SPIRITOF¥ THE MORNING PRESS. The Union notices the proposed new anti- Democratic party, and announces a purpose to discuss the four propositions put forth by it, viz: A United States bank ; protective tariff; system of internal improvements; and distri- bution of the proceeds of the public lands. The Intelligencer has an appreciative no- tice of Hon. A. G. Brown, of Mississippi, just re-elected to the U. S. Senate. ——————_~2+e______ 1D™ The letters from Europe, by the Arabia, received at New York, are yenerally favorable, and predict no material troubie ahead. The Bank of England had reached its highest rate of interest, and the next change would, it is repre- Sented, be forthe better Manchester letters rep- resent that a fair business was doing, particalar- ly for ludia. The Arabia brings a considerable number of protested bills due, but these were an- tieipated U7 The London Times and the B bh Press generally are naturally and justly jubilant over the fall of Delhi, and the news will give hardly less pleasure in America than in Britain. It was no small work to accomplish this undertaking. The siege train consisted of 40 pieces of artille- ry. Stx days elapsed, even after the guns had been got into position and opened upon the de- fences, before the breeches were judged Practica- ble, and the number of Engineer and Artillery of- ficers killed or wounded in the operation—3 of the formes and 5 of the latter—proves how com- Pletely the affair assumed the aspect ofa regular siege.

Parties interested in and around a different location commenced a vigorous war on that actionof Congress, using the columns of the Ledger as their means of operating to make popularcapital in their work. In accordance with their petitions the Post- master General temporarily suspended his preparations to have the work commenced, that he might thoroughly investigate the truth of the allegations of those parties. He visited Philadelphia and did so; satisfying himself, we presume, that the contest was nothing more than such as invariably arises over the location of every important public building in any city. In the mean time the panic occurred, and he was earnestly recommended by every member ot Congress elect from the city, and nearly, if not quite, all the members elect from the city to the Legislature to proceed as soon as pos- sible to execute the law in the premises. Common sense will teach any one that those selected by the people to represent them here, and at Harrisburg, were more to beconfided in, as the representatives of their wishes and in- terests on such subjects, than any individual property holders and speculators in real estate in Philadelphia; and that in such a case as the one on which we are commenting, the Post- master General must necessarily be guided by the advice of the former, who are directly re- sponsible to their constituents for any advice they may give him on such a subject, instead of by those who are playing, on their own re- sponsibility only, for the advancement of their own personal interests. The intensity of the chagrin and disappoint- ment of the speculators on finding that the Post- master General has elected to carry out the design of Congress at this time, and thus ma- terially to alleviate the condition of the labor- ing poor of that city—rather than to delay action in the premises to enable them to grind their axes before Congress next winter) is abundantly manifested in the virulence of their attacks on that functionary published in the Ledger. In that journal they actually go to the extent of insinuating that a carriage which has lately been built in Philadelphia to his order, isa present to him from parties interested in his action above referred to. Of course this insin- uation needs no contradiction from us. Those interested in the prosperity of the city of Phil- adelphia should comprehend that thevery best way conceivable to destroy the prestige of its so popular manufacture, is the perpctration of so Villainous a trick fur revenge, as the pro- mulgation of the insinuation to which we refer. (tentlemen in public life can hardly hereafter venture to purchase carriages of Watson & Co., however much they may admire them, if the Philadelphia speculators thus misrepresent their acts in so doing. Tae Brooxtys Navy Yarv.—We are in- debted to the Journal of Commerce for the following sketch of a recent visit of the editor tothe Brooklyn Navy Yard, exhibiting. in a few brief paragraphs, a faithful daguerreotyye of the state of affairs there, which must prove of interest to our many readers in the service now abroad : A Tair to tHe Navy Yarp.—We availed of the opening of the Indian summer to wend our Way over the East River and onward tothe Navy Yard, for the purpose of seeing wha’ Uncle Sam is about ia these had times. On entering the yard, our attention was ar- las) and Jobnson county are attached in an elec- ion district for the purpose of electing members the and are entitled tothree mem- 7s of uneil.and eight members of the se las ty gave 1,100 Free State majority, Johnson, saw that and went 100 bet~ ter,” giving us majority, thus electing all vens But so soon as thé anti-Black Republican ma- e's Johtison reached here, even by report, Stanton commenced denouncing it #s a fraud. Walker was then jn Leavenworth. He reached Lecompton last Wednesday night, and next morning he, Stanton, Lieut. Carr, and the Exec- utive generally, set out to investigate this alleged fraud. They returned Friday night, having gone to Lawrence, the Free Soil headquarters, and took with them Babcock and two or three other L rence guides to show them where to inquire. Stanton, on being asked what he would do in rference to the certificates, said be would see his t arm cut off? before he would sign the certificates of a man elected by that Johnson county vote. Bear in mind that this Johnson county is the one between Douglas and the Missouri river. It lies on the river partly, and is bounded on the east altogether by Missouri. Its lands are uni- versally conceded to be the best in the Territory, with better timber and water, on the river, and as rich as soil can be. It is twenty-three miles Square, so you may calculate the number of quar- ter sections in it. ‘There cannot be found a va- cant claim. I know that two months ago men hunted the county for a claim and could not find one, a company Of Mississippians. Besides this, there are eight towns in the county. Ascorrobo- rative proof, I cite from an article written by G. W. Brown in the Herald of Freedom last spring, when he was dissuading the abolitionists from voting at the election for delegates to the conven- tion, Secsce: he says, there was ured into Jobnson county 3,000 men from Missouri, and they will control the election. Recollect, also, asa reason for its recent settlement, that it was what was constituted the ‘ Shawnee Reserve,” and was not open to settlement until January last, when it was immediately filled up, as the Herald of Freedom says, with 3,000 settlers, nearly all pro-slavery men. And yet, with these facts staring them in the face, Walker and Stan- ton say the returns are a fraud, and at the insti- ‘ation of Parrot, the Black Republican candidate for Congress, and G W. Brown, who waited on him from Lawrence, he went over to investigate the matter. Several of the members elect have met and resolved to goin the morning aud for- mally demand their certificates, and when be re- fuses immediately serve upon bim a mandamus. Returns have come in from remote counties in which everybody knows not fifty men live, show- ing a vote as follows; 260 Free-soilers to no Pro- slavery; and 335 to2 Pro-slavery; many such returns have come in and yet Walker and Stanton can see in this, no evidence of f.aud. Lawrence sent over into Leavenworth 150 votes, into Jeffer- son 70, into Doniphan 100, and in those remote counties, companies of from 20 to 30 to bring in those 260 and 335 and 290 vote returns, and yet this town of Lawrence polled 917 votes, 906 Free- cow to Ll Democratic. In all this they see no rand! ‘The result will be, if the Pro-slavery members elect from Johnson and Douglas do not get their seats the Legislature will stand—i4 Democratic, and 25 Free-soil, in the Council 4 Democratic to 9 Free-soil, and besides this, if they thus geta majority, itis their avowed intention to rule out the Leavenworth members, thus gaining § more members and 5 councilmen. e Legislature will then stand 35 Free-soilers to 4 Democratic in the Honse, and 12 Free-soilers to 1 Democrat in the Council—a beantiful body it will be ! Fraction an Rates or Postace.—The Post- master at Hartford, Conn., hag addressed the Postmaster General, calling attention to the anomalous condition of the rates of postage on regular newspapers aid periodicals; the table of regulations showing nineteen fractional rates, and every rate being fractional on the list of newspapers and periodicals not exceed- ing 1} oz. in weight, circulated in the States where published; thus presenting the singular discrepancy of a number of rates of postage re- quiring the payment of sums unknown to our currency ; Government at the same time de- manding fractional postage and repudiating fractional coins. It is found absolutely impos. sible for the subscriber to pay, or the Post- master to receive, the exact sum required by the Government; and it is suggested that a tariff of specific rates discarding all fractions would be in correspondence with our currency, and would require no impossibilities on the Tested by a well \:hich bas just been bored to the depth of some 25 feet, much of the way through solid rock, for the Pape of obtaining water to supply the station. e were informed that it had been done by contract to obtain a sup- ply of 10) gallons per minute; that the quantity desired had been obtained, but that the quality is mot good enough for geueral use. We more than bait suspect that Uncle Sam, like his nephews over the river. will have to depend upon the new water works of Brooklyn, after all It was eight o'clock in the morning—and soine eighteen huudred workingmen were rushing in through the gates towards the octagonal muster- house on the right of the main avenue, answer- ing to their names as called from the open win- dow by the yard-clerks, and then going off to different parts of the public ground in their re- spective working gangs. In less than half an hour this vast population of mechanics and la- borers were busily at work in the suops, on the wharves, and upon the new buildings, which are being erected—and the bum and bustle of active coer sneceeded the perfect quiet- “La which had before prevailed n the 0 poe Spece around the muster house the marine officers were exercising the guard of the North Carolina, and that of the Vincennes which is soon to sail for the coastof Africa.

There seem to be no ships building in the large ship-houses from which the Niagara and the Sabine were launched. The Vincennes is hauled off into the stream, and will sail for the coast of Africa in the course of next week. The Supply will sail so soon asshe can be loaded Wilu stores for our squadron on the coasts of Af- rica and Brazil. ‘The old frigate Savannah occu- pies the dry-dock, and is being reduced to the dimensions of a fiest class sloop-of-war—and the Brandywine and Potomac are lying in dinary near by. as though they were waiting a new dress of the same character. The Sabine, which we believe was nearly thirty yeais in building, and which Las never been even rigged, is housed over off the dry-dock—so far behind the times in her architectural style and proportions as to be considered by the officers quite unfashionable The Dispatch, that nuprotitavle purchase which was mude for the Hartstene Arctic Expedition, lies at one o6 the wharves as though the Govern- ment knew not what to do with ber—and yet she has a new set of builers and is ready for use.

The steamer Water Witch is at ancbor off the yard having arsived from Washington via Norfolk » few days since, with the properties for the construction department; and after taking in additional arti- cles here will sail soon for the Boston naval sta- tion. These were our observations of the morning spent within the bigh and yellow walls of Uncle Sam/’s naval dominions near our city—and this is what the humane and patriotic old gentieman is doing there in these hard times, affordin, ample means of living to more than cighteen hundred poor and bard-woiking men. Tae Kaxsas [Brogito.—Most readers in this region have wondered how and why it is that excitement exists in Kansas against Gov- ervor Walker and Secretary Stanton, the po- litical information heretofore spread before them coming. for the most part, from sources sympathizing in Gov. W.’s course, Indee*, | we ourself had, up to yesterday morning, seen no denial of the allegation that the Jobnson | county returns were fraudulent from beginning to end. That fact, however, Proves to be ve- hemently denied, as will be perceived by the following letter, which we take from the Mo bile Register, and re-publish by way of ex- plaining the evident grounds on which those who dissent from the propriety of Gov Walk- er’s course, will seek this winter to prevent its virtual endorsement by Congress. In repub- lishing the letter in question for the informa- tion of the Star's readers, we have to add that we know not that its statements are entitled to credit. That is « question to be solved here- after: Kansas, Oct. 18, 1957, Dyar S12: Our election has resulied as I an cipated Walser has sneeeeded in defeatiog w Parrott, the BL Republican candidate for Con- tens, Las been ted by about three thousand majority, We buve succeeded by the returns, however, in electing twenty-two members of the ‘ine in the lower house of the jature, and seven of thethirteen members of the Council But now to Walker.

The insanity is admitted, and the application is for him to be placed on the retired list Before Court No the case of Commander Ringgold was continued. Surgeon W. Whelan was recalled and examined ; after which, docu- mentary evidence was submitted by Comman- der R. Before Court No. 3, documentary evidence was being read in the case of ex-Captain Levy. A Secoxp Concert sy THE May Trovre.— Yesterday, a large number of our musical fel- low-citizens set to work to induce Miss May to give another concert here. We understand that their wishes will be complied with. We are satisfied that at its conclusion it will be found necessary for her to give a third, as on night before last there were persons of musical taste eager to gxin admittance into Carusi’s Saloon, who were preveuted from so doing by the fact that it was already overcrowded, enough to fill the hall twice over. Quite as many lingered for hours outside the building to catch the echo of her notes as were within the walls. Tae Escape or tue Finisuster WALKER AND HIS Foutowers has created no little ex- citement here. It is conceived that the U. S. ship-of-war—the Saratoga—cruising around bis contemplated landing place, will intercept him and hold him and his followers as pirates. It is a matter of little importance whether they be arrested on the sea or not, as the natives of the land they seek to spoil, are prepared to make short work with them wherever they may set foot on shore Government Vessets.—The Navy Depart ment has advices that the Susquehanna was at Spezzia October 24th, and was to sail in a few days for Key West.

Weare ouly in Possession of the particulars of the first two days’ struggle. The eng force amounted to 10,000; the besieged exceeded three or four times that number. General Wilson, be- fore the attack commenced, issued an address to his band in which he stated that no quarter was to be given to the mutineers, but that the women and children were to be spared. The address strongly impressed the soldiery with the neces- sity of ste ng well together, and by declaring that all the booty should become the common stock of the assailants, the commander restrained the indiscretion of the ee he ied. A writer from Bombay states that ‘ the principal loss sus- tained by the British troops was due to the ob- stinate resistance they met with in clearing their way along the ramparts to the Cabul gate, and afterwards in an attempt to penetrate beyond that point into the denser parts of the city in the direc- tion of the Jumna Musjid. The London Times, in announcing the triumph of the British arms, says: Delbi has fallen. On the 20th of Septemberthe city was completely in the possession of the be- sieging force, which appears to have stormed and carried the fortifications on the Ith of that month with great loss on both sides, our own being reckoned at forty officers and six hundred men killed and wounded. Until further intelligence arrives, the imagination of each of our readers must picture to itself the ghastly sights of blood and flame and spoil which filled the streets of the devoted capital during the six days which came between the assault and the final conquest. The first act of the great Drama of Retribution which we are now Playing out in the East has therefore closed, and before the second begins the spectators have time to meditate on the plot of the piece and the actors who have assisted in its development. Although the eyes of all the world have been fixed upon Delbi, and it has been naturally con- cluded the turning por of the struggle, yet we are not to suppose the difficulties of the war over; hor is this even without its dr#wbacks. The capture of Delhi must have the effect of liberai- ing many of the mutineers, who will present themselves elsewhere, swelling probably other bodies of insurgents. Ithad been debated among them whether to retreat tosome haping place low- er down the Jumma, so as to gain at least a day’s breathing time, or to join Nena ~ahib and the tr = surgents of Oude. ‘he probability is, that the reater part will wander over the country in saf- ficient bodies, and at such a distance from our troops, as to live by the indiscriminate plander of the peaceable inbabitants. Such a mode of life is familiar to the military tribes of India. It will be a task of no little difficulty te dis- Possess the soil of marauders who may yather some courage from despair, and who will cer- tainly multiply their atrocities in proportion to the Aone of theirtime. Nor can we regard without apprehension their desultory attempts to intercept our communications between the Lower and the Upper Provinces, and their possible suc- cess over small detachments on the match. Bat this is all that we fear. By this arrival we learn the good news that Gen. Havelock, having been joined by Gen. Outram, bad crossed the Ganges, and that the relief of Lucknow may be confident- ly expected. We conclude therefore that the neck of the mutiny is now broken, ils head crushed, and that nothing remains but feeble, dislocated, writhing fragments. In the end what escapes our arms will be absorbed into the mass of the people, and, befriended by time and re- turning prosperity, may so escape the retribution due to its crimes. The suspension of the New York and Boston banks had been received in England with satis- faction, as the only course fitted for the occasion.

Commerce is suspended. The cholera has begun to decline in the south of Sweden, but it is ascending northwards by the coast of the Gulf of Bothnia.
