Air. Rsjner gave Mr. Barrin ger, formerly Cnited States Minister to Spain, as authority for his assertion. It appears, now, however, yiat Mr.' Rsynsr misunderstood Mr. B. The latter has written a letter to Mr. ftay .ner, and another to Judge Ellis, late of the Wahihion Organ, explaining, the matter. ii . , "lou are. mistaken as to the purport of the remarks made tome by the representative ol ' the PoP at Madrid.

What I have said, and what I repeat, is, that btfore I had any certain news of the formation wf the Cabinet, and while its constitution was still in doubt, and the subject of conjecture in the public mind at Madridhe told me that Mr. Campbell was appointed, and that he was a Cutbolic, which was the first information I had of either fact."

The officer had taken him to the look-up, where he bad finished the night singing "Good Old Daniel" whistlingthe Prima Donna Waltz, and playing an imaginary piano on the floor, in which attenpt he had broken off his fingernails and put his wrist out of joint.

His shirt oollar was wilted, his neck tie was pointing towards bis right eye like that of Burton in the " Toodlea," his hair was out of curl, and the damp of the cell or the excite ment of the occasion bad so affected his hair dye, that one half his moustache was a dirty yellow, and the other a pale green, while his goatee was a brilliant brick oolor picked out with spots of bright blue.

The latter theory we think is fairly exploded by the facta furnished in the experience of the past few years. Nw Orleans, for instance, is not the only port visited by vessels from places infect ed by the disease ; did the fever originate in the latter way, the northern seaport cities, wbioh sustain a large and constantly increas ing commercial intercourse with South Ameri ca and the West Indies, would be equally ex posed to the fury of the epidemic. Yellow fever has prevailed at times in New York and Phil adelpbia, bat in both cities it was confined to those place where there was an unhealthy in floence in the atmosphere, produced by local causes ; and when those causes were removed the disease invariably abated. And so in Nor folk. The fever first made its appearance in "Barry's Row,' and did not spread beyond that place, which is notorious for its filth, and is constantly surrounded by an unhealthy atmos phere. The truth is, the people of New Orleans must settle down upon the conviction that the phys ical infirmity which renders them peculiarly liable to pestilent epidemics is engendered at homa-in the atmosphere of the swamps, which sweeps the streets of their eity and scatters in all directions its noxious and deadly yspors. Sinoe the period when Louisiana commenced its swamp land system, four years ago, no less than four of the engineers in the public service have died in the unhealthy climate to which they were neeesssrily exposed. And here is the secret of the unhealthiness of New Orleans. Another fact, which goes far to sustain the theory of local origin, is that strangers are more liable to the disease than the old residents who are only attacked is the most fatal seasons. It is supposed by some that the ultimate ef fect of these' investigations will be serious, and persons hare gone so far as to express the o pinion that the day is not distant when "grass will grow rank in the streets of the Crescent city." The railroads, they say, which are bail ding throughout the entire valley of the Miss issippi and connecting with the great lines to the sea ports, will of themselves tend to divert the course of trade from the mouth of the river. The geographical position of New Orleans is undoubtedly an important one, aad all who are lanuliar with the conformation of the Southern States and their relation to the Gulf region and the, great valley of the Mississippi, of course know that the growth of the city has been one of necessity ; and this necessity continues to force its growth in the faoe of the ravages of epidemics. The frightful mortality of last year had scarcely ceased, before New Orleans was again the scene of bustle, activity and euterprise ; population and business flowed in from all quarters with an impetus which ap peared to be only the greater for the tempora ry interruption that had occurred. And so we apprehend it will continue to be. Were it possible to find some other place healthier loan new urieans uat would suit the exigen cies ui commerce, it is probame that that city wouia. doi retain its commercial importance. there must be a commercial port to aocommo- aate tne vast trade and travel of the Mis- s ssippi river and the population of its migh ty valley. iSowas all the region near theOulf bounding on the Mississippi ia liable to the some malarious influence, and as, furthermore, New Orleans has the same. chance, (of which, oy tne way. she is already availing herself.) of maintaining her ascendancy by building rail- roaas, as are possesseoUin other quarters for overthrowing it, it is quite likely that she will continue at least to hold her own.

Evening Bulletin, advertising for the heirs of jonn amitn. it is stated that one John Smith, who was born, says a contemporary, in 1697 and died in 1806, (which would make the said John 109 years of age at the time of his death ) left a snug little fortune of $2,500,000, for which neirs are now wantea. it is said that a meet. ing oi the ftnntns interested, in this fortune is arranged to come off in August, at a point near Philadelphia. .It is believed that, except the Persian army under Xerxes, the world has not seen as large an assembly as the call upon the -uiuiis win uriug (ugetner.

"V'' "'fSvifc- H -It would be expecting too ntttcb sfptxwt: that there will Tr come a political millenuin In th history' of any nation a perioiwhen public offices shall be filled exclusively by men unexceptionable in qualifications or character. To anticipate such a s'ate of things would be to lay aside all ideas of party, and invest the heart with a degree of virtue, and the head with an infallibility of judgement, which have never yet belonged to frail humanity. The truth is, that a perfect cure is out of the question, and any considerable modification of tbe evil, if ever achieved, will constitute an epoch in the history of reform. In this country, where par ty may make and unmake the government, and is really the dispenser of its emoluments and boo art, there exists at ones an unbounded field for the speculations of the ambitions, tbe spec ulator and tbe demsgogue. But . still reform with us is possible." The American shows very clearly how the reform may be brought about, thus .- " The chief difficulty lies in the apathy and apparent indifference of tbe great body of intel ligent and respectable citizens themselves. They will not attend the primary meetings. These ward meetings are really of more impor tance in tbe aggregate than the national nomi nating conventions, as the actions ofthe latter are invariably determined by the men and principles endorsed in tbe former. It must be apparent :o all that if the oitdxens at large would determine to estimate adequately the merits and pretensions of all seeking office, and to advance none but those whose characters are as good as their principles, the benefit that would result to this country, politically and morally, would be incalculable." ROMAN CATHOLIC REGARD FOR LAW. Circular instructions were received from Rome by the Bishops in Sardinia, at the last advices, to resist the execution of the law suppressing the monasteries ; and the Bishops have repeat ed them in instructions to the monks and cler gy. By the decision of the Holy See, all who voted for the law, and all officers concerned in its execution, are. held to be ex-communicated from the church, under a decree of the Council of Trent, and must live and die without its sa craments and consolations. We bad occasion to show what these " Ex communications and Decj-ees of the Council of Trent" were, in the E. B. Letters to Bishop Hughes. The Sardinians, like the Italians in the Revolution of 1848, are unwilling that the Pope shall be master of their persons aad pro perty, as well us of their religion and their seuls. They are willing to submit to him in matters of Church, but not in matters of State, in matters of Spirituality, but not in the oon trol of Church Property, and henoe this Roman, Papal resistance to the Sardinian Law and Government. We read in the Genoa corres pondence of the Newark Advertiser, that the insurrectionary appeals of the Pope and Bish op, "Recommend that the doors aad gates be kept barred against the officers of government, and instruct the inmates to yield the keys only lo soperior force. The pains of excommunication are denounced against all who yield without resistance ; but when overpowered they are told that they may accept the compensatory pensions provided by the law! Some of the monks have, however, more wisely resolved to reject the life annuiti s, too debilitated by long seclusion to bear the cheerful light and dutiesJ ui me, uu ui seen, tueasyiums oi ineir oraer in other lands." Here then are open instructions from the Roman See to resist the law of the State, a moderate and just law, too, far behind the spirit of the times, even in one of the Governments of Italy. They are to create a mob. if they can. and not to attempt resistance is to expose them to tne pains oi ex-communication I If they tan then they are to claim ike compensation provi ded by the Stale!! Was there ever anything more cnaractenstically Jesuitical than this 7 Aimtliem the first ia iniait all those who voted for closing the corrupt monasteries in Sardinia. Anathema the second is against tbe State which passed the law. Anathema the third is against the priesthood who do not re sist the Sovereign law of the King and his Par liament as long as possible. But fioally, say the Bishops, you may lake the State's money ana Keep yon t places in Vie Jhurch. B . m Nev York Express. EDITORIAL PROPRIETIES. There is good sense in the following remarks from the Newark" Daily Advertiser. It will be a proud day forithe editorial profession when we all act up to these suggestions: ".next to the pleasure of harine opinions, is that of expressing them ; in some nersons the . .. . . i latter is the greater or the two. Thousands. indeed, don't care half so much for the real right and wrong upon a subject, as for an op portunity to hare a shy at it on one side or the other, and it is not of rnoob consequence which. oerious uiscussions to went are out et the ques uuu. a. ruouiug commentary on events, or popular questions, is one method of accom pushing their wishes, and this is easy and agreeable enough. Anotner is a xma ot editorial conversation in the columns of a paper. This may be good natured, or otherwise, and affords a michtv convenient way of filling them. But is it very proutauie to tne puono 10 do oDliged to over hear personal altercations whether in good or bad temper? Gossip or tattle of this sort may ue sometimes entertaining, frequently spicy, but the consistency, or inconsistency, the mis takes and faults, of an editor, are not so inter esting to the community as to the parties. Their controversies are often trivial to the last degree, and not seldom tend to lower all con cerned in public esteem, certainly in that of tne juaicious, ana rightly, too. Personalities, to b tolerated by all but vulgar minds, must b of the good humored sort ; gossip, to be fit for the common ear, should have a foundation of common interest or agreeable information. It will largely promote the dignity and utili ty of the press to divest whatever comes under their notice, as much as possible, of personal bearing. Let questions be debated on their real nature, without reference to men. Decis ions will then be more likely to be correct, than when complicated and distorted with consider ations external to them." Tbi Rbvkkck an the Crops. A Washing. ton letter says that tbe receipts of the revenue for July from duties indicate the arrival ot trade. The exports of 1855-56 will probably be greater than during any preceding year. All the staple crops of the country. North and South, are abundant beyond precedent; since the commencement of the American cotton tnA no such crop has been known as that which is now upon the ground moderate estimates place it 400,000 biles beyond the production of any preceding year. Wheat, corn, rye, oats all the cereals, will overflow our granaries, and beef, pork, and other meats, wifl he ahnnH.nt and cheap in proportion. So far as concerns our financial condition, the only danger now is that a similar abundancs will prevail ahmH All our accounts represent that th t E . wuo Ui urope are, like our own. lsreer than ha h gathered for years. Whether the productions of our agriculture will bear nrioea th.t .Ml tify exportation is now the question.
