Four Day later from Europe. IV JEW YORK CITY NEWS. De Samte. The Tribune publishes the follow Police. PiRACT os 'the East River alamos Fari i and Commissioners were to be sent out by the respective governments.

AFBIOA. Late advices from the west coast report that the British steamer Trident had brought into port, as a prisoner, the American ship Eliza Gibbs, filled with slave deoks and stores. HKt (he Iiargct etrcralRMor of Sf iZ. mlnc AdvortUtag Medjam therefore apparent ing, which we presume is a burlesque on the telegraphic messages of De Santo Meruly as a specimen of the facility of Telegraphic intercourse, we give the following conversation carried on between the chief operators in the London and Constantinople offices respectively of "Tne Electric and International Telegraph. Company," soon after the opening of the line to the Moslem metropolis last spring.

This conversation, it will be noted, was prosecuted across the continent of Europe, over lines of teletrraph which cross the British Channel and a portion of the Mediterranean, and can hardly bo less than two thousand miles long, though a di rect line between the two capitals is rather less than fifteen hundred. Here is the talk Sunday, May 2d, 1858 S.50 P. (London). Constantinople Here, Constantinople London Here, London, how are you? Con. Admirably well and you? Lond.

Very well. What time are you at Constantinople? Con. 11:45 (LondoD, 8:57) p. m. The wea ther is superb here.

Good night. Addison on the Telegraph. In the 24lst number of the Spectator is a nlavful suetrestioD. by Addison, in regard to absent lovers, which, although written early in the eighteenth century, nas touna its realization the middle ot the nineteenth. After quoting a letter from Astoria.

complaining of the regret she felt at the absence ot her husband, and suggesting various remedies for her relief, among which was one of having an hour set apart for mutual remembrance in prayer, he adds the following Strada, in one of his Prolusions, gives an ac count of a chimerical correspondence between two friendB, by the help of a certain loadstone, which had such virtue in it that if it touched two several needles, when one of the needles so touched began to move the other, though at never so great a distance, moved at the same time and in the same manner. He tells us that the two friends, being each of them possessed of one oi tnese needles, made a Jundot dial plate. inscribing it with the four and twenty letters, in tne same manner as the hours of the day are mamed upon tne ordinary dial plate. They then fixed one of the needles on each of these in such a manner that they could move round without impediment, so as to touch any one of the four and twenty letters. Upon their separating one trom another, into distant countries, tbev agreed to withdraw themselves punctually into their closets at a certain hour or the cay, and to con verse witli eacn other by meat of this their in vention.

By this means thev talked together across a whole continent, and conveyed their thoughts to one another in an instant, over cities or mountains, seas or deserts." This strange vagary of an ancient writer, quoted by Addison for the amusement of his readers, has wonderfully become a fixed truth in the progress of modem science. How little did Ad. discn dream that what he was then suggesting in a vein of playful humor should tax the minds or wise men to accomplish, until the whole in vention should be perfected by which two continents are now bound together, and thought is maae to pass oetween with the rapidity almost oi us own motions. The London Saturday Seciew comments prettv plainly on Mrs. Julia Branch tho female aposile of roo JLiOve, as follows "The chief noveltv about Mrs.

Ihe London Times has a leading article strongly opposing tne legalisation of marriage with a deceas ea vnio sister, ana exprossmg the belief that tho great bulk of the Engliah people are satisfied with the settlement of tho subjoct which was made 23 years ago, adding "A change in the, law is asked for to gratify two classes a small and a somewhat larger one. Tho nrat consists 01 peoplo ot some station whoso pas sions urgo tiiem to these alliances the other is made up of nrlieaus in the manufacturing districts, among whom tho bad habit of replacing one sister by another has grown up. We cannot think that tne claims ot eittier class are so strong as to necessitate a revolution in our matrimonial laws, for no one can doubt the logical sequence of Lord Bury's bill is the recognition of the marriage by a widower or widow of all the wife's or husband's relatives whatever in Bbort, the discontinuance of all restrictions on marriage on. the ground of affinity. If a man may marry his wife's sister as tho best person to take care of hiB childron, whv not his wife's grown up daughter for the same purpose why not even his wife's mother Why may not a widow left with children marry her husband's brother, as tlioir ntlest guardian why not her husband's grown up son, and so on No those who choose to form tnese adiauces must be content to do so without tho hpnfif aro made for tho general wlfhth I 0 Lagliah 5 they must be content witli whatever moral sanction iB given by the legality mamogo at its German or American place of celebration, und thoy must supply by testamentary disposition the absence of tho legitimacy which tingliah law cannot afford to their clFaprirjg Eats.

When a house is infested by rats which refuse to nibble at toasted cheese and the usual baits, a fow drops of the highly scented oil of rhodium poured on the bottom ofa cw trap will almost invariably attract it full of the 'mischievous rodents" before mornine. Wa have known this to be tried with the most extraordi nary success. When a trap baited with all manner of edibles has failed to attract a siDgle rat, the ojl of rhodium caused it to bo comDlotelv crowded night after night, until tha house was cleared of tho noisome vieiloix. t.r. .1.1 VS ilitfi tif THE ANGLO SAXON AT QUEBEC.

"Kendall's Mill's, July 10th, 1858. A correspondent of the New York nanars. ting of Miss Margaret Fox's conversion to the Cath 0110 raitn, says that she renounced sDiritnalism nnH separated herself from all association with spiritual ists nve years ago, wnen sne was only sixteen years of age. She was then plaoed for three years at a private school near Philadelphia, where the subject was never montionod. Her renunciation did not imply any charge of imposture against the spiritualists, who have so long respected her prciudices and regarded her as a stranger but was made at the request ot a iriend wnoso wishes were sacred to hor; and her promise never in any way to have aught to do with spiritualism was reliiuonslv fcnnt.

even after the death of this friend. It is therefore as unjust to her, as it is painful and distressing net lu ua yiAuuuiy miu ruueiy spoken 01 a "spirit rapper" one who has just "recanted.

I have been traveling through various cities, business is dead, plucked up by the roots, wharves in a perfectly nuUO bLttlrtt, UU vueepio Willi "aft0 rniu uignais wavine through tho air, calling for seamen to aid in their flight over the mighty waters with cargoes to exchange in foreign climes, for that which would return a rich reward for their toil. The only apparent life is the excitement on account of the triumph of the Telegraph Cable, which has for a time created a breeze. At Portland there has been quite an exciting time this and the past woek, by the visiting of Sabbath Schools, in large numbers, from various points, Sons ol Temperance, and chowder parties. The military companies from Montreal, quite a large delegation have boen encampod, and received in various ways by various expressions ot kindly interchanges. Portland fins been invaded by a foreign army, in their native costumo of war dress, not to pour in volume of fire mixed with lead, but thrilling interchange of friendly feeling such as passed between her noblo MajeBty Queen Victoria, andour worthy President James Buchtoan.

As exaggerated reports are in circulation respecting this transaction, we have concluded to give the public a statement 01 the facts, which have been in onr possession a day or two. It appears that a married gentleman, residing in Poplar street, has been on intimate terms with a female who figured in our courts a few months ago as the prosecutrix of two police officers of the Fourth Station, and this intimacy had pro ceeded so far that he was in possession of her daguerreotype and things.

A few days ago, one of the gentleman's children, while at play, found tbe picture and several letters from the frail one concealed under the carpet, and by this means they were placed in possession of the injured wife. Of course this created a matrimonial breeze. The wife sought the female who had broken her peace of mind, and in the course of their interview an arrangement was made by the terms of which the letters which had passed be tween the lovers were to be exchanged. The letters which were addressed to the husband were promptly handed to the young woman, and she returned his billet doux, with the exception of one, which she retained, as was suspected, for no good or honorable purpose. Ot course this arrangement proved to De a hollow peace.

The husband still hankered after the frail one, and on the evening we have mentioned, he had been walking and communing with her, and had just parted from her when tho injured wife made her appearance upon the ground armed with a cowhide, and backed by her sister husband. The wife immediately commenced an attack upon the seducer of her husband's affections, with the cowhide, which she used with all the energy which jealous rage can infuse into the female nature. The cowhide was wrenched from her hand by her husband, who rushed to the rescue of his enamorata, and he was knocked down by the brother in law of his wife. The exasperated wife followed up the castigation of her rival with a small cane, and with her claws, and damaged her apparel consid erably before the affray The affair caused considerable excitement in tbe bosoms of the actors in the drama, and in the neighborhood where it occurred. The sequel remains to be developed, Boston Herald.

A Terrible Story or Murdir and Suicide in Lorain County. Ohio. On Monday night, the 9th inst. Mrs. Williams, the wife of Ber jamm Williams, a wealthy farmer, living in Pittsfield, Ohio, hung htr daughter, a deaf and dumb girl about twelve years of age, and afterwards hung heraelf.

Mrs. Williams had some time ago commenced an action against her husband for divorce, and the case had been settled and the suit withdrawn on the same day of the muidsr and suicide. The ground of the application for divorce was neglect of duty, and the sympathy of an entire neighborhood was with her, as her husband is a shiftless, dissipated man. Mrs. Williams was respected by all who knew her, but on the Monday referred to, charges of gross immorality were made against her, and witnesses were said to be leady to prove them, and the nature of such charges were, if proved against her, sufficient to defeat her application for divorce.

Under this state of things she withdrew her divorce case, receiving from Williams $40 in money, a promise of S460 more, and a deed for sixty acres of land for the benefit of the deaf and dumb child. This deed was drawn, but remained in the hands of Williams lawyer. The belief of the neigh bors now is, that Mrs. AVilliams was the victim of a conspiracy, and after she had settled the suit, her agony of mind at the position she was placed in, drove her to the perpetration of the terrible aeea. The body of tbe deaf and dumb daughter was touna nanging by tne neck and the feet tied to the rounds ot a chair if her 1'eet had been free, tney would nave toucfied the floor.

Mrs. Wil liams used a sheet for tho purpose, tearing it in two, hanging the daughter with one half and herself with the other half. A neighbor saw Mrs. Williams earlv in the morning, hanging dead at the corner of the house. The familv with whom Mrs.

Williams was living were all away from home, except a little child of jur or hve years. This child says that, in the night she got up, and saw the deaf and dumb girl "a swinging iu the bacls room, that Mrs. Williams took the deaf and dumb girl down and put her in with this little girl, and that, the deaf and dumb girl felt cold. This, of course is a child's story, but it is supposed that perhaps Mrs. Williams dil take the body down and put it in the child's bed, so as to induca the child again to go to sleep.

Fall trom a Steiple One Man Killed Stabbed with a Lightning Rod. A correspon dent of the Democrat, writing from Carpentersville, Ind. says A Mr. Logan, while erecting a lightning rod to the Presbyterian Church in town, was precipitated irom a height of one hundred feet, bv the breaking of a ladder, into his wagon of rod and tools below, breaking both of his legs, fracturing his skull, and mutilating his body in the most horrible manner. In falling be jerked his rod loose, and the end, pointing downward, penetrat ed the eye of Mr.

0. (an elder of the 0. S. P. Church), and prostrated him to tho earth, stunning him severely.

Mr. Logan has since expired. The other gentleman is suffering severely and considered dangerously hurt." Crookcd Pinb Wanted. The New York cor respondent of the Baltimore Dispatch says "Mayor Wood's glass ballot boxes are turned to other uses besides dedecting false bottoms, as, strange to relate, one of them at the 14th district station house has been turned into an aquarium, in which sundry members of the finny tribe do sport. A petition is in circulation amongst the citizens of the 14th ward to raise a subscription with which to purchase a supply of crooked pins and sundry skeins of thread, so as to enable the M.

to while away their time by fishing out of the above mentioned aquarium." True. Every day we live, says an exchange, wo are more tnan ever convinced mat nine tenths of the misfortunes which attend humanity are self inflicted. People jump off railroad cars while in motion go bathing in deep water when they cannot swim imbibe spiritous liquors and meet with accidents expose themselves regard less of pradonce, and suffer all manner of evil consequences, which a little forethought would in most cases have averted. People know very well that a violation of tho common law involves penalty, and yet utterly ignore the fact that Nature is still more inexorable than the legislature, and visits with corresponding punishments every transgression of her laws. Though Mr.

Kalloch has been recalled to Tre mont Temple, iu Boston, yet thero seems to be some difficulty about his settlement. Tremont Temple belongs not to the congregation that worship there, but to the Associated Baptist Churches of Boston, and the building is under the control ot Trustees selected from these ait ferent churches. One of the conditions on which the congregation occupy it is that they shall settle no pastor without the consent of tbe Trustees. Mr. Kalloch is not recognized by the other Baptist churches in Boston the pastors refuse to exchange with him and it is said that the Trustees of Tremont Temple will obiect to the settlement.

MONDAY EVENISG, AUGUST 33 A Question of Etiquette.

Several of the newspapers think that the country haa been insulted by her Majesty's greeting to the President because she styles him Honorable instead of his Excellency. In the first place it is hardly fair to hold her Majesty reiponsible for the terms of a message which came in such a "questionable that each edition commenced with a different designation of her own quality one commencing "her majesty," the other "the queen." Fnrthermore, the heads of departments address the chief magistrate simply as "the President and there is no official designation belonging to the office except that which usage has adopted, Excellency." This flurry about a title which has really no official foundation, is therefore as ridiculous as most of the other splurges of which the cable has been the subject. The founders of the American Republic provided ng iinst the enjoyment cf hereditary titles by the sovereign people. But theories, however sound, cannot eradicate the weakesses of human nature. Despite our Republican government, we have more titled digoitaries than all the universe combined.

Hardly a retailer of lager bier or theD cent whitkty you meet but is a captain or a corporal, and hangs up a couple of formidable epaulettes and a most ferocious looking but very innocent sword among the cobwebs and broken bottles that adorn the rear of his counter. You will probably see the man who has been darning your pantaloons or mending your slip pers, ride by on a raw boned horse, fresh from the harness of a grocery wagon or swill cart, on the Fourth of July at the head of a very independent troop, entirely free from the despotic re. straints of military discipline, issuing mandates with the sonorous pomposity of a mock Hanni bat. Everybody who is not a captain or general Is a lieutenant or orderly. The boot black and chimDey sweep are "professors," and the itiner.

ant tinsmith is an artist. In the matter of titles we beat the British aristocracy, and run close on the heels of the Emperor Solouque and his colored nobility. Republican simplicity cannot drive out the weak minded vanity which clings to mankind in all dimes, and though it takes new shapes, is essentially the same everywhere. Indeed this passion for titular glory is more respectable where its claimants can tracs t'ne possession of a title founded on merit through loug generations, acting as a stimulant to noble tluds or a restraint on base propensities whose indulgence would stain an honorable pedigree, than in a country where such distinctions are theoretically condemned, and where they are neither indicative of personal merit or ancsstral fame where they mean nothing, and their very assumption Is a flunkey weakness which proves too possessor to be anything but a model mem ber of a Republican government. Not is the assumption of titles limited military burlesque played off by "Cromwells guiltless of their countries blcod;" nor even to tbc "professors" of the variousarfs and sciences, from taegonteel accomplishment of dancing to tho manly art of self defence.

Soyer has conferred a greater benefit on mankind than many a hero who has won the highest distinctions in life and a monument at his death. He has regenerated the an of cookery and taught people how to live. His services in the Crimea deservedly rank beside those ofFlorence Nightingale, but sentiment rarely goes into the kitchen, and no songs or odes were dedicated to him. Iitquiescat in pace. What are the Pbospects for the Fall Business 1 The Tribune of a few days since has an elaborate article in reply to this question.

The conclusion arrived at on a survey of the whole ground, is that the trade of the ensuing fall must be moderate that the elements of a large and flourishing interchange of products between city and country do not exist. Iowa has very poor crops this year, owing to floods and tempests; the adjacent States have suffered from the same cause, though less disastrously How js Iowa to pay for goods this fall beyond the barest necessaries of life i. Minnesota and Kansas have good crops, at least twice as good as those of last year but they could not export them at prices that would go tar in payment of goods. Practically, they will have littlo to sell therefore, little wherewith to pay. Ohio Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan will all export grain, and the three last named meat also; but we think not to so great an extent as last year, while the pricos realizad muit be low.

The Eastern States, with Pennsylvania are Buffering from a paralysis of manufactures' and mining, and must buy moderatelv. The rinnih is relatively better off; but we must remember that the difference between fourteen and ten cents per pound for cotton is quite material, while to the inland planter, who pavs ffi5 to MO per bale for transportation to New Orleans and Mobile, this disparity is still more serious. We cannot, therefore, see how an average amount of Roods can oe satejy or Deneficiently sold during ue uuauing laii. AceiDEKT. On last Friday evening, two children of Mr.
