When Burrows Sn backe ¢ to the mid dle of the road, they saw the smoke from the pistol, and Bishop immediately fell, the ball entering his reast, and causing almost instant death.

The man had stolen some shirts from several Irishmen, whe caught him for the purpose of administering Jaw. One of them, named Luke Flyn, strack ‘on the head with a pair of tongs; Flyn has le his escape, but the remainder of the party are in custody. This makes six or seven killing and murder cases that will come before the city eourt during its next session. The Astor House Opera Company have made a most decided failure in this city. “Although it is considered fashionable to attend the Opera, our fashionables have had such a surfeit of it during the season, that they can endure it no longer, so that, like everything connected with the Astor House, they seem very unfortunate. i y Signor Spinnetti, and his birds, are doing a fine business. : “ier The rush for the subordinate offices in the Bal- timore custom house is tremendous. ‘There are about seventy-five situations, ranging from $500 to $1,200, and for these there are at least six or seven hundred applicants.

The awful conflagration at St. Louis has darkened the proepects of a large number of our merchants, intimately connected in their business relations with these who are suflerers by this calamity. It will undoubtedly be heavily felt in New York also. ‘The most intense anxiety prevails to obtain the details and the names of the sufferers. The inundation of New Orleans is also a common topic of conversation, and there!is much anxiety felt to obtain later intelligence from that point. In these days of lightning it is rather unfortunaie that both telegraph lines should be interrupted at seme point, which it may be presumed is the case, from having to depend on the mail. What with the cholera, fire, and flood, our large cities seem doomed to calamitous visitations. 23h ‘There is a prospect of some fun this evening in Southwark, on the occasion of a meeting of Nutive Americans, to hear Lewis C.

The train for Baltimore that left at 10 o'clock Yast evening, when about two miles beyond Wil- mington, suddenly came upon a number of cattle, three of which were killed, throwing the engines, tender, and baggage car, off the track. The former was pitched off on the left side of the road, the tender upset across the track, and the baggage car overturned on the right. A fireman, and one or two pereons who were in the baggage car, were hurt, but not seriously. The train from Baltimore eame up some time after, but owing to the track weing encumbered, could not pass. Both trains were, therefore, detained about four hours. Our flour market is dull, buyers or sellers not agree- ing upon the rates. The former offer $450, but the latter demand $462}¢.

To the Democratic Elec of New York:— ‘The Democratic State Committee, appointed by the Democratic State Convention, held at Syracuse on the bth day of September last, pursuant to the authority vested in them by that convention, have dosignated Syracuse as the place, and Wednesday, the 5th day of September next, at 10 o'clock in the forenoon, as the time for holding the next Demoeratic State Convention; and they request the democratic electors of each as- sembly district to send a delegate to that convention, to nominate suitable candidates for a judgeof the court of appeals, and for State officers, to be chosen at the next general election, and to transact such other busi- ness as may be properly brought before that bod The present condition of the democratic party in this State, seems to justify the committee in accompanying the foregoing notice with some remarks. The distrac- tions and divisions of that party have not only given to its political opponents the eontrol of public affairs in this State, but brought upon the country at large, the further calamity of a whig administration, The bitter fruits of whig rule in this State and in the Union, are fast ripening for the people, and the advantages heretofore secured and enlnaee by the prevalence of the principles and policy of the democratic party, are likely to be lost, for a season at least, by the substitu- tion of a whig theory of administration, uncongenial in £0 many respects tothe spirit of our free institutions, It is not the intention of the committee to look into the past with a view to show where rests the responsi- ty of having fo seriously compromitted the welfare of the country. The mischief is beginning to be felt, and the democratic party generally are turning their attention to measures for removing it—they sce that what has been lost by division can best be recovered by union. " ‘The committce have not well discerned the signs of the times, if there be not a strong and increasing ineli- nation, cherished by nearly all those in this State who formerly acted with the democratic party, and were truly attached to its policy, but who ina season of ex- eitement quit its organization and opposed its candi- dates, to come togetner and unite in action for the common good, on the principles and usages which eon- stituted its ancient aud approved platform. The few who took the lead in getting up new issues, and formed strange associations, in the vain hope of success, or to answer other sinister and selfish objects, may not yet be prepared to yield to the prevailing influence which calls for union and united action; they may still eon- tinue their efforts to keep open the breach in our ranks, but surely it cannot be expected that any considerable number will be found to countenance their perversity, and blindly follow their lead, when it is seen that such a course can result infno good, and will be likely to prolong the ascendency of whig measures, not only in this State, but in the general government, ‘To some extent the efforts already made to unite the yarty have been successful; but in too many instances personal considerations and hostile feelings. not yet sufficiently subsided, have rendered these efforts un- availing—still the work is going on, and hopes may be reasonably indulged that it will ere long reach a prac- tical consummation. ‘The address of the democratic members of the Legia- lature is an invocation to the whole democratte party of this State to rally upon the common ground of doc- trines and principles, which all who were democrats have in times past approved, and to which none who still adhere to their former faith can reasonably ob- ject. The spirit of that address is highly conciliatory, and has called forth an approving response even from the mass of those who acted at the last election under the opposing or third party organization. The desire of a few who were active in getting up that organiza- tion, to prevent a union, or a determination on their part to accede to it only on terms which they have no right to ask, and whieh could not be accepted, has embarrassed the measure and prevented the mutual adoption of the liberal proposition for separate conven- tions, having a common Object, at the name time ond place. Had the address of the members of the Logis ture who favor the opposing organization left the desig- nation of the time and place of holding a convention to their State committee, un arrangement might have been made by the two State committees which would have consolidated the strength of the democratic party at the next election. As it is, not only no proposition is made by those who in the last great political contest between the democratic and the whig parties, separa- ted themselves at Herkimer andat Buffalo from the organization of the former, but they have fixed the time and place for their convention. No intimation is thrown out that union is desired by them, upon any fair, equal and admissible ground. So far from second- ing the conciliatory course recommended in the ad- dresa of the democratic embers, and which had been suggested previously, they disregarded and virtually refused to aceede to it: and their ultra presses have treated with scorn and ridicule that liberal suggestion. They repudiate all propositions, and evince a determi- nation to repel all advances, which do not come in hu- miliating terms of conceesion. Though these head- strong leaders, and the few presses they use for their purpores. do not, in this respect, represent the senti- ments of any considerable number of those who acted with them at the last election, they yet assume to con- trol their organization, and are thereby enabled to ob- struct the measures for union and cordial co-operation so generally desired, and sv certain, if once effected, to ensure # ccess. In thie§ condition of affairs, the committee saw no other course but to issue the foregoing notice for the usual convention at Syracuse; and they do not doupt, after the explanation here given, that their determi- nation will be very generally approved, and that al- most the entire mass of democratic voters, without re- ference to the positions occupied at the last election, will co-operate in sending delegates to that convention, and cheerfully support such candidates as it may re- commend for their suffrages. This expectation is the more confidently entertained, because they do not be- lieve there is any real difference in principle between the masses of the Party in regard to any measure which should constitute the foundation of a system of administration, They do not believe that any con- siderable number of democrats, who withheld their yotes from the democratic candidates at the last clec- tion, are distinctive abolitionists, or have made u their minds to become members of that party. Suc! as are not, would find it extremely difcult, after emancipating themselves from the nowly preseribed forms, to discover any substantial difference between their own notions and the general sentiments of the democratic party of the State, on the subject which has been artfully introduced apparently for the very purpose of distraction, and certainly they will find no such difference as showd sever all the ties that bound them to that party. To those who have beon tempo- rarily estranged from that party, aud have favored an adverse organ! ion, the sentiments of those with whom they formerly acted have been, and still continue to be, grossly misrepresented. In regard to slavery, the main subject of the assumed difference, their sen- timents are the same as those which have ever con- stituted the democratic creed on that point. They are not its advocates—they are opposed to extend- ing it—but where it exists by the sanction of the constitution, they hold that “Congress has not th right to interfere with They regret the pro- ceedings of the abolitionists, not because they look upon slavery with favor, but because they regard those Proceedings as a violati of the compromises of the constitution, and as a grievous and useless annoyance to some sections of the Union, and a serious check to gradual emancipation. They have no resentments to gratify by devising a ccurse of action and agitation on the subject which would be offensive to those rections of the Union less favored than themselves in regard to the institution of slavery. They always approach the fubject under a full sense of the difficulties and ors that sivround it;—they would avoid all unneces- siry irritation, but, at the same time, are ready to do what duty requires, and in the way tl Not differing as to the desired tertaining. it may be. some diversity of views us to the mode of reaching them. the subject should not, and, when democrats correetly understand each other, will uot. be the cause of schism among them The democratic party ix essentially national and It belongs to the whole country, and its ples ax much pervade and inelule every part of patriotic impulses embrace every on portions of the States of our glorious coulcasrattnn, te the great conflict of thefKevolution, in the war of 18: in the war with Mexico, each Gs which contributed #0 largely to the independence, the renown. elevation of the republic. and geograp! lines were unknown. The North and the South, the East and the West, gave freely, to the common cause, their undivided efforts, their tre » and their bost blood. The fathers of the republic proclaimed this anti-sectional and national sentiment as their rule of action; and the democratic party, following in their footsteps, and guided by their volee and example, have adhered to it as the touchstone of their faith and prac- tice. That great party of the country and the Union exnnot abandon or quit this position of n and fraternity with the rights. the interes welfare of the whole country. it has ever maintained, pre-eminently, that high attitude of patriotiem and duty.

The Cass members of the State Legislature, it will be recollected, professing a desire for harmony and avowing principles in relation to questions now at is- sue, approaching at least those entertained by the mass of democratic freemen of the State, recommend- ed that their State committee should call their State Convention at the time and place at whieh the dem cratic convention (or barnburners, as they would pr fer to call it) was fixed. The suggestion was favored by the majority of the Cass press in the interior ; but was opposed by the more ultra partisans of slavery ex- tension and practitioners and apologists of bank cor- ruption. ‘As the contrivaxce of an irresponsible State Central Committee, empowered to call conventions, was an in- genious invention of the Argus clique, for their own purposes, and not for those of the somewhat imperti- nent gentlemen of the State Legislature, or the edi- tors of the interior, who intruded their advice in the matter, the suggestion of a common time or place for holding the convention has been authoritatively over- ruled. Messrs. Pruyn, Peckham, Clark & Co,, making the Argus their organ, call their convention at Syra- cuse for the 5th of September. a week before the meet- ing of the democratic convention at Utica. ‘This is the conclusion to which, in spite ot its hypo- critical professions, we were sure hunkerism would ar- rive, When it was arranged between a whig judge and alate proprietor of the Evening Journal, that, at the diserction of the latter, the editor of the argue might have qusecenee of $130,000 of his indebtedness to the Canal Bank we knew that the editor was prac- tically under bonds to that amount to keep broken the peace of the democratic party, and that he would not be permitted, even if he desired, to assent to any union of sections of. the democratic purty,that promised suc- cess over their whig opponents. ‘The necessities of the ex. banker have prevailed over the counsels of u legislative caucus, and of the press of the interior ; and the public will recognise, in the trick of getting up a second convention, seven days before that already called by the democracy, an “urt- ful dodge,” worthy of the genius who has presided over the Canal Bank and a section of the democratic party, so profitably to himself, however disastrously to them.

BENTON, St. Louis, May 9, 1849, Notice to American Whalers and Navigators, The attention of this government having been re- cently invited by Lady Jane Franklin to the subject of the expedition consisting of two ships under the com- mand of Sir John Franklin and Captain Crozier, fitted out in 1845 by Her Brittanic Majesty's government for the discovery of the Northwest passage between the At- lantic and Pacific Oceans, the President of the United s has, after mature reflection, determined to pro- pare, and dispatch without unnecessary delay. two na- tional verscls, to seck forjand relieve those discovery ships; cr, failing in this purpose, to endeavor to ascct- tain their fate. Strongly interested in the subject by the cloquent appeal in behalf of Sir John Franklin and his companions, and impelled by motives of sympathy and humanity, we confidently anticipate that the adoption of the measure by the President will strike a reeponsive chord in the bosom of every American citi- zen, and be hailed with general approbation Atide from the inducement presented by the Bri Admiralty, in the offer of a liberal reward of tw: nity thousand pounds sterling to any ship or rhips, of any country, or to any exploring party whatever, who shail refiicient assistance to the missi vessels, or r crews, or any portion of them, it is not doubted that, nerved by the noblest motives, the navigating interests of the United States, and espocially American whalers, both in the Atlantic and Pacifle Oceans, will eagerly enter into a generous {competition with those of other nations, und lend their best energies to carry relief to the adventurous British mariners who have thus perilled their lives among the icebergs of the North, in endeavoring to sulve a problem which Has for centuries baffled the enterprise and science of the civilized world.—Nat.

At six o'clock last evening, twenty-four cholera cases had been reported at the Register's office, six of which terminated fatally. This is a falling off from the ave- rage mortality of last week of four per day. There isa striking coincidence as to the number of cases and deaths reported, during the past twenty-four hours, at Cincinnati and here. ‘The Circuit Court yosterday adjourned its session until the first Monday in June, in consequence, we pre- sume, of the great difficulty experienced in obtaining the altendance of jurors and witnesses from the coun- try, and of the representations of the members of the ie ‘The fine steamer America roached this city last even- ing, from New Orleans.

Resolved, That the preceding resolution be published in the several newspapers of the city, and that they be requested to call special attention to it on the part of the citizens. Attest, JAMES LEMON, Clerk Board of Health. Werx.y Revont or Deatits.—The weekly report of deaths. as made from all the grave yards in the city, up to yesterday, at noon, presents the following result : Whole number of deaths, one hundred and thirty- five; number of cholera cases, seventy-cight. ‘Twenty-eight of the deaths were of children under five years of age. It also appears from the report that eleven of the cases of cholera were brought to this city on steamboats, for interment. ‘The whole number of deaths for the same period in the previous week, was one hundred and forty-one. Of this number, forty-one were of eholera. It will be ob- served, that there is really a less number of deaths for the week, while the cases of cholera have nearly doubled —the epidemic, if it may be so termed in this case, ab- sorbing all other discases. ‘There can be no doubt, now, that the disease is spreading, and that, in its course, it must attack and carry off a. good many of our citizens.

It was a lucid, just. and satisfactory opinion, which ought to be pub- lished, in extenso, for the information of the mercantile community, We will state the case in as few words as porsible, It comes from New Bedford, where the par- ties interested live, Mr, Coffin and Mr. Clifford, of that city, argued it before a full bench. A whaling ship be- longing to Mattapoisett, a few miles above New Bed- ford, on the Fairhaven side, was insured by an office in New Bedford, out and home, with the usual qualitiea- tions. She started from Long wharf, in Mattapoisett, incharge of a pilot, went to sea, was gone two or three years, and returned fuil of oil, taking the same pilot at the customary place for inward bound vessels, destined to New Bedfcrd and other places in that vieinity. The pilot anchored in the harbor of New Bedford, some miles below her place of destination, Owing to stross of weather, and her heavy draught of water, it was im- possible for the pilot and others, having command of tho vessels, to get her in to the wharf whence she start- ed, for several days, although due dili; cied. A portion of her cargo was discharged, in small yerfels and she was thus lightened eight fect. so that she would finally be able to reach the wharf at high tide. But, unfortunately, the ship and the remaining part of her cargo were totally destroyed by fire during the next night. The insurance office refused to pay the owner? of the vessel, on the ground that the policy ex- pired twenty-four hours after the arrival of the vessel at New Bedford, The owners contended that she was insured till her arrival at the wharf, in Mattapoisett; and the pilot testified that heconsidered himself bound to ppt her there—that his duty would not have been wholly discharged until he had done this, if tho pro- perty had not been destroyed by fire. The court have sustained the ground taken by counsel for the owners, and given aclrar. unqualified opinion in t he amount at ivsue, we believe, is the decision is one which will be generally talked « by merchants and ship owners Law Intelligence, Crt Couwr—Vesterday, Daniel Drayton was tricd and convicted of transporting upwards of seventy rlaver, belonging to different owners from tho District of Columbia, The Court. senten pay a fine of $140 amd costs in each ease, and to be im. prironed until the said fines were all paid.
