Thompson, arrived yesterday, in & passage over the Atlan- tic of only twenty-four days, bringing advices from Havre to the 5th October, inclusive. We learn from Capt. T., that on the 25th inst., at 8 o’clock A. M., in lat. 42 31, lon. 59 34, he passed the French steamer Philadelphia, bound to this port. She was making about eight miles an hour, and from her course, and the slow rate she was going, it was thought that she must have been out of coal, and that she was making for the nearest port—probably Halifax. The Zurich, in three hours, left her, hull down, com- pletely out of sight. The advices from Bologna are of the 25th ult. ‘The persons arrested on the night of the 16th have been all discharged, with the exception of M. Pigozzi, who has published, without the per- mission of the censor, a letter justifying his conduct. b The common council voted eight thousand Roman crowns to arm the National (iuard of Bo- logna. The Ferrarese, on the 22d ult., saluted the Tuscan flag. There were cries of ‘‘ Vive Pius IX,” “Vive Independence Italienne,” ‘ Vive le Cardinal Cracchi.” The Austrian garrison re- mained all day on their arms. We learn that six Austrian regiments are on their route to form a military cordon on the Piedmontese frontier. They have already arriv- ed at Milan. It is supposed the Sardinian gov- ernment will take the same measures. It is said that Austria already has 60,000 men on the line of the Po, between Plaisance and Ferrara. The Duke of Modena has re-entered his do- minions, with the reigning duke,,and the here- ditary Prince of Lucca. An Austrian official arrived yesterday from Ferrara, and continued his journey direct te Rome and Naples. Austria insists on obtaining the passage for a body of her army, destined for the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The Pope is formally opposed to this passage. M. Zanotini, member of the provisionary gov- ernment of 1834, has just returned to Bologna, after sixteen years exile. Somewhat of a serious episode has disturbed the calin that has lately fallen on affairs in the Spanish capital. Some hint having appeared in El Faro, a Madrid paper, that M. Salamanca, of the Cabinet, was endeavoring to create a new power near the Queen, a young Colonel Gand: ra, a determined partisan of Espartero, conceiv- ed that he was alluded to, and demanded an apo- logy from the editors. A lame one was publish- ed after a lively argument among the editors, the principal one and two of his colleagues retiring from the paper on its appearance. The Colonel was not satisfied with the apology, and challeng- ed M. Coello, the chief editor, who had retired from the paper. The challenge was taken up for him by the ad interim actual editor, M. Tasara, and a meeting took place; but after two harmless shots on both sides, the affair terminated with- out injury on either side. It is said that the new Captain General of Ca- talonia, Don Manuel de la Concha, has written to the government that he hopes by the end of October that not one single band of armed Car- lists will remain in that province. ‘The Queen has granted a second private au- dience to Colone! Gurrea, former Secretary of the Duke of Victoria. The grape gathering has already begun in France. [he crops in Provence, Roussillon, Narbonne, Montpellser and Nimes will be larger than last year. The wine of Bordeaux (claret) is generally thought to be excellent and extra.— Champagne and Burgundy will be abundant and of a superior quality. The Rhenish wine will also be of a capital brand. We see by the prece- ding that the wine’s récolte will be remarkable this year, and that the rumors that the grapes would not arrive to maturity were false and er- Toneous. gppurt, ‘Tne Currency Question in Great Britain. A powerful party is springing up in England, in opposition to the Bank Restriction Act of 1844. A league has been formed, and we have no doubt a systematic effort will be made to bring about the repeal of the Peel act, similar to that made for the modification of the corn laws. The success of the free trade league, has, no doubt, induced many to believe that the opposi- tion to the present bank bill will ultimately be equally so. A convention had been called, and we may receive by the next steamer from Liver- pool, something more definite relative to the proe- gress of the party. The following is a synopsis of the currency system proposed by the league:— Ist. That gold ought to be be treated av 8 commodity, a im its price under the action of the law of demand. in accordance with this principle, the mint jd, established by act of parliament, ought to 3d. That a perfectly safe and efficient substitute for , as the instrument of internal exchanges, may be in paper money te be issued exclusively by the the advice and with the sanction of Par- it. 4th. That, to guard against the possibility of depre- , through zscasty tovuve, the emaual sanoutts of y, the next legislators to plece our navalarm on a more com- prehensive and larger footing than it is in now, ever, or has been. That it is not adequate in time of peace to protect our commerce, or in time of war to re- sist the fleets of the other great powers of the world, is a proposition which our read- ers will agree with us in thinking needs no proof. The fact ie, unfortunately, too palpable. Even in the war with Mexico, the inadequacy of our navy has been fully manifested. Instead of having means at hand of its own for transport- ing troops to the enemy’s country, our govern- ment wes obliged to go into the market at a time when freights were unusually high, and charter merchant vessels at ruinous charges. Indeed, it is pretty well ascer- tained that, on several occasions, it paid rates of freight which, in a few months, would suffice to purchase the same vessels. The money expend- ed in the war would have gone a good way in increasing the navy, and placing the government in an independent position. If we were situated in this manner in a war with Mexico, how would it fare with us ina war with England, or any other of the great European Jpowers? How would we have been situated in case we had had Mexico and Eng- land on our hands at the same time ? Such an event, at one time, did not seem improbable. In fact, it is pretty well known that Mexico de- layed commencing hostilities, to see’the result of our dispute on the Oregon question. She hoped and expected that that would have led to hosti- lities between the two countries. Such, how- ever, did not befall us. We are directly at issue with France and Eng- land on the American balance of power question. Those powers have asserted a principle which we have never admitted, and which we have de- cided upon not to admit—without regard to con- sequences. It is now incorporated with us, and we cannot recede from the position we have ta- ken in regard to it, without disgrace. Until those powers then recede, or until they shall have al- lowed it to slumber so long that it will, like the principle of the right of search and impressment, have become obselete by /apsus temporis,we shall be liable to war at any moment. In the event of a war, how would we stand, premising that as recently as last summer, we had not a vessel to even return a salute to that of a foreign ship of war that visited our harbor? The following is a comparative view of the ne- vies of England and the United States :— U.S. GB.

We ought tohave a navy at least four times as large as the pre- sent. West Inpian News.—We are in receipt of a file of the Kingston Morning Journal, trom which we extract the following items :— The Barbadoes Globe of the 23d ult. says it was un- derstood that her Majesty’s ernment have directed the abolition of all the fees hitherto received by the pri- of the -general or lieutenant-go- vate secretaries governor. vernory of the West India islands. The same paper states that it has heard, on what it considers authority, derived from letters brought by the packet, that orders have been received from his overnment by the Danish governer of St. Thomas and ta Cruz, to prepare the proprietors in those islands for the immediate emancipation of their slaves; and it is further confident: thet sim! hay been transmitted to the Daeg of the French islands.

The whigsare united and sanguine of success. The democrats, on the contrary, are split and divided into factions, and feel despon- dent. Their only hope is in electingtheir Assem- bly ticket. We have rarely seen the democrats in such a quandary as they are in at present. Hitherto they have managed, by threats and promises, to reconcile their differences before the eventful hour of meeting their opponents; but all hope of healing the breach now existing among them seems to have fled, unless they take a drink and settle their troubles before sunset to-morrow. The barnburners have become desperate, and seem determined to cut connection with the old hunkers, and we look for some amusing scenes between them hereafter. The nominations of the whigs, abolitionists, democrats, national reformers, &c., &c., are made—they are probably as good as the gen- eral run of nominations in these days. Our voters can take their choice, and vote for such of them asare, in their opinion, most competent to fill the offices tor which they are nominated; and this we would encourage them to do. We would like to see some of the nominees of each party elected, for experience has shown that when of- fices of trust and emolument are divided be- tween rival parties, the duties appertaining to them are better discharged than if they were tilled by nominees of but one. ‘Theatrical and Musical. Panx Tuxatar.—The beautiful opera of “Lucrezia Borgia” was produced at the) Park last evening ina manner that reflects great credit upon the singers, as The Aan Street Marder. yesterday morning proceeded to hold an inquest upon the body of Alexander Neill, painter, who was found horribly murdered in his workshop, No. 43 Ann street. on Thursday last. The following evidence was adduced in the case :— TESTIMONY. Wiiitam Parmer, residing at 97 Varick street, being sworn, says—I wasacquainted with Alexander H. Neill, the deceased; we were connected by marriage; my place of business is the Argus office, 79 Chatham street; yesterday morning I left tmy house at 9 o'clock for mny office, 79 Chatham street; I got to the office about 20 minutes past 9; from there I went down town, and stopped at Mr.'Horn’s’, 13¢ Ann street; I remained there a few moments, and said to Horn that I would go down and see the deceased a few moments; I left Horn’s and went to 43 Ann street, the place of business of the deceazed; while on the opposite side of the way, just above Mr Neill’s place, I observed that the doors of the shop of the deceased were closed; on crossing the street ‘nd passing the door, I noticed that one of the half doors stood ajar some two inches; the deceased occu pied the basement; I went in, and when about half way through the front part of the basement, | observed the legs of a man lying on the floor. in the back office; there is a glass door between the rooms; the door w3s open; on going to the door I cast my eyes towards his head, sup- posing that he had lain down to read the paper or take anap; on looking at his head and seeing the confusion in the place, I suspected that something was wrong, and became fright and turned and got up stairs as quick as poasible, told two or three persons who were there to go beiow, that Mr. Neill was murdered or had committed suicide: Mr. Matthews and othe I went to the second ws mation to the offloers, ve infor- wiring that they would accom- pany me ; they did 60, and took possession of the base- ment; when I first saw the deceased lying on the floor I thought I saw bubbles of air and blood coming from his mouth; when I first discovered the deceased it was about 20 minutes before 10 o'clock inthe morning; it did not vary more than five minutes either way from this time; the deceased was of a very kind and gentle disposition; @ married man, having two children; there was no per- son in the basement when I discovered the recognised him by bis dress, ko; I never knew that he had 4 quarrel with any person; there was a stool or half chair lying a little to the right of the place where the deceased lay; the stool now shown me is the stool that was in the office of the deceased; one of the logs was partially broken, and had been #0 some time previous; well as the artists who sided in putting it upon the stage. We have seldom seen so much enthusiasm as was displayed last evening by the audience on hear- ing Madame Bishop’s execution of the captivating mu- silo im “Lucreaia,”” The beautiful air in the’first act, as well asthe duets with Gennoro, (Reeves) were sung a5 we have not often heard them. In the second act. Sig. Valtellina, as the Duke, displayed, to the best advan- tage, the msjestic beauty of his voice, The scene in the ducal palace was alsoexcellent. In fact, it is useless to mention the points of excellence, for the whole opera ‘was well performed. Mme. Macfarren made her first appearance in the part of Maffio Orsini, and was very well received; she has a voice of considerable compass. “Luorezia” will be given again en Monday evening, and Judging from the full benches of Saturday night, we ‘are prepared to see a crowded house on this occasion. ‘The management of the Park deserve especial praise for the care with which they have had this piece put upon the stage. Bowery Tuxatax.—The services of the whole of the extensive stock company of the Bowery Theatre will be in requisition on Monday evening, in a series of pieces which have never been performed without drawing down the house. The first piece marked on the pro- gramme is the “ Battle of Bunker Hill, or Boston Boys of 1776,” in which Mr. Marshall, Mr. Burke, &c., will take the principal characters. The second is the come- dy of‘ Family Jars,” and the last is the beautiful drama of Gilderoy,or the Riever’s Ransom.” On Tuesday e ning the benefit of Mr. C. W. Clarke will take place, and from what we know of his career, of his merits, and of his popularity, we think it only necessary to announce the fact to make the receipts on the occasion as great as those of any night of the season. Cuatuam Tueatne.—Barney Williams, the favorite Irish comedian commences an engagement at the Cha- tham Theatre on Monday evening,and will, inconjunotion with Mr. De Bar and Miss Vallee, amuse the patrons of that favorite establishment during the whole of next week. Such attractions as these, of course, involve a serious outlay, but there is no doubt that Mr. Fletcher will be reimbursed. The ballet of “Giselle,” with Mins Vallee in the principal character; thi the Tiler,” Mr. Williams as of the “ Bronze Horse,’ is the bill for Monday evening— one which our readers know is admirabl; pted to the Feapestive talent of the artists who will appear in the several pieces enumerated.
