock to dock in a little over ten days. We trust that this noble specimen of of American skill will be taken to the World's Fair, to fill up the vacant space in tbe American portion of the Exhibition, The Baltic brings font days later news, which is, however, of but little importance politically. Cotton was steady at former prices. She brings the mails.

The new Constitution of Virginia, which will undoubtedly be adopted, requires nothing of the voter except that he be awhile male, over twenty one, resident in the State for two years, and in the county or city where ever be offers lo vote for oue year. It is thought that this will ire than double tho number of voters in Virginia. Painful Intelligence. Information reached this city lost evening that Rev. D.

Ohn, president of the Weslyan University at Middletown, was in la dying condition. He has been ill for some time past, but hopes were entertained of his re recovery. Commercial Adv. The Last Fourth of July. The Eagle never lets an opportunity pass in giving "an Irishman a rup over the knuckles.

The only time that tho Eagle pronounces I'atrick a eentlemaii, is within lew days of an election. When the votes of the of Ei in are required, never was a dearer friend in Irishmen than the Eagle. The election over, it indulges in such language as the following, in speaking; of Irishmen, No man ever heard an Irishman say, by Jabers." No man ever heard a true Irishman Fpeak, but what it was to the purpose. Then why should the Eagle come out and ridicule the very men that helped it into office We appeal to our Irish born citizens, whether it.is just. Wc copy from the Eagle the paragraph to which we (specially allude.

Tat read it the writer is your democratic friend The Last Fouitrn. The Fourth of July. The glorious Fourth is sure to britigorM some freaks amongst the experimenters in rockets, Roman candles, We were no', a little amused on the eye of Ihe Inst anniversary, while witnessing a verdant son oi the Emerald Isle trying to set olf a Roman candle He had seen others set them off, and was delighted as he viewed the balls flying through the air. Trying his own hand, however, and lighting a large one, he held it up while it fizzed away a minute or two, but no ball ascended. By Jabers, this must be a mock candle, sure there'.

not a ball at all in the whole thing," as lie brought it directly under his at the same time looking in to see where the ball could be, when out it came with a loud report, carrying away his straw hat. Pat threw down the eandle, and swore loudly that his head had gone with the hat he however luckily escaped injury, and will, in all probability, be more careful how he meddles with fireworks on the next Fourth of July. If there bt anything in the above quotation, which we take from the Advertiser of yesterday, calculated to give offence to Irishmen, it is in the preface with which the editor introduces the article and not in the anecdote itself. An Irishman is as liable to make mistakes as an ilher man but so far from hiking offence at being told so, he will laugh at Ins own blunders as heartily as if they had been perpetrated by atiothei. We do not sec therefore, why the Advertiser should accuse us of "giving an Irishman a rap over Ihe knuckles'' by having published the above paragraph.

But allowing Irishmen tr be as sensitive as the Adverli ler supposes, Low will their sensibilities be excited when we positively assure them that the paragraph which the Advertiser pretends to have copied from this paper is a fabrication of its own as we never published a single line of tho whole ar ticie. It is one of the basest attempts to cast cen sure upon us by inventing a story of which itself is the solo author, that wo have ever known to be perpetrated, and we hardly know which to admire most the baseness that could have dictated such acontemptible proceeding, or the stupidity that could suppose it would not be detected. It is now evident enough, presume, who it is that attempts to mako capital out of the Irish vote. Visit to the Navy Yard. Yesterday the Mayor and Common Council of New York visited the United States frigate St.

Lawrence, lying in the Eist River at the Navy Yard. They were received by Captain the commander of the vessel, who had a collation prepared for them which was liberally discussed by the Aldermanic guests; after which wine and toasts were drunk and speeches made by all who felt oratorically inclined. The St. Lawrence is the vessel which conveyed the Artier icmi contributions from this neighborhood to the World's Fair; and the principal topic seemed lobj her voyage to England and the reception which the captain and crew received from John Bull This reception appeared so gratifying to some of the parties that according to their speeches yesterday it "'had almost persuuded Iheru to become Britons. Judge CitmpbolJ, of New York, assured the officers that "they spoke but the seutiments of the people at large in their response to the sentiments expressed by the English people on the occasion of their la visit lo England." What sentiments did he allude to as expressed by the English people i tho sent iii.

Immense Immigration.

Tennessee Election. The majority for the Whig candidate for Governor is 7,000. The Whig majority in the the Senate is seven, and in the House three. Tbe Whigs also gain one member of Congress. In the Vlth District, Major William H.

Polk, (brother of the late President Polk,) a delegate to the Nashville Convention, has been elected to Congress, over the late member, James H. Thomas. The following from the Tribune, will confirm what we said yesterday about the election of Governor of Kentucky Backward Lurch. It is now reported tlint Powell is elected Governor of Kentucky by from 5011 to 1,500 majority. We suspect the story is loo true.

We have not seen better specimens of this delicious fruit at any season than those that are now pre sented for sale.

We understand (hat Governor Pennington and Asa Whitehead have both volunteered to assist Margaret Gurrity in her defense, and thai they both have been deeply interested in the story of her wrongs, and think that she ought not to suffer. Mr.

Whitehead was much affected by his conversation with the pi isoner, and public sympathy is wholly on her side. We were strongly reminded of her case by the following account of a trial in the Old Baliy, in London Lord Chief Justice Tindul presiding: George Hammond, a porltuit painter, was placed at the bur, to be tried on an indictment found against birn by the Grand Jury for wilful murder, with malice aforethought, of George Baldwin, a rope dancer and a mountebank. The prisoner was a man of middling height, hut slender form. His eyes were mild and blue. His whole being gave evidence of subdued sadness and melancholy resignation.

He was forty one yeats of age, had a solt voice, and his appearance and manner bore testimony to his being a man of dis tinguished education, in spite of the poverty of his dress. On being called on to plead, the prisoner admitted that he did kill Baldwin, and he deplored the act, adding, however, that on Ins soul and con science, he did riot believe himself guilty. There upon the jury were empanelled to try the prisoner. The indictment was then read to the jury, and the act of killing being admitted, the government rested their case, and the prisoner was called upon for his defence. The prisoner then Addressed himself to the court and jury.

"My loitl," said be, "my justification is to be found in a recital of the fHcts. Three years ago I lost a daughter, then four years of age, the sole memorial loft of my beloved wife, whom it had pleased God locall to himself. I lost her. but I did not see her die, as had sect: her mother die. She disappeared she was stolen from me.

She was a charming child, and but fur her I had nobody in the world to love me. Gentlemen, what I have suffered cannot be described you cannot comprehend it. I have expended in advertising and fruitless searches every ibing I possessed furniture, pictures, en to my AJ1 have been sold For three yais, and on foot, I have sought for my child in all the cities and all the villages of the three kingdoms. As soon as by painting portraits I had succeeded in gaining a little money, I returned to London to recommence my advertisements in tho newspapers. At length, on Friday, Ihe 14th of April last, 1 crossed tho Smilhfield cattle market.

In the ecu tru of the market a troupo of mountebanks were performing their feats. Among them a child was turnmg on its head, its legs in the air, and its airy head supported by a b.ulberd. A ray from tlie soul of its mother must at that moment have penetrated my own, forme to have recognized my child in that condition. It was my poor child. Her mother would perhaps have precipitated he'self towards her, and locked herself up in her arms.

As for mo, a veil passed over my eyes. I threw myself upon the chief of the rope dancers. I knew not how it was habitually genile, even to weakness, seized him by his clothes I raised him in the air, then dashed him to the ground then; gain, lie was dead. Afterwards I repented what 1 bad done. At the moment I regretted that I wus only able to kill but Lord Chief Justice Tindal "These are not Christian sen timents.

How can you expect the Court and Jury to look with favor on your de defence, i Gnci to pardon you, if you cannot forgive Prisoner "I know my lord, what will bo your judgement, and that of the jury, but God has already pardoned me; 1 feel it in my heart. You know not I knew not then the whole extent of ihe evil that man had dune me. When some compassionate people brought mu my daughter in my prison she was mi longer my child she was no lotijjer pure and angelic as formerly she was corrupted, and soul her manner, iter language, infamous, hke those of the people with whom she had bi en living. She did not recognize me, and I no longer recognized her myself. Do you comprehend now That man hud robbed me of the love and soul of my child.

And I have killed him hut Foreman "My lord we have agreed on our Chief Justice "I understand you, gentlemen, hut the law must take its course. I must sum up the casc, and then you will retire to The Chief Justice having summed up the case, (he jury retired, and in an instant after returned into the court with a verdict, "Not Guilty. On the discharge of Hammond, the Sheriff was obliged to surround him with an escort. The crowd of women and man was The women were determined to carry him off inttriumph. The crowd followed him all the way to his lodgings wilh dcafning shouts and huzzas.

Fugitive Slave Case The second cook of the steamboat Buck Eye State, named Daniels, was arrested at Buffalo, ou Thursday, claimed by a man named Mooie. It was as still as possible, but the report soon spread through the cily, and a large crowd collected around the huilding in which be was confined. An alter lot was made to take him to il in a private carriage, but a very large and excited crowd blocked up the p.tssage, seized the horses by the bits, a made threats o( violence if he as not released. The fiie bells were rung, which served in a measure, to disperse the crowd, and he was then taken lo the watch houso, still followed by a large crowd Daniels was taken before the U. S.

Commissioner, Hon. II. Smith, this allernoon, for a hearing and the proof of identity and ownership being fully established, his Honor remanded him back to his proprieter, Mr. Moore, of Louisville. While on the way to the Court House, in the custody of tho Deputy Marshal, the carriage was attacked and stopped by the mob, but except a few knock downs, no iniury was done.

Daniels was notified in the morning that he had belter leave for Canada, but chose lo run the risk of being rescued to going away. The ty is now quiet, though great excitement has prevailed doringlhe day. During the arrest, the fugitive was severely injured by a blow on the head, inflicted by the claimant. A warrant for his arrest on a charge of assault and battery has been issued, and he ha been arrested and is now in jail. It is re.

ported that he will be tticd to morrow morning. Another report gives this account of the blow which tl.e negro received: The son of the claimant stepped up behind him while he was passing along on ihe boat at his ordinary avocations, and felled him to the deck with one blow of a billet of wood. The blow was a severe one, laying open the back part of his head and rendering him senseless. Tho excuse presented at Ihu examination was that he had a carvhnr knife in his hand, with which ho intended to as" sault his assailant. A Perilous Situation.

Daniel Burlew, an old gentleman residing in South Araboy, while mowing last week in his fields, was struck with paralysis, and being unablo to move or mako known his situation, remained for two days and two nights in the open nir without food or water. A dilligent search was made for htm by his friends but uithout avail until the hipso of time stated. tribune. Extension of the Morris and Essex Railroad. Tbe Jerseyman says that two corps of engineers are busily engaged in exploring the several routes for the Railroad Extension from Dover to the Water Gap.

At KiDgsion, yes. tenlay, a boat contaiuing a pic nic party of 35 persons was upset, and 15 females and four men were drowned. New York has had another bull exhibition in the streets.

In a late letter I mentioned that Lieut. M. C. Watkius, of the Navy, had projected a scheme for the exploration of Africa. He laid his plan before the Secretary of the Navy, a fow days ago.

His offer is under consideration, and if the President should niiike no objection, I presume that' it will he adopted, and the design put in execution without delay. Lieut. plun is simple, and costs the government nothing. He simply asks leave of absence, on present pay, for himself, one mid shipmati.oue engineer, and six mechanics, now belonging to the naval service, aud under pay, and doing little or thing. He also asks for a small iron sic amer, to bu built under his direction which steamer be will take out to Africa in one of the Government store ships.

This boat will he made in two pieces, and will be so light that she can easily be carried around the falls and other obstructions that may be met with in the rivers Mr. Watkius does not even ask fur rations for his party, as he expects to procure supplies very cheaply by traffic with the natives. Ten thousand dollars will cover all the expenses of the expedition, which ihe government, is called upon to pay. Mr. Watkios will taue a draftsman, and a naturalist, and a physician with his party.

Suit able men, who are already accltmuled, will volunteer for the enterprise Six or eight colored men from Liberia, who are accustomed to the natives aud have been engaged in former explorations, ill complete tbe exploring party. One of the men, Capt. Trotter, of tbe British navy, in his expedition. Mr. Watkms ill first explore the St.

Paul's a very interesting river and trace it to its source. The valley of the St. Paul's is very rb.h and beautiful, and will he of great importance to Liberian commerce, by reason of its valuable products. He will next trace the Niger and Congo and other imporUut rivers, from iheir mouths to their sources, and proceed to explore the vast and now unknown regions ol ihe interior, where, for aught wc know, natural products of novel and rich character, new forms oi cizilization, and unknown races of men, may ix. st.

Mr. Wat kins is confident, from the information which he derived in Africa, during his former vis its, that he can find coal fields on the St. Paul's; and, if so, one of theohief obstacles to the estab lishuie.nt of steam communication between this country and Africa will be removed. This expedition will greatly promote Ihe success of the proposed Africau or Ebony line of steamers it will pn molc the coloriizaiion and civijizution of Africa by ascertaining and making known its resources and its geography it will open to native tribes of Africa new subjects for commerce, of a much more profitable kind than the slave trade; and it ill widen the boundaries of modern science and knowledge. Certainly such an enterprise as this will, if even attended with partial success, reflect great credit on those engaged in it, and upon our naval serviceud upon this country.

Jt is the ready ion to the project that all the African explorers have hiiberlo perished in their attotipls. Still, ihey effected something. Lieut. Vulkins says: "If we do not eomu back, ourjournals will, and there will be many officers ready to take up our work, where we leave it. Cuba.

A letter from Orleans, published in the Baltimore American, thus sets forth the aid and comfort" which the Cubans are receiving from the United States: The steamship Pampero, tho fastest thing on the water, left here on Monday morning with 600 men, and takes in tow a schooner loaded with arms and ammunition. Thus much is certain Now what follows is rumor, but is generally credited as fact. The steamer Pampero is in search of the Spanish steamer Pizzaro, which she hopes to meet and capture, and transfer her men to her. Then the Pampero is to run into some Texan port for another lot of men to carry the Island. A etuamer left hero on Thursday last for Vera Cruz, hut she is said to be destined for Cuba with three hundred men.

The steamer Ciiingarora is missing from the Lake, and is said to have taken a full load of men and ammunition in Mobile Bay. The steamer Alabama is engaged to take five hundred men on Saturday next. Two schooners are said to have Pensacola with ammunition and meu. The steamer Monmouth is to take a party from Florida. In fart there is no doubt that a large party, sav 3,500 men, are now on their way or leudy to einburk and the moment it is known that a ovod landing has been effected, there will be 10,000 ready to leave on the Expedition.

Shipwreck Two American Missionaries Lost. We learn from Capt. Brown, of the brig Low den, from the west coast of Africa, that in the month of April, the brig Englishman, Capt. Harris, of Bristol, England, was capsized in a tornado off the Island of Fernando Po There was supposed to been board about 30 persons, only one of whom was saved, a native of Africa, He was picked up, after floating on a spar three days, by an English ship from Carnavon, for Fernando Po.

The Cincinnati Commercial saye, large numbers of men have left (hat city to join the "Cuba hunt," and adds The means used to enlist these adventurers were, we fear, both false and nefarious. It was represeuted to them that the officers of the Spanish fleet off Cuba were in the pny of the patriot leaders, and would offer no resistance to the landing of the hunters.
