The visit of this illustrious gentleman to F.ng land, as our, readers have been apprised, was mad the occasion of visiting him with Mie most violent denunciation by a portion of the English press, on account of his signature of the Fugi tive Slave Law. This is the sort of greeting which an illustrious American receives in the motherland. The Caledonia Mercury van add that to its list of American grievances. Mrs. Stowe received by them with ovations; Ex President Fillmore with abuse. And for what ? For signing the Fugitive Slave law ? What business was that of foreign journalists T A President of the United States arraigned by a foreign press for performing his duty under the constitution of his country ? However, as they have no honors except for Benedict Arnold and Mrs. Stowe, Mr. Fillmore may receive their re proofs as the best evidence of his honesty and patriotism. The prevalence of abolition fanaticism in England, absolutely blinds the eyes of as intel ligent and virtuous a people us there is in the world, to the very portion of American society, which, under other circumstances, they would most admire and reverence. Our wisest, most conservative and moderate men are given the cold shoulder because of their opposition to abo lition ; whilst radicals, jacobins, and demago gues of the most extreme and infuriate charac ter, if they but add abolitionism to their other beautiful characteristics, become "hale fellows well met" with sober, staid and conservative members of English society. BUNKER HILL AND WATERLOO. Sunday last (Jun 17th) was the anniversary of one and Monday (June 18) the anniversary of the other. On the 17th of June, 1775, was struck the first great blow by the patriots of the Revo lution, who proved by their courage and success that morals is everything in an army, and, as a distinguished French writer has observed, that enthusiasm can supply the place of discipline. How strange that the hitherto invincible nation of Britain should have been beaten, humbled and finally kicked clean out by an enemy far their inferior in number and resources 1 Then look at her on the 18th of June 1815, just forty years afterwards ; crowning a series of brilliant vic tories over a well-appointed, numerous and gal lant enemy, commanded by the first Generals in the world, by crushing at one mighty blow the eagles and cohorts of the empire on the plain of Waterloo. Neither had they improved nor lost ground in the science or military genius of her generals since 1775. She bad just come second best out of another war with the. Uni ted States . She was being whipped by the half disciplined army of America, while win ning, at the same moment, fadeless laurels on the bloody fields of the Peninsula. Well may Americans be proud of their powers Well may they boast that they alone, a weak nation, scattered overan immense territory, could hum ble a flag to which every other was compelled to offer homage 1 These reflections naturally remind us of the position which England and France now hold injhe Eastern war. The hereditary foes are fighting side by side no matter for what, that is their own business the French army has proved itself the equal of its allies in courage, their superior in every other particular ; yet, pit the two armies against each other, and we will bet our hat that the English are still their masters in the field. There is no other way to account for it than by supposing something like a law of nature which regulate such mat ters. Americans will always whip the English, the English will whip the French till crack of doom, while the gallant Gallic rooster will al ways crow over all creation and the rest of mankind. If this doctrine, which is intensely conve nient, be true, how gratifying it must be to Sam to reflect, that though he may go to war, there is no power on earth can thrash him 1 -The "Platform of Principles" adopted by the American Convention has been officially pub lished. In the general, the principles are pat riotic and excellent, and should receive the ap probation of the American people. If any fur ther modifications, in language or in spirit, are still desired, and can be made consistently, we trust and rely upon the future action of the State Councils, and of the liberal members, to effect them. It can be done without trenching upon the foundation American Nationality the Constitution the Union good Government. It can be effected, and yet embrace American cit izens faithful to the constitution, of all sects, and by confining the action of the order to po litical objects. The cause will then be onward. Let the Platform, however, receive the fair consideration of the public. No work can be expected to be entirely perfect. We accept all the good and wait for time to ameliorate what ever may be found to be objectionable. From the N. O. Trne Delta. DEMANDING THE NAME OF THE AU THOR. There is nothingin journalism sostrictly defin ed, as the rule which a party should follow in de manding the name of the author of a iy anony mous communication, though it would seem, from the impertinent enquiries that are daily made of editors for the name of the author of this or that publication, that the mass of man kind are totally ignorant, or pretend to be so, of the subieet. We think we will save the in-' UUiSitiVe, as well as ouroelrca and contempora ries, a vast deal of trouble and annoyance by placing on record the well-established and recog nized mode oi procedure in this case. No man has a right to demand the name of the author of any anonymous communications, except the assertions in the communication are untrue, and he feels agrieved and injured by the publication. In seeking the name of the author he must state his wishes in writing, that the assertions in the publication are untrue, that he feels aggrieved and injured by it, and that he seeks the name of the author, not through an idle curiosity, but for the purpose of demanding sat isfaction ot him. After, the demand snail De made in hiB form, the proprietor, or in bis ab sence, the controlling: manager ot tne journal, being allowed a reasonable time for deliberation, is bound to give op the name of the author, or refusing to do so, must take the author's place, and assume the responsibility and its conse quences. Another point In this business should be observed, and carefully weighed by parties ADDRESS OF THE BOARD OF MANAGERS , OF THE WASHINGTON NATIONAL MONUMENT SOCIETY. To the People of the United Stoles. Fellow-Citizens : We address yon on behalf of the Washington National Monument Asso ciation, and submit for yonr consideration the following report of what has been done : The corner-stone was laid on the 4th of July, 1848. At that time there was in the treasury of the Association the sum of $62,450 66. The work has gone on with varied progress until the sum of $230,000, the product of volun tary contributions alone, has been expended in its erection. The orginal estimate of the cost of the whole work, the shaft, the base, and the ornamental part executed $1,222,000. The base, built of the blue stone of the Poto mac, solid and indestructible, is sunk eight feet below the surface, and rises seventeen and a half feet above the surface of the surrounding earth. It is fifty five feet square at its top. From this springs the shaft, with walls of blue stone fifteen feet thick, with white marble fourteen inches thick, in courses two feet in height, tied and bounded into the blue stone at every course. In its ascent it diminishes gradually and regular ly in the exterior line. The interior is carried up a straight, underra ting chamber. Within and set into the solid wall ! of this interior, according to the taste of the ar chitect, have been placed, and are yet-to be placed, the stones contributed by States, com munities, and associations. This naked shaft, thus rigidly cut, thus firm ly based, thus indissolubly bonded, now rises in its simple and grand proportions one hundred and fifty two and a half feet above the blue stone base. It is already one of the firBt objects which meets the eye of the traveller as he passes through the hills by which the city in hemmed in, and. he starts to find the immense machinery on its top designed for lifting stone still idle, and anxiously inquires the cause. Fellow citizens : We are pained to say, it is your neglect. When the scattered and subju gated Polish nation, and the friends of liberty in Europe, began to erect a monument to Kosciusko, they made ita labor of love, and from every val ley and mountain, and plain and runningstream, far and near, they brought stones and piled and heaped them into a vast pyramidal mound, to testify that love. And now, after the lapse of forty years, amid the convulsions which have shaken that unhappy country, pilgrim hands still swell that pile with constant contributions. We are erecting a Monument to a greater than Kosciusko, to him who, in history or myth, is known among every kindred and nation of the earth ; who laid the foundations, gave the pro portions, and superintended the structure of that government which, with miraculous speed, has risen to the front rank among the nations, and we call upon you for aid. Hitherto, men well known to you have given to it long years ot carefulness and labor. They have been urgent and pressing in their calls for help, and you have, to a certain extent, responded to their call It was not their work, it was yours ; they were your stewards, giving their time, and care, and labor, and money, in the same cause with you But they have failed, not for lack ot energy or zeal on their part, but from want of that action and sympathy on yours, which was essential to success. You, the people of this broad and happy land : you, the children oi Washington you, to whom he has left the priceless bequest of his services, and his love, have neic bacK the contribution needed from each to erect to his me mory a suitable Monument in the national me tropolis. While thousands have answered promptly the appeal to their patriotism, and contributed tho amount already received and expended, the far greater number, either from apathy or want of opportunity, have failed to join in this work ot grateful duty. This failure compelled our pre decessors to arrest the prosecutiou ot the work, and to appeal to Congress for assistance.

The New Orleans Medical Gazette, of the 4th instant, thus speaks of the health of that city : ' Notwithstanding the fact that some of our newspapers are constantly proclaiming our city in the enjoymentof almost unprecedented health, all who do not wilfully close their eyes and ears to existing facts must be aware that the cholera is in our midst, and is doing sad work from one end of the city to the other : it is not true that the cases are principally confined to the upper and lower portions ot the city, and are mostly attributed to the drought, which forces a change from rain water to the meagre supply of the hy drants. The disease is to be found every where thoughout the city, and although it seems to at tack more children and negroes, still it is to be found amongst the high and low. erect in all the panoply of freedom in this broad land, who is not dead to the common im pulses of humanity; who is worthy in the least degree of the countless and diversified blessings by which be is surrounded, we call upon men everywhere to contribute each his mite. A great and mighty people, of twenty-hve mllions, cannot be so dead to the sensations which are innate in every breast at the bare naming of such a benefactor, as to refuse or neglect to give their aid in such a cause. .Let every man, then, who teels his heart beat with American pulsations, and every man who reveres the name of Washington, singly or in companies, communicate directly with our ec retary. and send in his contribution to our Treasurer, or suggest a mode for its collection.

I TTT 1 4 . -w- , i r ir e nave Derore us a register oi tne tsritisnnavy for the quarter commencing April 1st, 1855 of course the latest iscae. The " active list " of Admirals shows that there are seven Admi rals of the red, seven admirals of the white, and seven of the blue. The senior Admiral was made a Post Captain in the year of grace 1795, and the junior Admiral was a Post Captain in 18051 Half a century ago, therefore, the young' est of the British Admirals had arrived to the exalted rank of. Post Captain? Considering that, by the routine of promotion, an officer could not gain this rank much before his thir tieth year, the present ages of the Admirals may be pretty closely guessed, and we may wonder that the British government, which is so greatly admired in this country, should per mit their naval officers to live so long ! The list of Vice Admirals it equally old fogy ish. Nine red old fellows are all of the same post rank 1806. Then come nine white Vice Admirals, the junior having been potted in 1808. Nine blue Vices follow and the ninth was a Captain in 1811. Now, to bring up the "Rear," we have seventeen Rear Admirals of tne red flag, the youngest stripling amongst them hav ing been a jnvenue Post Captain of yesterday so to speak) that is, be was in command of a ine of battle ship in 1814. Afterwards we find a like number on the white list, and on the blue ist. The junior of the last named list must be considered yet in a state of infanoy " muling and puking in bis nurse s arms bavmg been made a British Post Uaptain so very recently as the year 1828 only twenty-seven years ago. As for the retired Admirals and their most patriarch- lcal ages, we can on ly observe that the list contains over two hundred of these, which at an average of threescore and ten would make a grand aggregate of tome 14,000 years; or as the greater number have impiously exceeded the scriptural climacteric, we may say, very safely, lb.UUO years the unconsciable old dogs I .Now for the gay and gallant Captains of the British navy. The senior Captain on the ac tive list of this year was promoted on the ever memorable 4th of July, lozij. Jtour hundred and five of these Captains are kept in readiness to command, or are now in command, of one hundred and eight post ships. That is, only one-fourth of the active list of Captains are, or have any chance of being, employed. The reti red list of Captains presents a still more melan choly spectacle ; but, as Armade says, "sweet chucks beat not the bones of the buried ; the sweet' war-men are dead and rotten when they breathed they were men The next lower rank to that of Post Captain is that of "Commander." On this list we have for "active service", five hundred and forty-nine The senior Commander was promoted from a Lieutenant in 1817 ! On the reserved list ot Commanders are no less than five hundred and eighty eight names, some of whom were com missioned as Lieutenants many years before the beginning of this century. The oldest Lieu tenant now in the active list of the British navy was commissioned in loQt ! Eleven hundred and seventy-five are borne on this list. Then we have the Lieutenants' reserved list, commen cing with an old sea dog, one John Ilibbs by name, who first received his epaulet in 1796 ! Seven hundred and thirteen of these old. Lieu tenants are thus laid up in lavender. Of the Sailing Masters, three hundred and seventeen are on the active list, and one hundred and forty on the "reserve," one 'M:ister Brooke" being the senior, who was made a Master in 1794 . Then come the "Mate," with the oldest of which we deeply sympathies, for we observe that he has been performing the arduous and responsible daties of a "matey" since the close of the war in 1815 a melancholy proof that the British government strangely overlooks merit in itsnftval officers, or is strangely forget ful of their long and faithful service. Whydon't this elderly matey, in the name of patience, re sign, and thus mortify bis government 7 But perhaps that is the very thing they want him to do, and he is therefore right in seeing them dam aged first ! Besides these, we observe paymasters who paid out of the royal exche quer "monies as long ago as 17 surgeons who bound up the broken limbs of majesty s lieges in 1795, chaplains who "dispensed with the Gospel" in Itvt, and a list of Marine offi cers really startling for its antiquity one old marine still reioicing in the rank of second Lieutenant who was commissioned in 1781 ! We come now to the royal marine forces ; the active list of which presents two Generals, four Lieut. Generals, five Major Generals, eight Colonels-Commandant, nineteen Lt. Colonels, one h undred and t we nty-eeven Captains, one hundred and eighty-four FirBt Lieutenants, forty-four aecona liieutenanis ; ana tue marine .a.riiiiery, two Colonels, thirteen Captains, thirty-eight r irst .Lieutenants, seven second Lieutenants On the staff are nine Adjutants, eight Quar ter-masters, four Paymasters, tour Barrack-mas tors, eleven medical officers Marine officers on "retired full nay :" 9 Col onels Commandant, 18 Lieutenant-Colonels, oo Captains, 10 first Lieutenants, 4 seoond Lieuten THE POSITION OF AUSTRIA. The perfidy of Austria in not joining the Wes tern alliance to make war upon Russia, is the standing topic of British denunciation. The press teems with phillippioe against the long hesitations which have ended in what they pro claim to be imbecility and treachery. Austria will not go to war, and the British, who never allow that there can be either honesty or wis dom in taking any side but theirs, pronounce her faithless to them, and wanting to her own interests and honor. But Austria does not by any means deserve, these maledictions from the Allies. She has done exactly what they have done, that is, she has consulted her own position, necessities and interests, as they did theirs, but with the strong er excuse than they have for the strait in which they are involved, that she has been dragged along against her will, and has at no time coun selled or wished for the war which is raging about her. On the contrary, she has labored to reconcile the belligerents, and tried and pro posed project after project, to bring them into terms of accommodation which should stop the war. She is still engaged in the effort, hoping against all evidence, that something can be de vised which will nut a stop to the deadly strug gle before it involves Central Europe in the conflagration- Her sincerity in behalf of peace is beyond question, for war would be to her full ot danger and disasters of the most threatening description. To break with Russia would be to put half her territory at once into peril, and awaken her fears for the fidelity of half her sub jects. Her long frontier upon Russia is almost without defence. There are but one or two for tresses of any strength between a magnificent Kussian army and Vienna, and the whole dis posal force of the Empire would be needed tor the immediate defence of the Capital. She has altogether, on the war footing, say 350,000 men, but the disorder of her finances is so great that she cannot be expected long to maintain such an army in the field, and a Targe part of them would be required for domestic protection in discontented provinces. Kussia has 250.000 men disposed so as to march directly into Austria on a declaration of war, long before she could be ready to defend herself or her Western Allies could reach her. She could hardly risk a declaration of war against Russia without the support of a French army close at hand of at least one hundred thousand men. At the same time she would have her alarms for the quiet of Germany for the rising in Poland, to which Russia might by a word give an impulse that would be felt all over the continent to the terror of establish ed governments and would have reason to dread the affinities a large part of her own pop ulation to the nationality of Russia in prefer ence to hers. On the other hand, the French Emperor, in his recent denunciations, has evi dently designed to threaten Austria with call ing forth Polish nationality, and by consequence Hungarian nationality, as means to punish hei if she takes part with Russia, or to drive her from her neutrality into the hostilities which will provoke against her these dreaded retalia tions from Russia. It is small matter for surprise and less of blame, ifAustria holds backto the very last in resistance to the efforts made to drag her into hostility, and seeks to fortify herself in a position of absolute neutrality by alliances which shall comprehend all the German states It is so evidently her interest to keep out of the war it is so plain that war at all on either side would be at the risk of absolute ruin with s mighty enemy disaffected Germany insur gent provinces, and a bankrupt treasury the wonder rather is that the Allies should have expected her to do anything else than labor to bring about peace in the first place and to fall back on neutrality at last. This puts out of the question all considera tions except those interest as likely to influence the conduct of Austria, it is precisely this and no more, which determines the oonduct ot the belligerents. The Allies blundered into the war upon pretexts that were flimsy at first, and have, in the progress of hostilities, disappeared altogether from the discussion. 1 he only thing discussed now is the equilibrium of Europe, the proportions of power towards each other which the several Governments shall be able to estab lish, while each is grasping as the most for it self. Austria is involved in the struggle for power, and it is with her a struggle too for her existence she may not have been frank in proclaiming her purposes ; but which among them all has been more so r she is less a vol untarily agent than those who are freest in as sailing what they call her duplioity, and has a better defence tor her conduct, in avoiding war as long as possible, than they who are most denunciatory of her have fur the precipation with which they plunged into war, and the im becility with which they have waged it. The late reported successes of the Allies in the Crimea may solve this trouble for Austria by showing her where the strength lies, to pro tect her in her demonstrations ; but while Rus sia stands unshorn of her aggressive power to wards Austria, and ready to paunch it tortb on provocation. Austria is wise in refusing to expose herself to suoh dangers while Bhe can help it. iV. U. ficayune. BY LAST NIGHT'S MAIL ! ARRIVAL OF THE AS1A1 1 , THREE DAYS LATER FROM EUROPE 111 Halifax, June 20. The Cunard Steamer Asia left Liverpool on the afternoon of the 9th and arrived here, this morning. She brings three days later news than that of the St. Louis, which is again of a highly exciting nature. The bombardment of Sebastopol was renewed on the 6th inBt, and on the day of the Asia's sailing despatches were received from Lord Raglan dated the 9th, stating that the French had attacked and carried the Mamelon and White Towers before the fortress. The greatest bravery was shown on both sides, and the loss of either party was very heavy ; every inch of ground was disputed ; no other action of im portance has occurred. MARKETS. The great buoyancy of public feeling caused a slight rise in consols. At the crisis after the departure of the St. Louis, Cotton underwent a slight decline, but again recovered and closed at steady prices. Business this week amounted to one hundred and seven thousand bales sold mostly to specu lators. No great change in Breadstuff's and quotations nominal, except corn which has ad vanced on&shilling. Provisions are generally firm. The London Money Market is easier, and there has been another great increase of bullion in the Bank of England.
