_Sun's_ advertisements are crowded down to a single page, as usual. Judge CONNOLLY, after walking all the way from Yorkville, agrees with the _Sun_ in believing, that something more than an umbrella tempted this young MONTMORENCY PADREGON to waylay EDWIN WOOD. To-morrow we shall give the public still further exclusive revelations, such as the immense circulation of the New York _Sun_ enables us especially to obtain. On this, as upon every occasion of the publication of the _Sun,_ we shall leave out columns upon columns of profitable advertising, in order that no reader of the _Sun_ shall be stinted in his criminal news. The _Sun_ (price two cents) has never yet been bought by advertisers, and never will be." The _Tribune_ said: "What time the reader can spare from perusing our special dispatches concerning the progress of Smalleyism in Europe, shall, undoubtedly, be given to our female-reporter's account of the alleged tragedy at Bumperville.

The _World_ said: "_Acerrima proximorum odia;_ and, under the present infamous Radical abuse of empire, the hatred between brothers, first fostered by the eleutheromaniacs of Abolitionism, is bearing its bitter fruit of private assassination at last. Somewhere amongst our _loci communes_ of to-day may be found a report of the supposed death, at Hampsteadville (_not_ Bumperville, as a radical contemporary has it,) of a young Northerner named GOODWIN BLOOD, at the hands of a Southern gentleman belonging to the stately old Southern family of PENTORRENS. The PENTORRENS' are related, by old cavalier stock, to the Dukes of Mandeville, whose present ducal descendant combines the elegance of an Esterhazy with the intellect of an Argyle. That a scion of such blood as this has reduced a fellow-b
