One | month's later news from California, and all other | parts of th one week’s later intelligence from Europe; the reports of the numerous religious anniversary mect ; and of one or two singular eriminal trials, will appear in our columns, between this and Sunday morning. The Great Annual Convention of the | Blacks and Whites—Who are the Real | Divantonists ? The newspaper organ of the abolitionists—the Liberator, of Boston—is out in favor of the imme- diate dissolution ef the Union, and the abolition of | slavery. It comes boldly and manfully up to the ieeve. It states that “A contest of near twenty years has proved, that the only hopeful issue with Flavery is the demand for the immediate and un- | eonditional emancipation of every slave,” and that such a consummation can never be attained as long asthe people of the free States maintain a politi- eal union with the South and the slaveholders. ‘These doctrines are put forth as the text forthe Anti-lavery Convention of three days, to begin to-morrow. Here is the official pronunciamento :— SISTRENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN ANTI- SLAVERY SOCTRTY. The Sixteenth Anuual Meeting of the American An- M-Slavery Society will be held at the sy way Taber- macie, on Tuesday. the seventh of May, 1850, as hp tanatek cha cntnn eomsmesnaatint ot hs Bodh: 5 ry enterprise, bave the devoted zeal and eurnest of ite ad ates been more needed than at this, merican Society stands now. as it did at the be- Honing, the sole encmy, through all the United States, the tystem of American Chattel Slavery. The mnag- nitude of its work, and the importance of the obsta- eles in the way of its accomplishment, are yearly made more and more manitest, as every party and organiza tion that have boped to struggle against the Slave pow- er, by consenting to compromise with it, successively retire from the contest, either glorying in successful treachery, of submitting to shameful defeat. A con- feet of ear twenty years has proved that the only ferue with Slavery is the demand for the and unconditional emaneipation of every that euch @ consummation ean never he at- as long a# we maintain # political union with Bla sebolders ‘The Northern boundary of the lave St it was when the Americ nee; Ite Southern is exten to be thankful aud hopeful ro without a ‘ ily more and more It will be eatirely successful ed to the conviction that the jone determine its extension; dary will no longer roy: have te he mont to make its action and its voice wet efficient, will have only done the least he ' | teristics of the peoe— Mack, ignorant, brutal, bleod- ‘Tew SroePreson Tass amp Mrerzams.—We * | thirsty, lnetfal, vain, end stupid, without « redeem- ing feature of white humanity. Look at him in Jamaica—socially poor, lazy, ig- norant, the type of a human bog. Look at him in the Northera States—laxy, indo- lent, gnorant, and, if honest, the slave of any employer who will work him and give him bread, as much and more #0, than his ‘outh—for there, when si pe the comforts of life; here, whem sick, he may | starve or die. Those who are not honest, parade the Five Points, Elm street, and ether resorts, ragged, dirty, and de their food the offale of the street, and their condition only bettered whea sent to the Penitentiary or State Prison. Here are the several pictures. Look at them all. First: the happy condition of the negro in the Southern States. Second: the miserable condi- tion of the negro in the rest of the world. These are facty—stern, incontrovertible, and undeniable fixed facts. This is what the negro now is, What do these men, who are to meet to-morrow, at the Tubernacle, and who will speak for the great city of New York, wish to do? They wish no gradual emancipation, as was done by Eagland ia regard to Jamaica and her West India colonies, when slavery existed. No, they would incite the negroes of the South todo what the red republi- cans of France, in 1790, incited the negroes of Hayti to do—to burst forth ia a terrible insurrection of blood and carnage. And shall we, of New York, whose very interests are interwoven with our white brethren of the South, whose life blood is a part of ours—shall we stand by, fold our arms, and see this work begun in our midst? Whet ere the designs of these men? To have immediate emameigation, or disunion—to cite the negr of the Southern States to rise upon their masters, to butcher them in cold blood, to violate and use their wives, and sisters and daughters, as the innocent victims of negro brutal- ity ; to scatter fire, rapine and murder all through the South. he interests, the prosperity, and the happiness of the South are tied up in the destiny of New York and the North, Her safety, her securi- ty, is a partof ourown, Her white men, her white women, are cur own flesh and blood. In ten thousand cases they are our fathers, brothers, husbands, sons, mothers, sisters, wives, daughters; and if they perish by the mad acts of fanaticism, our heart-strings are cut too, Now is the time for New York to express an opinion in favor of the Union and the constitution. Let our whole population turn out, and declare their devotion to that instrument. Let the merchant,whose fortunes are interwoven with the South, leave his counting-room or his store, and go forth in sup port of his rights. Let the mechanic, the laborer, and every honest citizen who values the honor of the city and the safety of his race, leave his work for one or two days, and devote them to his country, to humanity, and the safety of his fellow man in another section, Let the mad fanaticism which would cover this country with blood, be re- buked and silenced, by the force of a manly, or- derly and peaceably expressed public opinion. At this er the voice of New York could breathe calm and peace upon the troubled waves that are rolling over the South, and which, in their reflux, may engulph us. It would satisfy the men in the South, that the great mass here are with them—that we will not permit any set of men in our midst to incite th slaves to insurrection, to murder, or to rapine, without opposition and re- probation. Let the Gnion be preserved, against the threats and madness of all black, all mulatto, all colored, all white conventions of disunionists and traitors to the constitution. Nicanacva Negotiations ann Sim Henry L. jenwer.—Ths publication of Sir Henry Balwer'e letter to Mr. Chatfield, in our columns, has created much discussion in diplomatic circles and in the newspapers. A newspaper written in French, and published in this city, the columns of which have nothing of graver interest than theatrical notices and small gossip, doubts the authenticity of the doca- ment. The enterprise that obtains such important papers cannot be comprehended by a journal that is furnished only with a drop of intelligence com- pared the flood which our columns supply.

Comaines avn Bisnor Heeurs.— We are sorry to see that Dr. Cummings has deli- vered, in this metropolis, so eloqnent and manly a discourse as that which has been reported in our columns. If it be the ambition of Dr. Cummings to advance to any higher position in the church, he has teken the very method of all others to destroy his own object. He has exhibited talent of a lofiy order, and that is a crime. Bishop Hughes does not pen rmit any clergyman, under his authority, to superiority of clerical genins, or to be- me popular with the people. He is the last man to tolerate ambitious talent, or ideas too great for own mind; and, thus far, he has always sveceeded in clipping the wings of the young | eagle if the church, Were this not generally ac- | | know ledged, we might point to the history of many peftons, distingvished for great piety, judgment, ishmente of mind, whose fate ought to be a warning. The late Mr. Levins, with | his vast talent, was not aware of the danger of making known all the foree of his mind and charac- ‘The late Dr. Powers, too, and the still living | rable, as furnishing instances of great talent coming in competition with the pre- ‘atholie Bishop of this diocesa, and suffering in consequence.

That is the , safe Course, Parsett, News rrow Rie pe Javirno.—On the arrival of the United States ship Ohio, at Boston, a week of two since, we learned that the “ yellow fever’ had made its appearance at Rio, end that several of the officers and crew of the O. had died of it. We regret to learn, by the Isabelita Iyne, that the fever was making fear- ful ravages at that port. Several Americans had died, and many others were sick. — It is supposed that the epidemic ie an importation from the coast of Africa, and is probably the coast fever, which « been so fatal to naval officers engaged in sap- pressing the slave trade.

But to all these commnunications, prti- vate or otherwise, we pay but little attention, any further than what our duty requires, in exhibiting | to the public the danger ef reviving the old “stool- | pigeon system.” Our course has been, and wil! be, im reference to these tnals, to report fairly end impertially the proceedings of the courts, and lay the fects, as they appear, before the public. To-day Ashley's trial is set down to come on in the Court of Sessions, in this city; and One-Eyed ‘Thompson's, it is presumed, will be continued in Brooklyn. Both of these originals plead their own cause; and from what we have seen, we should not be surprised if they were to baffle the autho- rities on both sides the river. It is singular that, although we have had various trials, none of these conspicuous characters have been convicted as yet, with the exception of Ashley, on a small indict- ment for passing an altered bank bill, given him, as he says, by Thompson. The probability is, that no conviction will follow in any of the cases—One- Eyed Thompson, the Drorys, Arlington Bennet, Avhley, and all, may come off scot free. The public, however, in the course of these trials, will be shown a very strange state of facts, that will throw a light on “stool-pigeonism!” and exhibit the patrons of this dangerous system, as conducted in this city, in @ manner that will startle the honest portion of the community. We hope it will lay the groundwork fora complete reform in the po- lice practices of this metropolis. \ Bap Memory Rerresuen.—M. M. Noah, whose attacks on females are more brutal! than those of any one ever connected with the New York press, says that he does not remember accurately or clearly, his doings in reference to the recovery of the crown jewels of the Prince of Orange, &e., Xe, In the investigation before the court and jury, soon to take place, his memory will be fully re- freshed—first, on the reward, or black mail, of $10,000, paid to Noah, Ogden and Swartwout, by the Dutch government, for duties performed by others—secondly, on the way in which the burglar was transport-d to Holland—thirdly, on the fa- mous $52,000 affair of the United States Bank— and fourthly, on the best way a man can privately draw money from the Custom House, without per- forming any services.

Baraxce Dur—Smasuino Aurap.—It is caleu- lated that the value of exports to California, from all the States on this side of the Rocky Mountains, amount to fifty millions—the imports of gold dust, in payment, to fifteen millions—balance yet due, thirty-five millions.

One seaman, and the steward, (formerly a captain of one of the North river steamboats.) had died. Mr. John S, Leonard, of Worcester, Mass, « pass ger in the New World, also died on the 2ith of March, at the mansion of the United States Consul, Governor Kent. His sufferings were much a*suaged by the kind ministering of its hospitable denizens Some vessols, particularly Italian, German and Eng- | lish, had lost their whole crews, and. in some fustances, their captains and officers; also, the ladies of several English captains, Among these were three Hambur- gucee versels, who bad left the port, commanded by at high wages, The use of liquor ‘mposure of the crew to the sun, when at work on board, or towing lighters. without awnings to protect them by day, or from the dew at night, contributed much to this. ‘The Ieabelita Hyne, being entirely shated, and never using her own boate, was pared from the sickness around, both gt Bahia and Rio.

Here will be another promise of a rich musical harvest, which all the reapers of fashionable life will take by the ears as bert they can, to be preserved im the storehouse of delicious memories, Niblo’s Garden will be threnged by thousands, each one striving to glean of the field which has been so highly cultivated. Then, on Wed- nesday, there will be another field, quite as rich, if not richer, ready for the sickle of musical taste. “Lucia di Lammermoor’? will be produced. After that, the troupe will go to Boston or Philadelphia, and will pars the summer months, till September, at the fashionable watering places, giving concerts and making their high merits known throughout society. This will be a new feature in our fashionable towns; and there will be more than a furore to imitate the manners of the old continent, in this particular, on the part of those who have the means ef indulging in such luxury. It is not unlikely that future arrangements may bring Marti and Niblo together, so that we may have the opera, every summer season, in all its perfection’ as we have it now. In twenty-five years, since Garcia's company was here, the opera has never been so popular as with Marti’s troop. The whole city is excited, and the crowds are greater than those who hung listening, like bees, upon the lips of Malibran. With a popula- tion double what we then had, we have now everything else to support the opera—more strangers, more wealth, more taste, more liberality, more common sense, The opera is now necessary to New York. We need its re- fining influences; and, as the Literature of the stage Is passing away through negligence, the opera is our only hope of a lofty, rational and useful amusement. We must have it, Tue Brovenam Bexxvit.—To-morrow night, there will be a great assemblage of fashion at Niblo’s, to honor Mr. John Brougham.

Balance, $4,475,981 75, The steamehip Canada, from Liverpool, does not bring such @ great advance in quotations for cotton, as anticipated. The Manchester spinners are making: a desperate effort to keep down prices, The annexed. paragraph from the Liverpool Mail of April 18th, we give, for the purpose of showing how the organs of the Brit~ ish manufacturers talk about cotton. To us the late rise in cotton seem: ‘neral trade in Manchester and surroundi! ning tree highly Kop pone The home is as bad as it can be, and destined to remainso, We are not aware of a single foreign market whieh holds out ever a temptation to ship to it, without it be Calcutta, and, there the result would be very doubtful, The stock of cotton in this country is considerably larger than it was twelve months ago, and we are on the point of re~ ceiving the bulk of the American crop, is laid by speculators on the reduced hing ee. ge American ports, as compared with t year ; but if they will refer to the previous se: pew. whei the « crop + ‘was 2350.00 bales. they will tind the present receipts: of 1.600.000 in excess of that period. But even sup- posing that the crop is not ee agony the present reduced rate of consumpti: ogy which has been going on for three months, will eause the sup ply to be ample, or equal to an abundant erop. recent purehases on ‘ulation are iil-timed and rash, and will probably defeat the object of th tering into them. In the spring of last year, the Ame-- ricans were free, if not eager sellers of cotton, and our merchants and others bad been able to contract for a large portion of the crop. Now the case is very di ent the. bulk of the erop being held by the in New York and the other ports; and if he left to himself, he would have been compelled to have sold it to the highest bidder, or consign it. As the matier stands at present, with the flourishing aceounts sent out by the last steamer, he will perhaps consign. accounts so far received in tes from Franc! the contin have been of a’ vi unsettled na- sothat we mi y et get more of the present erop was calculated upon. Last year, at this time, on was 50 por cent. lower than now, and yet there was enough for the demand. Tiolders of cotton here do not consider the rise im prices an enigma, and the manufacturers of Manches~- ter have probably solved their enigma before this, The consumption of American cotton in Great Britain, for~ the firet three months of 1560, has averaged about twenty-four thousand bales. The average weekly con~ sumption, for the first six months of 1849, was twenty- seven thoaand bales, showing, thus tar, a falling of of but three thousand bales in the weekly consumption. Last year Great Britain received 1,400,000 bales of Ame— rican cotton; this year she cannot possibly get over 750,000 bales, and probably not more than 700,000 bales. Sometime previous tothe arrival of the steamship. Canada from Liverpool, we gave it as our opinion that she would bring an advance in cotton of fall half a. penny per pound, and perhaps three-quarters.

Callender, 88 South Third street, anne aaa MONEY MARKET, Senay, May 6: No new feature has developed itself in the atock mar- ket during the past week, and there has been but « oP.M. slight variation in prices, We have been completely dcluged with news from Europe; and as there had not, at the latest date, anything transpired in politiesl af- fairs ealculated to further disturb commercial matters, no particular change is observable in the markets, We are, however, receiving now the full benefit of another rupture on the Continent. Im anticipation of revolu- tionary movements, a large amount of eapital is seek- ing safety in investm in Great Britain and in this country, and whatever advantages may be derived by this. have in a great measure already been realized, so that when the events looked for actually take place, the effect upon our most important interests will be disastrous. With the exception of cotton, our staple exports do not command remunorating prices abroad, and prices for that are unfavorably af- fected by the unsettled state of the Continent, and the limited confidence In all things connected with com- merece. The apprehension existing, that something may happen any moment to prostrate business, destroy public and private credit, and create eonfusion and chaos in the financial and commercial world. ix so great that noone dare extend operations, or Involve himeelf in any movement beyond what is imperatively necessary to keep the machinery in motion. Conti- dence is a plant of slow and careful growth, must be carefully cultivated. If ite growth is checked for the want of proper care, It takes along time to bring it ngain toa healthy state, It is now nearly three yenre since the commercial and financial classes were prostrated, The revolution of 1847, the revolution of 1846, and the developements made by those event, de- stroyed confidence In individual honor and integrity, to such an extent that it will yet require years to | place private credit again as bigh as it once stood The insolvency and rottenness exhibited in the affairs | of hundreds of houses previously considered sound and rolvent, have ereated a distrust in the public mind, which will require years to obliterate. Confidence a present is below par, not only between individuals, but inthe present andinthe future, This is the grand cause of the present unsettled state of eommer- cial affairs, of the sudden breakdown in any specula- tive movement, and of the reluctance on the part of outsiders to involve themselves in transactions which may, at any moment, collapse, and strip them of every farthing of their property. We bave before us the result of the speculative move. ments in coffee and real ertate. Those who have o#- enped the ruin that has overtaken #0 many In pursuing theee bubbles, should be earcful and avoid that which is sure to fellow the explosion of the fancy stock bubbies now undergoing the agreeable process of inflation. The rise and fall in prices for land lots and coffee probably greater aud more rapid the before realized, and the fail has been equally gront and equal- ly rapid. Fortunes have probably been made and bot in these things, in ae short a time as ever before realired by the mort reckless, deeperate gamblers, When we look at the rise and progress of there dabbles, it fe not at all astonishing that the eol- Jopre should be disastrons, Fortunately, however, for the public, the movement was himost entirely con. faced to ite originators, Consumers of coifee, for a ort time, had to pay high prices for the article; but the rise in prices wae eaneed by epeculaters aceumouiating large enpplice and xing thelr value But when they had to sell, the tables were turned. They found that there was a vast differ. emer between asking and getting between buying and selling and when they eould no longer hold, and were eed to put their rtocks upom the market, pricer wnd thelr proper level, through the operations of 1e- demand supply. Jost so in foal eetate, liote, The recent rise wes confined to a amall elique of speculeters, who, by combination, eaPted up, and for a time rurtained, prices, to tempt outsiders to take held. This failing, they were compelled to give up, and iet prices down tothelr former level. Many of the tales of realestate and land lots reported at the Bx- ebarge. were oll shame what ie called in the street, “wach enles,” bid in for the owner, and represented as ving been actuelly sold, Sale after mle took place. without one real bona Ade bid baving been made, A fimline movement is golog on In fancy stocks, and the result will be precisely the same, The bayers are all Wall street brokers, and by & combination they put Op prices from day to day, for the purpose of making outeiders believe (hat the rive te stony and permanent, end totndece them to purchase One bull broker ells to another at an advance of & per cont. and so on, all among (hemecives. This advance brings into thestroct 2 great deal of stock which the buils are ec mpetied to buy 08 prices previously fixed by themeriree, or the market would fill and thelr object be f-nstrated, and in thie way they gots large quantity of these worthie: Frequently they eneooed alized, was only one-eighth of a penny per pound. The accounts taken out by the Niagara had the effect we anticipated but the combination in Manchester ang Liverpool succeeded in keeping prives down, or in pre-- venting «greater advance, by offering to sellany quan~ tity of the staple at quotations a little above those previously current, and by the publication of circulars of agents of English houses here, giv- ing the most ridiculous and extravagant state~ mentsrelative to the crop now coming to market. We do not intend distinguishing any of these agents by giving their names, but we have scen in the Manches$, ter papers their circulars, which will lead their prinei- pals astray, and cause them to lose large sums of money, . This, however, is their own business; and if they em- ploy people here to give them false information, they must take the consequence, Holders of cotton ins this country are too strong in their position to be infin — eneed by any attempt to break down the Liverpesh.. market, Nothing will draw the raw material ont of their hands but high prices, and the Manchester spin- ners must toe the mark, sooner or later. Those who- come in early will have an advantage over those who hold out until the last moment, f The manufacturers of Manchester have made every” eflurt to disguise the extent of the consumption of cot tom; but the offeial returns of the government have exposed them. It appears that the exports of manu- factured goods and yarns for the first three months of: 1850, have been greater, both in quantity and value, than for the corresponding period last year, and the amount of raw material consumed must therefore have deen fully equal to that for the first three months of og According to the reports of Liverpool brokers, po abe this year. was three thousand bales por week hess than last; but when it is no longer an object to repress « the truth, we shall find that the consumption this year has been much greater than now admitted, The Manchester spinners have been playing a deep: give in regard to the moveiwents of the raw materint for ce ed that more than 40.000 bales have beer forwarded to Manchester for consumption than appears in the regular weekly reports, All this will soon eome out, when we shall see something that will give eottom Fpeculators, on beth sides of the Atlantic, a now wrinkle, We confidently looked for » verification of the stoch: account, by the steamer just arrived, for, it will be re- collected, that on the Ist January last, the eottom brokers at Liverpool, on taking stock, found that there ‘was about 06,000 bales more than appeared by their general balanee, which was about 400,000 bales. This fact created a great pensation there, as the trade had to bear the odium of attempting to deceive «pinners,. by stuffing with a stock statement nearly 100,000» Dales than existed in reality, and more than 2% por cent In weight of their entire stock. We learn, one inquiry, that the adividuals compesing the firms of the © cotton brokers, hundred and fitty, of capitalir(s partners, who donot attend to any ofthe de tails of the business and upwards ofa hundred and twen- ty are members of the “ Cotton Brokers’ Ansociation,’* At a class, they ate as honorable and as little given to deceit asthe members comprising the firma of the: “ Cotton Commission Trade’ They bave in thelr em- Ploy, as clerks and apprentices. some fitews hundred.

The compet of the trade is very great, and great pains is taken to approach aceurney in their different weekly cirewlors wed slips of the market; still, with all this competition, and thele Argus eyes, bot one of all that numerous clase of principals or clerke—in a small «tock, only about forty per cent of what they carried in the paimiest days of Manchester, when she dictated to the cotton planters of the South the price her millionaire lords of the loom wowkt choose to pay for thetr production—mot one of thea dreamed there was an error, and twenty-Qve per eeut more stock there than their bainnees, correetiy adjact- ed weekly, at thelr regular meetings on Thursday night, called for, Aud yet, when detected, they al- lowed the amount to be added Into their stork aceomnt, and have carried It forward reguterly, Under the ex~ citement occasioned by this error in stock account, as it was enlled, it wae proposed, at the board of cotter brokers, that, to guard them from a repetition of eucly error, it would be advienble, hereafter, to take stock every three monthe—say on ist Mareh, 0th June, This resolution either could not have passed, of wad subsequently quietly repeaied. for. te our eurpries we find that the steamer which leit on the 6th, or that of the 15th and 20th, lo not bring us the “ verifiention of the stock." a was confidently looked for.
