It was not until some ten days since that Senator Douglas' illness assumed an alarming type. From the first be had been attended by some of our best medical talent, and latter latterly - ly latterly it was thought desirable to summon hither Dr. Miller of Washington, in whose care Mr. Douglas bad passed through tormer severe illnesses. Dr. Miller and the Washington rel relatives - atives relatives of Mrs. Douglas reached Chicago on the 25th ult., and since then have been closely in attendance upon him. Throughout the latter part of last week Mr. Douglas' condition was deemed extremely critical, with the chances-against bis recovery. His primary attack was acute rheumatism, .which rapidly assumed a typhoid character, and continued from the first very unyielding. After some ten or twelve days, his malady was complicated by an ulcerated sore throat, which soon yielded. To.porot the liver and constipation of the bowels ensued, soon fol followed - lowed followed by a jaundiced condition, accompanied by poisoning of the blood, which prostrated liis nervous system still more. A wandering and delirious state accompa accompanied - nied accompanied bis illness more or less from its inception to its fatal close. At such times as he was HK HKtional - tional HKtional last week, he seemed aware of tile grave fears entertained in his behalfl»and ofn one occasionjsaid to those about him that lie knew his constitution so much better than they did, he felt confident he should recover from the attack. Doubtless his will and cour courage, - age, courage, joined to his great physical powers, had much to do with his so long continuing to re resist - sist resist a malady before which feebler men would have rapidly succumbed. Throughout Saturday it was feared he could not survive many hours. As nightfall drew near, without any positive change hav having - ing having taken place in bis disease, he yet seemed easier and so passed the night. He had only brief intervals of consciousness after this, but lay in a quiet state, gradually but surely sink sinking. - ing. sinking. At times he briefly rallied but it was not to a clear conception of what was trans transpiring - piring transpiring about him. On one occasion indeed it was evident that memory and habit of mind was strong in the dyiffjj statesman, aud that his thoughts were once more in the senate chamber. One of his physicians, Dr. Hay, was administering a blister. 'VV bat are you doing?' asked the patient; 'stop, there are twenty against me, the measure is defeated.' At an early hour yesterday morning, he had an interval of rallying, was rational, conversed briefly with those about him, and then sank gently and quietly until ten minutes past 9 A. M., when he breathed bis last quietly, and without a struggle. His devoted and loving wife remained with him to the last moment. Such has been the anxiety with which news from this sick room had been looked for by the public that throughout Sunday almost hourly bulletins wera -posted in the office ot the Tremont House, fl'he earliest bulletin of yesterday reported ^Jmige Douglas is dying.' A little later, and the intelligence spread 'Judge Douglas is dead.' The mournful news spread rapidly through the city, extras and bulletins from the news newspaper - paper newspaper offices were eagerly sought. The court house bell was tolled for one hour. Never did a great city put on more rapidly and thor thoroughly - oughly thoroughly the symbols of grief, and never was grief more frank and thorough. It pervaded all classes, and visited all sections of the city. Along the business fronts of Lake and other principal streets,the bricks and marble donned the emblems of mourning. Festoons, wreaths, and pendants, in black and white intertwined, American flags at half mast and heavily drap draped, - ed, draped, in many instances bordered with black - blackall all blackall told of a city in mourning for her illustri illustrious - ous illustrious dead. Many of these mourning symbols in style and character deserve especial notice which our limits deny. None to us, however, were more touching than where, passing from more pretentious streets, and manifestations among the wealthier citizens, the eye noted the humble token of real and unaffected grief fluttering upon the lowly homes and places of business of the poorer classes of our Irish pop population - ulation population in sections of the city exclusively oc occupied - cupied occupied by them. This made the loss a per personal - sonal personal one, and took the grief home to their hearts in a manner characteristic of the Irish heart. The many laborers at work upon the Tremont House improvement, to a man, ask asked - ed asked to be released from their day's work, one stout hod-carrier protesting with a broken voic^tbat he "could not work the day, for Douglas is dead." In liis last days lie gave those who stocd near to minister to bis wants the most con convincing - vincing convincing assurances of the depth and earnest earnestness - ness earnestness of the lively love of country that filled his heart. In bis waking hours, as well as in tiiose moments when the violence of liis dis disease - ease disease unseated liis great intellect, he was busy with national events and the conflict that is now upon us. It was liis last wish that the work which will regenerate the country while rescuing it from his enemies should go rapidly on. To one, in a wandering mo moment, - ment, moment, lie said, station you at the Relay House. Move on!" Of another he-asked, "Why do we stand still ? let us press on! Let us Io Alexandria quick I" To still another he said, "Telegraph to the president and let the column move on!" And so, throughout the progress of the dis disease - ease disease which struck him down, he was thinking of his country and her peril. At Washington, in his imaginings, and in the command for which nature had titled him,and which would liav*been bestowed bad lie lived, he seemed to direct events and dictate victory. And when the lucid intervals came, he was, if not so'emphatic, not lees sincere. The salvation of the republic was uppeimost in his thoughts by day and by night. His own condition, the imminent peril of death, his complicated af affairs - fairs affairs gave him no concern. Almost his last coherent words were an ardent wish for the honor and prosperity of the republic by the defeat and dispersion of her enemies.

It appears to be settled that Jeff. Davis has changed his relations from Montgomery to Richmond ; and that Crenshaw," who whoever - ever whoever he may be, with a laudable desire for fame, has tendered to him the gratuitous use of his bouse as a mansion," with the furniture and negroes attached. Temper Temper" - " Temper" inPhSgenerosity with prudence, Mr. C. lim ite l the lease to three months, as it was quite uncertain what winds would blow upon his house during that stormy time. Equal Equally - ly Equally sensible ot the uncertainties of the fu ture, Jeff. Davis and his spiritually mind minded - ed minded premier Toombs, just before starting on their journey of state, issued a procla niation for a confederate fast, a season -of rebel genuflexion, to occur on Thursday! the 13th of June instant. The special sulyect of appeal is that the proofs of divine favor which have been showered upon the confeder ate states may be continued, and that their ef efforts - forts efforts "to maintain public liberty! individual rights ! and national independence !" may be crowned with success. This is the blazing falsehood which the architects of the re* bellion have used to give their cause a fair seeming to the world, and which they have the daring impiety to thrust in the face of heaven. Here was a form of - lic liberty," rational, constitutional, benefi beneficent - cent beneficent freedom, the best and most liberal in the world judged by its results, and by the con consent - sent consent of mankind, which they have taken up arms to destroy. Never, under any govern government - ment government were the "individual rights" of white men enjoyed upon so large a scale consistent with public safety. These, too, are to be at one blow destroyed, - together with that "na "national - tional "national independence" under which upon this continent, public liberty, and individual rights can alone be preserved. Look at Tennessee as an example of that public liberty which is the ideal of the rebel leaders - a state torn, distracted, dishonored, at the mercy of a cowardly mob, on the threshold of a bloody fraternal war. Take Virginia, hurried by a guilty intrigue into the gulf of secession, as a model of the development of the rebel theory of individual rights. Take South Carolina, with her familiar history for thirty years, as a pattern of that national independence for which the traitor armies are called upon to prey'. They appeal from their destroyers to the nation - from the gods of treason, rapine and oppression to which they seem to be given over, to the God under whose directing care good governments are ordained, and whose voice proclaims liberty throughout the land. In defending ourselves, we defend them for civil blessings which their guilty leaders can cannot - not cannot undeistand. THE BRITISH PRESS. The report is that the tone of the English press, on American affairs, "has improved." It may be a little less confident, and in some cases a little more changeable and uncertain. The London Post, Lord Palmerston's organ, has fallen into a habit of talking, on both sides of the question, with an occasional flutter of nervous anxiety in regard to what France will do. On the 21st day of May, the London Post made a very excellent statement of the ease of our southern rebels, declaring that is both the cause and the principle" of their revolt; and that journal, on that day, said very earnestly that the debates in parlia parliament - ment parliament should not hold this question of slavery of less consequence than commercial advan advantages. - tages. advantages. But, the next day, the same journal took in hand Mr. Seward and his instructions to Mr. Dayton, and being wholly lost in self conceit, selfishness, and commercial cansidera. tions, favored the cause of this conspiracy of the slave power, and said "no one at the pres* ent time can doubt or question the de facto independence ot the southern states." It is perceptible, however, that the writer of this second article shivered with fear of being out. maneuvered in this matter by France. He could not get through the article without un undertaking - dertaking undertaking to say what France will and will not do.

FBOM BALTIMORE Baltimore, Md., June 3, 1861. Mr. Editor: - The majority of the people of Maryland are undoubtedly Union in senti sentiment, - ment, sentiment, and loyal to the government; but there are a great many in this city who are seces secesoionists - oionists secesoionists at heart, and who would not stop at anything to drag the state out of the Union and plunge our citizens into al! the horrors of civil war. Though the secession feeling is subdued, yet I believe it is as strong now, if not stronger, than it was a few weeks ago. One of the arguments used to keep alive and strengthen this feeling is, that in case a separ separation - ation separation of this country should take place, Balti' more would become the great commercial em emporium - porium emporium ot the south. A more fallacious idea never entered the mind of man, and the only ' wonder is, that any one possessing common sense and the slightest knowledge ot the laws of trade, should entertain it for a moment. As an evidence to what the secessionists will resort to in order to excite the prejudices of our people, I give you the following as a case in point. A week or two ago a piano manutacl urer of this city, received a letter from a gentleman ot his acquaintance down south, in which he wrote that he had fully made up his mind to purchase one of his very best pianos for liis daughter: but when he found that Maryland was not likely to secede from the Union, he had changed his mind, and did not intend to buy anything in Baltimore until Maryland was ready to unite her destinies with the southern confederacy. The bait took, and the poor piano manufacturer has changed from a union man to a secessionist and is fully convinced that the interests of Maryland are entirely with the south, and in order to sell as many pianos as he can make, it is only neces necessary - sary necessary that the Union should be dissolved at once I Poor fellow ! for the sake ol selling a piano he is willing to sell liis country ! Tliedisunionists of the Fourth Congression Congressional - al Congressional District, have nominated the Hon. Robert M. Me Lane, late minister to Mexico, as their candidate for Congress. This is the gentle gentleman - man gentleman who was going to make the Susquehan Susquehanna - na Susquehanna run blood if any northern troops should at attempt - tempt attempt to cross it for the purpose of going south. To his incendiarism and invocations of violence are in a great measure attributable the terrible condition of affairs consequent upon the riot of April 19th, from which the city has suffered so much. We have now four candidates in the field - Hon. H. Winter Da Davis, - vis, Davis, Union, Hon. R. M. Me Lane, Disunion, Hon. Henry May, Independent, and Mr. Um Umbaugh, - baugh, Umbaugh, Esq., Conditional Union,. Southern Rights, &e. The nomination of Mr. Me Lane will increase the chances of Mr. Davis, as many will be driven to his support who might otherwise vote for the Independent candidate. Algar.

"Gods," said he, "I wish for noth nothing - ing nothing more on earth, or in heaven, than to stand in Richmond to day with our army of brave fellows, and the order in my hand to lead them through the southern states to New Or Orleans." - leans."

'rhe Election Riots in Newfoundland. The St. Johns correspondent ot the Boston Traveller gives a graphic account of the late election riots in that place. Speaking of tlie firing of tlie troops upon the mob, he says: - "It was a scene never to be forgotten. Col. Grant, who commanded the troops in person, from liis position on horseback, was a mark for the mob, the foremost ot whom are said to have attempted to snatch the anus from the soldiers. The riot act bad been read by the chief magistrate of the town, who handed the conduct of affairs to the colonel. The orders to 'Make ready I' 'Present!' 'Fire!' were given.

The bishop himself was quietly walking in the street, at the same time - which was the evening ot tlie day the Assembly met, and an hour or two before the firing of the troops upon Ilie mob, mentioned above - and was pelteuwith stones! Protestant members of the house and council had to be escorted to tiieir homes by the military and police to pro protect - tect protect them from the like usage. About an hour after the attempt to burn the bishop's house, Judge Robinson's stables was burned to the ground, with horses, carriages, bay, &c ; his residence lieing with difficulty preserved from tlie same fate : Judfle Robinson is a protestant Wednesday morning, about one o'clock, the country residence ot the Hon. the Attorney.
