      ta iii be the duty of a -wise statesman to plu « k the sting out of all such anniversaries . The 1 st and 12 th of July , with their historical events , vrould have brought no recollections fatal to the charities ef after times if Borne of the men of after times -were not strangers to the spi rit of charity . If it were not for such recent sanguinary exhibitions as have periodically disturbed the peace of the north of Ireland , the battle of the seventeenth century -would do now but little harm . Suffer not , then , the repetition of the savage scenes of Belfast or liolly ' s Brea to become a just apology for -endangering the stability of your Administration . " With such contemptible factions—become formidable only through excessive indulgence—rio wise or vigorous Government should fear to grapple ; and if their unhallowed , spirit were effectually laid , the names of the Boyne or of Aughrim would be as powerless in arming against each ¦ otber the children of the same soil as is now the name of Culloden in exciting to deadly conflict the peaceful borderers of England and Scotland . " Lord Eglintoun ' s Tour .- —The Lord-Lieutenant , accompanied , by several members of his household , left Dublin on Wednesday morning by the Midland Great Western Railway for Killarney , via Athlone and Killaloe . The Potato . —According to the Clonmel Chronicle , ttte blight lias actually made its appearance in several places in t"hat locality , but , as often remarked , statements like these are of annual occurrence since the first appearance of the fatal scourge twelve years since , and foi the last seven or eight seasons there has been happily little or no foundation for the alarm created by a few isolated cases of the old disease . — Times . Pkimoe Alfred arrived on Tuesday morning , i n the Admiralty yacht Black Eagle , at Queenstown , from V * lentia . On the evening of the same day , his Royal Highness left , and aTrived at Youghal about ten o ' clock atnight . Suicide at Dublint . —The Rev . D ' t * Sadleir , one of . the Senior bellows of Trinity College , and Senior Dean for this year , has committed suicide by hanging himself from a tree . The motive doe 3 not appsear .

      America. Alt* Excitement On The Subject ...

      AMERICA . ALT * excitement on the subject of the outrages has now died out in America , and the question appears to be set at rest by the explanations of the English Government . The principal Mormon elders have consented to deliver themselves into the custody of the United States Marshal , to await their trial on the charge of treason , provided they were tried by a jury i n no way connected with the antty . A party of Mormons , who arrived at Camp Scott in a half-starving condition , represented the church as being torn by dissensions , and said they wished to Teturn to the United States . Sufficient intelligence has been received at Washington to leave no doubt that Captain Marcy and his command have arrived at Camp Scott in safety . The latest accounts contradict tlie recent assertions with respect to the pacific dispositions of the Mormons . A call has been promulgated at Leavenworth signed

      by many citizens , for the organization of a Vigilance Committee in that city . The public meeting held pursuant to the call discountenanced sucli an organization , and adopted resolutions declaring that no necessity existed for its establishment , and expressing entire confidence in the authorities . Five persons have been "lynched " in Texas under circumstances of great horror . The Washington correspondent of the New York Herald says that , from a source in which he can place reliance , ho has been positively assured that , under the Mexican Comonfort Government , or that precodinfr it , a

      sale or cession was made of 89 , 000 , 000 acres of land in Sonora to a colonizing company in the United States vrbose head-quarters are in the city of NeWYork ; that the bargain was completed ; that the proofs are in one of the New York Banks ; and thut the Administration ut Washington know all about it . Sefior Koble , the Blexican Minister at Washington , has emphatically denied this statement . Now York has been visited by a most fearful tornado , which , though only continuing for half nn hour , has Ijmr most destructive to property , and bus killed two men and injured numerous persons . General Walker and Colonel Anderson , the Filibusters , have entered into their own roo'niiximcos in

      JNew Orleans to observe the neutrality laws . 11 is said , liowover , that tho former lias still his eye on Nicaragua . The latter has loft for New York . The Mobile papers «« y that General * Walker and Henningsen wcro received there with extravagant demonstrations of outhu-¦ aiaam .

      CONTINENTAL NOTES . That narrow and unchristian feeling is to be con-. demned which regards with , jealousy the process of foreign nations , and caves for no portion of the human race but that to which itself belongs . De . Aekoxd . FRANCE-. This Palace of the Elysee , the residence of the Emperor while he was President of the Republic , will be again occupied next winter .

The Pays announces that the Bank of France will cease to negotiate " obligations"" on account of railroad companies . It adds there only remain for distribution 75 , 000 , 000 of " obligations" necessary for the execution of the works of 1858 , and that a subscription will be opened for those " obligations /' French ships of war are to repair to the island of Crete , to protect , if circumstances require it , the subjects of King Otho . The Greek Government originally thought of sending a ship of war ; but the design was abandoned , as it . was feared it would lead to complications with Turkey . ¦ ¦ : ¦ " The Cotistituti & nnel" says the Daily News Paris correspondent , "is moved , I know not by what influences , to go against the current of recent articles in the Governmentpress , and to defend Lord Brougham . It says it has reason to know that his lordship never uttered in , the House of Lords the expressions imputed to him by all the English papers , to the effect that he was not surprised that the negroes on board the Kegina Coeli had massacred all the crew but one , and thut some people regretted that single exception . It speaks of Lord Brougham as a man who has lived in France long enough to love it , and who is almost a French citizen . " Tln ^ rtii Wnivi'hr \ 1 « lt- l »» a writ-ton n lifcl'tpr t'ri a fripnfl

Xo explanation was given . TURKEY . A misunderstanding has arisen between Turkey and Persia , owing to some disturbances among the Koords on the frontiers of the two . empires . The Turks and the Persians both complain that their territory has been violated by the troops of the opposite power in quelling the disturbance , and Persia has concentrated troops in the direction of the scene of the dispute ; but it is thought that nothing serious will grow out of the matter . SPAIN . Iii consequence of remarks recently made in the English House of Lords by the Earl of Malmesbury , touching the conduct of Spain in connexion with the slave trade , orders have been given to the Spanish Ambassador at London CSeiior Gonzales Bravo ) to quit his post .
