The heavy rain etorm, which commenced on Fri- | day evening, and has continued without cessation up te the hour of sending this sheet to press, had the effect of almost entirely susponding maritime and telegraphic operations yesterday, and likewise materially interfered with all out-door business. | By referring to the shipping intelligence, it will be observed that very few vessels came into port, and mo vessels are reported as having sailed. Among the number detained till this morning are five steamships. Some of the telegraphic lines managed to werk, at intervals, during the day, but the amount of news received by them, though interest- ing, was extremely meagre. A safficient number of Senators had arrived in Washington yesterday to form a querum, and there Were nearly enough members prosent to also form ene in the House—consequently both houses will be prepared for business, and the President’s message | j will not be precluded from reversing that vote at | will undoubtedly be sent in to: morrow. Hon. W. R. King is in good health and on his | way to Washington. So says a despatch from Wil- | mington, N.C. From &t. Louis, we have the brief announcement that the steamboat Geneva, plying as a packet be | tween that city and Keokuk, lowa, burst her boilers on Friday nigh?, and that several persons were either | killed or mortally wounded—among them the captain | of the boat. The occurrence, as is frequently the | ease when boilers have a powerful head of steam on, took place while the boat was receiving wood from the shore. Too many engineers, especially those ranning on western waters, are in the habit of hold- | ing on to their steam at every stoppage, in order | that, by the additional force gathered, they may | make up for lost time. They often ovor-estimate | the strongth of their boilers, and thereby not only deal death and destruction to themselves and their vessels, but aleo to the hundreds of human beings, whose lives, for the time being, have been especially committed to their keeping. We hope soon to see the new steamboat law fully brought to bear in cases of this kind. | The Britieh ship John S. De Wolfe reeently went ashore on Black Beard Island, near larien, Ga., and will prove a total loss. No lives wore lost. Rio Janeiro dates to the 2ith of October were re- @cived at Baltimore, yesterday, by the bark Rebekah. | Business was generally steady, and produce firm; | and the health of the place was goed.

It is pleating to thusobserve that theVirginians | ri are at last areusing from their lethargy, and fully preparing to enter inte commercial competition, in- | ternally and externally, with their hitherto more | enterprising brethren. Well, this is the age of pro- | gress. Politics are again verging towards fever heat in Boston. As usual, of late years, there are throe eandidates in the field for Mayor.

SERRE A ConrEstTeD Skat ix Tus Uniren States Se- ware.—After the death of Mr. Clay, Governor Pow- ell of Kentucky appointed David Merriwoather, » democrat, to fill the vacancy. Mr. Clay time of the commencement of his inst illness, re- signed his seat in the Senate, which was to jtake effect on the first of September ; and the Logisiature have elected Mr. Archibald Dixon, whig, to @1! up the term. Mr. Merriweather intends to retein bis Meat, and contends that a new vote of the Legisla- Bure is necessary to give Mr, Dixon the place, as he ‘Was elected to Ail the vacancy in consequence of Mr. | May's resignation, not of his death.

Never have they eppeared zo helpless, and so lost to a sense of their | own dignity. If there was a man in England whose | conduct on the free trade measures might, one would have fancied, have boen safely predicted, | that man was the eloquent nobleman who, as Lord Stanley, had risem to the first rank in his party, and had refused to follow a leader whom he vencrated, in order te adhero to the principles he professed If te any belongs the equivocal glory of having kept up the antagonism between the manufacturing and agricultural interests in Britain, and fostered a spirit of selfish hostility to the great free trado measures, it appertains by right to the Premier, the Earl of Derby. After the secession of Sir Robert Peel, he was the acknowledged chief of the country party, and whatever political influence he wields he owes to them. Through evil and good | repate they have stuck manfully by him. The name of Stanley has been for years their rallying "This is the man who is now devising plans to throw protection overboard, and to sacrifice every plank of the platform to which he was pledged. Foisted into office as a pis aller, he and his ool- leagues have too keen a relish for its sweets to re- sign them on high grounds of principle. Thoy em- bittered the last years of Sir Robert Peel’s life by their taunts at what they termed his apostacy; they added, every year, fresh fuel to the flame of discontent which burned in the agricultural eoun- ties; they harassed the whig administration with a virulence which seems the peculiar concomitant of error; and, after all, now that the power of ma- king a vigorous effort to remedy the ills they have | so long and so Joudly deplored is placod in their | grap, they strike their flag, and resolve to carry out the policy they have so often denounsed as | fatal to the interests of Groat Britain. History affords few examples of so gross a sacrifice of prin- ciple for the sake of power and money. Its enormity would barely be paralleled if Gen- eral Pierce’s cabinet, on their accession to power, were to introduce a bill to re-enast a high tariff, and endeavor to repeal the compro- mise measures. Too little interest is felt here on the subject of the ministerial struggle in Great Britain, to war- rant our enlarging on the details. It will suffice to | strength in the House by a motien, in which the benefits resuliing from the adoption of the free trade policy were acknowledged, and a firm pledge given that that policy should not be reversed. This was met by an amendment, moved by Mr. Chancellor Disraeli, and bearing the unmistakeable stamp of his peeuliar subtlety. The amendment affirms the | benefits which have flowed from “recent legisla- | tion,” and pledges the administration to adhere to the “policy of unrestrieted competition,” ‘in thosa measures of financial or administrative reform As will be seen at a glance, this specious resolution pledges the government to nothing. If the free traders allow themselves te be caught by the | apparent candor with whieh the wisdom of their doctrines is admitted, and support the amendment, they will afterwards find, perhaps, to their surprite@that the administration, though | well pleased in theory with the principles of free trade, do not ‘‘deem it their duty to introduce” apy measures embodying those views. In a word, Mr. Disraeli’s motion in amendment was as con- temptible an instance of political duplicity as we remember to have met. Fortunately for the people of England, it matters very little in reality whether Mr. Villiers’ or the Chancellor’s motion is carried. Mr. Disraeli and his | colleagues are as harmless in fact as thoy are formid- | able in intention. Even though the House be de- luded into an unguarded vote of confidence, they | the first attempt at practical logislation on its basi The Earl of Derby will find that no half measures will be suffered. He must ‘‘cat the leek,” skin and | all, if he would retain his cherished power. Of Mr. Chancellor Disraeli very little need be said. We have always considered him a political charlatan—a man who believes not half he says, and is ready to profess any doctrines from which | he fancies he can derive fame, honor, or pro- | fit. Kis last feat has been stealing whole pas- | sages from an old oration of M. Thiers on | a French Marshal, and serving them up to an Eng- | lish audience as the ‘iments suggested by the | death of the Duke of Wellington to the mind of the Chanceller ef the Exchequer. So gress a pla- | giarism—it is fut four years since M. Thiers’ speech | was published im the English papers—eannet but | | disgust the small class of admirers whe were dazzled by the brilliant rhetorie and neat sarcasm of the | author of Vivian Grey. To those who know Dis- racli, it cannot be 2 matter of the slightest wonder that he should have been caught stealing his neigh- | bor’s principles or his eloquence; but the sturdy gentlemen of the country party in England will | hardly consent to march under the banner of a man | most forcible manner, his utter want of pelitical or | literary honesty. j What our British neighbors will do for » ministry, between the woaknets and inconsistency of the whigs, the unreliable policy of Sir James Graham, we cannet undertake to say—nor, indeed, is it our business to inquire. We might, did we conoeive | that any benefisial results wonld dow from the | retaliation, retort heavily on the Times for ita attacks on Mr. Webster, by sketching a portrait of | vent men to whom the destiny of Groat | is entrusted. If the great statesman whose death we yet deplore did commit errors of judg- of his life, he was never knowa to accept office as a whig and rule as a democrat. He never stoly papors, and pasted them off as his own, when he | was called upon to give utterance to a nation's of srogard for publie opiuien our statesmen are usually guiltlees; they yield \ alike the palm of politien! profligacy, and the laurels of liternry plagiarism, to their Huglish rivals Tur Dewocuaric Ex MOND, V4., Was 2 great i and letters, and toasts, in tho utmost profusion. | Father Ritchie was unanimously proslaimed the lion of the ovening, and mado the most Bair-splitting ECTORAL ms of "8S and’2%.

Hew this immenee job is to be done for the sum spesified in the centract is a mystery; but from past ¢: perience in such large jobs, it will be no mystery if the Corporation, in the end, is saddled with ten or twenty times the amount of the socepted bid Whether the extension will or will not operate to fill up the North river docks with the sediment from the eity, the work itself will demonstrate. The thing is now to become a practical experiment, and we must be contert to mark the beginning and the progress of the work, and its eonsequenese when the work js done. In the meantime, the little breeze which was raised awhile ago, in behalf of the new Park, has died away, and en that important subject sow there isa great ealm. But the city goes on ex- tending northward with giant strides, and very oon, unless rome steps are taken to gain a foothold for the proposed Park, the last hope will be s:val- lowed up in bricks and mortar, and brown sione front Let the opportunity slip away now, and it may be relinquished forever. A large and splendid Park, which might now be secured for two or three millions, will require an outlay of ten, fifteem, or twenty millions, five years hence—and it is more likely to be twenty than ten. At such a cost, it is safe to predict that there will be no Park for New York until the whole island is a selid mass of buildings. From present appearances, the prospect is gloomy enough. At the end of ten years we may expect the population of the city to bo swelled to a million “of souls, to say nothing of the swarming suburbs of for, be it understood, that even Hoboken, yea, and Weehawken, are going the way of all our strroand- ings.

We may surely predict that New York, thus shut up, without air, and full of miasms and contagion, will become notoriously the most un- healthy city north of Gharleston. The mortality of eur infant pepulatien, especially, is even new, and | has been for come years, sufficiently alarming; and, it cannot fail to be aggravated as the aggravating | causes aro increased.

Yesterday forenoon, Mise Brecon, delivered her second Jesson om history, at the Stuyvesant Imetitute Not- withstanding the severe storm that raged throughout the morning. tho audience, which was principally composed of ladies, wes numerous. ‘The fair lecturer said that of the two e’ements of our mature, one takes @ part and is satisfied with « prrt of study, while the superior portion of our nature seizes on the whole, and in fact individualises us, It compels us to analyse ihe relations between different things andis not contented with common places. It is the greatfault of the general rystem of education that this grand ele. ment i not particularly regarded—this great quality of our purer nature, Ia there any principle of ualty of our system of education? Istherea oneness? What is the principle they proceed on? Mental discipline is the com- won unity pb It isthe common idea of teachers to discipline th mtal faculties, I believe that is the lust result of the experiments ia education. It is the fiset ebject to ascertain what the mental feculties are and then to discipline them. to exercise them. Now it does not reem to me that that is the right sort of eduea- tion. It is not the exact unity we require; it does not satisfy our minds, We require something more. We need a course of baad 8d jo possess the it unity for their sole object. The exereising of mental powers and strengthening our minds is certainly beneficial, but It should be a enbordinate chject. What is the one great question which we all ask, and which our education should enable us toanswer? What is the one great ques- tion which absorbs ali our nature? It is not a question of faculties. but a question of destiny! We ali go into this out: door world, and curious feelings posses: us when we survey this out-door world, this world of time, of space, ofevents and of circumstances. It seems at first sight as it rearon could not perform its full work there, as if au barmonions whole could not be made of that muititudi- nous diversity, which the senses, and which experience generally, presents tous But this is one of the greus questions which we ought to sympathize with and fully comprehend. What is all this tending to, all this diver- sity of action which obtrudes iteelf on our senses’ Is there any unity in it? When we have directed our studies aright, we will see that every event is pregnant with me: apd ach hears a relation to that great | whole wbic! constantly evolving itself from all events. None of the present systems of cducation will teach us the great truth which ¢vents display We want to kaow what has been, and to what are all things tending? What has been and what is to be, are the questions we all ask with common earnestness. aud {n the solution, all have s common interest. If you study history fom the right point of view, you will be satisfied that all things are works ‘of progress, and however our own individual lives may seeua to fade, there js something that does not fade. ll the monuments of literature all the monuments of the other ages that are pas od, I should say, may be studied from this point of view, What have they not contributed to the common development? In our last lesson we noticed that when the door of history is opened, when the curtain of the historic theatre, of the historic stage, rises, we find that s great work has already been done. and we must pre suppose oiher actions which are not depicted on the acene. What does the first scene of history exhibit? A high state of civilization, not so high as now existe, in the southwest part of Asia and in Egypt, and on the eastern thore of the Mediterranean sea, and we notice separate states where history begins. But we also find another im- portant fact—that thore states formed no unity—for thoy had been separated. [Miss Bacon here referred to the | cbronological diagrams ] I mentioned in my last lecture | that historical scholars now deny that chronology is rightly defined and eettled in this period, further bask than a thougand years before Christ, where you soe the name of Solomon. This chasm in the Hebrew writings, the scholars say, cannot be called sacred chronology, but no one need be disturbed on that soore On the present occasion I must be allowed still to adhere to the com- | mon chronology, which placed Moses at 1,500 years before Obrist, and the book of Job can be put as far back as the Pertateuch. Here, then, the first cotemporary records Mere patches, absorbing the dust and erhala- tions of the surrounding streets. And what is | the great distinguishing charm of London, , of Paris, Berlin, Vienna, and Madrid? Their | grand public parks, gardens, and plazas. There is | not a Spanish village on the American continent without its plaza—its cathedral and its plaza—the | two great pre-requisites for the preservation of the | soul and the body. And on this continent, we should bear in mind, the summers are much hotter than in the same latitudes of Europe, and that the | decomposition and evaporation of animal and vego- table matter is correspondingly increased. Thus, | too, in the same ratio, is augmented the necessity | for cleanliness and ventilation—for clean streets and | public parks, where the hard laboring classes, par. ticularly, may enjoy occasionally the groat blessing of fresh air. { This is the utilitarian view of the question. The | fashionable and: ornamental admits, aleo, of some | elaboration ; but it would be work of superero- gation to digcuss it. If ‘‘ upper-tendom” does not comprehend the ornamental and fashionable useg ef such a placo as Hyde Park, or the Gardens of the Tuilleries, they hive travelled to London and Paris to less purpose than even we had supposed. New York is entitled toa Park. The public health de- mands it—it is demanded as the very lungs of a great city ike this, and as its chiefest and eheapest attraction. Iashion requires it, and poverty and destiiution, dying in unwholesome holes and eorners, pleads for the fresh airof a Park. Shall we not have it? Who will move in the matter? Now is the time. Mone Work ror tut Executionen—The Court | of Oyer and Terminer, in this city, prosented, yes terday morning, one of those deplorable spectacles | of which, to the disgrace of our civilization, it is so frequently the theatre. Four young men, in the | very spring and promiee of life, were brought up in charge of the officers of the law, to receive that | dread sentence which consigns them to a premature and ignominious grave; and two other convicts, over whose heads the sword of justice has beon hanging hy a single hair for monghs past, were also in attendance, in the custody of the Sheriff, to hear the public prosecutor move for a warrant fer their execution e Terrible scene, indeed, it was, to be enacted in the heart of a ctvilized and Christian community, and | manity. From the sircumstance of three of those criminals being, as was proved, accomplices ef a gang of san- guinary desperadoes, who havo for years carried on their depredations as dock robbers, as well as trom the fact of their being ail so young—the eldest being but twenty-three, while the youngest was but | eighteen years of age—much interest was mamifost- | ed to witmess the sad ceremony of recording sen- texce, and cousequontly the court-room was crowd- ed with spectators. Nicholas Howlett, William Saul and William Johnson, the three last alluded to, and the particulars of whose crime are too fresh inthe memory of our readers to need repetition, heard, with tho most cold-blooded indifference and eemposure, the observations whieh the Court made with respect to the atrocity of which they had been guilty, and the course of lifo which they had led, and they apparently were the most un- moved of the assembly at hearing that sen- tence which limited their term of mortal life to the 28sh of January next, Calm, stolid, and | imperturbed, thoy appeared to the speetaters az men in whom the sympathies and feelings of human nature have been utterly seared, deadened and era- dicated, by the vicious courses they have pursued.

But James Doyle bad given him- intemperance, and in the insane promptings of his last debauch he committed that crime which ho is now to expiate on the seaffold. The other two con- viets, Clarke and Sullivan, still remain with their fate hanging in the balanoe, and haye yet another fortnight of terrible uneertainty to await the deo’ sion of the Court on the points of law raised by their counsel. In another portion of our columns be toand the details of this tragic scene, and we trust that } the folemn warning conveyed in tho sentences pro» nounced by the Judge will have its eifect in do- | terring from their evil course those who are now engaged in oareers of vice and dissipation, such as have led these condemned wen into the fearful pass | ia which they now find themselves.

Marine Affatrs. New Curren Sr Bary Eacux.—Induced by the com- mendatory remarks of a Boston correspondent, we paid a visit yesterday to this noble clipper ship, and found her to exceed in beauty and general construction even all our favorable prejudication liad led us to expect. She is lying at pier 16, East River, and, from her position, is | teen to admirable advantage for nearly the whole length of Wall street, and attracts general attention by ber su- perior beauty of model, and the striking contrast in her build from her neighboring sisters of the deep. For the few days she has been here, she bas been crowded with visitors, and the eulogiums paid to the skill of her builder, in producing such a master piece, have been of every flattering character. She is the latest production of Mr. Donald M'Kay, the celebrated builder of Boston. and is owned by Mr. George P. Upton, of the same city. She is a large vessel, of 1,703 tons government measure ment, and has storage capacity for 2,200 tons of goods Her dimensions it is not necessary for us to repeat in full here. snd wil! merely observe that her timbers are very heavy, and fastened in most thorough manner, there being in her, betweem decks alone, no less than 1,42 bolts. The keel is sided 16, and moulded 30 inches, in two depths; ficor timbers on the keel moulded 19 and sided from 12 to 14 inches, and she has three tiers of midship keelrons, cach 15 fuches square, and sister keel- sont of 12 by 14 inches; lower deck beams 16 inches square; upper, 9 by 15; and the hanging and lodging knees are all of oak, and secured by 18 to 20 bolts each. | ‘This will give u slight idea of hor massive strength, every | other part of her bull being in proportion. Mr, M-Kay, in | putting this vessel together has shown his usual accu ral outline to displease the eye in the least, from stem to taffrail, every detail combining and producing a perfeet harmonious whole, Although very sharp, there is nothing abrupt in it, and her lines swell out and recede with an fase and grace only to be aceomplished by vast experience in the wt of a building.

Howleit's brother, a handseme and meck looking young lad, about fourteen years of age, sat near his unfortunate relative; his brother-in-law was also in court. Howlett isa native of Nova Seotia, and is only eighteen years of age; Saul was born in Ireland, and is a few yoars his senior; and Johnson, a native of New York, is about twenty-one or twenty-two years of age, They are said to have belonged toe most daring and desperate gang of river thieves Doyle is alarge, thick set man, twenty-seven years of age, and_born in.

Yhe Oyer and Terminer having beem opened im the usual form— ‘The District Attoney rose and said—May it please your honors, I move the judgment of the Vourt on James Doyle, convicted of the murder of Charlotte Vonsery. ‘he Clerk. Mr. Vandervort, then interrogated the pei say why sentence of death, and execution thereon, Doyle attempted to speak, but could not give utter- ance te his words; he indistinctly said he didn’t reeol- lect anything about it “ She cut my throat.” The pri- soner here tnrned to his counsel, Mr. Clinton Mr. Il, L. Clinton said the prisoner desires me to state lection of what occurred at the time of this homicide No one can regret that it occurred more than he himself does. His throat is so much affected by the wound that he has it difficulty in utterance. The Judge then said : James Doyle, you were put upon your trial for the murder of Charlotte Connery. You were defended by able counsel, and an intelligent jury, after a fall and caze- ful investigation, pronounced you guilty. The facts which were developed upon the trial, showed that you are not naturally a bad man, The testimony of your employers, of your fellow workmen, and of your com- panions showed that when you were yor , You were amiable in. your dispesition, and industrious ia your habits. But, unfortunately, you became the slave oi an ppetite. which destroyed” the better qualities of ‘our nature, and stimulated your worst passions, The Visti of your fury was a weak and defenceless woman long been an inmate of her family ; and as she told you on the evening Scag the fatal event. she had always treated you with kindness. It appeared upom your trial, that at a former period you bad been con- scious of your infirmity, and that you had pledged your. self to a life of temperance and sobriety, But, in ancril | hour, your recolution yielded. Eveu in your lest fatal | debauch, you declared that when that was over you would renew your pledge ; but. unfortunately, that good intention came too late, and you mow witness the fatal consequences. You have deprived a follow being of her precious life. You have left orphan obildren ved. of the dearest friend, protector, and comforter, that they can have upon earth. There is, probably, no one who at this moment regrets the fatal deed more than yourself. Although we believe that your penitence is sincere. yet Sig renin is not our privilege; that must be sought from a bigher er The sentence of the Court is, that on the 28th day of January next, you be hanged by the neck until you be dead. The death warrant was then signed by the presiding Judge and Aldermen Ward and Cornell and handed te Mr. Sheriff Carnloy. SENTENCE OF DVATH ON HOWLETT, SAUL AND JOHNSON, FOR THE MURDER OF BAXTER. The District Attorney said, in the case of the three young men, Howlett, Saul and Johnson, convicted of the murder of Baxter on the night of tho ‘twenty-fourth of August last, I now move the judgment of the Court. ‘he Clerk then in the same form asked each of them what they had to say why sentence of death and execu- tion thereon should not be passed upon them. Howlett replied=-For myself I have nothing to say, but for my mother and brothers and other friends I would be most gladly happy to ray that I am not the man who committed the murder for which I have to suffer accor d- ing to law. faut said, with much sternress—I do not think there is much ure in ssying anything. anyhow. All I have got to say is, that I am innocent of the charge against me. Johnson said—All Ihave got to say is, that I am in- nocent of the crime for which I have m convicted.

Fiom what appeared upon the trial, and from informa- tion which we haye received from other sources, we are convinced that your previous liy es had been those of de- pravity and crime. But the punishment which you had already suilered for your offences, was without auy ealu- tary effect, and instead of acting as warning. it only in- creased your boldner3 and hardihood. until at last, you seemed to think that theze was something of heroism in your crimes, end that murder could furnish a sure safe. guard against detection, The man whom you killed was a stranger to you. Ata iod when others seek repose, he had ex} himself to fatigue and danger Iie had made (hese sacrifices for the Zoaintenance of those whdse natural claims taught them to look to him for support and protection.

You wont prey d with the means of resistance and death; bad when you were alarmed, you destroyed your victim with as much indifference as if he had been a beast of pn Riven after you had committed the fatal crime of which you have been convicted, with a hardihood almost without parailel, you immediately proceeded to the com- mission of other crimes, and after you were arrested, the deadly weapon which you had “used was found in the place where you were detested By -your fatal act you not oaly destroyed an innocent and unof- fending man, but you spread desolation in his fa mily.

Perhaps there are some now piesent—and let me tell them on this eclemn dccasion, that the law isa mizhty and a terrible power, that there isa wise and inseruteble Providence, which, in its own good time, reveals the misdeeds of men: that the hour of retribution. although it inay be slow, will be sure, aud that “murder, though it has no tongue will speak with most miraculous organ,” ‘The jury recom: mended one of you to merey, but the Court do not con- eur in the prop of that recommendation; and they deem it their daty to warn you to prepare for the awful event which awaits you.

Mr. Blunt, District ee A responded, seriatin, te the arguments used by Mr. Morris, contending that no infe- rior court could question the jurisdiction of the Court of Appeals. The discussion of such a question would ap- pear to bim to place matters in this position; that if the Court of ape having entertained j ction, hav- ‘jurisdiction determined a proceeding, and remitted it to an inferior court. that every court in this State, divided into eight judicial districts, and having in the city of New York ‘two courts of civil j from which an sppeal lies direct to the Court that cach and every one of the ten separate j might set up their individual judgments the court of lat rerort.
