We have not yet received any intelligence of the arrival of the Canada at Halifax. She Dissolution << Parties in the United tat The recent elections of United States Senators by the Legislatures of Missoun, Delaware, Mas- sachusetts, and Rhode Island, and the complexion of affairs in the Legislatures which are about to elect Senators, particularly Ohio, New Jersey and New York, we look upon as 80 many premonitory symptoms of the breaking up of the old national parties, so long existing under the names of demo- cratic and whig. Various causes combine to hast- em this state of things: among others, the settle- ment of the old party issues, and the new divi- sions, north and south, east and west, growing out of the questions of slavery and the union of the States. The free soil question has caused the elec- tion of a whig from the democratic State of Mis- souri, a democrat from whig Massachusetts, and has had its influence on the election of membera of the Legislature in New Yerk, Ohio, and New Jersey, which will probably have the effect of ehanging the character of the representation in the United States Senate from each of these States. Delaware and Rhode Island, which have so long been represented by whigs in the Senate, have now each chosen a democratic Senator, but the result in both cases was effected by local ciuses, or dissentiens in the whig ranks in those States. We can perceive no causes now in existence which are likely to continue much longer the or- ganization of the old national parties of whig and democrats, and the conteets between them at Na- tional, State and minor elections. There are no great questions of public polity now in agitation, or in progesss, of sufficient strength to enable lead- ang politicians to keep the people uivided into the two great parties, as at present organized and known by their respective names. The old party machinery is evidently worn eut, imto disfavor with the people; it m crockery, be soon thrown aside. Office holders and office seekers will doubtless struggle to keep ‘wp party names and party organization for their own selfish purposes; and the prestige of the name of democracy may enable party leaders to perpetu- fate the organization of the democratic party; as it ie probable that in a republic like ours, that portion of the people holding the most radical views and notions will cling to that popular designation. But there is no prospect, we repeat, of the continuance of the old party organizations, nor can they be perpetuated by the revival of questions of currency, ‘Yaiernal improvement, the tariff, or annexation of mew territory to the United States. Let us look at the present state of parties, and nee how rapidly the whig party is going to decay, notwithstanding its possess on for a brief period of the executive power of the Union. The majori- ties of the democratic party in both houses of the present Congress, will be largely increased, by the recent elections, in the next Senate and House of Representatives, notwithstanding there is no ques- tion except that of a more protective tariff, which will probably divide members on o'd party grounds. Of the Governors of the thirty-one States, oniy seven are whigs, viz:—the execu- tives of Vermont, Khode Island, New York, Penn- sylvan, Texas, and Filo ida, and the acting Go- vernor of Kentucky. The remaining twenty-four Governors of the Sates are democrats, and this disproportion, it is more than probable, will be still greater as long as present party organizations are continued. The Legislatures of five or six of the States have a nominal whig majority, while the other either democratic,or the free soilers hold the balance of power between the old parties. In this forlorn state of things, how, we ask, can the whigs continue their present organization ia the different States, with any hope of success, or any prospect of advantage 1 The democratic party, however, has its own share of troubles, and is dis- tracted at the Nort free soil or anti-slavery agi- tation, and at the South by the question of dis- wnion or others of local interest. It is evident, motwithetanding, that it retains, asa party, much more positive strength than that of the whiga, which will ineure its nominal triumph until aew parties are formed, new issues raised, and new or- ganizations take place The whig party has now been in existence about eighteen years, having been organized soon after the second election of General Jackson, in 2882. The supporters of that President claimed fand assumed the name of democrats, and his oppo- nents at first called themselvee national republi- ; but when joined by secedera trom the ad- ministration ranka, in 1538 and 1834, they took the | wo great national | name of whigs. Thus the pirties which divided the country at the ac- cession of Van Buren to the presidency, in 1837, were respectively known by their pre- Bent names of democrats and whigs. With the Batter several rninor parties of more lumited extent, or local in character, generally acted, and the Brenter por s° parties gradually became ‘amalgamated with, and formed part of the whig party. Such we masons of the Middie end Kastern Sat Bouth, who disayprov rights men of the i of some of the acts of Genetal Jackson, and those supporters of Jack- gon in Tennessee otgia, and other Siates, who ‘were opposed to Van Buren as his successo Comparing the whig party and the existence, with that of the old federal ter arty, find that the ter commenced ite car a after the ade m of the constitution in 1790, and Continued to act 28a distinet party ant sion of Monroe to the Presidency, in 1817 of about twenty-eight years; od twelve of which years, under Washington and John Adama, it was i power. Thrown into the minority on the acces one hundred and eighty-three for James Monroe, the republican candidate in 1817. After a few feeble struggles, the name of federalist became so unpopular that it was abandoned duriag the administration of President Monroe, which was called ‘the era of good feelings,” although be coutned his appomtments to off c+, geacraiy, to men of his own party. It remains to be seen if 4 sumilar destiny \@ that which attended the fed- erajists does not now await the whigs, without the odium of unpopularity which followed the former; and whether a new era ef good feelings will not now, as in the days of Monroe, break up the democratic party, and bring about new organi- zations. ‘Tue Brancu Mint in New Yoru.—We hope the House of Representatives will not be deceived by the clap-trap arguments of Mr. Chandler, and other delegates from Pennsylvania, in regard to he propriety of establishing a pranch mint in New York. The Mint in Philadelphia cannot coin as rapidly as the wants of this section of the coun'ry demand. The excuse given by Mr. Chandler is, that heretofore there has not been a sufficiency of seales, and, accordingly, the director went to work in a hurry when it was ¢xpecied the bill for es- tablishing a mint in New York would come before the House, and ordered half a dozen additional pairs of scales. This humbug is too transparent to succeed. [twas 4 great mistake, in the first place, | to have a mint in’Philadelohia ; but we are walling to overlook that, as the Philadelphians look upon it asa very great boon. We call for a mint in New York, not as a boon from the genera! govern- ment, but because the wants and necessities of the great metropolis of the New Worlddemoniit. A mint may be a wonderful affair for Philaielphia— for an outskirt of a city—but New York is dif- ferently sitva’ed, and her requirements n-ed such an institution. Lt us have a mint here, and we will coin someting besides Washingtons and double eagles, Which count up<co very quick. It is rather strange that the Philadelphia m nt works twice as tard when the New York m'nt bill is before Congress at any other time. The most exaggerated statements, however, do not show that we ought ‘not to have a mint in this city. Comme Events Casr rete Sispows Berore. —It is not improbable that there will be a union between the silver greys of the whig party in this State, and the old hunkers of the democracy. Rhode Island, a bitter whig S.ate, his recently elected a democratic United States Senator. New Jersey, for a long time whig, has become democra- tic, and is about t) elect a democrit c Senator ; other States are on the feace—haif inclined to whiggery, and ha'f.to democracy. Where is the dividing line between the whig and democratic parties? All of the old isswes have been disposed of. Aportion of the whig party are in favor of in- creasing the tariff of 1846; but there are many de- moerats whose views tend the seme way. There is essentially no prin2iple in issue between the two great parties. What, t hen, will be tte consequence ? A reconstruction of p»litical parties, under different names, and opposed to each other en different principles—the most promineat of which will be freedom of the public lands. That question will no doubt enter largely iito next presidential election. The abo'itioa of al) laws fur the collec- tion of debts will, in a!l pr bability, become a political question before many years. We are certainly progressing at a rapid rate; but we must take care that we do not “ bust the biler.” American Ockan Steamsuirs.—There are peti- tions before Congress, for the construction of some eight or ten additional lines of steamships to ply between Asia and the United States, and between Europe and the United States. Those who live till Anno Domini 1870 will see the United States the greatest naval as well as commercial power that ever ruled the world. It is our destiny; but to accomplish 1t, we must denounce all agitators and disunioniste, and all agitation and disunion sen- timents.

Coroner Geer was called to hold an inquest om the body; and, trom the circumstances attending the death of the deceased, the Coroner felt satisfied that some malpractice on the part of Dr E. J. Latham, of No. 6 Mott street, who was the attending physician, was the immediate cause of the fatal result. The deceased, it seems, enjoyed good health, always had a good appetite, but an in- satiable thirst, drinking almost from fire to six jallons of water, and, to reduce the thirst, Dr. Latham undertook, for a fee of $5, to reduce the required drink from six gallons to two. The treatment and cine given by Dr. Latham to the deceased will be seen by the following evidence, taken before the Coroner :— Jacob H.

Verdict accord- ingly. Court of General Sessions. FEBRUARY TERM. To-day commences the February term of the Court of General Sessions, and it is to be hoped that, by uid of an arrangement made with the Court ef Oyer and Terminer, the business of the court may be concluded during the legal term. The judges of the Oyer and Terminer h consented to try a number of cases which promised to take up @ goed deal of time in the sessions ; by means of this arrangement the prison can be relieved and the calendar cleared. When application was first made to;the Legislature Jor the creation of the office of City Judge it was con- templated, by those who applied, to have two courts held, if necessary, at the same time: In thig and in no °ther way can the business of the sessions be despatch- ed as fast as itaccumulater. It is hard for prisoners who may be innocent to lie in bridewell threughout a whole and then learn that their cases have not been reached, and that they must await another term. A ease occurred a short time since, in which a poor la- borer, with a wife and two children dependent on him fer support, was arrested and imprisoned for several weeks, and finally called to trial for assault and bat- tery, when, lo! it appeared that the wrong man had been arrested ; the prisoner was entirely innocent, and the District-Attorney ubandoned the prosecution at once, The wrong in this instance, arose, in the first place, in the grand jury rocm, where reckfessness and Stupidity must have combined, to allow the finding of & bill of indictment, and the evil was prolonged by the crowded prison list, which did not allow of so speedy a disposition of cases as justice and policy demanded. The truth is, we need another court room. It is not to be supposed that the same provisions and eccommoda- tions tor the tranraction of the city’s criminal busi- nes, which sufficed thirty years ago, will be adequate to present demande, There is nothing to prevent the Recorder and City Judge each holding court at the same time, or it there is any mere technical objection, the Legislature would no doubt obviate the difficulty at ere Ce ammea being made to them by the city autherities. A great deal of time is taken up in the Sessions in the trial of very young criminals, many of them Loge mere boys.

Tue Lare Arienerep Merper anv Sutciwe at Provipence, R. 1.—Yesterday morning, between Mand 12 o’clock, during the regular daily rehear- sal at the Museum, and while a portion of the com- pany, were on the stage, Lewis, @ minor actor be- onging to the establishment, suddealy came oat from the wings, passei down to the front of the stage, where his wife was standing, and attempied to stab her with a butcher's knife.” Although the thrust wae a violent one, he did not accomplish hia pose, Mrs Lewis having caught the blade witty er hand, which was very severely cut in the struggle.

Lewis, as we are informed, has ul- ways borne a good character. She has played at the Museum under the name of Mrs. Stickney, that belng the name by which she is best known ia the profession. Immediately upon the occurrence of the transaction we have recorded, a surgeon wee called in, and an officer sent for by the mana- ger to take Mr. Lewis into custody, and he ia now in the hands of the authorities. — Providence (? 1) Journal, Feb. 1.
