DOUBLE SHEET. | ‘Weight of the Herald in Wrappers. Weeniy Henarv..... Devsie Suret Henan Beware Sucer Heesco.. Welegraphic Summary—Three Days Later from Europe, dc. The Cunard steamship Canada arrived at Hali- fax, yesterday morning, at six o'clock, bringing three days’ later intelligence from Europe. There had been a slight advance on the lowerand mid- | @ing grades of cotton, the higher qualities remain- | ing unchanged. Provision market heavy. The political news is but of little importance. The Queen, according to appointment, had pro- | rogued the British parliament till the 4th of Sep- | tember, thus adjourning a session at once tiresome | and unprofitable to the British people, and silly ‘and impolitic in its bigoted and narrow-minded Jegislation upon matters of conscience. At the | ame time, it may be some comfort to the tax- payers to learn that there isa surplus of three mil- | | ions sterling in the Treasury, unless the whole of | it should be absorbed by the war with the Caifres, which is by no means improbable. The Paris papers were rejoicing over the splendid entertainments given in that capital in behalf of what is called the Grand Exposition ef the Industry | of all Natiors in London, from which it would ap- pear that the entente cordiale between the two na tions is on the most agreeable and friend!y footing. Certain official movements in the various arron- dissements of the French republic had the appear- ance of a concerted action in ‘avor of the revision ‘of the constitution, the re-election of Louis Napo- Joon, and the restoration of the empire. The As sembly Committee of Vigilance will, however, | Goubdtiess see to it that no mischief to the republic | tball result from these proceedings. Such is the sum and substance of the political mews by this arrival, embraced in our advices of last night, by telegraph from Halifax. We may, perhaps, have something further to say. Our intelligence by telegraph is not very im- portant. We shall soon, no doubt, receive exciting | intelligence from Cubs, and the expedition under Lopes, as well as from other quarters. By the way, our accounts from that island are as contra- Gictory and unsatisfactory as ever. We learn, by | our despatch from Charleston, that quiet prevails there; and, by another, that the insurrectionary morement is going ahead with rapidity. We shall know the truth in s very short time, for we shall soon have an arrival from there. It appears that Mr. Rust, one of the parties who ‘were instrumental in procuring the arrest and ex- traditicn of the fugitive slave Daniel, in Buffalo, has been arrested, and held to bail inthe sum of ne thousand dollars, for an assault and battery om the negro. The prosecution has, no doubt, Deen instigated by the abolitionists. | | ‘Tue Nomtsation oy tHe Curer or Porice— ‘Tux Denate in Tus Boann or ALpramen.-~It will be seen, by reference to our repoit of the proceed ings in the Board of Aldermen, last evening, that the majerity and minority reports on the subject of Mr. Mateell’s nomination a4 Chief of Police, were presented by the committee, and that an interesting debate envaed, in which were stirred up the bitter es: feclings of partisanship, andthe President of the Board descended from his chair to the floor, to take a part in the strife, and was, in fact, the leader of the party in opposition to Mr Mat- sell. It was the hottest party fight that has taken place in the Board for many a day. The matter remains just where it stood, and is postponed till next reseion. Bu’, if Mr. Mat- seil’s friends had only followed up the victory they won wheo Alderman Conklin arrived, the no nina tion would havo undoubtedly been confirmed; but the other party out generallei them by tarning around and proposing tue very postponement tha themselves opposed in the beginning of the debate It seems the whigs, since they »Jjourned, claim tha the nomination is rejected. There was very nearly Being s terrible scene, for Alderman Franklin ox pressed his determination to orde the refractory members, who refused t» vote, inte the custody of the Sergeant-at-Arme. |e is the firet time, in the history of this country, that an act was pas wd by the Legislature, to single outan individual for party prover iption Coronet Benton Wanixe Ur.—Colonel Beaton, late Uvired States Senator from Missouri, bag been living in Washington, for some time past, in a very quiet and retired atyle. He was heard of oo- cational t he bas not made the fact of his still being in the land of the living manifest by any net of hisown. It has been reported that he is en- geged in writing « history of Congross fora quarter | of a century past or more, and that arrangements | forthe publication of tse work have been entered into with a New York house The Colonel, howeves, bas ot length waked, and convinced the world that he is neither dead nor on tombed. He recently addresrod a letter to the Pre sident of the Pacifi Iroad Company in to an invitation rent to him to astend the ceremony The letter will be foun of beginning that work in another part of to day’ poper c ‘The willbe seen, oppores the severe! projets whieh have been atartd of late years for building ar road to the Pacific, He cbarast trices the m as »p alation echem and Wweiets that the wok sho ud be andertaken and pros ceuted by the genoral go vernment, and the public lands devoted to the pu pose. Weare much inclined to think that Colouel Benton is correct in his views on this subject; and we do not believe that a railroad communteation bo- tween San Francisco and the Mississippi will ever be constructed by any other means or in any other manner than that proposed. We hope Congress will give some attention to the matter during the next session. ipunieeaaunnnente Tue Brooxiyn Boarp of EpucaTioN AND THE Onruan Asyivm.—We publish this day the figal decision of the Supreme Court om tho claims of | the two Orphan Asylums of Brooklyn toashare of the Common School fund. The case invelves seve- ral questions of much interest to the public, and has been contested with a degree of vigor, and per- severance, corresponding with its importance. This isthe fourth decision that has been made, in the course of the litigations, upon the various matters involved, and it is to be hoped that now the contest will be put at rest. [t would certainly ex- ceed all reasonable limit of their fiduciary power, if the Board of Education, after so many arguments, and decisions, should prolong the litigation by aa appeal to ahigher tribunal. It would then seem to be a strife for the gratification of personal fee!- ing, only. Their trust for the benefit of the pub- lic, if there was any probable cause for doubt in the first place, required nothing more than to submit the question for decision to a compe tent court. That decision having now been finally mede, it is to be presumed that hereafter the cause of education will not be made to suffer by dis- | sentions among the public officers charged with the administration of the funds for its support; and that the Asylums will be admitted to the fall en- joyment of the rights which they have been de- clared entitled to by law. ‘The claim of the Asylum is founded upon an act | ofthe Legislature, passed in 1848, which gave to them a distributive share of the school moneys raised in the city of Brooklyn, in the same manner and to thesame extent as the common or district schools in the city. ‘The Board of Education, it seems, denied that the law was constitutional; they also insisted that if the Asylums were entitled to anything, it was ouly to so much of the Commen School fand as was collected by special city tax, and not to any part of what was raised by county tax, or received from the State. These and other questions have been examined by Judge Brown with great ability and fairness, and he comes to the conclusion that the Asylums are entitled to participate in the entire fand distribut- able by the Board of Education, from whatever source derived; that the ratio of distribution is the proportion of the number of children in the Asy- lum, between the ages of four and sixteen, to the average attendance of children between the same age in the District School, and not in proportion to the whole number of children in the several districts of the city, as contended for by the Board of Educa- tion. He also decides that the Asylums are entitled to be paid the amount that should have been paid to them in the years 1848, 1849, and 1850. A peremp- | tory mandamus is ordered to enforce distribution upon the principles thus eettled. A Dras.—The Michigan conspiracy case drags | along very beavily. A juryman was sick at the last account, and the last proposition from the prosecu- tion to go on with eleven, being rejected, the court adjourned. We shall probably hear next that the | whole business bas been dropped, quashed, or in- definately postponed. Tux Presipent’s Movements.—By the letter from a correspondent, which we publish to-day, i: will be seen that the President arrived, and was formally received, at the Virginia White Sulphur Springs on the 13th instant. Mas. Mowarr.—This actress, who has attained a wide celebrity in both hemispheres, makes ber re-appear- ance at Niblo’s, for the first time, this evening, in | ber own play of Armand. She has returned, after ‘an absence of some years, with renovated health, and crowned with the professional laurels she has gained in a foreign land. We shall have an opportunity of wit- essing the improvement which the careful study and culture of four successive years. passed abroad amidst the highest models of dramatic art, have produced. Al- though ber talents for the stage were fairly developed when she emberked for Europe, yet we think the change will be found to be striking. The press, in London. have been warm in their eulogies of her acting. Her recep- tion there has been most enthusiastic, and abe has cre- ated a sensation in dramatic circles, rarely aspired to or | attained even by their own great actresses at home. She | stood the severe test of the London critics, and disarmed all prejudices, while ber popularity was only equalled by her fame. She bad the most successful engagements, at the Marylebone and Princess theatres, and drew nightly crowded audiences. But « greater triumph may be said to have awaited her at the Olym- pic, where the sustained, through two successive seasons, the fortunes of that house by her own talents alone ; for she was there the star in the ascendant. But while her reputation as a finished actress extended, she was no less caressed and respected in the highest circles of society in England, Her respectable connections at home, her talents as writer, her unblemished private character, and indylike deportment, gained her access | in the great enpital. Her literary claims rest mainly on her dramatic productions. [Fashion was the first of these, a pungent eatire en the times, which had « suocessfal run in this country, and om the Londen bosrds. Her Armand, a blank verse play of a much higher order, and of far more pretensions, is well known to our readers. (Of this we may speak in detail hereafter. At present we bave only to remark that it is heralded by the warm ap- prrelation of critical audienecs at home and abroad tt cannot fail to command success. and be an suspicioas pioneer to » brilliant career in this country, In her act ing, Mre Mowatt unites great d:licacy and refinement of | manners to the most profound sensibility.

PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT —HER MAJESTY’S | SPBECH—IHE DUBLIN AND GALWAY RAILROAD, ETC. Excepting the speech of her Majesty, et the proroga- | gation of Parliament, there is not an item of interest to communicate. Her Majesty having thanked the Lords and gentlemen of the Commons for their dili gence, said :-— I continue to maintain friendly relations with foreign powers. I am bappy to be able to ccngratulate you on the very considerable diminution which has taken place in the African aud Brazilian slave trade. ‘The exertions of my squadron on the coasts of Africaand Brazil, assisted by the vigilance of the eruis rs of France and the United States, and aided by the co-operation of the Braziban government, have mainly contributed to this reeult.

Mowpay, August 18—6 PM. The stock market slightly improved to-day. The transactions were large, and principally for cash. The probability is that the advance is merely temporary. We see no foundation for the reaction, and look upon it as one of those movements usually realized during a period of depression. Erie Railroad was the most active railroad fancy on the list, and the amount of stock put upon the market caused « dec! from the opening price. Beveral Other fancies fell off from the opening prices, and the market closed weak. ‘The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, to-day, amounted to $44,050; payments, $102- 000 22.

RAGE mtin. 13 & 13'e — weeks there has been a very great change in quotations for most of our public securities Where no actual sales have taken place, we have taken the current quotations of the day, but amidst the fluctua! ich have been experienced, they ean not be cor { otherwise then nominal, Government stocks hay paratively firm. Being without | doubt the best securitics im the market, eapitatists have withdrawn their funds from other stocks and placed them in these, with the impression that in the event of realizing. lees eacrifice would be required. The depre- ciation in prices for stocks generally his been so rapid during the past month, that holders able to carry, have sold out. believing that at some future period the same securities could be replaced at lower prices. Time only will determine this. Within the past month or two am immense amount of capital has been withdrawn from stock investments of all kinds, and placed in bank om deposit, ready to be used any moment and to the best advar tage, in the event ofa financial speculation spread- ing over the country. ‘This has put « large quantity of stock on the market, and forced thoro who slready were heavy holders to increase their supply, or, in the absence of purchasers, have it appear that the different securities were depre- clating much mcre rapidly than circumstances war- ranted. So faras our leading railroad stocks are con- cerned, such has been the case. Prices have fallen off much more than there was any necessity for. Their actual value has not depreciated, but, on the contrary. in every element that constitutes productivences and in- trinsic value, railroad stocks generally have improved Their earnings are exceedingly large, and show a great Inerea-e on those for corresponding months last year. There will be no diminution in their dividends, but, on the contrary, an increase in the aggregate. The crops throughcut the country have been immense, the pro- duections of the soll having been greater than ever before known; and when the surplus begins to move towards the seaboard, every railroad and canal, every channel of transportation, must be tested to its utmost capacity. Private and public works of internal improvement must be most productive this year, and their receipts exceed the most extravagant anticipations. In the face of this fixed fact, we see the market valae of the stock of incorporated companies, and of States largely interested in public works, steadily declining. The canals of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indians and Mlinois, will this year give a net revenue greater than ever before realized, and there never was a time in the history of each when their evidences of indebtedness were, in reality, more valuable than at this moment, This is the time for far reeing capitalists to step in and invest their monry to the best advantage; but it requires great sagacity to properly discriminate, and great of nerve to at- tempt to arrest a falling market, in Dg securities to freely offered Every one is anxious to the lowest prices, and in fora decline, fail to make operations as favorably as they desire.
