We have received some further intetligence froin Nashville, detailing some additional proceed- mgs of the Southern Convention, now in session in that place, but we find them not very interesting. Saturday afternoon, it appears, was occupied in debating a motion to adopt the report of the com- mittee, which was argued, pro and con, without coming to apy conclusion. ‘They will meet again to-day. Senator Downs, of Lou eelf in favor of the Union, and in opposition to secession. He announces that he is favorable to the adjustment made at the last session of Con- gress. This, and the epeech of the Hon. Mr. Cobb, must exercise considerable influeuce ia the Southern States. “We were in hopes of being able to publish a telegrephie report of Mr. Clay’s speech on the in- vitation of the Legislature of Kentucky, but it did not come to hand last night. In a speech delivered by the Hon. John M. Clayton, ex-Secretary of State, a day or two since, that gentleman spoke in favor of General | Scott, asthe whig candidate for the next Presi- deacy. lt is not unlikely that the General will be in the field, for, according te present appearances, | there will be a scrub race, which may throw the | election into the House of Representatives. If such should be the case, General Scott's chance | would pot be very goed, as the House will be democratic. The statue of the late John C. Calhoun has at length reached Charleston, where, we understand, itw waa a great deal of attention. ‘The Recent Hamatlp Arrivalse—The Sua- Ppremacy of the Scas, The steemshiy Cambria, of the Cunard line, and the Frsuklin, the first of the new line running be- tween this city and Havre, arrived ta the United States within a few days—the one at Boston, and the other at New York—after a very interesting race, in which the American steamship was com- pletely victorious, having run a distance of three hundred and seven miles more than the Cambria did, and in sixteen hours less than the latter a eomplished the shorter distance. The Cambria left Liverpool on Saturday, the 24 inst.,at 1A M., and errived at her wharf at Boston at 9P.M., on Saturday the 16th. The Franktin left Cowes, also, on Saturday, the 2d instant, at 3 P M_., and arrived at her wharf at New York, at So’clock A. M., on Saturday the 16th instant. This makes the pas- ge of the Franklin—teking distance and hour of arrival into consideration—forty hours shorter than that of the Cambria. Thus:— THE PASSAGKE OF THE CAMBRIA AND FRANKLIN tet Total Time Steamers Distance. Days. Hours Cambria to Boston. . ... .2849 miles Mu 0 Franklin to New York...3166 © 13 Ww Difference, ......0ee++ 907 miles ° Nu Aceerding to this, the Franklin run three hundred and seven miles more than the Cambria, in seventeca hours lees time The mails of the Franklin were delivered in this city, and despatched over th» coun- try on Saturday; those by the Cambria will not be distributed till to-day. We may as well mention, too, that the Franklin made, by two hours, the shortert passage ever accomplished by any Cunard steamship from the coast of Nova Scotia to New York. The Franklin will be succeeded by the Humboldt, which, we are informed, is equal to her in every respect. Our readere are fa- miliar with the feats performed by the Collins line of steamships, so that there isno necessity for re- ferring te them at this time. There is now going on one of the most iaterest- ing, and at the same time important, contest which has been entered into since the commence- | ment of the world, or in which any nation, or na- tions, engeged. It is not a contest or conflict in which one nation exerts its influence and expends its resources in inflicti mind, for the mastery; but it is a straggle—a manly, honorable struggle—worthy of the nineteenth cen- tury and of the present age of progress aad civiliza- tion, between England and the United States, for no less a prize than the supremacy of the seas—for escendency in the great world of commerce. It has been discovered that commerce is supreme | king, and exercives a ewey over the destinies of man and of nations greater than any sovereign, any emperor, ot any potentate. The nation that pos werece the most commerce is, per se, the most pow- erful, although it may not have any standing army, Or its people may not be eppressed by the expense of maintaining a fleet to overawe its neighbors, and devoted to the single purpose of war. In afew words, mind, in this age of the world, has achieved | @ perfect triumph over matter, and intellect has | geserted ite supremacy over physical er bruce | force. This contest is between the United States and Great tain —its course will be watched with the most intenee interest by every nation in Chrie- tendom, and its results will confer benefits and advantages to the whole world, aad extend from pole to pole This state of things has been hastened by the use of sterm as a motive power on the cean; and the nation which makes the greatest use of it will be successful in the struggle to which we refer, and erry off the prize. It is only within a short time that the United States has availed itself of this | great element, and the progress which it has made thus far, augurs well for the future. In one bouad, ‘and with comparatively no experience, we have dared to place ourselves in competition with Eag- fund, and even now claim superiority. The steam- ships of the Collina line vie with and outstrip those of the Cunard; and if we ean accomplish so much at once, what, we mey ask, can we not do, with an experience of a few yenre? When we consider that tp to within three or four years we did not ewa a single steamehip, and had no experience in con- strocting machinery suited for ocean navigation, we have every reason to be proud of our success thus far, im the friendly contest going on between the United States and Eogland fo, tae supremacy a, has declared him- | all the injury possible | on another; it is not a conflict of brute force with | of the seas, and for the possession of power. Bat | we shall not remain contented with what we have already achieved. We want more; and we must and will have it. We must leave all rivals and competitors behind us; we must possese the great- est share of the commere of the world, and other nations may follow in our wake, and pick up the i scraps. The commerce of the East, through the enterprise of our people, is undergoiag a change, ond taking anew direction. We are tapping the | Pacific in three different points, and ere many months the waters of that ocean will be united to | thoee of the Atlantic. The commerce of the whole | earth will soon be brought to our own shores, and | the United States will distribute its blessings to the rest of the world. India, China, and Japan will be asneighbors to us, and we shall curry their pro- ducts to the utmost bounds of civilization. ‘When we contemplate the vast and magnificent prospect which is in store for us, we cannot but be amazed; but we cannot help admitting that our reflections are, in some degree, tinctured with pain. While we are thus pursuing a career which is without a precedent in the history of mations, and have a prospect before us that almost over- whelms the imagination, we see at home a canker gnawing at our vitals, and threatening to overturn our gigantic fabric of wealth, greatness and pros- perity, Who dees not see, with alarm, the ten- dency ef the course that the fanatics and abolition- ists of the North are pursuing, at the instigation of designing demagogues and ambitious politicians ? Whe does not see that those disorganizers are pur- suing a policy, the natural result of which, if suc- cessful, will be the dissolution of the bond of union which unites the republic under which we have become what we are, and im the permanence of which are centered all our hopes of the future? Let that union be rent—let the politieal cord which binds us together, be snapped, and we shall at once fall from our high estate. Instead of re- taining our position as the first, greatest aud most powerful nation of the world, we shall become a cellection of jarring and hostile nations, without strength, and unable to command respect at home orabroad. On the other hand, if we continue as we are—if abolitionism and fanaticism are put down by the good sense of the people—we shall go on in our grand career, conquering and to conquer, until the revolution which we commenced, shall have brought forth itsfull fruits, and we shall be the brightest star in the galaxy of nations. New York Evecrion —Following up the de- tails of the recent election, we give to-day | a statement of the votes for members of Congress, in each of the thirty-four districts of the State—aell from the official returns, except about half a dozen counties, which we have in- cluded, as the mojorities are known. It will be seen that the whigs have an aggregate majority in the State, on the Congress tickets, of 6,290 over the democrats, notwithstanding their majorities | were cut down by the operations of the Seward men in some distnets, and the “silver greys” in others. | The remarkable discrepancy between the vote for Governor and members of Congress, on the whig tickete, is mainly to be attributed to the sup- port given to the whig candidates for Congress by barnburner or free soil democrats, in districts where hunker or Cass and Dickinson democrats received the nomination. The extent of these operations will be seen by the comparative table of majorities for Congress and Governor, which we | give with the ether statements. | The same effect was produced in favor of the | whigs nominated for the Assembly—the free soil democrats generally defeating the democratic | nominees when known to be in favor of the re- | election of Mr. Dickinson to the U. S. Senate. | The aggregate majorities on the State ticket may be stated as follows, which will not vary much from the official returns :— Gevernor— fy ene Bom Hunt, a ) 268 majority. hurch. (free soil Laomrens | dem’) 7598 majority. | Canal tt Mather, (hunker dem ) | 1,014 majority. | "State Prison Inepector—Wim. P. Angel, (free soil | dem.) 8960 mejority. Clerk of vippeals--Charles 8, Benton, (tree soil dem...) 6,600 majority. All of the above were on the anti-rent ticket, except Mather, who owes his election to the Castle Garden Union movement. He is the only man on the Union ticket elected. | Whig majority on Congress tiekets, 6,290. | This is a most eurious result, amd tndicates, as in other States, a general breaking up of the old parties. Tuvrtow Wesp on Custom Housr Removats.— Thurlow Weed says that Collector Maxwell is turning out of office some of those who gave active and zealous support to Washington Hunt. Thar- low deplores, eadly enough, that Mr. Hastings, of Albany, known to him as an “untiring” supporter of the whole whig ticket, and John P. Curran, “a hard-working man, with influence at the polls,” and “worth more than a dozen” collectors, should be mong the number of the proscribed. With a terrible denunciation, Thurlew winds up on the edict of the aollector, whom he designates as a petty tyrant, guilty of * nepotism, duplicity and fol- ly.” This is quite savage on Thurlow Weed's part. He ought to be well aware that one set of whige canrot be in office all the time. Each must take his turn at the spoils—and when changes are made, to give fresh ones a taste, a little patient Visite Tus Mrrzoro.is—Sxeime Tus Lions— Buyixe tae Fasuions —The delicious, bracing air—the clear skies and inspiriting sunlight of our Indian summer, are enjoyed by thousands and thousands of strangers, from every part of the land. The hotels are filled to overflowing, and never before has the city been so thronged, as during the present beautiful and exciting season. ‘The temptations of the weather, for the last two months, have been only second to those of the great artistical talent which has displayed iteelf in the metropolis, for the admiration of the commu- nity. We have now Parodi, Jenny Lind, Anna Bishop, Graham, the tragedian, the Ravel Family, and others, all attracting. by their remarkable skill in their several arts, while those who have left us for a season, Cushman, Buchanan, Sir William Don, have drawn largely the attention of the pub- lic towards them, by the exercise of their talents. Music, tragedy, comedy, and pantomime have ruled in their several spheree, directed by the great artists we have named. It is through the influence of such a wonderful collection of great artists in the metropolis, that Broadway has been crowded daily and nightly for two months—that the hotels have enjoyed a prosperity unexampled ia the best business times, and that all places have succeeded better for the very competition, which, at first, threatened danger. Vast sums of money have thus been distributed in the metropolis, and the public economist has per- ceived, with pleasure, that distribution and activity of circulation in finance 1s the true source of gene- ral happiness. Our daily notices, advertisements, and criticisms of evening, and sometimes of morn- ing performances, have directed the public to the several places of amusement; but the great throng of strangers desire to complete the object of their visit, by filling up their days with an examinatioa of the best places for purchasing jewelry, articles for making brilliant toilettes, for improving the ua- derstanding, and for cultivating those graces which give acharm to social life. Our country having become largely enriched by the treasures of Cali- fornia—this city being the great deposit for gold dust—thousands flock in here to draw upon their wealth, and to bless themselves and trade, by ad- ding to the sum of their comforts and luxuries. The jewelry marts are sought—the dry goods shops are frequently visited—the boot and shoemakers are called into requisition; end, by equal steps of am- bition on the part of those who seek accomplish- ments, the great teachers of the fashionable dances are sought, in order to complete the whole purpose of a sojourn in New York. Our columns make known the names of hun- dreds who have the ability to minister to the wants, and comforts, and luxuries of strangers; but in the line of brilliant brjowterte, there is one house that occupies @ position so pre-eminently distinguished as to be worthy ofspecial notice. Turrany, Youre, anb Eis, 271 Broadway, on the corner of Chambers sireet, have a massive display of jewelry, of the very best quality, which is always cheapest in the end. Their diamonds and precious stones, gene- rally, form a collection distinguished above all others in this country; and such is the extent of their capital, that they snatch from the rich belles of Paris many a gem that, in former days, could not have been brought to this country. Our Cali- fornia treasures are like magnets. They draw from the European cities the best of everything; and this firm, who have a partner and a branch of the house in the Rue de Richelieu, at Paris, are the rec ents of all that taste distinguishes as elegant in Europe, or that capital can command. Their saloon is as deep and rich as the gemmed cavern of Aladdin, and every step brings the visiter in the face of new wonders in the jeweller’s art. It is one of the sights of Broadway. In the dry goods line, James Brcx and Co., 355 Broadway, and Stewaxt, in his great marble palace, unroll all the finest textures of the world. Beck and Co. do an immense business, and depending upon — sales and small profits, are continually issuing, ike a tlood, shawls, laces, gloves, silks, satina, cloake, mantles, scarfs, linens, cambrics, and every abric that the loom creates, in such variety, bril- liancy of color, and fineness of hnish, as to astonish even those in the trade. Hereno countess need fear being teken for her waiting maid, because she is in deshabille. The salesmen have an eye to real politeness, and there is a levee or conversazione every morning in the extensive saloons. The discus- tiens are on the great triumph of Parodi last night, and what she will appear in next, or upon botany, geology, astronomy and Miss Mitchell, ef Nan- tucket, or upon the new dances introduced by Saraceo, and others. Every day brings new sub- jects forward, and each téte a téte is turned to account, in the round of social elegancies and delights. But what can ladies do without boots and shoes? How could they expect to take steps into polite circles, or make less than a lame affair of fashiona- ble life, unless on a proper understanding of the very soul of ce and carriage. Elegant feet, “peeping out like mice,” as the poet has said, are a principal charm of beauty. The ancients under- stood this part of dress better than we do. All the ancient carvings and statues make the feet of women the very foundation of all grace. A foot was recently dug up in Pompeii, or Herculaneum, which is supposed to have been the last ef some belle of one of those eities. It has been admired for its wonderful beauty—for its statuesque ele- equanimity of temper on the part of politicians is advisable. The dry leaves always fall after a hard frost. Sexator Srwanv —‘t The higher law” Senator was here on Saturday, and has since returned to | Auburn. The object of his visit, it is said, was to | see Archbishop Hughes before his departure for Europe. He believes that John of New York pos- serees some influence over the Irish and Catholic votes, and it isa part of his game to pay court to his “lordship,” in view of his race for the next | Presidency. With thie influence on one side, with | that of Frederick Douglass and the darkies on the | other, and with half a million of dollars inherited from his economical parent, at the beck ef both, the leader of free soil and abolition whiggery will make a desperate run We are half inclined to back him at an even bet against the field. Tur Hon. Daxter, Wenster comtvo to New Yorx.—The Massachusetts Senator left home on Saturday, en route for New York, and is to arrive here this afternoon. It is expected that he will address the merchants, either at the Exchange or Castle Garden, upon vital questions affecting the general weal, and it he ehould do eo, he will doabt- | less find more sympethy in this Unron city than in the fanatical region of the East. It is said he will | Temain in town for two or three days. Jexny Linn in Portes —The only whig can- didate for Assembly for one of the districts of Rens- eelaer county, was Jenny Lind. She had previously received a vore for Lieutenant Governor for the State of Massachusets, and ehe received several | votes in this city for the Mayoralty. Contivation ov Tears Baarrt, —Ont last advices trom | Branit informed us that the production of tea in that empire ie rapidly increasing, and becoming an impor tant article of growth It is thought that in Will be produced in Brazil as easily and aa largely coflee. and that that country will furnish the world with its two favorite beverages. The onith- vation of ten is attracting the attention of pi throughout the empire, many of whom are their plantations—one part to be devoted to the pro- duction of ten, and the other te coffes.

We believe that this continent, from the eteat variety of soll end climate, is capable of pro- ducing everything negessary for the beppiness and somfort of man, gance of form, and has been made use of, by W. H. Jeflers, 467 Broadway, for the boots of several distinguished ladies in the metropolis. It is said that nothing can exceed the elegance of the results from this foot, and as a beautuful foot cannot be fitted out of New York, Jefiers is overrun with thousands of lovely strangers, anxious to test his judgment and skill. Next to putting the feet in the very best trim, is to know how to use them with the most graceful eflect. Pierre Saraceo is a perfect genius in his way. He teaches all the new dances, the “ Polka,” « Majourki the “Schottise,” and all those new figures that have driven out the ancient family of cotillons and contra-dances. His halls, at 110 Grand street, are always alive. Madame Augusta St. Jemes, in Broadway, Madame Ciocea, and several others, are also in vogue, for their admira- ble manner of teaching. Madame Augusta St. James is meeting with the most distinguished suc- cess. Thus, we think we have blessings enough to be contented with—that we have reascn to look upon the prosperity of New York with the utmost satis- faction. There is no place in the world that com- mands more talent in the beautiful arts, and for two months past, the city has exhibited such life and activity, such gaiety and enjoyment, as is scarcely known to Paris. The money expended by strangers has amounted to an immense sum, and upon its distribution, has grown up an unexam- pled proeperity among all classes. Such is the true mission of talent—that equalizes wealth, by open- ing the puree-stringe, and by putting the currency of the country within the reach of the industry and enterprize of all.

Anna Bishop’s Fitth Sacred Concert. ‘Lert night more than four thousand persons were present st Tripler Hall, notwithstanding the weather throughout theday hed been very anpropitious. It ‘was very evident that the fame of Anna Bishop and of ber sacred concerts is commanding the attention of the public generally, for the audience was of fashionable character.

MONMY MARKET. Bonpay, Nov. 17-6 P.M. During the early part of the week just closed, the stock market was quite buo; but towards the close, a reaction wes realized, and prices depreciated « fraction. Many speculators, who have for some time past been operating fora ries, have paused in their are anxiously waiting the course of events, It is the impression of others that « farther rire will be experienced, while the bears feel that the time has come, and that the fall will be as great and as rapid as the rise has been. A week or two will settle All these points, and show whioh party has the ascen- dency. We donot look for much change in the posi- tion of either of the two speculative parties. Some of the fancies may fall of consideradiy during the dull winter months, while others will continue to steadily advance, until they reach « point corresponding more with the tual val There are, as we have betore remarked, fancy stocks on the list, selling much above their present or prospective value, and the bears will, without doubt, go deep into them. The margin for epecutati the facilities for carrying them, without daring to hold nthe face of s steady decline. With proper dis- crimination, a rich harvest can be gathered; while, on the other hand, heavy loses would be the result of indiscriminate pales of the leading fancies. Within the past six m & very important change in tl ancial affairs and operations their stock? mend who tal juperficial view of the Position and * of of internal improvement, faagee thet ebeause most of them were conceived in ignorance, constructed with extravagance, and con- ducted without the slightest regard, apparently, to the Interest of thore ad a0 freely expended thetr money, they conld not, by amy possibility, be made productive, and therefore have no actual valas as investments. The growth and progress of this sountry eres grest, thet works of internal improvement con- nested with 'he developement of its resources and its prosperity, must steadily improve in preductivences, and ultimately must become profitable investments. ‘There is hardly @ railroad or eanal in the country but will eventually poy goed dividends. It must be borne in mind thieountry is yet in its imfancy, that the population is widely distributed, and @ very small rection is st ali thickly settled. Our railroads draw their business from s very large tract of country, and, ‘unlike those of Great Britian, do @ great deal ef work for comparatively little money. As business becomes more concentrated, the population more dense. and the traffic ot our railroads greater im proportion to their length, stookholders will receive better returns, and the yalue of the works greatly enhanced. It is, therefore, the heighth of absurdity to say that railroads and canale never will be worth anything, or that their stockholders never will be remunerated for the expen- diture. It will, without doubt, be many years before some of our roads pay dividends out of their ac- tual earnings, but we have hepes of even the most un- promising. Canals, properly located, and connected with a traffic in which railroads cannot compete, are destined to be among our most produotive works of internal improvement. They are much more economl- cally conducted, and their revenue is almost all profit. Having nothing to do with the expenses of transportation, the companies run no risk of loss in that department. The expenditures on account of repairs are comparatively limited, while their capacity is sufficiently large to inture a good revenue, if only partially employed, Canals can transport bulky mer- chandise much cheaper than railroads, and they must, therefore, in the carrying of coal, ore, granite, and other heavy articles, successfully compete with roads, ‘Those connected with the coal trade, are destined, be- fore the lapse of many years, to be particularly pro- duetive, and bave their capacity tested to the utmost. ‘The time is not far distant when there will be a want of adequate facilities for getting coal to market in quantities sufficient to satisfy the demand for con- sumption. ‘The exportation of specie from this port during the past week, was as amnexed :— Suirstents or Brecie FROM THR Pont or New Yorx.

We must look forthe closing of the canals of this State, in the course of two orthree ‘weeks, and the probability is that there will be bat little, ifamy change, in the relative position of the aggregates upon the suspension of navigation. By re- ducing the wheat to flour, it will be seen that the aggregate this year does not vary materially from last. In most other articles of produce, the receipts this year bave been comparatively limited. Compared with 1848. there has been an increase in all the leading arti- cles of breadstuffs. ‘The annexed statement showing the aggregate move- ment of the banks of the State of New York, at periods Gorignated by the State officers. is compiled from off- eial returns madetothe comptroller.
