Poon GaxTieman—Rareine ‘NG PerroRMAnoes 1” The News. ‘The arrival of the steamship Humboldt at this pert, yesterday, enables us to lay before our readers this morning four days later news from Europe. ‘There is in it, however, not much matter of special importance, although the details are interesting ‘The crops look better— cotton steady--political affair, fn statu quo ante bellum—France all mug and tight— Leuis Napoleon, the great hero of the coup d’vtat, preparing for a grand porsenal tour of the depart- ments The ebolera had somewhat abatod on the Continent. Three weeks later news from Australia— gold still abundant. And thus, while the old world ‘wage on, under Louis Napoleon’s restoration of law and order, the new world of the Antipodes is marchirg onward in the new developement of a eivilization, emigration and eommeree, the like of which the earth has never seen. Read the news. The telegraph has supplied us with the returns of the election which took place in Maine yesterday, wo far asreseived up to alate hour last night I: will be seen that of the four candidates for Governor, Jobn Hubbard, the democratic nominee, is pro- bably defeated, although this is not by any menus eortain. We observe that the telegraphic reporters have not taken the trouble to forward the vote given for Neal Dow, the author of the noterious Nquer law. His supporters are supposed to have been so scarce that they deemed it proper to place them among the “scattering.” The whigs appear te ‘have gained four or five members in the towor branch of the Legislature, but not enough to ensure ampajority. Three whigs and two democrats, ac, eerding to present appearances, have been elected to Congress, with one district to hear from. Asa matter of course, the above is but a mere epitome ef the despatch—the full returns may completely ehange the whole complexion of this. The poli- ties of Maine have been so cut up, mixed in and stirred around by local, temperance and anti-tempe- rance issues, that little can be gathered from this elestion coneerning the probable result of the com- ing national controversy. Accoording to the despatch from Montgomery, Ala., it is probable that the Southern Rights Con- vention, whica convened there yesterday, will no- minate Gov. Quitman, of Mississippi, for the Presi- dency. This will place six candidates in the field, viz:—One democrat, Pierce; two whigs, Scott and Webster; two free soilers, Hale and Goodell, and ene Southern rights man, Quitman. What a curi- ous race these entrics will make. They have something like brisk times among the Politicians in Baltimore; the exeitement there goee abead of anything we have yet experienced in this city. Both the whigs and democrats of that place are reported to have held tremendous mass meetings last night, at which the enthusiasm was raised to the highest notch, through the instrumen- tality of an abundance of transparencies, plenty of music, several lively speakers, &c. These articles are most invaluable auxiliaries in attracting a crowd. Why do not some of our sluggish politicians try them! Cassiue M. Clay is reported to be canvassing Ken- tucky in behalf of Hale and Julian. We present to our readers a condensed report of afree soil meeting held in this city yesterday af- ternoon As regards preparation, spirit, or any prospect of influential result, it was a complete failure. Lake Erie was again visited by a severe gale on Saturday night and Sunday morning, in the eourse of which two brige and the steam propeller James Woods were driven ashore. The latter vessel was loaded with eight hundred barrels of flour, all of which was swept overboard. No other disasters have as yet been heard of. Two more bodies of those who were lost by the sinking of the Atlantie in Lake Erie were washed ashore yesterday. Owing to the unfavorable wea. ther nothing farther has been done towards raising the wreck of the steamer. When itis brought to the surface it will not be surprising to find the re- maine of mary victims on board who have not yet been accounted for. Yesterday being the anniversary of the battle of North Point, there was a general turn-out of the military in the vicinity of Baltimore. The German Turner ascociations, now gathered there, also took part in the celebracien, and went through with their curious exercises. Unfortunately, there wer severa) fights among the firemen in the course of the day, in one of which a member of one of the com- panies was shot ond so severely injured that his life is deepaired of We are eorry to loarn that two ofethe active friends of the Maine Liquor Law were violently as- saulted in their own houses, at Worcester, Mass , on Saturday night. This isto be deplored by all hon orable persons who disapprove of the stringent and unnecessary features of this obnoxious law. Let the issue be fairly met, and there is no doubt bat that the sober second thought of the people wil] cause its repeal in much less time than was con- sumed by ite advoeates in having it enacted. The report of the Committee on the Communica- tion of the Comptroller, on assessments for 1852, was read at the Board of Supervisors last evening. As it is a very important document, and worthy the perusal ofevery tax-payer, we shall publish it in full to-morrow. It gives a startling account ef the excess of expenditure in various dopartments, and of the advanced rate of taxation whilst the resources and taxable preperty of tho city have increased. ‘The excess of expenditures over the appropriation provided by law, appears to be $587,000, which, with the amount ef levy of the present year, will make an aggregate of $3,965,336 70, for all of which, had the tax been laid, the rate would have been one dollar twolve cente and seven mills per $100, instead of the rate now levied. It also appears that for county eontingencics $120,000 have been appropriated, $35,558 05 oe, which have been expended ; and that under this head is included # payment of 11,252 11 toward the expense of $16,086 14, incurred for tho eater- tainment of Louis Kossuth and his associates. ‘The conimittee very properly remark thet the appli- cation of moneys frem the sity treasury to the ex- penses of this and ether ‘“‘ entertainments,” which of late years have beom made, under the idea of ex- tending city hospitalities amd demonstrations of respect, are utterly unlawful; and that however commendable the feelings which prompt such mani- Sevtations may be, the use of the funds drawn by ‘taxation trom the people, for other purposes, cannot de justified. ‘The committee deserve the highest commendation from every citizen for their endeaver te reduce the taxation, as well as for the very bold and fearless manner in whieh the “ goings en” have been exposed. In the Board of Aldermen, yesterday, a sharp personal discussion arose between Aldermen Den- man and Bturtevant, as to a matter ef personal in- sult. The Board are taking steps to expose to the publie the state of rowdyiem existing among the firemen during the recent riot, by printing the re of the committee thereon. In the Board of ‘Assistants no debates of any moment transpired. Our columns, as usual, contain several telegraphic despatohes, and much other interesting matter, to which we have neither time nor reom to specially refer. Indeed, our pages are already so crowded with news and advertisements that we are obliged to omit a great amount of local and miscellancous reading prepared for this day’s paper. The Woman’s Rights Convention—The Last Act of the Drama. The farec at Syracuse has been played out. We publish, to-day, the last act, in which it will be seen that the suthority of the Bible, as & perfeet rule of faith and practiee for human beings, was voted down; and what are called the laws of nature set up instead of the Caris- tian code. We have also a practical exhibition of the consequences that flow from woman leay- {og her true sphere where sho wields all her influ- enee, and coming into public to discuss questions of morals and politics with mea. The scene in which Rev. Mr. Hateh violated the decorum of his eloth, and was coarsely offensive to such ladies pre- sent as had not lost that modest ‘feminine ele- ment,” on which he dwelt so forcibly, is the natural result of the conduct of the women themselves, who, in the first place, invited discussion about sexes, and in the second place so broadly defined the dif- ference between the male and the female ag to be suggestive of anything but purity tothe audienco The women of the eonvention have no right to eom- plain ; but for the sake of bis clerical character, if no other motive influenced him, he ought not to have followed #0 bad an example. His speech wassound, and his argument conclusive, but his form of words was not in the best taste. The female orators were the aggressors ; but, to uso his own language, he ought not to have measured swords with a wo- man, especially when he regarded her ideas and ex- pressions as bordering upon the obscene. But all this is the natural result of woman placing herself in a false position. As Rev. Mr. Hatch obzerved, if she ran with horses, she must expect to be hbetted upon. The whele tendency of these eonves- tions is by no means to inereage the influence of woman, to elevate her condition, or to command the respect of the pthersex. It is quite the reverse. We do not wonder that, after what has taken placa, they should shun the light of New York city, and retreat to the obscurity of Cleveland for their next gathering. Who are these women?—what do they want?— what are the motives that impel them to this course of action? The dramatis persona of the farce enacted at Syracuse, present a curious conglomeration of both sexes; some of them are old maids, whose personal charms were never very attractive, and who have been sadly slighted by the masculiae gen- der in genera] ; some of them women who have been badly mated, whose own temper, or their hus- bands, has made life anything but agreeable to them, and they are therefore down upon the whole of the opposite sex ; some having s0 much of the virago in their disposition, that natare ap- pears to have madea mistake in their gender— mannish women like hens that erow; some of boundlees vanity and egotism, who believe that they are superior in intellectual ability to “all the world and the res! of mankind,” and delight te see their speeches and addresses in print; some silly little girls, of from fifteen to twenty, who are tickled to death with the idea of being onoday a great orator, a lawyer, a doctor, a member of Con- grass, a general in the army, perhaps President of the United States—and some who do not like to work for a living, or to perform the duties of the domestic circle, but to spend their time in talking and gossipping, and longing for a millennium of idleness, when, without any effort of their owa, they shall ‘eat, drink, and be merry,” “be clothed in purple and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every day,” reigning as queens and potentates all of which shall be but a realization of their rights; and man shall be consigned to his proper sphere, nursing the babies, washing the dishes, mending stockings, and sweepimg the house. This is “the good time coming.” Besides the classes we have enumerated, there is aclass of wild enthusiasts and visionaries—very sincere, but very mad—having the same vein as the fanatical abolitionists, and the majority, if not all of them, being, in point of fact, deeply imbued with the anti slavery seatimont Of the male sex who at end these conventions. for the purpose of taking a part in them, the ms- jority are hen-pecked husbands, and all of them ought to wear petticoats. In point of ability, the majority of the women are flimsy, flippant, and superficial. I¢ Lucretia Mott, Mrs. Oakes Smith, Mrs. Pau- lina Davis, Lucy Stone, and Mrs. Rose, particu larly the latter, are exceptions, they but confirm the rule. Even of these Mrs Rose alone indicates much argumentative power; and in reading Mrs. Oakes Smith’s book, of which so much has been said, and which the Westminster Review pronounces the ablest work that has beon written on the subject, (a0 great praise after all,) we are wholly at a loss to discover anything beyond smartness, and gracefil- ness of style, with much that is labored, and smacks of affectation. While it contains a great deal of truth that is notnew, in reference to premature mar- riages and other topics, it carefully avoids all close reasoning upon the real points at issue. In fact, it surrenders the main point contended for at the late convention—the physical and mental equality of woman as the basis of her political equality. Miss Lucy Stone and others contended that there was no difference, physically or mentally, between the sexes, except the bare fact of gender. Mrs. Smith knows better, and accordingly she did not venture to commit herself to that doctrine in her book. In one short sentence we can answer all that has been said for the three days at this Convention, and at all other Conventions :—If it be true that the female sex are equal to the male in point of physical strength and mental power, how is it that from the beginning of the world to the present time, in all ages, in all couftries and climes, in every variety of the human species, the male has been predominant, and the female subject, politically, socially, and in the family cir- cle? In no other nation or tribe was woman ever #0 honored ae she is in the United States. If the female sex was ever equal to the male, there would be some record left in history of the women chang- ing places with the men in the work of legislation, and those other objects and pursuits of life that re- quire superior force of body and mind. How did woman first become subject to man as she now is all over the world? By her nature—her sex— just as the negro is and always will be, to the end of time, inferior to the white race, and, therefore, doomed to subjection ; but happier than she would be in any other condition, just because it is the law of her nature. The women themselves would not have thislaw reversed. Itis a significant fast, that even Mrs. Swishelm, who formerly ran about to all such gatherings from her husband, is new “a keeper at home,” and condemas these conventions in her paper. How does this happen? Because, after weary yoars of unfruitfulness, she has at longth got her rights in the shape of a baby. This is the best oure for the mania, and we would recommenda trial of it to all who are afflicted. We are well aware that women of great vigor of mind, and some of immense power ef body, have arisen from time to time, while men of weak intel- Soot and mean bodfly strength are pumerows enough. But individual cases Bothing—it is the pre- vailing characteristics ef the great mavs of cach that must determine the relative positions of both. Accordingly the very laws of nature, which the We man’s Righte Convention profess te respect, ag well as the Bible, whose authority they scout, settle the question for ever. While man has strength woman has besuty of body and mind, and tho result of the union is har- mony. In her moral qualities, and in the acutencss of her perce tions, woman is superior to man ; but in the high intellectual endowments, and in the at- tributes of physical power, she is inferior, and hence her domestic, social, and political subor dination, and hence also the impossibility ot ever accomplishing what Mrs. Oakes Smith, in her apeech on the first day of the convention, avowed to be the object and aim of this movement, “an entire subversion of the existing order of society, 2 | dissolution of the whole existing social compact.” What do the leaders of the Woman's Rights Con- vention want? They want to vote, and to hustle with the rowdies at the polls. They want to be members of Congress, and in the heat of debate to subject themselves to coarse jeste and indecent lan- guage, like that of Rev. Mr. Hatch. They want to fill all other posts which men are ambitious to occupy—to be lawyers, doctors, eaptains of vessels, and generals in the field. How funny it would sound in the newspaper, that Lusy Stone pleading & cause took suddenly ill in the pains of partu rition, and perhaps gave birth to a fine bouncing boy in court! Or that Rev. Antoinette Browo was arrested in the middle of her sermon in the pulpit from the same cause, and presented 2 ‘* pledge” to her husband and the congregation ; or, that Dr. Harriet K. Hunt, while attending s gentleman patient for a fit of the gout or fistula in ano, found it vecessary to send for a doctor, there and than and to be delivered of a man or womun ehild—per- hapstwins. A similar event might happen on the floor of Congress—in a storm at sea—or ia the raging tempest of battle, and then what was to b». come of the woman legislator, the female captain f the ship, or the female genera! of the army. The bare idea is ludicrous beyond measure It is worthy of remark, that the women’s rights folks complain that they find women more inimiasi te their pretensions than men. It is no wonder that all true, dircreet, sensible women, would fel that their sex is turned into ridicule by suoh folly, and tha: they evince their bostility to it in every shape andform. It isthe natural offspring of the silly socialist and abolition doctrines that have agi tated this country for # number ef years; and wo find that the same men and the same women, io- eluding Lloyd Garrison, Rev. W. H. Channing, Rey Mr. May, Gerrit Smith, the Joneses, Lucy Stone, Horace Greeley and Lucretia Mott, that have been actively engaged in those agitations, are equally busy in this. What a pass are we brought to at last ! MANAGEMENT OF THB PREsSs—PHILOSOPHY oF Purrinc.—The management of the public press is asintricate a piece of business as any mechanical invention that was ever patented under the laws of Congress. It is a difficult matter to comprohend fully the duties assigned to the various springs, and cranks, and wheels ofeteam machinery. The work- ing of the electric telegraph would puzzle and be- wilder any ordinary uninitiated person, and equally difficult it is to understand the working of carding machinery, and many other pieces of mechanism of the day; but yet there are many individuals in the world, not numbering by thousands, who in a gene ral way, understand all these things with a certaio degree of accuracy. But we believe the machinery of the newspaper press is One of the greatest enig- mas of the present age of civilization. Every one supposes that he himself is perfectly acquajnted with all its intricacies and movements; but yot fewer persons have any real comprehension of it than that of any of the other pieces of material or intellectual machinery of the age We receive every day numerous proofs of the ge neral ignorance and misconception which prevails in the community on this subject. It seems to be less understood, and more beyond the reach of ordinary comprehension, than the Apocalypse itself. Weare tempted to refer specially to an inatance which oc- curred yesterday, strongly illustrative of the barba rous notions entertained by outsiders respecting the mechanism of the daily press. It is a letter containing a very polite request that we would give a commendatory notice of a very handsome, deserv ing young artiste at Niblo’s, for the weighty con: sideration of five dollars. The letter is amusing and instructive, and we publish it for the benefit of all whom it may concern. Here it is:— New Yorx, Monday, Sept 13th, 1852. James Gorvow Brsnetr. Esq., New York. Dear Sir:—The immense reputation of your estimable paper has encouraged me to tell you that you wou'd con- fer a great favor on me, if you would be kind enough to insert in it a few lines, which will be. no doubt. of great effect to the person in favor of whom they will be written. Tam speaking of Miss Drouet, one of the French dan- seuses performing now at Niblo’s Garden. That young lady is a great friend of mine, and I bave always felt a pe culiar interest in her, on account of the misfortune of her family. Tam French myrelf; have seen her dance in Paris, Bor. deaux. and different other cities. I consider myself as & connoisseur in the art. I can assure you that I felt aston ished that American people. who are so fond of dancing. have not appreciaed her enough. and that, very likely, on account of her not showing so much as her companions. It is the reason why I thought of you, whose paper is #0 wuch spread all over, that an articlé of yoursis worth any Tecommendation. Miss Drouet is going to dance a new step to-morrow night inthe * Barbier de Siviglia.” Would you be so kind as to say a few wo ds before and after. in your article theatrical. She would certainly feel proud’ of it. and grateful at the same time. I woald send you an article iyrelf, but you write too well forme to send any thing to you. Allow me to enclose herewith five dollars, to cover your expenses; if not sufficient. please address E. C,, Post office, and Iwill catisfy you. Iam, dear sir, yours very truly, B. CARDUAN, Accompanying this communication was aslip of tissue paper, engraved as follows:— EEE EERE EERE RIE Ps i. he “, 4 ‘ » y ba 4 % Bla i e | i 2 mM os Pa | ¥ Be af § a J é ai _——— on 8 p me Fy z 2 3 Soa af f Ai ¢ oy | feet 5 8 : a2 a : ste = bak < = a a cat 1,5 E % = F ska f M2 & « s : > wa Gi g 6 Eg 3 2 *. sil J.

If we wore to doit at all, we would fix our price at five hundred or five thousand Collars. And, as a matter of dollars and cents, a Betice money. But we never adopt this principle im judg- ing of the merite or demerits of an artiste. Our | epivions and our eriticisms are founded on her own deserts alone. We have before spoken very favor- ably of the young lady s0 prominently introduced jn this matter, and we take pleasure in here repeat- ing that Mile. Drouct is » graceful danseuse, a highly accomplished artiste, and s deucedly hand- some and bewitching woman. Her performances at Niblo’s entitle her to rank among the foremost o her profession, and have gained for her a high de- gree of popularity among the habitues of that theatre. So much we are happy to testify in favor of Mile- Drouet, as our own uninfluenced opinion. The five dollars we have received we shall add to a like sum, which has come to us from another source, and shall appropriate to some lying-in hospital, or other charitable institution. Probably the Sunday pa- pers would have no objection to pocket moneys 50 reeeived, but as we are not paupers, like a great many of our cotemporaries, we want nothing of the kind. But we shall estimate the value of this our edi- torial testimony in favor of Mlle. Drouet at the lowest figure, namely, $500, which we request Mr. Carduan to remit to us—deducting the $5 already received—as we intend adding it to our other similar contributions #@r the benefit of unfortunate and de- serving objects. We are determined, with this fand, to eclipse Barnum and Jenny Lind—but par- ticularly Barnum—in the munificence of our charita- ble operations. Se let Mr Carduan forwérd to us a check for $495, the balanee due to us, as soon as possible He and Mile. Drouet’s other ad- mirers can well afford to subseribe sums to that amount, to be devoted to such philanthropic pur- poses in this city. We shall give the charitable in- stitutions due notification of its receipt when it comes to hand, and, in the mean time, for the truth of our observations with respect to Mlle. Drouet, we refer the publie to that young lady horself, at Niblo’s theatre. Tre JAPAN ExpPepiTion Nor ABANDONED.—We are privately informed from Washington, that as soon as Commodore Perry shall have enlightened the President fully concerning the real state of things at tke fishing grounds, including those balls and parties at Halifax and other places, he will re- sume active preparations for the expedition to Japan. We are glad to hear it—glad that the proposed hy- drographic survey of Japan is not turned over tothe Dutch—glad that the heathen of thoseislands are not tobe abandoned. In these days, nothing but bomb- shel]sand bayonets will reclaim the pagansof Japan. Let the gallant Co-:amodore hurry up the good work. Brethren, let us pray. The Australian Emigration from New York —Departure of the Ship Ocean Eagle. The fine ship Oceam Eagle, Capt. Somes, with a large number of passengers for Australia, was towed to sea from ber berth in the East river yesterday. This is the third ‘vessel of Messrs, Ogden and Camerén’s Pioneer Line that bas left this port filled with emigrants for Australia since the 2d of July, and the eighth that has left this port since the news of the discovery of gold there reached us. The sgents of this line, in their intermal arrangements, have been astiduous to ameliorate. as far as lay in their power, the disagreeables attendant upon a long sea yoyage, by rendering the quarters of the passengers as light, airy, and commodious as the limits of good roomy vessels will allow, and have also directed special attention to the quality as well as quantity of the passengers’ food, If the profusion spread over the board yesterday be a fair sample of the kind to be daily furnished, there will be no likelihood of complaints on that soore. ‘The number of passengers taken out by the Ocean Eagle amounted to about two hundred, and the list would have been much larger if the owners had been willing to pay lese regard to the comfort of the voyagerg. The passen- eet! appeared to be composed mostly of respectable me- chanics and clerks, seme being accompanied with their wives and children. The majority, however, were ap- parently single young men, full of life, and buoyant with the prospect of making rapid fortunes in the new land of their hopes, The Aus'ralian fever appears to be daily gaining strength. and it is anticipated there will be a greatly in- creased demand for passage as soon as the harvest is closed, both from the States and Canada. A ship owner engaged in the business, received. in one day last week, some twenty letters from people in all parts of the coun- try, asking information as to the best means of getting there, many of whom will probably, ina few days, be on their way there. ‘The Ocean Esgie will be followed. before the present week expires, by another fine ship from this port—the Ascutna—now lying st pler No. 10, E. R., being adver- tised to leave on the 17th. This vessel is commanded by Capt Peps er. late of the bark Isla de Cuba, and is owned by Mr W 1. Dogan & Co. She, like her predecessor, is ‘fine strong vessel, of about 900 tons burthen, and has ry fine accommodations for passengers. The berths comprise two ranges. one on each side of the vessel. and runaing from stem to stern. leaving a wide space in the centre clear of tunpediments to locomotion or ventilation, the only divirions being locse curtains, which can be drawn up oriet downat pleasure. This arrangement. to- | ereed with several stern lights. and wind-ssils at the atchways, affords a free, untnterrupted circulation of air tbreughout the vessel, which is a great consideration im warm latitudes. There are accommodations here for 140 passengers. though the law allows 180. There are also accommodations in the poop cabin for forty first class paerengers The Ascutna will no doubt leave with a full passenger list, many of the berths having been engaged some time back We would urgently advise strangers to the city, who arrive here to take passage either to Australia or any other place. not to enter into negotiations with parties in the street, and generally to be foundin the vicinity of the shipping. There men. commonly cailed “ runners,”” are always on the look out for strangers wishing to en- gage puseage. They have no legitimate interest in any Yersel. and are @ source of muchannoyance to both pas: fengers and shipowners. Their only object is to get so much per head, from the owners of the vessels. for every passenger they bring them. and it is perfectly immate- 1 Tiel to them whether their victims go to sea in atub ors firet class «bip, so long as they get their per centage They work haraest for the highest bidder, and any ower of a worthless worn-out old ship can command their services. and i wrefore, behooves intending emigrants to avoid them.’ ‘The right method, if the oburacter of a is to go to any marine insurance office in the city, where a regular classification of vessels is al- ways kept. and all further information as to passage fue, &c.. can always be obtained et the offices of the author- ized agents, As it is possible partie enovgh to fit out unseaworthy vessel paseage increases, it is doubly necessary that the caution should be exercised. and by pursuing the course above recommended, much risk and probable danger may be avoided. Police Intelligence. Arrest on Suspicion of Murder in Orange Caunty.—Officer McCord. of the Fifth ward police, yesterday afternoon. aarested four men pamed Patrick Kelly, James MeDon- ald, Martin Hart, avd John Mullins, on suspicion of having been concerned in the murder of a Mr. Mead. a resident of the town of Monroe, Orange county, this State. near the Erie railroad. It seoms that the prisoners are laborers on the railroad. and sre supposnd to be con- cerned in the murder. Mr, Mead was not the man intend- ed to be beaten. but was mistaken for the man whom they intended to way-lay. The prisoners were seen to take the railroad in a secret manner. and were followed to this city by a man nemed William Lawrence. who gave the neces- ¢ary information to the police of this city, thereby caus- ing their arrest. The accused parties were conveyed be- fore Justice Osborn, who bas detained them in the Tombs until further advices from the scene of the murder.

The police of the Twentieth Ward were called to the spot, and Assistant Captain Seigler. and officers Fragch and McCabe made an arrest of some of the ringleaders, when they were violent- ly aseaulted.
