The steampship Empire City arrived yesterday, with $250,000 in gold dast, and one huodred and fiity passengers. She brings advices from Havana | to the 2d inst. Among her passeagers is Captain Robert Ellis, of the Lopez expedi:ion, who was liberated and furnished with a free passport by the Captain General, a short time before the steamer | sailed. Forty-one cf the-prisoners were shipped for | Cadis, on the Ist inst., and some thirteen, who were | quite sick, would follow their companions to Spain | as coon as they were pronounced sufliciently well to undertake the voyage. Many interesting items relative to these unfortuaate men will be found elsewhere. From the few returns received of the election in | Georgia, last Monday, we should judgo that the | Union ticket has been generally successful. In all | the precine's, except one, Howell Cobb, late | Speaker of the House of Representatives, anda | faithful supporter of the compromise measures, ia far abead of the Southern rights candidate for the | Governorship. This is certainly most gratifying | news, although it is nothing more than was an- | ticipated. | It is reported that Col. Jeff. Davis has withdrawn from the canvass for the Governorship of Missia- | aippi. Verily, the tide of secession is at a very low | ebb in (hat State. | Our accounts from Mexiso represent the affairs , of that country to be still in a most unenvia ble con- dition. The inhabitants of Durango were suffering from a famine produced by the depredations of the Indiens, who are alleged to have destroyed nearly all the crops in that neighborhood. It was the un. checked proceedings of these ruthless savages, to- getber with the heavy taxes levied upon all mer- | chentable articles, that caused the people in North- | ern Mexico to rebel, and untertake the expulsion og the government authorities from that seotion of the | country. The revolutionists, at the last dates, were quietly resting ‘rom their labors at Camargo, after bavirg driven out the Mexican soldiers; and the present aspect of affairs intimates that there will be a cessation of hostilities for awhile. However, these Spanish Americans swallow considerable quantities of red pepper and other very warm ingre- dients, so that it will only require one or two pro- punciamentos to again set them in a blaze. A strong movement is being made in Maryland, | to prevail upon President Fillmore to exert the friend)y ipfiuence of this government with Great Britain, in bebalf of Smith O'Brien, and other ex- iled Irish patriots. It is sapposed that the petition new circulating for this object, in Baltimore, will have at least twenty thousand signers. The Governor Geseral of Canada bas not yet | been able to form a ministry. ‘The trial of Margaret Garrity for the murder of | to the life of the Esquimaux; Edward Drum, was commenced at Newark yester- day. It will be remembered that the prisoner | stabbed the deceased on the night of the ith of August, while he was walking in the stree: with his | newly married wife. The court room was densely | crowded with ladies as well as mon, all of whom | mariiested the greatert interest in the pregresa of the examination of witnesses. Deception, deser- tion, end the prospe>t of future infamy, are alleged | ret to have been the caase of her rash the atte.dance of so many female spec- tators at the trial, who are naturally auxioas to as certain what will be the result of (Le matter. The four great American products—graia, pork, | eotton, and sugar—were rather inactive im ovr mar- | ket yesterday, probably owing to the unsettled state of financial afairs. The moneyed men o Burton appear to bo again anticipating trouble; Philadelphians are begianing to feol the pressure, | ana the generality of people are looking out for | breakers. Y The Return of the Resewe—The late Arctic | Expeditions, and thelr Ulecovertes. i The brig Reseue, Captain #riffin, the consort ot the Advance in the late Arctic expedition under Captain De Ha-enfretu ned to this port yesterday | morning. The Advance has been at the Brooklyn Navy Yard for several days, and has been daily | visited by @ large number of persons desirous of seeing the ship, and the Arotic curiosities on board | The safe return of the Kescue completes the history of the noble enterprise. The reports of the late expeditions in search o Sir John Fravklin, from England and the United | Staves, have been read and approved on both sides of the Atlantic. Though unsuccessful in the main object of their explorations, the tra: which were discovered of the lost navigator are something gained, wh other respects these expeditions | bave satisfactorily settied a most important ques tion to the commerce of tho world. They bave proved most conclusively that @ north | weet passege from the Atlantic to the Pavific ocean, though not, perhape, absolately impos tible, iv yet, for all useful purposes, utterly im- preetivable. Bat the moss gratifying feature of there reports is to be found in the geaerous rivalry and co-operation which governed the movements of che American and English ships, It te equally | conepicuous in the accounts of Penny and Aastio | om the ove side, andof be Haven on the other They all testify to the arctic seamanship of Car tain De Haven, his officers, and and thar, wntil theirebips were borne away in an ioe drif for a thousand miles, they generally heid thei sition in the van of the allied squad: Ps remarks we have deewcd esrential, as a p troduction to the statement of facia woick follow, After the characteristic sp pimity which controlled all duoue and hezardonr rerea’ that the old waxim of “ hover to wh @ne,” will be oo 4 by ali parties interested The facts we are about to State, are given in no carping or fanit finding deposition; bat with con dence thet Captain Lenny, on considering them, non 5 | mouth of MeKensie’s river; but time, | failures. will render the fullest justice to the claims of Captain De Haven, and bis officers. We observe, in the last received number of the London Nas, an outline chart “of the discoveries by the respective searching parties from the Aretic expedition under the command of Captzin Penny.” Compared with the maps sad charts of all previous discoveries, this outline, in a very conspicuous manner, illustrates the industry of Captain Penny, from the numerous new islands, bays, and peninsulas laid down. His energy, and the edmirabl of all the movements by land | and sea, under his direction, are certainly deserving ofall praise. The names awarded to two lovalities on Wellington Channel, to wii:—Kane Bay, (after Dr. Kane, the skilful surgeca of the Advance,) and Cape De Haven, (after the American Captain)— are also evidences of Captain Penny’s desire to share the honors ay he shared the dangers and labore of the general enterprise. On one or two other points, however, and no doubt in ignorance of the previous discovery by the Advance, the chart of Captain Penny does manifest injustice to Captain De Haven and the liberal projector of the American expedition. Cxptain Penny, in his explorations of Walling. ton Sound, passed over the track of the Advance and the Rescue, and his results accord com- tely with those of Captain De Haven. We think it will also be discovered that, eight montns before Coptain Penny’s enterprising jouraey, the American ships had attained @ latitade of 75 deg 26 min. north; and that, from this point, they discovered the extended shores whioh appear in the running survey of Captain De Haven, as ** Grianell Land ”—the same which appears in Captain Pea- ny’s outline as “Albert Land.” The proprietor- ship lies between Mr. Grinnell and Prince Albert, and rests upon priority of discovery. The Ameri- can vessels being some eight months ahead of Cupt. Penny, and having actually run within sight of the and and named it, appear to have the righ: and | title of the christening. This land appeared lofty ardccntinuous. Dr. Kane looked upon it as a con- | tinuation of the primary formation of Lancaster Sound and Greenland, markedly different from the limestone which lined both sides of Wellington Channel, in which they then were. which occupies a prominent position in Captain De Haven’s charts, lying well to the north, has, we see, been called by Capt. Penny, “ Sir John Bar row’s Monument.” From a comparison of dates, One peak, we doubt not, Captain De Haven’s claim to the first discovery of that ‘‘ extended coast,” will be found yalid, and eatisfactory to Captain Penny. A comparatively iceless sea, (only indicated to our expedition by the dark appearance known as the water sky, from the reflection of the water.) has been actually discovered by Captain Penny. This clearly points to the Poleniya, or open ocean around the pole. Itis melancholy to think that | the missing ships may yet be floating in this open zea, shut out by impassavle fields of ice, from escape or assistance. Under this faint hope, we understand that application has been made to tae British Admiralty, to renew the search with a steam propellor. By the late British expeditions, the ad- vantage of steam was practically tested. ‘Lheir little steamer did good service, and was @ powerful auxiliary to the squad on; and it may be possible, with @ properly constructed propellor and tenders, not only to reach the opsn sea referred to, bat the passage to Behring Straits may be accomplished. The ice drift by which the American vessels were carried away, put an end to the plans of Captain De Haven. He was for more than a fortaight | within sight of Cape De Haven, Kane Bay, ani other points courteously named after our officers by the British commanders, but the inevitable dom- | pulsion of the ice swept bis ships irresistibly far away from the intended field of their explorations. Drifting with immeasurable icefields, high and dry among the ice, in an unknown sea, for @ thousand | miles, i; is almost miraculous that the Advance ‘ and Rescue escaped. Still more wonderful is it that they return without the Joss of a man, after two years of active hardships and sufferings, under the perpetual winter of the frozen ocean, which shuts in with its icy barriers the open sea around the pole. In conclusion, the recent expeditions have not been wholly without usefal results. They have | extended our geographical knowledge of the Arctic ocean and its numerous islands, and we must re- peat, they have established the utter impractica- bility of a northwest passage, for any useful purpose whatever. The fate of Sir John Franklin is still 2 prinful mystery. Hope of his recovery now, or of aman of his ships’ crows, seems like hoping egainst inevitable fate. It is possible hs may be beurd up somewhere in the ice, domesticated it is possible that his ships may be afloat in that mysterious open sea discovered by Captain Penny; or they may be waiting inside its icy walle, in hope of ultimate re- lief. It is barely possible that Sir John, or some of his crew, may yet appear on the Pacific coast, or scuthward between Hudvon’s Bay and the the sky, the ocean, the land, and circumstances are all agaiagt them. The fate cf the President steamer may have been thefatect Franklin and his ships—they may never be heard of again. The civilized world would rejoice in their recovery, from ite sympathy with | the noble- minded and strong hearted woman, whose constancy of faith and sffection gave courage ad bope, and something of confidence, to the brave seamen in search of their lost brotbers of the sea; but the expeditions bave reported, and the mys tery etill remains. Perebance, the missing seamen were lost smid some tremendous conflict of thor fearful icefelds in a storm; perchance, the wrecks of (he missing ships may yet be found, on some ice- bound inloed shore, or in some of the reaches of open tea, drifting like epectres under the wildly uluminated twi age of the frets circle. Prvanciat Panic. - raring the "past six weeks there have been numerous failures ani rumors of Hardly a day bas passed that has not given rire to @ dozen reports. We have carefally abetained from publiebing the names of even those houses which have failed, asd have endeavored vo keep cut of our telegraphic cespatches aud sorres- pendence the names of bource in other cities, re- ported to bave failed. Notwithstandiog all our efforts, we bave not always succeeded A few days since the name of Cornelius J Weeterve't, a coal dealer in Paterson, N J., was mentioved in alet ter from that place as having failed. We have since been informed that the report is without foundation, and with pleasure correct it. People cannot be too careful in timer like these, in giving curreney to aoy rumor relating to the suspension of any house, a# it tends to increase the ex sitement, ard cause d ficultics and embarrassmente which might not otherwite have been experienced. Th only way to do awsy with the panic ag soon as pos- sible, with the least harm, is to give no publicity to the names of parties who hare in fact suspended, or been reported to bave failed.

Total.... $21,010 | ‘Thus. then, in round numbers, there are 44,000 persons in one duy, attending our places of public amusement, and the receipts amounting to $21,000. We venture to | say there is nothing like this anywhere else in the world. In reference to the Broadway, we are authorized to state that the book keeper of the establishment can qualify to the figures set down for that theatre, as having been actually in the house, and paid for, with the exception of the item 800 im the gallery, at 1s. amount- ing to $100, that part of the house never having been | filled so as to fix itsexact capacity, but being estimsted rather under than over the number it could accommo- date. It is the largest theatre in the United States, In Tripler Holi there were actually present on the night of Catherine Hayes’ appearance, 4.157 persons, At the Tabervacle, one night during the season, the Hutchinsons received upwerds of $1,700, et 50 cents per sent, besides a number of “Cead heads,” ‘The buildings belonging (o Niblo's establishment, set apart for public amusement, are on @ very large and magvificent ecale. The doors are all large and conve- bient, and open out to the street. The theatre stands on an open space, and covers 200 feet ome way, by 100. Ad- joining it there is amagnificent concert and pall room: 120 feet long by 60 feet wide, attached to which isa noble supper room, of the same size. The hotel on Broadway, which will be completed next spring, has a front of 200 feet, by 200 feet on Prince street; the cleva- tion Se six stories high, and it is considered cne of the most wagpificent pit ces, cf architecture in the world and w finished. will cost half a million of dollers. It is but = very few years ago since Mr. Niblo moved from the Bank Coflce Houre; and when be moved up there, it was consid- ered £0 tar up town that stages would not run im the evening, aud he had to build stages bimself. In relation to the Astor House, we have to remark that the rum of $710 has been received in one night dur ing the week by the Wizard of the North, and more than that sum has been already received for tickets for bis benefit on Saturday evening. Our returns are based on hie receipts; on opera nights, the returns, of course, show « laige: sum, the prices of admission being higher. | Mr. Christy states that he received $57,000 last year as the preceeds of his establishment. Negro minstreisy is the most profitable business in the city. In reference to Barnum’s theate, it is worthy of re- mark that the other parts of the Museum will accommo- date 200 persons, end on holidays the receipts have ex. | ceeded $4,000, there having been ten performances in single day. It wii thus appear that the sum of $25,000 ie eometimes expended in one day for smusements, in the great metropolis. We learn from one keen ob- | terver, that two-thirds of all who attend his po- puler plece of amusement are strapgers. The same fact will hold good of other places of amuse- ment, thowing what a vast concourse cf the citi- zens of the United States are continualiy to be found ia the ccmmercis! metropolis of the New World. There is this difference between the attendance at amusements | of citizens and strangers—the former attend sometimes, — seeeeene eens ees AA STE at an urements, in this city, and the sua of money ex- | pended upem them, present a curious phase in the growth Of our prorperity.

HER SEVENTH CONCE T I) NEW YORK. Catherine Hayes gave her seventh concert last even- ing, in Tripler Hall, to crowded house. The Common Council, and the heads of the departments of the city government, together with the © ontgomery Guards, were im attendance ; also the tand of the regiment (Adkins’) whieh, during the interval between the first and second parts, performed piece of music, not quite 80 well as the orchestra would have done it, but sufll- clently well to elicit applause. Next to Miss Hayes, the greatest attraction of the evening was, undoubtedly, Herr Mieka Hauser, whose Performances on the violin raised a hurricane of ap- plause. There has been nothing like his execution in | New York for » length of time. His operation on the one string called forth overwhelming plaudits. Herr Meng's acquitted bimeelf as usual, and Braham rather better. He was hissed and encored together. Marini, pot male vocalists, was the favorite, as he deserved 0 be. Catherine Hayes, who was dressed, with her wonted taste, in ® pink brocaded silk, was received most en- thuriastically on her appearance to sing the aria from Robert le Diable. She was most successful. Her lower notes were exquisite. | ut in the charming duct “Da quet di,” she carried the house by storm. The audience seemed literally intoxicated with excitement, It was just as we anticipated yesterday, a glorious per- formance. It was encored. But, perhaps, her crowning triumph was another operatic piece, the “Ah non giunge”—which hes been surg in this city by the greatest singers that ever trod the earth, but by none more delightfully than by Catherine Hayes. In fact rhe has sung nothing better than that song since she made her appearance in New York. In this her tri- umph was complete. By request, she sang “ The Harp that once through Tara’s Halls,” and concluded with ‘Home, Sweet Home,” which fully answered the most ardent expectations of the audience. It was received with the most tumultuous applause. There was a depth f feeling im her tones, and a mellowness, particularly in the lower notes, that challenged and won the admiration of four thourand people. The success of Mise Hayes is a fixed fart. She sings, to night, at Montague Hall, Brooklyn, where | mo doubt, a bumper awaits her. | Meeting of Policemen for Equal Rights and Laws. In accordance with the call of the previous meeting, the policemen held & second meeting at Convention Hall, yetterday afternoon, and at the appointed houra large number were in attendance; delegates from differ- ent wards. The meeting was called to order, and Mr. Kent. of the fenth ward, was chosen chairman, and Wo Scutberland. of the Sixteenth ward, aud James Daves, of the ‘Lenth ward were elected secretaries. The members prevent were mostly auother body. of men, who weie unable to attend the first meeting, as they were compelled to be on duty. ‘Oo motion, the aon ‘and resolutions adopted at the previous meeting. as publiebed in the Naw Youx Hear, were unanimously adopted.
