While wm a dense fog, the steamboat Atlantic came in col- Maion with the propellor Ogdensburg with such vie~ ence that, in the course of half an hour, the for- mer vessel sunk, carrying down with her to & watery grave upwards of two hundred persons. We haye commented at length on this lamentable oc- enrrence in another column. By reference to the despatch from our special Washington correspondent, it will be seen that the Sshery trouble with our colonial neighbors on the ether side of the St. Lawrence, is every day assu- ming a more important and ominous shape. as is reported, Great Britain really intends to force us io submit to the colonial construction of the treaty of 1818, the worst of con- mequences may be apprehended. to nego- tinting for reciprocal trade with the provinces, that ie out of the question, while a hostile fleet is concen- trated upon our borders, and threatening to annihi- Yate our hardy fishermen. Not only are a large portion of the American people aroused to this matter, but our Senators and Representatives in Congress are beginning to expross their indignation im werds that will soon set the whole nation ina blaze, unless a compromise of some kind is effected. That the affair will speedily be amicably adjusted ie devoutly to be wished; but should things come to the worst, the first gun that is fired will be the death-knell te Britain’s grasp upon American soil. She has much to lose and nothing to gain by adopt- ing extreme measures. The defeat of Mr. Hale’s motion to.take up the free farm bill in the United States Senate, yester- day, by the decisive vote of twenty-eight nays to sixteen yeas, is pretty good evidence thatthe sound pense of a majority of our Senators will keep them aloof from this illegal and upjust measure during the present session. It will be observed that John P. Hale is very desirous of gaining strength for the eoming Presidential campaign, by advocating this abominable scheme to defraud the government of the public lands—it being one of the principal features of | the heterogenous ingredients compc of the free soil party. Our correspondent writes, that it is possible the Senate may take up and push through, before the close of tho se n, the House bill for the distribution of a portion of the public lands among all the States. It is sincerely to be hoped that this will not be the case, for, although this is decidedly preferable to the free farm bill, enough of the public domain has already been squan- slered for 5 tional and i al purposes Haying postponed the private calendar, the Senate took up and passed the bill altering the poste | age laws so as to al papers to be sent to any } cent. This bill system under which we have of late been operating, but it is not perfect yet byany means. Mr. Mason w, among other things, news t ofthe Union for one reported some resolutions bearing bard upon the conduct of Mr. Bartlett, the Mexican Boundary Commissioner, which were made the special order for next Tuesday. A debate followed upon the River and Harbor , after which several of the amendments were agreed to. It is quite likely that tke Senate will pass this measure today. During the day a motion to go an election for a public printer was lost by a tie vote. This, in all prol bility, ents the Union out of its anticipated Con- | gressiopal pap prior to the Presidential election After passing the bill allowing the soldiers in the last war with Great Britain to exchange their un- iillable bounty lands for those they can cultivate, and tabling the Senate bill for e nding the time for the payment of duties on the Raleigh and Gas! Railroad iron, the House of Representatives, yester- day, proceeded to the consideration of the Navy Ap- yropriation bill. An* amendment, granting five thousand dollars to pay for a bnrial ground for seamen who die in the New York Hospital, was Agreed to, after which the bill was passed. Mr. Stanton’s amendment, providing that vessels shall not be repaired when it is found that the expense will exceed two-thirds of their original cost, was stricken out. An unsuccessful attempt was made to hold evening sessions for the remainder of the fession. The apparent object of this move was to hury along, the business ; but the real one wae to give certain members an opportunity of relieving themselves of Buncombe speeches. Let them print their specches, like sensible men, and not attempt to waste any more of the time of the session. It would appear from the contents of our Boston despatch, detailing the movements of the steamship Mississippi, that the Japan expedition has not been given up by our government, by any means. In reply to un invitation to dine with the Catholic clergy at Halifax, Commodore Perry gave as his Teason for declining, that he was ordered to return to this city by the 1st proximo, in order to join said expedition. What with the fishery and guano dis- putes, and the Japancee affair, our naval officers are not likely to become rusty for want of something to do. The Pennsylvania Whig Mase Meetin the nomination of Gen. Scott, which was held at Harrieburg yesterday, turns out to have beena miserable failure. According to our correspondent, there were not over fifteen hundred persons present, Another enthusiastic Webster meeting was held in Boston on Thursday evening. It was very Sargely attended, and a number of spirited and patriotic addresses were made; and a resolution was adopted to send circulars throughout the State to obtain signatures for a grand demonstra- tion st Faneuil Hall. An address to the poople of the United States has also been published, which will be found in another column, presenting Mr. Wobstor we © candidate for the Presidency, ia- @oponden: of pariy. Tie wires la well wate, to ratify ; and wi comment the attention and ecnsideration If, | he platform | is of course far better than the ‘of the Seeretary’s friends threughout the Union. - Quite an exeitement appears to have sprung mp among the German democrats at Cincinnati,: in consequence 0 the nominations recently made for State and County officers. At a meeting, the other | evening, they pelted with eggs one of their own number who has hitherto been a very prominent man among them and a member of the Legislature. Like the Tammany love-quarrels, this row among the Cincinnati Germans will only tend te cement them more firmly on election day. Among cur miscellaneous telographie despatches, we learn that the democrate of Boston held a large meeting in Faneuil Hal) last evening; the whigs held one in Pittsburg, and that the Native Ameri- eans of Philadelphia have determined aot to amal- gamate with any other party. The last advices from Mexico are of striking inte- rest. As yet the government had been wholly ua- able to quell the insurrection under Rebilledo, who was carrying all before him. Tho Indians were also committing horrible depredations in Zacatecas ; go? Yernment officers were starving to death at Durango, in consequence of not being able to collect their sala- ries; assassins were overrunning: the city of Mexico itself, and the general state of affairs throughout the whole country was deplorable in the extreme. What will beeome of such a miserable people? ce Late accounts from Hayti represent the imhabi- tants of that island to be still suffering greatly from the effects of the plague, which canses death in twenty-four hours unless cheeked. Faustin is still amusing himself by proclaiming laws of a most stringent character, a synopsis of one of which will be found in # despatch from Boston. We learn that a duel was fonght between two | Nashville editors, yesterday morning, in which beth | were wounded. Political excitemoat was the cause. By way of revenging the murder of one of their companions in a house of ill fame a fow nights ago, the members of a Louisville fire company mobbed the building and burned it to the ground. A negro man has been arrested, in Buffalo, on a charge of having been concerned in the killing of | Mr. Hartman, and maiming of Mrs. H , come nights ago. In addition to a great many advertisoments and much other interesting matter, our inside pages this morning contain letters from our correspondents at|Albany, Philadelphia and Houston, Tex Sen- ator Sumner’s epinion on the pardoning power of the President, in the case of the imprisoned Abclition- fis ; Com. Perry’s visit to the Fisheries ; deseription ofthe Bay of Fundy; Additional from California; | Count d’Orsay’s Death; New Buildings in New York; the Mismanagement of the Street Depart- ment; Cuban Matters; a great variety of Local and Miecellaneous Items; Financial and Commercial Reports, &.—the whole comprising matter enough to entertain the most assiduous reader for at least twenty-four hours, and all for two cents. Important Political Mantfestoes. We publish to-day two important political manifes- toes—one from Gerrit Smith, theleader of the Liberty party, and the ether from the Tempera Alliance ef this State. Both are intended to affect the ap- proaching elections; and, doubtless, they will exert a very considerable influence upon them. The document from the Liberty party expresses discontent with the slow progress of the free soilers and abolitionists, and proposes to point to brighter prospects, and lead the way, in u great convention to be held on the Ist of September, at Buffalo, be- fore which the lights of Pittsburg must pale, as the stars are quenched by the light ofthe sun. The | sincere and honest anti-slavery men will rally around this centre, and a platform will be sent forth to the world, upon which every true believer in abolition can take his stand and do battle against the slave power. Fred. Douglass will make Bufialo ring with his savage eloquence, and journals, in almost every city in the Union, will echo his sanguinary appeals, and diffuse his revolutionary and anarchical sentiments among the abolitionists, of all sexes and ali shades of color. The result will be to produce deep satis faction with the two leading parties and their plat forms. The movement of the Alliance will have the same tendency, though it is designed more immediately to affect the State elections. Its manifesto gives a glowing description of the evila of | intemperance, and states that the temperance party are ermined to organize on the 15th of | September, in Rochester, when they will insist upon | having the Maine law passed in this State; and in the event of being refused, they will make the po- litical parties feel their power, by turning the scale either one side or the other, and this will, more or less, affect the Presidential election. it is true, that men who compose both the prrttes are a peculiar class of men of one idea—a class from which our lunatic asylums are so largely replenish- ed. Still, their action will have an important effect, and will probably influence the result to the amount of 50,000 votes. The only question is, which of the ing parties will it affeet—which of the two will it kick to heaven? From als of which itical scale: | eful examination of the mw | these isms are composed wé cOme to the conclusion | that they will most affect the whig party. The | democracy are better organized, more methodical, | | and more under the influence of discipline. In the whig party there is an “agglomeration,” ag their own organs express il, of men of all clas | ideas who happen to dislike the dominant power. | When the repulsion becomes greater than the attrace ments fly off and effect se- ind sometimes form new com- | binations with others. We would not be surprised if the Liberty pariy and the Temperance Alliance united their forces at Buffalo, or Rochester, in order to present a powerful front to whishever of the two enemies they my select, or tomake a grand ehow of figures on their own hook, by which they will demon- strat pir etrength in a more desisive manner than ither of the corrupt parties in their bat- 2 ls of office. The whig party has been for some time in power, and its present disorganized state shows the inca- pacity of its leaders for government—their inability to manage their party and keep it together. The Pittsburg Convention has disorganized it in Ohio, and New England, and the Liberty party, at Buffalo, and the Temperance party, at Rochester, will disor- ganize it in this State, and particularly in this city so that the whig losses, on the whole, will be very serious, from the operation of the isms and schisms. One good effect will spring from the success of the temperance party—the destruction of the low grog- geries, and the rowdy influences which have com- pletely controlled the primary elections of both po- | litical parties, and the whiga to astill grentor extent than their rivals. How it will work in other re- spects we cannot as yet determine, but we shall wait and see. Meantime, these movemente will be looked forward to with intense interest by the poli- ticians and office-seckers, and the managersof both the high contending parties will work like moles and beavers, forthe next fortnight or three woeks, to in- fluence the action of the g¢oming conventions in their own favor and agninst their adversaries. DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR THE MayoRatty.— We learn that Alderman A. A. Denman is to be the firemen’s candidate for the mayoralty, having al- ready been nominated for that high office by the Firemen’s Journal, the organ of the Now York Fire Department. We further learn that the firo- men are very active throughout the city, to effect Alderman Denman’s nomination by the democratic party at Tammany Hall, who has already proposed in the Common Council to divorce the Fire Depart- ment from the Common Council, which is to be one of the leading issuce at the November election. Alderman Denman is said to be a man of high edu- cation, of irrepronchable integrity, of great. firm- nese, and one of the warmest ed of General Jackson. In addition to Alderman Denman, woe learn that Myndert Van Schaick, Rohert Kelly, Jroob A. Westervel:, ani others, ave candidates for that distinguished posivion. es and | The Latest and Most Terrible Steamboat | Disaster. When, but afew short weeks sinee, intelligence of the horrible destruction of Hfe on the Hud- | son river, by the burning ef the Henry Clay, fell _ like | sudden blight upon the cemmuniiy, and | brought to the homes snd hearts of many, desola- | tion and mourning, and threugheut the whole com- munity spread a feeling of sorrow and sympathy for ‘the vietims ef that dreadful event, and evoked ex- | eerations, deep and damning, on those whose reck- lessness was the cause of it, we little thought that | we would ever again be called on to record an acci- | deat, on any of our lakes or rivers, at all approach- | ing it in its consequence to human life. Bat, ere | the moon had completed a single revolution, another ateambent catastrophe, still more awful and devas- tating, comes to sink into comparative insignificance that of the Henry Clay. The mind actually startles back im consternation, and refuses to admit or realize the truth of the telegraphic dospaich which reached this city yesterday, announcing the sinking of th steamboat Atlantic by a eollision, on Lake Frie, and the destrnotion of two hundred lives. We | | thought we had but a little while ago banqueted | to surfeiting on horrors, but now we find that that was but the prelude to the foast, and that a sacrifice to Moloch, treblieg in the sumber of its human victims that offered up on the | 28th of July om the Hudeon river, was destined to teke place on the 20th of August on Lake Erie. Who can read without feeling a evld shudder per- vade his frame, and almost paralyze his facul- | ties, the following brief but terrible sentences from the telegraphic report — The steamer Atlantic came in collision with the pro peller Ogdensburg, at two o'clock this morning, | “At about half-past two e'elock, amidst the wild shricks | of the passengers, the stenmer settled and sunk. From the best information we can gain, we are led to believe that some two hundred lives are lost. In these few lines what unimaginable scenes of horror are contained! scenes which we shrink from contemplating, much less depicting. We will en- deavor to draw a veil over them, and, for a time, at | least, restrain the mind from tracing them, while | we attempt, from tho few facts we have got, to dis- euss the cause of the dire calamity, and the means | taken to provide for the safety of the passengers after the vollision took place. Tt would seem, then, that this catastro- phe was rather the result of an unavoidable accident, than of carelessness or recklessness on the part of the boat’s officers. A dense fog prevailed, so that the lights could not be secon at any distance, and no ordi- nary exercise of precaution could have prevent- ed the collision. But it does seem strange and un- accountable—and, if true, must brand the captain and officers either with the grossest ignorance or the most brutal recklessness—that after the faval collis- ion had taken place, immediate measures were not taken to transfer the passengers of the Atlantic on board the propeller Ogdensburg. If this had been done, as common regard fortheir safety should have imperatively dictated, we would not now have to make record of the sacrifice of this triple hecatomb. But it does not appear that this was done—in fact, if it had been, we question if any lives at al! would have been sacrificed. And the Atlantic, we are informed, pursued her course for two miles further, until, “amid the wild shrieks of the passengers, the steam er settled and sunk.” Weare utterly at a loss io reconcile the neglect of this, which would appear to be the first and easiest resource under the cireum- stances, and one to which rational men would in- stantly recur, with anything like an intelligent dis- charge of their duties, by those entrusted with the lives of the passengers. Was it that the steamers did not carry boats, or was it that there were no officers in the Atlantic with mechanical skill suffi- cient to know the extent of the injuries she had re- ceived, and the inevitable fate which every moment was precipitating on her? This is a point which requires a full and lucid explanation. When we say above, that no ordinary amount of pre- caution could have prevented the accident, we do not atall mean to intimate that precautionary measures might not have been adopted by men impressed with a deep sense of the charge confided to them. We only mean to say that there does not appear to have been any unusual carelessness exhibited in the management of the boat. But we cannot morally exculpate the captains of either vessel, and impute the melancholy catastrophe to inevitable destiny, until we Jearn that, when the fog was too dense to permit lights to be seen at any distance, they adopted the other alternative of tolling the bells Though this may not be the ordinary practice, yet we cannot recognize the propriety of not resorti to it under such circumstances; and we think a rious responsibility attaches itself to the man who does not avail himself of every possible meaas to protect the lives of so many hundred beings entrust- ed to his care. We will probably have a full investigation of the whole matter, and if so, we would respectfully urge upon the jury, charged with the inquiry, a minute and searching attention to the points we have advert If intemperance slays its hundreds, and pes- tilence its thousands, the modern steam demon is instrumental in slaying its tens of thousands. Le~ gislation has hitherto failed to produce a remedy, or rather a preventative, to its periodical wholesale demolitions of life: and though there is no doubt that accidents will sometimes occur, which no hu- | man knowledge could have averted or guarded aguinet, yet there is atill less doubt that nino-tenths of those deplorable disasters which have actually be- come characteristic of our habits, are the resulta of negligence, ignorance, and recklessness. Surely wo bave had melancholy leszons enough to teach us the necessity of having a superior order of men in charge of our steamboats and locomotives, and of observing more attention and precaution in everything that may possibly affect human life. . ti ed to. ‘Tite Avovst ELEctions —The State elections in lowa, Missouri, North Carolina, and Arkansas, have a) gone in favor of the democrats by a large ma- jority. Before these elections took place, both par- ties agreed that the results would indicate the public opinion of the country, and also aifect it in a still greater degree in the same direction. These States have gone decidedly democratic, thus show- ing that the feeling of the country is in favor of the democracy, and against the whig party. In fact every State election held this year, Nusth and South, has gone in favor of the democrats. Great eflorts are being made to revive the old question of the tariff, and othor dead issuos, and to galvanice them into form and shape, so as to ope- rate upon the election for President of the United States next November. But in the present pros perous condition of the country, it is impossible to infuse enthusiasm into the masses of the people connected with agriculture or business pursuits, It is ali a contest betwoen the politicians for the spoils, and the people at large have no interest in it. The result cannot affect their pockets, and they are prepared to go for a change in the adminis- tration of the country, on the principle that any change cannot be for the worse, and may be for the better, and that it is not safe to leave power too long in the hands of one party. The effect of fifty millions a year in corrupting men is very great, and the sooner a check is given to the onward progress of corruption, by at least diverting it into another channel, the better for the interests of the nation. It is not good to allow one set of men to have a monopoly of the funds of the public treasury, con tributed alike by the toil, and sweat, and enterpriso of all parties. A change is at hand. Tue Far.vnes or THe Sovruern Mai,.—Somo three months back, a new arrangement was onterod into by the post office authorities, by which the great Southern through mail was to be delivered in this city at an eerly hour in the day—betwoen five and six. Previous to the change, the delivery took place bout one o’clock P. M., and the new arrange- ment was made for the purpose of giving business neem in the city more time for tke reception and | delphia and Baltimore, who fora long time have | brethren at the South, and through them upon the | ans ering their correspondence. Bat, with the, usual consistency ef all things within the post office mansgement, the deliveries have beon « great deal more irregular since than before the change. Then, only about one mail out of four failed—now, it come toband at its advertised time about once ® | week ; in fact, so often does it fail, that irregularity has become the rule—regularity the excoption. In- | stead of 54 A. M., the through mail arrives in the city at 64 P.M, and sometimes at midnight, and consequently eaanot be used by merchants until | next morning. Cannot something be done by the Post effice authorities to remedy the evil? There | must be a great laxity of duty somewhere. False Telegraphic News. { We feel called upon to caution the public, and expecially our Southorm friends, against tho dis- reputable tricke of a seé of newamongers who in- fost come of our Northern cities, gaining their live- lihood by the manufacture and dissomination, by | telegraph, of false intelligence. There are certain parties residing in this eity, and others in Phila- been imposing in this way upon our editorial community. Their chief offence conaiste in palming upon their victiins manufactured foreign news, which they pretend to receive by telegraph from Halifax, frequently in advance of all others. Now, theeo parties have never received, and they eannot | receive, a single werd of news over the Halifax wires, from the time the steamer is signalled off Halifax unti) after the receipt, by the associated prese of this city, of their despatch of three thousand words. Nor oan any other party, under any but the most urgent necessity, and then only with the consent of the association. Any one, therefore, who professes to have received the foreign news via Halifax, in advance of, or even simultaneously with the associated press, may be safely put down as a cheat. Until very recently, the pious Commercial, and the conscientious Post, of this city, were inthe habit of giving to their readers the foreign news, via Hal- ifax, which was either manufactured, or stolen from the associated press, by the parties alluded to. This news, they used to assure their readers, in the cap- tions, was furnished by their ‘* own eorrespondents at Halifax”—the said eorrespondents never being nearer that city than « spot in this city. But, ona vertain time, these parties got their fingers in a trap that happened to be in their way, since when, the old rats of Nassau and William streets have kept clear of all Halifax news, until after its genuineness has been proved by publication in the journals of the associated press. ‘Uhcir ‘* own correspondent at Halifax” has been heard of no more, at least through their columns. He was probably assassina- ted with the same weapon that so cruelly struck down Louis Napoleon. We are g'ad to observe the cautious policy now pursued by our evening contemporaries in the mat- ter of their telegraphic despatches. It shows a re- turning sense of the responsibilities of their posi- tion as journalists. Having reformed themselves, we hope they will endeavor to ieclaim their late asso- ciates in the Halifax swindle—the Inquirer, Bulle- tin, Sun, and Pennsylvanian, in Philadelphia ; the Patriot, in Baltfmore ; the Standard and Mercury, in Charleston; and Picayune, in New Orleans. We are the more anxious for this, because it is very pro- bable that come, and just possible that others, of the responsible conductors of the journals alluded to, are not aware of the dishonesty of some of their news agents in these regions. Tf our bretbren of the evening press are disposed to preach a homily to their late associates who still continue in their sins, we can furnish them with matter enough to begin with. We could tell them of many of the tricks of some of their new8 agents, performed on the property of the asso- ciated press of this city—how they have colluded with certain telegraphic operators in this city, who can read despatches by simply listening to the tick- ing of the instrument, and were willing to play eaves- droppers for a consideration ; how they bargained with another operator in Baltimore to steal the Hali- fax news from the telegraph office ; and how, in this way, thoy managed to get despatches belonging to the association, seven times in succession, until de- tection followed, and the dishonest operator was discharged from his situation. We could tell them these, and many more well-sustained facts, if deemed necessary. Of late, however, these agents of our contemporaries, having been foiled in their attempts at stesling the association’s news, have resorted to another species of villany, namely : the manufacture of false intelligence. We have room to specify only two of these tricks. On the evening of Tuesday, the 20th of July, be- tween the hours of 6:30 and 8,30 P. M., the Balti- more agent of the papers we have already named, placed a despatch in the telegraph office for the Southern papers—a despatch purporting to contain the news by the America, at Halifax. This news went over the wires, and was published atthe South for what it purported to be. ‘. New, the steamer did not arrive at Halifax until full eight o’elock on that evening, and then, in consequence of the line not being in working order, the announcement of her arrival did not, and could not, reach New York until about nine o’clock, and the first despatch of her news did not come until some time afterward. This despatch came to the New York Associate | Press, and no other despatch came over the wires from Halifax that evening, from the time the steamer was signalized off that city until the whole despatch of three thousand words to theassociat on was safely in this city, and that was not until after twelve o'clock at night. The false despatch of the Baltimore agent was pub- lished in the Charleston Mercury and Standard, and created some commotion in that city. Its eha- racter was exposed by the Courier ofthat city, but the Mercury, which received and published it, made a weak attempt to prove its authenticity, and shield its author from obloquy. The Evening News, how- ever, Which, in common with the Mereury, had published the despatch, was not so well satisfied with the conduct of their agent, and, in an article on the subject, thus speaks of him:— Straten America’s News.—We disclaim all knowledge of the circumstances narrated in the Courier this morn- ing. relative to the America’s news, published here on the ih of July, nor bave we any direct information to establish the guilt or innocence of the party thus charged with a fabrication of intelligence, The defence of his ehuracter requires that he should, if posible, place his conduct in a satisfactory light, enn we cannot anti- cipate What explanation can be made by him which will exonerate him, A comparison between his despatch and that reecived by the Courier, through the Associated r , shows that they resemble each other fh hardly one porticular, The contirmation of the correctness of the jottcr, in various ways, leaves no shadow of doubt of the Vilae tg and gross imposition on his employers and the public. Tt should be borne in mind that the despatch thus palmed upon the Southern press did not appear in any of the Baltimore, Philadelphia, or papers further east, which receive their news from the par- ties of which this Baltimore agent ig the head. In fact, they did not even announce the arrival of the steamer at Halifax ! On the arrival of the Niagara at Halifax, on the 4th, the same game was played by the same parties upon their Southern dupes. ‘Tlag Niagara arrived in the morning, and the associated pross in this city received a small portion of their usual summary, of which the following was published in their even- ing editions, at three o’clock:— Havirax Teveonarn Oartor, August 4, 1862. ‘The royal mail steamship Niagara, Captain gee, from Liverpool, on Saturday, the 2th ult, at her whart, in this city, at an early hour this enn She brings London dates (by telegraph) files of Liverpool papers to the 24th July inclusive, together with 62 pasecngers, for Boston. he Liverpool cotton market, in the exrly part of the week, was very quiet, with, in some casos, a slight de- cline, and the sales averaging about 5,000 bales per day; in the latter part of the Anal sae Tan Jeg | of a more , With in- creased fee poriices, Pay Bf the week ware 64,000 bales e imp for the same time. amounted to 76,000 bales, The Evening Post, azd the Commercial Adver- tiser, of this city, who receive their nows from the PaaAd HOUTCE Ao Lae Clesieston Mercury, Zivening News, New Orloans Picayune, &c., and which are published at three o’clock in the afternoon, did not ¢ontain a word of this news, but only the announce- ment of the arrival of the steamer, which they obtained from the bulletin boards of tho associated press. The despatch, however, was telegraphed, by his confederates, to the Baltimore agent of the Charleston Mercury, &c., who immediately sent it to his papers at the South, with the following ad- ditions :— ‘The quotations are : Fair Orleans, 63d. do. ie ka: ” by 2 t ly. SECOND DESPATCH. @ Barrione, Sy ivahse yl 45 p.m. ved August 5, The Havre Cotton market is steady. Goed brands of Flour are held firmly ; there are many paresis arriviag in bad order, Corn is firm. Provisions are firm, Rice is quoted at 168. 9d, to 19s. per cwt, Coffee and sugar are frm. Tobacco is in good nest. *The prospects of the harvest are flattering. Money is abundant. American stocks are active. The election returns continue are unfavourable for the Fas poles! aris ie uniospertant ¢ politieal news is unimportant. Febte betas Louis Napoleon continues his towr through the Departments, and is everywhere enthusias- tically received. Wo need hardly to say that every material part of this despatch was grossly wrong. The cotton quotations are out ofthe way from an eighth toa quarter of a penny per pound. Breadstuffs were quoted in all the Liverpool circulars, by the Niagara, as dull and declining. In McHenry’s circular, bacon was quoted at adecline of one to two shillings, beef and pork were nominal, chee8e neglected, and lard dull. The only sale of rice quoted in the cir- culars and papers, was one hundred tierces, at 18s. 9d. to 19s.; and the election returns, which the false despatch roported to be so “ unfavorable to the administration,” and which appeared to be really the case from the advices by the Hermann, had taken so sudden and unexpected a turn, that the ad- miniatration showed, up to the departure of the Niagara, a majority of fifty-three members on the election returns. We could add to the above other instances of gross deception upon the public, perpetrated by these news agents upon the public, through the presses that print their fabrications, but we choose to await the operations of the above dose upon the parties concerned. Anxansas Ececrion.—From the scattered fragments of intelligence from Arkansas, it is next to impossible to collect sufficient returns together to give any idea of the probable result of the election, We give, below, what we have been able to put in shape, without, however, placing much reliance upon it :— FOR GOVERNOR.

A.tecep Arremrr at Arson.—Yesterday afternoon, Constable O'Rourke, of the Sixth ward, arrested a lad. named Paul Rubn, on the charge of arson, in having, on the 30th of July last. set fire to some bundles of straw in astable adjoining the planing mil of Samuel Osburn, at the corner of Columbia and Baltic streets. It appears, from the confessions of the lad, who is not more than fourteen years ot age. that he ignited a match and threw it among some combustible materials in the building, and then ran off. Fortunately, the fire was diecovered in time to prevent much damage; but its origin was not dis- covered until recently, although it has ail along been sus- pected that the frequent fires in the southern portions of the city. during the past summer months, were the works of design, as in almost every instance they originated in stables or shops, where there had been no occasion for the use of fire for any purpose. The object of the boy seems to have been to create some fun, by drawing out the engine companies but he now stands ® good chance of being made aware that an attempt to create tun by firing a building. will turn out to be quite a serious affair oe him. De was committed for examination by Justice ing.

His name is John Augour. a German, and by trade a shoemaker. He leaves a wife and five children to mourn his untimely end. Personal Intelligence. Aytivals at the Irving House—Col A.
