But in any other aspect, the gallant hero of Chippewa, Ohepuitepeo, Churubuseo, &5., &o., is evidently committing one of the most melancholy blunders that ever illustrated the wayvardness of his character, or the ambition of his hopes. It is undoubted suicide. OrxraTioxs oy THE FREE Sou Party.—We have received, during the last two or three days, several journals, just started for the purpose of ad- vocating the elaims of the free soil, or abolition democracy, as it is called, and also of supporting their candidates, Hale and Julien. One of these journals hae been commenced in Philadelphia, and appears to be conducted with a great deal of vigor. Ano- ther, just started in Syracuse, in this State, is alo presenting strong signs of vitality ; and one or two others have recently made their appearance in dif- ferent parts of the abolition latitudes. In addition to this, John P. Hale himself, taking the enue from General Scott's progress out Wost, has now placed himself on the stump, and is busy following in the wake of Old Chepultepee. The free soil papers in that region are making violent efforts .o crea excitement in his favor. The following mar » clipped from a little journal published in a litt town ef Ohio, may be taken as a specimen of the battle calls issued by the abolition press out West :-— Honan! Hurnan! he it known to all whigs, demosrats, free rollers, huvkers, auti-bunkers, aud - all the reste) mankind” in Lorain county and elsewhere, that our distinguished enudidate for President, the ilon, Jon 2.

Those who will be | £*8¢d in sowing the seeds of aboiitioniem, and ai- @xgaged will reecive valuable routes, without any ont to them ; some of them yielding from fifteen ‘te thirty and forty dollare a week. The Kews. Owing to the brevity of our telegraphic despatch- es, we are enabled to-day to publish a great variety ef leeal, polities!, and general information, which etherwise would have been crowded out in conse- quenee of the Jarge nwount of space occupied by our advertising patrous. Zhe Southern papers complain that the cetton mop hae been considerably injured by the wet wea- ‘ter, and that the yield will fall far short of what was anticipated. Rice, on the contrary, turns out better than was expected. Frem Philadelphia we have accounts of throe more railroad accidents, in one of which an engineer was killed, and in the others several psesengers were more er less injured, some of them being crippled fer life. In the way of politics, we have the announce- ment that quite a spirited controversy has sprung wp between the hard and soft shell democrats in Oncida county. In Rome the latter faction suo ceeded in electing delegates to the Congressional €Cenvention. Tne Second district Democratic Con- grersional Convention have recommended the hold- ing of a new election for delegates in the Tenth ward of Brooklyn, in consequence of the illegal @losing of the polls at the previous trial. The movements of Senator Hale and the freesoilers in Ohie, will, of course, attract attention, as will also tmueh other interesting matter, to which we have not | zeom to particularly refer. | Hon. John P. Kennedy, Secretary of the Navy, with Com. Shubrick, Chief of the Bureau of Genstruction, will probably be in this city this evering. It is understood to be their intention to pay an official virit to the Navy Yard, look after the Japan expedition, Xe. Later news is now due from both Europe and Cali- | fornia. General Scott's Progress in the West. ‘The progress of General Scott inthe West, ostensi- By to select # site for a military hospital, presents features of eloquence, blundering, folly, excitement, blustering, rain, wind, fuss and feathers, which are ‘without parallel in the history of any public man or personage, heretofore, in this country. The General # evidently committing a melanoholy suicide. The | wtrapge speechos, singular contradictions, silly igs, sud bursts of excitement, which come from ( eral Scott in these speeches, can only find a parallel { im the progress of such an emperor as Soulouque through his black dominions in Hayti, or the Presi- dent of the French republic, preceded by sausages fer bis dear soldiers in France, or the still moro extraordinary movements of the Russian Czar round his vast empire, to the confines of Siberia Mself. The General is perpetrating a positive | suicide | Almom every speech delivered by General Scott de @ curiodty in itself, from the silly speech in which he regrets the rain and the mud, down to the ex- siting speech in which he denice, and pronounces the statement “‘. lie,” that he ever executed any num- vocating his own cause, in Coluinbus, Ob will probably travel over the same ground ths! General Scott is now cultivating, coming rou gradually through Pennsylvania and New Yori, and ending in New England. The abolition or free soil party, who held their convention at Pittsburg are struggling most menfally with circumstances: adverse to their destiny. Their principles and dow trines seem to be making the most headway in those regiovs where the ground was prepsred by tos “isms” of Seward, Weed, Greeley, and demag>co of that class. Hale and his journals and advocates are denouncing both the old parties—both the pla:- forms adopted at Baltimore—and are calling on th fanatics, of all kinds, to support their cause, and go for abolition, the repeal of the Fugitive Slave law, foreign intervention, the Maine Liquor law, and a!] the isms of the day. From the zeal and spirit which they exhibit, and which at least is as strong and active as that of the whigs of the Scots and Seward stripe, it would not surprise us if they were to receive over two hundred thousand popular votes at the Presidential election next November. There votes will also probably come mostly from the old abolition whig party, organized by Seward, for that party has been peppered and prepared, and made fitto go the whole figure for the Pittsburg platform, and the ultraisms of that section. Insuch a case, General Scott, the candidate of the Seward party, has not the slightest chance of gettiag an electoral yote in Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York, Connecticut, or any of the Northwestern States. Tue American CONGRESS AND THE Britisu Hovse or Commons.— From the squabbles and por- sonal encounters which have so recently disgraced | both legislative bodies of the Congress of the United States, the people of Europe may be led to suppose that the sun of our political existence is going down, and that the union of thia republic, which has for the last seventy years stood im. movable through every political and social change, was about to be rent asunder. These émeutes are not surprising, when we reflect | that every four years this republic is the scene of a | mighty conflict for political supremacy. When the mind of almost every man throughout the land is filled with anxiety as to the result of the Presiden. tial election, it is not surprising that extraordinary excitement should oxist among members of Con- grees, who may be considered as the body-guard o, their respective chieftains. It would be unnatura if it were othorwise ; for it ie not unfrequently the case that the candidates for the Presidential chair rank among the members of Congrees some of their nearest and dearest friends, who, to save them from danger, insult, or dishonor, would willingly expose their lives and fortunes. It is to be deplored that their attachment te their leaders should ocoasional- ly lead them into personal encounters with one an- other ; but when we consider the characters, past lives and occupations of many of these reprasenta- tives, we are astonished that these meutes are of #0 | rare occurrence ; and great allowance should be ex- tended to them. ‘The majority of our members of Congross have begun life in poor and needy circumstances. Bred up in the school of adversity and hardship, among asgociations in the Far West, or Down East-who more ber of Germam, though, before he gets through with his speech, heacknowledges having hung severa persons In Mexito, besides flogging and whipping pickpockets and thieves. The spectacle presented ia one of the most uelancholy in the career of Gen Boott, that ever hasbeen exhibited. He is inflicting muicide upor his reputation, beyondadoubt. Wedo we} think that in this cmntry there oan be found any parallel to bis sayings aad doings from Pittsburg through Ohio, unless we can trace something of the same character and compleaion in the progress of ‘the celebrated Billy Bowlegs, in this city, during the last few days. In fact, we are not cer- ‘ain but that the pithy sayingsof Billy Bowlegs te the people of this great city, wherever he ‘wandered, were far more to the purpose, and showed mere siatermanship and » high order of diplo- macy, than the mire elaborate and pusrile speeches which our unhappy hero of Chippewa and Chepal- tepeo ie delivering to the groupe as he passes threugh Obio. In one respect, Billy Bowlegs is much pointedly eloquent than General Scott. When the Beminole chieftain saw the portraits of General ‘Taylor and General Scott, he recognized them, and remarked, “I licked both thesetonorals in the wars ‘ta Florida.” General Soott is puitively commit. ting micide, without a “hasty ple of soup” to the lips of General Scott in his dozen of specchts in Pennrylvanis and Ohio, that has any bearing on th. great questions of the day, or any relation to the measures and policy of the new administration, for mhich the two partion are coptending. Wo evght, more | performance by Feargus O’Conner, many scones have been acted not by any means calculated to in- crease the respect of the people of any country for frequently appeal to the god of war than the god- dess of reason for the settlement of disputes—it is not singular, when their passions are roused by what they deem to be insult or injustice, that they should for a moment forget the dignity and impor- tance of their position, and resort to those means of retaliation and defence which they have been taught to believe in carly life as legitimate and proper. The London Times, in referring to the late diffi- culty between Messra. Polk, White, and Cullum, thought fit to brand the Congross of the United States as a body of men unqualified to legislate for the people of this country. It is said that “ oom- parisons are odious;” but a reference to the history of the English Parliament will show that scenes of a similar description, if not worse, have taken place in that select assombly. Henry Brougham, now Lord Brougham, has been given the “‘lie direct ;” and, from the seizure of the mace by Oliver Cromwell, down to the late disgraceful the British Parliament. How is the English House of Commons constitut- ¢d? With but fow exceptions the members are the nominees of the aristocracy and the eldest sons of Peers, who, after a life of profligacy and vice, think sagacity We think not. The shrewd, practical, round about common sense of our members of Con- wees is infinitely superior to the polished but Protiigate elegance of those exquisites. Theymay, Porbepe, epenk better ; their periods may be more vounded, and their delivery mere grecefal thas the ‘wnetedind address snd somewhat rade eloquenes of eur representatives; but their drawling tone, their absurd secent, and their pedantic both in language and appearance, would sit with mach bet ter grace on a master of ceremonies, ora card desler ims gambling hell, than on the legislators of & mighty nation. We do not belive we shall prophesy falsely when wo predic that the Ameriean Congress will flourish im all the vigor of manhood when the British | houses of Pasliament are utterly extines and | absolutely forgotten. i Axcunisnor Hugues aND THE PRESIDENTIAL Exxcrion.—Mr. T. J. Semmes, of Louisiana, sd- dressed s letter to Archbishop Hughes, askiog bis opinion as to the daty of Catholic voters in the | coming Presidential clestion, particularly in re ference te that portion of the constitution of New Hampshire called the religious test clause, which | excludes the Roman Catholic citizens of that State | from an ¢qual participation in the privileges snd immunities enjoyed by their Protestant brethren, and whether the Catholics of the United States ought to visit their disapprobation of this bigotry upon General Pierce by voting against him because he belongs to that State. The reply of the Arch- bishop is as follows:— New Youx, September 17, 1852. Dxan Sin—I bave read through, and carefully, the letter whieh you addressed to me, under date of the ith inst . in regard to the impending election of Presi- dent of the Uvited States, and the part whieh you think the Catholic citizens of the republic ought to take ia it. The two oundidates presented are General Scvtt and General Pierse ‘The entire American people appear to be nearly equally divided in opinion as to which of these two will make the better cbief magistrate, Phis fact seems to intimate @ general opinion that the oowniry will be safe under the four years’ Presidency of eiuber. As tothe Catholics, they bave never been consulted ae to the limited choice becween these two. Tae proba bility is that, like their fel!ow citizens of other denomi nations, they will be divided—rome voting tor one csn- didate, and some for the other. Like others. they are | Woman of great bargains, visiting all the suetions, far and liable toerr in their ehoioe. But, under ail the ¢ stanees, I should prefer that, young honostly. according to his own judgment, they shonid err with ( ming ity. or (#bat is equally possible) with the me jority of their fettow citizens of ail denominations, rather than see them guarded against sneh danger of erring im their choice of Prosident by aoy ecclesiastical tn fluence, Tam sure that with your ehlightened mind and large Catholic edueation, you will appreciate the reasons on whieh this my bumbie opinion is founded, whether or not you Will agree with me in regard to its justice and expediensy Inany e reribe myself your ein +JOUN, Archbishop of New Yo Tromas J Sianres, Key. Archbishop Hughes takes the proper and digni fied view of the question presented to him. Iihe was in Ireland, or any other part of Europe, he would probably take a very difforont view. But here he looks at the matter in the light of the coa- stitution, the light of American freedom, civil and religions, and the public opmion created by that freedom threughout this glorious republic. The Archbishop, therefore, takes the wise and judiciou= view of the matter, for an American atmosphere We, therefore, approve the course of our venerable and beloved Prelate, and that is something in the way of comfort and repose, in this bad world and sinfal age. CoMMENCEMENT OF THE Fasti0naBLE SEAsoN.— To-day initiates the new era of fashion, taste, maz nificence and art, of which Madame Sontag is to bo fora season at least, the queen. Last week, tl milliners and modistes, it seems, opened their show rooms and introduced the new fashions, which arc said to surpass in splendor, elegance and extrays gance those of former years. From this fact, av judging from the appearance of the ball at the r hearsal given by Madame Sontag on Saturday, w have no doubt that we will now have, in tho na tural way, one of the greatest musical furores ev: fashionable cxeitements ever witnessed in this me_ trepolis. It will be, too, one of a healthy and ing character, not started or set in motion or in fluted by anything of the style of charlatanisu which accompanied Jenny Lind’s career in thi- country, underthe management of that prince of char. Istans, P. T. B. Madame Sontag is one of the greatest of living artistes—of this there can be no question— that ever visited us. Madame Malibran, when her.» was young, unknown, and to a certain extent, un finished in her art; but this cannot be said of Madsme Sontag, whose fame and reputation are an accomplished fact in the musical annals of the world. Not even Jenny Lind can present such high qualifications of the purest character of talent and genius as Mademe Sontag. Ladies, prepare for something truly marvellous to-night. Inrontant Missions TO THE East.—Again the Japan expedition is brought forward by the authori- ties at Washington, and this time it would appear that there really is some intention of prosecuting it. Three steamships—the Mississippi, the Princeton, and the Alleghany—are te compose the vessels of the expedition, which is to be under the command of Commodore Perry, and is to take its departure to the Japanese seas in the early part of November, to join the squadron already cruising in those seas Of course the mission will be, if at all practicable, an amicable one, and we learn that the Governor General of Dutch India has received instractious from his government to direct the Dutch Com mandant in Japan to give every facility in his power to the American expedition. A surveying and exploring expedition, of which the Vincennes is to be the flag ship, is also about to proceed to the Chinere ceas, under the command of Commander “Ringgold ; and besides, the Hon. Humphrey Mar- shall is now here, making preparations to start on a new mission to China, These are al] parts of the same grand whole, to initiate the establishment of some new and impor tant movement of trade, commerce, policy, civiliza- tion and Christianity in China, Japan, and the Eastern seas, having for its ultimate object the ex- tension of this great American influence into the con- tinent of Asia. We hope the expedition will be prosecuted in such a manner'as will conduce to the attainment of the objects in view, and redound to the honor, glory and profit of the United States. Tue Tuxatres.—The preeent is « season of theatrical competition, which has never before occurred im this city. ‘There are seven theatres, the managers of which are uring every means to procure talent of the first order. The Bowery, Broadway, Niblo’s, Burton's, National, Ly- ceum, and New York theatres present programmes of great varlety. We refer our readers to the advertise- ments for partioulars. The frst concert of Madame Som teg comes off this evening, and the usual amusements will be given at the Museum, Christy’s Opera House, Wood's Minstrels, and White's Varieties.

Beteey walked up smiling. and addressed the magietrate, in somewhat ofa Yaukee accent, as follows:— nie morning.

This 1 considered a ‘in, and I bid onthe next watch, which was going at $9 8734; 1 bid the other shilling, and it was knocked down to me for $10. I paid the money and took the watch, and was about leaving the store, whenthe man who purchased the watch just before me came into the store, and said to the auctioneer, “Here, I won't take this watch; it ‘tis’nt gold; give me my money back agsin. Well. said 1 to the auctioneer, watoh looks like this, (referring to the man’s watch,) and I wan't mine changed also, A man then spoke to me, and said ie Madame, I am a watchmaker, ‘ou have purchared- is nothing ‘am a judge of the article. you had better buy another one.” Taking his advice, [returned back the waich and purchased another at auction. knocked down to me for $45. 1 then bid oma chain, which was knocked down to me for $15. man who gave me the advice charged me one dollar; and the money paid for the watch and chain made in wi $61. I paid for this watch and~| chain, (exhibiting a watch and cuain to the Justice. parently worth about $20, the cases of the watch cont ing too much gold te be called a silver watch, and too much filver vo be correctly denominated a gold watch ) After I bougbt the watch they asked me when I was go- ing out of town; and I told toem I was to have gone the night before, but that I should leave thisafternoon, The auctioneer then told me that as the watch was a valuable one Thad better not wear it in the city, as some rogacs might watch me about, eccing I was tromthe country, and steal it from me. They also advived me not, upon any account, to show it (0 any watchmakers as they would break rometbing and then charge me for the re- pairing. ‘The auctioneer then put the watch up in a “warch box,” and I carried it off in my hands. | thought, after I left the store, that it lo suspicious they ihey should tell me not to exhibit it to a watchma- ker, and as soon #s I could, [ gotan acquaintance to take it toa watchmaker in Brosdway, ani he was infermed that the waten was not worth more than $20 or $25.

The magistrate informed Betsey, that he would do his best to make the dishonest auctioneers refund the money, Accordingly, officer Burley took the matter in band, Mrs. Brown accompanied the officer to the auction shop, and there they saw the same suctioncer, who knew full well the object of their visit. A compromise was en- teredinto The $61 was refunded, and Mrs, Brown was opee more in the possession of her funds. and went off se oleing. «1 Viol Issault with a Knife.—Officer Isnaca, of the Fifth ward. between three and four o'clock on Sunday morning. arrested a Frenchman, named Alexander Akasal- bap, ona charge of violently avsauliing 9 man named Terrence Donnelly. residing in Third avenue, near Iweaty- third street. with a dirk knifo, inflicting a dangerous wound in the shoulder, with an intent to kill, as set forth in the complaint of Donnelly. It seems that » difficulty occur. red in » house in the Fifth and Akasalban was turn- ed out into the streets, and, as the prisoner asserts, was struck by Donnelly, and in self-defence was compelled to use the knife. The aceuved, when brought before the po- lice magistrate at the Tombs, stated, on his examination, that he was by trade a lace weaver. and worked at Newark, New Jervey. The magistrate required the p:isoner to find bail in the sum of $1,000 to answer the onarge, in default of which he was commited to the Tombs for trial. Disturbarice at the Ferry~On Saturday # disturbance took place at the ferry foot of Twenty-third street, be- tween several men who had met there in a funeral proces- sion. It seems that two funerals met at the fe about the tame time. and a diypute arose as to who should pass over the ferry firet, and from words they soon got to blows. The police were cailed to the spot, who sucoved- ed in capturing five of thedisturbers of the public peace. Their names are Robert Baker, James Leonard, Patrick Cullen, James Riley, and Michael Fagan. They were all condueted before Justice Stuart, who held them to bail in the sum of $200 each for their future good conduct.

After reveral days of great buoyancy and activity in the stock market, a reaction has been realized. At the first board yesterday, a decline in nearly every fancy on the jist took place, with unusually large transactions. This, however may be only temporary, and probably is the re- sult of a too rapid rise. The effect will, without doubt, be favorable, as it will epable the bears to take in some of their shorts, and give them more strength to bear the market when prices are more inflated. The buils are by no means desirous of the bears reducing their short con, tracts, as they look to that source for a demand to keep the market active. With all the activity and specnia- tion in the stock market during the past six months, prices generally do not rule high. Tho leadiag tancles are all considerably below prices current within the past twelve monthe, and the margin for an improvement has been increased, rather than diminished, Holders appear to be perfectly aware of this fact, and are by no means anxious to realize, The prospect is certainly very flatter- ing. As the reason advances and business slacks up, money will probably be easter, and the rate of interest fell off. The demand upon the banks for discounts, from the mercantile classes, will become less as winter ap- Proacher, and operaters in the stock market will be able to negotiate loans upon more favorableterms. This may give an impetus to speculation; and if the bulls can get the bears largely extended on time contracts, they may manage to inflate prices considerably. The movement in fancy stocks is confined almost entirely to speculators in the street. Outsiders are exceedingly cautions; and those who have nerve enough to operate, do so only to a mode- rate extent, The brokers have the gime entirely in their own hands, and the big houses are pretty well divided in the contest. The leading firms are all mixed up in the fancies; some are beara on two or three stocks, and bulls im as many others, There is no decided action among hem, and they are operating more in reference to the merits or demerits of certain fancies, than upon any fu- ture movement calculated to affect, favorably or unfavor- ably, the state of the stock market generally. The cloth and clothing trade of this city has become a very important branch of business. The number of deal- ers is not very great, but they employ a large amount of capital, For the purpose of providing facilities for those ergaged in the trade, and for the rapid increase in this department of business, some of the leading houses are about starting a bank, with a capital of five hundred thousand dollars, to be ealled the Clothiers’ Manufactnr- ing Bank.
