(Drunk amidst loud and eon- linued checrivg.) Captain Wotton returned thanks. Mr. Senford, in a neat speech, dwelt on the im- portance of the new line of communication, in drawing closer tegether the sister nations of France and United States. He said that the new world hed given the application of steam to the old world, in retara for the art of printing. He paid a Ligh comphinent to the French press, and nouced its power over public opinion’ He expressed the hope that the American press would extend in Eu- rope American ideas.

These are facts, but we can- not help suspecting thet the fight about the peach stone, and the two shilling kisses of the inside of the gtove, were little imerludes Bot up by the Bar- num police, to keep the furore alive. 1 is impos- sible to avoid the conetusion that Jenny Lind was received with this enthusiastic worship from the American public, mot for her great and acknow- ledged merit, but because, in anevil hour, she had consented to lease out her tine talents to a selfish and intriguiog charlatan, whose paltry and mise- | obtamed for her that homage ave possibly, to judge rable aris east) which might brillient exercise. All, and more than all, the suc- ceee she could hope to obtain, was gained for her before she had done anything to deserve it, by the action of the Barnum police on pane opinion. The inference is asad one. That which can be done by a private adventurer, may with more ease be accomplished by the leader of a fection. The same erts Which make a singer's popularity, may create the political cepital of a president or ere tary. The deliberate substitution of prejudice for reason end experience, muy be aoplied to me isures: as well as to music. It is much to be feared that the seme reckless system of exaggeration, the sime intense vulgarity of means and btleness of ends, is to be fouad in the Senate us in the orchestra. Whe cannot ser, in the aogry and iaflated toae of American political controversy, and its constant straining efter dramatical eflect, the career of men to whom the most important meaeures, the most secred interests, and the most stirring appeals, ure matters of the same indifference ns the comfort and quiet of Jenny Lind to Mr. Barnum, when a ofa single cent The Latest Commercial Report.

In the foreign exchanges, though there was not much business transwcted, the rates generally were quoted lewer then last post. ‘The corn market was dull this morning, with a tendeney to lower prices. The report of the Liverpool cotton market for the week shows a@ steady business, without any change in quotations. The commercial aceounts from India to-day, by the Overland, Mail were not regarded as indicating any important change, the effect of less faverable reports from Bombay beisg counterbalanced by those from Calcutta, which descnbe a continued improvement. ‘The business transacted in the colonial markets, during the week, has been rather moderate, and, in some instences, prices still show a dowaward tendency.

(From the London Times, Oct. #1 } It is the peeuhar boast of the modern repubiic that the public opinion of her free and enlightened citizens reigns With undiwpuated and absolute sway. Eschewing the enormous faith of many made for one, ebe has adopted for herself the creed that the few are made for the miny On every subject, in every township throughout the States, the opinion of the majority is finwl, conclusive, and indisput- able. The majority are everything—the minority nothing. Nor is this supremacy ot the many con- fined to those subjects which may legitimately be termed matters of opinion. There no right, however sacred, no privilege however unquestion- eble, which an individuel may not, at any time, in this freest of all the nations of the earth, be calied upon 'o sacrifice at the surmmons of public opinion. It it ehali please the majority to decree that a par- ticular landlord shall no longer receive rent, hie right is exunguished as effectually as by the most formal release ; if it shall please the majority to make a footpath acroee a c.tizen’s lawn, the road is tpso facto dedicated to the use of the public. If the majority be of opinion that it is expediemt that a particular ciizen should cease to exist, he perishes an the face of day, with all the formality of legal ; execution Ic becorm people who are in the h vesting their convictiens, when once formed, with euch ; ractical and serious conse nees, to be pro- portionately careful avd deliberate in arriving at thoee convictions; and as their opinions have the force of sentences, their minds should have the impartiality of judges. Any one impressed with these reflections muet have perused with a painfol interest tke accounts which have from time to time appeared in thi journal of the Lindomania in New York. It is humiliating te a nation, which boasta that it leads the van of Luman improvement, so little capable of lative dignity and merit of differ- ‘nts und employments as to bow down in petrate adoration at the feet of a woman, who, t all, is merely a firet rete vocalist. Sydney Smith rermods the Pennsylvanians that there are some things worth living for besides gin sling and sherry cobble d we should have thought, but for our exper: « to the contrary, that it were needless to have informed the countrymen of Franklin, Washington, and Channing, that there are things more worthy the admiration of a great ‘ople than the power of producing sweet sounds. Sut what is stranger s\ill than this moral obliquity is, that the poseersion of this much-prized faculty by Jenny Lind was entirely taken for granted by this acute and calculating people, who were so red by her musical powers before they had ale note of her voice that we verily be- lieve if, at her firet concert, she had croaked like a raven or howled like @ hywna, public epinion would have pronounced her performance a little superior to the music of the spheres, We were toteliy unable to account for this palpable surrender of all pretensions to common eense on the part of the American public, till we fell in with an article in the New York Herald, in which that journal, justly solicitous for the dignity of its calling, vind- cates the American press trom the charge of having excited the American public to so outrageo: | it of in- | piteh of folly and self-ebasement. It appears from the article of ovr able cotemporary, which bears on ite face the stamp of truth, that Mr. Barnom, the great showman of the nge--the exhibitor of the living skeleton, General Tom Thumb, the woolly horse, and the nurse of General Washington--had struck out, for the express benefit of Jenny Liad ond bimeeif, a new idea, which the blacking of Warren and the waistcoats of Moses have never inepired their poets withal He invented what we must call.for want of » better name,the police of puf- fer He had actueliy, for month before Je uy 1 And’s arrival,a nember of provocative age: French call them, in his pay, whose tusine «‘get wp a fercre” forJeany Lin exited, war chronicied by the wapapers.and thus infinitely multiplied, as i.eat ond light are eased by being reflected The whole succeptipiiny of the country was foon in bi wd long before | Jenny Lind had placed her fooren the Ao rican | evplinen’, publig opisiom bed pivaccacee oy lied 6 | advance. about 240 were of recent import, but the remainder consisted of parcels which hed been offered at former auctions.

The despatch was rather blind; but we think the transcript is intelligible and correct. It appears that the con- vention distinctly incline to seceesion—that a reso- lution in favor of @ Southern Convention at Mont- gomery, in Alabama, for the purpose of determin- ing the ultimatum of the South, was ordered to be printed by a decided majority; and from the epparent temper of the convention, it is highly probable that the resolution has since been adopted. Looking at these proceedings in conaection with the extended and increasing abolition and nullifi- cation excitement in the North, the prospect before us grows darker and more fearful than ever before There is, however, a gleam of light from Georgia. Mr. Cobb, Speeker of the House, it appears, in a great conservative speech at Marion, produced quite a reaction in favor of the Union. It is time that hie efforts were seconded by the Unien men of all parties in both sections. No time now tor mere whig or democratic arrangements. It is union or disunion—conciliation or nullification and secession. Let the friends of the Union take the field. Arrival of the Stezmship Franklin--One Day Later from Europe. The new steamship Franklin, of the New York and Havre line, arrived at this port yesterday, bringing us one day’s later news from the old world. The Franklin made an excellent passage of thirteen days and seventeen hours, from dock to dock, which shows, that in point of speed, she is entitled to a high rank among our ocean steamships. Considering the distance run, she has beaten the Cambria, of the Cunard line, by nearly, if not quite, a day and a half, which, in these days of short passages, is considerable. The news by this arrival being only one day later than what we were previously in possession of, it cannot be expected that it would be of much importance in any point of view. The German question remains in statu quo; and notwithstanding the parade that is made, we are disposed to believe it will remain in that situation. Itis not beiieved in England that a war will be the result, nor that the apparently hostile powers will resort to the ultima ratio vegiwm for the settlement of the difficulties which appear to disturb the tranquillity of the Ger- man States. Indeed, it would not be advisable for thoee powers to go to war with each other at the present time, for they cannot but know that they hold their power by a very frail and uncertain tenure. The whole of Germany is des- tined, ere long, to be a republic, or an aggregation of republics, similar to the American confederacy. Itis altogether a question of time, and the sove- reigns and the people know it—the latter especial- ly. This being the condition of things there, it is hot reasonable to suppose that the former would waste their strength and resources in warring against each other, when they feel assured that, before many years, both will be needed to preserve themselves. They may march and countermarch their armies; but we question very much if any serious hostility is contemplated. For the sake of humanity and republicanism, we would like to see all the German powers in a state of hostilty towards each other; for in such case the people would have an opportunity of asserting their political and natural rights; but we fear there is no prospect of any such contingency occurring. There is nothing new from France; but we may off. to allow Seward to visit New York, New Jeusey—Mr. Miller—gone home. Knope leocayo—Mr_ Clarke—gone home.

AMSENT, OR NOT Atehivon, ETO. w Dodi ct Wis. ‘alker, Winthrop—I2, Total, Senate (California not then admitted). This vote was omizous of what was to come. The stampede upon it in the House, was also very significant and suspicious. Thirty-five members ebsent, or just stepped out (J. B. among them) or not voting! It was a fugitive bill in more senses than one. Seldom does a single shot create such floundering and fluttering. The democrats rushed it through the House, to throw the burden upon Mr. Fillmore. It puzzled him prodigiously whether to sign or not to sign—-to veto or not to veto. He signed. The Attorney General explained,or rather apologized, for the President, in view of the New York election. ‘:hen commenced the reaction. It has been overwhelming; but it has not stopped with the administration. Cass, Dickinson, Douglas, and all concerned in, or evading or consenting to, the mea- sure from the North, have been absolutely over- whelmned in the late elections, excepting in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, where the people want a modi! ation of the tariff. All prospects of na- tiona! platforms and national candidates, upon the prop of the Fugitive Slave bill, are shivered into fragments. The very thing which Mr. Clay con- sidered the cap-sheaf of the compromise, has turaed out to be the wooden horse to the Trojans. Cass, Felch, and Benton, and Douglas, and Bright, smelt the rat, or rather the cat; but they have not escaped it. It hag turned everything upside down, from Cape Cod to the west bank of the Missis- sippi—from Buffalo to Mason and Dixon’s line—and all the arrangements, for all the Presidential fa- vorites of all the cliques, of both the old parties, are scattered helter skelter in this nullification ex- citement—this fugitive bombahell—this Pandora’s box to the politicians. Mr. Clay was wide of the mark in supposing that the Fugitive bill would end the agitation—it only begins it. Mr. Mason thought it would do no good, except to test the sincerity of the North in their professions of good faith. The test has been applied. It works won- derfully. It has turned whigs and democrats into fugitives; and itis difficult to tell whether they orthe runaway slaves run the fastest from the law. But there is this difference—the fugitive politicians have been overtaken, while the slaves have gene- rally escaped into Canada. If such is the begin- ning of the stampede, what will be theend? Whig and democratic hunkers—where are they?—their platforms—their plans—their candidates—their principlee—their parties? Swallowed up in the Fa- gitive bill. Gone! Avouitionism iN Boston—Tun Reception or Tuomrson —The proceedings which recently took Place in Boston, on the occasion of the appearance of the English abolitionist, George Thompson, in Faneuil Hall, show conclusively that the public mind of that city is right in regard to the slavery agitation, which has distreeied the country fora number of yeare pest, and which a few designing abolitionists and fanatics are desirious of perpetuating for the pur- pose of subserving their own interests, no matter what the consequences may be to the union of this republic. Weare rejoiced to see that Mr. Thompson did not receive any personal ill-treatment as the re~ ward of his temerity and daring, foreigner and dis- organizer as he is, to attempt to address an Ameri- can audience on a subject with which, in the na- ture of things, he cannot be familiar, and which has caused so much ill- feeling between different sections of this republic. Had he been personally maltreated, he would have gained the sympathy of the public generally, and Boston would have entailed on it- soon expect exciting news from that country. Long before Louis Napoleon's term of office, ex- pires, we shall hear Uidingsfrom there ofa character that may create as much astonishment as the first French revolution. Tur Feorrvm Stave Bu1—Tur Late Exeo- tions—Tre Stamreve.—Of all the measures comprised in the slavery adjustment, the Fugitive Slave bill has worked most emphatically in the North. On the day that the bill went through the Houre, Mr. Ciay rose in his place in the Se- nate, ani expressed his congratulations that the measute was fiaally passed, and that the great work of compromise only required the abolition of the District slave trade. That bill, also, was at length passed; when Mr. Clay took occasion to express his convictions that peace and harmoay would speedily be restored to our bleeding, agi- tated, ond distracted country. A few abolitionists South, mht, he supposed, attempt to revive the agitation; but their efforts would be ridiculous The great maseee, of both sections, would be satis- fied. Harmony would be restored, and the North and South, under the seme vine and fig tree, would bury the hatchet, and smoke the pipe of peace together for a very long time to come. Such was the prophecy of Mr. Clay. What ‘is the fact? The Compromise bills were but the bravado, clap-trap, ges, and terrible threats of abolitionists and Southern ultras, before tne settle. ment, were mere moonshine to what has succeeded It is just the diflercnce between the mancouvreings eetwal guerilla warfare after the first battle is over. All the peace measures of the last Con- | gress only carry us to Boena Vista—the battles of the Southera column of the army have yet to be fought. The Fugitive Siave bill may well be called the Buena Vieta of the compromise measures. As in the fight in Meaic n the contest in Congress : there were imaoy among the bravest left upon the | field, end many who, deeming “discretion the | better part of valor,” kept quiet or took to their heels. Ja the Senate, Colonel Benton was a dentally abvent on the engrossmeat of the owing probebly to the “noise and coufu- stor,” Generel Caer did not answer to his aame Ficm one ceu'e or other, (and, #8 far as we ore ' felf a disgrace which it would take years to wipe off. The opposition with which he was received, we are happy to see, was ‘confined within the limits of the law, and, under the circumstances, was, we think, perfectly justifiable. The Garrisons and the Phillipses, and other fanatics, male and female, white, black, blue, and gray, are tolerated as much for the amusement which they provide as any thing else ; but a foreigner—an Englishman especially— willnot be treated in the same charitable way. To say the least, it was the height of impu- dence for him to come to this country on such an errand as he did, and worse for him to attempt to add fuel to the flame which the abo- litionists have created en the slavery question. ‘What would be thought of an American who would go to England, and in a public meeting declare against the iniquities and corruption of the govern ment of that country—againet the mental and phy- sical slavery in which the masses of its population are kept by the government and the aristocracy— against the inhumanity which makes the toiling millions the serfs of the few? Instead of being hooted at and hissed, he would have been violently and forcibly expelled ; and perhaps his life would have paid the forfeit. Bat such practices,and such a way of treating obnoxious persons and agitators, are scarcely ever resorted to in the United States, and never except in rare instances. But putting aside the individual, end throwing Thompeon himeelf overboard, we are pleased at this manifestation of public sentiment in Boston. It showe that the public mind of that city is right on the question of further egitation of the slavery question, and evinces a disposition to stand by the compromice measvres passed at the last seasion of Congress. It will be gratifying to the South, and will prove to them in the most unmistakeable man- ner, that Boston, at all events, will not countenance the abolition fenatice in the course which they seem determined to pursue, no more than New York will.

K Collins’s line of sailed yesterday, punetually, at 12 o’clock. The wharf, the shipoing, and the quays, at either side, were covered with human beings. Twenty- four carriages, containing nearly all the Roman: Catholic clergymen of New York and ¥ with other friends of Archbishop Hughes, accom- panied him tothe ship. There was a large num~ ber of ladies present, some of whom took a fare~ well of the prelate on board. Among the clergy- menwho accompapied him to the ship, were Rev. Dr. Forbes and Rev. Mr. Preston, who had just, been ordained to the priesthood. It ie stated that the Archbishop visits Paris, as well as Rome, and that he will go to Jerusalem before his return. He cannot administer any sacrament, after his elevation to the Arcbishopric, till he receives the pallixm from bis Holness at Rome. There was: loud cheering and waiving of hats and handker- chiefs, as the Baltic left the dock on her first trip to Europe. She went off in beautiful style, firing two guns as she rounded the pier, and several as she steamed down the river. Ir Won’t D».—The Boston Courier is vainly endeavoring to explain to Mr. Webster that the election of Horace Mann was- the work of the de~ mocrats. 1; wen’tdo. The democratic candidate got his proper vote. Horace Mann was elected by whig deserters from Mr. Webster, against Mr. Webster, and as a rebuke upon his patriotic course in the Senate. It simply amounts to this—that Horace Mann and nullification are moze accepta- ble tothe Massachueetts folks than Webster and the constitution. The election cuts down his con- stituency to the merchants of Boston; and for this. last refuge in Boston, Mr. Webster is indebted to the cotton trade. It can’t be explained—bettergive it up—don’t attempt to apologize. it won’t do. Nullification 1s up, and Mr. Webster is down; Dickinson 1s down, Cass is down, Phelps is down, Clayton is down, Fullmore is down; and the pres- pect is, that before they rise again, the game will be played out, the stakes divided, and the com- pany dismissed. Mr. Webster, however, is to have a meeting in Boston, a la Castle Garden. That may belp a httle; but it won’t do. The whigs may try, the democrats may try, to stave off the genera! smash of the old crock» ry. Butit won’tdo. Nul- lification i. up, secession is up, agitation is up, cot- ton 1s up; but the od politicians aredown. We may try to raise them, but according to the late elections, it won’t do Anna Bishop's Sacred Concerts.. ‘The sacred concerts of Anma Bishop, at Tripler Hall, have attracted, on each occasion, from four to five thousand pereons, who have been delighted with the richness of these great entertainments, In ad- dition to the immense orchestra and chorus, Manvera. and Seguin are very important acquisitions; while the vocal performances of Anna Bishop have a charm for every lover of sacred song. Her style, method, exe- cution and brilliancy, are such as are seldom equalled. Possessing the most refined musical education, she has the power of enchaining every auditor. To-night she will sing those great solos which commanded so much attention, lately, when portions of Haydn's “Creation” have been sung. The whole oratorio will be given, and there will be the greatest curiosity to bear the several arias, as wellas to judge of the com- porition as » whole. In the third part, Handel’s celebrated “Bird Song” will be repeated by Anna Bishop. The very powerful impression made by her in the execution of this picoe, at the last sacred concert, will induce a vast number of persons to listento this specimen of the pyrotech- nics of the vocal art. Sach displays of conquest over difficult chromatic passages—as they are more brilliant than the usual efforts in ordinary oratorios and Operas—are satisfactory to the taste of thousands who are captivated by thelr extraordinary beauty. Anna Bishop yields to this taste, and gratifies it to its fullest exte: xecuting the most intricate passages With a force and beauty quite astonishing. We pre- tume that the house, as usual, will be thronged. Jenny Lind. Medemoiselle Lind has been visited by great num- bere during the week; among others, by Judge Jad- ton, Mrs. Sigourney, the poetess, and daughter. Yes- terday, she was visited by Rev.
