TRIPLER MALL-Gra Arrival of the Faicon—Ten Days Later from Havani The arrival of the Falcon steamer,with the mails, from California, brings files of Havana papers, which put us in possession of intelligence ten days Jater than that previously received. The oaly ex- citement in the capital of Cuba s*ems to have been that connected with the concerts given by Barnum with Jencsy Lind. Four entertainments, it appears, had been offered to the public. Three of these were designed for the profit of the ertists and Bar- num, and the other for acharitable purpose. Oa the whole, the success of Jenny Liad has been ex- ceedingly equivocal, and, so far asthe receipts can be ascertaised, such as to create a loss for the menager. The extracts which we have given from the various newspapers, will supply all the iator. mation at present necessary on this curious sequel | to the speculation, and to-morrow, or the next day, we shall be able to present more copious transia- tions from the pul lic journals. There will be no difficulty in deciding, from such evidences, the real | state of public feeling with respect to the highly distinguished vocalist. ‘The Arctic at Halifax—Later from Europe. The short allowance of coal caused the Arctic to enter the port of Halifax. We have received later commercial and political news brought by her, | which will be found in our columns—but we have | po news of the Atlantic. The cotion merket is dull, diminished. The flour and grain trade is announced to be languid, but the provision market generally | ie active. There are some signs of activity, in a political way, at Paris. The President has lost his cabinet, and bas had a struggle to forma new one.

Of the members elect and | those holding over, 29 are democrats, 21 are whigs, | and two free soilers. Ten Senators remain to be | chosen from the following States:— New York...

Doubstal. | Conneeticut. . do. Election in April next Temnerssee. ... do. Do, in August next Under any circumstances, there will be a demo- cratic majority in the next Senate, ag there will be in the House of Representatives. There is no pro- | bability, however, thet the old party lines between whigs and democrats will be as strictly drawn a3 formerly, or even es ia showa at the preseat Lime. New iseves involving the integrity of the Unioa, | or affecting the interests of different sections of the | | country, will undoubtedly be presented ia the aext end succeeding Congresses, so that lesa interest is now felt than we have ever kaown befere, with re- gard to the suecess or defeat of candidates for the | United States Senate under the old party names. To accomplish the defeat of Col. Benton in Mis- souri, we see democrats voting with the whigs, | | and thas aiding in the election of a whig Senator for six years, from that hithertoimpregnable demo- | cratic State. In Florida, for the purpose of de- feating Mr. Yulee, called a disunion democrat, we find whigs voting for and causing the election | of Mellory, a Union democrat. In Massachu- | setts, the great body of the democrats elected to the Legislature have voted for Sumner, a free soil whig, for the purpose of defeating Winthrop, the whig candidate, whose course as Speaker of the | House of Representatives in the 30:h Congress, | was generally acceptable to Southern whizs. Ia | New Jersey, the opposition of Mr. Dayton to the _ compromise measures adopted last session, doubtless | coniributed towards the election of a democratic | majority in the Legislature, who will probably re- turn a Union democrat as his successor. In New | York, the democrate, by refusing to sustain the | course of senator Dickinson, have caused the elec- | tion of a whig and free soil majority to the Legisla | ba while in Michigan the re-election of Gen for the next term is somewhat doubtful, such is the strength of the free soil question among the | democrats of that State. We call attention to these facts, for the purpose | of showing how much old party lines have been broken or affected by recent events, particularly by the anti-slavery agitation in Congress, and among the people. We think, therefore, that it is of less | consequence to know how parties under old desig- | nations will stand in the next Coogress, than to know how members will stand on great questions aflecting the iategrity of the Union. There is reason to believe from the elections of Senators and Kepre- | sentatives which have taken place, and those which phere of May has enlivened the people of Europe. | may be expected, that the friends of the Union will It ie more powerful than eloquence, or a temporary success on the part of those who seek for changes Tne Fraxcu Srotiatios Bitt..—This bill, it will hawe beea neticed, passed the Senate by a vore of thirty ayes to twenty-six noes.

Mr. Geyer, the new whig Senator from Missouri, is not much known as a public man, but he is, we understand, one of the most eminent members of the bar of St. Louis. He was suggested as one 0; the members of Preskient Fillmore’s cabinet, when Mr. Edward Bates, one of the most prominent whige of Missouri, declined the appointment. Mr. Geyer is the pret whig elected te the Senate from Missouri, since David R. Barton, who served in that capacity during the administration of Joha |, Quincy Adame. Mr. Rhett, of South Carolina, is well known as | having served for several years in Congress a | meznber of the House of Representatives. He has re- cently advocated secession from the Uaiea by Somh Carolina, but bis course in the Gena'e may be me- derated by |he more prudent course of bie colleague, Mr. Butle ir. James A. Bayard, the demooratic Benator just elec’rd, from Delaware, is a son of James A Bayard, ene of the most distinguished statesmen and federalists of that State during the adminiswa- tions of Joho Adame, Jeflerson, and Madieon. The elder Bayard represented his native State, first as Representative and ten as Senater, in Congress, from 1797 to 1878, when he was appointed one of the commissioners to negotiate a treaty of peace He accompanied Messrs. Gal. latin, Adame, Clay, aad Russell, to Ghent, on that embaesy ; and goan after the conclusion of the health, died in 1815, aged y at a time when his loss was felt and gretted by hie countrymen of both parties His son, the new Senator, known as author of a work en the United States conetitution, has not been very conspicuous in public life. With Louis MeLane, and some other members of the old fe- he eupporied the admini- other democra'ic le his brother, acted with the Presidents, his successors; w Richard di Bayard, has always whig party, representing Delaware in the U. & Senate from 1836 to 1889, and again from 1841 to 1845.

As the ae Bayarde claim to be descendants of the celebrated chevalier of the name, (Whose motto was “ without fear, ind without reproach,”) we sume that the pomp have — » good arestion in the choice of Senator, and t proves true } friend of the Union. . Anurval ov Tax Ancrc at Aat:rax—Axorien Ammnican Srgamsuir suo.t of Coat.—When we ascertained that the tteamship Baltic was forced to pit into Provincetown on account of her supply of coal not being sufficient to bring her to New York, we thought it was a very r:prehensible piece of carelessne.s on the part of the agents of the Collins’ line in Liver- pool. We feared, too, that the Atlantic, which succeeded her, was placed in the same predi- cament. We were much disposed to say several days since what we are no v about to say, but we thought 11 best to wait a little, and ascertain whet",¢, the Arctic would be sent to cea under sivzilar fe cumstances. She wes 6» sent. She w%s obliged to put ino Hali’ax forasspjly of coal. There can, herefore, be but one opinion of the minneria which the Liverpool agents of ihe Collins’ | ne of steam- ships have conducted themselves, and that is, tha* they have neglected their duties most sadly. lt may be that they are ignorant of their duties, or have so much other business to occupy their atten- tion, that they cannot discharge the a properly. In either case they should not pave undertaken to act as agents. The truth is, we want, and must have, an t. K. Co in: st:toned in Liverpool, as agent of these stea r ships. Such neglect must not occur eain. We claim a right to say a word in this matter. We have ardently and consistently advocated this line of :teamships. We know they are capable of outstripping any steamer afloat, and we are sure that any irregularity in their arrival can justly be attributed to the agents of he ship. Some better arr. ngements must be made, and the sooner the bet ev. Resrort or tuk Stace Parson Inspectors — We transfer to our columns, in an abridged form, the report to the New Youk Legislature, by the In- spectors of the State Prisons. It is a document of great interest to all persons who are alive to the condition of society generally, and to the welfare of those who have been shut from the world by incurring the penalties of crime. There is one point suggested by the inspectors that will not be overlooked. Jt is that in reference to the hopes of pardon, or commutation of sentence, for the crimi- nal. Without any such promise of a better future than can be found within the walls of a prison, a criminal would lose all vestiges of self-respect; while the hope that an improved moral condition may induce the legal authorities to abridge hie term of incarceration, operates as an incentive to application in a trade, or in studies which will lead to positive benefits. There seems no reason to be- lieve that the exercise of the pardoning power, un- der circumstances of a proper character, has an evil tendency upon the communities of criminals. The prison statistics show that the result is almost invariably a desirable one. report of the inspectors is that in which these gen- | tlemen anewer the very grave charges contained inthe April report of the Prison Association, the executive committee of which were sometime since empowered by the Legislature to visit our | State prisons. At the time the report was made, | wardens and afficers ot the State prisons, as a por- | tion of the report of the association; and we thiak it quite proper to state, that in the present report there are evidences that the charges were falsely made. Many members of the association have certified that they were not aware of any such attacks being made upon the officers connected with the State prison; and we imagine that the Legislature will now perceive the necessity of | terminating the quarrel, by changing the law which has created this conflict. If the officers of | the Prison Association wish to visit our prisons, | they should do so under stipulated regulations which may not interfere with the privileges o other parti bagement of criminals Marine Affairs. New Cuirrea Bair {n0.—This bewutiful craft, hay” ing been coppered, is now lying at her berth, at the foot of Maiden lane, loading for Ban Francisco.

Alter some time he took another bed, and again changed that for the berth next to that occupied by Mr. Trego. This, too, he leit, and was seen by the officer feeling about a berth near the gangway. * What are you about ’” asked the officer. ‘I’ve lost something,” was the reply. “What have you lost ’"? again demanded the officer. To this the prisoner made no reply, but started on deek. The officer immediately went to the captain and told bim that there was something wrong about the man, and it was concluded to take him into ous- tody. The officer seized him, but not in time to pre- vent him throwin, something overboard. Mr. Trego came up just at this time, and made known his loss. The oaioune wasthen searched, and « twenty dollar gold piece found upon his person, which was identi- fed by Mr. Trego as his property; come marks on the tace of the coin enabling ie to prove it. The watch and other property were not recovered, and the proba- Dility is that the prisoner threw them overboard. On this statement of tacts appearing, without evidence to controvert it, the jury rendered @ verdict of guilty, without leaving their seats. The Court sentenced Mil- ler to the State prison, for four years and nine montbs. He has already, it is said, passed about twenty years in various prisons, ‘and yet bis appearance and conver: tation would induce the beliet that he was a quiet, respectable citizen.

Frivay, Jan. 24—6 PM. The stock market opened heavy this morning, and prices for most of the fancies fell off a fraction. At the first board, Reading Mortgage Bonds, 1870, declined 1*< per cent; Erie Income Bonds. \{; Farmers’ Loan, 15); Morris Canal, 3¢; Canton Company, \; meek, 7 Long Island, 1; Hudeon River Railroad, 4; Stoning- ton, 4; Erie Railroad, \¢; Harlem, 1; Reading Rail- road, 2, Edgeworth and Portsmouth Dry Dock, remair without alteration in prices, with large transactione ineach. It will be seen. on reference to the reported sales, that most of the transactions to-day were for cash. Seme of the leading fancies were very muct depressed. Mobawk looks blue enough, amd the Dears in that stock must have been particularly wel! satisfied with the decline. Wesee, inthe fluctuations of this stock, the effects of prospective competition among railroad lines, Reading Railroad was heavy. A large amount of this stoek has changed handr within the part few days, and it is said some. of the old holders have sold out This, however, has nothing: to do with the prerent or prospective value of the ttock asan investment. The report recently issued must satisfy any unprejudiced observer, that the com- pany must henceforth earn large dividends, and if no more than nix per cent are paid, the steck is cheap at present prices. The bears may get theirfingere burnt f they suffer themselves to get largely short of it. There were large sales of Merris Canal to-day at the decline. It is stated that the subject of conselids- tion was not considered at the meeting of direotore yesterday. What object the board hi in view in putting off this matter, we cannot imagine; but it looks as though there was some personal interest at ssue, which must be protected, more than that of the steckholders generally. There isa power superior tc that of the board of directers, and it may be necessary to invoke its aid in enforcieg the different sections 0° the company’s charter. If the President of the Morrie Canal Company will refer to doe ite in his pos seenion, and to the laws gf the State of New Jersey he will find that on February 9, 1849. the Legislature of New Jersey passed an act to amend the charter of the Morris Canal Company, the preamble to which re presente that “the said company are desirous ef re- Gucing the number of shares of the stock, and of issuing a preferred stock, &e.;”” and by the Ist seetior of said act, the company was empowered to reduce the number of shares to 10,250, ‘which shares shall have the same nominal value as heretofore.” By the 9d section of the same act, the company was authorised to leeuc 11,750 shares of new stock, and to be issued aa preferred. stock, The subsequent sections authorised the opening of books of subscription for the new stock, preseribed the mode of taking subsoriptions therefor, and that the act could not take effect until the same should be accepted by the stockholders, at « meeting thereof, tc be called in the mode prescribed. It appears that on the 18th day of May, 1849, the stockholders of the company. at a public meeting con- vened for that purpose, im due form, accepted the act; that the directors of the Canal Company held © meeting on the first of August, 1349, when it after referring to the act aforesaid, “ that the shares of the capital stock of this company be and they are hereby, reduced from 41,000 shares, their ber, to 10250 shares, which shares shal! nominal value as heresofore,”” That the transfer of the stock now outstanding, shall, after the 20th day of August, be made in accordance with the foregoing resolution, giving a certificate of one share of consolidated «tock for every four shares of the ol¢ stoek, that each certificate #o issued shall have the words “ consolidated stock” under the act of Fi 9, 1849, om ite face; that on the 18th of February, 1860 the books of subscription for the preterred stook were opened, and @ large amount thereof was cubseribed N pursuance of the provisions of snid set; and It tw aid that further subsoriptions have been, or are about | ode made to sald preferred stock. ‘That on the first, day of April, 1860, the direotore of raid Canal Com resolved in substance, thet the reselutions fateh on , he first of August, 1849, to consolidste + old stock be, and are hereby, rescinded. It further appears that the original shares of the as We d are permitted to e i the co cersthereef, in the same manner <stihiheete re the passage and acceptance of said act fo that at every election of directors, the whole 41,000 shares be suffered to control election of directors and thereby deprive the proferred stock of the power the raid set intended to confer upon the holders and owners thereof We leave these fete for the consider. ation of the president believing that his own goot seute will show him the propriety of enforcing the supplement to the charter, in regard to tie old took ‘ae well as in regard to the preferred stock, At the seeond board, there was considere bie setivity in most of the fancies. without eny metorial altera. tion in prices, Erie Income Bonds fell off percent.
