Since Saturday noon the steamships Baltic, with four days’ later news from Europe, and the Empire City and Georgia, with the California mails and about two millions in gold dust, have arrived at this port. The Baltic’s news, of an improvement | im breadstuffs and the state of the cotton market was published on Saturday evening and in yoater day’s paper. The Empire City and Georgia ad | es are given this morning. The most surprising | features of these arrivals are the very short passage ef the Baltic, and the receipt of the immense { amount of gold dust from the Pacific. Summary of the Latest Intelligence. | We received from Washington, last evening, ad- | @itional telegraph c intelligence concerning the al- | Jeged fraud on the government. The graad jury | of Washington city have the subject before them, and it might be considered indecorous, if not im- proper, in us to say anything concerning it until they have got through with their investigation. We shall, therefore, reserve making any further eomment on the subject for the present, and will eontent ourselves by simply saying that we hope the | excitement that has been created by this and other ary kind, from dabbling in such matters for the future. It is either direc: or indireet corruption for gach persons to be converned in any way in getting | elaims pasred. Jenny Lind gave a concert on the evening of the Sftbh, at Hartford, but it appears that there was some disposition to rict on the occasion. Weregret this. Miss Lind is now, comparatively speaking, mnprotected, and she should be treated as a lady | tage by paying for it.

The Ohio Convention— Che Next Presidsney— | ‘The North and the South, ‘We published in yeeterday’s Herald, a synopsis of the provseedings of the Whig State Convention, | whieh was recently held at Columbus, in the State f Obio, and informed our readers that (reneral Seot: had received ‘he nomination of that conven- | tion for the Presidency. General Seot: has thus re- | eeived the nomination of two State Conventions— that of Ohio, and that of lennsylvania—besides having been nominated at public meetings in Dela- ware, Indiana, and, perhaps, other places.

The convention which nomina'‘ed him fm Pennsylvania established a platform of principles which will prevent him from getting a single vote @outh of Maron and Dixon's line, and the con- temptible and eneaking manger in which the Ohio Convention dodged any expression of opinion on the eompromite measures, and expecially the Fugitive Slave law passed ‘by the last Congress, will make his case worse, if possible. No candidate, whig r democrat, who will not take Southern and | eonstitutiona! grownd on the great question of the day, will stand any chance of suecess. This is as | goodasrettled. Situated, however, asthe Southern States are at present, and determined, as we believe they are, to regaia their lost power in the councils of the natin, or at least.to reetore the equilibrium of gepresentation which was disturbed by the admiesion of California, it ie very probable that they would Be plenred at the nomimation of Gen.

If they carinot acquire this in the next Presidential election, they will retire ina body, and form a confederacy, embracing every State south of Mason and Dixon's line, and also Lower California, Sonora, and in all probability other parts of Mexico. Such acquisition or annexation, would, in any case, be inevitable at some time or other; but it will be hastened and precipitated by the anwise conduct and proceedings of the abolition whigs of the Nor- thern States. The United States of America, therefore, are en” tering upon a new cycle—a new career in their his- tory, for weal or for woe. Destiny would at some future time attract us to the point to which the Southern States are now directing us in advance. But we can’t stop. The precious minerals of Mex- ico will be thrown in as spice to savor the dish which the South is preparing for us,and this will make it irresistible. Immediate secession is not at present eeriously thought of in any Southern State, even in South Carolina, notwithstanding all that we hear about it. The South have higher, andgreater, and more comprehensive objects in view, and we may look for their developement from day to day. The first movement will take place in Georgia. The ball there to be set in motion will be increased in its moment til it will effect the object of those who will . viz: the re-acquisition of the balance o x by the South; or it will re- heavier blow to the guiltyinthe end. Tempted by the impunity given to the Plainfield financiers, other operators have followed suit; some of them have been caught im the meshes of the law, and sentence has been passed upon them. Har-— vey Dayton, Cashier of the State Bank at | Morris, was sentenced on Thursday, by the Sup- reme Court, at Trenton, to a fine of $600 for perjury, in swearing a false affidavit, that said | bank had a bona fide cash capital of $40,000, when the securities upon which the oath was based were | fictitious, and the men whose names were attached to them were mea of straw. The punishment is | extremely light, considering that he got his own $6,000 check out of the bank, and many thousands of dollars more were realized by the operation. | Butit must not be forgotten that the conviction was the first one for such an offence, and that the | convict was a subordinate officer, and acted under | the direction of others. Lambert Norton, who | occupied the highest position in the bank—being both a director and the president—is to be tried | for the same offence in September, and it remains | to be seen how he will be dealt with. Some of the | operators in the State Bank at Morris, are still | unwhipped of justice, who ought to be placed at | the bar, side by side with him, for subornation of | perjury. It appears that the “confidence man”—the | One-eye of all these financial operators—E. A. | Thompson, has come out in a letter in a Cincinnati | paper, denying that he is more than an agent in | the matter, and telling the editors and the rest of sowe to ree the World’s Fair in London, others in- teat en business, as well as pleasure and sight-‘ee- —and others still, to make a Ei tour, and to learn the real condition of things in the old | world. The motives of those visiting Europe, are, of course, as various as the individuals themselves, and taste, fashion, epeculation, observation, curi- osity, business, each and all, have had to do with these many pilgrimages across the Atiantic, ‘The last steamer for Liverpool—the Arctic—took out about a hundred and twenty-five passengers, and with prosperous gales, will make, probably, ashort passage. James Gordon Bennett, sq., the editor and proprietor of this journal, with Mrs. Bennett, and their son, Master James Gordon Bennett, Jr., were passengers by the Arctio; and will remain in England for a brief space, and then proceed to the Continent, where the state of political affairs is as curious and as intricate as any of the vast archi- tectural wonders of the great cities. In France, politics present a very curious xudy. The rawifi- cations of political thought are as full of peculiari- ties as some of the old streets and squares, which have an historical interest. Notre Dame Cathedral has not more points ior observation than the politi- cal system of Louis Napoleon, which is a stupen- dous pile of thoughts and ideas, gathered from the republics of Athens and Rome, andthe two Aweri- cas, and from the Empire of the first Napoleon, and moulded into a unique whole, for the criticism of the world.

Trovste AND OVERHAULING aT WasHING@ToN.— On the 28th ult., the ‘money article” of the Herald contained the following remarks :— We bave heard loud complaints lately about the doings in the government Land Office, in reiation to the issuing | of land warrants, and it is full time that the Secretary | of the Interior Jooked into the matter. There are at | | least twenty-five thousand certificates and proofs in that | office, waiting tor warrants; and speculators who uader- | stand how to pull the wires in that department, can get | their warrants through before others which have per- aps been waiting months for their turn. The offices of | the Commisioner of Pensions, and the General Lava | Office, are equally impheated in this matter The ad- Yantage Which this unfair, aojust mode of doing business gives the speculators is very great, and they can well af- ford to pay the doweuwr expected Any man Wishing to get, | out a warrant and a patent without delay, can, by making & present of ten dollars in each of the two offices above | named, step before twenty or thirty thousand warrants which have been fer along time on file waiting their tur, and come into the market eufficiently in advance to com- | mand a high price. Speculators who a: engazed in locking upc aimants. buy up claims for about $70, cash. By paying $10 for hurrying the certideates through the Land Offi ot hurrying making $2), makes a total of $90—and | ach, giving a profit of $6) | on each warrant—the rpeculator thas has aimost the | | monopoly of the market. The iniquity of this system | will more clearly appear when it ix considered that the errtificates delayed so long by the preference given to those who pay for it, are the only ones actually owned by the poor soldiers." Thore hurried throwgh in the mxn- ner deseribed above, belong to speeulators who have | bought up the original cikimns, aud whatever advantage is | gained by being first in the market, isso much addi- tional profit to the speculator. The Seeretary of the 1 terior must look to this, Every claimant should take | his turn, and no one should be able to obtain an advan- of—it is of vast importance to # large class of people, to whem justice must be meted out with an even hand. | | Secretary Stuart must purge his department of all who have so ‘little regard for the public, whose interests are | | entrusted to their keeping. On this sudject the follwing deprecatory, and | didactic, and dictatorial epistle has been received | from the Commissioner of Pensions :— | To TH 1TOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. | Prxsiox Orricr, Waantworow, July 4.1851, — | Sin :—A friewd in New York haa sent me the Herald of | the 28th uit., in the money article of which, of the pre- { ceding day. reference is made to certain rumors imypli- | cating the Pension and Land Offices in the improper , iveulpg of warrants, under the act of September 28. 1950, | ‘Tbe Land Office being very able to defend itself, docs not | need any aid from me; but, in regard to the Pension | Bureau, of which Iam the head, permit ms to state, for ~ ur information, thet a rule of the Department of the | oterior requires, end, as faras I koow and believe has been rigidly observed. that all applications under the act referred to, shall be acted on in turn, of in the order of time in which they have been presented. If there has been any departure from this rule, it must have been purely accidental, aud not in any wise sanctioned the head of the office, or his immediate assistants, If, however, as is wore than insinuated by the Herald, there | are, among the numerous clerks of the Pension Office, apy <ocorrupt as to be bribed by agents, or others, to Violate the rale of the department. or continue the isea- ing cf warrente to thove not entitled, it is your duty to eommnicate the proofs of the facts In your possession, or at yourecmmand.

Tbe remarks in the “money article” of the | Herald were founded upon statement: distinetly made to us, for the purpose of having public atten- tion called to the matter, by one of the most res | pectable citizens of New York, a leading business _ mab, and not connected with politics ur politicians. They were made, to cause a correction and re- form of the Gagitious practice alluded to by us, for the benefit of those having business with | the departments, and not from any political | motive.

His letter is as follows :— (Yor the Cincinnati Gazette.] Mrsens. Epions:—In your notice of the New Jersey | dank trials, in your pant of the 26th, you connect me | with the failure of the Morris County Bunk, as well as of the State Vank st Morris. In this you are mistaken. [ have never bad any connection whatever with the first named bank, nor has it ever failed. | In relation to the State Bank, at the instance of some | of wy friends, I have a word to say, About two years ago I was employed to negotiate for the purchase of a majority of the stock of this bank. I went to New York for that purpose, under the pay of my employers, and through the agency of a New York broker I completed the purchase of @ majority of thestock. The money and se- | curities for that purpose were put into my hands by the | purchasing parties. Idid not advances dollar myself, | | and the stock was all transferred to me for the time being, for convenience only, to be by me afcerwards trensferted to the purchasing parties. I know that I acted bonestly, and in good tuitn, in the matter, and I believe the parties for whom the purchase was made in- tended to act honestly in the matter, and I think the following facts prove it. The purchase was made iu Auguet, 1849—the failure of the bank was about first November, 1849. During all this time the credit | ef the bank was good its notes being bankable in all the banks of New York and clsewhere; and if there bad been an intention to defraud the public, it would have | been an easy matter to have put one, of even two, hun- dred thourand dollars aticat on the community, and to have pocketed the proceeds. while the facts show that when the bank failed, the actual circulation was less than | $16 (00—and the ascets of the bank, since converted by the receivers, will redecim thie in full. so that the bill- Tadmit tl t, at the time of 000 of notes out of ulation, and were returned to the bank after ite failure, and these notes ‘were not in circulation. beeause the owners of the baak Were anxious to sustain its credit, and were cautious about peyivg them out.

THOMPSON, | Probably his partner, M. A. Bradley, who, in his | own proper person, was president, cashier, and | directors of the Phonix Bank at Cincinnati, will also shift the responsibility from his own shoulders this satisfactorily, it will afford a new phase™to the public. As at present advised, the mode of do- ing business is this: A rotten, tottering bank is pur- chased by worthless or doubtful securities. Bilis are struck off ad infinitum, and seattered in the west, and when as much of the paper as can be disposed of is thus sent abroad far and wide, and suspicion falls upon the bank, and a run ts made, it is either | Jet down, and the public robbed, or it is bolstered | up for a short time by the redemption of its iseuee, with notes of a bank as ricketty as itself, while the Lingering existence of the latter is pro- longed in turn by the notes of the former, both playing into each other's hands. It was thus with the State Bank at Morris, the Susquebannah and the Penix banks; and it wae the intention, as ap- pears from the evidence, to play the same game | with the Oxford and Phonix banks, by pur- chasing the controlling interest of the furmer; and after making a fortune by issuing its bills in unli- | mited quantities, then failing, perhaps to the amount , of balf a million of dollars. What «high game | the financiers of the West pleyed is pretty evident from the fact of Hobart deisnding $10,000 fur his mero rerviecsas an agent in effesting the arrangement, and comsenting a: last W take $7,500 The game, however, wai » partly because those who played it were false to each other, and partly because of Yankee shrewduess, which discovered that the greater part of the securities offered were not the genuine article, and that there was “some.

Whether they are a!] telling the trath, or, if which of them, remains to be seen by the result, We chall shortly furnish our readers with richer developements than any they have yet seca. In conclusion, we have again to call apon the eld financiers to justice, and also the operators in the Maryland swindle. It i¢ upon these, that the law ought to deal out its heaviest vergeance, making them @ vignal example, and “® terror to evil dvers” al over the land.

Musical and Dramatic Gossip. There have been large audiences for the last fortnight at Castle Garden, and the opera is advancing rapidly in public favor with the great company under the direction of Maratzek, who has engaged Costini, and Badiall, and Selvi, a8 an addition to the other vocalists. “Ro- berto Devereaux,” therefore, may be expected in the ecurse of the week—an opera that has many charming points, and a “Marino Faliero” is a great work, and whenever it is repeated must command a large share of the admiration of the publie. The production of “Anna Bolena,” during the part week, has been an event of no common interest in musieal circles, Bosio sang the rdle of the unfcrtunate queen with wonderful skill and effect and from the cavating to the preghiera of the final scene: which Donizetti has exquisitely abstracted from “ Iome_ sweet Bome,” in eompliment to Evglish melody— this fascinating artiste created an extraordinary sensation. She was called before the curtain several times in the course of the representation. “Ernani,” too, has thus far proved very popular, To-night all the strength of the company will be concentrated on the opera; and | as the Garden has now become the fixed resort of beauty, fashion, wit, and taste, a large audience may be expected, for Bettini gives a mew charm to the music; his magnificent voice and earnest and impassioned inan- ner, contrasting splendidly with the sober tones of Ma- rini’s ponderous and noble organ, Tru‘, too, has given new life to her personation of Elvira, and Beneventano must always be a favorite as Carlos, Indeed, we cannot expeet to see the opera performed with a stronger cast ip this country, or in Europe. Among the other musical movements announced, we hear rumors of a new opera company for the autumn, and it is said that three applications have been made for the astor Place house. Could the stage be sunk eight- een feet, and the scenery run under the street, the ea- pacity of the house might be enlarged so as to make the opera profitable to a manager,—but at the former large prices it would not succeed, with the greatest talent or the utmost novelty, Anna Bishop and Boehsa have de- termined to give some musical entertaluments at Al- buny, Buffalo and other cities at the northwest. Ste fenone still remains in town, resting upon ber laurvls. Ama where are Borghere and several other vocalits of emi- pence, Italian and English—among the latter, Madame Bouchelle. ‘The peerless Parodi is at Niagara Falls, where the will seek repose after having made @ quiet but most | sucessful tour through the Southern States. She has given fifty concerts, during her absence, and has been bighly gratified at the abundant measure of her success —proving herself unsurpassed in the concert-room as | well as on the stage. In the dramatic world there has been litthe novelty to interest the lovers of the drama, though the theatres | have been wellattended. A new burlesque is announced at th and brilliant, as it is the production of a practised baad. At Brovgbam’s Lyceum, in the course of the week, a French dramatic troupe, with M. Robert Kemp as direc- tor, will bieak new ground. M. Kemp is anartist highly | distinguebed in Paris, and will prove attractive here | among our French population, At Niblo’s, Celestine and Victorine Franck bave been engaged to strengthen the attractions of the season. ‘The most interesting dramatic movement of the season, however. is that which is to take place at the Broadway theatre during the present week. It is to commence on ‘Wednesday evening, in the shape of two stars of Ameri- can origin, Their culmination will prove highly attrac. tive; ard as they will exchange characters, there must be a very strong interest among the real lovers of the drama, to see how the two performors will interpret thelr respective riles. dal of positive merit, though their styles are widely dit- | ferent. The former,as we have always thought, is op poved to the curious traditions of the stage, and aims to | show that an original mind may strike out acceptably portraiiures of character, even if they are new in manuer Neafle, with a large experience, displays in bis style what may be accomplished by one who adberes to the rehool and manner of the Eaglish performer, as gather. ed from the traditions of Betterton and Garrick. Buchanan's style is maseive, intense, and overwhelming, cut out by an individual mind, eernest in its work— Neatie’s style comprehends and blends the beauties of other articts—is various, active, and intelligent, and is evolved by artistical study of approved models there are merits in both performers well worthy of study; and we doubt not their numerous friends will muster on the nights on which they appear, to see who is to have the prim, the laurel and the crown.
