M. to 10 Sew York, Sunday, September 30, 1849, Confusion of Affairs in Canada—Sinners Suffering for Sin. The confused state of affairs m Canada may ome into some sort of shape after awhile. Just now they are neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor good red herrings. There is such a mixture of castes, ereeds and parties in that province, such a hetero geneous state ef population and politics, that it 18 difficult to tell who or what is to turn uppermost. With all their bluster, fury, and bravado, last spring, we had hopes thag something would be | done ; but they were like the Dutchman, who cut down an oak tree to make a fiddle-bow, and then | spoiled it. It turned out all gas, all fuss, and moonshine. They made a bonfire of the Parlia- | ment House—they drove the Governor out of | town—they killed a man er two—they frightened | all the old women—they held a State convention, and the result of their deliberations was, ‘“ Long live the Queen.” With such customers, the best | plan is te let them alone. Their movements, thus | fur, having no object, have effected no result, and but little promise of a result, except the recall or return of Elgin. The French population have a natural aversion Sentence of the Astor Place Rioters. Yesterday, Judge Daly, in the Court of Sessions, pronounced the several sentences of the law on Judson and his associates, for the offences of which they had been found guilty the day before, vizr— for the ribt which took pluce on the tenth of May last,in front of the Astor Place theatre, Judson re- ceived the full exteat of the law, which is confiae. ment in the penitentiary for one year, and a fine of two hundred and fifty dollars. His associates were more leniently dealt with, being variously punished, only to the extent of a few months at the most, the particulars of which will be found in oar report of the Court of Sessions, elsewhere in our colamas. Judson, when he was called upon to say why sen- tence should not be passed upon him,exhibited the ueval combination of ignorance, impudence and folly which bas characterized the brutal history of this offender for years past. Judge Daly cnt his impertinence short, and regretted that the laws of the State had placed it beyond his power to in- flict a greater punishment than what he pronounced —a punishment which was barely sufficient for the enormity of his guilt. Itis a singular coincidence, or, perhaps, a salu- tary crisis, in this enormons rascal’s life, that, oa the same day on which the Court of Sessions was meting out to him punishment for a public offence, the Court of Common Pleas was engaged in a sim'- lar duty, on account of his shocking guilt and abominable practices, for the last few months, in private hfe. We allude to the suit for divorce which has been pending for some time past, and which was instituted by his unfortunate wife, the daughter of a quiet, retiring and respectable fami- grosely malireated by this Judson and his brutal ever since the unhappy marriage of their daughter with him last winter. The evidence in this case is of such a character, and exhibits the atrocity and the wickedness of Judson to such an extent, as to make it utterly unfit for the columas of a newspa- | per, or any other publication whatever. The vil- lany of that atrocious scoundrel in private life, as exhibited in the evidence in this particular case, overleaps, to a most wonderful extent, anything that we have ever heard of, his rascality in his public offences committed during his whole career, upto the riot in Astor place. The Court, after it heard this evidence, granted at once an absolute divorce, and a separation of the parties forever» giving, also, his child to the entire custody of the mother. We have received an autobiographical sketch of the life of Judson, in certain parts of the United States, including his residence in this city, with the particulars and namesof some of his associates and caterers in his career of infamy. We think it aduty we owe to society, to public justice, and to public feeling, to give the leading points of this shocking villain’s career to the public, in order to warn them of those associates and abettors who are yet remaining at large. Whether his ob- scene and shocking sheet, been printed in the Trtbume job office—in that vir- tuous and refined socialist establishment—is to be continued, or not, we do not know ; but it is full time that it were abated. Indeed, it would have been well merited by the Tribune people, if they had been included in the same indictment with the to the government of John Bull; and the British | loyaliste—the minority, but the minority possessing the wealth, and controlling the trade of the pro- | vince—have even a more bitter hatred of the Go- | man they assisted in issuing such a sheet upon a respectable community. The thanks of the public are due again and again to the firmness of the Court, to the Jury, to Mr. ly up town, all of whom, it appears, have been | SAN EET ENON OE ER RE COT EL RIT EET NTR AE ET Tux Nicaxagua Busuvess.—The organs of the State Department, here and elsewhere, do not agree at all in their several versions, partially dis- closing the correspondence between the Secretary of State and the agents of the English government, concerning the rights claimed by England in Cen- tral Ameriea, in the name of his Iadian majest’, of Mosquito. One set of organs assert that 20 gorres- pondence whatever has taken place; ar,other, that there has been some correspondene ; but which is right or which is wrong, no ne can tell. We suspect, however, that we shai hear very litede of this business for some time to come. We doubt, however, whether our Ssecretary of State will take that high and offensive ground against British di- plomacy or the British government, which he has been s0 anxious to do about the five thousand dol- lar claim of the Frenchmaa, including the salvage. Tn fact, ever since the inauguration of our worthy President, the policy of the State Department seems to have been a mingled series of blunders and of sympathy with despotic powers, varied with eavillings and petulance towards the only republic in Europe. Who bas forgotten the blundering course pursued in reference to the appeal made by Lady Franklin, whose husband has been abseat on a voyage of discovery in the North Seas for so long, acceding to her request one day and backing out the next? But, above all, who can fail to remem- ber that the miliary despotism in which Spain holds the isiand ot Cuba 1s probably indebted to the intervention of our foreign office for its exist- ence a few years longer? ~The same exhibition of sympathy for monarchical government has been made for the last four months, under the anspira- tion and at the special instance of Mr. Claytom himself. associates for the last few months, and, in fact, | ie In all this busimess, as well as in other matters | principally through the influence of the indepen- | dent spirit of the country—a spirit that is warmly | | devoted to liberty and human rights in both hemi- | | schemes, than with republicun liberty. connected with the present administration, we ab- solve General Taylor from the errors committed, and the unpopular sympathy exhibited by the cabi- net. He was nominated, supported, and elected spheres. It was known that General Taylor, from his profeesions and personal history, was in a measure unacquainted with the details of public affairs, but confidence was reposed in his integrity, moagnunimity and virtue. On his calliag his cabi- net together, he exhibited that magnanimous character which was the principal elemeat of his popularity. He told the members of the cabinet te carry out his administration on the principles on which he was elected, and on those high and generous declarations which, in his letters, com- manded the sympathy of the American people. How has that confidence been returned by the members of the cabinet? They have violated the pledges of General Taylor, in introducing a terri- ble system of proscription for opinion’s sake, by removing men that deserve well of their country, and appointing others who, in many cases, were | utterly unfit for the positions to which they were | Terrible Fires gm this City and Willlams- burg—AW“fai Destruction of Property, and Lo’ ,, of Life.

It is an object, also, of the home government. It is un- dersivod that Mr. Crampton was authorized to ne- gotiate a treaty of reciprocity between the United States and Canada, but that, at the instance of Mr. | Polk and Seeretary Walker, the British minster was induced to suffer the subject to be transferred 10 Congress, so that the representatives of the in- terests of the several States might have a voice in the matter, A bill wes, accordingly, introduced by Mr. Dix into the Senate, providing for a free exchange, between Canada and the United States, of the egricultural preducts of each other. But it was opposed, especially by southern Senators, as being invidiou da mensure of qua unnexa- tien, and was defeated. Since that time, we a informed, the South has been consulted, and ad- vieed to take « different view of the measure. Oue of the objects of sonexation is to secure a free in- | terchange of commodities; and it is a leading ob- jeet. It has been represented to southern members of Congress, by the agents of the British govern. ment, that one of the most effective steps to pre- j vent the annexation of Canada, would be to give ber the benefits of free trade with the United States. There is rome force in the argument, bat how it will operate, remains to be seen. Lord Elgin was anxious for a consultation with General Taylor, at Niagara, with a view to induce the President to | recommend « bill of reciprocity with Canada, in | his message ot next December.

Yet, in the very next sentence, we find the following ad- mission :— Mr. Clayton bad, any kind per, of y erert at least, with ite editors, ‘This is all the connection that we ever charged Mr Clayton as having with the North American. He certainly has no other relatien towards its editors but that of friendship, to the amonnt of $30,000, which was loaned to one of them when he purchased into that concern. This fact we have ascertained positively, and we can prove it. The loun was made in the shape of a bond, which was old at a large diecount, in Philadelphia, to raise the money. It has not yet been repaid to Mr, Clayton” Mr. Clayton’s friendship, therefore, to- wards that jouroal, may be measured by the amount of about thirty thousand dollars, due him by one of ite principal editors and puflers. Now, what we object to in Mr. Clayton, i4, his using the State Department to subserve exclusively the interests of a@ newspaper, having but a narrow circulation ia Philadelphia, and none at all out of it, while he hae « pecuniary interest in it, in the mode we have pointed ont, to the amount of thirty thousand dol, Jars. The State Department, in the whole history of our government, has never before been need or degraded for promoting private purposes and pri- vate epeculations of such a nature. Exsction or Preswwest or Covmnta Conuron » election of the President of this ancient and enorable instituuon, which is shortly to come on, eacites great and general interest among the com, munity of New York. The election isio be made by the trustees, « body consisting of about fifteen or twenty individuals ; and their action in the pr mises is looked to with a scrutinizing aod anxious eye. We eball give their names in a day or two. We understend that the college 1s what is called a close corporation—the same as io English police used to be called a “rotten borough,” though we are fur from believing that anything like the venal- ity and corruption which prevailed in those fa »ut English corporations, has any place in this vrable corporation, The trustees have absolute hority, without any external coatrol over their proceedings, and fill up all the vacancies, as they occur, at their unlimited discretion. They are gen tlemen cf the highest consideration tn this comma. nity, and we sincerely hope that their action in the approwching election, will be sueh as to promote the interests and honor of the ingtitation, rather than the personal views or ambition of any one of their own body.
