In consequence of the announcement in both houses, yesterday, of the death of the Hon. Amos E. Wood, Representative of the Sixth Congres- sional District of Ohio, no business of coasequence ‘was transacted mn Congress. ‘We publish, in another column, under the tele- gropbic head, a synopsis of the proceedings of a great Union and Constitution meeting held at Utica yesterday. We are rejoiced tosee the movement which was first commenced in Castle Garden, mak- ing euch great progress as it does. It is right and proper that the remnant of fanaticism ehould be put down, and that the North should prove to the South that they are willing to abide by the Consti- tution and its compromises, and to maintain and obey all laws passed in pursuasce of it. Accord- ing to our accounts, the meeting yesterday, at Unea, was very enthusiastic. It will be perceived, by our telegraphic despatches, that Halifax, in Nova Scotia, has been visited by atremendous conflagration, which destroyed the barracks and two entire streets of houses. Some of the most awful fires that have occurred on this eontiaent, have taken piace in the British provinces. Arrival of the Ameriea—European News. Our telegraphic communications from Halifax, which have been interrupted by a serious confla- gration at that place, furnish the outlines ¢f news one week later than that received by the Asia. Cotton has declined one-eighth of a penny on the pound, caused,funquestionably, by the very well grounded apprehensions of serious political troubles throughout Europe. The synopsis of vews is exceedingly clear, though brief, and presents an interesting introdue- tion to those details of the intelligence which we shall publish on the arrival of the mails. In Eng- Jand, it appears that the anti-papal feeling has grown into a feverish national excitement. The country appears to be deeply agitated by the ques- tion, which animates not only the people a Jarge, but Parliament itself. The position of that Catholic gentleman, Lord Beau- mont, is significant of the feelings of a large proportion of the nobility, while the riot at Birkenhead demonstrates the character o the antegonism among the people. While the agitation is going on, the power at Rome hears of the opposition to its will with an assumed or phi- Josophical calmness, that translates the adverse feel- ing of England as the offspring of wounded etiquette. The Times newspaper, the organ of the popular will and of constitutional order, takes sides against the movements of the Pope, and thus exhibits by its position an index of what may be expected from the people generally. The power of he crown will probably he called jato requisition to banish the papal pewer, in the new form by which it has been introduced on Protestant ground. ‘What clee may result from this action, om the part of England, time alone can determine. The af- fairs of Europe generally, if they grow into hos- tilities, have some efiect upon this curiosity in po- litico- polemic history. ‘The position of the great States of Eurepe, how- ever, isthe most remarkable consideration at the present time. By the arrival of the Asia, we announced that the King of Prussia, on the 2ist ultimo, had made a speech which was believed to have favored the war party. Farther intel- ligence confirms this asa fact, while it assures tas, also, that all parties concur in the belief that the chances for the maintenance of peace are exceedingly slender. The disturbances between the soldiery of the conflicting powers is less im- portent, then the fact that Prussia has a large force under arme—has negotiated a loan, through Roths- childs, of ten millions pounds sterling, and that France has been notified by her official and spe- cial agent, who bas returned to Paris, that Prus- sia can make no more concessions. Here, then, we have, also, Ruesia declaring that Prussia, at war with Austria, is at war with her like- wise—leaving England and France to take up guch positions as may be most conducive in case of hostilities, to their respective interests. France, distracted by internal ambitions of a pecu- lier kind, and uncertain of its own future, at this yuneture is bound hand and foot, by those, who, in checking the poesibilities of Louis Napoleon's career; check her wholly and entirely. When she refuses to supply an army, she refuses to enter upon a contest, defensive or offe: e. Yetthe busy Palmerston has views—when did he have them not? —and the French ambaseador haa, been impressed with the belief that they are of vast importance. Russia and England have both contrived to inter- fere with the reforms instituted by the Saltan of ‘Turkey—and both, in the event of a general war in Europe, would be very happy to keep one eye on Tarkey in Europe, and one on Turkey in Asia, solely for the ultimate purpose of doing something national and grand in India. Russia, by a war, can effect its purpose in the Last, far better than she can in a time of peace ; and thus the whole game appears te be as pretty a one as diplomacy has contrived in modern times. Praseia is patriotic for United Germany—R.ustia will be pa- ic for herself—Austria may be patriotic on lus sian account, and England would fain be patriotic | for France. France stands alone, without a motive. Should the disurbances of the twenty fifth ultimo, or the position of the forces in Hesse, Jead to an outbreak more premature than politic» it is not unreasonable to suppose that the general covfiegration has cemmenced in earnest. Much will depend upon the action of England, in case are not precipitated ; and he has much to lose by a war of such a nature, itis not to be doubted that she will make a severe struggle to maintain peace. The neutrality of France may aid her— but the active coalition of the wwo powers will be necessary to bring about so desirable a re- | sult Annies. OF Missrgvanies —Mr. W. M. Preston, Mea. Jane 8.

His Excellency, the Governor, having recommended Tater, Ube twelfth day of December, inst, to be observed by the people of this State as a day of public Renmoting to Almighty God, for the innumerable Diessings which wo have enjoyed as # nation during les} resent year. je, in conformit =i the eaid tweift! with, respectfully recom- of December, inetant, to be ople suspend t their usual poy Te in offering praise and then Author of all our spiritual and temporal Dleaslags, In witness whereof, I bave hereunto eet my hand and affixed the seal of Mayoralty of the city of New York, the ninth day of December, A. D . 1850. CALEB S WOODHULL, Mayor of the city of New York. Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Tennes- see, have also setaside this day as a day of thanks giving within their respective borders. There are no people on the face of the earth who have more reagon to be thankful than the inhabitants of the United States; nor are there on the face of the earth a people more happy, or that should be more contented. We are indeed a peculiarly favored nation. While the restof the world are suffering in a variety of ways, the United States stands alone in the eminent position which she occupies—tLe land of the free, and the refuge of the oppressed of all climes. But while we thus dedicate the dey to thanksgiving, and to mirth and rejoicing, let us not forget that it rests with ourselves whether we shall continue in the enjoy- ment of the blessings vouchsafed tous. Let us reflect that our destiny is in our own hands— that to the institutions which the fathers of the country framed for us at a large expenditure of blood and treasure, we owe all we are as a nation, and that to their permanence we will owe all that we may be. Let the corner stone of the founda- tion on which those institutions were erected— the Constitution—be assailed, disregarded and up- set,andwe shall descend as rapidly in the scale of nations as we ascended. All men, therefore, who love their country and admire its government, should be zealous in defending that sacred instru- ment from the attacks of open foes or secret ene- mies. We received from the fathers of the revo- lution a sacred charge, which we were enjoined in the most solemn manner to transmit to our peste- rity unimplaired. If we prove false to the trust, we shail be false to ourselves, to our country, and to pos@iy. By the help of Heaven we have thus far beeh able to discharge our duty as custodians of our country’s welfare; although, within the past year, it must be confessed, it oscillated to and fro for weeks and months, and was, at one time, ia the greatest danger. The crisis, however, was pass- ed in safety, and our great country is again in full career, bounding towards the fulfillment of its great destiny with electric speed. Thanks to Providence and the patriotism of the land, it was rescued from the fate that threatened it, and'from which it eacap- ed almost by a miracle. Let us, then, give thanks— heartfelt thanks—for the narrow escape which we have had; and Jet us not forget that it is the duty of the wise and good among us to take care that, in future years, grovelling politicians, or ambitious aspirants do not précipite our beloved country into such a sea of dangers and difficulties as that from which it so recently eseaped. Let us always bear in mand that the price of liberty is eternal vigilance; let us guard with jealousy our constitution, and our liberties, which spring from it, and ever stigmatize as traitors of the deepest dye all who would aseail either. The suffering millions of the old world, as well as onr own pos- terity and theirs, will exeerate us as we deserve, if we shall allow the heritage which has been be- queathed to us to be wrested from our custody by enemies abroad or at home. Hers axv Exrcutors— re Covrts.—Mrs. Eliza Kobne, of Philadelphia, has recently paid the annexed bequests of her husband, who gave her the option of doing 80, or of permitting those inte- rested to wait till the expiration of her life :— + 2000 240 00 PI 100,000 00 jenary Bcolety. ‘ait: 10,000 00 Advancement of Christianity 5.000 00 Siirras Dispensary, in Chatlont 10.000 o9 5 ynaary. in * Faod, mi Carolin 5.000 00 Fem ae Society of Bt James “ hiladetphie Dispos Pispeniacy 6.000 00 Orphan ion Sesenat of Potindeipnia: . °° 3 ton Démertie Misclonery Bociet} 10.000 00 Mariners’ Chureh, in Cherlestem. sss: 6,000 00 re of ment el vat iota 100,000 00 ance! it ee 2 ' ia. “ye ¥ 6,000 00 20,000 00 5,000 00 20,000 00 100,000 00 8.391 66 2217 oO 2,600 00 This is a large sum,agé the esmduct of Mrs. Kohae in thus handsomely payiai{pever eo large an amount, when she had the power to delay its payment, is placed in strong contrast to the too common delays and difficulties with which executors contrive to worry those who have an interest in the property of the dead. There is no measure of severity strong enough to be applied to the conduct of many executors of estates. ur courts of law are fre- quently furnishing evidences of robbery which startle the moral eense ef the community, and the perpetrators of which are, in fact, more censurable than the common burglars and highwaymen who infest eociety. The shrewd and wily executor knows no mercy. The requirements of the law are so framed that he is enabled to waste the pro- | perty of others, or to convert it to his own use, while the usually poor heirs have no redress, ex- | cept by a suit in forma pauperis, which few have the courage to commence, or the talent to carry on. There are estates which might have been settled twenty years ego, and yet they are in the hands of | the executors, while the heirs in vain seek redress | for such outrages upon their rights. In one case, | twenty-five years have elapsed since the executor was entrusted with an estate, and a principal heir awaits to this hour the slow action of the law, to arrest from maiversation his rightful patrimony. The question is frequently asked, why is it that the law has no stfonger hold on those who run counter to its wise provisions? The law is not at fault ‘The difficulty lies in the patience of the aggrieved party, who can alwaye, without expense, claim the | interposition of the Supreme Court of the State, if he is certain that the property to which he is enti- tled is in danger. Thousands, cajoled by soft | worde, or led are by those who have the property in tmst, ipating, month efter month, a setile- j ment, &@ mere expression of their fears, in ‘the proper quarter—a public exposure of the me- thode-employed to deprive them of the use of their own wealth—would lead to a more summary set- Uement than attends the action of the dishonest executors. The whole probate system, however well de- signed, is lex in ite execution. The forms of law are complied with; but too much latitude is given to those who can only find the shadows of bonds- mén, and ‘who thus prepare the way fora whole catalogue of errors. That some reform is needed, po man can doubt; and we have no doubt that the public good will eventually demand a greater pub- licity of the acts of executors and administrators than at present exists. The system ia too close— 100 little open to public opinion—and consequently men are encouraged in perpetrating acts, which, were they fully kmown, would bring upon them the censure of the community. There are many widows and orphans who know well the justice of these remarks id that the public may not sleep on the subject, we shall make it a point of public interest to hereafter illustrate the value of a reform in the actual operation of our probate courts. Frex Son. Caucus 1x Wastnoton --We under- stand that a free soil caucus was held recently in Washington, at which the Free Soil members o¢ Congress decided that their best policy was, to maintain a “ masterly inactivity.” This is the first oecagion on which we have ever known them to evince any wisdom. The probability is, that when their terms expire, their constituents will give many of them abundance of opportunity to practice inactivity, by keeping them, and all such dema- gogues, athome. We are informed that the Sew- ard clique are endeavoring to drive a bargain with the administration, and to agree to keep quiet if some concessions are made to them in the way of office. Itisto be hoped that Mr. Fillmore will epurn them as they deserve. Contamination is ia their very touch. They should be allowed to fall back into their original insignificance. Traitors as they are, they ought to be contemned and despised by all good Americans. Musical. Panopi's Last Pexroumances.—The Astor Place Opera House was crowded last night, to witness Pa- rodi’s worderful personation of Lucrezia Borgia. While the same startling effects were produced by the Yooulists as on former occasions, the enthusiasm on the part of the audience kept pace with the triumphs of that great artiste, In spite of @ oareless orchestra, the vocalist surmounted every difficulty, and was called out at the close of every act, toreceive the re- newed plaudits of the audience.

IC. i Yesterday afternoon, at 70’clock,a most important arrest was effected by police officers Burley and Pat- tereon. From information obtained, they learned that James Max, acailor on board the Devonshire, whose crew took off the passengers from the Helens Sloman, of Hemburgh, while fn a sinking comdition at sea, wes selling United States bonds to brokers,which had been taken from the letters in the mall begs of the lost ves~ bel, by Max dad some others. He had sold three bonds for $30 each to a broker im Bouth street, for $15 each. ‘The officers traced him to @ sailor's boarding house in Water street, and one of them pretended he was « bro- ; ker, dnd would give a higher price for the bonds than Max had obtained from the other brokers, In this way he got into the whole secret,and ascertained the name of the party to whom the three bonds had been sold. Max was then taken into custody, and seven bonds for $80 each were found on his person. which, with the other three that had been sold, made a sum of $300. This arrest is important, as the brokers will of course be warned to stop these bonds when offered for sale, and persons purchasing them knowing them to be maron TaN to arrest as secessaries after the fact, or as reovivers of stolen goods.

There is no saying what has been the extent of the robbery, but it is believed to be very great. THE GROWTH OF THE CITY—CENSUS OF NEW YORK— OVER A HALF MILLION OF INHABITANTS. We are at length enabled to present a statement of the population of this city, according to the census of 1860, recently taken, This statement is complete, with the exception of the Third ward, from which we en. deayored to obtain returns; but the assistant marshal who took the census of that ward could net be found, derstand be now resides some where on}Long Island. We are therejore compelled to give the amount at 12,250, which, we understand from good authority, is about the present population, according to the cen- susof the ward. The variation from that amount will be very small, so that the aggregate of the city may be stated at 617,849, as we make it by the following table: — Comranative Porvtarion or tHE City oy New Youx, ny U. 8.

Quotstions for stocks of ail kinds are steadilydvanc. ing, and the demand for the leading fanoles, ia better than we have known before this season.
