We are sorry to Journ that the cholera is raging with the most frigh' ful waliguity in Rassia and Poiand. In the Maticr country, nearly all the schools were closed, and the people were perfectly panie-stricken. There are symptoms of a war, growing out of the Bosnian aflair, between Turkey and Austria. The crops, in many parts of Europe, as in our own country, have been greatly injuiea by heavy freshets, and this fact probably tended to raize the price of breadstufis, as @upounced in the Washington’s news; but the weather bavivg become fine for harvesting, prices had slightly reeeded at the time of the America’s sailing. Coton bad gone up one-eighth of a penny, and, upon the waole, the commercial advices are rather favorable. Nos the least irteresting contents of this sheet are the telegrupbic reports of various political con- ventions and meetings, one of which, the New York Democratic S:ate Convention, is particularly worthy ef perneul. This assemblage secms to have been oompored of & large portion of the leading barn- burners, burkers, soft shells, bard pans, quickeands, and what nore of the democratic party, and the way they mavoouvred for the temporary chairman is truly refreshing to peruse. It was Tammany Hall all over agen, with this difference—none of the parties lost their temper The moet pmicable hilarity prev ed, and when the announcement was finally made that Mr Bristol,a hunker, was chosen chairman, the apavimity with which it was received, shows that there are no national i s among them. The huvkers appear to be slightly in the ascendant; but es there is a great deal of ecctional feeling at work, it is imposmble to form an idea as to who will get the nomination for Governor The Natiqnal Liberty Convention assembled at Capostota yesterday, and got along very peaceably and quietly, so far asthe report gocs.

Considerable unanimity appears to have prevailed among the New Hampshire whige who assembled in Biate Convention at Concord yesterday, and nomi- nated Thomas M. Edwards for Governor. Resolu- tions endorsing the national whig platform, and ap Proving the administration and conduct of President Fillmore, because he does not oppose Gen. Scott, adop'ed. The merite of Secretary Webster were treated with profound silexee, but Gen. Pierce and his supporters were denounced as being in league with the Britich. Our correspondent intimates that the whigs seem to be fairly aroused in the Granite State, and that a brisk contest between the two parties mey be coticipated. Well, it is refroshing to know that the politicians ere beginning to wake ‘Bp somewhere, for ever since the Baltimore nomina tione, they have. been exceedingly lethargic in all rections It will be seon that the Massachusette whigs had a@ large and enthusiastio gathering at the State were ing. It will be reeo!’ ected, that Commodore Perry | was ordered to be b gok to this port by the lat of September, in ord’ g to take sharge of the expedi- tion to Japan. * /anctual to orders, he reached here ateight o'clock | yesterday morning. A statement, of the different military posts occu- pied by Unit ed States troops, their several garri- sont, 204 t’ ge names of their eommandants, is given; net only ‘fr the espesial aceommodation of those having ¢iends in the army with whom they may wish t’ » correspond, but also for the purpose of em hibit’ mg our means of defence against external as. sau! 4s or internal outbreaks. According to our despatebes, the recent storm * $d for more damage to property of évery descrip- tion ia the southern country, than any previous oc- currence of the kind, i addition to which a large number of lives have been lost. In many instances vessels, buildings, erops, bridges, &c., have been entirely destroyed, aud the water reached a greater height than ever before known. Property to the value of seventy-five thousand dollars was destroyed by an incendiary fire at Og- @ensburg yesterday forenoon. By the last advices from Mexico, Gen. Cardinas had usurped the goverversbip of the State of Tamaulipas. This act bad produced great oxcite- ment at Matemoras, and by the next arrival we may expect to hear of a battle between the ferves of ih. usurper and opponents. Hates tom Havana to the 20th ult., reseived by telegraph from Charleston, bring nothing new of a political nature. However, it is almost impos- sible to learn anything relative to Cuban affairs from the journale published on that island—they being generally restricted to the simple publication of advertisements, the markets, and such official documents as the government deems it proper to promulgate. Some interesting maritime information from Key West will be found in the telegraphie columns. In connection with other matters it is asserted that a large unknown ship was seen ashore on the rocks on the 23d ult. A couple of gentlemen, who were very anxious to risk theirlives in a duel, have been arrested, and held to bail, at Richmond, Va. Toe Woxen’s Ricuts Convention.—Tx: Last Cnance ror GrNngra. Scorr.—The ammunition is long since exhausted on both sides, by the party presses, numbering two thousand papers, from the twenty-four pounder down to the rusty musket. They have succeeded in proving both candidates C. Perry. arrived at this port about eight o’cloek yo" teréay morning, from an active and important eruise of thirty-twe days. QOvommodore Perry sailed from New York, Saturday the Sletof July, having received orders, acecmpanied by private sud particular instructions, from the President. to investigate the cireumstances attending the seizure of some of our fishing vessels by the British eruisers. The selection of Commodore Perry for this del: eate and arduous duty, aided by such officers as are at- tached to the Mississippi, was most judicious and well- timed. The cool ¢iserroment of the Commodore, com- Dined with his well-known and trie@ courage. rendered jew peculiarly fitted for the takk—a fact which is proved by the satisfactory result obtained, and also by the grat- Afying demonstrations of personal aud sational reepeet paid to him and to our flag, by all the British authoritics at every port at which he touched, Having parted from us at New York, tho Miesissippi yan up to Eastport, where she anchored on the 3d of ‘August, This ie on our own soil, and the entire popula tion tuzned out to receive her officers and erew. They were dressed as for s gala dey, and eame with bands playirg avd colors flying to weloome the defenders of the poor fixhermen’s rights, Tke same joy was manifested during her stay of three days, and at her departure ua adieu was spoken by a thousand tongues, and hundreds ef bright eyes beamed their own inspiration into the Dearts of our bardy eailors. ‘The frigate arrived at St. John, New Brunswick, on the 7th of Avgust, and wes received by @ grand salute from shore, in honor of our government. Commodore Perry was visited next day by all the British officers and func toxaries, military and ejvil, stationed or resident at the place, A most cordial invitation to go on shore was ¢x tended to the Commodore and officers of the Mississippi. by the Governor and heads of departments, Commodore Perry, accompanied by some of the officers of the Missis- sippi, went on shore next day. The Commodore was re ecived, on landing, by a fuli guard of honor seleoted from the Seventy second Higblanders—one of the most disting guished regiments im the British service. Tho me cent costume of the coldiers, and the precision of their evolutions, had a fine effect. In the evening he dined with the Governor of New Brunswick, and the officers of the Seventy second. The most harmonious feeling prevailed. Next day the Commodore, still accompanied by the officers of the frigate visited Frederickton—the seat of government—¥ here they were received by Colonel Mur- ray, the administrator of the British government at that place, with a salute of artillery, the music of a fill military band, and a guard of honor, formed by another section of the Highlanders, They were entertained at dinner, in the evening. by Colonel Murray, who com- mands the Seventy-econd, and met many distinguished British officers. Hilarity and good feeling prevailed, and the most favorable impressions were produced on both sides, On the succeeding day, Commodose P rry and officers dined with the British Provincial Secretary, and cowards, drunkards, and everything that is bad. Whatever we see now in any of these journals, in reference to the merits and demerits of the whig and democratic candidates for the Presidency, is but a re-bash of what has been said over and over again for a thousand and one times. It is all ‘flat, stale, and unprofitable,” and the only result of the nause- ous abuse on one hand, end fulsome laudations on the other, is that they have both neutralized each other, and neither amounts to anything. General Scott and General Pierce are left just where these party papers found them. The only thing of late that has occurred to dis- turb this equilibrium is the action of the Pittsburg Convention, which is admitted by the whig papers to have injuriously affected Scott, and turned the scale in favor of Pierce, in Ohio, New York, and Mas* sachusetts. The position taken by Webster and his friends—who stand aloof in cold silence, refusing to give their adhesion to the whig nominec—will, also, have a very important influence upon the result, and seems now to weigh the scale of the democratic can- didate down to the earth. In this terrible emer- gency the whigs and their organs have hit upon the expedient of enlisting the Fourriecrite Phalanx of New Jersey in favor of Scott; and Horace Greeley, who went down there on Sunday last, upon a special mission, reports to the whig politicians that all is right in that quarter. A leading Four- rierite declared he would rather have six niggers about bim than the detestable Irish, who are all going for General Piorce. Scott, it is understood, is in favor of pantalets and Fourrierite farms. This will help to counterpoise the weight of the Pitts burgh Convention and the Webster secession. But there is another movement coming ot still greater weight, and which will kick the Scott scale high in the air—the Women’s Rights Convention, about to be held at Syracuse. The representative® of all the isms will be gathered there—the women in dress coats and trowsers, and the masculine gen- der in pantalets, short frocks, and broad brimmed straw hats. We learn from a Syracuse paper, the Convention will comprise many women of groat in* tellectual ability, and of exalted moral worth—Mrs, Lucretia Mott, Mrs. Paulina W. Davis, Mrs. Al- ina G. Weld, Mrs. EO. Smith, Mrs. 5 Nichols, Mrs Swishelm, Miss A. Brown, Miss L. Stone, and many other wise women and able speakers. These beautiful creatures—especially Mrs Oakes ; Smith, who has so much bosom—will expatiate upon their rights and wrongs, and pass strong resolutions against the brutes of men who opprees them in every shape and form—denying their undoubted right to be bricklayers, masons, hod carriers, stone cutters, carpenters, blacksmiths, sailors, policemen, custom house e¢fficers, lawyers, judges, members of the Common Council, members of the State Legislature, members of Congress, President and Vice President of the United States, members of the Cabinet, offi- cers of the army, from an ensign up to the com- mander-in-chief, and insisting at the same time upon condemning us men to make nether garments and baby clothes, to nurse their own offspring, to superintend the domestic household, and see that breakfast, dinner and supper, are properly and puuc- tually prepared—in the words of the New Testa- ment, to be ‘discreet, chaete keepers at homo, good, obedient to their own husbands, that tho word of God be not blasphemed.” Having emascu- lated mavkind at large, and unsoxed themselves, they will add to their platform a resolution in favor of General Scott, because be is more in favor of Convention at Worcester, yesterday. As was anti- sipated, Attorney General Clifford was selected for the Governorship. The whigs of Philadelphia and Washington were aleo out in full feather yesterday. The procossion of the different clubs in the former city, on the eccasion of the reception of the whig members of Congrees, was undoubtedly a grand affair. Vorily, there are beginning to be lively times among the politicians They are just beginning to exhibit a Mitle of the old spirit of enthusiasm. PW Nineteen ballots for a Speaker have been had in the Mitsouri House of Representatives, and yet this body ie without a presiding officer. We elsewhere publish three acts passed during ‘the late session of Congross—one relative to the ‘xpertation of imported goods, by certain routes, dew Mexico, which is of considerable importance the mercantile community; another, providing fer the establishment of » tri-weekly mail to Vera Crus, the want of which hes long been felt; and ‘the third, making some very necessary amendments te the postego law of last year, a matter in which every body is immediately interested.

Newspapers may be trans- mitted to any part of the State in which they are publithed for half the above rates, and weekly Papers may be sent free throughout the counties where published. This is a decided improvement ‘wpen the law of last year, which contained no less Man seventy-six different rates of postage, and which it was utterly impossible for one postmaster im twenty, or any body else, to keep the run of. @ur patrons in California, Oregon, &¢., who for, women’s rights than General Pierce. The re- sistleer tide of female elequence will carry the hero of Lundy’s Lane triumphant to the White House, where it is expected he will do the ladies justice. Thisis the last card in the hands of the whigs; but it is a master trump, that will sweep everything before it, and Pierce and the democrats will find themselves so beaten, on the second of November, that they will not know where they are, and will bear to be claseed in the same catagory with those horses in a race which are set down in sporting phrase as “nowhere.” No great cause has ever yet been successful without the aid of the women—the side which they have espoused bas invariably pros- pered. The Bloomers of the Phalanx, and the Ne- tional Convention of women at Syracuse, will settle the Presidential question beyond the shadow of a doubt. Their fiat is final. The game is up. Weep, ye democrats, ye have lost the spoils. Mr. Warsu Ser Ricut.—We are requested to say that our Nicaragua correspondent is wide of the mark in his statement that Mr Robert M. Walsh, as commissioner to Nicaragua, had been guilty og unbecoming cenduct towards that government. Mr. Walsh was not accredited to Nicaragua in any on the following they were entertained at agrand dijeuner, by the Attorney General of the Province. During this time, Commodore Perry had an epportu- nity for many private interviews and consultations with the highest military, civil, and judicial authorities of the British provincial government, of which he fully availed himself. and at which our national honor was maintained. and our fishery rights not forgotten. The commanding officer, Colonel Murray, with other ofthe high British authorities visited the Mississippi next dag, in company with Commodore Perry. They were received with a salute of eight guns, taken over the vessel, and entertained at lunch. In the evening, Com. modore Perry, the officers of the Mississippi, the Gover. nor, and high attachés of the British government, at: tended a grand ball given then by the citizens of Saint John, The youth, beauty, and fashion of the place were present, and a most joyous and festive scene prevailed. ‘A supper was served up in magnificent style, and toasts were given und receive Speeches were made, and polkas and waltzes danced in every tone and style except the warlike. Some wounds were inflicted. no doubt, but of so peculiatly pleasing a character that we believe no one troubled @ doctor in consequence, some thinking to prefer a clergyman. ‘The steamer left St. John upon the 19th of August, and arrived at Halifax upom the 15th. Here she met the Briti-h man-of-war ship Cumberland, of 80 guns, bearing the fieg of Vice Admiral Sir @ F. Seymour, and also the Bricish steamer Basilisk. Salutes of pational and perronal respect were fired from the Cumberland and Mississippi, and visits of the most friendly character were interchanged between the commanders and officers. Tue next day Commodvre Perry and the officers of the Mis- sissippi dined at the private residence of Sir@ Seymour on shore, by special invitation; a large party of officers, and the moet distinguished citizens, met them at dinner, In tho mean time a long private interview took place between Commodore Perry and Bir @. F. Seymour, regard- ing the question at issue. Judging from the good feeling of the party in the evening, it must have been most ami- cable. Next day the officers of both nations were entertained at a very splendid dinner given by the Right Reverend Dr. Walsh, Roman Catholic Bishop of Nova scotia This dinner was consequent upon the consecration of a Catho- lie Bishop. anda great number of distinguished guests, among the rest the Right Reverend Archbishop Hughes, of New York were present. During the next and following days, a vast numbor of officers of the British government. civil employees, pri- vate citizens, ladies, aud mecbanics, visited the Missis- sippi, and were received with that true American urban- ity of manner for which Captain McCluney and his ofli- cers are 60 remarkable, They were taken over the ship, and went away highly pleased with all they saw. ‘The 18th of August, Commodore Perry and the officers of the Mississippi dined, by invitation, with the Colonel and officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers, the two most powerful arms of the Bridsh land forces, The distinguished hosts and their veteran guests were highly delighted with each other, and parted with re- ret e The Mississippi being always ready, ‘went to sea the morning of the 19th, and made for the Gulf of St. Law- rence On the 2ist she anchored off the Magdalen Islands, where a great many fishing vessels were board- ed.

MEETING OF THE NEW YORK CITY TEMPERANCE AL- LIANCE AT THE FIVE POINTS. The New York City Temperance Alliance have pro- cured a large tent, which they have fitted up with benches and tables, for the purpore of holding temperance meetings at dilfeyent points, where suitabie rooms can- not be obained. “She nrst of a series of meetings was held on Tuerday evening, under the tent which is pitch. ed at present in the pubic square at the Five Points, ‘At an early hour the tent was lighted, and the au- dience began to assemble.
