Summary of the Latest Intelligence. | Our special telegraphic correspondent in Wash _ ington informs us ofa very important movement that is on foot in the Capitel, and which, if followed up, will, we are certain, be attended with good re- wulte. It appears that the democratic members of the House of Representatives, previous to balloting fer officers, will hold a cazcus and define their posi- tion. They will adopt the Baltimore platforms of 1844 and 1848, and also pass a resolution endorsing im the fullest manner the compromise measures of last Congress. Such of the members as claim to belong to the democratic party, but refase to make this confession of their faith, will be placed in co- ventry and ruled out of church. This is an excel- Jent movement, and we hope it will be carried out to the fullest extent. The whig members ought to take a similar course. All good and true men are desirous that the compromise measures shall be a | final settlement of the slavery question, and all who | are in favor of reviving the agitation, are enemies of | the country and of both political parties. We augur well from the movement. We publish, in another part of this day’s paper, the proceedings of the convention which assembled, yesterday, in Bosten, for the purpose of nominating the Hon. Daniel Webster for the Presidency. The | address agreed upon by the convention isa very able document. Mr. Webster is now in due form before the country, as the choice of Massachusetts | to fill the executive department of this government | for four years after the fourth of March, 1853. The platform on which he is nominated is broad | and comprehensive. We have not room, to-day, | to eomment upon it; but we shall take an oppor- | tunity todo so in aday or two. Although Mr. ‘Webeter is early in the field, he has been antici- pated by Mr. Walker, who, by virtue of his nomi- mation by Kossuth, has had the start of him in the Presidential race. Only five jurors were procured, yesterday, for the | trial, in Philadelphia, of Castner Hanway, one of | the Christiana rioters, for treason. The proceed- ings in the court will be found in another column. | We regret to learn that another terrible gale has Visited Nova Scotia, which destroyed a great deal | of property, and did considerable damage to ship- ping. We experienced a heavy blow here at about | the sametime. The storm which prevailed here yes- terday and last night, accompanied by snow, hail, | Prosrscre or France.—By the news received by the steamship Asia, we learn that Louis Napo- leon has eustained another defeat, and that his pro- ject for repealing the electoral law of May was ne- gatived by a majority of twenty-seven. There me to be irreconeiliable differences in the Na- tional Assembly. If this state of things should con- tinue, and if the electoral law should be unrepealed till the Presidential election of May next, there can be no doubt that the disenfranchised popula- tien will go to the polls armed, and begin a civil war in that country, which will result in one party orthe other seizing the government. [fsuch a con- flict should take place, the ultra republicans will probably succeed, and possess themselves of the government. In such case, France will witness a revolution similar to that of 1792 and 1793, which will extend over the whole of Eurepe. It may be said that the fate of the governments of the Old Werld hangs on the electoral law of May the 3lst, which deprived two millions and « half ofthe French people of the right of suffrage. ‘Tuanxseivine Day.—To-morrow is the day set apart by a majority of the Governors of the States for thankegiving. According to time-honored custom, the day will be celebrated with all the honors. Hecatombs of turkeys, geese, chickens, and other fowl, will be sacrificed for the occasion; mountains of pumpkin pies and rivers of cider will be consumed; and for one day at least, business and the ordinary occupations of life will be un- attended to. We like the custom; but the present mode of cele- brating the day is in some respects objectionable. When it was first introduced, it was not intended | that people should surfeit themselves with the good things of this life. The day was set apart rather Scheel House Catastrophe. CONTINUED INVESTIGATION BY THE CORONER—EVI- DENCE OF BUILDERS, ETC. FOURTH DAY. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock. the jury again assem- Died imthe court room, to resume their labore in the investigation tcuching the causes which led to the fatal Teeult at the school house, on Thursday last. The names of the jury were called, and, al! answering, the foreman rose and stated that it appeared to be the wish of several of the teachers of the school, who had not been called to give evidence, to be examined, ands number of names the work; I ha the and nothing else; Mr. Henry and Mr. Nesbit got out the had been placed in his hand for that purpose.

We are not, however, about to moralize on the subject. It will be celebrated in | the usual manner; and to say that people ought net | to feast on Thanksgiving Day, would not be or- thedox in this day and generation. Tue Treasury Derartment—Tue Finances.— It appears that, during the last fiscal year, the re- venue from customs amounted to $19,000,000; from public lands, to $2,000,000—total, $51,000,000—or nearly ten millions increase upon the receipts of the year preceding. This is attributable to California gold. It has given our people the means of increas- ing their importations—hence the increase of the, | public revenues. Eight millions of the public debt’ | have been paid off during the year; and such is the flourishing condition ofthe Treasury, that it has | now on hand an unexpended balance of thirteen | millions of dollars. The revenue question, there- | fore, as s pretext for a high tariff, is blown, by Cali- | fornia, sky high. The only apology for more pro- tection is the depressed condition of the Pennsylva- nia iron factories. Uponthat we may expect a long petition from Secretary Corwin, and a good deal of useless Presidential juggling in Congress. At peace with the world, with an overflowing treasury, with California, and on the eve efa Presidential election, verily we ougkt to be a grateful people. ‘Tue New Orera Hovse.—It is stated by some persons that no bona fide subscriptions have been yet made tewards the erection of a new opera house im this city. We hope this is not the case. If it is, we shall regret it very much. We should like to know how the matter really stands. The project is a very important one to the city. Every one is interested in it. We ought to have a splendid opera | bouse here, permanently established among us, as a means of inducing people at a distance to visit the metropolis during the winter, and for the purpose of cultivating and encouraging the musical taste of and rain, may have been the tail end of it. The trial of Grunzig, for fatally poisoning his wife, was continued yesterday, in the Court of Oyer | and Terminer. Owing to the crowded state of our @olumns, we are compelled to omit the proceedings ef the afternoon session till to-morrow. ‘The Gold Prodacis of California and Aus- tral According to the sccounts that reach us by every steamer from England, Australia equals California in the richness of ite gold mines, as wel! as in the inexhaustible quantity of the precious metal that is mized with its soil. The scenes which occurred in the former, whem the glittering metal was discovered in such profusion, are being | Te-enacted inthe latter. The prices of labor, and of all the necessaries of life, are increasing at an ‘unprecedented rate; the towns and villages are for. saken, and gold, gold, gold, is on every tongue. Indeed, if the last reports from them are true, Aus- tralia exceeds California in her mineral resources; ‘and when the population increases there as it has increased in California, the yield will be immense. It is now time to reflect upom the consequences that will flow from the great accession to the cur- | reney of the world, from these two sources—the @onsequent decrease in the value of gold, and the apparent increase in the value of real estate and Property of all kinds. If Australia really is as rich as California is—and there is every reason to be- Bieve she is—an addition will be made to the curren. ey of the world before long, to the extent of two or three hundred millions of dollarsa year. The re- gold to parchase commodities than it nowdoes. A similar derangement will take place in the funds and finances of the whole civilized world. The effect of such @ state of things on the fund-holders of Europe, and on those whose means and resources | Consist of the interest they receive for loans made by themselves or their aneestors to governments, will be severely felt. With » depreciation to any extent in the value of gold, and an increase in the priee of the necessaries of life, the modicum of interest which they receive will be insufficient for their maintenance It is cstimated there are three hundred thousand persons in England, and sbout B million in Europe, the majority of whom depend On the interest they thus receive from the govern- Maents, for their support and maintenance. A reduo- tion in ‘heir incomes that would ensue from a depre @iation in the value of the precious metals, would | be a series inconvenience to them. It would like- | wise lessen their attachment to the gevornments | and to the existing order of things. These fund- holders and these recipients of interest are the strongest support of the despotiams of the Old World, from selfish motives. Their vory moans of existenoo depend apon the perpetuity of the govern. ments, whose cretiitors they are. Hence it follows that this influence is always opposed to revolution nnd to change. On the other hand, the owners of real estate will not suffer in the least. [fanything, they will be benefitted. Land, and the produce of Jand, and all commodities that are necossary for | the exietence and comfort and luxury of mag, will Maintain their intrinsic value; although their prices ‘may vory and increase pari pases with the depro- Cistion in the value of gold. Their value will be regulated by the law of demand and supply; but it ‘Would require more gold to purchase a given quan- tity of either, under such cireumstancse, than it now does. As the incomes of the fundholders become | lees valuable, to will their attachment to the go- | ‘Vernments decrease Hence a proportionate amount Of support which the despots of Hurope receive from that source, will be withirawn, and the advocates of change--of republicanism —bo strength- ened on the same ratio ! ‘The gold discoveries in California and Australia tined to create great changes As yet, none has beon perceived; but the laws which control wach matters are all poworful and all pervadiog They cannot be resisted; and although we do » at present experience any of the remite we have ut, they are inevitable sooner ater | miner in these places are as inexhav Ma there is reason to believy they are. } Stated at the time our citizens.

Recovery oy Miss Fisner.—The little girl, Rhods | Fisher, of No, 8 Mulligan place, who was one of the most seriously injured by the reeent calamity at the Ninth ward School. in Greenwich avenue. we are happy to be informed, has entirely recovered.

Anotuer Szarcu ror Sim Joun FRranxutx.— The British Admiralty have decided upon sending another expedition in search of Sir John Franklin, next spring. This is very commendable. It puz- zles us very much that the last expedition did not explore the open sea which was discovered at the North Pole.
